Pros: The LG Ultrabook is as good as any other i5 offering. The real standout is the design, the fact that it is white and stylish adds to the value proposition especially as an Ultrabook is designed to be light, portable and highly functional. The big decision will be whether you buy the new LG H160 TabBook (This is a separate story) which is equally as stylish or you go with the LG Ultrabook.
Cons: The only problem I had with this device was the keypad, for some users the function will come across as irritating. What I suggest if you are using this device as your main PC is to buy an attach USB dock and a low cost wireless mouse. By having additional USB ports you can easily plug in an optical drive which is ideal for loading disc based software. You can also charge a smartphone or tablet by plugging into the USB dock.
REVIEW: PC Fashion Takes A Quantum Leap With New LG Ultrabook
By David Richards | Tuesday | 11/06/2013
Coming from behind and with some tough competitors ahead can be a daunting challenge, especially if you are brand like LG and you are looking to compete in the volatile PC market where discounting is rampant and sales are falling due to a new generation of tablets and smartphones.

Big Announcement
It is party time 'round Libraryman way my friends! And it's a community party, which means that you are invited (see the next to last paragraph of this blog post for you invitation details). At this party, you get to tell me a story or two…..and I get to write. A book. For ALA Editions!
While I'm bursting to tell you about my first book deal ever, Jenni Fry, Editor at ALA Editions tells the story in a much calmer and more reasonable voice:
"At Midwinter (2007) in Seattle, no fewer than three people sought me out, one even stopping me on the street, to tell me that "Michael Porter's got an idea" for a book. Never one to be too slow on the uptake, I made sure to talk with him at a reception we were both attending. Several conversations and one contract later, I'm thrilled to say that Michael (aka Libraryman) will be writing for us.
Just what is this big idea, you say? Michael will be interviewing and gathering stories from individuals and institutions that have become leaders in successful electronic community engagement. He will use these stories as the basis for real-world lessons that libraries can use to more effectively engage the communities they serve. The work will be many things: part historical snapshot of this transition period in library service, part motivational storytelling, part benchmarking, and part practical handbook."
Of course, Jenni is being a generous friend and editor because as I remember the story, it was I who tracked her down, two minute book pitch/elevator speech on the tip of my eager tongue. Regardless of how it happened, they did actually sign the contract so it is now legal and everything. In fact, I've taken a couple of stabs at an intro. Here's one that is close:
"This is a book about effective and practical electronic community engagement. It is a book bursting with valuable, moving, entertaining, exciting and often times unusual stories and ideas. The stories all have lessons that center on people engaging with electronic community in ways that make the players more human. Each centrally themed collection of stories concludes with lessons learned, ideas and action items you can put to use in your library, business or personal life."
I hope you like it, 'cause unless the ALA folks say no, that's how the book will go.
Now I get to thank a few folks that made this happen and then I'll give you the official Michael Porter invitation to the party. Here goes:
Thanks to Jenni Fry and Patrick Hogan at ALA Editions for making this happen.
A whole slew of thank you's to Chrystie Hill, who has a book coming out very soon herself and who also really helped align the stars that spelled out Y E S to this book proposal.
Also, thanks to Janie Hermann, who unbeknownst to me, also smiled upon this project.
The biggest thanks however go to the audience for and major subject matter of the book, that is, the inspirational and motivational colleagues I am blessed to know and work with. Does it crack anybody else up that simply thanking all the Jennifers', Davids', Michaels' and Karens' out there in Libraryland covers half of us? Seriously though, thank you for helping to make this the most exciting time ever to work in libraries. This project will succeed because of you. Which leads me to your invitation to the party!
Your invitation:
This is my first public request for both library and NON-LIBRARY stories of community engagement. If you have had a story the has sprung to life from a single, or series of electronic community building tools and would be willing to share, please let me know so others can learn from it in this book! The more dramatic, intense, moving, informative, useful, practical and entertaining are obviously desirable. However, the beauty of subtlety is appreciated here as well. Even sending a one or two paragraph summary of a noteworthy community engagement story in your life could be a genuinely helpful inclusion in the book. So please think about your stories and consider sharing them with this book's future audience. You can e-mail them to me at: michael.libraryman at sign gmail.com
I have some good content, substantial ideas and leads already, BUT we really need lots of stories like the ones described above from all over. In fact, they do not have to come from just library staffers. Non-library stories of electronic community engagement will make up the majority of those exemplified and examined in this book. That means if you have friends or family with stories that could enhance this book, I would LOVE to hear them!
Finally, this is my first book deal, so I am especially excited. I believe there is real benefit for Libraryland in the subject matter and approach here, which makes the project really pop for me as a librarian, practical tech advocate and author. But frankly, I don't plan on trying to write a huge number of books. That means I truly believe in the idea and will work hard to make this useful, practical and helpful for us all. So for me, it is a big deal. And while it is a very happy project with lots of interesting work in store, I would like to end this announcement by thanking my dear grandma, Irene Porter-Baer. Grandma passed a way a few years ago but she was always one of my best friends, closest allies and strongest champions. I wouldn't have been able to attend college or grad school without her help, so this opportunity would not have come to pass without her. I miss her and think of her often. I also try my best to make a proud legacy for her with my work. It is just another motivation to make this book be the best I can make it for us all. So either in the books' introduction or conclusion I will thank you folks in Libraryland, and I will also thank my inspirational grandma that I owe a huge part of this current opportunity to.
Now please send me your stories of electronic community engagement, people!
PS-I'll bet my editors are quaking in fear the the entire book will be as turgid as this blog post. Hey, at least I used the word "turgid"! <–Note to self, no emoticons in the book.

William Henry Bradley
Baby, It's Cold Outside!
With the temperature outside at record lows this week, I can't help but think of William Henry Bradley's The Blue Lady. Clutching her ice skates in her left hand, she makes a cold winter's stroll through the thin, bare trees look elegant and placid. (It is a sad contrast to the bundle of blue layers I've been hunkered down in as I head for the subway).

• Documents: Indiana medical licensing board material related to Garcia's request for a license
• Photos: More images related to the cases
In the fall of 2012, Dr. Roger Brumback may have unwittingly sealed his fate.
At that time, Brumback wrote a letter to the Indiana medical licensing board, explaining why former Creighton University pathology resident Dr. Anthony J. Garcia was fired in 2001.
Six months later, Brumback and his wife, Mary, were found dead in their Omaha home.
A similar letter, written in February 2008, to Louisiana medical officials may have sealed the fate of house cleaner Shirlee Sherman and 11-year-old Thomas Hunter, who were killed about a month later.
The boy's father, Dr. William Hunter, worked with Brumback at Creighton University's pathology department and had a hand in Garcia's dismissal.
Garcia was arrested Monday in connection with the four unsolved murders, committed over a span of five years, that sent tremors of fear through Creighton's medical community.
The latest in the case
� Dr. Anthony J. Garcia has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Omaha killings. He is scheduled to appear in court at 11:30 a.m. today at the Union County Courthouse in Jonesboro, Ill.
� Garcia is being represented by a legal team that includes Robert M. Motta II and his wife, Alison H. Motta, and Motta's father, Robert M. Motta. The senior Motta defended serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who was convicted of the sexual assault and murder of 33 teenage boys and young men. Gacy was executed for his crimes in 1994.
� Robert M. Motta II said late Tuesday afternoon that he and his co-counsel were en route to Jonesboro and have not been able to meet with Garcia or review the case file. Motta said a decision on whether to fight extradition may not be made until just prior to or during today's hearing.
� Garcia made a first appearance in Union County Circuit Court on Tuesday morning. Presiding Circuit Judge Mark Boie read the Nebraska charges against Garcia, who walked into the courtroom in a gray-striped jail jumpsuit and chains.
Garcia told the judge he had not spoken with an attorney. The judge said he would not proceed with the question of sending Garcia to Omaha until Garcia could consult with a lawyer.
Garcia is being held at the Jackson County Jail in Murphysboro, Ill.
� Task force investigators reportedly were in Garcia's hometown of Walnut, Calif., and at an Indiana federal prison where Garcia worked as a contract physician.
� Besides the Nebraska murder charges, Garcia faces charges of drunken driving and unlawful use of a weapon stemming from his arrest Monday in Union County, Ill. Authorities said Garcia appeared to be intoxicated and had a .45-caliber handgun.
Compiled by World-Herald staff writers Maggie O'Brien, Todd Cooper, Jeanne Hauser and Lizzie Johnson, as well as Caleb Hale of the Southern Illinoisan in Carbondale, Ill.
Officials say the former federal prison doctor was motivated by revenge because he believed his dismissal at Creighton had cast a pall over his medical career.
Alison Motta of Aurora, Ill., a lawyer hired by Garcia's family, said Tuesday that the family is "sure this is a mix-up."
"They fully support him and are certain this is not what it appears," Motta told The World-Herald.
Garcia, who worked in Chicago, is expected to make his second court appearance at 11:30 a.m. today in Jonesboro, Ill. It is not known whether he will fight extradition to Nebraska. Such fights within the United States are typically futile.
Garcia's former boss in Chicago, Dr. Benjamin Toh, described him Tuesday as a good employee who was well liked by their patients, but who was private and would dodge questions about his personal life.
"Any prying, and you would get an abstract, vague, nondescript answer," said Toh.
The Indiana medical licensing board on Tuesday released a slew of documents that cast some light on Garcia's residency woes and gave a possible deadly timeline for why he may have returned to Omaha.
Garcia, who once worked as a contracted prison doctor at a federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind., had applied for a medical license in that state in 2008. As a part of that application process, the board sought information from Creighton and other medical facilities where Garcia had worked.
In a 2012 letter to the medical board, Brumback explained that Garcia was fired for "unprofessional behavior toward a fellow resident." Other documents said Garcia attempted to sabotage a fellow resident by calling the resident's wife while he was taking an exam and demanding that he return to work.
"This (the call) resulted in considerable anxiety and distress for the wife and the resident at a time when the resident was attempting to pass a high-stakes examination which would ultimately determine whether or not he could continue in the residency program," according to a termination letter sent to Garcia by Creighton.
That letter was signed by Dr. Walter J. O'Donohue Jr., an associate dean at Creighton University. O'Donohue died of a genetic disease in 2002.
The documents also provide another possible motive for the earlier slayings of 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and Shirlee Sherman.
The two were stabbed to death in March 2008, just a month after the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners denied Garcia a license based in large part on his termination from Creighton, according to the documents.
Overall, the documents indicate that Garcia's troubles as a resident made it difficult for him to become licensed in other states — except Illinois, which granted Garcia a license in 2003.
Garcia was fired from three residency programs. At the Bassett St. Elizabeth Medical Center residency program in Utica, N.Y., Garcia was fired after he yelled at a radiology technician.
The New York board of medical conduct sent Garcia a letter, saying that his conduct in the residency raised concerns and that if he applied for a license in New York, his application would be "flagged" for additional scrutiny.
"Our reviewer expressed concern regarding your behavior during your entire residency at Bassett and felt that your conduct left serious doubt as to your future ability to successfully practice medicine within acceptable standards," the New York board wrote in a 2001 letter to Garcia.
Garcia said in a rebuttal letter that he resigned from Bassett after he was suspended.
"On the last month I was there, I was suspended for yelling at a radiology technician. I subsequently resigned my position because I felt I was being treated unfairly," Garcia wrote in a letter that was a part of his Indiana application.
After New York, Garcia was accepted at Creighton. He lasted only about a year before he was fired.
Garcia also took issue with his firing at Creighton, saying the only thing he did wrong was to call a fellow pathology resident and tell him that his vacation had not been approved.
He then was accepted at the University of Illinois at Chicago family residency program but left after about two years, he said, due to "poor health/migraine headaches."
His last and final residency program was in psychiatry at Louisiana State University Medical Center in Shreveport. He lasted seven months before he was dismissed.
It is believed Garcia grew up in the wealthy California community of Walnut, east of Los Angeles. He attended undergraduate college at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut and has used a Walnut home as his mailing address for years, including when he applied for his Indiana medical license.
A man who answered the telephone at the home, valued at more than $650,000, declined to comment Tuesday. "I don't have to talk to you," he said, before hanging up.
Shortly after he was granted a medical license in Illinois, Garcia appeared to be beset by both medical and financial problems.
In 2004, he apparently returned home to Walnut, where he filed for bankruptcy. A big part of his debt was medical bills. In his bankruptcy documents, Garcia said he was unemployed.
In about 2009, he returned to Chicago with only his black Pontiac convertible stuffed with his belongings. He soon found a job at the clinic Visiting Physicians, which was owned by Toh.
Garcia was hired to go into the homes of elderly patients on Medicare and perform medical services.
When he first got to Chicago, Garcia did not have a place to live or any furniture. Toh rented him a furnished room until he eventually moved into an apartment in the tony Hyde Park area.
Toh recalls that he asked Garcia in the job interview about a fellowship or residency that he had started but not finished at the University of Illinois.
Toh also was curious about how Garcia seemed to be an experienced doctor even though he hadn't practiced in more than five years. He also wondered how he could afford such nice things with no medical salary.
Garcia never really answered those questions, though he did imply that he had some kind of personal crisis or breakdown.
Garcia eventually moved on in less than a year. At one point he had mentioned that he was contracting with another clinic, Toh said.
"Not to make light of the matter," Toh said of the killings, "but when I heard about it I thought, thank God I didn't fire him."
Online records linked Garcia with a similar clinic about 20 minutes south of Toh's. But a man who works there said the office is no longer a clinic and doesn't employ doctors. He said he had not heard of Garcia.
World-Herald staff writer Maggie O'Brien contributed to this report.

Completing their build-up to this tea-time's visit to Goodison Park, club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton look back and forward…
Last season's Blues win at Goodison Park was our first there in the Premier League since April 2008, when a first-half Michael Essien knock-in from close quarters secured the three points. The 2-1 win last Christmas ended a run of three successive Everton league wins, although we were victorious there in the Carling Cup in 2011.
On a Wednesday afternoon in mid-April 1948, 28,000 spectators were present for a 6.30pm kick-off to see the London hue of blue triumph. Before Christmas half as many again had watched the Londoners cuff the Toffees 3-1 but Billy Birrell wanted more consistency and the great Roy Bentley had arrived since then.
It had not been an explosive start for the Bristolian, who had managed just two goals in 11 matches. Perhaps his handling since arriving from Newcastle could have been more sensitive - he was played in three of the five forward positions as another arrival, Hugh Billington, hogged the 9 shirt.
It was at inside-right, not elusive centre-forward, that Roy hit the third of his 150 goals for Chelsea in a courageous 3-2 win on Merseyside, the second two-point haul in five days, as any fear Birrell had of relegation evaporated.
The Toffees had ended Manchester United's title challenge at the weekend with a 2-0 win, but remained stoically mid-table. The death penalty had been abolished in the UK the day before but perhaps Birrell would have asked for it back when his defence allowed bit-part right-winger William Higgins to triple his tally for the season with a brace before half-time.
The fact the two sides went in level was down to Bentley, who opened the scoring for the Blues, and a man at the end of his debut season, Glaswegian winger Bobby Campbell (pictured below). The game eventually edged Chelsea's way thanks to 'Ace of Hearts' Tommy Walker, a silky-skilled inside-left. The win was Chelsea's first at Everton since the same 3-2 scoreline had been registered in April 1922.

How much that drove Everton was mentality instilled and reinforced by David Moyes during his 11-year stay? New ideas, tactics, relationships are always liable to dislodge some mortar from the settled walls of a fortress.
Chelsea have started games with intensity under Jose Mourinho, pressing opponents in the final third, especially those required to play the ball out from the back.
It is too early to judge who the winners and losers are under new coach Roberto Martinez. Already, though, Everton's build-up appears more patient than before and their game far more possession-hungry. Crucially the pivotal player under Moyes, Marouane Fellaini, has moved on to Old Trafford.
Chelsea's on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku, who will no doubt provide the firepower the new manager felt was lacking (with centre-forward Victor Anichebe departing after 15 years at Goodison), is ineligible for this one.
The absence of his fellow Belgium international, Fellaini, all elbows, height and hair, may also be felt. With his chest like an landing strip he was habitually the man to whom long passes from the back were directed, his shielding bringing others into the fray and allowing him to dictate play at his own pace.
Fellaini, for all his influence, was not the flexible, pressing, ball-retaining midfielder Martinez tends to favour and his frequent fouls caused problems. Chelsea's attacking midfield trio, whoever plays, have rapid mobility and vision that might have troubled the Belgian more than his replacements.
Deadline day loan signing Gareth Barry may also lack pace but at his best he has shown good movement, passing and tactical awareness. Likewise £13m may seem steep for James McCarthy (albeit less than half the Fellaini fee) but the versatile, two-footed Ireland international fitted the Spaniard's system perfectly at the DW Stadium. Teenager Ross Barkley has also earned plaudits while Darron Gibson has been ruled out of the Toffees' line-up.
Thirty-two-year-old Barry, who has not played for Man City this season, or Barkley is likely to partner Leon Osman as defensive screen in midfield. Long-serving Phil Neville retired in the summer.
Last time out Martinez fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation with Nikica Jelavić (pictured below), then more orthodox centre-forward Arouna Koné, at the point. Koné is one of three recruits from Martínez's former club, Wigan, and hit 11 goals in 34 matches for the relegated side. Jelavić, this season's most offside forward, has scored once in the league in 2013.
Martinez's attacking preference is to avoid the congested centre route and attempt to outnumber and isolate full-backs down the flanks. When they are successful, teammates flood the centre for a chance to threaten goal. Lukaku, with his pace and power, is perfect for breaking behind a central defence and dispatching chances with head or foot.
With Lukaku out of the game, the key area of concern for Chelsea will be by far the biggest source of Everton attacks, full-back Leighton Baines and wide midfielder Steven Pienaar on the left. The two link effectively and under Moyes were generally looking to cut in towards the heart of the opposition defence. The South African has scored in his last two games at Goodison against Chelsea and his raiding presence may force Mourinho's hand on who plays right of the three and at right-back.
However both Everton full-backs can be suspect defensively and although Martinez usually requires one of his flankers to stay back it is not always the case at the moment. Chelsea will hope to exploit these areas and get in behind the rearguard, something Norwich targeted in their 2-2 opening day draw. Four times African Footballer of the Year Samuel Eto'o trained with his new teammates this week. Demba Ba and Fernando Torres will also press their case for a start.
With a combined age of 66, Everton's preferred centre-back pairing of Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin provide the main presence at set-plays at both ends now that Fellaini has gone. So far they contributed towards two clean sheets in three league matches and just five shots on target - reminiscent of Moyes's safety-first approach. With Chelsea's strength at set-pieces already bringing two goals this season, it remains to be seen whether Martinez's Toffees will remain as hard to crack.

Crawford was one of the driving forces behind the inception of the Challengers Division in Nevada's Little League District 1. The Challengers Division allows special needs children to play a game of modified baseball.
"For our kids, this gives them something to do too," said Crawford, whose son is autistic and was among the group that started Challengers in the Truckee Meadows 20-plus years ago. "We give out trophies to the kids. When they get a trophy, it's like you're giving them a million bucks."
Special needs children from throughout the District 1 Region, Sparks, Reno, South Tahoe Truckee and beyond can participate in the league, which plays its regular season schedule at Reno National's Little League complex at Swope Middle School.
The league has eight teams and 87 children participating this spring. On Tuesday night, 24 of those kids played an exhibition game at Golden Eagle Regional Park during Sparks Centennial Little League's championship night, which featured seven different division championship games.
"This is always something I've thought about doing," SCLL President Steven Howe said, alluding to his efforts to bring a Challengers game to the Rail City. "We talked about when to do it and tonight was the best night. With all the people here tonight, this game is the epicenter of the night.
"I get worked up watching these kids play and the smiles on their faces. I want our (SCLL) kids to see these kids with real challenges. They just show up and play baseball and love it. It's very humbling."
Indeed it was humbling. As I talked to game organizers, league officials and parents I watched the special needs players swinging at pitches, running the bases and fielding balls on the turf, I was humbled. I was amazed at the joy on those kids faces and really how little effort it took to organize a game. It was a low-work, high reward effort.
Then I glanced at my two beautiful children and soaked in the moment, appreciating the challenges I have with my kids pale in comparison to those that parents of special needs children are challenged with every day.
Samantha Bonham knows those challenges. Her son Joshwa, 5, battles partial trisomy 16p and sensory processing disorder. Bonham said her son is lucky to be alive and that the trisomy is a leading cause of miscarriage. She said Joshwa has learning delays and speech delays. But there he was Tuesday night, enjoying a warm late spring evening at Golden Eagle Regional Park, knocking the baseball around and racing around the sacks like a gold medal was on the line.
He was in 5-year-old heaven, and he wasn't alone, loving every minute of the game. So was his mother, holding back tears.
"It's just amazing. He loves it," Samantha Bonham said. "He has fun and feels like he is important, which he is. It's emotional to talk about. My older son plays for Reno Continental and we had an interleague game at Swope against Reno National. I saw the Challenger kids playing. I couldn't stop watching. Kathy (Crawford) saw me and told me all about it. Joshwa is the fourth of five kids and now he has something to play like his brothers and sisters."
At most Challenger games, parents go onto the field. They work with and direct their children where to go and how to play. Tuesday night at GERP, 13 and 14-year old upper division players from SCLL were on field helpers for the Challenger kids.
"It's part of the 'Buddy Program," Howe said. "It's great for these able-bodied kids to help out and it's a nice change for the parents. They get to sit back in the stands and watch it all."
It takes special people to make special programs like Challengers a success. Crawford could have stepped away a long time ago, but she still stays actively involved as the league's director. Her son Kevin, 31, handles the microphone and does public address announcing for many of the games.
I'm usually not at a loss for words, but I do know my words don't do justice to the Challengers players and league organizers. From all of us in the northern Nevada community, thank you for your time and undeterred efforts in making the world of theses special needs kids, the same one the rest of us live in, a lot better place!

The Daily Announcements are a communication tool that allow
registered members of the campus community to compose and
send news and information to the students, faculty and staff
at UTMB, in a special daily message broadcast to all owners
of UTMB email accounts. The message is submitted via a web
page to a database; a computer program composes the daily
email and sends the message.
In addition to the email message, the program also publishes
the information to a web page linked to the UTMB home page.
Announcements are also archived in a database, and may be
searched and re-referenced.
The latest version of the announcements, released in March
includes new features such as a new WYSIWYG editor, MS Word
import, built-in
spell-checking, additional text formatting options, enhanced
management tools, and the ability to edit or revise pending
announcements. Another important change with the newest
version: the deadline for
submitting a message for the following day has been pushed
back to 11 p.m., from 8 p.m..
The Daily Announcements were
originally created and launched in 1998. They were overhauled in 2000,
and again in 2012, and are supported
collaboratively by University Advancement, Information
Services and Academic Resources.
Access to this communication resource is made available to
faculty, staff and students through the "trusted requester"
process. Submission privileges are granted at the departmental
level, through IS Access Management.
Permissions roll over; if you had access to the system prior
to the launch of the May 2004 version, your publishing
access will be maintained. If you are a new to the system,
your department's "trusted requester" can request access for
you (By default, all
requesters have announcement submission privileges.)
To gain access to the announcement submission page, two steps are required:
1. You must have your department's IS liaison (your "Trusted
Requestor") request access to the web announcement system on
your behalf.
Visit ITIM to find your Trusted Requestor...
2. You must agree to follow these guidelines, to use good judgment about posting
announcements, and to be responsive to complaints and advice from others.
Persons who abuse this privilege will have their ability to submit daily announcements revoked.
1. The announcement must be related to UTMB.
The purpose of the Daily Announcements is to inform UTMB faculty, staff, and
students about issues, events, and opportunities relevant to them. It is not
for advertising events unrelated to UTMB, its mission, goals or business.
2. If it is not obvious how an announcement relates to UTMB, the relationship must be made clear in the announcement message.
An example: An announcement about a garage sale is generally not UTMB business.
A garage sale hosted on campus by a registered student group to raise money
for scholarships is. Distinctions of this sort--sponsorship of an activity,
event, or message--should be made in messages, as appropriate.
3. Announcements may not be used to promote a business, commercial venture or for the personal gain of any UTMB employee.
There are two exceptions: Offers publicized by Human
Resources' Organizational Development, Training &
Recognition as a benefit to employees,
highlighting when a community business has partnered with the university to make
special offers to staff and students (reduced price sporting
event tickets, other special offers).
And, for campus services that have a contractual or policy relationship with
UTMB and make occasional use of the announcements for commercial messages
(e.g. Bookstore, parking, food services).
4. Each announcement must include a contact name, phone
number and email address for questions or additional
The web-based submission tool supports this requirement.
5. As a general guideline, an announcement should not be
posted more than three times. Publishing dates are
determined by the person submitting the announcement. In
some cases, it may be appropriate to post a message over a
longer period of time. If in doubt, please
contact us to consult.
6. The announcements are not a public forum or discussion tool.
They may not be used to air complaints or criticisms, raise
issues or review practices, or make any sort of attack on a
person or idea. The announcements are a mechanism for
communicating to a wide audience about activities, events,
and opportunities.
7. The announcements are
distributed to all UTMB faculty, students, and staff--announcements should be of interest to this wide audience.
Each recipient must take the time to open, review and
ultimately discard each set of announcements. Please keep
this in mind as you
consider an announcement. Daily announcements should not be used when a distribution
list or direct e-mailing to a subset of the campus is a viable alternative.
These guidelines may be revised as the tool is further
developed, as new features become available, and as readers
offer feedback on the merits of the service.

Chair's Welcome
The Department of Anesthesiology has a long tradition of excellence. We achieved departmental status in 1968 and have grown steadily since then both in volume and scope of anesthetic practice. We now treat roughly 30,000 patients a year in more than 45 clinical locations ranging from patient and ambulatory operating rooms to the maternity ward and the preadmission testing center At Yale-New Haven Hospital.
We conduct research in the basic, translational and clinical arenas and remain committed to developing and educating future physician scientists through such initiatives as our Resident Research Scholars Program.
In 1995 I became chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and chief of the Anesthesiology Service at Yale-New Haven Hospital. I took over a world-class department recognized for its research and clinical care, and I and the entire anesthesiology team are committed to building on that legacy of distinction established by our eminent predecessors.

LA's new Film Czar Tom Sherak stopped in Tuesday morning to talk about his new mission: keeping Hollywood productions in Los Angeles. Since LA is an industry town, it makes sense for production to stay in the state. But more and more projects are headed elsewhere. Tom says he's not fighting for celebrities who make millions, he's fighting for everybody else.
"The below the line people. Makeup woman. the driver. The grip. The construction guys. 50 percent of people working in LA today are entertainment related jobs. We need to keep them working."
Tom also pointed out it's not just folks working on projects that benefit from keeping production local.
"We know that once a production is here what it does to the vendors in our town, the bakeries and the shops, people shopping and spending money."
Tom says Mayor Garcetti's passion convinced him to take the job.
"He wears what he wants to do on his sleeve and he speaks that way. He said to me we need to do this. We live in this city...as a community and we're all a community, the city has to be healthy."
So what's the plan?
"I'm gonna do what I do. I'm gonna put together a group of really smart people who want to bring this industry back here. I'm gonna sit down with them and we're gonna come up with a plan to give to the Mayor. The Mayor and I are going to go to Sacramento. And we're hopefully going to make them an offer they can't refuse."

Charlottesville's businesses are losing out because the city hasn't done enough to make the downtown mall safe, clean, and inviting - that's the takeaway from a new report from a group of city residents and business owners.
A special committee of the North Downtown Residents Association conducted a study of local residents and found about 19 percent of respondents made fewer trips to the Downtown Mall. Of those, 14 percent cited concerns over safety.
The group is calling for the immediate installation of security cameras, and more police presence, but not everyone thinks this is about protection.
"I don't think it's necessarily safety that's the issue but it's more of the aesthetic and the look and what it does for business and the economy," said Michele Miller, a Charlottesville resident of more than four years.
Others said the have felt threatened in the past.
I'm out here in the morning and I see some homeless gentlemen walking around and it's not so so bad but every once in a while you'll have like one or two people come up and approach you that are relatively aggressive," said Jared Desisto, a Charlottesville resident of about six months. "I try to say no most of the time but that tends to lead to more harassment."
Charlottesville's City Council moved forward Monday with plans to create a street outreach program. The outreach will work with panhandlers and could change the rules to keep people from lying down in front of buildings.

Basso & Brooke - London Spring 2009
View Gallery
(LONDON) Inspired by the Heian era of Japan, designers Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke delivered their vision of a "High-Tech Romance" for Spring 2009. Colors exploded in vibrant prints which included traditional Japanese motifs such as flowers, birds, calligraphy -- we even spotted some Hokusai waves adorning dresses. The intense palette of hues encompassed coral red, iris blue, intense black, salmon, celestial blue and pale rose, with dresses pin-tucked and folded strategically to create updated versions of signature styles. On their super-high embellished platforms, models did look like they were strutting the catwalk in a geisha-esque manner. Other accessories included striking obi belts and oversized hair pins, bobby pins and fish clips, which added a playful, surreal touch, courtesy of milliner Stephen Jones.

Darmstadt, Germany
January 14, 2005
Huygens appears to be on track for its historic descent through Titan's atmosphere later today. Engineers who manage the giant radio telescope at Green Bank, West Virginia, reported at about 11:30 am GMT (5:30 am EST) that they had received a faint signal from the probe. The Green Bank radio telescope is one of a network of 18 radio telescopes that ring the Earth. The network was set up to ensure that any signals sent by the probe, or by Cassini after Huygens has transmitted its data to the orbiter, are detected by at least one of the tracking stations.
The signal received at Green Bank was quite faint. The transmitter onboard Huygens that sent it has about the same strength as the antenna on a mobile phone. Detecting it was an impressive feat, considering that was sent from more about 1.2 billion kilometers (about 750 million miles) away.
What Green Bank actually detected was the signal sent by Huygens to Cassini. Huygens' transmitter is too weak to send information back to Earth directly, so it relays its scientific data through Cassini. Although the Huygens signal contained actual scientific data it was too faint to resolve the data stream. Rather, the giant radio dish detected a carrier signal, much like the dial tone you hear when you pick up a telephone. Its receipt was a critical indicator that the Huygens missions is proceeding as planned, that the probe had completed its high-speed entry into Titan's atmosphere and that at least one of its three parachutes had deployed properly.
Data from Huygens will be relayed to Earth by Cassini later today. Cassini's orbit around Saturn has been adjusted so that it is positioned to receive Huygens' signals during the probe's descent through Titan's atmosphere and for a short time after it reaches the surface. The first of Huygens' images is expected to arrive on Earth shortly after 5:00 pm GMT (11:00 am EST).

The short answer to why Jesus needed to die is that he needed to die so that we could be saved from death. The doctrine of salvation is referred to as soteriology, and there have been entire books written on the subject. So in the little space I have, I will attempt to explain the Catholic perspective on redemption.
In the Incarnation, Jesus, the Son of God, became human. In taking on human nature, Jesus began the process of reconciling humanity with God. Adam and Eve rejected God's will in favor of their own. Because of their sin, we needed a savior. And Jesus — unlike Adam and Eve — lived his entire life in obedience to his Heavenly Father.
In his suffering and death on the cross, Jesus showed his total obedience to God the Father, thereby making up for our sins and gaining for us the gift of grace. Through his suffering and death we have been freed from slavery to sin and death, and by his resurrection we have been given the gift of eternal life. Jesus needed to die for us in order to restore humanity, so that we can be as God intended us to be. We still need to choose life over death by choosing the things of God over the things of this world, but through Jesus' passion, death and resurrection, we have been given the grace to be able to do so.
Bryan Lowe, Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, Anniston
Sin perverted the living expression of God on earth
The Bible declares that God is love (1 John 4:8). God loved humans so much that he gave his only begotten Son, the eternal Word of God, who came to earth in the body of a man named Jesus. Jesus came to seek and to save "that" which was lost, and that which was lost was the very image and likeness of God, or love, that he used to create man. It's hard for us to really understand why Jesus had to die because the world that we live in has been confused since man sinned and rebelled against God. The human family was created to be a living expression of God's love, power and authority on the earth, but all of these were perverted by sin. Men and women are at odds with one another because of sin. The man seeks to rule over the woman, and the woman is not having any part of it. Jesus must die to redeem God's order: God is the head of everything, man is the head of woman, Christ is the head of man and God is the head of Christ.
Man was created to glorify God. God warned man that if he ate from the forbidden tree he would die (spiritually). Spiritual death is separation from God. God cannot lie, so his word cannot be reversed. Because of Adam's sin, all men are born in sin. God must fulfill the promises he made to man when he created him, so now God must provide the sacrifice to redeem man from sin. God's delegated representative in the earth has sinned, so God has to now come into the earth through a human or earthen vessel, but the vessel must not be born through Adam. The Virgin Mary supernaturally conceives the seed of God, Jesus Christ, who declares, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32). Jesus needs to die because only his death will make God happy — "It pleased the Father to bruise him" (Isaiah 53:10).

Neighborhoods: Bouldin
Closed – Unfortunately this restaurant is no longer open. Too bad it was good.
A kitsch family friendly chain on Barton Springs known for American staples with Irish names. – In Short
An elaborate, prominently placed bar is the focal point, accented by stained-glass windows, polished wood and tile floors.

When replacing your pool pump motor you should always replace the shaft seal as well. The shaft seal is a 2 part piece made of rubber, metal and ceramic and keeps water from entering the pump motor. It is located near the impeller at the end of the motor shaft. Shaft seals vary between pumps so be sure to order the appropriate shaft seal for your pump.

Ingalls Peak/S Ridge
06/20/14 (Fri)
Seattle Climbing
Ken Hahn
**REMINDER** This climb is subject to the PRIORITY CLIMBS LIST. Please verify that your branch has priority for this climb.
From just below the notch, traverse along the right side of the Dogtooth Crags, climbing broken rock and slabs to a broad bench just below the large red slab. (Alternative: Follow a slab-ramp along the left side of the Dogtooth Crags, go around a corner, and climb a knife-edge ridge). Climb the obvious crack for a full rope length lead to a belay at a fixed piton on the slab. A short lead up and left leads to the belay cove under the dark horns. Another short pitch goes up and right from the right side of the cove to a notch in the left skyline. Scramble to the summit. Variation for the SW face: Begin 100' down the W side from the notch, ascend the friction slab to a belay on a ledge with fixed pitons. Move left, then up a class 3 gully for one fairly long lead to a tree. Scramble right, then climb a gully to the belay cove under the dark horns on the S. Ridge. Complete as per normal route. The hike in may be hot, but not especially strenuous. Climbing is on generally good rock with moderate exposure. Rope leaders should have class 5 leading experience, as the red slab requires protection and has several tricky moves in the 5.2 - 5.3 range with a 5.6 variation, if desired. This climb is typically done as a one-day climb with a 6 -7 a.m. start. It may not be possible to drive all the way to the trailhead until late June.
For members of Hahn SIG only.

Guṇa (Sanskrit: गुण) means 'string' or 'a single thread or strand of a cord or twine'. In more abstract uses, it may mean 'a subdivision, species, kind, quality', or an operational principle or tendency.[1]
In Samkhya philosophy, there are three major guṇas that serve as the fundamental operating principles or 'tendencies' of prakṛti (universal nature) which are called: sattva guṇa, rajas guṇa, and tamas guṇa. The three primary gunas are generally accepted to be associated with creation (sattva), preservation (rajas), and destruction/transformation (tamas) (see also Aum and Trimurti).[2] The entire creation and its process of evolution is carried out by these three major gunas.[1][3][4]
Classical elements[edit]
The term guṇa in Classical Sanskrit literature in general (e.g. Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, etc.) is the term for the five elements (mahabhutas), as well as the five senses, and five associated body parts:
- Akasha (space), associated with the guṇa śábda ("sound") and with the ear.
- Vayu (air), associated with the guṇa sparśa ("feeling") and with the skin.
- Tejas or Agni (fire), associated with the guṇa rūpa ("appearance", and thus color and tangibility) and with the eye.
- Apas or Jalam (water), associated with the guṇa rasa ("taste", and thus also flavor and tangibility, as well as shape) and with the tongue.
- Prithivi (earth), associated with all the preceding guṇas as well as the guṇa gandha ("smell") and with the nose.
Bhagavad Gita[edit]
The Triguna appear prominently in the discourse of Krishna to Arjuna upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra that is the backdrop for the Bhagavad Gita. All three gunas are held to delude the World:
- त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत्।
- मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्॥ ७.१३॥
- tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṁ jagat |
- mohitaṁ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam || 7.13||
- The World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me:
- Who is beyond these Gunas and imperishable. (7.13)
In Samkhya philosophy[edit]
In Samkhya philosophy, a guṇa is one of three "tendencies": tamas, sattva, and rajas. These categories have become a common means of categorizing behavior and natural phenomena in Hindu philosophy, and also in Ayurvedic medicine, as a system to assess conditions and diets. For this reason Triguna and tridosha are considered to be related in the traditions of Ayurveda. Guṇa is the tendency, not action itself. For instance, sattva guṇa is the tendency towards purity but is not purity itself. Similarly rajas guṇa is that force which tends to create action but is not action itself. Each of the three gunas is ever present simultaneously in every particle of creation but the variations in equilibrium manifest all the variety in creation including matter, mind, body and spirit.[1][4]
All creation is made up by a balance composed of all three forces. For creation to progress, each new stage "needs a force to maintain it and another force to develop it into a new stage. The force that develops the process in a new stage is rajo guna, while tamo guna is that which checks or retards the process in order to maintain the state already produced, so that it may form the basis for the next stage".
- Sattva (originally "being, existence, entity") has been translated to mean balance, order, or purity. Indologist Georg Feuerstein translates sattva as "lucidity".[5]
- Rajas (originally "atmosphere, air, firmament") is also translated to mean change, movement or dynamism.[2][6] (Rajas is etymologically unrelated to the word raja.)
- Tamas (originally "darkness", "obscurity") has been translated to mean "too inactive" or "inertia", negative, lethargic, dull, or slow.[6] Usually it is associated with darkness, delusion, or ignorance.[7] A tamas quality also can refer to anything destructive or entropic. In his Translation and Commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi explains "The nature of tamo guna is to check or retard, though it should not be thought that if the movement is upward tamo guna is absent".[3]
In Nyaya philosophy[edit]
In Nyaya philosophy, 24 guṇas are enumerated as properties or characteristics of all created things, including śábda, sparśa, rūpa, rasa, and gandha.
- rūpa: appearance (shape and color).
- rasa: taste.
- gandha: smell.
- sparśa: feeling (touch).
- sāṃkhya: amount.
- parimāṇa: dimension.
- pṛthaktva: distinctness.
- saṃyoga: conjunction.
- vibhāga: disjunction.
- paratva: remoteness.
- aparatva: proximity.
- gurutva: gravity.
- dravatva: fluidity.
- sneha: viscidity.
- śábda: sound.
- buddhi/jñāna: enlightenment/knowing.
- sukha: pleasure.
- duḥkha: pain.
- icchā: desire.
- dveṣa: aversion.
- prayatna: effort.
- dharma: merit or virtue.
- adharma: demerit.
- saṃskāra: the self-reproductive quality;
In grammar[edit]
In the Sanskrit grammatical tradition (Vyakarana), guṇa is a technical term corresponding to what is now termed the full grade in Indo-European ablaut. That is, it refers to a set of normal-length vowels that are less reduced than the basic set (in modern terms, the zero grade), but more reduced than the vṛddhi vowels (in modern terms, the lengthened grade). As an example, ṛ, i, u are basic (zero-grade) vowels, with corresponding guṇa (full-grade) vowels ar, e, o and vṛddhi (lengthened-grade) vowels ār, ai, au. (This is more understandable once it is realized that, at an earlier stage of development, Sanskrit e and o were ai and au, and Sanskrit ai and au were āi and āu.) This classification was developed by Pāṇini in his Ashtadhyayi.[8]
In medicine[edit]
In the terminology of Ayurveda (traditional medicine), guṇa can refer to one of twenty fundamental properties which any substance can exhibit, arranged in ten pairs of antonyms, viz. heavy/light, cold/hot, unctuous/dry, dull/sharp, stable/mobile, soft/hard, non-slimy/slimy, smooth/coarse, minute/gross, viscous/liquid.[9]
Guna is also a district of Madhya Pradesh, India

A Japanese study shows that elevated after-meal plasma fructose levels are linked to proliferative retinopathy in type 2 diabetics.
After-meal plasma fructose concentrations and after-meal plasma glucose concentrations were simultaneously measured in 38 type 2s. The average after-meal plasma fructose concentrations (MPPF) were calculated. Blood fructose levels were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Patients were divided into the high, middle and low MPPF groups. The prevalence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) among the patients was significantly higher in the high-MPPF group than in the middle- and low-MPPF groups.
No significant differences in blood glucose indicators and average duration of diabetes were observed among the three MPPF groups.

Like a lot of faith communities, the Table takes time in October and November to refresh ourselves on the meaning of stewardship.
And it can be a really hard concept to grasp, especially if you've only ever learned about it in the context of giving money to support a ministry or organization.
But stewardship is more!
The psalmist in Psalm 65 (v. 9-11) speaks of God's care for the earth.
You visit the earth
and make it abundant,
enriching it greatly
by God's stream, full of water.
You provide people with grain
because that is what you've decided.
Drenching the earth's furrows,
leveling its ridges,
you soften it with rain showers;
you bless its growth.
You crown the year
with your goodness;
your paths overflow with rich food.
At the heart of stewardship is ownership – what do we really own? Our consumeristic society teaches us that we work hard and earn something for it. We then trade or buy for things that we need to live and enjoy life. However, all of those things that we use at their most basic level were not created by us. The oil that we pull from the earth to power our plants and cars was not created by us. The wood and stone and dirt that we build our homes, livelihoods, and gardens from were not created out of thin air. Even the oxygen we breathe is a gift that comes to us out of creation itself.
And so at some level, all that we receive in our lives – every bite of food, every paycheck, every breath – depends on someone or something else moving on our behalf.
This is the underlying concept of stewardship – it's recognizing that all we have in our lives, whether it is a lot or very little, is a gift. And if it is a gift, then how can we not share it freely with others since we ourselves received it so freely? Stewardship recognizes that we are not really owners in as much as we are caretakers of these resources. We might use them for a time but then insure that others in need and future generations will enjoy these gifts as well.
And so this season of stewardship is less about how much money you might give – it's more about how we as a community respond to the ways God has blessed us and how we shall share those blessings with others.
Later this week, I'll tackle a couple of other questions, like how much we give and how our giving can reshape the world.
