I had a full face phenol-croton oil peel done 25 years ago for acne scars by a now-retired NYC derm who specialized in this peel and did a wonderful job. His son took over the practice years ago and I went to him to have my eyes, esp the upper eyelids done. I got red and had some minimal blistering but no peel- this is definitely not what I paid for. I am a physician, have attended lectures on this peel,had it before, this is a very poor result.

Well. I am a little bashful to toot my own horn but I have been doing lots and lots of these peels since the publication of the Hetter heresy formulas in year 2000. See my web site for more information about Hetter resurfacing and let me know if I can be of help.

Ratings for Dr. Tom Smith Windsor
Not very knowledgeable. Too busy helping students to put his patients firsts.
Very nice doctor! But not knowledgeable at all!! Makes you wonder how he got his medical certificate....Always has to refer you, and has no idea how to read an ECG. Told me I had AFIB and then I referred myself to a cardiologist and he said no I don't not have AFIB....hmmmm
Great Doc who teaches all the new ones! He is the Assistant Dean of Rural Family Medicine!
Nice doctor But not having much knowledge. Never sure of anything always refer to specialist for little things .
When I was pregnant I was refered to Dr. Smith-Windsor from my usual family Doctor was would soon be retiring. I found him to be very laid back-- almost to a fault. I wasn't too sure what to think of him. I kept going, and I lost my first at 12 weeks. I found that he didn't really seem to answer my questions, and wasn't very compassionate. However when I was pregnant again, I returned to him and found his care quite adequate. I used to be upset that he was ALWAYS late, until I ended up in the hospital for 24 hours of labour. He was in and out the entire time. I now understoond that his devotion to his patients that were in greater need. I don't know when this man sleeps.... Others can complain about him, but try his shoes and see how you do.
Overall, he's very good. Remember that he is a GP and not a specialist, so there are things he does not know a lot about. He will admit it when he does not know something and will give referrals to specialists. Excellent manner and is friendly, compassionate, and helpful. Some of the students he helps train may need more monitoring; had a bad experience with one. We go to see Tom and not someone just learning the business. Overall, he's excellent, and I'm thankful to have him as a doctor.
Dr. Tom is such a wonderful doctor! I saw him when we lived in Prince Albert and I wish he would move to Regina so he could still be my family doctor. He is very caring and respectful and always does his best to help.
I have seen this doctor for many years, and have always been treated very respectfully. He takes the time to really listen and does not rush through the appointment. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait to get in, but that comes with the territory when a doctor takes the time needed to talk with patients and not rush them out the door.I have never seen any of the moodiness that the other posters have mentioned. On occasion I have had the medical students and Dr. S-W always comes in after with the student to review everything that was discussed. I am very satisfied with the service I have received and I would reccomend Dr. S-W to anyone.
He is my 88 year old father's doctor and I find him to care very little. Questions are vaguely answered and it feels to me that because my dad is elderly our concerns are minimized. When asked about Altzheimer's he told my Dad to spell world backwards, then prescribed a medication that caused him to be almost psychotic and no follow up. Our last visit was about a swelling under my Dad's eye. He suggested eye drops and if that didn't work then a nasal spray and if that didn't work he was out of ideas and it would have to wait until a specialists appointment 5 months away! My Dad could be blind by then.
Dr Tom was my family doctor when I lived in Prince Albert. The first baby he delivered in PA was my 16 year old daughter, and he went on to deliver my other two children.I found him a warm, compassionate man, and a wonderful doctor. I only wish he would move to Saskatoon so we could have him back!

What is ADC?
Effective project execution services for the design industry.
Who is ADC?
Hi, I'm Ralph.
I am a registered Interior Designer who understands the profession of Interior Design. I have a strong passion for its success and understand the importance of effective leadership for both my work and for the support of the profession. I have dedicated my career to developing sound processes and I have worked diligently over the years to understand the business of Interior Design. I know what it takes to make a project successful.
My skills are in the execution of great design.
You remain free to design and you can leave some of the "hard stuff" to me. What's the hard stuff? Schedule, task, team and consultant coordination, preparing meeting minutes, doing drawing review & coordination, managing consultant invoicing, attending construction meetings, and managing the construction and contractor. The list does go on. You know, all that stuff that is as essential to your project's success as the design you envision. I excel in this role. I take enjoyment from executing great design and in ensuring my team is as successful as they can be.
I know my role.
I have an exceptional track record for project execution and understand my responsibility to a team. I take accountability and profitability seriously. Interior Design is a business and I have over two decades of experience in a leadership role directly responsible for teams of up to 25, their accountability to their clients and to their firm's success. After 28 years in the Interior Design industry I have amassed experience in a multitude of project execution roles stemming from a strong technical background.
My strong management expertise both on the project side and as a leadership professional can benefit your Interior Designers in honing some of the tangible skills we all need to make our projects more successful.
Your project is my priority.
How can you be assured that I have your best interests at heart? Like you, I am a consultant. As consultants, we earn our reputation one project at a time. I cannot afford to compromise your work. I understand that your interests need to be protected, your confidentiality needs to be protected and that your project is a priority. I take these three principles; your confidentiality, prioritizing your work and maintaining your best interests very seriously. I am part of your team as long as I am working with you on your valued project.
Ask a ton of questions:
At AdviseDesignConsult we believe asking great questions is the catalyst to exceptional solutions. Consider the following as opportunities to build on your ability to deliver great service and improve your market share.
- Have you ever had a project you have won or wanted to pursue but you didn't have the right expertise available?
- Have you ever needed the expertise on a challenging or complex project that you couldn't fill?
- Have you ever needed a project lead that understands the importance design plays in the construction of your work?
- Do you have a challenging project that could use a 3rd pair of eyes for review and coordination?
- Do you have a multiple project contract that could use a single point of control?
- Do your project delivery tools (work plans, schedules, forms, contracts, specifications, constructability standards) need sharpening?
- Could your project delivery processes benefit from a professional management overview?

Campaign of the Month: August 2011
Le Ballet de l'Acier
Taverne Trencavel
Located in the Upper City, Trencavel's Tavern enjoys the least savory reputation of all such establishments in Marseille. The tavern is large but dimly lit and dirty, the packed earth floors strewn with refuse, and thronged day and night by cutthroats, thieves, smugglers and pirates.
It's well-known that the city guards avoid Trencavel's.
The sign hanging above the tavern door features a skull-and-crossbones; the skull wears a golden crown.

Ron Paul in Phoenix
Last night I attended a small event where Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) spoke about his candidacy for president as a Republican. I found it a bit of a disappointment. On the plus side, he is making opposition to both the drug war and the war in Iraq a major part of his campaign. He also opposes warrantless wiretapping, the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Military Commissions Act. And in response to a question from one of several atheists present, he indicated his support for the separation of church and state (and opposition to Bush's faith-based initiatives). On the minus side, his stance on illegal immigration is to "secure the border," deny benefits to illegal immigrants, and eliminate birthright citizenship. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's stance on illegal immigration (double Border Patrol officers, implement a guest worker program, and provide a mechanism for illegal immigrants to pay a fine and become legal residents) makes a whole lot more sense than that. Also on the minus side, as Sameer Parekh has pointed out at his blog, his stance on free trade is to oppose anything that he sees as a compromise on free trade (like major free trade agreements), which makes him look like he's pandering to protectionists--his web page makes no indication that he support free trade, which strikes me as dishonest.
Nutjob Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson was there, and she asked a question about Bush's "stealth campaign" to establish a North American Union; Paul responded that he opposes creation of such an entity and a common currency for such an economic area (the "amero"). This is going into WorldNetDaily and Alex Jones conspiracy theorist territory, conflating the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (a meeting between the three heads of state to increase economic cooperation) with the ideas of Robert Pastor, a professor at American University, about creating a political union. If the EU can't approve a Constitution (with France and the Netherlands rejecting it) and still has holdouts on the euro (Britain and Norway), how likely is it that countries as different as the U.S., Mexico, and Canada would combine into a single political entity?
I'm glad Ron Paul has provided a consistent voice in Congress against the war in Iraq and erosion of our civil liberties in the name of the global war on terror, but I'm afraid he probably wouldn't make a very good president (though I did make a small contribution to his campaign which I'm feeling some buyer's remorse for this morning). My preference is to see a Democratic president and split control of Congress--gridlock seems to be the most effective way of achieving economic growth and slowing the erosion of our civil liberties.
UPDATE (April 12, 2007): The argument that Paul makes about illegal immigration--that we should stop it because of the impact on welfare--is aptly turned on its head in this post from last year at David Friedman's blog.
UPDATE (February 11, 2008): Here's a debunking of a number of Ron Paul claims, including the NAFTA superhighway.

Danville Elementary School Closed After Electrical Problem
Danville, VA - A Danville school will be closed Tuesday after an electrical problem.
School officials tell us that they detected a problem at Taylor Elementary School before the school opened on Tuesday morning that created a disruption in electrical service. As a safety precaution, the school was evacuated.
Officials decided to close the school for the day, and all of the students are being sent home on buses.
Students who need to be picked up by their parents will be kept at Glenwood Elementary School, and taken home at the normal time if necessary.

Bitter And Sweet
Poisonous to us but popular with birds, Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) stands out in the landscape now that the leaves are off the trees.
This closeup of the berries shows why we like to use it in floral arrangements. Very beautiful.
But it's aggressive. Imported in 1879 it grows more easily than American bittersweet (Celastrus scandens) with which it hybridizes. It occurs in nearly every state east of the Mississippi and is listed as invasive from Maine to North Carolina, from Wisconsin to Tennessee.
Watch for small flocks of birds feeding in the woods and you'll find this vine. Click here to see what it looks like from a distance.
Bitter and sweet: an unruly competitor that's food for birds.

2012-2013 Influenza Season Week 47 ending November 24, 2012
All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.
During week 47 (November 18-24, 2012), influenza activity increased in the U.S.
- Viral Surveillance: Of 5,342 specimens tested and reported by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories during week 47, 812 (15.2%) were positive for influenza.
- Novel Influenza A Virus: One human infection with a novel influenza A virus was reported.
- Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was below the epidemic threshold.
- Influenza-associated Pediatric Deaths: No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported.
- Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 2.2%, which is at the national baseline of 2.2%. Five regions reported ILI above region-specific baseline levels. Five states experienced high ILI activity, two states experienced moderate ILI activity; 4 states experienced low ILI activity; New York City and 39 states experienced minimal ILI activity, and the District of Columbia had insufficient data.
- Geographic Spread of Influenza: The geographic spread of influenza in 4 states was reported as widespread; 7 states reported regional activity; 19 states reported local activity; the District of Columbia and 18 states reported sporadic activity; Guam and 1 state reported no influenza activity, and Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 1 state did not report.

- Positive specimens by type/subtype
View National and Regional Level Graphs and Data
Novel Influenza A Virus:
One infection with an influenza A (H3N2) variant virus (H3N2v) was reported to CDC during week 47 from Iowa. While no contact with swine or other livestock in the week preceding illness was reported, investigation into potential additional sources of infection is ongoing. No further cases have been identified in contacts of the case patient. This is the first H3N2v infection reported since September 28, 2012.
A total of 311 infections with variant influenza viruses (307 H3N2v viruses, 3 H1N2v viruses, and 1 H1N1v virus) have been reported from 11 states from July 2012 through November 28, 2012. More information about H3N2v infections can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swineflu/h3n2v-outbreak.htm. The vast majority of variant virus infections have occurred after exposure to swine, though instances of likely human-to-human transmission have been identified. No ongoing human-to-human transmission has been identified. Additional information about influenza in swine, variant influenza infection in humans, and precautionary measures recommended during interactions with swine can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swineflu/index.htm.
Antigenic Characterization:
CDC has antigenically characterized 140 influenza viruses [Two 2009 H1N1 viruses, 90 influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and 48 influenza B viruses] collected by U.S. laboratories since October 1, 2012.
- Both 2009 H1N1 viruses tested were characterized as A/California/7/2009-like, the influenza A (H1N1) component of the 2012-2013 influenza vaccine for the Northern Hemisphere.
Influenza A (H3N2) [90]:
- All 90 H3N2 influenza viruses tested so far have been characterized as A/Victoria/361/2011-like, the influenza A (H3N2) component of the 2012-2013 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine.
Influenza B (B/Yamagata/16/88 and B/Victoria/02/87 lineages) [48]:
- Yamagata Lineage [34]: Thirty-four (70.8%) of the 48 influenza B viruses tested so far this season have been characterized as B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like, the influenza B component of the 2012-2013 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine.
- Victoria Lineage [14]: Fourteen (29.2%) of 48 influenza B viruses tested have been from the B/Victoria lineage of viruses
Antiviral Resistance:
Testing of 2009 influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2), and influenza B virus isolates for resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir) is performed at CDC using a functional assay. Additional 2009 influenza A (H1N1) clinical samples are tested for a single mutation in the neuraminidase of the virus known to confer oseltamivir resistance (H275Y). The data summarized below combine the results of both testing methods. These samples are routinely obtained for surveillance purposes rather than for diagnostic testing of patients suspected to be infected with antiviral resistant virus.
High levels of resistance to the adamantanes (amantadine and rimantadine) persist among 2009 influenza A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) viruses (the adamantanes are not effective against influenza B viruses). As a result of the sustained high levels of resistance, data from adamantane resistance testing are not presented in the table below.
Neuraminidase Inhibitor Resistance Testing Results on Samples Collected Since October 1, 2012
[Oseltamivir: Virus Samples tested (n) - Resistant Viruses, Number (%) – Zanamivir: Virus Samples tested (n) - Resistant Viruses, Number (%)]
- Influenza A (H3N2) – 122 - 0 (0.0) – 122 - 0 (0.0)
- Influenza B – 81 - 0 (0.0) – 81 - 0 (0.0)
The majority of currently circulating influenza viruses are susceptible to the neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral medications oseltamivir and zanamivir; however, rare sporadic cases of oseltamivir resistant 2009 influenza A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) viruses have been detected worldwide. Antiviral treatment with oseltamivir or zanamivir is recommended as early as possible for patients with confirmed or suspected influenza who have severe, complicated, or progressive illness; who require hospitalization; or who are at greater risk for serious influenza-related complications. Additional information on recommendations for treatment and chemoprophylaxis of influenza virus infection with antiviral agents is available at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/antivirals/index.htm.
Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance:
During week 47, 6.3% of all deaths reported through the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System were due to P&I. This percentage was below the epidemic threshold of 6.7% for week 47.
Influenza-Associated Pediatric Mortality:
No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 47. Two influenza-associated deaths have been reported during the 2012-2013 season. Additional data can be found at: http://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/PedFluDeath.html.
Influenza-Associated Hospitalizations:
The Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) conducts all age population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed influenza-related hospitalizations in select counties in the Emerging Infections Program (EIP) states and Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Project (IHSP) states. FluSurv-NET estimated hospitalization rates will be updated weekly starting later this season. Additional FluSurv-NET data can be found at: http://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/FluHospRates.html.
Outpatient Illness Surveillance:
Nationwide during week 47, 2.2% of patient visits reported through the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet) were due to influenza-like illness (ILI). This percentage is at the national baseline of 2.2%. (ILI is defined as fever (temperature of 100°F [37.8°C] or greater) and cough and/or sore throat.) Region specific data is available at http://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html.
View National and Regional Level Graphs and Data
On a regional level, the percentage of outpatient visits for ILI ranged from 0.9% to 4.2% during week 47. Five regions (Regions 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7) reported a proportion of outpatient visits for ILI above their region-specific baseline levels.
ILINet Activity Indicator Map:
Data collected in ILINet are used to produce a measure of ILI activity* by state. Activity levels are based on the percent of outpatient visits in a state due to ILI and are compared to the average percent of ILI visits that occur during spring and fall weeks with little or no influenza virus circulation. Activity levels range from minimal, which would correspond to ILI activity from outpatient clinics being below the average, to intense, which would correspond to ILI activity from outpatient clinics being much higher than average.
During week 47, the following ILI activity levels were experienced:
- Five states experienced high ILI activity (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas).
- Two states experienced moderate ILI activity (Georgia and Missouri).
- Four states experienced low ILI activity (Hawaii, Ohio, Utah, and Virginia).
- New York City and 39 states experienced minimal ILI activity (Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming).
- Data were insufficient to calculate an ILI activity level from the District of Columbia.
Geographic Spread of Influenza as Assessed by State and Territorial Epidemiologists:
The influenza activity reported by state and territorial epidemiologists indicates geographic spread of influenza viruses, but does not measure the severity of influenza activity.
During week 47, the following influenza activity was reported:
- Widespread influenza activity was reported by 4 states (Alaska, Mississippi, New York, and South Carolina).
- Regional influenza activity was reported by 7 states (Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Ohio).
- Local influenza activity was reported by 19 states (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming).
- Sporadic influenza activity was reported by the District of Columbia, and 18 states (Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia).
- No influenza activity was reported by Guam and 1 state (Vermont).
- Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 1 state (Delaware) did not report.

The 2008 Milwaukee Brewers open their spring training camp this weekend facing a number of obstacles in their quest for the postseason. I previously identified what I thought who were the top five individual players that would make a difference in whether or not the Brewers make the playoffs or not…more importantly, here are the areas where the team or groups of players need to improve:
5. Re-tooled bullpen needs to be better than the '07 'pen–Ned Yost & Co. will likely start the season with at least 7 relief pitchers in the bullpen…and 5 of them were not in the Brewers' bullpen at the start of the 2007 campaign. Joining returning relievers Derrick Turnbow and Brian Shouse are Eric Gagne, Salomon Torres, and David Riske, along with one or two converted starters from Dave Bush, Chris Capuano, and Claudio Vargas…and even Seth McClung has a shot.
The bullpen took a lot of heat for the Brewers' 2007 collapse, so GM Doug Melvin re-tooled it, hoping for better results…and also putting bullpen coach Bill Castro on the hot seat. Castro needs to quickly determine who has what, and when best to use it. Last year, the Brewers' relief pitchers were 23-32, with a 4.15 ERA, good for 21st in the majors (and 12th in the NL)…but 3 of 4 NL playoff teams were better: the Cubs finished 7th with a 3.76 ERA; the Rockies 12th at 3.85, and Arizona was 13th at 3.95. While having a good bullpen is no guarantee of making the playoffs (the Padres were best in the majors with a 3.01 ERA last year), allowing fewer earned runs will always lead to more wins. Just for giggles, I checked to see if the Brewers' pen might have been overworked–nope…they were in the middle of the pack, at 16th, in IP, with 511.33.
4. The defense needs to improve–The 2007 Brewers finished tied for 22nd in fielding percentage at .982, the same as the Royals, White Sox, and Nationals. They also finished tied for 6th in most errors committed with 109. The NL Champion Rockies were the best in the majors last year with just 68 errors, while the World Champion Boston Red Sox finished with the third fewest errors at 81. Division champion Chicago wound up with only 94 errors and a .984 fielding percentage. While errors in and of themselves don't always determine the outcome of a game, over a 162 game season, the more errors a team has the more likely they are going to cost them a game or two. Hopefully, the move of Ryan Braun to the outfield and Bill Hall back to the infield, combined with the addition of Mike Cameron and Jason Kendall will decrease the number of errors for the '08 Brewers.
3. The '08 Brewers will need to find a way to hit RHP…especially late in the game–The 2007 Brewers finished 25th in the majors in BA versus RHP at .252, and tied for 26th in OBP at .316. With the right-handed hitting Mike Cameron replacing the left-handed hitting Geoff Jenkins in the line-up, the True Blue Brew Crew is likely to only have one left-handed hitter, Prince Fielder, in the everyday line-up. With a line-up of right-handed batters, Brewers' hitters will need to find a way to get on base when facing a righty; and, as most relievers in the NL are righties, lefty hitters Craig Counsell, Gabe Gross, and Tony Gwynn, Jr. will see lots of time late in games to help improve in this area.
2. The '08 Brewers need to do better when they have runners in scoring position—
The Brewers hit just .261 with RISP in 2007, tied for 24th in the majors, and well behind the Cubs and Dodgers (tied for 8th with .278), the Mets (11th with .277) and Rockies (tied for 12th at .276). In fact, all 5 NL Central foes did better–the Cardinals hit .274, the Pirates batted .272, the Astros hit .267, and the Reds hit .263. The Crew finished 20th overall in runs scored with RISP at 559–a bit behind the Cubs' 580 runs (note: these stats from ESPN.com may be a bit off, as I noticed that they are showing that the Brewers only played 159 games in 2007…so either that figure is off, or ESPN is missing a few games worth of data).
1. The #2-#5 starters need to have more quality starts–Last year's #2-#5 starters–Jeff Suppan, Chris Capuano, Claudio Vargas, and Dave Bush went 37-36, with a 4.98 ERA, and averaged just 5.7 IP per start. While 3 of the 4 starters had K/9's above 6.5 (only Suppan did not), 3 of the 4 had WHIP's of 1.50 or higher (only Bush did not, but his was still a 1.40). Making Yovani Gallardo a permanent member of the rotation could help, but only time will tell how Gallardo will fare over the course of a full season (Gallardo made 17 starts in '07, going 9-4 with a 3.74 ERA filling in for Sheets). Carlos Villanueva will very likely join the rotation as the #4 starter, resulting in the need for Suppan to step up, as well as one other pitcher, to improve the back end of the rotation's performance.
Well, these are the areas that I think Ned Yost and the staff need to focus on. Please let me know what you think.
The 2008 Milwaukee Brewers open their spring training camp this weekend facing a number of obstacles in their quest for the postseason. I previously identified what I thought who were the top five individual players that would make a difference in whether or not the Brewers make the playoffs or not…more importantly, here are the areas where the team or groups of players need to improve:

most at the head of the list and are rapidly increasing
in capacity.

confidence of the people. The Crete Nurseries occupy 580
acres. The city also has a good creamery. Among other
noticeable recent improvements there is a $25,000 High

the Congregational church and was established in 1872.
The course of studies is of the most thorough character.

The college possesses a very fine observatory, fitted up
with all necessary equipment, including an excellent
The campus containing 100 acres, beautifully
laid out, and presents a most attractive appearance. The

If it was, as many suspect, Curtis Lazar's last season before becoming a full-fledged Ottawa Senator, he certainly wrung every ounce out of the thing.
The 41 goals in 58 games with the Edmonton Oil Kings, during which the versatile forward improved on an already stellar reputation as a dependable defensive player while leading the team in how the game is to be played at both ends of the ice.
In the middle of that was his participation in the world junior hockey championships, where Lazar was one of Team Canada's best players throughout the tournament and during a semi-final loss to Finland.
And then, of course, the cherry on top: Sunday's 6-3 win over the Guelph Storm that gave the Oil Kings their first Memorial Cup in almost 50 years.
That crowning achievement would not have been made possible if not for Lazar's triple overtime tally in Friday's semi-final victory over Val d-Or Foreurs.
"Hoisting that Memorial Cup was 10 times better than that goal," Lazar, sounding remarkably spry during a phone conversation with the Sun only a few hours after the party had ended, said when asked about his personal highlight. "You played so hard, and no one expected us to get where we were, not many people expected us to get out of the second round of our playoffs. And look at us now. We just proved every doubter wrong. The unity we have in our dressing room, the character and adversity we faced, it's incredible. It truly is a season to remember."
And one of great development for Lazar. Along with his regular shift he killed penalties and was on the power play, finishing the campaign as Edmonton's second leading point collector (with 76) despite missing 14 games while at the Senators camp.
In the Memorial Cup semi-final, he was most relieved to net the winner because he felt he "owed" his teammates for failing to get to the lane to block a shot in the third period. In the clincher, he was kept on the ice for the final 2 1/2 minutes because the coach couldn't trust any one more.
Tournament officials used an "advanced stats" trackers to determine he skated more than 6 km in 60 minutes games.
"It's a pretty cool stat," said Lazar.
Almost reluctantly, it seemed, the Senators first pick (17th overall) in the 2013 entry draft also admitted the past eight months have been a grind.
"But if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat," Lazar quickly added. "I love the game, I love competing for my team. It was a lot of hockey, but to win a second WHL championship in three years and then to top it off with the Memorial Cup, there's no better way to play the junior hockey season.
"In saying that, I'm quite happy to have some time off now and just let my body reset itself, then get ready to get after it in Ottawa, hopefully."
The Senators believe Lazar is the best character player they've drafted in at least the last seven years. GM Bryan Murray says he is "NHL ready." If it's somehow decided otherwise at September's camp, Lazar will have to go back to the WHL for another year.
The 6-foot, 196-pounder himself figures he's prepared to make the jump to the big league, saying he is become stronger and more confident with his D-zone play, as well as the extra gear he has to hit the seams up ice.
"At this point I do," said Lazar. "I'm so confident in my play, and this year has been such a good year, developmental wise. Playing in the world juniors, playing in the Memorial Cup, the playoffs. It's really prepared me. I got a lot of ice time in key situations this year and I felt I flourished in it.
"I feel I'm ready for that next step, but then again, I've got to talk to the Senators. I want to talk to Bryan Murray, I want to talk to (assistant GMs) Randy Lee and Pierre Dorion, and sort of get a feel for what they want from me this summer, and then just go into camp with an open mind.
"It's sort of an odd situation for me," he added. "I want to be in Ottawa next year, but then again if things don't work out I'll be back in Edmonton. I'm going to work hard so I can be up with the big club, but who knows. It could have been my last junior game ... but I just wanted to check off as much stuff as I could this year, to prove to people with my junior resume that I'm ready to take that next step."
Some will say there is no sense rushing Lazar, pointing to higher picks of lesser teams that have benefitted from playing junior at 19, which he turned on Feb. 2. They will say that it makes more sense for him to be the best player in Edmonton, or wherever the Oil Kings might trade him for a shot at another Memorial Cup, than seeing spot duty in Ottawa.
Others think he could quickly earn a Top 6 forward role as a rookie with the Senators next season. At this point, the latter group appears to be larger than the former.
"I watched (Ottawa) a little bit," said Lazar. "It was pretty tough for me to watch all the press and stuff out west, but I know what happened. Some people I think are quite disappointed with the team, but it's a new year. That's the best part of the game. Every season goes back to zeroes across the board and you get after it. Just from what I've seen in training camp last year, they've got the right guys to do it, the right personnel. Just a few missing pieces here and there, to solve the puzzle. Hopefully I can be one of those guys."
Don't bet against it.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. and WASHINGTON — When given a choice, American consumers prefer to purchase organic foods, according to the Thomson Reuters-NPR Health Poll. The survey found that 58% of Americans say they choose organic over conventionally produced foods when they have the opportunity, a number that spikes higher among both young and highly educated respondents. Sixty-three percent of respondents under the age of 35 prefer organic foods, as do 64% of those with a bachelor's degree or more.
Among those who prefer organic foods, 36% said they do so to support local farmer's markets and 34% said they wanted to avoid exposure to toxins in non-organic foods.
"This month's poll gives us some insight into what is going through consumers' minds when they're making the choice of what they will feed themselves and their families," said Scott Hensley, NPR health correspondent and blogger. "We find it especially intriguing that a very small percentage of respondents are choosing organic foods based on taste. This makes organic vs. conventional a really unique case where food decisions are being made consciously by consumers."

First I'd like to say thank you for all of your information on vaccines & attachment parenting!
Your website has helped me so much along this journey of motherhood.
My question is about circumcision. (please no debates on here) when I had my son circumcised I unfortunatly did it without questioning the Dr. & thought it was best for him for hygiene. Well, around 1 month we noticed that his penis head would go missing. It looks like he wasn't circumcised at all. We are able to pull the skin back at each diaper change & clean it. My question is...will this ever correct itself on it's own. He is now 7 months old & his penis still "hides" in the fat pad/skin. If that makes sense. His pedi said thisis common & normal & will correct itself. But when?
I'd appreciate any advice you have & truly am hoping that this will correct itself on it's own. Have you experienced this in your practice?
Thank you!!
Yes this is totally normal. We call it the disappearing penis. All the baby fat that collects above and around the penis sucks the penis into the body and hides it. You need to be diligent in pulling the skin back once a day as long as he's in diapers so it doesn't get stuck. The penis will stick out normally once he thins out (3 or 4 years?) and it will end up looking circumcized. I'd say at least 25% of the patients that I circumcize end up having this too.
Wow. This is an extremely busy doctor with many, many demands on his time. He is doing everyone an amazing service by posting here. Take or leave his advice, but correcting his spelling in FORUM POST? That's simply rude.
ETA: I have a Ph.D. in English and am a terrible speller. I make spelling errors on this forum all the time and nobody has ever been rude enough to correct my spelling.
Sandy (41), Mama to Oscar (Feb 2009) and Aria (April 2012), infertility and miscarriage survivor 11/25/10 and 6/22/11.
Yeah, I was pretty horrified when I read that. Poor babies who don't get to choose what their bodies/sex lives will be like.
I came here to ask a question, but now I'm too upset to do that.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
Is it really proper to retract a circed boy to avoid adhesions? I thought it was best to treat a circed penis as an intact one...let the skin do what it will and eventually it will be fully retractable...or is it a different ballgame once the penis has been surgically mutilated?
Wow. This is an extremely busy doctor with many, many demands on his time. He is doing everyone an amazing service by posting here. Take or leave his advice, but correcting his spelling in FORUM POST? That's simply rude.
ETA: I have a Ph.D. in English and am a terrible speller. I make spelling errors on this forum all the time and nobody has ever been rude enough to correct my spelling.
You're not getting it. I wouldn't correct the doctor on the spelling of any other word. But if he's going to surgically remove an important part of a person's body, unnecessarily, and without the person's consent, not even knowing the spelling of the procedure just makes it seem even more disrespectful. And if you read a lot about a certain subject, you learn the spelling eventually. I don't think he's read much on circumcision, or put a lot of thought into the implications of what he is doing.
I typically don't enter into debates on forums (or is it fora?). I like to give advice and answer questions, but don't have much time to go back and forth. But I will expand a little on this topic.
I am completely aware and sensitive to people's opinions on circumcision. I chose not to have my three boys circumcized. In fact, I looked at it as not even making a choice. They were born intact. God made them that way, and I saw no reason to change it. God's reasons for wanting His chosen Jewish people circumsized are His own. So, I'm very much in agreement with you that not circumcizing is the best way to go.
The next area of debate is whether or not circumcision is actually wrong. As a christian, I have to acknowledge that because God demanded it of His people, then there must be something inherently ok about it. However, I'm not a Bible scholar so to speak, so I haven't reviewed every scripture on it. But even so, I agree that it isn't necessarily ok to surgically alter infants without their consent. That's why I try to talk patients out of it. I tell parents reasons why they shouldn't do it, and I make it very very very clear that there is no benefit to doing it.
I spent years trying to decide whether or not to do circumcision on patients. I initially decided no. I referred them to the other doctors in the practice. But then the other docs stopped going to the hospitals to see babies and I was the only one. So, I'd have to refer any patients that wanted it to OTHER doctors, and I was seeing some not-very-well-done circumcisions, and some really bad ones. some doctors remove WAY too much foreskin. So, I decided to begin doing them for the select few of my patients who wanted it. I wasn't actually saving any kids from it by NOT doing it. I never even once had a patient say, "Gosh, since Dr. Bob doesn't even do it, maybe we shouldn't do it." I wanted to make sure it was done right, WITH ANESTHESIA. I also prefer to slightly under-circumsize, leaving as much of the foreskin on as I can.
So, that's my story. You don't have to like it. You don't have to like me. I'll be here one way or the other. BUT I do understand the issues and I mostly feel the same way you do.
Wow u guys are harsh! So quick to judge...I actually knew Dr Sears didnt circumcize his boys.I saw him talking about it on a video.So that got me to research more & lead me to not circ my son.Thank you for explaining your view point on this issue.
I think that is a great explanation as to why you offer circumcision. Thank you for taking the time to explain it so throughly. I have three boys, one of which is circ'd and I believe our doctor who did the circ also was conservative in it. Even at 6, he still has a bit of overage in that area. No adhesions or anything like that.

SCIENTIST AT WORK: ERIN PETTIT; Young Women Get Serious Over Science in a Laboratory of Ice
By MARGARET WERTHEIM
Published: March 8, 2005
At Blood Falls on the Taylor Glacier, iron oxides streak down the face of a pristine ice cliff as if the glacier were bleeding from a wound. No one knows why the oxides, which are believed to leach up from a subglacial lake, appear at just this spot, but the effect is stunning, a febrile flash of color in a landscape of ice and stone.
This is one of the few places on the Antarctic continent that is not covered in ice. Bare rock and dirt rule here. Utterly devoid of vegetation, this may as well be another planet.
Indeed, researchers for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration think the region offers clues to what Mars once looked like.
Most of the moisture here comes not from the sky but from the glaciers, which cascade over the tops of the mountains. But unlike their cousins that slip into the sea, the ends of these terrestrial glaciers end abruptly in cliffs, like giant meringues.
''Why is it that they don't spread out and fill the valleys?'' asks Dr. Erin Pettit, a glaciologist from the University of Washington. ''Temperate glaciers are like molasses or honey, they ooze. Polar glaciers are a lot more rigid,'' she said.
Dr. Pettit is trying to understand the specifics of this rigidity and how it affects the behavior of these glaciers.
For six weeks in November and December, she and a team camped beneath Blood Falls, sleeping in mountain tents and trekking up the Taylor Glacier each day to bore holes in the ice in which to place instruments to measure the strains and stresses in the frozen mass.
''All glaciers experience a kind of balance,'' Dr. Pettit said. ''But rarely are they perfectly in balance.'' The shapes of glaciers in the Dry Valleys region of Antarctica are formed by the interaction of the ice, the environment, the landscape and the chemicals in the ice itself. ''What I like to understand are the subtle differences in how each glacier behaves,'' she said. ''That's what really fascinates me.''
Dr. Pettit, her long hair braided into a mass of tiny plaits, is 33, but looks a good deal younger. In addition to her research, she has made glaciers into the centerpiece of an unusual educational program. Since 1999, she has been leading groups of high school girls on glaciology field trips in Washington, her home state.
During these demanding trips, the girls, ages 16 to 18, learn the scientific method, not only how to form a hypothesis but how to test it, as well as mountaineering and wilderness skills. ''I wanted to bring these two things together,'' Dr. Pettit said, ''the intellectual challenge of trying to do science in the field and the physical challenge of living outdoors.''
While many existing organizations offer excellent programs to teach young people outdoor competence and others offer training in science, Dr. Pettit knew of none that combined both activities and especially not for girls. Through her program, now called Girls on Ice, young women learn to feel at home in the wilderness and to observe nature through the lens of science.
Lauren Carter, a senior at Ferndale High School north of Seattle, took part in Girls on Ice when she was a freshman. ''I've always wanted to go to Antarctica and this was about the closest I could get,'' she said by phone. ''I had never known that ice could be so interesting.''
For Ms. Carter, who loves science and is planning to major in zoology at Washington State, having a woman as the course instructor was particularly important. ''It made you see that women could be scientists,'' she said.
For Kelsi Franzen, a senior at Coupeville High School and one of the 2002 Girls on Ice participants, the program opened the door to mountaineering. Although Ms. Franzen had plenty of experience hiking, she had never before tackled mountains. ''Now I climb volcanoes,'' she said. ''Girls on Ice was really the beginning of that.''
Dr. Pettit started the program, which was originally open to all students, at the University of Washington while she was working on her doctorate. The first year, however, only girls applied, despite the program's arduous schedule.
Dr. Pettit had chosen to take the group to the South Cascade Glacier, one of two glaciers the United States Geological Survey has been studying continuously for half a century.
Just getting there required a two-day hike on primitive trails; each girl carried her own gear and provisions. ''That single-sex experience was so positive,'' Dr. Pettit said, ''after that I knew I had to find an organization that would let me do it just for them.'' As a public institution the university could not offer a program exclusively for one sex.
Since 2000 Dr. Pettit has been running the program through the North Cascades Institute, an educational partner of the North Cascades National Park, along with a co-instructor, Michele Koppes, a University of Washington graduate student in glacial geology.
For many of the program's participants the experience of being just with other women has been crucial to its success. ''If boys were there I think there would have been more of a distraction instead of focusing on the glaciers,'' Ms. Franzen said. ''Having all women definitely allowed us to concentrate on the science.''

Guilderville boys swimming falls to Shenendehowa 100 to 75 on Tuesday, Jan 19th in Clifton Park
Even though Guilderland lost a close game, it gave an effort for the ages.
Guilderland had another chance at a Class AA basketball title, but came up short, again.
The Dutch had a rough loss in the Class AA quarterfinals.
Guilderland's unbeaten season was derailed by Shenendehowa.
Looking for a huge victory on the road, the Guilderland soccer team just became another shutout victim for Shenendehowa on Tuesday. Still, the Dutch are comfortably in first place (8-2-1) in the Suburban Council South.
Baseballs were flying out of Shenendehowa's ballpark last Friday during the Class AA quarterfinals, and the Dutchmen couldn't keep up.
Opponents can't break the defense of the Guilderland girls' soccer team, which hasn't allowed a goal in seven games. Even an undefeated Shenendehowa squad couldn't score.

Fighting continued on and off over the past 14 years in the Gaza region, and Israeli dairies often find themselves in the middle of the conflict. Kibbutzes - collective farms - have lined the Gaza border since 1948.
Yesterday, we posted a short story about a recent missile attack that hit the edge of a dairy parlor during milking, killing 9 cows immediately. This attack happened just hours before an announced ceasefire was brokered by an Egyptian proposal, and for our friends in the region we hope the ceasefire holds.
Ralph Ginsberg, an Israeli extension agent, immediately corresponded to provide more pictures and context to the situation spelled out by other Israeli newspapers. He works within the Gaza envelope (the Israeli side of the Gaza Strip) and throughout the country.
Ginsberg's home farm has 1,000 cows. It is one of about 840 farms nationwide consisting of 124,000 cows, or 148 cows per farm on average. Most cows in the country are Israeli-Holsteins, and all bred by artificial insemination.
Israeli herds average 25,807 pounds (11,706 kilograms) of milk per cow per year, the highest national average in the world, with an average 3.7% fat and 3.24% protein. Animals are fed with irrigated forage supplemented by imported grain.
Much of Israel's agriculture is based in a "Kibbutz" setting, which is a large collective settlement. Members share social and economic activities, and jointly own the production. The other type of settlement is a "Moshav," where the farms are individual but they're organized into a cooperative society. The two combined account for 83% of Israel's produce.
Milk is under quota in Israel, with price agreed upon by government, farmers, and industry. Heat stress is one of their major battles, so they cool cows heavily in the summer.
In pictures below is the 340-cow farm that rocket fire affected last week. Ginsberg said it is in the middle of the Gaza border, which you can see in the map is heavy in dairy farms. In one picture below, workers at one kibbutz hold up a sign that says "Dairies are the livelihood of the Gaza envelope settlements," and Ginsberg says this has indeed been the case since 1948.
"Fairly often over the past fourteen years missiles were fired," Ginsberg explained, "not always causing damage, and not only in times like now [during the recent battles]."
In addition to the 9 cows that died immediately at the farm pictured below, 10 more have since been euthanized.
