Coordinating Committee in Orthopaedics & Traumatology Total Knee Replacement(全膝關節置換術) Effective date: 19 February 2009 Document no.: PILIC0053E version1.1 Version 1.1 Page 1 of 4 Total Knee Replacement Introduction Total Knee Replacement is a surgery involving replacing your existing diseased cartilage and bone in the knee joint by a prosthesis composed of metal and plastic. There are usually three components: femoral prosthesis, tibial prosthesis and patellar prosthesis. The knee joint can be divided into two parts: femoral-tibial articulation and femoral- patellar articulation. Depending on the severity of disease in your knee, the femoral- tibial articulation, with or without the femoral-patellar articulation, will be replaced by the prosthesis. Indication • End stage arthritis of the knee joint ° Usually due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis ° Sometimes gouty arthritis, osteonecrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, haemophilia, Charcot joint, etc. • Occasionally for tumor, fracture, etc. • The most common symptoms in end-stage arthritis are pain, deformity and stiffness. Occasionally, patients may complain of instability of the joint. • After surgery, pain is usually much reduced. Original deformity and stiffness are usually improved. However, the range of motion is usually not as good as a normal knee. If the knee range was already very good before the surgery, it is difficult to further improve the range of motion. The Procedure • You have to undergo general anaesthesia or regional anaesthesia (e.g. epidural anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, etc). Your anaesthetist will discuss with you about the anaesthetic procedure in details. • You need antibiotic prophylaxis for the operation. Please inform your doctor or nurse if you have drug allergy history. • A tourniquet may be put around the thigh region of the limb. It will be inflated during the procedure to decrease the blood flow to the leg. • Incision is made in the anterior aspect of the knee joint. • Diseased cartilage and bone are then removed. The femoral prosthesis and tibia prosthesis are usually fixed to the bone by cement or other mechanical means. If your patella needs to be replaced, your surgeon will implant the patella prosthesis. • At the end of the procedure, drain(s) may be inserted for drainage of haematoma. • Before going back to a general ward, you may be kept in the recovery room of the operation theatre for observation. Coordinating Committee in Orthopaedics & Traumatology Total Knee Replacement(全膝關節置換術) Effective date: 19 February 2009 Document no.: PILIC0053E version1.1 Version 1.1 Page 2 of 4 Risk and Complication General Complications Like other surgical procedures, there are associated risks and complications with total knee replacement surgery, for example, those associated with anaesthesia, wound complications, pneumonia, stroke, heart attack, etc. Specific Complications Total Knee Replacement is a safe and well accepted surgical procedure internationally. However, similar to other surgical procedures, there are still chances to encounter potential undesirable effects and complications. • Revision Surgery The artificial joint is expected to suffer from mechanical wear. The joint will be loosened eventually and revision surgery will be required. • Infection One of the biggest enemies of artificial joint replacement is infection. The infection rate increases if you have adverse comorbidity, for example, diabetes mellitus. • Dislocation The chance of dislocation in a total knee replacement is infrequent. • Nerve palsy Nerve may be injured during total knee replacement. Nerve injury can result in loss of sensation and function. Some numbness of skin around and at the outer side of the incision should be expected. • Bleeding Some amount of blood loss during a total knee replacement is expected and transfusion may be required. • Vascular injury There is a remote chance of major vessel injury during total knee replacement. Major vascular injury may result in the loss of a limb. • Fracture Fracture can occur both within the operation and in the post-operative period. • Problem in wound healing The problem encountered in wound healing may range from persistent wound discharge to wound edge necrosis and wound dehiscence, which may require further surgical reconstruction. Coordinating Committee in Orthopaedics & Traumatology Total Knee Replacement(全膝關節置換術) Effective date: 19 February 2009 Document no.: PILIC0053E version1.1 Version 1.1 Page 3 of 4 • Thromboembolic disease Deep vein thrombosis after Total Knee Replacement is not uncommon. However, the chance of subsequent pulmonary embolism is low. Death can follow pulmonary embolism but the incidence is very low. • Complications associated with extensor mechanism of knee The complications of extensor mechanism complication include symptomatic patellar instability leading to the need of re-operation, patellar fracture, rupture of patellar tendon and soft tissue impingement problem. • Stiffness Stiffness occurs occasionally after surgery which may require any further treatments. Before the Procedure • Treat and optimize existing disease conditions, e.g. ischemic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, anemia, lung disease • Fasting few hours before the procedure After the Procedure • You will be allowed to eat and drink when your condition is stable. • You need to start mobilization exercise of the ankle. This will help the circulation of blood inside your calf and decrease the chance of deep vein thrombosis. • Physiotherapy will be started later to maintain the range of motion gained during the operation. These include achievement of full extension, maximal flexion and regaining the strength of quadriceps. After a few days, therapists will start to train you to walk. • The stitches / staples will be removed after the wound heals. Possible Additional Procedures • Transfusion Bleeding is inevitable in total knee replacement. Blood transfusion may be required. • Additional Procedure for Fixation of Fracture The chance of intra-operative fracture is low. However, if fracture is encountered, your surgeon may need to stabilize the fracture by extending the wound and fixing the fracture with additional metal implants. • Additional Vascular Procedure Despite the chance of major vessel injury in total knee replacement is remote, the consequence of such injury can be devastating and may lead to potential loss of the limb. If such injury occurs, vascular surgery will be needed. Coordinating Committee in Orthopaedics & Traumatology Total Knee Replacement(全膝關節置換術) Effective date: 19 February 2009 Document no.: PILIC0053E version1.1 Version 1.1 Page 4 of 4 Alternative Treatment Your surgeons will consider total joint replacement for you only if the symptoms cannot be controlled after exhausting other means of conservative treatments, including analgesics, physiotherapy and activities modification. On the other hand, total knee replacement is not a life saving surgery. One can always select to adopt conservative treatments, despite the presence of significant symptoms in terms of pain, stiffness and deformity. Follow Up • You should keep your wound clean and dry • You must follow instructions strictly on taking medication, see the doctor as scheduled • If you have any excessive bleeding, collapse, severe pain, fever or signs of wound infection such as redness, swelling or large amounts of stinking discharge, see your doctor immediately or attend the nearby Accident and Emergency Department Remarks The information contained is very general, the list of complications is not exhaustive and other unforeseen complications may occasionally occur. In special patient groups, the actual risk may be different. For further information please contact your doctor.

No Magic reverses trend of outsourcing
Expanding firm moving jobs from overseas to Allen
- Jeff Bounds
- Senior Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Twitter | Google+
Other factors prompting No Magic to bring jobs back to Allen include higher taxes overseas and an abundance of U.S. talent willing to do more work for less, Duncanson said.
In addition, Duncanson, who served in the U.S. Navy, is gung-ho to hire U.S. military veterans. The technical training vets receive in the service is valuable for a company like No Magic, as is their discipline and can-do attitudes, Duncanson said.
"They know the chain of command and aren't used to failing," he said.
In offshoring, bigger is better
No Magic's case aside, don't expect a flood of companies bringing back jobs they've established in foreign countries.
"It's definitely not a trend ... much as that may appeal to the American reader to say there was one," said Ben Trowbridge, CEO and founder of Alsbridge Inc., an outsourcing consulting shop in Dallas.
In large measure, that's because labor costs in foreign lands can be significantly lower than in the United States, he said. In India, arguably the outsourcing mecca of the world, labor can be anywhere from 60 percent to 71 percent less expensive, Trowbridge said.
Hiring tends to follow large labor pools and good education systems, Trowbridge said. "The Indian college education system will produce in the neighborhood of 4 million graduates this year. The United States will graduate 1.5 million. Of that number, 300,000 won't be U.S. citizens."
But Trowbridge cautioned that hiring overseas isn't for everybody. Outsourcing is "meant for companies that have sufficient depth and breadth of need," he said.
If a business needs 1,000 people in accounts payable all doing the same job, outsourcing can be a good fit, Trowbridge said. It can also work for a business that needs 10 or 20 people all doing similar jobs, but "you've got to be very, very careful" and consider the cost of overseeing employees in far-flung locations.
Jeff covers technology, telecommunications, banking and finance.

John Stossel: Government would ground Santa immediately
The Federal Aviation Administration has complaints about his secret flight path. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources might shoot his unauthorized reindeer the way they shot a baby deer named Giggles at an animal shelter this year. His bag of gifts definitely violates numerous charity tax rules.
Companies called Lyft, Uber and Sidecar offer a phone app that allows people who need a ride somewhere to connect to a driver nearby who'd like to make a few extra bucks. It's like creating an instant taxi business - which is why it makes existing taxi businesses nervous.
Taxi companies aren't happy about losing business to people like me, driving my own car. One cabbie complained, "We have to pay big money for licenses, get fingerprinted, have commercial insurance. (Lyft) has nothing! Sidecar has nothing!"

I had just seen a movie on TV about this same period in Darwin's life, and the perspective and portrayals were quite different. I thought it was quite well acted, I did not think the text was too wordy or abstruse. I think it was sometimes a bit over-wrought.

By Peter Parnell
The year is 1858 and Charles Darwin struggles to finish his theory of natural selection while coping with his daughter's fatal illness and his own loss of faith. Meanwhile, halfway around the world, an unknown young explorer named Wallace is about to come up with the exact same theory. Both vibrantly comic and deeply moving, this gripping drama examines whether scientific discovery inevitably routs religion and spirituality or whether there's a place for all three.
For those who love historically based dramas like Copenhagen and Democracy, this area premiere is not to be missed.
The performance runs two hours and 10 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. No haze, smoke or strobe lighting is used and there is minimal stage combat.

Epta Piges
Epta Piges Review
Seven Springs, or Epta Piges, is a deeply shaded glen watered by mountain springs. They are made all the more photogenic thanks to the imported peacocks that flaunt their plumage in the woods around the springs. The waters are channeled through a 164-yard-long tunnel, which you can walk through, emerging at the edge of a cascading dam and a small man-made lake where you can swim. Here an enterprising local shepherd began serving simple fare in 1945, and his sideline turned into the busy waterside taverna ($) and tourist site of today. Despite its many visitors, Seven Springs' beauty remains unspoiled. To get here, turn right on the inland road near Kolymbia and follow signs.

A number of organizations, municipalities and individuals are participating in the conservation and outdoor recreation project development in the region. And now, members of the Council on Greenways and Trails invite the public to enjoy the trails, parks and waterways of the region and get involved in their development.
The Council on Greenways and Trails (CGT) is a partnership of Crawford, Venango and Clarion counties, seven municipalities and seven nonprofit groups who are working together to build and enhance the outdoor recreation infrastructure of the region; protect the area's natural resources; and capitalize on the economic benefits that are tied to both.
The public is able to make the connections to the potential economic growth they are bringing to the region. The benefits to the region go beyond summertime fun. The year-round activities and amenities hope to draw new residents, visitors and economic development, which are helping to revitalize the area.
The Erie to Pittsburgh Trail (EPT) traverses through the area using local trails. Being part of the larger system draws trail users from across the country. While each trail segment has its own identity, they will now be connected to the region with the new EPT logo to be implemented in 2013. The EPT travels beside or through Spartansburg, Titusville, Oil City, Franklin, Emlenton and Foxburg. Plus, there are more regional multi-use trails, water trails, hiking trails and mountain bike trails in the region that attract visitors to nearby towns.
Businesses and local leaders are learning ways to draw trail users off the trail and into the business districts. With more than 160,000 people using the local trails yearly, the CGT reports, there is a lot of potential for increases to existing businesses and for new ones to open in the area. The designated economic development agencies of the region are realizing this potential and have become involved, partnering with council members. The Oil Region Alliance (ORA) of Business, Industry and Tourism, in particular, has recently became the fiscal agent for CGT with appreciation to the Franklin Industrial and Commercial Development Authority, which held that position to get CGT started.
Connecting the trails to towns is vital. Franklin has improved its connection by improving the trail through Riverfront Park in 2012. Signage and welcome gardens installed this spring will point the way for trail users to safely travel to downtown. Franklin also partnered with Sugarcreek Borough in 2012 to develop a Smart Transportation Plan linking the two municipalities that will enhance safety and access for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.
There are more than 88 miles of multi-use trail within the region, most of which is owned and operated by nonprofit organizations with others operated by municipalities such as Cornplanter and Cranberry townships and Oil Creek State Park. The Allegheny Valley Trails Association in 2012 received funds from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for trail rehabilitation, to purchase trail maintenance equipment, provide ADA access, and other related improvements. More than 10 miles of trail will have a new surface in the 2013 summer season.
This connection between Oil City and Oil Creek State Park will take the current trail route off the busy roadway. The Clear Lake Authority is also extending the trail northward with a feasibility study determining how to connect Spartansburg in Crawford County with Corry in Erie County.
While promoting development, CGT also encourages using the best engineering techniques to protect the environment. In 2013, Titusville, Spartansburg and Woodcock Township will demonstrate such techniques by either installing or improving rain gardens. These small basins use native vegetation to control stormwater runoff while allowing the water to infiltrate back into the ground, reducing flooding and preventing pollution.
Events continue all year long. The Friends of Oil Creek State Park and Two Mile Run County Park maintain cross country ski trails in the winter and invite hiking and running groups for events in the summer. The Clarion County Trails Association is a new organization extending the connections to an even larger region. Horseback riding, mountain biking and ATV and snowmobile motoring all add to the draw.

Yet the outbursts were supercharged by an economic system that not only tolerates but actually fosters sky-high youth unemployment. In September, an incredible 21.7% of 15- to 24-year-olds in France were unemployed, compared to only 11% in the U.S. and 12.6% in Britain. France isn't alone -- other European countries, such as Belgium, Spain, Greece, Italy, and Finland -- also have persistent youth unemployment rates above 20%.
Such sky-high levels of idle youth are a by-product of the welfare-state mentality that's still pervasive across much of Europe. The idea is that government's main role is to provide a safety net for the population, in terms of jobless and health benefits. Generating growth and creating jobs takes a distinctly lower priority, resulting in high unemployment, especially among the young.
UNDIRECTED ENERGY. By contrast, in the U.S. economic model, rapid economic growth and low unemployment can help pull young people over racial and ethnic hurdles. When businesses need lots of new workers, they are willing to take chances, as they did in the late 1990s. From 1996 to 2000, for example, the unemployment rate for young Americans dropped from 12% to just over 9%.
The problem for Europe -- and France in particular -- is that no society can long survive when 20% of young people, with plenty of energy and no place to put it, are unemployed. It's not simply an immigrant problem. Romano Prodi, the leader of the center-left coalition in Italy, says living conditions are terrible in that country's suburbs, even in areas made up only of Italian citizens.
One important lesson of the French riots is that the European economic model is leaving too many people behind, and that's not sustainable.

Over the course of the last 29 days of Write Nonfiction in November (WNFIN) blog posts, one thing struck me over and over again: The publishing world changes almost daily.
I know most writers know this. They just don't always get what it means to them and to their ability to succeed as authors...
Yesterday's post showed us how savvy writers today can utilize the Internet to help them research, write and promote their books. Today we look at how the Internet has changed how readers find those books. In the quickly-changing publishing world—and the even-more-quickly-changing world of book...
More aspiring authors than I can mention in desperate need of a platform refuse to use social networking. They see it as a waste of time and a time sink. Published authors needing to promote their books also won't go near Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+. Somehow, it is beneath them, an...
Authors used to spend their time promoting themselves via speaking. Getting up in front of audiences offered the #1 way to sell books. It ran a close race with radio appearances—or any type of media appearances. Face time…in front of large audiences. That was the ticket to book sales.
One of the tried and true ways to increase book sales involves soliciting positive book reviews. Most authors have heard how the reviews offered by The New York Times can affect book sales, but more and more reviews offered at on-line portals, like Amazon.com, are affecting book buyers...
Every author needs to tackle book marketing and promotion at some point. I know that I began promoting my new book, How to Blog a Book, with workshops, teleseminars, and a blog long I had a completed manuscript. That's how I landed the book deal. And now I market it the same way but have added in...
I've always thought blogging seemed a natural activity for writers. After all, it involves writing. Blogging also allows writers to become self-publishers and to get their writing read. Plus, for aspiring and published authors it provides an easy promotional tool because it doesn't require...
During Write Nonfiction November (WNFIN), writers must write fast to complete their projects in 30 days. Learning to turn out content quickly is a great skill to have. I know this, since I was trained as a magazine journalist and I now spend much of my time churning out content for my four…...
Whenever I teach a workshop, inevitably someone asks me about how to write titles for books. Everyone knows a good title sells books. It's a hook. A grabber. It makes potential readers pick up the book and check it out further. If the title isn't catchy, they might not read the subtitle, turn...
Writing a memoir involves remembering bits and pieces of your life and putting them down on paper. After all, a memoir covers a portion of your life—a few months, a year, a few years—that happened previously. And sometimes this period of time lies in your distant past. It may seem like...

Graham Corp. has been awarded five orders totaling roughly $10 million for the U.S chemical and petrochemical and power generation markets.
The projects are expected to ship in the next nine to 15 months, the Batavia, Genesee County, firm said.
Three orders are for a total of nine surface condensers for use in U.S. ammonia production facilities serving domestic fertilizer markets, including one upgrade and two plant capacity expansions. The remaining two orders are for the U.S. nuclear power generation market.
Graham will provide upgraded filtration components for an existing nuclear facility and ejector systems for four new nuclear operations, the company said.
"Low-cost natural gas continues to drive the growth of the U.S. chemical and petrochemical industry, which I believe is demonstrated by the number of orders we have secured over the past several months," said James Lines, president and CEO, in a statement. "The industry expansion continues to create opportunities for Graham to capitalize on its engineering and manufacturing expertise."

National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) earned AED 4.733 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 , up 9.3% from AED 4.332 billion in the previous financial year 2012 primarily driven by higher net interest income and fee income. This represents diluted EPS of AED 1.04 for FY 2013 versus AED 0.95 for FY 2012. Net profits were up 4.0% to AED 1.077 billion in Q4 2013 versus AED 1.035 billion in Q3 2013, but were down by 3.9% as compared to Q4 2012. The annualised return on average equity for FY 2013 was 14.4%, down from 15.1% in FY 2012. H.E. Nasser Alsowaidi, Chairman of NBAD said, "In 2013, NBAD once again delivered solid results. We delivered strong revenue and earnings growth whilst maintaining our solid balance sheet and strong capital position. Notably, the Bank was awarded the prestigious Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award Diamond Category in 2013, an award which confirms NBAD's position as a leader in the financial industry." Mr. Alex Thursby , Group Chief Executive said, "Our results in 2013 were solid, and we are beginning to see momentum increase as we execute against our 5-year strategic plan. We have laid out a new mission to be 'core to our chosen customers', and we are now focused on capitalising on our unique positioning at the heart of the 'West-East Corridor'. During the year, we won many prestigious awards and were upgraded to AA- from A+ by S&P, a notable event as we are now one of 20 commercial banking groups globally to be rated AA- or equivalent by all three major rating agencies." "We are well positioned to continue the momentum we have begun to see as we enter 2014. The restructuring of our organisation has commenced and we are investing in our new strategy and building the operational 'spine' of the Bank. Our focus is on building new drivers of non-interest income and our results are beginning to show strong improvements in underlying revenue performance. As a result of the reorganisation and investments in building the spine, there were some planned 1-time expenses in the 4th quarter which will not repeat. Going forward, our strategy is to grow our Wholesale, Wealth and Retail & Commercial businesses with concurrent growth in CASA as we expect continued margin pressure." I am confident that we will continue to successfully execute against our strategy, and I am excited by the prospects for NBAD in the coming years," Mr. Thursby concluded.; All Rights Reserved - Mubasher Info

From: Georgetown, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Privacy Screening
Title: Privacy hedge, thick, fast-growing in Georgetown TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
There are a few native shrubs that can be kept trimmed to about 7 ft, and tolerate part shade (2 to 6 hours of sun a day) or sun (6 hours or more of sun.) One thing we want to warn you about is that more and more gardeners are discovering that they cannot grow much of anything under oaks. This is partly because of the shade, partly because of the competing roots, and partly because of allelopathy. Allelopathy is the emission of substances that impede the flourishing of plants beneath that tree. Another warning: don't try to plant the shrubs you select now, in late August/early September. It is still way too hot. Woody plants should be put in the ground in late Fall or early Winter in this part of the world, while they are in partial dormancy. This will give their roots time to develop before the Texas heat makes it imperative for those roots to be able to transmit water and nutrients from the soil up to the leaves, which are the food manufacturers for the plant.
We will go to our Recommended Species and select Central Texas on the map, after which we will specify "shrubs" for General Appearance and "sun" or "part shade" for Light Requirements. You will need to follow each plant link to the page in our database on that plant to find out what its water needs and growing conditions are. We know you would probably prefer evergreen shrubs to help maintain privacy year-round, but that narrows the range of choice quite a bit.
Shrubs for Privacy in Georgetown TX:
Ageratina havanensis (Havana snakeroot) - 2-6 ft. tall, deciduous
Callicarpa americana (American beautyberry) - 3-5 ft., deciduous
Eysenhardtia texana (Texas kidneywood) - 3-10 ft, deciduous
Ilex vomitoria (yaupon) - 12 to 25 ft., can be trimmed to hedge, evergreen
Leucophyllum frutescens (Texas barometer bush) - 3 to 5 ft., evergreen
Mahonia trifoliolata (agarita) - 3 to 8 ft., evergreen
Senna lindheimeriana (velvet leaf senna) - 3 to 6 ft., deciduous
Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain-laurel) - 5 to 10 ft., evergreen

Reading recent Matt Yglesias posts on Tapped, I wonder if there's a Wheel of Regime Change located in the basement of some right-wing think tank. The game is to spin it and write an article about how we should invade the country whose name comes up. (Occasionally a writer spins it too many times, and has to write about all the countries.) While this may be fun, it is not the way to generate good advice on foreign policy.
Scott points out that we have no reason for thinking he's a moderate. Mark smells a plot to dress him up in a false reputation for moderation and sneak him through the Senate. Julie says that he's a Bush henchman first and anything else second, which I completely agree with, and it's this point that interests me the most. Sure, for the next 3.5 years, he'll do Bush's bidding on the Supreme Court. But he'll be 53 when Bush retires, and being a Supreme Court Just
After seeing Lindsay, Matt, and Scott discuss the issue, I'm convinced that the central dilemma faced by nice guys has been missed. This constitutes a blogospheric emergency of such importance that I must use my position as Ezra's guestblogger to make the problem clear.
Thanks to Ezra for inviting my wolfy self back for another guestblogging run!
About a month ago, Ezra made us aware of the good folks pushing Ed Prado for Supreme Court. Ezra saw the movement as a bit naive -- Bush isn't looking for independent, fair-minded consensus candidates in the Prado mold. He wants to drive wedges and pay off special interest groups that support him.
This is Matthew Holt from The Health Care Blog doing a bit of guesting while Ezra is away
In about two hours, I'll be boarding a plane to DC for CAP's Campus Progress conference. I'll be there for three days and I'm not sure how much blogging I'll be able to do during the trip. That's why I've asked Neil Sinhababu to come on for the duration and offer some backup. So I'll be around, but so will he. As always, expect wacky hijinks to occur.
Matt is probably correct, I should be a bit more cautious about gleefully predicting a split between Big Business and the Christian Right on Bush's pick for the Court. But Matt too should be careful: just because both groups want bad things, doesn't mean they want bad things in the same way. And while Bush can most likely find someone inconsistent enough to promise bad things in multiple ways, there are times when ill intentions use conflicting means.
This week's profilee was Democracy Arsenal's Heather Hurlburt. Take a look.
As we all shake and shiver over whatever Dark Spirit Dobsen has summoned and Bush is going to nominate to the Court, it's worth remembering that, though the Christian Right is the loudest member of the GOP's coalition choir, they're not the only one. Hell, they may not even be the most important one. That plaudit probably goes to Big Business. And what business wants, the Church may not.
Via Matt, Michael Ledeen is talking crazy:
As of 9/11, the terror masters were five: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Today they are three, which is certainly good work on our part. But it isn't nearly good enough. We cannot possibly have decent security in Iraq unless we end the murderous tyrannies in Tehran and Damascus, and convince or compel the Saudi royal family to shut down the global network of terrorist brainwashing centers they spend billions of dollars to operate.

AT&T National: Ken Duke walks course as a champion for first time
Story Topics
Ray Duke's feet barely touched the wet grass as he circled the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club on Thursday morning.
He has watched his son, Ken, play hundreds of rounds since Ken became a pro golfer in 1994, but this one was different. For the first time in 188 PGA Tour starts, and so many others on four developmental tours, Ken teed off with a PGA tournament victory to his name.
SEE ALSO: AT&T National: Roberto Castro takes lead on tough day at Congressional
"I'm not near as nervous as I'd have been if he hadn't had won," Ray said after the round. "I'm more comfortable today."
The same was true for Ken, who shot an even-par 71 on Thursday. He finished the first round tied for 28th behind leader Roberto Castro, who shot 5 under in the afternoon.
Duke won the Travelers Championship in Hartford, Conn., on Sunday on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. At age 44, he became the second-oldest first-time winner on tour since 1970.
After he won, he shook a bottle of Coca-Cola on the course and sprayed it about as if it were champagne. Duke's trainer has advised him to consume his favorite drink in moderation. The celebration, however, was decades in the making. The emotions after accomplishing a lifelong goal poured out — elation, pride and relief.
"Did I think I'd ever win? You just never know," Duke said this week. "I mean, I thought I could, and I thought I was good enough to, but getting it done is a different story."
Ray Duke shared his son's doubt. Not about his son's talent, but whether all the elements required for Ken to win would ever align for four days.
He watched Sunday's playoff with his wife, Bettie, at their home in Arkadelphia, Ark. Ray paced in their den, scanning the television for measures of Ken's mental toughness.
"Maturity and composure, you grow from all of that over the years of experience," Ray said. "And he's there."
Ray and Bettie's phone rang off the hook after Ken birdied to win. Ken, meanwhile, received a stream of congratulatory text messages. Among the senders: NBA greats Charles Barkley and Ray Allen and several country musicians, including Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts.
Ray, 72, was most satisfied by how Ken embodied patience — one of a golfer's greatest virtues — in continuing to pursue victory on tour. But it's even more remarkable that Ken was in position to compete at all.
He was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teenager. His spine curved right to left at 55 degrees, Ray recalled. The distortion put pressure on Ken's lungs. Surgery was required to avoid serious health problems.
At age 15, he had a 16-inch rod inserted in his back, where it remains today. It straightened his spine, and he stood 3 inches taller after the procedure.
You'd never know Duke once had back problems by watching him walk the course. His biggest difficulty now is keeping up with the youngsters off the tee. He ranks 168th on tour in driving distance.
Duke averaged 288.5 yards Thursday. He consistently was behind his playing partners. Nick Watney, age 32, averaged 311 yards, and Billy Horschel, 26, averaged 308.
"I don't hit it as far as some of these guys," Duke said. "You've really got to hit it long and high here on this golf course."
Still, Duke's even-par score was his best in five rounds at Congressional in this event. He was relaxed, even during a poor start.
He bogeyed two of the first five holes, a span that included a 21-foot par save on No. 11. That didn't deter him from walking along the ropes to converse with an old friend in the gallery.
"He's a great guy, one of the best guys out on tour," Horschel said. "For him to get that victory, you saw how much it meant to him. At the age of 44, who knows how many more chances at victory he has? Hopefully he does have a lot more, but obviously when you get up there in age, it does become a lot tougher."
That's why Sunday was so sweet for Ray. At least there won't be so much tension when he walks the course with his son from now on.
"I don't know that words can describe it," Ray said. "It's very gratifying to him to be able to win because even though you're on the tour, if you haven't won, mentally you really think, 'I'm still not really a big part of that.' But now that he's won and all the players come up and shake hands and high five, aw, it's just a confidence builder."

Beltway Sniper Suspects in Court

Muhammad was charged with a federal firearm violation.
A gun found in the car at a rest stop where two sniper suspects were arrested is a ballistic match for the weapon used in the killings, sources said.
The sniper's three-week murder spree has apparently ended with the arrest of a former military marksman who received an expert badge with an M-16 rifle.

for some reason just a gut feeling i dont think this is the end of this... does anyone know what his motive was?
posted on Oct, 24 2002 @ 10:06 PM
Well, he *had* been leaving extortion messages...
...But the part about the "anonymous tip" has me curious; I've had a theory (admittedly coming out of left-field) that some crooked person in a powerful position (read: Bush & his Bully Boys, IMO) had gotten the snipers started with either some kind of promised rewards or trail of manipulation...For the purpose of focusing public media & attention away from D.C. Once the crooked manipulator had finished his own crooked task, he had the "anonymous tip" lead to the snipers' capture.
SOP for a Machevelian conspirator...
I wonder how someone could find out if this theory is correct or not?

this will be in War on Terrorism, soon.
We�ll certainly be hearing more: if only to maintain the deluge of media hype about this case which has meant that anything else ahs been moved from the front page. Expect links to Al Quida and rifle-range expos�s.
They seem an unlikely pair: John Allen Muhammad 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, -the latter a Jamaican illegal �and one is staggered after the FBI�s performance at the time of 9-11 to see them so full of information on a pair of unknown ne�erdowell�s.
The charges so far are, it appears, rather vague: Malvo as a �material witness� to the sniper attacks �whatever that might mean, and one would imagine that the Feds had to be pretty sure of who, where and when before such a charge could stick and Muhammad on a firearms violation and a marital problem!
It�s odd that they were arrested in Mayland where, to the best of my knowledge, the moratorium means that they won�t be executed; but maybe they�ll also be charged for Virginia murders too.
It�s equally interesting that almost simultaneously the Brits announced that they�d arrested UbL�s number 1 honcho in London. This certainly ensures that Al Qaida could be brought into just about every US media headline.
All the statements I�ve read �and I heard the police chief �live� on BBC World this morning are somewhat indefinite: probably, almost certain etc.
Yes -we'll be hearing more.

whte van = blue Chevvy? Odd.
Also, "ballistics" evidence has been referred to, albeit vaguely.
Now I, like many others, grew up on TV cop shows where a bullet inevitably tells the whole life story of the shooter and an arrest is always made, followed by a conviction.
I believe taht in "real life" (for want of a better word in this context) it ain't necessarily so and that ballistics evidence is often inadequate.
It would be interesting if posters who knew something about firearms (as an Englishman -and a non-ex-serviceman I know very little.) could update the Board on technical ballistics matters as the plot unravels and thickens.
posted on Oct, 25 2002 @ 02:00 PM
While I am certainly no "expert" I do have a pretty good understanding of ballistics.
In most shooting cases the best evidence would come from the slug (bullet) itself, the rifling of the barrel leaves score marks on the bullet as it passes through the barrel and these score marks are about as accurate as a fingerprint.
Unfortunately, this is not one of the "most". This was done with a high powered rifle and since the muzzle energy is around 1100 ft/lbs. from a standard .223 round (opposed to about 110 ft/lbs from a .45 handgun) the slug has a tendency of shattering on contact. Think of getting a fingerprint from a thumb that just went through a food processor...
In this matter they are left with "casing marks" This is still mostly accutate but not quite as good as a slug match. When a gun (especially semi-auto) is fired the shell is forcefully removed from the breach at high speed and the brass will be scratched by both the ejection hook and at the point where the forward most tip of the shell contacts the inside of the bore where the rifling begins.
In addition the precice strike angle and depth of the firing pin dent left in the primer cap is quite unique. Now you can match the angle difference between the ejector hook mark , firing pin "dent" and where the rifling marks on the front end match up.
All I can think of right now....hope that helps some
