From a Founder of Interpersonal Neurobiology, Breakthrough Teachings about Human Development and Healing
If you think your mind and your brain are one and the same, think again. According to interpersonal neurobiology pioneer Daniel J. Siegel, the mind actually emerges out of the interaction between your brain and your relationships.
Now, on The Neurobiology of "We," Dr. Siegel invites you on a journey to discover this revolutionary new model of human development—one that can positively transform trauma, move you from stress to calm and equanimity, and promote well-being for you, your family, or even your community.

The Triangle of Human Potential
After 30 years of working with patients and synthesizing scientific research from nearly a dozen diverse fields, Dr. Siegel developed a cohesive, innovative new framework for human potential: the triangle of the mind, brain, and relationships.
Beginning with accessible definitions of each element, he deconstructs the inner workings of this dynamic triad and lucidly explains the intricacies of our neurobiology. "By knowing where energy and information flow in your nervous system—literally cerebral sections and neural connections—you can use the power of your mind to transform your life," explains Dr. Siegel.
Course objectives:
Whether you're a spouse seeking a closer relationship with your mate, a mental health practitioner wanting to help a patient heal trauma, or anyone interested in the fascinating process of personal growth, you'll discover how this powerful model can shape—and re-shape—every aspect of your social and emotional development.
Integration: The Key to Unlocking Optimal Health and Well-Being
From everyday stress to severe trauma, the obstacles to optimal health can be overcome through what Dr. Siegel calls "integration"—or linkage of differentiated parts. On The Neurobiology of "We" you will learn Dr. Siegel's nine approaches to healing and transformation including Consciousness, Memory, Vertical and Bilateral Integration, and other practical ways to enhance your life. Through these methods, you will gain insights to help balance and heal your brain, realize the deeper consequences of your social interactions, and "open to the very heart of well-being."

text: On Catholic Faith and Jesuit Education 2013 Election of Pope Francis Regis University, Colorado's only Jesuit Catholic university, joins the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, friends of the Church and everyone of all faiths and beliefs in celebrating the historic election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J. as Pope Francis. The announcement is even more remarkable given that Pope Francis becomes the first Jesuit to be elected as the spiritual leader of the global Catholic community. As the first Pope from the Americas, Pope Francis' election also signals increased optimism about the future of the Catholic Church. In South America it certainly indicates a new day, that the Roman Catholic Church sees itself as a world Church not Eurocentric. Finally, a Jesuit pope is significant for Regis University and Jesuit higher education, as there are numerous Jesuit universities and high schools around the world. The Society of Jesus is known for its "Can Do" attitude, Jesuits are highly educated and trained (commensurate with his peers in the Society, Pope Francis holds a doctorate), and Pope Francis knows that the Society of Jesus has made a preferential option for the poor. In Pope Francis' opening moments of being before the world, he was silent first…listening. Then he asked that before he prayed for the people of God and the world, that they pray for him. We will continue to pray that God will grant Pope Francis the wisdom and grace to lead the Church into the future. Fr. John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J. President of Regis University

Municipal wireless network
Wikimedia Commons has media related to Municipal wireless networks. |
Municipal wireless network (Municipal Wi-Fi, Muni Wi-Fi or Muni-Fi) is the concept of turning an entire city into a Wireless Access Zone, with the ultimate goal of making wireless access to the Internet a universal service. This is usually done by providing municipal broadband via Wi-Fi to large parts or all of a municipal area by deploying a wireless mesh network. The typical deployment design uses hundreds of routers deployed outdoors, often on poles. The operator of the network acts as a wireless internet service provider.
Such networks go far beyond the existing piggybacking opportunities available near public libraries and some coffee shops. The basic premise of carpeting an area with wireless service in urban centers is that it is more economical to the community to provide the service as a utility rather than to have individual households and businesses pay private firms for such a service. Such networks are viewed as capable of enhancing city management and public safety, especially when used directly by city employees out in the field. They can also be viewed as a social service to those who cannot afford private high-speed services such as DSL. When the network service is free and a small number of clients consume a majority of the available capacity, operating and regulating the network might prove difficult.[1][2]
In 2003, Verge Wireless, a subsidiary of CamSoft Data Systems, Inc., a small company from Baton Rouge Louisiana, forms an agreement with Tropos Networks to build one of the first municipal wireless networks in the downtown area of the city. .[3] Although Tropos technology is primarily focused on public safety, Carlo MacDonald, the founder of Verge Wireless sees it differently. He pitches to Tropos president David Hannah, that the technology is best used to provide public access to Internet wirelessly, providing cities with a way to attract and improve economical development and developers to build mobile applications that can make use of faster bandwidth not available at that time on current mobile devices. Verge Wireless goes on to build networks for Baton Rouge, New Orleans,[4] and other areas, allowing cities to bypass AT&T and other large telecoms in hopes of bringing the technology first to their residents. Knowing what is coming, MacDonald is focused on the applications that will be able to run on his networks providing fast internet to any device. Some applications include, Wireless Security Cameras, Police mug shot software, and location based advertising.
The US Federal Trade Commission has expressed some concerns about such private/public partnerships as trending towards a franchise monopoly.[5]
The technology to allow this continues to advance. In 2007, companies with existing cell sites offered competing paid high-speed wireless services where the laptop owner purchased a PC card or adapter which uses communications based on EV-DO cellular data receivers or WiMAX rather than 802.11b/g. High-end laptops in 2007 featured built-in support for these newer protocols. WiMAX is designed to implement a metropolitan area network (MAN) while 802.11 is designed to implement a wireless local area network (LAN).
Within the United States, providing a municipal wireless network is not officially recognized as a priority. Some have argued that the benefits of public approach may exceed the costs, similar to cable television.[6][7][8]
The construction of such networks is a significant part of their lifetime costs. Usually, a private firm works closely with local government to construct such a network and operate it. Financing is usually shared by both the private firm and the municipal government. Once operational, the service may be free, supported by advertising, provided for a monthly charge per user or some combination. Among deployed networks, usage as measured by number of distinct users has been shown to be moderate to light. Private firms serving multiple cities sometimes maintain a single account for each user thus allowing the user a limited amount of portable service as they travel among the cities covered by the firm. As of 2007, some Muni WiFi deployments are delayed as the private and public partners involved in planned networks continue to negotiate the business model and financing.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
In the build-out of such networks, radio communication is used both for the Wi-Fi service and for the "backhaul" or pathway to the Internet. This means that the nodes only need a wire for power (hence the habit of installing them on power and light utility poles). This "all radio" approach means that nodes must be within range of each other and form a contiguous pathway back to special aggregation nodes that have more traditional access to the Internet. Nodes then relay traffic, somewhat like a fire-bucket brigade, from the laptop to the aggregation node. This limits the way in which the network can be grown incrementally: coverage starts near the aggregation point and, as the mesh grows, new coverage can only grow out from the edge of the mesh. If a new, isolated area is to be covered, then a new aggregation point must be constructed. Private firms often take a phased approach, starting with one or a few sectors of a city to demonstrate competence before making the larger investment of attempting full coverage of a city.
Google WiFi is entirely funded by Google. Despite a failed attempt to provide citywide WiFi through a partnership with internet service provider Earthlink in 2007,[15] the company claims that they are currently working to provide a wireless network for the city of San Francisco, California, although there is no specified completion date.[16] Some other projects that are still in the planning stages have pared back their planned coverage from 100% of a municipal area to only densely commercially zoned areas. One of the most ambitious planned projects is to provide wireless service throughout Silicon Valley, but the winner of the bid seems ready to request that the 40 cities involved help cover more of the cost which has raised concerns that the project will ultimately be too slow-to-market to be deemed a success. Advances in technology in 2005–2007 may allow wireless community network projects to offer a viable alternative. Such projects have an advantage that as they do not have to negotiate with government entities they have no contractual obligations for coverage. A promising example is Meraki's demonstration in San Francisco, which already claims 20,000 distinct users as of October 2007.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
In 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo also provided free wireless to select regions in the United States. Yahoo's free WiFi was made available for one full year to the Times Square area in New York City beginning November 10, 2009.[24][25] Microsoft made free WiFi available to select airports and hotels across the United States, in exchange for one search on the Bing search engine by the user.[26]
Potential externalities[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2011) |
Unintended externalities are possible as a result of local governments providing Internet service to their constituents. A private service provider could choose to offer limited or no service to a region if that region's largest city opted to provide free Internet service, thus eliminating the potential customer base. This could prevent other municipalities in that region from benefiting from the services of the private provider. The smaller municipalities would at the same time not benefit from the free service provided by the larger city. Overuse could be another issue. If usage of the publicly provided network became heavier than existing private options network overload issues could arise, forcing the municipality to invest more heavily, thus spending more revenue, on infrastructure to maintain the existing level of service. This issue could be compounded if private providers begin exiting a market as mentioned above.

Coughing can be a frustrating symptom, but it can also be a sign of very serious disease. Kennel cough is a contagious disease that is usually found in young animals who seem otherwise healthy (good appetite and lots of energy).
When I hear "congestion" associated with coughing in dogs, I think about heart disease first. Pneumonia would be another problem to consider. These require chest x-rays for diagnosis.
Many dogs cough due to a weak trachea (windpipe). These are usual small breed dogs and the problem is usually not severe, but surgery is available if necessary.
If your dog is still coughing, I would recommend a very thorough evaluation that might include some lab tests and chest x-rays.
Call us at Animal Care Clinic for more information.

"...not like the time that I was afraid that my car would break down while crossing the Rockies."
What if your car broke down while crossing the Rockies ing the winter? Then you'd have something to fear.
Great job chasing TH around the deck & turning a regulation drama into a farce !
Next time remind him that his best acting so far was on Bosom Buddies (well, maybe BIG ) .
Im pretty surprised Tom didn't just slap you and challenge you to a duel Wyatt. His answer was prety thoughtful and articulate fore being off the cuff. Its too bad dueling is illegal these days. Think about what a cool story "dueling the Hanks" would be. I bet you could write it with out ever having to duel someone;) Lex
What a terrible review. So Ryan Stone should just be some robot who doesn't know anybody and nobody knows/cares about her? That's realistic? Please. Her backstory serves to make her human, which of course she is, just like any astronaut who conducts missions in space. They all bring a past, a family of some sort, etc. to space with them.
Can Tony Danza match his performance in Going Ape?
JGL has nothing on the Gorgeous One...
This movie had all the elements for a great ribald comedy, along the lines of Tom Jones or the early Woody Allen flicks. The guy is addicted to porn, his apartment, his car, his buddies, his family and the church. He falls in love with a manipulative woman who sees the man she can build out of the raw material - but not the man he is. He has to come to grips with his depersonalization of the women around him and learn to truly interact. With an all-star cast including the wonderful actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza, and some wonderful direction and acting; it should be a good movie. It should be, but it isn't. It's a comedy that isn't funny. After just a few minutes I was repeating to myself, "Alright, we get it. He's addicted to porn. Get on with the story. Show me a movie." But it fails. It takes 1-1/4 hours of the 1-1/2 hour movie to get to the story. It's Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first job of writing and first job of directing. OK, so it wasn't awful but it was a comedy without laughs. He should have stuck to one or two positions but he falls down on the writing/directing/starring thing. Miss this one... it's TOO boring.
A compelling film that's well worth seeing. The stars, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, are young people to watch for future greatness. Superb acting. I thought it was well-written, it was directed and edited perfectly, the acting was great and the screenplay was wonderful. What wasn't to like? I was quite impressed. It fully lives up to the hype and the positive reviews.
I thought it would be a cute movie: a woman who's obsessed with Jane Austen goes to a British mansion where one is immersed in Austen novel imagery and characters. Presumably our heroine finds romance and some comedy. Well it was cute, but it could have been so much more. There could have been better dialogue, more character exposition, better acting, and better jokes. It's not an awful movie - it is fun. But it certainly isn't a great movie. The postscript/epilogue that plays as the credits start was better than the whole film and the comic shots playing during the credits were far funnier than anything that happened during the film. Bret McKenzie (of Flight of the Conchords fame), although a 2nd lead, steals the film and shows remarkable acting talent for his small role. Wait for cable.
This film has a lot of problems. Jug Report tackles one of them: "bust shaming": http://wp.me/p3INSa-5E
The Butler was a great story that needed to be told and needs to be seen. It was not the strongest film in the acting dept. but it was a stirring and moving statement nevertheless. The movie is bigger than the performances. I like the switch between live people and newsreels/TV reporting to tell the histories. I like the sets and the costumes. I like the feel of the sweep of time and changes - the changes to the people and the changes to America. Everybody should see this film; especially the young folks who do not know what went before or who see dates and places and cannot put a human face on the events.
Lots of hating in these comments for such a benign article about a couple of guys that want more out of life than what they see in their future.
They are working, paying taxes I assume, they are not criminals (well, maybe breaking some drug laws but most of us have) and they are trying to build a storyline for their lives that they can use to break in to the entertainment industry.
Sure, there is a certain desperation to it all but don't all dreams come with a certain stench of desperation until they come true.
I hope it all works for them.
By the way, saw the movie, thought it was silly and a step up from child porn. Korine creeps me out but to each his own.
One might think that Woody Allen had produced another comedy from the TV ads and trailers. There's nothing funny about this fine drama. There will be the inevitable (and deserved) comparisons to Streetcar Named Desire. Unlike Streetcar, this isn't a melodrama, it's a tragedy based on the harm Jasmine does to herself in her attempted recovery from mental illness. However, in Blue Jasmine's last scene Simone Signoret's vulnerability and "other worldly" distance from reality in Ship of Fools was brought to mind. There were folks laughing in the theater - and there are depictions of the absurdities of life and people - but I found the laughter jarring and ill-conceived. I kept wondering what the hell was wrong with these people for laughing at things so sad and so not meant to be funny. The scenes generating a few laughs were hard-hitting looks at the realities of just living. Cate Blanchett's performance is so perfect, so Oscar-worthy, it will be hard to even notice some wonderful work done by a fine supporting cast. This movie will hit you hard, even hours after leaving the theater, but you must see the phenomenal Blanchett work in this film.
What a wonderful farce! Imagine Monty Python meets It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and you'll just be touching the surface of this insane romp. Picture this: the ground crew (Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz in cameo appearances) at the airport are more into each other than their jobs and they mess up big time. The plane takes off and the landing gear on one side of the plane is shot. The economy class passengers don't know because the stewardesses in economy always drug their passengers to keep them quiet and so they won't be bothered but one of them accidentally drugged herself and the other stewardesses, too. The plane isn't going from Spain to Mexico, it's circling in Spain trying to find an empty runway to accommodate the emergency landing. In business class there are an assortment of the wildest characters you can imagine, drunk stewards who ply them with liquor and drugs to take the edge off (but with a side effect of increasing libido). Because one of the stewards has "loose lips" there's an amazing amount of plot exposition and character backgrounds to help the audience get fully vested in the story and the people. Hilarity ensues. There are some belly laughs and tons of chuckles and even some touching moments. This film is not for the prudish - there's lots of sex in business class and in the cockpit - but since it's so incredibly inventive and original and clever with so many unexpected plot twists; don't miss it. In Spanish with English subtitles.
I wish I'd seen this when it first came out so many months back. I wish it had been made and I'd seen it when I was little or a teen or even decades ago. There are few screenplays with such brilliant writing. The words, the concepts, the character exposition wash over you more like a tidal bore than a wave. It's too trite to say it's breathtaking, but it does take your breath away - and your heart. A terribly clever plot, a list of Hollywood royalty as the stars (even in cameos and minor roles), wonderful acting and the beauty of Paris (past and present) and you've got a truly great film. It has so much to say about the human condition and so much to say to people everywhere. A slow start belies how important the movie really is. This is one to watch again and again and again.
Always nice to have a fairly civil debate. If you are ever in LA, give me a shout. First drink is on me.
"California had 100 years and is home to every major studio, yet they still need to offer a tax credit to keep production in the state."
Now that's your best point so far.
But it's a different age and Cali shot itself in the foot in many ways...on the other hand, you'll never go broke betting that the Ga. pols will not screw up.
The economy is the deciding factor. If it stays on an upward trend, and state black ink continues... Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Recently, the Bush administration proposed to alter the rules that now govern livestock grazing on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The proposed changes would overturn efforts over the past decade--including 1995 regulations by the Clinton administration aimed at improving public rangeland condition and reducing the impacts of grazing on watersheds, wildlife, and cultural treasures. The Sierra Club's National Grazing Committee asks for your help in defending our public lands from this attack by the Bush administration. The regulatory changes proposed are part of the continuing pattern of President Bush to line the pockets of his wealthy supporters (including large corporate ranchers) by degrading our public lands and placing the costs on the back of all American taxpayers. Some Key Problems of the Proposed Rules:
Conclusion In short, the Sierra Club believes that the Bush administration's proposed BLM grazing regulations will have a long-term adverse impact on wildlife and biological diversity in general. Habitat will continue to decline due to the lengthening of an already burdensome grazing management process, the further erosion of the BLM's ability to control illegal and resource-degrading activities on public lands, and an increase in livestock operators' opportunities to acquire rights to livestock range improvements and water rights on public lands. The cumulative effects resulting from all these and other changes will be significant and adverse for wildlife and biological diversity in the long-term and is a step in privatizing our public lands.

Born on November 28, 1952 in Detroit, Michigan, S. Epatha Merkerson went on to act in stage productions such as The Piano Lesson and I'm Not Stupid. She eventually landed the role of Lt. Anita Van Buren on the TV crime show Law & Order, on which she would star for 17 years. In 2005, she was lead actress in the HBO film Lackawanna Blues, for which she earned an Emmy and Golden Globe.
Early Career
Actress S. Epatha Merkerson was born Sharon Epatha Merkerson on November 28, 1952, in Saginaw, Michigan. Merkerson was raised in Detroit, where her father worked in a factory and her mother was a post office administrator. She initially majored in dance at Wayne State University in Detroit, but when a shy friend begged Merkerson to accompany her to a drama class, she discovered her true passion. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and in 1978 moved to New York City to pursue an acting career.
The fledgling actress first worked on the stage, appearing in several Broadway and off-Broadway productions. Her portrayal of Berniece in August Wilson's The Piano Lesson earned her a Tony Award nomination for best actress and many other accolades, including the Drama Desk Award and the Helen Hayes Award.
Television and Big Screen Roles
Merkerson's first major television role came in 1986, when she played Reba the Mail Lady on the now-infamous Pee Wee's Playhouse. She stayed with the show until 1991, and still keeps in touch with its delightfully preposterous host, Paul Reubens. Merkerson also made the move to the big screen during this time, appearing as Doctor Robinson in the Spike Lee joint She's Gotta Have It, and as Elsa in the critically acclaimed psycho-thriller Jacob's Ladder (1990) with Tim Robbins.
Things did not slow down for Merkerson in 1990: That year, she appeared in the TV movie Equal Justice, the comedy Loose Cannons with Dan Aykroyd and Gene Hackman, the action-adventure film Navy Seals, and as a guest on NBC's Law & Order. On Law & Order, she portrayed a grief-stricken mother in the episode "Mushrooms," in which a botched drug-related crime claims the life of her baby and leaves her son paralyzed. In 1993, the producers of Law & Order offered Merkerson a permanent role, slating her to play the tough but wise Lieutenant Anita Van Buren.
'Law & Order'
Merkerson's role as Lt. Anita Van Buren has brought the actress many personal and professional challenges during her six-year-and-running stay on Law & Order. The program raises many important, though delicate, issues about an extremely competent black woman working among a white male majority. On several occasions, the show's writers had her character make unlikely mistakes, but Merkerson has always fought to maintain Van Buren's integrity as a highly competent lieutenant. This tension finally culminated on-screen when Merkerson's character filed a discrimination lawsuit against her department. Because 95 percent of the show's scripts are based on current news stories, many of the plot lines hit uncomfortably close to home for Merkerson, but the actress has said that the cast's constant goofing around on the set has helped to leaven the weighty subject matter.

October 17, 2013 Minor League UpdateAFL Recap for Games of October 16Hitter of the Day: Stephen Piscotty, RF, Cardinals (Salt River Rafters): 2-4, 2 R, 2B, 3B, BB. Piscotty continues to be red-hot this fall and put together another strong day. He now has three straight multi-hit games. Pitcher of the Day: Matt Heidenreich, RHP, Astros (Peoria Javelinas): 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K. It's a slow day in the AFL when the pitcher of the day walked three batters, but Heidenreich did limit the damage by missing some bats and limiting the hits. It was actually an abnormal start for Heidenreich, who doesn't usually rack up the strikeout numbers but typically has very good control. Seeing it Well

Internet Explorer to add tracking protection
Thursday - 12/9/2010, 4:01pm EST
The protections will be added next year as a feature to the newest version of Internet Explorer and will allow users limit the ability of third-party companies to track them online.
The Times reports the announcement comes less than a week after the Federal Trade Commission advocated a "do not track" mechanism that could be built into a browser and alert Web sites that a user did not want to be monitored.

Vigil for teen killed by cops turns violent in Brooklyn
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Two police officers who killed a 16-year-old boy in Brooklyn reportedly have a history of being sued for alleged civil rights violations. For a fifth straight night Brooklyn residents protested the deadly police shooting of a teenager as a report on the shooting was released by the NYPD earlier in the day.
The Daily News reports (http://nydn.us/XHjdZx ) that the city has paid $215,000 to settle three lawsuits against Sgt. Mourad Mourad and two against officer Jovaniel Cordova.
The officers were in Brooklyn's East Flatbush section March 9 when they tried to stop and question 16-year-old Kimani Gray on the street.
Police say the officers, who were not wearing uniforms, shot the teen after he pulled a gun.
The civil rights lawsuits were all by people who claimed they were illegally stopped and then roughed up.
A Law Department spokeswoman says the settlements were not an admission of wrongdoing.
For a fifth straight night Brooklyn residents protested the shooting as a report on the shooting was released by the NYPD earlier in the day.
About a hundred people took part in a peaceful march in East Flatbush to the spot where Gray was shot last weekend.
Kimani Gray was shot by two plainclothes officers last Saturday after he allegedly pointed a gun at them. The shooting sparked protests, violence and clashes with police that have led to dozens of arrests.
According to the report, the officeras were driving along East 52nd Street when they saw Gray, outside his best friend's birthday party, adjusting his waistband.
According to the report, the officers got out of the car, wearing their shields and identifying themselves, and that's when "Mr. Gray immediately drew a firearm and pointed it" at them.
Officers shot him seven times, including three times in the back, according to the medical examiner. A .38-caliber revolver purchased in Florida was recovered from the scene.
On Thursday, Kimani's mother Carol Gray, her head wrapped in a black scarf and her tearful eyes concealed by sunglasses, held up a photograph of her 16-year-old son and demanded answers.
The picture revealed a grinning boy wearing a blue cap and gown, his arms wrapped around his mother. It was taken the day he graduated from middle school.
"He was slaughtered," Gray told a room filled with reporters. "And I want to know why."
The shooting incited long-simmering resentment against the police officers who patrol the streets in East Flatbush, culminating with the arrests of 46 people Wednesday night.
A police officer was also hit by a brick tossed from a building during the protest and suffered a gash in his face.
The protests Thursday night were mostly peaceful, but officers in riot gear remained in the area to keep control.
And while she doesn't condone the violent protests, Carol Gray said she wants answers. She wants to know why her son was struck by more than one bullet, and she wants to know why she will have to bury him in the coming days.

We stayed at this part several years ago. The change is very good. The landscaping, new buildings, and repair shop make this a campground to go to. We have been looking for a shop to work on our generator for the past week... all we heard was: we are one, two, or three weeks out. I called to make an appointment and was told no problem, just get registered and we will send a tech to your site. The service was quick and well done.

Laura Robson stuns Petra Kvitova in Australian Open three-hour epic
Australian Open
- Venue: Melbourne Park
- Date: 14-27 January
Coverage: BBC Sport website (daily live text commentaries), Radio 5 live (commentaries) & TV/online streaming (both finals)
Laura Robson claimed another big Grand Slam scalp with an epic late-night win over former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova at the Australian Open.
The British number two beat the Czech eighth seed 2-6 6-3 11-9 in an error-strewn but dramatic match that did not finish until 00:30 local time.
Robson, who turns 19 on Monday, recovered from 3-0 down in the final set to join compatriot Heather Watson in the third round.
She next faces American 29th seed Sloane Stephens, with a chance of matching her run at the US Open, where she beat Li Na and Kim Clijsters on her way to the last 16.
"I knew it was going to be a really tough match," Robson said. "I have always struggled against 'lefties' anyway.
"I was just trying to return her serves and it was very hard. But I knew once I got my returns firing a bit and I got a bit more confidence in my serve, I would get myself into the match, and that is what I managed to do."

On a brutal Melbourne day that saw the temperature peak at 40.4C, conditions were still stifling when the pair walked onto Rod Laver Arena at around 9.30pm local time.
It was the first meeting between the pair, whose games are both based around swinging left-handed serves and heavy forehand, and often compared.
Robson played a desperately nervous opening game, double-faulting twice and netting a volley as she was quickly broken to love, only for Kvitova to hand it straight back.
The pattern was set, with Kvitova taking the first set by virtue of making marginally fewer errors and more winners, albeit struggling herself.
Robson levelled with two breaks in the second set as her faltering forehand return began to find its target more regularly, although both players were crippled by service errors.
The match came down to a decider but with the time approaching midnight, and after an hour and a half of largely ugly tennis, a sizeable number of spectators headed for the exit.
Petra Kvitova"I don't think that I ever had a worse serve than today"
They missed out on a gripping finale, a 94-minute final set in which Kvitova opened aggressively and played her best tennis of the match to lead 3-0.
But the double-faults that plagued her evening finally took their toll, two in the fifth game letting Robson back into the set before a repeat performance in the seventh game.
It was Robson who first had the chance to serve out the match at 6-5 up, but Kvitova came out swinging with a drop shot and a thumping return.
After 13 breaks of serve in three sets, the next six games became a shoot-out as the two players showed why their serves can be such devastating weapons, but it was Kvitova who folded once too often.
Her 18th double-fault of the match - to go alongside 18 aces - helped Robson to another break at 9-9 and, cheered on by the majority of the remaining crowd, the Melbourne-born Londoner closed it out to love.
"I don't think that I ever had a worse serve than today," said Kvitova.
The Czech added: "I think that she surprised me with the serve. She's lefty, it's dangerous and I had some trouble with it. She's trying to play very fast and her forehand is good.
"She had a serve for the match and she didn't make it, but she had a second chance and she did it. She did pretty well."

19th January 2013 - 9:33Many sportsmen and women train abroad, which makes that point redundant. Last time I checked Guernsey was part of the UK, so Heather was born here. And most people receive an education past the age of 6, the age at which Laura and her British Parents returned to the UK... although I suspect judging by the illogical and poorly constructed arguments presented in point 264, it is wasted on some...
Comment number 267.
18th January 2013 - 23:16Moving swiftly on from the pointless nationality debate...
Sloane Stephens also looks like one to watch for the future, same age as Robson. If they both end up rising even higher might they become long-term rivals? Could be interesting if so...
Stephens to win tomorrow in 3 sets, I think, though - but the winner of their match to reach the quarters either way. -
Comment number 266.
18th January 2013 - 23:07Thank you Steveblackcat for the spelling correction, I didn't know that.
The do have British passports but that's just like saying: Is it starve a cold, feed a fever? or feed a cold starve a fever, and what do you do if you have both?
Get it? -
Comment number 265.
18th January 2013 - 23:01"That's it! NOT BRITISH!"
The clue is in the passport - that shows your nationality, not necessarily your birth certificate. BTW, the abbreviation for "et cetera" is "etc", not "ect". -
Comment number 264.
18th January 2013 - 22:57Look, both Laura and Heather were not born in the UK. They were not educated, had residence, grew up ect in Britain!
That's it! NOT BRITISH!

Inhofe Opposes Debt Limit Increase
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe says he voted against raising the U.S. debt limit because it allows an increase in the nation's debt without spending cuts.
The bill passed the U.S. Senate Thursday on a 64-34 vote and heads to President Barack Obama. The White House has said the president will sign the bill.
Inhofe said in a news release that he believes any debt limit increase should be tied directly to spending cuts.
The bill allows the Treasury to borrow above the current $16.4 trillion debt limit through May 18. Experts say that would allow the government to borrow about $450 billion to meet interest payments and obligations like Social Security benefits and government salaries.
The Republican-controlled House passed the legislation last week.

"Here's a shot ... Henderson made a wild stab for it and fell ... here's another shot ... right in front ... they score! Henderson has scored for Canada!"
If you're Canadian, you've heard Foster Hewitt's legendary call of 'The Goal' scored by Paul Henderson to clinch the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union at least once in your life.
It was a series the Canadians were supposed to win with ease. Never before had all of Canada's best players joined forces and they were going to crush the Soviets. Or so everyone thought.
The Soviets shocked the Canadians 7-3 in the series opener and the walk in the park was suddenly anything but. The myth of Canadian supremacy had been shattered. The team was in a dogfight with a highly-skilled, highly-motivated opponent.
And as the games progressed it became clear the Summit Series had gone far beyond just hockey; it was a referendum on western freedom vs communism, our way of life against theirs. After 27 days and seven gruelling games the Canadians and Soviets entered the final game tied with three wins each with one tie.
It all came down to Game 8 - September 28, 1972 in Moscow - winner take all.
The Canadians were dealt a major blow in the first period as J-P Parise was ejected early in the first period following a suspect interference call and subsequent confrontation with a referee.
After two periods the Canadians trailed 5-3 and things were looking grim. Refusing to pack their tents, Phil Esposito and Yvan Cournoyer scored to even the game for Canada.
And then came Henderson's legendary goal. It was over, Canada had beaten the Soviet Union in the most important hockey series in history.
It was a watershed moment for Canada, Russia and hockey in general.

The Hope Monster traditionally gets a good mid-winter snack during the Cubs Convention.
I think Hope Monster gets a few nibbles during all the "Cubs mentioned in Free Agent X sweepstakes " stories.
I spent 99% of my time on this comic drawing that Bears C.

I was thinking the Cubs convention was closer to spring, for some reason. Maybe they do two? I don't know.
It's always in January. Most free agents are signed by then so they have a good idea of who to market. The pitchers and catchers report in mid-February so it really does have to happen after the holidays and before then.
@ Aisle424:
Gotcha. Never paid attention before, I guess. It always seemed like something I'd probably never be able to do. Plus, I don't really want to meet those guys in real life. -

Yeah going to Cubs Con is right behind "get a vasectomy" in terms of things I'd want to do.

The Hope Monster still has a giant hoard of Brian Roberts trade morsels packed away for future seasons. He's prudent like that.
@ josh:
Wasn't that big of a deal. Whereas at Cubs con you'd have at least an outside chance of cornering Tom Ricketts and finally nailing down who owns the Chicago Cubs. -

Castro and Barney are tied for the team lead in BWARP: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=1192010

Sori has an easy lead in fWAR. UZR really likes him for some reason.
@ Suburban kid:
I….uh….think we may have had different experiences.It was mildly uncomfortable for an hour or so, sore for about a day (but on the plus side: opiates), and then I don't have to drop $1,000,000 for another kid to go through college. Small price to pay my friend.
@ Mish:
I suppose it's something you should experience at least once, but not at the price they charge. Maybe I just hate being around all those people. -

Vasectomies suck balls.
I thought that it was more of a tying thing, not sucking.
@ josh:
Also, finally a valid excuse to sit around the house and do nothing for 2 weeks! I honestly don't remember the pain at all. It's already a distant memory that I don't have to think about. I would, however, not be able to say the same about an extra child. -

@ josh:
It was creepy and hurt a lot during the procedure, and then I could barely walk afterwards. Maybe the……discomfort…..didn't last that long, I can be a bit of a drama queen.Not arguing the benefits obviously.
I had a friend who thought that vasectomy = castration. I have some really stupid friends.
@ Suburban kid:
So that means you didn't even get a mallet to the head to put you out? That must have been rough. -
@ Rice Cube:
I know 424 and AC go and as far as I know they enjoy it (why else would they go?), but I have no interest in going. Even if I lived in Chicago I would have none. -
@ Rice Cube:
Me in a room full of jocks and rich guys. I'm pretty sure that would be my Hurrican Katrina. -
@ Suburban kid:
He didn't go on the DL, but toward the end of spring training he had a twisted nut. Sounded real painful at the time and it still sounds quite painful. -
@ mb21:
From what I understand a torsion causes mass swelling and tenderness. Soooooo…..yeah. Also, a vasectomy is sometimes required to correct it, I think, or surgery of some kind. -
@ mb21:
Yeah, I talked to Aisley at the last one. I enjoyed talking to Dempster, Rizzo and Brett Jackson for like 10 seconds each but the rest of it was just wandering around and waiting in lines. The seminars were cool, but then I realized that "hey, the beat guys are going to report on this in a couple hours anyway".Thank goodness I got in for free.

@ uncle dave:
Maybe this should move to Josh's FOR MEN forum topic. Discuss shaving and balls. -
Having your balls shaved was, for me, probably the weirdest part. On the plus side, I was real high on opiates at the time. -

@ Suburban kid:
By nearly any notion of personal property law, from finders-keepers to archaic common law, that dude is an asshole. -
