Restoring lives, shaping the future
Published: Feb. 12, 2010
Updated: June 6, 2012
We strive to complete the entire evaluation during this week, so we can make recommendations as quickly as possible about your ability to have a safe and successful lung transplant.
You will have several appointments to complete studies and meet with members of the transplant team. The pre-transplant coordinator begins the week with a group class to explain details about the evaluation and what to expect.
Clinicians from each of the studies you undergo will explain the studies and may ask you to sign a separate consent form.
Please keep in mind that the people who perform the studies do not tell you about the results; your transplant team physician or transplant coordinator will summarize and explain all results to you after your evaluation is completed.
You will be scheduled for some or all of the following tests:
Many blood tests will be done, including those that identify your blood type and assess kidney, liver, and immune-system function. We also check for viruses or other infections that could cause a problem after the surgery.
Familiar to everyone who has lung disease, these tests measure breathing capacity. You will be asked to breathe in and out as fully as possible while a technologist measures the amount of air you intake and the strength of your lungs.
This quick ultrasound test bounces sound waves off your heart to give us information about its function and the condition of your heart valves.
This test provides information about arteries that supply the heart with blood and about internal heart pressures. After numbing an area at the top of your leg, doctors insert a catheter through a large blood vessel and thread it through the vessel and into your heart. A special dye is injected through the catheter that allows the physician to see your blood vessels and measure internal heart pressures.
Medication to help you relax may be given for this procedure if needed. The study usually takes 45 minutes to one hour and is conducted in a specially equipped area called the catheterization ("cath") lab. After the study, you will need to lie flat for a while to prevent bleeding.
This test gives us information about both the blood supply and the air supply to your lungs. You will receive a small injection into an arm vein, then be asked to breathe oxygen through a mask. A large scanner will then record data about air flow in your lungs while you lie still.
This radiology scan provides a three-dimensional image of the inside of your lungs and chest. You will be asked to lie very still on a table that moves you through a round, tunnel-like machine.
This procedure will show your doctor how the muscles in your esophagus (swallowing tube) work. A small tube is passed into your stomach through your nose. When the catheter is in place, you lie down and relax while the test is being performed. Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. During the test you will be asked to swallow water. You will not be able to have anything to eat or drink for at least six hours prior to the test.
This test -- usually performed right after the esophageal manometry test -- is done to see how often acid from your stomach comes up into your esophagus. A small tube that measures your acid reflux is placed in your stomach through your nose and will stay in place overnight. Once the tube is in place, you can eat and drink, and you will be requested to keep a food and drink diary while the test is in progress. The following morning, the tube is removed in the endoscopy clinic.
This evaluation by a rehabilitation specialist helps us assess your tolerance of physical activity. We require participation in our rehabilitation program before and after your transplant to ensure physical readiness for a transplant. This evaluation includes exercise testing and a six-minute walk test.
Other tests may be ordered as part of your lung transplant evaluation. These will be explained to you by a member of the Lung Transplant Team.

[ 4/10 ]
The customer service here is the worst I have ever experienced. This lady was rude and lacks in any type of customer service, such as a friendly hi or welcome. First impressions are lasting impressions. The park is OK, although the spaces are short and it is hard to park all you rig.

This is one of the top KOAs we have stayed in. Not all KOAs are alike and I would rank this one a "10". The owner was very welcoming, cordial, and informative. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate, the restrooms/showers were super clean, and the employee who helped us with our spot was great!

[ 10/10 ]
We chose Luray RV resort based on previous reviews. I'm sure glad that we did! The grounds are immaculate, the shower/restroom facilities are spotless, and the owners made us feel welcome and at home. It's obvious that there is pride in ownership of such a special place. I would highly recommend this campground! It made our 1st time in Virginia a memorable one.

Cargo & Cab light
Anyone know if the 07-08 Silverado cargo light will come on with out the cab light? On the 09 there is no way I can turn just the cargo light on. Its a real pain when driving and the cab light comes on I still cant see either way. My 05 would come on and I would see everything in the back of the truck or see my trailer.

October 2, 2013
As IDWeek 2013 got officially underway in San Francisco today, conference chair Joel Gallant, M.D., offered a glimpse at some of the most noteworthy HIV-related presentations to come as the meeting unfolds.
HIV is one of the focal points of IDWeek, an annual conference founded in 2012 to provide a new, cross-disciplinary approach to the sharing of research, knowledge and best-practice guidance on numerous infectious diseases, particularly those with relevance within the U.S.
Dozens of HIV-related study presentations and sessions will ultimately take place at IDWeek 2013 before the meeting concludes on Oct. 7. Speaking to gathered media at the meeting's opening press conference, Gallant called attention to a handful of specific talks and studies that he felt were particularly worth noting. (As TheBodyPRO.com covers each of these stories in more depth, we'll add links to our articles below.)
Among the symposia and panel discussions, Gallant noted three in particular:
In addition to those broad-topic symposia, Gallant also called attention to four study presentations that will offer new data of clinical relevance for HIV care providers:
Gallant, a leading HIV clinician-researcher, is the associate medical director of specialty services at the Southwest CARE Center in Santa Fe, N.M., and the chair-elect of the HIV Medicine Association, one of the partner organizations jointly producing IDWeek.
Myles Helfand is the editorial director of TheBody.com and TheBodyPRO.com.

I have been very fortunate over the last few years to have had the opportunity to take many fabulous trips with my favorite travel partner, my sister K. After debating our endless "places to go" list for our next destination, we decided on Paris, a city we had both visited before separately, but both 10+ years ago. We were pleasantly surprised when our sister C asked to come along and get that first stamp in her passport, and soon our Mom signed up for the journey, too.
As happens when we get a new trip on the calendar, I have a tendency to get carried away with planning and researching our destination, and with the abundance of information one can find about Paris, obsessing over the trip pracitically became a full-time job. I started French lessons, spent many evenings watching French films on Netflix, filled my Nook with countless memoirs of ex-pats living in Paris, and of course spent hours and hours reading and re-reading all of the wonderful trip reports and tips here on Fodors.
Since there is sooooooo much info about Paris here provided by people with much more experience and knowledge than I, I'll keep this brief and hit the highlights. We didn't do much that was terribly outside of the normal tourist path, but we had a great time on that path and once again I find myself feeling incredibly lucky to have spent a fabulous week in a great city with three of my favorite ladies.
Three Sisters and their Mother Visit Paris

We all converged on JFK less than a week after Sandy – my sisters from Manhattan, Mom from CT and me from the Philly suburbs. Fear of Sandy-related traffic caused us to arrive at the airport many hours early, but fortunately there were no surprises and our Iberia flights to Paris via Madrid were on-time and uneventful.
It has become a tradition to start every vacation with a brisk walk through the sprawl that is Madrid-Barajas Airport. Just typing those words make me sweat. There is a reason there are defibrilators on the wall every 100 yards in this airport. It's a terrifically well-laid out and modern airport, but HUGE and can be a bit exhausting to traverse after a sleepless overnight flight. Thankfully there are also lots of places to stop for a café, and when we settled in at the gate to wait for our Paris flight with a cafe con leche and the smell of ham in the air, a small part of me almost wished Spain was our final destination.
Soon, though, we were very happy to be in a taxi in Paris on our way from Orly to our home for the next week on the Quai des Grands Augustins, directly at the foot of the Pont Neuf.
This apartment was perfect for us. It had four single beds, was in a great location for walking to many sites and attractions, and had plenty of storage and sitting room for relaxing and game-playing (it is vacation, after all, and we have become addicted to the dice game "Farkle". How can you not love Farkle? Just saying Farkle is fun). It may be a bit too cozy for some. There's only one bathroom, and the area with two of the beds wasn't really a bedroom but a curtained-off nook with room for just the two beds and about 6" of space between them, but for close friends or a family it was fine. We all loved the colors and comfort of this place, and were really happy with this choice. -

Checking in was an adventure, and my French lessons quickly paid off as the owner (actually the owner's Mother, I think), did not speak English. The apartment has three keyed entrances, and a code one must enter to access the building after 8PM and on Sundays. I was pleased that even though my French is really crummy and we did need some charades, I was able to (mostly) understand what she was telling me.
Also an adventure: leaving the apartment. Owner-Mother showed us how to open one of the building doors using a magnetic key-fob, but never showed us how to get OUT. Day one and we were trapped in the building, able to see passers-by through the jail-like bars but unable to figure out how the blasted thing opened! While I ran back up to the apartment to try to search for clues and fret about this being a fire hazard, C and K stayed by the door in hopes they could figure it out.
Using a few "bonjours" and her womanly charms (or at least her ability to gesture wildly), C proved herself to be an excellent addition to our travel-group as she lured over a nice Frenchman who said "there must be a button…" Aha! There was a button, and pressing that released the magnets and allowed the door to be pushed open. C and K thanked our hero (while also hoping not to run into him again, as not being able to work a door is a tad embarassing) and we were freed! In our defense, the button was not very close to the door (though now that I'm writing this, of course the button can't be so close to the door that an outsider could stick a hand thru and open it. Duh) and in our jet-lagged state, we figured it was a broken light switch. Oops. -

Interesting start so far. Just about every residential building in Paris has a button to push to release the street door. In most cases it is even labeled "porte".

We were bursting with culture when we left Paris (along with foie gras and vin rouge). There are endless choices of things to do and see, and it was hard to whittle the wish list down. Here's what we ended up doing, with plenty left on the "next time" list (and the next time and the next time after that, too)
Part 1, Museums and Exhibits
Musee D'Orsay
In addition to the marvelous collection here, we saw a really enjoyable exhibit called Impressionism and Fashion.
Bibliotheque Forney
We saw a small exhibit here of ad posters designed by Bernard Villemot. This was a fun little show, featuring posters he created for brands like Orangina and Perrier.
Paris Seen by Hollywood @ the Hotel de Ville
This was another fun exhibit, free at the Hotel de Ville. The exhibit focused on the way Paris and Parisians are portrayed in films and how the view has changed with the times. The exhibit features all sorts of drawings, snippets of films and costumes worn in different films, and of course there's lots of Audrey Hepburn. We really enjoyed this.
This was a nice space and Monet's Waterlillies are beautifully presented here.
Ok, we didn't actually go INTO the Louvre, but we did walk to it and past the i.m. pei pyramid to walk thru the Tuilleries, so that should count for something, right? This is my second trip to Paris and second miss of the Louvre. We are museum people, too. We go to museums in real life and not just when on vacation. I don't know what it is, but we all just looked at the building and the crowds (and this was in November) and said – meh, next time. I felt the same way at the Vatican and even the Met sometimes. It's too much. The volume is overwhelming. The way to manage it would be to go to a special exhibit or focus on an area of interest, but nothing tickled us on that day so we were happy to just keep walking. -

What a cute, bright apartment---good choice. Also what a great way to connect with your sisters and mother. It's fun to follow along with you in my favorite city.

We really loved that apartment. The owner is an artist and the paintings on the wall are his work, and the colors made the place cheery even when it was gray outside. It was really comfy, too (I can picture my sis rolling her eyes as I type this - I must have said 50 times that I loved the comfy couch), and there was no way we would have been able to find a hotel room for four people with this much space at the price we paid. It really worked out well for us, and gave us a spot to just hang out and spend time together.

Part 2, Touring, Sites and Performances
Mass at Eglise Saint Germain des Pres
One tradition when traveling with Mom is to go to mass in a language that we don't understand (a favorite was in Lisbon, where the only words we understood the entire mass were "Senor Cristo.") The tradition remained alive as we attended Sunday mass at this beautiful church, the oldest in Paris. The church faces some of the famous cafes of Hemingway's Paris, and having recently re-read A Moveable Feast, it was fun to see those.
Discovery Walks Montmartre Walking Tour
We loved this walking tour. It was about two hours long, and we thought it was a great way to see some of the nooks and crannies of this neighborhood. Honestly, if we had gone right to Sacre Couer as originally planned, we would have made a quick stop there and then made a hasty retreat to get away from all of the souvenir stands and hawkers. We would have missed out on a lot of interesting stories. The woman who guided this tour was really passionate about Montmartre, and it was infectious.
Ballet at the Opera Garnier
A tip to anyone interested in taking in a performance at the Opera Garnier: plan to purchase your tickets as soon as they go on sale, or else the choices may be limited. I made my purchase the day after, and ended up with limited choices and pretty lousy seats, in the third row of a box. Of course, they were super cheap at 12e each, but you get what you pay for. Our view was very limited, and we had to wait for our box-mates to leave to get a look at the magnificent Chagall ceiling.
The evening was a tribute to Merce Cunningham, featuring a ballet by Cunningham and music by John Cage. I've seen a Merce Cunningham performance before and loved it, but in that case the music was done by Radiohead and Sigur Ros. I enjoy modern dance (not that I'm any sort of expert) but I can't say the same about John Cage. I think his music (aka collection of noises) sucks the energy out of the dance. I'm sure there's something I'm not getting, but no matter. It was still a great experience to see a performance here, and well worth the 12euro
We went here twice. The first visit was to admire the stained glass windows of the upper chapel. It was the first Sunday of the month so admission was free, and we love gratuit! I was expecting long lines here, but we must have timed it nicely b/c there was hardly a wait at all. It was a sunny afternoon so the colors of the glass were brilliant and we were all enthralled.
The second visit was to take in a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. What a nice way to spend an evening (well, an hour of the evening. It's not a long concert). The setting is beautiful -- you can't see the windows as well in the dark, of course, but they turn off all lights and illuminate only the altar, where the musicians perform, and it's just lovely. Even if you don't like classical music, I would highly recommend this.
Vedette du Pont Neuf cruise
We usually have a ban on water attractions. K and I once had a harrowing experience on a tourist boat in San Francisco, when some other cruisers started throwing food to the flock of seagulls shadowing our boat. The boat was quickly besieged by frenzied seagulls looking for lunch, and K and I were forced inside the boat to escape the attack. We felt trapped, and a ban against water attractions was established. BUT, but this is Paris and we needed to get a little closer to the Seine, plus the dock was about 10 steps from our apartment, so we lifted the ban and spent a chilly hour on the upper deck during one of their evening cruises. We got a really nice of view of a twinkling Eiffel Tower (and that is as close as we got to the ET, BTW) and it was lovely seeing the buildings and monuments of Paris illuminated at night. And, best of all, there were no seagulls. -

I'm enjoying reading your report. We were in Paris for the first time in August, and I LOVE Paris!!! We went on the Vedette du Pont Neuf, too, and really enjoyed the ride. Paris is so beautiful at night.
We had a tour of the Opera Garnier, but didn't see a show there. Went to mass at Notre Dame, which was amazing, and unplanned; we just happened to be there when there was an evening mass being held.
Your story of the sea gulls in San Francisco reminds me of Hitchock's The Birds! -

WHAT WE DID, Part 3, Shopping
Typically when K and I travel together our shopping consists of a) visiting every chocolate shop within a 10 mile radius and b) frantically searching the airport for last minute gifts before leaving the country. Mom, though, loves to shop and she quickly sucked us all into her purchasing frenzy. It was fun!
We shopped around a charming area of Rue du Bac and found a Laudree on Rue Jacob, where we felt obliged to sample some macarons. So pretty and tasty, too. They could become an expensive habit. Mom bought some pretty linens at a shop near here, too.
Rue Montorgueil
I forget where I had read about this market street, but I'm glad we wandered over to it. There were lots of different shops to poke around, and plenty of opportunities to pick up some fun chocolates to sample and to bring back home.
Rue Dauphine and Rue du Buci
We traversed these rues about 100 times during our stay. There are a number of interesting galleries on these streets, but we also found some reasonably priced little places to buy scarves and earrings and things. We had an interesting time at one shop trying to buy jewelry that was sold by the gram, and lamented that we never quite learned the metric system (the shopkeeper may have been lamenting that, too). Oh, and can't forget that there were places to get twinkling Eiffel Towers around here, too, if one desires.
On "Marais Day" we also hit a lot of the shops in that area, and bought some pretty scarves from a street vendor near the Hotel de Ville.
Went to the Supermarket
At home, I dread the supermarket and would much prefer to go to a small market or markets specializing in produce or bakeries or whatever, and we did go to the local boulangerie and fromagerie while in Paris. But we also made many a stop at our local market (a Carrefour, I think) near the Rue de Buci. At first, it was fun looking at all of the French products (why don't we have poultry and thyme flavored potato chips??), but when C started pointing out to other customers which aisle they could find things in, we began to think that perhaps we were spending a bit too much time here.
One reason for our many visits - we were challenged with finding a half-and-half type of creamer for the morning coffee we had at our apartment. We never did quite figure it out, though we did accumulate quite a collection of different milk and milk-like products that we tried but failed. We had the same issue during our trip to San Sebastian last May, where we ended up using a tube of condensed milk out of desperation. I really need to make a note to research the milk issue for our next trip! -

I am enjoying your report. It is so great to hear of mothers/daughters/sisters travelling together. I bet you did a lot of laughing!

I am so enjoying this. We go back in March for trip #6 to Paris, following 10 in Rome and Sicily. Love Rome and Sicily, but Paris has my heart. We have spent many hours at the supermarkets near the apartment we stay in. Too much fun!!

I thought this was really funny. We are going to Paris in March and sharing an apartment with my sister and her husband. I hope we have as much fun as you did with your family. Thanks. -

Talking about milk/cream for coffee----what's with the milk in a box on the shelves that is not refrigerated? In the smaller towns in France that's all we could find. It was good and we refrigerated it after opening but I can't imagine a product like that in the US. In those markets the cold refrigerater sections did not have any milk at all.
An item we loved in the supermarkets in Paris was the sliced, packaged ham in the fridge section. It was so good for a quick snack at the end of the day. Sliced, packaged ham in the US is just nasty compared to the European stuff. The US is a progressive country---why can't we get ham as good as in France & Italy? It's like night and day different. -

Great report, jmct! I love it that you passed on the Louvre and yet managed to be brimful of culture.
I got up at 0245 on the day Opera Garnier tickets went on sale here, was all primed to jump on decent cheap seats for either an opera or ballet. Waited... waited... by the time my turn came, incredibly the last expensive tickets for either would have cost our family of four $135. I still would have jumped on them, but half of us wanted dance and the other half preferred opera. So I agonized for a few min and then turned the computer off and went back to bed. -

I am thoroughly enjoying your report and travelling vicariously with you to my favourite city. We, too, did the "meh" thing when we saw the lineups at the Louvre, but ultimately did get there (4 times). It's never enough!

Gosh, I remember that boxed milk from a trip to Switzerland in 1983. It seemed so exotic at the time, but then our local Kroger carried it for a while.
Report Abuse
this is such a fun report. you are fortunate to travel with family and enjoy all the laughs.
the Milk you got was called "longlife milk" 9at least in England) and it is really a lifesaver at times.
As for half and half, I would just buy plain milk, and then cream, and mix them til I got what I'd like in my coffee. It has worked in a couple of places. -

Thanks all for the kind words and the milk info. Funny how those little things are what you find yourself laughing about later. Taconic, I probably shouldn't admit this, but we weren't even able to figure out which of the many choices wasn cream, in either the refrigerated or non-refrigerated sections. Oops.
I just have a bit left, mostly some restaurant highlights. I'll try to finish it up tomorrow, or at least before I start to focus/fantasize about the next trip!

Garmin GNC nav/com radio.
Garmin is replacing its decade-old line of nav/com radios with more powerful models that add features and comply with coming European regulations that require 8.33 kHz frequency spacing.
The new GTR (a transceiver) and GNC (a nav/com) replace the popular SL40 and SL30 models—but they're not slide-in replacements since the new models are slightly taller.
"These products demonstrate Garmin's commitment to aviators worldwide by providing the solutions they need to meet the latest regulatory requirements in their regions," said Carl Wolf, Garmin's vice president for aviation sales and marketing.
The new radios are FAA approved and come with 10 or 16 watts of transmitting power, up from 8 watts in the SL series. They also have a built-in two-place intercom and the ability to listen to a standby frequency, store up to 20 frequencies in memory, and look up frequencies using airport or VOR codes.
Prices for the units, which will be available in February, range from $1,995 for a 10-watt GTR to $5,495 for a 16-watt GNC with 8.33 kHz spacing.
Garmin officials declined to say how long they will continue offering the SL30 and SL40 models.

Topics Nav Com, Avionics, VOR, Navigation
Garmin has announced an upgrade making new features and options available to operators of G1000-equipped King Airs in the 200/250/300/350 series.

Jackson 'too creepy' for Clippers

07:11 AM ET 05.22 | Vinny Del Negro is out, and Los Angeles' search for a head coach will begin immediately. One source with knowledge of the Clippers' thinking said Phil Jackson would "pretty much be excluded" from consideration because of his engagement to Lakers executive Jeanie Buss. While the source insisted it wasn't a reflection on Jackson's coaching ability, it would simply be "too creepy" for the Clippers to bring in a coach who was engaged to the owner of their crosstown rival. Jackson repeatedly has insisted that he's not interested in a return to coaching, preferring a front-office role instead. ... Del Negro had a 128-102 regular-season record in three seasons with the team.
Maybe they don't need a coach. CP and CB can share that role;
For all his skills,CP3 is a whiner. He got Scott fired, and now VDN. He hasn't done much in the playoffs himself, so at some point, it's tie to take a close look at the mirror.
PHil is on Mike on Mike right now. He said he is not coming back to coach at all. Management is not in his future also. He just want to be a consultant...

Why not ask CP what he thinks?
He obviously runs the show there. How's that working out for Darren Williams?
<----------------it is getting quite ridiculous how much Jackson gets mentioned the minute a decent to good team needs a coach.
The guy is done.
The NBA spends more time recycling coaches that have failed vs developing new talent from assistants and college.
Scott is popping up with them too, and he is another re-tread.
Why doesn't someone give Brian Shaw a gig? or Bob McAdoo?
Spo got a gig moving up in the ranks in Miami vs Riley going for a re-tread...this is what NBA teams should be doing.

be a great Halloween promo. Sterling won't dish out that kind of money for a guy like Jackson. Truthfully, at this stage of his career, he just comes with too much baggage. It would be too much of a distraction. Chris Paul surely would reap benefit though.
Next coach of the clippers will be Lionel Hollins. The Grizzly don't want to pay him because if they did it would've happened by now he beat the Clippers already with no superstar go to guy. And the two teams are similar he likes a fast pg that can score and he will still coach up his post players in Jordan and griifin. Ya heard it from me first
And deep too.........
just how I like it...ha
You can't blame the Clips for dreaming. After all Phil is the greatest coach ever to do it.
Total Comments (14736)
So let me get this straight....
Phil has no interest in coaching.... The Clippers have no interest in Phil. And yet we get an article.
And besides, the Clippers wouldn't want a guy that wins titles coaching them. Would ruin their "we suck ****" history.
Could never imagine Phil working for Donald Sterling...

Ngata missed the Week 11 loss at Chicago but was able to last 27-of-57 snaps against the Jets. Even on a short week, he's fully expected to be ready to play against the Steelers on Thanksgiving.
Source: Baltimore Sun More player updates »Ngata (knee), CB Lardarius Webb, and ILB Daryl Smith were all listed as questionable on the injury report, but all three are active. The Ravens' Week 12 inactives are CB Asa Jackson, S Omar Brown, RB Bernard Scott, OL Ryan Jensen, WR Deonte Thompson, OLB John Simon, and DT Brandon Williams.
More player updates »Ngata was inactive for Week 11, allowing Matt Forte to peel off 125 total yards and a touchdown against Baltimore while averaging 4.6 yards per carry. If Ngata does not play this week, it would be a matchup boost for Chris Ivory. We don't expect to know Ngata's availability before Sunday morning's inactives.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter More player updates »Marlon Brown (knee) is also inactive. Both players were listed as questionable but were ruled out after going through pregame warm-ups. Ngata's absence is a big boost for the entire Chicago offense, especially Matt Forte. Ngata hurt his knee last week but played through the injury. It will cost him at least one game. Also inactive for the Ravens are S Omar Brown, WR Brandon Stokley, RB Bernard Scott, G/C Ryan Jensen, and OLB John Simon.
More player updates »Ngata suffered a knee injury early in last week's win over the Bengals, but managed to stay in the game. He was able to practice on a limited basis Friday and is on track to play Sunday against the Bears.
Source: ESPN.com More player updates »Ngata headed to the locker room at the end of the first quarter following an 18-yard Giovani Bernard run. The Ravens are classifying it as a "sprained knee."

? "This will help achieve your goal of not relying on the subdomain, and also help getting your Domain name crawled." Sorry to be a pain but i know one of you has the answer! Thanks, Steve
Thanks Shakil,
Just realised that neither site has more than the root page listed ,where at one stage google were actually listing Every single page under the sub-domain..
Have included -index,follow on both sites.
Not sure what you mean about DMOZ - it has both my listings sitting quite happily next door to each other - just want it to spider the other fifteen pages or so .
It seems like a catch 22 situation...Should i just bite the bullet untill i can afford paid hosting?
How will this help getting my domain name crawled?
Surely the reason it isnt crawled now is because the spiders cant find the links to follow..

Off Peak
July 1, 2001
L.A. Loves a Loophole
There's no getting around it...
Letting Go of Electric Generation
The year-long decline in the electric utility stock market has caught most market observers off guard. Picking the winners among electrics has become more difficult. Says Ed Tirello, long-time market savant and utility equity analyst at NatWest Securities, "Competition and retail wheeling have made the selection process nearly impossible short term."
To identify tomorrow's best industry performers, electric utility analysts have focused on generation. They believe low-cost producers with low industrial sales will do better than high-cost producers with large industrial sales within a region. Difficult to argue. Nevertheless, that's only half the story; the other half involves cost of capital and expected returns on functional assets. That's the half we address here. Looking at generation, transmission, and distribution as separate elements of corporate finance, we find that most electric utilities should quit the generating business.
Beta Phobia
Any article that puts the word "beta" on the first page will likely, and appropriately, be discarded. Stay with this one. The pain is short. The theoretical after-tax cost of equity (COE) capital for the electric utility industry currently runs at 11.1 percent, if you use the Capital Asset Pricing Model and, by inference, equity betas. So what? Well, theory holds that a stock price can only advance when a company's return on equity (ROE) exceeds its COE. Thus, if beta and COE are still relevant to stock price performance and worthy of our attention, we should be able to construct a predictive model. Graph 1 does just that. Market/ book ratios have been regressed against the quotient of ROE/COE. The graph looks good. Or, in less understandable parlance, the correlation coefficient is 63 percent and the R2 is 40 percent, which suggests that a company's ability to exceed its theoretical COE will determine, in large part, whether its stock price will rise or drop. So for now, let's stick with betas and COE.
The relevant question is this: Do generating assets carry a higher COE than distribution or transmission assets? If so, does the COE associated with generating assets exceed the allowed ROE, or can a utility with an allowed equity return of 11 percent focus on a business with a higher COE and hope for stock price advancement? Probably not. And yet that is just what a growing segment of the industry is doing (em focusing on the higher potential returns generated in the generation business. But how high do those returns have to be in order to lift a utility's stock price? Certainly higher than the theoretical COE, which we will now attempt to measure.
Measuring Functional Risk
We have divided the industry into three segments with high, medium, and low concentrations of generating assets (percentage of utility assets devoted to generating sector). Intuition might suggest that the segment with the highest concentration would post the highest COE. We have analyzed the utilities in each of the three segments and have removed leverage from their equity betas to establish asset betas (since we are focusing on asset classes). Then we calculated medians for each group (see Table 1).
The asset betas

Terminates Rare Symmetry Violating Processes (RSVP) Project
The National Science Foundation today
terminated a
planned physics project called Rare
Violating Processes (RSVP) originally slated to begin construction this
year at
Brookhaven National Laboratory on At the recommendation of NSF management, the National Science Board, NSF's policymaking body, voted to cancel the RSVP project while it was still in the design stage, due to large projected increases in both construction and operating costs. The project had been budgeted at about $145 million for construction between Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 and 2010. The project's two experiments – intended to investigate the relationship between the electron and its heavier cousin the muon, and to examine differences in the behavior of matter and antimatter – were to be conducted through added incremental use of an existing Brookhaven particle accelerator called the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS), which currently serves as the source for a project called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In recent months, the future budget and operating schedule of the RHIC facility have become uncertain. Since the plan for RSVP was to use the AGS in an incremental mode, uncertainty in the future of the RHIC project translates into increased risk and potential increased costs for RSVP. There were also cost increases in other elements of the project. "Although the discovery potential of RSVP
remains high,"
said Michael Turner, NSF Assistant Director for Mathematics and
Sciences, "continuing the RSVP project in the present budgetary
would lead to an unacceptable loss of research opportunities in
particle physics and other areas of science. While
this decision eliminates a significant elementary
project, NSF reaffirms its strong commitment to work with our partners
in the
funding of elementary particle physics to ensure that the NSF
initially approved RSVP for inclusion in the agency's budget request in
2000, and RSVP appeared in the President's FY 2005 budget as a new
project. In
the fall of 2004, a pre-baseline analysis of the project revealed
costs that could double the cost of construction and more than double
the cost
of operations. NSF initiated a process to reach a decision about how to
with that situation. This process
included obtaining advice from the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel
on the
current scientific value of RSVP, and conducting a rigorous baseline
review of
the project by external experts. At the
end of the evaluation, NSF management recommended termination. Brookhaven's
Alternate Gradient Synchrotron is the highest-intensity high-energy
source in the world. The intensity of
the proton beam delivered by the AGS would have enabled NSF-funded
researchers to search for very rare events that could reveal the
effects of new
elementary particles and forces far above the energy reach of any
current or
future terrestrial particle accelerator. Following today's action by the National Science Board, NSF will work with RSVP on an orderly phase-out of activities over the next few months. |

A speedy left back full of energy and commitment, Bornstein has proven his ability at that spot at the international level. Making his first appearance in a FIFA World Cup, Bornstein turned in one of the many standout performances for the team in the dramatic 1-0 victory against Algeria that set off huge celebrations here in the United States. While his appearances at left back are his bread and butter, it was his foray into the attack that cemented his place in U.S. Soccer lore when he tallied the game-tying goal in the waning seconds against Costa Rica to deliver the U.S. a 2-2 draw and first place in final round qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. After five seasons at Chivas USA that began with Rookie of the Year honors in 2006, he moved south to join UANL Tigres in Mexico's top flight.

Chris Mueller from Rags to Riches Story
Feb 24, 2011
By Jason Karnosky
Throughout the American Hockey League, there is a wealth of great stories.
Many of those stories involve unheralded prospects that when given a chance to play on a nightly basis in the AHL, eventually find monumental success in their hockey playing futures.
But few scripts can match the rags to riches story of Milwaukee Admirals forward Chris Mueller. Despite going undrafted and not even making the Admirals out of training camp in 2009, Mueller has flourished into one of Milwaukee's best forwards and has earned two promotions to the National Hockey League with the Nashville Predators.
"Chris Mueller represents a great story," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "Now it's up to him to realize that he has come a long way and that he's just starting a long career that will hopefully take him to the National Hockey League (on a permanent basis)."
Despite his anonymous pedigree, Mueller hardly fit the profile of a hockey player who deserved to go undrafted by the NHL.
The West Seneca, New York, native starred in college from 2004 to 2008, amassing 42 goals and 104 career points as a forward at Michigan State University. Mueller served as his team's alternate captain during his junior and senior seasons, helping lead the Spartans to the school's third national championship in 2007.
After turning professional in the spring of 2008, Mueller bounced around the AHL and ECHL. On April 11, 2008, Mueller made his professional debut with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins. Mueller would later make stops in Cleveland and Johnstown before finally finding a home in Milwaukee last season.
However, it took time for Mueller to make an impression on Admirals coach Lane Lambert.
"I was only an invite to Milwaukee's training camp last season," Mueller said. "But (Lambert) told me that my first step was to become a regular in the AHL and to be in the line up every day."
Mueller started 2009 in Cincinnati, but rattled off four goals in his first five games with the Cyclones to earn an AHL promotion on October 31. He has not returned to the ECHL since.
Mueller finished the 2009-2010 campaign scoring 13 goals and 27 points for the Admirals. He also played a vital role in Milwaukee's Calder Cup playoff push, scoring three goals and five points in his team's seven-game series loss to Chicago.
"The next step for me was to start getting noticed by Nashville," Mueller said. "(This season) I started to get on their radar."
Mueller started 2010-2011 slowly, scoring just one goal in his first 13 games (his only point during that time). But he started heating up during a November 12 clash at Lake Erie, scoring a pair of goals in the Admirals 4-0 blanking of the Monsters. He finished Milwaukee's marathon 10-game road trip with seven goals and nine points.
Now contributing on a consistent basis, the Predators' brass could not help but take notice of the Mueller's steadily improving play.
"You always think that maybe something's going to happen and that's what you work for," Mueller said. "But I knew that people in Nashville were starting to talk to about me. (Plus) my teammates kept telling me that if I kept playing the way I was, that the Predators would not be able to deny me that opportunity."
Of course, it did not hurt Mueller's cause that his biggest supporter, Lambert, kept chirping in Trotz's ear about the budding prospect he had in Milwaukee.
"Lane Lambert kept telling me that Mueller was the most consistent forward on the Admirals all year," Trotz said. "(Chris) has really worked really hard to become a good player and to get himself into the mix."
But rather than just relying on word of mouth, Trotz and Predators General Manager David Poile decided to take in Milwaukee's December 21 clash with Chicago to see him for themselves.
Mueller finished with one assist and took a game high four shots in the Admirals 3-2 shoot out win over the Wolves.
Trotz walked away from the night impressed what he saw in Mueller and his teammates.
"I'm really happy with our young defense in Milwaukee," Trotz said.
"Up front, I really like (Gabriel) Bourque and (Chris) Mueller is really starting to come along.
Six days later, Mueller's hockey life changed forever. Injuries to Nashville forwards Steve Sullivan and Martin Erat left a gaping hole on the Predators' offensive depth chart. On December 27 Nashville decided to upgrade Mueller's contract to a two-way, AHL-NHL deal.
"Mueller was a guy who was on an American Hockey League contract all year with Milwaukee," Trotz said. "But he has a really good skill set and a really good work ethic, so we decided to put him on an NHL deal."
Mueller was stunned when he heard about the promotion.
"I thought I was working my way toward a new contract, but being called up was a huge surprise," Mueller said. "It was very overwhelming at first."
On December 28, 2010 Mueller made his National Hockey League debut with Nashville in a home matchup with Dallas. The freshly minted Predators forward saw three minutes and 17 seconds of ice time in a 4-2 Nashville loss.
Despite his limited action, Mueller impressed fellow Milwaukee call up Linus Klasen.
"It's great seeing him up here," said Klasen during his time with the Predators. "He's a guy who I've played a lot with in Milwaukee and I always look forward to playing with him in games."
In the days that followed, Nashville slowly got healthier, but Mueller remained, enjoying a prolonged first stint in the NHL. Mueller collected his first point with an assist in the Predators' 6-3 loss to Chicago. Then he doubled his offensive output two nights later in Phoenix with a pair of assists in a 4-2 Nashville victory over the Coyotes.
Mueller finished a 15-game run in NHL on February 5, when he was returned Milwaukee. But that has not diminished the Admirals second leading goal scorer's spirits. Since rejoining Milwaukee, Mueller has contributed four goals and seven points, helping his club post a 6-2-1 mark in that span.
"It was a dream come true playing in the NHL," Mueller said. "A lot was expected up there, but it was pretty much the same thing as playing in Milwaukee, just at a different level."
With Mueller's help, Milwaukee has opened up some breathing room at the top of the AHL's Western Conference. But wherever Mueller future lies for the rest of the season and beyond, that team's fans can be rest assured that no one will work harder on the ice than the Admirals' favorite feel good story.
"Whether I get called up or not, my attitude isn't going to change," Mueller said. "I've seen how hard the guys in the NHL work every day to stay up at that level, (and I want) to be a guy who has what it takes to be there on a regular basis."

Friday Group Ride #42
Fausto Coppi had a big schnoz. I like to think it helped him cut through the wind. His hair was notoriously neat, Brylcreemed left and right, with a razor sharp part. No wind would take purchase there. He had a strange barrel chest that housed steam engine lungs, a narrow, almost feminine waist, and a pair of bird legs you would hardly believe could generate the power that made Coppi 'il campionissimo,' nearly untouchable on the road between 1949 and 1952, and the unquestioned top cyclist on this big blue marble in many of the preceding and successive years as well.
If one were to take the palmares of the top five or six riders in history and set them side-by-side, it would be hard not to conclude that Eddy Merckx is number one. In this exercise, Coppi would drift down the standings somwhere between Hinault and Anquetil. But this is the stuff of paper and statistics and apples and oranges and oddly colored fish on impossible bicycles. It's nonsense.
Coppi won the Giro d' Italia in 1940 and set the Hour Record in '42. He then went off to war in North Africa where he was taken prisoner and lived in a POW camp. He didn't race again, properly, until '46, three seasons later. That year he won Milan – San Remo, the Giro di Lombardia, the Grand Prix des Nations, the Giro della Romagna and three stages of the Giro d'Italia. He won the overall again in '47. Thereafter, he won everything in front of him, Spring Classics, Grand Tours, a World Championship. He was a climber of legendary ability, his signature move being to attack on a hard climb, distance the field and finish minutes before the next rider, alone, as they say, in photo.
It is difficult to separate Coppi from the history of Italy at that time or, for that matter, from the history of professional bicycling. While he, along with great rival Gino Bartali, gave Italians something to cheer about in the bleak post-war years, he also revolutionized bike racing, developing new standards for nutrition, rest, recovery, and preparation. He was a great contributor to modern team tactics at a time when the Grand Tours were just beginning to embrace the notion of competing teams rather than individual cyclists.
I would argue that, given back those three seasons during WWII, and without the toll of disease and ill-nutrition that POW camps and wartime rationing imposed on him, he would have set a standard that Merckx would have strained to see, even from his lofty perch.
For these reasons and many others, Coppi is my favorite cyclist of all time. Though I never saw him race, perhaps even BECAUSE I never saw him race, Coppi represents the absolute apex of what it means to be a PRO cyclist. He is a man who really did transcend himself, both athletically and culturally. With Coppi there are myths and legends, because we don't always have the concrete language to describe the things he achieved.
I could go on and on, but you've read all this before by other people's hands.
This week's Group Ride seeks to leave behind the troubling times of our current top cyclists and would-be legends. What we want to know is: Who is your favorite cyclist of all time, and why?
Rhapsodize, my friends. Wax poetic.
