What's Wrong with the da Vinci Robot?
Leonardo da Vinci was a study in contradictions: He was an artist and a scientist who often didn't finish what he started. He despised war but invented deadly weapons. As the painter of the Mona Lisa, he was highly praised, but only completed a few other artistic works. He studied elements of flying, but never published his ideas.
Da Vinci's inconsistencies made me think of the da Vinci Robot, his namesake device that some see as revolutionizing healthcare and others see as revolting: Indeed, it is a study in conflict itself.
Surgeons control the da Vinci from a console designed for minimally invasive techniques.
The robot was once again in the news recently in the wake of a report from the ECRI Institute that identified the da Vinci robot, as well as some other technologies, that fail to improve care—or were weak—based on data the institute collected. The ECRI Institute, based in Plymouth Meeting, PA, researches cost-effectiveness in patient care.
ECRI acknowledges that, as more physician residents are trained in the da Vinci robot, there is growing pressure among hospitals to acquire it, which costs between $1 million to $3 million apiece. What's more, applications for robot-assisted surgery have "outpaced supporting clinical evidence for improved patient outcomes, cost-effectiveness and commensurate reimbursement," ECRI states.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I'll tell you what advantage this machine has! Sensitivity and dead zone! I don't care who you are or how experienced you are, you cannot stop involuntary trembling. As steady as your hand is, those small mistakes are like football fields compared to your tissues and cells. I play flight simulators and other video games and dead zone is so very important. Dead zone is configurable feature to every expensive yokes and joysticks that ignore input when it is under a certain limt. When the doc is holding the knife or laser, any movement is cutting you, but with the robot assist, the doc moves their instrument a micrometer the robot can ignore it. Now the involuntary trembles (no matter how small) are in fact eliminated. Now lest say you actually want to make an incision 1 micrometer, that's 1/100ths the width of a human hair, humans cannot make that precise of a cut. With the robot, they can set the sensitivity to such a fine level they have to move the input instrument 10 cm, for the real laser to move 1 micrometer, (factor of 100, 000) as long as a camera can zoom that deep. Now these are just some theoretical ideas, I have no idea if the robot can actuallybe that precise, but now these levels are in view as the technology improves.

There is nothing wrong with the DaVinci Robotic system! It is an amazing piece of technology that has made a paradigm shift in surgery. At its core it is part of a bigger group.of minimally invasive surgery procedures. MIS as a group is far better for the patient and hospital and medical insurance companies. What needs to be differentiated is the choice of methods used in the various procedures being done. In many cases MIS can be done without the DaVinci system with very similar outcomes. Thus costing all parties much less. What also needs to be recognized is that the DaVinci system can do MIS procedures that up until now were only able to be done by open surgery. Here is the big gain for all parties concerned. Here the patient and hospital and insurance companies can all be big gainers. What is needed is the recognition that MIS procedures that can only be done with the DaVinci system should have a higher compensation level to the doctors and hospitals. This will [INVALID] the proper incentives for all those parties to use the DaVinci system more effectively. As doctors are becoming more proficient with the DaVinci system more and more complex procedures will be done with it. The result will be lower costs an better patient care.

I, for some reason, don't trust this robot only because i feel the hospital industry are rushing into using this robot meaning training time for the robot is way too short. I been reading other articles that claim surgeon training for these robots are only two days. Lives are not to be played with nor to be guinea pigs. I think training for the usage of the robot in operation should be an addition 2-4 years in school on top of the years surgeons go to school, because of the seriousness and mastering the use of the robot, reducing the risks of incidents and prove the seriousness of the use of the robot in real human operations.

Shares are up 41.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday.STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more.TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:TheStreet Quant Ratings rates United Therapeutics Corporation as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 9.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 24.4%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- UTHR's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.23 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, UTHR has a quick ratio of 2.01, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 33.08% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, UTHR should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORP has improved earnings per share by 13.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORP increased its bottom line by earning $5.69 versus $3.57 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($6.08 versus $5.69).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Biotechnology industry average. The net income increased by 10.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $72.32 million to $79.86 million.

Herb Pharm Valerian Liquid Herbal Extract -- 1 fl oz
good as it gets
We switched to this liquid so we could give it to my 84 yr old dad more easily than the capsules we were using. I use it as well. It works as well as capsules. The liquid form is ideal for those who find pills and capsules difficult to take. Suprisingly, the tincture has a pleasant taste. Not what you expect when you smell valarian.
June 12, 2013
This extract has a surprisingly good taste for Valerian. It is a little stronger than the passion flower extract I also bought from Herb Pharm. I almost hate to write the review because I think my tolerance to herbs might be a bit high. I bought this to help me calm down at night because I tend to run in overdrive a lot.
I really cannot tell a difference after taking it. I resorted back to melatonin. I will not buy this brand again. I think there are stronger ones out there.

Sioux City, IA - The Heelan Crusaders are ready to prove they're the best team in Class 3A. Heelan faces top ranked Decorah in Thursday's state championship game. Decorah will try to win with a defense that's allowing just 7 points a game this season. But the Vikings haven't faced a high powered offense like Heelan's which is averaging 39 points a game. Heelan head coach Roger Jansen says in order for his team to win they have to put points on the board and hope that Decorah turns it over and makes a few mistakes. Kickoff is set for 7:06 Thursday night in Cedar Falls.

back seems to stay tight. i see lots of good. except for the depth. can you go deeper?
I've noticed some breaks in my form pretty bad so I've started all over again persay. I was doing 265 and have nearly cut that in half to begin working on my form again. Wondering if you guys can give some pointers.
i work out alone so getting a video is somewhat difficult but I tried. There's two different angles.
back seems to stay tight. i see lots of good. except for the depth. can you go deeper?
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
Those are terrific half squatsOriginally Posted by JoeySon
In all seriousness, work on your mobility and flexibility and get some more depth. Start at bodyweight if necessary and work your way up
You're not even going to parallel now...I would say once you're at least going down to parallel that would be great progressOriginally Posted by JoeySon
MobilityWOD has great stuff on ways to improve squats through dynamic and static stretching, and there is a thread in training with a YouTube series on squat technique you might find helpfulOriginally Posted by JoeySon
get a box, go wide, and squat deep!!! and try to foam roll the hip flexors and groin before you squat.
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
If you have mobility issues, you'll never get down that far. Start w a 14" box and work your way down to parallel at 1 inch increments. The box I use is 11", about an inch below parallel for me.Originally Posted by JoeySon
you can get a low box, or build one. and get something like rubber flooring about an inch thick about the same size as the box and you can stack that to make it higher.
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
youtube, "so you think you can squat" really helped me hit those higher #'s
It's not flexibility that is preventing you; it's strength. Your hips are weak as indicated by your knees moving in slightly during each rep. You need to work on your posterior chain and make sure to push your knees out and keep constant pressure on the outside of your feet.What kind of shoes were you wearing?
M.Ed. Ex Phys
To piggy back this there's a couple reasons your knees could be traveling in, all related to the hips.
First, adductors are tight and your hip abductors are weak. Start doing some frog mobs, quadruped rocking adductor mobs, etc. For the hip abductors monster walks and lateral monster walks with bands will add some strength.
A second reason could be due to anterior pelvic tilt. If your hip flexors are tight and your pelvis is tilted forward this will automatically rotate your femur inwards slightly. So, strengthen your glutes and increase hip flexor length and relaxation.
And get your self a good pair of training shoes. Olympic shoes or nike free trainers for squats, chucks or wrestling shoes for deads.
M.Ed. Ex Phys
After spending some time online this morning and doing a little more research I found a few tests for the hip area I certainly have some weakness and overall tightness in my pelvic area. Even with simply BW squats it is difficult and a little uncomfortable to get much past parallel or down to the ground.
I saw some basic excercises to try and improve this and I'm going to stop procrastinating and finally buy a foam tube and do some rolls to help stretch the area before I squat.
Also, for the weak gluteus area should I incorporate good mornings into my routine?
Lastly, so hip flexation would be moving my legs foward? (Bringing knees to stomach/coming down into squat)
and hip abduction is moving my legs away from my side? (Pushing knees out wide during squat)
A little unsure of where hip adductors play a role...
Thanks for the time guys

Special Report: Five Myths about the Pope's Anglican Ordinariates
As a former Anglican priest myself, I am profoundly grateful for our Holy Father's generous proposal toward Anglicans, 'that they all might be one'
Taylor Marshall is a former Anglican priest and the author of 'The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity'.
Those who remember their high school history might recall that Pope Gregory the Great sent missionaries to England in the late sixth century to establish the Catholic Church in England. In A.D. 598, Pope Gregory the Great designated the township of Canterbury as the nation's principal see. There were hiccups along the way (Norman conquest), but England remained under the pastoral oversight of the Pope until 1534 when King Henry VIII declared himself caput ecclesiae anglicanae "Head of the English Church." Henry VIII never shook his devotion to the old rites. He demanded priestly celibacy, Latin Masses, and prayers for the dead. He did however have an appetite for the wealth of the monasteries. When Henry VIII died in 1547, he left his son Edward VI as king. As a Protestant, Edward approved a Protestantized English ritual which became known as the Book of Common Prayer in 1549.
The liturgies found in the Book of Common Prayer and subsequent editions reveal a careful blend of medieval Catholic piety mixed with subtle Protestantism. Henry's daughter Queen Elizabeth fully realized this compromise between Catholicism and Protestantism—perhaps the cleverest grab for political power in history. As England colonized the world, she spread her national Anglican church. In America, she became the Episcopal Church. The new worldwide conglomerate of national churches became known as the Anglican Communion. Since those days, the Anglican Communion has been divided into roughly three camps: High Church (more Catholic), Low Church (more Protestant), and Broad Church (liberals who bless the political and cultural mores of society—something going all the way back to Henry's desire for a second marriage, and then a third marriage, and then a fourth…you know the story).
In the last twenty years, the Broad Churchmen emerged as victors in the Anglican Communion as they secured the ordination of women in the 1980s and 1990s. The past decade has been embroiled in debates about homosexuality as it touches on marriage and clerical ordination. The disaffected conservatives (High Church and Low Church) are looking for options. Clearly, the High Church movement is open to the Catholic Church and many bishops, priests, and lay people have appealed to the Pope for help. The Pope has now provided an an answer: "Come home! Rome opens its doors to you!"
The New York Times, the London Times and almost every known newspaper has printed articles about this new announcement. The blogs are ablaze. However, there is a lot of misinformation churning around out there. I have collected five common misconceptions about the Holy See's announcement. Each myth merits an informed and measured response.
Myth #1 The Pope is sheep-stealing
The Pope's alleged "sheep-stealing" been the most popular subject within the secular media. To them, the Holy Father has launched a media campaign to kick the Anglican Communion while it's down. The poor Archbishop of Canterbury is struggling to keep things together and then "Bamm!" the Pope surprises everyone with a bid for Anglican souls. However, we must remember that it was Anglicans who pursued the matter with the Holy Father—and we're not talking about just one or two Anglicans. We are talking about thousands and thousands of Anglicans: bishops, priests, deacons, and laity. Anglican bishops from several nations have sent private letters to the Holy See. Much of this is confidential. They want a way out. They want to become Catholic. The Pope is responding to souls looking to him for guidance. The pope is not stealing sheep—He is holding out his pastoral staff to those sheep looking for protection.
Myth #2 Rome is preparing the world for a general married priesthood
The media also sunk its teeth into the fact that the new Anglican ordinariates would preserve the already recognized discipline of allowing married former-Anglican priests to be ordained as married Catholic priests. This is nothing new. Pope John Paul II approved this measure in 1980 as the "Pastoral Provision." The new personal ordinariate structure does not change anything. In this regard, nothing is new. I have seen with my own eyes the CDF document from the mid-1980s penned by none other than Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger himself. The document clearly states that the Pastoral Provision is approved so long as it does not undermine the Roman discipline of clerical celibacy. Since the man who wrote that statement is now the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church, I doubt that he is prepping everyone for a change in clerical celibacy. Moreover, convert clergy from Anglicanism will be re-ordained, since Rome does not accept the validity of Anglican ordination.
Myth #3 Rome has reconciled itself to the Protestant Reformation
This myth is based on the liturgical norms accepted by Rome for use by Anglican converts. It goes like this: the Anglican Book of Common Prayer is a book of Protestant worship. Rome is now allowing use of its liturgies; therefore, Rome has capitulated to Protestantism. This argument fails to mention that then-Cardinal Ratzinger heavily oversaw the production of the Book of Divine Worship—the approved set of liturgies for Anglican convert parishes. Protestant elements were expunged (e.g. Thomas Cranmer's consecration prayer), and good elements were retained. The Book of Divine Worship is a "sanitized" version of the Book of Common Prayer, and I suspect that future revisions will be even more traditional in their formulas.
Myth #4 The Anglican Personal Ordinariates will be like Opus Dei (or it will be like the Eastern Catholic Churches)
In canon law, Opus Dei is constituted as a personal prelature. A personal prelature is headed by a prelate (Bishop Javier Echevarria in the case of Opus Dei) and it does not have geographic limits (unlike a local diocese which does have geographic limits), but includes persons who are associated—this is why it's called "personal." Moreover, it envelops both clergy and laity. It's not a religious "order" because it has a lay element.
A personal ordinariate, on the other hand, is similar but different. It is headed by an ordinary (who can be either a bishop or priest). It too is "personal" meaning that it does not have geographic boundaries like a diocese does. It can also include both clergy and laity like a personal prelature. A personal ordinariate differs from a personal prelature in that an ordinariate is reckoned as a "particular church." This means that these Anglican ordinariates will not be a ritual churches like the Eastern Catholic Churches (e.g. Maronite or Melkite). The Anglican personal ordinariates will remain under the Roman Rite as expression of its liturgical diversity.
Myth #5 We already know everything about the Anglican personal ordinariates
We do not know much at all about the Anglican personal ordinarates. All we have is the press release from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Here's really all we know at this juncture: 1) The Pope wants this to happen fast; 2) The Pope is issuing an Apostolic Constitution soon; 3) The Apostolic Constitution will establish the canonical structure of personal ordinariates; 4) The Pope wishes to continue to allow married convert-clergy to serve as priests; 5) The Pope values the "Anglican patrimony" of music, liturgy, reverence, and architecture. This sums up about all we can know at this point.
Here is what we do not know. First, is this a permanent or temporary solution to an ecumenical problem. Will the ordinariates be a ten year, twenty year, or one hundred year project? Related to this question is the concern for how future clergy would be educated and ordained. Would the seminarians training for the ordinariate attend a designated seminary? Moreover, who will serve as the "ordinaries" of the ordinariates if married priests cannot be bishops? Will former Anglican bishops be the first ones considered by the Holy See? What will happen to the current Anglican Use Catholic parishes? Will they be rolled into the new arrangement? And of particular interest to Anglicans, what will the liturgical norms look like? Can the current Book of Divine Worship be revised? The answers to these and other questions await the publication of the actual Apostolic Constitution.
This move by the Holy Father is simply a continuation of his work with Anglicans in the 1980s and 1990s. He understands them, and he is responding to them. We do not even know how many Anglicans will respond to the ordinariate proposal. It could be giant wave of world-wide conversions…or a trickle. Let us pray for the tidal wave.
As a former Anglican priest myself, I am profoundly grateful for our Holy Father's generous proposal toward Anglicans, "that they all might be one" (Jn 17:21). My journey form Anglicanism to Catholicism has been difficult but it was at the same time a via mirabilis—a miraculous way, as John Henry Cardinal Newman described it. I know many Anglican friends who will take up the Holy Father on his offer. Sadly, I know others who will not. Regardless of how the cards fall, Catholics should recognize that the Holy Father's announcement stands in full agreement with the ecumenical agenda that he articulated when he became Pope. In conformity to the Sacred Heart of Christ, he seeks to reconcile all who call on the name of Christ. Let us continue to pray with the Holy Father and encourage those Anglicans who seek a new home.

I am also not a canon lawyer but as a catechist will try to take a whack at the celibacy question. First celibacy is a discipline which is practiced by priests of the Roman Rite, of some of the priests of other rites and of bishops of all rites in the Catholic Church. Celibacy is not a dogma or a necessity for priesthood. It is a discipline.
As a discipline it has many benefits, both spiritual and practical. At its most basic level it does not require a defense. It is a practice of the Church with its origins firmly in the traditions of the Church.
Most Eastern rites, as well as the Orthodox Churches allow married men to be ordained to the priesthood. None allow married men to be raised to the episcopate. None allow unmarried ordained men to marry.
This is not about fairness. It does not have to be defended based upon secular perceptions of social justice. It is a discipline of the Church, and is firmly rooted in canon law as well as Tradition. -

I can understand why the Pope appreciates the "music" the Anglican Church provides. And I believe the music is highly important part of celebration of the Mass. Most definitely I would love to see the "Hymns" which the Anglicans would bring along added to the Roman Catholic Church. But I leave the rest up to God and pray we don't get into a confusion with issues. Even though the Roman Catholic Church does not have women priests, I wonder what the Pope says the role will be of Anglican women Priests. I am Roman Catholic but I have read the book of common prayer and found the organization of the Psalms a very helpful way of reading through all of the Psalms within an entire month. I learned from only one Anglican Priest who has a deep understanding and appreciation of the Roman Catholic Church and gave me a book of prayers by St. Augustine. It is a treasure.

I say, God bless the Pope for doing his job and gathering the sheep, but as it was pointed out, only when they approached him first. I think it is great! I believe this isn't the first time. I believe in the late '70's the pastor and a whole congregation all joined the church in S.C.

The issue of admitting Anglicans into the Catholic Church has become the headlines of many Newspapers in the World today.Catholic Priests are meant not to marry, so if Anglicans really accept their readmission in the Mother Church (Catholic Church), their priests should be among the laity in the Catholic Church. Their priests should not be allowed to celebrate the Mass. This is my sincere suggestion. Let the Holy Father consider this properly before indulging in it.

As has been pointed out already, there is no such Anglican grouping as 'Broad Church' in the sense that Taylor Marshall suggests. The fact that the Anglican Church includes High, Evangelical and Liberal believers under its umbrella means that it is a Broad Church in and of itself (ie: all 3 elements are part of the Broad Churchmanship that is Anglican Christianity).
4 years ago
For the record, your history of the Anglican Church is entirely wrong. Yes, Gregory sent Augustine to England, and was absolutely astonished to find the church there, where it had been since the Roman occupation. Secondly, it was Elizabeth that founded the Anglican Church with the Act of Uniformity, and it had nothing at all to do with her father's divorce. Finally, the Low and High Church camps of Anglicanism are NOT the conservative camps in the Communion. There are liberal Anglo-Catholics (High Church) and liberal Low Churchmen, and vice versa....and liberal and conservative Broad Churchmen. You can't categorize High Church, Low Church, and Broad Church into the Conservative-Liberal Dichotomy. The High, Low, and Broad camps of the Church are theological and liturgical distinctions, not political. Before trying to teach your flock about Anglicanism, learn the history and the demographics of the subject.

I'm no expert but if Anglicans want to become Catholics wouldn't they need to accept that Anglican orders are null and void? I get the impression that "AngloCatholics" who are contemplating the move to Rome are still celebrating "Mass" which seems to suggest they believe their orders are valid after. Do they not accept the decisions of Pope Leo XIII?

I have enjoyed the articles on the Pope and the Anglican Church. It will be a blessing as it works. My father when stationed in England absently went to mass in an Anglican Church and did not realize the difference until the communion. He said he felt foolish but our priest told him not to feel that way because he felt in every way that he had entered a Catholic church at the time. It happened to be a High Anglican Church he found out later, which made him not see the difference right away. Love your articles.

i dont blame you for rushing to judge bcoz it's obvious that you missed my point where i mentioned 'for the purpose its being used'. for all the items i stated, it's an improvement over what we currently have and it's even cheaper than what we bought our 4 yr old laptop for. so, if that's not a wow factor to you, it is for me. go ahead and campaign that a part is garbage, im sure not everybody sees it the same way you do anyway. have a nice day Last edited by slamtaz; 03-02-2013 at 12:37 PM.. |

Extraordinary Magnetoresistance in Semiconductor/Metal Hybrids: A Review

Abstract: The Extraordinary Magnetoresistance (EMR) effect is a change in the resistance of a device upon the application of a magnetic field in hybrid structures, consisting of a semiconductor and a metal. The underlying principle of this phenomenon is a change of the current path in the hybrid structure upon application of a magnetic field, due to the Lorentz force. Specifically, the ratio of current, flowing through the highly conducting metal and the poorly conducting semiconductor, changes. The main factors for the device's performance are: the device geometry, the conductivity of the metal and semiconductor, and the mobility of carriers in the semiconductor. Since the discovery of the EMR effect, much effort has been devoted to utilize its promising potential. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the research on the EMR effect and EMR devices is provided. Different geometries of EMR devices are compared with respect to MR ratio and output sensitivity, and the criteria of material selection for high-performance devices are discussed.
Keywords: magnetoresistance effect; extraordinary magnetoresistance effect; semiconductor/metal hybrid; magnetic sensors; high-mobility semiconductors; III–V semiconductors

Evans gets exemption into Greenbrier Classic
Berry Hills club pro to compete in PGA Tour event
Turns out that the Kanawha Valley will have a rooting interest after all in the PGA Greenbrier Classic.
Barry Evans, the pro at Berry Hills Country Club, received an exemption from the Tri-State PGA to compete in next week's inaugural tournament at The Greenbrier's Old White Course in White Sulphur Springs.
Evans earned the honor by capturing the Tri-State PGA section championship last August at Oak Tree Country Club in West Middlesex, Pa., but the group wasn't sure until recently that it would even receive an exemption into the PGA Tour event.
"It's kind of funny,'' Evans said Wednesday. "The section didn't know we were getting a spot. On our last contract, the lawyer left that [clause] out by accident. Then the PGA called and asked us, 'Who's your exemption?' and we said, 'What exemption?'
"Traditionally, any section that gets a spot in a tournament, it goes to the sectional champ, and that's why I'm going. When I won, the pro at The Greenbrier [Hill Herrick] said, 'You're in the Classic.' Then I immediately found out I was not, and I hadn't thought about it [since]. I didn't enter any of the qualifiers or anything.''
Some people, including Evans, thought the winner of last week's West Virginia Open might get an exemption into the Greenbrier Classic field, much like Lewisburg's Jonathan Bartlett received for capturing the State Amateur earlier this summer, but that didn't happen.
Still, Evans has time to think about the honor now, and must make the time to prepare to play alongside some of the best golfers in the world.
"It's going to be fun,'' he said. "I'm 48 years old and I've played in [PGA] Tour events and two major championships, but to play in a West Virginia tour event - and especially to have my son caddie for me - is really exciting. A lot of fun. I'm not going down there with the delusion that I'm going to win it or anything. Every day I'm there, I'm going to take it all in and enjoy it.
"Anytime you have something big, you practice more than normal - like the National Club Pro or the State Open. I was just going to relax because I didn't have anything big until the middle of August, but now I've got to practice more.''
The four-day, 72-hole Greenbrier Classic begins on Thursday, July 29, but players will have practice rounds Monday and Tuesday that week and a pro-am is set for Wednesday. PGA players have until 5 p.m. Friday to commit to the event.
Evans, the Tri-State PGA player of the year in 2008 and three-time sectional championship winner, didn't want to set any hard and fast goals for himself in the Classic.
"If I played really well, I could make the cut,'' he said. "Whether I do or not, I'm going to have a good time. It's going to be an exciting few days, spending time being around the best players in the world.''
Evans wouldn't mind playing in a group with Bartlett, whom he came to know during last week's State Open.
"Traditionally, some of the provisional guys sometimes get paired,'' Evans said. "I'd love to be paired with him. I met him at the Open, and he's a super nice guy.''

Bismack Biyombo wasn't drafted to be an offensive stalwart. Ever. The Charlotte Bobcats and everyone else in the NBA world knew exactly what Biyombo was: a defensive stopper with no real hope of developing consistent offensive skills.
And if they stick to their first notion and don't expect too much out of him on the side of the court where they get points, then they'll probably find a success story.
The beautiful thing about Biyombo is that, aside from his offensive deficiencies, he has a ton of untapped potential in general – most specifically on the defensive end of the floor.
As a rookie in 2011-12, he went through a lockout shortened season, didn't have a regular summer and training camp, and didn't get the natural rookie development one usually gets before hitting the court for the regular season. That, and he played for a pretty bad basketball team.
Despite everything working against him (again, toss in his inability to play offense effectively), and he came away impressing just about anyone who watched him. On the year Biyombo averaged a stellar 1.8 blocks per game, 5.2 points per game, 5.8 rebounds per game, and actually managed to convert on a very respectable 46.4% of his shot attempts. All of this happened in his rookie season, with just 23 minutes per game on the floor.
Biyombo was slow to develop early on, but after being thrust into the starting lineup back in February, he's taken hold of the starting center spot and hasn't really looked back. With his size, strength and wing span, Biyombo is at the very worst a shot-blocker and effective rebounder, while his presence will also force offensive players to alter shots or turn the ball over.
Biyombo is still light years away from even upgrading up from "offensive liability", but he looked much better in that area as a rookie than many imagined. And the best part was, while his offensive skills were still lacking, he lived up to the hype in every other area he was scouted to be effective in.
Going forward, Biyombo still has loads of untapped potential on the defense end, and if he can somehow mold into even a Ben Wallace-type offensive player, he should be able to be a cemented force for the Bobcats to lean on for years to come. For a young team that isn't expected to pour it on thick on offense, having an elite defensive presence in the paint is a great stepping stone to finding an identity and competing with better teams. Biyombo appears to be giving Charlotte a chance to do that, and the better he gets, the better they should get, as well.
I don't see a smooth transition completely in just his second season, but you have to admit that a normal NBA off-season is going to work wonders for him, while starting from day one and getting consistent minutes will help him with his own consistency. Look for a rise in numbers across the board as Biyombo gets more comfortable with each passing month in the 2012-13 NBA season.
Fantasy Analysis
Making a huge difference in just his second season as an NBA player is one thing, but coming up big in fantasy basketball is another. For one thing, it's generally easier. Biyombo is never going to be a reliable offensive threat. He just doesn't have the range or touch on his jumper, and he doesn't have enough reliable post moves. His percentages and touches aren't good or consistent, either, so you can forget about it. His 5.2 points per game as a rookie was a nice surprise, but 5-7 points per game should be his expected cap for the near future, unless he blows up in his development.
With all of that said, he can still be a major fantasy asset based off of what we all witnessed in his rookie year. If for some reason Biyombo had his minutes doubled (to 36 per game) and he stayed out of foul trouble and wasn't too much of an offensive liability, his numbers could hypothetically jump (or double) to about 10 points per game, 10 boards, and about 3.6 blocks per game. I don't think the points would jump that high, but you get the idea. If his minutes see a major increase, as they probably should, Biyombo could double his rookie production and be averaging about 20-28 points per game. That's probably his ceiling, but that's a very nice ceiling for a guy floating under the radar and with no offensive game to speak of.
If you look back to last year, Biyombo was an absolute blocking machine. He literally ended his season with a block in his final 11 contests, and had two or more blocks in his final 10 games. In fact, he finished the year with a sensational five-block game against the New York Knicks.
Biyombo responded well enough when given large amounts of minutes in his rookie year. He committed too many fouls, turned the ball over a bit too much and appeared gassed at times, but he was a rookie on a bad team. He'll be better in his second season, which should mean good things for the Bobcats and your fantasy basketball team.

Tanning beds don't offer a safe alternative to natural sunlight.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation damages your skin, whether the exposure comes from tanning beds or natural sunlight. This damage increases the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging. In fact, tanning beds emit UVA rays — which might increase the risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
If you'd like the golden glow of a tan without exposure to damaging UV radiation, consider using a sunless tanning product. Avoid tanning beds, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen whenever you're outdoors.
