Five researchers receive SSHRC funding
Five Queen's professors and almost 100 students have been awarded Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) grants, scholarships and fellowships.
"This funding announcement reflects Queen's significant engagement in leading-edge research in the social sciences and humanities and our commitment to the training of graduate students and new scholars. Queen's is a world-class research intensive university and I am delighted that the investment in our researchers continues to advance our reputation and contributions to society," says Steven Liss (VP Research).
Sociology and Global Development Studies professor Dia Da Costa has been awarded $32,770 to try to understand the value of cultural work (specifically, theatre) in India.
"I am glad that what I believe deserves analysis – theatre – as a space of global political economy has received this form of legitimacy," says Professor Da Costa. "Given the realities of outsourced work, economic crises, and the increasingly bleak prospects for arts funding the world over, studying theatre as work can tell us whether and how theatre is reconstructing dominant ideas about what makes labour productive, about labour rights, and social justice in a time of globalization."
Yolande Chan from the School of Business was awarded $20,000 to help organize the Rural Creative Economy: From Theory to Practice. The event explores revitalizing rural communities through creative economic activities such as art, advertising, design, film, publishing, education, R&D, software and media.
Political studies professor Margaret Little (who received $19,300 to help organize the Kingston Poverty Conference 2010 taking place in October) says she is pleased that SSHRC has recognized the innovative and important nature of this conference.
"This conference is really a student initiative. I am deeply impressed with the way the graduate students from a variety of disciplines – sociology, history, English – all are coming together to create a conference about poverty," says Professor Little.
Other professors receiving funding are Jennifer Hosek (German), who was awarded $25,000 for her peer-to-peer computer-assisted language learning initiative and Pamela Dickey Young (School of Religion) who received $19,000 for sexual diversity and religious diversity.
SSHRC is the federal agency that promotes and supports university-based research and training in the humanities and social sciences.

War is Worthless
What is our cause Our cause is to raise awareness of the worthlessness of the War on Iraq. We are students are North Atlanta High School that find the war disgusting, and we want the troops to be withdrew expeditiously. Because of our belief in our cause, we have taken the time to create this petition, and it is our hope that you will
this petition was created by two highschool students that became emotionaly involved in a class project and felt that it was their responsibility to try and do their best to make a difference in the amount of troops currently statoned in iraq, we are trying to lower the number substantially.

The objectives were to quantify psychiatrists' judgments of the benefits and risks of antipsychotic treatments of patients with schizophrenia and to evaluate how patient adherence history affects these judgments.
Weights assigned by respondents to risks, benefits, and alternative drug formulations in the treatment of schizophrenia were assessed via a Web-based survey by using a discrete-choice experiment. Respondents in the United States and the United Kingdom chose among alternative scenarios characterized by various levels of improvement in positive symptoms, negative symptoms, social functioning, weight gain, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), hyperprolactinemia, and hyperglycemia and by formulation. The effect of patient adherence history on respondents' judgments was also assessed. Random-parameters logit and bivariate probit models were estimated.
The sample included 394 psychiatrists. Improvement in positive symptoms from "no improvement" to "very much improved" was the most preferred outcome over the range of improvements included and was assigned a relative importance score of 10. Other outcomes, in decreasing order of importance, were improvement in negative symptoms from "no improvement" to "very much improved" (5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]=4.2–6.2), social functioning from "severe problems" to "mild problems" (4.6, CI=3.8–5.4), no hyperglycemia (1.9, CI=1.5–2.4), <15% weight gain (1.5, CI=.9–2.0), no hyperprolactinemia (1.3, CI=.8–1.6), and no EPS (1.1, CI=.7–1.5). As adherence decreased, formulation became more important than modest efficacy changes and injections were preferred to daily pills (p<.05).
Psychiatrists favored treatments that primarily improve positive symptoms. Choice of formulation became more important as likely adherence declined.

Tottenham Hotspur's Millwall loanee Adam Smith claims two assists in England Under-21's win over Sweden
11:18am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in Sport By Tom Bodell
Tottenham Hotspur's young right-back Adam Smith helped England Under-21s to victory on Tuesday night as Stuart Pearce's side overcame Sweden 4-0.
A brace from Blackpool's Tom Ince and goals from Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey and Sunderland's Connor Wickham helped Pearce's side to a comfortable win over their Swedish counterparts.
Smith, currently on-loan at Millwall, was replaced after 75 minutes by Leeds United's Tom Lees, but not before providing assists for two of the goals.
"It was difficult with the pitch and the conditions but the gaffer said to go out and play and not make excuses with the pitch, that's what we did," Smith told ESPN afterwards.
"Personally, it was a good game for me to get two assists."
Also in action was young winger Kenneth McEvoy, who scored for the Republic of Ireland's Under-19s in their win over the Czech Republic.
McEvoy played the full 90 minutes as Ireland beat the Czechs 2-1 thanks to a header from McEvoy and Ryan Coombes' strike.

Analysis of CTCF-dependent genome organization in pluripotent hESCs and hiPSCs

Public Abstract:
The genetic information contained in all human cells is spatially organized in a very precise manner and further arranged into distinct territories or "neighborhoods" with barriers or "fences" that protect the action in one neighborhood from spilling over into an adjacent region. In this way, one gene (A) can be working while its neighboring genes (B and C) are resting. As physiological conditions change in the body, appropriate signals are transmitted to cells that instruct genes to alter their genetic "programming" by opening or closing the fences and often changing their physical location within the nucleus (which contain our genes) of a cell. This allows gene A to be turned off and genes B and C to start working. Importantly, these "fences" and interactions with other components in the nucleus can control large numbers of genes that regulate critical cellular processes. We have defined the borders/fences of a genetic region (NANOG-STELLAR-GDF3) that is important to maintain human stem cells (hESCs) in their most plastic state that is, having the ability to become any other cell type. To understand how the fences are opened or closed, we identified a critical protein called CTCF that interacts with the fences and serves as a "latch" to keep the NANOG gene working or resting in hESCs or differentiated cells. We further demonstrated that CTCF is necessary for both NANOG gene activity and hESC pluripotency. We now propose to examine the broader role of CTCF in maintaining the proper physical organization/positioning of pluripotent genes within the hESC nucleus. Although critical genes have been identified in stem cells, their spatial organization, which regulates their coordinated activity, has not been determined. We will evaluate the role of CTCF in nuclear positioning and chromosomal interactions of several pluripotency genes in hESCs and measure how this organization changes upon stem cell differentiation when pluripotent genes like NANOG are shut off and new genes are turned on to confer a specific cell fate. We will also examine the relationship between CTCF and a specific signaling pathway that is essential to maintain pluripotency in the activation of their common target genes. Importantly, we will compare CTCF-dependent gene organization in hESCs with that of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to evaluate how closely a "reprogrammed" nucleus actually resembles that of a bona fide stem cell. This information will be valuable before taking hESCs or hiPSC-based therapies to the clinic. We hypothesize that modulating CTCF function will significantly impact gene positioning and may redirect gene expression programs to promote pluripotency or differentiation. Such targeted changes in nuclear organization represent a novel approach to regenerative therapies by potentially improving the efficiency and accuracy of inducing reprogrammed somatic cells.
Statement of Benefit to California:
It is widely believed that the manner in which genes are organized or positioned within cells determines whether they are active or inactive. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) maintain their genetic information (genome) in a very unique organization so that genes can always be activated, which enables hESCs to develop into a wide variety of tissues (pluripotency). Although critical genes have been identified in stem cells, their spatial organization and unique chromosomal interactions, which regulate their coordinated activity, have not been determined. Our research will produce a comprehensive analysis of gene organization in hESCs and determine how these structures change when hESCs lose pluripotency and become a specific cell type. Significantly, we will perform the same analyses in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to compare how accurately gene organization and chromosomal interactions are recreated in adult cells that have been "reprogrammed" to possess stem cell-like properties. Reprogrammed adult cells (hiPSCs) have potentially immense therapeutic value for regenerative medicine due to their capacity to repair or replace damaged tissues. Of fundamental importance to achieving the full promise of stem cell therapy is the ability to produce hiPSCs with high efficiency that are physiologically functional as stem-like cells without acquiring the chromosomal instability associated with tumorigenesis. Towards this goal, we will experimentally manipulate gene organization in adult cells to more closely resemble that found in hESCs. We expect this to facilitate activation of critical genes and potentially increase the efficiency and pluripotent competence of hiPSCs while preserving chromosomal integrity, making the cells safer for use in humans. Such targeted changes in gene organization represent a novel approach to generate therapeutically valuable reprogrammed human adult cells. Our studies will also provide insight into genetic elements ("fences" or boundaries/insulators)that are required to organize human genes and chromosomes into functional units. These genetic elements can, in turn, be inserted into recombinant DNA vectors to improve their effectiveness of delivering genes that reprogram adult cells into hiPSCs.
Review Summary:
Project Synopsis: The project is concerned with understanding how structural changes in chromosomal domains in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) contribute to alterations in gene expression that promote pluripotency or development. The proposal is focused on CTCF, a chromatin insulator protein that appears to organize the genome into functional transcriptional units within nuclei. The first specific aim is to investigate how CTCF influences nuclear positioning of pluripotency genes in pluripotent and differentiated cells. The second aim is to analyze the relationship between CTCF and its associated cofactors with specific structures in the cell nucleus. The third specific aim is to examine genome organization patterns in hiPSCs and investigate whether manipulation of CTCF complexes influences cellular reprogramming. Significance and Innovation: - The project's focus on understanding genome organization in hESCs and hiPSCs may provide new insights into reprogramming and differentiation. - The proposed experiments will test an interesting and novel hypothesis that changes in CTCF complex composition in different cell types mediates cell-specific changes in chromatin organization. - Modulating CTCF function may provide an innovative and safer approach to regulating hESC and hiPSC behavior. Feasibility and Experimental Design: - The study is supported by strong, appropriate, and convincing preliminary data. - All experiments appear well developed with precise methodology, outcome analysis and clearly stated alternative plans. - Reviewers found the proposed studies to be mostly descriptive with minimal attention to molecular mechanisms. - The experimental plan did not adequately consider dynamics of the differentiation process or propose to assess changes over a series of time points. - Reviewers expressed concern about the third aim, which they found too preliminary and lacking in a convincing rationale for manipulation of CTCF. Reviewers were also not convinced that retroviral overexpression of CTCF, which is already ubiquitously expressed, would be informative. It was suggested that the investigators might consider instead performing knockdown studies of CTCF binding partners. Principal Investigator (PI) and Research Team: - The PI has considerable expertise in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling with a highly productive track record. - Other research team members have complementary expertise and appropriate experience. Responsiveness to the RFA: - The project is responsive in its focus on a basic cellular regulatory phenomenon in human stem cells.
Programmatic review:
- This application scored below the initial scientific merit funding line, no programmatic reason to fund the application was proposed, and the GWG voted to place the application in Tier 3, Not Recommended for Funding.

The last time the Minnesota Gophers captured the Axe from the Wisconsin Badgers, the new millennium was just three years old. Over 59,000 packed inside the Metrodome to witness that version of college football's oldest rivalry and as time on the clock hit zero, kicker Rhys Lloyd and his teammates were racing across the turf to the Wisconsin sideline to claim their prize.
Nearly a decade later, the axe has resided in Wisconsin only making brief stops in Minnesota as if to tease the program and its fans. The Badgers have been dominant, outscoring the Gophers 352-203 in their last nine meetings including 42-13 and 38-13 wins the last two seasons.
This is not the past two years, or the seven prior to that even.
Similar to the 2003 season, the Gophers walked through the non-conference schedule with dominant wins over Tulsa, Troy State, Ohio and Louisiana-Lafayette. They opened up with back to back road wins over Penn State and Northwestern before returning home as the #13 ranked team in the nation and a battle against #20 Michigan.
The Friday night collapse on national television could have derailed Glen Mason's team for the season. The Gophers lost that game after blowing a 28 point lead and they would go on to lose the next week against #15 Michigan State to even their BIG 10 record at 2-2.
They rebounded convincingly over the next two weeks with blowout wins over Illinois and Indiana setting up the border battle against Wisconsin.
After a 6-yard touchdown run by Thomas Tapeh with 2:01 left in the half, the Gophers led 24-6. The Badgers would score back to back touchdowns to pull within four, and Jim Sorgi threw his third of four touchdown passes with 1:35 left in the third quarter, the game was tied at 27. Barber scored on an 11-yard run early in the final quarter to regain the lead, but that score was quickly answered with Owen Daniels brought in a 26-yard pass from Sorgi knotting the game at 34 with 7:15 left.
Mason told his team not to forget to get the Axe before Lloyd drilled the game winner from 35 yards away giving the Gophers just their second win in their previous nine tries against the Badgers.
In similar fashion, Jerry Kill's team has a solid running game that has propelled the program to an 8-2 record in similar fashion.
The Gophers rolled through their non-conference schedule and after losing their first two conference games against Iowa and Michigan, have won four straight against Northwestern, Nebraska, Indiana and Penn State.
For the first time since 1901, both teams enter the game six games over .500 and the weather is going to be cold with game time temperatures around 17 degrees and with the wind chill factor, it's going to feel more like 5 degrees. No problem for Kill and his squad.
"It's gonna be colder," Kill said during his weekly media press conference. "It kind of adds to what it's all about. It's old fashioned football, Midwest, cold, windy."
If the Axe is going to remain on the west side of this rivalry, the Gophers are going to have to continue the consistent play they have exhibited over the course of the last month. Quarterback Philip Nelson has played the best football of his career in that span and has balanced the offense as running back David Cobb makes a play to become the first Minnesota back to eclipse 1,000 yards in a season since Amir Pinix in 2006.

Johnny Cueto continued his early season success leading the
Reds to a 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Cueto, the Reds Opening Day stater, allowed only two hits
and two earned runs in eight innings pitched to improve his record to 3-2 on
the season.
"He doesn't have the body of an Olympic athlete, but he
plays baseball like an Olympian," said Bryan Price after the win. "(He
is) as advertised. If anyone would have seen him for the first time, who
said, 'hey, Johnny Cueto is pitching, let's go down and see him', wasn't
Cueto is the first Reds pitcher to throw at least eight
innings in four consecutive appearances since Jose Rijo in 1990.
Ryan Ludwick and Brandon Phillips returned to the line-up
after a night off on Friday and combined for five hits in seven at bats.
"It's still early," said
Phillips after his three-hit night. "You know, we've got a lot of haters
out there, especially a lot of people hating on me. It is what it is,
man, I know what I can do and, hopefully, we can continue doing what we're
doing right now and make the fans happy."
The Reds have pulled within a half game of the second place
St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds can win the series with the Brewers with a
win on Sunday.

The food on the ship was totally as expected, and the service in the dinning room was outstanding. Although we like having early seating, we had late seating for the first four nights. Fauzi, our waiter was outstanding!! It was hard to move to early seating and having a new waiter, but it was two tables over and he came over every night to say hello. The most disappointing thing for us (there are 8 of us that cruise together) was that we requested early seating the first day. It was not until the fifth day and a call to the restaurant manager that we finally were able to move and we found out that table was open for the entire cruise.
The shows were great! Liz Callaway, the singer was fantastic. Jason Bishop, the illusionist was excellent, but the best show was by far James Stephens III. This show as funny and totally entertaining!! Of course the singers and dancers on the ship were also very talented and present excellent and enjoyable shows. The cruise director, Alexander, was great! He made announcements as necessary and never tried to sell you something with every announcement.
The Summit, although refurbished, still shows it age and needs some additional upgrades. We asked about a tour of the bridge and were told that there is a tour - for $150 per person, the included the bridge and other areas not usually open to the public. What happened to the free bridge tours?
But overall the ship was clean, the food was good, the service was great and the shows were highly enjoyable. The port in Bermuda was very nice and having the three days there allowed time to explore the island. Since our cruise was early May the weather was not very accommodating as the temperature never got about 72 degrees and there was rain, but the cruise line has no control over the weather.
We are looking forward to our next Celebrity cruise and planning on many more about Celebrity!!

Greed (Avarice) is the desire for material gain. It is similar to Gluttony and Envy, but gain rather than consumption or possession is key. Aquinas condemned Greed because "it is a sin directly against one's neighbor, since one man cannot over-abound in external riches, without another man lacking them...it is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, inasmuch as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things."
Religious authorities today seem to rarely condemn how the rich in the capitalist (and Christian) West possess much while the poor (in both the West and elsewhere) possess little. This may be because greed in various forms is as basis for modern capitalist economics upon which Western society is based and Christian churches today are thoroughly integrated into that system. Serious, sustained criticism of greed would ultimately lead to sustained criticism of capitalism, and few Christian churches appear to be willing to take the risks that would come with such a stance.
Consider, for example, the close political connections between capitalist leaders and conservative Christians in the Republican Party. What would happen to this alliance if conservative Christians began condemning greed and gluttony with the same fervor they currently direct against lust? Opposing greed and capitalism would make Christians counter-cultural in an way they haven't been since their earliest history and it's unlikely that they would turn against the financial resources the feed them and keep them so fat and powerful today. Many Christians today, especially conservative Christians, try to paint themselves and their conservative movement as "counter-cultural," but ultimately their alliance with social, political, and economic conservatives only serves to bolster the foundations of Western culture.
Greedy people, those guilty of committing the deadly sin of greed, will be punished in hell by being boiled alive in oil for all eternity. I don't see a connection between the sin of greed and the punishment of being boiled in oil, unless of course they are being boiled in rare, expensive oil. In that case, maybe it serves them right.

But it hasn't been easy for Rogers since then. His promotion, EliteXC, folded, leaving him without a job. He went from being a professional athlete fighting in front of millions to working at Sam's Club, and he wondered if his MMA career would ever resume.
On Saturday it finally will, as Rogers will fight Ron "Abongo" Humphrey for Strikeforce on Showtime. I interviewed Rogers this week about his time off, his thoughts on the fight and his future plans. The full interview is below.
Michael David Smith: You won the first MMA fight ever to be carried live on network TV. How significant do you think that is?
Brett Rogers: First and foremost, it was the most nervous I ever was in my life. While I was waiting around for the undercard to get over, I was so nervous. But I thought of it as an opportunity to go out there and put on a show, and that's what I did.
At the same time, that fight was in May of 2008. If I had told you then that you weren't going to fight again until April of 2009, I imagine you would have been disappointed.
Yeah, I would have been pretty disappointed. It's been a long time. It's been tough, but I knew this wasn't something I could give up on. It's something I love to do. Fighting is fun, and I'm working hard on being more than just a fighter, developing all my MMA skills. I think I'll show that this weekend.
You're a big puncher, and you've used punches to win every fight. Do you also have a ground game?
Yes. Most of the time I was off I was working on my jiu jitsu. In fact, I kind of put the stand-up game behind me so much that I was worried that I might have lost something in my timing on the stand-up. My ground game is very good, it's just that nobody has pushed me to use it. But I'm working at a gym where my coaches are pushing me to improve my ground game. It's coming together.
And since you weren't fighting the last 10 months, I understand that in addition to improving your ground game you took a job at Sam's Club?
Yeah, I've been working there for quite some time and I got lucky that they took me back on before it was time for me to come out and fight again. It's just a job, though. I don't want that to be my career. It's difficult to work those hours and then fit in my training time, plus my family time. I want to get to the point where all I'm thinking about is working on my training.
When you look back at EliteXC, why do you think it failed?
I think it failed because they put too much into one person, and that person wasn't able to do what they needed. I knew as a fighter it was just a matter of time before their star guy would fall. People talked about me fighting Kimbo Slice, and of course I would fight Kimbo, but I don't think the organization should ever have relied on that one person. I think that was the downfall. There was a lot of s**t that was going on and I don't think I would ever want to be in an organization that was just relying on one person.
There was talk that you might fight Josh Barnett at the last Affliction show. Was that close to actually happening?
It actually was. I got to the point where I was behind on bills, it was tough, and I wanted to work. I was ready to go. Barnett is definitely a top fighter. If he wants to stand he can stand, if he wants to go to the ground he's good on the ground, so I was training pretty hard for that. I'm aiming to fight guys above me who can make me better.
Do you think you're ready for a fighter of Barnett's caliber?
As long as I'm consistently training, I'm ready for whoever. As long as I know in advance who I'm training for, I'm going to come in ready for that person.
Why did the Barnett fight fall through?
Basically, the fight between me and Barnett would have worked, it was just a conflict between contracts. They were willing to work with me, but my contract was holding me back.
What do you know about your upcoming opponent, Ron Humphrey?
Ron Humphrey, Abongo Humphrey, whatever you want to call him, I don't know too much about him, but I imagine he's going to come out real hard -- real hyper. He looks like he wants to focus mainly on his kickboxing skills. He's dangerous. Sometimes it's about who fights the hardest and he'll come out hard.
Your record is obviously impressive, but I'd like to see you fight a higher-ranked opponent. Do you have your eye on any particular opponents?
After the Humphrey fight, I'd just like to fight someone who's higher in the rankings -- someone ranked higher than me. I need that challenge to keep me on my toes. Fighting someone better than me will make me work that much harder. Definitely I'd like to fight Paul Buentello or Alistair Overeem. Anybody that's supposed to be better than me I'd like to get in there and bang with them. But that doesn't mean I'm going to go out there and overlook Abongo. He's got the heart and determination to come out there and fight, and maybe he can be the first person to push me past the first round. I don't even know what the second round feels like.
How much do you weigh right now?
Right now probably 275, so I've still got to lose a little weight. But losing 10 pounds is a piece of cake for me. I can sweat most of that out. I come in there heavy. I always come in there heavy. Humphrey is going to be 230 or 240 or something, he wants to be that lighter, quicker guy, so I'm going to put that weight on him and slow him down. I plan on having fun with this guy on Saturday night.
What do you hope to accomplish in MMA?
I just want other fighters to know that The Grim is in the game to hurt, to smash, to win.

If you've been diagnosed with endometriosis, your doctor may recommend an endometriosis resection (removal of endometrial implants/uterine lining) or a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). If you are considering surgery, ask your doctor about minimally invasive da Vinci Surgery.
With the da Vinci System, surgeons operate through a few small incisions instead of a large open incision - similar to traditional laparoscopy. The da Vinci System features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and special wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, da Vinci enables your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.
As a result of da Vinci technology, da Vinci Endometriosis Resection offers the following potential benefits, which are similar to those offered by traditional laparoscopy:
da Vinci's 3D HD vision system allows surgeons to see key anatomy with depth and clarity – critical to removing deep endometrial tissue implants. State-of-the-art da Vinci uses the latest in surgical and robotics technologies and is beneficial for performing complex surgery. Your surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body.
Physicians have used the da Vinci System successfully worldwide in approximately 1.5 million various surgical procedures to date. da Vinci is changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
Potential risks of any endometriosis resection procedure include:
In addition, there are risks related to minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Endometriosis Resection, such as hernia (bulging tissue at incision site) and pulmonary embolism (blocked lung artery).1
If you plan to have a hysterectomy – removal of the uterus - you may be a candidate for da Vinci Hysterectomy. As a result of da Vinci technology, potential benefits of da Vinci Hysterectomy compared to traditional open surgery include:
Potential benefits of da Vinci Hysterectomy compared to traditional laparoscopy include:
State-of-the-art da Vinci uses the latest in surgical and robotics technologies and is beneficial for performing complex surgery. Your surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body. da Vinci – taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand.
Potential risks of any hysterectomy procedure include:
In addition to these risks, there are risks related to minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery for hysterectomy, such as hernia (bulging tissue at incision site).7
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci Surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious and life-threatening complications, which may require hospitalization, include injury to tissues or organs; bleeding; infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Patients should understand that risks of surgery include potential for human error and potential for equipment failure. Risk specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: a longer operative time; the need to convert the procedure to an open approach; or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure to open could mean a longer operative time, long time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Research suggests that there may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Patients who bleed easily, have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery. Other surgical approaches are available. Patients should review the risks associated with all surgical approaches. They should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci is right for them.

"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"Had second thoughts but when the card came it was absolutely beautiful. The pictures are a good size and they allowed me to showcase my 2 children and all their activities. My only complaint is that the box for my christmas 'letter' was a little small. The card stock is very thick and luxurious and made an impact when delivered. Everyone thought that the card was stunning. This is my third christmas with tiny prints and always wonder if they can get better. Every card has been different from the other and they have never failed to impress. thanks!"
"I really liked my cards, and the people who received then had very favorable comments. The only thing I would change would be the ability to add text boxes where I want them and to make the text box larger if I need it to be."
"I couldn't be happier with this card! I've been sending holiday cards through Tiny Prints for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of the products but I have to say that this card is my very favorite of all! I love the bright colors and unique design and how every photo just naturally blended beautifully with the rich color palate. This is a very busy time of year for me at work and Tiny Prints makes it possible for me to send cards to friends and family by offering the "address and mail " option, saving me precious time that I can't spare. It's so worth it!"
"I used this card for my business Holiday cards, and I could not be more pleased with the wonderful quality, not only of the paper quality which was thick and sturdy, but also of the photo and text quality which was absolutely beautiful! The shipping was on time and quick. I have received many thanks from my customers who were all pleased and gave many compliments on the beauty of the card itself. Thank you Tiny Prints! I plan to use you again and again!"

The sim on each GCD will check what is the better to do according to the priority set up. Most of the premade include Frost Fever and Blood Plague as top priority. So the sim will use the best ability to put it on the mob.
Normally, PS is used to set Blood Plague, IT to set Frost Fever but if you have selected Glyph of Howling Blast, HB is used to set Frost Fever.

By default all raid buff are enabled.
The player is acting like not providing any raid buff. Imp Icy Talons, Abomination's Might, Horn and Ebon Plague Bringer do not provide the raid buff.
In Blood presence, the sim will collect some threat data and report them.
Avoidance influence Scent of blood proc, and Bone shield up time.
Allow you to select for which stats you want an EP value. The EP value are given relative to DPS. that means the result will be for 1 of a stat how much it give me dps. The value can be exported to external tools like Pawn for in game items comparison. The EP given for trinket are only accounting the proc and not the static stat. How the sim is calculating EP value:
A first simulation is done with the character config giving a DPS called baseDPS. Then for each stats a simulation is run by adding 50 (default value) of this stat on the character.
EP is given by the formula: EP stat = (StatDPS - baseDPS)/50
A sim is run with a weapon 0.1 second lower and compare it to previous results.
EP is given by the formula: EP stat = (WeaponSpeedDPS - baseDPS)/0.1
A sim is run with a weapon 10 dps higher and compare it to previous results.
EP is given by the formula: EP stat = (WeaponDPSDPS - baseDPS)/10
3 simulations are done to calculate this one. One with the character at expertise cap (ExpertiseRatingCap) and one it take the character with Expertise cap minus 50 (ExpertiseRating).
EP is given by the formula: EP stat = (ExpertiseRatingCap - ExpertiseRating )/50
If you have selected frost presence, the sim generate also a run called ExpertiseRatingAfterCap that take the character with Expertise cap plus 50.
EP is given by the formula: EP stat = (ExpertiseRatingAfterCap - ExpertiseRatingCap)/50
note: As the sim don't take the character real Expertise rating, this explains why a player with high expertise (after the cap) can have an value not null.
Multiple simulations are done to calculate those value. One with the character at melee hit cap, 8% Nerves of cold steel included (HitRatingCap) one with the character at melee hit cap minus 50 hit rating (HitRating) then one with the character at melee hit cap plus 28 hit rating (SpellHitRating).
If the option to have hit value after spell hit is checked, 2 other simulations are generated; Character at spell hit cap (AfterSpellHitBase), Character at spell hit cap plus 50 hit rating(AfterSpellHitRating).
Hit before melee hit cap = (HitRatingCap-HitRating )/50
Hit after melee hit cap = (SpellHitRating - HitRatingCap)/28
Hit after spell hit cap = (AfterSpellHitRating- AfterSpellHitBase)/50
note: As the sim don't take the character real hit rating rating, this explains why a player with high hit rating can seems incorrect.
Select for which stat you want and the sim will run 50 simulations incrementing each stats by 20 at each simulation to see how the stats scale. Choosing "replace stats" make sims from 0 to 1000 rating, choosing "add stats" add to the character config file 0 to 1000 (e.g. ArP at 250, the sim test with 250 to 1250 ArP rating). It might be a good way to see when ArP become better than Strength.
The report is generated under graphical form on the report tab. Select on the bottom of it which stat you want to compare.
Due to how the value are generated, if you let the default 100 hours simulation time, you will have accurate result but this will take very long.
There you can see your strength, rating, which proc/bonus have been recognize by the sim.
Checking manual input will allow you modify stat of procs.
This is where the Reforge Optimizer is hidden. Enter your EP value and caps and the sim will try to find the better combination using EP. It's long and it's due to how it have been coded.
It will generate for each reforgeable items a combination of at least 3 possibles reforge then mix it. Which for 17 slots, is 3^17 or 129,140,163 possibilities. And that takes some time to do it.
The only interesting tools in this tab is the "wipe data" button which will try to clean up some of your old profile, spec and priority.
Here is details on the less obvious Priorities available in the sim.
- Disease: Blood Plague and Frost fever are applied or refreshed the best way possible regarding to your config.i.e. it use Howling Blast is glyphed.
- BloodTap: Use blood tap whenever it's available. Not recommend due to Boneshield/PoF interaction.
- DRMObliterate / DRMDeathStrike: Force the sim to use OB or DS only to convert them to Death Rune.
- Rime: Use Hownling blast only on rime proc.
- DeathCoilMaxRp: Cast DC when charater is at max RP.
- KMFrostStrike/KMObliterate: Cast those abilities only on Killing machine proc.
- FadeRime: Make sure you don't waste a Rime proc and cast it before the rime proc fades.
How do I say the sim to use Gargoyle or DRW or summon gargoyle?
The sim cast those spell only if talented instead of a Death Coil. This assure the runes/rotation are not mixed up when casting it.

Directed by Bryan Conger, the limited engagement continues through May 5.
"We will only have ten actors playing all the characters," said director Conger in an earlier statement. "Ultimately, it is a story about change and the transformative power we can have on another human being."
The cast includes Julia Osborne (Lincoln Center Theater's national tour of South Pacific) as Eliza Doolittle, Michael McKenzie (The Man Who Came to Dinner, Waiting in the Wings) as Henry Higgins, Bill Raulerson as Colonel Pickering and Nick Cartell (Jesus Christ Superstar) as Freddy.
Here's how Triad bills the classic: "Henry Higgins is rich. Eliza Doolittle is poor. He's proper. She's common. He's educated. She's streetwise. But a boastful bet will change both their lives forever. As he transforms the lowly flower girl into a sophisticated lady, they discover more about themselves than they ever expected. From cockney weddings to the street where you live, Triad Stage re-imagines this unlikely love story with an intimate, inventive approach."
Triad Stage is also using a two-piano version of the score arranged by Loewe's dance arranger, Trude Rittman. In keeping the music simple, Triad Stage is "keeping all of what audiences love about this classic while allowing them to explore the story in a way they have never experienced."
Triad will offer pay-what-you-can performances April 16-17; a sign-interpreted performance, with services provided by the Greensboro Communication Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, April 23; PostScript, a discussion with the cast, April 18; and The InSight Series, with a noted expert who will be discussing the world of the play, April 14. For My Fair Lady, Dr. Bob Hansen, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and professor of Theatre at UNCG, will be speaking about the Golden Age of Musical Theatre.
The Pyrle Theater is located at 232 South Elm Street in downtown Greensboro, NC. For more information and tickets, call (336) 272-0160 or visit TriadStage.org.

Danny Joe Swindle, 53, was being tried in Walker County Circuit Court on charges of raping an 11-year-old girl when he abruptly changed his plea to guilty. He was also facing two counts of sexual abuse of a child.
Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said Wednesday afternoon that three witnesses had already testified Tuesday against Swindle when the decision was made to change his plea.
Swindle was sentenced by Circuit Judge Doug Farris Wednesday morning to 20 years for the rape, with five years to be served in prison. He was also sentenced to 10 years on each of the counts of sexual abuse, with one year on each count to be served in prison. The seven years will be served consecutively, Adair said.
"After the jury had been selected and was in the jury box, testimony had started and we were three witnesses in when he decided he wanted to plead guilty," Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said Wednesday afternoon.
Officials at the Walker County District Attorney's Office first learned of the rape allegations in Nov. 2010 when Swindle was being investigated for allegedly threatening the life of President Barack Obama. As part of a Secret Service investigation into the threat, officials learned that Swindle had been accused of raping and sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl more than 20 years ago.
Adair said circumstances surrounding the case were not ordinary. The victim had told someone of the rape but was not believed at the time.
"This was an unusual case in how it originated. This was a secret in this family that probably would have been kept forever if it hadn't been for the defendant doing something crazy to get this case looked at," Adair said. "This was a case of a child 'who fell.' But in reality, this was a child who was being abused. In so many cases, the perpertrator or the family said the child fell and injured themselves. But in reality, these injuries were caused by rape."
That, Adair said, further proves the importance of the Walker County Child Advocacy Center. "I would urge all people — teachers, medical professionals, church leaders — when children make these kind of allegations, call the district attorney's office, call the children's advocacy center or police. A lot of times when there's things going on and allegations being made, things need to be looked at," Adair said. "This is a good example of that."
Adair said despite the amount of time it took for Swindle to be tried for his crimes, he's pleased with the outcome. "We're very pleased with the outcome of this case," he said. "Obviously, this is a case that's 20 years old, and we're trying to get a lot of the older cases brought to trial in order to get justice for these victims. We're very pleased for the victim to finally get justice."

Western Connecticut Health Network, which includes Danbury and New Milford hospitals, moved ahead Tuesday with its plans to affiliate with Norwalk Hospital.
Officials from both Norwalk Hospital and the network signed the formal affiliation agreement Tuesday afternoon in Norwalk.
"We're thrilled," said Dr. John Murphy, president and chief executive officer of the network.
The state Office of Health Care Access and the Federal Trade Commission must now sign off on the agreement.
Until then, Norwalk Hospital and the network are limited in how much they can collaborate, said Dan DeBarba Jr., the president and CEO of Norwalk Hospital.
But they can concentrate on laying the groundwork for their affiliation, he said.
"On Day One, we'll be on the ground running," DeBarba said.
With that approval, the network will expand to serve an area including southern Litchfield County and much of Fairfield County, as well as towns along the Connecticut-New York border. According to the health network, it will offer care to about 620,000 people.
"It will be a pretty big chuck of western Connecticut," DeBarba said.
Combined, the three hospitals will have 784 beds, a staff of 1,300 physicians, and more than 6,000 employees.
Under the reorganization, Murphy will be president and CEO of the entire network. DeBarba will remain president and CEO of Norwalk Hospital and become executive vice president of the network.
Erv Shames, a member of the Norwalk Hospital Board of Trustees, will lead the network's Board of Trustees.
Norwalk Hospital and the health network had announced in April 2011, that they had begun talks aimed at affiliation. They two spent the next eight months in due diligence — studying each other's financial and operational records to learn if they wanted to proceed with the union.
"We wanted to be very careful," DeBarba said. "Once you enter into an agreement like this, there's no turning back."
The announcement Tuesday mirrors the agreement Danbury and New Milford hospitals reached in July, 2010. Deborah Weymouth now holds the position of chief executive of New Milford Hospital and senior vice president of the network.
The three nonprofit hospitals are joining into a network to allow sharing of services and training, in hopes of offering better and more efficient care at a lower cost.
Because of the changes happening in health care in the United States in general, and with the onset of the Affordable Care Act in 2014, at least half of the state's 31 hospitals are now affiliated with a larger network.
DeBarba said that at the start, the affiliation will provide efficiencies in hospital administration and in purchasing supplies.
But he also said the union of the three hospitals will provide them with access to specialists they might not have on staff.
Murphy said that in some cases, doctors with subspecialities might not have enough patients in any one hospital to establish a thriving practice. With all three hospitals cooperating, that becomes more of a possibility, as participating in medical research and trials, Murphy said.
"It could be with cancer, with heart disease, with lupus, with Lyme disease," he said.
Murphy also said the affiliation can benefit if the three hospitals work to establish top-quality standards in medical care across the boards.
"If we can identify best practices, let's share them," he said.
Having a larger network also gives the doctors in all three hospitals greater opportunity for medical education and for sharing in research work. That, in turn, means the network can attract the best doctors to the area.
Having a larger network will also allow the hospitals to withstand some of the changes coming in health care, Murphy said. If, as expected, the federal government cuts funding for teaching hospitals, then being in a larger network will allow Danbury and Norwalk, both teaching institutions, to share resources.
Federal reimbursement for health care soon will move from paying doctors and hospitals for the number of procedures they perform and toward payments based on how well patients do after receiving medical care.
Figuring out how that system will work will take as many good minds as possible, Murphy said.
"There will be a need for intellectual capital," he said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Members of Arkansas' congressional delegation say they still oppose gay marriage despite the U.S. Supreme Court striking down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay couples and clearing the way for same-sex marriage to resume in California.
The state's congressmen and senators said Wednesday they still support the amendment Arkansas voters approved in 2004 defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
Justices on Wednesday tossed out a part of the Defense of Marriage Act that prevented legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits. The court didn't rule on California's same-sex marriage ban, leaving in place a trial court's ruling that it's unconstitutional.
Opponents of Arkansas' ban said they hoped the decision would help change minds about the issue.

Weequay Pirates
This band of space pirates haunts the shipping lanes of the lawless Outer Rim Territories, in search of cargos to steal and travelers to hold for ransom. They have prospered just enough to maintain a stronghold on a sulfurous world, where they keep stores of grog, food, and other comforts. During the ongoing Clone Wars, the pirates attempted to remain neutral lest they get too drawn into an unprofitable conflict.
A harsh, arid desert world in the Outer Rim Territories, Florrum is off the beaten path of major galactic hyperspace routes, making it the perfect haven for hunted criminals or lawless thugs. During the Clone Wars, Hondo Ohnaka ran a profitable salvage and piracy operation out of Florrum. His affairs crossed paths with the Jedi on more than one occasion.
Felucia is a world teeming with fungal life-forms and immense primitive plants. Much of the planet has a fetid, humid landscape overgrown by forests of bizarre wilderness. Many of the life-forms on Felucia are partially or completely translucent; they color the sunlight as the beams penetrate their skin. Others are opaque and imposing, like the enormous jungle rancors that roam the landscape. Beneath the hazy canopies of the enormous pitcher plants and leafy growths is a surreal color-drenched expanse. During the Clone Wars, the Jedi attempted to defend Felucia from those who would exploit the planet.
Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka Tano, a Togruta female, was the Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker and a hero of the Clone Wars. Alongside Anakin, she grew from headstrong student into a mature leader. But her destiny laid along a different path than the Jedi.
AAT Battle Tank
The marriage of repulsorlift technology and heavy armor has resulted in formidable floating tanks known as AATs. These assault tanks form the frontline of Trade Federation armored infantry divisions, as well as Separatist forces during the Clone Wars. A crew of battle droids drives the battle tank and operates the array of laser and projectile weaponry carried by the vehicle.
Hondo Ohnaka
A tough, pragmatic Weequay, Hondo Ohnaka leads a notorious Outer Rim pirate gang from his headquarters on Florrum. A former colleague of Jango Fett and a former lover of Aurra Sing, Ohnaka won fame during the Clone Wars when he kidnapped Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker and tried to ransom all three for a big payout. Since that incident, he maintained a peculiar relationship with the Republic -- respecting the Jedi Knights, but not being above robbing them blind or betraying them. He was, after all, a pirate through-and-through.

Mashatu Game Reserve is located in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve of Botswana bordering South Africa. It is the embodiment of all that defines Africa. Space so open and vast, taking it all in is almost too much; an array of wildlife from the gigantic to the miniscule; majestic skies open to the universe and unfettered by smog; a quiet so loud it thrums with life; and unexpected adventure beyond the game drive with horse-back safaris, cycling safaris and walks in the wild.
The Mashatu Game Reserve camps are an expression of the warm hospitality of Africa's people. Relaxation is key, regardless of whether your choice is the luxury of Mashatu Main Camp, or the rustic appeal of Mashatu Tent Camp.
Safari vehicles meander into the bush twice a day, bringing visitors into close contact with an Africa that is largely known only in wildlife documentaries and glossy books. But this Africa is real, and distinctly tangible through all six senses.
Mashatu Game Reserve is a place to connect you to the essence of what life is meant to be. Uncomplicated, bold, and beautiful.
Effective 16 September 2013: Please be advised that Botswana Immigration no longer accepts temporary or emergency passports. There are no exceptions to this and you will be turned away at the border should you not be in possession of a valid passport.

Miami Herald Reports Armon Binns is OUT for the year with torn ACL + MCL
Am told Dolphins WR Armon Binns suffered torn ACL and MCL today. Out for season. Likely would have been Fins' No. 4 receiver.#dolphins— Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) July 28, 2013
Both Adam Beasley and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald report hearing Armon Binns is out for the year with a torn ACL + MCL, despite the fact that he was able to walk off the field after suffering his leg injury earlier today. This is bad news for one of the star performers of training camp and presumed WR4 for the Dolphins this season. The hope is that Rishard Matthews (also injured, though his injury believed to be more minor), Marvin McNutt, and perhaps Brian Tyms and Jeff Fuller can step up.

Burst pipe causing delays in Sale
2:47pm Friday 4th January 2013 in News
SALE motorists are being warned that burst pipe on the A56, Cross Street, is likely to cause delays.
The incident has resulted in the closure of two lanes outside The Volunteer pub and there is currently only one lane open in each direction.
A Trafford Council spokesman said United Utilities will be working throughout the weekend and into next week to fix the problem, with work planned for completion by Thursday, January 10.
Park Avenue, in Sale, is also being closed, with access only provided.
The council thanks motorists for their patience while this issue is resolved.

A new display set to go up in city buildings is stirring up debate over how the American flag should be presented.The presentation by artist Sheila Pree Bright features photographs of young people exhibiting "Old Glory" in some unorthodox manners. In one photo, a man is draped in the flag. It is set to be displayed at numerous places, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and some public school buildings.Atlanta City Councilmember Alex Wan voted against allowing the display in public buildings. "It's art. It's meant to invoke a conversation, and where I had an issue with the fact that the United States flag code explicitly says not to wear the flag as apparel," Wan said. Other City Council members voted to allow the display. "People shouldn't get caught up on necessarily how it's presented, but just always remember that we're free to present it any way we like," said City Councilmember Michael Bond. The majority of City Council voted to approve the display. Only two members, Alex Wan and Felicia Moore, voted against it.

Dowson: Time will tell if Ks clearout was right move
8:27pm Tuesday 11th December 2012 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Kingstonian boss Alan Dowson says only time will tell if this week's sweeping changes at Kingsmeadow were the right decision.
Defender Nathan Green, midfielder Harry Harding, centre back Callum McNaughton – on-loan from AFC Wimbledon – and youngster Jack Barton have all arrived in the last seven days, with Sam Clayton, Tommy Hutchinson, Byron Napper and Dominic Sterling heading out the door.
The moves brought instant rewards in the Ryman Premier League when Andre McCollin's penalty accounted for Bognor Regis Town 1-0 on Saturday, before Kieran Murphy and Matt Pattison struck for a 2-1 win over Hendon on Monday night.
And Dowson, who takes his side to Cray Wanderers on Sunday, admitted last week's 2-1 Surrey Senior Cup exit to Corinthian Casuals was the catalyst.
"I was absolutely distraught after going out of the cup," he said.
"I've always had the backing of the board – they have been brilliant to men– but even they were saying 'what is going on?' after that.
"We needed to make the changes because we want to push on this year. It has worked – for now.
"I'll not get carried away. We'll only know if it was the right thing to do at the end of the season."
