Interrupting the Tenure Clock
At times tenure-track faculty may experience difficulties in progressing towards tenure due to medical, child-care or elder-care issues. The University permits tenure-track faculty to elect either to reduce their effort to reflect the reduction in the amount of time they would be working with a comparable reduction in salary, or to transfer to a qualified academic title (e.g. Research Assistant Professor, Lecturer, Visiting Assistant Professor). A transfer to a qualified title would mean a faculty member would be meeting their full-time obligation to the department but would be relieved of the additional commitment necessary for progress towards tenure.
A faculty member who wishes to stop his/her tenure clock should submit a Request For Interruption of Tenure-Track Service (click here for pdf form) to the department chair attaching a brief written explanation for the need to stop the tenure clock. This statement should not reveal information of a private and/or confidential nature. The form with the department chair's endorsement is forwarded to the Dean (where appropriate) and the Dean would forward the form with his/her endorsement to the Provost. Copies of the form with the Provost's decision would be sent to the Dean, Dept. Chair and the faculty member.
Requests for interrupting the clock may be made for periods of up to one year and may be broken into no more than two segments (ie., one full academic year, one full calendar year, or two sequential fall or spring semesters).

INDIANAPOLIS — The Pyramid Players have announced that "Pinkalicious, the Musical" will make its debut at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre during its 40th anniversary season. The show opens Feb. 16 and is appropriate for children of all ages.
Pinkalicious loves pink and wants everything in her life to be pink. Her dream is to radiate pink. After over indulging in pink cupcakes, she wakes up pink. She is thrilled to be pink and have her dream come true. Her parents take her to the doctor, and she is diagnosed with pinkititis. On the way home, Pinkalicious plays at the playground but is attacked by birds and bees when she is mistaken for a pink flower. Her best friend doesn't even recognize her as she is camouflaged in the garden. At home, she eats another cupcake, and the next morning she wakes up red and develops pink eye pinkititis whereby she can only see the color pink. Now she must do something to fix her predicament.
She bravely follows the doctor's order to eat green food. Due to her new resolve, Pinkalicious is transformed back to normal. Pinkalicious has learned self-control and to be careful for what you wish for. Her brother, on the other hand, has eaten the last cupcake, turns pink, and shouts with glee: Pink-A-Boo!
"Pinkalicious, the Musical" opens the 2013 Live Theatre for Kids series at Beef & Boards and is on stage through March 16. Pyramid Players productions are one hour in length and presented without intermission. Performances are for all ages, but offered particularly for children in preschool through sixth grade. Children have the opportunity to meet the cast of after each show for pictures and autographs.
Performances take place at 10 a.m. on Fridays and at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturdays. All tickets are $15.50 and include a snack. For reservations, contact the box office at 872-9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. Beef & Boards is at 9301 N. Michigan Road.

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

I was employee No. 6 in a tech startup during the dot-com boom. At that point, we did not have an IT staff because everyone in the company could set up and maintain the small network we needed.
But as the company grew to over 100 employees, we built an IT department and hired a director of IT, "Al." Soon after, systems started to get turned over to Al and his team. In many cases, this was an appropriate move.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Batten down the hatches, there's an IT rogue on the loose! Here's how to spot admins gone bad and how to minimize the fallout. | Get a new tech tale in your inbox every week in InfoWorld's Off the Record newsletter or follow Off the Record on Twitter. ]
But in other cases, Al didn't have the training or knowledge to do the job, and many of the systems he didn't know much about had been set up and controlled by employees who were still at the company. He insisted on having control of those as well. Also, it soon became apparent that Al was quick to blame others when problems occurred, rather than helping to solve them. Tensions between Al and other departments started to grow.
My specialty was marketing communications, and we'd set up a website that provided a variety of information to help build our brand name and collect a database of prospective customers. The operation of the website was turned over to IT, but I maintained the title of "Webmaster" to handle direct communications with our site visitors.
One business concern was the database of prospects. In those days, we spent more than a quarter of a million dollars designing and building the website, and another quarter-million or so per month attracting new visitors to the site so that we could increase the database. One critical part of the database spec was the backup. We gave Al's team the technical requirements, they chose the technology for the backup, and we took Al's assurances that the backups were being done.
Late one evening, I received a panicked call from someone else in the marketing department. We were still in startup mode, so people worked very long hours and the office was still full. I drove back to find Al calling me out to everyone he encountered in the office.

A man who pleaded guilty to beating his girlfriend's father to death is facing new charges.
Prosecutors say 22-year-old Brandon Church killed Kerry Deyo for trying to protect his daughter in July 2011. Church pleaded guilty to second-degree murder just three days into his trial.
Friday Church was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Church is also facing several new charges filed just this month in Platte County. Since his arrest for the murder, he has been charged with the Class D felony of endangering a corrections employee.
Court documents say on Jan. 1, 2014, deputies said Church spit onto the face of a deputy, intentionally causing his saliva to go into the deputy's eye. The deputy had to get medical treatment. According to court documents, Church also fought with other inmates and threatened to assault or kill staff members.
Church is also charged with the Class D felony of damaging jail property. Deputies say on Aug. 18, 2011 Church purposely damaged the window of a cell that cost about $425 to replace.
In May prosecutors also charged Church with felony assault and armed criminal action for another beating that happened just eight days before the murder of his girlfriend's father.
According to court documents, on July 14, 2011 Church got into an argument with a man in the 5500 block of Meadowvale Drive in Kansas City, MO. Investigators say Church hit the victim over the head with a glass bottle, struck him with pots and pans, hit him with his fists, choked him and beat him with a baseball bat. The victim in that case had to get four staples in the top and back of his head.
Church could face up to life in prison for the beating death of Deyo.
"This defendant literally beat to death his girlfriend's father, merely because the father was trying to protect his daughter. He committed a horrendous crime and deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison," said Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd.
Evidence at trial showed that around midnight on July 22, 2011, Church and Deyo got into an altercation after Church returned with Deyo's daughter from the Platte County Fair. Church put Deyo into a headlock, choked Deyo, and pulled him forcibly to the ground.
Dr. B. Robert Pietak, the Jackson County medical examiner, testified that Deyo suffered a broken neck and was likely paralyzed after being choked by Church. Church then straddled Deyo and repeatedly punched him in the head and face while he lay on a hardwood floor. A witness said Deyo was not moving as Church beat Deyo.
Pietak testified that Deyo suffered significant head wounds and died from multiple blunt force trauma. Church then kicked Deyo, saying "I think he's dead."
After rifling through Deyo's pockets, Church fled. He was arrested by Platte County Sheriff's Deputies and the Missouri State Highway Patrol less than two hours later.
While being transported to the Platte County Jail, Church laughed about killing Deyo, according to court documents. Church also threatened another member of the Deyo family.
"This defendant showed no remorse after he brutally beat a man to death. Instead, he laughed about it and threatened to beat another family member," Zahnd said.
Church faces up to life in prison for the murder, and Zahnd said he would seek a life sentence in the case. Church is scheduled to be sentenced on May 16 at 1 p.m. in Platte County.

Baked Ravioli
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, or oregano
- 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 pounds store-bought frozen ravioli
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add thyme and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, breaking up tomatoes with spoon, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 5 1/2 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water just until they float to the top (pasta will continue to cook in oven). Drain pasta; return to pot.
Step 3
Toss sauce with pasta. Pour pasta into a large gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Delicious! Easy to prepare and makes a lot. Made exactly as directed except a Vidalia onion was used instead of a regular onion. The substitute gave the dish a subtle sweet favor. Served with a salad and garlic bread. Would definitely make again!

This recipe sounds so delicious. For those of you having trouble finding the print icon, I was too. Then I tried this: go to the very top of the page, then scroll down so you see about an inch at the top of the scroll bar, and suddenly this new options bar appears at the top with the print icon on the right. Yay.
nicekid21 Aug, 2013
Sounds delicious. Will definitely make this. Even my pasta hating guy likes ravioli. The print icon is right on the top of the page on the far right of the line that has "intro", "ingredients", "directions" on the left and on the far right after the pinterest and facebook etc. icons is the print icon. Mind you it really doesn't look like a printer I just clicked on it out of frustration.

I don't have a print icon either. I was going to Pin this recipe and the "Pin" just disappeared!

This looks like a great recipe, but since you changed the format, I am no longer able to print your recipes. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT! This format is impracticle & utilizes too much paper for one simple recipe.
agrubb1521 Aug, 2013
I've made this ravioli casserole several times. It is so simple and quick! It's like lasagna without the need to buy ricotta because it's already in the raviolis. Very important, make sure you use a frozen ravioli that you like. I usually make a meat sauce since my fiance can't go a meal without having meat (he's from Texas). You can also use jarred sauce if you want. I also agree that it is a great meal to take to a friend in need. Just cover it and let them do the baking when they're ready.
coley22319 Mar, 2013
This is a good make ahead meal. Follow directions until the bake part. Cover and keep in the fridge until you are ready to bake/eat. Or, freeze... don't see why not.
This is the type of meal that's good to eat on a week night or bring to a friend in need. This isn't the type of meal I'd serve to company.
Makes enough for 2 families of 3-4, in my opinion (aka feeds 6-8).
jmillerrussell28 Jan, 2013
Anytime I find a recipe that is loved by adults and children alike, I give it a thumbs up. I served it on a bed of spinach, next time, I'll try using spinach and cheese ravioli. I did have too much sauce, however, put that in a container for next pasta night.
amk6712 Sep, 2012
If I used fresh ravioli, not frozen, could I just skip the boiling step?
Strawberry1 Aug, 2012
Ehh...it was okay....nothing crazy...probably won't make it again...
cinnybon18 Mar, 2012
This was delicious! I used spinach ravioli. While making the sauce, I added a bit of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

If you have leftover ravioli and sauce, whether you baked it or served it the "normal" way, try stirring the leftovers (including the sauce) into a can or two of Beef Consomm?

To the person who asked if you can freeze it....I think why not? We freeze lasagna all the time and this is basically the same. Sounds yummy and I am going to try it.

My husband and I LOVED this recipe. It's really god option for those nights when you want a home-cooked meal, but you're not wanted to make anything really involved. I'm not the biggest fan of tomato sauce, but this recipe tasted wonderful. I also added some bread crumbs to the top before I baked it, which gave a nice flavor and texture. This is definitley something I would make again!

Cook the ravioli first..decide to use oil in the sauce or not..you can add olive oil as a serving..I might try a more shallow pan than shown--Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese/or even use a Provolone(slices)/works much better with Ziti than Spagetti..I do the spagetti version on the stove top--adding the Mozzarella last.

I make baked ravioli with frozen raviolis. I do not even cook them. I just put some sauce in the bottom of the pan then add ravioli, mozzarella cheese and more sauce on top. Bake at 350 until bubbly. Very easy.

Another family favorite. This is a really easy weeknight recipe that would work for a party just as easily.

This dish is perfect to prepare when you know you've had a long day. It is so easy to make and it is happy to sit in the fridge overnight. There is nothing better than coming home, popping it into the oven, and 20 minutes later you have a soothing, comforting dish.

Track & field finishes strong day at Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup
Related Links
Juniors Bienna Freeman and Charlene Charles each set new program bests to highlight a strong day for the JU track & field team at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup.
Freeman set the new standard for the 800-meter with a time of 2:09.35 (1st). Charles broke her current pentathlon record after winning the event with 3,971 points. She took first in the 60-meter hurdles (8.88), high jump (5'7.25"), long jump (19'2.5") and 800-meter (2:19.74) for a point's total that will have her in the top 10 nationally.
"We had a very strong day across the board," JU head coach Ron Grigg said.
Junior Joane Pierre nearly broke her program mile record, running a 4:59.74 for seventh. She also finished third in the 800-meter in 2:11.42, while senior Amalia Vogler was sixth (2:13.15).
Junior Morgan Keel had a time of 5:02.91 (14th) in the mile and sophomore Svenja Meyer ran a 5:03.48 (16th) in the same event.
"The middle-distance group was exceptional," Grigg said. "Bienna had a great day in the 800-meter. Joanne, Svenja Meyer and Morgan Keel all ran good times the mile."
Pierre ended her busy day with freshman Courtney Walker, freshman Shadaey Campbell and sophomore LaTonya Payne in the 4x400-meter relay as they ran a season-best time of 3:47.70 (5th).
Courtney Walker also placed fifth in the 200-meter in 24.87 and sixth in the 60-meter in 7.62, while freshman Shanique Walker finished her day with a leap of 39'25" in the triple jump.
Senior Stacey Young placed sixth in the 60-meter hurdles (8.72). Freshman Petra Munkacsy was right behind Young in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.73.
Other top performers included junior Sara Schunter who posted a personal-best in the weight throw with a toss of 48'4.75" (15th). Senior Baliee Hedstrom along with Keel, Meyer and Vogler ran a 12:20.18 for third in the Distance Medley Relay.
The Dolphins will train for the next two weeks before heading to Johnson City, Tenn. in search of their seven straight conference title at the Atlantic Sun Indoor Track & Field Championships on Feb. 17.

Before Lionel Messi went all Lionel Messi on us, David Villa had probably been the best attacking player on the pitch, but he's off now as Pep Guardiola rubs in his two-goal advantage. Sergio Roberto makes his first appearance in the Champions League and his second for the Barcelona first team, and the Santiago Bernabeu is pretty unhappy about the obvious insult.
Anyway, Madrid are charging around rather aimlessly right now. They're not going to score before the match is over, and they're at a real disadvantage going into the next leg, having to overturn a 2-0 home loss. At least they haven't been as bad as Schalke were in their defeat to Manchester United, but there's absolutely no way to spin this into a positive result. The red card changed everything, and now it looks like we're going to have yet another United-Barcelona final at Wembley in May.
This is the third of four matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona. You can view our coverage of the April 16th and 20th match here and here, with live coverage of Real Madrid vs Barcelona on April 27 in this story stream.

We've heard a lot about the loss of Ryan Suter - how much is that hype versus actual impact on the team this year?
There has definitely been a real impact, due to the fact that Suter could play a tremendous amount in all sorts of situations. Roman Josi is doing a fine job stepping up as the leading puck-mover on the left side, but we've seen Scott Hannan play perhaps too large a role as the other Top Four lefty at even strength. While Hannan is a respectable stay-at-home type, his passing skills leave a lot to be desired, and many rushes up-ice get nipped in the bud by a Hannan pass that's off-target.
How do Preds fans feel about the proposed realignment?
Losing Detroit is a big deal to most fans in Nashville, the Red Wings have always been the biggest villain on the schedule, and the Predators just passed them for the first time last season, in terms of regular season standings and the playoff series. Some would also like to see a rivalry with the Florida teams and Carolina, but overall I think the new setup will work just fine. Nashville & Dallas in particular should be able to get a good thing going, think Juliette Barnes vs. Pamela Barnes... is that the kind of barn fight Brian Burke was thinking of?
Are the current offensive issues systemic, the product of good opposing goaltending or something in between?
I think it's fair to say there are indeed systemic issues with the Predators' attack. Last season they ranked as a Top 10 offense, but it was built on unreliably high shooting percentages (3rd in 5-on-5 play and 1st on the PP, if I recall). Now that those numbers have plummeted, the nature of the forward lines is being exposed. There is an abundance of hard-working muckers, but not enough guys who instinctively drive the puck to the net and try to create scoring chances. Instead, the preference tends to be to make sure the puck gets chipped in deep and then go after it.
Be sure to check out On The Forecheck for all the Predators coverage you could possibly want.

Bees third baseman Jason Taylor was named the Midwest League Player of the Week after slugging three home runs and driving in five. Taylor walked six times and stole four bases while batting .471. He also scored eight runs and had a triple.
Taylor reached base at least once every game during the week. Against the Quad Cities, he hit two home runs and stole two bases, the first time anyone in the minor leagues had accomplished that feat since 2005.
PITCHERS OF THE WEEK: Lansing's Kyle Ginley and Nathan Starner share this week's award.
Ginley went 2-0 in 12 2/3 innings. He allowed 10 hits, two runs — neither earned — walked two and struck out nine.
Starner was 1-0 in two games (13 innings). He gave up eight hits, no runs, walked two and struck out 14.
ROCKIN' ROSA: Former Burlington Bees player Carlos Rosa was named the Texas League Pitcher of the Week.
The Northwest Arkansas player threw eight shutout innings Friday, needing just 89 pitches — 59 going for strikes. Rosa gave up one hit, walked two and struck out nine.

Gales in south
Issued: 0530hrs Friday 22nd June 2012
Wet and windy with gales
Across Wales and southern England the wind will be the main weather feature. This is going to be reaching severe gale force with gusts of over 50mph. With trees in full leaf and the ground already sodden there is the threat of trees being uprooted and so extra care will be needed whether driving or walking.
Conditions should improve slowly through tonight and into Saturday, although there will still be rain in the north through Saturday.
Have a great day.

Plea agreement in child enticement case
A registered sex offender charged with child enticement and possession of child pornography entered a plea agreement with prosecutors Tuesday.
24 year old Matthew Crable of Bayard entered a no contest plea to a charge of enticement by electronic communication device, a Class ID felony.
Crable was arrested by the Nebraska State Patrol in September after an undercover investigation after a Morrill County Sheriff's deputy reported an 11 year old girl had been receiving text messages from an unknown man. The number was traced to Crable, a registered sex offender, who in 2011 entered a no contest plea to a charge of attempted sexual assault of a child after having consensual sex with a 15-year old girl in his pickup in rural Scotts Bluff County.
A State Patrol Investigator posed as a 13 year old girl and began communicating with Crable, who court records say transmitted lewd, lascivious and obscene language to the investigator. After asking the girl to meet him for sex, Crable was arrested and taken into custody at the arranged meeting location.
Three counts of possession of child pornography against Crable were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Sentencing for Crable is set for February 4th at 3:30 p.m.

sYnc A.C. and Flow A.C.
The sYnc A.C. and Flow A.C. suspension systems are featured on our Backpacking series packs and are highly acclaimed by many experts.These two frame systems are unique because the shoulder harness and the hipbelt are actually attached to the aluminum frame bar(s) and HDPE sheet. Both frame systems use our VariCant dual-pivoting/adjustable hipbelt so the pack moves with you in a balanced and natural motion that will never dig into your hips or pull on you. This offers a complete integrated frame system that carries weight far more efficiently than anything you've ever tried, we guarantee it! The Flow A.C. is featured on the Flatiron 38 and the sYnc A.C. is found on the Divide 55 and Fifty-Two 80.
- 1. 0.08 mm Perforated HDPE pulls air to your shoulder blades
- 2. Mesh Backpanel uses air channels assist moving air in and out to the back
- 3. Comfy EVA foam wrapped in spacer mesh provides padding and support
- 4. 20.0 x 3.0 mm 6061-T6 tempered aluminum bar for structure and support
- 5. VariCant dual-pivoting hipbelt
- 6. 1.5 mm HDPE Hip Belt frame , featuring an adjust-a-cant system
- 7. Size markings on shoulder straps
- 8. 1.5 mm HDPE Frame-sheet
- 9. Slide n' lock harness adjustment system for Divide & Fifty-Two 80
FlexFlow TS Frame and M-Flex Frame
The FlexFlow TS is a trampoline style frame system that uses a lightweight aluminum wire frame to tension the mesh and perforated foam backanel. This allows air to flow behind the trampoline backpanel for ventilation and offers great load transfer, flex and motion. Featured on the Bolt 24 and Incline 18.
The M-Flex is a lightweight frame system with superb load handling capability. It uses an "M" shaped aluminum wire perimeter frame, HDPE frame sheet and our acclaimed variCant dual-pivoting/adjustable hipbelt. This offers a top-notch suspension system that can flex, rotate and pivot to mimic the motions of your body while hiking. Featured in the Salute 34 and PowderKeg 32**.
**The PowderKeg 32 uses a slightly different version of this frame called the M-Flex Access. The HDPE sheet is removed on the M-Flex Access and subsitituted with a tear-away backpanel that is used for a horizontal snowboard carry and a "U" shaped backpanel zipper access.

Hip replacement surgery, also called total hip arthroplasty, involves removing a diseased hip joint and replacing it with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. Hip prostheses consist of a ball component, made of metal or ceramic, and a socket, which has an insert or liner made of plastic, ceramic or metal. The implants used in hip replacement are biocompatible — meaning they're designed to be accepted by your body — and they're made to resist corrosion, degradation and wear.
Hip replacement is typically used for people with hip joint damage from arthritis or an injury. Followed by rehabilitation, hip replacement can relieve pain and restore range of motion and function of your hip joint.
The goal of hip replacement surgery is to relieve pain and increase the mobility and function of a damaged hip joint. If a stiff, painful hip joint has forced you to cut back on everyday activities, successful surgery may allow you to resume them.
Before thinking about surgery, though, your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as pain medications, physical therapy, exercise, and use of a cane or walker. If these treatments are not enough, hip replacement may be the right option for you.
Conditions that can damage the hip joint, sometimes necessitating hip replacement surgery, include:
Symptoms that might lead you to consider hip replacement include:
Hip replacement surgery is generally safe, but as with any surgery, complications can occur. Although some complications are serious, most can be treated successfully. Complications of hip replacement include:
Before surgery you'll meet with your orthopedic surgeon for an examination. The surgeon will:
This preoperative evaluation is a good opportunity for you to ask questions about the procedure. If you have any concerns about the surgery, be sure to ask.
Your doctor or surgeon may also recommend that you begin an exercise program in preparation for your surgery. Some doctors believe that people who have an established muscle-building and flexibility program before surgery have better outcomes and faster recovery time following surgery. Preoperative exercise programs may have less effect in those with advanced osteoarthritis, however. Talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program.
When you check in for your surgery, you'll be asked to remove your clothes and put on a hospital gown. The first member of the medical team to visit may be the anesthesiologist. You'll be given either a general anesthetic or a spinal block, which numbs the lower half of your body.
Because infection and blood clots are possible complications of hip replacement surgery, your surgeon may order preventive medications — antibiotics and blood thinners — to be given before the surgery begins.
During the procedure
To perform a hip replacement, your surgeon:
Your new, artificial joint is designed to mimic the natural, gliding motion of a healthy hip joint.
Techniques for hip replacement are evolving. As surgeons continue to develop less invasive surgical techniques, the hope is that these techniques might reduce recovery time and pain compared with standard hip replacements. However, studies comparing the outcomes of standard hip replacement with those of minimally invasive hip replacement have had mixed results.
After the procedure
After surgery, you'll be moved to a recovery area for a few hours while your anesthesia wears off. Nurses or other anesthesia aides will watch your blood pressure, pulse, alertness, pain or comfort level, and your need for medications.
Blood clot prevention
After your surgery, you'll be at increased risk of blood clots in your legs. Possible measures to prevent this complication include:
Physical therapy
A physical therapist may help you with some exercises that you can do in the hospital and at home to speed recovery.
Activity and exercise must be a regular part of your day to regain the use of your joint and muscles. Your physical therapist will recommend strengthening and mobility exercises and will help you learn how to use a walking aid, such as a walker, a cane or crutches. As therapy progresses, you'll gradually increase the weight you put on your leg until you're able to walk without assistance.
Home recovery and follow-up care
Before you leave the hospital, you and your caregivers will get tips on caring for your new hip. For a smooth transition:
About six to eight weeks after surgery, you'll have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to make sure your hip is healing properly. If recovery is progressing well, most people resume their normal activities by this time — even if in a limited fashion.
Hip replacement surgery is successful more than 90 percent of the time.
Expect your new hip joint to reduce the pain you felt before your surgery and increase the range of motion in your joint. But don't expect to do anything you couldn't do before surgery. High-impact activities — such as running or playing basketball — may never get your doctor's approval. But in time, you may be able to swim, play golf, walk or ride a bike comfortably.

Fake trailer edit
The Walking Dead trailer we ran earlier is a fake: our apologies, and an explanation
Official sources have confirmed that the Walking Dead: Survival Instinct trailer we ran earlier today is in fact a fan edit, created using footage that was released as part of a preview given to gaming outlet IGN. It's footage of an unfinished game, it wasn't meant to be promotional material, and I'd like to personally apologize for falling for it and presenting content that proved to be inaccurately labeled.
How this happened
I'd like to explain how this happened, because while I tried to research the matter and make sure the video was legitimate, it's clear I failed. I first saw the trailer on a variety of gaming sites labeled as an official piece of marketing for the game. The next step was to search for the source of the trailer on Youtube, where most companies upload their own promotional videos. I found what seemed to be the original version of the video under the account "TWDSurvivalInstinct." It was the only video uploaded by that account, and it seemed to be an official account for the game. I also shared the trailer with other writers who confirmed to me that the footage was from a version of the game they had seen previously, so the fact that the footage was actually taken from the game gave me a false sense of security about running the fake trailer. The last bit of evidence that led me to believe the video was real was the fact it was posted on Dan Amrich's blog. Amrich is Activision's social media manager. "For what it's worth, I thought I'd missed something and posted the same video. Humans—we do make mistakes," Amrich posted on Twitter. Amrich is a great guy, and I'll admit to feeling slightly better that I wasn't the only one who fell for the trailer. I felt I did a fair amount of legwork and was comfortable posting both the trailer and my reaction to it. Frankly, I was pissed off. Presenting a game in that shape to fans would have been irresponsible, and wrong. In reality the footage was simply from an early version of the game, and was not meant to be presented by itself in a promotional manner. It's impossible to tell the quality of the game or its graphics from an early build that wasn't meant to be anything more than background footage for a preview; almost all the problems I had with the game's footage can be fixed in the normal development cycle. For reference: this was the source of the footage. I try to hold myself and PAR to a higher standard when it comes to vetting this sort of content. In this case that system broke down, and I'd like to apologize to everyone who read the story, and I'd also like to personally apologize to the developers at Terminal Reality and everyone at Activision for the nasty things I said about footage that I thought was a trailer. It was wrong of me, and I look forward to learning more about the game in the future. Here's hoping the game is shaping up well, and when a real trailer is released it impresses both old and new fans of the Walking Dead franchise.

Video: MyHeritage team digitizes cemetery
Earlier this month, the employees of MyHeritage's Israel headquarters visited a cemetery to digitize gravestones using the BillionGraves app.
We documented over 70% of the entire cemetery, over 50,000 images of gravestones, and it was the single largest event of its kind ever held in Israel. Read more about the event here.
We're now releasing a video about this project with footage from our trip to the cemetery. It includes an explanation from MyHeritage Founder and CEO Gilad Japhet, who participated in the trip and who personally digitized some 1,000 gravestones.
He explains the tremendous importance of this global initiative and the value of gravestones for genealogy. Our generation has the necessary tools, and it's our responsibility to get the world's gravestones online before their inscriptions erode. It's a race against time. You can see how easy it is for anyone to get involved and help to preserve these important pieces of family history for future generations.

MyHeritage Employees Digitize an Entire Cemetery to Kick-Start Global Initiative
Eighty MyHeritage employees from our headquarters in Israel arrived in full force early Sunday morning to the Segula Cemetery in Petah Tikva, Israel, to digitize gravestones using the BillionGraves mobile application. We felt it was important to practice this ourselves, before we call upon others to join us in this initiative. By gaining hands-on experience, we aimed to create best practices, improve the product and fine-tune methodologies for digitizing cemeteries all around the world in the most efficient manner.
So what brings a large group of young folks with smartphones to a cemetery? We recently announced a global initiative, together with BillionGraves, to digitally preserve the world's cemeteries. It is important to digitize cemeteries because of the key role that gravestones play in family history and in society in general. Most of the world's cemeteries have never been systematically documented nor has their information made available online. In addition, age and exposure to the elements are rendering gravestones illegible, making this project even more urgent.
It was a cloudy morning, with occasional drizzles. Continue reading "MyHeritage Employees Digitize an Entire Cemetery to Kick-Start Global Initiative" »

DALLAS -- The roll out of the Affordable Care Act has not been smooth, but this week the Obama administration hopes to point out the successes of the process by spotlighting a local organization.
Temple Emanu-El is preparing to host President Obama on Wednesday. He is highlighting the work of Dallas Area Interfaith.
Leaders of different religions have made it their mission to inform their congregation's about the Affordable Care Act.
"For us, I think that the president is coming to Temple Emanu-El to highlight the work of, not only Temple Emanu-El, but all of the faith organizations that are working together to make the world a better place," said Rabbi Asher Knight of Temple Emanu-El.
The specifics of the visit are still unknown. We know the president will meet at the temple with other religious leaders, and the meeting will not be open to the public.
President Obama is scheduled to arrive Wednesday afternoon and depart Wednesday night.

The rise and fall of Brian Bowles' MMA career is one of the more unfortunate stories, if only because it occurred because of injuries and not because of a lack of skill. This past weekend at UFC 160, Bowles made his return to the octagon for the first time in close to two years. He put on a solid performance but ultimately lost to George Roop by TKO in the second round.
But his story really begins six years ago at WEC 26. When he made his debut in the blue cage, Bowles was a 3-0 prospect fighting out of Rory Singer's gym in Athens, Georgia. A 26 year old fighter with a predilection for knockouts and a nasty guillotine choke to boot, he was everything that Zuffa could ask for in a bantamweight fighter.
He was matched up with Charlie Valencia, a grappler with an 8-2 record. Valencia was part of Zuffa's initial blitz to celebrate and inform media members about the lighter weight classes. To say he was expected to win would be an understatement. He had the experience against quality competition and an underrated submission game. It took Bowles seven and a half minutes to put Valencia away with a rear naked choke.
He didn't stop there. He knocked current Bellator contender Marcos Galvao out in the second and then finished Damacio Page and Will Ribeiro with his signature guillotine. I should note that the Page submission occurred at 3:30 in the first round. That's going to be important later.
The victory over Ribeiro earned him a title shot against Miguel Torres. At that time, Torres was considered by many to be, pound for pound, one of the best fighters in the world. Of his 38 career fights, only seven went to decision, one of which resulted in his sole defeat. Torres was the blood and guts champion the WEC needed to elevate the bantamweight division and was marketed as such.
It took less than four minutes for it to all come crashing down as Bowles dropped Torres before putting him away with punches on the ground. That victory sent Torres' career in a tailspin and set Bowles up for bigger and and better things.
Or at least that was the expectation.
In what would become a theme for his career, Bowles suffered a devastating injury in his first and only title defense. He was matched up with current bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz at WEC 47 and was frustrated early on by Cruz' footwork and constant movement.
That style never let Bowles sit down on his punches or settle into his game plan. Bloody Elbow had Cruz up two rounds going into the third. But Bowles was unable to answer the bell. The ringside doctor stopped the bout due to injury and Bowles stated in his post-fight interview that he'd broken his hand with his first punch.
After rehabbing his hand for eight months, he was expected to fight Wagnney Fabiano on at WEC 52, but again the injury bug kept him off the card. This time it was a foot injury sustained in training a month out that put him on the sidelines. It would be another six months before he'd be able to make his long-awaited return at UFC on Versus 3 against Damacio Page.
In what is perhaps one of the most amazing and strange results you'll find on a fighter's wiki page, Bowles finished Page again by guillotine choke at 3:30 in the first round. Yes, he finished him with the same exact technique at the exact same time.
A hard fought decision win at UFC 132 against Takeya Mizugaki earned him a fight against Urijah Faber to be the number one contender for the bantamweight belt. Faber locked in a guillotine and Bowles was forced to tap in the second round.
That would be the last time fans heard from Bowles for 18 months.
In the lead up to his UFC 160 bout, Bowles appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. In that interview, Bowles was very candid when explaining what kept him away from the Octagon for so long. A mix of apathy in training and a string of injuries that include two bulging discs and two degenerative discs in his back put his return in question.
But when he finally made his return this past weekend, it looked vintage Brian Bowles. He dropped Roop in the first and locked in the guillotine choke. But Roop wouldn't tap and survived the round. Bowles looked tired entering the second and was subsequently finished with punches.
Looking back, it's clear that we never got to see Brian Bowles live up to his true potential. When he was healthy, he was clearly one of the top fighters at bantamweight. But those constant injuries never allowed him to improve between fights. Where his peers would develop new techniques, Bowles was spending his time rehabbing his body.
This shouldn't serve as a career retrospective as much as a sobering reminder how a fighter's career is one injury away from coming to a close. If he really has become apathetic in training and Saturday is the last time he enters the cage, Brian Bowles will be remembered as one of the best examples of "could have been" athletes in MMA. He has all the abilities but injuries cheated fans from seeing what he truly could have accomplished.

Before Friday's final of the UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship, Spain and Belgium will battle it out for third place with both sides aiming to end the tournament on a positive note.
Spain started the final competition on Tuesday as favourites, having won twice before in Nyon in 2010 and 2011, but their bid for a record-equalling third crown was halted by Sweden in the semi-finals. Belgium, meanwhile, can look back on a positive overall campaign that resulted in a first finals appearance.
Midfielder Shayna Raekelboom said: "We know that it is over for us, but I think it is a great thing that we made it this far. We did our best to get here for the first time and we should be very happy. We haven't lost everything yet, we can still play for third place and we will do our best to achieve that. Spain are a great team, it will be awesome to play against them, but we can do it, we also know how to play football."
"We'll prepare in terms of a tactical plan," added Red Devilettes coach Joëlle Piron. "We start every match with the intention of winning, and we're aiming for third place."
Spain are also putting their performance into perspective after an impressive qualification in which they eliminated world champions France in their second round group and finished ahead of this week's finalists Poland in their first – defeating the Polish 3-0 on their own Dolná Ždaňa turf.
"I feel proud knowing that at first there were 44 teams and now there are just four and we are in the top four," said captain Marta Turmo. "There are many good sides that have not made it this far, really good teams like France and the Netherlands and we have got past them, and now we are here. I mean, we eliminated France, the world champions."

Sure, you know the regulars who come through your establishment's door every week or connect with you regularly, but do you know the entire range of customers and prospects and what they mean to your marketing efforts?
There are 5 types of customers:
1. Your most passionate fans: These are the people who know and trust you and are happy to spread the word to recommend your business to everyone. You covet these people.
2. Your regular customers: These are the people who know you because they've shopped or interacted with you in the past, but may not have a serious affinity for your brand, products, or services.
3. The prospects: These are people who know someone who knows you (your customers and passionate fans) and have an interest in what you have to offer.
4. The suspects: People who have interest in what you offer, but have no idea you exist.
5. The disinterested: Obvious enough, these people have no interest in you, so don't spend time or money trying to reach them.
What do these five mean to your marketing efforts? You should be regularly marketing, through email and social media, to the passionate fans and customers by providing engaging content that they can in turn share with their friends and colleagues (i.e., the prospects). This sharing can take place through email forwards, posts to Facebook, retweets of your content, or word of mouth.
For the suspects, you want to make sure information about your organization is readily available and accessible in as many locations as possible. For instance, restaurants should make sure their profiles on sites like Yelp and Google Places are accurate so people searching for a place to eat can find you. Your Facebook and Twitter pages should link back to your website, so those stumbling onto your Page or a tweet can get more information about your company. Make it as easy as possible for suspects and prospects to learn more about you and how you can benefit them.
The goal is to turn suspects into prospects into customers and ultimately into raving fans.
Just wanted to say excellent blog!
Thanks for your personal marvelous posting! I seriously enjoyed reading it, you will be a great author.I will always bookmark your blog and will come back sometime soon. I want to encourage yourself to continue your great job, have a nice evening!

Good day! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Many thanks!
It pays to be organized and it pays even greater to be consistent with your organization. Great post..very useful stuff.

So cute, but not worth the pain
"After walking around for 20 minutes in these shoes I got major blisters on the backs of my ankles."

Super sexy!
"I wear between a 9 and a 10 depending on the shoe, and I bought these in a 10 mostly because I absolutely hate my toes being close to the edge in heels, the 9.5 did fit me if it weren't for my toe issue.These are a super sexy pinup style shoe and for high heels they are pretty comfortable as well. I loved these shoes so much I bought them in the black and white pattern too and I'm thinking about buying the coral ones (they are such a pretty color).Life is short, buy the shoes!"

Super Cute, DO NOT LAST
"I should know better. I have bought these shoes 3 summers in a row. They are so cute and comfy, but never last more than a month :("
