Phoenix Racing renamed HScott Motorsports: Harry Scott Jr. announced that Phoenix Racing has been renamed HScott Motorsports. The rebranding of the team comes five months after Scott purchased the team from James Finch. As part of this announcement, the company unveiled its new branding, including a new logo, website and social media accounts. "I am truly looking forward to the 2014 season," said Scott. "We have two great drivers in place with Justin Allgaier and Bobby Labonte, we've partnered with great sponsors and the team is ready and excited for Daytona. Now that we have launched the HScott Motorsports brand, everything is in place. We can't wait for the season to get started and to get back to racing."
To learn more about the newly rebranded team, its drivers and partners, please visit www.HScottMotorsports.com. You can also keep up with the team via its Facebook page, at Facebook.com/HScottMotorsports, and on Twitter (@TeamHSM51 and @TeamHSM52) and Instagram (TeamHSM51).
Upon purchasing the team last year, Scott pledged to establish a team with a focus on the future and eventually competing for a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. During this past offseason, HScott Motorsports signed Justin Allgaier to drive the #51 BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet SS fulltime and Bobby Labonte to drive the #52 Chevrolet SS for a number of races, including the Daytona 500. HScott Motorsports also expanded their relationship with Hendrick Motorsports, which historically has been providing engines to the team. The team also hired NSCS veteran Steve Addington to serve as competition director and the crew chief for the #51 driven by Allgaier. Jimmy Elledge, who served as interim crew chief for Allgaier in 2013, remains with the team and will be crew chief for Labonte's #52 team. James Finch, former owner of Phoenix Racing, has remained a trusted advisor to the team and will be listed as the owner of Labonte's #52 Chevy.(Tuckahoe Strategies)(2-5-2014)
Finch plans to enter a car in Daytona 500 UPDATE2: Former #51 Phoenix Racing team owner James Finch told Brad Gillie and Buddy Baker on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio's The Late Shift that he plans to enter a car in the 2014 Daytona 500.(listen at Soundcloud/SiriusXM). Finch will use a car from his old team, Phoenix Racing, now owned by Harry Scott Jr.. No word on a driver or what car nuumber Finch will use.(12-10-2013)
UPDATE: James Finch has asked 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champ Bobby Labonte to run a second Phoenix Racing Chevy in the 2014 Daytona 500. Finch, who sold majority interest of his team to Harry Scott last summer, said he hopes to have the car, engine and team solidified next week. "We'll be running out of the Phoenix Racing shop," Finch said. "I hope to have a number before Christmas. I'm waiting for NASCAR to get back to me on that."(FoxSports)(12-12-2013)
UPDATE 2: Phoenix Racing announced that Bobby Labonte will drive a second car for the team in the Daytona 500 on February 23, 2014 at Daytona International Speedway. The move reunites Phoenix Racing chairman emeritus, James Finch, with the 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, Bobby Labonte. Labonte drove for Phoenix Racing for 13 races in the #09 in 2010 and for one race at Michigan International Speedway in 2013 in the #51. Harry Scott, Jr., who purchased the team from Finch in 2013, said, "James continues to be a valuable part of our team and when he came up with the idea of running Bobby in a second car, I jumped at the opportunity to bring him back into the fold. Bobby is a veteran driver that can also provide valuable insight and leadership for Phoenix Racing."
"I'm thrilled to be headed back to Daytona with Bobby Labonte," said Finch. "I thank Harry Scott for this opportunity. He knew I would have to be weaned off racing, I can't quit cold turkey."
"I am grateful and excited to return to Daytona with Phoenix Racing," said Labonte. "The Daytona 500 is obviously a special event for everyone involved in the sport. I can't wait to get back in the car for my 22nd Daytona 500."
Labonte, who will run a number of races for Phoenix Racing in 2014 has won 21 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in his career that started in 1991. During that time Labonte scored 115 Top 5s and 203 Top 10s. In 1990 Labonte was named the NASCAR Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver. He captured the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship a year later in 1991. The team will provide additional information in the coming weeks about which car number will be entered, the crew chief for the team and sponsors supporting the car.(Phoenix Racing)(12-17-2013)

Per the IRS, closely held corporations have more than 50% of the value of their outstanding stock owned (directly or indirectly) by 5 or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of the tax year. And yes, some pretty huge corporations (including Hobby Lobby!) qualify as closely-held.
The sincere religious belief question was kind of elided. In cases involving real people, it's easy to establish a record of sincere belief in a trial or motion hearing -- you have the person explain the beliefs, how they came to them, etc. etc. In this new world of corporate personhood, I think it is a far more difficult question to establish what the company's religious beliefs are. The majority opinion even admits that partners in a closely held corporation can and do disagree. But for the purpose the case before it, the Court found that Hobby Lobby's family owners had established a clear record of sincere religious belief that several of the types of covered contraception were akin to abortion.

Product Information
- Floam from NSI
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
What It Is
Nickelodeon Floam is back. Floam is a reusable molding compound with a bead-like consistency. (For those not familiar with it, Floam is like tiny styrofoam beads in a gooey compound.) It makes a crunchy sound when you squeeze it. You can play with one color or combine colors to make all sorts of creations: animals, cars, monsters, and more. After you're done playing with Floam, squish it back into the container and use it again and again or let your creation harden overnight and keep it forever. The included instruction booklet offers tips and project ideas for using Floam. Floam comes in a variety of colors, including Rockin' Red, Electric Yellow, Purple Power, Posh Pink, Glimmer Green, Blazin' Blue, Forest Green, White Sands, Blue Waters, Orange Sunset, Purple Poppy, and Pitch Black. Each is sold separately.
Is It Fun?
Once kids pick up Floam, they won't want to put it down. It's got a great texture and can be used in so many ways, engaging kids in imaginative and creative play. For parents who remember the original Floam from when they were kids, now the fun is back and can be shared with today's kids.
Who It's For
Floam is for ages 6 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
If Floam is slightly dry when you take it out of the package, add a few drops of warm water to soften.
Floam is washable and non-toxic, but it may cause an allergic reaction in hypersensitive individuals.
Don't eat Floam. Keep out of reach of pets and small children. Keep it away from faces, eyes, and hair. In case of accidental contact, use running warm water to dissolve.
Floam should not stain, but wearing old clothes or an apron is recommended while playing with it. Avoid prolonged contact with fabrics and carpeting as staining may occur. Remove Floam from fabrics as soon as possible.

Wage measure's early lead raises hopes of backers
Seattle Times business reporter
SeaTac Proposition 1
As of Tuesday night
Key contests
City and county councils
National races
A SeaTac ballot measure to create a $15-an-hour minimum wage for airport-related workers took a narrow lead in initial results Tuesday.
With about 3,283 votes counted, SeaTac Proposition 1 led 54 percent to 46 percent — a difference of only 261 votes in a city with 12,000 registered voters.
At a campaign event in SeaTac, supporters were optimistic that uncounted votes would go their way.
"This means that the people who put fuel in jets may actually be able to buy a ticket on one," said David Rolf, a vice president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
But Proposition 1 opponents said the race was too close to call Tuesday.
Washington's mail-in voting system means ballots will continue to arrive after Election Day, and the outcome might not be known until Friday, said Scott Ostrander, general manager of Cedarbrook Lodge in SeaTac.
"It's a really small margin," said Ostrander, co-chair of a business-backed political committee opposed to Proposition 1. "We're estimating there's probably 6,500 to 6,800 ballots out there, and we've only probably seen about 50 percent."
Proposition 1 would raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for hospitality and transportation workers in and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. That rate represents a 63 percent increase from Washington's current minimum wage of $9.19, which will rise on Jan. 1 to $9.32, the highest of any state.
Proposition 1 also calls for annual increases tied to inflation, paid sick leave and tip protection. It would require employers to offer part-time workers more hours before hiring additional part-timers, and to keep employees for at least three months after an ownership change.
Supporters of Proposition 1 say it would lift minimum-wage workers out of poverty, give them more money to spend at local businesses and boost the economy. Opponents say it would force businesses to raise prices and cut staff, and would leave taxpayers footing the bill for enforcement costs.
The ballot measure would take effect Jan. 1, covering roughly 6,300 workers at 72 airport-related businesses in SeaTac, including hotels, car-rental companies and parking lots.
Taken together, the campaigns for and against the measure raised $2.1 million — about $170 per registered voter in SeaTac.
Proposition 1 is part of a broader national debate about income inequality and government's role in improving worker wages at a time when many new jobs are low-paying and part-time.
It also reflects a desire by organized labor to reinvent itself and reverse a decades-long decline in union membership: Proposition 1 is supported by labor groups, and includes a waiver for employers with union contracts.
While Proposition 1 vote-counting could take some time, the minimum-wage debate appears headed for Seattle. Mayoral candidate Ed Murray, who held a strong lead in initial returns Tuesday, said he supports raising the city's wage floor to $15 an hour.
"Voters are tired of waiting for CEOs or Congress to do the right thing for workers," said SEIU's Rolf. "Over the past 30 years, we've seen a 725 percent increase in CEO pay, and 80 percent of all economic growth has gone to the top 1 percent.
"It's time to take matters into our own hands," he said.
Seattle Times business reporter Coral Garnick contributed to this story.

Some phone makers are exploring alternatives to the Android operating system in the wake of Apple's recent patent victory over Samsung.
Recently, a US court ruled that Samsung's Android mobile devices infringe Apple patents which which could lead to sales ban and high licensing fees for th mobile software platform.
The ruling could impact many smaller vendors that use Android including HTC, ZTE, and Sony.
The California jury said Samsung infringed six of seven Apple patents in the case and after the verdict, Google said that most of the patents involved don't relate to the core Android operating system.
Apple has also filed a new patent lawsuit at the US District Court, Northern District of California against Samsung Electronics, requesting to add four more Samsung devices to patent-infringing product list in an amended patent infringement complaint.
Android was used in 68% of all smartphones sold last quarter, with Samsung making almost half of them, while Microsoft had 3% market share.
Sony launched three Android phones this week while Chinese phone maker Huawei launched four phones.
Recently, Microsoft launched the android version of its cloud service, the SkyDrive app, for the Android powered smartphones, which can be downloaded through Google Play Store.

RECAP: The Bachelor Meets The Parents
Season 16 of The Bachelor is winding down, with only three ladies left in the running to be Mrs. Ben Flajnik. On Monday's show Flajnik met the parents of the women he hadn't yet sent packing — Kacie, Lindzi, Nicki, and Courtney.
Though the parents' reactions to meeting the man who might soon be their son-in-law ranged from expected disdain to surprising glee, Flajnik's resolve seemed firmly placed on the not-so-subtle Courtney, who arranged a faux wedding for the two, complete with vows, fake rings, and a walk down the aisle.
"From the moment I saw you," he said "You took my breath away. "I thought, 'Is this too good to be true?'" It doesn't look like it. However, it was too good to be true for former frontrunner Kacie, who was sent home at the end of the episode after her father made it clear that he wasn't impressed by the entire situation. He asked Flajnk to let his little girl down sooner rather than later.
And he did. Kacie was taken away in the limo at the end of the rose ceremony, crying and wondering why she wasn't "good enough" for the bachelor.

Cheryl Cole who simply goes by Cheryl these days drops her fourth studio album titled Only Human on November 10. The 31-year-old is in hardcore promotional mode in hopes of scoring solid first week sales. More power to ya gurrrrrl!!!
In the past week, she's released the music video for the breezy upbeat "I Don't Care" and the electro ballad title track "Only Human." Now comes an out of left field cover of TLC's empowering "Unpretty" mashed with Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts."
The result is neither here nor there for me. I like Cheryl, but don't think the vocals are on point with her acoustic rendition. Watch it below and see if you agree with my thoughts. I've also added Cheryl's recently released new tracks off Only Human as well. Enjoy.
Sayonara Robyn!!! You've been replaced by Jamie McDermott. Scandinavian duo Royksopp has tapped The Irrepressibles frontman for their new track, "You Know I Have To Go." The mesmerizingly mournful tune is just one of several collaborations featuring McDermott on their forthcoming album, The Inevitable End.
"The attraction and the doubt; the dilemma as whether to succumb to one's feelings or not. The sheer length of the track is meant to illustrate the prolonging internal struggle between reason and lust," Royksopp explains of their new song. Give the borderline depressing song a listen below. I quite like it, but I'm a sucker for sad songs when I'm in a melancholy mood. Who doesn't?
I'm sure plenty of you slutty hookers out there can relate to this. Ever have a trick spend the night and overstay their welcome? If you answered 'yes', you'll definitely want to check this out.
Daniel Franzese of Mean Girls Damian fame filmed a spoof using Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" as inspiration. Titled "Please Go Home," the parody tells the tale of a one-night stand gone wrong. Members of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus and Adrian Anchondo ("Dunkin Love") are also featured in the clip. Check it out below.
Taking a page from his other series, Glee, Ryan Murphy will be uploading music from American Horror Story: Freak Show to iTunes. He revealed due to popular demand, a downloadable version of Jessica Lange's cover of David Bowie's "Life On Mars" will be available soon.
If you thought Lange's performance on the premiere was fantastic, Murphy teases her Lana Del Rey cover featured in an upcoming episode will be "something to behold." Kurt Cobain's music will also be featured on the new season.
Did you watch the AHS: Freak Show premiere last night? I'm reserving full judgement after the next episode. The 90-minute premiere was a little too slow-paced for my liking. Also, Twisty the Clown wasn't as scary as I had anticipated. Don't get me wrong, he was creepy but he was a bit of a letdown after all the hype.
Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Lange were as fantastic as usual. Someone please give Paulson an Emmy statue please. It's long overdue for her amazing work on the series. I can't wait for the other 'freaks' to be introduced next episode which also happens to be 90 minutes long. Relive Lange's performance below and share your thoughts on the premiere afterward.
The last time Pharrell Williams collaborated with Daft Punk the inescapable hit, "Get Lucky," was born. Williams once again works with the French duo on "Gust of Wind," the fourth single off his sophomore album G I R L. It most likely won't earn the same critical and commercial acclaim like "Get Lucky," but it's still an enjoyable listen and the accompanying visual, an entertaining watch.
Daft Punk never appears in the clip but make their presence known as a pair of illuminated helmet-shaped boulders floating in the sky. Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright directs the forest dance party which finds Pharrell hanging out with a bevy of aerialists and dancers on a mountainside.
Known for his unique sense of style, Pharrell's fashion statement in the video are oversized safety pins accessorizing his sweater. I'm kinda missing his Vivienne Westwood-designed Arby's-looking chapeau. Anyone else? Check out the fun clip below.
Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan aren't letting the split with their record label, Epic Records, slow them down. The real life couple are back in the recording studio working on new material in hopes of proving Epic they made a huge mistake. In the label's defense, none of the tracks off Karmin's sophomore album, Pulses, made a blip on anyone's radar. Here's hoping to better luck via the indie route.
Karmin recently premiered "Sugar' on their SoundCloud account. The duo previously teased their new offering at the end of the first episode of their brand new YouTube webseries "Kickin' It with Karmin" last week. An accompanying visual has already been shot and scheduled to premiere in a few days. Check out "Sugar" below which features breezy synth beats and Amy showing off her rapping skills.
2 Chainz pretty much sums it up in the rap interlude, "White girl in the middle, looking like an Oreo." Even when she's surrounded with other white girls, Jessie J. is the creamy white filling due to her gorgeous alabaster skin. The 26-year-old looks stunningly fierce in her "Burnin' Up" music video.
The Hannah Lux Davis-directed visual shows off Jessie's surprisingly wicked dance skills. Girl slays the tight choreography while wearing tight black latex showing off some major butt cheeks. Naturally, I'm also partial to the scenes where shirtless oiled men serve as props poolside.
While there's no denying "Burnin' Up" has a bangin' beat, I doubt it'll reach the heights of its predecessor, "Bang Bang." 2 Chainz doesn't have the same commercial cachet as Ariana Grande or Nicki Minaj but should still become a moderate radio hit. Give the video a watch below.
Before you get too excited, Nicole Scherzinger isn't reuniting with the Pussycat Dolls. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if she did in the future, if her new solo album flops like her previous attempt. Rather, the 36-year-old singer is joining the West End revival production of Cats. She'll play "Glamour Cat" Grizabella for a 12-week run starting in December at London's Palladium.
"I am really thrilled to be making my West End debut in such an iconic show and I couldn't be more excited," Nicole shared in a statement. "To have the opportunity to work with Andrew [Lloyd Webber], Trevor, and Gillian is a dream come true. I grew up listening to Andrew's extraordinary music and was lucky enough, a couple of years ago, to record Cats' beautiful song 'Memory.' Andrew's score is breathtaking and I am truly honored to have been asked to take part in what I know will be a very special time in my career. I can't wait to begin rehearsals."
This isn't the first time Scherzinger has performed songs from an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. She's previously sang songs from Phantom Of The Opera and Evita for various music specials. Check out the performances below.

text: Tammy Parker EDLD 5301 – ET 8002 May 11, 2009 Week 5 Assignment – Action Research Proposal Using Extrinsic Rewards to Motivate Kindergarten Students to Complete Homework Assignments Introduction and Background Teachers often use rewards as motivation for students to perform a desired task. Davis, Winsler, and Middleton (2006) reported that most elementary students received a "myriad" of external rewards from their teachers (p. 214). These researchers found that 77% of the participants in their study valued rewards as effective academic motivators (p. 217). The classroom teacher of the study sample wants to find an effective way to motive her students to complete homework assignments. The value of using extrinsic rewards to motivate students to complete homework by the due date will be explored. Extrinsic rewards are not only intended to influence student behaviors, but also to help students assume responsibility for their own learning. In their study of a fourth grade reading improvement program, Patchman and Wilson (2006) specified student accountability as a critical factor in promoting student motivation (p. 680). Purpose The purpose of this action research study will be to examine the extent to which extrinsic rewards impact the motivation of Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments. Literature Review Many young children who enter Kindergarten have not yet developed self-management strategies to aid them in independent learning. The teacher provided homework to reinforce classroom learning, but few students completed the assignments by the due date. Previous research showed the importance of establishing a home-school connection for student achievement (Bogner, Raphael, & Pressley, 2002, p. 148). There was a need for the researcher and other educators to understand effective methods to motivate young students and to help them become responsible learners. Bogner et al. (2002) noted that holding students accountable for their own performance typically results in improved student engagement (p. 148). Patrick, Mantzicopoulos, Samarapungavan, and French (2008) concluded that a significant component of motivation is finding some merit or worth in the activity (p. 123). Teachers often use extrinsic rewards as a means to attach value to a task and to help students view the activity as desirable, if only for the reward that awaits them. Those extrinsic motivators include intangible rewards such as praise, a smile, or thumbs-up as well as tangible rewards like stickers, treats, or trinkets. Davis, Winsler, and Middleton (2006) stated that "how students perceive the reward likely determines how effective a motivator it is in the present and over time (p. 220). As students develop self-management strategies introduced through the use of extrinsic rewards and begin to assume responsibility for their own learning, they can begin to see the value of the reinforcement opportunities homework offers. Patchman and Wilson (2006) found that 17 of the 22 students in their study of literacy improvement strategies considered "having to read for homework" as "very important" (p. 682). Patrick et al. (2008) found that seeing a task or assignment as meaningful or useful is an important component of motivation (p. 123). Research Questions 1. Do extrinsic rewards motivate Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments? 2. Do extrinsic rewards motivate male and female Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments? 3. Do extrinsic rewards have a positive impact on student self-motivation? 4. Should extrinsic rewards be valued as a tool for affecting motivation in Kindergarten students? 5. What impact does the expectation of an extrinsic reward have on the quality of student work? Sample The sample for this action research will consist of 22 Kindergarten students in one class at a rural elementary school in East Texas. Data Collection Procedures/Instruments Before data collection begins, the researcher will file the necessary paperwork to request that the school district Institutional Review Board (IRB) approve this proposal for compliance with human subjects research. Once written approval has been received from the school district IRB, the researcher will contact the parents or legal guardians of each student in the class and ask them to provide written permission for their child to participate in the study. Only those students for whom written permission is obtained will be included in the study. Student names and personally identifying information about student participants will not be revealed when writing or sharing information about the research so that confidentiality may be maintained. This study will be conducted over a nine week period. The initial or baseline period will be for three weeks, and each of the two subsequent intervention periods will also comprise three weeks each. The student participants will be asked to bring a completed daily homework assignment to class. Tally marks will be made on a checklist to determine the number of times each student brings his or her assignment in the initial period of three weeks. During this initial period, no tangible or intangible extrinsic reward will be offered for assignments submitted, and the researcher will not make students aware of the record that is being kept. After this initial period, student participants will be rewarded with verbal praise each day a completed assignment is brought to class. Tally marks will be made on a checklist to determine the number of times each student brings his or her assignment in the second three week period of the study. In the final three week period of the study, student participants will be given a token extrinsic reward (a sticker) each day a completed assignment is brought to class. Tally marks will again be made on a checklist to determine the number of times each student brings his or her assignment in this final three week period of the study. Throughout the study, student work samples from the homework assignments will be collected, analyzed, and evaluated using a Product and Performance Assessment Form. This rating scale will compare the student's work to that of other students the same age and grade level in each phase of the study. The form will also include a comments section for evaluator observations and notations. Student work samples will be evaluated for quality as well as completion. An attitude scale using graphics will be used to measure student perceptions concerning the importance of receiving a reward for completing assignments and to determine the value student participants assign to the extrinsic rewards used in the study. Additionally, the researcher will gather information in a research journal of thoughts and observations. This information will be examined for precision and patterns then grouped into categories and scrutinized to be sure enough data has been gathered to address the research question. An open-ended checklist will be created using the categories, and tally marks will indicate occurrences of specified behaviors. Data Analysis In order to answer question 1, "Do extrinsic rewards motivate Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments?" data collected from the checklist will be tallied. Measures of the mean will be calculated to include all participants for each three-week portion of the study. The mean will be used to determine any change in participants' motivation and self-management behavior with the introduction of first an intangible and then a tangible extrinsic reward. The data will be graphed for visual comparisons. The number and percent of male and female participants will be determined using descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and this information will help to address question 2, "Do extrinsic rewards motivate male and female Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments?" Measures of the mean will be calculated according to gender for each three-week portion of the study. The mean will be used to determine and compare any change in male and female participants' motivation and self-management behavior with the introduction of the intangible and tangible extrinsic rewards. The data will be graphed to compare male and female tendencies. Questions 3 and 4 will be answered using data from the research journal of teacher observations and thoughts as well as by using the data from the attitude scale. The two questions of interest are: 3, "Do extrinsic rewards have a positive impact on student self-motivation?" and 4, "Should extrinsic rewards be valued as a tool for affecting motivation in Kindergarten students?" Student work samples collected during each phase of the study along with the accompanying Product and Performance Assessment Form will be used to answer question 5, "What impact does the expectation of an extrinsic reward have on the quality of student work?" This rating scale will compare the quality of the student's work to that of other students the same age and grade level in each phase of the study. Limitations Several factors of this study may result in misleading information. The following risks will be anticipated for this study: 1. Kindergarten children may tend to agree with positive statements used in a survey. 2. Participants may feel the extrinsic rewards used in the study have little appeal. 3. The population is not a true random sample but a convenient sample taken for practical purposes. Action Plan This is a proposal; therefore, findings and conclusions are not available. However, if it is determined that the use of extrinsic rewards positively impacts the motivation of Kindergarten students to complete homework assignments in a quality manner, then the most effective extrinsic rewards identified in the study should be implemented to improve student achievement.

Fatal Cataract Sedation Results in $2.1M Settlement
Patient "inexplicably left alone" and unmonitored before surgery.
Published: January 24, 2014
The estate of a cataract patient whose routine sedation was fatally complicated by negligent monitoring has agreed to a $2.1 million settlement, according to Jury Verdict Review Publications.
Marie Golubski, then 68, was scheduled to undergo cataract surgery on her right eye at the Pittsburgh-area Associates Surgery Center in June 2010. She was prepped and intravenously sedated before being "inexplicably left alone."
During this time her breathing slowed significantly and the medical staff, having neglected to monitor her vital signs, failed to notice that she had fallen into respiratory and cardiac arrest. Twenty-three minutes after the IV sedation had been administered, she was discovered unresponsive and suffering anoxic brain injury, according to court records. She was transferred to a nearby hospital for resuscitative efforts, but died 6 days later.
Ms. Golubski's husband filed suit, citing negligence in failing to monitor her, failing to provide continuous care and leaving her unattended after sedation. The defendants denied negligence. According to a case summary, ophthalmic surgeon Daniel Zimmer, MD, and anesthesia provider Brian Cross, CRNA, each argued that monitoring was the other's responsibility.
In the August 2013 settlement, however, Dr. Zimmer, Mr. Cross, the surgery center and Dr. Zimmer's practice settled the case for a total of $2,125,000 in damages.
Attorneys for Ms. Golubski's estate and the defendants did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

text: John Kerry: James Foley Beheading 'Ugly, Savage, Inexplicable, Nihilistic, Valueless' Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 20 Aug 2014 post a comment Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement with strong words for the ISIL terrorists who were responsible for the death of American journalist James Foley. Kerry said that the action was a reminder to the world of the horrors committed by ISIL terrorists. "There is evil in this world, and we all have come face to face with it once again. Ugly, savage, inexplicable, nihilistic, and valueless evil," he said. "ISIL is the face of that evil." Kerry also called the terrorist actions "an ugly insult to the peaceful religion" of Islam. "Make no mistake: we will continue to confront ISIL wherever it tries to spread its despicable hatred," he continued. "The world must know that the United States of America will never back down in the face of such evil." Kerry also vowed to bring the terrorists responsible to justice. "ISIL and the wickedness it represents must be destroyed, and those responsible for this heinous, vicious atrocity will be held accountable," he concluded.

Safety equipment that Shell Oil volunteered to put into place for drilling off the coast of Alaska has complicated the company's quest to reach oil-bearing rock during the short open water drilling season this year.
LONDON — International governments should seek a moratorium on offshore drilling in the Arctic amid concern an oil spill in the region could cause catastrophic environmental damage, British lawmakers said Thursday.
The Environmental Audit Committee of Britain's House of Commons urged action to halt oil and gas drilling in the Arctic until new safeguards — including vastly increased financial guarantees and universal standards on disaster response — are put in place.
Legislators on the panel also called for an internationally recognized nature sanctuary to be created to protect at least part of the Arctic from energy exploration.
Caroline Lucas, a member of the committee and the only Green Party lawmaker at Britain's Parliament, said the panel's findings came as "the race to carve up the Arctic is accelerating faster than our regulatory or technical capacity to manage it."

"The Arctic oil rush is bringing unprecedented risks to the area, and it's now clear that the consequences of any potential oil spill would be catastrophic," she said.
Recommendations by the panel are not binding on Britain's government, and in response the country's foreign ministry said only that it would consider the proposals.
Experts warned the panel that any blowout in the Arctic at the end of the summer drilling season could be disastrous, as the returning winter ice would likely severely hamper the response.
"We heard compelling evidence that if a blow-out occurred just before the dark Arctic winter returned it may not be possible to cap it until the following summer — potentially leaving oil spewing out under the ice for six months or more with devastating consequences for wildlife," said lawmaker Joan Walley, chairwoman of the committee.
(MORE: Arctic Ice Shrinks to All-Time Low, Half 1980 Size)
In a report, legislators said that the fact Arctic drilling locations are remote means resources to manage accidents are likely to be difficult to access or unavailable. Because shorelines are sparsely populated, it would also be more difficult to detect evidence of a spill.
"The infrastructure to mount a big clean-up operation is simply not in place and conventional oil spill response techniques have not been proven to work in such severe conditions," Walley said.
Legislators called on Britain to lobby the Arctic Council — an intergovernmental forum of the eight Arctic nations, including the United States and Canada — to craft a universal standard on disaster response.
The panel also suggested a "much higher, preferably unlimited, financial liability regime for oil and gas operations."
Britain's energy and climate change ministry said that, given the U.K.'s lack of "expertise or experience of Arctic issues," nations in the region should take the lead.
Charles Emmerson, an energy expert at the London-based Chatham House think tank, said it was "extremely unlikely" that nations competing over Arctic resources would agree to a single regulatory framework.
Richard Steiner, an Alaska-based marine conservation consultant who gave evidence to the committee via video link, urged the eight Arctic coastal nations and the U.N. to adopt the report's recommendations.
(MORE: Dr. Jeff Masters: Earth's Attic is on Fire)
"It represents the first time a governmental body has really and honestly suggested what needs to happen to manage the Arctic responsibly," he said. "The U.K. Parliamentary body has proposed a realistic road-map for Arctic stewardship."
Environmental groups strongly oppose Arctic offshore drilling, claiming oil companies have not demonstrated the ability to clean up spilled crude in ice. Operating in one of the world's most hostile marine environments is a risk to its polar bears, walrus and endangered whales, the groups claim.
Shell has limited Arctic drilling off Alaska to preparation work this year after a safety system was damaged during testing.
However, Marvin Odum, head of Shell Oil Co., Royal Dutch Shell's U.S. subsidiary, insists it is optimistic about tapping into an estimated 26 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet (3.68 trillion cubic meters) of natural gas in U.S. Arctic waters.
In evidence to the British committee, Robert Blaauw, a senior Shell adviser on the Arctic, said energy demand over the coming decades made it necessary for companies to look to "unconventional resources" such as those in the Arctic.
The company said that it welcomed dialogue on Arctic energy exploration.

We hadn't stayed here since moving to Nevada, three years ago. We were pleasantly surprised on our recent visit. the entire lobby and breakfast area had been completely redone. Breakfast, while the typical hotel breakfast, was fresh and tasty. Upon check-in we were upgraded to a room with a fridge and microwave. The room was clean and efficient.The hotel was quiet. The beds were comfy. The desk staff was more than willing to assist in any way the could. Over all a good stay for the money. We will definitely stay here again when we travel to Toledo. The only downfall for us was the weather in March. We desert rats are not used to cold with rain or snow.

LLVM 3.2 Improves PowerPC Compiler Support
Published on 25 November 2012 05:52 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
In addition to
featuring an auto-vectorizer
Polly optimizations
, and countless other improvements, the forthcoming release of LLVM 3.2 brings numerous improvements to its PowerPC back-end.
The PowerPC back-end target with LLVM 3.2 and accompanying Clang 3.2 C/C++ compiler feature many improvements for this compiler infrastructure that's
due to be released in mid-December
Among the PowerPC LLVM enhancements is better compliance with the 64-bit PowerPC ELF ABI, better inoperability with GCC, and a number of specific PowerPC64 feature improvements.
Some of the new LLVM PowerPC features include MCJIT support. PowerPC64 relocation support and TOC handling, various fixes, improvements to spilling and reloading for vector registers, C++ exception handling, fixes for big-endian code generation bugs, implemented
support, and IBM long double support. With LLVM 3.2 is also 32/64-bit code generation improvements and instruction scheduling support for the FreeScale E500MC and E5500 cores.
For those interested in the LLVM/Clang x86 performance with the 3.2 SVN development code compared to GCC 4.8, there are
recent compiler benchmarks
. ARM-based compiler benchmarks are forthcoming.

Pastner confident Johnson will break out of early season shooting slump
Sooner or later, the shots are going to drop.
They have to. University of Memphis senior guard Geron Johnson has spent too many extra hours working on his shooting, mechanically firing off jumper after jumper after practices, for him to believe otherwise.
"That's my theory. The best of them have said, 'You get out what you put in,'" Johnson said. "So if that's a true statement, then, hey, I should be looking good."
Should be, yes. But the reality is Johnson hasn't looked so good offensively with No. 21-ranked Memphis (2-1) preparing to play three games in four days in this week's Old Spice Classic in Orlando, starting with Siena (2-4) on Thursday.
Coming off a junior season in which he averaged 10.4 points, Johnson currently ranks ninth on the team in scoring at five points per game — by far the fewest of any Tigers starter — and is shooting just 31.8 percent (7 of 22) from the floor, having gone 0 of 5 so far from 3-point range.
Against No. 5 Oklahoma State last week, he was one of two Memphis guards to go 1 of 10 from the field and finished the game with two points and four turnovers in 24 minutes. Four days later, in the Tigers' blowout win over Nicholls State, he attempted just two shots and committed five turnovers in 25 minutes in another two-point performance.
Though Johnson has been effective for Memphis in other areas — he leads the team in rebounding (seven per game) and assists (4.7 per game) — the Tigers have come to expect more from a player who carried them at times offensively last season, scoring in double figures in 18 of the 33 games he played.
"I actually thought he played pretty well for the most part versus Nicholls State. He had a good stat-sheet-stuffer game," coach Josh Pastner said. "He had a few too many turnovers, but not all of them were his fault. A couple of them were good passes that guys just missed.
"I know he's pressing a little bit right now about making shots, and it's going to happen. He's gonna make shots. He made big shots for us during his time here last year. Big shots."
In Johnson's defense, he got off to a slow start offensively as a junior, scoring a combined seven points in his first two games before putting together a string of seven double-figure scoring efforts over the Tigers' next eight games. And he looked comfortable in a season-opening win over Austin Peay two weeks ago, scoring 11 points on 5 of 10 shooting to go with his 10 rebounds and four assists.
Against Nicholls last Saturday, Johnson was clearly looking to get the ball inside first to Memphis' post players with Pastner having demanded the team to work from the inside out offensively — something it hadn't done in the loss to Oklahoma State, when the Tigers' guards looked for their perimeter shot first.
"That's the game plan (Pastner) makes for us. It looks good that way," Johnson said of the inside-out approach. "We were winning the whole game (against Nicholls). I'm not worried about or big on self accolades and stats, so there was no need for me to score.
"I'm just playing basketball the way I know how and just trying to get the W. I'm gonna be all right regardless of any situation."
It's conceivable to think Memphis won't need as much scoring punch from Johnson this season with a roster full of scorers. But it does need a confident Johnson who won't shy away from taking the big shot when it needs him to.
"Geron's one of the hardest workers in college basketball. He's an absolute gym rat," Pastner said. "So I think for him he's pressing because he's put so much time and energy in the gym with the extra work.
"I understand where he's coming from — he deserves the right to make the shots. They just have fallen yet, but they are gonna fall. He worked too hard for 'em not to fall."
