CHUCK STARK | Junior Retired Because He Couldn't Be Junior Any Longer
SEATTLE - You knew this day was coming. When the conversation turned a few weeks ago to clubhouse naps instead of clubhouse leader, Ken Griffey Jr.'s days were numbered.
Sure, the skills had eroded, but I'm not sure that's the only reason he announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Even though he was hitting .180 and was homerless in Seattle, my guess is Griffey retired because he couldn't be himself anymore.
Junior's always said that the best way for him to contribute is to be himself.
"I can't play upset, mad and angry and pissed off," he said after Opening Day in 2009, a day that marked his return to the franchise that wouldn't be anything without him. "That just doesn't work for me ... I need to be me, and part of being me is not letting a whole lot of you guys into my world."
So it wasn't surprising that Griffey, a fun-loving, wise-cracking guy who never liked being in the fishbowl, announced his retirement and left the ballpark so he wouldn't have to talk about it.
No. 24 was carved out in the dirt infield at Safeco Field. But it wasn't exactly the happiest place on earth Wednesday night, even though the Mariners were able to pull out a 2-1 extra-inning win. The M's are in last place and word of Griffey's retirement seemed to cast a pall over the fans who passed through the turnstiles.
As emotional as many of the fans were, imagine how Griffey must feel. He grew up in the Cincinnati Reds' clubhouse with his dad, Ken Griffey, Sr., and it's been his life for most of his 40 years. By leaving, he's conceding that the Mariners are better off without him.
History will be kind to the best center fielder of his time. He's been compared to Willie Mays and Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. Where he ranks among the all-time greats will be debated forever, but you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a more complete player.
He ended his career with 630 home runs, 1,836 RBI and 10 Gold Gloves. Who knows how many home runs he'd have if he'd stayed healthy. Griffey's production dropped off dramatically over the last 10 years of his career.
History, for sure, will treat him more kindly than the stars of the steroids era like Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens.
When Griffey goes to Cooperstown for his induction into the Hall of Fame, he will be regarded as the greatest player of his era who was not touched by performance-enhancing drugs.
If not for Griffey, the Mariners might have sailed away to Florida in 1995. Sure, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez, Lou Piniella and others were also instrumental in saving baseball here, but No. 24 was the straw that stirred the lattes in Seattle.
Safeco Field's been called the stadium that Griffey built. That's a pretty impressive thing to have on your resume.
Griffey also gave us the backward baseball cap.
And that beautiful, beautiful left-handed swing.
And don't forget that smile. For 22 years, all he had to do was stick his head out of of the dugout and the response from fans was unlike anything most of us have ever witnessed.
But that youthfulness and playfulness that defined him as a ballplayer couldn't last forever.
The story that said he was sleeping in the clubhouse and not available to pinch-hit in a game — more than the strikeouts and lazy pops flies and weak grounders he was producing at the plate turned Junior's world upside down.
He couldn't be himself anymore, and Wednesday he walked away from it all without saying a word.

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Downgrades Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings to Sell on Comparative Outlook
Goldman Sachs reduced its rating on Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings (NYSE: LH) from Neutral to Sell with a $83 price target.
Goldman Sachs noted, "We downgrade LH shares to Sell from Neutral as we see better relative upside to the balance of our Tools and Diagnostics coverage universe. Our new 6-month price target of $83 (from $85) implies 1% upside (vs. 12% for the group on average). Our thesis is based on our view that (1) any volume upside driven from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is likely to come at the cost of pricing and margins, (2) upside to consensus EPS will depend on an increasing amount of financial leverage, and (3) aggressive capital allocation is unlikely to drive significant multiple expansion."
Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings closed at $83.21 on Friday.

Awesome Joker model based off The Joker from The Dark Knight. Player shows off the character's poses with the weapons and demonstrates how it plays in the game afterward. Voice of The Joker doesn't seem to be modded in yet. :( The skins, models, and parts with this character aren't mine; I didn't make them.

The problem was that the heating did not work in the room . the service engineer said the filter needed cleaning which an old story used for years when they know it is bust . ager cleaning the filter he declared it ok . but the term did nit rise above 15 the whole night . extra blankets and sleeping fully dressed is not what I expect in a london hotel. I would only stay again on price and in the warmer season

We loved our stay in this hotel but had a couple of very minor issues. We rang room service for a jug of semi-skimmed milk. When it arrived they had brought more cartons of long life milk, I did say something but I think it was 'lost in translation'. Also, we ordered breakfast in our room but they missed off two items off both of our meals (mushrooms & black pudding). We didn't ring down to tell them as we wanted to eat our breakfast hot. But as I say these were two very minor issues which did not spoil our stay.

The hotel was let down on one day by the domestic who had forgotten to clean our room and my wife had to rush to get ready to go to the theatre. But the day was saved by the staff in bistro 51 who had us served our three course meal and out in 50 min or so enabling us to get to the theatre on time. Overall the stay was a good one and I would return again

Excellent location as around corner from Buckingham Palace and walkable in 15-30 minutes to Thames, West End and Trafalgar. Extremely helpful staff, also around corner from Underground stop on line to Kensington. Yet on quiet street. . My room had some mild noise from central air conditioning in courtyard outside that wouldn't bother most people - when asked staff helpful in moving me on second day. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice lobby bar open. Only suggestion is would be nice to have free wifi. Excellent stay, highly recommended.

As China turns 60, its artists are venturing into areas that were once taboo. In conversation with Ananth Krishnan, Sheng Qi, one of China's most daring contemporary artists, talks about why he revels in taking on subjects his colleagues don't touch.
They took away three paintings: a nude posing with an AK-47 in front a portrait of Mao Zedong, a Chinese policeman displaying a 100 Yuan bill (which features Mao's face) and a young Mao showing the middle-finger. But they left on display a dozen other paintings, some invoking the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, still very much a taboo topic in China today.
China's censors can be hard to read. On occasion, they find the most harmless paintings objectionable, and on others, leave on public display such strong criticisms of the Chinese government that stun foreign visitors who expect to see bland, safe art here.
Behind the seeming arbitrariness of China's censors is a growing confusion of where boundaries lie. And, behind this confusion are an increasing number of Chinese artists, filmmakers and journalists who are pushing the limits of expression in China, cleverly working in the grey areas between what is acceptable and what is not. For once, the censors are being asked the hard questions.
* * *
"Sheng Qi", in Mandarin Chinese, means "getting angry." Sheng Qi, the artist, has always been angry. On June 5, 1989, the day after the violence on Tiananmen Square, Sheng, in a fit of rage and frustration, grabbed a knife and severed the little finger off his left hand and buried it in a flower pot. The next day, still angry, Sheng left China for Europe, promising to never come back. He did. Ten years after working tables in Rome, and eventually, getting to London to study art, Sheng returned, an accomplished artist, determined to change the way his Chinese colleagues did art. But the anger hasn't subsided.
Engaging but complex
Sheng, now regarded as one of China's most daring contemporary artists, revels in taking on subjects his colleagues don't touch, from the country's growing HIV problem and the rising hyper-nationalism he sees in his countrymen to the sensitive legacy of 1989. These themes were evident in his latest project — perhaps his most daring coming a month before China marked its politically sensitive sixtieth anniversary on October 1 — which went on public display last month. "The Power of the People" explores an engaging but complex question: What does China mean to its people today?
* * *
I meet Sheng at a Starbucks a five-minute drive away from his studio, which is located in Beijing's expansive 798 art district, where much of China's most progressive art can be found. For an artist known for the anger of his work — all his paintings drip eerily with paint. Or is it blood? — he is surprisingly soft-spoken and calm. Dressed in a brown t-shirt and jeans, with his left hand firmly in his pocket, Sheng jumps into the seat of a silver Mercedes convertible. He drives only with his right hand. His studio, like others in 798, is an old military factory warehouse, with blue walls, a tin roof and a vast interior space filled with paintings and statues — he sculpts too.
Sheng's work is driven by two simple objectives: to change the direction of where he sees Chinese contemporary art heading, and simply, to ask questions. "The way I look at art, and others disagree, I see no point if you don't have a message," Sheng says. "And when I look around me, so many artists here simply don't have anything to say with their work. I look at Chinese contemporary art and no one asks questions, criticises social issues, looks at our environmental problems or human rights. It is too separate from the day to day lives of people."
"The Power of the People", his latest series, features provocative themes. They were partly inspired by the events of 1989, and also by what Sheng sees as a worrying spurt in what he calls "narrow-minded nationalism", most evident during the Olympics of last year and again in recent weeks as the country celebrated its 60th anniversary. He sees a society, and its art, growing too intolerant of ideas, rejecting debate and discussion. "It bothers me a lot that China is becoming extremely nationalistic," he says. "Every nation is proud of itself, yes, but when it becomes too much, it's dangerous. You then have a society with no debate, no discussion."
* * *
China is far more open today than it was a decade ago — artists can take on provocative issues, journalists can expose local officials for corruption. But many subjects still remain off-limits — usually, anything that directly questions Beijing's authority. The challenge, for journalists and artists, is that there is seemingly no well-defined line between what is acceptable and what isn't.
Artists and journalists seemingly face three choices: operating well within this line and playing it safe; moving abroad and becoming a critic from outside; or, operating in the always-changing grey area along the official line of acceptability. For those that choose the third option, the risk is obviously great, but so is the reward.
Successfully walking this line means they are in the forefront of shaping public opinion in China today, as unlike voices from outside, they are in touch with and have direct access to mainstream Chinese society. But doing so involves at least two aspects: having good 'guanxi', or relationships with the government that you can rely on to bail you out, and more importantly, having the intrinsic ability to read where this hazy dividing line runs.
The few that have succeeded in doing so have emerged as China's most influential voices. Like Hu Shuli, the brave editor of the excellent Caijing magazine, one of Chinese journalism's most influential independent voices. Caijing breaks stories and raises issues other papers don't go near. Or Fu Jianfeng, the editor of the Southern Weekend newspaper, another intrepid journalist who has, through his sensitive stories, incurred the wrath of Chinese authorities on a dozen occasions, yet managed to keep his paper going while dozens of others have been shut down. Sheng too has seemingly discovered the secret to walking this line.
* * *
Sheng describes his art as "ugly". He says most artists in China focus on high technique, which appeals to refined Chinese tastes that value form over content. "Their's is high cuisine," he says. "I serve rice and water." One painting shows a nude woman brandishing a gun, posing in front of Chairman Mao, China's revered founding leader. Another shows a sea of troops massed in front of Beijing's Olympic stadium, critiquing the Olympics hysteria. Another shows dozens of young people camped out on Tiananmen Square, subtly invoking the days of '89.
Sheng says he wanted "to get people to think, to push their boundaries and get them to ask questions." The dozen or so paintings attracted a lot of attention in Beijing, coming at a sensitive time for the country. The exhibition opened bang in the middle of two important anniversaries — the 20th anniversary of the June 4 Tiananmen Square incident, and the People's Republic of China's 60th anniversary celebrated on October 1. On the second day, censors removed three of the paintings. But they let the rest of the exhibition go on. The officials made their point; they were watching. But then, so did Sheng.

Thanks to the Christmas season, "Top Authors in December" shows how it helped the success of some authors, in particular I noticed ScoringAudioGeeks and Allegro120. Also, pinkzebra's several amazing Christmas songs helped shoot him to #1 as top author in December. Also, did anyone else notice that last week in the popular files page ScoringAudioGeeks made a whopping 105 sales for an individual item (http://audiojungle.net/page/top_sellers?day=23&month=12&year=2012 )?? I believe that's the most of one item in one week on AJ? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, the holiday season skewed normal sales but it was really interesting to see the results. Congrats to all of those seeing success as a result of the holiday season!
Happy 2013, everyone! And good luck!
Happy 2013, everyone and thanks Phil for the information!
Indeed Phil, this December has been great for me, all my Christmas item has sold in large numbers. Also my other tracks have not dropped in sales. This has made it into the ranking of Top Sellers of the month . "Melodius Christmas" and "Christmas" pack been bestsellers.
Thank you to all buyers who have trusted my music.
Yes, great work everyone!

In a jam-packed venue, a video clipping showcasing many stars wishing Hamsalekha was played. However, in the end, a special documentary was played, which moved the music director to tears! Well, Crazy Star Ravichandran, whose friendship with the musician soared a decade ago before patching up last year, said some wonderful words about Hamsalekha that eventually moved him.
In Ravichandran's words, "Thank you for taking birth for me." This lovely words that came from the actor brought tears in the eyes of the music director. Sources add that the Crazy Star, who was approached by Hamsalekha's daughter for a birthday message, told her that it was difficult to wish him in one sentence, rather he needs to make a short-video clipping to thank Hamsa for being a special friend to him.
It was a 15-minute video shot in typical Ravichandran's style. Colourful sets lightened up with candles and pigeon were shown flying when the Crazy Star mouthed his message. The entire video gave a splendid experience to the audience.

Wright G., Cairns G. Scenario Thinking: Practical Approaches to the Future PDF
Palgrave and Macmillan, 2011. — 193 p. — ISBN: 9780230271562
We would like to acknowledge the support and contribution of a number of people to our work and thinking in developing this text. First, we thank Paul Goodwin for checking the sense of our simplified quantitative option appraisal format in Chapter 6, and acknowledge his contribution through earlier joint publications. Ron Bradfield provided us with sources of information as we wrote, and has contributed to our thinking on scenario method over a number of years. Martyna S´ liwa worked with us in developing the concept of the critical scenario method (CSM) that we set out in Chapter
5. We must acknowledge the contribution of Kees van der Heijden to our early understanding of scenario method during the time that we worked with him at Strathclyde University, UK.
In developing our thinking, we have drawn upon the earlier work of a number of scholars. In relation to scenario methods, we have been informed by the writings of Pierre Wack and Paul Schoe- maker in particular. In developing our thinking on the integration of stakeholder analysis, we have drawn upon the thinking of Ed Freeman. Our integration of stakeholder analysis into a framework for considering issues of power, business ethics and social respon- sibility has been further informed and inspired by the writing of Bent Flyvbjerg.
Whilst all these people have contributed to our thinking in devel- oping this text, we must take personal responsibility for the final print – in particular, any omissions or errors that we have allowed to creep in.
Why should the individual and organization practice scenario thinking?
Working with scenarios: introducing the basic method
Incorporating stakeholder values and facilitating critique of scenario storylines
Understanding stakeholder viewpoints.
Augmented scenario approaches: delving deeper and stretching wider
Scenarios and decision analysis
Creating robust strategies and robust organizations
The backward logic method of constructing extreme scenarios
Diagnosing organizational receptiveness

Rappers Paul Wall and Baby Bash Arrested for Marijuana Possession
Category: Celebrities | Posted on Mon, September, 12th 2011 by THCFinder
Nothin' like getting arrested—and then bragging about it on Twitter!
Rappers Paul Wall and Baby Bash (real names Paul Michael Slayton and Ronald Ray Bryant) found themselves in hot water on Saturday night when they were arrested for marijuana possession in a—wait for it!—drug-free zone in El Paso, TX.
El Paso County Jail Records show the two were arrested at 1:30 a.m. and were released around 1:30 p.m. after posting $300 bail. They were charged with possession of marijuana in a quantity of less than 2 oz.
So what did Mr. Wall have to say about the arrest on Twitter?
It looks like the rappers received a music history lesson during their jail stay as Paul tweeted, "Fresh out the El Paso County jail wit @BabyBash @BIGGROY in the same tank they held Willie Nelson/Johnny Cash."
He also posted pictures of the two of them in handcuffs in the back of the police car. Maybe they can use one of the pictures for a future album cover?
Thankfully, Paul found something good in all of this: "The good news is the Texans won," he tweeted.
However, Baby Bash didn't seem as thrilled with the arrest as his buddy. "Ain't 2much worse than a " HOE ASS PUNK EL PASO COP that abuses his authority, just cuz me and Paul wall are artists!" he tweeted. "Only GEEKS and fools who don't have any spine abuses AUthority! But I'm back in the FLESH feelin so FRESH, out the tank mang!"

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Nick Garrett and his northern Utah buddies know how to kid around, from burying a treasure chest filled with chocolate coins on Venice Beach to doing flips off the roof of a house into what they call the "World's Biggest Pile of Leaves."
'World's Biggest Pile of Leaves' video goes viral
Three of their YouTube videos have gone viral, generating a little cash for them and even laughs from those who need it most — victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"I got chills when I read one," Garrett said of an email response to a Halloween prank that involved carrying around their own door, bringing "reverse trick-or-treating" to people's doorsteps.
He said the email from a Sandy victim suggested the three pranksters may just be having fun, "but you're cheering up everyone that's having a hard time."
It's easy to laugh watching 21-year-old Garrett, of Ogden, and his friends do back flips and cartwheels into a giant leaf pile that grew to 17 feet high and 60 feet in circumference.
Video of the stunt already has been viewed 1.5 million times, and it was only posted Sunday night.
Similarly, their Venice Beach caper caught 1.8 million views on their "bangakang" YouTube channel — the name a takeoff from Peter Pan and the lost boys who never want to grow up and yell bangarang. With bangarang already taken, they opted for something close.
Garrett, Weber State buddy Tyler White, 22, and carpet-cleaning friend Johnny Murdock, 25, were putting up fliers for their channel when they noticed all the bags of leaves on the streets awaiting the garbage man.
They rented a huge truck and started their own collection Nov. 8, picking up more than 1,200 bags and raking the yards of three or four houses around Logan themselves.
They dumped the estimated 20,000 pounds of leaves at a friend's house in nearby Roy, and the following weekend pulled an all-nighter building the giant pile.

Dust Storm Over the Nile Delta
April 25, 2007
Much of the Nile Delta is obscured by dust in this image captured by the MODIS on the Terra satellite on April 17, 2007. Its green color, a contrast to its sandy and arid surroundings, is barely visible through the dust.
The storm has blown dust out over the Mediterranean Sea as well, covering up the edge of the coastline, which is outlined in black. There are white clouds on the right side of the image, which also contrast with the tan color of the dust storm.

Oprah Winfrey Visit to Cost Australian Taxpayers $3M
The trip is being carried out in conjunction with airline Qantas and will be partly financed with funds in the annual tourism budget.
"I think it's money well spent," Martin Ferguson told reporters after making the announcement in Sydney. "This truly represents an amazing opportunity to showcase Australia, the warmth and hospitality of our people and the depth and breadth of everything our country has to offer visitors from around the world."
The government of New South Wales, the state where Sydney is located, will fork over between $1 million and $2 million of the country's investment in the trip.
Sensing there may be some backlash from taxpayers, former tourism minister John Brown has implored the media not to be "cynical about the cost."
"We spent hundreds of millions of dollars over 30 years without much effect, I must say that honestly," he said. "The publicity that Oprah will bring to Australia around the world is something you couldn't buy."
Winfrey announced the grand gesture on the debut of the final season of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.'
"Because, after all, this really is my 25th season and this is really my last chance to do something really big," she explained.
There will be two episodes of 'Oprah's Ultimate Australian Adventure,' which will feature O's biggest fans down under, in places like the Sydney Opera House. The trip will happen this coming December.
"It's one of the places I've always wanted to visit, and who better to take with me on this trip of a lifetime than some of my most loyal viewers. My team has been planning this trip for almost a year and we are so excited," Oprah said in a statement.
After airing, Oprah tweeted that she was pleased no one let the news leak. "Audience -- it's unbelievable that you kept that secret all weekend!! Way to go mates," she wrote.

Are you kidding me. You have serious hate issues. Please Please for your sake and your families see a doctor. You have too much bottled up hate in you.
Oprah has done so much good in this world, earned her own money and it is absolutely no one business what she does with it.
Have you helped other people in need? Please investigate before you make hateful racist remarks like that.
The world is the state it is in because of hateful people like you.
Please get help and open your eyes. I will pray for you.

Mr. Clooney:
My saying that I will pray reflects my beliefs. I meant that I will pray for that person to lose his/her hatred. I was raised to judge people from their heart and mind and not the color of their skin or their political or religious beliefs. I was not raised on hatred and I did not raise my two daughters that way.
His/her remarks show total hatred.

Just like she did when she "gave away cars," she is using someone else's money. Most likely the fans will have to pay US taxes on the value of this trip and I bet she will not even cover that cost. For someone that is a billionare, she loves spending other people's money.
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy Puffy
Mark, you are so right. I mean I think Oprah has done so many amazing things to help people, BUT, much like Angelina Jolie, she keeps a very tight control on what the general public knows about her. Her employees have to sign confidentiality agreements that are about as tight as working for the Royal Family. It irritates the bejeezus out of me when she says she's giving the audience a car, a trip, whatever when the reality of the situation is that she is merely the platform where the gift is being given. GM donated those cars - granted, she asked for them and GM gained lots of good pr from it, but the fact is GM gave the cars, not Oprah. I am genuinely puzzled why a woman like Oprah, with all that money, and what looks like so much philanthropy isn't paying the whole cost of this "gift". Why would the Australian public have to pay anything at all? Isn't it Oprah in the end who benefits from all this already??? I really don't begrudge Oprah the money, the celebrity, etc. I just don't understand why a billionaire can't pay for 300 people to go to Australia.
Please continue about Africa being INVADED. Is this what are children are being taught in school?
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy Peaches
Remember when she gave away all the cars. They had to pay the sales taxes on the car. Not everyone could do so. Will they have to pay the taxes on this trip to? I haven't watched her show in years. And never will.
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy cathy
wow.. it's great to know that Australia isn't in a recession like the rest of us. As for all of the things Oprah has done for people.. none of it came out of her own pocket.. everything was donated by the manufacturer.. even the cars..

I agree with Gramps.....why not take a trip right here in the USA....Oprah acts so high and mighty...she doesn't give anything away...unless it is someone else's...can't wait till her show is over....tired of watching her pat herself on the back....

Oprah is a multi BILLIONAIRE. I find it insulting that she has to use my tax dollars to go on vacation. I can barely pay my own bills and this thug has the balls to mug me.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
The double disc comprises 12 movementslike bars in a blues or months in a yearcharting character development, seasonal change, and identity crisis. Given that Ralph Ellison mentored Crouch, and Crouch mentors Marsalis, it's no surprise All Rise sounds lick for lick like a musical interpretation of Invisible Man. Marsalis even titles a track "The Halls of Erudition and Scholarship (Come Back Home)." If that's not a clear nod to the Ellison protagonist's ethical encounter with a racist white school system, what is? "Cried, Shouted, Then Sung" summarizes Jim Truebloodwho impregnates his daughter, whines about it, then sings the blues to transcend disgrace. Marsalis even describes All Rise as a cycle of rebirths.
But the album's not just great literature. It's background to your bath, antidote for your angst, and toothpick for that nasty girl's hair that got caught between your teeth during the Medeski moshpit at Hammerstein. All Rise, ironically like Medeski's Combusticationand despite Marsalis's monumental lack of melodycombines old-school classical with new-school jazz in a carefully crafted tribute to each. "Go Slow (But Don't Stop)" turns a furious waltz into a tugboat ballad, into a Basin-happy blues, into up-tempo swing, and back into the waltzwith transitions so tight and pauses so unpredictable that the antagonism Marsalis generates when his chubby face sours magazine ads for million-dollar watches gets purged by thunderous drums and torrential tubas. At 3:51 in "Cried, Shouted, Then Sung," the tuba player plops a crisp classical quip before a quote from Sonny Rollins's "Oleo" in a compositional maneuver that can only be described as totally fucking cool.
Marsalis, on both discs, straps Stravinsky to Scofield and Mendelssohn to Monk in a rainy-day-blues-meets-flight-of-the-bumblebee salute to gospel and Godard. Yup, there's even new wave French cinema in there. You just have to listen for it.

The Core of Paragon
The Paragon Core Team of staff and physicians has been meeting for 13 months to implement changes required for the integrated financial and clinical hospital information system. The 45-member team is instrumental in preparations, building and troubleshooting for this new system. The group continues planning for the Monday, March 31 Go-Live date.
Dr. Quintos performs region's first Robotic Thoracoscopy
On March 4, Elias Quintos, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon, made SAMC surgical history when he performed the region's first robotically assisted thoracoscopy. The operation was to remove a lung wedge and explore a patient's chest cavity for other disease.
"The whole operation from start to finish was like a superb, well performed concert," Dr. Quintos said. "Our team not only has an innate aptitude for this kind of surgery but also the contagious enthusiasm to make the program succeed."
Surgery Director Chris Holland, RN, says the new procedure has great implications for patients at SAMC. "It will allow us a better way to surgically treat patients who are diagnosed with lung problems. Using the surgical robot means that a long incision is replaced by a few very small incisions. We also expect recovery times to decrease."
Holland added that patients will no longer need to drive to Birmingham or Atlanta to receive this kind of treatment.

The SAMC Foundation recently held its annual Heart & Soul Gala benefiting the heart and vascular services and programs offered by the Medical Center.
Foundation Executive Director Valerie Barnes said this year's event, held at the Dothan Country Club, was extremely successful.
"This year's gala collected more than $137,000 to support Heart and Vascular programs and services provided to our regional community by SAMC," Barnes said. "This would have not been possible without the wonderful support of our community. From each attendee to our area businesses and individuals who contribute to our auction, we are very thankful. Everyone had a lot of fun and several shared that the Heart & Soul Gala is one of the best formal events of the year and they look forward to attending it."
The event included 86 items in a live and silent auctions.
"Everything came together because of our 25 very generous sponsors, more than 260 guests and hard-working event volunteers," Barnes said.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 5 nights
Contemporary home in the woods.
Sleeps 8: (2 queens, 2 twins, 2 cots with luxury thickness Thermarest pads)
Located on the mountain in Killington East, less than one mile from Killington's Bear Mountain Base Lodge access road.
Driveway is less than 500 feet from a small parking area adjacent to Killington's Home Stretch Ski Trail, which leads down the mountain to one of Killington's high speed gondolas where lift tickets are available. (see photos of the parking area and a view of the Home Stretch Ski Trail from the parking area in this listing).
Enjoy dramatic views of sunrise over the Green Mountains from each of the three bedrooms. Relax in the new Sundance hot tub just outside the front door or curl up in front of the wood-burning fireplace (seasoned hardwood provided). Prepare meals in the recently remodeled, updated kitchen with all new appliances.
New in 2013:
Cable TV, High speed Internet and WiFi throughout house; two new 43' HD plasma TVs and two new Blueray DVD players (in living room and in finished basement) land line phones and power strip with USB ports for charging MP3 players.
Entire interior of home repainted, new carpet in bedrooms, hallways, stairs and finished basement.
New bamboo floor in kitchen, eat-in area and living room:
In the kitchen: new cabinets, countertop, range, microwave, sink and dishwasher.
In both bathrooms: new tile floors, vanities and tub/shower combinations with Speakman shower heads.
In the laundry area: new high efficiency washer with existing dryer.
In the entry: new tile floor.
10 feet from the front door: new Sundance hot tub, seats 6 to 7 adults.
The area in the vicinity of my home has many outdoor activities that would interest children four and older: hiking and swimming in the summer, skiing and playing in the snow in the winter. In addition, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science Nature Center and the Billings Farm and Museum are both are located near Woodstock on Route 4, approximately a half-hour drive east of my house and have many interesting activities that appeal to children. A rock climbing gym is located in Rutland, approximately a half-hour drive west of my house. All the public schools in my area have playgrounds. The one at the elementary school in Woodstock is brand new.
My home is not well-suited to guests with babies or young children. Travelers must bring their own crib, high chair, gates for the stairs, plastic covers for electrical outlets and any other equipment their baby or young child would need.
My house is far from baby-proof. None of the kitchen or bathroom base cabinets has a child lock. None of the electrical outlets has a cover. The house has five levels, each separated by an open half-flight of stairs. Extension cords are in use in every room and are connected to, among other things, lamps, radios, mp3 players and a light weight vacuum cleaner. Hot tub chemicals must be kept in the laundry room, up out of a young child's reach. I also recommend that guests with babies or young children move the remote control units for the TVs and Blu-Ray players from the coffee tables to surfaces out of a baby's reach. I expect other hazards exist that I haven't mentioned. In short, guests with babies or young children will almost certainly need to be more vigilant than they are at home in order to keep their baby or young child safe in my home.
I live a two-hour drive from my mountain home and expect to continue to enjoy it with family and friends when the property is not booked. I completely refurbished the house and it was available to rent for the first time in February 2013. We enjoy the hot tub year round, adjusting the water temperature as the weather changes. Kids love the bubble jets and multi-colored lights in all seasons.
Jane Carol Glendinning purchased this house in 1993
The property is in a wonderful location to enjoy downhill skiing, riding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, and golf, hiking in the Green Mountains, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides, antiquing and much more at other times of the year.
The combination of privacy in the woods, great mountain views and convenient access to Killington Ski Area in the winter and other attractions and outdoor activities at other times of the year make this a wonderful mountain location.
A small parking area located 500 feet from my driveway makes it possible to ski onto Killington's Homestretch Ski Trail and ski down to the Skyeship to purchase lift tickets. At the end of the day, you can return to your car via Homestretch Ski Trail and drive a few hundred feet up to the house.
We stayed at this house for a ski weekend with friends and it was the perfect fit! Plenty of room for everyone, clean and convenient, and it was a pleasure working with the home owner. The house is super close to the mountain (one of the trails go right past the house) and right near downtown as well. We hung in one night and played board games by the fire. The other night we went downtown to listen to live music. It was a great trip & this house was perfect for what we were looking for!
This accomodation offered a wonderful relaxed setting for a holiday with family.
The accomodation was lovely, cosy and bright, well appointed and equipped, and very clean throughout. The owner had obviously thought out details carefully and was very helpful.
We especially enjoyed the quiet location, the cosy fireplace, and the very inviting hot-tub
that was sparkling clean. There were beautiful views of the Green Mountains, and we enjoyed exploring the area, which has something to offer for all seasons. We were pleased to find easy access nearby to hiking opportunities, and for those more adventuresome there
is nearby access to the Appalachian Trail.
We'd love to return and will certainly recommend you to others.
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this gorgeous and convenient Killington house. While die-hard skiers were still hitting the slopes, we chose to explore nearby hiking trails and shopping instead. Favourite spots included the Quechee Gorge (near the quaint shopping district of Woodstock) and Gifford Woods State Park, which is bisected by the Appalachian Trail. The fastidiously clean hot tub was the perfect antidote - and a great spot for cocktails - at the end of the day. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and we definitely felt right at home. The lightening fast internet connection, the fire place and the large bathrooms were the cherry on the top. We look forward to returning!
The house is gorgeous and in perfect condition, with every detail thought out. It is truly ski-on / ski-off (right off the side of the trail Homestretch) and surrounded by beautiful woods. Hot tub was clean and worked wonderfully, separate heat controls in every room, great internet / electric connectivity, easy-to-use and stocked fireplace, large open great room, etc. Really a great deal for 8-10 people. If it is snowing the night you are arriving though just make sure your car can handle going up a hill in the snow to get to this house, otherwise it can be a bit of an adventure :)
Owner is also incredibly accommodating and helpful - she answered immediately any questions we had throughout the weekend and was very understanding with a little emergency we had (one of us lost our car keys) and had to stay extra to receive a replacement key). Recommended all-around.
This property surpassed my expectations. I rented with 7 other adults. The property is very well appointed and it accommodated 8 adults comfortably. The owner was very thorough and precise about her expectations of a renter (something I appreciate as a type "A" personality, I had no questions once I walked in the door...she leaves you notes everywhere)...True pride of ownership in this property.
The location was perfect for our group as we wanted to be somewhat remote from the downtown/or base lodge area, but not so far that it would take us too long to get there when we wanted to (5-10 minute drive to base lodge and 15 minute drive to restaurants and nightly entertainment). The outside hot tub is a great bonus. I will definitely utilize this property again.
The house was WONDERFUL. We had a group of 30 somthing adults looking to ski for the weekend and it was perfectly located (walk to the trail! basically a ski in - ski out property) and exactly what we wanted for our weekend in Killington. The house was clean, up to date and exactly as described. We will definitely be back!!
My home is located less than one mile from the Killington Mountain Resort Ski Area road to Bear Mountain lifts and base lodge;
You can watch skiers and snowboarders on Killington's Homestretch Trail from the house by day and snowcats grooming Homestretch after the lifts close.
Guests may also drive just 500 feet down Great Trail Road from my driveway and park in a small area adjacent to Killington's Home Stretch Trail. Before the lifts open, guests can make first tracks skiing and snowboarding down the mountain to the Skyeship, one of Killington's high-speed, heated gondolas, where lift tickets for Killington's five mountains are available.
If some members of a guest's party prefer to head home before others, they can ski back to their car, drive a few hundred yards up to my house, relax in the hot tub or in front of the wood-burning fireplace and pick the others up later in the day.
Photos of the Great Trail Road parking area and a view of the Home Stretch Ski Trail from the parking area are posted in this listing.
From the house, it's also
8 minutes to Killington's Tubing Center;
10 minutes to Mountain Meadows Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Center;
10 minutes to the Killington Grand Resort Hotel with spa services and a state-of-the-art fitness center available by the day to visitors who are not guests at the hotel.
10 minutes to hiking, kayaking and fishing in Gifford Woods State Park and Kent Pond;
20 minutes to Rutland, VT with movie theaters, a wide range of restaurants and shops; a rock climbing center, Norman Rockwell Museum, and the Rutland Regional Medical Center, Vermont's second largest hospital;
30 minutes to Woodstock, VT, scenic Quechee Gorge, Billings Farm and Museum, Vermont's only national park, live theater, movies, hot air balloon rides and a wide variety of restaurants and shops; and
30 minutes to horseback riding, including trail rides, at Mountain Top X-C Ski Center.

No really specific reason...except that we wouldn't terminate...so, we'd just rather not have something to have to worry about....especially because I'm the biggest worrier in the world. I know that a ton of people just do the screenings so they'd be prepared to deal with it if there were a genetic problem, and we might get to that point when we're alittle older...but for now it's just easier not to find out.
Thankfully my OB doesn't pressure at all. She just mentions what's available and leaves it up to us to ask for something if we want it.

I'm wondering if anyone is bypassing all genetic screening. Last time around I only did a 20 week ultrasound and felt good about the info I got from that. . . . I am not actually that person who would keep the baby "no matter what" but still, I'd rather be optimistic and not let tests freak me out. Anyone else?
I'm like you and would not keep the baby no matter what. But I had a friend who was told her baby probably had some major abnormality, based on many tests. She had him and he was absolutely normal. It spooks me to know that if I were her, I may made a different choice with the information.
When I discussed this with my midwife, she said that I didn't really have major risk factors (although I am a bit older...) and that she wouldn't do the genetic tests if she were in my position. I think if I were in my late 30s, I'd do the blood tests, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, you're not alone in your low-test mentality.

with all the nuchal scan news popping up around here I'm wondering if anyone is bypassing all genetic screening. Last time around I only did a 20 week ultrasound and felt good about the info I got from that. I didn't to the AFP blood draw because I wanted to stay away from the false positive gate to amnio. This time, I'm 5 years older (34) and considering the quad screen (blood test), but really I'd rather not do anything and just get a good u/s at 18-20 wks. I am not actually that person who would keep the baby "no matter what" but still, I'd rather be optimistic and not let tests freak me out. Anyone else?
I'm with you on the tests.

Last time around I only did a 20 week ultrasound and felt good about the info I got from that. I didn't to the AFP blood draw because I wanted to stay away from the false positive gate to amnio.
I've always been that person who was sure they would terminate upon news of a severe disability, and I still am that person. The issue is that I am not interested in an invasive procedure, like amnio, to indicate that there is truly a real problem.
We're forgoing genetic testings on the premise that we as healthy, young parents will produce another healthy offspring. I understand that these factors are not always relevent in subsequent pregnancies, but I feel the odds are in our favor and that this fetus I'm carrying is absolutely going to be the perfect addition to our family.
While ultrasounds do provide the advantage of seeing any apparent defects, I consider them more fun than anything else. That's why we'll be doing the 20 week and even a 3D a little later on.

Never had genetic testing but this time they want us to. I need to research it more before making a decision but because we are having 2 we do want as few surprises as possible if that makes sense.

I'm one of the early nuchal measuring momma's on here (first time in three pregnancies I've had it done, the other two just had the 18 week scan) and my post about a larger than normal measurement might have been one of the kickstarts to this thread. If my second son had not died after his birth due to an issue that should have been caught on ultrasound I wouldn't have had the earlier scan this time around.
If my next scan shows more increased markers I might have an amnio. It just depends on the results. If there are many markers I want to know if it is Downs or Trisomy 13 or 18.
But, as the genetic counselor told us, ultrasound only catches about 50% of genetic problems. Anyone know if that is an accurate assessment???

I just turned 39 in my 2end trimester and am not testing . I had my first at 37 and i remember the stress that we went with the info. Despite all that ,i still held onto not testing and we did fine. I will put my energy on eating right and taking care of myself. All the rest will be accepatable no matter what comes.
I'm 32, no testing w/either of my other two pg - 2 early ultrasounds w/#1 b/c of early bleeding, which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't repeat now.
I'm just strongly of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought. I think my body would let me know if there was something actualy wrong with a baby by miscarrying or other signs. Not all abnormalities are "wrong" in my view, just different. Different isn't bad in my value system.
This is a personal choice, though. I'm fully supportive of moms having whatever available testing gives them peace of mind.

I WOH part-time, am a doula & childbirth educator, home/unschool, and hope we are nearing the center of chaos
It also seemed to me that based on the threads more mamas were choosing to have early screening than not. I guess it makes sense since getting screening results makes for news to share (and I'm so glad to have it all shared and discuss folks' results!). So, mostly I was just curious...
As always, there's no judgment implied here AT ALL. Each of us has to make the decision that makes sense for our families, our babies, and our selves.

I would recommend it to all tourists. First, it gives a good idea what to do in NYC. Second, it saves you a lot of money. You get a booklet at any place that are listed in your receipt and just enjoy!

Five Midlands residents have been diagnosed with the flu already this season, according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
"This confirmation reinforces the need for vaccination and the good sense steps to prevent the spread of the flu virus," said Dr. Linda Bell, a DHEC epidemiologist, in a press release.
The department is urging residents to wash their hands, to cough into a tissue or their sleeve and to stay home from work or school at the first signs of illness.
Typical flu season runs through spring.
In March, DHEC reported more than 40,000 positive rapid tests for Influenza A and more than 8,000 positive rapid tests for Influenza B in South Carolina during the 2012-13 flu season.

The green is the giveaway.
Look at photos of most races, and you'll see a sea of all-black tires. Look at Roubaix, Flanders, or any of the other cobbled classics, and you'll see a lot more earth tones popping up. There are a few tire manufacturers capable of producing tires for one of the most difficult sporting events on the planet, and Vittoria is one of them. The Open Pave EVO CG III is the latest in a long line of ultra-supple tires designed to take the edge off the cobblestones.

Sweet, sweet, ride!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just swapped out my Bontrager R4 25mm 220 tpi clinchers for these Vittoria 27mm tires. All I can say is what a great tire. I don't know if its the extra 2mm or the super high thread count, but I'm 175lbs and I ran these at 110 lbs and they were like riding a magic carpet. I could probably run them at 100lbs with no problem. I ride regular chip seal but in Colorado there are a lot of expansion cracks and hitting them can be bone jarring, even on my Domane. But with these they all but disappear...love em.
what size tubes for 27C ?
I just use the usual 23C tubes.
Rides nice, 25C Smaller than expected
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The 27C tires roll smooth, feel great on chip seal roads and were confidence inspiring on a recent 12 mile winding descent in a surprise rain storm. The sizes are a bit funky. Bought the 25C first but it measured the same width casing as a 23C Corsa CX. Exchanged for the 27 C which was 4 mm wider than the 25C version. The 27C version weighs 247grams. Backcountry was great with the return. Over all very happy with the 27C version.

NEW ORLEANS - It started off as a day of celebration and ended with a life threatening head injury that sent a Tulane student to the hospital.
The victim says he was on his bicycle when a passing driver beat him unconscious on Mardi Gras Day.
When Will Sampson ventured out on Mardi Gras day, he never expected he would end up in the Oschner Medical Center ICU.
'My brain was hemorrhaging and I could have died, and that's really frightening,' said Sampson, who was still in the ICU Thursday night.
It started around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, when Sampson was biking home with a friend near Press and St. Claude, according to Sampson. Sampson said a car made a u-turn in an effort to avoid a train crossing the tracks at that intersection.
Sampson said the silver Nissan Altima crossed over two lanes of traffic, and into the bike lane, nearly hitting him and his friend.
That's when the unexpected happened.
'This guy just got out of his car and it was really quick, he just came up to me and punched me in the face,' said Sampson.
Sampson fell backward, suffering a concussion and a fractured jaw. He doesn't remember the incident. Everything he knows about what happened, he's heard from his friend, Mike Luberda, who was on the scene with him.
'I hear this deafening crack,' said Luberda. 'I'm still shaken that I saw his eyes go up into his head, laying on the ground there.'
Luberda said the driver appeared intoxicated and fled the scene when Sampson lost consciousness. He said almost no words were exchanged.
'I was so astounded there was no vocal interface, just straight up aggression because he thought you know we weren't supposed to be on the road. He was just, obviously completely unaware bike lanes exist for a reason,' said Luberda.
Sampson, a Tulane student from Colorado, said it's making him reconsider his plans to make New Orleans his long-term home.
'If this guy is not caught, it means that chaos is allowed to reign in the streets and that our police force is not capable of keeping it under control, and unfortunately that's the stereotype that is attached to our city,' said Sampson.
For now, Sampson is working to recover and comprehend how a passing driver could beat a cyclist unconscious and flee the scene. New Orleans Police say fifth detectives are still trying gather more information on any possible suspects or what may have prompted the incident.
Detectives interviewed Sampson in his hospital room Thursday night.
They said the license plate number given by witnesses did not check out.
Meanwhile, Luberda describes the driver as a 5'10' white male in a silver Nissan Altima with Louisiana plates ending in '344.'
If you have any information that could help police, call the Fifth District or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
