Narnia Born Again
Lewis's seventy books, most of which have never gone out of print, have sold at least 50 million copies. Counting the C.S. Lewis Summer Institute, at least seven major conferences convened to celebrate last year's centenary of his birth. Attending those conferences were thousands of members of C.S. Lewis institutes, centers and societies in Colorado, California, Washington, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, New York and Oregon. Between conferences, an Internet listserv nourishes Lewisians with discussions on topics such as whether Lewis's ghost inhabits his former home. Many evangelical churches and universities routinely study his work; these classes are enriched by media events like the new series of radio plays based on Narnia, produced by James Dobson's organization Focus on the Family. In St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Monrovia, California, there is even an eight-foot stained-glass window of Lewis and the characters from Narnia.
Yet in canonizing Lewis, evangelicals have had to ignore significant doctrinal differences with their hero. Lewis believed in purgatory, for instance, and he rejected the inerrancy of Scripture. And then there were his personal habits. The evangelist Bob Jones Jr., after visiting Lewis at Oxford, was aghast. "That man smokes a pipe, and that man drinks liquor," he exclaimed, "but I do believe he is a Christian!"
To understand how Lewis became the patron saint of American evangelicals, you have to go back to Clarence Darrow. During the Scopes trial, Darrow dismissed fundamentalists as "bigots and ignoramuses." Such judgments have continued to reverberate in American popular culture, and evangelicals feel tainted and slighted by them. Their resentment has fueled the construction of a subculture of evangelical colleges, universities and media companies, all to protect evangelicals from the threat of persecution by the secular world and to provide a platform from which they can persuade their persecutors to repent.
Tony Campolo, a professor of sociology at Eastern College in Pennsylvania and a leading evangelical preacher, states bluntly, "We suffer from an intellectual inferiority complex. That's why all these Christian colleges were created." Lewis, an Oxford don and a Cambridge professor, was the first academic with unimpeachable secular credentials to articulate a faith that could be endorsed by evangelicals rooted in Scripture and driven toward conversion. "He was the first to say they weren't crazy, retarded people from another age," Campolo goes on. "There isn't anybody on the scene now who gives evangelicals that kind of credibility."
But not everybody is impressed. The only high-profile literary figure who's written a book-length study of Lewis is the British novelist and critic A.N. Wilson. To the horror of evangelicals, his C.S. Lewis: A Biography (1990) fixed on Lewis's sadomasochistic sexual fantasies and claimed that Lewis carried on an illicit affair with a married woman almost twice his age--his best friend's mother. Wilson also savaged Lewis's admirers. His book begins with a scathing picture of evangelicals at Wheaton College in Illinois, whose library houses the world's foremost collection of Lewis manuscripts and ephemera. Wilson later told the Independent of London, "At Wheaton College...they are hardline, fairly stupid fundamentalists, who made Lewis into a god. They see him as an intellectual who believed in all the supernatural parts of religion--who underpins all their prejudices."
By designating Lewis their apostle to the skeptics, evangelicals have trapped themselves in a painful paradox: Lewis is the man who's supposed to ease their inferiority complex, but the world's hostility to him just makes things worse.
Evangelicals take this rejection personally, reasoning that if people don't pay attention to Lewis, it must be their own fault. They ascribe to Lewis intellectual and spiritual powers beyond anything most mortals can attain. Fatalism creeps in. The question arises, Can any believer understand Lewis well enough to carry on his legacy and earn the world's respect?

Boll denied MGS wish
In their second podcast of the last two weeks, Kojima Productions update an interested gaming community on the latest happenings at the respected studio. As well as outlining the studios latest design efforts, the Ryan Payton presented podcast also offers an insight into the mind of the great designer himself, Hideo Kojima. Through the new podcast, Kojima addresses persistent rumours surrounding a Metal Gear Solid film, including the prospect of director Uwe Boll taking charge of the project.
Boll announced his interest in the series during an interview last year, stating that he hoped to be involved in a future Metal Gear Solid movie project, sparking concerned outcry from fans of the game, worried that Boll would murder their favourite game on the big-screen.
We needn't have worried, as it turns out, Hideo Kojima has no intention of lending Boll his IP, the designer stating: "Absolutely not! I don't know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this thing," Kojima stated. "We've never talked to him. It's impossible that we'd ever do a movie with him." So that's that, then. Sorry Dr. Boll.
German director Uwe Boll has in the past orchestrated films such as Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead, and most recently BloodRayne. His film's are widely regarded as among the worst in the industry, but despite this fact, he continues to accrue franchises to turn into films, having already nabbed Dungeon Siege and.. shudder.. Postal. More as we get it.

Kunateh Lodge: Kunateh Lodge
The Kunateh Lodge is the only place where I've slept in Wa, but if you are going there I have one advice: choose a different one! You will find Kunateh Lodge at about a 5 minutes walk from the central Tro-Tro station, towards the south.
The rooms in this guesthouse are spacious, and have a TV in it. But that are about the only advantages of this place. The toilet- and shower facilities are dirty, the shower hardly gives water, and what comes out is cold. The beds in the bedroom are big, but the matrasses are disgusting, as well as the pillows and there are no sheets you can use: so bring your own!
And the worst thing about Kunateh Lodge is: the price is way overpriced! For one night in a self-contained twin bedroom you pay 150.000 cedis ($15,-) which is extremely much for Ghanaian standards. I don't know if there are cheaper places to sleep in Wa, but for that amount of money there have to be better place at least!

Upland Hotel: Wa's Best Hotel
Most of the guests at this hotel are businessmen from Burkina Faso, Kumasi, or Accra. The Hotel Rooms are rustic, but quiet adequate. We had to share a shower down the hall, but that was OK. The restaurant at this hotel provided the best basic meal we had while in Wa. One can choose a room with or without A/C, but in Wa, A/C is highly recommended to avoid the mosquitoes. Price? Depending upon room quality ranges from about $10-25 dollars. Incidentally, there is an internet cafe in town that has a good connection.
The Hotel is a series of single story buildings built around a central restaurant and entertainment area. I believe there was a pool as well, but we didn't use it. In the lobby of the hotel is a television set. The hotel can help arrange for getting a driver or provide other travel related information. Don't get your hope up if you demand American style hotels in this part of Ghana: They simply don't exist. But, this is a good as Wa can produce. Sorry I don't have a picture of it. There are cheaper places to stay in town, of course.

Famous names inducted into 'Shakespeare Hall of Fame'
Published: Thursday 5th of February 2009
A host of figures from the dramatic arts are to be inducted into the Shakespeare Hall of Fame.
Constructed by the Shakespeare Birth Trust at its visitor centre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the exhibition will recognise some of the finest actors to portray the Bard's characters as well as other key figures associated with his life and work.
So far 12 of the eventual 13 inductees have been named. Among them is Leonardo DiCaprio, who shot to global fame in Baz Luhrman's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
British thespian favourite Kenneth Brannagh, widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation, is also included, alongside national treasures Patrick Stewart, Laurence Olivier and Judi Dench.
Elsewhere, writers Charles Dickens and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's contemporary, are also included as champions of his work and reputation.
A shortlist of ten candidates to fill the final spot has also been released and it includes, perhaps most notably, current darling of the British theatre scheme David Tennant, who has just completed a brilliantly successful run as Hamlet.
LondonPass holders can embark on a tour of Shakespeare's Globe, the home of contemporary Shakespearean performance and study, for free.

Add your Savannah Airport Review
Savannah Airport Ranking
Rating : 10/10
Flew in to Savannah/Hilton Head International 29 September 2014 and departed 13 October 2014. Once again an
absolute pleasure to use. My wife and I use this airport frequently when we travel to Hilton Head Island, South
Carolina. On arrival my wife goes straight to the car rental desks (about 25 yards from baggage reclaim) and I get
the baggage from the belt. Baggage retrieval usually takes 10 minutes or so and by this time the car rental
formalities have just about been completed. The cars are just outside the Terminal doors, and in about 20 minutes
we are on the Interstate. On departure checking in with United Express is a breeze after handing back the rental
car, and then there is a very pleasant courtyard with retail / café outlets before going through security. Even
through security there are a surprising number and variety of eating and drinking outlets with a few retail shops.
Usual caveat - if you have a late departure they may not all be open. If only all Airports were this charming and
nice to use.
Chicago O'Hare to Savannah and return 9 October. Have used Savannah / HHI International for many years when flying to
Hilton Head Island SC. A really very pleasant little airport serving mostly Delta and United Express internal flights.
Friendly check in staff, quick luggage retrieval and absolutely the best Car Rental desks - just 50 yards along the
same floor from Luggage Retrieval with the cars park right outside the Terminal. This is a relatively small
International Airport but there is a pleasant courtyard with a couple of shops and eating choices with lots of tables
and chairs, and a great information desk. Once through security there is a surprising range of nice eating choices BUT
of course they may not necessarily be open for a late night departure. Have used many USA Airports over the years but
this (and Reno/Sparks in Nevada) is the gem - would unhesitatingly recommend.

Welcome to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeast Kansas
Ronald McDonald House Charities lifts children and families of children receiving medical care in Topeka. Serving Topeka and Northeast Kansas since 1988, RMHC is staffed 365 days a year by both full-time and part-time staff as well as our wonderful volunteers.
"I'm not sure what we would have done without the Ronald McDonald House. We didn't have the money to stay anywhere or the money for any food, but the RMH gave us a room and a fridge full of food. The House was warm and cozy and the staff couldn't have been any nicer. I want to thank you for that, and even now we haven't forgotten."
How We Help You
We provide a place for the families of children in area hospitals to sleep, to shower and get a hot meal, in addition to providing them with a place to recuperate after a long day or night at the hospital. Our house allows families to focus on what is most important - the recovery and healing of a sick child.
Meal Makers Needed
Our guests have access to a large, fully-stocked kitchen and are welcome to prepare their own meals. However, sometimes it is nice for them, after a long day at the hospital, to come back to a home-cooked meal. Want to become a Meal Maker in 2015? We have some spots available, email Kassidie for details.
Get Involved
From monetary donations to donations of needed supplies to volunteering on a regular basis or for a one-time event, RMHC always needs the generous support of YOU that we are able to help the families in their time of need.

When building a PC on a budget, one of the most difficult components to pick out is the chassis. For many, $100 is the sweet-spot, as it usually gives a solid design and great aesthetics. With the help of the Beta, though, NZXT helps prove that even $50 chassis' can handle the task at hand just fine, and after our look, we're impressed.
I must say that overall, I am very pleased with the BETA. When I first removed it from the packaging, I had yet to research the retail pricing. I was taken back when I found out the cost is roughly $50US. I have yet to see another fully painted chassis in this price level. It is amazing how something as simple as paint can really dress up the inside.
The overall design also merits some praise. The optional dual 120mm side intakes are a nice feature and the grating is large so there will be little restriction. The rear panel is also grated for extra airflow and the addition of the mesh PCI slot covers is like the icing on the cake. I am just not used to seeing this level of attention to detail in this price range.
One feature that is usually underwhelming is tool-less drive devices. Here again I was greeted with a very simple yet extremely effective design that holds the drives as tight as screws. They are also easily adjustable and allow for the end user to set the depth of their ODD drives to their taste. The HDD rails are easy to use and effective and the addition of locking screws was a pleasant surprise.
I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of a rear exhaust fan. When you combine the heat load of the processor, graphics card, motherboard and memory there is just too much stagnant air inside. The front intake fan is forced to blow around the hard drive cage so it loses quite a bit of effectiveness as well. I would advise anyone purchasing this case to pick at least one extra fan up. It will definitely make a difference.
Overall I give this case a strong 8 out of 10. As I said before, I have never come across a chassis in this price range with so many features. The low-end market has a new benchmark to hit in my mind and it is not going to be easy for the competition to match it. I would humbly suggest the addition of the rear exhaust fan even if the price were to go up slightly, but the lack of it would not deter me for a second to just install my own as well. Make sure you give this one a thorough look if you just can't cough up the dough for a high-end case.

PH 'tech men' to work Subic Asian Triathlon
THE TRIATHLON Association of the Philippines (Trap) hopes to showcase its strong technical program when it stages the K-Swiss Subic Bay ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships 2013 next month.
Trap secretary general Mon Marchan heads the local organizing committee with Rachel Ribo Dumuk of the Philippine Sports Commission acting as chief technical official. Both hold a Level 3 ITO, the highest in the International Triathlon Union's technical rating for race officials.
"We have been focusing on the development of technical officials since we started the Subic Bay International Triathlon in 1993 and it's heartening to see the fruits of our efforts," said Trap president and Philippine Olympic Committee chair Tom Carrasco.
Marchan, chair of the Asian Triathlon Confederation (ASTC) technical committee, lent his expertise to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, while Dumuk also served as ITO in both the Beijing and London Olympics.
Fabian David (Level 2 ITO) will serve as assistant technical delegate to China's Qin Jianqui (Level 3) in the race set April 27 to 29.
Also taking charge in various legs are Alex David (run), Meinard David (swim), Armand Fabi (bike) and Willie Pabuaya (chief finish).
Trap vice president Red Dumuk (race accuracy), Level 2 ITO Rick Reyes (protocol chief), ASTC congress meeting project director Ting Joson and Sarita Zafra (marketing) round off the local staff.
Singapore's Daniel Ang (Level 2) will help run the ParaTriathlon where Japan's Kiryo Suzuki (Level 3) is the referee. Jasmine W. Payo

This week at the Detroit auto show I spoke with Porsche AG President and CEO Matthias Müller. The 57-year-old German was circumspect about the specifics of Porsche's integration into Volkswagen but open about his commitment to sports cars while also trying new things in the product line. He was only half joking when he mentioned a convertible Panamera…I think.
China will be key for Porsche in the next decade. The automaker plans to triple its 35 dealerships there in the next five years; Asia currently accounts for 30% of Porsche business.
"Chinese buyers love money, they love prestige," Müller said. "In two or three years, China could be our biggest market."
The aspiration from Chinese consumers extends to car racing, so Porsche is building tracks in Shanghai and Beijing.
"We are working hard to increase the topic of motorsport in China," Müller says.
As for new offerings from Porsche, something based-on-but-smaller-than the Boxster (built on a VW platform, possibly with an inline-four engine), will come in the next year or two. There's also a small SUV called the "Cajun" (pronounced "kah-YOON") in the works. Müller said he realized they'll have to think of a new name for the production version after American colleagues started pronouncing it "kay-jun".
Müller's broader goal with Porsche is to change its pacing.
"The problem of Porsche today is one of lifecycle," Müller said. "We have the Carrera, the Cayman and the Boxster, and the lifecycle of those cars is very close together."
That proximity means Porsche goes years without brand-new products to flaunt at auto shows and showrooms–Müller wants to launch one big new product every year with other "smaller" offerings (facelifts, etc.) happening every year and a half or so. And if the automaker had a seventh model in its lineup, he says, then a seven-year lifecycle for each vehicle would work perfectly.
But he emphasized his commitment to the 911 crowd despite plans to further splice the brand with more models.

INTERPOL is working with the World Bank Integrity Vice Presidency to fight corruption related to World Bank funded projects. The effort, described here, is certainly a worthy one. The idea behind this, or any anti-corruption campaign, is that support will be provided to countries so that they can cull out the corrupt elements of their governments and general society after detecting them.
A question that arises when any country launches an anti-corruption initiative is this: Who's watching the watcher?
Any observer of anti-corruption drives can attest that with such efforts usually comes a measure of . . . corruption. How does it happen?
The anti-corruption effort can be used as a shield to cover politically motivated criminal charges, as has been seen in countries such as Ethiopia, Indonesia, Cameroon, and Malaysia. After criminal charges are filed and the accused has reason to believe that his rights will continue to be violated, he often flees the jurisdiction and a Red Notice is issued.
With the World Bank Integrity Vice Presidency aiding in the investigation of allegedly corrupt activity, the hope is certainly that such investigations will be more transparent and properly targeted than we might otherwise see.

- Compliance Deadlines
This issue of Perspectives provides a comprehensive discussion of the final Department of Labor regulations on Plan Service Provider Fee Disclosures (issued on February 2, 2012 and required to be provided to plan fiduciaries by July 1, 2012) and Participant-level Fee Disclosures for Participant-Directed Plans, such as 401(k) plans, (issued on October 14, 2010 and required to be provided initially to participants who may direct investments in their accounts by August 30, 2012 for calendar year plans). Susan Serota and Kathleen Bardunias of our New York Executive Compensation and Benefits group address the scope of the requirement for plan service providers to provide certain fee-related information to plan fiduciaries to help them assess whether such fees are "reasonable" under the ERISA prohibited transaction exemption provided in ERISA section 408(b)(2) for the provision of services between a plan and a party-in-interest. Howard Clemons of our Northern Virginia office updates an earlier Client Alert to reflect the coordination of the effective dates for plan service provider fee disclosures with the participant-level disclosures effective dates. We have also included "Next Steps for Responsible Plan Fiduciaries" for each disclosure requirement. (p.2)
- Department of Labor Issues Final Regulations on Fee Disclosures for Pension Plans
On February 2, 2012, the Department of Labor released the final regulations under Section 408(b)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") subjecting certain retirement plan service providers to new disclosure obligations that are intended to assist retirement plan fiduciaries in assessing the "reasonableness" of the contract or arrangement in connection with the ERISA section 408(b)(2) prohibited transaction exemption. (p.4)
- Department of Labor Issues Final Regulations on Fee Disclosures for Participant-Directed Plans
On October 14, 2010, the Department of Labor released final regulations detailing a plan administrator's fiduciary responsibilities regarding disclosure of plan and investment-related information, including fee and expense information, to participants and beneficiaries of participant-directed individual account plans such as 401(k) plans.

1. Based on your experience and familiarity with the fellows and the programs, what did the Pew program really accomplish? What are the most important contributions?
The most important contribution has been to create a network of people who continue to interact and who continue to have important positions in the policy system, both public and private policy. These people understand and know each other and are able to get things done. The policy system does not work through formal authority channels but most often through informal channels, and it's not what you know but who you know that counts; the networking was really important. Secondly, I think that the Pew program got some people involved in health policy from perspectives that would not otherwise have been present. This relates a lot to what the Boston University (BU)/Brandeis program specifically intended to do. One of the core concepts for the program was to create a shortened, highly focused program that would reduce the time and cost barriers so that people who were already actively engaged in health care concerns could come back and get that doctoral education and go out and be effective. More than just getting busy people, what we wanted to do was to get people from nontraditional sectors like business to come in and to begin to create a different type of cadre of people who could span both public-and private-sector concerns. At the time that this program was started there was an awakening of the notion that in fact if change was going to occur (and we had no sense that it was going to occur as rapidly or as dramatically as it has), we had to get policy issues out of the public sector and involve the private sector. So, the whole focus, at least of the Boston University side of the BU/Brandeis program, was to try to create links with the business community where attempts were already being made to control costs, improve quality, and gain a handle on what was going on in the health care system. I think that was a pretty significant contribution of the program in total as well as one of the major contributions of at least the BU side of the BU/Brandeis combine.
We can also say that we identified a very bright group of dedicated people who were trained and connected to some of the major policy leaders in the country, and we probably shortened the amount of time that it took them to become effective in the system. The other great thing of the Pew program was the many different opportunities the stu-

SDSU earns 4th straight NCAA tournament berth
Fisher said the difference in the second half of the season was tough league play. The MWC sent five teams to the NCAA tournament.
"Again, it's the league that we play in, and this year we found ways to be in close games, but we came up a play or two short." Fisher said. "If you're going to have a great season, you're going to have to win those types of games."
Senior guard Chase Tapley will be playing in his fourth NCAA tournament.
"It's a good feeling, and I'm glad I'm going in my last year," he said.
Fisher said he doesn't know much about Oklahoma, other than he and coach Lon Kruger exchanged text messages a few times this season congratulating each other after big wins.
The winner of the SDSU-Oklahoma game plays the winner of No. 2 seed Georgetown vs. No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast.

Cancer cases to rise 40% by 2030; aging population fuel increase: report
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Andrea, a sweet-faced six-year-old girl with a gentle smile, snuggled into her mother's legs as we talked.
Her lemon yellow sundress was once fresh and bright, but now bore the scattered stains and ragged edges of a favourite dress that never gets a rest. Her breathing was slightly laboured and a tell-tale wheeze stopped her sentences short. The earthy aroma of wood smoke permeated her clothing.
Her mother wondered why she coughed through the night and had to stop to rest so often when they walked up the winding path from the cornfields to the village. One listen to her chest with the stethoscope and the reason became obvious.
This girl had asthma and was living in a tiny one-room home with a cooking fire in the house. She had never before received treatment. We spent some time educating her mother about keeping the fire outside the home, sweeping the floor daily and keeping animals out of the house for the sake of her daughter. Meanwhile, Melanie, one of our nurses, taught the girl the correct technique for an asthmatic inhaler that will relieve her symptoms in short order.
We were back again in the village of Tepecoyo, up in the lush, green hills of El Salvador, one year after our previous visit to this rural village. Our team bus had snaked its way up meandering mountain roads, overlooking beautiful verdant valleys lined with banana, coconut and graceful acacia trees. Fences were lined with purple bougainvillea vines and brilliant red poinsettias dotted the roadsides between villages.
Our team of medical and dental professionals, working under the auspices of the international relief organization Speroway, numbered 39 Canadians and dozens of Central American counterparts.
Dr. Elizabeth Russell came across a 30-year-old woman with an enlarged thyroid gland distorting her neck. She had bulging eyes and shaky, sweaty hands. This was clearly a case of an overactive thyroid, a condition called Graves' disease.
Dr. Russell called over one of her Salvadorian colleagues and drafted a plan for treatment and referral. The woman was moved by all the attention and stands to receive life-altering treatment from a chance encounter at the mobile clinic.
Meanwhile, the dental team laboured away in the tropical heat, working non-stop through the day in their portable clinic. Dr. Jack Cottrell and his wife, Michelle, restored a dazzling smile to a 13-year-old girl named Lizet. Without their intervention that day, she would have lost all her front teeth to decay in a matter of a year or two.
Nearby, a young woman stood and hugged Dr. Jerry Isenberg after he was finished restoring her teeth with state-of-the-art equipment.
"You are the best dentist ever," she said as his assistant, Collette Roberge, sat back and beamed.
There is plenty of laughter shared between the Canadians and the locals -- gifts of soccer balls and basketballs, bubbles and stuffed toys help bridge the differences -- but we also share some of the harder stories in life.
Mothers and grandmothers fret over the influence of gangs on the teenage boys. Fourteen-year-old girls nurse their newborn babies with a fever. Middle-aged women lie awake at night with chest pain and palpitations as they wrestle with wayward children and crumbling marriages. Overwhelming stress and despair lurk in the shadows here just as they do at home.
It is in these moments that we realize we are bound by our common humanity. Life is a daily struggle and we crave relief from the things that weigh us down. We find small signs of hope in the tenderness of family members, the assistance of neighbours and the community around us, and sometimes the generosity of strangers, even those from another land.
As the setting sun lights up the Salvadoran sky in a beautiful palette of purple, red and orange, we drive quietly back to our home base, each of us moved by the day's experience, looking inward as much as outward.
We all long for a way that is full of hope and renewal. And each day we catch a small glimpse of that road.
Dr. Steve Russell is a Port Perry physician who took part in a Speroway medical mission in El Salvador from Nov. 2 to 10. To read more about the medical mission, visit www.speroway.com/blog.

Victor Oladipo and Will Sheehey both scored 14 points to lead No. 1 Indiana to an 87-51 win over Coppin State on Saturday night. The top-ranked Hoosiers (8-0) overcame poor shooting at the start of the game and pulled away from the Eagles (1-6). Indiana missed its first nine shots and didn't take the lead until Christian Watford's 3-pointer with 9:25 left in the first half. That gave Indiana a 14-11 lead, and the Hoosiers never trailed again. Watford and Remy Abell both added 10 points to the winning effort as Indiana recovered from its early shooting woes and finished 31 of 60 (51.7 percent) from the field. Coppin State (1-6), playing its first game ever against the nation's top-ranked team, showed little stage fright. The Eagles fell to 1-48 against ranked teams and 0-25 in games against Big Ten opponents. Taariq Cephas led Coppin State with 13 points, and Michael Murray had 9 points and 12 rebounds, marking his sixth straight game with double-digit rebounds. Coppin State ent...

The ARF principle – absolute rigid flexibility – is one of many things that Suzanne "Su" Wilkinson Davis has learned in 25 years as a Boy Scouts volunteer.
That outlook has helped Su accept difficulties in her life – including the devastating news last year that she had life-threatening liver and bile duct cancer. The diagnosis struck the active 66-year-old mother and grandmother unexpectedly last fall.
Routine bloodwork from her annual physical came back abnormal. So, Su underwent additional tests and was diagnosed with stage III cancer that was spreading quickly.
"From the moment I was diagnosed, it was an emotional and physical rollercoaster," says Su. "I had no symptoms and felt great, so it didn't make sense. But I knew the diagnosis was real and I had to act fast."
Her Oklahoma-hometown physicians could not pinpoint where Su's cancer originated from, only that it was spreading, so she decided to seek a second opinion. Her son suggested she come to Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals.
On November 21, Su met with Nancy Lewis, MD, medical oncologist with the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. After running more tests, Dr. Lewis examined Su and suggested she meet with her colleague Cataldo Doria, MD, PhD, director of Jefferson's Division of Transplantation.
Dr. Doria discussed her treatments options extensively. The cancer was too extensive to allow the surgeon to cut it out with the liver in Su's body as often done. But Dr. Doria felt that Su could undergo a liver auto-transplant – in which the surgeon and his team would remove the patient's liver, cut out the cancer on a table in the OR and reimplant the organ.
"Ms. Davis' case was very unique in that there was a chance to remove the cancerous portion of her liver and allow her to keep the healthy portion through a procedure called liver auto-transplant," explains Dr. Doria.
"Not every liver cancer patient is a candidate for this procedure, but because of the way the cancer was positioned in the liver, we were able to consider this option," he says. "It's a very rare procedure."
While an auto transplant was an option for Su, Dr. Doria counseled her that it was a challenging operation and her chance of surviving the operation was 50-50.
"I decided I needed to do this," says Su. "I not only had the chance to survive but also to return to the quality of life I enjoy."
Su is active and has long spent much of her time in the outdoors.
"Fly fishing, golfing, gardening, camping and volunteering with Tulsa's Zoo, the Boy Scouts and the Oxley Nature Center, top my outdoor interests. While indoors, I like to cook, knit and quilt. I decided the surgery was worth a shot and my family backed me 100 percent."
So, on December, 2, 2011, Su was wheeled to the OR.
In a 12-hour procedure, Dr. Doria and his transplant team removed Su's liver completely from her body. Then, Dr. Doria cut away the tumor from her liver. He then transplanted Su's "healthy" liver back into her body, reattaching each blood vessel to the organ.
After surgery, Su was in a coma. She emerged from a coma about two weeks after the surgery. Soon after, she started inpatient rehabilitation.
"I learned how to walk, eat and write again. I quickly graduated from a wheelchair to a walker to a cane … and then just my legs."
Su spent Christmas and New Year's Day in the hospital. When released, she rented an apartment in Delaware to be close to her son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
She remained in the area for another four months and continued coming to Jefferson for follow-up appointments.
"I feel great and can't believe I was as sick as I was. I am mastering the bus and train schedules and visited both the Philadelphia International Flower Show and the Philadelphia Museum of Art's 'Van Gogh Up Close' exhibit alone," she says. "Along this journey, I've had many 'a-ha' moments. Being able to go and enjoy myself without help was one of those moments."
What does the future hold for Su? The prognosis is good. Future testing will determine whether she will need preventative chemotherapy and radiation.
"A lot has happened in my world," says Su. "But thanks to a great medical team and the support of my family, I feel very fortunate and thankful. Instead of seeing this cancer as a problem, I see it was an opportunity … to build on my past experiences and continue to learn and grow."

Nope. I go for "best I can do without ignoring the objective to a painful extent". I don't care if we win or lose as long as I gave it at least a 3 on the "playing the objective" 1-10 scale.

Short answer is no. As others have said sometimes I'll get 2 or 3 K/D and then other times you just get into a really bad lobby and you'll be able to pull 20+ K/D or even better sometimes. I've also been playing League Play lately and if you are actually going for the win against quality players you'll have a hard time getting a 2 K/D.

95% of people with K/D 2 or higher dashboard
75% seems more reasonable. I have 2.56 k/d because I play solo team deathmatch all the time. Going in objective gametypes seems pointless to me, because I'll mostly lose to coordinated teams. There is also no point to dashboarding to me because it will get me off my game and it takes too long to get back into the game. My xbox isn't in it's best shape now, so it sometimes takes ages for it to read the disc. Cherry picking a lobby is also pointless to me, because 90% of the people I play in team deathmatch are already terrible (<0.9 k/d). I have the most fun playing people who have a weekly k/d of at least 2, because playing against terrible player gets boring very quickly. After the DLC was released a lot more good players got back into TDM, so I'm having more fun as of then.

Less than 24 hours ago we learned that Lou Reed had died. It's no surprise that he's already been lionized by the vanguards of music: David Bowie, Morrissey, John Cale, The Strokes, The Who, Pixies...His death feels like a profound loss to the cultural world, certainly the most significant in my lifetime. Reed made order out of chaos and chaos out of order for millions over a 50-year career, creating transformative music with a sneering disregard for popular opinion or commercial success. "Whenever we hear sounds, we are changed," said Stockhausen, and that's especially true of the Velvet Underground lynchpin, solo contrarian, king of NY cool. Here are some of the tracks we'll be listening to in the NME office today.

rallar, verb:
to grate
Another cooking word it's useful to know is rallar, to grate. You can apply it to all the things for which you use grate in English, especially queso, cheese.
una cucharadita de parmesano rallado
a teaspoonful of grated Parmesan
coco rallado
grated coconut
Where Spanish differs from English is that pan rallado, word for word 'grated bread', means breadcrumbs.
Pasarlos por el huevo batido con sal y pimienta, y después por el pan rallado.
Dip them in the seasoned beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumbs.
To grate anything, you will need the derived word un rallador, a grater.

My laptop is good, but my main use for my computer is email, a little ebay, shooping, a letter every once in awhile and pictures. I am thinking that I would like some of the picture apps that apple has to offer. Here is my question/thought as to what I want to be able to do. We do not have an apple store here, closest is 200 miles away and the next time I will be near an actual store is after the New Year and I am not a fan of Best Buy and not sure I trust what they would tell me. So here is what I am thinking:
Buying an Ipad3 (memory ??), buying a dedicated doc with a real keyboard, buying the attachment they sell to download pictures and here's the real question.. do I have the ability to download let's say a days worth of pictures, edit them, send the ones I want to print and then completly move them off the Ipad to the cloud or is the cloud a back up service only? If yes, then I have found the perfect solution, if no.. then what can I do because I use a very high resolution DSLR camera and even when I weed out pics, they still take up tons of memory (hence the reason I have 1800 pics on my camera right now in waiting)..
Please help me!!

Police station due to reopen after wiring fire
Only emergency operations were functioning there
Corpus Christi police officials plan to reopen the department's main station/Municipal Court building downtown today after a fire early Monday morning caused the building to be closed for all but emergency operations.
The small electrical fire appears to have been caused by corroded wires leading into the building from an underground electrical vault, according to a news release. Corpus Christi fire officials said the fire resulted in some smoke damage, but no major structure damage.
"We adapt, improvise and overcome," Chief Bryan Smith said Monday. "It's a work in progress, but it's remarkable how quick we were able to do so."
The cause of the fire is unknown but the building's wiring is old, Smith said.
"We are just thankful that it didn't result in further damage to the building or cause injuries to personnel," Smith said.
On Monday, most of the Municipal Court operations were relocated to Environmental Court on the first floor of the Wilson Plaza building at the intersection of Leopard and North Carancahua streets, where they will remain if the main station is not reopened today.
Scheduled trials in Municipal Court were canceled, and defendants with scheduled trials had to go to Municipal Court to be granted an extension. Customers were able to pay fines at the teller windows at the main Municipal Court facility at 120 N. Chaparral St.
