KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The third-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers know they'll need to create their own energy when they go on the road to play No. 2 Stanford this weekend.
They got some practice putting together some long runs in an 86-56 win over Louisville on Wednesday night.
"Coach emphasized keeping the ball inside and keeping our energy up," Angie Bjorklund said. "We need a 40-minute game. We're working towards that. Stanford will be on their home court. Creating our own energy will be huge when we step on their court."
Three days before Saturday's showdown in California, Bjorklund made one of the biggest contributions to Tennessee's energy, scoring 19 points -- all but four on 3-pointers.
Despite jumping out to a 23-3 lead to open the game, Tennessee (9-0) went cold halfway through the first half as Louisville (6-4) shook off six early turnovers in its first meeting with the Lady Vols.
"I'm not saying I'm a really smart coach, but if you don't shoot, you don't score," said Louisville coach Jeff Walz, who led the Cardinals to the NCAA championship last season. "Once we figured out it's better to throw it to our own team, we did some better things. We started to score."
It turned out that Bjorklund wasn't the only one feeling comfortable behind the arc. Becky Burke hit 7-of-9 from behind the arc, the most 3s any player has made against the Lady Vols this season. She finished with a career-high 23 points.
One of Burke's 3s cut Tennessee's lead to 31-24 with 5:04 left in the half. Free throws by Shekinna Stricklen and a 3 by Bjorklund gave Tennessee a 43-29 halftime lead.
Bjorklund and Stricklen combined for four 3s in the first six minutes of the second half, and Tennessee tied season highs in finishing 9-of-22 from beyond the arc.
Stricklen finished with 15 points and Alyssia Brewer added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Tennessee.
Despite her players forcing the early turnovers by the Cardinals, Summitt wasn't satisfied with the Lady Vols' pressing defense early in the first half.
She switched to a half-court approach at halftime, and by the end of the game Tennessee had forced 24 turnovers and outrebounded Louisville 54-37.
"I'm not going to blame anyone except myself, but our staff wanted to extend our defense," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said. "Looking back, we shouldn't have done that against a team as athletic as Louisville."
Summitt had an early holiday surprise for the Tennessee fans, announcing before the game that she had decided to add the players' names to the back of their jerseys after having them removed during the 2004-05 season because she was frustrated with the play of her players at the time.
She said she made the decision after considering hundreds of letters and e-mails she's gotten from fans in the years since -- some downright demanding, she said -- asking for the names on the jerseys to distinguish the players in the massive Thompson-Boling Arena.
"Merry Christmas," Summitt said to the fans before the game started.

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
US Cellular 3G data roaming issues
US Cellular recently updated its network to support 3G, and it appears that at least a few subscribers are having data roaming issues after updating their mobile phone PRLs (preferred roaming lists) to take advantage of the changes. Specifically, these customers can't send or receive data at all while roaming -- although calls and text messaging still works just fine. US Cellular says the HTC Touch Pro II and the HTC Snap need a specific software upgrade for the carrier's new 3G data roaming PRL to be downloaded correctly, and it's available online. The carrier also suggest that subscribers backup their data before updating by syncing their calendars and contacts with Outlook or the carrier's free My Contacts backup service. Customers should save their pictures and video to a computer. After downloading the update, customers will need to dial *228 on their phone to get the most current national 3G data coverage preferred roaming list. And if this all sounds like way too much hassle, the carrier invites you to visit their local cellular stores and have a technician do it.

1999 Honda Accord Q&A
1999 Honda Accord Question: Tune Up
What exactly is a "tune up"? And when does my car need one? - Visitor
Answer 1
The term "tune up" is subject to interpretation these days. In decades past, a "tune up" was maintenance for your engine's performance. A mechanic would replace your spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, rotor, points, set your timing, adjust your carburetor...etc...etc... These days, since vehicles have evolved so much, a "Tune Up" is limited to replacing spark plugs, checking your throttle body for contamination, checking your air filter...and that's about it. You could get into plug wires and a cap and rotor if you have them still. Finally, some folks refer to any mileage maintenance service (like a 30,000 or 45,000 mile service) as a "tune up". This would include basic maintenance like oil changes, etc... When does your car need a tune up? It's best to refer to your owners manual and maintenance guide for the appropriate intervals of all maintenance service. http://repairpal.com/automobile-owners-manuals-online Go to that link to find a way to obtain a manual if you do not already have one handy. - DaveJHM

Very moist. I added cranberries (dried) because I didn't have dates and added chocolate chips. I would not do cranberries again but otherwise very good!
Four stars instead of five for two reasons: These are definitely not "cookie bars"...it's cake. Second, I didn't necessarily care for the dried fruit...it wasn't bad, just not my favorite addit...

He washed his hands and then moved to use the hand dryer. The bloody thing wouldn't turn on - you know - you need to find where the photocell is or whatever turns it on.

Fun in Rome!
It's hard to make a good first impression even when in an exciting and exotic place. Coming out of the airplane, it was already hot, humid, and crowded. I could already tell that some people (Italian or not) were kind of rude. They wouldn't get out of the way and would go right through our group if they were walking our way. Getting out of the airport and onto the bus wasn't much better. The bus was also very hot. After getting off the bus we then had to find our ...
Taken back to Ancient Rome
We had a tour booked today with Real Rome Tours. The tour would be 3.5 hours which would take us through the Roman Forum and the Colosseum (including the underground and upper level). This was something I was personally looking the most forward to. We got there for 12:15pm as the tour started at 12:30pm. Everyone was there early and we only had a group of 8 people which was great. We were given headsets, Dario (our guide) introduced himself and we were off ...
Rome day 2
... even if at the end we all had bad necks.... Nadia then took us into the St Peters Basilica and explained the various tombs, popes and decoration found within.... I know we all found it amazing... We left Nadia (and the sun came out) and looked around St Peters square before heading off tote Piazza Navona with its fountains.... A short walk later we entered the Pantheon before heading to the Trevi fountain. ...

By the time we walked back to the apartment we had of course to stop for another glass of vino....we stopped at the cafe under our apartment.

Risk Factors for Panic Disorder
A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.It is possible to develop panic disorder with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing panic disorder is. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
AgePanic disorder typically develops between the ages of 15-24, especially for men. However, it can also begin in the 30s and 40s, especially for women. The prevalence of panic disorder seems to be increasing in younger generations.
GenderPanic disorder is twice as common in women as in men. Pregnancy can either improve the condition or make it worse. Panic disorder with agoraphobia is more common in women, too. More than 75% of severe agoraphobics are women.
Family HistoryThere is some evidence that panic disorder and other anxiety disorders tend to run in families. Many studies have shown that panic disorder is common among first-degree relatives of people with panic disorder. Family dynamics, such as overprotective behaviors and failure to learn effective coping skills, may play a role in panic disorder.
Stressful Events in Susceptible PeopleThe initial appearance of panic attacks often follows a highly stressful event, such as, history of childhood sexual or physical abuse, being the victim of a crime, or the loss of a job, loved one, or important relationship.
Increased Sensitivity to Physical SensationsThis occurs when the circuits in the brain take normal events or surroundings and exaggerates them, creating a sense of anxiety. These feelings of anxiety can heighten into repeated panic attacks.
Anxious TemperamentA method of approaching or thinking about ordinary situations and exaggerating them to a point where the body physically reacts to them. The physical response to the anxiety contributes to the onset of panic attacks.
Having Another Mental DisorderIf you have another mental disorder, such as depression , alcoholism , or drug abuse , your risk of developing panic disorder is increased.
SmokingStudies show that cigarette smoking during adolescence and young adulthood contribute to an increased risk of having panic attacks and other anxiety disorders.

A rotatable retractor instrument for expanding a body joint is disclosed. A flattened portion is provided at the distal end of the instrument. With the flattened portion inserted within the joint, rotation of a handle at the instrument's proximal end spreads the joint.
1. A rotatable retractor instrument for expanding a body joint, comprising:
a rod;
a handle located at a proximal end of the rod;
a flattened end portion located at a distal end of the rod, said end portion including a pair of parallel surfaces, spaced from one another by a distance which permits the end portion to be inserted within said joint, and having widths greater than the distance between said surfaces whereby when said handle is rotated with the end portion inserted within the joint, said joint is expanded.
2. A rotatable retractor instrument according to claim 1, wherein distal edges of the end portion are rounded to blunt the end portion at a distal end thereof.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a surgical instrument for spreading a body joint.
2. Prior Art
It is customary to harvest cartilage tissue for pathological analysis or cell reproduction. This involves harvesting cartilage tissue from a patient and processing the tissue in a laboratory to grow a culture. If the cultured cells are then implanted in the patient, two invasions of the patient's body have occurred, each requiring general anesthesia.
It has been recognized that cartilage is available from a synovial joint that is expendable, e.g., the proximal fibular tibial joint. Typically, when harvesting cartilage from such a joint, the joint is sacrificed by being completely opened during the harvesting procedure.
The present invention relates to an instrument which permits access to an expandable joint without sacrificing it. By using this instrument, cartilage can be harvested on an outpatient basis in a procedure requiring only local anesthesia. The invention comprises a rod having a flattened portion at its distal end and a handle at its proximal end. The distal end of the instrument is inserted within the joint and is rotated so as to expand the joint.
The invention will be described in greater detail with respect to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged end elevational view of a distal end portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the rotatable retractor according to the invention comprises a rod 10 having a handle 12 at its proximal end and a flattened portion 14 at its distal end. Portion 14 includes parallel surfaces 16 and 18 which are rounded at their side edges and distal ends to form a retractor which is blunted at its distal end. For use in expanding a proximal fibular tibial joint, the typical width of portion 14 is in the order of 5-10 mm., and its thickness is approximately 3 mm. For other joints, corresponding dimensions are dictated by size of the joint and how much it is to be expanded by the retractor.
In use, a short skin and subcutaneous incision over the anterior surface of the joint is made so as to expose, but not completely open, the joint. A first retractor is placed in the joint with surfaces 16 and 18 paralleling the joint, and a second retractor is placed in the joint with a similar orientation but proximal to the first retractor. The handles 12 of the retractors are rotated so as to move surfaces 16 and 18 substantially perpendicular to the length of the joint space thereby spreading the joint. The retractors remain so oriented by the force of the expandable joint opening when it is being spread. When the retractors are so positioned, access to the joint is obtained whereby cartilage can be harvested from it.
When harvesting of cartilage is completed, the handles of the retractors are rotated so as to move surfaces 16 and 18 in line with the joint, and they are withdrawn. The joint thereby contracts to its normal condition.

The Use of CFD to Simulate Turbulent Flows in Laboratory and Full Scale Flocculation Processes
A.H. Ito[1], O.T. Kaminata [1], S.R. Lautenschlager[1]
[1]State University of Maringá, Maringá, Paraná, Brazil
The hydraulic flocculates are employed in water treatment plants (WTPs), but may present problems during the mixing stage reducing the efficiency of treatment. In this context modeling of a hydraulic flocculate using COMSOL and a 1:10 scale model of the Maringá-PR Brazil city WTP flocculate was done. The WTP flocculate is shown in figure 1 and the model illustrating the acrylic flocculate ...

3D Hydrogeological Modeling - From a Theoretical 2D Model through a Medium Scale Application up to a Challenge: Simulations at Basin Scale
E. Cavalli[1], R. Simonetti[1], M. Gorla[1], N. Ceresa[1]
[1]CAP Holding, Milan, Italy
An alluvial aquifer system has probably conceived as a numerical modeling hell. We have chosen COMSOL Multiphysics® for two reasons: 1) FEM methods allow to use complex geometries; 2) multiphysics simulation permits to run a single model with all phenomena. We built a section with these physics: a) Darcy's law, b) Richards' equation, c) ALE to show surface deformation, d) Hydrogeologcal ...

M. Xynou[1]
[1]KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Corrugated board is produced on a machine where the corrugated medium is glued between two flat paper surfaces, the liners. The board is cut into sheets and stored in a stack until suitable moisture content has been reached. The sheets are then cut and creased into blanks for the production of boxes and other products. If the moisture content is too high, there is a risk for cutting problems in ...
Simulation of Air Flow Through Ventilation Ducts - new
E. Dalsryd[1]
[1]KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
In this report I study the airflow through ventilation ducts. By numerical simulation, the so-called k-factor has been estimated. The k-factor is the quotient of the airflow volume and the square root of the pressure drop over the duct. A two dimensional axial symmetric model has been used to simulate an iris damper connected to a straight pipe. A three dimensional model has been used to ...

I've started hating the word "rehash"...
View Single Post
June 5 2013, 08:59 AM
Location: Schiedam, the Netherlands
I've started hating the word "rehash"...
So Lindelof has suggested Q and the Borg might be used in Trek XIII... I think it would be like 'the coolest idea ever', but I see fans everywhere shouting and screaming things like: 'Why can't we have a new villain instead of REHASHING old ones?!' God, I hate that word, REHASH...
Were people screaming things like that about the Joker when people learned he would be in The Dark Knight..? The way Nolan reimagined the Joker was so brilliant, and I think The Borg, Q, even the Pakleds could be reimagined in a brilliant way... It's not a REHASH...
Rehash suggests that NEW villains are always better... Shinzon anyone..? Ru'afo..? Soran..? Nero..? All NEW villains... Personally, I'd rather see the Borg..!

Book with Five Star Alliance and you'll get a $25 hotel credit at check-in and complimentary breakfast for two daily.
A New Chapter for Trianon Versailles Palace
June 23, 2009
By: Alison Victor
This has been quite a year for the hotel known formerly as the Trianon Palace and Spa, a Westin Hotel. Earlier this year the hotel underwent a re-branding to the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Collection, and with it brought in many luxurious upgrades. In addition to the property being fully renovated and restored, Gordon Ramsay, the celebrated 2-Michelin-starred chef, has opened his first French dining destination, Gordon Ramsay au Trianon. Guests can expect exquisite French dishes in an intimate, stylish setting.
With the Waldorf name also comes the Versailles Guerlain Spa, a 2,800-square-meter sanctuary of beauty, relaxation, and fitness. Here, guests can enjoy custom spa therapies, a stylish cut at the Leonor Greyl hair salon, or a relaxing dip in the heated indoor pool. Lavish and contemporary, this is a step above most spas. With the reemergence of this luxury property, they are also introducing special new rates. Book now, and you can stay in the Classic Guest Room, with breakfast for two, for under 200 Euro a night. A great way to reintroduce a great hotel.
Special Offer from Five Star Alliance: Guests who make their reservations through Five Star Alliance for Trianon Palace will receive a complimentary bottle of Louis XIV preferred wine with a copy of his original hand-written letter.

Just a few things about me now: I'm living in Dublin for 1 year to study environmental engineering, but I'm also focused in studying Irish music. It's difficult to handle both sometimes, but I just must. Here my life is being travelling, attending to gigs, seeking for the perfect beers, having fun nights with friends, while I'm not studying or playing.
I'm really open minded, I love getting to know new cultures, stories, people and try any new, odd and unexpected experiences. I'm not that talkative and extroverted person at first, but after sometime and getting in the mood, I enjoy fun and deep conversations.
When I first heard of CS years ago through some friends, I thought it was incredible, even before any experience, I needed just a few to be sure. The whole idea is something that should be natural and common,
Music, live music always gets my attention, even kinds of music I'm not that into. After a lot of good surprises having great moments attending to bands I didn`t have expectations, I`m up to anything musically.
Where there's music, life happens deeplier.
Arts in general, I appreciate paintings, I love photography, any performing acts or forms of expressions.
Beer: I really like drinking beer, show me a different one and I'll be happy. I can show you some I like.
Hiking: I'm always up to hike anywhere interesting with more people.
Cooking: I'm curious to be able to try new tastes
Irish music! I play in a band of Irish music in Rio de Janeiro.
Classic Rock, Metal, folk metal, blues, jazz, electro swing
Folk music from Brazil, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Eastern Europe in general.
Game of Thrones, Firefly, Braveheart, Pulp Fiction, Gangs of New York, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Into the Wild, Master and Commander, Lord of the Rings, some from Studio Ghibli...
Forming with some friends a band of Irish music in Rio de Janeiro that I'm playing for 5 years now, it's part of my life.
Spontaneously going to an indigenous tribe with a friend and a couchsurfer and spending one night hammocksurfing by an invite of them, also attending their ritual an had a dinner. It was epic!
I think I can teach the tin whistle, maybe the Irish flute.
Cooking! I'm enjoying cooking, I could both teach the little I know or share the kitchen trying to cook any new and bold experiment with anyone also interested.
Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Spain
