Surgical innovations disseminate in the absence of coordinated systems to ensure their safe integration into clinical practice, potentially exposing patients to increased risk for medical error.
To investigate associations of patient safety with the diffusion of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) resulting from the development of the da Vinci robot.
Design, Setting, and Participants
A cohort study of 401 325 patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample who underwent radical prostatectomy during MIRP diffusion between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2009.
Main Outcomes and Measures
We used Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs), which measure processes of care and surgical provider performance. We estimated the prevalence of MIRP among all prostatectomies and compared PSI incidence between MIRP and open radical prostatectomy in each year during the study. We also collected estimates of MIRP incidence attributed to the manufacturer of the da Vinci robot.
Patients who underwent MIRP were more likely to be white (P = .004), have fewer comorbidities (P = .02), and have undergone surgery in higher-income areas (P = .005). The incidence of MIRP was substantially lower than da Vinci manufacturer estimates. Rapid diffusion onset occurred in 2006, when MIRP accounted for 10.4% (95% CI, 10.2-10.7) of all radical prostatectomies in the United States. In 2005, MIRP was associated with an increased adjusted risk for any PSI (adjusted odds ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.7; P = .02) vs open radical prostatectomy. Stratification by hospital status demonstrated similar patterns: rapid diffusion onset among teaching hospitals occurred in 2006 (11.7%; 95% CI, 11.3-12.0), with an increased risk for PSI for MIRP in 2005 (adjusted odds ratio, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.4-5.3; P = .004), and onset among nonteaching hospitals occurred in 2008 (27.1%; 95% CI, 26.6-27.7), with an increased but nonsignificant risk for PSI in 2007 (adjusted odds ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 0.8-5.2; P = .14).
Conclusions and Relevance
During its initial national diffusion, MIRP was associated with diminished perioperative patient safety. To promote safety and protect patients, the processes by which surgical innovations disseminate into clinical practice require refinement.
Estimates are based on a 20% sample of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, with applied weighting with 95% CIs provided for estimate.
The likelihood of any Patient Safety Indicator occurring by year comparing minimally invasive radical prostatectomy with open radical prostatectomy for teaching hospitals (A) and nonteaching hospitals (B). Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) greater than 1.0 indicate a higher probability of any Patient Safety Indicator occurring in association with minimally invasive radical prostatectomy. The model includes the following variables: year by surgery interaction term, age, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, number of eligible Patient Safety Indicators, and year. The tipping point denotes the first year during which the prevalence of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy prevalence equaled or exceeded 10%.

Re: Travis Barker
For me to Sum this up on a Positive note:
I've been reading & posting myself back & forth views on Travis Barker because of this thread...it's a valid subject, because of the level of noterioty & drumming ability, we all can learn from the comments & about other drummers views & complete differances of oppinions...thanks to Travis's success.
I think the main thing to learn from this thread, is we're all at differant levels of ability & success, depending on your own personal expectations, you may have already accomlished your goals, even if it will always be just a hobby for you & a love for the instrument...
there is a whole other world out there to deal with and that goal is fine & maybe realistic for you...should I critisize you...no, your problably smarter than me...LOL..but your also lucky enough not to be in the public eye were the whole world can all critisize & pick you to peices in forums like this & other media resources
But realize this for maybe your own future, because you may soon be in the limelight & will you be able to deal with this type of critisism ....the lesson to be learned from this forum is..
This may be the toughest part of the music industry, & the differance between you grabbing that ring or stepping down & settling for a more reasonable goal, critism can destroy a persons confidence, incentive & ambition
We can all thank & honor Travis Barker no matter what we think of his drumming for his strength, endurance and professionalism for over coming all the obsticles it takes to get where he is today...and maybe because of this forum someone out there will realize & be more aware of these obstacles that are just as important as talent & ability to be successful in the music business..as did Travis Barker...
Good Luck All...& sorry about the essay...
Peace! Lee

Hi, I'm Jason Phipps for About.com, and today I'm preparing Cuban shrimp soup , or sopa de camarones.
Cuban Shrimp Soup Ingredients
This recipe takes about an hour and a half to prepare. You'll need:
- 1 pound of shrimp (de-veined and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 cup onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (finely chopped)
- 3 large tomatoes (peeled, seeded and finely chopped)
- 1 cup water (or fish stock)
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 4 medium boiling potatoes (peeled, cut into chunks)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ears of corn (cut crosswise into thirds)
Prepare and Mix Soup Ingredients
Peel the tomatoes, and finely chop them, along with the onion and garlic. Peel and coarsely chop the potatoes. In a saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until soft. Stir in the tomatoes, water or fish stock, cloves, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring the mix to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Puree Ingredients and Add Potatoes
Set a large sieve or food mill over a 4 quart casserole dish. Pour the contents of the saucepan into the sieve and press down, forcing the food through the strainer to make a puree. Discard the contents of the sieve and return the puree to the saucepan. Add the potatoes and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Add Shrimp and Serve Cuban Shrimp Soup
Stir in the milk and cream, add the corn, cover again and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover and simmer another 5 minutes, until shrimp just turns pink. Serve the soup at once. This creamy soup is an excellent appetizer that goes well with any seafood dish. Or, serve it as a main course. This recipe serves 4 to 6.

Full detailed profile on Jared Banks Played by John Brotherton on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
John Brotherton
Birthday: August 21, 1980
Outside, John tells Charlie to advise Jared to cooperate, while Natalie stares through the window at Jared, wishing there was something she could do for him. John barges back into the room, just as Jared's lawyer promises confidentially, in regards to his confession, then John announces that he'll be holding Jared at the jail. Natalie gives Jared a kiss goodbye then he's taken away - and John asks if she's starting to doubt him! However, Natalie vows to stand by her man!
Viki and Charlie watch from the window, as John interrogates Jared at the station, who denies being involved with Landers. Though John wants to believe Jared, he warns for him to tell the truth! As Jared claims someone's framing him, and suggests that John may just be out to get him, Charlie wonders to Viki if Jared is innocent. "You were in love with my wife," Jared tells John. "Maybe you still are." John admits he'll always care about Natalie, and says he's trying to discount him as a suspect, but Jared refuses to talk - until his wife gets there with a lawyer! Suddenly, John gets a call then reports to Jared that he now knows he and Landers were pen pals - and Jared wrote him about everything that's happened since he's been released from prison!
John walks out of the interrogation room, explaining to Charlie that they can't release his son - but that he can go in and talk to him. As Charlie heads into the interrogation room, Viki pleads Jared's innocence to John. Inside, Charlie begs Jared to open up to him, promising to help him find a way to work it out, but just as Jared's about to say something, Natalie enters the room and takes Jared in her arms. "Natalie," Jared whispers, "I've been lying to you."
Outside of Llanfair, Jared's cell phone rings in response to John hitting a key on the dead stalker's phone then John asks, "You gonna answer that?" Jared insists this isn't how it looks, as Natalie defends Jared. John wants to rule Jared out as a suspect and says, "All he has to do is tell us why he was in contact with a dead man." Jared still denies being involved with Wayne Landers, saying, "I've never spoken to the guy," but John finds a text on Landers' phone reading, 'Meet me on the terrace' then asks, "Was he dead when you got here or did you kill him?" As the body is taken away, Jared and Natalie admit Jared picked up the murder weapon after they found the body. Jessica suggests getting Jared a lawyer, but Natalie opens Llanfair up to John, guaranteeing he won't find anything incriminating against Jared!
While everyone is looking around, Jared admits to Natalie that there are things he has to tell her but promises he didn't kill Landers. Fish arrives, and John hands him Jared's computer. Though Jared snaps about John not having a warrant, John suggests that Jared oversee Fish as he reviews his files. Fish does some searching on Jared's laptop - and finds that Jared moved a ton of cash into Wayne Landers' account! Jared claims he's being framed, but John is forced to arrest him and take him to the station. As Jared professes his love to Natalie, she rushes to him, takes Jared in a kiss and promises they'll find a way to get him out of this!
Natalie walks out onto the patio at Llanfair and sees Jared next to a bloodied body, to which Jared announces that he's the man from John's photo - and he's dead! Jared claims he found the man like this, picks up a piece of a statue then tosses it back down. Natalie screams at Jared for picking up the possible murder weapon, says that she believes he didn't kill the man but warns that John will think differently - especially with Jared's prints now on the murder weapon! Jared wonders if they need to call the police, causing Natalie to ask, "Are you suggesting we just get rid of the body?" Jared doesn't want to get rid of the body but thinks they should lie about how they found it - because John is already trying to pin this stalker mess on him as it is. Natalie makes a call, but not to John…
Brody and Jessica arrive at Llanfair, and though Natalie tries to stop Brody from going outside, she can't - and they all head out and see the dead body. As Bo arrives, Brody calls John and tells him to get over there now! Bo questions Jared, who claims he found the man dead, then John appears and announces that the man's name is Wayne Landers - someone who was in prison with Jared! Jared claims he doesn't know the man, but when John pulls out the dead man's cell phone, and hits a key, everyone is shocked to hear Jared's phone ring!
In the living room, though Jared denies to Natalie that he's never seen the stalker, Natalie warns that John won't stop snooping until he gets the truth. Jared wonders if Natalie believes him. When Jessica interrupts, she gets a call from Brody, asking her to come to the station - without letting Natalie and Jared know. Jessica makes an excuse to head off for some alone time with Brody, but once she's gone, Natalie tells Jared, "My sister, she just lied to me." Jared brushes it off and again asks if Natalie believes him. "Of course I believe you," Natalie says, but Jared gets a call and screams, "I'm going to have to call you back! I said later!" Natalie demands to know who was on the phone, but Jared claims it was someone he's been having trouble with at the office. Jared convinces Natalie to go get ready for a date then looks at his phone.
Later, Natalie looks for Jared but finds the living room empty, and when she heads out to the patio, she's shocked to find Jared standing over a bloody man lying on the ground!
From the patio at Llanfair, the stalker talks to Jared, on the phone, and assures him 'he's on it' then watches as Brody heads out of the room. Suddenly, inside, Natalie gets a call from John who warns that he's on his way over.

Sexy Seargent John meets Buster in a bang of an encounter. As soon as the camera starts rolling, these two start grabbing at each other's cocks. They happily stroke each other while staring at the porn playing across the room. When Buster sees what John is packing at full salute, he can't help but lean over and get a mouthful--like he's gobbling down an MRE. John is happy to return the favor and pretty soon the boys are going at it 69. When John's had enough cock sucking, he flips our civilian on his back for a good missionary fuck. Buster shows his inexperience by whincing and cringing as the marine's massive cock slides in for the first time. After he's gotten used to that big cock sliding in his hole, Buster takes the opportunity to go for a ride cowboy style. He slides up and down, still whincing and moaning at the pain. John helps out by grabbing Buster's hips--coaching the movement on his cock to get the deepest penetration. Buster can't help it, he blows his load all over John's

Today, London's Guardian featured an Op-Ed by former Israeli Avi Shlaim – the post-Zionist new historian and Oxford don. Shlaim, surprisingly, insists on propping up his own credentials by writing, "I write as someone who served loyally in the Israeli army in the mid-1960s and who has never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel within its pre-1967 borders . . . "
How that would somehow strengthen what follows it remains a mystery. After all, ideas, as well as historical interpretations, stand on their merits, not on the identity or resume of whoever is advocating them at a given time. This holds true especially with Shlaim, because much of his self-characterization amounts to a lie. He may have served loyally in the mid-1960's, but he has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of Israel, called it an "Ashkenazi trick," supported the one-state solution and gone so far as to argue that "Zionism today is the greatest enemy of the Jews." Should you not be a bit more honest, Mr. Shlaim?

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Former North Carolina congressman and state Republican Party chief Bill Cobey is the new chairman of the State Board of Education.
Cobey was elected by fellow board members Wednesday – the same day he and five other appointees to the board by Gov. Pat McCrory were confirmed by the General Assembly in a joint legislative session.
Cobey served one term in Congress in the mid-1980s and was state health and environment secretary under then-Gov. Jim Martin. He was later state GOP chairman for four years and ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2004.
The board also elected Kernersville attorney Buddy Collins as its vice chairman.

Mainstage 2 Logic 9
As many of you know some guitarists and keyboardists use it for setting up different mixes and patches for live use. To quickly change "complete" riggs of "sound templates" in between songs instead of pushing a 100 buttons or stompboxes they just klick one key to switch to next setup and patch.
My Question is have anyone tried that for drums? i mean if i use a Preasonus Firetube and my macbook pro running mainstage i get very little latency.
I could easily wire the patches like the channel strips if i where to record. Apply compression reverb, envelopers etc etc etc.
Just run all the mic's into my Firetube and have logic run the signalpath thru the channel strips and have the main stereo mix run out of the Firetube and off to main PA or the individual stripp out to FOH (Front of House).
I havent had the time to play around with this idea yet. Anyone got any thoughts on it?
I Use:Yamaha Drums - Luwdig Drums - Meinl, Paiste, Zildjian Cymbals And Evans Drumhead's

Home / Academic Planning / Pre-Business /
I have AP, A-level or IB credits for Calculus. Have I met the pre-req? Should I take more math?
You have met the requirement for admission to the Ross School. You could take another quantitative course (Statistics, Physics, Math, Computer Science or any course designated as QR/2) to demonstrate your quantitative skill. It doesn't have to be the next Calculus class. It's not necessary to do this in your first term, and is not a specific requirement of the BBA admissions process.
I have A-level or IB credits for Economics. Have I met the requirement?
You have met the requirement for admission.
Note: AP credits for ECON 101X. You have not met the requirement; you must take ECON 101.
What courses look good to the Ross School?
The Ross School likes to see students who fully challenge themselves (14-16 credits per term of solid academic classes). What looks good is performance. They will look at the grades you achieved in the pre-requisites, and they will look to see that you challenged yourself by taking a good balance of courses. They will look at your GPA. But all these things contribute to the total package you present in your application.
I know that the B school looks at extra-curricular activities. What things should I do?
The Ross school is interested in students who can balance their dedication to scholarship with their passion, or need, to do things that interest them. Do you have to work to support yourself? If you do, you should demonstrate that you can still do well carrying a full course load. Are you committed to a service group, and to developing and promoting that group? Again, you should balance your passion for that group with good academic performance in a solid academic program. The same applies to athletics or special interests. The key is to balance commitments: your commitment to academic scholarship is as important as your commitment to the service/support/participation portions of your life.
Should I start a foreign language, since the Ross School doesn't require it?
You should work on both your LSA and Ross requirements simultaneously. You may change your mind about applying to the Ross program, or you may not end up attending. Be prepared for all eventualities.
What counts most on the application for admission?
Admissions considers all parts of the application. The essays are crucial, as they provide the only chance for Admissions personnel to get to know you (since you won't be interviewed, and letters of recommendation are not permitted). So it's important that you think long and hard about what you want to say, and how you want to say it. Draft each essay more than once. Be clear in your reasons for wanting to get a BBA ("it will get me a great job" or "I just want to learn more about business" are not welcome reasons). Have good anecdotal material to describe your leadership and team skills. Finally, have your essays read by someone who will give you good critiques.
It's impossible to overemphasize the importance of the essays in giving the Ross School Admissions Committee a good picture of who you are, and why you are seeking admission. Do your homework: learn about Ross programs, activities and faculty. Attend information sessions, and visit pre-business peer advisors in Ross. Read the Ross web site before you make an appointment, you don't want to be asking questions that have already been answered elsewhere.
When can I apply?
Applications are accepted by March 31, for the following fall. You need to have earned 27 transferable credits in the fall and winter terms of the year you apply. Most people apply in the second semester of their freshman year, but you can apply in a subsequent year. However, be prepared to spend another three years at Michigan; the Ross Schoolwill cap your transfer credits at 45, and their requirement of 45 hours of business credit requires an additional three years of study. Check the BBA website (http://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/BBA for more information.
Can I become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a BBA degree?
It's unlikely. Most states in the United States have now adopted new rules for the education of CPAs, and require 150 credit hours before you can sit for the CPA exam. If you want to become a CPA, you can apply for the Masters in Accounting program (MAcc). Visit the Accounting Department's website for more information on this increasingly popular program (http://www.bus.umich.edu/Academics/Departments/Accounting/).
If I really want to get an MBA, do I need a BBA first?
No. MBA programs admit a wide variety of people with all different types of degrees, majors and experience.
Can I do a joint degree program with LSA and the Business School?
Yes. After you are admitted to the Business School, and assuming you have a 3.0 cumulative GPA, you can apply for a Joint Degree Program. You must fill out an application and get it signed by representatives from both programs. In LSA you must get the signature of a Standards Board Member. To successfully complete the joint degree, you must complete 150 credits, 100 of which must come from LSA. You must satisfy the degree requirements for both programs, and you must finish both programs at the same time.
Can I get an LSA minor if I'm in the Business School?
Yes. You must declare the minor through a department advisor in LSA, who will help you map out the program. The Business School will record the minor on your transcript.

Lynnwood man hospitalized after stabbing
LYNNWOOD -- Detectives are investigating a stabbing reported Wednesday night in the Lynnwood area. A Lynnwood man, 45, was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. Police were called to a home in the 3800 block of 156th Street SW about 8:30 p.m., she said. There were multiple 911 calls from the area, including from a neighbor who reported hearing three men fighting. The victim was conscious when police arrived. The severity of his injuries wasn't immediately clear. The Major Crimes Unit was on scene until about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Ireton said. No arrests had been made as of mid-morning.

All eyes are on the University of Virginia following the turmoil this summer over her attempted ouster, President Teresa Sullivan said Tuesday.
The added scrutiny will give the university founded by Thomas Jefferson the chance to shine, Sullivan told reporters at Carrs Hill, her home on the university grounds, in her first press conference since the campus was thrown into chaos for two weeks in June over the attempted coup.
"A lot of people are paying attention to U.Va. now because of what happened here this past summer," Sullivan said. "This means that we have the opportunity to model for the rest of the country, not just how a university survives, but how it can even thrive facing the challenges that I just mentioned. Our progress over the next few years will be a bellwether for all of public higher education in America, and it's a mistake not to think that everyone's watching."
U.Va. officials announced June 10 that Sullivan would step down in August, surprising the university community and triggering an outcry over the lack of explanation about her forced resignation. The announcement led to two weeks of protests, resignations and reneged donations until officials reinstated Sullivan on June 26.

Anyone who has spent any length of time with Miss E knows that she is capable of spotting a beetle/grasshopper/ladybug/lizard in the most unlikely places. I don't how she does it. While I'm in the middle of employing pre-meltdown strategies during our frequent bug-finding missions ("don't get upset if we don't see one", "maybe another garden would be better", "another day perhaps") a sudden cry of "I told you!" will cut through my anxiety management and there it will be. A perfect specimen in the palm of her hand. And breathe…
My Little World is a children's book recently published by our new friend Julia. It's all about the small things in nature that children easily see and most adults miss (guilty as charged!).
Take some time to read her guest post (our first – how 'citing!) and relive your childhood with your children:
Tiny Beauty
By guest blogger, Julia Cooke, author of My Little World a picture book for children. I'm on tour in the blogosphere – see here for tour dates and places!
Incredible colours, shapes, textures and patterns can be found on small scales in nature: shaggy orange and black stripes on a bee, the sparkling leaves of carnivorous sundew plants, intricate patterns on a wing, a very delicate forest of moss, duck orchids, a bubble monster in the surf, the patterns on a grasshopper's eye, and intensely green umbrella moss.
Vivid imaginations have created wonderful strange lands and mystical creatures for many stories. But there are mysterious landscapes (large and small) and extraordinary, complex creatures (many of the smaller ones still undescribed by science), right here in the real world. Nature is an unrivalled source of inspiration for design, engineering, medicine, visual art, biological sciences, literature, and more – especially when you look closely.
There are many amazing and beautiful little things that many people just walk past every day and don't notice. But some people do notice them, and they are often children, who have a particular knack for spotting things down low or up close. Children may not be as good as adults at seeing the bigger picture sometimes, but they are very often better at seeing the smaller pictures!
My Little World is about seeing the smaller picture and noticing the tiny, beautiful things in nature.

The time has come, Miss E has begun school. What better way to make sure her library books travel in style than with her own personalised tote bag? The finished product included a 'flourish' of purple and silver glitter paint, guaranteed always to get noticed and never to get lost.
You will need: Plain cotton bag and fabric paint, available at Lincraft.
Steady hand and occasional instructions supplied by mum.

It's been a while since this little bird posted. There has been some major (read: wonderful) happenings in the little bird nest recently, which has caused a bit of a slump in posts. However, I'm happy to say – I'm back! And I have a rather large back-log to get through…
Starting with a trip to the Mirazozo Luminarium in January.
Miss E and I hope you had the chance to experience this amazing installation which took over the Opera House forecourt during the month of January. The luminarium is a large scale, inflatable sculpture constructed of translucent vinyl and made up of labyrinthine tunnels and inspiring spacious domes. It was one of 15 that is touring the world in over 37 countries.
The brief: Walk slowly, stick to the paths and lie back to absorb the ambience.
The verdict: Take me to your leader!

It was last month that myself, Aunty S (aka Miss E's 'Canberra girl') and Miss E jetted over to Bali for her first overseas adventure.
Following are the highlights of our trip according to Miss E:
1. The lizards (the geckos)
2. The elephants
3. The lizards
4. WaterBom (especially the "Macarooney" ride)
5. The baby lizard
6. The pool in our villa
7. The lizards
8. The cat with a square tail who was allowed in and out of the restaurant
9. The lizards
10. The baby lizard
Each night we arrived home to our Alu Bali villa, the staff would greet Miss E: "Hello E! Look, lizards!" Cue conversation. "Who is the daddy, who is the mummy?" and "Oh look! A baby gecko".
That's what I love about kids. While we chase satisfaction from the coolest, the tastiest, the most luxurious and so on, they find beauty in the simplest of things. Bless them!
Oh, and here's all the other stuff we loved (in between lizard sightings):
Bling is her thing
Posted November 18, 2010on:
It's been a while since I've posted. I know. It's been hard getting back into the swing of things after an amazing trip to Bali a couple of weeks ago, and with all the packing and hoopla of getting away, there was no time before-hand! But now that we're back I'll be posting news from our trip shortly…
In the meantime, I hope you like the little fashion shoot Miss E and I have put together of her most favourite necklaces. Of particular note is the "diamond" pendant, a "gift" from my father who was feeling a bit soft after watching her Saturday morning ballet lesson. When she asked if she could have it (together with a few mock tears and a quivering bottom lip) he said yes. Now why didn't I try that on him when I was little?

Ugg boots
Ugg boots are known in Australia and New Zealand as a unisex style of sheepskin boot. It is typically made of twin-faced sheepskin with fleece on the inside, a tanned outer surface and a synthetic sole. Ugg boots originated from Australia, initially as utilitarian footwear worn for warmth. They were often worn by surfers during the 1960s. In the 1970s, the boots were introduced to the surf culture of the United Kingdom and the United States by local surfers returnin...... more on Wikipedia

Alien VS. Predator (12 Edition)by Michael Robbins
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
A second collection from a poet of sheer joy and dizzy command" (The New York Times)
Upon its publication in 2012, Alien vs. Predator, the debut collection by Michael Robbins, became one of the hottest and most celebrated works of poetry in the country, winning acclaim for its startling freshness and originality, and leading critics to say that it was the most likely book in years to open up poetry to a new readership.
Robbinss poems are strange, wonderful, wild, and irrationally exuberant, mashing up high and low culture with a sky-blue originality of utterance" (The New York Times). The thirty-six new poems in The Second Sex carry over the music, attitude, hilarity, and vulgarity of Alien vs. Predator, while also working deeper autobiographical and political veins.
"The poems in this debut are formally exact: etched into scrupulous quatrains and quintets, prosodically meticulous, exasperatingly well-rhymed ('Rorschach blots,' for example, is coupled with 'Arnold Horshack thoughts'). Yet what makes this collection distinct is a convulsive, almost frenzied use of cultural reference, with vamps on Adorno, Rilke, Berryman, and Wittgenstein, among others. More often, the poems cite pop songs, film dialogue ('Dude, this aggression will not stand' from The Big Lebowski), and American folk culture ('My name is Michael, I'm an alcoholic./Hi, Michael. Row your boat ashore'). Yet this is more than simple allusion. Robbins's ear is tuned to the caffeinated jabber of digital culture, with its endlessly clickable, synaptic links; the flotsam of poems, megastore names, and childhood rhymes get battered about, and the original language re-emerges transformed. Santa urging his reindeer becomes a call to heavy metal bands: 'On Sabbath, on Slayer, on Maiden and Venom!' Robert Frost is unceremoniously pantsed: 'I give my skinny prick / a shake, to ask if there is some mistake.' In a clever moment perhaps serving as Robbins's ars poetica, Auden gets inverted: 'Nothing makes poetry happen.'" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
The debut collection of a poet whose savage, hilarious work has already received extraordinary notice.
Since his poems first began to appear in the pages of The New Yorker and Poetry, there has been a lot of excited talk about the fresh and inventive work of Michael Robbins. Equal parts hip- hop, John Berryman, and capitalism seeking death and not finding it, Robbins's poems are strange, wonderful, wild, and completely unlike anything else being written today. As allusive as the Cantos, as aggressive as a circular saw, this debut collection will offend none but the virtuous, and is certain to receive an enormous amount of attention.
About the Author
Michael Robbins was born in Topeka, Kansas. His poems and criticism have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, Harpers, The London Review of Books, The Village Voice, and several other journals. He received his PhD in English from the University of Chicago.

City Square Off
Reviewed for Third Grade, 2011
It's hip to be square! This deceivingly simple strategy game stirs up some friendly city rivalry as opponents try their hand at city planning. Each player begins with a grid and a pile of shape tiles. Players draw cards from a deck and use the corresponding shape tiles to build around their city. The aim is to fit the shape tiles onto the board while staying on the grid. Each round takes just 15 minutes, but don't be surprised if this spatial thinking game keeps your kids captivated for hours. It's a touch of Tetris, a bit of Blokus – and a whole lot of fun! (Gamewright, $16.22)

INEZ , Ky. — Two former employees of the Martin County Clerk's office have accepted plea deals from the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
The pleas were announced last Thursday in Martin County Circuit Court and sentencing is scheduled on Thursday, September 5 before Circuit Judge John David Preston.
Former deputy clerk Tonya Mills, 47, and former office supervisor Tammy Hairston, 42, were each indicted a year ago for abuse of a public trust (over $10,000), a Class C felony with a penalty of 5 to 10 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000.
The two women were allowed to plead to amended charges to a Class D felony with a prison sentence of 5 years. In addition, neither are allowed to hold public office due to the abuse of a public trust charge.
Each will be eligible for parole after serving nine months. In addition, restitution must be made by the county clerk's office into the public accounts.
Mills is accused of taking $16,576 by failing to make required deposits of public money and retaining it for her own personal use. This occurred between Jan. 9, 2012 and July 14, 2012, according to court records.
Hairston is accused of writing checks to two individuals. Three were allegedly written to Kathy Preece in the amounts of $350 (Oct. 15, 2011), $420 (Oct. 28) and $320 (Nov. 11, 2011) and Tim Smith in amount of $175 (Oct. 28, 2011), all with the intent to defraud.
After a state audit, the thefts were discovered. That audit was conducted last summer at the office of County Clerk Carol Sue Mills.
In mid-August 2012 shortly after the money was discovered missing, Mills held a press conference to address the issue. Sobbing quietly and choking back tears, she confirmed that money was missing and that two employees had been fired.
Pressed about the identities of the two employees, she confirmed that the two employees were her own daughters.
Carol Sue Mills was not accused of any wrongdoing, although her office will be required to make restitution.
Kentucky State Police Detective Jason Dials was the lead investigator in the case.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a group of designers took inspiration from classic Disney films. We spotted several looks that seemed to be channeling cartoon muses and famous fairy tales on the fall runways. The Wicked Queen from Snow White walked at Giambattista Valli, the Mad Hatter's impressive chapeau showed up at Vivienne Westwood, and Minnie Mouse made the rounds at Comme des Garcons.
With the spirit of these illustrated icons in mind, we pulled together a modern-day Alice in Wonderland ensemble that would be perfect for a very important date-tea at the Chateau, naturally! Instead of the girly black bow Alice wears in the 1951 animated film, we like this black silk, pleated headband from 3.1 Phillip Lim with Swarovski crystal embellishment ($275, shopjake.com). The keyhole on the bridge of these Moschino sunglasses is a nod to the Queen of Hearts and her card army ($220, moschino.com). Also from Lim is this beautiful blue, hand smocked, bib front dress. The dress has a row of little buttons in the back and pockets too ($780, brownsfashion.com). Pull everything together with black patent leather, Mary Janes-Miu Miu, Christian Louboutin, or Manolo-and you've got a look that will cause Cheshire Cat smiles.

I forgot to mention this, but I got the idea from this guy: Eric Testroete, who apparently got it from someone else but I saw his so I'm gonna stay with that :P
Someone pointed out that there was already an instructable for this so I'll link him on here as well: Real Life Big Head Mode
Step 1: Ingredients
Items needed:
3D program - modeling and able to export OBJ file
Pepakura - to change the OBJ file into cuttable paper images
100 lb cardstock - needs thick paper so that it'll hold the shape
Sharp scissors and Xacto Knife - for cutting paper... be careful
Super Glue/Hot Glue Gun/Double stick tape - to put all the pieces together
Optional items:
Resin or Casting Plastic - to harden the helmet
Foam Padding
Step 2: Modeling
Ok so first things first. You will have to learn how to use the 3D program to model and texture your face. I'm sorry but you will have to learn this on your own since this step could be an instructable on it's own.
Here's a good video on how to model the face using Autodesk Maya:
After you finish the model, export it out to OBJ file so that Pepakura can use the file.
Halo 1 helmet and X-wing helmet later, I wish I knew that then.
which inspired me to make it... I'm gonna go do that now...
That should keep for years. I could be wrong but heck give it a try. Also you could print out on regular paper and glue onto cardstock. BUT copy centers are very reasonable so one must consider them, versus your cost.
great instructable

U.S._ Sen. Gillibrand and Rep. Hanna are trying to get Greek yogurt into schools, saying it is packed with healthy protein.
They are calling on the USDA to reclassify Greek yogurt as a source of protein under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPlate nutrition standards.
New York produces about 70-percent of the nation's $6 billion dollar Greek yogurt market. Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt.

In this course, author Nigel French shows how to use textures to create visual interest, heighten realism, and add dimension to Photoshop artwork. The course demonstrates how to apply multiple filters and paint in effects with layer masks, combine textures with images using layer blending modes, use brushes to paint in and accentuate texture, and create brush presets by sampling textures from photographs. The course also shows how to automate the application of textures with actions.
The Craquelure Filter simulates the cracking of paint that we see on old paintings like this detail of the Mona Lisa here and we are going to apply it to this image which is an image from the Thinkstock Photo Library. Here I've applied the Craquelure Filter in differing amounts to the highlights, the mid tones and to the shadows and this, I think, is how to get the most from this filter, because if we just apply the same amount of the filter to the whole image, the cracking that it simulates is just going to look far too uniform.
Here is our starting point and our first task is to separate out the image into its Shadows, its Highlights and its Midtones. To do this, I am going to use the Color Range tool. From the Select dropdown, I am going to choose first of all Highlights, click OK, that's going to give me a selection of my highlights. Command+J or Ctrl+J will copy the highlights to a separate layer.
Come back to my Background layer, back to Color Range. This time, I'll choose Midtones, Command+J or Ctrl+J, back to the Background layer, Color Range and this time, Shadows. Okay! So now we've got those three different tonal regions and it's not got absolutely everything, but that's okay, because we would leave the Background layer on behind these three layers.
So now one by one, I am going to convert these layers for smart filters and you can see that I've added a keyboard shortcut for that and that's what I am going to use for the other two. Now I'm going to go to the Filter menu and down to Texture and choose the Craquelure filter. Now in the shadow areas, I want the Crack Spacing to be relatively low so that we actually see more cracks and I want the cracks to be deep in the shadows.
So those are the values I am going to use for the Shadows; 15, 7 and 5. Now I'll come to the Midtones where I am going to hold down my Option or Alt key as I choose Craquelure from the Filter menu. And here I want the Spacing to be a lot bigger, so that we see fewer cracks and the Crack Depth to be not quite so deep. For the Highlights, hold down the Option or Alt key; choose it from the Filter menu and Crack Spacing, a bit bigger still, not as deep as in the Midtones nor as in the Shadows.
Now to refine this and the fact that we have applied these different amounts as Smart Filters to different layers, means that we can go back and adjust the amount and I think on reflection, that's a little bit too much in the Shadows. Now what we can do is working on each of the Filter Masks that come with the Smart Filters, we can paint away some of the uniformity that we are going to get.
So I'll start with the Shadows, choose a nice big paintbrush and I've got a Brush Opacity of 50 and I am just going to tab over some of those regions just to remove or reduce the amount of cracking that we are seeing. I am going to repeat that in the Midtone region. Varying my brush size a bit, possibly varying my Opacity, press 3 to go down to 30% and then repeat the same thing again in the Highlight region.
So what we should now have is a far less uniform result than we would have got from just running the Craquelure filter on one image layer. So the point I'd like you to take away from this movie is not just about the specifics of applying the Craquelure Filter in a convincing way, but more than that this approach of applying varying amounts of a filter to different tonal regions of your image, so that you get a much more customized, more effective result and we see here that's exactly what I've done, I've broken the image out into Shadows, Highlights and Midtones and applied differing amounts of a filter to those different tonal regions.
