Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a procedure that combines upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy and x rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts. ERCP is also used to diagnose problems, but the availability of non-invasive tests such as magnetic resonance cholangiography has allowed ERCP to be used primarily for cases in which it is expected that treatment will be delivered during the procedure; see "How is ERCP performed?"
Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure that uses a lighted, flexible endoscope to see and perform procedures inside the upper GI tract. The upper GI tract includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum—the first part of the small intestine.
The bile ducts carry bile from the liver to the duodenum. The pancreatic ducts carry pancreatic juice from the pancreas to the duodenum.
Ducts are tubelike structures in the body that carry fluids. The bile ducts carry bile, a liquid the liver makes to help break down food. A group of small bile ducts—called the biliary tree—in the liver empties bile into the larger common bile duct. Between meals, the common bile duct closes and bile collects in the gallbladder—a pear-shaped sac next to the liver.
The pancreatic ducts carry pancreatic juice, a liquid the pancreas makes to help break down food. A group of small pancreatic ducts in the pancreas empties into the main pancreatic duct.
The common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct join before emptying their contents into the duodenum through the papillary orifice at the end of the duodenal papilla—a small, nipplelike structure that extends into the duodenum.

ERCP is used when it is suspected a person's bile or pancreatic ducts may be narrowed or blocked due to
The health care provider usually provides written instructions about how to prepare for ERCP.
The upper GI tract must be empty. Generally, no eating or drinking is allowed 8 hours before ERCP. Smoking and chewing gum are also prohibited during this time.
Patients should tell their health care provider about all health conditions they have, especially heart and lung problems, diabetes, and allergies. Patients should also tell their health care provider about all medications they take. Patients may be asked to temporarily stop taking medications that affect blood clotting or interact with sedatives, which are usually given during ERCP to help patients relax and stay comfortable.
Medications and vitamins that may be restricted before and after ERCP include
Driving is not permitted for 12 to 24 hours after ERCP to allow the sedatives time to completely wear off. Before the appointment, patients should make plans for a ride home.
ERCP is conducted at a hospital or outpatient center by a doctor and assistants who have specialized training in this procedure. Patients receive a local anesthetic that is gargled or sprayed on the back of the throat. The anesthetic numbs the throat and calms the gag reflex.
An intravenous needle is inserted into a vein in the arm if sedatives will be given. Doctors and other medical staff monitor vital signs while patients are sedated.
During ERCP, patients lie on their back or side on an x-ray table. The doctor inserts an endoscope down the esophagus, through the stomach, and into the duodenum. Video is transmitted from a small camera attached to the endoscope to a computer screen within the doctor's view. Air is pumped through the endoscope to inflate the stomach and duodenum, making them easier for the doctor to examine.
When the doctor locates the duodenal papilla, a blunt tube called a catheter is slid through the endoscope and guided through the papillary opening. Once the catheter is inside the papilla, the doctor injects a dye into the ducts. The dye, also called contrast medium, allows the ducts to be seen on x rays. X rays are then taken to see the ducts and to look for narrowed areas or blockages.
Procedures to treat narrowed areas or blockages can be performed during ERCP. To see the ducts during treatment procedures, the doctor uses x-ray video, also called fluoroscopy. Special tools guided through the endoscope and into the ducts allow the doctor to open blocked ducts, break up or remove gallstones, remove tumors in the ducts, or insert stents. Stents are plastic or expandable metal tubes that are left in narrowed ducts to restore the flow of bile or pancreatic juice. A kind of biopsy called brush cytology allows the doctor to remove cells from inside the ducts using a brush that fits through the endoscope. The collected cells are later examined with a microscope for signs of infection or cancer.
Occasionally, ERCP is done after gallbladder surgery, if a surgical bile leak is suspected, to find and stop the leak with a temporary stent.
After ERCP, patients are moved to a recovery room where they wait for about an hour for the sedatives to wear off. Patients may not remember conversations with health care staff, as the sedatives reduce memory of events during and after the procedure. During this time, patients may feel bloated or nauseous. Patients may also have a sore throat, which can last a day or two.
Patients can go home after the sedatives wear off. Patients will likely feel tired and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
Some ERCP results are available immediately after the procedure. Biopsy results are usually ready in a few days.
Unless otherwise directed, patients may immediately resume their normal diet and medications after having an ERCP. The health care provider can answer any specific questions about eating, diet, and nutrition.
Significant risks associated with ERCP include
When ERCP is performed by an experienced doctor, complications occur in about 6 to 10 percent of patients and these often require hospitalization.1 Patients who experience any of the following symptoms after ERCP should contact their health care provider immediately:

BUFFALO, NY - An appellate court has upheld the conviction of a Town of Tonawanda man found guilty of killing his mother in 2009.
David Heck, 58, was found guilty of murdering his mother Ruth in their Conant Drive home.
Heck tried to get the conviction overturned, claiming that the evidence was insufficient and that police violated his rights.
The appellate panel rejected Heck's argument stating that after Heck beat his mother in the head with a hammer, he "staged the crime scene to make it appear that his mother had fallen and hit her head."

The Tipped Pass Issue
Tipped passes are a sore subject in New York today, but Capital New York writes Mark Sanchez is one of the league's worst perpetrators when it comes to tips.
During his post-game press conference, Rex Ryan gamely chalked the tips up to bad luck, saying, "I think his day, minus those tips, obviously it looks a lot better."
But the fact is that Sanchez has consistently had this problem. According to Pro Football Focus stats, Sanchez was tied for second-most in the NFL with five tipped passes going into yesterday, which means he now has nine. Last year, he was first, with 15. In 2010, he was third, also with 15.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comYikes. Yeah it's one of those things that we all thought we know about Sanchez, but at least it's not just our anecdotal bias. Sanchez is likely going to continue struggle with this over the course of his career given his size, but the Jets do need to figure out ways to prevent it as much as possible. Clearly they're not there yet with this new offense.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports editor
As it has been through their last three games, it was another tale of two halves for the Carbon Dinos football team as the Juab Wasps pulled away in the second half to defeat the Dinos 31-21 on Friday night.
Carbon's players, very aware of the game's importance towards a possible playoff berth, came out strong on offense with a potent attack both on the ground and through the air.
That enthusiasm, sparked from the large crowd on homecoming night, helped propel Carbon in the first half.
On their first possession of the game, running back Daulton Nelson broke away from a pack of Wasp defenders on his way to a long touchdown run. The touchdown, however, was nullified due to a holding penalty. After pinning the Wasps deep in their own 10 yard line, the defensive line of the Dinos led by senior lineman Matt Cox pressured Juab quarterback Spencer McPhearson which resulted in a safety for Carbon and an early 2-0 lead.
The Dinos got the ball back and again wasted no time driving down the field. Quarterback Dakota Cisneros connected with Tanner Gagnon on a 45-yard touchdown pass which extended the lead to 9-0 just four minutes into the game.
Juab began to make their presence felt as they scored 13 unanswered points, on a 45-yard touchdown catch by Curtis Orme from McPhearson and a 12-yard half back pass from Kaden Nelson to Kyler Ockey to go up 13-9.
With two minutes left before halftime, Carbon drove down into Juab territory thanks to a little bit of trickery of their own as wide receiver Nick Haycock passed to wide receiver Garrett Hunt to get the ball inside the red zone. On third down, Juab was penalized for roughing the passer which gave the Dinos new life with under a minute to go in the half. Cisneros found Hunt on a short route and he pushed his way into the end zone to put Carbon back up 15-13 going into the half.
Carbon almost went down going into halftime as Juab returned the kickoff back for a touchdown, but the play was called back on a holding call.
As has been the case over their last three games, the second half proved to be the difference maker. Juab wasted no opportunities as they scored on their first possession of the second half to go up 21-15. From that point Carbon's bad luck continued as they fumbled on their ensuing possession which set up a field goal for Juab to extend the lead to 24-15 with three minutes left in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, Carbon failed to convert on a fake punt which gave the Wasps the ball back in Carbon territory. Juab again marched down the field against the Carbon defense and scored on a short run to push the lead to 31-15.
The Dinos, down by two possessions, showed some life as they scored on another bit of trickery with a pitch and catch as Haycock caught a pass and pitched to a nearby Gagnon for a 73-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 31-21. Trying to make it a one possession game, Carbon went for two but were unable to convert as Juab stopped Cisneros short of the goal line.
Juab appeared to not run out the clock towards the end, leaving the smallest of hopes still alive for the Dinos. Cox, who helped get a safety earlier in the game, intercepted a pass with 1:19 left in the fourth quarter.
The Carbon offense managed a drive down the field, including a fourth down conversion on a catch by wide receiver Colton England to get into Juab territory. Unfortunately Carbon was unable to convert their final shot at a score as the Wasps sacked Cisneros to seal the 31-21 victory for the visitors.
The loss eliminated the Dinos from making the 3A class playoffs as they fell to 4-4 overall and 0-4 in Region 12 play.
While the prospect of making the playoffs is no longer a possibility, the Dinos still have a chance to finish over .500 for the first time since the 2000 season when the team faces Spanish Fork in the last game of the season. In 2000 the Dinos finished 9-3 making it to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
It will also be the last home game for 17 seniors on the squad, who want nothing more than to go out on a high note after a string of tough losses. Game time is 7 p.m. on Wednesday night.

(As published in ALERT magazine, www.latexallergyresources.org) There are three types of reactions to natural rubber latex: Irritant contact dermatitis, type IV (delayed) hypersensitivity, and type I (immediate) hypersensitivity. It is useful to occasionally review the differences between the three, since latex avoidance is critical to those who have latex allergy. While it's important to be aware of potential sources of natural rubber latex in the environment, understanding the difference between type IV and type I reactions can decrease the stress of vigilance.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis is a common reaction and is not an allergy. Itchy, dry, and irritated hands are the result of frequent hand washing and incomplete drying, use of hand sanitizers, and friction irritation from glove powder. Anyone who wears powdered latex gloves can develop this; however, in atopic individuals, contact dermatitis can be a sign of impending hypersensitivity if exposure to latex continues.
Type IV (delayed-type) Hypersensitivity is usually a sensitivity to chemicals used to make gloves, rather than to proteins from the natural rubber itself. Numerous chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, including antioxidants, emulsifiers, stabilizers, accelerators, stiffeners, colorants, and fragrances. Any of these can cause a contact dermatitis 24-48 hours after exposure, which can spread to other areas, including the face, if touched. Symptoms usually resolve spontaneously. Type IV hypersensitivity is also called allergic contact dermatitis, T-cell-mediated allergy, or chemical allergy. It is estimated that 80% of people who develop type I reactions experienced type IV reactions first. Approximately 7-18% of the population has type IV hypersensitivity.
Type I (immediate-type) Hypersensitivity is an allergy to natural rubber latex (Hevea brasiliensis) proteins that occurs as a response to exposure. Vasoactive mediators such as histamine are released, causing a spectrum of clinical symptoms including, among others, hives, nausea, abdominal cramping, and facial swelling with itchy, watery eyes.
Emergency treatment for anaphylaxis may be required, and anyone who has experienced a type I reaction attributable to latex exposure should wear a medical ID bracelet and carry an EpiPen. Type I reactions affect less than 1% of the population.
So how does one know what kind of reaction is occurring? Type IV reactions, so far, have not been life-threatening and tend to be localized near the area of contact. In contrast, type I reactions tend to be systemic and can be life-threatening. Chronic dermatitis may be a sign of chemical sensitivity to other components besides latex protein. Atopic individuals are susceptible to latex allergy, but they are also predisposed to other allergies. This may require further testing by an allergist, or a dermatologist who can prescribe topical medications to control chronic dermatitis.
Those with type I hypersensitivity should avoid latex allergen exposure and they should also be aware of chemical-induced delayed reactions that can be confused for reactions to latex proteins. Keeping a written record of reactions and their causes can help differentiate life-threatening Type 1 reactions from merely annoying Type IV reactions, and it can help physicians offer more targeted treatment.

Neck lump
A neck lump is any lump, bump, or swelling in the neck.
Alternative Names
Lump in the neck
There are many causes of lumps in the neck. The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. These can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, cancer (malignancy), or other rare causes.
Swollen salivary glands under the jaw may be caused by infection or cancer. Lumps in the muscles of the neck are caused by injury or torticollis. These lumps are often at the front of the neck. Lumps in the skin or just below the skin are often caused by cysts, such as sebaceous cysts.
The thyroid gland may also produce swelling or one or more lumps. This can be due to thyroid disease or cancer. Most cancers of the thyroid gland grow very slowly. They are often cured with surgery, even if they have been present for several years.
All neck lumps in children and adults should be checked right away by a doctor. In children, most neck lumps are caused by infections that can be treated. Treatment should start quickly to prevent complications or the spread of infection.
As adults age, the likelihood of the lump being a cancer increases. This is particularly true for people who smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Most lumps in adults are not cancers.
A lump or swelling in the neck can result from the following:
Bacterial Causes
- Atypical mycobacterium (a type of bacteria)
- Bacterial pharyngitis
- Cat scratch disease
- Peritonsillar abscess
- Strep throat
- Tonsillitis
- Tuberculosis
- Hodgkin disease
- Leukemia
- Mouth cancer
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Other cancer
Viral Sources
- Herpes infections
- HIV disease
- Infectious mononucleosis
- Rubella (German measles)
- Viral pharyngitis
Salivary Gland Enlargement
- Infection
- Mumps
- Salivary gland tumor
- Stone in salivary duct
Other Causes
Home Care
See your health care provider to have the cause of the neck lump treated.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have an abnormal neck swelling or lumps in your neck.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The health care provider will take your medical history and do a physical examination.
Medical history questions may include:
- Where is the lump located?
- Is it a hard lump?
- Is it a soft, pliable (moves slightly), bag-like (cystic) mass?
- Is it a painless bag-like (cystic) mass?
- Is the entire neck swollen?
- Has it been growing bigger? Over how many months?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Do you have a rash?
- Do you have difficulty breathing?
If you are diagnosed with a thyroid goiter, you may need medication or surgery to remove it. If the health care provider suspects a thyroid nodule, the following may help in diagnosis and treatment:
- CT scan of the head or neck
- Radioactive thyroid scan
- Thyroid biopsy
If the lump is caused by a bacterial infection, you may need to take antibiotics. If the cause is a noncancerous mass or cyst, you may need surgery to remove it.

Not many girls could fill Sarah Jessica Parker's shoes--er, Manolo Blahniks--as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, but AnnaSophia Robb does so with aplomb in the CW's new Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries (based on the book by Candace Bushnell). Our January Girl of the Month plays the part brilliantly in real life too, upping her fashion game with a steady mix of expertly curated ensembles. Combining a classically feminine aesthetic with fashion-forward pieces, Robb demonstrates sartorial versatility beyond her years and consistently impresses us with her smart style choices both on the red carpet and off the clock. Today, we pay homage to the fashion star on the rise with a roundup of inspired-by picks!
Maintaining a wardrobe that is both age-appropriate and fashionably current is no easy feat for a 19-year-old, but Robb has duly accepted the challenge. It's all about the art of balance for the actress. For example, at the Charlotte Ronson S/S 13 show in September, Robb strategically paired the designer's semi-sheer blouse with a more conservative, below-the-knee skirt, and finished with Reece Hudson's Bondage Miniaudiere ($1295, available in February). And at last year's launch of Salvatore Ferragamo's Signorina fragrance in New York, Robb offset her shoulder-baring dress with a sophisticated blazer, both from the fashion house's S/S 12 collection.
We should also point out that Robb, much like her character Carrie Bradshaw, enjoys a fun fashion moment. Whether she's hitting the red carpet at the CW Upfront Presentation in an Alice + Olivia dress covered with oversized flowers or accenting a sophisticated black and white outfit, including Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet's Arthur Pants ($242), with said designer's lime green pumps while out in New York, we admire the fact that the actress isn't afraid to showcase a playful look from time to time. With the right pieces on hand, incorporating Robb's style into your day-to-day wardrobe is a simple task, so read on for all the details on today's picks.
Get Her Look
Helmut Lang Boxy Stage Blazer ($645)
Perfect for adding polish to an evening ensemble or casual tee, this blazer seemed a fitting choice for today's muse. A boxy shape, cropped back, and ash gray hue lend the jacket its sleek look and modern appeal.
Michael Kors Pavé Hoop Earrings ($145) in Gunmetal
When channeling Robb's style, an important thing to keep in mind is minimal jewelry. Simple pavé hoop earrings like these from Michael Kors will add a subtle dose of glamour to any piece in your closet.
Nicole Miller Techno Metal Box Clutch ($130) in Emerald
Take a page from Robb's style playbook, and accessorize your after-hours ensembles with an intriguing clutch. This box version by Nicole Miller fits the bill with its structured shape and unique fabric exterior.
Raquel Allegra Raw-Edged Stretch-Lace Top ($450)
Ladylike and a bit daring, this lacy top speaks perfectly to Robb's fun and fearless sensibilities. While she might balance its peek-a-boo design with a modest skirt, it would look office-chic worn over a black camisole with tailored, pleat-front trousers.
bareMinerals Blush ($19) in Secret
Though we can't all be blessed with Robb's flawless porcelain skin, you are able to mimic the actress' sweetly flushed cheeks with the help of bareMinerals' Blush in Secret. The mineral-packed formula instantly freshens up your face, giving you a cheerful, radiant glow.
Madewell Melody Dress in Rose ($160) in Light Blossom
Transition your wardrobe with a botanical-print frock inspired by Robb's summery Alice + Olivia pick. You can wear it now with opaque tights and ankle booties, then swap in a pair of delicate ankle-strap heels during the warmer months.
Nine West Flax Heels ($69) in Yellow
Robb's lime green heels are amazing--that's a fact--but we're also crazy for Nine West's similarly striking yellow stilettos. The sunny hue will breathe life into your transitional wardrobe and put some pep in your step well through spring.
Zara Pleated Striped Trousers ($80)
Given Robb's affinity for of-the-moment trends, she's sure to appreciate the striped pattern featured on these slouchy trousers, and we wouldn't be surprised if the actress paired them with a bright heel too.--Jessica Baker

LOWVILLE Lewis Countys former recreational trail coordinator pleaded not guilty Friday in Lewis County Court to charges that he used more than $3,000 worth of county-bought gravel on the driveway at his town of Martinsburg home.
Robert C. Diehl, 43, of 3611 Gardner Road, had his case of third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct adjourned to July 12, with a possible Sept. 9 trial date.
Mr. Diehl, fired by the Board of Legislators in February for alleged misconduct, was accused of submitting a purchase order and voucher for payment Oct. 25 for stone products from V.S. Virkler & Son, Lowville, that included $3,262.97 worth of gravel that was delivered to his residence for his personal use.
The payment, designated as stones for trails, was signed by Mr. Diehl as a legitimate county expense, the indictment states.

Four medical specialists declared 17-year-old Steven Thorpe brain dead after he suffered devastating injuries in a 2008 car accident, and prepared to harvest his organs. But Thorpe's family had second thoughts, refusing to give the okay to end his life. And it's a good thing because Thorpe woke up from his "irreversible" brain damage and five years later is making, by his own estimation, a "full recovery."
The U.K.'s Daily Mail recalled that Thorpe, a British secondary school student, was riding in a Land Rover with two friends in February 2008 when the vehicle hit a horse in the road, killing one of the other young men and severely injuring Thorpe, whom doctors declared brain dead two days after the accident. "The doctors were telling my parents that they wanted to take me off the life support," Thorpe, now 21, recalled to the Daily Mail. "The words they used to my parents were, 'You need to start thinking about organ donations.'"
But Steven's parents, John and Janet Thorpe, were convinced that they had seen a flicker of life in their son's eyes, and instead of giving the hospital permission to proceed with the organ harvesting, they decided to get a second opinion. "They still believed I was there," the younger Thorpe said. "When they sat around the bed they had the feeling I was there and some words they said to me I reacted to."
John Thorpe contacted Dr. Julia Piper, "known for her work in traditional and alternative medicines," reported the Mail. Piper in turn asked a neurosurgeon she knew to visit the boy at University Hospital in Coventry. After examining Steven, that doctor determined the teen was not "brain dead," and while it appeared to be a long shot, he had a small chance of recovering. Thorpe's doctors agreed to try to bring their patient out of his medically induced coma, and within two weeks he had regained consciousness. Seven weeks later he left the hospital.

SEMANA SANTA Easter Holy Week in Larantuka , East Flores
SEMANA SANTA Easter Holy Week in Larantuka , East Flores
27 Mar 2013 - 31 Mar 2013
Each year, the week before Easter Sunday, the town of Larantuka, East Flores, solemnly celebrates the Holy Week, popularly known here as "Semana Santa". This year the series of rituals will occur from 27th to 31st March 2013.
During this special week, the small town of Larantuka will be thronged with thousands of pilgrims, not only coming from surrounding islands in Flores but also from Java, Bali as well as many international tourists. This is because of Larantuka's unique commemoration of Holy Week which blends Old Portuguese devotion with local tradition. Pilgrims come here to pray but also to participate in this one of a kind procession.
The Semana Santa will commence with the Rabu Trewa or the Shackled Wednesday (or Ash Wednesday) on 27th March, on the mid-Easter week. On this day, devotees gather in chapels and pray, remembering the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot which led to Jesus' arrest and shackling. This is the time when the town of Larantuka turns into the Town of Mourning; a time when it drowns into solemnity and reflection for the purification of the soul.
In the afternoon of Maundy Thursday, devotees enact the tikam turo ritual in preparing the route for the following day's seven kilometer procession by planting candles along the route. At the Chapel of Tuan Ma (Virgin Mary) the casket that has been sealed for one year is carefully opened by the Conferia, and the statue of Tuan Ma or Virgin Mary is bathed and then dressed in mourning clothes (a piece of black or purple, or blue velvet coat).
The pinnacle of the rituals falls on Good Friday or the Sesta Vera which this year falls on 29th March 2013. The door of the chapel of Tuan Ma and Tuan Ana (Jesus and the Virgin Mary) opens at ten o'clock in the morning. The Good Friday procession is highlighted by the ritual of carrying the statue of the body of Jesus Christ, placing Jesus at the center of the ritual and placing Mother Mary at the center of attention, as the mourning mother (Mater Dolorosa).
The Sabtu Santo (Holy Saturday) and the Minggu Paskah (Easter Sunday) follow the next days, marking the end of the entire Easter week procession.

News: Mets sign Jacobs, Riggins amd Takahashi
The Mets announced they have signed 1B Mike Jacobs, C Shawn Riggans, and Japanese pitcher Hisanori Takahashi, all to minor league deals with major league invites.
Earlier today, Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Mets have signed Jacobs to a $900,000 minor-league deal, though he can earn another $1.15 million through incentives.
Jacobs played 309 games at catcher in the minor leagues with the Mets. In his final season with Double-A Binghamton, in 2005, he played 43 games at catcher and 54 games at first base.
The 34-year-old Takahashi had a 2.94 ERA in 25 games last year in Japan, while striking out 126 batters in 144 innings.
In 64 games with the Rays the last three seasons, the 29–year-old Riggans hit just .202 with a .266 OBP, one HR, and three RBI – he tossed out just four of 29 runners trying to steal.
CHONE projects Riggans will hit .242 with nine HR and 33 RBI in 104 games this season.
…i am intrigued by riggans, who might have ended up as a back-up in Tampa had they not acquired Kelly Shoppach, and thus non-tendered shawn… i would not be shocked to see him give Omir Santos a run this spring…

About Me Practical
Comments about 15.6" Laptop Backpack:
Bought the product in October 2013 and instantly liked it. I used this over the cheap bag provided by my office.Less than a year after purchase, the back strap part already gave in. I am not expecting this from a product in this price range. The sales lady said I could always bring it in for repair but the shop is already gone when I went to the mall yestersay.Hope to still get my money's worth.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Backpack
By Rene
from San Antonio, TX
I bought this backpack for work since I carry a tablet with wireless keyboard, laptop and small camera plus all the cables that go with each, plus work files, ipod and cell phones.

Plus it looks great and has a slim profile so it's not bulky. I'll be getting another one for my dj'ing setup as well. Higly reccommend this backpack!

Company climbs into the top 25 on list of top 500 technology innovators
CHICAGO – Leading technology magazine InformationWeek ranked Exelon 25th overall and the top electric utility on this year's list of the top 500 technology innovators in the U.S. This is the eighth consecutive year Exelon has been named to the InformationWeek 500.
"Exelon is honored to be named to the InformationWeek 500" said Daniel C. Hill, senior vice president and chief information officer of Exelon. "The ranking demonstrates the critical role that IT strategy, architecture, and solid execution plays throughout our organization and with key initiatives such as the ComEd new smart meter pilot program."
InformationWeek recognized Exelon's IT organization in particular for its support of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) pilot program that Exelon subsidiary ComEd is conducting in up to 131,000 customer homes and businesses across its Northern Illinois service territory. In support of the initiative, the Exelon IT team developed an AMI solution architecture to transform related business processes and achieve optimal performance. The pilot enables ComEd to assess how the new meter technology can improve service and help customers make more informed decisions about their energy use.
"For 22 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek editor-in-chief Rob Preston. "As we start to emerge from the worst recession in decades, the IT focus is now on driving growth — new sources of revenue, new relationships with customers, even new business models. This year's ranking placed special emphasis on those companies and business technology executives leading that charge."
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing, and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America's best-known companies.

Read: People Are Keeping Their Mouth Shut/Finally Serious About Making A Deal
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes that one of the encouraging signs of the CBA negotiations is that many of the involved parties are keeping their mouths shut and not leaking out much information.
Friedman says that the two sides are finally showing how serious they are about making a deal, but that there is no guarantee that it leads anywhere.
He does note that even during the final stages of the NBA lockout there were arguments and heated discussions but it ended with a deal getting done.
In closing, Friedman says "I know many of you are hopeful. But don't get excited until it's done. There are a few potential traps and it will take time to navigate them."

Mini Buffalo Chicken Balls
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce or any other favorite hot sauce
- 1 pound ground chicken, preferably thigh meat
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 celery stalk, minced
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the vegetable oil into a 9�13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
Combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan, and cook over low heat, whisking until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
Combine the hot sauce mixture, ground chicken, egg, celery, bread crumbs, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
Roll the mixture into round, 3/4 -inch balls, making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

UPDATE: England, meet your new Prince!
Will & Kate just left the hospital, giving the world its first glimpse at their newborn baby boy.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to leave the hospital on Tuesday or Wednesday after the birth of their son -- and when they do, you'll see it here first!
Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed an 8 pound, 6 ounce boy, who was born at 4:24pm on Monday.
No name has been released yet, but the newborn is now third in the British line of succession, behind William and his father Prince Charles ... meaning one day he will likely become the King of England.
Prince Charles and Camilla stopped by Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital to visit their new royal grandson this morning -- with Charles saying "You'll see in a minute" when asked about the baby.
Does that mean we'll be seeing him very soon? Fingers crossed!
Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton were seen at the hospital as well, telling the crowd "He's absolutely beautiful."
"We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received," Will and Kate said in a statement on Tuesday. "We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone -- staff, patients, and visitors -- for the understanding during this time."
Keep checking back to see their exit in the livestream above. We'll also update with photos when and if they come in!

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports editor
Students and faculty at USU Eastern spent Wednesday morning grieving together as the news of men's basketball coach Brad Barton's death shocked many on campus and in the community.
Barton, 31, was found dead in his apartment Tuesday afternoon of undetermined causes.
Price police Sgt. Bill Barnes said there was no sign of foul play at the apartment near the college. Barton's body was discovered by an assistant coach, who had come to check when he became concerned about not hearing from Barton since Monday.
Barnes said the state medical examiner's office is involved in trying to determine the cause of death.
The basketball team was notified of Barton's passing by USU Eastern athletic director Dave Paur. Crisis counseling was being provided to athletes as they dealt with the news of their coach's passing.
On Wednesday morning, students and faculty gathered quietly in the ballroom at the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center to remember and honor Barton. Students embraced each other during the memorial as some had tears flowing down their cheeks and others laid their heads on the shoulders of friends.
"This gathering is a way for students and faculty to discuss our grief and help give support to one another during this difficult time," said USU Eastern Chancellor Joe Peterson.
Peterson said the campus was "shaken" after news spread across campus Tuesday of Barton's death.
"After the initial shock of hearing the news, our thoughts turned to the students and faculty who were close to Brad," he said. "It's wonderful to see the unity of the campus during these times as it shows we're there for each other."
Many in the room also waited in lines to write personal and farewell messages to Barton on gold blankets with the USU Eastern name imprinted on them. The personalized blankets will be presented to Barton's parents as a traditional way to say goodbye to a beloved member of the college family, according to Peterson.
Barton was named permanent head coach of the men's team in June, having served as interim coach during the previous season. During his interim season, he helped guide the team to a record of 23-7, with three of those losses coming at the hands of the eventual national champion, College of Southern Idaho.
He had been head assistant coach at USU Eastern under Chris Craig, who left before the 2010-11 season.
Barton had also served as an assistant coach under Mike Ostlund at Snow College from 2006-07. He played high school basketball at Davis High and went to BYU-Hawaii for two years before he transferred to Weber State University. He led the Big Sky Conference in assist-to-turnover ratio both seasons at Weber State and he averaged 3.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 60 career games with the Wildcats, according to stats from the Weberstatesports.com website.
"He was ecstatic about being named head coach," said Craig in a telephone interview Wednesday morning. "The job meant a lot to him and he knew what it meant to the community."
Craig, who has coached with and known Barton for six years, called Barton a "special, special unique person" who was always there for his players whenever they needed him. Many times, Craig said, Barton would be on campus and at the gym until the late hours of the night working one-on-one with the players.
"He purely coached to help the kids," Craig said. "He was a tough coach and made the players really work hard for everything. But whether he was an assistant or a head coach, he gave his life for those kids and really cared for all of them."
Outside of the court, Barton loved to spend time with the players and do activities in the outdoors. When the team traveled on long bus trips to places like Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and Rangely, Colo., Craig said Barton would pass the time joking around with the players and reading books of all kinds.
"The guy was a genius," Craig explained. "He could have done whatever he wanted to in life."
But a love for basketball kept him around the game both as a player and a coach. The former captain of the Weber State basketball team was a scrappy player who worked hard to make it despite not being the most athletically gifted player.
"Brad was kind of a one-in-a-million person and player," said former Weber State University basketball coach Joe Cravens to the Standard Examiner newspaper on Tuesday night. "He played for me on a team that went undefeated in (Big Sky Conference play in 2002-03). He was kind of the heart and soul of that team. He wasn't the star but he was the guy that kind of made that team go. He was the most competitive, compassionate player I think I've ever coached."
As a player, a coach and a person, people who knew Barton can always remember him for the way he carried himself and the way he pursued goals in life, especially with his love for the game of basketball.
"He wanted to play the game as long as he could and then he was going to coach for as long as possible," Craig said. "You never get to see many guys like him. It can't get much better than that as a player or coach."
A memorial service for Barton has been tentatively scheduled to take place on Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Dee Events Center on the Weber State University campus.

Hello, brilliant Pastafarians. I am looking for help in getting an illuminated display of FSM on a fire tower in Reading, Pennsylvania.
A Christian Cross has graced the city-owned fire tower for some 50 years. This cross is lit during Passover and changes to a star that is lit during the Christmas season. The ACLU wrote two letters to the Mayor of Reading asking him to remove the cross since December 2008. He has ignored these requests and the ACLU has threatened legal action. The mayor has expressed that he is willing to fight the ACLU and not take the cross down. He has seemingly received a lot of public support.
Here's an article:
I wrote a letter on behalf of the "Reading Chapter" to the mayor via an online form to let him know local Pastafarians want to put an illuminated FSM on the tower as well. We are unable to determine if our letter was received or not due to an "internal server error".
This is a mock-up design for the new, improved fire tower we submitted:
http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16 ... ock-up.jpg
I will be happy to post the letter if you like or feel it's necessary.
We also sent this to the editor of the local newspaper (ReadingEagle.com) who is of the belief that anonymous citizens do not deserve to participate in public discourse. We wish to remain as anonymous as possible since we are employed in this community and would like to keep it that way.
Any suggestions or help you could be provide would be greatly appreciated!

Read: What Ryan Callahan is Missing The Most The Right Now
Last week, following a skate up in Rochester, the Democrat and Chronicle caught up with Rangers captain Ryan Callahan who talked about the lockout.
Callahan was asked about the ebb and flow of talks and said, "You try and stay as even keeled as possible. You just gotta keep your sanity about it and keep working."
He said that he felt one thing missing more than any other, "The biggest thing is you miss competing. I've never had a lull like this. You try to get the best skates in that you can and continue to work out in the gym."
Callahan has been splitting time between NYC and his hometown of Greece, New York with his five and half month old daughter Charlotte.
He has also been skating up in Rochester and spent some time with the hockey team from Nazareth.
During the baseball playoffs, Callahan and Dan Girardi watched and celebrated Raul Ibanez's walk off home run.

This is regarding the letter from Jackie Ross (Aug. 15, Letters to the editor).concerning Bobby Warren's rants in Letters to the Editor.
I whole heartedly agree with her in everything she said. Mr. Warren needs to get a broader view of life in general.
While I'm at it, I also want to comment on Mr. McCourt's article in the same edition (Wasatch Behind: Paleo Progress).
Finally he has written something interesting and not negative without "Spud." I actually could ge through the whole articleand I learned something I didn't know.
The article left me with a desire to go to the museum.
Thanks Mr. McCourt.
