Green Bay Packers linebacker Dezman Moses (54) tackles St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson (39) during the second half Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. / Jeff Curry/US PRESSWIRE
ST. LOUIS — Having already pulled off a fake field goal for a touchdown and a fake punt for a first down this season, it was with extreme confidence Packers coach Mike McCarthy called a surprise onside kick in the first quarter against the Rams.
Just like those special teams trick plays, designed by coordinator Shawn Slocum, the Packers pulled this one off, too.
It was a combination of a sky-ball kick by Mason Crosby, heads-up plays by Jarrett Bush and M.D. Jennings and the hands of Jamari Lattimore that resulted in the Packers recovering it.
�We have it up every week,� McCarthy said. �It�s a skill that Mason Crosby, I think, is exceptional at. Frankly, watching him kick it Friday in practice, he hit two that were as high as I�ve seen him kick it. I even said to Shawn, if the opportunity comes, I feel good about the way Mason�s striking it. At that point in the game, I was trying to get the momentum to switch.�
A 3-yard touchdown catch by Jordy Nelson had given the Packers a 7-3 lead when Crosby angled his kickoff to the right, where Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson jumped to try to retrieve it. That�s when Bush and Jennings knocked Johnson off his course, causing the ball to come free.
�I saw him going up, and I kind of felt like I wouldn�t be able to get it,� Jennings said. �So my thing was to make sure he didn�t get it. I don�t know if it was me or Jarrett Bush, but that was a big play to get the ball back for the offense.�
Just one Rams player, linebacker Josh Hull, had a chance at the ball, but he couldn�t come up with it among a pile of several Packers players. Lattimore then dove on the loose ball for the clear recovery at the Rams� 49-yard line.
�After the guy jumped up and had it and then got hit, I saw it and a couple of my guys tried to cover the ball up, and it kept rolling,� Lattimore said. �It was a good spark when the play was called in the huddle. That sparked everybody, and everybody got hyped about it. We went out and executed it.�
The Packers managed a 47-yard field goal by Crosby on the ensuing possession.
Illegal hit
It looked like the Packers had come up with a defensive stop on a third-and-19 play in the third quarter when linebacker Dezman Moses broke up a pass to Rams running back Steven Jackson, but instead Moses was called for a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.
He didn�t lead with his helmet or hit Jackson in the head but was flagged and could face a fine.
For what, exactly, Moses isn�t sure.
�I didn�t launch,� Moses said. �He was spinning, and I just saw the ball going toward him. I wanted to break it up before he got going because he�s a big, strong guy. He�s a powerful man, so you�ve got to be aggressive when it comes to a guy like that. He�s 6-foot-2, 230, 240 pounds. That�s how you�ve got to play football with him.�
The penalty didn�t prove costly because the Rams were forced to punt on that series.
Injury update
The only injury the Packers announced after the game was to defensive lineman Mike Neal, who left in the first quarter because of a knee injury but returned in the second half.
Before getting hurt, Neal played as an inside rusher in the Packers� nickel defense and as the lone defensive lineman in the Bat personnel group (one defensive lineman, four linebackers and six defensive backs).
When Neal was out, rookie Mike Daniels replaced him in the Bat.
Center Jeff Saturday had his shoulder wrapped in ice after the game.
All-day Jones
At the start of the season, Brad Jones was the Packers� No. 4 inside linebacker. But Sunday against the Rams he played every defensive snap and was the defense�s signal caller.
Jones started at inside linebacker in place of injured D.J. Smith, who had been starting since Desmond Bishop sustained a season-ending torn hamstring in the preseason opener. Smith also is out for the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament last week at Houston.
Jones stayed on the field in the nickel defense, along with inside linebacker A.J. Hawk, and remained the lone linebacker in the dime personnel. Jones finished with two tackles and one quarterback hit.
The Packers also rotated M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian at one safety position in their nickel and dime defenses, as they did last week. Jennings played the first series and they appeared to alternate series thereafter.
Odds and ends
■ Mason Crosby missed a chance to tie his franchise record when he sent a 58-yard field goal wide right on the final play of the first half.
�Just how it came off my foot, I think I got a little quick and wasn�t able to clear my hips toward the target,� said Crosby, who was 3-for-4 on field goals. �It just came off my foot weird. On a long one like that, the timing needs to be perfect. I felt like I just might�ve gotten a little quick and pushed it a little bit.�
■ Second-year cornerback Davon House played for the first time since his shoulder injury in the Aug. 9 preseason opener. He played an outside position in the dime defense. Though he gave up the Rams� final touchdown � a 3-yard pass from Sam Bradford to Austin Pettis � House otherwise held up OK while being tested several times, especially late in the game. He was credited with two tackles and one pass breakup while playing with a brace on his shoulder.
It was House�s first NFL playing time on defense after playing only on special teams in two games as a rookie last season.
�I think it went really good,� House said. �I did what I wanted to do, pressed at a high level, had a couple of breakups. Besides that last play, I thought I played well.�

Motorcyclist killed in Clearwater accident
Clearwater Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle accident that happened on Memorial Causeway Saturday night.
Officials say the driver, Justin Asmundo, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash between Island Way and the roundabout in the eastbound lanes. Traffic was blocked for several hours following the accident.
According to witnesses, Asmundo was driving well above the 30 miles per hour posted speed limit in a reckless manner. Upon changing lanes and going airborne over a small bridge at excessive speed, Asmundo lost control of the vehicle, striking the median curb, ejecting from the motorcycle, and impacting a small tree in the median.
The roadway was partially closed during the investigation, but all lanes have since reopened.

UHV professor continues to be part of university's growth
Li Chao recalled a time not that long ago when the University of Houston-Victoria sat on the brink of growth.
It was 1995 when the university launched plans to offer courses in Sugar Land. And, while the facilities were in place, one important element was missing: people.
"I was one of two professors who went to Sugar Land to teach," he said. "But there weren't enough students. I had to take five students from Victoria – in a van – and drive to Sugar Land. That was really how we started."
From small beginnings to the many UHV students who now take classes at UH Sugar Land daily, the drive to push forward and adapt to change paved the way for UHV's future.
It's the same mindset Chao uses in the classroom.
The professor of computer science and mathematics in the UHV School of Arts & Sciences said he strives to educate his students about the latest and greatest the digital world has to offer.
"You have to teach them what's new on the market, or they won't have any motivation to learn," said Chao, who also works as chairman of the school's Technology and Mathematics Division. "And companies need people who know this stuff. When our students come out of school, they should know the new stuff."
Computer science is a longtime passion for Chao, who doesn't remember the last time he worked an eight-hour day. Even away from work, the exploration continues.
"People like me, we're just curious," he said. "Whenever new things come out, we get so excited. We're willing to sacrifice other things to learn more about it."
Chao was born and raised in China but moved on to the U.S. to attend the University of Wyoming in Laramie. There, he obtained a master's degree, two doctorates and two IT certifications – Oracle Database Administrator and Microsoft Solution Developer.
He joined the UHV faculty in 1995.
Chao's work doesn't end with classroom lectures. Research opportunities also join the mix.
His current project focuses on mobile devices and cloud computing, a system in which many devices are connected on one network, allowing them to share information and communicate in real time.
It's a trend, it appears, that will grow with time.
"It's really solved a lot of problems," said Chao, explaining such networks allow a safe, stable environment for vital information while still giving others access to the information they need.
Chao has published two books on cloud computing – one on research and another on teaching.
Although he loves his work, he admits there are times when he needs to step away from the computer. When that time comes, he takes to the great outdoors.
The educator said he enjoys gardening and grows a variety of flowers and vegetables.
"Once you get into it, it's not that hard," he said. "I watch everything grow, and it's exciting. Instead of jogging outside, I'm out in the garden. It's even better."
An avid sports fan, he also enjoys baseball, football and basketball, although he rarely finds time to play.
Looking forward, Chao said he expects both UHV and the School of Arts & Sciences to continue growing with time. With that growth, he hopes to see more students pursue computer science.
After all, the demand is there.
Chao said companies contact him all the time looking for students to fill open positions.
"Our students don't have an unemployment problem," he said. "A lot of them already have companies trying to hire them on when it's time to graduate. I would just like to have more students."
The Faculty Feature is an online feature highlighting faculty members from each of the University of Houston-Victoria's four schools. To nominate a faculty member, contact Paula Cobler , UHV director of marketing and communications, or call 361-570-4350.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

Associated Press Release
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A "supermoon" rises this weekend.
The biggest and brightest full moon of the year graces the sky early Sunday as our celestial neighbor swings closer to Earth than usual.
While the moon will appear 14 percent larger normal, most skywatchers won't be able to notice the difference. Still, astronomers say it's worth looking up and appreciating the cosmos.
The moon will be closest and turn full around 7:30 a.m. EDT, making it the best time to view.
As in any supermoon event, high tides are forecast because of the moon's proximity, but the effect is expected to be small.
Forget about the myths that swirl every time a supermoon appears. There's no link to higher crime or bizarre behavior. Scientists say that's just lunacy.

Liquor stores join 'Face It, Parents' youth anti-drinking campaign
(Media availability: On Wednesday, March 12, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., experts from DHS, OLCC and Oregon Partnership will be at West Slope Liquors, 8765 SW Canyon Lane, Portland, to talk with reporters about the "Face It, Parents" campaign. Visuals will include awareness campaign materials against a backdrop of liquor bottles. Store phone number: 503-297-5118 )
A campaign to warn adults about the perils of underage drinking is going directly to consumers at state liquor stores, with posters and tip cards from the "Face It, Parents" program.
The educational material is being placed at check-out counters in 20 liquor stores (see list below) in a joint prevention effort by Oregon Partnership, the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Addictions and Mental Health Division and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
"Teenagers tell us in surveys that they're getting much of their alcohol at home," said Bob Nikkel, DHS assistant director for addictions and mental health. "This campaign helps remind parents of that so they can do something about it."
The "Face It, Parents" posters center on how alcohol use can harm the developing adolescent brain. Research shows that children who start drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to have alcohol-related problems when they become adults.
And more young people are turning to distilled spirits, said Karen Wheeler, DHS addictions policy and program development manager.
"It's a startling new trend that our kids now prefer hard liquor over beer as their drink of choice," she said. "Kids often get their alcohol from home. Parents should tell their children that underage drinking is not permitted in their home or elsewhere."
Parents need to control alcohol in their home and talk to their children about house rules against underage drinking, Wheeler said.
The most recent DHS Oregon Healthy Teens Survey shows that about a third of 8th graders and about half of 11th graders have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days. And 31 percent of 8th grade drinkers and 37 percent of 11th grade drinkers prefer distilled spirits, the survey indicated.
Here are the topics on the "Face It, Parents" tip cards:
The free materials are available from Oregon Partnership. To order telephone 503-244-5211 or 1-800-282-7035 (toll free), or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Face it, Parents" is an Oregon Department of Human Services prevention campaign managed by Oregon Partnership with the goal of reducing underage drinking through parental education. In the first 16 months of the campaign young people around the state developed radio and TV public service announcements that received substantial airplay.

Vincentian claims 3rd straight WPIAL Class A girls title
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Danielle Dindak's 3-pointer and Katie Sieg's 12-foot jumper 30 seconds apart to start the third quarter pulled Serra Catholic within two points of top-seeded Vincentian Academy.
"At that point, I thought we were in perfect shape," Serra coach Bill Cleary said.
Apparently, Cleary clearly forgot about Brenna Wise.
Wise scored 15 of her game-high 25 points during a decisive five-minute span of the third quarter, including 11 in two minutes, as top-ranked Vincentian claimed its third consecutive WPIAL Class A championship with a 66-46 win over No. 2 Serra on Saturday at Palumbo Center.
It was Serra's worst loss against a Class A team in 57 games.
"I just kind of realized that it is time to turn it up," said Wise, who added 13 rebounds and six blocks. "It was time to come ready to play and leave it all out there. We didn't want to live with any regrets, and the victory kind of represents itself."
It was the first three-peat in Class A in more than 20 years, and it was the eighth WPIAL title for Vincentian in the past 19 years. No WPIAL team, boys or girls, has won more championships over the past two decades than Vincentian.
"We are just trying to build a tradition and a powerhouse at Vincentian," Royals coach Ron Moncrief said.
Vincentian (22-3) will be the top seed out of District 7 in the upcoming PIAA playoffs and will play District 9 third-place finisher Port Allegany (22-1) on Saturday at a time and site to be determined. Serra (23-3) will play District 10 runner-up Cochranton.
"This never gets old," Moncrief said. "It really hasn't hit me yet. I am just very proud for the girls."
Wise put together her typical game against Serra (averaging 23.5 points and 16.5 rebounds in four meetings) but received plenty of help from some hot-shooting teammates. Torrieonna Cash and Maia Joiner scored 11 points each as Vincentian shot 53 percent (8 of 15) from 3-point range. The Royals came into the game shooting 35 percent from long range.
"I have watched them on more than one occasion and have videotaped them, and no doubt this is the best they've shot," Cleary said. "They have always been good, but I never saw them shoot like that."
Serra, which got 14 points from Sieg, battled through that hot shooting to get within striking distance early in the third when Vincentian seemingly couldn't miss during a 25-5 run that turned a 34-32 lead into a 59-37 advantage late in the quarter.
"I don't think they missed a shot when they came out of there," Cleary said. "We went ice cold and they didn't miss one and that's how you secure championships. My hat's off to them. They did what they had to do and pulled away from us."
Vincentian returns four starters next year but isn't thinking about being the first team to win four WPIAL titles in a row since Oakland Catholic (1999-2003) ... yet.
"Once we complete our next goal of a state championship we can talk about four-peat," Moncrief said.

Doctors may take cyclist out of comaComment on this story
Cape Town - One of South Africa's top junior cyclists remained in a coma on Monday morning after being knocked off his bike late last week.
Jevandre Pauls, 19, from East London, was riding on Polkadraai Road outside Stellenbosch on Friday when he was hit by a car.
His coach and manager at Bonitas Pro Cycling, Barry Austin, said on Monday: "They're going to try to maybe take him out of an induced coma this afternoon and see if he can breathe, to test his lung function. But we'll only know later."
The young rider's parents were at his side, having arrived on Saturday night.
This was his first year as an elite professional cyclist and Austin said Pauls was a "multiple junior cycling champ" with titles on the track and on the road.
"He's part of the team building up to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016," Austin said.
"Anyone who watched the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Momentum Cycle Tour would have seen him on that long breakaway from Smitswinkel, all the way to Chapman's Peak, doing the job for his team."
Pauls and a fellow-rider, Craig Symons, 23, were knocked down while training for the Western Province Track Championships at the Bellville Velodrome.
Austin said the driver stopped at the scene, and he understood the driver and witnesses had been interviewed by police.
Symons is understood to have suffered a fractured pelvis.
Pauls is at the Netcare private hospital in Kuils River.

Adam Aldred jailed for meat cleaver attack on holidaymaker in Skegness
Posted: January 10, 2013|
A man who slashed a holidaymaker with a meat cleaver has been jailed for six years.
Adam Aldred left his 21-year-old victim with a serious head injury after carrying out the attack outside the Stumble Inn in Skegness.
Phil Howes, prosecuting, said Aldred's younger brother became involved in an altercation with a group of visitors from the Nottingham area and then rang Aldred for help claiming he was under attack from a gang of ten men.
Aldred, who was woken up by the call, got out of bed and drove to Lumley Road.
Mr Howes said: "It was a deliberate attack when he had armed himself with a weapon.
"He got out of the driver's side of the car and produced the weapon which he swung at the head of the victim. The weapon was a meat cleaver.
"The victim's brother punched the defendant and then there was a further swing with the meat cleaver which missed. The defendant then drove away.
"The police were informed what had gone on. They were in the vicinity and gave chase.
"The defendant drove into the wall of a property in Drummond Road and was apprehended.
"The complainant was taken to Skegness Hospital and then moved to the Pilgrim Hospital at Boston.
"He had a deep wound to the left side of his head which was bleeding profusely. Part of his scalp was sliced and had to be stitched back. He also had a small wound to his arm."
Adam Aldred, 43, of South Parade, Skegness, admitted charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, affray and possession of an offensive weapon as a result of the incident on October 24.
The court was told that he was only released from prison in August after serving a six-year sentence for a drugs offence.
Judge Michael Heath told him: "This was unprovoked. A weapon was used and it was in a public place.
"You were under the influence of alcohol and you were on licence from prison.
"Not only did you actually make contact with the victim but you also took a swing at his brother."

Revolutionary? Definitely.
Despite a strong cross wind, the Sea Ski was relativlely untroubled and handled chop with consummate ease. - Sea Ski
Innovative? Without a doubt.
It's called the Sea Ski and while it may look like an ordinary catamaran at first glance, an ordinary catamaran it is not!
According to its designer, Trevor Payne, the Sea Ski has 'radically redefined the capabilities of small craft in sea conditions.'
Big claim, for sure, but at this stage I'm not going to argue with him.
Last week I grabbed the opportunity spend some time behind the wheel of this most unusual vessel and to describe the feel when driving the boat as 'different' would be an understatement.
Powerboat-World editor Bob Wonders was the first boating writer (and one of the very few other than designer Trevor Payne) to take the wheel of the Sea Ski. - Sea Ski
Trevor Payne hails from Chinderah, on the Tweed River just on the NSW side of the border with Queensland.
We launched this unique vessel at the Fingal Head boat ramp and gave it a 'blast' up and down the Tweed River.
It's difficult to describe the 'feel' at the wheel.
The boat almost feels 'skittish', but we were operating in a fairly brisk cross-wind; in more stable conditions Trevor assures me the boat runs as though it's on rails!
One thing I learnt very quickly; don't slow down in a hurry; decelerate quickly and you'll almost go through the windscreen as the skis dig in and bring the boat to a stop as though a brake was applied.!
I should also point out that this was in no way a boat ready for the market; it's strictly a prototype at this stage and will no doubt be subject to further fine tuning or 'tweaking.'
Theoretically, this 6.5-metre rig with a 225hp Mercury outboard, installed on a jacking plate at the transom, has the capability of doing a Brisbane-Sydney run in much the same time as a car!
The Sea Ski at speed along the Tweed River showed istself easily capable of 100kms. - Sea Ski
I say theoretically because the boat's fuel capacity would not allow it to actually do that.
Nevertheless, Trevor has timed boat (via GPS) at 90km/hr cruise and 120km/hr at wide open throttle.
The secret to the boat's performance stems from the full length 'skis' beneath each sponson; each ski also has full length running strakes.
As Trevor explains, the design calls on an aviation 'trick' in that it uses speed to generate an effect aircraft pilots refer to as the WIG (wing-in-ground) experience.
'This is created by a cushion of air, essentially between the ground and the wings of a landing aircraft and it offers more lift to the aircraft at slowing down speeds,' he explains.
'Consequently, when the Sea Ski achieves that same WIG effect it is actually floating on a cushion of air,' he added.
According to Trevor, this WIG effect allows the Sea Ski to virtually float across wave troughs as they open beneath the hull.
Note the running strake on the port side ski. - Sea Ski
'The leading edges of the skis have wave piercing attributes and deal with higher than average waves tat would probably jar a more traditional hull,' he says.
Additionally, Trevor believes the design can best be described as a 'high performance sea skimmer', able to maintain speed in seas that other vessels would be forced to slow down in.
In between its skis or sponsons, the hull of this all-aluminium vessel is perfectly flat, helping compression of the air gathered beneath.
Other 'bonuses' Trevor claims for the Sea Ski design include capability of shallow water operation (it has minimal draft), stability when anchored, excellent fuel consumption and low maintenance.
'I think also that one of the advantages achieved with the design is in its simplicity,' Trevor says, 'there are no moving parts, no electronics or anything involved that might be termed 'high-tech' and expensive.'
The Sea Skis clearlly visible at the vessel's bow. - Sea Ski
At this stage, Trevor has priced the boat, ready to go, at about $275,000.
He is quick to point out that he personally is no boat builder.
'My role will be in management, marketing and quality control, I've given the manufacturing rights to a competent boat builder in the form of Harwood Marine International,' he explained.
The Sea Ski on the trailer designed specifically for its unusual bottom by Trevor Payne himself. - Sea Ski
Trevor is not kidding when he says 'a competent boat builder'.
Trevor Payne, the man 'thinking outside the square' and designer of the Sea Ski. - Sea Ski
Harwood Marine International, situated on the banks of the Clarence River, near the famous holiday spots of Yamba and Iluka, is renowned as a world class shipyard.
Summing up, despite what some may feel are 'unfounded' claims for the design by Trevor Payne, what he has done (or is going) is thinking outside the square.
For that alone I give him 10 out of 10!

Art by Bob AulWithout the railroad, this place wouldn't have become Orange County, and little Dick Nixon—raised in short pants and dust—wouldn't have grown up to become Richard M. Nixon.
Passenger-fare wars between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines in the late 1880s made it possible for hard-working, God-fearing, politically conservative (but poor) Midwesterners and Southerners to move here in great numbers. At one point, a one-way ticket from Kansas City to Los Angeles cost $1. On the return trip, Southern California shipped new ideas—real-estate marketing, chiropractic medicine, odd religions—and lemons and oranges.
Without the railroad, Frank Nixon wouldn't have drifted to Los Angeles in 1907 to land a job as a streetcar conductor. Nor would he have lost that job after hitting an automobile, an act of fate or negligence that drove him into manual labor and failure as a lemon rancher at the eastern terminus of the Pacific Electric railroad line in a Quaker town called Yorba Linda.
Without the railroad, Frank Nixon's son, Richard, wouldn't have heard the hypnotic rhythm of railroad cars rattling on the tracks a mile from his house, or the sound of locomotive whistles piercing the stillness of the night. He wouldn't have imagined his earliest dream, of someday becoming a railroad engineer, of traveling to distant, unknown places. It's an understandable ambition in a young boy growing up in a dusty little town at the edge of a desert where rattlesnakes and tumbleweeds outnumber possibility 100 to one.
It makes some sense, then, that a quarter-mile from the high-tech, immaculate Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda is a different kind of memorial to our most famous native son and former president: two railroad cars rotting on the side of Imperial Highway. They're antique railroad cars, two of the hundreds of Pacific Electric cars that made up the mass-transit system traversing Los Angeles and Orange counties. A plaque on the first car reads, "Mini-Museum. President Nixon. Pacific Electric Car." But it's not much of a museum, even for a mini one. The windows are boarded, the cars little more than splinters and rust. There's graffiti scrawled on the back and Coors Light cans tossed carelessly underneath. It seems more abandoned than merely unkempt, like a once-cherished memory deliberately driven into oblivion.
Standing atop one of the cars, you can watch automobiles stream by on Imperial Highway, steered by drivers doing what so many of us do in Yorba Linda: driving through it as fast as possible. But the Red Cars make a kind of weird, poetic sense: I'd come to the Nixon Library today, for the first time, to pay my own kind of respects to the memory of the only man ever to resign as U.S. president; the 25th anniversary of that resignation is Monday. These dilapidated cars suggest the underbelly of the Nixon legacy, the neglected, provincial part scarcely touched by the brightly polished, cosmopolitan history found inside the Nixon Library.
Any guided tour of Nixon Country must begin with the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace. It's required visiting for even the most casual student of history and worth the price of admission ($5.95) just to trip out as you stand toe-to-toe with life-size statues of the world leaders Nixon thought were most important in his life. I especially like the pint-sized Nikita Khrushchev and the towering Charles de Gaulle. The stacks of Dan Quayle books for sale at the entrance stink of brimstone.
Nixon's family left Yorba Linda for nearby Whittier when he was 9. But there is one other Yorba Linda building that offers a glimpse of his life you don't get from his memoirs or the more soft-boiled biographies.
Nixon painted those days in Yorba Linda as a time of bucolic peace in an unspoiled countryside. In reality, it was a dusty, windy, arid piece of land filled with snakes, horned toads and all kinds of things that bit, clawed and scratched. If you think Santa Ana winds are hell now, imagine what they must have been like 80 years ago, when there were no trees or buildings to block their howling progress.
Human nature was also quite different from the Rockwellian portrait of salt-of-the-earth farmers. Orange County politics were already taking on the fiercely conservative tone that would brand it for the rest of the century. In common terms, that tone was produced by the middle-American values all those Quakers and Methodists and other migrants brought with them—the devotion to local control and free enterprise. In more extreme terms, such conservatism could heartily embrace fanatical groups like the Ku Klux Klan, which dominated city government in nearby Anaheim in the 1920s. In that town, the city pool was drained and refilled after the one day each week that Mexican children were allowed to swim.
Yorba Linda escaped that taint, but the Yorba Linda Packing House reflects a glimmer of the turbulence that engulfed most of the nation in the years following World War I. Just east of the Nixon Library on Yorba Linda Boulevard, the Packing House is reckoned to be the place where Richard's mother, Hannah, went to work after Frank's lemon grove went sour. Labor in the packinghouse was harrowing and, for Hannah, humiliating: being forced to work long hours for low wages was bad enough; being forced to do so alongside Mexicans and other poor migrants was, she felt, the real punishment. According to Roger Morris, one of Nixon's biographers, young Richard was physically repulsed by the movement and sounds of the heavy machinery. It's interesting to wonder about his psychology: his experience with the Dickensian plant could have turned Orange County's most famous conservative into a radical. But it didn't, even when he woke up one morning in 1920 and saw, with the rest of his town, that agitators affiliated with the radical International Workers of the World, or Wobblies, had painted a huge IWW on the walls of the packinghouse.

Anyone sending their kids to camp this summer? Day camp? Overnight camp?
DS is scheduled to participate in two soccer camps, just day camps.
My daughter went to "splash camp" this year - basically, fun time at the Water Park! I loved that camp!
No overnight camps for us . . .
My kids still go to day camp. My oldest will age out after this year, but he doesn't want to go to sleep away camp next year, so I have no idea what we will do with him.
No small kids at home anymore. My boys use to go to the girls and boys club and sometimes would camp with them in the summer time

Legal Organizations require a quality infrastructure, one that balances costs and risk, internal and external resource usage and both one-time and systematic compliance issues. Additionally, to support a Legal Organization's efforts and justify its decisions, that infrastructure must effectively value information, and offer reporting mechanisms to demonstrate achievement and to measure results.
State and federal rules of civil procedure and emerging common law, as well as compliance issues within some industries impose significant costs on businesses whether engaged in litigation or not.
E-discovery has become a daily challenge for General Counsel, the CIO, the COO and the Risk Management Department, as well as for Outside Counsel. All face a choice of policies, procedures and technologies for insourcing (such as by using forensic software and employed staff) or outsourcing electronic discovery processing, management and review. All have responsibility for proper preservation, sharing and management of electronic documents for a matter.
Assessments are developed using in-depth interviews, review of existing documentation, surveys, day in the life observation and data collection. Results are summarized using a maturity model framework(s), combined with in-depth findings, anecdotal information and recommendations.
As part of the Assessment process, Eleventh Hour collects information that supports development of business goals, functional roles and responsibilities, internal capabilities, LPO, benefit metrics, and risk decisions that may impact implementation plans.
The Strategic Roadmap offers recommendations for closing the gap between assessment findings and recommended practices by identifying specific projects to address each key area including people, process and technology as part of a time projected implementation program. Goals are framed in terms of benefit objectives, decision risks and proposed metrics for measuring success.
Engage Eleventh Hour to assist through implementation of the litigation support/ediscovery program as team lead.

Authorities say political signs could be causing a stir around the Wiregrass.
The Wiregrass Electric Cooperative says signs, poster, and objects on utility poles present a safety hazard to linemen. And if these signs are not properly placed on poles, right-of-ways, or private property, they'll be disposed.
Dothan Police Dept. Captain Nick Monday said, "I think nationwide, especially with so many races going on at once; sure it's here in Dothan. And as it gets closer to election time, we'll see more and more signs."
Police tell News 4 most accidents occur at intersections. This can especially be hazardous if these same intersections are filled with distracting political signs.

Any sawyers here know what the going price for sugar maple logs is? I know there are likely a lot of factors involved but as a general rule what can I expect to get for straight, clear, sound logs 7-12 ft long, up to 20 in in diameter.
Any sawyers here know what the going price for sugar maple logs is? I know there are likely a lot of factors involved but as a general rule what can I expect to get for straight, clear, sound logs 7-12 ft long, up to 20 in in diameter.
Thread Continues Below...
your best bet is to phone at least two local mills. It seems maple has been moving around in price a little. Things to factor in price. Are you selling logs or tree's
can you load the logs
will you sell one or must take all
can the person buying pick and choose
Selling logs isn't as profitable as selling kiln dried
You say up to 20" in Dia. if they get much smaller you are not going to get a lot of useable lumber from them
BUT I wish I was closer cause I need some maple
My thoughts
It is kinda surprising how little you get. I had 5 logs sawn that were all about 20 ins on the big end and I believe they only yielded about 250 bf.
If your dreams don't scare you, you are not dreaming big enough
Thanks guys! I appreciate the input. I have a bush full of mixed hardwood and I know how difficult it is to move logs of any size without heavy equipment. (I cut 15-20 cord of firewood every year but nothign log worthy this year) There were logs listed for sale a short trip away from here so I thought I would try to figure out what a decent offer might be seing as they were already on the ground and straight looking logs.
It may not be worth my effort; the seller may have no idea the effort or cost required to turn them into boards or firewood.
What is a cord of wood in Ontario, where I am from a cord of wood is 16 inches wide, 4 feet high and 24 feet long, or 4x4x8 and if you drive to Chicoutimi just across the St-Lawrence river, a cord is 16 inches wide, 4 feet high and 8 feet long, so it takes 3 Chicoutimi cords to make a Rivière du Loup cord. So when you buy your wood you have to make sure that your are taking about the same cord, I cut about 10 Rivière du Loup cords every year for the heating my house and my workshop (garage)
Interesting...I have always considered a cord of wood to be 4' x 4' x 8'. The actual volume of wood depends on split vs whole logs ... but still contains 128 cubic ft of volume overall.
You're not working in metric, by any chance??
Salut !
Thread Continues Below...
Jacques- I have occasionally seen firewood sold by the `face-cord`, which is identical to your Chicoutimi cord. When wood is scaled it must contain 128 cubic feet, identical to your Riviere-de-Loup cord. Why or when this started to occur, I have no idea. Roy
Are you solving the problem, or becoming part of it?
I believe face cords started at the advent of the air tight stove rage. As a selling feature the face cord was cheaper to the newbie and it was the right size to fit into the stove.
my thoughts
I was referring to face cord as we call it, and a bush cord, or cubic cord, or whatever else it's called is usually 3 of them but the dimensions are 4x4x8 when all is said and done.
Although I have tons trees in my woods of these I bought some maple logs yesterday, 400 feet of length in all, avg 14" diameter, and dropped them at the mill. Will let you know how they turn out. I learned a lot from the dude that will cut them in 40 minutes of conversation, and although he is twice the price my neighbour would charge, I know I will get the most out of the logs. Not only that, I will know how to keep the log pristine when I drop a bigger one this winter.
A cord of wood has always been 8' wide 4' high and 4' deep that is it.
When the face cord came to be it was to apease the urban people with the new airtight wood stoves to offset the rising cost of fosil fuel way back when. A face cord is 8' wide 4' high and 16" deep and it just fits fits into the urbans stoves. Some guys have filled an average pickup truck to see what they will hold, and sold there firewood that way. A cord is a cord, a face cord is a face cord. Cut and dried (no pun intended)
Thread Continues Below...
I got the boards home last night from the mill and am pleased with the quality. Didn't really calculate bd feet but it pretty much filled a 6X10 trailer 2 ft deep. The sapwood was all cut 4/4 and the stickered pile is 4 feet wide, close to 3 feet high. I also ended up with a bunch of 8/4 stock that was close to, or was the heartwood so a lot of that will likely not be that desireable however there are plenty of decent boards for a work bench. Should be able to make lots of mistakes now.

What a thrill it was to have our Medio Fondo route named by Bicycling Magazine as the best ride in New Jersey and included in their listing of the 50 best rides in America.
Riding the routes every week, one can easily take for granted the beauty of the terrain of northern New Jersey, the challenges it offers, and the great little towns and hamlets along the route.
Thats why at Gran Fondo NJ we openly publish our routes for cyclists to download and experience on their own.
During ride day on Sept. 9, cyclists will be both pampered at the rest stops and challenged by the climbs.
A big change from last years event will be the participation of mens and womens professional-level cycling teams riding among the masses. They will be there to encourage the less experienced cyclists along their way and to provide the more experienced cyclists with the thrill of riding alongside them up the major climbs.
Being a mass-participation event, the prizes awarded for the King and Queen of the mountains will be largely symbolic in nature, but every cyclist will get a finishers medal to commemorate their achievement of the day.
Marty and I believe whether you are riding our 18-mile Breve route or our extremely challenging 106-mile Gran Fondo route, it is all about setting a personal goal and working hard to achieve it.
Last weekend over 60 cyclists participated in one of the four training rides over the summer, getting the chance to preview either the Piccolo (43-mile) or Medio (63-mile) routes, and in the process try out some leading-edge cycling technology tubeless wheels.
The team at Stans No Tubes was on hand with loaner tubeless wheels. Rather than having a traditional inner tube, these wheels and tires contain a sealant which when punctured immediately fills the hole. With this equipment, not only can you run at a more comfortable tire pressure, but gone are the days of sitting on the side of the road with a patch kit, repairing a flat tire.
Another key change from last years event will be the new post-ride raffle, open to all registered riders. The raffle will feature a large assortment of prizes of different values, with the most coveted ones being the Italian cycling vacation in Tuscany, provided by VBT, and one of four all-carbon road bikes provided by the events presenting sponsor Jamis Bicycles of Northvale.

'Over the past decade, the world has witnessed growing threats to the safety and security of cities and towns. Some have come in the form of catastrophic events, while others have been manifestations of poverty and inequality, or of rapid and chaotic urbanization processes. This publication, Enhancing Urban Safety and Security: Global Report on Human Settlements 2007, addresses some of the most challenging threats to the safety and security of urban dwellers today. As the report tells us, urban violence and crime are increasing worldwide, giving rise to widespread fear and driving away investment in many cities. Large numbers of people in cities all over the world, including most of the one billion currently living in slums, have no security of tenure, while at least two million are evicted every year ... The report highlights the key role urban planning and governance have to play in making our cities safe and secure for generations to come. Through its documentation of many successful experiences, it promotes learning and sharing of knowledge on urban safety and security. I commend it to all those interested in the health of cities around the world.'

1st Avenue S. ramp closure, day 3: SDOT's take on how it's goingMay 19, 2010 at 8:32 pm | In Alaskan Way Viaduct, Spokane St. Viaduct project, Transportation, West Seattle news | 14 Comments
From this afternoon's South Portal Working Group meeting for the Alaskan Way Viaduct project: This group has often received briefings on the Spokane Street Viaduct Widening Project, and that's part of what kicked off today's session, with a focus on effects of the permanent closure of the 1st Avenue South onramp to the westbound (high) West Seattle Bridge. SDOT's Bob Powers pronounced Monday and Tuesday as "pretty good" traffic-wise – but noted the congestion was worse on day 2. He says they've got observers out watching the traffic flow (and non-flow, "We're taking a look at that, trying to fine-tune some of the signal timings down there to make it operate as best we can," and keeping a log of how it unfolds. He mentioned the communication system, using dynamic-messaging signs and Twitter to get drivers advance word, if the "low bridge" has to open for vessels – checking the SDOT Twitter feed, it appears there was one bridge opening Monday morning and one Tuesday morning, but none today, and none during afternoon/evening rush hour since the ramp closed on Monday. "We have a very well-coordinated notification if a vessel's coming through," Powers said. Also from SDOT, Trevor Partap chimed in that "We're calling in more police officers to help (direct traffic through the detour) … Today they (were) at Spokane and East Marginal, which was a little more congested yesterday. We're continually monitoring, and once things settle down, we'll look into" signal re-timing, etc. He also explained why lower Spokane Street, eastbound, did NOT open Monday as SDOT had announced it would during a media tour on Friday – and how long it'll be till it can open – That plus a few other toplines from the meeting, after the jump:
Here's Partap's explanation for the non-opening of eastbound lower Spokane St.: The "electrical" problem mentioned Monday turned out to be wires/cables cut during construction work, rendering signals inoperable. Then they discovered that because of work on 1st Avenue just south of Spokane, trucks wouldn't be able to turn easily – add all that to the staging that is still necessary because of water-main work in the area, and they decided they couldn't reopen the eastbound 1st to East Marginal stretch of lower Spokane after all.
When WILL they be able to open it? The water-main work will take at least another month, according to Partap, and then they'll review the status of the street.
Regarding the main focus of the working group – the Alaskan Way Viaduct project – members heard a detailed report from WSDOT's Travis Phelps regarding the myriad ways traffic/construction issues will be communicated. "We lead with the Web," he said, but detailed almost every other way imaginable to get the word out, online and offline, on the road and on the phone.
Looking ahead to the next few years of detours, there'll be a clickable/zoomable map showing exactly how they'll work – it was shown today as a draft, but WSDOT's Kristy Van Ness tells WSB that it should be publicly available online next month. She also says official groundbreaking for the South End Replacement Project is likely to happen in late June.
Meantime, while the working group was originally scheduled to take a break till September, a few members including West Seattle's Pete Spalding said they'd like to meet again sooner – a host of topics were postponed from today's agenda, including the seawall and ferry-traffic coordination – so it was agreed that a July meeting will be scheduled.

Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on what is going on. This is a big project and it's hard for everyone to keep track.
Comment by Marie — 8:54 pm May 19, 2010 #
hmmm… The low bridge was open to marine traffic on my way home from Sodo after work tonight at 6:45pm. I suppose that's too late to be considered the evening commute.
Comment by ajwren — 9:45 pm May 19, 2010 #
Thanks, AJ. I'll check on that but I believe the emphasis time is 3-6 pm, for SDOT's view of it, anyway – TR
The reroute for the 21 bus and all other traffic is subject to loooong delays from the rail traffic. We sat on the 21 westbound at Hanford waiting for a train that went so slow and finally got to one car away from the end and then started to back up. We were delayed 30 minutes. It was ridiculous. I expect this kind of thing will happen all the time for the next 18 months of the project.

Lou, I was on that bus, too! Luckily I only had 7:30 dinner plans, so getting home at 6:00 was ok… but I caught the bus at 4:50 downtown, so it was definitely a huge delay. Big credit to our driver, though! Very proactive in calling Metro about the problem, and for keeping cool and friendly. I'm sure he was more stressed than the passengers!

SarahScoot, I too was on that bus! I was more frustrated that I had finished the book I was reading on the morning commute and had nothing to read! It was exasperating to have this long freight train slowly go back and forth numerous times. Each time it seemed that the last train car was going to pass; it would reverse directions (again and again). I heard that Burlington Northern isn't as sympathetic as the Port of Seattle.

They must have a very narrow viewpoint for analysis.. like just the traffic moving across the lower west seattle bridge.. if they think it's going well.
There is major roadwork on every approach to spokane street which is closed…
Comment by JoB — 9:55 am May 20, 2010 #
I agree w/ JoB – the traffic is terrible. Between the ramp closure, the lane closures on 4th and 1st, and the #$&*#$%^ trains it takes 1 hour + to get from SoDo to West Seattle in the evening – a ride that usually took me about fifteen minutes. It's pretty devastating to think this will last for more than one year. I don't know whether to move or look for another job.
Comment by Ro — 10:12 am May 20, 2010 #
We were all on the same 21 I think! Sat at tracks from 5:12 to 5:42 by my watch. Thankfully I had not finished my book yet! I guess the worse case scenario would be hitting both the tracks and bridge opening in one commute.
Comment by JEM — 10:38 am May 20, 2010 #
I was also caught by the low bridge opening – on Tuesday – and it was barely after 6pm, like about 6:04. It took over 20 minutes for a large container ship to pass, and that was after waiting in a long line just to make the left turn onto Alaskan Way from the detour from 1st. I think 6:30 would be a more reasonable "rush hour" cut off (I'd actually prefer 7pm but understand that ships need to get through too).
Comment by LAintheJunction — 12:52 pm May 20, 2010 #
LA – I would urge you to communicate that to SDOT, maybe through 684-ROAD. They indicated at the meeting that they are continuing to re-evaluate. If 6:30 is a more reasonable cutoff and enough people voiced that, perhaps the time frame could be altered? – TR
Thanks for the great updates on the process. I've been impressed with the SDOT website and communication thus far. They have kept close to schedule and are building trust in an on-time project. The end result looks great and will be a tremendous improvement.
Dealing with the RR is another issue as I think we've all experienced the 20 minute shuffle shift of cars. It is about the most exasperating experience out there.
Comment by jsl — 6:58 pm May 20, 2010 #
Just wondered if anyone was aware that in August 2010, the new 4th Ave ramp will begin "tying in" to the existing viaduct. In order for this to happen, I hear that the City will close the right lane of the Eastbound Spokane Viaduct for 2 months (around the clock). This means there will only be one lane open between 4th Ave and the I-5 ramps.
We reported that in the story the Friday before the ramp closure, and will certainly be issuing ongoing warnings as it gets closer … TR
Sorry, comment time is over.

Word on the street is that Rep. Tom Emmer of Delano, one of the two leading Republican candidates for governor of Minnesota will announce his running mate Tuesday. This comes just a few days after his rival, Rep. Marty Seifert of Marshall claimed first place in this ticket filling derby, by naming Anoka County Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah as his second in command.
Update: Emmer's "major campaign announcement" Tuesday was that he had formed a search committee to screen potential running mates. Current Lt. Governor Carol Molnau and Rep. Matt Dean are spearheading the effort.
This is happening more than two months before the pivotal state Republican convention in Minneapolis, where delegates will endorse a candidate on May 1st. All of the major GOP candidates have pledged to abide by the convention process, rather than take it to the August 10th primary. So, for all practical purposes we'll know by May who will carry the party's banner in November.
Odds are Emmer will pick a female too, and many are already speculating it will be one of lawmakers who endorsed him earlier in the battle. One of them is Rep. Laura Brod, a rising conservative star from New Prague. As of Monday night she would only go as far as telling reporters she'll help Emmer any way she can.
Of course, Emmer could forget gender balance on the ticket and go with a male, but with female voters skewing Democrat in Minnesota that would be a risky proposition. If House Speaker Margaret Kelliher or Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner wind up winning the DFL endorsement, it's conceivable they'd pick a male to balance the ticket.
I noticed we haven't had any males in that role since I moved to this state in December of 1997. And yet a quick check of the reference sites showed that female lieutenant governors are a recent phenomenon, which mirrors the emerging role of women in politics and government.
The first 41 of Minnesota's lieutenant governors were men, starting with William Holcombe who was elected in 1858 when Henry Sibley was the governor. The first female elected to that post was Marlene Johnson, running mate in 1982 to Rudy Perpich. He, by the way, was last Democrat elected governor in this state, when he won reelection in 1986.
Marlene Johnson was followed by Joanell Drystad, who was Republican Arne Carlson's running mate in 1990. Joanne Benson succeeded Drystad in 1995 after running alongside Carlson in 1994. Mae Schunk served was elected in 1998 on the Reform (now Independence Party) ticket with Jesse Ventura.
And the current person in that slot is Lt. Governor Carol Molnau, who ran twice with Tim Pawlenty, winning in 2002 and 2006. Molnau also took on the additional duty of transportation commissioner in Pawlenty's first term, but was ousted from that job by the DFL-controlled Senate in February of 2008.
It turns out the notion of "running mate" is also a recent development in Minnesota history. Prior to the 1974 election the "number two" ran on his own ticket, and so you could have a lieutenant governor from a different party than the chief executive.
On the campaign trail you don't often see the gubernatorial candidate and a running mate at the same event. The aspiring lieutenant governors are often deployed to other events, so that the team can cover more ground and shake more hands.
In fact former State Auditor Judi Dutcher, a one-time Republican who switched parties, was on such a solo flight in 2006 when she committed the cardinal sin of not recognizing the term E85. She had been on a tour of an ethanol plant the day before, so she was aware of the importance of corn-based fuel.
But the question about E85 came after a series of 14-hour days on the stump for the Dutcher-Hatch duo, and it followed questions about education funding. The local reporter in Alexandria conducting the interview didn't think anything of it, but when the tape was fed back to the mother ship in St. Paul it became the turning point in the election.
The media full-court press began, as reporters demanded that Attorney General Mike Hatch explain why his running mate wasn't well versed enough on a product made for flex fuel vehicles. Hatch thought the media response was unfair and out of proportion, and unleashed a salty term that provided the attack machine all the ammunition it needed.
And then there's the hyper cerebral Rep Phyllis Kahn, a long serving Minneapolis Democrat, who wants to do away with the position of Lieutenant Governor altogether. In that scenario the Secretary of State would succeed a governor who dies or exits office before finishing his or her term.
That bill was already rejected by a House committee this year.

While farmers in much of Wisconsin suffered through a bone-dry summer and a brutal growing season, many farmers in Door County fared much better.
Rich Olson had his best corn crop ever.
Olson, who farms land eight miles south of Sturgeon Bay, says they averaged 178 bushels an acre on their 200 acres of corn. He says that bests their previous high of 156 bushels an acre.
Olson says he had no idea they'd have such a big crop, let alone a record-breaking one.
Olson says it was a dry summer but they got just enough rain at just the right times.
Tim Siehr, executive director of the USDA's Farm Service Agency for Door and Kewaunee counties, told DoorCountyDailyNews.com in late July the Door Peninsula was like the "garden spot" of Wisconsin and that crops -- especially corn and soybeans -- were holding up well despite the dry conditions. (Door County's Crops Faring Better Than Rest Of State, 7/30/12)
Olson says he was in the Watertown area in late July and couldn't believe the state of the corn crop there.
"I had never seen the devastation that a drought can do to a corn crop, where the corn was actually drying up and the corn plant was dead," says Olson. "There was no chance of that corn coming back."
Olson says he feels "very fortunate and very blessed" that they not only were able to get the best crop they ever had but also to receive a price that was in the top third of its historic price range.

One of the city's quirkiest and most fun dining experiences is tucked away behind a small storefront on Mitchell Street. At this tapas restaurant, the chef-owner Paul Luna is often as involved in your dining selections as you are, stopping to pull up a chair and chat up patrons in the small dining room. The menu changes regularly, but Luna always does well with seafood, soups, and fresh, seasonal vegetables. Note that the restaurant is not child-friendly.

|Targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor in solid tumor malignancies.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22385404 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is over-expressed, as well as mutated, in many types of cancers. In particular, the EGFR variant type III mutant (EGFRvIII) has attracted much attention as it is frequently and exclusively found on many tumor cells, and hence both EGFR and EGFRvIII have been proposed as valid targets in many cancer therapy settings. Different strategies have been developed in order to either inhibit EGFR/EGFRvIII activity or to ablate EGFR/EGFRvIII-positive tumor cells. Drugs that inhibit these receptors include monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to the extracellular part of EGFR, blocking the binding sites for the EGFR ligands, and intracellular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that block the ATP binding site of the tyrosine kinase domain. Besides an EGFRvIII-targeted vaccine, conjugated anti-EGFR mAbs have been used in different settings to deliver lethal agents to the EGFR/EGFRvIII-positive cells; among these are radio-labelled mAbs and immunotoxins. This article reviews the current status and efficacy of EGFR/EGFRvIII-targeted therapies.

|Exercise capacity in an individual with LVAD explantation without heart transplantation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20436356 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|PURPOSE: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become a viable treatment alternative to heart transplantation, in some instances providing for a level of improvement of native heart function to allow for device explantation. The aim of this case study was to describe changes in physical work capacity following 9 months of LVAD support.
CLINICAL CASE: The patient described here was diagnosed with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and demonstrated worsening heart failure over a 5-year period with a maximum left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 8.99 cm and an ejection fraction of 15% to 25%. Upon implantation of an LVAD, central hemodynamic function improved and the device was removed after 9 months of support. Left ventricular diastolic and systolic diameter decreased by 39.8% and more than 30%, respectively. The left atrium decreased by 21.7% and ejection fraction was maintained by the LVAD and stabilized at 20%. Four months postexplantation, a cycle ergometry graded cardiopulmonary exercise test was performed. Exercise began at 0 W and increased 25 W per 3-minute stage.
RESULTS: The patient showed improvement in peak aerobic capacity when compared to pre-LVAD cardiopulmonary stress tests. Peak oxygen uptake increased from pre-LVAD measures of 11.8 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1) to 17.0 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1). Time to maximal exertion increased from 5 minutes 27 seconds to 15 minutes.
CONCLUSION: Results of this case study indicate that significant improvements in native heart function leading to an increased ability to perform work is possible following a period of mechanical unloading through LVAD support.

|The prognosis of a normal stress-only Tc-99m myocardial perfusion imaging study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20390394 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Stress-only imaging saves time and radiation exposure, but apprehension remains about the reliability, diagnostic, and prognostic accuracy of a normal stress-only study. The objective of this study was to determine the prognosis of stress-only SPECT MPI in routine clinical practice. METHODS: Patients at lower pre-test risk for CAD presenting for a Tc-99m SPECT MPI over a 2-year period underwent a stress-only protocol. If the stress images were normal (attenuation correction was routinely acquired on all patients), rest imaging was not done. Outcomes of the stress-only group were compared to a full rest-stress protocol cohort. Only patients with normal perfusion and left ventricular function, and no known CAD, were included. All-cause mortality was determined using the Social Security Death Index and specific causes of death were determined using the National Death Index. The difference in all-cause and cardiac mortality between groups in the presence of competing risks was assessed using log-normal survival models. RESULTS: Out of 10,609 patients studied during the time period, 1,673 had a normal stress-only study and 3,237 had a normal rest-stress study. At one year, there were 20 total and 3 cardiac deaths (1.2% and 0.2% mortality) in the stress-only group, and 40 total and 4 cardiac deaths (1.2% and 0.1% mortality) in the rest-stress cohort. At the end of follow-up (40 +/- 9 months), there were 46 total and 7 cardiac deaths (2.7% and 0.4% mortality) in the stress-only group, and 119 total and 17 cardiac deaths (3.7% and 0.5% mortality) in the rest-stress cohort. No significant difference between the stress-only and rest-stress cohorts was found after controlling for confounding variables for both all-cause mortality (p = .94) and cardiac mortality (p = .82). CONCLUSIONS: A normal stress-only MPI has an excellent short-term prognosis (both for all-cause and cardiac mortality) comparable to that of a normal rest-stress MPI study.

Ordered a DS game online as new, but what I got was a used copy. they had deleted all the saves, but some unlockables were still unlocked unaffected by the saves, the manual is slightly dented and the game wasn't even tucked in box correctly. So basically they had tried to cover it up but failed miserably.
I mailed them today about it, but here's my question, it's in generally good condition what do I need to worry about? The OCD in me is telling me that it will suddenly break somehow but i dunno.. it's in working condition but still.. I told them in the mail that I would be expecting a new copy or the new/used money difference back, but since the game is out of print i'm not keeping my hopes up.
Isn't it like fraud selling used games as new? And what can I expect in terms of "rights" if they do not care, seeing as I live in Sweden and I ordered from the UK..
Anyways, a bit bummed out about it..

Stars bring in extra defenseman
Defenseman Maxime Fortunus joined the Dallas Stars for tonight's game against St. Louis but was not needed.
The Stars brought in Fortunus from Texas of the American Hockey League as injury protection. Defenseman Nicklas Grossman missed the third period of Fridays' win against Edmonton because of an undisclosed injury. Grossman was in the lineup against the Blues.
Fortunus has appeared in eight games with the Stars this season and had a minus-1 rating in six of those appearances. He is expected to remain with the club for the final week of the regular season.
