|Radio frequency transmyocardial revascularization enhances angiogenesis and causes myocardial denervation in canine model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10918289 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) relieves angina and improves exercise tolerance in patients. Angiogenesis and myocardial denervation have been proposed as factors contributing to these benefits. To test whether radio frequency transmyocardial revascularization (RF-TMR) enhances angiogenesis and causes myocardial denervation. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: RF-TMR channels were created in 12 dogs which survived up to 4 weeks. Bromodeoxyuridine was administered subcutaneously to mark proliferating cells as an assay of angiogenesis. Western blot analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase and blood pressure response to topical bradykinin were used as indices of myocardial denervation. RESULTS: RF-TMR increased local vascularity by an average of 50%, whereas the rate of vascular cell proliferation was tripled over that of the untreated region. Changes in mean arterial pressure with bradykinin and tyrosine hydroxylase content were significantly decreased in RF-TMR regions as compared with normal myocardium in the same hearts. CONCLUSION: RF-TMR enhances angiogenesis and causes myocardial denervation in canine myocardium as with laser TMR.

|Involvement of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic factors in the early development of the human pituitary gland.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18712678 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The spatial and temporal pattern of appearance of pro-apoptotic caspase-3 and p53 proteins, and anti-apoptotic bcl-2 protein was investigated in the developing pituitary gland of 6 human embryos 5-8-weeks old, using morphological and immunohistochemical techniques. Their dynamic appearance was analyzed in the Rathke's pouch (future adenohypophysis), mesenchyme, and in the developing neurohypophysis. In the 5th and 6th week, caspase-3 positive cells appeared in the Rathke's pouch (5%) and stalk (11%), in the mesenchyme, but not in the neurohypophysis. In the 6th and 7th week, apoptotic cells were more numerous in the caudal part of the Rathke's pouch due to its separation from the oral epithelium. Pro-apoptotic p53 protein was detected in all parts of the pituitary gland throughout the investigated period. Nuclear condensations characterized cells positive to caspase-3 and p53 proteins. Apoptotic cells displayed condensations of nuclear chromatin on an ultrastructural level as well. While caspase-3 dependent pathway of cell death participated in morphogenesis of the adenohypophysis and associated connective tissue, p53-mediated apoptosis most likely participates in morphogenesis of all parts of the gland, including neurohypophysis. The anti-apoptotic bcl-2 protein was also detected in all parts of the developing gland. With advancing development, the positivity to bcl-2 protein increased in the cells of the adenohypophysis, while it decreased in the neurohypophysis. Bcl-2 protein probably prevented cell death in all parts of the gland and enhanced cell differentiation. The described pattern of appearance of the investigated pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic factors might be important for normal morphogenesis and function of the pituitary gland.

Evidence Based Practice
Housing First
Housing First is an approach to ending homelessness that centers on providing homeless people with housing quickly and then providing services as needed. What differentiates a Housing First approach from traditional emergency shelter or transitional housing approaches is that it is "housing-based," with an immediate and primary focus on helping individuals and families quickly access and sustain permanent housing. This approach has the benefit of being consistent with what most people experiencing homelessness want and seek help to achieve.
– from the National Alliance to End Homelessness website
Learn More
Hamilton Family Center has been among the foremost pioneers in advancing Housing First principles through our focus on Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing. Learn more about these and other promising practices in the following papers from the Homelessness Research Institute.
Ending Homelessness for Families: The Evidence for Affordable Housing
Studies consistently show that subsidized housing – with or without additional services – has helped families to leave shelter and stay out." – Marybeth Shinn, Professor of Human and Organizational Development at Peabody College, Vanderbilt University.
Housing Vouchers Are Critical for Ending Family Homelessness
"Those who leave homelessness with a rental subsidy are much less likely to become homeless again than those who have no subsidy." – Jill Khadduri, past director of the Policy Development Division at the U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD)
Resources & Tools
Hamilton Family Center developed the Housing Assessment Matrix – or HAM Tool – to efficiently and effectively determine whether a family or individual is eligible for various types of housing, and identify the most appropriate level of assistance needed to help ensure long-term housing stability.

Because of space limitations, trees are being squeezed out of the South Robert Street makeover.
Current plans for the nearly $22 million overhaul of the 2.5-mile stretch of road in West St. Paul include trees in some areas of the raised median and behind the sidewalk where there is room.
However, that is seen as not enough by some on the West St. Paul City Council, who last week delayed a decision on a landscaping plan and directed city staff to look into what impact adding trees to sidewalks would have on the overall project's timetable and price tag.
Jump-started by a $7 million federal grant, planning began more than three years ago to fix the look, functionality and safety of the busy corridor between Mendota Road and Annapolis Street.
Work, which is scheduled to begin next spring, will include building raised and landscaped center medians; adding two lanes north of Butler Street by removing parking; and replacing the road's aging pavement, storm sewer network, traffic-control signals and streetlights.
The project has not been without setbacks. Business owners have raised concerns about the median, which will allow only right turns along most of the road and cut off accesses. Meanwhile, the project's overall price tag doubled from an original one because of unanticipated expenses and underestimates.
Earlier this month, the city's project consultant, SRF Consulting Group, presented the $2.5 million plan for landscaping and lights, as recommended by the Robert Street Public Advisory Committee.
Council member Jenny Halverson objected to the absence of sidewalk trees.
"To me, this whole project is about safety, Number 1, but it's also about improving the attractiveness of the area," said Halverson, who joined the council in January.
Dave Hutton, a senior associate with SRF Consulting, told the council that the 80 feet they have to work with is just not enough to plant trees.
Because South Robert Street is a state road, the 8-foot-wide sidewalks must also adhere to ADA accessibility guidelines, which require a minimum of 4 feet for pedestrians. Also, the Minnesota Department of Transportation does not allow anything within 2 feet of a curb, Hutton said.
"So when you put both those dimensions together there's no room for street-light poles or trees in that 8-foot area by today's standards," he said.
Adding trees in the sidewalk area along South Robert would add a "significant cost to the project," SRF Consulting told the city in a follow-up letter in response to Halverson's concerns.
Acquiring an additional 3 feet of right of way along the entire corridor to plant trees would cost an estimated $1.1 million, the letter said.
SRF Consulting also said that negotiating with property owners for additional easements for trees could delay the project.
In addition, it would cost $2,500 to $3,000 per tree because of supporting infrastructure such as grates and irrigation, the consultant said. Depending on the spacing of trees, that would add up to $500,000 to $1 million or more to the overall project.
Despite the prospect of an inflated price tag, council members said at last week's meeting they now agree with Halverson.
"I think we need to do a little more exploration and do this right with trees," council member Dick Vitelli said. "You're right ... when we're done with this, people should say, 'Wow, did they do a beautiful job here.' And maybe that's going to mitigate some of the arguments from some of the people (who say) that we're taking away one their accesses."
Council member Dave Napier said he has had to sell the project to business owners and residents who have expressed concerns in the past, and he believes the city should take another look at the landscaping plan and "do it right."
"I want to be proud of it and I want the community to be proud of it and I want all of the businesses to accept it and be proud of it," he said. "And to do that, I think trees ... the corridor needs to have a beauty to it, it needs to have a welcoming feel to it."
Halverson, meanwhile, said she is now concerned that sidewalk trees are being pegged as an extra cost.
"To me, this should have been part of the budget from the beginning," she said.

Years ago, because refrigeration wasn't like it is today, sauces were invented to mask any imperfections in a dish. In the late 1800s they became the crowning jewels of gourmet cooking without which any king's feast would have been incomplete.
Years ago, because refrigeration wasn't like it is today, sauces were invented to mask any imperfections in a dish. In the late 1800s they became the crowning jewels of gourmet cooking without which any king's feast would have been incomplete.
Thanks to Antonin Carême, hundreds of sauces were born. Then, August Escoffier, the father of modern French cuisine, took these sauces to another level. He broke them down into five essential categories, known as the "mother" sauces. His elaborate work of creating a family tree of sauces not only revolutionized the way cooking is done, but also ushered gourmet cooking into everyone's home kitchen.
The French term "saucier" refers to either the vessel in which the sauce is prepared or more importantly, the highly skilled chef in charge of making the sauces to compliment the menu items. This coveted culinary position relies extensively on the knowledge of the "mother" sauces and the fundamental techniques they require. Once a chef or home cook is taught how to make one of the five "mother" sauces, then they can add or substitute ingredients to generate different kinds of secondary sauces also known as "small" sauces.
All five of the "mother" sauces must have a thickening agent of some sort, which is sometimes referred to as a liaison, as well as a liquid to be thickened. Unlike when they first originated, today's sauces don't cover up, but instead, compliment the flavors of a particular dish and give it an identity.
On the top of the sauce chart we find:
- Béchamel sauce: This is the quintessential of the white/cream sauces. It uses a "blond" roux as a thickener and milk as the liquid to be thickened. A blond roux is simply equal parts of butter and all purpose flour cooked quickly together. Usually this sauce is flavored with salt, white pepper and freshly grated nutmeg. The final product should coat the back of a spoon and when you run your finger across the coating it should leave a clear finger path. This sauce is known for its silky smooth qualities.
- Velouté sauce: For a liaison, this sauce uses a roux as well. The color of this roux can range from blond, light brown or dark brown. It is the corresponding dish that usually dictates the appropriate hue. The liquid that this sauce uses can be a vegetable, fish, chicken or veal stock. The stocks can be clear or dark. We obtain dark stocks by first roasting the bones and the vegetables, then simmering them to extract their flavors, aromas and nutrients.
- Brown sauce: Another name for this sauce is Espagnole. This is not a sauce to be used on its own. It is rather the foundation of other more refined sauces such as Demi Glace. An Espagnole sauce is made of slowly sautéed Mirepoix, (celery, carrots and onions), in butter and all purpose flour until they all reach a dark brown color. A rich brown stock is then added and whisked in to create a luscious thick and smooth brown sauce.
- Hollandaise sauce: This sauce is made of egg yolks, clarified butter and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It is an emulsion type sauce that relies on the egg yolks for its liaison and the clarified butter is the liquid. The lemon juice acts as a flavor enhancer and a stabilizer. For this sauce to come together, the lemon juice has to be incorporated into the egg yolks first and beaten until the yolks are tempered, (ready to take on more heat without scrambling). The liquid clarified butter, (pure butter fat without any milk solids or whey helps stabilize the sauce), is then gradually whipped into the yolks until a silky consistency is achieved.
- Tomato sauce: This sauce is also known as red sauce. At its center is the tomato, either as a paste, puree, crushed or fresh form. It is the tomato flesh that constitutes the thickener. The liquid ranges from water to stock and sometimes the fresh tomatoes own juices, which must cook down into a sauce consistency. Red sauces get their flavors from pork fat, ham hocks, and aromatics such as onions, celery, carrots, shallots, dried herbs and garlic. The use of fresh herbs is added just before service to elevate the aromas.
Page 2 of 3 - Today I invite you to journey with me in my kitchen as we explore how easy it is to make these elegant "mother" sauces. To become the Chef and Saucier in your kitchen will set you apart from all the other home cooks as it will broaden your culinary spectrum and make you the hero/heroine of your dinner table.
Recipe yields 5 cups
½-stick butter
4-tablespoons all purpose flour
4-cups whole milk
1-garlic clove finely chopped
¼-teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½-teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt to taste
1. In a medium sauce pan melt the butter, add the flour and cook quickly for about 1 minute. Add the chopped garlic and cook another minute.
2. Slowly start adding the milk. Using a wire whip, whisk vigorously until all the milk is completely absorbed and the sauce is smooth and silky. The flour/butter mixture, (roux), reaches its total thickening potential when it reaches the boiling point.
3. Add the seasonings and taste. Adjust seasoning accordingly to taste. This sauce is perfect with seafood, vegetables and pasta dishes
Recipe yields 2 cups
4-egg yolks
1-tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-cup clarified butter (butter that's gently simmered until all the milk solids and whey completely evaporated)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Set a sauce pan with 1-inch of water over low heat.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and lemon juice and whisk vigorously for about 5 minutes until they double in volume, the air bubbles become small and the color becomes pale yellow.
3. Set the mixing bowl over the sauce pan with the barely simmering water and continue whisking while adding the clarified butter in a slow steady stream until a complete emulsion is achieved. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy over eggs, chicken, vegetables and seafood.
Recipe yields 3 cups
4-cups fresh tomato concassée, (blanched, peeled, seeded and diced)
2-tablespoons slivered fresh garlic
½-cup extra virgin olive oil
½-teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼-cup fresh basil leaves hand torn
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Set a medium sauce pan over high heat for 1 minute.
2. Add the olive oil and slivered garlic and quickly sweat for 1 minute.
3. Add the fresh tomatoes and seasonings and stir to combine.
4. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the tomatoes collapse and become pulp.
5. Add the freshly torn basil leaves. Serve with your choice of pasta or over your favorite omelet.
Page 3 of 3 - From these basic "mother" sauces, you can create limitless "small" sauces. The only factor that will limit you is your imagination. To put things into perspective: If you can make a Béchamel sauce, you can whisk in some gruyère cheese and voilà you just made a Mornay sauce! If you can make Velouté sauce, you can add sautéed shallots, parsley and reduced white wine to it and voilà you just made Bercy sauce! If you can make Espagnole sauce, you can add burgundy wine and brown stock to it and reduce by half and voilà you just made Bordelaise sauce! If you can make Hollandaise sauce, adding a reduction of shallots, white wine vinegar and tarragon before incorporating the clarified butter into it and voilà you will transform it into a Béarnaise sauce! If you can make a Tomato sauce, you can add Béchamel to it and voilà you just made Aurora sauce!
I hope you will try some of these elegant sauces. Your culinary repertoire will be enhanced tenfold!
Bon Appétit!

George Soros enmeshed in bribery scandal
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 11/09/2012 @ 1:09 am In Money,World | No Comments
(FrontPage) Billionaire financier George Soros has enmeshed himself in a growing bribery scandal in the West African country of Guinea. A government committee backed by Soros is investigating Beny Steinmetz Group Resources (BSGR), the mining component of Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz's business empire. The government is probing how BSRG won rights to develop iron ore mining blocks in the Simandou region of the nation. In turn, the company has accused the government of Guinea of seeking to "illegally seize" its assets.

The U.S. General Services Administration announced that a key program for approving shared cloud computing security tools has issued the first approved provisional cloud security authorization to Autonomic Resources LLC.
The authorization comes from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Joint Authorization Board, which is comprised of the chief information officers from GSA and the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
The FedRAMP program was created to provide a mechanism to certify the security of cloud computing applications, taking an "approve-once, share-often" approach, with the goal of helping federal agencies drastically reduce the time it takes to adopt new IT capabilities.
"The FedRAMP provisional authorization process sets a rigorous certification and accreditation bar for cloud service providers. By using FedRAMP and eliminating redundant security assessments, agencies can save an estimated $200,000 per authorization," said Dave McClure, Associate Administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies. "This innovative collaboration with industry will lead to a common and more effective and efficient security authorization process government-wide."
In order to receive this provisional authorization, Autonomic Resources documented and fully implemented the FedRAMP security controls on their cloud services offerings, according to a GSA release. In addition, they had an independent FedRAMP accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) audit these implementations.
The authority means Autonomic Resources' system is provisionally authorized to securely contain federal information at a moderate Federal Information Security Management
Act level of security.
Agencies will be able to review the full provisional authorization package as well as the independent assessment conducted by a FedRAMP-accredited 3PAO for their own agency specific security authorizations.
The JAB is expected to issue additional ATOs in early 2013 and announcements will be made as the authorizations are granted.
Autonomic Resources LLC is a certified 8a small business from Cary, NC, offering Infrastructure as a Service capabilities for federal agencies. Their independent assessment was completed by Veris Group, a FedRAMP accredited 3PAO.

The first thing you'll want to know is, how funny is Ted?
Pretty fuckin' funny, that's how funny Ted is. Especially if you are in tune with director and co-writer Seth MacFarlane's brand of humor, seen in evidence weekly (and in syndication, daily) on TV's Family Guy, The Cleveland Show and American Dad.
John (Mark Wahlberg) is a 30-something car-rental clerk going nowhere, dating a 20-something corporate powerhouse (Mila Kunis) who wishes John were more ambitious about his career and serious about their relationship. John, however, likes to spend way too much time smoking weed and hanging out with his lifelong best friend, Ted.
It's a familiar movie trope: the aging man-child held back by an even more immature pal. In Mo' Better Blues, Spike Lee set it in the world of hipster jazz musicians and made the outcome semi-tragic; in Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg added zombies and turned tragedy into comedy. In Ted, MacFarlane cuts to the heart of the matter by making the friend an actual childhood toy—a stuffed teddy bear brought to life in a "Chirstmas miracle"—and then shamelessly mocks and exploits the accompanying sentimentality by making the bear a filthy-mouthed, pot-smoking terror. It's easy to see how Ted could have been made as a serious, "heartwarming" family flick—and it remains, at heart, a fairy tale. But to use language that MacFarlane would understand, it's like the Toy Story movies, only with balls.
There are many freakin' sweet one-liners, mild and filthy. (In one of his more benign ripostes, a disgusted, job-seeking Ted looks at himself in a cheap suit and says, "I look like Snuggle's lawyer.") And MacFarlane keeps the gags coming, fast and furious; there's a lot to be said for the throw-as-many-jokes-as-possible-at-the-audience school of comedy. They register as well as they do, however, because Wahlberg and Kunis are such terrific straight men—and because everyone else in the movie acccepts a walking, talking teddy bear as perfectly normal, too.
On his various TV shows, MacFarlane's pop-culture references can weigh things down to the point of distraction, but, oddly, they're some of the best parts of Ted. (The wicked Fight Club parody is genius.) Confession time: Though I lived through the 1980s, I have never seen Dino De Laurentiis' crackpot remake of Flash Gordon. Though Ted practically humps that legendary flop, this part of the movie worked for me.
Of course the movie falls apart in the final act, but that's built in to this kind of film. In real life, preserving the status quo leads to misery; in fairy tales, it's required for a happy ending.

Delric Waymon Miller IV
Kadejah Davis, 12, was killed in a shooting at her home, Wednesday, February 1, 2012. / KATHLEEN GALLIGAN/Detroit Free Press
Je'Rean Blake / Family photo
The images are so stark, all those people wearing hoodies in pictures for Trayvon Martin. Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm. The Miami Heat. Random friends and neighbors.
They're all trying to bring badly needed attention to a face-slapping injustice: A white man kills an innocent black teen he unnecessarily feared in an Orlando suburb, and police and prosecutors won't even take the shooter into custody, much less charge him.
I get it. I'm angry, too. And scared for kids like my son, who'll be a teenager soon enough -- and seen as a threat by some people.
But I'm also wondering: What have we done for Delric? Or Kade'jah? Or Je'Rean?
They were black kids, too. They were innocent. And they were killed for stupid, stupid reasons right here in Detroit.
Is it because their killings had nothing to do with racism that their deaths didn't evoke such passion or spark nationwide social media campaigns?
Does combatting racial stereotypes -- which is about fighting one of the black community's external foes -- command an easier mental and emotional response than confronting the demons that exist between and among African Americans?
Let me be clear here: I'm not trying to let anyone off the hook in Sanford, Fla.
It's outrageous that George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, got out of his vehicle when he saw Trayvon walking through his gated Sanford community, confronted the teen and then shot him after a scuffle. That's not any kind of neighborhood watch I've ever heard of -- it's barbarous vigilantism.
But every day in this country, a black teen or child gets gunned down in encounters that are at least as perplexing. It has become so common, it's nauseating. And far more typically, the perpetrators are other African Americans.
Delric Miller IV was a 9-month-old, sleeping on the couch in a home on Detroit's west side, when someone fired 37 rounds from an automatic weapon through the windows and walls, killing him instantly. His grandmother said she believes the attack was retaliation for a fight over chairs at a baby shower.
Twelve-year-old Kade'jah Davis was killed when someone fired shots through the front door of her home, supposedly by a man who had argued with her mother over a cell phone.
And Je'Rean Blake was a 17-year-old standing on a corner on the city's east side, talking to a girl, when a man on a moped took exception to the look on his face. The man returned to the corner with a gun and shot twice into a crowd where Je'Rean was standing, killing him.
These deaths were beyond senseless. And they happen all the time -- in Detroit and in other communities, big and small.
They don't raise the same kinds of questions as Trayvon's killing, questions about how virulent racial stereotypes still are in some quarters, or about how easily authorities brush off cold-blooded murder when a black kid is the victim.
But I think they raise far more serious questions about how we, as African Americans, deal with one another, how we value life and manage disputes, and how far we've allowed our communities to sink into moral chaos.
We've got everyone donning a hoodie to bring justice to Trayvon's case.
But for the most part, when it's just another black kid killed by other black people, the emotions aren't nearly as raw.
There are, of course, bold exceptions. My friend Raphael Johnson, who heads the Detroit 300 neighborhood anti-crime group (which some worry is veering into vigilantism, too), works tirelessly to bring attention to the routine debasing of life in poor, black areas. So do lots of other people.
But they work in relative obscurity compared to the attention being garnered by Trayvon Martin's death. It seems they can't get Americans of any hue as exercised about what they see every day.
Trayvon Martin's family deserves justice, and that justice will mean something huge for a nation that still can't get race relations right.
But when that's done, it's worth asking when the far more common killings of black children will generate as much outrage and deserve as much attention.

Leonsis, the owner of the Washington Capitals, was in New York City Tuesday to promote his new book, "The Business of Happiness." The book is Leonsis' way of explaining to individuals and business leaders "that you have permission to be happy and you should be able to structure things to do things the right way," he told NHL.com.
The timing of the release of his book couldn't be any better. Leonsis' team is his shining example of how a business model can work and in the process make everybody, both inside the organization and outside in the community, happy.
The Capitals are on a rampage through the NHL these days.
Their 14-game winning streak heading into Wednesday's game in Montreal (7:30 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS) is a team record and only three shy of tying the NHL record. The Caps are tops in the NHL with 88 points and just happen to employ arguably the most exciting player in the game in Alex Ovechkin.
"You always see people write a book about how they did something after the fact, but you never read a book about how I think it will work," said Leonsis, who built his empire through his association with AOL in the 1990s and also has branched into the movie-making business.
"It's good that we're playing really, really well," Leonsis said. "I joke by saying if the team stinks and my movies are rotten, the book wouldn't sell. But I think we have proven that we know how to build enterprises and franchises that connect with fans and have a higher calling.
A major part of Leonsis' business model is to keep in mind all of his clients, which is why he prides himself on his ability to "bypass the traditional media" through all of his multi-media habits.
He's the most accessible owner in the NHL to the fans because he communicates. He chats with the fans through his own blog, "Ted's Take," and via Facebook and Twitter. He also attends every game, where he engages in conversations and debates with the fans by walking around the concourses.
"I just grew up in this interactive world, so it's second nature to me," said Leonsis, who retired from AOL in 2006 and still serves as its chairman emeritus. "I have no more filter. People have a direct relationship with me and the team and that's a very, very powerful marketing tool."
As a professional, Leonsis is a die-hard businessman. At his core, he's a community leader. He wants nothing more than to see his team flourish because that means the community is, well, happy.
"The District" is all but flipping upside down these days with the Capitals' success. Television ratings have never been better and every game at Verizon Center is sold out. The building is always jumping thanks to the "Rock the Red" campaign.
"What I'm most proud of is we have built a team regardless of the sport that the casual fan has become attracted to," he said. "There has always been, in D.C., I would say 25,000 to 30,000 people that you can count on to come to all the games and watch on television, but I'm used to really, really big scalable businesses. I want millions of people, so now I think we are becoming part of the popular culture."
Leonsis, though, is very much like a fan when it comes to the business conducted in the hockey operations department. He steers clear and lets GM George McPhee, coach Bruce Boudreau and the staff of scouts do what they do best.
"The day I get involved in personnel decisions, I have to fire those guys, which means I don't believe and trust them," Leonsis said. "What I do is say, 'Here are the outcomes we want, here's how we want to do it, here's the culture we want and the vision and the resources.' But, the individual tactics, they do."
For instance, when the Caps' traded former captain Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina to Columbus for Jason Chimera on Dec. 28, Leonsis learned like everyone else.
He read about it and then came up with his own analysis.
"That's what I wanted to do, build a generationally great team. I don't think I would be exhibiting hubris by saying we're going to make the playoffs this year. That's our third year probably winning the division, and our best players are our young players. We have executed on our plan. We have stayed with it ... and it's thrilling to see it turning out the way it's turning out."
-- Ted Leonsis
"There is an example of the general manager doing something and he didn't ask for my approval or blessing, he just did it."
The Capitals are thriving since the trade, and the business of happiness has never been better. Chin up and chest out, Leonsis is beaming these days because his business model is working.
"That's what I wanted to do, build a generationally great team," Leonsis said. "I don't think I would be exhibiting hubris by saying we're going to make the playoffs this year. That's our third year probably winning the division, and our best players are our young players. We have executed on our plan. We have stayed with it ... and it's thrilling to see it turning out the way it's turning out.
"Now, we have to win a Cup."

Why site search?
When users want to find information on your website, they first look for a search box. Failing that, they head back to Google – potentially finding a competing site and taking their business elsewhere, or simply becoming frustrated with your service. But implementing effective search doesn't have to be hard. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to build a basic site-specific web search in just five lines of code, using the Yahoo! APIs.
Today's websites have a lot of content. Wikipedia, for example, can compress absolutely all its content into one 6.4 GB archive. And that's before it decompresses to up to 20 times that. Needless to say, effectively searching all that data can be a real challenge, and chances are at the end of the day you'll still be stuck with a slow and ineffective search system. Your users will resort to using Google or Yahoo to search for your content. Unless you have an experienced user base that will use the
site: parameter, however, chances are they'll end up on a site other than your own.
Well, at least they got their search results quickly, some might think. But it doesn't have to be that way. With many of te popular web search providers offering APIs, you can quickly use the power of their engines and the quality of their indexes to give your users high quality search any way you want it. Forget Google's "customised site search" box, where you send the user to Google with nothing but a few site parameters. Using APIs, you can do whatever you want. Search only for registered users? Sure. Showing an actual image from the page next to a lesult? You got it. AJAX result loading? Absolutely. Anything to get a real, effective site search to your users.
A brief crash course on search APIs
In this tutorial, we're going to build a site search system for a website using the Yahoo search web services. The web services provided by Yahoo are essentially web-based machine-readable interfaces to Yahoo's various products. There are quite a few web services made available; head over to developer.yahoo.com for a full list (scroll down to "Services" in the sidebar).
Let's get RESTful
The web search API, or application programming interface, falls into the category of RESTful web services – that is, it's an API delivered over the web that uses the REST protocol. As far as you're concerned, REST, or REpresentational State Transfer, just involves HTTP and URLs (URIs, actually) – technologies and concepts you will be familiar with. To demonstrate, here's a sample URL to access to the search web service:
A couple of things to note here. First, it's a perfectly normal URL: you can load it up in your web browser and see the XML returned. Second, there's clearly a
query parameter in the URL that we can change. Here's a sample of what the results might look like:
<ResultSet> <Result> <Title>Madonna</Title>  Official site of pop diva Madonna, with news, music, media, and fan club.  <Url>http://www.madonna.com/</Url> <DisplayUrl>www.madonna.com/</DisplayUrl> <ModificationDate>1206428400</ModificationDate> <MimeType>text/html</MimeType> <Cache><Size>18519</Size></Cache> </Result> </ResultSet>
I've removed a fair bit of information, but this is enough to demonstrate how the information is provided. If you load up a Yahoo search page and search for "madonna", you'll get the same result. Now, this is entirely machine readable – it's XML – but we can go one step further. If we add another parameter to the URL,
output, and give it a value of
php, we get the following:
s:73:"Official site of pop diva Madonna, with news, music, media, and fan club.";s:3:"Url";s:23:"http://www.madonna.com/";s:10:"DisplayUrl";
Doesn't look like much? Run it through the PHP
unserialize() function, and then
[ResultSet] => Array ( [Result] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Title] => Madonna [Summary] => Official site of pop diva Madonna, with news, music, media, and fan club. [Url] => http://www.madonna.com/ [DisplayUrl] => www.madonna.com/ [ModificationDate] => 1206428400 [MimeType] => text/html [Cache] => Array ( [Size] => 18519 ) ) ) )
Now that looks easy to work with. But how did we get to this stage? Well, as the APIs are accessed via a simple URL, we can first fetch the data using
file_get_contents(). Now, this will give us the mess of characters we saw earlier. We then run it through
unserialize() and finally
print_r(). Here's the code:
<?php $data = file_get_contents('http://search.yahooapis.com/'. 'WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?'. 'appid=YahooDemo&query=madonna'. '&results=1&output=php'); echo '
'.print_r(unserialize($data),true);
Go ahead, run it on your web server. You'll see roughly the sample above, plus a few extra elements.
Building a real site search system
Now, I've added a
results=1 to our previous example, to cut down on data here, but let's take that out (it will default to 10) and do something real. Ignoring my multi-line
file_get_contents() URL, we can build a functional web search in just five lines of code. You can experiment with that array (go ahead, a
foreach works fine), but here's how I did it:
<?php $data = file_get_contents('http://search.yahooapis.com/'. 'WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?'. 'appid=YahooDemo&query=madonna'. '&output=php'); $results = unserialize($data); foreach ($results['ResultSet']['Result'] as $result) { echo "
{$result['Title']}
n"; echo "
{$result['Summary']}
n"; }
Load it up in your web browser or run it via CLI. Provided PHP can connect to the Yahoo API server, you'll see something like the following:

Madonna

Official site of pop diva Madonna, with news, music, media, and fan club.

madonnalicious

Pictures, articles, downloads, concert info, news, and more about Madonna.

MySpace.com - Madonna - Pop / Rock - www.myspace.com/madonna

Madonna MySpace page with news, blog, music downloads, desktops, wallpapers, and more.

But wait – we're building a specific site search here, and chances are you aren't terribly interested in Madonna. The web service has yet another parameter up its sleeve:
site (unsurprisingly). Let's say I was building a site search for engadget.com, and I needed to give users a way to actually choose what to search for. First, we set the
site parameter to engadget.com, and then we set the actual query to a user supplied value. We'll use a simple form for the user to enter their search query, and then pass it to the Yahoo APIs from $_GET. Here's what I came up with:
<form action="" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q" /><input type="submit" /> </form> <?php if (isset($_GET['q'])) { $q = $_GET['q']; $data = file_get_contents('http://search.yahooapis.com/'. 'WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?'. 'appid=YahooDemo&query='.$q. '&output=php&site=engadget.com'); $results = unserialize($data); foreach ($results['ResultSet']['Result'] as $result) { echo "
{$result['Title']}
n"; echo "
{$result['Summary']}
n"; } }
One more thing to note here – ClickUrl. If you noticed the output of the array we unserialized earlier, you would have seen the 'ClickUrl' parameter. It's rather long, and not terribly interesting, so I've left it out of the demonstrations, but when sending a user to a link you fetch from the Yahoo services, you should be using the ClickUrl parameter and not just Url. By using ClickUrl, the great folks at Yahoo can analyse how to improve their engine to improve the quality of their search service – which is good for everyone. When you send a user to the ClickUrl, it is hosted at Yahoo but it will send the user right back to the normal Url.
Anyway, this is not the most elegant solution, but probably one of the simplest. Load it up in your web browser and search for 'iphone', your form and first result will look something like this:
The Apple iPhone – Engadget
… history — and that's saying a lot — the iPhone has been announced today. … partnership with Yahoo will allow all iPhone customers to hook up with free push …
Compare that to searching for iphone site:engadget.com in a normal Yahoo search page:
Essentially, Yahoo just gave you the full power of their search system.
A note on application IDs
You might have noticed the
appid parameter in our calls to the Yahoo web service. This parameter represents the application ID, and allows Yahoo to identify your application from everyone else's. While just testing, it's okay to use the 'YahooDemo' application ID, but when you go to build a real application you should register it with Yahoo.
If something goes wrong with your application, they may need to shut it down entirely and cut off your access to the APIs. By registering with Yahoo, you provide them with some basic contact details and details of your application. If they see something wrong with queries coming from your application, they can then easily work out that you are in charge of the application, and contact you before taking any actions that might break your code.
Building a real site search system
So, we've built a simple site search system with a form and a raw call to the web services. However, we have no validation, and our results aren't exactly pretty. We also want the user to be able to search from elsewhere in our site, without having to go to a special search page.
First, let's tackle the search system. We need to:
- Make it easy to configure which site we want to search (i.e. ours)
- Validate that the user actually entered something
- Make sure no errors were encountered in the web search call
- Return more than 10 results
The first will be easy – we just add a configuration variable.
The second is also fairly simple: where we used
isset($_GET['q']), we can add
AND !empty($_GET['q']), which will make sure that not only did the user submit the form, they also entered something into the search box.
The third, however, is a little tricky – Yahoo's standard error system doesn't really work for PHP output. Instead, it just gives us the text "Array", which not only will fail in unserialize(), but is also rather unhelpful when working out what went wrong. The services do provide HTTP error codes in the headers – such as 403 for forbidden – but working with these with only file_get_contents isn't an option. The simplest way to get around this would be to suppress errors, and then check that a single item in the result set actually exists – we can use
isset() on item 0.
Finally, to return more than 10 results, we simply add back the results parameter I mentioned earlier. This simply states how many results to return. The service also has a system for paging through results to find what the user is looking for, but unless you have thousands of pages you probably won't want to use this. Let's stick to 20 results, which should be more than enough for most sites.
Incorporating these modifications, here's the code (changes in bold):
<form action="" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q" /><input type="submit" /> </form> <?php $site = 'engadget.com'; if (isset($_GET['q']) AND !empty($_GET['q'])) { $q = $_GET['q']; $data = file_get_contents('http://search.yahooapis.com/'. 'WebSearchService/V1/webSearch'. '?appid=YahooDemo&query='.$q. '&output=php&site='.$site. '&results=20'); $results = @unserialize($data); // @ = suppress errors if (isset($results['ResultSet']['Result'][0])) { foreach ($results['ResultSet']['Result'] as $result) { echo "
{$result['Title']}
n"; echo "
{$result['Summary']}
n"; } } else { echo "
No results were found.
"; } }
Save it as search.php and load it up in your web browser. Try searching for nothing; the script will simply show you the search box. Try searching for some random collection of characters – I chose 'dkrkwrialkc' – it should tell you that no results were found. Now, we just need to make it a little more flexible.
Search from far and wide
When your users want to search, they won't look around your page for the link to a search page – they'll look for a search box outright, and they want to see one. Just about every major online portal has a search box on every page to help the user find their way around the site. We need to do the same.
Luckily, our search system is extendible out of the box. It doesn't check where the search is coming from, it just searches, so we can send the user to the search page from anywhere. And the best way to do that is to simply copy and paste the form. This HTML at the top of the script is the key:
<form action="" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q" /><input type="submit" /> </form>
action property is the vital element. Wherever we put the script, we simply make sure the
action property points to the location of
search.php. For example, if I put
search.php in the root of my website – i.e. accessible at
http://mydomain.com/search.php – I can set
action to
/search.php and copy the form to any page under
mydomain.com. If that isn't an option, consider using mod_rewrite to make search.php in your root point to the right location, as this is the easiest option by far for the
action property.
Once that's taken care of, copy and paste the HTML for your form anywhere into your site. The top of a sidebar is a good choice, but so is somewhere in your header, or in a seperate section between your header and main content. As long as it's "above the fold", or visible without scrolling, your users will make liberal use of the feature to navigate your site.
Further reading
Now that you've built your site search system, have a thorough read through the search web service specification and experiment with the data it gives you. Maybe you want to add pagination, or use the number of results returned to see if you need to suggest a different search query to the user.
You definitely want to look into caching, to improve the performance of your search system and ease the load on Yahoo's API servers. Head to Yahoo's PHP Developer Center, where Rasmus Lerdorf himself provides some code samples for best practices.
If you're interested in exploring the Yahoo APIs, the Yahoo Developer Network should be your first point of call, where you'll find all the web service APIs thoroughly documented, as well as SDKs to help you learn how to work with the services.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein wants us to know that she is "not a sixth-grader."
Anyone who saw the recent exchange before the Senate Judiciary Committee between Feinstein and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas over guns and the Constitution might speculate that the reason she said this is because she couldn't pass the entrance exam.
As for Cruz, a friend of mine for a decade, it turns out that the most important of the Senate rules is unwritten: Thou shalt not embarrass a fellow senator — even one in the opposing party — by making him or her look unprepared, uneducated or uninformed.
That's not always an easy thing to avoid. The rulebook doesn't say what to do when a Senate colleague who wants to ban certain guns dodges a tough question and then goes on the attack — thus embarrassing herself.
Nevertheless, the 42-year-old Cruz — who, as Sarah Palin told Conservative Political Action Conference delegates, "chews barbed wire" and "spits out rust" — is headed to the principal's office. His infraction was asking the right question. What Cruz wanted to know was this: Why do liberals cherish the First and Fourth Amendments, but trash the one in between — the Second Amendment?
That's a brainteaser. Why does the left play favorites with different parts of the Bill of Rights?
Experience teaches that the better the question, the less likely you are to get a straight answer.
That's what happened here. Feinstein went on offense. Abandoning reason for emotion, she scolded Cruz for daring to "lecture" her. After all, she said, she had seen the bodies of people killed by gunfire.
She was referring to the assassinations of San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone in 1978. Feinstein was in San Francisco City Hall when the shootings occurred.
Feinstein obviously feels very passionate about limiting people's access to guns. But who says she gets to decide who gets to own a gun or how many stay on the market?

As you suspect, treating multiple tears in a single earlobe is more complicated than repairing a singly-torn earlobe. Depending on the exact conformation of torn tissue, this may require 1-3 surgical steps, each spaced a month or so apart at a minimum, to achieve the most normal looking result.
Costs will vary depending on complexity and surgeon's experience; $750-$1500 might be a reasonable range with an experienced facial plastic surgeon.

By C. Trent Rosecrans
Edinson Volquez, the Reds' opening day starter, is now a Louisville Bat. The Reds optioned Volquez and reliever Jordan Smith to Triple-A Louisville before Monday's game with the Phillies.
Volquez gave up seven runs (six earned) in 2 2/3 innings and has struggled mightily in the first inning this year, allowing 21 first-inning runs in 11 starts. Overall, he's 3-2 with a 6.35 ERA and a 4.16 xFIP, suggesting he's been better than he's pitched. In 51 innings, he's recorded 53 strikeouts but also 38 walks to go along with his 47 hits. He's also given up nine homers, including one to Asdrubal Cabrera on Sunday.
However, his greater sin may have been with his mouth, not his right arm. After the Reds' 12-4 loss to the Indians, Volquez called out the team's offense, which is second in the National League in runs scored.
"Everybody has to step up, score some runs," Volquez told reporters after the game. "In the last five games, how many runs have we scored? Like 13? That's not the way we were playing last year. We're better than that."
It was actually 12 runs in the last five games, which saw the Reds go 1-4, including four straight losses. But Volquez, who hasn't pitched more than six innings this season, is hardly the one to talk about a lack of run support. The Reds have scored 53 runs in his 11 starts -- nearly five an outing -- and the offense is why he has a winning record. The Reds have trailed in each of his 11 starts, with the offense picking him up to win six of those games.
The Reds acquired Volquez (along with left-handed reliever Daniel Ray Herrera) after the 2007 season from the Rangers in exchange for Josh Hamilton. With the Rangers, Volquez was seen as something of a problem child, being sent down from the majors to Class A Bakersfield to work his way back to the big leagues. However, he responded well and made his way back, before the Rangers traded him for the future MVP.
As well as Hamilton played with the Rangers, there was early debate over which side got the better of the deal as Volquez made the All Star team in his first season with the Reds, going 7-1 with a 1.33 ERA in his first nine starts in Cincinnati. He finished the season 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA but struggled in 2009 before undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Last season he served a 50-game suspension for use of performance-enhancing drugs but didn't miss any time because he was able to serve his suspension during his rehab, making his debut on July 17. Voqluez finished the season with mixed results, going 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA. He started Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Phillies but was knocked out after 1 2/3 innings while his opposite, Roy Halladay, pitched a no-hitter.
It will be interesting to see if Volquez gets the message again this time, or if he goes off and blames someone else (again). The Reds' brass will certainly be watching how he reacts in Louisville, but it should be noted that Volquez is being placed into the hands of some of the Reds' most trusted employees: Louisville manager Rick Sweet and pitching coach Ted Power. Both are well-respected by the team and well liked by most everyone, including players. If Sweet and Power can't handle Volquez and his talented arm, the Reds may have a bigger problem on their hands.
Volquez has always had ace-like stuff, but his head has often gotten in the way of him breaking through to become a real No. 1.
While the Reds' have certainly been on the losing end of the trade with the Rangers, they may have gotten lucky with Volquez this offseason. Volquez was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, and the team offered him a deal to buy out the rest of his arbitration years. Instead, he signed a one-year deal worth $1.625 million and gambled that he'd have a good year and get a better deal from Cincinnati later on. Right now, it appears that won't be coming anytime soon, and the Reds may have saved themselves some money.
Coming up is Maloney, who will likely replace him in the rotation. Maloney appeared in five games for the Reds this year, making one start, lasting just two innings while giving up eight hits and three runs in two innings against the Cardinals -- although that was hardly a regular start. Maloney was the starter of record, even though Volquez warmed up and was the scheduled starter. After a two-hour rain delay, Volquez was scratched before he threw a pitch, and Maloney was the starter of record. Last season, Maloney was 0-2 with a 3.09 ERA in two starts and 2-2 with a 3.05 ERA overall.

Frazier was the team's top prospect in 2010 before it signed Aroldis Chapman, but he struggled last season and saw his ranking drop. He can play all over the infield and has also played the outfield. He's hitting .293/.366/.579 with 11 homers at Louisville.

Cedar Hill runner Mollenkopf using Luke's Lockers' meets to tune up for Portland Track Festival
Cedar Hill's Ingrid Mollenkopf, a 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier, is looking forward to the start of the Luke's Locker's All Comers Track meets, which begin Tuesday.
For Mollenkopf, the weekly grass roots events offer a laid-back setting to test her conditioning.
"It's really fun," said Mollenkopf, 25, a former UNT standout, who graduated in 2012. "It's not over-competitive like at a normal track meet. There are people of all ages, and everyone is cheering each other on."
The 31st Dallas meets will be held on Tuesday evenings at the Greenhill School through June 24. The first event begins each week at 6:15 p.m.
The 16th Fort Worth All Comers Track Meets at TCU begin Thursday and continue through June 26. Austin also plays hosts to All Comers Meets, which begin May 30 and continue through June 27.
Distance events vary each week and include run and walk options. For more information, visit Lukeslocker.com.
Mollenkopf will use the first few meets as tune-ups for the June 15th Portland Track Festival. She'll be racing in a 5,000-meter heat comprised of High Performance qualifiers.
She hopes to run under 15 minutes, 26 seconds there to qualify for the USATF Outdoor Championships in Sacramento on June 27. Her personal best in the 5K is 16:35, set last year.
"Ingrid is making big strides," said her coach, Robert Vaughan, who coached five-time Olympian Francie Larrieu Smith for a number of years. "Every year, she continues to improve."
Vaughan first met Mollenkopf, when she walked on to his UNT cross country/track team as a sophomore. She had limited running experience but quickly became the team's top women's runner.
Mollenkopf accomplished her goal of qualifying for the Olympic Trials in the marathon last fall. She clocked 1:13:04 at a Philadelphia half marathon in November. The USATF offers a B Standard for running a sub 1:15:00 half marathon for women.
She has not run a full marathon but said she hopes to do so in the fall of 2015.
Mollenkopf earned the 10K Olympic Trials B Standard by winning her heat at last month's Stanford Relays in 33 minutes, 35 seconds. Her goal is to earn the A Standard, 32:45, over the next two years.
"I need to be in a race where it is competitive," she said, explaining that she didn't have the credentials to be placed in the fastest heat at Stanford this year.
She said Vaughan plans to have her race the 3,000- and 1,500-meter distances at the upcoming Luke's meets in preparation for Portland.
"They're co-ed," she said of the All Comer meets. "I'll be racing against high school boys, who are closer to my speed. That makes it fun. They don't want to get beaten."
Dallas to play host to 2016 RRCA Convention
The Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) picked Dallas as the venue for its 2016 national convention. The Crowne Plaza Downtown Dallas will serve as the host hotel for the March 3-6, 2016 event. The hotel is near the starting line of the Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half, which will be the convention's partner race.
The Jogger 5K Summer Series begins Wednesday at Bachman Lake's White Stone Pavilion A, 3400 West Northwest Highway, in Dallas. The 13-week series will continue through Aug. 20. There are not races on May 21 or July 2 … Saturday's Komen Greater Fort Worth Race for the Cure has settled on Mother's Day weekend in future years. Officials reversed the 2013 course this year in response to concerns about the Green Oaks Boulevard hill … The Texas 10 Series, seven statewide races geared to age group runners, makes its North Texas debut on Saturday at the Northwest Plano Park and Ride, 6830 Communications Parkway, in Plano.

Udhe has heart but not much of a chin. He was doomed to be ko'd as soon as he signed to fight. he would do better if he didn't try and exchange too much, but maintained his movement. Fernandez looked like a killer backstage, only to be unable execute once he got into the ring. I found out he only had a weeks notice for the fight, and didn't do any sparring, and it showed. Ramos looked good in the fight, and Mendez (a mma fighter turned boxer) couldn't compete with a disiplined boxer. Ramos Took a good left hook in the first rd that shook him a little but he stayed composed and on course for his thrid rd tko. I knew Rojas would beat Serrano. Don't ask me why, but I swear I could see it in the body language. I think Flores might have been un nerved by Fernandez,s hand pad workout before his fight. Fernandez looked like the hardest puncher of the night backstage, and his movement was tight. Flores had a good skill set and power, but couldn't seem to "up the anti" enough against Pineda. Pineda looks tough!Posted August 21, 2012 10:23 pm
Ptown kid
I was at these fights last night a good overall card of young club fighters. The ref messed up big on the Leon vs Uhde fight. Moments befote the ko Leon was tagged and stumbled causing his glove to hit the mat. I'd like to see the ref call the knock down at that point but instead let them keep fighting then a moment later Leon scored with a lucky haymaker for the ko. Bad calls that cost fights shouldn't be tolerated imo.Posted August 20, 2012 4:40 am
