Article: Could a high resectability rate improve the long-term survival of patients with proximal bile duct cancer?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate if high resectability rate could improve the long-term outcome of patients with proximal bile duct cancer. Between 1985 and 2001, 50 patients (34 male and 16 female) with proximal bile duct cancer were treated. Thirty-six patients (72%) were considered suitable for surgery, while 14 underwent nonsurgical palliative procedures. Twenty patients had bile duct resection only. Ten patients had Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy with two or three divided segmental hepatic ducts; in 10 patients, the cholangiojejunostomy was performed with four or five divided segmental hepatic ducts. Three patients were treated by palliative transtumoral intubation with Kehr tube. Thirteen patients had bile duct resection plus hepatectomy. Despite the curative intention of the operation, only in 19 (52.7%) patients did the histopathological examination reveal tumor-free margins. There was no operative mortality. Postoperative morbidity was 25%. Overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival of the entire surgical group was 61%, 22.5%, and 9%, respectively. In the 19 patients treated with curative intent the survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 63.1%, 31.5%, and 15.8%, respectively, while in the group that had palliative treatment it was 45%, 15%, and 0%, respectively. Only margins free from tumor can guarantee an improvement in long-term outcome. Increasing resectability improves survival and could offer a chance of better long-term survival.

ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis of cystic neoformations in the pancreas is challenging. We report a case of a true solitary cyst of the pancreas in a 26-year old woman. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography showed a unilocular neoformation in the head of the pancreas, without obstruction of Wirsung's duct. We excised the cyst and performed Roux-en-Y loop pancreaticojejunostomy, but the patient suffered recurrent acute pancreatitis from Wirsung's duct stenosis. Thus, a new Roux-en-Y loop pancreaticojejunostomy was successfully done 6 months later. Histologically, the cyst was lined by cuboidal epithelium, immunohistochemically positive to anti-carbohydrate antigen 19-9 antibodies. To our knowledge, only 11 cases of solitary true cyst of the pancreas in adults have been reported, so the characteristics of this unusual entity are not well known. We propose a scheme for the differential diagnosis of cystic neoformations of the pancreas, starting from the histopathological definition of a true solitary cyst.

ABSTRACT: Psoas abscess is a rare complication of Crohn's disease. We evaluated the incidence of psoas abscess on 312 patients with Crohn's disease, seen at our institution between 1992-2001. We encountered three cases of psoas abscess (0.9%). One patient was managed with ileocolic resection and immediate anastomosis, while in two patients a percutaneous drainage was first performed and then, after 12 days of total parenteral nutrition, a resection of the diseased bowel with immediate reconstruction was carried out. A correction of the nutritional deficiencies is mandatory. Percutaneous computed-tomography guided drainage of the abscess with intestinal resection with immediate anastomosis, performed after a parenteral hyperalimentation, should be the method of choice in the management of such patients.

ABSTRACT: We present our clinical experience in the management of rare surgical complications in Crohn's disease. Two hundred and eight patients affected by Crohn's disease were treated surgically between January 1992 and September 2001, at the Department of Surgical and Gastroenterological Sciences of the University of Padua. Rare surgical complications were identified in 17 patients (6.2%): 4 with small intestine adenocarcinoma, 5 with massive gastrointestinal bleeding, 5 with free peritoneal perforation and 3 with psoas abscesses. The very substantial clinical variability of Crohn's disease is a constant challenge to researchers. In particular, the high incidence of associated pathologies and complications related to Crohn's disease makes this pathology extremely disabling. In addition, this disease quite often appears to occur together with a rare complication which, though in most cases its course tends to remain unknown, at times may be potentially life-threatening. For this reason, it is crucial to suspect the occurrence of these pathologies, especially in patients responding poorly to therapy or in those whose symptoms suddenly become acute. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore fundamental for the most appropriate treatment to be administered.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate if a high resectability rate could improve the long-term outcome of patients with proximal bile duct cancer. Between 1985 and 2001, 50 patients (34 males and 16 females) with proximal bile duct cancer were treated. The tumor site were classified according to Bismuth-Corlette's classification: 9 lesions (18%) were Bismuth type I, 23 lesions (46%) type II, 12 lesions (24%) Type IIIa, 5 lesions (10%) type IIIb and only 1 resected tumor (2%) was type IV. Thirty-six patients (72%) were considered suitable for surgery, while 14 underwent non surgical palliative procedures. Twenty patients had bile duct resection only. Ten patients had Roux-enY cholangiojejunostomy with two or three divided segmental hepatic ducts; in ten, the cholangiojejunostomy was performed with 4 or 5 divided segmental hepatic ducts. Thirteen patients had bile duct resection plus hepatectomy. Despite the curative intention of the operation, only in 19 (52.7%) patients did the histopathological examination reveal tumor-free margins. There was no operative mortality. Overall 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival of the entire surgical group was 61%, 22.5% and 9% respectively. In the 19 patients treated with curative intent the survival at 1,3, and 5 years was 66%, 30% and 15%, respectively, while in the palliative group it was 45%, 15% and 0%, respectively. Only margins free from tumor may guarantee an improvement in long-term outcome. Increasing resectability improves survival and could offer a chance of better 5-year survival.

ABSTRACT: The authors present their experience in the laparoscopic management of hepatic cysts and polycystic liver disease (PLD). Between January 1996 and January 2002, 16 patients underwent laparoscopic liver surgery. Indications were solitary giant cysts (n = 10) and PLD (n = 6). Data were collected retrospectively. Laparoscopic fenestration was completed in 15 patients. Median operative time was 80 min. There was no deaths. Complications occurred in four patients: one patient with a solitary liver cyst experienced diarrhea, while a pleural effusion, a bleeding from the trocar-insertion site, and ascites occurred in three patients with PLD. Median follow-up was 34 months. There was one asymptomatic recurrence (11%) in one patient with a solitary cyst. Two patients with PLD had a symptomatic recurrence of a liver cyst. Laparoscopic fenestration could be the preferred treatment of solitary liver cysts and PLD. Adequate selection of patients and type of cystic liver together with a meticulous surgical technique are recommended.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic options for blunt hepatic trauma include both non-operative and operative management. We have reviewed our experience of the management of blunt hepatic trauma, from non-operative to liver transplantation. A total of 72 patients with blunt hepatic injury observed at the first surgical unit of Padua in a 3-year period (1998-2000) were analysed; we also included a patient who had a liver transplant in 1993 for severe liver trauma. Twenty-nine patients (39.7%) were treated conservatively, with a 93% success rate; 60.3% were treated surgically. Suture hepatorraphy was the most common procedure performed (52.3%). Advantages of non-operative management in our experience were the reduced need for transfusion (1.1U versus 4.3U) with 92% of patients not needing transfusion, and a reduced stay in the intensive care unit; there was no liver-related mortality. The overall morbidity in surgical patients was 30%, with 16% liver-related complications. Twelve surgical patients (27.2%) died, with a liver-related mortality of 18.2%. A large number of patients may present with an associated endo-abdominal injury, even in low-grade liver trauma, requiring rapid laparotomy. In high-grade hepatic trauma, the evolution toward liver failure is an indication for liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is rare in Crohn's disease. We characterized the clinical features and course of such hemorrhage in patients seen at our institution from 1992 to 2000. Five patients had gastrointestinal bleeding during Crohn's disease. All patients had a known Crohn's disease, with a mean duration of the disease of 6 years. The source of bleeding was identified in four patients (80%). Endoscopy was, in all patients, the first diagnostic procedure. An Hartmann total colectomy with closure of the rectal stump and ileostomy was performed in three patients, while two patients with ileal massive bleeding were treated conservatively. One patient had a recurrence of bleeding from the small bowel one week later but he didn't required surgical treatment. One patient with pancolic Crohn's disease died on 10th postoperative day because of multiorgan failure and septic complications. Gastrointestinal bleeding is rare in Crohn's disease, with a predilection for site of involvement. The preoperative diagnosis of the site of bleeding is not easy, and enteroscopy should be mandatory in such patients. Surgery is required for half of cases and recurrent haemorrhage should be an appropriate indication for surgery.
Article: Giant splenic epithelial cyst with elevated serum markers CEA and CA 19-9 levels: An incidental association?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: True spleen cysts are uncommon and rarely associated with elevated serum and intracystic tumor markers CA 19-9 and CEA levels. A 19-year-old woman with a left subcostal mass was observed. Echinococcus granulosus serology was negative, and serum tumor markers CA 19-9 and CEA levels were 273 kU/L and 33 ng/mL, respectively. CT-scanning showed a splenic cyst of 18 cm in greatest diameter. The patient underwent total laparoscopic splenectomy and the serum tumor markers progressively decreased and became normal three months after surgery. Splenic cysts derive from an invagination of the splenic capsule in the splenic pulp with a subsequent squamous metaplasia. This last evidence could be confirmed from the variable cellular differentiation lines of the mesothelial squamous cells in the cyst wall. We should not exclude a higher degenerative potential of cystic epithelium that produces de-differentiation proteins. The lowering of the serum levels of the two markers after the cyst removal is witness of the direct relationship between the increment of the serum tumor markers and the presence of the epidermoid cyst.

E3 2012: Ubisoft and Sony
By Gamer_152 1 Comments
I must admit, I was a little disappointed by the lack of Mr. Caffeine this year, but I was rather happy to see the appearance of Tobuscus. He had that vague sense of comedy terribleness that Mr. Caffeine brought and continued Ubisoft's fantastically baffling tradition of injecting slightly-off comedy performances into their press conferences every year. In fact considering this was an Ubisoft affair I thought Aisha Tyler got away relatively unscathed; a little manufactured interest here, a comment about "girl wood" there, but apart from that not too bad.
Much like with EA though, my expectations were not through the roof here, so when the whole thing started with a Flo Rida performance promoting Just Dance 4 it wasn't terribly surprising for me. Fortunately, from then on things started really looking up. In Far Cry 3 the gameplay looked solid, I was intrigued by the whole "insanity" theme, and the world it was set in was irresistibly vibrant. Visually, it might be the most striking game of E3 and it's always good to see a modern FPS with a splash of colour.
The new Rayman was also a very picturesque game, and I wasn't expecting the whole rhythm-platforming section, I thought that looked really good. It's cool to see big companies doing some original and really fun-looking things with platformers in this day and age, and that looks like one of the few real gems we've seen on Wii U from the conference.
Assassin's Creed III certainly stood up as a very strong game and after what has seemed like a slightly depressing attempt to squeeze what they could out of the franchise post-AC2, it's encouraging to see Ubisoft releasing another Assassin's Creed which is up to the standard we've come to expect from the series. In particular I liked the way the change from cities to a more rural area altered not only the environment the player explores, but also the way the player interacts with the environment. Good stuff.
However, then came perhaps the oddest part of the conference; a professional ShootMania match which was apparently entirely staged, and in fact consisted of footage from a tournament held before the show. The act of trying to force an e-sport seemed a bit dislikeable to begin with, but add in the weird "battle of the sexes" element, the whole female team being dressed in hotpants, and then Ubisoft trying to deceive the crowd into thinking they're seeing something they're not, and it all created a rather unpleasant air. As for the game itself, I can't say it looked particularly appealing. Even considering it was an alpha build there's a certain standard of presentation that I don't feel it met and it neither looked like a shooter from 2012, nor seemed to trump retro shooters in any particular way either. Still, tell us we can have our own custom playlists on servers and they might have something.
Finally, Watch Dogs was of course the game that really blew everyone away. I think some people have been a little quick to guarantee it a complete success, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the game, like how much freedom we'll have in the way we can tackle missions, but from what they showed it has the potential to be something fantastic. It touches on an interesting real-world issue, it shows a new but empowering way to tackle challenges, and it looks very sleek. I can't wait to see more of it.
So this may be a little off-topic but this seems as good a time as any to talk about the audiences at E3's press conferences. I know it's something the Giant Bomb staff touched on in one of their videos, but since basically the start of E3 it's been confusing me, it is my E3 mystery if you will. How are there so many people in the crowds excited for Internet Explorer and Bing, and swaying along to Usher? In the case of Sony specifically there were people in the audience who were not journalists or part of the industry, but got in because they lined up early for the conference, and I had heard some people there won contests to get in, but in the other conferences were there really that many Microsoft or Ubisoft or EA employees in the crowd to generate that kind of buzz? If there were that's kind of strange, and if there weren't then as Alex put it, who are these people? Regardless though, the level of excitement for brutal and merciless pain being inflicted on characters was a bit over the top even by video game standards. Crowds are strange.
Getting back to the conference, Sony's included a little more talking and a little less demoing than I would have preferred, but as with the other companies this year, among their line-up were some very promising games. They got things started commendably with Beyond: Two Souls, and while it's still not entirely clear what Beyond is as a game, I can't help but have a certain admiration for what Cage is doing. Cinematically the game is definitely breaking boundaries.
I'm still not quite sure what to make of Playstation All-Stars. For all the talk that these kind of games seem to inspire about how all games copy from other games, I can't help but feel that here Sony is copying way more than is the norm. What's more, I don't feel like the characters Sony are presenting fit together in one game as well as Nintendo's characters and I just can't conjure up the same attachment for characters like Kratos or Fat Princess as I can for Mario or Link, but then I guess I've never been much of a Sony gamer. While the crazy on-screen action could also be one of the game's greatest strengths, I felt like it held back the demo a little. Even with a commentator it was hard to keep track of the game, but none the less it looks like a well-crafted game that could pay homage to some great titles for those particularly into the PS3.
I thought Assassin's Creed: Liberation looked pretty cool, and showed off the hardware capabilities of the Vita well. In Assassin's Creed III's second showing, the visuals still looked great and I must admit I am a sucker for old-timey ships, I just hope they don't steer too stiffly as has been the case with naval warfare in a lot of games. Far Cry 3's co-op looked like a fine offering in every regard, but then came WonderBook.
Watching it back the demo of that game took a lot less time than it felt like it took, and yet I'm not sure that's really a good thing. In its defence I suppose it is a clever way to try and come up with something new in the motion control space, especially as Microsoft are so against the idea of having physical objects as part of their motion control experience, and kids are unpredictable, maybe they'll really enjoy it if it gets the right support. None the less the not-Harry Potter demo was certainly one of this year's low points. Poor, poor WonderBook.
The new God of War seemed to have a really nice flow to it and looked fun, but I do worry that it's going to give diminishing returns for anyone who's been following the series. I don't see them doing much new and after the epic battles of God of War III and the amount of Greek mythology they've exhausted, I wonder where they can take it while still keeping the series as much of a hit as it has been.
On the up side, the closer for the show was something to behold. Much like Tomb Raider, the Last of Us managed to crack through our cold indifference to violence and show us something gritty and jarringly visceral. The usual route games take to presenting a dark and troubling world is making the environment, enemies, and the actions of the enemies seem gruesome and ugly, but I think there's just as much, if not more to be said for a game that make the player carry out gruesome and ugly actions themselves. I don't know how it'll play, but the Last of Us presented a world that was wonderfully merciless and a pair of characters with a lot of potential. Overall, some very nice things from Sony.

First a proper stop should never be braced. If you do you will mess up in so many ways. However if you sit in the same manner that you would sit a dressage horse you will come off.
As to bending round the inside leg. Depends on what you need the horse to do. I have and do use my inside leg in the circle if I need to move the horse it a certain stop.
Again you MUST under stand where and why reining started to fully under stand the maneuvers and how they are ridden.
Here are a few very good examples of well ridden and well trained reining horses.
If you are looking to do the maneuvers for the cowboy races you need to learn to ride the horses in a way that is compatible with that type of race. My trainer does the extreme cowboy races with the reiners he trains. He has been quite successful in doing so.

Hello world!
My list here is misleading in the sense that I have watched a lot more anime than I have added to the list. I decided mainly only to add anime that I've watched legally in order to promote more of it. I also sometimes watch random episodes of certain anime, and I won't report those since it's hard keeping track of everything. Additionally, the time used on anime might also be misleading because I learned how to watch it in 2x speed on Youtube (best thing ever). Then again, I have watched more than I report, and there's shows I don't even report at all...
Rating System:
My rating system for anime is also something that needs explaining. It's not really based on quality as much as it is based on a) how much I liked it and b) how much entertainment I got from it. Basically, pretty much opiniated to the max. "Objective" things aren't really present in the ratings. Also, I do not use half stars as that makes rating things WAY harder than it needs to be. Finally, I will not rate shows I have not finished since that wouldn't be a fair evaluation of it.
5 stars: I personally REALLY enjoyed watching the show.
4 stars: It was a good watch, but there were some things that I feel dampered my enjoyment.
3 stars: It was somewhat enjoyable. Not bad, not good.
2 stars: Well, I watched it. Didn't think it was very enjoyable, but at least I watched it all.
1 star: I don't think I'll ever use this, but I felt that watching it was a waste of time. I would usually drop something before even watching all of it if it felt like that much of a waste.
One last thing: if I dropped a show, it doesn't automatically mean I hated it. It most likely is because I don't have the time/want to spend the time watching it. Or it could mean I hated it...
Favorite Anisongs for each Year:
A list of my favorite OPs/EDs for an anime that aired that year. I consider it to be in a particular year if the OP/ED in question started during that year.
I take into consideration the song itself and the animation that accompanies it (how much each is worth depends on the song I guess). Everything is subject to change. Some songs might even be from things I haven't personally watched or things I haven't noted in my anime list.
As for honorable mentions, they're songs I liked as well during that year. They could be liked almost as much as my fav OP/ED, but due to the nature of the list I can't list them there.

Posts tagged 'Rec Hall'
Penn State Will Return To Rec Hall (Again)
The Nittany Lion basketball team's 2015-16 non-conference schedule was released today, and it includes a pair of games in Rec Hall. The games will be on Dec. 10 and 12 against Canisius and Louisiana-Monroe, respectively. Penn State most recently played in its old home in 2013.
We've written pretty extensively about how spectacular of a venue Rec Hall was during its halcyon days—ESPN's Jalen Rose has even gone as far as saying it was "easily the hardest place to play in the Big Ten," according to Grantland's Kirk Goldsberry '99. The venue was at its best when the Bruce Parkhill-led Lions took on top-ranked Indiana in 1993, which you can read about right here. Hopefully we see this electric environment again soon.
Bill DiFilippo, online editor
The Penn Stater Daily — Dec. 16, 2013
Your Monday sports wrap: The Nittany Lions' "Return to Rec" game was a huge success in all but the final score, an 81-79 overtime loss Saturday to Princeton. The Tigers clawed back from a 20-point second-half deficit to dampen Penn State's first game at Rec Hall since 1996. Still, it was a great afternoon for the fans who packed into the old barn—if you weren't there, you can find a terrific bunch of photos from Mark Selders here. The women's volleyball team enjoyed a more successful weekend on the road, beating Michigan State and long-time rival Stanford to guarantee a return to the NCAA Final Four. Penn State will face Washington on Thursday in Seattle for a chance to play in the national title game.
I thought the contrast in photos Onward State ran in back-to-back stories on the hoops and volleyball games was worth noting:
Also in action this weekend: The Lady Lions got back on track after a tough week with a 66-58 win over No. 20 Texas A&M, and the No. 2 wrestling team dominated No. 6 Ohio State, 31-6.
Making their case: At a pretrial hearing Tuesday in Harrisburg, attorneys for Graham Spanier, Tim Curley '76, '78g, and Gary Schultz '71, '75g will argue that the cases against them should be thrown out. At issue is the role of Cynthia Baldwin '66, '74g, the former university counsel, and the question of whether Baldwin was representing them or the university in front of a grand jury in 2010. You can read more here.
"Ready" or not? We knew the rumors were coming, and with Penn State's football season over, we didn't have to wait long. CBS Sports writer Jason La Canfora reported Sunday that, "according to pro and college sources," Bill O'Brien is "ready" to return to the NFL. Is it true? Probably only O'Brien, his family, and his agent know for sure, but you can expect to hear much more on this over the coming weeks as NFL teams wrap up the regular season and prepare for the annual turnover in head coaching jobs. Stay tuned.
It's finals week: The cold front that has smacked Happy Valley in recent days should make it easier for students to cuddle up with warm books and laptops for the next few days as they wrap up the fall semester with final exams. Student media has all sorts of finals-related coverage—much of it lighthearted, much of it NSFW, exactly—but this list of songs to get students through study sessions from the Daily Collegian's "Finals Mag" is somewhat illuminating. Who knew they were listening to Dylan?
Ryan Jones, senior editor
The Penn Stater Daily — Dec. 12, 2013
Ready for Rec Hall: Saturday marks the Nittany Lion basketball team's long-awaited return to Rec Hall, the program's home from 1929–96. Penn State faces Princeton in the "Return to Rec" game, which tips off Saturday at 2 p.m., and all but a handful of standing-room seats have been sold. Knowing what a sucker I am for cheap nostalgia, the folks over at the Penn State sports blog Black Shoes Diaries asked me to write about my memories of Rec Hall, where I had front-row seats in '92-93 and '93-94, which just happened to be the Lions' first two seasons in the Big Ten. I was happy to oblige — you can read my BSD guest post here.
Mission to Mars: Rachel Worth, a PhD candidate in astronomy, is in the news for research findings that suggest the massive asteroid that scientists believe wiped out the dinosaurs might also have catapulted primitive life to Mars. As the lead author of a paper published in the journal Astrobiology, Worth writes that rocks big enough to support tiny life forms were likely ejected deep enough into space to reach Mars—and even the moons of Jupiter. (There's apparently even a word, "panspermia," to describe organisms that might hitchhike through space on such debris.) As Worth tells the BBC, "I'd be surprised if life hasn't gotten to Mars."
Kate the Great: Another day, another Penn State student-athlete recognized as the nation's best. Today it's Katie Slay, the senior middle hitter for the No. 2 women's volleyball team, who has been honored as the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year. This honor comes just two days after all-Big Ten football player John Urschel '12, '13g was awarded the "academic Heisman." Not too shabby. (Oh, and the women face Michigan State tomorrow night in the third round of the NCAA tournament. Good luck, Lions.)
Value for money: Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine has named Penn State one of its 100 Best Values in Public Colleges for 2013–14. The university comes in at No. 41 among public college values for out-of-state students and 53 for in-state students. The ratings consider admission rates, test scores, freshman retention rate, student-faculty ratios, and graduation rates, as well as cost criteria. You can find the complete list here.

The Penn Stater Daily — Sept. 19, 2013
From news to features, your daily dose of everything Penn State.
A healthy decision: Penn State has reversed course on its plans to fine faculty and staff who don't provide personal health information and submit to screenings as part of the university's new wellness plan. The story had become national news in recent weeks as faculty members and outside health care experts weighed in; the university's decision to suspend a $100 monthly fine for noncompliance with the plan made the front page of the Business section of Thursday's New York Times.
Shining light on dark matter: A Penn State research team believes it has discovered the origins of genomic dark matter. The findings, (more…)
Nittany Lion Basketball is Going Back to Rec Hall
For one night in December, the rims will be rocking again in Rec Hall.
It's long been rumored (and long been lobbied for by those of us with a particularly strong connection to the place), and on Wednesday, it became official: The Nittany Lions will host Princeton on Saturday, Dec. 14, in the gym the program called home for nearly seven decades. The announcement was made by athletic director Dave Joyner '72, '76g, who was flanked in the Bryce Jordan Center media room by current Nittany Lion coach Patrick Chambers and by Bruce Parkhill, the man who led Penn State to some of its finest moments in Rec Hall.
The return to the old building has been a long time coming. Chambers said they've been working on it for at least a year, figuring out the logistics of playing a basketball game in a building that is no longer set up for hoops. That means a portable floor being brought in and set up in the days before the game, figuring out ticketing allotments, and the smaller but no less vital details—Will there be enough parking? Will there be enough bathrooms?—familiar to anyone who remembers packing into Rec Hall for basketball back in the day. But they figured it out, and for Chambers, the motivation was simple.
"We listened to our fans," Chambers said. "We listened to our alums. We listened to our former players. We heard you."
For guys like me—a front-row season-ticket holder for two seasons in the mid '90s—the nostalgic pull of Rec Hall is obvious. It was great to see Parkhill, who was so terrific to talk to last year for our feature on the '93 Penn State-Indiana game, at the podium and clearly excited about the game. But the real treat is seeing how people with little or no connection to Rec Hall as a hoop venue are just as excited. Andrew Jones '11, the former Nittany Lion big man who returned to the program in June to work as a graduate assistant (and who played all his home games in the BJC), tweeted "I still can't believe this game is happening!!! Bittersweet but awesome nonetheless." And current students like Maddy Pryor and Darnell Brady, members of the Nittany Nation student supporters section, were at Wednesday's press conference to unveil the "Return to Rec" banners. They can't wait.
Neither can I. Now if only I can get my old seats back in the front row…

More Memories of Indiana-Penn State Hoops
The Nittany Lion basketball team is in Bloomington on Wednesday to take on No. 7 Indiana, which I'll use as another excuse to expand on our feature on the '93 Indiana-Penn State game that appears in our January/February issue.
As I've mentioned, I was in the front row for that game, as I was for nearly every game during the '92-93 and '93-94 seasons. We were right across from the visitor's bench, standing—always standing, of course—about 18 inches from the court. For much of the tape from that '93 game, I can see myself and my friends jumping, yelling, and occasionally getting held back by a student auxiliary officer. (What, I was gonna run across the court and tackle Bobby Knight?) What I remember almost as clearly as that game is what my friends and I did afterward.
Back in Snyder Hall that night, my fellow front-row residents—Greg Galli '96, Guy Licata '96, Doug Schoenly '96, Rob Scott '96, and Chad Weihrauch '97—and I were an emotional mess. We felt like we needed to do something, and we finally settled on writing a letter to Bruce Parkhill expressing our support. (As Parkhill made clear when we spoke last year, we were hardly the only ones—he still has the dozens of letters he received from around the country in the weeks after the game.) I don't remember what we wrote, but I remember the handwritten reply, on Penn State basketball letterhead, that we received via campus mail a few days later.
Pretty cool, huh?
But one of my favorite memories from this game is not actually my own. It comes from Loren Crispell '00, who was a local eighth grader at the time and now works as the marketing manager for the Nittany Lion basketball program. I quote Loren in the story that appears in the magazine, but I didn't have room to include this terrific story about how some of his friends ended up at the game:
I was born and raised in State College, and games at Rec Hall were events. Indiana coming to town was something that everybody had waited for. Everybody pointed to that game. You'd have the "General" in town, the history, all of it. That was something everybody anticipated from the moment we joined the Big Ten.
I went to Park Forest Middle School, and three or four of my friends got off the bus at school that morning and immediately turned and started walking toward campus. They were skipping school to go to Rec Hall. They went into the men's room at Rec Hall, which was open then, and camped out all day in the stalls. They read magazines to pass the time, and they just waited. Once the doors opened for the game that night, they were in the building. To me, it just underscored how big that game was, how much people wanted to be part of that experience.
I remember I had a French test the next morning. My parents kept asking me if I was ready. I kept saying 'Oui.' Little did I know that game would occupy the whole night.
I'm pretty sure Loren's out in Bloomington as I write this. Next time I see him, I'll have to ask him how he did on that test.

For One Night, Basketball Was Back in Rec Hall
It wasn't like I remembered, back when I was an undergrad and they played actual basketball games in Rec Hall. But walking into the old gym Wednesday night for Penn State's Hoops Madness event, I still felt something like nostalgia.
It felt pretty good.
Hoops Madness worked on a couple of levels, reminding old guys like me what a great building Rec Hall was (and might still be, someday…) for basketball, while hyping up students for the upcoming Nittany and Lady Lions seasons. Not much is expected of the men this season, but there's plenty of excitement about new head coach Patrick Chambers and his high-energy style. The women, meanwhile, enter the 2011-12 season as favorites for the Big Ten title.
On Wednesday, the teams came together in front of a few thousand fans in Rec Hall, (more…)

Make a Difference
Justin Waszkiewicz
People should learn to pick up a thesaurus and expand their vocab and delete the R-word from their life. Use a word that accurately describes your feeling and not settle on an outdated, hurtful, derogatory word.
Jason Schriml
Sam Snead
My brother has Downs Syndrome and has participated in Special Olympics for years. He was an inspiration to me. I became a coach for Special Olympics myself. I support this cause to make people more understanding and open minded to those who are different.
Melvin Stewart
I have always felt this way, but after dating someone with mild disability and seeing how smart and how much information he retains. It's amazing, I Love that kid and his inner strength
Elaine Hull
Almost 3 years ago I lost my best friend, my cousin, my smile. He was 25 and he was found incoherent in the bathroom. We couldn't get into the bathroom for a couple hours after.
Brianna Nelson
I have a horse rider that i teach her name is gabbi and shes is beautiful! as she says!!
Kimberly Cox
When I was growing up I had a cousin who was much older than me. She had disabilities. I remember visiting her house with my family and I brought a friend.
Chloe Thomas
Let's try to stop the r word cause it's gross. We don't need that word in our life. People with special needs are not any different from normal people, so give them respect.
My brother was born with the inability to walk or talk. That never hindered his ability to love or support anyone in his life. Learning how to be selfless and strong during countless setbacks in life is easily the best lesson I could have learned from him.
Maddie Pfaff
In high school I was the president of Best Buddies. One day, while we were all sitting around playing Uno, one of our buddies came up to me and began to cry. When I asked her why she was crying...
Adam Hays
In 2008, as head coach of the Baltimore City Special Olympics Maryland swim team, I brought to Baltimore a talented swimmer with Down syndrome, who owned, at that time, over 15 world records for "special needs" athletes.
This Is Me
At first, I didn't think I could do anything about their use of the word, but when they called my best friend's mother the r-word, something exploded inside of me. I approached them, and explained that it was hurtful to me and many others when they used the r-word.
Laura Russell
Cathi Holibaugh
Many years ago my daughter was competing in Summer Games at the University of Maryland for aquatics. I was sitting in the stands with the athletes waiting for them to be staged when I saw Mrs. Shriver.
I help a 3rd grade class in the morning and one day a 3rd grader said "That's retarded" and a child with downs spoke up and said "No, no we don't use that word." Now every time I hear the word I speak up and say something about it

Sometimes you can win without even being able to see the finish line. Jerry Gatton is a runner. He is determined and eager.
In addition to having an intellectual disability, he was born blind.

Through the age of 14-25 , from high school to employment I would get picked on & bullied in school due to me having epilepsy.
Kate Fialkowski
When we were little, my brothers would sit on the porch. I remember hot summer days ... Kids would pass by saying the r-word and throwing things at my brothers.
Megan Shook
what word can I use to describe a person who is intellectually deficient? 2-3 syllables please. i am old and rather out-of-it so I am sincerely asking.
Kristy Young
I am an autistic woman and I have been called the R-word before. It hurts because people automatically assume I am intellectually disabled but I'm not.
Emily Hartbarger
Cedrick Lewis
The r word should not be used at any point of time because it is mean and hurtful to others nationwide
Reilly Kidwell
You meet one family member, your perspective of life will change. If somebody ever says the r-word I correct them and tell them Ava's story.
Gail Smith
I have been on bowling leagues for over 40 years and this year on one of my leagues we have a special boy names Zac. He's a Special Olympics athlete with autism and a fantastic bowler.
Roger Brow
Jordyn Cristaudo
Josie Harrow
I cannot imagine the intense feeling a person with an intellectual disability may feel by someone with or without a disability using the r-word.

Also, and as is usually the case, providers should be proactive in their approach, as opposed to being reactionary when the auditor comes knocking.
"Medicare RACs (Recovery Auditors) have already proven to be distressing and difficult to manage for most hospitals, so this will add a layer of uncertainty to which they have yet to know, says Malm. "Providers need to really look at this and come up with a strong action plan."

40% off SALE ~ Flower appliqué bunting in linen Perfect for parties, showers & weddings with 11 flags READY to SHIP
Product Info
© Copyright Sew Sweet Violet
40% off SALE ~ was £27.00 now £16.20!
I adore this bunting (even if i say so myself!) perfect for spring and summer celebrations it is made from beautiful natural linen, appliquéd with bright flowers and leaves.
It would look so beautiful hung on a wall or along a pretty celebration table, even in the garden for a tea party
There are 11 flags in total and is 237cm (7' 9.3") long excluding ties, there is a gap of 7cm (2.8") between each flag
There is an extra 75cm (2' 5.5") of bias tape at each end, the bias ends are finished off with a pretty puffy fabric flower.
The flags are 16cm X 15cm (this is my 'medium' size)
6 of the flags have appliquéd flowers and leaves these are alternated with 5 plain linen flags.
The appliqué flowers have been stamped with permanent black ink onto bright spotty cotton fabrics, they have then been machine stitched onto the flags, some of the flowers also have hand embroidery on them
The flags are stitched to red bias binding with yellow thread and each flag is backed with the same beautiful linen fabric so will look lovely from behind too.
I have some lovely feedback, you can take a look here...
If you are new to etsy, please see this buying guide...
* This is a decorative item only, it must be hung well out of reach of children*
thank you for looking :o)

Respond to Review of Hiltl Sihlstrasse
by Erwin Lengauer
Review: Since more than 20 years I spend my money for travelling and visiting vegetarian and wine places all over the world. You will enjou the HILTL if you like a professional modern vegetarian restaurant which offers one of the best wine list I haver seen in an vegetarian restaurant - look http://www.hiltl.ch/en/restaurant.php?id=103. More than 150 people work at Hiltl to over the best, friendly and very profesionell service I have seen in years. My only!! critic is that the vegan option are quiet limited. Besides that its one of the best veg restaurant on continental europe only comparaple with one of my absolute 5 Star Veg Restaurant IL Margutta Vegetariano (Vegetarian Restaurant) in Rom http://www.happycow.net/reviews.php?id=1002

coming from the guy whos top five most used guns are SMGs.
Here here, well put.
how do you control the engagement when your not seeing what the other person is see? how do you control the engagement when you shoot first in your screen but inreality you already did .5 seconds ago?? how do you control the engagement when your basically playing halo while your enemy is play Hardcore???
Practice is key because gaming is a skill...
My SMGs are the most used because I played a lot of CTF and other objective fast-pased gametypes. I have been play a lot of SnD and I seem to do much better with a Assault Rifle than a SMG.
As it was said before just because it is overused doesn't make it overpowered.
Here here again....we should make tee shirts...;)
Here's one;
"I went outside yesterday, graphics were great, game play sucked"
"Ignorance is bliss."
You want to know the difference between Dropshotting and Panic-knifing. One takes practice and the other takes panicking.
Smg's are insanely overpowered, almost like every SMG in this game was based off the MP7 of MW3. Dropshotting has been nerfed considerably, if you watch a guy on YouTube called Driftor. He goes through what they did to screw up that mechanic. This game gives me a headache and is not fun at all, it requires me to focus so much almost like I'm actually in a competition. I really can't say much more about this game, it's a disappointment as was MW3. MW4 people will the same nonsense people but youll all by it anyway because most of you are sheep and will follow where ever they lead. If you truly want change people, stop buying the games! Very simple, there money loss will prove how displeased we are with the product and force them to give us quality not quantity.
Why do you call people who will buy the next game sheep? yet you bought BLOPS2 after saying MW3 was a disappointment
