If you are among the 40 to 50 million in the United States suffering from the embarrassing problem of acne breakouts, you may be losing hope of ever having clear, healthy skin. Many acne suffers struggle to find topical products that truly clear up acne, and products that do often cause dryness and irritation. Some must even turn to oral medications, which pose a risk for life-threatening side effects, including severe birth defects. Jurlique's acne products are developed specifically for those that have tried everything to fight acne.
The difference in the Jurlique Acne Treatment line comes from its source--natural herbal and botanical extracts. Using natural healing knowledge that has been relied upon throughout the world for centuries, the Jurlique Acne Treatment range eliminates the bacteria that cause acne, while releasing materials trapped in the pores to prevent further infection. The effective products in the Jurlique Acne Treatment line also treat acne breakouts when they occur, helping you to return to your most beautiful, radiant complexion as quickly as possible. With Jurlique, acne does not have a fighting chance.
Battle acne, not your skin, with the Jurlique Acne Treatment collection. This nourishing line of products works to address many of the problems that lead to unsightly acne breakouts. Unlike other acne regimens on the market, the Jurlique acne range does not rely on chemicals for its effectiveness; instead, the products in the collection contain natural remedies to clear your skin without unwanted irritation or dryness.
Jurlique Blemish Cream is the perfect solution for skin plagued with regular acne breakouts. Witch hazel contained in the rich cream has a mattifying effect on the skin, drying up the excess oil that accumulates in the pores and causes blemishes. Natural tea tree oil partners with witch hazel, killing bacteria that can lead to pimples without irritating the skin.
To prevent drying, Jurlique Blemish Cream features both aloe vera and glycerin, which replenish lost moisture without clogging the pores. Macadamia and avocado oils in the formula finish the moisturizing process by creating a protective barrier to keep valuable hydration in facial tissue.
Because skin that has undergone numerous acne treatments is often hypersensitive and irritated, Jurlique Blemish Cream is enhanced by a number of herbs that help balance the complexion, such as calendula and violet. The extracts of these flowers complete the blemish cream for a multi-function treatment contained all in one bottle.
For best results, simply work the Jurlique Blemish Cream into acne-prone areas twice per day after washing with a gentle cleanser for oily skin, such as the all-natural formulas produced by Jurlique.

The new pope is calling himself a simple, humble worker for the Lord, and says he is putting himself in the hands of the world's prayers.
German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has made his first appearance as Pope Benedict the Sixteenth.
Crowds of pilgirms have filled St. Peter's square, erupting into applause at the sight of the new Catholic leader.
Ratzinger is already well-known to many Vatican watchers. He served as the dean of the College of Cardinals and was a close adviser to Pope John Paul the Second.
He is the first German pope in centuries.
Minutes after his first appearance as Pope Benedict the Sixteenth, he blessed the crowd, smiling and waving.
Earlier, chiming bells and smoke from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel were signaling that cardinals had picked a successor to John Paul.
At first, it wasn't clear if the smoke coming from the chimney was white, signaling a new pope, or black for an inconclusive vote, but the joyous ringing of church bells sent pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square into a frenzy of cheers.
They chanted "Viva il Papa!" or "Long live the pope!"
Cardinals reached the decision in the first full day of the first conclave of the new millennium. Votes Monday and Tuesday morning failed to reach a consensus.
The new pope is the church's 265th. Thousands of people have gathered to see the pope publicly identified.

Live Blog: Initial Arugments Over, Rebuttals On the Way, Snoring in the Jury Box
Seems to be a sticking point for the judge too. He seems to be asking more questions about these issues than others touched on earlier.
Plaintiffs say city and federal government didn't consider the burials in downtown Honolulu enough beforehand.
An attorney on the other side said it was prudent to defer some of this work because too much archeological surveying could have been more disruptive than the project itself.
Also, I hear someone snoring in the jury box. I promise it's not me.…

As some people have noticed Zimbra 6 consumes a lot more load (link) than Zimbra 5. The entry is well described, and I can just concur this with my own installation:
http://stat.nexticom.net/graph_image...id=19&rra_id=4 <-- why don't I get an image in the forum? :/ Anyhow, click link to reveal.
Upgrade in September.
I use Zimbra OSS for home as it offer a great suite. It is a single server deployment. Currently running in a virtual host with 2GB RAM and 3x 2.4GHz CPUs for disposal, as I had to increase from 1 to cope with the load to get some reasonable response time (w-t-f :confused::confused::confused: )
As another writer (link) clearly gets a response to is that a downgrade is not supported.
I would probably just restore the obvious backup that I made before upgrading, but I hate the thought of losing several months worth of mails due to this.
Is someone working addressing this issue?
Can I downgrade?
If not, can someone point me out how I can make a new fresh installation and migrate my mails, settings and accounts to the older Zimbra?
Any advice would be appreciated.

It may be quiet, but there are still plenty of Fourth of July activities
Elkhart County's fireworks ban notwithstanding, there are plenty of things to do. Here's a list of some activities going on today, July 4:
All of Elkhart municipal parks are open, including Ideal Beach, McNaughton Splash Park and the Pierre Moran Swimming Pool.
The U.S. Army Field Band will perform at 7 p.m., at McNaughton Park in Elkhart.
The Upper St. Joseph Flotilla, a boat show, will take place around 9 p.m., along the St. Joseph River in Elkhart. The theme is "Light the Night" and the flotilla of boats will form at 8:30 p.m. at Bulldog Crossing and travel the river to Martin's Landing on Jackson Boulevard near Alfred Street, where bleachers will be placed for viewers.
In Goshen, Shanklin Park Swimming Pool, 411 W. Plymouth Ave., will be open from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Daily swimming passes are free for children 2 and younger, $2.50 for youth and seniors and $3.50 for adults. An extra dollar is charged for non-residents. Splash pads will be open for free from noon to 8 p.m. at Rieth Park at the corner of South 13th and Illinois streets and Walnut Park at North Fifth Street and East Oakridge Avenue.
The Elcona Country Club east of Elkhart is still holding its annual fireworks show, which isn't open to the public. It starts at dusk, around 10 p.m.
Nappanee holds a day of festivities starting at 8 a.m., centered at Stauffer Park. Activities will include everything from the Junior Olympics and a community sale to an 11 a.m. parade and "Nappanee's Got Talent" contest at 3 p.m. The fireworks show will start around 10 p.m. Go to Nappanee's Facebook page for more details.
The town of Syracuse is sponsoring a fireworks display, starting at dusk, around 10 p.m. One of the best places to watch is from Lakeside Park in Syracuse.
Elkhart County's fireworks ban prohibits personal use of fireworks. Because of the dry weather, the cities of Elkhart and Goshen have put the plug on plans for their public fireworks shows, though Elkhart is planning a fireworks extravaganza for Sept. 3, Labor Day.
The Simonton Lake Sportsman's Club postponed its annual fireworks show, which was to have been on June 30.

It all started with one vial. Denis Simioni received this small glass bottle from a relative who told her the golden oil inside was an amazing treatment for damaged hair. Never one to believe in miracle cures, Denis left the vial unopened. Then one day when a trip to the pool left her hair dry and brittle, she decided to give it a try. The remarkable effects of this oil astounded her to the point that she set off on a trip to Central America to learn more about its source. There, she discovered that the name of this mysterious oil was Ojon, which seemed the perfect name for the hair care collection that she developed around the oil.
The Ojon hair care collection contains pure oil derived from trees in Central America. The nourishing, hydrating oil is incredibly rare; 8,000 nuts are necessary to produce just 3 cups of it. Because of the presence of the oil in their formulas, Ojon products are uniquely able to reverse damage caused by free radicals and other environmental stressors, restoring hair's health.
The key, transforming ingredient in Ojon hair treatments is a natural botanical oil that has been known to the native Miskito people of Central America for centuries. Derived from a native nut-bearing tree, the extracted oil provides lipids that closely match the natural oils found in human hair. When carefully formulated into the hair products offered by Ojon, it helps to strengthen, repair and renew hair damaged by over-styling and excessive coloring, stressed by pollution and diet, or simply a victim of the aging process.
Adhering to the highest standards of free trade, Ojon works closely with MOPAWI, a non-profit group dedicated to sustainable development with the native Miskito and Garifuna peoples of the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve in northeastern Honduras, to acquire the oil from thousands of local producers. The nuts are gathered from wild trees - not plantations - as a renewable resource and processed in the traditional manner by local workers. This special oil (it takes the entire nut production of one tree to produce just 3 cups of oil) is formulated with up to 30 other naturally derived ingredients to make the different Ojon hair care products, each of which is subjected to rigorous clinical, consumer and safety testing. The formulators are dedicated to pure, natural products, free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA and animal ingredients (except for cruelty-free honey and beeswax). The result is a line of effective treatments, ready to provide healthy, lustrous hair, full of body, bounce and volume.

Motorcyclist killed in Belleview crash
Published: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 11:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 11:39 p.m.
BELLEVIEW — A motorcyclist died Friday night in an accident in Belleview, and a Summerfield woman was ticketed for violating the motorcyclist's right of way.
Belleview Police Department officers on scene of the fatality at the intersection of County Road 25A and U.S. 441 in Belleview said Dorothy Boogaard, 80, of Del Webb Spruce Creek, the driver of a 2012 Chrysler 300, was given a ticket for violation of the motorcyclist's right of way.
The death is the third incident in Marion County since February involving a driver 80 and older. Of the three, two of them, both males who were in their 90s, died as a result of the accidents. In both deaths, law enforcement officials said the driver pulled out into the path of oncoming vehicles.
The most recent case was Monday night when Florida Highway Patrol troopers said a 91-year-old Silver Springs Shores man driving an older model car on his way to a church function pulled out in front of an unmarked Marion County sheriff's vehicle. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
In Friday's accident, officers said the motorcyclist was northbound on U.S. 441 in the inside lane. Boogaard and her husband, 81-year-old Bernard Boogaard, were traveling eastbound on CR 25A. Authorities said Dorothy Boogaard pulled out in front of the motorcyclist, who had little time to react.
Officials said the motorcycle struck the front tire by the driver's side of the Chrysler,and ejected the rider approximately 30 feet onto the roadway.
The motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet, died at the scene, officials said.
Police did not release the rider's name pending notification of his family.
Officials said it doesn't appear that the motorcyclist was speeding.
Police said the Boogaards, who were wearing their seatbelts, were on their way home when the accident occurred. The Boogaards declined to comment to the Star-Banner.
The deceased is the second motorcyclist to have died on Marion County roadways within the last few weeks. On Feb. 28, 46-year-old Bryant Giannino of Orlando died when his motorcycle struck the back of a pickup truck on East State Road 40. Giannino was not wearing his helmet at the time of the crash, authorities said.

REGIONALREPORT CharlotteNew incubator aims to charge energy sector
The Charlotte energy sector, which President Barack Obama has repeatedly praised, features such behemoths as Duke Energy Corp. and Siemens Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Germany-based Siemens AG. But economic-development officials are quick to admit its biggest flaw: a lack of startups. Its one of those areas that were probably a little more challenged in, says David Swenson, senior vice president of Charlotte Regional Partnership. CLT Joules, the first energy-specific business incubator in the Queen City, hopes to change that.
The nonprofit will open its doors in April, providing discounted office space at Packard Place a for-profit, nonindustry-specific incubator in downtown Charlotte and a 12- to 24-month business-management program for startups or companies that generate less than $1 million of revenue. Co-founder Curtis Watkins, a project manager in Charlotte-based Duke Energys global-technology department, hesitates to discuss requirements but says, as an example, tenants wont be solar-panel installers; theyll be designing better solar panels. Three startups have committed to it, though Watkins wont reveal their names until they move in. An all-volunteer board of directors, which includes Watkins, a City Council member, the chief operating officer of a Virginia-based smart-grid company, a lawyer and an accountant, will mentor them.
Watkins came up with the idea two years ago. I had been doing some research around what other cities with large energy industries had been doing. One of the things that stood out was they all had something to attract entrepreneurs and innovators. He approached Dan Roselli, owner of Packard Place, who donated 15,000 of the buildings 90,000 square feet of office space. When CLT Joules is more financially stable it hopes to get most of its funding from corporate donations it will pay rent.
$3 million to $4 million
KINGS MOUNTAIN Fort Smith, Ark.-based Baldor Electric, maker of industrial electric motors, will invest $17 million in its plant here and add 166 jobs to its 485 to help the company meet demand for wind-powered technology. The average annual wage is expected to exceed Cleveland Countys average of $32,344, though the company did not specify an amount.
STATESVILLE Drinkable yogurt and fruit-shake maker Origin Food Group hired about 25 workers for its new $7 million processing plant here. The company plans to double that number by 2014.
CHARLOTTE Axum Capital Partners, a private-equity firm co-founded by former Carolina Panther Muhsin Muhammad II, acquired a controlling interest in Mount Pleasant, S.C.-based Wild Wing Cafe, a sports-bar chain with 11 corporate-owned and 21 franchise restaurants. The chain employs 2,400 workers, with 500 in North Carolina. Axum co-founder Edna Morris, a former president of Red Lobster, will be interim CEO. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
CHARLOTTE Southwest Airlines announced it will fly out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport after purchasing AirTran, which already operates flights here. The Dallas-based airline did not announce a date for picking up the flights.
CHARLOTTE Mint Museum hired Toni L. Freeman to the new position of chief operating officer. She previously was director of donor and business relations at Mecklenburg Citizens for Public Education.
SALISBURY Belgian grocery-store chain Delhaize Group, which operates the Food Lion, Bloom and Bottom Dollar stores, closed 126 stores and retired the Bloom label. Only four North Carolina stores, each employing 35 to 40 workers, were shuttered. No jobs were lost at the Food Lion headquarters in Salisbury.

No reviews?! Really? At the end of all of these games I'm left hanging.
what a waste of my saturday afternoon. CLASSIC Cyclone football.
What the hell was that last play call? we need six inches and we call an option? Never mind our D melting down in the second half, again, that is a horrible call.
We are horrible. There's no way we should have lost that game.
I would like to know WHY you wouldn't go UP THE MIDDLE for the last play.
Can't say much. I hope we (the fans) show up for Missouri, because the team needs it. They've come so close.
Next year will be a big year.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
if given a chance, we will fold every time.
Run a ******* qb sneak. Why the hell can we not get a play off in time
Been a long time since I've been this mad after a game. Unreal.
The way that game went, psychologically, we needed that win today and we didn't get it. Severely concerned about the future of ISU FB.
Any other team in college football (and probably some high schools) punch it in that situation.....unbelievable.

1969 Mercury Cougar Gets New Radio Bezel- Fab It!Written by on May 1, 2009 Contributors: Courtesy Of Jeff Lilly Restorations Want To Get Your Feet Wet With Fabricating? Start Out Small With A Dash Bezel For Your A/C Controls And Stereo.
Jeff Lilly is a multi-faceted person. He makes his living out of Jeff Lilly Restorations, a world-class auto restoration house in San Antonio, Texas. He also happens to be a fine photographer who maintains an enviable home photographic studio. Naturally, he builds his cars with an eye toward showing prospective customers and DIY fans exactly what's behind his automotive magic. His many vehicle projects are painstakingly documented on his website, www.jefflilly.com, and the project shown here is just one of many jobs he's tackled online.
As the economy continues to tighten, more and more of us will be turning (or returning) to our own devices to make what we need to build and enjoy. More of us will be doing things the right way the first time. Here, Jeff guides us through the ordeal of constructing a dashboard bezel, in this case, one holding controls for the HVAC and audio systems. If you plan on building your dream car, you'll appreciate this road map showing what tools to use, how to use them, and the raw materials needed. Find comfort in knowing that the skills and tools used to fab this dash bezel are widely used for other areas of the car; the proper execution of a project like this is practically a graduation diploma from the school of home fabrication!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The '69 Cougar's original plastic radio bezel has a pebble-grain finish on the inside, and a chrome bead on the outer edge. The top of it housed a Philco AM/FM, while the lower opening accommodated the heater controls. This piece is going into a Pro Touring ride as part of a creature comfort upgrade, and must be reworked to display the new equipment.You'll want to start out rough-measuring the circumference of the bezel. Begin by cutting a 1/2-inch-wide strip of 12-gauge stainless stock (approximately 15-18 inches long), depending on the bezel measurement. You'll use these pieces to restore the chrome bead look of the original bezel, as the edges will be polished before the center portion of the finished unit is painted black. Tip: If a rolling bandsaw is beyond your reach, a cutoff tool will do the job, though the edges will be rougher than the bandsaw cut.Now you need a little control. Make a simple jig, and secure it in a vise so that you'll be able to bend the stainless strip in the same shape as the original. For especially small items, hand-bending usually offers more control than a power tool. TIP: Make a jig that's as simple as a rock from scraps around the garage. This one has three pieces, an angle-iron base, a tab in the middle of it, and a short piece of pipe tacked to the base to help make the arcs.On a section of 20-gauge steel, position the HVAC control assembly and plate (in this case, a unit from Vintage Air) where you want it in the bezel. Once centered, mark the outline with a felt tip pen.Use a small hole saw at each corner and a cutoff wheel to remove the center section, all the while staying 1/16 inch away from the original cut outline. Use a carbide burr in an angle grinder for the trial-fit phase.Continue fitting and finessing until you're satisfied with the fit of the control assembly. Get the lines down right, like this nice, tight razor-blade gap. Tip: A collection of small, variously shaped hand files will ease the shaping and fitting process.Now tack weld the pre-bent stainless edging to the carbon steel face plate you've been fiddling with on its reverse side, where no one will see it. Tip: The welded side will face the firewall and be completely out of sight.
Tweaking the edging is easier with a slew of vise grips holding things in position, and a gentle application of hammer energy. Once the edging is in the exact placement, it's welded on the inside edging that surrounds the A/C bezel.On a Cougar, you will need a shroud for the lower section where the stereo head will go, but this technique works nicely with other makes, too. As you can see by the template, it's an odd shape. Tip: Always form a paper mock-up before doing anything to the metal. Use regular 20-gauge stock (the thickness of a steel car body).Once the metal has been cut from the template, it must be bent and angled as shown. Obviously, these dimensions are peculiar, and that's where the cardboard template becomes invaluable.Tack weld your new U-shaped piece to the back of the bezel. This comparison promises a sleeker, slicker piece than the old stuff. Throughout the fabrication process, you will continually refer back to the factory piece for inspiration, and to check your fit, finish, and overall shape.This behind-the-scenes look shows the stereo face plate welded in. The same slight angle at the top of the old bezel is faithfully recreated in the new one for the proper location of the original mounting holes.You'll need a bit more sheet steel to make the flat section where the cutout for the stereo head will be. Once it's tack welded in place, you can measure the face plate for the stereo head unit.Removing the blank section that will display the face of the tuner/CD head is easiest with a bandsaw. Here, the cutting began with a slice through the perimeter (to be welded up later). Tip: You can also make the opening with a cutoff tool and use files for the final shaping.To secure the head in the bezel, you'll need mounting brackets that look like this. You'll need to make them from 20-gauge steel sheet. Some flush-mount screws hold it in place.
Showin' some style, now boss. The radio head fits tight and flush. Your work is lookin' good! Now is a good time to point out the cosmetic value of having a media blaster around. Note the textured grain of the faceplates. It looks good as is, but also provides an ideal surface for paint to adhere to.Now, go back to the A/C cutout work. You'll need to form a shroud from 18-20-gauge steel to fill the top of the unit, and as a basis for the mounting screws. The view of the top section shows where the shroud covers the opening.At the dash opening, the side panels on the factory dash are fiberglass. You might need to make a small relief to accommodate a radio slightly wider than the old stock unit. The outer bezel will cover the cuts.With the bezel in place inside the dash and the head unit mocked up, the backside view reveals a tight, right fit.

For the first time in 12 years, the Pasadena City College women's track and field team finished as high as third place at the South Coast Conference Championships. The Lancers performed the feat in the combined SCC Prelims and Finals meets that took place April 23 and April 26 at Mt. San Antonio College.
Sprinter Omhunique Browne established herself as the state's No. 1 racer as she won both the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes in becoming a double conference champion.
Browne ran an electrifying 11.33 seconds to set this year's new state standard and win the 100 by .78 of a second ahead of Mt. SAC's Brittany Myricks. She also scored the 200 title with another explosive state-leading 23.46 as she defeated her nearest competitor by 1.05 seconds.
The Lancers scored 76 team points, 13 less than the 2001 team's performance when the team featured the nations' top community college pole vaulter Elizabeth Heskett. However, the team's third place spot is a huge achievement for a program that was sixth last year and had not placed above fourth place in more than a decade. Cerritos (288 points) won the conference title while Mt. San Antonio (197) was second.
Christina Shamirian grabbed a third place medal in the 3,000 steeplechase with a 12:19.20 time. The Lancers settled for second in the 4x400 relay (3:52.69) behind the racing of Breanna Clark, Browne, Sophia Amodia, and Erica Payne.
Diane Lombardi placed fifth in the 800 meters at 2:22.07, and was sixth in the 1,500 at 4:57.32. Arielle Barragan-Steimer was sixth in the 5,000 meters (18:56.62). Kia Smith placed fourth in the 100 hurdles (15:05) while Amodia was sixth in the 400 hurdles (1:04.71).
"We're obviously pleased with taking third place as a team at conference," said PCC head coach Larry Wade. "Omhunique is at the top of her game and is ready for both SoCal and state. We are certainly going to be in the thick of things in the relays and it's starting to look like we are gaining in top state marks in other events. This is a big year for Lancers' women's track and field and we hope to show our worth at regionals and state."
The Lancers now will set their sights on the Southern California Prelims on Saturday, May 4 at Antelope Valley College. Field events start at 9 a.m. and track events begin at 10:30 a.m.
[Photo--Omhunique Browne takes the baton from teammate Breanna Clark at the Pasadena Relays early this season. The Lancers have the third fastest state time in the 4x400 relay.]

Someone was asking me about using Xara to create a path through the forest. My problem is that I use an older version of the software, Xara Xtreme Pro 4, when the current version is Xara Photo Designer 6. So it's really not worth it to anyone for me to post screen captures, nor detailed instructions about tools. So I decided to create what I call a "Quick and Dirty Xara Tutorial" - no screen captures or tool explanations, just quick and dirty instructions. However, I've been told by Photoshop/GIMP users that the techniques used here can be extrapolated and used in those programs as well - as long as you know you to replicate a given technique in your software of choice.
So here's the first one, and I am planning to do a few more...
I hope it helps somebody!
Here's a link to the Google+ Maps for Sharing Community.
And as an aside, I just started a Google+ Community for the Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG) - so if you're a fan, or think you might want to be, please join!
By the way, in both those communities I go by my real name, Michael Tumey, and not my handle here.

Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery
Dr. Vignati
Dr. Cohen
Dr. Johnson
Dr. Sardella
The past 15 years have witnessed a revolution in surgical procedures for treatment of conditions such as colon cancer, ulcerative colitis and diverticulItis.
Operations such as colectomy — compete or partial removal of the colon — that used to require lengthy, open incisions can now be performed using just a three-inch incision, plus tiny openings for a camera and instruments. Hartford hospital surgeons have led this transformation.
In the late 1990s, Hartford Hospital surgeons — all members of the
Colorectal Division of Connecticut Surgical Group
— pioneered the hand-assisted laparoscopic colectomy now used by physicians around the world. Now they teach the procedure to other surgeons at professional conferences and through live webcasts. They've made numerous presentations and published widely on the subject, and patients from all over the Northeast come to them for treatment.
Several factors contributed to Hartford Hospital's leadership in this field, including the hospital's purchase of
specialized equipment
, the synergy among Hartford Hospital surgeons from a variety of disciplines and the volume of surgical cases performed at Hartford Hospital. Today, these colorectal surgeons perform approximately
laparoscopic colectomies annually.
"The most many other hospitals may do is 50 a year," says colorectal surgeon
Jeffrey Cohen, MD
, "and some may do only 10 or 20. We are second or third in the country in terms of volume and far and away the largest in New England. Colorectal surgeon
William Sardella, MD
, notes that experience builds expertise. "You have to do 30 to 50 fairly straightforward cases before you've mastered the learning curve for average procedures," he says.
While aggressive in developing minimally invasive techniques, the colorectal surgeons have been careful to ensure quality of care. "When we first started doing this surgery, we offered it only as treatment for benign disease, not in cases of colorectal cancer," says
Paul Vignati, MD
. "We wanted to gain more experience and be sure its results equaled those of open surgery. Only after we'd done hundreds of cases and seen evidence from research that it was equally effective did we start offering it to patients with colorectal cancer."

Dr. Vignati notes that one of the unique strengths of his group is that they have the expertise to perform procedures either laparoscopically or as open surgery. "A major benefit to patients who come to us is that we have all the tools in our tool bag," he says. "Since we do a lot of laparoscopic surgery and a lot of open surgery, the patient benefits from having an experienced surgeon recommend the procedure that is best for that patient's particular condition."
Hartford Hospital is one of very few places in the country with experience performing laparoscopically a complex operation called an
ileoanal pouch procedure
. A reconstructive procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis, the operation, sometimes called a "J-pouch" procedure, bypasses the colon, but without necessitating a permanent colostomy. As of January, 2009, approximately 100 such procedures have been performed at Hartford Hospital. Mastering complex procedures is part of the culture of this team of surgeons.
"It's our group's philosophy to be the very best," says Dr. Cohen. "We are fellowship-trained surgeons—specialists who can take care of patients other surgeons or hospitals can't handle. It's very rewarding to be at the forefront of providing the highest quality of care."
Kristina Johnson, MD
, notes that her group's quality of care is enhanced by the full range of outstanding subspecialty surgeons who practice at Hartford Hospital. "Colorectal disorders often involve other abdominal and pelvic organs, as well," Dr. Johnson points out. "Being at Hartford Hospital, we can readily collaborate with experts in urology, gynecology and other fields to provide truly outstanding care to our patients."

|START Conference Manager
(Submission #38)
Although the boundary object is a significant theoretical concept for the CSCW community, it is less well-known in the general Information Science community. This paper briefly introduces the concept of the boundary object and proposes a new method to help researchers study users interactions with these objects. Findings from an ethnographic study of musicians annotative behaviors on their boundary objects, musical scores, will provide the means to discuss this methodology. Findings from this study have implications not only for the CSCW community, but also for the Information Science community at large, in the development of systems that support collaboration, performance, and different forms of human-information interaction.

Is there a way on the admin/server side to import address books from iMail to Zimbra without having to involve the end users? I want to be able to migrate them over night and when they come in the next morning, not has changed as far as they are concerned other than the look.
I have found the txt files in iMail where the address books are and getting them to a csv file would not be an issue, I just don't want to have to log in as over 200 users and import each one separately. Thanks.

Another drama queen who thinks he's being 'shouted down' by the masses and loses his freedoms just because people find his posts to be dumb?
What's with the narcissism? You really think people are ganging up on you or collectively trying to silence you?
Maybe it's much more simple than that. Maybe the majority of the posters here just happen to agree that you've sounded like an raving idiot for a month now. Maybe those posters have a the right to speak their minds too.
This all seems like a defense mechanism. You're afraid the Bruins will lose and you want to be the first one off the ship, so you can at least say "told ya so" when it happens (even though there is obviously a 90% chance they will not win the Cup). And now, instead of just acknowledging that most people find your ravings to be foolish and reactionary, you build up this fantasy (Obama included) that people are trying to censor you something. It's all about you.
If you'd rather try to save face than root for your favorite team, that's fine, but you are a fair-weather fan. You're even distancing yourself from the team and the fans, as Bookboy pointed out ("...team ya got"). That's okay too, but stop being a pretend martyr. You're just too afraid of losing to even enjoy the challenge.
Seems like the Harlem Globetrotters might be more your speed. Dominant in every game. You don't have to be afraid of challenges or losing.

Last week, we complained about certain celebrities who dominate magazine covers despite their lack of relevancy. So, since we've already said who we don't want on magazine covers, here's a list of who we would like to see. What's the difference? It's not only who is current and relevant – it's about getting away from a sea of similar-looking white, blonde, thin women and embracing a whole range of definitions of the word beauty.

I lucked out and finially drew a tag in unit 78. I've heard there are some private property issues, but also enough public land to still have a good hunt. Would appreciate any info if anyone's been in it. Good luck to everyone this season!

I lucked out and finially drew a tag in unit 78. I've heard there are some private property issues, but also enough public land to still have a good hunt. Would appreciate any info if anyone's been in it. Good luck to everyone this season!
Congrats on the draw. I don't know much about the unit but I will check with some local buddies and see if I can be of any help.
Here is the description of Unit 78 from the Eastman's MRS section:
This hunt is in the Jackson Hole valley. The access can be nearly impossible, but if you gain access on the Snake River bottom to hunt elk, you can score big. The recently extended season now goes from September 26th to January 31st, so you have plenty of time to wait for the right weather to push the big bulls around. The success rates here are often hit and miss, but with a five-year average hunter success of 80%, this is one of the highest in the entire state. This area can certainly be a risky endeavor from an access standpoint, but the reward can be big if you get lucky in the draw and hire a guide.
Your going to want to do some major research if you dont have private property access lined up...The forest area is all HIGH country, i spend quite a bit of time snowmobiling it during winter, but it is heavily hit in fall by general deer hunters, so the elk get pushed down pretty quick. That being said a majority of the big bulls live on the private in the Snake River bottom anyway. If your not willing to go guided, I would start by doing some research. I have considered trying to draw this unit myself due to the long late season would work well for when i finish guiding in the wilderness area, and the reason i havent is because of the access issues, and I Live in Jackson. Good luck. Definitely big bulls to be had if you can organize some access
Also, if you havent already, Check out http://diyhuntingmaps.com/unit/wy/elk/78/index.html. The map is pretty well updated with the private boundaries, and I would definitely say its worth the 15-20 bucks to order it to help prepare you for the unit and hunt
Thanks so much for the info. The late season and high success ratio had a lot to do with choosing this unit. I'll keep you informed on how it goes. Thanks again!
Since we are on the subject of unit 78 I have always wondered if you can legally float the river and hunt the banks. I have lived in the Jackson area for a number of years and I know of a group of guys that float the river from the Kelly area in a rubber raft and stop a few places on the way and hunt from the bank. They never go far from the bank but almost always shoot great elk in archery season. Please let me know if this is ok or not.
as far as I know for wyoming law, you can float any body of water you want, but you can't really touch the ground if it is private and you don't have permission, now if you wanted to float down to where there is public land off the bank or something, then that is allowed

A big thanks to DtL reader Courtney for tipping me off to these revealing images of top baller Rafael Nadal.
I'm thinking these shots may have been taken at last year's Wimbledon (can anyone confirm?) but, really, who the HELL cares?
O...M...G. These shots are *catches breath* smokin' hot people.
And either his tighty-whiteys are a bit small or Rafa really fills them out in every way. But again, who the HELL cares?! His baller bod is sick.
Rafanatics rejoice!
*keeps staring + faints*

- johanneJanuary 6, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Rich: I'm forever in need of my tall caramel Rafa latte :D And btw, love "Rafaparts"...his name is so fun!ReplyDelete
And to top of these amazing snaps of our fave Spanish baller, he goes out and totally kicks ass in his match today. Hell yes.
Hell, Rich, I'm going to jump my UPS man, even if he doesn't have bj Rafa with him! (He actually is a slightly older, less sculpted version of Rafa.)ReplyDelete
*pictures johanne at work, trying not to squirm, sweating profusely*
There y'all are. You're late. I can't believe I've been hyperventilating alone for HOURS. Well, apart from Rich.ReplyDelete

- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2009 at 1:32 PM
These images are from a video made during Wimbledon 2006, you can see it on YouTube, but you can stare better at his Rafaparts with these picturesReplyDelete
Well, Babz, the problem with my UPS man is he has kids. I have severe allergies to children. So I just flirt like crazy with him. He is so nice and sweet, much like Rafa. I mean, I THINK like Rafa. Who really knows, other than Xisca?ReplyDelete
But an orgasm is an orgasm. Who cares if you give it to yourself? Or Rafa gives it to you via tidy-whitey pix? Love Rafa, Love yourself, Babz! :D
lol oh man, reading through all this made my day...ReplyDelete
O. M. G.ReplyDelete
Now we understand why 26 people have already commented on this post!
Mwahahahaha you Rafanatics crack me up! I love you guys!!ReplyDelete
And now to the pictures (I can't friggin' believe I just saw them today):
JESUS CHRIST. And I'm not even religious.
*sonja looks at Rafa's muscly back and imagines her hands scratching it*
*looks at his underwear and imagines ripping it off*
Oh how he seems to struggle to get those tiny shorts over his ASS-ET. It must be hard to have a body like that. Squeezing that sexy thing into clothes is almost a crime.
Oh my, I need a Raffé Latte now. And DANG I gotta order more stuff delivered by UPS! o_O
As for the anon-guy with the pig comment: Oh jeez, get over yourself! You're the gender the whole porn industry is for, so relax.
I think the "B" in the upper left corner is an older logo the IB3 TV network - http://www.ib3.tv/ReplyDelete
Oops - sorry for the comment spam, but here's a better look at that logo that clearly matches what's in the pictures:ReplyDelete
Very nice to see these shamelessly hot pics of pantsless Rafa again. I love the fire extinguisher in the background...ReplyDelete

In Park City, we get a sneak peek at 2013 model-year bikes from Pivot, Intense, Surly, Ritchey and others.--Ron Koch
Tom Ritchey claims to have made a mountain bike with 27.5-inch wheels way back in 1977. Fast-forward to today and Ritchey unveiled a modern version built around a 100mm-travel fork. The $1,100 P-2.75 frame uses tubes that are similar to the brand's P-29, but the brake mount has been relocated to the chainstay. That allows Ritchey to use lighter seat stays for a more forgiving ride. If you look closely, you can see Ritchey's new 27.5-inch Vantage wheels. The front hub is compatible with 9mm quick-release skewers or 15mm QR axles and the rear accept standard skewers or 142x12mm thru-axles with a conversion kit. The $800 tubeless-ready wheels weigh 1,587-grams. Ritchey has also developed a 27.5 carbon fork, and a full line of 27.5 tires, including the Shield models shown here.

Often derived from sugarcane, glycolic acid is one of nature's most beneficial skin care ingredients. With its small molecular size, glycolic acid offers all of the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) while posing much less risk for irritation than other natural acids. MD Forte has made huge advances in the optimization and delivery of glycolic acid, making their products standout formulas among the large array of glycolic-based topicals on the market today.
When applied to the skin, glycolic acid goes to work on the protein bonds that keep old, damaged skin clinging to newer, healthier tissue. By disrupting these bonds, glycolic acid stimulates the shedding of aged cells, revealing the fresher skin beneath them. This leads to quick improvements in skin radiance and over time provides cumulative benefits for lasting decreases in skin imperfections. Wrinkles and lines become more superficial and less prominent. Hyperpigmentation begins to fade. Clogged pores become purified, and blemishes crop up less frequently on the complexion. These are just some of the benefits that the revolutionary glycolic acid products in the MD Forte collection can provide.

A Little about Me
I am a fourth-year senior in Psychology and Architecture and I currently work on Dr. Lamb's research team over at Emory, where we are studying how nurses coordinate care in the hospital. I'm looking forward to graduating in the spring and I am truly excited about seeing how this class unfolds.
Outside of classes, I have been coaching youth soccer teams (with kids under the age of 6, yes...pure craziness!) for the past four years, as well as serving as an adviser to a freshmen leadership team, Freshman Activities Board (FAB). I also teach several fitness classes at our very own CRC, including cycling and cardio kickboxing.
My other interests include running, photography, reading the newspaper and perusing IKEA catalogs :) My email is ddutcher(a)gatech.edu.
August 21, 2007 | Intro
As the professors for this course were discussing their individual perspectives, some common themes about 'designing for children' (especially when using Hughes Spalding as a model) rose to the forefront:
-- Wide range of users: the range of users in a children's hospital includes both patients + families
-- Decision support: families and patients need better resources when making important decisions in the hospital setting
-- Security: the urban setting of Hughes Spalding presents different security issues than a suburban, non-community hospital
-- Child-friendly environments: the materials, colors, textures, etc. are incredibly important when considering children as the primary users
-- Wow! factor: aiming for a "Wow!" response from children pushes the design team to be creative and innovative
-- Timeliness of care: possibility of transforming the waiting room into another type of environment, where the emphasis is not on the "waiting"
-- Accommodation for all the "stuff" that families bring: ability to accommodate all the toys, clothes, bags, food, other children that families tote along with them
-- Transparency: role of technology in the healing/care-giving processes
-- Building access: how will the family drive up, drop off their belongings, get the kids inside safely, etc?
-- Flexibility: designing for adaptable change
My thoughts:
'Pushing design innovation deeper into the building' is an interesting concept that promotes creativity, innovation, and focus beyond simply the lobby. Innovation can and should happen at the level of the patient room, the nurses' station, the hallways, the operating rooms, the restrooms, the cafeteria. Change at all these levels can really spark a health-care culture revolution.

Suppose one morning your girlfriend leaves you without explanation or forewarning or even cause. You just wake up, and she's gone. It would be wrong to set her apartment on fire, like the gentleman in the famous song by the Beatles does.I was totally puzzled, until I noticed "Norwegian Wood" in the references and then recalled the bit about lighting a fire. I guess I'd always naively supposed the guy lights a fire in the fireplace.
The paper gets a C. Happy end of the semester everyone.
