It helps make sylvan beach a vacation destination. But it has yet to open its doors to visitors - after its owner delaying the opening day twice. Now by the time it's set to open, it will be nearly half-way through the summer season.
"My first roller coaster was this little roller coaster when I was six years old and I was actually surprised when I came here this year and it wasn't open," says Daniel Leon, of Utica.
The sylvan beach amusement park is a staple of this Central New York summer destination. Usually opening on Memorial Day, this year the grand opening was pushed back to June 28. Now, it was pushed back even further to July 4. The owner says it all has to do with profit.
"Even though Memorial Day--if the weather cooperates--can be profitable that weekend there are several weeks or weekends of operations that we operate at a loss. And so for efficiency sake we decided to bring the property to a profitable state," says Doug Waterbury, Empire Attractions.
But regardless of when it will open, some are worried that it still isn't open. They say that this amusement park is a big draw for a lot of people that come here.
"Without this, I think this is completely dead. Because half of the people come here with families so what are they going to do? All the kids want rides and so on and so forth," says Nicholas Zegarelli, of Utica.
The Yesterday's Royal restaurant will also delay opening. And for some who have to Sylvan Beach for years, they say they're hoping the delay won't hurt too much.
"It may be hurting the economy of the town a little bit. But I notice people come here and enjoy the beach," says Norm Knapp, of Utica.
The historic carousel and arcade is open for the season. And for now it will have to be the main attraction.

NewsOK Blogs / On the Pitch
Energy FC chat: Tim McLaughlin, Bob Funk Jr. and Chris Brannick talk opening weekend
11:06 a.m. Ready to talk Energy FC soccer? Chris Brannick will be on at noon with Energy FC principal owner Tim McLaughlin and team partner Bob Funk Jr. to discuss the upcoming home opener on Saturday. It's never too early to start asking questions for the trio, so get them in here.
11:07 a.m. And while you wait, take our Energy FC quiz to determine which position you would play for OKC's hottest new team: http://bit.ly/1lvYTWe
11:58 a.m. How big of a presence do you think professional soccer can eventually have in OKC? This has always been a football/basketball dominated town. Can soccer get a piece of that pie?
12:03 p.m. Bob: Oklahoma City is in a true period of renaissance right now. We believe that soccer is an integral part of the sports community at large. As our city becomes more global, so do the citizen's interests. Soccer follows that trend.
12:06 p.m. Tim: The response to the team has exceeded our expectations. A good example was our final preseason friendly in Yukon in late March. We had more than 3,000 in attendance.
12:08 p.m. First season and currently sitting in the top half of the standings -- not too shabby. What do you realistically see this team being capable of this season?
12:11 p.m. Tim: As an ownership group, we expect the best possible lineup we can put on the pitch each game. We're confident in our head coach Jimmy Nielsen and the team he's assembled. The results through the first four games have us excited about the prospects for the remainder of the season. As they continue to practice and play together, the team will continue to excel.
12:13 p.m. Chris: Keep those questions coming!
12:14 p.m. Along those lines, what does this brand of soccer offer the casual fan. I know a lot of die-hards that are super excited about the team, but I'm not the huge soccer fan they are.
12:17 p.m. Bob: For the casual fan, attending a game live is a one-of-a-kind experience. It's fast. Once the clock starts, the action is non-stop. The passion of the crowd is contagious. For the seasoned fan, the experience will be authentic.
12:18 p.m. What if OKC gets an MLS team? What will that mean for Energy FC?
12:27 p.m. Tim: All the decisions we've made to this point, and moving forward, have been with the goal of getting OKC an MLS team. The naming of the team is a perfect example. Even the process of determining the mark included evaluations of how that mark would fit compared to existing MLS teams/logos. But in order to get there, we will need the full support of everyone in the community (city leaders, soccer community, business community...you).
12:29 p.m. What are the players saying about OKC? Any different than they expected?
12:31 p.m. Bob: The players have had nothing but fantastic things to say about Oklahoma City and the organization. Players that have played in other cities are raving about it. Oklahoma City is a great place for a young, 20-something person to be living and working.
12:32 p.m. Have players visited the OKC memorial?
12:33 p.m. Tim: They have a plan to attend the memorial as a team in the near future. We're confident that will give them another connection to Oklahoma City.
12:33 p.m. What type of activities and promotions will you have for young children attending games? I'd like for my kids to fall in love with soccer, and I hope the games will keep them thoroughly entertained.
12:34 p.m. Bob: Growing the game at the youth level is important. Before our games, we are partnering with Chesapeake Energy for our pregame party on the lawn from 4 - 6 p.m. Even if you don't attend the game, there are activities for fans of all ages.
12:35 p.m. Ordered tickets for the home opener on 4/1/14, asked to have them mailed to my home (I wanted the physical ticket to keep for historical purposes), but have yet to receive my tickets in the mail. Are tickets still being mailed out this week? Thanks for any info!
12:36 p.m. Bob: Contact Sam at our office at 235-KICK.
12:38 p.m. Since the Energy is 2-2 so far, how do you expect the season opener to go?
12:40 p.m. Tim: It's exciting to open our home schedule with the defending USL PRO champion Orlando City SC. They are moving to MLS in 2015. We expect a good match and hopefully a positive result for Energy FC!
12:41 p.m. What kind of support has Energy FC management received from SKC?
12:43 p.m. Bob: We've received a tremendous amount of cooperation from our partners in Kansas City. In runs the full spectrum from player support, coaching support, scouting reports, marketing and operational expertise. The support has been outstanding.
12:43 p.m. Can you tell us the difference between the Energy and the NASL team that seems to still be coming to town?
12:44 p.m. Chris: Oklahoma City Energy FC plays in the United Soccer League's Pro Division. The NASL (North American Soccer League) is a different league.
12:45 p.m. What can the average fan do, outside of attending games, to help this organization get to MLS?
12:46 p.m. Tim: Be an adamant supporter of the club. In order for us to achieve our ultimate goal of getting to the MLS every one has to pull from the same end of the rope.
12:47 p.m. I've heard that the home opener is sold out. what is the capacity for the games held at Mcguiness' stadium?
12:49 p.m. Chris: Capacity is 3,741. Currently there is limited seating availability for the home opener. Call 235-KICK for more information.
12:50 p.m. So is the USL a better league than NASL?
12:54 p.m. Bob: Five of the last six MLS teams have come from USL PRO. It's not about the league and which is better, it's about working together and the USL PRO is the first best step to achieve the ultimate goal of becoming a member of MLS.
12:54 p.m. Does the team support any local nonprofits?
12:58 p.m. Tim: Fields and Futures is the primary non-profit organization of OKC Energy FC. Fields and Futures goal is to provide new and updated fields and facilities for schools in OKCPS. That includes 11 new soccer fields in OKCPS. The team will then take part in clinics and other activities to enrich the lives of those students.
1:00 p.m. Chris: Thank you to everyone for joining us today. Tim and Bob appreciate all of the support and interest in Energy FC. If you want to ask more questions you can via twitter @EnergyFC and @chrisbrannick85. Thanks again!

The bilge pumps failed, the restaurant tipped and dropped to the shallow bottom while its piano floated around the cocktail lounge.
ON THE FRIDAY morning of June 8, 1956, the graduating seniors of Bellevue High School were served a "pirate breakfast" aboard the Four Winds floating restaurant at the southwest corner of Lake Union. By then, many of the 194 seniors were surely nodding after an "All Night Party" of movies, dancing Dixieland and a nightclub show at Seattle's Town and Country Club. All was paid for by their parents, who also served as chaperones.
For the seniors, the pirate theme was extended that morning with gifts of jewelry, aka booty. For the city, the thieves' theme was marked by what the eccentric restaurant's management advertised as their "huge pirate atop the ship Four Winds, Headquarters for the Seattle Seafair Pirates."
Ron Edge found a print of this years ago in Bernie's antique shop on Bothell Way before Bernie closed the shop for good. Ron Jensen, the photographer, is listed in the 1956 City Directory as a City Light photographer, and herein lies an irony. On July 22, 1966, the Surfside 9 (its last name) sank into Lake Union for want of paying City Light. When the bilge pumps failed, the restaurant tipped and dropped to the shallow bottom while its piano floated around the cocktail lounge.
Built in Everett in 1900 as the City of Everett, the long-lived mosquito fleet steamer was later widened into the auto ferry Ballard for Puget Sound crossings to Port Ludlow.

The Four Winds, aka Surfside 9, will be remembered by many magazine readers because the sunken vessel rusted and rotted until lifted in 1972 by Mason Construction's floating derrick, the Viking. In the environmental spirit then prevalent, Mason donated the Viking's labor and the Army Corps contributed two haul-away barges. The Corps buried the pieces in a landfill near Everett.

Alpaca: It's what's for dinner!?
Over the last decade, small herds of alpaca have sprung up across the country as the price of choice breeding stock skyrocketed. An award-winning animal would routinely fetch five- or even six-figure amounts on the market and, as a result, entrepreneurs nationwide invested in what seemed like a lucrative business.
Much like in its native Peru, alpaca fiber is prized in the U.S. for use in blankets and apparel. However, one Peruvian custom has not emigrated with the animals: alpaca as a food source.
One Minnesota couple is hoping to change all that.
A couple of years ago, Roger and Gina Welck, a former 14-year Frito-Lay employee and a surgical nurse, respectively, tired of the corporate rat race and city life. They relocated from the suburbs to a tidy farmstead near Princeton and embarked on a new life as alpaca ranchers.
The Welcks invested greatly in this new business, spurred by the market's high prices. But they watched as the nation's economy--and by extension, the alpaca market-- suffered a blow from which neither have yet fully recovered. While blue-ribbon animals continued to reap high amounts on the market, the average price sank significantly.
Another issue was the limited fiber-harvesting years of even the finest animals. An alpaca has only a handful of years of commercial-quality fiber production and only a couple more years of breeding ability. That combination was taking its toll on the ranchers, diverting time and resources away from the still profitable alpacas.
Faced with a dramatically different environment than they had envisioned, Roger and Gina chose to create their own market opportunities. Besides the wool, they recognized potential in the untapped alpaca meat market and started researching the possibility. High in iron and low in fat and cholesterol, alpaca meat proved to be a viable alternative to beef, lamb, and pork.
Australian breeders had already introduced the concept to the English-speaking world when they began marketing alpaca meat as a delicacy to gourmets and foodies Down Under a few years ago under the brand name LaViande.

The Welcks have encountered some resistance to their ideas, mostly from other breeders. Since the average U.S. herd numbered around a dozen, many other alpaca owners had come to view their animals less as livestock and more as pets. As a result, Roger confesses, "I've gotten a couple of angry emails." This is despite the fact that alpacas would seem to be horrible pets, being very aloof and relatively affectionless animals.
Through the La Pacos website, Roger and Gina have already begun processing orders from as far away as California. This summer, they are planning to offer their products at the Mill City and Minneapolis Farmers Markets. The Hot Dish imagines it's only a matter of time before State Fair-goers are daring each other to try the alpaca-meatball-on-a-stick.
We visited the ranch and brought back lots of pictures... and lots of meat.

Twisted Suri Alpaca Ranch- produces a wide range of products, from alpaca fiber yarn and rugs to smoked dog bones and fertilizer. "We try not to waste anything," Roger says, "We're looking at apparel grade leather in the future. We might be the first in the U.S. to do that too."

Raj Singh Arora is super excited about his new serial 'Four'. He is all set to play one of the the leads in it which is a story of four young men and women coming of age in a small town. He plays an interesting character of a bike loving dreamer who wants to make it big and quick. The cherry on the cake is the news of his nomination of 'Favourite beta' award for playing Ashu in Kahani Ghar Ghar ki in Star Parivar Awards. We caught up with this handsome spontaneous actor famous for his luscious mane.
How does it feel to be nominated for the Star parivar Awards?
Raj: ( whopping with joy) This is my very first nomination, it's for kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, it's 'best beta' and I am sure all the remix fans are go 'aaaaaaannnnn' but no, for me it means a lot and you must understand that I have been playing this role of Ashu for about four to six months and that's it. Most of the people who get nominated are playing these roles for years and years. I came from playing Yuvi ( In Remix on Star One) to playing Ashu . When I went to Balaji a lot of people spoke with disrespect but I have an immense respect for Balaji and Ekta and I approached this role with a lot of seriousness. The rewards are finally here and I am damned kicked about it !
Coming to your new serial 'Four', mention three adjectives you would use to describe the new character you would be playing.
Raj: He is fun, he is crazy and very lovable.
Any similarity between the character you are playing and the real life Raj Singh Arora?
Raj: Not really apart from the fact that once upon a time I had a crazy love and passion for motorcycles and that's the one common thing that Rattu, the character I am playing, has with me in the new show 'Four'. He is an absolutely bike crazy freak.
One thing about this role you absolutely love.
It's for the first time I have got the genuine opportunity to do really out there American Style Body comedy.
Do catch up Raj on an exclusive chit chat with me only at India-Forums.com later this week. We wish him good luck and hope that unlike the promises that other such serials made, this one manages to keep it by touching the sensibilities of the common man and we identify with it. Best of luck Raj !

Ordering will resume for Fedco Bulbs when we release our 2016 catalog, in mid-June 2016.
Plant Amaryllis between October and May for flowering between December and June
If you do not plant your bulb immediately, store it in a dry dark cool area (45-50°F.)
Before planting, place the bulb and its dangling roots in lukewarm water for several hours. Plant in a pot slightly larger than the diameter of the bulb. Rocks added to the bottom of the pot will decrease tippiness and improve drainage. Cover the bulb to the neck with nutritious potting soil or compost. Press the soil firmly around the bulb. Don't overfill the pot; leave enough room for watering.
Or, place the bulb in a clear vase with 1" of decorative stones or glass for ballast. Fill vase with water just high enough to keep the roots covered.
In the first few weeks, water sparingly. After the leaves and bud-stalk emerge, water more frequently. Direct sunlight and warm temperatures encourage proper growth. Lower light and temperature results in taller stems, whereas greater light and temperature promotes shorter stems. Amaryllis generally bloom 6 to 8 weeks after planting; the flowers last nearly 2 weeks.
Cut the stem close to the bulb after the flower fades. The long strap-like leaves will continue to grow, and will need regular feeding with some good bulb fertilizer to promote bulb size and strength. Once the danger of frost has passed, the plant can be moved outdoors. In late summer, stop watering and allow the leaves to die back (or let the first light frost kill them off). Before the first hard frost, bring potted plants back inside and place in a cool dry dark place for 8 to 12 weeks to simulate dormancy.
Bring the bulb back to room temperature, resume watering, and its flowering cycle will begin again.

Dozens of failed Tamil asylum seekers who were due to be sent back to Sri Lanka on Thursday can stay in Britain after a court blocked their deportation over fears of torture, their lawyers said.
The High Court in London blocked the deportations at a last-minute hearing on Wednesday pending investigations into claims that the Tamils could face abuse if they were sent back to Sri Lanka.
Solicitor Kulasegaram Geetharthanan said the case involved some 40 Tamils, some of whom had links to the Tamil Tiger rebels who were finally crushed by Sri Lankan government forces in 2009 after more than three decades of civil war.
"Their cases are now being reviewed," he told AFP.
"There is a lot of evidence that these people could face torture if they are sent back."
The Sri Lankan government denies allegations that Tamils who have previously been sent home have been abused.
The UK Border Agency said it was "disappointed" by the ruling and would appeal against it.
"The ruling does not represent a blanket ban on returns to Sri Lanka," a spokesman added.
Geetharthanan, who is representing five of the Tamil asylum seekers, said his clients were currently being held in immigration detention centres and would apply for bail in the next week.
This is believed to be the first time that a British court has blocked the deportation of a group of Tamils to Sri Lanka, although many individuals have won similar cases over the last two years.
An estimated 100,000 people were killed between 1972 and May 2009, when security forces declared victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels who were fighting for an independent homeland.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch group alleged on Wednesday that Sri Lankan security forces continue to use rape and other forms of sexual violence to torture suspected Tamil rebels nearly four years after the end of the war.
Sri Lanka's military dismissed the HRW report but said there had been five cases of sexual violence alleged to have been committed by seven soldiers between 2007 and May 2009, the height of fighting during the war.

Thread 3 -- Extreme Corsair Frio Advance Cpu cooler for Intel Core i5
Tags -- corsair, cpu cooler, heatsink
Looking for extreme cooling solution for your overclocking system, have a look on Corsair Frio. It supports Intel Socket LGA2011/1366/1156/1155/775. Made for Intel Core i Series and AMD platform you can add this air cooler to make your system more better. It does not matter you are overclocking your system or not, you need a good cooling fan to keep your system stable. The fan which comes with cpu, is made to give you average use. The fan supports 230w power to draw maximum heat out of your system. Even if you are overclocking you can stay a bit less worried on the same. The entire kit is designed with 5 heat-pipe and a wide 13cm fan. Thought it is a bit big in designs which makes it uncomfortable for smaller cabinet. The price of this cpu cooler is around $69.99. It is much better and awesome compared to your regular cooler. As you can see the image below the fan occupies a great space on a motherboard. On the same hand it actually covers the entire processor go remove the heat out of in best way. Intel processors like Core i5 or i7 support overclocking. You can boot the system performance by increasing the existing clock rate. The current fan is controlled by bios. When the heat rises bios automatically increase the fan speed to keep the cpu cooler.
To some extent this process is a bit traditional. Sometime due to certain flaw the cpu remains heated inside which degrades it life. One thing you must know that when you are overclocking lack of cooling hardware can reduce your cpu life and it can get damaged withing couple of year of usage. Fortunately there is warranty on the processor, but it is void if you overclock. It is better if you remain protected before by adding a good piece of hardware. Cpu cooler are always ignored when you by a computer. Most of us think that the current fan is quiet powerful and will work for longer period. Cpu likes Intel Core i5/i7 operates on higher frequency and on the same hand they are designed to remain cooler on minimum power usage. But while playing games or using any resource intensive software, the processor works on greater speed. At that point the fan only handles heating issue. If somehow the existing fan fails the system will be turned off automatically.
This is the short consequences that can appear to anyone. Corsair Frio is a new cooler which has 5 x Ø6 mm heat-pipes which connects directly to the cpu upper part. Check the image below. There are 5 pipes connected to the lower edge which passes are connected to larger aluminum fins to draw heat out from the cpu easily. On both the sides there are two 13cm fan attached which ensures the regular airflow. The fans needs good powe so it is recommended that you must upgrade your existing if it is below 400w. Other than there is a high quality thermal paste in the kit. This paste is designed to draw heat out from the cpu towards the fan so that it can stay cooler. The aluminum fins in the center are quiet large to absorb maximum heat. Corsair had added 2 fans to the kit ensuring that you get maximum power to keep your system cooler. As the entire cpu cooler is quiet big, it does not means that it will generate more noise. It remains calm under minimum operation. The fitting is not complicated also. It comes with a universal socket compatibility which fits on maximum board easily. The cooler design a bit different with others which gives your system a very distinct look. A combination of red and black makes it more attractive. There is a short specification list below which indicates on which cpu socket the fan can work. Also there are certain information related to the elements used inside it.

5D3 shutter count without the camera on-hand
Anyone know how to get shutter count on the 5D3 without the camera on hand? I have RAWs and jpegs, but do not have the camera with me at the moment.
All the current methods seem to require having the camera tethered to get the count...

"The night they invented Champagne ... they thought of you and me. ... No woman or a man has ever been as happy as we are tonight." — From 1958's "Gigi," starring Leslie Caron.
However, for your information, all that bubbles is not Champagne. Effervescent wines are made all over the world, but authentic Champagnes, spelled with a capital "C," come only from a designated area 90 miles northeast of Paris. It is France's nethermost wine-growing region, consisting of some 75,000 acres cultivating three principal grapes: chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier.
So Ron, if the rest of those sparkling wines are not made in France, what are they called? Dear reader, you answered your own question: They are "sparkling wines." The delightful tiny bubbles are the result of a second fermentation that takes place within the bottle.
Remember the simple formula for making wine: yeast + sugar = carbon dioxide and alcohol. Anecdotal history relates how a Benedictine monk named Dom Pérignon discovered quite by accident the secret of making still wine sparkle, and is reputed to have exclaimed at the moment of tasting, "I think I am drinking stars."
The way winemakers get the wine to fizz begins with a process called "riddling." The bottles of still wines are put into a framework and ever-so-slowly turned while positioned upside down. This allows the suspended yeasts to accumulate at the bottom of the thick glass containers. Riddling can be done by hand, but today most Champagne makers use machines.
At long last, when the accumulated yeasts ("lees") have finally settled, the bottles are dipped into a freezing brine solution — a process called "disgorging." The bottle is then quickly held upright, blowing out the remaining plug of solids. Immediately it is topped off with a mixture of more wine and sugar, capped with an expanding cork, and caged with a bit of wire to prevent explosions. The amount of sugar added to this final mixture (the "dosage") will determine the level of sweetness of the Champagne or sparkling wine.
After all this effort, Champagnes are classified by the degree of sweetness (residual sugar) starting with the driest, brut, on to extra-dry (actually a tad sweeter.) There are sweeter Champagnes, but we don't see them here. A small percentage of Champagnes today are labeled "sauvage" or ultra-brut, all of which are bone dry. Zero sugar is added. When I can find them, they are my preference — clean, crisp and enjoyable.
The orthodox technique of making Champagne or sparkling wine is called "Methode Champenoise," even for those fizzy wines made in the United States. It is a laborious process, and one of the reasons the stuff is so expensive. There are other ways to make wine sparkle, but they do not concern us here.
Champagne is not simply one wine, but actually comes in a range of flavors, from light (Lanson), light to medium (Taittenger), medium (Piper-Heidsick), medium to full (Veuve-Cliquot) and full (Louis Roederer).
All of these will run from about $25 to $50, and are NV or non-vintage. Vintage Champagne with the harvest date listed on the label will average about $50 and up, and I have never found them to be worth the extra price. Finally, there is the top-seeded premium or "prestige cuvée," such as Krug, Dom Pérignon, and Cristal, which run into hundreds of dollars.
I mentioned above that Champagne is made using three types of grapes, and 90 percent are this sort. "Blanc de blancs" Champaign is made entirely from white Chardonnay grapes. "Blanc de noir" is created from red grapes such as pinot noir (remember, the juice is a neutral color), and finally we move on to find the aristocratic rosés, considered by connoisseurs to be the "crème de la crème," fashioned from blends of red and white grapes employing the skins to provide color and added flavor.
All this said, if you do not have a craving for the real McCoy, there is first-rate sparkling wine from California — dozens of them, in fact — and well as cava from Spain, and Italian spumante. Just ask the wine consultants to help. These good folks are happy to assist.
Bev and I wish a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you and yours. Bottoms up!

I'm experimenting with TDD and C. I'd like to write a simple malloc wrapper following a TDD approach. I'm trying to follow Bob Martin's Three laws of TDD
- Do not write production code unless it is to make a failing unit test pass.
- Do not write more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail, and build failures are failures.
- Do not write more production code than is sufficient to pass the one failing unit test.
This is my code up until now:
J_STATUS MemAlloc(long Size, void **OutPtr) {
J_STATUS ReturnStatus;
void *Ptr;
Ptr = NULL;
if (Size >= 0) {
Ptr = malloc(Size);
*OutPtr = Ptr;
ReturnStatus = SUCCESS;
//TODO controllare malloc error
} else {
ReturnStatus = ERROR;
return ReturnStatus;
And these are my tests (I'm using Unity test framework):
#include "../unity/unity.h"
#include "../src/jMem.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
static int *ptr;
static J_STATUS Result;
static long Size;
static long Count;
void setUp() {
ptr = NULL;
Size = 10;
Count = 5;
void tearDown() {
if (ptr != NULL) {
void test_MemAllocShouldAllocateMemoryAndReturnSuccess(void) {
Result = MemAlloc(Size, (void **) &ptr);
TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(SUCCESS, Result);
void test_MemAllocShouldReturnErrorIfSizeIsNegative(void) {
Size = -4;
Result = MemAlloc(Size, (void **) &ptr);
TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(ERROR, Result);
Now how do I write a test for a failing malloc? I know I can link a different version of malloc or I could write a macro to make malloc fail, but this should be true only for this test, while in the other I want to use the real malloc.
Any idea? Thank you

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery have been shown to benefit selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, these procedures are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Available data investigating the outcomes of HIPEC are mostly limited to single-center studies. To date, there have been few large-scale studies investigating the postoperative outcomes of HIPEC.
To determine the associated 30-day morbidity and mortality of cytoreductive surgery–HIPEC in the treatment of metastatic and primary peritoneal cancer in American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program centers.
Design, Setting, and Participants
A retrospective review of HIPEC cases performed for primary and metastatic peritoneal cancer diagnoses was conducted. The cytoreductive surgical procedures were sampled, and disease processes were identified. Patient demographics, intraoperative occurrences, and postoperative complications were reviewed from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2005-2011.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Thirty-day mortality and morbidity.
Of the cancers identified among the 694 sampled cases, 14% of patients had appendiceal cancer, 11% had primary peritoneal cancer, and 8% had colorectal cancer. The American Society of Anesthesiologists classification was 3 for 70% of patients. The average operative time was 7.6 hours, with 15% of patients requiring intraoperative transfusions. Postoperative bleeding (17%), septic shock (16%), pulmonary complications (15%), and organ-space infections (9%) were the most prevalent postoperative complications. The average length of stay was 13 days, with a 30-day readmission rate of 11%. The rate of reoperation was 10%, with an overall mortality rate of 2%.
Conclusions and Relevance
American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program hospitals performing HIPEC have acceptable rates of morbidity and mortality.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is defined as tumor dissemination inside the abdominal cavity secondary to tumors arising from the peritoneal surface or from visceral organs. Dissemination is a result of uncontrolled proliferation of the primary tumor, which allows the tumor cells to exfoliate and circulate within the peritoneal fluid, allowing for an exponential progression of disease given the lack of growth inhibition in the newly implanted peritoneal metastases. Tumor cell implantation on other visceral organs and bowel, mesentery, and peritoneal surfaces ultimately leads to malnutrition, bowel obstruction, and death.1,2
Peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastrointestinal cancers has traditionally been viewed as not amenable to surgical treatment. It has been considered the terminal stage of disease, and median survival has been reported as 6 to 12 months with systemic chemotherapy.3- 6 In fact, palliative systemic chemotherapy has shown good tumor response but without improvement in survival.7 Surgical options for the treatment of PC were popularized in the 1990s by Sugarbaker,8 who advocated the use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS), including peritonectomy, in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), to treat peritoneal surface neoplasms. Cytoreductive surgery–HIPEC has been shown to increase survival in selected patients with colorectal, appendiceal, and primary peritoneal cancers5,9- 12 in phase 2 and 3 trials.12- 14
Cytoreductive surgery, in combination with perioperative HIPEC, is an aggressive form of locoregional therapy.15 Cytoreduction involves leaving no or only minimal residual tumor volume within the abdomen. Following surgery, HIPEC is used to bathe the peritoneal cavity with a heated solution containing high chemotherapeutic drug concentrations. The pharmacokinetic advantages of the intraperitoneal route of chemotherapy permit increased drug concentrations and locally dosed intensive therapy, in addition to its synergistic effects with hyperthermia.7,12 Hyperthermia exerts its own cytotoxicity against malignant cells and facilitates greater tissue penetration of antineoplastic agents.16,17 For these reasons, HIPEC, in combination with CRS, is believed to achieve macroscopic and microscopic disease clearance and hence possibly improve survival.7,12
Despite the promise of improved survival in patients with PC, HIPEC is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although there exists a growing body of literature regarding survival benefits, to our knowledge, specific morbidity and mortality data are only reported in a few publications. In this study, we present a review of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) cases of CRS-HIPEC, and their associated morbidity and mortality in the treatment of metastatic and primary peritoneal cancer.
The ACS NSQIP is the first nationally validated, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care. The program provides more than 500 participating hospitals with data on preoperative risk factors, intraoperative variables, and 30-day postoperative mortality and morbidity for patients undergoing major surgical procedures in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Each participating hospital has a dedicated surgical clinical nurse reviewer who captures these data using a variety of methods including medical record abstraction. Full description of the ACS NSQIP is available on the NSQIP website.18 Approval for the use of the ACS NSQIP database for this study was obtained from the institutional review board of the University of California, Irvine, and the ACS NSQIP. Patient data were deidentified; therefore, exempt institutional review board approval was granted.
The ACS NSQIP was retrospectively reviewed for all cases of HIPEC between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2011, using the appropriate American Medical Association Current Procedure Terminology codes. We analyzed the available data on all patients who underwent HIPEC with concurrent cytoreductive cases. The ACS NSQIP only provides data on procedures occurring under the same anesthesia. Therefore, all cases reviewed underwent HIPEC concurrently with an associated cytoreductive procedure. To ensure that we captured concurrent cases, patients were selected only if they had undergone HIPEC and another specified procedural code. Patients who underwent HIPEC (codes 77605, 96445, and 96446) were selected. The number of patients who underwent tumor debulking (codes 49203 and 49204), colectomy (codes 44204, 44210, and 45216), pelvic exenteration (code 45126), peritonectomy (code 39560), splenectomy (code 38100), gastrectomy (codes 43611, 43620, 43621, 43631, and 43633), omentectomy (code 49255), small-bowel resection (codes 44120 and 44121), and small-bowel biopsy (code 44110) were analyzed. The appropriate diagnostic code as specified by the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification was used to select the percentage of patients with rectal cancer (codes 154.0, 154.1, 154.8, 197.5, 209.17, and 230.4), colon cancer (codes 153.0, 153.1, 153.2, 153.3, 153.4, 153.6, 153.7, 153.8, and 153.9), and appendiceal cancer (code 153.5). Pathologies were selected based on recent literature validating the use of HIPEC and CRS.7,12
The variables used were provided by the NSQIP database and included patient demographics (age and sex), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, functional status, and comorbid conditions. Body mass index was calculated based on the available data points of weight and height. The operative variables available included intraoperative transfusion, wound classification, operative time, anesthesia time, and intraoperative occurrences. Intraoperative occurrences included cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, and unplanned intubation. Variables with a high percentage of missing data were excluded from the analysis.
The primary aim of our study was to provide the latest description of outcomes of patients undergoing HIPEC. Our primary end points were overall 30-day morbidity and mortality. We also reported the outcomes with respect to length of stay and postoperative complications, which included cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, superficial surgical site infections, deep surgical site infections, organ/space surgical site infections, wound disruption, urinary tract infections, progressive renal insufficiency, acute renal failure, deep venous thrombosis, sepsis, septic shock, return to the operating room within 30 days of the index operation, and readmission rates. Progressive renal insufficiency was defined in the ACS NSQIP as an increase in creatinine of more than 2 mg/dL from preoperative value. Acute renal failure was defined as patients who require dialysis postoperatively and did not do so prior to admission. Readmission rates are available in the 2011 data set only and capture readmission to a surgical service within 30 days of the index operation.
Data extraction and statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.3 and the R Statistical Environment. Predictive models for respiratory complications, septic shock, and return to the operating room were built based on Lasso algorithm.19 Predictive and protective variables were selected from the training data set and 10-fold cross-validation along with the 1-SE rule were used on the validation set to select for model size and control for over fitting. Receiver operating characteristic curve with area under the curve statistic was used on the validation set.
A total of 694 cases of patients who underwent HIPEC with CRS were sampled. Pathological type was identified in 226 patients (32.6%). Of the pathologies sampled, appendiceal cancer was noted in 43% of patients, primary peritoneal cancer in 32%, and colorectal cancer in 24%. The mean patient age was 55 years, and females comprised 54% of patients. Most patients were ASA class 3 (70%) and ASA class 2 (24%). Most patients had independent functional status (49%); however, 50% of cases were missing this variable (Table 1). Cytoreductive surgery was identified in 82% of patients, with omentectomy and small-bowel resections coded as the most often concomitant procedures (Table 2). Patient comorbidities are listed in Table 3.
Postoperative bleeding requiring transfusion (17%), sepsis/septic shock (16%), and respiratory complications (15%) were the most prevalent complications (Table 4). Average operative time was 455 minutes, and anesthesia time was 547 minutes. There was 1 intraoperative occurrence (unplanned intubation), and 15% of patients required an intraoperative transfusion (Table 5). Overall mortality was 2.3%, with 9.8% returning to the operating room. Mortality was most likely to occur after postoperative day 17, with the exception of 1 patient with colon cancer who died within 6 days of operation. The Lasso algorithm did not demonstrate any strong predictors of mortality and morbidity given the low number of patients with mortality.
The management of PC is the subject of ongoing debate between those who support the use of an aggressive surgical intervention with intraperitoneal chemotherapy and those practitioners who favor the use of systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery, combined with HIPEC, can offer improved long-term survival and could possibly be a curative procedure in a select group of patients with surface tumor especially those with good performance status and low volume of disease as measured by the peritoneal cancer index.5,7 However, the oncology community continues to hesitate on the role of HIPEC because of the lack of large prospective clinical trials demonstrating improved survival compared with current systemic chemotherapeutic regimens.1 Resistance to the adoption of CRS-HIPEC is also owing to the inherently complex nature of this procedure, which results in high rates of morbidity and mortality.1,7,12 Therefore, improved patient selection and technique for this procedure have been advocated. Although it has been hypothesized that at high-volume centers postoperative morality should be less than 1%,15 the larger studies in the literature report an approximately 4% to 8% mortality rate.12,17,20,21 In this study, we showed that the overall reported mortality (2.3%) and morbidity (33%) at ACS NSQIP centers were in line with, and possibly lower than, what were reported in other large institutional case series.
Possible explanations for these apparently decreased rates of mortality in the ACS NSQIP are shorter study period and participation within the ACS NSQIP. This study was conducted over 6 years as opposed to longer periods described in other publications.17,20,21 The longer study periods do not account for change in practices, newer generation of chemotherapeutic regimens available, and advances in surgical technique, critical care, and anesthesiology. This evolution in surgical management and technique may have influenced our reported outcomes. Participation within the ACS NSQIP may also reflect that these operations may have been performed in high-volume centers with specific HIPEC programs. There may also be a bias toward hospitals with an emphasis on outcome-improvement practices given their participation in the ACS NSQIP.
This snapshot into the practices of participating centers within the ACS NSQIP demonstrates the acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity associated with this complex procedure. The main cause of death after CRS-HIPEC is attributed to sepsis followed by respiratory complications.12,20 Abdominal sepsis, anastomotic leak, and intestinal fistulas were the most commonly reported complications in most large series.12,17,21,22 The ACS NSQIP centers also reported septic complications, respiratory complications, and rate of reoperation as the most common causes of morbidity. The overall rate of septic complications in this study was 16%, with 4% of patients exhibiting septic shock. This is higher than the organ space infection rate (9%), which may in fact more precisely capture anastomotic leaks and enteric fistulas. Respiratory complications after CRS-HIPEC are common given the resuscitation required to keep up with the hemodynamic demands of the procedure.23 The massive fluid shifts may cause an increased incidence of reintubation, need for prolonged ventilator support, and increased incidence of pulmonary interventions. Overall, respiratory complications were the third most common cause of morbidity in our series of patients at 15%. This included a 5% rate of pneumonia, 5% rate of unplanned intubations, and 5% rate of need for prolonged ventilator support. We did not find any preoperative and intraoperative patient risk factors that may have influenced respiratory complications. In a retrospective review of 76 HIPEC cases, Arakelian et al4 reported on specific respiratory outcomes and interventions. Their findings were consistent with our results, with a reported 15% rate of pulmonary complications. They found that PC index and ASA class correlated with the presence of pleural effusions. They also reported that only 16% of patients required intervention with thoracocentesis or chest tube. They concluded that the high rate of respiratory complications are common but do not affect postoperative recovery.
Most patients in the ACS NSQIP were younger than the age of 65 years, which has been found to be a positive prognostic indicator of survival,7,20,21 and this is consistent with the average reported age of 55 years in the literature.12,17,20,21 Most of the sampled patients had an ASA class 3 status, which constitutes patients with severe systemic disease. However, most of our patients were functionally independent at the time of their operation. Despite systemic disease, the members of the selected group of patients at ACS NSQIP hospitals were deemed good candidates in regard to their functional status. Patient selection is extremely important given the physiological demands of CRS-HIPEC on an individual. The morbidity and mortality of CRS-HIPEC result from the combined effects of cytoreduction and the physiological insult of the intraoperative chemotherapy. A large intraabdominal dissection area with combination of peritonectomy can cause massive fluid losses. Systemic hyperthermia required during HIPEC can also result in hemodynamic changes that may result in moderate blood loss, peripheral vasodilation, and massive fluid shifts.24,25 This change in the physiological demands of the patient can increase morbidity and mortality.
There are 3 large cases series and 1 randomized prospective study in the literature that reported on the postoperative outcomes of CRS-HIPEC. A prospective randomized Dutch study observed a mortality rate of 8% for colorectal PC, with enteric fistulas as the most common cause of morbidity.12 Despite the high reported morality rates, Verwaal et al12 reported an improved median survival of 21 months (by a factor of 2) when comparing HIPEC-CRS with systemic chemotherapy. Larger series have shown lower rates of mortality. In a retrospective study of 501 patients over a 15-year period, the reported morbidity and mortality rates were 43% and 4.3%, respectively.17 This was confirmed by Glehen et al21 in a multicenter review of 506 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent HIPEC over a 15-year period, which found a 4% mortality rate with septic shock as the most common cause of death. They reported a 10.7% reoperation rate and a 23% major postoperative complication rate, with fistulas as the most common complication (8.3%). The authors concluded that a more extensive cytoreduction correlates with an increased risk for morbidity and mortality. This was confirmed again by a larger multi-institutional French study including 1290 patients over an 18-year period. They reported 4% mortality, with enteric fistulas (9%) and pneumonia (9%) as the most common causes of morbidity. They demonstrated a reoperation rate at 14%.20 The current study showed a reoperation rate of 9.6%, with a 30-day readmission rate of 11%. Our mortality rates were lower by a factor of 2 compared with the larger studies. We were unable to identify specific factors that predict morbidity and/or mortality given the small number of patients with morbidity and mortality and the limitations of the administrative data available.
The ACS NSQIP database restricts information to 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality, thus complications and readmission data are unknown because repeated hospital admissions for the same patient cannot be linked. Furthermore, long-term outcomes and survival rates are not available. There is no information as to the nature of reoperation nor of the extent of cytoreduction. We were also not able to discern whether patients received postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy; our data only captured intraoperative chemotherapy at the time of cytoreduction. We did not have information on the chemotherapeutic agents used and/or the timing of HIPEC during the operation. The ACS NSQIP does not provide any data points with regard to hematological complications. It is also not possible to discern the exact number of centers within the participating hospitals that perform HIPEC. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, this study is one of the largest to date to analyze 30-day morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent HIPEC and CRS. In fact, it is the only large study in the literature providing this information through a short study period, which may adjust for temporal trends.
Given the low survival of PC, CRS, in combination with HIPEC, has been shown to offer patients a chance for long-term survival. We used a large nationwide database to demonstrate that the overall mortality and morbidity rates associated with HIPEC-CRS are acceptable. In fact, the mortality rate of 2.3% is lower than some of the larger series in literature. Although the resultant morbidity is not negligible, with good patient selection, this modality appears to be overall safe and effective in experienced hands.

Trainwreck (2015)
Trainwreck SynopsisNo contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow. Hits as varied as those hes directed, like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and those hes produced, like Superbad and Bridesmaids, are all unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world.
Apatow has also built a history of helping break distinctive new comedy voices into the mainstream, from Seth Rogen to Lena Dunham among many others. Now, in his fifth feature film as a director, Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in Trainwreck, written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize.
Since she was a little girl, its been drilled into Amys (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) that monogamy isnt realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credoenjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitmentbut in actuality, shes kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article shes writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.
The comedy, from a script written by Schumer, co-stars Brie Larson, John Cena, Tilda Swinton and LeBron James. Apatow produces Trainwreck through his Apatow Productions alongside Barry Mendel (Bridesmaids, This Is 40).

It is my rear wheel and it has turned to the right so far that its rubbing almost stuck to the chain stays any idea what's up ??? Possibly helpful info it seems almost bent to the right though the rim is not bent. It's "bent " in the direction where my pannier hangs I.e. where the weight is I have maybe 15-20lbs hanging on it and another 5 max from a lunch box ontop of the rack . What I think maybe the rear drop out bent outward although doesn't look so and second maybe hub bent ?? Idk if anyone can help asap I'd be greatfull . Oh and the bike is am 1988 roadish bike I don't think it is ment to carry things since no dedicated rack mounts just fender mounts and I have aluminum Rims . HELP!!!!!!

Scandal's Katie Lowes on marriage, plus news from HollywoodBy Gerri Miller

October, 2012
Have you ever seen the Torah lifted up high during a prayer service and thought to yourself, "I'm much to short/small/weak/nervous to try that"?
Let us assure you: you're not too short, small, weak, or nervous to try!
The acts of lifting and then dressing the Torah are honors that anyone can easily learn.
During any service in which the Torah is read, the reading is followed by the Torah being lifted for the congregation to see and then re-rolled and dressed. The hagbah is "lifting the Torah" into the air so that all can see its words.
This sacred task can be taught quickly. The person doing hagbah unrolls the Torah scroll so that it's about shoulder width, then lifts the Torah at least to shoulder height, and turns around so that the writing is facing the congregation. In some congregations, the Torah remains held high while a particular verse is sung, while in others the Torah is either lowered back to the bimah or is carried to a seat (keeping the Torah in the vertical position). The person who did hagbah is now seated, holding the Torah upright on their lap, and is almost done. Generally, the front portion of the Torah (see below) will be facing them; the back portion will be facing the congregation.
The person "dressing the Torah," performing the ritual known as gelilah (which really means "rolling the Torah"), who has been standing off to the side while the Torah has been lifted, accompanies the Torah to the seat (watching to rescue the Torah if it begins to wobble). When that person is seated with the Torah, the person honored with gelilah dresses the Torah with its belt, its cover, and any other pieces (such as a mantle, pointer — known as a yad, or crowns).
The Torah is still dressed as the priests at the time of the holy Temple in Jerusalem dressed it. Lifting and dressing the Torah are honors because these tasks publicly demonstrate how the community loves and reveres the words of the scroll and all it stands for and teaches.

Varun Khandelwal who was popularly known as Sandeep Sharma in Jyoti on NDTV Imagine is now shooting for cameos. The actor will be seen on Life OK's Savdhaan India @11 playing an antagonist named Sameer.
It's an one hour special episode in which Varun will portray a character of a psycho lover who will torture the female lead played by Abigail Jain. The story of this particular episode demands that Sameer wants to marry to Abigail Jain forcefully.
Well Varun who is an acrophobic (one who has fear of heights) in real life was in a very serious dilemma when he was told to shoot on the 10th floor of the building for a particular scene.
Sharing his fear and how he manged to overcome it, Varun shared with TellyBuzz, "I am scared of heights. I just can't imagine that I am up somewhere and have the fear of looking down from a height."
Elaborating on his character he says, "In a particular scene I had to scare the lead while standing on the 10th floor of the building, but the irony is, I am myself scared of heights. I had to enact a scene standing and shouting on the top floor which I refused to do. But then the director of the show convinced me to do so and it was done without any flaws."
However, it all ended well for the actor, "The best part was as the director said cut, I started shivering and everyone started laughing. I did overcome my fear of heights but I am still not ready to shoot from heights," he ended.
