|Foundations of Mathematics
|Logic Seminar
|Stephen G. Simpson, Pennsylvania State University
|By foundations we mean the study of the most basic mathematical concepts and logical structure of mathematics. Among the most basic mathematical concepts are: number, shape, set, function, algorithm, mathematical axiom, mathematical definition, mathematical proof. Typical questions in the foundations of mathematics are: What is a number? What is a shape? What is a set? What is a function? What is an algorithm? What is an axiom? What is a theorem? What is a proof? These are some of the most interesting questions which face the mathematician. Mathematical logic is a collection of mathematical concepts and techniques which have been developed in order to answer these questions. Among the great thinkers in mathematical logic are Georg Cantor, David Hilbert, Kurt Gödel, and Alan Turing. This talk is an invitation to the study of mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics.

This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Firefox has extensions which might help you in this.
BetterCache could give you the effect you need.
If not, there's Read It Later and a newer one called Read Later There's also ScrapBook
Also Shelve firefox extension
This is tricky for dynamic web sites. For a largely static set of websites, then a caching web proxy in front of your browser would help, beyond your browser's own built in caching. Also adjust your browser's caching to a large-ish size. Beyond that I don't have a good solution. dynamic and interactive web content isn't designed to be snapshot-able. Browsers with predictive pre-fetching help a small degree here, but otherwise you can re-walk your previous footsteps, assuming the http Cache tags are sane.
For a one-off user, this does fit better on SuperUser.com.

Spring is the ideal time to buy a pickup truck for the myriad of home chores it could be used for like hauling bulk mulch, topsoil, pressure treated lumber, new shrubbery or small trees. And if you happen to have a boat, pickups excel at towing because of their higher tow capacities.
If you look upon half-ton pickups as harsh riding and noisy, you'll be pleasantly surprised by GMC's 2014 Sierra Denali 1500 Crew Cab. And it's handsome to boot.
The Sierra Denali rides as smooth and quietly as your typical family sedan. But it can do what sedans, SUVs and crossovers can't.
Slip into the top-line Denali's posh leather interior enhanced with faux wood trim and you'll think you're in a luxury sedan. Today's trucks aren't what they used to be, and the Sierra Denali exemplifies that.
For starters, an 8-inch color customizable touchscreen displays audio, GPS nav and rearview camera, the latter of which also aids in hitching a trailer. The dash includes digital instrumentation whereas the speedometer displays in both analog and digital modes. This is in addition to a comprehensive 4WD system that has four modes (2WD, Auto, 4-High, 4-Low), and, adjustable pedals (so there's no excuse for the lady of the family not to drive it).
Then there are the heated/cooled front seats with airflow that can be directed to the top, bottom or both portions of the seats. This is complimented with a heated steering wheel. There are also dual (upper/lower) gloves boxes that can handle the overflow from a huge console box.
GMC outfitted the Denali with the latest high-tech safety features that are mostly found on high-end luxury cars. Items such as front and rear park assist, lane departure warnings, safety seat alert (it vibrates when getting too close to an object fore and aft), hill descent control and frontal collision warning that senses when you're approaching a vehicle or object at an unusually fast speed. At that point the driver's seat vibrates and a warning light flashes. The system is so sensitive that it went off when driving past a gushing fire hydrant that was being flushed.
If you're a family of four, the Sierra's Crew Cab can seat three abreast in the back seat that folds up against the bulkhead for additional, protective storage of gear, tools or grocery bags.
The cargo bed measures 68 inches long, 61/5 wide and 21.25 deep and has an EZ lift and lower tailgate can be operated with one hand (remember when two hands and some muscle were needed to do both on earlier models?).
While the Sierra can be had with a 4.3L, 285-hp EcoTec V6, a 5.3L, 355-hp EcoTec V8, a 6.2L, 420-hp (460 lb/ft of torque) V8 was in my test truck. It carried EPA mileage estimates of 14 city, 20-highway mpg. When coupled to the standard 6-speed automatic transmission, the Sierra had a tow rating of up to 12,000 pounds, the highest rating it its class according to GMC. And the engine comes with GM's Active Fuel Management system that cuts out four cylinders during sensible cruise speeds.
While the standard and optional features list is too long to print, rest assured the Sierra Denali Crew Cab is adequately equipped. The base price starts at $49,965 and escalates to $55,185 with delivery and every imaginable feature.
Shod with Rancho monotube shocks, 20-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires, rear leaf springs and rated with a 7,200-pound GVW rating, the Denali is one good riding truck with robust power.
To check out a Denali, stop by Kelly Car & Truck Center on Lehigh Street in Allentown or Kutztown Auto in Kutztown.

Finding Curacao
Getting out of this Berlin winter mess is the number one theme everybody talks about right now. It could be easy to join the party but we rather want to be your ambassadors for the sun with this post.
Last november we got invited to visit the caribbean island Curacao together with Clemens of iGNANT, Katja of Travelettes and Bonnie of Strange Ambition and spent a whole week in this secret place just 70 km north of Venezuela.
I have to confess that the only thing I knew about Curacao was the blue liquor you mix up with orange juice and get a green cocktail out of it. But in the last years it became a part of my travel style to arrive absolutely objective at a location and start to explore with a free mind. In the case of Curacao it wasn' t this easy.
The moment you hear "Caribbean Island" your little european heart starts hyperventilating and you instantly have flashbacks of the 1980′ s palm wallpaper in your living room. You picture everything perfect and dreamy and all that including turqoise water, brown beach beautys, dolphins and rainbows. The good thing is we had it all. The much better thing is – it has a twist. And we like twists because the rest is just boring postcard shit your parents dream about.
When you arrive in Curacao you will directly face the reality of this 440 km2 island. It was never a touristy place but an island with a huge history of trade and business. Just a couple of years ago they opened up for inviting people from all over the world to visit Curacao. This is a very interesting fact because it' s the foundation we all search for somehow when we travel – originality and authenticity. It' s a place without Make-Up and this truth may be a rough punch in your face leaving you a little confused the first days. In addition to this you will always struggle with the exotic of this place. Being a dutch colony for so many years including it' s architecture leaves a weird feeling you are somewhere in europe all the time and not at the other end of the world.
But the time you get used to it – you will love that you can speak nearly every language you want including Papiamento, English, Dutch or Spanish and get around the island without any trouble.
From the first day on I was impressed by the old colonial architecture all over the island and the photo opportunities that came with that. Especially because many of them seemed to be abandoned and run down even though they had the perfect beach front locations. The island started to get a misterious touch for me and I found more and more abandoned old hotels, restaurants or beachclubs. You know how we are. We like to explore and we don' t walk the beaten tracks. So the island opened up in a complete different direction I'll thought it would do before.
So Curacao for me was a perfect combination. It satisfied my passion to explore new original places and has some of the best photo opportunities on top, plus you'll find lonely perfect beaches to hang out, crystall clear water and an amazing underwater world (yes I was diving with free turtles!!). I would still call it a a little secret to travel to because I think the island will change fast in the next couple of years. But right now, you dive right into the heart of Curacao and their people when you adjust your expectations to a caribbean wonderworld.
If you want to see some more impressions jump over to iGNANTravel and Travelettes.
Hammer Bilder.
You really captured the true charm of my adopted home Curaçao. Beyond the palm trees and aqua beach scenes lives an interesting people with an amazing history. Your words and photo images portray this very well. I came to the island interested in the architecture and restored an old home by the sea that is now called Sirena Bay Estate and run as a guest house. So glad I made this life decision. You helped me define the question I am most often asked…"Why did you choose to move to Curaçao?"
Wow, Curacao engulfs such a great diversity. The cultural heritage it offers is really interesting.
What others had to say about it
[…] Last November I was invited to travel to the caribbean island of Curacao together with Clemens, Katja and Bonnie. It was a very nice trip and I tried to digg deep in the islands mysteries. See the whole article over at FindingBerlin. […]
[…] I was riding the bus and daydreaming about the sunshine Marcus brought with him (alas, only in pictures from far and exotic islands), I noticed a vague gleaming behind the raindrop covered window: Could that be the long […]
[…] may remember that we got the chance to escape last years autumn madness and discover the caribbean island of CURACAO for one week. Now that summer should finally arrive here I am really looking for some place to […]

On the first day of his historic Papal visit to the Republic of Korea today, Pope Francis has met with South Korea's Catholic bishops both to remember the rich history of witness to the faith by martyrdom in that country, but also to look forward to the future with another kind of witness, missionary zeal. "As pastors, you are responsible for guarding the Lord's flock. You are guardians of the wondrous works which he accomplishes in his people," the Holy Father said in remarks to the country's episcopate. "Guarding is one of the tasks specifically entrusted to the bishop: looking after God's people," said Francis, who further said that in a particular way, Korea's bishops are to be "guardians of memory and guardians of hope." The Holy Father has been invited to South Korea by the country's President and its bishops.
"You are the children of the martyrs, heirs to their heroic witness of faith in Christ," the Pope pointed out.. "You are also heirs to an impressive tradition which began, and largely grew, through the fidelity, perseverance and work of generations of lay persons." The Pontiff praised the country's active parish life and vibrant lay ecclesial movements, saying that effective catechesis has lead to good Catholic education and prosperous growth in vocations. "From being a land of mission, yours has now become a land of missionaries; and the universal Church continues to benefit from the many priests and religious whom you have sent forth."
The Pope emphasized that in the midst of ecclesiastical growth and national prosperity, a life centered on the Gospel demands that Korean Christians remember the needs of the poor and form a radical solidarity with them. "Solidarity with the poor has to be seen as an essential element of the Christian life; through preaching and catechesis grounded in the rich patrimony of the Church's social teaching, it must penetrate the hearts and minds of the faithful and be reflected in every aspect of ecclesial life," the Pope declared. "May we be saved from that spiritual and pastoral worldliness which stifles the Spirit, replaces conversion by complacency, and, in the process, dissipates all missionary fervor!"

text: The L3 development plan was not approved by the VPK Military Industrial Commission.until February, and by then the schedule dates were even less realistic than they appeared in October 1964. Meanwhile all during 1965 Pilyugin refused to accelerate work on development of the guidance work. He complained of the 'hysterical' pressure from OKB-1, and their over-concentration on reliability as the dominant design criteria. The N1 guidance system consisted of three gyro stabilised platforms, 9 accelerometer in 3 groups perpendicular to the normal axes, 18 normal and yaw stabilisers, three digital computers, and analogue-digital, digital-analogue converters. Everything was dual or triple redundant. Due to the high temperature and vibration environment, every engine controller and its cabling was duplicating. This increased cabling problems to the nth degree. The number of control units increased to 200, and the mass of the cables went from 2 to 3 tonnes. These complex systems were tested only once on the iron bird, once in type trials, once on the functional mock-up of the rocket, and then finally on the first launch. The N1 alone had 2000 black boxes, all developed in a rush without proper development documentation. The situation with the spacecraft was even worse. Pilyugin insisted on developing a guidance system using the latest digital computer technology. He concentrated on this from 1965 to 1967. He ignored the instructions of the state decree and used a gyro platform developed in his own bureau, instead of one from Viktor Kuznetsov at NII-944. Kuznetsov platforms were already proven and used on all military missiles and the Soyuz spacecraft.

We've heard of recalls for defective cars, tainted food and even corrupt politicians – but recalling weed? It happened last week as Greenleaf Medicinals, a British Columbia-based producer of medical marijuana, began recalling its Purple Kush strain following a Health Canada inspection of Greenleaf's production practices.
Greenleaf Medicinals, based in Nanaimo, B.C., is one of just a dozen companies sanctioned by Health Canada to grow and sell marijuana under the country's new medical pot regulations. Early last week, the company began warning customers to immediately cease consumption of any medicine from batch number PK-10-20-13.
Health Canada, which holds licensed cannabis cultivators to strict standards of security, control and reporting, released a statement last Tuesday regarding Greenleaf's production practices:
"[Health Canada] identified issues with processes that affect quality control, good production practices and oversight – this includes residues from use of unregistered pesticides, unsanitary production conditions, concerns with testing standards and/or control of plant materials."
Greenleaf Medicinals' website has since gone offline and the company has reportedly stopped taking phone calls.
However, Health Canada has yet to inform patients of any potentially dangerous repercussions of smoking the Kush in question. The department did provide a plan of action for discarding the recalled weed:
"Add water to the product to render it unusable, mix it with cat litter to mask the odour and dispose of it with regular household waste."
As of April 1, Canada's pot patients are prohibited from growing their own medicine and can only obtain medical cannabis from government sanctioned pot providers like Greenleaf.

Senior guard Olivia Grayson was named to the 2012-13 Preseason All-Conference USA Team, and the Green Wave were named the favorite to win the league's regular-season crown.
Oct. 8, 2012
Coach Stockton's Comments Following C-USA's Preseason Announcements
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane University women's basketball team was chosen as the favorite to win the 2012-13 regular-season Conference USA crown and senior guard Olivia Grayson earned a spot on the Preseason All C-USA Team, the league announced Monday on a vote of conference head coaches.
The Green Wave edged defending champion UTEP for the top spot in the preseason rankings, and both teams had a conference-best five first-place votes. UAB and Memphis also garnered one first-place vote each as the Blazers were picked to finish third and the Tigers in the No. 5 slot. Rice was picked to finish fourth, followed by Memphis, Tulsa, Southern Miss, SMU, UCF, Houston, East Carolina and Marshall.
Grayson is the first Tulane student-athlete to claim a spot on the preseason All C-USA Team since Danielle Nunn prior to the 2010-11 campaign. She is joined on the preseason list by Karisma Chapman of UAB, Nicole Dickson of Memphis, Jamierra Faulker of Southern Miss, Jessica Kuster of Rice, Taleya Mayberry of Tulsa, Akil Simpson of SMU and Kayla Thorton of UTEP. Kuster was named the C-USA Preseason Player of the Year.
"I feel confident going into the season that we have a strong group returning," Tulane head women's basketball coach Lisa Stockton said. "Starting No. 1 is nice, but finishing No. 1 is certainly our goal. There are a lot of games to be played before the end of the season, but I'm proud of the group for what they were able to accomplish last year to get this kind of recognition from the coaches in the conference."
The Green Wave enter the upcoming season coming off three-straight 20-win seasons, three consecutive appearances in the Conference USA Championship game and trio of postseason appearances. Last season, Tulane went 23-11 overall, finished tied for third in the C-USA regular-season standings with a 9-7 league mark, and advanced to the second round of the WNIT.
Among the 10 returning letterwinners, five - Grayson, senior guard Tyria Snow, senior forward Janique Kautsky, sophomore forward Adesuwa Ebomwonyi and sophomore guard Danielle Blagg - started at least 17 games. Also back for the 2012-13 season are sophomore guard Jamie Kaplan, sophomore forward Tiffany Dale, sophomore guard Katye Magee, senior forward Brittany McDonald and junior center Ashley Westby. In addition, Tulane will welcome back the talents of sophomore wing Whitney Bibbins, who missed all of last season due to injury.
All told, Tulane returns 84.6 percent of its scoring output (1,784-of-2,109 points), 77.3 percent of its rebounds (1,057-of-1,367 boards), 91.5 percent of its assists (462-of-505 dimes), 91.9 percent of its steals (298-of-324 thefts) and 55.2 percent of its blocks (90-of-163 swats) from a year ago.
The Green Wave will add the talent of a trio of newcomers as true freshmen Chinwe Duru (Round Rock, Texas), guard Tierra Jones (Madison, Ala.) and center Morgan Rogers (Shreveport, La.) join the team for the 2012-13 season.
"(Having a perceived target on your back is) always something you worry about, but I feel like that's where you want to be and that's where you want your team to think you are," Stockton said. "Now, it's something they have to come out and represent every day so I think it's only a positive for our team."
Grayson, meanwhile, is coming off a successful junior season where she claimed first-team All C-USA and All-Louisiana honors after played in 34 games with 33 starts as a junior and led the team in points (470), points per game (13.8), field goals made (158), free throws made (122), free throw percentage (.819), assists (119), steals (78), minutes played (1068) and minutes per game (31.4). She also ranked second on the squad in 3-point baskets (32), rebounds (200) and rebounds per game (5.9), fourth in blocked shots (14) and fifth in 3-point percentage (.291).
The native of Metairie, La., and graduate of nearby Archbishop Chapelle High School was named C-USA Player of the Week on Nov. 21, 2011, after averaging 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game and again on Dec. 12 after averaging 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 1.0 assist per outing, and was tabbed both Tulane/DoubleTree Classic MVP and C-USA Player of the Week on Jan. 3, 2012, after averaging 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.0 steals per game during the Green Wave's run to the tourney title
She claimed a spot on the C-USA Women's Basketball Championship All-Tournament Team after averaging a team-best 18.3 points, 4.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game while chipping in 8.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game during Tulane's march to the championship contest
Grayson scored in double figures 26 times with five 20-plus point outings, including a career-high 29 after hitting 9-of-21 field goals, 4-of-7 3-pointers and 7-of-9 free throws vs. Southern Dec. 11, 2011. She pulled down double-digit rebounds three times, including a career-high 14 in the C-USA Championship Quarterfinals on March 8, 2012 She posted a pair of double-doubles, including a 23-point, 14-board effort in the C-USA Tourney against the Pirates, tallied five-or-more assist outings 11 times, including a season-best seven vs Louisiana-Monroe (11/14), and had four-or-more steals six times, including a career-best six thefts on three occasions.
"I believe she is probably one of the most underrated players in our conference and probably in our region," Stockton said of Grayson. "She's been a part of a successful program here for the last three years and played a major part in that. I think it's certainly very deserving and I think she's a player who should be in contention for Player of the Year at the end of the season if she has the kind of season we believe she can have."
Grayson will becomes the first Green Wave player to take the court for her senior season with at least 1,000 career points since All-American Grace Daley did so with 1,567 points to her credit heading into her the 1999-2000 campaign. She enters the upcoming year with 1,115 career points after sinking 377-of-1043 (.361) field goals, 81-of-273 (.297) 3-pointers and 280-of-365 (.767) free throws. In addition, Grayson has also accumulated 544 rebounds (5.39 rpg), 383 assists (3.79 apg), 186 steals (1.84 spg) and 40 blocks (0.39 bpg) to date.
At her current rate and with 29 regular-season games plus at least one game in the 2013 Conference USA Women's Basketball Championship on tap for 2012-13, Grayson would complete her career with 1,441 points, 706 rebounds, 496 assists, 241 steals and 51 blocks. If those numbers were to hold true, Grayson would rank second in the Tulane career record book in assists, fourth in steals, seventh in points scored and eighth in rebounds.
Tulane will open the regular season on Friday, Nov. 9, when the Green Wave play host to Louisiana Tech at 7 p.m. Season tickets for the 2012-13 Tulane women's basketball season will cost $100 for floor seats, $85 for reserved courtside and $50 for end-court general admission. For additional information, contact the Tulane Atheltics Ticket Office in person on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center.

In a test drive of the new Jaguar Xf-R we discovered that around the streets of Monza, it really is a head turner. With a rumbling V8 and the traction control light blinking, we set off for a spin with Ferdinando Cazzaniga, owner of Jaguar J.B Cars in Monza.
While he suggests that we should hear this engine on the XK, he's only teasing. The new Jaguar R range is being distributed in Europe, and it should prove to be a lovely, and much improved, car. But how does one actually drive the new XF-R? A brief test drive certainly helps to understand it.
The XF-R is more nifty than it once was, with suspension improvements and large 20-inch wheels enough to keep the 1,890 kg steady in fast gear shifts, and rapid changes of direction. The V8 is a smooth engine, constant and vigorous, it also helps in the weighty vehicle.
While 625 Nm of torque is a lot, it seems the 5.0 litre Supercharged may not be able to keep its rear wheels on the ground. But with a well designed electronics system, the Jaguar XF-R torque is always under control.
We were utterly impressed, however, by the transmission. While a couple of faults could be found, the automatic six speed transmission is impeccable at low revs and when increasing speed.
The shift time is such that the XF-R seems to run on automatic, without always touching on the paddles. It feels like slow motion in the new Jaguar, where you can sit back and enjoy the soft leather seats while still experiencing a sports drive, that is not overly ambitious. It's an impressive effort from Jaguar, looking to give its XF-R a luxury feel, with enough grunt if the customer so wishes.

I'm setting up an Ubuntu instance on Amazon EC2 and I'm trying to configure it so that, at startup, it automatically attaches an EBS volume and takes an elastic IP address and, at shutdown, it automatically releases those resources.
I found various init scripts that do what I want, but I'd really like to use an upstart job, so that I can automatically install it through cloud-init.
I understand from this exchange that the event I want to monitor to start my job is, for lucid and maverick
start on stopped cloud-run-user-script
and for natty
start on stopped cloud-final
Is this really accurate? Also, what is the correct event to monitor to stop my job (including unmounting and detaching the EBS volume and releasing the elastic IP)?

I can't decide if I'm more ecstatic that I finally have something worth submitting a personal shopper request for or frustrated that I haven't been able to find the perfect thing already.

So many beautiful options!!! First off, great dress. That layered look is about as flattering as it gets. And what a sensational color. Lucky for you, awesome accessories aren't too hard to come by.

Really, it's been a long time since we've heard much of anything from Gwen Stefani—with or without the band that made her famous in the mid-'90s, No Doubt. Ten years since No Doubt's last album Rock Steady, and five years since Gwen's last solo effort The Sweet Escape, it feels like an entire era of pop music has passed since Gwen's time as a star. Now The Neptunes are no longer popular, Eurodance-pop rules the airwaves and nobody has a fucking clue who the Harajuku Girls are. Would there still be a place for Gwen in today's Dr. Luke and Lady Gaga-curated pop world?
Turns out, we might never have the chance to find out. According to a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gwen does not plan on returning to her solo career at any point in the immediate future, if indeed at all. "That was a moment in time," Stefani reflected upon her distant memory of a solo career. "It went on a little longer than we all thought it would, because it was inspired and you have to go with wherever you're at in that time in your life…[But] everything works out how it should." It's sort of a shame, since Gwen was certainly one of pop's more interesting personalities while at the height of her solo powers, though if her solo retirement spares us from having to deal with clunkers like "Rich Girl" or "Wind It Up" again, it might not be the absolute worst thing.
What's more, Gwen's statement is apparently merely a prelude to a much bigger revelation coming in the upcoming No Doubt-featuring issue of EW—"The big news" is how the magazine refers to it—so hopefully an announcement of some actual new No Doubt music is on the way. C'mon, how hard is it to release a single or two in this day in age?

I'm an FC SAN kind of guy and although we use NetApp 30xx filers for lots of non-essential storage I'm really no expert.
I have a new requirement for a very resilient (i.e. 3 or 4 '9s') basic static HTTP/S web server that will be shipping out large'ish (2-8GB) files from a directory/pool of around 16-20TB.
There will never be more than about 100 clients and there won't be more than 2-3Gbps of bandwidth between this filer/web-server and these clients so outright performance is not really any issue. My question is therefore, how trustworthy/resilient is a NetApp filer when used purely as a HTTP/S server?
Obviously if I ask NetApp they'll say they can give me the moon on a stick but I'm more interested in real sysadmin usage.
Thanks in advance, feel free to 'comment' me any questions.

Essays belong to a literary species whose extreme variability can be studied most effectively within a three-poled frame of reference. There is the pole of the personal and the autobiographical; there is the pole of the objective, the factual, the concrete-particular; and there is the pole of the abstract-universal. Most essayists are at home and at their best in the neighborhood of only one of the essay's three poles, or at the most only in the neighborhood of two of them. custom essay writing services Like the novel, the essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything, usually on a certain topic. By tradition, almost by definition, the essay is a short piece, and it is therefore impossible to give all things full play within the limits of a single essay. But a collection of essays can cover almost as much ground, and cover it almost as thoroughly, as can a long novel. Montaigne's Third Book is the equivalent, very nearly, of a good slice of the Comédie Humaine.
There are the predominantly objective essayists who do not speak directly of themselves, but turn their attention outward to some literary or scientific or political theme. … And how splendid, how truly oracular are the utterances of the great generalizers! … The most richly satisfying essays are those which make the best not of one, not of two, but of all the three worlds in which it is possible for the essay to exist.

Precision Robotic Tools Facilitate Minimally Invasive Prostatectomy
By Zach Bohannan
critical nerve bundles and blood vessels surround the prostate,
prostatectomy can carry high risks of erectile dysfunction and urinary
Superficially, robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopic approaches,
but the tools are vastly different. The surgical robot looks something
like a spider with several arms that hover over the patient. Each arm
has an interface that can connect to a wide array of modular surgical
tools. Robotic surgical tools have four wheels that lock in to
corresponding gears in the robot arm. These wheels move the mechanical
"wrist," which is the key difference between robotic and laparoscopic
tools and allows a far greater range of motion that essentially mirrors
the surgeon's hand motions. Dr. Davis said, "Compared with laparoscopic
tools, the robotic tools offer extra degrees of freedom that make many
tasks, such as suturing, much less taxing."
Patient selection
According to Dr. Davis, patient selection criteria for robotic
prostatectomy are similar to those for open and laparoscopic
prostatectomies. Surgeons new to the system may want to avoid
complicated cases at first, but otherwise, robotic surgery can
effectively replace laparoscopy for minimally invasive prostatectomies.
Where robotic surgical suites are available, robotic surgery is
generally preferred over laparoscopic surgery because of the advantages
mentioned above. However, some surgeons still prefer to use open
surgery because of their level of experience with open surgery.
For more information, contact Dr. John Davis at 713-792-3250.

Although the Tenebrae service is a long-standing tradition in the Christian church, not all denominations include this experience in their observation of Holy Week. In addition, different churches approach the Tenebrae service in different ways. However, most Tenebrae services do share certain characteristics regardless of the denomination or individual congregation.
Derived from the Latin, Tenebrae means "darkness" or "shadows." The goal of the Tenebrae service is to help the congregation experience the dark, difficult aspects of Christ's passion. It is usually observed on Good Friday, but some congregations prefer Maundy Thursday or even the Saturday before Easter.
In general, the Tenebrae service involves readings from the Bible narrating the betrayal and crucifixion of Jesus. The readings are divided into sections, and after each section a candle is extinguished, eventually leaving the sanctuary in darkness. Usually a single candle is then returned to the altar, signifying the hope of Christ's resurrection.
Several churches in the Denver area are offering Tenebrae services this Holy Week. Deer Park UMC held their Tenebrae service last night, on Maundy Thursday. A joint service with Risen Lord Lutheran Church of Conifer, it began with traditional communion. Gospel readings were alternated with choral pieces that illuminated or built upon the events in the scriptures. After each reading, symbolic items such as the ministers' stoles, the communion cups, and the cross that usually sits on the altar were removed, and candles were extinguished.
After the reading of the last verses, narrating Jesus' burial, the church was plunged into darkness, accompanied by a loud sound symbolizing the stone closing Jesus' tomb. Worshipers departed in silence to reflect on the Passion of Christ, and to prepare for Easter Sunday.
The Tenebrae service was led by Pastor Kay Krebs and Intern Pastor Vivian Hiestand from Deer Park, as well as Pastor George Jacobson from Risen Lord. The choir consisted of members of both church's regular choirs. The musical litany came from "A Service of Shadows," a Tenebrae setting by Lani Smith. The joint service between the two churches is one of several holiday collaborations, including the recent Christmas Eve service, also featuring joined choirs.

'Our Cultures Are Our Source of Health' PSAs
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division of Diabetes Translation, Native Diabetes Wellness Program and the Traditional Foods Program's tribal partners in conjunction with CDC's Division of Communication Services and the Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support are pleased to announce the availability of 30- and 60- second video public service announcements (PSA) and an 8-minute video entitled Our Cultures Are Our Source of Health. The PSAs highlight the wisdom of cultural knowledge, including harvesting local foods and playing traditional games, in promoting health and preventing diseases like type 2 diabetes in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
"We are a proud people. We are working on getting ourselves healthy again…and we will. We've been invisible too long, and this PSA will help to show the world we are still here." - Cathy Abramson, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, CDC/ASTDR Tribal Advisory Committee, Chair National Indian Health Board
Type 2 diabetes is a growing concern around the world. American Indian and Alaska Native adults are twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. In addition, Native American youth aged 10 to 19 years are developing type 2 diabetes at higher rates than youth in other racial and ethnic groups of this age.
The PSAs were filmed at the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and feature renowned Cherokee actor Wes Studi and representatives from tribal partners from across the United States. "Hopefully we can be the solution to preventing Type 2 diabetes …by eating more traditional foods and playing our traditional games," said Studi, known for his movie roles including Avatar, The Last of the Mohicans, and Dances With Wolves. Studi gave testimony to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing, The Way Out of the Diabetes Crisis in Indian Country, in 2010.
Tribal communities are engaging youth and families to reclaim traditional ways of health by harvesting local, traditional foods and increasing access to traditional games and dancing. Cora Flute, health educator for Cherokee Nation's Traditional Foods Project, told the University of Oklahoma's American Indian Institute that their program will "continue to increase awareness that traditional foods are a part of our past that has sustained us and kept us healthy. Community and family gardens were essentials in access to fresh healthy foods and physical activity was part of staying healthy," she emphasized.
"A lot of us live by numbers…we're statistics, blood sugars, blood pressures, weight, A1Cs. But the number we should focus on is being number one in health. Watching the PSA was very moving. It gives you hope." - Sandra Ortega, Tohono O'odham Nation, CDC/ASTDR Tribal Advisory Committee
The CDC sponsors the Traditional Foods Program with 17 tribes and tribal organizations, working to reclaim traditional foods and related physical activity in the interest of the health of the people. "Our cultures are the source of health" advised tribal representatives after Congress designated the Special Diabetes Program for Indians and CDC's prevention efforts in tribal communities. The Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee and the Tribal Advisory Committee viewed the PSAs before they were released.

PSA Footage Includes: Our Cultures Are Our Source of Health, featuring Wes Studi; videos are available in 30-second, 60-second, and 8-minute lengths.

Despite intense media coverage, no one came to adopt the 55 dogs and cats saved from horrible hoarding conditions in Phelan, California, on their first available date. These hoarding survivors were finally released from a legal hold and made available for public adoption on July 10, 2014.
So the County of San Bernardino Animal Care and Control and Homeward Bound Project Adopt decided to take matters into their own hands. They are sponsoring an adoption event this weekend in hopes of finding homes for remaining dogs.
16 of these dogs were rescued or adopted today, which leaves 22 remaining dogs available for adoption.
There is no chance at a happy future for the cats. Out of the 17 cats seized from the hoarder house with no power and no running water, only 1 is still alive and available for adoption. Doug Smith, Supervisor of Devore Animal Shelter, ordered 16 cats to be killed immediately upon their availability date. There was no warning given to volunteer groups. Volunteers discovered this after the fact. Koala is the last remaining survivor. Click here to adopt the last remaining feline survivor, or any of the other available cats.
For those following the Phelan 55, or High Desert Hoarding Case, the dogs and cats suffered extreme conditions, with matted hair covered in feces, as was first reported by the SB Sun and the LA Times.
These dogs are very lovable. They're very friendly," said C.L. Lopez, a spokeswoman for San Bernardino County Animal Care and Control.
The dogs will be available for adoption at A New Beginning Adoption Event at the Devore Animal Shelter on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
A $25 adoption fee will include micro-chipping, initial vaccination and the spaying or neutering of each of the dogs surrendered by the dog hoarder.
The license fee will vary depending on the adopter's city if residence and there is a limit of two dogs per family.
The Devore Animal Shelter is at 19777 Shelter Way in San Bernardino, CA.

It must be hard being Chris Brown. He's just trying to promote his message of peace, love and understanding while also spreading the Gospel of the one true Lord. Why are the paparazzi always harshing on his vibe, man, selling him out for 30 pieces of silver so he gets crucified by the Romans?
Oh wait, no, sorry—that's Jesus. Chris Brown is the guy who can't control his temper and keeps getting in fights with people for basically any reason at all. (To say nothing his history of domestic violence.) But we're not the only people to get the two confused. As a recent Instagram from Brown shows, the R&B star is feeling a bit of a martyr after his brawl with universally beloved crooner Frank Ocean this weekend. "Painting the way I feel today," Brown wrote next to an artistic depiction of Jesus on the cross, "Focus on what matters!"
Is Chris Brown the second coming of Jesus? If he is, that's got to be the worst version of Christianity possible, right?

US intel says Malaysian plane shot down by missile
KIEV, Ukraine - A U.S. official says that American intelligence authorities now believe a surface-to-air missile took down a Malaysian passenger plane as it flew over eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
The official says the U.S. is still working to determine additional details about the crash, including who fired the missile and whether it came from the Russian or Ukraine side of the border. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.
The U.S. has sophisticated technologies that can detect missile launches, including the identification of heat from the rocket engine.
The plane was carrying 295 people. Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Minister, says on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher.
A similar launcher was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday.
Russian news agencies have quoted witnesses as saying they saw a plane being hit by what they thought was a rocket.
But both Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russia rebels are denying they fired a missile that brought down a Malaysia Airlines passenger plane.
The plane crashed in eastern Ukraine, about 25 miles from the Russian border.
An Associated Press journalist counted at least 22 bodies at the wreckage site, which covers a wide area.
The wreckage is in a village that is currently under the control of pro-Russia separatists. It's seen severe fighting between separatists and government troops in recent days.
A Russian news agency quoted a leader of eastern Ukraine's pro-Russia rebels as saying they intend to call a three-day cease fire to allow an investigation of the crash.
The RIA-Novosti agency on Thursday quoted rebel leader Alexander Borodai as saying discussions were underway with Ukrainian authorities on calling the short truce for humanitarian reasons. He said international organizations would be allowed into the conflict-plagued region.
Malaysia Airlines, meanwhile, says it lost contact with a plane over Ukrainian airspace. MH17 was heading from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
A Kremlin statement early Friday said Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a meeting with his economic advisers by calling for a moment of silence over the crash.
Then, he said, "This tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine. And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy."
An earlier statement from the Kremlin said Putin and President Barack Obama had discussed the crash. It gave no further details about what the leaders discussed with regard to the plane crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration warned U.S. pilots earlier this year not to fly over portions of the Ukraine in the Crimea region, according to notices posted on the agency's website.
The notices were posted on April 23. The U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization and the aviation authorities in most countries issue similar notices for areas where unrest or military conflict creates a risk of being shot down.
Within hours, several airlines, including Lufthansa and KLM, released statements Thursday saying they were avoiding parts of Ukrainian airspace.

Today and Tonight: Satellite imagery and surface analysis showed a strong weather disturbance over Ontario province that is tracking east-northeast. This weather disturbance will be the trigger for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening.
I am expecting showers and thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening as a frontal boundary sets up across northern Maine. The severe weather indices this afternoon into this evening are as follows: CAPE values: 500 to 650 j/kg, lifted indexes: minus 1 to minus 2, Total total index: 55. In addition, shear values of around 30 knots and helicity values of 150 to 190 will cause some rotation in the thunderstorms. Also, the 850 to 500 millibar lapse rates will exceed 7 degrees Celsius per kilometer this afternoon into this evening aiding in the instability.
The forecast sounding profiles look moist with a v-notch showing up below 5000 feet. Why is this important?? V notch signatures are commonly associated with very strong updrafts and are commonly associated with supercell thunderstorms.
Based on all of this information, I am going with showers and thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening. Some of these thunderstorms will contain strong winds. In addition, hail seems very possible with any thunderstorms as well. The timing of the showers and thunderstorms are described in the paragraph below.
One additional tidbit of information, the 4 km NAM model forecast radar forecast is pointing to thunderstorms entering western Aroostook County by 3 to 4 pm and making it into eastern Aroostook County, including Caribou, Presque Isle and Houlton between 5 and 7 pm. Other model guidance has shower and thunderstorm activity starting as early as 12 to 1 pm. Will take an average of the two and go with showers and thunderstorms from about 2-3 pm this afternoon to about 11 pm this evening.
Thunderstorms will push into New Brunswick after 11 pm this evening and I expect variable clouds after midnight.
High temperatures today will be near 70 Degrees. Low temperatures tonight will be near 45 Degrees.
Wednesday through Thursday: A trough of low pressure will hang back across the region Wednesday and will keep the threat for scattered showers across northern Maine on Wednesday. High temperatures Wednesday will be near 58 Degrees.
A frontal system will cross the region Thursday. I expect scattered showers Thursday with the chance for afternoon thunderstorms as the atmosphere will become somewhat unstable. I am not expecting strong or severe thunderstorms on Thursday afternoon. High temperatures Thursday will be near 62 Degrees.
Friday through Sunday: Main item of interest will be the weekend storm system and when exactly will it rain. Looking at the model guidance, the GFS model by midday Saturday and continuing through all day Sunday. The Canadian model keeps us dry all day Saturday and brings the rain in Saturday night and continues it through Sunday. An extrapolation of the European model points to rain developing by mid to late afternoon Saturday and continuing through Sunday.
I will base the weekend forecast on an average of the three models above and go with rain developing by mid-afternoon Saturday and continuing through Saturday night and all day Sunday.
The Forecast
Today: Sunny this morning, then scattered showers and thunderstorms after 2 pm this afternoon. Some thunderstorms may be strong to severe with strong winds, hail and frequent lightning. Highs near 70 Degrees. Winds West 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight: Scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening, ending around 11 pm, then variable clouds after midnight. Some thunderstorms this evening may be strong to severe with strong winds, hail and frequent lightning. Lows near 45 Degrees. Winds Northwest 5 to 10 mph.
Wednesday: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers in the morning, then a mix of sun and clouds with scattered showers in the afternoon. Highs near 58 Degrees. Winds Northwest around 5 mph.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy. Lows near 48 Degrees. Winds South 5 to 10 mph.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers in the morning, then mostly cloudy with scattered showers and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs near 62 Degrees. Winds South 5 to 10 mph in the morning and Southwest 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Lows near 38 Degrees.
Friday: Partly sunny. Highs near 58 Degrees.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy. Lows near 35 Degrees.
Saturday: Cloudy in the morning into the early afternoon hours, then rain during the mid and late afternoon hours. Highs near 55 Degrees.
Saturday night: Periods of rain. Lows near 40 Degrees.
Sunday: Periods of rain. Highs near 51 Degrees.

An Abilene resident isn't particularly pleased about a third Walmart coming to town – and he's started a petition against it.
A petition is now circulating the internet on the website Change.org
The petition was started by Justin McBride, an Abilene resident. According to the website, McBride says he lives across the street from the proposed 150,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter at Loop 322 and Oldham Lane.
Late last week, Walmart officials confirmed plans are for the new store to open during Spring 2016.
McBride wants other residents who are against the retailer coming to Abilene to sign the petition.
On Change.org, McBride writes: "I am writing this with intent of raising community awareness of this development and allowing residents such as myself and my neighbors an opportunity to voice their displeasure."
As of Tuesday morning, there were 80 signatures on the petition.
The new location is slightly north of Stripes Convenience Store and between Gateway Street and Oldham Lane on the east side of Loop 322.
Abilene's two other Walmart locations are off Hwy 351 and on Southwest Drive. The city also has a Sam's Club on its south side.
In case you're interested, here's the LINK to the petition.

Battling back from a 1-0 deficit in the 74th minute, the Houston Dash evened the score and held on for a 1-all tie against the Washington Sprint on Thursday, July 17, 2014 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas.
With the tie, the Dash raises their record to 6-10-2 (17 points) and keep alive their hopes for a post-season playoff berth on the National Women's Soccer League.
The Spirit got on the scoreboard in the 19th minute when forward Jodie Taylor broke away from the Dash defenders and fed Lisa De Vanna the ball as she approached the box.
De Vanna, who hails from Perth, Australia, deftly outmaneuvered Dash forward Stephanie Ochs on a one-one matchup and chipped the ball over a sliding Erin McLeod for the goal.
Play heated up and tempers flared a bit in the 71st minute when Dash forward Kealia Ohai was going for the ball, as it was headed out of bound, when she shoved by Sprint defender Ali Krieger.
Several Dash players protested the call when a free kick was awarded, feeling a penalty occurred.
Ochs took the free kick and sailed it towards the goal; hoping for a deflection. However the ball just flew by Sprint goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris without touching anyone.
The Dash, however, were not to be denied, with Ochs coming back two minutes later; bouncing a corner kick off teammates Marissa Diggs and Kaylyn Kyle to tie the score in the 74th minute.
Diggs was credited with the goal while Kyle received the assist.
Houston will now hit the road for a July 26 match-up against the Chicago Red Stars. They will return home on July 30 to face Seattle with a 8 p.m. CDT kickoff.

March 18, 2010
DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois University softball team is back in action this weekend as the Huskies travel to Tampa, Fla. to compete in the USF The Game Tournament hosted by the University of South Florida March 19-21.
NIU (4-12) heads to Florida looking to build on a 2-2 showing at the Amy S. Harrison Classic over the weekend. Northern Illinois earned a 1-0 over Idaho State and a 7-6 extra inning triumph over the host Highlanders of UC-Riverside in the final game of the tournament. The Huskies received from solid individual performances from their trip to California last week.
Freshman Monica Segura (Santa Ana, Calif./Segerstrom Fundamental) had a breakout week from both the pitching circle and at the plate. In four appearances, she went 1-1, picking up her first career victory, posting a 0.00 ERA in 14 and a third innings pitched. Segura was 5-for-13, hitting her first career homer, with three runs and two runs batted in. Zoe Sinner (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) went 6-for-20 with six RBIs and four runs scored. She hit three home runs in her seven games played, including her first career dinger against San Diego.
NIU head coach Lindsay Chouinard is hoping see similar individual performances from other members of the team after the work the Huskies turned in on the practice field this past week.
"We're hoping to see some adjustments at the plate this weekend," Chouinard said. "We worked hard this week on skill work and making adjustments offensively and doing things the right way. Hopefully we can see that translate in our games."
The Huskies will face open the tournament with two games on Friday, facing Towson at 10 a.m. and the host Bulls at 3 p.m. NIU will play Florida Gulf Coast and Florida State on Saturday at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. respectively and closes out its weekend with Florida A&M Sunday morning at 8 a.m. All game times are Central.Fans can follow all theaction live via USF The Game Tournament Central.

The change to warmer seasons often makes people want to embrace nature more in their daily activities, and that may include home design. The painted floors within Anderson's Vintage Coastal Art hardwood floor collection in a sand dollar finish, for instance, suggest color tones found on sandy beaches. Other decorating choices can also be inspired by garden colors or the foliage in wooded areas.
It's no unusual for most homes to have plants scattered about in places where they catch the most sun, or in the bathroom where they can soak up moist air. But William Sonoma's Designer Marketplace suggested making natural elements like flowering plants a more pervasive part of room design throughout the year.
In spring, try adding flower boxes to deep window ledges with potted plants that will sprout a variety of colors. For more greenery, miniature topiaries create the feel of an English garden, which can be changed to holly and other seasonal greens when cold weather returns. By dedicating specific areas to plant life - like flowers, small potted trees and ferns - you'll create a garden aesthetic in your home. Indoor plants also have a wonderful side effect of improving air quality while adding a natural aroma.
Changeable furnishings
Letting your furniture reflect the change to warm weather may come in the form of floral patterns where neutral solid colors predominated during winter. They don't have to be limited to soft furnishings, although that's a simple way to incorporate new hues and prints.
In addition, replace darker colored artwork or sculptural pieces made of dense, heavy materials with a selection of decorative items that reflect the lightness of spring and summer, Better Homes and Gardens magazine recommended. For example, if you have a gallery wall of small, framed paintings, switch out the artwork in favor of floral watercolors. Colors like green, light brown and blue help to create a sense of the great outdoors in any room.
This may also be a good time to reevaluate your furniture arrangement. Having a cozy atmosphere in rooms fits winter because it gives people a sense of refuge from the elements. But during the warm season, clear away some inessential side pieces and make space to move around more easily and create an open design that fits longer days with more light.
The natural look of hardwood floors is a great way to tie all of this together with rich, wood tones that are versatile enough to suit any season.

Super Bowl XLII & the Law: Let the Tailgating Begin!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Microsoft made an audacious bid for Yahoo and the job data has boosted recession odds, but all we care about today is Super Bowl XLII. Let the tailgating begin! Here are three legal angles in the morning papers:
- Trademarks!: Remember when Pat Riley filed paperwork to register "three-peat" as a trademark or when Dennis Green and his mustachioed lawyer did the same for "They are who we thought they were"? While we found those amusing, we're nauseated by the Patriots's chutzpah. To the ire of Giants fans everywhere, the Patriots have filed a registration to trademark "19-0″ and "19-0 The Perfect season." We salute the New York Post, which spent $375 for its own trademark application yesterday — on 18-1. Go Gints!
- Copyrights!: The WaPo reports on the ever-vigilant NFL's efforts to crackdown on big-screen Super Bowl shindigs at churches. The league insists that airing games at churches on large-screen TV sets — or those larger than 55 inches — violates the NFL copyright. You know the drill: "This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited."
Said an executive pastor at a church: "There is a part of me that says, 'Gee, doesn't the NFL have enough money already? It just doesn't make sense." Another civil liberties expert called the law outdated. "It's ridiculous . . . You can go into these stores now and buy 100-inch screens." Go Big Blue!
- Counterfeits!: The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency are on the ground in Glendale cracking down on the sale of counterfeit merchandise, conducting raids on dealers who descend upon the Super Bowl to hawk their goods. They've already seized about $140,000 worth of goods, according to the NYT. "A significant number of professional counterfeiters come into the host city every year," Anastasia Danias, a lawyer for the NFL — and Hughes Hubbard alumnus — told the Times. They come, she said, "hoping to make a quick buck off fans' enthusiasm for the game." Osi for President!
We've been hearing rumors of Big Law offices with New York and Boston outposts mixing it up, so we'll have more on that later. But are there any other legal angles we're missing, O Beloved Law Blog football fans and readers?

Course Record, Distance & Tee Times
Day 2 of the Aussie Open was thunderstorm free, and saw a course record of 53 (-12) set by Paul McBeth that was later matched by Simon Lizotte. McBeth now leads the field, 5 throws ahead of Lizotte and Nate Doss. Check out the full results on the PDGA website. Be sure to follow along with live scoring on days 3 and 4 at www.pdga.com/live.
After the round, the competitors headed to Sorrento for a distance competition. Unsurprisingly, Simon Lizotte took the crown with a monster throw of 212 metres – a mammoth effort considering the humidity and less than ideal wind conditions.
Tee times for round 3 are now up on the PDGA website. All players are responsible for knowing their tee time.
Play has begun at the 2015 Aussie Open
The first PDGA Major in the Southern Hemisphere is under way! A surprising thunderstorm – the first raindrops in Perth in two months – cleared the course and delayed play for 2.5 hours. After the heavy downpour and hail the storm clouds cleared and the massive puddles were sucked up almost instantly by the very dry ground. Soon the dependable Perth sun came back out and the round was completed.
After 18 holes Nate Doss is in the lead with the low round of 56, one ahead of Paul McBeth and two ahead of Dave Feldberg. Stay tuned to the PDGA website for current scores and a more detailed article.
Three More Sponsors On Board
The 2015 Aussie Open organising committee is excited to announce three more sponsors of the first PDGA Major in the Southern Hemisphere.
We are excited to announce the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club as host of our Opening Ceremony at this year's Aussie Open! The club is just 200m from the Sorrento Beach tournament hotel and is located directly on Sorrento Beach with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean. The Opening Ceremony will take place on Wednesday evening, January 28th, with the event including dinner, a presentation on Australia's Frisbee history and a very special Aboriginal dance and cultural ceremony welcoming all the competitors to the event. With such a great facility greeting the competitors, the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club promises to be the perfect venue to kick off this year's tournament.
Top competitors at this year's Aussie Open will be travelling in luxury thanks to Scarboro Toyota. Located in Osborne Park, Scarboro Toyota has been family owned and operated since 1970. Recognised as one of Perth's largest and most innovative Toyota dealerships, Scarboro Toyota employs over 150 highly trained and experienced staff to ensure that you receive the level of service and family values you would expect.
Mundaring Community Financial Services Limited (MCFS) is a locally owned and operated public company in the Perth Hills region of Western Australia, and operates the Mundaring Community Bank® franchise of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited. Since opening its doors in 2002, MCFS has shared more than $1,000,000 with the local community.
The MCFS has generously provided a significant grant to assist the Mundaring Sporting Club in hosting the Aussie Open Disc Golf Tournament this year. Their financial investment will go towards ensuring the world-class disc golf facility in Mundaring is ready for an influx of professional competitors from around the world. The event will provide exposure of the sport and help to ensure the legacy of MCFS's investment remains in the community for many years to come.
Course Fly Through Video On The SpinTV
The SpinTV has just released a full fly through video of the Mundaring DiscGolfPark including tee signs showing all OBs for the Major tournament. Big thanks to Esa and everyone at The SpinTV for putting this together.
Click the video below or had on over to SpinTV to check it out, and get excited about the 2015 Aussie Open!

USDGC Qualifying Announced!
Disc golfers from around the world have been asking us for months if the 2015 Aussie Open will have any qualifying spots available for the 2015 United States Disc Golf Championship (USDGC). With support from the USDGC, the PDGA and Innova we are now proud to announce that the 2015 Aussie Open will be offering five qualifying spots for the 2015 USDGC!
The Aussie Open will be the first tournament of 2015 offering qualification for the USDGC. With several of the registered Open players already having qualified at last year's USDGC, the Aussie Open provides a fantastic opportunity for players to qualify. In order to ensure players can make the most of this opportunity, we have pushed back the registration deadline for the 2015 Aussie Open to January 14th.
The USDGC is the culminating Major on the 2015 disc golf calendar and will be played on the legendary Winthrop Gold course in Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA.
Men's Open Champion Prize Money Announced
We announced a few months ago that the pro player prize purse for the 2015 Aussie Open is a guaranteed $30,000. Now we are very excited to announce that the Men's Open Champion will be awarded a prize of $6000!
Full details of all payouts will be announced in January, after registration closes on the 5th of January. Be sure to get those registrations in before the deadline for a chance to get your hands on some of this huge prize pot.
Third Fundraiser Disc Will Help You Find Your X-Factor
We are happy to announce that the third disc in the limited edition Aussie Open fundraiser series has been released! The brand new Discmania P1x putter is now available in very limited quantities in grippy X-Line plastic from The Frisbee Shop and Discmania Store. This third disc in the series documents the trip that three Aussie disc pioneers made to Pasedena, California to compete at the 1978 World Frisbee Championships in front of a massive crowd at the Rose Bowl.
The P1x was born out of a high demand for a beaded putter from Discmania. It was ergonomically designed to create a very comfortable feeling in the hand. Its convex lower wing and the classic P1 top make this disc feel like it just belongs in your hand. The X-Factor of the P1x is its medium sized bead along the bottom rim of the disc. This bead just fits in the hand much better than the very apparent bigger bead on most other beaded putters.
Aussie Open Player Packs and Hotel Bookings
Registered players for the 2015 Aussie Open will be treated to a player pack that is absolutely 'chockas' with some very special goodies. Our tournament sponsors have come through with some real treats and we are pretty excited about what we have in store for you.
Registered players have been asked for their sizing preferences to ensure that each player pack contains items specifically suited to them. To ensure competitors receive a full player's pack in their preferred sizing, players need to register by December 15th. As you may know, Australia is pretty far from most places and so it takes a while for stuff to get here! Only players registered by December 15th are guaranteed to receive a full player pack.
Scarborough Beach Clock Tower
The official tournament hotel, the Sorrento Beach Resort, has offered the best rates for Oceanside accommodation in Perth to our competitors. The Aussie Open is in the middle of summer here in the Southern Hemisphere and thus a very busy time for a hotel right next to the beach. The hotel has also requested that we provide them with our rooming list in December. Players can choose their hotel preferences during the registration process, and our team will contact you to confirm your choice, make the booking and contact you to arrange payment.
The final cut off for registration for the 2015 Aussie Open will be the 5th of January. Players can continue to register until this time, however we recommend players compete registration by December 15th so they don't miss out on some great items and the opportunity to stay at the tournament hotel next to the beach with free transportation to the course.
Birds of Thunder Down Under
The second Aussie Open fundraiser disc is a metal flake Innova Thunderbird! These limited edition discs, with artwork designed by Jake Quodling, help promote the first major in the southern hemisphere and also continue the journey through Aussie Frisbee history. Now available through a partnership with Innova, these sparkly discs feature three more Aussie disc legends.
The initial release sold out quickly, but the Discmania Store has recently made more available. Grab one before they run out. Aussies need not worry either, as The Frisbee Shop now has a limited quantity available.
Registration Now Open to All Players
The 2015 Aussie Open Presented by Discmania is now open to everyone to register. All players with a PDGA number can register here.
Several of the world's best disc golfers have already registered to compete for the $30,000 prize purse. Be sure to book your spot today to compete alongside them in this historic tournament.

TSO Testimonials
All testimonials are from 2013 Transfer Students.
"As a transfer student entering a University at last, I was a bit nervous. The presentation not only clarified everything I was unsure of and hesitant to ask, but made me so excited to take advantage of everything I learned was available to me. I think the group of people who presented did a really great job."
"Attending this orientation was one of the best decisions I've made. The staff was extremely helpful in explaining how to utilize our student resources. Thanks to this orientation, I was able to get all the classes I needed and know exactly how my financial aid money would be distributed. Last but not least, I was given a tour of the campus, where i was given the opportunity to visualize where many buildings are located."
"I loved the orientation! It was extremely informative and I feel as though my first week at CSUF wouldn't have gone so smooth without it!"
"Attending the orientation was also useful because it put so many faces in front of me. Some of the faces are students whom I've had the pleasure of sitting with in a couple of my classes this semester."
"When I left the orientation , I was so motivated and empowered. I remember how proud I was to be part of this prestigious college! The orientation leaders were exciting and you could tell that there was no other college they wish they were part of other than CSFU. That's how I felt!"
