This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Delirium is a confused mental state that causes changes in awareness and behavior.
Delirium is a confused mental state that can occur in patients who have cancer, especially advanced cancer. Patients with delirium have problems with the following:
There are three types of delirium:
Delirium may come and go during the day.
The symptoms of delirium usually occur suddenly. They often occur within hours or days and may come and go. Delirium is often temporary and can be treated. However, in the last 24 to 48 hours of life, delirium may be permanent because of problems like organ failure. Most advanced cancer patients have delirium that occurs in the last hours to days before death.
This summary is about delirium in adults.
Delirium may be caused by cancer, cancer treatment, or other medical conditions.
There is often more than one cause of delirium in a cancer patient, especially when the cancer is advanced and the patient has many medical conditions. Causes of delirium include the following:
It is important to know the risk factors for delirium.
Patients with cancer are likely to have more than one risk factor for delirium. Identifying risk factors early may help prevent delirium or decrease the time it takes to treat it. Risk factors include the following:
The risk increases when the patient has more than one risk factor. Older patients with advanced cancer who are hospitalized often have more than one risk factor for delirium.
Delirium causes changes in the patient that can upset the family and caregivers.
Delirium may be dangerous to the patient if his or her judgment is affected. Delirium can cause the patient to behave in unusual ways. Even a quiet or calm patient can have a sudden change in mood or become agitated and need more care.
Delirium can be upsetting to the family and caregivers. When the patient becomes agitated, family members often think the patient is in pain, but this may not be the case. Learning about differences between the symptoms of delirium and pain may help the family and caregivers understand how much pain medicine is needed. Health care providers can help the family and caregivers learn about these differences.
Delirium may affect physical health and communication.
Patients with delirium are:
They often need a longer hospital stay than patients without delirium.
The confused mental state of these patients may make them:
This makes it harder for health care providers to assess the patient's symptoms. The family may need to make decisions for the patient.
Possible signs of delirium include sudden personality changes, problems thinking, and unusual anxiety or depression.
When the following symptoms occur suddenly, they may be signs of delirium:
The symptoms of delirium are a lot like symptoms of depression and dementia.
Early symptoms of delirium are like symptoms of depression and dementia. Delirium that causes the patient to be inactive may appear to be depression. Delirium and dementia both cause problems with memory, thinking, and judgment. Dementia may be caused by a number of medical conditions, including Alzheimer disease. Differences in the symptoms of delirium and dementia include the following:
Older patients with cancer may have both dementia and delirium. This can make it hard for the doctor to diagnose the problem. If treatment for delirium is given and the symptoms continue, then the diagnosis is more likely dementia. Checking the patient's health and symptoms over time can help diagnose delirium and dementia.
Physical exams and other laboratory tests are used to diagnose the causes of delirium.
Doctors will try to find the causes of delirium.
Treatment includes looking at the causes and symptoms of delirium.
Both the causes and the symptoms of delirium may be treated. Treatment depends on the following:
Treating the causes of delirium usually includes the following:
In a terminally ill patient with delirium, the doctor may treat just the symptoms. The doctor will continue to watch the patient closely during treatment.
Treatment without medicines can also help relieve symptoms.
Controlling the patient's surroundings may help with mild symptoms of delirium. The following may help:
Patients who may hurt themselves or others may need to have physical restraints.
Treatment may include medicines.
Medicines may be used to treat the symptoms of delirium depending on the patient's condition and heart health. These medicines have serious side effects and the patient will be watched closely by a doctor. These medicines include the following:
Sedation may be used for delirium at the end of life or when delirium does not get better with treatment.
When the symptoms of delirium are not relieved with standard treatments and the patient is near death, in pain, or has trouble breathing, other treatment may be needed. Sometimes medicines that will sedate (calm) the patient will be used. The family and the health care team will make this decision together.
The decision to use sedation for delirium may be guided by the following:

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the causes and treatment of delirium. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

She has the same look and the same great performance, but upon closer inspection you'll see significant differences in the way this boat is being built since Fountain took over the reins at Baja. Read this article for an in-depth description of how Reggie Fountain is building the 278.
The Back Story
Baja and Fountain have had a pretty rough time of it the last year or so. First, Brunswick sold Baja to Fountain Powerboats, which seemed like a good match. And it was, until the Great Recession caught up with one of Reggie's bankers and it sold his paper to a west coast quick-buck vulture fund. That caused Reggie to seek the protection of Chapter 11 in order to keep the company that he had built up over the last 30 years. While all of this was going on late last summer and fall, work on Baja boats pretty much came to a halt.
Happily, a North Carolina court threw out the vultures and accepted the bid of a company that has been in the boat business for many years and which cares about boats, boaters, and the sport. It is the same company that owns Donzi and Pro-Line, so it is familiar with high-performance, respects what Reggie has accomplished, and has kept him on as President of Baja by Fountain, as well as Fountain Powerboats.
During the last six weeks or so, production has resumed at Reggie's huge factory in Washington, N.C. and long-time staff are being re-hired and production is once again underway. All of which goes to show that even a tough recession can't keep a good man or a good brand down.
The most important party of "The Back Story" for current Baja prospects is that Fountain and company are building the Bajas much differently – and better. We'll tell you all about it.
Born of Outlaw, But Law Abiding
Once you know that steely look, you'll forever recognize an Outlaw at a glance. But therein lies the problem. Many boaters appreciate the Outlaw's performance— the deep-V hulls and plenty of horsepower —but they also want a boat with a bit more "mainstream" appearance. That is to say, for some people the Outlaws were a bit too much on the Spaghetti Western side – too much Lee Van Cleef and not enough Clint Eastwood. While Baja customers like to ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet, they like to do it in a modicum of comfort with other watersports possibilities.
For these more genteel outlaw customers, the Baja Performance series was designed. The 278 Performance we tested is noticeably similar to Baja's 26 Outlaw, but without that distinctively hard, almost raw Outlaw appearance.
Notice the optional extended swim platform. The windscreen is also optional and part of the "Boss" package. Check out the two hatches up on the bow and a stainless steel rail running in between.
Performance Enhancements
Perhaps the three most noticeable features of the 278 Performance are also the three biggest departures from the Outlaw. A stainless steel low-profile bow rail in the center of the bow and two black Plexiglas hatches on either side are meant to accent the boat's look, not blend. A Plexiglas windscreen also offers a decidedly softer look than the Outlaw's trademark wedge, and the cantilevered transom includes a molded-in swim deck. Our test boat also included an optional bolt-on extended swim platform. The two platforms combined not only change the look of the boat, but are also a bit nicer for swimming than the Outlaw's aluminum stern platform.
Of course this Performance series keeps many of the Outlaw's traits, too. Our 278 Performance had bold graphics both molded into the gel coat of the hull and also stitched into the upholstery. The racing-style helm and companion seats feature drop-out bottoms so they work well as wrap-around leaning posts when the combination of seas and speed make it more comfortable to stand. A bench seat provides seating back in the stern, with a sun pad abaft that.
Two seats with drop down bolsters will wrap-around you when standing or sitting, and are designed for sustained high-speed operations. We like the standard windshield, shown here, as opposed to the optional tinted low-profile windscreen.
Livorsi gauges mounted on a non-glare panel aid in visibility while reducing eye-strain on sunny days. Now all the builder needs to do is gelcoat or Imron the dash a dark color as well to minimize the glare in the windshield. Clearly this was not a problem with the small dark plexy wind diverter that is standard equipment.
The "Fountain Difference"
Now that Baja's are being built by Fountain, there are major changes to the way the 278's, and indeed the entire Baja line, are built. Not so much with the looks and performance, but with the build process itself. Let's go over them and discuss the advantages and disadvantages.
1. 100% Vinylester Resin – This is not a new product, but because of its cost, most often it's used in only the skin coat with general purpose resin used inside of the skin coat. Vinylester resin is stronger, more resilient, prevents blistering, and is more prone to inhibit delaminating. So Fountain said "let's use it exclusively." It makes for a more expensive boat, but a longer-lasting one, as well.
2. Hand-laid fiberglass vs Infusion – When injecting resin into a mold, you sometimes can't see if the fiberglass is completely saturated with the proper amount of resin -- particularly when getting way up into the corners. If fiberglass strands are not properly encapsulated with resin they are only as strong as straw. By rolling on the resin by hand, quality control goes up exponentially. Again it costs more, but the result justifies it.
3. High Density Foam Core vs Balsa – Baja used to use balsa core to make their hulls light and strong. End-grained balsa core has a puncture resistance far greater than does closed-cell foam. However, if water gets into the balsa core the material can turn soggy, pick up weight and even rot. Foam core does not absorb water and will not rot.
4. Stringers vs Liners – Baja had some major warranty issues with their hull and deck liners many years ago. When laying them into the hull, there could be problems getting them to lay down smoothly to make proper contact. As a result adhesive material that was supposed to bond the liner to the outside skin was problematical. This construction method allowed for high and low spots, and therefore uneven adhesion to the hull, or in some places the absence of it all together, we're told. Fountain's stringer system lays down into the hull and then gets bonded directly to it by hand, making the hull and stringer system as solid as one unit. This is building the old fashioned, tried and true–way.
5. Unitized Construction - Here's where it gets interesting. Baja, along with many other builders, at one time bonded the hull and decks at the rub rail with polyurethane sealant and screws. Polyurethane adhesives provide the advantage of a rapid development of "green strength," where the adhesive provides an initial bond before fully curing. This reduces the need for clamping and holding materials, thereby cutting costs and increasing manufacturing and construction flexibility. But polyurethane is not good enough for Fountain. He uses plexus advandced methacrylate adhesive. The company calls it "fiberglass fusion."
Fountain doesn't build Bajas that way. Fountain uses a four part process--
a. Plexus adhesive and rivet the hull and deck together
b. Thru bolt them together using Nylock nuts
c. Fiberglass the deck to the hull on the inside
d. Screw the rub rail on with the screws going through both the hull and deck.
Once again, this is a matter of building a boat the old fashion way. The result is a boat that is stronger, more solid feeling, especially when running hard in rough seas, and it is also less likely to leak.
6. Hydraulic Steering – Baja used to use a ride-guide steering system with cables. It allowed for stretching and introducing give into the steering system. The result was a marked amount of play that caused side to side motion at high speeds. Sometimes this is referred to as chine-walking. Hydraulic steering can eliminates that problem if chine walking is due to the steering. It's a $3,000 upgrade, which is now standard on all Bajas with Mercury 496 engines and larger. If you want to save a few grand, then you can still opt for the old steering, but Reggie Fountain, and therefore Baja, doesn't recommend it.
7. Raised "X-dimension"-- The "X-dimension is the height of the prop relative to the bottom of the boat. By raising this dimension, Baja has improved the handling (they tell us, anyway). Also, by reducing the gearing from 1:4.96 (what you and I call 1 to 1 ½) to 1:6.7, the boat responds much like doing a hole shot in your car at a lower gear. You get better acceleration and faster times to plane. They also increased the pitch of the four bladed stainless steel prop which increase the WOT speed.
8. Newly designed cabins – The old cabins were built around the old fiberglass liner system. Now that the new stringer system is being used (see above) it required a slight modification of the cabins. You probably won't notice unless you do a side-by-side comparison, but it's there.
9. Water Testing – All new Bajas are water tested, just like all of the Fountain powerboats . Two hours of running it through its paces to be sure it operates at optimum performance. This means that you get a turn-key boat with fewer dealer prep issues. And no, Baja is not hiring test drivers. We already asked.
While all these changes certainly make for a more expensive boat, they also make for a stronger, more reliable boat, and since no one is buying a Baja to keep the price down, it's a fair trade-off. And Baja by Fountain boats are still the best values in the high-performance category.
Below Deck
While the 278 Performance cabin is re-designed, it is very similar to the Outlaw as well, with a Porta-Potti concealed beneath the V-berth. Port and starboard bench seats, with plenty of legroom between, provide a comfortable retreat from the elements when necessary, and the seat backrests remove and become fillers, turning this seating area into another sleeping berth. Both in the cabin and throughout the boat, Baja includes plenty of storage—large lockers for bulky items and also small nooks and crannies perfect for the little things we always need on the water—sunscreen, sunglasses, cell phone, and MP3 player.
The cabin has been re-designed to accommodate the new stringer system underneath. The back rests for the two opposing sofas come off to form another lower berth. Note the two overhead hatches for added natural light, as well as dual emergency escapes.
Bad Boy Performance
The one feature Baja's designers wouldn't change is the 278's infamous performance. This 278 is built on a very similar deep-V hull as the Outlaw, and also offers engine choices up to 600 horsepower. Our test boat's "mere" 425 horsepower MerCruiser 496 Mag High Output engine reached 63.0 miles-per-hour. I can only imagine what the boat would do with nearly 50 percent more horsepower. We were on plane in 4.5 seconds and through 30 miles-per-hour in 8.4 seconds, with the Bravo I stern drive turning a Mercury Mirage 23-inch 3-blade stainless steel prop. Our best economy was at 35.5 miles-per-hour where we burned 12 gallons-per-hour and traveled 2.97 miles-per-gallon of gas. That gives the 278 a 270-mile range from the boat's 101-gallon fuel tank, allowing for a 10% safety reserve.
A surprisingly roomy engine installation allows for easy checks and all around visibility. The fire suppression system is an option. Notice the beefy electrically actuated hydraulic lift.
Handling Characteristics
Of course performance numbers only tell part of the story. It is hard to convey just how the boat feels on the water. In particular, it responds quickly and very predictably to the throttle. One reason for this is that Baja specifically avoids stepped hulls, which would undoubtedly make their boats a knot or so faster. But hull steps can also cause some problems.
The theory behind a stepped hull is simple. The bottom of the boat makes an abrupt vertical jump all the way from the port side to the starboard (literally a "step" in the hull). As the boat reaches planing speed this step draws air in from above the waterline and forms a pocket of air along the bottom of the hull just aft of the step. This decreases the wetted surface of the boat traveling through the water and thereby increases top-end speed.
For maximizing performance, there is no doubt that steps do work. The problem with some, but not all, stepped hulls is found at mid-range speeds, where we tend to run most of the time. As the boat slows down just a bit, the step draws in less air, increases resistance, and slows the boat down even more. Bump the throttle up just a touch, making the boat speed up a bit, and the step draws more air, decreases resistance, and makes the boat go faster than intended. Steps, therefore, often create a never-ending cycle of throttle adjustments to try to achieve a desired speed. They're also more sensitive to drive and tab adjustments in my experience. And, obviously, Reggie can do without them in the Baja hulls.
With this in mind, Baja avoids stepped hulls, resulting in a boat that is easier to operate—just push the throttle and go. Trim is important on any performance boat, but with Baja, trim is as important as it relates to feel in the steering wheel. Operate in a beam sea and the boat tends to lean into the waves a bit. A touch of trim levels her out and eases steering feedback.
Deep-V Better in Square Waves
Baja makes another sacrifice in their hull design that limits top-end performance by using a true deep-V hull. The flatter a boat's bottom, the faster it will go for a given amount of horsepower. Knowing this, many manufacturers flatten out the bottom, particularly near the stern; the result is a boat that is faster in smooth water.
Deadrise is the angle of the bottom of the boat in relationship to the waterline when looking at the transom of the boat. Baja's 24-degree deadrise at the transom is about as deep as deep-V hulls get, and it really pays off when the seas kick up, with a deeper V providing a smoother ride. The trade off is that the deeper V takes more horsepower to run (which Baja provides), and burns a bit more fuel to achieve a given speed, and will not go as fast – all things being equal – as a boat with a lower deadrise, say 19-degrees.
Former Outlaw is Respectable Now
So what is the real difference between the Outlaw and the Performance series? In short, we'd say Baja's Performance series is for the boater that is an outlaw at heart, but doesn't want to be seen as the black sheep of the marina.

Mary Lucier: The Plains of Sweet Regret
September 30–November 19, 2006
This exhibition by renowned American contemporary artist Mary Lucier—the first of four exhibitions devoted to exploring the power of place—evokes the melancholy grace and quiet grandeur of a way of life that is slipping away across the Prairies and the Plains. Employing five channels of synchronized video, surround sound, and several rescued schoolhouse chairs, Lucier leads viewers through the empty landscape—to the birthing pens and the rodeo arenas, returning us to the West of our imaginations. Lucier's provocative multi-media works were among the first video pieces to be collected by major museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Commissioned by the North Dakota Museum of Art with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the City of Grand Forks through the North Valley Arts Council. Production funded by Create Capital and the Rockefeller Foundation. Curated by Laurel Reuter, Director, North Dakota Museum of Art.
Mary Lucier: The Plans of Sweet Regret is made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, as part of its support of UMMA's 2006–07 season.

The Kristen Stewart Cheating Scandal of 2012 just chalked up another casualty -- the marriage of Liberty Ross and Rupert Sanders, TMZ reports.
Ross has filed paper in Los Angeles Superior Court to divorce Sanders, who was caught by paparazzi making out with Stewart last year. Ross is seeking joint custody of the couple's two children, TMZ says. Ross is also asking for spousal support and attorney's fees.
Sanders has also requested joint custody of the kids, TMZ says.
Sanders' affair with Stewart, whom he directed in "Snow White and the Huntsman," made headlines last year and prompted the breakup of "Twilight" lovers Stewart and Robert Pattinson. They have since reconciled.
TMZ says Ross and Sanders were trying to repair their marriage via counseling. Their kids are aged 5 and 7.

Augusta, GA--Shawn Skelly netted the deciding goal for the Augusta RiverHawks in the shootout as RiverHawks prevailed over Mississippi RiverKings, 4-3 (1-0 SO).
The two teams needed nine turns to complete the shootout.
Augusta overcame a one-goal deficit to capture the victory. The RiverHawks trailed 3-2 after a power play goal by Mississippi RiverKings' Steven Kaunisto at 2:07 in the third period. Augusta tied things up at 3-3 on a goal by Casey Mignone at 19:48 in the third period.
Mignone was all over the ice for the RiverHawks, as he had two goals in the win.
With 25 shots on target during the contest, Augusta exceeded the 22.3 shots it averages per game this year.
Kyle Watson also scored for Augusta. In addition, Augusta received assists from Matt Auffrey, who had two and Curtis Megginson and Alex Morton, who each chipped in one.
Mississippi RiverKings put 46 shots on net during the contest, more than the 26.7 it averages per game.
Mississippi RiverKings was helped by Darrell Stoddard, who racked up one goal and one assist. Stoddard scored 19:04 into the first period to make the score 1-1. Mike MacDonald assisted on the tally. Mississippi RiverKings additionally got points from MacDonald, who also tallied one goal and one assist. Other players who recorded assists for Mississippi RiverKings were Matt Harrington, Todd Hosmer, and Kyle Lundale, who contributed one a piece.

If you've never tried oven-roasted veggies, you've been missing out on one of life's most delicious and nutritious treats. Oven roasting brings out the natural sweetness and goodness of almost any vegetable and changes the taste significantly. Start first with a vegetable that you know you like and then pleasantly surprise yourself by roasting a veggie that you're not so fond of. I never cared for brussels sprouts until I started oven-roasting them and now they're one of my favorites.
One of my New Year's resolutions was to increase my vegetable intake. Below is a list of the veggies I've consumed during the past seven days:
4 cups of brussels sprouts
10 cups of baby spinach
1 head romaine lettuce
4 cups of broccoli
2 onions
4 tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper
3 portobello mushroom caps
2 stalks of celery
(I've certainly been channeling my inner rabbit, haven't I?)
Oven-roasted Brussels Sprouts, Onion and Mushrooms
1 lb brussels sprouts, stem ends trimmed, leave small ones whole and cut larger ones in half
1/2 red onion, cut into thick slices
3 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed, cut into thick slices
2 TBSP olive oil, divided
salt, pepper and Italian seasoning
2 slices center cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (for garnish, optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Place trimmed brussels sprouts in bowl and drizzle with one tablespoon of the oil. Stir to coat, then season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Spread onto prepared baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes then remove from oven and stir so that even browning occurs. While brussels sprouts are baking place the onion and mushroom slices in a bowl, drizzle with remaining oil and season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Add onions and mushrooms to baking sheet with the brussels sprouts and return pan to oven. Continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes until all veggies are lightly browned and brussels sprouts are tender. Remove pan from oven and serve immediately.
Garnish with bacon pieces if desired.

MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN -- The U.S. Olympic snowboard team has a High Sierra attitude.
Six of the 10 athletes nominated to the team Sunday are based in Lake Tahoe and Mammoth, including Northstar's Shaun White.
The legendary snowboarder/skater performed at his best when it mattered in the final Olympic halfpipe selection event at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix in Mammoth.
White had a smooth yet explosive first run to seal his second victory in a row here and earn a trip to the Sochi Games, where he will try to win his signature event three consecutive times.
White edged Truckee's Danny Davis, who qualified for Sochi after barely missing out in 2010.
"I don't know points, I don't know any of that stuff but I know I'm riding well again," he said after scoring a victory and second place in three selection events at Mammoth.
Davis did it on his final run after falling on the first go around. Rallying like he did doesn't surprise his mom, Laura Davis.
"That's the way he rolls," she said.
Kaitlyn Farrington, who grew up on a cattle ranch in Idaho, all performed when need by posting a 91.4 to win the women's competition, ending Kelly Clark's four-event winning streak. Clark, of Mammoth Lakes, finished second, but had previously earned a spot on her fourth Olympic team.
Another late comer was South Lake Tahoe's Hannah Teter, who earned her third consecutive bronze to make her third Olympic team.
But two other two-time Olympians failed to advance in what is called the world's toughest halfpipe competition.
Gretchen Bleiler of Aspen, Colo., finished fifth in the overall standings and tried to wear a brave face.
"It's so tough," the 2006 Olympic silver medalist said. "I was so close."
Two-time Olympian Elena Hight of South Lake Tahoe finished sixth overall.
White, who also qualified in the new slopestyle event with Sage Kotsenburg and Chas Guldemond of Truckee, wants to win both events.
He wasn't trying to put an exclamation point on the week by his virtuoso performance in the glistening halfpipe.
"I have this overall goal in mind," he said.
White needed to perform well because he can't duplicate the pressure of competing in practice runs, he said.
The American team also features rising brother-and-sister stars Taylor and Arielle Gold, who will join figure skater Gracie Gold in Sochi. They are not related as best as father Ken Gold knows.
"But we hope to meet her in Sochi," the dad added.
With so many berths on the line Sunday, the riders woke up to a pressure-packed day.
Davis, whose dad grew up in Campbell, put on a "good country tune" to relax.
Teter, the 2006 Olympic champion, also relied on her tunes.
"I felt pressure, but I listen to music so I don't listen to my own pressure-filled head," she said.
Teter, who grew up in Vermont but has lived in Tahoe for nine years, credited the sunny weather of the Sierra for her success at Mammoth. She said the early events in Colorado were too cold to compete well.
"I definitely felt the heat," Teter added. "But sometimes that makes me get in the zone when I've got to do it -- all or nothing. It pushed me to be in the spotlight and I like the spotlight."
Now that spotlight will get a little bit brighter next month in Sochi.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Union College's Tarik Smith (Tempe, Ariz.) scored a game-high 25 points, as the Bulldogs pulled away from St. Andrews (N.C.) in the second half in an 81-54 win on Wednesday evening at Robsion Arena in Appalachian Athletic Conference action. The game was the 2012-13 AAC opener for both teams.
With the win, UC moved to 5-4 overall on the year, 1-0 in AAC, while St. Andrews fell to 0-7 overall, 0-1 in the AAC with the loss.
At the end of the first half, Union held a slim 32-28 lead over St. Andrews, in a period where both teams were having trouble scoring. Overall, UC shot just 32 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes, while St. Andrews was held to just 25 percent shooting.
In the second half, the Bulldogs pulled away from the Knights in the first few minutes of the period. In the first two minutes, Matthew Thomas (New York, N.Y.) single-handedly put Union up 10 (40-30) after making two threes and a jumper. The threes continued to rain over the next couple of minutes for the Bulldogs, capped by a James Strange (Pineville, Ky.) tray at the 16-minute mark that gave UC a 46-32 lead.
From there, the Bulldogs continued to roll, taking an insurmountable 20-point lead (55-35) with 12-minutes left after an Archie Adams (Aiken, S.C.) jumper. The closest St. Andrews would come to the lead the rest of the night was 12 (57-45 with eight minutes left), as Union coasted down the stretch to notch a convincing 27-point victory in their AAC season opener.
The Bulldogs eventually put the game away on the heels of a strong second half, in which they outscored St. Andrews 49-26. The UC defense was also stout in the win, holding the Knights to just 29 percent shooting from the floor.
Overall, Smith recorded his 25-point night on 10-of-20 shooting from the field, nailing 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Smith also pulled down seven rebounds on the night, as well.
Other double-digit scorers for the Bulldogs included Adams, who notched his second double-double of the year with 14 points (on 7-of-8 shooting) and a game-high 18 rebounds. The 18 'boards for Adams were a season-high for the junior, as he also blocked three shots on the night, as well. The final double-digit scorer for UC was Strange, who also finished with 14 points.
St. Andrews was led in the loss by DJ Carnegie, who finished with 17 points.
The Union College men's basketball team returns to action on Saturday, traveling to Tennessee Wesleyan for another AAC contest. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m.

March 22 is World Water Day. Here's the story of one mother in a Zambian village who faced deep hardship because her family didn't have access to clean water — until World Vision began working in her community.
"I have lived here since my childhood, but my mouth has never tasted clean water fetched with my own hands into my own house," says Perhaps, a mother who lives in southern Zambia.
"Now that we have this water given to us by World Vision, I do not want to think of childhood water struggles."
Clean water has now reached Perhaps Hamundi's family and the entire community of Bwizubwalema, Zambia. But it came after many years of struggle.
Perhaps, 25, recounts some of the hardships she used to face.
"Because of water problems, I was very thin," she says. "Now, I look healthy, because I worry no more. I spend much time with my family and doing other chores. I no longer have to walk a long distance to fetch water."
Perhaps smiles constantly now. Just a year ago, that wasn't the case. She was still getting her family's water from a distant, unprotected well, which was contaminated and routinely gave her children severe diarrhea.
"I used to wake up very early in the morning, when other people were fast asleep, just to rush so that I didn't find that the water was finished at the well," she remembers. "I used to spend long hours waiting for water at the well. We were sharing the same water with animals."
If that wasn't bad enough, the well would often dry up during the hot months. "We used to suffer a lot; we had to dig deeper and deeper," says Perhaps.
But Perhaps says her family's life has now changed for good — and not just because they have safe water to drink.
"Now, we are living a healthy life. We eat three times a day, unlike before," Perhaps says proudly.
"This was not because we did not have food, but because I lacked time to prepare the food for my family. My family used to eat very late every day, because I used to spend much of the time fetching water."
She adds that the nearby borehole in her community has inspired her family to become more economically productive. "We want to start gardens now that we have the borehole, which World Vision drilled a few months ago."
The story of Perhaps and her children illustrates how clean water is an indispensable tool in the fight against poverty. Its absence causes chronic illness, keeping children out of school and slowing economic development among adults.
Moreover, when a clean water source isn't nearby, children and families are often forced to spend hours traveling long distances — time that could be spent more productively on other activities, like studying.
As World Water Day is observed on March 22, World Vision continues initiatives around the world aimed at bringing greater access to this basic resource for the millions who don't have it.
Meanwhile, Perhaps says that access to clean water will create a better future for all the children in her community.
"My children will for the rest of their lives concentrate on school and not worry about water, as the case was with me when I was young," she says.
Read more about World Vision's global work with clean water, hygiene, and sanitation.
Thank God that Perhaps and her family now have a reliable source of safe, clean water. Pray for those around the world who still lack access to this basic, life-giving resource.
Make a one-time donation to World Vision's Clean Water Fund. Your gift will support our clean water, hygiene, and sanitation projects around the world through interventions like deep wells, water storage containers, piping systems, purification equipment, latrines, and more.
Give monthly to support our clean water projects. By making a monthly pledge, you'll help us reach even more children, families, and communities with life-changing water and sanitation initiatives.

Think your travel distances and times too great for the bike ? Dutch commutes are the longest in Europe.
However, this idea that somehow the shortness of journeys in the Netherlands is the reason why the Dutch cycle more than people of other nations is simply not true.
A recent report reveals that "On average Dutch people spend one and a half hours en route each day. That is 15 minutes longer than the average time on the road for citizens of 16 EU countries, and it is also the longest." Yes, you read that right. The Dutch travel for more time every day than people of other European nations. What's more, "Holland has, at 92%, the highest percentage of the total population traveling daily and France has, at 72%, the lowest percentage."
The report also mentions that "In most East European countries, traveling by public transport takes up 20% of all travel time." This reinforces something that I blogged about a few weeks back. The choices that people make about transport are in large part determined by the wealth of the nation they live in. Local public transport (i.e. the bus) is not an option that people will easily be convinced to take if a private form of transport is available. However, that private form of transport can be a bicycle rather than a car: "Of the 91 minutes that the Dutch travel on average per day, 17 of those minutes are spent on the bicycle (19%). The neighbours i.e. the Belgians and Germans, cycle on average only 5 minutes per day, and other Europeans cycle even less. In the Netherlands, Slovenia and Italy, only 7 to 8 percent of the total travel time is spent on public transport."
Dutch people know that they travel a lot, but, as is common everywhere, they over-estimate the difference between their travel times and those of other nationalities: "Dutch people think they commute longer than residents of other countries, but in reality things are better than they suppose. Commuters in Holland spend on average 2 minutes longer per day commuting than commuters do in other countries."
Journey distances - Over what distances will people cycle ?
Having established that a lack of time spent travelling isn't what makes the Dutch cycle for such a large proportion of their journeys, let's look at something else.
In all countries there are both longer and shorter journeys. In a larger country there is a potential to make longer journeys. However, the regular journeys that people make are constrained by time and in all countries most journeys are relatively short. I pointed out that 40% of journeys in the USA are under 2 miles (3.2 km) in length. Here are some figures showing what percentage of short journeys in several different countries are made by bike:
The left cluster shows how in the Netherlands, 37% of journeys under 2.5 km are made by bike. In Denmark, 27% of them are made by bike. In Germany 14% and in both the UK and the USA, 2% of journeys up to 2.5 km are made by bike.
The second cluster shows the figures for distances of 2.5 km to 4.4 km. In this case, the numbers are 37%, 24%, 1% and 1%. The third cluster of bars is for 4.5 km to 6.4 km. At this distance, 24%, 15%, 7%, 1% and 0.4% of journeys are made by bike.
Journeys of between 4.5 and 6.4 km are cycled 60 times as frequently by the Dutch as by Americans.
The Dutch cycle considerably more than people in other countries which spend less on cycling infrastructure.
What keeps people from cycling is not distance. Rather, people won't cycle even for short journeys if the cycling experience is not pleasant. How likely the general population is to cycle correlates very well with the level of expenditure on cycling infrastructure.
The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany all spend more than average on cycling, and the result is that their populations are more likely to cycle for short journeys than people of other countries which spend less.
In The Netherlands, everyone feels comfortable to cycle, including children, older people and those with disabilities. People make a huge number of cycle journeys each day.
In the UK and USA, only a tiny proportion of the population choose the bike even for the very shortest of journeys, and by the time you get to the 4.5 km - 6.4 km journey length, the already very small participation has already shrunk to a half or a quarter of what it was for the under 2.5 km journey length.
Other excuses are summarized here.
September 2012 update
It's been pointed out to me that some people are misinterpreting the words "Of the 91 minutes that the Dutch travel on average per day, 17 of those minutes are spent on the bicycle". This does not mean that every Dutch person has a multi-modal commute. It simply tells you how much commuting is by bike vs. other modes. In the Netherlands, just like most other countries, people do what is most convenient for them. For that reason, they mostly do not have multi-modal commutes. Most commuters use one mode for their commute, either walking, cycling or driving the whole way from home to work. Other commuters combine short journeys by foot, by bike or in a car with public transport, but these commutes are counted only as public transport commutes. Dutch railway stations do provide a lot of cycle parking in order to support combining bikes with trains, but the total capacity of the railway system is not particularly high in the Netherlands. If you live in a place where trains have standing room only during commuting times then you probably have about as much multi-modal commuting as is normal in the Netherlands.
2013 update. Do the Dutch make long journeys by bike ?
One of the other common myths about The Netherlands is that all Dutch bicycle journeys are short. This is far from the truth. As in most countries, people are more likely to choose a bicycle for a short journey than for a long journey. Figures show that a remarkable 34% of all journeys made in the entire country over a distance of under 7.5 km (5 miles) are made by bicycle. However, the figures also tell that 15% of journeys over a distance between 7.5 km and 15 km (9 miles) are by bicycle and that 2% of all journeys over 15 km are by bicycle. Now 2% isn't much, but even selecting just these longer journeys, cycling has a higher share than many countries do of all their journeys by bike. The Dutch cycle longer distances far more frequently than do people of other nations.
A later blog post demonstrates how Londoners use cars for journeys of the same lengths and for the same purposes as Dutch people use bikes.
The graph came from "Making Cycling Irresistible: Lessons from The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany", by John Pucher and Ralph Buehler.

"Are your travel distances and times too great for the bike ?"
Nah. I've been staying within 100 km of home lately, but if the trains around here were worth half a crap I'm sure I'd use them a lot more.
To think that the US was once a great rail and bike nation, perhaps rivaled only by England.

Just a formal note: In a multicultural (multi-generation, multi-income status, etc.) Europe using the term "everyone" is not helpful. It is clear to me - via this blog - that almost everyone cycles occasionally and that the people-not-born-in-this-country* cycling rate is higher in the Netherlands than most everywhere but still, and in relation to this post, if distances people are willing to cycle are different based on place of birth it would be good to know about it. Of course it's okay if there is no research and statistics and only anecdotal information is available.
Countries other than the NL do (cycling) integration worse so it help to get the most accurate picture possible as way to learn about successful solutions.
*As I understand it, the main two catergories for counting people in the NL are "born here" and "not born here", though some of the latter may become Dutch citizens. In Germany, by contrast, when someone becomes a citizen their origin does not disappear but may not be asked about -- it is good as a way to de-institutionalize racism BUT bad for integration.

Hi, I m fairly new using PS3MediaServer, i had it working under an windows computer for a while and since i started to mess up with linux i decided to make an "Home Server" for my streaming needs. I have all videos working nicely so far(the older ones), however this new format that Anime fan sub's are starting to adopt (the 10bit or Hi10) i m unable to play it properly, all videos in this format show only an black screen and only the audio can be heard. Under windows with CCCP codec pack works fine (the latest one that supports the Hi10 format) so i m sure it's something that i don't have properly configured or anything i don't have installed. All how to are always directed to Windows Users.
An small edit: if any one know's how to place subtitles from MKV containers as well that could share how you done it i would appreciate it.
My system information:
OS: Debian 6.0 all patches installed
PS3MS Version: 1.50.1 installed using this deb packages viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13046
CPU: Quad core CPU Q9550@ 2.83GHz

Sixteen Tribes Earn Bonding Authority for Renewable Energy Facilities
February 17, 2010
The U.S. Department of Treasury announced on February 11 it has allocated $1 billion in Tribal Economic Development Bonds to 76 tribes under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The allocation allows the tribes to issue low-interest bonds to finance a variety of projects, including renewable energy projects and manufacturing facilities. Of the total, more than $250 million in bonding authority is allocated to 16 tribes, located in seven states, that intend to use at least a portion of their bonding authority to finance renewable energy projects. At least $86 million of that total will finance renewable energy facilities, including nearly $11 million for a renewable energy manufacturing facility on the tribal lands of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, located in southern California. Another example is the Pueblo of Acoma, located in New Mexico, which intends to issue nearly $7 million in Tribal Economic Development Bonds to develop and construct a 15-megawatt wind farm.
Other tribes that have been allocated bonding authority for renewable energy facilities include the Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians (also known as the Campo Kumeyaay Nation), the Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, the Fort Bidwell Indian Community Council, the Mesa Grande Band of Diegueno Mission Indians, the Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, and the Round Valley Indian Tribes, all located in California. Additional tribes include the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, located in Montana; the Kaw Nation and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, both located in Oklahoma; the Yankton Sioux Tribe, located in South Dakota; the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, located in Utah; and the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. This is the second round of Tribal Bonds authorized by the Recovery Act. The first round, announced on September 15, 2009, awarded $1 billion to 58 tribes, but none of those bonds were designated for renewable energy facilities.

Please only vote if you plan on being a part of our volunteer group.
Thinking ahead to the work we will need to put into the Peninsula, I would like to see what works best for everyone in terms of worknight or workday (weekends).
Please if you vote, type a message into this thread and make a case for the day that works best for you.
We're leaning towards not having workdays on a WEEKLY basis, but more on an as-needed basis. Finding out what day works best for people is very crucial in order to eliminate the weekly worknights, especially with what I picture Peninsula looking like in my head (I haven't gotten to walk the course yet).
Please give any feedback / comments that you have.
