Atherton may seem an unlikely place for a toga party, but on Saturday there it was: some 1,600 students, many dressed in said garb, celebrating the classics.
And by classics, think Homer and Ovid, not the Beatles and Buddy Holly.
The town's Menlo School was the site of the 57th annual convention of the California Junior Classical League, a group made up of middle school and high school Latin students from around the state. Convention attendees, who represented some 45 schools including 16 from the Bay Area, took part in a variety of activities inside and out.
Some of those activities, such as recitations of Virgil's "Aeneid," had a classical flair and an academic bent. Others, such as dodgeball, not so much.
But costumed or not, wet from the pouring rain -- which canceled the planned chariot races -- or dry, participants and their teachers and family generally seemed to enjoy themselves.
"It's a good experience," said Maggie Guerra, 16, a junior at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School in Rolling Hills Estates south of Los Angeles. She was among those braving the rain on Menlo's soccer field to take part in a catapult contest.
Latin is nowhere near as popular a language as Spanish or French. But for some Latin lovers, that's part of the appeal.
Emma Pauly, a senior at Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles, started taking Latin in elementary school. "I decided that Spanish and French were too boring," said Pauly, 18. "I loved it!"
Pauly is one of just five seniors at her school studying Latin. Like her, other participants said that their programs are fairly small. But those small groups allow students to bond in ways they might not be able to in other language classes.
"Traveling with the same group all four years, you get really close with people," said Sean Neifert, 17, a senior at University High School in Irvine. He also noted that it was a chance "to be away from my parents for the weekend. So that's nice."
Another part of the appeal: participating in zany contests such as those held Saturday. The day started off with a costume contest and "spirit" competition in which toga-clad youths packed a gym to see which schools had gotten the most enthusiastically into character. The catapult competition involved an array of homemade classical weaponry forged variously from long poles, metal rods and plywood.
Pauly took part in Certamen, a Jeopardy-like trivia contest complete with buzzers and scorekeepers. Among the questions Pauly, her classmates and competitors fielded: "What was the name of Circe's island?" and "From whom did Apollo receive his first lyre?"
And those were the questions a reporter unschooled in Latin understood. Others required the participants to translate a Latin text or supply the proper Latin verb.
Pauly, whose team won the match and who plans to minor in the language when she goes to college next year, is enthusiastic about all things Latin.
"I enjoy it so much. It's fantastically useful," she said. "The mythology is fascinating. The history is fascinating. And the poetry is beautiful."
The convention, the sixth hosted by Menlo School, is a great way to get students enthusiastic about studying Latin and the classics, said Norm Colb, head of school at Menlo.
"Latin teachers go several extra miles to energize kids," added Colb, whose school has three Latin teachers and about 100 students studying the language.
Suzy Hertzberg, a history teacher at the Archer School, has attended about 13 classical league state conventions and was eager for more people to know about them and get involved.
"It's such a wonderful subculture that no one knows about," she said.

Midfielder Mesut Ozil created a few chances, but USA forward and captain Clint Dempsey helped his side stand their ground USA midfielder Jermaine Jones helped the Americans play their way into things, following a silly moment where Jones ran smack into the head referee and, frankly, got flattened The enthusiasm of USA fans was not deterred... ... even as Germany midfielder and captain Phillipp Lahm continued to threaten DeMarcus Beasley and the entire USA defence The only notable events of the first half came in two yellow cards. Here, USA defender Omar Gonzalez was booked at 37' Going into half-time, the USA fans looked gloomy at the drab play on the pitch And the Germany fans looked similarly thrilled Meanwhile, Portugal and Ghana - the two bottom teams of Group H -faced off in quite a different environment in sunny Brasília The Ghana fans banded together to cheer on their controversy-ridden squad While Portugal fans supported Ronaldo and soaked up the sun Ronaldo himself played with much more presence and intensity than he had previously at this World Cup. Midway through the first, he narrowly missed the goal on a header, which was saved by Ghana keeper Fatawu Dauda Ronaldo reacted to his very near chance to give Portugal the lead Just a few minutes later, however, Ghana defender John Boye did the job for him, when Boye knocked in a clumsy own goal at 31' Ronaldo and midfielder Joao Moutinho walked off the pitch into the break, to rest briefly on their 1-0 lead To start the second half, fans watching on in Berlin cheered for their side across the sea... ... which must have worked, as veteran Germany forward Thomas Mueller rocketed one through from the edge of the box at 55' Mueller celebrated putting his side up 1-0 early in the second and scoring his fourth goal of the tournament Yet, USA fans were still determined to see their side through the Group And a stalemate followed on the pitch. Veteran German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger made his voice heard next to USA defender Fabian Johnson Early in the second, Jones and USA midfielder Alejandro Bedoya collided, giving each other a couple bruises and bloody noses USA fans contemplated their country's inability to score and the fate they might face But, the Americans held the Germans from scoring again, even though midfielder Toni Kroos and company supplied a constant attack USA President Barack Obama watched on aboard Air Force One And by the end of it, soggy German fans celebrated their team's 1-0 victory and their topping of Group G The Americans celebrated as well, though, as their side slid through the Group as runners-up. This marked the first time in US World Cup history, that two successive teams have advanced to the Round of 16 Back at the Estadio Nacional, the sun continued to shine as Portugal and Ghana re-took the field Early on, Ghana evened things up, with a slick header from forward Asamoah Gyan that got past Portugal keeper Beto Ronaldo was clearly not pleased at the 57' minute knock that levelled the score He found his revenge, though, at 80' with a strike that Dauda couldn't save in time Ronaldo celebrated his only goal of this World Cup and his side's 2-1 victory over Ghana, although Portugal will now head home after finishing third in the Group And in one of the final two matches of this World Cup's Group stage, Algeria and Russia travelled to Curitiba, where Algeria needed a draw to advance and their foes needed a win Fans of Algeria were prepared for any sort of weather that came their way And the Russians brought a... flag. How original lads Russia coach Fabio Capello remained composed during his side's national anthem But, the country erupted merely 6' into the match, when phenom forward Alexander Kokorin drove a gorgeous header into the top left corner of the net Algeria keeper Rais M'Bolhi dejectedly retrieved the ball from the back of the net While Kokorin - known at home as 'The Russian Justin Bieber' - dashed away to celebrated and attempted to quiet the crowd with a single signature 'smoulder' Algeria fans, meanwhile, were not impressed with their side's early deficit Eventually, Russia decided to sit back on their lead, which forced keeper Igor Akinfeev to maintain a vigilant guard against Algeria forward Islam Slimani and his fellows The Algerians twisted into all sorts of shapes on their quest to even things. Here, forward Abdelmoumene Djabou became a starfish, let's say And midfielder Yacine Brahimi tried his best to ninja the ball through the Russia defence By the end of the first half, though, Russia fans could celebrate their 1-0 lead, which would send them through to the knockout stages - if it stood At the same time, Group H leaders Belgium met up with South Korea in São Paulo South Korea came out playing for their pride with intensity. Defender Kim Young-Gwon kept close to Belgium midfielder Marouane Fellaini And South Korea forward Kim Shin-Wook challenged Belgium defender Daniel Van Buyten Belgium's star midfielder Dries Mertens rued a huge miss midway through the first, which he surely should have scored to put his side ahead South Korea continued to pressure Belgium throughout, as Shin-Wook continued to fly across the pitch, this time working against defender Nicolas Lombaerts The biggest moment of the first half came right at its conclusion, when midfielder Steven Defour was given a straight red card for stepping on the shin of Shin-wook Defour walked off the pitch in silence after the incident And with that, South Korea fans celebrated holding Belgium to a scoreless draw with half of the match gone. They hoped that the Korean side would come out swinging again in the second By the time Algeria and Russia were ready to get underway once more, a crowd of Algeria fans had gathered in Paris to watch the match Russia seemed threatening at first, with forward Alexander Samedov forcing M'Bolhi to make a quick save Yet, Algeria found an equaliser at 60' when Slimani reached incredible heights to head one past Akinfeev Slimani and his team-mates celebrated the score, which brought Algeria level at 1-1 And, that was all that Algeria needed to secure the draw they needed to advance beyond Group H. Algerian fans in the Arena da Baixada celebrated the 1-1 result Players proudly ran with their flag after the match, which represented Algeria's first trip to a World Cup knockout stage in their history And back in the Arena Corinthians, South Korea and Belgium were ready to finish up their contest Although defender Yun Suk-Young and South Korea faced a 10-man Belgium side, midfielder Adnan Januzaj and the rest of the Red Devils seemed to take control of the match after the break Belgium forward Divock Origi made a shot on goal later on... But, a goal from defender Jan Vertonghen at 78' was all Belgium needed to pull ahead and claim a 1-0 victory Their 3-0 record through Group H marked the first time Belgium has ever earned 9 points at a World Cup More on sport Features Gallery International Soccer World Cup World Cup Galleries Most Read 1 Keane scores on last hurrah as Ireland win easily 23:06 2 As it happened - Transfer deadline day 00:10 3 Goal-machine Keane reckons he 'did okay' 22:51 4 David Luiz completes shock return to Chelsea 23:32 5 Preston sign Irish winger Aiden McGeady 22:35

WASHINGTON: At a time when the global economic crisis is affecting the most vulnerable across the globe, the Bush administration says the United States and other developed countries must honor their commitments to foreign assistance.
President George W. Bush was to make a pitch for continued support to poor nations on Tuesday when he hosts a daylong summit on international development aid. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Liberia President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and musician and activist Bob Geldof are among the attendees.

NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Leake pitched three-hit ball for seven sharp innings and the Cincinnati Reds parlayed star third baseman David Wright's early error Tuesday night into a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets.
Devin Mesoraco homered as the Reds won for the ninth time in 11 games. They scored three times in the first inning after Wright let a bases-loaded, two-out grounder skip through his legs.
Leake (4-2) struck out four, walked two and became the latest pitcher to shut down the Mets at Citi Field. New York has lost 10 of 12 at home, rarely scoring many runs.
Leake escaped his biggest jam by retiring slumping Ike Davis on a grounder with runners on second and third to end the fourth.

007 Heaven
Ever since we were preteens, we've wanted to be James Bond and cruise the globe in search of SPECTRE and the honeys. We had every film memorized, right down to 007's witty rejoinders as he dispatched whichever supervillain he was facing at a given moment (even if the double entendres went over our heads at such a tender young age).
So when we heard "Bond. James Bond. The Exhibition" was coming to the Arizona Science Center this weekend, we busted out our boxed sets and wanted to see the gadgets, gizmos, and vehicles used by Commander Bond throughout the years, like the switchblade shoe seen in From Russia With Love and the Acrostar MiniJet from Octopussy. There are also more props, film clips of special effects, conceptual artwork, storyboards, and costumes worn by the myriad Bond girls than you can shake a martini at (not stirred, of course).
There's a very cloak-and-dagger feel to the whole affair, as visitors receive a magnetic card to use with nearby computer terminals which test their knowledge of the British super-spy.
"We think it'll broaden our audience," says Sheila Grinell, president and CEO of the Arizona Science Center. "In this community, it's hard to get on people's radar. This might get them to come and see what the rest of the place is like and get attention in a very crowded marketplace."

Padres draft Whitson with 9th pick
Written by | Bill Center | 5:18 p.m., Jun 7, 2010
Karsten Whitson, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-handed pitcher from Chipley, Fla., was the Padres first-round pick in Tuesday's annual Major League Baseball draft.
At the start of the year, Whitson was ranked among the top 10 prospects in the nation, although he had slipped slightly in several recent surveys.
Whitson was regarded as the best high school pitching prospect in Florida and has committed to the University of Florida.
Whitson has a fastball that has been clocked at 95 mph, although he pitches regularly in the 90-94 mph range. "We thought he had the best fastball in the draft," said Padres assistant general manager Jason McLeod.
Whitson's key pitch might be his slider, which has been clocked in the 80-84 range and is considered one of the best secondary pitches in the draft. He is also working on a changeup and is projected to be a three-pitch starter.
Whitson was the second high school pitcher selected in the draft and the fifth pitcher overall.
Whitson threw as many as 130 pitches in a game earlier this spring.

Your Weekly Internet Spoils: Salad Edition
My darlings we missed each other last week and for that I am so very sorry. Just imagine I was carried away by many patriotic screams of eagles to a red, white, and blue land of cocktails and berry crumbles. (Really it was me, Executive Editor Russell, who forgot to schedule the post – consider this my apology to you, Sarah, and all the rest of the people of the internet.)
I'll be sure to make it up to you this week, I promise.
Shall we?
To consume and imbibe
Whether or not you took part in America's collective hangover-inducing holiday last weekend, I'm feeling all things very light and summery at the moment, so do indulge me. (And feel free to have me over for dinner and serve all of these things, please.)
To sip I thought we'd start off with The Molly June. I'm not normally a gin girl except for the occasional French 75 (though I prefer the original recipe made with cognac honestly) it's good for us to broaden our horizons occasionally, is it not? If you hate gin so much you're thinking of burning something down, I offer you an alternative in a Mango Basil Spritzer. Please don't go to jail because of gin. Unless you're an old timey bootlegger, I guess.
Oh, and if you're French or just a rabid Francophile readying yourself to celebrate Bastille Day on Monday, may I present 15 ways to serve up bubbly?
I suppose we should also eat something, so let's have a salad bar that is so much more than sad and wilting iceberg lettuce and a terrifying large container of ranch dressing: Kale Salad with Peaches, Corn, and Basil-Honey Vinaigrette; Salmon, Asparagus, and Orzo Salad with Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette; and for a little protein, the Greek Quinoa and Avocado Salad.
For dessert I suggest an Easy Stone Fruit Tart?

Recommended Viewing: If I'm ever having a bad day, please just remind me that this video exists.
The weirdest thing I found this week: This World Cup dedication really goes beyond.
And finally, last and never least, your weekly tip on How to be a Better Human: The second part of the story to the photo of Sad Brazilian Grandpa Crying With Trophy that you most likely saw this week really warms my heart. Be like Sad Brazilian Grandpa Crying With Trophy.
A final word, or series of them.
Be good to you, and to those around you, even in your saddest moments of defeat and anger. Until next time, my dears.

HAYWARD -- Hundreds of mourners paid their final respects Tuesday night at a viewing for fallen BART police Sgt. Tom Smith Jr., who was killed by a fellow officer during a search of a Dublin apartment last week.
The body of Smith, 42, was laid in a casket draped with an American flag at Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward for the visitation. Family, friends and law enforcement from around the Bay Area, the state and beyond paid tribute to the fallen sergeant -- the first on-duty officer to be killed in the transit police department's 42-year history.
More than 200 people packed into the chapel during a private memorial service before the public viewing. Police from various Bay Area departments, including BART, Union City, Hayward and Newark, also attended the memorial.
Lt. Michael Rae, of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police Department, said he and his fellow officers came to support BART police as well as Smith's family.
"This is something we needed to do," Rae said. "Whenever any brother or sister (has fallen), it is felt at home, and we take it very seriously."
Photos arranged inside the chapel showed Smith in uniform, with his retired police dog, Boris, with his family in Oakland A's gear. An honor guard of police stood watch over his casket as mourners passed by.
Mourners were asked to take envelopes and submit their favorite memories or impressions of Smith to a memorial project in his name. As members of the Bay Area law enforcement community met up inside the chapel, those who knew Smith talked about him; others spoke of the inherent risk and wished for colleagues to stay safe.
"One thing I remember is that he was a very compassionate person," said Antoinette Taylor, who attended a police academy with Smith in 1996. "He was always concerned that everyone was OK and that everyone was going to accomplish the goal of the day.
"He had a dry sense of humor, but he was very personable. He was one who always came to you to talk one-on-one, and he spoke to everyone every day."
Officials at Hayward's Moreau Catholic High School, where Smith graduated in 1989, announced late Tuesday that students and staff would gather in front of the school to honor Smith as his funeral procession passed by Wednesday morning.
"Tommy was a leader in our community," said Dani Lorta, the director of alumni relations at the school; Lorta was also Smith's classmate. "He was someone who was as committed to his career as he was to his friends and family.
"We are reeling from the loss and are staying in close contact to support the many people whose lives he touched so deeply."
The visitation came on the eve of Smith's funeral, scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Neighborhood Church of Castro Valley, 20600 John Drive. Members of the public are welcome but are advised to arrive early, as more than 3,000 people are expected to attend.
The schedule for funeral services is as follows:
Smith died Jan. 21 when a single shot passed through a small gap in the bulletproof vest he was wearing and struck him in the chest, authorities said. The bullet was fired in error by fellow BART police officer Michael Maes, but officials have not said specifically how the incident unfolded.
Maes will attend the funeral, BART police Chief Kenton Rainey said on Monday.
Smith is survived by his wife, Kellie -- also a BART officer he met on the job -- and their 6-year-old daughter.

Initiative activist Bill Sizemore pleads guilty to tax evasion
SALEM, Ore. - Conservative Oregon initiative activist Bill Sizemore will serve 30 days in jail. The former Republican nominee for governor pled guilty Thursday to three counts of tax evasion.
Bill Sizemore was best known for his anti-tax initiatives. Now, it's a failure to file his state taxes over the course of three years that's sending him to jail.
He was set to go on trial next week. As part of the plea deal, Sizemore will serve 30 days in the Marion County jail. That's followed by three years of supervised probation, plus 100 hours of community service.
Sizemore also has to repay the state for the cost of his court-appointed attorney. And he has four months to file those missing tax returns.
In addition to being a prolific initiative activist, Sizemore won the 1998 Republican nomination for Oregon governor. He ran for governor again last year but earned just seven percent of the votes in the GOP primary.

What is your take on Indiabulls Real Estate?
Indiabulls Real Estate, at 105-110, is finding support out there. In a real estate rally, which seems unlikely for the moment, it could test 123-125 but it does not have great amount of momentum on the upside. Nothing really is significant, it is in deep downtrend.

Cedar Hill residents respond angrily to Wal-Mart overtures
Neighborsgo's Best Southwest editor Loyd Brumfield reports:
If turnout at a Monday meeting is any indication, Wal-Mart will have a tall task — to say the least — if it wants to bring one of its Neighborhood Markets to a neighborhood in Cedar Hill.
Hundreds of residents packed the sanctuary at High Pointe Baptist Church in Cedar Hill, all angrily opposing the thought of Wal-Mart moving in to the middle class neighborhood that is overwhelmingly residential in character.
Wal-Mart is considering a spot at the corner of New Clark and Wintergreen roads for a 42,000-square-foot development that will sell gas, beer and wine. It's an area that is technically zoned for retail.
An angry crowd of about 200 turned out to pepper Bill Dahlstrom, an attorney with Jackson Walker, the law firm representing the company, with questions.
But their verdict was unanimous: They don't want the retail giant in their neighborhood, which is entirely residential in nature despite the zoning of the piece of land at New Clark and Wintergreen.
Several residents noted that there already was a Wal-Mart Supercenter five minutes away on FM1382 and another that just recently opened about seven minutes away on New Clark in Dallas.
"Those are supercenters," Dahlstrom said, differentiating between the more full-service supercenters and smaller Neighborhood Markets, which will focus on produce and other grocery items.
"It doesn't matter," several in the crowd replied.
Another resident wondered why Wal-Mart wasn't considering the more upscale neighborhood of Lake Ridge, home to million-dollar homes. His question received the loudest ovation of the evening.
In addition to fears of increased crime coupled with beer-and-wine sales, several residents voiced displeasure about the lack of communication about the possible development.
Dahlstrom replied that 2,700 notices about the Monday meeting had been sent to residents.
The notices didn't mention anything about Wal-Mart, just that the purpose of the meeting was to "respond to questions concerning a grocery store development opportunity …"
Cedar Hill City Council member and mayor pro tem Chris Parvin emphasized that Wal-Mart had yet to approach the city about anything, and that once that application process starts, multiple public hearings will take place, along with Planning and Zoning and City Council meetings, before anything is approved.
But based on turnout Monday night, Parvin said he could imagine how things would turn out:
"I told myself, 'They are going to burn something down'" if Wal-Mart moves in, he said.

Welcome to the November issue of xpress.
With low confidence levels over recent months, the business community had reason to see some light at the end of the tunnel with the upcoming Christmas trading period.
Unfortunately the Reserve Bank had other ideas and the interest rate rise handed down on Melbourne Cup day will have an impact on consumer spending over the festive season.
We saw last year the impact of interest rate rises before Christmas and we will again see many businesses throughout the State remain under significant pressure.
Employment opportunities are often generated at this time of year, however lifting interest rates hits consumer confidence and ultimately deters businesses from increasing staff levels.
With retail trade struggling and the unemployment rate rising, we could see no justification for the rate rise.
The presentation of the recent Business SA 2010 Export Awards was again a great success. Eleven local companies were recognised for their exporting excellence and we wish them well at the national awards early next month.
There is a full round-up of the awards in this issue of xpress and we also profile a company that won the agribusiness award for the second consecutive year.
In a year that has been packed with elections, we had the local council elections recently and Business SA has expressed concern over the past couple of months regarding changes to legislation that required businesses to re-enrol to be able to vote.
Voting data will no doubt confirm that there was very little awareness throughout the business community about the change, a change which disenfranchises people who actually pay their rates.
The Commonwealth Bank Business SA Survey of Business Expectations for the December quarter will open in the next couple of weeks and I encourage all businesses to have their say.
There are a number of concerns throughout the business community and the survey provides the opportunity to highlight these issues.
Business SA's networking series continues to attract many members and the recent event at The University of Adelaide was no exception. It was a great evening and a full wrap-up is provided in this edition of xpress.
It's another busy edition as we also have a look at the assistance being offered from Business SA and we catch up with a couple of Business SA members.
Until next month,

Approaches to the Origin of Life on Earth

AbstractI discuss briefly the history of the origin of life field, focusing on the "Miller" era of prebiotic synthesis, through the "Orgel" era seeking enzyme free template replication of single stranded RNA or similar polynucleotides, to the RNA world era with one of its foci on a ribozyme with the capacity to act as a polymerase able to copy itself. I give the history of the independent invention in 1971 by T. Ganti, M. Eigen and myself of three alternative theories of the origin of molecular replication: the Chemotron, the Hypercycle, and Collectively Autocatalytic Sets, CAS, respectively. To date, only collectively autocatalytic DNA, RNA, and peptide sets have achieved molecular reproduction of polymers. Theoretical work and experimental work on CAS both support their plausibility as models of openly evolvable protocells, if housed in dividing compartments such as dividing liposomes. My own further hypothesis beyond that of CAS in themselves, of their formation as a phase transition in complex chemical reaction systems of substrates, reactions and products, where the molecules in the system are candidates to catalyze the very same reactions, now firmly established as theorems, awaits experimental proof using combinatorial chemistry to make libraries of stochastic DNA, RNA and/or polypeptides, or other classes of molecules to test the hypothesis that molecular polymer reproduction has emerged as a true phase transition in complex chemical reaction systems. I remark that my colleague Marc Ballivet of the University of Geneva and I, may have issued the first publications discussing what became combinatorial chemistry, in published issued patents in 1987, 1989 and later, in this field.

I graduated from UBC with a 5 year Bachelor of Education degree and have been
working in the educational field for 33 years. Previously, I was a high/middle
school teacher and Gr. 5/6 educator at Nicomekl and Noel Booth Elementary. I
live in Walnut Grove, so it had been a goal of mine to one day teach at a
school closer to home, and fortunately I was able to make the move to Gordon
Greenwood three years ago. Working with and teaching children continues to be
my passion. My husband and I have two daughters who graduated from the Langley
Fine Arts School. Shelby is a broadcast journalist for CKNW in Vancouver, and
Breanna has just finished her last year of studies at UBCO in Kelowna. I am really
looking forward to being in the classroom and having another positive
educational experience with my students, colleagues, and parent community at
Gordon Greenwood!
I am excited to meet our new class at Gordon Greenwood this year. I will be
teaching on Wednesdays covering French, Art, Science and Computers/Technology.
Before receiving my teaching degree from UBC in 2008, I worked as an Animal
Biologist and I hope to share my enthusiasm for Science and research-based
learning with the class. I am a mother to two young daughters, Brielle (4)
and Arwen (almost 2). I feel fortunate to be a part of a school with such a
positive and collaborative school community and look forward to another great

Since surgery is a "hands-on" specialty and requires exposure to a variety of patient problems and pathologies, residency training in surgery is primarily an exercise in direct patient contact. Historically, clinical education has been provided in the format of a combination of mentorship and work experience. It had been thought that an immersion into the clinical setting as a "house officer" was the best form of clinical education. Unfortunately, in a number of institutions throughout the country, this has deteriorated into a form of involuntary servitude which extracted a tremendous amount of work out of the young doctors without much of an educational experience in return.
There is no question that exposure to a broad variety of clinical conditions and operations will be the main focus of your education while in the residency, but as surgical educators, we can no longer rely on "random opportunity" to define your surgical curriculum. We must control and enhance the educational value of the rotations to which you will be assigned. The faculty, therefore, will attempt to bolster the educational experience of the rotations through informal teaching sessions, rounds, and special attention to learning opportunities presented by their patients.
The Department of Surgery at SUNY Upstate Medical University offers a traditional, comprehensive, fully ACGME accredited general surgery residency program with a curriculum emphasizing supervised experience in both traditional, open surgical procedures and newer, laparoscopic, minimally invasive and robotic techniques. Elective opportunities for basic and clinical research are also available as part of the residency program. University Hospital, a 409-bed, Level I Trauma Center, and Golisano Childrens Hospital serve 17 counties in the Upstate and Central New York area. Resident teams also rotate through the general surgery teaching services at adjacent Crouse Hospital, nearby Veterans Administration Hospital, St. Josephs Hospital Health Center and Upstate University Hospital at Community General.
Clinical duties are performed at not only University Hospital but also several community hospitals and the Syracuse Veteran's Affairs Hospital. This broad exposure to different health-care delivery models provides a balanced and complete educational experience, but also offers interaction and training from a wide variety of surgeons in all types of practice.
University Hospital: A 400+ bed, Level I Trauma Center that serves 17 counties in upstate and central New York, this hospital has recently expanded with the addition of the Golisano Children's Hospital and north towers which opened in 2009. Operating room capabilities include 19 operating rooms (adult and pediatric). Surgical services rotated on include General Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Acute Care Surgery, Transplant Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, SICU, Bariatric Surgery, Advanced Laparoscopic and Hepatobiliary Surgery. Elective surgical rotations include Orthopedic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urology and ENT.
Crouse Hospital: A 570+ bed community hospital physically connected to University Hospital, this hospital provides a wide range of surgical services and includes a 50 bed neonatal intensive care unit. Construction on new operating rooms is currently underway. Surgical services covered include General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, and Pediatric Surgery.
Syracuse Veteran's Affairs (VA) Hospital: A full-service Veteran's hospital, this facility provides surgical rotations encompassing general, vascular, and thoracic trauma in a unique patient population.
St. Joseph's (St. Joe's) Hospital: A community hospital with centers of excellence in vascular surgery and cardiac health, this private hospital, located about 2 miles from University Hospital provides rotations in vascular surgery and colorectal surgery. The vascular rotation is particularly busy with 5 surgeons and some of the highest numbers of carotid endarterectomies and peripheral bypasses in upstate New York.
Community Campus: Rotations at this hospital provide exposure to a busy general surgery service covering many of the "bread and butter" general surgery cases in Syracuse.
The Accreditation Council in Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) specifies in considerable detail what clinical experiences must be included in a general surgery residency program; the rotations in the five clinical years of our residency program conform to that "blueprint."
During the first two years of training, about half of the rotations are devoted to general surgery and its principal components (e.g. trauma, vascular surgery, etc.) with experience in surgical specialties and other (e.g. Critical Care) specialties constituting the remaining half.
In the third, fourth and fifth years, about two-thirds of the time is spent on general surgical services; the other rotations include components of general surgery, such as transplant, pediatric and vascular surgery.
Residents are assigned progressive responsibility for patient care by the supervising attending physician and the surgery Program Director/Chair based on faculty evaluations of clinical competence, including:
Promotion and assignment to progressive patient care responsibilities requires satisfactory completion of the training objectives specific for each PGY year as assessed by the faculty. Operative experience under supervision is provided and stressed at all levels of the residency. The resident progressively acquires more extensive knowledge of surgical physiology, develops technical skills and gains a thorough understanding of the aims, attitudes and philosophies of surgery. As a PGY-5, each chief resident, while working along side of the attending surgeons, is in charge of his/her own service, exercising major independent responsibility.
The rotations for the categorical residents, while slightly different from resident to resident, provide an equivalent experience during each year of training.
For the preliminary residents in orthopedics, ENT, neurosurgery and urology, the rotations have been tailored to fit within the requirements established by the specialty boards governing those training programs. For the most part, the rotations for the non-designated preliminaries are similar to the categorical general surgery residents unless specific requirements are necessary for continued training in different specialties (i.e. radiology or anesthesiology).
Please refer to the First Year, Junior Resident (PGY-2,3), and Senior Resident (PGY-4,5) sections for a more detailed breakdown of rotations.
It is not difficult to imagine the challenges dominating five or more years of clinical training. But they need not, should not, be all-consuming. Friends and family, rest and recreation, enjoyment of the arts and service to the community are no less important because you are a resident. Indeed, during this portion of your career when time is perhaps your most precious commodity, it is vital that you strike a balance in your life that allows you to progress toward personal, as well as, professional goals.
Operative experience under supervision is provided and stressed at all levels of the residency. The resident progressively acquires more extensive knowledge of surgical physiology, develops technical skills, and gains a thorough understanding of the aims, attitudes, and philosophies of surgery.

The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch
- Release Date: Mar 24, 2006
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Does a solid job of documenting the life and art of the drag grand dame, whose life has been almost as tumultuous as the characters played by the Hollywood divas he channels.
Busch lovingly and meticulously channels such grand dames as Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck and Norma Shearer in a way that surpasses imitation, camp and drag show. He captures their essence, and therefore the essence of cinema itself.
Some say all the great movie stars are gone, but I say we've still got Charles Busch. A one-man archive of vanished showbiz glamour and period acting styles, Busch has reincarnated the great ladies of stage and screen in such camp treasures as "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and "Psycho Beach Party."
An affectionate, energetic documentary, it targets the existing fans of Busch's Broadway and off-Broadway exploits, but is likely to win a lot of converts, too -- largely through Busch's endearing personality.
Living proof that hard work and dedication can lead to professional and private gratification through the best and worst of times, Mr. Busch stands as solid source material for a film and for general inspiration.
A highly informative if rather hagiographic portrait of the notable playwright and performer, The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch should prove quite enticing for the legions of fans who have followed him throughout his career.
Catania and Ignacio's film works best on the level of straightforward biography told through the reminiscences of friends, family, members of Busch's Lost-in-Limbo theatrical troupe and, best of all, Busch himself.
They gloss over concerns that mainstream Busch isn't as funny or as daring as cult Busch. Still, I'd kill for more footage of his less famous plays, like the intriguingly titled "Pardon My Inquisition," or "Kiss the Blood Off My Castanets."
The downside to what is, in essence, an authorized biography is that the movie plays like an inflated "Today" show profile; the upside is that Busch has given Catania and Ignacio complete access to the old footage from his Limbo Lounge days.
An affectionate tribute to the drag artist who has been a Manhattan institution for more than 20 years.

Mid 17th century: past participle of earlier dement 'drive mad', from Old French dementer or late Latin dementare, from demens 'out of one's mind'.
mind from Old English:
English mind shares its ancient root with Latin mens 'mind', from which demented (mid 17th century), mental (Late Middle English), and mention derive. The mind can do many wonderful things, including 'boggling'. The phrase the mind boggles, meaning that someone becomes astonished or overwhelmed at the thought of something, is first recorded in the 1890s. Boggle itself is probably a dialect word related to bogle 'a phantom or goblin' and bogey 'an evil or mischievous spirit'. Someone may have warned you to mind your Ps and Qs, 'be careful to behave well and avoid giving offence'. The expression has been known since the 1770s, but its exact origins are uncertain. One obvious suggestion is that it comes from a child's early days of learning to read and write, when they might find it difficult to distinguish between the two tailed letters p and q. Another idea suggests that printers had to be very careful to avoid confusing the two letters when setting metal type. Mind how you go!, meaning 'be careful, look after yourself', has been common in Britain since the 1940s. It was popularized by the long-running BBC TV series Dixon of Dock Green (1955–76), in which it was a catchphrase of the avuncular PC George Dixon, along with evening all.

Fos: Stuck in the middle
The Fos has an essential role to play in the protection of consumers but its best efforts are hampered because the service is hindered by the restraints imposed by the FSA
More and more, the Financial Ombudsman Service is having to behave like a referee in a bitterly contested mismatch of a fight.
On the one hand are the heavyweights, big wallets and with very little regard for the rules, on the other is the weakling of a consumer who has no chance against the big battalions.
Like all good referees, it does its best, but the truth is that one fighter is a financial giant and the consumer is but a flyweight. Necessity was the matchmaker, not a fair contest.
Ignoring for the time being that Fos, for all the flawed reasons which underpin the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, totally ignores the legitimate complaints of financial advisers when it comes to setting its levies, while in the process for reasons best known to itself, allows banks to operate like untouchables.
One particular point emphasised by Fos is that of investment vehicles with special offers over a limited period, such as fixed-rate Isas, but which do not give any formal notification when the offer comes to an end.
The report states: "As in previous years, many of the complaints involving savings accounts that we saw during the year were about poor administration by some savings-account providers – including delays and errors in opening accounts and in transferring balances between providers."
It continues: "Consumers also complained to us in cases where they felt savings-account providers had not given them clear enough information about the end of fixed-rate or bonus deals."
Fos has rightly said that because of the low-interest environment, providers are designing more complex investment products and investors are finding them more difficult to understand.
The report goes on: "These products are resulting in slightly different complaints from those we have traditionally seen in this area.
"This is sometimes because neither the consumer nor the member of staff they dealt with at the provider is entirely certain about how the savings product is designed to operate."
This raises a number of issues, including that the deliberate intension of the product design is often to introduce complexity, which crowds out even the marketing staff from having any in-depth knowledge of how the product operates.
Second, the product provider is the expert, not the consumer, so it is incumbent on the provider to provide the necessary training for staff and to simplify the details of products for consumers. This little improvement cannot be that difficult to introduce.
The numbers in the report are also impressive: the organisation handled over 1.2m complaints and enquiries, of which about 20 per cent were turned in to formal complaints.
