Study Raises Doubts Over Robotic Surgery
The use of robotic surgery for hysterectomies has grown dramatically in recent years, even though it costs one-third more than other minimally invasive surgery and has little added benefit, a major study said Tuesday.
The findings, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are likely to raise new questions about whether the fast-growing surgical technology brings value to patients along with higher costs. Since 2000, 1,370 U.S. hospitals have purchased at least one of the $1.5 million-to-$2.2 million robots, known as the da Vinci Surgical Systems, made by Intuitive Surgical Inc. ISRG -0.34 % of Sunnyvale, Calif.
The only such system for general surgery, da Vinci robots are used for a growing array of procedures, including prostate, gallbladder, cardiovascular and gynecological surgery.
In robotically assisted surgery, the surgeon sits at a console and operates four robotic arms that manipulate miniaturized tools inserted into the patient's body through small incisions. A tiny lighted camera displays the surgical field in 3-D on video screens.
Proponents say robotic surgery involves less scarring, less pain, less blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery with a large incision that can take weeks to heal.
Critics say those advantages are due to the fact that it's a minimally invasive procedure, not that it's robotic: Conventional laparoscopic surgery, in which surgeons manipulate specialized tools and video camera by hand through small incisions, is also minimally invasive, at less cost.
For the new study, researchers at Columbia University examined the records of 264,758 women who had hysterectomies—removal of the uterus—for noncancerous conditions at 441 U.S. hospitals from 2007 to 2010. During that time, robotic surgery rose from 0.5% to nearly 10% of all the hysterectomies studied and 22% of those at hospitals where robotic surgery was offered. Laparoscopic procedures rose from 24% to 30%. Open surgeries dropped but were still the most common form of hysterectomy as of 2010. A fourth option, where the uterus is removed vaginally, remained about 20%.
About 25% of the women who had laparoscopic hysterectomies stayed in the hospital longer than two days, compared with 20% of those who had robotic procedures. But the overall complication rate was the same—5%—for both groups.
The average total cost to the hospital for the robotic hysterectomy was $8,868, compared with $6,679 for a laparoscopic procedure and $6,651 for the open surgery.
"There are so many options for hysterectomies now that patients should discuss the pros and cons of all of them with their doctors," said the study's lead author, Jason Wright, an associate professor of women's health at Columbia University. The research was supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute.
Myriam Curet, chief medical adviser for Intuitive Surgical, says robotic surgery should be compared with open, not laparoscopic, surgery: "We did not develop the robot to compete with laparoscopic surgery. We developed the robot to bring the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more women."
Because robotic surgery is faster and easier to learn than laparoscopic techniques, more surgeons can offer it, the company says. The da Vinci also provides better access in complex cases such as when a patient is morbidly obese or her uterus is large—in part because the robotic tools have "wrists" on the end that bend many ways, Dr. Curet says.
"Robotic surgery does help me when I have to go really deep in the pelvis or use a lot of sutures," says gynecological surgeon Marie Paraiso at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, who uses both procedures. "But we haven't really defined which patients it helps most and it's never been shown to be cost-effective."
In a separate study published this week, Dr. Paraiso and colleagues randomly assigned 53 hysterectomy patients to either laparoscopic or robotic surgery. They found no significant differences in blood loss, pain or recovery between the groups, but the robotic surgery did take an average of 77 minutes longer than the laparoscopic version, which brings added costs.
The cost issue is complicated, however, because Medicare and private insurers generally reimburse hospitals the same amount for laparoscopic, robotic and open surgeries. Hospitals absorb the extra cost or pass it on to other patients, experts say. At the same time, many hospitals see robotic surgery as a marketing tool.
An editorial accompanying the JAMA study urged hospitals and surgeons to use caution in promoting robotic surgery in the absence of more evidence or decreases in price.
But hospitals may be reluctant to say no to new technologies. Michael Zinner, chairman of surgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital and co-author of the editorial, says robots may be a waste of money at small hospitals, but the two at Brigham are in such constant use that they are acquiring a third "and as a teaching hospital, we're pushing the technology as far as we can."

Rapidly Growing Technology Liked By Both Patients and Hospitals
Robotic surgery has grown rapidly since it was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000.
It gained popularity first among prostate surgeons, who like its precision in working with delicate male organs. By 2009, 85% of the 85,000 U.S. men who had prostate-cancer surgery had their prostates removed by the da Vinci system, according to its maker, Intuitive Surgical Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif.
With uses expanding to lung, colon, pancreas, heart and gynecological surgery, more hospitals have invested in the robots. As of last year, 1,370 U.S. hospitals had purchased at least one da Vinci system, which costs roughly $2.2 million, plus add-ons and disposable tools. The robots have performed more than 1.5 million operations world-wide, the company says.
For now, the da Vinci is the only general-surgical robot on the market. MAKO Surgical Corp. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., makes a robot for minimally invasive orthopedic procedures, and Mazor Robotics Ltd. of Caesarea, Israel, makes one for spinal repair.
Patients like robotic surgery because it speeds up recovery. And hospitals like to show they are on the cutting edge. "I've seen hospitals bring their robots to halftime shows at sporting events," said Martin A. Makary, an associate professor of surgery and health policy at Johns Hopkins University.
Still, Dr. Makary said there have been no randomized, controlled trials showing that patients fare better with robotic surgery than other minimally invasive surgery.
"We have tough choices to make about health-care expenditures," he said.

Corrections & Amplifications
The list price of the da Vinci Surgical System, made by Intuitive Surgical starts at $1 million, but can reach $2.3 million when add-ons are included. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said a system costs roughly $2.2 million plus add-ons and disposable tools.

Artist Daniel Moore has completed a pencil sketch of "A Crimson Tradition," his new work commemorating Alabama's BCS national championship this past season. It's actually the second of five paintings in a planned series titled "The Greatest Season Ever," and it joins an earlier work on Terrence Cody's game-winning field goal block against Tennessee, which is titled "Maximum Block."
"This painting will be highly symbolic," Moore said. "I want it to convey the positive ideals of Alabama's great tradition, of teamwork and winning (and in particular, the winning of the 2009 National Championship) and of course, about Coach Saban and his 'Process.'"
Moore says he's now in the oil painting stage of the process for "A Crimson Tradition." At the completion of the painting, New Life Art will immediately begin the process of publishing limited edition prints.
"I am very pleased with the outcome of my preliminary pencil study for 'A Crimson Tradition,'" Moore said. "Weeks of research and work went into developing and executing the drawing. Although this research and drawing stage doesn't take as long as the actual painting process, the overall image itself and most of the artistic considerations are developed during this time. Aside from the refinement capabilities that working in oils provides (and the obvious addition of color), I will make some minor modifications to the actual painting. As this is always the case with the transition of my drawings to paintings, it is also part of the purpose in doing them.
"In my preliminary drawing of 'Maximum Block,' I did not include Nico Johnson, but after reevaluating the study, I saw where the composition called for the additional Alabama player. As was the case with the 'Maximum Block' drawing, a limited edition of prints from the preliminary pencil drawing of 'A Crimson Tradition' will be made available."

Dwindling inventory and eager homebuyers equate into two things: rising prices and faster sales.
In March 2012, a home in the tri-county region averaged 112 days on the market before being sold. The region fell below the 100-day threshold in September.
Homes sold in March averaged 87 days on the market, according to the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors. Still, that pales in comparison to periods of 2005 and 2006, when 50 days or less was not uncommon.
Apartment life
The region's residential rental occupancy rate slipped over the fall and winter, and the trend could continue as more multifamily developments are built, according to Real Data.
The Charlotte firm said in a recent report that demand was flat for Charleston-area apartments since September and that the occupancy rate had edged down to 91.7 percent.
Real Data said rates "will likely experience a slight decline going into 2014 as nearly 2,500 units come on-line." The March report showed average monthly rent was $842, down from $853 in September.

Price was right for Applemen
December 23, 2012
Some years ago, an apparent first-time author from West Virginia penned a book detailing the best football coaches in the state of West Virginia....
DEPLOYED: I see you havent matured since your years out of school if you dont even know me and call me a Dousche. Trust me,I had a father,A Vet and a man who coached little league baseball for years,and he made time to teach the game,listen to the kids and not act like a jerk. I understand your loyalty to Price,you played football and he probably treated you half decent,but for alot of us it wasnt like that period. I do think he deserves recognition for his on the field accolades,but nothing more,PERIOD.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree. Price treated you like garbage if you didn't play football for him. Sure, he may have had his golden years as a coach. As a teacher, someone who is supposed to enrich the lives of all kids you come into contact with, not only would he not give the time of day but he would almost insult you or look at you like an idiot when you spoke to him. Let him retire and he doesn't deserve anything named after him except a program to learn how to deal with people. A complete Richard Cranium.

Sometimes I wonder where you people get your information. I know PLENTY of people who did not play football who Price did not treat like garbage. Why shouldnt he be honored? what other coach around here will leave a legacy like he did? I know many players that played for him personally and I know how much of an impact he made on their lives. The writer of this article is point on he deserves something more than just a press conference. Disagree all you want its the truth. You people need to stop being so bitter.

I can personally say coach price is a great man! No I didn't play football for him and nor my brother! He has always shown me the upmost respect every time I saw him including my family! You all shouldnt bash somebody who is very successful just because that's the only way to build your self esteem! Give respect when respect is do and stop being******and putting him down he doesn't deserve it after all his hard work and time he has put into MHS football

Are we talking about a football coach and his accomplishments or are we talking about personal relationships. What different does it make if Coach Price spoke to you or not. Was that the changing point in your life? I doubt it. This man is a legand and he needs to be recognized for that. You don't find very many coaches that has dedicated 40 years of his life to something that he is so passionate about. When you say negative things about Coach Price I really believe you have him confused with the Bulldog coach. Get over it. He deserves it and I say lets make it happen.

MomOf3, I think we're agreeing in concept, except that it seems you're confusing winning high school football games with being a great person. If that is your crieria, then the coach you've insulted-- Dave Walker, is not just great, he's already one if the greatest of all time and is on pace to be the greatest man that ever lived. I doubt you're willing to go that far.

OMG have you people even thought about the fact that maaybe, just maybe its the talent of the football team and not always the coach?!?! A coach can only do so much.

OMG WVUGal. If you're referring to my post, please take the time to read it thoroughly. I was pointing out what I saw as an inconsistency in an argument, not making a factual assertion.
My points throughout all of my posts have been:
1) Price is deserved of praise for having been a winning high school football coach, and
2) don't conflate having been a winning high school football coach and being a great person.
If all this means they rename the field after him, then rename the field after him. It is just a high school football field, and he was just a successful football coach on that field. My disagreement has always been that he is somehow "special" otherwise because of it. In other words, don't name a library or a school after him.

Hipsta, that comment was mainly towards the individuals that could only see the negative things about him. I only say this because I know price VERY personally. No I'm not a family member but you might as well say I am. He's been in my life since, well before I was even born. He's a close family friend. So not only do I know him personally as a coach I know him personally as a man.

Hipsta, I am glad you clarified that we were basically on the same page. Except the one statement that Dave Walker would be the greatest coach ever lived. Really? You don't mean that do you? He may have won 3 state championships, so has Coach Price. But I do not believe that any coaches in our area are the greatest coach ever lived. What category do we put Allen Fiddler? He has more than both coaches put together. When he has accomplished what Vince Lambardi has and the other GREAT coaches, then he can wear their pants, until then he will be simply the Bulldog coach with 3 state championships under his belt.

MomOf3, you missed my point. You said:
"Are we talking about a football coach and his accomplishments or are we talking about personal relationships. What different does it make if Coach Price spoke to you or not. Was that the changing point in your life? I doubt it. This man is a legand and he needs to be recognized for that."
It seems to me you give Price a pass on "personal relationships" because he won football games for 40 years, regardless if he was a self-interested tyrant.
I have no issue with the pass. But what I see as inconsistent is that, in your next breath you seem to insult Dave Walker for being arrogant, who's managed far more success in a much shorter time. This is why I said he was on pace to be the greatest ever, based on your criteria. Winning is winning. Or are not all winners equal in your eyes?
And Fid is a GREAT coach. I would love to see him return to Musselman. I doubt he will given his position at PH, but it would be great to see.

I could give everyone of you a pass on your thoughts until you brought Fiddler into the conversation. If you don't care that his name just goes on a football field, they what have you points been about. The only point anyone has made is to put his name somewhere around the football program. You will not find a person anywhere in history who does not have people who like him or hate him. If you couldn't stand the guy because he didn't give you the attention you so feel you deserved then move on. I like the man and like what he stands for. He gave me the stare many, many times. He took me to the side and explained to me the errors of my ways, in his own special way, many times. After the season of my 12th grade year, he pushed me to the side and focused on the kids that would help him win games the next season. I knew this was the way it was going to be and it wasn't going to change. I used his program to get the things i needed as a teen. Now that i'm an adult, i don't see the need to

Claim what the man focused his entire life on what not a great accomolishment. Then to read that same person would prefer to have Fiddler replace Coach Price. I stand by the words in my post from a week before.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Deployed, take the time to read the distinctions set forth in my posts. Being a great COACH and a great MAN are two different things. That's been my point throughout. Fid is a great COACH. I never said anything about his character. And I never said why I thought it would be great.
I stand by my statements. Price is and remains an arrogant self-interested high school football coach who experienced success until 2000. Otherwise, he is not special. Quite the contrary.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hipsta. After i read each of your post i'm even more assured of how spot on my first post had been. I disagee with your view on what makes Price a good coach and human being. Your belief that his arrogant manner towards peopl, he didn't like, puts him on level anything with Fidler is way off the mark.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Being a good coach and person are neither synonymous nor mutually exclusive. We are all entitled to our opinions. And mine are not based upon observation but first hand experiences with Price. I frankly get tired of hearing about the class act he was and is. It's just not true, at least what I've experienced over the years. I know many former football players that share this view, just as I know many that share your view. But it's an opinion.

And many of us "stood up" to him. In fact that was usually your death knell for playing time. Call me a dousche and claim I need a father figure all you like. I typically don't resort to such childish banter.

Standing on the front lawn of the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on Monday, Gov. Brian Sandoval presented Mark Jensen and Mike Hall with a plaque designating it one of Nevada's top treasures.
"I love Nevada history and this is truly one of the jewels in Nevada. This was the highest vote getter in the state," Sandoval said. "I'm very eager to go in and see what we have here. It truly is a Nevada experience when you can drive in amongst the cows."
In May, the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park won the 6-week "Discover Your Nevada" online contest, sponsored by the Nevada Commission on Tourism.
"It's wonderful. We're very happy to have the governor visit our park and give us that recognition for winning the contest," Park Curator Jensen said. "Everyone worked very hard winning the contest, and it's as much about our supporters' feelings about the park as it is winning the contest."
Monday was Sandoval's first visit to the historic Carson Valley ranch.
As he walked from room to room, the governor asked questions and even read aloud from a 1938 Minden Times newspaper.
"I'm impressed by how really intact everything is. The volume of artifacts that have been preserved is tremendous," Sandoval said. "I feel like they're out to lunch right now and I get to come into their house and see how they live."
After five rounds of online voting, the park beat out Thunderbird Lodge at Lake Tahoe in the final round of the contest, and joins such noted Nevada attractions as Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada Northern Railway and Goldwell Open Air Museum as a regional winner.
"I couldn't have been more happy to be listed next to the Thunderbird Lodge, as they are an example of what we can achieve," Jensen said. "We benefited from the support of Plant It Nursery that gave us plants and gardening supplies after each round we won, and doubled it after we won the contest."
When asked if voters made a good choice in their decision for top treasure in the Reno-Tahoe territory, Sandoval answered, "absolutely."
"More Nevadans need the opportunity to see this and appreciate true Nevada history," he added. "Wherever I go I will talk about this and encourage people to come see it."
The Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park preserves the home of Heinrich F. Dangberg and his descendants. The Dangbergs were a prominent ranching family in Carson Valley history and founded Minden in 1905. The site includes eight historic structures built between 1857 and 1917, along with a collection of 39,000 artifacts, documents and photographs acquired and used by the Dangberg family.
The park is operated by Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, in cooperation with the site's owner, Douglas County.
It is located at 1450 Highway 88, Minden, one-half mile south of the Carson Valley Swim Center.
Guided tours are offered by reservation. More information can be found at www.dangberghomeranch.org or by calling 783-9417.

Kansas State at Baylor: If this game had been played three weeks ago,
Kansas State would have stomped a mud-hole in the Bears. The Wildcats
appeared invincible while the Bears vied with Kansas for top honors in
Big 12 gridiron ineptitude.
But things have changed a mite. Kansas State still looks plenty tough,
but Baylor is suddenly competitive with Big 12 royalty as their performance
against Oklahoma last week showed. The turnaround is because the Bears
are now playing halfway decent defense.
Of course, halfway decent is totally insufficient when facing Collin Klein
and the Manhattan Maulers, but Baylor's defensive uptick does give the
Bears an outside shot at springing the upset. But it won't happen, of course.
KSU looks like a team of destiny. A team destined to play in the national
championship game.
The Vision: Kansas State 41 Baylor 29
Iowa State at Kansas: You just get the sense that Kansas is due to
finally win a Big 12 game. And you also get the sense that Iowa State
is a beaten down and vulnerable team.
Although it is Kansas that is winless in Big 12 play, they are the team
with higher morale and motivation. Iowa State, on the other hand,
has seen a once fairly promising season resolve into ashes. The Cyclone
defense is still good, of course, but despite holding the opposition below
their offensive averages on a weekly basis, ISU's offensive weakness means
that they're never really a threat to win.
This game will be close, but the home field advantage will be enough to
see the Jayhawks through to their first conference win since
Bob Dole was a pup.
The Vision: Kansas 25 Iowa State 22
Oklahoma at West Virginia: The Sooners, an oversold team if there
ever was one, are prime upset meat, but only if they're playing a stable,
sound and confident opponent. The Mountaineers, unfortunately, are
about as stable as Keith Olberman, as sound as a condemned building
astride the San Andreas fault, and as confident George Stephanopoulos
stepping into the ring with Manny Pacquiao.
West Virginia actually has the talent to beat Oklahoma, but they do not
have the coaching and the intangibles to pull off the upset. Still, this will
certainly be an entertaining and high scoring affair.
The Vision: Oklahoma 44 West Virginia 35
Texas Tech at Oklahoma State: This looks very much like a
matchup of two ships passing in the night and heading in totally
opposite directions. With the exception of a baffling loss to Arizona
early in the year, the Cowboys have played rather well the entire
season. And certainly they're playing their best football right now.
They've whipped the tar out of Iowa State, TCU and West Virginia
in three of their last four outings and now draw a Red Raider team
that they've owned for about as long as anybody can remember.
Speaking of the Red Raiders, it really looks like their best days are
behind them in 2012. Injuries, a lack of depth, red zone offensive
woes and a defense that is slow to adjust, have rendered Tech a
very average football team, and that's a shame because the Red Raiders
of September and early October were formidable indeed.
What it boils down to is that you can't see Tech getting many stops at
all against the versatile and lethal OSU attack.
The Vision: Oklahoma State 50 Texas Tech 26

Babywearing Tip of the Week: It's Healthy!
12 comments:
When that mom is talking about teething and the baby looks up at her.....HOW SWEET IS THAT?????ReplyDelete
Really good video that pointed out why to wear. The babies were all quite and content, too. :)ReplyDelete
That was a great clip. Now that Carter is walking he will drag the sling over to me when he wants to be worn, or if I hold it up and show him he comes over with this nervous little giggle. Like "is she really going to put me in?" I love the way he smiles, and lays his head on my shoulder as soon as I put him in. Even if he wants down right away!ReplyDelete
I wish I could go back and start all over with Monte and wear each one of the boys.
What a great video! Delphine loves to be worn in the sling. After her heart surgery - she wanted to be worn constantly. Being able to wear her close like that was a huge benefit to her recovery!ReplyDelete
That was a terrific clip, thanks for sharing it. I'm glad they mentioned bonding benefits with Dad. I'm going to show this to my husband. :)ReplyDelete
Great Video!ReplyDelete
and btw, TAG!
great video. all of those benefits are wonderful, but i agree, that the convenience is certainly one of the biggest motivating factors, at least for me.ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing. :)
Awsome! Love this video, thanks for posting it!!!!! Great tips of the week!ReplyDelete
cool video!ReplyDelete
I'm posting it on my blog now..
Thanks for sharing this video clip. I enjoyed watching it and the information presented.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad the word is getting out about babywearing! Even co-sleeping is getting some exposure and it's nice to see Americans changing their views on baby care.ReplyDelete
That's an awesome video! I have to bookmark it to show my in-laws when they come this weekend - they say I'm too attached to my kids. What on earth is wrong with that?ReplyDelete

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Heather Locklear
- 1979
All-American Girl
Before graduating from California's Newbury Park High School in 1979, Locklear takes frequent trips to the mountains around Lake Arrowhead with her family. Her father Bill, an administrator at UCLA, and mother Diane, who works for Disney, take Locklear, her brother and two sisters water-skiing during the summer and to play in the snow during the winter.
- 1981
Heather Joins a Dynasty
After auditioning with 450 actresses, Locklear wins the role of vixen Sammy Jo on the saucy primetime soap Dynasty. Originally signed for 12 episodes, she's released early, then re-signed when producers have a change of heart. She'll stay until the end of the show's nine-season run in 1989.
- 1982
Working Overtime
Unsure about her future on Dynasty, Locklear accepts the role of Officer Stacy Sheridan on primetime ABC cop drama T.J. Hooker, starring William Shatner. She ends up appearing on both shows simultaneously until Hooker ends in 1986. Although unconventional, the double employment is easy to pull off because both dramas are executive produced by Aaron Spelling and air on ABC.
- 1986
Tommy Girl
Locklear marries Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in a gazebo at the Marriott Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel in California. The quintessential California girl met the tattooed, makeup-wearing metalhead at an REO Speedwagon concert in 1985. "When my dad saw him, his eyes fell out of his head and he asked, 'Who does that belong to?'" she tells Newsday. "My dad loves him now." However, the harmony doesnt last forever. The pair divorces in 1994. "I'm not devastated or destroyed," she says at the time to Entertainment Weekly. "It's mostly just sad."
- 1988
Green Queen
Locklear lands her first leading movie role in the mutant comedy The Return of the Swamp Thing, playing Abby Arcane, the love interest of the creature from the deep muck. "Since my character owns a plant shop, it's only natural she should enjoy making love to a plant," Locklear jokes to PEOPLE. And how did the experience compare with her love life with Lee? "One's a plant and one's an animal."
- 1993
Cast for a six-episode stint during sweeps on Melrose Place, Locklear plays devilishly nasty Amanda. She'll make nearly twice as much as her costars (reportedly $40,000 per episode) when she joins the show full-time in the fall season. And why not? The series jumped from No. 94 to No. 50 in the ratings after her arrival. The primetime drama – her third with Spelling – ends in May 1999.
- 1994
Beautiful Lady
Locklear is named as one of PEOPLE's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World, an honor she'll repeat in 2001 – not that she agrees. "When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was growing up," she tells the magazine, "with braces, crooked teeth, a baby face and a skinny body."
You Give Love a Good Name
Ten months after they started dating, Locklear weds Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora at the American Cathedral in Paris. It's their second exchange of vows in 48 hours. They legally tied the knot in a civil ceremony in New Jersey two days earlier. After a champagne reception with two dozen guests at the nearby Ritz Carlton, the pair crosses two oceans for their honeymoon in Hawaii. "Heather didn't plan on this," her mother Diane tells PEOPLE. "You don't plan on falling in love or finding the right person, but if you don't take it while it's here, you could lose it and never find it again."
- 1997
Worth the Wait
After 35 hours of labor, Locklear opts for a cesarean section, bringing daughter Ava Elizabeth, 6 lb. 6 oz., into the world. Locklear, who continued to work on Melrose Place throughout the pregnancy, cut out junk food during the nine months, gaining only 22 pounds by restricting her diet to vegetables, fish and chicken.
- 1999
City Girl
Locklear adds fresh blood to the sitcom Spin City, signing on to play a campaign manager who routinely clashes with series star Michael J. Fox. The new job requires her to move to New York City, where her family settles into a four-bedroom pad on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Within a half-hour of getting the offer, "I was on the phone with my husband like, 'Would you be interested in moving to New York?'" Locklear tells Entertainment Weekly. "He was like, 'I'm ready. Let's go." The sitcom runs until April 30, 2002.

Five things to look for as Penn State plays Indiana in a game that doesn't seem to have many fans very excited.
No. 1: Don't overlook IU
Penn State plays Indiana today, just in case anyone needed a reminder.
It's been a week dominated by discussions about a blown call, conspiracy theories and Bill O'Brien's potential NFL future, and it appears few people have actually spent much time discussing the matchup against the Hoosiers.
Andy why should they? The line is 17 1/2 points, Indiana got humiliated its last time out in its biggest game in years (62-14 against Wisconsin) and the Hoosiers' defense can't stop anybody.
This should be a blowout.
Fact Box
PSU (6-4, 4-2 Big Ten)
vs. Indiana (4-6, 2-4)
Where: Beaver Stadium
Kickoff: Noon
Line: PSU by 17 1/2
But nothing in sports is guaranteed, and Penn State had better not take the Hoosiers lightly.
While they've probably been licking their wounds following last week's disappointing loss at Nebraska - and undoubtedly angry about the blown call that cost them a TD - the Nittany Lions have to refocus and avoid getting surprised by a seemingly overmatched opponent.
Indiana lost by three against Ohio State (52-49) and by four against Michigan State (31-27), so the Hoosiers are capable of playing competitively against good/decent competition. Now, they also lost to a Navy team (31-30) that PSU crushed, and they should be reeling from a confidence standpoint.
Still, Indiana needs a win today and one at Purdue next week to become bowl-eligible, so it does have a lot to play for.
No. 2: Run, baby, run
The Hoosiers gave up 564 yards rushing against Wisconsin, which sounds impossible. They're also allowing 244 yards per game on the ground.
O'Brien likes to throw the ball, but this is the kind of team PSU should be able to pummel on the ground. How's this for a stat: Zach Zwinak has 686 yards rushing and averages 86 per game, while the departed Silas Redd has only slightly more yards, 732, and averages less per game at 81.
Zwinak, coming off a career-high 141-yard effort at Nebraska, should be in line for another big day, and maybe we'll see the return of the forgotten running back, Bill Belton.
No. 3: Fast and loose
Indiana plays the fastest offense in the Big Ten, going no-huddle most of the time and running play after play in such a speedy fashion that it makes PSU's NASCAR offense look slow.
The Hoosiers don't have the kind of talent to line up against most teams toe-to-toe, so they have to be creative and try to catch teams off guard. They're going to throw it a ton - they average 43 attempts and 293 yards per game - so Penn State's defense must be ready.
Safety Malcolm Willis is questionable with a knee injury, and defensive tackle Jordan Hill also has one but should play. The key for PSU's defense will be to attack quarterback Cameron Coffman with a lot of pressure, disrupt his timing and stop the no-huddle offense before it gets into gear.
SUBHD: No. 4: Different atmosphere
The students are on Thanksgiving break, and despite O'Brien urging them to stick around for the game, that's probably not going to happen. It's also a late-season game against a bad team, and PSU already has four losses.
The announced crowd might be in the 90,000 range, but it will be a surprise if 80,000 actually show up. That's another reason to wonder if the Lions will be as fired up as usual.
SUBHD: No. 5: Player to watch
Cornerbacks Stephon Morris and Adrian Amos should have a bunch of opportunities to make plays against Indiana's passing attack. The Hoosiers might throw it 50 times, putting pressure on the secondary but also giving the defensive backs a lot of chances to break up plays and maybe pick off some passes.
This also will be a good opportunity for defensive coordinator Ted Roof to let his cornerbacks play man-to-man coverage and gamble with more blitzes.
Prediction: Penn State 37, Indiana 20

Glee's Quinn crashed when texting and driving, does your teen text and drive?
Tuesday's Glee follows up on the explosive episode when Quinn (Dianna Agron) crashes because she was distracted by texting while driving. Texting and driving is a BIG problem, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that in 2009 more than 5,400 people died in crashes that were reported to involve a distracted driver and about 448,000 were injured. Which is probably why more than 30 states have distracted driving laws and just year, April was declared National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
The CDC cites texting as the worst driving distraction because it involves three deadly components:
*Visual–taking your eyes off the road;
* Manual–taking your hands off the wheel; and
* Cognitive–taking your mind off what you are doing.
Experts from Safely, the digital parenting division of Location Labs, say the average teen sends 1,500 texts a month, which can include while they're driving. They advise using Tuesday's Glee episode as an opportunity to watch the show with your teen and pause to talk about how they feel about things happening throughout the episode. If kids are reluctant to share, they suggest asking if they've seen friends deal with these issues. Teens may be more willing to talk about a "friend's" experience than their own. They also suggest setting a good example; according to Safely, almost half of parents text while driving. If you're guilty of this, they say, you may want to consider a family pledge to stop texting while driving.
Will you watch the episode with your kids? I'm planning to. Would love to hear how it goes for you.

Congress let highways deteriorate too long
December 14, 2013
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., will introduce bills to raise federal fuel taxes, index them to inflation and test a vehicle-mile ta....
And Joe Manchin is right on board with this. He went as far as to agree with Obama that they should 'create' their own little BANK; an "infrastructure" bank. That is the little fake name they'll give it so YOU will THINK it's about only using the TAX they'll raise on you to put in that bank, on bridges/highways, etc....Pfft! You KNOW it's another SCAM on the taxpayers to enrich their already overflowing pockets with OUR money!
Manchin needs FIRED asap! I hope voters mean it when they said they feel he betrayed us and won't vote for him again. I KNOW I won't and neither will any family member. We did ONCE; not twice!

How 'bout if democrats would actually help REAL American citizens rather than helping illegal aliens to our tax dollars?
Just this week a loophole was found and a Republican congressman hurriedly wrote a bill to close that loophole that dems were about to do. What was it? CUTTING VETERANS BENEFITS so that 'illegal aliens' could illegally take the child tax credit (without even filing a tax return) to get big refunds!!!
Tell me again how much democrats 'care' about their American citizens that stupidly support them??
NO self-respecting veteran would vote for these progressive socialist democrats.

Hey What.......that question should be asked by your commie hero in the WH. He's the one that allows illegals to get the credits for child care WITHOUT filing a tax return moron. But then, YOU aren't really interested in the truth are you? You just have a communist agenda to help with; thus you never respond with anything slightly similar in anyone with any amount of education other than liberal 'indoctrination.' Indoctrination NOT same as 'education.' You like being TOLD what to think; real intelligent people think for themselves. Enjoy your sad trip as socialism/communism has NEVER been a success anyway in the entire world; therefore neither will you and your lot of leftists! Ever wonder why the democrats are such an angry, ugly intolerant, sad and pathetic unhappy bunch of people? Reread this comment; there's a clue so in-your-face even a 5th grader 'gets it.'

Keep on telling the TRUTH Pure; it drives the left completely insane. Not that they weren't already! LOL. Truth only angers liars & deceivers.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
WV is allowing our highways to deteriorate "on purpose" as other liberal states are also doing. WHY? Because just as our Governor Tomblin and deceiver, Joe Manchin stated more than once in past several years; they want a BANK; a govt run INFRASTRUCTURE Bank......thus raising YOUR taxes for another liberal money wasting, politician enriching scam!!!
Typical! Democrats think we don't ever pay enough TAXES; only answer to every problem from Dems is TAX, TAX, TAX! The People say, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE them all! And we will. Just wait and see.

Just because democrats can't understand something, they just choose to believe it's not true; it cannot be done; or it's someone else's fault. Eh, What??? I don't waste time on people who ignorantly state something isn't true just because they don't like it. Proof is out there, you know it, you've read it online in news articles, yahoo, etc...and you know we know that YOU know it. You should stop trying so hard to attempt to prove to others you are not a liberal democrat. You're proving otherwise. LOL.

A "progressive" in any capacity.....is the most foolish person on the planet.
They call themselves 'progressive' yet their ideology sends ALL backward not forward.
Progressivism is just socialism with a different name. Lefties and righties do the name change to attempt to deceive people into "thinking" it's not socialism. It's just a pre-thinking lighter version of outright communism. Eventually that's where these ignorant self-professing intelligent folks will lead everyone. Progressives think they know everything yet show us they really know nothing. They have arrogance and think they have a right to tell everyone else what to do, how to do it, how to live, what to wear, what to eat, how to think.
Not working out for you progressives very well is it? Folks know who you all are in congress now and are intelligently voting them out in both parties.
That is why progressive repubs & progressive libs are working together to try to oust tea party members. NOT

Globalization and International Law
Frederic Megret
McGill University - Faculty of Law
August 4, 2008
MAX PLANCK ENCYCLOPEDIA OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, Oxford University Press, 2009
This short paper is an attempt to synthesize the debate on "globalization and international law". This is an issue that has been taken increasingly seriously by international lawyers, as globalization threatens to challenge the very meaning, status and nature of the international legal order. The paper argues that globalization has had a significant impact on international law but that, in turn, international law could have a significant impact on globalization.

on October 14, 2012 - 1:04 AM
DEKALB, Ill. – The University at Buffalo watched all the game films. The Bulls developed a plan of attack. They believed they had sound ideas on how to contain Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch, the most versatile offensive force in the Mid-American Conference.
The Bulls might as well have spent the week trying to decipher 'the how?' of a David Blaine illusion. No matter how much time is devoted to the task it still messes with the mind. And Lynch and his offense certainly had UB heads spinning in circles Saturday afternoon while orchestrating a resounding 45-3 victory on a gray and dreary Homecoming Day at Huskie Stadium.
Working zone reads to perfection, Lynch ran between the tackles, outside the tackles, around Bulls and through Bulls. He scored two touchdowns early and, in a show of diversity, passed for two more late. He totaled 232 yards through the air and ran for 129. He was true to form. If there was such a thing as the mid-major Heisman, he'd be no less than a finalist and likely the winner.
"We saw coming in that he's got great feet, he's a fast quarterback, he doesn't go down easy," said UB defensive end Colby Way. "One of our big emphasis this week was on just bringing him down, just playing him. We based our defense around him. We just struggled bringing him down.
"He broke one of my tackles too, and I didn't think he was going to be that hard to bring down."
While Lynch toyed with Buffalo's defense, the Huskies (6-1, 3-0) suffocated UB's running game – ensuring the Bulls would remain winless all-time on the road against West Division teams and winless on the road against anybody in more than two years.
The Huskies won the line of scrimmage and, with strong safety support, allowed just 74 net yards to the nation's 23rd-ranked rushing team with not a single gain longer than 16.
The Bulls were again without starting running back Branden Oliver, who sat out his third straight game with a knee injury.
"They were very determined to stop the run," said Bulls center Trevor Sales. "I'm got going to say we got out-physicaled because I don't believe in that because we're a very tough offensive line across the board. One thing I will say schematically, they definitely beat us in some areas and that's on us as an offensive line."
UB hit back with a field goal after NIU's opening TD drive, but never connected on another punch against a team that has won 19 straight at Huskie Stadium – the third-longest home winning streak in the country. The size of UB's early deficit forced the Bulls to the air 49 times. Starter Alex Zordich was 18 of 29 for 177 yards with two interceptions. Joe Licata took over late in the third quarter and was 9 of 20 for 86 yards. Each was sacked twice.
NIU opened the game with one of its textbook marches, a 75-yard, 13-play drive keyed by the running of Lynch. The Huskies' star picked up 5 yards on a third-and-1 and 7 yards on a fourth-and-1, and his between-the-tackles plunges proved the perfect setup for the touchdown play, a 12-yard reserve by wideout Da'Ron Brown. Lynch feigned another burst up the gut before flipping a pitch to Brown running against pursuit. He quickly gained the corner and found the end zone 5:07 into the game.
UB countered with a field goal drive aided by two major penalties against NIU. The first, a personal foul, was called on a third-and-9 incompletion. The second, a 15-yard facemask, negated a run for a loss. That infraction moved UB to the 12, where the drive stalled as Zordich overthrew an open Devon Hughes (nine catches, 105 yards) at the end zone sideline. Patrick Clarke kicked a 28-yard field goal, making it 7-3 with 3:21 left in the opening quarter.
A fake punt set up NIU for a 14-3 lead. Short man Luke Eakes took the snap and ran off the left side for 31 yards. Lynch ripped off an 18-yard scamper on the next play, and the TD drive culminated with Akeem Daniels going wide right on fourth-and-1 as the Bulls committed to Lynch on the zone option.
Offensively, the Huskies seemed invincible by this point. Whatever the situation, they were finding ways to move the chains. The Bulls knew everything originated with Lynch, but where it would go from there was anyone's guess. Facing a fourth-and-2 from the UB 4, the Huskies pressed on and got the touchdown to make it 21-3 when Lynch kept this time, darting up the middle 6:59 before the half.
The Huskies weren't through. Two Buffalo streaks ended when Clarke missed right on a 25-yard field-goal attempt. It was his first miss in 11 career attempts and Buffalo's first failed trip to the red zone. The Huskies came back with another 4-yard TD run by Lynch just before halftime.
"I'm not numb at all," said UB coach Jeff Quinn. "I'm extremely angry. I'm aggravated. ... That's nowhere near the kind of football I expected out of our team."

I've thrown my share of no-hitters in my day. They're fun. They are special moments that require a lot of look, a lot of great pitches, timely hitting on your offense's part and some spectacular defense.
The Berkeley Stags got all of those on Thursday night in the 2-0 win over Fort Dorchester.
There is no better way to make your varsity baseball debut than by being near perfect. That was Stags hurler Zach Gonzales in the second round of the American Legion Post 166 Pre-Season Invitational Tournament, near perfect. Facing just two batters over the minimum, Gonzales fired a no-hitter in his first varsity start.
"I didn't even know he'd thrown a no-hitter," said Berkeley Coach Landy Cox. "I get so caught up in the game, I didn't know until they told me afterwards."
Cox said while Gonzales struggled early with his curve ball, the Patriots couldn't touch the fastball or the curve: "He hit his spots and while he struggled with his command early, they couldn't touch him after he started throwing the curve for strikes. He was lights out after that."
The game took just over an hour to complete, approximately 75 minutes to play seven innings.
They call that playing a game like you have dinner reservations. The field was empty and everybody had gone home by 8:20 p.m.
"We were out of there in a hurry," Cox said.
Gonzales said he knew he'd had the no-hitter all along, and said the key to the game was his defense, though the junior rightie racked up 13 K's on his way to the no-no. "I struggled a little early but I found my groove in the fourth inning," he said. "My fastball was good and I was hitting my spots."
Gonzales said this was the first no-hitter he'd ever thrown. "It was pretty amazing," Gonzales said of his varsity baseball debut.
He has two whole seasons to throw another.
No-hitters are like lightning strikes, and many of the game's best pitchers never threw one. Sometimes they are thrown in the most perfect of baseball moments, like Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
Baseball's first no-hitter was thrown by George Bradley on July 15, 1876, pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals against Hartford. The last was thrown by Homer Bailey of the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 28, 2012.
There have been 276 no-hitters thrown through the end of the 2012, and a total of seven no-hitters last season.
Gonzales would have lost the no-hitter in the fifth inning were it not for the defensive gem of the game. Rightfielder Andrew Lockliear made a spectacular diving catch on a line drive in the gap.
"He laid out and was completely horizontal," Cox said. "It was an outstanding defensive play that saved the game."
The Stags went on to win the Post 166 Tournament Championship over defending Class AAAA state champions Ashley Ridge, 3-2, following a Kyle Garrick game-winning home run in the eighth inning. Berkeley 3-0, begins regular season play this week.
This team can hit, it can play excellent defense, and its pitching so far, has been near perfect.

Despite the plethora of attention Penryn received
over the last few weeks, Intel's newest roadmaps put the processor launch
for Q1'08. This indicates the launch has not necessarily accelerated even
though the initial
tape-out proved extremely successful.
On the other hand, Intel's 2008 roadmap shows every segment simultaneously
deploying 45nm products. Like AMD's recent 65nm Brisbane
launch, Intel guidance notes the processors will start shipping Q4'07
but the actual launch will come as a coordinated 2008 event.
The first Intel 45nm treatments will come from the quad-core Yorkfield and
dual-core Wolfdale desktop processors. Wolfdale has two
physical cores on a single die and up to 6MB of L2 cache. Yorkfield is then two Wolfdale dice on a single package. Also worth
noting: Wolfdale ships with a 1333MHz front-side bus and Yorkfield ships
with a 1066MHz front-side bus. Chipset support will largely come from Bearlake-family
that was previously
disclosed on DailyTech.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about these two processors is the return of
Hyper-Threading. This, however, does not mean that Yorkfield will
appear as eight logical cores, nor does it mean Wolfdale will appear as
four logical cores. Intel's internal guidance on the subject specifically
claims the processor will ship with Hyper-Threading, but will only utilize 4
threads. On every Intel roadmap in the past, Hyper-Threading doubles the
amount of listed threads in the guidance documentation. Clearly, there is
more of a mystery here still. (Update: Please read the retraction below.)
"The official company policy is that our engineers have left the door open
for Hyper-Threading, but we cannot confirm or deny any future plans for the
technology," adds Intel Public Relations Manager Dan Snyder.
All Penryn cores also include Intel TXT, previously known as Intel LaGrande Technology. TXT stands for Trusted Execution Technology and refers to the collection of devices. The Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, is one component. DMA page protection is another.
Alas, even if 2008 seems like a long time away for the 45nm platform, it's
important to note that all Intel platforms will have 45nm SKUs in Q1'08. Penryn,
the family name for Intel's first generation 45nm consumer CPUs, also refers
specifically to the 45nm dual-core mobile CPU. Intel's current roadmap
claims this processor will lead the Q1'08 mobile push with several low voltage
models coming one quarter later.
For servers, Wolfdale will make an appearance as a dual and single
socket Xeon. It's been long-standing Intel policy to separate desktop,
mobile and server chipsets into different products; Conroe was the Core
2 desktop CPU and Woodcrest, though physically nearly identical, was the
Xeon counterpart. Wolfdale as a server and a desktop CPU indicates
the chips are electrically identical -- though each will likely receive
different packaging for the different sockets.
Yorkfield will not receive the same codenaming treatment as Wolfdale on
the server. Instead, Harpertown will be the quad-core Xeon for two
socket servers. Yorkfield will still be the company's single-socket
quad-core Xeon offering.
quote: I would be very surprised if AMD didn't follow suit
quote: One of the nice things about HT is that it can help hide slow memory, provided you've got enough cache
quote: HT lets you fill in unused issue width with OPs from another thread. So if you stall waiting on a cache miss (or even a cache hit) you can continue to work on another thread rather then letting the CPU grind to a halt for 10-100 clock cycles
quote: True...and in a single core environment this would (and is) usually a very good thing. But the scheduler (and apps) sees the HT virtual core as just another core. So if you are running 2 simultaneous threads, there is no method by which you can direct them to the actual core instead of the virtual core.
quote: I'm sure that you'd agree that only using a single core efficiently instead of splitting the work between 2 cores kind of defeats the purpose of dual (or more significantly quad) core chips.
quote: Ht is useful. Anybody who is computer science in knows that processor parallelism has always been the best road to take when developing a computer
quote: Problem was, Windows didn't know core 1 and core 2 were technically on the same core. So instead of assigning threads to a different core like Core 1 Core 3 THEN core 2 for HT, it crammed in two threads on a loaded processor leaving one unused
quote: To take advantage of this performance opportunity, the scheduler in the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP has been modified to identify HT processors and to favor dispatching threads onto inactive physical processors wherever possible.
quote: On a multicore chip, I can't see HT doing very much for performance until CSI and Nehalem is released in 2008/9 (remember that the bottleneck nere is the FSB).
quote: Backup what you are saying.
quote: State how much bandwidth cache coherency traffic takes up on the FSB.
quote: Ummmm....This is K8L we're talking about, not some fanciful chip that's always five years away
quote: where in the article is empirical evidence that the FSB has become saturated or is a bottleneck?
Answer: There isn't any, it's all conjecture
quote: Yeah, prove a negative, that will work
quote: Please point me to this scientific evidence you speak about.
quote: Even though I'm not the one making the statements (you are)
quote: Using Intel analysis tools, running business applications, I see FSB utilization in the 15% percent area on a dual core HP system. Running the same on a quad bumps the utilization to 18%-20%. Business applications run out of cpu long before then run out of FSB bandwidth.
quote: Unless you have a supporting O/S and properly written software HT is all marketing hype.
quote: As previously demonstrated, HT on Intel chips would slow most software performance until it was disabled.
quote: Unless you have a supporting O/S and properly written software HT is all marketing hype. As previously demonstrated, HT on Intel chips would slow most software performance until it was disabled.
quote: HT is useful in keeping an application running at 100% CPU from hogging the entire CPU
quote: Because HT and Multi Cores don't compete each other if not that they're complement each other
HT allows you to start 2 threads simultaneously, though you only have the resources to complete one...
quote: The long pipeline of netburst made HT viable, parts of it were idling while others were busy - HT was just means to increase the load of the chip and thus its efficiency.
quote: So, you're telling me that HT is of the same quality as SMT in a, lets say, Power5 series processor or a Sun T1?
quote: No, dont answer me.
quote: Compared to these two examples, Intels HT is a whackjob. Its fallout from the netburst design - it was a logical consequence of the design, but not remotely close to a "true" SMT design such as the Power5 or T1.
quote: a single P4 core had enough ressources for more than 1 thread. That's why we've seen situations where HT increased performance
The problem you run into with HT and a multicore chip is that the operating system can't distinguish between a virtual core and a real core...
quote: But I also tend to run quite a few apps at a time
quote: Can you suggest a good way to test that?
quote: Hyperthreading may provide a performance boost for some multithreaded software that benefits from lots of cores (like 3D rendering), but it won't help for games.
quote: Think about it: it's like having two cores, each running at half speed.
quote: OR, if one thread dominates and the other gets to run only when the main thread is waiting, it's like gaining an additional slow thread... which doesn't really help games much.
quote: That thread will either slow down the main thread (because both can't run at the same time) or it will be unreliable (because you can't count on it to run, the main thread might not have a cache miss for a while).
quote: If your sound is on the slow thread, and the main thread doesn't have a cache miss for a while, your sound is going to skip. OR, your sound won't skip, but it won't skip because the core is running the sound thread instead of running the game thread when it could be running the game thread. So your game will be slower.
quote: At best, HT will boost performance if you have a dual core processor running a 4-core game (like Alan Wake), but it will still be utter crap compared to using a real quad core processor.
quote: by Beenthere on January 30, 2007 at 8:03 PM
Unless you have a supporting O/S and properly written software HT is all marketing hype. As previously demonstrated, HT on Intel chips would slow most software performance until it was disabled.

The truth about football recruiting at the mid-major level is that it usually takes three years or more to get a handle on the strength of a class. Most incoming freshman red-shirt. Then they're eased into the lineup. For every player like University at Buffalo running back Devin Campbell, who showed great promise as a true freshman last season, there are a dozen who require more time to acclimate to the college game – and college life as a whole.
National Signing Day has a different feel at the major programs. Schools like Alabama, Notre Dame and USC are in contention for high school seniors who have been identified as among the best in the nation. They land some players so talented they're expected to make an immediate impact. They land players recognized as already possessing NFL potential.
But at schools like the University at Buffalo? It's almost always about development and waiting to see what gems – Khalil Mack, Branden Oliver, Alex Neutz – emerge. When UB announces its football recruiting class today it won't change the fact that the biggest news of the offseason was Mack's decision to forego NFL temptation and return for his senior season.
At UB, National Signing Day represents both a culmination and a beginning. The coaching staff will – like all coaching staffs – express a sense of satisfaction over the players who have made a firm commitment by signing a Letter of Intent. Recruiting is time-consuming, frustrating and rewarding. Today's the day there's tangible fruit from the labor. And yet, with the arrival of summer the next phase begins.
UB will announce its recruiting class this afternoon. The one player already signed is Blake Bean, a linebacker from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan. He's one of four Butler linebackers to join a Division I program.
Players who have made verbal commitments to the Bulls in advance of today include wide receivers Jamarl Eiland out of Plymouth High in Canton, Mich., and Dubois Ross from Bethlehem, Pa.
Wide receiver looms as a need position for UB after a season in which Neutz accounted for one-third of the team's receptions and 11 of its 17 passing touchdowns.
Others who have made verbal commitments are quarterback Jacob Martinez of Panama City, Fla., safeties Andrews Dadeboe of York, Pa., and Houston Glass of Grand Rapids, Mich., running back James Coleman of Christ the King in New York, defensive end Brandon Crawford of Madison, Fla., and linebacker Greg Lis of Wayne, N.J.

6 Obviously Terrible Things Movies Always Portray as Great
Despite what the "It's just a movie, it doesn't mean anything!" crowd seems to think, movies are always pro-something, because if we don't believe in what the hero is doing, why would we care what happens on screen? It all comes down to emotional investment: We have to believe that Harry Potter stopping Voldemort is an overall win for the world, otherwise we just watched a cocky teenager murder a disabled old man by turning him into a fetus.
But movies have slyly convinced us to start rooting for some pretty terrible stuff. And I promise that's the last time I'll say the word "fetus," because that word is gross.
#6. A "Balance" Between Good and Evil
20th Century Fox
The biggest mark the Star Wars trilogy left on cinema was the idea that balance is key. I know the philosophy probably predates that, but I'm going with Star Wars, because it's had a way bigger impact on contemporary society than any one religious text. Both the Star Wars prequels and the original trilogy give characters lines about "restoring balance to the Force," because apparently the centuries of peace and prosperity in the Old Republic was really off-kilter.
Maybe "balance" means "we finally get to use our fucking lightsabers."
X-Men: First Class is a way more recent example, where Xavier tells Magneto that the key to using his powers is "finding the space between rage and serenity," which is basically the same thing: Serenity is just dandy, rage is kind of a bummer. Therefore, it makes sense to find a balance between the two.
But Wait a Minute ...
No, it doesn't. Balancing between two ideas is a compromise, and compromise only makes sense when it's two sides that are willing to work together. Political parties compromise. Fighting married couples compromise. How do you compromise between two polar opposites, or with an evil force bent on your destruction? Kill off half your own population? That seems like a loss to me.
X-Men Babies is probably the more stupid of the two options here, because "the space between rage and serenity" is just "being mildly stressed out," as far as I can tell, which isn't nearly as dramatic a thing for Xavier to somberly whisper through a voice-over.
20th Century Fox
"Imagine you're trying to rub one out before work, but the video's taking forever to load,
and you still have to make oatmeal so you're not hungry all morning."
But in Star Wars, "balancing the Force" means that both forces would be equally powerful, right? Yeah, we tried that in real life, with mutually assured destruction during the Cold War, and it was pretty goddamn stressful for everyone involved. Turns out building millions of nuclear weapons and pointing them at everyone, all the time, isn't really the best way to get any peace of mind. The problem is that a "balance" between two ideas that fundamentally can't coexist is never-ending war, which we can all agree is bad -- no matter how cool that one Civilization game is.
#5. Risking Everything for Love or Family
I'm not about to rail against the nuclear family or endorse some nihilistic bullshit here. To be clear, I'd do anything for my family, and I hope most of you would, too. Right? Not all of you have my nunchucks-and-ninja-wolves story to prove it, but don't worry, I believe you anyway.
And love? Man, love is rad -- especially the part where it makes us do dumb shit. I'm pretty sure blowing your savings to impress pretty people who like how your tongue tastes is one of the most important developmental periods you go through.
Michael Blann/Digital Vision/Getty Images
It's hard to make something as awesome as kissing sound gross, but I did it.
But Wait a Minute ...
Movies have kinda gone overboard with this whole thing, and not in the normal way that they go overboard with everything. At the end of Armageddon, after Bruce Willis and his charming band of wacky dumbass rednecks pull off the most complicated procedure ever attempted in space (more on that in a moment), the entire story comes to a stop for a second so Bruce can say goodbye to his daughter -- which would be fine, if he weren't putting the entire world at risk to do it.
But the weirdest example has to be Saving Private Ryan. It's the single highest grossing World War II movie ever made, despite not actually being about the war at all. It uses the Normandy invasion, the biggest and riskiest invasion the world had ever known, as the backdrop for a story about taking care of Matt Damon's mom. And while the movie pays lip service to how controversial it is to sacrifice eight lives to save one, all the characters decide at the end that they're doing the right thing. Tom Hanks says, "Maybe saving Private Ryan is the one decent thing we're able to pull out of this god-awful shitty mess," which totally dismisses the real reason we invaded Europe -- to create a kickass video game subgenre.
id Software
Never forget.
Because at the end of the day, Matt Damon's mom is more important to us than the entire war effort. We care way more about our personal relationships than the rest of the world, mainly because our brains don't work properly.
#4. Stupidity
Touchstone Pictures
When I was about 11 years old, my aunt Leslie gave me advice that's stuck with me to this day: "You can call someone a fucker, but you can't call them a dumb fucker." Then she drove me into the woods of Montana and left me there to find my way back to civilization alone. It was January, in Montana. Needless to say, I never let my Scattergories trash-talk get out of hand again.
Geoff Kuchera/iStock/Getty Images
Then I befriended this wolf and he led me to safety. Then I snapped this picture, I guess.
I'm having trouble keeping track of my lies.
Despite the fact that you shouldn't take advice from crazy Montanans who live alone in the woods with lots of guns (or from me, now that I think about it), the root of what she said is right: Society places such a high priority on intelligence that calling someone dumb is about the worst thing you can do.
But Wait a Minute ...
If that's true, how come stupid people in movies always default as being alright folks? In the first Rocky, the Italian Stallion seems dumber than a box of pet rocks trying to explain the allure of Pokemon, and that only adds to his appeal. In Armageddon, NASA needs a bunch of roughnecks to pull off the single most complex space expedition in history, because they've got moxie or whatever. The only person we can trust at NASA is Billy Bob Thornton, whom the script tells us is pretty smart, but c'mon, how bright can he really be? He's Billy Bob Thornton.
Touchstone Pictures
"Duhooyyyyyy" -Billy Bob Thornton in this scene, probably.
You also see it in Moonraker (Jaws) and The Princess Bride (Fezzik), and even Mongo in Blazing Saddles references how he's "only [a] pawn in [this twisted, tragicomical] game of life." It gets flipped in Hot Fuzz when Lurch decides not to switch sides in the climactic fight, but of course that's the joke.
Basically, there's a "You must have this much IQ" sign plastered on the outside of Evil University, but the Forces of Good have recruitment booths set up outside all the remedial classes. Smart people are too unpredictable, always one step ahead of us, nowhere near as comforting as ...

By now a decision has been made but at deadline, there was no word on the final outcome of the Corn Belt Conference track and field meet hosted by Prairie Central.
Pontiac was winning the boys' portion of the meet by two points when the meet was suspended for a second time by lightning. Should the meet be postponed it would be scheduled to resume on Monday.
The Indians had scored 89 points when the meet was delayed the second time with four events remaining. The girls had two events to be completed.
PTHS had garnered some championships with Zac Justus and Shawn Milhauser winning on the track and Andrew Beckman winning in the field.
Justus won the 800-meter run in a very close race. Milhauser won the 3,200 run and Beckman captured the triple jump.
On the girls' side, Pontiac won the 4x100 relay.

But every race has its number of individuals of the same kind? why arent they under scrutiny?. racism thats why. if your making derogatory comments about anyone, you yourself are lowering your position to those hand full of individuals.

CUBA – A 71-year-old Rushford woman was killed when the car she was a passenger in was struck by an allegedly drunk driver over the weekend, Cuba Police Chief Dustin Burch said Monday.
Police arrested William Felicetti, 46, of Niagara Falls on charges of failure to yield and driving while intoxicated.
Investigators said that at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday, Felicetti failed to yield at a yield sign and crashed head-on into a car driven by Kenneth McElheny, 50, of Rushford.
A woman who was in McElheny's vehicle was flown to Erie County Medical Center where she died of her injuries. Police did not release her name.
Felicetti and McElheny were taken to Olean General Hospital, where they were released after treatment.
Burch said more charges are pending against Felicetti.

Victoria McGowan scored 23 points and Shanasa Sanders added 18, but Stetson fell 73-68 to host Northern Kentucky in an Atlantic Sun Conference game Saturday evening at the Bank of Kentucky Center.
The Hatters (18-7, 11-3 A-Sun) had their three-game win streak halted while the Norse (11-11, 8-5) won for the fourth time in a row.
McGowan hit a step-back three-pointer with 37 seconds remaining to put the Hatters ahead by one, but Kayla Thacker answered 16 seconds later with a three of her own and the Norse hit three free throws down the stretch to pull out the victory.
Trailing by six early in the second half, the Hatters went on an 8-0 run to grab their first lead of the game 43-41 with 15:38 remaining. The lead changed hands five more times the remainder of the game, although Stetson led by as many as seven with six minutes left.
For the game, Stetson shot 46 percent from the floor and hit nine three-pointers, including four triples by McGowan and two by Sanders. Cherisse Burris added nine points, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
Northern Kentucky shot 48 percent and outrebounded Stetson 39-26.
The Hatters will be back in action Monday night at Lipscomb in game televised by ESPN3. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at Allen Arena in Nashville.
Notes: Shanasa Sanders played all 40 minutes ... McGowan scored in double figures for the 10th straight game and Sanders topped 15 points for the sixth time in a row.

Rated 3.1 out of 5�by 14 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Festivus Not the best, not the worst Yeah, they're hollow, that's for sure. Very light bars. I still belong to a gym and mostly work out there. This set is mostly for my wife. My clips seem to work well. The angles of the curl bar are similar to some of the bars I've used at the gym. I've seen lots of variations in these. It's kind of strange to use dumbbell bars that are so long. Not at all used to that. Got $10 off so it wasn't a bad deal. Just be prepared for the light, hollowness of the bars. February 5, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Ereck80 Does the job Not bad for the price, they are hollow which makes them feel cheap but they do the job. February 1, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Cjdedicatedlifter Would not recommend this product. It is light weight, cheap. Not enough bend in the curl bar which also places your hands in an awkward position. Dumbbell handles are too long. Just not a well designed product. Will likely be returning mine. January 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by AWebb Bars are a steal Haven't used large plates on these bars yet, but this was much needed, now that my wife is working out with me. She has her bars and I have my Olympic bars. Set was cheap too can't beat the price. If u can find a coupon online. Spend $50 get $10 off makes these bars a really good deal. In store these bars are sold separately and would be closer to $100 dollars. January 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Wiwi62 This product has great quality and I love it. I am very pleased with my purchasing of Apex Olympic Curl bar. January 11, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by bran31 Making it work The bars are all very light and the clips are very cheap. The clips do not hold the weights in place so your lifts are not the safest. However, I am working with what I have. September 16, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Johnny07 I would not recommend this product It is poorly constructed and made of thin metal the ends are capped with big plastic caps that are easy to break mine came broken in the box new the whole thing just feels cheap hope this helps January 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by T Ehhh I'm glad I read the reviews before buying, as other reviewers stated the bars are low weight and the clips don't hold the weight tightly so they slide and spin some. But since I was prepared for what I was getting they are fine for the price and get the job done. October 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Sam Not good The curl bar was flimsy and the dumbell handles were way too long. No problem, though, Dick's took them right back and I got better stuff. It was more expensive, but worth it. July 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Mighty_Waffle It's just OK, not great, not bad, not good The shipping took way too long past what was "expected date of arrival" The packaging was nice and the box it came in was in perfect condition. The actual bars are just mediocre. They will leave a stain on your hands, I'd recommend cleaning them before using. The grip on them is next to soft and I feel it could slip on harder curls; they are not rigid enough for hardcore use. The two smaller hand-bars are pretty wide and odd to use when curling side by side The price for these were not worth it imo. I probably would have been better off just finding a curling bar and getting individual dumbbells. Buyers remorse inevitable. I gave a fair 2-star rating because the curling bar itself is not bad but I would not recommend these honestly, look elsewhere. May 31, 2014
