- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic colorectal resection (LC) is associated with known recovery benefits and earlier discharge when compared to open colorectal resection (OC). Whether earlier discharge leads to a paradoxical increase in readmission has not been well characterized. The aim of this study is to compare the risk of readmission after the two procedures in a large, nationally representative sample. Patients who underwent colorectal resection in 2011 were identified from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. LC and OC patients were compared for patient factors, complications, and readmission rates. A multivariable analysis controlling for significant factors was performed to evaluate factors associated with readmission. Of 30,428 patients who underwent colorectal resection, 40.2% underwent LC. Length of stay (LOS) after LC was shorter than after OC (5.7 vs. 9.7 days, p < 0.001). LC was associated with a significantly lower rate of surgical site infections (SSI), bleeding, reoperation, 30-day mortality, and complications. Risk of readmission was greater for patients undergoing proctectomy than colectomy (12.7 vs. 10.6 %, p < 0.001), but was lower after laparoscopic than open for both procedures after controlling for confounding factors. Obesity, DM, operating time ≥180 min, steroid use, and ASA class 3-5 were found to be associated with readmission. Despite its technical complexity, LC can be performed without concerns for increased complications or readmission. The shorter length of stay and the lower risk of readmissions underline the true benefits of the laparoscopic approach for colorectal resection.
Conference Paper: INPATIENT HOSPITAL READMISSION BASED ON DISCHARGE DESTINATION AFTER COLORECTAL SURGERY.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Background Previous models of support for premature sheep fetuses have consisted of cesarean delivery followed by catheterization of umbilical or central vessels and support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The limitations of these models have been insufficient blood flow, significant fetal edema, and hemorrhage related to anticoagulation. Methods We performed a gravid hysterectomy on 13 ewes between 135 and 145 days gestational age. The uterine vessels were cannulated bilaterally and circulatory support was provided via ECMO. Successful transition was defined as maintenance of fetal heart rate for 30 minutes after establishing full extracorporeal support. Circuit flow was titrated to maintain mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) of 70–75%. Results Seven experiments were successfully transitioned to ECMO, with an average survival time of 2 hours 9 minutes. The longest recorded time from cannulation to death was 6 hours 14 minutes. By delivering a circuit flow of up to 2120 ml/min, all but one of the transitioned uteri were maintained within the desired SvO2 range. Conclusion We report a novel animal model of fetal ECMO support that preserves the placenta, mitigates the effects of heparin, and allows for increased circuit flow compared to prior techniques. This approach may provide insight into a technique for future studies of fetal physiology.
Article: Provider Density and Health System Facility Factors and Their Relationship to Rates of Pediatric Perforated Appendicitis in US Counties[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To examine whether density of providers or health care facility factors have a significant effect on the rates of perforated appendicitis in the pediatric population. A retrospective database analysis. Data were linked to the Area Resource File to determine if there was an association between perforated appendicitis and density of provider and facility factors. The National Inpatient Sample database and the Kids' Inpatient Database from 1988 to 2005. All patients included had an age at admission of younger than 18 years and were selected by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code as having perforated appendicitis (540.0 or 540.1) or acute appendicitis (540.9). Main Outcome Measure Odds ratio of perforated appendicitis to acute appendicitis by county-level density of provider and health care facility factors. The odds ratio of perforated appendicitis to acute appendicitis when stratified by quartiles of increasing density of providers and facility-level factors was statistically significant only for the highest-density quartile of pediatricians (odds ratio = 0.88; 95% confidence interval = 0.78-0.99). Increasing geographic density of pediatricians was associated with a decreasing trend in the odds ratio of perforated appendicitis, with a statistically significant protective effect observed in the highest-density quartile of pediatricians. The density of all other provider and health care facility factors analyzed did not demonstrate a significant association with the rates of perforated appendicitis.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to determine whether children with perforated appendicitis were more likely to present during specific days of the week or seasons of the year. After obtaining IRB exemption, a retrospective, population-based study of patients <18 with ICD9 codes of acute (540.9) or perforated (540.0, 540.1) appendicitis in the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) was performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed analyzing patient and hospital factors. A total of 31,457 children were identified with acute appendicitis, of whom 10,524 (33.5%) were perforated. Mondays [odds ratio (OR): 1.16; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.05-1.28] were significant for increased likelihood as day of presentation with perforation in US children more than any other day of the week. In seasonal analysis, fall (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.04-1.21) and winter (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.20) were at higher odds for perforation at presentation. Patients with Medicaid (OR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.03-1.43) and those uninsured (OR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.16-1.93) were more likely to present with perforation. Perforated appendicitis was more likely to present on Mondays in US children. Although appendicitis is most common in summer months, rates of perforated appendicitis were highest in fall and winter.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency of the neonate. Previous information about this disease has largely been gathered from limited series. We analyzed 13 years of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and 3 years of the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID; 1997, 2000, 2003) to generate the most comprehensive profile of outcomes to date of medically versus surgically treated NEC. We identified 20 822 infants with NEC, of whom 15,419 (74.1%) and 5403 (25.9%) were undergoing medical and surgical management, respectively. Overall, surgical patients had greater length of stay, total hospital charges, and mortality. Among infants dying during admission, there was no significant difference in length of stay or charges between the medical and surgical groups. These findings highlight the need for developing a clinically relevant risk stratification tool to identify NEC patients at high risk for death.
Article: Report of 2,087,915 Surgical Admissions in U. S. Children: Inpatient Mortality Rates by Procedure and Specialty[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mortality rates for eight surgical procedures have been endorsed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality as part of the Inpatient Quality Indicators developed to assist hospitals in identifying potential problem areas and as an indirect measure of quality for inpatient adult surgical care. Little to no broad information relating to the overall mortality relating to the surgical care of children is available. An analysis providing national data on the most common procedures performed in children and their associated mortality would be useful in beginning to create benchmarks for standards of surgical care in the pediatric patient. A total of 93 million admissions from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) file from the years 1988-1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004-2005 and the Kids Inpatient Database (KID) from 1997, 2000, 2003 were screened to identify surgical admissions in children under the age of 18 years. Variables such as gender, race, age at admission, length of hospital stay, total hospital charges, insurance status, and inpatient mortality were analyzed. Diagnosis related group (DRG) codes were used to provide inpatient mortality rates for 147 different procedures and 15 surgical subspecialties. Over the 18-year period considered, a total of 2,087,915 surgical admissions in U.S. children were identified. Most of the patients were white (60.92%), male (54.64%), and were treated in urban, teaching hospitals (60.36%). Overall inpatient mortality was 0.85%, with a median hospital stay of 3 days. Procedures with the highest mortality were craniotomies for trauma (26.27%), liver and/or intestinal transplants (11.12%), heart transplants (10.94%), and other procedures for multiple significant trauma (10.69%). When analyzed by surgical subspecialty, gastrointestinal or general pediatric surgery saw the highest volume of patients, followed by orthopedic and ear, nose, and throat surgery (534,053 vs. 352,228 vs. 257,118 total procedures, respectively). Pediatric surgical literature has classically focused on disease-based outcomes. However, such data do not provide a comprehensive profile of pediatric surgical outcomes by procedure or subspecialty. The present study provides nationwide data relating to inpatient pediatric surgical outcomes in U.S. hospitals by procedure and pediatric subspecialty.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains one of the most challenging conditions to treat within the pediatric surgical and medical communities. In spite of modern treatment modalities, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and improved ventilatory support, mortality remains high. The present study analyzes a US database containing information from nearly 93 million discharges in the US. Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia who underwent surgical repair were identified by ICD-9 procedure code and inclusion criteria including an age at admission of less than 1 year. Variables of gender, race, age, geographic region, co-existing diagnoses and procedures, hospital type, hospital charges adjusted to 2006 dollars, length of stay, and inpatient mortality were collected. A total of 89% of patients were either treated initially or rapidly transferred to urban teaching hospitals for definitive treatment of CDH. The inpatient mortality rate was 10.4% with a median length of stay of 20 days (interquartile range of 9-40 days). The median inflation-adjusted total hospital charge was $116,210. Respiratory distress was the most common co-existing condition (68.8%) followed by esophageal reflux (27.8%). The most common concomitant procedures performed were ECMO (17.8%) and fundoplication (17.6%). This study, which represents the largest characterization of US infants who have undergone CDH repair using data from a nationally representative non-voluntary database, demonstrates that surgical repair is associated with significant mortality and morbidity.

At LA Fitness' Zumba classes, you can step up to help patients with ALS.
Are you planning to wine and dine this weekend? You can dance away some of those calories at a Zumba class that supports Augie's Quest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to curing ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The organization is named for Augie Nieto, who helped develop the first electronic stationary bicycle. By 2005 he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and since then he has teamed with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to raise $35 million for the cause.
"Partnering with LA Fitness each year to help fight this disease is essential to help raise awareness and meet our goals as an organization," said Nieto, co-chairman of MDA's ALS Division and chairman of Octane Fitness.
Classes will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday at LA Fitness centers throughout Orange County and North America. Members and nonmembers can participate for a $20 donation. For more information, visit augiesquest.org/lafitness.

My reasoning was that auto-conf is a bit special because it tries it best to keep client monitor configuration, rather than obeying to window manager constrains. But that distincition is a bit blurry nowadays. So we can decide to use app_get_fullscreen() instead here.I agree that the problem is with all kinds of fullscreen, but only when we start fullscreen. so we've no priv->before_saved and then we end up with the very small windows for all monitors. It seems wrong to me to always try to keep the fullscreen size / resolution when we leave fullscreen. I think restoring the size and position from before going fullscreen is the right thing to do. Except when there is no size / position to restore, and I believe that in that case it does make sense to keep the window sizes as they were in fullscreen mode. So how about: if (priv->before_saved) { ... } else { virt_viewer_display_queue_resize(priv->display); }That's ok, though we need to change the: - if (!priv->before_saved) { + if (gtk_widget_get_realized(priv->window)) { Which seems a reasonable change.
But what then if enter_fullscreen is somehow execute twice? Then the coordinates + size we get from the second run are when we're already fullscreen. Which is what the !priv->before_saved protects against. So IMHO the new check should be: + if (!priv->before_saved && gtk_widget_get_realized(priv->window)) {
Also, I don't think we should set back priv->before_saved = FALSE, as it contains valid value from then on. And setting it back to FALSE might end up to queue_resize() if we call leave_fullscreen() twice for some reason.
leave_fullscreen is protected against being called twice, it starts with: if (!priv->fullscreen) return; Where as enter_fullscreen has the before_fullscreen saving before its similar getting called twice check, not sure why things are done that way, but they are. ### Thinking about this it is probably best to move the if (priv->fullscreen) return; In enter_fullscreen to the top, and then go with your suggestion, so make the check for setting before_fullscreen + before_saved: if (gtk_widget_get_realized(priv->window)) { And removing the priv->before_saved = FALSE call.

Currently only available in the US.
- You must open Google Voice at least once after upgrading to route calls.
- When using Google Voice for Android, both domestic and international calls are placed through a US-based Google Voice access number, and will use the standard minutes from your cell phone plan.
Critical service I use. Been using my Google voice number as my main number since I have more than one phone (iPhone & Android) for 5 years. This service let's me get my calls whichever device I am carrying and even routes calls to Hangouts app on my desktop so I can take calls on my laptop. I understand this app operates in the background since hangouts is the new front facing interface but I certainly hope Google shows this application some much needed attention by updating it. Google please keep this critical service going.
I use Google voice for all my calls and text messaging. I have records of text messages from long ago across several phone providers and I have control of it all. I have several phone numbers that can all answer my GV line. It transcribes my messages and lets me know what the caller wanted without having to listen to every message. Its portable and convenient. If I leave my phone at home I just forward it to what ever is close. It keeps all of my contact information so I don't have to worry about contact
Google voice not integrated well It's huge as Google loves to make all there apps ridiculously large and not moveable to the SD card. I find it odd that Google doesn't take the time to make apps that are compatible with Android products. There is no block call list and even phone calls that are set to not go through do and they get sent to the phone vmail not google.
Pure awesomeness! Used for free texting for a few months as my plan wanted $20 a month for texting. Worked perfectly. My new plan includes texting so I am now using Google Voice along with Hangouts Dialer for free internet calling as a main phone number to give out since we ditched the VOIP service we had. We only ever got robocalls, and I don't want to get them on my cell, so now I have a free calling home number on my Nexus tablet! Works perfectly, couldn't be happier.
My number is also assigned to someone else My Google Voice number has been ringing someone else's phone. They are pretending to be me. I deleted all numbers linked to the forwarding service and nothing has changed. Individual identity, intellectual property, and privacy is still very important to me and always will be. Why do we need voice if we have hangouts or messenger?
Very basic Shows transcriptions that are nearly impossible to understand, and corrections cannot be made from within the app. If you get a lot of hangups (short or zero content recordings) there is no way to mark read or delete in bulk...they have to be handled one by one. There have been no updates to the functionality of this app in well over a year (recent updates are just bug fixes), and at this point I would consider it pretty much abandonware. I expected better from Google...

The story goes that a child, sitting on his mother's lap, wished that future generations would be able to see her beautiful eyes. He touched her eyes, then waved his hand over the ground, and blue flowers appeared—what we now call "forget-me-nots."
The pieces selected for this exhibition, like the forget-me-nots in the story, bring forward ideas, memories, and images gleaned from the artists' pasts. The triggers for the work on display include a childhood love of old-fashioned books, an uncle's story about a young boy playing with a revolver, the innocence of Victorian-era silhouettes, a generation of dealers in the New York art world, traditional African textile patterns, and paintings made by a young girl's father. Each artist transforms transient thoughts and vague private recollections, allowing them a place in our shared memory and collective history.

He hijacked the Heisman in 2012 as a redshirt freshman, then, in 2013, he hijacked social media and the attention of the NCAA infractions hounds . . . and probably should have won the Heisman again.
For that level of fame and notoriety, at the NFL's Play 60 predraft media event in Manhattan, Manziel was the last player announced at the Chelsea Park field.
The other 29 players were announced in small groups.

Definition: This entry provides the distribution of the population according to age. Information is included by sex and age group (0-14 years, 15-64 years, 65 years and over). The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.
Population Pyramid
A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends.

Mr. Speaker, since 2002 over $362 million in government grants have gone to fund a liberal news organization by the name of Internews.
The Business and Media Institute describes Internews as a liberal journalism nonprofit, and states that not only does it push a liberal agenda, but it also has helped create three other liberal organizations.
Why are taxpayers' dollars subsidizing a liberal news outlet? This is a misuse of the public's money. People need unbiased information so they can form their own opinions and make educated decisions.
One of the greatest challenges that democratic America faces today is a biased media. It is inexcusable and irresponsible for the Federal Government to give any of the American taxpayers' dollars to a liberal media organization.

For all of my life the major ideological, cultural and commercial comfort blanket draped over our nation's shoulders has been the ideal of the American Dream.
It is the ultimate symbol of the "can do" culture. It stands for a nation where you can be what you want to be, to live a life where potential is realised. From movies to media, from corporations to the military, it has underpinned a belief structure that is much more than the asset of a nation, it has quite literally been a force that has inspired the world.
It's been an issue I have been thinking about a lot this weekend as a delegate of the British American Project at its annual gathering in Cambridge.
The conclusions I reached were these. That the confidence and outlook of the American Dream remain intact but that the chief standard bearers have changed. While once it was most clearly embodied in military activism and mutli-national corporations it has become much more nuanced in recent years.
The new age of the American Dream is essentially one that is no longer symbolised by a nation but by its cities. New, urban powerhouses beyond the obvious giants of New York and Silicon Valley. Today cities like Austin, Boulder and Portland are also taking their place at the economic top table.
The US thinker, Bruce Katz, has written of a metropolitan revolution, where the ambition of US cities will increasingly take over the reins from a bitterly divided and dysfunctional federal government.
It is also one where the optimism and confidence is most actively vested in the US's hugely successful entrepreneurship culture, which is also by its nature a largely urban endeavor.
Third quarter figures for 2013 recently released by the US Small Business Administration show that private sector employment is closing in fast on its 2008 peak and it is the nation's entrepreneurs that are driving that progress. Small firms have created some 63pc of all net new jobs between 2009-2012.
This new take on the Dream is a much more sober, quieter, commercially driven and urban affair. I would also suggest that it reflects changes here in the UK.
The cheerleaders for economic recovery here in Britain are the nation's entrepreneurs. I can't think of a single public platform I have either shared or attended where the optimism about the future expressed by an entrepreneur has been matched, let alone surpassed, by a big company leader.
In turn, as the economy perks up it is the country's cities that stand to inherit the benefits most quickly. I spent a couple of days in Manchester last week, visiting for the first time since I sat on the Commission Into the Future of Cities in 2011.
The changes in that city have been immense. In many ways it has much of the presence that you feel in big US cities like Chicago. It's hard to put your finger on it. Perhaps it's the built environment, the new high-rise offices and hotels. Perhaps it's the people. The urgency in the pace of the step, the purpose of employment. Whatever, it is something tangible.
For too long too many of our cities, while sympathetically restored and regenerated, have not been similarly blessed by high rates of economic activity. Manchester stands out right now because it demonstrates the guts, determination and grit so often associated with the American Dream.
While economic recovery is to set to improve the fortunes of our cities there is no divine right for them to recover equally and at the same pace. While central government can do much to provide some equality in matters of finance and where it moves civil servants, it will be about appetite and the will win. These are the factors that the market responds to. Witness the £800 million investment by the Chinese at Manchester's new Airport City.
There is a saying that when America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. For a number of years the States has been laid up on its sick bed. It has struggled massively with its military obligations as the world's policeman, many of its mega corporations turned out to be giants with feet of clay, and the visceral political divide shows no sign of abating.
But you would be wrong to draw the conclusion that the dream has turned into a nightmare. The future comes across certainly as a more disaggregated one with the rise of cities rather than the nation. But that future has massive potential which I believe the UK could and should learn from.
In his 1893 essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," the historian Frederick Jackson Turner wrote of Americans as defined by their incessant probing for "a new field of opportunity."
Opportunity has always been at the heart of the American Dream. Today, the future of that dream is, as it is for the UK, about cities and the entrepreneurs who live and work in them.

Reviews for Minestrone
"I used two cans of white beans instead of the other beans, no cabbage, or green beans and I added a little wine and three bay leaves. It came out perfect. I was shocked how much flavor it had. It needs more liquid though."
"Absolutely wonderful soup! I didn't have any cabbage but it's great without it! I had to thin it out some with about 3 cups of broth and tomato juice. Still very hearty. Used mini shells and I can't say enough good things about it!!!!!' Freezes great too!"
"Really good. I threw in a bunch of extra stuff to account for all the stuff that I didn't have on hand and it still turned out delicious! Even my husband and 2 year old loved it!"
"Delicious. I mixed lean ground beef with pork sausage (cut from the casings) and the whole family loved it. I also used mini shells for the pasta and loved the look and taste. I must admit, I am not sure how this is supposed to make 20 servings. I made this for Sunday dinner, feeding 6 adults and two children, and we barely had enough leftover to make one bowl of soup the next day for lunch. Granted, I used BIG bowls to serve the soup in, so that might have something to do with it. ;)"
"My family loved this! In fact, my six year old had thirds and asked for this to go on his list of favs."
"This was great! I made it for a sick friend, and it made so much we had some for our dinner too. We don't even like minestrone, and this soup converted us! I used Italian sausage instead of ground beef and added more stock. Will add more cabbage next time, too, since that was my favorite part!"
"Excellent recipe, good on a cold fall or winter day. My husband and children enjoy the soup. It is very hearty and filling, when completly cooked sometimes I need to even add 2 cans of V-8 juice to the soup to help thin it out. I do not even add hte salt, still very good. I get so many compliments on this recipe. It makes a large pot full and even freezes pretty good."
"Awesome recipe. My children and hubby love this dish."
"My whole family loved this recipe...that includes a 4 year old. I will definitely be making this again."
"We really enjoyed this soup. I made a couple of changes...used sliced polished sausage for part of the meat, and I had to add quite a bit more broth and salt, as it was very stewlike. Tasted great!"

City pin hopes on defender as they welcome back former player
Bristol City are pinning their Championship hopes on a defender who began his career at the club a decade ago.
Scott Golbourne joins the club from Wolverhampton Wanderers, as they seek to add to their squad ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.
They've secured the signing of the Wolves left back for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old first joined City as a schoolboy, and was a product of the academy before he made his debut at the age of 17.
After a brief spell in the first team, left to join Reading ten years ago and has since had a host of stints at Exeter City, Barnsley and Wolves.
But now the Bristolian is now back at Ashton Gate.
A cousin of another former defender, Matthew Hill, Golbourne has penned a two-and-a-half-year contract after undergoing a medical at Failand.
Scott is a Bristol lad and that's important to us.
He's a left-back. At the moment we've either got Joe Bryan, who's more of an attacking force, or Derrick Williams, who is more of a defensive type. It's about getting that balance in between.
Scott has been here before, he's athletic and someone we need for this football club.

Bristol City and Yeovil crash out of FA Cup
Bristol City and Yeovil are both out of the FA Cup after losing their replays.
City lost 1-0 at home to Premier League side West Brom, while Yeovil were beaten 5-4 on penalties by Carlisle, after the match finished 1-1.
Match report: Yeovil 1 - 1 Carlisle (Carlisle win 5-4 on penalties)
Carlisle will face Everton in the fourth round of the FA Cup after their thrilling penalty shootout win over Yeovil.
Mark Ellis stepped up to slot home the winning penalty after Matt Dolan had his spot-kick pushed onto the post by visiting goalkeeper Mark Gillespie.
Yeovil were left to rue a missed penalty by Francois Zoko in added time when he fired wide having sent Gillespie the wrong way - the Glovers having surrendered the lead when Antony Sweeney cancelled out Jack Compton's opener.
After a quiet opening 30 minutes, Shaun Jeffers played a pass into Liam Walsh, who neatly stepped over the ball, leaving it to fall into the path of Compton, who rifled past Gillespie.
Carlisle drew level on 77 minutes after Yeovil failed to clear a corner, and Sweeney scrambled home a header.
A mass brawl then ensued in the aftermath of the goal. Ibehre joined the melee and struck Krysiak on the neck, but referee Tim Robinson only showed him a yellow card.
After 90 minutes, extra time was notable for two red cards. First Yeovil defender Alex Lacey was shown a straight red card for a lunge on Charlie Wyke, before Luke Joyce's foul on Jeffers earned him a second booking six minutes later.
After Gillespie kept out Jakub Sokolik's header at the death, it was left to penalties to decide a pulsating tie, and when Dolan missed, Ellis made no mistake, slamming the winning kick home.
Match report: Bristol City 0 - 1 West Bromwich Albion
Salomon Rondon's first FA Cup goal saw West Brom past Bristol City in their third round replay at Ashton Gate.
Rondon settled the tie 1-0 in Albion's favour with only his fourth goal for the Baggies since completing a #12million move from Zenit St Petersburg last August.
The Venezuelan had not scored since the end of October, but he lived up tohis hefty price tag with a delightful 52nd-minute finish after stealing between City defenders Aden Flint and Derrick Williams to control Craig Dawson's cross.
Tony Pulis' Barclays Premier League side were well worth the victory and might feel a decent cup run is on the agenda with Sky Bet League One Peterborough their fourth-round visitors to The Hawthorns.
City had changed manager since the first game with John Pemberton in caretaker charge following the dismissal of Steve Cotterill, but the Robins rarely threatened until a few risks were taken in the final quarter.
Albion boss Pulis named a strong side even though he was without injured pair Darren Fletcher and James Morrison, the latter's stoppage-time equaliser in the first game having secured this replay.
But it was the absence of Saido Berahino from the matchday squad which raised eyebrows with the out-of-favour striker reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea and Newcastle.
Albion shaded a first half short on creativity but failed to work City's teenage goalkeeper Max O'Leary, who was making his first senior start with Frank Fielding sidelined by a rib injury.
James McClean, Victor Anichebe and Rondon were all guilty of failing to hit the target, while Craig Gardner whistled one past the post when executing impressive technique to meet a dropping ball at the edge of the area.
Although they were often second best, Luke Freeman drilled a shot straight at Ben Foster in the Albion goal and City fashioned the best chance of the first period when a precise four-man move opened up the visitors.
Freeman and Scott Wagstaff were both involved before Bobby Reid sent Wes Burns scampering through on goal.
But Burns, the hero on Saturday when his injury time winner sunk Championship leaders Middlesbrough, could not find the net this time as his shot fired across Foster fell wide.
Albion should have been ahead three minutes before the break when Gardner, again lurking on the edge of the box, struck his volley into the ground.
The ball fell kindly for Gareth McAuley but the unmarked defender sent his header over from six yards.
Albion, however, were ahead soon after the restart when Rondon took a neat touch to control on his chest and then finish into the corner past O'Leary.
City probed for an equaliser with Aaron Wilbraham heading over and Burns' angled drive pushed wide by Foster.
But they lacked the guile to break down organised opponents who took their place in round four.

Michael Anthony Still Has Painful Memories of David Lee Roth's Butt
It's well known that David Lee Roth took issue with Eddie Van Halen's growing fondness for keyboards during the sessions for Van Halen's '1984' album.
It's well known that David Lee Roth took issue with Eddie Van Halen's growing fondness for keyboards during the sessions for Van Halen's '1984' album.
Want to know how far Van Halen is in Michael Anthony's rear-view mirror?
Sammy Hagar confirms a story Mick Jones told us about engineer Donn Landee during the recording of Van Halen's '5150.'
Born without a right hand, John Denner is still able to play Van Halen's 'Eruption.'
Is Van Halen getting ready to release some new music?
Though long-time fans likely hoped it was an April Fool's joke gone terribly wrong, original frontman David Lee Roth did in fact quit Van Halen 29 years ago today, on April 1, 1985.
Following the release of 1991's 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge,' Van Halen embarked on a world tour that capped a phenomenally successful decade for what was already one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. Not a bad time to release a live album, in other words, and in 1993, they did just that, with 'Live: Right Here, Right Now.' According to a new report, however, that double-disc collection might never have seen the light of day if not for David Lee Roth.
For Patty Smyth, the improbable opportunity to join Van Halen as David Lee Roth's replacement in the mid-'80s would have come at too high of a cost.
David Lee Roth recently let slip that Van Halen is working on a follow-up to 2012's 'A Different Kind of Truth,' and although he cautioned fans they'd have to wait awhile, it sounds like the band is making real progress.
"Ted just didn't see eye to eye with the way I looked at things. That was my whole premise for building the studio."
It's been great having Van Halen back in action with David Lee Roth in recent years, but the dark cloud hanging over their reunion has been the absence of original bassist Michael Anthony, who was exiled in favor of Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang. Don't expect to hear any sour grapes from Anthony, though.
Drummer Alex Van Halen married Kelly Carter in 1984 and she stayed his wife until 1996, when they divorced. She kept the last name and all was well with the world until she dared to start her own business, Kelly Van Halen...

Canberra Raiders captain David Shillington says public should not be too harsh on Josh Dugan
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 01, 2013
CANBERRA skipper Dave Shillington, the man who effectively removed Josh Dugan from the Raiders, has urged the public against "crucifying" the troubled star.
Less than 24 hours after Dugan's meltdown on Instagram, Shillington said he hoped the 22-year-old would remain in the NRL.
The Queensland and Kangaroo prop, who headed the Raiders' leadership group which lost confidence in the wayward fullback, also urged Dugan to give up social media following his latest "snap".
"I don't want to see Josh Dugan lost from the game," Shillington said last night.
'He didn't fit in with our mould here at Canberra, but I hope he turns it around; that a club will pick him up and give him the right guidance. He's a young guy who needs help. Everyone deserves a second chance and I don't think we should crucify him."
While Raiders coach David Furner refused to be drawn on the issue - "I don't want to waste any time on that, I've got other problems" - Shillington said he feared Dugan had simply become overwhelmed by his critics on Twitter and Instagram.
"It's human nature to throw stones pretty harshly at people with a public profile and he's copped some serious criticism," Shillington said. "I'm not sure if many people would handle that well. He's cracked. He's only human.
"Everyone is guilty of snapping. It's the same for those on $50,000 as it is for people on $500,000.
"I haven't heard everything, but I understand Josh has come under serious fire on Twitter and hit back inappropriately. Everyone has been guilty of that, of snapping.
"As footballers, we have a responsibility to behave ourselves. To cop the criticism. But everyone is human, everyone has a breaking point. I want to see him get help."

January 27th, 2011
A few weeks ago I issued a memo advising academic departments that the School of Graduate Studies is shifting to more webcasting for final doctoral examinations. The reason is straightforwardly economic. With great surges in graduate enrolment come great surges in final examinations. That's great, except that it now costs more money to do what we have always done and done proudly—that is, fly external examiners into St. John's for a couple of days to examine doctoral candidates.
There has been some chattering about this imminent shift, and a lively conversation, although sometimes a misinformed one, is starting to percolate.
Consider this: a scan of Canadian graduate schools shows us that most have long abandoned the practice of bringing examiners into the examination. I have been an examiner for some well regarded Canadian universities with pretty curious practices, having been asked to submit my questions in advance, but never hearing how the student performed, who was going to ask the questions on my behalf, or really anything at all about the examination event. It's like submitting a well considered critique into a black hole. How fruitful is that for me or the student?
For some time, our graduate school has been able to hold its ground in the face of challenges from some in our senior administration, because we have appreciated the benefits and the privilege of introducing an external examiner to a PhD candidate, thereby, one would hope, cementing a fruitful future relationship, one on which the candidate could draw for letters of reference, advice on publishing, and so on.
None of those benefits will actually change under a new model, and we will save a lot of money, paper, jet fuel, and headaches while we are at it. Webcasting, especially with today's professional expertise and hi-def tech capacities, ain't what it used to be. We are not talking about Skype anymore. Real-time dialogue can now transpire without the impression you are conversing with someone from a Stanley Kubrick film.
What will change? The in-person DNA exchange, admittedly often—although not always—a satisfying experience; the opportunity to have a beer with the examiner, about which less said the better. Most examiners fly in, weather permitting, and then fly out almost immediately following an oral defense in time to prepare for their next class or seminar at their home institution. A few hang around to do seminars on our campus, but these are rare examples.
What will we gain? Time. It is much easier arranging a final examination when you do not have to worry about airplane schedules. Students on the whole will not have to wait as long as they have in the past to get the event scheduled and over with. They will also gain a much larger pool of potential examiners. Consider that because of the costs the trend has been to bring examiners in from somewhere on the mainland of Canada, and often restricted to Ontario because the further west one goes, the more money, inconvenience, and struggle we have to accommodate dates. As several graduate students have pointed out, the webcasting of examinations means that their external examiners can come from anywhere in the world. Right now we could hardly even begin to think about bringing someone highly qualified and distinguished in the field from the UK or Australia, for example, with the budget we have. Moreover, living where we do on the eastern edge of the continent it sometimes happens that scheduled examinations are canceled or postponed when the flights can't get in, such as would be the case today, as I write this blog. We simply won't have that hassle, extra costs—and attendant disappointment anymore.
We will also gain savings, which we can well channel into other services graduate students need, such as their own conference travel. My hunch is that if you put the option before graduate students as to whether they would prefer flying in an external examiner or having the opportunity to have their own conference travel supported they would choose the latter. Frankly, why wouldn't they? I would have. Right now we are experimenting with the process, aiming to ramp up to at least half of our final examinations being webcasted in the next few months. I imagine a time when almost all defenses will be managed this way, once everyone realizes the benefits and gets used to the system. As with everything else technological, a transition period will relax anxieties or misunderstandings of the process.
Most important for Graduate Studies is maintaining the integrity of the examination experience. We believe we are moving in the right direction, leaving the door open for some special cases where departments might be able to pitch flying in an examiner, or sharing the cost with SGS, when there is obvious advantage to that person being present.
I am heartened by all those who are welcoming the new option, and look forward to seeing how this green experiment plays out.

Lejeunes mark golden anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Fred LeJeune Sr. - June 21, 2014
Mr. and Mrs. Fred LeJeune Sr. - June 6, 1964
Fred and Linda LeJeune of Iota recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a weekend of events hosted by their children.
The festivities were kicked off on the evening of Friday, June 20, as Fred and Linda welcomed their out-of-town guests with a barbecue cookout at the couple's home. Family and friends from California, New York, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana enjoyed a simple menu of hamburgers and hot dogs, fresh summery salads, watermelon and plenty of cold beer.
Party-goers reminisced late into the evening while the kids entertained themselves riding four-wheelers, chasing frogs and catching dragonflies.
The big celebration was held Saturday, June 21, at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church Hall in Evangeline. More than 150 friends and family members gathered for a luncheon reception and a blessing of the couple's marriage.
Linda's brother, Rev. Don Aycock of Palatka, Florida, offered a few words before visitors got a taste of Cajun culture and many of the family's favorites recipes - from slow-cooked beef brisket with white beans and slaw, to crawfish fettuccine, marinated shrimp and jambalaya cooked on site.
For dessert, guests could choose sweets from a table devoted to cakes, pies and cookies.
The church hall was decorated with gold balloons and Boston, foxtail and asparagus ferns, dieffenbachia, English ivy and schefflera. The tables were draped with ivory linen, gold embroidered table runners and fresh floral centerpieces of gold and yellow sunflowers, spider mums, poms and alstromeria.
Strategically placed were large canvas prints from the couple's 1964 wedding, including photos of the bride and groom with their parents and bridal party.
The anniversary cake was made by family member Myrtis Darbonne to closely resemble Linda's wedding cake. The triple-tiered white cake, adorned with roses, rosettes, edible gold dragées, white pedestals and doves, offered guests decadent layers of praline, strawberry and coconut fillings.
Among the pedestals holding the upper tier was a small bouquet of flowers complementing the table centerpieces. A gold cross with intertwining rings crowned the cake.
A German chocolate cake was prepared for the groom as requested. The top of the cake included edible photos of the couple throughout the years.
Those wishing to savor the weekend just a little longer were treated to a crawfish boil Sunday morning before departing.
Fred is the son of the late Clobulle and Mary LeJeune of Egan. Linda is the daughter of the late Dewey and Mabel Aycock of Evangeline.
The couple met as teenagers while riding the school bus. They were married on June 6, 1964, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Iota. Father Josef Von Brero officiated.
After honeymooning in New Orleans, they briefly set up housekeeping in Houma. Soon, Fred's career in construction had them moving frequently. They began a family and settled in Richwood, Texas, before returning to Iota in the early 1980s. Fred retired from Turner Industries in 2008.
Fred continues to work in his shop and keeps and over-abundant garden. He is a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Iota. Linda is an active member of the First Baptist Church of Evangeline and continues as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
Fred and Linda have three children: Fred LeJeune Jr. of Iota, Lea Ann and Larry Durant of Ada, Oklahoma, and Travis and Melissa LeJeune of Baton Rouge. And nothing brings a bigger smile to their faces than their grandchildren, Lucas Michael and Annabelle Grace of Baton Rouge.

I have a satellite e45t-a4300 laptop that came with Windows 8. I upgraded it to 8.1 a few months back and have not had any issues with it.
Last night when I turned on the laptop I received the following message on the screen:
Recovery Your PC needs to be repaired The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information File: \BCD Error code: 0xc000000d
Hitting escape would take me into the BIOS. I tried to reboot and enter the recovery partition but it would always just take me back to the error message. I went into the BIOS and change the boot mode from UEFI to CMS and now when I reboot I get the following error message:
PXE-MOF: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I am also not able to get into the BIOS to change the boot mode back to UEFI. I tried holding down F2, F12, Esc, 0 and nothing will boot me back into the BIOS.
I called support and he told me on the phone they are not trained for that level of technicality and I would have to send it in for repair and I would be responsible for shipping and the warranty may not cover what needs to be fixed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to 1) get back into the BIOS and change it back to UEFI so I can try to get back to the recovery partition, or 2) know how to resolve this issue?
I haven't tried downloading a Windows 8 image on a bootable USB yet but open to ideas/suggestions.
Press the shift button when you turn off laptop, then possibly the fn and f2 to reach BIOS. Once you do try f8 to do a startup repair.
Thank you for the reply, however holding down fn and F2 during reboot still does not get me into the BIOS. I still get the message saying:
PXE-MOF: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
Remove hard drive, leave out and try to enter Bio's to make your changes. Then reinstall the hard drive and try
I would do that but I'm a little cautious since I do not want to void my warranty for the time being.
i was unable to get into the bios using any of the F keys and Windows 8.1 would not boot so no UEFI. i sent mine in via Geek Squad warranty - happened just a month after factory warranty expired -geek squad will cover or replace. However i would like to know for later how to do this i WONDER IF TOSHIBA HAS A CURE FOR THIS - IS THERE SOMETHING I AM MISSING - all i can ASSUME is that something is broken?? I sure hope that it doesn't mean that if Windows won't boot you need to send your computer in to be fixed??
Press the shift key when turning off then hold or rapidly tap the f2 key when starting
anyone jhave any ideas?
i tried that several times
Press f12 at startup and then set up, I think it was setup that took me to the bio's.
what is CMS? i have been using bios(cmos) for 25 yrs. this one i can't enter - lucky i paid for geek squad and they have it coming back repaired as we speak(i think the hard drive pooped and caused other issues- the suspense ......)- i will update when recieved .........................:smileyhappy
If your computer has Windows 8.0 when returned (that's likely), follow these instructions to properly upgrade to 8.1.
How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
what is CMS? i have been using bios(cmos) for 25 yrs.
The rules have changed. We oldsters have some relearning to do.
The BIOS has been replaced by the UEFI. One can simulate some functions of a BIOS by switching the UEFI to CSM (not CMS).
The old partitioning with an MBR now uses GPT.
Thanks Jerry, so once recieved repaired, i make my backup boot usb and put it away, i upgrade to Win 8.1, then change within Windows from UEFI to CSM so that if this ever happens in the future when not under warranty, i would be able to get into bios as normal(hit del, f2, f12 or whatever) and say replace my hard drive etc which i would have done if no warranty? i wonder what prevented me from being able to get to bios - was it hte equip failure - will know what it was when i recieve the computer(although the e45t-a4300 would always boot to the Toshiba splash screen) or was it because i had not previously(before hardware issue) changed from within Windows to CSM from UEFI?
i make my backup boot usb and put it away, ... then change within Windows from UEFI to CSM so that if this ever happens in the future when not under warranty, i would be able to get into bios as normal
No need mess around in the UEFI in order to restore from recovery media (your backup boot usb). According to everything I read here, it works for Secure Boot. CSM is for booting from old-fashion media, like a Windows 7 installation DVD.
Reaching the UEFI when Windows won't boot is otherwise problematic. If you've completely shut down Windows 8, there's no problem. But normal shutdown is really a hibernate of the kernel files. So normal shutdown creates fast boot.
Even when Windows was not completely shut down, you should be able to access the recovery environment (which is on a separate partition) and reach the UEFI from there. You can practice that from within Windows 8.1.
Settings > Power > Shift + Restart > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings
The recovery environment in Windows 8.x starts at the Choose an option menu, which contains the Troubleshoot option above..
Hi all, recieved the Toshiba e45t-a4300 back from the Geek Squad and had to make a seperate phone call and pull theeth to find out what was repaired. The hard drive was replaced, the palm rest was replaced(so i/we still do not know the origin or the click - was it the interupt being set off through the speakers - like in the old days with a sound card using wrong resources - or was the periotic click the hard drive)- did not have enough time to diagnois before it totally died. As far as the Geek Squad repairs : look good, and they were fast!
I will see what bios version they sent it back with once i remember wher to look
Be sure to follow instructions when you upgrade to 8.1 - and to create a USB flash drive containing recovery media.
Thaniks Jerry, i checked the Windows version they reinstalled and it was 8.1 so i did not even do a recovery media - i am relying on the 32 gig usb i did originally a year ago. i don't know if i could do it now that i have put like Classic Shell, Open Office etc? Please let me know if i can do it now that i have put stuff on the hard drive? like i said i figured the recovery usb i made a year ago would work?
i checked the Windows version they reinstalled and it was 8.1
Hmm. I wonder what they did. Probably restored the hard disk using the normal Toshiba recovery media for that model and then upgraded. That means the recovery partition would have Windows 8.0. I know of no way to tell for sure.
Or maybe there is no recovery partition? Open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) and attach a picture.
In any case, you should create an image of the current drive for backup Windows 8.1 has that feature here.
Control Panel > File History > System Image Backup (at the lower left)
You should write those periodically to an external drive. I can give you a shortcut to there. Or you can use a third-party application.
on further investigation i see they have the latest bios updated to ver. 1.5 so they did that update and the win 8.1 update. i stuck the year old 16 gig usb in and created a new recovery drive(search/system recovery/create...etc). does that sound ok? does it matter or should i go ahead and change the UEFI to CSM in case pc crashes again? i am still irritated that i don't have anything in writing on exactly what was replaced, why, and by what(refurb etc).
i was also wondering 2 things: can i delete the recovery partition on the pc as it asks after the recovery usb has been created - is there a speed benifit to it, is it on the SSD portion so it would do wonders by freeing up flash ram space?? and # 2: should i make a recovery disk for my other identical pc that since my original recovery usb i made i have used for a year and updated to win 8.1 and flashed the bios to ver 1.5 - i.e. can i create a recovery usb on a computer used for a year WITHOUT a new clean install?/
Thanks A lot!

We know our kicks here in eastern Connecticut!
These may be one of the oldest pairs of basketball sneakers in the world. The shoes were manufactured by the Colchester Rubber Company which shut down in 1893. Vintage clothing dealer Gary Pifer paid 50 cents for them at an estate sale in Vista, California. From CafeTerra:
"In a instant, I knew this discovery would be re-writing basketball and sneaker history, as these sneakers are 25 years older than the 1917 Converse All-Stars", added Pifer. The Colchester Rubber Co. was located in Colchester, Connecticut and was in business from 1888 to 1893."World's first basketball sneakers 116 years old found at an estate sale"
UPDATE: Hey, looks like this story was a marketing ploy! (Thanks, William Gibson!)

Bryant provides insider's view of game for Lee
The idea of "Kobe Doin' Work" was to document a single game played by Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant to show how the National Basketball Association's best player conducts his business of play.
What emerges is sometimes revealing and sometimes static, not unlike some NBA games.
On April 13, 2008, filmmaker Spike Lee positioned 30 cameras and multiple microphones around Staples Center, the Lakers' home court, to capture Bryant's play in a game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers won in a blowout. One of the Spurs best players, Manu Ginobli, did not play because of an injury.
The outcome of the game rested more with Bryant's teammates than with Bryant, who did not play the entire fourth quarter.
The Lakers were playing for the best record in the Western Conference, and the home-court advantage for all series against conference opponents. Bryant also was aiming for his first most valuable player award.
"Kobe Doin' Work" is a replay of that game in real time, with Bryant in voiceover explaining to Lee and to viewers what he's thinking or explaining why he's saying certain things to his teammates during the game.
The voiceover part apparently was recorded in New York just after Bryant scored 61 points against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, a building record.
The single neatest detail about Bryant's game this viewer learned from Lee's 85-minute piece concerns Bryant's hands.
Frequently during games Bryant will wipe his palms and fingers on his jersey. He wipes them not to dry them off, but to make them wet.
"The reason I do that, when you see me wipe my hands on my shirt, is because my hands are dry," Bryant says. "When your hands are dry, the ball gets slippery. You can't really feel it. So I am constantly trying to wet my hands so I can feel the texture of the ball better."
Now that's unusual.
Other than some pitchers and quarterbacks who lick the tips of their fingers, when was the last time you heard an athlete say he's looking for a wetter grip?
Always, it's precisely the opposite.
In fact, Cleveland's LeBron James with his home-game ritual of creating a resin plume right before tip-off is a testimonial for dry hands.
Another striking element of Bryant's way is how much he communicates with his teammates on the floor, during breaks on the bench and in the locker room at halftime.
You're left with the impression that Bryant does as much coaching of his teammates as Phil Jackson and his staff does.
"I didn't realize I talked that damn much," Bryant tells Lee in the first half of the replay.
There are a few more interesting inside basketball moments in "Kobe Doin' Work," but some of what Bryant says is self-evident or Basketball 101 stuff.
"When I put arc on the ball, I'm a much, much better shooter," Bryant says.
"That's one thing I hate, turnovers," he says. "I absolutely hate turnovers."
At one point, he explains what an empty possession is.
Since Bryant did not play in the fourth quarter, Lee quizzes Bryant about his record-setting performance against the Knicks.
There are artsy elements in "Kobe Doin' Work," including stutter replays of some of his best moves, and a visual shift in which game action is stopped and framed in black-and-white images.
You have the sense Lee was trying to find the music of basketball in the squeaking of the players' shoes. Bruce Hornsby's score features some jazzy keyboard work in rhythm with the edited version of the game.
"Kobe Doin' Work" airs commercial free at 7 p.m. Saturday on ESPN and ESPN HD.
Stanley has steam
Television ratings for baseball, NASCAR and the NBA playoffs are all down, but not so for the National Hockey League playoffs.
Viewership of the Stanley Cup playoffs is up 14% on NBC-TV, from 1.43 million viewers last season to 1.64 million this season, and up 29% on Versus, 459,000 to 590,000.
