Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) causes many emergency hospital admissions and 80,000 deaths annually. These statistics could be improved by better management of COPD in primary care, including better self-care, the case management of people with complex needs, and improving the interface between primary and secondary care.

Study aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing the Child Health Assessment at school entry (CHASE) questionnaire, developed to capture information about the health of children in their first year at school, and to evaluate data quality, reliability and validity. Found CHASE questionnaires to be satisfactory for parents and school nurses, and feasible to implement in schools within existing resources. The data have the potential to inform interventions at school and borough level and to reveal health trends over time.

David Widgery was a socialist GP who worked in the East End of London. For him medicine was as much about the social causes of illness as it was biological. He believed that if wealth were more evenly distributed, society and its members would be healthier. This book tackles the difficult issues surrounding doctors' roles, including whether they should ignore or embrace the social causes of illness. It uses the perspective of David Widgery's life to explore these issues, and also considers why medicine at times can be disheartening.

Nurses will be able to prescribe independently for patients with long term conditions such as asthma and diabetes, enabling patients to get faster access to medicines.

Doctors' leaders accused the Health Secretary, John Reid, of failing to understand the damage he was inflicting on the NHS after he insisted that no small GP's surgeries would be forced to close under Labour. What the Health Secretary said appeared to contradict one of his senior policy advisers this month when he outlined a model of general practice based on GPs grouping together in practices of ten or more doctors.

Alternative providers' medical services (APMS) contracts allow primary care trusts to use the voluntary sector to provide primary care services. APMS can be used to provide out-of-hours services, enhanced services, replacement additional services or a combination of any of these.

Sets out to draw together evidence on how self-care support models might be more widely transferred and used in a range of settings, including in the home, in community-based services, in the workplace, in community pharmacies, in minor injury centres, in intermediate care, in podiatry and in residential and nursing homes.

Self-management of chronic conditions in the community through the expert patient programme is a key part of New Labour's health policy agenda. Bury argues that there is no objective evidence from randomised controlled trials of the long-term effectiveness of the approach, while Pink claims that this scepticism is ill-deserved.

Guidance gives a "blueprint" for developing the role of community matrons. This is a new role which will enable nurses to give one-to-one support to the most vulnerable patients with long term conditions. It sets out how community matrons will develop a personal care plan with the patient and his/her carers, monitor his/her condition regularly through home visits or telephone calls, and work in partnership with his/her GP.

The newly published public health delivery paper sets out a plan of action for the NHS to achieve the goals set out in the 2004 White Paper. Primary care trusts now face the challenge of updating their local delivery plans (LDPs) to slot in the public health agenda. The Department of Health wants PCTs to focus initially on five key areas:

Have Better Discussions with Fewer Meetings
Calling a meeting to discuss something at work used to be the best way to get in front of the people you need to talk to. You'd send a few emails to ask them to meet, and arrange a time; or you'd go over to their desks in person. Then, you'd block off an hour to talk about the things on your list. The conversation would often get derailed onto a semi-related issue, and you'd all come out with a little less energy to face the rest of the day–and an hour behind.
Teams need to stay in touch and discuss the issues relevant to their work, without resorting to time-consuming meetings or easily-buried email threads. Flow users already know that you can create a task in our app that gives your discussion context, and then bring in the people who should be involved. The discussion can have a due date, and stakeholders can weigh in with their comments. Questions like "What do you think of my idea?" and "What should we do about that thing?" get addressed. As soon as it's created, the conversation gets placed front and centre for your team members, when they're readiest to think about it: at their desk and prepared for new work. And after the discussion, you can move on with the project or task without changing systems, letting everyone see its progress through to completion.
We've been talking to our customers about how they use Flow, and in a recent interview with Paul DeJoe, CEO of Ecquire, the topic of fewer meetings came up. His team has been using Flow for almost three years. They picked it up when the company was growing and they were finding they had many projects, ideas, and tasks to keep track of in many different places, and they needed a way to keep on top of things.
"It's reduced the need for overhead costs and interruptions for our team. It's so much easier to collaborate on ideas with the team with Flow when you can see they're centered around an objective. We've found that one call per week was sufficient. Everything else was contained in Flow."
By turning meetings into asynchronous discussions, talk stays on topic, time and energy is saved, and no one gets interrupted. One other thing Paul had to add: "We don't use email for internal conversations anymore. Flow allows us to do that."

HOME ON THE RANGE: My last will and testament
Im sorry to say you are currently looking at the final installment of Home on the Range. I hope youve enjoyed reading it as much as Ive enjoyed writing it. Thanks to you and the good folks at the Whidbey News Times, Ive become a much better cook than I was nine months ago. These recently acquired culinary skills will be crucial at my new home in Oaxaca, Mexico, since the city isnt exactly overrun with Thai or Indian restaurants, or even cafes that serve meatloaf. Yes, Im moving to Mexico, a dream come true.
Now that Ive got that out of the way, I want to as a sort of grand finale share with you my absolutely favorite Christmas dish: prime rib. Prime rib holds a special place in my heart and memory. My father used to take me to a supper club on Gull Lake in Minnesota called the Harbor Inn. It was a charming little place where waitresses with large hair and even larger earrings served twice-baked potatoes and stiff drinks, all in an atmosphere that hadnt changed a stitch since the 1960s. Watching my father slice and dunk chunks of succulent prime rib was like watching a conductor wave his wand.
Last year, I cooked my first prime rib for a house full of Christmas guests. To my relief, it turned out wonderfully, an elegant if exceptionally meaty centerpiece. Its said that the tenderest beef lies farthest from the hoof, and tender this roast was. Even the vegetarians had to give it a try.
Making a good prime rib isnt difficult, but it does take preparation. Call the grocery store or butcher ahead of time to order your roast. Have the butcher remove the chine and feather bones, then return the roast to its original shape by tying the bones to the meat. Bones add flavor, but having them trimmed away will make carving very simple. A small end prime rib is always the best. Figure on about 1 pound per dinner guest.
Okay everyone, have a great holiday and please take good care. Adios!
Prime Rib
4-12 pound prime rib roast
salt and pepper
1 bunch of fresh rosemary, chopped
Remove the roast from the refrigerator at least two hours before cooking. Place it in a shallow roasting pan and liberally sprinkle the fatty top with salt and pepper and chopped rosemary. Pat in. To protect the oven from spattering fat, place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over the top of the meat.
Place the roast in an oven preheated to 500 degrees and cook for the times listed below.
NOTE: The times must be adhered to exactly. Set a timer, as a few minutes of overcooking will ruin the roast. When the cooking time ends, turn off the oven but do not open the door. Allow the roast to remain in the oven for at least 1 hour or until the oven is luke warm, which occurs in about 2 hours. The roast will be beautifully rare inside, while retaining a crunchy outside and also an internal temperature suitable for serving. The roasting time works out to about 15 minutes per rib or approximately 5 minutes per pound.
l For a 2-rib roast weighing 4 to 5 pounds, allow 25 to 30 minutes at 500 degrees.
l For a 3-rib roast weighing 8 to 9 pounds, allow 40 to 45 minutes at 500 degrees.
l For a 4-rib roast weighing 11 to 12 pounds, allow 55 to 60 minutes at 500 degrees.
To carve, cut the ties holding the bones in place and set them aside. Place the roast with the ribs down on a cutting board and cut into thick or thin slices. Serve with horseradish sauce.
Bleu Cheese Twice-Baked Potatoes
4 medium Idaho potatoes, scrubbed and patted dry
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large cloves garlic, very finely minced
1/2-cup sour cream
2 ounces mild blue cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Paprika, to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prick the potatoes all over with the tines of a fork, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 1/4-hours. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the garlic, and cook over very low heat for 1 1/2-minutes; do not let it brown. Set it aside.
Remove the potatoes but leave the oven on. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Then cut a length-wise slit in the top of each potato and carefully remove the pulp, leaving the skin intact. Place the pulp in a mixing bowl, and set the skins aside.
Mash the potatoes with a fork. Add the garlic butter, sour cream, cheese, parsley, 1 tablespoon chives, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, and then carefully stuff the mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the top lightly with paprika.
Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons chives and serve immediately.
Note: If youre serving these with the prime rib, prepare the potatoes ahead of time and bake the final 15 minutes after pulling the prime rib from the oven.

Saunders Is Madison Principal
Walter Saunders, principal of Triadelphia Middle School, will take over as principal at Madison Elementary School for the 2013-14 year, replacing longtime educator Nikki Kacmarik, who will retire at the end of this school year.
The Ohio County Board of Education approved Saunders' hiring at its Monday board meeting at Ritchie Elementary School.
"Mr. Saunders is an experienced and dedicated administrator who is committed to excellence in education," Superintendent Dianna Vargo said. "He's been a valued asset as a teacher and principal, and he will do an extraordinary job in inspiring the students at Madison Elementary School."
Saunders began teaching at Ohio County Schools in 1996 as a math teacher at Madison and West Liberty Elementary schools and became a math teacher at Wheeling Park High School in 2003. He was named assistant principal of Warwood School in 2006 and has served as principal of Triadelphia Middle School since 2009.
"I'm very excited," Saunders said. "Teaching in high school, I got to see the end product of teaching at a younger age. Going to the younger age, and I think the research backs me up, you have a better opportunity to make a change in the life of that student. I'm looking forward to Madison. What a great opportunity to walk into a school that is thriving."
In other business, the board approved hiring Over & Under Construction of Martins Ferry for a $42,050 concrete improvement project at Wheeling Park High School, Bridge Street Middle School and the Ohio County Schools Operations Center. According to Vargo, Over & Under Construction offered the lowest bid. Other bidders included Savage Construction Co. of Wheeling at $43,000, Walters Construction Inc. of Wheeling at $49,800, Grae-Con Construction of Steubenville at $68,951 and Bridgeport Home Builders of Bridgeport at $53,260. She said the work will include replacing several concrete steps at the schools and improving areas in the garage at the operations center.
The board also approved the suspension without pay of teacher Leslie Campbell for 38 working days. It took effect April 9. Vargo declined to comment on the suspension, saying she would not speak about a personnel matter.

Four paintings in the series of self-portraits depicting June's journey through the stages of breast cancer:
This painting (and the three others that make up this series) represesent a personal journey relating to a recent series of events. Essentially, the journey begins with my ancestors and the tohu or marks made by them. The prized huia feather relates to values or precious things and the manaia figure is the guardian.
Te Arawa, Tūwharetoa, Tuhourangi-Ngāti Wahiao
(1949- )
June graduated from the Waiariki Polytechnic in Rotorua with a Diploma of Craft Design in 1989. Inspired by her ancestors and their art, she continues the tradition for the future generations of her family. Her work is often interwoven with powerful figures and stories from her tribal histories. She says, "Each time I paint the story of one amazing tupuna (ancestor), another comes to light with yet another fascinating contribution to the histories of the tribe."

Discussion in 'General Gun Discussions' started by Rembrandt, Sep 5, 2003.
If you cashed in your guns.....what kind of car could you buy? New? Used? or Clunker?....
IF????? ........ Rather sell my wife first!! (OK honey - that was a joke <whack> ....... ouch!)
But ........ hmmm ......... something 2 yr old!!!
Greeting's All-
Well, its like this-
The "farm" would be sold before the gun's
Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member
Cashed them in?? I don't quite understand this concept.
And for a car?? Puleeeese!
...just saw a guy sell his collection to a local sporting goods store....$125,000.....don't think mine would bring anything near that.
I'd sell the house first.
If" you cashed them in......
The concept is foreign to me.
Might sell one if needed nuther car.
But only a duplicate.
Hmmm, that's a new one. I've never considered selling guns to get cars but have considered selling cars to get guns.
Ain't gonna happen...
I'd walk first.
In US dollars and laws? You tell me. Got a 1903A4 sans original scope, an M-14 semi, a Garand with a NM op rod, a Long Branch No 4 Mk I* Lee-Enfield(tolerable condition), a No 1 Mk II in great condition, a Plainfield M-1 Carbine(mint), a mint Browning Inglis High Power with a .41AE barrel and brass. Most of the bayonets for the No 4. A nearly mint bayonet for the No 1 Lee-Enfield. Two bayonets for the Garand, one like new. A couple mint action covers for Lee-Enfields. A real BAR mag belt. Et Al.
Needless to say I didn't get any of this stuff recently. Some of it is worth the kind of money Stateside collectors will pay. Most is just stuff I've gathered over the years.
Guns are the last thing to go.
Car goes before the guns.
Selling guns, which I consider to be as much of an investment as a hobby, to finance the purchase of a car, would be a shame.
I used to be into the new shiny car obsession, thank goodnes I outgrew that (at a relatively young age).. I bought my last truck a few years ago, and figure I'll keep it for the next 15 years or so
Funny thing about cars, they loose value faster than a fistfull of enron stock. Better to leave your kids a safe full of quality firearms than a shoebox full of pictures of cars
if it came to hwere i would have to sell my guns for a car. i would be up a creek without a paddle, because i wold only be able to afford an R/C car from radio shack. so i wold have no transpotation and no means for persoanl defense
I'd probably sell one of my cars first.
Each time I make a car payment on my cadillac sts, i think, I could have bought a Glock with that. Not that I'd need or want 60 glocks over 5 years, (one is fine with me) but I try to think of every purchase in relation to gun and shooting related component purchases, and I get depressed.
I can't possibly see cashing in all the guns and buying a car, I consider the number of guns i have to be considerable, but I realize you rarely get what you paid for them, or what you put into them. I would estimate I'd get anywhere from 15-20thousand for them all, and what would that buy me in terms of a car? Nothing I want.
I'd prefer to wait for the super low financing loans that were around a couple of years ago, anywhere from 0% to 3.9% sounds a lot better to me than cashing in all my toys.
If I cashed them all in, I'd have a car which I could drive to the gun range, and nothing to shoot when I got there.
Value of quality firearms slowly climb after a average 5 year period. This is adjusted higher and at a shorter time period if the firearm remains unfired.
Value of a vehicle drops approximately 5% the moment you take possesion of it. This depreciation continues at varying rates no matter the usage till the vehicle reaches 20 years of age.
Why trade a growing investment with a lifespan that surpasses you to purchase one with a relatively short lifespan that on the average loses money?
What Majic says. Value of guns are pretty steady. A car once off the showroom floor drops $3k in value.
Probably get a Honda Pirate and send it off to Ibistek.
Let's see:
Charter arms .22 revolver: About 50 dollars, very old, almost no rifling.
Unknown brand .32 short revolver, maybe 150 dollars.
Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, completely matched serial numbers plus sling: Perhaps 100 dollars
Walther P99, fairly new, only about 2k rounds, about 400 dollars.
Ruger 10/22 scoped, hardly used, let's say 250 dollars.
Anschutz 1903 left-handed with sights and assorted paraphernelia, about 1500 dollars.
Uberti/Navy Arms special edition Deluxe .45/70 SS reciever creedmore sight rolling block: 400 dollars, or thereabouts.
That makes what? 2850 dollars? Perhaps a really old Yugo or somesuch.
Separate names with a comma.

PICTOU ŌĆō County councillor Robert Parker said things have gotten off to a bad start in regards to local municipal units working together for change.
Municipality of Pictou County
The long-time councillor said he was disappointed and shocked to hear through the media that the county had agreed to begin discussions on a possible memorandum of understanding in regards to a regional delivery of services and governance between Pictou, New Glasgow and the Municipality of Pictou County.
ŌĆ£To not know anything about something and then to have it announced by a mayor of one of our municipalities to me was way pre-mature and makes it that much more difficult to reach an agreement on things,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I think it was terribly wrong and an abuse of councillors here the way it was done. There was some wrong done somewhere and when you do things in that way, you make it much more difficult to bring people together. There were towns left out, there were assumptions made that we had come to agreements.ŌĆØ
Once a memorandum of understanding is developed, the Town of New Glasgow said it will share it with Westville, Stellarton and Trenton and give them a short period of time to decide if they want on board.
Mayor Barrie MacMillan said during the press conference that he expects the MOU to be signed by June and the governance and operations of the county to look different in a yearŌĆÖs time.
Parker said all municipal units should have been invited to be part of the March 28 conference and all municipal councilors should have been informed before hand that such an announcement was taking place.
ŌĆ£I guess if you are going to ask your girlfriend or boyfriend to marry you, donŌĆÖt put it in the paper first. Make sure you ask first. As far as I am concerned, we werenŌĆÖt asked,ŌĆØ he said.
On Tuesday, Deputy Warden Andy Thompson said he was invited to the press conference at New Glasgow town council chambers on March 28, but he didnŌĆÖt know the full extent of the announcement.
He said the announcement was the Town of New GlasgowŌĆÖs reaction to the provincial government pulling its funding from proposed governance study and he added there had been discussions between New Glasgow, Pictou and the county in past about regional services.
Thompson added the three CAOs from the municipalities at the March 28 announcement will go over the information needed to put a proposal in place.
ŌĆ£We (the county) wanted the study and now we are forced to do it by ourselves.
Parker said it is critical that the ŌĆ£elected peopleŌĆØ be involved in any discussions or decision-making rather than letting ŌĆ£unelectedŌĆØ people determine the future of the county.
ŌĆ£If other people want to make the decisions than they should run for office,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The worst thing we can do here is have a group in this make decisions for the future of the county that are the unelected.ŌĆØ
Parker said he agrees with New Glasgow Mayor Barrie MacMillan in regard that things must be done in the best interest of the taxpayers, but he said many issues such as the debt, taxes and services need to be addressed before any kind of a formal agreement is signed.
ŌĆ£The county area, rural Pictou County, cannot be expected to shoulder the debt, or take on a whole lot of extra taxes to help out somewhere else unless they are going to get some services for that extra money and I don't see any sign of the services,ŌĆØ he said.
Coun. David Parker agreed with his brother and fellow councillor by saying it is unrealistic for the Town of New Glasgow to announce that a memorandum of understanding could be signed by June between local municipal units.
ŌĆ£There are significant issues that will take some real time to get some information on and realize how that might work and if there is a will there to do that,ŌĆØ he said.
He said each municipal unit has ŌĆ£enormous level of differencesŌĆØ in regards to issues that need to be worked through and the tax rate is the biggest one of all.
ŌĆ£Unless there are some real savings to be had, why would we do it?ŌĆØ he asked.
Coun. Leonard Fraser echoed his fellow councilors comments saying that people in Pictou County are scared of amalgamation because they donŌĆÖt have all the answers.
ŌĆ£If we went in and amalgamated this county, some peopleŌĆÖs tax rates would double. Maybe not this year or next year, but within 10 years it would double,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ I remember Coun. (Ed) MacMaster saying there is a lot of old people out there that canŌĆÖt afford their taxes now so just imagine if their taxes double. Where do they go? They are on a fixed income.ŌĆØ
After discussing the issue many times during this 32 years on council, Fraser said he knows his constituents still don't look favorably upon amalgamation
ŌĆ£So whatever is done has to be done delicately and it will look after the residents because we donŌĆÖt even know how the council district will be broke up. There are lots of questions without answers and it scares the hell out of the people out in the country,ŌĆØ he said.
Robert Parker added that in spite of the concerns expressed during the meeting, he wanted it made clear that the county isnŌĆÖt against change.
ŌĆ£I just wanted to state as much as I was shocked and surprised by the announcement by the Town of New Glasgow, I think there was strategy here and I think we have to be careful,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆØThe strategy was to get out in front and announce that something had happened or that it was going to happen and anyone who comes in after that says, ŌĆśwait now, we are arenŌĆÖt part of thisŌĆÖ, is seen to be the ones with their heads in the sand, protecting their own turf.ŌĆØ
He said he is pleased to see that it is taking a stand by leading the way to change.
ŌĆ£We are going to lead this process and not follow it and we are going to do it with elected people, not unelected people,ŌĆØ he said.

My daughter gave us a squirrel-proof feeder for Christmas that really works (see blog entry at www.jimmortensen.com) but I felt sorry for the squirrels so put up another one especially for them. They are using it a lot much to the squirrel-watching enjoyment of our cats.

Body Panic
Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness
Publication Year: 2009
Are you ripped? Do you need to work on your abs? Do you know your ideal body weight? Your body fat index? Increasingly, Americans are being sold on a fitness ideal not just thin but toned, not just muscular but cut that is harder and harder to reach. In Body Panic, Shari L. Dworkin and Faye Linda Wachs ask why. How did these particular body types come to be "fit"? And how is it that having an unfit, or "bad," body gets conflated with being an unfit, or "bad," citizen?
Dworkin and Wachs head to the newsstand for this study, examining ten years worth of men's and women's health and fitness magazines to determine the ways in which bodies are "made" in today's culture. They dissect the images, the workouts, and the ideology being sold, as well as the contemporary links among health, morality, citizenship, and identity that can be read on these pages. While women and body image are often studied together, Body Panic considers both women's and men's bodies side-by-side and over time in order to offer a more in-depth understanding of this pervasive cultural trend.

Red Wings general manager Ken Holland revealed Aug. 6 that Chelios would join the organization in some capacity -- doing some scouting, working in player development with the Grand Rapids Griffins and acting as an ambassador while learning the business side of hockey.
More specifics on Chelios' role and title will be revealed Tuesday.
Chelios, 48, played nine-plus seasons with the Red Wings. He spent most of last season with the AHL Chicago Wolves and played seven games with the Atlanta Thrashers.
"I told him if he wanted to get involved in the front office, if he's looking to learn the business, we'd have a spot for him and evolve his role,'' Holland said Aug. 6. "Players that have been here a long time and been a part of us being successful, if I got a job open, I'd prefer to have one of our former players who helped us win get it rather than going outside the organization.''

Ethics above issues
With the season of political campaigns upon us, I wanted to take a moment to tell you why I think Vermont is so very special and why I will support at least one local candidate, Kristin Sohlstrom, for the Vermont House. I have seen one thing that distinguishes Vermont from the other states. It has been my lifelong experience that Vermont voters judge candidates on their character, intelligence, integrity and work ethic. We generally do not support only those candidates who agree with us on some hot-button issue. Party-line voters in other states would be appalled that many Democrats support the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, and that it is not uncommon to see a candidate nominated by both parties.
We seem to understand that good people will make good laws, and that politicians who will say whatever you want to hear will probably vote according to the latest polls and campaign contributions. Thats why I will vote for Kristin Sohlstrom for the Vermont House of Representatives, even if we disagree on some issues.

DeKalb, Ill.-Northern Illinois University is celebrating the launch of two highly specialized laboratories that will keep faculty and students alike on the cutting-edge of research into nanotechnology and scientific computer modeling at the molecular scale.
The university was awarded a federal grant of $2 million to establish the Laboratory for NanoScience, Engineering and Technology, and another federal grant of $500,000 to create the Laboratory for Structural Analysis and Computer Modeling.
"We need to express our deep gratitude to U.S. Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert, who worked on behalf of these proposals and has been a continued supporter of our scientists, students and mission to serve the region," NIU President John Peters said.
Peters announced the creation of the two high-tech laboratories, both housed primarily within physics and chemistry facilities in Faraday Hall and Faraday West, during Thursday's State of the University address. Both laboratories are already operating.
"The NanoScience lab puts NIU on the cutting-edge of research into what many believe will spur the next technological revolution," Peters said.
Distinguished Research Professor Clyde Kimball in the Department of Physics will direct the NanoScience lab. Nanotechnology aims to build electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules. Creation of nano-scale mechanisms and machines could revolutionize numerous industries, from computing to medicine to manufacturing. NIU scientists and students in physics and engineering will use the lab to explore the vast frontier of the quantum, or subatomic, world.
"The basic idea of nanotechnology is to attempt to continue the Silicon Revolution of the 20th century by creating scientific techniques and materials which will enable further miniaturization of electronic and magnetic devices," Kimball said. "The current techniques used to create silicon devices have about reached their limits in terms of miniaturization. New tools and new materials will be needed, and it's not clear that silicon will be the material of choice in the nano-world."
Materials often behave differently when reduced in size to the nano-scale, where the rules of classical physics don't apply, Kimball added. "There exists very little intuition or experience for predicting behavior of these materials because we're now in the quantum realm. It's a whole new wonderful world.
"NIU now will have a strong theoretical program in the simulation of behavior at the nano-scale," Kimball added.
"That's going to be one of the strengths of this program."
Kimball said NIU physicists, engineers and students also will work to develop the next generation of new materials and applications for nanotechnology. The laboratory will collaborate with engineering's Microfabrication Research and Development Laboratory-a "clean-room" facility for creating semiconductor and magnetic devices. Kimball's NanoScience lab also will work with Argonne National Laboratory, which has extensive nanotechnology facilities.
NIU is purchasing several new pieces of high tech equipment for the lab including:
Meanwhile, the Laboratory for Structural Analysis and Computer Modeling is operated by the NIU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The lab's high-tech instrumentation gives scientists new insight into how materials such as protein molecules and nanotechnology devices are constructed at the molecular level.
"While the lab is a boon to faculty researchers on campus, our students also are big winners," Peters said.
"They are now learning how to use the most advanced analysis and computer-modeling tools in the nation."
"We're really excited about the new laboratory," added Biochemistry and Chemistry Chair Jim Erman. "It will enhance our department's ability to provide high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in chemistry. And since our faculty members often serve as consultants to business, this also holds the potential to help private industry in our region and beyond."
The laboratory boasts scientific instrumentation necessary for comprehensive structural characterization of a wide range of materials, including large biological molecules, new synthetic compounds, solid-state materials and small devices used in nanotechnology. The computer-modeling component of the laboratory will augment structural analysis by using computational methods to investigate the theoretical basis for chemical and physical properties of materials.
New laboratory equipment includes:

Google told a press conference in Des Moines, US, that it is stretching its investment in the state of Iowa to US$1.1bn, with plans to double the space of a US$300m data center it is building there with a US$200m investment.
According to a report by the Des Moines Register today, Google said this most recent expansion, unlike its $300m expansion announced in April, will not receive state tax credits.
The state exempts property tax on computers, servers, cooling racks and other equipment inside the data center and in some cases sales tax on power using legislation brought in to attract large data center investment.
Google opened its first US$600m data center at the Council Bluffs site in 2009, and this second facility sits just south of the original facility.
Google said construction is already underway on the expansion.
It is not the only announcement Google made regarding its operations in Iowa last week.
It announced the purchase of US$75m equity in a wind farm operating in Iowa which produces energy that is sold to the Central Iowa Power Cooperative, a collective provider of energy to more than half of the state's counties.
"Money for this investment comes out of the Google Inc. treasury," a Google spokesperson wrote in an email to regarding the Rippey wind-power project. "You can think of it as a way to diversify our cash holdings while investing in an area that we think is important to support."
In 2010, Google signed a 20-year power purchase agreement to buy all energy generated by a 114MW wind farm in Stony County, Iowa. The company sells energy from the NextEra Energy Resources Story County II farm into the grid, but strips green credits from it, applying them to energy it buys to power its data center.
Google has a similar arrangement in Oklahoma, where it contracts for about 100MW of wind power and where it also has a large data center.
Iowa state economic development leader Debi Durham said overall, Iowa has seen projects totalling US$5.2bn in in the last two years.
On Friday, FOCUS reported that the state is currently in talks with another data center operator regarding the construction of a potential US$1.5bn data center construction project.
Officials of the City of Altoona (just outside of Des Moines) discussed infrastructure, development agreement and contracts with representatives of the company looking to build a project that will bring a major economic-development boost to any location it will be built in.
Altoona city administrator Jeff Mark said the project was close to the point when the company's name would be revealed.

After a decade of painful decline that nearly resulted in their demise, Michigan's automakers are on a roll.
In an otherwise sluggish economy, the Detroit Three automakers are churning out vehicles and profits at the highest levels since the late 1990s.
Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. each have gained U.S. market share against foreign competitors for the first time since 1988.
The resurgent automakers are expected to hire 30,000 workers over the next three years, according to the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor.
But even though the auto industry is about the best thing going in the troubled U.S. economy, the domestic automakers are getting no respect from Wall Street.
Global concerns
Ford's stock, trading around $11 a share, is down about 40 percent from its 52-week high of $18.97. Even Ford's recent decision to reinstate the dividend after five years didn't goose the stock price.
General Motors' stock has been languishing around $20 a share, far below the $33 the stock opened at when GM launched its initial public offering in November of 2010.
Chrysler, which is partially owned by Italian automaker Fiat, has yet to issue a stock offering since its 2009 government-financed bankruptcy reorganization.
In part, the automakers' low share prices reflect a stock market that is fixated on global worries, including the European debt crisis, slowing growth in China and political discord in the United States.
"This is a market that's looking for excuses not to rally," said Mitch Stapley, chief fixed income investment officer at Fifth Third Bankcorp in Grand Rapids.
But Stapley and others say investors also have specific concerns about the future performance of Ford and GM.
Investors likely will continue to discount GM's stock as long as it is partly owned by the U.S. government. Taxpayers hold a 26.2 percent ownership share of the company as a result of GM's 2009 federal bailout.
"It's not a purely clean ownership structure," Stapley said.
GM's stock price would need to hit $54 a share for the federal government to avoid a loss on its holdings, said Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research.
Skepticism remains
McAlinden is forecasting U.S. industry sales of 13.8 million cars and trucks next year and 14.1 million in 2013.
But he said some Wall Street analysts are skeptical that the vehicle market will recover, and that is putting pressure on automakers' stock prices.
GM and Ford also have significant operations in Europe that are vulnerable in the region's economic crisis.
McAlinden said investors also are worried about GM's unfunded pension liability. The automaker reported that liability at $8.3 billion in September, but McAlinden said that number could be too low.
But he and Stapley say they are surprised investors aren't rewarding Ford for its strong financial and sales performance.
Ford was the only U.S. automaker to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Recession and earned $6.6 billion in the first nine months of this year.
"Ford should be one of the feel-good stories out there," Stapley said.
"But I think it's getting painted with the broad bush of (concerns about) the industry."
The only way for Detroit's automakers to make Wall Street feel good about them is to continually improve their performance in a hypercompetitive, global industry.

By Jon Tollefson, Department of Entomology
As technology traits in corn seed increase seed prices and the price received per bushel increases, it is wise to consider black cutworm management in corn. Many areas of Iowa were cool and wet last spring, 2008. That weather often delayed planting and created flooded areas that had to be replanted. These conditions may have caused black cutworms to be more common than usual.
Producers this spring must consider the economics — higher seed corn prices and high grain prices, and the environmental factors — recent rains that may delay some planting and the presence of winter annual weeds, when deciding how to manage black cutworm.
Some producers are asking, "Should I add insecticide to my herbicide to attempt to prevent an infestation, or should I spend time scouting the corn fields and treat only those that have the insect? I am applying the herbicide so there is no additional application cost and saving one bushel of corn is likely to pay for the insecticide."
A sound premise of pest management is to purchase and apply controls only when necessary. Preventive treatments are generally not warranted unless there is reason, usually from past experience that the pest is likely to be present and there are no curative controls available.
A black cutworm larvae on soil.
With the black cutworm, however, the infestations are sporadic and uncertain. Also there are sampling techniques for the larva, treatment thresholds, and therapeutic control options for this pest. With the therapeutic management options it would make more sense to watch for cutworm infestations and apply insecticides when they are present.
An example, you are planting 1,000 acres of corn and, based on past experience, it is probable that you will have 10 percent infested with cutworms. If you purchase insecticide at $4 per acre and treat all of the fields, the cost would be $4000. If you scouted the fields and treated the 10 percent infested, assuming there is a treatment cost for the insecticide and its application of $12 per acre, the cost to you would be only $1200. But the catch is you must scout all those fields carefully to find the cutworms before economic losses occur.
Scouting for black cutworm
To reduce scouting time and costs, first scout the fields that are most likely to have cutworms. These fields are generally:
• Low lying fields that are poorly drained
• Located near natural vegetation areas, such as streams
• Weedy fields, especially winter annual weeds present
• Reduced tillage
• Planted late
• Soybeans the previous year's crop
• A history of cutworm infestations
Can you picture this field in your mind? A low-lying field; could be in the flood plain of a stream or river. It is poorly drained so it takes time in the spring to dry and consequently is planted later. With the soybeans there the previous year there was no fall tillage. Now there is a good crop of winter annuals present that are getting ready to flower. If you have cutworm infestations, it is frequently in those types of fields.
Where should you start your scouting to detect cutworms? Wouldn't these be the fields? Don't forget to check the rest of the fields if you find infestations in the "sentinel" fields.
The economic threshold for black cutworms is:
• When larvae average less than ¾ inch in length, an insecticide should be considered if 2 or 3 percent of the plants are wilted or cut;
• If cutworms are longer, treatment should be applied if 5 percent of the plants are cut.
If the field has a poor plant population, (20,000 or less) these thresholds should be lowered.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
After watching the New York Knicks mow down the Boston Celtics 100-85 at TD Garden on Tuesday night, it was painfully obvious what transpired for the beleaguered home team: No KG, no fun.
No chance, either.
We've been told Kevin Garnett will be gone for the next two weeks because of an injury to his ankle — or his foot. If it sounds murky, that's because it is.
ESPN Boston: Boston Celtics can't compete without Kevin Garnett's fire
Lets face it, lets all get out of our imaginary land and back into reality land. This is not 2009 where the Celtics can still have a legitimate chance at making a run despite losing Kevin Garnett for the season due to knee injury. This isn't 2010 where despite losing Kendrick Perkins in Game 5, they still had a chance. This is 2013 now, Kevin Garnett is hurt, and without him the Celtics don't have a chance. It is really that simple.
All season long we have been stressing the statistics that when Kevin Garnett leaves the floor, the Celtics struggle, mightily. He has been their backbone, their messiah, and their Achilles heel all in one mainly for the fact that he has covered up some of the major flaws in this team by playing as well as he has. But now without him, its painfully clear that this team just has too many open wounds to avoid serious implications. They don't have a Center, they don't have a true power forward except for the few games that Wilcox decides to show up for (yes I know I'm specifically ignoring Bass, what a waste he's been) and overall their depth is scary. Without Garnett, these flaws rise to the surface, as they did last night against the Knicks.
When Kevin Garnett's career is all said and done, I truly hope that fans appreciate just how great he was in his time here. I don't toss the word "great" around as freely as some people may, but Garnett is truly deserving of the title. He has carried this entire franchise on his back for a significant amount of time, but never has it been more evident than this year. The injury news coming from the Celtics, as the quote above mentions, is murky at best. It sounds eerily familiar to the lies thrown at us during his knee saga. Remember the "He'll be back first round" "He'll be back if there is a Game 7" "He'll be back by Game 5" and then after the season we get "He was never going to be ready to come back". That is what this feels like all over again….
The Celtics need Kevin Garnett, plain and simple. He is their vocal leader, their lead by example leader, their "hop on my back" leader or whatever else you want to call it. Lebron James may win the MVP just because of this whole winning streak crap, he's putting up gaudy numbers (mostly at the free throw line hmm) but I think that the MVP award should be reconsidered and not just handed to the best player on the best team. Take James away from the Heat and you have a playoff team. But take Garnett away from the Celtics and look at the fiasco we have here. Does that not define most VALUABLE player to his team? A playoff team goes to a lottery team without their star ? Ask yourselves this as you go into war within your cubicles today…what team has a more significant dropoff without their star at the helm the Heat without James or the Celtics without Garnett. Once you find your answer, please make sure to write your local senator.

The number of facilities served by rail in the oil patch in western North Dakota is on the rise.
Amy McBeth, BNSF regional public relations director in Minneapolis, said crude unit train facilities are served by BNSF at the following stations: Stanley, Tioga, Dore, Eland, Epping, Trenton, Republic and Manitou.
"They are all operational. Fryburg and Berthold are not fully operational yet, but should be before the end of 2012," McBeth said. She said these are not BNSF owned or operated facilities. They are facilities that BNSF Railway serves, meaning BNSF is shipping the crude by train for customers.
Article Photos
Submitted Photo • This July 24 photo provided by Enbridge Pipelines (North Dakota), shows the steel rail ties being placed on the Phase 1 track which will be used to load oil directly from truck to rail car only for a six-month period until Phase 2 (pipe to rail car) is complete.
Submitted Photo • This photo, provided by Enbridge Pipelines (North Dakota), is an aerial view taken July 24 of the Berthold Rail Facility. Katie Haarsager, community relations adviser for Enbridge Pipelines (ND) in Minot, said the photo shows the double loop track which will be able to hold two 118-car unit trains.
Submitted Photo • This July 24 photo, provided by Enbridge Pipelines (North Dakota), shows some of the very busy construction work taking place at Enbridge's Berthold Station.
Katie Haarsager, community relations adviser with Enbridge Pipelines (North Dakota) LLC in Minot, said the Enbridge Pipelines (ND) was scheduled for its first delivery of train cars on Sept. 7 to the Berthold Rail Project. The first delivery of crude will go out of that facility by early in the following week. As Phase 1 goes into service, they will be delivering one unit train per week until Phase 2 is complete in 2013, Haarsager said.
The rail project is part of Enbridge Pipelines (ND)'s Berthold Station Expansion Project.
Haarsager said Enbridge's rail facility is located south of the Berthold Station. The rail facility located north of U.S. Highway 2 is not affiliated with Enbridge and is being run and operated by Sand Source Services.
Andy Cummings, with media relations for Canadian Pacific Railway in Minneapolis, said a rail-loading facility near Van Hook now is up and running.
That facility is just east of New Town and was built on CP property by a private company.
New Town also has a rail-loading facility that CP serves.
CP has up to 40 rail-loading facilities across its network in the U.S. and Canada. The number includes a rail-loading facility in Estevan, Sask., that opened a few months ago. Bakken oil from Saskatchewan moves through the U.S. Midwest, including North Dakota, U.S. West Coast and eastern Canada to reach refineries in Canada and United States.
In July, Smart Sand, a provider of proppant and related logistics services to the oil and gas industry in North America, and CP announced a partnership to supply high-quality frack sand to major U.S. markets by rail.
Their plans are to build a new frack sand transload facility that is expected to be the region's largest to serve the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin.
The announcement said the frack sand transload facility will be built at Makoti and would begin serving the Bakken in early 2013.
Unrelated to BNSF trains hauling crude, BNSF has intermodal facilities across its network, McBeth said.
"The vast majority of these facilities are owned and operated by BNSF. Minot is one of the exceptions," she said.
"Intermodal transportation is the transport of truck trailers or containers by rail. These facilities are where the containers or trailers are loaded on rail and unloaded. We partner with ocean carriers and trucking companies to provide a key part of the supply chain," McBeth said.
"BNSF delivers a wide variety of consumer goods in the U.S. through our intermodal facilities. This includes many items purchased in retail stores and restaurants," she added.

The New Orleans Saints Sunday road loss to the St. Louis Rams was a catastrophe for the Saints in a number of ways. The loss makes this Sunday's road trip to Carolina a must-win situation.
And in case you hadn't noticed, a must-win road game is an enormous problem for the Saints this season.
The one thing Saints fans can be thankful for after Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Rams is that they can take perverse delight in the latest Dallas Cowboys implosion.
Anyway, take a look at what some Saints fans are posting to social platforms this morning.

RK Motors Auction Coming To Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.c. – RK Motors Collector Car Auctions (RKMCCA) is bringing its unique brand of automotive auction experience to the world-class Charlotte Convention Center, in Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 1-3, 2013.
Situated in the one of the country's most automotive-minded regions, and adjacent to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the three-day RKMCCA auction will be the first-ever automotive auction for the facility, as well as the debut of RKMCCA unique benefits, such as on-site experts and a referral program.
With more than 500 world-class hand-selected automobiles expected to cross the stage and an exclusive panel of experts on-site to counsel buyers and sellers, RKMCCA is creating the same concierge-level environment that worldwide customers already enjoy at its sister company RK Motors Charlotte, the nation's leading retailer of investment-grade classic and high-performance cars and the top automotive destination in the country, according to Hot Rod Magazine.
"Our auction team brings the same passion for accuracy, transparency and building trust that has been the hallmark of our success at RK Motors," said Rob Kauffman, owner and chairman of his three namesake companies. "In addition to celebrating and preserving the finest collector cars from around the world, our mission is to provide an open and fair marketplace at every RKMCCA auction."
Verifying the automobile's provenance and technical correctness is one critical element of achieving that mission, and RKMCCA's on-site expert panel, along with other partnerships, will play an important role in ensuring consigned vehicles are accurately represented.
Panel members include some of the world's leading collector car experts, such as award-winning Corvette specialist Kevin Mackay, a 27-year veteran of Corvette restoration and repair and a top Corvette Concours judge, including a quarter century as NCRS Master Judge and Bloomington Gold Benchmark Judge.
Other expert panel members include a who's who of muscle, performance, race and classic automobiles, including Bob Perkins (Mustang); Rick McLaughlin (Pontiac Trans Am); Mike Haluska (Restoration/Modification/Engineering) as well as other technical and market value specialists for the collector car category's most coveted brands.
"Classic car enthusiasts can look forward to an action-packed three days in Charlotte, with a wealth of entertainment choices for the whole family," said Bill Mathews, VP of Auctions, RKMCCA. "For the serious collector, we will also be announcing some very high-profile and rare automobiles over the coming weeks, and we expect an active and successful weekend for the collector car community."

Coyote on a Fence" is serious, substantial drama, leavened with gallows humor, persuasively and powerfully acted and staged with an intensity that matches its subject: the death penalty, seen from a multiplicity of viewpoints. This is a play and a production that holds you riveted from start to finish, for 95 intermissionless minutes. It's a spellbinder.
Bruce Graham's provocative drama is set largely on death row at a Southern prison. Its primary focus is two prisoners in adjacent cells. One is John Brennan, an educated, intelligent, arrogant man who is editor of the prison newspaper, which has brought him media attention. One thinks immediately of Wilbert Rideau, but the resemblance ends at the typewriter. Brennan will not take responsibility for his crime. He insists he is innocent and concerned only with his journalism, particularly obituaries of executed inmates, with which he hopes to return a measure of humanity to those "demonized" by a society that chooses those who will die by "legalized murder."
Brennan's new neighbor in the cell-next-door is Bobby Reyburn, cannily introduced by the playwright as a goofy good ol' boy, a talkative rube who does animal imitations. The audience warms to his childlike demeanor, until he starts shouting virulent racial epithets in robotic rants. He is guilty of a heinous hate crime and has been in lockdown for six years. Reyburn very much craves human communication, but Brennan will speak to him only if he knocks off his bigoted babble.
A strange friendship develops, dramatized incrementally: Brennan tutoring Reyburn in how to write a letter of complaint about prison food; Reyburn's cheerfully ignorant acceptance of his fate, while Brennan fights tooth and nail against his; Brennan's realization that Reyburn is much more a victim of circumstance than Brennan imagines himself to be. Reyburn is a textbook example of legal insanity, failed by the system and his own unwillingness and inability to play a role, as Brennan has. Yet Reyburn's crazy honesty makes Brennan confront his own self-deception in a way he never has before.
And this barely scratches the surface of issues the play addresses: the inmate-media game of who's exploiting whom; prisons as economic stimulus; death row guards who must callous themselves to the point of brutality to do their jobs. There are no heroes here.
Director Ashley Ricord has skillfully illuminated the emotions of the play as fluidly as Scratch Buckley's lighting shifts our attention from one area of the stage to another. Ricord and her actors serve the play's uncompromisingly gritty dialogue (which may be offensive to some) and vignette-ish construction, puzzle pieces that coalesce into a shattering whole.
Michael Aaron Santos is on the young side for the middle-aged Brennan. A scraggly beard and glasses help; gauche graying of hair does not. But we are swept up in the passion, pain and reality of his performance, railing against injustice even as he evades accountability for his own actions.
Jason Kirkpatrick's Reyburn is a daring interpretation of mental and physical impairment with hints of the person he might have been. He is a child in a big man's body, his racial tirades those of a programmed automaton. There is a delicacy in the way he uses his hands, and as he labors over his letter, he sprawls in his bunk like a teenager doing homework and at one point poses like an odalisque.
Kris LaMorte gives a carefully measured portrayal of a New York Times writer with his own agenda, who seeks out Brennan, but refuses to help Reyburn, curtly saying, "Sorry, John; wrong cause."
Angie Joachim is superb as a tough, self-loathing prison guard who spills her guts to an unseen reporter over too many beers. Joachim displays depth and complexity in a character role that requires her to anchor the play and engage in an ugly skirmish with Santos that is convincingly violent.
Depicting four locations, one intersecting the audience, the multilevel set -- designed by Santos -- has a sketchy authenticity, apart from twin gleaming white toilets in dire need of grunging up.
"Coyote on a Fence, " a collaboration between InSideOut Productions and Delgado Community College students, is a remarkable achievement by everyone concerned and deserves a longer run.

Murray postgame quotes
Terry Murray's postgame thoughts…
(on the game…)
MURRAY: "That was a playoff game. There was good checking. There were some big hits. There was some scoring. It was a fun game. And big goaltending at both ends. Both guys, I thought, were very big. They came up, not only in the overtime and the shootout, but on the 5-on-5, there were a couple of plays that both goaltenders looked outstanding."
(on why he decided on Stoll shooting fourth…)
MURRAY: "You have a shootout group. We put it together a couple years ago. There are seven, eight guys in there that are the shooters in a shootout. It just comes down to making a selection. In that selection with Stolly, I'm looking at a left-handed catching goaltender and a right shot. His read on that is to shoot the puck."
(on Ponikarovsky's goal, and the preceding shift…)
MURRAY: "The shift, that was the kind of shift that you have to have. You want to continue to play the game the right way, making plays, getting on the puck. We'd been doing a lot of good things in the game, and you just want to continue to do it. I thought the shift was absolutely outstanding. Recovering pucks, after they tried to clear it two or three times. Scuderi keeps it in. You just want to keep pucks going to the net. Good things can happen. I think that's a clip you could pull off and just show your guys in development camp, or training camp, and just say, `This is the attitude you have to have.' It ends up being the tying goal, a huge goal. I was happy for Poni, because he has had a difficult stretch here as an L.A. King. A couple injuries, but maybe that will be the catalyst to really get him starting to put the puck in the net more consistently."
(on Ponikarovksy's play tonight…)
MURRAY: "It took a few games, at the start of the year, to get settled in, and then after that he really started to play well. Then the injury happens. I've got him out on the penalty-killing here today. The penalty-killing was huge, a four-minute penalty kill in the third period. That was big time. You've got to dig in and just get it done, and everybody did. Ponikarovsky was a part of that. I think his ankle is good, he's feeling good and, again, hopefully this goal can really give him the confidence that he needs to keep going."
(on keeping Heatley, Marleau and Thornton off the scoreboard…)
MURRAY: "That's a team effort. You've got to have the right D pair out there, to try to match that up. We believe on the back end more than the line matchup. And your goaltender has to be very big. Quick was outstanding. That's three games in a row, now, for him, that he's been great. When you have those premier players in the game facing you, you just have to make sure that everyday is tracking back. A real important part of it, against that team, I think, is to put back pressure on them, because they do a lot of crossing. They do a lot of delays, and looking for weak-side defensemen, so back pressure is critical, with your stick down, looking and anticipating those kinds of plays. Everybody was on board with it."

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), commonly referred to as laparoscopy for the abdomen and thoracoscopy for the chest, has dramatically changed the way many different operations can be performed today. Since the introduction of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the early 1990s, virtually every classical open operation has been adapted and modified to the minimally invasive approach. Minimal access techniques using small incisions significantly reduce trauma, operative bleeding, respiratory dysfunction and cardiovascular distress (among others).
MIS yields better clinical outcomes and the possibility to offer surgical treatments to populations of higher risk, notably elders and individuals with compromised life expectancy. The most tangible advantages of MIS for the patient include:
Minimally invasive procedures commonly offered by the surgical teams at UTMB Health include:
UTMB surgeons were the first in the Southwest to practice computer-enhanced robotic surgery. This revolutionary technology allows the surgeon to perform minimally invasive surgery in cases that otherwise would be performed by conventional open surgery due to current limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery.
Many abdominal procedures are moving from traditional laparoscopic techniques to the more advanced robotic system. One major advantage of robotic surgery is the enhanced dexterity obtained by using articulated endoscopic instruments which possess 7-degree of freedom, tremor filtration, and scale of motion.
The second great improvement is the use of real, magnified 3-dimensional optical system. The apparatus has two main components—a seven-foot tall tower with robotic arms and a console where a surgeon is seated looking down at a three-dimensional view of the organs on which he or she is working.
From the console, the surgeon controls the four robotic arms that position and maneuver the endoscopic instruments that the surgeon inserts into the patient through small incisions. Organs or systems approached using robotic technology at UTMB include: esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, adrenal gland, spleen, kidney, colon and rectum, uterus and adnexa, urinary bladder, and prostate.
The advantages of robotic surgery for the patient are similar to what we see with other minimally invasive procedures.
