Man attacked fire truck, paramedics, police say
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 7:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 7:29 p.m.
A Gainesville man was arrested Sunday morning after pounding on the hood of a fire truck and punching an off-duty paramedic in the head.
According to a Gainesville Police Department report, Preston Porter Calkins, 24, ran into the road at 300 S Main Street in front of a fire truck that was responding to a call for service around 1 a.m. Calkins pounded on the hood of the truck, mounted the side running boards and cussed at the paramedics inside.
Police said Calkins, who lives in the 3200 block of NW 83rd Street, was "extremely intoxicated."
An off-duty paramedic who was driving by in his truck stopped at the scene and rolled down his window to check on the paramedics. Calkins charged at the open truck window, cussed at the man and punched him multiple times in the back of the head until the on-duty paramedics subdued him.
Calkins was arrested on charges of assault and battery during burglary.

A recent newspaper article was about a woman who changed her baby's diaper on the table in a restaurant. I know changing a diaper is a natural and normal thing to do, but in a restaurant, where people are eating? The restaurant management did a lot of cleaning and disinfecting after she left. It seems to me the mother should have done what she had to do in a different way as an act of courtesy to other customers in the restaurant.
That brings me to the subject of courtesy and to wondering if the standards of courtesy and being polite have changed over my lifetime. Maybe I just don't get around as much as before. Or is it that people just don't care about others as much as they once did? Maybe other things have changed and what was once an act of courtesy is now obsolete and out of place in modern society.
I remember when it was the polite thing to do for a man to open a door for a lady. Then I heard that a women may be offended when a man opens a door for her. She may take it as meaning he thinks she is not capable of opening the door herself. I'd feel sorry for the man who is just trying to be nice and his efforts are not appreciated.
Many places now have doors that open automatically and that little courtesy doesn't apply. It may also be that doors are easier to open or that women today are less likely to be carrying anything, like maybe a baby, a basket of laundry or a bag of groceries.
A similar courtesy is when a man allows and/or invites a lady to "go first." A recent newspaper article had to do with a marine tradition that in cases where the order is given to abandon ship, it should always be "women and children first."
The article discussed that tradition and compared it to actual statistics of survival rates.
One situation where a woman may insist that the man go first is when they are both climbing a ladder and she is wearing a skirt or dress.
Boy Scouts used to be taught to help old ladies cross busy streets. That must have been in days before traffic lights when some of the traffic was horse drawn. There is a scene in a popular television series where a man tries to help an elderly lady cross a street and she hits him with her purse because she thinks he is trying to "get fresh" with her. Many people today do not want to be touched by strangers under any circumstances.
In the days before automobiles, most men went back and forth to work on streetcars. It was the polite and courteous thing to do, for a man to offer his seat to a lady when the streetcar was filled to capacity. That made sense if the lady was holding a child or if she was elderly. Men who were on their way home after a hard day's work felt they were entitled to sit and refused to give up their seats.
A courteous act that I remember being done many times was when a man would tip his hat as a sign of respect. It could be for a woman, an elderly person, someone in uniform or wearing a religious habit or just as a greeting or thank you. I've noticed that in England, women curtsy to the queen as an act of courtesy.
It's just the courteous thing to do when people "dress up." Men wore suits, ties and hats to go downtown for any purpose.
Women always wore dresses and hats to church. Everyone would dress up for just about any occasion. All that has changed. I haven't worn a tie in years. My suit hangs in the closet, unused.
I see people come to church wearing less than my mother would have worn to go swimming. The last time I was on an airplane, all the passengers were dressed just as if they were at home in the evening, getting ready for bed. In fact, as we crossed the ocean, all the passengers did get some sleep.
Before all the chain stores and supermarkets, retail sales were conducted in family owned stores. A business could not survive without customers and owners went out of their way to be courteous and to treat customers like family. If you bought a dozen pieces of bakery, you often got an extra doughnut. The butcher would throw in a soup bone without charge. The grocer would give samples of fresh peaches or plums. Little kids that behaved in the store would be treated to a lollipop.
Very few businesses today give calendars to their customers. When I was a boy, many stores and other businesses gave calendars away. Those who had mostly male customers would give calendars with pictures of pretty girls in skimpy costumes.
Another act of courtesy was when a smoker would ask permission from those around him before he would light up. There was even a joke about that. The young man asked his new girlfriend, "Mind if I smoke"? She answered, "Heck, no, burst into flames if you like." New laws that prohibit smoking have changed all that.
When there were many people who did not speak English, it was considered rude to speak a foreign language in the presence of someone who did not. The exception was when adults did not want little ones to hear what was being said.
A little before my time, before telephones and radio, people used calling cards. Not all people, just those in the upper class of society. A card with the caller's name on it, would be presented to a servant at the door. The servant would deliver the card to the man or woman of the house and they would have the servant deliver an answer. Either the person would be "at home" or "not at home."
Today we can choose whether or not to answer the phone.

A few weeks ago I was in Oxford for the screening of Girlfriend in a Coma, the film on Italy's decline written by Bill Emmott, former editor of The Economist, and Annalisa Piras, an Italian journalist and filmmaker. The audience – consisting mainly of British Italophiles and young Italian researchers who had left the country's decaying universities to find shelter in British academia – gave the documentary a warm reception. During the discussion I chaired after the screening, Emmott conceded that taking the movie to Italy would pose a far greater challenge. He joked that he and Piras would need bodyguards. Their movie is in fact a brutal exercise in truth-telling, aimed at holding to account those who have run Italy over the past two decades.
Italy's first reaction has, indeed, proved rather unwelcoming. The Italian premiere of Girlfriend in a Coma, scheduled for February 13 at MAXXI, a museum of contemporary art in Rome, was suddenly cancelled on Friday. Read more

Construct a Guesthouse for Carmelite Nuns in Rwanda
Thursday, February 20, 2014
Project Code: 145-06-19
The Convent of the Carmelite Sisters in Nyamirambo, on the outskirts of the Rwandan capital Kigali, is a place of silence and prayer. Again and again people are drawn to this atmosphere, wanting to spend a few days withdrawn from the world and so find their way closer to God again. More and more priests, religious and laity are requesting the opportunity to make retreats here. The Carmelite Sisters are not in a position to accommodate many visitors, however, for they simply do not have the capacity and, thanks to the happy circumstance that they have many vocations, they need all the available space for their own community. In order to resolve the problem, in 2011, the Sisters began to build a separate guesthouse with 24 rooms. The convent is situated in a beautiful spot on the hillside, with a view of Mount Kigali and Mount Rebero. It is a perfect place for their visitors to find rest and renewal, in body and in spirit. The center will also provide some employment for local people, such as being cooks and cleaners, giving them an opportunity to supplement their family income. And for the Carmelite Sisters, the guesthouse will at the same time be a precious and much-needed source of income. The first phase of the construction work has already been completed, thanks to the help of ACN. But now the Sisters need more help in order to be able to complete the work, and they written to us, saying "The Child Jesus is urging us to turn to you in trust and seek your help."We have no doubt that our benefactors will not disappoint these good nuns, and so we have already promised $9,900. Will you help us fulfill this promise so that these Carmelite Sisters can complete the work on this oasis of peace and prayer in Rwanda? We are sure they will remember you in their grateful prayers.Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

I have a client who is not tech savy. This client wants me to make a web page for selling used cars. They were once hosted by the company which created their car inventory software but they were not satisfied with the web page given to them particularly the costs to pay for their service <snip>. However, I'm not that experienced with SQL and PHP which I think would be necessary to create a database to store information about the cars (ex. Vehicle Identification Number, Name, Make, etc.). I'm thinking of using a CMS and getting a template which can be easily modified so I'm looking at Joomla and Wordpress (I want something that is compatitible with Dreamhost). Is this a good approach or should I think things through more?
Using a CMS is definitely the way to go. If the client is willing to shell out a few $$$, check out ExpressionEngine, too. You have full and easy control over the templates, which makes it a dream to use.
ralph.m,Thanks for the advice. What advantages does ExpressionEngine have over Wordpress or Joomla? The latter two seem to have more users so I figured they would have more support and plugins. I do like that Expression Engine doesn't require previous knowledge of PHP to use it, but I'll have to look at the cost and discuss it with my client. If you have any previous experience with those three, could you explain how your experiences with each were like? I have been reluctant to use CMS in the past because I've heard about how they can put out bloated code and being that I'm trying to also improve my web design skills and learn some development on the side I do not want to pick up any bad practices.
EE is much more flexible that WP or Joomla. You have so many more options about where content goes and how it's configured, yet it's easier to use, too (at least in my opinion). EE also doesn't create any code itself, meaning that you are in total control of the code output, which for me is a huge advantage. EE also has a huge number of quality add-ons and a very active and supportive community.
When clients question the cost over free options, I remind them that the time I save in setting up EE can easily outweigh the savings in using free code.
ralph.m,My client would prefer not to spend too much money on the website. I tried explaning to them the advantages of Expression Engine but they were not sure. I have heard of ModX and ProccessWire. They seem to be similar to Expression Engine. Would they be good substitutes, or should I try to push them torwards EE?
All I can suggest is to give it a go, as I'm not sure how to do this with other CMSes. But I'd be wary of a client who wants this functionality but doesn't want to spend a bit on it. It's like someone who wants a car with all the bells and whistles but wants to pay almost nothing. It's going to take you time to learn how to do all this with any CMS, and it sounds like you are not going to get paid much for your time. I'd be inclined to let the client go, personally.
Ideally I would do that however my portfolio is rather bare and I would like the experience. Also, the client is related to me.
Any way you slice it it is going to be a lot of work to replicate the same functionality of those sites which you have shown with any generic CMS. Working on a very limited budget it would be best to use a CMS specific to the business goals at hand. That is if one exist specifically for vehicle listings. Otherwise, you have a lot of work ahead of you working at slave rates from what it sounds like.
Famous last words.

URBANA, Ohio (AP) -- A 25-year-old man accused of stabbing, suffocating and dismembering his 21-year-old girlfriend in Ohio says he met the woman through a social networking website while looking for new friends.
Matthew Puccio is among five people charged in connection with the death of Jessica Rae Sacco in their Urbana duplex apartment.
A couple from Fenton, Mich., and two people from Urbana are accused of failing to intervene in the killing and helping Puccio cut off or transport limbs that were dumped in southern Ohio and Kentucky.
The Springfield News-Sun (http://bit.ly/HnNkaf ) reports that Puccio said during an interview that he met Sacco through Facebook and was longtime friends with the Michigan man. Puccio said he met the two Urbana residents at a local library three days before the killing.

Wes Anderson And Roman Coppola Make Short Films For Prada
Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola are something of a movie-making dream team, and they've taken their quirky, manic-pixie-dream-film aesthetic and lent it to Prada for a series of advertorial vignettes. Their collaborative campaign for the fashion house's latest perfume, Candy L'eau, stars French actress Lea Seydoux as the titular Candy, a baby bangs-wearing ingenue trapped in a love triangle that she doesn't seem to be too mad about — in fact, it's quite saccharine. Get it? The campaign kicks off with three 12-second clips, with three longer teasers to follow and then a final full-length spot. Oh, and they're all in French with English subtitles. Because of course. Watch the first minute-long teaser above, and the three clips after the jump! [Fashionista, Popsop]

IUPUI Physics Researcher Receives National Science Foundation's Prestigious CAREER Grant for Graphene Research
Release Date:
Aug 5 2011
Yogesh Joglekar, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics in the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), has received the National Science Foundation's (NSF) CAREER Award. CAREER Awards are the most prestigious awards granted by the NSF in support of faculty members early in their careers who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and integration of education and research. The award is for $400,000 over a five-year period beginning August 1, 2011.
Dr. Yogesh Joglekar, Assistant Professor of Physics
Joglekar's research will explore the properties of uniform and crystalline exciton condensation in graphene, which may lead to the ability to better control electrical transport without resistance and coherent light emission. Graphene is a one-atom-thick film of carbon whose strength, flexibility and electrical conductivity have opened up new horizons for pure physics research as well as high-tech applications. Joglekar's past research on graphene led to his participation in graphene workshops at the highly competitive Aspen Center for Physics and the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
"I look forward to re-galvanizing my research in graphene by working closely with my graduate students and postdoctoral fellow," said Joglekar. He also plans to include high school and undergraduate students in the research, which he has done regularly over the past several years.
"Unlike most people, when Dr. Joglekar thinks about theoretical physics, he also thinks about undergraduates and high school students and how they can contribute to a field usually considered the purview of only the most advanced minds," said Simon Rhodes, Ph.D., dean of the School of Science. "This most recent research award and the success of his students illustrate his commitment to educating and inspiring the young people who will be the engines of growth and innovation in the 21st century."
Mark Babbey, a Noblesville, Indiana high-school student who worked with Joglekar last summer and whose research led to a publication in Physical Review A, a top international journal, is one such example. "Working in a real lab, on a real project that had never been attempted before, sparked my interest. This wasn't a textbook lab exercise that every other physics student had done before; this was research," said Mark Babbey, who will join IUPUI as a freshman this fall.
Award abstract: http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1054020
The School of Science at IUPUI is committed to excellence in teaching, research and service in the biological, physical, behavioral and mathematical sciences. The School is dedicated to being a leading resource for interdisciplinary research and science education in support of Indiana's effort to expand and diversify its economy.

Kim Kardashian and her rag-tag bunch of family members stopped by Larry King Live on Friday. After getting peppered by Barbara Walters about her sex tape, Kim was ready for another awkward discussion about her nudity with the surprisingly alive. This time Larry brought up the topic of her shoot for Playboy. Kim said a bunch of words about something or rather, I dunno. I was too busy staring at the video of her getting ready for the shoot. Then things kind of went black for a while. I blame the fall into the next cubicle when I tried to mount my monitor. I should invest in some handlebars. I mean, I can't keep doing this 10-30 times a day – before lunch.
Thanks to Lindsey who isn't afraid to say Larry's suspenders are sexy. Hell yeah!

>Racing>5-K in 2 days?
The Logic of Long Distance
CPT Curmudgeon
I'm "running" the Boulevard Bolt 5-miler on Thursday. Stupid me didn't realize it was the same week as the monkey when I sent in the entry. I'll echo the advice--get out and run easy today and tomorrow. I ran easy yesterday and feel much better today. Maybe you'll run faster than you think. Different systems. That's what I keep telling myself.
go run a couple miles today. Getting that blood pumping will feel good. The race benefits habitat for humanity so that is cool plus I think I am going to run it so you can look forward to beating me
You're doing the Habitrot? Hmm. That makes it a little more tempting. It was kinda cool meeting some of the folks on here.
One way or another, I think I'll be there, either watching or running. Might actually be fun just to be a spectator.
I was going to preregister to make sure I ran it but registration is closed even though it says it is open until midnight tonight.
You'll ruin your knees!
A certain someone is trying to rope me into a 5-k Thursday morning. At the moment, I'm still hobbling pretty badly. Was planning on a 2-3 mile gentle run tomorrow. Maybe.
So I've got about 40 hours to recover. And I don't really want to run the 5-k if I can't push it. Hard. If it's just going to be a jog, I'd rather hang out and watch her, save the money for something important. Like beer.
So - can I? Should I? Will I run fast? Slow? Will I cripple myself?
I've got 'til midnight tonight to register.
Insert your wisdom here. I'm sure one of you knuckleheads has an opinion. (Actually, I won't be surprised if Trent ran a 5-k yesterday ...)
""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)
That is the game plan. I was going to preregister to make sure I ran it but registration is closed even though it says it is open until midnight tonight. I dunno maybe it meant midnight last night. I am not too excited about the 8am start time its going to be cold but I guess I will get over it. The only thing that would stop me from running it is the random lets go get hammered phone call.
I remember those calls. I sort of miss them. (Of course a real man would answer the call ... and then run the next morning anyway ...
From one k-head to another...sign up and run it with her! How hard is that to figure out? You'll be the hero, running a 5k...with her...when you were barely able to hobble after running your marathon PR through a bunch of crap-slinging monkeys! What a man!
My $.02...for you, $.50!
Lynn B
Runners run.
Beer can be an integral part of your training nutrition.
hmmm drive to franklin and save $5 and lock my self into not skipping....hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm
i just don't know
it is so tempting
And scout i get my weekly intake of beer no worries

Society of the Descendants of Washington's
Army at Valley Forge
Welcome to the Descendants!
A Concise History of the Society
Until the Bicentennial of American Independence, there had been no general effort to draw up the roll of more than 3,000 soldiers who were believed to have died in and around Valley Forge Pennsylvania while encamped there with General George Washington during the fateful winter of 1777-78 and the months that followed. The Society of the Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge was founded by Mr. Donald G. Cronan of Manhassett, New York for the purpose of compiling a roll and preserving the identity of the individual soldiers, especially those who lie in unmarked graves.
In 1975 Cronan, a member of the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission visited the park at Valley Forge for the first time. Having recently discovered that his ancestor had been at Valley Forge, but had not left when the army marched out. Cronan was disappointed to find no marker or even a roll listing the honored dead of Valley Forge.
On March 25, 1976, Cronan submitted the official application with the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration to make the forming of the Society a registered Bicentennial project. (#022453) The main objective of this new society would be the compilation of the roll of the soldiers that died in or near the Valley Forge Encampment. The scope has changed to record all the honored ancestors as proven by the membership through their documented application.
The society of the Descendants of Washinton's Army at Valley Forge was organized as a Bicentennial Project on March 25, 1976, by Mr. Donald G. Cronan of New York. Charter members were the first 79 members who joined. The organizational meeting was held in the Guild Room at the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge, PA.
The first annual Encampment was held for the membership on Washington 's Birthday weekend 1978. The ground was covered with snow which brought those in attendance a special reverence with the suffering of their ancestors.
The Society has continued to grow and prosper as the "honored roll" is called for those who served their country in this time of peril.
The Society has enjoyed a successive line of outstanding Commanders in Chief though whose efforts the society has enjoyed much growth, starting with Donald Cronan and including, Phillip Steel, Betty Brown Miller, Barbara Waltz Stone, and Timothy Massey.
On October 23, 1976 the organizational committee met at Washington's Headquarters to formally launch the society. The first formal meeting of the society was held in Washington's Headquarters at Valley Forge.
The Society was organized "for the purposes of attracting the interest and support of the descendants of George Washington's Army at Valley Forge" for educational and charitable purposes "within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. " (See Article II, Bylaws.) Various scholarships and awards are presented by the national and state organizations, know as Brigades.
Members prove their "descent in a direct blood line from an officer or enlisted man of proven honorable service in a Continental Line or other military unit headquartered at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, under the command of General George Washington at any time within the calendar dates of the historic winter encampment of Washington's Army at Valley Forge, viz., December 19, 1777, through June 19, 1778." (See Article III, Bylaws.)
Through the years, various projects have been completed, recognizing the ancestors of the members. Some of those projects are: placement of a tree in the Memorial Grove in the Valley Forge National Historic Park; naming of a bench for the society in Washington Square, Philidelphia; and placement of a marker near the Patriots Bell Tower at Washington Memorial Chapel.
The marker reads: "In Honor of All Loyal Patriots who Served under the Command of General George Washington In the Winter Encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, December 19, 1777 - June 19, 1778, and in Honor of Donald G. Cronan, Founder of the Society, Society of the Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge."
The Society has an annual Encampment, sometime between Dec. 19 and June 19, usually in the Valley Forge area. The date and location are announced several months in advance and information is provided in issues of the quarterly newsletter, "The Encampment", which is sent to all members of the society.

The immunities of the Houses and their members and the powers of the Houses, particularly the power to punish contempts, although referred to together by the term "parliamentary privilege", are quite distinct. The power of the Houses in respect of contempts is a power to deal with acts which are regarded by the Houses as offences against the Houses. That power is not an offshoot of the immunities which are commonly called privileges, nor is it now the primary purpose of that power to protect those immunities, which are expected to be protected by the courts in the processes of the ordinary law.
In the past, references to contempts as "breaches of privilege" led to the erroneous notion that each contempt is a violation of an immunity. Obvious offences against the Parliament were referred to as if they were violations of particular immunities, and immunities were distorted, or new supposed immunities were invented, to correspond to each contempt. Thus intimidation of witnesses was supposed to be a violation of freedom of speech, and assaults upon members were supposed to violate what was called the privilege of freedom from molestation. There was some doubt about treating obvious offences against the Parliament as contempts because the particular immunity which they violated was not readily apparent. For example, the unauthorised publication of in camera evidence is clearly an offence, but which particular immunity does it violate?
Similarly, it is sometimes said that because the Houses of the British Parliament resolved in the 18th century that reporting of their proceedings was a breach of privilege (i.e. a contempt), and because those resolutions were not rescinded until after 1901, it must technically be an offence for anyone to report the proceedings of the Houses of the Australian Parliament. This misconception also stems from the confusion between immunities and powers. Section 49 of the Constitution confers upon the Houses of the Australian Parliament power to declare acts to be offences and to punish those acts; it does not mean that acts which have been declared to be contempts in the United Kingdom are automatically contempts in Australia. Since the Australian Houses have not declared reporting of their proceedings to be a contempt, the resolutions of the British Houses are of no consequence, and the problem simply does not arise in Australia.
This confusion between immunities and powers is still so deeply entrenched in much discussion of parliamentary immunities and powers that it is very difficult to avoid it. The matter is discussed more fully in the 1967 House of Commons report, at pp 89ff, in the Senate submission to the 1984 joint committee, and in various advices to, and reports by, the Senate Privileges Committee.

HOUSTON - A jury was seated Tuesday in a murder trial stemming from a fire at a Houston home day care center that left four children dead and injured three others.
Jessica Tata, 24, was charged with four counts of murder, three counts of abandoning a child and two counts of reckless injury to a child.
Shomari Dickerson, 3, Elizabeth Kojah, 20 months, Kendyll Stradford, 20 months, and Elias Castillo, 16 months, died in the fire at Jackie's Child Care on Crestpark at Waypark shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2011. Three other children were injured.
Tata will stand trial for felony murder first for the youngest of the victims -- Elias Castillo.
Lawyers questioned more than 100 prospective jurors for the case. A panel of seven women, five men and two female alternates was chosen.
Opening statements will begin on Wednesday. The judge is not allowing cameras, cellphones or electronic devices in the courtroom.
Despite a lot of publicity in the case, the lawyers never asked for a change of venue.
"There's no question in my mind Jessica Tata can get a fair trial in Harris County," KPRC Local 2 legal analyst Brian Wice said. "The test of being on a jury isn't what you've heard, read or felt about the case, but whether you can put those feelings aside and judge the defendant based on the law and evidence you hear in court."
Prosecutors said Tata left the children alone while she went to a nearby Target store. She left oil in a frying pan over a stove top burner that ignited the blaze while she was at the store.
Tata's attorneys said the murder charge is excessive because she never intended to harm the children.
The judge ruled Wednesday that a Target receipt that allegedly placed her away from home when the day care caught fire can be used in her trial.
Tata fled to Nigeria after the fire, but before she was charged. She was captured a month later.
If convicted, Tata could face up to life in prison.

Saint Elizabeth Performs First Single-Incision Robotic Gallbladder Removal in NebraskaMay 07 2012
LINCOLN, NEB – Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center is the first hospital in Nebraska to perform a single-incision gallbladder removal using the latest technology available, the new Single-Site™ Instrumentation for the da Vinci® Si™ Surgical System. Saint Elizabeth is among the first 70 facilities in the nation to use this technology that was approved by the FDA in December of 2011.
General Surgeon Greg Fitzke, MD, and the Saint Elizabeth surgical team performed two of these minimally invasive procedures last week where robotic-assisted surgery allowed for a single-incision through the belly button. Only 120 surgeons in the United States have completed specialized training and education to perform these procedures.
During the minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon controls every movement of the robot while viewing a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site on a console. Surgeons can safely remove the gallbladder through the belly button in a single incision of approximately one inch.
The new procedure offers patients minimal scarring, less bleeding, quicker recovery time and a shorter stay in the hospital. "I believe the da Vinci robotic platform adds improved precision to single-incision gallbladder surgery. Each patient must be individualized, but I'm excited to have this technology available at Saint Elizabeth as an option to my patients," says Dr. Fitzke.
At Saint Elizabeth, the da Vinci robot is utilized for various types of procedures including gynecology, urology and advanced laparoscopic general surgeries. "Using a surgical robot is the future of minimally invasive surgery and we feel privileged to offer this option to our patients," says Nancy Gondringer, director of surgical services at Saint Elizabeth.
Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, founded more than 120 years ago, is a full-service, 260-bed nonprofit regional medical center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Saint Elizabeth has been selected as a Top 100 Hospital® in the nation by Thomson Reuters five times and has been recognized as a Magnet hospital for excellence in nursing since 2004. Saint Elizabeth received their most recent award from The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award recognizes the commitment to a higher standard of stroke care by ensuring that stroke patients receive treatment according to nationally accepted standards and recommendations.
Catholic Health Initiatives is a national nonprofit health organization with headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. The faith-based system operates in 19 states and includes 76 hospitals; 40 long-term care, assisted- and residential-living facilities; two community health-services organizations; two accredited nursing colleges; and home health agencies. In fiscal year 2011, CHI provided more than $612 million in charity care and community benefit, including services for the poor, free clinics, education and research. With annual revenues of more than $10.5 billion, CHI is the nation's second-largest Catholic health care system.
Catholic Health Initiatives organizations in Nebraska include Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, HealthConnect at Home serving Lincoln, Grand Island and Kearney, Nebraska Heart Hospital and Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln, Saint Francis Medical Center in Grand Island, St. Mary's Community Hospital in Nebraska City and The Physician Network. Through its hospital facilities and The Physician Network, Catholic Health Initiatives in Nebraska provides full-service inpatient, outpatient and behavioral health care along with primary care and specialty physician services.

" Es gab gar kein Zimmer für mich. Ich kam im Hotel an und der Rezeptionist sagt zu mir, dass keine Reservierung vorliegt :-( Blöd, dass es schon spät abends am Flughafengelände war und die nächsten Hotels nicht gerade in nächster Nähe. Gut, dass das Hotel improvisieren konnte und doch noch ein Zimmer frei hatte. Nachdem ich dann Hostelworld geschrieben hatte, habe ich nun die Anzahlung zurückerstattet bekommen. Danke dafür! Aber es ist ein echt doofes Gefühl! "- Anonyme

what does it mean when your back end is open and how is that fixed?
It means you've got a security issue on the server side of your site. It could mean any of a number of things:
Is this a real situation, or are you looking for general ideas? If general, look at the different forums here (this one, database, whatever language your site is using)) and look there for topics which might meet your needs (the database forum has one dealing specifically with #5 above).
If it's a situation, you might need to provide more details so someone can point you in the direction of where to look to fix your issues.
yes it's a real situation, someone told me the backend was open http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.comI know ftp is locked.My hosting is with poweredbypenguins and I'm guessing they are up to speed with security.How else can I know?
I would guess the issue is more with wordpress than your host.
Unless they are prepared to give you some more information, I'll tell them to shut their own backend. Your login page is password protected. WP is normally not "open" (presumably meaning "publicly accessible").
It's likely that the one telling you that you've been hacked is trying to use social engineering to gain your login details (easier than actually hacking a website). If that's not the case, you'd better be prepared to download your entire website and match it with your local version (WinMergeU and BCompare are both good at making comparisons and noting any differences). If you've been hacked, search here for the checklist of recovery tasks I'd posted some months ago.
hmmm, well the person I did the website for, it's a member of their family. They commented to say they like the website but to tell me the backend is open so to look into it. The problem is I developed this online so don't have any local version
Oh man, you always need a backup. I really can't suggest strongly enough that you make one.
We'll be happy to give you some pointers if you don't know how.
Please if you could. I have backupafobia. I have a plug in called duplicate. Is that any good?
Nah, that plugin allows you to clone a post or page, or edit it as a new draft.
To back up your site, basically you need to do two things:
Let's start with point 1.You can either do this by loging into your hosting company's admin area and using whatever functionality the offer you (probably PHPMyAdmin)Or, installing a plugin, such as this one, which will do it for you.You might also want to read: http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database
After that, the easiest way to get to your files, is to connect to your webspace, via FTP, find your root WP folder (it will contain folders such as "wp-admin" and "wp-content"), then just copy this to your local PC.If you don't have FTP access for whatever reason, there is a plugin that claims to do it for you.You might also want to read: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
And that's it.
Personally, I do both of these things by hand, so I can't recommend the plugin as I simply haven't used it.
Anyone else?
oh that sounds easy. I'll wait for a recommendation on that plug. Otherwise where do I go in phpadmin to back up?
To copy my root do I copy the public_html and all inside that?
In PHPMyAdmin, select the db, click the tab marked "Export", keep the defaults, but choose "Save as file" (this might be hidden under "Advanced options" or something), and that's it.
It can't hurt to have a backup of everything on the server.Strictly speaking all you need is the directory titled "wp-content", but I would go one level above that, then you've got a copy of everything related to the WP install.
easy peezy! I didn't even need to access phpmyadmin as they had a backup button in my control panel so I clicked that and it saved to my pc in a .txt ( hope that's right )Plus now in the process of transfering all files via ftp...
Thanks I'm now backed up and about to do the same for all my other sites!
Yup, it should be a plain text file.It is probably worth opening it and searching for a string that you know you added to the site recently.E.g. When I back up my DB after updating my blog, I open the backup file and search for the title of my last blog post. that way you know that you have got the latest version.
Good on you!
Don't forget to password protect your "backend"!!! Use the password your host can generate for you OR use a strong one from strongpasswordgenerator.com.
Your host has nothing to do with the security of your backend; by being open it means its vulnerable to attacks, so you should be looking for an upgrade to the CMS youre using.
s vulnerable to attacks, so you should be looking for an upgrade to the CMS you
I see, will mke sure I keep updating!
@pullo if I want to take this back up I did of the database and files and put it onto a sub directory, how do I do thast? Do you know of a tutorial that I can follow?
Not sure I follow you.Could you elaborate a little on what you are trying to do.
On a separate note, I almost didn't see this question.If you want to get someone's attention you can mention them by writing an at sign "@" followed by the user name "pullo" a space " " and a semicolon ";"
Like this: @hantaah ;
This will then show up in that person's notifications when they log in.
Or you can just type [mention][/mention] tags round the name. It does the same thing (and I find it easier to remember ).[/ot]
Or you can just type [mention][/mention] tags round the name. It does the same thing (and I find it easier to remember ).[/ot]
@Pullo ; I see thanks for that @TechnoBear and thank you also
you helped me make a back up ( above ) so I have a plain text file of the data base and all the files from the public_html. So I now want to take all this and place it on my new url but on a sub directory. I though to do this so that if any of muy clients don't keep their hoting going then I can still link to my work ( fully working )
so for example I'd have my url http://organicwebdesigns.co.uk and then another wordpress site on a sub directory like this http://organicwebdesigns.co.uk/my-first-project and so on. So How do I get this back up above to work on my sub directory. I tried just uploading it into the sub directory but that didn't work.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/10/2010 (2497 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald suggested at a news conference last Friday that there wasn't a lot of difference between her province's approach to the so-called 'liberation treatment' for multiple sclerosis sufferers and that of neighbouring Saskatchewan.
That was before Saskatchewan carried through this week with an earlier promise to fund clinical trials for the procedure in that province.
The controversial MS treatment, which is unavailable in Canada, involves unblocking veins to normalize blood flow from the brain. Some Canadian MS sufferers have travelled as far away as Europe, India and Egypt for the procedure and have claimed it has done wonders for their health.
This summer, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said his government was willing to fund clinical trials of the controversial therapy. "We know there's not unanimity amongst the various groups out there about this particular treatment but we know anecdotally, and to some extent empirically, that there's reason for hope here," Wall told the Regina Leader-Post at the time.
Manitoba and other provinces have been under considerable pressure from MS sufferers who are convinced of the effectiveness of the treatment developed by Italian vascular specialist Paolo Zamboni. He has hypothesized that MS may be caused by a narrowing and twisting of veins that drain blood from the brain. It's a condition he has dubbed CCSVI, or chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.
On Friday, Oswald was asked why Manitoba wasn't following Saskatchewan's path in proceeding with clinical trials. She thanked the reporter for asking the question and then suggested the two province's positions weren't that far apart.
Here is her entire answer:
"I can tell you that I met with (Saskatchewan) Health Minister Don McMorris last month when we were (at a health ministers meeting) in Newfoundland-Labrador and was able to clarify a few things with him about their statements about running clinical trials. And he was very clear that Saskatchewan's point of view is not different from the rest of the nation in that they will proceed with clinical trials if and when the evidence says it's appropriate to do so.
"He said...if there's enough evidence through the research community to go forward with clinical trials, 'we as a government would be there to fund it. We haven't said we are conducting clinical trials.' So I think that's an important distinction to make. I think that MS patients, even around the world, think, 'I'm going to run to Saskatchewan because there are clinical trials going on there.' That's not the case. And it really did become clear in the discussion that his view is really similar to the view of health ministers across the nation. And that the evidence must be there to have a safe and ethical clinical trial. He was also very supportive of what CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research) and other experts have said about the importance of a multi-site or a pan-Canadian approach and so he spoke in favour of that as well.
"So I think it's important to clarify that indeed there aren't clinical trials going on anywhere in Canada. There's a project going on in Newfoundland that was announced at that time that isn't a clinical trial either. I think there's been some confusion about that. It's an observational study of a very small group of patients. And what the research experts have told us, and they're not making this up, it's from actual experience on research that was done on the carotid artery, that when a patchwork approach to research is done, it can not only get you no further ahead, it might even put you in reverse. And that is really concerning to me because while we don't have scientific evidence that is compelling to date to say let's pull the trigger on a multi-site clinical trial, we hope it's coming quickly. We do have very compelling anecdotal evidence from people that are travelling to have this so-called liberation therapy. And I believe that these families have the right to know as quickly as possible (whether it works). That includes if the answer is 'No, despite what you think you may feel, that this doesn't work.' And believe me I'm praying that that's not the answer. But if that is the answer, people with MS have the right to know that and as quickly as possible and a multi-site or pan-Canadian approach is the way that it appears, virtually unanimously, is the methodology that needs to be proceeded with. And that's why we're putting our money ($500,000) on the table today saying, yes, when this research comes forward and it says, it's appropriate, safe and ethical to go forward, we don't want to dilly dally, we want the cash on the table so that we can go. That's why we also as health ministers collectively have directed our officials to get ready just in case."
That was Friday. On Tuesday, Saskatchewan announced it was investing $5 million to fund clinical trials for the liberation procedure. The Saskatchewan Party government said it would leave it to Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation to develop the call for clinical trials, and provide the scientific, ethical and financial expertise to manage this initiative on behalf of the government. It said scientists and health experts, not politicians, would make the final decision on whether it was safe to proceed with clinical trials. But it wanted to kick-start the process.
Afterwards, I talked to Don McMorris, Saskatchewan's health minister, on the phone and asked him whether his province, as Oswald suggested, favoured a pan-Canadian approach.
This is what he said: "I would say that our approaches are similar. We would join in with a pan-Canadian clinical trial initiative if there was one, but there isn't. So, as I've said in other interviews, by the time we get 10 provinces, three territories and a federal government all in agreement on proportion timelines and everything else, we'll have ours (trials) completed, I would think."
McMorris also said the province wouldn't necessarily wait for the results of the seven diagnostic tests being carried out, including one in Saskatchewan, before proceeding with clinical trials.
Saskatchewan is establishing an advisory panel, with experts drawn from the province and other jurisdictions, to begin developing a call for proposals for clinical trials. The panel will convene in early November, with an expedited call for proposals occurring in early December. It is expected that the successful recipient will be chosen in early 2011 and a process leading to clinical trials will be announced by April of 2011.

I'd happily end every day with a slice of fresh-baked pie, but if I really had my druthers I'd start the day with one, too. Pie for breakfast is an amenity I got attached to last year when I was in Chicago; three out of the five mornings I spent there I was at either Hoosier Mama Pie Company or Bang Bang Pie, both of which serve pie by the slice starting early in the day.
I thought it might be only a Midwest treat until I noticed a small sign at Two Fat Cats in Portland, which is quite possibly the best pie bakery in New England. They offer pie and a cup of coffee for breakfast ($3.75)—or, I suppose, any time of day. Naturally, I was back the very next morning, and was pumped to learn that they'll cut you a slice of whatever fruit pies they've got available that day. (The only catch is that if you're ordering multiple slices, they must be cut from the same pie.) Minutes later, I was parked at the teeny tiny bistro table they have crammed between the staircase and a speed rack, digging into a slice of sour cherry. The tart red fruit, which is enhanced with a touch of almond, perfectly counters the flaky, lightly sweet butter-shortening crust.

Mets fans, like any other group, can't really be classified. Yankee fans are often labeled as "entitled", but we all know Yankee fans that inherited the team from a parent, an older brother, who lived through Horace Clarke or Hensley Muelens.
And Mets fans aren't all like Dana Brand, a wonderful man who died yesterday afternoon, much too soon, at age 56. Mets fans aren't always looking for happiness in the face of often unrelenting bad news. Mets fans aren't always so thankful for the great plays and able to provide humorous perspective on the no-so-great plays. Mets fans don't always have a proper sense of historical perspective, or the ability to make literature of baseball seasons.
In other words, Dana Brand wasn't typical of Mets fans. That's only fair; those who had the privilege of knowing him better than I did can verify that he wasn't typical of men, either.
He's just how I pictured the ideal Mets fan. A learned man with proper appreciation of baseball and family. Someone who provided a roadmap of a life to aspire to- writing and studying words for a living, outwardly appreciating his family in every available moment. A product of a Brooklyn Dodgers upbringing who embraced Mets history so completely that he'd created a symposium on the subject, which is scheduled for 2012.
I'm sitting here with my worn copy of Mets Fan, Dana's remarkable book on the study of our particular plight. As I've told his daughter, Sonia, I bought it the night I met Dana, in November of 2007. And I kept it in my car, actually- it helped me get through an offseason. Dana understood this difficulty. He wrote of the offseason: "It's as if someone you know has disappeared."
And maybe that's why I can't quite process the idea that he's gone. Dana's like baseball, right? Voices like that have to return after a little while. They don't disappear permanently. They show up when the weather starts to warm again.
It was comforting, even this week, to read his thoughts about the Mets. In an April 28 post to his blog, he wrote about believing in his team, even after the 5-13 start.
"Wouldn't it be great if the people who dumped on them in the press when they were 5-13 were to not merely say that the Mets have surprised them. Wouldn't it be great if they admitted that they were foolish to bury the Mets on the basis of one-tenth of the season, that they were craven and cynical, making a story that wasn't a story because they had to try to sell newspapers?"
Now we know that Fred Wilpon was one of these people, disparaging all the wrong Mets on the very night the team dropped to 5-13. We're supposed to be okay with this because it somehow proves he loves the Mets.
But Dana loved the Mets the right way. He loved them intelligently, optimistically and unreservedly. If current ownership loved the Mets like Dana Brand did, the Mets would be in a far better position than they are.
So I intend to honor Dana's life this weekend the way he lived it. I'll be attending a Mets game with my family, and enjoy it whether they win or lose. I'll be re-reading his work, and reading it to my daughter. I'll call my father to talk about the team. I'll write about the Mets. I'll think about the Mets.
In short, I'll find the happiness in how Dana lived, rather than simply dwelling on the idea that I won't get to hear his perspective on the continuing difficulties concerning the franchise we both love, or that I won't get to hear him next month at the Tappan Public Library, where he was scheduled to read.
I like to think that by doing so, I am following the example he set. I only wish I could provide comfort to those who knew him better, and will feel this loss even more acutely.

Product Description
This is Volume 1 of a two-volume set, which contains almost 500 recipes – and answers to a question put to my readers:
"What are the super-healthy recipes you make over and over, the ones you can't live without?"
Very frankly, I think these are the most valuable recipe books in my online store because they have a wider variety of ingredients and originality than any one person can come up with, no matter how creative she is!
I have always loved "favorites" books that workplaces, church groups, and schools come up with. We don't want to try 20 recipes to find one good one, do we? So why not get other people's favorites? It's a much better place to start.
Unfortunately, in all my traditional "favorites" recipe books that I've collected over the years, casseroles and cake mixes dominate, and if there was a vegetable in a recipe, there was inevitably, also, cheese, butter, potato chips, Ritz crackers, onion rings, Cream of Poison soup, or all of the above covering it up!
So I thought, why not collect a favorites collection with only healthy, whole-foods recipes!
To that end, this recipe collection gives credit to hundreds of GreenSmoothieGirl.com readers who gave us their MOST SPECIAL, time-tested, delicious and nutritious dishes!
Of the nearly 500 recipes, 55% are all raw, 85% are vegan, and 90% are gluten-free. 100% are whole foods and vegetarian!
Categories of dishes include:
Volume 1
Breads, Muffins/Scones, Pancakes, Cereals, Milks and Creams, "Cheeses," Salsas, Sauces, Relishes, Cookies, Candy, Bars, and Balls, Chips and Crackers, Dips and Spreads, Munchies, Smoothies, and Other Drinks
Volume 2
Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Chili, Soups, Stews, Sandwiches, Salads (types: Green, Fruit, Veggie, Pasta, Grain, Legume), Dressings, Desserts (Pies, Cakes, Frostings, Frozen Treats, Puddings and Custards, Other Desserts)

Theyskens' Theory Spring 2014
The lingerie slip; let's discuss. Is it . . . A, a diaphanous nothing that can allude to various decades, including the twenties, the thirties, and, fashion's current favorite decade, the nineties—with many a designer having recently referenced the way it was worn back then, which meant either a cashmere cardigan to slide over it and a mule at the foot, bringing a certain glossiness to the proceedings (à la the Calvin Nineties), or ragtag style, throwing plaid flannel and Secondhand Rose tattered lace into the mix (à la the Nirvana Nineties)? Or is it B, a diaphanous nothing that is nigh on impossible for any woman to really wear beyond the confines of her own home, and even then, isn't that why God gave everyone sweatshirts and leggings? Which brings it to Olivier Theyskens, who made extensive use of the slip in myriad forms in his spring 2014 Theyskens' Theory collection—one of the strongest and best he has shown for this label, incidentally. When the young Belgian designer arrived on the scene in Paris from Brussels at the end of the nineties, his look, all gothic black leather, ushered out all that softness whichever way you took it, grunge or glam. The slip, well, it just slipped away.
Yet those early Theyskens collections also possessed a dark romanticism, and to greater or lesser degrees, there have been echoes of that in his designs for Theory ever since he started there. For spring, he took that heady, evocative mood and combined it with all sorts of ways to think about the slip—or the notion of the slip, with its fluttery, fragile, barely there feel—and an inventively cool approach to layering. So, for instance, he might have an oversized black leather tunic-y tee over black shorts—they were all over this collection, a nod to a very now idea of urban dressing—under a black chiffon shirt dress that grazed the floor, its slashed panels veiling and unveiling the legs as the model walked. Other times, the slip became a camisole to wear under one of those boy-girl jackets Theyskens does so well. And yet more shorts, layering a lean version over a cycling short, sometimes in a bright neon color; that intense hue repeated at the end of the show, with the closing looks of color-blocked sheer slips, dresses, and tees. The layering also took a more substantial turn, yet didn't swamp the body, with crop or cocoon sweaters over even more slips or shirtdresses, and longer-length sheer skirts, referencing as others have done these past few days (though less literally) another idea of the nineties. And every now and then, Theyskens would flash some ravishing prettiness at you, without it becoming too sweet. Consider the gorgeous white sequin dress in that longer mid-calf length that is, as far as New York is concerned, the length for next spring, which came layered over, yes, a diaphanous nothing of a white slip.
