- How to Read a Study Record
Delirium after cardiac surgery is reported in a range of 3-47% of patients. Delirium is a serious complication that results in prolonged length of stay, increased health care costs and is associated with higher death rates. The exact cause involved in the development of delirium after cardiac surgery is unclear. The latest advancement in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) Oximetry offers real-time management of patients at risk of brain injury. This approved device will monitor cerebral oxygenation during and 24hr after cardiac surgery, recording oxygenation in real time allowing the clinical team the opportunity to intervene early to prevent ischemia and possibly preventing untoward events. Adverse events followed include, but are not limited to, stroke, (transient ischemic attacks), heart attack, (myocardial infarction), clots found in lungs (pulmonary embolism), kidney failure, pneumonia, cause of death for 30-days after surgery (all cause mortality).
Hypothesis: Perioperative restoration of rSO2 desaturation to baseline values results in lower delirium rates after complex cardiac surgery.

Active Comparator: Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy
Bilateral NIRS (The INVOS® Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter)will be used to measure rSO2 intraoperatively and during the 24h postoperative period in the intensive care unit. In the intervention group, an alarm threshold at 75% of the baseline rSO2 value will be established.
Device: Cerebral oximetry monitor (The INVOS® Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter)
In the intervention group, an alarm threshold at 75% of the baseline rSO2 value will be established. Based on predetermined algorithm the rSO2 will be maintained at or above 75% of the baseline measurements.Other: An alarm threshold at 75% of the baseline rSO2 value
If the threshold of < 75% from baseline is reached for > 1 minute an algorithm geared to restore rSO2 to baseline levels will be implemented.
No Intervention: Blinded Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy
In the control group, the NIRS monitor screen will be electronically blinded, however, the recording will be continuous after verification of the signal strength and baseline value by an independent observer trained in NIRS application and unaware of the study design.

As Congress and the White House scrambled in the fall of 2008 to confront the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression, Mitt Romney felt compelled to say what many in his native Michigan would consider heresy: Do not bail out the troubled American automakers.
Government checks would not solve the car companies' long-term problems, Mr. Romney wrote in an opinion article that he asked The New York Times to publish. The better path, he suggested, was a court-administered restructuring that would leave the companies with costs more in line with the global competition. The article carried the headline "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," which critics continue to use against him.
General Motors and Chrysler did eventually enter bankruptcy, and the headline was written by an editor, not by Mr. Romney. Yet more than three years later, the position he took still leaves many of his allies in the business world befuddled. It has also opened up an awkward distance between Mr. Romney and some top Republicans in his native state who insist that the $80 billion assistance plan completed by the Obama administration, expanding on steps taken by President George W. Bush, was the only viable path to save the carmakers from ruin.
But in that tumultuous moment — just after President Obama's election but before he took office — Mr. Romney had both personal and political reasons to speak out.
He wrote of the experience of his father, George Romney, who as the head of American Motors had turned that company around, and he drew on his own experience as a private equity manager who had remade companies through bankruptcy. At a time when the bank bailout program that Congress passed six weeks earlier had left many on the right angry and concerned that the response to the financial crisis was undercutting free markets, Mr. Romney's position was in sync with a desire among conservatives to draw the line against further government intervention.Continue reading the main story
Whether his opposition to the bailout plays as the kind of principled stand that Tea Party voters find reassuring or as an example of the cold, ruthless brand of capitalism that his opponents charge is responsible for his fortune will help determine how Mr. Romney fares in Michigan's primary on Feb. 28 and likely beyond.
The Michigan Republican primary electorate is expected to be very conservative, defined at least as much by the kinds of conservatives who recoil at government bailouts and are suspicious of union power as it is by those with a more direct stake in the auto industry's rebound.
"He gets attacked and mischaracterized for wanting to let Detroit die, and that's not the case," said Speaker Jase Bolger of the Michigan House, a Republican who represents a district near Battle Creek on the state's conservative western side. He said Mr. Romney's opposition to the auto rescue on principle could do the candidate more good than harm among primary voters.
"Autos are such an important part of Michigan's heritage, but many people saw this as a government intervention that wasn't going to cure the problem," Mr. Bolger added.
The politics of the bailout and the industry's comeback remain complex and not limited to Detroit. After the Michigan primary, the nominating contest moves into states where the automotive industry also has a significant presence: Alabama, Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee.
Some Republicans have criticized Mr. Romney's insistence that federal intervention was wrongheaded as an example of what they see as his willingness to say anything to win over skeptical conservatives.
"He's playing the same song as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck," said Bob Lutz, a former vice chairman for General Motors who said he was still so upset with Mr. Romney that he had cast his absentee ballot in Michigan for Rick Santorum.
"I think all of us in the auto industry who knew what the situation was were profoundly disappointed and, I would say, angry," Mr. Lutz said. "We all saw it for what it was, which was a political ploy to the right."
The Obama campaign sees a potential advantage and is moving to seize it. An Obama campaign official said allies will be dispatched across Michigan this week to hold news conferences raising Mr. Romney's opposition to the auto company loans and attacking his economic policies as beneficial to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
Mr. Romney has defended his 2008 plan, most prominently in an opinion article last week for The Detroit News, as essentially a blueprint for the path that Detroit ended up taking. "The course I recommended was eventually followed," he wrote.
His 2008 opinion article advocated a managed bankruptcy process, one that would help General Motors and Chrysler shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. He also called for profit-sharing with the unions and for the federal government to invest in new fuel economy technology.
All of those things eventually happened, as Mr. Romney said. Chrysler went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2009. General Motors' filing followed in June. But Mr. Romney's detractors say his defense falls apart at "eventually."
To go through the bankruptcy process, both companies needed billions of dollars in financing, money that auto executives and government officials who were involved with Mr. Obama's auto task force say was not available at a time when the credit markets had dried up. The only entity that could provide the $80 billion needed, they say, was the federal government. No private companies would come to the industry's aid, and the only path through bankruptcy would have been Chapter 7 liquidation, not the more orderly Chapter 11 reorganization, these people said.
In fact, the task force asked Bain Capital, the private equity company that Mr. Romney helped found, if it was interested in investing in General Motors' European operations, according to one person with direct knowledge of the discussions.
Bain declined, this person said, speaking anonymously to discuss private negotiations.
Mr. Romney's Republican allies in Michigan are seeking to shift attention to other topics.
"I think too much time has been spent on this issue," said Gov. Rick Snyder, who has endorsed Mr. Romney but differs with him on the bailout.
Mr. Romney's position that General Motors and Chrysler should have immediately filed for bankruptcy without receiving federal assistance, Mr. Snyder said in an interview, was an option that some Republicans found more palatable than providing billions in loans.
"I wouldn't judge either one as a wrong answer," Mr. Snyder added. "One got done. And it's behind us."
But while Mr. Romney's position could resonate among grass-roots conservatives, it continues to rankle Republicans in the auto industry.
"I fully support an entrepreneurial, free-enterprise capitalist system that must include failure and the consequences of failure," said Mike Jackson, chief executive and chairman of AutoNation, the largest auto retailer in the country. "I think the American people in principle agree with Mitt Romney. Unfortunately, we were in the midst of a historic, catastrophic, financial meltdown. And it was one of those moments where the reality trumped your principles. You had to hold your nose."
Mr. Jackson, who said he had voted for Mr. Romney in the Florida primary last month, called the candidate's position on the bailout "a circle that can't be squared."
Mr. Romney's position is fraught on other levels. As an example of how many different constituencies it touches in sometimes awkward ways, one of his major campaign donors, Stephen A. Feinberg, benefited from the bailout. Mr. Feinberg's firm, Cerberus Capital Management, owned Chrysler when the government stepped in.
Mr. Romney's campaign sees some potential advantages beyond a resonance with small-government conservatives in his continuing insistence that the federal government should have stayed out of the car business. They say it demonstrates consistency, a trait Mr. Romney's critics often say he lacks because of reversals on issues like abortion.Continue reading the main story

R&D Sponsored by
Editor's note: This article is from a two-partseries that originally ran in the February 2013 issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine. All rights reserved.
The following dialogue is based on a presentation given by Katerina Steventon, PhD, (KS) at the Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference on June 12, 2012, in London. It establishes a conversation with Steve Barton (SB), a skin biologist with Skin Thinking Ltd., to discuss concerns and perceptions of British consumers related to skin care. Barton has extensive experience working with marketing teams to improve communication of skin care benefits to consumers by initiating communication between the consumer and the product developer.
KS: As a skin care consultant promoting skin health, my credibility stems from achieving results and alleviating skin concerns. The challenge is to find products that truly deliver visible benefits; there is not a single brand on the market that can address all skin types.
SB: You make two good points. I agree that credibility and satisfying (all) consumer needs are vital for sustainable success in cosmetic development; credibility with dermatological professionals and regulators is also present. However, I do believe visible benefits are being delivered to our consumers, and your struggle to find products that "truly deliver visible benefits" may be reflection of a "clinician's" view. This has encouraged "clinical testing" on cosmetics, which, by definition, target (overall) appearance with no requirement for clinical change. This is further complicated since consumer self-assessment includes both emotional and rational judgments; some degree of "placebo effect" is evident for cosmetics. On the second point, the consumer's needs comprise diverse characteristics under the skin aging umbrella. Developers work hard to understand the consumer's needs, but satisfying all these needs, even within one range, may be an unreasonable expectation. While this is difficult, companies now advertise products tested on a range of ethnicities.
KS: The British facial skin care market has a value of approximately £1 billion (£0.88 billion in 2010), and is still growing despite the recession. Consumers pay attention to aging concerns in uncertain economic times, and the anti-aging category is strong. Launches with anti-aging claims, as defined by Mintel, are rising in the U.K., but usage of anti-aging skin care is lower in the U.K. than in the rest of Western Europe. The target group of consumers for anti-aging skin care is age 35+, specifically 45–65. Consumers are looking for these essential claims: moisturization (90%), anti-aging (32%) and radiance (6%). Desirable claims include "green, ethical, sustainable and botanical" with certification.
SB: Another challenge for a [product developer] is the definition of anti-aging skin care. Are all anti-aging claims the same? By analogy, hair conditioning was only credible as something separate to shampooing 30 year ago, but conditioning shampoos are common in today's market. Consumer experience has made this credible, but conditioners offer consumers more intensive sensory and objectively measured results. All facial moisturizers could be defined as anti-aging, as the majority will improve skin hydration and condition—key components of improving the signs of skin aging.
Like hair conditioners, there are high performance skin products that are desired by many consumers. The [product developer] must determine what type of anti-aging the consumer expects, be it protection, maintenance, improvement, dullness, wrinkles or uneven pigmentation.
The summary of the "essential claims" demonstrates the diversity of cosmetic end-points, and consumers will define these differently. These are rarely mutually exclusive or independent end-points, so "targeting" this with technology is rarely precise. Likewise, the techniques chosen to assess aged skin are rarely direct measures of one characteristic. [Product developers] have to decide which aspects to test and communicate to their consumers—simplifying the message and fulfilling expectation is a skill.
The "desirable" claims highlighted, again, have a strong emotional connection. The [product developer] often struggles to fulfill these needs without compromising on sensorial and performance criteria.
KS: Skin is a visible organ of emotional expression and social communication. Skin condition impacts the perception of others and an individual's self-esteem. Aging baby boomers have grown old in a society fascinated with youth, beauty and celebrity. Dissatisfaction with facial appearance can cause distress, low self-esteem and compromised relationships. Our society views visible aging differently from internal diseases. Aging women, in particular are paid less attention and visual contact, making them feel invisible. They perceive greater pressure to look youthful at work, despite age discrimination legislation. Exposure to the ideal images in the media is detrimental at times to greater self-monitoring such as during menopause.
SB: This issue has received a lot of attention lately. We should continue to explore changing consumer needs and attitudes to skin aging, appearance and health since the emotional component of anti-aging is as important as the technological. It is also clear that within these issues there is a broad range of responses in consumers, as some strive for perfection (whether idealized in their own minds, society or advertising) while others will accept the inevitability of skin aging. The challenge for the [product developer] is how to fulfill these needs, demonstrate success and communicate this by connecting to the consumer's emotional needs.
KS: There is little consensus on skin type definitions in the scientific community. British women are least likely to report dry skin compared to other European women. While 16% say they have dry skin, 38% report they have normal skin (50% > 65+) and 28% report combination skin. However, many women incorrectly diagnose their skin type. Women with oily skin (6%), prone to negative perception in the society, demonstrate better judgment in assessing their skin type. Up to 40% of the adult population suffers from low level acne. Cultural differences play a role in skin type assessment; however, other influencing factors include seasons, smoking, stress, nutrition, medication, hormonal changes and inadequate skin care routines.
SB: Without clear definitions of skin types, this should not be surprising. From a technical standpoint, dry/oily/combination/normal give only directional guidance to potential solutions. There have been some attempts to improve on this. As the industry learns more about changes in skin condition with time, geography and ethnicity, brain-skin interaction and the genetic component of skin aging, the industry's knowledge of consumer expectations and the ability of a product to fulfill consumer needs lags behind our knowledge of the potential routes to changing their skin. There is a need to simplify processes of skin aging to improve expectations for better defined consumer subgroups.
KS: The characteristics of the U.K. skin care market are pragmatism, comfort and convenience. The British skin care culture is low key and convenience driven. Time constraints dominate, making cleansing wipes and all-in-one products popular. However, there is a high penetration of moisturizers in the U.K. market with 86% of consumers using a face cream and 48% using an anti-aging cream. As British women do not understand the importance of a night cream, only 34% use it. People ask for no-hype claims and informed choice, as they want to make an independent decision. Cognitively, they consider the data on efficacy important but skin care choice is an emotional decision. Relaxed, comfortable and convenient product concepts are successful. Also, slow-paced Internet retail experience and personalized advice are valued.
SB: So we agree that the balance between communicating on both emotional and rational bases is important for [product developers] and marketers who want to fulfill consumer needs and increase their market share.

Scott Ray dies in Boulder
August 9, 2012
Scott Lee Ray, 51, passed way Aug. 2 in Boulder after a brave battle with cancer. Born on May 11, 1961, in Orange, Calif., it was the beginning of an adventurous and passionate life. He traveled from California to the mountains of Montana with many other states along the way, ending in Colorado. He served four years in the U.S. Navy as a boiler technician. Later, he became a journeyman carpenter and spent his last 15 years as a "phenomenal heavy equipment operator with a touch of stubbornness" (Chris Jones, Wanzek Construction). Several of Scott's recent years were spent being an integral part of many Windmill Farm construction projects throughout the country to include Puerto Rico. Throughout his ethical hard work, those who came in contact with him learned that he was a passionate and meticulous worker who desired to make a difference.
Scott was preceded in death by his step-father, William G. Green and is survived by his best friend/partner, Judy Lozano from Boulder; his mother, Karen Currier from Martinez, Ga.; brother, Bill Green from Fallbrook, Calif.; sisters Paula Boll from Blythe, Ga. and Michelle Corvacchioli of Fairfax, Va.
Scott was cremated Aug. 6 at Crist Mortuary in Boulder. A memorial burial service will be held at Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Missoula, Mont. on May 11, 2013. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or Hospice of Boulder and Broomfield Counties.

This Is How Olympic Divers Really Look While Diving
One of the highlights of the 2012 Olympics was the diving. There was stiff competition that year, especially in the preliminary rounds, and all the athletes were killing themselves trying to look as graceful as possible while tumbling through the air. How do we know? There's something on each diver's face that just reads, "This stunt is kind of difficult to do."
These competitors may look like elegant swans from a distance, but when the camera gets right up close for those slow-motion instant replays, not one of them is capable of hiding the pain in their faces.
If diving isn't the one event you're looking forward to watching during the 2012 Olympics, it will be after you're done browsing through this gallery of all the best diver faces.

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
The term 'obsessive-compulsive' may have become part of our general lingo, yet for many people it's a very real disorder they and their families have to learn to live with.
Between 2% and 3% of the population have some form of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) – and many started showing signs as early as the age of five or younger, says clinical psychologist Dr Emily O'Leary of the Brisbane OCD Clinic.
But she urges caution and for parents not to panic if their toddler is showing repetitive behaviours or a need for order.
"It's normal behaviour for toddlers, for example, to line up their blocks or repeat activities. This can be how they learn, or rituals they use to self-soothe," says Emily.
If a child has an OCD most parents will be able to tell, says Emily. Children more at risk of developing anxiety disorders like OCD are those who are more highly anxious .
"This is not a behaviour, it is an anxiety disorder. I like to describe it as that some kids just have an extra dollop of anxiety which can become an obsessive-compulsive disorder," she says.
"These children may have always found it harder to deal with change and other stresses, and found it more difficult to quickly and effectively self-soothe."
The important thing, she stresses, is that parents who have any concerns seek some early advice from a professional trained in such childhood anxiety disorders, as soon as possible.
"Like many mental illnesses, early intervention is the key," she says. "Left untreated OCD can become a really disabling disorder for children."
Only a medical professional will be qualified to diagnose your child as suffering from OCD. But there are signs to look out for that might indicate OCD. These include:
Some OCD specialists suggest that if a child loses more than an hour a day to any of these activities, and if the need for repetitive behaviour causes marked distress or significantly interferes with normal routines, relationships or social functioning, then this a sign that help is needed.
The most common treatment for kids is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), Emily says, which helps the child learn to change his reactions to the obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
Drug therapies, like anti-depressants, are not normally used to treat children but may be a course of action for adolescents.

Natrelle® Breast Implants Important Information
Who may get breast implants (INDICATIONS)?
Natrelle® Breast Implants are approved for women for the following:
Who should NOT get breast implants (CONTRAINDICATIONS)?
Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body, with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions, and women who are currently pregnant or nursing.
What else should I consider (WARNINGS)?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices or necessarily a one-time surgery. You may experience unacceptable dimpling, puckering, wrinkling, or other cosmetic changes of the breast, which may be permanent. Breast implants may affect your ability to produce milk for breastfeeding. Silicone-filled implants may rupture without symptoms. You should have MRI examinations 3 years after surgery and then every 2 years thereafter in order to detect ruptures. Symptoms of a ruptured implant may be hard knots or lumps surrounding the implant or in the armpit, change or loss of size or shape of the breast or implant, pain, tingling, swelling, numbness, burning or hardening. Talk to your doctor about removing ruptured implants. Inform any other doctor if you have implants.
What types of conditions require more study (PRECAUTIONS)?
Caution: Notify your doctor if you have any of the following conditions, as the risks of breast implant surgery may be higher: autoimmune diseases, a weakened immune system, planned radiation therapy to the breast or planned chemotherapy following breast implant placement, conditions/medications that interfere with wound healing and blood clotting, reduced blood supply to breast tissue or a clinical diagnosis of depression, other mental health disorders, body dysmorphic disorder or eating disorders. These disorders should be resolved or stabilized prior to surgery.
What are some complications with breast implants (COMPLICATIONS)?
Key complications are reoperation, implant removal with or without replacement, implant rupture with silicone-filled implants, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture (severe scar tissue around the implant). Other complications include asymmetry, nipple/breast/skin sensation changes, scarring or wrinkling/rippling. Talk to your doctor about other complications.
Talk to your doctor. For more information see the Patient Brochures at www.allergan.com/labeling/usa.htm or call the Allergan Product Support line at 1-800-433-8871.
To report a problem with Natrelle®, please call Allergan Product Surveillance at 1-800-624-4261.

CIRENCESTER Golf Club's annual senior foursomes was played on Monday, February 17, with Robert Evans and Mike Kirman coming out on top after countback.
In damp conditions, the course stood up well and three pairs ended level after each scoring 39 stableford points.
Neighbours and close friends Evans and Kirman were awarded the title after countback, however, ahead of John Hall and Evan Drayton in second and Keith Greenwood and Colin Gilbert in third.
Former Ciren seniors captain, David Findlay, and Andrew Somerville scored 36 points to come home fourth.
The foursomes trophy was presented to the winners by Mick Barham, who initiated the competition in his senior captain's year a decade ago.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Why are my Panic Attacks Getting Worse?
I am in my mid twenties and have been suffering from panic attacks for 2 years now. I was on medication for about a year, which seemed to help for a while. However, now that I am not on the medication anymore (Which has been aprx 3 months now) the panic attacks have become increasingly worse in severity, length, and frequency.They may occur 3 or 4 times a day lately. I understand how to breath and stay calm and not let the feelings completley overwhelm me, and I have been quite successful at doing this, what is bothering me though is that along with the feelings of not being able to breath, becoming lightheaded, sweating,and having trouble seeing, I am now getting extremely bad headaches, am having great difficulty thinking and concentrating and feel like I am going to lose conciousness quite often. I am having a horrible time driving very far from my house now, and am finding it even harder to drive at night. What should I do? I am thinkning of changing my primary care physician, what questions should I be asking, and what treatmnet options should I consider?
Many people with anxiety disorders need medication, counseling or both for extended periods of time (often 1 - 2 years at least). It is not unusual for symptoms to return when treatment ends, especially if it ends too soon. If you are dissatisfied with your current primary care provider, then certainly it is appropriate to look for another one. You want someone who is experienced diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders.
If you did not also see a mental health provider like a counselor, therapist or psychologist previously, then I would recommend doing so. While both medications like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, like sertaline and fluoxetine) and counseling (especially cognitive behavioral counseling) are effective treatments for anxiety disorders, research has shown that the most lasting effects come from using a combination of counseling and medication.
Anxiety disorders often wax and wane. At times, they cause few if any problems for a person, while other times in one's life they can be quite debilitating. While an occasional person has one episode of anxiety and never suffers again, it is more common for anxiety disorders to have some persistence in life. If you begin experiencing symptoms again, it is appropriate to seek help again.
Good luck.

MIDDLETOWN -- The Middletown Mustangs limped to the conclusion of their 2012 season Friday night with a 36-23 loss to St. Mary's of Albion in the first round of the North Coast Section Division IV playoffs at Bill Foltmer Field.
Let the record show that the Mustangs (7-4) succumbed to a siege of attrition. Foltmer wasn't sure it was four or five two-way starters who were missing or nursing injuries. Included in that group was their diminutive quarterback, Ben Pike, who played most of the game with injured ribs. He was being treated by paramedics on the sidelines as time ran out.
"The kid had (involuntary) tears in his eyes," Foltmer said of the 5-foot-8 Pike. "He was hurting. But the guy's just a warrior. I'm so proud of him. Even with his ribs hurting he threw critical passes that set up touchdowns. He battled tonight."
Although Middletown managed to score first after recovering a fumble on the 1-yard-line in the first minute of the second quarter and then reassumed the lead at 23-21 late in the third quarter, the Mustangs couldn't match the balanced offense presented by the passing of Panther quarterback Kevin Flemer and the bullish rushes of fullback Aiden Shockley. Flemer threw for four touchdowns, boosting his total to a glossy total of 30 for the year. For the game he completed 11 of 21 attempts for 172 yards. Shockley, who gained most of the Panthers' meaningful yards, ground out 104 yards on 18 carries. His backfield mate, Lorenzo Logwood, led the team with 105 yards on 17 carries.
The Panthers (6-5) took command of the game once and for all by scoring two unanswered TDs in the last 13:27, first on a 5-yard Flemer to Caleb Coleman link-up to cap an up-tempo, no-huddle 75-yard, 12 play drive with 1:27 remaining in the third quarter, and again on an 11-yard run by Logwood with three minutes remaining in the game.
The latter TD was a gift that followed a critical Mustang fumble covered by Panther linebacker James Jack Johnson at the Middletown 25. Up until then Middletown had a shot, however faint, of winning.
"I thought that was the key to the game," said Foltmer. "We're only down a touchdown (29-23) and we were moving it, but the fumble was it right there. I felt confident that we could have moved the ball on the drive."
Foltmer might have been in a minority for believing that. The banged-up Mustangs were playing limply at that point. They had the ball at their own 23 after a St. Mary's punt and 4:57 left to play. But they didn't have Pike, who had nothing left to give, and their two preceding offensive series were both three-and-out -- all of which became academic when they fumbled the ball on first down. The Mustangs finished unattractively, fumbling on three consecutive plays and dropping a pass.
The best thing that can be said is that the Mustangs finished on a high note at least so far as running back Austin Benson is concerned, giving hope for the future. Benson, a junior, scored all three of Middletown's TDs on runs of 1, 13 and 2 yards and added a 2-point conversion while rushing for 78 yards.
There was, of course, jubilation on the Panther bench.
"It was a great game, the first time we won a playoff game in four years," said St. Mary's coach Keith Minor, whose charges appear far better than a team that finished the regular season 5-5 and will meet No. 1 seed Justin-Siena in Napa in the quarterfinals next week. "We got one more week. We have to get after it. They (Justin-Siena) gave us the business earlier in the year. Hopefully we can come at 'em and do something good this time."

I bought the Burley Nomad about a month ago. It is a high quality product all around, rides so smooth I had to check to see if it was still attached! It holds everything I hoped. I use it for day trips to the beach and carry a grill, cooler, and other items. Highly recommended!
Took it on a cross country ride be nice if it locks to prevent other people from going through it. Bought it in Houston Texas and the bottom is already beginning to tear has few holes after 2000 miles.
I'm mostly happy with the product. It is easy to use, light and rolls well. However, I'm worried about the quality of the canvas material. We already have two wholes in the sides since the wheels have touched the sides when cycling. The canvas seems to be too thin both in sides and at the bottom. I'd like to have ticker canvas especially at the bottom. If you have some heavier, sharp goods they can easily make holes to the canvas.
16. juni 2017 14:09 I bought my first Nomad back in the early 2000s and over the years it has taken me on numerous tours around Europe. From the Atlantic coast to the Rockies, my Burley Nomad was my trusted companion. It withstood the trials and tribulations of gravel roads, dirt tracks, whatever. The Nomad never flinched! It has been packed and filled to the brim. Weight has never been an issue. The Burley Nomad simply marched on! Last year I decided to upgrade to the most recent version and I wasn't disappointed. Whilst my old friend relaxed in the garage licking her wounds, my new companion and I set out on a new adventure throughout Europe. The famous bike tourer, The Frod, ditched his cycle bags and BOB trailer and got himself a brand new Nomad and came along. He hasn't looked back since! The Burley Nomad folks, it doesn't get better than this! See enclosed bike touring video "Where Frods Dare!" and you'll see what I mean.
Have owned this trailer for over a year. Have used it for grocery runs and have had no problem hauling twenty pounds of provisions home. On our recent 200-plus mile C&O trail trip, we found the trailer indestructible. We suffered five flats in five days on our bikes but the trailer came through the experience unscathed. Great product, highly recommended.
I mostly use it to carry things to the local airport to work on my plane or go flying. I tow it behind my recumbent Trike and don't even know it's there unless I see it in the rear view mirror. The cover is great also. The two things that I have needed to change are the flag holder and the interior base. The flag base just sticks into a slot in the fabric. The flag is tall and with any cross wind at all it can bend way over into the opposing bike lane and could also whack pedestrians without you even knowing it. I just use the 1/2 length and that is fine as I have a tall flag on the Trike. The bottom of the carrier is just fabric material and I would worry about heavy items tearing a seam and falling through. I just made a cardboard cutout out of the box it arrived in and inserted it in the bottom to provide more support.
the unit is well made and appears durable I will try some bicycle camping this spring.
I did not do any comparison shopping when I bought this Burley trailer because I was happy with the one I bought 26 years ago. Burley changed the hitch which on the old trailer was one of the its strong points. As I have two bikes, switching between them will cost me another $25 dollars to buy an extra hitch or I will be disassembling the rear axle every time. The rack I added for the trailer seems to be of a lower quality. The instructions for mounting it were very poor. The push buttons to extend and lower the rack for accessing the cargo is very poor quality and hard to work at times. The material at the front has already ripped at the corner. It seems to be a stress point that needs reinforcement. I do like the ease of removing the wheels and hitch arm for storage/transporting. The trailer frame seems to be of a higher quality than the rack.
I bought the Burley Nomad so I can haul food and a beverage to have a picnic at the park and some other things as well. I love it a lot.
Well built product with well thought design. Easy to use.

A GUNMAN was on the run in Melbourne's eastern suburbs on Tuesday night after an armed robbery in Croydon.
Police were hunting the man, who is believed to have robbed a gaming venue with a partner on Dorset Road about 10am on Tuesday.
The pair, who were both armed and wearing disguises, stole cash and were leaving the Dorset Gardens venue when police arrived.
Police recovered a firearm on Mount Dandenong Road about 3.15pm on Tuesday. It is believed the weapon may be linked to the armed robbery. Earlier, a car chase started and one of the offenders pointed a firearm at police while they were being pursued.
The offenders stopped their car and were chased on foot by police, who were again threatened with a firearm. One man was then arrested but the other fled.
A resident confronted the man with a baseball bat after he scaled his fence, but police could not confirm any other sightings.
No shots had been fired and the police and gaming venue patrons were unharmed.
Heavily armed police from the special operations group and the critical incident response team were involved in the manhunt. Superintendent Graeme Arthur said police were going door-to-door in the area, and he was confident a cordon was established quickly enough to have trapped the man, who was wearing a white hooded top and black tracksuit pants.
Police are analysing the gaming venue, the getaway car and the dumped clothing of one of the offenders. It is unclear how much cash was stolen or whether the man, described as ''extremely dangerous'', was still armed.
''He needs to be apprehended, he needs to be caught and we need public information to assist us in capturing him,'' Superintendent Arthur said. ''We're trying to ensure the offender has not left the area, we believe we had the area cordoned off fairly quickly so there was a good chance of actually apprehending him.
''He could lay low for a number of hours, so all we can do is do a house-to-house search of the area we've blocked off and hope for the best. The difficulty is that there's a number of people away on holidays, a number of people still at work, so we're concerned that someone might come home and find him in the yard.''
Superintendent Arthur said the arrested man was 20 years old, but could not confirm the suburb he was from or whether he had told police the identity of his accomplice.

Bill Would Have School Districts Graded On A-F Scale
A bill bestowing familiar-looking A through F grades on Ohio school districts, buildings and specialty programs is headed to likely passage in the Ohio Senate.
The Senate Education Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill Tuesday, with Senate passage expected this week.
The bill would give letter grades to school districts, school buildings, community schools, STEM schools and college-preparatory boarding schools based on 13 performance measures.
The grades would replace the current five-tier system of ratings: excellent, effective, continuous improvement, academic watch, and academic emergency. The process would begin with a "dashboard" of letter grades available to the public but no overall grade for districts this coming year.
Community schools serving mostly academically challenged students would see a different scale developed.
The bill already cleared the Ohio House.

We continue our Toy Story 3 home video release celebration with an intimate chat with two of its creators: Director Lee Unkrich and Producer Darla K. Anderson.
FIGURES.COM: What are your feelings about Toy Story and the fifteen year history we've all had with the franchise - and now with Toy Story 3 rounding it out?
FIGS: What's the secret to the storytelling at Pixar that makes it so treasured by the audience?LEE UNKRICH: That movie represents for us, those who have been with the studio a long time, the beginnings of the studio. John [Lasseter] and Ed [Catmull] had dreams for making feature films using computer graphics when nobody thought that was anything that could be done. It wasn't realistic. And of course, we did it with Toy Story and we're the first to do it so that film will always remain especially special to us even though we've made a lot of different films over the years. Toy Story is the beginning of it all, not only for Pixar, but for the whole industry.
Of course when John asked me to direct Toy Story 3 and Darla to produce it, it was a responsibility we didn't take lightly at all. We were really, really nervous about having to make a third Toy Story for a lot of reasons and we're both so happy to be sitting here now on the other side of it. Thank God. [laughs]
For me, I'm so happy that people love the movie as much as they do and I'm happy it's done really well but ultimately the thing I'm most relieved at is that we didn't screw it up. We didn't make a film that sullied that experience in anyway. I know that the Toy Story films are so special to a lot of people - they hold them very dear. We had people reaching out while we were making the movie saying, "Don't screw this up!"
When we were making Toy Story 2, we knew we were doing that against all odds. At the time we would say, "Well, what good second movies are there?" and there weren't very many. There's the Godfather Part II and Empire Strikes Back.
In the case of Toy Story 3, it felt completely masochistic of us that we would take on doing a third one.
DARLA K. ANDERSON: But we both wanted to. We've been at Pixar for so long we both wanted to be custodians of these characters and the franchise.
LEE: Right. But it was honestly that fear of screwing it up on some level that helped make it good or at least primed it for success. We came into work every single day not resting on our laurels, trying to make it be the best movie it could possibly be.
FIGS: What is it about Pixar that really sets it apart from Hollywood?LEE: Well, it's a lot of things. On one level there's the nostalgia factor. People have a lot of satisfaction watching the characters interact together after so many years. For us they feel like family members. It's like any great sitcom too, you enjoy seeing that mix of characters interact so we had that going for us. But on another level we tried to infuse our own lives into the movies as much as we could, tried to have universal ideas. We all have to say good-bye to things that we love in life, no one can escape that, so we saw this as an opportunity to explore that idea, that universal human experience. People love that they can go to a Toy Story film and they know they're going to hopefully laugh their butts off and it'll be crazy and wildly entertaining, but at the same time it'll pack in an emotional wallop. I would never want to make a movie that was just funny. It's fine, but it's disposable. Like eating potato chips. But when you can give them something more, something they can think about or relate to, that's the kind of movie that ends up sticking and feeling worthy of being in the world.
DARLA: These characters are so real to us and we try really hard to make them entertaining.
FIGS: What can you tell us about the Toy Story 3 toys? Anything new coming our way?LEE: You know what I think we have that other studios don't focus on? We have this collective of filmmakers and directors at the studio: Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, Brad Bird, John Lasseter... And we regularly get together and look at each other's work. And we're really hard on each other's work. We're very honest critically. That just grew out of when we were the group of people making the first Toy Story, that's just how we worked with each other. We trusted each other and we were all comfortable giving hard notes. You know, you leave your egos at the door and it's all about trying to make a good movie. I don't think there's another studio that has that kind of system in place where you have different filmmakers getting together and looking at each other's work regularly. I mean, we do this every few months on every project at the studio.
We have the right people. I don't know if you can engineer it again if you wanted to. If you look at any great band, why did that band come together the way it did? You have the right people to create that thing that people responded to. A lot of people try to do it and fail. There's just something really lucky about the right people at the studio that came together at that moment in time. We complement each other well but there's no guarantee. Just because we've done it doesn't mean we'll be able to continue to.
People think that we know what we're doing because we've had the success; we know how to do some things or at least we've learned from a lot of our mistakes over the years. We've just managed to fix our mistakes and fix our problems before the world has seen them. We've gone through the same thing everybody goes through in trying to craft a story and make a movie. We just have a safer environment to screw up, fix it, and move on making it better. Not every one has that.
DARLA: Nothing is precious. Even if you've worked many, many years on something, it's hard to let it go if it's entertaining on its own, but if it's not working for the story as a whole, we get rid of it. That's strength because it's not easy to do that. Even if we spend a lot of time and money on it, if it's not working for the film we nix it.
FIGS: What are you working on now?LEE: Yeah, I don't know about all of them but definitely. I'm hoping we see more of the new characters. Toy companies are often scared of new things but now that the film is such a huge success... I'd like to see a full sized Big Baby.
LEE: We're still riding the wave of Toy Story 3 and having fun with that. Darla and I are going to work together again on another movie.
DARLA: What?! [laughs]
Toy Story 3 is now available on Blu-ray and DVD wherever fine home video is sold.

Perhaps yours doesn't. Ours does. And my teacher got another outline of the pith instructions from His Holiness Taklung Matul Rinpoche and theirs has the same breakdown.
The inferior intellect thing is in a previous section.
The verses are ordered differently in the various schools.
Not so. The part about the winds is for medium capacity, and karmamudra for inferior capacity.
Then according to you all Indian mahasiddhas are inferior capacity since they all used karmamudra for realization. Tibetan siddhas are somehow superior since the Kadampas discarded it. Even Milarepa and Marpa are inferior, according you, since they used karmamudra for realization.
I'm not making this up. Don't shoot the messenger.
That is not the same thing. Besides, the name Thogal and separating it out from Tregcho is sort of a new fangled invention.
Right, you heard that from me. Still, there is no thogal in the dohas.
I did hear that from you. Then I read that in the Oral Instructions of Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu that visions and natural state are not practiced separately. Only two of thirty something masters in Zhang Zhung even mention visions.
Why not? Padmavajra was circa 700-800 CE and so was Saraha I.
Padmavakra is mid 9th century -- 150 years after Saraha I. Saraha I did not have a human guru.
No the commentator is presenting it that Saraha was Padmakara's guru. Padmakara is another name for Padmasambhava.
That might be a nice point for discussion, and/or might impact what someone is practicing at lineage X, but I don't agree there are different 'od gsal types.
That's your bad, then.
Not really. Just because a yoga practice has the name 'od sgal, doesn't mean there are different 'od sgal. There is one singular reality.
We have already discussed this. As I pointed out to you, Gyalwa Yangonpa points out that Mahamudra is superior to 'od gsal because in the state of 'od gsal as described in sarma tantras and the six yogas of Naropa, there are no appearances.'od gsal is being used in different ways as relates to methods. I'm talking beyond two stages here.
Too late to change your tune.
I haven't
This supports what I'm saying.
Not really.
Totally dude.
Dzogchen has been inventive. Then, there's this stuff Saraha says in his Doha.
You are seeing mirages.
Quit talking about the black snake. I mean rope. Re mirages. I don't think so. Seems like a lot of "scriptural authority" is just so-called authority. The experience lineage talks real differnt.
I don't know.
All four schools have the Sahaja Mahamudra lineage. That is why a discussion of it is included in the Vima Nyinthig.
Sounds great on paper. In practice, it's impossible Nyingthig offers something above Sahaja Mahamudra, because it encompasses every appearance conditioned and unconditioned. Working with pure appearances is to get to the innate. The innate dissolves all appearances; so there's no advantage to working with some special kind.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- After an initial rejection by the school board, a group of Lake Avenue Elementary School parents are petitioning for the school to convert the 6,000-square-foot lot into fenced, permanent, plowable play space for the school's 428 children to use during the winter.
Seventy-five supporters had electronically signed the petition -- posted on change.org -- by Friday evening. The charge is being led by a group known as Lake Avenue Parents for Daily Outdoor Play, concerned about their children being kept inside all winter without an adequate space outdoors for them to play.
"Using the gym as a play space is no substitute for fresh air, nature and sunshine," said Charlie Samuels, who has two children attending the Lake Avenue school.
The issue first surfaced last year, when the district Board of Education decided all playground equipment would be off-limits each winter after the ground froze. The board recently turned control over to building principals, allowing them to decide when and where their students can go outside to play.
"The play structures are designed to be safe when set on nine to 12 inches of surfacing material," Greenfield Elementary School Principal Tina Davis said. "Children are much less likely to be injured on the surfacing than on concrete-hard frozen ground."
Greenfield Elementary School is fortunate to have extensive grounds, she said.
"If it's above 20 degrees Fahrenheit, we take the children outside," Davis said. "We have hills, so the kids can sleigh-ride and use snow toys like buckets and shovels."
The Lake Avenue Parents for Daily Outdoor Play contend their schoolchildren are the most deprived of outdoor space and time in the district. Lake Avenue Elementary was built as a high school, then converted into the city's junior high. When it morphed into an elementary school, the building became the lone campus in Saratoga Springs without easy access to large playing fields.
Parents in the Lake Avenue group say if their kids can't use the playground equipment, they want them to have more outdoor space in which to run around -- specifically the southside parking lot.
"This is a wonderful solution," Samuels said. "Its only stumbling block -- before the school board rejected the idea -- was a total of one truck driver, who told us he has no problem parking on the street to give the kids extra play space."
Delivery trucks are the main concern of the Board of Education's Property Administration Advisory Committee, which handles all issues with district buildings and grounds. Lake Avenue's cafeteria runs along the north side of the parking lot.
"We have trucks making deliveries for the Lake Avenue cafeteria," said Ernest J. Gailor, vice president of the Saratoga Springs district Board of Education and head of the Property Committee. "Children playing there would be dangerous."
"I think the school board has what I call 'liability paranoia,' " Samuels said.
Gailor said the Board of Education plans to offer a compromise to the parent group. The suggestion of closing the southside lot to traffic two days weekly, so the kids can play there. The other three days, the lot would be open only to delivery vehicles.
He said the board plans to offer this solution to Parents for Daily Outdoor Play at the next Board of Education meeting, which is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, at Greenfield Elementary School.

A shopaholic takes fashion and business into her own hands with her Margate-based traveling boutique.
Don't let Marissa Gelman's age and diminutive size fool you — at 23 and barely 5 feet tall, she runs her own women's clothing boutique offering the latest in couture and incorporating tzedakah into the fashion equation.
Most of the year, the Newtown, Bucks County, native is on the road as her fledgling pop-up boutique, Hangers & Highways, moves from college campuses to suburban living rooms to community events — with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.
But while Gelman's family — which has moved from Newtown to Lafayette Hill — enjoys summer on the beach in Margate, the trendsetter is staying put in a storefront on the bayside of the town. Although the Amherst Avenue location is blocks from Margate's main shopping area, dedicated fashionistas have been finding their way to the boutique set up next to a paddleboard business and a bait-and-tackle shop.
"The fishermen's wives come in, people walk their dogs," Gelman said. "It's off the beaten path, but word is spreading. You never know when people are going to walk in the door."
Jodi Piraino, a West Chester, Pa., resident renting in Margate for the summer, stops by often to see what's new. The Northeast Philadelphia native said she heard about Hangers & Highways by word of mouth. "The clothes are very chic-looking," Piraino said as she searched for something to wear for a night on the town.
Tracey Mattleman, a Holland, Pa., resident commuting to Margate on summer weekends, stopped by at the end of a beach day. "I like the prices and everything is so super-cute!" she said.
A former and longtime member of Newtown's Shir Ami Reform synagogue, Gelman was active in its youth group, which was directed by her mother, Randi Backall. After confirmation, the alumna of NFTY-PAR (North American Federation of Temple Youth, Pennsylvania Region) earned a certificate to teach religious school from Gratz College.
At the same time, Gelman was a fixture at Backall's Newtown boutique, Joie De Vivre, which opened in 2000 and closed in July 2013. "I worked in that store since forever!" Gelman said.
The Council Rock High School North Class of 2009 graduate majored in business communication at Arizona State University.
"I knew I wanted to be in fashion, but I also wanted to do business," said Gelman, who worked at the Nicole Miller boutique in Manayunk the summer before her senior year in college. After graduating from ASU in 2013, Gelman interned in New York for Shoshanna, the contemporary fashion line founded by Jerry Seinfeld's one-time girlfriend, Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss.
Gelman's business got started when her mother suggested bringing garments from her soon-to-close boutique to college campuses for sorority events — with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the participating sorority's pet charity. Before her internship ended, Gelman successfully tried out the concept at Towson University in Maryland, which her stepsister had attended.
By August 2013, Gelman had settled on the name Hangers & Highways. With $15,000 from Bat Mitzvah gifts and money earned in her mom's boutique, Gelman invested in inventory, garment bags, collapsible rolling racks and a pop-up dressing-room tent to transport in her SUV.
Hangers & Highways' first official event was sponsored by two sororities at Towson last September. Since then, Gelman's boutique has traveled as near as Temple and La Salle universities and as far as Cornell, Syracuse and the University of Massachusetts.
While many of the sororities are Jewish, Gelman caters to any group. She runs mother-daughter house parties and has popped up at Chanukah bazaars. Gelman usually gives 10 to 15 percent of her proceeds to the charity of the event sponsor's choice.
Gelman's inventory includes tops, bottoms, jumpsuits and dresses in easy-care, flowy fabrics with cut-out details and engaging patterns and silhouettes for women of all ages. Animal prints and pieces that can be dressed up or down are big in her boutique. Prices range from about $25 to $70.
Jewelry, from $6 to $50, includes delicate bracelets and chains featuring hamsas and other Jewish motifs, but there are also swingy earrings, trendy midi rings and chunkier statement necklaces.
"Since I usually spend my summers down here, I scouted a few locations and got lucky with this place. I only have to pay rent from May to the end of September, so it works out great," said Gelman.
The business is already profitable, with no overhead or rent except for summer. While profits from the Margate store are not earmarked for charity, Gelman hopes to bring her boutique to beach house parties and even to one of Margate's outdoor September events, with an eye toward giving some of the proceeds back to philanthropic organizations.
Gelman enjoys yoga and travel, but emphasizes that she is first and foremost a business-oriented shopaholic.
"I'm a big shopper. I'm constantly online, looking at new merchandise," she said. "Fashion is definitely big in my life."

Pregnant Duchess leaves hospital
The Duchess of Cambridge has left hospital, saying she was feeling ''much better'' after three days of treatment for a severe form of morning sickness.
Catherine emerged from the central London private hospital on Thursday, looking relaxed and with the Duke of Cambridge by her side.
The duchess was admitted on Monday after developing a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum, which leaves expectant mothers so ill they cannot keep food or liquids down.
But she looked well and even smiled briefly as she posed with Prince William on the steps of the King Edward VII hospital for the world's media.
When a member of the press asked how she was feeling, the Duchess, wrapped up against the cold in a coat and scarf and carrying a bouquet of yellow flowers, replied: ''Much better.''
The Prince of Wales said on Thursday he was ''thrilled'' that the duchess was pregnant, adding: ''It's a very nice thought to become a grandfather in my old age.''
Kate, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, will now have a period of rest at her home at Kensington Palace, said St James's Palace.The duchess's attendance at two royal engagements this weekend - a Centrepoint Royal Albert Hall fundraiser and the British Military Tournament - has been cancelled.
And it is likely her public diary will be tailored to how she is coping with the illness that causes prolonged bouts of vomiting triggered by smells and even movement.
Her discharge comes the day after it emerged two Australian radio DJs impersonated the Queen and the Prince of Wales to dupe hospital staff into giving a condition update on the Duchess on Tuesday.
The 2Day FM presenters, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, apologised for their actions, as did their radio station.
But Christian has been promoting their stunt on Twitter, telling followers in a tweet: ''Still haven't heard the #RoyalPrank that has the world talking? Listen to it here...''
According to reports, the Australian Communications and Media Authority has received complaints about the prank call, but said they should first be made to the licensee.
The presenters remarked during their show how their efforts were the ''easiest prank call ever made'', as they put on mock British accents they later described as ''terrible''.
