I remember this game! I was in college in Missouri. It wasn't originally a nationally televised game until he decided to come back. Sat in the dorm lounge with about 30 other people. As the only Pacers fan in the group, it was very satisfying that my team made sure his first game back was a loss!
man hibbert should go to rik smiths for some help on the offensive end.. watching smits on offense compared to Hibbert is like night and day, but then again smits wouldnt be able to help him with his agility and thats hibberts main problem, every move he makes even as simple as running seems so robotic
Impossible Is Nothing
Incorrect. The game had already been scheduled for NBC, although they made some coverage changes in the 24 hours warning they had.

"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Yeah, Reggie's I love Being The Enemy book is a diary of this very season. When the rumors of Jordan coming back surfaced, Reggie was holding out hope that he would chose to come back against the Pacers since it was a nationally televised NBC game.
Does anyone know how much scalpers were charging for this game? I bet it was through the roof.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
All I know is it wasn't going to be aired in Missouri until he announced his comeback.
Yeah... I always assumed Jordan picked the Pacers' game precisely because it was a nationally televised weekend game. And the Pacers were also a respected team at that point so it wouldn't look like he chose a cupcake for his return either.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."

This explains it. It must've been expanded to my area after his comeback was announced:
His decision to come back in this Sunday-afternoon game was fortuitous for NBC, which already had Chicago-Indiana on its broadcast schedule for 53% of the country. The network quickly expanded coverage to include all but the Charlotte and Salt Lake City markets, which saw the Charlotte Hornets-Utah Jazz contest. According to preliminary Nielsen figures, Jordan's return was easily NBC's most watched NBA regular-season telecast in five years, swamping CBS's competing NCAA coverage. (Jordan insisted that neither the network nor the NBA influenced his timing.)
Thanks for sharing that MRat! I'd say that $17 ticket was a pretty good value.
I was in attendance, I was a kid but have vivid memories of the game. I remember those wheaties signs.
*removed* Just keep politics and religion completely out of it, please.
We paid 200 for a pair of nosebleeds, it seemed like a reallllly good deal at the time.
*removed* Just keep politics and religion completely out of it, please.
I was at this game. I remember on the way to the arena talking with my stepmom about how much we could probably sell the tickets for. In the end, we decided it would be better to be a part of the history of his come back than sell the tickets. Great time.
I was at the game & frankly I have never understood why people refer to that as Micheal Jordan's comeback game.
To me that was the Dale Davis 20 rebound 5 block ruin the national media's hype day.
Looks like Byron Scott was huge for us off of the bench.
My grandfather took me, my brother, and my cousin. We had seats in the first row behind the Bulls bench. I can't remember how he got the tickets (Was Del Harris on their staff? They were close.) but that was a pretty amazing day looking back on it.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
3rd row across from the Pacers bench. Remember it like it was yesterday.
Where in Missouri did you go to college?
I wasn't in the arena but I was downtown for something else.
One thing I remember just walking by MSA was the sheer amount of media that had a presence there. I attended a lot of nationally televised games in person, and it seemed like for that game there were way more media trucks than usual. Or maybe not, I was 9 years old. There was definitely an electric feeling in the city that day though, I remember that for sure.
I wasn't there and was only 7 years old at time, but I bet there was more media at that game than any home game in Pacers history, including the Finals against the Lakers.
Also, those orange seats at MSA that they show in the intro were extremely ugly. The blue ones they replaced them with the next year looked infinitely better.
I was at that game. Wasn't that the game where Reggie sustained a leg injury - or was it someone else.
Overall it wasn't one of my favorite games. I just wanted the Pacers to win and some of the distraction of it all was annoying to me.
I think Jordan collided with Reggie. Reggie talked about it in his book.
Springfield. Central Bible College. Went there for a year and a half and then moved back to finish up at Ball State.

DETROIT - A Michigan university has released a list of words that deserve to be used more. For the fifth year in a row, Wayne State University's Word Warriors' program announced a top 10 list of "words worth reviving."
The school asked visitors to its website to nominate words they think should be brought back into popularity. According to the website, the university's "Word Warriors" believe people limit themselves to words that are "momentarily popular" or "broadly applicable." Since English has more words than any other language, the Word Warriors want people to use as many as possible.
The website says this year's top 10 words "should be brought back to enrich our language."
1. Buncombe: Rubbish; nonsense; empty or misleading talk.
What a relief to have the election over -- that great festival of buncombe that so distracted the nation for months.
2. Cerulean: The blue of the sky.
Her eyes were a clear, deep cerulean blue, like no eyes Trevor had ever seen, and looking into them made him feel lighter than air, as though he could fly, but even if he could have flown he would have stayed where he was, content just to look.
3. Chelonian: Like a turtle (and who doesn't like turtles?).
Weighed down by bickering and blather, the farm bill crept through Congress at a chelonian pace.
4. Dragoon: To compel by coercion; to force someone to do something they'd rather not.
After working in the yard all day, Michael was dragooned into going to the ballet instead of flopping down to watch the Red Wings on TV.
5. Fantods: Extreme anxiety, distress, nervousness or irritability.
Jeremy's love of islands was tempered by the fact that driving over high bridges always gave him the raging fantods.
6. Mawkish: Excessively sentimental; sappy; hopelessly trite.
To her surprise, Beth found Robert's words of love to be so mawkish that they made her feel sticky, as though she were being painted with molasses.
7. Natter: To talk aimlessly, often at great length; rarely, it means simply to converse.
You can tell our staff meetings are winding down when everybody starts nattering about their kids.
8. Persiflage: Banter; frivolous talk.
Emma hoped to get Lady Astor into a serious conversation, but as long as the King was around she could elicit only persiflage and gossip.
9. Troglodyte
Literally, a cave-dweller. More frequently a backward, mentally sluggish person.
Susan felt she could have saved the company if only the troglodytes in management had taken her advice.
10. Winkle: To pry out or extract something; from the process of removing the snail from an edible periwinkle.
Jack showed no inclination to leave his seat beside Alice, but Roger was determined to winkle him out of that chair no matter what it took.
Earlier this month, a different Michigan university released its annual list of words it believes should be banned from the English language.

I'm sorry man but is not my fault that people are sensitive around here, I started this thread because I saw the rumor about Danny and people started to jump all over me, it's my right to defend myself, not only that but even though people like you hate me you love to argue with me, hence the guy asking me a question as to why I'm posting so much here.Vnzla, you are sucking the joy out of my forum experience. I've tried at times putting you on Ignore, but you tend to dominate the forum and many, many threads get re-focused to your objection of . So many folks take the bait and enter an argument with you that your posts are quoted all over the place. There is no getting away from you or your arguments. And, oftentimes, if you don't defy logic, you defy sensibility and compassion.
For the sake of myself and others that have enjoyed this forum and its predecessor for nearly two decades, may I beg of you one simple favor? Please, please, please, try to show a little temperance.
Again If you are going to call me out and say bs about me I'm going to respond.

A recent Gallup poll shows a majority of Americans reporting their political views are becoming more conservative. Conservatives naturally welcome such reports of movement in public opinion, but the question of whether America is a fundamentally conservative nation is not easily answered. Polls proclaiming us to be a "center-right" country have appeared for decades, even as the nation's practical politics have moved inexorably leftward. There has never been a time, since the heyday of the New Deal, when liberal philosophy has received enthusiastic support from the public… and there has never been a time when liberalism has not grown in power and influence, except perhaps at the height of Reagan's strength. American politics orbit on the right side of a center that has been creeping leftward for the better part of a hundred years.
The Gallup article includes a good deal of head-scratching about the obvious contradiction of an electorate that describes itself as generally "conservative," but elected a leftist radical to the Presidency in 2008, along with solid majorities for the Democrats in both houses of Congress. A look at the disastrous politics of Obama's most extreme initiatives, such as health care or cap-and-trade, suggests the public that voted him into office was fooled into thinking he wasn't as far Left as he turned out to be. This is probably true for a certain segment of the population, which had essentially non-ideological reasons for supporting Obama: they enjoyed his speeches, they voted for him because he was black, they hated Bush or disliked McCain, or they followed the advice of media celebrities. Such voters were looking for ways to be comfortable with voting for Obama, and probably didn't dig into his past, or the actual content of his speeches, as much as they should have. I think there is more to the story than mere deception or self-delusion, however.
How do we reconcile a public that claims to be increasingly conservative, with a government that has become increasingly liberal throughout our lifetimes? I think the key lies in understanding the increasing obsession Americans have with "crises," and their belief that government should stand ready to take quick action in resolving them. Most voters are not ideologues. They haven't invested much effort in putting together coherent philosophies of government. They generally think of both "liberal" and "conservative" as bad words, describing extremes they would prefer to avoid. They are eager to identify themselves as "moderates" or "independents," and pride themselves on being thoughtful and flexible. A sizable portion of voters who do describe themselves as liberal or conservative hasten to add that they aren't rigid extremists, and will consider good ideas from both sides.
In their personal lives, most of these people – including a great many of those who consider themselves proudly liberal – follow principles we have come to associate with modern conservatism. In fact, the idea of applying liberal principles to their daily lives seems absurd. Most of the conservative positions that saw the strongest gains in the Gallup poll can be viewed in the context of people thinking about their own lives, and answering in a manner consistent with their behavior, or at least their ideals. Of course most people would not sacrifice their economic success to protect the environment, or casually surrender their right to defend themselves from criminal assault, and they're squeamish about relinquishing control of their health care.
In matters of public policy, however, Americans have generally accepted the idea that only government action can resolve the most serious problems we face… and a sensationalist media assures them we face many serious problems. The size, scope, and number of these problems seem overwhelming to the average citizen. He has no idea how to deal with the meltdown of gigantic financial institutions, heal the country's racial divisions, or "save" the environment. He desperately wants to believe there are smart people in Washington who know how to handle these issues. A century of astonishing technological development has convinced us that every problem has a large-scale, scientific solution. There is no aspect of the future we don't believe we can design and build, if we place our trust in the right group of social engineers.
The leftward movement of American politics has tracked almost exactly with the development of mass media, from radio to TV to the Internet. Overt political bias from the media is not as damaging as the general environment of permanent crisis they foster, accompanied by heroic narratives of brave and compassionate politicians with Big Ideas about how to rescue us from this week's nightmare. This attitude is essentially inevitable from the media, because fearful crises and bold actions are the product they sell to their consumers. You'll never see a news anchor kick off his nightly report by admitting nothing much happened today. Not even Fox News, routinely described as the "conservative" news network, is immune to sensationalism – far from it. Like all the other networks, Fox has a prestigious Washington bureau, staffed with people who are breathlessly eager to report on the latest adventures of our executive and legislative action heroes.
The idea that government is morally or legally prevented from addressing a major issue – the very heart and soul of the Constitution – is dismissed out of hand. James Madison's assertion that "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents" would be a complete non-starter in today's political climate. Rewrite that statement to make it sound like it came from a modern leader, and it would be swiftly denounced as uncaring and out-of-touch, the mutterings of a callous tool of the rich who foolishly thinks government should let poor people suffer, to finance tax breaks for his wealthy friends.
The GOP has not been vigorous in fighting the rising tide of dependence on government, or the disintegrating faith in private institutions. Republicans are largely willing to go along with the relentless accumulation of central power – they just have different ideas about how to use it. George Bush's "compassionate conservatism" was an expression of this attitude. Even Bush's tax cuts, like those Bob Dole half-heartedly campaigned on with his little "15%" signs, were presented without any connection to a larger conservative philosophy about the size and role of government… making them amount to nothing but a discount on the purchase of a deeply defective product.
As long as the basic principle of ever-growing, activist central government is accepted, the nation's politics will continue to slide leftward, no matter how conservative the population thinks it is. Belief in the State necessarily requires diminished confidence in free enterprise. The most encouraging development for conservatives is the mounting sense of frustration with Obama's clumsy policies, and their absurd price tags. The surest sign we are a conservative nation is that every Democrat since Walter Mondale has felt compelled to lie to the American people about the cost of liberalism, as well as over-selling its supposed benefits.
The challenge for conservative politicians is to express matters of national policy to the voters in the same terms which guide their daily lives. As the Gallup poll shows, most people find liberal ideas ridiculous or immoral when applied to the behavior of individuals and families. We should help them understand that liberalism does not become more efficient, or righteous, when it governs millions of lives and spends trillions of dollars. President Obama has done a great deal to help us make that case. The Republicans should build on the framework of Obama's failures in 2010, and begin moving America's center of gravity back to the right, where it belongs.

A drug developed by Tel Aviv University researchers, known as BL-7050, may offer new hope to patients with neuropathic pain. The compound seems to inhibit the transmission of pain signals throughout the body. In early-stage testing measuring electrical activity of neurons, the compound has been shown to prevent the hyper-excitability of neurons -- protecting against neuropathic pain and epileptic seizures. The drug is expected to enter the first phase of clinical trials in upcoming months.

Miranda Kerr
Women have bought the prized underwear that she models. Men have simply admired the sight of her in the prized underwear that she models. Such is the life of the Australia's darling Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr. Dimply, endearing and delightful, she's best-known for her association with the lingerie giant, along with her frequent appearance in magazines and other media platforms around the world, which have seen her interact with everyone from Kanye West to Neil Patrick Harris.
Originally an aspiring nutritionist with a strong interest in psychology, Miranda Kerr has chosen to emphasize her physical gifts over her mental ones, but hasn't forgotten her inclinations toward good food and healthy minds. While staying true to a strict, nutritious diet, she is also the budding author of the self-help themed book, Treasure Yourself. As a health-conscious model with a lingerie-friendly body and dual aspirations in both writing and acting, Miranda Kerr is a multi-faceted pop culture threat who continues to impress with each new professional indulgence, and all the while, we are more than happy to indulge in her.

As a health-conscious model with a lingerie-friendly body and dual aspirations in both writing and acting, Miranda Kerr is a multi-faceted pop culture threat who continues to impress with each new professional indulgence, and all the while, we are more than happy to indulge in her.
AppealAlthough she's a personal fan of the beautiful Christy Turlington, Miranda Kerr has been compared on a physical level with classic and current beauties like Audrey Hepburn, Gemma Ward, Lily Cole, and Australian modeling legend, Elle Macpherson. Thanks to a body that's regularly nourished with only the healthiest of diets (except for the occasional steak pie and dark chocolate Lindt ball), the brown-haired, blue-eyed beauty with prominent dimples has been a regular on AskMen's Top 99 Women list for several years. Besides being a beautiful woman, Miranda Kerr is a giving person as well. She has a continual wish to help others, which she does through her endeavors with Children International and a skin-baring Rolling Stone spread in support of koalas back home in Australia.
Most men would be happy to be chained up against a tree with Miranda Kerr to support koalas, but they would surely face the ire of her current squeeze, who just so happens to be about as popular with women as she is with men. After previously being linked to Adrian Camilleri (a former financial broker and current convicted felon) and Tamarama frontman Jay Lyon, Kerr married Orlando Bloom in 2010 and gave birth to a son, Flynn, the next year. The couple announced their plans to separate in October 2013. However, they are committed to maintaining their dynamic as parents to Flynn.
SuccessSince 2007, Miranda Kerr has been the lone Australian contribution to the world-famous lingerie-clad beauties known as the Victoria's Secret Angels. One of the modeling elite when it comes to pure sexiness and hefty paydays, Kerr is a model icon in her homeland and a recognizable entity abroad. Having been featured in numerous international magazines (GQ, Rolling Stone, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and Glamour), runway shows (Rock and Republic, Rachel Roy, Trovata, Prada), and television shows (Project Runway, How I Met Your Mother), Kerr has made the most of her speedy and initially-controversial career climb.
Miranda Kerr hasn't quite achieved the same prestige of her fellow Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio or modeldom's reigning queen Gisele Bundchen (the Angel she replaced), but her profile has risen significantly as evidenced by the paparazzi that incessantly stalk her. A scandal involving her photos, a sneaky financial employee and YouTube helped guide the pop culture spotlight in her direction, as did her evolving personal relationship with Orlando Bloom. In 2013, Kerr was dealt a double-blow when both her marriage, and negotiations for the renewal of her Victoria's Secret contract fell apart. However, that same year Kerr signed on to become the face of major fashion brands, Mango and Swarovski and was ranked 2nd in Forbes list of the world's highest-paid models.
With a look that's still model-friendly and a curious mind that is leaning towards developing her interest in acting, Miranda Kerr is eager to build on her achievements and see where her rewarding journey will take her next.
Miranda Kerr BiographyThe early days of Miranda Kerr's life were spent in the quieter areas of Australia's New South Wales state. Along with her brother, Matthew, Miranda enjoyed a childhood instilled with grounded family values and filled with leisure activities like motorbike racing and horseback riding -- all of which would help keep her sane upon entering the crazy world of modeling. After moving to Brisbane and enrolling at All Hallows' School, Kerr had her eye on a career in nutrition, but a national modeling contest soon changed everything.
In 1997, Miranda Kerr was persuaded to enter a national competition sponsored by the Australian-based magazine, Dolly. At only 13 years old, she was an underdog, but when she emerged victorious, her selection brought a wave of controversy with it. As the winner of the competition, she earned a shoot with the magazine, but Australian fashion observers were dismayed that the magazine would feature a model who was so young. Despite her youth, Kerr was wise enough to note that bad publicity can sometimes lead to good publicity, so she completed the shoot and later shrugged off the controversy by saying, "Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed!"
miranda kerr becomes a victoria's secret angelFollowing her shoot for Dolly, Miranda Kerr continued in her regular schooling while modeling on the side. Tragedy struck as she was on the cusp of graduating from high school when her boyfriend died suddenly, but Kerr persevered and landed back-to-back modeling contracts with local branches of Chadwick Models and Chic Management. These contracts allowed her to add to her professional branding by working for Billabong, a national surfing company that featured her in ads for One Teaspoon, Roxy and Tigerlily among others. The increased exposure in her country and abroad encouraged Kerr to travel to Paris for a gig with Ober Jeans and permanently move to New York in 2004. After inking a new agency deal with Next, she made an instant splash as a magazine model for Harper's Bazaar, the Italian edition of Glamour and Vogue in Australia while taking on runway and ad assignments for brands like Levi's, Rock and Republic, and Heatherette.
Miranda Kerr's next series of career steps greatly upped her awareness and influence in the American fashion industry over the next several years. A 2006 appearance on the reality show, Project Runway, was instrumental in landing her a deal with cosmetics giant Maybelline New York. The contract put her face into top-shelf industry mags like Elle and Cosmopolitan and also garnered her a spot in the photogenic catalogue for Victoria's Secret. The latter project led to two notable deals with the ever-popular lingerie producer -- first as Alessandra Ambrosio's replacement to front PINK and then as the newest Victoria's Secret Angel in 2007, in place of Gisele Bundchen. As the first Victoria's Secret Angel from Australia, Miranda Kerr would participate in the company's annual runway celebrations and gain additional magazine placements for publications like FHM. Her stock would also increase from big-money ad contracts with Arden B, Clinique and David Jones, an Australian fashion outlet that hired her to replace fellow Aussie, Megan Gale.
miranda kerr's accidental youtube scandal and Prada assignmentsThe increased worldwide exposure of Miranda Kerr -- which also included the Kanye West-Pharrell music video, "Number One," and a Victoria's Secret Angels-laden guest spot on the Neil Patrick Harris favorite, How I Met Your Mother -- helped vault her into the top 10 of Forbes' highest-earning models. Her financial success allowed her to branch out into new industry directions like the 2009 launch of Kora, her own organic skin care brand, and the preparations for her first book, Treasure Yourself. In the same year, Miranda Kerr would her magazine dominance as a cover model for Australian editions of Rolling Stone and Harper's Bazaar, as well as the German and Spain issues of Cosmopolitan and GQ, respectively.
After posing for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar, Miranda Kerr's pop culture status as a hot modeling commodity and top-level beauty was further cemented when Australian financial employee, David Kiely, was captured on television looking at her pictures while his coworker was being interviewed. More than 1 million YouTube views later, David Kiely earned a suspension and Miranda Kerr became more popular than ever (her Google searches doubled). After she publicly voiced her support for him, David Kiely got his job back and the model resumed her lucrative career with two high-profile Prada bookings for the company's fall and winter lines -- which would also feature American model Angela Lindvall and Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Doutzen Kroes.
In May 2010, Kerr was listed number 9 on the ForbesTop 10 Earning Models.
miranda kerr becomes a MILFIn September 2010, Kerr landed two editorials and one feature in US Vogue's September Issue. She recently became the first-ever pregnant Vogue cover girl when landing the cover of Vogue Australia while 6-months pregnant with her son, Flynn Christopher Bloom, born on January 6, 2011.
Talk about getting back in the game, just two months after giving birth she hit the catwalk for Balenciaga's Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection as part of Paris Fashion Week.
miranda kerr and orlando bloom end their marriage
In 2013, fans of the gorgeous superstar coupling of Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr were shocked to hear the romance had come to an end after six years of dating and two years of marriage. However, the media celebrated the couple as a model for healthy divorce as they committed to maintaining an amicable relationship for the sake of their three-year-old son, Flynn.

AMAS Presents NELLIE BEEZER'S MELTING POT FOLLIES OF 1922 10/12
Amas Musical Theatre (Donna Trinkoff/Producing Artistic Director) will present free staged readings of "Nellie Beezer's Melting Pot Follies of 1922", a new musical written by Phillip George (co-creator of SHOUT! The Mod Musical and long-time co-director of Forbidden Broadway) and Kathy Griffith, with additional material by Gerard Alessandrini (Forbidden Broadway) and David Caldwell. The readings, also directed by Phillip George, will take place on Monday, October 11th at 6:00pm, and Tuesday, October 12th at 3:00pm and 7:00pm, at Ripley-Grier Studios, 520 Eighth Avenue (10th Floor).
"Nellie Beezer's Melting Pot Follies of 1922" involves a disparate group of immigrants graduating from a government-sponsored course of "Americanization" taught by former Follies showgirl Nellie Beezer. As the class prepares to don the mantle of citizenship, they perform a series of songs and stories they have learned especially to celebrate the 4th of July. Although the show features some original songs, most notably from the award-winning creative team of "Forbidden Broadway," it relies largely on a trove of American popular songs from the era.
""Nellie Beezer's Melting Pot Follies of 1922" is a hilarious yet very sobering musical satire that mines a somewhat forgotten era of American culture", says Amas Producing Artistic Director Donna Trinkoff. "Jingoism and political correctness have obscured what so many of our grandparents and great-grandparents experienced as they came to these shores. This is a show that reminds us both of how far we've come and how far we've yet to go," she adds.
Phillip George, long-time co-director of numerous "Forbidden Broadway" revues, which won a Special Tony Award in 2006, is also the co-creator and director of "SHOUT! The Mod Musical" currently being performed around the world. Gerard Alessandrini, best known for creating "Forbidden Broadway", is the recipient of Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre, an Obie Award, four Drama Desk Awards (including the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lyrics and the Drama Desk Special Award), an Outer Critics Circle Award, and two Lucille Lortel Awards, as well as the Drama League Award for Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre.
The cast includes Beth Glover ("Take Me Along"), Lori Hammel ("Mamma Mia", "Forbidden Broadway"), Kevin McGlynn ("Kiss Me Kate", "All Shook Up", "Forbidden Broadway" national tours), Joseph Melendez ("Jesus Christ Superstar" Broadway revival, "Magpie" at Amas), Lee Summers ("Dreamgirls" on Broadway, "Langston Hughes's Little Ham" at Amas), and Nir Chalamish, Jillian Cox, Mark Fisher, Kelvin Moon Loh, and Kristi Roosmaa. Music direction is by Phillip Caldwell ("Forbidden Broadway")
The presentations are part of the ongoing Amas Six O'Clock Musical Theatre Lab, a development series for writers, lyricists and composers to mount staged readings of their new musicals free to the public. The Amas Six O'Clock Musical Theatre Lab is supported, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years building strong, creative communities in New York's 62 counties, and by the ASCAP Foundation Irving Caesar Fund, the BMI Foundation, the Barbara Bell Cummings Foundation, the Dramatists Guild, the Edith Meiser Fund, the Shubert Foundation, and through the generous support of many individuals.

'With only three wins in ten games, the Sabres know that it is imperative to stop the slide, especially in a schedule of 48 games where the season starts are also important. Maybe they will learn from two years ago when they had started the season with only two wins in their first 12 games? The Sabres were able to get out of deadlock and to carve out a playoff spot thereafter.'

Tasty Turkey Quiche
Looking for a different way to use up extra turkey and stuffing from your holiday meal? I use it to replace some of the ingredients in a typical quiche. Instead of a pastry crust, I press some stuffing into a pie plate to form a crust. Then I substitute chopped cooked turkey and shredded Swiss for the meat and cheese called for in the recipe and bake as directed. It turns out terrific. —Janelle Ogg, Santa Rosa, California

Most majors at Emmanuel require students to complete an internship before graduation. However, the professional experience and course credits aren't always the only things with which students walk away. Some end up with a full-time job offer.
That is the case for Doug, whose internship opened up new doors for him at one of the biggest advertising firms in the world. The English communications major spent the fall 2012 semester at Hill Holliday, an internship he found through the Office of Internships & Career Development (ICD) at Emmanuel. He worked as the sole intern in the media-buying department and had the chance to experience the professional advertising industry firsthand.
Doug was also able to shadow other departments and discover more about different aspects of the advertising industry - a staple of the Hill Holliday internship program. Every intern is assigned to a personal mentor, who helps them not only succeed in their division, but explore the rest of the agency.
"They were really good about helping interns network and learn about the entire company," Doug said. "I was working directly with clients all the time."
The ability to volunteer with other areas of the company was what led Doug to be offered the chance to return to Hill Holliday full time after he graduates.
"Another department was doing a photo shoot and needed volunteers to help organize it, so I offered to go," he said. "And it just so happened that the woman working next to me was the head of the accounts management department."
The two got to talking and Doug clearly made a good impression.
"She told me that she loved my attitude and that she wanted to have me as part of her team right after graduation if I would consider going back, which was amazing to hear."
As a member of the accounts management team, Doug will work directly with established clients to make sure that the agency creates advertisements that fit their wants and needs.
"In media buying, we communicated between cable and stations, as well as all of our clients, to buy advertising spots," he said. "In accounts management I will have even more chances to interact with clients, which is what I loved about my internship."
While at Hill Holliday, Doug was in contact with production assistants from dozens of television networks - including Vh1 and the vice president of MTV - every day that he spent there. He was also invited to attend major events hosted by advertising firms and media agencies from around the world.
Doug has been able to use his own success story to show other students how these internships can lead to incredible networking and career chances. As an admissions ambassador for Emmanuel, he gives tours to prospective students and families - and makes sure to share his experiences with them.
"As an admissions ambassador, I'm always asked about Emmanuel's emphasis on internships," he said. "Now, I know firsthand how amazing the opportunities are."

THE owners of Accrington Arndale Centre have announced plans to temporarily close the upper levels of its car park while a safety review is carried out.
There have been five deaths in five years at the centre, in Union Street, with the latest being 17-year-old Lauren Johnson, who fell to her death on Thursday June 5.
A statement released by Lee Baron Chartered Surveyors on behalf of the Jesta Group said: "The centre owners are conducting an immediate review of the security at the Arndale Centre in Accrington car park, following the tragic fatality on June 5.
"As a temporary measure ahead of reviewing the safety of the centre generally, David Berman, director of Jesta Capital Corporation, has asked specialist contractors to advise on the closure of the lifts and the access ramps to the top decks in the car park.
"Although our immediate concern is to implement a temporary closure of the upper decks, we have arranged a meeting on July 3 to consult with appropriate advisers, the police, senior representatives from the Samaritans and the local authority, and will give regular updates once we have taken professional advice on car park safety."
Campaigner Sarah Clitheroe, who led renewed calls for the centre to be 'made safe or knocked down', said the announcement would not affect plans for a protest march on Saturday.
She said: "It's better than nothing – for now – but it won't affect the march because it's only a temporary measure. I'm happier, but the march will still go ahead because we want a long term solution and we want to raise awareness of Lauren's charity, Lauren's Place.
"Thank you to the Arndale Centre for acting. Let's hope it closes forever."
Burnley-born Lauren, who lived in Blackburn Road, Oswaldtwistle, was laid to rest at an emotional service on Friday.
The march will begin at 11am outside the town hall. It will go through the town and end at the back of the Arndale Centre.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – After sitting out last week's Ohio/Kentucky All-Star game because of Bullitt East's prom, Charger standout Derek Willis will be in action this Friday when he plays in the Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Freedom Hall.
Willis will be one of two University of Kentucky recruits taking part in the game, the first Wildcat player in the game since 2010. Just last week, 2013 Kentucky Mr. Basketball Dominique Hawkins was added to the game and he will be a teammate of Willis on the black team.

Despite slump, Braun still delivering big hits
SAN DIEGO -- The Brewers are winning and Ryan Braun's clutch hitting has been one of the biggest reasons why. So what if he's only got five of them in his last 32 at-bats? Those five hits have all been huge.
That's the mindset Braun's teammates and manager are taking toward his slump.
"Every time he puts the ball in play, it's a big home run," center fielder Carlos Gomez said.
Four of Braun's five hits during the slump have been homers and all have come at crucial moments. If that's a slump, Gomez says he's eager to see how many games Braun will win for the club when he inevitably gets hot.
"He could get 200 at-bats and strike out just five times. He's not a guy that's going to be like that the whole year."
Manager Ron Roenicke believes those types of big hits make it a lot easier to break out of a slump.
"When you're not swinging the bat well, and you're winning ballgames for the team with the few hits that you're getting, it's huge," Roenicke said. "If you're only scratching out a couple and they're big hits, it makes a difference in your confidence."
Although Petco Park in San Diego is known as a pitcher-friendly stadium, Braun has had success there, going 18-for-57 lifetime, including a three-homer, six-RBI game last April.

For the fiscal 2014 second quarter ended December 31, 2013, Tuesday Morning Corp. posted net income of $17.7 million, or 41 cents per share, versus a net loss of $21.5 million, or 51 cents per share, in the fiscal 2013 period. Excluding business turnaround charges, non-GAAP basis net income was $19.3 million, or 45 cents per share, versus $15.5 million, or 37 cents per share, in the fiscal 2013 second quarter, the company stated.
Comparable store sales gained 3.1% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013, Tuesday Morning noted, with a 7% increase in customer transactions partially offset by a 3.9% decrease in average ticket. Net sales were $285.8 million, essentially flat compared with $285.3 million in the fiscal 2013 second quarter.
In the fiscal 2014 period, Tuesday Morning pointed out that it had exited a number of non-core categories such as women's apparel and footwear. The company added that comps in ongoing core categories increased 7% and were led by exceptional strength in Furniture, up 57%, Sheets/Linens, up 23%, and Home Décor, up 20%.
Operating income in the second quarter was $18.3 million, Tuesday Morning reported, versus an operating loss of $22.6 million in the fiscal 2013 period. Excluding business turnaround charges, adjusted operating income on a non-GAAP basis was $20.3 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $24.6 million in last year's second quarter. The company attributed the decrease in non-GAAP operating income to lower non-GAAP gross profit and increased store costs.
Michael Rouleau, Tuesday Morning CEO, said in announcing the financial results, "During the second quarter, our experienced team executed a disciplined program aimed at improving operations, enhancing merchandising and strengthening the Tuesday Morning offering to our value-oriented consumer. Our progress to date includes improved customer service in well-stocked stores displaying fresh, new merchandise at great values, all of which yielded solid comparable store sales results, increased inventory turnover and a strong cash position. We are pleased with our progress and results this quarter and are confident we will demonstrate continued improvement in the second half of our fiscal 2014, yet remain focused on the significant work ahead necessary to complete our business turnaround program."

The woman accused of killing her boyfriend's daughter with chili powder has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Amanda Sorenson, 21, of Apple Valley was present and in custody Thursday inside the Victorville Superior Court for her arraignment, according to court records.
Sorenson has been charged with murder and assault on a child causing death. If convicted, she could receive a prison term of 25 years to life.
She is scheduled to be back in court on Jan. 17, according to court records.
Deputies were called to the 20000 block of Cayuga Road on Sunday night when they found 2-year-old Joileen suffering from a seizure after ingesting the powder, authorities said.
The girl was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed.
Sorensen is the girlfriend of the toddler's father, officials said. The father's name wasn't released.

Brian Cook is considered a PF, however injuries to Kwame and Mihm are forcing the Lakers ot play Cook as a center this season.
Brown Injured; Bryant Plays
By Mike Bresnahan, Times Staff Writer
October 14, 2006
"It's good to be out there, moving around," Bryant said. "It's not really sore, just not as strong as it used to be, but we've done all that we can do from that perspective, so it's just getting out there and getting my legs underneath me again. It felt pretty good, so we're just trying to ease it back so I can get to 100%."
But the short-handed Lakers, still without Coach Phil Jackson on a full-time basis and center Chris Mihm at all, lost Brown to a sprained right shoulder. Brown was going up for a shot at practice when Andrew Bynum accidentally wrenched back his right shoulder.
Brown saw an orthopedic specialist Friday afternoon. When he left practice, Brown was walking gingerly to his car with an enormous ice bag over his right shoulder.
"It's feeling hot right now," said Brown, who is right-handed.
Lakers spokesman John Black said Brown's injury status is day to day.
With Mihm still recovering from off-season ankle surgery, the Lakers are looking at Bynum, Brian Cook and Ronny Turiaf to play center in the short-term.
- - - - - - - -
He is going to log minutes at center until Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown return from their injuries. His ankle problem isn't thought to be serious.

Tractor Supply Company president and COO Greg Sandfort will succeed James Wright as CEO of the 1,135 store chain effective January 1.
The nation's largest retail farm and ranch store chain on Friday morning confirmed a management succession planned it had telegraphed for years. Current president and COO Greg Sandfort will assume the role of president and CEO on January 1 and join the board of directors. He replaces current chairman and CEO James Wright who will transition to the role of executive chairman for a one year term. In addition, SVP of merchandising Steve Barbarick was elevated to the role of EVP of merchandising. Barbarick joined Tractor Supply as a buyer in 1998 and was named vp/dmm in June 2003 and svp of merchandising in May 2009.
Sandfort joined Tractor Supply as chief merchandising officer in November 2007 and has been instrumental in the company's ability to effectively grow sales and operating margins while improving operating efficiencies and inventory productivity, according to the company. He was named president and CMO in February 2009 and became president and COO in February 2012. Sandfort came to Tractor Supply from Michaels Stores where he served as president and COO. Prior to Michaels he spent time with Sears and Federated Department Stores.
Wright is relinquishing his role at the company after a career that began in October 2000 when he was named president and COO. Wright, was named CEO in October 2004 and he assumed the role of chairman in November 2007.
Sandfort will have large shoes to fill at Tractor Supply as Wright oversaw a decade of dramatic growth at the specialty retailer. During his tenure, Tractor Supply grew revenues from $759 million in 2000 to $4.2 billion in 2011, increased market capitalization from $80 million in 2000 to its current level of $6.9 billion and expanded the store base from 305 stores at the end of 2000 to more than 1,135 stores today.
"It has been an honor to serve Tractor Supply Company through the successful growth of our unique retail concept," Wright said. "Tractor Supply is strongly positioned competitively, operationally and financially. With the talented team we have in place today, this is an ideal time to complete our planned management succession plan."
Sandfort said he looked forward to building on the momentum the company achieved under Wright's leadership and indicated he is aligned with his predecessor on strategy.
"We have built a stable and differentiated business model that serves a unique niche in the retail marketplace," Sandfort said. "I am confident that this will be a smooth transition that enables the company to continue executing its key strategic initiatives that have driven our outstanding performance in recent years."

"Please remind me one more time, I keep forgetting! I tell ya, it must be a mom thing as those kids have zapped all of my brain cells. Wait a minute. I have an idea! Will you please take these Doodlebug Designs All Mixed Up Alpha Rub-ons and just go ahead and rub the reminder right on my forehead so I don't forget? Ahhh. That's better." :)
I don't know about you, but I think rub-ons have got to be one of the greatest scrappy inventions since the paper trimmer! And what's better is that today's steal comes in a variety of sizes and colors to meet your every paper crafting need. I'm over the moon in love with these mini alphas when it comes to making cards. I love being able to add the perfect sentiment to my project with the flick of a popsicle stick!
Can you believe that we have been at our Monday Card Madness fun for NINETY weeks now? That just makes my brain wiggle to think about! I had a lot of fun with this week's sketch because I love scallops and tags.
I love how easy the Doodlebug rub-ons made it to customize my cards, and the best part about these rub-ons is that they don't love their neighbors when you apply them. You know the irritating rub-ons that leave a trace of everything even remotely close to the one you actually want to apply? Not Doodlebug Designs rub-ons. They are perfection.
I love 'em!
Don't forget that we are currently teamed up with We R Memory Keepers Operation Write Home Card Drive for a fantastic giveaway. We have a lovely Red White and Blue Stack Pack that will be given to one random winner who participates in the Operation Write Home Card Drive.

Dell refreshes its 2012 lineup with new internals based on Intel's newest 4th generation Core processors based on Haswell microarchitecture. The refresh hits their XPS 8500 desktop, the XPS 27 all-in-one and XPS 12 Ultrabook.
After already having unveiled its Lenovo Yoga inspired XPS 11 yesterday, Dell has announced the refresh of its existing products to improve their positioning in the market for 2013.
Dell XPS 8700 desktop
Dell has replaced their 2012 XPS 8500 desktop with the new XPS 8700. Other than the slight bump in model number, the new desktop tower by Dell packs Intel's latest toy, namely Haswell. Additionally, the tower offers four HDD racks, up to 4 TB of storage and up to 32 GB of RAM. SSD options provided now include Intel's Smart Response Technology. The XPS 8700 base system costs $700 and is available today.
Dell XPS 27 AIO
The Dell XPS 27 all-in-one packs a 27-inch ultra-high resolution WQHD (2560 x 1440) display with a very high brightness of 350 nits (compared to 300 nits in last year's model). The display also boasts of displaying a wider color gamut of 99%, up from 72% in the model that it has replaced. Like the XPS 8700, Dell has swapped the processor for a Haswell unit and stuffed a 2 GB version of an unannounced next-generation Nvidia GPU (mysterious much).
For storage, you either pick a 2 TB HDD or a 256 GB SSD. All of that neatly tucked behind the beautiful monitor costs $1,600 (and upwards). We can't comment on the value-for-money factor of this good-looking AIO until we find out the exact CPU and GPU model, but we certainly expect Dell to put some powerful yet efficient (after all, it's an AIO) parts in there.
Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook
The company's XPS 12 convertible Ultrabook receives an upgrade. Dell added an NFC chip to the baby, along with the usual upgrades such as using a Haswell based processor and a higher rated battery (50Wh, up from 47Wh). According to the company's estimates, the XPS 12 should run about 9.5 hours on a single full charge, up by 3 hours compared to the 2012 model.
The impressive Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook will sell for a base price of $1,200. Shipping beings as early as the 9th of July for selected regions.

Vitamin D improves insulin sensitivity, astaxanthin may help manage blood sugar and healthy lifestyle changes reduced diabetes, in three new studies.
In a vitamin D study, doctors explained that insulin, the natural hormone produced by the pancreas, helps convert sugar in the bloodstream to energy. About 80 women, aged 23 to 68, who were insulin resistant—meaning their bodies didn't use insulin properly—and whose vitamin D levels were low, took 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day or a placebo. After six months, while the placebo group had not improved, women in the vitamin D group were able to use insulin more effectively, meaning they had better insulin sensitivity and less insulin resistance.
In a glucose lab study, researchers said that chronic high blood sugar causes oxidative stress, which can eventually damage the kidneys. Doctors exposed kidney cells to glucose and then to astaxanthin and found that the antioxidant reduced several signs of oxidative damage and inflammation.
In a diabetes study, researchers followed over 3,200 overweight or obese adults with high blood sugar levels who were likely to develop type 2 diabetes. In the first phase of the study, participants took the antidiabetes drug Metformin, a placebo or made lifestyle changes including exercise, reducing calories and fats, and speaking frequently with health care professionals. After eight years, compared to placebo, those in the Metformin group were 31 percent less likely to develop diabetes and the lifestyle group was 58 percent less likely.
In phase two, after all treatment had stopped, researchers followed participants for another 10 years. They found that compared to placebo, those who had taken Metformin were 18 percent less likely—and the lifestyle group 34 percent less likely—to develop diabetes.

Prize Recipient
Jorge Zetina
University of Utah
My name is Jorge Antonio Zetina and I was born in Ciudad Hidalgo, Michoacan Mexico. I attended a high school where they focus on preparing students for college by encouraging them to take the University of Utah. The courses are taught at the school and have made me appreciate many fields. It was the physics class, however, that made me fall in love with physics and math. One of the things that made me like physics so much was my teacher, Mr. Pantziris. The way he taught the class was amazing. He took hard concepts and made them easy for us to understand, both mathematically and in physical theory. I am in awe of how the physicists and mathematicians have discovered the laws of the universe. I can see myself in the future working as a theoretical or experimental physicist. I would love to be a theoretical physicist. Two of the areas of research I would like to study as a theoretical physicist would be dark matter and string theory. This is the reason for why I want to major in physics and in math. I was accepted into the University of Utah and their Honors College, University of California-Los Angeles and University of California-Berkeley. I will be attending the University of Utah.

Hewlett-Packard has reported a $US6.9 billion ($A6.66 billion) quarterly loss, hit by a massive writedown in the value of a British company acquired last year which had "serious accounting improprieties."
The US computer giant said the results closed the fiscal year with a $US12.65 billion loss, sending its share price tumbling some nine per cent in pre-market trade.
HP said it took a writeoff of $US8.8 billion in the past quarter, mostly due to "serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations" at Autonomy Corporation, a British-based enterprise software firm bought by HP hast year for more than $US10 billion.
HP said it discovered the accounting errors and "a willful effort by Autonomy to mislead shareholders" after a whistleblower came forward.
The latest charge, which follows a nearly $US11 billion charge last quarter for its EDS services division, is the latest blow to HP. The technology company has been roiled in the past few years by a revolving door of chief executives, overall management turnover and challenges in its core personal computer and printer businesses.
Former Autonomy chief executive Mike Lynch, who was pushed out in May, "flatly rejected" HP's allegations.
"The former management team of Autonomy was shocked to see this statement today, and flatly rejects these allegations, which are false," a spokeswoman for Mr Lynch said.
HP took $US8.8 billion in charges in the fourth quarter, with $US5 billion tied to the problems at Autonomy.
HP said it has referred the matter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement division and the UK's Serious Fraud Office for civil and criminal investigation. It said it will take legal action to recoup "what we can for our shareholders." HP informed both the SEC and the Serious Fraud Office over the past week. Both agencies declined to comment.
HP's stock slid to a 10-year low, falling 12 per cent to close at $11.71. Shares are down nearly 50 per cent year to date and HP's market value is now just $23 billion, compared with $100 billion two years ago.
Inflated sales, revenue
HP alleged that Autonomy's former management inflated revenue and gross margins. It said Autonomy executives mischaracterised revenue from low-end hardware sales as software sales and booked some licensing deals with partners as revenue, even though no customer bought the product.
HP said it began an internal investigation, including a forensic review by PricewaterhouseCoopers of Autonomy's historical financial results, under HP general counsel John Schultz after the whistleblower came forward.
Mr Schultz said since the accounting troubles occurred prior to the acquisition, it took a long time before the company was in a position to make the news public.
"Not surprisingly, Autonomy did not have sitting on a shelf somewhere a set of well-maintained books that would walk you through what was actually happening from a financial perspective inside the company," he said. "Indeed critical documents were missing from the obvious places, and it required that we look in every nook and cranny."
HP chief executive Meg Whitman said her predecessor, Leo Apotheker and the former chief strategy officer, Shane Robison, were the key people behind the Autonomy acquisition.
Mr Apotheker was ousted in September 2011 after just 11 months on the job and Mr Robison left soon after.
"Most of the board was here and voted for this deal, and we feel terribly about that," said Ms Whitman on a call with analysts. "The board relied on audited financials, audited by Deloitte. Not Brand X accounting firm, but Deloitte," she said, adding that KPMG was hired to audit Deloitte.
"Neither of them saw what we now see after someone came forward to point us in the right direction," Ms Whitman said.
Other advisers who worked on the deal included Qatalyst Partners, the investment bank run by technology investment banker Frank Quattrone; UBS; Goldman Sachs; Citigroup; JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America for Autonomy. Perella Weinberg Partners and Barclays Capital advised for HP.
Law firms for Autonomy were Slaughter & May and Morgan Lewis. The firms for HP included Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer; Drinker Biddle & Reath; and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which advised the board.
Mr Lynch said he was "shocked to see" HP's allegations, adding that its due diligence prior to the acquisition was "intensive." He said HP's senior management was "closely involved with running Autonomy for the past year".
In response, Ms Whitman said on CNBC the company stands by its findings.
In a statement, Mr Apotheker said he was "stunned and disappointed" by the revelations and offered to make himself available to HP and the authorities to get to the bottom of the matter.
Robert Enderle, a tech analyst at the Enderle Group, said he has never seen such a potential misrepresentation of financials.
"You have to rely on what the firm gives you during due diligence and I've never seen a misstatement at this level," Mr Enderle said.
If the charges are true, it could result in a massive punitive damages award for HP, Mr Enderle said.
Other analysts hoped it was the end of the bad news for the company.
"This kind of feels like the last of the bad news," Forrester analyst Frank Gillett said.
Fourth-quarter loss
The Autonomy allegations and announcement of the charge coincided with the reporting of a fourth-quarter loss for HP.
Net revenue fell 6.7 per cent to $US29.96 billion for the fourth quarter ended October 31 from $32.12 billion a year earlier. Analysts, on average, expected $US30.43 billion.
Revenue from all of its main business units declined, with the personal computer division recording the steepest drop at 14 per cent.
HP reported a quarterly net loss of $US6.85 billion, or $US3.49 a share, versus a profit of $US239 million, or 12 cents, a year earlier.
The sprawling company, which employs more than 300,000 people globally, is undergoing a restructuring aimed at focusing on enterprise services in the mold of International Business Machines Corp.
"To put it bluntly ... this story has been an unmitigated train wreck, and it seems every time management speaks to the Street, there is new negative incremental information forthcoming," said ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall.

The Second Stage Handbook
Jan Tritten, editor
[2003, Eugene, Oregon; Midwifery Today, Inc., 72 pages, saddle stitch booklet. See pricing.]
[Review first published in Midwifery Today Issue 69, Spring 2004, © 2004, Midwifery Today, Inc. Review by Cher Mikkola.]
Midwifery Today has again reached into its vast storehouse of accumulated knowledge and added a third book to its Holistic Clinical Series. Drawing upon articles from back issues, editor Jan Tritten has gathered "exactly what I wanted for my birthkit when I was actively practicing." We find 21 essays about myriad aspects of second stage, including pushing for primips, second stage in home versus hospital, the medicalization of second stage and insights about pushing. Noted authors such as Gloria Lemay, Michel Odent, Robin Lim, Judy Edmunds and Marion Toepke McLean offer both practitioners and birthing mothers everything from hands-on help for physiological circumstances to birth stories to the philosophical underpinnings of birth itself. Sprinkled generously throughout are highlighted tips and techniques drawn from the magazine's "Tricks of the Trade" column, birth photos and helpful line drawings.
Practitioners will never tire of this kind of handbook. They can read it while they "birth sit" to reinvigorate their understanding of the culmination of labor and to inspire the hours to come. They can loan it to their women to help them understand every aspect of this most important passage. And they can share it with their apprentices to help them gain a well-rounded appreciation for all the facets of this exquisitely orchestrated miracle: birth itself.
Reviewer Cher Mikkola is a contributing editor at Midwifery Today magazine, the editor of Midwifery Today E-News, and a freelance writer, editor and proofreader who specializes in the field of birth.

Topic: Recurrence rate
Hello. I am 31 and had a liver resection for intrahepatic cc about 2 months ago. I had negative lymph nodes and clean margins. When I asked about my prognosis, my oncologist gave me 50/50 odds that the tumor would recur and if it did it would probably recur in my liver. I think the odds she gave me were extremely overly optimistic. Does anyone have any information on recurrence rates?

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is working with C3, the promoter of the Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits music festivals, as an official Eco-partner for both events. Honda's support as an Eco-partner on-site in Chicago, Illinois and Austin, Texas will include integrated "green" activities, hybrid-vehicle displays, and the giveaway of an all-new 2010 Insight hybrid car at each event.
Lollapalooza, scheduled from Aug. 7-9 in Chicago, and Austin City Limits, scheduled from Oct. 2-4 in Austin, are both known for attracting great musical acts and promoting environmental awareness. These two priorities match well with Honda's long-term support of the arts and Honda's overall environmental leadership.
"Many Honda customers are passionate about music and they care deeply about the environment," said Tom Peyton, senior manager of Honda national advertising. "As an Eco-partner at these great music festivals, Honda can help make being 'green' entertaining and fun."
Honda is continuing its industry-leading efforts to address the environmental challenges of global climate change, emissions reduction, and energy sustainability through a comprehensive approach that involves further improvements to gasoline-engine fuel efficiency; the development of real-world alternatives to gasoline, including natural gas and the hydrogen-powered fuel cell car; and technology for refueling alternative fuel vehicles. In 2007, Honda was named the "Greenest Automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth consecutive time.

Super7 celebrates their first collaboration with Lucasfilm with a special release party for the STAR WARS: STORMTROOPER SUPER SHOGUN.
When: Saturday June 12th, doors open at 6:00 PM
Where: Super7 Store, 1628 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94115
Available at retail for the first time ever, the Super Shogun is a Limited Edition of only 1200 pieces. This is a one-time production with each Stormtrooper has been hand numbered on the base of the foot with a unique serial number. Be sure to arrive early, as the first 100 people through the door will be given a unique Star Wars themed collectible, which will act as your raffle ticket. A random drawing later in the evening will award a prize package including one of the Super Shogun figures.
Similar to how the toy itself combines the themes of Star Wars and Japanese Super Robots, Super7 will have an exhibition of rare vintage toys from both franchises on display. Original Kenner Star Wars action figures, including rare items such as figures with early "telescoping" lightsabers, will be shown from the personal collection of Super7's Brian Flynn.
Also to be shown will be Erik Sjoen's (toyboxdx.com) personal collection of vintage Japanese Jumbo Machinders. The two-foot tall giants will take up a large amount of the exhbit space with over 20 different robots featured, from the popular Raideen and Grendizer, to the more obscure Capsule Robo G and Giant Gorg.
The final part of the exhibit will be dedicated to the "making of" the Super Shogun itself, as Super7 presents various stages of the production never before seen, including design sketches, original sculpts, and various mold tests.
Aside from our Jumbo figure, actual Stormtroopers themselves will be on-hand at the party. Security at the event will be provided by the Golden Gate Garrison of the 501st Legion, to ensure that any rebel scum is dealt with accordingly.
A similar bash will be held at Super7 Florida:
When: Saturday June 12th, doors open at 5:00 PM EST
Where: Super7, 720 2nd Street North, Saint Petersburg, Florida 33701

Topic: International CC Guidelines on the way!
Here in the UK, there is often considerable confusion over the treatments paths for cholangiocarcinoma that seem to differ from country to country. It is, therefore, very welcome news that The International Liver Cancer Association are producing their first ever International Guidelines on liver cancer and have chosen to do this on Cholangiocarcinoma.
There will be representation from five countries on the International Expert Panel, and including Dr Shahid Khan, one of AMMF's advisors, and Dr John Bridgewater, both from the UK. The full panel will be:
Chair: Professor Gregory Gores (USA)
Dr John Bridgewater (UK)
Dr Shahid Khan (UK)
Dr Tushar Patel (USA)
Professor Tim Pawlik (USA)
Professor Young Nyun Park (Korea)
Professor Josep M Llovet (Spain)
Dr Peter Galle (Germany)
The planned deadline is December 2012.
The international guidelines will not replace the revised UK national CC guidelines (just awaiting final approval and, once published, they will be put on AMMF's website), but are expected to be similar as they will be applying the same evidence base.
Another step forward!
