Some plays, like "The Normal Heart," inspire social awareness and political activism. Others, including the musical "Anything Goes," make you feel like dancing. "The Iceman Cometh," Eugene O'Neill's classic drama on stage at Ensemble Theatre, makes you want a drink or two.
It may be because the entire play takes place in a bar - more specifically, Harry Hope's Saloon in New York.
Hope's dead-end establishment used to be a respectable tavern. Now, in 1912, it is a dark, dank hole where those who can fall no lower come to drink themselves into unconsciousness to hide from and forget about life or to welcome death.
It may be the four hours and four acts it takes to tell this tale that prompts temptation.
All the time and all the scenes are warranted, but a person could work up quite a thirst consuming this much theater, with its salty language, existential overtones, and lengthy monologues.
More likely than not, it's the subject matter.
This play is a mirror that shows us how we cling desperately to self-delusional pipe dreams, promising ourselves that tomorrow will be the day when we do what needs to be done only to discover that there will always be another tomorrow. In "The Iceman Cometh," it is alcohol that lowers the expectations, hinders the accomplishments and kills the incentive in Harry Hope, Jimmy Tomorrow and the rest of the gang of blind-drunk enablers.
As we watch this rich, wonderfully constructed production, directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz, we come face to face with our own pipe dreams and our own tomorrows. Who doesn't need a drink after that?
Or, we can just sit back and marvel at the tremendous performances of all those involved, particularly Dana Hart and Robert Hawkes.
Hart, as Hickey - the life-of-the-party traveling salesman whose annual visit to the bar is the highpoint in the motley existence of each low-life - is an absolute charmer. He wins over the audience the same way he wins over the crowd: with his million-dollar smile, his gift of gab, and his promise to relieve what ails you. When things turn south for Hickey, Hart is able to reveal an undercurrent of pain and loneliness and - best of all - offer a glimpse of Hickey's own pipe-dream delusions falling by the wayside. His is a marvelous performance.
Hawkes does not disappoint in the difficult role of the tragic mouthpiece for the misbegotten. As Larry Slade, he is the lone barfly with enough clarity of mind to put into poetic words the hell of his fallen comrades, but he lacks the courage to do anything about his own hell. Hawkes is superb all the time, but he is at his best during the frozen tableaus that start each act. He stares out into the audience as if he sees the distant horizon, and cares about it, before nodding off to fitful sleep.
Of course, "The Iceman Cometh" depends on the power of the ensemble to mine the depths of O'Neill's depressing world. The detailed directorial work with this fine ensemble is apparent in all the performances. However, some male and female roles are cast too young to be as effective as written and detract from the youthful energy forced upon the bar by Slade's surrogate son, Don Parritt.
Although the ensemble boasts too many fine, fully realized performances to be singled out, particularly noteworthy moments can be. Bobby Williams as Joe Mott, whose big moment comes late in the play, offers as complex and intriguing a depiction of controlled rage as has ever graced the stage. Mitch Rose's quiet presentation of his character Willie Oban's DTs and Allen Branstein's bravado as bartender Rocky Piogi are memorable, as well.
Ron Newell has delivered a wonderful set design for the bar, which works well to suck the audience into this world and hold it captive. Having the front door to the bar positioned at the rear of the house rather than on the stage itself is a wise choice. It is powerful, indeed, when the actors walk through the stadium seating to escape the confines of this hellacious saloon. It is even more powerful when they return.
So realistic is the set that it is tempting to saddle up to the bar at the play's end and order that much-needed drink. The one disappointment in this evening of O'Neill is the realization that the bottles on stage are, fittingly, an empty pipe dream, as well.
"The Iceman Cometh" continues through May 12 at the Ensemble Theatre in Cleveland Heights. For tickets, which range from $12 to $22, call 216-321-2930 or visit www.ensemble-theatre.org.

Willits senior Jon Montez joined an exclusive club on Tuesday, following the Wolverines 61-43 victory over St. Helena. Montez came into the game just 17 points away from reaching the 1,000 point milestone. After scoring 16 in the first quarter, Montez scored his 1000th career point in the second quarter on a lay up. Not only did it go in the basket, but he was fouled, turning it into a three point play.
Montez becomes just the second boy's basketball player at Willits High School to reach 1,000 points. Tim Compton, who was also coached by Duane Nelson, reached the 1,000 point milestone in 2010.
Coming close to reaching that milestone was Charles Wright, with 992 points, and Wyatt Sanderson with 954 points.
Montez finished the game with 23 points, eight rebounds and four steals.
"I've been looking forward to this and now that it's over with I can just concentrate on playing and winning league," said Montez after the game.
Coach Nelson can also rest easier now Montez has reached the milestone.
"We got so focused on him getting the record, we kinda lost sight of what we were doing," he said after the game. "We had a hard time getting back into sync."
They were playing without Will Betts that night, who was sick with the flu.
"He's our energy. He's the guy that if we start getting a little flat, he's the energizer."
Although Willits won the game, Nelson says that if they were to play like that in the playoffs, they wouldn't be going very far.
"Our lack of focus and energy, and we were defensively slow."
Cole Jessup helped offensively, nailing four 3-point goals and finishing with 14 points. Dimitri Betts scored 10 and Will Smith had 8.
Last Friday, in Lower Lake, the Wolverines beat the Trojans (3-11, 1-4) 76-44. Willits put up 29 points in the first quarter, their best all season.
"We are working on trying to take control early," said Nelson. "Even those games that we have won by a lot, they were really tight in the first quarter. So we are trying to make a concerted effort to get out on them early."
Will Betts and Jon Montez each had 18 points in that game. Will Smith had 14 and Cole Jessup had 12.
The Wolverines are certainly on pace to go all the way again this season. They have won 13 straight and stand alone in first place with a 15-2 overall record, 5-0 in league.
"We have to keep improving each game. We have to continue to get better and better," said Nelson. "Our composure is better, our focus is better; our turnovers are down, so yes, I do see that we are getting better."

He's been paid 14 million by the Colts and played in 13 games...incredible.
However this is by far the worst move BP has made, and really it could be much much worse and BP is generally a genius, so I'm not complaining too much.
I am still unsure why there is such sour grapes between Simon and the Colts organization. Weird, confusing situation.

Rebel Yell is a boutique lifestyle brand that reflects nostalgia for a childhood spent in the glory days of the late '70s and early '80. The inspiration for the line comes from the Ballard siblings' rowdy "all-American" childhood growing up in Virginia and Southern California, giving the brand an authentic and casual west coast feel, combined with more traditional, vintage, American athletic themes associated with the great U.S. of A. Raised by a fashion-loving folk/rock musician mom, and a good ol' boy guitar-playing father, the Ballards saw their style and culture being influenced from a young age. There was never a shortage of inspiring fashion, art, and music around the house when they were growing up. With the classic rock greats they were raised on echoing through their design studio, they set out to create a collection reminiscent of the clothing they grew up with: kick-ass, worn-in to perfection, and representative of all things vintage.

As human population in the high-hazard 'red zone' skyrockets, researchers strive to understand when these homeowners perceive wildfire risk and act to mitigate it.
The fight against fires begins before the first spark—when homeowners in the wildland-urban interface choose whether to remove trees and bushes near their homes. What causes landowners to perceive risk and, further, to try to reduce the risk is not fully understood.
But Hannah Brenkert-Smith, a research associate at the University of Colorado Boulder's Institute of Behavioral Science, is working to change that. She and her colleagues are studying the beliefs and behavior of homeowners in the forested "red zone"—the so-called wildland-urban interface where wildfires can destroy homes and other private property.
Understanding when and why mountain residents work to make their homes "firewise" is increasingly important. A Colorado State University study predicts that the number of homes in the red zone will increase from 300,000 in 2000 to 720,000 by 2030. Also during that time, the number of acres in the red zone is projected to rise from 715,000 to 2.6 million.
Brenkert-Smith is collaborating with Nicholas Flores, CU-Boulder professor and chair of economics; and Patricia A. Champ, an economist with the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station in Fort Collins.
Some things are becoming clear. The team has found that while there is a wide variety of information about wildfire available, information shared by experts and non-experts correlate with higher perceived risk. Residents whose neighbors' vegetation looks dense perceive themselves to be at higher risk.
Importantly, WUI homeowners are not a cohesive group that can be expected to make the same kinds of decisions. For example, older-residents and women are more likely than others to undertake fire-mitigation work on their property.
As a doctoral student at CU-Boulder in 2003, Brenkert-Smith began interviewing and surveying red-zone residents after the devastating fire season of 2002.
In the decade since, researchers have focused more attention on wildfire's social-science component, which has not been studied as extensively as that of natural hazards like earthquakes and floods. Prior to the early 2000s, the population at risk of major wildfire losses simply wasn't as extensive as it is now.

When Heroes Return
By JOSHUA BRUSTEIN
Published: August 20, 2010
THE scene around the basketball court at Holcombe Rucker Park in Harlem was bordering on chaos.
Two professional football players strutted back and forth, trailed by fans, while a famous hip-hop artist posed for a photograph in a corner. Children galloped around with no discernible destination. A rotund man in yellow sweat pants danced with surprising grace at center court. Two men on inline skates weaved through the crowd, capturing everything on video cameras.
The stereo system roared and the bleachers were beyond capacity as Corey Williams, 10 days into a monthlong basketball bender, pushed his way onto the court for the Entertainers Basketball Classic, a tournament that has become synonymous with street basketball since it began 30 years ago as a grudge match between rival rap groups. It is also where Mr. Williams, who grew up in the Bronx and now plays professionally overseas, made his name literally.
The most dangerous player in the E.B.C. Homicide has entered the building! the announcer yelled into the microphone when he saw Mr. Williams, who was grinning and looking giddy as he pounded hands and grabbed shoulders. ...........................
One evening in 2005, a coach with the Toronto Raptors saw Mr. Williams dominate a game at Dyckman Park and brought him in for a tryout. This set off a series of auditions with five other National Basketball Association teams. None resulted in a contract, but Mr. Williams was named the Most Valuable Player in the Australian National Basketball League last season..............
Complete Story Here
Anyone know Who that coach was?
Why didn't the Raptors sign him?

Neutrogena Shine-Control Blotting Sheets Reviews
Perfect Little Blotting Sheets!I'd be lost without these excellent makeup-preserving sheets. These soft little papers blot up a lot of oil, sweat, etc. without disturbing makeup or making you add layers of unnatural-looking powder. I have packets everywhere--my purse, vanity, desk, glove compartment, you name it. They are also very reasonably priced (fifty sheets for about $5.00). Neutrogena is dear to my heart! — 4 years agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

A great item to get rid of excess oilThe oil absorbing blotting sheet is very vital for me since I live in a hot humid climate. During the summer months, being in outside for 5 min is enough for me to get all sweaty. Each sheet is blue colored, I gently place a sheet on my skin, and I can see how much it sucks up excess oil from my skin without messing up makeup. Even though it is a bit more expensive than Clean & Clear's, I like thi...read mores Neurorogena's more than the Clean & Clear's blotting sheet.

Bag item!This sheets are always always always with me. Theyre a great alternative to keep applying powder to keep matte. I love these, I feel like they blot but do not spread anything anywhere i even feel comfortable blotting my eyelids with these (Sometimes at work i tend to get oily everywhere from workiing in a kitchen) these keep me matte and pretty all day! — 4 years, 9 months agorayshaviolet | 245 reviews

I always keep these with meThese little sheets actually do what they say they will. I pat one on my face and it immediately gets rid of shine without smudging my makeup.

Ilove these little sheets!Okay these are so important to have if you have oily skin! These little blue sheets are the best, I use these at least twice a day in the mid morning and afternoon. They really do absorb the oil and you can see the results immediately! This is so much better for you're skin if you don't like to use powder to cover up the oil. Try them you will not be sorry! — 4 years agoginaaliyah | 9 reviews
A must have!These lovely little sheets were my life saver last summer and they will be again this one...and probably all the summers after that. I live in Kansas and the humidity here is out of this world. It makes wearing ANY type of makeup a challenge. I used to hate it but after trying this product, its not so bad anymore. Sure, I go through a few of them a day but it makes it all worth it in the end when I dont look like the Wicked Witch of the West melting. — 5 years, 6 months agomeldanielle | 10 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

THE RSPCA is appealing for information after four kittens were abandoned in a village near Winchester.
The charity was alerted after a member of the public discovered four kittens, loose, next to a parking area on the edge of the wood at the back of her property in Hursley.
The kittens were clean and dry and warm, so it is likely they had only been left there that morning, Wednesday November 7.
The young cats, which were alert but scared, were taken to the RSPCA Stubbington Ark Animals Shelter, near Fareham where they were examined by a vet and found to be underweight and with fleas.
Now the RSPCA is appealing for information in a bid to find the person responsible for the kittens.
RSPCA inspector Jan Edwards said: "These kittens were probably an unplanned and unwanted litter which came about as a result of someone failing to take on board basic animal welfare advice and have their pet neutered."
It is a sad day when people fail their pet by not having it neutered and then when kittens come along they just shrug their shoulders and decide to dump them and let someone else deal with it. RSPCA animal centres are full of unwanted cats and kittens and many owners are only making the problem worse by allowing their pets to breed."
Ms Edwards is urging anyone who recognizes these kittens or has information about where they came from to contact the RSPCA so it can check on their mother and ensure there are no other animals at risk.
Under the Animals Welfare Act 2006 anyone found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal faces up to six months in prison and/or a £20,000 fine.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018 and leave a message for Inspector Edwards.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Along with the news that you're pregnant, comes a responsibility to really understand everything you put into your body - after all, you are now growing another being who is completely dependent on your body to deliver all its needs.
While it is ideal to eliminate anything that may possibly do damage to your baby before you fall pregnant, doing so as soon as possible after discovering you're pregnant is the next best step.
Many drugs taken during pregnancy cross the placenta and reach the developing foetus. And as it's developing all the major body systems and organs during the first trimester of pregnancy, it is vital during this time that you keep drugs to a minimum to ensure the health of your baby.

Travelzoo, one of the largest sellers of travel advertising on the Internet, sees higher demand for online advertising in the year 2004. The company bases its view on the number and volume of insertion orders for advertising in 2004 that it received by the first week of the new year. The note has been expressed in a press release in which, Elizabeth Rose, Senior Vice President of Strategy at Travelzoo, commented:""We are very pleased with the number and volume of insertion orders that we have already received for 2004. In 2003, travel companies hesitated about making long-term advertising commitments. The combination of economic recovery and strong competition is now creating advertising demand, and also great travel values for the consumer."
In my opinion, it's a little bit too early to express such a statement, anyway I appreciate such a bravery to come up with a positive and stimulating (for the advertising industry) note.

No superstar in the WWE is more loved than Daniel Bryan. We can agree with that can't we? I'd argue no superstar is more hated right now in the WWE then Batista!! People are actually online debating on who in 2014 should main event Wrestlemania 30 with them being the 2 superstars? Who woulda thought in 2006 that in 2014 we may actually get to see this Mania main event in 2014. Good thing I'm not a

(blogs coming up)
Wrestlings Super Bowl, Wrestlemania, the biggest event yearly since 1985. Every show has a main event to end a show. We all know that is the last match which is the match everyone wants to see. This year we have WM30, which looks to be a bad main event which got me thinking. Is it the worst Wrestlemania main event of all-time? Which got me looking back at the main events of the biggest show, Wrestlemania
Lockdown is in March this year which is why I'm doing this booking challenge. TNA Lockdown, 1 of the biggest ppvs of the year for TNA. 10 match limit max as always. So you know how this works, give your best card possible as usual. For those who don't understand the point of the booking challenge, please read the explaination right under this opening beside the *. For the booking challenge vets, here
Now days, we have confusion of what "main event" means because WWE promotes shows as if there is more than 1 because you got other big matches of the show as well. However, the main event no matter how you slice and dice it....is the "last" match on the show. CM Punk still wants to be in the "last" match on Wrestlemania. Why? It is Wrestlemania.....wrestlings World Series
Recently, WWE superstar, CM Punk decided to leave and take some time off. Makes the Stone Cold comparisons even more valid. However, how long he is taking off is anyones guess. Some say he won't be back. I've been waiting for some time to share the story of how I became a Punk fan(pre-pipebomb) and why at the beginning I hated CM Punk. Leave that and talk about his future in this blog on Superstar
I know the Royal Rumble is over for 2014. Everyone including myself is angry over the ppv results including Batista Royal Rumble victory which is one of the worst of all-time. LOL! So I thought, why not talk about the best and worst Royal Rumble victories of all-time! Excluding Batista to give more love and hate to the history of the Royal Rumble match. What is the definition of best and worst in
The debates over the WWE Hall of Fame will never die. It is a yearly event where us wrestling fans are able to say our last thank you to the stars we loved seeing on our talking box over the years. Everyone has their different criteria on who should be in the hall and who shouldn't. I've told you my opinion on celebs in the hall. Whether you believe the WWE Hall of Fame is a joke or not doesn't matter.
After each opponent every year, you think who should face the Deadman at Wrestlemania next? Let us be honest, Undertaker isn't going to be at WM 40 competing nor do I believe he will be doing so at WM 35. Rumors every year of who will face the Deadman. I decided to make a top 5 list of opponents I'd like to see face the Undertaker at WM30. Sorry to the fans who would like to see a rematch with the
I was going to do a blog on Batista return, but with so many Batista blogs, the average reader won't read it. So I go with "The Next Big Thing", Brock Lesnar!! Another superstar who just returned looking to challenge the WWE world heavyweight champion no matter who it is after the Royal Rumble. In this blog, gonna talk about Brock's first run, departure, return, and dream matches of course!!
It is that time of the year again, talking about the best moments and matches of the year. Wondering who is going to win the Royal Rumble and who is going to have a big year next year. It is time to make a Christmas list, a list of things I want from both TNA and WWE. Let's be honest, it is all about what us fans want. At least, that is what they claim. Here is what I want from TNA/WWE in 2014:

Land and property records can place an ancestor in a particular location, provide economic information, and reveal family relationships. Land records include deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, grants and land patents.
See Georgia Land and Property for additional information about early Georgia land grants from the government. After land was transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions (generally buying and selling deeds) were usually recorded at the county courthouse and where records are currently housed.

Colonial courts kept some early probate records. From 1777 to 1798 and since 1852, the court of ordinary or register of probates has kept probate and guardianship records. The inferior court handled probate and guardianship matters from 1798 to 1852.
Many probate records to the 1930s and 1940s are at the Georgia Department of Archives and History and the Family History Library on microfilm.
Content: Probate Records may give the decedent's date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, associates, relatives, and their place of residence.
Record types: Wills, estates, guardianships, naturalizations, marriage, adoption, and birth and death records (not all years).

Could this boys name work for us?
DH has always loved River for a boy and though i love it I had initially dismissed it as its very at odds with our little girl Matilda's name. However I can't stop thinking about the name of late...I've been thinking that the names could potentially work together as we are hoping to have a few siblings for Matilda (2 or 3!) and I think they could work with some other names we love in the mix... I've been thinking Matilda, River, Wolfe and Aurora work well together as siblings... What do you think?
So wondering...what are your thoughts on River... Is it usable/too limiting? Too at odds with Matilda?? What would YOU name siblings of Matilda & River?
June 30th, 2013 05:21 AM #3
It is a tiny bit at odds with just the two names, but I really like your potential set of four!若兰

I really like Matilda and River as siblings! Stylistically, they're quite different, but I still like them together. I think it works. My first thought for their siblings are Liv/Olive/Olivia/Livia (or even Lavinia, nn Liv?) and Clementine for girls, and oddly enough, Pascal for a boy. I think Matilda, River, Clementine, and Pascal would be amazing. Although I don't know why. haha. I think the nns Emmy (or even Cleo) and Cal would be really cool with Tilly and River.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

In a previous blog, I discussed an Application Architecture for a Hybrid Cloud Architecture. In that case, I discussed building the Web/Mobile Application Server in the Cloud. However, not everyone can make such a drastic jump into the cloud. In reality, your journey to the cloud may happen in a finer grained fashion. There are places in your on-premise implementations that you can start offloading function to the cloud and gain immediate benefit. Using cloud based services can end up saving you hardware, implementation costs, and so forth. There are several use cases you can think about offloading to a service in the cloud. Some examples include:
- Mobile Push Notifications
- Edge Caching Services (many do this via a CDN)
- Management Use Cases
- Testing
- etc....
Let's look at Mobile Push Notifications as an example. A typical implementation of push notifications on-premise is to have a Mobile Gateway Server, such as IBM Worklight. Worklight implements a Push Notification Service allowing you to have a single API where you can send push notifications through APNs, Google Cloud Messaging, SMS, and others. A typical implementation is shown in the figure below.
Worklight makes it easier by giving you a framework and implementation for doing Unified Push Notifications. However, it requires you to maintain the application artifacts, scale, and so forth. Since mobile notifications require you to go through a provider's network, you are already sending messages through a proxy such as Apple or Google. So in essence, Worklight is providing a place where you can generalize push out to different networks. Messages are usually driven by some back end event, so with this implementation, you usually have to integrate your backends (usually a messaging provider like MQ) to the push notification service. Again, this is not a bad thing, however, there is a cost to integration as you scale and so forth. It is possible you could provide this implementation as a PureApp Pattern as a private cloud implementation and therefore providing a service to other parts of your organization.
You can envision this type of service being offloaded to the public cloud, given that you have to already send messages through someone else's network. The figure below shows the same implementation using IBM BlueMix.
In this case, your ESB tier can use the Push service in Bluemix to send the Push Message directly to the Cloud and allow Bluemix to worry about sending notifications to APNs or the GCM. You can immediate see the savings in hardware, implementation, integration, testing, and so forth.
Net/net, you need to think about what type of cloud services can you use with your on-premise implementations that can give you immediate savings. Example.

DETROIT (AP) -- Two men have been charged in the shooting death of a 27-year-old man who was attending a Detroit anti-violence vigil.
The Wayne County prosecutor's office says Friday that Freddie Marshall and Erick Peoples, both 36, are charged with first-degree murder.
Antonio Booker was wounded while taking part in the Sunday night candlelight vigil in southwest Detroit for a victim in a separate shooting case when two men rode by on bicycles and fired shots into the crowd. Booker, of Detroit, later died.

Rainshower relay race
Water games are great kids party games especially in the warmer months. The rainshower relay race will keep your kids active and laughing as they have fun.
Number of players:
What you need:
- 2 buckets per team
- large ziplock bags
- pins
Divide the players into two teams.
Take the ziplock bags and prick lots of holes in the bottom with a pin.
Give each team a bag.
Sit each team down in a line.
Place one bucket filled with water behind the last player of each team.
Mark the other bucket at the halfway mark and place it in front of the first player.
The race starts when the first player from each team runs to the back of the line with their bag and fills it with water.
The player then passes the bag to the last player who must pass it over his head to the player in front of him and so on until the bag arrives at the front of the line.
The player at the front must dump the remaining water in the empty bucket and then run to the back of the line and refill the bag.
The player repeats the process.
The race continues until one of the teams have filled their front bucket to the half-way mark. The first team to finish is the winner.

I know I'm pretty new on here and don't know any of you, but if you're the praying kind, I was hoping that you might put in a word for my wife and son.
We found out last Thursday that he's a boy and as well as can be determined from ultrasounds and blood screenings, he's healthy.
About 10 minutes later, we found out that my wife was getting put in an ambulance and transported to the hospital and will most likely remain there and in bed until she delivers.
She's 22 weeks and her cervix is dilated with the amniotic sac bulging out and she had an infection starting, which could spread to him and put both of them at risk.
The doctor had to prepare us for the possibility that they couldn't get the infection under control, in which case they would have to induce labor and deliver him. That would be a death sentence for him any time prior to 24 weeks and even after that, the odds aren't in his favor for at least another month.
As of yesterday, the infection has responded well to antibiotics and the doctor who admitted her (a specialist, not her regular OB) checked up on her yesterday and said that he was surprised she was still there, but that that's a good thing.
So, they're both good for now, but with the sac exposed, an infection could still get started again, so we're literally counting the days until 24 weeks - 8 days at this point.
The hospital is 1.5 hours away, so I'm having to work during the week and go down to see her on the weekends. Her mom came down to stay with her for a while and you couldn't ask for better nurses and doctors, so it's easier because I know they're both being well taken care of.
The whole pregnancy has been kind of surreal, I think it's been so long that we've been married and before we knew the sex, it didn't really click.
Thursday afternoon, after taking everything in and getting my wife settled in, it hit me - it's my son in there. Not just a baby or a fetus anymore, but my son.
While she was at the specialist, before he told us the bad news, he switched the ultrasound over to 3D, but I couldn't see a lot there, but luckily he gave us a copy. This weekend, I was looking at it again on my computer and I could see my son's face.
It's just amazing.
Thanks for listening.

Virologic Responses To New Nucleoside Regimens After Prolonged ZDV or ddI Monotherapy
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
To elucidate the relationship between virologic risk factors and immunologic and clinical progression in patients receiving monotherapy in protocol ACTG 175, and to compare new treatment regimens with combinations of reverse transcriptase inhibitors in long-term recipients of monotherapy. Specifically, to determine, in patients who have been taking zidovudine (AZT) alone for a long time, whether it is beneficial to add lamivudine (3TC) to AZT or to switch to d4T alone, and also to determine, in patients who have been taking didanosine (ddI) alone for a long time, whether it is beneficial to add AZT or AZT/3TC to ddI.
Characteristics of virus replication, pathogenicity, and resistance are thought to determine the durability of virologic and clinical response to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Previous results of ACTG 175 suggest that either a switch to ddI or addition of ddI in patients receiving AZT results in better clinical, virologic, and CD4 cell response compared to continuation of AZT alone.

Characteristics of virus replication, pathogenicity, and resistance are thought to determine the durability of virologic and clinical response to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Previous results of ACTG 175 suggest that either a switch to ddI or addition of ddI in patients receiving AZT results in better clinical, virologic, and CD4 cell response compared to continuation of AZT alone.
Patients with prior AZT experience only are randomized to receive either d4T alone or AZT/3TC. Patients with prior ddI experience only are randomized to receive ddI/AZT or ddI/AZT/3TC. PER AMENDMENT 8/27/96: The study has been extended 6 months and treatment will be available until March 15, 1997 at the latest. Each patient will have regularly scheduled 12 week safety visits during the extension period.
AS PER AMENDMENT 1/22/97: The study has been extended for approximately 16 additional weeks beyond the current 6-month extension. Subjects will be unblinded to their assigned regimen beginning 2/21/97 and will continue therapy for up to 16 weeks in open-label fashion. AS PER AMENDMENT 5/9/97: The study has been extended for an additional 8 weeks; study drug will not be provided after 9/15/97.

Iowa 2012 corn yields ended at 137 bu/acre (see USDA-NASS data), dropping 22 percent below the 30-year trend line yield of 180 bu/acre. For comparison, in 1988 Iowa corn yields were 29 percent below trend line. Based on the U.S. Drought Monitor and modeled soil moisture data from Mesonet (Volumetric Soil Water Map), 2013 conditions so far appear worse than those of 2012. Optimism wanes for normal soil moisture profiles at planting. That concerns most of us connected to agriculture across Iowa, which really should be everyone! Remember, soil moisture conditions were a hot topic for us last winter as well. I addressed that situation beginning with a series of ICM articles in January 2012 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
It doesn't surprise any of us that in areas of the Corn Belt with poorer soils and/or reduced rainfall, farmers typically reduce plant populations to compensate for conditions. Is that something we should again consider in Iowa if conditions remain dry at planting? In part based on concerns at planting in 2012, Iowa farmers as well as those across most of the Corn Belt reduced plant populations relative to those used in 2011 for the first time since 2000. Iowa corn plant populations in 2012 dropped to 30,100 plants per acre (ppa) from 30,750 in 2011 (see Figure 8 linked in the endnotes). Albeit, that is not a huge decrease; but it does reflect pessimistic sentiments at planting in 2012. This change will slow the consistent trend of increased plants per acre of about 400 plants per acre per year since the turn of the 21st century. With that as history, what should we think about this spring?
Should you consider lower plant populations if it is dry at planting in 2013?
Modeling Methods
As in last year's versions of these articles, I used a corn simulation model (Hybrid-Maize) to answer this question. The model uses historic weather data from automated weather stations. In this case, I used data from seven of Iowa State University's research and demonstration farms, one in each of the four corners of Iowa and the others in northern and west central Iowa and one near Ames in central Iowa.
The model allows users to change soil moisture conditions at planting to simulate different possibilities. This year, I compared two scenarios:
- 'Normal:' 75 percent Field Capacity (FC) in the topsoil (0-12 inches) and 100 percent FC in the subsoil (12-40 inches), and
- 'Very Dry:' 25 percent FC in both topsoil and subsoil.
I realize that some Iowa soils are wetter than 25 percent FC; so the second possibility may be overly pessimistic for those areas. Other common inputs for each site modeled are provided in Table 1. Factors that varied across locations such as soil textures are shown in Table 2.
Given the two soil moisture scenarios at planting, the model allows us to estimate the effects of changing plant populations, as well as other factors, on simulated yield. The model predicts corn growth based on temperature, solar radiation, and precipitation actually recorded in the automated weather database for each research and development farm. It does not account for factors like insect feeding, diseases, weed competition, nutrient deficiency, hail, wind damage, etc.
For this comparison, I used a single 'generic' hybrid at each location: NW, N, and NE locations: 2500 GDD (about 105 days RM); West Central, Central, SW, and SE locations, 2600 GDD (110 days). For the analysis in this article, I compared final plant populations of 27,000, 32,000 and 37,000 ppa at each location with each of the two soil moisture scenarios at planting.
Simulation Results
Wet soils at planting
Probabilities for different plant population responses with different soil moisture conditions at planting are shown in Table 3. At Kanawha and Ames for example, if we start the season with a wet soil profile, responses in all the previous years (16 and 27 years of weather history in the database for Kanawha and Ames, respectively) would always favor planting 37,000 ppa over 32,000 ppa. Likewise, the lowest population, 27,000 ppa, always yielded less than the middle population, 32,000 ppa, when soils were wet at planting at both of these locations.
For another example, at Sutherland in NW Iowa, 37,000 ppa out-yielded 32,000 ppa in 23 of the 25 years, 92 percent, when soils were wet at planting. The lowest population, 27,000 ppa, increased yields over 32,000 ppa in only four of the 25 years, 16 percent. However, in 2012, simulated yields with 27,000 ppa were greater than those of 37,000 ppa by an estimated 6 bu/acre (noted by the asterisks in Table 3). In most cases, if soils are wet at planting, staying with higher seeding rates would improve yields at all locations.
Very dry soils at planting
If we start the growing season with very dry soil profiles, optimism for high yields plummets along with probabilities of yield increases with high plant populations (Table 3). To illustrate this, look at the responses at Castana in WC Iowa. If we start with a very dry soil at planting, yields with 37,000 ppa are greater than those of 32,000 ppa just over half the time, 56 percent. Likewise, 32,000 ppa outperforms 27,000 ppa 60 percent of the time. In a year like 2012, 27,000 ppa would out-yield corn at 37,000 ppa by an estimated 9 bu/acre. That was true at Kanawha, Nashua and Ames as well. If soils are dry at planting, higher plant populations may reduce yields compared to lower plant populations.
Similar to modeled data in January 2012 ICM News, these modeled yields show that higher plant populations improve the chances for higher yields in high-yielding years (see figures linked in the endnote). In lower-yielding years, yields resulting from different plant populations are more similar; thus, seed costs associated with higher populations may not be offset by yield increases in lower yielding years when the soil is dry at planting. But the probabilities of greater returns from higher seeding rates in better years would seem to counterbalance those concerns.
We all know that many things can happen between now and planting. Normal seeding rate/ plant population recommendations are based on full soil profiles at planting (typical plant population responses). If 2013 soil moisture conditions do not improve, that is soils are dry at planting, be conservative on seeding rates changes. Although planting to achieve high plant populations is a good approach in most years, 2013 may be the year to not push seeding rates to higher levels especially in drought-prone soils. Meanwhile, as before, let's hope for complete recharge of our soil in the weeks remaining before planting!
This article summarizes portions of a 2013 Crop Advantage Series talk presented in January 2013. Detailed summary graphics for each location modeled are available.

Topic: Whipple Survivor New Problem
Hello CC Warriors! It's been awhile. Teddy is now 75 and had his Whipple 2 1/2 years ago. Everything was going great, still working full time and golfing. Last MRI showed a blockage in his right kidney drain and the kidney is very swollen. He is going in Monday morning to have a drainage tube inserted and will wear a bag for awhile. Bags he is used to having had 3 after the Whipple. The Urologist said the blockage could be "something from the Whipple" surgery, a stone or cancer. What has me is this Urologist keeps reminding me that what Teddy survived, few do and it HAS been 1 1/2 years. Has anyone had any kind of blockage like this? Also since the Dr. made the survival remark to me twice, I am wondering what he really suspects? He is a top Urologist here but I guess his bedside manner is kind of "pissy"! Stay strong and keep up the good fight!
I am in awe of all of you! Lainy Sardina


text: Woodrow tops Riverside, solidifies playoff hopes By Ryan Pritt October 19, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp Woodrow's Ramon Edwards eludes Riverside's Trevor Rumberg. Woodrow Wilson senior quarterback Andrew Johnson had seen the scenario in each of the past two years.His Flying Eagles facing an underdog Riverside team late in the year with a playoff berth hanging in the balance, and twice before Woodrow came up short (although the Eagles still made the playoffs at 5-5 last year).However, Johnson was not about to let history repeat itself a third time.Johnson threw his team on his back on Friday, rushing for a pair of touchdowns and throwing for two as the No. 11-ranked Flying Eagles spoiled the Warriors' homecoming with a 36-13 win in Quincy.Johnson rushed for 99 yards and threw for 99, completing 8 of 12 passes."Last year and the year before that when we came up here, they got us," Johnson said. "That kicked us out of the playoffs my 10th-grade year, and if we'd have won that game we'd have been in the playoffs three years in a row because I plan on going this year, too."Woodrow Wilson (6-3) sure looked like a playoff team the majority of the evening, as it squeezed the Riverside ground game to just 43 yards on 24 carries while churning out 265 rushing yards of its own."In the second half we just told them, 'We're going to ride our seniors,'" Woodrow coach John H. Lilly said. "'If you guys want to go to the playoffs, you've got to go out there and win tonight.'" Early on, it looked like winning would be a given. The Flying Eagles scored on their first two possessions after forcing a pair of three-and-outs.Marcus Mickey punched it in from 1 yard out to start the scoring and Johnson hit Ramon Edwards for a 17-yard touchdown on fourth-and-9 to end Woodrow's second drive in the first quarter. Woodrow was able to cash in on 2-point conversions on each occasion and the Flying Eagles had a quick 16-0 lead.Johnson was efficient throughout the first half, completing 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards, and had a 32-yard touchdown pass to Edwards called back on a holding penalty.Speaking of which, Woodrow went beyond shooting itself in the foot and nearly committed football suicide early on. The Flying Eagles were charged with 10 penalties for 90 yards in the first two quarters and 125 yards on 14 flags for the game."I just think everybody was jacked up," Lilly said. "We've played each other forever and it's kind of turned into a little bit of a rivalry game. I think our kids get jacked up for it a little bit." Woodrow mistakes directly led to Riverside's first score.After Edwards was charged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a spectacular one-handed catch on Woodrow's second 2-point conversion, the Eagles had to kick off from the 25-yard line and Riverside ended up setting up shop on Woodrow's 45. Three more Woodrow personal fouls on the ensuing drive resulted in two Riverside first downs, and eventually Aaron Halstead found the end zone from 3 yards out to get the Warriors (1-7) back into the game for the time being.But Johnson took over in the second half, hitting Cole Williams on an 18-yard touchdown throw in the third quarter and running in from 20 and 17 yards out in the fourth to ice it for Woodrow."He's broke every school record that we have, so that speaks volumes," Lilly said of Johnson. "The biggest thing I can say about him is that he's a great kid. On the field, off the field, he's a great kid, I love him to death. He's got a bright future ahead of him. They've had our number for a couple of years and it was real important to us to get it this year."Riverside dropped its seventh straight game after winning the season opener over St. Albans.It's been a tough row to hoe for Riverside coach Ralph Hensley and a group of inexperienced players, including quarterback Trevor Rumberg, who had never played the position before this year."They made some plays and we didn't make very many," Hensley said. "We kept it close in the first half and we've done that a bunch of times this year. Our guys are still practicing hard and playing hard and we're really proud of that. It's just one of those years where things aren't falling our way." Halstead found the end zone again in the fourth quarter for Riverside, returning an Edwards fumble 7 yards to bring the score to 30-13 before Johnson's last scoring run.Edwards added 84 yards rushing on nine carries for the Flying Eagles while Williams had team bests with five receptions and 75 yards.Marcus Reed hauled in eight passes for 114 yards while Damarrie' Lain caught seven balls for 62 yards for the Warriors. Rumberg finished with 155 yards on 17-of-32 passing.Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, firstname.lastname@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/RPritt.

EVESHAM'S MP is to be knighted for more than two decades of public and political service for people in Worcestershire.
Peter Luff, MP for Mid Worcestershire, is to become "Sir Peter" after he was named in the New Year Honours list published on Monday.
The 58-year-old, who will retire from Parliament ahead of the next general election in 2015, said the award was an "honour".
"I was very surprised and it is a wonderful end to my political career, the icing on the cake of a great time in politics," he said.
"This is an honour I share with my constituents as, without the confidence they have shown in me, I would not have got this.
"I am very grateful to all the people who have supported me so long and I want to share this with them.
"Without the enormous support of my wife, it would not have happened at all. It is an honour."
The citation from the Cabinet Office read: "He was a scrupulously non-partisan chair of two select committees and has also served as a Parliamentary private secretary (in three departments), Parliamentary under secretary of state and a whip.
"He is co-chair of the speakers' advisory committee on the 2015 anniversaries. He is a long-standing campaigner for British engineering, with an emphasis on the need for more young people to train as engineers and scientists.
He supports numerous charitable organisations in his constituency."
He said his wife Julia, also his secretary, and children, Rosie, 28, and Oliver, 25, were all thrilled he is to be knighted.
Mr Luff was first elected as MP for Worcester in 1992 and then for the new Mid Worcestershire seat in 1997.

Arizona's top three scorers took turns helping the Wildcat offense get back on track in a 70-52 win over Washington tonight at McKale Center.
Solomon Hill had 19 points and six rebounds, while Mark Lyons had 14 points and Nick Johnson 12 points with five assists in Arizona's easiest win since a Feb. 2 victory at Washington State.
Together, the Wildcats shot 47.1 percent from the field while holding Washington to 30.8-percent shooting.
Arizona was trailing 11-8 early before Lyons scored 10 points over 90 seconds in the first half, while Hill scored most of his 16 points late in the first half. Early in the second, Nick Johnson heated up offensively to put the game away.
Meanwhile, UA center Kaleb Tarczewski collected 10 points and seven rebounds.
The win moved Arizona to 22-4 overall and 10-4 in the Pac-12, where the Wildcats are a game in the loss column behind first-place Oregon. Washington dropped to 14-13 and 6-8.
The Wildcats had lost two of their previous three games, and looked shaky in the win – a 68-64 win at Utah on Sunday. But Washington has struggled even more, losing seven of it last nine before Wednesday.
Johnson all but put the Huskies out of their misery tonight, scoring nine points over a four-minute span that put UA ahead 49-29 with 13:42 left. After having missed his five field goals in the first half, Johnson warmed up with a couple of easy baskets inside before making two more layups and a three-pointer during his streak.
Johnson's scoring helped Arizona begin the second half on an 11-4 run to take a 44-29 lead at the first media timeout (15:57). They held the Huskies to 2 of 8 shooting and forced two turnovers.
While Johnson missed all five shots he took in the first half, it was his backcourt mate, Lyons, who took over first. Lyons scored 10 quick points in the middle of the first half to wake up a stagnant Arizona offense and help the Wildcats take a 33-25 halftime lead.
Lyons finished with 12 points on 3-for-6 shooting while teammate Solomon Hill led all scorers in the first half with 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting.
Lyons' scoring spree put UA up 18-16 with 6:37 left when he hit hit second three-pointer, then it was Hill's turn. Hill scored 10 points over the final six minutes of the half while Arizona built its lead to eight points, then added another quick bucket in the second half when Arizona outscored UW 6-1 in the first 1:46 after halftime.
Two of Hill's 19 points came on technical free throws, after Washington's Aziz N'Diaye was whistled for a technical after shoving UA's Kevin Parrom.
The two seniors helped UA overcome scoreless first-half efforts from Johnson (0 for 5 from the field), Parrom (0-2) and Grant Jerrett (0-2).
Early in the game, both teams played tough defense, much as they did in UA's 57-53 win in Seattle on Jan. 31. Arizona hit 35.7 percent from the field while Washington was at 35.5 percent.
Arizona outrebounded the Huskies 23-17 before halftime, however.
The Wildcats' offense struggled early against Washington's defense, which forced them to go deep into the shot clock several times. UA managed just eight points through nearly the first 12 minutes before Lyons began his 10-point spurt.
Arizona trailed 7-5 at the first media timeout (14:59). The Wildcats made just two of their first seven shots and turned the ball over twice to that point, while being forced to go deep into the shot clock several times.
UA tried entering lightly used Gabe York ahead of Jordin Mayes off the bench at guard, but York did not take a shot in four minutes. Mayes did not play at all in the first half but did get in the second half.
York finished with three points on 1 of 2 three-point shooting.

To get a sense of how difficult the process of overhauling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be, witness the latest kerfuffle over whether the companies' regulator should drop the maximum loan limits.
In a letter released Thursday, some 66 members of the House of Representatives—59 Democrats and 7 Republicans—called on the Federal Housing Finance Agency to drop previously announced plans to reduce the limits.
The agency said in August it was considering a reduction in the loan limits, which are set at $417,000 for most of the U.S. but rise to as high as $625,500 in high-cost housing markets such as Los Angeles and New York. Officials had initially said any decline would take effect by Jan. 1, though discussions in recent weeks have suggested that timetable could be delayed, according to people familiar with the matter.
The letter from lawmakers suggested that Edward DeMarco, the acting director, didn't have the authority to unilaterally drop loan limits, and it used Mr. DeMarco's prior testimony before Congress to argue their case. "I don't intend to act unilaterally in lowering the loan limit because the Congress of the United States has been so actively and repeatedly involved in adjusting the conforming loan limit," he said during a 2011 hearing.
The move would be "inconsistent with my responsibilities as conservator," he added. "I really and truly believe that the Congress of the United States is the body that should make the determinations about the future path of the loan limit if it is going to be something other than what current law provides."
Lawmakers responded thusly in their letter: "We could not agree more."
The FHFA first announced the policy change was under consideration on August 6, after President Barack Obama's speech on the housing market. A companion memo from the White House called on the FHFA to "closely examine" using existing authority "to reduce loan limits further consistent with the pace of the recovery [and] market developments."
While most lawmakers have said they believe Fannie and Freddie need to be replaced, Congress has been slow to take action to press for an overhaul, though discussions have heated up in recent months. Absent clear direction from Congress and the White House, the FHFA has kept the companies in a holding pattern.
Along with raising fees that Fannie and Freddie charge to lenders, reducing loan limits are a major lever to reduce the firms' large presence in the mortgage market. Large banks and private firms that have stepped up issuance of mortgage-backed securities without government backing have said that modest declines in the loan limits would help spur more private lending, though some have conceded borrowers without 20% down payments or pristine credit scores could face fewer options for getting a mortgage.
Earlier this week, major real-estate industry trade groups asked the FHFA to delay any scheduled declines in loan limits.
A spokeswoman for the FHFA didn't respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
