Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is a mild, self-limited viral disease. Humans are the only known natural host. In up to 50 percent of persons who are not immune, a diffuse maculopapular red rash develops in two to three weeks after contact with secretions from the mouth or nose of an infected person. From 20 to 50 percent of those infected do not develop symptoms, however. Along with the rash, infected persons may experience enlarged lymph glands, conjunctivitis, and runny nose. Adult women may also experience joint pain or swelling.
When infection occurs early in pregnancy, the risk of the fetus being infected may be as high as 90 percent. Consequences of fetal infection include miscarriages, stillbirths, and severe birth defects, known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Known defects include cataracts, heart defects, and hearing impairment. Up to 20 percent of the infants born to mothers infected during the first half of their pregnancy have CRS.
Because many people with rubella do not have symptoms, and because many rash illnesses look similar to rubella, a laboratory test is required to confirm rubella infection. A blood test can be used to detect rubella antibodies, and the virus can be cultured and isolated from a sample of blood, nasal or throat secretion, urine, spinal fluid, or body tissues such as cataracts.
Rubella circulates year-round, with a regular seasonal peak during springtime. Before the rubella vaccine was used in the United States, major epidemics occurred every six to nine years. The last major U.S. rubella epidemic occurred in 1964–1965 and caused an estimated 12.5 million cases of rubella and 20,000 cases of CRS in live-born infants. Prior to vaccine use, rubella occurred mainly among children. With the success of the U.S. rubella immunization program, the incidence of rubella has decreased by 99 percent to a reported 267 cases of rubella and six cases of CRS in 1999. In the United States, most cases of rubella now occur mainly among adults who were born in countries that do not have a long history of widespread vaccination.
In 1969, three rubella vaccines were licensed for use in the United States. In 1979, the currently used vaccine—called RA27/3—was introduced, replacing the other three. More than 95 percent of those vaccinated develop lifelong immunity. In the United States, one dose of rubella vaccine is recommended for all susceptible persons twelve months of age and older, unless vaccination is contraindicated.
Side effects following vaccination include low-grade fever, rash, joint pain and swelling, and lymphadenopathy. Joint pain and transient joint swelling tend to be more severe in vaccinated
Although use of rubella vaccine is contraindicated in pregnant women or women planning pregnancy within three months, the U.S. registry on inadvertent vaccination in pregnancy has documented that all infants listed in the registry were free of defects associated with CRS. These data are consistent with results reported from other countries. Other groups that should not be given the vaccine include persons with immunodeficiency diseases or compromised immune systems and those who have recently received immunoglobulin or have severe fever.

Suppliers hint at changes to MacBook Air -- Digitimes
One of the first MacBook Air rumors of the season alludes to internal changes but few external tweaks.
A fresh report from the not-always-reliable Taipei-based Digitimes claims the "industrial design will not see any major changes" in 2013.
Apple introduced the accentuated wedge aesthetic in late 2010 (see photo above), so about a year and a half will have transpired if new MBAs are introduced in the first half of 2013.
The report makes no mention of displays, but that's an area of intense focus for Apple. The high end of the MacBook Pro line now sports … Read more

One thing I rarely find mentioned in these docs, but that I personally think is handy, is the AllowUsers field in sshd_config. If you set it up to allow only your own account then you don't need to worry about weaker passwords on other accounts (my kids both have accounts on my Linux system and they can't be bothered to remember complex passwords). I'd love to use a different port but I can't: my company has a very strict firewall that allows only ports 22 and 80 _outgoing_ (I know, right?), so if I change my port I won't be able to get in from work. Same issue with port knocking and similar solutions.
Preventing brute force ssh attacks
Posted Oct 25, 2007 16:29 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
You think that's strict. Ours allows only port 80 and that through a transproxy that mangles `advanced' features like HTTP/1.1 or pipelining. No 443, no 22, and ssh is `too insecure' although unsecured telnet is fine if the connection initiator happens to be in management. (Yes, I need to switch jobs.)
Posted Oct 25, 2007 18:16 UTC (Thu) by madscientist (subscriber, #16861) [Link]
Oh right, we do allow 443 as well. And our IT department just installed a proxy here too. WHAT A PAIN! I've been filing case after case getting them to re-open access to sites I need. And, there's some bizarre feature that I don't completely understand, where all HTTPS traffic is forwarded through the proxy and so it comes with the wrong (or anyway additional) encryption, so signatures don't match and all sorts of other messy things. Of course the thing is only tightly integrated with Internet Explorer, so if you use any other browser, even on Windows, you have to enter your password info, which then times out again (how anyone can imagine that promoting the use of IE is a security _enhancement_ utterly escapes me but...) I've arrived at work in the morning and had 100's of dialogs I have to get rid of from my RSS feeds, my weather applets, etc. when my password times out after I've left for the day. It's hard for me to believe the benefits really outweigh the costs here, but I guess I only see the costs and not the benefits.

This is why I like working for a university. Firewall? Sure, you can install your own if you want one. And we do have _some_ things walled off, but by and large most hosts are highly exposed to the internet. It drives vendors nuts, 'cause many of their products assume there's a draconian firewall between them an the world, so they claim they don't need to deal with security issues. They often know nothing about SSL, kerberos, keys,... they just trust the firewall which, to their amazement, isn't there! One of the best was a demo by an ERP vendor. They were showing off their stuff, how cool and secure it was. Then somebody in the back of the room with a wireless Mac laptop took over the presenter's session. He gave it back, but not before making his (and breaking the presenter's) point about the system's security.

Our lot blocked Google (`Proxy Avoidance'), *.oracle.com, and *.redhat.com (`Software Download') for a month. We're an Oracle-on-RHEL shop, so this was pretty disruptive, but apparently only the filter authors could remove the blocks, and the auditors wouldn't allow them to disable the filtering. It's all utterly insane.

Joe French became UMBC's all-time winningest softball coach with a 9-0 victory over Maryland-Eastern Shore on March 11, 2006, and French enters his ninth season as head coach of the Retrievers with 277 victories against 196 defeats, good for a .586 winning percentage.
French has been a mentor at every level, including junior college, Division-III, Division-II and Division-I, and he has been highly successful at every stop, setting records everywhere he went. He has coached more than 1,000 games in 20 seasons at the helm and racked up 703 wins combined in softball, women's basketball and tennis. His career records stand at 491-305-1 (.617) in 16 years of softball, 205-162 (.524) in 14 years of basketball and 7-3 (.700) in one season of tennis. As a college coach in all sports, he has posted an overall record of 703-470-1 for a .599 career winning percentage.
French's milestone 400th victory in softball was UMBC's last of the 2006 season but an important one at that, a 5-1 decision over top-seeded
While he has worked in college athletics, physical education and recreational sports since 1977, French's coaching career began in 1982 as the head women's basketball coach at Alfred State College in
French then moved on to
After five years as an assistant women's basketball coach at the
French came to UMBC, his first Division-I head coaching job, before the 2002 season, and he immediately led the Retrievers to their second-ever NCAA berth and a school-record 47 wins. The Retrievers defeated Bethune-Cookman in the NCAA play-in series for their first victory in an NCAA Tournament game in school history, and they also won a game in the NCAA Regionals with a 7-1 triumph over
In French's first two seasons at UMBC, his teams were 37-7 in Northeast Conference games. With a 40-22 record in 2003, the Retrievers posted back-to-back 40-win seasons for the first time in school history.
However, the next two seasons were more of a struggle for the Retrievers, as UMBC made the switch from the Northeast Conference to the more competitive America East. In doing so, French suffered his first two losing seasons since his first year at
"What you find in the America East are more athletic players who are more advanced, and are definitely bigger and stronger," said the coach, who added there are no easy outs in the league. "You have to get nine batters out every game, which is a challenge for the pitchers as well as the defense."
But 2006 was a different story for the Retrievers. UMBC won 46 games – the second-most in school history – and advanced to its first-ever America East Championships with an 11-10 conference mark.
In addition, in their first season without all-time hits, home runs and RBIs leader Kristie Pickeral, the Retrievers shattered all three team records, as well as team marks in runs, extra-base hits, walks and total bases. The power surge was infectious, as a school-record 14 different players hit at least one homer, and UMBC was one of just four Division-I teams with at least 80 round-trippers. The Retrievers were also one of the most prolific run-scoring teams in the nation, ranking second in the country with 6.53 runs per game.
While the 2007 Retrievers did not set records at the same rate as in the previous season, they achieved something even more important: their first-ever appearance in the America East Championship game. With a 13-8 record, UMBC was the second seed in the conference tournament, but eventually lost in the finals to three-time defending champion
Statistically, while not quite as prolific as the 2006 team, the 2007 squad still ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA in runs scored, home runs and doubles and the top 50 in slugging percentage and batting average.
Despite finishing the season four games under .500 overall in 2008, the Retrievers established themselves as a perennial contender with a third straight trip to the conference tournament, then made it four in a row in 2009, when they batted .285 and scored a league-best 265 runs.
During French's tenure at UMBC, his teams have combined for a .286 batting average with more than 3,600 hits, including 362 home runs.
UMBC's offensive outbursts over the last several seasons have just reaffirmed French's reputation as one of the best hitting coaches on the east coast. A strong believer in bat speed, line drive power and hitting to all fields, his 2002 and 2003 UMBC teams were also among the best in the nation offensively.
"Look for something you can hit," French said. "Be selective yet aggressive at the plate and finish your swing. On offense, the more times you can turn the lineup over, the more successful you should be."
A strong recruiter, French is his own recruiting coordinator and has a keen eye for talent, as he looks for strong athletes on the field who are also strong students in the classroom. Over the past 28 years, French's softball and basketball teams have been ranked both regionally and nationally. In addition, his players have received All-America, All-Region, All-ECAC and All-Conference honors.
In his first eight seasons at UMBC alone, French has coached eight All-Region players and 39 All-Conference athletes, including the 2002 NEC Rookie of the Year, the 2002 and 2003 NEC Players of the Year and the 2006 America East Player of the Year, as well as four Academic All-District team members. In addition, two of his players – Lisa Boone and Deanna Vecchio – have been inducted into the UMBC Athletic Hall of Fame.
Another first occurred for French and the Retrievers in 2006 when junior college transfer Melanie Denischuk – the America East Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team all-conference pick – was selected as a top-25 finalist for the prestigious USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award.
French received his bachelor's degree in recreation from SUNY-Brockport in 1977 and his master's in recreation from the

Thanks David; downloaded it an hour ago. :)
Hey, I would really like to get this plugin, but i don't like the idea of it downloading things automatically. I'd prefer to install everything on my computer manually and keep track of it.
Is there and option to disable this feature?
I just don't want to uninstall it in the future and have to hunt down downloaded files. Very tedious and time consuming! I use my package manager for everything in Linux!
I clicked the link above and cleared my hard drive of the older version (including recycle bin) and its not updating to the newest G-Mic. Showing as 220.127.116.11.
I had to go to the flickr site to get the updated version. As of last night, the link at the top of this post hadn't been updated.
You will need to go the the Sourceforge site and re-download G'MIC and replace those files Mahvin. No automatic way of updating the plugin itself. :)
The links at Sourceforge (listed at the top of this post), were not the providing the correct updated files (possibly hadn't been updated at the time after David posted it?). They were the older 184.108.40.206 files.
I had to go to the flickr G'MIC site to get the correct link to the updated Sourceforge links.

CAÑON CITY, COLO. -- The Fremont County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the burglary of the County Administration Building early Thursday morning.
According to police, it appeared a suspect or suspects entered by breaking a window on the building's roof. The building is located at 615 Macon.
Police said the Treasurer and Motor Vehicle offices were the only areas that appear to have been disturbed. A small amount of cash was stolen from the Treasurer's office, police said.
Detectives are still processing the scene and both offices will remain closed until Monday.

Objectives To describe the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of surgical patients who experience cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Design Retrospective cohort study.
Setting American College of Surgeons–National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP), 2005-2010.
Main Outcome Measures Incidence of CPR, complications, mortality, and survival to hospital discharge at 30 days or less after surgery.
Results A total of 6382 nontrauma patients (mean age, 68 years) underwent CPR; 85.9% of events occurred postoperatively, of which 49.8% occurred within 5 days after surgery. Overall incidence of CPR was 1 in 203 surgical cases but varied by specialty (1 in 33 for cardiac surgery vs 1 in 258 for general surgery). The mortality rates varied by specialty (45.0%-74.5%) and were associated with comorbidity burden (58.7% for no comorbidity, 63.1% for 1 comorbidity, and 72.8% for ≥2 comorbidities; P < .001). A total of 77.6% of CPR patients experienced a complication; approximately 75.0% occurred before or on the day of CPR, and septicemia (26.7%), ventilator dependence (22.1%), significant bleeding (13.9%), and renal impairment (11.9%) were the most common. The overall 30-day mortality was 71.6%. Survival to discharge in 30 postoperative days or less was 19.2%; 9.2% of CPR patients were alive but hospitalized at postoperative day 30. Older age, a preexisting do-not-resuscitate order, renal impairment, disseminated cancer, preoperative sepsis, and postoperative arrest were among the factors independently associated with worse survival.
Conclusions One in 203 surgical patients undergoes CPR, and more than 70.0% of patients die in 30 postoperative days or less. Complications commonly precede arrest; prevention or aggressive treatment of these complications may potentially prevent CPR and improve outcomes. These data could aid discussions regarding advance directives among surgical patients.

- With Mayo Clinic dermatologist
Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.

Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.
Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.
Dr. Lawrence Gibson likens bad health information on the Internet to food poisoning.
Consumers, he says, need to be aware and will find reliable information at MayoClinic.com.
Dr. Gibson, a Covington, Ky., native, has been with Mayo Clinic since 1986 and is board certified in dermatology, dermatopathology and immunodermatology. He is a professor of dermatology at Mayo Medical School and a consultant in the Department of Dermatology.
Dr. Gibson has served as the fellowship director for dermatopathology and as chair of the Laboratory Division in the Department of Dermatology. He is especially interested in inflammatory disorders of the skin, including vasculitis, and in lymphoma affecting the skin.
"Electronic information has become a staple in the diet of a health conscious society," he says. "It's important to avoid misinformation and provide a credible source for health information. Using this analogy, it's critical to avoid 'indigestion' or, worse yet, 'food poisoning' by the ingestion of tainted information."

Pregnancy acne: What's the best treatment?
What's the best way to treat pregnancy acne?
from Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.
You have many options for treating acne during pregnancy, including self-care and medication.
Pregnancy acne isn't a special form of acne. Many women simply seem to have trouble with acne during pregnancy. Although it isn't always clear what causes acne to get worse during pregnancy, the likely culprit for most women is an overproduction of oil (sebum) — which happens when certain hormones go into overdrive. Fortunately, you're not at the mercy of your hormones.
To treat pregnancy acne, start with self-care:
- Wash your face twice a day. Be gentle and use a mild cleanser with lukewarm water.
- If you have oily hair, shampoo daily. Be careful to keep hair off your face.
- Avoid picking, scratching, popping or squeezing acne sores. These habits can spread infection and potentially cause scarring.
- If you use cosmetics, stick to oil-free products. Look for descriptions such as water-based, noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic.
- Avoid resting your face in your hands. This can trap skin oils and sweat, which can irritate acne.
Medication is a second line of treatment for pregnancy acne. Any medication that's applied to your skin or swallowed can enter your bloodstream, so it's important to exercise caution during pregnancy — even with over-the-counter products.
Erythromycin (Erygel) is often the drug of choice for pregnancy acne. Azelaic acid (Azelex, Finacea) may be another option. Both medications are typically applied to the skin as a lotion or gel and are available by prescription.
Opinions about using benzoyl peroxide to treat pregnancy acne are mixed. There's little research on the safety of over-the-counter or prescription-strength benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy, although problems haven't been reported. In addition, any medication that could potentially cause birth defects — including isotretinoin and other retinoids, as well as minocycline, doxycycline and other tetracyclines — is generally avoided during pregnancy.
If you're concerned about pregnancy acne, consult your dermatologist or the health care provider who's handling your pregnancy. Together you can weigh the benefits and risks of various treatment options.

We pride ourselves on being a smart, savvy and forward thinking team dedicate to supporting our clients, our community and Seattle's thriving neighborhoods. Come experience the Diva Difference for yourself! |
Divas and their Dwellers are going to be featured on NPR's Morning Edition chatting just about the move from renter to home ownership on Monday, October 15, 2012. The Divas have seen a steady increase in first time Diva Dwellers in the past 2 years and the numbers are growing rapidly. Seattleites are saying goodbye to renting and hello to the joys of home ownership. For many the prospect of dealing with crappy landlords and skyrocketing rents is a HUGE motivation. Team Diva has always attracted a fair amount of first time home buyers. This year it has been fascinating to see this huge surge in first timers largely due to Seattle's still affordable housing market and interest rates so low that loans seem practically free. But for many of our Diva Dwellers, their motivation it often also about making a greater commitment to the urban community they are already living in or just building community in general.

When choosing eyewear (sunglasses or glasses) you want to mimic the shape of your face with the glasses. For example, if you have an oval face shape, you want to choose oval frames, or if you have a teardrop or spade face shape, you want to choose aviator-style glasses. Make sense?

The ICE Spring Break Conference wrapped up earlier this week. Day 3 was another big day of awesome presentations, and I thought that I was all set to share it with my friends in the blogosphere. Then my mobile devices (plural) and laptops (yes, also plural) began dying off from three days of only intermittent recharging. The sad fact was that my hotel room had only enough power outlets for the furnished lamps, television, and perhaps two more devices. What was a traveling tech-nerd to do? My idea of unplugging all the lights and television met with considerable ire from my roommate, so I had to compromise and put my devices on a rotating schedule of recharging. This little geeky misadventure led me to one conclusion. I will have to start traveling with a power strip. I'm not sure if this is the correct conclusion, but I'll give it a try.
Leaders Make Mistakes Too!!
Chris Cebollero
Chris Cebollero is the EMS Chief for Christian Hospital's EMS Division in the St. Louis metro area. In this class, he outlined the common pitfalls made by leaders on a daily basis. Besides presenting an appealing a topic, Chris piqued my interest by simultaneously recording his presentation for the EMS Leadership Podcast. Podcasting is like catnip for tech-nerds, so I was downright giddy within the first few minutes of his talk.
Chris outlined a laundry list of mistakes most common to EMS leaders. Some of the most notable are…
- Failing to communicate well
- Failing to delegate
- Failing to develop a vision
- Not setting goals with employees
- Not listening
- Failing to learn
- Not managing change
- Not making time for employees
- Not recognizing employee achievements (even if it's something as simple as picking up a shift on a holiday)
- Going for quick fix over lasting solutions
- Taking it all too seriously
- Say/Do Conflict (leadership is what you do – not what you say)
- Punishing the many for the sins of the few
- Confusing sameness with fairness (one size does not fit all – acknowledge the individual)
- Not forgetting the paperwork in the desk (if they were written-up last month, fine – leave it in the file and get back to setting them up for success)
I think procrastination was on the list, too. But we can talk about that some other time. Even with the several items I left out, his list is quite long. I could recall times when I had made many of those same mistakes, back in the days of… wait, I think I did most of those last month. Some twice.
His challenge to recognize and correct our mistakes was compelling to say the least. I decided I needed to stay put for his next breakout session.
Getting Things Done Without Getting Done In
Chris Cebollero
In a little over an hour, Chris had managed to help me feel better about my piteous history as a leader. He presented the audience with copies of the workbooks he uses to develop leaders in his organization. The focus of the material is to equip new leaders with the four primary skills of a leader: planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling. Without being able to offer the PDF to you, all I can say is they definitely have their act together at Christian Hospital's EMS Division. Well done, Chris!
Inspiration and Perspiration
Rommie Duckworth
Rommie opened the conference with a rousing keynote lecture, and he also did a great job of sending us on our merry way as the last speaker. Though he is the consummate professional and wouldn't complain about a job he loves, I couldn't help thinking that the opening and closing speaker really gets a raw deal. Rommie was either having to wake people up on the morning of the first day or keep them awake on the afternoon of the last day. He was certainly up to the task, though.
He described his role on 9/11/01 at Ground Zero, and the events that later gave him a unique opportunity to comfort a firefighter's widow and her son. Events such as these often fuel our fires as educators. They inspire us to teach the ones who will be in the field on the next "big one." The sweat from the brows of the field providers is really where it's at, but they need inspiration, too. As educators, that's part of our role in EMS. That's what it's all about – Inspiration and Perspiration.
I had a great time at the 2012 ICE Spring Break Conference, and I encourage EMS educators in the midwest to join us there for next year's event!

The Writing Child
I share Billy's mixed feelings about having a child who wants to be a writer.
When my daughter was five, she stated that she wanted to be an "offer who writes books." She has since moved on to aspire to own a bakery or become a sushi chef at the grocery store. Nonetheless, her behavior bears the telltale signs of latent writerdom. She composes little stories on the computer. She loves words, especially unusual or funny words like "uglicize." She reads beyond her grade level and most importantly, she has a powerful interior life. When we ride around in the van together, she does not keep up a running monologue. Instead, she lapses into periods of silence during which her mind travels far and wide. These silences usually end with random questions or statements. "Mom, how do they make stoves?" "Mom, is it OK to have bullies in a play?"
Writers know how writers think. Whether it comes through nature, nurture, or both, we can recognize the writing mind when we see it. My daughter has the writing personality. She doesn't know it yet, and I'm certainly not going to push her into it and risk killing her love for it.
So what is a real writing personality? Well, part of it is a kind of separateness from the world. I don't mean alienation. It's more like a deep independence that resists easy answers--a mind that goes searching for meaning whether its owner likes it or not. When I go to writers' conventions, it's almost shocking to see this same independence and interiority looking out at me from (almost) every face. I occupy the more social end of the writers' spectrum. I've found that my role at conferences is often to pull people out of their silent rumination at meals and get them talking to one another. But when they do start talking, oh, the fascinating and honest things they will say!
That independence makes writers capable of living out the greatest constant in the writing life: solitary thought and effort.
It's not always easy. There are times when I think of how much simpler my life would be if I were not a writer. I could spend more time with my friends and family, go to more happenings about town, watch more TV and movies, do all the things people do with their free time.
But I don't think I would be happy.
Writing allows me to live ten lives in the the time I would otherwise have lived one. After sharing the rich experience of my characters during the heights and depths of the greatest moments of their lives, I can't imagine not writing.
I have to admit that if I had a constant supply of the kind of novels I like to read, I probably would sit around consuming them instead of writing. But that ain't gonna happen. I don't like standard category fiction. I don't like standard literary fiction. I'm picky, and my punishment for it is that I myself have to write the type of novel I like.
Authors have been my best friends throughout my life--never fickle, never too busy to talk to me, radically democratic and unconcerned with the status of whoever is holding their book at any given time. Writing for its own sake is a generous act, an offering of communion and fellowship, and that's why it is good for the soul. (One of my critique partners and I talked the other day about the most common flaw in novels, which is writing for oneself instead of writing for others. Novels written for the sake of their author fall flat unless the reader happens to share exactly the same areas of self-rationalization and desire--a rare occurrence, what with the infinite variety of psychological profiles in the world.)
I don't care if my daughter ever wants to be published, or if she writes fiction or nonfiction. I just know that writing is the greatest blessing I've ever received, always a comfort to me even when nothing else seems to be going right. Despite the sacrifices that writing entails, I want my daughter to have this blessing too.

I love this statement, "Authors have been my best friends throughout my life--never fickle, never too busy to talk to me, radically democratic and unconcerned with the status of whoever is holding their book at any given time."
I, too, have often referred to authors and their books as my friends. - July 8, 2009 at 8:44 AM

You've said this much better than I, Rosslyn. I think writers are not born or made as much as they are called. And once you know that calling, there really isn't any going back.
Very well done! - July 8, 2009 at 9:17 AM
- Rosslyn Elliott said...
LOL! Oh no, Billy. My post is just random thoughts inspired by Billy Coffey's beautifully-written essay.
That's the difference between someone like you who really writes creative non-fiction and a novelist who dabbles in blogging. But I found your essay so stimulating that I couldn't resist conversing with it. - July 8, 2009 at 10:14 AM

Ditto to what Melissa said.
This is beautiful.
And you're write, I mean, right. Writers know how writers think. I see hints of it in my youngest daughter, and I try so hard to contain the excitement I feel because of that. :-) - July 9, 2009 at 11:05 AM
- Gwen Stewart--Singer-Scribe said...
You're spot on here, Rosslyn, and it's so true. Writers have a unique take. I think of it as constant ripples after dropping a rock in a pond: we're always contextualizing, making connections, sending bigger and bigger "feelers" out into the world. I also ask many questions of people--nothing personal, I'm just very curious and truly interested in others' lives. I find this to be true of most writers as well.
Of my two children, I think my son is the writer. His mind for details and ability to tell stories is stunning. But so far, no interest in actually putting words on paper. We'll see as he gets older!
This was a great post. Thanks for sharing! - July 9, 2009 at 5:29 PM

CROMWELL, Conn. -- We're still 45 minutes away from the final group of Brian Davis and Roland Thatcher teeing off. Both are trying to win for the first time on the PGA TOUR. Here's a sort of tale-of-the-tape of the two co-leaders.
Roland Thatcher
-- Thatcher, who hasn't made a cut since March and has made just three all year, is looking for his first top 10 of the year. He has just two top-10 finishes each of the last four seasons on TOUR.
-- Thatcher missed his previous two cuts at the Travelers Championship in 2009 and 2010. His only other start came in 2004 when he tied for 71st.
-- Twice, Thatcher has led going into the final round of an event. In 2004, he led at the Reno-Tahoe Open before finishing in a tie for fifth. In 2010, he was leading the Children's Miracle Network Classic going into the last day before finishing second.
-- Jason Dufner, who won twice on TOUR this year, and seven-time winner John Huston are the only former Auburn Tigers who have won on TOUR. Thatcher and Will Claxton, who is three strokes off the lead, are both former Tigers.
Brian Davis
-- Davis is looking for his fourth top-10 finish of the season, which would tie his personal best from 2009.
-- Davis has five runner-up finishes in 237 starts on TOUR -- but zero wins.
-- Davis is making his seventh start here. His only top 10 came last year (T9). Davis' last seven rounds at TPC River Highlands have been at 68 or better.
-- Davis' only other third-round lead/co-lead came at the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial when he was tied with Bryce Molder entering the final round. Davis shot 68, but Zach Johnson shot a 64 to win.
Brian davis shot 64 and Roland Thatcher 65 to share the lead at 12 under at the Travelers Championship.
HONOLULU -- The leaders have now reached the halfway point of their third rounds, and one thing seems apparent -- no player is going to run away with the championship.
Stuart Appleby and Roland Thatcher share the lead at 12 under, with Mark Wilson one stroke back. Shigeki Maruyama, Jimmy Walker and Steve Marino are at 10 under. Six other players are within four shots of the lead, with plenty of golf remaining in this 36-hole finish Sunday.
Thatcher has the hottest hand of the day. Teeing off on the 10th hole in the third round, he's a bogey-free 4 under through his first nine holes, having rolled in putts from inside 10 feet, from 14 feet and from outside 18 feet.
Appleby, who shared the 36-hole lead with Maruyama, hasn't gotten much help from his putter. He bogeyed the 14th after missing a par putt just outside six feet, then missed a birdie opportunity inside four feet at the par-4 16th.
He did, however, hit a brilliant shot out of the fairway bunker at the par-5 18th, leaving him a 3-foot, 5-inch putt for eagle that he drained, enabling him to jump back into a tie for the lead..
Maruyama has had to scramble for most of the first nine holes. He's missed five of his first seven fairways, and five of his first eight greens.
Thatcher briefly held the solo lead at 11 under after Maruyama bogeyed the 17th hole (his eight hole of the day).
HONOLULU -- The last time Roland Thatcher played a PGA TOUR event, he started the week 179th on the money list and in danger of losing his card. Not until the final putt dropped in the Children's Miracle Network Classic last November – the final event of the Fall Series -- did he secure his place inside the top 125 on the money list, thus avoiding q-school.
The nervous moments are still etched in his memory. He took a four-shot lead going into that Sunday at Disney but struggled on the back nine to fall off the pace. Facing a five-foot par putt on the last hole, Thatcher needed to make it to claim solo second and keep his card.
Mercifully, the putt dropped.
"I guarantee that experience took a year off my life," Thatcher said.
It also gave him motivation for this year, which is: "To not wait until the last moment, the last putt, the last tournament of the year," he said.
Evidently, he's serious about that. Thatcher's 5-under 65 on Saturday has him in contention going into the final day, with 36 holes set for Sunday. He's two shots behind leader Shigeki Maruyama, with the afternoon wave still on the course.
Thatcher did have his struggles in the second round. After opening with consecutive birdies, he gave those strokes away with a double bogey on the 14th hole (his fifth of the day after starting his round off the 10th tee).
After that, he played bogey-free, with a birdie at the par-5 18th, then four birdies in his final nine holes.
"The swing has been at times really good and at times not so good," Thatcher said. "But I guess really the best thing I've been doing is placing the ball in the right spots. Misses have been easy up-and-downs or easy putts and I haven't really put too much stress on myself to this point."
Saturday's 65 is by far the best of his seven career rounds here. In his three previous starts at Waialae, he missed the cut twice.
"I'm a late-in-the-year guy," Thatcher said. "The fact that I'm even playing the weekend here is good news."
Still, he wants to use last November's near-disaster in a positive manner. Shooting 8 under through the first two rounds of the year is exactly what he needed.
"Instead of being dead exhausted at the end of the year," Thatcher said, "I think I had a little extra pep in my step heading into the offseason and actually didn't take any time off at all. I was in the gym and on the golf course on Tuesday after that Sunday round.
"I tried to hit this year with a little bit quicker start. So far, it's paying off." -- Mike McAllister/Heather Deranek
If not for Spencer Levin, Roland Thatcher might not be in Hawaii right now. It was Levin who Thatcher was tied for second with late at the season-ending Children's Miracle Network Classic, where Thatcher, who entering that week was 179th on the money list, needed at least a solo second to finish inside the top 125 on the money list. Levin, who was paired with Thatcher, bogeyed the final hole and Thatcher got his card for this season.
Fast forward to Saturday at Waialae and Thatcher is taking full advantage of the opportunity. Thatcher is 4 under in his second round and 7 under for the week and hovering near the top of the leaderboard.
He has plenty of company, however, with Shigeki Maruyama at 8 under after playing his first 13 holes in 3 under. Steve Marino is also at 7 under, while Chris DiMarco, after a second straight 67, is among a group at 6 under that includes Matt Kuchar.r
Roland Thatcher is eight holes away from winning his first career PGA TOUR title. After a slow start, Thatcher is 2 under on his round and is alone atop the leaderboard – for now – at 20 under. One shot back, though, is Robert Garrigus, while Johnson Wagner and Spencer Levine are each three back. Rickie Fowler is four back.
Should Thatcher win, he would obviously lock up a card for the next two years. If he comes in solo second, though, that would also be enough to land him a spot in the top 125 on the money list.
Speaking of that top 125, Wagner is now projected to climb to 125th should the leaderboard remain the same the rest of the way. Briny Baird? He's now projected at 127th (Mark Wilson is actually projected at 126th, but thanks to his win in Mexico last season, he's safe for another year). -- Brian Wacker
What was a six-shot lead for Roland Thatcher at one point in the third round is now down to just one -- Thatcher is even through his first five holes, while Robert Garrigus is 4 under through six and now 17 under for the week.
KODAK UPDATE: Troy Merritt had a chance to win the Kodak Challenge with a birdie on the par-4 17th Sunday, but he managed just a par. Merritt had 150 yards in and hit his approach shot to 33 feet, but he missed the putt. That means unless Rickie Fowler or Aaron Baddeley eagles the hole there will be a three-way playoff following the conclusion of the tournament.
MONEY LIST MOVERS: A number of players are vying for a spot in the top 125, but two players are trying to squeeze out a spot in the 30 here in the final round. In essence, if Heath Slocum can finish higher than J.B. Holmes on the leaderboard here at Disney, he'll move inside the top 30 and secure a spot in the field for next year's Masters and U.S. Open.
FOWLER IN CONTENTION: Rickie Fowler is 3 under through his first eight holes … and suddenly in contention at 14 under. That also could have a direct impact on Brett Wetterich's future. Wetterich, who is now tied with Fowler, needs to finish solo third or better to fulfill his major medical exemption, which would make him fully exempt for 2011. Wetterich does however at least have one more start next year, not to mention q-school this year, if he needs it. The point? There's a lot of fluidity on the leaderboard right now in terms of the top 125.
A double bogey, bogey finish isn't exactly the way Roland Thatcher wanted to end his round. The good news for the 33-year-old is that he still has a four-shot lead going into the final round.
Chris Stroud had a chance to narrow that gap to two, but a bogey on the final hole dropped him to 14 under.
For Thatcher, this is just the second time in his career that he's held the 54-hole lead -- the last was at the 2004 Reno-Tahoe Open, where he tied for fifth. His total of 198 through three rounds is also the lowest 54-hole total of his career by one stroke.
Thatcher isn't the only one with a lot on the line, though. Briny Baird entered the week 126th on the money list and is still projected in that position after playing his first three rounds in 7 under, which puts him in a tie for 32nd.
Troy Merritt, who has a share of the Kodak Challenge lead and can win the $1million prize with a birdie on No. 17 on Sunday (unless Rickie Fowler or Aaron Baddeley eagle), will also have his eye on the money list. He dropped two spots in the projections to 123rd and needs a solid round Sunday to stay in the top 125.
In other words, Sunday should supply plenty of storylines.

Microsoft's Outlook takes aim at Gmail
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft is so confident it has the Internet's best email service that it is about to spend at least $30 million to send its message across the U.S.
The barrage begins Tuesday when Microsoft's twist on email, Outlook.com, escalates an assault on rival services from Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc. and a long list of Internet service providers.
As part of the process, all users of Microsoft's Hotmail and other email services operating under different domains such as MSN.com will be automatically converted to Outlook.com by the summer, if they don't voluntarily switch before then. All the old messages, contacts and settings in the old inboxes will be exported to Outlook.com. Users will also be able to keep their old addresses.

This was my column in the print newspaper (Is that redundant? I think it might be) this week, but here it is here too. It seemed to get a decent amount of reaction, especially on the Twitters.
HELLO! Have a seat and let Uncle Brad tell you a story about technology.
Back in the days of yore, about 1996, we had one computer with Internet capability in our office. When the occupant of that desk vacated it to go gather kindling or kill pterodactyls, we would rush over to check our Yahoo! email. Sometimes we got as many as five emails in a day!
As you might have observed on your own, there are now more ways to communicate than ever before. (Someone please put this column in a time capsule and use your hologram technology to remind me of it in 15 years.)
Here in newspaperland, we're trying to use many of those tools to get the news out and to encourage you, citizens and readers, to tell us what's important to you.
How are we doing?
Well, I can tell you on our end, it's a bit dizzying. But also a lot of fun.
We're still putting out a daily newspaper, of course. It's always been gratifying to pass a box and see someone pulling out a paper, or to sit in a restaurant and watch a reader flip the pages. It's confirmation that what you've done didn't just jettison into nowhere.
But now there are even more ways to engage with readers, and many are immediate.
We're trying to make our Facebook page as active as possible. We try to post stories that we think readers will respond to, and we try to respond when you comment. (We're on Google Plus, too, although it seems not many of you are yet.)
We're also on Twitter. If you haven't already, check out www.twitter.com/charleywest. We post our headlines and links and also try to post breaking news there as quickly as possible. When people ask us questions or make comments there, we try to respond when appropriate – although we're not perfect at it.
Many of our reporters are on Twitter as well. We recently encouraged those who tweet to put their Twitter names at the end of their stories along with their phone numbers and email addresses. It's another way to reach them if you have an idea or a comment.
You might see additional thoughts about the stories they're working on. You also might see their comments about other offbeat stuff like sports teams they follow, their pets or a movie they've just seen. It's a reminder that reporters are people.
I'm on Twitter, too, although I'm still getting used to it. I read what other people are saying, and I comment too, sometimes about nonsense. If you follow me at www.twitter.com/bradmcelhinny, you might notice I am sporting a fake beard in protest of the possible cancellation of the TV sitcom "Community." (#sixseasonsandamovie)
Even our editor, Nanya Friend, is trying to find her way through Twitter. She's a good writer and a good communicator — but face-to-face is more her style. Give her some encouragement at www.twitter.com/nanyafriend.
In some instances, members of the community are contributing to what we're doing. A couple of our blogs, The Mommyhood and Cap West's Pet City, include regular West Virginians with something to say.
Sometimes they do some good, too. This week, Charleston resident Brad White used the pet blog to find a home for an abandoned boxer who was about to be put down. The day it happened was Brad's birthday. What a great gift.
The blogs are fun to read, but sometimes the back-and-forth in the comments section is even better. Last week, some of the mommy bloggers and I did a live chat on the website. It was kind of an experiment but it worked out pretty well.
A couple of readers offered up their own comments, and other readers just seemed to quietly observe. It was fun, and I think we might do it again sometime. Please come join us.
West Virginia University and Marshall University fans probably already know that our beat writers Mike Casazza and Chuck McGill have regular live chats on their blogs. They seem to have loyal followings, and it's a great way for them to interact with inquisitive fans.
So, how are we doing? There are a lot of ways to tell us.
If you'd like to tell me, you can tweet me at twitter.com/bradmcelhinny or send me an email at email@example.com. Oh, by the way, I'm the managing editor at the Daily Mail.

Sophomore receiver Gabe Chambers set the winning drive in motion with a big kickoff return to midfield.
Quarterback Marques Ivory completed three straight passes, including a sideline pass to former high school teammate Kevyn Cooper to get it going. Damarcus James, carrying the biggest load in the running game following the suspension of senior Washaun Ealey, then broke off a 13-yard run to set up the field goal.
The Gamecocks were able to call time out just before the clock expired.
Griffin also hit a 33-yard field goal to open the scoring.
UTC (0-2) tied the game on a 16-yard Jacob Huesman pass to Ron Moore with 39 seconds left. Keon Wiliiams scored the two-point conversion to tie the game.

The 2nd generation Dobly Surround Sound cinema-grade 4-speaker design of the X600 will wow you whether you are watching movies, TV or listening to music. That's not all the X600 has to offer in terms of multimedia performance. The HDMI interface not only offers a video bandwidth of 5GB at a resolution of 1080p but also delivers the most realistic video quality without the old cable clutter. The new external E-SATA port with transfer rates of up to 3GB/s is also supported for even better performance and hot swap support. With this feature, you can store your precious photos, videos and other entertainment data on external storage devices with ease. Even More Wireless Mobility The optional WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) module greatly boosts the wireless broadband connectivity of the X600 to make Internet access even more accessible, speedy and mobile.

Even Bluetooth support is offered so you don't need cables to connect your mobile phone, headphones or PDA. Say goodbye to cable clutter once and for all! Ultra-Long Battery Endurance The X600 uses the latest Lithium-Polymer battery combined with Intel's new CULV platform to deliver extreme battery endurance. When a standard 6-cell battery is used, an endurance of 4.5 hours can be achieved. High capacity 9-cell battery packs are also available to extend the endurance of your X600 even further. The X600 also comes with MSI's proprietary ECO Engine power management mode so you can choose the usage scenario you need. Five scenario modes are available. You can select between Text, Gaming, Cinema, Briefing and Turbo Battery mode for different combinations of screen brightness, screen power, auto hibernation and automatic CPU stepping options to achieve the optimal balance between performance and battery life. The improved mobility and productivity offered by the X600 will bring you an unrivalled level of convenience in your life! *Actual battery endurance may vary depending on usage and settings.

I'm not saying that it's better or worse than the similar offering from the competition. I just say it was labeled high end, when there is 4800 mobile series.
i was coming to say the same thing... unless its a direct clone of the desktop card (which is rare, its always downclocked or less shaders) its not that special. Sure it may be #1 in the netbook market - but calling it "high end" is a blatant lie.
Well, now -- ATI's mobile variants are usually much closer to their desktop counterparts than Nvidia's. It's not even close -- ATI doesn't even cut the shaders, anymore. And "high-end" is very relative with laptops. :shadedshu
ATI have 48x0 cards in laptops... no way is this high end compared to those. (i agree on ATI cutting far less than Nv, but they often at least lower clocks and ram speed)
Thats because, the keyboard is ANOTHER SCREEN! Only with Multitouch. And it can be used to SLICE AND TOAST BREAD! (Or am I thinking of the Macbook Air on that last part?) Other than the apparent lack of keyboard and the underpowered graphics, it looks like a pretty good laptop for high mobility!
if a 512MB mid range card gaming at 1080P makes you soil yourself, how many pairs of pants do you need to game on your desktop? *insert joke about no keyboard here*
for this market it is highend the next closest thing is the macbook air which has the 9400GTm review/benchmarks on 9400m http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-9400M-G.11949.0.html review/benchmark on HD4330 http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-4330.13973.0.html
The 9400M is significantly faster, and even that is slow. Perhaps you were thinking of a 4830 or something.
[citation needed] Even the benchmarks that cdawall posted right above you show the 4330 as being faster. Where did you get your results from?
