Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
New Hampshire, where I practice, is one of the states where it's not legal for RNs to administer propofol sedation for surgical and diagnostic procedures ("Shades of Sedation: Learning about Moderate Sedation and Analgesia," April 2006). I sat on the New Hampshire Board of Nursing when this issue was discussed. We carefully reviewed many sources and decided that nurse-administered propofol sedation is outside the usual scope of RN practice.
In my opinion, propofol should be administered for procedural sedation only by professionals with advanced training in the administration of general anesthesia and airway management. Propofol is very potent; even in skilled hands, patients can go from mildly sedated to obtunded in the blink of an eye.
Nurse-administered propofol sedation raises various concerns for nurses who practice in states that allow the practice. For example, does the nurse's insurance carrier cover him when he administers anesthetics? Are economics and productivity pressures given more weight than patient safety? Does the patient know that nonanesthesia personnel are administering an anesthetic to him?
I can envision various remedies for these problems, including changes in drug regimen licensure, education, and more. However, while creative solutions are being explored, we must first keep our patients safe. Anesthesia became a specialty for very good reasons. To ignore those historic lessons is to put our patients and professional reputations at risk.

The staff was friendly.
The room was hot and took forever to cool down. The vending machine was broken and they stopped serving breakfast at 9. They did not give enough towels and they had a tube TV?? Would not stay again.
Nice size room and comfortable bed.
Room smelled like cigarette smoke - and they wouldn't change our room

Surprise surprise!
I have a surprise tomorrow but it will only happen if the weather is good… and by good means gray, cloudy, windy and rainy. I need it for "effect".
It was cloudy today though I don't think it rained where I live (I spent the entire day sleeping). Weatherwise, it's been a fantastic week and I'm not really looking forward to 35 degree celsius afternoons, thanks very much.
Thea Aquino is that chu?
You know, I really should be jumping for joy because it's finally raining in the third world. Calling Jackett-a Wheeler! It's that time of the year when all the brownie flips take their hideous nylon windbreakers out for a spin (just kidding). It was fun at first but for the life of god, it's been raining non-stop for the past three days! Farmers need this rain because the third world is suffering from a drought but I need the sun and the blue sky so I can take pictures. I only look good in natural light. I know I hate the sun and the heat but this is WAYY too much. I need to take pictures of me god dammit and the rain is making me immobile!
I don't know about you but when it rains, all I want to do is to stay indoors, snuggle up with my anorexic cat in bed, watch DVDs and feast on home-made chicken noodle soup.
That's exactly what I've been doing for the past three days. I need to snap out of it. Really. I already gained 5 pounds from all that pasta.
Funky Friday
I've been soo exhausted and haggard as of late it's not funny anymore. I've put some of my hobbies on hold because I have so much crap on my plate! I just wish everything would go away but no, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Free time is truly the most precious commodity on earth so when I had the opportunity to go out yesterday, bam, wham bam, I met up with Mich for some good ol' quality faggotry.

Has the internet made the world smaller?
Has the wonderful world wide web made people more connected to one another? I don't know about you but I'm still trying to make sense of it all. I was just browsing the Bergdorf Goodman website for gift ideas because my mum is turning 49 in a couple of weeks and I need to get her a present. I confess, I didn't find anything for her because I spent more time looking for a little present for myself but let's not go there.
**I'm starting to miss my old, super short hair. =(**

Me: ok. be honest now.
Me: am I prettier compared to 80% of the human population?
Stef: no
Me: prettier than 90%?
Me: i can't say i'm prettier than 99% of the population cause I'm not perfect
Stef: you are skinnier than 98% of adults in the western world most likely
Stef: I'd say more like 60-70%, you're average
Me: bitch! I AM NOT AVERAGE!
Me: lol
Stef: and that you're young counts in your favour
Me: i'm not average
Me: eeeew i'm insulted
Me: i would rather be called fug than be called average. nothing is more insulting than average
Me: so FUCK YOU
Me: lol
Stef: well, you're prettier than Tony Montana
Me: who the hell is tony montana
Stef: though he is in the lowest 30% of the population of the world, even a bit lower when only looking at his age group
Stef: look at this photo –>
Me: oh
Me: eeeew.
Me: i'm like WAYYYY prettier than that.
Stef: yes you are
Me: so what about you then?
Me: you're prettier than what % of the population
Stef: if only counting males in my age group (16-30), I'd say I'm above 75% because I work out.
Me: deflate that ego
Stef: face only then maybe i'm 50-60%
Stef: awww, are you mad because I said you weren't pretty?
Mauricio: can you draw what we would look like if we weighed like suzy menkes?
Me: no. i love suzy menkes
Mauricio: please? for a my birthday? it's tomorrow and i want a portrait of myself as suzy menkes
Me: NOOO!
Mauricio: not even if i transferred money into your account?
Me: NOW WE'RE TALKING!
Mauricio: PENNY WHORE!
Me: i would rather paint a portrait of polly mellen on a sybian.

Fashion Freak Friday + Cake
Let it be known that it's official. I'm turning into one of those hardcore fashion-obsessed junkies. No, I'm not talking about those super trendy kids who go gaga on all things NOW but instead, I'm currently obsessed with fashion history and the evolution of fashion over the years. I even went to my dad's mini mini library, something that I'm sorta, kinda but not really, forbidden to do (the last time I did it was gawd, ages ago) and found three very, very interesting books.
I saw this HILARIOUS sign on my way to my aunt's house the other day. With all the cake I've been eating the past week, I just HAD to tell the driver to stop because the sign represents what I feel inside. I love it!

"everything is mostly vast amounts of space between itself my love……"
Gallo, you told me that… and everything came clear… so clear… and even more complex now…. and then, "fluid dynamics", you said… among all the significant words on that message, those two words brought my childhood back and my obsession for the infinite micro/macro… and you brought light into it.
You are the greatest inspiration for my creations, but this one, derived from that dream, is more than inspiration, it is a deep communion and I dedicate it to you, my soul mate.
i am so honored to have been featured in the EMI Magazine! Mark, that was a rabbit punch! thank you and to the EMI great crew!!!
i am thrilled to have this piece featured in Abstract Realism. this one is deeply special to me.
thank you!
deep communion indeed………we are witnessing magic here, eARTh soul in the works…….brilliant, i would love to walk into a room and see this stretched out 52 inch by 36………
im sure this will find a room in every heART that sees it my andrea.
Redgirl, this is such a stunning trubute to crow. But more beyond the homage, it's a glimpse into your soul and a sense of freedom and serenity radiates from within. Of course, I'm responding to the contrast from your previous works "Trapped" and "Hidden…", there seems to be a lightness in this passage. Like an open window where a welcoming breeze brings a dream of change. Brava!
This is a masterpiece DreaM. I am almost speechless and at a loss for words. It is as if I am seeing some wonderous transformation…life…spirit move before my eyes. It resonates on such a deep frequency as if you have captured the very essence of the passage of life. With all the seasons and changes creating a new perspective on life and beauty in perpetual motion. Absolutely stunning work. I love your work it is so spiritual…so divine.
so, so long ago, but i have to reply on this. i posted many images in a period when i had no internet available for the neighborhood i moved to and i would have quick periods of internet in a cyber cafe, so it was not easy to keep up with the comments.
you have an extraordinary sensitiveness and a very delicate way to read my art.
thank you very, very much Anthea my dear.

Three UK signs Huawei to manage its network
Summary: Huawei will take care of the operator's core and transport networks, while systems integrator Tech Mahindra will handle its ICT applications.
The Chinese telecoms kit firm Huawei has signed a managed services agreement with the UK operator Three.
The deal, announced on Monday, will see Huawei manage Three's core network and transport network. Three's ICT applications also fall into the deal, although Huawei is subcontracting that part to systems integrator Tech Mahindra.
"The decision to select Huawei to manage core network operations follows a rigorous procurement process," Three UK chief Dave Dyson said in a statement. "We chose the partner that best met our requirements and which matched our long-term vision of how our network should be managed."
Under the terms of agreement, "a number of permanent roles" will move over from Three to Huawei and Tech Mahindra. Dyson said this meant "existing team experience" would continue to support the operator's core network management.

Hurricane Cosme forms off Mexico's Pacific coast
MIAMI (AP) -- Hurricane Cosme has formed in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico.
The hurricane's maximum sustained winds Tuesday morning are near 75 mph (120 kph) with some additional strengthening possible during the day. The hurricane is expected to weaken Wednesday and Thursday.
Cosme is centered about 365 miles (585 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is moving northwest near 18 mph (30 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says the storm will generate large swells that will affect parts of Mexico's Pacific coast Tuesday and parts of southern Baja California starting Tuesday night and into Thursday. The swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions.

Thw Wii version has Wii remote racing, tricking, and pre-loading, and both have some slightly different events, so if you don't have a next-gen console you're still getting some solid racing. [Jan 2008, p.89]
Untamed is one of the best offroad racing games on the Wii and is well worth playing, or at least trying if you haven't experienced this genre before.
Trying to shoehorn a 360/PS3 game onto the Wii is like getting a Super Model to woof down a 10-pound ham. What comes out the other side just isn't pretty. Still tastes okay though! [Dec 2007, p.66]
The physics system is going to be a bit too floaty for some, but those looking for a less sim-like experience will find it entertaining enough. It's a first-gen game for Wii though, so expect things to get much, much better in the future.
Motocross fans may dig what Untamed's shoveling, but the casual racer will want to hold out for a certain kart game on the horizon. [Jan 2008, p.90]
As a motorcross game MX vs. ATV Untamed would have been nice to play. But the quality of the game has really been lowered by adding vehicles like buggies and monstertrucks. These could better have been removed from the game. When it comes to graphics this game can't cope with its competitors. It's a disappointing feeling to have a game in your possession which feels like an oldy.

2) No matter which control method I use, I can't seem to find one that allows me to make a more controlled turn. I find myself shooting off to the left or right of the track a LOT coming out of turns because the controller input.… Expand

3. The method of claim 2 where the water-soluble polymer is an acrylic acid containing polymer.
4. The method of claim 1 where the water-soluble polymer is an acrylic acid containing polymer.
5. The method of claim 1 where the waste oil emulsion is a petroleum refinery waste water.
6. The method of claim 1 where the waste oil emulsion is a automotive oily effluent water.
A variety of industries utilize raw water for steam generation, cooling and process water which has to be purified of colloidal matter such as clays, organics, etc. In turn, these industries generate vast quantities wastewater containing high concentrations of organics, oil emulsions, clay particulates, BOD and COD which has to be purified before it is returned to nature. Both the raw water and wastewater particulates are stabilized by a number of factors ranging from natural electrokinetic forces, solubilization, to high concentration of chemicals such as surfactants.
In recent years, the use of low molecular weight water-soluble polyelectrolytes has become quite popular in treating these waters. Conventional practices include chemistries such as polyethyleneamine, epichlorohydrin/dimethylamine and diallyldimethylammonium chloride. While diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) polymers have proven effective and are claimed to be an industry standard, they are costly and must be used at high dosages. Furthermore owing to their high frequency of cationic charge distribution, their dosage window is rather narrow, resulting in poor runnability.
The idea for the synthesis of low molecular weight copolymers of DADMAC was generated due to the unique structural feature of polyDADMAC. It is known that the DADMAC monomer can be polymerized with the five-membered ring structure in the backbone with cationic pendant groups. These rings on the polymeric backbone impart ridity on the macromolecule, and the cationic pendant groups impart water solubility.
According to the application needs, if the rigid structure of polyDADMAC could be further modified to incorporate degrees of flexibility by copolymerization with suitable comonomers, an advance in the art would be offered.
A method of removing impurities from water which comprises treating these impurity-containing waters with a few parts per million of a water-soluble polymer containing a major portion of Diallyldimethyl Ammonium Chloride and either,
A. from 5 to 25 mole percent of either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or,
B. from 5 to 25 mole percent of either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and from 1-10 percent of a hydroxy C2 -C6 alkyl acrylate or a lower hydroxy alkyl methacrylate:
which polymer is characterized as having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.5.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hydroxy propyl acrylates or methacrylates when incorporated into the terpolymers, give the best results when these polymers are used to clarify waste waters.
Copolymerization of DADMAC with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid imparts unique structural features to the polyDADMAC macromolecule resulting in improved activity. Acrylic acid and methacrylic acid at low pH (2.5) behave as a non-ionic moiety in the copolymer. According to the pH of the substrate (generally 5 and above), the acid residues become deprotonated and the DADMAC/acrylic acid may undergo intramolecular and intermolecular coacervation resulting in a more rigid structure.
The DADMAC polymers are prepared using either conventional solution polymerization techniques or they may be prepared using the so-called reverse or water-in-oil emulsion technique which will be discussed more fully hereafter.
As indicated above, whether the solution or inverse emulsion technique is used, it is important that the polymerization be conducted at a pH below 5 and preferably at a pH less than 2.5. The polymerization uses a preferred embodiment free radical catalysts.
In either polymerization system, it is important that it be conducted under conditions designed to produce finished polymers having intrinsic viscosities of greater than 0.5. Polymers having this minimum intrinsic viscosity are superior when these polymers are used to treat a variety of waters which are contaminated with impurities.
To illustrate the conditions under which solution polymerization would be conducted in preparing DADMAC polymers of the invention, the following is presented:

The water-in-oil emulsions of the DADMAC polymers useful in this invention contain four basic components. These components and their weight percentages in the emulsions are listed below:
A. The DADMAC polymers:
1. Generally from 5-80%
2. Preferably from 40-70%; and
3. Most preferably from 45-65%;
B. Water:
1. Generally from 20-90%;
2. Preferably from 20-70%; and
3. Most preferably from 30-55%;
C. Hydrophobic liquid:
1. Generally from 5-75%;
2. Preferably from 5-40%; and
3. Most preferably from 20-30%: and,
D. Water-in-oil emulsifying agent:
1. Generally from 0.1-21%:
2. Preferably from 1-15%;
3. Most preferably from 1.2-10%.
It is also possible to further characterize the water-in-oil emulsions of the DADMAC polymers with respect to the aqueous phase of the emulsions. The aqueous phase is generally defined as the sum of the polymer present in the emulsion plus the amount of water present in the emulsion. This terminology may also be utilized in describing the water-in-oil emulsions which are useful in this invention. Utilizing this terminology, the aqueous phase of the water-in-oil emulsions of this invention generally consists of 25-95% by weight of the emulsion. Preferably, the aqueous phase is between 60-90% and most preferably from 65-85% by weight of the emulsion.
The emulsions also may be characterized in relation to the water/oil ratios. This figure is simply a ratio of the amount of water present in the emulsion divided by the amount of hydrophobic liquid present in the emulsion. Generally, the water-in-oil emulsions of this invention will have a water/oil ratio of from 0.25 to 18. Preferably, the water-in-oil ratio will range from 0.5-14, and most preferably from 1.0-2.75.
The hydrophobic liquids or oils used in preparing these emulsions may be selected from a large group of organic liquids which include liquid hydrocarbons and substituted liquid hydrocarbons.
A preferred group of organic liquids that can be utilized in the practice of this invention are paraffinic hydrocarbon oils. Examples of these types of materials include a branch-chain iso-paraffinic solvent sold by Humble Oil and Refinery Company under the tradename "Isopar M" described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,019 and a paraffinic solvent sold by the Exxon Company, U.S.A. called "Low Odor Paraffinic Solvent". Typical specifications of this material are set forth below in Table II.

While paraffinic oils are the preferred materials for use in preparing the water-in-oil emulsions of this invention, other organic liquids can be utilized. Thus, mineral oils, kerosenes, naphthas, and in certain instances petroleum may be used. While useful in this invention, solvents such as benezene, xylene, toluene, and other water immiscible hydrocarbons having low flash points or toxic properties are generally avoided due to problems associated with their handling.
Any conventional water-in-oil emulsifying agent can be used such as sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan monooleate, and the so-called low HLB materials which are all documented in the literature and are summarized in the Atlas HLB Surfactants Selector. Although the mentioned emulsifiers are used in producing good water-in-oil emulsions, other surfactants may be used as long as they are capable of producing these emulsions. It is also contemplated, however, that other water-in-oil emulsifying agents can be utilized.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,492 shows the use of emulsifiers generally having higher HLB values to produce stable emulsions similar in character to those discussed above. With the use of the equations present in this reference, which is hereinafter incorporated by reference, emulsifiers having HLB values between 4-9 can be utilized in the practice of this invention.
In addition to the reference described above, U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,097 discloses particular emulsifying agents for the water-in-oil emulsions, which are the subject of this invention. These emulsions are generally prepared according to this reference utilizing a water-in-oil emulsifying agent comprising a partially esterified lower N,N-dialkanol substituted fatty amide. Additionally, other surfactants may be combined to produce emulsions having small particle sizes and excellent storage stability.
The general method for the preparation of emulsions of the type described is contained in Vanderhoff, U.S. Pat. No. 3,284,393, which is hereinafter incorporated by reference. A typical procedure for preparing water-in-oil emulsions of this type includes preparing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble vinyl addition monomer and adding this solution to one of the hydrocarbon oils described above. With the addition of a suitable water-in-oil emulsifying agent and under agitation, the emulsion is then subjected to free radical polymerization conditions and a water-in-oil emulsion of the water-soluble vinyl addition polymer is obtained. It should be pointed out that the ingredients are chosen based upon the weight percentages given above and their compatibility with each other. As to choice of free radical catalyst, these materials may be either oil or water-soluble and may be from the group consisting of organic peroxides, Vazo1 type materials, redox type initiator systems, etc. Additionally, ultraviolet light, microwaves, etc. will also cause the polymerization of water-in-oil emulsions of this type.
In the manufacture of emulsions of this type, which are further detailed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,019, U.S. Pat. No. Re. 28,474, U.S. Pat. No. 3,734,873, U.S. Pat. No. Re. 28,576, U.S. Pat. No. 3,826,771, all of which are hereinafter incorporated by reference, the use of air may be employed to control polymerization. This technique is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,767,629 which is also hereinafter incorporated by reference.
In addition to the above references, U.S. Pat. No. 3,996,180 describes the preparation of water-in-oil emulsions of the types utilized in this invention by first forming an emulsion containing small particle size droplets between the oil, water, monomer and water-in-oil emulsifying agent utilizing a high shear mixing technique followed by subjecting this emulsion to free radical polymerization conditions. Also of interest is U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,097 which describes water-in-oil emulsions such as those described above utilizing particular surfactant systems for the water-in-oil emulsifying agent, allowing for the preparation of latexes having small polymer particle sizes and improved storage stability.
Another reference, U.S. Pat. No. 3,915,920, discloses stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions of the type above described utilizng various oil-soluble polymers such as polyisobutylene. Employment of techniques of this type provides for superior stabilized emulsions.
Of still further interest is U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,492 which describes the formation of water-in-oil emulsions of the type above described utilizng emulsifiers having HLB values of between 4-9.
Of pertinence is U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,930 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,920,599 which specifically deal with water-in-oil polymerization methods for DADMAC polymers.
The water-in-oil emulsions of the DADMAC polymers useful in this invention contain relatively large amounts of polymer. The polymers dispersed in the emulsion are quite stable when the particle size of the polymer is from the range of 0.1 microns up to abouat 5 microns. The preferred particle size is generally within the range of 0.2 microns to about 3 microns. A most preferred particle size is generally within the range of 0.2 to 2.0 microns.
The emulsions prepared having the above composition generally have a viscosity in the range of from 50 to 1,000 cps. It will be seen, however, that the viscosity of these emulsions can be affected greatly by increasing or decreasing the polymer content, oil content, or water content as well as the choice of a suitable water-in-oil emulsifier.
Another factor attributing to the vicosity of these types of emulsions in the particle size of the polymer which is dispersed in the discontinuous aqueous phase. Generally, the smaller the particle obtained the less viscous the emulsion. At any rate, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art as to how the viscosity of these types of materials can be altered. It will be seen that all that is important in this invention is the fact that the emulsion be somehwat fluid, i.e. pumpable.
The water-in-oil emulsions of the DADMAC polymers discussed above have unique ability to rapidly invert when added to aqueous solution in the presence of an inverting agent or physical stress. Upon inversion, the emulsion releases the polymer into water in a very short period of time when compared to the length of time required to dissolve a solid form of the polymer. This inversion technique is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,019 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,930, hereinafter incorporated by reference. As stated in the Anderson reference, the polymer-containing emulsions may be inverted by any number of means. The most convenient means resides in the use of a surfactant added to either the polymer-containing emulsion or the water into which it is to be placed. The placement of a surfactant into the water causes the emulsion to rapidly invert and release the polymer in the form of an aqueous solution. When this technique is used to invert the polymer-containing emulsion the amount of surfactant present in the water may vary over a range of 0.01 to 50% based on the polymer. Good inversion often occurs within the range of 1.0- 10% based on polymer.
The preferred surfactants utilized to cause the inversion of the water-in-oil emulsion of this invention when the emulsion is added to water are hydrophillic and are further characterized as being water soluble. Any hydrophillic type surfactant such as ethoxylated nonyl phenols, ethoxylated nonyl phenol formaldehyde resins, dioctyl esters of sodium succinate and octyl phenol polyethoxy ethanols, etc. can be used. Preferred surfactants are generally nonyl phenols which have been ethoxylated with between 8-15 moles of ethylene oxide. A more complete list of surfactants used to invert the emulsion are found in Anderson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,019 at columns 4 and 5.
Using the above procedure, a variety of emulsion polymers of DADMAC containing 10 mol percent of acrylic acid are set forth below in Table III.

The polymers of the invention are particularly useful in removing suspended solids from water or removing liquid impurities which are emulsified in water by the expediency of breaking these emulsions. As will be shown hereafter, these polymers are particularly effective in removing impurities from waters, which waters are exemplified by refinery waste waters; automotive oily effluent waters; raw waters such as those waters taken from rivers, ponds and streams; industrial process waters such as coal wash waters; sewage paper mill effluent waters; and the like.
It is important to note that the polymers of the invention are far superior to known DADMAC homo- and copolymers. For example, DADMADC polymers were initially described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,288,770. They are indicated as being useful for a variety of purposes such as textile treatment agents, rubber curring agents, and the like. Their preparation in the water-in-oil emulsion form is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,920,599 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,930. The later patent describes many uses of DADMAC acrylamide copolymers and poly-DADMAC polymers for such purposes as drainage aids, retention aids, saveall flotation aids, and process water flocculants. Of interest is the fact that this patent does not specifically disclose in its working examples ampholytic polymers used in the practice of this invention.
To illustrate the ability of the DADMAC polymers of this invention to remove impurities from water, they were tested on a variety of impure aqueous systems. These results are presented below in the Examples:
DADMAC/AA copolymers (I.V. 0.57) (AA=acrylic acid, MAA=methacrylic acid, HPA=hydroxypropylacrylate), showed superior performance in comparison with DADMAC homopolymer (I.V. 0.8-1.0), EDC/NH3, Epi/DMA and other conventional polyelectrolytes in the separation of oil from automotive and refinery oily wastes (Table V, VI, and VIII). The runnability (dosage range) was also enhanced by 100%.
It has been observed that high I.V. DADMAC/AA, MAA (0.6-0.8) performs superior to conventional chemistries in wastewater color removal and raw and paper mill effluent application (Table IV and VII).

By seed, BYU basketball is perfectly average in NCAA Tournament
- Updated: March 24, 2014
Greg Welch examines how BYU usually doesn't upset the status quo in the NCAA Tournament.
In an everyone-gets-a-trophy era, it's tough to be average. For fans who always want the best, it can be tough to acknowledge a team's shortcomings. Dave Rose and his BYU basketball program do a lot of things exceptionally well. At the highest level of national competition, however, BYU has an average to below-average record, and it's had it long before Dave Rose was the head coach. Only 11% of college basketball teams even make it to the NCAA Tournament, so there are certainly worse fates than getting there and being average.
Since expanding the NCAA tournament to 64 teams in 1985, BYU has now made 17 appearances in 30 seasons. In those 17 tournaments, BYU has only upset a higher seeded team once, when a Shawn Bradley-led team beat 7-seed Virginia.
(Congrats, by the way, to the BYU women's basketball team, on the upset of 5-seed North Carolina State on Saturday. The Cougars play 4-seed Nebraska on Monday night).
Basically, when the BYU men's team gets to the tournament, it has performed as well as expected based on its seed. Despite the perception that 5-12 upsets happen "all the time," the historical reality is that outside of the 8/9 game, the NCAA tournament is not a 50/50 proposition. Seeds 5-7 have won between 60-66% of the time. Round of 64 games for seeds 1 through 4 are even more lopsided with the favorite winning between 78-100% of the time.
The positive side of performing as expected is that when BYU has had a lower seed, it has won the games it should have. Even if it took a late three-point shot by Jackson Emery, BYU beat Florida as a 7-seed in 2010. Despite not having Brandon Davies, a 3-seed BYU won two games (over a 14-seed and an 11-seed) and lost the third (to a 2-seed) in overtime in 2011.
New Mexico has gone to the NCAA Tournament in the last two years as a 7-seed and a 3-seed. The Lobos' seeding predicts three wins over two years, but instead the Lobos have gone 0-2.
Duke's most recent upset loss as a 3-seed to Mercer, combined with its 2012 loss as a 2-seed to Lehigh, makes a team which performs as expected in the tournament look pretty good, although Duke certainly has plenty of other great performances to make up for it.
Taken individually, BYU's losses are understandable. The Cougars are generally playing the underdog role in the NCAA Tournament. Taken together, the near-miss games against UConn in 2003, Syracuse in 2004 and Xavier in 2007 are more frustrating. Individually, 8/9 games are a toss-up and no team is usually heavily favored. With an 0-4 record in 8/9 games since 1985 however, one hopes that the law of averages will start to kick in soon for the Cougars.
A fairly-popular notion exists that March Madness devalues college basketball's regular season. BYU's past performances have shown that the Cougars have never really been the kind of team that pulls upsets — so perhaps this makes the regular season paramount for the Cougars.
BYU looks to return a senior-laden team next year and has great recruiting classes coming. If those teams are going to be successful in the NCAA Tournament, winning in November and December may be the key to winning in March.

1997 Ford Taurus Sedan G 4dr Sedan
Bought new now have 112,000 miles. Has been excellent mechanically. Got 80,000 miles out of front brakes. Have changed oil 32 times, serviced trans 4 times, changed fuel filter 3 times, tuned it twice, replaced battery twice and I'm only on my third set of tires. Only major work 2 oxygen sensors. It's a great workhorse of a car. Not great fit and finish but it runs great. Goes like a bat out of h-e-double hockey sticks, excuse the language.

1997 Ford Taurus Sedan G 4dr Sedan
I purchased this car in April, 2001 with 28,186 miles. It now has 118,000+ miles in July of 2010. It's been mostly flawless. There have been a few repairs here and there, such as a brake line, ball joints, shocks, rotors, pads, etc, but most of this has been few and far between (minus the brakes!) and overall ownership cost has been very low. The brakes seem to be the only reoccurring problem. Rotors seem to get warped easily and I'm an easy braker. Seems they get replaced annually. I hate to sell this thing because it's so reliable but technically worth almost nothing. I don't want to sell a car that has been so reliable and will only get me back a couple grand at best.

1997 Ford Taurus Sedan G 4dr Sedan
Purchased this Car from my mother who owned it since 2001. Before this though I drove the car on a somewhat regular basis, when I owned a 1995 Mitsubishi Galant. This is my second Taurus (the first was a 1992 GL 3.8 Essex). I like that this body style really opened the interior up. The rear has so much room for passengers and cargo and its a sedan! Im am tall and am most comfortable. The 3.0 vulcan doesnt produce as much torque as the 3.8 did, which is a downer considering how heavy this baby is, but it still has ample passing power and can merge into traffic on the freeway. Transmission can be fumbly at moderate speeds so I try to go easy on it. Design still looks good after 13 years.

1997 Ford Taurus Sedan G 4dr Sedan
This car was designed to be the most comfortable ride of 1997. As far as reliability goes, my car has sputtered before and had trouble accelerating, but only on occasion and only while cold, but all cars will do that after 100,000 miles. Amazing car, it's got all of the features a consumer needs and average gas mileage. I've repaired the car, but only at the mileage where it would be expected.

The Taurus has a great ride and is comfortable. We had many problems with the transmission beginning at 60,000 miles. It's ultimate demise came when the catalytic converter went bad on us at 70,000 miles. We drove the car until it finally stopped at 85,000 miles.

The Taurus is definitely made to be a throw away car. The car had a rebuilt transmission when I bought it and I had to replace the tranny again at 102,000 miles. Now at 140,000, it is slipping again. The oil pan is now leaking as well and the a/c just went out, Had to replace speed sensor as well, cost $500 bucks. It rides rough, is loud, and uses brakes up very fast. I take great care of my cars and wonder how much trouble I would have had if I didn't. I am now giving up on Fords.

Excellent acceleration and handling -
good quiet ride. Mechanically the
worst car I ever owned - needed
transmission replaced at 39,000 miles -
under three years old, and since have
replaced transmission sensor three
times. Engine shot at 97,000 miles.
The car had overheated. Seems that
engine light is always on and many
small electrical problems.
At transmission repair shop, many
Ford's -Taurus and Windstar in for
repair - this transmission should have
been recalled. Also, per mechanic, the
Taurus has problems with Crankshaft and

However, when new Eagles coach Steve Addazio said he was bringing his read-option offense to Chestnut Hill, Boyle knew it would behoove him to explore other options.
Those options led the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Boyle to Connecticut, where he visited during the week and committed to Sunday.
"Honestly, it was the overall feeling," Boyle said. "I'm in state, the new offensive coordinator (T.J. Weist) is a great guy, and I think the offense is going to fit me much better than it did at BC. But the overall feeling at UConn just gave me a warm family feeling. I'm very happy with my choice."
Boyle is a pocket passer, and Boston College's offense is geared toward a quarterback who can also run well. UConn's pro-style offense will allow Boyle to showcase his arm strength and ability to stand in the pocket and throw the ball.
"It came down to where I'd be happy academically and football-wise," Boyle said. "UConn does have both of those. I have nothing but respect for BC. They've done a great job of recruiting me, and the new coaching staff did a great job. I told them I have a lot of respect for their program, but when it came down to my future and what was best for me, I think UConn was a better fit."
In fact, Boyle said Addazio told him it was ok to look around for a system that would be a better fit.
Boyle completed 129 of 212 passes (60.8 percent) for 2,096 yards, 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also rushed 46 times for 234 yards and four touchdowns.
"It was a shock to me because I knew BC had a lot of pro-style quarterbacks in the system," Boyle said. "When I found out they were going to change offenses, my immediate reaction was to learn a new offense and change my game a little bit."
However, after thinking the process over, Boyle elected to look other places. He spoke with coaches from Pittsburgh and Oregon, but ended up staying home.
"UConn is right in my back yard," he said. "It's only 45 minutes away, so I spent a lot of time there. Coach (Shane) Day, the quarterbacks coach up there, did a great job of recruiting me. The offense definitely fits me better at UConn."
