'As long as today lasts, keep encouraging one another." (Hebrews 3:13)
The playwright Dennis Potter, when he was dying, spoke movingly about the heightened awareness of living in the present. The author of Hebrews encourages us to live in the reality of each day, as a gift from God, to be lived fully and thankfully. 'The newness of everything is absolutely wondrous.'
Lord God, may we live each day as your precious gift, and so live in the light of Christ that we encourage others in their times of fear and doubt. Amen.

dc.description.abstract | The Design Laboratory (1935-1940), a New York industrial design school supported by American industrialists and the state, embodied a utopian desire to merge the aspirations of the Machine Age with the social policies of the Depression Era. With a faculty and advisory board including some of the most significant names in the arts, namely Gilbert Rohde, the school's director, and Meyer Schapiro, an influential Marxist art historian, the Design Laboratory sought to educate a semi-skilled labor force for careers in industrial design. Traditionally the Design Laboratory is thought of as being inspired by the Bauhaus and Walter Gropius' model of education. In a reassessment of the Design Laboratory's context, political leanings, pedagogy, and industrial art, the school indeed supported Marxism, abstraction, and rhetoric and is therefore compared to the art and design school founded in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution known as the Vkhutemas (1920-1930). Linking the Design Laboratory to the Soviet model more so than the Gropius one of utopian socialism reveals fundamental changes in American design and education during the late 1930's and successive generations. | en_US |

GPS tracking system for cars, helicopters and vehicles which does not use cellular network
The GPS/RF (radio frequency GPS tracking system) PROTECTOR RF allows tracking of vehicles, mobile assets and even people by using radio frequency links instead of ordinary GSM/cellular connections.
Entirely developed by SPECTRADOME to suit its military clients' specifications, this civilian-use version offers tactical radio frequency tracking with GPS precision and it was designed to allow hassle-free multiple target tracking within urban and non-urban environments.
Easily deployable in a matter of minutes, the PROTECTOR RF tracking system will help you locating your target vehicle/asset or personnel even if they should enter any building, tunnel or ground parking lot (GPS/RF-DF Doppler version only). Specifically designed for professional users, this cutting-edge tracking system is definitely the right product for those who need a reliable GPS tracking system that is NOT based on GSM/cellular technology to send out GPS tracking data.
Apart from being immune to low GSM/cellphone signal coverage/loss issues, our system presents the truly remarkable advantage to offer GPS tracking at ZERO airtime costs.
System already comes in a tactical configuration that is able to simultanteously track and display multiple targets on georeferentiated basemap (included and available for both EU and US).
Encrypted and military-grade versions of this system are also available, whereas the basic version consists of:
Each single control unit is also able to allow differential GPS tracking (i.e.: your own GPS position is displayed ALONG with the target/s position/s) and offers dual use so that it can be operated either as tracking or tracker unit depending on user's needs. When two or more main control units are used together, 2-way voice communication among units is also allowed.
System is suitable for an extremely wide variety of applications: vehicle, personnel, car, boat, plane, helicopter tracking are all feasible.
System is available in two different versions: basic GPS/RF (GPS/RF tracking only) and GPS/RF-DF (equipped with Doppler tracker).

The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Although vstore.com is easy to set up and use, there is absolutely no response to customers. There is no contact number or email address except to an automated response. You will not be able to find a person at VStore. They are very slow to pay commissions. In fact I had to write letters and make threats to get paid at all.
Recently I have had several orders delayed for weeks before processing. It will give your business a bad reputation if you use Vstore.com as your fulfillment center!!!

Ben and Debbie Lieberman, with their daughters Jamie, left, and Rachel at their Chappaqua home May 15. Their son, Evan, in framed photo, was killed in a car accident. / Peter Carr/The Journal News
Frightening facts
� In 2011, 45 percent of all students 16 and older reported they had texted or emailed while driving during the past 30 days, according to a study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and reported in June�s Pediatrics journal.
� Teens who texted while driving were five times more likely than those who didn�t to drive when they had been drinking alcohol.
� Teens who texted every day while driving during the past month were more than 40 percent more likely to not always wear their seat belts than were teens who engaged in texting while driving once or twice in the past 30 days.
� 31 percent of U.S. drivers ages 18-64 reported they had read or sent text messages or emails while driving at least once within the 30 days before they were surveyed.
Source: USA Today
An administrative law judge faulted driver Michael Fiddle, who was at the wheel in a 2011 fatal car crash, for using his cellphone while driving, but the judge did not cite that as a specific contributing factor to the crash itself.
CHAPPAQUA -- Evan Lieberman died at age 19 in July 2011, a month after he was a passenger in a head-on crash in which the driver, another 19-year-old from Chappaqua, told police he fell asleep at the wheel.
But each time Lieberman�s father, Ben, heard what driver Michael A. Fiddle told about falling asleep around 7:50 a.m. June 16, 2011, on Route 6 in Orange County, the more he thought there was more to the story.
State police never charged or cited Fiddle in the crash that took Lieberman�s life and injured two other Chappaqua college students as they drove to a summer job in Woodbury. But Ben Lieberman pressed the issue.
Through a civil suit filed against Fiddle, he obtained cellphone records. He then got a hearing before the state Department of Motor Vehicles. An administrative law judge in New Windsor ruled this year that Fiddle, now 21, violated several traffic laws, including using his cellphone while driving, but did not cite Fiddle's cellphone use as a specific contributing factor to the crash itself. The judge suspended Fiddle�s license for a year April 5.
Lieberman and his wife, Debbie, don�t want another parent to lose a child. They plan to press police and lawmakers to treat distracted driving with the same severity as drunken driving through an organization they formed called DORCs � Distracted Operators Risk Casualties.
�If we can save one life, it will be worth it,� Lieberman said.
�If we don�t speak up, how can you live with yourself?� his wife added.
Jacy Good of White Plains has become one of the nation�s most vocal opponents of distracted driving after a driver on a cellphone caused a 2008 crash that killed her parents and left her permanently injured.
Good, who spent May 21 at Mahopac High School talking to students about distracted driving, agrees with the Liebermans.
�It is critically important that distracted driving laws are as strictly enforced as drunk driving laws have become,� Good said in an email. �We know that the simple act of having a conversation on a cell phone delays our reaction time and causes a cognitive impairment resulting in inattention blindness that leaves a driver with the same or worse driving ability as a driver with an .08 percent� blood-alcohol content � the legal threshold for driving while intoxciated.
Cops: Hard to prove
Fiddle�s lawyer noted that investigations by police and prosecutors showed no cellphone use and that a grand jury declined to indict him. Criminal investigators did not seek phone records, and New York has no specific law against drowsy driving.
Despite laws cracking down on cellphone use and texting while driving, police say it�s hard to determine when it contributes to a crash.
�Without a witness, we usually have no way of telling,� Mount Pleasant Police Chief Louis Alagno said. �We would have to subpoena records, which can take time. Right now, it�s difficult to prove.�
Kent Police Chief Alex DiVernieri agreed.
�There could be crashes that are caused by distracted driving but aren�t classified that way because it�s difficult to prove,� DiVernieri said.
He said Kent police will subpoena phone records in serious or fatal crashes but in other accidents must rely on witnesses and people in the cars.
Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco said his deputies will seek phone records if they suspect phone use contributed to a crash.
�It�s not part of our protocol per se,� he said. �But if you�re in an accident, we could go back to check if we needed to see if you were talking or texting, depending on where the cellphone is in the car and other things.�
State Sen. David Carlucci and Orangetown police hosted a May 17 forum at Tappan Zee High School on the dangers of texting while driving titled �It Can Wait.� The students watched a documentary, �The Last Text,� which recounts stories from family members who have lost loved ones and teens who were involved in accidents as a result of texting while driving.
Westchester County police can use the digital evidence section in their forensics unit.
�Whenever computers or cellphones are associated with an investigation, they can inspect these devices and determine what�s on them and when they were in use,� spokesman Kieran O�Leary said. County police seek records only when they have proof of phone use, including from a witness, he said.
Jonathan Schaefer of Carmel admits to glancing down at his phone while driving, even though he�s heard the warnings.
�In this day and age, to be connected with people on all planes goes with breathing, eating and sleeping,� said Schaefer, 30.
DMV hearing
An administrative law judge faulted driver Michael Fiddle, who was at the wheel in a 2011 fatal car crash, for using his cellphone while driving, but the judge did not cite that as a specific contributing factor to the crash itself.
Fiddle did not testify. An attorney for Evan Lieberman�s estate, Sarah J. Eagen, introduced as evidence phone records and statements Fiddle made in civil suits stemming from the crash.
She also submitted a Facebook message he sent the day after the crash to Evan and two other passengers.
� i am soooooo sorry ... i was exhausted and you were all sleeping too ... I was bobbing my head and taking those 1 second naps before forcing myself to stay alert,� Fiddle wrote in the June 17, 2011, message.
His attorney, John Ingrassia, argued against allowing the phone records as evidence, noting that the police had filed no charges.
�Law enforcement concluded there was no evidence connecting the cause to texting or talking on the phone prior to the crash,� Ingrassia said this month.
He also said the Orange County district attorney found no evidence of phone use before the crash and that a grand jury declined to indict Fiddle, though he did not know whether jurors saw phone records.
Marinacci allowed the records and cited them in her ruling.
Eagen said they showed a �consistent usage of a cellphone device texting in and out for the period that Mr. Fiddle was operating the vehicle up until when the accident happened.�
Eagan said the browser on Fiddle�s phone, which can be used to access Facebook and other social media, was on from 7 a.m. right up to the crash.
Evan's Team
Evan Lieberman, the oldest of Ben and Debbie Lieberman�s three children, had just completed his freshman year at the University of Connecticut and was home for the summer when the crash occurred. He and others shared rides to Woodbury, with three passengers often sleeping.
Lieberman died July 18, 2011, at Westchester Medical Center after 32 days and numerous surgeries.
More than 1,000 mourners filled Temple Shaaray Tefila in Bedford Corners for his funeral July 20.
Ben Lieberman said his son�s death has dampened every joyful event in their lives.
�Happy days are difficult � his birthday, holidays. On Mother�s Day we stopped by the cemetery,� he said.
Lieberman said he pursued the DMV hearing because he had questions and thought Fiddle wasn�t telling the whole story. He admits to being angry with Fiddle, whom he once coached in youth basketball, but said he wants to channel it into something positive.
The family, including daughters Jamie and Rachel, formed Evan�s Team, a nonprofit that seeks to raise funds and awareness for community causes.
Its first project was remodeling the family area at Westchester Medical Center, where the Liebermans spent much of Evan�s last month.
The next fundraiser for Evan�s Team � a daylong event featuring golf, tennis and dodgeball competitions � is June 26 at Trump National Golf Club, 399 Pine Road, Briarcliff Manor.

The night is about to fall.
'Never surrender' - I still hear them call.
Images (are) passing by.
I must watch him waving a last goodbye.
It's not that he's gone away.
It's the secure feeling he will not stay.
A wanderer leaving the land
He once had entered to rise again.
Thousands cry
Until the blood runs low
They make the river flow
That he'll sail on.
Are we that alone?
The king is leaving
Off to a land unknown.
And though I'm wondering why,
The king has left
The spirit we now call our own.
He lit up our life!
1000 days passed by,
From the very moment he stepped into our lives.
Words were not his deal.
What he brought to us is the power to feel.
The power to believe.
The power to walk on, the power to see.
To determine wrong from right.
The power to check out the step from dark to light.
Sometimes I'm even more afraid
Of times beyond the gates of now.
Remembering his glory
Pounds my will onto the ground.
Can you hear us cry?
Can you see our kingdom die?
Now for me it's plain to see
That everything I want to be.
Can be done by holding on
In hard and gruelling times.

Dzidra Reimanis
" The keyboard is anextension of us. "
Ask how many piano students Dzidra Reimanis has taught over the past half-century, and she just laughs. She has no idea. Nor does she have any plans for the 50 or so she instructs now – at 81 years old – to be her last. "To teach is tremendous fun," Reimanis says. She can even sympathize when a student hasn't practiced: As a girl in her native Latvia, she, too, was lazy. "But in my heart, I loved it." Music helped sustain her during the four years she and her family spent in a displaced- persons camp after World War II. Now she longs to see legions of young people gain the same affection for "this magnifi- cent form of art." Many others share her vision. "We piano teachers – we're working like crazy to get there."

India's Piramal Enterprises has agreed to sell its 11% stake in Vodafone India to UK-based Vodafone Group for INR89 billion (USD1.48 billion), Reuters writes. Vodafone announced its intention to take full control of its Indian unit in October last year following changes to rules regarding foreign direct investment (FDI) in the telecoms sector, which lifted the maximum holding a foreign company could own in a telco from 74% to 100%. As previously noted by CommsUpdate, the UK group's plans to snap up the shares of Vodafone India's minority stakeholders were postponed in November 2013 after encountering delays in receiving permission for the transaction from the Foreign Investment Protection Board (FIPB) and the cabinet. Vodafone finally received the green light for the takeover in February this year.

On network television, some pundits are always ready for prime time. After the president's State of the Union speech, they were all over the airwaves — smooth and glib — mostly lauding Bill Clinton's boffo performance.
But many commentators are never eligible for prime time. Political analysts outside the conventional range of media wisdom are rarely on the TV networks.
The always-ready-for-prime-time pundits are good at sounding quite savvy. Their hats tip to the nation's top politicians, especially the ones who excel at winning. Coverage may focus on character flaws and malfeasance, but the underlying esteem for Washington's power brokers is usually luminous.
In the mass media, discussions of politics are so constricted that we don't expect wide-ranging debate. If it existed in fact as well as in pretense, some very different voices would have been included in the national media discourse after the State of the Union address.
The speech was masterful at "appropriating every patriotic symbol" and "pushing every emotional button," said former ABC News producer Danny Schechter, author of a book titled "The More You Watch, The Less You Know." He pointed out that "virtually every one of Clinton's `initiatives' deserves scrutiny — but a media obsessed with personality doesn't have time to really debate policy, to examine their implications and impacts."
I also asked for comment from Gary Webb, another reporter whose integrity has clashed with mainstream journalism. His revealing book "Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras and the Crack Cocaine Explosion" was published last year.
Webb observed that the State of the Union speech was "typical Clintonesque sleight-of-hand." The president "goes on forever about spending a billion here and there on some feel-good social or environmental program and then glosses over his most insidious proposals — boosting defense spending and giving the police new high-tech devices and expanded powers to snoop on American citizens — without providing even the tiniest detail."
Journalists from such establishment magazines as The Weekly Standard and The New Republic are often on national broadcasts. The spectrum that extends from the likes of Trent Lott to Bill Clinton is well-represented. But the editor of The Progressive, Matthew Rothschild, is elsewhere.
"Clinton wants to start down the slippery slope of investing some Social Security funds in the stock market," Rothschild said, "a move which could quickly tumble into massive privatization." That serves "not the public good but the private interests of Wall Street."
The president "says he wants to help people out with their long-term health care, but all that he proposes is a $1,000 tax break, which won't nearly cover the costs and which won't apply to anyone making less than $30,000 a year," Rothschild added. "He talks about the huge problem of our economy — the income gap — as being a function of a skills gap, and so he offers more money for job training." However, "the problem with our economy is not a skills gap but a finite supply of high-paying jobs."
On military issues, Rothschild said, Clinton "proposed increasing defense spending by an amount that comes to $112 billion over the next six years — back to Cold War levels, even though the Cold War is over, and the risks to our nation are greatly diminished. This is not government for the common good. This is government for the good of Boeing and Lockheed Martin."
Jason Vest, who reports from Washington for The Village Voice, called the presidential speech a "mash note to the Pentagon and its myriad contractors." The message was "revolting" — but "not surprising, given Clinton's pattern of co-opting Republican positions. It seems only fitting that he would move to claim the Star Wars mantle of the Reagan years."
Analysts critical of lucrative militarism were certainly available. But the media echo chamber has reverberated with Clinton's call to jack up the Pentagon budget.
"The poorly housed, poorly trained, poorly paid American soldier has kind of become the poster child for the so-called `readiness crisis,'" said Miriam Pemberton, a researcher at the Institute for Policy Studies. But the spending boosts for "modernization" will mainly enrich contractors selling weapons systems, such as new fighter aircraft projects with a staggering price tag — close to $500 billion.
When I spoke with her after the State of the Union oratory, Pemberton disputed the assumption that "we need three new attack- fighter aircraft programs when our current fighters are already the best in the world." With an attitude like that, she'll never be ready for prime time.

Question from kratos182
Why did my game freeze?
I was playing the first level and about halfway through, my game suddenly froze and i had to unplug the power cord from my wii. I just got the game yesterday so there shouldn't be any problems with it. Any help?

Top Voted Answer
All I can say is... You're not alone. I haven't had freezing problems myself, but a number of other people have. There's not a whole lot you can do about it, really. Just wait until they patch it, and try to describe exactly what happened in the glitch reporting thread on this board.

I froze trying to change my settings. Also I play GoldenEye Wii, so it freezes a bunch. Don't unplug your power cord. Just hold down teh power button for 5-10 seconds. It takes a bit but will finally turn off. Unpluging the cord harms the Wii.

text: Hypothesis We hypothesized that we could develop a safe and effective technique for performing a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure using the da Vinci surgical system. We anticipated that the learning curve for this totally robotic procedure could be shorter than the learning curve for standard laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Design Retrospective case comparison study. Setting Academic tertiary care center. Patients Consecutive samples of patients who met National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria for morbid obesity and who completed the Stanford Bariatric Surgery Program evaluation process. Intervention A port placement and robot positioning scheme was developed so that the entire case could be performed robotically. The first 10 patients who underwent a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were compared with a retrospective sample of 10 patients who had undergone laparoscopic Roux- en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Main Outcome Measures Patient age, gender, body mass index (BMI), numbers of NIH-defined comorbidities, operative time, length of stay, and complications. Results No significant differences existed between the 2 patient series with regard to age, gender, or BMI. The median surgical times were significantly lower for the robotic procedures (169 vs 208 minutes; P = .03), as was the ratio of procedure time to BMI (3.8 vs 5.0 minutes per BMI for the laparoscopic cases; P = .04). Conclusions This study details the first report, to our knowledge, of a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and demonstrates the feasibility, safety, and potential superiority of such a procedure. In addition, the learning curve may be significantly shorter with the robotic procedure. Further experience is needed to understand the long-term advantages and disadvantages of the totally robotic approach. INTRODUCTION Jump to Section • Top • Introduction • Methods • Results • Comment • Author information • References • Discussion Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States. Results of long-term weight loss with diet and exercise alone have been disappointing.1 In 1991, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognized obesity as a growing epidemic, identifying the vertical banded gastroplasty and gastric bypass procedures as acceptable procedures based on available outcome data.2 Since that time, the number of gastric bypasses performed in the United States has grown from 16 000 to 103 000 per year during the last 11 years.3 This increase in demand for bariatric surgery necessitates an increase in advanced laparoscopic surgical training. The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is arguably the most challenging minimally invasive procedure in general surgery. Because the procedure demands advanced laparoscopic skills, such as suturing, intracorporeal knot tying, stapling, 2-handed tissue manipulation, and the ability to operate in multiple quadrants of the abdomen, the learning curve is 75 to 100 cases even for experienced laparoscopic surgeons.4-5 Furthermore, limitations in conventional laparoscopic equipment, such as 2-dimensional visualization, counterintuitive instrument movement, limited range of motion of the instruments, and surgeon fatigue caused by abdominal wall torque, are impediments for surgeons who want to adopt the laparoscopic approach. In 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, Calif) for applications in general laparoscopic surgery. The robot is a telemanipulator instrument that allows the surgeon, from a remote console, to control up to 3 robotic arms and a binocular camera, rendering fine 3-dimensional imaging. The system uses instruments with a total of 7 df, including X, Y, and Z tip positioning, shaft rotation, wrist pitch (up- down), wrist yaw (left-right), and grip. Cardiere et al reported a series of robotic- assisted cases, concluding that use of the robot is "most beneficial for fine manipulations in a closed space."6(p1475) Since FDA approval, centers across the country have used the da Vinci surgical system for cases ranging from cholecystectomies to distal pancreatectomies.7-8 In reviewing the literature, most procedures that require operating in more than 1 abdominal quadrant have required either extensive robot repositioning or robot use for only a portion of the total procedure, adding significant time to the operation. The current experience with robotics and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is limited to performing a robotically sewn gastrojejunostomy, with the remainder of the case performed with traditional laparoscopy.8 The goal of our study was to develop a port placement and robot-positioning scheme so that the entire case could be performed robotically without significant robotic repositioning. Furthermore, we compared this totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with the standard laparoscopic approach performed at our institution. Our purpose was to assess the feasibility and safety of a robotic laparoscopic gastric bypass operation. METHODS Jump to Section • Top • Introduction • Methods • Results • Comment • Author information • References • Discussion A variant of the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as described by Higa et al9 was adapted for the da Vinci robot. Port placement and robot positioning were developed in the laboratory initially with torso models and later tested and refined on cadavers. In preparation for starting the surgical procedures at the Stanford School of Medicine, the entire surgical team received the standard FDA-mandated training on the da Vinci surgical system at Intuitive Surgical. After training, the team started performing totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses within our established bariatric surgery program. All patients admitted to this program must meet the NIH criteria for weight reduction surgery, undergo extensive nutritional and psychological counseling, and achieve preoperative weight loss. All patients in the preoperative clinic who were candidates for laparoscopic surgery were offered the option of having their surgery performed with either the da Vinci system or the standard laparoscopic technique. All patients who were offered the robotic option chose to have the da Vinci procedure. A side- by-side comparison was undertaken, comparing our first 10 totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures with the first 10 laparoscopic Roux-en-Y procedures performed by the same surgeon. Data were collected on patient age, gender, body mass index (BMI), numbers of NIH-defined comorbidities, operative time, length of stay, and complications to compare the 2 patient groups. The nonparametric Wilcoxon 2-sample rank test and Fisher exact test were used for continuous and discrete statistical comparisons, respectively. ROBOT SETUP Patient Positioning The positioning, preparation, and draping of the patient are similar to those of a conventional laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a few modifications. The principal change from our standard setup is that the operating table is rotated 15° to the patient's left so that the anesthesiologist is positioned off the patient's right shoulder. This allows the anesthesiologist access to the patient once the robot has been docked off the left shoulder. The table is set to 15° reverse Trendelenburg before start, the left arm is tucked to the side, and the right arm is extended for intravenous access (Figure 1). The robot is draped by a separate scrub nurse- circulator team while the patient is being draped. Figure 1. Operating room setup. View larger version (43K): [in this window] [in a new window] Port Placement and Procedure Start Six ports are used (Table 1 and Figure 2). The orientation of the left and right robot arms reflects the console surgeon's and assistant's left and right, not the patient's. All of the initial ports are 10/12-mm or 5-mm Ethicon Endopath (Ethicon Endosurgery, Cincinnati, Ohio) trocars with a long shaft (150-mm) cannula for the camera port. Because the Intuitive Surgical cannulas are 8 mm, they fit inside a 10/12-mm port. This double cannulation allows the robot arm to be removed from the port with the cannula still attached when the port is needed for a stapling tool. This also facilitates quick replacement of the robot arm. View this table: Table 1. Port Placement [in this window] [in a new window] Figure 2. Operative port placement. A, Port positions in a patient. B, Diagram of port placement. L indicates left; C, camera; A1, assistant 1; A2, assistant 2; R1, right 1; and R2, right 2. View larger version (122K): [in this window] [in a new window] The procedure is started by placing the camera port using an EndoPath Optiview nonbladed trocar (Ethicon Endosurgery) and a 0° conventional laparoscope. Pneumoperitoneum is established, and the remainder of the first 5 ports (left arm [L], right 1 [R1], right 2 [R2], assistant 1 [A1], and assistant 2 [A2] hereafter referred to by their abbreviations) are placed under direct visualization. The laparoscope is used to survey the abdominal cavity, and any adhesions are lysed with an Ethicon Ultracision Harmonic Scalpel (Ethicon Endosurgery). The transverse mesocolon is retracted superiorly with a standard laparoscopic grasper inserted through the A2 port, allowing visualization of the ligament of Treitz (LT). The robot is then rolled in and docked for the remainder of the procedure. Robot Positioning The robot base is positioned off of the patient's left shoulder at a steep angle (15°- 30° off patient midline) and as close to the table as the base permits. The legs should be parallel to a line between the robot base and the camera port (Figure 3). To avoid collisions, the redundant camera setup joints should be skewed away from the patient toward the right robot arm (Figure 4). The left arm should be positioned such that the external yaw axis is as close to vertical as possible, with the U-shaped metal frame pointing toward the camera arm (Figure 5). The right arm should be brought in relatively low, and the setup joints tucked close to the base so that the tool holder is in the middle of its range of motion in the pitch axis. Figure 3. Base position with respect to the operating room table. View larger version (38K): [in this window] [in a new window] Figure 4. Top view of setup joint position. View larger version (73K): [in this window] [in a new window] Figure 5. Left arm positioning with the "cradle" aligned vertically, showing the external yaw axis. View larger version (47K): [in this window] [in a new window] Robotic Procedure Once the robot is docked, the bowel may be manipulated by the console surgeon with Cadiere graspers (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, Calif) or bowel graspers. The patient side assistant also aids in manipulating and running the bowel. The assistant transects the bowel 20 to 40 cm from the LT using a 45-mm ETS-Flex stapler (Ethicon Endosurgery) with a 45-mm white cartridge (2.5 mm) through the A1 port. The jejunal mesentery is further divided by the assistant using a LigaSure Atlas (Valleylab, Boulder, Colo). As an alternative, the da Vinci Ultrasonic Shears could be used for mesenteric division. The assistant and the console surgeon then measure 100 to 150 cm of bowel for the Roux limb and align the Roux and biliopancreatic limbs. The console surgeon places a 7-in 3-0 Ethibond (Ethicon Endosurgery) stay stitch, aligning the bowel for the jejunojejunostomy using a needle driver and Debakey forceps. The needle driver is replaced with the Endowrist Permanent Electrocautery Hook (Intutitive Surgical), and the console surgeon creates enterotomies below the stay stitch. Then the console surgeon uses the stay stitch to provide countertraction for the assistant to complete the internal portion of the jejunojejunostomy with the linear stapler. The needle driver is replaced, and the console surgeon closes the enterotomy with a running 3-0 Ethibond single-layer suture. The mesenteric defect is then closed with figure-of-eight interrupted sutures. The transverse colon retraction is released from the A2 port. As we bring the Roux limb antecolic, the console surgeon grasps the omentum with Cadiere graspers and presents it for division by the assistant with a Ligasure Atlas. Once the omentum is split, the work in the LT area is complete, and the robot is shifted for work in the gastroesophageal (GE) area. Preparation for working in the GE area involves removing the right robot arm from the R1 double cannulated port, inserting the Intuitive Surgical port at the R2 position, and redocking the arm. The liver is retracted using a 5-mm liver retractor through the A2 port and held in place with a laparoscopic instrument holder (Thompson Surgical Instruments, Traverse City, Mich). The console surgeon repositions the tools and camera to visualize the angle of His. The console surgeon now performs the angle of His dissection with the electrocautery hook. When completed, dissection of the gastric pouch begins. We measure approximately 5 cm along the lesser curve and use the electrocautery hook to dissect at this location into the retrogastric space. The assistant removes the left robotic arm from the double cannulated (L) port, introduces the stapler, and creates the lower border of the gastric pouch with a blue cartridge (3.5 mm). The left robot arm is replaced, and the console surgeon provides traction for the assistant to staple the lateral border of the pouch, which is sized using a transoral 36F tube. An esophageal retractor is used to aid in completing transection of the stomach. The console surgeon then creates the enterotomies and a 2-layer sutured anastomosis. The outer and inner layers are sutured with running 7-in and 6-in 3-0 Ethibond sutures, respectively. The 36F tube is used to stent the anastomosis open while completing the anterior layers. The anastomosis is insufflated underwater to test for leaks. The robot and all ports are removed and the skin incisions closed. RESULTS Jump to Section • Top • Introduction • Methods • Results • Comment • Author information • References • Discussion The first 10 patients who underwent a laparoscopic gastric bypass (performed by M.J.C.) had their operations performed during July to September 2002. The first 11 patients in whom the robotic technique was used were operated on during March and April 2004. A male patient in the robotic series was excluded from analysis. He had to be converted to an open procedure because his liver was too large to be retracted laparoscopically. All remaining patients in both groups were female. No significant differences existed between the 2 patient groups in age, BMI, or numbers of comorbidities. The number and severity of complications were comparable, as were the number of patients who remained in the hospital past the standard length of stay (Table 2). Major complications were defined as those that required a subsequent operation to correct. In the first 10 laparoscopic cases, one patient developed an anastomotic leak and another required a revision of the jejunojejunostomy. In the first 10 robotic cases, one patient was returned to the operating room for an exploratory laparoscopy for postoperative fever and tachycardia to rule out an anastomotic leak. No leak was identified, and the patient responded well to empirical antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile. Another patient required surgical closure of a small bowel perforation proximal to the jejunojejunostomy, which was believed to have been caused by a tool insertion. Minor complications were successfully managed medically. In the first 10 laparoscopic cases, 3 patients had minor complications, including an urinary tract infection, a postoperative migraine, and an incisional bleed that required tamponade with a Foley balloon. In the first 10 robotic cases, one patient had an asthma exacerbation during resuscitation and another developed a minor infection of one of the trocar sites. View this table: Table 2. Laparoscopic vs Robotic Group Comparisons [in this window] [in a new window] The median length of time to complete the procedure was significantly shorter with the robot (169 vs 208 minutes; P = .03). In addition, the ratio of procedure time to BMI was considerably lower with the robot (median, 3.8 vs 5.0 minutes per BMI for the laparoscopic cases; P = .04). Moreover, the rate at which the operative times improved indicate that the learning curve for the robotic procedure is considerably shorter (Table 3 and Figure 6). We found that the mean minutes per BMI of our second 5 robotic procedures was 3.45 minutes, whereas the laparoscopic data for our senior attending surgeon did not attain a comparable 5-case mean of the metric until case 42. In addition, when the data from a bariatric fellow from the same institution were compared, that surgeon did not match the metric until surgical case 85. View this table: Table 3.

View larger version (19K): [in this window] [in a new window] COMMENT Jump to Section • Top • Introduction • Methods • Results • Comment • Author information • References • Discussion The exponential increase in bariatric operations performed during the last decade has led to a sharp increase in the number of surgeons who require advanced laparoscopic training. More than half of the bariatric operations performed in 2003 were laparoscopic procedures, according to the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons.3 Advanced laparoscopic skills such as intracorporeal knot tying, effective use of angled laparoscopes, and 2-handed organ and tissue manipulation are required. These skills can be challenging even to surgeons trained in advanced laparoscopy. However, the application of laparoscopic techniques to morbidly obese patients adds another set of obstacles, such as increased abdominal wall torque on the cannulae and awkward surgeon posture. The advent of surgical robotics has led to a reduction in some of the most difficult challenges in advanced laparoscopy. Omote et al10 demonstrated that a robotically controlled camera during laparoscopic procedures is superior to human control. General surgeons who are using the system for robotic-assisted cases state that the ability to manipulate tissue with wristed instruments that allow 6 df is an improvement, which is most apparent during suturing and fine tissue dissection.8 Ruurda et al11 compared the time requirements and accuracy associated with sewing small-bowel anastomoses laparoscopically and robotically and found the greatest benefit of the robotic system when sewing a vertically oriented anastomosis, such as is required for the gastrojejunostomy. This finding is further supported by Jacobsen et al,12 who queried the 11 surgeons across the country currently using the da Vinci system for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, gastric banding, or biliary pancreatic diversion. These surgeons found the laparoscopic, robotically assisted, hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy superior to any currently available, minimally invasive anastomotic technique. According to our surgeons, suturing both the gastrojejunostomy and the jejunojejunostomy was perceived to be technically easier with the robot compared with standard laparoscopy. Standard laparoscopic gastric bypass is an ergonomically challenging procedure. By separating the surgeon from the patient, the robotic procedure completely alleviates this issue as the surgeon sits at a comfortable, ergonomically designed console. The surgeons in our study concurred with the findings of Talamini et al,8 and thought that the ergonomics improved significantly at the console position and the patient side position. No torque effects were noticed by the console surgeon, especially in those patients with higher BMIs. One of the criticisms of routine robotic use is the increased operating room times associated with the learning curve of the robot. Institutions that have extensively used the da Vinci system have shown that for certain "basic training model" cases (Nissen and cholecystectomy), the learning curve on the system was 20 operations, at which point total operating room times with the robot matched those of the equivalent laparoscopic cases.13 This study and another by Hanly et al 14 revealed a learning curve for the surgical team associated with robot manipulation and setup during surgery to be 3 to 5 cases. In our experience, by the fifth robotic case, operating room times were consistently reduced to less than 2.5 hours, matching those of our current laparoscopic gastric bypass cases. In contrast, a consistent operating room time of less than 2.5 hours was obtained only after the 32nd laparoscopic case. To further examine the learning curve, we evaluated the minutes per BMI metric for the procedures, which accounts for the increasing difficulty of the surgery with increasing BMI and therefore allows easier cross-comparison. The mean duration per BMI of our second 5 robotic procedures was 3.45 minutes. Laparoscopic procedures by our senior surgeon (M.J.C.) and another attending physician at our institution attained a 5-case mean of 3.45 minutes per BMI in cases 42 and 85, respectively. This finding is consistent with the findings of Schauer et al 4 and Oliak et al,5 who found that the learning curve for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was 100 and 75 cases, respectively. This is a particularly notable contrast as the surgical team simultaneously climbed the robotic learning curve and the procedure learning curve during the first 10 totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass cases. Another criticism of routine robotic use in the operating room when compared with advanced laparoscopy is prolonged setup times before surgery. Other authors have found that setup times decrease rapidly with experience.8, 13, 15-16 In the current study, setup time was minimized by having 2 scrub nurses, one to do the standard preparation and draping of the patient and the other to prepare and drape the robot. By working in parallel, the robot setup and draping could be completed in the same time that it took to drape the patient for a standard laparoscopic surgery. However, when compared with standard laparoscopic procedures, robotic surgery cases are associated with unavoidable additional setup time issues as the system base must be moved into position and the arms positioned and attached to the cannulae. Repositioning the base of the robot during surgery or radically repositioning the arms can add significant time to a procedure. However, in our study, we devised an initial robotic setup and a logical schedule of 2 minor arm adjustments that allowed a rapid reduction in operating room times as we became more facile with the robot. In particular, the ability to maintain the robot base in a single orientation with respect to the patient, despite the need to work in distant abdominal quadrants, significantly reduced our operative times, thus making the use of the robot more attractive to the surgeons and operating room staff alike. In addition, by our fifth case, robotic tool changes were achieved almost as rapidly as laparoscopic tool changes. For a 2-quadrant surgical procedure such as the standard laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic tools are regularly moved through 180° or more so that the greatest operative area may be reached from a minimum number of ports. With a standard da Vinci setup in which the pitch axis is used to move between surgical areas, mechanical constraints of the robot limit the movement to 104° (±52° from center). The challenge was to devise port placements and arm positions so that the operating spaces in the LT area and GE area could be reached with a single robot setup and be unencumbered by the robotic joint limitations. The solution that enabled us to perform 2-quadrant surgery ended up being a nonstandard left arm position, which allowed the movement from the LT to the GE areas to be accomplished with the robot's external yaw axis rather than the pitch axis (Figure 5). Because the R1 operative port is placed caudally to both operative areas, we are able to access the LT and GE positions with a more standard arm setup, but we end up limited more by the tool reach (insertion axis). For a patient with a short torso, the approximately 20-cm maximum insertion reach is sufficient to allow movement and unhampered manipulation in both areas, but for most patients, the GE area is too far away to be reached from below the LT area. This may be addressed in the future with longer tools, but with the existing da Vinci tools, we move the robot arm from a lower port to an upper operative port partway through the procedure. The first port is then used as an assistant access port. The double cannulation technique of inserting an Intuitive Surgical cannula inside an Ethicon port allowed quick docking and undocking of a robot arm, greatly increasing the utility of all of the ports. Reluctance to use new technology such as the da Vinci surgical robot often reflects surgeon concern over increasing complication rates, increased operative times, and steep learning curves. Any new technology must be proven feasible and safe. Our results support the robot's feasibility in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as we achieved comparable operating room times with an extremely short learning curve. Designing efficient port placement and using a nonstandard left robotic arm position has enabled the entire case to be performed robotically, unlike our surgical colleagues, who limit their robotic applications to the gastrojejunostomy. Likewise, both major and minor complications were similar between the robotic and laparoscopic group, suggesting that a totally robotic laparoscopic gastric bypass is a safe and potentially superior alternative to traditional laparoscopic gastric bypass.

Any decent StarCraft player can tell you the difference between a Diamond League pro and Bronze League scrub: It's all in the keyboard. Although StarCraft can be played entirely with the mouse, a good player is going to be hammering away at the keyboard nonstop throughout the match—issuing attack orders, queuing units and buildings, and jumping around the map.
Razer must understand this, because the Marauder is the high point of its SCII lineup. Not amazing, mind you, but solid enough.
From a design standpoint, the Marauder does a good job of matching the StarCraft II visual style, though it still features some of the ugly wannabe-steel plastic seen on the Spectre. The keys themselves are nicer, with a satiny rubber finish. They're your standard dome-switch keys, but with a little more resistance than usual, and a satisfyingly long travel.
In an interesting twist, Razer has gone for a shortened design with the Marauder—not by removing the number pad, as is most common, but by removing the arrow keys and the keys traditionally above them, such as Delete, Home, and Page Up. These keys have been mapped onto the number pad, and are accessed by hitting a new "Num Mode" key. We appreciate that the Marauder takes up less desk space than usual, but anyone who ever uses the keyboard for camera control or in any custom gametypes may find themselves at a disadvantage.
On the bright side, the Marauder is decked out with color-changing LEDs, with separate controls for the key lights, the Razer logo, and the underlights, which shine from underneath the keyboard. Like the whole lineup, these lights can be customized to change based on APM, or when certain events happen in-game—like when an enemy attacks your base, or when a unit is produced.
Nice-feeling rubberized keys, good software support
Lack of arrow keys limit your play options, no USB passthrough

Have you got a Baby Bjorn, or some such child carrier? I've always found this the best piece of gear for lugging small kids around airports, leaving your hands free for dealing with luggage, security, etc. Plus this soft piece of gear packs down to a manageable size when you don't need it. Depending on where you're flying into, I'd say the train is the safest bet with young kids, though am sure you could check with cab companies ahead of time to see who provides child seats. Once you arrive in Manhattan, my preference would be the subway (with Baby Bjorn) or walking (with stroller!).

Question from YYK555
Why does the game keep telling me "Too many failed logins?"
I downloaded the beta and my friend told me I don't need an account to login. But when I press login they just keep say too many failed login.

But it is a beta.

Accepted Answer
his friend is RIGHT! when you click login with nothing in the login details, it will say "Too many failed login attempts". To play offline, like this, you must already have the minecraft that allow it to run. Notch was smart when he did that. You must have the drivers which are automatically downloaded when you play online.

You need an account, just spend the 25-ish dollars if you want Minecraft that badly.
