Home > News > Foundation Approves Capital Campaign for Surgical Robot
Published on June 23, 2011
OCEANSIDE, June 23 – Continuing its mission to advance the health and wellness in the community, the Tri‐City Hospital Foundation has committed to raise $1.5 million toward the purchase of a da Vinci Si Robotic Surgical System. This breakthrough surgical technology allows surgeons to perform
minimally invasive procedures using a 3D high definition camera head, fingertip controls, surgical dexterity and precision far greater than even the human hand. Tri‐City Medical Center will be the only hospital in north San Diego County with the newest version of this cutting edge technology.
"There are many benefits to performing surgery through this piece of equipment," said Tobi Ferguson, the Foundation's chief executive officer, "including significantly less pain, shorter hospital stays, less risk of infection and faster recovery. This new piece of equipment will benefit all programs and patients of Tri‐City Medical Center, but it will particularly benefit Tri‐City Medical Center's Cancer, Cardiovascular and Women's Health centers."
Together, these technological advancements provide the hospital's surgeons with unparalleled precision, dexterity and control that enable a minimally invasive approach for many complex surgical procedures, ranging from bladder cancer to kidney disorders to thyroid cancer.
The Foundation's $1.5 million will be augmented by Tri‐City Medical Center to complete the $2.6 million price tag for the surgical system. Furthermore, funds from the Aug. 4, 2011 Charity Reception at the Mercury Insurance Open Presented by Tri‐City Medical Center women's tennis event at La Costa Resort and Spa will support this initiative. It is an ideal match since the robotic surgery is a primary surgical intervention for women's health.
"With this great new addition to the Medical Center, the Foundation is launching a capital campaign to challenge the community to help fund innovations such as this," said Craig Lindholm, Foundation chairman.
In a message of thanks to the Tri‐City Hospital Foundation, Larry Anderson, CEO of Tri‐City Medical Center, said, "We are committed to creating a robotic surgery program 'second to none' in San Diego County. We are already identifying both surgeon and clinical support staff champions to ensure a successful launch of our da Vinci Si program."
Tri‐City Medical Center is a full‐service hospital with physicians practicing in 60 specialties. The medical center is administered by the Tri‐City Healthcare District, which includes most of Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista.
Tri‐City Hospital Foundation is a link between the community and the hospital. Since its creation, the Foundation has raised over $40 million. Many of the hospital's most mission‐critical facilitieshave been supported in whole or part by Foundation initiatives.

The 135th Westminster Dog Show: Best In Show And In HeartsDanielle Sullivan
Valentine's Day is quite possibly the best possible time for the The Westminster Kennel Club 135th Annual Dog Show to take place. While these adorable pooches are well-trained and impeccably groomed, what they do best is make their families happy. Despite the idea that these dogs are superior because they look so picture perfect prancing around Madison Square Garden, they are at their basic core, pets that are incredibly loved and want to please their owners. They also have owners that love them back who treat them not as just a possession, but part of the family.
I know that feeling well.
A few months ago, we brought home an adorable pup from North Shore Animal League in Long Island. It was anything but an easy decision because there were so many adorable pups; it was ridiculously difficult to choose. There were two rooms of puppies and we looked at every single one for about an hour. Then workers just wheeled in another set of cages with new arrivals and she was in that batch. She was a quiet, mushy, black Lab that stared at us with those "take me home" eyes.
Our pup is without a doubt part of our family, and Labrador retrievers are a popular choice in the Westminster Dog show. Here's the breakdown as reported by NBC Sports:
A total of 2,597 dogs representing 179 breeds from 49 states, Washington D.C. and Canada will compete. For the first time since 1998, New York leads California with the most entries.
This year, the highest number for one breed is the Rhodesian Ridgeback with 56 contenders. However, Avello has this breed ranked at 175-1 to win. Other top entries include Golden Retrievers (46), French Bulldogs (44), Vizslas (40), Australian Shepherds (39), Labrador Retrievers (38), German Shorthaired Pointers (36), Pugs (33), and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (31).
This year, Westminster is also introducing six new breeds that have been officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. The versatile Boykin Spaniel joins the Sporting Group; the athletic Bluetick Coonhound and the courageous Redbone Coonhound join the Hound Group; the robust Cane Corso, an Italian Breed and the elegant Leonberger join the Working Group; and the agile Icelandic Sheepdog joins the Herding Group.
So far, our puppy is now 4-months old and knows how to sit, give paw, speak, wave hello, and lay down, but we hope to teach her other tricks as time goes on. We will be tuning in for the show eagerly rooting for the labs. Two Smooth Fox Terriers named Dodger and Adam are presumed to be top leaders. Watching the show together as a family is a fun way to spend a cold weekend night and since everyone has favorite, or a favorite class, you can vote for your favorites as a family.
Here is the schedule:
Monday, February 14 is the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding Groups at 8-9 p.m. (ET) live on USA Network and 9-11 p.m. (ET) live on CNBC.
Tuesday, February 15 showcases the Sporting, Working and Terrier Groups, Best In Show 8-11 p.m. (ET) live on USA Network.
Could your family pooch make it to Westminster? What tricks have you taught your dog? What would you like to teach them?

Comic Con: Jeff Bridges Plays Both Clu And Flynn In Tron: Legacy Confirmed
By Josh Tyler 2010-07-22 12:44:28 comments
One of the big pieces of speculation surrounding Tron: Legacy, from the beginning, is just exactly what role Jeff Bridges will play in the movie. In the original Tron he played two roles. He was the human Kevin Flynn, sucked into the computer world, but he was also very briefly Clu, a computer program designed by Flynn. In the computer world, a program created by someone usually ends up looking exactly like them.
For a long time the speculation has been that Clu will be back in Tron: Legacy and that Bridges will again play dual roles, with Clu somehow having turned evil to become the movies villain and Flynn having gone inside the computer to fight against him. Today at Comic Con during the Tron: Legacy panel at least part of that was confirmed. Jeff Bridges will indeed play both Clu and Kevin Flynn in the movie. Whats more while Kevin Flynn will be the same age as the now 61-year-old Bridges, Clu will still be a much younger Bridges, a 35-year younger Bridges. Jeff was in his twenties when he first made Tron so this must same Clu from that movie. Is he the villain? We don't know, but somethings definitely up here if theyre going through the trouble to de-age him.
Here's a look at the character who many believe is Clu in the Tron: Legacy trailer:

Will How I Met Your Mother Return For Season 9?
Fans of How I Met Your Mother could be getting a late Christmas gift.
According to E! News, negotiations for a ninth season of the CBS comedy are looking good, with the cast verbally agreeing to return for another season of the hit show.
Contracts are reportedly in the process of being finalized, and chances are looking good despite rumors that Jason Segal was leaving the show after Season 8.
"Renewal is close and formal announcement is expected after Christmas," a source said.
Let's hope they make this ninth and possibly final season truly "legendary."

For many e cigarette users it is more convenient to use disposables as opposed to simply buying a full kit. This is because there is a level of upkeep that comes with using a full kit so it is understandable how someone who spends more time on the go would want to use the much simpler version of the e cigarette. When you are buying disposable e cigarettes you run into the question of just how to use disposables on a regular basis. The answer to this is buying them buy the carton.
Cartons may seem to be overkill in price when compared to simply buying a full kit. However they are actually very affordable, especially when you compare them to the price of real cigarettes. A ten pack carton of disposables is roughly $90. This may be overkill for some on price but consider that the cheapest carton of real cigarettes is roughly $40. When you take into account that every disposable has the longevity of roughly three packs of cigarettes it becomes apparent how one is technically saving money.

Hierodeacon Herman (Majkrzak)
Hierodeacon Herman (Majkrzak)Lecturer in Liturgical Music
Hierodeacon Herman was appointed the Chapel Music Director at St. Vladimir's in late April of 2010. His childhood and youth were spent immersed in the Anglo-Catholic liturgical and musical traditions, which led him to the study of organ and choral music at Westminster Choir College, in Princeton, New Jersey, where, in 1999, he was received into the Orthodox Church.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Fr. Herman enrolled at St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary, South Canaan, Pennsylvania, where he graduated with an M.Div. in 2005. The following two years he spent as the choir director and instructor in Liturgical Music and Liturgical Theology at St. Herman's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska. In 2007 Fr. Herman became a novice at the Monastery of St. John of San Francisco, in Manton, California. A year later he was tonsured a Rassophore-monk and ordained to the Holy Diaconate.
In the summer of 2009 Fr. Herman was asked by His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, former primate of the Orthodox Church in America, to fulfill various obediences on the East Coast. He was transferred to St. Vladimir's Seminary and began part time studies there in the M.Th. program. In addition, he is an editor of liturgical publications for St. Tikhon's Monastery Press, has assisted in the music program at St. Tikhon's Seminary, and, at St. Vladimir's, has served as the faculty liaison for St. Ambrose Society, the seminary's student-led Pro-Life interest group.
Father Herman took monastic vows and was tonsured to the Lesser Schema on September 24th, 2011, at Three Hierarchs' Chapel at the Seminary. He is a member of the Brotherhood of St. Tikhon's Monastery.

3 - Before his second feature directorial effort, Mother Of George, hits theaters next week Friday, you should check out Andrew Dosunmu's enchanting, acclaimed feature film debut, Restless City, especially if you're not at all familiar with his work. Although it's one of those films that begs to be seen on as large a screen as possible (you can thank Bradford Young's beautiful cinematography for that), this will prepare you for what's to come.
Restless City tells the story of young, nomadic Senegalese immigrant, Djbirl (played by Sy Alassane), an aspiring musician, struggling to survive on the fringes of New York City. When he falls in love with a prostitute (Jamaican-born model/actress Nicole Grey) who works for Bekay, the local loan shark, he suddenly finds some much needed meaning and purpose to his otherwise aimless existence, forcing him to make decisions that eventually prove fatal.
The New York City-set story is one that I've championed on this site since its Sundance debut in January 2011. So check it out for yourselves if you haven't yet.
By the way, the star of Dosunmu's upcoming Mother Of George (you'll also know her as Michonne from The Walking Dead), Danai Gurira, has a supporting role in Restless City.

There is a certain etiquette when one plays golf (ugly pants?), and actor Josh Duhamel seemed to respect that when he hit the links on Friday (March 16).
Duhamel showed off his new mohawk haircut as he stopped at a gas station on the way to play golf with a friend. Josh, who shaved the sides of his head off for a role in his new film Scenic Route, was photographed wearing a hat once he made it on to the golf course.
In the film, Duhamel stars alongside Kung Fu Panda actor Dan Fogler as former college friends who decide to hit the highway together. Their friendship is put to the test when things go awry and they find themselves stranded in the desert.
Check out all the pics of Josh's new hairdo in the gallery.

#2: ANA & Peach. B747-400D HND-CTS-KIX + Hokkaido trains
Welcome to Part 2 of my 2013 Autumn Asia reports, covering the ANA 747-400D and Peach's A320.
In case you missed, it, here's part 1:
#1: The Reindeer Route to Tokyo. AY 320 & JL 787
747-400D? What's one of those?
Well, Boeing conspired with Japanese airlines (Japan Airlines and ANA) to adapt the spacious and long legged 747-400 into a shorthual pack horse. This –D aircraft (standing for Domestic) would be ideal for the short but very busy flights between Japanese cities. I don't know the technical endeavours they went thought, lest to say the range is only around 2,000 miles, rather than over 7,000 miles for other 744 family members. And of course, with a high density seating arrangement, the capacity is nudging 600, quite a lot more seats than normal. You can tell these aircraft apart by the lack of wingtips. There are also extra windows upstairs, where normally there would be a galley.
There were just 19 of these aircraft built for JL and NH, and all delivered between 1991 and 1995. Sadly, this is a dying breed. JL retired the last of their -400Ds in 2011, and ANA's final four aircraft will be gone before next summer. I had long wanted a ride on one of these, and this would be my chance. NH operate a few roundtrips every day from Haneda to Sapporo, as well as to a few southern destinations like Okinawa. Of course, this wasn't the cheapest option to get up to Hokkaido (Japan's North Island), but it was the most interesting.
I booked on the NH Japanese website. It was rather clunky to say the least. I managed to get all the way to what I thought was the end of the reservations process, only to find myself back on the welcome page….er, what? I went through everything again, more slowly this time. Luckily, I managed to negotiate the less than obvious process this time. I was a little alarmed that I was given a confirmation code of just 4 digits…it that it? And I had no confirmation email. I called the London office, who confirmed that I'd done everything right – they sent me an email to show that I did have a real reservation.
Up in Hokkaido, I planned to do a bit of walking and soaking (in onsen), before coming back down to the south, before heading over to China. A friend from school has recently moved to Osaka. I'd not been to Osaka. JL had plenty of mileage seats from Osaka to Shanghai…..as such, Osaka was my destination!
I was quite lucky in so much as I stumbled across the Peach Aviation site when looking for flights. Peach is a joint venture with ANA and some venture capitalists, operating A320s around Japan and East Asia from their KIX hub. It just so happened that the only very cheap flight on the CTS-KIX route happened to be on the right day, and the right time. I booked for just JPY 7,500 (GBP 45), including checking a bag, and reserving an exit seat, quite a bit cheaper than my NH flight up from Tokyo (nearly JPY 18,000). So, I was all set!
Funnily enough, this wouldn't be my first time on an airline named Peach. Back in 1997, I experienced my first charter flights with Peach Air, flying a Lockheed L1011 LGW-DLM-LGW.

"A must-read for anyone who wishes to understand the true nature of our fiscal problems. A fascinating and lively history of how we got into this budgetary mess and a brilliant analysis, dispassionate and balanced, of what we need to do to get out of it."
—Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lords of Finance
"In this powerful book, Johnson and Kwak cut through both the partisanship and the complexities of the debate over America's national debt to give us a clear understanding of why it matters and what to do about it. America's future depends vitally upon bringing our deficits under control while also investing in our growth, and this book tells us how to do both."
—Charles Ferguson, director of the Academy Award-winning documentary Inside Job
"By skillfully placing the debt debate in an insightful historical context and providing detailed recommendations, Johnson and Kwak make a major and timely contribution to a national debate that will only get more heated in the years ahead. It's a must-read for those wondering about the relationship between the national debt and America's challenges; the choices that we must make to restore fiscal viability, promote growth, create jobs, and reduce inequality; and the way that polarized politics torpedoes coherent discussion of these complex issues."
—Mohamed A. El-Erian, CEO of PIMCO and prize-winning author of When Markets Collide
"Johnson and Kwak have written a book every American should read. It gives us a rich context for understanding the problem of today's national debt. Full of wisdom and specific recommendations, it reminds us that only when citizens understand the seriousness of our predicament will politicians take the necessary steps to strengthen our country. Let's hope this book is a best seller."
—Bill Bradley, former United States senator and cosponsor of the Tax Reform Act of 1986
"Could there be a more important subject today than the national debt? And could there be two smarter, clearer, more incisive writers to tell us about it than Simon Johnson and James Kwak? With precision and common sense, WHITE HOUSE BURNING tells the story of where our debt came from, what it means, and what we can do about it. This is the kind of important, informed, and accessible book a democracy can't do without."
—Noah Feldman, Bemis Professor of International Law, Harvard Law School, and author of Scorpions: The Battles and Triumphs of FDR's Great Supreme Court Justices
"As they did in 13 Bankers, Johnson and Kwak imbed a crucial current policy debate in the history of the United States economy. Their blueprint for resolving the budget problem without trampling on the basic needs of average Americans is must-reading."
—C. Fred Bergsten, director, Peterson Institute for International Economics
"If you are puzzled about how our country's finances got so messed up, look no further. Johnson and Kwak explain, with great lucidity and flair, how the battle lines on debt and taxes have been drawn going back to the founding fathers, and how things got off the rails in the last two decades. And they have good news for you: even if our politicians are incorrigible, our problems are not insoluble."
—Daron Acemoglu, Elizabeth and James Killian Professor of Economics, MIT, and coauthor of Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
"The politicians don't care about the economics. The economists don't understand the politics. Johnson and Kwak get both, that's why you should read this book."
—James Robinson, David Florence Professor of Government, Harvard University, and coauthor of Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
"In their important, enlightening new book, White House Burning, economist Simon Johnson and lawyer James Kwak point out the absurdities of a budget debate dominated by partisan exaggerations and warnings of pending doom."
—SF Gate
"Johnson and Kwak bring dispassionate insights to bear on the bedeviling question of how to fix our fiscal mess before it gets fixed for us."

Jersey Shore
Jersey Shore's Angelina Pivarnick Welcomes New Addition: Meet Baby Giordana Grace! (PHOTO)
Angelina Pivarnick is becoming an aunt! Well, kind of/sort of.
The former Jersey Shore star took to Instagram, posting tons of adorable photos of herself holding a baby girl. The newborn, named Giordana Grace, belongs to Angelina's boyfriend Anthony's sister. So they may not technically be related, but man, is this bow-wearing baby adorable!
And it looks like having a new bundle of joy around is giving Angelina baby fever herself. Along with one of the photos, she wrote, "Little baby. Makes me want one."
Afterall, Angelina did tell the public back in 2011 that she was pregnant and had suffered a miscarriage. And while some people questioned the truth behind that, it looks like this Jersey girl is ready to start trying.
And while we doubt her little one would have a friend in Snooki's baby Lorenzo, we'd welcome all mini guidos and guidettes into the expanding Jersey Shore family!

Highland Hawks
Division I, Section II
Last year's record: 4-6, did not qualify for Division I playoffs
Coach: Pete Wahlheim
Returning offensive starters: 6, including junior QB Blake Young, who threw for 1,109 yards in a handful of starts (especially late in the season).
Returning defensive starters: 5, including junior linebacker Grant Gale, who'll anchor a new 4-3 defense under new coordinator Sammy Johns.
Aug. 24 at Mesquite; Aug. 31 at Gilbert; Sept. 7 vs. Desert Ridge; Sept. 14 vs. Corona del Sol; Sept. 21 at Basha; Sept. 28 vs. Skyline; Oct. 5 at Desert Mountain; Oct. 12 at Mountain View; Oct. 19 vs. Mesa; Oct. 26 vs. Red Mountain
Key Games
Aug. 24 at Mesquite: This two-year scheduling block pits the Gilbert district against one another early and often. Familiarity should rule here, except widespread schematic, coaching and personnel changes by Mesquite make scouting and preparations difficult for the Hawks. It also brings us to ...
Aug. 31 at Gilbert: ...which has the same thing(s) working for it and against the Hawks with new Gilbert coach Leland Rogers. It's a big early stretch for Highland with the likes of Basha, Desert Ridge and Red Mountain on the schedule later
Oct. 12 at Mountain View: Any number of games could fall here, as the Hawks seek a playoff berth. They're all going to be equally important at this stage, but October is looking like the most difficult of the months for the Hawks, so they'll need to win one or two late in the season for a postseason chance.
It's time to make a move.
An 0-5 start to 2011 gave way to a 4-1 finish, an obvious cause for optimism at Highland, where coach Pete Wahlheim's group was hammered by injuries and youth early last season.
To the team's credit, they persevered and won four of their final five games, and though not enough for a playoff spot, core pieces of that team return.
Beyond them, however, is an increase in talent, depth and "an outstanding offseason of conditioning and development, the best in years," according to Wahlheim.
It's not without changes and subsequent challenges. Struggling to oversee the millions of issues within a football program and still try to scheme and coach his kids, Wahlheim hired former Marcos de Niza assistant Sammy Johns as his new defensive coordinator.
It figures to take a month or so for his players to be fully grasped of the new scheme, but the optimism remains paramount.
Hopes follow to the offensive side. With QB Blake Young returning and second-leading receiver Bill Johnson (30 rec., 396 yards) also returning with junior Jake Brown, the Hawks would love to throw the ball once again to achieve better balance.
Already hampered by significant injuries, the Hawks again could face early difficulties until they can get healthy in a few weeks. Here's where they're happy about their depth, and if they bide time by getting off to a good start - and hang around in the interim of August and early September, some competitive expectations are not unfair.
"I think it's time for us to win some games," Wahlheim said. "Our kids have put in the work. Our (participation) numbers, conditioning, talent level are as good as ever. I think we can have a good year. I really do. It's time to turn the corner a little bit."

Cybersecurity an occupation, not a profession, says report
Cybersecurity as a field is yet too young and the threats change too rapidly for the federal government to undertake its professionalization, concludes a study from a National Academy of Sciences panel commissioned by the Homeland Security Department.
Professionalization is distinct from specialized knowledge, intensive training or education, the report notes; nor is it "a proxy for 'better.'"
Rather, the report says that professionalization means the establishment of standards governing ethics and education, an expectation that workers have certification attesting to minimum levels of knowledge, possibly even restricting practice without a license.
But cybersecurity encompasses "a variety of contexts, roles, and occupations and is too broad and diverse to be treated as a single occupation or profession," the report says. The task force allows for only one possible cybersecurity sub-field where there exists a compelling case for professionalization, that of digital forensics examiners.
"The work is comparatively narrowly defined by procedures and law, the relevant domain of expertise appears to be sufficiently narrow, and the appropriate professionalization mechanism is clear," the report says--conditions absent elsewhere in cybersecurity.
Professionalization acts as a funnel that restricts people from entering a field and as a magnet that attracts people to it, the report says, but notes that overreliance on certification today could screen out some of the most talented and suitable cyber experts.
There are cybersecurity certifications that exist; the report cites ISC(2)'s Certified Information Systems Security Professional as a canonical example. During workshops held as research for the report, however, some CISSPs told the task force they leave the certificate off their resume since in some cybersecurity contexts, experience and demonstrated ability are seen as the better measures.
Moreover, responding to an attack requires anticipating how attackers act, the report says, meaning that in some jobs, an adversarial mindset can be as important as technical skills.
Certification has the additional challenge of requiring time to reach consensus on the knowledge and skills to be assessed. That creates risk that certification standards could fail to keep pace with the fast moving pace of cybersecurity threats or that certification could cause ossification of skills in cyber workers, since "those certified may not be incentivized to learn beyond what was included in the last certification test."

Comments about Pearl Quick-Release Conga, Timbale, and Djembe Stand:
This stand weighs a ton. It is extremely sturdy. You could jack up a house with this. It will definitely last for years of tough road use though. But, besides being built like a tank it is very useful. The number of adjustment possibilities is amazing. It's extremely easy to install the percussion instrument. Once the stand is set up for the instrument once, all you have to do is slide the adapter in and move the locking handle. It only takes a couple of seconds and you are ready to go. My band is currently using it for a djembe, but the additional items you can add is great for the future. Besides being a little pricey and very heavy, it is worth it. All around a very good stand.

On Wednesday night, we had the pleasure of helping sponsor a party at San Francisco's Stable Cafe. And there was certainly a great reason behind the celebration: The Curiosity Shoppe has teamed up with Target to design a collection of home goods. The partnership is part of The Shops at Target, a new series of collaborations with awesome designers like Patch NYC, Odin, and our talented pals Derek and Lauren.
We were able to get a sneak peek at the pieces during the party, and let me tell you: they are adorable. In fact, I spent most of the night camped out in the pop-up shop that was installed at the back of the courtyard—after all, it was the ideal place to avoid the wind, mingle, sip sangria, chow on lobster rolls, and admire the goods. From the delicious food, supplied by graffEats, to the lovely decor and gifts and marvelous company, it was a wonderful time.
To see more photos, please visit the event's Facebook page. Thank you again to everyone who attended the party, and congratulations to Derek and Lauren and Target for a such a successful collaboration! We can't for you all to see their designs when they hit the shelves at Target stores everywhere on September 9th.
Derek and Lauren of The Curiosity Shoppe: super sweet, remarkably talented, creative couple extraordinaire!

friend: go to chainlove...that womens bike jersey comes with its own tramp stamp :-)
maybe you should get it :-P
me: thats a pretty cool jersey!
friend: i thought so too
but they never have guys stuff there!
me: oh whine. with the exception of chainlove its a male centric universe anyway
friend: yea right!
woman run this world....most men are just too stupid to figure that out
me: im kinda disappointed you know our secret
friend: sorry....i figured it out a long time ago.
me: crap
friend: And since I did life has been pretty good. :-) Learn how to not piss women off, make them happy and life goes oh soo much better.
Men who argue and fight with women just make their lives harder less pleasant
oh yea...i forgot one thing up there. Listen to them from time to time- each woman is differnt...so what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others.
I know stuff about women I wish I would have never learned though....like the fem products project i'm working on

YouTube Adds New Video Editing Tool
Editing your video after uploading it to YouTube is nothing new, but that would result in a new video with a new address, and YouTube guessed not many users would want to go through the hassle of linking their videos all over again.
Well good news is YouTube has released a new video editing tool. The magical "Edit video" button will allow you to add effects, swap soundtracks and trim your clips. After all, we wouldn't have time to do those if we posted the videos right off our mobile phones do we?
The previous video editing tool, YouTube Editor, will still be around, but if you want simplicity, the one-click "Edit video" option might work for you.

what kind of road is that you guys are on? one of the fabled bike lanes/paths i hear about?
i've noticed in your two videos i've watched (the one with the descent) that there are tons of riders where you're at. i have yet to pass/see another rider when i'm out on a ride (northwest KC, KS area, bumpy chip-sealed country roads).
cool video - i have the same Performance jersey as "Fred" does (can't beat $9).
Well everybody in Casablanca has problems. Yours may work out.
~~Humphrey Bogart
Thanks! Yup, a bike trail we frequent is Santa Ana River Trail. I read lots of comments on the forums about over crowded trails etc. Our trail isn't not that bad. Can be a little crowded in some short sections (parks etc) but the trial is 30 miles one wy and 60 roundtrip. There are sections where we may not see another rider for 10 miles. In the late afternoon, we may go 20 while only spotting 5 other riders.
The descent video is on Glendora Mountain Rd. 20 mile climb to Baldy Village. 42 roundtrip with 5,000 ft of climbing. 10 years ago we could do this 42 mile ride with only seeing 3 other riders. Now cycling is more popular so we see 10 in the first 8 miles. The section section of 13 miles is usually not as crowded, might see 4 other riders.
I am Fred in the video. Another camera shy rider snatched the recorder from my hand and got a shot of me. I have the flour green jersey, the light blue, and yellow. I picked them up couple months back. I paid $19 then a month later the $9 special came out.
I have about 150 videos on youtube. Many of the trail and the mountain ride (GMR). Many times I figure I won't shoot a video but then we run into othe riders we know or meet. Lots of forum members. On the trail, we may encounter 200 riders on a 45 miler.
Matter of fact, we did a ride through the mountains with 45 winds with gust at 65. One rider was blown over and knocked unconscious.
You might not have seen it in my other videos but there is a flag that is about 30 yards long that is straight out when the wind is high. When it's out, we know it's windy. On these days, we could easliy hold 30 to the coast. But it's senseless when you know you have to head back. We encounter a bunch of these riders. Funny though when you are heading back and they are on the side of the road puking or in tears.
FTR, I just looked up an average wind table based over several years. It seems Denver is about 1 mph higher average than Los Angeles.

Five-year $69 million roadwork plan outlined
City officials also could ask neighboring Murrieta, which has a quarter of the project in its boundaries, and other neighboring communities in Southwest County to help with Scott Road interchange costs, Smith said.
The city also will begin to address the McCall interchange with work on preliminary designs to begin this year, although Denver said that was a project he'd like to see moved up the timeline to ease congestion in Sun City.
While Mayor Scott Mann said he hoped to push the Holland Road overpass ahead of other projects -- it was a focal point of his election campaign last year -- he acknowledged that city officials presented a plan that appeared to logically move toward improving traffic throughout the city.
"This is a strategic planning document," Mann said. "This city has never had a five-year capital improvement plan. I've got goose bumps."

Some of FARM's supporters have inquired about our position on HR 3798, the bill that would replace state laying hen welfare standards with national ones, including conversion from traditional to "enriched" battery cages. (Background on HR 3798)
After extensive reading and discussions, we have decided to favor passage of HR 3798, for these reasons
Industry sources estimate the long-term increase in production cost associated with introduction of "enriched" cages to be 15-17%. The increase is unlikely to affect individual consumption of shell eggs, because eggs will remain a cheap source of protein and no suitable alternative is available. On the other hand, the increase is likely to have a substantial effect on food processors and food servers (restaurants and food services) who are very sensitive to cost increases and are likely to have suitable alternatives. Pursuit of such initiatives with individual states and retailers, in lieu of a national standard, would not generate the desired price increase for food processors and servers, because these industries would continue to source their eggs from cheap out-of-state producers.
Some important notes:
For a detailed explanation of our strategy and preferred tactics, see FARM's Approach.

The much hyped Salman-Katrina break up stories has failed to create a breach between the actors. If the reports are to be believed Katrina still considers Salman Khan to be her best guide and advisor in the industry.
Till now, Katrina maintained a respectable silence regarding their relation and break up. However, recently the actress has opened her mouth regarding the issue. There was a buzz that Katrina was infuriated with Salman because he chose Sonakshi over her for the female lead role in Dabangg. However, Kat has cleared the air saying that she was the first choice for the role but she did not take it up because she felt that she would not be able to do it perfectly.
The 26-year-old actress stated that it would be very unfair on her part to discuss about a professional offer only because some other girl is finalized for that. She added that they had a disaster with their last film Yuvvraaj so they took this mutual decision to work on a different kind of project in their next venture. She said that they would not be signing together a routine love story.
Katrina claims to be very close to Salman even today and she terms him to be her 4 AM friend. According to her, they keep in touch with each other regularly and message each at least once a day. She also claimed to be taking career advises from him whenever required. Confirming this, Katrina said that Salman was around her when she was hospitalized.
Justifying her absence from various programmes organized by Salman, Kat said that it was only because she was involved with some or the other thing. Speaking about her absence from the blood donation camp organized by Salman in Mumbai, Kat said that she was diagnosed with a blood condition at that time.
The actress promises to be there by Salman whenever required and the same she expects from him too. Well, the truth is known by the couple only and time will bring it out soon!

World business leaders on Wednesday said there is a need for a golden triangle collaboration between governments, companies and the civil society to rejuvenate the global economy, create jobs and fight corruption.
They also urged the economic movers and shakers attending the World Economic Forum annual meeting here to join forces to chart a clear path for the way forward. The meeting, with participation of influential world leaders like British Prime Minister David Cameron as well as Indian ministers and businessmen, is taking place at a time when fiscal woes across continents and anaemic world economic growth are posing policy as well as political challenges.
Setting the tone for the deliberations at this snowy resort town, Coca-Cola Company chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent, also co-chair of WEF meet, said that growth and job creation are going to be key for the global economy going forward. We need to ask how can business, government and civil society rise to the challenge and create a golden triangle, Kent said.
The call for collaborative efforts comes against the backdrop of corruption issues coming to the fore in various countries, including India, where the role of companies, banks, the government as well as individuals are under the scanner.

Hamas terrorists parade with weapons through Gaza streets Sunday in group's largest show of force in years, defying Palestinian efforts to ban public arms displays; leaders vow to continue fighting Israel as tens of thousands cheer and wave group's green flags; masked gunmen hoist assault rifles, rockets, anti-tank missiles

Thousands of Hamas terrorists paraded with weapons through the streets of Gaza City on Sunday in the group's largest show of force in years, defying Palestinian efforts to ban public arms displays.
The march by 10,000 members of the Islamic faction's armed wing also dealt a blow to hopes that Israel's withdrawal of its army from the Gaza Strip last week could lead to a quick resumption of peace talks for Palestinian statehood.
Hamas leaders vowed to continue fighting Israel as tens of thousands cheered and waved the group's green flags and masked gunmen hoisted assault rifles, rockets and anti-tank missiles.
"We will not rest and will not abandon the path of Jihad and martyrdom as long as one inch of our land remained in the hands of the Jews," said Raed Saed, a senior Hamas leader in Gaza City, using the Arabic term for holy war.
"We are here addressing a clear message to whom it may concern that anybody who tries to crack down on Hamas is going to fail," said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas leader.
'Rafah must be free of Zionist soldiers'
Senior Hamas political leaders also took part in the rally, which was seen as part of the organization's campaign in light of Israel's statements against the inclusion of Hamas in the elections.
Hamas leader Ismail Wahania said following the meeting that the sides agreed that there should be no Israeli presence at the Rafah crossing in Gaza.

Religious Sensitivity Gone Mad
RELIGIOUS SENSITIVITY GONE MAD – Did you hear the one about the Islamic preacher who…
Did you hear the one about a Catholic priest who…
No you probably didn't and even if you did it's unlikely you wouldn't repeat such jokes due to our increasing sensitivity to religion.
Michael Palin, one of the Monty Python stars, recently told reporters that it would be impossible today to even consider making Life of Brian for our religious sensitivities have increased to such a level that we almost dare not utter any words that some may find offensive.
The ever increasing issues of Islam are certainly a hot topic but one that is never truly addressed for fear of offending the Muslim community and the reprisals such may bring.
Most of us are fully aware that the book The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie not only caused offense with the Muslim community but also led to a number of death threats; indeed the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa calling for him to be killed in revenge for his novel The Satanic Verses.
There was also the case of a small Danish newspaper that published a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed which resulted in its offices being attacked.
Today we live in satirical world for whilst we continuously purport to be an open and democratic society that supports the freedom of speech and expression on one hand we also allow left-wing ideology to indoctrinate us in the quest to be 'politically correct' with the other.
Michael Palin actually admitted that whilst Monty Python has ridiculed everyone from the Establishment to Christianity there is one area of comedy far too taboo to make fun of; that being Islam and notably due to the number of armed fanatics.
It appears a very one sided affair; that is it's almost deemed acceptable and dare I venture righteous for Muslim clerics of the fanatical persuasion to ridicule, even murder, Christians but attempt to put the shoe on the other foot and you'll find yourself ostracised and even imprisoned for racial discrimination.
The truth is that most western countries are now so tightly wound up in their own satire of political correctness we have lost the ability to laugh and more importantly the ability laugh at ourselves.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I witnessed a Muslim laughing or indeed attempting to have a good time. Their lives appear forever shrouded in sobriety that prevents them from seeing the funny side of life and even enjoying it.
If you think this is perhaps a cynical view then visit a mosque and see how many smiling faces there are. In fact try a Muslim wedding and you'll generally find an unhappy bride and groom who have been forced into matrimony where the guests would look more at home attending a funeral rather than the joyous occasion of two lovers being joined in wedlock.
We Brits have always been little scallywags and we love nothing more than to poke fun at all and sundry and we have always been able to make fun of ourselves.
When I walk along the streets of the UK today I rarely see people smiling and almost never openly laughing. What happened to us? Why have we been so easily indoctrinated into the ideology that making a simple joke is so offensive?
There are a growing number of Islamic hate preachers that feel that Britain would be much better off if it was to adopt Islam and Sharia law.
The question here that is so often asked but always unanswered is this … if they find the British culture and religion so offensive then why remain; after all wouldn't an Islamic country be more attune to their beliefs and way of life?
The reality is, something that none will openly admit, is that Islamic states are highly oppressive and therefore they would be extremely unhappy living in such states.
On that note it appears somewhat radical that they would want to turn Britain into an Islamic state – or maybe they just like to live their lives being totally and utterly oppressed and therefore devoid of any happiness.
I personally long for the days when telling a joke, regardless of what the subject matter, was just about having a few moments of joviality rather than what is now seen as culturally, racially or religiously taboo.
For those of you who still have a sense of humour here's a few more classic scenes from Life of Brian.

Mr. Corridor
Welcome to Mr. Corridor's Classroom Website
Dear Families,
Get ready for some excitement in our classroom! I look forward to working, learning, and sharing with our students and their parents/guardians. Feel free to call me with any questions.
Royal Oak Middle School EI Program
Mr.Michael Corridor
|Dear Families,
This year we will build a support system within the classroom. The program that we envision will allow all students equal opportunities while having support throughout the day. I will contact each parent within the first two weeks of school, so we can work together to provide the best learning opportunities for your child.
In addition, each student will be placed on a goal card and be responsible for keeping points to earn daily and weekly privileges.
The following are some basic guidelines that we encourage each student to follow:
* ATTENDENCE - Please be in class everyday on time!
Absent students: it is your responsibility to ask
for missed work.
* SUPPLIES - Please bring the following to class daily:
1. Pen and Pencil
2. Paper or notebook
3. Completed homework
* HOMEWORK - Please have your homework ready at the beginning of the hour. The date, and first and
last name must be on all papers.
* GRADING - All assignments are given a percentage grade.
* RETESTS - Everyone is encouraged to retest for a better grade. Please make plans with me in advance.
* CLASS RESPONSIBILITIES (These will be posted in the classroom)
- Always be prepared.
- Respect others and school property.
- Be responsible for your own actions.
Every other week, I will hold individual conferences with each student. At this time, I will sit and review their progress and current personal behavioral goals with them. I will review their goal cards with them and discuss their progress. I will do my best to contact parents/guardians by phone and encourage parents to call as well. In addition, I would love to receive email and will respond rapidly. Our communication is very important and it is a group effort. Suggestions are welcomed and other reasonable options can be made available.
We have high, yet attainable, goals and expectations for all students. By working together I know we can create a partnership that spans beyond the walls of ROMS and create a crucial element in your child's success! I am very excited about this year. I look forward to hearing from you.
P.S. We are always here to help!!!

Pit Stop in Puerto Natales
A Patagonia Experience
On the drive up to Puerto Natales we got to see the "boring" side of Patagonia. Most of the eastern side of Patagonia is a flat to rolling steppe (pampa) that is quite dry and scrubby (the Andes act as a rain shield). Although today the light sprinkles that were falling in Punta Arenas continued as we travelled north. The land is principally used for raising sheep and cattle on large estancias (ranches). As we finally approached Puerto Natales again the hills returned. Seno Ultima Esperanza (Last Hope Sound) began to tease us with views and real mountains across the Sound began to flicker with the clouds on the horizon. Finally arriving in Puerto Natales, I got the first sense of my true arrival in the Patagonia that had enticed me over the years. Mountains and clouds and water and sun and snow danced around the horizon. The ever present wind always reminded you that the forces of nature were around even if you tried to close your eyes and experience some solitude.
A quick "lunch" in Puerto Natales around 4:00 PM was followed by a warm-up hike outside town. We started at a small homestead and worked our way up a large hill/small mountain. As we climbed, the getting to know your fellow travelers phase continued as people gravitated amongst each other finding common interests and activities through discussion. The "trail" as it was led continually upward and a gaucho rode up to open up some fences and allow us to continue on our way. Eventually (a 500m climb later) we came around to the exposed ledge near the summit of Cerro Dorotea. As one rounded this exposed corner a 30mph wind pushed one back away from ledge (thankfully in that direction), but it was still somewhat awkward manuevering on this exposed area. That said Dorotea provided some amazing views of Puerto Natales, Seno Ultima Esperanza, and the mountains surrounding this area.
After enough exposure on the face of Dorotea, we turned around to head back to Puerto Natales and "dinner". In true South American fashion we would be eating a late dinner as we would not finish our hike until shortly before 9:00 PM. It was still taking a good deal of getting used to the fact that 9:00 PM meant more than enough light to finish up the evening's and trip's first short trek.
At dinner we met some additional travellers who had spent a few extra days in Puerto Natales. After eating we were broken into the trekking groups which included the names I mentioned above along with Bill, Joann, and Ken and Norma. As well we would have Mauricio and Carola as guides to showcase areas of the park.
In summary for the Torres del Paine portion of the trip, I was travelling with Cascada Expediciones through the park. Cascada provided some logistics and some additional features of the trip that was truly intriguing. Our group was nine strong plus two Cascada guides, a pretty good number, and a very eclectic group with which to traverse the park. After some brief logistical updates such as the time we were leaving for Torres del Paine in the morning it was time to get some sleep. Being that dinner "started" around 9:30 this was quite late and we had the early start in the morning. So until the next entry...

Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark tangled in a web of hype, backlash and gossip
Mon Nov 29 2010
Hey, everybody! Did you hear that Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark (the show so overbudget it couldn't afford a colon in the title) already opened last night, after its very first public preview? No? Oh, then WHY IS EVERY BROADWAY MUCKRAKER AND RUBBERNECKER AND NEWSHOUND OFFERING THEIR TWO CENTS ON THE SHOW, WHICH HAS SIX MORE WEEKS OF PREVIEWS AND BY ALL ACCOUNTS IS NOT READY TO BE SEEN BY THE PUBLIC? Of course, you can turn around and ask producers why they are selling full-price seats to what amounts to a glorified workshop. Hard to find out who's the villain here and who's the hero.

Spiritual Transformation: General Principles
1. God dwells within each creature as the source of all of the levels of its being. God is
also transcendent to each creature, dwelling in a mode known only to God.
2. The human spiritual soul is the source of life for all the levels of the human being.
The body, emotions and mind are in the soul, and the soul informs their functioning
down to the most remote level.
3. Each level has its own domain of lawfulness and functions accordingly.
4. The energy of the soul is constantly working in all the levels to promote growth,
integration and wholeness (Jung's individuation).
4. Because of sin (non-love, conditional love), all of the levels of our human nature have
been wounded. These wounds and the defenses, attachments and addictions we develop
in response to them frustrate the soul's efforts unto individuation.
5. Human identity is, typically, out of touch with its spiritual and divine origins and centered,
instead, on self-concept, which people seek to promote and defend.
6. With the Incarnation, human nature becomes more intimately connected to God through
the person of Jesus Christ. Henceforth, the energies of the soul are imbued with the
Holy Spirit, which works to renew human nature in the image of Christ.
7. Human nature becomes transformed through implicit faith (love, moral living) or explicit
faith. Both are accompanied by the "shalom," or serenity of the Spirit.
8. Through explicit faith and deepening prayer, the energies of the divine become more active
in the soul and one's identity becomes more grounded in the True Self and Christic levels.
9. As the divine energy becomes more active, one's attachments and defenses are stripped
away so that inner wounds may be healed. This healing involves "walking through the valley
of darkness," a re-encountering of one's brokenness, but under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, who is the Divine Therapist. This journey is called the Dark Night of the Soul. It
is the true "way of the cross," or "cost of discipleship."
10. The journey through the Dark Night is not all misery and trepidation. There is the serenity
of the Spirit, and also growth in the spiritual level of one's being (intuitive intelligence,
awareness, inner freedom). Drastic changes in lifestyle may be called for as all of the
levels of one's being become transformed to manifest the life of the Spirit.
11. The Church is supposed to be a community of people who are on this journey together,
strengthening one another in faith, hope and love through prayer and worship, helping
one another to carry our crosses, extending the healing power of forgiveness and
reconciliation, and acting as a leaven to bring the entire world into the fullness of Christ.

This Antique Navajo Stamped Bracelet was made around 1950, it has old Navajo repose and stampwork. The frame is of a light to medium weight Silver that was hand cut and formed by a Navajo Silversmith, he filed it to get the final length and width desired to make this bracelet. He hand stamped a design onto the Silver that has three repose (domed) elongated diamond shapes with repose fluted domes and then outline with a line stamp and then border stamping.
John Hartman has pulled this Old Navajo Bracelet from his collection and will now let it go. John bought this pawn jewelry collection from Francis Griswold in 1982, he purchased the entire old pawn jewelry collection from the vault of Ft. Defiance. Francis had been in prison since approximately 1958, when he got out, he came to John's Trading Post in Durango, Co, Francis sold the largest known Indian pawn collection of that period to John - literally, thousands of pieces.
This old pawn Bracelet comes with a letter of authenticity signed by John Hartman of Durango Silver Co. We invite you to read more about the Fort Defiance collection and Francis Griswold by viewing our online presentation - The Ft Defiance Pawn Collection
