As described in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Strategic Research Plan, 2010-2014, the Department is committing to the use of the DSRC technologies for active safety for both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) applications. The Department is also reaffirming its intention to explore all wireless technologies for their applicability to safety, mobility, and environmental applications.
In 2008, the ITS Program framed the definition of connectivity to include both DSRC and non-DSRC technologies as a means of providing an open connected vehicle platform. Such a framework has multiple benefits:
- It will allow for the integration of a wider array of technologies and thus enable private industry to develop innovative technologies that may offer new or additional features.
- It will allow the connected vehicle architecture to adapt as technologies evolve over time, ensuring that the vehicle network incorporates innovative approaches and applications as they become available.
- It will ensure that benefits are not limited only to drivers of vehicles that are equipped with connected vehicle technologies.
The Department's commitment to DSRC highlights two critical points:
- That safety is the highest priority for the Department and will form the central focus for the connected vehicle technologies.
- That analysis illustrates that DSRC is the only available technology in the near-term that offers the latency, accuracy, and reliability needed for active safety (for further discussion, view DRSC Frequently Asked Questions.

A 21-year-old man was stabbed numerous times in the torso at Santa Rosa Plaza on Thursday in what police described as a fight between two acquaintances.
Police found the victim near the south escalators outside Sears after they converged on the mall at about 2:15 p.m.
The victim, who police did not identify, was conscious when he was taken to a Santa Rosa hospital to be treated. His condition was unknown late Thursday.
Police said the two men exchanged words as they passed one another in the mall. One man hit the other before the second man brought out a knife.
The stabbing victim identified his attacker, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Lisa Banayat said.
Police arrested 22-year-old Jeremy Hogan of Santa Rosa a short time later on First Street near the mall.
Hogan was booked into the Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

May 27, 2016
FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) -- Former Auburn coach Terry Bowden is hoping to finally get a championship.
Bowden was introduced Thursday as the head coach at Division II power North Alabama after a decade-long absence from coaching. He replaces Mark Hudspeth, who left to become an assistant at Mississippi State.
The longtime broadcaster and college football columnist said he got the desire to get back into coaching about two years ago. Bowden interviewed to replace Rich Rodriguez at his alma mater West Virginia last year.
Bowden takes over a program that made it to the Division II semifinals this past season.
Bowden won his first 20 games at Auburn after taking over for the 1993 season. The Tigers were on probation and not eligible for postseason play.

Clockwise from top left, Featured Speakers for 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival Ben Horowitz, Leslie Saxon, Joi Ito, Dmitry Grishin, Pete Cashmore, Kristina Halvorson, Jade Raymond and Andy Cohen.
On October 14, we announced the bulk of confirmed sessions for the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival. Almost all of these sessions came from proposals submitted by the online community via the SXSW PanelPicker. The selection process for these proposals mixes voting from the general online public, plus Advisory Board input as well as SXSW staff input.
The breadth and width of these 500+ sessions reflects the marketplace of amazing ideas that comes together in Austin each March. Specific trends and themes that will be particularly important for the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival include "Privacy and Security," "Global Impact and Policy," "Design and Development," "Art, Science and Inspiration" and "Intelligent Future." As in previous years, we continue to see lots of very strong interest in Startup Village programming so look for even more international participation in this space in March 2014.
The October 14 announcement is formatted alphabetically by theme, (and each theme is aligned with a specific venue). Within each venue, sessions are listed alphabetically by first word of the title. The name of the first speaker listed in the proposal is provided immediately after the title -- in many cases, the session includes more than one speaker (although for sake of brevity, only one speaker is listed in today's announcement). Click on the title to learn more information about the session and about the speakers via its entry page in the SXSW PanelPicker. Sessions marked with a double asterisk (**) are designated as Core Conversations. Being that meaningful, topic-focused discussions with smart digital creatives are at the heart of the SXSW Interactive experience, this format is always very popular with attendees.
Want even more content? Stay tuned to the main SXSW page for programming announcements for SXSW Film (Tuesday, October 15), SXSWedu (Tuesday, October 15) and SXSW Music (Wednesday, October 16).
A much smaller batch of accepted content for SXSW Interactive will be released on Tuesday, November 12. Click here to see the full SXSW Interactive timeline between now and March.
Also, watch the SXSW Interactive website for announcements on keynote speakers. Each day of SXSW Interactive features one keynote speaker -- so there are five total keynote speakers for the 2014 event.
Remember that you need an Interactive, Gold or Platinum badge to attend the sessions listed on this page. Purchase your badge before prices increase at 11:59 pm CST on Friday, October 18 to save $400 off the walkup price.
Finally, if you entered a speaking proposal and your proposal is part of today's list, then congrats! With more than 3000 proposals in this year's SXSW PanelPicker, the selection process was extremely extremely competitive. If you entered a speaking proposal and it is not part of today's announcement, then please watch your inbox.

Low, a band known for their sparse melodies, beautifully haunting harmonies and genre-defining "slowcore" aesthetic, have recently been making noise in their latest live shows with a cover of Rihanna ballad "Stay." Today, they've released a studio quality version of the track and it's just as emotionally gripping as the original. The simple piano-backed cover […]
Buzz for HAIM couldn't be bigger now that their debut LP Days Are Gone is less than a month away. The L.A. sister trio's first single off the album, "The Wire," is a solid 70s-style classic rocker with amazing triple harmonies and an intense drum beat (à la The Eagle's "Heartache Tonight") produced with a modern indie […]
Starting with an entrancing guitar intro not unlike The xx, the beautifully haunting, powerful vocals of lead songstress Sophie-Rose Harper professes of a lonely loveless night, forsaken but still unable to forget.
The track is a collaboration with Swedish indie pop sensation Lykke Li and is pretty much the antithesis of the oft-declared "summer jam." The production is dark; the mood is chilling; and Lykke Li's echoing, wispy vocals behind the eerie downtempo back beat are appropriately Lynchian.

ISABELLE Aboaf possesses a repertory and a reputation that would satisfy violinists twice her age. But this 15-year-old has no room for flashy egos or arrogance. Music is sufficient unto itself.
"A lot of people say to me, 'You're the only violinist I know who's 15 and can play all these things,'" says the rising sophomore at Grandview. "I'm here to tell you that I am not the only one.
"When you are looking for opportunities to perform, you realize how many other kids love exactly what you love, and are willing to work as hard if not harder.
"Egos bug me, so I don't have a big one," Isabelle laughs inside Temple Sinai's empty chapel. "I don't know. Maybe it's because my family doesn't support that kind of attitude, which is a good thing.
"I don't feel the need to please anybody. I feel like the music speaks for itself, and I don't have to speak for it."
Music aficionados, friends and fans can hear Isabelle seemingly effortless rendering of Pablo de Sarasate's demanding "Zigeunerweisen" on YouTube.
Isabelle, whose last name is pronounced ab-waf, also performs the violin solo in "Kol Nidre" at Sinai, her synagogue.
On that night of nights, hushed solemnity accompanies her to the music stand. Isabelle raises her bow as a thousand congregants anticipate that first plaintiff note.
Does her heart flutter a bit?
"I'll be honest," she says. "It's not a very difficult piece to play. But it is very beautiful. And I don't feel any pressure. No one's going to critique me or rat on me: 'Oh, she missed that note!'
"I guess there's always a slight nervousness lurking somewhere, but Sinai feels like a large family. And if you're in your zone, there's nothing to worry about."
Isabelle glimpsed her first violin during one of her father's concerts. She was just a babe in arms. "Maybe the violin was the only instrument I could see from where I was sitting," she posits.
At age four, she began studying the Suzuki method with teacher Kathleen Spring. The Suzuki method, also called the mother-tongue approach, is modeled upon a child's facility with language acquisition.
"Why the violin? It's hard to remember what I was feeling when I was four," Isabelle says. "It has this really beautiful tone, if you learn to play it correctly. And it was a very pretty instrument."
Isabelle never felt that she was gifted. Whatever success she's attained — which is considerable by anyone's standards — stems from disciplined training.
"Some things come easier to certain people," she says. "Take all these really famous violinists who make their debut at age eight. I'm never going to be one of those people, but it doesn't bother me.
"I don't think I'm special. It's a combination of lots of hard work and playing for a really long time. With time comes experience."
She's quick to list artistic forms that exceed her grasp: photography, the piano ("too uncoordinated"), dancing ("I am so not a dancer!").
The violin alone speaks to and through her.
"What do I feel when I'm playing the violin? Really fortunate to have the luxury of owning an instrument, which a lot of kids don't have; being able to study this instrument; and to make this really gorgeous music.
"It's one thing to listen to music, but you develop such a deeper connection to music when you play it. It makes me unbelievably happy."
A sheepish grin crosses her lips.
"Sounds corny, doesn't it?"
A BEAUTIFUL teen with long dark hair, deep hazel eyes and flawless skin, Isabelle discounts physical attributes. She's content being herself: an ordinary person who happens to excel at the violin.
She structures her practice sessions — anywhere from a half hour to two hours a day — around school. "Homework comes first," she says. "And when AP tests roll around, there's a little less practicing. It depends."
A vegetarian, Isabelle loves cooking and baking. "I read cookbooks," she confesses.
"I enjoy hiking and biking, things like that — and shopping with friends.
"Yes, I am normal," she emphasizes. "I will confirm that."
Isabelle proudly belongs the Denver Young Artists Orchestra's senior division. "It's a professional orchestra that plays music that the Colorado Symphony can perform.
"It's an incredible experience to be a part of that — to play with such capable kids. It's really not unusual to find kids my age performing at that level, because they are at that level.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one. Then I'd feel lonely."
To describe her family as musical is an understatement.
"My grandmother has "a profound love of opera, which I don't share. But she loves it."
Her mother Jennifer plays the flute, her father Alan is a trombonist with the Aurora Symphony, and brother Aaron has picked up the trumpet in earnest.
Isabelle's dad is Sephardic. His parents hail from a French colony in Egypt. Jennifer is Ashkenazi. "My maternal great-grandmother was born in Russia."
Asked if she prefers Ashkenazi to Sephardic or visa versa, Isabelle hesitates.
Jennifer cocks an ear from her seat in the temple foyer, awaiting her daughter's response.
"I think I connect more with the Sephardic," she says. "It's the more exotic side of my family. Maybe I just like to think of myself that way."
Jennifer turns around in the foyer, somewhat surprised.
"I'm not saying I have anything against my Ashkenazi roots at all," Isabelle qualifies. "Mom always says I got my brains from her and my looks from my father."
Amused glances travel between mother and daughter.
The conversation will no doubt continue on the ride home to Centennial.
FOR her Bat Mitzvah project, Isabelle performed a benefit concert for Innovation Africa, a charity bringing new technology to Africa. It was a natural coalescence of passion, Judaism and mitzvah.
Two other concerts followed for BuildCreateKenya, which enables arts education in Kenya, and a fourth benefit is on the books.
"This is good for me as a person and as a musician," she says. "I get to review all the pieces I've learned that year and share them with everyone at a single event.
"One day I want to travel to Africa and join the service efforts going on there."
Music offers a release, not just for poverty-stricken bodies but souls in need of sustenance.
"I realize that funding for the arts has declined at schools throughout America," she says. "Fortunately, my high school has major performing arts patrons. But the cuts are unfortunate. Performing arts is its own sport, and has brought culture to so many people.
"The kids I raise money for in Africa have no funding for the arts. There are terrible nutritional problems in Africa that must be addressed. But these children also need creative outlets to help them through the hard times."
If Isabelle wants to relieve stress and elevate her own spirits, she enjoys a good fiddle tune. "I love fiddling, although I'm not very good at it. There's one called 'Fiddle Faddle' by Leroy Anderson. I also love Aaron Copland's Hoe Down from 'Rodeo.'"
While the classics find their purest voice in her slim fingers, Isabelle also likes piano ballads, country western and certain popular tunes.
"But I'll never be into rap or electronic music or things like that," she grimaces. "I'm not a hard rock person, either."
American mythologist Joseph Campbell described a peak experience as hitting your stride with absolute, unshakable confidence. You can do no wrong.
Similarly, artists can reach a transcendent cloud that wraps them inside a cocoon of unerring perfection and grace.
Has Isabelle felt this bliss?
"It happens on rare occasions," she says. "Because I memorize every note I learn, memory mistakes are the biggest errors I make.
Every now and then, though, I kind of surprise myself — especially if I'm not expecting a very good performance.
"Sometimes it just happens, and I get this really good feeling inside. It's hard to explain."
On the YouTube video of "Zigeunerweisen," her eyes widen slightly as she completes a particularly arduous passage. It's very subtle, but the joy is obvious.
ISABELLE'S repertoire includes violin solos from "Schindler's List," Jules Massenet's haunting "Meditations from Thais," Chopin's "Nocturne No. 20 for Violin and Piano," J.S. Bach's "Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major," and numerous other works.
Ultimately she wants to join an adult orchestra. To reach her goal, she must begin tackling major concertos, a time-consuming and laborious task.
"If you want to be any good at it, you have to play them for a long time. That's my next endeavor."
Anyone who is serious about the violin or piano or singing as a child entertains visions of success.
Some have what it takes. Others show promise. Many surrender their dreams because they lack confidence or accept a teacher's negative assessment.
How would Isabelle counsel a teen trapped at the crossroads of doubt and desire?
"It's a waste of time trying to be like other people," she says firmly. "The most rewarding feeling is doing something for yourself.
"This is the opposite of striving to reach somebody else's goal, or being other than who you are.
"It's so degrading to pretend you're someone else."
Abandoning one's aspirations for whatever reason can carve a river of regret that spans past, present and future.
"You don't want to look back on your life and say, 'Look at all those times I doubted myself,'" Isabelle says. "Focus on the good things. It will happen, eventually.
"That's what keeps me going — knowing that what I want will happen one day, and when it does it will feel so wonderful."

7 Souls
by Barnabas Miller
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The best part was the twisty, puzzle piece plot and waiting to see if the authors were going to be able to put it all together. The first half of the book should really have been the first third though - it drags a little compared to the tense, action-packed second half; by the last third of the book I didn't want to put it down. While I came to sympathize with the characters, I certainly didn't like most of them. It's definitely refreshing to have read what appears to be a standalone title instead of the starter for a series. I'd say this is probably more for mystery than horror or paranormal fans. Overall, I'd call this a fine choice for recreational reading.
Barnabs Miller gives you hints in the beginning of the book to help you understand what comes next. This book is kind of creepy in a way that's cool. Until now I've never read a more mind twisting book in my life. The book is called "7 Souls" creepy!!! Later in the book you will find out why it's called "7 Souls".
When Marie Shayne thinks everyone loves her she was wrong. Waking up in a furniture store butt naked in a bed is weird, but here's the thing she doesn't know that her sister put her there for a reason. It was part of Ellen's evil plan to ruin her sister's life. The book is kind of like the twilight saga but in one book and without the wolves and vampires.
7 souls is a unique book in its own way. Just the whole content, twists and turns the story takes are incredible. This story's quality is elegant in way that only teenagers would understand. It proposes the teenage life and all the stress and problems that come across their minds. Ellen and Marie's mother never knew how much Ellen hated her sister, that she made a plan to destroy her life. Knowing this book so well has given me the opportunity to recommend an audience that's pointed out for this book and I would say twelve-years old and up. Reason I have pointed this book towards that audience is because there is some adult language and adult content. I'm giving this book a star rating, which will be five stars from me- Allison Haines
I was really enjoying this book, up until the fact that the copy I got from the library was missing the last thirty pages. I managed to piece together what happened through book previews, but the story had basically sorted itself out -- expect for the big reveal. 7 Souls was okay, nothing great, though the authors did take a big risk at the end, but it was kind of a let down at the same time. I doubt I'll be reading anything else by these authors.
First off, the cover is UGLY. I judge books by their covers all of the time. If I hadn't gone the extra mile to read the blurb, I would never have picked this book up. I'm also not a fan of the title. It's boring. It doesn't even make sense until the last fourth of the book. This is a contemporary supernatural teen, and it does not look like that from the cover. Which is sad since I liked the book.
I expected Mary to die pretty close to the beginning. She's going to be inhabiting 7 souls and I assumed she would relive the whole day through different people, like Before I Fall, sorta. But the whole first half is Mary living her day, she doesn't die until pg 179. And then she only sees snippets of the day through her seven visits to other bodies. So I got a little impatient for her to die since I expected it to happen so much sooner.
Also, I'm totally into plot, just set up the basic scene and I'm good. There was a lot of description of places and people that I just didn't care about, so I thought it lagged a little. More impatience.
Mary isn't a very sympathetic character. She's a selfish jerk. Which is the point of the plot. And even though she isn't a great person, I still felt rather badly for her. Especially when she ends up dead at the end of her birthday.
But, the overall plot is awesome. I really liked the twists and turns. Reading through the day through Mary's eyes the first time I had assumptions and ideas of what was going on, and sometimes I was right and other times I was completely off base. I liked seeing the day through her friend's eyes and the memories that came a long with the habitation. It was a ride. It was a fun ride that I enjoyed a lot.
The ending confused me, but not in a way that distracted from my liking. I actually liked it better than Before I Fall, though this is a great read alike for Before I Fall, too. Same concept, different execution. (haha, get it?)
I'm not going to give you a detailed synopsis because if you do decide to read this, it's probably best that you go in as blind as possible.
Mary's 17th birthday is today. It's not going well--her mom forgot, so did her friends and her boyfriend broke up with her. And then it gets worse. A LOT worse.
This is one of those books where there are a lot of twists and turns--some I called ridiculously early and some I didn't. I gave it three stars because I didn't really like Mary, so it was hard to feel any sort of sympathy for her. But it was an enjoyable read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385736738, Hardcover)Mary expected her seventeenth birthday to be a blowout to remember, courtesy of her best friends, fellow New York City prepsters Amy and Joon, and her doting boyfriend, Trick.
Instead, the day starts badly and gets worse. After waking up in a mortifying place with a massive, unexplainable hangover, Mary soon discovers that nobody at school is even aware that it's her birthday. As evening approaches, paranoia sets in. Mary just can't shake the feeling that someone is out to get her—and, as it turns out, she's right. Before the night is over, she's been killed in cold blood.
But murder is just the beginning of Mary's ordeal. Her soul gets trapped in a strange limbo, and she must relive the day of her death through the eyes of seven people—each of whom, she finds, had plenty of reasons to hate her. As Mary explores the mysteries of her world, discovering secrets that were hidden in plain sight while she was alive, she clings desperately to the hope that she can solve her own murder, change the past, and—just maybe—save her own life.
With its blend of suspense, horror, fantasy, and realism, 7 Souls is an adrenaline rush of a thriller.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
1. Can the husband and wife buy business property* jointly under TBE protection, of the wifes failing Incorporated business with money they received from their joint tax return refund?
A: Yes, however, if this is being done pre-petition, the Bankruptcy Trustee may seek to avoid the transfer as a preferential transfer if this is done within one year of the bankruptcy filing (Sec. 547) or as a fraudulent transfer if this is done within two years of the bankruptcy filing.
Fraudulent transfer is Sec. 548
Such a transaction would be heavily scrutinized by the Bankruptcy Trustee (which doesn't mean you can't necessarily do it), but it must be done correctly so it cannot be avoided after your wife files for bankruptcy.
Also, is it safest to keep the joint tax refund/overpayment in the marital joint account of the husband and wife, or should it be moved into the husband's name only?
A: Joint account
Fritz,hat's the difference
So the bank with the UCC's on all of the equipment will be paid off in full?
Fritz, Your allowed to turn non-exempt property into exempt property correct? As long as it's purchased at fair market value and the money goes to pay off the secured lender of the purchased property correct? We plan to use Ebay (sold completed sale values) and a licensed appraiser in the state of PA for fair market value. Is there some law as to how we can spend the money in the joint account? Thanks!
Possibly, if it's done correctly and with enough lead time prior to filing the bankruptcy.
To be safe, you should do what you're contemplating (i.e. purchase business property with joint funds) at least two years and one day before the wife files for bankruptcy.
Make sure you didn't co-sign or execute any personal guarantees as to your wife's individual debts.
Also, keep in mind that creditors could still attach judgment liens to TBE property. Post-bankruptcy, these creditors would not be able to foreclose or replevy the property, but they would be the first in line to be paid should the property ever be sold.
What if property is sold and the money stays in the possession of theTBE? Can a lien be placed on our home or vehicles titled in TBE
The proceeds of the sale would go to satisfy whatever joint creditors held the judgment lien before any money would come back to you.
Here's a quick blog link from "QC Attorney" that explains this succinctly: http://qcattorney.blogspot.com/2011/11/tenancy-by-entirety.html
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.
I'm a bit unsure of your last post, not saying it is incorrect, just unsure after reading another law site here in PA. "Fritz : The proceeds of the sale would go to satisfy whatever joint creditors held the judgment lien before any money would come back to you "
I was under the impression property of the TBE in PA can't be encumbered and money can't be taken from the sale of a home when only one person has debt. I was reading this (link below) after I read your link. Still confused, honestly sill unsure about the TBE being encumbered or lien added for the debts of only one person. Would like a follow up. Gladly pay though.
After reviewing caselaw on the issue, I believe you are correct in that "property of the TBE in PA can't be encumbered and money can't be taken from the sale of a home when only one person has debt," although there are some limits to the protection provided by TBE. TBE will not provide protection if the bankruptcy filer has tax debts, or if both spouses are liable for a debt (i.e. a joint credit card or joint business debt).
See, e.g. State Farm Mut. Automobile Ins. Co. v. LINCOW, Dist. Court, ED Pennsylvania 2009 (finding Eagles Season Tickets exempt from execution as entireties property), here: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=2732141048868111193&q=2007+Pa.+Super+348+&hl=en&as_sdt=2,10
See also Plastipak Packaging, Inc. v. DePasquale, 2007 PA Super 348 - Pa: Superior Court 2007 (the case holding that "Courts in Pennsylvania view the proceeds of sale of property held as a tenancy by the entireties to be exempt from execution, even after deposited into the bank account titled only in the name of the debtor spouse," which the article you found above surprisingly failed to cite), here: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=16420633875323172845&hl=en&as_sdt=2,10

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pledged to end Nepal's crippling blackouts and offered to buy electricity from the country, scotching reports that India was attempting to monopolise water resources of this Himalayan nation.
"Nepal can free India of its darkness with its electricity," said Modi, who today became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the neighbouring nation in 17 years.
"We don't want it free. We want to buy power. We don't even want to take your water...India wants to walk shoulder to shoulder with you. You take the decisions. By just selling power, you can become a developed nation," Modi said.
"I want to double the amount of electricity India is providing Nepal today so we have to lay the transmission lines as soon as possible," the Prime Minister said.
The two sides have also agreed to take decision regarding Nepal India Power Trading Agreement within the next 45 days.
Days ahead of Modi's visit, the Nepalese media had raised questions regarding the draft of a hydropower cooperation proposed by India. The reports alleged that the draft is against Nepal's national interest as it would seek to monopolise Nepal's abundant water resources by India.
This forced the Indian officials here to say that the country does not intend to monopolise Nepal's water resources and is ready to review the proposed draft of hydropower cooperation with it to accommodate any suggestions for mutual benefit.
"This is just a preliminary draft and we are ready to accommodate any suggestion from the Nepalese side before moving forward in hydropower through consensus," Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Ranjit Rae said late last month.
"We don't have any ill intentions to monopolise Nepal's water resources. These are a part of our efforts to enhance bilateral cooperation in hydropower," Rae had said.
The two countries can settle the disputed issues through a dialogue, he said.
"The proposal is not our final version," Rae said, adding, India is ready to review the draft after discussions with Nepal.

The treatment of aneurysms has tried the ingenuity and skill of surgeons from the earliest of recorded medical experience. In the third century, Antyllus1 recommended ligation of the proximal and distal artery, followed by opening and evacuation of the sac. In 1786, John Hunter1 advised proximal ligation well above the diseased portion of the artery to prevent erosion of the wall and hemorrhage, an operation which he performed successfully on many occasions.
After the monumental discoveries of Lister, treatment of these lesions was greatly enhanced, and the way prepared for the more definitive aneurysmorrhaphy techniques described in 1889 by Matas.2 Although Carrel * wrote little on the subject of aneurysm itself, he described accurate methods for blood vessel anastomosis, demonstrated the feasibility of arterial grafting by the employment of fresh and preserved vessels and so made possible the excision of aneurysms and their replacement by preserved grafts.

The iPhone is Canada's Most Searched Tech Device of 2011
"iPhone 5" was the most-searched consumer electronic device in Canada in 2011, according to Bing. (If you don't know what Bing is, Google it.)
Apple dominated the search category: "iPad" ranked 3rd, while "iPhone 4S" ranked 6th and "MacBook Pro" ranked 10th. Two other brands got more than one search term in the top 10. Microsoft's "Xbox and Kinect" scored number 2 and "Windows Phone 7" scored number 8. Ranked 4th was "PS3" while "PlayStation" came in at 7th. Completing the top 10 were "Wii" (5th) and "3D TV" (9th). No Android or RIM devices made the list.
Bing also tracked other categories. The most-search celebrity event of 2011 in Canada was the Royal wedding, followed by Kim Kardashian's wedding. Also in the top 10 were the Toronto International Film Festival, Amy Winehouse's death, and Victoria Beckham's pregnancy.
Royalty wore the crown in another search category, too—Top News Stories. "William and Kate's Royal Wedding" beat out "Japan earthquake and tsunami," "Osama Bin Laden death," and "Hurricane Irene" to claim 1st.
The Most Searched People was a somewhat interesting category because Canadians searched for Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears the most—while the U.S. searched the most for Justin Bieber, who is Canadian. Our homegrown pop sensation barely made the list in Canada, sneaking it at number 9, just ahead of Kanye West.
