Ackroyd & Harvey
2001, 2006, 2011, 2012
Website: www.ackroydandharvey.com
Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey (b. 1959/1959 England) have been collaborating since 1990 exploring the themes of growth, transformation and decay through a variety of media including sculpture, photography, architecture and landscape design. Their work juxtaposes nature and structure, control and randomness to reveal a time-based practice with an intrinsic bias towards process and event. Over the last few years Ackroyd & Harvey have made a series of expeditions to the High Arctic with the Cape Farewell project, looking at the effects of global warming on the ecosystem.
Ackroyd & Harvey are acclaimed for their experimentation with the light sensitivity of seedling grass and its ability to record complex photographic images. Their early work with grass brought them to work with scientists at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research in Wales. Their collective research lead to remarkable results for both the artists and the scientific community. The artists have also used grass to create monumental works such as FlyTower (2007), whereby they grew the entire north and west face of the of London's National Theatre landmark building with seedling grass.
Ackroyd & Harvey have exhibited widely including at Mostra SESC Des Artes, Sao Paulo, Miraikan Museum, Japan, Liverpool Art Biennale, Natural History Museum London, Sculpture Quadrennial, Riga, Chicago Public Art Program, and the V&A Museum London. They been recipients of numerous awards including two RSA Art For Architecture awards, Wellcome Sci-Art, NESTA Pioneering Award and the L'Oreal Art & Science of Colour Grand Prize. They live and work in Surrey, England.
Many hours of Ackroyd & Harvey's March 2001 residency were spent studying the collection, documenting, and finding source material in preparation for their exhibition in October. They extensively photographed the galleries and researched the early manuscript and textiles collection. Among the objects that drew the artists' attention were the Crawford Bookcase in the Blue Room, containing photographs and correspondence by Marion Crawford, William James, Thomas Russell Sullivan, Henry James, as well as the collected manuscripts of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant and a plaster cast of William Greenleaf Whittier's hand. Other works that the artists incorporated into the show were two Spanish iron clad doors from the 12th century, an excerpted text taken from Dante Alighieri's Canto IV, Comedia del Divino Poeta Fiorentino Dante (1481), in the Long Gallery, a terracotta Bust of Saint John the Baptist ca. 1480 from the Dutch Room, and the Bust of a Woman, a late 19th century sculpture from the Gothic Room.
For the month of October, Ackroyd & Harvey turned the Special Exhibition Gallery into their studio and darkroom. They built, seeded, and exposed, nine canvases which grew with the help of daily care and watering. Their process was recorded by filmmaker Mark Lipman and made into a short film. In addition, a CD-Rom called Presence: The Ephemeral in Focus was created in collaboration with Isabel Mierelles and Fenya Su from the Dynamic Media Institute at Massachusetts College of Art. This contained Lipman's footage of the germination process, interviews, excerpts from the artists' work with scientists, and examples of Ackroyd and Harvey's previous works. The museum was awarded Honorable Mention by the American Association of Museums for this CD-Rom in 2004.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Presence, the artists spoke about their fascinating work with photosynthesis and genetic research to create sustainable grass photographs. The desire to arrest the ephemeral grass image had brought them together with scientists at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER), whose pioneering research led to the development of a "stay-green" grass. Their five-year collaboration produced highly effective results and is a prime example of how art and science work together. The artists were joined by curator Pieranna Cavalchini, British scientists Professor Howard Thomas and Dr. Helen Ougham from IGER (via conference call), and Carole Kismaric, co-curator of Paradise Now, a 2000 exhibition on contemporary artists exploring genetics.
While preparing for their exhibition, Ackroyd & Harvey worked with a class of fifth graders from the Farragut School. The students learned how to make their own art by using the process of photosynthesis. During a series of visits in both the museum and the classroom, the artists described their technique of fixing photographic images in growing grass. The students then made stencils based on drawings they had made of objects and architectural elements in the Gothic Room. Next, the artists assisted them in growing their own grass images using the stencils made at the museum. A week after the images were planted, they were green and ready for exhibition in the school hallway.
In 2006, Dan Harvey was invited to talk about their trip and project in the Arctic in conjunction with Henrik Håkansson's exhibition. He also lead a crystal growing activity during Neighborhood Nights. Five years later, Harvey returned for two weeks to re-grow Script, a work from their 2001 exhibition. The piece was installed January 2012 in Points of View, an inaugural exhibition celebrating the opening of the museum's new wing and the twentieth anniversary of the museum's Artist-in-Residence program. Ackroyd returned shortly afterwards to work with 6th Grade students from the Tobin School and participate in a symposium on Climate Change at Boston Latin School.
Their 4 minute video, Out of the Blue (2012), was featured Magic Moments: The Screen and The Eye- 9 Artists 9 Projections. The work meditates on the of the power of silence when the sky was momentarily stilled by the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland.

Dear Ven Budhu of Project Runway…you are what's wrong with the fashion industry. In your rude, unthoughtful, and abrasive words, you have proven in last night's episode that you are not fashion designer material.
When faced with designing for an average-sized American woman, who deserved a lot more than what you gave her, you used words like "I'm in shock" and "very dissapointed." Those should have been the words poor Terri used when she found out you were her designer.
According to you "wide waist and hip lines" are "definitely challenging." Stating that you couldn't work on her figure, that she had no sense of style, and her before picture was a nightmare proved to me that you have no insight as to how to address a woman respectfully.
How do you think you can design for women, if you can't even appreciate the natural shape of a woman's body?
Then when Tim Gunn asked you what size Terri was, you gasped "Oh my God…a 14." Did you or have you even realized that one of the world's best designers (and your judge) Michael Kors also designs plus size clothing? Or that the plus size industry was worth $17 billion is sales last year, according to ABC News?
And then to berate Terri right in front of her face stating that you were "surprised" at how beautiful she looked after she got her hair makeover. Constantly reminding her that nothing fit her and how she looked before she was honored with your presence, apparently God's gift to fashion.
I really hope you take time to reach out and apologize to Terri, after you treated her the way you did. Not because you feel like you have to, but because she is a human being that deserves to be treated with respect. Maybe you can even take a few tips from your fellow contestants like Gunnar who said that it was "extremely important to design for the average woman" and was actually excited about it. Duhhh…those are the women who will more likely waste money on your clothes.
Unlike a lot of people who have written about your behavior, I'm not going to sit here and make any comments about your physical appearance. That would be lowering myself to your level.
I seriously thought a long time before writing this, not wanting to give you the time of day on my blog. But, I do know that if you ever decide to take your career seriously, you need to know the face of one of the many women you've pissed off. Not that you'll care…or make anything for me to wear anyways.
Truly disappointed,
Monique Frausto

The FN Dish – Movin' On Upby Bob Tuschman in View All Posts, October 23rd, 2008
I'm not saying my colleagues are jealous that I get more mail than the USPS from this blog. But, they are taking notice. I've started receiving anonymous "stop hogging the blog!" interoffice memos. At Food Network — whether in our offices, kitchens or studios — there is always something going on, and apparently other folks want in on the act.
The good news is that their passion is in sync with your requests for more behind-the-scenes posts, more often. I could ignore my love of programming to join the ranks of bloggers like Perez Hilton (or Jacob from Food Network Addict), but I like my day job too much. Hence, it only makes sense to share the wealth.
My blog is joining forces with the The FN Dish. We're expanding that web series to include a bigger, more frequent behind-the-scenes blog. You'll still be able to watch Bruce Seidel's weekly web show and get great access to my other colleagues as well. Think more Food Network scoop from more contributors. I'll still post as well which reminds me — have you tried the Neapolitan Pork recipe yet? Did it work out?
Check out our newly-expanded FN Dish right here.

Father William Corby
William E. Corby was born in Detroit on October 2, 1833, and attended Notre Dame, entering the novitiate in 1856 and taking his final vows in 1859.
When the war came in 1861 Notre Dame sent a number of priests to serve as chaplains with Union regiments. Father Corby left his professorship to become the first of these, assigned to the 88th New York in Brigadier General Thomas Meagher's legendary Irish Brigade.
Although Father Corby accompanied his men on many battlefields, giving comfort to the wounded and absolution to the dying, perhaps his greatest moment came at Gettysburg. Little more than 500 men remained of the original 3,000 veterans of the brigade, but they were to be sent to the rescue of the crumbling Union flank in a vicious maelstrom that would become known to history as The Wheatfield.
Father Corby donned his stole and mounted a large rock as the men of the brigade knelt, Catholic and Protestant alike. He offered absolution to the brigade, reminding them of their duties, warning them not to waver and to uphold the flag. Their attack bought precious time for the Union defenses but cost them dearly, with over one third of the brigade becoming casualties in a few moments.
After the war Father Corby became President of Notre Dame from 1866-72, then after a five year term at Sacred Heart College in Wisconsin returned to Notre Dame as President from 1877-82. He later became Provincial General and then Assistant General of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, as well as serving in several other posts.
In 1893 his veterans nominated Corby for the Medal of Honor, noting that "no spot was too dangerous or too much exposed to the fire of the enemy." Although he never received the medal, the veterans of the brigade presented him with a chalice that he would always cherish.
Father Corby's Memoirs of Chaplain Life: 3 Years in the Irish Brigade with the Army of the Potomac was publishd in 1893. It is still in print (see ad above right) and has been described as "one of the best Civil War diaries."
Father Corby died in 1897. In an unusual ceremony for a priest of the Holy Cross, his flag-draped casket was borne by civil war comrades and a rifle volley was fired as it was lowered into his grave.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills
from where will my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 He who keeps Israel

Hi ladies,
My name is Tanya and I'm an 18 year old first year nursing and midwifery student studying at La Trobe University in Melbourne. As part of my four year double degree, I'm required to follow 20 women through their pregnancy. This would involve me attending some antenatal and postnatal appointments, and possibly the birth (if I'm lucky enough to be invited!). By volunteering in this program, you would be providing me with invaluable learning experiences, and I would also be an extra support person to you, as well as just having a familiar face around! My level of involvement in your pregnancy is completely up to you, and you can withdraw from the program at any time.
I'm based in the western suburbs of Melbourne but am willing to travel.
If you're less than 35 weeks pregnant and this sounds like something you or someone you know might be interested in, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for reading, and congratulations on your pregnancy!

The Ravens come off their first playoff win at Pittsburgh, so they will carry some extra confidence into the opening game of the divisional round. Joe Flacco has seven road playoff wins, the most by a quarterback since the 1970 merger.
Of course, he goes up against the top seed in the AFC, a perennial Super Bowl contender led by Tom Brady. One thing is certain: Brady and the Patriots won't be lacking in conviction, either.
"We're always trying to win the last game of the year," Brady said. "We set pretty high expectations and I think we all have high expectations, but you've got to go out there and earn it. It's not easy and this is a first step for us.
"A lot of teams played last week, we didn't get a chance to do that. This is a week where we can really try to make an impact on this season.

In keying information from the U.S. Military Registers 1862 - 1970 Part 2, I am uncertain what "Do." in the "Date of Rank" field. Can anyone provide assistance?

I've amassed an assortment of beef ribs over the past few weeks and am quickly running out of freezer space. The idea for today's post came from a cook I did a few years back, where I had cinnamon-sugar coated pineapple smoking on a rack directly above a brisket flat. The portion of brisket that got (accidentally) basted with the juices from the pineapple made for darn good eats. It was then I decided I needed to try something similar with beef ribs. I gathered the ingredients for the rib rub and marinade:
The dry ingredients were ground up for the rub, while the other ingredients were used for the marinade:
I gathered a pile of individually cut beef back and beef short ribs:
The ribs were placed in a food savor bag and vacuum sealed with the marinade for an overnight stint in the fridge:
The next day, the BGE was prepped and cherry and hickory wood chunks were used for smoke. The ribs were removed from the marinade and tossed onto the smoker:
Ribs on the BGE:
After about 4 hours, I made another small batch of the marinade for basting/braising the ribs:
I also mashed up the sweet potato, which had been cooking alongside the ribs, with butter, sour cream, and some of the rub:
The ribs and sweet potato were then placed back on the BGE. After a short while, dinner was ready:
The beef back ribs were excellent. Moist and juicy, decent amount of smoke, with the "island" flavors really permeating the meat. While the beef short ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful, they lacked marbling and seemed a little dry.
For dessert, I wanted something quick and easy - cherry-raspberry crumb pie. I started with some cherry and raspberry pie filling, which was placed on the smoker for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally:
The crumb topping was made with butter, brown sugar, and flour and a pie shell was parbaked for 10 minutes:
The temp on the BGE was cranked up to 350, the pie was assembled, and then placed into the BGE for an hour:
All done:
Time to dig in:
The pie wasn't very sturdy, and couldn't support the weight of the ice cream, so the pics aren't pretty. But that was one delicious pie - tasted like it had been cooked over a camp fire. And what's fruit pie for dessert without some vanilla ice cream. Just delicious. Just good eats.

Had to register just to thank you!
Tested on Ubuntu and works like charm. This really speeds up rogue access point attacks!
However I didn't manage to install the isc-dhcp-server on BackTrack. I think it's a Ubuntu only package and although BackTrack is based on it, I ran into some problems. apt-get couldn't (obviously) find it but I downloaded the .deb and noticed there are just too many missing or conflicting packages so it's not really an option. Tried editing the file to see if I can get it work with dhcp3-server and after a quick glance it seems to be working alright.
Any chances of adding some little support for dhcp3-server?

Club Passim first opened as a jazz venue in 1958 under the name Club 47. Shortly after it opened, the club was shut down by the Cambridge police due to local blue laws that prohibited more than three stringed instruments from being played in a place that served food and beverages. In order to return to making music, the venue obtained a non-profit educational charter and reopened as a private club, where patrons became members at the door.
It wasn't long before Club 47 became known for its good music, coffee, and company. Its reputation as an integral part of the Cambridge folk scene began when a friend of the then unknown 17-year-old Joan Baez rented the Club to give Baez a chance to get on stage. Baez quickly built a strong following and was featured regularly. It was at Club 47 that she introduced Bob Dylan, and he would play between acts.
Club 47 was also one of the first venues in a northern United States city to feature African American blues musicians from the South, hosting artists like Mississippi John Hurt and Jackie Washington. Staff and patrons gave African American musicians a place to stay when Cambridge hotels would not rent to them.
In 1968, the Cambridge police shut down the Club once again, but the performers rallied to keep the music going. Supporters soon realized that they had built a strong community around the Club, a community that remains to this day.
When the 1960s came to a close, so did the era of Club 47, but the space was reborn as Passim in 1969. The new owners, Bob and Rae Anne Donlin, worked to keep the venue true to its roots, and they were successful. Passim remained (and still remains) a small venue where the audience members get an intimate musical experience with the artists.
A Legendary Listening Room
For more than 50 years, Club Passim has presented both new and established performers to the Boston area, garnering national recognition. This historic music venue hosts over 400 shows per year for more than 30,000 listeners. In all of its incarnations, from the original Club 47 (1958-1968) to Passim (1969-1994), and finally Club Passim, the Club has been a special place for both artists and audience members. An intimate room that seats no more than 102 people, this space is the place where musicians like Joan Baez, Tom Rush, Peter Wolf, Patty Larkin, Regina Spektor, Josh Ritter, and Suzanne Vega started out before they began playing at larger venues.
Passim Today
Club Passim is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is to create an inspiring and interactive music experience for all. Passim strives to build a vibrant community for artists, students, and audience members through its legendary listening venue and School of Music.
In order to continue fulfilling this mission and remain financially sound, we need your support. Passim relies heavily on fundraising efforts through donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants. Above all, we rely on you. Your support and membership allow us to keep the music going.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 30-year-old Jacksonville man was sentenced Friday morning to 15 years in prison for his involvement in Operation Zig Zag.
Lorenzo Jackson pleaded guilty in January to two counts of criminal use of personal identification information. He was responsible for stealing dozens of identities and using the information in a tax fraud scheme.
Jackson was one of 17 people arrested in the seven-month long investigation. The operation's name was the result of an investigation that blossomed and crossed the country with victims from Florida to New York.
Jackson was responsible for selling stolen identities he obtained from another suspect in Operation Zig Zag. The stolen identities were used to open up credit cards, utility accounts, and the filing of fraudulent income tax returns in the victims' names.
The joint investigation by the state attorney's office, the U.S. Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office started in May when VyStar Credit Union contacted authorities after noticing irregular activity involving IRS refund checks.
After months of investigation, authorities were able to narrow down the number of stolen identities and how the personal information was stolen. The IRS has estimated 185 people had identities stolen, and more than $500,000 was cashed in fraudulent tax refund checks.

F*** PC IM GETTING A MAC. Maybe.
I'm considering doing something crazy.
My PC has either power pack troubles in which case I'll buy a new one and all will be okay, or, it's another crap AMD video card loosing it's shit and it's time to rejoin the lovely green Nvidia tribe via way of a sexy 670.
Or the coin could land on it's side.
I could splash out on a Mac.
A nice neat Mac with one of those lovely screens and what not.
It costs a lot you say? It's top of range shit I tell you.
Mac has no gaemz? Bootcamped instalation of windows I say.
Macs aren't reliable you say? Shit hot customer service they do, no waiting weeks for an RMA.
And besides all I'm playing at the minute is Diablo Triple (by playing in I mean staring at the login screen) and that runs on Mac OS whatever just fine. The OS seems a doozy when compared with windows too. Shit seems to work and it has a metric ton of productivity software the likes of which Microsoft would charge you an arm and a leg for...
So talk to me people.
Any Mac gamers out there in RPS land?
I'm not exactly seeing any downsides here bar cost.
Microsoft would charge an arm and a leg for productivity software, yes, but with a Mac, they already have :/ I don't see any reason for anyone to buy a Mac over a PC unless they plan on producing audio. Very little in the way of hardware is top of the line with a Mac.Itsbastiat, Dawngate

I have a mac laptop of some sort and I hate it so much. The OS is fine and all but the hardware is terrible and has broken so many times. Definelty go for an extended warranty and even then it doesnt cover the battery or powercord, both of which have failed on me twice now.
The customer service is pretty good but only if you are under warranty, after that you are just buying replacement parts that cost too much and come with an added labor charge.

Macs aren't "top of the range", you can build a PC with the exact same hardware (or better) for about half the price. You are literally paying through the nose for branding, that is all.
And the tech service is usually a hassle, atleast from personal experience.- Tom De Roeck.

Really, I can see why people would go linux for more freedom, or buy into a closed platform mobile phone, but a closed platform main system? Just daft. The main argument for someone buying a mac is "That what I'm used to", that's a strong argument, does that apply to you?I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

In all honesty I can understand the MAC hate, after all I personally think it's a tad expensive. However, its all up to you. I've got many friends that use macs for the audio side but they also just feel more comfortable with a mac than they do with windows and they all use boot camp with a pirated version of windows for when games don't have OSX support.
but If I'm honest I really just think you should just restart your PC completely. I.e. chuck out everything except the HDDs. Get a shiny new mobo, with the new Ivy bridge processors the 670 and a decent PSU with some top quality corsair DDR3 ram and you'll be away.Official RPS Thread argument catalyst.

As others have said hardware wise, it's not top of the range. Build quality tends to be above avarage to be fair, and the customer service is on the whole better. Gaming on Mac is also always growing, most indie games come out or end up offering mac support, all of Valve's games and quite a few other triple A's (I believe Ubisoft are pushing out Mac support more and more).
You will however be paying too much for the hardware you receive, build quality aside, and most of that is just for the mac brand.
Mac's are great for audio design, better than PC's for graphical stuff (except 3D and video editing, mostly due to power constraints if you're going for game related stuff) but for gaming, stick to PC, get an Nvidia card, get a Mac like PC for half the price or a mac priced PC for twice the power.Disclaimer: The above statement or statements are most likely completely incorrect, incoherent and a little insulting to boot. Please disregard immediately and contact the closest person or persons with the ability and will to restore your faith in humanity.

Hey, i own a macbook (sound designing et al.), bootcamping Windows, works like a charm. Windows still does bug more often than OSX, but less things to play on OSX. :)
I've got an '06 iMac for Logic mainly originally, now I have got lazy it plays plenty of games ok bootcamped and runs most MacOS natives perfectly well. The only place they fall short really is the GPU since they tend to stuff mobile ones in them for heat reasons (this is the worst thing!) Although mine plays Tribes:Ascend fine, Blacklight fine, haven't had the balls to try The Witcher 2 but I can imagine that would be a slide show, so I grabbed that on 360.
BUT they do have lovely monitors (if you are splurging my buddies 27 has a 2560x1440 which looks great, think this is partly why they cost so much.) I am a big fan of OSX now too, it's nice.
Also, so long as you get your ram from Crucial/somewhere else and not them when you come to upgrade or when you buy it if you upgrade it then. They are perfectly fine, but their increment costs are psychotic. Also, replacing the Hard Drive if it goes awry is really quite easy and I had to do that 3 months ago, but aside from the ram and HD you can't really replace anything else realistically.
Last edited by shaydeeadi; 20-05-2012 at 11:40 PM. Reason: Extra stuff
I have a 2006 Macbook Pro, and I have mixed feelings about it. I bought it because a guy at work sold it to me ridiculously cheap. I love the slimness of it, and the keyboard / trackpad are great. However, I have had hardware issues. I'm on my third battery, as they bulge out after about 2 years and no longer fit in the case. I'm on my second power adapter as the original frayed. I had to replace a temp sensor and i'm getting GPU glitches since. It gets absurdly hot. I get tiny electric shocks of it on one corner. The display panel is fading in two bars in the middle, giving an uneven picture.
That said, its been my main machine for about 4 years now, so it's had a lot of use. I can't say any other laptop would have stood up better.
Honestly, I can't wait to ditch my AMD card, but it hasn't impaired my thinking yet.
Mac customer service is better? Maybe.
Does it take longer to be fixed and cost more? Oh yes. With a Mac you can't just slap in a generic part, oh no no, you need the special 3x the price Apple approved part. Shipped from deepest Mongolia by a sherpa with a dodgy leg.
My parents have been using a dell daily for about 6 years and the only problem they've had was when they broke the space bar trying to clean under the keys. I've had a frickin' £200 netbook I've been using as my main machine for almost a year and the only problem I've had are a couple blue screens from a dodgy driver.

Only an idiot will get an Apple product.
I heard from someone that Apple customer service replaces faulty parts with new ones if the product's under warranty for free, rather than repair them, that true?

Thinking it through. Replacing a card with a 670 or learning a whole new operating system that is different enough that it will be quite frustrating for a while, not to mention the additional
what AMD card are you having problems with? I've used them exclusively for 6-7 years and had no issues.

I've considered taking that path because the iMac is one of the better all-in-one machines out there.
But I didn't. OSX is backwards, particularly the Finder. I'm not aware of any other modern OS that can't sort folders first without resorting to tricks or 3rd party software. By default the OS uses mouse acceleration (like an annoying console game), and last time I used OSX the only way to turn it off was via a cmd line hack (which wouldn't stick on reboot for some reason). Apple's support for hardware accelerated games is backwards. The Dock is friggin' ridiculous. That constant menu bar up the top is bullshit. What other OS lets you close every single window of an application yet still leave the application running? Answer: none that are any good or make any sense.
Sure, you can bootcamp them... but then you've paid for an incredibly expensive PC in a small case which pulls crap framerates because it relies on mobile hardware to keep heat down. Great, you've got a massive screen with a huge screen res. But you can't get even remotely playable framerates with a mobile GPU on most games, so it's pointless!
I don't like the irrational hatred Apple gets over the iPhone or iPad, which to be fair are very good devices, but OSX is a backwards abomination. The only redeeming features are the file system and the Unix kernel... none of which most of the Apple users will probably know or care about because Apple go to great lengths to hide them.

PERS Coalition Updates
UPDATE as of Sept. 27, 2013: Click here to read the PERS bills that the legislature is considering during the 2013 Special Session. Bennett, Harman, Morris & Kaplan LLC has provided an updated analysis on SB 822's challenge here.
On July 1, 2013, on behalf of the PERS Coalition and its members, Bennett, Hartman, Morris & Kaplan LLP filed a challenge to Senate Bill 822 electronically with the Oregon Supreme Court.
Specifically, the challenge alleges that members have a contract right and a property interest in their Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) and SB 656 (chapter 796, Oregon Laws 1991) tax remedy benefits. The changes to these rights made by Sections 1 and 3, 5 and 7, and 11-17 of Senate Bill 822 constitute:
• an impairment of contract under the Oregon and U.S. Constitutions,
• a taking of property without proper compensation, and
• a breach of contract.
A copy of the petition filed with the Oregon Supreme Court can be accessed through the Bennett, Hartman, Morris, and Kaplan here.
As additional important pleadings are filed in the case, links to the documents will be provided on this website.

New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
The Cattlemens Day on Friday, Feb. 14, at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Lab near Whitman will focus on the future. After the flash drought of 2012, then record beef prices in 2013, what will 2014 bring?
Remember the massive amount of annual sunflowers last summer? Volesky will also cover what weeds should be controlled on the range and which weeds are just a natural part of the drought cycle.
The markets continued to surprise everyone last year with record high cattle prices, declining grain and forage prices, and record wholesale and retail beef prices.
As drought conditions improved, herd liquidation began to stabilize. Kathleen Brooks, UNL Extension livestock marketing specialist, will provide market outlooks for 2014. Where are fresh meat prices, supply and exports, pasture conditions, corn prices, and calf prices expected to trend?
Many herds are beginning to rebuild as the drought lessens and pasture conditions improve. Brooks has tools available to calculate the cost of buying a heifer versus raising a heifer, as well as a whole herd calculator. She warns producers can expand too quickly, and this can actually set them back.
Bred heifers are bringing good prices at livestock barns across Nebraska. Cow-calf producers should consider what to do with weaned heifers. Rick Funston, UNL Extension beef reproductive specialist, will focus on economical heifer development systems.
Kelly Bruns, the new UNL West Central Research and Extension Center associate director, who has extensive experience in growth physiology, will be discussing current and future technologies available to the beef producer.
In the past, raising high quality beef may have been enough for cattlemen to stand behind their product. Now, with social media, many ranchers are entering this new age as advocates for the beef industry. A panel of producers will share their successes spreading the word about their roles in beef production.
There will also be an industry trade show. Contact Rick Funston at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 308.696.6703 for a booth (cost $50).
Please pre-register for the sponsored meal, by Friday, Feb. 7 to the Central Sandhills Extension Office (1-800-657-2113 or 308-645-2267) or Ellen at 308-696-6701.
The Gudmundsen Sandhills Lab is located 3 miles north of Whitman, then 5 miles east. The Wagonhammer Building is the building to the east.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. MT, with the program beginning at 9 a.m.

BREAKING: Santa's sleigh spotted
Santa's on his way.
He left the North Pole in his reindeer-powered sleigh early this morning to deliver gifts to the children of the world, officials at NORAD have confirmed.
NORAD radar is tracking Rudolph's bright red nose, and satellite imagery is providing minute-by-minute coverage of Santa's location as he makes his magical Christmas Eve journey, delivering gifts to the children of the world.
Santa Cams – high-tech, high-speed digital cameras pre-positioned through the world – are also capturing Santa's journey.
The results are being posted throughout the day on NORAD's Santa Tracker website, www.noradsanta.org, where you can also watch the number of gifts delivered add up in real time.
The page is being updated throughout the day, making it easy to find out where he's been and where's he's headed for next.
It's known from Santa Cam images that he uses a herd of flying reindeer for quick transportation, but detailed information remains elusive after all these years.
"The fact that Santa Claus is more than 16 centuries old, yet does not appear to age, is our biggest clue that he does not work within time as we know it," the Santa Tracker website says.
"His Christmas Eve trip may seem to take around 24 hours, but to Santa it may last days, weeks or even months in standard time," it says.
"Santa would not want to rush the important job of distributing presents to children and spreading Christmas happiness to everyone, so the only logical conclusion is that Santa functions within a different time-space continuum than the rest of us do."
The tradition of tracking Santa began in 1955, when children began calling CONAD, the predecessor to NORAD, hoping to speak with Santa Claus.
A misprint in a department store advertisement resulted in a big mix-up.
Children dialing Santa's telephone number were mistakenly put through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief's operations "Hotline" instead.
The original "Santa Tracker," the late Col. (retired) Harry Shoup of the U.S. Air Force, the director-in-chief at the time, had his staff check the radar for signs that Santa was making his way south from the North Pole, the site says.
"Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born."

Saving Voices
Compiled by Teresa Martin Klaiber
May 2011
Cassette tapes became the rage in the 1960's. In 1966 music cassettes were introduced to those of us "want to be" flower children, hippies and the world at large.
By 1969 I was working at the University of Kentucky Language Laboratory with what seemed to be miles of reel to reel, humidity controlled tapes playing to booths for students in many languages. Some of the reels were converted to cassettes for student use and one of my jobs was transcribing materials.
It became a habit for me to carry a tape recorder when possible when pursuing genealogical and historical data. Today it is imperative that those old tapes be transferred to new media just like we have moved our 8mm movies from VHS to DVD. Today I carry a digital recorder no bigger than the palm of my hand in my purse.
Because of tinkering with the "new" technology, this past Christmas I presented my daughter-in-law with a voice recording of her husband when he was 3 months old. Ok, no, he could not talk but I could listen to those coo's forever. Converted from cassette tape to a digital .wav file I can listen to my "baby" any time I sit here at the computer. Another treasure is a very short description by my mother [now with Alzheimers] describing my grandmother's heartbreak at the loss of her Baby Grand Piano in the 1937 flood in Portsmouth, Ohio.
One tape is the Klaiber family at the Klaiber farm, Long Branch Road, Big Garner, Boyd County, Kentucky the summer of 1978. The tape has deteriorated in several places but a large percentage has been salvaged and converted to .wav format for future generations.
The background sounds are as much a joy to this writer as is the history my in-laws were sharing. The background is full of giggles and laughs of my then seven, five and three year old sons. We had traveled from New Jersey back "home." For Kentucky is home no matter where we are. The boys were growing up in urban New Jersey and we did not want them to miss the experience and love we have of our family and Kentucky.
Today, I sit writing in a newer house, looking out at the old house where this tape was recorded and feeling the presence of those wonderful people who are laid to rest on this land that they loved. How wonderful to hear their voices yet again.
I have taken the liberty of transcribing, extracting and annotating entries for my readers that I think are a window into life in my part of Eastern Kentucky. My comments are in brackets.
With rattle snake rattles tucked in the hutch, yokes safely hung and protected and voices of long ago children giggling and making their own memories of their grandparents, the warmth of voices past envelopes me. Please join me again for Part 2 of Saving Voices in my next post. In future posts you will find out about leather britches, kraut and German lessons. Until then think about saving the voices in your life.John Henry Powell Sexton Klaiber: …If I was out there plowing and break a plow he [JH's father James Mathew Klaiber, a blacksmith] never said nothing about it, went to the shop and fixed it. For I've seen him break a few of them. See back then you had stumps in the field. The first thing you know, why, you'd hang your plow on that stump and before you could stop your team you would have it broke. I'd rather go right out there and work a team as a tractor in the field.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: Why? Does it do a better job?
John Henry Klaiber: Well you don't get as much done but you get the pleasure of following em. You can plow the ground with a team and you can see what you is turning over and walk along behind them there and more work. Course you can't get nothing done anymore. When you get out there and plow with a tractor all you see is the front of you; you don't see nothing your turning up. That's why they don't find, people farming, don't find any arrow heads or things like that anymore. Get up there on a tractor you not going to see them.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: You had a whole collection of arrow heads once didn't you?
John Henry Klaiber: I guess the last one found around here you [talking to son James David Klaiber] found it over there one day was in pretty good shape.
James David Klaiber: Where is it at now?
John Henry Klaiber: I don't know. I think you had it last time I seen it.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: I don't think Ian [John Ian Klaiber, grandson of John Henry Klaiber] has ever seen one. Daddy [John Geer Martin, DVM] used to come home with them when he would make a call once in awhile.
John Henry Klaiber [as family looks in hutch]. Rattle snake rattlers in there…
John Henry Klaiber: …Get up Bolts Fork… There at Bill Queen's. You went in there to Slick Rock School House. Down in the creek and on up the creek bed until you got up to where Elmer Bowling lived. I went along in the truck that way.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: Up the creek? …You mean they would follow the creek all the way up from the Mouth of Garner all the way in here before there was a road?
John Henry Klaiber: I guess so. That is what dad said when he came in here. I don't know if it was from the mouth of Garner or the mouth of Jack or what.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: But there was no road up here?
John Henry Klaiber: Well right up here in front of Mead's you went down in the creek there and over around that old Beech Tree. You know where that old Beech Tree is there. Come around the creek and out in front of Cline's [Stewart] house and up in the creek behind Bill Bradley's trailer, there, and on up and come out of the creek above Ray Tolliver's and then around the hill.
You know where the old house [Sexton] was over here at the Boys Farm, the one that is burnt down. You come around the hill there. Of course when you come off the main road you went down the bank and down into the creek and come around and up the creek a piece and come out in that bottom. You would come up to the old house and went straight down and across the bottom and back in the creek and from there on up the hollow… Earl's [Sexton] dad [William Vincent Sexton], his old wagon tires in dry weather would get loose from the rim. They'd take and put them in water and soak them up. He put his wagon wheels over there in the creek ... one day, and Carl Ross down here started to take the girls home one night in the buggy and went down there and his horse got tangled up. Carl told me about that about half a dozen times. Imagine a horse stepping in wagon wheels down there in the creek…
Terri, I guess I was in the sixth grade [about 1922] I walked off the hill here and worked for an old man all summer. Hoed corn, pitched hay. Well it wasn't exactly all summer but off and on. And he gave me fifty cents a day and I had to have a lantern to get over there and I had to have a lantern to get back. Dark when I went over and dark when I came back. When school started I told him I wouldn't be back. Said I'd go up to the house to be paid. Well we started up through the barn yard and he had a pair of yearling calves that he had broke to work. He said I'll give you them calves and square off with you. I said I'll have to have a yoke. He said I'll let you have the yoke to take them home with. And I said no, when the yoke goes over there it's not coming back. It's mine when I leave here with it. He said "I can't let you have my yoke." Why I said give me the money. I knew he wouldn't turn loose of the money. He gave me the calves and the yoke.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: Is that the yoke that is out in the shed?
John Henry Klaiber: uhah [no]. I don't know I brought them home.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: His daddy made that one in the shed.
John Henry Klaiber: Come home from school one day and dad gave me a fifty dollar bill. He had sold my calves. That is what I got for a summer's work.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: That's not bad.
Elsie Rucker Klaiber: Thought he was rich.
John Henry Klaiber: That fifty dollar bill looked like it was bigger than that wall. And then I never seen a fifty dollar bill again til I was working at the store. I delivered a bunch of stuff over here to Millard Prichard. Well he was the one that bought my calves. Millard was. And he came out there and paid me for the order. He gave me a fifty dollar bill. He said "Here I am going to give you another one." [JH chuckling.]…I've never seen one since that one. See you didn't see big money then and pretty much of any kind. But this old man over there he wouldn't spend a dime. He kept every dime he got ahold of. He had a big ole yarn sock and had it half full of dimes…If anything was ten cents he would give them two nickels or a quarter. He wouldn't spend a dime. He kept them dimes.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: Well the yoke out in the barn, your daddy made that Elsie said? Will it rot out there?
John Henry Klaiber: No. It really ought to have been painted. It's still over there. Ain't got no bow.
Teresa Martin Klaiber: What do you mean it ought to be painted? Treated some way so it won't rot?
John Henry Klaiber: Well keep it some better. But it is sun cracked. It's made out of small timber.

Topic: Effects of compazine
Hey everyone,
I was reading about something and a bell went off in my head. The other day my daughter, Lauren was saying she felt shaky and in a daze. I kept trying to think of why she might feel like that. I think I figured it out. She takes compazine after her chemo for a few days to keep her from feeling sick. Once she starts to feel better she takes them only as needed, which is not that often. I looked up compazine on the internet and it says you should never take it and then just stop. You need to gradually stop. So I guess when she is feeling better, she should take one every eight hours and then every 12 hours. I would like your opinions on this. I don't want her to take it if she doesn't need it. I think she was in withdrawal, but it could have been the effects of the chemo. Geez, you need to be a detective.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Engines — By
Patrick Sciacca — January 2001
Heavy Duty
|General Motors' new Vortec 8100 V-8 is a combination of tradition, power, and technology. And it may well power your next boat.
The name General Motors is as ubiquitous in America as the term dot-com. It's everywhere: in your car, on television, and around the water cooler. If it has to do with personal transportation, GM probably plays a part in it.
But while people perceive GM as an automotive giant, it also enjoys a long history in the marine-engine field. Back in 1958 the company offered a 283-cubic-inch, 185-hp Chevy V-8 that was used by Owens/Flagship, Chris-Craft, and Crusader. This was the engine that started General Motors in the marine market, and the company has been a leader ever since. After more than 30 years of experience designing, building, and applying engines for boats, GM Powertrain, the division that sells automotive engines to nonautomotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), broke new ground when it introduced electronic fuel injection to its marine engines in 1991. For 2001 the division expands on its history of technological innovation and high quality with a new heavy-duty gasoline V-8 called the Vortec 8100. This is the basic engine that companies like Crusader, MerCruiser, and Volvo Penta will adapt for application in the boats you'll see in dealer showrooms this year. The 8100 comes in two versions, both using GM's latest electronic control module (ECM) technology.
The 8100 was borne out of GM Powertrain's earlier 7400, the familiar and ubiquitous 7.4-liter V-8. The 8100, which displaces 8.1 liters, shares the same bore as the 7400: 4.25 inches. A longer stroke, 4.37 inches compared to 4.00 inches, gives it the added displacement. This is an unusual strategy in high-performance engines, where increasing bore is the preferred method, but GM chose it because a longer stroke typically translates into more torque and better durability.
The base Vortec 8100 V-8 engine offers a maximum of 375 hp at the rated 4600 rpm. According to GM you'll get maximum torque, which is 490 lbs-ft, at 3200 rpm, a popular cruising speed. The high-performance version offers a maximum 420 hp at the rated 5000 rpm, and maximum torque is said to be 505 lbs-ft at 4000 rpm.

Is Your Control Valve an Imposter?
Beware the Disguised Positioner
When I was leaving home for the first time, my dad said, "Be as honest as the day is long, and don't be fooled into using on-off valves as control valves." I was puzzled since I was only going to summer camp. Years later I realized that my Dad was warning me about the greatest hoax of the century in the automation business. Positioners were put on piping valves and sold as throttling valves. Who wouldn't want a lower-priced valve that was in the piping spec and had the name "High Performance" because of an exceptionally low leakage classification? The valve could serve as both a throttling valve and isolation valve. What a deal!
Users did not realize the flow characteristic was sometimes quick-opening and in many cases, too flat for large openings. Even more insidious was that the backlash and stiction was more than an order of magnitude larger than valves originally designed for throttling service. Adding insult to injury, poor precision pistons (e.g., link arm, rack and pinion, and scotch yoke) and less expensive positioners (e.g., spool instead of relay type) were used that deteriorated the resolution by a factor of five or more. The result was a dramatic increase in nonlinearity, dead time, response time, dead band and stick-slip.
Users were clueless as to the source of the limit cycles and increased process variability. Pneumatic positioners offered no position readback. Even more deceptive was the fact that many installations of smart positioners had actuator shaft rather than internal closure member position feedback. The actuator shaft would move even though the closure member did not. Diagnostics and response test metrics from the positioner said things were not too bad. The smart positioner was basically lying.
Nearly all control loops in the chemical industry depend upon the manipulation of flow by the use of a final element such as a control valve. It's generally taken for granted that, when a controller changes its output, there's an actual change in the position of the closure member of the valve (plug, ball or disk). However, the specification of control valves doesn't adequately emphasize the very basic requirement that the positioner respond in a timely manner or even at all, and this has resulted in shortcomings that introduce variability into the process.
Before the advent of smart HART and fieldbus positioners, feedback measurements of position were rare because a separate position transmitter had to be installed and wired. The user generally wasn't aware that differences in valve, actuator and pneumatic positioner design were the source of cycling in the process.
Typically, besides traditional factors such as size and materials of construction, control valve specifications have focused on minimizing leakage through the valve at shutoff and emissions to the environment from packing. Too often, to reduce project costs, plants pick on/off valves to address requirements. This can create performance problems that can't be fixed simply by adding a smart positioner. While installing a smart positioner is always beneficial, an incorrect feedback mechanism in the valve design can give a false indication of performance.
To avoid problems, always consider five basic valve requirements—linearity, dead time, response time, resolution and dead band. They can give crucial guidance and justification for a final element that leads to better control. Rangeability and sensitivity also are important, but, as we'll see, properly meeting the other requirements will address them.
Linear in a Nonlinear World
To get on a common basis, we need to define process gain for a self-regulating process as the final percent change in the controlled variable divided by the percent change in valve position. Note that the calibration span of the transmitter for the controlled variable is a factor. Because the changes seen in data historians for process variables are in engineering units, they must be converted to percent of scale. The maximum allowable controller gain is inversely proportional to the process gain. The process gain for flow is the slope on a plot of percent flow versus percent valve position (travel).
The plot should reflect the installed flow characteristic, not the inherent trim characteristic. This accounts for the reduced pressure drop available to the control valve at higher flows, because of the increase in pressure drop in the rest of the system from frictional losses and a decrease in pump discharge pressure. The changing valve drop makes an equal-percentage trim more like a linear characteristic, and a linear trim more like a quick-opening characteristic. The effect increases as the valve pressure drop as a percent of the total system pressure drop is decreased.

Trinidad & Tobago put in a clinical performance against Jamaica in the final to win their second consecutive Caribbean T20 title, and once again qualify for the lucrative Champions League T20. Dwayne Bravo played a sensible innings to take T&T towards a decent total; Kieron Pollard, in one 26-run over, changed that from a decent total to a strong one; and then the miserly T&T spinners, along with Ravi Rampaul, choked Jamaica to make sure the victory was by a thumping margin.
Dwayne Bravo's innings was a crucial one, as it held together an innings that showed signs of falling apart. Lendl Simmons and Darren Bravo had both been dismissed by the seventh over: Simmons was beaten in the flight by legspinner Odean Brown and edged to the keeper, and Darren Bravo also edged, while poking at an Andre Russell delivery.
Dwayne Bravo showed immediate intent by pulling Russell for four in the ninth over, but lost both Adrian Barath and Denesh Ramdin at the other end in quick succession. Barath was stumped, trying to loft Brown over long-off, and Ramdin, who replaced Daren Ganga as captain before the tournament, was bowled by a Brown flipper.
At that stage, T&T were 65 for 4 in 11.1 overs and in trouble. Dwayne Bravo reacted by lofting Brown for six and then hitting another six off Nikita Miller two overs later. He mixed caution and aggression, rotating the strike in between the big shots and was helped by the fact that Sunil Narine, at the other end, was scoring at a quick rate. Narine rushed to 22 off 15 balls, hitting two sixes, both heaves to the leg side off David Bernard's medium pace.
Pollard, who was later named Man of the Series, was initially happy to play second fiddle to Dwayne Bravo. He was dropped in the 18th over, by Marlon Samuels off Krishmar Santokie. It was the second catch Jamaica had dropped - Shawn Findlay put down a sitter to let Dwayne Bravo off the hook when he was on just 20 - and they would regret them both. Santokie, who should have had Pollard's wicket, was subjected to a mauling by him in the final over of the innings. The second ball was driven for four past cover, and the next three were bludgeoned for sixes: one over long-on, one over long-off and one to midwicket. By the end of it, Santokie, the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, had gone for 42 from his four overs.

MBFW: Backstage at Herve Leger With Makeup Artist Val Garland + More
Get an exclusive backstage look at Herve Leger's Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week collection with makeup by Val Garland!
-Shante Booker
After ten minutes of sliding through slush and being hooted at by construction workers, I finally made it backstage to the Mara Hoffman show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week… Or so I thought. Long story short, there was a mix-up at check in and I was granted backstage access to the Herve Leger show, a show I was originally only going to be watching. But hey, an exclusive look backstage with one of the hottest designers around? No complaints here!

Once backstage, I witnessed hair being pulled and teased and outrageously gorgeous faces getting lightly brushed with makeup by Sephora pros. Lead makeup artist Val Garland kindly took a few moments to dish on her inspiration for the show's makeup. Have a look!
Don't you just love the way she flicks her hair? More backstage pics below!


text: On June 18, a group of city and business leaders including Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny and Councilmembers Kevin Hartke, Jack Sellers and Jeff Weninger gathered in a freshly-graded dirt field to officially break ground on the $25 million Ocotillo Village Health Club & Spa. Joining the Mayor & Councilmembers at the groundbreaking ceremony were prominent Valley businessmen, Bennett Dorrance and Mark Sklar, co-founders of the DMB real estate development company, parent company of the Village Health Clubs & Spas. Scheduled for completion in spring 2015 and led by Sundt Construction, the 82KSF Ocotillo Village is expected to create 250 construction jobs and eventually create more than 220 full and part-time positions. The Ocotillo Village will also be the first East Valley location for this private, member-based health club, joining the three existing locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Smart Screens---high tech "touch" computer information in Operating RoomsJuly 01 2011
Those awesome "smart screens" that national TV weather people or CNN political reporters use to make one of several pictures/images large while using just their fingertips to reduce another and push it to the bottom of the huge screen---are serving a higher purpose as valuable tools in hospital operating rooms!
The smartest of today's "smart screens" has arrived at a Lincoln hospital and you may benefit from the incredibly sharp images and multiple types of information your surgeon can access. He or she can view several images at the same time; look closer at any one image; or switch easily between image views. The new operating room viewing screens used today at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center are so smart---they rival Einstein.
Until now "high tech" operating rooms in the US offered flat screen monitors—not high definition screens; they could only show ONE image or video or patient test results, at a time; and they allow access to a limited number of images and test results. In fact, Nancy Gondringer, director of surgical services, explains that oftentimes during a surgery a nurse had to leave the sterile environment or the entire OR to find a hard copy of a test or cat scan for the surgeon to use as a reference.
Now---unprecedented, multiple, crisp, sharply detailed, digital images can be viewed side-by-side, each enlarged or made smaller as needed by the surgeon, during the actual procedure. They will be on the screen right alongside the real-time video or images of the actual procedure taking place.At their fingertips
These days physicians have available a lot of valuable information and images about their patients on-hand and they need an abundance of it available when they perform even routine procedures. At Saint Elizabeth, with their smart monitors, it is now possible to have that information literally at their fingertips.
This "smart monitor" system is web-based so it is more universal and can pull up images and information from various software programs even by different manufacturers. Additional equipment will allow physicians to call up images from places outside the medical center including from their office where the patient's electronic medical record is stored or even from another healthcare provider's office. This system can "grow" with us as we add new programs and capabilities right away and well into the future.
This is also a money-saving feature, Gondringer explains. In the past if Saint Elizabeth purchased one manufacturer's equipment we would have to continue buying equipment from them to be sure it was all compatible or worked well together. The universal system removes that problem completely.
Brain Surgery
Dr Eric Pierson, neurosurgeon, explains that he and his surgical team need to see a variety of information on the screen during surgery. "We typically need 2-4 images from before the surgery, information from the patient's electronic medical record, the patient's current vital signs, and we need to see the video of the current procedure through the microscope or endoscope so the team knows what to anticipate next."
Dr Pierson gives another example of something he can't wait to have available in the OR: being able to view in the OR the thin slice from the brain taken from the patient being operated upon which was sent to the pathology lab. This will be a fantastic time-saver when compared with previously having to leave the OR; go down an elevator; walk to the pathology lab; then go back up the elevator to the OR; scrub in again; and continue the surgery. And up-the-road he anticipates being able to communicate with the pathologist while they both look at the same image from their separate locations.
Better Decisions
For patient and their families, having this larger amount of valuable information so accessible and in wonderfully sharp definition helps their surgeon make the best medical decisions possible for their patient. While in the operating room the surgeon can just click-and-drag any information or image they need and use their finger tips to make it larger or smaller. They can see what they need to see, when they need to see it.
Dr Michael Rapp, chief of surgery at Saint Elizabeth, says this technology opens new possibilities that he's excited to explore. For example, the possibilities include real-time communication between two physicians for live consultations or between a surgeon and lab tech on a test sample they just evaluated. Each physician will explore how this newer technology will work best for them. Surgeons will be doing just that for a number of months.
Computer technology in the OR
Dr Rapp embraces technology. His office was one of the first in the area to use electronic medical records. He did foresee and want to be a part of this level of technological advancement which brings the technology of the computer into the operating room.
Operating room schedulers and other staff recognize how this extraordinary equipment helps surgeons, but in some ways it also makes their jobs a bit easier. Gondringer explains that they can see into each OR in real-time from the scheduling desk so if a surgeon is running behind they can move an upcoming surgery into another OR without having to call into the OR and bother the surgical team. Operating room personnel can also view from outside the OR if the surgery is at the point where they are needed.
The smart screen monitors were placed in the operating rooms a few months ago and training for surgeons started immediately.

I've got a pygame application (read game) I'm working on that involves building some custom gui. I've got a main.py for constructing the menu screen and a menu.py for the menu and button classes.
in the main.py I implement the specific forms of the menu and button classes that will be in the menu, then the run loop in the menu class actually manages my pygame screen.
the buttons are designed to pass a function or other piece of python code to them as part of the arguments in their __init__()
Right now I'm able to pass basic functions via string between the main and any buttons I create from the main. (so my Quit Game button works just fine!)
The problem I'm running into is in trying to pass a command for one button to initiate another entirely new menu screen (a submenu) the command passed is the menu.run() method of my menu class
since both menus (main and submenu) were constructed in the menu file, the code being executed from the button class (which resides in a separate .py) doesn't know that the submenu class object even exists.
I tried to fix this by importing the main into the button class, but then I get some kind of recursion error right at startup where the first use of a button class in main breaks down because the two files import one another.
If this is too vague I'll see what I can do to put up some pseudocode or actual snippet later.
I'm thinking the solution might be to somehow make a custom instance of the class in my main so that the execution of the command passed to the button class is done from within the main (where both menu objects reside) instead of the menu module where the generic classes reside.
Any assistance is appreciated. I apologize for wretched language but my programming jargon is worse than my actual programming ability (self-taught)

Allstate Sugar Bowl Announces Manning Award Watch List

The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, announced its preseason Watch List on Thursday. This year's list of quarterbacks was selected in conjunction with the release of ESPN's new Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) - the top 30 returning quarterbacks according to the QBR make up the Watch List. The winner will still be selected by a voting panel, which includes national media and each of the Mannings, after the bowls.
