Academy Award, Tony and Emmy winner Al Pacino will make his only Florida appearance May 31 at Ruth Eckerd Hall, the venue announced Monday.
Al Pacino: One Night Only was originally scheduled for Nov. 19 but postponed when the actor took a Broadway gig in The Merchant of Venice. Tickets purchased for that date will be honored, and remaining tickets go on sale April 29 at noon.
Al Pacino: One Night Only is divided into three acts, starting with clips from Pacino's storied roles in such classics as The Godfather trilogy, Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon, followed by an on-stage interview. Pacino will discuss his career with Times film critic Steve Persall, who will moderate questions from the audience in the second act.
In the third act, Pacino will present readings from some of his favorite stage roles and poets; previous appearances in Dallas and New York included passages from David Mamet's American Buffalo, The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and e.e. cummings.
Dallas Morning News film critic Chris Vognar wrote about the show: "Once (Pacino) took the stage … the evening became something far rarer and more rewarding … here we saw Pacino, the dedicated stage actor, show his gift for making each listener feel like an audience of one."
Tickets are $99 and $150, available at the box office, 1111 McMullen-Booth Road in Clearwater, or online at www.rutheckerdhall.com. Call (727) 791-7400 for information and orders by telephone.

Irving city officials had just tossed the dirt aside in golden shovels with red bows when a settling feeling sank in for south Irving resident Richard Monroe.
A feeling he's anticipated for years.
Monroe has been a loyal Irving library patron since 1959, when the city had a one-room library. He experienced the city's first library upgrade in 1986, when Irving opened the Central Library next to City Hall.
In May 2014, he will once again experience the evolution of Irving's library system when the new $9.7 million South Irving Library opens within walking distance of his home near Centennial Park at 601 Schulze Drive.
Monroe and his wife, Jan Jones, attended the Feb. 15 groundbreaking for the new library along with city officials and state Rep. Linda Harper-Brown.
"We've been to all the public input meetings the city has held for the design and planning of the South Irving Library," Monroe said. "We're excited that this library will be very modern, energy-efficient and meet the needs of the community."
Serving the community
Meeting the needs of the community is the goal behind the city's master plan, devised in 2006, to build four full-service libraries, which would put a library within four miles of every resident.
"The library function has really changed in the last 20 years," said Casey Tate, Irving Capital Improvements Program director. "A lot more programming has been added, and libraries need a lot more space to accommodate the newer activities."
Because of the lack of space in Irving's storefront branches — all closed except the East Branch — the Irving Library Board and City Council created a plan to build stand-alone regional libraries that average about 25,000 square feet.
The South Irving Library, the third of the four to be built, will be the largest at 52,570 square feet.
The final library in the plan is the East Library, but no funding or a site is in place, Tate said.
The city is looking at land near the University of Dallas around State Highways 183 and 114.
"We're moving from one large central library with storefront branches to spacious, high-tech libraries," Tate said.
Irving's new library system comes as most municipal public libraries are struggling to stay open and provide adequate staffing because of budget cuts from the Legislature, said Cesar Garza, spokesman for Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
In 2011, the Legislature cut the commission's state funds 65 percent, he said.
"It had the trickle-down effect, and we cut state library programs by 88 percent," Garza said.
Grand Prairie library director Kathy Ritterhouse said the budget cuts were hard on her three-library system.
"We cut back on materials, closed Fridays and lost staff in 2010 and 2011," Ritterhouse said. "We started interior renovations at the Main Library, but we stopped when the cuts happened. It didn't seem appropriate to spend money on that when we were struggling."
But the loss of funds has had little effect on Irving.
Despite the cuts, Irving has spent more than $20 million on the building of three libraries in the past seven years.
Valley Ranch Library in far north Irving opened in 2007, the West Irving Library opened in 2010 and South Irving will open in 2014.
"When other cities are closing down facilities, we're opening up new ones," City Manager Tommy Gonzalez told guests at the groundbreaking. "We're committed to opening new facilities and not cutting services."
Funding for the library system comes from bond sales, decided by voters, in the city's Capital Improvements Program.
Accommodating change
Irving library director Chris Dobson realizes the need to be adaptable to rapid advancements in technology, which is why she's excited about the new library's high-tech offerings, such as geothermal wells. The wells use greenhouse gases trapped in the Earth rather than fossil fuels to control the indoor temperature.
"We wanted to have flexibility with our space in order to be able to accommodate to the changes we'll see in the next 15 years," Dobson said.
When the Central Library opened in 1986, it didn't have computers. Today, cords run along the floors to provide power to laptops and patrons' electronic devices.
The South Irving Library will have a surplus of outlets and electricity at every table, Dobson said.
Although she has seen and navigated the drastic changes in library service, Dobson said last year's survey found that checking out books is still the library's No. 1 service, followed by children's programs and use of computers.
"Print is going away very slowly, and one of the trends in libraries and what we've been known for is our programming," Dobson said. "At the new library, we'll have adequate space for all age levels."
The new space also will have a place for artwork to be displayed in the lobby as well as an iCreate Lab, where teens can make movies and music. It's funded by a $4,000 grant from Best Buy.
"It's a really nice facility and investment in the future," Dobson said.
Hope for development
Filling space in Irving's Heritage Crossing District has been slow and taxing on south Irving residents, but Mayor Beth Van Duyne is hoping a new library will help spur progress in the area.
"It sets the stage for further positive developments for south Irving," Van Duyne told the crowd at the groundbreaking. "It will be the largest library in the city and our crown jewel."
In response to neighborsgo's Sounding Off query recently, Irving resident Sharon Baugh said she supports the city's master library plan, but doubts there will be more development in the area.
"I doubt, however, that a library could spur redevelopment in any area, much less the city's seemingly ill-conceived and expensive ideas to date of redevelopment in the Heritage Crossing District," Baugh wrote in an email.
In addition to ongoing concerns about development in the area, Monroe and Jones want to know what will become of the Central Library in May.
Dobson said the collections will move to the South Library, and library administration on the third floor and the archives on the first floor will remain.
Tate can't provide a definite answer, but said plans are leaning toward a Heritage museum to fill the building; recommendations for the space will be presented in 30 to 45 days.
But despite the unanswered questions, Monroe and Jones are excited about the new library coming to their neighborhood.
"The library board and architects did an excellent job of incorporating residents' needs into the plan," Monroe said. "We use the library a lot so we're very happy."

Seeing green
The two latest library buildings, West and South, will be LEED-certified buildings. Both are designs of Dallas-based architects Tony Blaas and Bill Hidell of Hidell and Associates.
LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized green building program and another one of Irving's master plans.
"In 2007, we adopted an executive order that all new buildings we build in the city would be LEED-certified," said Casey Tate, Irving Capital Improvements director.
The West Irving Library, built in 2010, recently received Gold LEED-certification — a four-year process, Tate said. The library's solar panels and geothermal wells have placed an estimated credit of $16,029 in energy back on the grid in 2011, Tate said.
The South Irving Library is expected to be Silver LEED-certified.
South Irving environmental friendly amenities include geothermal wells that will control indoor heating and transitional glass that will tint when the sunlight hits is to help cool the building and prevent use of shades.

text: I started my Ayurveda regimen 5 months ago. My biggest concern was that the powders would darken my hair. I didn't want this because I loved my natural hair color. It has always been this reddish brown color ever since I was a little girl. It darkens in the fall/winter and lightens back up in the spring/summer. When I first began my regimen I was doing it 2 to 3 times a week, but then cut back out of laziness. I never saw my hair darken and was like great. A couple of weeks ago someone asked me in another post if hibiscus changed my hair a wine color. I was like "No". I've never seen my hair change color. Well last night I did my regimen. I made my tea rinse of (1 tsp: Shikikai, Brahmi, Fenugreek, Maka, 2 tps: Hibiscus and Amla). I left my mix on for the usual amount of time 30 mins to an hour. Then rinsed, applied my leave ins, and seal. I paid attention this time and low and behold I did notice that my hair had a winish tint to it. It is very subtle. I wouldn't have noticed at all if it hadn't it been brought to my attention. I can really see it when I am in the sun light. I love it. After may attempts with my crappy phone this was the best pic I could get to show the winish tint to my hair. I personally love it. For those that don't want the color change then you may not want to use hibiscus or not leave in on your hair for long periods of time. ETA: I think believe that the color would have been brighter had I used the hibiscus powder alone. Mixing the hibiscus powder with the other powders most likely helped to make it more subtle and balance it out.

As short as the two letter word "No" is, it can sometimes be so heavy to spit out of our mouth. However, if you keep saying "Yes" when in fact your heart is saying "No", it wouldn't be long before people start taking you for a ride. You basically become a doormat for others to walk on. This type of behavior is not good for your self-esteem.
I know that sometimes it can be very difficult to say "No" , believe me…I've been there! Unfortunately, leaving it unsaid can come at your own expense. Not only does it rob you of your self –esteem but you also lose time to do the things you really want (or need) to do and you can even feel resentful towards the other person and yourself.
Telling others that you can't acquiesce to their request doesn't have to be difficult. We're all on a journey of life, each one on their path walking, living or pursuing our purpose. Most are on this journey without a clear destination as they have not identified their purpose…but they're walking! Saying "Yes when you really want to say "No" is like allowing others to dictate your path for you when you know fully well they're wrong.
If you struggle with the concept, here are some ideas you can put to use immediately.
1. Other Commitment
Explain that your other commitments are taking up all your time right now. Everyone is too busy at times; the other person will understand that you have a heavy load of other responsibilities. It might help to go into a little detail about the other things you have going on; it will increase their level of understanding.
2. In The Middle of Something
Say that you're in the middle of something and that you'll get back to them. It's not uncommon to get hit with requests for immediate help. You can let them know that you can't help right now but that you might be able to help soon. If it really is urgent, they'll find someone else and shouldn't feel resentful towards you.
3. Think About It.
Tell them that you'll think about it. This is more of a "maybe" than an absolute "no." Avoid using this option if you really do want to say "no." Take the time you need to consider it and remember to get back to them. You can suggest your own deadline or an alternative that works for better for you if you can't comply fully with their first request.
4. Does Not Meet Your Need.
If someone is trying to sell something to you, tell them that their offering doesn't meet your needs but you'll get back to them if your needs change. This puts an end to the matter quickly without the other person feeling insulted. After all, you're rejecting their product or service; you're not rejecting them personally.
5. Suggest Someone Else
Tell them that so-and-so would be a better help. In this case, you're not refusing to help them. In fact, you are helping them by suggesting someone more capable of satisfying their needs.
6. Would Like To Help, But…
Tell them that you'd like to help, but…. This lets the other party know that you would like their offer or would like to provide assistance to them, but you are either too busy or their offer doesn't meet your needs. It's similar to #1 and #4, but is more supportive and encouraging.
If you'll learn to say "no" to the things that you really don't want to do, don't have the time to do, or don't fit your needs, your life will be much richer for it.
Like many other things in life, it gets easier with practice. After you get used to it, you'll be surprised how easy it is and how receptive others can be.
Remember to only tell the truth. One of the options above is bound to be true. There's no reason to feel like you're being dishonest. Now go tell some people "no" and see how much better you feel!

A few years ago, I went to Detroit to see a concert at Joe Louis Arena. Leaving a restaurant near the arena, an employee stopped me as I headed out the door. "Sir, we'd feel more comfortable if you took a cab," he said, even though the arena was maybe a four or five minute walk away. "It's just not safe to walk from here to there, even in daylight. It's worth the four buck ride." Then, pathetically, he tried to put a positive spin on things: "Things are actually a lot safer downtown now."
Safer, and emptier. The latest U.S. census data is in, and it is grim: Detroit has
over the last 10 years. It's now down to 713,777. Ten years ago, when the population of Detroit stood at a comparatively healthy 950,000, it had already lost half of its population, which stood at two million after the industrial boom during the Second World War. That was considered cause for alarm. Today, Detroit would rank as smaller than the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, and barely larger than Hamilton, Winnipeg or Quebec City. In 1950, it was fifth in America, behind only New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles — all, it must be pointed out, cities that have remained large and thriving while Detroit has withered away, doomed by its poisonous race relations and the declining power of the American auto industry.
Indeed, Detroit is now so small that it is in danger of losing out on tax revenue available under Michigan law to large cities. One of the once-great industrial powers of America apparently is no longer large enough to warrant
. State legislators have said they're willing to revise the law to allow Detroit to continue, but what's the point? People are leaving for a reason. Surely slightly higher income taxes isn't going to convince anyone to stay.
The situation is even worse than the numbers suggest. It is not uncommon for major cities, even historically influential ones, to have surprisingly small populations, which are made up for by having powerful, vibrant urban cores surrounded by dense suburbs that do not technically count towards the city's total. Successful cities have at least as many people wrapped tightly around them than living within, for example. There's a built-up core fading out very gradually into suburbs. When you cross out of Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal into one of the suburbs, you barely notice the difference.
Not so in Detroit. Detroit does indeed have the large, affluent suburbs that have come to typify the North American city, but they surround what is essentially an urban black hole. Detroit has a tiny, clean (and depressingly beautiful) downtown, but walk a few hundred yards in any direction and you can find yourself in a total wasteland, something out of a post-apocalyptic movie. It's even worse when you drive across the border and into the suburbs. Detroit passes by outside your car window like a bombed out war zone. Blink and you'll miss it, before arriving in the much nicer suburbs. Check out
of Detroit's once-grand buildings. Number 8 is particularly sad. It's a grand theatre converted into a parking lot. And even that lot is barely full.
What to do about Detroit is an open question. Some claim that cleaning up its political culture is the way forward. Some developers have bought up abandoned houses (the missing million or so people had to live somewhere, once upon a time) and have begun converting the land to
, putting a strip of farms between the clean downtown core and affluent suburbs. Others have essentially advocated
At the rate it's going, there might not be much left to abandon. It's bad that Detroit dropped 25% in a decade. It's worse that no one seems to have any idea how low it will go, or when it will stop.

BUDAPEST (Aug. 18)
A suspicious suitcase that turned out to be harmless was found and detonated last weekend by Hungarian police at the site here where the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was performing.
Although it turned out to be a false alarm, the security alert delayed the orchestra's arrival from Frankfurt for two hours, Hungarian Television reported.
Hungarian police have been on alert at Jewish and Israeli sites since bombs hit Jewish targets in Argentina, Panama and Britain last month.

".......... The Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986 made any machine guns registered after 05/19/86 illegal to be transferred to regular civilians. "
This is what I said. The market works on supply and demand. The supply was cut off, demand stays the same, prices skyrocket. If you had an M16 prior to 1986 you couldn't ask more for it than someone could buy one for new. Now you can't buy one new so you can ask whatever the market will bare. One more item about that statment; ".....machine guns registered after 05/19/86......" You can't register a machine gun for private sale after the 1986 act. This is no longer allowed.
You are correct that the GCA of 1968 prohibited the importation of Class III weapons for individuals, however you could still buy UZIs or HKs or whatever that were converted from semi-auto by a Class III manufacturer until the 1986 act made this practice illegal. By the same token prior to 1986 you could buy new US manufactuered guns such as the M-16 which you can't now. So to say he did next to nothing to the machine gun community is a statement I don't agree with.
You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

Nuances of complex Budget leave Executive ministers with some difficult questions to answer
The Chancellor, George Osborne, has given the Northern Ireland Executive major complex questions from two major issues in his Budget.
First, with the publication of the Treasury consultation dealing with rebalancing the economy, the decision making on how corporation tax is to be administered becomes a real debate.
Does Northern Ireland want this extra devolution of responsibility and are the cost implications acceptable?
Second, alongside the creation of 21 new enterprise zones in England, does the Northern Ireland Executive wish to introduce a similar concept?
Arguably, a Northern Ireland enterprise initiative might be rather more ambitious and apply to the whole region. Are NI ministers ready to assemble a range of measures applying across Northern Ireland that would give this concept a local wow factor?
The new Executive will need to consider the full mixture of policies on company taxation, enterprise initiatives that will need to be studied by Arlene Foster (right) and local variations on a range of marginal incentives.
For the wider UK economy, the Chancellor had very little scope to be optimistic.
The UK Government will stay on course to reduce spending, selectively increase some taxes and reduce the scale of borrowing.
The Chancellor emphasised his ambition to stimulate faster growth and offered some longer-term adjustments to specific tax concessions, planning reforms and training for young people. Nevertheless, his Budget arithmetic forecasts that GDP growth in 2011 will be only 1.7%, instead of his earlier forecast of 2.1%.
For Northern Ireland, there is little in the Budget proposals that offer assurance that the current recession will be reversed in 2011.
Average family incomes will buy a lower standard of living than in 2010. Inflation, tax increases through National Insurance and VAT, pay restraint and job losses, taken together, mean that total household incomes will be lower and, after inflation, will provide lower real income.
The big spending elements of the Chancellor's Budget were set last autumn.
There is some uncertainty about the impact in Northern Ireland of the tax changes designed to improve the UK's tax competitiveness. While Stormont may take over corporation tax-setting powers (which might not be effective until 2014 anyway), larger businesses will welcome the fall in corporation tax to 26% next month and the further fall to 23% by 2014.
Several of the growth measures, promised in GB, now need to be either endorsed or rejected by Northern Ireland ministers.
In a complex Budget, one feature calls for a muted compliment. The Chancellor has trimmed the duty on petrol - a small step, but with only a marginal impact.
On a final note, the users of natural gas in Northern Ireland will be disappointed to know that the climate change levy exemption for gas suppliers is being phased out starting on April 1, 2011. That becomes, possibly inevitably, a small extra tax charge.

You won't find the information in a headline because she isn't a conservative. Amy Bishop, the University of Alabama shooter, is a major Obama lover. I'd call her a "supporter" but that validates what is basically an infatuation between The One and his mindless supporters, as well as The One and himself.
The news was reported by the Boston Herald in the third to last paragraph in the story.
A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was "obsessed" with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.
What I find more fascinating than her politics is the way the media has been completely silent, minus the one paragraph mention at the end of the article, about Bishop and her "off-putting" Obama love.
Should her views matter? Probably not. Once you have killed innocent people, I don't care about your reasoning or your musings or your political beliefs. I know all I need to know about you – that, when given the choice, you choose evil. You hate. And that transcends all rational thought.
However, setting that aside, it's hard to deny the media's love of blaming conservatives, talk radio, and Christians for any act of violence, discrimination, or hatred within the English speaking world. And if at some point they can prove Bishop ever willingly watched Fox News, they'll be boycotting Beck again.
This road, however, isn't a two-way street. Reporting truth is only the bias media's priority when it fits their narrative. And forget reporting. Bending truth is so much easier. Okay, forget bending. Let's call it "rewriting".
For example, James von Brunn, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shooter, an old guy with an ugly mug.
The liberal media attached him to conservatives and Christians all on the basis that the man was a white supremacist. (Which, by saying that, means they're also saying only whites can be Christian. Anyone pick up on that?) Not taking into account the fact Christians and conservatives absolutely deplore white supremacists. The very core of conservative values is equality for all, whether black or white or male or female or gay or straight or free thinker or drone.
The only way to obtain that equality is by individualism and not pandering to minorities or special interest groups. What the liberals call "fair" treatment, is really treating one person better than another based on their race or gender or political views. Please explain how that isn't the definition of "racism" and "bigotry".
Conservatives believe in giving each American the same opportunities to fail or succeed based on their individual work ethic, passion, ability, integrity and applauding that success.
Also, on the white supremacist narrative, let's not forget the liberals have reelected Democrat Robert Byrd to office, despite his previous membership in the Ku Klux Klan, since 1959.
During the von Brunn incident, the liberal media didn't want to report the fact the man was a hater, period. He hated everyone, including Christians, both Bush presidents, big corporations, and had even apparently planned a second shooting at the conservative Weekly Standard offices. He was also a socialist, loved Adolph Hitler, and was anti-Semitic.
Another favorite liberal tool is Scott Roeder, the man who shot and killed late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller last May. He is also touted as a pro-lifer gone mad. Except the man had no connections to the pro-life movement. He wasn't pro-life, obvious by the fact he killed a man.
Darn if logic doesn't stick in their crawl.
What the media forgets, while harping on pro-lifers and trying to connect them to an insane madman who dreamed of killing Tiller for ten years in all various ways, is the killing of Jim Pouillon, a pro-life activist in Michigan. The killer, Harlan James Drake, simply didn't like Pouillon's pro-life sign that he held at the side of the road. So he shot the elderly man several times while on his way to perform a second killing.
Where was the media outrage?
From the left to right, we can find examples of the mentally insane and morally corrupt taking it upon themselves to commit heinous crimes in the name of ideology. That happens. And it won't stop.
You can count on the media, however, to always land on one side of the issue – against conservatives. It's the no news in news.

'Les Misťrables' to Return To Broadway for Six Months
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: February 17, 2006
Giving new meaning to the term ''revival,'' Cameron Mackintosh has decided to bring his long-running hit ''Les Mis?bles'' back to Broadway a mere three and a half years after closing a 16-year run.
The musical, which played 6,680 performances on Broadway from 1987 to 2003, will take up residence at the Broadhurst Theater on Oct. 21. Billed as a six-month engagement, ''Les Miz,'' version 2.0, will use sets and lighting from a current North American tour -- now in Boston -- and feature a company of tour members as well as newly cast actors.
Reached at his estate in Somerset, England, yesterday, Mr. Mackintosh said the Broadway return was part of a celebration of the show's worldwide longevity -- in October, ''Les Miz'' will become the longest-running musical in London's West End -- and of course, its potential sales.
''Audiences seem to have grown up on the show, and the people who come to see it say it's better than ever,'' Mr. Mackintosh. ''So it seemed to me, why not?''
Based on the novel about the French Revolution by Victor Hugo, with music by Claude Michel Schonberg and lyrics by Alain Boublil and Mr. Schonberg, ''Les Miz'' is the third-longest-running show in Broadway history. (Mr. Mackintosh also produced the top two, ''The Phantom of the Opera'' and ''Cats.'' ) The show ended its initial Broadway run on May 18, 2003, with audiences filling the Imperial Theater to more than 90 percent of capacity in its closing weeks. But the previous year sales had lagged, with some performances playing to half-empty houses.
Mr. Mackintosh said that the current tour, which has played major cities like Washington, Chicago and Toronto, has been earning gross revenues of more than $1 million a week. He said the production at the Broadhurst (smaller by the Imperial by about 200 seats) would cost only about $4 million to mount, low for a Broadway musical. John Caird, one of the musical's two original directors (along with Trevor Nunn), will work with the new cast in a three-week rehearsal process in New York prior to the start of performances.
The show's quick return to Broadway is not completely unprecedented. In 1987, a stripped-down production of ''Dreamgirls'' opened on Broadway less than two years after the original closed. And amazingly enough, the new production of ''Les Miz'' will be eligible for Tony Awards in the 2006-7 season, as a revival. Tony rules stipulate that only three years must pass between an original production and a second one for the second to be considered a revival.
Not that Mr. Mackintosh seems too concerned with awards. ''It still has a validity that hits you in the solar plexus,'' he said of his warhorse. ''It's a bloody good musical well done.''

In Reply to: Run/Go like the Clappers posted by Gail Hogben on August 24, 2003
: During a very interesting visit to the Chatham Dockyard in Kent in the UK, we were told that the phrase "to run like the clappers" comes from when the bell was rung to tell the workers it was time for work in the morning. As it got closer to starting time, the bell was rung faster. Now Chatham dockyard is NOT small and the guide said that the phrase was used when latecomers realised they still had a good 15-20 minute walk across the yards to get to their place of work, and so they picked up speed and ran as fast as the clappers (of the starting bell). Does this sound plausible?
::: Yes, I'd really like to know about this one too. I use it all the time, but don't know where it comes from.

CEAttachments Inc., a West Bend, Wis.-based global supplier of attachments and accessories for compact equipment, has introduced the new Edge backhoes and buckets for skid steers and track loaders.
|New Edge backhoes and buckets for skid steer and track loaders from CEAttachments.
Three new Edge backhoe models feature a new monoblock-style valve with higher rated spool seals to prevent valve leakage from high back pressure. These new models also feature grouser-style stabilizer pads as standard equipment for added stability and control, the company says.
These new backhoe models are the Edge BH509B, BH511B and BH611B, which join the BH485 model with the 180-degree boom pivot rotation. The digging depths of the new backhoes range from 9-feet, 8-inches to 11-feet, 1-inch with digging forces from 5,676 pounds to 6,200 pounds.
CEAttachments also has introduced five new excavator-style buckets for the new backhoes. The Edge buckets come in 12-inch, 16-inch, 18-inch, 24-inch and 36-inch sizes with capacities ranging from 1.25 cubic foot to 4.05 cubic foot capacities for any size excavating job.
These new Edge backhoes and buckets will give operators the power to handle excavation jobs such as digging utility trenches or septic tanks without the necessity of bringing another large piece of equipment to a job site, according to CEAttachments.
CEAttachments is a full service international wholesale distributor of attachments and accessories for all brands and models of compact equipment including skid steers and track loaders, compact excavators and compact utility tractors.

Apples and Oranges
Jorge Costales and I may disagree about the Marlins Stadium deal, but unlike me, he doesn't just sit back and lazily rely on his philosophical disposition to make his case. He actually, you know, knows what the hell he's talking about. Great evidence of that can be found in this post from Friday, when he eviscerates the Miami Herald for misleading its readers into believing that the Marlins' proposed deal is way worse than that given to the Yankees and Mets.
Costales isn't deluded into thinking that the Marlins deal is fantabulous for Miami taxpayers, and understands that the Mets and Yankees have a much better shot of making investments in their stadiums worth their while, but he is rightfully tired of the apples and oranges comparisons stadium detractors are employing. My view: any significantly visible expenditure of public money is going to lead to these kinds of shell games, both pro and con, so let's be critical of whatever anyone is saying about the money.

Each level has an initial group of missions, which can be completed in any order. If you die at this time, you'll be given the chance to drop in again, and guide yourself to another more appropriate place. However, in what feels like a strong compromise of the game's freeform approach, once you've completed these missions, your spawn point becomes fixed, and you're off down another corridor-like shaft. You'll often still have a number of paths available, but it suddenly becomes linear again. The split is about 50/50, and it's most noticeable in the Market Garden level (once you get to the bridge).
The six campaigns will take under ten hours to complete. Some replay value is gained from playing the levels in different ways - that's the main point of it, after all - and the multiplayer is reassuringly strong. The weapons are more balanced than previous MOH outings, and there's a reprise of the Destroyed Village map for the fans of Allied Assault. The multiplayer also gives you the option of letting the Allies 'chute in - only this time, the Nazis are able to gun you down in mid-air if you try to land too close. The multiplayer is a lot of fun, especially with weapons upgrades turned on. It has to be said, without the multiplayer, Airborne might have felt a lot less substantial.

Restoring Jarrah Forest in Southwestern Australia after Bauxite Mining
Alcoa of Australia Limited is the world's largest bauxite miner and alumina refiner. This company has mined bauxite in the jarrah forest in western Australia since 1963, and the first restorations were carried out in 1966 (Koch and Ward 1994). The goal of rehabilitation is to establish a "self-sustaining, jarrah forest ecosystem that maintains the water, timber, conservation, recreation, and other values of the pre-mining forest" (Ward et al. 1997).
Restoration of Degraded Ecosystems in Mediterranean Regions
This project will investigate innovative techniques for plant cultivation and plantation, and seeding, that will be tested in the field. Plant species to be investigated include native tall shrubs and trees, especially adapted to dry mediterranean conditions. These species have deep rooting systems and resprouting capacity: carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), cork oak (Quercus suber), holm oak (Quercus ilex), mastic tree (Pistacia Ientiscus), kermes oak (Quercus coccifera) and the fodder shrub Medicago arborea. The research will address the restoration of extremely degraded wildlands, representative of desertified areas in the Mediterranean Europe previously identified.
Restoration of Mediterranean Evergreen Oak Woodland
The "evergreen cork and holm oak – grassland" agroforestry ecosystems are essentially of anthropogenic origin. Their stability and long term viability may become unbalanced if one of the stability factors is modified. Grazing is one of those factors. Its reduction or cessation may result in an entirely different landscape with more grass if trees do not regenerate or with more trees if tree regeneration is facilitated by the grass ecosystem. The complex interaction between plants with different canopy layers (trees and grass) deserves great attention.
Alcoa World Alumina Australia: Restored Bauxite Mines in Western Australia
In 1990 we published our current restoration objective; 'To restore a self-sustaining jarrah forest ecosystem, planned to enhance or maintain water, timber, recreation and conservation values.' Implicit in achieving this objective is an understanding of the successional pathways and drivers of this ecosystem.
(Photos courtesy of Alcoa World Alumina Australia)
Over the last three decades we have undertaken much research which includes but is not restricted to tree growth, water use and root growth, nutrient accumulation and cycling, soil development, microbial respiration, pathogenic organisms, fungal and mycorrhizal succession, vascular plant succession, invertebrate and vertebrate fauna succession. All of this work indicates that our restored forests are proceeding along a development trajectory towards the pre-mining forest.

Today at EBACE 2014, Dassault took the wraps off the Falcon 8X–a 7X derivative with a 3.6-foot-longer fuselage (at 42.6 feet) and 500 nm more range (at 6,450 nm). The flagship 8X, priced at approximately $58 million (10 percent more than the Falcon 7X), is expected to fly in the first quarter of next year. Certification is expected in mid-2016, with deliveries beginning in the second half of that year.
The trijet will be powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D, an improved version of the 7X's PW307. Combined with improved wing design, the new powerplant will make the 8X up to 35 percent more fuel efficient than any other aircraft in the ultra-long-range segment, according to Dassault.
Manufacturing of the first Falcon 8X is well under way. During a visit just before EBACE, AIN saw the first complete fuselage at the Biarritz factory and the first wing at Dassault's Bordeaux Martignas production facility. The latter subassembly is to be delivered next month to the final assembly line in Bordeaux Mérignac. Ground testing of the first completed aircraft will begin later this year.

For those of you after easy, gluten free sweet treats for Christmas, here is a couple more. This first one is good if you have a Christmas cake that turns out too dry. Don't waste it. Give it a facelift and new lease of life.
Miniature Puddings
1 gluten free fruit cake
Brandy (or orange juice if you don't want to use brandy)
Melted white chocolate
Glace cherries.
Crumble fruit cake up. Pour over enough brandy or orange juice to make really moist. (I haven't specified a quantity as this will depend on the size of the cake and also how dry it is.) Mix well.
Shape into small balls with hands. Refrigerate.
When cold, drizzle a small amount of melted white chocolate over each ball. Add half a glace cherry to the top and watch them disappear. Too easy!
Lemon Coconut Balls
8 ounces desiccated or shredded moist coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pistachio nuts or slivered almonds, crushed
Juice of half a lemon (or more if you like it extra tangy)
A handful of fresh mint leaves chopped
Mix 6 ounces of coconut and the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Heat a non-stick pan on low heat and add mixture to the pan. Stir over low heat until the mixture starts to dry and rolls easily into a ball.
Remove from the heat. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes until cool enough to handle.
Place the remaining coconut onto a plate. Use damp hands to roll the mixture into balls and then roll in coconut to coat.
Refrigerate and serve cold. The coconut balls can be refrigerated for up to a week.
Cranberries are my new favorite dried fruit and go well in anything from salads to casseroles to sweets. Try these Cranberry Balls. Yum!
Cranberry Balls
2 cups chopped cranberries
4 cups coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Extra coconut for rolling
Combine all ingredients. Shape into balls. Roll in coconut. Store in the fridge.
I doubled the amounts of the original recipe because my guess is you'll need lots of them to keep up with the demand.

Birmingham lights up, with more to come
Birmingham's "LightRails" at the 18th Street Railroad Viaduct is lighting up the city with holiday colors. And the special Christmas-themed program is only the beginning. REV Birmingham, the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, and the City of Birmingham are poised to announce funding has been secured for future downtown lighting projects. Remaining lighting projects, including 14th, 20th and 19th Street underpasses, will each have their own unique identity and are scheduled to come online in early 2014.
Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham President Kate Nielsen said, "The Catalyst Fund, which is making this project possible, was set up to fund big ideas that can spark community change. Having these permanent light-art installations in the four major underpasses will build a vital connection between the north and south side of our city center, contributing to its growing vibrancy."
Additional lighting events will be announced in the upcoming year. The holiday colors will run for December only.

Chimú-Inca Tomb Discovered in Peru
Thursday, December 12, 2013
ANCASH, PERU—A fifteenth-century tomb from the Chimú culture, which had been conquered by the Inca, has been discovered at the Samanco archaeological complex. The multi-chambered tomb contained the remains of at least four elite musicians and weavers, in addition to the remains of two people who had been sacrificed for burial. Artifacts from the tomb include copper crescent knives; jewelry made of lapis lazuli, turquoise, quartz, and spondylus shells; wooden figurines; ceramic vessels filled with food and drink; llamas; musical instruments; and textiles. "This is one of the very few Chimú-Inca tombs ever excavated. It reveals interesting details about the coastal Andean world just prior to European contact," said Matthew Helmer of the University of East Anglia.

First Legal Marijuana Retail Brand Debuts
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — America's newly legalized marijuana industry is attracting corporate cash and entrepreneurs who want to transform the business from plants in plastic bags sold on street corners to branded experiences in well-outfitted stores.
Jamen Shively, founder of Diego Pellicer, the first retail brand in the U.S. to market legal, premium marijuana, says the plant is an "incredible boost to creativity" — the company itself bloomed from a "brainstorm session with cannabis."
As with other products like clothes, coffee, and technology, the corporate suppliers are moving to provide diversity in variety, service and quality during this Green Rush.
Like Starbucks and its Teavana boutiques, Diego Pellicer will be using a retail store strategy within this untapped recreational cannabis industry. They plan to open a pot retail store within the next year in Washington State, which, along with Colorado, recently legalized pot for recreational use. Many other states allow legal sales of pot, but only for medicinal use, though getting a license to buy has few barriers in many localities.
Diego Pellicer is developing a system to optimally match consumers with specific varieties of cannabis based on characteristics of both the plant and the person. "Think of this as an E-Harmony.com of cannabis," says Shively.
While there are many entrepreneurs entering the recreational marijuana market, there are questions on how the federal government, which does not recognize legalized sales to the general public, will respond. Jeffrey Miron, an economist at Harvard University, says that he is "guardedly optimistic" the industry will be allowed to bloom. "A fully legalized market," he says, could generate "$20 billion in annual retail sales."
Currently, Diego Pellicer has two operating retail centers with Northwest Patient Resource Center (NWPRC) for Medical Marijuana. Diego Pellicer is working with them to develop designs and logistics for the Diego stores, and incorporating the best companies from within NWPRC's network into the Diego Network, says Shively.
The business seems set for a long expansion. This month, Colorado took its first legal recreational marijuana store applications. Dispensaries such as Sweet Mary Jane Edibles plan to apply to have a bakery shop with cannabis-filled treats in the next year.
Here's a look at some of the publicly traded firms in the business:
Company Stock Ticker Average Daily Volume Market Cap. (Millions)
Medbox, Inc. MDBX 11K $325
CannaVEST Corp. CANV 55 $313
Medical Marijuana, Inc. MJNA 6M $138
Cannabis Science, Inc. CBIS 1.7M $28
Growlife, Inc. PHOT 13M $51
HEMP, Inc. HEMP 6.4M $4

As all Sipps have to be set up with a bank account concern was raised as to whether some savers would have lost money following the high profile problems of Icelandic banks. Following the collapse of BCCI in 1991 many Ssas investors suffered losses.
Most Sipps are set up with a default bank but some providers allow investors to choose an alternative bank. Money Marketing spoke to the following providers that confirmed they did not have Icelandic bank exposure: Aegon, AJ Bell, Alliance Trust, Axa, Cofunds, DA Phillips, Fidelity, Hargreaves Lansdown, Hornbuckle Mitchell, IPS Pensions, Legal and General, Merchant Investors, Scottish Widows, Skandia, Standard Life, Suffolk Life, Wealthtime and Winterthur Life.
A spokeswoman at the FSCS says that should a Sipp provider have been exposed to Icelandic banks, customers would be protected. "We look at who the ultimate beneficiary of the bank account would be. If the account has been set up clearly for a beneficiary they would be covered. Rather than just looking at the account, we would look at who the ultimate beneficiaries of that account would be," she says.

Originally it was reported (and believed) that Cage had left Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen's "The Green Hornet" because his people and the studio couldn't reach an agreement, contract-wise. That, apparently, wasn't the real reason. Cage explains to The Canadian Press that the reason he left the movie had more to do with the character he was supposed to play.
According to Cage, the movie's villain that he was set to play, Chudnofsky, was too much of a "straight-up bad guy who was killing people willy-nilly." Apparently there wasn't enough backstory to explain the man's violent tendencies, and that, says Cage, was something he could not abide by. He goes on:
"'The Green Hornet' was something that I wanted to do, I think Michel Gondry is very talented and I had hoped it would work but I think Seth Rogen and Michel had a different take on the character. I had to have some humanity and to try to give it something where you could understand why the character was the way he was but I don't think there was enough time to develop it."
Well, you gotta respect him for not wanting to play a character with shallow, manufactured motives. After all, not every character can be as deep and rich, you know, Ghost Rider and his flaming motorcycle. Or that guy who runs around knocking over national landmarks.
And really, when it all comes down to it, everyone got what they wanted. Cage got out, and "Green Hornet" got the Nazi from "Inglourious Basterds" to replace him. It's win-win.

I was dreaming
it was night
I was on a beach
yet the sea made no sound
and as I walked
I found myself walking backwards
I knew time was present
I knew that time was all about me
surrounding me, yet also inside my head
in the way that the sound of the sea and the wind surrounds
one's being and yet is inside
a part of the mind
a part of the body
there was sand
there was water
there was time
and I knew that time was going backwards
its numbers were names running
on a clock I could not see
but knew was present
twenty-o-four, nineteen-sixty-nine
my feet were well shod
my hands were well gloved
(though it was neither hot nor cold)
one foot was in the water
one foot was on the sand
and to the left of me and to the right of me
was sand and sea
the sand was a desert
the sea was an ocean
and above me the heavens
lay somewhere behind a tented sky
that was without moon or star or cloud or colour
across the dark water black shadows sped towards me
against the sky sped bird shapes lured by the shadows
they travelled backwards, head following tail
movement without sound
action without purpose
the shadows ran through the gloved cage of my cupping hands
I made each hand into a fist
I buried my fists in salt water and sand
what could I do

Objects are ascribed meanings according to the cultural agenda of the museum and the preferred knowledge of the larger culture that the museum represents. The UK Museum of Ordure is consistent with this, and in keeping with the destructive tendencies of capitalist relations of production, its collection is subject to an unmanageable process of corruption that slowly deforms and disables its data. This is not simply a question of a politics of the representation of ordure but also a process of ordure in itself that slowly 'corrupts' all in its collection. The broader suggestion is that if capitalism is by definition a system of corruption, how might we conceive of its negation.
A critique of the institution of the museum is nothing new. In 'On the Museum's Ruins' (1990), Douglas Crimp argued that museums strive to represent art coherently and provide a prescribed meaning to the object through an imposed order. In a similar way, Susan Stewart (in Clifford, 2000: 61) described how the museum creates the illusion of adequate representation of a world by 'first taking objects out of their specific context of production and then making them stand for abstract wholes'. The museum, and the other institutions that present objects to us, permeates itself into every cell of the object – every fragment and pixel. This is analogous to what Mannheim called 'total ideology – the despotism of a fragment imposing itself as the pseudo-knowledge of a frozen whole, as a totalitarian worldview.' (in Debord, 1995: 150-1) In other words, the concept of the museum is a strange perversity, sustained by a series of systematic fictions. Eugenio Donato describes this as the: 'uncritical belief in the notion that ordering and classifying, that is to say, the spatial juxtaposition of fragments, can produce a representational understanding of the world. Should the fiction disappear, there is nothing left of the Museum but "bric-a-brac", a heap of meaningless and valueless fragments of objects.' (1990: 49)
The Museum of Ordure takes this idea at face value in collecting ordure (rubbish, shit, waste), aiming to draw attention to what and how the culture assigns value. In the Museum of Ordure, the value and status of its objects are left in question. Operating in the spirit of artist's dealing with the material of shit and producing shit (eg. Manzoni), the Museum of Ordure aims to question the relationship of what we produce and its relative value in the wider culture and economy. Inadequate toilet training has contributed to a particular form of political organisation, wherein capital and surplus-value are produced and reproduced in limitless transformation. The museum perhaps poses the question whether the best kind of ordure resists commodification?
At the other end of the cultural stratification lies the traditional museum, holding vast and predominantly dusty collections of 'bric-a-brac' with an equally dubious hold over preferred value and meaning. The curators at the Museum of Ordure would no doubt be as interested in what a conventional museum like this – Ulster Museum – chooses not to display, or indeed what it chooses to label use-less, worth-less, value-less. As a result, UKMO refuses to fix the object in such a way that it might be ascribed meaning and value in the conservative (conservatorial) sense. Moreover, the curatorial intention is to destabilise meanings and value, in recognition of the process of their construction and their 'immaterial' form.
By the use of the term 'immaterial', the aim is to situate the museum in terms of the contemporary mode of production. The mode of production has undergone dramatic transformations, characterised by flexibility, decentralisation and networking. The increasingly immaterial form of social relations, communications networks, information systems, has also been extended to the new type of production of 'immaterial goods' and the 'immaterial labour' invested in these commodities (after Maurizio Lazzarato's definition, 1996). This can partly be recognised in relation to the computer, in the way it has redefined labour as well as social practices and relations. Thus, the site of production remains crucial to an understanding of culture at large. In this way, any museum worth its salt might be described in the following terms: '[its] institutional structure is like a software program that carries a virus along with it, so that it is continually modulating and corrupting the institutional forms around it.' (Hardt and Negri, 2000: 197-8)
Under these 'immaterial' conditions of production the conventional museum, indeed archives, seem a sadly fixed and passive repository for objects that lack any sense of their dynamic relation to the process of production. Correspondingly, the Museum of Ordure articulates the dialectical operations of corruption and generation. For Hardt and Negri, corruption is a good term to describe the violent, destructive and virus-like procedures self-evident in the capitalist relations of production. Capitalism is by definition a system of corruption and violence, and the task is to investigate 'how corruption can be forced to cede its control to generation' (2000: 392). Herein lies a crucial part of dialectical thinking – as it is as a result of the recognition of the exploitative relations of production that change is made possible. The violence of corruption is self-evident in the capitalist relations of production as exploitation. Here the world of actual human labour, of dirty production, of dirty surplus value appears in the form of material things. Dialectical thinking would suggest this is reversible, that corruption might be superseded by generation.
It might be argued that culture and politics need to articulate themselves in terms of generative processes in lieu of the regenerative and degenerative mechanisms built into contemporary capitalism. For Hardt and Negri, the dominant power structure is: 'characterised by a fluidity of form – an ebb and flow of formation and deformation, generation and degeneration' (2000: 202). The networked computer can be seen to be not merely a part of these processes but also a metaphor for them. As systems theory suggests, within systems or sub-systems, positive feedback loops might generate the further development of a process to the point of causing a fundamental and unforeseeable change of the existing system. This is important as it emphasises the constructive positive role that disorder might play in creating new order. This demonstrates the dialectical play between two interconnected states of order and disorder, between generation and corruption, suggesting the potential for change built into any system. Systems, even social systems, are not closed but can be seen to be also sensitive to small changes – human intervention for instance. Contradictions manifest themselves in all aspects of capitalism's workings, however latent they may appear. These contradictory tendencies unfold in every detail of the system, 'every one of its basic "cells", the commodities' (Mandel, 1990: 13) – every one of its pixels.
The advocated approach of the Museum of Ordure is thus tactical, to take account of things that rather convincingly appear to be out of control, or beyond our control, as emergent or generative systems. According to Capital, the decline of capitalism's mode of production is inevitable, even its latest phase, as it is simply a product of history that also produced it in the first place. To the historical materialist, data cannot be seen to be fixed but is always able to be transformed – like Benjamin's angel of history who wants to gather up the wreckage of terrible events, wasted lives and worthless objects. The angel wants to make things better, but cannot do this because of the dominant forces at work. Esther Leslie cites a statement by Adorno (in a radio lecture, 1962) who insists the angel is not only the angel of history but the angel of the machine. This would suggest that the renewal of the idea of progress is through the better use of history and technology. The Museum of Ordure sets out its stall accordingly.

[W]alls are the material declaration of the intent to repel all delinquent perception and all illicit communion. Walls are the armoury that preserves our personal integrity against the inroads of the rest of humanity and nature.' (Robin Evans)
66 East's third exhibition will study the wall: its characteristics, its texture, its surface, its function and its presence.
The wall can be described as an elementary particle of the urban environment. It functions as a partition between the private and the public, between flats and between rooms. It often exists as a neutral, almost unnoticed spatial border. It appears in plan as a two dimensional line, its thickness and depth possessing no significance other than its constructive qualities and ability to insolate noise and energy. Yet the wall -whether external or internal- is of primary importance for spatial division, exclusion and inclusion, limiting and enabling view and action. It is 'split' due to its double-sidedness, each side facing a different ambience or enclosure, defining it and being defined by its character.
Opening reception: Friday 18.06.04 18:00
Exhibition: 19 June – 24 July 2004
Opening times: Fridays 14:00-20:00, Saturdays 12:00-18:00

It can be generally agreed that all subjectivity can be recognised as socially constructed and artificial. Hardt and Negri argue that as the place of production becomes more and more place-less, subjectivities become correspondingly indeterminate, still generated, but generated in new forms:
'The imperial social institutions might be seen, then, in a fluid process of the generation and corruption of subjectivity. […] The Empire's institutional structure is like a software program that carries a virus along with it, so that it is continually modulating and corrupting the institutional forms around it.' (2000: 197-8)
The catalyst for generation in Hardt and Negri is desire (following in the tradition of Deleuze and Guattari). They see this as indicative of collective human action.
'This production is purely and simply human reproduction, the power of generation. Desiring production is generation, or rather the excess of labor and the accumulation of a power incorporated into the collective movement of singular essences, both its cause and its completion.' (2000: 388)
There is a question about whether generation itself can be seen to be dialectical. Yet, there is a broad agreement that politics needs to articulate itself in terms of generative processes in lieu of the regenerative mechanisms built into capitalism itself; in the sense that production is generative. Hardt and Negri say:
'Generation is there, before all else, as basis and motor of production and reproduction. The generative connection gives meaning to communication, and any model of (everyday, philosophical, or political) communication that does not respond to this primacy is false.' (2000: 389)
Don't make the assumption that our museum only does audio files. You can see real life exhibits at the museum; visit us with your winnings from Canadian slots.
It is true that capitalism has undergone dramatic transformations, characterised by flexibility, decentralisation and networking. The system has become fully flexible and mobile, with unpredictability and complexity as the predominant metaphors for both culture and economics.
Hardt and Negri's use of the term 'corruption' is interesting; taken from Aristotle, it refers to a perpetual becoming of bodies that is complementary to generation (from De generatione et corruptione, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1982). Thus, corruption might be called 'de-generation – a reverse process of generation and composition, a moment of metamorphosis that potentially frees spaces for change' (2000: 201)
This lends itself well to my reading of 'Ordure::real-time' and its dialectical operations, even if, this in itself, is a corruption of Hardt and Negri's project. Corruption (a good term as it lends itself to viruses and is a form of violence) is the negation of generation (for more on this, see Reiner Schürmann, Des hégémonies brisées, Mouvezin: T.E.R., 1996, cited in Hardt and Negri, 2000: 389). For instance, the violence of corruption is self-evident in the capitalist relations of production as exploitation.
Hardt and Negri say capitalism is by definition a system of corruption, and the task is to investigate 'how corruption can be forced to cede its control to generation' (2000: 392).

|Death Following Congenital Heart Surgery
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to elucidate the patterns of death following congenital heart surgery.
|Detailed Description
With the improvements in instrumentation, surgical technique, and critical care, the overall mortality following congenital heart surgery has become extremely low. Also, with the introduction of extracorporeal support (ECMO), especially in the emergency setting, acute deaths are extremely rare. The majority of post-operative deaths seem to be the result of a prolonged hospitalization with a progressive decline to multi-system organ failure.
The primary aim of the study is to elucidate the patterns of death following congenital heart surgery. The secondary aims of the study are to discover patterns and consistencies among the deaths and to discover points of potential intervention to reduce surgical mortality. The study will be conducted through a retrospective chart review of approximately 40 patients.
