Isner, Harrison to Play Newport
Isner, Harrison to Play Newport
NEWPORT, R.I., January 17, 2013– Two-time defending champion and No. 1 American player John Isner has committed to defend his title in the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in July. It was also announced that Ryan Harrison, a semifinalist at last year's tournament, who is currently ranked within the world top-65, will also return to Newport. A ticket pre-sale for Hall of Fame Members begins today, and tickets will go on sale to the general public on February 1.

, or call 401-849-6053.
"Each summer, the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships brings some of the world's best tennis players to Rhode Island for the only ATP World Tour event in the Northeast. The players come to Newport straight from Wimbledon, and we have developed a tradition of hosting some of the top American players, serving as their first tournament back in the United States to kick off the summer swing," stated Tournament Director Mark Stenning. "John and Ryan are two of the most exciting American players to watch, and the tournament and our fans look forward to welcoming them back to Newport for an exciting week of tennis."
Currently ranked world No. 13, Isner has been the No. 1 American player since the middle of 2012 and he has been a leader on the US Olympic and Davis Cup teams. At the 2012 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, Isner defeated former world No.1 Lleyton Hewitt in the final to capture his second straight victory in Newport. Including his 2012 and 2011 titles at Newport, Isner has a total of five ATP World Tour singles titles and three doubles titles to his name. Known for his huge serve and powerful ground strokes, Isner, who is the second tallest player on the ATP World Tour at 6'9", is a fan-favorite at Newport and always delivers exciting tennis for fans.
Harrison, who has consistently been a rising star in the past several seasons, closed out the 2012 season very strong, having improved his year-end ranking for a 5th straight season to finish at No. 70, winning a personal-best 23 matches, and advancing to three semifinals—including Newport. At the US Open, 20-year-old Harrison and his brother, 18-year-old Christian, advanced to the quarterfinals in doubles. Harrison picked up his first ATP World Tour title in Newport in 2011, partnered with Matt Ebden. The pair also won the doubles title at Atlanta in 2012. Harrison has kicked off the 2013 season off with a strong start, jumping eight places in the rankings to his current No. 62 spot, after making it to the quarterfinals at the Apia International Sydney last week.
The Hall of Fame Tennis Championships is the only professional tournament played on grass courts in North or South America. The event is hosted on the beautiful grass courts of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, which have hosted all of the great legends of the sport, dating back to 1881, when the facility hosted the first U.S. Nationals – the event that evolved to today's US Open. Steeped in rich history, the fan friendly venue is often noted as one of the best places on the professional tour to get close to the action. Every seat offers a great view, and it is not uncommon to see players stopping for autographs and chatting with fans. For fans who cannot make it to Newport, the tournament is broadcast to more than 70 million homes worldwide.
Complementing a full week of exciting ATP World Tour tennis, special events during the tournament include junior tennis clinics, a pro am with the ATP World Tour pros, family activities, and more.
A highlight of the week is always the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony, when the highest honor in the sport of tennis is presented to great champions and leaders in the sport. The nominees for 2013 enshrinement are former world No. 1 Martina Hingis, Wimbledon champion Michael Stich, doubles specialist Helena Sukova, Australian tennis legend Thelma Coyne Long, ESPN's Cliff Drsydale and tennis industry leaders Charlie Pasarell and Ion Tiriac. The International Tennis Hall of Fame Class of 2013 will be announced on March 4 at Madison Square Garden as part of World Tennis Day. The Enshrinement Ceremony will be held on Saturday, July 13, just prior to the semifinals of the
Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.
A pre-sale for tickets for the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships and Class of 2013 Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony begins today for Hall of Fame Members. In addition to the pre-sale, Hall of Fame Members receive $5 off all tickets for Monday–Thursday, $5 off weekend tickets at certain membership levels, and an array of other great membership benefits during the tournament. Tickets will go on sale to the General Public on Friday, February 1 at 10 a.m.

ALMOST 200 guests attended the 200th anniversary dinner of Largs Thistle Curling Club at Seamill Hydro on Friday, February 15.
President Jim Welsh welcomed the gathering to the bi-centenary occasion which attracted representatives of kindred clubs, Gourock, Auchenhames, Ardrossan Castle, Millport, Port Glasgow, Between The Sheets and Stair.
Mr Welsh said that when Largs Thistle Curling Club was founded in 1813 it was the year that Jane Austen's 'Pride And Prejudice' was published, and David Livingstone was born.
The club were still grateful to Dr John Cairnie, a surgeon, who bought land at Broomfields, Largs and built a house called Curlinghall. Cairnie created the first artificial curling pond and helped to found the Royal Caledonian Curling Club of which he was the first president.
Mr Welsh added that the Largs club had been blessed with committed members such as former president Alex Simpson who owned the Largs & Millport News, and builders' merchant Hugh McNish.
Now, thanks to generous sponsorship, the club were launching a project to develop the sport with, for example, coaching lessons for Largs Academy pupils.
Guest speaker, Robin Copeland of Balerno spoke of his long association with Largs where the family lived in Acre Avenue and he developed a love for Clyde steamers.
He pointed out that John Cairnie was a one-armed surgeon who moved to the town in 1810 after marrying Agnes Galbraith. He described Largs as "the Montpellier of the north." In minutes that Cairnie kept he referred on one occasion to Largs sailing to Millport to play islanders whose curling stones were triangular.
Mr Copeland said: "Cairnie was an immense character in curling and he decided there was a need for a mother club with a set of rules. He chaired a meeting in 1838 to form the Royal Caledonian Club. He died in 1844 but Largs was the epicentre of the curling world." The speaker praised Largs for trying to bring youngsters into the sport because it could also attract their parents. He added that it was a great sport which could be played at any standard.
Mr Welsh led the toast to the Royal Caledonian Club.
In reply, Mr Bill Duncan, president of the RCCC said that he had stepped into the shoes of John Cairnie. In their own 175th anniversary year the national body had created a certificate of recognition and the first one was handed over to Largs to mark their 200th year.
Further presentations were made when long-serving former presidents John Menzies and Alan Cameron received honorary memberships from the club. Mr Welsh said they had supported the club through "thick and thin." After dinner speaker was Bert Thomson, former Scottish Wit of the Year, who provided excellent stand-up comedy.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Greetings, are you able to read any part of the notice when it appears on the screen? Where does it appear and what does it look like? Is it possible to record your screen with a video recorder when this happens then play it back and pause it when the notice appears? Dan
It is blue and the dell logo is on it. It comes up so fast I don't have a way to video it. It appears right in the middle of the screen
It also looks like it has a cd on it
What is it you are watching full screen? What program are you using?
If I am watching a movie on Net flix or if I am playing a game on facebook I will put it on full screen. It is popping up as we are chatting. :) I am trying to catch the darn thing so I can read it :) Deanna
The information I see says you use Google Chrome, have you tried another browser such as Firefox (preferred) or Internet Explorer?
No I could try that. Should I do that and see if that works?
Yes, please let me know what happens
Do I just close this chat and restart my computer with the other program?
You can bookmark this site to come back or just leave this open and try the other browser
Cool I will leave this open because I am not to sure how to bookmark :) I will try it. Thanks so much. I will get back to you.
Good luck
okay I tried Inter explorer and I don't have Firefox on my computer. Should I try to down load Firefox and see if that works. I wish I could read the pop up. It is kind of frustrating. :)
I assume IE didn't work either? Yes, try downloading Firefox. Is this a new issue? Has it worked before? What do you have for a computer?
No this is something new. My computer got a virus and had to be fixed. This just started happening. I thought maybe I could figure out how to fix it myself If I talked to someone without going back to the person who worked on it. I guess I better contact him and see if he knows what he did. That would probably be the smarter thing to do. :)
It might be that you need to change the screen resolution, if it is too low then it may default back to the window. The other possibility could be not having the right video driver installed. If neither of these suggestions help then yes, contact the person who worked on it. Depending on who did the work and their background experience they should be able to correct it. If not, you can come back to this conversation any time and we can continue. Dan
I have no idea what this means and how to do that :) I will contact the person who worked on my computer. Thanks so much for you help on this issue

Dole Food Co. has agreed to sell its worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses to Itochu Corporation of Tokyo, Japan for $1.685 billion.
The company announced the agreement Sept. 17, and a news release said the proposed deal is subject to stockholder approval and regulatory agreement in several countries.
"When we announced our strategic business review in May, we stated that we would review a broad range of strategic alternatives for our businesses with the goal of enhancing shareholder value," David DeLorenzo, Dole's president and chief executive officer, said in the release. "We believe this proposed transaction accomplishes that. We are realizing a premium valuation for our worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses and will retain a strong fresh produce business that has increased financial flexibility to grow."
Cash from the deal will be applied by the Westlake, Calif.-based Dole Food to debt reduction, deal-related expenses, restructuring and other purposes, according to the release.
Cost-savings resulting from the transaction and corporate restructuring are expected to result in savings of $50 million annually when they are implemented at the end of fiscal 2013.
Dole Worldwide Packaged Foods produces and markets canned pineapple, canned pineapple juice, fruit juice concentrate, fruit in plastic cups, jars and pouches, fruit parfaits, healthy snack foods and frozen fruit, according to the release. Meanwhile, Dole Asia Fresh Produce grows, sources, ships and distributes fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly in Asia, according to the release.
Together, the two businesses tallied $2.5 billion in sales in 2011, according to the release. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization for the businesses was about $190 million in 2011, excluding overhead.
The deal would give Itochu Corporation exclusive rights to the Dole trademark on packaged food products worldwide and on fresh produce in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, according to the release.
Dole Food plans to continue to operate its North American fresh vegetables business as well as its fresh fruit businesses in North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa, according to the release.
Together, those businesses generated about $4.2 billion in revenues in fiscal 2011.
Dole will continue to own the significant operating assets associated with these businesses, as well as non-core assets, including approximately 25,000 acres located in Oahu, Hawaii, the release said.
David Murdock, chairman of Dole, said in the release that the transaction will result in a "more focused Dole" that will still retain more than $4 billion in revenue and a rich asset base.
"With a substantial reduction in debt and the expected cost savings, Dole will also be well-positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities within the fresh produce category," Murdock said in the release.

burgtec offset shock bushings
Thinking of fitting burgatec offset shock bushings to increase the head angle to try and make make my 2012 five a slightly more capable climber. I have two questions: 1. Will it work to a worthwhile amount. & 2. What other effects will it have on handling and geometry.
03-05-13, 05:44 #2
How much is the stated change in HA? It's a bit academic until we know that. Although I thought they slackened the geometry?

@Stan it's a 1 degree increase in HA

Presuming that you want to stop the front being too light and wandery then weighting the front is the best way to go.
Expensive option - forks that plop to a shorter length just for the climbs.
Cheaper option - flatter bars.
Cheapest option - flip stem, increase shock pressure, or shift body position.
My World Cup Black Box Revs have the shorter thingy available, but I always forget it's there and get my body position shifted - forward on the seat until I fear being violated by the nose of the saddle, and as low as possible at the front.
Don't be one of those riders who adopt 'Riding Position #1' and never change it, where you put your weight has waaaay more effect than anything else on how your bike behaves.

First-ever Roman roof reconstruction completed at Herculaneum
Published on August 1st, 2012 | by Admin0
The roof of a Roman villa, thought to have belonged to a wealthy governor, has been reconstructed at the ancient city of Herculaneum.
For almost two millennia, the piles of wood lay undisturbed and largely intact under layers of hardened volcanic material. Now, after three years of painstaking work, archaeologists at Herculaneum have not only excavated and preserved the pieces, but worked out how they fitted together, achieving the first-ever full reconstruction of the timberwork of a Roman roof.
With several dozen rooms, the House of the Telephus Relief was "top-level Roman real estate", said Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, the director of the Herculaneum Conservation Project (HCP). It was more of a palace or mansion, thought to have been built for Marcus Nonius Balbus, the Roman governor of Crete and part of modern-day Libya, whose ostentatious tomb was found nearby.

PURPOSE: To evaluate visual impairment in Finnish Usher syndrome type 3 (USH3) and compare this with visual impairment in Usher syndrome types 1b (USH1b) and 2a (USH2a). METHODS: We carried out a retrospective study of 28 Finnish USH3 patients, 24 Dutch USH2a patients and 17 Dutch USH1b patients. Cross-sectional regression analyses of the functional acuity score (FAS), functional field score (FFS*) and functional vision score (FVS*) related to age were performed for all patients. The FFS* and FVS* were calculated using the isoptre V-4 test target instead of the usual III-4 target. Statistical tests relating to regression lines and Student's t-test were used to compare between USH3 patients and the other genetic subtypes of Usher syndrome. RESULTS: Cross-sectional analyses revealed significant deterioration in the FAS (1.3% per year), FFS* (1.4% per year) and FVS* (1.8% per year) with advancing age in the USH3 patient group. At a given age the USH3 patients showed significantly poorer visual field function than the USH2a patients. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of deterioration in visual function in Finnish USH3 patients was fairly similar to that in Dutch USH1b or USH2a patients. At a given age, visual field impairment in USH3 patients was similar to that in USH1b patients but poorer than in USH2a patients.

London - Bolton Wanderers' Fabrice Muamba has made a miraculous recovery after being "in effect dead" for 78 minutes following his cardiac arrest in Saturday's FA Cup quarterfinal, doctors said on Wednesday.
The Premier League club's doctor Jonathan Tobin told the BBC that 15 defibrillator shocks had failed to get the 23-year-old's heart beating in the hour after he collapsed on the pitch at Tottenham Hotspur.
"We were fearing the worst and didn't think we'd get the recovery we had. It's incredible," he said.
"It was 48 minutes when he collapsed to reaching hospital and a further 30 minutes after that. He was, in effect, dead at that time."
Tobin said he had gone out into the corridor and cried when the situation sank in after Muamba had arrived at the London Chest Hospital.
By Tuesday evening, however, the midfielder was sufficiently recovered to tell Tobin that he was feeling fine.
"I went to see Fabrice last night. I went in and he said 'Hi, doc'," Sky television quoted Tobin as saying. "I asked him how he was and he said 'Fine'."
Andrew Deaner, a consultant cardiologist at the London hospital who was at White Hart Lane as a spectator and ran on to the pitch to help, said he had also been astonished by the player's recovery.
"If I was ever going to use the term miraculous it could be used here. He has made a remarkable recovery so far," he told the BBC.
"Two hours after (he had regained consciousness) I whispered in his ear, 'What's your name?' and he said, 'Fabrice Muamba'. I said 'I hear you're a really good footballer' and he said 'I try'. I had a tear in my eye."
Deaner said Muamba's life was not in danger now but it was too early to say whether he would be able to play again. Sam Mohiddin, the cardiologist looking after the player, said however that "normal life is within the spectrum of possibility".
The match against Tottenham was abandoned at 1-1 just before halftime and has been rescheduled for next Tuesday.
The Sun newspaper quoted a family friend reporting that Muamba had asked who won the match when he regained consciousness.
"He was told the match was called off while the two teams were drawing 1-1," said Aime Esalo. "Fabrice asked why they had stopped it and his father said 'Because of you'." - Reuters

Get on the Ball: Abdominal Twist
I love using an exercise ball to tone my middle. The Bicycle Crunch is a great move, but if you're looking for a new one to try, here's one called Abdominal Twist. It's similar but targets your lower abs and obliques. It's one of my favorites to do while watching TV.
To see how to do this move,
- Stand in front of an exercise ball. Hold the ball with one hand (so it doesn't roll away) and lie down. Bend your knees and straddle the ball with your legs. Extend your arms next to the sides of your body with your palms facing down. Lift your feet off the ground so your toes are pointing up toward the sky, and gently squeeze either side of the ball to keep it in place.
- Before starting the exercise, draw your naval toward your spine to engage your abs. Then slowly rotate both knees to the right. Then come back to center, and rotate both knees to the left, and then come back to the center. This is one repetition.
- Complete three sets of 15 to 20 reps.

Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom, 2012/08/28 - Advanced Health & Care (Advanced), in partnership with Medway Community Healthcare, has been named a finalist in the 'Best use of mobile technology' category of the E-Health Insider (EHI) Awards 2012 - EHIAwards.com / AdvancedComputerSoftware.com.
This announcement follows two rounds of judging, with only the top six from the first round making it through to the final and deciding round. The winner will be announced during an awards ceremony at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London on 4 October 2012.
The EHI Awards reward excellence in healthcare IT. Judged by a panel of distinguished industry experts, the awards are testimony to the strength and vibrancy of the market and the excellent work being done in UK healthcare IT.
Advanced and Medway Community Healthcare's entry, which focuses on Medway's use of Advanced's patient management solution, iNurse, is one of five that have reached the final in the 'Best use of mobile technology' category.
iNurse enables community clinicians to record and communicate patient care information using Smartphones and tablet devices at the point of care. Medway Community Healthcare, based in Medway, North Kent, uses Advanced's iNurse to help care for more than 270,000 patients. The solution has helped to achieve significant time savings, improve clinical care and enhance staff safety.
Jim Chase, Managing Director of Advanced Health & Care says,"We are very pleased to reach the finals of these awards in partnership with Medway Community Healthcare, especially as this year's awards have been the most competitive yet."
Chase continues,"Medway's staff are using iNurse to retrieve and record key patient information whilst on the move, which is allowing them to more effectively manage their time and appointment planning across the Medway area. iNurse is key to the efficient, cost-effective and safe delivery of community care, and it is just a matter of time before mobile patient management solutions, such as iNurse, become commonplace in the community healthcare setting."

If I had to give up all my cookbooks and could only keep one, I would undoubtedly choose one by Jamie Oliver. Many home cooks would likely prefer something more monumental like the Joy of Cooking or Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I'm a loyal Jamie Oliver fan. Every time he writes a new cookbook, I can't wait to get my hands on it and, in the Naked Chef vernacular, "tuck in."
Why do I adore Jamie Oliver cookbooks so much? For one, Oliver has an engaging voice that keeps me excited about making dinner night after night. Second, his recipes simply don't fail. I can't think of a single recipe that wasn't successful and many dishes have been so good I've made them over and over again. I'm also drawn to Oliver for his efforts to give back. His Fifteen restaurants and Fifteen foundation train disadvantaged youth for a career in food, and his Feed Me Better campaign aims to improve school lunches in the UK.
Well, it should come as no surprise that I was delighted to discover that Oliver's seventh book hits stores this month. Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook has all the great features of his previous books, but this time Oliver also walks us through the basics of shopping for and cooking with great ingredients. In addition to 160 new recipes, the book is filled with heaps of helpful information on topics like sharpening knives, shopping for fish, freezing leftovers, dressing salads, making meringue, and more. Plus, all the proceeds Oliver earns will go directly to his Fifteen Foundation.
I'm still convinced that I would be fairly content with only a Jamie Oliver cookbook to work with, but now I think it should be Cook with Jamie.
Which cookbook would you choose over all others? Why?

Any chance of seeing your progress?
Omi1966 added a post in a topic Tamiya Ferrari Enzo in Metallic BlackJust makes you want to make engine sounds. Brrrrrrrrrrum brrrrrrrrrrrum. We'll done love the rear lenses
Omi1966 added a post in a topic ferrari 250 gtothanks guys hope your safe over in the usa your weather looks bad stay in and model
Omi1966 added a topic in Under Glassferrari 250 gtohello chaps. here is the completed revell ferrari 250 gto 1/24. now ive seen a few of these on the forums so i decided to try to get creative, i'm not one for dios but i thought why not! so my idea was to use as much of the kit as possible IE: kit (doh), spru's, box and odds and ends from the spares box. so the saying out of the box means box aswell. the base is made from the flat cardboard side and clued in the corners. the cobble stones are cut up box and theres over 500 on that little space AHHHHHH! not my brightest moment. the curb is a piece of polystyrene covered with larger bits of box to try to represent flag stones. the lamp post is a bit of sprue bent and bits added at the base and top, the actual lamp is clear spru clued together and sanded then some white clue to age it a touch. the round bit at the top is a drive sprocket from a 1/35 tiger tank cut and shaped with some aircraft wheels on the top for deco. normal hairspray weathering for the rust and some staic grass for effect. pleased how this came out. hope you enjoy it lads and lasses. this was fun. anyone up for the challenge id love to see the results. martin.

Omi1966 added a post in a topic 427 ac cobrathanks for all the compliments guys, the wood on the dash is just paint effect very easy to do with practice, as for the polishing i'm still learning the cobra has not been polished it is just klear gloss so im still very envious of the finishers i see on the forum, some day i might take the plunge with the polishes i have seen used on some of the finished models.
thanks again.
ill post some other pics of cars for your critical eye.
Omi1966 added a post in a topic 427 ac cobrai noticed that when i took the pics, Ray, thanks for mentioning it its back on the bench right now, thanks for the comments.
Omi1966 added a topic in Under Glass427 ac cobrahi im new too the forum so i thought would post something i have just finished, not up to some of the standards you guys are setting on here but im pleased with the out come.
thanks for looking.
very few of the kits decals were used on this, it has a custom colour paint job with peralex added which really sparkles in the sun light. lots of bits added, ht leads all the chrome was stripped and replaced with alcad chrome, the stripe is finished in a satin finish, carpet is flocking sprayed dark sea grey and the standard seat belts made from tamiya tape and PE buckles.
hope you like and thanks for looking.

Microsoft uses Bing search data for Super Bowl purposes
When it comes to American Football, I am a big fan of the Jets. This is a great tragedy in my life, as this team has been consistently bad for many years. There is only one time a year that I will support a different team -- Superbowl Sunday.
Yes, I like to pick one of the two teams to root for during the big game. Typically, I pick it arbitrarily -- whoever has the prettier cheerleaders, cooler quarterback, etc. This year, I am rooting for the Denver Broncos, because I like Peyton Manning. As a Jets fan, I don't get many opportunities to root for a quality quarterback. However, according to Bing, I am in the minority, as the majority of my state, New York is rooting for the Seattle Seahawks.
"This Sunday is shaping up to be one of the biggest match-ups in recent football memory. To get a sense for what is on people's minds ahead of the game we delved into the Bing index to measure what you have been searching for as it relates to the two teams. The results may surprise you", says the Bing Team.
The team further explains, "we looked to see if there was any correlation between search volume for the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks based on where people live. The results came back with Seattle capturing searches in 33 states and Denver capturing the remaining 17. Though the percentages are generally evenly divided indicating that Sunday's game is shaping up to be a great match".
The results of Microsoft's findings can be seen in the below map:
The states with the largest majorities are either the home to one of the teams, or near it (Hawaii and Alaska excluded, of course). Surprisingly, nowhere on the East Coast does a state even break 60 percent. Looking at the Unites States as a whole, the Seahawks received 26 percent more searches. However, a real disparity is seen regarding searches for each team's quarterback -- Manning gets 72 percent of searches.
How do you match up to the rest of your state? Are you in the majority or minority? Tell me your state and the team you are rooting for in the comments below.

New functionalities in ANSYS 15.0 provide enhancements to its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offerings. Thanks to smart optimization technologies, faster solver speed, improved parallel scalability, intuitive geometry functionality and parallel meshing technologies, users of ANSYS 15.0 for fluid dynamics will be able to design new products faster and more accurately, the company says.
The adjoint solver now supports larger problems with meshes up to 30 million cells. The core functionality of the adjoint energy equation has been implemented in a way that observables can be defined as various integrals of heat flux and temperature, including averages and variances. As a result, the adjoint solver can now be used in problems where heat exchange maximization or heat loss reduction is a key design goal.
ANSYS 15.0 provides numerous solver speed improvements. For example, simulations of immiscible fluid using the volume-of-fluid model are up to 36 percent faster. Transient Eulerian multiphase flow simulations are also accelerated thanks to adaptive time-stepping support. Dynamic combustion mechanism reduction can lead to simulation up to seven times faster with large chemical mechanisms, the company says.
ANSYS 15.0 multi-layer shell conduction simplifies thermal management simulations and speeds up the overall workflow, avoiding the need to volume-mesh very thin material surfaces, the company says. Anisotropic thermal conductivity behavior for solid materials can also now be modeled. The surface-to-surface radiation model supports non-conformal meshes. This provides more flexibility in meshing both large fluid volumes together with thin fabricated structures, also helping to speed up the time to solution.
Multiphysics simulations are easier to setup and run thanks to the introduction of 2-way thermal and 2-way thermal with force/displacement with ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Mechanical via system coupling, the company says. This solution fully automates simulations that were previously extremely time consuming to setup and perform.
Pre-processing complex CAD geometry is faster via the introduction of advanced diagnostic and repair tools that guide the user when dealing with problematic geometries. Geometry problems like holes and gaps are automatically detected and can be remedied with limited manual intervention. Major speed and memory use improvements have been implemented for all meshing methods. In addition, parallel meshing delivers reductions in mesh generation time.
ANSYS also announced improvements in its electronics offerings in release 15.0
"At ANSYS, we predict real-world product performance using fast, accurate and reliable simulation," said Larry Williams, director of product management. "Our new release allows engineers to analyze electrical performance of smartphone circuit boards, stealth aircraft, and even the noise made by a washing machine."
The solution includes new multiphysics analysis for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) for electric machines and other electromechanical devices.
For high-frequency electromagnetics, advanced phi meshing for 3D electrical CAD/layout is optimized for meshing silicon substrates, redistribution layers, electronic packages, and printed circuit boards and advances the ANSYS HFSS 3D electrical layout design. This customized environment automates the process of preparing electrical layout data of printed circuit board (PCB), electronic packages and custom integrated circuits for analysis using HFSS. The Phi meshing technology augments this design flow by creating initial 3D meshes up to 30 times faster than previous releases while increasing capacity and reliability of meshing very complex ECAD geometry, the company says.
A new product, SIWave-DC, targeting the DC analysis of low-voltage, high-current PCB and IC packages, allows critical end-to-end voltage margins to be assessed to ensure reliable power delivery. It quickly identifies areas of excess current density and thermal hot spots to reduce risk of field failure. SIwave-DC is the first product to be released in an ongoing development project to deliver complete signal integrity and power integrity solutions. Additional products will be released with ANSYS 15.1 in early 2014.
A new multiphysics work flow that couples ANSYS Maxwell with ANSYS Mechanical allows electromagnetic force calculated by Maxwell to ANSYS Mechanical's Structural Dynamic solver to evaluate the frequency spectrum of displacements and further compute the Acoustic Field.
Datakit Added to ANSYS Translation Suite
In addition, ANSYS has licensed the Datakit translation technology in its ANSYS translation products.
ANSYS is using Datakit technology to extend the range of CAD formats supported and to improve translation capabilities in the ANSYS geometry interface offerings. New geometry interfaces for JT and Catia V6 leveraging Datakit technology were introduced with the ANSYS 15.0 release in December. These are standalone interfaces that may be used without a locally installed CAD system.
"We're very excited to have ANSYS license our data exchange technology," said Francis Cadin, CEO of Datakit. "Datakit is committed to providing the best in translation technology for CAD/CAM/CAE software vendors and ANSYS' selection of Datakit technology reflects the quality of technology and support we have achieved based on this commitment."

Further spills in an overheated fine-dining sector are expected after some well-known restaurants recently closed their doors – several finding their rents too high – setting the table for a big rationalisation.
Justin and Georgia North are the latest restaurateurs to throw in the towing, appointing administrator Ferrier Hodgson to restructure their dining portfolio, including flagship restaurant Bécasse, which they opened at Westfield Sydney in 2011.
The venture cost the couple $4 million, including a $2 million, five-year loan from National Australia Bank.
Tony Bilson's three-hatted restaurant Bilson's collapsed last year, as did Perth's Star Anise after 13 years, and Tobie Puttock's Melbourne eatery, The Kitchen Cat, after 13 months.
When Montpellier Public House closed in Sydney last month, owner Matt Kemp predicted "carnage" as more restaurants went under. The Manly Pavilion, which had a $8 million fit-out ahead of opening two years ago, closed last month with debts of $590,000.
Bécasse's Mr North said he would work with the administrator and "look after our staff and creditors as much as possible". But some of the group's businesses were likely close.
"The idea of this process is to restructure to suit the climate we are in now," he said.
"The second phase is in restructuring the business, getting external investment and then moving forward with a lot stronger foundation to what we've had previously."
Restaurant consultant Jonn Close said the sector should prepare for a "major adjustment".
"The number of restaurants and coffee shops will dramatically reduce, then the market price for food and beverage will be adjusted accordingly to a level which is going to provide a realistic return for investors in the business," Mr Close said.
Three main factors could contribute to the demise of restaurants: exorbitant rent, rising costs and lack of business acumen. High-end landlords attracted signature chefs by paying the majority of the fit-out costs. But this had to be repaid pro rata for the term of the lease, Mr Close said.
"It's a noose around their neck," he said. "They're an indentured slave to the landlord for the term of the lease, whether they're making money or not."
The problem was exacerbated because "celebrity chefs' fame and reputation is based on gastronomic skill, not necessarily their business acumen". But the biggest problem was rising costs. General expenses are expected to "go through the roof" with the carbon tax, he said.
"The bottom line is the sums aren't adding up any more in running a legitimate business."
David Tsirekas, who opened Greek restaurant Xanthi at Westfield Sydney a year ago after closing Perama in Petersham after 18 years, said he got a "fantastic deal" when he signed his 10-year lease. He wouldn't reveal the financial arrangement but said "for me to develop Perama into what i've got here at Xanthi would have cost me far greater"."I had everyone saying to me 'beware of the big, bad wolf' but I'm an adult. We can all say no."
Also unfazed is Simon Goh, who also opened Chinta Ria Mood For Love at Westfield Sydney. Mr Goh said working in the "middle echelon" of the market meant the restaurant still had its followers.
"Westfield are pretty good to us. I have worked with landlords and it's safe to say they've been reciprocating," he said.

Pork Confit Pie with Creme Fraiche Potatoes and Puff Pastry (via Pork & Sons Cookbook) | Pie Month
Pie #1 - Lemon Cream Icebox Pie
Pie #2 - Malted Crisp Tart
Pie #4 - Peanut Butter Cream Pie with Chocolate Whipped Cream
Pie #5 - Butterscotch Cream Pie with Gingersnap Crust and Cashew Brittle
Pie #6 - Banana Cream Pie with Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust
Pie #7 - Chocolate Kahlua Pie
Pie #8 - Bacon and Egg Pizza
There are some impossible pies for me. Pies that develop their own myth in my mind, of greatness and potential and memory.
And with all great pies, and myths, a quest must be undertaken. To slay the dragon. And in this case, the quest was for a three-day pie. And duck fat. Two pounds of duck fat.
Duck fat isn't easy to find. I visited three grocery stores in the area that pride themselves on stocking the best products possible. No duck fat. I called two more. No duck fat.
I called four butchers in NJ and NYC. No duck fat. I went to the giant Whole Foods in Columbus Circle. No duck fat.
Finally, I called Wegman's. Spoke with their meat department. The really great guy on the other end of the line said they special order their duck fat from D'Artagnan. "Maybe you could call them. They're in Newark."
Wait, a minute, there's a warehouse of duck fat fifteen minutes from our house? Why had no one told me of this magical land?
I placed my order for a whole lot of duck fat. They told me I could pick it up later that day (more some other time on how wonderful the people of D'Artagnan are and the tour I got of the facility).
And then I was swimming in duck fat.
Now on to the three-day pie...
Ever since we picked up the book Pork & Sons by Stéphane Reynaud, we've been smitten. The book chronicles butchering hogs in France. I grew up in Indiana (which one might describe as a long way from France), sometimes slaughtering animals, and a hog was butchered nearly every year. And I've always had my eye on Reynaud's Pork Confit Pie. It seemed rustic and extravagant all at the same time, pork preserved in fat, topped with potatoes in creamy fat, encrusted in puff pastry which is essentially flour and butter. Fat upon fat upon fat. I've stared at that pie recipe in the book over the last few years, wondering what it must taste like.
It takes three days, this pie. One for the making the pork confit. Another day to let the confit mellow. And another day to bake it. You can make the pork confit and let it mellow for days. Or weeks even. Then make the pie when you're ready.
Here's how it tastes....like deep, deep love. And care and craft and savory+sweet perfection. This pie heals parts of you that you didn't know were hurting. It is shocking and mellow and makes you raise your hands in the air in victory with the very first bite.
Some quests are worth it. This three-day pie is worth it. Duck fat and all.
Make this for family. Or the friends who are closest to you. This pie is too special to share with just anybody.
recipe | Pork Confit Pie with Creme Fraiche Potatoes and Puff Pastry (via Pork & Sons Cookbook)
- 1¼ pounds of boneless fatty pork shoulder
- 1¼ pounds of pork belly
- 1¼ cups of sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (you can use regular if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled
- 2 pounds duck fat (we used D'Artagnan brand)
- 1½ pounds of pork lard
- 2-4 jars for storage
Place them into an 8x8 inch baking dish (or whatever you need to closely nestle the meat together without overcrowding).
Mix together the sugar, salt, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf crumbles.
Sprinkle over the meat. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Uncover the meat and wipe each piece with a damp paper towel. Get most, but not all, of the sugar and spice off.
Melt the duck fat and pork lard in a large pan over low heat. You have to keep this at a low heat, so don't be tempted to raise the heat initially to turn it down later. Keep it low and don't touch it. Sorry, that was very bossy.
Once the fats are melted, add the eight pieces of meat and cook gently for 2 hours. You know the meat is done when you can insert a smooth knife blade with nearly no resistance.
Place a bit of liquid fat into the bottom of each jar. Place two pieces of meat (one of belly, one of shoulder) into each of the jars. Use the remaining fat to cover the meat completely.
We stored ours in the refrigerator, where they will keep for weeks if not months. We let ours sit for 24 hours to fully rest and prepare for their next stage of awesome.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced ¼ inch thick
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 pound 2 ounces (or so) of pork confit, coarsely chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons basil, chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons thyme, chopped finely
- 2-3 tablespoons of chives, chopped finely
- 5-6 large potatoes (use any kind you want, we used Russet) peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 cup crème fraiche (you could substitute full fat sour cream, but don't)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pound puff pastry, thawed
- A little flour for rolling out the puff pastry
- 1 egg yolk, beaten lightly
- Salt and pepper

Dozens of major manufacturers make plastic laminate for use on cabinets and countertops. Arborite is a Canadian company that offers a full line of laminate products. All laminates share common characteristics in their makeup and the way they respond to tools. The tool used for cutting depends on the step you are working on in the multistage installation process. Rough-cut laminate first, then seam or trim it and, finally, finish the edge.
Rough Cutting
Most craftsmen like to cut laminate pieces about 1/2 inch larger all around than the install face. This provides room for alignment once the contact cement is ready. The best and fastest tool for the job is a table with a fine tooth blade. Set the depth to about 1 inch, so that more of the teeth are in contact with your material than at a deeper setting. This provides a smoother cut with less chipping. The next best way is the low-tech method of using a utility knife and straight edge to score the laminate's back, then snapping it off along a table edge.
In some cases, you must cut a piece to match up to another surface directly. This is the case when refitting an existing counter top along the back edge. Use a router with a flush cut bit to make this cut. Clamp a straight-edged board, or metal straight edge underneath the laminate for the bearing to ride along and cut the edge from right to left. Small seams can be made by scoring with a utility knife and breaking. This only works well for cuts in pieces narrower than 12 inches, as chipping along the edge is common when snapping scored laminate.
Once you have applied the contact cement and your laminate is in place, cut the excess off flush with the mounting material, or substrate. Use a router with a flush-cut bearing bit for best results. Set the depth to 1/4 inch, so that the bearing will ride just under the bottom of the laminate against the edge of the substrate. Move the router counterclockwise around the face. Use a file to remove this edge, but be aware it is very time-consuming and results will not be as good. Run the file vertically, with one edge cutting the laminate as the face of the file rides against the edge of the substrate.
Typical countertop installations will have an edge piece, with the top installed above it. This seam requires a finish cut to smooth out the edge and prevent it from being snagged and pulled loose. You can use a laminate trimmer, which is essentially a small router with a specialized base and guide fence, with a small cove bit to round this edge over. This arrangement requires a brand new or freshly sharpened bit, and a very careful alignment of the guide fence to get good results. The best method is to use a mill bastard file set at a 45 degree angle to the edge, with its top angled 45 degrees to the right. Run the file from left to right with light pressure to trim the edge and bevel it in one cut.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Good Morning Mr Reilly,
Thanks for your answer. It was greatly appreciated. My boyfriend will be contacting them today. Can you please tell me how I can get access to the phone records. This will show the 70-75 times this person has called our phone number. I was told that I needed a subpeona. Is that true?
Thanks You !
If a criminal case is filed, his attorney will be able to obtain the records by subpoena; or if the DA obtains them for the prosecution, the defendant gets copies through discovery.
If no criminal charges are filed, a civil suit will have to be filed to subpoena the phone records for another person's phone.
However, you should be able to obtain your own phone records without a subpoena, including records of incoming calls. You do not need a subpoena to obtain your own records.
My phone bill shows the numbers from which incoming calls were made. Doesn't yours?
No it doesn't have a list of incoming LOCAL calls. I thought that I had mention it before Mr Reillu. I was told that I had to get a subpeona to request a record of my incoming calls. i know that it may sound strange but that was what I was told. They stated it's other peoples records. How stupid is that. They are calling me, why shouldn't I know.. Thanks for your assistance.
Mr Reilly,

text: Close to 120 workers will be on the breadline when the Silver Sands Resort in Christ Church closes its doors permanently at the end of this month. The DAILY NATION understands that management said the decision was taken after heavy financial losses in the current economic downtown. Originally, the workers who were sent home at the start of July were expected to be back on the job after three months, but since then management at the resort has notified those working at the facility that come September 30, the hotel would be closed permanently. As a result of the closure of the resort, which has been operating for nearly 40 years, reservationists, bartenders, waitresses and receptionists, some of whom may have been working there for 30 years of more, will have to be looking for jobs. Efforts to reach manager Randall Ward and financial controller Sonia Gittens to obtain a comment were unsuccessful. And when the DAILY NATION visited the resort late yesterday evening, the only persons on the compound were the guard and a poolman, who was busy cleaning the pool. The sprawling 131-room resort, which opens out onto the beach, was still in immaculate condition. When contacted last night, Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy confirmed that the hotel would be closed, but said he was unsure if it would reopen any time soon. He said information also suggested that it might be going up for sale and that there were other "extenuating circumstances involved". "So I'm monitoring the situation. It is a significant hotel, a very established hotel that has been around for some time now, and my heart is with the 120 employees that will be affected," he stated. Sealy said when the economy took a downturn one of the things Government had tried to do was to minimise the impact of these crises on workers. "That was the whole thinking behind the Tourism Relief Fund set up in 2009. It was to protect the workers, and the Silver Sands Resort was a beneficiary of that fund, so I hope that we can get the hotel back up and running soon," he said. (CT)

As a prosthodontist, I know that the most important factors to survive oral cancer are early detection and diagnosis," Dr. Saj Jivraj said.
Oxanrd, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2014
Oral cancer kills one American every hour, every day. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness month, Dr. Saj Jivraj and Dr. Mamaly Reshad of the Anacapa Dental Art Institute in Woodland Hills and Oxnard, Calif. want to remind everyone to schedule an oral cancer screening.
"Early detection still is the best weapon that a patient can choose to fight oral cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends a comprehensive oral evaluation and soft tissue exam annually, yet only one in five patients follow through," Dr. Jivraj said. "As a prosthodontist, I know that the most important factors to survive oral cancer are early detection and diagnosis."
The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is changing the face of oral cancer patients – striking younger people and more nonsmokers.
"As a prosthodontist, I screen for and diagnose oral diseases, including cancer in the head, neck and throat," Dr. Jivraj said. "After an oral cancer diagnosis, I work to improve my patient's outcome. If you are diagnosed with oral cancer, find a prosthodontist to get a dental evaluation before any cancer treatment begins."
From diagnosis and management of the effects of dental disease, prosthodontists also gain expertise in how the effects of treatment for oral cancer may impact your ability to chew, speak and swallow.
This week, April 6-12, is National Prosthodontics Awareness Week. Award-winning prosthodontists Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Reshad are marking the occasion and Oral Cancer Awareness Month by educating the public about the benefits of seeing a prosthodontist.
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, a prosthodontist is a specialized dentist with advanced training in oral health issues. They are committed to improving patient results with all dental care.
Additional training for prosthodontists is earned through a two- or three-year hospital or university‐based program accredited by the American Dental Association. The training includes review of the literature, lectures, treatment of patients and laboratory experience in fabricating restorations.
Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.
Graduate programs in prosthodontics include classroom lectures and seminars, laboratory and clinical training in esthetics/cosmetics, crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, complete and removable partial dentures, dental implants, TMD‐jaw joint problems, traumatic injuries to the mouth's structures, congenital or birth anomalies to teeth, snoring, sleep disorders, and oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care. Prosthodontists are masters of complete oral rehabilitation.
"A prosthodontist is dedicated to the highest standards of care in the restoration and replacement of teeth," Dr. Reshad said.
Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Reshad completed three years of Advanced Prosthodontic training at the University of Southern California.
These "smile makers" perform advanced and complicated procedures outside the means and expertise of general dentists. They have the intense training and 20 years' experience to diagnose and treat problems as part of an overall dental treatment program
National Prosthodontics Awareness Week raises awareness of prosthodontists' place as quarterback of a patient's dental health team.
A prosthodontist may work with a team of dental professionals to create a comprehensive treatment plan for patients. Prosthodontists are dedicated to the highest standards of care in the restoration and replacement of teeth including bridges, crowns/caps, teeth whitening methods and veneers.
Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Reshad specialize in implant, cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. They are former chairmen of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry's Fixed Prosthodontics and Operative Dentistry section.
Dr. Jivraj is an international lecturer and has written more than two dozen articles on implant and restorative dentistry for the British Dental Association.
Dr. Reshad has been published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks on topics related to prosthodontics, aesthetics and implant dentistry. He is on the editorial board for the Journal of Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry. He is an honorary clinical teacher at the Eastman Dental Institute and a member of the faculty of the Global Institute for Dental Education.
The Anacapa Dental Art Institute has specialized in prosthodontic, implant, cosmetic and restorative dentistry since 1996. Anacapa also offers gentle dental care treatments for patients aged 50 and above.
The Anacapa Dental Art Institute opened two new state-of-the-art dental offices and training centers in Oxnard and Woodland Hills, Calif., this year.
The Oxnard location, 2821 North Ventura Road, Bldg H, has 3,600 square feet encompassing six treatment rooms, a fully in-house dental lab and a state-of-the-art teaching center. The Woodland Hills office, 6325 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, No. 513, is 1,500 square feet and it features an in-house dental lab catering to patients in and around Los Angeles.
The Anacapa Dental Art Institute has an 11-person staff, including Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Reshad, a root canal specialist, a general dentist, two hygienists, three dental assistants and two receptionists.
The Anacapa Dental Art Institute provides the following procedures:
● All-on-Four (All on 4) dental implants
● All-on-Six (All on 6) dental implants
● Mini dental implants
● Teeth in a Day
● Teeth in an Hour
● Sedation dentistry
● Cosmetic dentures ("facelift")

DENVER — A report released Monday shows more children in Colorado were living in poverty in 2012 than during the worst part of the recession.
The Colorado Children's Campaign's annual report showed 224,000 children — 18 percent — lived in poverty in the state in 2012. The poverty rate is defined as annual income below $23,000 for a family of four.
During the height of the recession, 210,000 children in the state were living in poverty.
In the latest report, those younger than 6 are most likely to be in poverty and the areas of concentrated poverty (higher than 30 percent) has more than quadrupled since 2000.
"One in six Colorado children still lives in poverty, years after the recession officially ended," said Chris Watney, President and CEO of the Colorado Children's Campaign. "We've made some steady progress in areas like improving access to quality health care and education, but poverty is a powerful influence on child well-being. If we don't reverse this trend, we may start losing ground in areas we've worked so hard to address."

Rolls-Royce's factory near Seletar Airport is up and running, producing approximately 50 Trent 900s per year, while gearing up to add other engine types to its production line, beginning with the Trent 1000.
Inaugurated during the 2012 Singapore Airshow, the assembly and test unit is described as a sister facility to Rolls-Royce Derby (UK) operation. By the end of 2013, the Seletar campus had delivered more than 50 Trent 900s (the engine that powers the Airbus A380). "By mid-2014, we will be ready to begin production of Trent 1000s, the engine for the Boeing 787," a Rolls-Royce Singapore spokesperson told AIN. The combined production rate is planned to reach the full capacity of 250 engines a year by early 2016.
More than U.S.$11.5 billion of the new orders received during 2013 were from Rolls-Royce's customers in Asia and the Middle East. "Our facility in Seletar has allowed us to increase production to cater to growing demand," the spokesperson added. Rolls-Royce has more than 650 employees on site, 90 percent of whom are Singaporeans and permanent residents.
The fan blade manufacturing facility is currently nearing 35 percent capacity. It is the first outside the UK to produce Rolls-Royce's wide-chord, hollow titanium blades. "With the start of production of Trent XWB blades from early 2014, the facility is on track to reach full capacity of 6,000 blades per year by 2015," the spokesperson said. Phase 2 of capacity expansion will be for around 7,600 blades in 2016.
Other activities at the Rolls-Royce Seletar campus are now in full swing, too, including research and training. The campus' regional training center opened in 2011. Since then, more than 9,000 man-days of training have been completed. "We offer 400 different modules in the regional training center," the spokesperson said.
Another component of the campus is the advanced technology center. Research agreements have been signed with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the National University of Singapore. Currently, some 35 employees from Rolls-Royce and 15 from A*STAR and local universities work in the technology center, which also provides internship opportunities to local university and polytechnic students.
The advanced technology center has developed manufacturing technologies that allow product cycle time to be reduced by "over 50 percent." Another focus has been to eliminate all health and safety risks resulting from automating a labor- and time-intensive polishing process the company also employs for ship propeller blades. The latter technology has now been implemented at Rolls-Royce's Kristinehamn factory in Sweden.
With IHI and Siemens, Rolls-Royce is establishing the "advanced remanufacturing and technology center," scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2014 at CleanTech II, a new development located near the campus of NTU. It will be owned by A*STAR in partnership with NTU. The technology focus is on repair and restoration, surface modification and product verification.
Finally, Rolls-Royce has agreed with NTU to establish the S$75 million ($60 million) "Rolls-Royce@NTU corporate lab." Supported by the National Research Foundation, the new laboratory will focus on three core areas of research: electric power and control systems; manufacturing and repair technologies; and computational engineering.o

I was wondering, who is allowed to perform an ear, nose and throat surgery on children? Can a General Pediatric Surgeon perform such procedures?
Who Can Perform an Ear Surgery?
Doctor Answers 11
Qualifications to perform otoplasty
An ENT with pediatric experience is best
An ENT (ear, nose, throat doctor) with pediatric experience is best. Make sure he is board-certified Otolaryngologist and not just calling himself a 'cosmetic surgeon'
Who can do Otoplasty Surgery?
I would ask that you make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon or a board certified ENT doctor. In addition to the board certification, you need to make sure they have lots of experience with this type of surgery. Ask to see photos and also speak with other patients who have had the procedure performed. I agree that doing some research re: hospital privileges will possibly prevent you from going with a non-qualified surgeon and taking additional risk.

Otoplasty Surgeons
A well trained Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, ENT, or Plastic Surgeon should have experience in Otoplasty. Contact your pediatrician for a recommendation. Best of luck!

Who can perform otoplasty surgery?
Both board certified ENT and plastic surgeons can perform these surgeries, but check with your local hospital to make sure they have privileges to do so. Also, make sure he/she does a lot of of them. I would say more than 15-20/ year is a lot.
Good luck.
Pediatric otolaryngologist perform ear surgery for children
Most ear, nose, and throat doctors (otolaryngologist) have done ear surgery on children. A pediatric otolaryngologist or facial plastic surgeon can also perform these types of procedures. Look for someone who has performed many of the ear procedure that you are requiring to have done.

A board certified plastic surgeon or a board certified facial plastic surgeon
You need to see a board certified plastic surgeon or a board certified ENT surgeon with experience in this kind of surgeries (Board certified facial plastic surgeon). There are many so call "cosmetic" surgeons that will probably tell you that there are qualified for these kind of procedure, however the only board in plastic surgery recognized by the american board of medical specialties (ABMS) is the American board of plastic surgery. The american Board of Facial Plastic surgery is also recognized as a subspecialty of ENT by the ABMS.
Ear pinning surgery
The best way to know if your surgeon is qualified to do a procedure is to see if they have hospital privileges to do the same procedure. Hospitals check board certification, peer evaluations, surgical case experience logs, and disciplinary actions prior to granting privileges. This is the first step. Next I would question the surgeons experience and ask if they have other patients who are willing to share their experience.
Pediatric Ear Surgery
It truly depends on the type of procedure needed. For most procedures in the head and neck region, a board certified Otolaryngologist (head and neck surgeon) who is fellowship trained in pediatric Otolaryngology is your best bet. These surgeons exclusively deals with issues in this region, and only deal with the pediatric population. In some institutions pediatric otolaryngologists are not available, and general pediatric surgeons provide the surgical coverage for head and neck procedures. If these individuals have much experience in the head and neck they should be able to help you as well. Good Luck, Dr. Corrado

text: Hello out there, as some of you may have noticed, I gave a talk together with Joachim about xindy at the EuroTeX'98 conference in St. Malo, March, 30th. On March, 31st we had a BOF session about xindy where we discussed several issues how xindy can be further improved and extended. The most important results from this session and some other issues are as follows: - Improvement of LaTeX support in the future. This mostly concerns a LaTeX style file that writes the index entries into the .aux files. Additionally, we think about LaTeX macros that write information about the document itself (such as encodings and language) into the .aux file as well. This enables one to add index style definitions into the LaTeX source, instead of a completely separate index style file, which seems to be one of the greatest hurdles for the acceptance of xindy. - Support for input filters. Many have asked for such a feature. This allows to tag index entries from the raw index with an additional atttribute, indicating the index class the index entry belongs to. xindy will be extended to accept only those index entries that belong to the selected classes. My current suggestion is to add a new option :CLASS <string> to the INDEXENTRY command to indicate the class of an index entry. Additionally, we need another index style command such as (INPUT-FILTER (<list-of-class-names>)) that defines the set of class names to accept. This specification should be made available to the command line options of xindy as well. - Hans Hagen asked for a way to pass data attachments through the indexing process into the tagged index. This would enable xindy to process glossaries (with the glossary text as a data attachment) and sort the entries with xindy. Several small problems have to be solved to implement such a scheme. My suggestion is to add data in the form of a dictionary of keyword/value pairs in the raw index interface. The question is whether data should be attached to location references or index entries or both. Any ideas are welcome. This dictionary asks how the mark-up of this data in the backend should be implemented. I have some ideas how to realize this, but this will need some time. - Add new hooks in the sorting process to allow sorting rules that can be applied only once at the beginning of the rewriting procedure. - Further simplification of the installation procedure. - Re-structuring of the documentation. - many other things to do.... Hope, that gives you an impression what is planned for the future.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Well,we are filing a joined petition for the divorce. My husband agrees to keep his debts (credit cards in his name) and I agree to keep my debts (credit cards in my name). Now, he wants to file bankrupcy after the divorce. Are the credit card companies going to force me to pay my share of the debts even if we are divorce at the time? Response 1: They may try because you live in a community property state and assets and debts acquired or incurred during the marriage are considered community property and community debts. Both parties share equally in the assets and debts even if the assets or properties may be under one spouse's name. The reason being that assets and debts were acquired and incurred for the benefit of the family. You may use your divorce agreement, which will be approved by the Court, as a defense to any attempts by your husband's creditors to get you to pay his debts. How can I protect myself? What is the best thing that I can put in the divorce paper that would protect me? Response 2: Husband is responsible for debts in his name and wife is responsible for the debts in her name. Wife is relinquishing her rights to certain property and in return Husband agrees that Wife will not be responsible for any debts incurred by the Husband during the marriage. There is a property that he is keeping and is stated in the joined petition. Can I use that as a way of saying that i did not ask for a half of the property because that was my way of contributing to the debts that we had wile married? Response 3. Yes, but this will not stop the debt collectors from trying to contact you to collect the debt because they are not part of the agreement with your husband. However, the divorce agreement may be used to file a claim against your husband for breaching his agreement to pay off his debts if his creditors start harassing you. What is best to do? Response 4: If the debts are quite substantial, you might consider filing for bankruptcy protection. You and your husband can suspend the divorce proceeding, file joint bankruptcy petition. Then after the bankruptcy case is over, continue with your divorce case.

CLEARWATER — Police Chief Sid Klein announced he will delay his retirement by almost a month to help his eventual replacement transition into the job.
His new retirement date will be Feb. 26. He was originally going to retire in January.
Klein, who has been Clearwater's chief since 1981, will have a role in picking his successor.
A field of 11 candidates for the job — culled from a field of 102 applicants — will visit Clearwater on Nov. 16 and 17 for interviews with Klein and other city officials. The city will then cut the list down to three finalists. Officials intend to have a new chief in place before Klein leaves.

Glittering 'Gita'
On the battlefield, a warrior grapples with despair. He's certain his cause is just. A rival family has stolen his family's kingdom, but the price he must pay to regain it is too high. Many of his friends and relatives fight on the side of his rival, and killing his kinsmen would be wrong. So Arjuna lays down his bow and declares he will not fight.
But his charioteer counsels him otherwise, telling him that a person must do his duty no matter how unpleasant it may be. The charioteer is Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, and his dialogue with Arjuna comprises the 700-verse poem, the "Bhagvad Gita." Krishna's teachings reveal a mixture of practical advice, noble sentiments, a path to self-realization, and for many followers of the Hindu religion, a true historical account of a civil war in ancient India between the Kauravas and Arjuna's people, the Pandavas.
Written between 400 BC and 100 AD, the "Bhagvad Gita" is the best-known chapter of the Mahabharata, an immense Indian epic that is probably the longest poem in all of literature. On the sheer narrative level, the "Bhagvad Gita" bursts at the seams with unexpected plot twists, ethical puzzles, and larger-than-life characters. Too vivid to be confined to the pages of a book, it has been presented in many forms over the centuries, from the shadow-puppet performances of Bali to films, CDs, the theater, and dance.
"Bhagvad Gita"
Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, 1770 Monroe St., Hollywood
Performed by the Shakti Dance Company at 6 p.m. Sunday, April 6. Tickets cost $20 to $30. Call 954-924-8175.
The ballet interpretation by the Shakti Dance Company strips down the complexity by concentrating on a single theme that runs throughout the text. "It is not an entire "Bhagvad Gita" rendition or delineation verse to verse, nor is it a rendition of the stories of the Mahabharata," explains Viji Prakash, the production's artistic director and founder of the Shakti School of Bharata Natyam. Instead, her ballet concentrates on the concept of injustice, choosing a scene from each of the "Gita"'s 18 chapters that illustrates an example of the oppression of good by evil and setting that particular injustice to spectacular solo and ensemble dance accompanied by traditional Indian music.

"Take the plight of Draupadi, the Pandava queen, who was liberated and honored as a woman," Prakash says. In the play, she is hauled before the Karauva court, dramatically disrobed, and insulted. This ancient injustice has parallels in modern times, according to Prakash. "Equality, women's rights, and the emancipation of modern times are nullified in the vulnerability of women as we read about the heinous rapes, abuse, and violence that women undergo each day."
Call the Shakti Dance Company's energetic ballet "Riverdance with aP conscience." Spectacular choreography, stunning costumes, and imaginative stage effects join forces with a mixture of Hindustani and Carnatic musical genres. Precision dancers slap bare feet on the stage with ankle bells ringing and arms swinging the showy South Indian dance style known as Bharata Natyam. "Bharata Natyam interprets life, communicates feelings, explores rhythm, and delineates the essence of bhava [physical being] through facial expressions, through subtle eye movements, intense footwork, and hand gestures," she explains. Sitar legend Ravi Shankar, father of Grammy-winning singer Norah Jones, recently told Prakash, "Of all the dance productions of yours that I have seen, your 'Bhagvad Gita' is the best."
Shankar's sister, Lakshmi Shankar, is principal vocalist for the performance, singing verses of the "Gita" in the Tamil, Sanskrit, and Marathi languages. Best-known for her ethereal singing on the soundtrack of Richard Attenborough's 1982 Academy Award-winning film Gandhi, Shankar is accompanied by Mahesh Swamy on flute and the sarod-like veena lute, Venkatesan Vedakrishnaram on mridangam hand drum percussion, and Krishna Kutty on violin. Palai Ramachandran, an award-winning Carnatic singer, and vocalist Debur Srivathsa, who arranged most of the music for the ballet, also lend their voices to the show. Shankar is no first-timer with the Shakti Dance Company. She was lead vocalist for Prakash's ballets Purandaradasa, Meera, and Shyama which toured the U.S. and Canada. She's also toured with brother Ravi, late ex-Beatle George Harrison, and several prominent Indian performers, including legendary dancer Uday Shankar.
The national tour of the ambitious three-hour, two-act ballet celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Shakti School of Bharata Natyam, which Prakash founded in 1977. Dance has been a lifelong passion for her. Beginning at an early age, she received intensive training with the grand masters of the Tanjavur tradition of Bharata Natyam, Guru Kalyanasundaram and Guru Mahalingam Pillai, directors of the Raja Rajeshwari Bharata Natya Kala Mandir, Bombay. In honor of her years of teaching, she received the "Best Guru" award from the Madras Music Academy, Chennai, India, in 2001.
Prakash turns in a gender-bending performance as Krishna, while her daughter Mythili Prakash plays the Pandava queen Draupadi -- and also Karna, the half brother of Arjuna. Females playing males is an unimportant detail in the grand scope of the ballet. "This dance drama is based on Ekaharya, which is the depiction of different characters by one dancer, and the characters within the dance drama are differentiated by suggestive embellishments of their costumes," Prakash says. "It is vital that the spectator perceives not solely the person or character portrayed but the universality of the traits of these characters, inherent within all human beings." Malaysian-born Ajit Bhaskaran Das and the athletic Harikrishna Kalyanasundaram are the other two principal solo dancers in an 18-member troupe.
The text of the "Bhagvad Gita" can be daunting for outsiders unfamiliar with the Hindu religion, and the complexity isn't merely doctrinal. The character names alone are bewildering. Krishna is variously known as Mohave, Hrishikesha, Keshava, Govinda, Madhu, Janardana, Varshneya, Vasudeva, and Hari. Arjuna has almost as many nicknames, and so do the other main characters. But the ballet is audience-friendly: If the sheer spectacle of the stage presentation isn't self-explanatory, ongoing narration in English sets up each scene and translates the relevant verses from the "Gita."
The battle scenes in act 2 showcase the full talents of the dancers as they explode in choreographed warfare in front of a painted backdrop of charging elephants. Lighting effects enhance the passionate emotions. These scenes also give the ballet an up-to-the-minute relevance.
"We have leaders absolutely unwilling to negotiate peacefully, in the name of good Dharma, that is, justice, for the world," Prakash says. She goes on to list other features of the ancient war that are relevant today. "Bribery, making pacts, offering lands and weapons to helpful neighbors who were once enemies... Witness senseless killings of young and innocent in the name of power, knowing peaceful ways are the best ways and yet pursuing active force and aggression to justify the cause. As our country seems to be on the brink of it all, how do we not draw parallels?"
Prakash is excited about the ballet on the sheer artistic level, she says enthusiastically: "I am fortunate to have wonderful artists on my team, dancers and musicians, all who feel as passionately about this production as I do." But ultimately, she's drawn to the "Bhagvad Gita" because, "To me, it is the absolute truth."
