50yo female with esrd goes to er for generalized weakness. she gets triaged (apparently vss) and then patiently waits for several hours in the waiting room. she got tired of waiting and went to another er across town. was immediately taken back....potassium was 8.9.
not all weakness is bullshit.
Any ESRD patient that you see has something like a 25% overall 5 year mortality. Among ones that always come to the ER it is always higher. It seems like they are always just 1 hour away from full blown sepsis, AMI, cardiac arrest, etc.....
20 y/o male drunk asshole involved in an MVA about 10pm. His whole friggin body hurts. Seen by the ER doc and trauma surgeon. Got the whole body scan read by Nitehawk radiology as "negetive". Cleared by the trauma surgeon to "go home". However doesn't have a ride so he sleeps it off in the ER. The day hospital radiologist calls about 9 am and says "I think the aortic arch looks a little funny"...........ends up in the OR an hour later to repair his aorta tear.
Please include the name and jurisdiction of the plainti... ur I mean patient.ReplyDelete
A couple of years ago (but I still have nightmares):
17 yo male attended at gone midnight with simple pneumothorax. Medical SHO (junior doc) decides to insert a chest drain (with trocar in situ) deep into his chest, despite my increasingly vocal protestations about the blood pouring into the collection bottle. "I'm the doctor, you're the nurse. I know what I'm doing. This happens all the time."
Errr, not in my experience it doesn't.
Enter stage left the SpR (senior doc), who I had bleeped to put an end to this madness - simply to remove the stiches holding the chest drain, push it further in, then re-stitch.
I ended up phoning the consultant at home at about 2am but the damage was done and the kid still ended up in ITU for a week.
Still makes me shiver just thinking about it...
65 yo depressed Vet with usual comorbidities presented to triage complaining of fatigue and diffuse ill defined pain. Had been seen several times in the past 2 weeks in walk-in clinic and ED with no etiology identified. During triage says his pain is better and wonders if it is all in his head.
I was a new triage nurse (not yet jaded by frequent flyers); since it was early AM, decided to draw routine labs and have him wait to be seen.
CBC showed leukocytosis w/ blasts.
His diffuse pain was bony pain due to his AML.
Ultimately became septic and died in the ICU.
OK, so it's not ER, but L&D can be sometimes emergency medicine...
26yo very pregnant female presents to L&D triage for acute calf pain & swelling x 3 days. Venous doppler shows occluding DVT "*superficial* femoral vein." Resident du jour says "*superficial*?... ok, heat, tylenol, discharge." I say "but femoral vein is deep. Call your attending, superficial is a misnomer." I heart UpToDate.
She thankfully ended up staying for heparin - scary terminology error!
30-something MVA driver comes in by ambulance at about 3AM oriented x3 normal neurological exam, just a headache. Head CT cleared by the ED attending, no other signs of trauma. On-call radiologist clears the CT, patient is sent home.
Morning radiologist reads the film and finds significant right-sided sub-arachnoid hemmorage (I saw it later in the day fresh off of my neuro finals in MS1...it was pretty blatant). Patient contacted at about 8AM and made aware of the bleeding in his brain and that he should probably come back in for further treatment.
30-year-old female in c/o headache, nausea, vomiting for 5 days; seen at two other hospitals and treated for "migraine." no CAT scans done. Came to us via ambulance, lethargic but A&Ox3. Was a little cranky, was taking prescribed percocets. MDs are wondering if she's a psych consult. I pass by her bed and she's unresponsive except to deep pain (stuck her with a #18 needle and almost no reaction). CAT scan ordered: HUMUNGOUS (15 CM) tumor in her brain, shoving her ventricles out of shape. EEEEP! Prepped for OR tout suite, shunt inserted, almost miraculous recovery--except then she had to have brain surgery later.ReplyDelete
Also, just recently: 50-something chick who had been at Another Hospital earlier in the week with migraine, negative CT scan, treated with meds. Came in flailing around in melodramatic fashion, talking about her migraine.
Then she goes potty and has seizure in the bathroom (1st time seizure). She was all over the place postictally, yelling, screaming, had to be 4-pointed. We gave her numerous benzos with no effect. Her CT scan showed a 1.5cm head bleed.
CT scans don't diagnose aneurysms. I don't know that's what she had originally, but I can only assume.
Poor thing was probably screaming because her head hurt like a mofo.
OK, you're all a bunch of med profs and I'm just a customer. But since this just happened three nights ago, to ME, I'll post it.
39 year old female six months out of chemo for stage II breast cancer comes to ER complaining of severe abdominal pains, left side, and vomiting. She is told that even though she can't even sit up, her vitals are stable and is therefore left for five hours, on the FLOOR, in the HALLWAY, of good hospital in upscale neighborhood, while frantic husband tries unsuccessfully to get her at least a gurney. Finally said female tells husband to tell nurses that she can't breath. At that point she is reluctantly admitted. Cat scan reveals a 10cm "solid mass" in her abdomin. ER doc tells her that she most probably has a tumor, and admits her to hospital. He wishes her good luck.
Patient spends the next several hours contemplating her impending death from metastatic BC.
Luckily, patient's ob/gyn is atsame hospital, and immediately takes charge. Surgery reveals an ovarian tortion, probably secondary to a hemerrgatic cyst. Patient is relieved, but pissed that she had to deal with hours and hours of pain, on the floor, puking her guts out, while patients ahead of her in line with earaches and sprained wrists were seen.
So, my question is, did the ER do anything incorrectly (don't worry, I don't sue)? If so, what?
First off, no one should touch an ED floor except with their shoes. In ED we don't see patients according to a "line." I'm the triage nurse, and I have to decide who is dying, who can't wait more than 10 minutes and who can wait for hours. We have a "fast track" so that all those earaches and wrist sprains can be seen, treated and released quickly, from the chairs in the back room. That way, they don't take up the beds we need for sick people. Females with abdominal pain get UA, IVHL, labs: hemog, CMP, lipase - and that's done before they see the doc. It's done while you are in the waiting room if there isn't a bed. If you are vomiting I can get an order from any doc for nausea meds in a hearbeat. This is all before the doc even gets to see you.ReplyDelete
You'd be a triage score of "3" with abdominal pain and vomiting and normal vitals (heart attacks/strokes are '2', more acute). Some hospitals can do more extensive things from the lobby, ours can order ibuprofen, UAs and xrays only.
You were probably in line behind a whole slew of other #3s and there were probably ambulances coming in through the back as well that you never saw. Most ER patients are a #3.
What I would do if you find yourself in a similar situation is simply asked to be "re-triaged" or checked again by the triage nurse. Explain that your pain is getting worse and that you've never had this pain before, etc. This may get you moved ahead of the malingerers or drama queens that are #3s.
This is an example of why people need to go to the ER for emergencies only. People with actual problems end up waiting.
Your ER probably did nothing wrong specifically other than not have enough beds. You'd be surprised how many people come with those exact same symptoms. Abdomen pain/vomiting is probably half the lobby at any given time.
I am an experienced ER doc. A couple weeks ago I missed an ovarian torsion. Very obese lady with flank pain. It was extremely busy and chaotic as usual. The night radiologist (and day radiologist overreader) read the CT scan as entirely normal, even though in retrospect there is a 7cm pelvic mass. She came back later because the pain recurred and was worse. An ultrasound showed a complex ovarian mass without blood flow. I doubt the ovary was slavageable the first time around, but I still felt very bad about missing it.
Our job is constantly humbling. Working the ER is very chaotic, high risk, with interruptions by the minute. No ER doc likes to hear "Remember that patient that........." On the other hand, we like to hear about those cases because it becomes part of "our clinical experience". The doc would probably fully appreciate a follow up letter as long as it is not venomous to cause anxiety of an impending lawsuit. (although I already feel that every shift is an impending lawsuit)
On behalf of all who tolerate working ER, I apologize for your wait and suffering. It is certainly not ideal. However, because of EMTALA, hospital economics, ER boarding of admitted patients, nurse and hospital bed shortages, ER abusers, call panel malpractice crisis, the uninsured, and a variety of other reasons leading to ER overcrowding this is becoming the norm in neighborhoods all over the country.
Your type of presenting complaint suffers the most in the ER overcrowding crisis. That is - "not sick enough to require immediate resuscitation", and "too sick" to go to "fast track" and be seen by a PA in a chair.
Ovarian tortion here.
Thanks for your comments.
I feel that the only thing that was really wrong was making me lie on the floor for five hours.
Pain meds would have been great, but if they have a policy against any treatment until a doc can see the patient, that at least makes sense.
Although the waiting room was crowded, when I went inside I saw there there was plenty of available gurneys and even five empty beds in the triage area. I don't think there was any excuse for not putting me in one of them.
The nurses apologized a lot. But I still don't understand why one of them couldn't have snuck me into a bed.
My new motto: NO BED, NO BUCKET. If I'm on the floor, my vomit's on the floor. Maybe that would have gotten their attention.
One problem with "open gourneys" could be nurses unions or mandated nursing ratio laws.
Not enough nurses to cover beds in the ER for the shift -- rules and laws mandate that a nurse can only be taking care of a certain number (BTW -- doctors have no such thing and have not choice to take care of 20 at a time if need be).
Here in Northern Mexico (aka southern ca.) Arnold signed limited nursing:patient ratios into law and the nursing union will see to it that it is followed. If you tried to assign 8 patients to a nurse but then they would all quit and leave and then you would haven an even worse shortage.
So patients lie on the floor instead of an open gourney.
Another patient perspective story here...
16yo female comes in late afternoon, complaining of diffused /right/ sided chest pain, lethargy and confusion. Somewhat tachycardic, temp raised very slightly.
Pushed to fast track, and keeps getting ignored due to really, really sick people rolling in via ambulance doing terrible things like not breathing.
About five hours after patient gets into the ER, her father wanders out of the room to go see mother (who also happens to be in the hospital, for an unrelated reason).
Doctor wanders by. Stops. Looks. Comes over and says "Have you always had this rash on your chest?". Gets absolutely no response. Pokes patient. Nothing. Pokes patient with 18 gauge needle. Still nothing.
Father wanders back to discover huge numbers of people freaking out over 150 pulse, strange EKG's and lack of consciousness.
Final diagnosis - dehydration, mild (thankfully) meningitis, heart complication and a dislocated rib. Turns out, the chest pain was the rib.
Go figure.
One of the doctors from the ER popped up to see me later and admitted that she thought I was just having a panic attack over my mother being in the hospital.

Tin-Tin explains his design inspirations:
"I was very proud that Swatch proposed this collaboration because, to me, it represents a very stylish brand which is constantly developing and always outstanding with its innovations. For me, Swatch upholds the reputation and reliability of Swiss watches, but does so in an affordable way, without being uptight or elitist. My inspirations were, naturally, my style of tattoos that I have realized quite often and quite well symbolize myself in their graphics. These are, of course, timeless, quickly identifiable and immutable drawings: examples of tattoo art in the collective unconscious."

Hundreds of thousands of members of a hardline Muslim group rallied in Bangladesh's capital on Saturday to demand authorities enact anti-blasphemy laws to punish people who insult Islam.
Separately, members of the group, Hifazat-e-Islam, clashed with police and pro-government activists in a district outside of the capital, leaving a ruling party supporter dead.
The massive rally in Dhaka took place amid heightened security in the capital and elsewhere in Bangladesh after Hifazat-e-Islam members targeted bloggers who they say are atheists. It also took place despite a daylong shutdown across the Muslim-majority country that was enforced by about 25 liberal and secular groups to denounce the rally.
The bloggers, who deny they are atheists, are seeking capital punishment for those found guilty of war crimes during the nation's 1971 independence war against Pakistan. They also want a ban on Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamic party, for campaigning against Bangladesh's independence more than four decades ago. The party is a key partner of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which is led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
Top Jamaat-e-Islami leaders are accused of crimes against humanity during the 1971 war, and two senior party leaders were convicted this year by a special tribunal.Bangladesh says as many as 3 million people were killed and 200,000 women raped by Pakistani troops and local collaborators during the war.
The organizers of the shutdown said the hardline group was not interested in protecting Islam, but that rather it wants to create an environment in the country to help Jamaat-e-Islami free the party's detained leaders.
As a result of the shutdown, roads were blocked and train and bus services were suspended, practically cutting Dhaka off from rest of the country.
Still, hundreds of thousands of Hifazat-e-Islam members managed to join the rally, most of them wearing white Islamic skullcaps.
While Hifazat-e-Islam said its rally was non-political and not aligned with the opposition, Zia's party backed the demonstration, and media reports said Jamaat-e-Islami provided funds to help organize it.
The group listed 13 demands, including reinstating "absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah" in the nation's constitution, which is largely secular, and passing a law providing for capital punishment for maligning Allah, Islam and its Prophet Muhammad.
The group's other demands include declaring the minority Ahmadiya sect living in the country non-Muslims and banning "all foreign culture, including free mixing of men and women."
They said the bloggers, who have held street protests to demand all convicted war criminals be executed, should be punished.
Somoy TV and the Daily Star newspaper reported that a supporter of the ruling Awami League party, Nausher Khan, died after clashes broke out in central Bangladesh'sFaridpur district. Another 15 men were injured, the reports said. Faridpur is 60 kilometers (37 miles) west of Dhaka.
Saturday's rally came amid months of violence stemming from a bitter political rivalry between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government and the Zia-led opposition.
Hasina initiated the war crimes trials in 2010. Ten of the defendants convicted or on trial are from Jamaat-e-Islami, while two others belong to Zia's party.
In February, the tribunal sentenced a senior Jamaat-e-Islami party leader to death, but the decision sparked violent clashes between opposition activists and police that left more than 70 people dead.
Hifazat-e-Islam said it would enforce a daylong shutdown across the country on Monday to protest the alleged obstruction of their supporters' attempts to reach Saturday's rally.

Police search for St. Clair Shores bank robber
Robber flees with stolen money despite teller telling him she was 'too busy to wait on him'
ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. – Police are searching for the man who robbed a Flagstar Bank on 9 Mile Road and Harper Avenue Wednesday.
Investigators say a man wearing a green hoodie, tan pants and a bandage on his left index finger walked past the bank ATM around 2:09 p.m.
He next walked into the bank and then walked back out at 2:12 p.m. Five minuets later, the man walked back in and approached a teller.
He gave the teller a note saying he had a pistol, said St. Clair Shores Police Detective Margaret Eidt.
According to police, the teller told the suspect she was "too busy to wait on him and he had to wait his turn". The robber persisted and was given an undisclosed amount of money.
The branch manger approached the suspect and started talking to him before he ran out with the money.
He was seen driving away in a late 1990s, or early 2000s, Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Prix.
The suspect is described as white male around 28 to 35 years of age. He was between 6-foot-1-inch and 6-foot-3 and had red hair with a red goatee and mustache.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call St. Clair Shores Police at 586-445-5305.

Prescription Drug Fraud is a severe drug crime. Misinformation about your health state and/or your personality in order to get controlled substances from a pharmacist or doctor shopping are examples of law violation. In other words, drug fraud is a type of crime where legal or illegal drugs, are cut and altered in order to decline their value below which they are sold for. It became a national problem that increases each year and affects everybody in the health care system: doctors, nurses, pharmacists, patients, health insurance companies, etc. The term of Prescription Drug Fraud doesn't include theft, burglary, back door pharmacies and illegal drug importation and distribution.

Drug Trafficking And Distribution. Drug Trafficking Defenses
Drug Trafficking is a global problem that also affects United States. Although the law fights every day with this issue, there are still significant drug trafficking problems in the United States. According to Drug Enforcement Administrations (DEA) there are over 30,000 annual arrests related to distribution and trafficking of illegal drugs.
Drug trafficking or distribution includes transportation, selling and illegal import of controlled substances. Drug distribution is more serious crime as drug possession and is regarded as felony. It is also illegal to distribute prescription drugs like pain killers, sleeping pills etc.
Possession Of Illegal Drugs. Simple Possession Vs. Intention To Distribute
It is well known that drugs are addictive chemical substances that affect central nervous system causing beneficial effects on perception, consciousness and behavior. There are four basic types of drug crimes, these are possession, distribution/trafficking, use and manufacture and cultivation of any of the following:
- narcotics
- anabolic steroids
- stimulants
- depressants
- hallucinogens
- chemicals (ingredients of drugs)
One of the basic drug crimes is drug possession, because it is illegal to possess controlled substances such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana, LSD, methamphetamine etc. If a person possesses a small amount of drugs, it may be considered a "simple possession". If the police finds large amounts of drugs, it presumes "intention to distribute". Drugs possession can be determined by "actual possession" when the person has control over the drug and in most cases is carrying it. If the substance is found around the person's property – the possession is called "constructive". Possession of paraphernalia such as crack pipes, bongs or syringes also violates federal and state laws.
When Is It Allowed To Use Medical Marijuana?
Marijuana is considered an illegal drug, its possession, use, cultivation or sale is prohibited by federal and state law. The term "medical marijuana" refers to legal possession, use and cultivation of cannabis plant for medical reasons.
Medical marijuana is used as a form of treatment and pain relief by people who suffer from painful symptoms that come from:
- cancer
- epilepsy and others.
California was the first state that legalized medical marijuana in November 1996. You must have a doctor's recommendation and a license to cultivate and possess it. The doctors that prescribe marijuana and people who use it in limits set by law are free from criminal charges. Nowadays 20 states legalized marijuana for medical purposes, some of them are: Colorado, New-Jersey, Nevada, Massachusetts, Hawaii. Two states made it legal to use marijuana for recreational purposes, these are Colorado and Washington.
Most Popular And Widely Spread Illegal Drugs In The United States
According to Drug Enforcement Administrations, there are yearly over 30,000 arrests related to trafficking and distribution of illegal drugs. Illegal Drugs business costs billions of dollars, that's why this type of crime is always a problem for the U.S. and it is impossible to totally extirpate it.
The following drugs and their amounts were found in 2006 within the borders of the USA:
- Marijuana – 660.969 kg
- Cocaine – 49,823 kg
- Heroin – 598 kg
- Methamphetamine - 1.540 kg
- Hallucinogens – 9.199.693 units
It is estimated that marijuana is currently used by 11.5 million people in the U.S. Most of the marijuana is illegally imported in the United States from Mexico, also a big amount of high-potency marijuana comes from Canada. All of the Cocaine traffic in U.S belongs to Colombian and Mexican organizations. It is estimated that there are over two million cocaine addicts in the United States and the highest percent of cocaine usage belongs to people from 18 to 25 years old.
Evidences of Drug Manufacturing and Cultivation
It is estimated that abuse of drugs and alcohol costs society over $110 billion each year through criminal behavior, unforeseen injuries and death, dependency treatments and other. This is the reason why state and federal laws prohibit the use, possession, trafficking and manufacture of drugs.
Drug manufacture is the process of production, preparation or conversion of controlled substances by means of chemical processes. Drug cultivation means that the person is growing plants that are included in the group of controlled substances, these usually are marijuana, opium or hallucinogenic plants. Drug manufacturing or cultivation is regarded as a more serious crime as drug possession, because it is mostly linked to drug distribution.
Marijuana Leads To Increase In DUI Charges In California
Having to go to court for a plant might seem a bit much, especially when the plant we are discussing is marijuana. Understanding the laws of this popular plant is so complicated that even local law enforcement in the state of California can't seem to understand how to handle this decriminalized herb. Marijuana leading to increase in DUI charges in California has become an issue to the court system and to the individuals receiving the DUI.
Most DUI cases end up leaving the defendant in jail for approximately 3 days while the judge gets to hear the case and decide what the sentencing will be. Facing legal actions for being high on a plant that is known to ease tension should be a crime itself, due to the fact that more and more doctors are being summoned to court after dealing with patients all day to clarify that the defendant is in fact under the prescription of marijuana, and is allowed to smoke this non harmful plant. Driving under the influence of marijuana according to the State of Colorado and Washington is an acceptable thing, and although the Feds never really approved the use of marijuana, state law seems to be passing all kinds of legalities that tells the individual how to operate after smoking marijuana. However, given that the plant has not been fully legalized in California, it is leading to the increase in DUI arrests.
Most Severe Drug Law States
One of the greatest problems in the United States are illegal drugs. The most available, used and distributed drug is marijuana. Each year approximately 800.000 Americans are arrested for violating marijuana laws.
The biggest number of arrests based on possession of at least a pot of marijuana is made in Texas. Even if it is your first conviction, you can get 180 days jail time and a $2000 fine. The state law in Oklahoma allows judges to sentence to life imprisonment people convicted of cultivation of cannabis or for the sale of the smallest amount of it. Annually over 13.000 people get arrested for pot possession in Oklahoma and they are convicted severely.
Drug Use. Why is it Illegal to Escape the Reality?
One of the most widely-spread problem in the whole world are illegal drugs. This refers also to United States. When people get tired or bored of what they have, they want changes, and the easiest way for it is to use drugs. In addition to possession, manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs, drug use is also a crime.
It is illegal to use following substances unless they are legally prescribed by your doctor for health reasons:
- depressants
- hallucinogens
- narcotics
- steroids
- chemicals that are used in production of drugs
- prescription medicines

I was very pleased to see that Iowa images were now being indexed via FamilySearch and the the related Community Project we have all been promoting.
So, I went and indexed a few batches of Iowa images - in a county where some of my ancestors lived many years ago - Adair County. It was fun, felt good, and gave me an excuse to say:
If you haven't indexed any 1940 US Census images, yet, it is still not too late. Just go to the link, above, and Get Started, as it says (or, click on the logo, below!). More hands make the work go faster - for the benefit of everyone!

Years and years later, after college, after grad school, after I got married, and after I had 3 children, I wanted it back. I finally missed swimming.
The only problem is I live in a town without a swimming pool. Not only is my town lacking a pool but all the surrounding towns are lacking a pool as well. I won't get started on that rant. But, it is a sad and tragic ( maybe a strong word) fact for all the children in this region abundant with lakes that consistent swim lessons aren't available.
Moving on!
I made the decision to race Triathlons years ago ( another story) and that meant I needed to swim. How? How was I going to pull that one off?
My husband leaves for work at 7 a.m.
At that time, my boys were 2, 4, and 6. I was home with them all day long.
I thought and thought. I found a pool in a town 25 miles from here that opened at 5:20 a.m.
I can do it!
All I needed to do was set my alarm for 4:25, drive for 35 min, swim, leave there by 6:25 and I could make it home by 6:58!! perfect!
Did I say 4:25 a.m.?
Such a lovely hour. I hadn't seen that hour regularly since my babies were crying for me all night long.
Seven years have passed and I'm still doing it. Usually three times each week.
Why? Because I want to swim. I want to swim fast. I want to swim faster than the people I'm racing. And, I love it.
The Worst part about the 4:25 alarm buzz, is the night before. When it's 9:45 p.m. and I just can't get myself to bed any earlier, it weighs on me. I pull my swim bag from the closet, throw in a towel, put my workout on the index card in a baggie and into the bag. I get out my water bottle, put the coffee cup on the counter and try not to think about it.
The alarm goes off and I think NO!!!!!!!!!!! Already????
Without thinking, I get up. My sweatshirt and sweatpants are at the foot of my bed.I put them on, kiss my husband goodbye and he always says, "be careful." And with that, I'm off.
After that first 60 seconds, the pain of it is gone.
I walk down the stairs, say Hi Kitties as they inevitably run by my feet, I go into the kitchen and turn on the lights. I pour the coffee that's hot and ready, grab my phone, swim bag and head down to the car. Sneakers on, coat on, coffee in hand and I'm outta there.
I turn the same station on the radio before I'm out of the driveway.
It no longer feels like 4:45 a.m. It feels like My quiet time!
I am alone on the roads. The drive that is busy and slow during the daytime is 100% free and clear. The roads aren't lit except by my headlights. I hold my coffee, sip it slowly, listen to talk radio and think of nothing important.
It's a nice time of day to be honest. I'm ahead of everyone. I'm beating the rush.
By 5:22 I'm in my suit and on the deck. I admit, it takes me too too long to actually dive in. The 5 or 6 other ladies at the Y jump in Instantly. I don't know how they do it. I stand there. I stretch. I stretch more. I reread the workout. And finally, I tell myself, "you didn't get out of bed so early to Waste your time standing here!!" And I dive in.
That's that.
As soon as I'm done I start rushing. I rush to get dressed, to drive home, to say by to Mark, to say Hi to the kids, to make their lunchboxes, to clean the kitchen, brush their hair, make sure homework is in the bag, and so on....and it doesnt' stop until all 3 guys are tucked in their beds 13 hours later.
And that's the silly little story of how I get myself to the pool all week!!!
|that's me... back in the Cape pool as an 'old lady' at a Master's meet a few yrs ago.

Justify's Triple Crown win at the Belmont Stakes is being called into question by the owner of two rival horses.
Mike Repole tells the New York Post that it seemed like the horse, Restoring Hope, was more like an offensive lineman and Justify was the running back trying to score a touchdown. Restoring Hope broke out of the gate quickly in Saturday's race and was in second near Justify for a good chunk of it before falling back. The owner of Restoring Hope declined to comment to the Post when asked if the horse was used to block for Justify.

GOODYEAR, AZ -- A Life Time Fitness club in Arizona has reopened after a chlorine gas leak caused an evacuation of the club.
On Tuesday, three Life Time employees at the Goodyear, AZ, club were exposed to the chemical while they were treating the spa area, according to local media reports. The club was evacuated while crews evaluated the leak.
A pipe backed up in the spa area, and chlorine splashed on the employees. The face of one of the employees was exposed to the chemical, which splashed on the other two employees' lower extremities. All three employees were transported to a local hospital, and all three were released later that day, Life Time said.
The Chanhassen, MN-based company also said the club reopened after a thorough inspection of the club's chemical system.

Equipment Review - TaylorMade R7 Limited
4 comments:
- Matt Spence said...
I run a small golf store in Baltimore, Maryland and Taylor Made has really gone over the top in how often they are releasing new products. When they debuted the 300 Series and relaunched the brand (with new logos, company philosphy, etc.) in October of 2000, the product cycle was every 18 months - 2 years. Now they are releasing new products so fast that all but the most savvy buyers don't know which is the current line and which is out of date.
My business is super slow from October through March, save for Christmas, and with the r7 Limited coming out when it did and immediately being followed by the R9, I wish I hadn't even stocked the r7 Limited!!
I agree with you that it is a great club, but with the Burner TP and r9 debuting soon, it's going to be another out-of-date Taylor Made driver selling for $199 before the season's over...
Didn't mean for this to turn into a rant...
Nice work with the blog, I enjoy it!

Thanks for the blog. I have followed a similar path as far as the R7 limited, love it so far. I am now in the process of checking out the Bridgestone Rx balls hope for the sames results that you had as well.

In the 1980's Newport Beach, California spawned a new era of high performance surfing and entrepreneurship, establishing Orange County as the focal point of the surf industry and a worldwide influencer of youth culture.

|In the 1980's Newport Beach, California spawned a new era of high performance surfing and entrepreneurship, establishing Orange County as the focal point of the surf industry and a worldwide influencer of youth culture.
This group of surfers came from different backgrounds and interests, bonded in their surfing and exploded on the scene, creating a unique look and revolutionary style that paralleled changes in music, culture and the innovation of young surf companies such as Quiksilver, Stussy, Schroff, Rip Curl, McCoy and Wave Tools.
Flashy wetsuits, colorful surfboards, and a new wave attitude created a surfing Mecca that was to impact the surfing community around the world and give rise to a global industry. Photographers, surfers, surfboard shapers, magazines and clothing companies all came together to create this movement, which was focused on a one hundred yard stretch of sand known as ECHO BEACH.

And I'm not going to be able to get past the look on Dusty's face in that video. All the talk about there being a lack of leadership I would say you need to look no further than that video to see where that lack of leadership is coming from.
It will never happen but Dusty should be replaced with Price tomorrow.

Murdered Berkeley Man's Settlement with BPD a Bad Legacy (News Analysis)
The Peter M. Cukor family's lawsuit against the city of Berkeley police was dropped unexpectedly, Tuesday, in exchange for what their attorney's called the department's "three changes…" in dispatcher policies which "will help prevent similar tragedies in the future."
Although they were mollified by Berkeley Chief Michael K. Meehan's mea culpa, last year at a public meeting to address their fears, hills-dwellers (Cukor died atop Marin) would have to be permanently sedated to swallow this latest pill.
Don't call 9-1-1, Hills-dwellers, but you are not safe in the police beat where you live. All the settlements in the world will not change that. You're doomed by your life-style, which offers stunning views and an above-it-all take on life below.
Your crime beat, the largest of nineteen, stretches for miles and can only be reached, with difficulty, on narrow, often blocked streets.
It would have taken the officer on North Shattuck--just before Cukor was murdered-- 8-10 minutes to have prevented Cukor's death, but a dispatcher reportedly diverted the officer's offer of help because of riot "monitoring" policies.
This mistake is uncorrected in the settlement (dispatchers should consult a superior) or get better briefings before diverting officers answering a crime-in-progress.
The settlement offers:
"…emergency dispatchers may now inform callers that an officer will respond when a unit is available and may also add that there could be a delay due to high-priority calls in progress or due to a high volume of calls."
All this baloney seems to answer the bogus issue of whether Cukor was allegedly emboldened to leave his home by a dispatcher's assurances of aid on-the-way.
In fact, Cukor stepped across the street from his home to the fire-house (he had opposed its construction) for help, but the firemen were all out on a serious fire nearby.
This could have saved his life.
Rioters arrived at the Berkeley border from Oakland at 9:20 p.m. Cukor died fifteen minutes before the rioters arrived. There was no Berkeley march to ''monitor." This was a window of opportunity for the officer downtown to speed up to Cukor's aid.
If police tactics had been less inflexible, Cukor could have been saved.
I have complained of loud parties in my South Side apartment complex and gotten a cop at the door in five minutes. If you are being bludgeoned in the hills, you will have to wait longer. Much longer.
Your Berkeley address can kill
I live not far from the Hayward Fault. That's how we all live here, a little on-guard.
Hills-dwellers never fully grasped the nature of police misfeasance in Cukor's case, because media was spinning on its head or possibly were out spun by police.
A Planet story by me was headlined: "Peter M. Cukor Did Not Have To Die."
Can I be more blunt?
If police had actually followed the march, as they did after the Cukor fiasco on a subsequent FTP march--this one with more potential violence--they would have picked up peace vibes the night of Cukor's death. Instead they picked up a corpse.
FTP, while befuddling cops with misleading intell, were in a celebratory not violent mood. Leaving them alone was a good move, which Chief Meehan was proud of.
The cops then plead guilty to being prepared for a riot and attention goes there.
The Chief capped his assuaging of hills dwellers safety fears at a north side church; a few hours later, "going viral" online by sending an armed officer to the home of a reporter to correct an error in the reporter's story. The Cukor murder was crowded out
Too bad, because Cukor's death was a blunder worthy of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Infallible intell, according to university and city cops convinced both departments that Occupy Oakland and Occupy Cal (jointly) planned to--get this!--seize UCPD headquarters.
UCPD taped off their entrance and stationed a few bored cops at the entrance. Action quickly shifted to University House, where twelve UCPD oversaw a celebration of peace and love unfold.
At 11:10 p.m. BPD stink-eyed protestors from command cars. Except for a clandestine stake out, here and there, BPD had been invisible throughout the evening.
The potential riot, cops were watching marched into town AFTER Cukor was killed. If their intell is anything but puff, Police know Occupy is no excuse for Cukor's death.
Chief Meehan refused to blame Occupy when addressing hills-dwellers at the church briefing
Still that idea, "they were preparing for…."
Were police out spinning us, while claiming to be behind the media curve?
If you believe that you believe cops are smarter than you.

Hello again,
I assembled a documentation txt file with all the infos I could find on all the events.
I scavenged the wiki, the forums and my notes.
I also added infos/descriptions on all the event functions, taken from xelerus/wiki.
There are also links to the wiki, comments posted by George on timers, time quantization, events and game lifecyle.
It's not pretty, it's a crude dump. I made it for myself so I can CTRL+F and search an event and what variables are populated in it and how to use it.
I hope it's going to be useful to you too.

FOSS Sexism Claims Met With Ire and Denial
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: October 13, 2009
Last Friday Bryce Byfield gave us a little insight into the fallout surrounding his article on sexism in the FOSS world. Unfortunately it seems that FOSS junkies did little better than the rest of the world with respect to sexism, displaying similar levels of denial, abuse, and ignorance. "But the real flood of emotion comes from the anti-feminists and the average men who would like to deny the importance of feminist issues in FOSS. Raise the subject of sexism, and you are met with illogic that I can only compare to that of the tobacco companies trying to deny the link between their products and cancer. Because I took a feminist stance in public, I have been abused in every way possible — being called irrelevant, a saboteur, coward, homosexual, and even a betrayer of the community. I know that many women in the community have been attacked much more savagely than I have, so I'm not complaining. Nor am I a stranger to readers who disagree with me, but the depth of reaction has taken me back more than once. I think the reaction is an expression of denial more than anything else."

Derek Hough and Peta Murgatroyd Dance on UK's Red or Black
Yes, there is a box in the video. Don't try to make it go away because it won't. And that's all I'm going to say about that. 🙂 I swear a LOT. Anyway, some of you may remember a month or two ago that Derek and Peta were in London together. This is one of the things they were doing. Red or Black is a prime time game show in the UK starring Ant and Dec (coincidentally or not owned by Simon Cowell) and they have famous people on every week as part of these games that the contestants have to "bet" either red or black on. You can win…was it 250k pounds or half a million?? Can't remember.

Policy 150.50
Misconduct in Scholarly Work
Originator: Provost and Chief Academic Officer
Subject: Misconduct In Scholarly Work
- Introduction
This Policy describes academic integrity and the procedures for handling misconduct in scholarly work at UMGC.
- Academic Integrity
- In accordance with the Board of Regents Policy III–1.00 Policy on Faculty, Student and Institutional Rights and Responsibility for Academic Integrity, approved on November 30, 1989, UMGC endeavors to foster academic integrity throughout the academic community.
- UMGC identifies academic integrity as the commitment to certain core values: truth, honesty, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
- Honesty and truthfulness: Express the truth, without deception, duplicity, cheating, and fraud. Be forthright in our interactions with each other, and making all reasonable efforts to fulfill our commitments.
- Fairness: Treat students, faculty and staff according to UMGC standards and policies, administered in an impartial manner.
- Respect: Foster an environment that enables honest and open communication, free from harassment and intimidation, where alternative points of view are treated with consideration, and the diversity of our academic community is appreciated, and where the work of others is acknowledged through the proper identification of sources.
- Responsibility: All members of the university community are held accountable for their work and actions. Academically dishonest behavior is not tolerated and is viewed as a breach of community ethical standards.
- Online resources to educate faculty, students and staff regarding academic integrity standards are located at Information and Library Services and the Effective Writing Center.
- Misconduct in Scholarly Work
- In accordance with the Board of Regents Policy III–1.10 Misconduct in Scholarly Work, approved on November 30, 1989, UMGC has established this Policy to prevent scholarly misconduct, and to discover and censure instances of misconduct when they occur.
- These procedures apply to all UMGC faculty, staff, and students (for work performed outside of coursework) in the performance of scholarly or creative activity and/or research that is connected with UMGC or with a UMGC appointment. Conduct other than scholarly misconduct may be subject to review under other policies and procedures.
- Allegations of academic dishonesty performed by a student within a course are handled in accordance with Policy 150.25 Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism.
- In every case processed under this Policy, the burden of proof rests with the complainant. The complainant must establish the guilt of the person accused by clear and convincing evidence. In cases where the complainant wishes to remain anonymous, the burden of proof rests with the Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs (or "Associate Provost") or Provost and Chief Academic Officer (or "Provost")or designee(s), as appropriate. See Section IV. Handling Allegation of Scholarly Misconduct. If it is determined that the allegation was frivolous, mischievous or malicious, appropriate disciplinary action may be taken.
- Definitions
- See Section II. for Academic Integrity.
- Misconduct in scholarly work includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Falsification of data, ranging from fabrication to deceptively selective reporting, including the purposeful omission of conflicting data with the intent to falsify results.
- Improper experimental manipulation. For example, manipulating experiments to obtain biased data.
- Plagiarism, defined as the intentional or unintentional presentation of another person's idea or product as one's own, includes but is not limited to the following: copying verbatim all or part of another's written work; using phrases, charts, figures, illustrations, or mathematical or scientific solutions without citing the source; paraphrasing ideas, conclusions, or research without citing the source; or using all or part of a literary plot, poem, film, musical score, or other artistic product without attributing the work to its creator. See also Section I. D. above.
- Improper assignment of credit. For example, knowingly failing to cite or insufficiently citing the work of others, including associates and students, or inadequately identifying the repetition of data or material that appears in more than one publication.
- Abuse of confidentiality. For example, improper use of information gained by privileged access, such as information obtained through service on peer review panels and editorial boards.
- Deliberate violation of regulations. For example, failure to comply with regulations concerning the use of human subjects, the care of animals, or health and safety of individuals and the environment.
- Misappropriation of funds or resources. For example, the misuse of funds for personal gain.
- A conference is a communication between two or more individuals by telephone, in writing (including but not limited to e–mail, fax, or posted letter), through videoconferencing, net–meeting, or in person.
- "Faculty Inquiry Panel" refers to a group of at least six faculty members who shall be recommended by the Deans and Vice Presidents of each geographic region, Stateside, UMGC Asia, and UMGC Europe, and approved individually by the Faculty Advisory Council. The panelist position will be held for a maximum of two years and may be renewed.
- Promotion of Professional Integrity
UMGC will periodically evaluate procedures and practices that promote integrity in scholarly work, as well as practices that may inadvertently provide incentives for misconduct.
- Handling Allegation of Scholarly Misconduct
- Referral
Within 30 calendar days of an alleged violation of scholarly misconduct, or when a person should have reasonably known of the misconduct, all UMGC faculty, staff, and students must report violations of this Policy in writing to the President's appointee, the Associate Provost. All referrals will be treated as confidential.
- Inquiry
- The Associate Provost will immediately inform, in writing, the person accused of violating this Policy. The Associate Provost will also appoint an ad–hoc, three–member Inquiry Committee, consisting of appropriate exempt staff members and faculty members selected by the Associate Provost from the Faculty Inquiry Panel, to establish whether there was an incident of scholarly misconduct by the person accused. No member of the Inquiry Committee may be personally or professionally associated with the allegation.
- Within 30 calendar days of receipt of the referral, the Inquiry Committee will conduct a preliminary administrative inquiry to determine whether there is sufficient basis for the allegation to warrant a full investigation. All material reviewed by the Inquiry Committee will be considered confidential and shared only with those who need to know.
- The Inquiry Committee may communicate with the person accused and provide the opportunity to present any relevant evidence. Any person accused in an inquiry is required to cooperate in furnishing materials and responding to questions. Upon request, the person accused may see the information submitted against him or her relating to the violation of scholarly misconduct. However, the person accused will not have the right to see any information that violates the privacy rights of others. The Inquiry Committee will dismiss the referral if:
- The allegations, even if true, do not constitute violation of this Policy; or
- The original allegation was frivolous, mischievous or malicious; or
- There is no evidence of violation of this Policy based upon the inquiry conducted by the Inquiry Committee.
- The Inquiry Committee will inform the Associate Provost of its evaluation process and findings in writing, along with a recommendation with respect to any further investigation, the reasons for its recommendation, and whether any other actions should be taken if an investigation is not recommended. The Associate Provost will notify the complainant (if not submitted anonymously), the person accused, the respective Dean, and the Provost of the decision in writing within 40 calendar days of the referral.
- Investigation Committee
- If the Inquiry Committee determines that further investigation is warranted, the Associate Provost will notify the Provost or designee.
- Within 14 calendar days of the Associate Provost's notification, the Provost or designee will appoint an ad–hoc, three–member Investigation Committee, consisting of directors, academic directors, chairpersons, or deans, as appropriate to the allegations under consideration, and one senior professional who is not primarily associated with UMGC. The Investigation Committee may be advised by legal counsel during this process. If the alleged misconduct involves the performance of research or other scholarly work supported by an external sponsor, UMGC will also inform the sponsor, in writing, of the allegation and investigation procedure.
- The Provost or designee will instruct the Investigation Committee to perform a thorough investigation to reach a firm conclusion about the validity of the allegation, or to be sure that further investigation could not alter an inconclusive result, within 30 calendar days of the appointment of the Investigation Committee. This investigation may require review of the materials obtained during the inquiry conducted by the Inquiry Committee; the collection and consideration of any other evidence relevant to the allegation; the holding of a fact–finding conference to interview individuals involved; and the seeking of an expert opinion from outside UMGC.
- Witnesses may be requested to submit to questioning, either in person, via video link, or in writing, by the Investigation Committee. The Investigation Committee will communicate with the person accused and complainant (if not anonymous) and give them the opportunity to present any relevant evidence. The person accused may submit questions in writing for the complainant regarding the report of scholarly misconduct.
- If a fact–finding conference is held, the person accused and complainant will be entitled to participate. The person accused or complainant may be accompanied by a representative, who may be an attorney, at his or her own expense. Representatives may advise during the course of a fact–finding conference, but shall not personally participate. Parties who wish to be accompanied by an attorney must so inform the Provost or designee in writing at least five calendar days before the scheduled date of the meeting. Representatives may not appear in lieu of persons accused or complainants.
- After the investigation is complete, the Investigation Committee will deliberate. The Investigation Committee will render a recommendation to the Provost, in writing, that will include the process by which the decision was made. If the Investigation Committee finds the allegation to be supported by clear and convincing evidence, the Investigation Committee will recommend an appropriate sanction to the Provost. If the Investigation Committee finds that the allegation was frivolous, mischievous or malicious, it may recommend an appropriate sanction against the complainant to the Provost. The Provost will review the recommendations and render a decision and a sanction. See Section VII. Sanctions.
- Referral
- Sanctions
- If the Provost determines that misconduct is not confirmed, the institution and person accused must consider whether a public announcement will be harmful or beneficial in restoring any reputation(s) that may have been damaged.
- If the Provost determines that the person accused is guilty of scholarly misconduct, disciplinary actions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Termination of employment.
- Removal from particular project.
- Letter of reprimand.
- Probation for a specified period with conditions specified.
- Suspension of rights and responsibilities for a specified period.
- Financial restitution.
- Removal from an academic program.

The University of Hawaiʻi successfully raised $956 for the Aloha United Way (AUW) at the Softball Charity Tournament held on Sept. 29 at the Les Murakami Stadium. After a fun and spirited 11 games, the Honolulu Community College Cougars defeated the Kapiʻolani Royals (Kapiʻolani Community College) and took home the President's Trophy.
"All players and rooters alike had an enjoyable time, said AUW Campaign Co-leaders Peter Quigley, Andy Hashimoto and Jim Nishimoto. "We hope the campuses continue the momentum for the rest of the campaign."
The Windward Pride Team (Windward Community College) won the prize for raising the most donations during the tournament, $345.

Fact Sheet
Nestled in the Montecito foothills of Southern California's wine country, San Ysidro Ranch has provided a tranquil destination for discriminating travelers for over a century. Guests are drawn to the Santa Barbara hideaway for its blend of natural beauty, romantic heritage and classic luxury. Myth and history mingle in the lush gardens where Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier exchanged vows; in the setting of John and Jackie Kennedy's honeymoon retreat.
The Ranch occupies over 500 rolling acres of unspoiled coastal landscape between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Dazzling 360 views turn from the Channel Islands beyond Santa Barbara, to rambling canyons under ancient canopies of Eucalyptus. Fragrant Magnolia and orange blossoms perfume the countryside. The light in these gentle hills is Artist's Light – scrubbed clean by the sea, a prism of pure color.
Private cottages wind along the Ranch's hillside creek and tree-lined paths. Built in classic bungalow style, all are individually decorated, all with fireplaces or stoves, decks giving way to sweeping vistas and outdoor hot tubs. Here, every guest and privileged pet receives a warm welcome. Relaxation and refuge are premium, enhanced by the discreet personal service and flawless attention to detail that are Ranch hallmarks.
With its idyllic climate and deep embrace of the outdoors, San Ysidro ranch is a place to indulge the senses and invigorate the soul. Seventeen miles of active hiking trails or a swim in our hillside pool coexist with the quiet pleasures of in-cottage spa treatments, a stroll in our vibrant gardens, and the art of doing nothing. Here, mind and body are emptied of care and transformed in the curative power of nature.
The ranch provides several premier dining settings, each featuring a palate of herbs and vegetables grown right here in our organic gardens. The Plow and Angle is a destination in its own right, offering evocative regional cooking and a convivial ambiance. Or if you prefer, arrange for intimate dining in the original 1825 Old Adobe Cottage, the Wine Cellar, or on the deck of your own cottage.

Ticket #11066 (closed defect: fixed)
OSX-Guest on VirtualBox
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|VirtualBox 4.2.0
|OSX Guest
|Guest type:
|Host type:
I installed OSX on a previous Version of Virtualbox 4.2 and was able to get it running using Original Install-CD using EFI-Mode in Virtualbox.
Since upgrading to VirtualBox 4.2.0 which seems to have an upgraded/altered EFI-Interface (new Menu?) I cannot boot into OSX any more.
Instead of booting EFI (either OSX-CD or existing OSX-System from VDI) I see the UEFI Helper-System coming up...
Is there any info on this bug yet? I see some errors showing up shortly while the VirtualBox BIOS Screen is shown.
Btw. I'm using the Windows-Binary (Windows PC).

Could you please attach your log and what do you mean by "cannot boot" (UEFI command line, OSX kernel panic)?

comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by typoworx
See the screenshots attached above. It was not easy to catch the first one (VirtualBox BIOS)... on the 2nd. Screenshot I previously had a working OSX-Boot progress. It was working on a previous version of VirtualBox (Sorry, cannot say which one I had before the upgrade).
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by Hachiman
fixed in 4.2.1 (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
comment:5 Changed 8 years ago by typoworx
Resolution set to fixedPlease backtrack...
I can agree that Version 4.2.1 seems to have fixed the errors thrown in the screenshots that have been attached.
BUT the OSX Guest-Machine (using EFI-Mode) still doesn't boot properly. It runs into something like a kernel error.
To be shure there is no configuration mistake (since the upgrade to 4.2.x) I've downgraded VirtualBox back to latest 4.1.22 (r80657) and voila - the OSX Guest worked again without any change to the VBox configuration!
So there still must be any other error that blocks booting of OSX/EFI Guests on 4.2.x.
Is there anybody who can confirm/disconfirm that? If there is anybody able to run OSX Guests using EFI please let us know how.
So please re-open these bugtrack...
BTW: I also tried the EFI-Hacks for X86 Machines using a tiny Bootloader-ISO that should help PC's running (Intel-based) OSX-Guests without EFI (also known as "Hackintosh" Loaders). But none of these tools worked yet for me (tested on real PC and VirtualBox).
comment:6 Changed 8 years ago by grahamperrin
This is a significant, and most welcome change.
Please, is the changeset reference known?
fixed in 4.2.1
Is it too late to improve the changelog https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog for 4.2.2?
Thanks :-)

(Side note: in an earlier edition of this comment I was a bit stroppy. It was misplaced anger, a reaction to bad manners that were shown to me in a different area of the virtualbox.org domain. This ticket with its fix was a rotten place for me to throw a strop – sorry!)

Fitbit, a San Francisco startup that creates wristbands so users can track their activity and sleep, has decided to recall one of their products after users complained of blisters and rashes.
In an open letter, Fitbit chief executive James Park apologized for the problem affecting the Fitbit Force and said the company has been investigating the cause. From his letter:
All Force materials are commonly used in consumer products. However, some users may be reacting to the nickel present in the surgical grade stainless steel used in the device. Other users are likely experiencing an allergic reaction to the materials used in the strap or the adhesives used to assemble the product.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Park said that Fitbit would no longer sell the Force product. "We . . . have decided to conduct a voluntary recall. We are offering a refund directly to consumers for full retail price." Users can also visit a company website to get a refund.
The problem started going public last month when the Consumerist posted about users complaining about blisters and rashes on the Fitbit forums after using the $129 Force.

A team of three Hope College students has won a bronze medal, placing in the top half among 77 teams from around the world participating in the 2011 University Physics Competition for undergraduate students.
The Hope team consisted of junior Matthew Eiles, a physics and mathematics major from Beaverton, Ore.; junior Andrew McCubbin, a computer science and physics major and mathematics minor from Galesburg; and senior Caitlin Taylor, a physics major and mathematics minor from Kalamazoo.
Working at their home institutions in teams of up to three, the participating students prepared formal solution papers to one of two problems posted on the competition's website late in the day on Friday, Nov. 4. The competitors had a total of 48 hours to complete their work. The results were announced in December.
"We were certain these three students would rise to the challenge and do very well in the strong international competition. The enthusiasm they expressed when they first learned about the competition seemed only to grow as the weekend approached and never faltered, even in the wee hours of Sunday morning," said Dr. Catherine Mader, who is a professor of physics and served as the Hope team's advisor. "Their five-page summary of their solution is very impressive and we're quite proud of what they accomplished."
A total of 21 teams were ranked as Bronze Medal Winners. Another two teams were ranked as Gold Medal Winners and 14 teams ranked as Silver Medal Winners, with the remaining 40 teams ranked as Accomplished Competitors.

He statistically has more chances when not with Orr than with Orr. But continue talking because one game is a better indicator than thousands.
Leafs out shoot tampa and lose. This shows the problem with using advanced stats and shots differentials to coach. The game missed a bit of 4th line grit via Orr/Mclaren.
And these advanced stats folks talking about scoring chances refuse to admit kadri's scoring chances are down these last few games because Carlyle is not putting orr and mclaren on his line occassionaly.
st louis has to make the team………..if he doesnt stamkos wouldnt play as well as he could on the team. Stamkos st louis duo is the best in the nhl and it would be a waste to keep them out. Toews makes the third line centre and deuchene will probably be on the 4th line. Tavares, getzlaf and e.t.c. are so amazing but are not good enough to make the cut. Either way i think if they get goaltending its gonna be an easy gold for canada
No way that Duchene is in before Getzlaf OR Tavares.
also yzerman is gm of the lightning and i think he would understand his actual talent and would be a lil bit bias on top of that

GOLD trades below key support on correction as it remains vulnerable. On the downside, support comes in at the 1,520.00 level where a break will turn attention to the 1,510.00 level. Further down, a cut through here will open the door for a move lower towards the 1,500.00 level. Below here if seen could trigger further downside pressure targeting the 1,490.00 level. Conversely, resistance resides at the 1,540.00 level. Further out, resistance resides at the 1,550.00 level where a break will aim at the 1,560.00 level. A turn above there will expose the 1,570.00 level. Further out, resistance stands at the 1,580.00 level.

Commerce City, Colo. - Coach Oscar Pareja knows that injuries are a part of sports. That's why he's been working to continue to improve the depth of the team and to build a roster that can withstand whatever situation may arise.
When the Rapids host Montreal on Saturday, Pareja will be without the services of at least eight players, all out with various ailments. But as he told ColoradoRapids.com last week, he won't use it as excuse to change his possession-oriented philosophy, and he is confident in the players he has to carry out the task.
MORE: Smith takes big step in returning from ACL surgery
"Our credibility does not rely on only 11 players, but with the entire roster," coach Oscar Pareja said. "I expect the players who replace those who are injured to take advantage of their opportunity to be in the starting 11. It's not easy. We have important players that are injured, but I will be the first to show confidence in the players who are playing, and they have to do just as good a job, if not better."
Here's a diagram of who is unavailable due to injury as of May 24, 2012:
