A. Robert Hirschfeld
Rob Hirschfeld grew up attending the Episcopal Church in Connecticut but fell away from the church during high school. A study of the English devotional poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, and some more modern English and American poets led Rob to reconsider how to think and talk about faith in Christ and God as Trinity.
Eventually, and as the result of some profound experiences of grace and openings of spirit, he began to pursue the priesthood and was ordained at Christ Church, New Haven on the Feast of the Confession of St. Peter (January 18), 1992. Since then he has served parishes located on or near college campuses: Yale, the University of Connecticut, and the Five College region of Western Massachusetts. He has also served on a variety of diocesan committees and a seminary board of trustees. He is married to Polly Merritt Ingraham, and they have three children, William, Cora, and Henry. Rob writes poetry and theological ruminations, paints with mixed media, and sculls on the nearby majestic Connecticut River.

Zero meat content, some low quality grains, controversial filler
This product is a veterinary diet. Our comments relate solely to our opinion of the ingredients used in this product and cannot replace medical advice relating to disease.
The main ingredient in this food is grain. Even if of good quality, grains are not a natural foodstuff for a canine, and dog foods should be based on meat. This product, in fact, contains no meat at all but instead uses soy protein isolate as a protein source. Soy is a low quality protein source compared to meat, and is commonly associated with food allergy problems in dogs. Only the fourth ingredient in the food, there is very little protein in this product.
Chicken fat is the third ingredient. We note that research at Purdue university has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
The primary ingredients in the food are rice and corn. Rice is generally a good quality grain, but corn is a low quality grain in dog food products, that is difficult to digest and commonly associated with food allergy problems. Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Overall, the product is primarily a collection of mixed-quality grains and fillers. There is very little meat content for the canine. It is noted that the food is not adequate for maintenance, and is not intended by the manufacturer for long term use.

Colorado DOT
Amy Ford of the Colorado Department of Transportation says the "MILE 420" on a highway was stolen repeatedly, and officials replaced it with a sign that says "MILE 419.99."
A sign marking the mile 420 on a Colorado highway was replaced with one that reads "MILE 419.99" — after the old one was repeatedly stolen by weed-enthusiasts, according to the state's transportation department.
The 420 sign on Interstate 70 east of Denver was altered "within the last year," but a Twitter post on Friday attracted attention to the low-key new sign over the weekend, Amy Ford, the communications director at the Colorado Department of Transportation, told NBC News Sunday.
The number 420 has long been a codeword for marijuana smokers, although the origin of the slang is hazy.
Ford couldn't say how many times the 420 sign had been lifted in its history but said, "It was stolen frequently enough that we decided to switch our tags."
Colorado only has one other highway that runs long enough to need a 420 mile marker and although the department of transportation hasn't changed that one, they did move a 69 mile marker half a mile and label it 68.5 to avoid theft, Ford said.
While a difference of .01 mile doesn't sound like much, the 419.99 marker stands more than 50 feet away from where the old sign was posted.
"We are nothing if not precise," said Ford.
But Ford remained lighthearted about the situation. "It's just one of those funny things," she said.
"I expect they'll still get together in celebration," she said.
Ford also expects the 419.99 sign won't last much longer, even though the change has effectively warded off souvenir-seekers in the past. "I'm sure with all attention we've gotten, it'll disappear again," she said.

If someone asked me to list the reasons why I love football in Germany, I could probably fill up two sides of A4 about the stadiums alone, writes David Tunnicliffe. However, if I was to do the opposite and try and write a list of things I hate about German football, it would contain one, solitary item: Friday 6 p.m. kick-offs. The bane of my existence as a football supporter working a normal 9 to 5 office-type job. A Union Berlin-supporting friend of mine was telling me that even for him as a Berlin resident, it's often quite tight to make it for kick-off to the Alte Försterei. How are away fans supposed to manage it? One of main pillars of last year's "Zum Erhalt der Fankultur" fan demo in Berlin was for the DFB and DFL to start organising kick-off times to be more fan-friendly. Currently, three 2. Bundesliga matches take place on a Friday night, with another one taking place on the Monday night - and that doesn't look like it'll change in the near future.
One reason to be cheerful at the end of 2010-11, apart from Union staying up only after making heavy weather of it for a large majority of the season, was the promotion of SG Dynamo Dresden from the 3. Liga into the 2. Bundesliga. In terms of Friday night matches, Dresden is the only other city apart from Leipzig (where I live) that I could make it to to watch my beloved Union - and a trip to the "Florence of the Elbe" was one I was looking forward to. Oh, and there's the small matter of the rivalry between the team, something which is deeply rooted in the GDR days and the use of the word "Dynamo" in their name. My hopes for a more comfortable Saturday or Sunday afternoon kick-off were soon dashed by the authorities, with the match being scheduled for the Friday evening. Right, I thought, no problem - get hold of a ticket, book the handy 4:30pm train from Leipzig and you'll be sorted. Right? What could possibly go wrong?
On the day of the match, I was continually checking my train's progress across Germany because, although rail travel in Germany is much more efficient and reliable than back home, there is always a chance that things can go wrong, and especially on a Friday afternoon. Everything was running perfectly on schedule (although trying to concentrate on work was proving difficult) until about half an hour before I was due to leave... there had been a "one-under", as I believe it's called in the rail industry, between Leipzig and Riesa and Deutsche Bahn whacked a massive red "+60 min" of doom next to my train on the departure board. Disaster.
As a result, at kick-off I wasn't singing my heart out in the packed away terrace, I was sat on a stationary train in Falkenberg. Fortunately, I was able to keep up to date with the score on my phone through the excellent 1. FC Union Berlin Facebook and Twitter feeds (including pictures of the dapper Union lot all dressed in red). Arriving at Dresden Hauptbahnhof at about 6:30 p.m., I immediately sprinted towards the ground. In retrospect, I probably should have taken a taxi, but I guessed that I could follow another guy who I'd overheard on the train saying that he was also going to the match. What I hadn't realised was that this man was Dresden's very own Usain Bolt and, after losing him around a corner, I hadn't a clue where I should be going. Fortunately, a couple of nice police officers helped me out and showed me where to get into the away end. Finally, the Rudolph-Harbig-Stadion (or Glücksgas Stadion if you want to say it like an idiot) came into view.
The stadium was rebuilt piece-by-piece during the 2007/08 season from a decrepit roof-less bowl famed for its floodlights, known as "the giraffes", into a smart, modern box-type stadium. As standard in new stadia in Germany, there is one huge section of terracing behind the goal for the most vocal home fans and/or ultras, with the away fans being housed in the opposite corner in a steep, kind of V-shaped terrace.
To be brutally honest, it's hard to be complimentary about Dresden fans, for ideological and political reasons, but I'll try to focus solely on the fan culture. The K block terracing behind the goal is very impressive, as is their slow "DY-NA-MO" clapping chant thing.
They also have a great array of pun-tastic banners such as one simply containing word "Gelbsucht", which means "jaundice" but literally means "addiction to yellow". I missed it of course, but they put on another impressive pre-match choreography depicting a scared/crying bear (the symbol of Berlin) with the words "Welcome to the lion's lair".
After arriving, I quickly located my friends in the block and got the lowdown on the first half. Apparently Union had been playing OK, but Dresden had taken their chance and led 1-0. As the second half kicked off, Union then had a chance straight away, but Terrode wasn't able to convert it. This was when things started to go wrong. Dresden had a 15-minute period in which they scored three times and had one (or maybe two?) disallowed. It was difficult to keep track to be honest. Anyway, this knocked the stuffing out the Union supporters and, despite valiant efforts from a number of Union fans in the block, the rest of the match was spent trying to antagonise the Dresden lot about 10 metres to our left. As expected, they didn't seem to care. I have to admit it, after the final whistle there were some unsavoury scenes from the Union fans, something I never thought I would see. There was booing and whistling at the team and chants of "(Uwe) Neuhaus raus", which rather conveniently rhymes perfectly. I thought Union fans were different and supported their team to the hilt. I guess this incident should just be put down to pure frustration.
I had a more sensible gap between the final whistle and my train back, but I was still anxious to get back to the main station, especially as I was an away fan at a category A match. Dynamo had laid on buses from the stadium to the station for the Union fans, but as I wasn't going on the football special back to Berlin and I had no desire to attempt to explain to a policeman that I was an Englishman (therefore no German ID card) Union fan living in Leipzig, I decided to walk it. There were plenty of Dresden troublemakers around trying to rub as much salt into the wound as physically possible but, despite a significant number of Union ultras leaving the ground with a minimal police presence, things were kept under control. I zipped up my jacket (thank god I had brought that with me) to hide my red T-shirt and hot-footed it towards the station. Again, the majority of Dresden's fanbase is not exactly pleasant (although I've met some proper sound Dynamo fans before) so I followed that time-honoured advice of keeping my mouth shut and getting on with it. Dodging the skinheads and the bemused groups of Japanese tourists, I got a great view of the police trying to separate the two sets of fans. There was posturing on both sides, but it largely remained trouble-free. 'Till next year, Dresden.

Office of Campus Technology (OCT)
The Office of Campus Technology (OCT) was originally organized as the Office of Technology and Distance Learning (OTDL) in July 1998 to consolidate computing center, academic computing and media services into one cohesive unit to emphasize the importance of technology in higher education and to facilitate the offering of campus programs to off-campus sites through distance learning (DL) technology. However, in recent years, it is apparent that to have a successful, sustainable and significant DL programs at UH Hilo, it must involve the academic departments and colleges to have the academic disciplines own and administer the DL program. The role of our division is to provide the technology (e.g., HITS, web-based, podcasting, and streaming) and training to facilitate the development and delivery of these programs. Thus, the name change truly reflects our division's mission.
OCT is headed by the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) reporting directly to the Chancellor. Under CTO, the division is organized into three units:
- The Technology Services and Support (TSS) unit is responsible for supporting the Administrative Computing in BANNER, FMIS, and various other systems; telecommunication network both hardware and software, wireless and hardwired; network security; and network and various campus servers.
- The Instruction Technology and User Services (ITUS) unit consists of the Academic Computing Services; Help Desk; ITV/HITS Services; Classroom Technology Services; and Instructional Technology Services.
- The Publishing Services (PS) is made up of the Web Services and Print Publishing Services.
In addition OCT maintains a Help Desk to assist faculty/staff with their computer needs.
UH Hilo technology policies are governed by the UH policy E2.210: Use and Management of Information Technology Resources. Additional policies and information are also available here:

Everything being equal, a person cannot deliver him/herself from a coming wrath. It is beyond our own ability to deliver ourselves from sin with its aftermath. Everyone is found guilty with an act that is evil.
The Christian Bible teaches that man is a sinner and can never earn salvation by what he or she does, Romans 3:10. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23. We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
The word salvation has a wide and broad definition. In a common meaning it means 'being saved'. Salvation from the Bible point of view means 'deliverance from sin and the consequences of sin; danger or suffering'
God in His divine wisdom understood the need for a deliverer. One who will come and rescue humanity from the bondage of sin. The kind of delivery at hand was not a mere one. No one on earth was qualified to embark on that rescue journey. And so we ask ourselves:
Who has saved us?
In the book of Acts 4:12 Peters says, 'Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved'
Galatians 1:3-4, 'Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father'
Paul again says 'For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin…' 2 Corinthians. 5:21.
Jesus is the one who saved us as the scripture says.
How has Jesus Christ saved us?
It's really simple, though tough. It was by His death on the cross. His death on the cross has served as a compensation for our sins and the consequences (punishment) that comes with it. Therefore anyone who believes and comes to Jesus has no sin issue to discuss with the Father; your sins have already been catered for.
'Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life' Romans 6:3-4
Romans 4:25, 'He was delivered to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification'.
The plan God had to deliver us was through Jesus' death and resurrection.
What has Jesus saved us from?
In the Christianity, we are saved from "wrath," that is, from God's judgment of sin (Romans 5:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
This means that Jesus Christ is the only one who came to deliver us from sin and its results. God initiated a plan to save us through Him. By this way, God has made Him the Savior of humanity. Therefore through Jesus, we have overcome sin and live free from the consequences of sin. Jesus is therefore the only way to salvation.
"Jesus Christ is the salvation plan of God for humanity"

A Group is Absalom Scott in Cumberland Co. KY He was in the northern part of Cumberland Co. KY
B Group * Nimrod Sr, John, and Jacob and I am adding sister Anne Scott m to Jesse Ashlock. 6 Sept 1785 in Pittsylvania Co. VA
Isaac is mentioned as another potential brother. William is also mentioned in deeds and other data. Two Children from two of these boys married and came to Cumberland Co. KY Clement is a nephew and his sister ma William Scott. All came by wagon train 1803=1806 Cumberland Co, KY.
Nimrod Scott Sr did not arrive until around 1817 -1820. I think this is also the time that Shadrack came to Cumberland Co. KY. Shadrack* is the son of John*, son of Thomas.
They lived in the south central portion of the county and were spread early, from state line, to the north, along the Kettle Creek and on Pearidge up to at least Galloway Creek. Largest group of descendants in the Cumberand area were in this region.
C Group Henry, Thomas and Samuel were in Cumberland Co Ky prior to 1810. They lived side by side indicating kinship.
It is believed Thomas was over 45 and possible the father. They settled in the Illwill and Spring Creek area. southeastern section of Cumberland Co. KY. ILLWILL (?) spelling in book.
D Group Reuben Scott Sr., William Scott, bought 21 Nov 1806 Kettle Creek 100 acres . Rueben Sr was born in Va. It is surmised that Rueben is the son of Nimrod Sr. as they were all ministers. (more later)
This family does seem to tie into the B Group. Research was done long ago and it is thought that as of today we may
find more links with more people looking and searching.
More to follow.

Hi guys and gals
I'm new to this page and fairly new to kite surfing and advise would be greatly appreciated.
I fly an Flexifoil Ion 5 10.5m that is probably not the best kite to start off with. Every time I crash it in light medium wind I can not get the damn thing off the water without less than 10 minutes struggle and being pulled along to hell and back.
i want to change my kite to an user friendly beginner kite with easy relaunch that I can buy a smaller size to teach my girl with and use in stronger winds.
I have heard tons off hype about North rebel, F one Bandits and basically every kite out there but all seems to use marketing gimmicks instead of telling the truth.
Can anyone advise a beginner kite that wont murder me and not make me fill the Swear jar in one session please?

A Sandwich A Day: BBQ Pulled Pork Panino from Indian Road Cafe
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
If there's a pulled pork sandwich on a menu, I'm going to get it. The BBQ Pulled Pork Panino($10) from Indian Road Cafe in Inwood oozes with apple-chipotle barbecue sauce, but doesn't drench the meat; although the sauce is very faintly spicy, it's the sweetness of the pulled pork that has me getting this sandwich over and over again. The ciabatta bread has a crunch when bitten into; the pork is always tender and juicy, and is nicely accented by the melted fontina cheese. It's a sandwich that is meant to be savored.

No-Fee Equivalent Interest Rate Chart
It can be difficult to compare loans because of differences in the interest rates and fees. For example, which is the less expensive loan:
Please note that this calculator does not involve net present value adjustments. A loan with up-front fees is somewhat more expensive than the equivalent loan with no fees, since the fees are paid earlier in the lifetime of the loan.

Just west of Quebec City, and just east of Resume Speed, lies the sleepy town of St. Agapit, where Stephen Harper delivered a slashing partisan speech last week, with both Stéphane Dion and Gilles Duceppe squarely in his sights.
Why would the prime minister spend an evening where the highway through town is also called Rue Principale? Because towns like St. Agapit are part of the Conservative hopes to grow from minority to majority status at the next election.
It's called their 418 strategy, after the area code for Quebec City and eastern Quebec. This is where the Conservatives established their Quebec beachhead in 2006, and have since emerged as the competitive alternative to the Bloc Québécois.
There are more seats in the 418 than in the 514 phone code on the island of Montreal, the last Liberal stronghold in the province, and the 418's seats are a lot more available to the Conservatives. The voters in the 418 are an extremely homogenous "pool of accessibles." They are predominantly small-town or rural, overwhelmingly francophone, and almost exclusively white.
In the choir of 100 or people arranged behind Harper for the St. Agapit photo op, there wasn't a single non-white face. For that matter, the speech audience of 1,500 wasn't exactly an advertisement for the Bouchard-Taylor commission's recommendations about inter-culturalism. But the people here vote, and they tend to vote together, so that when one seat in the 418 falls, most of them tend to fall in the same direction.
This, at least, is what the Conservatives are pinning many of their hopes on for the next election. It's the main reason they held their national caucus last week not in Quebec City as part of Quebec 400 celebrations, but across the St. Lawrence River in Lévis, at a convention centre and hotel so new that cable television still wasn't connected in all the rooms.
Lévis is the same town where Stephen Harper's late campaign surge was stopped by a single soundbite in January 2006, when he observed that the voters had nothing to fear from a Conservative majority, not with the courts and civil service dominated by Liberal appointees. In the subsequent media furor, the Liberals accused Harper of a hidden agenda to pack the courts and revive abortion legislation. The Conservatives fell by five points in Ontario in five days; 15 seats disappeared.
Harper wasn't making any such mistakes last week at his caucus-closing press conference in Lévis. Instead, for the second day running he threw down an election gauntlet to Dion. After daring the Liberal leader to "fish or cut bait" on an election in his St. Agapit speech Wednesday, Harper vowed Thursday that the Liberals wouldn't be permitted to turn parliamentary committees into a "kangaroo court" of inquiry into embarrassing Conservative files such as the Julie Couillard affair or the "in-and-out" campaign financing matter.
The Conservatives are convinced they have Dion on the run on his proposal for a carbon tax, which the Liberals insist will be revenue-neutral because of tax cuts, but which Harper portrays as just another new tax.
Harper went after Dion hard in his St. Agapit speech, taunting him for his same old song of always threatening an election. He dared Dion to force one if he truly wants "the real debate" he has been demanding on his carbon tax proposal. Having previously dismissed the Liberals' "Green Shift" as "crazy," a decidedly extreme characterization, Harper this time called it "complicated and almost incomprehensible."
He is not wrong about that. It takes charts and graphs to understand the Green Shift, which the Tories have gleefully called the Green Shaft. Most people probably see it that way, especially when they're filling up at the local gas station.
Anecdotally, the Conservatives are convinced that Dion's proposal is not playing well in any region of the country. Certainly not in British Columbia, where Premier Gordon Campbell's numbers are in a meltdown since his carbon tax took effect last month. Definitely not in the energy-producing provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. And probably not in Quebec, where there doesn't appear to be any enthusiasm for the idea, or for the leader proposing it.
This is the heart of Dion's problem. While he is definitely standing for something, and courageously so, he is making the national political question about him, rather than about the governing party. And making it about Dion is not a good idea in Quebec, least of all in the 418. He is a native son of the region, born and raised in Quebec City, but he is not a favourite son.

The Good News is that Patrick is FOREVER in the home of the Scavelli's…. YAHOOO !!!!
It is OFFICIAL: Patrick gets to stay with the Scavelli's!!!!! Congratulations to the Scavelli's on their latest addition, for taking such good care of Patrick, very exciting !!!!
Patrick Court Update : Will post information later BUT I would like everyone to know that Patrick is now PATRICK SCAVELLI, it is official the Scavelli's were granted legal custody of Patrick. NJSPCA could not be happier with the outcome for Patrick and the Scavelli's. Thank you all for your support. Capt Yocum
The Bad News
all Kisha Curtis got was 18 months probation for starving a dog, neglecting and abandoning him and almost killing Patrick. if she had killed Patrick, what would she have gotten 30 days in jail?????? this sucks
we have waited more than two years to hear her verdict… and yes, Patrick's Law just went into effect with higher penalties so WHY DIDN'T SHE GET JAIL????
What do you think? Yes, am happy that Patrick is well, happy and healthy with the Scavelli's… but Kisha Curtis deserves to be in jail for at least a couple of years or more… She has a few kids, maybe the judge thought it better for her to stay home and abuse, neglect, abandon and starve them.
my major concerns are that KC did not even know/understand that she did anything wrong, she kept pleading not guilty and there is no remorse nor learning if a person does not get that they did something wrong to begin with…
and what kind of message does this send to other abusers? if Patrick's Law really means something then how about starting with the case that called for the need for it… if Patrick's Law has no teeth, then why bother? to pretend you did something? abusers need to be held accountable for their actions
a bouncing healthy boy Patrick Scavelli… It's Official…

The issues arising out of our separation were really effecting our ability to be parents. I am so glad we were able to develop a plan that reduced the conflict and allowed us to refocus on what was really important-our children!
I felt like I had the opportunity to speak and I was listened to
We were able to work together to come up with a plan for our children
I felt like we were working with the CAS as opposed to fighting against them
Everything was taking so long in court but we were able to work out a plan quickly in child protection mediation

Hip and knee surgery have come a long way, baby. Just ask Alexander Rosenstein, MD, who has been instrumental in helping to advance orthopedic surgery for his patients over the past 25 years.
Rosenstein was a bioengineer before going into medicine, which led him to improve some of the very techniques and devices used in his profession today. He holds U.S. and Canadian patents as well as Food and Drug Administration approval for implant designs used in joint reconstruction.
"I like to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine so patients can have a better quality of life," Rosenstein said.
Rosenstein graduated from the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology with a degree in bioengineering. He then earned his medical
degree from the University of Minnesota School of Medicine and completed his orthopedic residency training at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center. Rosenstein was awarded the Girdlestone Scholarship and completed his fellowship training in adult reconstruction and joint replacement at Oxford University.
Rosenstein is one of the first U.S. orthopedic surgeons to implant the Oxford Unicompartmental Knee, which allows for restoration of complex, normal motion of the knee. This minimally-invasive procedure preserves bone and ligaments and is usually associated with less discomfort after surgery, faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay.
"With unicompartmental knee replacement, we don't have to replace the entire knee," Rosenstein said. "We can preserve the parts of the knee that are still in adequate condition, and only replace the damaged parts of the knee. It only requires a small incision, and it does not completely change the mechanics of the knee as total knee replacement devices do."
Muskuloskeletal issues are at the forefront of the aging U.S. population, with an estimated 50 million Americans suffering from arthritic disorders and half of them reporting significant disability. But orthopedic problems don't just affect the elderly.
According to the National Arthritis Foundation, baby boomers are now at prime risk for arthritis. More than half those affected are under age 65, and as a result, arthritis is now the leading cause of disability in the U.S.
"Hip and knee replacement surgery is one of the greatest medical advances of our time. These procedures can improve a person's quality of life by relieving pain, improving range of motion, and restoring function. There are also many effective non-surgical techniques, including a variety of injections and bracing that can prolong the use of joints before surgery is necessary."
It is estimated that over 700,000 hip and knee replacements are performed in the United States each year.
A replacement joint that wears out, loosens or develops a problem can be resurfaced or revised with a second procedure, called joint revision surgery, which Rosenstein specializes in.
Joint revision is more complex than the original procedure because of the alteration to a patient's bone structure that was made during the initial surgery, but it is likely to become more common as an increasing number of younger patients (under 55 to 60) have joint replacement surgery and as the population continues to live longer and outlive their implants.
To promote patients' comfort and to expedite the recovery after joint replacement surgery, Rosenstein uses "multi-modal" pain management techniques that involve combining medications and administering them at key times during and after surgery to effectively control pain with fewer side effects.
In the past when using narcotics alone following joint replacement surgery, patients had to experience pain before it was treated, which resulted in more pain and required more medication to relieve pain, thereby increasing the chance of side effects. With multi-modal pain management, the goal is to stay ahead of the pain so patients can recover faster.
With so many options in joint replacement surgery and therapies today, Rosenstein says people don't have to live in pain or leave the area for the most advanced procedures.
"We've redefined orthopedic surgery in recent years so patients of all ages have more options and can live active lives longer," Rosenstein said. "Best of all, everything patients need can be found right here."
Dr. Rosenstein is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and specializes in adult hip and knee, joint preservation, joint replacement and revision surgery.
Before joining CAMC Physicians Group as director of reconstructive and orthopedic surgery in January 2013, Rosenstein served as professor of orthopaedic surgery and chief of adult reconstruction division at the University of Texas Medical School Houston and adjoint professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Texas Austin. He has held academic positions of assistant clinical professor of orthopaedic surgery at the University of California Irvine and associate professor of the department of orthopaedic surgery and adjunct associate professor of the department of mechanical engineering at Texas Tech University. Rosenstein has also served as chief of surgery and chief of medical staff at South Coast Medical Center in Laguna Beach, CA.
Rosenstein has co-authored a book for arthritis sufferers titled: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Shoulder, Hip and Knee Arthritis but Didn't Know What to Ask.

The Greatest Animated Disney Villains
List Rules Villain characters from Disney animated movies computer-animated films
Who is the greatest animated Disney villain? Everyone, it seems, has a favorite. Over the decades, Disney movies have given moviegoers some of the most dastardly (and, as with so many movie villains, immaculately dressed) villains in cinema history. They may be animated, but that doesn't mean they aren't, well, mean! This list includes some of the best Disney movie villains ever but are specifically villians in animated movies, so be sure to vote for your favorites, vote down the villains you don't think are worthy of the top spots, and add any disney villains who are missing.
Vote: The Best Disney Princesses
Disney villains come in many forms. Some, like the evil sorcerer Jafar ('Aladdin') and the "Mistress of All Evil,' Maleficent ('Sleeping Beauty'), have magical powers that allow them to wreak havoc on their poor, unsuspecting victims. Great Walt Disney movie villains may also be "regular" people who are simply bad apples.
Speaking of bad apples, Queen Grimhilde, from Disney's classic 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' didn't necessarily have magical powers, but she was cruel beyond measure to Snow White, and a schemer of the highest order. Certainly, the same could be said of the horrible, no good Cruella de Vil from Disney's '101 Dalmatians.'
Rank: The Best Movie Villains of All Time
Some of the best Disney movie villains aren't even human. Examples? How about the evil python Kaa from 'The Jungle Book'? And without question Scar, the power hungry, sinister baby brother of Mufasa in 'The Lion King' is worthy of a spot on this list. Finally, last but certainly not least, the Big Bad Wolf from Walt Disney's 'Three Little Pigs' is a menacing character.
Which Disney film villain is your favorite?

This talk will introduce Plumbing, a set of tools to support artists and makers in the programming of low-cost, open-hardware platforms like the Arduino. Plumbing is a library of parallel components written in occam-pi, a small language with a long history. Erlang, Clojure, Go, and the XMOS XC programming language all draw from the linguistic traditions pioneered three decades ago by occam-pi.
Our talk will explore parallel programming with Plumbing through a sequence of programs, each six lines or less. We will start by blinking lights in parallel, show how we can respond to unpredictable sensory input from the world around us, and close with a demonstration of distributed programming. Each of these activities helps illustrate and make accessible a fundamental pattern of parallelism.
We will close with a brief discussion of our initial research regarding the usability of Plumbing by novice programmers, and how those results will help guide the future development of our tools.
Matt is passionate about the design and development of usable languages for embedded control. To this end, he his carries out human-centered research regarding how novices learn to program as well as technical explorations of parallel languages for tiny computers. Most recently, he and his collaborators have launched concurrency.cc, a rallying point for parallel programming on the popular Arduino platform. Matt keeps himself busy as a member of the faculty at Allegheny College as well as chasing around a now very mobile baby boy.
Christian is interested in furthering the use of parallel languages on small embedded devices in a way that makes them accessible to novice and expert alike. In this light he created the Transterpreter, a small virtual machine for embedded parallel programming. Christian now works on the Plumbing framework, a set of components that can be used to introduce parallel programming on embedded devices to novices. When not working on those things, he teaches at the department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen.

I'm really sorry my Clojure talk was opposite this one, I was looking forward to attending.

Watch The Boondocks – a Successful Modern Satire
The Aaron McGruder comic strip comes to life in the animated TV series The Boondocks. Brothers Riley and Huey Freeman find it challenging to mesh their culture with that of the Chicago suburbs when they move in with their grandfather. The duo has a way of stirring up trouble in their new neighborhood, but Granddad Robert Freeman is just eccentric enough to keep the young boys in line. With roughly 8 years worth of comic strip archives to work from, The Boondocks provided plenty of material for a weekly, animated TV show. If you've missed it on television, you can now watch The Boondocks episodes for free online.
Target Audience
Despite its animated format, The Boondocks is appropriate for a more mature audience, and therefore airs during the "Adult Swim" block of programming on the Cartoon Network. Much of the humor is derived from references to current events, political leaders, and a strong left-wing take on topics like terrorism and race relationships that may be inappropriate or fail to appeal to younger viewers. For this reason, you and your family should watch The Boondocks responsibly. Note that the episodes may air in slightly censored format for television and that the episodes on DVD are unrated.
Conflict & Controversy
As anyone who has had a chance to watch The Boondocks can tell you, the subject matter tends to be controversial. In fact, scenes and entire episodes have been banned from airing, and can only be found on the DVDs of the show. The satire is risqué in nature, uses language that some may find offensive, and often pokes fun at public figures and politicians. Condoleezza Rice and Larry Elder are among the many celebrities whom McGruder has taken jabs at through the cartoon. The issues that arise in The Boondocks spark healthy conversations and challenge viewers to be more responsible consumers of the news and media.
The unapologetic satire is what draws in many viewers to watch The Boondocks, but it also raises problems for the television stations that air the show, and McGruder has even received hate mail addressing some of his strong opinions. The Boondocks made the Time Magazine top ten list of the most controversial cartoons of all time, along with South Park, The Simpsons, and Family Guy.
Where to Watch The Boondocks
The Boondocks premiered on television in 2005 and after several hiatus' is back on the air with Season 4 so you can look forward to another year of episodes to watch, starting in late April 2014 with updates right here on Boondocks.net. The Boondocks is an award-winning series that maintains a strong fan base and continues to win over new viewers with each episode aired. You can watch The Boondocks on Adult Swim in the US, or various Cartoon or Comedy channels around the world. The first two seasons have been released on DVD, and you also have the option to watch The Boondocks online to catch any episodes you've missed.

Snow and no socks
It's the first day of Spring!
Here's what that looks like at my house -- sunbathing!
Sorry. I know for some of you there was a fresh dump of snow. Put it this way -- all it ever does it rain, rain, rain here in Vancouver. For weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks at a time. This, here, is not the common March face of Canada's west coast. Even?
Here's Jennifer Lawrence in Boston with no socks in the snow heading to work on the new David O Russell movie, also starring Bradley Cooper's perm. It'll be their third film together. Lawrence has kept a very low profile since winning Oscar three weeks ago. She was seen lighting up in Hawaii and then, astutely, disappeared. I know I keep saying it, but yes, the can disappear if they want to.
Lawrence is also expected to begin shooting the new X-Men movie soon and then in the fall she'll be promoting both Serena on the festival circuit and Catching Fire for big box office. It's quite a career right now.

Scouting GABF 2015: John Verive previews the Pacific region (Southern California)
This is the ninth and final installment in this year's Scouting GABF 2015 series of previews of breweries pouring at the Great American Beer Festival, which opens Thursday in Denver. We've invited beer writers from across the country to weigh in on the GABF 2015 regions. We've also asked everyone to throw in a few wild cards — breweries from anywhere in the country they want to check out.
John Verive is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles. He founded the Beer of Tomorrow blog to help bring craft beer knowledge to the beer desert of L.A., and he now covers the beer beat for the Los Angeles Times.

3/4 pound thinly sliced beef, cut into 3-4 inch strips
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
Beef Marinade:
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili paste
1/2 teaspoon chili sauce (Sriracha or other red hot sauce)
1 pound Swiss chard
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/2 pound firm or extra firm tofu
12 shrimp, boiled peeled and butterflied (sliced open lengthwise)
6 rice paper wrappers*
1/2 pound rice stick noodles
Thai or Vietnamese basil (optional)
First, mix marinade ingredients in a small bowl and marinate beef in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Saute mushrooms in oil over high heat. Add beef and stir fry until beef is cooked and sauce has thickened (about 5 - 10 minutes). Cover and remove from heat. Set aside. While the beef is marinating, you can prepare the tofu by cutting it into 1/2 inch slices. Create a stack of them sprinkling salt on each slice. Wrap the stack of tofu slices in a towel and rest a heavy pan on top of the stack for 15 minutes to remove extra water. Remove tofu from towel and cut lengthwise into thin strips.Then, boil rice stick noodles for 5 minutes and blanch in cold water. Cut noodles into bite-sized pieces. Then the greens, tear the Swiss chard into strips. In a large pot with a cover, boil the water and add chard. Cook about 3-5 minutes until chard is tender. Pour out the water and add soy sauce and vinegar
Fill a wide bowl or pot with warm water. Each rice paper wrapper must be soaked individually. For each roll, soak a wrapper until pliable and soft. Remove the wrapper and spread out on a clean surface. Add a 1/4 cup noodles towards the middle of the wrapper. Add a portion of the greens, a portion of the meat, 2 pieces of tofu, 2 shrimp, and basil (if using). Fold the rice paper from both sides in towards the middle, then lift the end closest to you and roll away from you, grabbing all of the filling, and roll until the spring roll is closed. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature.
*Sometimes labeled spring roll wrappers. Not to be confused with refrigerated egg roll wrappers, these are not refrigerated and are round, brittle and translucent.
Yield: 6 rolls

aperture(redirected from apertural)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal.
a. a usually circular and often variable opening in an optical instrument or device that controls the quantity of radiation entering or leaving it
b. the diameter of such an opening
apertureThe diameter of the unobscured portion of the objective lens in a refracting telescope or of the primary mirror in a reflector. In a radio telescope it is the physical size of the antenna. As the aperture is increased, the telescope gathers more light, radio waves, etc., and thus will discern fainter objects: the radiation-gathering power depends on area, i.e. on the square of the aperture. A larger aperture also produces a smaller Airy disk and so has greater spatial resolution.
An opening through which electrons, light, radio waves, or other radiation can pass.
(graphic arts)
A rectangular cutout on an aperture card.
The diameter of the objective of a telescope or other optical instrument, usually expressed in inches, but sometimes as the angle between lines from the principal focus to opposite ends of a diameter of the objective.
aperture(1) An orifice. It often refers to an opening in which light is allowed to pass in optical systems such as cameras and lasers. See f-stop and numerical aperture.
(2) (Aperture) A photo editing and management application for the Mac from Apple. Introduced in 2005 and used by professional photographers, Aperture provides sophisticated touch-up tools and works with the iPhoto library. See iLife.

Among the many tricks that Microsoft has up their sleeve for the impending Windows 8 launch, it would appear that they have taken a liking to the idea of providing digital content. Here's an arena where Microsoft's biggest competitors have not only made huge strides, but created lock-in environments that give consumers a reason to stay with them. So, instead of trying to compete with Amazon and Apple from the ground up (like Google is), Microsoft made a $300 million investment in Barnes and Noble. Specifically, the Barnes and Noble Nook and all of the properties that are included in that name.
The name of the new subsidiary, being formed to contain all of the Nook franchise, has yet to be determined. In the future, Barnes and Noble will be able to sell off the Nook property altogether if they choose to, but there's no current talk of that ever happening. From this point, Microsoft and Barnes and Noble will be in a strategic partnership geared initially towards making the Nook platform available for Microsoft's products.
There's no word so far on what the existing plans are for the current Nook devices, or the availability of the Nook app on other platforms, but it seems unlikely that the next version of the Nook tablet will continue to run the modified version of Android that it is currently using. It's not impossible, especially since Microsoft's first order of business after the deal was finalized offered licenses of the very patents that they had been suing for previously. Since Microsoft now has an ARM version of Windows in their plans, it is probably not far off to assume that the next Nook tablet will be Windows RT based.
There is some question as to the effect of a move away from Android would have on Nook devices. The Nook Color received a lot of attention early on as being the perfect device for Android modders and hackers. While clearly not the target market for the Nook Color, or the Nook Tablet that followed, this vocal minority did a lot early on to shape the platform. A move to Windows RT would more than likely remove any chances of that vocal minority sticking with the platform. While Microsoft has had a very positive outlook on hackers and modders when it comes to Windows Phone, it has been made very clear that Windows RT is not going to be nearly so friendly to that crowd.
This move was a critical one for Microsoft, as the realization that you must offer digital content with your operating system must have set in. Even Ubuntu Linux has placed their hat in the digital content ring with Ubuntu One, so Microsoft must have known that this purchase was about survival in the future. Windows is no longer the "if you build it, they will come" platform, as each of their competitors have developed platforms that make it possible to exist without them. Barnes and Noble has an impressive collection of not only books, but also magazine and newspaper subscriptions that make their platform enticing. Microsoft and Barnes and Noble together will further the agendas of both companies, and help improve the baseline offerings for both the Nook and Windows 8.

Masbia: Reinventing the Soup Kitchen
A restaurant without a cash register.
The phrase "soup kitchen" doesn't exactly ooze dining in comfort. Getting meals to the homeless or hungry is usually a bare-bones affair, involving the most inexpensive food and all the ambiance of a basement cafeteria.
But walking into one of the three soup kitchens run by Masbia in NY feels different. It's part of the quintessentially Jewish way to give tzedaka: preserve the person's dignity. The food is fresh and tasty, it looks like a restaurant, and it is – one where nobody has to pick up the check themselves.
You can find more about Masbia Soup Kitchen Network at http://www.masbia.org/
