Consumption of flavored ice pops could result in a false-positive test for galactomannan, which could have implications for the treatment of immunocompromised patients, a case report showed.
A 42-year-old woman with a myeloproliferative syndrome had negative galactomannan tests until about a month after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, when the index spiked to 2.22 on day 32 and 3.01 on day 34 (0.5 or higher is considered positive), according to Nicolas Guigue, PharmD, of the Hôpital Saint Louis in Paris, and colleagues.
It turned out that the woman, who had no evidence of invasive aspergillosis infection, started eating three or four ice pops each day starting 29 days after the transplant, and that the ice pops contained galactomannan, they reported in a letter to the editor in the July 4 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Physicians should be aware of this unusual cause of interaction with the galactomannan test, which can result in unnecessary investigations and treatments," they wrote.
Galactomannan is found in the cell wall of Aspergillus and testing for it -- primarily in immunocompromised patients -- can detect invasive infections with the fungus.
The patient described in the case report had galactomannan tests performed twice a week starting on the day of the stem cell transplant. When the first positive tests came back about a month after the transplant, the woman had severe gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease but no signs of infection with Aspergillus and no pulmonary or sinus symptoms.
After examining the patient's other intravenous treatments for an explanation for the positive galactomannan test result -- and coming up empty -- her doctors started her on voriconazole on day 35 after the transplant.
When the connection with the ice pops was made the patient stopped eating them, and within a week the galactomannan tests started coming back negative again.
The voriconazole was stopped on day 53. The patient eventually died from graft-versus-host disease and cytomegalovirus infection on day 141, but she had no signs of aspergillosis.
To further examine the interaction between ice pops and false-positive galactomannan tests, the researchers tested 37 ice pops from three different brands. They also checked for fungal DNA.
Of the 37 ice pops, three had Penicillium present and all had high levels of galactomannan. Although the source of the galactomannan in the ice pops could not be nailed down because of a lack of detailed information about the production process, food additives containing galactomannan are one possibility, according to the researchers.
"One possible source is sodium gluconate, which is currently used in Europe and the U.S. as a thickener and stabilizer for water-based frozen desserts and is known to cause false-positive tests for galactomannan," they wrote.
"In our patient," they added, "a mucosal translocation of galactomannan after consumption of the flavored ice pops is a plausible explanation."
Guigue reported that he had no conflicts of interest. His co-authors reported relationships with Bio-Rad, Pfizer, Merck, and Gilead.

Fantaghiro is training to participate in a duel to the death with Romualdo, unaware that the King of Tuan is the young man with whom she is in love.The Black Witch, fearing that Fantaghiro and Romualdo will discover their true personalities and that love will join them together forever, makes a plan for them to never meet each other. A spell made by the Black Witch transforms Carrion into a double of Fantaghiro who then lures Romualdo to the Bottomless Swamp. Our heroine will be devoured by the Shadow Soldiers, malefic creatures whose deformed bodies are "made" of black smoke and are invincible when they move through the night shadows.A diviner crow, following the orders of the White Fairy, wins Romualdo's friendship and warns him of the danger waiting for him when, in the duel, he faces the Scarlet Knight whose identity is unknown. But Romualdo presses on with his plan. His honor forces him to fight.The following day, Fantaghiro–armed as the Scarlet Knight–and Romualdo reach the magical Forest of Oread where the duel is to take place.The White Fairy, assisted by all of the animals in the forest, makes a plan to protect the two lovers from the traps that the Black Witch has set. The White Fairy wants the duel to go ahead in order that the prophecy of the Dragon will be fulfilled and that Fantaghiro and Romualdo, upon discovering their mutual love, will "awaken" the KUORUM, sealing at the same time a lasting peace between their two Kingdoms, without either one being the victor or the vanquished.However, the plans devised by the Black Witch won't make it easy.

Losing a loved one is extremely difficult and trying for everyone, especially if they've been present for your whole life. Picking up the pieces while also trying to deal with the emotional pain can be trying, and stressful. Especially when you have to deal with the costs of death outside of emotions.
The average funeral can, typically, exceed $8,500 in costs and expenses. It can add to the burdens that a family is already enduring and make the experience of losing a loved one all the harder. And that's why you should take it upon yourself to contact a final expense life insurance company.

A federal court ruled that Texas law trumped out-of-state statutory claims asserted by franchisees, even in states whose franchise statutes contained anti-waiver provisions. The initial actions were brought by franchisees asserting claims against Curves and its president in Texas, New Jersey, New York, and Florida federal courts. In addition to other causes of action, Plaintiffs asserted twenty-six (26) claims alleging violations of non-Texas, out-of-state franchise and deceptive trade practices acts. Curves moved to dismiss the out-of-state claims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) based on the Texas choice of law provision in the franchise agreements and on the "most significant relationship" test contained in the Restatement (Second) of Conflicts of Law.
Because Texas had the most significant relationship to the franchisees' claims, the laws of the franchisees' home states, including those states with anti-waiver provisions, were inapplicable. Thus, the court granted Defendants' Rule 12(b) (6) motion and dismissed twenty-six (26) of the thirty-one (31) pending claims. Momentum Marketing Sales & Services, Inc. v. Curves Int'l, Inc., Business Franchise Guide (CCH), ¶14,047 (W.D. Tex. Dec. 17, 2008).

The 2012 Jubilarians: Nurturing Community for 70 Years
Mary Ruth Creamer CSJ
Eileen Ruth Creamer felt at home with the Sisters of St. Joseph from the time she was a child. She had an aunt in the congregation, also Sr. Mary Ruth. Through visits with her and attending St. Joseph's High School on Jarvis Street, she was well acquainted with many Sisters.
The 2012 Jubilarians: Nurturing Community for 60 Years
Ellen Leonard CSJ
I am a teacher. My teaching has taken different forms but all of them have focused on nurturing community. I began my ministry as a Sister of St. Joseph with 51 Grade 1 students followed by eight more years in primary classrooms. At that time we prepared children in Grade 1 to receive the sacraments (First Eucharist and First Reconciliation).
The 2012 Jubilarians: Nurturing Community for 50 Years
Jean Leahy CSJ
The first thing to consider is how much I have been nurtured in community over these years. Great thanks are due for all that has been received through community.
I can think of many examples of nurturing — and being nurtured — in the communities in the various high schools in which I taught and also in the parishes where I served as Pastoral Assistant.
Vatican II... The role of women religious
In this article, Sister Ellen Leonard shares her experiences and perspective of Vatican II.
Fifty years ago, on Oct. 11, 1962, Pope John XXIII formally opened the second Vatican Council. Catholics who experienced Vatican II were profoundly moved by changes to their understanding of church and its mission in the world. The Council was for them a formative experience, one that is difficult to communicate to younger Catholics. All Catholics were invited by their bishops to receive the teachings of the Council, and women religious received the teachings with enthusiasm.
Loretto College: Advocate of Women's Higher Education in the 20th Century

Many vegetables grow just as well in pots as they do in the soil. Knowing exactly what to grow, when and how, that's the tricky bit. In her latest blog Alys shares all you need to know about growing quick and easy vegetables for pots.
In some ways pots are easier than the soil, you can control the conditions in pots, move them around so that they get ideal light conditions, and ensure that they get enough food and water.
The latter is very important because if a pot dries out, particularly if it is sitting in full sun, then the roots of the plant will quickly bake which can be fatal. Watering early in the morning and late evening is best because you don't lose any water to evaporation and the plant gets to drink its fill. Saying that if you can only water in midday, in full sun, forget all those old wives tales that you'll burn the foliage and do it. If a plant is thirsty then all it wants is water.
Your pot needs to be as big as possible, the bigger the better because the more root run a plant has the better it can grow. 10-litre pots with a 25-30 cm diameter are the smallest pot I'd use to grow vegetables. Clearly you don't have to stick to pots. Wine crates, fishmonger boxes, florist buckets, old drawers will all work as long as they have a minimum depth of 8 inches and you put drainage holes in the bottom.
It's best to use peat free compost, if you can choose one formula for pots and containers; it doesn't much matter if it says it's for growing flowers or vegetables, they are all fairly similar. A shop bought compost like this usually has about six weeks worth of food in the formula and after that you have to start feeding your plants on a regular basis.
It is worth investing in a saucer or drip tray because this will help to conserve moisture. Terracotta pots will dry out much quicker than plastic ones. Metal pots tend to heat up a lot if left in a sunny position, so bear that in mind.
As for what to grow, here are a few of my favourites for pots:
Aim to get the seed about 2cm apart, scatter across the top of the compost and cover up with another centimetre of soil or so. They usually take around 4-6 weeks before you are harvesting lovely crisp radishes. To make sure you have a succession to harvest, sow every two weeks.
This is a very easy, fast growing salad crop. Scatter the seed liberally over the compost and water in. You can harvest baby leaves within 4 weeks and mature plants within 6 weeks. If you don't thin your plants out and keep them crowded, the leaves tend to become bitter and tough. So thin as you go aiming to leave three plants or so in a 30cm pot.
This is a lovely herb to have fresh, especially to cook with. It does best growing in partial shade, too much sun and it will bolt going straight to flower. You can grow it as a micro-herb sowing the seed very thickly and harvesting the leaves when they are very small. Or you can give the plants a little more room to mature. I am particularly fond of cooking with fresh green seed and using the roots for Thai cooking, so it's a useful plant even if it has bolted.
Mixed lettuce
Cut and come again mixes, these are readily available and a great way to get a variety of lettuce and salad ingredients in one seed packet. Those that claim to be spicy mixes will have a lot of mustard and rocket in them and are best growing as late summer crop to harvest in autumn. Red and green salad bowl lettuces are lovely and very easy to grow. These make for very attractive pots and you can harvest within 4-6 weeks, cutting the leaves with scissors and watering well so that you get a second flush of leaves a few weeks later. After the third cut, the plants tend to become bitter and tough, particularly if you skimp on watering.

Gray Whale Migration
There is a mystery about these beautiful giants. Like humans, they breathe air, have warm blood, and give birth to live young. However, their home is in the depths of the dark ocean where so much is concealed from our probing human eyes. As gray whales migrate along the Pacific Coast, we may have a brief chance to view them before their return to a world that remains mysterious.
Engaging in the longest migration of any mammal, the California gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) swims ~16,000 kilometers (~10,000 miles) each year, spending about one third of its life migrating from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of Alaska, to the warm, shallow lagoons of Baja California. Along the way, these incredible animals can often be seen from the shores of Point Reyes. What drives the gray whale to undertake this incredible annual round trip from Alaska to Baja? Food and reproduction. They feed for the majority of the year in cold, food-rich waters off of Alaska, but then need to migrate south to the warm, salty lagoons of Baja California where they give birth in the winter.
When is the Gray Whale Migration?
While some gray whale begin their migration from Alaskan waters in October and others don't return to Alaska from Baja California until June, here at Point Reyes National Seashore, the peak of the southern migration usually occurs in mid-January and that of the northern migration in mid-March. Late April and early May afford visitors the best opportunity to see mothers and calves close to shore.
Why is Point Reyes a Good Whale Watching Location?
The headlands of the Point Reyes Peninsula offer one of the finest spots to view the gray whale along the California coast (weather permitting). Offshore lies the Gulf of the Farallones (protected by the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary), which provides a 32-kilometer (20-mile) wide "highway" along which the whales cruise. Similar to automobile travel on U.S. roadways that run north to south, gray whales travel in the western lane (farther out to sea) as they migrate south past Point Reyes in December and January, and in the eastern lane (closer to shore) as they migrate north past Point Reyes in March, April, and May. The Point Reyes Peninsula juts 16 kilometers (10 miles) into the Pacific Ocean, allowing land-based visitors to get closer to the middle of the "highway," rather than only being able to view the whales from the eastern "sidewalk." As a result, whale watchers can potentially see many more whale from the Point Reyes Headlands (e.g., the Chimney Rock and the Point Reyes Lighthouse areas) than from along the park's beaches or most other locations along the California coastline.

Numerous ranger-led programs are offered during the Whale and Elephant Seal Season.
Winter Shuttle Bus System
Due to the high volume of traffic out to the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock areas during the gray whale migration, the park will be operating a shuttle bus system from the Drakes Beach parking lot (usually from New Year's to Easter each year on weekends and holidays—weather permitting). Sir Francis Drake Boulevard from South Beach to the Lighthouse and Chimney Rock areas WILL BE CLOSED to private vehicles—including bicycles—during shuttle operating hours. Check the "Shuttles, Whales, and Elephant Seals" recording at 415-464-5100 x2 x3 x1 for updates on whether shuttles are operating.
Other Species of Cetaceans
While Point Reyes is well known for being a great location for watching the gray whale migration during the winter and spring, a lot of visitors are surprised to see whales during the summer and fall. The waters off of Point Reyes, which are protected within the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, are some of the most diverse and productive in the world. This important marine ecosystem provides feeding grounds for many species of invertebrates, fish (including white sharks), birds, and marine mammals, including dozens of endangered or threatened species. After the gray whale, the humpback whale is the next most sighted whale at Point Reyes. Humpback whales migrate north from waters off of Mexico and Central America, where they spend the winter, to the Gulf of the Farallones, where they feed during the summer and fall. And extremely lucky visitors might get to see blue, fin, minke, or sperm whales. Common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and harbor porpoises can also frequently be seen, with orcas irregularly making an appearance.

Numerous tools like this already exist for Twitter, who has never been anything but forthcoming with its data. Facebook, on the other hand, contains arguably more involved conversations and has always fiercely protected its content. People, Robert Scoble included, have run into trouble with Facebook for using "its" data, even when simply doing something with a script that could have been carried out manually.
Terms of Service aside, it would have been very difficult for a third party to put together a tool like this for Facebook, as it isn't easy to access the profiles of people with whom one is not directly connected. A tool like this - one that is actually useful - really could only have been developed by the company themselves.
The "public and semi-public" information that Facebook uses includes comments on users' profiles, groups and events. It actually surprises me that a company whose attention to privacy borders on extreme is using data from profile comments. If users want to, they can completely privatise their profiles so that only their friends have access: even though Lexicon's Help section makes the anonymity of comments explicit, I never would have guessed that Facebook would begin scraping profiles for a tool like this. For advertising revenue? Go for it. But they're providing Lexicon to us for free.
At the moment, the tool isn't as useful as it may one day be. There is mention of a "threshold" which a keyword must exceed before it's included in the Lexicon data. From what I can see, the threshold is relatively high at the moment. Queries that actually bring up results are rather generic. Given a lower threshold, we could begin to use this tool for some buzz-centered keyword research.
As to the tool's accuracy, I see no reason why it doesn't look fairly solid. Its findings for a few of this year's more popular Internet phenomena aren't surprising:
"Rick roll" and "rick rolled" only register on Lexicon's radar on and around April 1
SXSW becomes popular...
... and the rise & rise of Twitter follows.
To my mind, Lexicon may also help us define the Facebook demographic a little further as well. When Facebook was solely a university community, it was easier to pinpoint what constituted a typical Facebook user, but the site's diversification has raised arguments as to who and what constitutes the heralded "average user." The SWSX and Twitter stats tell me that, at the least, the population of tech-savvy people is still relatively high... given the relatively high threshold for keywords, both terms must have been mentioned a lot to register. What would make this data way more interesting is an intersection of Facebook's statistics with similar stats from MySpace and Bebo.
Keep an eye on Lexicon. Facebook isn't known for releasing features and never improving or changing them, so I can only guess that the tool will evolve. One final note: it seems you have to be signed in to Facebook to use it, so if you're a marketer without an account, now is about the time you should get one!

Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Tulsa, Okla. When Danny Manning agreed to become the head basketball coach at the University of Tulsa, he knew he was adding his name to an elite list of coaches.
What he didn't know was that TU's past success would be so in his face.
In the back halls of Tulsa's Reynolds Center, two flights of stairs below Manning's corner office on the top floor, sits a room about three times the size of the lane. When the 6-foot-10 former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick and 15-year pro first walked in, he saw something unexpected. Stationed prominently above the half dozen lockers about 12 feet up the wall were photographs the size of pizza boxes of three of the best-known coaches in Tulsa history: Bill Self, Tubby Smith and Nolan Richardson.
All three men hold a special place in the often overlooked history and tradition of the 4,000-student Conference-USA school, and all three of those photos since have been moved to another part of the facility at Manning's request.
"I was like, 'We're getting these out,'" Manning recalled with a laugh. "'We're gonna put these somewhere else. We're not gonna look at these cats that won a national championship every day.'"
"A new brand of hoops," is the slogan the university uses to promote the Manning era, and in the days since KU's all-time leading scorer and rebounder was hired last April, interest, excitement and, frankly, hope have been on the rise with a fan base that still celebrates the program's 2000 trip to the Elite Eight under Self and often asks, "So, when are we going back," even though the Golden Hurricane has not made the NCAA Tournament in 10 years.
There's also a giant photo of Self's Elite Eight squad plastered on the wall near the basketball offices. Just about every day, Manning walks past it and sees his former boss' giant, much younger face staring back at him.
"It's there. It's not going anywhere, and I would not be where I am at today without the relationship that I have with him," Manning said of Self. "So I enjoy seeing that mural. I enjoy that we think enough of the impact he had on our program with that team to put them on the wall. And we aspire to get there as well."
Kansas model
Reaching that point is a work in progress, but has a lot to do with Self. Tulsa assistant Brett Ballard, a former KU walk-on who worked with Manning under Self and also was the head coach at Baker University for two years, said much of what the first-year Tulsa staff does on a day-to-day basis resembles what Self does at Kansas. That model includes everything from practice plans and preseason boot camp to recruiting tricks and motivational tools.
But it's not as if Manning and company — former KU guard Steve Woodberry is an assistant, former KU manager Justin Bauman is TU's director of basketball operations, and Ted Juneau, Manning's high school coach, is a Tulsa administrator — are trying to turn Tulsa into Kansas South. Folks around town are quick to point out that former KU assistant coach Steve Robinson tried that from 1996-97. And it didn't work.
"He doesn't try to compare us to Kansas or make us like Kansas," junior Patrick Swilling Jr., said. "He's trying to build his own brand, his own name here at Tulsa."
Manning is not Self, nor Larry Brown, nor any of the half dozen former NBA coaches for whom he played. He's all of them.
"I've been very fortunate to be around some great coaches," Manning said. "And it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that. All of those things have made a contribution to how I think in this position."
Manning's players paint a picture of a coach who's fun to be around and takes input well. The way he runs practice backs up both claims. At one mid-February practice, after running through the regular routine of shooting and defensive drills, Manning allowed the competitor in him to rise to the surface. In a series of blue-versus-black, one-possession scrimmages, he and Ballard matched wits and did so in stealth mode, whispering instructions to their squads. After three successful possessions by Manning's black squad, the first-year coach unleashed in a booming voice, "Hey, Blue, I'm just making up stuff out here, and we're scoring on you."
On the next possession, Ballard's blue team forced a turnover that led to an easy bucket on the other end.
"Good, good, good," Manning said.
"He's intense," said Scottie Haralson, a senior who played for UConn coach Jim Calhoun as a freshman before transferring to Tulsa. "You can tell that it's not his first rodeo. He's learned from the best, and it's like he's been doing it forever."
Added Swilling Jr.: "We know that coming in to practice every day is not gonna be easy."
Time manager
In practices and games, Manning is equal parts smiles and barks. He appears to have fun being around the guys and also relishes the opportunity to teach the game he loves, often bouncing from serious to playful during the same drill. When he's wearing the whistle around his neck, Manning is direct, organized and often a step or two ahead of what's in front of him.
"We talk to our kids all the time about time management being one of the biggest adjustments you have to make in college," Manning said. "And as a head coach that's probably been one of my biggest adjustments, too."
When word got out that Manning was moving into the head coach's chair, many wondered whether the humble giant in both name and stature would be willing to step out of his shell and become the face of a program. Manning laughs at the thought while also indicating he understands where it came from.
"A lot of the things I did as a professional player I'm back out doing again," he said. "Whenever you take on a new job or a new role, if someone says, 'This is part of the gig,' then you do it."
Manning has done more than oblige. In addition to starring in weekly radio and television shows, he also has become a fixture in the Tulsa community. Manning's team and family get involved in some sort of give-back activity each week. He has been known to unload bags from the team bus by himself, and he routinely strolls across campus to visit with the other coaches or take in other TU athletic events.
"I think he's handled it great," Ballard said. "He has stepped into the spotlight more because he understands that's what he needs to do here. It's a big-time deal, and the tradition and support are terrific, but at the same time he can blend in a little."
Added Bauman: "I think it's been an adjustment for Tulsa, quite honestly. It's been awhile since they had someone in that position where they don't have to go out and promote the head coach. The head coach kind of promotes himself."
Manning is aware that his time as a head coach, at Tulsa or elsewhere, will be measured by wins and losses. He says he's proud of the work he and his staff have done in Year One but also admits that his team has fallen short of its biggest goal on several nights.
"Expectations don't change," Manning said, acknowledging the motto he borrowed from Self. "The goal is still to go out and be successful and win. And that's the mind-set that we have."
After watching last season's top two scorers transfer out before hearing his pitch and losing his top returning big man because of a preseason health scare, Manning went to work with the players who stayed and brought in seven newcomers — five freshmen and two transfers — to fortify the roster. Some are playing out of position, many have played hurt, and a few simply aren't talented enough to help Tulsa win at the level Manning believes is possible.
"The majority of the time, we've not had a problem with our guys trying," Manning said. "They try. And they play hard. And that's what you want."
'Remarkable' job
With just a few games left in the regular season and the Golden Hurricane hovering above .500 (14-11 overall, 6-5 in conference), many at Tulsa have been pleasantly surprised by what Manning has done this season and for the future. Manning has landed three targets in the Class of 2013 — two are big men — and is still trying to snag one more. Season-ticket sales are up by a little more than 300 from last season and the 8,300-seat Reynolds Center is starting to fill up the way it did when Self opened the building in 1998.
There are reasons for that. Some have to do with the effort put forth by the team or the way Manning has marketed Tulsa basketball. Others are tied to Manning's past.
"I see guys wearing KU hats and KU sweatshirts coming to the games," said senior associate athletic director Don Tomkalski, who has been at Tulsa since the 1980s. "The job he's done, with what he's had, is remarkable."
While much of the first season has been about laying foundations, it also has been about X's and O's. That part's in good hands, according to Tomkalski.
In a road game at SMU in January, Tulsa led former KU and Manning coach Larry Brown by 17, let the lead slip away and then executed a near-perfect inbounds play late to win.
A couple of weeks earlier, despite trailing by 17 at rival ORU, Manning tweaked things in the second half and TU won by four.
And in early February, while playing at UTEP without their leading scorer and facing a fourth straight loss, the Golden Hurricane held off a tough Miners team to get back on track.
"You can see it," Tomkalski said. "He knows how to coach. You see the team growing up all the time, and that's coaching."
Manning said he never realized he had the desire to become a head coach until he got older. The thought would flutter in and out, he said, but it never drove him, and he never spent a minute looking past the task at hand while serving as an assistant coach. Now that his time has arrived, Manning can't help but feel like his path as a player and coach led him to Tulsa.
"I don't think things turn out the way you want 'em to. They turn out the way they're supposed to," he said, mentioning that he encounters evidence of Jayhawk fans in Tulsa almost weekly. "I had a great job as an assistant coach at Kansas. It's a great gig. To me, it was not something that you leave unless you find something that really fits you. And this fit."
2nd favorite team
Great article, Matt!!
While I was really sad to see Danny leave, I'm very happy for the opportunity he has in Tulsa. Here's another KU fan hoping for Tulsa's continued improvement and a return to the NCAA tournament ... Just hope we never have to face 'em!
Love the photo of Self's team at Tulsa ... I take it that's Norm Roberts sitting next to him? Wow, 1999-2000 ... Amazing how time files.
Matt> As usual a terrific story about a great young man and my guess would be, a successful Head Coach to-be at Tulsa University. It is both remarkable, and one more significant piece of the second-to-none tradition of the University of Kansas basketball program when we consider the list of our Head Coaches > and the number of successful Assistant Coaches and former players who are now Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches at the college level > and now the NBA level as well. It truly is a privilege to be a part of that tradition as a member of the Jayhawk family.
fair o say the heir apparent to Self when he retires?
sounds like he's doing a fantastic job so far being the face of the program, etc. Deppending on how he does in recruiting and in how he does with his own recruits then you can start calling him hei apparent.
Also, if he's very successful very fast he may get a job at another elite basketball program before Self hangs up the whistle.
There isn't much of an age difference between Danny and HCBS. Not sure I would use the term 'heir apparent'.
Yeah, it's only a four year age difference... Wish it were more.
They are close in age. I guess it just depends on how long Bill wants to coach. Danny might want to coach a little longer if he has an opportunity to come back to Lawrence for 10 or so years.
If Bill coaches another 10, which is not unlikely, Danny might get his chance to coach the Hawks starting at age 56. Not too old to put in 10 more years of coaching in heaven.
Wishing Danny, and Brett, too, all the success in the world.
Nice article, Matt!
Looks like Danny and the Hurricanes might be the next big thing, or is that on old doo-wop group??
For true, I think Tulsa scored the perfect coach for their situation, and I'm hoping that we see the Hurricanes moving up the rankings every year, maybe a Sweet 16 team in a few years? I wouldn't bet against Coach Manning and his crew of mostly Jayhawk assistants. They will have those guys headed in the right direction, an upward trajectory. Yet another branch of the ever-expanding Kansas coaching tree!!
Rock Chalk, Danny Hawk!!
Just an FYI. It's actually Hurricane (singular). Easy to call them Hurricanes (I did at first, too.) considering how popular Miami football is, but I think it's cooler this way.
They are the Golden Hurricane. Honestly just making it singular, IMO, makes it one of the great team names in sports. Right there with Marshall's Thundering Herd.
One of the greatest players in NCAA history. His compliment of great teammates and remarkable 1988 season is being featured in a documentary releasing next month just prior to the 25th anniversary: 'The Miracles: College Basketball's Last Cinderella Champion' http://themiraclesmovie.com @KU88documentary
Thanks for the post and link. Just watched the trailer video. What great memories. Looking forward to the March release of the documentary.
Love the uni's with the Beak yellow border. Danny deciding to come back cause he wasn't ready for the NBA, No matter who was shown shooting there was always a 2nd Jayhawk flying at the rim for a put back. Ahh Jayhawk TEAM basketball, that was refreshing. Thanks for the link and post. Danny wasn't ready, and I think of all the young men since then who thought they were and.......
I love HC Manning, so it's nice to see this article celebrating him here. I can't help but wonder how good his team would be this year if Kodi Maduka had not had to step away from the game. It's too bad what happened to the young man, but he made the right decision.
You still got to believe that it is a huge recruiting advantage for TU to have the Danny Manning in your living room.
I think the reason it didn't work in 1996-97 was trying to bring Roy's type of play to Tulsa, unless you've got some high recruits coming in it's gonna be tough to build a program around that. Nothing wrong with implementing the current KU model.
Good for Danny and good for Tulsa.
It's got to be tough for schools like this. I mean, we sit here wishing and hoping that players like Ben McLemore stay for four years. At schools like Tulsa, fans wish and hope that the coach stays for four years. The bad ones won't last and, should you happen to find a star on the rise, like Self or Tubby or Richardson they are gone to bigger programs sometimes before their first recruiting class graduates. It has to be difficult trying to build a program for long-term success when the critical pieces are there only for the short-term. I hope Danny can bring Tulsa some lasting success in the years to come. Sadly, for the Hurricanes, the quicker the rise to prominence, the quicker Danny, too, will be coaching at another school and the cycle starts all over again.
It's good to be a Jayhawk.
By far, no Danny is the biggest difference in this years' KU team & past teams. Just imagine how much stronger Perry Ellis would be in the paint with Manning's ability to tutor footwork & patience. I swear, every time Jeff catches a pass now he puts in on the floor-worst thing a big can do. I wish him best of luck, but maybe when Bill goes on to greener pastures, Danny will follow the trail back home. I think it was the KSU game last week we noticed him, the wife, & daughter in the crowd at AFH. Tremendous player, great coach, & even better person.
I understand what you are trying to say, but to discredit what Norm Roberts and the current staff have done with our current big men is not really fair. Let's not forget Perry Ellis is only a freshman and there is no reason to believe that he would be that much further along with Danny around. Also let's not forget JW had several years of instruction under Danny and he has always had an issue with putting the ball on the floor when he catches it under the basket, so to insinuate that he is regressing now that Danny is gone is just stupid.
So you say, but that certainly makes you no genius. All any of us have are opinions. If it's difficult for you to respect that and you have the need to call someone a name for that on a message board, you might have a bit of a social issue. Great remedy would be to just count to ten then bite your toungue. That way your posts don't get flagged. Just sayin...
I'm not trying to say anything I didn't, and I certainly did not discredit anyone. Damn, your comment sounds like something a pissed off woman would say. Like you just KNOW what someone means. Too much Oprah? Go soak your head.
And you say "WHEN Bill goes on to greener pastures," as if it's a mathematical certainty.
At this point, there aren't any jobs that are any more appealing than KU. You might argue that an NBA job sounds better, but honestly, he's never implicated that the NBA is a possibility.
But what college position could be better than where he's at now? He already turned down Pickens' bottomless pocket offer to return to his alma mater.
The odds of Bill Self retiring here are getting better each year.
It won't be his current job or any other job that ends up leading/forcing Self in a different direction.
Well Reuby, he won't live forever. But it's likely he's stay till his boy graduates, ya think?
You may be a little off on the attitude part-Morris popped that BB gun before his first boot camp. And of the bigs you mention, suffice to say only Aldrich was not already for the spit polish. Also why all the punctuation? It's not that hard to comprehend your post-is unnecessary & distracting.
FYI there is no secret code, no mathematical equation, and nothing inherently implied. What the hell is wrong with a guy having a friggin opinion, and let it go at that? Several of you guys (?) need to go have a couple shots-hell I'll do it for ya in case you disagree on what kind. Surely that woudln't happen?.
I do think that Danny's demeanor & temperament would have Perry playing with more confidence than he presently expresses. His body language is terrible-head down, glancing if any eye contact, no facial expressions like he's even remotely having fun on the floor. Truthfully, I think he looks scared. And I also think Danny would have calmed his apprehensions by this point in the season. That's all, nothing else; Perry has a ton of moves already. That's why he's MDAA. Also, in the loss at OU, I counted five straight possession Jeff put the ball on the floor in the blocks, stripped 3 times. You don't always have to yell or scream at someone to get them to do what you wish-Danny is that kind of man. Looks like Perry may be that sort of person also. He's got a little more under the hat than the average kid playing D1 ball.
Did KY regress or get better? Personally to me has shot better, played more minutes, and stayed out of foul trouble.
Did JW regress? Some thought without a TRob next to him, he would struggle. Although he isn't the best of the best, he can really play. His defense has kept us in games, where last year I remember several games where he was benched because he couldn't keep up with the faster youth.
Ellis we might not know, but the one clear issue he has is catching rebounds with both hands. I believe that is because he was just that much better in High School.
Traylor, I would say that he may have benefited from having Manning around, but you can see glimmers of his ability and his Junior and Senior years at KU will be remarkable.
Is a frog waterproof? Sure he's better, but that's what you expect of a guy that old, that's been around the block a time or two. And truthfully he's the best we have at the 4 spot now so you see him play alot, yet Self's still desparately trying to give his minutes to Ellis. We flat don't have a power forward at the 4 spot-we have committee. And if KY wasn't getting the garbage baskets & low post points, we'd be getting virtually nothing from that 4 spot for scoring. He's all we have there period.
Near the bottom of this Wikipedia page it shows something similar to what you seem to be looking for, under the heading "Current Jayhawk College Coaches."
Even John Wooden.
Yes, we all miss Danny, but wish him success, he's a great man and a great coach!!! He did wonderful things at Kansas and will do wonderful things at TU. Danny will always be a Jayhawk!!
Bill wins another NC and leaves say in 5 or 6 years...Danny's the Man. Bill wins a couple of NCs and retires in 10 or 11 years...the Brad Stevens from Butler is the Man.!!
After Bill leaves in 5 or 6 years and Danny's the man - did you mean to say that Danny wins a couple of NC's and retires in 10 or 11 years - or did Bill come out of retirement and kick Danny's butt out the door ??? lol
Man, watching that "Miracles" trailer brought back memories. It also got me thinking that it seems 90% of our shots are either within 7 ft or beyond 20. Not a lot of 8-15 footers that the Miracles made. I know we like to go hi-lo, and work it inside, but is it just me? Kinda like when we point out KY having open 12-15 footers, and not hitting them efficiently. Can this team hit the 7-20 ft range shots? Can't EJ, NT, TR or BMac hit those pull-up jump shots from 8-12 ft . . . efficiently?
They're coached to NOT take those shots, which I don't always agree with when you have a guy like Mclemore who should be shooting more often.
Good luck to you Danny, wish we had you back. Wouldn't count on DM being the new defacto coach if BS goe's, there's a guy out there called Mark Turgeon who's pretty good.
What about Jacque Vaughn after 10+ years in the NBA under his belt?
Danny Manning will win 20 next year and 25 the year after, then 30. At that point he will get his shot at a major. Brett Ballard will get his shot to take over at Tulsa. Brett will keep it rolling and Brett will be at a major.
What major Danny goes to determines whether he ever comes back to KU as head coach. If he goes to an Illinois, and Self retires in five, then Danny would probably come back. But Danny is old enough that unless all goes perfectly he will be too old for KU to take a chance on. And if Danny were to get hired by one of the blue bloods after turning Tulsa around, he probably would not come back regardless.
But Brett Ballard is very likely to come back as KU's head coach some day.
Brett Ballard won instantly at Baker.
Brett Ballard is a top assistant to Manning at a still young age.
Brett Ballard is on track to become a great coach.
KU is lucky to have two great future prospects from the Self Coaching Tree--one mid term and one long term.
I like the way you think, jaybate! Brett has a great basketball mind! He has learned from the best...Coach Anderson at HHS, Coach Jank at HCC, RoyBoy, Self, and now Manning!
Let's Grade the Big 12 Coaches.
1] Bill Self, Kansas. - A++, It's obvious.
2] Bruce Weber, Kansas State - He gets an A- with the previous coach's players, D- with his own players.
3] Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State - B+ And will get better the more he coaches....dammit!!
4] Travis Ford, Oklahoma State - A-, He gets a high grade for not letting his crappy coaching get in the way of his players excelling.
5] Scott Drew, Baylor - D-, He gets a low grade for letting his crappy coaching get in the way of his players excelling.
6] Rich Barnes, Texas - F+, He better circle the wagons if next year is like this year.
7] Lon Kruger, Oklahaoma - C++, A past Kansas nemisis, Lon will re-establish that role as a coach.
8] Bob Huggins, West Virginia - C-, Huggy Bear having an off year.
9] Chris Walker, Texas Tech - Incomplete, I'll let him finish his season before he gets his F
10] Trent Johnson, TCU - D-, How can you flunk someone who beat Kansas, although he admitted Kansas did a lot more to beat Kansas than TCU did!!
great list...I totally agree with #3! The Mayor came into The Phog with a perfect gameplan that would have worked out for them if it hadn't been for Mr. McLemore!! The Mayor seems to be getting a lot out of a "mixing pot" of players. If he can recruit consistently, they will continue to rise in the standings and will be a force each year that he is there.
I'd give #7 a bump...he has the team headed in the right direction. Bruce Weber, I'm not sold on, I still think he is running a Gimmick offense that is built on speed. These are the teams that get upset in the first round of the tournament because small mid-majors actually match up good against them. Same type of lineup MU had last year. Ran 4 guards, and hard to match up against. However, upset early in the tournament. Rick (not rich) you are being generous, he has consistently gotten top recruits and can't do anything with them. Even with a Kevin Durant, he under performed. One thing you have to give credit to UT, is they give their coaches time.
Kruger deserves a higher rating. He inherited an absolute mess of a situation at OU and is going to take them to the NCAA tournament in year 2. That is at least a B rating.
I grade coaches for a particular season based on how much they got from what they had.
Bill Self A+ Weber A Hoiberg A Ford B Drew D Barnes C Kruger A Huggins C Walker inc. Trent Johnson B
I feel like Kruger deserves a B.
I watched the Houston/TU game last week until with a few minutes left to go in the game with TU ahead and the FoxMidwest Network switched to another game.
Watching Danny coach you can see an influence from Self. He is always standing and coaching when the team is on defense, no matter if it is the first play of the game.
Funny to find out that Tulsa tried to be KU south earlier in history.
I'm not sold on anything either, especially from KSuck fans. However, I've heard similar rumors from some pretty connected folks in Lawrence who are diehard Jayhawk fans. People like to talk, so hopefully it's just that.
Mannings going to be a great coach, wish we still had him.
I'm trying to figure out how "it didn't work" for Steve Robinson from 96-97. He went 46-18, to a pair of NCAA tournaments and even won a tournament game. He was the WAC coach of the year one of those seasons, and garnered a promotion to Florida State out of the gig. If Manning did all that, wouldn't his stay be considered a resounding success?

Terrace Gardens to Die for
A sprawling, green and relaxing outdoor sounds like heaven
by Seema Sreedharan | Aug 9, 2016, 19:41 IST
A terrace garden is not just about placing a few potted plants, garden accessories and a water feature. The idea is to also create a tranquil haven that is a great place to unwind in. We find this thought beautifully illustrated in Architect Nilanjan Bhowal's sprawling 2,500sqft terrace garden, in New Delhi. Complete with a pool, deck and machan; the space feels ideal for parties and daily retreats for the family. "The concept was to include a splash of Mediterranean flavour, with cool refreshing colours like white and blue, coupled with hues of browns," shares the architect. Apart from the colour schemes, Nilanjan also points out how waterproofing and drainage are crucial when planning a terrace.

- When levelling the terrace floor, make sure that it's slightly inclined towards the drain, so water doesn't stagnate.
- Also, consider the type of plants you choose for the space. Go with shrubs, since trees tend to have deep roots. Also, plants need to be at eye-level, since flowers usually bloom on the top branches.
- Remember, your terrace garden needs to be as functional as it's pretty. Avoid features like fountains, statues and planter boxes that will take up too much space and thwart the mood.
- Factor in high screens during the planning stage to create a visual barrier and hence maintain privacy.

Fire Precautions
Students are responsible for taking precautions to prevent fires. Candles, incense, potpourri, and other flame-emitting articles are prohibited. The following are also prohibited under State Labor and Industry regulations: wood paneling and/or tiles; papering of ceilings, doors, or walls; disguising of doors or exits; and posting of papers, signs, and other combustible materials in hallways or on doors (except bulletin boards).
Multiple outlet adapters present a fire hazard and should only be used with low-wattage devices. A grounded device wattage adapter should be limited to 400 watts total. A grounded 15-amp surge-protective plug-in with built-in breaker is required, and total amperage should not exceed five amps. Residence rooms have limited circuit capacity (one 20-amp circuit for up to four rooms). Electric cords should not be hung around the room or be placed under furniture or carpeting. Repositioning outlets by the use of extension cords or splicing is prohibited.
Fire Equipment
Fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and exit signs are located on every floor in each building. The residence hall is built with sprinklers installed. Students should familiarize themselves with the location of the fire equipment on their floors. In some areas, smoke detectors are provided. Tampering with this equipment is a serious matter that could jeopardize the safety of others. Such tampering can result in severe disciplinary and/or criminal action. Federal and state laws apply.
In compliance with University policy, the use of all tobacco products, including smoking, is prohibited in all parts of the residence areas and dining facilities. This includes individual student bedrooms as well. Students must adhere to campus policies regarding the location of outside smoking areas.
Card Access System
Access to the residence hall is controlled by an electronic card access security system that is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students need to carry their Penn State id+ Cards at all times to gain access. Students will be given a unique four-digit PIN for room access. Students can get into their residence hall during the normal academic year only. To ensure the security of the building and student rooms, including students' personal possessions, access is suspended during all breaks and over the summer. Access to the residence hall is limited to students who reside in that building, or require access for other reasons.
Access Problems
If for some reason your card doesn't work in the card reader of your building, contact a roommate, Residence Life, or University Police. Then contact Housing and Food Services during normal business hours so they can identify and fix the problem.
Lost Cards
Report a lost card immediately online or at the Housing and Food Services office during normal business hours. Your card access will be suspended to prevent someone from using the card and gaining access to the building. A new card will be issued at the current replacement value.
For the safety of all residents, outside entrance doors should remain closed at all times. If a door is propped open, an alarm will sound. To shut off the alarm, remove any props and close the door. The alarm will shut off automatically.

- Always know where your id+ card is.
- Report stolen id+ cards immediately.
- Keep room doors shut when you are not in the room—including when you're in the bathroom, across the hall visiting a friend, or in the laundry room. It only takes a few seconds for someone to realize that no one is in the room.
- Walk in groups when traveling outside, especially at night. Students may call University Police at 412-675-9130 to request an escort at any time.
- Travel in well-lit, heavy traffic areas.
- Report suspicious behavior to University Police at 412-675-9130 or [email protected]

A lot of people enjoy the holidays especially in meeting up with family and friends. In planning for the different big holiday celebrations, the main focus of the people tends to be on planning the menu for the feast, buying the food and deciding as to who will be responsible for bringing the alcohol. However, inline with the concern as to where to celebrate and how to get there, a lot of people don't even care to check their auto policy as if they are 100% sure that nothing will go wrong with their insurance.
Be aware and avoid this mistake. As we go to different places during holidays, surely there will be a bumper-to-bumper traffic especially these busiest times of the year, on all the main routes as everyone gets on to the road to get to their respective destinations. As compared to regular days, the usual settings you'll find in the streets are commuters who run to and from work or those parents dropping off their kids at school. They are seasoned drivers with years of experience, and they do switch the look and feel on the roads from a regular day to day living, to traffics during national holiday.
It is an undeniable fact that the moment more drivers spend more time on the road, chances of meeting an accident dramatically increases. Families during these times are funned of long journeys instead of making short runs along familiar roads. So for drivers, it is a good practice to concentrate on the road with as much fewer distractions. Family drivers usually experience this stressful epic. Let's say for example, a back seat full of kids surely distracts a driver for they are hard to ignore. In even worse cases, a lot of drivers never think to have their vehicles go through a routine maintenance before setting out. Even if the family car is alright and reliable on short runs, it may curl up and die when it's already cruising high speeds down an interstate. Also, because of financial incapability and recession, most people ignore pre- cautionary time to go to repair shops to check whether there are risks of easy overheating engines or tire blow-up.
All of these factors contribute to chances of high car accidents. So before it happens, it is high time for you to check your auto insurance quotes and resulting policy. Get the best protection for you and your family to have a safer trip on the road and with a worry free mind.

Gear & garments for fathers with taste
Because good preparation makes all the difference
The season for working and having fun in the garden is well underway. It's time to get raking, mowing and weeding before stretching out in the hammock with bare feet. Don't be afraid that you'll look ridiculous with floral aprons, bright green wellies or 'little old lady' gardening sets. Gear & garments for the garden are so sophisticated nowadays you could almost be seen with them on the street. Almost…
A fabulous blanket to keep you warm
The throws and blankets from Pendleton are internationally renowned. Not just because of the large range of distinctive prints, but particularly because of their links with America's national parks. Wrap yourself in a rugged blanket and snuggle up next to your campfire in style.
Jute carrier for any load
The classic carrier was the first product sold by the Carrier Company. 18 years later it's still an essential part of the collection. Use it to carry cuttings or blocks of wood and then hang it off a hook in your shed.
A durable apron
An apron for outdoor work needs to be tough: it needs to survive the seasons as well as cope with sharp thistles and soil stains. This denim apron in no way resembles a girly floral apron - instead it compliments your outfit. Roll up your sleeves and get your apron on!
Roll & go
The Iron & Resin tool roll will make you want to get stuck into the garden. Rolled up, this tool carrier is easy to transport. Chuck it in the boot of your car or keep it in your shed.
Who's that man lighting the BBQ?
Anyone who loves their garden has a barbecue, and men often view this as their domain. Grant his wish with this handy and rugged barbecue apron. Now all you need is some meat on the grill. When you've finished, it rolls up easily until the next sunny summer evening.
Wellington boots
Your feet need to stay dry and warm, even when you're working with one foot in the pond. Those feet deserve impressive wellies like this stylish, rugged pair from the Finnish brand Nokian. They're also perfect for festivals!
But before we surprise our fathers with all these brilliant accessories, we need to ask ourselves the following question: what's the garden looking like? There's probably room for a couple of robust olive trees, some fun lemon trees or perhaps a mandevilla to provide some colour. Don't forget to take a look at our competition: you can win an olive tree for your dad this year!

I'd always wanted to speak to students at the college level so whenever an opening came along I jumped at it. And then I got little nervous. I have addressed several other audiences, but students are different. I questioned myself. "Would I be a good Speaker at College?" "Did I know enough to teach them?" "Would I be able to connect with the students?" "Could I encourage them to learn?" It was a little overwhelming but I was up for a challenge.
Last week I had spend more than an hour with the M.B.A students of ICFAI National College. Now that I had finished talking to them - I'm no longer nervous. In fact I loved it. I love to be with the students. More than that, I love the learning environment. And I'm excited about learning again.
Off late, I've been trying to be a good reader and learner. But this class has reignited my desire to learn in a new way. I realized one thing while preparing to speak to them, the challenge is not teaching the concepts but the real life application of it. I don't want them to be just book worms - I want them to leave my class knowing how marketing works in the real world. I want them to learn and develop excellent learning skills. I realized, in order to teach them any of these things, I must be willing to learn along with them.
One thing I realize is that there is so much I do not know and I need to develop my learning skills which are a lifelong process. This made me to think, how can I develop Excellent Learning Skills and let me share those thoughts with you.
Tips for Developing Learning Skills:
Let's make a commitment to learn something new today. (Article By Shamim Rafeek)

MONTREAL — He came to power in the late 1990s, his energetic governing style ushering in an era of increasing prosperity that earned him plenty of goodwill. Luck also helped some: his rule coincided with an era of rising oil prices, and he used the petrodollars that flooded the state's coffers to finance a dizzying consumption boom throughout the country. This helped him maintain his popularity even as urban elites became more and more disillusioned with his autocratic streak, deepening militarism, rampant corruption and his disdain for the traditional hallmarks of democracy.
Vladimir Putin? Hugo Chávez? Both fit the description. Yet while many in the West tend to see through the thin veneer of democracy that Putin has pasted over his autocratic rule of Russia, they fail to see the Venezuelan version so clearly. Why is that?
For the last 12 years, I've been writing about the accelerated collapse of constitutional government in Venezuela, about the alarming cult of personality surrounding Chávez, about his lack of regard for civil rights, due process of law and the separation of powers. Online, where readers can post comments to my articles, they nearly always come forward to defend the Chávez government, noting its electoral legitimacy and undoubted popularity. Sometimes they hint darkly that I must be an agent of imperialist corporate media and have a subversive agenda. I seldom see this kind of push-back in reaction to reports about the eerily similar Putin regime.
I think the difference is partly a matter of marketing. Chávez's cheerful tropical anti-imperialism has an allure that Putin's scowling Slavic strongman persona will always lack. Partly, too, the difference has to do with the demand for left-wing posturing among the Western elites that are disgusted by the policy catastrophes in Iraq, on Wall Street and in Greece.
But I also think that views of Chávez and Putin diverge because of a phenomenon the French philosopher Pascal Bruckner calls "Third Worldism": the subconscious drive of Westerners to infantilize the global South by mythologizing it and projecting fantasies onto peoples rendered exotic by distance and a history of oppression. According to Bruckner, Western leftists see the world as a confrontation between "a spontaneous, sentimental and just Third World" and a West that is "rapacious and cruel." Chávez has been expertly exploiting this interpretative shortcut for years. But it's a trick that the rulers of Russia — a country more or less seen as part of the rapacious and cruel West anyway — haven't mastered.
"It is because they are said to be underdeveloped that the African, Indian and Chinese are better than us; they are not 'backward' but premature," Bruckner writes in his brilliantly iconoclastic essay "The Temptation of Innocence: Living in the Age of Entitlement." "Their backwardness is really an advance, for they are still in touch with the origins of the world at a time when we are already in the twilight."
For Bruckner, the sympathy that radical leaders like Chávez receive from Western progressives is an extension of the colonial mindset. When it lionizes figures like Che Guevara — whose record is more mixed than is commonly accepted — the Western left is implying that the people of the global South should be happy with standards of civil liberty well below those it would consider acceptable for itself.
Being infantilized, being told that we Southerners have no right to expect the civil liberties that First World progressives take for granted, being asked to tolerate authoritarianism — this is what I'm confronted with just about every time I write about Venezuela for an audience outside Venezuela. Go on, add a comment below: I'm sure there'll be some of that push-back this time, too.
Ah, if only I'd been born Russian…

Where to go in Mexico
Mexico City, though a nightmare of urban sprawl, is totally fascinating, and in every way – artistic, political, cultural – the capital of the nation. Around the city lie the chief relics of the pre-Hispanic cultures of central Mexico: the massive pyramids of Teotihuacán and the main Toltec site at Tula. Guadalajara, to the west, is a city on a more human scale, capital of the state of Jalisco and in easy reach of Michoacán: between them, these states share some of the most gently scenic country in Mexico, where the thickly forested hills are studded with lakes and ancient villages.
South of the capital, the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, home to some of the largest populations of pure indigenous groups, are mountainous and beautiful, too, but in a far wilder way. The city of Oaxaca is especially enticing, with an extraordinary mix of colonial and indigenous life, superb markets and fascinating archeological sites. Likewise, the strength of indigenous traditions in and around the market town of San Cristóbal de las Casas in Chiapas continues to make it a big travellers' centre. It's typically the stop before the picturesque Maya ruins of Palenque. East into the Yucatán there is also traditional indigenous life, side-by-side with a tourist industry based around truly magnificent Maya cities – Chichén Itzá and Uxmal above all – and the burgeoning Caribbean resorts that stretch down the coast from Cancún.
On the Pacific coast, where the surf is wilder and the scenery more rugged than in the Caribbean, Acapulco is the best known of the beach destinations. Along the ocean to the north, hundreds of kilometres of relatively empty sand are broken up only by resort cities like Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta. Few tourists venture over to the Gulf coast, despite the attractions of Veracruz and its mysterious ruins. A pity, as for music and general bonhomie, the city's central plaza is one of the country's finest destinations.
Coming through the Bajío, the heart of the country, you'll pass the beautiful silver-mining towns of Zacatecas and Guanajuato, the historic centres of San Miguel de Allende and Querétaro, and many smaller places with a legacy of superb colonial architecture. Between here and the US border lie vast deserts and mountain ranges, home to the Copper Canyon, with its spectacular rail journey, the mysterious ruins at Paquimé and the dynamic industrial city of Monterrey. Baja California in the far northwest of Mexico is a major destination in its own right, with world-class whale-watching, untrammelled beaches and crumbling Spanish ruins.

"It's not hard to see why this book would be so popular. The subject alone is probably one of the most variably practiced within haematology, with many different possible strategies to manage each situation - often with each strategy being as valid as the next....Consultative Hemostasis and Thrombosis is wonderfully evidence based and clear on what has and has not been discovered in trials, and the shortcomings of those studies...This is certainly a good investment, particularly if your practice is outside a major teaching hospital, with limited access to a sub-specialist in coagulation. The online access to the entire text via th ExpertConsult.com website is just the icing on the cake."
