Q It is preposterous to ask Alameda County residents to pay for a flyover at Interstate 580 and I-680 that will be used primarily by San Joaquin County residents to commute to Santa Clara County. Most of Alameda County residents reside north or east of there and will not benefit from this project. If people commuting here don't like the commute times, they should move closer to where they work and help the environment while they are at it. Otherwise they get what they signed up for.
Shane Henderson
A That's harsh. Would you say that Santa Clara County voters should not have approved a similar tax to extend BART to San Jose since many riders will likely be from Alameda and Contra Costa counties? These are projects that have regional importance.
Alameda County voters will go to the polls in November to vote on a half-cent sales tax for roads and transit that would double the existing tax to a full penny. The measure would need a two-thirds vote and comes after a 2012 effort that failed to get that margin by a mere 721 votes. But there will be much more on the ballot than the 580-680 upgrade — and here is by far the biggie judging by the Roadshow inbox.
Q Years ago, Caltrans added a carpool lane on Interstate 680 south from 84 to 237. When are they going to add an extra lane on 680 north? I-680 is always a nightmare during the evening commute between Mission Boulevard and 84. … Seems to me that transportation officials have completely abandoned 680 north or have become completely oblivious that the road even exists or that a lot of people still miserably use it on a daily basis except when it comes to sweeping. They sure sweep 680 through Alameda County A LOT. Always during commute hours and in the commute direction to boot. … It takes me 1 1/2 to 2 hours to drive 30 miles from San Jose to Livermore each evening. Why in the world we do not have an express lane on northbound 680 from the 880/Mission connector to the 84 exit?
Jason Hoffman, Ankur Singhal, Roy Turner, Cesar Gabriel and (it seems) trillions more
A Alameda County folks, it's up to you. Pass this sales tax and these projects will be built, along with upgrades to numerous interchanges, adding carpool lanes, filling potholes and transit upgrades. A two-thirds margin in a nonpresidential election year when voter turnout is lighter will be difficult. But if it passes, it will raise $7.8 billion over 30 years and then the question will not be if I-680 will be widened but when.
Q It is great to be updated about our roads. Too bad you can't make all of the Caltrans decisions and fix some of our bad spots like the 580/680 exchange.
Jeannie Thomson
A I'm trying, I'm really trying.
Q I saw a red Civic with aluminum foil covering its rearview mirror, dashboard and steering wheel. Don't know if he was trying to elude police radar or an alien signal (and good luck either way, buddy). But I'm curious: Is it a ticketable offense to obstruct your rearview mirror like that? The side mirrors weren't covered; just the one mounted on the windshield.
Julie Barman
A Beam me up, Scotty! The vehicle code — 26709(a) — requires at least two mirrors, one being on the driver's left side. So if both outside mirrors are OK, they can cover up the third inside mirror. But the foil should not have any effect on radar or Lidar — or aliens.

Intel's new HD2500 on Linux
Subject: Processors | August 20, 2012 - 04:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, Ivy Bridge, Intel, i5-3470, hd 2500
The new Ivy Bridge processors introduced a new member of Intel's graphics processor called the HD 2500, which has received less than positive reviews as the previous HD 3000 outperforms it. However those tests were for Windows applications and games, whereas the testing at Phoronix specifically pertains to the performance under Linux. They compare the i5-2400S, i5-2500K, i5-3470, and i7-3770K together in a series of benchmarks to not only test the performance but also their compatibility with Linux. It seems that perhaps the performance of the HD3000 and HD2500 are much closer in Linux than they were running under Windows, though both still lose out to the HD4000.
"Since the launch of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors earlier this year there have been many benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 3770K with its integrated HD 4000 graphics and then more recently have been Linux testing of the Intel Core i7 3517UE from the CompuLab Intense-PC and Intel Core i7-3615QM as found on the Apple Retina MacBook Pro. The newest Intel Ivy Bridge chip to play with at Phoronix is the Intel Core i5 3470, which bears an Intel HD 2500 graphics core. In this article are benchmarks of the Intel HD 2500 Ivy Bridge graphics with the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver stack."
Here are some more Processor articles from around the web:

Does any one real use Linux on a full time day to day?
everyone I know that said they do does it for a about a 2 days then comes back to Windows.
Yes, yes they do. Usually they are working, not playing though ... for instance I support a CentOS box running Asterisk that runs 24/7.
Yes but that is not your desktop, it's an appliance.
I use it every day!
In our office, everyone uses Linux or MacOSX. Ubuntu 12.04 is a pretty good OS.
I use Linux full time at home unless I need to do something in Windows and that has not happened in like a month now.
I cant wait to build my first computer, I will be using Ubuntu since it know it the best.
Until today (my trusty laptop's fan died and it is too expensive to replace) I've used Linux all day, every day for 3-4 years. I used to keep Windows Vista on a dual boot partition (I used it once-in-a-blue-moon to play videos that had Windows Media Player DRM), but about a year ago during my annual "back up and reinstall" session, it stopped installing.
The reason I'm on this site is to check whether the graphics card in a candidate new PC would have compatible Linux drivers.

The List Builds Big Media Database Onto SugarCRM Foundation
Jul 6, 2012 5:00 AM PT
The List, a provider of lead generation software for media buyers and marketers, is adding CRM functionality to its line of services. This new feature set joins other new functions the company is building into its core product, such as integration with Moat.com, and a global media content database.
But do not be fooled into thinking that the CRM function in The List is anything other than a tool for users.
The List CRM, in short, is there to help users manage and track prospects that are generated from the system's crown jewels or raison d'etre -- its corporate and agency contact database. Hence the company's decision to white label the SugarCRM platform instead of building out its own product.
"Our core business is providing detailed information to media buyers and sellers about who works on which brand and how to get in touch with these people," Dave Currie, chief marketing officer, told CRM Buyer. "Our CRM system is there for users to manage that sales process."
The Specific Needs of Media Buyers, Marketers
The List, a 17-year-old company, focuses on a very specific vertical with very distinct needs. It works with both the buy side -- that is, network agencies -- and the sell side, namely companies that have media properties to sell. This latter group can range from Google to Facebook to Viacom to MTV to Nike to sports teams and arenas.
"Anyone, in short, who has a digital ad they want to place online," Currie said.
The company's sales intelligence is very detailed, he continued. A typical record in The List will have the full name and title of a contact, plus hierarchy in the company, email address, LinkedIn profile, and direct dial phone number, and often an assistant's name and contact information, a bio, and most importantly, brand responsibilities.
"That is what is most important to our users -- which people have decision-making authority over which brands," Currie said.
Other features will show how much Nike spends on print and media campaigns across various media and categories.
One of the industry's biggest challenges, Currie said, is the low accuracy rate of such data. "There has been a huge drive towards the commoditization of contact data in this market, and the result has been that senior level executives find themselves wading through garbage."
Building a Comprehensive Record
To build that record, The List has integrated or is integrating with a number of different databases and information sources. LinkedIn, obviously, is part of the mix.
In June, The List added Moat.com -- a search engine and analytics platform for online digital ads -- to the information sources with which it integrates.
"Moat.com has been getting a lot of traction in this space," Currie said. "It is a hot commodity in the ad space right now."
Moat.com's integration is very relevant for media planners and buyers because they can see in real time which ads are running online at the moment for a particular brand -- Nike, for example. The List has also integrated with a global media database that provides creative for TV, radio and other ad channels.
The CRM Role
With CRM in the process of being integrated, users will be able to search and work new business prospects in the same application. "You can seamlessly import a contact directly into the CRM app," Currie said.
The company chose to white label SugarCRM because it had a positive experience using it internally, Currie said. It is also easily customizable for a vertical such as media buying.
For instance, The List CRM has taken a number of the steps found in traditional CRM applications and consolidated them into a shortened process that is more user-friendly to the advertising-marketing space, Currie said. "We wanted to build something that was intuitive to use and one we could easily support."
A Strong OEM Base
It is not surprising that The List went with SugarCRM, Nucleus Research Vice President Rebecca Wettemann told CRM Buyer.
"Sugar has always had a strong OEM base. It is natural a company looking to develop a targeted application would turn to Sugar," she said.
Now that the on-demand vendor is partnering with IBM, she added, she expects to see more such white label applications come to market.
"Companies developing micro-verticals are not interested in building elaborate workflows or reporting capabilities," Wettemann said. "Rather, they just want to know they have a solid platform and database so they can concentrate on their core differentiation."

Stanley Culpepper wasn't too concerned at first by a grower complaint about not being able to control Palmer amaranth with glyphosate.
"This is not uncommon," says Culpepper, Extension agronomist with the University of Georgia. "We get 20 to 25 of these a year — someone didn't use a residual herbicide, or they didn't make the application properly. We didn't think much about it."
Culpepper collected some seeds from the grower's field and took them back to the laboratory at the University of Georgia's Rural Development Center in Tifton for testing. What he found "scared us quite a bit," he noted.
That was in the fall of 2004. He went back to the same field in southwest Georgia last year and applied 33 ounces of Roundup WeatherMax or 1.5 times the normal rate on Palmer amaranth that was 4 inches in height, he told participants at Cotton Incorporated's Crop Management Seminar in Memphis.
He displayed photos taken in the field 21 days after the application. "If you look closely, you can see the cotton," he said, pointing to the slide of nearly solid green weeds. "But everything else is Palmer amaranth."
Culpepper then increased the rate to 66 ounces or triple the normal amount, doubled that to 132 ounces, went to 198 ounces and finally to 264 ounces of WeatherMax or about 12 times the recommended rate.
"That was 24 to 30 times what I would normally use to control that species, and, as you can see, I still don't have complete control. And if we had not immediately come back with a hooded or directed application in five or six weeks, we would not have been able to harvest that crop."
Everyone has a bad day, said Culpepper, and he hoped that was his. So he and his fellow Extension workers conducted another trial in the field in Macon County in southwest Georgia.
"There was no confirmation of this in the world," he noted. "We kept trying to figure out what we had done wrong. So we went out and applied 22 ounces of Roundup WeatherMax on Palmer amaranth that was 0.5 inch tall."
Culpepper repeated the application when the Palmer amaranth was 3 inches tall and again when it was 10 inches tall, giving him three sprayings on the same plant. In the photo Culpepper displayed, you could see a few more Palmer amaranth seedheads in the untreated check than in the treated area.
"With 44 ounces and 88 ounces, we got a few less seedheads, but that was all," he said. "The bottom line was that we were not going to be able to pick that crop. And we have lost the most effective and the most economical herbicide in the world."
When the testing was completed in the fall of 2005, the weed scientists thought the Macon County field was the only location that had glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. They spent considerable time and money trying to eradicate the resistant pigweed from the 500-acre field.
But random sampling of fields in a three-county area turned up evidence of resistance to glyphosate in Palmer amaranth in 47 percent of the samples. "This represented about 100,000 acres of cotton in Taylor, Macon and Dooly counties," he said. "Some of the samples were not as resistant as the ones I just showed you, but some were more resistant."
Last summer, Extension specialists found more evidence of glyphosate resistance in an area south and west of the three counties and have confirmed more cases in the same region this fall.
Culpepper showed some approaches for managing the resistant pigweed that have been less successful than the Extension specialists expected. "It's very frustrating to me, and, hopefully, it will open your eyes to our future and where we're going with this."
This year, weed scientists working on the resistance problem applied 88 ounces of WeatherMax to 1-inch Palmer amaranth, followed by 88 ounces to 4-inch to 5-inch weeds. They post-directed another 88 ounces when the cotton was 10 to 12 inches tall.
"There is cotton in there, I promise you," he said, pointing to a field filled with Palmer amaranth seedheads. "Cotton was planted and it received three applications of WeatherMax.
"You guys make recommendations just like we do," he said, addressing the crop consultants in the audience. "And I want you to be thinking about how complicated this is going to make our lives."
Culpepper displayed a photo of another field that appeared to have been overtaken by Palmer pigweed. The field received 1.75 pints per acre of Prowl H2O pre-emergence followed by 22 ounces of WeatherMax plus 1 pint of Dual Magnum on 4-inch amaranth and a post-directed application of 22 ounces of WeatherMax and 1.5 pints of Direx.
"We received 4.5 inches of rain on this field a week after application and got it activated perfectly," he said. "But what we didn't realize was that the yellow herbicides break down more quickly in saturated soil conditions. So, in essence, we lost our herbicide in 10 days. In 10 days, we lost that crop."
The weed specialists also applied Prowl and 1 quart of Cotoran pre-emergence, but it failed to provide adequate control.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture obtained a Section 18 for the application of Reflex herbicide pre-emergence for control of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth in cotton in 2006. EPA has since issued full federal registration for the product.
"Reflex performed well for us, but it can also give you some problems if you don't have experience using it," he said. "One of our better treatments was one in which we applied Prowl and 1 pint of Reflex, so work with your Extension folks on using this combination."
Culpepper showed photos of test plots that received Prowl plus 1 pint of Reflex pre-emergence followed by WeatherMax and Dual at either 18 days after planting and before the pigweed emerges or 24 days after planting. The plot with the 18-days-after-planting application looked clean, but the plot treated at 24 days after planting was grown up in pigweed.
"How important is treating before the pigweed emerges?" he said. "It was six days between the time the pigweed emerged and the other application, six days when you could have been out doing something else. But, in that six days, we lost that crop."
Reflex can be highly variable, he said, noting that, in 2006, it appeared to last 18 days while in 2005 it was active for 41 days. "This is the kind of thing that you and I must consider, and it's going to vary from one end of the field to the other."
Prowl-Reflex followed by a Roundup-Staple tank mix on 3-inch amaranth and WeatherMax plus Direx post-directed is another option, but growers and consultants again must be knowledgeable of conditions in the field being treated.
"Most of us are aware that Staple is an ALS inhibitor," Culpepper notes. "What happens when you have ALS resistance and you have Roundup resistance and it's in the same field?"
In one field, the weed scientists applied the full rate of WeatherMax and the label rate of Staple when the Palmer amaranth was 0.5 inch tall.
"We took out about 70 percent of the population which left about 30 percent of the plants still with us," he said. "And what you've got is resistance to the two chemistries you can apply over the top of Roundup Ready cotton."
Ignite can be another option — if it is applied on small Palmer amaranth. "Some of our growers have shied away from the LibertyLink system because the varieties don't seem to yield as well in the Southeast. Ignite is also expensive, but it may be more cost-effective than a 12X rate of Roundup."

Taking advantage of ADR in the entertainment industry
As courts throughout the U.S. have become more and more backlogged with cases, and as the financial stakes in litigation have grown increasingly larger, so too has the need for quality alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Certain substantive legal areas lend themselves particularly well to ADR. Intellectual property/entertainment matters are at the top of the list of practice areas for which ADR is ideally suited. The importance of secrecy and privacy, the need for expertise and the flexibility that ADR offers are three reasons why intellectual property and entertainment practitioners should use ADR as much as possible. Every time a lawsuit is filed, it becomes public record. Reporters scour the case filings for interesting cases to report. Parties can avoid this unwanted publicity by agreeing to participate in a pre-filing mediation.
If successful, the case is never filed, the facts remain confidential and the parties reach a business-like resolution while saving substantial attorneys' fees. Because many parties often have ongoing relationships to preserve, an early resolution is also likely to maintain that important relationship. In a recent case, a party claimed that a Fortune 100 company had infringed its copyright in its national television advertising campaign. The alleged infringing television commercials were actively running. To avoid the potential negative publicity associated with a copyright infringement lawsuit, not to mention the possibility of a preliminary injunction preventing the commercials from running, the parties agreed to participate in pre-suit mediation.
The Fortune 100 company was convinced that it and its advertising agency had not engaged in copyright infringement. Nevertheless, to avoid the negative publicity and business disruption, the company paid a sizeable amount of money to settle the case. The parties entered into a confidential settlement that never saw the light of day. In addition to using pre-suit mediation, entertainment and IP cases make great candidates for binding arbitration. If the parties have not previously entered into a contract with an arbitration clause, the parties can still agree to binding arbitration before suit is filed. Among many other advantages, arbitration is private. Therefore, even if an early mediated settlement can't preserve the parties' business relationship, the matter may be kept private through arbitration instead of the courts. IP and entertainment matters often involve complex legal issues and technical industry concepts, which may be difficult for a jury to understand.
By using arbitration and mediation, the parties can select ADR professionals with substantial experience in entertainment and intellectual property matters. By selecting neutrals with unique, practice area-specific experience, the parties can save time by not having to educate judges and jurors with little to no knowledge of the industry and the law. Accordingly, although the parties may not be happy with the outcome of every case in arbitration—one party or the other generally is not happy with the result of any case—at least they will have the peace of mind of knowing that their decision maker was informed and up to speed on the issues.

Antje Janssen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.

a). Down to Earth Coffee and Tea House b) Heaven on Earth Life Balance and Wellbeing experts
I am a successful life and business coach who operates from the heart but also has her feet firmly planted on the ground. I'm a bit irreverent whilst also celebrating the beauty of people and nature.
My vision is of operating a business amalgamating two parts: a coffee and tea house and a coaching/healing centre. I love people, helping them succeed, and growing everyone, including myself to their potential. I have been coaching for about 10 years, and prior to that many moons ago was in hospitality.
I want to create a place where people can come and be nurtured and feel at home, accepted for who they are and feel cared about.
Mostly I want to create a environment which will be fun for staff and customers. We won't take ourselves too seriously! But it will be a seriously well-run business!
The ideal customer is female, well-off, employed or stay-at-home wife, a local, has friends who also like to meet for coffee/tea, likes novelty, likes to be uplifted, is into her health and wellbeing, and possibly does gym/yoga, wants to be lightly entertained, likes good service/to feel special.
Ideally she has unfulfilling work/life balance and wants solutions. The pain she feels is hidden because she's trying to be superwoman.
This is actually for two related logos. They need to sit happily side by side so will need something in common.
The first logo is for a Coffee and Tea house that caters to a discerning crowd and offers coffee, home-branded, made-to-order teas and healthy food. 'Down to Earth' was the chosen name because I want it to be earthy and real. I don't want people thinking 'hippy' however so it can't look 'home-made'. It has to translate well into black and white so that I can stamp the logo onto paper bags/serviettes etc without requiring colour. Thoughts I've had include a leaf ...(please don't do a coffee bean- that's been done to death)...
The second part of the concept: a number of wellbeing services which will be marketed from the Coffee and Tea House and provided in nearby or adjacent premises, (ideally upstairs) eg life and business coaching, Chinese massage, meditation, Reiki, etc. There should be no religious symbology at all, but other sorts of symbols are fine.
Something that night be cute is a tree for Down to Earth with a bird on a branch for Heaven on Earth (though not a dove- too religious). I love the 'seasons' series at http://www.studiooat.com.au/product…s/seasons/
Even just the words with the right treatment would be fine.
Please do not use clipart or cartoons.
Good luck! I look forward to your designs.

Taking the proven performance and efficiency of the Cougar, Claas has added roller conditioners to the lineup with the Cougar 1400RC, giving producers the ability to choose the right mower for their field conditions.
Leading the industry with the Cougar 1400C (tine rollers), the Cougar 1400RC (roller conditioner) has all the features one looks for in a mower to benefit their operation — a mower that increases capacity, boosts fuel savings and reduces labor inputs.
"Continuously improving features of the Cougar to gain efficiencies is at the forefront of all we do, and our engineering team consistently raises the bar by listening to our growers," explains Matt Jaynes, product specialist.
"We've enhanced features on the Cougar 1400RC to improve drying time, mow more acres per day and increase consistency in the feed quality," he concluded.
The Cougar 1400RC is equipped with a front mower conditioner, laying a wide, loose and fluffy swath for quick drying — making perfect 24-hour silage. This feature is especially important for operators working against the clock in a short harvesting window. Each of the five independent Disco mowers is equipped with chevron roller conditioners and the award-winning Quick Knife system for easy knife changing to reduce maintenance time.
Another new feature for the Cougar 1400RC is the pivoting multi-function control lever. Integrated directly into the armrest of the operator seat, all controls are within reach and ultimate control is at your fingertips giving access to numerous different functions. The pivoting lever simply needs to be extended or retracted to move the Cougar.
Minimizing drying time enabling you to mow and chop in a day is one of the greatest advantages of the Cougar. That, and its ability to mow and condition in 45 foot swaths, permitting growers to switch a fleet of conventional mowers to one self-propelled Cougar, completing the work in less time, reducing inputs and saving fuel.
In fact, the Cougar is the industry-leading self-propelled mower with the largest capacity and most mowed acres per gallon — saving growers time and money.

Symantec Releases 2013 Product Lines to Public Beta
In the past, Norton 360 revisions have appeared on their own schedule. For example, Norton 360 Version 6.0 showed up almost six months after Norton Internet Security 2012 and Norton AntiVirus 2012. Starting with the 2013 editions the three products will use the same revision cycle. Jordan Blake, senior product manager for Norton 360, explained that the pending arrival of Windows 8 was one reason for this synchronization.
Windows 8 Support
The 2013 products will all have a touchscreen-friendly user interface. "Whatever you did with a mouse, now you can also do with your index finger," explained Blake. He also noted that even now, there's very little in the interface that requires a keyboard.
Current beta versions are compatible with the latest pre-release of Windows 8, and Symantec intends to keep up with all major Windows 8 beta builds. The 2013 products will take advantage of Microsoft's new ELAM (Early Launch Anti-Malware) drivers for protection during the boot process. By using ELAM, the Norton products can control initialization of other drivers and suppress malicious drivers, rootkits, and other tough threats.
The new user interface takes advantage of hardware graphics acceleration, so it's snappier than in the past. Blake pointed out that both Intel and AMD include hardware acceleration in almost all Windows 8 compatible systems. Transparency will also feature in the new UI, where appropriate.
Symantec isn't by any means abandoning those using older Windows versions. While the 2013 editions are "purpose-built to handle Windows 8," they'll also run on older Windows versions, all the way back to XP. Of course features like ELAM that are specific to Windows 8 won't be available.
Other Enhancements
In the 2013 products Symantec has worked to smooth the update process. Many updates, even major ones, will happen without any user interaction and without a reboot. This is especially true under Windows 8, which makes it easier for developers to swap in new versions of in-use files.
The Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response (SONAR) system detects new threats based on their behavior. In the 2013 editions it also functions in Safe Mode, and can more easily detect installation of rootkits.
Symantec's Norton Insight database tracks file reputation information for over 2.8 billion files. Update frequency for file reputation data goes to every hour with the new editions, and updates for URL reputation come every 15 minutes. Quicker updates will make the powerful Norton antiphishing engine even more effective against fraudulent websites.
Norton Power Eraser serves to eliminate persistent malware threats that may prevent installation of Norton products. In the past, users needing additional cleanup help had to go download it as needed. The 2013 editions will install Norton Power Eraser and keep it up to date. That way even if an advanced threat cuts of network communication, Norton Power Eraser is available to fix the problem.
Symantec aims to minimize the impact of security protection on the user's experience. "The Windows 8 enhancements won't necessarily help those using XP," said Blake, "but our high-level goal is to be faster than the 2012 editions and faster than the competition."
The beta versions of Norton 360 2013, Norton Internet Security 2013, and Norton AntiVirus 2013 are available for download at http://us.norton.com/beta.

Dalton, Green Lead Bengals Past Chiefs
KANSAS CITY (AP) -- Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs 28-6 on Sunday.
Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a maddening four-game losing streak.
Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.
None of them are as bad as the Chiefs.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh straight amid a gloomy crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe left Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a neck injury sustained while trying to make a leaping grab in the first half.
Bowe was being covered on a deep pass down the sideline when he leaped up, bobbled the ball and then landed hard on the turf at Arrowhead Stadium. He was checked by several trainers on the bench, retreated to the locker room and then re-emerged without his helmet.
Kansas City is already playing without wide receiver Jon Baldwin, who wasn't cleared after sustaining a head and neck injury in last Monday night's loss at Pittsburgh.
Terrance Copper replaced Bowe. Steve Breaston was playing in place of Baldwin.

Once you get old enough, you start to develop a perspective about how life's random puzzle pieces have come to connect. Some pieces attach by sheer force, some settle gradually; but there are others whose fit becomes apparent only after the passage of years.
Now I was fortunate enough to be hired as a high school teacher at age 23. I had proceeded from high school to college to a fifth year credential program, and duly employed---there I stood, facing five daily classes populated with freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. School's basics were firmly in my grasp: know your subject matter; manage timing; keep track of everyone. It was the ineffable that I had yet to learn.
When I first went to write on the board, I remember wishing a miracle would occur, transforming my printy script into an elegant, disciplined, right-slanting hand. It never happened. In fact, the whole disciplined elegance factor eluded me. But I do know I felt an immediate and deep concern if I saw anyone resting his head on his desk, and very quickly I found just such a one in my afternoon class. What to do? My own brother was in another high school at the time. I knew he was involved in cartooning for the school paper. But I didn't have the maturity yet to try to knit my student into the school's fabric through activities. I just decided to keep approaching the desk-rester in a low-key manner; I presumed he probably viewed me as an over-zealous do-gooder. If he even noticed my efforts.
In that era there was room to act more creatively. I inquired of my department head and learned I could remove this boy from class and instead carry him as an independent study student during my conference period. The boy agreed to the arrangement. We moved forward without asking his parents--it never even occurred to me, again due to my inexperience. We met daily in the English department office. We read literature of alienation, like THE PAINTED BIRD by Jerzy Kozinski and Kafka's METAMORPHOSIS. We talked about our readings; he wrote more and more and he attended faithfully. Somehow we finished that year together. He was a sophomore, though I was but a freshman as a teacher.
The boy moved on into his junior and senior years, joining in school plays, revealing a sensitivity to art and a wonderful sense of humor. Once I asked, "How do you memorize all those lines for a play?" He replied, "It's really like a conversation. And if you think of it that way, it's very easy to recall all the lines in order." After he graduated, we lost track.
Close to fifteen years later, my cartooning brother, who grew up to become a special effects creator, phoned me to say he was working with a man who spoke highly of me and seemed to know me very well. It turned out to be this very same student! Today if you google Spectral Motion in Glendale, you will see the powerhouse work and boundless creativity of Mike and Mary Elizalde. They run one of the top creature shops in the movie industry. Mike has been nominated for an Academy Award. But more significant is his generosity and willingness to mentor other young artists.
Mike came to speak to two of my classes last week. He brought along a gifted young illustrator, Alex Palma, who crafts images to show to producers who have word-ideas of what they want. Many of my current students struggle academically and emotionally. Mike spoke to them about how to pursue work in the arts with a directness tinged by neither a cloying or "bootstraps" tone. He was modeling sincerity and respect for others. It was then that I realized how pivotal Mike had been in my own career development. I finally understood that he had taught me the ineffables, my own sacred trio: reach out to others; meet the students where they are and go forward; and be kind. It is so simple. But it takes all the time we have to master it.

LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dystopian thriller "Divergent," the story of a society that divides people based on personality traits, dominated weekend movie charts with $56 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, kicking off a new franchise for "Hunger Games" producer Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
Walt Disney Co family comedy "Muppets Most Wanted" finished in second place, nabbing $16.5 million from Friday through Sunday, according to estimates provided by Rentrak. Animated "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," produced by Dreamworks Animation Inc, took the No. 3 slot with $11.7 million.
"Divergent" is adapted from a popular series of young adult novels by newcomer author Veronica Roth. Ahead of the weekend, forecasters had predicted the film would debut with between $50 million and $68 million in North American (U.S. and Canadian) ticket sales.
Shailene Woodley stars in "Divergent" as Tris Prior, a teenager who doesn't fit in to a faction because she has multiple dominant personality traits, making her a threat to the government. She chooses to join the Dauntless faction of warriors who defend the society's inhabitants. British actor Theo James plays Four, Tris' mentor and love interest.
The debut of "Divergent" fell short of the box office heights of two other young adult franchises. "Hunger Games" started with a massive $152.5 million in March 2012 while "Twilight" opened with $69.6 million in November 2008.
Lions Gate said Friday it was confident "Divergent" would become an important franchise for the company and it was moving ahead with the second film in the series, called "Insurgent," which will reach theaters in March 2015.
Noting that the "Divergent" opening was shy of blockbusters "Hunger Games" and "Twilight," Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations Co., said "$56 million is a great opening for any film, and virtually locked down the proposed trilogy."
"This is something to build on for the series, and with the cast expected to be in high demand, the 'Divergent' legacy will continue to grow," Bock added.
Richie Fay, the studio's president of domestic distribution, said, "We're very pleased with the outcome for the franchise launch."
The movie's A+ CinemaScore grade from the under-18 audience bodes well for the coming weeks as spring break and Easter school holidays approach, Fay said, noting, "The young adult audience has been underserved in the last couple of weeks."
The company spent $85 million to produce "Divergent," plus $40 million to $45 million on marketing, according to a person with knowledge of the film's budget. The studio has recouped about $70 million of the cost through international licensing deals, the person said.
"Muppets Most Wanted," a sequel to a 2011 "Muppets" movie, stars Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell alongside Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog and other classic Muppet characters. In the new film, Kermit is imprisoned in a Russian gulag in a case of mistaken identity, while an evil impostor travels with his muppet friends on a European tour.
"Mr. Peabody and Sherman" brought its global sales through three weekends to $172 million. The movie was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
Rounding out the domestic charts, Greek warrior sequel "300: Rise of an Empire" landed in fourth place with $8.7 million, while the independent faith-based new release "God's Not Dead" pulled in $8.6 million to claim the No. 5 spot.
Warner Brothers, a unit of Time Warner, released "300: Rise of an Empire."

Brammo Inc. filed the appropriate forms with the SEC yesterday stating that it has raised $12.4 million in Series B funds, in what is still an open round of financing. Brammo hopes to raise a total of $30 million in the Series B offering, with the use of funds likely going towards expanding Brammo's reach into the Asian and European markets, as well as building out the company's product line into other target segments.
Also in the Form D filing with the SEC we get a glimpse of the people behind the company's management, which includes a presence from Brammo's initial investors Best Buy & the clean-tech venture capital group Chrysalix, as well as Brammo's CFO Bruce Gilpin. New to the ranks is David Kurtz from Alpine Inc., an oil and gas exploration and development firm that is leading the Series B round with another firm that is so far unknown.

In her final game against Catholic Academies rival Gwynedd Mercy, Mount St. Joseph senior midfielder Kelly Moran scored a goal in regulation play and another early in overtime to spur the Magic to a 2-1 victory over the visiting Monarchs last Thursday afternoon.
Both markers originated with sideline throw-in's by junior Lisa Roman. In the first period, the Magic's opening goal was almost immediately matched by Gwynedd junior Taylor Caparo. Later, Moran's overtime game-winner lifted the Mount to a record of 5-3 in the AACA, and 6-6-1 overall.
GMA, which won a 2-1 home match over the Magic back on September 13, was 4-1-2 and 5-2-2 following Thursday's setback. The Monarchs have not yet faced league leader Villa Joseph Marie.
After sputtering to a 1-6-1 record over the first month of the season, the Magic chalked up their fifth win in a row in the rematch with Gwynedd.
"I think we played some tough games at the beginning and we had a new coach [Catherine Kulp]," said Moran, who will point her hooves towards West Virginia next fall to join the Thundering Herd at Marshall University. "We had a couple of scrimmages that were rained out, so it took awhile to get everything working together."
The Mounties attacked from the outset last Thursday, keeping up the pressure until they scored with 18:53 remaining in the opening period. Roman's inbounds throw from the left sideline found Moran at the near post, and she flicked the ball into the net.
"We've been working together on that for three years and it comes together every once in awhile," Moran said. "Lisa can throw it really far and I just try to get anything on it that I can."
The fruits of the Mount's labors vanished less than a minute later. Gwynedd launched an assault as soon as play resumed, and the small, speedy Caparo broke into the right side of the box. Getting good leather on the ball, she fired a high shot that brushed back the fingers of MSJ senior goalie Becca McCool and continued into the cage. McCool, making her fourth start after missing a few games due to an ankle injury, kept the goal sealed the rest of the way and recorded five saves.
"It's hard when you get ahead and they come right back and score," Moran mused. "It's kind of like you have to start all over again."
The Magic recaptured the offensive initiative, and had chances to go ahead late in the half as Gwynedd let a few balls bounce loose in the box. The hosts had no one in position to finish those plays, and it was still 1-1 at halftime.
At the break Gwynedd switched goalkeepers, replacing starter Ally Fasano (six saves) with fellow junior Courtney Sullivan (10 saves). Neither the new GMA keeper nor the Mount's McCool gave anything up during the second half. The Magic continued to spend more time on offense than their guests, building towards a 19-7 advantage in shots during the 80 minutes of regulation play.
With the teams still deadlocked at 1-1, a ten-minute "golden goal" overtime period got underway, but it didn't last long thanks to the Magic's anagram girls, Moran and Roman. Mount St. Joe advanced down the left flank and when the ball went out over the sideline off of a Monarchs player, Roman wound up for a Mount throw-in, aiming for her senior teammate in the near side of the penalty box.
Describing the gamewinning play, Moran said "I think the ball hit off my head, then it hit a Gwynedd girl and bounced back to me, so I shot it and it went in."

NCAA Tournament Preview West Region - First Round (15) Northern Colorado vs. (2) San Diego State
Thursday, March 17, Approximately 4:40 PM ET
The San Diego State Aztecs come into the tournament on the heels of a huge win over BYU in the Mountain West Conference Tournament final, securing their second straight conference tournament championship. Los Aztecs now enter the NCAA tournament as a 2 seed, having won 12 of their last 13 games. Opposite them sits Northern Colorado, an automatic qualifier after winning the Big Sky Conference Tournament with a 65-60 win over Montana on March 9.
From the looks of things, the Bears are major underdogs. Not only are they part of the 2/15 matchup, which has only seen four 15 seeds win in the history of the tournament, but it is their first ever trip to the tournament. At the helm for "the other UNC" (aside from North Carolina) is B.J. Hill, a 36-year-old coach in his first year on the job.
While the Bears will be looking to spring an upset, the Aztecs have expectations of their own. Coach Steve Fisher is leading San Diego State to its seventh NCAA tournament trip, the third since he took over in 1999. While they are making their second trip in a row and have a favorable seeding, it's worth noting that the Aztecs have never won an NCAA tournament game. Now, with such a high seed and a 32-2 regular season record, the pressure is on for the team to perform.
> Find a great selection of San Diego State Apparel as well as Northern Colorado hats & merchandise online through CollegeSports-Fans.com!
Offensively, both teams come in averaging 72.2 points per game, good for 79th in the nation. The difference comes on the defensive end: The Bears allow 65.7 points per game, putting them at 105th in the nation, while the Aztecs allow just 58.9 points per game, putting them at a tie for sixth in the nation. Both teams are in the top 60 in terms of field goal defense, with the Aztecs perched in the top 20. The Aztecs were 36th in the nation in terms of field goal shooting percentage, hovering around 47 percent, while the Bears finished near 200th in the country at 43.1 percent. The one area the Bears do have an advantage is from three-point territory, where their 38.7-percent mark puts them at 22nd in the United States.
The Aztecs play only six men for more than 12 minutes per game. Offensively, they are led by Kawhi Leonard (15.4 points per game), Malcolm Thomas (11.5 points per game) and D.J. Gay (11.2). The Bears, meanwhile, employ an eight-man rotation spearheaded by guard Devon Beitzal, who averages 21.4 points per game, good for 13th in the country. The Bears, who finished first in the Big Sky in rebounds, will face a challenge when taking on the Aztecs. They'll need a solid effort from their bigs to keep Leonard and Thomas from dominating the glass.
The Bears were a perfect 15-0 on the season in games when they shot a higher field goal percentage than their opponent, and will look to keep that trend going against the Aztecs. San Diego State, meanwhile, will look to use its size to keep the Bears from gaining an advantage inside. SDSU will need to remain smart and vigilant on the perimeter to contain the Bears' perimeter-based attack, which attempts over twenty three-pointers a game.

Your World Needs You. Solutions for 2025.
The appetite for change at COP18 was heard loudly and clearly in the many informal gatherings at the conference center. Coalitions, climate finance, and scientific agreement came from the dynamic debate in Doha. To follow up those conversations, deals and dreams, and actionable projects, I have initiated a study to address the longer-term global challenges that we will face together in the decade ahead. Collective Solutions 2025 will present a strategy for how multilateral development institutions can achieve sustainable development and inclusive green growth to boost prosperity and end poverty.

I haven't really had a great deal of playtime with the Burning Crusade. I've mostly been wandering in the Hellfire Peninsula with my warlock doing the initial quests with a friend.
I've respecced Coriel to Protection. It's a really nice spec, and I've always been a fan of Holy Shield and going sword-and-board. One interesting side-effect is that you can get a great deal of mana regen with the new Reckoning. Fast weapon + Seal of Wisdom + Judgement of Wisdom and wait for Reckoning to proc. So much mana! Reminds me of the good old Seal of Fury days.
The loot in TBC is pretty good. I really like how the first few quests are "replace all your gear" quests, so that everyone gets bumped up to a nice starting level gear-wise. I've even replaced half of Coriel's gear. It's quite amusing to replace epics with greens.
The TBC gear is much better suited for paladins than anything short of Judgement. Point-wise, it's possibly a small downgrade, but the allocation of stats is so much better. Strength, Intellect, Stamina, Spell Damage, and Mana Regen is a glorious combination.
Other than that the expansion looks pretty neat. It's nice to get back into the questing mood. I'm looking forward to trying out one of the new instances sometime.
As well, major props to Blizzard on pretty much a flawless launch. I had zero problems, even though I installed on Tuesday.
On a final note, I feel sorry for all the new human paladin NPCs. They have to wear Redemption, and they just look terrible. Seriously, how can you respect someone wearing Redemption? Meanwhile Arator the Redeemed gets to walk around in Judgement looking awesome.

With two outs in the bottom of the third inning, Katie Stephens singled. After she advanced to second on a wild pitch, Rachel Hitt drove her home for the winning run.
Katie Hicky threw the 5-hitter, while striking out nine Lady Buckeyes. Unlike Gladewater teams of a few years ago, this improved Lady Bear squad committed no errors, and only one runner for Gilmer reached base after being hit by a pitch.
Hicky tried to help her cause in the fourth inning when she hit a triple. As she tried to stretch the run into a 4-base score, Shaylee Fennell threw to Sassy Meadows in time for the out.
Makayla Sikes gave up six hits and the one run while stricking out seven as she got the loss.
Sikes also had two hits to go along with Raelyn Peel's two hits and Saylee Fennell's one hit.
Gilmer loaded the bases in the fifth, when Kate Burns reached after being hit by a pitch and Sikes and Fennell combined for back-to-back hits. They were left stranded when the next Lady Buckeye struck out to retire the side.
Gilmer traveled to Kilgore last night and will continue District 16-3A action Tuesday at Chapel Hill.

The Bourbon Orleans Hotel's storied history affords guests the opportunity to not only relive it, but to rewrite their own.
In 1817, entrepreneur John Davis hoped to make his mark on New Orleans' rich social scene, and built the Orleans Ballroom: the oldest, most historic ballroom in New Orleans. When it opened, the ballroom became the setting for the most select affairs in New Orleans. Events held here were masquerade balls, carnival balls and the forever famous Quadroon Balls, at which beautiful fair-skinned African-American women, or quadroons, were selected to be the mistresses of wealthy Creole gentleman.
In 1827, the Orleans Ballroom became the state and house legislative meeting place. It is said, but unverified, that Andrew Jackson announced his candidacy for President of the United States of America within these staunch walls.
This early success led Davis to build the Orleans Theater on an adjacent plot of land. The Orleans Theater earned lasting recognition as it became an established venue, introducing French opera to America and continuing on to open opulent dining and gaming rooms that equaled the best in Europe. But Davis' endeavors were soon lost, as war destroyed most of the city's nightlife.
By 1881, both the Orleans Theater and Ballroom had been acquired by the Sisters of the Holy Family for use as a school and convent. For the next 83 years the Sisters remained, until the need for expansion pressed them to sell the property to hotel interests. New additions would replace structures built by the nuns, but the Orleans Ballroom would remain and begin a life more closely attuned to its opulent beginnings.
Today, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel opens the doors to a unique New Orleans experience, offering easy access to the city's best shopping, nightlife and dining. The Orleans Ballroom remains one of the most coveted event venues in New Orleans and has hosted countless weddings, receptions, dinners and meetings.

Activision Publishing has announced another Cabela's title, this time Cabela's Adventure Camp. It's a collection of mini-games designed around motion controls, so it'll be hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. As expected, it won't be out until the end of this year -- November 1, to be exact.
I've come to expect some self-aware feature or interesting tidbit from all of these games. For Adventure Camp, it's definitely this: "Interactive Griefing allows idle players to grief others by knocking down trees and rocks creating in game obstacles that will add hilarious shenanigans to the mix." I, uh, what?

The broadcast TV networks have just announced their fall lineups, and there are a number of new shows.
• A remake of the old crime drama ""Ironside." This time, the star is not merely in a wheelchair, he's in a coma. According to the producers, there's not a whole lot of action. It's more of a character-driven show. In the pilot episode, everyone gets excited when it appears that Ironside has moved an eyelash.
• In "Sanctuary," vintage comic book character Little Lulu comes to life as a grown-up environmental attorney, fighting to save the only remaining habitat of the Six-and-a-half-toed Booby. Her ex-boyfriend, Tubby, has become the Governor of New Jersey. He wants to build a donut factory on the Booby nesting site. Lots of sexual tension. Some graphic scenes involving donut gorging.
• "PWD" bills itself as "Tales of the brave men of the Philly Water Department and the women who love them." The men work in holes in the ground for months at a time, dealing with angry residents and 200-year-old sewer lines. In the exciting promo, a hard-hatted, shirtless guy yells, "Look out – that pipe's gonna blow!"
• "The T-Team" is about a quartet of colorful rogue Tea Party patriots (Joe the Plumber, Walt Whiteman, Nathan Whale and Free Willy) who roam the country in their Liberty-copter fighting spineless liberals.
• "Captain Nimby" is a superhero who drives around wearing an ermine cape in a souped-up golf cart and confronts people trying to establish businesses or social services in "nice" neighborhoods. He beats them senseless with a badminton racquet while yelling "Not in MY back yard!"
• "The New Wide World of Sports" pits Sunnis against Shiite Muslims in a soccer match that ends with a bang. Gun control advocates compete against defenders of the Second Amendment in a hoops contest that's a real shootout. There are several period dramas of dubious accuracy featuring historical babes in seductive costumes. These include "Mary, Queen of Hots," "Viking Vixens" and "Renaissance Call Girls."
• Following up on "Hannibal," NBC's series about a cannibalistic serial killer, there are two new shows featuring cannibals, including "Honey, Who Ate the Kids?" about a severely dysfunctional family and a PG-17-rated version of "Hell's Kitchen." In this case, "Parental Guidance" means therapy sessions with a licensed psychiatrist.
• For younger viewers, the CW Network is offering what it calls "visceral" shows that eliminate any elements like plot or character development that might slow down the pace. In "We Gotta Get Outta Here," good looking, muscular men and women in perilous situations (ticking time bombs, fires, collapsing buildings) yell, "We gotta get outta here!" Another entry, "Loud Noises," features booms, bangs, explosions, gunshots, chain saws, restaurant dining rooms and revving engines. Never one second of silence.
Reality shows on tap include:
• "Cats Stuck in Trees." A new cat and a new tree each week.
• "The Yanks are Coming!" Teams of Americans roam the globe from convenience stores in New York City to hovels in Timbuktu, laughing at foreigners and mocking them.
• "Almighty G" is a hip-hop photographer to the rap stars who gets shot by a different "celebrity" every week. Spin-offs from the popular "Dancing with the Stars" include Sleeping, Belching, Bathing, Knitting, Praying and Preening with the Stars. Americans just can't get enough of doing stuff with the stars.
• "America's Best Surgeon." Each episode features sexy young surgeons performing heart transplants and breast enlargements live onstage. Simon Cowell is back as a hilariously rude judge, saying things like, "You're kidding – right? You DROPPED the heart! You call yourself a surgeon? I wouldn't hire you to slice my baloney!"
Supernatural themes are big this season, especially:
• "Buddy," in which a middle-aged, overweight werewolf moves back in with his elderly werewolf parents, and "Gloom," about the inner conflict of a vegan vampire.
There are several other in-depth character studies, like:
• "Power Ball." A gas station attendant wins $600 million in the lottery and spends it all on cocaine. A very fast-moving show. "Wasted" is about a germophobic trash man who has to get drunk every day in order to do his job. In "Purvis Shmedlap, Philadelphia Traffic Court Judge," he's the law, but he's also a crook. In episode one, he arrests himself, but escapes.
• There's a new game show called "Name That Dead Guy" where contestants try to identify coroner's photos of famous corpses. And a new sitcom, "Sluts." Like "Friends" but with lots more nudity.
And so, after a stultifying summer of reruns (these TV writers get more time off than Congress!), we can look forward to a new season of sex, violence, death and depravity. Shows for every taste but good taste. The amazing thing is that every time you think it can't get any worse, it does.

University of Arizona surgeons Dr. Zain Khalpey and Dr. Robert Poston became the first to implant a left ventricular assist device using the surgical robot in John Hulslander, 67, who was losing his battle with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Since the groundbreaking surgery in May, four more patients have undergone the robotic procedure at The University of Arizona Medical Center – University Campus.
"Nobody in the world is doing this and we have done five of them," said Khalpey, associate professor in the UA Department of Surgery Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and surgical director of the Heart Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support Program at UAMC. "The patients are all doing smashingly."
Hulslander and his wife, Ellen, who live in Maricopa, Ariz., said the surgeons and staff at UAMC saved his life. "It was do this or die," said Hulslander, who is retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy.
Hulslander became critically ill in December 2012, and visited the hospital 14 times between then and April 2013. His heart was failing and his kidneys were shutting down. He was so sick, Phoenix doctors would not operate. Instead, they sent him to UAMC in Tucson.
Hulslander needed a ventricular-assist device implanted in his chest to pump blood for his dying heart while he waited for a heart transplant. However, Hulslander's case was complicated; he had no sternum – a serious infection following quadruple bypass in 1997 resulted in its removal. The pectoralis muscle flap used to repair his infected sternum had become "plastered" to his heart, making any repeat heart surgery nearly impossible and something that most other centers would not attempt.
Often, having to do a reoperation involving the midline chest incision carries a three-fold morbidity and mortality at the time of a transplant, said Khalpey. Hulslander was a prime candidate for using the surgical robot, which does not require opening the chest.
Without the surgery, Hulslander would not be alive today, said Khalpey. Along with Poston, professor of surgery, the surgical team implanted a new-generation, smaller ventricular assist device called the HVAD Pump.
The Da Vinci Surgical Robot was used to implant the pump through small incisions between the ribs. The precise, minimally invasive procedure preserved his muscle flap for when he will have a heart transplant. Because the sternum was infected from the prior surgery, this approach dramatically reduced the risks of massive blood loss and injury to the heart.
The eight-hour procedure was so successful, the surgeons knew it could save the lives of other end-stage patients. "We decided this was probably the way of doing things so we did the next one four days later," Khalpey said.
These patients are doing well and are building their strength before going on a heart transplant list or possibly receiving stem cell treatments to regenerate growth of healthy heart tissue using their own stem cells, a new procedure that Khalpey is investigating.
The left ventricular assist device that was implanted in Hulslander is powered by a lightweight, highly efficient battery that he wears in a pack around his waist. Patients with the device can leave home for up to six hours, and plug back into a power source at home.
So far, the benefits of using the robot to assist in the procedure seem dramatic, Poston said. He added that avoiding bleeding and transfusions is a benefit for any patient, but particularly those in need of a heart transplant, minimizing the chance of future organ rejection. Leaving the sternum intact during the device implant can reduce the chance of infection, lessen pain and speed up recovery, thereby making a heart transplant down the road more likely to be successful.
Hulslander, who said he experienced minimal pain after surgery, was amenable to being the first to undergo the robotic surgery.
"Somebody's got to be first," he said as he relaxed in a chair, eating lunch. "I'm feeling pretty good."
"The UA Department of Surgery continues to be a leader for robot-assisted surgery," said Dr. Rainer W.G. Gruessner, professor and department chairman. "Our surgeons have the expertise to perform procedures rarely offered at other institutions and to use advanced technology that leads to new innovative options for the benefit of our patients."

Veteran observers of Mount St. Joseph/Villa Maria Academy basketball games know that the ebb and flow on the scoreboard during the first half-hour or so is often meaningless. The outcome of these clashes between the fierce Catholic Academies rivals often isn't decided until the final minutes of regulation play, and sometimes not even then.
Last Thursday, the visiting Mount Magic went into overtime against the Villa Hurricanes for the second time this season, and for a second time the Mounties emerged victorious, this time winning 45-42 after the teams were locked up at 39-all at the end of the fourth quarter.
In their December encounter, the host Magic had to come from 11 points down to send the contest into extra innings, and then secured a 41-33 victory. In the rematch, Villa made up a five-point shortfall over the last four minutes of regulation play to force overtime, where the Mount prevailed once again to stay unbeaten in Catholic Academies competition (9-0) while climbing to a 14-2 mark overall.
Scoring all six of the Magic's points in overtime, junior guard Alex Louin led the winners in scoring (18 points), rebounds (10) and assists (five), with senior forward Meg Geatens (two steals) also reaching double digits with a dozen points on the day. Eight points from freshman guard Libby Tacka and seven from junior forward Carly Monzo (four rebounds, three assists) rounded out the total for MSJ.
Keeping a fairly effective defensive leash on the Hurricanes' star guard, Lisa Mirarchi, the Mounties held the senior to 11 points. However, junior forward Jackie Carlin stepped up to fire a game-high 21 points for Villa Maria (7-2 league, 12-4 overall), which also received four points apiece from junior point guard Devon Tirney and junior forward Molly Namiotka, and two from its fifth starter, junior forward Mora Fetterolf.
Two days prior to their most recent overtime epic, each team won a home game in the league, the Mount dispatching Nazareth Academy, 60-25, while Villa vanquished Merion Mercy, 35-21.
Three-point field goals by Monzo and Tacka helped the visitors enjoy a 10-8 edge at the end of the first quarter on Thursday. Still up by two near the end of the second period, the Magic held the ball on offense and then had Louin drive to the hoop and draw a foul. With five seconds left she made both of her free throws, finishing the half with eight points while contributing to a 20-16 lead at the interlude.
Villa's Carlin also had eight points in the book, and Geatens, with two lay-ups and a 15-footer, had six marked down.
A little past the midway point in the third quarter, Villa had pared one point off its deficit to make it 27-24. Fouled on a successful lay-up, the Mount's Geatens completed the traditional three-point play, and when Monzo made good on another drive, the Magic owned the largest lead of the afternoon, an eight-point bulge at 32-24.
As the clocked dropped under the two-minute mark in the quarter, Carlin and Mirarchi each hit a lone free throw for Villa, then in the final minute Carlin brought the Hurricanes all the way back to 32-all with a pair of three-point field goals, the second one a buzzer-beater heaved up from well beyond the arc.
A Mirarchi lay-up off of a steal by Tirney moved the hosts ahead as the fourth quarter dawned, then a drive by Tacka and a free throw by Geatens nudged the Magic into the lead. Geatens scored in transition off a feed from Louin, who then popped in a jumper for a 39-34 tally.
Villa fans once again saw Carlin ride to the rescue at the three-point line, and after her triple rippled the net, a drive by Mirarchi made it 39-39, completing the score for regulation play with almost three minutes still on the clock. A strategic chess match between the squads yielded no points during the rest of the quarter, with a drive by Mirarchi in the final seconds foiled on a block by MSJ's Louin.
Carlin produced her last point for the hosts on a free throw at the start of the four-minute overtime, and Louin got the Mount going with a put-back of her own shot. With less than a minute left, the 'Canes caught the Magic unprepared on an inbounds play at the baseline, and a wide open Namiotka deposited a lay-up that gave Villa its last lead of the day. The hosts called a time-out with 45.3 seconds on the clock, up 42-41.
The Mount came down the floor, and from near the foul line, Louin shot a ball that came off the rim to the left side. It was headed out over the baseline, but Geatens saved it with a sidearm scoop that sent the ball back to Louin just outside the elbow. She drove into the lane and deposited the game-winning field goal with 18 seconds left.
The Hurricanes' Carlin ran into an MSJ double-team as she tried to go in for a final shot, and the ball went out over the baseline off of Villa. Receiving the inbounds pass from Tacka, Louin was fouled, and she stuck the final score on the board from the free throw line with 5.5 ticks to go.

Fifty years ago, Sept. 12, 1963, was a Thursday, under the sign of Virgo. Young people were listening to "My Boyfriend's Back" by the Angels. J.D. Salinger's "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour, An Introduction," had recently been published.
Movies released in September included Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds," with Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren, and "The Great Escape," starring Steve McQueen and James Garner.
Much of the news in the country was centered around the Civil Rights movement, which was in full swing, with almost daily demonstrations, especially in the South. Our role in Vietnam was growing. Three months earlier, on June 11, a Buddhist monk had immolated himself on a Saigon street to protest alleged persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. The next day, June 12, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot and killed outside his home in Jackson, Miss., by a white racist.
Also on June 12, Alabama Gov. George Wallace blocked two black students from registering at the University of Alabama. President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and had them escort the two students to campus to be registered. The day before, Kennedy addressed the nation in a speech that defined his position on civil rights. The bill that he submitted to Congress was ultimately passed as the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Firefighters tuned their hoses on civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham, Ala., in mid-July and folk singers Joan Baez and Bob Dylan performed during a civil rights rally on Aug. 28.
On Sept. 12, the Beatles were in their London EMI studios recording "Hold Me Tight," and "Don't Bother Me." The Porsche 911 was making its debut on this day in Frankfurt, Germany. And after 234 episodes, on this date, "Leave it to Beaver" had its last telecast.
But the event that shattered my life on this date 50 years ago was standing 15 feet from my father and watching him die of a heart attack. Our family had just finished dinner, and he and I had moved into the living room — just the two of us. He was smoking his pipe while lying on a sofa — his typical after-dinner relaxation. We were talking about the U.S. Amateur Golf Tournament, when he choked once, dropped his pipe and was gone. Life as I had known it for my first 14 and a half years would never again be the same.
The illusory beliefs that had allowed my world to seem stable, predictable and safe had been obliterated. In watching his sudden death, I had my childhood innocence irrevocably ripped away from me. I felt a sense of alienation and estrangement from my everyday world.
Two months later, on Nov. 22, the rest of the country was plunged in to a similar trauma with the assassination of President Kennedy during a Dallas motorcade. Since I was already numb in my mourning, I could only sit back and watch the horrific events of that time unfold with a sense of bewilderment. Did Jack Ruby just shoot Lee Harvey Oswald live on television? Is this really happening?
It was, for some time, difficult for me to decipher what events in my world were real and what felt like it had to be hallucination or fantasy.
Now, 50 years later, I have better learned to accept the unpredictability of the events beyond our control that effect our lives, sometimes in profoundly shocking ways. I have spent a career helping others cope with and mourn the their inevitable losses and assisted them in growing stronger from the trauma of living that is part of our existential predicament.
