Get Back Lyrics
One bright morning I walked down the glen and down the mountain side. Not bound to work in the clay no more to go where the day may bide. And down the borren a cold wind rose, a ghost upon the breeze. To moan and kick up old angers and torments upon me. Get back you specters, back you shades that haunt me in my dreams. For I am bound to see a brand new lover. And off they ran as small birds sang at me within the trees. Under the sun and how I enjoyed my own continuity. It was luck and privilege that brought me here and strength that makes me stay and the song upon the breeze tells how kindness reciprocates.

The peoples of earlier times prospered from the guidance of simple stories that offered answers to their deepest questions. We need those now more than ever.
David Korten
David Korten on how closing the wealth gap can open the way to a fairer, more prosperous economy.
Money is the least of our problems. It's time to pay attention to the real deficits that are killing us.
How can we create an economy that serves the health and well-being of both people and the planet? Follow the Earth's lead.
David Korten: Indigenous wisdom reveals a path to the future that does not include a buy-out of the earth's natural systems.
How we can call out the myths, restructure the banking system, shut down the con game, and take back America.
We've finally learned that a growing financial sector isn't the same thing as actual economic improvement. So how can we stimulate the real economy?
There's lots of anger against the Federal Reserve from the left and the right. David Korten argues that what it needs is some major restructuring.
By the calendar it's autumn, but for many it is the beginning of the American Spring.
Step by step we can reclaim for Main Street the economic and political power that Wall Street now holds and create a world that truly works for all.
What might a truly new economic vision for America look like? This is my answer framed as the presidential address we must prepare the way for a future president to deliver.
What might a truly new economic vision for America look like? This is my answer framed as the presidential address we must prepare the way for a future president to deliver.
No one of us can do it alone. If, however, we each contribute according to our distinctive gifts and circumstances, together we can turn the human course.
From religion to the arts, we have more influence on culture than we think. We can use that power to expand or to limit our possibilities as a species.
To turn the human course, change the framing story, create a new reality, and change the rules.

Alternate headline: "Man running for nomination of wrong party." No, seriously — this is noteworthy not for the easy left-wing dig at O but because it proves this guy's not planning a serious primary challenge to Hillary. The left is looking for someone to make things interesting but their true love, Elizabeth Warren, has showed no interest whereas Schweitzer has. And he's probably good enough if the goal is simply to hassle Hillary a bit from the left, to make sure she panders appropriately on things like adding a public option to ObamaCare.
But an "in it to win it" candidacy a la Obama's in 2008? Nope. Which means, between this and Bridgegate, Hillary's having the best week she's had in ages.
But at the moment, Schweitzer is rubbing his chin, looking up at the ceiling, searching – unsuccessfully – for just the right words. The question was simple enough: Is there a single thing President Obama has done that you consider a positive achievement?
Finally, he spoke.
"My mother, God rest her soul, told me 'Brian, if you can't think of something nice to say about something change the subject,'" he said.
But he couldn't help himself, slamming Obama's record on civil liberties (the NSA revelations were "un-effing-believable"), his competency ("They just haven't been very good at running things"), and above all, Obamacare ("It will collapse on its own weight")…
But what Schweitzer does have is a message that's unique in the likely Democratic field. The former governor is gambling that Democrats won't just want an alternative to Clinton in 2016–they'll want a complete and total rejection of the Obama presidency.
Which is insane. Specifically, as Jamelle Bouie says, it's insane because black Democrats continue to support O with stratospheric job approval numbers after turning out for him to an unprecedented degree in 2012. If they had turned out at the same rate that year as they did in 2004, Romney would have won the election — and Democratic leaders are, of course, keenly aware of it. Their great fear in 2016 is that black and Latino turnout rates will revert to pre-Obama levels, leaving the party in deep trouble against a strong GOP nominee. (That's why Christie worked hard to pad his margins with Latinos in his gubernatorial run last year. Ninety percent of his own primary pitch will be aimed at convincing righties that he can pick off more votes from those more or less ungettable groups than anyone else can.) The point is, as natural as it is for ideologues to try to reorient a party their way after eight years of an incumbent president making compromises to stay viable in the center, liberal Democrats have a special challenge in running away from O. They need to reject disfavored parts of his legacy while taking care not to reject them too harshly lest minority voters in the Obama coalition take offense.
Schweitzer seems not to care about that, which means he's either (a) a loudmouth whose self-satisfaction in "telling it like it is" leaves him blind to basic electoral realities or (b) a realist who knows that no netroots fundraising drive for him is going to present a serious challenge to the Clinton machine. Obama was a unique candidate in his historical significance and retail skills; Schweitzer is more of a colorful gadfly. The best he can do from this campaign, he may have concluded, is raise his national profile, move the primary discussion to the left, and maybe guarantee himself some sort of cabinet position or ambassadorship if Hillary wins. In which case, yeah, he can get away with some "Obama's good for nothing" talk. For sheer amusement alone, righties should hope he jumps in and gives Clinton hell. My impression after watching a few interviews is that he's a loose cannon, which will make an otherwise dull, perfunctory Democratic primary fun, and the more he succeeds in making Hillary pander to liberals the more ammo the GOP will have against her in the general election. Plus — get this — he's pro-gun, at least enough so that he opposes a new assault-weapons ban. That alone is enough to render him DOA in a presidential primary, but watching him needle Hillary from the left on nearly every issue and then switch to defending the Second Amendment when she starts needling him about guns would be endless entertainment. Let's make it happen, America.

Stroke survivors who smoke raise risk of more strokes, heart attack, death
Stroke survivors who smoke put themselves at a greater risk of additional strokes, heart attack or death than those who never smoked, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke.
Those who quit smoking before their stroke also had less risk of poorer outcomes than current smokers, researchers found.
Researchers in Melbourne, Australia, tracked 1,589 patients who experienced a first or recurrent stroke in 1996-99. They followed them for 10 years, using medical records and in-person and telephone interviews, and tracked demographics, deaths, recurrent strokes and heart attacks.
Compared to those who never smoked:
- Those who smoked when they had a stroke were 30 percent more likely to have a poor outcome.
- Among those who survived the first 28 days after stroke, current smokers had a 42 percent higher risk of poorer outcomes.
- Ex-smokers had an 18 percent higher risk of poorer outcomes. Compared to past smokers:
- Among those who survived the first 28 days after stroke, current smokers had a 23 percent higher risk of poorer outcomes during the 10 years.
"This research provides fresh incentive to quit smoking now or never start because it shows smokers fare far worse after strokes than non-smokers," said Amanda Thrift, Ph.D., the study's lead researcher and professor of epidemiology for the Department of Medicine in the Southern Clinical School at Monash University in Clayton, Victoria, Australia.
In the study, those living in disadvantaged areas were much more likely to smoke, with 52 percent of current smokers belonging to the most disadvantaged group, compared to 31 percent of those who never smoked.
"We also found smoking had its greatest impact on younger patients," Thrift said. "The people who smoked in our study were younger, more often male, and more often from a disadvantaged background. Although we want everyone to give up smoking, targeting this group could yield greater benefits with fewer dollars spent."
The study focused on patients who survived the most common type of stroke: an ischemic stroke (caused by blood clot). Researchers didn't link smoking to poorer long-term outcomes for patients whose stroke was caused by bleeding within the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage), possibly due to a small sample size.
Previous studies, which have been shorter, had a smaller sample size or were less comprehensive, have provided inconsistent results on smoking's role on long-term outcomes after a stroke.
Stroke is the fourth-leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States.
Someone in America has a stroke about every 40 seconds.

I am looking for a counter-example of two functors F : C -> D and G : D->C such that

I am looking for a counter-example of two functors F : C -> D and G : D->C such that
1) F is left adjoint to G
2) F is right adjoint to G
3) F is not an equivalence (ie F is not a quasi-inverse of G)
There are lots of examples. Here's what I think is in some sense the minimal one.
Let $C$ be the terminal category $\mathbf{1}$ (one object, and only the identity arrow). Then for any category $D$, a left adjoint to the unique functor $G: D \to \mathbf{1}$ is an initial object of $D$, and a right adjoint is a terminal object. So, we're looking for a category $D$ that has a zero object (one that is both initial and terminal), but is not equivalent to the terminal category.
There are plenty of such categories $D$, e.g. $\mathbf{Vect}$. But I guess the minimal one is the category $D$ generated by a split epimorphism. In other words, it consists of two objects, $0$ and $d$, and non-identity arrows $$ p: d \to 0, \ \ \ i: 0 \to d, \ \ \ ip: d \to d, $$ satisfying $pi = 1_0$. Then $0$ is a zero object but $D$ is not equivalent to the terminal category.
Yes, there are many such functors. They are usually called "biadjoint." A good example is tensor product with a vector space $V$ in the category of finite dimensional vector spaces. This is actually adjoint to itself.
This is a little funny since to find this adjunction you have to pick an isomorphism $V\cong V^*$, but that's OK; adjunction of functors only makes sense up to isomorphism anyways.
Another good example is induction and restriction for an inclusion of finite groups.
The answer of Ben Webster, can be made easier. Consider the functor F : (A-mod) -> (A-mod) which maps any A-module on (0). Then, F is a left adjoint to F ; and so, is a also a right adjoint to F. This is clear because for all A-modules N, M, one has Hom_A(0,N)=Hom_A(M,0). But, F is not an equivalence.
A pair of functors with this property where called Frobenius functors in S. Caenepeel, G. Militaru and S. Zhu, Doi-Hopf modules, Yetter-Drinfel'd modules and Frobenius type properties, {\sl Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.} {\bf 349} (1997), 4311--4342.
And main examples are given for cateogory o generalized Hopf modules, Yetter-Drinfel'd modules.
A detalied study of the you can find in :

Edit: Misread the question
Take $j:U\to X$ an immersion of topological spaces. Then the restriction of sheaves of $A$-modules $j^* : Sh(X,A)\to Sh(U,A)$ has a right adjoint $j_*$ and a left adjoint $j_!$ (extension by 0).

Ive just come across this amazing site of tips for helping reluctant boys to write! I feel so completely inspired by some of the ideas! For more information (or to see the full text referred to) click on the link to the blog here.
1. Boys who were allowed to choose writing topics showed increased motivation and engagement. Page 10
2. Boys are helped by experiencing examples of different text forms. This helped boys in non-fiction writing. Page 15
3. A "guys-only" writing workshop was initiated for a small number of boys. They came away very motivated to write as a result. Page 16
4. Boys planned their writing using graphic organizers both individually and in pairs. Page 17
5. When boys were given assignments with step-by-step instructions, clear expectations and a formula to follow, assignments were completed. Page 23
6. Boys were introduced to the "APE" (answer, prove, extend) strategy to help them to write at a higher level. Page 23
7. Boys saw the importance of an authentic audience and a real purpose when they produced a "Boys Writing for Boys!" newsletter.Page 23
8. Talk is an important scaffold for boys writing activities. Talk builds social interaction, and deepens understanding and is a precursor to writing. Pages 32 and 33.
9. Allow boys to share their thinking through talk prior to a written assignment. It will improve their ability to communicate. Page 34
10. Boys use of the debate to discuss authentic and relevant issues transferred into their non-fiction persuasive writing. Page 35
11. Boys welcome having male role models as writers. Page 39
12. Boys choice of topics for writing allows for ownership. Page 47
13. Schools can tap into the real-life connection by creating blogs for the students to use for class writing. Page 48.
14. Boys prefer to write about real-life and hands-on experiences.Page 49.
15. Boys' writing improved during activities that were highly motivating and grounded in the real world, coupled with direct instruction about the writing form and supported with the use of visuals such as anchor charts, word walls, and graphic organizers.Page 49.
16. Boys like to write about exaggerations, humour, silly writing, rap songs, procedural writing, short scenes. Page 51.
17. ICT in the form of computers, blogs, wikis and digital voice recorders have been used with boys to reinforce writing skills. Page 53.
18. Boys with special needs thrive when given the opportunity to work with assistive technologies: graphic organizers, dictation software. Write and edit in-class compositions electronically allowed them to receive immediate feedback. Page 53.
19. Teachers observed that when the number of paper and pencil tasks was decreased, students were more engaged during the writing activities. Page 55.
20. Boys who design and play video games develop sophisticated operational, cultural and critical literacy skills. Page 57.
21. Boys requested boy friendly topics, a clear outline of what is expected, a shorter writing process and fewer things to fix when they are finished. Page 66.
22. An emphasis on non-fiction writing (Reeves, 2000) Page 79.
23. Boys' teachers placed a heavier emphasis on oral assessment and performance-based assessment, such as drama activities rather than traditional assessments based on writing. Page 82.

Adelaide's 'goodwill gesture' costs it draft picks 20 and 54
THE AFL was saved embarrassment at Thursday's national draft after Adelaide's extraordinary decision to give up its first two draft picks as the team braces for heavy penalties from the Kurt Tippett saga.
The Crows will not use picks No. 20 and No. 54 in the draft, saying on Wednesday that the move was a ''gesture of goodwill''.
Adelaide's first pick will now be No. 62.
Crows chairman Rob Chapman said it was a common-sense initiative given the club is under investigation by the AFL over the Tippett affair and alleged third-party payments to players.
The AFL has moved to fast-track the Tippett hearing, with a preliminary meeting between all parties on Friday.
AFL football operations boss Adrian Anderson confirmed the league will summon lawyers representing Adelaide, Tippett, chief executive Steven Trigg, John Reid and football operations manager Phil Harper in a bid to clear up any procedural matters that may slow down next week's AFL Commission hearing.
Anderson applauded the Crows' decision to voluntarily relinquish the first two draft picks and admitted he would stonily recommend to the AFL Commission the ''appropriate'' decision should be strongly taken into account when and if the commissioners have to consider punishment for the Crows.
Anderson said the decision was not an acceptance of guilt but plainly indicated an intent by the club - which came forward to the AFL with the damning correspondence that precipitated the AFL investigation and charges - to make certain admissions at the AFL Commission hearing on November 30.
The AFL should have a clearer picture of Adelaide's intentions at the preliminary hearing by the commission's sub-committee, set down for Friday at 4pm.
''I think that is a really positive step by the club, a gesture of goodwill by the club and I will certainly
recommend to the commission that this is taken into account in Adelaide's favour at the commission hearing scheduled for November 30,'' Anderson said.
''We had discussions with Adelaide but at the end of the day this is something that Adelaide had to volunteer and they made the decision themselves to volunteer these two picks and I think that is the right move.''
The AFL had been keen to have this matter resolved ahead of the national draft but given the timing this was not practical.
So Adelaide's decision to voluntarily forgo picks helps the AFL out of the uncomfortable situation of having the club participate in a draft while confronting such serious charges and potential punishments.
Adelaide's move required an AFL Commission circular to change the draft order.
The Crows could not have simply passed on their first two picks and then picked in the third and subsequent rounds as once a club passes on a pick it cannot re-enter the draft.
''The key point at the end of the day is Adelaide have recognised and decided it is appropriate that they don't participate in the first two selections of this draft,'' Anderson said.
''I think it is sensible, I think it is the right thing and something that had to happen by Adelaide volunteering and I think they have to be given credit for that … I think it is better for the game that they don't [participate in the first two rounds of the draft] in all circumstances.''
Trigg, the chief executive who is personally facing charges over the Tippett case, was not present at the AFL chief executives' meeting on the Gold Coast. The Crows were represented by another club official.
Lawyers representing all parties were told early on Wednesday of the AFL's move.
One issue that could be resolved on Friday is Tippett's bid to have AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou removed from the commission adjudications in the belief that the AFL boss is now conflicted having spoken about the case to Chapman, the Crows chairman.
The salary cap and draft-tampering charges relate to Tippett's lucrative 2009 contract with Adelaide.
The AFL has ordered that Tippett stay on Adelaide's list for now, even though he wants a trade to the Swans. That meant the Crows had to delist teenager Nick Joyce.
Chapman also said: ''We are in ongoing discussions with the AFL. This gesture forms part of those discussions and is made in good faith.
''There are pressing deadlines with the draft and our priority is to see Nick Joyce back on our main list. This will now happen at the pre-season draft. So we see this as a pragmatic gesture made in good faith. It's all about seeking the best overall outcome for the Adelaide Football Club.''
The AFL's media manager, Patrick Keane, tweeted on Wednesday afternoon: ''Adrian Anderson will recommend to AFL Commission Adelaide's actions be taken into consideration in its deliberations next week.''

Easing concerns that New Super Mario Bros. Wii selling 1.39 million copies in its first two weeks on U.S. store shelves might somehow not be impressive enough, Nintendo has announced that the game has since crossed the 2 million mark.
Nintendo's follow-up to yesterday's sales figures says that the Wii game has racked up at least another 610,000 sales in the days following the NPD Group's tracking period. That would be from November 29 to December 10, more or less, about 50,000 copies a day on average.
We'd expect to see New Super Mario Bros. Wii on the NPD charts for a long time, as we did with New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS and Mario Kart Wii.

Dr Steve Carr
If you look back at all the valedictories that have been written, almost all of them contain some superlative description of the fellow. Steve will not be exempt. Without doubt, Steve Carr, is the nicest guy we've ever had. All the fellows are good surgeons, clinicians, technicians, intellects, communicators etc. and Steve is no exception, but no one has been as friendly, kind and considerate as Steve. Combine this with an absolute dedication to patient care and you have an amazing doctor.
Steve came to us from Denver, Colorado and will take an appointment at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. While he was here with his wife Mary, they had their first child, Benjamin. We wish them the very best of luck in the future.
Omar Arnaout
Where does one start when trying to describe a phenomenon? I have only accepted a fellow sight unseen on 2 previous occasions but there was no way I could get Andy Parsa off my back until I said yes. Those of you who knew Andy, knows that he was the consummate resident advocate and in his opinion Omar HAD to learn my techniques….there was no compromise. He must've called me 20 times pushing for me to say yes and I was so pleased that I accepted Omar only 5 days before Andy's tragic and sudden death.
I don't know where to start when elucidating Omar's amazing qualities. It just has to be in point form…
• Kind and generous person
• Loving and devoted husband to Maya
• Skilled surgeon
• Courage and conviction both in and out of the operating room
• Dedication to every thing he takes on
• Affable and sociable
• Takes computers apart as a hobby!
• Delightful traveling partner
• Good bloke
It was a privilege and a pleasure having him as our fellow….and even more pleasurable getting to know his gorgeous wife, Maya. They will be sadly missed by me, my family, our staff and all their many friends that they made during their time in Sydney. Omar is now an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and we wish him the best of Aussie luck…..our loss is their gain!!!!
Reid Hoshide
Reid came to us from UCSD, San Diego, with a glowing reference from one of my old and dear friends, Larry Marshall. Those of you who know Larry, know that Larry does not mince his words. If Larry doesn't like someone, then that person knows it and so does everyone else, even if they don't want to know! So when Larry told me that Reid was a solid doctor with excellent clinical skills, I believed him.
Reid demonstrated a level of commitment never before seen at the Centre. His care and concern for his patients took precedence over all other concerns. His surgical skills were excellent and matched his clinical acumen. True to form, Reid produced more peer-reviewed articles whilst our fellow than any other (…Mike Sughrue doesn't count! ). Reid returned to UCSD with his beautiful wife where I'm sure he'll make a huge impact on the US scene and will eventually settle in his home state of Hawaii. We wish him the best of luck….aloha !!
Patrick Codd
Patrick was also from Duke University. However, that's probably the only thing he had in common with his predecessor, Vijay Agarwal. Vijay was loud, Patrick was quiet. Vijay had a crude, politically incorrect sense-of-humour, Patrick had a wicked, politically correct sense-of-humour. Patrick had a pedigree that read like the who's who of academia….an engineering degree from Caltech, a medical degree and residency from Harvard and a joint appointment with the departments of engineering and neurosurgery at Duke University.
Like many fellows before him, Patrick sacrificed a lot to learn our minimally invasive techniques. For 6 months, he left his beautiful wife and young daughter to spend time in Sydney mastering keyhole cranial surgery…..not for financial reward, not because it was a compulsory component of his career, not for any other reason but to offer his future patients better outcomes. Patrick worked tirelessly while he was with us at the Centre. His commitment to patient care was second to none and his compassion and kindness to his patients was exemplary.
Patrick taught me about commitment. His vegan diet was not from any religious belief or any dietary likes or dislikes. It was solely a decision based on his love of sentient creatures and a knowledge that our current consumption of meat is unsustainable. Patrick will be missed by all, especially me.
Vijay Agarwal
What does one say about a colourful person who is larger-than-life and whose personality is so loud, that it silences all those around? If you know or have met Vijay, you know exactly what I mean. Vijay came to us from the auspicious halls of Duke University, arguably the best brain cancer centre in the world. We were told that he was a good resident, an innovative thinker with several patents to his name, and a hard working resident. We were not told that he was once a stand-up comedian, who has a wit that is sharper than a box-cutter and quicker than a rattle-snake. We were not told that he has self-confidence that makes confidant people like me look like church mice.
Vijay WAS a good resident and he WAS an innovative thinker and he did a superb job with his patient care. But more than that, he entertained us, amused us, and taught us some valuable lessons in life…..all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
I will miss him very much, but I know that he will continue to bring joy and warmth to all those lucky enough to work with him.
Mike DeCuypere
Mike came to us from the University of Tennessee at which Prof. Rick Boop is the Chairman of Neurosurgery. Rick is also the President of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Mike holds the distinction of being the first and only fellow to be accepted without a personal interview. Given the many long hours that I spend with the fellow both in Sydney and overseas, the interview is an important aspect of the selection process as it is vital that I actually LIKE the fellow and feel that I would enjoy the time together.
Mike did not disappoint. Mike is a true "Southern" gentleman. He is not only a gifted surgeon, a devoted clinician and a compassionate doctor, he is a renaissance man with good humour, integrity and a warm and generous soul.
I really enjoyed the time that we spent together, and like many of my fellows, Mike taught me more about friendship, commitment and aspects of neurosurgery than I probably taught him.
Mike, we wish you all the best in the future and know that any patient who is lucky enough to have you as their surgeon, will be blessed as we were over the last 6 months.
Dr Nicholas Koechlin
Nick did his residency training in Zurich at the University of Zurich. This is considered one of the most prestigious centres in the world, indeed the hospital where Prof. Gazi Yasargil was Chairman for many years. He then completed a fellowship with Prof. Robert Reisch, considered one of the pioneers in minimally invasive neurosurgery. Nick was with us for 12 months. Initially as an Observational Fellow then as the Clinical Fellow.
Neurosurgery is arguably the most physically and emotionally taxing of all the medical and surgical specialties. It is a demanding discipline where patients can die unexpectedly and mistakes are unforgiving. With this pressure, neurosurgeons often develop a hard exterior, distancing themselves from their patients and sometimes even their loved ones. It is a plausible self-preservation defence mechanism. Nick was the opposite.
He was warm and compassionate with his patients and relatives and engaged all the nursing staff and other health care workers in his daily interactions. He was not only like this professionally but also in his social interactions. Nick is a technically excellent surgeon, who has been very well trained and will be a worthy addition to any neurosurgical team. We wish him and his beautiful family the best of Aussie luck.
Dr Tyler Auschwitz
Dr Samy El Hammady
Link to website
Samy wants to be and will likely succeed in being, the best neurosurgeon in the world! I have never seen anyone as driven and ambitious as Samy. There was not a day in the 6 months that he was here where he did not give himself a challenge and pursue it relentlessly. If I ever raised an issue or clinical fact that was previously unknown to him, he would trawl through the neurosurgical literature researching every aspect so that he would be totally familiar with the latest information. God forbid if I ever gave him any misinformation! He was not backward in coming forward, and would quickly correct me and before I knew it, I became the pupil and he the teacher! That was probably the most appealing facet of his personality….Samy is a no bullshit kind of guy…..what you see is what you get. We found his honesty, spirituality, commitment to excellence and generosity of spirit without equal. His technical skill in the operating room is second to none and only equalled by his clinical care.
As with many of my previous fellows, as the 6 months drew to a close, I wasn't sure if I had taught the fellow any more than he had taught me. We will miss Samy terribly and wish him the best of luck with his career and family
Dr Brian Dlouhy
Brian Dlouhy came to us from Iowa City, USA. You will recall that Brian was mentored by one of our previous fellows, Jeremy Greenlee, who was an exceptional neurosurgeon. They say that the best compliment that you can give to someone is imitation. Brian was almost an exact clone of Jeremy. Brian was quiet but when he spoke people would listen. He ran a very tight ship and when he had a clinical dilemma you knew that the problem was serious. Brian didn't talk the talk….he walked the walk! Throughout the entire 6 months my practice ran so smoothly I thought that I had reached a new level of clinical excellence. I have since discovered that it wasn't my surgical skills as much as Brian's diligence and ability to handle any complication or communication issue.
Despite being a hot-blooded, single, handsome (…I am told), young American surgeon, he cast aside his carnal desires for patient responsibilities, often spending entire weekends in the office, reviewing scans from across the globe.
At the end of his fellowship, Brian's parents came to visit and I had the good fortune of spending time with them over Christmas dinner. It was very obvious where Brian had learnt his life skills of conscientiousness, responsibility, moral integrity and humility. At the risk of offending my good friend, Jeremy, there is another saying that applies to Brian…..the sign of a great teacher is when his pupil outshines him….sorry Jeremy, but you are obviously a great teacher! We wish Brian the best of luck in his new position as a fellow in Pediatric Neurosurgery…our loss is their gain.

MARYSVILLE — The unseasonable rainstorm that struck the Marysville area late Sunday was "a 100-year event," a city official said. The sudden downpour backed up storm drains, flooding streets, and water rose to two feet deep in some areas.
According to the Marysville Public Works Department, the city received 2.61 inches of rain in the first 65 minutes. At its peak, the storm cell produced rainfall of 2.48 inches per hour. The total from the storm was 3.40 inches.
Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen called the storm "extremely unique." The rainfall in those two hours was equivalent to a so-called 100-year event, which is defined by the amount of rain that falls in 24 hours, Nielsen said. A 100-year event has an estimated 1 percent chance of happening in a given year, or is expected to occur once every 100 years.
A 100-year rain event for Marysville, as calculated by the state Department of Ecology, would be 3.36 inches — in 24 hours.
The National Weather Service agrees that the Marysville deluge was particularly unique in Western Washington.
"Very few rainfalls during this time of year are above an inch," said meteorologist Johnny Burg of weather service's Seattle office. "Usually rainfalls in May are between one-quarter to three-quarters of an inch."
The storm sewers in Marysville are designed to accommodate a 25-year, 24-hour event, which the state estimates would be 2.75 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Evidence suggests that the trend in Western Washington is for more high-intensity, shorter-duration rains in spring and fall in recent years, Nielsen said.

|Assistant Coach
|Gainesville, Ga.
|Previous College:
|Tennessee Tech
Returning for his fourth year as a full-time assistant coach and fifth overall year as a member of the Tennessee Tech men's basketball coaching staff is former Golden Eagle 3-point specialist Frank Davis.
A tireless worker and savvy recruiter, Davis has played an integral role in selling the Tech basketball program to potential student-athletes, helping land several current members of the Golden Eagle squad, including junior sharpshooter Aleksa Jugovic.
He has openly challenged the native of Serbia to make a run at his own program records in 3-point shooting, goals he fully believes are achievable. Last season Jugovic ranked in the top five in the OVC from downtown, while hitting a conference best 50 percent from deep in league play.
Davis assisted in Tech's fantastic 2015-16 campaign as the Golden Eagles soared to a 19-12 overall record and 11-5 mark in Ohio Valley Conference play while returning to the postseason for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign with a bid in the inaugural Vegas 16 Tournament.
In April, Davis was one of 30 assistant coaches nationally recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), earning a spot on the 2016 Under Armour 30-under-30 Team.
A standout ball player and graduate in the class of 2010 with a degree in exercise science and physical wellness, Davis began his transition from player to coach at Piedmont College during the 2010-11 season, before taking a graduate assistant coaching position at Lee University during 2011-12.
Davis finished out his career at Tech at the top of the all-time 3-point shooting list, having netted 251 buckets from downtown during his 2006-2010 career. He logged two seasons with a 3-point shooting accuracy over 40 percent (42.9 percent in 2008-09 and 44.4 percent in 2009-10) and is No. 2 on the Golden Eagle list of career games played with 125.
A standout in the classroom as well, Davis was named four times to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll while earning a spot in Tech's 1,000-point club with 1,118 career points.
Davis is a native of Gainesville, Ga., and completed his master's degree in education at Tennessee Tech in 2013. He is married to the former Allison Price, who started three years at guard for the Golden Eagle women's basketball team.

By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Owen Cole of Tabor (Kan.) is named the NAIA Football National Special Teams Player of the Week; Cameron Fore of Benedictine (Kan.) is tabbed as the NAIA Football National Offensive Player of the Week and Andrew Stewart of Kentucky Christian is recognized as the NAIA Football National Defensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Monday. The trio was chosen for their performances during the week of Oct. 7 – 13 and each was selected from a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Cole, a freshman from Freeport, Fla., had two kickoff returns for a combined 125 yards for the Bluejays. The freshman, who also sees time at running back, highlighted his second game returning kicks by taking a second quarter kickoff 96 yards for his first collegiate touchdown. Prior to Saturday's performance, Cole's career-long kickoff return was just seven yards. On offense, Cole added five rushes for 31 yards and one reception for four yards in Tabor's 54-28 trouncing of Kansas Wesleyan. With the victory, Tabor sits at 5-1 on the year, including a 3-1 mark in Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference play.
Fore, a senior running back from Rolla, Mo., rushed for a school-record six touchdowns in Benedictine's 62-37 victory over Avila (Mo.) in Heart of America Conference play. By halftime, Fore had tied the school record with five rushing touchdowns including scores from 43 and 55 yards. The record-breaking score came with just under nine minutes to go in the third quarter, when Fore found his way into the end zone from 25 yards out. The touchdown cemented Fore's place in the Benedictine record book, not only for rushing touchdowns, but also for single-game scoring (36 points). The running back accumulated 236 yards on 21 attempts, bringing his season total to 816 yards in six games. The Ravens running back ranks among the top 25 nationally in total scoring (4th, 86 points), scoring per game (4th, 14.3 points), total rushing yards (7th, 816), rushing yards per game (8th, 136), all purpose yards (16th, 859) and all purpose yards per game (17th, 143.2).
Stewart, a junior linebacker from Cadiz, Ky., led the unranked Kentucky Christian defensive unit with 14 total tackles, including eight solo, in a 22-14 victory over then-No. 17 Lindsey Wilson (Ky.). The junior also recorded two tackles for a loss, by way of two sacks, in the upset. Most impressively, Stewart added two interceptions, including one that he took back 21 yards for his first collegiate touchdown—and the Knights first score of the game—with just under nine minutes to play in the first half. With his two-interception performance, Stewart is now tied for the team lead in interceptions (2). He also leads the Knights in total tackles (60) and solo tackles (32) and ranks second on the team in tackles for a loss (9.5). Nationally, Stewart is among the NAIA leaders in tackles for a loss (18th, 9.5), total interceptions (36th, 2) and tackles for a loss per game (37th, 1.4).

Granby moves away from recreational marijuana
The Granby Board of Trustees announced that they would move toward drafting a town ordinance prohibiting commercial activities related to recreational marijuana at a workshop Tuesday, May 13.
The purpose of Tuesday's workshop was to see if the issue would be sent to Granby's voters in an election. But after only two of the 10 speakers supported the idea, Mayor Jynnifer Pierro said the town would move forward with drafting legislation to prohibit recreational marijuana commerce in Granby.
Town Attorney Scotty Krob said the town could save $3,000 by bypassing the election.
"The next board meeting, or maybe the board meeting after that, we'll have an ordinance drafted," Pierro said.
Many of those who spoke against the proposal Tuesday cited Granby's reputation as a family-friendly destination as a reason for keeping recreational marijuana out.
"This is a family-friendly town," said Granby resident Natascha O'Flaherty. "And again, we have the unfortunate history of a bulldozer. I would like the history to be 'just say no.'"
The few voices in support of allowing recreational marijuana businesses in Granby pointed to the economic benefits that the industry could bring.
Jack Gerstein, who owns property in Granby, said the only people who had approached him about renting a vacant building on his property were people seeking to start marijuana-related businesses.
"I can't say that I'm pro or for marijuana, but I'd certainly like to get some help to help pay my mortgage," Gerstein said.
Pierro and trustees Elaine Henriken, Greg Mordini and David Lockwood all voiced their own opposition to the measure.
"I'm not comfortable with it," Pierro said during the meeting. "It's not the vision that I have for Granby."
Fraser is currently the only municipality in Grand County to allow recreational marijuana sales.
"Grand County approved it, Fraser approved it," Pierro said. "It's not that far to go to get what you need from here."
Those in favor or against the ordinance can still voice their opinions at the next board meeting, Pierro said. She also encouraged people to contact the board if they have any concerns.
The next board meeting will be May 27.

So David Cameron vetoed the new deal in Europe before it had even been written. As far as we can tell, Cameron's position was that Britain must be exempt from any new regulation of the financial sector (you remember them, the ones who got us all in a mess to start with). Clearly Sarkozy (and others) were not going to be told at gunpoint that the British wanted a competitive edge over everyone else in what is supposed to be after all a free trade area – and said so. The result? British walk away before the real negotiations have even begun. No chance for compromise. No chance to argue our case. We aren't playing.
Of course the Eurosceptics are cock-a-hoop. They should be – if Britain ever leaves the EU in the future, it will probably because of that one petulant moment when we vacated our chair at the top table.
The remaining countries at the table will still make their decisions, and make no mistake we will be affected by what they decide. We just have no input any more.
A sensible position might have been to take part in the negotiations, and then exercise our right to say no when the detail had been thrashed out. Even Thatcher and Major always stayed at the table, always fought Britain's corner to the last.
This is a cop out and leaves us isolated and exposed. It's a sop to the Eurosceptic back-benchers and the Eurosceptic press.
If the EU is a juggernaut travelling down the motorway (or autobahn/autostrada/autoroute) we are now riding on the roof. We cannot reach any of the controls and we certainly don't have the ear of the driver.
And frankly, if we go around enough sharp bends we could easily be flung aside.

Dr. William J. Brady had a spotless reputation. Over his medical career, he performed 10,000 autopsies and signed 20,000 death certificates. In 1964, he became the state's last elected coroner, having made a campaign pledge to eliminate the office and establish a medical-examiner system in its place. Brady kept his word, modernizing Oregon's death-investigation system and serving as the state's chief medical examiner from 1969 until 1985.
But it's amazing how fast one little scandal can sink all that.
In June 1985, The Oregonian revealed that Brady's office had been harvesting skin samples and pituitary glands from cadavers--without the knowledge of the victims' families--and selling them.
Brady funneled the cash, which totaled $16,000 over nine years, into office amenities such as flowers, coffee, interior design, a sofa for the lunchroom--even an office Christmas party.
You could say Brady's career was dead on arrival.
With his frost-white beard, booming laugh, and cold hands, Dr. Brady looks like he just stepped out of the basement of the morgue.
"The law was unequivocal that we had the right to remove and submit these glands for research purposes," Brady says. "I ran the office with dignity and respect for the families of the people whose bodies we handled. Always have."
Each pituitary gland--a pea-sized part of the brain that regulates growth--fetched $2 to $4 from the National Hormone and Pituitary Program, which used them to produce growth hormone for stunted kids.
"Some kids would not grow to normal height without these injections," Brady says. "At that time, the only source of the growth hormones were pituitaries collected from cadavers."
Though Brady broke no laws, he offered to resign. Kristine Gebbie, the state Health Division administrator, declined his offer--but three months later gave Brady the ax.
Convinced he had done nothing wrong, Brady filed a lawsuit for termination without due process.
During the trial, grisly stories about Brady and the autopsy business emerged. One tale--later repeated in The New York Times by columnist Bob Herbert--claimed that Brady saved the drained human blood from autopsies and used it in his home garden. Brady says these stories were rubbish.
"During the summer that this hullabaloo took place, there was an intense level of emotion," he explains. "A lot of fairly crazy stories came out."
In March 1987, a jury awarded Brady $300,000 in damages. The ruling stood up all the way through the U.S. Supreme Court. Still, Brady thinks he didn't "win."
"I lost and everybody lost," he says. "I got a lot of money from the state of Oregon that I didn't want, so the state lost. The program lost, and my family lost. So nobody wins in a case like that. I got caught in a political crossfire, and it was ugly."
Today, Brady enjoys a prosperous forensic-pathology practice consulting privately for malpractice and workers'-comp court cases, and also on behalf of the defense in criminal cases--much to the chagrin of his former colleagues at the state medical examiner's office, who are usually testifying for the other side. Some have criticized his methods, notably the Times' Herbert, who called Brady "truly a piece of work" for his involvement in an Idaho case where his conclusions in a murder investigation helped land an innocent man on death row for 21 years. But Brady says his full schedule is a testament to the quality of his work.
Brady still lives in the house where he lived in high school and walks to work at his Northwest Portland office every day. He and his wife enjoy having their five daughters and 15 grandkids nearby. At age 72, Brady has no plans to slow down soon.
"So long as the phone keeps ringing and I enjoy the work and I can do it, I'll keep working," he says. "I have a hard time saying no."

As a motorist, you hear it all the time: Don't drive while distracted. Don't talk on your cell phone. Don't text and drive. Avoid fumbling with CDs or iPod connections. Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.
Apparently, pilots only get this admonition formally from regulators for takeoffs and landings. Just like their passengers, airline pilots are not supposed to use personal electronics during the start and end of a flight. Between those times, it seems they are free to play "Angry Birds" and watch cat videos.
Now, the Federal Aviation Administration wants to ban personal electronics during all phases of flight.
Since 1981, the FAA prohibits any activity while taxiing, taking off or landing that could distract pilots from their duties, under what is called a "sterile cockpit" policy when planes are below 10,000 feet in the air. The new proposal would extend the prohibition against personal electronics to the entire flight.
The 19-page proposal, which will be published Tuesday in the Federal Register, aims to reduce distractions for pilots so they can pay better attention to air-traffic control, weather, environmental hazards and other concerns.
What's interesting is that the FAA isn't proposing this because it fears the devices might screw up a plane's electronics. This comes at a time when the agency is studying whether to drop its prohibition of passenger use of personal tech during takeoff and landing.
But at least one incident indicates the ban on pilots' use of personal electronics might be a good idea:
Congress called for the prohibition a year ago in the latest FAA policy legislation. The FAA says several incidents prompted the proposal, including an incident in October 2009, when two Northwest Airlines pilots using their personal laptops flew 150 miles past their destination of Minneapolis.
Still, portable devices wouldn't be completely verboten during flight. The ban would exempt the tablets and notebook PCs that pilots use for work. Of course, you can still load "Words with Friends" on a work-issued iPad, but the ban would define what constitutes work-related use of portable electronics.
