On May 1, the ninth graders of Canyon View Junior High left the classroom environment to spend a day with nature. One week prior to the trip, in Lee Moss' earth systems science class, the students discussed the idea of making the world a little bit better. That is when science teacher Lee Moss proposed the Lowry Water Conservation Project to the students.
Spending a day with nature has been an annual event for five years now. Mr. Moss said that he just wanted to get the students involved, and despite the fact that it is only one day of work, the amount accomplished in one day is just incredible.
Mr. Moss contacted the forest service and received a list of jobs to be done. He posted the jobs available, after which students were assigned to a work group. Each group was assigned to bring different tools and equipment.
The students arrived at their destination the Lowry Water Campsite, ready and eager to work. The campsite is approximately three miles North of Joe's Valley Reservoir. Bill Broadbear and Andrew Johnson for the Price/Ferron Ranger District were on hand to give the students instructions as well as their teacher Mr. Moss.
The students were informed as to the work that had already taken place at the campsite. The dying cottonwoods had already been identified and cutdown by the forest service at an earlier time. The reason for doing this was to protect campers and their equipment from falling trees.
The group identified as the tree packers would pack and stack the downed trees into piles. These piles of wood will be used later by campers at the site. A group called the pinion and cottonwood transplanters, would dig up trees from different areas and transplant them back where the diseased trees had been removed.
Another group identified as the tilling group would till up open ground and then plant it with grass. Another group worked on building a small dam to stop further erosion of the stream bank.
Step-building was the job of another group. This group made steps out of treated wood. The steps led down to a popular place to play in the water. The steps would also help to prevent the erosion of the stream bank. The job most wanted among the students was the policemen. It was their job to see that each group remained on task. Other groups included the refreshment group who were assigned to bring healthy snacks and provide water to all of the workers. It was the job of the public relations group to make a video tape of the event, take digital pictures and submit a written report to the newspaper.
The students worked hard all day long and only stopped for lunch. After the jobs were completed the students boarded the bus for the trip back to the school. The students had a sense of pride and accomplishment. Mr. Moss' class really did make the world a little bit better.
Students' comments included: "I felt that we accomplished a lot and I'm proud of most of us for our hard work. I believe that this will help the environment a lot." "We had fun and got a lot accomplished." "It was a lot of work that we did, but it was very fun. I would do it anytime. It was better than going to school. We should do it again." "On the way up to Lowry Water, I thought it was some nice country. It was fun to work at transplanting cottonwood trees, and help the forest service." "I thought it was fun to go out into the woods and work instead of going to school." "It was fun to see what everyone had done, it was a lot of work but not that bad." "I feel that it was hard and I am very sore from working so hard. It was beneficial to the environment" (Photos and text by Canyon View students.)

It is my pleasure to host the first edition of SurgeXperiences of the new year (2010) and new decade. I hope you'll grab something to drink and enjoy the reading.
Life in the Fast Lane (multiple authors) has had several surgery related post recently. This first one is from Chris Nickson in which he presents William Ernest Henley's poem Operation. You'll have to go over to read the entire poem, but it begins
You are carried in a basket,
Like a carcass from the shambles,
To the theatre, a cockpit
Where they stretch you on a table.
Then they bid you close your eyelids,
And they mask you with a napkin,
And the anaesthetic reaches
Hot and subtle through your being………
Mike Cadogan, sandnsurf, presents with a wonderful primer on elbow dislocation over at Life in the Fast Lane. (photo credit)
Also at Life in the Fast Lane, check out by Paul Young's post: Renal Riddle-001.
…….It is important to remember that the commonest cause of the 'classic' presentation of renal colic amongst patients presenting to have a post-mortem is ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm…….
MedZag, Training Grounds, writes about Flying Solo in the operating room for the first time.
……….Well this moment was my proverbial 240 yard approach shot plopped down 6 inches from the pin. The first time I get to take the lead during an operation. I step into position above the patient's head and gaze down at the base of the mouth. Just as I get bovie in hand, the attending laughs and says: "Don't worry... the first tonsillectomy I ever scrubbed on, the patient lost 1800ml of blood. The bar's set pretty low." Great. My resting tremor kicks up a couple notches…..
I'm a sucker for a good dog/man friend story, so I greatly enjoyed the one told by Bongi, other things amanzi -- friend's best friend. Not all the commenters agree with me.
Bongi also writes about a patient who needs a fasciotomy
being south african these days sometimes means we see things in a slightly skewed way. it seems to be the way we have become. i have touched on this before, but there is another story which illustrates the point.
the recent run of hijackings were fresh in all our minds because the perpetrators had shot and killed, execution style, a mother and her three year old child just the previous week.
Academic Life in Emergency Medicine shows us a Trick of the Trade: Finger nailbed laceration repair.
This technique requires that the fingernail has a simple linear laceration through it. The fingernail has to be relatively still adherent to the nailbed. The case below is a patient who sustained a fingertip laceration with an industrial skill saw. (photo credit)
SA Anaesthetist writes about Comfort Zones - or "A day in the life of an anaesthetist who hasn't gone away for the holidays"
………….So what, you say, you are a cardiac anaesthesiologist, how hard could it be? And therein lies the rub. The biggest problem facing me now is not the pre-terminal patient. We get enough of those in our fine ivory tower on the hill. No, my problem is that I am going to be way out of my usual haunts. New hospital, new surgeon (although widely respected), and unfamiliar team = something approaching palpitations…………….
The Sandman tells us his Rule Number 10. Read his post for the story that goes with it:
Response number two aka Rule #10:
A surgeon is assigned the anesthesiologist he/she deserves.
Oystein, Sterile Eye, tells (and shows) us how to Remote Rig for Filming Open Surgery (photo credit)
A couple of years ago I decided to make my own remote rig for filming open surgery. For a lot of operations in the abdomen and deep in the pelvis, the commercially available equipment could not provide the access I wanted. Designed by me and built at the hospital's own instrument shop, the rig provides an excellent view of the surgical field and less strain on the cameraman………
Ask The Burn Surgeon has written an informative response with photos, Management of 2nd degree superficial burns, to the following question:
Dear burn surgeon,
My daughter has a burn with hot soup on the hand with a lot of ugly looking blisters. Am worried as it's quite painful. How will it heal and will it leave a scar?

A patient comes in with the entirely understandable complaint of "I have a fishbone lodged in my throat". Came straight from dinner to the ED. When I ask a stupid question I'm given a stupid answer: "It feels like…a fishbone…". Duh on me.
hjluks, Sports Medicine and More.... , shares an x-ray with us simply entitled "ouch!"
Movin' Meat tells us the story that goes with this x-ray in his post, It's a wonder I survived my teen years (photo credit)
Movin' Meat also tells us the tale, There's no bone in there, but it can still break, with MRI images included.
……So recently I saw an unhappy young man with such an injury. It was sustained in the usual manner, but it was in fact the mildest one I have ever seen. The hematoma was not large and the angulation of the injured member was slight. I thought it was clearly a fracture, but the urologist who examined the patient was uncertain, and the patient, understandably, was quite unwilling to undergo surgery if the diagnosis was unclear. We discussed diagnostic options. Ultrasound apparently has a low sensitivity, but, the urologist had read, MRI was supposedly a useful tool. I did not know that. So I proceeded to order the first and only MRI of the penis of my entire career. After an incredulous phone call from the radiologist to confirm the order, we obtained the following images……
Dr Toni Brayer writes about Regional Variations in Total Knee Replacement Surgery
……….Now that I am recovering from a total joint replacement, I am amazed to see the differences in how physicians, doing the same surgery, treat the patient. Total knee replacement (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures done today. Despite this, the patient cannot expect the same post op care.
I am in contact with a patient in rural Minnesota who had the same surgery 8 days prior to me. Here are some differences in treatment for the same surgery (TKA):………….
H/T to @nursingpins and @ThyroidMary who provided the link to cancer survivor Roger Ebert's blog post: Nil by Mouth
………A third surgery was attempted, using a different approach. It seemed to work, and in a mirror I saw myself looking familiar again. But after a little more than a week, that surgery failed, too. Blood vessels intended to attach the transplanted tissue lost function, probably because they had been weakened by radiation. A fourth surgery has been proposed, but I flatly reject the idea. To paraphrase a line from "Adaptation's" orchid collector: "Done with surgery."
During that whole period I was Nil by Mouth………..
From Adam's Heart Surgery Blog comes a reminder that often it is the scar that the patient remembers: Even With A Crooked Scar, Sandy Is Extremely Thankful (photo credit)
Well… I am extremely thankful ………..
However… I do have one small complaint that serves as a reminder of the fact that 10 months ago I was in an operating room with my mind blank and my chest opened up. My scar is crooked!
I have been following this story regarding baby Christopher who needs a heart transplant. I first learned of him through a story via Arkansas Blog Christmas day. Christopher was born Nov. 30 in Oregon, but later flown by Angel One (photo credit) to Arkansas Children's Hospital. He was born with hypoplastic right heart syndrome and an AV canal defect. As of this posting, he is still waiting for his transplant. Here's a link where you can sign up to check in on family updates on the baby's situation.
SurgeXperiences is a blog carnival about surgical blogs. It is open to all (surgeon, nurse, anesthesia, patient, etc) who have a surgical blog or article to submit. If you would like to be the host for SurgeXperiences315 or a future edition, please contact Jeffrey who runs the show here.

Fischer takes over the leadership role for Germantown
7-0 center leads Warhawks to 3-0 start
The legend is growing to be as large as the man himself.
And it's only three games into his senior season for Germantown's 7-0 center Luke Fischer as he looks to carry the top-ranked, defending state champion Warhawks basketball team back to the promised land.
In the impressive season-opening, 78-62, win over highly-regarded North Shore rival Homestead, everyone there saw the 28 points that the all-everything Indiana recruit had.
They also, no doubt, couldn't miss many of his seven blocked shots or the many other shots he simply changed by his presence underneath. The standout there was the flying block out of bounds of a baseline 3-point attempt by the Highlanders' talented guard Jake Laihinen, who could only shake his head in disbelief at Fischer's range.
But there were a lot of other things going on with the versatile and athletic center that the average fan may have missed.
Like how he served as a press break in the middle of the court, occasionally bringing the ball across in a pinch, or how veteran coach Steve Showalter would occasionally place him in the high post, where he could easily scan the entire lane area looking for an open teammate (he recorded at least three assists this way).
He also served as decoy on the Warhawks' favorite play, as he came back into the lineup with just two seconds left in the first half, and inbounded a perfect lob to Jake Showalter for an easy hoop that made it a 14-point lead at the break.
And then there's how his repertoire of shots have extended well beyond the dunk and the 2-foot bank shot, which you would think would be a staple of a man his size.
Take, for instance, a sequence in the middle of the second quarter, when the Warhawks were on a 20-4 run that erased an 18-16 early period deficit.
He scored on a nifty up-and-under move, then when the Highlanders were trying to pull the ball out and slow the fast-paced Warhawks down, he used his long arms to get a steal and went in for an emphatic dunk.
He then hit a traditional post move hoop and finished off his mini-outburst with a pair of deftly dropped free throws.
Fischer had 10 points in the quarter, 17 for the half and was well on his way toward making a strong impression on Showalter.
He'll have to work hard to continue to impress Showalter, who challenged him shortly after the Warhawks' state championship confetti had been swept off the Kohl Center floor In Madison in March.
Zak Showalter, Josh Mongan, Dan Studer and all their friends would soon all be gone to graduation, and if the Warhawks were to stay on the top of the mountain, Fischer would have to be the one to carry them on his back.
"Right after the season ended, coach put me in the spotlight," Fischer said. "He told me to do whatever it took to win. It was a good thing to know."
Coach Showalter's spotlight is even brighter now, now that the season has started.
"I expect him (Fischer) to do everything," he said. "Get every rebound, make every shot. ... I expect him to do all this because it's his time."
Fischer is indeed enjoying his time this senior year. He's finalized his commitment to Indiana, which is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation and which turned in an emphatic rout of powerful North Carolina the same night the Warhawks opened their season against Homestead.
Cody Zeller, the Hoosiers' 7-0 leader, paced Indiana in that win and has served as inspiration for Fischer's expanding role with Germantown.
"I've been working a lot on my moves and a lot of the things you're seeing are things that Cody does," Fischer said. "I'm trying to incorporate some of his game into mine. That's where that all comes from."
He also got some inspiration from the Germantown boys volleyball team's second straight North Shore Conference championship and second straight berth into the WIAA State Tournament this fall. Fischer was a dominant opposite-side hitter for the team and earned an impressive first-team all-state honor despite being only in his second year of playing the game.
Fischer credits his volleyball experience with helping his basketball defense. Despite being the help-side stopper on almost every play with his hand in the face of almost every shooter, he didn't pick up a foul until the 5:52 mark of the fourth quarter against Homestead.
"That's all volleyball," Fischer said. "I've been working really hard on my timing and that (volleyball) really helps."
It was a bit of a different situation in the second game with Bay on Friday as he got into first half foul trouble and sat out 11 minutes as his teammates still ran up an impressive 55-point total. But in the third quarter, he scored 10 of his 15 points, including the final four in emphatic fashion as he made a long drive from near center court while the defense parted like the proverbial Red Sea and he exploded for a noisy, two-handed dunk.
And then, just 21 seconds later, he leaked out after a defensive stop took an outlet pass and then again flushed one home as the hometown Warhawks fans filled the gym with their noisy approval.
But he saved his best for last on Saturday night in the 66-64 thriller over Brookfield Central, a game where not much went right for Germantown in the second half (see separate story), but where Fischer was around at the end to gather up a teammate's miss, reverse trajectory and bank home the game-winner at the buzzer with his off hand.
The exciting and hefty early slate didn't phase Fischer at all
"We've had a lot of practice," said Fischer with a laugh. "I prefer the games instead."
Coach Showalter likes just the opposite.
"We've got a lot of work to do," he said coming down the stairs to the lockers after the Homestead tilt. "That was a wild brawl of a game. ... This team is much different (than last year's 28-0 squad). They're still learning. I'm still learning.
"You tell the guys how hard it is when certain teams play us and I don't think they really believe all that until we actually play a team as good as the one we saw tonight.
"We took a couple of shots to the jaw, we wobbled, but we didn't fall."
The big guy in the middle wouldn't let them.

A New Year's Day fire in Ferron destroyed a large shop building owned by Don Conover. According to Sergeant Jeff Thomas several calls were received by dispatch at the Emery County Sheriff's Office beginning at 1:36 a.m.
"A large shop was in flames at 335 West Mill Road in Ferron. The building is owned by Don Conover of Ferron and the shop building was located behind his residence. The fire spread to neighboring property on the east side and destroyed a camp trailer owned by Kern Behling which was parked adjacent to the shop.
"The fire burned so hot that it melted the siding on the Behling home closest to the fire. Fire fighters from Ferron, Orangeville and Emery responded to the blaze. The Ferron ambulance was also on standby. The owners expressed their appreciation for the quick response of the fire fighters.
"The Ferron fire chief and the state fire marshall are involved in the investigation. Preliminary findings by the state fire marshall indicate that it appears to be a set fire, but the cause is still under investigation. There weren't any injuries in the fire. The vehicle repair shop is a total loss and some vehicles inside the shop at the time of the fire were destroyed or damaged.
"It was quite a fire and lit up the whole sky. Two of our deputies responded and several firemen arrived within four-five minutes after receiving the call. They worked to extinquish the fire and secured the scene until the state fire marshall arrived," said Sergeant Thomas.
Conover saved his own vehicles and tractor. Sirens could be heard all over Ferron along with loud explosions from tires and acetylene tanks bursting. Lost inside the shop were two trucks, an engine and two 4-wheelers. The shop was made of steel and wood with a tin roof and all that is left is the frame. Sounds of crackling, bursting and explosions kept spectators and families at a safe distance to watch the fire departments fight the fire. Conover said, "The outcome of this tragic incident is around $200,000 in damages."

Forest Service Hosts Two-Day National Science Forum to Discuss Planning Rule
The Forest Service is collaboratively developing a new planning rule for the National Forest System that will be rooted in science. The collaborative dialog really opened up March 29-30 in Washington DC at the National Science Forum. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited the Forum in demonstration of his support of a new planning rule that embraces participation and is science-based.
The Science Forum was just the first of many opportunities for the public to participate in the development of a new planning rule. In fact, on April 1st and 2nd a National Roundtable discussion is taking place. To view the schedule and watch live selections of National Roundtables. We are also inviting people to join the Virtual Roundtable at our planning rule blog.
The Forum was designed to provide scientific information to serve as the foundation for future collaborative meetings and aid in integrating science into the development of the next planning rule. During the Forum, scientists shared in discussion on the latest science on topics such as restoration, climate change, watershed health, diversity, and the national forest's contribution to vibrant local economies. The entire forum was made available on a streaming live web cast and online participants were able to participate and ask questions of the scientists via the planning ruleblog. We heard diverse viewpoints and we're excited to keep the conversation going.
An interim summary of some of the major themes discussed at the Forum is available now on online. This product shares some highlights of the science and viewpoints offered by Science Forum presenters, attendees and online participants. A more complete summary of the Science Forum will be available in coming weeks. Panelist's presentations are also available on the planning rule Web site, and it is our intent to post video segments from the Science Forum on the planning rule web site in the coming weeks.
Our collaborative process to develop the planning rule is in the early stages. We are continually adding new and broader opportunities to get involved. If you've got ideas, let us know what they are by commenting on our blog. Check our Web site for the latest, or follow the Forest Service on Twitter.
The current schedule of future National and Regional Roundtables can be found here.
Secretary Vilsack addresses attendees of the Science Forum expressing support for a new planning rule.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Hydromorphone belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics, which are medicines used to relieve pain. Dilaudid® is used to relieve pain in patients who require a narcotic pain medication. Dilaudid-HP® is used to relieve moderate-to-severe pain in patients who are opioid-tolerant and who require higher doses of opioid medicine.
Hydromorphone acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. Some of the side effects are also caused by actions in the CNS. When hydromorphone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of hydromorphone injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of hydromorphone injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving hydromorphone injection.
Studies suggest that this medication may alter milk production or composition. If an alternative to this medication is not prescribed, you should monitor the infant for side effects and adequate milk intake.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary.

Dilaudid-HP® injection should only be used by patients who have already been taking narcotic pain medicines, also called opioids. These patients are called opioid-tolerant. If you are uncertain whether or not you are opioid-tolerant, check with your doctor before using this medicine.
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital. This medicine may be given as a shot under the skin, as a shot into one of your muscles, or through a needle placed in one of your veins.
Hydromorphone injection may sometimes be given at home to patients who do not need to be in the hospital. If you are using this medicine at home, your doctor will teach you how to prepare and inject the medicine. Be sure that you understand exactly how the medicine is prepared and injected.
You will be shown the body areas where this shot can be given. Use a different body area each time you give yourself a shot. Keep track of where you give each shot to make sure you rotate body areas.
Use a new needle and syringe each time you inject your medicine.
If the medicine in the vial or ampule has changed color, or if you see particles in it, do not use it.
Use only the brand of this medicine that your doctor prescribed. Different brands may not work the same way.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.

Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
If you store this medicine at home, keep it at room temperature, away from heat and direct light.
Flush all leftover medicine down the toilet after you have finished your treatment. Also, flush old medicine after the expiration date has passed. This medicine is one of only a few medicines that should be disposed of this way.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are receiving this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert) and may cause serious side effects. Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics.

This medicine may make you dizzy, drowsy, confused, or disoriented. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
Using narcotics for a long time can cause severe constipation. To prevent this, your doctor may direct you to take laxatives, drink a lot of fluids, or increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, because continuing constipation can lead to more serious problems.

If you have been using this medicine regularly for several weeks or longer, do not suddenly stop using it without checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, such as abdominal or stomach cramps, anxiety, fever, nausea, runny nose, sweating, tremors, or trouble with sleeping.
Some babies who are born to mothers physically dependent on this medicine will also be physically dependent and may have breathing problems and withdrawal symptoms. This could be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

Steve Furst: Celebrity Squares
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2002
Steve Furst, the man who brought you Lenny Beige, presents 11 brand new characters in a show about the cult of celebrity, directed by Ben Miller.
Original Review:
In Celebrity Squares, Lenny Beige creator Steve Furst has produced a loose format in which to showcase a wide range of new characters.
It's a mixed bag, certainly, but the best of the bunch are truly splendid creations, with enough major personality defects to fill a psychiatric ward.
Henry St Claire, an aristocratic member of a Seventies glitter band fallen on hard times, and Lynn Worrall Thompson, a demented and deluded celebrity stalker, are the most brilliant. Strikingly original, and brilliantly realised, they both have huge potential barely scratched upon here.
Other highlights include a clueless Notting Hill trustafarian; an Egyptian cabbie who taunts Mohammed al Fayed with his British passport; and Waltzer operator Ernie Vaz, who shot to fame in a reality TV show.
It's a mix of live monologues and filmed insets, such as the joyous Kinks-like theme tune, giving Furst time to change between skits.
A couple of the characters are weaker, relying on stereotypes of, for example, modern artists and motivational gurus, rather than entirely fresh characters. And the rock-star magician Odin, though very funny, is a little to close to Spinal Tap for comfort.
Whatever the character, though, the script is dripping with pearls - beautifully evocative turns of phrase, rich in detail and strong in metaphor.
Almost all the new creations are stronger and more three-dimensional than the cheesy lounge singer with whom Furst is so strongly associated, and hopefully this entertaining show marks the start an exciting new chapter in his career.
Older Comments
Colin Ramone - 19/08/2002
A fringe comedy with integrity. Effectively a sketch show with only one person in it. About 20 character monologues in an hour. All acutely observed, supremely well performed and very funny. There's a genuine compassion in this show towards these poor characters, although some, like the rasta public school boy, are just done out of sheer contempt, quite right.

Mobile and Wireless: HP, Dell, Lenovo, Others Pack Tablet Market at IFA 2012
HP introduced three Windows 8 devices at the IFA show, the HP Envy x2, a hybrid PC with an 11.6-inch display; the TouchSmart Ultrabook 4, which features a 24-inch multi-touch high-definition display; and the Spectre XT Touchsmart Ultrabook, a higher-end model with a 15.6-inch display.
Lenovo, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Samsung and others used the kickoff of the IFA 2012 trade show in Berlin, which runs Aug. 31 through Sept. 9, to introduce armloads of new devices. These products, from smartphones to all-in-one PCs, are intended to sustain them through the holiday shopping season and beyond, to help them participate in a tablet market growing more competitive with the upcoming launch of Microsoft Windows 8, and to make an impression on consumers and office workers alike before several big announcements later this year from Apple, whose products have a way of shifting the entire industry. The show's early offerings, a few of which we've collected below, are most notable for featuring a new form factorlaptop-slash-tablets, or hybrids, if you preferthat seek to prevent a user from choosing between the two. Connected, they're said to offer a true laptop user experience, while disconnected they offer the freedom and flexibility of tablets. Whether Android or the most robust Microsoft offering is your cup of tea, the show featured something for everyone (even a splash-proof model).

Last week, the Emery High Spartan baseball team split their games at North Sanpete on Tuesday and then had their doubleheader at Carbon weathered out on Thursday. Emery won the opener in Mt. Pleasant 5-1 and lost the nightcap 10-8. Emery and Carbon will make up their games Monday afternoon at the Carbon field.
Gatlan Huntington pitched the complete game in the opener to get the win. Gatlan gave up three base hits in the game and kept the Hawk batters off balance throughout the game.
Colby Snow led the offensive effort as he hit two triples in the game and scored both times. Both triples came as he led off the inning. Blake Mortensen and Ryne Jones also had two hits apiece in the game. Emery scored the five runs off eight base hits and four North Sanpete errors.
Jones scored in the first inning after he singled and Mortensen doubled him home. Snow led off the second inning with one of his triples and scored on a ground out by Addison Collard.
Emery scored one run apiece in each of the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. In the fifth, Huntington led off with a triple and scored later in the inning. In the sixth, Snow tripled again and scored on a sacrifice bunt by Derrick Allred. In the seventh, Huntington walked, got to second on a ground out by Jones and scored on a Mortensen single.
In the second game of the day, North Sanpete's bats woke up and the Hawks pounded out 13 base hits off of four Emery pitchers. Skyler Jensen opened on the mound and pitched the first three innings giving up five runs and seven hits. Mortensen pitched the fourth inning when the Hawks batted through the line-up and scored three times. Brett Mecham pitched the fifth inning giving up two more runs and Jordan Gee closed out the game on the mound.
Emery scored two runs in the second inning, two more runs in the fifth inning and four more runs in the sixth inning. Emery had seven base hits in the game. Gatlan Huntington had a triple in the game and Jordan Gee and Nevin Jensen hit homeruns in the game.
In the second inning, Brett Mecham got hit by a pitch, Taylor Tanner doubled to score Mecham and Nevin singled to score Tanner. In the fifth inning, Skyler Jorgensen walked and scored on Huntington's triple and Huntington scored on a fielder's choice by Ryne Jones.
In the sixth inning, after two Emery outs, Nevin Jensen hit a homerun, Jorgensen walked, Huntington walked and Jordan Gee homered.
Emery will face Carbon in the doubleheader as both teams, along with Delta are battling for the second place region spot.

Comfortable flat for walking
"I went to Europe and wanted a comfortable shoe, rather than sneakers, to wear with pants and skirts when walking around. This shoe was great. I walked everywhere in them (miles) and did not get any blisters or sores. Can wear with or without socks/nylons."

Traveling shoes
"There's not a lot of structure to this shoe so it's probably not for everyone. For me, they really did feel like the most comfortable pair of slippers but they stand up to a lot of walking. I bought these for a two-week trip to Japan (lots of city walking), and they held up very well. Because they are flats, I definitely felt some calf muscle soreness after a very long day of walking so I was happy to have a few pairs of shoes in rotation. I was looking for something that would be a little dressier but still comfortable and was very happy with this purchase."

Bloomberg and CNBC carry stories today on plans to shut funds and lay off employees at FX Concepts, John Taylor's currency-focused hedge fund which was once the world's largest.
Bloomberg's Joseph Ciolli writesthat the firm's main trading program is down 15% this year, and the firm's assets under management shrunk to $661 million last month from about $12 billion in 2009:
"We are in the process of restructuring — we are closing some funds and we are laying off some people," Robert Savage, the chief strategist at FX Concepts, wrote today in a e-mailed response. "We have lost some big accounts this year. FX as an asset-class business has been difficult this year."
And this from CNBC's Lawrence Delevingne:
One of the 32-year-old firm's last remaining large institutional investors, the San Francisco Employees' Retirement System, voted to redeem its money on Sept. 11, according to Jay Huish, the pension plan's executive director.
"The Board approved reducing its currency overlay program target to zero percent," Huish said in an email to CNBC.com. "There is no intention at this time to redeploy the currency overlay mandate to any new currency managers."
San Francisco had more than $450 million with New York-based FX Concepts, a majority of the $661 million the firm reported managing overall in its latest Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
That redemption may have been fatal.

I read The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson in the fall, but never had the chance to tell you how wonderful it is here, probably because of my WOW! blog tour, the holidays and various other things that deride the best of intentions on a daily basis.
This is literature with a capital "L." A wonderful, old-school Gothic novel, this book firmly places you in Provence — the smells, the sights — by way of exquisite prose, all the while weaving a story worthy of a Bronte. I was so enthralled by this book, I wanted to light a lavender candle for Benedicte and Marthe right after I finished.
English period costume drama set in the gorgeous Highclere Castle with shades of Upstairs, Downstairs — what's not to love? But, Downton Abbey is so much more. It is superb British drama at its finest performed by a stellar cast.
And speaking of clever things, how about Simon Kearns' piece of flash fiction, Fugue No. 2, last Friday? Wasn't it a gorgeous exercise in language? There are a lot more fantastic pieces coming up on Flash Fiction Fridays. Stay tuned.
Well, thanks for learning about some of my new favorites. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with all of the things (and people) you love.
P.S. Thanks so much to Leanne Dyck of The Sweater Curse for generously passing along a Versatile Blogger award. YAY!

Chances are you've heard of many of the scientific laws we're about to mention, along with the geniuses behind them. The question is, can you put the two together?
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
While no one is certain it plunked him on the head, what universal law supposedly came to Isaac Newton after observing a falling apple?
law of universal mass
law of universal gravitation
Although Newton never wrote to confirm it, several of his contemporaries claim he came up with the law of universal gravitation from watching an errant apple fall from a tree.
law of universal heavy fruit
Question 2 of 20
Newton also got some serious street cred with his three laws of motion. Which of these is NOT a law Newton discovered?
An object in motion stays in motion, traveling in a straight line, unless acted upon by an outside force. Likewise, an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
The only way to go is up.
The only way to go is up is pretty catchy, but the remaining law, perhaps best known as an equation, is F = ma, or force equals mass times acceleration.
Question 3 of 20
Last Newton question. He had a long-running feud with which scientist who discovered the law of elasticity?
Dr. Leo Spaceman
Niels Bohr
Robert Hooke
Newton had such a strong dislike to Hooke that he actually had Hooke's portrait removed from the Royal Society.
Question 4 of 20
Speaking of random, what scientist discovered three important scientific laws but also believed that the appearance of a 1604 nova was a sign that Native Americans needed to convert to Christianity?
Edmond Halley
Johannes Kepler
Sure, Kepler discovered several laws of science. But he also was a bit obsessed with religion, which might have something to do with the fact that his mother was once tried as a witch. No kidding.
Edwin Hubble
Question 5 of 20
OK, so Kepler discovered three important laws. Which one did he NOT chance upon?
Planets move in an elliptical orbit, with the sun as one focus.
Humans require both eyes for depth perception.
While the German astronomer did discover that depth perception needed two eyes to work, it's not a law.
A line that connects a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals.
Question 6 of 20
Although there's a woeful lack of female representation in the discovery of scientific laws, which scientist's work (and intriguing death!) inspired Sophie Germain (1776-1831) to become a preeminent mathematician of her time?
Carl Gauss
Archimedes was supposedly killed when a soldier annoyed him by interrupting his study of diagrams that he was drawing in the sand. He is said to have muttered "don't disturb my circles" to prompt the altercation.
Question 7 of 20
Archimedes is well-known for yelling out "Eureka!" upon one of his major discoveries. Which one made him (supposedly) shout the phrase?
buoyancy principle
Although it did lead to calculations of density, it was the buoyancy principle that led to Archimedes' exclamation.
law of density
theory of mass
Question 8 of 20
John Dalton lent his name to "Daltonism," the red-green color blindness he studied (which impaired his own vision). His eponymous law, however, deals with which physical state of matter?
Dalton's law states that each gas in a mixture exerts a pressure as if the other gases were not present; the total pressure of the gases is the sum of the pressures created by each gas in the mixture.
Question 9 of 20
Robert Boyle invented the litmus test to tell acids from bases, which is cool enough. But he also defined Boyle's law. What does it state?
The pressure exerted by a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the volume of the gas. Basically, less volume = greater pressure and vice versa.
Although it would be kind of fantastic to refer to the 10-second rule as "Boyle's law," gas and pressure were more up his alley.
If something tastes sour, it's probably a base.
If you drop some food on the floor, you have 10 seconds to pick it up and eat it before it's considered unsanitary.
Question 10 of 20
These scientists are such overachievers. Which one not only defined the law of viscosity but also came up with the word fluorescence, after the mineral fluorite?
Robert Hooke
Albert Einstein
George Stokes
While George Stokes coined a new word, he also found that frictional force exerted on a sphere moving in a fluid is proportional to the fluid viscosity and the radius and speed of the sphere.
Question 11 of 20
Which scientist with a thirst-quenching name wrote the law that investigated the relationship between the absorbance of a solution and the concentration of dissolved solute?
Gerald Sprite
August Beer
Beer's law does not, in fact, state that one more never hurt anyone.
Sarah Springwater
Question 12 of 20
Mr. Adolf E. Fick stated a law of diffusion: The steeper the concentration gradient, the greater the net flux of material by diffusion. What now-common item did he also create an early iteration of?
contact lenses
nail polish remover
none of the above
This was a tricky one. There were not one but two men named Adolf Fick (they were related) who contributed significantly to science. Adolf Eugen Fick drafted that law we mentioned while his nephew, Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick, is credited with creating the first glass contact lenses, which he tested on rabbits before giving them a go himself.
Question 13 of 20
Sure, we all know Darwin gave us the theory of evolution by way of natural selection. But Darwin wasn't exactly in love with all of the biological world. Which part did he dislike?
Despite his dad's hopes to the contrary, Darwin could never be a doctor, since he couldn't stand the sight of blood.
chunky peanut butter
Question 14 of 20
This mathematician was such a wunderkind that he earned the title "prince of mathematics." He also defined a law in physics that relates to electric field and charge. Who was it?
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Gauss started early, and by 24 had published an integral study of number theory. He went on to establish Gauss' law, among other contributions.
Question 15 of 20
Einstein is known for many different theories and scientific laws. Which one of these is NOT Einstein's work?
general theory of relativity
special theory of relativity
very special theory of relativity
Wouldn't it have been cool if Einstein had developed a third main theory of relativity, but he only released it to his good buddies? Alas, no very special theory of relativity exists (that we know of).
Question 16 of 20
Here's another easy one. What Nobel-prize-winning physicist defined the uncertainty principle?
Albert Einstein
Niels Bohr
Werner Heisenberg
Werner Heisenberg made quite the commotion in the scientific community when he postulated that you can't be entirely certain about a particle's position AND momentum at the same time.
Question 17 of 20
This scientist's name conjures up images of space. He also has a law AND a telescope named after him.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Stephen Hawking
Edwin Hubble
Edwin Hubble -- who has a ridiculously cool space telescope named after him -- defined the law of cosmic expansion, aka Hubble's law.
Question 18 of 20
Daniel Bernoulli wrote his dissertation about the mechanics of breathing. Later on he developed his famous eponymous principle. What does it deal with?
fluid dynamics
That one was a gimme. Bernoulli turned to fluid dynamics after getting a firm grasp on the ins and outs of air. His principle often comes up when the topic of lift, um, arises.
stink bugs
Question 19 of 20
The mathematician who defined the law of refraction also lent his name to another term, which describes the angle where a fish can see a person on the bank. (The phenomenon is determined by refraction). Who's the mathematician?
Isaac Newton
Srinivasa Ramanujan
Willebrord Snell
Indeed, stay out of Snell's window when you're trying to land a trout; you'll scare away your supper.
Question 20 of 20
Amedeo Avogadro defined a blessedly simple law that said what?
Equal volumes of any two gas contain the same numbers of molecules (assuming the same temperature and pressure, of course).
Although his gaseous law was pretty simple, Avogadro also gave us "Avogadro's number," which is the number of particles (e.g., atoms, molecules) found in 1 mole of an element.
Anything that can go wrong will.
The number of breaths you take is in direct proportion to how alive you are.

It took me no more than one second to make the purchase decision: I want this sandal!
Well, it was literally impulsive shopping, because I went to the mall for a movie, not for shopping. But, impulsive shopping is kind of like falling in love at first sight, when you see it, you know for sure that's what you want, without any reason.
It is often said that female have a higher tendency to impulsive purchase than male, I'm not quite sure about that theory, but I'm certain I can come up some very good excuses to justify this impulsive purchase. :P
Last weekend, it was a hot toasty day, with the high exceeding 90 °F (more than 32 °C), we went out for an Art Festival held in downtown Tempe. I'm not quite an art person per se, but actually enjoyed the event much more than I expected.
When we were heading down toward the heart of downtown Tempe, there we saw the Gordon Biersch located in a two-story New Orleans style building. Later on that day, we enjoyed our afternoon meal there on the semicircular balcony.
At the main intersection, there was this girl walking on stilts with her bird (I guess was a phoenix) entertaining people. But when she suddenly attacked me with the bird's bamboo-made beak, I was really freaked out…lol
I like this booth, selling a lot of cute artwork made by iron and bronze, my favorite is the little samurai guy…
Actually where the festival was held is walking distance to many major sites, including Sun Devil Stadium, Arizona State University (ASU), and Tempe City Hall…
Sun Devil Stadium down the street
One of the ASU buildings
Tempe City Hall
On the hill behind the city hall, there is a big yellow "A"…
Maybe because of the whole art atmosphere, I started to think this weird tree was kind of artistic as well…lol
It was getting hotter and hotter, so we went inside this building for a rest… on the second floor, there is a sports bar… standing at the stairwell, it almost felt like an oasis…
There are also many musicians playing live music. There was a Native American guy playing flute, truly touching… I ended up buying one of his CD… that was indeed impulsive shopping...
A lot of funny signs… my favorite one is the one on top right saying:
"Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again!" No mercy at all…lol
There is a store selling tin boxes with nostalgic Chinese paintings and funny phrases…
If you don't want to be surrounded by the seven seemingly innocent dwarfs, make sure you have enough supply…haha
Having beer at Gordon Biersch's balcony… they are known for their home brewed beer… if you don't know which beer you wanna choose, you can try their sampler…
After being brain-washed by the Art Festival for an entire day and with a little bit kick of the beer, it was no surprise that I was drawn to this pair of sophisticated sandals. ;)
In fact, it's not just sandal, it was a piece of artwork that I bought as a souvenir for the memory of that special art-eventful day. I actually really like the simple design and black/white color tone.
How was my excuse? Does it sound pretty decent to you? :P

I think this section is a great idea, hope it sticks around
music is apart of our lives whether we want it or not, my vote is to keep this section.

Peca Vs. Bouwmeester
Jonathan Willis
September 30 2010 11:04PM
Mike Peca's critical comments regarding Jay Bouwmeester have generated quite a bit of fuss, with the Flames organization standing behind Bouwmeester, and media people standing beside Peca's right to give his opinion.
On the serious points, I'm largely in agreement with Kent Wilson: it's a tempest in a teapot, without Ken King's comments it would already be a dead story, Peca has the right to speak his mind, and this is the kind of commentary is the sort of thing that should be encouraged in general.
As for whether Peca's comments were correct or not, I think he was partly right and partly wrong. Peca essentially made two points: the first, that Bouwmeester is easy to play against, and the second, that Bouwmeester isn't really a high-end power play quarterback.
On the first point, I don't see much evidence that Peca is correct. Certainly Peca's numbers never benefitted from playing against Bouwmeester: in 11 games against Florida during Bouwmeester's time there, Peca scored one goal, added four assists and finished with an even rating. Taking the totals he posted during those seasons and weighting them relative to games played per season, we would have expected two goals, four assists and a plus-1 rating. Bouwmeester routinely plays top opponents, and routinely puts up strong results. As for the charge of being casual, Bouwmeester blocks over 100 pucks every single season (he led the Flames with 126 blocked shots last season) and I have trouble reconciling the notion of putting one's body in front of a shot with the notion of a casual approach to the game.
On the other hand, Peca's point about Bouwmeester's power play ability does strike me as accurate. Certainly it looks true based on last season, where Bouwmeester finished third of three Flames defencemen in points/60 during 5-on-4 play. In 2008-09, he finished second of a group of five Panthers' defencemen in the same category. In 2007-08, when Florida finished with the sixth-best power play in the NHL, Bouwmeester ranked 39th in 5-on-4 points/60 among NHL defencemen to average more than 2:00 per night – right between Dan Hamhuis and Brad Stuart. Certainly, Bouwmeester's a capable power play defenceman, but he's nowhere near the top of an objective list of quarterbacks.
The good news is that the Sutters have been experimenting with Jaybo where he belongs: in the slot.
A lot of his offensive talent comes from, a little ironically, finding a way down to the slot area on the PP. He'll creep down, take a nice pass, and, often enough, he'll finish them that close. One of his 3 goals last year was of this variety. Certainly those are tiny numbers but 33% isn't crazy; that's his M.O.
With Jokinen finally back on the point - where he' been successful in the past - and Tanguay around, I'm optimistic our top guys can have a good year. In particular I think we can enjoy a resurgence on the powerplay.
Hopefully the they don't pull the plug on these tweaks too soon.
I meant one of his three goals was, at least originally, brought about by creeping down to the slot area. It was more like the crease area on that one but the idea's the same
Sigh... on Peca-gate:
This is one those situations, a situation where Peca is right & wrong depending entirely on ones definitions.
Peca is Right: Jay Bouwmeester isn't very hard to play against. Bouwmeester is many things but one thing he is not is a physical defenseman (See: Phaneaf, Dion) that's not to say he shys away from contact but you won't see him dishing out bone-rattling hits.
Peca is Wrong: Jay Bouwmeester is hard to play against. He is positionally sound and has active stick work (See: Lidstrom, Nicklas) and with his excellent passing and skating skills is able to relieve/reverse pressure quickly. And as mentioned above he is willing to block an impressive number of shots.
Peca is Right: Jay Bouwmeester is not a good PP Quarterback. He has Ho-hum point totals during 5-4 play and doesn't have a point shot that packs a whallop.
Peca is Wrong: Jay Bouwmeester is a good PP Quaterback. He is smart enough to make responsible foreys deep into the opposition zone and can distribute the puck with supieror skill. Any failing in point accruel are due to his teammates inability to cash in on the situations that he creates
See it all comes down to what attributes one considers essential to the position. My own personal opinion is close to the author, JBouw is a difficult defenseman to play against in the mould of a Lidstrom type d-man. He isn't the best choice to play the point on the PP thou. Thankfully, from what we've seen of the preseason so far the Powers That Be realize this by having Jokinen and Kotalik play the point where their heavy shots are most valuable and using JBouw as the screener. That suits me as a good set-up since JBouw isn't a small guy (Blocks Goalies View) and with his excellent skating skills he can quickly get back if the puck is cleared. I think it's a role he could do well in.
One comment that I though was wierd was when Peca said "He turns over the Puck a lot" I've never found that Bouwmeester turns over the puck at a rate worse then other d-men. I strongly suspect he was just being sensationalistic since he did do a bad turnover earlier that specific game.
October 01 2010, 09:34AM
It's possible that Bouwmeester turns the puck over at a decent enough rate to be noticed...but that's mostly because Bouwmeester has been facing some of the toughest opponents in the league for years and starting from his own end a majority of the time. Almost anyone would be noticeably turning pucks over in that circumstance.
October 01 2010, 11:20AM
@Kent Wilson
and logs close to 30 minutes of ice time a game.
October 01 2010, 11:55AM
Based upon observations of last years performance, Peca's comments were not too far off the mark IMO.
