Chief, Orthopaedic Service; Stephen McDermott Chair in Surgery
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I have decades of experience diagnosing and treating sarcomas and benign tumors of the bones and soft tissue. I am an expert in surgery to remove tumors while preserving limbs, and I rebuild functional bones and joints with joint replacements and bone transplants. I am proud to be part of a team with a missionary zeal to treat people with cancer and to help them continue to have productive lives.
I also have a special interest in treating children who have bone cancers (osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma). As we continue to make progress in curing these cancers, it becomes even more important to be able to reconstruct limbs to provide patients with optimal long-term function. While our goal is always to cure the cancer, we strive to understand each patient's activities and help them achieve their individual goals while maintaining hope for the future.
My research involves understanding the molecular biology of sarcoma, developing new ways to deliver chemotherapy to tumors, and improving the durability and function of joint replacements. I have invented and developed four different joint replacement systems and have patented several methods to deliver drugs to tumors and to study cancers in the laboratory.
In addition to my role as Chief of the Orthopaedic Service at Memorial Soan-Kettering, I am a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College. Nationally, I have served as Chair of the Children's Oncology Group Orthopaedics Section, as President of the International Society of Limb Salvage, President of the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons, and on the boards of several musculoskeletal and orthopaedic organizations. I am an advisor to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
Education is an important part of my role as well. I have served as Vice Chair of Conferences and Education for the Department of Surgery. I directed the Orthopaedics Fellowship Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering for 20 years, and am proud to have trained the leading specialists in this field in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Most importantly, I educate my patients about their disease and how we will respond creatively and effectively to meet their needs.

This is as good a compilation of the corrupt MSP in the Washinton corrider. But some of us in fly-over country are starting to catch on...finally.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary)
I got a great laugh out of this Chuck Todd near meltdown on Meet the Depressed the other day. His voice quivered in moral outrage over Jack Welch suggesting something was up with the unemployment numbers last Friday. Chuck Todd proclaimed, What were doing, were corroding trust in our government in a way, and one time responsible people are doing to control it. And the idea that Donald Trump and Jack Welch, rich people with crazy conspiracy, can get traction on this, is a bad trend.
He really does not get it. Chuck Todd reflects most of the media not getting it. As ratings decline, newspaper fold, and they all scream about how biased Fox News is, they do not get it.
Neil King is a political reporter for the Wall Street Journal. He is married to Shailagh Murray who left a reporting job at the Washington Post to take the job of Joe Bidens communications director. She replaced Jay Carney who moved to the White House and who himself left Time to take the communications director role for Biden.
John Harris of the Politico is married to an abortion rights activist who used to run NARAL Virginia.
The Politicos Chief Washington Correspondent, Jonathan Allen, left the Politico to work for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, then returned to the Politico.
Andy Barr of the Politico left the Politico to work for the Democratic National Committee and now works for Richard Carmona, the Democrats candidate for Senate in Arizona against Jeff Flake.
George Stephanopolous of ABC News used to be a strategist for Bill Clinton and even after becoming Chief Washington Correspondent still engaged in regular conversations with Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, and Paul Begala from the Clinton days. (Ironic, isnt it, that John Harris wrote that story)
Michael Scherer of Time, where Jay Carney left to go to Joe Bidens office, got his start in left wing publications, as did Ezra Klein of the Washington Post who famously created the left wing Journolist filled with Washington journalists and pundits to bounce around themes in the left wing echo chamber.
Linda Douglass of ABC News left ABC to serve as Chief Propaganda Officer for the Obama White House in charge of getting Obamacare through.
Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times made up the story about President George H. W. Bush being surprised and taken aback by a common supermarket check out scanner. The story was made up by Rosenthal who was not even present. Andrew Rosenthal is now the Editor of the New York Times Editorial Page.
The BuzzFeed crew are mostly left of center, hang out with left of center reporters and pundits, and the media considers them and their cat GIFs the second coming of a supposedly objective Huffington Post.
Chuck Todd himself is married to a former DNC staffer and he worked as a Democratic staffer to Senator Tom Harkin. He works with Chris Matthews who worked for a Democrat in Congress and Jimmy Carter. They both work with Andrea Mitchell who is married to Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve. And theyre all just a degree or two removed from Tawana Brawley thanks to their relationship with MSNBC host Al Sharpton.
In other words, Chuck, it is you and your colleagues in the New York-Washington media corridor who are corroding trust not by covering what Jack Welch and Donald Trump say, but merely by reporting as you do on the issues you cover or are not covering. The American public has grown cynical and tired of a left-leaning media establishment that refuses to acknowledge its own liberalism and that has become insular and removed from the affairs of Americans across the country. The media establishment relates to people who live within 25 miles of the Atlantic or Pacific and relates poorly to people who live within 50 miles of American river valleys other than the Hudson.
[This post has been up for an hour and I have to say I feel a bit bad as people are taking it as me really slamming Chuck Todd. While focusing on Chuck's comments, I think he is but one example of the Gang of 500 what Mark Halperin calls the political press and pundits who drive and set the conventional wisdom and the vast majority of the reporters in the DC-NYC corridor have the same lament and concerns and they are all so badly disconnected from the reality of the situation]
The only major news network that seems to understand and report on issues people who live near river valleys cares about is Fox News. But the media would rather wash their hands of Fox and claim them a conservative organization that recognize that most major media outlets dont know jack about what happens around the Mississippi River, Missouri River, Red River, Tennessee River, Ohio River, and the rest of the prominent river valleys in the country. Flip on any major news network other than Fox and youll be greeted by reports heralding gay marriage, an issue that has failed repeatedly in more than half the states, a generally liberal social world view, Washington compromising jacking up the national debt, and unquestioning acceptance that a poorly produced video on the internet caused our American Ambassador in Libya to die. Youll probably even get some poo-pooing about excesses of the First Amendment with regards to Coptic Christians and Citizens United, but rarely about pornography or the press itself.
Compounding the problem is a bipartisan Washington establishment that has likewise grown insular, only going home to campaign. These Republican and Democratic politicos and members of the press are sometimes married, sometimes having affairs, often times at cocktail parties together, and over time think more and more alike.
Consider this Im willing to bet that Chuck Todd thinks Jim DeMint, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and the like are fire breathers. Like many other members of the media, Chuck & Co. lament the loss of people like Richard Lugar, Robert Bennett, Evan Bayh, Olympia Snowe, etc. Those Senators reached across the aisle. But in reaching across the aisle, they made the American public reach around and grab their wallets. They and their wonderful bipartisan compromises drove us to $16 trillion in debt. The guys who fight the compromises and fight the debt increases are routinely the villains and the press frequently ignores their heroes are the ones getting us in the messes. But they are adults and grown ups and mature.
While Chuck and the rest of the press lament the national debt, they refuse to hold accountable the bipartisan compromisers who voted on the measures that got us to $16 trillion in debt.
When Chuck Todd laments the corrosion of trust in government, what he is really lamenting is that the American people have caught on to the way the game is played and the public now realizes just how complicit the media is. Compounding that, the public largely now realizes just how in bed sometimes literally the press is with members of the Obama Administration. There is a revolving door between liberal organizations and the mainstream press. For every one Republican who may become an objective member of the press, there are many more
Democrats who do the same. Further, for all the Republicans who do it, there are many more liberal than conservative Republicans who do it.
The press is full of herd mentality, group think, and incestuous relationship with power and politics. The press also lacks a lot of self-reflection and accountability. What self-reflection is done is often subsequently ignored.
What Chuck Todd lamented, with his voice quivering, is that the media has failed. They are no longer reporters and watch dogs. They are regurgitators and lap dogs and fewer and fewer Americans believe them. He can be outraged at supposed crazy conspiracies, but it is the actions of the American political press and their relationships within the corridors of Washington that made it possible.
No one trusts the media and that is the medias own fault. No one trusts government any more and the media is complicit in that by failing to be the objective press it pretends to be.

The health and welfare of the animals being transported are of primary concern to the SAVC. The SAVC, therefore encourages members of the profession to strictly apply and constantly seek to improve these standards of animal health and welfare. Should any of these standards not be adhered to or compromised, veterinarians are encouraged to not sign any certification that would allow the release of these animals to be transported.

John, Thanks for your comments! Not sure if I would consider this HDR, I only did one pass, no bracketing on this shot. I have looked at your site and will send you a personal message there. David
Hi David from John Nichols at the John Nichols Gallery.com in Santa Paula. I'm glad to learn that the new model can take HDR Gigapans. I have trouble in Photoshop with any file over 2 gigs. They won't open. Do you have to deal with that with three sets of files? I use Photomatix as my HDR program. Hope to meet you in person some day.

Hey Simulcast.
Once again greetings from southern Europe.
Just following up on my last mail regarding the Gnote.
Sorry if I'm a bit long winded here but I am that way 🙂
I'm now pretty much settled on the Gnote, and writing to see if you'll shoot me down on my arguments for it.
It's good to see the general public is warning up to it, noting that even Micky and Joey over at The Cellphone Junkie think positive of it.
Most positive comments say that it's actually not as big as it sounds.
Me, I'm opposite and get absolutely amazed at just how big it is in actual life.
In some ways it's not that it is a great sized phone but rather an (almost) perfect sized portable tablet.
I've long thought that 6 inches is the ideal size for a portable one, and 13 is the perfect size for the the lab or table at home.
Next is the battery, which seems closely linked to size.
It's original is 2500mAh which ain't all that bad, but all over ebay you find double sized ones with capacities all the way up to 5200mAh.
At 5200mAh you can basically keep this thing on from dusk till dawn (great movie by the way).
And since it'll power an external 1.8 inch pocket drive I can pretty much have all the media with me as I can consume :-p
Secondarily it can charge my bluetooth headset on the go, and about once a month that ability will come in real handy.
Last there is the storage.
It's internal 16gig can be augmented with sdcards, external flash drives and even the aforementioned pocket drive.
My though is to keep the internal storage free for torrent downloading and the sdcard I'll fill with music, music videos and audio and Ebooks.
The extended battery backs can be found with kickstand which is more than a little cool, though at roughly 7 ounces I don't see many complain about holding this in their hand for extended periods of time.
I've been going on for quite long but at least your podcast doesn't have time limits, though your patience might…
As for coming on the podcast I'd have to get over my stage fright and it'd probably be difficult to do without waking my 10 month old daughter.
Your recording time translates into 5am. locally.
Also I hope you don't think that I was putting down the verge as a site.
They are pretty smart guys, yes.
And they have exceptional sources.
But on the vergecast they seem nearly obsessed with being heard, rather than actually talking with their listeners.
This week they did tone it down greatly, and I may be proven wrong altogether.
I have been a fan of Dieter and Chris over at the verge mobile since before their verge days.
Have I been doing something wrong, or do you know why beyondpod won't accept the boomexplode podcast rss?
Thanks for your patience (unless it ran out 5 hours ago) and keep up the good work. Arne, Cyprus
PS: don't believe the pictures of Cyprus you commented on. They are promotional worthy of Apple.

The Penn State defenders walk past a football attached to a spring as they enter team meetings.
Each one is supposed to punch it, swipe at it and pull on it.
Itís a physical reminder as well as a subconscious one. This is their goal on Saturdays, their every-play routine. This should become their trademark.
It is a simple ploy by new defensive coordinator Ted Roof, one already being talked about and embraced among the unitís leaders, including linebacker Mike Mauti.
And the logic seems to be working.
As the Nittany Lions prepare to face the Temple Owls in Beaver Stadium on Saturday, they are in the midst of a short but noteworthy outbreak of forced turnovers.
They have produced a combined eight interceptions and fumbles in back-to-back games.
Itís as if the Lions, hungry and frustrated, have been turned loose.
ìWe work on tip drills, interception drills, strip drills, strip sack drills,î head coach Bill OíBrien said. ìWeíve been really fortunate our players have done a really great job of going out .§.§. and taking the drill work to the game field, which is fun to see.
ìItís really a matter of effort, and these guys are giving fantastic effort.î
And no one symbolizes that energy and effort on defense more than Mauti.
The senior talks of playing as if his hair is on fire.
So this is what a Temple team heavily reliant on running the football will meet head-on.
Last year, it was Mautiís most timely interception and all-around fiery play that help save the day against the Owls.
When asked about his impact now, OíBrien said he thinks of him like most no other player.
ìHeís just a fantastic guy. Heís a guy who Iíll keep in touch with the rest of my life,î OíBrien said. ìJust watching him play, boy, you wish you could have played that way. He just plays every play like itís his last .§.§î
That leads to Saturday, where coach Steve Addazioís Owls are not nearly as experienced or proven as last year. They are banged up on the offensive line and havenít proven to be adept at throwing the ball yet, to any degree.
So unless they dramatically change course, the Owls will do what they have done best so far: run the football.
Indeed, that would seemingly play into Penn Stateís strength, which is its talented and tested front seven.
Itís a group that figures to keep improving with the continued development of massive tackle DaQuan Jones and those two energetic cubs on the edge, Deion Barnes and Anthony Zettel.
Meanwhile, balance is still the searching point on the other side of the ball.
While the passing game continues to grow behind the stunningly productive Matt McGloin-to-Allen Robinson connection and half-dozen capable tight ends, the running game is plodding and disjointed.
McGloin, at turns praised and castigated in his three-year career, leads the Big Ten in TD passes. Robinson, a crisp route runner with smooth, athletic moves after the catch, has been a revelation.
Last year, McGloin rotated time at quarterback. Robinson had as many touchdown catches vs. Navy (three) last week as he had receptions all of last year.
ìHe definitely should have played more last year,î McGloin said. ìHe works his tail off. I think the coaches last year didnít give him the opportunity he deserved. I saw it in him last year.
ìHeís going to be one of the best wideouts this place has seen in a long time.î
And so McGloin, with some help from his receivers, may have to decide things Saturday with his arm. He credits OíBrien and assistant coach Charlie Fisher for who heís become.
ìWithout him I wouldnít be half the quarterback I am today. He and coach Fisher have really brought me a long way.î
The journey continues Saturday against those Owls who just canít find a way to win this matchup, no matter what they do, how well they play or how close they come at the end.
The Lions contend that is not a distraction. They will focus on creating more turnovers and igniting their running game and, in the process, continue pushing ahead however they can.
ìEach week is just as important as the next because really, thatís all we have,î senior running back Mike Zordich said. ìWe want a winning record, not just for us and what weíve done, but the future of the program.
ìWe want to win games to get people to want to come here. Thatís how we look at it. Weíre trying to help Coach (OíBrien) out as much as possible.î ê

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
The Rebels held Missouri off the scoreboard for the first 61⁄2 minutes on the way to a 64-49 win over the nation's 10th-ranked team before a sellout crowd at Tad Smith Coliseum on Saturday night.
The confidence-building victory has Ole Miss 2-0 in SEC play for the first time in seven years. Senior forward Murphy Holloway led the way with 22 points and eight rebounds.
The Rebels set the table for the week on Wednesday with a 92-74 win at Tennessee behind 32 points from junior college transfer guard Marshall Henderson, the SEC's leading scorer.
Looking ahead
The Rebels are back on the SEC road against Vanderbilt on Tuesday 8 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPNU. They return home Saturday for a 12:30 p.m. SEC Network televised game against Arkansas.
Who's hot
Holloway was just two rebounds shy of a double-double against Missouri and leads the SEC with eight double-doubles.
Who's not
Sophomore guard LaDarius White, a recent addition to the starting lineup, had just four points and was 0-for-3 from 3-point range in 20 minutes against Missouri. White also had three turnovers.
RPI watch
The Rebels were languishing in the mid-60s before the Tennessee game, but the two wins have them at 45 going into the second week of conference play.
Bottom Line
The Missouri win was the fifth straight for Ole Miss, and the Rebels are playing with growing confidence right now. The SEC is down, and it's important for this team to take advantage of resume-building opportunities when they come around.
The Rebels – in search of their first NCAA tournament bid since 2002 – did that this week and must continue to do that home and away beginning with Vanderbilt in Nashville this week.

However, somehow I happen to be one of those extremely rare types who gushes over sleek, sexy cocktail dresses, dies for that perfectly embellished belt, and all the rest… but rarely if ever actually buys anything. I have my Dad to thank for that. That's called genetic code, and my Dad invented the "save your money" chromosome (or whatever; I wasn't a biology major). He isn't cheap, not at all, but he DOES NOT BELIEVE IN DISCRETIONARY INCOME. Some of you may be thinking this is a good trait; that I'm lucky. You think I'm lucky to be a born saver? Tell that to my wardrobe. Tell that to my three pairs of shoes. Tell that to my "Winner" Brand black sneakers I got in 7th grade, because my Dad didn't "understand why you need the Nike ones? These are just as good." Yeah, you know who you can tell that to? Each and every member of my 7th grade French class. Because they all had a lot to say about those kicks and it didn't have anything to do with how right my dad was.
As an aside, I learned something from my brand-less K-12 existence: when I have children, I will teach them to be good people, and I will not spoil the crap out of them. But I WILL give them name brand clothing if they ask for it. You may consider that a bad idea, but a little less suffering in those formative years never hurt anybody. *The more you know.*
I digress… back to fashion love. Sometimes… there comes along an accessory. An accessory that reduces all other accessories to cheap whores, and makes me click "buy" without hesitation. (Ok, without much hesitation.) This accessory would need to be the perfect combination of absolute cuteness, real necessity and bang for your buck. Enter: the belts and dresses within this post. OMG.
See that belt up at the tippity top of this post? That's Ruche's wrap around a rose belt in swiss coffee, and it's only $19.99. I KNOW. Here's another shot of it:
I am obsessed with that belt, and even more with the ones that follow. Any one of these is THE PERFECT ACCESSORY to add that extra bit of awesome to your little e-shoot sundress or wedding gown or what have you. I'm always thinking about what will result in the best possible photos, and belts knock 'em out of the park, without fail, my friends. Anthro dresses have never done me wrong, either. Here we go with the rest of my picks:
These belts restore my love for frilly floweryness. (Not that it ever really left me, but I get fed up easily with frilly floweryness. Only so much one can take.)
ruffles and frays flower belt in smokey gray $13.99
ruffles and frays flower belt in rosey pink ~ $13.99
symmetrically pleased belt in pure ivory white ~ $19.99
And my toes are really chilly right now because these two dresses from Anthro are knocking my socks clean off my feet. I love them soooooo much.
Sure Lock Dress ~ $128
Camilla Dress ~ $138
Do you love, or do you love?
* * *
By the way, yesterday was my Dad's birthday. Which means my present to him is complaining about a specific childhood experience to the world, one that completely goes against the incredible father he is to me. Aren't I just the greatest daughter?!
Dad: I love you, man. You are terrific… so terrific that it makes me tear up when I think about just how terrific. That's pretty terrific. Happy birthday, Popsicle.

The New Yorker's Malcolm Gladwell argues that Twitter and Facebook are less-than-promising tools for political revolution, regardless of hype.
At four-thirty in the afternoon on Monday, February 1, 1960, four college students sat down at the lunch counter at the Woolworth's in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. They were freshmen at North Carolina A. & T., a black college a mile or so away.
"I'd like a cup of coffee, please," one of the four, Ezell Blair, said to the waitress.
"We don't serve Negroes here," she replied.
The Woolworth's lunch counter was a long L-shaped bar that could seat sixty-six people, with a standup snack bar at one end. The seats were for whites. The snack bar was for blacks. Another employee, a black woman who worked at the steam table, approached the students and tried to warn them away. "You're acting stupid, ignorant!" she said. They didn't move. Around five-thirty, the front doors to the store were locked. The four still didn't move. Finally, they left by a side door. Outside, a small crowd had gathered, including a photographer from the Greensboro Record. "I'll be back tomorrow with A. & T. College," one of the students said.
By next morning, the protest had grown to twenty-seven men and four women, most from the same dormitory as the original four. The men were dressed in suits and ties. The students had brought their schoolwork, and studied as they sat at the counter. On Wednesday, students from Greensboro's "Negro" secondary school, Dudley High, joined in, and the number of protesters swelled to eighty. By Thursday, the protesters numbered three hundred, including three white women, from the Greensboro campus of the University of North Carolina. By Saturday, the sit-in had reached six hundred. People spilled out onto the street. White teen-agers waved Confederate flags. Someone threw a firecracker. At noon, the A. & T. football team arrived. "Here comes the wrecking crew," one of the white students shouted.
By the following Monday, sit-ins had spread to Winston-Salem, twenty-five miles away, and Durham, fifty miles away. The day after that, students at Fayetteville State Teachers College and at Johnson C. Smith College, in Charlotte, joined in, followed on Wednesday by students at St. Augustine's College and Shaw University, in Raleigh. On Thursday and Friday, the protest crossed state lines, surfacing in Hampton and Portsmouth, Virginia, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and in Chattanooga, Tennessee. By the end of the month, there were sit-ins throughout the South, as far west as Texas. "I asked every student I met what the first day of the sitdowns had been like on his campus," the political theorist Michael Walzer wrote in Dissent. "The answer was always the same: 'It was like a fever. Everyone wanted to go.' " Some seventy thousand students eventually took part. Thousands were arrested and untold thousands more radicalized. These events in the early sixties became a civil-rights war that engulfed the South for the rest of the decade—and it happened without e-mail, texting, Facebook, or Twitter.

Solaris DTrace, An Introduction
By Satyajit Tripathi on Jul 27, 2009
As a lead performance engineer with wide exposure to multiple applications in various industry domains, and working on Solaris10 platform for years. I believe, SolarisTM DTrace is one of the coolest innovations that could have ever happened in the Operating System world. DTrace was designed and implemented at Sun Microsystems by Bryan Cantrill, Adam Leventhal and Mike Shapiro.
DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework created for troubleshooting kernel and application problems on production systems in real time. DTrace was developed for Solaris and released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). Other OS communities, after realizing the high potential and worthiness, have initiated projects to make DTrace available on respective operating systems.
DTrace can be used to get a global overview of a running system, such as the amount of memory, CPU time, filesystem and network resources used by the active processes. It can also provide much more fine-grained information, such as a log of the arguments with which a specific function is being called, or a list of the processes accessing a specific file. DTrace is Programmable, Flexible, Robust, Safe and Easy-to-Learn-and-Use. Possibilities are Endless !

An unavoidable formula at academic medical centers today goes something like this: a burgeoning enterprise + limited space = a major parking challenge. That challenge at the University of Mississippi Medical Center officially begins July 14.
To make way for the Translational Research Center, Parking Garage C, a new School of Medicine building and other projects at UMMC, as many as 650 employees who have assigned parking spaces on campus will be required to relocate their vehicles to other lots or to Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
While the UMMC Parking Committee, in coordination with Physical Facilities, has been working for months to mitigate the impact these projects will have on campus parkers, the fact remains that the path to a promising future is rarely convenient in the present.
"There's really not a single person on campus that will not be impacted by this construction in some form or fashion," said Dr. James E. Keeton, vice chancellor for health affairs. "Even if you're not being affected by the parking relocation, you're still going to be affected by different traffic patterns or more traffic at the stadium.
"What we need to keep in mind are all the great things that will happen. This is progress. This is growth. This is good for each of us as individuals, and it's good for the university.
"The short-range pain will be worth it in the long run."
The multidisciplinary parking committee, which consists of representatives from virtually every major department at the Medical Center, has developed a plan that will help those who are being displaced from their usual on-campus spaces transition to new parking accommodations.
It is an effort that is as meticulous as it is complex.
During the first phase, construction of the eight-story Translational Research Center, which will be located just northwest of the Arthur C. Guyton Research Center, will claim Lots 3 and 3A. In addition, state requirements for the preparation of Parking Garage C construction just east of the School of Dentistry building will claim Lot 35. In all, 423 parking spaces will have to be relocated by Monday, July 14.
Construction of the School of Medicine building – which will anchor the Medical Center's educational district – and Parking Garage C, the widening of East University Drive from south of Central University Avenue to the Woodrow Wilson frontage road, and the building of the Meridian at Fondren complex – a mixed-use facility across Lakeland Drive from the main campus – are among the projects scheduled to impact surface lots beginning in January 2015.
These projects will claim up to 350 additional parking spaces, including the Verner Holmes Learning Resource Center Lot 19 and Lots 22, 25 and 28 on Lakeland Drive.
To accommodate those relocated from campus parking during phase two construction, additional lots surrounding Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium will be made available.
Lot C, the horseshoe-shaped lot adjacent to the northwest side of the stadium, will provide parallel parking, while Lot D, a crescent-shaped area on the West Street side of the stadium, will be made available. The two lots combine to offer 240 spaces. An unimproved parking area on the eastern side of the Medical Towers Building also will be made available for parking.
The Parking Policy, adopted by the committee in 2012, outlines the method by which available spaces on the Medical Center campus are to be allocated.
The policy stipulates that all UMMC employees are to be assigned to one of five hierarchical groups – Group A for administrative and academic officers, Group B for department chairs, Group C for faculty, Group D for directors and administrators and Group E for staff. Students are not included in the parking hierarchy, although residents are assigned to Parking Garages A or B because of their unique role in the institution. Within each group, individuals are ranked according to their continuous service to the institution.
Therefore, an individual in Group B would receive priority in campus parking over an individual in Group D, for example, or an individual in Group E with 23 years of service would receive priority over another individual in Group E with eight years of service, and so forth.
According to Michael Switzer, associate director of energy management and sustainability, the Parking Policy represents the "governing instrument" for the committee in determining which individuals will retain a parking space on campus and which will be relocated to stadium parking because of construction.
"We're bringing everyone into the hierarchy, reordering each of the five groups and redistributing the parking accordingly," Switzer said. "Going forward, whatever campus parking availability we have will be distributed fairly."
"The committee is doing its very best to manage the wording and the intent of the policy," said Michael Estes, chief human resources officer. "We are trying to stay true to that."
UMMC's Parking Policy is available online at (http://bit.ly/1rQ2vBK).
Those who do park on campus pay a monthly premium of approximately $30 for a surface lot space or $78 for a parking garage space. Parking for all stadium lots is free for UMMC employees, students, patients and visitors. Automatic parking charges will no longer be deducted from the paychecks of on-campus parkers who move to stadium parking.
"The Medical Center pays Jackson State University $600,000 a year to lease that space at the stadium," said Ivory Bogan, executive director of facilities management. "We are also responsible for maintaining the fenced-in areas, including the overflow lot – but not the roads."
Most employees displaced from their usual campus parking spaces during phase one construction will be relocated to the stadium. Others whose on-campus parking assignments aren't directly affected by construction may be reassigned to the stadium anyway to make room for relocated parkers with more seniority or greater rank in the hierarchy.
Burney said individuals who retain a campus parking space during phase one construction may still have to move to the stadium when phase two begins.
"There may be people with more seniority that may bump them to the stadium," Burney said, "but I don't think there's anybody that will have to be moved more than twice."
Physical Facilities has prepared for the influx of additional parkers at the stadium by adding two shuttle buses during peak traffic times and restriping spaces near the covered shuttle stops for additional disabled parking.
"We've added the shuttles to accommodate not only disabled parkers, but employees being moved to the stadium," Bogan said. "Our peak times are from 6-9:30 a.m. and from 2:30-6 p.m.
"We usually run five shuttles; this will be seven – two for the Gold Line and the rest for the Blue and Red Lines."
Gold Line shuttles service the School of Health Related Professions and the Norman C. Nelson Student Union; Red Line shuttles service the School of Nursing; and Blue Line shuttles service the main campus. All are disability accessible and two are wheelchair accessible.
To help ease traffic congestion entering and exiting the stadium on North State Street – especially during peak traffic times – individuals approaching the stadium from the west should consider using the West Street entrance (Click for diagram).
According to Estes, the Medical Center is required to have a certain number of disability-designated spaces based on a formula set by law.
"A certain number of those spots have to be placed where wheelchair access is reasonably provided," Estes said, "and the spaces must be located near a sheltered area."
Only vehicles authorized to do so by state law will be permitted to park in the disabled parking spaces.
Bogan said once phase two parking relocations have been implemented, Physical Facilities will issue upgraded parking decals to individuals who qualify for on-campus parking.
Arty Girod, director of police and logistical services, said the plan is to add additional officers to cover the overflow lot and lots C and D. But a more visible Campus Police presence isn't the only security enhancement planned for the stadium.
"We're trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible for people coming to the stadium to do things they shouldn't," Girod said. "Fencing allows us to create travel paths where larger numbers travel, which allows us to monitor them better.
"Any time there's additional cameras and enhanced lighting, it helps us do our job and is a deterrent to crime," Girod said. "But there's no substitute for individuals paying attention to their surroundings and notifying Campus Police if they see something that's of concern to them."
Parking Garage C, scheduled to be completed approximately one year after construction begins in November, will allow many of those who are being moved to the stadium lot to return to campus parking, although at a higher rate – as much as $85 per month.
Meanwhile, Burney said as parking resources become available on campus, the Parking Committee will ensure that any available spaces will be allocated among UMMC employees in a fair and appropriate manner in adherence to the institution's Parking Policy.
"What I would ask of everyone is patience," he said. "If we don't claim these lots now and build this garage, the situation can't get any easier.
"The garage is like breaking eggs to get an omelet: You've got to break eggs to make something better."

• Exactly which areas at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium are available for parking?On July 14, Medical Center employees and students may park in stadium lots A, B and the overflow lot. When phase 2 construction begins in January 2015, they also may park in stadium lots C and D and the unimproved lot next to the Medical Towers building (Click to see diagram).
• Where can people with disabilities park at the stadium?Numerous designated "disabled parking" spaces are available in stadium lot B and the overflow lot. They are located adjacent to each UMMC shuttle stop in those lots (Click to see diagram).
• What are the best access routes to enter and leave the stadium parking lots?Vehicles traveling northbound on State Street can enter the stadium lot by Lower East Stadium Drive. Vehicles traveling southbound on State Street can enter the stadium lot by Upper East Stadium Drive, directly across from the main State Street entrance to the Medical Center. Vehicles may enter the stadium lots from West Street by Lower West Stadium Drive, directly across from the Farmer's Market entrance, or Upper West Stadium Drive, the entrance closest to the overflow lot (Click to see diagram).
• I have a parking space in a lot that is not closing. Why am I being reassigned to the stadium? The Medical Center's Parking Committee is adhering to the institution's existing parking policy in determining the new parking assignments. The policy applies to all employees at the Medical Center, so individuals who park in every lot on campus are eligible to be relocated. Many employees who park in lots affected by construction have positions in the hierarchy that require them to be moved to another lot on campus. Those who are being relocated to the stadium lots were selected to do so because of their respective job's hierarchy level and the individual's respective hire date.
• I have been informed that my parking space will be relocated, but I am not being assigned to the stadium. Where will I park on July 14?Final parking assignments for all employees displaced to other lots on campus have not been determined as of press time. These employees will receive email notification of their new parking assignment as soon as possible. Every attempt will be made to provide this information at least one week in advance of the relocation.

Well Done 6/11/2013
This dvd Showed "The Case for Christ" video to class as a follow up to the video "The God Who Wasn't There." Lee Strobel answers each of the objections of the agnostics and atheists in the Richard Carrier's etal video. His presentation is truthful, accurate and honorable.
Investigating the claims of Christ 5/23/2013
Lee Strobel is a well-educated legal journalist who sets out to prove that Christianity is false. He admittedly feels threatened when his wife becomes a Christian & says that he is afraid of losing her. Strobel constructs a method of investigating the case for Christ just as he would in a court of law. He gathers evidence from Christian scholars & puts hard questions to them as to the validity of the Bible & Jesus' claims of being the Messiah.
Removes your doubts 12/24/2012
This DVD is just over an hour of entry-level apologetics (defense of the faith). If you were looking into the claims of Christ, this would be a great start. Lee Strobel was a former journalist for the Chicago Tribune that calmed atheism. Once his wife became a Christian, it set him into a two-year investigation of the claims of Christ. This DVD is the Readers Digest version of that investigation. His entire investigation is recorded in his book "The Case for Christ."

Baleal Surf Camp tries to make a contribution to this important cause by promoting beach clean-up activities, involving our staff, students and guests in the cleaning work.
We do it mainly whenever we make our weekly surfing trips to deserted beaches. See the video below with an example from October 2009.
Please, avoid plastic! Watch this video and see why.
Surfrider Foundation
Baleal Surf Camp is a member of the Surfrider Foundation. Founded in 1984 in Malibu, California, it now has more than 50,000 members. It's a coastline protection association that promotes environmental improvement activities for the Ocean and beaches.
We have been actively participating in the Spring Ocean Initiatives since 2009 every year, committing staff and guests that offer to help voluntarily. The latest activity was in 2014's spring... Below some photos taken since 2009.
Ocean Initiatives Beach Clenup at Almagreira in March 2013
Ocean Initiatives at Pico da Mota (WCT location in 2009) in March 2012
Ocean Initiatives at Almagreira Beach in 2011
Ocean Initiatives 2010 held at the beach right in front of our location
Baleal Surf Camp in Peniche, in association with the Surfrider foundation - Ocean Initiatives, other local surf camps and anonymous volunteers promoted last Saturday March 20th a beach cleanup at Praia do Baleal Campismo in Baleal Peniche Portugal.
The initiative gathered around 30 people all emboyed with the spirit to help and the right attitude towards fighting one of the shamefull consequences of our human activities, the production of waste and the careless disposal of it everywhere.
An hour or two is what everyone gave from their Saturday afternoon, and amazingly we did not have to spread more tham 400m around our meeting point to fillup the plastic bags we had. Thanks everyone.
The year before Baleal Surf Camp and the Surfrider Foundation took action on November 28th 2009, a photo below, see more at Camp News.
One of the first beach cleanups that we ever made photos of, back in 2008
SurfAid International
Surf Aid is a not-for-profit association whose mission is to improve the health and well being of native populations that live isolated from the world and who are in some way connected to surfers.
Baleal Surf Camp is a member of Surf Aid, and makes its contribution to that cause.

The game of trying to determine "who is the guilty sexist" is tiresome. We all say and do mildly sexist things from time to time. I do, you do, women do. Moreover I do not care about Mark Shuttleworth in any capacity other than as an illustration of the systemic bias in this community. You seem to understand systemic bias at least as far as language use, but you seem to think it stops there, that a little gender-biased language isn't worth getting enraged over. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there.
It's actually just indicative of much deeper biasing. Look at any of the numerous threads that have come out of incidents like this. Look at the discussion. it's 100x worse than the initial gaffe. What starts as a matter of language bias (or, well, in some cases uglier concerns such as pornographic slides) rapidly descends into outright verbal abuse. You have men of this community claiming women have developmental, genetic, psychological, spiritual or otherwise innate inferiority in technical tasks. Men insulting women's appearance, sexuality, intelligence, sense of humor and honesty. Men threatening women with harassment and assault. Men cracking jokes about male domination and male privilege. Men telling anyone who dares take issue with any of this to shut up, go away, drop dead.
You do not get to decide via some courtroom logic whether a statement is "ok" or not. There is no point examining the circumstances to tease a plausibly non-biasing meaning out of it. This is an even more tiresome game. Those statements made -- made -- people feel another shove of bias in an already systemically-biased environment. They make me feel that. Any time I'm in the room and someone talks about "software so simple their girlfriend could use it" and "simple enough for Aunt Tillie", or "coding like a rockstar" and "manning up", or any of the horrendously biased statements made in the now-numerous threads about this topic elsewhere. Those reinforce the bias. I feel it. Enough people feel it to be talking about it. Deal with that fact, don't tell us how we feel.
It doesn't matter what was intended in Shuttleworth's case. Intention is not effect. When you intend to make a funny joke and nobody laughs, do you try to argue your audience into laughing? When you intend to ship an appealing product and nobody buys it, do you try to argue your market into buying?
You do not get to argue someone out of their feeling, their response. You might not care, that's your choice. But if you care, the habits of speech and conduct need to change. More than that, the underlying attitudes revealed in the ensuing conversations need to change. If you don't care, your loss. Continue to lose most of the women and a chunk of the men who are too annoyed to stay.

By Richard C. Morais
In a period marked by instability and volatility, there is a certain comfort to hanging out with old money and its reassuringly long-term view. For that reason, I called up David Harris, the chief investment officer at Rockefeller Financial, and asked him to meet me at the cafe in the lobby of the New York Palace Hotel. I have always found the permanence of all that lobby marble oddly calming.
Rockefeller Financial, with $35 billion under its hood, is particularly good at analyzing large multinationals and global stocks. In a debt-laden world where even the U.S. has been downgraded, Harris is of the investment school that believes AAA-rated companies sitting on "unprecedented" amounts of cash are the "new sovereigns."
Harris, in short, has a fine mind for looking at old and established companies in new ways. "If you look at a world awash in debt, ask yourself, 'Who [or what] is really the source of strength?'"(For a list of cash-rich tech companies, see Barron's "Show Us The Money.")
"Massive cash piles," I countered politely, "seem more a sign of corporate weakness than corporate strength." What I meant by that was, the cash stash at the likes of Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) and Oracle (ORCL) suggest a colossal failure of corporate imagination, a sign that our "best" companies are bereft of the big ideas that will move their institutions into the future. Rather, unable to figure out how to invest in the next generation of products, these firms gather cash from yesterday's products and, for all intents and purposes, appear stalled in their tracks.
Not so, countered Harris. What you are seeing in the balance sheet of these global companies is a unique point in history when "the scaling of technology" has enabled firms to generate cash at an "unprecedented" rate in comparison to the number of employees they have. "Yes, you need physical plant and employees, but nothing on the scale that you needed in the past to become one of the largest companies in the world."
Furthermore, says Harris, there's a certain amount of balance sheet management going on here. The cash build up at companies is "bigger than anything seen in the past because overseas markets have become [more] important than they ever were before, so the amount of cash they've built up overseas is tremendous." Diving into the center of the presidential debate, Harris argues that corporate tax law has "conditioned CFOs and treasurers to keep cash offshore."
It's hard to argue with his point. Companies pay taxes abroad, of course, and usually pay taxes again when the firms repatriate their profits back to their U.S. home office. This double taxation encourages firms to leave their profits overseas, which is why there is a clamor to resurrect the 2004 repatriation tax holiday that briefly allowed companies to bring their profits back to our shores at an effective 5.25% tax rate, vs. the maximum corporate tax rate of 35%.
The resurrected pitch: an amnesty allows companies to bring profits back to the U.S., which they will (hopefully) reinvest at home and in new job-creating opportunities. Everyone from Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) to General Electric (GE) CEO Jeffrey Immelt has voiced support for the reincarnated tax holiday, but the U.S. Treasury and the Heritage Foundation call it a shill's game.
According to the IRS, only 842 of the 9,700 firms with foreign subsidiaries repatriated $362 billion during the 2004 tax holiday. "The evidence clearly shows that these repatriated earnings did not increase domestic investment, job creation, or research and development," noted the Heritage Foundation, but "estimates indicate that a $1 increase in repatriations was associated with a $0.60- $0.92 increase in payouts to shareholders – despite regulations stating that such expenditures were not a permitted use of repatriations qualifying for the tax holiday."
Michael Mundaca, former assistant Treasury secretary for tax policy, further warned this discussion of a repatriation tax holiday is all just a distracting sideshow from the comprehensive tax reform that the nation so desperately needs.
Harris' point is that the bloated cash positions of U.S. companies are partly influenced by the mere discussion that a tax holiday could be in the cards under a Romney administration. CFOs and treasurers are specifically watching how the election plays out in the White House, House and Senate; the results will let them "handicap it all – do I keep my cash offshore and bring it back next year?" Or whatever.
All of which reminds me: I am so ready to vote.
Clarity can't come soon enough.

'Big Data for Little Computers' Firm Sisense Raises $30 Million
SiSense, a business intelligence company from Tel Aviv, Israel, has secured a $30 million investment round led by DFJ Growth, the late-stage investment arm of California-based venture-capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ).
The company makes big-data analytics software intended to run on regular computers with no additional hardware.
Some of its customers include Target, eBay, ESPN, Samsung Electronics and Wix.Com.
In 2012, SiSense demonstrated how a $1,000 laptop can crunch and visualize a terabyte of data using its technology.
The company's most prominent competitors are Tableau Software and Qlik. After going public in 2013 Tableau's market capital now stands at $4.26 billion. Qlik, a Swedish company founded in 1993, now has a market cap of over $2 billion.
In 2010 SiSense moved to its current offices overlooking Tel-Aviv's new port. Having grown from a 30 person operation in 2012 to nearly a 90 strong company with offices in New-York, it now seeks to expand again and intends to open new offices in the US and Europe.
Alongside DFJ growth, investors in the C round announced included Battery Ventures, Genesis Partners and Opus Capital.

Guest post by Dinis
Dinis, 13, is the children's representative from Mozambique's Gondola district where ChildFund operates. Last week, he addressed government officials at the African Child Policy Forum, which examined how African governments are performing with regard to budgeting for children's needs.
Children need more budget. The schools we have are not enough. Not only are our schools far away from home, they are without any [restroom] facilities. Students are crowded in class but teachers are few.
We children are exposed to abuse because our schools are far from our homes. Girls face rape [when they walk far distances], and boys are forced to do farming around home [instead of attending school].
All these problems are because the government didn't budget enough for us. It is time for government to give us priority and budget for us. We need to be educated to receive tomorrow's Mozambique.
Increase our school facilities and the number of teachers. Please put emphasis on quality education, train our parents and include the disabled.
Thank you.
Dinis spoke for most of the children in Africa facing similar challenges. Its a shame that the children of the richest continent on earth are facing such situations. This should dwarf all of us as leaders. This wake-up call from Dinis and others who spoke before him should not only be listened to but act to give our children hope for a better future.
This is very interesting and its a pride to Mozambique to have children cultured to speak out. How I wish we could have more girl children who speak out like this for themselves because they have their own problems that boys will never suffer. Those problems, heard directly from the mouth of the victim, gets to the ears of the listener more clear and with the natural punch they hold.Congratulations Dinis!T hanks to Lurdes, Vegove and ChildFund and others for promoting the Child Parliament.
As staff of Save the Children, an organization who has been working with the Child Parliament in Gondola since 2006 we are glad to see that these children are now so fluent and represent so well the children who have elected them. It makes us feel that our work is worthy. Thank you for creating this opportunity to these children and for sharing this experience and thanx to Evelyn for crediting us, the crediting goes to the children.

Do you remember when we were talking about a Drill Sergeant unit? He was like an officer with a power drill and the ability to Scapegoat a squad member. Once a turn, he could blame any failure on one of his squad members, sacrifice him (by drilling a hole in his head), and then the rest of the squad would get a motivation bonus. (Later this got turned into Masters and Thralls in chapter 10, but I always liked this image of leadership.)
Honestly, I don't always pay complete attention to this part of the forum, especially with the 100+ questions that have been asked recently.
I'm glad that my thought is unoriginal though.
