Murderball: Two Longtime Friends Face Rockfall and Sudden Injury23-Jun-2015

The Pirate: Adventures with Ammon McNeely16-Jul-2014
My nerves were shot, and I leaned my head against the cold, blank granite of Iron Hawk (VI A4) on El Cap, just for a second of reprieve. The sensation of falling suddenly jolted me. I shrieked and applied an arm-cramping death-grip to my aider with my battered hand. My other arm spun to keep my balance … but … I wasn't falling.

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. It is no longer recommended for beer making. It will increase the nutrient value of beer, but this is probably not the intent of those using it. Under certain circumstances the ascorbic acid can cause yeast to produce ethyl acetate compounds (smells like nail polish remover). Ascorbic acid has previously been touted as an anti-oxidant, but research by the University of Texas has shown that for it to be active it must be combined in a low pH solution with sulfur dioxide. Neither a low pH nor sulfur dioxide is advisable for any form of beer.

In this week's episode of Geek & Sundry's TableTop, host Wil Wheaton is back with another party game: Dixit. Dixit isn't your typical party game, though. It requires a bit of concise storytelling (and we know from Gloom and Fiasco that Wheaton & Co. are great at telling stories), but it also has some mechanics akin to Apples to Apples. (I explained more about how Dixit works in my review last year.) It's a fascinating game that works well for all ages, has beautiful artwork, and is language independent. Watch as the TableTop gang tries to strike the right balance of telling stories that are clear enough to get some votes, but not so specific that they get all the votes.

Code Enforcement - Housing Division
What is a Certificate of Compliance?"
A Certificate of Compliance is an approval from the Housing Division to rent a housing unit. It states that, at the time the unit was inspected or reinspected, the unit was in compliance with the regulations in the Housing Code. This means that there was nothing in that unit that would affect the health or safety of the occupant(s).
How long is a Certificate of Compliance valid for?"
The Certificate of Compliance expires two (2) years from the date of issuance.
Is there a fee?"
Yes. The cost of a Certificate is $25 per apartment.
Do single family homes being rented require a Certificate?"
Yes. The Housing Code states that any dwelling or dwelling unit more than 10 years old requires a Certificate of Compliance if it is rented.
What if my landlord won't fix items in my apartment?"
If you have a problem in your apartment that you have asked your landlord to fix but has not, you can file a written complaint regarding the matter with the Housing Division (forms available in the office). An appointment would be made for the Housing Inspector to meet you at your apartment to investigate your complaint. If housing violations are found during the inspection, a notice will be sent to the landlord.

I play for Cru Paintball
My Team is Cru LT
Posted 27 November 2012 - 08:36 PM
Then there is Hell Survivors. Hell Survivors always has Airbunkers up. As Lone Wolf almost never has theirs up. They have tons of large scale Scenario Games year-round. And plenty of tournaments from what I hear. Even better, the Retail Store is literally walking distance from the field. Though, the downside is that it's located kinda far from my house. It's located in Pincney.
Both fields are very nice. Hell Survivors does have very nice scenery. While Lone Wolf East is located in a not so GREAT area. But- Lone Wolf is looking to expand it's business to adding an Indoor Airball field in Taylor.

I am hoping to get up to CRU in Flint some day. It looks really nice, and I have heard really good things about it. I just need to find a day where I can go up there all day to make it worth the drive.

went to CRU this past Friday for open play. First off no one ever showed up so I drove an hour for nothing, second off Flint is extremely ghetto. I wouldn't wanna go back there
Unfortunate that no body else came. I can see that could be an issue. I would check with the field and hope they could give you a best time for walkons. I would think Sat/Sun would be better. I am planning on taking a private group to Cru soon. Visited the field to look it over. Nice proshop and nice staff. I liked both indoor setups. Looks like a nice place to play. But you need players.
That part of flint really is not that bad, years ago I played in much worse area's in Detroit. They are a short drive off the interstate in a old strip mall. Hey Flint has some real Ghetto parts just like Detroit, but Cru is not really in those areas. Depressed area, not Ghetto.

Laura & Jason
October 13
Savannah, Georgia
From the photographer: "Laura and Jason wanted to marry somewhere central for their guests, though they would travel the furthest from Los Angeles, between Florida and North Carolina. They wanted a southern wedding and chose the Harper Fowlkes House, which is an outdoor courtyard in the Historic District of Savannah. Caroline Carter implemented a design and had them married under a fabric-swatched oak tree in the square, had their guests' cocktail hour inside the Harper Fowlkes House then proceeded to the courtyard for a seated banquet dinner." –Donna Van Breuning of Donna Van Breuning Photographers

I am currently making Stealth1's War Machine Pep.
I am currently making Stealth1's War Machine Pep.
and.......where's the pics???
Well the helmet is almost Pepped. That will be on soon.
Also I only started this thread 2 hours ago.
Theres the Minigun so far. I cut off the end of a cup for the nose. Then used aluminum arrows for the barrels. I modded a M4 airsoft for the base so it can fire.
Naglium this board is for any props please check it.
There is no need to disparage the Iron Man folks who are here or rather anyone who wants to work on other than Fett related "props" in this section.
Just because there arent any hardcore Fett waterfalls happening in these or other forums doesnt mean we should discourage others. After his Iron man he may take to build a Fett or Mando, but with negative feedback from the USERS who are still here, he might not.
Okay figured out how to upload photos finally.
This is the Minigun so far.
Incorrect I still had a technical issue so heres the link.
Issue solved!
Give Poyuz credit for the idea
its a multi step process for uploading pix, u have to be in advanced mode,manage attachments, select photos, upload then even click insert inline or as attachment.
I used safety wire and epoxy for the nose. I also cut out cooling slits with a dremel tool. Does anybody have an idea for a removable cover besides duct tape?
Umbrella case?
Maybe go to the post office and see if they have a mailing tube, you are just looking for something that to cover it up right?
Holy Crimson your really doing the airsoft thingy to your gun! Good to know Good luck
Bad news: Halloween is in 5 months. At my peping rate it will not be done in time. I am planing on postponing this project and go with a Fett costume instead because much less pieces. So there will be no updates for 5 months.
When all else fails once the 405th site is back up because there are more people that pep over there, you could make a posting asking for someone to help you with building I had a Master Chief suit pepped for me for 100, Hope this helps because I always like to see pep builds in the works.

Added scoop of vanilla whey for some extra protein. Tasted great!
Whey is dairy and therefore not Paleo.
As a holistic nutritionist, I would actually recommend the yolks go into the smoothie too and not just the whites. Of course this only happens when people overdo it on egg whites, but with smoothies, you never know how many and how often people consume them, but eating egg whites can inhibit biotin absorption (a B vitamin) and the yolks contain good levels of biotin. So this is just another check mark in the column for eating the whole food, not just a part, especially not ditching the nutrient-rich yolk. I actually have been known to put only the yolks into my smoothie and cook up the whites on the side to eat with it. Just a thought- love your site!!! Great work and visually very clean (as a graphic designer turned holistic/paleo nutritionist).
Diane :)
Replaced almond milk with coconut milk. Yummy fat.
Is this smoothie intended for one person or two?
This recipe needs work… I made a double batch and the only thing it made was a mess. It turned into a berry puree and only 2 cups worth. Please revise.. more water, Ice, whats do i need to thin it out?
How about leaving the egg out and just scrsbling it on the side to have with the drink? I don't want to eat raw egg either.
Recipe calls for 2 cups of berries, but only put one in the blender? Are the rest of the berries sprinkled on top, eaten on the side. i would also agree this seems a little light for two athletes.
I dont have any measuring gear so just guessed it out, used half a can of coconut milk instead of the almond milk. Used 1 whole egg instead of the egg whites and in hindsight went under par on the frozen berries.
Not too bad on the taste but man am I full/bloated. Perhaps I shouldn't have drank the whole lot if it's meant to serve 2 :p
i added a couple carrots and some cellary to this because my wife hates veggies in the morning. Turned out great.
I made this and enjoyed it! I added ice, but thought the coconut was too much, I was chewing it.
Do the berries need to be frozen? I usually have strawberries and blueberries just sittin in the fridge for munching.
Can this be made the night before and put in the fridge overnight? I only ask because of the eggs.
I'm so not an egg person- it's a texture/taste thing. :) Any suggestions on what would be a good substitute that would still provide the protein and keep me going throughout the morning?
Would adding extra soy protein to the smoothie be within the framework of the Paleo diet? Thanks
I didn't have the pastured chicken eggs so I replaced them with a couple scoops of almond butter. Not nearly as much protein but it tasted great!
Do you have a suggestion to replace almond milk? I am extremely allergic to nuts. I go into anaphylactic shock, so anything with nuts simply isn't an option,which eliminates a lot of great recipes.
I used to think "EWWW" about raw eggs in shakes, too! ONE DAY, I tried it… can't taste it, adds to the texture of the shake AND boosts the nutrition. If you've NOT tried it, and only THINK you don't like it, I say go for it. Once. Then, you'd know.
I am scared to use raw eggs…is this a silly fear? Is there a suggestion for a good substitute for eggaphobics?
@Neely, good idea. Thanks for the help!
Just curious on the paleo plans thoughts on whey protein powder?
Is it a no go if you want to be paleo, technically its dairy i know
Thanks for your prompt reply Neely.
You certainly offer up a great argument for why not to take it ; )
I'll definitely try to give it up, to be honest its the convenience & cost as to why i use it, I would take whole foods over this stuff any day, but i dont know how i can afford it financially & timewise though.
Thanks again Neely, you're a wealth of info & a great help.
Can you add an a scoop of vegan protein powder to this…like Vibe ALive…they are a pure plant based proetin powder. They are 100% dairy, soy and gluten free.
Could you use coconut butter to replace the coconut? (texture thing)
Ok. I am allergic to eggs so what can I use to replace eggs on this diet?
Ice becomes the critical ingredient to thickness..i used about 10 cubes..perfect..and btw, you dont even taste
the eggs, but they help fill you up…
Can't wait to try this. I used to make a similar smoothie before going Paleo. I couldn't handle all the sugar. The eggs will provide enough protein for me to process the sugar from the berries.
it sounds delicious.
I am starting my Paleo diet journey soon, and look forward to the overall result for many reasons…YES, weight loss is part of it ;) but mainly is for health purposes. A lot of my family members have many health issues: high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart problems…to name a few; therefore I want to live a longer and healthier life, I am still young but lately I lack a lot of energy and I am soooo ready for that to change :). With that said, my question is….and it may be silly one…could you use unfrozen berries and just add ice to the mix? if so, how much ice? :)
how about useing cartoned liquid eggs?????
For the people who are nervous about eating raw egg, perhaps you can make a custard from the eggs and almond/coconut milk? It's a little more prep work, but maybe worth the piece of mind?
Just a thought, what if you boiled the egg for 2-3 minutes first to around 65-77 degrees celcius? Just to kill any bacteria from the egg and then throw it in the smoothie? Or would it just be weird having partly cooked egg in there?
Can you use fresh berries instead of the frozen?
Hi !
I so enjoy your website and I love that you are TRULY paleo! Your recipes are absolutely amazing!!!
I have a few quick questions.
– Can I use frozen vegetables and are they as good as fresh? I will often cook the meat beforehand and in the morning would bring frozen vegetables for lunch which I heat in the microwave and add a few spices (it also serves as an icepack lol).
– Exercise: How much exercise per day? The only exercise I do is walk an hour at lunch and Qi Gong Yoga for 30 minutes.
– Is it correct to say that my plate should consist of 2/3 vegetables, 1 portion meat (size of the palm of your hand), 1 good fat (avocado, nuts, seeds) and 1 portion of fruit?
– Drinks: Is coffee permitted?
Thank you soooo very much! Paleo has really changed my health. I feel great… no pain, bloating, swelling and most of all not falling asleep at work at 2:30 in the afternoon. I feel alert and full of energy.
Keep up the great work!
P.S. I'm not done going through everything on your website.
So.. are farm fresh eggs a no for eating raw? I buy all my eggs from a local free range farm here in canada. Should i just make hard boiled egg on the side instead?
I don't eat eggs
Ok so I blended hard boiled eggs into the smoothie. Not very tasty at all. I think next time I will risk it and use raw eggs
I made this tonight was canned coconut and frozen strawberries. I Can't get myself to add raw eggs even pasteurized. I did add a little vanilla extract and unsweetened coconut. Very good and definitely sweet enough.
This smoothie tasted like a dessert treat! I loved it as is. You can't taste the egg and I like the coconut texture. This is wonderful :)
I have a variation of this smoothie almost every morning, with soft boiled eggs!! As Neely mentionned above in a comment, it gives a smoother texture which I love (I hate the texture with raw eggs, but when soft boiled wow!!! Amazing). I tried this one day when I finally decided enough was enough and kicked the whey isolate to the curb, and I have never looked back. I boil up 12 eggs at a time which is a huge time saver. Often I even peel them the night before and just toss them in the blender in the morning. For all of you with qualms about raw eggs, forget about eating your cooked egg on the side, throw it in there!!!!! Minimal to zero eggy taste, at least in my opinion. Try it!!
Ps hard boiling eggs makes them taste eggier, so if you find you don't like the taste in a smoothie, try soft boiling instead.
In response to the holistic nutritionist, my understanding is that liquid pasteurized egg whites have the Avidin neutralized. Since Avidin is what blocks the uptake of Biotin (Vitamin B6), the pasteurization process reduces concern over Vitamin deficiency.
I published an article on egg white smoothies lifeisnoyoke.com/egg-white-smoothies/ , and would like your thoughts to make the article as comprehensive as possible.
I home pasturize eggs consumed raw (easy to do, google instructions). If you do it right eggs still look raw when cracked. Works great for homemade mayo too.
Hi, would fresh young coconut water/juice with the fresh coconut inside it also be a substitute for the almond milk and the little amount of coconut you put in the smoothie?
I agree that the coconut is too much in this. You end up chewing more than drinking this smoothie! I added more unsweetened almond milk because it was too thick. It also needed to be a little sweeter so I added stevia in the raw or I'm sure you could use honey. Overall not that impressed by this smoothie.
How about adding Pea Protein instead of raw egg and if allergic to almond milk, use coconut milk diluted with coconut water? Will that work for Paleo
Is hemp protein powder/flour considered paleo?
I tempered my egg on the stove with about a half cup of almond milk then refrigerated it till chilled then I made my shake. You can also make a custard using tapioca.
Sounds great but wouldn't it benefit from some greens?
Is tapioca on the diet?
Add a cup of raw almonds.
Add a cup of raw almonds.
On my 2nd week of Crossfit. Would like to start on a healthy diet as well.
Raw eggs??? Is that really safe???
Wow this sounds yummy. Just wondering – we have our own chicks so no probs with fresh eggs, but am I meant to clean the egg shell before I crack it in? From a bacteria point of view… TIA!
rather than use a raw egg in the mix, would it be acceptable to use something like "egg beaters"?
I used egg protein powder instead of the eggs
I am just starting to try the Paleo Plan and just mixed this up with a little twist, I used a banana instead of the eggs, my eggs have to be cooked. It is very good.
Raw Eggs??

Barbara, make sure that WiFi is turned on under settings and that Airplane Mode is turned off. If that's as it should be, I'd suggest checking with your neighbor to make sure she hasn't changed the password since she shared it with you and that you are typing it exactly right. It's also possible that the network you are attempting to log onto isn't your neighbor's network, but belongs to another neighbor. So, make sure you're trying the correct network.
Also, just because you can see the network, doesn't mean the signal strength is strong enough to connect. You may just be out of range. Your best bet for a reliable connection is to set up a router in your home.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've juiced a 9 out of a 35' deck with a poppy lip.
Its more about how the lip is than anything else. Table length honestly speaks nothing to me compared to how the lip of the jump actually feel under my pop.
best way to get super comfortable and quick at spinning is to spin hard/clean off all the proper side hits you can find. 180/ 270 rolling transitions, and 450/540 off poppy hits if you can. No Pre spinning, and no kung-fu kicks allowed. Focus to make them clean as possible and feel your edges work and your body joints. It will make sure that you are really solid on edge and with the varying shape between different hits, it will make you solid in finding the right sweet spot out of your balance through many situations. Bring it to park jumps where lips are clean and consistant and just visualize how you bring your self around 180 at a time.
I could barely front 3 a 20'+ park jump, seriously just by the skin of my teeth I could. 3 days within this season and practicing my edges and rotations with side hits and rollers, specifically with frontside and switch backside...I popped a front 3 first try off the same jump that I referance as the "20'+ park jump", best one of my life so far...then front 5 it next try better than I front 3'd it.
I'm gonna dial the 5's, get them to 7's and a front cork 5 within my next several visits to that same park. Which will line me up evenly with my backside and cab spinning talent. Switch backside is still in the deep works.
|thanks guys. if i send it deep i could get even more rotation around
|To be honest. You could throw world record spins off of that jump, but the margin for error when landing it is none. It would really become a luck game when you're doing that. The way you would have to spin would be way different from a normal spin too. Don't recommend this though.
|9's or 10's probably though they are going to looked seriously hucked off a jump that small. What kind of jump is it? Cheese wedge style step down is going to give you a little more margin than a step up or table. 35 ft is plenty big for a progression feature. My preferred method is to dial things in the smallest feature I think it's possible to do something then slowly step it up. If you use that approach, you can definitely get 7's and 9's down on a jump that size.

In the video below the rider is throwing flatland 720s and throws a 900 off what looks like just a natural roller (around 0:50)
So stop worry about the jump... a 35 jump can allow for more rotations that you can ever do. So keep practicing!
|A 1080 or even more. My park has a 40 and people do 10s on it.

Hey Guys,
I'm a new teacher and I have to prepare a lesson about giving opinions with phrases like in my opinion... and also explaining them for example 'it's interesting' as well as negative expressions.
I think it's a cool lesson, I'm just trying to think of the best way to introduce the topic to the students. One idea I had was to say an example 'weird' sentence to spark opinion but I'm struggling over what a good one could be.
My students are young adults. Can anyone think of a natural or interesting way they introduce this? Does anyone have any good lesson plans for this in general? I want to avoid serious and political themes.
Thank you,

The Canisius College men's soccer team travels to face MAAC foe Quinnipiac on Saturday. The two schools, who are both tied for second in the conference standings with seven points, are set to meet at 3 p.m. in Hamden, Conn.
• Canisius has played to the last whistle this season and has been rewarded with its play in overtime.
• The Griffs have played five overtime contests in 2013, resulting in a 3-0-2 record.
• It marks the first time in program's history that Canisius has won three extra-session games in a single season. The Griffs had previously won two overtime games during the 1999, 2007 and 2011 campaigns.
• Asani Samuels have scored two of the Griffs' three overtime goals this season, including the game-winner on Wednesday against Siena.
• Samuels is just the second player in school history to net two overtime goals in the same season. Gavin Falconer also accomplished the feat during the 2011 campaign.
• Canisius is having success in 2013 thanks to its offensive output in the second half.
• The Griffs have scored 16 of their MAAC-leading 19 goals after the halftime intermission (13 in the second half and three in overtime).
• Canisius' 16 goals after the break are by far the most in the MAAC. Fairfield currently ranks second in the league with 10 goals in the second half.
• In MAAC play this season, the Griffs have scored all seven of their goals after the halftime intermission.
• Another reason for the Griffs' top-ranked offense in the MAAC has to do with the team's ability to draw fouls in the box.
• Canisius has been awarded five penalty kicks this season. Will Hudson has attempted all five penalty kicks, converting four of them.
• The league average among the other 10 schools in the MAAC is just 1.20 penalties per team. Only Fairfield – who has attempted four – has also had more than two kicks from the spot in 2013.
• The schools are meeting for the first time in a conference matchup after Quinnipiac joined the MAAC this year from the NEC.
• The teams have met three times in non-conference action from 2003 to 2008 with the Bobcats claiming all three contests.
• Quinnipiac defeated the Griffs in the schools' last meeting in 2008, 3-2, at the Demske Sports Complex.
• Quinnipiac is unbeaten in its last four games and is 4-3-4 overall this season.
• The Bobcats, along with Canisius, are in a four-way tie for second in the MAAC standings with a 2-0-1 record.
• Simon Hinde leads the Bobcats with 12 points and six goals this season, while Michael Baker ranks second on the squad with six points (2g, 2a).
• Boria Angoitia has started all 11 games in net with a 0.85 goals against average and .808 save percentage.

Hello everyone,
So my 20 week old GS was just diagnosed with UAP in his front left elbow. I am completely beside myself since I did everything right. I went to a breeder who rated hips and elbows, I feed a great diet, I haven't allowed any jumping during his growth period ect ect. His limping started about 2 weeks ago and everyone wrote it off as pano. After I finally demanded for X-ray's due to him getting worse, he did them and it's clear as day he has UAP.
I am curious to hear from those who have experience with UAP. Which surgery route did you take (screwing the plate to the ulna, removal of the growth plate, or elbow replacement)? What is the outcome, does your dog live a normal life, can he do normal things? Also the cost. Not that money is an issue, but I want to know what I'm in for.
I am waiting for the orthopedic vet to contact me, but I want to be as informed as I can be.
Thank you everyone!

Cassidy had UAP surgery at the time of her spay. She was already 20 weeks old when we got her, and our vet suggested that we wait awhile and see if it corrects on its own, which can happen. He thought it would be good to wait until after her first heat, as the hormones are beneficial to developing bones and joints, and then he did x-rays again when she was almost a year old. He felt there was no point in waiting beyond that, so we scheduled both surgeries.
As it turns out, she had a piece of bone about the size of his thumbnail in the joint, which was what prevented it from developing normally. It was removed, and she recovered well. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with discospondylitis (a painful spinal disease) at a little over 2 years old and we euthanized her at a few months past her 4th birthday, so I can't tell you how her elbow was long term.
Thank you for your response! All 3 vets said if I do not do this surgery ASAP he will be lame by his 1 st birthday. He is already not putting weight in that leg and is turning it out right, so I'm trying to get it done ASAP.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. That's so sad :(

Thanks. :) In your case, sooner might be better than later. Cassidy was actually showing no signs of pain and no limitations in movement, we just happened to know about it because the breeder provided x-rays before we decided to get her. If your boy is already favoring that leg, I'd go ahead and schedule the surgery.
I just want to offer support. Cas has UAP, but wasn't diagnosed until his OFA's at 2 and was never symptomatic. I probably know as much about UAP as anyone, since I researched the heck out of it, but I can't speak to the surgery question because it wasn't an option for him because of his age. I just want you to know that you didn't do anything wrong and that it's good that you found it while surgery is an option. There are a number of threads here about it and it's helpful to know that a lot of dogs do very well after diagnosis, both with and without surgery. I would consult with the best orthopedic guy I could find, probably more than one, and weigh the advice.
Good luck to you and your pup! Keep us posted. I'll follow the thread.
I have done some research, but in truth there really isn't much out there about quality of life after surgery.
Curious as to why surgery wasn't an option since I was told he would be lame if i didn't get it. Then again you stated he didn't show any signs and Rocky is showing every sign there is.

If I remember the time frame accurately, They recommend that surgery be done by about the age of your dog (20 weeks) because after that stage of growth the surgery is less successful. The earlier the surgery is done, the better chance the process has of reuniting. Cas was 24 months when diagnosed and both elbows look like train wrecks, but he absolutely never limped and there was no way to know that he had UAP. I actually bought him after he was diagnosed knowing that he was going to need lifelong management and believing that I could give him a good life. In his case, the supporting structure around the joints is very strong and the joints are pretty stable, so a lot of exercise early in his life probably helped him. Our biggest battle is going to be arthritis as he gets older, which is what we're fighting against. He's now 39 months old and doing very well. He's a moderate drive working line dog, lives on a horse farm and pretty much does what he wants, although I don't encourage any extra exercise from him. He will limp just a little on his right leg if he really overdoes it as in playing hard with another dog, but most of the time I tend to forget about his elbows. Right now he is a happy 3 year old and he's never seen his x rays, so he thinks he's normal.
If I were in your position, at Rocky's age, I would for sure do the surgery if I could. I think the critical factor there is the after care, so make sure you're prepared for that. Debbie and others here who have been thru it can better advise you. Cas and I are just playing the hand we we're dealt and I realize that his elbows could turn bad at any time, but I think the odds would be much better with a successful surgery. Look for whatever you can find on Google. I know it's hard to find case histories, but the prognosis is pretty good if the surgery is done early enough.
You haven't mentioned this and I hesitate to add any more anxiety, but I'm sure they will want to x-ray both elbows. Has your vet brought that up?
Give Rocky our best,
Gary & Cas

The bones in the elbow are not united to start with, but then they say by five months, if they remain ununited it is one of the types of ED, UAP.
I have a girl who was diagnosed very young, after they let her tie herself up and then fall off or jump onto a bed, and she ended up doing damage to the elbow. They took her in, and the x-ray showed this.
I took the x-ray to my vet, and her opinion was to not be hasty about surgery and see what happens. I took the dog home and let her heal -- the dog's elbow was still swollen and injured. I just let her heal. She did heal. The dog will be four in March, and hasn't limped or had any problems with that elbow. So, now, I should probably get a new x-ray and see what is what with her. Did it repair itself?
We all know that dogs mature at different rates, often small breeds are fully grown by a year old, where a shepherd takes 15 to 24 months to finish growing. Maybe longer. Might that process take longer in larger breeds?
I really don't know.
This is a dog that runs and jumps and does everything, is pretty crazy really, and shows no sign of distress, now.
I would want to ensure that this problem is caused by ED/UAP and not pano which can happen concurrently with other problems.
In the end, you need to decide with your vet/specialist what the best course of action is for this dog. It is certainly possible that surgery is the best bet for your pet. I would read as much about the condition as possible and then make the specialist sell you the surgery. Have him tell you what the choices are, why it should be done at this point, what the long term prognosis is, etc.

Looking For Bystrom Motorcycle Accident Attorneys?
Motorcycles get more popular every year. Unfortunately the number of fatal motorcycle accidents is growing disproportionately to the number of new riders. Motorcycle riders face many unique challenges which drivers of other types of vehicles don't have to deal with.

Motorcycles lack many of the protections found in other vehicles such as air bags, safety belts and barriers between the road and the driver. As a result, when an accident happens, the injuries to the motorcycle rider and their passenger can be serious and often fatal.

Group incentive programs are award programs that deliver lump–sum cash payments, time–off awards, and/or informal recognition items to groups of employees who meet or exceed pre–established levels of organizational performance. Designing effective group incentive programs can be key to achieving organizational goals.
Group incentive programs can cover groups of employees as large as an entire agency or as small as a work unit or team. No matter how large or small the group, an incentive program should include the following design features:
Group incentive programs require reliable, accepted measures of performance. The program must express desired goals in terms of those measures. The measures can be quantitative or qualitative and are sometimes expressed in financial terms.
Group incentive programs must select a time frame to measure the group's performance, for example, annually or quarterly. Effective incentive programs ensure clear communication with employees about program time-frames and expectations.
Organizations should grant group incentives based on the goals established at the beginning of the performance period. Payouts are made at the end of the performance period each time a group meets or exceeds the established goal(s).
Programs should have clear, understandable payout formulas. If the goal requires some kind of financial gain or savings, those savings usually are split between the agency and the employees. If the goal is to improve performance to a certain level, organizations should distribute funds specifically budgeted for the incentive program.
High involvement of employees and their representatives at all stages of program design and implementation increases the likelihood that they will understand and accept the program. Involving employees has the unique advantage of allowing them to understand the overall objectives of the organization as well as their specific role in meeting those objectives.
Group incentives are powerful but time-consuming management tools. Organizations must commit to a high level of communication and participative management. The program's success depends on the level of upper-management support it receives.
In the Federal Government, agencies frequently use two forms of group incentive programs – gainsharing and goalsharing.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Omaha Piston, May 11, 2009.
Maybe Joe D should have waited until he finished his career.
Well now since the Lakers have completely annihilated the future hall of famer, even though no-one here will admit the similarities in CB's meltdown in the playoffs his last two year in Detroit, and his play in the last two games of this year playoffs. Fouling 3 point shooters, his production got progressively worse as the games went on. I think that CB is one of the one of the most charitable and nicest person in the NBA whom I will always appreciate for bringing that championship spirit to detroit, and then that winning attitude was replaced with something that I won't even attempt to describe in words.
You tell em' A.G.
Agree. CB is a class act. Was hoping Denver would pull it out. I hate the Lakers/Kobe and Cavs/Lebron. Lets go Magic. It would be great to be able to root for someone in the finals.
Chauncey is a great player, and one of my favorites, but have to agree with AG about CB's production. It sucks to see him go out like that, but unfortunatly he is used to having it all fall apart in the ECF.
4 straight years of winning 2 games in the Conf Finals for CB??? '06, '07, '08, '09 with a Finals game 7 loss in '05. Lot of heartache. It is a good thing for him that he got a ship or he would be the most frustrated man in the NBA.
What about Dice who went to one finals and three straight ECF's and does not have a SHIP to his credit. Now he may really be frustrated...especially if Adam Morrison wins a ring by sitting down at the end of the Laker bench in sharks skin suit and never breaks a sweat... CB will be the only player to go to seven straight conference finals and lose in game 6 of his last four .......
No one deserves a ring more than Dyess. And he takes the losses harder than anyone.
Denver really could have used Dyess against LA to knock down the J's that Martin was missing. The Lakers would have had to cover him. They also could have used him on Gasol.
He has been to the finals and won a championship...but his new nickname is: "The Conference Finalist"
That's cold
I don't think Dyess realized how good Denver was going to be. He should have gone.
If Denver had actually gone on to win the whole dang thing, the poll question is who would have been more upset? Joe D AI Kobe LeBron McDyess
Dyess would've slowed that team down. Birdman seems twice as athletic. - CB sure seems stuck where he is stuck. Try not to glote too much G.
Despite their regular season successes, neither Cola, Flip Sr or Karl could get their Billups led teams to win more than 10 games in the post season. So if you put it in perspective CB needed LB to get past the Conference finals ....and so did the Pistons
If we were LAL we would swallow our pride and would have rehired LB. I'm keeping my mouth shut on the CB debate. I'm tired LOL. I think it's clear how i feel anyway.
Too bad LB was under contract to the Bobcats at the beginning of the season, otherwise we could have swallowed it and rehired Larry like the Lakers did instead of going with the unproven MC. Mitch Cupcake knows a HOF'er when he sees one and quickly re-signed the Zen-master. Oh by the way LB's Bobcats swept Phil's Lakers in their 2 game series this season
To further the parallel, LB would have then started dating the owner's daughter.
But LB had a hot young wife and I almost certain that Davidson's daughter Marla is probably older than Larry??
You know how he likes drama though.

NorthSails Team dominating Belgium Speed Week
The first stop of the ISWC European Speed Tour in Gruissan, Belgium was clearly dominated by Team NorthSails.
Again the Team NorthSails on their WARP's proved right the development standing behind this sail, making it the most powerful racing weapon out there.
1st place: David Garrel (LUX-22)
2nd place: Thorsten Mallon (GER-818)
3rd place: Patrick van Hoof (B-52)
It was announced that after 16 years of success, this was the last Belgian Speed Week held in Gruissan by current organizers. We hope that someone else will take up the challenge and keep this fantastic and popular event going.

The battery life isn't the only disappointment either. The Storm has an accelerometer built into it, so the screen automatically switches orientation as you twist the device. And unlike the iPhone you can switch orientation no matter what you're doing - so if you'd rather navigate the basic BlackBerry OS in landscape, you can. Unfortunately the accelerometer is temperamental to say the very least. Sometimes the orientation simply refuses to switch, while other times it switches when you don't want it to.
There's one other issue with the Storm, and that's its lack of Wi-Fi. OK, I'll admit that Vodafone's HSDPA service is pretty damn good, but in the TrustedReviews offices for example, the best I could manage was GPRS, so I would have preferred for the Storm to switch to Wi-Fi for data while at the office. The lack of Wi-Fi is compounded if you plan on using your Storm abroad, where roaming data charges can be crippling - at least if you use a Wi-Fi hotspot you know exactly how much it's costing you, but that option is off the menu with the Storm.
The Storm is available exclusively on Vodafone, which means that you get arguably the best HSDPA network in the UK. If you go for a £40 per month 18 month contract you can get the Storm for free and get unlimited email and texts, along with 600 minutes of calls. That's a similar package to the £35 iPhone tariff, but of course you're paying almost £100 for the handset on that tariff, so the Storm measures up pretty well.
Despite all the issues and niggles, as I've already mentioned, I really like the Storm. This is a very good handset, and probably the closest that RIM has ever come to a true crossover device. But the Storm is just a whisker away from being a truly great handset, and one that really could have given the iPhone a real run for its money. As it stands, if you lust after the usability of the iPhone but need the functionality of the BlackBerry email client, the Storm will make you a very happy bunny.
RIM should be very proud of the BlackBerry Storm. Considering that this is the first touchscreen BlackBerry, it's a surprisingly accomplished device, and one that's often a joy to use. But there are issues with the Storm like the lack of Wi-Fi, temperamental accelerometer and disappointing battery life that take off some of the shine. Despite these problems, the Storm is still the closest real competitor to Apple's iPhone seen to date. Couple that with the legendary BlackBerry email client and I can see the Storm doing very well indeed.

I would be interested to find out what Riyad thinks when comparing the Touch HD and the Storm. They are a similar size and weight. Both are touch screen phones and both were given an 8 by TR. I am most concerned about useability and performance (I know, neither will be as good as the iphone but...). I assume Niall and Riyad must have discussed the two phones?
Another iPhone Stomper comes close....But no Cigar!
I wasn't expecting this to score as highly as it did, so bravo RIM.
If you need the extra 'power user' features of a Blackberry or Windows Mobile device then the Storm is undoubtedly the better handset overall. It's easier to use, is better built and, well, there are just countless reasons.
If you don't need the enterprise features then the overwhelming opinion in our office would be to get an iPhone, unless you're stuck on a contract or find the iPhone contracts too expensive.
Blackberry have always been the leader when it comes to push email, is this now still the case. I know with my I-Phone going via Yahoo push mail it now seems to be instant, I'm not sure if it's the latest firmware or something at Yahoo that has improved, but I ordered something on the internet and as soon as I clicked the Order button, my I-Phone bleeped, I couldn't believe it, I thought that can't be the order confirmation surely, but it was, and I believe a lot of phones now have push mail. So do you think Blackberry have lost there Ace card (push mail).
Push email is definitely more of a commodity nowadays so you could say Blackberry has lost its trump card. However, the whole Blackberry system is still very powerful when it comes to enterprise level stuff so if you're a business they still hold some advantages.
For joe bloggs on the street that just wants to pick up his personal email, Blackberry's are no better than any other smart phone in terms of capability. They're just good devices.
@trini - I have a Touch HD in the office as well, and as Ed says, the Storm is the better device. There's a lot to like about the Touch HD, but the lack of capacitive screen, and the need to still use a stylus when you drop down into Windows Mobile from TouchFlo is very frustrating.
I think that RIM has done a good job with the Storm, but I also think that with a bit more attention to detail, it could have brought a killer handset to market.
@Keith - Yes, BlackBerry email is still very much the best system, especially if you're a corporate user. You'll find that most companies have been using BlackBerry devices for years, so getting something like a Strom set up for you work email should be easy, while getting your IT department to allow iPhone usage is more of a challenge. Believe me, I know this from first hand experience!
BlackBerry devices are just as easy to setup and use for consumer email too, which makes a device like the Storm even more attractive. Considering that this is RIM's first touchscreen device, I'm expecting very good things for the next model.
How does the Storm compare to the Samsung Omnia? I've been looking to upgrade my phone as I'm nearing that period and have been researching the various different phones out there, such as the N96 (off the list now due to various reviews about it), the Omnia, Storm, iPhone (Though I'm with Vodaphone currently) etc.
Being the administrator of our company I already administer our Blackberry Enterprise server, but it also means that I have the luxury of tinkering with alternative devices. Which leads me to another question, does the Storm, or any other device such as the Omnia for that matter support multiple accounts, ie: an Exchange account as well as POP3 accounts?
Finally, and slightly off topic being that the Omnia is running the older version of Windows Mobile, would it be worth holding off for a new handset with an updated Windows Mobile build on it?
Thanks in advance!
@Reugne - I really don't like the Omnia. I find it cumbersome, slow and generally unintuitive to use. This is a shame, since I do feel that Samsung has the ability to create great handsets. I think that the Pixon is a better handset than the Omnia, but that's not really a smartphone, just a mobile phone with lots of features packed in and a touchscreen. Or an 8-megapixel camera with a phone built into it!
If it's a choice between the Storm and an Omnia, go for the Storm every time. If you've got the choice between an iPhone or a Storm, that's a bit more tricky. If you're keen to stick with Vodafone, then the Storm is a great option, although if you're not dead set on a touchscreen, the Bold is also worth considering.
As for the next Windows Mobile builds, I have it on good authority that Microsoft is well aware that it needs to raise its game. Whether that will happen in the next revision is doubtful, but our friends in Redmond are aware that they're being left behind by the likes of Apple, Google and even RIM.
Hi Riyad, First timer on here although an avid reader of your reviews for at least the last 3 years.
I have never used a blackberry before, but seriously considering buying one this weekend. Form of the handset has been an important factor to me always. So, i really like the clamshell Pearl 8220, but would you say that its worth sacrificing that personal likeness for 8220 Pearl and instead go for the Storm?
Does the storm support microSDHC or just microSD?
@ChaosDefinesOrder microSDHC (and therefore microSD with the tech being backwards - but not forwards - compatible).
I've read that Vodafone claims that with global roaming and their own 'superior' HSDPA, the need or desire for Wi-Fi is void. Here comes the however, is there any possible chance that they'd see the error of this logic and try reissuing the phone with built-in Wi-Fi, sometime in the future? Considering that the Storm is their 'big-gun' device, would this be more likely than cramming it into a future handset?
@Atchoo - Personally I'd take the Storm over the 8220 every time, but then I'm not a big fan of clamshell phones. Ultimately it depends what you intend to do with the handset. If you're not going to use it as a music and media player, and you're not going to be typing long emails, then the Storm may well be overkill.
That said, if you think that your needs may develop over time, you're better off with the Storm since it will grow with you, and probably improve with firmware too.
Someone please rewrite this review, I cant believe the score, did the reviewer use the phone ? I personally used this and I must say it rubish, and no where near the usability of the iphone, or other blackberrys. Ive just read a couple of more reviews on the net and they seem to feel what I feel. Dont touch this bad boy, It could of been good but all in all its a rushed hash.
@Andrew Stephens: And how long did you use the Storm to come to your conclusion?
@ Andy, for two nights, got my uncle at vodafone to loan a demo one to me. I don't know I guess I just see things differently to the reviewer.
Just a quick question. Why doesn't the person who writes the review be the one who does the video review? Just seems inconsistent to me, that's all. Is it because Ed loves being on camera!?
@Ohmz - In this case, it's because I simply don't have the time to shoot video right now. Writing reviews can be done in the early hours of the morning if needs be, and they often are in my case, shooting video at 3am isn't really an option. Well, not a sensible one anyway.
But of course, as you say, it's because Ed loves the camera too :)
I think Stephen Fry, a well known, long term geek and smart phone user sums this phone up better than most, "Been playing with the BB Storm. Shockingly bad. I mean embarrassingly awful. Such a disappointment. Rushed out unfinished. What a pity." I can't agree more !
I can only assume that Trusted Reviews recieved a different BB Storm to the many other reviewers who have reviewed this phone. Have a look at the New York Times review which is pretty typical of the reviews: www.nytimes.com/2008/11/27/...
They say"How did this thing ever reach the market? Was everyone involved just too terrified to pull the emergency brake on this train?"
@Francis Phillips - nope, but we saw the potential of the device and now a few weeks later and one firmware update and our points remain valid and the NTY looks rather stupid ;)
Come on you gave this a higher performance rating than the original iPhone ! How can this possibly be ? I think I would give my old psion siena a better rating. I love you guys at trusted and your reviews but this seems unrealistic and I feel many people may be disappointed if they get one on reading this review.
@Andrew Stephens - Of course the Storm got a higher performance rating than the original iPhone, since you can actually make phone calls on it. The signal strength for calls on the original iPhone is appalling - I know from first hand experience. Both myself and Hugo still have to go out to the car park every time we want to make a call, that's how bad it is. Thankfully this was fixed with the iPhone 3G, hence its higher scores.
@Francis Phillips - As Gordon says, looking at very early hardware in a review will always highlight issues that should not have been there. The early HTC Touch Diamond samples for instance were terrible, but firmware updates fixed many of those issues. Likewise early samples of the T-Mobile G1 had a lot of problems, which is why T-Mobile wouldn't send out review samples until it had retail boxed versions. And even then it proved to be a disappointing handset.
Personally I don't really care what other reviewers say, and I make a point of not reading other reviews until I've finished writing mine. But since you were keen to point out that other reviewers all thought it was a terrible device, I thought I'd grab a few quotes at random.
The Telegraph - "Research In Motion's first attempt at a touchscreen device, is a triumph. It's a really powerful device with plenty of clever features"
Gizmodo - "By trying to actually innovate rather than imitate, RIM has conjured up the phone most deserving of the title "iPhone killer"."
Wired - "The Storm, though, actually gets closest of any device we've ever laid hands on. And in one critical area it — get ready for it — it actually beats the iPhone."
The Times - "I really didn't think I could be impressed by a new touchscreen device. To my surprise, I was."
I have had this phone for 1 week now and sadly my SIM is back in my faithful Bold. I waited and waited for the release of this phone and was so delighted to finally get my hands on one.... The screen is wonderful, I played with the swiping action and then set about changing my PIN online.... Emails came through just as slick as ever. It all started going wrong when I tried to type, the portrait suretype keyboard was ok but a pain when entering non standard words and I quickly found the little editing trick of touching the keyboard for a few second to get a cursor just above your finger very useful. Too useful in fact as I had to correct almost every word. I use suretype on my wifes Pearl and have no issues with it even with the smaller keys. The landscape standard qwerty is surprisingly worse due to the smaller keys. You have to put your finger directly on top and this is hard to do if you used to a normall BB keyboard where you type with the side of your thumbs. I licked the clicking sensation so struggled on determined to get use to it. Web browsing was great the screen was good. But what about the 3meg camera, press the button to focus the light lights the camera focuses, you press harder to take the picture and then wait for 2-3 seconds before the light lights again and the picture is taken. I have loads of pictures of people walking away !! But the screen, the coolness I will struggle on. Day two - I had my "tunes" loaded only to find that the sound was not as loud as my Bold. I was using the excellent "buds" that came with the Bold as the ones supplied with the storm were not even worth taking out of the box!! Worth 50p at the most, when the Bold ones compare well to my Sennheiser's. Even with the volume boost enabled it was quieter. But still it looks so good and the screen, I struggled on determined to love it! At around 3pm that day when I had listened to music for 50 mins and made a quick 2 min call, the battery warning went! To be followed 30 mins later by BB's "Not enough power for radio use" warning. Maybe if it had a mini USB like all the other BB's I have owned I could have kept it on charge on my desk, but no mini USB instead micro USB, what a waste of 7 BB chargers from previous phones... I had to put my SIM back into my Bold and the first call I made? You guessed it Vodafone 14 day returns... Who offered me all manner of Batteries and chargers to keep it (no doubt becasue of similar calls) , but what is the point of a mobile phone that needs to be tethered by wires. I don't expect a phone to last for days and days, I am happy to charge every night. (especially as BB had a cool bedside feature) I am dissapointed, really dissapointed! I have loved all of my 7 Blackberries. I get teased for being a "crackberry fan boy"! I have been with Vodafone for over a decade and would not be persuaded to move to another network. Its such as shame that the Storm did not live up to the idea behind it. I am sure they will get it right with the Storm 2. But if your thinking of getting one, don't. My Bold has forgiven my little affair and we are reunited once again, Blackberries are all about reliability and typing. The Bold is a much better bet.

Cougs to play Wyoming in home-and-home on gridiron
Washington State University and the University of Wyoming will play a home-and-home football series beginning in 2015, it was announced by both schools Thursday.
The first meeting of the two-game series is scheduled for Sept. 12, 2015 at Martin Stadium with the setting shifting to Laramie for the Sept. 1, 2018 return game.
"The Wyoming series falls in line with my goal to add quality nonconference opponents for our football program," said WSU Director of Athletics Bill Moos. "With future series that include Wisconsin and Boise State, in addition to games against Auburn and BYU, this series will complement our future nonconference schedules."
The Cougars hold a 3-2 series advantage over the Cowboys, with all games coming during the span from 1962 -1990. The last meeting resulted in a 34-13 win by the Cowboys in 1990 at Martin Stadium. The Cougars own a 2-0 mark when playing in Laramie while they are 1-2 in Pullman.

I have been trying (with limited success) to photograph flames dancing in a Wood Burning Stoves. What shutter speed would you recommend? I have been finding that while I can get good lighting and colour for the flames in the fire itself, the Wood Burning Stoves and the rest of the room are over-exposed. Any assistance gratefully received!

I want to ask what kind of good activities will be best for the development of my baby while I'm pregnant.:)
I want to ask what kind of good activities will be best for the development of my baby while I'm pregnant.:)
Good development for baby starts with good nutrition and lifestyle for mum. You'll want to be sure you're taking a high quality prenatal vitamin, reducing your sugar intake, and eating at least one great big vegetable salad (green salad) every day. High quality animal protein is very important as well. Be sure your grains are whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat flour, quinoa, etc. and limit the simple carbs like crackers, cookies, muffins, pancakes, etc.
Drinking a green smoothie each day can be very healthy for you and baby, and eating high quality nuts and quality fats like avocado will give you a "full" feeling while providing good nutrition.
Sodas will deplete your calcium because they are high in phosphorous, so stay away from soda and drink water and fruit juice instead. Calcium is taken from your body to create baby's bones, so preserve your calcium.
As for other things that can be beneficial for baby while in the whom - you should talk to your baby and sing to your baby and play soothing music for baby.
Please let me know if you find this information helpful.
Warm Regards,
Thanks that was helpful..:o I'm 5 Months pregnant now and I was wondering what is the best activity to do while my baby is in my whomb. I guess I'll try singing and soothing music for my baby.;) By the way do you have any advice of what kind of music could help develop the learning capability of a baby? If there is anything like that. I just remembered reading something but it was long time ago, there are kinds of music or activities that can help develop the learning capability of a baby while there are still in the womb of a mother.
Soothing music like Mozart is what is recommended to stimulate baby's senses and improve brain development in-vitro. So just use soft music and talk to your baby often - this is what I would do.
Warm Regards,
Thank you. I have been listening to music lately and talking a lot with my baby. The music also help me relax.:)
Ahhh - relaxation is SO important. So glad you're relaxing and talking to your baby. I found that it helped me to bond with my babies more.
Are you going to find out what you're having before baby is born?

Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State to be 2010 Wayne Law Commencement Speaker
DETROIT (March 12, 2010) – Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State and former Yale Law School Dean Harold Hongju Koh will speak at Wayne State University Law School's annual Commencement Ceremony on Monday, May 17, 2010. Dean Koh will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at the ceremony.
The ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit.
"I am delighted to welcome Dean Koh to our Commencement Ceremony and am pleased that our students will have the opportunity to hear from one of the world's most renowned scholars on international law," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "His presence at our Commencement Ceremony is a crowning achievement to our Program for International Legal Studies' inaugural year."
"I am humbled and honored by this recognition and look forward to addressing the graduating class," said Legal Adviser Koh. "Wayne State has an outstanding international and comparative law faculty and a stirring vision for international law study."
Harold Hongju Koh was confirmed by the Senate as Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State on June 25, 2009. Before joining the Administration, Koh was Dean of Yale Law School, where he continues, while on leave, as Martin R. Flug '55 Professor of International Law.
He began teaching at Yale Law School in 1985 and served from 2004 until 2009 as its 15th dean. From 1998 to 2001, he served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and previously had served on the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Public International Law. Before joining Yale, he practiced law at Covington and Burling from 1982-83 and at the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice from 1983-85.
Dean Koh is a leading expert on public and private international law, national security law and human rights. He has argued before the United States Supreme Court and the International Court of Justice, and he has testified before the U.S. Congress more than 20 times. He has been awarded 11 honorary doctorates and three law school medals and has received more than 30 awards for his human rights work. He is author or co-author of eight books and more than 150 articles on international human rights, international business transactions, national security and foreign affairs law, international trade, international organizations, international law and political science, and procedure. He was also the editor of The Justice Harry A. Blackmun Oral History Project (1994-95).
Dean Koh is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, an Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, a former Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and a member of the Council of the American Law Institute. He has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Century Foundation. He has sat on the Board of Overseers of Harvard University and sits on the Boards of Directors of the Brookings Institution, Human Rights First, the American Arbitration Association, and the National Democratic Institute. He has been named one of America's "45 Leading Public Sector Lawyers Under The Age of 45" by American Lawyer magazine and one of the "100 Most Influential Asian-Americans of the 1990s" by A magazine.
A Korean-American native of Boston, he holds a B.A. from Harvard College and B.A. and M.A. degrees from Magdalen College, Oxford University, where he was a Marshall Scholar.
