Colorado personhood amendment: 3 letters
Re: "'Human' doesn't mean the same as 'person,'" Dec. 2 letter to the editor.
Letter-writer Bruce Fast's assertion that personhood is "somehow related to consciousness" is fundamentally flawed. If consciousness were a prerequisite for moral status as a person, one would have to exclude many human beings to whom we do ordinarily confer that status, such as persons in reversible coma. If "connection to other people" or "being woven into the social fabric" are required, it could be argued that the homeless and mentally disabled are less than persons. If reason were required, infants and persons with senile dementia would not be considered to have full moral standing. Read more…

Hill, Lind and Snider: Toronto's Young Guns
If the Blue Jays are going to have a fighting chance in 2010 and beyond, they are going need their young guns to deliver. Aaron Hill, Adam Lind, and Travis Snider are undoubtedly the pillars of the offensive charge moving forward for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Combined, these young guns accounted for 38 percent of all home runs hit by the Blue Jays in 2009. If their success is going to continue, all three must continue to perform well – and that includes the ability to take any pitcher out of the yard.
Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what the home run distribution was like for Aaron Hill, Adam Lind and Travis Snider inside the Rogers Centre and on the road. There really isn't a lot of analyzing to do here, but it's interesting to see where the majority of their home runs landed.
If it seemed like a lot of Aaron Hill's home runs barely cleared the left field wall, it's because they did. Hill only ever once hit one over the fence anywhere than left field, and most of them were relatively shallow.
Travis Snider, on the other hand, showed some pop and went opposite field numerous times at home in 2009. Distribution is about even from left to right field, which is very promising for Snider.
When it comes to the Adam Lind data, it's easy to see why he's such a versatile hitter. He has power to all parts of the field, even dead centre field on multiple occasions. Lind could easily take almost any pitch and deposit it over the fence in any part of the ballpark.

FRITZ!Box 5490 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
When making calls, you can hear the number being redialed after other party has already answered
When you make calls, a cordless telephone redials the number of the party you are calling after they have already answered. Both parties can hear the sounds being generated. If an answering machine takes the call, it interprets the sounds made when the number is redialed as commands (for example PIN entry, remote message playback).
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Cordless telephone does not comply with the DECT standard
The telephone is not fully DECT-GAP-compatible. When a telephone connection has been established, the FRITZ!Box signalizes the "Connect" status to the telephone. This means: "The connection has been established, no further dialing information is required". However, the telephone still redials the number.
Note:DECT-GAP is a common standard for cordless telephones and wireless data transmission. All FRITZ!Fon models support this standard.
- Click "DECT" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Base Station" in the "DECT" menu.
- Enable the option "Enable troubleshooting for cordless telephones not compatible with GAP".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.

Watch online as historic A&M coliseum is torn down in College Station
Right now on Texas A&M's Kyle Field website you can watch the G. Rollie White Coliseum being dismantled by a crew using heavy machinery.
The historic coliseum, the site of rock concerts and college graduations, is being demolished to make way for the new Kyle Field.
The camera went online last Thursday as demolition work began.
Right now, the crews look to be tearing down the front entrance of the building with cranes. A team of hoses is spraying water on the fallen brick and metal to reduce dust. A green fence is surrounding to the coliseum to protect the adjacent streets.
All in all, it should be a fun way to kill time at your desk for the next few days.

The article by Larry Purdy posted below about the pro-quota brief filed by a small group of retired military officers in the University of Michigan cases is well worth reading. Buried in the middle of the piece is Purdy's critique of the officers' suggestion that the military needs black officers to provide leadership for black enlisted personnel. The implication is that blacks won't fight as hard unless they are led by black officers, or at least unless they see that blacks are represented in the officer corps to some pre-determined degree. This strikes me as either a slander against black enlisted personnel or a damning indictment of the quality of that personnel — most likely the former. It would take more than the say-so of a few retired officers to convince me that morale is adversely affected by the absence of racially balanced representation among officers. As Purdy suggests, the discriminatory selection of officers who are less than the best is surely the greater threat to morale.
In the unlikely event that the implication of the retired officers' brief is true, the ex-officers should not be reinforcing, much less pandering to, these racist attitudes. Rather they should be thinking about some rather drastic reforms to combat the unacceptable attitudes they have described.

The Art of Letting Go
There is an expression: "Everything is over." You may say this with sadness. Or perhaps, you say with relief: "Now I wash my hands of that."
Here's the thing: Every experience you have embeds itself in you. So, in one sense, nothing is ever over. You may forget. You certainly move on from the past, yet the experience has made its mark.
Of course, the mark of every experience is how you see it. If you see an experience differently from the way you used to, the mark it leaves is configured differently. So, all the past is as you see it. All you experience in life is your impression of it. You see what you see. There is more than one way to see the same thing. Whether you see a rogue or an angel, it is your perception. Your perception leaves its trademark.
You, the interpreter, interpret. Whatever your interpretation of an incident or all of life may be, this is how you see it, and that is the truth for you. In years to come, you may see differently. You may naturally come to see a mother or father, for example, in a different light. Life has given you greater understanding, and now you have a second impression. It is good to have gained understanding, yet this, is not something you can command. You cannot wrest new understanding from yourself.
You would love the idea of letting go of all that you may have collected. You would love to be done with it. You would love it to be over. You would love it to be gone.
You may well have consciously put your past behind you. I invite you to let it go. Let bygones be bygones as best as you can at any given moment.
At the same time, with that being said, so much of your present experiences are reflections from the past. We could say that you may be following old signals. Against your present will, you may still be following old signals. Old signals may not be so easy to rub off.
Even so, people who were not treated as lovingly as We wish they had been, there are many who have risen above their earlier perceptions.
From ashes, consummate kindness can grow. From impatience, patience can reveal itself. From anger, love can flourish. Even a rose has thorns and, yet, a rose is still beautiful.
So despite the marks of the past that remain, roses grow, and peace in your heart can also grow. All that you desire can grow. Growing does not require constant effort. Effort doesn't work that well in subtle matters of the heart.
What you want to achieve usually comes from desire. Desire peace in your heart. I am here to tell you that erasing negative effects from the past is possible. You can, and you have, and you will.
There may be smudges left after the erasure of the past. The effects of past experience and earlier interpretations do lighten. Despite smudges, ugly swans of the past can become beautiful.
All can rise above the ashes. You do this every day. You may chew gum all day, and there comes a time when you toss it away. There may be taste left in your mouth, yet the taste fades.
Life is like the water that washes you. Water flows, and it takes away impediments. Water can wear away boulders. You can't see boulders eroding before your very eyes, yet you can know very well, sight unseen, that boulders are eroding.
Anything and everything is possible in Heaven and on Earth. This means that there is nothing impossible. There is nothing impossible for you.
Desire, and what you desire can come forth. What you desire does not HAVE to come forth. If your desire HAS to come forth, you are holding on to it. You can't let go by holding on. It is not that life owes you anything. It is that you can let your demands go as with a light stroke of a paint brush, ever so gently.
Life on Earth is another name for the Art of Letting Go.

See Lady Gaga's Pop Up Store in Japan for Fame Fragrance
Japan had all the early fun when it comes to Lady Gaga's Fame fragrance. Fame -- the world's first-ever black perfume -- launched with a pop-up store in Tokyo on Tuesday (Aug. 1.) It was like a perfume party for Gaga's adorable minions.
Gaga also shared the second print ad, where she was poured into a glossy, second-skin, black catsuit, earlier this week. Clearly, the Fame promotional campaign is in full effect, firing on all cylinders.
Apparently, nearly 2,000 little monsters were on hand to catch a spritz and a whiff of Fame and they waited nearly 40 hours to inhale the sweet scent. Unfortunately, the Mother Monster herself was not onsite engaging in a little olfactory fun with her Harajuku monsters; but she did tweet her love and thanks for their undying support.
Check out footage, captured by those fashionistas at ELLE Japan, from the event, where little monsters of all genders, shapes, sizes and costumes showed up to experience the scent of Eau de Gaga.
Fame is coming to the U.S. very soon, American-based little monsters, so be patient. Indulge in this video for a minute and get amped up for the U.S. launch.
Gaga's tweet of thanks to her Harajuku monsters is below.
Thank u so much for yesterday Tokyo. 1800 Harajuku Monsters waited in line for for over 40 hours at the Plaza for fragrance launch i love u!

No-one would doubt Spain's superiority at the moment - they won all their Confederations Cup group matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding only one.
They won their matches with absolute dominance as well, not giving their opponent many chances to hold the ball, let along scoring.
On the contrary, Italy had scored eight and conceded eight. Their defence was a mess in their remarkable 4-3 victory over Japan and 4-2 defeat against Brazil. Many were thinking Thursday's match would only be a repeat of Euro 2012 final, when Spain outclassed Italy 4-0.
This changed today when Cesare Prandelli changed the team system to a 3-4-2-1, with Christian Maggio as right wing-back and Emanuele Giaccherini on the left.
This not only ensured a better teamwork among the defenders – the Juventus trio of Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci – but also fully capitalised on Maggio's ability to go up and down the right bank.
Spain's Jordi Alba won praise for his speed and attacking power, but much like Gareth Bale a few years ago, he often forgot that he was a left-back and not a left-winger.
In the first-half Italy basically relied on Maggio as their main attacking force, be it crossing or those two golden opportunities of headers, precisely because there was much space in Spain's left after Alba went up. The threat from Maggio only minimised when Alba ceased going up front in the second half.
The introduction of Antonio Candreva on the pitch was also a big plus for Prandelli's team. He helped Maggio a lot on the right on both attacking and defending. The cheeky chip on the penalty shoot-out added to his brilliant display.
With Mario Balotelli injured, Alberto Gilardino took the role as the sole striker. Honestly speaking, no-one expected him to be another Super Mario, but the Bologna striker did a good job in holding the ball and waiting for the midfielders to come forward. His role wasn't to put the ball in the net, but to draw defenders away from the box so players like De Rossi and Giaccherini could have a chance to shoot.
De Rossi was the unsung hero, and he proved his presence mattered to the team. He was Andrea Pirlo's best partner in midfield. When Pirlo was expectedly pressed by the Spaniards, De Rossi took the role of creating chances. When Barzagli was injured, he took the role of centre-defender – a role he was no stranger to – tactically this made Prandelli's life easier, although Italy clearly missed him in midfield in the second half, as Spain got more space to pass the ball.
Riccardo Montolivo could not do much as the whole team started slowing down, and Alberto Aquilani was a disappointment of the tournament so far.
The team, as a whole, knew how to contain Spain. Minus the extra-time, when the heat and fatigue took over, Spain had not created many chances. Instead of deploying man-marking on Andres Iniesta or David Silva, Prandelli chose to push the midfielders back to create a solid wall ahead of the defence line.
This effectively eliminated Spain's tactic of tiki-taka football, as they could not find enough space. At this point, the match became much more similar to the 1-1 group stage draw in Euro 2012, rather than the one-sided final.
In fact, Spain's first shot on-target came at 57min, and by the 90min mark they only had half the number of shots Italy had made – a rare occurrence to a team that used to dominate the pitch.
Giaccherini and Maggio created much trouble for Spain, and it was a pity Italy could not score in the first half. They should have led by at least two goals by the end of the first forty-five minutes. Again, they were not clinical enough.
It was hard to blame them for succumbing to heat and fatigue during extra-time. Spain were a younger team and had much better stamina, and losing on penalties only meant they had played equally with the reigning world champion.
The battle for third place with Uruguay was essentially a meaningless match. Prandelli should considering letting youngsters like Davide Astori, Stephen El Shaarawy and Salvatore Sirigu play.
They are potential team members for the World Cup next year, and it would be best for them to gain some experience. After all, the target has always been 2014.

Everybody falls into a career rut at some point...
It happens to everyone. You're cruising along nicely. Then, all of a sudden, you're trapped and confused. You're feeling like a failure and don't know how to fix it.
We call those, "career ruts," and they're very common. Big or small, they creep up on you when you least expect it, sucking all the career confidence out of you in the process. They often happen when you're:
- Job searching
- Interviewing
- Writing a resume
- Writing a cover letter
- Using LinkedIn
- Choosing a career
- Negotiating salary
- Networking
- Getting fired
- Getting laid off
- Starting a new job
- Getting a promotion
- Climbing the ladder
- Navigating co-worker conflicts
- Handling management issues
Let's be clear... career ruts are NOT your fault!
Honestly, with so much to navigate in your career, it's no wonder these ruts occur.

Meanwhile, to ensure only essential traffic is served until things settle, National Guard troops are manning three checkpoints on the one overburdened route expected to remain available.
The heavily damaged main roads leading in and out of town - U.S. 34 and U.S. 36 - will remain closed "indefinitely," according to Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Ashley Mohr.
"Hopefully we will have a better time frame for how long the highways will be shut down" after engineers survey the roads, Mohr said.
For now, residents have two ways to get in and out of town: the high-altitude Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park, and the narrow, winding Colorado Highway 7. It's unclear how long the seasonal alpine highway through the park will remain open, connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake, where mail is being held.
CDOT engineers attempted to survey damaged areas by helicopter Monday because the roads were inaccessible to vehicles. Large portions of the highways, perhaps 200 or more feet in places, were washed away and bridges were damaged, Mohr said.
Repairs will cost millions of dollars, Mohr estimated.
"We want to rebuild roads as fast as possible, make them better and for the best cost we can," said Eric Brown, spokesman for Gov.
CDOT officials are allowing only "essential visitors," including emergency personnel, delivery trucks and residents into town via Colorado 7, Mohr said.
Officials quickly repaired potholes and cleared debris from Colorado 119, Colorado 72 and Colorado 7 to create the path to Estes Park. The road is not prepared to handle tremendous amounts of traffic, Mohr said.
"It was the lowest hanging fruit," Mohr said, describing the decision to open this route. "We knew we could get that one open."
The National Guard is stationed at three checkpoints along the way to ensure only the right people are getting to town.
"This is truly a high priority, it's a critical priority, to get people in and out of Estes Park," said Larimer County Commissioner Lew Gaiter. "The life and safety of the citizens is paramount."
The repair and cleanup are only getting under way, but officials are looking forward and planning for the future. Snowfall is only about 30-45 days away, Gaiter said.
"As the weather gets worse, the little back road that people are using will become less viable," Gaiter said. "We have a race against Mother Nature."
Estes Park, which depends on tourism dollars, is asking that visitors not attempt to get to town right now.
"As much as we would like to welcome visitors to the community, this is not the time to visit Estes Park as our community infrastructure is compromised and our resources must be focused on response and recover to this disaster of history proportions," according to a message posted to the town's Facebook page Monday.
"Estes Park is a fairly stable community, so if you're stuck there, you're going to be OK for a little while," Gaiter said. "The challenge that we are looking at, we've got not just the survival for the people in the community, but the tourist traffic is the lifeblood of this community."

A: It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy. It has a wonderful fusion and special effects and comedy, which is very rare. Usually, when you get big special effects pictures, sci-fi and things, there's little or no comedy. Or it's a domestic comedy and there's not one special effect like "Knocked Up." But very rarely do these things fuse and come out right.
Q: You were able to do it with "Spaceballs." What's the trick?
A: I'd say the trick is talent. Andreas Voutsinas said that to me when we were making "The Producers" in 1968 he played Carmen Ghia, the gay roommate of the very gay director Roger De Bris. I said, "How do these things work, Andreas?" And he said, "Or you got it or you ain't." I said, "You're Greek, Andreas. We don't start sentences with 'or' in America."
But he was absolutely right. It's talent. Either you got it or you ain't. Give someone else the premise of "Blazing Saddles" and you'd probably get only the vulgarity. Only the farting scene. Give it to me and my cohorts and the engine is the prejudice against the black sheriff that drives the movie. So you've got to know how to do it.
Q: A lot of your projects have been getting remade recently. Do you go to them or do they come to you?
A: It's all haphazard. Someone called me up and said, "They're making a movie of 'Get Smart.' " I said, "Oh, really? What are they going to call it?" They said, "'Get Smart.' " I said, "That was wise."
Because they did do a movie based on "Get Smart" about 20 years ago called "The Nude Bomb." I said, "That's foolish."
Q: You didn't have any say in the title?
A: No, not at all. I had nothing to do with it. They never even called me! This one, they called me from Day One. They said, "What do you think of this?" Or "What do you think of that?" And I'd say yay or nay.
It's got a good director, Peter Segal. Wonderful director. The writers were great. The producers were young and aggressive and smart. But the brilliance is Steve Carell. To choose a guy who's right in the Don Adams groove. You couldn't get a better guy than Steve Carell. And yet he doesn't do Don Adams. He does none of his delivery. He just does Steve Carell.
Q: It seems like the premise is strong enough to have multiple interpretations of Maxwell Smart.
A: It's the earnest stupidity of organizations like the CIA. I would say honest and earnest stupidity. They want to do a good job. But they don't hire enough [multicultural people]. They hire too many WASPs and they get too much white-bread thinking.
Q: And this was true back in 1965 as well as today.
A: Exactly! Buck Henry and I thought if we could just get some hip thinking, maybe a borscht belt comic. They didn't want a back story for Agent 86, but I provided one. I said he works the Buffalo Lodge. And he's a drummer in the band. And he also does the line, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I met a girl who was so skinny, the waiter said 'Check your umbrella.' " They never used that back story. In my mind, I had a more protean, rich background guy. Rather than the Harvard-educated guy. Someone with street smarts.
And that's the problem today with organizations like the CIA and the FBI.
Q: How do you feel that 40-some years later, the situation hasn't improved as far as the CIA being out of touch?
A: It's true. They're still out of touch. In a strange way, they're still kind of supermen, kind of SS troops: We're blond and the best and everyone else should be incinerated. They argue about waterboarding! Is it right to shove water up a person's nostrils? Or maybe we shouldn't do it as much. Or maybe we should do half as much water up his nostrils. They just simply don't see the picture. They don't know right from wrong. That's what makes a satire of these government bureaus really funny.
Q: Does "Get Smart" have a fan following in the spy community?
A: I once met somebody from the CIA who said they were very big fans. He said "I work for the Department of Transportation" Then he winked and said, "It's really CIA." I said, "OK, OK. Maybe there's more money in transportation. You should go there." He said all the CIA guys loved the show. I thought they'd hate it. Maybe they're smarter than I thought.
Q: Do you want to upset them?
A: No. It's not important to me what they feel. I'm not mad at them. My job is to go out and entertain the most people possible. The job is to make people laugh. I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn. They're fuel for me. I'm glad they're dumb. It's good stuff for me.
Q: When you're pitching joke ideas to the makers of "Get Smart" is it intimidating for them? Do they humor you and then not use it?
A: That's normal. That's part and parcel of our business from day one. Where the powers that be, the producers, say, "Oh, love it, love it, love it." And then you never see it again.
My son Max Brooks wrote for a couple years on "Saturday Night Live." He said there were 18 writers, like puppies trying to get to their mother's teats, trying to get one joke in. And the powers there would say yay or nay. Max had a million great ideas. So three years later, he had a great idea for a book, "The Zombie Surival Guide." And when he asked whether he could take six weeks off to go on a book tour and he would come back, they said, "No, what do you love your books? Do you love your thoughts? Or do you love 'SNL'?" And he said, that's an easy one. And he left and went on his tour and he's been happy ever since. He's not one of 18 or 20 writers struggling to get one lousy joke onto a show. It's awful.
He would sleep with a sleeping bag under the desk at NBC to be available.
Q: Was it like that back in the days when you were a comedy writer?
A: No. There were three of us. Mel Tolkin, Lucille Kallen and Mel Brooks in 1950 and we wrote the Admiral Broadway Revue, the precursor to "Your Show of Shows." Three of us! With the help, of course, of the producer Sid Caeser.
FOR THE RECORD: An earlier version of this story misspelled Sid Caesar as Sid Ceaser.
Q: Were the hours as grueling?
A: No. We were young and stupid. We just poured our heart out. I don't know if we worked as many hours as the 'SNL' writers. We certainly gave it all we had. The strange thing was, we'd do the show on Saturday and on Saturday afternoon, we'd do a dress rehearsal with an audience to keep whatever we could in the show. The dress rehearsal was at one in the afternoon and it ran for an hour and a half. And then around 3 p.m. we'd begin rewriting the show. And we'd go on again at 7 p.m. and we'd have four hours of nonstop thinking and correcting and writing and rewriting. But we always had a pretty good show.
Q: You produced the 1986 remake of "The Fly" and your son wrote the zombie thriller "World War Z." Is horror a Brooks family passion?
A: [Max's] got a lot of comedy in him. But his real passion and love, I guess, is zombies. I'm more of a World War II geek than I am of a horror geek. That's my avocation. Max is also. Max knows more about German and Russian submarines than anybody alive. The brilliance of Max Brooks is that he always quotes authorities at the back of his books that never existed. Like a Russian professor he made up that validates a story or character. He has maybe 200 "authorities" and he makes every one of them up. That's so brilliant.
Q: Maxwell Smart's shoe phone once seemed so ridiculous But now we have cell phones that could easily be shoes.
A: I guess Buck Henry and I actually invented the cell phone. We didn't know we were doing that. We still haven't gotten any royalties from that or the Cone of Silence. And I think they did a great job with the Cone of Silence in the movie. They super-teched it.
Q: Were you trying to predict future spy-tech with these gadgets?
A: I don't know. I stole it from Dick Tracy. I think Dick Tracy had a watch that was a TV watch or a radio watch. And he communicated through this watch. I thought that's too simple and too nice. Let's put his communicator device in his shoe. And it worked.
We were very lucky to get Don Adams. Around one season on NBC and they cancelled it. For some reason they couldn't find a proper replacement. And no one knew about the show, so they threw it on another season. And the second season it caught fire. They kept it for the run, and then in the last year CBS took it over.
Q: How difficult is it to Maxwell Smart stupid?
A: You want to be as smart as you can about being stupid. Peter Segal and the writers respect the audience. And I have always thought there were a lot of people in the audience were smarter than I was. I was watching "Blazing Saddles" with an audience and when they exploded, I thought, these people are as smart as I am. In writing comedy, I've never written down. I've always written as hard as I could.
Q: "Get Smart" was on all the four networks at one time or another.
A: I never knew that. Until you told me just now.
Q: If the movie is a hit, is the plan to take the sequels around to each of the different studios?
A: No. But that's a good idea. I'm writing it down. I'm going to tell them to do that and I want a piece of the action.
Q: When you meet the public, which of your projects do you find yourself talking about the most?
A: "Spaceballs." I don't know why. They are always talking about Just Plain Yogurt and President Skroob. The young people see it. Older people will talk to me about "Blazing Saddles." But little kids will always have a "Spaceballs" reference. In fact, we're doing "Spaceballs" as an animated series. I'm doing two voices: Just Plain Yogurt and President Skroob who isn't that far from the Bush administration.

text: Valvular Disease The heart's valves open and close to keep blood flowing properly, with oxygenated blood flowing into the heart and blood needing oxygen flowing out. Valve disease occurs when the heart's valves do not function properly. Some disorders cause stenosis (narrowing) or obstruction of the valves, which forces the heart to work harder to pump blood to the body. Other valve disorders are characterized by the inability of valves to close completely. These regurgitation or insufficiency disorders allow blood to leak back through the valve into the heart. St. Joseph Hospital offers the latest therapies and treatments for valve disorders, from drug therapies to the most advanced open-heart surgery techniques. Valve Disorder Diagnostic Services After you have described your symptoms and your physician has performed a physical examination, any one of several diagnostic tests may be used to diagnose and determine the severity of the valve disease and your current heart health. These diagnostic procedures may include an echocardiogram, Doppler ultrasound, or a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). The registered cardiac diagnostic sonographers (RDCS) and technicians who administer our TEEs, ultrasounds, and echocardiograms are specially trained to work with both adult and pediatric patients. Treatment A number of medical treatments can be used to manage valve disorders, depending on the severity of illness. Medications that improve the heart's ability to pump, regulate its rhythm, or reduce its workload are often helpful in alleviating symptoms. Antibiotics are also necessary before any procedure that may cause bleeding in order to reduce the chance for infective endocarditis, an infection that affects the valves. The experienced cardiologists at St. Joseph Hospital work with patients to identify the medications that would be most effective in managing symptoms and protecting the heart valves from further damage. Other treatments include invasive procedures such as balloon valvuloplasty, which may be used to relieve stenosis, or narrowing, of the heart valves. The St. Joseph Hospital's Cardiac Catheterization Lab has historically been referred to as one of the best in the region and is staffed by experienced and highly skilled physicians. Invasive cardiac services are provided in four procedure suites. Both pediatric and adult patients are served. Valve Disease Cardiovascular Surgery Valve surgery is performed to repair valve defects or replace malfunctioning valves in order to restore proper blood flow through the heart. In valve repair surgery, a surgeon may trim the valve, sew it to make it tighter, or patch the defect, depending on the deformity. During valve replacement, a damaged valve is removed and an animal, human or mechanical valve is implanted in its place. The adult and pediatric cardiac surgery programs at St. Joseph Hospital offer a complete range of valve repair and replacement procedures.

Ryan Dosier - As you all surely remember, on Tuesday I discussed the first two days of my trip to Walt Disney World. Well I'm back again (go figure) to share with you my experiences in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom (again), and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Ready? Well hop in your flying elephant and let's go!
Disney's Animal Kingdom
Unsurprisingly, this was an extremely lackluster day for Muppet stuff. Considering there is virtually zero Muppet representation within this park, I was completely surprised to see some Animal, Kermit, and Fozzie plushes displayed fairly prominently within one of the DinoLand U.S.A. gift shops. I have no idea why they were there, but they were the only Muppets I saw in Animal Kingdom.
But I did meet Jiminy Cricket in Animal Kingdom, so the park wasn't a total bust.
Magic Kingdom, Day 2
There was nothing that would be able to stop me from seeing Kermit and Miss Piggy in the Honorary VoluntEARS Parade at the Magic Kingdom today. That's why at 1:00, two hours before the parade started, I dragged my party to the top of the Main Street railroad station for some absolutely perfect seats to view the parade. (Okay, so it was my brother's idea to sit up there. Like he's going to read this anyway!)
Our view of Magic Kingdom atop the Main Street Railroad Station
So as we waited, my antsy brother had to get up to go get popcorn for himself. Much to my surprise, he returned with a souvenir cup with the same design and picture as the popcorn bucket I mentioned earlier. It was a pain in the neck to carry around all day (I almost left it on Space Mountain), but it was a nice gesture on my brother's part.
Finally, 3:00 struck and the parade began. I was thrilled to see that the Volunteer portion was the very first thing out of the gate. On a side note, if you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World anytime soon and want to catch this show, they aren't kidding when they say it starts at 3:00. You'll want to make sure you're there early.
Anyway, out come the frog and the pig and I'm thrilled to death and waving (because I know they can see me) and then I remember that I need to take pictures... so here are those pictures I remembered to take!
It was so much fun to see the crowd watching the parade react to a real Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy right in front of them. It was tremendous to see so many people giving Sweetums high-fives and stopping him (in the middle of the parade!) to take pictures with him. I came to one conclusion after seeing this parade, and it's that we need to see more Muppets in the Disney Parks. Whether it's just in a daily parade like this, or if the characters do silent meet and greets--I think Disney-goers would eat it up. So... get on that Disney people!
More pictures of Kermit and Piggy and Sweetums (along with most of the pictures from my trip) are available on the new Muppet Mindset Photobucket account!
Disney's Hollywood Studios
This was obviously the biggest amount of Muppet stuff in one place (thanks to Muppet*Vision 3D). Aside from all of the wonderful atmospheric elements of the Muppet*Vision outside area along with the lobby area, there is also a gift shop right outside of the show where you can, presumably, buy Muppet stuff.
All of the Muppet stuff you can buy, however, is on one very small side of the rather large store. I was severely disappointed by the sparse amount of Kermit merchandise I could buy. Aside from the stuff seen at Magic Kingdom mentioned in Part 1, here there were t-shirts of Kermit, Fozzie, and Rizzo as their Star Wars personas (Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and Yoda) with clever little quips on each shirt (I was not impressed), two different Beaker t-shirts, a Sam the Eagle "Bald and Proud" t-shirt, two different Animal t-shirts, and a group t-shirt (which I bought, pictured at right).
Other than t-shirts there was... well, not much. There were drumsticks with Animal on them, a glass with Kermit's face on it, keychains and magnets with Statler and Waldorf that read, "Old... It Sure Beats Dead!", Pepe and Miss Piggy's books, and, shockingly enough, Jim Henson: The Works, the incredible 1993 that I haven't seen for sale anywhere. But... yeah, that's it. No Miss Piggy girly merchandise, hardly any fun Kermit stuff, one Gonzo in the form of a plush, no Swedish Chef cooking items--zip, zilch, nada limonada! (Yes, I just called you lemonade.) A true testament to how little the store had is in the fact that I only bought the group t-shirt and the Kermit glass (because it was $6.00)--I buy anything Muppety!
But I still have faith that more merchandise is coming and I just caught the store in its in-between phase. I'm sure that once the new movie comes out the Muppet*Vision store will be flooded with Muppet stuff (and hopefully stores we can go to every day will too).
Well, unfortunately, that's all I've got for Muppet stuff in Walt Disney World. I wish I had more, but, alas, I do not.
Thanks for tuning in! And be sure to check out The Muppet Mindset Photobucket account for all of these pictures and more!

Jeremy Hobson: Today we're going to go right to the core of the American economy, and every economy, really. And every job, and every household and every task that we do every day.
I'm talking about hard work. It's what defined this country at its birth -- and it's part of what has made us stand out from the rest of the world.
But if you turn on the news these days, you might hear reports that our hard work ethic is going away.
Montage of news reports: After a full day's work of picking sweet potatoes, these employees will take home at least $100 today. Certainly a lot of work, but work that farmers say normal Americans just won't do. They wanted a position, not a job. What kind of jobs are employing they can't fill with Americans? Doing a lot of jobs that I think you can argue Americans wouldn't do.
So is that really true? Have we lost our hard work ethic? And how do we get it back?
Today on the show, we're going to explore hard work: Who does it? Who doesn't? And why it's crucial to our economy and our country.
We're gonna start at the south end of the 110 freeway here in Southern California in the city of San Pedro. We're at a fish market, which is kind of like a huge warehouse with a great water view. There are long glass cases filled with scallops, trout and salmon. There are tourists and families lining up for trays full of fried calamari. And there are hard workers everywhere -- scrubbing the floors, hauling the catch, gutting the fish and frying it up.
Sergio Rodriguez: I cook the fajita trays, I barbecue the fish and fry the fish and I give out orders.
Sergio Rodriguez is just 20 years old and he's been working here for four years in a job that his co-workers consider the hardest in the building. That's because he works all day in a small open kitchen with multiple cooks and -- this is the key -- a blazing hot stove.
Rodriguez: Working in the heat... There's like 15 people in here at one time sometimes and you bump into everybody.
Hobson: Do you feel like you get paid enough to do that kind of hard work?
Rodriguez: Yeah, I think I do. I get paid pretty good.
Hobson: How much?
Rodriguez: I get paid $11.50 an hour.
Hobson: So, do you think that your friends in other professions, doing other things, understand how hard of work you have to do everyday?
Rodriguez: No. They think I got it easy.
Seventeen-year-old Allyse Kadota works here during the summers. She sells fish to the customers. She says it's tiring but fun. Well, most of it.
Allyse Kadota: It's usually on Sundays that I hate, because we have to clean everything with our hands. And it's just gross, 'cause it's just dirty and clean bathrooms and do all the dirty work. That's the hardest part for me, 'cause I don't know... I can't do that.
Hobson: A lot of fish guts on the floor and stuff.
Kadota: Yeah, but I'm kinda used to all the fish guts and all that. So it's not too bad in that respect.
Hobson: Do you like to eat seafood?
Kadota: Yeah.
Hobson: Good.
Kadota: It's not an option.
The job that didn't look easy -- or particularly pleasant to us -- has been filled for the past 27 years by Chino Pena. He cuts the heads off of fish and scrapes off their scales.
Hobson: So is that hard? Do you consider that hard?
Chino Pena: Easy.
Hobson: Gross?
Pena: No.
Hobson: No.
Pena: It's like anything. When you peel a chicken... You ever peel a chicken?
Hobson: I usually don't, no. I usually get the store-bought ones that are pre...
Pena: You never get a light chicken?
Pena: Oh my...
Hobson: So that's it: You just cut it open and slice it down the middle and you're done?
Pena: Done.
Chino slaps five pounds of fish on the table in front of me, splatters a little fish blood on my shirt.
Hobson: So you brought one for me.
Pena: Two. If you mess up one, you get another one.
Hobson: If I screw it up, I get another for a second time. Got it. So what am I doing here?
Chino hands me a metal device that's sort of like a cheese grater.
Hobson: So we're just cutting off the scales here.
It's not the hardest thing I've ever done, but I'd probably feel differently after about 20 minutes of this -- let alone eight hours.
Hobson: How many times do you have to do this over the course of a day?
Pena: A day? All day long?
Hobson: How many fish?
Pena: How many fish? No idea, you never get an idea.
Hobson: A hundred?
Pena: Maybe more?
Hobson: More, wow. Did I do a good job?
Pena: You do beautiful, man. See that?
Beautiful isn't the word I'd use, neither is the "e" word, but that's exactly how the owner of the fish market, Tommy Amalfitano, describes it.
Tommy Amalfitano:The job is easy. You're scalin' the fish, workin' hard is just what we do. Puttin' up with all the other people that I have to work with around me, that's the hard part.
Hobson: What would you say is the hardest job in this place?
Amalfitano: I don't consider any job hard.
Hobson: You don't think any of them are hard to do?
Amalfitano: But it's hard as far as a person has never done it before.
Hobson: There would be a lot of people who would not think that it's fun to clean a fish or scale a fish.
Amalfitano: That's correct, a lot of people say "no way Jose" and they run like heck.
Hobson: Do you think other people, when they come in, think that it's hard?
Amalfitano: Definitely. They all think it's hard.
Hobson: Why do you think that is?
Amalfitano: Well, because most people don't like to get their hands dirty, number one. Everybody wants to be behind a computer. I don't know how a computer is going to fillet the fish for the people, I don't know if the computer's gonna tell anybody that the fish is fresh. I don't know how anybody's going to cook the fish for 'em. I don't know how anybody... All these guys are computer geeks, they make a lot of money -- God bless 'em, they don't have to work very hard. But I think we're healthier.
Hobson: You don't think they don't have to work very hard.
Amalfitano: I think they work hard in their field, as far as mentally hard, they work a lot harder than we do.
Hobson: But in terms of physical labor...
Amalfitano: But in terms of physical labor, we work much harder.
Hobson: What would you say is a comparable job to this in terms of hard work?
Amalfitano: I just had cement laid in my house. Those guys worked hard. I've never seen anybody milk a cow with that much... They were up in the middle of the night milking the cows, they have to fee the cows. That must be a hard job. THey have to put up with the smell. I don't particularly like the smell. Just like anybody else that comes in, if they came from the farm, and they said, "Hey, this place smells." Well, if I went to your farm, I'd say, "Your farm smells." I mean, it's just what you're used to having and not having.
Hobson: How do you teach a work ethic to your employees?
Amalfitano: The work ethic is taught by everybody in here, not just me. Because everybody has to clean fish, everybody has to sweep the floor, everybody has to wash the walls -- everybody has to do everything.
Hobson: You know, when I look around here, as probably with any business that's within the food industry, there are a lot of Latinos working here. And I wonder if the work ethic is different with the people with that heritage, and let's say, somebody who was raised in Kansas?
Amalfitano: No, not necessarily. If you come here and work in this place, I don't care what nationality you are, where you come from -- you're gonna work. So it doesn't make any difference, 'cause we've had a lot of different people from all ethnic backgrounds, everything. They work.
Hobson: Final question: If I were to offer you the chance tomorrow to switch all of this and go take a high-paying lawyer job in some office building, would you take the switch?
Amalfitano: I'd throw you outta here.
Ashley Andrews: Hello.
Hobson: Hi, I'm Jeremy Hobson. How are you?
Andrews: Jeremy! Ashley! Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming. Go ahead and have a seat.
Well now we've come to a very different place in search of hard work. It's at the other end of the 110 freeway in Sierra Madre, just north of Los Angeles.
We're at a law firm called Hoffman and Andrews. Lawyers, of course, can make a lot more money for the hard work that they do. And a lot of them don't want to talk about it. We contacted several lawyers at large firms and they were afraid to talk to us about their workloads for fear of being off-loaded.
But then we found Ashley Andrews. who's a partner here at Hoffman Andrews. She used to work at a big firm, putting in 12 hour days, sometimes six or seven days a week. Then she decided to become her own boss, which means less money for now, but probably an easier life.
Andrews: I don't think you become an attorney for the compensation. I think you are an attorney because you like the challenge and you like helping people. Quite honestly, the compensation isn't worth it.
Hobson: It isn't worth it.
Andrews: Correct.
Hobson: Because a lot of people that work in those big firms, especially when they get right out of law school in the major cities are making upwards of $160,000 a year.
Andrews: They're making upwards of $160,000 a year, and they don't sleep at nighttime, they have significant health problems, I think; their families suffer. It's not worth the income. If you were to divide the number of hours that we work by our salary, I would think that we probably make, if not minimum wage, less than minimum wage.
Hobson: Oh come on.
Andrews: Oh it's true.
Hobson: Really?
Andrews: I believe so.
Hobson: It's funny, because parents love when their kids say they're going to be a lawyer.
Andrews: I'm sure parents do, until their kids actually become an attorney, and they don't see them and then they change their minds.
Hobson: Get yourself outside of the legal field and look at the economy as a whole. What is a comparable field in terms of the amount of work that you have to do?
Andrews: I would probably say an emergency room doctor.
Hobson: Hm.
Andrews: Because you have the pace, you have the split-second decisions that you need to make and you're dealing with very very critical issues in people's lives, where if you make a wrong decision, you can screw them up permanently.
Hobson: A lot of pressure.
Andrews: A lot of pressure.
Hobson: If I were to offer you the opportunity right now to switch places and take a job that pays a lot less, but spend the day scaling fish at a fish market in San Pedro, would you take it?
Andrews: No.
Hobson: Why not?
Andrews: Because it doesn't offer the intellectual challenge that brings me to work everyday, that makes me wake up in the morning excited for my day and it doesn't offer the same opportunity to take care of people, share with them through a very difficult place in their life and help them.
So a few minutes ago, I mentioned the "e" word -- easy -- well you just heard Ashley use a more important e-word when it comes to work ethic -- that would be "excited."
"I think the best compliment I can give is not to say how much your programs have taught me (a ton), but how much Marketplace has motivated me to go out and teach myself." – Michael in Arlington, VABEFORE YOU GO

BOSTON, Mass.—UMass Boston (2-4) broke out of a three-game slide in a huge way Thursday, as they swept Eastern Nazarene College (2-5) 9-0 at the Boston College High School Courts.
The Beacons earned the sweep over the visiting Lions for the second straight year behind great play from top to bottom.
Freshman Solveig Castelli (Precojo, France) and Stephony Reeves (Dorchester, Mass.) gave the Beacons an early 1-0 lead with an 8-3 win at number three doubles. Castelli would finish off her opponent fastest in singles play as well, as she took down Tannah Victor 6-1, 6-1. Reeves was nearly as efficient at number five singles, taking Monica Gonzalez down 6-1, 6-3 to give the Beacons a 5-0 lead.
Wendy Steinman (Dudley, Mass.) and Shihyu Yang (Taipei, Taiwan) paired at up at number two doubles to grab an 8-5 victory. In singles play, Steinman earned a dominant 6-0, 6-2 victory at number three singles, while Imani Williams (Roxbury, Mass.) breezed to a 6-2, 6-4 win at number four singles.
The Beacons also received tremendous play from their captains Hieu Nguyen (Dorchester, Mass.) and Samantha Counts (Bridgewater, Mass.). The duo defeated Eastern Nazarene's top pair 8-4, before Nguyen won 6-2, 6-4 and Counts won 6-1, 6-0 in number one and number two singles respectively.
UMass Boston will look to earn their first winning streak of the season Saturday when they host their in-state rival, UMass Dartmouth, at 1 p.m.

Allen blasts West over abortion remarks
Furious LILY ALLEN has blasted outspoken rapper KANYE WEST after he ranted about the financial cost of abortions.
The Smile hitmaker, who lost her baby in October (10) when she was six months pregnant, lashed out after the rapper accused some women of getting pregnant "on purpose" before aborting the foetus in return for a payoff.
In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "An abortion can cost a ballin' n**ga up to 50gs ($50,000) maybe a 100 ($100,000). Gold diggin' b**ches be getting pregnant on purpose."
But the controversial remarks upset Allen, who hit back by writing: "Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels."

Status Symbol: Top Three Most Expensive Trucks in AmericaPosted in News on December 10, 2013
In order to obtain a general perception of today's pickup trucks, I decided to consult multiple almighty internet search engines to see how they'd auto-fill the statement, "Pickup trucks are…" Google gave the following three diversified answers: pickup trucks are stupid, pickup trucks are for rednecks, and pickup trucks are expensive. Yahoo added another piece to the puzzle: pickup trucks are better than girlfriends. I'm not kidding. While many conclusions could be drawn from this information, we'll focus on the potentially expensive price tag attached to today's fullsize heavy duty pickup trucks, and how this price tag puts pickup trucks into categories normally reserved for luxury cars. But what exactly is this "expensive" price tag assumed by the internet? We decided to find out by building our own heavy duty pickups on the manufacturers' websites.
Our 2014 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali ($49,145) Crew Cab, Long Box Dual Rear Wheel truck started at $50,435. Adding 4 wheel drive brought it to $59,585. A decent start to building an expensive truck, indeed! Because the diesel option is more expensive than the Vortec 6.0L gasoline V8, we chose the Duramax 6.6L Turbo Diesel V8 engine for a $7,195 premium. The necessary Allison 1000 6-speed transmission added $1,200. Big-ticket interior and exterior accessories and upgrades, including navigation, rear-seat entertainment package, rear vision camera, tool box, bed liner, power sliding rear window, tubular assist steps, dual alternators, power sunroof, roof rack, underseat storage box, overhead utility racks, rear view mirrors, hitch trailering package, and more, brought our quick-build estimate to a grand total of $73,029. Maybe that girlfriend's not so bad after all.
Our 2014 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty started at $30,540, but we instantly brought that number to $57,270 by selecting the highest model, Laramie Limited, in a 4x4 Mega Cab 6'4" box configuration. While we paid dearly for the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel with an exhaust brake ($7,995) and the AISIN 6-speed transmission ($2,795), we definitely considered this combination as an essential part of our luxury pickup build. The dual rear wheels ($1,200) were added as a separate line item. The power sunroof, tri-fold tonneau cover, 5th wheel/gooseneck towing prep group, chrome body side molding, rear window defroster, and some other additions brought our ramtrucks.com internet build to a healthy $71,605.
Our quest to build high-end, option-packed pickup trucks was not complete without building our own Ford Super Duty. For the sake of comparison with the others, we started with a Ford F-350 with a MSRP of $30,930. We scratched that figure out quickly, as our Platinum model started at $52,510. To get the 6.7L 4 Valve Power Stroke V8 diesel engine and the TorqShift 6-speed transmission, we mustered up an additional $8,315, plus another $1,550 for the dual rear wheels and $3,190 for the 4x4. After excitedly opting-in for things like the 5th wheel hitch kit, power moonroof, white platinum tri-coat, spray-in bedliner, dual alternators, and so on, we had somehow easily managed to put together a $72,120 truck.
Taking these build price estimates into account, it could be said that fully-loaded GM, Ram, and Ford heavy duty trucks are $70,000-$75,000 status symbols of their own, wrapped in comfortable plush leather interiors, filled with high-end technology, and complete with phenomenal towing capacity. These are hardly the pickup trucks of twenty years ago. If you were to jump into the car-world with that kind of money, what would you find for 70k? Consider the MSRPs of these "redneck" options: BMW 550i xDrive Gran Turismo ($70,400), BMW 740i Sedan ($74,000), BMW X6 xDrive50i ($71,400), BMW M3 Convertible ($69,050), Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 ($72,100), Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG ($68,925), Lexus LS 460 ($72,140), Lexus IS F ($63,350), and Range Rover Sport HSE ($68,495). Undoubtedly eyebrow-raising options! The bottom line: your Laramie Limited is indeed a status symbol.

Over the past couple days, in the evenings, I've been working on a small project.
Frequent readers of my blog (ha!) know that I enjoy map making and things of that nature. I decided to do a more local project, this time, using Hamilton's transit data.
The script I've created takes a transit schedule (in GTFS format) and either places all the routes on one image, or creates thousands of images and turns them into frames in a video.
Here's a quick overview of how it works:
- Determine "significant" trips (in this case, I'm only looking at weekday trips).
- Generate a list of stops with their times and latitudinal / longitudinal co-odrdinates.
- Convert the lat/long into x/y.
- Plot to an image.
If you want to take a deeper look into the code, here it is on github. If you want to see the image again, feel free to click here. If you're all about the videos, maybe give this link a click?
