February is Black History Month
Celebrating Black History began in 1926, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., initiated "Negro History Week." Dr. Woodson, a historian, chose the second week in February because it included the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the Bicentennial (200th birthday) of the United States of America, the week-long observance was extended to the entire month of February in order to have enough time for celebratory programs and activities. Please see our book display in honor of Black History Month in front of the main staircase.

Historic Hamden Town Buildings Display
Come to Miller Memorial Library during January 2014 to see a beautiful display with replicas of historic buildings in Hamden. These replicas were completed in clay by a range of students at Hamden Collaborative Learning Center (HCLC). HCLC is Hamden's alternate secondary school and is now located at 306 Circular Ave. It is under the direction of Jon Pearce, Coordinator of Alternative Education. It services students grades 7 through 12.The Hamden slab city project was designed to align with the district's initiative to improve student's writing. In Hamden Public Schools nonfiction writing is now required in every subject.The cross curriculum project was designed to build knowledge through content rich nonfiction and informational text. Students researched a historical town building of their choice, then analyzed and wrote a summary of its history. They identified architectural details with periods of history. Students then constructed a replica of the face of their buildings. The results created scaled graphite elevations with drafting teacher Bernie St. George and a "Slab City" of Hamden's Historical Buildings with art teacher Cathy Teulings.

Impressionism - Book Display and Lecture
We have gathered our most beautiful books on Impressionism for a display in
conjunction with the lecture on French Impressionism on Tuesday, October 29, 2013,
at 7 pm. New Canaan art educators Robin Hoffman and Jodi Stiffelman will be the presenters.
French Impressionism: From Studio to Plein Air
This lecture will focus on the important artists and movements of the period including background information on each artist's life and work, characteristics of style to help you visit any museum, anywhere, and recognize the artist's work, and the relationship of the artistic movement to historical and intellectual currents of the time.
The goal of ArtScapades is that you will develop the means to critique a work of art while learning art history and art appreciation. You will come away with both an understanding of French Impressionism and the tools to effectively explore galleries and museums.
ArtScapades takes you through the historical climate that gave rise to Impressionism and gives the history of factors that brought the movement to Paris: the redesign of the city, the growth of the café culture, the impact of the Industrial Revolution, and advances in materials and technology. Artscapades chronicles the life of four artists and their works, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas.
Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - 7:00pm

Tech 101 – How to use measuring tools
While it may be true that you can never have too many tools, some of the most useful tools you should have in your toolbox are not chromed or made with safety-grip handles. Some of these measuring tools are not cheap, but each performs at least one essential function that professional mechanics and manufacturers use on a regular basis and that you may someday also have a need for. Usually, you discover you need them right in the middle of a job, so it is a good idea to be preemptive and acquire these measuring tools as time and money permit. We list these tools roughly in what we consider order of importance, but you can set your own priorities based on use and cost.
Tape Measure
Besides their obvious functions for measuring length, width, height and in some cases depth, tape measures can also be used to determine outside diameters of tubing (circumference/Pi)
Vernier Caliper
An accurate sliding rule measuring tool, similar to micrometers, that can be used to measure inside and outside diameters as well as depths. There are several different kinds of vernier caliper; the earliest units were merely slide rulers with opposing stepped jaws; however, other versions with the addition of a dial face make even more accurate measurements on a smaller scale. The newest vernier calipers now use a digital readout that measure to the ten-thousandth of an inch or even smaller.
Thread gauge
Essential for determining threads per inch when measuring bolts, nuts and hydraulic fittings. Available in standard or metric, you should have both because a 3/8-24 and a 10mm X 1 bolt look almost identical until the third thread stops you from completing the job. Thread gauges are also helpful in determining which tap or die to use or what pitch thread file to use when rethreading spindles, nuts and bolts. Usually included in a good set of taps and dies.
Feeler gauge
Feeler gauges are made up of several thin strips of metal, each machined to a specific thickness for use in setting the proper air gap on breaker points and for measuring valve clearances on cylinder heads. Brass feeler gauges are also available for measuring the gap on magnetic inductive pickups in electronic ignition. When used in conjunction with a straight edge, feeler gauges can also measure manifold and cylinder surfaces for flatness and indicate how much milling is necessary to bring a surface back to flush. Most feeler gauges are sold in a set with many others of varying thicknesses, usually in one thousandth of inch increments. Very short feelers are convenient for getting down inside a distributor, but long feeler gauges are available for measuring front end alignment or head-to-block clearance. A long bent feeler gauge is made for measuring valve-to-rocker-arm clearances.
This accurate measuring tool comes in two different configurations, one for measuring inside dimensions and one for outside measurements. Micrometers usually come in pairs or in sets with several measured rods included to increase their range. Accurate to within several thousandths, micrometers are an essential tool for machinists and engineers. They are handy for measuring piston or crankshaft journal size, disc brake rotor runout, cylinder bore size, and also the depth of a drilled hole.
Dial Indicator
Dial indicators can measure very small movement very accurately. A dial indicator can tell you when parts show excessive wear, and can help you put parts into precise adjustment. The device usually consists of a round body with an indicator dial, a fixed base or stand, and a protruding rod that does the measuring. A dial indicator usually has a magnetic base, but it can also have another fixing device, such as Vise-Grips, that clamp the tool onto a stationary part. Here are just a few of this tool's many uses:
* Measuring crankshaft end play. Attach the magnetic base to the block, rest the end of the plunger on the crankshaft pulley, and move the pulley in and out as far as possible, either by levering it or depressing the clutch. Check this reading against the specifications in your shop manual as an indication of other internal engine problems.
* Checking brake rotors for warping. Mount the dial indicator's base on a suspension part, adjust the plunger so that it lightly rests against the rotor contact surface, zero out the dial, and turn the rotor by hand. If the disc is not perfectly flat, the needle will wiggle. Movement of .005 inches or more means the rotor should be machined or replaced.
* Measuring valve clearance. A dial indicator will measure rocker-arm-to-valve-stem clearance. Mount the indicator so that the plunger is vertical in relation to the movement of the rocker arm, and locate it directly over where the two meet. Rotate the engine until the valve is closed, and depresses the rocker arm onto the valve stem. Zero the gauge and then lift the rocker as far as possible. This reading will tell you the exact valve clearance.
* Measuring ring and pinion backlash. Using a dial indicator, you can measure the proper clearance between a differential ring gear and its mated pinion shaft. It can also be used to check alignment and spacing of new parts for proper fit before final assembly, preventing the waste of new bearings or crush collars that must be removed to install alignment shims.
Torque Wrench
Yes, a torque wrench can be considered a measuring tool because it measures metal-to-metal resistance. It can be critical when assembling components that the hardware be a certain tightness without being overly tight. That's where your torque wrenches come in handy. Offered in various drives and graduated in either pound-feet or pound-inch units, usually equivalents in Newton meters are also indicated on the adjustment scale. Large four-foot-long torque wrenches can be one-inch drive and rated to thousands of pound-feet and are used to check highway overpass hardware. Torque wrenches should be sent back to the manufacturer or a repair facility for re-calibration every few years, depending on the amount of use.
Torque Angle Gauge
Used in conjunction with a torque wrench, a torque angle gauge measures fastener tightness by the degree angle of the nut or bolt head rather than the reading on the torque wrench. Aligning the angle of each fastener results in even torque on all attaching hardware.
Having a tool available when you need it is important, and measuring tools these days, as with most other hand tools, can be very inexpensive. However, because you want accurate measurements that will eliminate fitment headaches down the road, it is recommended that you buy the very best tool you can afford. Dollar store tape measures and other hand tools are sold there for a reason, and cheaper plastic Vernier calipers often lose accuracy (usually because you absentmindedly spin the adjust wheel until the gears strip). Precision measuring tools also need extra care when being stored, so the open end wrench drawer of your top box is probably not the best place to keep them. Save the box or case they came in, and devote one drawer in your toolbox for the "delicates."
Skills 101 – How to put together a breakdown kit
(Most of) the author's breakdown kit.
Spend enough time on the road, and something is bound to go wrong. Murphy's Law tells us that this will happen at the worst possible moment, in the worst possible location, in (likely) the worst possible weather. Few seem to find flat tires in their driveway on a sunny weekend afternoon; instead, flats are generally encountered on a snowy or rainy highway commute to work. Likewise, breakdowns rarely occur next to a service station or automobile dealer; instead, when components fail, they tend to do so far from the potential aid of businesses and passers-by. In the days before cell phones, drivers were much more inclined to travel with a "breakdown kit" containing essential tools and supplies, but many have tucked such kits into the corner of a garage, believing that help is now just a phone call away.
We live in an imperfect world, and Murphy's Law likely has an addendum about cell phones lacking signal or charge when needed the most. Thus, there's still merit in the self-reliance delivered by carrying a breakdown kit, particularly for longer trips that involve desolate stretches of road. Carrying all the materials needed for every roadside repair is a virtual impossibility, unless one is willing to tow a (heavy) trailer filled with tools and spares on every trip. There is art and science, then, in preparing a breakdown kit that is compact and light enough to be practical, yet still comprehensive enough to get you through emergency roadside repairs. It's worth noting that this will likely differ from vehicle to vehicle (especially true with vintage vehicles, as each seems to have its own special set of needs), as well as from location to location.
Case in point: Traversing the Colorado Rockies in wintertime, it's prudent to carry things like a warm sleeping bag, a change of clothes (preferably in a waterproof bag) and even a spare pair of winter boots. A few boxes of energy bars are also a good idea, as is fresh water if you can keep it from freezing. Experience tells us that when things go wrong in the mountains during the winter, they tend to go very wrong, very quickly. More than one motorist has been stranded by the side of the road (or worse, on the road) during a blizzard, and facing the thought of spending the night in a car is much more palatable when wrapped in a warm sleeping bag, eating energy bars washed down by fresh water.
Carrying these supplies in summer is likely overkill, unless you live in regions where summer is the month-long period in between snow storms. For the rest of us, there's likely a breakdown kit that takes up a minimal amount of room while delivering maximum peace of mind. At the very least, it should contain a first aid kit (the complexity of which will depend upon the level of your formal first aid training); road flares or a reflective triangle; an emergency blanket; a bright flashlight (our preference is for LED headlamps, which make nighttime tire changing much easier); a small 12-volt air compressor with a pressure gauge; a string-type tire patch kit (buy the professional grade kits, not the kind found at your local auto parts store) with extra rubber cement (because the tube will be evaporated just when you need it most); basic tools such as a standard and a Phillips screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a few adjustable wrenches, a set of locking pliers, and a multi-tool (which should help to cover the tools you may have forgotten or removed from your breakdown kit); electrical tape and Gorilla tape; jumper cables; and a 12-volt adapter to power or charge your cell phone.
While we'd consider these "need to have" items, the "nice to have" list includes things like a proper air pressure gauge; a folding lug wrench (which greatly simplifies roadside tire changes); a fire extinguisher (though, admittedly, this goes on the "need to have" list for vintage or prized cars); a set of mechanics gloves or several sets of latex gloves; rags; spare flashlight batteries; a waterproof jacket; spare fuses (though changing a blown fuse is generally a temporary solution to a more serious problem); and any essential failure-prone spare parts unique to the car. Should sediment in the gas tank or fuel lines be an issue, carry a spare fuel filter or two; if oil consumption is a problem, carry a few extra quarts of oil in the breakdown kit, too.
While that generally covers on-road needs, driving off road (especially in remote locations) requires a bit more preparation. Our own off-road kit contains items like a 20-foot towing strap, rated at 20,000 pounds; a pair of towing shackles; a stouter 12-volt compressor (necessary for reinflating tires after airing down for additional traction on loose surfaces); an air pressure gauge; tie-down straps and a few bungee cords; a handful of light sticks; a plastic tarp; additional first aid supplies; and all the contents previously recommended above. Those venturing further afield may want to include additional items, but the line between a breakdown kit and a survival kit can easily get blurred. In any event, experience tells us that items carried are rarely needed, meaning that those with the most comprehensive breakdown bags are the least likely to encounter trouble.

Such a beautiful place to see. Tour was well put together! Loved the traditional style lunch. Our guide was great!!
Great sightseeing day. It was a nice, crisp Fall day and scenic with the leaves changing. Our guide was Yasushi, he was great and very knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious.
My husband and I truly enjoyed this trip to Tokyo. I made the right choice to get this Nikko day trip. I love going/seeing world heritage places whenever we travel.
The 2 hour drive from Tokyo was worth the effort, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We started the tour at the Toshogu Shrine which is apparently the most lavishly decorated in Japan. In the complex, we also saw the famous carving of the 'three wise monkeys'. After a bit of free time, we headed to the Nikko Tamazawa Imperial Villa, which has been used as a summer villa for the Emperor and his family, now open to the public. Very interesting and beautiful gardens. The day concluded with a visit to the spectacular Kirufuru Falls. The only criticism would be that it was quite late in the day by the time we arrive at the falls, and the light was beginning to fade, though I still managed a few good shots.
Good tour. Exellent tour guide.
This was a beautiful trip from start to finish. The guide was informative and kind. The temples were breath taking. It was great to have some quiet in the trees and listen to the water features at different spots along the way.
excellent tour guide and the trip was amazing
Other then the long bus jouney, this was an excellent tour. Definitely strongly recommended. Tour guide Shima was excellent her knowledge was wide and she was ever so helpful. Nikko itself is a fabulous place and really enjoyed it very much
Guide was excellent, knew her stuff and passed it on well in good english, Nikko national park was inspiring and the information provided by the guide was first rate to understand the process of what we were viewing. Again lot of coach travel but worth it, didnot take the lunch option so could walk about and get the true feeling of Nikko and its people. Delayed on return trip due to accident but our guide helped pass the time away making samurai paper hats which was good fun, then teaching use some Japanese. Guide also ensured we were all well aware of how to return to our hotels from the two drop off points in Tokyo. Excelldnt day made by the guide
Wonderful trip and is well worth it.
Great tour that hits all the major spots you want to see. The tour guide gave some good insight into Japanese customs and daily life. This was the highlight of our trip. Nikko is a must see in Japan!
Great guide, very friendly.
Good lunch.
Nikko is worth the trip
Very good tour. Nikko is the place you should visit if you have a very short Tokyo period
Quite a bit of time spent on the bus, but the tour guide shared a lot of info about Japan along the way.
The places in Nikko we went were very nice. Having already toured Tokyo on a prior trip I wanted to see something away from the big city. I'd highly recommend this tour.

British newspapers are reporting that 'America's Got Talent' judge Piers Morgan may have lost out on a new show he's been developing for CNN.
According to 'The Daily Star' worried CNN executives have put the new show on hold as the hacking net threatens to close around the former tabloid newspaper editor.
Sources claim the news-based program would have run in tandem with his nightly CNN chat show, 'Piers Morgan Tonight,' and was part of the deal he signed back in September 2010 when he took over from Larry King.
A CNN insider reportedly said "It is felt best to put the new show on hold at least until things settle down."
Pressure is mounting on Morgan to return to the U.K. to answer some uncomfortable questions concerning allegations that tabloid newspapers illegally hacked into phones.
A former print journalist, Morgan made a name for himself in the newspaper world, serving as editor of now-shuttered 'News of the World' and editor-in-chief of 'The Daily Mirror.' He was fired from the 'Mirror' for publishing fake photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners.
Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills has publicly accused Morgan of bragging about listening to other people's personal voicemails. She also told the BBC's 'Newsnight' program that a Mirror Group journalist told her he'd hacked her phone while Morgan was editor of 'The Daily Mirror.'
Morgan has previously referred to Millsas "one of the world's great gold diggers," and in a statement refuting her claims, he insisted: "To reiterate, I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, nor to my knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone."
But the controversy is refusing to die down and now McCartney says he intends to contact police in the U.K. over his ex-wife's claims.
The former Beatle told TV journalists in Cincinnati, Ohio: "I will be talking to [the police] about that, I don't think it's great. I do think it is a horrendous violation of privacy, and I do think it's been going on a long time, and I do think more people than we know knew about it."
"But," he added. "I think I should just listen and hear what the facts are before I comment."

Burger King is eating McDonald's lunch
They're both dealing with the same tough economy, but the perennial also-ran is capitalizing on the notion that people want tasty food.
The Miami-based chain Wednesday reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, with expenses plunging about 65% as it converted its operations to a franchised model. Consumers appear to be reacting positively to new offerings such as lattes, the Rib Sandwich and Barbecued Chicken Salad.
The company's same-store sales figures, a key metric measuring the performance of stores open at least a year, were impressive, gaining 0.6% globally. That surpassed analysts' expectations that called for a decline of 0.1%. In North America, though, that measure fell 0.5% as competition from McDonald's and Wendy's (WEN) intensified.
Burger King, which expects to have 40% of its U.S. and Canada locations remodeled by 2015, has an edge over McDonald's in one key area: Taste. Research from Technomic, a food industry market researcher and consultant, shows that consumers prefer Burger King over McDonald's. Unfortunately for both chains, consumers like Wendy's better than either of them.
Investors are finding shares of Wendy's more tasty as well. They've surged more than 50% this year, while shares of Burger King have risen nearly 19% year-to-date. McDonald's has posted a 11.5% gain.
But things at Burger King are headed in the right direction. The Home of the Whopper is planning to expand further overseas, adding 125 net new stores in several countries, including China, Turkey, Russia and Brazil.
Traffic in the U.S. during the latest quarter was bolstered by promotions for limited premium offerings such as the Summer BBQ menu, the $1.29 Whopper Jr. and 50-cent ice cream cones.
Burger King's success will ratchet up Wall Street's pressure of McDonald's to improve its performance.

No surprise actually .... been eating at Burger King when it was still Carrols in 1961 at one of its Rochester NY locations.
I haven't eaten at a McDonalds in more than 30 yrs. because of the different cooking styles (always liked flame broiled flavor), larger sandwiches (Whopper w/cheese) and always hated the décor and theme pointed completely at kids ... and out of touch with the adult customer.
Never cared for Wendy's, got food poisoned once at a Calif location and never went back ... would rather go to Arby's for a change in menu.

TORONTO -- Ryan Hamilton scored the goals and Drew MacIntyre prevented them as the Toronto Marlies won their second game in a row.
Hamilton tallied twice in the second period, including the game-winner on a penalty shot, and MacIntyre stopped 27 of 28 shots to lead the Marlies to a 2-1 victory over the visiting Rochester Americans in American Hockey League action on Wednesday.
"He's our best guy in the shootout by far, so it's always nice when they call his name to take (a penalty shot)," said Marlies coach Dallas Eakins. "There's a very good chance he's going to score."
With the win, the Marlies improved to 28-18-6 and moved into first place in the North Division.
"We did a lot of good things tonight," said Hamilton, who leads Toronto in scoring with 23 goals and 36 points. "We took a lot of shots, which is something we've been struggling with lately. Obviously MacIntyre played huge for us. It was a big win and we've got to keep it going.
"We knew this was a huge game. We have to get as many points as we can. It feels like playoff games every game now and it's exciting and we're looking forward to coming down the stretch."
Mark Mancari replied for the Amerks (27-22-3), who have lost four straight and are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. Rochester netminder David Leggio made 37 saves.
"Our guys were committed defensively tonight," Eakins said. "We had a few hiccups that didn't cost us anything, and we kept pushing the envelope offensively. We had some great, great chances that Leggio was able to keep out."
Hamilton opened the scoring when he deflected Paul Ranger's point shot past Leggio 15 seconds into the middle frame. Mancari tied it up on the power play when his blast from the left point beat MacIntyre high on the blocker side at 11:41.
Hamilton restored Toronto's lead just under two minutes later on a penalty shot after being hauled down on a breakaway by Amerks defenceman Nick Crawford.
"You just try to focus on the little things," Hamilton said. "I've been kind of struggling in the shootout in practice, so I changed it up a little bit and sometimes you get the good result. Fortunately it went in.
"Any time you're getting chances, that's a good thing. When you're not getting scoring chances, that's when you get concerned."
Toronto was 0-for-3 on the power play while Rochester went 1-for-2.
The Marlies host the Binghamton Senators in a pair of games this weekend.

IRVING, Texas – The NFL's draft experts can apparently hear your pleas loud and clear, Cowboys fans.
Even with the addition of three defensive linemen – one of them a Pro Bowler – in free agency, the focus remains squarely on the defensive line when examining the Cowboys' draft needs. But is it perhaps hyper-focused on the defensive tackle spot?
I ask the question in light of Mel Kiper's three-round mock draft, which he published to ESPN.com on Thursday. Rather than stopping at the first round, which is the practice of most mocks, Kiper went in-depth and made the first three picks for all 32 clubs in the NFL.
Kiper's decisions for the Cowboys are bound to be crowd-pleasers, as he went all-in on Dallas' needs in the trenches. With the No. 16 overall pick, he selected the longtime favorite in defensive tackle Aaron Donald. The No. 47 pick, midway through the second round, addressed the interior of the other line by grabbing UCLA guard Xavier Su'a-Filo. He finished up by taking another bowling ball defensive tackle, Will Sutton, 78th overall.
It all sounds really good. The two defensive tackles provide depth and give the Cowboys plenty of bodies to rotate, and Su'a-Filo could at best become a rookie starter or at least bolster what is currently a thin guard position.
My question is: has the focus on the need for defensive tackles become too much if we're talking about drafting two with the team's first three picks?
There's no doubt it's a weak spot.
It's not as if the Cowboys have ignored this, though. Although he is coming off an ACL injury, the acquisition of
If you add one early draft pick to that equation, you're looking at six or seven guys who can help improve the interior of the defensive line.
That's not great – certainly not when you compare it to some of the better defensive lines in this league. But take a look at the defensive end position and tell me the Cowboys can afford to ignore it.
With DeMarcus Ware departing, Mincey is the most accomplished end on the roster.
So basically, I think the narrative has changed. I'm not saying defensive tackle is a strength – not yet, at least. But it appears as though defensive end has become the more dire need.
By all means draft Donald if he's still there in the first round, or grab Sutton later on if Donald is unavailable. But I don't know that the Cowboys can avoid addressing their edge rushers throughout the first half of this draft.

Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon
USA, Discovery, 15 days - from £2,095 (land only) - from €2,620 (land only) - from $3,665 (land only)
- The American south-west at its rugged best
- Trek in the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks
- Camp with the Navajo in Monument Valley
- See the awesome Grand Canyon
- Visit the highlights of Monument Valley
This excellent hiking holiday in the Rocky Mountains starts out with an exploration amongst the diverse landscapes and amazing wildlife of the Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. Our hikes here take us to wilderness lakes and to world-famous geysers, including 'Old Faithful'. We then travel south to Colorado and visit less well-known areas of the Rocky Mountains, close to the ski towns of Steamboat and Aspen, where we hike the Fish Creek Falls and Lost Man Loop trails. Continuing our journey via the Million Dollar Highway to Durango, we visit the ancient Indian ruins of Mesa Verde and also camp out with the Navajo to enjoy a stunning Monument Valley sunset. Finally, we round off this incredible adventure with walks in and around the Grand Canyon, trekking along the West Rim and descending to Havasupai Falls, to spend 2 nights camping in the depths of this awe-inspiring gorge. For a taste of the American south-west, this holiday is hard to beat.
Is this holiday for you?
This is not a long or continuous trekking holiday. It is a series of day-hikes and shorter walks in several of the most scenic areas of the Rockies and environs, linked by driving days some of which are necessarily long, We travel approximately 2000 miles over the duration of the holiday. Most of the paths that we will be walking on are well-established and maintained. The day's walk will vary between 3 hours and 7 hours, with some of them including a reasonable amount of ascent and/or descent. This trip does not reach very high altitudes. There are several longish driving stages, including the 8-hour leg from Yellowstone to Aspen on Day 5.

THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors who've had one or more falls in the six months prior to surgery are at increased risk for poorer outcomes after their operation, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at 235 people, average age 74, who had colorectal and heart operations. Thirty-three percent of the patients reported having at least one fall in the six months before surgery.
Those who had falls were more likely to have postoperative complications than those without falls: 59 percent vs. 25 percent in the colorectal surgery group, and 39 percent vs. 15 percent in the heart surgery group.
Patients who had falls were also more likely to be discharged from the hospital to a care facility, and had a higher rate of readmission to the hospital within 30 days, according to the study published online Oct. 9 in the journal JAMA Surgery.
"Given the high volume of surgical care provided for the elderly population, improving preoperative risk assessment for the older adult is becoming increasingly important," wrote study author Dr. Teresa Jones, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and colleagues.
More than one-third of all inpatient operations in the United States are performed on patients 65 and older, and that proportion will increase in coming decades. However, current risk assessments of patients before surgery do not include the risks associated with being frail, the researchers noted.

The U.S. National Institute on Aging has more about surgery.

Dr. Fumio Matsumura, a noted UC Davis scientist who studied how agricultural chemicals affect human health, died Dec. 6 of pneumonia complications, according to a university news statement. He was 78.
Acclaimed in his field as "one of the grand masters of insect toxicology," Dr. Matsumura was a professor of environmental toxicology and entomology. He had taught at UC Davis since 1987 and was former director of the Center for Environmental Health Sciences, where he led research into the effects of agrochemicals on human tissues. His recent work was in breast cancer research.
He lectured at international conferences, served on scientific panels and received major academic and professional honors. He co-wrote a classic textbook, "Toxicology of Insecticides," in 1975 that has been used by generations of students.
Born Feb. 5, 1934, in Fukui, Japan, Dr. Matsumura graduated from University of Tokyo. He studied entomology in Canada to earn a master's degree from University of Alberta in 1959 and a doctorate from University of Western Ontario in 1961.

Sean Mannion is again Oregon State's starting quarterback after a two week absence. Riley made the announcement after Monday's indoor practice, as reported by the Oregonian. Mannion took all the reps with the first unit in the session.
"Obviously, we feel great about our quarterback situation," Riley told the newspaper. "It's a tough decision to make."
Cody Vaz went 2-0 as the starter. The Beaver offense was lights out under Vaz against BYU, so much so Vaz took home Pac-12 Player of the Week honors.
This past Saturday, Vaz and the OSU offense were far less prolific, but the Beavs still won 21-7.
Both BYU (No. 4) and Utah (No. 29) have defenses ranked in the nation's top 30 in the total defense category.
Mannion was available if needed this past Saturday but was not called upon. Meanwhile, Vaz was back with the second unit Monday and, according to the paper, couldn't hide his disappointment.
"I obviously want to be out there, I want to be playing," Vaz said. "It's going to be tough, but I'm going to handle it the best I can and try to support Sean."
Vaz completed 36 of 58 passes (62 percent) for 506 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in two games. Mannion is 107 for 169 (63 percent) for 1,358 yards and seven touchdowns, along with four interceptions in four games. Vaz has the higher pass efficiency rating at 152.4 to 139.7.

WARSAW, Ill. (WGEM) -- The college signing period continues to be fast and furious.
West Hancock softball standout Shelby Koehler inked her national letter of intent with NCAA Division II Emporia State on Monday afternoon.
Koehler is eager for the challenge that awaits.
"The pitching is definitely going to be better and I'm going to work on my hitting. The whole speed of the game is going to be faster and I need to get ready for that big jump," Koehler said.
"When I went on my visit I really liked the school and the great coaching staff there. I just think it's going to be a pretty good fit."
In an interesting side note, Koehler joins an Emporia State program coached by former Warsaw and Quincy University star Julie LeMaire.

One push up burns on average 1-2 calories, and if several are performed the calorie content per push up may rise because of the increased heart rate experienced. Doing just one push up is not an effective way to lose weight, however, incorporating push ups into an intense cardio and strength training program is a great way to strengthen the arms, shoulder and core while burning even more calories. Push ups by themselves are not considered to be aerobic exercise and therefore do not burn a large number of calories. If you do 100 push ups, you can expect to burn at least 100 calories.
Push ups are not considered endurance improvers either, and should be added to an exercise program with a mix of cardio and strength or weight training, but not done as the only means of exercise. While you may burn some calories, depending on the number of push ups completed, you do not burn enough to lose weight. If you need to lose a significant amount of weight, doing push ups as your exclusive means of exercise is not effective. Working out on a treadmill, bicycle or swimming and then adding push ups to your cardio exercise is highly effective and will cause you to burn more calories than just doing the cardio exercise. Push ups are a great strength trainer that utilize your body weight as resistance.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Where Tyler is correct that shapeshifting is the spice and not the pudding of Druid lore, I have to agree with Turtle. Shapeshifting is the unique mechanic given to Druids and for the most part I believe it's what draws players to the class. Without it we'd pretty much be Shamans without totems.
What I'd like to see for both Balance and Restoration is more shapeshifting forms. In fact blizzard could go far with this idea and really make playing Druids even more interesting.
What if, for Balance, activating an Eclipse state could proc a Solar or Lunar form that lasts for a few seconds and increases burst damage for one form and DoTs for the other? Similarly, Restoration could have two forms to choose from. One that increases direct healing, and one that increases HoTs. My main issue with Restoration is, in addition to crappy damage, the fact that our direct healing is awkward or useless because the spec focuses on HoTs.
Hell maybe even some type of mechanic on a cooldown that allows Balance to switch to greatly improved healing for a short duration and Restoration could have a similar cooldown that improves burst damage for a short duration. I think I like this idea even better. And it would solve problems for both of those specs. The improved survivability that everyone seems to be wanting for Balance, (again I don't share this opinion as I've stated before but that's just me), and improved burst for Restoration which I DO think it needs.
This would mirror what we have as Feral Druids, and add a nice balance to the class that's missing at the moment. Get it? Balance... heh.
and yet here we are, druids asking.. nay begging.. to get rid of that tired mechanic.
I guess its really not part of our identity if we only want to get rid of it.
My question is why people want to force others into stupid fat owlfreak form in order to enjoy all the specs their class hs to offer?
I have to disagree with Mr. Caraway's statement that Druids are not "about" shapeshifting. I will heartily agree that our affinity with nature is our most defining characteristic, but I think it is a fallacy to insinuate that a particular class is only "about" one thing. The most defining characteristic of the WoW hunter to me is the use of a ranged weapon to deal damage, but I think that having a combat pet is also essential to their identity. For druids of WoW I think shapeshifting to fulfill the various roles is a defining characteristic at this point. Even a visit to the WoW community site's Druid class page makes me feel as if Blizzard supports this view:
"Druids' changing forms let them assume different roles..."
"As master shapeshifters, druids can take on the forms of a variety of beasts..."
I will admit that I am biased, I want the class to be about shapeshifting as that is what fascinated me about it so much and drew me to it. And I know that balance did not initially have its own form early in Vanilla and that kind of goes against my argument, so maybe this view of mine is also partly a result of me being a BC-baby. It is insulting for people to tell druids that don't want to shapeshift to go roll a mage, seeing as even without shapeshifting a balance druid is pretty much nothing like a mage. But at the same time I don't think people are justified in picking one characteristic of a class they like and asking for the other ones to be done away with, even for just one spec. How many people have I known that have wanted survival to be a melee hunter tree?
I know that Blizzard choosing to pull resot's form is a hole in my argument, and I feel like it was a poor choice for the game. I don't even like the idea of people glyphing away moonkin form. At that point moonkin form means nothing, lorewise. So some of these students of nature known as the druid class just randomly choose to look like a moonkin when they cast harmful spells? It has nothing to do with the power with which assuming that form imbues them? Or they can cheat the magic by using this little rune and not actually have to look like a big fat owlbear as they command the form's power? Yeah I know that's nerd-think, but the more gameplay dictates things over lore, the less immersive I think the game is. The first word in the title of the game is "World" and it just loses so much for me when it loses that immersive quality.
P.S. Mr. Caraway, I love your column and all the insight you bring to the druid community. I can tell you are much more Druid than Warlock. ;)
