Kevin Holcomb, M.D.
Dr. Kevin Holcomb practices at Weill Cornell Ob/Gyn's 68 th Street offices. He specializesingynecologic oncology.
"There's no question that Weill Cornell offers all the benefits and resources of a world-class academic medical center – but we present ourselves more like your local community hospital. What makes us different is the patient-friendly environment. The human element is still emphasized here."
Dr. Holcomb is a Gynecologic Oncologist at the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College and works closely with other members of the Weill Cornell Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. He also closely collaborates with colleagues in the departments of Hematology Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Surgery. He is gratified to work with so many gifted colleagues and to deliver the benefits of cutting-edge medicine to the patients they share.
In addition to helping diagnose and treat gynecologic cancers, Dr. Holcomb continues to develop more effective techniques in chemical, radiological and surgical treatments for these pernicious conditions. He is also very interested and active in the development of robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques for gynecologic cancers. Dr. Holcomb was recently appointed Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Dr. Holcomb's research contributions to the field of gynecologic oncology have included dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles, a book chapter, an interactive CD-ROM, and many presentations at regional and national conferences and symposia. His research activities include clinical trials of new chemotherapy regimens as well as research in endometrial cancers and lymph node sampling. Topics of his research articles and presentations have included treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, pre-invasive cervical lesions in HIV-positive women, and analyses of cell characteristics in human ovarian cancers.
His dedication to medical education was recognized by the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology, where he received the National Faculty Award in 2002 and 2004. He has been named one of New York's Top Doctors by New York Magazine, one of the New York Metro Area's Top physicians by Castle-Connolly Medical Ltd., and one of America's Leading Doctors by Black Enterprise magazine. Dr. Holcomb served as the President of the Board of Advisors for the American Cancer Society Upper Manhattan Office as well as President of the Metropolitan Gynecologic Cancer Society.
Dr. Holcomb believes strongly in a humanistic approach to medicine and establishing a personal connection with his patients. He believes the quality of patient care is enhanced by the quality of the caregiver's commitment to care. If the patient feels cared about as a person, it helps every aspect of that patient's medical care.
"The more I practice, the more I appreciate the training I received here at Weill Cornell."
A graduate of Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, Dr. Holcomb received his M.D. at New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY. His post-doctoral training has included an internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York Hospital – Cornell Medical Center, and a fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at the State University of New York Downstate Health Science Center at Brooklyn-Kings County Hospital Center. Formerly the Director of Gynecologic Oncology at New York's Beth Israel Medical Center, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Holcomb joined the faculty at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in 2006.

CORNING — Dry-slick and a little dusty, much more like a late July race track is expected, was the racing surface that met the hot rods at ACS last week.
It was Jeremy Purdy, Jerod Weston, Jason Rold, Jesse Dennis, and Chris Spieker that were able to manage the track conditions the best and took home the trophies on Alegent Health Kids Bike Race night.
Hobby Stock
Purdy used the win to extend his season point lead in the Chat Mobility hobby stocks and it took a pass over second place in points Jeremy Auten as they approached the white flag for him to finally get the lead. Purdy started tenth but blasted through the pack to be running second to Auten just two laps into the race. Through five restarts Auten held the lead, but Purdy used a five lap green flag set at the end to make the decisive move and get the win.
Blain Petersen came from starting dead last to finish third after missing his heat race with Kurt Hansen and last week's winner Andy Davidson in fourth and fifth.
Red Oak's Jerod Weston got win number three of the 2013 season and made a small dent in the sizeable point lead that Jon Plowman holds with only six weeks of point racing remaining. Weston bolted to the lead early but was challenged the whole race by newcomer Cole Ferguson from Dexter.
Ferguson managed to slip by for the lead on only one lap mid-race and finished within half a second of the winner, but was disqualified in post-race inspection for failure to be using the required rev limiter chip. Plowman was awarded second with Chris Stanley, Darrin Hardisty, and Josh Sink in the top five.
Avoca's Jason Rold joined Tony Hardisty at the only multiple time winners in the pro-stock class this season but he had to hold off a hard charging Hardisty to do so. Rold started ninth and Hardisty 12 in the field and by the midway point of the 18 lap feature they were running nose to tail for the lead.
Rold never bobbled and Hardisty just couldn't find the grip to power by as Rold got win number two for the year compared to Hardisty's four. Cody Clark, Craig Garner, and Joe Zadina followed at the checkers.
A win in a NASCAR Whelen All-American series point race comes with five bonus points, and those five points were what Jesse Dennis needed to pass John Davis for the season point lead. Dennis got his first win of the season and became the eighth different winner in nine weeks in this very competitive division. Four different drivers held the lead in the 18-lap feature slowed only on lap number nine and 13 by the caution flag.
Dennis grabbed the lead away from Ryan Schaffer on lap number 12 and held on for the win. Schaffer was followed by Todd Van Eaton, Brian Foote and Larry Foote at the checkers.
Late models
Chris Spieker came back from an abysmal finish last week to find his way back to the winner's circle for the second time this season. Starting third in the field of sixteen he held the lead by lap four. By lap number seven JC Wyman had worked his way from starting outside row five into second place.
A caution on lap 13 was the only break in the racing action as Spieker held on to the lead for the duration. Wyman finished second, followed by Justin Zeitner, Trent Jackson, and Paul Glendenning.
A tremendous battle is raging in the feature division late models with Jason O'Brien currently in the lead. Wyman is in second just ten points back with Spieker only four points further back in third. 2011 track champion Paul Glendenning is still in striking distance only 28 points behind the leader.
Candy Drop Night
The first ever Trolli Gummy Bear candy drop night will be on Aug. 3 at the speedway. More than 1,000 bags of Gummy Bears will be dropped on the front stretch for the kids age 12 and under to gather up at intermission.
Closing off the evening will be the Chat Mobility hobby stock King of the Hill races. Check out the ACS web site for full results, points standings, and more.

More good news. I hope the US launch goes swimmingly.
Posted via CB10
The BlackBerry Z10's extensive marketing campaign is clearly making progress.
Recent research by YouGov shows that awareness of BlackBerry's advertising efforts in the U.S. have jumped from 6% in the middle of January to 21% by the end of February. 34% of existing BlackBerry owners that were looking to get a new handset in the next six months were going to stick with BlackBerry. 17% said they were going to switch to iPhone and 31% said they were going to switch to a Samsung device. By comparison, iPhone purchase intent had dropped from 14% to 7%, and ad awareness was down from 44% to 38% between January and March.
Though that may sound rough, at the same time last year, those figures were closer to 30% retention, 34% defection to iPhone, and 12% to Samsung. The data was collected by surveying Americans to see which manufacturer brands they've seen in advertisements recently, and which they would be most likely to purchase from.
Leading up to the U.S. launch of the BlackBerry Z10 next week, marketing is going to play a huge role in generating awareness. Sure, you fine, dedicated CrackBerry readers will know just about every nook and cranny of the device before it gets into your hands, but everyday consumers will likely hear about the Z10 first from a TV spot or a banner. The Keep Moving campaign is really nice and proactive, but even going about daily business in Canada, I'm spotting many more traditional print ads from BlackBerry than I've seen in a long time.
What about you guys? Have you seen a lot of BlackBerry ads out in the wild? How do you think mainstream awareness is doing for the BlackBerry Z10?
More good news. I hope the US launch goes swimmingly.
Posted via CB10
Cool article, thanks Mr. Sage!
I've seen so many different BlackBerry ads in the last few months that it's freaky. They sure have been doing a fine job of creating awareness in all types of media.
This is great news! Team BlackBerry
IDK if anyone saw it last night but a new BB10 ad aired on CNN around 11.30 pm ish.....it was really nice. Now i think i see what their marketing plan is, start airing ads after the major US carriers announce their launch dates. Hopefully Tmobile will announce something soon too, tired of this long wait.
As long as the consumers don't misunderstand thinking that the phone supports Hulu.
I'm in the Wasington, DC area. I'm the only person I know with a Z10 and I've seen non in the wild. That isn't too surprising as they are not yet sold here. Almost no one in my sphere of influence cares about the new BlackBerry phone. Finally, I've neither seen nor heard any advertising since the Super Bowl. I work with IT techs , non of them know the AT&T and Verizon pre-orders opened.
I'm very open minded when i read posts, but when i got to the part "I work with IT techs, non of them know the AT&T and Verizon pre-orders opened"... I didn't know what to think.
I'm not too interested in any phones or pre-orders from AT&T or Verizon, but because i work in IT i know that pre-orders are on because i read technology news.
Maybe you guys are just busy... keep up the good work.
Very polite comment but a rather long way to say "Bollocks"
I am not sure if I am reading the numbers right but it looks to me that the big news of this study is the huge shift in consumer preference between Apple and Samsung. The numbers are almost reversed. There is still about the same number of people leaving the BlackBerry platform for others. Let's hope the just launched marketing campaign turns things around. For the time being though Samsung is the big winner in consumer mind share, at least according to this study of buying intentions.
Posted via CB10
Yeah, let's hope the marketing campaign helps, but it's no guarantee. I've seen countless clectronic billboards with blazing neon pink and blue backgrounds advertising the Windows Phone. Very pretty and attractive colors to attract you to read the billboard, but that does not mean people are buying the phone. The TV show "Gossip Girl" switched to Windows phones in their final season as publicity. But they still not have dented the the Apple/Samsung fortress at all.
I'm anxious to see the sales number of the BlackBerry phones here in the US.
I'm seeing a huge Blackberry advertising presence in Montreal. Billboards, posters, TV commercials, 'brought to you buy' TV spots, etc. I even saw the Blackberry van patrolling around the downtown streets a few weeks ago.
i really hope that the adverts are as great in the rest in canada as it is here in Montreal. like you mentioned, they really use all available media to advertise the Z10 : i eared this radio ad to win a z10 on virgin radio Montreal this morning, than before living home i saw another one on radio Canada (the french Canadian broadcast television) again , in the metro i was reading a news paper and their were several adds in there as well. if its really like that all over the country, than i promise everyone will know about this phone in a few weeks.
To those of you on T-Mo I think this may have been part of their marketing strategy to prolong the excitement and prevent the BB10 launch from being just a flash in the pan soon forgotten.
Consider this: long-awaited launch on Jan 30, slight delay till variously-spaced international launches, then slight delay till US launch separated into att launch, then vzw launch, then tmo launch . . the I'd bet after a slight delay there will be the various Q10 launches, then followed by another device launch and/or possible playbook bb10 update.
If they had just dumped the truck Jan 30 and/or launched everywhere at once there would be a chance that it could have gotten lost after htc/samsung/other product launches, as it is the excitement and anticipation keeps growing . .
so take heart, you may be part of the master plan ;)
I think your analysis is spot on +1000
Keeping their name in the news weekly with the staggered launches. And it's worked even better since most of the launches have been considered more "successful" than not, so far. So it's not just constant news, it's constant good news, and that's the type of stuff that helps change perception.
Looks like Samsung's billion-dollar advertising budget is working. Does anybody know BlackBerry's 2013 advertising & promotion budget?
I heard last year Samsung spent 400+ million on advertising and Apple spent 300+ million. BlackBerry should at least spend 300+ M in my opinion. I have not saw a commercial yet, other than the super bowl. It should be a barrage of commercials these next few months to get even more attention. Other than BB fans, no one else cared about the SB ad and it was too far in advance and a waste of money, even though they have it to waste
I think we should launch a campaign to rename New York from being the Big Apple to the Big BlackBerry! :)
Kevin, sounds like a good plan but is it executable? we need to have everything and everyone on our side to accomplish that. we need to have major apps that appeal not just to business people but also to teenagers. for BB10 to succeed we need to be able to attract college and high school kids as they are the ones who can market the phone better. if a college or high school kid loves his/her BB10 device and it has all the apps needed, trust them to try to get their friends on it too. look at IOS and Andriod phones, asides from the big $$$ spent, word of mouth ad has gone a long way for them too. My friends are stil trying to get me to dump both my bbs but i will be getting both the Z10 and Q10 to show them whats special about BB10.
Well... in this case I was just the idea guy. Didn't think about execution.
I don't think you'll ever get NYC to lose the Big Apple name. Ppl would get angry. But I'm sure there's some fun to be had here one way or another :)
Other then 5 of my friends that have the z10, haven't seen them in person yet but I have yet to see a Z10 in the wild. I live in Cambridge, ON and work in Mississauga.
In my office they don't support BB's, they are an iPhone shop and now allow Androids. Use Airwatch as the MDM client. I have reached out to Airwatch to see when they will support BB10. Hopefully I can use my device at work.
Haven't seen one in the wild yet but have been using my white z10 in NYC. Most of my work involves photography or video so use my phone to show examples, etc. I can't count how many times someone would stop me mid sentence and "that's a blackberry?" which happens about 30 seconds after they look at the screen and then notice the subtle branding on the bottom. It is then followed by excitement and generally playing with the phone and loving it.
I think the success of the platform will be really influenced by people actually seeing it in the wild and becoming accustomed to it more than by advertising. The goal is to break of the stigma created by older devices and the only way to do that is to see the phone running smoothly and perfectly.
"[breaking] the stigma created by older devices"
I could not possibly agree with this statement more. In my opinion, that is BB's single greatest obstacle, and the only thing I feel could stand in their way with BB10. Problem is, EVERYBODY knows of BB; the BB of old. When I mention BB to people they refer to it as a dinosaur, because NOBODY is aware that BB has completely rebuilt their OS from the ground up (except for people like us). The only ad I saw (Super Bowl) did not make it clear (I think) to a layperson that BB is completely, completely different now. I almost feel that BB advertisement needs to make fun of their own legacy devices (no disrespect to people who own one), to draw attention to their brand new, modern OS. "Remember BB? Well, scratch that! BB has completely reinvented itself from the ground up, with a completely, brand new, modern OS!" Then cite a few rave reviews. At least people might change their mindset and be willing to pay attention. Otherwise, they'll just ignore it thinking it's more of the same old... I really believe they need to emphasize *an all new BB experience - RE-built from the ground up*, or people will largely dismiss it. I teach at an American University, and none of my students seem to be aware that BB has a brand new OS.
I've seen plenty of advertisements and I'm sure plenty of people are aware of BB10 but I don't know how many people actually know anything about the devices or OS itself. The most important thing is going to be getting the actual phone into peoples hands so they can say for themselves "Yes, this is different from iOS/Android and I like it... a lot... take my money."
Definitely seeing BlackBerry advertising everywhere in Vancouver... at bus stops, on busses, at airports (demo booths at Vancouver and Toronto), large wall-sized billboards at airports in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, on AirCanada boarding passes, newspapers, websites... everyday, I see something about Z10.
I get the Globe and Mail everyday at my desk, and for the last month and a half there has been one full size or at least half page size ad EVERY DAY.
Some days the ads are BlackBerry only and others are from the carriers with a huge picture of the Z10 on them. You can tell there has been an excellent team work between the carriers and BlackBerry.
That van looks like come kids I got blackberry z10 for you and then kidnap them hahaha
Batberry Z10
This put a big smile on my face!
This is the first post of a comment since I got my Z10. I like the new website guys! Anyway, I can Honestly say I am proud to see such good advertising and consistent advertising of a platform that is really better than the others. I was embarrassed by one ad last year(or maybe two years ago) with the rock and roll and Parrots. What I have also en has been what I was hoping for. No Apple condescending stuff, no Samsung goof off stuff, more 'The BlackBerry is your Partner'!

Last night at around 11pm I saw the TV Just Keep Moving ad for the first time. Nice. That is the first real BlackBerry ad I have seen in a long, long time. Not only Keep It Moving, but Keep It Coming, BlackBerry!n
There's will be a Battle when S IV going to the market at the same time. I hope the best for Blackberry Z10 can do.. Remember this is the place where's Apple born and every corners occupied by Sammy. But Nothing is impossible. God bless America !
Here in Montréal the ads are crazy downtown, in malls, everywhere . Every tech store I step into, their ad is posted. Walmart spams it. I go on YouTube and the blackberry Z10 ad just decides to play for itself while I watch my videos. Very bold haha.
But they have been very good so far and based on that graph, sales will continue to rise when people become more aware if the device. Heck even we as Z10 owners are doing marketing, but for free :/

Interesting Simon, thanks.
I will drive that van around town to help advertise! Tell me what I have to do!
i live in alberta, but yes every where i look i see bbz10 adds..lots on tv on the interweb... lots and lots of adds...bbery is doing its work in overdrive to get the word out on the new phone...
lots of bell adds promoting the z10. i would say its all positive. futureshop cell mag for this month as a big write up on the z10....
tons of exposure in montreal,nice to be riding a wave with my Z10 by my side
I'm happy that BlackBerry is selling device but this article is misleading. What are the numbers for last year? The only percentage that should be accounted for is the difference between the drop of last year compared to this year. If you wanted to get technical you may want to compare the trend of the last 3 years. Also other factors are in place outside of what is mentioned in this article. Your better than this CrackBerry.
Here in upstate NY I haven't seen many ads but I did pick up a Sunday NY Times on March 3 and there was a full-page BlackBerry ad on page 7 featuring the Hub. I don't pick up the Times every Sunday but I would be very surprised if they didn't have an ad in last Sunday's paper also, as well as in daily editions. Otherwise, I have just been a few small ads here and there. I hope to see many more as we get closer to the carriers' releases.
Definitely the Marketing team is doing their job with Blackberry. That was something that they guarded down in previous release. And Marketing is the Key, otherwise ask Apple. They have been able to promote their products even thought it doesn't worth it and people anyways go and buy them.
i feel like they need to increase the marketing a bit....i live in NYC and I stil havent seen a commercial on TV, nor have I seen any prints, ads. I have seen a few online banners though
They should send us a bunch of stickers for cars and everywhere. We can help advertise for them woohoo
Posted via CB10
I like that idea. I'd rock a BB, Z10 or #TeamBlackBerry sticker for the cause. When my Z10 comes in I'll be waving that baby around like a BB flag. ;-)
Unfortunately where i live is all about Iphones and S3.
People are not willing to give it a chance.
Sometimes i am asked if my z10 is a torch...
Posted via CB10
In Canada, like many of you said we see a lot of adds. For the US folks, the adds should start soon. In Canada, they started as soon has the BB10 became available in stores not before. I truly love my Z10, it's light years ahead of my old BlackBerry Torch 9800. I was worry about not having a physical keyboard, but the BlackBerry 10 keyboard work extremely well. Won't change for a Q10.
I'm a Canadian z10 user and previous iPhone and Samsung user too. And the z10 is by far the best phone to date. Just needs more apps but they are coming.
Posted via CB10
I live in the Chicago, IL area and the only ad I have seen was the Super Bowl ad. Just the same, I pre-ordered my white Z10 with Verizon today. I have a business account and the phone is to be mailed to me. Until yesterday, I didn't think I would see a phone until May. Perhaps, I'll get lucky and see the phone prior to the scheduled March 28.
I hope that CB reposts a lot of the Z10 articles once the US launch arrives. All of the articles have been nice to see but, if you don't have one yet, it's almost a waste. The future of BB is reliant on the success of BB10 in the US market....no question about it. Hopefully Kevin and the gang are listening.
Not sure if people are aware, but the new Samsung G4 seems to have copied BlackBerry's HUB which they call the Samsung Hub. I think this alone will be a threat to BB10.
The iPhone should continue to lose market share as soon as word of mouth gets aggressive with very happy Z10 owners. Seems Samsung has an issue on innovating and so they resort to copying the competition.
...And Samsung dares to call it the "Hub"? Bring on the lawyers..
I think that the choice Blackberry made in delaying the launch in the States was brilliant. This is key, the USA is key for a successful launch. They chose to roll out in proven markets, primarily Britain and Canada, worked out initial bugs, not many, but critical to a successful launch. Buzz in the States among existing users has grown...they will not be disappointed. I believe in general that BB attracts the more reserved, intelligent cross section of the population and at this point traction is there....a month ago, I was not sure, now I am.
All bus stops a round mine on the way to Manchester (UK) have either a film trailer or the Z10!

Like other U.S. posters, I have not seen any advertisements in print, radio or TV other than the Super Bowl ad - and I watch way too much TV. Maybe I'm on the wrong channels. I am seeing plenty of iCommercials, and now, a ton of S4 ads. I would love to see Blackberry make a big splash during the coverage of the NCAA tournament ("Marchberry Madness").

I have seen this in my D700 menu and just saw it again on Nikon's tech sheet for the new D4. Is this the same tech that Minolta is using to clean their sensor of dust or is it something else? How does it work and what does it do?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Photography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No it's not for cleaning dust off the sensor, although there is an anti-dust feature that basically shakes off dust.
The dust-off reference feature has you take a shot of a featureless wall, piece of paper, overcast sky. You load that image into Capture NX2 software, and it then determines where dust spots (darker areas) are, and it then can automatically fix those areas in future images you take.
It would be nice if cameras could do this processing in-camera, but I'm not aware of any that do.

I have a Syncrowave 350LX with either more miles than the sun, or very few. I held down the current and output buttons and read the display. It had 18.7 766 for the time and 03.6 714 for the cycles. The manual doesn't tell me anything about what the decimal means. No idea if that's 18.7 hour or 18.7 thousand. The machine is in great shape and everything works just fine. Turns out I really want a mig machine, so I'm selling this one and the question of hours came up.

Figuring out the hours on a 350LX
Yep would read 18,776 hours 6 minutes
Cycles may have been wrapped, so 1,036,714 cycles, or just 36,714 cycles. Going to guess though that if its 36,714 cycles then the unit was running on a robot during its life before you bought it.
This is quite possible depending on the serial#

Colorado 12s Win Historic State Cup
This past weekend The Colorado Rush U12 Nike Girls became State Cup Champions, marking the 100th State Cup title for the club since officially becoming Colorado Rush! The team scored 23 goals and conceded only 6 throughout the tournament. Before the Final game a group of players provided a pregame speech, "Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION." This was the focus of the speech and the girls lived up to it in their style of play.
The girls met Real National in the final game and Cori Dyke found the net with a left footed volley early in the game. Rush played with confidence and high energy, soon they earned a corner kick and Erin Hohnstein headed the ball with perfect placement for goal number two. Real got the ball behind our defense and were able to score late in the first half.
The girls went into the second half with a 2-1 lead and were determined to continue the excitement, the Rush style passing and fun on the field. Carlee Giammona took the ball out of the air with her chest and had a beautiful volley in the net for a 3-1 lead. A penalty was called on our relentless defense and Real was given a penalty kick to bring the score close again. The energy was high and the girls were confident they would score again. Audrey Weiss shot from 25 yards out and brought the score to 4-2 which remained the final score of the game.
A job well done by all! The excitement as the final whistle blew was felt across the field as Rush fans erupted in cheer, the team met in the middle for a celebratory embrace and Rush players from older and younger teams joined in the excitement. The girls glowed and their smiles grew as reality set in they were headed to Hawaii. The Team congratulated Bella Scaturro as MVP of the game for her impact in defense, runs up the field and overall high level of play. Decorated with metals and Hawaiian Lei's the girls celebrated, honored their coaches Erik Bushey and Jordan Angelli, and enjoyed holding their huge trophy high above their heads.
We wish the girls great luck in Hawaii and know they will represent Colorado Rush as Champions!

Indianapolis, In- Thursday morning, January 3rd, at 6:18 a.m., Indiana State Police responded to the report of utility wires down across EB and WB I-70 at the 88.7mm. (Shadeland Avenue/I-465 ramps) Troopers also located utility wires across the ramp to I-465 from EB I-70. Troopers closed east and west bound I-70 and the ramp while utility crews were summoned to make the necessary repairs.
During this time, troopers learned that the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was on the scene of a single vehicle fatal crash on Shadeland Avenue under I-70. The crash involved utility wires and a severed utility pole.
Ultimately, officers learned that the downed utility wires were the result of the fatal crash and that the incident had began on EB I-70.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 1992 Ford Probe was EB on I-70 over Shadeland Avenue at a high rate of speed. The vehicle went off the right side of the roadway, over the concrete wall of I-70, severed a utility pole, struck the concrete wall of the I-465 ramp and landed on Shadeland Avenue approximately twenty feet below I-70. The vehicle came to rest against the concrete dividing wall of north and south bound Shadeland Avenue.
The Marion County Coroner's Office has identified the victim as Charles Wayne Barker, 58, of Indianapolis. The family has been notified.
Investigating Officer: Trooper Ginger Marshall, Sergeant Kay McNeely and Senior Trooper Kurt Steinkamp, Indiana State Police

Sergio Perez is adamant his focus has not wavered since signing with McLaren despite a dip in form suggesting otherwise...
Sergio Perez is adamant his focus has not wavered since signing with McLaren despite a dip in form suggesting otherwise.
With three podium results to his name, McLaren opted to sign Perez as Lewis Hamilton's replacement for next season, making the announcement in the wake of the Singapore GP.
But since then Perez has failed to score a single World Championship point.
Retiring in Japan and India - both due to incidents with other drivers, the Mexican driver brought his Sauber home in 11th place in Korea bringing his total of points to zero.
The 22-year-old, though, insists it is not because his mind is elsewhere.
"I am fully focused. If the result hasn't come then there is a reason for that," Perez said.
"What has happened is just a coincidence. The people in my team know what is going on, and they're the only people who concern me at the moment.
"I just want to give my best, but it's normal people start to make up stories I'm not doing very well following the McLaren deal.
"This isn't true, it's not right, although it doesn't bother me at all because my team are fighting so much - the engineers, mechanics.
"When people read it maybe they get a bit frustrated, but they know I'm giving my maximum to score some points, and I will keep doing this until my last lap with Sauber."

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. If the second dual of $A$, which is the enveloping von Neumann algebra of $A$, is atomic, can we deduce that $A$ is an ideal in its second dual ?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
MathOverflow is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No. Take $A$ to be $c$, the space of convergent sequences. Its second dual is $l^\infty$, which is atomic, but it is not an ideal of $l^\infty$.
