Makin' Whoopee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Donaldson and Kahn song. For Susan Stroman's 2004 ballet, see Double Feature (ballet).
|"Makin' Whoopee"
|Jazz, blues
|Gus Kahn
|Walter Donaldson
"Makin' Whoopee!" is a jazz/blues song, first popularized by Eddie Cantor in the 1928 musical Whoopee! Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics and Walter Donaldson composed the music for the song as well as for the entire musical.
The title is a euphemism for sexual intimacy,[1] and the song has been called a "dire warning", largely to men, about the "trap" of marriage.[2] "Makin' Whoopee" begins with the celebration of a wedding, honeymoon and marital bliss, but moves on to babies and responsibilities, and ultimately on to affairs and possible divorce, ending with a judge's advice.

Rowland Reveling In Life After Destiny
With Destiny's Child having called it a career this fall, group member Kelly Rowland has quickly dived in to work on her next solo album.With Destiny's Child having called it a career this fall, group member Kelly Rowland has quickly dived in to work on her next solo album. Among the collaborators on the as-yet-untitled Columbia set are songwriter Sean Garrett and Solange Knowles, the younger sister of Rowland's Destiny's Child cohort Beyonce.
"It has been a very personal album for me," Rowland tells Billboard.com. "It has been one of the best experiences of my life. It's a look into the past two years, going through different relationships, love and growing as a woman. It's a soul-searching record. It's really beautiful."
Rowland's ex-group mates will not be far from her thoughts as the creative process rolls forward. "Michelle [Williams] is in the studio right now writing a song for my album," she enthuses. "And I'm going to play all the songs for Beyonce and see which ones are her favorites. I always look to her for advice."
The upcoming album is the follow-up to Rowland's 2002 solo debut, "Simply Deep," which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 12 on The Billboard 200.
As previously reported, a DVD taped at Destiny's Child's July 15 show in Atlanta will arrive in February. "We have so many funny moments, like bringing guys up in different cities during 'Cater 2 U,'" Rowland says. "There's a performance with myself and Nelly. We let you backstage, like right before we go up the lift. We wanted everybody to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes."

"River of Loss: The Plunge of Sorrow" by Roshi Joan Halifax
The sorrow of all our human losses, great and small, anticipatory or contemporary, feeds into a river that runs beneath our lives. When that dark water breaks through the surface, at first we feel totally alone.
The Power of Presence ~ Part Two: A Reflection on Being with Dying
Roshi Joan reminds us that "no matter how unbearable any discomfort seems, ultimately every experience is temporary." Therefore it is important to show up for your life every moment because it is perfect just as it is.
Street Koans: Walking in Beauty by Kineret Yardena
…I wanted to be there, to get close to what I had learned to move far away from. Deep entrenched poverty, dirtiness-bone-deep-filth, instability, aching belly hunger, sleeping on sidewalks, sleeping in cars, not having or holding down a job, drug addiction…everything that my parents and grandparents have spent their whole lives knowingly and unknowingly being […]
"Money Is Like Water" ~ A Story from Lynne Twist
The money I received from Gertrude carried the energy of her commitment to make a difference—the stamp of her soul—and as I accepted the money, I felt inspired by her and renewed by her expression of integrity and purpose.

by Beverley Haines
After leaving Devon and moving to glorious Richmond, Beverley Haines swapped the wilds of Dartmoor for the wilder Yorkshire Dales, got serious about drawing and says she has never looked back.
When I arrived in North Yorkshire I decided my hobby and real passion, drawing, deserved to be pursued in a more dedicated manner. I enrolled on an illustration degree, which I am moving through now at a part time pace. I knew that I wanted to draw, that I am at peace when I am drawing and that life seems to make more sense to me when I draw it.
Cows in Barn, Beverley Haines
I am endlessly fascinated by people, particularly by how they think. I work part time as a group facilitator helping people to deal with depression and anxiety and find inspiration daily from the people I meet, their lives, traumas and passions.
Beverley Haines gallery
Illustration is a wonderful art form, it allows me to think underneath, above, beyond and through meaning.
Field Sheep, Beverley Haines
I was always flummoxed when left with a blank piece of paper and asked to just 'draw something.' My judging brain got in the way and found it hard to focus on just one thing.
The infinite possibilities just made that blank paper seem enormous. But if you tell me a poem, sing me a song, or read me a book, the images come thick and fast.
My personal style is continually developing. I am interested in simplicity of line and vibrancy of colour and tend to use pen and ink and very soft pastels most of the time.
I am always looking to convey mood and feeling in what I do without moving into the world of 'whimsy'. Most of all I love drawing and I hope that this always comes across in what I do.

Skip to comments.LIVE THREAD--Election Day 2010!
Posted on 11/02/2010 6:57:53 AM PDT by SE Mom
Post what you're seeing, hearing in your district, county or state during the day and evening- anecdotal or otherwise!
don't anyone ever talk about how patriotic libertarians are......they are rat plants and the worse of the worse....they're nothing but blue dogs being paid under the table probably by the rats....
so what would happen is we started pushing the green party?....
libertarians are whipping boys for the rats....plain and simple...

libertarians are whipping boys for the rats....plain and simple...
"There wont be too many Blue Dogs left after tonight. And Red State Democratic Senators have to be very worried."
Yeah, and I think there are more Democratic Senate seats up next time around. Sen. Jim Webb (D) Virginia being one of them.
its late......*sigh*
"so what would happen is we started pushing the green party?...."
What's good for the goose is sauce for the gander. Although I'd rather see conservatives push for a more palatable alternative for a second party.
But its good lateness. A goody to be true lateness. I must be sounding like Buffy. But sometimes Valley girl speak captures the mood I'm in now!
Do we have anything close to the final House numbers yet?
Anyone know?
I think 250 is about it. And the Democrats have been held under 200 seats for the first time in American history. That is a mission accomplished!
239-243 for the Rep, 193-196 for the Dems.
A veto-proof majority... so close! But no ceegar...
I'll take what I can get. We exceeded all expectations. Let the Democrats and the MSM belittle this huge victory. Savor the moment.
One like this will never come again.
I hope it never happens again, because it would mean we're in the minority again.
I believe of the 33 Senate seats up in 2012, 23 are currently held by Democrats. It is imperative that we have a strong Presidential candidate with big coattails.
I had to finally crash at 11p and waking up.. I really thought Moocowski was going down. Damn.
I for one am totally disappointed. NY and California elected all the same bums back in. Any country that can re elect Reid , Boxer ,Frank knowing what they are ..well we're doomed.
The American people have once again proven to me that they are ignorant beyond words and deserve the Marxist hacks they continue to elect and give power.
Don't worry ,Obama or Klinton will be president next time around too ,%100 positive of that
.I give up . After all the education of talk radio , Rush , Levin , Beck Fox news and FR so many out and out hacks and Marxist are STILL in power.How can that be ?
Nevada deserves to be nuked off the planet and I hope there is a national boycott of the state to the point where we starve them to death , Nevada needs to be punished heavily for putting that bastard Reid in power again.
Nice try folks but no cigar..little if anything will change.
Lots of noise but very little substance. This country deserves the government it gets...Strap yourself in , it's going to get worse.
In CA-51, I am truly disappointed to see Popaditch lose that one. Filner is an imbecile.
Of the 435 houses races, Republicans won 240 to their 190 (a few remains to be determined).
Of the 37 Senates races, Republicans won 24 to their 11 (2 to be determined).
Of the 35 Governor races, Republicans won 24 to their 11.
If you're disappointed by those numbers, you had way too unrealistic expectations.
I feel the same way. Too many convincing victories for people like Reid, Brown, Coons and Blumenthal in CT for me to do a happy dance. The house might be able to make some noise but as a whole, the fact that guys like Alvin Greene got any votes is very troubling. The only thing this election told me is that people with great ideas like Sarah Palin won't be able to win national elections because of the entrenched corruption in places like Washington state and Nevada.
Too many people vote party, not principle and it'll be the death of this country.
You are never going to see a victory this large for conservatism while you are alive. I'm 67 and this is the biggest win in my life. Please grow a brain.
which means we must defend the 10 pub seats and earn 10 more....all the while keeping the House majority....
so save your money...
Veto-proof would be 2/3 of 435, or 290 seats.
The GOP won nearly 60% of the House seats. That is a very respectable showing!
If the house alone can prevent the President from appointing radicals to the federal bench, let me know. A closer Senate was the brass ring and this election proved that the entrenched corruption in states that we need to flip to win in 2012 can be the deciding factor. I worked for the democrats in the 90's and they will take this divisive strategy into 2012 because all they have to do is hold serve.
We won loads of seats in the house but we all don't want another 1996. If the senate was closer, it would have meant more to the white house because they value the senate more than the voice of the individual districts. This man more than any president before him has shown he does not care what the people think.
A Republican house will be an annoyance to the President but not much of an impediment.
Maybe he meant RINO-proof.
We all know the "downside" of being a "Washington" candidate, but the upside is you do learn to vet yourself early; to avoid saying stupid things as much as possible; and to get your support lined up. In both Alaska and New Jersey---however much people want to blame Rover or the "party"---you had the Tea Party people running both against the Dem and the insider establishment. That's a tall order. I think Paul, Rubio, maybe Scott if he pulls it out have shown that there are ways to do this, but that there's no room for big mistakes.
I think to some degree the criticism of these people that they allowed themselves to be dragged into STATE elections vs. nationalizing the elections (in the case of DE and AK, especially) was a mistake. I know O'Donnell thought she was trying to focus on DE, but in the process she lost part of the message that it was the federal government that was the problem. I don't know---just throwing out ideas. But one thing that CANNOT happen is for conservatives to just assume that because you put up someone with the "right" ideas they will win. It takes both competence AND conservatism, especially in blue states.
I know. If, as a Cowboys fan, I didn't hate the Steelers soooooo much, it would have been funny.
And the dims want to call the Republicans a regional party? That red, including the red gains, looks about as evenly distributed as you can get.
It requires a solid 40 Senators to block appointments and we now have that. Previously we didn't. The White House can' spend a dime without getting it from the House of Representatives, and Obama will never get that without paying heavily. We are not going to see 1996 because Bob Dole isn't running.
In any case the point of my post was about the size of the election victory, not what are prospects are for the future, which is highly unknowable.
Wonder if any Dims will jump ship...
just what we need... a bunch of repocrats...
There are Red State Dem Senators who can see Obummer can do nothing for them. You think they want to walk that plank in the lame duck session? Think again.
c'mon guys, get a grip
I'm disgusted by the 'Rats who won but there were lots of good victories — picking up 60+ seats in the House and 6 or so in the Senate? Amazing when you consider the triumphant tide of the Obamanation just 2 years ago.
I can remember the years (long ago) when it seemed impossible that the House would ever be denied to the Demagogues, yet now the Pelosicrats have been thrown out on their butts. Demagogues dominated the House for much of the past 70+ years.
This is a "glass half full" not half-empty kind of moment. More than half full, really, we've put the Obamacrats on the path to a total repudiation in 2012 if the Rs don't blow it in the next 12+ months.
I've become more of a long term thinker. Like it or not, the 2012 election starts today and we need to keep the bigger picture "numbers game" top of mind. Trust me, the dems are sitting around this morning with a huge map figuring out what messaging works in places like Ohio, Indiana, Colorado and NC and how they can hold on to an electoral 51% to keep Obama in power. It is their singular goal for the next 24 months and preventing it must be our singular goal if we are to succeed in getting the country on track.
I think we'll do better. We've seen the mistakes the Democrats made and won't mess it up. The Democrats arrogance, contempt and condescension was their undoing. Our new Speaker Elect is not like Nancy Pelosi.
Some of these guys are screwed up too tight. Elections don't work like the guillotine in the Revolution, we can't get everybody at the same time.
I am happy that I never will be in a fox hole with you.
Hi Star,
I wonder if Boehner and the House can cut President Sandtraps and Michelle Ma Belle's travel and entertainment budget. We'd save a boatload of $s right there.
As we've all mentioned from time to time here on FR, if President Bush and Laura had been having weekly entertainment nights and dinners, lavish excursions, etc., we never would have heard the end of it. As it is, the LSM went on and on about him spending vacations at his ranch in Crawford, which, as you know, was set-up to act as a satellite WH.
BTW - I hear the Obama's are spending Christmas in Hawaii again this year. W always spent it at Camp David so a majority o fthe staff could spend Christmas with their families.
There is no room in my foxhole for you either.
Wow...I just got up and feel like you do about what you wrote.
I should be happy, but am depressed about the Calif and NY and know we will supposed to bail them out next. And Nevada?disgusting.
"The Tea Party involvement and takeover of the Republican Party has just begun."
I think that's right! The pundits are focusing on how Christine & Angle didn't win - and they were Tea Party & Sarah's picks. Let's talk about Tea Party & Sarah's endorsements that DID win, such as Rubio, Paul, West, Webster, Haley, Martinez, etc. They're concentrating on the Senate, but let's look at the House, too. I'm disappointed in some of the losses (primarily Senate), but celebrating all of the House and Gov wins. I'm also interested in how many state legislatures switched to R - - combined with the governors, that will be hugh in redistricting.
Still holding out hope for Rossi, Buck & Miller!
Our county election board computers crashed, we still don't know whassup.
Christine just flat out got beat, but Reid was FRAUD. The numbers cast for the GOP Governor make that obvious...65,000 split the ticket? Puh-leeze.
If they're in central KC (Bagdad Jim McDermott (Commie) - Rep), probably not good; however, if they're in east and southeast KC, he may still have a chance.
I would certainly think she will win and she's Great!!
I heard her recently on a few talk shows and saw the video she did. Now that the Pubbies will be leading the House, I think/hope she'll be more visible.
I agree!
Rove just said that Pubbies picked up something like 500 state legislature seats. And, in some states, such as AL & NC, the Pubbies hadn't controlled the legislature in years. R's control the Senate in AL - 1st time since 1938. 20 seats to R in Texas state house. IMHO, those are HUGH accomplishments, too! Those, plus the increase in R governors will certainly help with redistricting!
I haven't seen all the numbers from NV. Based on what I've been reading on FR, the counts for Reid do seem very *fishy*. Was there any more on the machines that were automatically set for Reid and SEIU being the 'repairmen' for them?
What state/county are you in? Is it a D or R leaning county?
Does anyone know how many SoS were up for re-election? I'm hoping the R's won those to try to crush the Soros SoS Project.
re: 500+ new state legislators
and as a conservative movement we need to focus a great deal upon cultivating, supporting, improving state legislators and local officials across the land who are the future
It's hard to win with "outsiders" ala Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, McMahon, Joe Miller etc. Good as they are for their ideas, we need more candidates with those ideas who also have lots of relevant govt. experience. Like it or not, there are plenty of voters who are not going to pull the level or punch the ballot card for someone they think of as a total neophyte in governance.
We can keep running such outsiders to lose, or we can develop more Ronald Reagan allies within the belly of the beast. (of course, Reagan was an "outsider" to the political establishment when he first ran for and won election as Governor of CA)

The following is a physician-patient interaction that took place within TheBody.com's "Ask the Experts" forum on hepatitis.
|hep c virus screenings
Jul 22, 2013
What does it mean when my blood sample was reactive for the Hepatitis C Virus antibody?
| Response from Dr. Taylor
This means that you have been exposed to hepatitis C virus infection.
The next test to determine if you have hep C or not, is the test for the virus itself, hepatitis C RNA by PCR. If this is positive, you have chronic hepatitis C. If negative, you likely cleared away the infection on your own; this occurs in about 15% of people within the first 6 months of exposure. If the first HCV RNA test is negative, ideally it is helpful to get a second test for the virus 6-12 weeks after the first to confirm the result as with a new infection the viral level can bounce around from low to high.
Return to our full listing of answers to patients' frequently asked questions regarding hepatitis C transmission, testing, management and treatment.

A favorite in our house,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fire Truck to the Rescue! (LEGO City, Scholastic Reader: Level 1) (Paperback)
My 4 year old son loves all the Lego City books. He's not reading yet, but we have started doing some word recognition with these books. He regularly chooses this and his other Lego City books for us to read to him. The text is very simple, the pictures have enough detail to keep his interest and the story is short but complete. Unlike some other beginning readers where the story is boring and almost nonsensical, this one is a winner.

But what about "real" colleges? They're pushing huge debts on students, too. We crunched the numbers to find the worst (NYU).In a recent press release, the Washington Post Company—which owns Kaplan, a leading for-profit education company—referred to a recent report by the Education Department which listed debt repayment figures for every college in the nation. We sorted the list by total student debt load. The top three offenders were all for-profit schools: The University of Phoenix (nearly $5 billion in total student debt), Nova Southeastern University ($1.1 billion), and American Intercontinental University ($810 million). But the #4 school was our old friend: New York University, with $659 million in total student debt. In fact, NYU's student debt alone is bigger than the gross domestic product of 12 countries. Advertisement Without further ado, the top ten "real" (not "for-profit") colleges, by total student debt: 1) New York University: $659 million 2) University of Southern California: $631 million 3) Penn State University: $590 million 4) Ohio State University: $560 million 5) University of Minnesota: $495 million 6) Arizona State University: $479 million 7) University of Texas: $474 million 8) Michigan State University: $433 million 9) Indiana University- Purdue University: $421 million 10) Rutgers: $398 million Sponsored Clearly, big schools will have bigger debt loads. (If you're interested in per-student debt figures, see the linked source material). But the size of these figures should give the hordes of incoming freshmen something to think about.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Fantasy Basketball Sleepers and Busts
Hey there, I'm making a potential list of fantasy basketball sleepers and busts and I was hoping for opinions.
Thaddeus Young, Derrick Favors, Tristan Thompson, Kelly Olynyk, Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Brandon Bass, Danny Green, Gary Neal, Joe Johnson, Jeff Green, Jonas Valanciunas
JR Smith, Danilo Gallinari, Danny Granger, Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, Andrew Bogut
Any thoughts? Am I right on these sleepers and busts and do you have any to add?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It's looking like Corey Brewer and Reggie Jackson could also be nice sleepers, at least for the 1st part of this season. They are both likely to be starters due to teammate's injuries, but when those teammates come back, they both have a nice chance of retaining a 6tth man role, and I think if they average 28 MPG or more they would be worth owning in all formats.
In case you don't know, Corey Brewer could start at SF for Minnesota because of the injury to Chase Budinger (who before the surgery was on my sleeper list). There's a chance that Derrick Williams starts at SF instead, but he doesn't like the 3 and would much rather play the 4, and I just don't see them going with DW over Brewer. With 30+ MPG Brewer would basically be a must own player. He put on some muscle weight this off season to better compete with bigger SF's. And although he's not the most well rounded fantasy player (rather poor %'s, and a lack of rebs or assists will always keep his value down) His ability to score and ,aom;y hit the 3, and his elite defensive skill set (steals) make him worth owning in my book. Although this team won't have as fast of a pace as Denver did last year, Brewer should be able to duplicate, if not expand on his averages from last year as long as he is starting. A slower pace will effect his stats somewhat, but his averages last year came in only 25 MPG, so the extra playing time should make up for it.
And everyone saw what Reggie Jackson was capable of doing, late last year when Westbrook went down. He looked comfortable running the point, and I see now reason why he won't pick up this year where he left off last. I had Jackson on my deep sleeper list before the latest news about Westbrook, but his value goes up even more now. I think 13pts, 4 rebs, 4 asts with 1+ steals and close to 1 3PTM with nice %'s isn't too far fetched as long as he is starting. And I'd take those numbers all day long from a player I got in the last 1 or 2 rounds.
Maybe I don't get things right, but how can guys like Favors, J. Green, Millsap or Bledsoe be labeled as sleepers? I think no one is a sleeper who will very probably drafted in the first 3-5 rounds. I mean everyone knows about them and the expectations are very high so it would be a surprise if any of them failed this year.
I think Robin Lopez will have a great year. Aldridge plays from the outside and Robin will be picking up boards and blocks all day long. He should also get a lot of minutes. I also like Dalembert in Dallas
I think all of your sleepers have very good potential to have good value this year but there are a handful of them that in competitive leagues cannot be considered sleepers anymore. Guys like Thad Young, Derrick Favors, Jeff Green and Jonas Valanciunas especially. Everybody who watches a lot of nba or pays attention knows that they have all shown hints of potential at the very least in the past, and due to team circumstances are all primed for much bigger roles this season. I would have ALL of those guys on my watch list, but would not personally consider them sleepers.
I like all of your busts. Pause. But all those guys are so talented or have had so much value in the past that it Is hard to consider them all KEEP AWAY players, or players that I go out of my way to avoid in fantasy. Depending on where they are drafted they could still be worth a roster spot as long as you keep expectations in check. Honestly Eric Gordon and Andrew Bogut both have a chance to stay healthy and quickly move from your bust list to your sleep list! Remember it wasn't that long ago that people were saying, sure Steph Curry is super talented, but I'd stay far far away from him because of his ankles. No he is slated as a top 10 pick in nearly every league.
If you are adding Bass and Olynyk as sleepers you might as well add Kris Humphries. At least 1 out of those 3 should have an above average season in Boston.
I have Greg Oden as a sleeper. I'm not saying you should definitely go out and draft him in any format, but he's a guy I'll be watching very closely and will be ready to #$%$ from the FA list if the time is right and I am not dumping anyone with steady value for him.
Wilson Chandler is another sleep IMO.
I just read the replies and I guess I have a different definition of sleeper. I would NOT consider Eric Bledsoe or Enes Kanter sleepers. The media is going crazy about both of their potential this year.
Thomas Robinson is a good 1. Isaiah Thomas could be.

For deep leagues or deep sleepers, rookies Archie Goodwin and Luigi Datome should be on your watch list. I wouldn't draft them outside of the deepest leagues, but keep an eye. They could get decent minutes right away.
Dirk is once again highest on my list of busts this year, just like he was last year. He's 35, Dallas is gonna limit his minutes, he had knee problems all last season, and yet he's being ranked almost like he's 2006 Dirk. I don't get it. Deron Williams and Ricky Rubio are getting drafted way too high for my tastes as well and are good bust candidates. Obviously if you're drafting Rondo in the first half of the draft, it will be a disappointment.Andrew Bynum (duh), David West is gonna be sharing time with Scola and people seem to be forgetting that.
Milsap, Oladipo, Jeff Teague, Favors, Jrue Holiday, Z-Bo, Monroe, Tobias Harris, Drummond, Amir Johnson (Should have a breakout year and is getting slept on right now), Kanter and Faried are also getting drafted at a discount. Jimmy Butler, Chase Budinger, Wilson Chandler, Verajao, Cody Zeller and Olynick should all provide better returns than their draft spots too.

Scola wont be taking too many minutes away from West because he isn't that good. Dirk was a very efficient scorer last year. And Zach Randolph averages a double double, doesn't seem very asleep to me.
super deep cover sleeper....thomas robinson

That guy ain't sleeping, he's in a coma.
I seriously hope he makes me eat those words cause I really like the Kid, but he's not worth having even in deep leagues right now. Unless LMA goes down with a big injury he is bench fodder picking up garbage time.

thomas robinson? a PF who cant shoot and is stuck behind LMA, RoLo AND Leonard
J. Green, Drummond, Bledsoe, Valanciunas, Kanter, Favors
For your sleepers, I'll have them in this order:
Thad. Young
J. Green
D. Favors
B. Bass
J. Valanciunas
K. Olynyk
T. Thompson
J. Johnson
D. Green
G. Neal
S. Marion
S. Nash
For your busts:
You can still pick these men. Maybe for your bench players. Maybe I'm wrong but these men can still produce decent numbers in 3-4 cats.
Good list....I would add Eric Bledsoe, Enas , Wilson Chandler and Javale McGee to Sleepers and to busts is about right I reckon..

When you say Enas, do you mean Enes Kanter?

Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) provide an alternative surgical corridor to treat benign and malignant lesions of the sinonasal tract and skull base. According to the extent of the lesion and the surgical team experience, an endoscopic endonasal skull base approach can provide exposure of vital neurovascular structures and enable the surgeon to resect the lesion safely and completely.
Similarly, robotic-assisted surgery facilitates the performance of highly complex surgeries in areas of the upper aerodigestive tract that are relatively difficult to access or to manipulate instruments, such as the oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx or hypopharynx, supraglottis, glottis, parapharyngeal space and infratemporal fossa (ITF). Operative time and time of hospitalization are superior to those associated with open approaches and are associated with less morbidity. Various feasibility studies have suggested that robotic-assisted surgery may be applied to skull base surgery with similar results.[1]
In general, skull base surgery is difficult and complex due to its anatomical intricacies, deep-seated nature, and the presence of adjacent vital structures. In addition, the relative rarity of indications increases the difficulty for a surgeon to become familiar with the detailed anatomy and the various pathologies affecting the region. This study was undertaken to better define and understand the potential use and limitations of current robotic approaches to the skull base.
A fresh cadaveric specimen was dissected after approval by the Committee for Oversight of Research Involving the Dead (CORID) at the Robotic Skills Laboratory of The Ohio State University Medical Center. Our laboratory environment was designed to be similar to that of our operating room, using a standard operating room table and securing the specimen with a Mayfield 3-pin fixation system. A da Vinci Surgical System Model S (Intuitive Surgical; Sunnyvale, CA) was used. This robot was equipped with an 8 mm, 0°, and 30° high-definition 3D camera; plus two Endowrist robotic arms equipped with Maryland forceps, unipolar electrocautery (spatula tip) and/or dissecting scissors. A Crowe-Davis oral retractor (Storz, Heidelberg, Germany) maintained the oral aperture and retracted the tongue. A co-surgeon provided additional traction or countertraction, as well as suction of smoke and fluids within the surgical field.
For a combined EEA and TORS technique, a rod lens endoscope (4-mm diameter; 18-cm length) with 0° lens, coupled to a high definition (HD) camera and monitor (Karl Storz Endoscopy Inc., Tuttlingen, Germany) provided visualization during the EEA. In addition, a "Total Performance System" drill (TPS, Stryker Co., Kalamazoo, MI) with an angled hand-piece and 3-mm to 4-mm rough diamond burrs (short and long) and endoscopic dissecting instruments (Karl Storz Endoscopy Inc., Tuttlingen, Germany) were used as needed.
During the transoral approach, the 30° high-definition, 3D camera was inserted into the oral cavity to display the posterior and lateral nasopharynx. In order to avoid conflict within the operative field between the robotic arms and the camera, they were placed as parallel as possible on each side of the camera.
To facilitate the transnasal-transoral approach, we performed a posterior septectomy, thus enabling the transnasal introduction of an 8-mm 0° robotic camera. This provided visualization of upper clivus and the rostral aspect of the sphenoid sinus while transoral robotic instruments were used to dissect.
A transoral corridor provided access to the hard palate. For the transpalatal approach, a U-shaped mucosal incision was performed 5-mm medial to the maxillary dentition of the hard palate. This created a posteriorly based mucoperiosteal flap based on the greater palatine neurovascular pedicles. This flap was elevated following a subperiosteal plane in an anteroposterior direction that reached the posterior-most end of the hard palate. A Sonopet Ultrasonic Aspirator (Stryker Co., Kalamazoo, MI) was used to resect the bony hard palate (horizontal plates of the paired palatine bones, and palatine processes of the maxillae) and vomer, exposing the anterior skull base, clivus, and sphenoid sinus rostrum and floor. After the transpalatal corridor was completed, we introduced an 8-mm 30° camera and the robotic instruments. A complementary endoscopic approach could access the skull base via either the transnasal or transpalatal routes as needed.
Adjunctive transcervical ports, 3 cm to 4 cm below the mandibular angle, allowed the introduction of robotic instruments directed cranially toward the clivus. A 1.5 cm incision allowed the manual introduction of the ports. Robotic instruments were sequentially introduced through these ports while the 30° camera was inserted transorally or the 0°camera was inserted transnasally.
Various combinations of camera corridors (transoral, transpalatal, transnasal) and Endowrist instrument ports (transoral, transpalatal, transcervical) were reviewed (Table 1). The transoral camera (30°) and instruments provided good control of the posterior and lateral nasopharynx; however, they did not provide adequate access and ease of instrumentation over the roof of the nasopharynx or posterior choana. A transnasal camera (0°) and transoral instruments provided great visualization, but instrumentation was cumbersome (Fig. 1). Overall, the transpalatal approach was the best compromise, with very good visualization and instrumentation over the nasopharynx and clivus. In addition, it provided access to the anterior skull base (Figs. 2 and 3). Transcervical ports for the Endowrist instruments provided a superior range of motion and ease of instrumentation with all the camera corridors (Fig. 4). Endoscopic techniques provided the capability of bone drilling and lateral access down to the level of the Eustachian tube (ET).
|Camera Corridor
|Instrument Ports
|Transoral (30°)
|Transnasal (0°)
|Transpalatal (30°)
|Transoral (30°)
|Transnasal (0°)
Modular EEAs can provide exposure to the median skull base from the frontal sinus to the first cervical vertebra (C1). As EEAs extend laterally to the paramedian areas, the extent of inferior exposure usually corresponds to the level of the floor of the antrum/hard palate; or, as we have suggested, the inferior aspect of the ET. Conversely, TORS is limited in its visualization of the median skull base, having some difficulty to expose structures cephalad to the hard palate (i.e., ET). This has been noted by others, such as O'Malley and Weinstein, who circumvented this difficulty using submandibular transcervical ports (C-TORS).[1] Similarly, McCool et al. advocated combining TORS with a suprahyoid trans-cervical port for robotic surgery of the ITF.[2] However, neither of these techniques solved the difficulty associated with the lack of the ability to drill the skull base, a significant drawback of the current da Vinci system.
Other studies have reported application of TORS in the skull base surgery. Hanna et al. reported a robotic transantral approach to the anterior skull base introducing robotic instruments through large bilateral antrostomies combined with a transnasal camera.[3] O'Malley et al. used combined cervical-transoral robotic approach (C-TORS) to dissect the median skull base, sella, parasellar, and suprasellar regions of the anterior skull base.[1] Lee et al. reported a cadaveric feasibility study demonstrating transoral robotic approach to the craniocervical junction and a case report of transoral robotic-assisted odontoidectomy.[4, 5] The latter study concluded that a fully robotic skull base surgery will require the development of bone dissection tools for the robotic arms; however, it also suggested that the unique advantages of robotic surgery will attract attention and further advance the use of robotic techniques in skull base surgery.
In addition, various endoscopic endonasal and robotic techniques for nasopharyngectomy have been reported.[6] Yin et al. were the first to report the use of an endonasal endoscopic approach combined with TORS to remove a small recurrence at the superior aspect of the nasopharynx.[7] Dallan et al. reported a feasibility study illustrating the advantages of a transnasal-transcervical/transoral robotic surgery.[8] These latter authors reported the feasibility of using the robotic camera through the nasal cavity, as suggested by Hanna et al.[3], and inserting transcervical/transoral trocars as corridors for the Endowrist robotic arms, as previously suggested by O'Malley & Weinstein.[1] They concluded that this combined technique avoided the need for transection of the soft palate and seemed adequate for the resection of small tumors.
A combined EEA-TORS (trans-hard palate) technique adds to the armamentarium described by previous authors, as it allows a direct exposure of the skull base from the crista galli to C1. As previously mentioned, another significant limitation of TORS for skull base surgery is the lack of a drill, which impedes the resection of bone, exposure of neurovascular structures surrounded by a bony canal or intracranial work. EEA circumvents this shortcoming.
EEA and TORS are complementary approaches that provide excellent exposure of the posterior skull base, nasopharynx, and ITF; thus, their combined use seems advantageous for the surgical treatment of select advanced tumors in these complex areas. Similarly, the TORS (trans-hard palate) approach offers the best compromise if the surgeon wants to avoid the use of transcervical ports. A thorough understanding of the anatomy from the endoscopic and robotic perspectives is critical for the planning and safe oncologic resection of tumors in this area. A cadaveric model provides the opportunity to acquire anatomical familiarity; however, clinical experience is mandatory as anatomical models fall short of real clinical scenarios. Coupling of robotics with computer navigation and the addition of drills, suction, and uniport technology will spearhead greater changes that will minimize the morbidity and increase the safety of current skull base approaches.

Picked this up at my local Pottery Barn Kids and read it to my son, he loved the pictures and made me reread it several times. Fun little story, cute illustrations.
This book is a playful romp where Duck and Goose get ready for Christmas. It is a fun read to share with a young kids.
I do not understand why this book is called goose and duck...It is a SWAN! It is teaching young children the wrong information. Otherwise, incredibly cute and a great for vocabulary and friendship tools. *confused*
We gave this to my 18 month old grandson for Christmas and he wanted us to read this over and over while he was visiting. He loves animals so he enjoyed Duck and Goose. On each page, "it's not time for ...." (sledding, catching snowflakes, etc.). Read this in a playful voice or it can sound like scolding. Pictures are colorful and attractive.
When the original Duck & Goose book came out, I was working as a children's librarian. There were three of us in our department and we all did story times. I think we ended arm-wrestling to decide who would get to use the book first. I didn't win. Duck and Goose are irretrievably adorable. It's Time for Christmas is a bit silly, but that's not the point. The point is that kids, from babies to early elementary students, love Duck and Goose and everything they do. And this book is full of winter fun. My son has had this book for three years and he still loves it. Maybe because it is a bit silly. Or maybe because he is.
Another great addition to the Duck and Goose line of books. Adorable pictures and cute message make these a favorite in our house.
This is a gem of a board book. The illustrations make you want to open it. Good news, the story is good too. Many board books have so few words that it becomes boring for the reader. Not this one. I bought Duck and Goose as a gift. I believe that Tad Hills board books will be my "go to gift" for babies and toddlers.

Learning to use the httpd error log to debug CGI programs
A typical idiom in Perl might be:
open(FILE, "$filename") || die "Cannot open $filename";
The above line means that $filename should be opened for reading, and that the opened file should be accessed via the descriptor named FILE. If the program cannot open the file for some reason the program should terminate, producing a message. Let's look at how that works within a CGI program:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -w use strict; # Check our syntax strictly use diagnostics; # Tell us how to fix mistakes use CGI; # Import the CGI module # Create an instance of CGI my $query = new CGI; # Set this to a file my $filename = "/foo/bar/blah.txt"; # Send the MIME header print $query->header("text/html"); # Begin the HTML print $query->start_html(-title => "Hello, world!"); # Print the contents of $filename open (FILE, "$filename") || die "Cannot open $filename "; print while (<FILE>); close (FILE); # End the HTML print $query->end_html();Looks good, right? Well, the above will indeed work just fine, assuming that $filename exists. But if and when it doesn't, or if the program doesn't have permission to read the file, the second half of the statement is executed—and the program terminates, producing an error message.
If $filename doesn't exist, and you run the program from the command line, you get the following output:
Content-type: text/html <TITLE>Hello, world!</TITLE> Uncaught exception from user code: Cannot open /tmp/blah.txt at ./test-8.pl line 20.
But if you run it from your web browser, you get nothing at all—no error message, and no response, because the error message "Cannot open /tmp/blah.txt" was sent to stderr, rather than stdout. The error log, however, contains the following:
Uncaught exception from user code: Cannot open /tmp/blah.txt at /home/reuven/Text/Websmith/test-8.pl line 20.Note that the error message is inserted into the log without date or time information, since the text was sent directly by the Perl program (or by the Perl binary), rather than the web server. The web server automatically stamps its own error messages with the current time and date, but your programs don't enjoy that feature—unless, of course, you include the Carp library included with CGI.pm, which redefines the die routine, as well as several others, such that error messages are preceded by the relevant time and date. Thus, if you include the line:
use CGI::Carp;at the top of the above program, the program still fails as expected, but your error log now contains the following entry:
[Tue Dec 3 11:55:14 1996] test-8.pl: Cannot open /tmp/blah.txt at /home/reuven/Text/Websmith/test-8.pl line 21.Now we know not only what went wrong, but also when it happened. The Carp library can be very useful when debugging CGI programs, especially if you find yourself running the same program repeatedly. This way, there isn't any question whether the error occurred the first or fifth time that you ran the program, since the time at which the program ran is written right next to the error message.
Once you have installed Carp, you can use it for recording non-fatal errors, as well. For example, if you are trying to keep track of the value of a particular variable, you can include the line:
carp 'variablename = "'. $variablename . '"';
Because it includes the time and date information, this is better than:
print STDERR 'variablename = "', $variablename, '"';Although using Perl's built-in syntax checkers and warnings (with the -w flag and the strict and diagnostics modules) is a great idea, realize that loading the CGI::Carp module will set off warning bells because it redefines several subroutines. You can ignore these warnings, but don't be surprised when they appear.
All this time, we have ignored our users, who are really supposed to be the focus of our efforts. It's all well and good that we are improving error messages for the purpose of debugging programs, but none of the ideas that we have looked at until now have done much for what the user sees.
The problem is that if you use die to output a message to the error log, the program dies off before it has a chance to produce any sort of "whoops" message for the user. If you're building an interactive web site, the last thing you want to do is present a user with a blank results page; at the very least, you should tell him that something has gone wrong, and that you are trying to fix the problem.
One easy way to do this is to replace the line:
open (FILE, "$filename") || die "Cannot open $filename ";
with the following:
open (FILE, "$filename") || &log_and_die ("Cannot open $filename ");This new version opens the file as necessary, but invokes a subroutine named log_and_die, if the file cannot be opened. You can then define the subroutine as follows:
sub log_and_die { # Get arguments my $string = shift; # Begin the HTML print $query->start_html(-title => "Error"); # Give a message print "
Sorry, but this program "; print "has encountered an error. The system "; print "administrator has been "; print "informed.
\n"; print "
Would you like to return to the; print "home page?\n"; # End the HTML print $query->end_html(); # Now die with the error message die $string; }The above routine is obviously a bit Spartan for most tastes, but the point is obvious: By wrapping errors into a separate routine, you can have our cake and eat it, too. The user gets an error message directing him or her to another site, and apologizing profusely for the program's errors. And the system administrator or web master gets a note in the error log describing exactly what went wrong, making it possible to fix the program more easily.
You could obviously add to this routine. For starters, a good idea might be to e-mail the system administrator or programmer to let him or her know that an error had occurred. If the program were part of a critical system, then perhaps it would even be a good idea to send e-mail to a system tied into an alphanumeric paging system.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

We paid $62 a night for 5 nights. We wished we would have spent 3 or 4. That would have been plenty of time there for experiencing funerals and taking hikes (our interests)
What we liked about the hotel?
Modern, clean, good AC, little balcony, lovely grounds, nice pool, overlooking river(but full of trash, not the hotel's fault),
What we didn't like?
Low water pressure, very little english spoken(difficult to communicate), restaurant was mediocre.
It was quite a trek getting there, bus during the daytime both ways about 9 hours. Bintang Prima was good, but it looks like there were many other newer buses.
