Posted May 20 2011 8:18AM
CHICAGO -- Long story short? There is no such thing.
The strange saga of Enes Kanter is a long, complicated story with a long, disappointing wait, stretching from Kentucky to Turkey in a tangled tale of personal frustration and maybe professional setback.
Until Thursday.
It was then, in a private gym just west of downtown, Kanter resumed his NBA dream in earnest by participating in a group workout on the first day of basketball activity at the pre-Draft combine. He was easy to spot on the courts crowded with hopefuls. He was the guy who pretty much needed the jaws of life to get his smile through the door.
"Today was, like, so great," Kanter said later, surrounded by a couple dozen media members in a hotel ballroom. "I just tried to do my best. I just ran hard and I just tried to play hard. I hope I showed people something."
So great, and so unusual. For one thing, top prospects don't play basketball at this event when they're trying to convince front-office personnel to draft them as high as possible into a career of playing basketball. Agents prefer to wrap their clients in cellophane and protect a lottery standing by having the college star deign to join in only the mandatory physical. Kanter seemed to excitedly take part in the drills.
For another thing, he played at all. Kanter practiced last season with his sort-of teammates at Kentucky and more recently had been in workouts as draft prep. But there had been no organized games with people watching and, more than just watching, with something on the line. What took place Thursday and continues today is nothing close to a game.
But for the first time since the 2010 Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore., when he had 34 points and 13 rebounds for the international squad facing an all-star team of college-bound U.S. players, his performance mattered.
There was no way to know at the time, after he finished the season at a prep school near Los Angeles and before he began the freshman year at Kentucky, that it would be the final Kanter appearance until Thursday. He expected to have a prominent role on the Wildcats -- who will also send Brandon Knight into the 2011 lottery as a one-and-done -- only to have Kanter ruled ineligible by the NCAA for receiving $33,000 in excessive benefits while playing for a Turkish club.
The final appeal was lost in January. He was done as a Wildcat without ever really getting started, the only consolation being that he remained on scholarship, continued to attend classes, and became a student assistant coach in a successful finesse of the rules that at least allowed him to practice with Kentucky.
"It was really hard because when I watched a game, I was crying because I can not help my team," Kanter said. "I couldn't help my team. I couldn't help coach Cal (John Calipari) or Kentucky. It was really hard for me."
He said he considers himself the great unknown of the Draft -- "Because no one has seen me play yet" -- but that's not really true. All the teams saw him play overseas and noted his combination of strength and skills at the Hoop Summit that this was clearly a potential star in the making. There is no mystery. There is just the uncertainty of how much rust settled in the missed season, and those concerns are easily dismissed with a series of quality workouts leading up to the June 23 selection.
NBA teams are unfazed by the excessive benefits. If anything, they are impressed he decided to stay in school rather than leaving immediately for Europe and playing there as a pro.
Kanter remains the same kind of prospect he was before being ruled ineligible: a 6-foot-11, 260-pound physical, talented center/power forward who continues to track to the top of the Lottery. He could go as high as No. 3 to Utah, with the Jazz needing to line up an eventual replacement for Mehmet Okur and general manager Kevin O'Connor a firm believer in the belief of never having too many big men. Kanter with Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors and Okur (heading into a contract year) is not a great stretch, just as Kanter with any of the next several teams in line is possible.
So, yes, he hoped he shows people something the two days here before beginning the North American tour of visiting several teams for individual workouts.
But, no, he didn't need to convince anyone.
Teams know him well enough that only a serious setback in conditioning or performance the next month will cost Kanter more than five or seven slots.
That was special to get on the court Thursday, though. It was so great.

I saw Pat a few months ago on one of her many visits to Hebrew Rehabilitation Center. It was a beautiful spring day and she was visiting her mother so they could take in the sunshine together. I sought her out because I wanted to ask her to elaborate on feedback she sent in about Nomfundo Woods Mzamo, a certified nursing assistant at HRC, who she nominated for the "Hebrew SeniorLife ROCKS*" award.

The Fourth of July holiday heralds the height of summer — the time to hit the beach and fire up the grill. But it also provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on what is means to be an American—who we really are. The United States is in large part a country of immigrants and the residents who live at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston reflect the rich diversity of the immigrant experience.

I just finished reading Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande, MD, MPH. In his book, Dr. Gawande, a nationally known surgeon, writer, and public health researcher, discusses end-of-life care, the many issues with traditional nursing home care in this country and the ways in which long-term care should be re-imagined.

Pinoytutorial Techtorial. Posted on 03 December 2009 by author inShare About Six years ago, millions of people were amazed when Google launched its maps.google.com.
From that day forward, it revolutionize the way how a person access street maps and locate geographical boundaries in and out of any country. Many were pleased and like us, we are hoping that someday google maps may still be upgraded too. Let's just say to make it more realistic perhaps? It appears those wishes are now being granted (a little bit) for today Bing.com is unveiling a beta version of Bing Maps. On a presentation made by Microsoft entitled "Fall of Bing" Techcrunch keyed in some important notes and one of them is about Bing Maps.
Their new Bing Maps Beta product is making it very clear where Microsoft is heading: A web powered by Silverlight. Everything we're showing is all Silverlight – not web-based AJAX. Here's the demo-video of BING MAPS What's different with BING MAPS? First is the speed and the loading time for each maps to finish. NationalGeographic Launches iPhone Atlas Using Bing Maps. Photosynth: Your photos, automatically in 3D. Around the UK's economy. Integrating OSM/Bing1 Maps (Part 1) WorldWide Telescope. NASA and Microsoft Let You Explore Mars Like Never Before. Microsoft Research and NASA have teamed up once again and brought the "most complete, highest-resolution coverage of Mars available" to WorldWide Telescope.
Microsoft's app lets you explore space either through a zoom-and-pan interface or guided tours. This imagery is the handiwork of a group informally called the Mapmakers, led by NASA's Michael Broxton. Their job is to take satellite images from Mars and elsewhere in our solar system, and turn them into maps. Yes, it sounds like every geek's dream job, and having a name that sounds like something from a William Gibson novel doesn't hurt, either.
Director of Microsoft Research's Earth Dan Fay has worked with Broxton to turn these images and maps into an immersive new experience for the Worldwide Telescope. "NASA had the images and they were open to new ways to share them.

Street Slide: Browsing Street Level Imagery. Abstract Systems such as Google Street View and Bing Maps Streetside enable users to virtually visit cities by navigating between immersive 360° panoramas, or bubbles. The discrete moves from bubble to bubble enabled in these systems do not provide a good visual sense of a larger aggregate such as a whole city block. Multi-perspective "strip" panoramas can provide a visual summary of a city street but lack the full realism of immersive panoramas.
We present Street Slide, which combines the best aspects of the immersive nature of bubbles with the overview provided by multiperspective strip panoramas.

A transmission-mode measurement for CW THz imaging of polyethylene cylinder and cross-seciton of tooth is conducted using BWO. The beam profile of THz beam generated by a BWO was measured at the focal plane of a CW imaging system and the effect of electrically-large polyethylene cylinder on the beam profile examined. It was found that the focused beam becomes astigmatic and has more of an elliptical beam profile. THz transmission-mode CW imaging of a cross-section of premolar tooth sample with dentine and enamel was conducted at 840 GHz.

Fantastic film but the zither music really threw me off...am I the only one?
Oh no way, the zither soundtrack rules!
I just got that on Netflicks a few weeks ago. Great movie for sure, but I still prefer Chinatown
Personally, I think Chinatown is overrated, mostly due to the location of the film (Cali near LA), and that The Third Man is far superior.
Not to be missed.
I liked the zithers.
Saw it last night, it was gorgeous and thrilling and upsetting. Orson Welles' speech in the ferris wheel was one of the most chilling things I've ever seen in a movie, far scarier than any Hannibal Lecter slurping-at-fava-beans bullshit....
I like the zither but I would have preferred a darker tone to the soundtrack.
eh...a good movie but kinda...overrated....in my opinion...
and the zithers WERE annoying...

Let the Senior Games Begin
WebMD Feature
May 29, 2000 -- One sign of the growing presence of vigorous older people is the National Senior Games Association, a not-for-profit entity that promotes health and fitness and coordinates state Senior Games and Senior Olympics organizations.
The Senior Games movement itself is just barely a teenager -- 13 years old -- but it has grown steadily from 2,500 participants in the 1987 national games to 12,000 participants in 1999. When you include the state and local competitions, each year about a quarter million athletes age 50 and over are involved, and the Baby Boom generation is expected to swell the ranks in coming years.
Senior athletes cite the camaraderie and friendship as draws, says Cynthia Vaughan, Games Coordinator for the California State Senior Games Championships. "This becomes sort of their family," she says. "These are vibrant people."
One participant, Shirley Sluiter, has played tennis since she was 14 or 15. Although she confesses that she can't cover the court quite as easily as she once did, she still plays singles. Before getting out of bed each morning, she does exercises for her arms and legs, and she walks at least 15 minutes a day. In tennis, she placed fourth in the 75 to 79 age group at the 1999 National Senior Games in Tucson, Ariz.

Obama Gets Slightly Tougher on Iran
Satisfied, McCain?
For Republican critics who seemingly won't be satisfied until President Obama personally goes to Iran and punches Ayatollah Khamenei in the face, today was at least a step in the right direction. At his roseless press conference this afternoon, Obama offered his harshest condemnation of the Iranian government's crackdown so far. "The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, beatings, and imprisonments of the last few days," he said. He also expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of the landslide victory of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "It's not an isolated incident, a little grumbling here or there. There is significant questioning about the outcome of the election." [Politico]

Mac Mini Late 2012 Teardown Released October 23, 2012. Available with Core i5 or Core i7 and Apple Fusion Drive. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/fNQJ5JPQNvlkBQfj Andrew Optimus Goldberg No estimate Moderate Mac Mini Late 2012
Apple is shrinking! No, not in the AAPL stock way (that's high as ever), but in the 'Let's name everything Mini' way. Along with the announcement of the iPad Mini on October 23rd (teardown coming soon; we promise) came the new and improved Mac Mini, the 2012 iteration of the optical-drive-less Mini from last year. With the current trend, we look forward to maybe one day tearing down a smaller version of the Mac Mini: the Mac Mini Mini. But until then, we content ourselves with tearing into the Mac Mini Late 2012.

 2015-05-08T07:46:50-07:00 Good things come in mini packages. This Mini is packing: 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 or 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 500 GB hard drive or 1 TB hard drive configurable to a 1 TB Fusion Drive or 256 GB solid-state drive—upgradable with an extra hard drive or SSD using our dual hard drive kit 4 GB, 8 GB, or 16 GB of DDR3 SDRAM Intel HD Graphics 4000 Thunderbolt and HDMI ports SDXC card slot This Mini lacks an optical drive, just like its predecessor. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mS2vqAZjHpwUvYoY It's beginning to feel like Groundhog Day. The same model number (A1347) has graced the 2011 and 2010 Minis. The port layout is consistent with last year's model: 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet FireWire 800 HDMI (HDMI to DVI adapter included) Thunderbolt (supports high-speed I/O and Mini DisplayPort) Four USB 3.0 ports (an upgrade from last year's 2.0) SDXC card reader https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/5DLQLQMwSpVLrBgp https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/LoM11DmVZA5H2ImL Twist and shout! A simple twist of the bottom cover and we're in. That is plus one for repairability. Upgradeable RAM!! Oh, how we've missed you! The 2012 iteration of the Mac Mini is equipped with PC3-12800 DDR3 RAM. It's refreshing to see an Apple product with user replaceable/upgradeable RAM. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/2CDWvxbGJ3albUcZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/jmrJhFyI5F6YFGMB https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/o3CJdBYHZUyOaTZQ We're fans of easily removable fans.

We are really starting to suspect that Dr. Emmett Brown had something to do with this Mini as the antenna board and grille look identical to the last two renditions. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cCgRE4RoA5O5VVBO https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BrXsxmwTP5HRVq2m Here we find the legendary Mac Mini logic board removal tool in its natural habitat. Note the ease of use as the tool swoops in to release the logic board of the Mini. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/N4uoSAAsthmsBYRy https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/QKS2JvuIHHcCZFeX The first component off the logic board assembly is the speaker assembly. The speaker cable was arranged in a twisted pair, probably to reduce EMI that could distort the sweet, iconic tones of the Apple startup sound. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/EZJbHvlpBAQYMR6j https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ne4x5ToRgUKJP1mu https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZqZnaeYbxD1tRgMp The Wi-Fi board, labeled BCM94331PCIEBT3B, stands no chance against our spudger as we make it truly wireless. Removing the EMI shields allows us to peek at the ICs on the communications board: Broadcom BCM4331 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi chip Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 transmitter SiGe 5503A 2304A Dual Band 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Front End SiGe 2598L P2303A TUB2P 7871 1228 C6050 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TKenUQmomiPuJt2e https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/hstYSnNkuXWpf3Kf https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Zby3EHhU3pKnJmZD The heat sink is next to go. Apple has really keyed in on their boomerang-style heat sink abilities—and for that, we applaud them. We know boomerangs can be tough to master. Similar, again! We have not tried installing old 2011 Mini parts in the 2012 Mini, but we are certainly not ruling out the possibility! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/63K5OtKJ2rQ2OIHR https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZOL4J3WSQxqISjP6 A series of screws and tightly wrapped antenna cables secure the rear I/O panel shield to the logic board. A few twists of our precision aluminum driver with a T6 Torx bit and some cable de-routing is all it takes to remove the shield. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/3f3DbqDXETA5Qays https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/uf3UNsDtOCEsiGXR https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/26e4XApB6gf2YXkX Some mini players on the top of the not-so-mini logic board: Cirrus Logic 4206B Audio Controller SMSC USB2512B USB Hub Controller Broadcom BCM57765 gigabit ethernet and memory card controller Intel L232TB45 Thunderbolt Port Controller LSI L-FW643E-2 DELTA 8904C-F Filter https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qxqU141Sf5iEKPaB The rear side of the logic board: Intel HM77 (SLJ8C) platform controller hub Intel V227C254 2.5 GHz dual-core i5 SMSC 1428-7 system management bus temperature sensor Parade PS8401A HDMI/DVI level shifter DELTA 8904C-F Filter LM4FS1AH https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mKPaVoiUMSEhAFgR Tucked away neatly near the rear of the Mini is the hard drive. Our model came with a 500 GB Hitachi hard drive. The Mini is one of the Macs launched with the Fusion Drive. Apple's Fusion Drive is not to be confused with the Impulse Fusion Drive of Star Trek. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/pPGPV6Zi6PpbXlaS https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/iDJYlvBDiBjjfm3C Next up, we displace the power of the Mini. It is beginning to feel repetitive to say how repetitive Apple is in the design of the Mini; nonetheless, the power supply appears identical to last year's model. In this case, we have to say that repetition is a good thing, as the Mini continues to be one of the most repairable devices that Apple produces. Just like last year, the power supply provides 85 watts to the Mac Mini—that's the same kind of electric juice as the AC adapter for a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GxhOu2jaO1rrTlSC https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GDHcnEiKtSf4nGhX https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NjMqajMXKJlxlAsU We were especially curious to see if this new Mac Mini is still compatible with our dual hard drive upgrade kit, so we got to testing it! Following along with our own guide for the 2011 model was a snap, and everything fit perfectly. After a quick reassembly, we booted this guy up for the first time—with 50% extra storage. Success! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/YOgDQaZYJiSuUmSx https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/M1QFxrLjPpcCQCIN https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Ln6nIBkv6UiwYFAR Mac Mini Mid 2012 Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair). No proprietary screws are found within the device. You can easily upgrade your RAM and hard drive, as well as add a secondary drive. There's no glue anywhere inside that needs to be removed while disassembling the Mini. The CPU is soldered to the logic board and not user-upgradeable. While not difficult to do, you still have to remove almost all the internals in order to replace the power supply. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/1r1InSPMu6H3XAbR https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/2SwNytSv3ASDGgR6 2012-10-25T10:56:45-07:00

I am married to a wonderful lady, Katherine. We were blessed with 3 children after my cancer was discovered. I have 18-year-old twins (a boy and girl) and another 14-year-old son. I also have a grown daughter and two grand kids.
I am President of the Metrolina Laryngectomee Support Club. I do pre-op and post-op visits with new laryngectomees and their families and I have volunteered with American Cancer Society for "Relay for Life" for years. I travel throughout the state of NC to inform kids and adults about the dangers of tobacco, as a member of SAVE (Survivor and Victims of Tobacco Empowerment). I served as the president of NC GASP (North Carolina Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution) from 2002 to 2005. I have tried to bring truth, encouragement and myself as an example of life as a laryngectomee. I also enjoy playing golf, hunting and travel.
I have served on the IAL board as director, vice president and interim treasurer. It has been an enriching experience to serve the member clubs and the IAL. Many changes and renewed stability have marked the years of my service.
I was born in Chicago, IL in 1942 and graduated from Loyola University, Chicago, in1964 with a Bachelors of Business Administration and a major in accounting. I then workedfor a big eight CPA firm after graduating, moved to Southern California in 1966, and have been here since.
I spent 12 years as an Accounting Supervisor in a multi-national conglomerate incharge of monthly and annual preparation of financial statements as well as annualreports and other SEC financial reporting.
I then became self-employed as a tax preparer 1977. Started my own small practice in 1983 and have been at it since. I am an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the U.S. Treasury Dept. and prepare tax returns, as wellas represent clients before the IRS in audit, collection and appeal matters.
I'm a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute and also a member of the California and National Association of Enrolled Agents.I became a laryngectomee in 1995 and have been active in the Orange County Lost
Chord Club since then. I have been the Treasurer of this club for many years and have spoken to thousands of grammar and high school students over the course regarding the hazards and risks of smoking.
Hobbies include as much travel as time allows. Crossword puzzles and Sudoku aremy addictions these days, and I love to read as well. I also spend summers in my gardengrowing some of the best tomatoes in Orange County.
Barbara served as the first secretary after the IAL split from the American Cancer Society. During the years that followed she developed the protocol for the office of secretary that is used today.
During her years of service on the Board she was appointed to the Executive, Public Affairs, Bylaws, Speech Standards and Annual Meeting committees. In the past she has also served as the President of the Illinois Association of Laryngectomees and as president and secretary of her local club.
She has served as the Public Member of the Speech/Audiology Board of the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation, and on the Rehabilitation Board of the American Cancer Society. She has spoken to nurses, nurse trainees, doctors, Speech/Language Pathologists, Speech/Language Pathology students and high school groups; and continues to visit hospital patients,
Barb became a laryngectomee in 1974 at the age of 27. She attended her first IAL Annual Meeting in 1976 in Chicago and has only missed one since then. Until 2009 she used esophageal speech as her primary method of communication. In 2009, after throat dilation, her esophagus was perforated. After many months her esophagus was rebuilt. As a result she now uses an electrolarynx to speak.
Barb has been retired for 13 years after teaching second grade for 34 years. She then subbed as a Special Ed teacher for two years. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northern Illinois University in 1968, and completed her Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 1995. She and her husband Bob are busy traveling and enjoying retirement. Barb also spends her time riding and caring for her buckskin mare Amber. She also volunteers two days a week as a groom and horse leader for Mainstay, a therapeutic riding center.
I am pleased to be serving again as Secretary for the IAL. As a result of my surgery I feel I have been given a purpose and a responsibility - to provide inspiration and hope to those facing the same adventure. My life has been truly blessed by the wonderful friends I have made. I was given a challenge, and have been able to meet it and grow from it. My goal is to help others as a result of the work I do as Secretary of the IAL
I was born October 17, 1952 in Mason, MI. I married Valerie in 1980 and have 4 children and 11 grandchildren. We currently reside in Kalamazoo, MI.
I was laryngectomized in April 1995. I am a cancer survivor and a recovering alcoholic. I have been sober since 1981. I talk to schools, colleges, and universities about cancer from tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. I also talk to doctors and medical staff in hospitals, with a focus on the emergency department, about what to look for when a laryngectomy comes in.
I serve, volunteer, and support variouis organizations and groups, including the IAL. I am currently the President of Kalamazoo Speak Easy Club as well as the President of Truth About Tobacco (TAT). I have served on many boards for The American Cancer Society to my local neighborhood and I am still very involved in volunteering with my local ACS. I am a member of ACS Cancer Action Network and have traveled to Washington D.C. twice as an Ambassador. I also serve as Chair of Bronson Patient Family Advisory Council.
I am a Speech Language Pathologist at the Dallas VA Medical Center where I have worked for 20 years. Before that I was a clinical supervisor at the University of Texas at Dallas in the Speech Pathology graduate program for nine years. Early on, I was mentored by Jessie Hart (a long-time IAL BOD member) who facilitated my interest and commitment to the rehabilitation of Laryngectomees. With Jessie and a handful of Texas Lost Chord Club presidents from around Texas, I helped plan the first of 21 Texas Laryngectomee Association Annual meetings based on the Voice Institute and Annual Meeting of the IAL. For three days every year, laryngectomees and their families, Speech Pathologists and SLP graduate students (sometimes as many as 100), meet in rotating cities around Texas and learn how to overcome this catastrophic disability. I am dedicated to the rehabilitation of laryngectomees, proud of Texas and proud of the Texas Laryngectomee Association. I am honored to serve on the IAL Board of Directors.
My name is Rhodney Montague. I was born and raised on a farm in Knightdale, North Carolina. As a teenager, I drove a school bus for Wake County public schools. A year after graduation, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I retired in 1997 after twenty years of service with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. My training and schooling was in Field Artillery and Motor Transport Maintenance. My duties comprised of Gun Chief, Color Guard, Motor Transport Maintenance Chief, Marine Recruiter NCOIC, Motor Transport Officer in Charge, Technical Adviser, Analyzed Maintenance Production, and Quality Control for Motor Transport Maintenance companies. My deployments consist of Germany, France, Cuba, and twice to Japan. My family had the opportunity to join me in Japan for three years and Hawaii for three years.
After retirement I was employed with Thomas Concrete for ten years as a diesel mechanic for heavy equipment. I was employed with Thomas Concrete until I was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2009—due to long time chemical exposure. After thirty-five treatment of radiation and two doses of chemo failed to kill the cancer, I had a total laryngectomy in February 2011. Presently, I do pre-op and post-op visits for new laryngectomee patients and their families.
My wife of thirty years Jacqueline and I live in Raleigh NC. We have three adult married children and three grandchildren with a fourth on the way. I have served on numerous ministries in my church. I was ordained deacon in 2007. My hobbies include fishing, working in my garden, and spending time with my family.
Susan Reeves, ME,CCC-SLP
Susan Reeves was born and raised in West Texas. She graduated from McCamey High School in 1973 and entered Texas Woman's University in the fall of 1973 and later transferred to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. Susan received both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in speech pathology from SWTSU. She worked in Seminole and Midland, TX for one year each before moving to San Angelo and joining the team of professionals at West Texas Rehabilitation Center the summer of 1980. She also married her husband, Ben, that same summer and they have been married for 31 years. They also have raised 3 children together: Jamie, Blake, and Kari. Susan currently is the Owner/Director of Reeves Rehab Speech Therapy Center which opened in February 2012 in San Angelo, Texas. Her staff has a combined experience of over 50 years and they serve San Angelo and the surrounding communities. She previously was the Senior Clinical Director at WTRC for over 30 years. She had worked in all facets of WTRC throughout the years, including but not limited to: Day Camp Director for 17 years, Cleft Palate Clinic Coordinator, Pediatric Director as well as Speech Therapy Director before leaving there in the fall of 2011.
Susan first became acquainted with alaryngeal rehabilitation through the coordination of the Concho Valley Lost Chords Club in 1983. Her first IAL Voice Institute was in Seattle, Washington in 1988. She later would attend the Dallas Voice Institute and be mentored under Zilpha Bosone in 1989 and joined the IAL Voice Institute Staff in Cincinnati, OH in 1990 and lectured as a member of the VI for 8 years. During this same time frame, she was asked to join the IAL Board of Directors and served a two year term. Her mentors while on the Voice Institute were: director Bob Keith, Shirley Salmon, Jim Shanks, Zilpha Bosone, Mary Jane Renner, Lerman, Girlmore, and Staacks.
Susan continued to stay active in the alaryngeal field demonstrated by her development of the Mexico Voice Institute. She, along with Dr. Enrique Hulsz and speech pathologist Erika Carreno-Gomez, mirrored meetings seen through the IAL and assisted residents and club members in Mexico City establish a Voice Institute, which still continues on today. Susan served on this team for the first 6 years and then later for an additional 2 years. Susan and 4 other independent speech pathologists were asked to assist the International Rehabilitation of Laryngectomees team (IRL) for Cologne, Germany for week long training and sharing session so the two different groups could share ideas, differences and commonalities in the hopes of advancing ideas in alaryngeal treatment from the hospital to home.
Susan has been a key member of the Texas Laryngectomee Association and has served as a member of the planning committee since its development. She has been a member of the lecture and planning staff and still holds that post today. She has helped countless laryngectomees, students, and professionals in her career through the TLA and the IAL. Mrs. Reeves has authored two separate chapters in the alaryngeal field in her career, both for peers whom she had the privilege to work beside through the IAL Voice Institute. The first chapter can be found in For Clinicians by Clinicians, editors Salmon and Mount. The second can be found in the Head and Neck Cancer: Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Outcomes, editors Ward and Van As-Brooks. Mrs. Reeves is a member of the Texas Speech and Hearing Association and has lectured through this association on numerous occasions. She is and has been an active member of the American Speech and Hearing Association since 1978. She joined the IAL as the Executive Director in September 2008. In 2011, the board voted to change that position title to Administrative Manager, and Susan remains active in that role to this date.
John Ulrich
I was born in Panama City, FL in 1943. My father was in the Air Force and retired after 24 years. Having been an Air Force "brat" I joined the Navy in 1961 when I graduated from high school in San Antonio, TX.

I then went to work as a field service representative in San Angelo, TX with Datagraphix, Inc., a subsidiary of General Dynamics. I was promoted to Area Service Manager. When the company went out of business in 1993 I went to work at the West Texas Rehabilitation Center as the Computer System Administrator and working with laryngectomies in the Speech Department with Susan Reeves. I retired from WTRC in 2003.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Pam, for over 52 years, have two children and five grandchildren.

The Devil We Know – Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower. Robert Baer. Crown Publishers (Random House), New York, 2008.
Iran is obviously a key player in the Middle East. The many references within other texts dealing with other aspects of the Middle East and the several texts dealing specifically with Iran highlight its significance. Part of that significance is that Iran - whether discussing the topics of nuclear weapons, terrorism, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Hamas, empire, or the now broadening 'AfPak' war – is a rational player, flexible, able and willing to negotiate.
This viewpoint is strongly reinforced by Robert Baer's work The Devil We Know, an ironic title in that one of his central themes is that we – the United States – do not know them at all correctly but as caricatures of evil reinforced by our – the United States – ignorance of their long history and characteristics of pragmatism and flexibility. When compared to the failures of all the other governments in the region which are "bound to collapse," Baer's conclusion reads, "Iran is the only stable, enduring state in the Gulf." One of his summative paragraphs deserves full reiteration:
If we ignore their words and focus on their actions, Iran and its proxy Hezbollah are rational actors. They're willing to talk to the West. They're willing to set bounds. They have fixed reasonable demands.
That could be compared to U.S. words and actions, also often in conflict with each other, but going the other way – fine words, colonialist mentality actions – in which "there's a persistent, mistaken belief that the Iranians are irrational and dogmatic."
War and Nuclear Weapons
The relationship between Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and Israel runs through the writing. For all the hot air rhetoric that continues to rise from the Obama administration and from the Israeli right wing about nuclear weapons, Baer recognizes that "Iran definitely knows that a nuclear confrontation with Israel isn't winnable. The Iranians know that Israel would massively retaliate…and everything Iran has worked so hard to win would be lost." Later he adds, "Iran's real leaders [not Ahmadinejad] know that a nuclear bomb is very much a secondary interest."
Conversely, the U.S. perspective is described as focussing "obsessively on whether Iran is developing nuclear weapons….blinded by worst-case scenarios, which happens not to be Tehran's preferred scenario." Baer indicates that the U.S. is "miscalculating the nature of the Iranian threat," but the reader needs to consider the U.S. tried and true use and abuse of the fear factor to promote its often illogical intentions. Another aspect touched upon is the U.S. attachment to Israel that "possesses no oil" and "is demographically insignificant." A former Khomeini aide, Amin, is cited as saying, "Israel's greatest conquest wasn't the West Bank and Gaza…It was the American imagination."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
From yet another angle Baer shows that any form of limited warfare or even an all out conventional war would have serious global consequences. This obviously would contain nothing good for Iran but would also contain the very strong prospect of global repercussions for oil distribution, for the expansion of the war, and its increase in intensity throughout the Middle East, all of which would rapidly drain the U.S. of resources, human and otherwise.
The problem of Israel/Palestine is not fully central to Baer's presentation, but it does play a significant role. Baer reinforces other writer's determinations that Iran is
not about to go to war with Israel over the Palestinians, especially at the risk of a nuclear confrontation….they're not particularly concerned about the fate of the Palestinians or the existence of Israel. Iran will accept whatever settlement the Palestinians accept.
Lebanon's Hezbollah told me that Hezbollah would be "no more Palestinian than the Palestinians." In other words, if the Palestinians agreed to settle with Israel, so would Hezbollah.
Part of the significance of Iran's inroads into Palestine centre on the split between Sunni and Shia. The theme centres on the differences in viewpoint between Sunni takfirs and Shia ijtihad that affect future actions: the Sunnis end up acting with a random unfocussed violence, whereas the Shia violence, its terrorism, its suicide bombers, its wars, are generally all constrained and targeted towards targets of military importance. The importance of Hezbollah and the targeted suicide attacks based on Shia/Hamas militancy are defined as having their own military value apart from the more random violence of civilian bombings undertaken by the Sunni militants.
This – and other arguments – leads to Baer promoting a Palestinian settlement based on UN Resolution 242 (rather vague but referring to a military withdrawal of occupying forces to the 1967 boundaries). This covers two directions: first that "a Palestinian settlement based on international law will stand a lot better chance of succeeding with the Palestinians. At the same time, this would convince Iran that the international system was impartial." Part of this is to separate Iran from the festering confrontation that continues to poison all negotiations and perspectives in the Middle East.
Different perspective
The Devil We Know is not an academic read with lots of references and archived quotes. It comes from an experiential viewpoint and is strong on anecdotal descriptions and interviews with many actors throughout the Middle East. Any anecdotal work could pose some questions on authenticity and value as it is easy to choose anecdotes and tales, however much they may be true, to satisfy one's point of view. Baer's writing, however, comes across as solidly centred, and the few 'Americanisms' that do creep in can be ignored in favour of the general flavour of the work, with one of his first solutions, an unnumbered one, being that "We [the U.S.] just have to overcome our prejudices rooted in the past."
For the United States "It's time not to surrender, but rather to deal. America can accommodate many parts of Iran's quest for empire without ceding any of its core vital national interests." Previously stated in the text and implicit throughout is that the U.S. must deal if it is to avoid consequences that can only be negative into a long drawn out unprosperous future. Its vital interests are oil and containment of Russia and China as re-emerging powers, competitors within the global rush for resources and markets of all kinds.
Future unknown
Iran, it appears, has become the 'spoiler', a rising power, controlling much of Iraq and Damascus by proxy, supporting yet recognizing the independent power of Hezbollah, bargaining and trading with Russia and China for many items from natural resources through nuclear facilities on into modern sophisticated armaments that it has learned to use asymmetrically against the dominance of absolute western military power. It is also a player on the eastern boundary, with its own serious concerns about what occurs in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The U.S. must learn to deal with them in serious negotiations rather than through the futile and costly on going threat of war. The Obama administration has the mandate and the rhetoric to start the process of working with Iran for its own good, rather than continuing to bluster and push and eventually stumble into a broader more vicious war with even larger negative consequences on the world and the United States itself.
Iran is ready to negotiate, and is in a position of regional strength. As per Baer, the United States needs to realize this or face a very uncertain future at home and abroad. The Devil We Know is an interesting read, accessible to most readers, non-academic and rationally written, a good place to start with a new understanding of what makes Iran work.

Eden Court was originally opened in April 1976. At the time, the design was strikingly modern. As the only large scale performance venue in the region, the building was designed by architects Law & Dunbar-Nasmith to house all types of performing arts from opera to popular music, concerts, ballet, modern dance, drama and films.
Following a major appeal and two years of closure, Eden Court reopened in November 2007 as the one of the best equipped arts centres in the country. The Victorian Bishop's Palace and 1976 theatre, both Grade A Listed, were retained and two new extensions added providing a second theatre, two new cinemas, two dance and drama studios and three floors of purpose built dressing rooms. The architects Page/ Park have successfully brought together buildings from thee different centuries to create the biggest arts centre in Scotland.
Thorough restoration of the Bishop's Palace has brought back some of its former Victorian glory and outside, a new entrance and landscaped grounds means Eden Court 'faces' the city centre allowing visitors to finally enjoy the riverside setting.
Capacity: 840.

Does spanking your child really help? Is it an effective form of discipline? Do we as parents sometimes have guilt associated with spanking our children? I know my parents and many others like them believed in the old saying, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." One thing for sure spanking does interrupt misbehavior. To many parents spanking is considered acceptable as long as the parent or guardian…

US jobless claims come down
Washington: The number of US people initially applying for unemployment aid last week reversed the previous week's rise, authorities said.
The advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims for jobless benefits was 350,000 in the week ending Dec 22, down 12,000 from the previous week's revised figure, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
Meanwhile, the four-week moving average, which helps smooth out week-to-week volatility, also declined dramatically to 356,750, the lowest level since March 2008, reported Xinhua.
Claims below 375,000 generally indicates a sustained drop in the unemployment rate.
Applications have mostly stayed near that level from the spring to October, except for a surge in November sparked by the effects of superstorm Sandy on the north east coast.
However, the Christmas holiday may have distorted the figures as many state unemployment offices were closed Monday and Tuesday and another week will be needed to build a more accurate picture.

Posted by a Criminal Defense client
In early 2008 I sought to have an old criminal conviction vacated, and the court record sealed. I found a Seattle firm which claimed to specialize in this action, headed by a male attorney with what looked like excellent credentials. Contacting them by phone, I was greeted by a young female who identified herself as Kristy Stell. I gave her some information about my case, and she said she would do some preliminary research and let me know what could be done. She also told me that she was a paralegal who worked only part time for this firm, and did not indicate then that she would be working full time on my case. Because the crime I had committed was against a woman, I did not intend to have a woman working on the case because of possible negative bias against me. However, because I assumed the male attorney would be doing most of the work and would represent me in court, I accepted the arrangement and went ahead with this firm. After several conversations with Ms. Stell I decided I was not totally satisfied with her answers to my questions and I asked if I could meet, or at least speak with, the male attorney, but she was not agreeable to this request. After insisting I speak with the male attorney, she then told me she was an attorney and could answer any questions that he could. I was surprised, to say the least. I later did some research and found that she was at the time in fact a licensed attorney, and not a paralegal. She did not explain why she had told me this, and I did not ask her, not wanting, at that time, to appear argumentative. But I was puzzled, and began to suspect her motives for wanting to work on my case. I had paid fifty percent of the required fee up front, and paid the remainder several months later. She had not indicated that there was anything else I needed to do after the amount was paid in full. However, after I paid the balance, she then informed me that I would need to write a letter to the judge, justifying why I needed to have my court record sealed. This puzzled me, not that I was averse to writing such a letter, but because she had waited until I had paid the full amount before informing me of this. If she had informed me earlier I could have at least done some preparatory work on the project, which could have saved several weeks of time. After the letter was completed she told me that all we needed to do now was to get a court date for the hearing. Some time later I was doing some research on sealing criminal records, and was surprised and alarmed to learn that a new law had been passed which would make it much more difficult to have a record sealed in Washington State. I contacted Ms. Stell and asked her about this, and she replied that she had already told me about this development, which was untrue. Some time after this she contacted me and said that the victim of the crime would need to be notified and given an opportunity to attend the final hearing. She then asked me if I would give her the victim's address, which I considered an insult and an insinuation that perhaps I was thinking of committing more crimes against the victim. I was upset but kept my composure and replied that I did not have that information. She would later ask me the same question, which again made me angry. She had the resources available to find the victim's address, and I saw no legitimate reason to ask me such a question. I could only conclude that she was trying to provoke me into saying something that could justify dropping me as a client, ending my case, while keeping the money I had paid the firm. When my hearing came up I learned to my surprise that Ms. Stell would not be representing me in court, but instead the male attorney I had never met or even allowed to contact, at Ms. Stell's insistence. The conviction was vacated but the judge refused to seal the court record. Although Ms. Stell worked hard on the case, I believe she was biased against me because the victim was a woman.

Kristy did a great job with my case. She was very professional, knowledgeable and kept me informed with everything that was going on. I would highly recommend her.

Kristy Stell had handled two separate traffic violations within the last 3 month on my behalf. She was very professional and thorough with all necessary paperwork and timely with relaying all related information back to me. She was able to get one ticket dismissed and another significantly reduced. I would recommend Kristy Stell to others as an attorney.

Kristy, Took charge, instilled confidence in her client and when it was all said and done, we walked away without having to pay a cent. Kristy was great!

Ms. Stell has continually kept me informed via phone calls or emails. She is a great listener and has always taken my information and processed it accordingly. She's thorough and dedicated to her duties.

Kristy was easy to talk to and kept us informed during our entire process. She helped us to feel comfortable with her knowledge and supported us through a difficult time.

I feel grateful I found someone who not only I listened with all her heart, but was also very gracious about sharing her knowledge in laymans terms and being honest about clarifying my options.

She was very easy to talk to and took the time to explain exactly what was happening. Professional while making me comfortable at the same time. Got me a great deal.

My multi-site installation currently points to domain.com, but I need it to point to http://www.domain.com to use Google PageSpeed service properly. I am sure this is what I need to do. However, while it is trivial to change the siteurl of a single-site wordpress installation, multi-site seems very complicated, and I think that a lot of the ordinary steps given for multi-site installations aren't necessary for me, as I am merely moving it from domain.com to http://www.domain.com.
Does anybody know what I need to do? I am so close to speeding my site up by a factor of 3, but this has given me no end of trouble.
Thank you,

Regata Storica 2016
Sunday 4th September 2015
The Regata Storica is the main event in the annual "Voga alla Veneta" rowing calendar. This unique sport has been practised in the Venetian lagoon for thousands of years and today it is particularly well-known for the spectacular historical water pageant that precedes the race. Scores of typically 16th century-style boats with gondoliers in period costume carry the Doge, the Doge's wife and all the highest ranking Venetian officials up the Grand Canal in a brightly coloured parade. An unforgettable sight and a true reconstruction of the glorious past of one of most the powerful and influential Maritime Republics in the Mediterranean.
Today there are four races divided in terms of age and type of craft. The best known and most exciting of these is the "Campioni su Gondolini" race, where a series of small, sporting gondolas fly down the Grand Canal to the finishing line at the famous "machina", the spectacular floating stage located in front of the Ca' Foscari palace.

Berkeley, CA - Two radical groups have settled their lawsuits over an armed, over-broad police raid after the law enforcement agencies agreed to delete improperly seized computer data and pay $100,000 in damages and attorney's fees. Moreover, the University of California-Berkeley Police Department (UCBPD) acknowledged that at the time of the raid one of the groups qualified for federal protections designed to protect journalists, publishers, and other distributors of information from police searches, despite the police's persistent denial of that status throughout the lawsuit.

Do you depend on the Spirit as you seek to share the Gospel? David and Francis contend that what many Christians need is not reassurance in the midst of failure, but instead to rely fully on God as we seek to boldly encounter a lost world with the gospel.

A very simple salad dish that was just yummy! Instead of grape tomatoes, I used a larger tomato cut into quarters. I tossed in a wooden salad bowl, added the cheese, basil (used 2 larger basil leaves) and added oil and vinegar. I used garlic powder - just a dash. Next time I can see adding some thinly sliced onions. Thanks Lainey! Made for *New Kids on the Block*

Stolen car suspect found in western Pa. jail
Published: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 6:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 6:55 a.m.
WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police say they've found a stolen car suspect in the last place they expected: in a southwestern Pa. jail, using another name.
Canonsburg police tell the Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. (http://bit.ly/NXAB3k ) they found 18-year-old Christopher Thomas on Monday after an anonymous tipster told them he'd already been arrested in a pizza delivery robbery in another town.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Thomas who remained in the Washington County Jail on Tuesday. He's been there since Aug. 15 on charges of robbing the delivery driver in Washington, Pa.
But police in Canonsburg didn't know that because Thomas identified himself as Tayshawn Wilson when he was first arrested.
Canonsburg police have now charged him with driving the stolen car and almost hitting three people with it when police chased him Aug. 11.

Installed WP 3.5 and don't seem to have any problems except for when I install most plugins. Seems like most plugins generate errors of Undefined Variables and/or Index issues.
It's not all plugins, but most. Even ones that are tested to WP 3.5.
I am noticing the problem in WP-ADMIN pages as well as public content pages.
These might be harmless errors that should only be displaying when PHP Debug reporting is turned on. I am on a Windows server but my WP 3.4.2 sites don't have this problem.
I've completely reinstalled WP 3.5. Also performed a fresh install of the theme I use.

Let us help you get the full compensation you deserve. Contact our Syracuse Personal Injury Lawyer team today.
Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a Personal Injury case?
A lot of times it will be clear if you have a valid case, however other times it may not be so. We encourage people to call our office and let us make that determination with you. After all, the initial consultation is free.
How much does a Syracuse Personal Injury Lawyer cost?
No matter the type of case you have our initial consultation is always FREE. During that initial consultation you will be told what our legal fees are UP FRONT. There will be no surprises.
Our legal fees vary depending on the type of case.
Personal Injury Cases
For personal injury cases our legal fees are governed by New York State statute. For most personal injury cases the fee is one-third of your recovery after our expenses are deducted. In the unlikely event there is no recovery, you do not owe us a fee. You will never have to pay out of pocket for our fees. Typically, our fees are very similar to those of our competitors.
Workers Compensation Cases
For workers' compensation cases our fees vary depending on the amount and type of work that is performed on your behalf, and the fees are awarded by a workers' compensation judge at a hearing of your case. Prior to the hearing, you will be told what fee we are requesting. Typically there is a reasonable fee awarded based upon the amount of work done by us on your behalf. If you are not awarded benefits, no fee is due. When we are awarded a fee, it will be deducted from the amount of your award so that you do not need to pay any out of pocket money toward our fee. If and when you settle your workers' compensation claim, our fees vary depending on the amount of work performed to obtain the settlement. Typically our fees in these instances range between 10-15% of the settlement amount.
Social Security Cases
For Social Security disability cases, like personal injury and workers' compensation cases, there is no fee unless we are successful. As governed by federal statute, our fee is equal to 25% of your past due benefits with a cap of $6,000.
General Practice Cases
Our general practice fees typically range from $100-400 per hour depending on the type of case. We often will quote you a flat fee for legal representation regarding real estate closings, wills and criminal cases. The fees will vary depending on the issues involved.
Is it too late to file a lawsuit?
Depending on the type of claim you are making, the time in which you have to file a claim or to commence a lawsuit varies.
For a typical personal injury lawsuit in New York State you have three years from the date of the accident or occurrence in question to file a lawsuit. However, in certain cases such as those for medical malpractice or cases against a municipality, the time frame is significantly less. In other cases, the time limits may be longer. For your protection, we strongly recommend that you do not try to make this determination on your own since the statutes of limitations are complex and often confusing. To make sure that your rights are preserved and protected, we recommend that you call our office as soon as possible following the accident to let us assist you in making that determination.
In workers' compensation cases you have thirty days to provide written notice to your employer of an accidental injury and two years from the date of the accident to file a claim.
A Social Security disability claim must be made within five years from the date you last worked.
How long does it take to receive compensation?
This is a popular question. Unfortunately there is no exact answer. Time frames for payment vary depending on the type of case and the injuries sustained. Every case is unique.
Typically with personal injury cases, we will recommend that you do not settle your case until you are either 100% recovered from your injuries or your medical providers have advised you that you have reached what they believe to be your maximum level of medical improvement. However, the final decision to settle your case or to go to trial will always rest with you.
Payments in connection with workers' compensation cases vary. Payment of your lost wages and medical treatment benefits are due immediately. However, final settlement of your claim for permanent loss of use or permanent disability will usually take much longer.
For Social Security disability cases, an initial determination regarding your claim is usually made in a few months, and if granted, you will receive benefits from the date of your application. However, if you are denied benefits, you must file an appeal and request a hearing within 60 days of the denial. It could take up to 12 months to get a hearing. If your claim is successful you will receive benefits dating back to the date that you can prove you became disabled., less a five month waiting period.
