Washington:The UN Security Council has unanimously passed a US-drafted resolution that imposes strongest sanctions ever on North Korea, with measures targeting its last remaining major exports and reducing about 30 per cent of oil provided to it. It retains language reaffirming support for long-stalled six-party talks with that goal involving North Korea, the U.S., Russia, China, Japan and South Korea.
One Bank of China staff member said, "all bank activities related to North Korea are suspended now because it is a sanctioned country".
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the latest United Nations sanctions on North Korea were only a very small step and nothing compared to what would have to happen to deal with the country's nuclear programme.
A week ago Haley called for the "strongest possible" sanctions, but after several days of negotiations, Washington dropped several measures to win the support of Russian Federation and China, including a bid for an oil embargo and the blacklisting of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the national airline.
The resolution requires the end of all joint ventures with North Korea.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un provides guidance on a nuclear weapons program in this undated photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) in Pyongyang September 3, 2017. Haley has dismissed it as insulting.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the latest United Nations sanctions on North Korea were only a very small step and nothing compared to what would have to happen to deal with the country's nuclear program. "It remains on the table at the Security Council and we will insist on it being considered".
The resolution does add new language urging "further work to reduce tensions so as to advance the prospects for a comprehensive settlement". United Nations members now are barred from importing any textiles from the North. North Korea detonated a device, which it said was a thermonuclear bomb small enough to fit on a long-range ballistic missile.
The Apple Watch could soon detect abnormal heart rhythms
In its keynote address this afternoon, Apple announced the latest edition of its wearable, the Apple Watch Series 3 . Before getting to the new hardware, Williams walked us through some of the exciting new features of watchOS 4 .
Prior to the approval, Trump and the USA treasury secretary threatened to impose unilateral sanctions against any country that trades with North Korea if the Security Council was unable to come to an agreement.
North Korea's Foreign Ministry issued a statement early Monday saying it was watching the United States' moves closely and warned that it was "ready and willing" to respond with measures of its own.
Republican Rep. Ed Royce, the committee chairman, said efforts by the US and its allies to counter the threat from North Korea nuclear and missile programs should be "super-charged".
The measures contained in the resolution are estimated to diminish North Korea's export earnings by as much as United States dollars $1.3 billion.
After Monday's 15-0 vote on the sanctions compromise, Haley called the package "by far the strongest measures ever imposed on North Korea". Almost 80 percent went to China.
The latest resolution caps North Korea's imports of refined and crude oil at 8.5 million barrels a year, which represents a 30 percent cut, according to Nikki Haley, the us ambassador to the United Nations.
"We need to use every ounce of leverage.to put maximum pressure on this rogue regime", he told a hearing on North Korea.

Monday, June 12, 2017
When I first started looking at this week, I thought, "If we can just get through Monday." However, upon further inspection, I've discovered...aaaah, the week is not exactly how it appears to be. This is due Mercury. One word of advice with that...don't forget Mercury is a trickster as well as an informer. We are in the season of Gemini. The last legs, so to speak. Mercury, in his home territory, makes some interesting aspects as the Sun in Gemini waxes toward an opposition with Saturn at the end of the week. Our abilities to reason, communicate, listen and learn are tested most assuredly. If you prefer silence, might I suggest some noise canceling headphones because that kind of thing is going to quite inaccessible through the most of this week. While Mars is in Cancer, our ability to produce answers to the condition of the Moon as do our desires. The suggestion with that is to mix the energy coming from our current Moon effectively with the energies of your own Moon while taking time to also delve into self-care and down time. We do have breaks that allow for such. However, it isn't so much "what to do or how to do it" that is at issue this week even with Mars said to be "ill placed" in Cancer. It's the brain that is mostly at issue.
This morning the Moon remains in Capricorn. Her last major aspect waxes in at 2:46 PM by way of a square to Uranus. This is followed by a sextile to Chiron at 5:12 PM. The square to Uranus can be anxious making or force a change in routine upon us brought forth by the unexpected. That, to me, is rather par for the course for a Monday. For some reason, Monday's always throw a monkey wrench in my well made plans. However, the Moon itself has the energy it needs to deal with Uranus effectively by way of falling under the rule of Saturn. She's able to look at the unexpected shift in the game plan and accommodate that by adopting the plan effectively. The main thing is not to get excited. Instead, deal proactively and effectively with what presents taking time to ground and respond rather than just react.
Reacting could lead to shooting one's self in the foot as indicated by the sextile to Chiron. So, this, we want to avoid. We want to maintain an awareness of our triggers and control over our response to them. Following the sextile with Chiron, the Moon enters Void status until shifting into Aquarius at 7:46 PM. This transition shifts the Mood and also bears some affect upon our motivation as Mars responds to the same. That being said, the sign of Cancer and the sign of Aquarius don't necessarily understand one another easily. Aquarius is cerebral whereas Cancer has a tendency to be more visceral and instinctual. Yet the "drying out" brought forth by the Aquarius Moon who will make windy trines with the Sun and Mercury in Gemini along with Jupiter in Libra, could lighten the work load to a degree thus creating more mental work than physical. And that, my friends, is the general tone of the entire week. Less physical to deal with but much to contemplate within the mental realm. Feel free to invoke Jedi mind control at any time here..
Today, as the Moon shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius, we become less prone to physical production and more concerned with socialization, conversing and activities that don't produce sweat. I don't know if you've noticed, but Aquarius is not a sign that necessarily likes to get sweaty. So, under the Aqua Moon we are the beach children in white linens. More refined than dirty. More hands off than hands on. Today is good for getting off to a gritty start on projects near completion while saving the more dainty finishing touches for the Aquarius or Pisces Moon. However, definitely leave room and energy to effectively deal with the unexpected as, along with Monday,...it is likely to come.
Tuesday, June 13, 2017
This morning the Moon in Aquarius passes by Mars (7:18 AM) by inconjunct then squares off with Venus in Taurus (10:08 AM). So, early in the morning there is a gut-check in regard to motivations. But, later in the morning, there is a square off between want and need between our fixed signs of Taurus and Aquarius. The latter reminds me of a group of workmates or pals who want to go out to lunch together but can't decide where to go...which drives me absolutely nuts, to be honest with you. "Where do you want to go? What do you like?"..."It doesn't matter to me. Wherever you guys want to go for whatever you guys like is fine." Sweet mother of mercy..don't over-complicate it. The goal is food and socialization ffs, don't make it hard. And, that is the typical impasse that Taurus and Aquarius meet with. Aquarius can over-think while Taurus is wonderfully simplistic. When in doubt, go for something you've not tried before and keep it simple. Who knows, you might like the new thing.
The rest of the day falls under this "keep it light, simple and clean" air. Meanwhile, chatter and socialization in general increases as Mercury waxes into trine with Jupiter in Libra. This does not perfect until tomorrow. However, the increase in verbal tempo and the call to air gossip and grievance will surely begin to be noticeable today.
The winds start picking up steam as tongues wag. That's going to be the punctuated feel of our evening and tomorrow. Breezy. Social. Chatty...not that you should necessarily believe everything you hear. Just that there will be plenty to hear. The main thing to remember throughout the course of this uptick in verbal and cerebral energy is to remain observant while noting what you hear and see but not necessarily reacting to it yet. Under this Aquarius Moon, it's a good idea to treat this uptick as a social experiment...watch how folks respond and to what in an effort to get a handle on how this works from a detached perspective. From that pose, you could actually learn a great deal. This is mainly due the fact that some of it will be outright misconstrued and conflated as Jupiter, though now direct, remains inconjunct Neptune. Mercury will leave his trine with Jupiter and move immediately into a square with the Sea God causing the mental/cerebral to fog considerably and packing misunderstandings, lies and miscommunication in with it. Then, following that mess, the Sun opposes Saturn and our ability to discern what is true and solid will be tested. Take nothing at face value and be mindful of what news or gossip you spread. Jupiter will leave his inconjunct with Neptune and move back into square with Pluto from here. So, some information may be spread with subservient intent. Don't fall for it sweet pea. You are smarter than that.
The cerebral tides do shift before the night goes completely out. Mercury meets Neptune by square at 11:30 just barely following the Moon's entrance into this Air trine between Mercury and Jupiter. This could literally translate to stormy weather patterns but certainly works to obscure information, as well. The key in that being the higher expression of our transiting South Node which is a bit of observant detachment and a concern for overall social issue well-being. Then, standing on those talents to reach toward the North Node...how does it (or does it) apply to you? What is your role in this sea of the collective and what kind of personal character are you trying to create? We use the info we gather here toward that end instead of mindlessly following the other lemmings off a cliff or just being reactionary.
Wednesday, June 14, 2017
This morning we wake up to the aftermath of last night's veritable electrical storm and potential information overload. The rest of the day has the Moon waxing into trine with the Sun in Gemini and sextile with Saturn in Sagittarius. This is our chance to talk it out and get the facts straight. To put the truth of what we've learned into proper perspective and employment. It's still rather windy but windy with a point and an agenda. We want to be able to use what we've learned. And, if it is NOT of use to us, it should be disregarded as such.
It's likely that any manipulations of the facts that occurred under Mercury/Neptune begins to come to light. We learn which speakers we can trust and which one's are just out to misconstrue the truth in favor of their own agenda. You are going to want to remember anything you've learned in that regard. If they were lying or misrepresenting themselves under Mercury/Neptune then they will try to use that same type of persuasive and subservient power under Jupiter/Pluto. Note it and expect more of it in the future from that source. Chances are they won't change their stripes and become completely beholden to the truth then either though they will certainly try to keep their grasp on their righteousness at that time. You, however, can become wise to it under this sky.
The Moon remains active through the day until meeting her current ruler, Uranus, by sextile at 1:40 AM. That moment of the Moon dancing in tandem with her traditional (Saturn sextile at 7:49 PM) and modern ruler (Uranus) could very well be where we are logically able to put the pieces of our recent "chatty affair" puzzle together in an exhilarating "AHA!" or "Eureka" break through like moment. Yet, the emotional sphere is due to change again melting the cool detachment of the Aquarius Moon and thrusting us into the watery sphere of a Pisces Moon. The Moon is Void following the sextile with Uranus and remains so until entering Pisces in the morning at 6:18 AM.
Today is good for getting the facts straight and adding subtle enhancements (due what we've learned) to personal plans. It's good for writing work especially in the realm of fiction or for taking in light entertainment venues with trusted friends you can bounce your ideas off of and receive input from. Again, it's not sweaty...but it could very well contain a few left over storms. That being said, there could be a rainbow or two as well.
Thursday, June 15, 2017
Ah, this morning the Moon plunges the ethereal depths of wallowing, remorse and perhaps a hangover. The Moon enters Pisces at 6:18 AM with the Sun meeting an opposition with Saturn just a minute later. So, what is real is really real and we are called to accountability rather quickly.
The Moon, however, plays nice with the remainder of the sky before she moves in to form our Last Quarter on Saturday with Saturn in that mix. Talk about a HUGE call to flush out what has accumulated but is of no applicable use in our future. That's what that last quarter will call for.
In the meantime, at 8:33 PM, the Moon swims with Mars in Cancer by trine. Then, she dips into pleasure by sextile with Venus in Taurus at 1:09 AM. Daytime is marked for being a grown up while the evening is set up for grown up type escapes and pleasures. The Sun in opposition to Saturn is going to help make things a little more stable, believe it or not...though we likely won't enjoy the call to responsibility and accountability. Yet, Saturn is the antidote to too much Neptune..which we certainly have on tap as the gas giant is stationed to turn retrograde at 3:09 AM...just in time for a lunar conjunction which occurs at 9:11 AM tomorrow. Yeah, I know that anchor is heavy. But, you are likely going to want to lash yourself to it as Neptune's energy becomes increasingly punctuated. That anchorage is what is going to help you steer through what we have coming in. Work hard during the meat of the day reserving the night to dip into more personal pleasures.
Friday, June 16, 2017
Thank goodness it's Friday. For those that drill the Monday through Friday 9-5 or worse racket, it's been a long week which at times may have felt like two or more weeks wrapped in one. But, now we are on the last leg of that and just in time as we drag ourselves toward the weekend. And, it does feel a lot like dragging in which some may actually give up ship. The Moon sits on Neptune who just stationed retrograde overnight...meaning...we are tired, emotional and so not in the mood for more people and more talk. Maybe we call in sick. Maybe I wouldn't blame you.
This is so not much of a productive morning for a variety of reasons. However, the Moon does wax toward an astutely grounding sextile with Pluto which perfects juuuust at quitting time (5:21 PM). If we are going to be swimming, we might as well go deep...though I don't necessarily recommend going public. Chances are many have heard their fill of the social airs this week and would prefer a little quiet. Besides, our Pisces Moon squares off with Mercury (8:30 PM) making the incessant chatter that much more grating while many are simply just not in the mood. Not anymore.
Tonight holds potential for greatly restorative alone time or exploration of deeper desires. Less talk. More quiet....when that phone call comes in later tonight...feel free to ignore it. If it's important they will call back when you are more in a mood to talk. Or not. Who cares...what's on Netflix? Are we chilling? Cause, yeah...that sounds good. Shut the door. Turn off the phone. Rest. Recuperate. Ruminate, if you choose. Tomorrow, the Last Quarter perfects and it's time to clean up the bullshit that was dumped in this week...and beyond clearing out space for something new because at this point it all feels rather dusty, old and tired.

The Airport is a Person.
Posted by FinchMktg in Marketing, Social Media on August 3, 2010
I shouldn't have done it, but did.
Kansas City has a very easy to use medium sized Airport that is in the middle of nowhere. Like many, I get to spend lots of quality time at this modern transportation hub. While waiting on a flight to Atlanta for ReTechSouth, The Public Address system was droning on… "Please Report unattended bags". "Amanda Hugandkiss to the White courtesy phone". You know,the normal background noise. But then I was caught off guard. The Flat PA system voice said "Follow KCI on Twitter, @KCIairport and friend us on Facebook".Over the PA system? That bugged me. It seemed very George Orwellian. Big Brother was telling its people where to obtain taxi service and to follow them on Twitter. Every 7 min the message was replayed. Using the The Public Address system to a captive audience to gain followers is a bit over the top.
So that's essentially what I tweeted.
That was a Mistake.
Twitter is a type of PA – My semi rude tweet was blasted out there. Just as the captive audience had been told to follow KCI on Twitter over the PA – in the same way I publicly addressed my dislike for their method. Then it got personal. The airport – it / he/ she / they / @KCIairport started following me. They engaged me. They were nice.
It was an ah-ha moment for me. A Place, is now a person…wow. It may be easy for you to grasp, but that's hard for me to get my head around. Do we have to treat every THING like a PERSON?
Two weeks ago I was with the family and delayed and frustrated while transferring planes in Detroit. The Delta Airlines flight crew was not around. While entertaining my daughter we looked out the airport window at our Delta plane sitting in the sun with no crew. The empty Plane was older, and missing some paint on the nose cone. In fact, it looked the opposite of "Shiny and new". I photographed the plane. The tweet with the photo said: "Dear Delta, Our Plane needs a crew and a paint job." I uploaded the remark and pic to twitter and facebook too.
I shouldn't have.
When on Twitter, should we all talk nice from our work related accounts? Frequently that means puppy dogs and rainbows, not religion or politics. But now it may also mean don't call out corporations or things or places thinking inanimate objects – such as corporations or airports are immune. They are people doing their jobs. My negative opinions are not said and forgotten – they stick around, and reflect back upon me.
On the flip side – if your business is not listening to or participating in social media you are ignoring the conversation. You have decided to turn your back on those customers.
But even as a satisfied customer – not one who complains often and knows better, I was willing to open up with my displeasure on twitter. Your happy clients are providing you valuable live testimonials about your service and products. What could you do with live testimonials? What could you do to help resolve an issue to prevent a boil over?
For the record – Delta sent me an apology letter with free miles. KCI no longer broadcasts "follow KCI on Twitter" via the PA, and I have learned first hand that places and corporations are people.

Social Media Smallvolution with FPO
Posted by FinchMktg in Social Media on June 7, 2010
FloorPlanOnline has a funny and a bit of an odd History Starting with a Vacation in Denmark. Network Solutions recently got wind of the story and interviewed CEO Kris Cone, where they discussed our company's origin and our current Social Media Program.
Ive been fortunate to be in the position to help FloorPlanOnline grow our Social Media presence – and its rewarding to get this organic positive feedback.
One Section of the article is below with the link to the whole story as well.
Here is the link to the story by Steve Fisher.
How have online social media tools like Facebook, Twitter and Blogs helped you market your business?
"Social media has helped with Viral Sharing of property tours and FloorPlanOnline services. Back to the greatest challenge, the more our customers, their sellers or even buyers can share their tours, their experiences and successes about FloorPlanOnline, the more people hear about us, and we let social media do the advertising work for us. A referral is much more valuable than a cold call…and social media is the new form of referral. Our marketing person, Chris Drayer, does a lot of work on the social media sites to get our name and products out to various social media sites – Facebook, Twitter, ActiveRain (a real estate oriented blog site) and to create "Champions" for FloorPlanOnline. Often, the more successful agents are turning to these mediums as it is a hot topic in the real estate world.
We have also been involved in several grass roots industry events that use social media to talk about the events. In addition, our tours come with built-in social media tools. Anyone can post a home tour to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or over 100 other "social" networking sites, by clicking our "Share" button. So now, a home seller can actively participate in the marketing of their own home by posting a FloorPlanOnline tour to their Facebook Wall so all their contacts can see their home they are selling. Same for the agent. Even the buyer can share their potential new home with their friends. So the multiplier effect takes hold, and spreads."

After getting Pulitzer'd with THE LATE GEORGE APLEY, John P. Marquand* revisited the theme of stuffy Boston Brahmins vs. progressive New Yorkers via the compromised life choices Mr. H. M. Pulham settles for. Appropriately, King Vidor's film adaptation plays the same road-not-taken tune, but not to its benefit. The concessions begin with the cast. Robert Young isn't a bad choice for Pulham, the too-easily led scion of a rich Boston family who leaves his heart in New York with Hedy Lamarr, falling back on a comfortable match of convenience with Ruth Hussey, but he hasn't the star wattage to make us care about all those missed chances. You certainly could make a fascinating film about a man who wound up living the slightly dulled life he was destined for (see Updike, Cheever, New Englanders in general?), but this isn't it. Vidor keeps pointing us toward interesting scenes & character turns that never materialize (was the budget trimmed at the last minute?), like Pulham's troublesome kid sister (Bonita Granville) or his vaguely radical best pal, a young & skinny Van Heflin. Best is Hedy Lamarr who, just this once, gets to play a role not so far from the smart, independent woman she was in real life.** The plot whittles her down for a cop-out 'happy' ending, but it's still her best perf.
WATCH THIS, NOT THAT: *Hard to believe this is the same J. P. Marquand who wrote the MR. MOTO books that grew into all those delightfully eccentric little 'B' pics with Peter Lorre/'37-'39. Or, stick with the relucantly happy marriage topic with Ernst Lubitsch's HEAVEN CAN WAIT/'43.

Churchill Crocodile
After trials with flame fuel carried in trailers and tested on Valentines (qv) in 1942, the General Staff decided to standardise on a flame-throwing system actuated by gas (nitrogen) pressure. Design was finalised in 1943 with an initial order for 250 units featuring armour protection for the fuel trailer, and the Churchill IV was selected as operating vehicle. In October 1943 the Mk VII was chosen instead. Fuel passed along the belly via a "link" with the trailer, and the projector replaced the hull machine gun. Late production Churchill VIIs were all built for speedy adaptation to the Crocodile role as required. Vehicle's main armament could still be used, of course. Range of the Crocodile was 80-120 yards in 80 one-second bursts from a full trailer. When empty or hit the trailer could be jettisoned. Trailer weighed 6t (long) tons. Used in NW Europe 1944-45, total production was 800 Crocodile units by May 1945, 250 earmarked for the Far East.
Churchill AVRE: (AVRE : Armoured Vehicle, Royal Engineers)
Though the Dieppe raid was unsuccessful it proved that specialised types of armour were needed to assist assault forces in landing on and taking fortified open beaches. Urgently shown to be necessary was a heavily armoured vehicle to carry and support assault engineers charged with breaching heavy defences. Lt. Donovan of the Royal Canadian Engineers proposed adapting an existing tank. Both the Ram and Sherman were evaluated for the role, but the choice fell on the Churchill which had a roomier hull plus side escape doors which were useful for egress under fire. A spigot mortar, called a Petard, of 29cm calibre and firing a 40lb bomb 80 yards, was developed, tested in a Covenanter tank, and modified for fitting on the 6pdr mount of the Churchill III or IV. 180 Churchills of these marks were converted to AVREs by D-Day, June 6, 1944, and equipped the 1st Assault Brigade of 79th Armoured Division at this time. Subsequently another 574 vehicles were converted and AVREs played an important part in the NW Europe campaign. AVREs were fitted to carry and drop fascines (brushwood bundles), the CIRD (Canadian Indestructible Roller Device) for mine-clearing, and SBG (Small Box Girder) bridges, attachment points being incorporated for all these to be handled as required. A few AVREs were unarmed or lacked the usual AVRE fittings, these being used mainly for training. Also produced for use with the AVRE was a sledge for towing stores, fascines, or explosives. Further AVRE development took place post-war, again with the Churchill as a basis, though this is beyond the scope of the present volume.
Sherman Crab I and II
A further refinement from the Lobster, this was developed in June 1943 and put into production and a complete brigade of 79th Armoured Division was equipped with these vehicles for the Normandy landings. The Crab rotor had 43 flailing chains which beat the ground ahead of the vehicle, drive for the rotor coming via a power take-off from the engine. Beneath the rotor arms were wire-cutters for clearing barbed wire. There was a screen across the hull front and covers over the driver's and assistant driver's periscopes to offer protection against dust and earth thrown up by the flails. Crabs were organised in troops of five and were allocated for mine clearing operations as required by local commanders. Crabs were fitted with lane-marking equipment (to indicate "swept" lanes) and station-keeping lights for following vehicles. The Mk II version differed from the Mk I in having a contouring device to give better coverage of rough or irregular ground. A Sherman BARV was also fitted experimentally with Crab equipment, but used only for trials.

USS Barry
From Wikipedia:
USS Barry (DD-933) was one of eighteen Forrest Sherman-class destroyers of the United States Navy, and was the third US destroyer to be named for Commodore John Barry. Commissioned in 1954, she spent most of her career in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Mediterranean, but also served in the Vietnam War, for which she earned two battle stars. Another notable aspect of her service was the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
Decommissioned in 1982, she is now a museum ship at the Washington Navy Yard.

International Football - the betting sheet
So to recap briefly on how to read this spreadsheet ...
Worka on a home / away basis using a power ranking system to award performance points based on
- actually winning,
- the size of the win,
- the strength of the opponent
- whether it was an upset or not.
PK = Pick where (+) = home and (-) = away
MAR = Margin of win where 1 pt = 1/100th of a goal.
Is an attempt to show the results of previous matches where we had teams that were simialrly ranked with a similar margin.
PK = Pick where (+) = home and (-) = away
H/D/A = % of games results
OBS = number of previous matches used for %
In club based spreadsheets I'd want around 100 OBS before really being comfortable with the res system to being accurate to +/- 3%.
With internationals you have some RES predictions that have less than 20 OBS I'd say that the number could easily be +/- 10% of the REAL figure so be careful and don't wager your bank on a game with only a few previous items of data.
(Club leagues literally have 10 seasons x 380 games and as many as 300+ OBS)
A backtesting sytem that finds games that "could" be considered a value play as the odds outweigh the risk - and there is a reasonable chance of the result occuring.
These are the bets shown in GREEN BACKGROUND along with the price.
There are six home wins (including Scotland !!) and five draws (including Israel) so I suspect UK punters will be hoping that this works again.

These college announcements are getting ridiculous.
Last Wednesday night's televised decisions of highly coveted high school boys' basketball players Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel just reinforced that to me.
The ESPNU production that was the commitments of Muhammad to UCLA and Noel to the University of Kentucky wasn't quite as bad as the LeBron James' "Decision" show on ESPN back in July of 2010, but it wasn't far off.
The Shelby County softball team fell to visiting Gallatin County 7-1 on Monday afternoon in its first game in nearly two weeks.
The Rockets (3-9), whose previous game was a 4-2 victory over Spencer County on April 3, had as many errors (five) as hits in the loss.
The Wildcats tallied two runs in the third inning, three in the fourth and two in the seventh.
Shelby scored its lone run in the bottom of the third when Abby Wills reached base on a fielder's choice, then scored on Hayley Powell's triple.
The Shelby County baseball team ended spring break week with a successful trip down South.
The Rockets (10-6) won a pair of games – beating Gatlinburg-Pittman (Tenn.), 12-2, and Anderson County (Tenn.), 11-9 – and also got to meet one of their all-time greats.
"We had a couple of goals of the Tennessee trip," Shelby County Coach Bart "Rudy" Roettger said. "One, [we] wanted to improve team unity, two [we] wanted to play good baseball, three [we] wanted to have fun. Mission accomplished."
The hits, and victories, kept on coming for the Collins baseball team.
The Titans (14-3) finished up their spring break week with triumphs over Henry County and Scott County, 8-3 and 11-1, respectively, then picked up on Monday where they left off with a 9-0 shellacking of Simon Kenton – their seventh consecutive victory.
COLLINS 8, HENRY COUNTY 3: The Titans rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to beat the Wildcats (3-7) for the second time this season last Thursday.
LAWRENCEBURG - The Collins softball team began its "second" season in dramatic fashion.
The visiting Titans tallied two runs in the top of the eighth inning to beat Anderson County 4-2 Monday evening in their 30th District opener.
Collins came in having lost four straight games – the last three over the weekend in the Capital City Showcase in Frankfort – and five of its previous six, but the Titans bounced back against the Bearcats.
The Shelby County School Board will meet Thursday and put in place its board goals that were discussed during the March 22 meeting.
The goals, which will rely heavily on the results from the state's new testing system, which includes end-of-course assessments, were set using the district Five Main Things — Curriculum Alignment, Instructional Norms, Professional Learning, Intervention and Enrichment — and outline how the board can help the administration through accountability and commitment.
An obviously unhappy and irritated Kentucky General Assembly reconvened this week in a special session called by Gov. Steve Beshear.
"Absolutely no one is happy about being here," said Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville), who represents the 58th District.
Beshear called the session to address two bills, the transportation budget and a bill to curb prescription drug abuse.
Mike Zoeller wants the people of Shelbyville to know that the council is still hard at work and looking for ways to help fund the city's services and future plans.
"Up to just a few years ago we applied for and received state and federal grants to help improve and maintain some areas of the city," he said. "Most of those grants are now gone, so we are working on new ways to obtain monies, for example a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) program that can help us greatly."
Norris Beckley sat on the Shelbyville City Council for four years in the 1980s, and he'd like to get that seat back.
Beckley, a Democrat who lives in Martinsville with his wife Teretha, has two sons Norris 'Boomer' Beckley Jr. and Richland.
"I'm excited to give it a second shot," he said, referring to coming up short in the 2010 election. "I'm really looking forward to going door-to-door and meeting people and getting my name out.
If Sunday's first Robertson Equine Sale was any indication, Shelby County could be come the new face for spring and fall equine auctions.
"It went really, really well," said Jimmy Robertson, who, along with this wife, Helen, put the sale together. "I think it's going to be a permanent thing."
The Robertson sale was created to fill the void left by the Lexington Tatersalls sale, which closed its doors when Ed and Suzie Teater retired after last fall's sale.

Pack a laptop if you're gonna blog while cycle touring!
I can't tell you how much of a hassle it is to get photos uploaded from my phone and captioned etc in WordPress. The biggest change I would make to my kit if I do another similar tour is to bring a laptop so I can easily write my blog posts and upload my photos. WiFi is generally available but access to a PC (that isn't from the 90s) is tough to get – and libraries recently have been really stuffy about how long I can stay on the PC for.
So I may just publish the last several days of posts without photos and then add the photos later. Otherwise I'm not sure when they'll get published as we're back in the middle of nowhere now!
3 Responses to "Pack a laptop if you're gonna blog while cycle touring!"
Should have brought an Air.
Android phone? *ducks*

It is frustrating to read this thread and not see the inside. I also believe the fabric to be recently added.
To me, for an item to be authenticated, all aspects must be seen. While I tend to believe members, when information or aspects are kept hidden, I have to believe that the item is fake / not real. I mean, how can one truly tell? I would never buy a medal without seeing the reverse, or a helmet without seeing the inside. When a seller deliberately doesn't show an aspect, it's for a reason. I suspect such reasoning is the same with this helmet...
The longer this thread continues without photo's of the interior and liner band, which is still present, according to an earlier post, the more I think this is a post war fictional piece. Come on Chris, put us out of our misery and give us some good photo's of the inside of this 'Normandy chicken wire helmet'!
Guys, the original thread posted by chris was a helmet for our viewing pleasure, i dont believe he was asking for opinions on authenticity, i think we have seen enough of chris,s relics that he obtains to accept that he gets some very nice items, and has local knowledge of the areas that he visits. I had to ask myself two questions, one why would anyone with a fair bit of knowledge and a regular poster of threads, attempt to post an item that he did not believe was totally genuine, especially as hes not asking for a price or buyers, two, hessian does not always rot away or turn to powder, and can still remain quite strong over many years, this i know for a fact as i have a 50s turtle helmet that has hessian on it and was used by my eldest cousin, its still good today. As for the hesitation regarding the liner photos, i would suggest that chris may be somewhat reluctant to add to this thread after receiving a number of negative opinions, it seems hes quite happy with the items that he collects and shows them on the forum for our viewing pleasure, Yes there is a possibility that the helmet is not what it seems the same possibility remains as to a genuine item and one that chris believes to be so hence its posting on this forum, i believe that if he had doubts on this item he would air them, i for one respect all the experts opinions and advice on this forum and without them it would be very dull but there are times when i feel there are over critical and analytical opinions being aired, i hope that my comments do not offend the members on here as this was not my intent, regards dave
I doubt anyone here was being mean-spirited. We only are wondering why there are no photos of the interior. Usually, any helmet posted for our enjoyment or for evaluation is shown from all angles, including the inside. I don't question Chris's integrity and I know he has some excellent posts and beautiful finds. I also understand that he is not trying to sell this helmet or get a monetary value assessment. It really is not a matter of personal feelings, just our innate curiosity. I hope he can post a photo of the inside, just because I am curious as to how it looks.
i understand that tampalan just haaving followed this thread and knowing chris as well some people were less than understanding over the whole interior issues and as you are aware the term fake is coming up considerable in latter posts
Though I no longer collect TR, I still have an appreciation for untouched historic artifacts, especially from Normandy. You have a beautiful piece and I salute you for not giving into temptation by destroying it by dis-assembly. I see you feel the same as I, if you know it is real and what you have, that is all that matters. Thanks for showing such an incredibly rare piece.

I'll bet you were thinking I had a wild weekend. I'm sorry if you're disappointed. Totally Trashed! I assume that you own one of these or a similar configuration. Don't you just LOVE it?
Trash has never looked so good.You found a clever replacement!
Only YOU could make a trash can so adorable and for such a great price. I have been searching for a new kitchen waste basket – I will have to visit Wal-Mart today. Thanks!
Totally clever. I wish I was European and flat on the back, too.
That's a great idea!I have to stick with plastic. I'm still trying to teach my kids to get their trash in the can, not on it!! lol
Couldn't agree with you more. My foot on the can has been broken for years- it still works but the black foot is gone-only a skinn metal piece is htere- and it hurts if you are not wearing shoes. I love that Wal-mart find- the question is- does it smell bad- the can seems ti hold in the smell. If it does- Im in!
lol about it being European! It still looks nice and has to be a little more durable. I wish I had your creative genius. I would've never thought to do that.
Good luck finding the one you really want; but for what it's worth, I think your solution looks really nice.*hugs*
I am so glad I follow you dear Decor to Adore as I was planning on buying a new trash can this week and planned on buying a tin one like you have/had. I have now been inspired to re group… Thank you from keeping me from making a pricy oops!!! Blogland is priceless…he heBlessingsRoxanne
Nice to meet you. I came over from Bella's party to visit your Etsy store….
I am glad you found something that works. One of these days perhaps one with a flat back will pop up for you. Then you can get it.
That's great you guys are going to train for a marathon. I'd like to do one but I think I need a few more halfs under my belt first.
Wouldn't it be great to have an authentic grape gathering basket?! I guess if I had one, I'm not sure I'd use it for trash though! hee I love what you have instead. It looks much nicer than the ugly plastic one I have. I may need to start shopping for a replacement as well. ;D
I love you blog, all the historic houses and trash cans… You make even a trash can seem interesting.
Very pretty solution, Laura. None of our kitchen cabinets would accomodate a trash can, so for the first 5 or 6 years we lived here, I tried all kinds of containers but was never really happy with any. When we remodeled and added an island, its #1 job was to house trash and recycle bins. That it's otherwise multi-functional and good-looking are totally secondary!
Sounds like you need to get hubby to take you on a trip back to Europe in search of the perfect trash can. Isn't that crazy when you have something in your mind you want and can't FIND it?? I like your temporary wicker basket.
I think it looks absolutely fabulous!! Great job. 🙂xo Lidy
That was soooooooo funny.LOL…Well you had to come up with something! Hugs Marie Antionette
I am almost getting tired of repeatedly telling you how creative you are!!! I hate my trash can. I hate emptying it (and yes, it is always me)! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if it looked as good as yours!! Can I steal the idea??Thanks for sharing your redo! 🙂xoxoJane
European is GOOD 😉 hehe!!LOVE your idea.. don't you think you can fine one online?? OR ask some old neighbours in France to help you out?? Monica
The wicker is a great look for your trash container.
A very creative solution AND I think I'll stop using the words "trash" and "garbage" and substitute to word "rubbish" instead.
really – too cute, round back or not!!!
Well there you go! That is an awesome idea about using the lining as a bag. I never would have thought of it. (duh) : ) You are just the smartest! : ) ~Liz
Well, it's almost as good. Mimi
I thought of this post last night as I was emptying the kitchen garbage, which sits in the ugly, stained trash can under our sink. It works for us. I've just never honestly thought of having an attractive trash can as I prefer to store the can out of sight. 🙂
Neat! Love this idea so much! XO,Sheila 🙂
Wonderful transformation! So very cleaver! Me loves it! 🙂
A super good looking and creative solution! I didn't know those expensive trash lifting cans would break so easy!What were you doing living abroad?
Now this was a great idea and it looks great too!LuLu~*

Microsoft IE8 Won't Break Existing Web
A Microsoft General Manager broke Microsoft's silence regarding Internet Explorer 8 by sharing details on a blog post of the company's new web browser that will launch in the first half of 2008.
For IE 8, we want to communicate facts, not aspirations, Dean Hachamovitch said. We're posting this information now because we have real working code checked in and we're confident about delivering it in the final product. We're listening to the feedback about IE, and at the same time, we are committed to responsible disclosure and setting expectations properly.
Microsoft conducts a test called Acid2 Browser Test before releasing a new browser in the market, which determines how well a browser adheres to Web standards. Hachamovitch reported the browser passed the test last week.
With respect to standards and interoperability, our goal in developing Internet Explorer 8 is to support the right set of standards with excellent implementations and do so without breaking the existing Web, Hachamovitch said.
The design of the IE 8 will have similar characteristics to Office 2007. The browser will use a single main menu button in the upper left corner and a Quick Access Toolbar in the out space area to the right of this button.
Microsoft responded to the criticism of its current IE 7 for its non-customizable and non-standard toolbar layout by removing its Command Bar and returning all toolbar buttons to the main toolbar where they were originally in its IE6 version.

I like it alot
I used watch this show because I used to watch batman as a kid and Robin was my favorite character. Now I watch it because I love the characters, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin of course are all really cool.
Yes! They finally have season two of this classic show! Rock on Teen Titans!
I've been hoping that iTunes would come to their senses and put this show up for download! And, finally, it's here! Well, 2 seasons are, anyway. I'm crossing my fingers in hope they'll add the other 3 seasons. Fans of the show: Show your support and download! This cartoon is amazing, definitely worth buying.^^ (especially considering some of the other crap CN now has on its lineup) I'm still holding out for a 6th season! *crosses fingers*

Tamworth FC coach Greg Bartlett describes 2017 as a missed opportunity for his side.
"I think it was a year we let slip to be honest," Bartlett said.
"We were good enough. I didn't fear any of the other teams in the competition."
Tamworth FC were knocked out of the Northern Inland Premier League first grade competition when they went down to eventual premiers North Companions in the semi-finals.
Bartlett believed his side had the potential to go all the way last year and an off day cost Tamworth FC.
"We didn't perform to the best of our ability," he said.
"I said before the game [against North Companions], whoever won would probably go on to win the competition.
"It probably put an exclamation mark on our season. That we created so many chances all year and didn't finish a lot of them.
"We had enough chances to win that game.
"But we have to move forward now and I think our squad will be better than last year."
Bartlett's confidence comes from Tamworth FC's retention of players – the coach said he wasn't aware of any losses – coupled with a couple new signings.
Chris Hughes – who last played for Tamworth FC in 2015 – will return to the club after being transferred back to Tamworth with his job.
Bartlett was stoked to have the midfielder back in the fold.
"He's a very good player," Bartlett said of Hughes.
"He played when we won reserve grade a couple of years ago and played a fair bit of first grade, too."
Hughes isn't the only new player to the squad, though.
While Bartlett didn't mention the player's name, he did have this to say.
"He'll be really important to what we do," Bartlett said.
Bartlett said numbers had been good at pre-season training and the players were keen as they prepare for their first matches of the year.
Tamworth FC will take on Armidale City Westside in the FFA Cup – a date and venue is still to be confirmed – while the side is also heading to Nambucca Heads in March for the Challenge Cup.
Wests Entertainment Group has also come on as sponsor for Tamworth FC.

Any Cortical Bridging Predicts Healing of Tibial Shaft Fractures. - The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume
There is no consensus regarding the optimal radiographic criteria for predicting the final healing of fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine if the time to the radiographic appearance of cortical bridging predicted the final healing of tibial shaft fractures, to examine the reliability of this assessment, and to determine when it is most accurate during the postoperative period.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data on 176 tibial fractures (OTA [Orthopaedic Trauma Association] 42-A, B, and C) treated with intramedullary nailing at a level-I trauma center from 2007 through 2010. Postoperative radiographs were assessed for varying degrees of cortical bridging, and interobserver reliability was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and chi-square analyses determined the accuracy of cortical bridging assessments in predicting union.RESULTS: The nonunion rate was 7%. Any cortical bridging within four months was an excellent predictor of final healing (accuracy = 99%, area under the curve [AUC] = 0.995, p < 0.0001) and was the most reliable criterion (kappa = 0.90). All fractures that showed unicortical bridging eventually showed bridging of three cortices without additional intervention.CONCLUSIONS: Assessment for any cortical bridging by four months postoperatively is a reliable, accurate predictor of tibial shaft fracture-healing. This relatively early radiographic finding discriminates between fractures that will undergo late union with observation alone and those destined for nonunion.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level IV.

Genomewide molecular and biologic characterization of biomembrane formation adjacent to a methacrylate spacer in the rat femoral segmental defect model. - Journal of orthopaedic trauma
This study focuses upon the morphologic and molecular features of the layer of cells, termed the "biomembrane," which forms around methacrylate spacers in bone segmental defects. The objective of this research was to assess the biomembrane formed in a novel rodent femoral segmental defect model at 4, 8, and 16 weeks with histologic and molecular studies.Following Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval, a segmental defect was created in the rat femur and stabilized with the AO LockingRatNail and analyzed at 4, 8, and 16 weeks postsurgery using digital radiologic imaging, morphological and immunohistochemical studies, and genomewide gene expression studies employing microarray analysis.The biomembrane formed around the methacrylate spacer was rich in vasculature, which showed vascular endothelial growth factor immunolocalization. The biomembrane supported development of foci of bone and cartilage within it. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 immunolocalization and gene expression were positive within developing osseous and chondrocyte foci. Microarray analysis showed significant expression of key genes related to bone and cartilage formation and angiogenesis.This rat bone model was effective in creation of the biomembrane. Bone and cartilage foci were formed within the vascularized biomembrane with associated expression of genes critical for bone and cartilage development/formation and vascularization. The polymethyl methacrylate-induced biomembrane offers an exciting potential solution for segmental defects; the biomembrane, may act as a receptive bed and also serve as a source for mesenchymal stem cells, which could be recruited/directed for the healing process.
Utilization of the AO LockingRatNail in a novel rat femur critical defect model. - Journal of investigative surgery : the official journal of the Academy of Surgical Research
Our objective was to utilize a commercially available rodent locked intramedullary nail in a rat femur diaphyseal defect. This model is needed for future studies where materials in the critical defect could be modified with agents to fight infection (antibiotics) or promote osteogenesis.After unsatisfactory attempts to develop a reliable femur critical size defect model utilizing various forms of fixation, a locked intramedullary nailing system (AO LockingRatNail) was employed in 105 male Sprague Dawley rats. A 5 mm critical size mid-diaphyseal femoral defect was created using a pneumatic sagittal saw. The intramedullary nail was placed in the femur in a retrograde manner. A prefabricated polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) spacer was utilized to fill the defect. Once adequate alignment was achieved, two locking pegs were placed (one distal, one proximal) to provide stable fixation.The technique was successful in 90% of femurs (95 of 105). The majority of complications centered on failure of the placement of locking pegs (7 of 10). One rat presented with migration of the nail out of the knee. Two rats presented with fractures not recognized intraoperatively. These complications occurred early in the study and decreased as surgical experience increased. Surgery was tolerated well by the rats as reflected by significant weight postoperative gain (p < .001).The AO LockingRatNail is a novel, reproducible, and successful method for stabilization of critical size femoral diaphyseal defects in the rat. This model has future value in the examination of the biological processes involved in the healing of critical bone defects.
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 use in the off-label treatment of nonunions and acute fractures: a retrospective review. - The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is Food and Drug Administration-approved for use in acute open tibial shaft fractures. Some surgeons, however, also use BMP-2 in an "off-label" application for other acute fractures and for nonunion care. This retrospective study was performed to assess radiographic outcomes of off-label uses of BMP-2 for acute fractures and nonunions at our institution.All eligible off-label BMP-2 applications between 2004 and 2008 for acute fractures or nonunions were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were completed to identify patient and clinical factors that could predict radiographic success or failure of the procedure.One hundred sixteen of 145 BMP-2 applications in 104 of 128 patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The overall radiographic union rate was 66% (76 of 116). In the univariate analysis, five factors correlated with significantly higher union rate: volume of bone defect <4 cm3, >2 cortices in contact at the index procedure, male gender, body mass index <30, and history of closed fracture pattern. Within the multivariate analysis, factors independently predictive of radiographic union included open versus closed fracture, gender, and volume of bone defect.Off-label use of BMP-2 in acute fractures and nonunions resulted in a 66% success rate. It remains uncertain whether there is any clinical advantage to this approach, but it appears that female gender, open injury, and higher volumes of bone defect may be important negative prognostic factors for obtaining radiographic union. Appropriately powered prospective randomized trials are needed for further clarification, especially in light of the high cost of this treatment.
Quality and content of Internet-based information for ten common orthopaedic sports medicine diagnoses. - The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume
Although the use of the Internet to access health information has grown quickly, the emergence of quality controls for health information web sites has been considerably slower. The primary objective of this study was to assess the quality and content of Internet-based information for commonly encountered diagnoses within orthopaedic sports medicine.Ten common diagnoses within the scope of orthopaedic sports medicine were chosen. Custom grading templates were developed for each condition, and they included an assessment of web-site type, the accountability and transparency of the information (Health On the Net Foundation [HON] score), and the information content. Information content was divided into five subcategories: disease summary, pathogenesis, diagnostics, treatment and complications, and outcomes and prognosis. Two popular search engines were used, and the top ten sites from each were independently reviewed by three authors. Data were evaluated for interobserver variability, HON scores, information content scores, and subgroup score comparisons.After eliminating duplicate sites, a total of 154 unique sites were reviewed. The most common web-site types were commercial (seventy-four sites) and academic (thirty-two sites). Average HON scores, on a 16-point scale, were 9.8, 9.5, and 8.5, for reviewers 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Average information content scores, on a 100-point scale, were 56.8, 56.0, and 54.8 for reviewers 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Average content scores in each subgroup ranged between 45% and 61% of the maximum possible score. The presence of the HONcode seal was associated with significantly higher HON (p = 0.0001) and content scores (p = 0.002).The quality and content of health information on the Internet is highly variable for common sports medicine topics. Patients should be encouraged to exercise caution and to utilize only well-known sites and those that display the HONcode seal of compliance with transparency and accountability practices.
A biomechanical evaluation of ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction using a novel technique for ulnar-sided fixation. - The American journal of sports medicine
Techniques for ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction have evolved since its original description.Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction using the ZipLoop for ulnar-sided fixation, as combined with the humeral docking technique supplemented with an interference screw, will restore valgus stability similar to that of the Jobe technique and the native ligament.Controlled laboratory study.Kinematic testing was performed on 8 matched pairs of cadaver elbows with an electromagnetic tracking system through an arc of motion for the intact, disrupted, and reconstructed states of the UCL in an unloaded and loaded condition. From each pair, the docking technique using the ZipLoop for ulnar fixation and humeral docking technique supplemented with an interference screw and the traditional Jobe technique were performed with matched gracilis allograft tendons. After kinematic testing, both reconstruction groups were tested to failure at 70 degrees of flexion.Kinematic results for the unloaded condition showed that both reconstruction techniques significantly overcorrected (less valgus angulation) the specimens between 40 degrees and 120 degrees of flexion when compared with the intact ligament (all P values < .027). Under loaded conditions, the ulnar trajectories for both reconstruction techniques exhibited significantly greater valgus angulation (undercorrection) at 20 degrees of flexion (Jobe, P = .0084; ZipLoop, P = .0289) when compared with the intact ligament but were not significantly different over the remaining arc of motion. Failure testing resulted in no significant statistical difference between the 2 reconstruction groups. Failure testing demonstrated that humeral tunnel egress, midsubstance elongation, and ulnar tunnel egress of the ligament were similar between the reconstruction techniques.The docking technique using the ZipLoop for ulnar-sided fixation is biomechanically equivalent to the Jobe technique for UCL reconstruction. Both reconstruction techniques restore valgus stability similar to that of the native UCL ligament.This modification in the docking technique restores elbow kinematics while eliminating the risk of ulnar bone bridge fracture, and it allows for retensioning of the graft after cortical fixation.
Proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures with severe soft tissue injury: clinical and functional results at 2 years. - Clinical orthopaedics and related research
Controversy exists regarding management of proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures with severe soft tissue injury. It is unclear whether limb salvage or early amputation results in the best functional and clinical outcomes.We hypothesized that in this group of patients, there is no difference in functional outcomes, complication rates, clinical outcomes, or objective physical function related to the treatment approach.We used the LEAP study database to perform a retrospective comparative review of a subset of patients with proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures (AO/OTA 41A, B, and C) with associated severe soft tissue injuries comparing the outcomes of patients who were treated with either limb salvage or amputation.Although there were major differences in clinical and functional outcomes based on patients' sociodemographics at 2 years, no differences in clinical or functional outcomes were detected regardless of whether amputation or limb salvage was performed. Severity of soft tissue injury was more predictive of outcome than the surgical approach used.Sociodemographics and soft tissue injury severity are more important than treatment approach for predicting clinical and functional outcomes at 2 years in patients with proximal tibia metaphyseal fractures with severe soft tissue injury.Level III, retrospective comparative study.

MRI measurement of the 2 bundles of the normal anterior cruciate ligament. - Orthopedics
Anatomical studies have shown that the normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) consists of 2 distinct functional bundles: the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles. To date, no study has assessed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles. The purpose of this study was to measure the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles using high-field digital MRI. Fifty MRIs of the knees of 50 patients were prospectively collected using a 1.5-T magnet. The length and width of each ACL bundle was measured on sagittal and coronal digital MRIs, independently performed by 2 observers blinded to each other's measurements. The average length and width of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles were determined for all patients. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to determine intertester test-retest reliability. In the sagittal plane, the anteromedial bundle averaged 36.9+/-2.8 mm in length and 5.1+/-0.7 mm in width. The posterolateral bundle, by contrast, averaged 20.5+/-2.4 mm in length and 4.4+/-0.8 mm in width. In the coronal plane, the width of the anteromedial bundle averaged 4.2+/-0.8 mm and of the posterolateral bundle averaged 3.7+/-0.8 mm. Interobserver reliability for length of the ACL in the sagittal plane was 0.85, with a 95% CI of 0.75 to 0.91 for the anteromedial bundle and 0.75 with a 95% CI of 0.60 to 0.85 for the posterolateral bundle. Providing precise measurement of the ACL anteromedial and posterolateral bundles on MRI may improve the ability to detect damage to 1 or both of the bundles following injury.
Primary anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a preliminary 2-year prospective study. - The American journal of sports medicine
The anterior cruciate ligament consists of 2 functional bundles, the anteromedial bundle and the posterolateral bundle. Single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the current standard for the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. However, a significant subset of patients continues to report residual symptoms of instability after such reconstruction.Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may more closely restore normal kinematics of the knee by reproducing the native anatomy.Case series; Level of evidence, 4.We report the current clinical outcomes of the initial 100 consecutive patients who underwent anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an average follow-up of 2.1 +/- 0.5 years. All patients were prospectively followed to document range of motion, ligamentous laxity, and functional strength, as well as activity and sports participation.Side-to-side difference in range of motion was 2 degrees +/- 3 degrees for extension and 2 degrees +/- 5 degrees for flexion. Sixty-five percent of patients had a normal Lachman test result, and 33% were nearly normal. For the pivot-shift test findings, 94% were normal, and 6% were nearly normal. The average side-to-side difference in the KT-2000 arthrometer test was 1.0 +/- 2.3 mm. There were 8 graft failures, 7 of which had subsequent revision surgery. No patients reported pain, swelling, or instability during activities of daily living, and 73% to 78% had no symptoms during very strenuous or strenuous sports activities. The scores of the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form, Activities of Daily Living, and Sports Activity Scores of the Knee Outcome Survey were 85.0, 91.8, and 87.0, respectively, and were similar compared with patients undergoing single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, which we have previously reported. Fifty-one percent described their current activity level as normal, and 35% reported it as nearly normal.Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction results in good restoration of joint stability and patient-reported outcomes when evaluated 2 years after surgery.
Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction revision surgery. - Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association
With the increasing number of double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions being performed, revision cases are expected. This report describes the first 3 cases of revision double-bundle ACL surgeries performed at our institution. In 3 athletes in whom the ACL was previously reconstructed with an anatomic double-bundle technique, new traumatic events occurred and an ACL retear was diagnosed. In cases 1 and 2 the anteromedial (AM) bundle was completely torn and the posterolateral (PL) bundle was stretched and nonfunctional. In case 1 both bundles were reconstructed via the previous tunnels, and the AM and PL grafts were tensioned at 60 degrees of flexion and full extension, respectively. In case 2 the PL femoral tunnel was posterosuperior to the PL anatomic position. Therefore we drilled a third femoral tunnel and used the previous PL tunnel as our new AM tunnel. In case 3 the rupture pattern presented an intact and functional PL bundle and a midsubstance AM tear. We decided to revise only the AM bundle using the previous AM tunnels, which were anatomically positioned. This report shows that revision of anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction is reasonable to accomplish and that the principles of anatomy are essential as a guide to approaching each case.

As for the fear of god and Claire Danes
Last year, I was really stressed. I was stressed about standardized testing, grades, extracurriculars, and my personal life. By the end of last year, I had consistently been self-inflicting sleep deprivation for weeks and was basically
. So drained, in fact, that one night while studying for AP tests at 2 in the morning, I decided it would be a good idea - in the interest of documentation - to take a picture of my poor bedraggled self as an illustration of "This is as best as it gets." All I can say at this point is - I hope I was right. I hope I don't stress out as much as I did last year as I'm bound to this year about college applications. Because the essays have instilled
the fear of god
in me. It can't be healthy. When I can't sleep I fantasize about opening the email that starts with "Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you..." I've already picked out my happy song to dance around my room to if I get in (Blister in the Sun - The Violent Femmes).
For those of you who are cool, you'll get the reference: Angela Chase danced around to that song in her room in "My So-Called Life" when she was happy about being over Jordan Catalano. Needless to say, I celebrate about academic achievements a tad more frequently than I celebrate about guys. *Sigh* Thus is life
Point being, you should all watch MSCL. It's on Netflix Instant. There is nothing stopping you. Go. Do it.
Here is Angela Chase:

In a similar vein, as a treat for you all, here is the song that Buffalo Tom played when they guested on MSCL. It's great in that 90s kind of way. Enjoy!
