2013 Dodge Dart Adding Special Edition Packages
- 2013 Dodge Dart gaining special editions
- SXT and Limited Special Edition add features
- Rallye Appearance Group adds styling touches
Dodge's compact Dart sedan will soon gain three new special edition option packages. Two of the new packages are based on the mid-level Dart SXT, while the other adds features to the upscale Dart Limited.
Dodge calls its least-expensive package the Rallye Appearance Group. Available for $395 on the Dart SXT, the package includes a Rallye badge on the trunk, a dark-colored grille and 17-inch alloy wheels.
That gives Dart shoppers two different Rallye models to choose from. Our Dodge Dart long-term test car features the other Rallye Package, which costs $1,000 above a standard Dart SXT. In addition to items from the Rallye Appearance Group, the Rallye Package offers dual exhausts, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and premium cloth seats.
Dodge is offering a new Special Edition package for the SXT, as well. Available for $595, the package includes the same black grille as the Rallye, along with Bluetooth, fog lights, cruise control and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.
Topping the range of the Dart's latest offerings is a Special Edition package for the Dart Limited. Since the Dart Limited is already well-equipped, the Special Edition package includes more upscale features. Available for $1,810, it features a sunroof, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, SiriusXM satellite radio and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The new packages are likely the result of Dodge grouping popular options to make it easier for shoppers to find the right Dart. The sedan went on sale in June 2012, giving Dodge ample time to analyze shopper preferences.
The 2013 Dodge Dart competes with the Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Four trim levels are offered: the base-level Dart SE, the mid-level SXT, the upscale Limited and the fuel-efficient Dart Aero. Prices range from $16,500 with shipping for a Dart SE to around $20,500 for a Dart Limited.
What it means to you: If you're considering a Dodge Dart, you may be interested in the sedan's latest special edition option packages.

The Capital of North Iceland
Akureyri is considered a city, in fact Iceland's second largest, even though its total population is only about 18,000.
Set on the shores of one of Iceland's most spectacular fjords, with a backdrop of countryside earth tones and greens and perennially snow-capped mountains, it is quite a sight to behold.
Weather patterns here are a bit of a puzzle—only 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, summer temperatures can soar as high as 60°F. No surprise then that a main attraction is the Botanical Gardens, where over 2,000 species of native and non-native plants flourish without benefit of a greenhouse.

|Brief description
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com translates to the addresses 220.127.116.11 (IPv4) and 2620:0:2d0:200::10 (IPv6).

2 stars (out of 4)
What's Bjork going on about now? The Icelandic singer transforms herself into the world's wiggiest science teacher amid the ultra-ambitious, sometimes lovely, more often ponderous or precious "Biophilia" (Nonesuch).
"Biophilia" is designed as a multi-media project, with custom-made apps for each of its 10 songs designed to expand upon its "unique synthesis of music, nature and science," as Bjork describes it. It presents a series of scientific concepts – gravitational pull, the Moon's effect on the tides, the interval between a lightning strike and a thunder clap – as music. Hey, it's the first iPad suite and it's educational, too (coming to a student seminar near you, the singer promises).
That's all terrific in its own Bjorkian way and you just have to shake your head in bemused admiration. The Icelandic gadfly has made a career out of being something else, and this project is already being hailed as her grandest adventure yet. But her eighth studio album ultimately will be judged as a musical endeavor, and that's where things get problematic.
The trouble starts because the concept outruns the songs – there are very few actually. She borrows from the inspirations of Harry Partch and Tom Waits to employ a number of unlikely or custom-made instruments: a "gameleste," a combination of a gamelan and celesta; a group of pendulums keying the sound of a harp; a Tesla coil. But the elastic time signatures and twinkling percussion, spasms of mid-'90s drum 'n' bass electronic rhythm, operatic choirs, Gothic organ and synthesized noise bursts are rarely organized into any sort of coherent or particularly memorable structure. Most of the tracks feature the singer's voice wandering atop these collages to the point where she often sounds like she's oblivious to them, tacked on to the music rather than interacting with it.
There are exceptional moments: the way the chiming percussion of "Crystalline" gives way to a furious break beat, the air-out-of-the-balloon descent of "Cosmognony," the way the tension in "Mutual Core" finally bubbles over in a beehive of electronics. But only "Virus" connects in the way Bjork's best work can, uniting the fundamental optimism and wonder underlining this project with music that sounds otherworldly yet welcoming. That quality – the playfulness central to a career spent gleefully overturning expectations – is what's missing on much of "Biophilia."

American Herbal
the foundation for herbal medicine
Herbal medicines have provided the
world's populations, including Americans, with safe,
effective and low cost medicines for centuries. They
have a rich and extensive historical basis in use and
study which can be referenced to ancient medical writings.
More importantly, modern research has validated many
of the traditional uses ascribed to herbs. When integrated
into medical care with other medications, botanicals
can provide consumers and patients with the best chance
for maintaining a high quality of life and, in some
cases, increase their chance of survival. They can also
fill therapeutic niches that are not adequately addressed
through conventional therapies. As botanical supplements
are integrated into the health care programs of more
and more people, it becomes necessary that information
regarding their optimal use be made available. Similarly,
independent quality control requirements for producing
herbal products need to be established to ensure that
the highest degree of safety and effectiveness is achieved.
Information relative to their safe clinical use, toxicology,
interactions with conventional drugs, etc., is especially
important to safeguard the public health.
herbal medicines are well integrated into the
health care systems of many other nations, this
is not
the case in the U.S. Authoritative information regarding
proper use and manufacture of herbal medicines
is lacking.
The American Herbal Pharmacopoeia® and Therapeutic
Compendium was founded to address this deficiency.
Our Mission
The Mission of the
American Herbal Pharmacopoeia® (AHP) mission is
to promote the responsible use of herbal medicines
ensure they are used with the highest degree of safety
and efficacy as is achievable. Our primary way to accomplish
this is through the development of standards of identity,
purity, and analysis for botanicals, as well as to
review traditional and scientific data regarding their
efficacy and safety. These works will be disseminated
through a variety of AHP publications such as monographs,
textbooks, and other educational materials; workshops
and conferences; electronic media, and other avenues
of distribution as are appropriate.
Scope of the American
Herbal Pharmacopoeia®
The American Herbal
Pharmacopoeia® began developing qualitative and
therapeutic monographs in 1994, and intends to produce
300 monographs on botanicals, including many of the
Ayurvedic, Chinese and Western herbs most frequently
used in the United States. Once completed, these monographs
represent the most comprehensive and critically reviewed
body of information on herbal medicines in the English
language, and will serve as a primary reference for
academicians, health care providers, manufacturers,
and regulators.

Creating the Killer App Starts with Killer UE/UI
Original posting on RT Blog 13/12/2013
One of the transformations that enterprise software companies – SaaS or otherwise – need to make is to convert the user experience of their applications such that they are far more intuitive and easy to use – far more consumer app-like.
Most enterprise software applications have horrible UE/UI. When it comes to form v function, function has been the hands down winner through the decades. Traditionally, most companies haven't been interested in whether or not users "like" using a business application. More important is whether the application is better able to support the company's required business processes.
However, as the next generation enters the workforce, these new employees have been exposed to software since the time they were children – starting with video games with great graphics and more recently consumer applications such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and iPad/iPhone and Droid applications. The consumer software companies know that their applications must be compelling, enticing and easy to learn/use if they are going to gain acceptance in the consumer markets.
Unlike previous generations of employees who had relatively little interaction with applications/software prior to joining the workforce, this new generation of employees enters with certain expectations of how an application should look and function…and the vast majority – nearly 100% I would guesstimate – of enterprise applications don't even come close to measuring up.
Even Salesforce.com's UI – arguably one of the better enterprise application software companies – isn't great. It still uses conventional master-detail lists that make the UI feel as though the data structures are poking out from the underlying database. Chatter, their new enterprise collaboration application, is a nice step forward for enterprise application software. But it still isn't close to Sim City.
Contrary to traditional beliefs, great enterprise application UI isn't a "nicety"; it's a necessity. Studies have shown that a good UI can decrease the amount of time it takes new employees to come up to speed, thereby saving companies money in up front training expense. And, over time, if an application is easier/faster to use, employees can accomplish their tasks more quickly and accurately thereby generating more productivity. Finally, a good UE/UI can provide significant differentiation during the sales cycle as prospects consider issues such as broad internal use adoption – one of the primary reasons many enterprise application projects fail.
I have the opportunity to see a lot of application software companies and I'm still surprised by how poor most of the UE/UI continues to be. As a result, when I see an application with great UI, it really stands out. Last week, I was pleasantly surprised by a company that presented to me. It is a very early stage company with no venture capital as of yet and limited internal UE/UI expertise.
Realizing UE/UI is critical, they did the smart thing, they bit the bullet and invested in an outside UE design firm from the get go; the results were clearly worth it. Since the firm did such a good job, I'm going to give them a plug. The name of the firm is UE Vision and the CEO is Sarah Kling. Sarah has produced an hour long presentation titled, "The "Killer" Screen: How One Well-Designed Screen Can Sell Your Product" which I think does a very nice job articulating the role of UE/UI in making a company and its products a market success.
I think every application software company's CEO and products teams would be well-served to invest an hour to listen to Sarah's presentation. Whether you ultimately choose to use her firm or another, she provides good advice.
If I were back on the operating side again, I would take all that money I no longer have to spend on hardware (since I'd be buying cloud-based, elastic computing services) and software (open source) and I would invest it in UE/UI. I think it would be money well spent.

Water and energy are essential to the wellbeing of humanity and are vital inputs for business and industry. All investors are directly or indirectly exposed to these elements, and should watch for any change – driven either by sustainability concerns, regulation or technology – that could transform valuable reserves into stranded assets.
Water risk: when the river runs dry
Economic leaders perceive water insecurity as the greatest risk to global society 1. The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a group working with investors, companies and governments on initiatives for a more sustainable world, forecasts a 40% global shortfall between demand and available water supply by 2030. Business-as-usual management of the resource will weaken companies in every sector, undermine countries' long-term economic prospects and diminish global growth by $63tn, the CDP says. The major finding of "Accelerating action", its 2015 Global Water Report, was that companies' reliance on water is growing rapidly as its availability and security is in decline.
For its report, the CDP report surveyed businesses about their water usage and conservation strategies. Its database covers 1000 businesses and provides real-world case studies that demonstrate how assets are becoming stranded – by suffering unanticipated or premature write-downs or devaluations, either temporarily or permanently – due to water-related factors. For example, low water supply is limiting the operations of almost half of US oil and gas wells, and in 2015, dry weather and low stream levels compelled the Alberta energy regulator to restrict the volumes of water that oil-sand drillers could use.
Such findings allow CDP and its investor signatories, including Hermes, to gain a deep understanding of how companies are preparing for and managing the risks of water scarcity. While some focus on business constraints, others are identifying opportunities arising from superior water stewardship. For example, Ford Motor Company has developed technologies to minimise water use in painting and machining, with the latter methods saving up to 1.28m litres each year 2.
The investment response
Water management will be a defining challenge for businesses in the coming decades. Careful management will support industrial growth and minimise environmental impacts; poor management could result in corporate failure and damage to water sources, harming local human and animal populations.
This situation presents opportunities for long-term investors. Corporate bonds financing water infrastructure development, project-finance investments in water-treatment facilities, venture-capital backing for innovative water-usage technologies, stocks in listed water utilities and water rights as real assets provide access points for investors with long-term return targets.
Through stakes in Thames Water Group, Anglian Water Group and Southern Water, Hermes Infrastructure is invested in utilities providing water to 23m people in London and south-east England. These are long-term holdings, generating stable return streams that are linked to UK inflation, managed with a strong focus on good governance, stakeholder alignment and effective social and environmental engagement.
Businesses that integrate superior water management into their strategies, investment plans and risk and supply chain management programmes should better mitigate the risks of water scarcity. They are more likely to develop competitive advantages from greater water efficiency and more easily satisfy future regulations limiting water use. Clearly, such companies will help generate vital environmental and societal benefits too.
Energy risk: multiple ways to strand an asset
The fall in oil prices from well above $100 per barrel in late 2014 to about $40 now has increased pressure on oil producers – particularly in the Russian Arctic, Canadian oil sands and US shale formations, where technology has enabled producers to tap previously unviable reserves – albeit at a higher cost to more easily accessible wells.
By knowing the costs of extraction, refinement and distribution, investors can see the price levels at which revenues for various types of oil break even with the cost of production (see figure 1).
Figure1. Break-even levels for various types of oil
Source: HSBC Climate Strategy Group
Sustained low oil prices will incur higher operational costs for some producers, an economic reality that could turn reserves into stranded assets. But there is another force at play: innovations that are lowering the cost of renewable energy, such as solar energy, which has become dramatically cheaper since 2009 (see figure 2).
Figure 2. The falling cost of solar photovoltaic cells
Source: HSBC Climate Strategy Group
Fossil-fuel reserves could also become obsolete or less valuable if regulations stemming from the Paris Agreement of late 2015, under which 195 countries will aim to limit global warming to less than 2ºC from 2020, come into force. Such new rules could change the costs of producing fossil-fuel energy and consequently re-price reserves.
Hermes Infrastructure manages direct investments in the solar and wind energy sectors. It owns two portfolios of rooftop solar panels that together generate about 35 megawatts, with approximately half of this electricity for domestic use and the remainder channelled to the National Grid. The assets were acquired to provide stable cash yields that are directly linked to UK inflation with limited volatility. The team also invests in two wind farms – a majority stake in Fallago Rig in the Scottish Borders and a 50% interest in the Braes of Doune near Stirling – that also seek to generate inflation-linked returns and offset about 190,000 tonnes and 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year respectfully. None of these renewable-energy investments involve third-party leverage.
Energy use in a climate-controlled future
Scenario analysis by the HSBC Climate Strategy Group models not only the impact of countries fulfilling the Paris Agreement, but also the continual reduction of the cost of clean energy sources – renewables, electric vehicles and battery storage – and how industrial and transport fuel consumption would change as a result (see figures 3 and 4).
Figure 3. Forecast industrial fuel consumption under a successful Paris Agreement
Source: HSBC Climate Strategy Group
Figure 4. Transport fuel consumption under a successful Paris Agreement
Source: HSBC Climate Strategy Group
As shown, coal would continue to be a major fuel for industry. But in the transport sector, oil and oil products would be the dominant source before declining steadily from 2030 as gas, renewables and hydrogen are used more broadly. Such changes would be gradual. However, the real energy revolution needed to stay within the 2ºC limit would be in the generation of baseload power (see figure 5).
Figure 5. Power generation under a successful Paris Agreement
Source: HSBC Climate Strategy Group
In this scenario, coal would almost be completely removed from the energy mix by 2050 as nuclear, solar and wind gradually consume its substantial share. Carbon intensity, the amount of carbon emitted per unit of energy consumed, would halve by 2030 and fall to almost zero 20 years later.
Managing stranding risk
As long-term investors, such insights into water risk and potential changes in global energy supply in coming decades helps guide our investment strategies. We are aware of the investment threats and opportunities, across public and private markets, emerging from businesses' approaches to water management. We consider the impact of low oil prices in our valuations of producers – particularly those facing higher operational expenses – and seek opportunities among clean energy providers that are innovating to lower costs.

September is National Preparedness Month.
The Niagara County Department of Health Emergency Preparedness Division encourages community members to remember their pets and service animals when planning for emergencies. In every major fire, flood weather or other disaster in the U.S., officials are tasked with managing animals that are lost, abandoned, injured or diseased. This is a public health concern, as loose animals create additional risks of injury and disease to the people in affected communities.
The Department of Homeland Security requires localities to demonstrate animal management capabilities in disasters. The Health Department and Niagara County residents can work together to make our communities more resilient by building animal management capabilities before a disaster strikes.
The Niagara County Department of Health Emergency Preparedness Division recommends people take action to assure their companion and service animals have adequate arrangements for their health and safety during emergencies:
•Assure pets are vaccinated for rabies. Go to www.niagaracounty.com/Portals/4/Docs/rabiesschedule.pdf.
•Have a plan and a buddy system to assure someone else can care for an animal if the owner cannot
•Prepare a supply kit. Go to http://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/pets_brochure.pdf.
To fulfill Homeland Security grant planning and training requirements for building local animal emergency response capabilities, the division has planned two events:
•On Sept. 16, the division will conduct animal first aid training for the Niagara County Animal Response Team and the Niagara County Medical Reserve Corps. Participants will learn about disaster response for animals, how to perform injury assessments and how to administer first aid.
•On Sept. 26, the division will operate an emergency animal micro-chipping clinic exercise from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Niagara Pet Food Pantry, located at 8600 Buffalo Ave., in Niagara Falls. This microchip clinic is free to low income families. Dr. Kristen Ruest has volunteered to insert the microchips. The microchip process includes a photo ID and a lifetime enrollment into the National Animal Recovery Database.
Pet owners who wish to attend the microchip clinic must pre-register for appointments by calling 716-439-7439 or 716-439-7431. All cats and dogs must be restrained with leashes or carriers. Community members are welcome to visit the Niagara Pet Food Pantry on the day of the exercise to receive information or make pet food donations.
Pets should be up to date with rabies vaccinations prior to microchip clinic. Free vaccinations are available from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Niagara County rabies clinic on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Lockport Highway Garage.

Seriously disappointing that you didn't fetch Kore wa Zombie desu ka s2... Anyone knows who's got the license?
If CR doesn't have it, Funico definitely does.
I'm holding out hope that CR will also get it, but on a delayed basis (like the week delay on all the Kadokawa series in summer 2011). While I'll be able to watch at NicoNico.com, they often don't offer their series outside the U.S. and Canada, and even when they do, availability is typically more limited than Crunchyroll.

Where's my Dusk Maiden? Wheres my Zombie of the Dead? Natsuiro Kiseki? Hyouka? Okay congrats crucnhyroll for getting such a large lineup, it's just a shame the shows I want to watch don't happen to be part of it. (except Nyarko-san of course)
Hyouka is still over 2 weeks away, so even if CR has a license for it already, it is understandable they have not announced it.
Dusk Maiden is close, but not out of play yet. While CR typically doesn't announce on weekends, there are 3 anime cons this weekend (I thought there were only 2 until I read the news at Funimation's site), so they may have a number of announcements from one of those.
Natsuiro Kiseki has already aired, so even if CR gets it, it will be delayed.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead was always in question for CR, ever since NicoNico.com popped up on the scene, given Kadokawa's relationship with them, and Funimation having the license to the first series just compounded that. It seems clear at this point Funico has it. As mentioned in my other reply above, I'm still holding out hope CR will also have it, but just on a delay.
As I expected. This puts them at 29 simulcasts, which is one shy of the 30 simulcast minimum I expect, so there should be at least one more coming.
Yes, that's my real age
Yes! The first anime I was actually looking forward to! Good job, CR!
That happened. Say hello to a Type-Moon nerd in training now~
only title I wanted!!! THANK YOU!
thank you CR now we only need eureka 7 ao to ur spring line ups

There's a chance that CR could get stranded at 29 simulcasts - note that at the time the '30' hint was given BK could have been including Horizon and Papakiki in the lineup.
Thank you CR so much for Kids on the Slope! Now patiently waiting with my fingers crossed for the rest of the announcements.
I feel so much better now that CR got Sakamichi no Apollon. You have no idea. I was about to be upset.
Nothing for South America: Subcription dropped next month. Specially since Kids on the Slope was my most anticipated anime. I can easily wait for subs for another shows now.
At least the fansubs will translate it faster since CR is releasing it now.

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Centenarian jazz musician Lionel Ferbos has died at his home in New Orleans. He was 103.
Family friend Regina Dillings says the trumpeter died Saturday morning surrounded by friends and family.
Ferbos performed all over New Orleans and its suburbs for decades. His ability to read music made him an in-demand musician for gigs that took him to parks, schools, churches, dance halls and even prisons. He also performed at his 102nd birthday party and at every New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival until this past year.
Ferbos was believed to be the oldest working jazz musician who performed regularly until last year. His death Saturday came just days after his 103rd birthday on July 17.

Surgical Services
Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital has continually tailored its programs and services to meet the specific needs of the community. With expert surgeons and operating room staff, upgraded surgical suites and the most advanced technology including robotic surgery, Suburban is sure to meet and even exceed your needs for outpatient ambulatory surgery, outpatient minor surgery and inpatient surgery.
Pre-Admission Testing
Patients are scheduled for pre-admission testing approximately one week prior to surgery and receive a physical examination and any necessary tests like blood work, urinalysis, chest X-ray or an EKG. A complete medical history will also be taken at this time. The anesthesia department will then review test results to help determine the patient's state of health.
Below is a helpful checklist to ensure the pre-admission appointment is an effective and productive one for everyone involved.
- Write down questions or concerns when you think of them, and bring them in for discussion with the nurse practitioner.
- Bring your health insurance information.
Pre-admission Testing (PAT)
- Bring a list of current medications, including over-the-counter and herbal products.
- Review current medications with the nurse to learn which medications you should and should not take prior to surgery.
- If you are under age 18, a parent or legal guarding must accompany you.
- Be prepared to spend about 90 minutes for your pre-admission visit.
- Surgery times are subject to change. Please provide an alternate telephone number where you can be reached should your scheduled surgery time change.
Health Care Proxy or Living Will
A Health Care Proxy or Living Will is a statement that outlines the medical treatment you prefer - and the name of the person you trust to make health care decisions for you - if you can no longer speak for yourself. If you have one, please bring a copy with you. If you do not have one, you will receive a health proxy form during pre-admission testing or click here to complete one prior to your appointment. https://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/patients/health_care_proxy
Prior to Surgery
Food and Drink
Eat a normal evening meal the day before your surgery, unless directed otherwise, but DO NOT eat or drink anything after midnight – including gum or mints.
DO NOT smoke the evening prior to or the morning of your surgery. Smoking causes bronchial irritation and may increase the likelihood of breathing problems during and after anesthesia.
DO NOT drink alcohol for at least two days prior to surgery.
- Routine heart, breathing or blood pressure medications should be taken as prescribed with a small sip of water on the day of your surgery. Inform your nurse about the medications you have taken. Medications such as insulin and inhalers should be brought with you.
- Begin avoiding the use of aspirin or Motrin/ibuprofen products at least 10 days prior to surgery. If you take aspirin or Coumadin daily, you must talk to your physician before discontinuing the medication.
- Notify your physician if you are taking diet suppressant medication and follow the directions you are given.
Notify your surgeon immediately if you suspect you might be pregnant. Anesthesia and medications may be harmful to a developing fetus.
Changes in Your Health
Report any changes in your health to your surgeon, even minor changes such as a persistent cough, cold or fever.
It is normal to feel anxious before surgery. Keep in mind that our surgical teams are experts who have performed surgical procedures many times. Feel free to ask any questions, and take comfort in knowing that your safe, successful operation is our highest priority. We care about your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Personal Hygiene, Clothing & Valuables
- Bathe or shower the morning of surgery.
- Remove all make-up, nail polish, contact lenses and jewelry.
- DO NOT wear lotions hair sprays, hair gels, or perfume. Remove all body piercings.
- Wear loose-fitting, casual clothing and comfortable shoes.
- Leave valuables at home for safekeeping.
- A bag will be provided for personal items such as clothing, dentures or glasses.
Arrival at the Hospital
- Plan to arrive as instructed by the nurse the previous afternoon. Arrival times are scheduled generally 90 minutes prior to surgery.
- Bring your insurance card with you.
Anesthesia Care
Anesthesia is a medication that keeps patients comfortable during a procedure and is administered by a highly trained specialist, either an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist.
Types of anesthesia
- General Anesthesia: Patients are totally asleep and unaware of surroundings. It can be administered by an intravenous injection through a thin tube in the arm or inhaled as an anesthetic gas.
- Regional Anesthesia: Numbs certain areas of the body so that pain is not felt. Additional medications to relax the patient may also be given.
- Monitored Sedation: Keeps patients relaxed and comfortable. Patients may remain awake and aware throughout the surgery or may be drowsy or in a light sleep.
- Local Anesthesia: Affects only the area involved in the procedure. It may be used in combination with sedation.

The Operating Room
Surgery takes place in an operating room (OR) where a brightly lit, temperature-controlled and sterile environment provides the safest place for procedures. The OR team is led by an expert surgeon and includes nurses, surgical assistants and technologists, anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists.
What to Expect
- Nurses will transport you to the OR and help you transfer to an OR bed.
- The OR team will help you find a comfortable resting position. Please inform the OR nurses if you have back problems or difficulty lying on your back, so we can take special care in positioning you for your surgery.
- The OR temperature is kept low to keep equipment at optimal performance, ensure a sterile environment and for the comfort of the surgical team. You may have a warm blanket if you need it.
- A cuff will be placed on your arm to monitor blood pressure.
- Pads will be placed on your chest to monitor your heartbeat.
- A clip will be placed on your finger to measure the oxygen level in your blood.
- Family members are not allowed in the operating room for safety and sterility reasons.
The surgical waiting rooms offer loved ones a calm, comfortable environment in which to wait. Volunteers are in the waiting rooms and serve as liaisons between the medical team and family.
Pain Control
Pain may increase as the anesthesia wears off. All Kaleida Hospitals are committed to managing pain. Please communicate your pain level with your nurse, and don't hesitate to ask for pain medication to avoid discomfort that may delay your recovery.
Before You Can be Discharged
You must meet certain criteria before you can go home:
- Your blood pressure and pulse are stable.
- You are able to drink fluids.
- You are able to urinate independently.
- You are NOT experiencing any nausea or vomiting.
- Your incision is not draining or swollen.
- You are reasonably comfortable and do not have excessive pain.
- You are able to move around without too much assistance.
Care at Home
Be sure to follow the post-operative (after surgery) instructions you are provided. Surgery can be very stressful on the body, so rest is extremely important to recovery.
Below are some tips and helpful information:
- Eat lightly for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
- Feeling tired, dizzy or nauseous for a day or so following surgery is normal.
- You may experience some discomfort at the procedure site.
Contact Your Doctor if:
- You have a fever over 101° F.
- Your incision becomes more red, swollen or painful.
- Your incision bleeds a lot or opens.
- You feel too sleepy, dizzy or groggy. (Your medication may be too strong.)
- You still have pain one hour after taking pain medication.
- You have side effects from your medication such as nausea, vomiting, redness, rash or itching.

Sony Xperia Miro review
|Review: September 2012
Last updated April 2013
In a nutshell: The Sony Xperia Miro is an excellent entry-level smartphone.
Today's best buy: DURAGADGET Water Resistant B ... from Amazon (£16.49)
Compact & slimline design
Sony is busy launching Android phones left, right and centre in 2012, and we're busy liking them. The Miro is another one to like, and in fact it's one of the best entry-level smartphones we've reviewed.
The Miro is almost exactly the same size as the mid-range Xperia U, but it's a couple of millimetres thinner, making it very easy to handle. It's a smart-looking handset available in a range of colours, and with a new-style LED light located just above the XPERIA logo below the screen. The light flashes discreetly to notify you of messages, facebook updates and other events and can be customised to your preferences. You can even change the colour of the light.
The Miro is large enough for a 3.5 inch screen, which is the same size as rivals like the HTC Desire C and Samsung Galaxy Ace. The screen is a standard LCD display with a decent 320x480 resolution and benefiting from an anti-reflection coating.
Ice Cream Sandwich
The Miro runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which isn't quite the latest release, but isn't far off. An upgrade to 4.1 (Jelly Bean) is on the cards for later in 2012.
Like other Xperia phones, the Miro has been customised with Sony's Timescape app which integrates your communications into a single place, including facebook, twitter, email and texts.
Facebook is closely integrated into the user interface, so you can easily share photos and music with friends. The photo album app lets you share photos on facebook and see likes and comments directly from the app. Similarly the music player lets you share your music tastes and see what others like. The calendar app automatically displays birthdays and other events from facebook.
Photos & video
The Miro has a high quality 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a pulsed LED flash for extra brightness in low lighting. It can record video at VGA resolution and 30 frames per second.
A second VGA front-facing camera can be used for self-portraits or for video chatting.
The 3.5 inch screen isn't the biggest for watching videos or viewing photos, but it does the job.
Sony phones have always enjoyed a great reputation for music and the Miro is no exception. The music player app is fully featured and sound quality is good, with a manual equaliser available for fine tuning plus Sony's xLOUD feature, which does what its name suggests and pumps up the volume on your speakers!
TrackID can recognise a music track and identify the song and artist for you.
Sony's subscription service, Music Unlimited, gives you access to a large library of music which can be listened to offline.
Good connectivity
The Miro is a 3G phone with fast HSPA data capability. It also has Wi-Fi for even faster data access in a Wi-Fi zone, and it can function as a Wi-Fi hotspot itself, enabling other Wi-Fi devices to connect to the internet.
It also supports Bluetooth and USB connectivity. DLNA lets you stream images or video to a compatible TV. You can also use it to stream music wirelessly to a hifi. A 3.5mm audio jack lets you plug in a standard-fit headset.
The only thing missing is NFC, which doesn't yet feature on any phones at this price point.
Processing power
Remember that the Miro is an entry-level smartphone and you won't be disappointed by the less-than-sparkling 800MHz processor. It's enough to power a phone of this type, although it doesn't give the ultrafast responsiveness of an Xperia T for example.
Memory is generous, with 4GB of built-in storage, although only 2GB is available to the user. For additional storage you can add a 32GB microSD memory card and there's an additional 50GB of cloud storage available if you want it.
Strong battery life
All smartphones drain battery power at an alarming rate, but Sony understand this and have equipped the Miro with a big 1500mAh battery. It's the kind of battery that typically powers much higher-end smartphones, and that means that it's more than adequate for the Miro. You ought to be able to go for a couple of days between charges even if you're a moderate to heavy user.
Conclusion - an impressive low-cost smartphone
For an entry-level smartphone, the Xperia Miro does all we could ask of it and more. It's a better phone that the similarly-priced Tipo. The 3.5 inch screen is as big as most rivals, and offers a crisp display while keeping the phone compact, slim and lightweight. The 5 megapixel camera is excellent, and while it lacks HD video recording, it does offer a secondary VGA camera for video chat. The Ice Cream Sandwich operating system works well, and we like Sony's tweaks to the user interface, especially the close facebook integration. The onboard memory is generous, and the cloud storage is a welcome bonus. Connectivity is excellent, and the battery life is a particular strength of the phone. If there's one thing that feels a bit mediocre, it's the rather lacklustre 800MHz processor, and for that reason you may prefer the Sony Xperia U or the HTC Desire X.
Sony Xperia Miro features include:
- Operating system: Google Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
- 5 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, autofocus, pulsed LED flash, VGA video recording
- VGA front-facing video camera with video calling

Both me and my wife have got Miros and we thought they were great ... until last month... both the phones are under a year old and an ugly issue has raised its head
Mine started boot cycling after making a call (everytime) and then deleting texts and call logs and randomly changing the ringtone which is really annoying and the wifes started to do EXACTLY the same..... updates causing software issues??? spoke to sony and they claim taht they arent aware of that fault yet EVERY forum ive looked at are report the same issue...
its a shame as it was a brilliant phone and the wife was impressed with the camera
im loathed to change the phones but it looks like i may have to which is a shame

Bought in May 2013 and performed well until recently when the phone memory (RAM) became full. Since then have moved any apps I can to internal storage, and have also disabled some. Device has now begun to restart itself on an hourly basis! Also I can't update contacts any more. A good little phone for its time, but times move on...

This phone is atrocious. I got it in March 2014, and it worked great for about 5 months. After that, it ran out of storage, apps would be slow to load, and nearly every call would make the phone crash if it lasted longer than 2 minuets. I wont buy a phone this cheap again, as it has caused nothing but problems. It has now gotten so bad that i took out the sim card and SD card, and my phone is now in pieces at the bottom of a wall. I now have a £10 phone from Tesco until my contract ends. This Tesco phone works better than my Miro ever did.

Bought this cell last year in 2013, its only 1 year now but only after using six months this cell became a useless box. It takes 1 or 2 mintues to load contacts. After clicking on call it wont call. But after 5 mintues it will call. Heating problem, Lags everytime while browsing or playing mid range games. Rubbish product from Sony. Will never buy Sony mobiles ever.

I've had this phone for a while, it was good for the first few months, but then it slowly went downhill. The Google search would constantly crash, and the only way to fix it was to open an app and then reopen the search bar.
It doesn't show my contacts, except for 4? I've tried saving contacts in both options (it definitely did save), yet when i view my contact list they don't come up.
In more recent months, my phone constantly tells me my storage space it low, yet my SD card is less than half full, and there's plenty on space on the phone itself. It doesn't let me download apps anymore.
Also, a problem with downloading files (before the warning for storage)It will download the file entirely, but won't open it and makes it useless. This used to work before so I don't know what changed.

I all depends what you want from your mobile, be it an uber-expensive fashion item or simply an economical but useful product. Admittedly I'm not a heavy user but I bought mine 2nd hand for £40, stuck in a £15 Ovivo sim and now laugh at my mates with their huge bills and long contracts on phones already considered out of date ... £0 a month is the kind of deal I like best.
The Miro might not be the fastest or flashiest - but it's no slouch either, internet works fine as does the Wifi and Bluetooth that modern living demands today ... If you really must have a 5c why are you reading this anyway?

To say that I 'loathe' this phone is an understatement. It constantly reboots itself even during mid converstion, it freezes / hangs which means you cannot end the call you just have to wait for it to recover, which takes a couple of minutes all of which is irrating for me and equally irrating for the person on the other end. I've had this phone since April 2013 but unfortunately I have to wait another year until I can upgrade. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, its totally unreliable. My last mobile was a Sony Ericcson V630i I had it for 7 years, never had a problem with it. Sony, I wouldnt give this phone any stars however 1 is the lowest on the rating list.

This phone is a masterpiece of junk, I wish I never bought it. It freezes and crashes several times a day. I understand it's entry level, so it can't cope with more than 1 app running (or installed, I'd say), but it's even slow at texting and an absolute nightmare for calls: it doesn't call and when it does it ends the call unexpectedly. It changes the ringtones for no reason and changes volume settings, hence I miss calls because I simply don't hear them. In one year I have managed to pick up only a dozen calls, unless I was holding it in my hand and looking at the screen.
And sometimes it just stops using data and you have to reboot it (and it takes several minutes...).
It's not even good as a paperweight!

have had the Miro for about 4-5 months and totally regret buying it. The only good thing is the strong battery life. If you want a phone for calling and texting this is for you. If you want to use it for anything more I'd look elsewhere. The main problem is the not being able to move any apps on to the Micro SD card. This limits what I do constantly and something as standard as Facebook cannot be updated as there is no space. The camera is very poor and slow. Apps constantly crash and freeze. The only way to fix this is to turn the phone off for a few minutes and try again. Avoid the Miro. I am just trying to decide what I am going to replace it with now and then it's gone.

Durotar Leveling Guide 1-12
Basic Rules and Addons taken from Jame's Guide.
Basic rules
- Spend your talent points so that you kill things as fast as possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, etc.
- Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide unless I say otherwise. Only group with someone when it's not gonna be a waste of time (e.g: meeting the person at the other end of the zone to show him the way to where your quest is, that is a waste of time)
- Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.
- When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.
Useful Addons
To get the most out of my guide, you should get an addon which displays coordinates, because I use them to describe locations in my guide (x,y). You can use any addon you like, but here's a very simple one I use.
- DMiniCoords - A simple box which displays coordinates, left-click it to move it where you like.
- LightHeaded - I absolutely love this addon. It gives you the quest comments from WoWHead and you can see what other people had to say about the quest, it also gives you clickable co-ordinates.
- TomTom - Puts a Waypoint arrow on your screen when you click the co-ordinates on LightHeaded, also marks them on your map.
Below is a list of other addons I use, this is 100% optional though, it's mostly for people who are curious to know which addons I use:
- Bartender4 - A great action bar addon.
- X-Perl UnitFrames - Very nice, highly customizable unit frames.
- SexyMap - Really nice Mini-Map addon.
- MikScrollingBattleText - I prefer this over the original scrolling text.
Side Note: In case you don't know how to install add-ons, simply download an addon from one of the links above and unzip it. Then drag the unziped folder in your Addon folder (full path is c:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\Interface\\Addons). Then, restart World of Warcraft and it should be working.
If it isn't working, you might need to log out to your character selection screen and click on "Addons" in the lower-left corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Re-launch WoW.

4. When you are atleast halfway done with those quests go to the main island. Kill Voodo Trolls and Hexed Trolls (Watch out, these guys heal to full health, try to interrupt it) while going to the main encampment of trolls (The one with Zalazane in it.) Go to the back of the hill on the east and make sure that Zalazane isn't near and loot Minshina's Skull from an Imprisoned Darkspear for Minshina's Skull.

5. Go back to the goblin and turn in the quest, get it's followup Securing The Lines.
==NOTE== Now there may be a grind depending on how lucky you were with drops. Make sure that you are atleast 625 XP points from level 10 before continuing on with the guide.
6. Go to Razor Hill and turn in Encroachment.
==NOTE== Congratulations on level 10 and your first Talent Point. Spend it wisely. Now you should get training and I recommend that you do your class quest, for a good chunk of XP points and a nice Green Item. Or, you can continue with the guide and do the class quest later on.
1. Go west from the Goblin Rezlak to Rhinag at (40,16) and pick up Need for a Cure.
==NOTE== This quest is on a timer for 45 minutes, though it shouldn't take you that long.
2. Go into Orgrimmar and go to Thrall in the Valley of Wisdom. Turn in The Admiral's Orders and get the quest Hidden Enemies.
3. Go to the Cleft of Shadow and talk to Khorgan pick up his quest Finding the Antidote
4. Now go back to Rhinag and kill Venomtail Scorpids for their Venomtail Scorpid Sac's. Once you have 4 go back to Khorgan and turn in the quest for the Venomtail Antidote.
5. Go back to Rhinag and turn in Need for a Cure.
1. Go back to the Drygulch Ravine and go to the end where you should see a cave. Go through the cave and kill Dustwind Savages and Storm Witches untill you finish Securing the Lines
2. Head back to Rezlak and turn it in.
3. Make your way to the River west of Durotar and kill Dreadmaw Crocolisks untill one drops Kron's Amulet.
4. Head into Thunder Ridge and go to (42,26) and kill Fizzle Darkstorm. He might be fairly tough to kill as he casts alot of shadowbolts and has an imp that casts firebolts, but try really hard to kill him as this quest has a lot of follow ups. Use Minshina's Skull to help you kill him if he can't do it. (Consider that as a last resort as we may need it further down the road.)
5. Go back to the hut at (43,30) and turn in Lost But Not Forgotten.
6. Turn in Dark Storms at Razor Hill and get the followup.
1. Go to Margoz at (56,20), turn in the quest and get the follow up: Skull Rock.
2. Go directly north to a cave. Kill Burning Blade NPC's untill you finish Skull Rock and Hidden Enemies.
3. Find Gazz'uz and try to kill him. =TIP= Burn everything you've got on him, and try to kill him as fast as possible, use Minshina's Skull, and be sure to loot him for the Eye of Burning Shadow. Right-click it to start Burning Shadows. If you can't kill him just move on.
4. Go back to Margoz, turn in Skull Rock and accept the followup Neeru Fireblade.
1. Go to Thrall and turn in Hidden Enemies, get the same-name followup.
2. Go to The Cleft of Shadow and find Neeru Fireblade outside the entrance to Ragefire Chasm.
3. Turn in Burning Shadows and Neeru Fireblade there is no need to get the followup. Keep on talking to him to complete Hidden Enemies.
4. Go back to Thrall and turn in Hidden Enemies. (You may consider taking the followup if you want to run Ragefire Chasm, if not, do not take it.)
You should be Level 12 by now.
Optional - Instance: Ragefire Chasm
Now you can start looking for a group for the Ragefire Chasm instance.
You already have the quest Hidden Enemies and you can pick up Slaying the Beast from Neeru Fireblade outside of the instance.
This instance gives alot of XP points if you need them, and it may drop some nice Blue Items you may find of use.
Now you have a choice, you can either go back to Razor Hill and pick up Conscript of the Horde. Then follow Hosho's Guide to the Barrens to Level 20, then follow Jame's Guide all the way to 80.
You can follow Snowflake's Guide to Ghostlands. (I would personally recommend this as Ghostlands is much faster to level in than the Barrens.)

the quest Zalazane
Submitted by STrek on Sat, 2010-10-23 16:32.
Just did this guide with the addon and only have 1 remark.
Seems the quest Zalazane has been removed and replaced by Cleanup on Isle E.
It is on the same location how ever so nothing else has to chance to the guide. But instead of killing someone, you have to get 8 masks on that same island.
On wowhead there is mentioned that this is temperately.

Yup, this whole section's been re-written in Cataclysm, so the change is very temporary. Just played through that section last night, actually, on live.

"2. Go into Orgrimmar and go to Thrall in the Valley of Wisdom. Turn in The Admiral's Orders and get the quest Hidden Enemies."
You turn in 'The Admiral's Orders' to Vol'jin and get 'Hidden Enemies' from Thrall.

Warning to mages
Submitted by Hendo72 on Tue, 2010-05-25 02:58.
If you have rolled a mage and are using this guide, your trainer is located in Sen'jin and not in Razor Hill like the other classes.
You will want to make sure that you are level 6 BEFORE you leave Sen'jin for Razor Hill.
At lv 8, there will be no problem training. The guide takes you right through Sen'jin at this point.
At lv 10, wait until the guide takes you into Ogrimmar to do your training. You won't have to do any fighting until you leave Ogri anyway. You can afford to wait for now.

Very silly guide...
Submitted by Newtimer on Wed, 2010-03-31 13:07.
The "Durotar Leveling Guide 1-12" fails big time. Sending people to Tiragarde keep at level 6 is just plain silly. Killing a level 8 with a friend (after having to kill a level 9), at level 6, is stupid for several classes. I know several classes will have an easy time with this, but for many it is ridiculously hard and takes way too much time to be efficient. There are much much better (faster) ways to level than what is shown in the guide.
I finally got my hunter to make the quest, but it was very difficult. Yea, hunters may be the worst class to do it with (weak melee, no cc, no healing), but still...
The reason I even post this is that the guide looks fine in other parts. Perhaps fix it, or add a note that states that the guide is not good for all classes?
I'm expecting comments about that I'm a noob and should learn to play, etc, etc. I'm an experienced play who have leveled troll/orc several times, so I don't think that is the problem. I'm just saying the guide fails big time for certain classes and I think that is bad.
I know this has been a
Submitted by Jiyambi on Wed, 2010-03-31 13:34.
I know this has been a complaint for this guide in the past as well. It's been quite a while since I've leveled through Durotar, with or without this guide, but honestly I remember pretty much every area there being pure torture. Not just Tiragarde keep - the Zalazane quest was bad too. And don't even freaking get me started on "Dark Storms" - I wanted to pull my hair out, probably died three times before completing it.
Hopefully Cataclysm will improve this area. If not, this guide will definitely need to be revamped, but I wouldn't push it until we see what happens in the expansion.

Nice guide
Submitted by Humba on Thu, 2009-06-04 19:37.
Hey, nice guide ^^
I dinged level 10 at 2 h 42 minutes played with my troll hunter, not bad I guess because hunters without pets aren't really good at leveling, I had to melee a lot which hunters fail at, epically. On my human it took me 2h 25 minutes, 17 minutes difference.
It seems like humans have the fastest 1-10 leveling spots
Paladins are way faster than hunters at lvl 1-10
I didnt log out once when lvling the hunter, I did with my pala which gave me 15% rested bonus.
Well, I can get my pet now which will make lvling way faster for me
i love hunters but.....

as much as i love hunters i love rogues hunters are awsome but i would go with rogues or pallys pallys are cool i would prefer rogue tho

I'm sorry, but I can only give you three stars. Because sending level 6 clothies to wipe in Tiragarde Keep is cruel. I think I died five-six times with my mage there.
Tiragarde is certainly
Submitted by Unbreakable on Fri, 2009-04-10 22:04.
Tiragarde is certainly doable at level 6. But I recall dieing there several times when i just started the game. It's just a case of experience, once you've leveled 3+ character through the same zone, you know which quests are more dangerous than the others, and you know you have to be careful.
Also whenever you have to clear a small area packed with mobs, try to pull one at a time, and run back with him a little, this prevent the mob from pulling even more mobs if he runs away at low health.
Submitted by forgedcommand on Tue, 2009-05-19 09:45.
Well yeah.... I'm leveling a troll priest and I CANNOT do this quest..... maybe things have changed recently, but its impossible to cast when they bash you and you cant cast for 3 more seconds....a priest cant melee them both down... fuck.
It's doable. Use powerword
Submitted by Jame on Tue, 2009-05-19 12:13.
It's doable. Use powerword shield and melee them down. Sure it will take a while but it will get the job done
If needed you can also lesser heal yourself, they'll bash the first one but 3 seconds later you can cast again and they can't bash that one.
But most importantly, at level 5, buy a Lesser Magic Wand at the AH. Will make your life so much easier as a priest.

It means if you aren't level 8 then don't get spells, and it's ok not to be level 8 because you will come back to Razor Hill in a few steps, which means you will be 8 then and can train your skills.

The Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen has awarded a $75,000 grant to the Methodist Healthcare Foundation for their program Navigating Underserved Women to Better Breast Health. This program provides outreach and education to women, as well as access to breast health services, including screening mammography, diagnostic mammography, ultrasounds, and treatment regardless of patient financial constraints.
"We are so pleased to be able to carry on the lifesaving work that this grant allows us to do," said Paula Jacobson, president of the Methodist Foundation. "This grant helps us build on the work we began with a previous grant from Komen to fund breast screening and diagnostic testing for underserved women in Memphis. This project is critically important in a city like Memphis, where a recent study shows that African American women are twice as likely to die from breast cancer than white women. Our work in Phase I and II of Komen funding shows that, via our Congregational Health Network and the work of our women's health navigator, Carole Dickens, we have been able to penetrate the zip codes where most African-American women are dying unnecessarily of breast cancer; this should ultimately turn the needle on disparity in those deaths."
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world's largest breast cancer organization, and the Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate is one of 119 Affiliates on the front lines dedicated to ending breast cancer in their communities. Komen Affiliates fund innovative programs that help women and men overcome the cultural, social, educational and financial barriers to breast cancer screening and treatment.
"With Memphis being one of the most impoverished metropolitan cities in the nation and women the most likely to be living in poverty, there is a great need to bridge the healthcare gap as it relates to breast health options locally," explains Elaine Hare, Executive Director of the Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen. "The grant recipients selected this year will provide breast health services for thousands of women in our 21 county service area. We are only able to do this great work because of the funds we raise due to the tremendous community support we receive each year at the Race for the Cure."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Frank Yallop of the San Jose Earthquakes has been honored as Major League Soccer's coach of the year, and the Seattle Sounders' Eddie Johnson is comeback player of the year.
After the Earthquakes finished with the 14th-best record out of 18 teams in 2011, they went 19-6-9 this season to lead MLS. Yallop easily won over fellow finalists Ben Olsen of D.C United and Peter Vermes of Sporting Kansas City in voting by media, MLS players and club management.
After struggling to find consistency for three years playing in Europe, Johnson returned to MLS this season and scored 14 goals in 28 games. The forward also won comeback player of the year honors in 2007.
Johnson narrowly beat out D.C. United midfielder Chris Pontius. Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon was the other finalist.

10th Annual Sioux Falls Skyforce Military Night Sold Out
More than just basketball is offered with the Sioux Falls Skyforce at the Sanford Pentagon. The Friday night game marks the 10th year of honoring and recognizing those who have served in the Armed Services with Military Night. All available tickets have been sold for this game. Special accommodations will be made for members of the military and their families.
President/Owner of the Sioux Falls Skyforce Mike Heineman says this is a way that the organization can give back. "It's a special night for us. We invite military members to come out to the game for free. It's anybody who is retired, reserve, active, and any family members who may have soldiers overseas. It's just our way of giving back a little bit for all the stuff they've done for us." Heineman also says no identification will be required for admittance. "We'll take their word for it."
Skyforce players will wear camouflage jerseys which can be won via sealed bid auction. Bidding for the jerseys will begin when the doors open at 6 p.m. and close at the end of the third quarter. Winners of the jerseys will be announced throughout the fourth quarter and all of the proceeds from the auction will benefit Operation Cares.
In March of 2003, the Sioux Falls Skyforce created a charity to benefit family members of soldiers who were sent overseas for service. Operation Cares was launched with the help of over 20 Sioux Falls businesses. This effort has been very successful as it has raised over $150,000. All proceeds have gone to help military families with everyday needs such as car repairs, groceries and home repairs.
Along with the auction, the Skyforce will also host an enlistment ceremony at halftime. Over 100 young men and women who have signed up for the Air Force, Army and Marines will take part in a ceremony that will enlist them into one of the aforementioned organizations.
The opponent for tonight's game are the Delaware 87ers, an expansion franchise that is owned and operated by the Philadelphia 76ers. In their first season, the Sevens have a 3-18 record dropping their last 8 games as they become acclimated to the NBADL. Sioux Falls is 12-7 putting them third best in the league. The Skyforce snapped a 4-game losing streak at Tulsa last Saturday night.

Phils rely on Hamels in finale vs. Royals
Cole Hamels tries to put a shaky season debut behind him on Sunday when the Philadelphia Phillies close out a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals at Citizens Bank Park.
Hamels was roughed up by the Atlanta Braves in his Opening Day start on Monday, as he allowed five runs and seven hits - three home runs - in only five innings to take the loss.
"You have to be able to establish the fastball down in the zone, and I wasn't able to do that as much as I'd like," Hamels said. "Most of the pitches that were hit out were fastballs up in the zone. I want to claim that's uncharacteristic, but there are times when you have to be able to make the adjustment and I wasn't able to make the adjustment fast enough."
This will be his first-ever start against Kansas City, which will hand the ball to righty James Shields.
Shields was impressive in his Royals' debut on Monday, but was outdueled by Chicago's Chris Sale in a 1-0 loss. Shields, though, made one mistake to White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, whose solo home run accounted for the only scoring in the game.
"Oh, man, dynamic pitching on both sides all day," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Sale was phenomenal, James Shields was phenomenal. The difference in the game was one high changeup. That was it."
Shields has faced the Phillies twice and is 1-0 with a 6.55 ERA against them.
Philadelphia stunned Kansas City on Saturday, as pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen's three-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Phillies past the Royals, 4-3.
Holding a 3-1 lead, Kansas City sent Greg Holland (0-1) to the mound to close out the game. Instead, the right-hander walked the first three batters he faced -- Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Michael Young. He briefly rebounded by striking out Domonic Brown and John Mayberry.
However, Frandsen then came off the bench and drilled a fastball to right- center field, clearing the bases for the come-from-behind victory.
"You can't walk the bases loaded. At some point, you've got to command the strike zone," Holland said.
Ben Revere had an RBI for the Phillies, who had just three hits. John Lannan lasted seven innings in his Philadelphia debut, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five. Antonio Bastardo (1-0) tossed a scoreless ninth to pick up the win.
"You don't want to start 0-2 at home, especially in front of these fans with the energy they bring," Frandsen said.
Miguel Tejada knocked in two runs for the Royals, who won 13-4 in the opener on Friday. Elliot Johnson added an RBI.
Kansas City last visited Citizens Bank Park back in 2004 when the Phils took two of three.
