The 10 Budweiser Clydesdales that rolled into Marion County this week travel first class wherever they go.
The 10 Budweiser Clydesdales that rolled into Marion County this week travel first class wherever they go. The team is split between two full-sized tractor trailers that feature air conditioning, air-suspension ride and rubber floors for comfort. Cameras allow the handlers to monitor the horses while traveling.
"I love it. It is so much fun to see the reaction from people. Everybody knows about the Budweiser Clydesdales," said Kat Metzger, one of six handlers that travel with the team.
Metzger, who is not much taller than 5 feet, has no problem handling the massive horses, which must measure a minimum of 6 feet at the shoulder and weigh 2,000 pounds to be part of the team.
"They are really gentle. The ones that have more spunk are used for commercial purposes," Metzger said.
The team is making several appearances in the area, including two stops at the Live Oak International event at Live Oak Plantation west of Ocala today and Saturday. On Friday, they will be at Brownwood Square in The Villages. On Sunday, the team will make a home delivery of beer to a contest winner in The Villages.
Then, it's back on the road again. The team is on the road about 300 days of the year.
"It's a lot of traveling, but it's worth it. You get to meet some pretty cool people. It doesn't get better than this. You get to work with some of the best known horses in the world," Metzger said.
A typical week involves a day or two of travel and one day of preparation before appearances.
A total of three tractor-trailers carry the horses and the large wagon they pull. The six horse handlers are commercially-licensed and drive the rigs.
Preparation day entails thorough washing, clipping and brushing the huge equines to keep their appearance impeccable.
The team in Marion County this week is one of three that covers specific areas of the United States. Metzger's team is considered the midwest region team and is based in St. Louis.
Most of the Clydesdales are bred by Budweiser on a farm in Missouri. They are then sent to Grant's Farm, a 281-acre estate where the Busch family once lived. The horses live there until they approach their fourth year, when they are sent to New Hampshire for training to go on the road.
Training is where the horses are separated into where they fit on the team. The eight-horse hitch has the biggest and strongest horses nearest the front wheel. Those horses do much of the pulling, Metzger said.
The four middle horses are the swing team, and follow the lead team.
"The lead horses have to be really sure footed and confident. If they spook easily, the others behind them will spook," Metzger said.
Beside size and performance, the horses also are judged on their looks. To qualify as a Budweiser hitch horse, the Clydesdales have to have the classic markings. All four feet must be white and have flowing hair. They have to be bay in body color, with black manes and tails, and must have a white blaze on their face. The teams do not include female horses.
Some of the horses that don't make the grade for one reason or another are sometimes sold to other Clydesdale enthusiasts.
Since the 1950s, a Dalmatian is always part of each team. Dalmatians were traditional carriage dogs. The Dalmatian featured on the hitch appearing locally is named Clyde and is about a year old.
The appearances often include a ceremonial beer delivery, much like the first time Budweiser used the hitch and wagon in 1933 to deliver ceremonial cases of beer in celebration of the repeal of Prohibition. The use of the hitch and wagon quickly became part of the company's marketing campaign.
It has been eight years since the Clydesdales have been in Marion County.
"It's very exciting. They are so majestic and we're so proud to be able to bring them to Ocala. They are just amazing creatures to watch," said Kristen Black of Tri-Eagles Sales, the area's Budweiser distributor.

The publication Thursday of 20 years worth of secret records kept by the Boy Scouts of America reveal a widespread effort by the organization to cover up a scandal involving allegations of sexual abuse against 1,200 scout leaders.
The records, known within the Boy Scouts itself as the "perversion files," cover the years 1965-1985 and detail the names of the alleged perpetrators, their hometowns and other information. The files were results of the organization's own internal investigations into sexual abuse among its leaders and include court documents, newspapers clippings in cases where charges were actually filed and other material.
Not every person whose name was contained within the thousands of pages – which the scouts officially called the "Ineligible Volunteer Files" – ever actually faced charges or was convicted. Some files only reflected concerns about someone.
But they span the nation, involving Boy Scout organizations and leaders from small towns to bustling cities. Their disclosure also again marks an embarrassing betrayal of public trust by another prominent and respected social institution.
Like the recent pedophilia scandals involving Penn State University and the Roman Catholic Church, the Boy Scout cases involve trusted members of the community who had access to children they were supposed to mentor and to protect, but who instead exploited that access to groom and to molest the most vulnerable of them.
Attorney Paul Mones, whose Oregon law firm was involved in the lawsuit against the Boy Scouts and which led to the files' disclosure, told a news conference on Thursday that they symbolize "the anguish of thousands of scouts." The Oregon Supreme Court ordered the release of the documents.
In a statement Thursday, Boy Scouts National President Wayne Perry apologized for the abuse and the failure to protect children.
"There have been instances where people misused their positions in scouting to abuse children, and in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong," the statement said. "Where those involved in scouting failed to protect, or worse, inflicted harm on children, we extend our deepest and sincere apologies to victims and their families."
Based in Irving, Texas, the century-old Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest volunteer organizations, with more than 100 million youth participants and 33 million adult scout leaders. Those few scouts, around 2 percent, who attain the highest rank of Eagle Scout comprise an elite group that includes members of Congress, governors, astronauts, professional athletes, business executives and film directors.
Trustworthiness is one of the 12 points of the Scout Law. But experts said that creates an opportunity for predators because few people would look for them in a respected, longstanding institution like the Boy Scouts.
"As a society, we've just got to somehow get over this notion that some men, some women, some institutions, are 100 percent pristine and trustworthy," said David Clohessy, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "We've got to look at actual behavior, not reputation."
In the Penn State case, former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky abused young boys he met through his youth charity. Sandusky, who was convicted in June on 45 counts of child sex abuse and sentenced this month to a minimum of 30 years in prison, also was a trusted figure in the community.
A report on the Penn State case from former FBI Director Louis Freeh found emails and other documents that showed university officials had multiple opportunities to stop Sandusky, but they instead concealed what they knew from the university and the public.
It took a three-year state grand jury investigation to bring Sandusky's activities, and the university's cover-up, to light.
Nearly 11,000 people accused U.S. Catholic priests of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, and the church has faced legal settlements of more than $2 billion. Some high-ranking church leaders were found to have reassigned abusive priests to parishes where they molested more children. And the church's legal and financial troubles are far from over, and recently, the scandal has spread to congregations in Europe.
Like these scandals and others, the Boy Scout files could produce criminal trials and years of litigation, as well as potentially millions of dollars in damages.
Jennifer Freyd, a psychology professor at the University of Oregon and an expert on institutional betrayal, said: "The dynamics that can cause institutions to turn a blind eye are powerful dynamics that will show up over and overEverybody can make a mistake. In the end, it's the cover-up that will do you in."
The names were listed in files concerning allegations of child sexual abuse in the Boy Scout system. In a number of the cases, the allegations were later substantiated by court proceedings. However, in a great many cases no such substantiation ever occurred.
More information on individual cases is available at the website of the Oregon law firm that pushed for their release.

Zero in on the smartest choice when it comes to two "healthy" options.
As you know, your food dollar doesn't stretch as far as it used to. As a result, you might find yourself increasingly hemming and hawing over which foods to toss into your grocery cart. But the most nutrition-packed choice isn't always obvious. Oats or granola? Almond butter or peanut butter? We're sending several similar edibles to the ring to crown the nutritional champs.
Canola oil vs. vegetable oil
The champ: canola oil
Vegetable oils are often made with low-grade soybean, corn, cottonseed and/or sunflower oils that contain high levels of omega-6 fats. A diet with too many omega-6s and too few omega-3s can promote internal inflammation, raising the risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease and potentially slowing exercise recovery. With fewer omega-6 fats and more omega-3 ones, canola oil is a better option for home cooking. If you want to steer clear of genetically modified canola, opt for organic brands.

Re: Flamers!
Posted: 15 Jun 2013, 06:04
Can you clearly analyze the game and distinguish between balance exploits, map-specific exploits and player blunders? Are you sure your opponent used flamers well enough? Unless you clearly see such things, unless you in first 5 or 10 minutes figure out what weapons the enemy will use and when the enemy is expected to attack, balance is not something you care about; skill level difference will just outweight lack of balance; it may be still fun, but not what we're discussing here.To me the fact that a game like this is possible shows that flamers are not too powerfull or I would have lost.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen will be adapting their Oscar-winning 1996 film "Fargo" into a television series for Fox's FX network, with actor Billy Bob Thornton in the lead role, the network said on Friday.
"Fargo," a black comedy of crime in a rural Midwestern town starring Frances McDormand and William H. Macy, is the inspiration for a 10-episode miniseries, FX said in a statement. The Coens will be executive producers.
Oscar-winning actor Thornton, 57, will play Lorne Malvo, a character described by FX as "a rootless, manipulative man who meets a small town insurance salesman and sets him on a path of destruction." New characters and a new case will be introduced in the dark comedy.
The show will be filmed in Canada, and the series is expected to premiere on the basic cable channel in spring 2014.
The 1996 film won Oscars in the best actress category, and best screenplay for the Coen brothers. The film was included in the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest American Movies list, and inducted into the U.S. National Film Registry in 2006.
FX's "Fargo" is the first major television project for the Coen brothers, who have made their name in the film industry with movies such as "The Big Lebowski," "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and 2007's Oscar-winning "No Country for Old Men."
"Fargo" is part of FX's initiative to produce more miniseries and limited series through its production brand. It will join the network's roster alongside upcoming series "Wayward Pines," from director M. Night Shyamalan, starring Matt Dillon.
FX Networks, a unit of 21st Century Fox, has become a home for critically acclaimed shows spanning drama and comedy, such as "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Sons of Anarchy" and Ryan Murphy's Emmy-nominated series "American Horror Story."

Coffee v. Kidney Stones
Scientists have confirmed an association between coffee and a reduced risk of kidney stones. Examining the effects of liquids on kidney stone development, they found varying impacts among different liquids. Integrating results from three large clinical trials, their analysis showed that some sodas and punch appeared to increase the risk, while coffee and wine reduced it.
The coffee effect appears to increase with consumption. Participants who drank one or more cups of coffee a day had a 26% lower risk of developing kidney stones, as compared with those who drank coffee less than once a week. The protection was incremental, with relative risk reduction increasing with consumption levels: 3% for those who consumed coffee once a week, 6% for those who drank two to four times a week, and 16% for five to six times a week.
The effect remained steady for decaffeinated coffee as well. Decaf drinkers who consumed one or more cups of coffee per day showed a 16% lower risk compared with those who drank it less than once a week. While risk levels were higher by 3% for those who drank decaf just once a week, reductions were significant for other consumption levels: 8% for two to four times a week, and 23% for five to six times a week. Although caffeine is known to reduce kidney stone risk, the decaf results suggest that there are independent sources within coffee that contribute to the risk reduction.
For comparison, red and white wine also appears to deliver significant protection, culminating with a 31% reduction in daily consumers for red wine and 33% for white. Beer and liquor also exhibited protection levels for daily consumption at 41% and 12%, respectively, although protection levels for less frequent consumption did not increase incrementally with levels. Sugar-sweetened colas and non-colas did not fare as well, with daily consumption yielding respective 23% and 33% risk increases. Artificially sweetened colas and non-colas did better, with a risk reduction in colas of 9% albeit only for daily consumption, and for non-colas risk changes ranging from a 2% reduction to a 17% increase, depending on frequency. The researchers point to the fructose in the sugared beverages as the possible cause of the increased risk levels.
The study was conducted by Drs. Pietro Manuel Ferraro, Eric N. Taylor, Giovanni Gambaro and Gary C. Curhan. Subjects totaled 194,095 followed over a period of time ranging from eight to 13 years. That puts the combined reach of the study, integrating subjects and time followed, at 2,643,708 person-years. The study was published on May 15 in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN).

NEW DELHI (AP) — Jagdish Sharan Verma, the former Indian chief justice who helped lead the charge for tough new laws to protect women in the wake of a gang rape of a woman on a New Delhi bus, has died. He was 80.
Verma died late Monday of multi-organ failure after a brief illness, said Dr. Yatin Mehta, an official at the Medanta Medicity hospital where he was being treated in a New Delhi suburb.
A lifelong crusader for justice and a firm believer in the integrity of judges, Verma was known as the conscience-keeper of the Indian judiciary.
After he retired as the country's chief justice in 1998, he refused to take any job in the private sector to avoid the appearance of impropriety. But the government repeatedly turned to him for help. He was the head of India's national panel on human rights and the first head of India's national broadcasting standards authority.
But his landmark service came earlier this year when he headed a government panel to examine the Indian criminal justice system's treatment of violence against women. The panel was formed following the fatal gang rape in the capital in December. The case sparked protests and demands for changes in the way India treats its women.
Verma's commission received more than 80,000 suggestions on how to change Indian law and completed a 630-page report in just a month.
It recommended stricter penalties for crimes against women, including death in extreme cases of rape. It also approved increasing the maximum seven-year sentence for rape to 20 years and imposing stiff punishments for crimes such as stalking, cyber stalking and voyeurism.
Many of the panel's recommendations swiftly became law.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh memorialized Verma not just for the "many path-breaking judgments he delivered as a judge, but also for his deep sensitivity to the concerns of the common man and his fierce commitment to the public good."
In a statement, Singh said Verma had been generous in giving him advice, which he will miss.

Going Battier
Can Michael Lewis' latest article make me a better pickup basketball player?
Shane Battier, the ex-Duke star turned Houston Rockets utility man, is not the kind of basketball player who inspires much passion among fans. He's not flashy, and he's not a scorer—he's averaged 10.1 points per game over his pro career. Yet last week Battier appeared in a heroic pose on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, the subject of Michael Lewis' latest inquiry into the world of sport. Lewis posits that Battier, far from being the marginally talented player you thought he was, is actually an unsung hero, a "no-stats all-star," making teams better every time he steps onto the court through preparation, selflessness, and a devotion to defense. Lewis holds up young Rockets GM Daryl Morey as a new breed of basketball exec—one who embraces hard data and finds undervalued players that traditional statistics don't identify. Players like Shane Battier.
Now, the idea of Michael Lewis writing about a sports exec who's found a new numbers-driven paradigm in player evaluation might sound familiar. (Deadspin immediately dubbed the piece "Moneyball: NBA Edition.") But for sports fans of marginal athletic ability, Lewis' writing about basketball is thrilling: finally, a sabermetric revolution that can improve my middle-aged suburban sporting life!
Reading Moneyballmight help you understand why the Red Sox finally won a World Series, but it won't help you in your company softball game. How are you supposed to draw a lot of walks when your league doesn't even have walks (or, for that matter, umpires)? And while Lewis' 2006 New York Times Magazine article about offensive lineman Michael Oher gave me newfound admiration for the left tackle—quietly the most important man on an NFL field—there's no such thing as a left tackle in flag football.
Yet reading Lewis' piece on the NBA, I realized with growing excitement that my game is exactly like Shane Battier's. Morey, Battier's own GM, describes Battier as "a marginal NBA athlete." Hey, I'm a marginal athlete. Morey notes that Battier can't create his own shot. I can't create my own shot! Morey says Battier "can't dribble, he's slow and hasn't got much body control." Check, check, and check!
Like Battier, I pride myself on doing the little, unflashy things that help my team win—the screens, the bounce passes, and the hard-nosed defense praised by sportswriters (and derided by playgrounders) as "fundamentally sound." Like Battier, I think of myself as being, well, smart (smart enough to read the New York Times Magazine, anyway). Finally, I have an NBA-approved model to base my game on!
Armed with real data and the Michael Lewis imprimatur, I took the court in my weekly pickup game in a church gym in Arlington, Va., with a new mantra: What Would Shane Battier Do? No longer did my Rec Specs-brand prescription goggles suggest unathletic gooniness ("When I saw those, I thought you might be able to shoot the 3, but I was wrong," a teenager once told me); now they simply meant that I could outthink my opponents, even if I couldn't outplay them.
Battier had given me the courage to play the way marginal athletes should always play basketball: hustling, focusing on defense, and rarely, if ever, shooting. I confidently volunteered to guard Jackson, the opposing team's best player, just as Shane Battier volunteers to guard Kobe Bryant in Lewis' article. I fought through screens to stick with my man, like Shane Battier. I attempted to strip Jackson as he brought the ball up from his waist, like Shane Battier. I tried to force Jackson into taking bad shots and got a hand right up in his face, just like Shane Battier. On offense, I didn't shoot much; I just tried to box out and collect as many cheap rebounds as I could.
And it worked—at least at first. On the opposing team's first possession, I forced Jackson to his left, kept him out of the lane, and got a hand in his face as he shot a jumper on the run. Clang! I tipped the rebound to one of our big men and grinned as the other guys on my team ran the break, scoring at the other end. Watching superior athletes score: That's what Shane Battier would do!
Not long into the game, however, I got really tired. I became too winded to hustle, and my once crisp passes turned lazy and inaccurate. One difference between myself and Shane Battier, it occurred to me, is that he is 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds, whereas I am 5-foot-9 and ... uh ... not quite 220 pounds. Playing like Shane Battier may not require finesse, but it does require stamina, and here may lie the limit of his influence on the pickup-playing, Times Magazine-reading people of America. It was slim consolation for my teammates—after Jackson hit, yes, a lefty runner to win the game—that in Lewis' article, Kobe drains a game-winning 3 over Battier. (Even low-percentage shots go in sometimes.)
Hopefully, Michael Lewis' inevitable best-selling book (Battierball?) will identify a few more skills I can work on in my effort to be a no-stat all-star. (Skills that don't involve running would be most welcome.) I suppose, in the meantime, I could hire a couple of grad students to haul video cameras into the church gym on Tuesday nights and chart my opponents' offensive tendencies, but it's possible that would be frowned upon by the dudes in my league. And to be honest, my Battier-inspired style of play was just a Duke-style floor-slap short of being supremely annoying to my opponents already. On the other hand, maybe you can't play Battierball and be loved: The anti-social Battier himself notes that pretty much nobody in the NBA likes him.
Lewis' article mentions a secret list Morey keeps of 15 undervalued NBA players—that is, 15 other Shane Battiers. Hopefully Battierball will identify some of those guys; I'd love to model my pickup game on a player I didn't derisively call "Shane Raisinhead" throughout his college years. Bruce Bowen? Andrew Bogut? Or perhaps I should cast my mind back in time, to the Shane Battiers of bygone days, players who never scored but who were essential pieces of all-time great NBA teams. Maybe I'll buy this sweet Kurt Rambis throwback. It'll look great with my Rec Specs.

Ping, The Next Emperor!
Lesson 5 of 5
Objective: SWBAT to use key details to analyze the main character, Ping, and apply their understanding of the character.
Big Idea: Why is Ping chosen as the next emperor? He displays numerous traits that make him perfect for the role of governing the kingdom.
Summary and Context
Today, we are finishing the second read of the Empty Pot, with text dependent questions that continue to ask the students about the craft of the author. Once we are done with this discussion, I will bring the students to the rug for Socratic Seminar. We will be discussing Ping and why he will make a great emperor.
Once we are done, we will create a bubble map of the qualities that make Ping a great emperor. Students will choose one trait and provide evidence in their writing supporting that particular trait. This helps students analyze the text deeply and use evidence to back up their analysis. One of the shifts with the CCSS is asking students to provide evidence from the text. I am giving practice with this skill in this lesson.
Then, students will share their learning with their peers and get feedback from them.
Lesson Opening:
I start with students on the rug, and share the student friendly objective: "I analyze and evaluate a character based on key details from the text."
Then, I ask the students to think about what we have read and share with each other an important event from the story. After they pair share, I have a few share out loud.
Finishing the Second Reading
I finish reading the last four pages of The Empty Pot using text dependent questions that ask to analyze Ping's behavior and how important it is that he appears in front of the Emperor with "the empty truth," even though his peers laugh at him. I continue to ask questions that invite the students to think about how the author uses the illustrations to give us details about how situation is changing for the main character.
•It matters That You Tried Your Best
We continue to look at vocabulary words. If there are not enough context clues to figure out the meaning of a word, then we will need to rely on a dictionary definition. I will provide more details to make sure my students clearly understand the vocabulary word.
Resources (4)
Socratic Seminar
This Socratic Seminar is all about whether Ping is worthy of being emperor or not. One question I ask is, "What is Ping like at the beginning of the story, in the middle, and at the end?" I want them to pay attention to the idea that Ping maintains a steadfast behavior. He is a reliable character. I want them to understand the concept of worthiness. This will be a key part of the opinion writing task in the next section.
The next question I ask is, "Why Does The Emperor Choose Ping?" I write the question on the easel to help them keep the question in mind.
Before diving into the discussion, I review the rules of participation and how they will need take turns sharing and listening to one another. They can reference the Handing-Off Chart in case they need to be reminded of how to enter the discussion.
I have included a document that gives more details about how I implement Socratic Seminar in my classroom in case you'd like to read further.
Resources (5)
Independent Writing
To help students integrate what they are learning, students will now write about Ping. Students will choose one of Ping's traits that would make him a good emperor and then find evidence in the story to support it. Students have had experience with opinion writing in previous writing lessons, so we don't spend too much time on the nuts and bolts of opinion writing.
Rather, to get them started, we spend time brainstorming on the whiteboard Ping's qualities. This visual helps them to focus on the task and get ready to apply their understanding.
As they write, I walk around and monitor their progress and offer help as needed. Some will need help with direction as to where they can find the evidence. Others will need support with starting and staying on task.
Here are examples of their writings:
Resources (7)
Whole Group Sharing
Now students sit on the carpet and a few of them share their work. After each person shares, he or she gets feedback from peers. The way in which my class gives feedback is by giving two stars and a wish:
- Two stars: Two different students give a specific example of what they liked in the writing.
- A Wish: One student gives a specific way in which the writer can improve their writing or their performance.
This time also allows me to bring closure to the lesson.
Here are the speakers for the lesson:

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Researchers have found records that Abraham Lincoln signed detailing his travel and expenses during his time as a member of Congress.
The Springfield-based Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum said Thursday that David Gerleman found the documents at the National Archives in Washington. Gerleman is assistant editor of the Papers of Abraham Lincoln Project.
He found the paperwork in several battered volumes. They contained Lincoln's official signed pay and mileage accounts with check numbers, date of issue, amounts and miles traveled.
One entry shows Lincoln collected about $2,000 in salary for January through August of 1848. He received an additional $1,300 for travel.

About Robotics
What is Robotic Surgery?
What is Robotic Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery (also known as MIS, laparoscopic, or endoscopic surgery) allows physicians to perform many types of surgical procedures through 1-2 cm incisions. For most patients, a minimally invasive approach offers substantially less pain, less blood loss and a much shorter recovery. Other advantages include reduced need for blood transfusions, minimal scarring, less risk of infection, shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.
MIS Benefit Summary
Shorter hospital stay
Less pain and scarring
Less risk of infection
Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
Faster recovery
Quicker return to normal activities
Shorter hospital stay
Less pain and scarring
Less risk of infection
Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
Faster recovery
Quicker return to normal activities
Despite the widespread use of minimally invasive or laparoscopic technology in today's hospitals, adoption of laparoscopic techniques, for the most part, has been limited to routine procedures. This is due mostly to the limited capabilities of older instruments as well as traditional video technology surgeons must rely on to operate through small incisions.
Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
By dramatically enhancing visualization, precision, control and dexterity, the da Vinci® System overcomes the limitations of traditional laparoscopic technology, helping physicians to perform complex surgery in a manner never before experienced. With enhanced surgical capabilities, physicians are now able to extend the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to the broadest possible range of patients.
Enabling Technology
The da Vinci Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient-side cart with four interactive robotic arms, a high-performance vision system and proprietary EndoWrist® Instruments. Powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology, the surgeon's hand movements are scaled, filtered and seamlessly translated into precise movements of the EndoWrist Instruments.
The System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. The da Vinci System requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.
The da Vinci Surgical System has been successfully used in tens of thousands of minimally invasive procedures worldwide.
Patient-Driven Demand
Intuitive Surgical's advances in minimally invasive surgery have received continual support not only from the medical community, but also from patients and their families. The patient benefits of MIS — including faster recovery time, less blood loss and less scaring — have helped drive demand for robotic procedures.

RE: The Depression/Anxiety Thread
Wall of text coming, skip this post if you hate this:
I would like to share a bit more about one of the things I learnt at the clinic back than. The one and only thing at the clinic that actually did help me.
They simply called it "ressources".
I am going to explain the concept and how it is supposed to work.
You start this once you know your problems and can identify the triggers that make you feel bad. And you also need to know what you would normally do in this case > the bad habit. Then you think about what you could do better, what would be positive
and helpful in this moment.
And these things have to be things that you can for real carry around with you, so anytime you could pull it out your pocket to help yourself.
As I mentioned it is supposed to be like a first aid kit against depression.
I am giving extreme examples, because it is easier to learn frome extremes:
Let's say that normally you would do something, that negatively impacts your health, everytime you feel bad. (So not anxiety, not rage, no such things) You are not far enough to completely stop it but you would like to scale down. Extreme examples would be people who start eating sweets when they feel bad, people who cut themselves, people who exhaust themselves with physical activity. Right? These are pretty common, that's why I focus on these three for now.
The psychologist told us to try and, as I said, scale it down a notch. If you would normally eat chocolate bars, try to shift over to bananas as a first step. If you would normally cut yourself, flip yourself with a rubberband instead. If you normally exhaust yourself physically like running, walk instead.
So in the beginning it is difficult because this used to be your short term solution for the depression, but ultimately it would push you deeper because apart from the real problem you know that, what you are doing, is not good for you. So for the moment you are stopping the downwards spiral.
For me, as I lost my job because of my problems, I could have my ressource at home.
I tried to simply shift over to positive things when I felt a depression starting or I felt I am in one already.
I had my guitar, and I played it A LOT. I sang so loud and sad at times, it was almost like screaming out, but it helped me very much. I sang the sadest songs, and cried while doing so, and I sang the loudest and wildest songs, and I played my guitar like a maniac, very therapeutic.
The second thing I had was my pets (cats and guineapigs). I knew they love me no matter what, and when I felt bad they would come and cuddle and purr, and they would sleep in my bed (the cats). I loved them so much, everything about them, feeding them, giving them a treat, educating them, playing with them, cuddling with them. They were active cuties.
The third thing I had, my little post its on the wardrobe. This was difficult for me because I had such a negative, pessimistic, and tired of life mind set at the time + never really learnt to apprecieate myself and the things I like. I put one or two postive things on a small postit and pin it on the wardrobe. First I never looked at it because I felt ridiculous. But I realized that I am in my own place and noone looks, and that there are indeed lots of things I like and am good at. In the end they where abour 20, neatly in rows of five, because I like to put things neatly. And I would just turn around during the day and look at it and feel good about it.
So there are those physical things as I mentioned first, and the "other" things. notes, hobbies, pets.
If you know that a soft pillow can calm you down, have one of these small toy pillows with you, so you can touch it.
If you know that the smell of roses can calm you down, have a tiny bit of rose oil or something with that in your bag.
If you know that your partner can calm you down, have a photo in your pocket.
If you know that nature, plants, garden work calms you down, pick up a pinecone on the way, stop by the next tree and touch it....
If there are questions about this method with the ressources please ask, or send a pm if you don't wanna post it openly. I am not a professional, but I do know plenty about this kind of stuff having been through it myself and that mostly alone. I like to help because I know how bad it feels and how difficult it is to help yourself at times.

RE: The Depression/Anxiety Thread
Went through one of the biggest rough patches ever this year.......... I had become an observer of my life and not a participant.
This record was stuck in a "autopilot" groove and it was playing negativity 24-7
Hindsight is a funny thing.......... the biggest realisation came when I looked at my spiderplant and I hadnt watered it for around 3-4 months and it was dying....... Its how I felt on the inside and this realisation was what pushed me to call upon my family and friends for support, they knew I was bad but I lied to them about how bad I was..... didnt want to "burden" them with my shit.
Doctors wanted to put me on anti-ds and I took them for a month but then stopped........ If I wanted to feel artificially good then I could easily buy some ecstacy..... I knew it (anti-ds) would just mask my problem and that I need help in other ways........ I needed an outside influence to review my life and to offer me alternatives that I didnt see in my negativity.
This time around I made notes on my condition and have a page called "warning signs" so I know when I am heading down that road again....... Recently I have noticed them re-occuring and I do struggle to keep my head above water but this time around I have people to talk to and I am honest and open.
I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably have this for the rest of my life....... that there is some deep shit rooted in my sub-c that no matter what I do I cannot access nor can I change.
I wrote this poem at my worst and I put in in the poetry section of the forum at the time.......... I think this will explain more than any other writing I may put.
If my soul was a colour.
Right now it is black.
With a tiny white light.
Lost deep down inside.
This tiny white light.
So fragile.
Yet it is the only thing that keeps me together.
There are times when my light shines the way.
Illuminating life in darkness of day.
Yet there are times when my light seems to dim.
And I feel the darkness begin to close within.
Is my light the spark of life.
Cutting the darkness much like a knife.
What happens if the blade goes dull.
Will my life slowly become null...
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

RE: The Depression/Anxiety Thread
I cannot speak of how I feel.
Although this does not make it any less real.
How can I convey what I know.
The things only experience can show.
Sometimes im lost and sometimes im found.
Sometimes im up and sometimes im down.
Sometimes im me but mostly I act......
.....in accordance with circumstances that I deem as apt.
I think I know me but who am I.
Can the true me be seen with the eye
Can the real me be touched and carresed
Or will the real me die lonely
Never understanding why
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.

The European Commission has just released "The 2012 Ageing Report: Economic and budgetary projections for the EU27 Member States (2010-2060)", analysing the economic and budgetary impact of an ageing population over the long-term.
In 2010, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) gave the Economic Policy Committee (EPC) a mandate to update its common exercise of age-related expenditure projections by 2012 on the basis of a new population projection by Eurostat.
The long-term age-related expenditure projections provide an indication of the timing and scale of changes in economic developments that could result from an ageing population in a 'no-policy change' scenario. The projections show where (in which countries), when, and to what extent ageing pressures will accelerate as the baby-boom generation retires and average life span in the EU continues to increase.
Hence, the updated projections of age related expenditure and the associated sustainability assessments provide important insights on both the economic impact of ageing and the risks to the long-term sustainability of Member States' public finances reflecting new economic environment, affected by a durable impact of the current crisis, and further reform effort by EU MS.
The report, presented to the ECOFIN council in May 2012, details the expenditure projections covering pensions, health care, long-term care, education and unemployment transfers for all Member States. A statistical annex gives a country-by-country overview of the main assumptions and results.
On the basis of current policies, age-related public expenditures (pensions, health-care and long-term care) are projected to increase by 4.1 percentage points to around to around 29% of GDP between 2010 and 2060. Public pension expenditure alone is projected to rise by 1.5 percentage points to nearly 13% of GDP by 2060.

I've been to a few SQL Saturdays, and while most have run smoothly, I have a few comments on a couple issues I've seen multiple times that might help others.
In every event that I've attended, SQL Saturday or Tech Ed, the majority of people don't really know the venue. They don't know where things are, and they struggle to find them. Even maps in a booklet can be hard to comprehend when your frame of reference isn't set.
Don't spend a lot here, but print out a schedule for each room and post it by the door. Print out basic room names and arrows on regular printer paper and post them at every intersection. They'll help a lot. If you change buildings, put a list on each door of what rooms are inside the building (and what tracks).
Get more rooms if you can. Not larger rooms, but more of them. It's hard to figure out what to offer, and invariably some speakers will cancel. What I'd recommend is that you duplicate some of your sessions that you think are popular, on the schedule. Give people a couple chances to see something interesting.
Spare Presentations
Make sure that you have a few spare presentations. You can ask speakers if they can bring an extra, just in case, and I'd recommend the organizer not get on the schedule. Have something ready that you can jump in with, but you'll be busy. Don't schedule a presentation if you don't need to.
Raffle / Prizes
Usually there's a bunch of swag to give away at the end of the day. This has been handled in a few ways, but my suggestion is keep it simple. Just pull names or raffle tickets out of a box. I've seen various fancy attempts to automate this or make it fun, the reality is that the quicker you can give out 30 prizes, the better. It's been a long day, let people get out of there.
I'd make sure you have 3 volunteers here. One calling numbers, one handing out prizes, and one pulling up new prizes to keep things flowing.
After Party
As much as I think that having an informal, social get together after the event is great, it's not a party. It's not an excuse to get drunk, it's not a cut loose after the week event, even though it is on a Saturday.
It's a networking event.
So schedule is somewhere that you can get some decent space, and where it's not loud. It doesn't have to be private, IMHO, but it shouldn't have a band or loud music. Let it be a place where people can sit down in chat, in small or large groups.
Heck, a set of picnic tables in a park would be great if you can find a waiter to bring drinks by :)

Niagara County Community College is the recipient of four grants that will aid it in expanding community-based partnerships and programming, according to President James P. Klyczek. The grants will help NCCC develop community, school-based or professional development programs in suicide prevention, working with at-risk youth, Landmarks in American History and career and technical education.
"This series of grants will to greatly enhance NCCC's connection to the community and our outreach to schoolchildren, young adults and educators alike," said Klyczek. "Our Grants Office has been very proactive in seeking funding that will help the college to have a greater presence in secondary schools, as well as enhance the quality of life for area residents."
•The Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention Grant Program awarded NCCC $147,854 over three years. The funds, which will be matched by NCCC each year, are granted through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. NCCC is one of 40 award recipients nationwide, with only six awards going to community colleges.
NCCC will use the funds to create a campus suicide prevention program with a focus on the campus environment in an effort to reduce suicidality in all its forms of expression among the entire population of students. NCCC will establish student peer groups, especially targeting the at-risk populations of veterans and their families, Native Americans, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.
•The New York State Education Department has awarded NCCC $350,000 each year for five years. The Niagara Liberty Partnerships Program is a collaboration between NCCC and three Niagara County school districts - Lockport, Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda. The program's services are designed to provide effective interventions aimed at targeting 280 students "at-risk" of dropping out of school and providing them with academic, social and personal support.
•Landmarks in American History: Workshops for School Teachers from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The project, titled "Clinton's Ditch: Exploring the Erie Canal in Western New York," runs through Dec. 30. The $175,122 in funding will be used for two one-week workshops exploring themes in American history through a discussion on the construction of the Erie Canal. Workshops will include site visits, academic exercises, and interactive lectures from visiting and nationally renowned faculty. In addition to tours of Niagara Falls and Buffalo, attendees will visit the Lockport Locks, the Niagara escarpment, the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse, and the Erie Canal Harbor. NCCC was one of 21 awardees nationwide and the only community college to be awarded.
•NCCC has received a $418,803 award through the 2012-13 Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins IV) to enhance programs for its career and technical education students. Programs targeted by the award include enhancements to the college's surgical technology laboratory ($33,013), an improved medical assistant and phlebotomy laboratory ($67,393), a science tutoring center for students enrolled in CTE programs ($39,294), child care subsidies for students enrolled in CTE programs ($39,917), enhanced case management services for CTE developmental students ($119,593), and enhanced case management services for CTE students enrolled in the college's new Niagara Falls Culinary Institute ($119,593).
The funds will directly impact more than 1,500 CTE students enrolled at NCCC. Enhanced and improved laboratories, access to a science tutoring center and free child care, as well as improved services for developmental and Niagara Falls Culinary Institute CTE students will further allow students to master skills and prepare for employment.

Breaking News: Gov. Heineman Vetoes Bill to Ban Mountain Lion Hunting
LB 671 would have repealed 2012 legislation that authorized mountain lion hunting in Nebraska by allowing the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to provide permits for hunting mountain lions. Gov. Heineman signed this bill into law in 2012 after it passed in the Legislature with a vote of 49-0.Gov. Heineman noted in his veto message to State Senators that, "the majority of you supported the enactment of that law."The Governor's veto letter follows:Dear Mr. President and Members of the Legislature:I am returning LB 671 without my signature and with my objections.LB 671 would repeal authorization for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to issue permits for hunting mountain lions. In 2012, I signed LB 928 to grant the Commission the authority to permit the hunting of mountain lions. The majority of you supported the enactment of that law.Nebraskans expect responsible wildlife management. LB 671 eliminates an important tool used to accomplish it. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission should retain the ability to determine those management actions which are necessary to protect both the health and safety of our citizens and the wildlife in our state. Removing the agency's authority to manage mountain lions through hunting at this time is poor public policy.I am concerned that LB 671 is potentially unconstitutional as it prohibits wildlife management of mountain lions through hunting. The majority of Nebraskans expressed, through the 2012 adoption of Article XV, Section 25 of the Nebraska Constitution that "hunting, fishing, and harvesting of wildlife shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife." This provision of our Constitution is so new there is no clearly established law that tests its reach. However, LB 671 could be challenged as infringing upon Article XV, Section 25 because it precludes hunting which is now established as "preferred means" of wildlife management. Even if LB 671 is not unconstitutional, it fails to respect the will of Nebraska's citizens on this issue.For these reasons, I respectfully urge you to sustain my veto of this bill.

Shaheen's budget process reform bill gets endorsement
Senator proposes to switch to 2-year federal budget process
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's proposal to switch to a two-year federal budget process received an endorsement from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday.
"It's something I would really like to take a look at," Reid told The Hill. "It's something we should consider."
Shaheen introduced the legislation with Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Republican from Georgia, in an effort to reform what they called the broken appropriations process.
New Hampshire, where Shaheen also served as governor, has a biennial budget process, along with several other states.
"The budget process is broken," Shaheen said. "We've dealt with one too many manufactured budget crises, and now automatic cuts are threatening jobs and economic growth because of Washington's inability to budget properly."
Isakson said he believes the bill would get Republican support, and has already shown bipartisan support in the senate.
The proposal from the two senators, announced during a press conference on Thursday, still needs to be debated on the Senate floor.

Notable events of the past year
Highs and lows of 2012
•More than 250 townspeople attended the inauguration day ceremony at the Buffalo Launch Club to see the swearing-in ceremonies of elected officials, including the first woman supervisor in town history, Mary Cooke. Cooke's elevation from councilwoman to supervisor created an opening on the board, which was unfilled for three weeks until the board broke a stalemate and appointed Chris Aronica. Aronica then defeated Shelia Ferrentino, a member of the Planning Board in November.
•Superintendent of Grand Island Schools Robert Christmann announced his retirement effective Oct. 1. He accepted a position as executive director of the Western New York Educational Service Council, which is associated with the graduate school of education at the University at Buffalo. The council provides support services to school administrators and boards of education throughout Western New York. Christmann stayed on until December, when the school board ended his interim status. School Board President David Goris commented that in his 5-1/2 years with Grand Island, Christmann "has provided tremendous leadership ... . He has moved the district forward and is recognized throughout New York state. We are very proud to have had Bob in leadership service."
•The Grand Island Town Board asked residents to conserve water during a six-week period of a dry summer. The board praised residents for their cooperation in answering the voluntary request. Cooke said that the town wasn't able to refill the town water tank on Whitehaven Road, "and we were losing ground until we started the voluntary restriction." She noted that a threefold approach of water conservation, increasing pump capacity at the town water tank, and buying a little bit more water from Niagara County Water District worked. "We are grateful to Grand Island residents for their attention to the recent restrictions, and their responsive actions of being conservative and thoughtful with their water use," said Cooke after the advisory was lifted.
•Grand Island resident Corey McGowan's plan to improve the Grand Island Plaza's Baseline Road facing side ended in both an artistic and entertainment success, with a mural showcasing Grand Island's history and community painted by Terry Klaaren and volunteer artists, and unveiled at the hugely popular Taste of Grand Island Fall Festival on Oct. 13.
•Grand Island opened a new "gateway" at a ribbon-cutting for the new Fisherman's Landing on East River Road. Town and state government officials gathered to formally open the landing, which sits in the shadows of the South Grand Island Bridge. The project turned an abandoned wastewater treatment facility into public access to the waterfront. The event concluded a project years in the making. Town Supervisor Mary Cooke said wastewater treatment began in 1938 and the site continued operations into the 1980s.

Control Class
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
[ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDispatch)] [ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public class Control : Component, IDropTarget, ISynchronizeInvoke, IWin32Window, IBindableComponent, IComponent, IDisposable
/** @attribute ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDispatch) */ /** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) */ public class Control extends Component implements IDropTarget, ISynchronizeInvoke, IWin32Window, IBindableComponent, IComponent, IDisposable
To create your own control class, inherit from the UserControl, Control classes, or from the other Windows Forms provided controls. For more information about authoring custom controls, see Developing Custom Windows Forms Controls with the .NET Framework.
The Control class implements very basic functionality required by classes that display information to the user. It handles user input through the keyboard and pointing devices. It handles message routing and security. It defines the bounds of a control (its position and size), although it does not implement painting. It provides a window handle (hWnd).
Windows Forms controls use ambient properties so child controls can appear like their surrounding environment. An ambient property is a control property that, if not set, is retrieved from the parent control. If the control does not have a Parent, and the property is not set, the control attempts to determine the value of the ambient property through the Site property. If the control is not sited, if the site does not support ambient properties, or if the property is not set on the AmbientProperties, the control uses its own default values. Typically, an ambient property represents a characteristic of a control, such as BackColor, that is communicated to a child control. For example, a Button will have the same BackColor as its parent Form by default. Ambient properties provided by the Control class include: Cursor, Font, BackColor, ForeColor, and RightToLeft.
To make your Windows Forms application support Windows XP visual styles, be sure to set the FlatStyle property to System and include a manifest with your executable. A manifest is an XML file that is included either as a resource within your application executable or as a separate file that resides in the same directory as the executable file. For an example of a manifest, see the Example section of the FlatStyle enumeration. For more information about using the visual styles available in Windows XP, see "Using Windows XP Visual Styles" in the MSDN library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.
Windows Forms has accessibility support built in, and provides information about your application that enables it to work with accessibility client applications such as screen enlarger and reviewer utilities, voice input utilities, on-screen keyboards, alternative input devices, and keyboard enhancement utilities. Sometimes you will want to provide additional information to accessibility client applications. There are two ways of providing this additional information. You can set the AccessibleName, AccessibleDescription, AccessibleDefaultActionDescription, and AccessibleRole property values, which will be reported to accessibility client applications. This method is typically used to provide limited accessibility information for existing controls. Alternatively, you can write your own class deriving from the AccessibleObject or Control.ControlAccessibleObject classes, providing as much accessibility information as needed.
To maintain better performance, do not set the size of a control in its constructor. The preferred method is to override the DefaultSize property.
The majority of the controls in the System.Windows.Forms namespace use the underlying Windows common control as a base to build on. For more information about the Windows common controls, see the "General Control Reference" topic in the MSDN library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.
To identify Windows Forms controls from a separate process, use a standard SendMessage call to pass the WM_GETCONTROLNAME message. WM_GETCONTROLNAME is independent of the language and Windows hierarchy. For more information, see the "Recommended Solution for Windows Forms" topic in the "Automating Windows Forms" section of the MSDN library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.

This was an amazing service, thank you! I tried another service prior to this one and paid more money, but only had a few possibilities. With this service I had dozens of matches and dozens more responding so how could I really miss? the hard part was saying no to a couple good people. It couldn't have been easier... Thanks again! - Mary
Thanks for providing a great service. Your site was the most useful resource I encountered because of the room mail feature. Being able to make preliminary, semi-anonymous contacts with prospective roommates not only speeds the process of finding a roommate, but also allows for more selectivity in choosing someone who will work well with one's circumstances. -Alexandra
