The CardioWise analysis software is uniquely capable of analyzing the three-dimensional motion of the heart that is acquired from cardiac MRI images and then comparing the analysis at 15,300 points to the motion of a normal heart model.
Fayetteville, AK (PRWEB) January 10, 2014
CardioWise, Inc. has completed National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase I and IB Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) grants that continued the development and commercialization of a non-invasive analysis method for detection of heart disease. The final report submitted to the NSF in December detailed the research and development milestones that were achieved during the 2013 award period including:
- Development and testing of cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) solution that supports upload of magnetic resonance images (MRI) to CardioWise for analysis, and download of CardioWise analysis to any browser-based device in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT). This allows the analysis to be sent to any mobile device so that providers, doctors and patients can see and understand the diagnosis and actively participate in decisions about treatment.
- Automation and testing of software components of the MRI analysis currently being done by hand reducing total analysis time from 6 hours to less than 30 minutes, allowing the entire image acquisition and analysis to be completed in a single office visit.
- Clinical validation testing of the CardioWise analysis software on separate MRI scans acquired on the same patient on the same MRI, as well as scans acquired on the same patient but on different MRI systems. This validation is important for regulatory submission and clearance and also to insure patient safety.
The CardioWise analysis software is uniquely capable of analyzing the three-dimensional motion of the heart that is acquired from cardiac MRI images and then comparing the analysis at 15,300 points to the motion of a normal heart model. The analysis detects portions of the heart that are moving abnormally and demonstrates to what degree the heart muscle has been affected. Since MRI uses no ionizing radiation or contrast, it is completely non-invasive and poses no risk to the patient. This diagnostic analysis method may aid doctors to determine what intervention, such as surgery, stent insertion, or drug is most appropriate for the patient who presents with cardiovascular disease symptoms.
CardioWise analysis software is a platform technology that can analyze heart contractile motion from other imaging modalities just as well as images acquired from MRI systems. In cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram) and computerized tomographic (CT) images wall motion, recognizable patterns and easily identifiable cardiac anatomy may be tracked to produce input to CardioWise for analysis. The company's long-term strategy is to address all of these available markets with its platform analysis product.
The NSF Phase I and IB SBIR awards are intended to incentivize and support small and early stage businesses to undertake research and development with high technical risk and high commercial reward. To qualify for the award, there must be significant societal impact and significant market opportunity from the technology developed.
CardioWise™ is commercializing patent-pending, non-invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) analysis software that produces a quantified 4D image model of the human heart, called Multiparametric Strain (MPS™) heart analysis. CardioWise heart analysis software combined with cardiac MRI is a single diagnostic test that is able to provide quantitative analysis of the myocardium, arteries and valves with an unprecedented level of detail. It has the opportunity to become the new gold standard of care for heart health analysis. CardioWise™ is a VIC Technology Venture Development™ portfolio company.

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the baby bell peppers in a single layer and cook, turning, until the skins blister and start browning, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion, poblano, garlic, cumin, oregano, ancho and chipotle chile powders and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the onion and poblano are tender, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the pork. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Make a slit in each baby bell pepper with a paring knife, cutting from stem to tip. Crumble the meat mixture into small bits, then stir in the cilantro and cheese. Stuff 2 to 3 teaspoons of the meat mixture into each pepper using your fingers or a small spoon; transfer to a baking sheet. (The peppers can be stuffed up to 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before baking.)
Bake until the peppers are hot and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and serve with lime wedges.

What's not made clear in the N.Y. TIMES articles is the FBI threatened to deport Salem if he didn't ALLOW THE FBI to substitute REAL BOMB PARTS for the FAKE BOMB PARTS.
Salem said the FBI broke in his apartment and replaced the fake bomb parts and left real bomb parts instead.
When Salem noticed this, Salem immed. telephoned his contact with the FBI, agent Anticev and the following recording proves the conversation they had…it's even a matter of U.S. District court record.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 30, 2014) - Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:RUP) today announced that it has increased the land holdings and furthered the longevity of certain claims in and around the former producing Surf and Pugsley Mines at its Surf Inlet Property.
The Surf Inlet property is located on Princess Royal Island, British Columbia, and is comprised of 21 Crown Grants and eight mineral tenures covering a new total area of 874 hectares. The property is home to the former producing Surf and Pugsley Mines which were last operated in 1929 by Surf Inlet Consolidated Gold Mines Limited. Total reported production from the Surf Inlet Property is 1,091,131 tons at a reported average grade of 13.5 grams gold per ton (0.425 oz/ton) (Vulimiri 1986). The Surf and Pugsley Mines combined historical metal production is estimated at: 463,731 gold ounces, 201,207 silver ounces and 6,248,853 pounds copper. Of the two mines, Surf produced the majority of gold ore, 921,245 tons or approximately 84% (BC Minfile Report 103H027). Mineralization is hosted in quartz veining associated with fault structures.
Rupert believes the Surf Inlet property has significant exploration potential as evidenced by its former producer status and several exploration programs conducted between 1980 and 2000. Although no exploration has been undertaken since a limited diamond drill program in 2000, Rupert has yet to act on the recommendations and plans for exploration made in an NI 43-101 compliant report titled "Technical Review, Surf Inlet Gold Project", 2004.
Rupert owns the 21 Crown Grants that encompass the two former producing areas of the property. The Crown Grants have no expiry dates, but an annual tax on each claim is payable to the British Columbia Provincial Government to retain ownership.
Rupert has increased the land holdings to 874 contiguous hectares from 565 hectares in order to more completely contain the areas beyond the two former producing mines and to consolidate the land holdings of the district. These mineral tenured areas, which include the 21 Crown Grants, are important for future exploration potential and for access to the mines. In addition, longevity of the tenure ownership has increased as the ownership period of four of the mineral tenures have been extended to 2020. The remaining four tenures can also be extended through exploration activities or through payment in lieu of such activities. Please see www.rupertresources.com.
About the Company
Rupert Resources is a Canadian based gold exploration company. Rupert's objective is to evaluate the developmental potential of its two assets - the Surf Inlet property in British Columbia and the Gold Centre property in Ontario - in parallel with the objective of finding other investment opportunities in near term producing assets through active searches for development projects. Rupert holds a 100% interest in the Gold Centre property, which has the distinction of being one of the best-positioned exploration land packages within the entire Red Lake gold mining camp. The Gold Centre property is immediately adjacent to and on trend with the world's richest gold mine, Goldcorp, now working within 600m of Rupert's boundary.
In 2004, Rupert commenced an 11,900m drill program on the Gold Centre property consisting of two main holes and several daughter holes. Although, at the 2008 conclusion of this program no significant gold was found in that small area in the South West portion of the property, strong geological features were encountered. On the heels of a recent $510,000 private placement, the new Summer 2013 exploration program has been completed. A geophysical program delineated three strong I.P. anomalies, with two located in the northwestern portion, and one in the eastern portion of the property. They have been recommended as diamond drill targets. See press release, November 14, 2013.

The first year of "Irredeemable" was a revelation. The title began as a simple 'Superman gone wrong' story, albeit one done with a lot of skill, and it quickly became something more. A rumination on power and those we trust with it, it soon becoming apparent that the Plutonian, the Superman-esque hero turned evil, isn't the only one failing to live up to his or her status as a protector of mankind. The most recent and shocking was Bette Noir who failed to provide the means to stop the Plutonian when he first went rogue because it would have meant revealing the night they spent together to her husband. That choice cost millions their lives.
Last issue, that choice was explored in great depth as Bette told the story to her now homeless father and he let her know just how much she screwed up – if she already didn't, having her father lay into her verbally definitely made it worse, and made her determined to do what she could to stop further lives from being lost. The only problem is that the Paradigm, the only group that could probably stop the Plutonian, has been arrested by the US government and is imprisoned.
This issue begins with the appearance of an unlikely pairing in the form of Survivor and Orian), last seen traveling to Orian's home dimension and fighting one another. Their method of returning is unpleasant and immediately shows the difference between the two. The rest of the issue focuses on the Paradigm and their efforts to escape. The most notable is Gil, the winged immortal and a time he was imprisoned before, with Alexander the Great. The lesson he learned from Alexander serves him well here as he goes to painful lengths to escape.
Still absent is Peter Krause, but Diego Barreto does an able job in his stead. His work isn't as tight in places, but his visual style is similar enough to keep the book looking like it has since its inception. His line work is dynamic, showing characters in motion or in as visually interesting a manner as possible. Some of his finishes are weak on smaller panels or when showing characters from further away than medium shots. It's solid, but not flashy or stunning work.
In many ways, this issue is just another example of the title's high level of quality, but it also shows a different side of many of the heroes. Their determination and skill in a difficult situation, and their drive to protect the world even if some view them as threats. For a series that's focused on the shortcomings of heroes, this issue is a rare example of a focus on the heroes being heroes, stepping up to do what's necessary and right no matter what. Those threads have always been there, but an entire issue devoted to the idea is needed after so much time wallowing in how heroes can go wrong and fail to live up to their callings. "Irredeemable" is probably the best work of Mark Waid's career and the complexity of the world and its characters is why.

K+ TAKO LABO by TAKORA K Futori
"Hey Graphics! Do a little dance to be seen."
"Hey Graphics! Do a little dance to be seen." is a kaleidoscopic dance of pop colours and shapes, inspired by the unlimited narrative potential that patterns possess. Following two successful shows in Tokyo and Kyoto, K+ TAKO LABO is Japanese graphic artist TAKORA K Futori's first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia.
Through TAKO LABO, TAKORA can share his pattern graphics with the world in more tangible ways. His trademark bold and pop graphics are applied to hand-dyed textiles and paper goods. "I wanted to create a way where my graphics could be more involved in our everyday life," he says. The textile format provides him with a larger-than-life, three-dimensional canvas to experiment with.
TAKORA will be presenting seven patterns brought to life through a range of textiles, silkscreened by hand in eye-catching colour combinations. The exhibition will also feature a capsule collection of handmade dresses (designed by AKIKO HAMADA from NINP), fabric items and accessories.
We invite you to discover a world of dancing graphics at K+ TAKO LABO by TAKORA K Futori, which runs from 28 July to 10 September 2017.

In-Vitro Fertilization Clinic in Hyderabad
The Blastocyst culture and transfer procedure for In-Vitro Fertilization facilitates selection of the best quality embryos for transfer to the uterus of the mother. The concept of embryo quality is a very important one for couples experiencing infertility. With Blastocyst embryo transfer, we can transfer fewer embryos – reducing risks for multiple pregnancies – while keeping overall pregnancy rates high.
A Blastocyst is an embryo that has developed for five to seven days after fertilization. At this point the embryo has two different cell types and a central cavity. It has just started to differentiate. The surface cells- called the Trophectoderm, will become the Placenta, and the inner cells-called the inner cell mass, will become the Fetus. A healthy Blastocyst should begin hatching from its outer shell- called the Zona Pellucid, by the end of the sixth day. Within about 24 hours after hatching, it should begin to implant into the lining of the mother's uterus.
Blastocyst Culturing
Blastocyst culturing is a technique to grow embryos beyond the 3rd day of culture. Typically we transfer embryos into the uterus, 3 days after the egg retrieval when the embryos generally are between 6-8 cells. When the embryos are cultured to day 5 they become round 120 cells which is known as blastocyst.
The natural process of embryo development begins with the fertilization of the egg in the outer aspect of the fallopian tube. As the newly formed embryo develops, it moves slowly towards the uterine cavity where it will ultimately implant. This process takes approximately 6-7 days. When the embryo reaches the "Blastocyst" stage, it is ready to implant.
In certain patients, the advantage of Blastocyst culturing is to allow optimal selection of embryos for transfer, resulting in an increased implantation rate per embryo transferred. However, it is important to understand that this technology may not necessarily increase your chance for pregnancy. The main advantage is that fewer embryos may be transferred to eliminate the possibility of triplet pregnancies, while maintaining a high pregnancy rate.
Is it for everyone?
No. Generally speaking, this procedure should be limited to patients with excessive numbers of embryos (greater than 10) in which case further selection of embryos beyond the day 3 stage
would be advantageous. As a general rule, patients under the age of 37 are candidates for this culturing technique. We do not recommend this procedure to older patients because the risk of having no Blastocyst embryos for transfer is too great.
What percentage of embryos will grow to the Blastocyst stage in culture?
For younger patients, up to 50% of all embryos will continue to grow to the Blastocyst stage. However, 10% of patients will not have an opportunity for embryo transfer due to the absence of Blastocyst development. As patients get older, fewer and fewer numbers of embryos are capable of developing in culture to the Blastocyst stage.
What are the risks of Blastocyst culturing?
There are two main concerns with Blastocyst culture:
- Some patients may have no embryos development to Blastocyst and thus lose the opportunity for a transfer.
- The number of embryos for freezing and the survival of embryos after thawing will decline, potentially lowering the overall pregnancy potential of a single stimulation/egg retrieval treatment cycle.
How do we know if we should seriously consider it?
If you are younger than 37 years old with a normal day 3 FSH level and have a strong desire to avoid triplet pregnancy, then you should seriously consider it. If you have an absolute reluctance to selective fetal reduction, then you have even more reason to consider Blastocyst culturing.
Are there any limitations to Blastocyst culturing?
Yes, if you have less than four, 8-cell quality embryos on the 3rd day of culture, we do not recommend proceeding with Blastocyst culturing even if you so desire it. With Blastocyst culturing, we are not able to freeze as many embryos because of poor embryo development to the Blastocyst stage. Also, there appears to an increased risk of identical twinning with Blastocyst culturing (including the possibility of conjoint twinning where the babies may be connected and share some organs). Fortunately, the risk of identical twinning is very low (<1%).
Would the embryos that arrest in culture prior to the Blastocyst stage have arrested in the uterus?
There is no possible way to completely know this answer. We believe that embryos that do not survive in culture would be less likely to survive or implant in the uterus.

Not much has been heard from Tatiana Golovin lately in the world of professional tennis. The 2004 French Open mixed doubles winner was forced to stop playing in 2008, due to back problems.
The Moscow-born, French athlete has not, however, sat on her laurels. She is a member of "Champions for Peace," an organization created by Peace and Sport, which is a Monaco-based international organization. "Champions for Peace" consists of 54 athletes who are committed to serving world peace through sports.
Ms. Golovin debuted on the ITF (International Tennis Federation) Circuit in 2002 at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Her first WTA (Women's Tennis Association) Tour match was in 2003.
In 2004, she was the wild card at the Australian Open, and lasted through three rounds of play. She reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, only falling to Serena Williams. She also reached the semifinal of the Paris Indoors; her first Tour singles final at Birmingham, and her first Tier I quarterfinal in Montreal. She was also a member of the France Fed Cup Team, which made it through to the finals. She was first ranked in the Top 100 (No. 91) in February, and the Top 50 (No. 50) in June.
In 2005, the 17 year old Golovin was No. 3 seed in the Japan Open (retiring due to left achilles tendinitis), and was a five-time semifinalist (playing on four different surfaces). Her Top 20 debut (No. 18) came in this year, after the semifinals at Charleston.
2006 brought Golovin her second Tier I semifinal, where she won her fifth career top ten victory and her 100th career singles match win. She played in the WTA Tour at Roland Garros, and France's Fed Cup World Group 1 Play-off victory over the Czech Republic. She also reached the U.S. Open's quarterfinal, and her first final since 2005 in Stuttgart at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
Le Monde De Tatiana Golovin – Episode 3 by DiabloBarca
2007 started with a non-Tour event – Perth, Australia's Hopman Cup. She made it to the second round of the WTA's Medibank International, and the third round of the Australian Open. She made it to the semifinals of Antwerp's 2007 Proximus Diamond Games, and the quarterfinals at Indian Wells. She won her first WTA final at the Bausch & Lomb Championships, in Florida. In a major upset, however, she lost at Wimbledon, in the second round, to Tamira Paszek, an unseeded 16-year-old. She also lost at California's Acura Classic, Toronto's Rogers Cup, and the 2007 U.S. Open Women's Singles event. She came back by winning her second career title in Portorož. At the 2007 Porsche Grand Prix, her first Tier I tournament final, she lost to Justine Henin, who also beat her at Zurich Open.
It looked like 2008 would be the year that brought Ms. Golovin to prominence. She was on the French team at the Hopman Cup, was No. 13 seed in the Australian Open, and entered the Memphis tournament, but then back problems sidelined her indefinitely.
In 2009, Ms. Golovin appeared with Daniela Hantuchová and Maria Kirilenko in "Volley of the Dolls", a pictorial in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
She's tall, sexy, and sporty. She's as tough-looking as models of mens wetsuits, yet as gentle-mannered as a soft-spoken saleslady from a sleepy software house. And no, she's not Maria Sharapova—she's Tatiana Golovin, a not-so-typical tennis player.
This erstwhile French female tennis hotshot could easily beat the hell out of any player on the court and make them apply on logbook loans for some much-needed early retirement cash support—be it a muscular male player with too much time to spend doing repetitions on a chin up bar or an equally feisty and explosive female ace with lightning-fast ace serves. Golovin is said to possess one of the fiercest, most menacing forehand in the sport, which is probably due to her training under some of tennis' best coaches—the likes of Nick Bollettieri, Brad Gilbert, Dean Goldfine, and former world number 1 Mats Wilander.
Like the more famous Sharapova, Golovin also possesses an allure that could easily land her a lucrative brazilian keratin treatment, Home Remodeling, or free dating sites endorsement contracts—at 5'9, this towering 23-year-old Russian-born professional tennis ace is one the sport's most recognizable faces. And, just like a great writer of african mango reviews, she also has an interesting story to tell.
Born to Gregori, a former ice hockey mentor, and Lioudmila, Golovin turned pro in 2002. In 2004, she was named Tour Newcomer of the Year, and won the French Open mixed doubles title with Richard Gasquet. The 2004 season was considered Golovin's breakthrough season, as she also made a Top 100 debut on February 16 and a Top 50 entry on June 14. In this same year, Golovin had another remarkable victory as part of the runner-up French Fed Cup team.
During the 2006 US Open, Golovin faced Sharapova in an explosive battle that won for the French hotshot the respect of the tennis community in spite of her eventual defeat. From this eventful year, Golovin since then racked up impressive wins and noteworthy campaigns which eventually earned her a world number 12 rankings. However, in 2008 she was diagnosed with a lower back inflammation. This setback forced her to leave the pro scene for an indefinite period.
Although she has been absent in the pro circuit for quite some time now, Golovin is not contenting herself with doing mundane things, like enrolling in one of the online criminal justice degrees, getting a French professional translation job, or pondering on the best life insurance quotes or the most sophisticated home alarm systems available in the market. She's currently a UNESCO Promoter of Gender Equality, a title bestowed on her in Paris in 2007. The said UNESCO-Tour partnership champions women's equality and leadership across all social and economic levels, and speaks so much about the deeper character of Golovin.
Indeed, Tatiana Golovin is not just your usual tennis player.
Tatiana Golovin was a professional tennis player who has had some success in her career. She is noted for her strong forehand, one of the best tennis has seen. She has remained inactive for quite some time after a back inflammation injury. This happened when she was ranked 12th overall, 2 steps far from hitting the top ten.
Tennis is one aspect of her life. She has had some achievements that have sky rocketed her to fame. In 2004, she had a run in the Australian open – she was only 16 then. This was only the beginning. After 3 years, she already had titles and finals appearances in grand slam events, screaming wow gold in the events of her success.
Tatiana was noted for her triumphs over top seeded players. She has scored 13 victories against top ten players. In early 2008, she had the number 12 seed but then disaster stroke. She was diagnosed with chronic back injury that will end her tennis career indefinitely.
Right now, you can say that she has an office Space London, partly because she has shifted from one career to another. She may have hit the yoga mats more because regardless of the lack of training on tennis, she remains fit – really sexy. Fat loss 4 idiots? I don't think so; she has been on the cover of magazines and on dreamweaver templates.
Tatiana Golovin measured herself, and her versatility triumphed over the odds. She pursued a career in television commentaries and writing. You may see her now on evening dresses rather than on short skirts and sports tank tops. You may even see her working for San Antonio marketing as her versatility offers so much potential.
Regarding her distant future, you may think she would need the best anti aging cream, but she may still be rocking the television. She has just landed and will soon take over. Ending her tennis career at the age of 23 is much of a shock to everyone and much more to herself. It's like going to a drug treatment center without any addiction or reason or walking blind without dog leads but hearing barks along the way.
Contrary to most athletes that don't bounce back after injuries, Tatiana bounced back with a different approach. Knowing that tennis would no longer be an option, she drove in for a new career. You wouldn't see her offering some meladerm reviews for instant home shopping networks or C9 Christmas Lights for the seasons coming. Certainly none of properties will go on "terrain a vendre" over the French market. You will see more of her doing her hosting and commentaries over orange and France, also having some columns on L'Equipe. You will see her off court on the French Open, broadcasting and back in the world of tennis again.
Is Men's or Women's Tennis More Popular?
This has been a debate that has been around for years, many believe they are equal but the majority of people who watch tennis matches will tell you that the men remain in the lead on this one.
Why is it that men's tennis seems to be more popular than women's? The women players we have today are excellent players often outranking the men when it comes to gameplay, yet the men are still in the lead and this is reflected in their pay packet, another of the arguments that is currently taking place around the world.
Not only is men's tennis more popular but their earnings and winnings are higher than women's tennis, making it an extremely sexist sensitive subject. When you look at a wrinkle cream review or search for best oils for skin you don't care if it's made by a man or woman, as long as it works.
I think a majority will agree that the same should apply to tennis. Women's tennis has a strong following and some of the games can offer just as much excitement, if not more than some of the men's tennis matches, yet there are still more people who will follow men's tennis than women's.
Is it a sexist thing or is it just the way the game is played? The men players do tend to be more aggressive in their game, which is one of the reasons many followers mainly follow the men. They argue that the men's games are more thrilling and the games overall enjoyment factor is higher than the women's games.
But if you think about it when you want to know how mogl work or you want to find a dentist, do you really care if it's a man or woman?

Biography of Rafael Nadal
Rafael "Rafa" Nadal is a Spanish tennis player who is called the "King of Clay" for all his success on the clay court but is also universally considered as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He was born in Manacor, Mallorca, Spain on June 3, 1986 and began playing tennis at the age of 3 years old. As of early 2013, Nadal is ranked No. 5 in the world after missing the last 8 months due to a knee injury.
Nadal's was born to Sebastian Nadal and Ana Maria Parera who were not professional athletes. Nadal, however, had plenty of other sources of inspiration as he gravitated to tennis by way of his uncle Toni Nadal who was a professional tennis player, and Miguel Angel Nadal who was a retired footballer. Early on, Rafa played both sports on a regular basis but when this started to affect his studies, his father made him choose one and stop the other. Thus, he decision to become a tennis player was made not unlike the dramatics in many movie reviews.
As a professional tennis player, Rafa is known for some qualities that few other players can match on the court. He plays left handed even if he naturally a righty in order to gain a natural advantage over players not used to playing against lefties. This was essentially his eczema cream, a strategic solution to overcome the dominance of the righties. Nadal is also a relentless defender, choosing to run after every ball and playing that extra shot that forces his opponents to commit a mistake. The topspin he imparts with his shots is unrivaled in the game. Combined, these attributes allow Nadal to dominate games so much so that his opponents may need an accident lawyer after every game for all the punishment that they take on the court.
At age 26, Rafa is already one of the most storied players in the game enduring through various injuries like knee issues, back pain, wrist problems, an abdominal tear, and many others. He has won 51 career titles in total, none more impressive than his 11 Grand Slam titles, seven of which he won at the hallowed grounds of Philippe Chatrier Court which is home to the French Open. He also won twice in Wimbledon, once in Australia and once in the US Open to complete the tennis career grand slam.
Also included in his title hauls are the 21 ATP Masters 1000 titles that he has won, tied with Roger Federer for the most in the Open era. He also won the gold medal in Olympic tennis at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In addition, he has also captained the Spanish Davis Cup team to 4 championships, perhaps his "coconut oil for face" equivalent which is what will set him apart from other players who only focus on their professional tennis career without giving time to their national tennis duties. Overall, Nadal has over $50 million in career earnings and has held the N. 1 ranking for an extended period.
If injuries do not cut his career short, Rafa has plenty more to offer in his next few years as a member of the tennis professional institute. He is in perfect position to chase Roger Federer's record of 17 grand slam titles in order to further cement his legacy as one of the best of all time. He can also extend his dominance over his notable rivalries with other top players in the men's game, namely Federer, Andy Murray, and Novak Djokovic.
For sure, there are plenty more to expect from the precocious kid from Spain. His body is his biggest enemy. If he wins that battle, he will undoubtedly win many more wars on the tennis court.

Your next question then would be "an upgrade to what and why?"
Unfortunately in most cases the upgrade may actually be a replacement of a short lived TV, depending who manufactured the UHDTV.
Over the past couple of years 4K displays and projectors were made available to consumers and, although market introduction is better than expected and prices are rapidly coming down, many journalists continuously discourage consumers with negativism, such as:
"You will see no difference from your typical viewing distance",
"Your eyes are not capable to notice, UHDTV is stupid",
"Why UHDTV if many still think they are viewing HD when tuning to a SD channel on their HDTVs",
"Prices are too high", and one of the latest denials is,
"Current UHDTVs may be obsolete soon when standards are implemented",
Unfortunately, it may be right, and that depends on the very few manufacturers that offer some upgrade capabilities, and the take out of this article is: choose right, or wait.
On the "Living with 4K" series of articles I described the differences between 4K and UHDTV, and also mentioned the ITU REC. 2020 UHDTV standard, which includes 4K UHD-1 and 8K UHD-2, with 3840 (x2160) and 7680 (x4320) of horizontal resolution and 4 times/16 times the image resolution of HDTV, respectively.
However, the new Ultra HD standard as specified by the Rec. 2020 includes other video features (and audio) for image quality besides higher pixel resolution. It includes 10 and 12-bit color depth (rather than the current 8-bit of HD and Blu-ray, and all current consumer HD content), it also includes 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling for a less aggressive color compression (rather than the current 4:2:0 used for consumer HD content, and Blu-ray, which discards 75% of the color information of the full color/luminance data of 4:4:4), and includes more colors than the current Rec. 709 of HDTV/Blu-ray with a larger color space, to mention a few.
Do you know if your UHDTV would be able to accept and display what it should? Or is just limited to display 4 times the pixels of the legacy HDTV image it can handle. On a recent SMPTE conference we were discussing exactly that: more pixels or better pixels?
Such detail is not usually addressed in the blogs and articles consumers typically read because to understand them requires the right audience and certainly more knowledge that just turn on the TV, sit, and enjoy, which is what most consumers care for, not to mention the knowledge the writer should have.
However, early adopters that are actually interested on that detail, and bought or are about to buy an UHDTV or new 4K player, are beginning to get worried about the rumors of early obsolescence, and about investing so dearly on one of the new 4K UHDTVs to shortly find out that the UHDTV or the 4K player maybe obsolete because it cannot display the full feature set of what "may" be coming when the dust settles.
One such item is 4K Blu-ray, with specs expected by year-end and possible players hopefully next year but with unknown technical features. Another item is content protection standards such as HDCP 2.2 (used by Sony's 4K downloading player which was introduced as only compatible with new Sony's 4K displays) rather than the commonly used HDCP 1.0. Another is the ability to accept and display 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (currently 24 and 30 fps). Another is the compatibility with HDMI 2.0 connectivity/spec, which features of 2.0, and which HDMI chips were implemented in the product, plain 1.4, 1.4 with certain 2.0 capabilities, or 2.0?, etc.
Along those lines, due to the HDMI chips implemented, most A/V receivers and pre-pros are not capable to accept and output 4K untouched pass-thru video, or handle the higher frame rates of 4K, and most are not upgradeable, or the upgradeability may be costly.
So the question to be asked by someone looking to buy an UHDTV now should be: "if the current model of UHDTV does not do what may be coming shortly depending on how the standard is implemented for content and equipment, which manufacturer can commit to an upgrade path?
The answer to that is: unfortunately just a few of them. Samsung is one, Sony is another. Most do not say.
Samsung offers a connectivity box that maybe upgraded/replaced so the consumer would not have to replace the UHDTV for issues of connectivity, such as the new HDMI 2.0 or HDCP 2.2, or future versions.
Sony is performing an effort to upgrade the hardware/software of earlier models of 4K TVs and projectors to bring them up to the new features as they become available from the industry and standards, many of those not controlled by the manufacturer, such as HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, etc.
Incidentally, the HDMI 2.0 spec that allows for 4K 60fps was just introduced in September 2013 and HDMI chips take months to become available, so what a manufacturer is supposed to install on a UHDTV that was just released?
What happens if 4K Blu-ray, or a downloading/streaming service, are implemented with 60 fps (a feature of HDMI 2.0, and Rec. 2020 standard) and the expensive UHDTV you just purchased has a 1.4 HDMI chip that cannot handle the new format?
What happens if the 4K content carries the new HDCP 2.2 content protection with water marking, etc. and you recently purchased an UHDTV, or buy next month's UHDTV from X manufacturer, which has an HDMI chip that cannot yet handle other than legacy HDCP 1.0 content protection?
What happens if we are lucky enough to eventually have access to 4K content that comes with 12-bit color depth and larger color space, with more colors in the original image, and your recently purchased UHDTV can only handle 8-bit color depth and the smaller Rec. 709 color space of HDTV and Blu-ray content? Who and how that conversion be done? Could it possibly be done correctly?
Most 4K manufacturers sell you expensive UHDTVs and have no upgrade path. Sony has its own 4K player, own 4K content, own 4K cameras, installed base of thousands of 4K projectors on local theaters, a whole coverage of the 4K ecosystem no other industry player can claim.
Regarding the cost of upgrading Sony's first generation 4K consumer projector, it has been estimated at $2,500 but that depends on the dealer's additional job on the client's installation. That is only 10% of the cost of the $25,000 4K projector (VW-1000). Is that better than declaring it obsolete because HDMI 2.0 and 60 fps 4K have arrived?
The upgrade is done by a Sony technician at the client's home and includes a new lamp (+-$700), Sony's 4K content downloader/player ($700), Sony's new tablet to control the player and for 4K downloading services ($500+, also useful as a tablet as any other tablet), 4K 60fps capabilities of the HDMI 2.0 spec with new HDMI chips and main boards, compatibility with HDCP 2.2 for the protection of Sony's 4K content, a feature other manufacturers do not even mention, ask them what are their plans for their customers if HDCP 2.2 is used to protect 4K content you want to view, etc.
Again, critics should look at the broad picture and realize that although most manufacturers may expect customers to buy again, others like Samsung and Sony should rather be commended for their commitment to their 4K clients by adapting their products as new features, products and standards arrive to market.
Companies that do not offer upgradeability may pose a big question mark for consumers looking for reassurance when selecting a new UHDTV, no matter how good the TV image may look today.
I had a similar experience back in 1998 when HDTV was just on the air and HDTVs were introduced, the expensive HDTVs only had component analog inputs for the HD connectivity to HD-STBs to tune over-the-air or satellite and that was fine back then.
Later in 2003 all HDTV and equipment manufacturers implemented DVI and HDMI digital connectivity and gradually switched to HDMI. Blu-ray players also went thru an "analog sunset" period to stop installing component analog connections, making obsolete early adopter HDTVs by disrupting connectivity with Blu-ray players and other source equipment that does not have component analog connections, such as Roku, Apple TV, ChromeCast, etc.
About 11 million early adopters that purchased their HDTVs between 1998 and 2003 were disenfranchised and although an HDMI-to-component-analog converter could have helped, if the content carries content protection (HDCP) over HDMI, it would have not.
The point is: No upgrade path to HDMI was offered by ANY TV manufacturer to the majority of HDTV owners at that moment, and those consumers were the ones that foot the bill of R&D for those companies to grow by paying high prices for those first generations of TVs.
In summary: As an early adopter in the middle of this evolving 4K implementation, rather than choosing a wonderful product with no assured upgrade plans, I prefer to choose a product from a manufacturer that releases ground-breaking technology as early as possible but commits to upgrade the product later to incorporate expected advances in the overall effort of implementing a new standard like UHDTV, without having to buy the product again for that reason.
Additionally, due to the broad number of transforming factors of how 4K is being implemented, installers and dealers must do an effort to be fully knowledgeable of much more than the product at hand, to properly advice clients of all the variables, for the client to make the informed decision of when and which 4K product to buy, if they pursue more than just being first on the block.

Meaghan and I are spending a nice long weekend in Astoria at the Cannery Pier Hotel. It's a nice change to relax, unwind, and enjoy the Oregon coast together. So far we have been extremely lucky with the weather. The sun has been shining and there hasn't been a cloud in the sky. We arrived on Friday evening, checked in, and were promptly invited to join a wine tasting in the hotel lobby just a few hours later. A good start!
After getting settled into our room we decided upon a place for dinner and reserved one of the hotel cars. The Cannery owns and operates three classic cars for the use of their guests to get around town, a 1938 Packard (pictured below), and both a classic Cadillac and Buick. They look like something out of a 1930s gangster movie and were a special treat. After enjoying some cheese, biscuits, and free wine at the tasting our chauffeur was soon driving us to our evening destination; the Ship Inn. Boasting traditional English fish and chips, we each enjoyed a battered Halibut and several more glasses of wine.
The weather was so nice that we decided to walk home after dinner instead of calling our driver for a return journey. The sun was setting as we perambulated down the river-walk back to our hotel. From the balcony of our suite we were treated to the most beautiful sunset. What a great first evening.
Before falling asleep we watched several boats and ships sail down the river and past our balcony. After the sun had finally set we sat and stargazed for a while before finally calling it a night.

BWW Interviews: DEREK KEELING of 'Million Dollar Quartet' Answers Our Silly Query
When you peruse Derek Keeling's impressive list of stage credits, you'll notice an interesting coincidence. Possessing a wonderful singing voice combined with charismatic matinee-idol looks that are punctuated with an old-school swagger, it's no wonder that he's developed quite a love affair with shows that turn the clocks back to the musically-rich decades of the 20th Century.
Best known to national audiences for placing in the top 3 of NBC's Grease: You're The One That I Want—a reality TV competition that sought out new talent for a new Broadway revival of GREASE—Keeling went on to play the infamous Danny Zuko in the summer of 2008, marking his Broadway debut (in a role, by the way, he has also portrayed "nearly 1,000" times in various professional productions across the U.S., Canada and Europe).
Sprinkled in between, he's been an L.A.-area favorite playing the "Fonz" in the HAPPY DAYS stage musical, Chad in Musical Theatre West's ALL SHOOK UP, plus roles in THE WEDDING SINGER and LIFE COULD BE A DREAM. And along with well-received concerts with Cal Philharmonic and at Feinstein's NYC, he has also won the Midtown International Theatre Festival Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his work on the off-Broadway production of CONNECT-DISCONNECT.
Fast forward to the fall of 2011, and this time Keeling has stepped into the shoes of another well-known musical icon: Johnny Cash. Taking on the coveted role of The Man in Black for the first national tour of the Tony Award-winning MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET—finally landing in Southern California at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa from April 24 through May 6—Keeling will be appearing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lee Ferris, Martin Kaye, and Cody Slaughter who will be embodying three other real-life musical legends: Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, respectively.
Right before the show rocks out the O.C., BroadwayWorld subjected Keeling to a few silly, rapid-fire questions.
Subject: Derek Keeling
Hometown: Charleston, WV
What real-life musical icon would you not mind portraying next?
Tim McGRaw. Now that I've been playing Johnny Cash for a while, I have developed a taste for country music. I feel like Tim McGRaw is kind of like a modern day Johnny Cash with the way he tells stories with his music.
What is your must-do, pre-show ritual?
A nap is a must for me before this show. It's really the only way that I can relax my voice enough to hit all of the low notes of Johnny Cash. It's kind of the opposite of what I've had to do for every other show. Usually I would do about an hour of cardio to wake my body up before shows.
In ONE WORD, describe what goes through your head right before you step out on stage:
What's YOUR favorite musical show and/or cast album of all time?
Original Cast of RAGTIME. I love Bryan Stokes Mitchell.
What's the song that you like belting in the shower or when you're all alone in the car?
I mainly sing Gospel songs in the shower, and songs from RAGTIME! I know, I'll never really get to sing that in a show.
What scares you the most?
Forgetting lines or lyrics.
What is your one guilty pleasure?
Country Music.
What do you like to do on your day off?
I like to get away and see the sights of whatever city we happen to be in. If there is a beach nearby, I'll find it! I use days off as a time to scope out the new city and find the best places to eat.
What instantly puts a smile on your face?
Seeing people I love laugh.
Name a dream role in another show you'd like to play someday…
I've become a fan of the new musical ONCE. I understudied Steve Kazee in one of my first professional jobs over 10 years ago at The Lost Colony. I just think it's great when artists get a chance to play an instrument in a show.
If you could trade lives with someone for one day, who would that person be and why?
I think it would be amazing to be the President for a day. It would just be interesting to find out what really goes on in the day-to-day of the government. I'm sure there is a lot we don't know about that goes on in the world on a daily basis.
If you weren't an actor, what other career do you see yourself doing?
I'm not exactly sure what else I would do if I wasn't an actor, but I'm sure it would be something more reliable and stable. I would want to be able to spend more time in one place with my family and enjoy a more quiet lifestyle.
Describe the most embarrassing moment that's happened to you during a show?
During the last revival of GREASE on Broadway, I had my nose broken during the finale! I was accidentally hit in the nose by someone's elbow during a dance break. Everything went black and I looked up and the whole audience was staring at me. It took me a moment to gather myself and I just continued to dance the rest of the show. People from the audience were staring at me funny. I didn't realize that I was bleeding from the top of my nose... I was really swollen. I think I was scaring some people!
And lastly, what has been your absolute favorite moment on stage so far?
I'm sure it will always be my Broadway debut. It was just such a big moment for me and the culmination of a lifelong dream. I remember someone telling me before I opened that I needed to be sure to take in the moment of stepping on that stage for the first time because it only happens once. I'm so glad that I did. It was truly a dream come true.
