Full Liquid Diet
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 79 year old father has had bladder cancer for 17 years. We have just been told that he will not survive until spring, and that he must be on a "full liquid diet". We want to keep him at home for as long as we can, but are having trouble finding full liquid diet suggestions. Can you please help me make his last weeks better with food suggestions? Thank you very much for your help.
Ellen Sweeney Cordes, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
A full liquid diet consists of foods and fluids that are liquid or liquefy at room temperature or body temperature. Foods allowed on this diet include milk, plain ice cream, strained cream soups, fruit and vegetable juices, hot cereals, plain puddings, pasteurized eggs, and all items on the clear liquid diet (i.e. clear juices, clear soda, broth, jell-o). The full liquid diet is used most often post-operatively as a progression between the clear liquid diet and solid food. It can also be provided to patients who are severely ill or who have difficulty swallowing and/or chewing solid foods. The diet consists of many milk or dairy products but can be modified to include lactose-free products for a lactose-intolerant person. A Full Liquid diet food list is below which may give you more ideas for foods to feed your father.
Foods Allowed
- Milk : milk, milk shkes, eggnog, instant breakfast, yogurt
- Meats and other Protein sources : cooked eggs, custards, egg substitutes, puddings, ice cream
- Breads, cereals, grains : refined cooked cereals such as farina and cream of wheat
- Vegetable and Fruits : Strained fruit juice or vegetable juice (no pulp), fruit nectars, pureed fruits (similar to baby food), mashed white potato diluted in cream soups
- Fats : Butter, cream, margarine
- Desserts : cornstarch puddings, custard, gelatin, plain ice cream, sherbet, fruit ice, plain frozen yogurt, popsicles
- Miscellaneous : carbonated beverages, cocoa, coffee, instant breakfast, Ensure, Boost, bouillon, broth, strained vegetable soup, strained cream soups with pureed meats, sugar, honey, syrup, hard candy.

As I opened my eyes, I was dizzy and confused; my familiar world was gone. My computer had disappeared, my bright desk lamp was now an oil lantern and the TV had vanished! As I tried to digest what I saw, it became clear. While holding the penny tightly and closing my eyes, I had traveled back in time. I didn't know if it was an overactive imagination or the traumatic experience of the Ferris wheel, but somehow, I had journeyed to 1909 – and had brought my family with me. I tried to reason how we had ended up in this era, but quickly decided that wasn't important.

Most real estate agents will advise their clients who are planning on purchasing a home to hire a home building inspector. A home inspector is a licensed and certified professional who visits the home prior to purchase and inspects it for any damages or problematic issues. A thorough home inspection can help save many inexperienced buyers from committing to a lifetime investment full of electrical issues, plumbing leaks and foundation problems.
Get Reliable Recommendations
When searching for a qualified home building inspector in your local area, it is best to seek advice from other recent home buyers who have used the same type of services in the past. Friends, family members or neighbors who have used a local home inspection company can advise you on which companies to avoid and which inspection teams provided them with quality results in a fast and efficient manner.
Find a Licensed and Certified Inspector
There are over 20,000 home inspectors located nationwide and, unfortunately, many states do not require home inspectors to be certified or licensed. Dealing with an inspector that does not have a state certification or license could lead to major problems down the road. Having a license requires continuing education and training. Always look for a professional who has valid certifications whether your state requires it or not.
Choose an Inspector Associated with Professional Inspection Affiliates
Try to find an inspector who is associated with professional inspection groups such as the National Institute of Building Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). These are some of the most reliable home inspectors in the industry. In order for an inspector to remain affiliated with one of these groups, they must pass their required education levels, meet current building code knowledge and continue to receive training related to changes in the home inspection industry.
Do Not Rely Only On Your Agent's Recommendations
While your real estate agent may be able to recommend several home inspectors, you should not simply take their word for which professional is the best. Agents and inspectors may have a financial incentive involved in their arrangement and your real estate agent's thoughtful suggestion may only be a hopeful sales pitch in the end. Use your own judgment when it comes to choosing the right person to inspect your home. Their evaluation will determine whether or not you should invest in the home, so you must do your own evaluation of their skills, knowledge and experience before you trust them to produce an accurate home inspection report.

This entire year is continuing to shine with improvement in all areas of the remodeling industry! The Residential Remodeling Index (RRI) is showing an increase with remodeling and replacement activity this month.
But before we get into this, what exactly is the Residential Remodeling Index?
The RRI is a quarterly measure of the level of remodeling activity in 366 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) in the U.S., along with the national composite reflecting the national level of activity. Home improvement and replacement projects are considered "activity", but maintenance or projects of less than $500 are not included. The seasonally adjusted index shows the relative level of activity in the geography specified (MSA or national composite) compared to 2007 (the baseline year). A number above 100 indicates a level of remodeling activity higher than the level of activity at the beginning of 2007, which was the peak of remodeling activity in the prior decade.
Each quarter, we are continuing to see a slow but steady improvement in the remodeling industry. Due to an increase in housing numbers in multiple markets, remodeling and replacement activity is beginning to rise and will most likely continue to improve for many upcoming quarters.
Although remodeling and replacement project activity has improved, it is only a slight improvement – so it may be early to start getting too excited. The seasonally adjusted second quarter national composite of the RRI (Residential Remodeling Index) registered an 80.87 score which is a 0.3% improvement over the first quarter. If the growth in remodeling activity continues, 2013 can prove to be the best year for remodeling activity since 2006! If that holds true, it would still be a very encouraging sign for the remodeling sector.
In 2011, the number of estimated remodeling and replacement projects was a little over 10 million, a 5% decline of the 10.5 million completed projects estimated in 2010. Yet for 2012, remodeling and replacement projects are predicted to be just over 10.1 million. And the news for 2013 is even better as 10.5 million projects are projected.
It's clear to see that along with new-construction activity, consumer confidence, and home prices rising, housing is finally showing signs of life again.
There are many reasons for the increase in demand such as aging housing stock and the resulting need for home improvement and upgrades by the baby boomer generation. With projects that have been postponed for several years due to the recession, it is hard to keep up with advancing technology and new trends. Also, existing homes need to be upgraded and improved in order to create a livable environment during retirement years. Installing radiant heating from WarmlyYours is among those upgrades; providing a warm, luxurious, and comfortable living space for those who are choosing to age-in-place.

i have been collecting and loving chenille blankets and crochet pieces for a long time,
and layered the room with these,
and sprinkled vintage treasures all around.....

from the porch, to use as a fun end table.

(on plain ol typing paper)
and taped them to the backs of the two frames made from molding.

I'm not sure what to use for the conductors.
I don't understand what they mean when they say Part A and Part B. Isn't it just one product?
EDIT: Also, If I had a RepRap, could I not just print a 3-d Plastic mold and then just pour it in there?
Those black rings you see on the part from SparkFun are likely the conductors - generally they are carbon-impregnated rubber (not sure where or if you can easily buy that - but I bet some googling would turn up something). You mainly want something that isn't going to corrode or degrade over time. You might be able to make your own by following something like this:http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Conductive-Glue-and-Glue-a-Circuit/http://www.inklesspress.com/conductive_glue.htm
Oh thats true, although every time you press a button, you'd hear a "clink" noise and it would be a lot heavier, wouldn't it?
Would I just glue them on?GORILLA GLUE!
Yea, I'm just trying to get ideas. I've never done this either.

In the next two weeks, Abe Storey is aiming to launch his latest startup, an email product called Lock Up Mail.
He's on a self-imposed time crunch, because after that, he's starting his junior year of high school.
"In its most simple form, locked Up Mail is two things. One, it's super secure email. The other is a new authentication system," Storey told Business Insider.
The San Francisco-based 16-year-old explained how both will work.
When you sign up for Locked Up Mail, you do so with a username and password, just like Gmail, Yahoo, or any other email service. Then Locked Up Mail sends you a QR code image, which Storey says will self delete after 10 minutes. That's the difference between Locked Up Mail and the others: You need that QR code to get into your email account.
He says he initially thought about trying to be an add-on for Gmail, where Locked Up Mail would easily supply a long, hard-to-crack password for your Gmail account. The problem, he said, is though your password would be harder for a computer to crack, with only one form of authentication, it's still just as easy to steal.
Storey says Locked Up Mail will allow users to choose how often they need to scan their QR code with their phone or computer camera. He suggested putting the service on a timer — as in every 4 hours — or requiring it every time you log out. He knows users won't want to do it all the time, but also knows it will make for maximum email security.
You can sign up for the viral waiting list here.
He says though he can program, it's not his strenghts. Instead, he likes to focus on growing his ideas and developing products. To do that, he's formed solid teams.
In 2013 he entered a Santa Barbara startup weekend with a teacher, and their "Uber for moving" idea, called Next Mover, won the competition, along with $US55,000 for funding. Being from San Francisco, Storey was a little too far away and a little too busy to take on Next Mover full time.
His second project, retentiontab.com, he made with his current Locked Up Mail partner, Kevin Davies, a programmer from New Zealand. That project was for online retailers to stop shoppers from getting distracted with Facebook and other sites. He said he abandoned that one because it seemed too spammy.
With launch around the corner, Storey certainly isn't thinking about quitting his newest venture, but he is thinking about what's next. It could be bigger than email.
"Email is a starting place for us. We're going to play it by ear," Storey said. "Ideally I think it'd be really interesting for banks."

Nutritionists might be pleased to hear more Americans are eating breakfast. That is, until they read what's on the menu.
Sales of breakfast foods grew nearly 20% between 2007 and 2011, jumping almost 7% last year — an increase that seems to be due to consumers' appetite for pastries and bacon, according to a recent study by market research firm Mintel.
Sales of breakfast meats grew nearly 10% in 2011, while sweet breakfast breads and pastries gained more than 5%. Together, the categories account for about 80% of the breakfast food market.
Although doctors and dietitians promote the morning meal as a healthy start to the day, experts say consumers aren't eating a breakfast of champions. "It's very hard to say whether it's better to not eat breakfast or to eat bacon and doughnuts," says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group that has lobbied against high-fat and high-sugar diets. "This is not good news for Americans' diets and health."
But what makes Danishes and breakfast sausages so unhealthy — high levels of saturated fat, sodium and sugar — might also make them irresistible to consumers. When McDonald's reported better than expected November revenue this week, the chain credited strong sales of its breakfast foods — a menu that includes the 1,090-calorie Big Breakfast With Hotcakes (biscuit included) — which now account for a fifth of its business.
"There is a tug of war in the American psyche going on — people want to eat healthier but taste is always important," says John Frank, manager of the food and drink category for Mintel.
While eating upon waking has proven health benefits — people who skip the meal experience diminished mental performance, consume more sweets and soda and eat fewer veggies — analysts say much of the growth in breakfast consumption may not be happening in the morning at all. More than half of consumers say they eat breakfast foods for dinner, while 40% say they eat them for dessert, according to Mintel. Wootan recommends people do the exact opposite and incorporate more fruit and vegetables into every meal: "It would be better if you try to eat dinner foods for breakfast," she says.
(Consumers are also drinking less milk — 3% fewer gallons last year than in 2010, and 30% less than they did in 1975, The Wall Street Journal reported this week. (See "America's Milk Business in Crisis".)

To be sure, many consumers are expressing a desire for healthier breakfast options, according to the Mintel survey, and companies and restaurants are catering to them. The sale of pastries may be up because brands are increasingly making miniature (and lower-calorie) versions of their doughnuts, muffins and bagels, Frank says. A McDonald's spokesperson says the company has also been pushing lighter, under-300-calorie breakfast options such as a fruit and yogurt parfait, and that it's testing an egg-white breakfast sandwich in some markets.
Indeed, the number of restaurant menu items containing turkey bacon, a leaner variation on the original, more than tripled between 2009 and 2012, Mintel found. But real bacon, fat and all, remains the top breakfast choice, with menu dishes featuring the ingredient increasing more than 19% over the same time period. Bacon sales are sizzling at natural supermarkets too, where they rose 62% between 2009 and 2011.
Interestingly, people who try to eat healthy may be the least likely to enjoy the supposedly "most important meal of the day": Mintel's study found that only a fraction of health-minded consumers buy breakfast food at all.

When it comes to directory submission I usually don't do it by the masses, but when I need to I can always rely on SubmitEaze. Version 8 has just been launched and there is no secret about this program, it just works like it should and can get very profitable if used properly. I think we can all agree how much submitting to directories sucks the big one, so any sort of automation is good in my books.
So what's new with version 8? The one major feature that I should get out there first is its new "Turbo Submitting" feature which employs a browser-less interface, and instead displays the submission form as part of the graphical user interface. SubmitEaze can now submit to directories faster than before, but keep in mind that too many links too quickly will get you penalized in Google….so be a smart submitter. Here's a look at the graphical interface;
SubmitEaze also now submits to over 4000 free directories, so remember to stick to ones within your niche because quality links is what counts. Version 8 also submits to article directories which helps kill two birds with one stone. Also on that note you can randomize titles and descriptions and anchor text which should all help make sure you have profitable SERP results by doing it the right way.

How Steve Jobs gets things done
Brilliant, iconic, visionary, yes. But buzzwords aside, understanding Steve Jobs' success requires breaking it down. Like this.
By Bill Conaty and Ram Charan, contributors
If businesses managed their money as carelessly as they manage their people, most would be bankrupt.
The great majority of companies that control their finances masterfully have no comparable processes for developing their leaders or even pinpointing which ones to develop. While they're disciplined and vigilant on the financial side, their efforts around recruiting, assessing, and developing leaders lack rigor. They depend on checklists of vague cliches such as "strategic," "innovative," "great communicator," "very bright," "analytic," or "intuitive" and settle for superficial impressions. Consequently their talent management remains hit-or-miss. These are the companies that wake up some morning suddenly realizing they need a new CEO but don't know where to start looking. More pervasively, by repeatedly putting the wrong people into the wrong jobs, they waste both human and financial capital when those people don't perform.
Talent masters such as GE (GE), P&G, Hindustan Unilever, Novartis, and Agilent dig deeper to understand an individual's talents. They are keen observers of people, and they have discipline and expertise, honed over many years, to turn observation into verifiable fact. They develop intimacy with their leaders, meaning they understand each leader's unique combination of talents in specific terms. That arms them with the insight they need to make good decisions about where each leader will excel.
An exercise in a course at Wharton's advanced management program exposes the futility of the buzzword descriptors many companies use. The instructor at a recent session asked the participants to explain Steve Jobs's distinguishing talent. Put aside his controversial personality and behaviors for the moment, the instructor advised. What we want to know is why he has beaten all expectations in his second act at Apple (AAPL). (Including his own; when Apple's market value overtook Microsoft's (MSFT) in June 2010, Jobs called the development "surreal.") In the dozen years since he reclaimed the failing company, he has turned it into a hard- driving, cash-generating machine. He doesn't just develop new products; he changes games. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad, along with iTunes, have created massive disruptions, forcing players in the music and telecom industries—among others—to change their business models.
There's enough information available about the way Jobs thinks, behaves, and makes decisions that anyone who cared to could assess his real talent in several dimensions and describe it in clear language with specificity and nuance. Most people don't even try.
When the instructor at Wharton asks participants the question about what Jobs's talent is, hands shoot up all over the room. He's creative, innovative, entrepreneurial; he's a master of communication; he breaks the paradigm, creates new businesses; he changes the game of other people. After a couple of minutes the instructor calls a halt. "You can't do it in buzzwords," he says. "To really define a person's talent, you need to express your full thought about a human being in whole sentences with nuances that are specific to that person.
And you have to get the information by closely observing the person's actions, decisions, and patterns of behavior." He shows the way by asking some probing questions. "How is he creative?" Somebody replies, "He figures out what will be a great product." Okay, but how does he do that? "He interacts with consumers." Fine, but how does he interact with consumers? Somebody has read that he hangs out with young people. Another observes that he is always looking for upcoming technologies ahead of others. Still no cigar.
The instructor next gives the executives information they can use to drill down and get to the real nature of Steve Jobs's talent. For starters, they hear a tale from one Apple director about the special board meeting held after Jobs accepted the post. Jobs walked up to the wall of the conference room where Apple's roughly two dozen current products were on display and began taking them down, one at a time. When he was done, only four were left. Those were the ones, he said, that would give Apple new life by differentiating it in the marketplace.
The story provided two observable and verifiable facts about Jobs: he understands what appeals to customers, and he acts decisively. Now the instructor asks people to explain what the creation of the iPod reveals about his talent. The first replies from the group point to his grasp of technology. But the technology already existed, someone else notes — other people were making MP3 players. The discussion that follows leads to a more meaningful conclusion: the success of the iPod was the result of a great insight coupled with brilliant execution. At the time, Napster had created an uproar in the market for recorded music with its file-sharing service that allowed users to swap downloaded MP3 files with each other. Napster's game was ultimately found illegal (it was essentially based on theft), but Jobs saw that the technology could create a legal market by ensuring the music industry a stream of revenues. And the market would be huge — a new social phenomenon, in fact — because it would liberate music lovers by enabling them to make their own buying choices legally and affordably, at any time, in any quantity. Then he created a product that was so easy to use and stylish that he could sell it at a high price, with fat margins. And we all know the rest of the story. By far the bestselling MP3 player ever, the iPod lifted the Apple brand to unprecedented heights, giving Mac sales a boost and re-establishing the company's reputation as a leader in innovation.
Drilling further, the instructor brings out another important observable fact. Jobs spends almost all his time internally with roughly a hundred experts in software, hardware, design, and the technologies of metal, plastic, and glass.
Every Monday morning he brings them together to review products and the challenges of designing and executing them. It's one of his social processes for connecting multiple disciplines to create compelling products, and he's been doing it rigorously for a dozen years. Four hours a week, fifty weeks a year, for twelve years equals 2,400 hours spent building mental and relationship capital by connecting the newest ideas of diverse brilliant and passionate minds. It's the kind of approach that turns an athletic team into an unsurpassed champion. Jobs is one of the few CEOs with such a disciplined practice of connecting the dots.
Now the discussion gets rolling in earnest as the class begins piecing together the specific traits that define his genius. Somebody says, "So that's the real process of connecting with the customers, through his own mind and expertise." Somebody else raises her hand and says, "It's interesting that more than once he was able to identify an opportunity others didn't see." Another person: "It's more than that — he creates opportunities, like the iPhone."
Aha, the iPhone. What did he really do that has made it such a phenomenon? "He broke the paradigm." What does that mean? "He was able to figure out a new business model." Now eyes are lighting up. Until that point, the margins and brands of handset makers were controlled by the carriers. It not only won Apple the largest share of the smart-phone market but also generated new revenue streams enjoyed by no other phone maker. Jobs produced the most functional and elegant handset ever. Always tremendously protective of his brand and margins, he gave the iPhone to one carrier exclusively, AT&T (T). In exchange, Apple got the price it wanted and — for the first time in telecom history — a share of the carrier's revenue from the usage of a phone (supported by the higher rates users paid for their service). This was groundbreaking. Finally, it made money on the sale of its countless applications. Most of the new revenue streams flow straight to the bottom line, producing cash every day and making the iPhone Apple's biggest moneymaker. Jobs's verifiable action shows not only his business acumen but also the audacity and courage he exercised to reverse the power balance between a mighty carrier and a lowly handset supplier.
Calibrating Steve Jobs
What does deconstructing Jobs have to do with developing talent? Just this: the Wharton exercise mirrors on a small scale what talent masters do, which is to develop precision of observation, thought, and expression. Working with the instructor, the class wrapped up its exercise with this concise summary:
Steve Jobs's natural talent is to imagine not only what consumers want now but also what they will want in the future — and pay a premium price for. He searches for discontinuities in the external landscape. He figures out trajectories of new opportunities. Then he conceives and executes not only differentiated products that yield high margin and high brand recognition, but also business models that will exploit them most profitably.
He views a product as an experience, not just an object. He can visualize what it will look and feel like, and can then execute it to near perfection. He makes advanced technology friendly to consumers based on his uncommon talent for connecting it to user experience. He has an innate feel for design, convenience, simplicity, and elegance in the product. He connects the best ideas from widely diverse disciplines to create the consumer experience he's striving for. He figures out precisely what problems need to be solved, however impossible they may seem, and searches for the best people to solve them, regardless of their status.
He is a master of communications. He crafts simple messages that connect with audiences, leveraging his record of innovation to create buzz and build demand for a new product even before it is launched. He relates with consumers, employees, and partners, and turns them into rabid fans. He builds their trust in him, in Apple, and in the Apple brand.
This is the kind of insight talent masters drive for, and knowing their people's core talents, they then search for jobs that are the right fit, creating a job if they have to. They do this repeatedly, passionately, even obsessively, day in, day out, not just once or twice a year. They make spotting and developing talent part of every leader's job, and they work hard at it. They spend a huge amount of time and energy on people because they understand a fundamental truth: It is people who ultimately deliver the numbers. If they miss the people part, it's just a matter of time before they'll miss the numbers.

State says police shooting of Salem man near burning home was justified
New London State's Attorney Michael L. Regan has found that State Trooper Patrick Hawes was justified in shooting Salem resident Robert Bergeson in June 2013 after Bergeson, who had set fire to his Witter Road home, charged the trooper with a piece of wood in his hand.
In a report released Tuesday by the Division of Criminal Justice, Regan wrote that Hawes, a seven-year state police veteran with a clean personnel record and up-to-date firearms training, "reasonably believed that the use of deadly physical force was necessary to defend himself and others from the use of deadly physical force."
Hawes shot the 59-year-old after Bergeson, who was standing in a field and yelling obscenities, failed to comply with Hawes' commands and advanced in an aggressive and threatening manner toward Hawes and Trooper Kristin Coit with a piece of wood, according to the report. The troopers had been told that Hawes might have a gun.
The piece of wood, recovered in the blood-stained grass during the investigation of the shooting, was approximately 2 inches wide and 23 inches long, according to the report.
"As Bergeson closed the distance between himself and the troopers, Trooper Hawes, in that split second, reasonably believed he had no other alternative but to use deadly force," Regan wrote in the report. "The use of deadly force was, therefore, appropriate."
A state medical examiner ruled that Bergeson died of three gunshot wounds to the torso and left arm. He had no significant amounts of drugs or alcohol in his system when he died.
Bergeson, who had retired from Pfizer Inc., had recently gone through a divorce and had told his ex-wife, Gale Bergeson, that he would burn the house down so that she would not get it in the final divorce settlement, according to witnesses. Bergeson had been arrested four times for domestic violence incidents and had been released from prison 12 days before the June 18 shooting after serving 30 days for second-degree harassment.
New London attorney Robert I. Reardon Jr., who is representing Bergeson's estate and seeking permission from the state claims commissioner to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the state police, said the shooting does not appear justified.
"I don't know how State's Attorney Regan can possibly conclude that a person standing in the middle of a field with a stick in his hand was exposing the troopers to deadly force," Reardon said. "We don't engage in the shooting of people who engage in domestic violence or burn their house down."
Reardon said that based on the report, it was clear that Bergeson was suffering from mental illness at the time of his death. After his release from prison, he had been ordered to undergo counseling as a condition of probation. He was scheduled to meet with his probation officer for the first time on June 20.
Interviewed during the investigation, Hawes, who was the resident state trooper of East Haddam, said he and Coit were in the resident trooper's office when Coit was dispatched to the Salem address for a fire. Coit asked Hawes to go with her because of the long history of violence at the Bergeson home, according to the report.
Arriving at the scene, Hawes said a fire policewoman who was helping to keep the road closed came toward him yelling, "Cops, cops, cops." She told them, "There is a guy out in the field, he's screaming and he has a gun," Hawes said.
He drew his gun as he and Coit went into the field where the man, who had a golden retriever with him, was pacing back and forth and flailing his arms. Hawes said the man told them, "You'll never take me back to jail," and cursed at Hawes in response to his commands.
Hawes said the man was about 30 feet away when he raised the piece of lumber over his head and advanced. Hawes said he thought the man was too far away to use a Taser on, and he didn't think it would penetrate his heavy clothes. He said he thought if the man got within 21 feet, the man could kill him with the lumber, so he fired the first shot when he got that close. The man kept advancing, and Hawes said he continued to fire — he didn't know how many times — until the man fell to the ground.
Hawes said he handcuffed him and rolled him over in a first-aid recovery position, and Coit called for a paramedic. The investigators recovered four shell casings at the scene.
The investigators interviewed witnesses to the shooting and recovered video footage of the shooting from two fire reconstruction contractors. Reardon said he would be deposing the two troopers and other witnesses in the next two months.
Bergeson's two adult children are his beneficiaries, according to Reardon. He died without a will, and attorney Anthony Basilica has been appointed administrator of the case by the probate court.

St. Luke Hospital earns trauma center distinction
Staff writer
St. Luke Hospital received a Level IV Trauma Center designation from Kansas Department of Health and Environment. St. Luke received the distinction through the Kansas Trauma Program, in which participation is optional.
Level IV is the lowest ranking of four trauma level designations. It indicates a rural hospital whose primary role is to stabilize injured patients and transfer them to higher-level facilities if necessary.
To obtain the designation, the hospital's nurses and care providers were required to receive additional trauma care education, CEO Jeremy Ensey said. He added that the hospital meets to review its treatment of each trauma patient to discuss how the patient was cared for. Before, Ensey said, the hospital did so on an informal basis, but now it does so officially.
"The overall appeal of the program was to know we're improving our care of trauma patients here in Marion County," Ensey said. "Obviously we have a very rural population. With a rural population you have a lot of accidents."
Molly Smith is St. Luke's trauma program manager. Ensey appointed her in January with a trauma level designation in mind.
"She worked in the emergency room at St. Francis, so she has a lot of good trauma care experience," Ensey said. "She deserves all the credit."
Initially the project, launched in 2006, included only three levels of distinction; the fourth level was added in 2012.
"With this designation, we're partnering with the state, we're looking at performance improvement, we're looking at provider education," Ensey said.
St. Luke is the 29th hospital in Kansas to receive a Level IV designation, and the only one within Marion County and the six surrounding counties to feature a trauma designation of any level.
He added that other care facilities in the area are likely to soon pursue a designation, saying he has discussed the idea with other area care facility administrators.

MPI + VFIO on InsideHPC slidecast
Welcome to 2012! I'm finally about caught up from the Christmas holidays, last week's travel to the MPI Forum, etc. It's time to finally get my blogging back on.
Let's start with a short one…
Rich Brueckner from InsideHPC interviewed me right before the Christmas break about the low Ethernet MPI latency demo that I gave at SC'11. I blogged about this stuff before, but in the slidecast that Rich posted, I provide a bit more detail about how this technology works.
Remember that this is Cisco's 1st generation virtualized NIC; our 2nd generation is coming "soon," and will have significantly lower MPI latency (I hate being fuzzy and not quoting the exact numbers, but the product is not yet released, so I can't comment on it yet. I'll post the numbers when the product is actually available).
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Get detailed details about Boyce and its academic offerings, consisting of the latest viewbook. Although Truman College Libary is a place to take the optional test, admission to any education program requires the death of a basic skills exam.
The Truman College of Education offers our pals & alumni chances to come together and find ways to contribute to the community. Students might formally declare a Significant in Education at any time. Nevertheless, continued development through the Significant and its options depends upon conference course requirements, demonstrating proficiency in the content of the topic taught in Elementary schools, as well as the Teacher Preparation Program Choice Points.
Students are responsible for costs connected with required criminal history record information (fingerprinting) and background checks for field placement websites. Students are responsible for paying charges related to the application to Educator Preparation and once admitted, for a Tk20 account. Tk20 is a program utilized for information management for accreditation functions.
The precision of the info offered in the Guide and on these websites. However since State rules might alter with brief notification, we occasionally have to revise policies, requirements, and programs. As we make those modifications, we assure to work closely with candidates to keep them on track towards graduation.
Degree requirements might go beyond 120 credits, depending upon the choice of liberal arts major. I have loved Mathematics considering that high school and knew I wanted to teach. I got in Keene looking at the Elementary Education program, discovered the great Elementary Mathematics alternative, and haven't looked back because!
Educational research suggests that the principal of a school is vital in developing a quality educational program for the obstacles of today's society. The management necessary for quality school administration calls for a different preparation. Essential to the program is the emphasis on a shared objective and vision for the school. The goal and vision are established in partnership with the school community and are implemented by the administration, professors, and personnel of the school. Trainees in the program experience collective interactions with teachers, knowledgeable school administrators in both personal and public schools, and their colleagues in a range of classes, workshops and field work chances.
Certification standards are extensive, and the procedures can be intricate. Overview of Instructor Certification is developed to help our candidates accomplish the requirements and resolve program requirements with self-confidence. We likewise motivate all prospects interested in instructor education.

Ryu and Ken. Ken and Ryu. Street Fighter's eternal rivals have been punching and kicking each other for 25 years now. Lots of fan films (and professional ones) have been made about the fighting game series but their real-life versions of their bouts have rarely looked this good.
The filmmakers behind Fractured Illusion offered a teaser of their work a few months ago but now that it's finally out, you can see that it looks even better than expected. The fight choreography is quick and convincing and the actors' movements manage to successfully channel some of the SF games' classic appeal. Pretty good stuff right here.

[Uniquement en anglais] Procedure for the eventual deletion from the World Heritage List of properties in case of deterioration leading to the loss of the characteristic which determined their inclusion (Document CC-79/CONF.003/10)
[Uniquement en anglais]
The document on this item which proposed a procedure with respect to the deletion of properties from the World Heritage List was introduced by Mr. Bolla who drew attention to the different stages in the proposed procedure. A wide exchange of ideas ensued, during which several participants expressed the hope that the State Party on whose territory the property was located would inform the Secretariat of the Committee if any property inscribed on the List had seriously deteriorated and others drew attention to the obligation contracted by the States Parties under the Convention to properly preserve the properties entered on the List.

The incredible drive along historic Skippers Canyon Road
Protected by the NZ Heritage Places Trust, the road into Skippers Canyon built in the late 1880's, is an engineering marvel.
1 / 4
The Gold Rush
Once gold was discovered at Arthurs Point one sunny Sunday afternoon in 1862, Miners flocked to the area and undertook crazy and incredible journey's to reach the gold in Skippers Canyon.
The extremely difficult access to the upper Shotover River created an urgent demand for formed tracks, and in 1863 a man by the name of Armstrong constructed a pack trail from Arthurs Point, up through Coronet Saddle and down Long Gully to Maori Point. This old pack trail is recognised as one of the most scenic MTB rides in New Zealand – and probably one of the most interesting!
Armstrong's Pack Trail was used for over twenty years until the Skippers Road was opened in 1888. The road is an amazing engineering feat, and today remains substantially unchanged from the earliest days. Taking only five years to build, four different contractors were used on different sections of the road. From a technological perspective, the road is of outstanding significance. It is first and foremost, a remarkable structural feat. It's also celebrated for its magnificent setting and the role it plays in the environment. Impact on the landscape has been minimal, but the road's impact was massive in terms of cultural & economic significance and is carved into NZ lore for its role in mining, farming and tourism heritage. The New Zealand Historic Places Trust recognises that "Skippers Road is an iconic New Zealand road of outstanding heritage significance".
Road Construction
Some of the sections are truly extraordinary, particularly those that required constructing the road through sheer rock, including the 3km Pinchers Bluff & Devils Elbow section. This involved the removal of an entire portion of rock wall known as the Zig-Zag which overhung the river to create a rock platform wide enough for vehicles. Aptly called by the constructors' nickname, the road was "at a tight pinch" for heavy wagons drawn by 6 horses. The magnitude of the achievement of Pincher and his men with picks, shovels and hand drills is almost unbelievable. The workforce included a number of Cantonese workers, supplementing their income from mining in the area. It was often these Chinese workers who were lowered on ropes from the cliff-top, to hand drill the holes for the explosives or chisel rock away. Some portions required substantial dry stone revetting to support the road from beneath, which in one case may have been to prop up the road platform where workers accidentally blew up the foundations! Accidents were common and lives were lost.
Working Octogenarians
Naturally there are many wonderfully colourful characters, and fascinating stories of their lives in the "Golden Canyon" to be told. One of the best known and most spectacular of the folks associated with the road was Julien Bourdeau, a French Canadian who had his stores depot at Junction Corner (better known today as Coronet Peak turnoff). Goods from Queenstown would be delivered to the store where they were broken down into smaller lots suitable for pack horses to carry. Bourdeau was a man of legendary strength who apparently suffered little inconvenience from the weather, always being seen with his shirt open, hairy chest and face bare to the elements. He carried goods, mail and later on early "tourists", into the Canyon twice a week for twenty years before the road was constructed. After the road was finished Bourdeau's service continued; he could often get his pack horses, equipped with iron spiked shoes through mud, slips and snow where wheeled vehicles would become immovably bogged in the torturous and dangerous winters. Literate and voluble in French though not in English - the pack horses understood apparently and luckily the ladies of the area, did not. He plied his trade for 54 years, dying in 1916 aged 86 after going for a rest after completing another run into his Skippers Store near Burkes Terrace. Remarkably, the Mayor of Queenstown received a letter from Bordeau's parents in 1917 asking why their son's letters had stopped?
Bordeau was not the only working Octogenarian. Believe it or not, there were many well known inhabitants of the Canyon who lived and worked well into their eighties! It was commonly held that if a person survived the first twenty years, they'd be good for at least another sixty!
Early Tourism
The first hotel, McArthur's, was built in Long Gully in 1863 adjoining the old track on the eastern side. It was closed in 1888 when Sarah & Harry "Charlie" Lewis opened the Welcome Home Inn, on the new road. Pioneer tourists came by wagonette from Queenstown to have cups of tea, local introductions, and "Mrs Lewis' extremely fine dinners". Some stayed overnight. Day trips to Mt Aurum Station by wagon drawn by 4 or 5 horses were also popular. It took an average of 5 hours to get into the Station where the horses were changed for the return journey. There was an average of around 8 tourism coaches on the road each day.
The Lake Wakatipu Mail wrote:
SKIPPERS. Is a wild and romantic mining district, about twenty miles from Queenstown, from which place the trip to Skippers is considered the premier excursion for tourists, daily trips being made, leaving at 8am and returning at 6pm, the mode of conveyance being by coach, each comfortably accommodating ten passengers, all box seats, thus ensuring an uninterrupted view. The return fare, including morning tea and luncheon, is 19 shillings.
The first car drove over the road illegally in 1912. Bikes were prohibited until 1896, and motor traffic until 1907. From 1918 a concession was made to allow motor vehicles between 7pm and 8am and this remained right through until 1926.
A modern claim to fame for the Canyon is as a Tolkien Gateway. Skippers has appeared in Lord of the Rings movies as the River Bruinen (Loudwater) where Frodo makes his stand defing the Witch-King Gangmar, on the way to Rivendell. Gandolf the Grey releases a great flood which takes the form of horses made out of water which defeats the Black Riders at the Ford of Bruinen.
Rental cars are NOT insured to drive on this road. It's a much better idea to leave the driving to a professional and sit back and enjoy the sights and hear the stories from a knowledgeable guide.
Family Adventures offers a great sightseeing and soft adventure trip by bus/van and raft which is suitable for everyone from 3 years old. See the spectacular road for yourself, and then take to the river at Ford of Bruinen for a gentle float trip on the upper Shotover River. This section of the river is very quiet and is rated as only grade 1 & 2. The raft provides incredible access to mining relics and wonderful spots that are inaccessible other than from the River. There is of course water fun for those who want it, but the raft trip itself is gentle and is not an adrenaline activity!

I have an ASUS ROG, it's about 2-3 years old. I have no issues with it generally.
Lately when I turn it on it shows the "Republic of Gamers" logo screen for a second (as it should) and then the screen would suddenly appear either all vertical striped or one thin line around the top third of the screen, then after a second the screen would turn off. The computer might still seem like it's working but it would never actually turn on again. What I then do is press and hold the power button for a couple of seconds until it shuts off, and when I boot it up again - everything's fine.
This doesn't happen all the time, but maybe 70% of the time. The second time in a row I turn it on always works out fine.
It used to be pretty much constantly connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and I never turned it off, so I don't know when this issue might have started, and I've had trouble finding other people with similar issues.
Laptop doesn't turn on (but on reset - fine!)

A LaFollette man and a Jacksboro couple were killed and three others injured in a two-vehicle crash Christmas Eve in Campbell County.
Tennessee Highway Patrol reports said 19-year-old Joshua Peavley of LaFollette and 59-year-old Gary Mefford and 63-year-old Brenda Mefford of Jacksboro were killed in the 5:24 p.m. Monday crash.
Records said Peavley was driving a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck west on General Carl Stiner Highway in LaFollette around 5:24 p.m. when his truck crossed the center line and hit nearly head-on a Buick LeSabre Gary Mefford was driving. Brenda Mefford was the front seat passenger.
The pickup truck reportedly caught fire after the initial impact. All three died at the scene, reports said.
Other passengers in Mefford's car were 57-year-old Phillip Lee and 5-year-old Alexandria Conley, both of Jacksboro, and 17-year-old Joshua Ivey of Caryville.
Reports indicate the three passengers were injured, but the extent of their injuries was not reported.
Records said none of the adult occupants were wearing seatbelts and, although the child was in a restraint device, it was not properly used.
Trooper Larry Skeen reported seat belt used would have made a difference.

After Paris, New York and Los Angeles, the first full-scale American museum survey of the work of artist Kara Walker (b. 1969, Stockton, California) is on view in Texas. The controversial but fascinating show features works ranging from her signature black-paper silhouettes to film animations to more than 100 works on paper.
Kara Walker is among the most complex and prolific American artists of her generation. Over the past decade, she has gained national and international recognition for her room-size tableaux depicting historical narratives haunted by sexuality, violence, and subjugation but made using the genteel 18th-century art of cut-paper silhouettes. Set in the American South before the Civil War, Walker's compositions play off stereotypes to portray, often grotesquely, life on the plantation, where masters and mistresses and slave men, women, and children enact a subverted version of the past in an attempt to reconfigure their status and representation. Walker's art tends to evoke strong reactions or utter silence on the part of the viewer.Over the years the artist has used drawing, painting, light projections, writing, shadow puppetry, and, most recently, film animation to narrate her tales of romance and oppression, desire and sexuality, power and liberation. These scenarios thwart conventional readings of a cohesive national history and expose the collective and ongoing psychological injury caused by the tragic legacy of slavery. That said, in some instances, Walker's work reveals more about Walker's own psychic constellation and perceptions relative to America's odious history of slavery and racism than it does about guilt, desire, fear, race and class in contemporary America. Still, as an examination of racial and gender stereotypes that continue to haunt the American psyche, the show is a must. "The black subject in the present tense is the container for specific pathologies from the past." says the artist, "and it is continuously growing and feeding off those maladies."

Bruce Bauer, MD, NorthShore University HealthSytem's (NorthShore) head of Plastic Surgery grew up in a family that nurtured both his medical interests and his artistic talents. An internationally recognized expert in pediatric reconstructive surgery, Dr. Bauer is not only changing the lives of his patients every day through his medical expertise – he also uses his talent as an artist specializing in handcrafted jewelry.
Dr. Bauer's unique ability to think and see in three dimensions will soon be on display in another forum outside of the operating room – as an emerging artist at the American Craft Exposition (ACE), August 22-25, 2013 at the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion in Evanston (2311 Campus Drive, Evanston, Illinois 60208).
This juried, three-day exhibition and sale of fine craft includes one-of-a-kind pieces, luxury collections and uniquely creative artwork from the country's leading artists, showcasing new achievements in jewelry, ceramics, metal, fashion wearables, glass, furniture, fiber decorative, leather, wood, mixed media and baskets.
Put on by The Auxiliary of NorthShore at Evanston & Glenbrook Hospitals, ACE is the only volunteer-produced Exposition of its caliber in the country with more than 100 volunteers working year-round to present this amazing show. It will be the first show Dr. Bauer has ever exhibited in and one of great pride as all funds raised benefit ovarian cancer research at NorthShore. This is the first time in ACE's history that a NorthShore physician has participated as an artist.
While Dr. Bauer has long had an interest in creating jewelry, he set his sights on applying to the prestigious juried show last year and began spending more time and energy in his home studio. "My wife and I have been going to ACE for years. I'm thrilled to be invited; it's very exciting to pick this as the first show I've ever applied to. My creative energy has been tremendous lately," he said.
Dr. Bauer's work is sculptural and reflects his sense of wonder with the natural world, and an interest in Asian arts. A recently finished piece includes a crane he carved from a 100-year-old walrus tusk.
ACE returns to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion on Northwestern University's Evanston Campus, Thursday, August 22 with a Collectors' Hour from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. followed by a Benefit Preview Party from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. The Show runs throughout the weekend: Friday, August 23, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, August 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, August 25, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $15 for a three-day pass or $13 when purchased in advance online. For more information or to make a donation, please visit americancraftexpo.org or call (224) 364-7270.

Bruce's father, Frank Judson Hildreth, left the family when Bruce was only about 18 months old. He went to live with his Aunt Jane Tobey Coon and her husband Charlie Coon since his mother had to go to work and couldn't take care of her two small children. Bruce had many fond memories of Charlie and never forgot him. Charlie died when Bruce was about 8 years old so he went to live with his grandparents Charles and Theresa Tobey on their farm in Pony Hollow, New York. His brother Jerry already was living with them so at least the brothers were able to grow up together until they were in junior high when they went back to Elmira to live with their mother.
Bruce graduated from Southside High School in Elmira and from the University of Buffalo with a degree in physics and mechanical engineering. He worked in different industries, until retiring from Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan. His career moves took the family from Buffalo, New York, to Wallingford, Connecticut, Willingboro, New Jersey, and finally Livonia, Michigan. He retired to Simpsonvile, South Carolina where he died in 1990.
