Excellence Series: Achieving Results Without Authority
Date and TimeThursday, September 20, 2012
- Kirkhof Center » RM 2215/2216
Faculty and Staff register at www.gvsu.edu/seminar
Workshop presented by Beverly Washington, Trainer
Gain the support and cooperation of others to increase your personal effectiveness.
Do you have lots of responsibility but little real authority? Here's the truth: Like most people in today's workplace, you probably don't have the "position power" needed to accomplish what's expected of you. What you are able to accomplish is directly related to your ability to build strong relationships, win cooperation, and exert influence on others up and down the organization. Succeeding in this demanding environment requires skills you didn't learn in school. The good news is you can gain the abilities you need by attending this information-packed seminar.
This session includes discussion of the following:
· Strategies for achieving goals even if you don't have position power
· Ways to build rapport that nurtures strong office relationships
· Discovering ways to get support and cooperation from managers and peers throughout the organization
· How to project confidence and competence without coming across as a know-it-all
· Identifying strengths and weaknesses in yourself and others
· Discovering ways to fine-tune your verbal and non-verbal communication skills
· How to eliminate behaviors that steal your personal power
· How to use conflict-resolution tools to build consensus on work teams
If you need special accommodations, please contact Human Resources at email@example.com or call 616-331-2215.

An Oldham reader asks a simple question which is difficult to answer – where near Manchester can children gather a fair variety of flowers? It is mid-June, and there are flowers everywhere in variety and abundance just beyond the regions of brick and mortar; a short train or tram journey and the field and lanes are reached, and there are the flowers. Fields by the rivers Mersey, Bollin, or even Irwell, lanes in the Pennine foothills, the moors above them, the pastures and dales of Derbyshire, all have their characteristic and plentiful floras. The full foliage has lost its spring freshness, even the yellow tint of youth is fading on the oak; summer's maturity is deepening greens, replacing the delicate shades or bright gloss of adolescence. Some of the spring flowers have vanished, many of the autumn blossoms are not yet in bud, but the summer flowers – typical of maturity, like youths and maidens who have left youth behind – are everywhere. When grass is short and undergrowth scanty in wood and lane the first spring flowers are very noticeable but now, in wealth of summer leafage, indeed in their very abundance, we fail to appreciate the increase. Look at the grass field, where the oxeyes tower above the spurreys, buttercups, clovers, and flowering grasses themselves; look in the woods at the bugle and forget-me-not; on the short turf of the hillside, at the eyebrights, milkworts, cinquefoils, pansies, bedstraws, and saxifrages; at the nodding avens, hogweed, chervil, and ranunculus in the ditch; at the blue veronicas on the bank, with the pink tinged wild rose and sweet honeysuckle opening above the. Spring is joining hands with autumn, for the buds on the foxglove spike are showing colour before the last blue hyacinth had fruited or the white garlic vanished from the wood.

The lifelike look and visual appeal of the electronic Lure Motion Decoy from Flextone Game Calls pulls predators in to your setup for a closer look.
The Lure Motion Decoy features a rabbit-like fur sleeve that spins and quivers by the flip of its on/off switch. The decoy extends upward to mimic a helpless, distressed rabbit that no predator can resist.
Designed to work in combination with a predator call, the Lure Motion Decoy brings predators in range and can act as a distraction in low-cover situations.
The call utilizes a detachable, tall grass stake that displays the decoy above vegetation, so predators get a good look at it.
Weighing only 2 lbs., the decoy, which operates with two AA batteries (not included), allows for easy carry in the field.
For more information on the Lure Motion Decoy, or other products from Flextone Game Calls, visit www.flextonegamecalls.com.

Dentist overlooked cavities ?
So now that 98% of moms have told me his decay ISN'T from breastfeeding, I'm a little worried that were failing as parents or something because wtf is causing this when we brush twice a day and don't give him sugary crap? My main reason for this post is- the dumbass dentist overlooked the two cavities in his two top front teeth. They're holes, they're obvious, and ones pretty big. I know he could hardly look into DS's mouth because he was squirming and screaming even though he was on my lap, but still that dentist should've figured out a way to CHECK his teeth thoroughly when I said "I think he has a cavity." All he said was "that chip won't do any harm, I don't like putting toddlers under to file teeth unless its neccesary. My son has the same chip and itll be ok until his baby teeth fall out. There's no cavities just some discoloration."
So should I go back to that dentist and demand he look again and fix the damn holes OR go elsewhere and start all over? Im fine with doing that but this place was AWESOME for kids. 4D wallpaper of animals, rainforest and sea creatures.. Very relaxing for a child. BUT that dentist obviously overlooked cavities that need fixed.
I have never heard of them fixing cavities in baby teeth. Unless the child is in pain they usually will tell you just wait until the tooth falls out.
that's actually not true. it depends on which tooth has the cavity and the age of the child. if it's a front tooth on a 5 year old, no, they probably won't fix it because the tooth will probably fall out relatively quickly. if it's a front tooth on a 2 year old or even a molar on a 5 year old, they will do a filling because those teeth won't fall out for years. cavities left for too long can cause damage to the permanent teeth...
with that said, OP, my son has had 4 cavities filled but all on molars. we brush and floss and, yes, he does have candy but not a ton and has never gone to bed with milk or anything ever. some kids can just be more prone to cavities. the fact that they are on front teeth is what puzzles me. normally you would see that from milk sitting on the teeth all night along with the suction from a bottle.
personally, i would NOT go back to that dentist unless you trust his care going forward. if he does a bad job repairing the cavity or misses more than it might not be worth it...
Quoting tiredme:
I have never heard of them fixing cavities in baby teeth. Unless the child is in pain they usually will tell you just wait until the tooth falls out.
My son has discoloration and decay on his front two teeth and the 2 next to them and our dentist said he wants to wait to do anything because right now it will just be too traumatic. If I saw a big hole I might want them to fill it but even then maybe in a year when he's able to understand it better? I think I commented on your post in the bf group about how they said my son has "bottle rot" um he has never had a bottle and I have only given him homemade juice a hand full of times, plus its the out side of just his front teeth so breast feeding doesn't make any since. I know he has a lip tie that no one wanted to correct and I'm pretty sure that's contributing to it. Any way don't feel like a bad parent. I'm sure the dentist thinks I'm lying but I brush that kids teeth twice a day, since before they were teeth, and floss once a day. Like I said no juice or milk (other than mine and now unsweetened almond milk too). I worry people will judged me and about him going to school with brown teeth, but what can you do? :-/ any way you are far from alone on this.
Here is a picture of how cavities usually develop in toddlers. Notice the first picture, it starts out as white spots (and I only point ths out cause ppl usually assume cavities start out as dark spots). They are also at the gum line. White spots on other parts of the teeth are not usually cavities. But you can see from these pictures how they progress into decay.
And this picture shows how cavities form. Many people assume its from junk food but really its carbohydrates (foods w/ white flour like bread, crackers, cereal, etc).
Well, the germs in the mouth that cause cavities (which btw are passed from mom to child by sharing of utencils or cups - kids are NOT born w/ these germs) the germs live off of simple sugars (carbs) and their byproduct (or waste) is ACID. The acid is what causes cavities in teeth b/c after mulitple "acid attacks" the tooth enamel is weakend.
Anytime you put food in your mouth...a sip of juice, one goldfish cracker, etc = a 20 minute acid attack on your teeth.
So imagine that your child has a cup of milk or juice and they take a sip (20 minutes of acid). Then 10 mintues later, they eat a cheerio (clock restarts back to 20 minutes of acid on the teeth). And then 20 minutes later, they take another sip of their cup (20 more minutes of acid on the teeth). So from just 2 sips of a drink and a cheerio, they can have acid on their teeth for almost one hour!!! So many times, it isn't just that a child is eating crap, but that they are constantly grazing on food and drinks. The graph below shows the difference on acid attacks on teeth if you limit foods to just planned meals and snacks vs snacking all day.
It's hard to get the mental picture. LOL.
Do you have city water, it could be possible if your also using floride tooth paste, that he's getting to much floride (sp?) It can cause discoloured teeth.
My son front front teeth were chipped really bad, his adult teeth are fine. He did have cavities on his back teeth though. I was told when he was about 2 they would turn into cavities. Something went wrong during early pregnancy and he had thin enamel on those 2 teeth.
i would go somewhere else. I wouldn't go back to a dentist that couldn't find a hole in a tooth. and some times teeth are genetically predisposed to having problems. :/
They typically will not do anything unless it is causing pain. DD had three cavities in her teeth, that came out when her baby teeth fell out.
My dd is 7 and she had 2 huge and 3 smaller cavities, they absolutely had to be filled. They cause infection and damage to permanent teeth if they're not taken care of. They were all on her molars though. The two big ones also needed root canals and silver caps.

I was really nervous about using Michael, as I had heard both good and bad things. The samples he sent me in his emails in the months prior to my wedding were not very encouraging. HOWEVER, I think he does much better work than the pics he sent me---perhaps they were from a long time ago? To see some pics he took at our wedding and read my thoughts on Michael, check out my review:

Discover the Path to Igniting your
Success and Passion for Life!
You're invited to master the skills of a balanced life, so you can develop and sustain a positive self-transformation!
Once learned, these '360 Degree' skills will keep your success and satisfaction growing for years, even decades to come!
"I am convinced, because I've seen it happen so many times, that if you bring the 360 Degree tools into action each and every day, you will soon reignite your passion for life, accelerate your success, and have a huge smile on your face! You will take good care of yourself, and become instrumental in helping others along the way."
"Get a 360 Degree view of the possibilities your life offers, and quickly see how to build the life you desire. Personal and professional abundance are within your reach!"
-Ana Weber PhD, Certified Professional Executive Coach
Through the inspiration of Ana Weber's course, I have experienced a total new awareness and life awakening. I am now using some of the tools and they are making difference in my life in the areas of making more money, feeling more passion, experiencing higher energy, improving my relationships with people and food, and accelerating my achievements."
"I'm also experiencing a much better, calmer, positive and clear frame of mind. I love what Ana teaches!
The Course
What we learned from the '360 Degree' course brought us a thriving business, increased sales, increased recognition, and increased overall success in all facets of the business and in our personal lives. '360 Degrees' transformed us from where we were to where we aimed to be."
"Doing business with a sibling may create a different business dynamic, but using Ana's powerful tools, we took our sisterhood and our business to the next, even more successful level."
"We are deeply and sincerely grateful to Ana and her '360 Degree' program. She showed us how to convert our life from ordinary to extra-ordinary.
Develop Proven Skills to Manage your Most Precious Resources
Like everyone else, you have access to four essential external resources – money, relationships, energy and time – as well as your mindset. So why do some people develop more life satisfaction and success, even starting with fewer resources?
Through the five modules of the course, you'll unravel the mysteries of:
Money: Master or Servant?
When you have a good relationship with money, you have more of it in your life.As in any relationship, with money there's give-and-take. We listen. We hear. We support one another. We leave fear, intimidation, apprehension and mistrust behind. Instead, there's connection. In the first module, you deepen your relationship with money by entering that give-and-take flow. The more you get into the flow, the more money shows up—a cycle you'll want to go through again and again!
Make money your friend, instead of your enemy!
Relationships: We are Not Islands
People need other people to create success, joy and fulfillment. That's why we naturally want to connect in relationships.In this module, you'll learn how to recognize which one of five phases any relationship is in, so you can more easily nurture it or move it to the next phase, if appropriate.
Mastery of relationship flow reduces stress while increasing your self-esteem.
You get that job or purchase order because you are comfortable with people and enjoy opening doors – a key element of Your 360 Degrees of Success!
Energy: Spark It, Don't Sap It
Energy is not only a tool for getting things done, it is also a magnetic force that draws people towards you. In this module, you'll learn how to shift your mindset and perform tasks that energize rather than drain you. Abundant energy improves your focus, your awareness and your attitude, so that even when results do not show up right away, you feel more content with your day's accomplishments.
Once you start practicing the energy skills and focus on creating positive energy, you'll have plenty of energy to share and let flow out into the world. Soon, you'll start receiving it back!
Time: It's Ticking
When you feel stressed and overwhelmed, you might think, "I don't have enough time." In this module, you'll learn how to arrest the time thieves and apply time systems that shift your life from overwhelmed and stressed out to easily managed and happy. You'll waste less time on things like judgment, worries, and chasing perfection, leaving more time for what you need to do according to priority, whether that's getting more done or enjoying more leisure and family time.
Make time your friend so as it ticks forward, you enjoy every step in attaining Your 360 Degrees of Success.
The Ancient Wisdom of Hats
Doing what you love may make you happy while you're doing it. But what about the rest of the time? In this module, you'll learn how to love whatever you do simply by "changing hats". You'll identify the different roles you play in your life, and connect what you don't enjoy doing to the results that you do want and enjoy. Then moving into whatever comes next will flow naturally without force, stress or resentment, because you'll really enjoy every role you assume.
Discover the secret of switching hats and the true personal liberty of living Your 360 Degrees of Success!
Just imagine what it will be like when you stop chasing silver-bullet solutions, and instead use these tools to sustain a continuous positive self-transformation!
The Method
I am a professional artist and author, a career that ranges from sometimes unpredictable to outright unreliable. To make a living, I must follow the example of successful artists and acquire a particular savvy for business."
"The 360 Degrees of Success course contains some of the best advice I have heard, and includes some of the best lessons for stepping out and shining in a world where integrity and altruism stand to be such assets in the business world and beyond."
"Not only does Ana describe this all-too-needed form of good business sense, she also stands up for the creativity one must take on to be altogether happy in one's heart and ahead of the game. Applying both in a '360 Degree' balance has not only spiraled me into a season of success in the art world, but given me a genuine sense of peace.

Since I met Ana in 2007, my career and personal life have both steadily flourished. She gave me a '360 Degree' look at where I am and where I want to be."
"She inspired me to start my own business. Now my 'Genius Juice' is carried in several stores across California and is headed into national distribution."
"My business growth was expedited by the principles Ana highlights in Your 360 Degrees of Success. Those principles also give me the strength to become better, to believe in myself, and to achieve personal and business goals. I have every confidence they'll work for you too.

Pet of the Day
Four years old
Umbrella Cockatoo
Hazel Green, Alabama, USA
i, I'm Bella wishing you a Happy Independence Day, because I am one independent bird! I was living at "Top Dog Kennels" for several years. This is where my new Mom and Dad take their dog to get him groomed every spring. This year they saw I was for sale, so they brought me home. Since I spent so much time around dogs, I can bark and growl really well. Then I cry like a little puppy. Mom took me to the vets to get my wings, nails and beak trimmed. Dr. Moore spent a lot of time with me. When she took me out of the cage, I just leaned my head on her chest. She gave Mom a lot of good advice on how to take care of me.
Then, Mom and Dad bought me a bigger cage. This thing is six feet tall and over three feet wide! I have all kinds of perches and toys. There are four bowls, one for water, one for peanuts (my favorite), one for the seeds, and the last for treats. Since everything can be a toy, Mom gives me jar lids, balls, corn cobs and lots and lots of cardboard to chew up.
When they say "ROCK AND ROLL," I bob up and down and dance. That makes them laugh. Sadly, Mom and Dad are in there 60's and I can live fifty years. They have made arrangements for someone to take care of me when they are gone. (People need to think about their pets.) But for now, I am going to enjoy every minute I can with them. Every morning I give my Daddy a kiss when they uncover me. Have a good and safe holiday!
Your friend,
View more images of Bella!

Kings of Leon are back after a year-long hiatus triggered by frontman Caleb Followill's exhaustion due to alcohol and touring. Reports of them sounding invigorated may be accurate, but it all depends on what you expect of them. If it's anything resembling rock and/or roll, don't get your hopes up. However, if it's several slight variations on the general 'Murican theme of "heading back home on redemption road so I can kiss my sweetie pie" sprinkled with folksy idioms set to arena pop, then KoL's sixth album Mechanical Bull is firing on all cylinders.
'Super Soaker'
Caleb's so patriotic his squirt-gun sexual apparatus fires the same colors as Old Glory. It least it hasn't caught fire this time, but that doesn't change the fact that he "can't find [his] home [or his] place," which will be a problem he'll repeat nearly verbatim throughout the album. Sounds rough: [LISTEN]
'Rock City'
After going for shock value by "searching for drugs in the desert," also known as a weekend in Vegas, Caleb complains about how he "breaks down like a woman." That drearily misogynistic flop of a line only delays his inevitable need to find a place and a home (again). As far as simple, vague, stadium anthems go, Only By The Night was way better: [LISTEN]
Caleb's realized not only the drunken error of his ways, but also how much his loved ones have helped him through those dark times. As such, he digs into the Southern-gentleman handbook to signal his respect, by letting them know that he'd take a punch for them "in the temple:" [LISTEN]
'On the Chin'
Unfortunately, he ran out of ways to convey this emotion once the Tennessee slang dried up. So, he simply repeated it and moved the location of where he'd take it for you. Who knows, maybe there's even a hidden track promising he'd take a knuckle sandwich to the gut. On the bright side, it's sonically solid: [LISTEN]
'Comeback Story'
The Followills could have let the balladic strength of "Wait for Me" speak to their resurgence, but Caleb needs you to know that he's made a comeback. Nay, made the comeback – of a lifetime, no less. He still 'doesn't know where he's going' (although the listener has figured it out by now, at least lyrically), but at least he's armed with a nice zinger borrowed from his grandpappy Leon, the band's namesake: [LISTEN]

This is my first time pimping a place :) but I love this place so much, and more importantly respect the owner so much!
Sean's Anime and Comics. Greatest place in Toledo to get comics, figurines, anime. Heck anything in that social area. If he doesn't have it he can get it (aside from Vampire Hunter Z lol, long story). Anyway he is a young guy perhaps even younger than myself.
He opened a little store on North Monroe street, almost near Sylvania with a big heart, and most important 100% driven passion. As a customer, every time I go there he greets me with a smile and knows my name (despite only going once a month). He just comes across as loving what he does, and what he sells. He is VERY knowledgeable. For those interested in Japanese culture he is well versed. I always dig going there for my monthly The Walking Dead comic, perhaps picking up a Domo and talking with him. He's been to Japan several times and truly loves the culture.
Aside from the various food stores.. this is our local Japanese Gem :) Aside from Comic/Anime stuff.
Before I digress will leave it there. If you are into this stuff check it out. If you have loved ones interested in this, forward this. From what I hear he is expanding and will be moving. Which I am happy to hear. Being a customer from near day one, and seeing how he has expanded his modest space. I joked a couple times "he needed a bigger place". So glad he's getting that, and not far from where he is!.
Keep $$ local, and this is just one small reason why I love Toledo. Great service, great place, and among the myriad of places that Toledo offers another spot that let's me say "If I need it, I can get it local".

|Near-infrared dyes for six-color immunophenotyping by laser scanning cytometry.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12116357 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: To adequately analyze the complexity of the immune system and reduce the required sample volume for immunophenotyping in general, more measurable colors for the discrimination of leukocyte subsets are necessary. Immunophenotyping by the laser scanning cytometer (LSC), a slide-based cytometric technology, combines cell detection based on multiple colors with their subsequent visualization without the need for physical cell sorting. In the present study, the filter setting of the LSC was adapted for the measurement of the far-red emitting dye cyanine 7 (Cy7), thereby increasing the number of measurable commercially available fluorochromes. METHODS: The optical filters of the LSC were replaced-photomultiplier (PMT) 3/allophycocyanin (APC): 740-nm dichroic long pass, and 670-/55-nm bandpass; PMT 4/Cy7: 810-/90-nm bandpass. Peripheral blood leukocytes were stained directly by fluorochrome-labeled antibodies or by indirect staining. The tandem dyes of Cy7 (phycoerythrin [PE]-Cy7, APC-Cy7) and the fluorochromes fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), PE, PE-Cy5, and APC were tested alone and in different combinations. RESULTS: With the new filter combination and tandem fluorochromes, Cy7 was measurable at 488-nm (argon laser) or 633-nm (helium-neon laser) excitation. Resolution was in the range of FITC for PE-Cy7 but approximately 30% lower for APC-Cy7; spillover into the respective donor fluorochrome channel for both tandem dyes was prominent. A six-color panel for leukocyte subtyping was designed. CONCLUSIONS: With this adaptation, it is possible to measure the tandem conjugates PE-Cy7 and APC-Cy7. This new setup opens the way for six-color immunophenotyping by LSC.

Racing through the snow is just one snow mobile away.
Snow Moto Racing 3D is the follow-up to Aqua Moto Racing 3D, which came out last June in Europe. While it had some interesting ideas, it was hampered by some technical issues. Post-release patches made the experience better, fortunately. In the sequel, the developers froze the water landscape over, delivering similar gameplay in a new locale.
The new Moto Racing entry features 18 tracks of snowmobile racing spread across three different continents. Oddly, it is a slight downgrade from the previous entry, which contained 24 tracks. However, with the fewer tracks comes more portable-optimized cups. Each one is three stages long, making it a fun pick-up-and-play experience. The tracks also have more variety, and unlike the Aqua Moto Racing 3D, locations aren't reused constantly.
The controls are consistent for the most part, but they are quite slippery in places. While this game is in the snow so it makes sense, the slipperiness just makes the game frustrating. Upgrading can make up for this issue, though, which can be done by completing tricks during races, which also earns you boost in races as well as money for upgrade outside of races.
The goal in every race is to clear every checkpoint in the proper order. If you miss any of the checkpoints, you are forced to go back or else you cannot complete the race. Previously, checkpoints could be missed three times before players were disqualified. This is mostly done to accompany the new level design, which is way more linear than the open seas, but it still causes some of the tracks to be a bit dull, since they aren't really long.
The races against the computer are fair, as you duke out in the Championships and Quick Races. Snow Moto Racing 3D shines the brightest in multiplayer, as you can play the game with up to six people in Download Play and local multiplayer. It works like a charm and makes for a nifty game when everybody has a Nintendo 3DS around. The game also supports StreetPass, but it doesn't do anything interesting with it. You can exchange progress and records, but that doesn't add much to the game. It just makes the absence of online sting even more.
The only exemplary graphical flair is the nice lightning elements that bring the whole experience to life. The 3D effects causes some performance issues, making it advisable to play it in 2D only. It isn't anything particular harmful and painful to look at, but you can notice the slowdown consistently. The music is mostly butt rock, which is generic and quite pants.
Snow Moto Racing 3D is an alright game that provides a small racing fix for anyone desperately in need of one. The visual presentation, level design, and local multiplayer make it a fun rump, but plently of humps interupt the fun. The music is quite terrible, StreetPass isn't used in a clever matter and the game is tragically short. If you can forgive its problems however, Snow Moto Racing 3D is an okay time.

I've all but given up on drafting that type of player. People forget it took years for Delanie Walker to become that guy. Unless you're willing to invest 2-3 years developing that player, don't expect them to come in and be Delanie Walker. Marquise Gray was as good a prospect as any, but he couldn't contribute right now. It may work out better if we talked a big receiver, like Delanie was coming out of college, but even still, expect 2-3 years to develop that player.

I expect us to target a developmental player of that type either late or in UDFA. McDonald is still improving, and was only a rookie. As many have mentioned, Walker took several years to get his status. McDonald is not a lost cause. Let's see what improvement he can make, and develop someone as a tertiary backup in the meantime.

Iberdrola awards one million smart meters in Spain
- As part of the STAR project for the roll-out of smart grids, with an overall investment of €2,000 million by 2018
- The company has selected seven manufacturers to supply the new devices, which it will be installing in various autonomous regions
- IBERDROLA will be investing some €2,000 million by 2018 on setting up its electricity grid of the future
IBERDROLA has awarded seven companies contracts to supply one million meters with remote management capabilities, to advance its smart grid projects in Spain.
This award, for the total amount of €300 million, follows others made by the company in the last two years, to roll out this new distribution technology in our country.
The companies chosen by IBERDROLA to supply these devices are ZIV, Landis&GYR, Sagemcom, Sogecam, Orbis, Elster and GE.
Having successfully completed the first stage of the STAR project (Spanish acronym for Remote Grid Management and Automation System) in Castellón, where 100,000 meterswere changed,, IBERDROLA has started to extend roll-out to all of the regions where it has an electricity distribution grid.
In the Basque Country, the highlight is the initiative the company is engaged in with the Basque Government, via the Basque Energy Entity (EVE), based in the province of Biscay. This project involves the adaptation of over 1,100 transformation centres and renovation of some 230,000 meters.
Another project worthy of note is PRICE, in which the company is involved along with other partners. This project will consist of the replacement of some 200,000 smart meters (100,000 by IBERDROLA) and the refurbishment of 1,600 transformation centres in the Henares Corridor in the Madrid region, as well as in Guadalajara.
IBERDROLA is also making progress in transforming and modernising its electricity distribution grid in other regions, such as Murcia, Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha and the Valencia region.
This initiative, which will be completed in the year 2018, will require an overall investment in Spain of some €2,000 million, which will go towards replacing 10.3 million traditional meters with the new smart devices and towards adapting some 80,000 transformation centres, which will be equipped with remote management, supervision and automation capabilities.
As well as the initiatives it is carrying out in Spain, IBERDROLA is also about to complete its first smart grid projects in the United States, where it has installed over 550,000 smart meter devices, and in Scotland, where 30,000 customers in Glasgow will benefit from this new technology.
Advantages of smart grids
Some of the main advantages of smart grids are the integration of distributed generation, the possibility of rolling out electric vehicles on a mass scale and improved efficiency in electricity consumption. In this latter area, they will allow for the remote provision of services, such as real-time meter-readings, processing contract registrations and cancellations or altering the capacity under contract.
The company will also be able to supervise the electricity grid and detect any kind of anomalies: whether the voltage is correct, whether the power is balanced or whether there are losses. This information will enable the energy to circulate more efficiently and lead to an improvement in the quality of supply, as there will be a drop in the number of exceptions and their duration.

Checkmark is a reminder app from Snowman that we've reviewed before. In many ways, it's faster than using Apple's Reminders app, especially once you've created favorite locations and reminders. Version 1.1, released today, adds recurring reminders, snooze reminders and more, making a handy utility even better.
I'm liking recurring reminders for simple things like "go meet the school bus." Believe me, forget that once and you hear about it. I could also see using this if you have a time-sensitive medication schedule, provided that you'll be sure to have your phone with you at med time. You can schedule a reminder to recur hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
Snooze reminders let you put off a reminder if you can't do it when originally scheduled. Swipe to delay by a minute or an hour.
The "Add to Map" feature has also been improved with new satellite and hybrid views.
It's a nice update to a handy app. Checkmark 1.1 is available in the App Store now for US$1.99, requires iOS 5.0 or later and is ready for the iPhone 5.

So Dave and the DP crew are getting together to play their 2005 album The Getty Address in full later this month at a couple venues. When it came out, the album garnered some slight critical praise but went largely unnoticed. Now, they'll be playing it to sold out ballrooms backed by world-renowned orchestras (Alarm Will Sound Orchestra in NYC and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in L.A.). That's a much cooler retrospective middle finger to the haters (and the ignorers we suppose) than anything anyone has ever broadcast on Twitter. Another feather in Longstreth's cap, the e-mail we received about these shows refers to The Getty Address as "kind of like the 36 Chambers of indie rock." This band is one of probably less than three in the world that wouldn't cause us to stop dead in our tracks and click delete after reading such a statement. So there's that. Dates for the two shows are below.
02.19 New York, NY @ Lincoln Center (SOLD OUT)
02.27 Los Angeles, CA @ Walt Disney Concert Hall

Hi, my name is Jeff Troyer and I'd like to introduce you to the ART of Connection Marketing.
What is Connection Marketing?
It's a unique technology that all sizes of businesses are using to get lots of new customers, and then develop a strong relationship with those customers so they give them lots of repeat and referral business.
The problem we found with most businesses was that they were spending way too much time cold calling and marketing to the wrong people,
They didn't have a way to differentiate themselves from their competition, who all were claiming and saying the same things…
They were spending way too much money on advertising that wasn't working, while at the same time, not spending any time at all nurturing the clients they already have.
ART's On-Demand Marketing Line attracts 3-5 times the amount of prospects than traditional advertising does and compels those prospects to call you rather than your competition because they can listen to a Free Recorded Message rather than a live salesperson.
Here's how it works…
You'll get a private toll free number with 120 free recorded message extensions you can use to record as many different marketing messages as you want.
As a result, you'll be able to place eye-catching ads, including your toll-free number, that stand out from all the rest, inviting the reader to listen to a free recorded message.
Now, because the prospect knows they don't have to talk to a live salesperson, they'll pick up their phone and call your On-Demand Marketing Line. They'll hear your personal greeting and then be prompted to enter an extension number to hear interesting, educational, pre-recorded information about your products or services.
And because your message is educating them rather than trying to sell them, they'll decide to do business with you… without you chasing them…without you using pressure…without you spending a fortune on a big display ad.
In fact using the words free recorded message in all your advertising typically produces 3 to 5 times more response than you would get fromadvertising your local phone numberwhere prospects are forced to call you directly.
Speaking of advertising, the number one rule of advertising is, never do anything that you can't directly track its results.
Well, your On-Demand Marketing Line comes with 3 powerful online tracking tools, one of which will enable you to see exactly, in real time, which of your ads are bringing the calls and which ones aren't.
You'll be able to know what's working and what isn't so you can start funneling your ad dollars into campaigns that are really bringing results.
Did you know that most businesses spend 90% of their time trying to get new clients while virtually ignoring the clients they already have?
They don't do it on purpose.
They simply haven't found a way to effectively stay in touch with all their clients, whether they have 5 or 5,000 in a powerful, effective way.
How would you like to automatically contact more of your clients in one hour with one phone call, than you could contact in one year with the telephone glued to your ear, and for less than 1/3 the cost of direct mail?
ART's Client Connection Broadcast Center completely automates the client nurturing process.
You simply record a short 20-30 sec nurturing message on your phone, and then send that message to be delivered to a live person only or both live person and answering machines.
Your message could be…
Thank you for your business
Happy Holidays
A reminder or update
Tip of the month
Or even Information on an upcoming community event.
Did you know that less than 20% of direct mail pieces ever even get looked at?
Simply by sending a Voice Broadcast letting your clients know to be on the lookout for your new newsletter that's going to be arriving in the mail tomorrow… you'll increase your readership response by 3 times.
So in a nutshell, by using ART's On-Demand Marketing Line, you'll be able to completely automate the process of…
* Attracting 3-5 times the amount of prospects than traditional advertising does,
* Compel those prospects to call you and only you rather than your competition,
* Educate and Build trust with those prospects automatically using your Free Recorded Messages,
* Sift, sort and screen out all the unqualified or unmotivated time wasters, leaving you with
* Ready to Act Shoppers who call you wanting to do business.
And then…
* Track test and measure your results so the next time you run your ad campaign, you'll get better results. We call this automated lead generation.
Once they become a customer you then use ART's Client Connection Broadcast Center to send pre-recorded warm nurturing messages to your clients on a regular basis…
Thanking them for their business,
Wishing them happy holidays,
Letting them know to look out for your newsletter or even…
Inviting them to an upcoming community event.
Doing all this on a regular basis, you'll automate the process of transforming them into loyal clients and then into advocates who refer others to you…all automatically.
We call this Automated Client Nurturing.
ART's Connection Marketing System is revolutionizing the way thousands of businesses are getting connected with prospects and staying connected with their clients for a little over $4.00 a day.
Here are some examples…
Mortgage Broker Ed Petrie uses Free Recorded Messages in classified ads to get a $120 to 1 return on his marketing dollars spent.
Brett Brodie uses Voice Broadcast strategies in his carpet cleaning business to generate as much as $7,500 in business for only a $25 investment.
Real Estate investor Ross Kilburn says using Free Recorded Messages gives him an astounding return on investment.
Financial Planner Mike Grimes uses the leveraging and time saving power of Voice Broadcast to generate more than a 10 to 1 return on his investment.
And insurance agency owner Mike Stromsoe's business has grown 8-fold using ART's Free Recorded Messages and Voice Broadcast.
So if you're ready to revolutionize your marketing today, click on the services link above to learn even more about ART's On-Demand Marketing Line and Client Connection Broadcast Center.
Thanks for listening and happy marketing!

April Rhodes Staple Dress
Size: XS
2 yard of floral cotton fabric
Elastic Thread
Coats and Clark Tan All-Purpose Thread
Ok, ok, I'll admit it: I was skeptical about this dress. The shape, the elastic shirring. My main worry was that tiny ole' me would look like she was wearing a hospital gown or, worse, a paper bag. It did have a wonderful appeal -- designed by an Ohio lady (Woo-who to my home state!), breezy design, high-low hemline, pockets. Hmmmm, what did I leave out!? Oh -- roomy for summer.
The directions are superb and I have a couple of new techniques under my belt because of this dress. First time for proper French seams (done here on the shoulders) and shirring (all along the waist). In the directions, April suggests trying on the dress to figure out where to located the shirring and she even warns you not to be alarm because of the hospital gown look! The shirring was easy-peasy although once I tried it on, I knew it needed something else.
I made a simple bow belt in a contrasting teal fabric to cover the shirring and add something interesting to the dress. I love this fabric with the very simple tiny sweet flowers but the Staple dress, in my opinion, probably needs a louder larger print. The belt helped to compliment the fabric. I also learned to use hammer on snaps (Another technique - heck yeah! Who knew a simple dress would yield this much learning?!). I choose these pearly snaps that I had bought for a forlorn project.
My husband also suggested a necklace to make the neckline more interesting. You see, we are Project Runway addicts and he always reminds me to choose the right styling before I take photos for the blog (or go to work or dinner for that matter!).
I deviated from the directions by using a larger hem to bring the front of the dress just above my knobby knees. I also didn't cuff the sleeves. Instead, I folded it over 1/4 inch, pressed, and folded the press again, then stitched. I think I got a bit lazy and didn't want to fiddle with the cuff bias tape.
I have zipped all over town in this and can wholeheartedly recommend it for ease, comfort, and cuteness. It is no wonder why she named it the Staple dress. Thank you Perfect Pattern Parcel for introducing me to this designer.
Happy Stitches!

I have already written an article on MacHider, so the readers may ask why again? Well, in the previous one, I just pointed out a few basic features of MacHider, however, in this one; I am going to elaborate things as well. Let's talk about a couple of advanced features of MacHider in this article that were not mentioned in the previous one.
AutoHide Groups
When you run MacHider for the first time, you should notice the AutoHide Groups feature right then. For each of the individual custom groups that you have created, you can toggle the AutoHide feature on or off.
If you run MacHider, the groups with the AutoHide option enabled, will reveal the contained files automatically. However, as soon as you close MacHider, those files will get back to their hidden status. If you need to access groups of hidden files at a frequent basis, this feature can prove to be very useful.
It is advertised by the app that it doesn't modify any of the files that it hides. Well, you don't need to worry about file corruption as it seems. Now, let's discuss a bit that how secure MacHider actually is. If you hide any specific file, MacHider then creates a hidden folder to which the file is moved with a reversed file name (This is probably done so that it doesn't show up in the spotlight). There is a password feature which protects your files from being accessed by other users.
On a nutshell, I will suggest my readers to give it a try. The app is good at what it claims to be doing. It works well in keeping some of the sensitive files out of the intruders' sights. Don't think of it as a security tool, it isn't. It works well to hide your files and for that, it is definitely top notch.

Eating a diet of wholesome, unprocessed foods will not only keep your body in good shape, it will help you stay at the top of your game. If you suffer from bloating, cramps, moodiness and other menstrual symptoms, make sure to avoid foods high in salt, fat, sugar and caffeine. They can aggravate your symptoms. Believe it or not, there are actually certain foods that help to reduce cramps and other symptoms of PMS. Eat plenty of leafy green veggies, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, salmon, tuna, whole grains, turnip greens and pineapple to ease the pain and get an extra boost of energy. Peppermint, ginger and red raspberry leaf teas have also been shown to reduce the pain of menstrual cramps.
You'll feel your absolute best if you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Water is not only important to our health, it is essential. Because our bodies are composed mostly of water, we are dependent on hydration to keep every part of our body functioning at top capacity. Make sure to avoid caffeinated beverages and to drink plenty of water prior to and during your menstrual cycle to reduce symptoms. Staying well-hydrated can do wonders to alleviate the pain.
But how much water do we need? "The exact amount of water needed per day really depends on the individual," says Rick Hall, a registered dietician in Phoenix. "People who exercise, for example, will lose a lot more water through sweat and breathing, so their needs are higher." Eight glasses of water a day is average, but another good rule of thumb is to drink enough water that you have to urinate every two to four hours.
Stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed by getting plenty of sleep. Good sleep is one of the essential keys to happiness and health. In order to feel your best, you will need between seven and eight hours of sleep each night. Not only does sleep boost your mood, improve your productivity, increase your ability to focus and strengthen your immune system -- it can actually protect you from a range of serious illnesses including heart attack, stroke and cancer.
When bloating, cramps and general moodiness make you want to curl up in the fetal position, resist the urge! Regular exercise can improve your metabolism, mood, sex life and even the symptoms of PMS. High-powered cardio boosts circulation and releases endorphins in your body that can help to lessen menstrual symptoms. Not sure you're up to the challenge? Try some gentle exercises like walking, swimming, yoga and Pilates to help relieve lower-back and abdominal cramps.
There's nothing like a good laugh to keep your spirits high. Plus, it's medically proven that laughter is good for your health. Take a few minutes to visit your favorite funny websites each day, keep in touch with your friends, plan a regular girls' night out or go to the park and really play with your kids. You don't need anyone's permission to let loose and have a good time. This is your life. Enjoy every minute of it.

A Night of Country Music in the Big CityNovember 14th, 2012
More than a decade ago Mike Eli (vocals and guitar) and James Young (guitar and vocals) met when they were freshman roommates at the University of North Texas. Bonding over their shared love of music, they began writing songs and performing acoustically together as a duo. Hoping for something bigger, the two expanded to a full-on electric country band, now with Jon Jones (bass) and Chris Thompson (drums), and the Eli Young Band was born. The quartet gained popularity in the Southwest due to constant touring and local airplay of their albums, including last year's Life at Best. But make no mistake, the Eli Young Band (above, playing "Crazy Girl" on Late Show with David Letterman) aren't just some regional band. In fact you can see them on Friday night at Terminal 5.

Credit Suisse Group AG and Barclays PLC are set to agree to pay about $150 million combined to settle investigations by regulators into their "dark pools," according to people familiar with the matter.
The record settlements are with the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General. An announcement is expected as early as Monday, the people said.
The agreements will immediately become the biggest and second-biggest settlements related to dark pools, which are privately run stock-trading venues that have come under greater scrutiny in the past several years. Regulators and other critics have accused dark pools of providing unfair advantages to professional traders at the expense of big institutions.
Under the planned settlement, Credit Suisse CS, +0.72% will pay a total of about $85 million—$30 million to each the SEC and New York Attorney General and $24.3 million in disgorged profits, the people said.
Barclays BCS, +0.86% is expected to pay about $60 million to settle charges that include those brought in a high-profile fraud case by the New York Attorney General against Barclays in connection with its dark pools in June 2014. In that case, the New York Attorney General alleged Barclays misled clients about the extent of high-frequency trading in its dark pool, called LX.

What does viscosity index mean?
Definitions for viscosity index
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word viscosity index.
Viscosity index
Viscosity index is an arbitrary measure for the change of viscosity with temperature. It is used to characterize lubricating oil in the automotive industry. The viscosity of liquids decreases as temperature increases. The viscosity of a lubricant is closely related to its ability to reduce friction. Generally, the least viscous lubricant which still forces the two moving surfaces apart is desired. If the lubricant is too viscous, it will require a large amount of energy to move; if it is too thin, the surfaces will come in contact and friction will increase. As stated above, the Viscosity Index highlights how a lubricant's viscosity changes with variations in temperature. Many lubricant applications require the lubricant to perform across a wide range of conditions: for example, in an engine. Automotive lubricants must reduce friction between engine components when it is started from cold as well as when it is running. The best oils will not vary much in viscosity over such a temperature range and therefore will perform well throughout. The VI scale was set up by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The temperatures chosen arbitrarily for reference are 100 and 210 °F. The original scale only stretched between VI=0 and VI=100 but since the conception of the scale better oils have also been produced, leading to VIs greater than 100.

Mets Rumors:
The Mets are looking to potential Ike Davis suitors.... The Rays, Brewers, Pirates, Astros, Orioles and Rockies have reportedly all been connected to Davis or Duda this winter.
Andy Martino of the Ny Daily News says the Rays and Mets still matchup as source said "Still, a Mets-Rays trade remains a "possibility," in the words of one person involved in talks". Tampa Bay continues to show some level of interest, though talks have not become serious.
The Mets need a shortstop, but Yunel Escobar's name has not come up, and the Rays are unlikely to move him.
Additionally, Milwaukee has shown renewed interest in Davis. Back at the GM meetings last month, the teams talked briefly, but nothing came of it. Now, according to a source, the Brewers are back in it. Milwaukee is also talking to Corey Hart about returning.
First Base Market is taking shape first with Logan Morrison in most of the talks:
The Rays are not close to acquiring Morrison, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). Sherman takes the report a step further noting that the Rays never engaged the Marlins on Morrison.
ESPN's Jayson Stark tweets that the Marlins are telling other clubs they will trade Morrison shortly. Stark again lists the Rays as a possibility.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that interest in Morrison is picking up and adds the Brewers and Blue Jays to the list of interested parties (Twitter link).
The Pirates' interest in Morrison is "mild" at this point, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Twitter link). Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets that the Rays are also interested in Morrison.
Of Course, all losers of the Morrison sweepstakes would try a get Ike Davis...So the Mets might have to wait.. The Pirates are most likely not interested in Ike Davis..

For the last few months I have been on a dermatological hunt for the best cruelty and animal-product free face wash that isn't a million dollars. Sorry Whole Foods… can't afford ya all the time.
Anyway, during my hunt I ended up at Target. A bunch of green products on the very bottom shelf caught my eye. The price was right. The products ranged from about$7 to $8. The fancy stuff such as soothing eye balm was at most $13.
I picked up the bottle of Simple® Refreshing Facial Wash Gel and scoped the label for ingredients and to make sure it was noncomedogenic and hypoallergenic. The ingredient list was generally short compared to other face washes, however, that doesn't mean I can pronounce half of the words listed.
The label ensures the product is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Simple has no dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh irritants that can upset your skin.
The label makes it clear that Simple skincare contains no animal derived ingredients. However, the possibility that Simple might test on animals worried me. So, I phoned a friend. She looked the brand up online and found out that Simple does not test on animals although it lacks the cruelty-free logo. The reason behind it was that the peeps at Simple do not feel it's necessary to choose one company such as Leaping Bunny over other cruelty-free logos. Well, I took her word for it.
Target was out of the moisturizer so I ventured to Walgreen's to see what they had to offer. They had the same stuff, and everything was on sale for under $6. Score!
In addition to the facial wash, I purchased the replenishing rich moisturizer and exfoliating facial wipes. Unfortunately, the moisturizer does not have any SPF in it but you can always pair it with makeup such as Bare Minerals foundation which has SPF 15.
For the last couple of weeks I have been using the face wash in the morning and at night. I use the moisturizer before I put makeup on and use the exfoliating wipes about three times a week. So far, so good. A small amount of the facial wash gel does the trick. It's also nice to have a moisturizer that's light and doesn't leave my face all greasy. I'm not quite sure if the exfoliating wipes really contribute to much, however, it feels good on my face! I'll probably skip out on them next time though. I personally like Say Yes to Cucumbers hypoallergenic facial towelettes much better.
Everything feels really clean, as face cleansing products should. But, you know what I mean… no dirt left behind. Overall, Simple skincare products are a great alternative to those expensive brands. Another plus is that it can be found in regular stores like Target and Walgreens.
After doing some more research, I learned a few things about Unilever, the company that owns Simple. The company is based in the UK and just started selling Simple in the U.S. this year. The company also states its views on animal testing. After reading this, I was a little iffy if I wanted to use this product or not. Since I already made the purchase, I decided to go with it. The company seems pretty progressive and I feel is on the right track in terms of their motives. I can't say I will definitely buy this brand again due to the company's current policy but I will keep checking back to see when it goes fully animal-testing free. If after reading the disclaimer* below, the policy doesn't bother you then I say go for it.
*Disclaimer: At Unilever, using non-animal approaches is the norm. Most of our products reach consumers without testing any of their ingredients on animals. We do not test our actual products on animals (any testing is undertaken on individual ingredients), and we do not undertake animal testing in our own laboratories (any studies are conducted by third party laboratories). A few countries still undertake product testing in their government laboratories. We are working with the local authorities to ensure the implementation of non-animal methods.
Animal testing is a contentious issue, and there are strong and diverse opinions on the need for animal testing to underpin the development of new consumer products, particularly cosmetics. Unilever is required to provide animal data to comply with the safety regulations in place in different countries across the world. Where we are legally obliged to commission animal studies, we ensure that the minimum numbers of animals are used.
Unilever is committed to the elimination of animal testing for its business, and is at the forefront of research into non-animal approaches for assessing consumer safety. Currently, a very small amount of animal testing is still necessary to deliver innovative products that provide consumer benefits and are market competitive.

Press Conferences & Post-Game Interviews
KU coach Turner Gill
Kansas coach Turner Gill talks to reporters following the Jayhawks' 70-28 loss to Oklahoma State on Oct. 8, 2011.
Stillwater, Okla. At this point, it almost has become a carnival-like atmosphere around the Kansas University football team. Come one, come all, schedule the Jayhawks and set a school record. Find the magic combination and you may be able to rewrite your entire record book.
That's basically what Oklahoma State did Saturday in front of 58,030 at Boone Pickens Stadium, where the Cowboys drubbed the Jayhawks, 70-28, and, in doing so, tied or set multiple school records on offense.
OSU's 70 points, 10 touchdowns, most points in a half (56) and most points in a quarter (35 in the first) all were modern-era records. The Cowboys' 494 yards through the air established a Kansas record for passing yards allowed. And the total came from two different guys, marking the first time in OSU history that two quarterbacks had passed for 200 or more yards in the same game. Oklahoma State starter Brandon Weeden was 24-of-28 for 288 yards and five TDs before being relieved late in the second quarter. His replacement Clint Chelf closed out the victory with marks of 14-of-21 passing for 206 yards and two TDs.
"When you lose, you lose," KU coach Turner Gill said. "Numbers, records and all those things, that's part of it, and I understand that. But I'm trying to make sure we do some things better, defensively, offensively, special teams, in all those areas."
Saturday, that did not occur, and the double-dose of humiliation made a bad day worse for the Jayhawks, who fell to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in Big 12 play.
"It's just an extra blow knowing that a team's going out there and setting records on us," junior cornerback Greg Brown said. "They played a good game, but a record-setting performance against us doesn't sit too well."
Each week, the KU coaching staff claims improvement is taking place. Yet, each week, the Jayhawks' performance on the field fails to show it. Sure, Kansas played hard to the end and even outscored OSU, 21-14, in the second half. But the 56-7 halftime score made that fact irrelevant.
Consider these crippling numbers from Saturday's game.
• Oklahoma State scored touchdowns on all eight of its first-half possessions, with each of its first five drives taking less than 1:50 off the clock. That included three drives that took less than a minute, and one that took 30 seconds.
• Weeden's stellar passing numbers, which included a school record for completion percentage (85.7), came in just 11 minutes. After his fast start, Weeden was given the rest of the day off with less than three minutes to play in the first half. Two plays after Weeden replaced his helmet with a baseball cap, Chelf hit Isaiah Anderson with a 24-yard touchdown pass that gave OSU its highest-scoring first half since 1973.
"That's not a good feeling at all, knowing that he played basically just one quarter and he can go hang it up like that," Brown said.
• KU turned the ball over a season-high four times, giving the potent OSU offense short field after short field.
"We're not at that point in our program where we can turn the ball over like that and still be competitive in the ballgame," Gill said.
• The Cowboys totaled 600 yards of offense, making them the third straight KU opponent to go over 530 yards and the second this year to break 600. They did so in 11 fewer minutes and five fewer plays than the Jayhawks, who finished with 478 yards, 316 of which came through the air from QB Jordan Webb.
"We're not at a point where we're able to compete in all phases against that kind of an offense," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. "All we can do is go back to work. That may be cliche, but I do believe that the only way you do get better is by going back to work."
Perhaps that's been the most frustrating part of the awful stretch that has landed KU's defense at the bottom of the NCAA's statistical rankings. It's not so much a lack of effort that's plaguing the Jayhawks as it is a lack of preparation, instinct and execution. Asked why he thought the KU defense again struggled so mightily on Saturday, Gill provided two answers.
"We have to give credit to the opponents, No. 1," he said. "No. 2, we have to make sure our guys are able to make the plays they need to make."
Why aren't they?
"I think we're still thinking and reacting instead of, when you see something, just reacting to it," Gill added.
Part of that, at least this week, was due to the performance by Oklahoma State.
"They have a prolific quarterback," KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "The guy's going to the NFL. They're very mature, they have a mature offense and you know going into the game that they're going to move the ball and score. Our issue was we didn't want to compound that by turning the ball over, and that's something we need to get cleaned up."
Despite just about everything going Oklahoma State's way, more than half the stadium cleared out by the middle of the third quarter because of a driving rain that came down as fast as the Cowboys lit up the scoreboard. It must have felt like a home game for KU.
So now the focus shifts to next week, when No. 3 Oklahoma comes to Lawrence. Your move, OU. If Oklahoma State can do this to the Jayhawks, what are the Sooners going to do? It's a fair question — one that will be answered in front of a national television audience courtesy of ESPN2.
At this rate, one has to wonder if even the complimentary tickets the KU athletic department is planning to give away for students can help fill Memorial Stadium. Full stadium or not, Shealy said the coaching staff would use the loss to OSU as motivation to get ready for the Sooners.
"That will be reiterated to them throughout different conversations throughout the week," Shealy said. "Our players need to be psychologically strong, and we'll find out what we're made out of."

Spinal meningiomas: Critical analysis of 131 surgically treated cases
Spinale Meningeome: Kritische Analyse von 131 chirurgisch behandelten Fällen
Suche in Medline nach
|11. April 2007
Objective: This study was undertaken to analyze the functional outcome of surgically treated spinal meningiomas and to determine sources of operative morbidity.
Methods: Between January 1990 and December 2005 a total of 131 patients underwent surgical resection of a spinal menigioma. There were 114 female (87%) and 17 male (13%) patients. Age ranged from 17 to 88 years (mean 69 years). The mean follow-up period was 4 months (range 1 to 108 months) including a complete neurological examination and postoperative MRI studies. The pre and postoperative neurological state was graded according to the Frankel Scale. Surgery was performed under standard microsurgical conditions with neurophysiological monitoring.
Results: In 95 patients (72,5%), the lesion was located in the thoracic region, in 21 patients (16.0%) in the cervical region, in 7 patients at the cervico-thoracic junction, in 6 patients at the thoraco-lumbar junction and in 2 patients in the lumbar region. Surgical resection was complete in 127 patients and subtotal in 4 patients. Transient neurological deterioration was observed in 16 cases. At the last follow-up, the neurological state was improved or unchanged in 121 patients (92%) and worse in 10 patients (8%) compared to the preoperative condition. Two patients died due to non surgically related complications and 1 patient due to a tumor progression.
Conclusions: Radical resection of spinal meningiomas can be performed with good functional results. Extensive tumor calcification and arachnoid adhesions to the surrounding neural tissue proved to harbor an increased risk for surgical morbidity.
