Jefferson Department of Urology
Established in 1904, Jefferson's Department of Urology is one of the oldest and among the largest in the United States with internationally recognized experts in all major fields of urology, including:
- Endourology – Used mostly to treat kidney stones and some tumors, this procedure involves the use of small fiber-optic scopes to view the lining of the urinary tract.
- Laparoscopy – Surgeons use a fiber-optic instrument that is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen to perform minimally invasive procedures in the kidney, ureters, bladder and prostate. Jefferson urologists were the first in the Delaware Valley to offer minimally invasive laparoscopic radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer.
- Robotic surgery – Utilizing the da Vinci® robot, Jefferson urologists are among the best in using robotic surgery to treat conditions of the genitourinary system.
- Oncology – Diagnosis and treatment of cancer of the urinary tract of men and women such as prostate, kidney and testicular cancers.
- Male urology – Jefferson is a leader in the use of leading-edge, minimally invasive procedures to treat BPH (also referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy). BPH is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes very enlarged and may cause problems associated with urination.
- Female urology – Diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the lower urinary tract in females, such as urinary leakage and overactive bladder.
- Male factor infertility – Treatment to reverse low sperm count.
- Pediatric urology – Treatment of urological problems in children.
- Urinary tract infection – Treatment of bacterial infection of the urethra, bladder, ureters or kidneys.
- Neurourology – Treatment of urologic conditions that have a neurological origin, such as spinal cord injury.

Shrine to Apostle Peter unearthed: Israeli archaeologist
In this file photo taken on August 06, 2017, a general view of an archeological excavation site, believed to be the location of a biblical village that was home to Saint Peter, near the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. Excavations in Israel's Galilee have uncovered remains of an ancient church said to mark the home of the apostles Peter and Andrew, the dig's archaeological director said on July 19, 2019.

by Stephen Weizman
Excavations in Israel's Galilee have uncovered remains of an ancient church said to mark the home of the apostles Peter and Andrew, the dig's archaeological director said Friday. Mordechai Aviam of Kinneret Academic College, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel, said this season's dig at nearby El-Araj confirmed it as the site of Bethsaida, a fishing village where Peter and his brother Andrew were born according to the Gospel of John. The Byzantine church was found near remnants of a Roman-era settlement, matching the location of Bethsaida as described by the first century AD Roman historian Flavius Josephus, Aviam said. The newly-discovered church, he added, fitted the account of Willibald, the Bavarian bishop of Eichstaett who visited the area around 725 AD and reported that a church at Bethsaida had been built ...

Cesar Pelli, the Argentine architect and creator of Malaysia's Petronas Towers and New York's One World Financial Center, died Friday at the age of 92, his family said. "I want to send my condolences to the family and friends of the talented Cesar Pelli," President Mauricio Macri wrote on Twitter. "The works he leaves throughout the world as a legacy are a pride for all Argentines." After graduating from the University of Tucuman, Pelli left for the US in 1952, where he studied on a scholarship. He was dean of Yale's architecture faculty from 1977 to 1984, and counted the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal among his many accolades. His most high-profile achievement was the Petronas Towers in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur -- a 452-metre high structure that was the world's ...

Alexander Kluge © Markus Kirchgessner.1
For this exhibition, the German filmmaker and writer Alexander Kluge presents a multi-screen video installation alongside a selection of his writings. Featuring some of Kluges characteristic montage films, this installation is being exhibited in dialogue with twenty drawings by Georg Baselitz, which have never been shown before, and two new paintings by Anselm Kiefer. Having shared a deep intellectual affinity with both of these artists for many years, Alexander Kluge pays them a cinematic homage which engages and further extends the intersection between their individual practices. In both his writings and films, Alexander Kluge brings together disparate elements from the real world, filling the gaps with fiction, then cutting and pasting them together. He approaches the world as an archeologist, exhuming various fragments and then incorporating them in the open structure of his films. In his unpredictable ...

Non-Vicious Circle: Paula Cooper Gallery opens summer group exhibition
Throckmorton Fine Art exhibits female nudes and iconic photographs by Lucien Clergue
Bidding for the house, which was last listed at $1,650,000, will take place Aug. 12 at Heritage's Luxury Real Estate Auction.
A home once described by Frank Lloyd Wright as "a little gem," in Kansas City, Missouri, will soon be sold Aug. 12 by
Heritage Auctions
. The 2,965 square-foot, ft. three-bedroom/three-bath contemporary estate will sell at a no-reserve auction, regardless of price. The renowned home is located on nearly one and a half acres in the historic Roanoke neighborhood near downtown. Designed by Wright in 1939 for Clarence Sondern as a 900-square-foot home, three squares formed what was to become the classic Usonian L-shaped style. Arnold Adler hired the architect in 1948 to expand the home to its current 2,965 square feet, adding a great room, a third bedroom and two additional bathrooms. Renowned in Kansas City, the Sondern-Adler House has delighted its stewards and visitors for generations. "I chose Heritage to represent the house because of its audience of collectors and art ...

s summer show presents a selection of sculptures and installations by Sam Durant, Liz Glynn, Walid Raad, Kelley Walker, and Meg Webster. The exhibition takes its title from one of the works on view, a 2014 mobile by Sam Durant. The works on view address the notion of recurrence, conceived as a catalyst to question the concepts of historical linearity, narrative or progression. Sam Durants sculptures use war- related paraphernalia (missile and bullet shells, in particular) to explore the relationship between Surrealism and World War I, as well as the echoing of the past in the present. Liz Glynns vibrant spiral, Eternal Return II, 2017, from her recent major exhibition at MASS MoCA, is made from contemporary materials and industrial detritus that translate theories of historical progressionoften visualized as ...
Pablo Picasso once said: Clergues photographs are from Gods own sketchbooks.
Throckmorton Fine Art
is presenting an exhibit of female nudes and iconic photographic images spanning the fifty year career of one of Frances greatest photographers, Lucien Clergue.

His photography is classic, never forced or manipulated. While Clergue photographed many subjects, among them portraits of fellow artists (including his dear friend Pablo Picasso) Clergue is most renowned for his female nudes.

The Vatican on Saturday opened two burial chambers discovered under a trapdoor as it attempts to get to the bottom of a riddle involving two 19th-century princesses and a teenager who went missing 36 years ago. The ossuaries were found last week under the floor of the Pontifical Teutonic College after the shock discovery earlier this month that the bones of the princesses had disappeared from tombs in the Teutonic Cemetery. The graves of Princess Sophie von Hohenlohe and Princess Charlotte Federica of Mecklenburg, who died in 1836 and 1840, were exhumed after an anonymous tip-off that they may hold the remains of a missing Italian youngster. Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican employee, was last seen leaving a music class in Rome in 1983 aged 15, and theories have circulated for decades about who could have taken her and where ...

Blum & Poe
is presenting a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Alma Allen, showcasing work made after the artists recent relocation from Joshua Tree, CA, to Tepoztlan, Mexico. The pieces continue the compulsive and prolific explorations of a singular sculptor with a recognizable and idiosyncratic visual sensibility, who creates psychologically charged forms in stone, wood, and bronze. In talisman-like handheld objects in silver and bronze, and in large-scale forms contoured from 500-pound burls of wood and slabs of stone, Allens works are exacting in their fluidity. These nonreferential forms at once evoke the familiar and the nameless, drawn from the trauma and willfulness that have marked the artists life and his own specificities of resonance and ...

Drawn from private and public collections, this internationally travelling retrospective showcases more than 100 paintings, drawings, prints, and personal items, many of which have never been on public display. Works range from Obata's nihonga (Japanese-style painting) studies as a student in Japan, watercolors from his magazine-illustrator days in San Francisco, and works depicting his personal experience of incarceration during World War II. Two of Obata's famed woodblock prints are represented, as are his ink scrolls and the large-scale California landscapes for which he is perhaps best known, including his depictions of Yosemite.

Question: Is an otoplasty an out-patient procedure?
Answer: In general, yes. However, in some children, the procedure could be advisable to keep someone over night to help with postoperative discomfort and to help with care. Even though I perform my otoplasty cases as an outpatient, I cannot guarantee every surgeon has the same philosophy. If he believes that keeping someone overnight is advised, there is typically a good reason for it.

Tokyo Whisky Live has hooked up this year with the Tokyo International Bar Show and is being jointly promoted as Tokyo International BarShow/Whisky Live, but Japanese whisky fans can still look forward to plenty of unique tasting opportunities in the main hall and the must-drink special bottlings for the event. They actually have more exhibitors than last year, so the new partnership does not mean a dilution of Whisky Live.
I usually try to avoid excuses, but I must apologise again for being late with news because of my current family crisis (1). The masterclass tickets for the event close midnight Monday (today!!! sorry).
Exhibitors at the two-day event will include Suntory (makers of, among others, the Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki brands), Nikka: (Yoichi, Miyagikyo, Taketsuru, Venture Whisky (Chichibu, Hanyu, and Ichiro's Malt) and, rather excitingly Honbo Shuzo (Mars). The masterclasses related directly to Japanese whisky include*
● Suntory: (MC4 Hakushu & Bowmore Distilleries, MC8 Hibiki Blended, MC16 Malt & Chocolates, MC20 Yamazaki & Hakushu)
● Nikka: (MC1 Taketsuru Pure Malt, MC13 Nikka- My Blend)
● Venture: (MC21 Chichibu Distillery)
Of course, all of those Japanese whisky masterclasses are going to be in Japanese (unlike many of the Scotch ones). If your Japanese is not up to it, my experience is that the main hall can be more than enough fun and give loads of opportunities for trying out exceptional Japanese and other whiskies. Just make sure you don`t overdo it.
Entry tickets are available through E+ until midnight Friday. Tickets bought on the day will cost 1,000 yen more than advance bookings, so JY6,000 for 1 day or 10,000 yen for both days. An English language booking service is available if people e-mail email@example.com.
David Croll, the event`s organizer said all five of the official BarShow Bottlings are Japanese whiskies this year: Two Karuizawas, one Chichibu, one Hanyu and one Yamazaki. Fuller details are available here but the labels below should tell most of the story. My mouth is watering:
It will be possible to sample the 5 bottlings at the show using Premium Vouchers and 30 five bottle sets will be offered each day at a special price (that offer is not available online).
Somewhat mysteriously, David Croll added:"There will be a very special BarShow-only offering to promote the relaunch of the Whisky Magazine Japan website, and its "Bond#1" premium subscription service. More details will be available at the BarShow Shop."
As part of the run up to the big event, Whisky Magazine Japan Editor-in-Chief Dave Broom will be conducting a closed seminar for 9 members of Bond#1 in Shinjuku`s Golden Gai district on Friday, May 4, 2-4pm. Bond#1 is the subscription-only area of the Whisky Magazine Japan site. The tasting is free-of-charge but is strictly reservation only. The whiskies will include a single cask of Karuizawa 1984!

Written and drawn by Jerry Dumas, Sam and Silo chronicles the comic misadventures of a small-town sheriff and his deputy.
Sam and Silo are characters in the classic mold. They don't attempt to solve the secrets of the universe. They don't have profound ideas about politics or the economy or the communications revolution. They just aim to brighten their allotted space in the newspaper each day with a laugh or chuckle.
There is much nostalgia in Sam and Silo, which made its newspaper debut in 1977. The backgrounds often show tree-shaded streets, the town hall and the courthouse, all beautifully drawn. The scenes depict a way of life that is warmly remembered by millions of city folk who grew up in places much like Upper Duckwater, the strip's setting.
Sam is the small-town sheriff of Upper Duckwater. The town is so small, in fact, that the entire police force is comprised of two people: Sam and Silo! When patrolling the shady and safe streets of Upper Duckwater, Sheriff Sam in his trademark porkpie hat believes the best defense against crime is a nap and a hearty lunch.
Silo is Sam's right-hand man in small-town law enforcement. Every comic strip needs two or three main characters, who can bounce ideas at each other; Blondie has Dagwood, Calvin had Hobbes, Beetle has Sarge, and Sam has Silo.
While criminals in Upper Duckwater are few, Sam and Silo often have a nemesis in the town's sole politician, Mayor McGuffey. Whether he's seeing crime where there is none, or inventing bureaucratic red tape just for the fun of it, Mayor McGuffey sometimes makes life sticky for our heroes. And that's too bad, because Sam and Silo would rather do nothing more than sit behind the billboard in their squad car and sleep.
This counterwoman at the local diner dispenses one-liners and lots of affection along with breakfast, lunch and dinner. If truth be told, she's the real mother of Upper Duckwater.
See what the Royal Membership is all about.

Unreasoning passion is inexplicable to anyone who's not caught up in its throes, so it's essentially impossible to explain why a couple who live in the history-rich Three Musketeers region of southwestern France should be totally enthralled by the legend of America's "Mother Road." The now nearly extinct U.S. highway catchily described in Bobby Troup's 1946 song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" so inflamed the imagination of Robert and Gisele Mauries that they created a nonprofit organization in 2006 called, wait for it, the Route 66 Arizona France Association.
Sounds simple, but it is in fact extremely complicated, combining as it does an all-consuming interest in the historic roadway, the varied cultures of multiple Native American tribes, a passion for American cars — the more powerful the better — and some forms of American music, specifically blues and rock 'n' roll, but the authentic Southern U.S. variety of both, none of that British-interpretation stuff. I got sucked into this vortex entirely by accident when I agreed to send one of my Martinique roadsters to a concours d'elegance in Cahors, France, last year. Robert Mauries was at the same table at lunch, which led to a telephoned invitation to the Cars 'n' Blues In Quercy festival in July. I was away at the time, but my wife agreed that I would participate.
It was fortunate that she took the call, since I would have politely declined and thus missed a fascinating look at the external appreciation of several intrinsic aspects of contemporary Americana. As it happened, I could manage only a few hours at the blues festival, driving to Cahors for a quick lunch and a judging session for an American-car concours and then leaving as soon as prizes were handed out, thus sadly missing the music entirely. "Don't worry, you can come to Disneyland," said Mauries. And so we did in September, just before the Frankfurt motor show, for a much bigger event in Disney Village.
Disneyland Paris was the perfect venue for what turned out to be a joyous celebration of American cars, clothing, music, and — alas — food. The Billy Bob's Country Western Saloon mass-feeding concession at Disneyland Paris has absolutely nothing to do with French traditions, nor does it even reach average American standards. Those Disneyland visitors who eventually go to the United States will be happily surprised to find it is possible to eat well on the American road without having to resort to the same ubiquitous fast-food restaurants that line French highways these days.
Some of last fall's Disneyland participants will be driving on the actual Route 66 this year. Since 1998, Robert and Gisele Mauries have organized trips to America for their group's members. There will be twenty of them for the fourth such expedition this year, driving in ten identical rented convertibles. A fee of [euro]5900 (about $7500) covers airfare, car rental, hotels, dinners, entry to the Indian nations' dance festival with 3500 dancers, and a comprehensive road book so no one will get lost. A visit to Fort Apache also has been reserved.
The entire itinerary hadn't been settled when we were with them, but the trip will start with a flight from Paris to Phoenix and will include visits to some of the dozens of Native American tribes scattered throughout the Southwest. Gisele has developed close relationships with many of those tribes, something that might be difficult for most Americans, given the history of relations with "the Great White Father" in Washington and nineteenth-century government land grabs. The French visitors will be allowed to witness traditional ritual dances that are forbidden to casual tourists. Preceding Route 66 Arizona France groups have visited Nashville, Memphis, Natchez, and New Orleans for their music, as well as most of the cities cited in the Troup song.
There were some surprising cars among the thirty-plus classic Americans on display at Disneyland. Gilbert Clausner showed a 1949 Mercury that recalled countless customized California '49 Mercs, but he had made the chopped-top coupe entirely himself, using a four-door sedan as raw material. Well, Mercury coupes were never thick on the ground in France, although there was a quite similar-looking French-built Ford Vedette, also styled by Bob Gregorie at the same time as the Mercury in the 1940s. Clausner installed an Edelbrock Chevy 350-cubic-inch crate motor and an automatic gearbox with a giant shift lever. He has rigged a gasoline injection system in his car's tailpipes so he can shoot flames out the back whenever he likes. The CHP would very seriously frown on that, but apparently the Gendarmerie Nationale is OK with it. Clausner went to some trouble to dress himself as a 1950s greaser, complete with rolled-up jeans, a bowling shirt, and a short comb in his back pocket.
Even more impressive in dress was Laurence Brucker, who was period-correct in every visible detail to correspond to her 1954 Chevy Bel Air, a pillarless "hardtop convertible," as the style was initially known in the '50s. Even her makeup was accurate enough for her to look like someone in a 1950s TV show…if they'd had decent color TV back then. Asked about how she'd achieved so perfect a showroom-fresh appearance for her car, she had a simple answer: she bought it at a Hershey, Pennsylvania, swap meet as-is. For the rest, it was a matter of relentless searching for "new old stock" clothing. Her husband, Sylvain Delteil, was wearing sixty-year-old shoes, trousers, and belt but admitted that his colorful, period-correct '50s-style Hawaiian shirt was purchased recently…in Hawaii. Brucker deservedly won the prize for the Best Fifties car, as well as another for driving the greatest distance to the event.
Almost every car on display had an unusual stance, which came from sitting higher than their designers intended because of tires much bigger than original. This was not so much a matter of choice as of availability. In most cases, the original-equipment tire sizes no longer exist, and every owner faced with going bigger or smaller than OEM fitments preferred more grip and the consequent increased ground clearance. A particularly well-presented 1963 Corvette split-window coupe sat on P215/75R-15 radials that would have been nice to have on the spectacular multirib optional aluminum wheels forty-nine years ago but simply didn't exist then. Owner Pascal Gastinel readily agreed that they do jack up the chassis a bit, but it didn't matter, as he still took the prize for Best Corvette.
At least Gastinel kept those OEM wheels. A Pontiac Trans Am on 255/50R-17s looked seriously anachronistic, although of course the idea of constantly modifying cars is thoroughly American, so the aftermarket wheels were fitting in the context. The range of U.S. models acquired and held by their French owners was impressive. There were many Corvettes and Mustangs, these being popular cars that were available new in Europe, which has engendered make-specific French clubs. Francis Lopez took a prize for the Best Sixties car present, his 1964-1/2 Mustang convertible. But there were also a Buick Riviera and a Dodge Charger. Included for the first time this year, a few motorcycles from Harley-Davidson and Indian added to the American atmosphere. Yves Brunet's 1948 Harley "Panhead" took first prize in the bike category.
The range of '50s Corvettes on hand was surprising, from one of the original-design 1953-55 models — Jose Fernandez's white 1954 — through the 1956-57 face-lifted C1 to a number of 1958-62 triple-grille versions, one of which, Jean-Pierre and Veronique Jarry's '58, was awarded the Disney Village Special Prize. The variety of Mustangs was even greater, with some very nice models of all the early years, including a Shelby GT350. In particular, one '67 convertible in a curious but factory-applied color attracted a lot of attention. It was said to be one of only a few dozen ever built with that definitely-not-Mary-Kay pastel pink paint, and Patrick Guidez was happy with his award for Best Convertible. The Best Ford Mustang prize, though, went to Denis Bourgeois's bronze 1966 fastback coupe, in very original condition.
The event at Disneyland was not all cars and costumes. American music and musical machinery were part of it, too. In the Route 66 headquarters tent there were several beautifully restored and fully functional AMi, Rock-ola, and Wurlitzer jukeboxes, a particular passion of Monsieur Lionel Bontemps (which translates to "good times" in English, a perfect name), who actually runs a jukebox restoration business, Juke Box Classic. Apparently this is a thriving hobby comparable in extent and activity to those for boats, cars, guns, and watches. Robert Mauries has one, and even photographer Martyn Goddard, who has been with
Automobile Magazine for a quarter century, allowed that he had one at home in London. When the quite-convincing all-French Dixieland band was not playing, sounds were provided by one or another of these luminous emblems of midcentury American flamboyance.
Disneyland management is solidly behind the three-day American car-based Route 66 event, generously providing both advertising support to attract more people to their park and trophies — chocolate-colored plaster (of Paris, obviously) Minnie Mouse statuettes — for all the concours winners, and even one for me for serving as president of the jury that attributed the awards. The other members were Mauries, Jean-Pierre Boyer representing Disneyland, Franck Lewandosky representing Disney Village, and Andre Crudo, an artist whose work was on show in the HQ tent. While we were there, the greater part of the public crowd consisted of Spanish families on school holidays, obviously present for the park attractions but clearly intrigued by what they saw and heard from the Route 66 group.
Robert Mauries is an early-retired information-technology executive who dropped out of industry because of too much stress for too little psychic reward. It seemed to us that there was a tremendous amount of stress involved in planning and executing the three Route 66 events held last year, even if the American trip is biennial, but it was also evident that whatever the problems he has to cope with, he's having a really good time, as is his equally engaged wife, also an industry dropout and very much caught up in the pleasurable aspects of the Association.
If you'd like to check out the group's events in France, go to www.route66arizonafrance.com. But the Route 66 drive, even if it's on your turf, is strictly for the French. C'est la vie.

Four frères: Unforgettable but uneven
A mediocre John Wayne western, The Sons of Katie Elder becomes an epic urban drama in the hands of John Singleton, who blends social relevance and commercial elements into an uneven but unforgettable package.
The Four Brothers of the title aren't all "brothers" in the racial sense: two are black, two are white. All were adapted by Evelyn Mercer (Fionnula Flanagan), "the sweetest woman in the goddam world." She placed children in foster homes, but there were "four delinquents so far gone she couldn't find anyone to take them in; so she did."
While Jeremiah (Andra Benjamin) has remained in Detroit, married (Taraji P. Henson), and tried to get a business going, the other three, badasses all, scattered and haven't seen each other in years until they're reunited at Evelyn's funeral.
The script by David Elliot and Paul Lovett is efficient and complex, if deeply flawed. The beginning is exposition-heavy as two cops discuss the four brothers. Basically Green (Terrence Howard) tells his partner, Fowler (Josh Charles), all about them: Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), "the Michigan Mauler"; Angel (Tyrese Gibson), "pretty boy, ex-hustler, soldier"; and Jack (Garrett Hedlund), "first-class f***up, third-class rockstar."
Four Brothers gets off to a rocky start. Besides the clunky exposition, it seems for a time like a long-form music video, with a string of mostly Motown oldies played too loud. It's 25 minutes before the plot really kicks in, but by then the combination of nostalgia and camaraderie has put us firmly on the boys' side.
Evelyn was killed in an apparent convenience store robbery, but Bobby quickly concludes it was a professional hit: "It was an execution. They set her up." Because he thinks the police "couldn't find t*ts in a strip joint," it's up to the brothers to solve the case and serve as judge, jury, and executioners.
Jerry balks– "Let the cops do their damn job"– and blows hot and cold about helping. Bobby, the alpha brother, could almost do the job alone, but Angel and Jack come in handy for backup when things get complicated. Suspicion falls on several people, including Jeremiah, as the investigation continues; but the trail seems to be leading to sadistic crime boss Victor Sweet (Chiwetel Ejiofor). At least he's at the top of a pyramid that includes a crooked cop, a corrupt councilman, hired killers, and assorted thugs.
Acting isn't usually the long suit of movies like this, but Wahlberg's performance, perhaps drawn from his own roots, is above and beyond the call of duty. Gibson and Hedlund are fine, as is Benjamin in a change of pace from his impressive comic turn in Be Cool. Howard's good too, in what should be his last supporting role, now that Hustle & Flow has made him a star.
The brothers have several opportunities to rough people up and to defend themselves. An intense assault on the family home is like the OK Corral with AK-47s; Precinct 13 didn't have it this bad. A car chase on a snowy night is exciting and a little different.
"Exciting and a little different" is a fair description of Four Brothers, a movie that should incite some brotherly love.

I've lived in this valley for ten years and visited here for about 5 years before that. And I've never seen precip here like we've had since early December.Not to suggest that it's of biblical proportions--nothing of the sort. It's just significantly more than normal, and I've really been enjoying getting out into it.
Our local ski area is only about 30 minutes away by car, but it's also ~4000-6000' higher than the valley floor, and they've also received huge snow so far this winter. The Dog and I headed up early this AM and enjoyed a peaceful skin to the top with only a hawk and a raven for company. The deep snow slowed our uphill progress so that as we began the descent the unwashed masses were already being ferried up the lift. I typically try to be done before the lifts open, so as not to have to worry about Doogan getting in anyone's way. Anyhoo, it was great fun to be arcing turns through over-the-hood snow with Doogs bounding in my vapor trail, all while people hooted and hollered from above.
The snow wasn't completely untracked on the main runs and glades, so I snuck into a few of my favorite stashes to get some really deep turns. I'd dropped in and linked 8 or 10 of the best turns I'll get all year (chest deep on bent knee, with over-the-head shots in the pockets) and was already gasping for air when it occurred to me that Doogs wasn't going to do very well with this kinda snow depth. I pulled up short and starting calling for him. After an anxious 60 seconds he appeared as a silhouette on the ridgeline, tunneling, bounding, and plowing his way toward me, and unmistakably smiling the whole time.I stomped out a bit of a platform for him so that he could get up out of it, shake the accumulated stuff out of his eyes and nose, and just catch his breath. Then we dropped in again, and again, and again.
Not a bad way to start a day.
Calories and compromise Part 2, coming up next...

FBI has images of two persons of interest in Boston bombings, source says
A federal law enforcement source told Fox News that investigators are looking for two men that are persons of interest in Monday's Boston Marathon terror attack and have distributed photos for "law enforcement eyes only."
The FBI is not sharing the photos with the public.
A Fox News reporter has seen the photos and called them "clear."
According to the reporter, one of the men has a backpack that appears to match the bag believed to have been used in the attack. The other man also appears to have a bag of some kind.
The source asked that the images not be made public for fear of jeopardizing the investigation.
News of the images came as investigators spent Wednesday poring over photos and video footage and piecing together shredded remnants of bombs in an effort to zero in on suspects behind the attack.
Even as amateur sleuths analyzed photos of the finish-line crowd and shared their own conclusions, FBI investigators were believed to be doing the same, and there were reports that they were interested in specific images of a person or persons with heavy backpacks. Investigators believe the bombs, at least one of which was likely a pressure cooker bomb laden with explosives and shrapnel, may have been concealed in such a bag. Monday's attack killed three and injured 176, many critically.
A mangled pressure cooker lid found atop a nearby building is believed to have been part of one bomb, and it and other pieces were being analyzed at an FBI lab. A battery and several pieces of shrapnel were also recovered and undergoing analysis. Fox News learned that the circuit board suspected of being used to detonate at least one of the bombs has been recovered, and that FBI investigators were also analyzing cellphone tower records to identify positive hits for signs of calls that may have been placed to trigger both explosions remotely.
The FBI and Boston Police said no arrests have been made in the Boston Marathon bombing. Earlier, FoxNews.com and several other media outlets, including The Associated Press, reported that a suspect had been arrested in the deadly attack.
Investigators believe one, or possibly two, pressure cookers were packed with explosives and shrapnel and hidden in backpacks to be left amid the crowd.
According to a FBI and Department of Homeland Security bulletin, the deadly shrapnel that caused the deaths -- including of an 8-year-old boy, and critical injuries to 17 -- included nails, BBs and ball bearings. The other device "was also housed in a metal container, but investigators could not say if that was also a pressure cooker.
Pressure cooker bombs have been used in high-profile bombings in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and have been touted in the Al Qaeda in Yemen's online propaganda magazine Inspire and in the "The Anarchist Cookbook."
The horror unfolded just before 3 p.m., shattering a festive atmosphere several hours after the legendary race began on the city's 238th annual Patriots' Day. In the aftermath, officials found bomb remnants, shrapnel and shredded backpacks believed to have concealed the deadly payloads.
Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, confirmed at a press conference investigators had found pieces of black nylon from a bag or backpack and fragments of BBs and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker. He said the items were sent to the FBI laboratory at Quantico, Va., for analysis.
The FBI also plans to reconstruct the devices at their headquarters in Quantico, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
Investigators are also examining if the bombs could have been assembled near the scene of the explosions, The Wall Street Journal reports, quoting a law enforcement official. The official says this possibility is being considered because transporting improvised devices over a significant distance could trigger a premature detonation.
The officials also say federal agents are working with local police to canvas local hotels and short-term rentals for clues as to where the bombs could have been constructed.
Dr. Peter Burke, chief of trauma services at Boston Medical Center, said Wednesday 19 patients (six males and 13 females) are being treated at the facility. Seven people had amputations and two remain in critical condition, including a 5-year-old boy. He said there will be eight 're-operations' at the hospital.One or two patients may be released later today. He credited Boston EMS and first responders for limiting the loss of life.
He said beside amputations, doctors have been treating lung injuries, likely caused from the force of the explosion or impact on the ground.
"The major (injuries) ones that were life-treating were tissue injuries and vascular injuries," he said.
Tufts Medical Center said it treated 14 patients, seven of whom have been discharged. None of the patients are listed in critical condition. The hospital said it did not have any amputations nor does it expect any in the future.
"This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here," Alasdair Conn, chief of emergency services at Massachusetts General Hospital said Monday night; "this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war."
An intelligence bulletin issued to law enforcement and released late Tuesday includes a picture of a mangled pressure cooker and a torn black bag, like the one seen below that was first obtained by MyFoxAtlanta.com, that the FBI says were part of a bomb.
It remained unclear if the bombs were the work of a homegrown or foreign threat, but in Washington, both President Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called the attack terrorism.
"Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said Tuesday morning.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis appealed to the public to come forward with any information or photographic evidence that might help authorities zero in on the killers.
The Pakistani Taliban, which has threatened attacks in the U.S. because of its support for the Pakistani government, denied any role in the marathon bombings Tuesday.
The group's spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan, denied involvement in a telephone call with The Associated Press. He spoke from an undisclosed location.
Details also emerged Tuesday on the victims of the attack, as scores of victims remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries.
Eight-year-old Martin Richard, who was with his family cheering on runners at the finish line, is among those dead. The boy's 6-year-old sister lost a leg in the attack and his mother suffered a brain injury.
Krystle Campbell, of Medford, Mass., 29, was also killed in the blast. Her father said she had gone with her best friend to take a picture of the friend's boyfriend crossing the finish line.
William Campbell said his daughter, who worked at a restaurant in nearby Arlington, was "very caring, very loving person, and was daddy's little girl." He said the loss has devastated the family.
The Shenyang Evening News, a state-run Chinese newspaper, identified the third victim as Lu Lingzi. She was a graduate student at Boston University.
The first two explosions occurred at 2:50 p.m. – nearly five hours after the marathon began – about 50 to 100 yards apart, according to Davis. A third explosion occurred near the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in the Columbia Point section of Dorchester, several miles southeast of the marathon's finish line, at around 4:15 p.m. Police could not say if it was related to the earlier explosions.
Nearly 25,000 people, including runners from around the world, competed in Boston's celebrated 26.2-mile race, attracting huge throngs of onlookers, especially near the finish line.
Obama plans to visit Boston on Thursday to attend an interfaith service in honor of the victims. He has traveled four times to cities reeling from mass violence, most recently in December after the schoolhouse shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Anyone with information on the bombings is being urged to call Boston authorities at 1-800-494-TIPS.
Fox News' Rick Leventhal, Jana Winter, Catherine Herridge and Mike Levine contributed to this report.

Subscribe To New Wreck-It Ralph Trailer Takes Us To Funkytown Updates
I've already subscribed
The first trailer for Disney's Wreck-It Ralph got us into the retro-spirit by using Talking Heads' 1980s pop hit Once in a Lifetime. The latest theatrical trailer takes a similar approach by taking us to Funkytown and showing us even more of the world video game character Ralph is taking by storm in this animated adventure.
The music in the trailer below shifts from "Funkytown" to Fun.'s latest hit partway through, and also gives us a few new snippets from the movie, which follows a classic video game villain with the dream of being the hero. John C. Reilly voices Ralph, while Jack McBrayer, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch and Adam Carolla voice the supporting roles. You'll hear them in the trailer below.
"This holiday season comes a story for anyone who ever needed a RESTART on life."
The mix of video game humor (including goofy lines like "I bet you really gotta watch where you step in a game called Hero's Duty," which make my inner child giggle) and nods to older games, as well as new ones, along with the story of a character who's looking to break free from the role in which he's been cast has so much potential for a great story. I have high hopes that the film lives up to what we're seeing in these trailers.
Wreck-It Ralph arrives in theaters November 2. More information and photos can be found in our Blend Film Database.

From there, your audience members can scan the code to bring your slides up on their smartphones or tablet computers. It's easy for the audience, and much faster than typing a URL.
Todd Ogasawara came up with the steps for this great tactic, which he used when presenting in a restaurant venue where no projector or screen would be available, something that often happens at awards events or professional networking events. Speakers and presenters also could put this approach to work in such speaking situations as:
- Presentations or demos in a booth at an exhibit;
- Poster sessions at scientific meetings;
- "Greener" conferences where paper handouts are discouraged;
- Work sessions where you want to include slides in the discussion on an impromptu basis, or on the fly;
- Demos outdoors or in non-traditional settings: on a construction site, at a restaurant, in a hallway, in a cab.
And of course, every speaker should have this tactic as a backup plan should the projector fail. I'm going to add it to my arsenal of "just in case" tactics, and bring a QR code for the slides that can be easily photocopied and shared with the audience. How about you? Share how or when you might use this option in the comments. And don't forget: The Eloquent Woman on Facebook includes the SlideShare app, so you can easily share your slides with us there. Please do!

The Top 10 Rookie Seasons in Seahawks History
Now that we've gotten our first look at Seattle's newest crop of NFL talent at the rookie minicamp, I thought this would be a great time to look back at the top 10 rookie seasons in Seahawks history. One big (and somewhat scary) conclusion? Having a great rookie season doesn't automatically translate into a great career.Conversely, many all-time Seahawks greats didn't necessarily have stand-out rookie seasons. Here's what I consider the top rookie seasons in team history. Please let me know in the comments if I missed anything obvious.
10. Steve Largent (1976)
I considered sliding Rick Mirer, Michael Boulware, John Carlson, Darrell Jackson, Doug Baldwin and even Brian Bosworth into this slot, but Largent's '76 season was the most deserving. Largent was a cast-off who probably only made an NFL roster because the Seahawks were a 1st-year expansion team, but he quickly became Seattle's ONLY reliable offensive threat. His 54 catches for 705 yards and 4 touchdowns seems pedestrian out of context, but becomes more impressive when you consider the disadvantage the expansion Hawks were at in their inaugural NFL campaign. He would also form a fruitful connection to quarterback Jim Zorn that would define the young Seahawks throughout the Jack Patera years.
9. Daryl Turner and 8. Fredd Young (1984)
Turner's career was the definition of a "flame-out." After scoring 23 touchdowns in 1984-85, he was out of football by the start of the 1988 season. In '84 he was a classic deep threat. While he only caught 35 passes, ten of them went for touchdowns, and he averaged an astounding 20.4 yards per reception. Fredd Young would go on to become a Seattle fan favorite in the mid-80s as a linebacker, but in 1984 he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl as a dominant, fearsome special teams ace.
7. Bruce Irvin and 6. Bobby Wagner (2012)
Pete Carroll and John Schneider hit it big in the 2012 draft (more on that below), and their first two picks helped turn the Seattle defense into the NFL's best. Wagner racked up 139 total tackles, two sacks and three interceptions. The Kiper-maligned Irvin was inconsistent, but still tallied eight sacks and helped Seattle field its most dangerous pass rush in years.
5. Earl Thomas (2010)
ET appears to be on a Ring-of-Honor, if not Hall-of-Fame, trajectory. While Seattle's defense in 2010 was a mess (25th in points allowed), Thomas was a bright spot, hauling in five interceptions (including two in a huge upset win over San Diego) and giving all of us a preview of the devastation the Legion of Boom would eventually unleash upon the NFL.
4. Lofa Tatupu (2005)
Tatupu's body eventually wore down and his career declined (and ended) prematurely, but his rookie year was spectacular. Tatupu anchored Seattle's Super Bowl-bound defense and was selected to the Pro Bowl (he was narrowly defeated by Shawn Merriman for DROY honors). His three interceptions in a Monday Night shutout of the Eagles is an indelible memory for millions of Twelves, as is his devastating hit on Carolina's Nick Goings in the NFC Championship Game.
3. Joey Galloway (1995)
Even great wide receivers usually struggle in their rookie season, but Galloway EXPLODED upon the NFL scene in 1995 (which is even more remarkable given the people throwing the ball to him were Rick Mirer and John Friesz). Galloway caught 67 passes for 1039 yards and 7 TDs, but his most memorable moment from '95 was an 86 yard touchdown scamper on a reverse in a win at Jacksonville. Galloway was never really properly utilized by Dennis Erickson, and a contract dispute led to a season-marring holdout in 1999, followed by a trade to Dallas for two first round picks (one of which the Seahawks used to acquire Shaun Alexander- Thanks, Jerry!).
2. Curt Warner (1983)
The Seahawks traded their 1983 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks to the Houston Oilers in order to acquire Penn State Running Back Curt Warner. I vividly remember Warner's first NFL carry: a 60-yard dash in the sweltering heat at Arrowhead Stadium. The Seahawks lost that day (because that's what they did in Kansas City back then), but Warner would rush for 1,449 yards (and add 42 catches for 325 yards) and 13 touchdowns. He'd lead the Seahawks to the AFC Championship Game that season, topping the AFC in rushing and winning a Pro Bowl spot along the way. If not for competition from Eric Dickerson and Dan Marino, Warner would have undoubtedly won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. A knee injury in the 1984 opener kept him from growing into a Barry Sanders-level all-time great, but he'd still go on to have three more 1000-yard seasons and two more Pro Bowl selections.
1. Russell Wilson (2012)
This wasn't just the best rookie campaign in franchise history- It was one of the best seasons by any rookie in NFL annals. Not only did he lead Seattle to a 11-5 record and a playoff win, he also racked up an impressive list of accomplishments, including (but not limited to):
-A Pro Bowl selection
-4th in the NFL in Passer Rating
-4th in yards per pass attempt
-2nd in touchdown percentage (for passing)
-7th in completion percentage
-3rd in the NFL in game winning drives (5)
-The best single-season rushing performance by a quarterback in franchise history
So yeah. Pretty awesome, huh? Some nitwit thought he shouldn't start, though.
What do you think, sirs?

The quality of life of millions of women is negatively affected by pelvic organ prolapse (POP) -- the downward descent of the pelvic organs that causes symptoms such as urinary incontinence. In women with POP, the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), the main supportive structures of the uterus and vagina, are attenuated. Although changes in the content and quality of the collagen in the connective tissue of USLs have been associated with POP, no molecular mechanism(s) underlying this disorder has been described. However, Kathleen Connell colleagues, at Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, have now shown in mice that the protein encoded by the homeobox gene Hoxa11 is an essential molecular factor for the development of USLs, leading them to suggest that changes in HOXA11-regulated pathways might weaken the connective tissue of USLs and thereby cause POP.
In the study, mice lacking Hoxa11 were found to have no USLs and expression of HOXA11 was found to be markedly decreased in the USLs of women with POP. The USLs of women with POP also expressed decreased levels of the collagen type I and collagen type III genes as well as increased levels of the MMP2 gene that enables cells to generate a mediator of connective tissue degradation. Further in vitro analysis indicated that the mouse Hoxa11 gene increased expression of the collagen type III gene and decreased expression of the Mmp2 gene, thereby defining a molecular mechanism regulating the mechanical strength of USLs.
