Research Summary
Our laboratory focuses on how young children and adolescents develop abilities to regulate their emotions especially under stressful or challenging circumstances. We are especially interested in how early adverse conditions such as severe poverty or parental substance use change developmental pathways and may render children more vulnerable to stress and later adversity. We use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to study these relationships and are especially focused on developing neural circuits for emotional regulation and stress reactivity which we assess using electroencephalography. Recently, we have also begun studies of how substance use impacts the development of those neural circuits that regulate parental care and sensitivity to the infant and at the same time, render substance using adults more vulnerable to the stress of parenting which in turn increases the stress in their children's environment. In addiction, individuals seek rewarding stimuli such as drugs to diminish negative emotional and stressful experiences. Social attachment is also a process based on the balance between reward and stress. It may be that the impaired function in these neural systems conveyed by addictive processes directly impact parenting such that stimuli salient for eliciting parenting behaviors such as an infant cry are sufficiently stressful to the addicted adult to elicit instead avoidant behavior toward the infant and increased craving for drugs. Our work in this area also directly informs treatment programs for addicted adults.

Extensive Research Description
Dr. Mayes's research integrates perspectives from child development, behavioral neuroscience, psychophysiology and neurobiology, developmental psychopathology, and neurobehavioral teratology. She has published widely in the developmental psychology, pediatrics, and child psychiatry literature. Her work focuses on stress-response and regulatory mechanisms in young children at both biological and psychosocial risk. She has made contributions to understanding the mechanisms of effect of prenatal stimulant exposure on the ontogeny of arousal regulatory systems and the relation between dysfunctional emotional regulation and impaired prefrontal cortical function in young children. Her laboratory currently follows two longitudinal cohorts—one exposed to drugs prenatally and whose participants are now adolescents and another cohort of preschool aged children growing up in varying degrees of psychosocial adversity with the study focusing on the impact of economic deprivation on emerging executive control functions in preschool and early school-aged children.
Given the nature of her work with children at significantly high-risk for developmental impairments from both biological and psychosocial etiologies, Dr. Mayes also focuses on the impact of parenting on the development of arousal and attention regulatory mechanisms in their children. With other colleagues in the Center, she studies how adults transition to parenthood and the basic neural circuitry of early parent-infant attachment using both neuroimaging and electroencephalographic techniques. Most recently, she and her colleagues in the Center have developed a series of interventions for parents including an intensive home-based program called Minding the Baby and a group based intervention for parents called Parents First. Her research programs are multidisciplinary not only in their blending basic science with clinical interventions but also in the disciplines required including adult and child psychiatry, behavioral neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, and neuropsychology. Indeed, in her work, Dr. Mayes' collaborates across a number of departments—pediatrics, surgery and anesthesia, psychiatry, psychology—and has international (Israel, Great Britain, Canada, Italy) and national collaborators. She is a visiting professor at University College London where she participates regularly as a member of a research faculty training program and is also on the adjunct faculty of the University of Connecticut. Dr. Mayes is also trained as an adult and child psychoanalyst and is the chairman of the directorial team of the Anna Freud Centre in London as well as the coordinator of the Anna Freud Centre program at the Yale Child Study Center. In this capacity, she focuses on developing research relevant to basic psychoanalytic theories of mental development as well as mentoring young scholars interested in the interface between psychoanalytic theory and developmental science. With her colleagues Peter Fonagy, Ph.D. and Mary Target, Ph.D. in London, she oversees a new masters program in psychodynamic developmental neuroscience offered collaboratively between University College London and the Yale School of Medicine.
Clinically, Dr. Mayes coordinates the Center's programs on research and clinical services for infants and young children. The early childhood section of the Center's Harris Child Development Unit offers a range of assessments and therapeutic services for families of infants and preschool children and also for parents.

10 more government and Communist Party officials in the Chinese city of Chongqing have been fired for their role in a huge sex and corruption and scandal, China's state news agency Xinhua reports.
Members of the sex exhortation ring behind the scandal have been arrested, Xinhua reports.
The scandal made headlines around the world last year when a video of one local party boss, Lei Zhengfu, having sex with his 18-year-old mistress was widely circulated around the internet. Lei, somewhat understandably, was fired.
The Lei video was soon revealed to be part of a wider scandal — Lei was apparently being blackmailed by a local developer as he had become too rich for simple bribes. Worse still, he wasn't the only one. The local journalist who broke the story has said he had five more videos to release.
China's Southern Metropolis Daily reports that the man behind the extortion ring, Chongqing businessman Xiao Ye, is thought to have snared at least a dozen Chongqing officials with his "honey trap" tactic. The South China Morning Post reports that not all netizens are angry with Xiao. "Xiao is an anti-corruption hero," said one, "Why arrest him?"
Chongqing, one of China's largest cities, was also the home of the now-notorious Bo Xilai, and many observers wonder if there was a link between Bo and the scandal. Many reports say that police had known about the videos for years, but they only became public knowledge due to the work of a local journalist. "The fall of Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun seem to have something to do with" how the videos emerged, Steve Tsang, an expert on Chinese politics at the University of Nottingham, told the Guardian.

PALM BEACH, FL – A strange creature has been videotaped just off shore in Florida!
The Lagoon Keepers is a group of volunteers who remove floating debris from the waters of Palm Beach County. While working, they noticed something in the water and grabbed their video camera.
They decided to name it the "Muck Monster", because every time they got close enough to get a good luck, it would dive into the muck where they couldn't see.
Lake Worth Lagoon has never had previous reports of unidentified creatures in the water. Perhaps something came in from the ocean and got trapped?

The Book of the Heart - Stages of Contemplation
The essential nature of the human journey is like meditation: it cannot be analysed or measured. Ends and beginnings meet and cycles of growth make for fresh change and development. But we need a sense of the journey and its main stages in order to make meaning of our lives and to endure their dark nights.
The theme of this year's Monte Oliveto retreat explores how we can perceive what is happening on the inner journey and how this can bring us to self-knowledge, true personal freedom and the confidence to love.
Using traditional imagery such as the Ars Contemplativa figures at Chartres Cathedral as well as contemporary psychological insights Fr Laurence's talks - together with the unique atmosphere of beauty, peace, silence and community which have come to characterise the Monte Oliveto annual retreat - present a special opportunity to grow in wisdom and peace by understanding what the journey of our life is and what it means.

Jan. 22, 2013 Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Retired Cardinal Roger Mahony and other top Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles officials maneuvered behind the scenes to shield molester priests, provide damage control for the church and keep parishioners in the dark, according to church personnel files.
The confidential records filed in a lawsuit against the archdiocese disclose how the church handled abuse allegations for decades and also reveal dissent from a top Mahony aide who criticized his superiors for covering up allegations of abuse rather than protecting children.
Notes inked by Mahony demonstrate he was disturbed about abuse and sent problem priests for treatment, but there also were lengthy delays or oversights in some cases. Mahony received psychological reports on some priests that mentioned the possibility of many other victims, for example, but there is no indication that he or other church leaders investigated further.
"This is all intolerable and unacceptable to me," Mahony wrote in 1991 on a file of the Rev. Lynn Caffoe, a priest suspected of locking boys in his room, videotaping their crotches and running up a $100 phone sex bill while with a boy. Caffoe was sent for therapy and removed from ministry, but Mahony didn't move to defrock him until 2004, a decade after the archdiocese lost track of him.
"He is a fugitive from justice," Mahony wrote to the Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI. "A check of the Social Security index discloses no report of his demise, so presumably he is alive somewhere."
Caffoe died in 2009, six years after a newspaper reporter found him working at a homeless mission two blocks from a Salinas elementary school.

NIH researchers identify genetic cause of anemia disorder
NIH researchers identify genetic cause of anemia disorder
DNA barrier element implicated in human disease for the first time
HS affects 1 in 2,000 individuals of Northern European ancestry and is characterized by fatigue, anemia, enlargement of the spleen and sometimes jaundice. In this study, the researchers investigated a specific mutation in the non-coding region of the ankyrin-1 (ANK1) gene, the gene most commonly mutated in HS, and sought to determine whether the mutation was responsible for the ankyrin deficiency in patients with the disorder.
"Our study provides novel understanding of barrier insulator structure and function along with the particular role of this mechanism in a human disorder," said senior author David Bodine, Ph.D., NHGRI senior investigator and chief of the Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch. "Barrier insulators are not well understood, but what we are learning is fundamental to gene regulation."
Barrier insulators are stretches of DNA that reside outside the coding region of the genome and their associate binding proteins. Unlike genes, they do not code for human proteins or carry hereditary traits, but are among the complement of DNA elements that play a role in turning genes on and off. Barrier insulators create a barrier to help keep genes 'on' in the appropriate cell type.
People contain a vast number of cell types, all differing in their structure and function. All cell nuclei within an individual contain the same set of genes, some of which may or may not be switched on by regulatory elements also written in DNA code. These include enhancers, silencers and barrier insulators to name but a few. The genes that are turned on, or expressed, in the early phase of red blood cells (fully developed red blood cells do not contain nuclei) are different from those that form a skin or muscle cell.
ANK1 produces a protein necessary for the stability of the red cell membrane. The barrier insulator defect that causes HS was detected in DNA adjacent to the ANK1 promoter, the region just before the gene in its sequence that controls RNA production. Mutations in the barrier insulator lead to silencing of ANK1 and a deficiency of ankyrin protein in the cells. Ankyrin deficiency in red blood cells causes them to become spherically shaped rather than donut shaped and their cell membranes to lose the ability to mold and flex on their way through the tiny blood vessels that branch out to bring oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
The research team used a variety of approaches to demonstrate that this barrier insulator causes the disorder, including studies that showed a loss of barrier-associated proteins at the mutant ankyrin promoter and the use of transgenic mice to demonstrate that the barrier region could function independently of the ANK1 itself.
"Many studies have identified noncoding regions of the genome that are associated with specific diseases, but the role of those sequences in disease has not been demonstrated," said the study's lead author Patrick Gallagher, M.D., Yale University professor of pediatrics and genetics. Bodine added, "I believe our study is the first of many studies that will show that mutations in barrier insulator elements are responsible for numerous inherited and acquired diseases, including cancers."
In addition to NHGRI, the study was supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Ryan Gosling 'turned down chance to be in Backstreet Boys'
Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling was asked to be a member of '90s boyband Backstreet Boys but turned the offer down, it has been revealed
Gosling, who has gone on to achieve success in Hollywood with films such as The Notebook and Drive lived next door to AJ McLean of the group when they were both teenagers. Speaking to TMZ, McLean revealed that he asked Gosling to be in the band but had his offer spurned. However, Gosling subsequently returned to his neighbour and asked to be a part of the group, only for McLean to forget to return his call
Adressing the actor in an interview, McLean said: "Ryan, I am so sorry that I didn't call you back. If we ever want a sixth Backstreet Boy member I'm gonna call you. You can sing." He added, "He can sing his ass off. He's not only a great actor and a handsome man."
In a recent interview to promote his latest movie Gangster Squad, Gosling admitted he felt that Backstreet Boys were too much of a "New Kids rip-off" to be successful
Backstreet Boys went on to sell millions of albums without Ryan Gosling and released hit singles such as 'I Want It That Way', 'As Long As You Love Me' and 'Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)'. The band reformed in 2004 minus original member Kevin Richardson, who left to pursue other interests

How to resist persistent threats in the digital economy
We live in an increasingly digital world and keeping organizations secure in this environment is more demanding than ever before. IT infrastructures have not been built to support this rapid transformation. In the race to provide more types of features and faster access to consumers, there are often gaps in code that can lead to vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities and attacks seem to be coming out of nowhere and they need to be prevented. They are such a growing concern that based on BMC research with Forbes Insights, 97% of the execs interviewed expect a rise in data breaches in the next 12 months.
As we looked deeper into this issue, we've discovered that data breaches occur even when vulnerabilities are identified. Frequently, the data losses could have been prevented by a patch that was available, but not deployed, at the time a vulnerability occurred. According to Rob Joyce, head of NSA's Tailored Access Operations, "[With] any large network, I will tell you that persistence and focus will get you in, will achieve that exploitation without the zero days," he says. "There's so many more vectors that are easier, less risky and quite often more productive than going down that route. This includes, of course, known vulnerabilities for which a patch is available but the owner hasn't installed it."

What is a persistent threat?
Persistent threats have hidden and continuous computer hacking processes that target a specific entity. These threats are covert, focus on accomplishing a specific task, and can happen continuously over time. They are considered persistent because an external system continuously monitors and extracts data from the target. If these threats are advanced, they can also involve planting remote administration or exploit software in the target's network that allows access to the victim's network and acquires administrator privileges on the victim's computer. Ultimately, hackers can steal data from the victim's network.
Persistent threats involve general attacking in areas that you may not realize are vulnerable. For example, a major retailer was attacked through their heating and cooling system for their building infrastructure, which became a gateway for hackers. The vendor had opened up the network to make fixes to a related system. A hacker was looking for that network, saw a hole, exploited it, and compromised customer data that had a price tag of more than $250 million and damaged the company's reputation.
What's the cost of being vulnerable?
The Office of Personnel Management breach that affected more than 22 million people could be the single most damaging breach to US national security of all time. Those who have access to some of the most sensitive information in the world had the contents of their entire background checks stolen by an unknown hacker. Imagine if a hacker knew exactly which buttons to push in order to blackmail someone into turning over vast swaths of sensitive or classified data. A hacker could also use this information for identity theft. More than 22 million government workers and contractors on government projects are now vulnerable. Also, OPM is providing credit monitoring services to some of the people affected by the hack. With the average cost of a monitoring service being $20 per month per person, the cost of this hack is as high as $440M per month and $4.88B per year.
Many breaches are avoidable
Security and Operations executives acknowledge that their organizations face unnecessary risks. The problem is deploying those available patches throughout a complex IT environment in a reasonable timeframe. WhiteHat Security says that it takes 193 days on average – more than six months – to resolve a vulnerability.
One reason it takes so long is the complexity of modern IT environments. Virtualization and cloud computing have made it difficult to control the creation of new systems. It's not uncommon for teams to build their own IT services outside the IT department ("Shadow IT"), which makes it harder to track and identify vulnerable systems.
The increasingly complex nature of modern applications makes it hard to isolate and secure parts of the supporting infrastructure. Administrators may be afraid that an action on one component may have cascading consequences elsewhere.
Even though a vulnerable system has been identified, users are often reluctant to accept downtime of services that they require. Often, easily understood business concerns trump seemingly abstract security concerns and there's a disconnect between the role and priorities of the Security team, which needs to protect the enterprise, and the Operations team, which is focused on ensuring performance and availability. This disconnect can lead to a gap between the organizations, known as the SecOps Gap, which may result in neither priority being satisfied unless the organization is governed by a policy that can close the gap.
Automate to close the SecOps Gap
Enterprises can address challenges created by persistent threats through effective and timely remediation. They can shrink and close the SecOps Gap by taking into account the different priorities and concerns of those two roles, and enabling both teams to achieve what they need. This includes having a governance strategy that integrates and automates discovery, definition, auditing, and remediation to ensure a level of continuous and vigilant compliance. Vigilant compliance is based on managing by policy, and not just by alert.
The Security team wants to close the window of vulnerability, the period of time during which a bug or vulnerability can be exploited to penetrate a company's defenses, by deploying patches and fixes as quickly as possible. They are usually very aware of how long it takes to make these changes, and vice versa, of how quickly attackers can move to exploit a new weakness. Security teams are judged by how well they block and remediate threats and not on how installing a new security patch impacts uptime.
The main concern of the Operations team is to reduce both scheduled and especially unscheduled downtime. A leading industry analyst reports that 80% of downtime is due to misconfigurations – errors in manual data entry, incorrect or incomplete targeting of activities, or incomplete execution. The Operations team aims to minimize this risk with procedures, but these have the unfortunate side effect of introducing delay into the process.
BMC research indicates that 60 percent of executives say Security and Operations teams have only a general or little understanding of each other's requirements. Conflicting priorities, mounting pressure, and little understanding of each other – what can organizations do to improve this situation before it is too late?
Strategies for ensuring Security
To stay on top of today's complexities, threats and opportunities, large enterprises are developing SecOps strategies that focus on three core areas:
1. People — Security and Operations professionals share accountability for making business systems more secure and reliable
2. Processes — Guide and integrate the activities of key stakeholders in Security and Operations
3. Technology — Heighten security by replacing error-prone manual processes with automated tools.
In the digital era, with more and more internet-visible services, persistent threats are the most dangerous type of attackers because they keep looking for gaps in security. To improve the cadence of rapidly closing security vulnerabilities, organizations need to recognize and balance the needs of Security and Operations. This will help digital organizations move faster, while maintaining availability and keeping their customers happy.

Fundamentals of Microelectronics
Wiley, May 19, 2006 - Technology & Engineering - 800 pages
To succeed in the practice of microelectronics in industry, students must develop the ability to think intuitively about circuits. They need to move beyond simply plugging and chugging numbers in equations and be prepared to face real design trade-offs.
Fundamentals of Microelectronics, Preview Edition helps students develop intuitive techniques so they can design and implement circuits not just analyze them. Using many real-word examples and applications, the text motivates the student to understand the importance of today's microelectronics.

As an introductory text, there is no substitute. This book is so amazing. The focus on intuitive design is what sets it apart from other texts. Take the classic Grey and Meyer, or Sedra and Smith. Those guys will show you how to derive gain of an op-amp over the course of several pages. Razavi will show that too, but will emphasize how to quickly analyze a circuit.
My friends call this my "cheat" book, because it is SO clear. The examples are perfect. They start with the simple, basic circuits, and built up to more complex ones.
If you want a really solid understanding of transistorized circuits, buy this book. If your course requires one of the "other" texts, I would still buy this one. The text is so practical, so elegant.. it has no equal. And the author writes it in a very personal way, that is a big contrast to the old and cold textbooks (S&S, G&M).
Thanks Razavi, much appreciated. You have definitely left your mark.

It's easy to have a child. It's not nearly as easy to raise one well.
The key thing to remember as a parent is that children need to push boundaries sometimes. They need to do things wrong and discover the consequences of doing so.
It is incredibly easy to get frustrated with this when your child spends an entire day pushing boundaries.
The solution, I've found, is to simply give yourself a parental time-out. If you have another parent, ask them to take charge for a while. If you're a single parent and the children are old enough, put them in another room for a while. If they're not old enough, it's worth it sometimes to hire a babysitter just to give yourself a break.
It's okay to be frustrated and upset. The important part is to know how to deal with it well.

So I finally finished glassing my 2nd plywood board.
This one is made of 2 layers of 1/4" Birch plywood glued up on a rocker table -
I was planning on vacuum-bagging it but the fridge pump I had died, so I decided to hand glass it with UV Polyester resin. I glassed the top first with a single layer of 4 oz. E glass to help hold the rocker then flipped it and put a bead of glass roving all the way around the edge (that sucked, ABS is the way to go). Then I glassed the bottom with a single layer of 4 oz. E.
Top hotcoat sanded
Bottom hotcoat sanded
Flash edge trimmed
I pulled too much resin out of the deck laminate which is why there are white cloudy patches. That's the dry weave showing through the hotcoat. The bottom came out perfect though since I learned not to try and pull too much resin out of the laminate and to wet it out properly.
I got to ride the board a few weeks ago in the ocean in some onshore chop. Worked great, it's a bit flexy but that works well since I usually ride in the ocean and when there's wind it's usually choppy and bumpy.
All in all I'm really stoked how it turned out. It cost about $150 total including the straps/pads/handle. Can't beat that. I copied the outline from a Spleen Rip 138 that my friend has that I've used quite a bit and really like how it rode.

New police dog on patrol in Marion
Staff writer
A new officer is on duty with the Marion police force and though she has four legs, a deep growl, and a bit of a shedding problem, she is ready and willing to take up patrol life with her partner, Officer Mike Stone.
"Ana is a Czech shepherd," Stone said. "She is a hard dog, meaning she is genetically bred to work."
The new patrol dog is specifically trained for apprehension, narcotics detection, and patrol work, and is completely dedicated to serving at Officer Stone's side.
"Wherever I am, that is where she will be," Stone said. "During her adjustment period we even had to bring her kennel into the house because she didn't want to be out of my sight."
Ana replaces Raven, another Czech shepherd who served with Marion City police for several years. Raven now lives with Marion Police Chief Tyler Mermis as a family dog, retired due to hip dysplasia issues, but officers still consider her a member of the police force.
Stone said the going price for dogs like Raven and Ana is from $7,000 to $10,000.
"We are very grateful to Steve Cross, of Cross Valley K9s, for giving Ana to us," Stone said. "He wanted her to go into a working situation like what we have here."
Even though Stone officially owns Ana and pays for most of her feed, care, and training expenses out of his own pocket, the police department appreciates donations from the community to help with her upkeep. Chief Mermis recently sent letters to community businesses requesting donations for the $2,500 needed yearly for police dog care.
"The city donated a kennel for her, but until they decide it is worth creating a line item for the budget, I have to pay for all of her needs," Stone said. "It is really nice to have a dog of this caliber available for city use. If there were ever a school shooting, a drug bust, a missing child, or any need for a tracking dog, we are here, ready to serve."
Ana was born and raised in Mulvane. She is two-years-old and comes from proven working bloodlines that date back to former Czech Republic border patrol dogs. Officer Stone came to the Marion City police force in August 2012 after serving as Police Chief in Florence.

The Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento ExpansionNavigation
Check out the video documenting the closure of Sutter Memorial Hospital and move to our new Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento
On Saturday, Aug. 8, after three years of planning and preparation, Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento staff moved 161 patients from Sutter Memorial Hospital to the new Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center and remodeled Ose Adams Medical Pavilion (previously called Sutter General Hospital), in just under 18 hours.
In addition to new surroundings, staff also put their training to use as the medical center went live on Sutter EHR.
The support shown by the entire medical center was tremendous. The patient move teams performed spectacularly, the physician support for both the move and EHR go-live was beyond measure, and the EHR super users and hundreds of EHR staff provided needed support throughout the day.
Not only did the physical move go incredibly well, but all of Sacramento took notice. Earlier in the week, SMCS CEO Carrie Own Plietz accepted a proclamation from the Sacramento City Council. Local television stations and newspapers reported on the move, starting several days in advance, developing more than 60 news stories describing the move activities.
SMCS Move Facts:
• A total of 161 patients were moved from Sutter Memorial to SMCS.
• Patients moved – from hospital room to hospital room – at an average pace of 23 minutes, with the shortest time of 16 minutes.
• The teams moved a patient an average of every 7 minutes.
• The first labor patient brought over from Sutter Memorial also delivered the first baby – a boy – at 3:22 a.m., marking a historic moment for SMCS.
• The last baby born at Sutter Memorial Hospital arrived at 1:46 a.m., and the final notes of Braham's Lullaby sounded through the halls to mark a final historic moment for Sutter Memorial. (See story on the SMCS Newsroom here.)
• Drs. Ingram and Longoria completed the last two cardiovascular cases at SMH on Thursday, Aug. 6.
• Dr. Wertz, who opened the NICU in August 1974, escorted the last infant out August 2015.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make the move not only possible, but a huge success. We look forward to settling into our new home and creating a new family in Midtown.
As of this post we are 1 day and 14 hours away from our BIG MOVE. Starting at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 8 patients will begin moving from Sutter Memorial Hospital to the Anderson Lucchetti Women's & Children's Center and Ose Adams Medical Pavilion on the Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento Campus.
Take a look at our new Women's & Children's Center
The Sutter Medical Center Emergency Department at Ose Adams Medical Pavilion (formerly Sutter General Hospital) has gone through a complete renovation and now has a new entrance. Patients and guests enter the Emergency Department on L Street between 28th and 29th streets.
On Aug. 8, the Sutter Memorial Hospital Emergency Department will close and the Sutter Medical Center Emergency Department at Ose Adams Medical Center will open a new dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department. The entrance will be the same as noted above, but will offer children and their families a dedicated waiting and triage area, patient rooms built with children in mind and play spaces.
The next step in opening our expanded medical campus is relocating our main lobby, including our Patient Registration and Cashier's office. On Thursday, July 30 our main lobby will open at the Anderson Lucchetti Women's & Children's Center, 2825 Capitol Avenue, across L Street from Ose Adams Medical Pavilion (formerly known as Sutter General Hospital). Our Patient Parking has also changed, and is now located in Lot B (enter on 29th Street between L Street and Capitol Avenue.
To celebrate our East Sacramento legacy and all the memories from the past 75+ years, we have produced a commemorative tile – replicating the seafoam green tiles many of us remember from Sutter Memorial Hospital's past. Tiles are $25 and include shipping. Order now.
We are extremely pleased to announce that Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento officially moved our first patients into the Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center (WCC) yesterday (July 22)! Following a visit from the California Department of Public Health this morning and subsequent approval, we moved our medical ICU units to new space on the 4th Floor of WCC.
The rest of the WCC will be occupied when we move Sutter Memorial Hospital on Saturday, Aug. 8.

I'm in love with Mushi-Pan right now and I also tried my own one some days ago! I also made some Matcha-butter-cream and Sesame-peanut-cream as a topping. It was delicious, but I want to try more flavors.
Do you have any tips for me how to variate the Mushi-Pan-dough a little bit?
What is your favorite-Mushi-Pan ingredient? (for example, chocolate, fruits or any other cream as a topping...?)
Thx for all your help! =D

You'd think with all the vintage rock and classic films and iconic imagery that Vietnam would be the easiest war to if not make a decent video game out of, then at least capture the essence of the conflict.
But nope. We've had the God-awful pastiche that was Black Ops' attempt. Battlefield tried, but Vietnam rivals 2142 for "most forgotten" game in that hallowed series. The less we say about games like Shellshock the better.
Yet here, out of nowhere, comes a Crysis mod, made by Germans, that looks fantastic. It appears to be only a single mission—and in German, which given the setting is weird—but whatever, that music, that foliage and that lighting looks perfect. If only they hadn't skimped on a few of the models, and actually made Jeeps instead of just re-skinning Humvees.
Having been in development for ages now, Vietcry is now available for download.

This edition of MediaCoder will take just about any media source and convert it into a format suitable for playing on Apple devices: the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
The program supports a wide range of audio and video formats: all MPEG variants, AC3, DTS, 3GP/ 3G2, OGG, AAC, WAV, RA and RAM, WMA, APE, FLAC, MKV, AVI, RM, RMVB, WMV, FLV and more.
It's also able to transcode directly from discs, URLs, RSS feeds, and most capture devices.
There's support for outputting in a variety of Apple-friendly forms, from basic iPhone/ iPod Touch 480x320 videos, to full-strength iPad-compatible 720p.
But if you'd like to process the video first, there are a huge array of useful filters on offer, more than you'd expect with a video editor. So you can trim or crop your footage, deinterlace and remove noise, tweak brightness, contrast or saturation, adjust gamma, hue and more.
Support for hardware acceleration technologies like CUDA means transcoding is generally very quick, though, and a multi-threaded design means you can even convert files in parallel for the best possible performance.
MediaCoder is a very comprehensive transcoder that makes it much easier to get awkward video and audio files onto your iPod, iPhone or iPad
