Lady With Sheets and Other Stuff
But the point of the story is the sheets she brought in with medical history, meds, allergies. I realize 911 had a previous post on this, but the information on these was incredible. She was allergic to 32 medications, musk scent, every single food dye (even green), potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, fruit packed in its own juice, and gravy (yes, gravy). She also had had 22 surgical procedures performed, and was taking 16 medications. I honestly could not stop looking at these sheets. How could someone have been exposed to 32 medications, much less be allergic to them? Now, she did have medical problems, namely diabetes and heart disease, but 32! And what is it with being allergic to gravy. God gave us gravy to enjoy and to slop biscuits in, not to be allergic to it. The sheets showed a tremendous exposure to the medical world, probably 1/2 our fault for throwing meds at her and 1/2 hers for demanding them and then not liking or tolerating them. And then again she could be just unlucky.
Anxiety or just being stressed out is not an emergency. Granted, the feeling may be disconcerting, but out of the 45,000 or so patients I have seen, I haven't had an anxiety death. Maybe I have just been lucky. But I did have a 25ish year old female type run up to the nurses station while I was finishing orders on a respiratory distress patient who I had just intubated and was getting her ready for the unit. The MI patient had just gone to the cath lab and I was about to get to another chart, when she informed me that if someone didn't give her friend something quick, she was going to have a FULL BLOWN PANIC ATTACK. I mean with the carpo-pedal spasms and rapid breathing and everything. "Oh, my gosh" I said and ran from the critically ill patients room to help this poor lass. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't do that. But I did tell her friend to just stop talking, that all her talking was starting to bother me, and I gave her friend the required vitamin X. She lived, and we didn't even have to put a brown paper bag over her face. Ain't medicine a beautiful thing.

I don't know doc... I had a patient once who almost had a heart attack in the middle of a full blown panic attack and was near syncopal at the time. We nearly made her well and she almost got better in the ED. Unfortunately for her, she was nearly killed later that day by an almost drunk driver who had near anaphylaxis from red dye number two and almost required surgery for a nearly broken arm. Where is your compassion?ReplyDelete
You nearly almost had me concerned for that almost sick patient.ReplyDelete
Perhaps if you knew that she had pseudoseizures with acute chronic fatigue syndrome and traumatic fibromyalgia you would not be so nearly-concerned?ReplyDelete
When I read ACUTE chronic fatigue, my brain completely fried trying to unify the inherently blatant dichotomous duplicity of it all. I must instigate, propogate, and flatulate the injustice, inscrupatiousness, and shear constufabulinity of that statement.(O.K., I borrowed that last line from Jesse Jackson, but the rest was mine).ReplyDelete
Didn't you like the "God given gravy" alliteration.
Some people live for drama and would love to have an actual medical reason for feeling not so good. Sometimes things are hard. There doesn't need to be a medical reason for that. I would gladly trade my real medical problems with them and we would both be much happier. Too bad that just isn't possible...I think my mother in law would probably take me up on my trade. She has those sheets of paper listing all her "problems" that you speak of.ReplyDelete
forgive me for not giving props on the gravy comment. it was, as is so often the case with you, un-toppable. i got all exited writing about the nearly-sick. my sincere apologies.
rad girl,
you have made a true observation about those who are sick and those who wish to be. it is indeed sad that we can't all exchange it on ebay. thyroid cancer would bring a pretty penny. i'm sure and you could trade it out for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome at a steal.
So an acute panic attack doesnt count as an emergency? But you would treat them though, wouldnt you?ReplyDelete
Thought you wanted to end the suffering not ignore it.
actually no, ben, an acute panic attack is not an emergency. the trick is to make sure it's not something else. also, if you will take the time to read the original post you will see that schrodinger's cat was deeply involved with two different patients who were ACTUALLY DYING and was being distracted by the friend of someone who THOUGHT THEY WERE DYING. and we do truly want to end suffering, and death, and war, and hunger, and we are for the children and against bad people, but to quit being a smart ass what we want is to do the best we can for all our patients and not screw up and go home at the end of the shift without having to crawl inside a bottle of jack daniels to go to sleep.ReplyDelete
Well said, 911. As to Ben's comment, to someone who has them I guess they are distressing, but if confronted with a list of medical emergencies, like bleeding from the mouth and anus, a heart attack, stroke, gunshot wound to chest or abdomen, etc, etc, ( I really could go on and on) a panic attack is WAY down on the list. And in our business, worst comes first. Just because you got to the ED before the HIV patient with a stiff neck and headache does not mean you get your ativan or xanax before they get a CT, tap, antibiotics, diflucan, and acyclovir. SORRY.ReplyDelete
Hey, don't make fun of anxiety. If you had the "serious kind", you'd understand. There, but for the Grace of God, go you. I've lived with free-floating, "no-reason for it" anxiety since practically birth and it is like living in terror all day long.ReplyDelete
Let me just give you an example and you might understand a little better:
For me, it was always the thought of "infinity". When I was young, I had a very inquiring mind and wanted to know things like "what happened BEFORE the chapter of Genesis" or what happened AFTER we died and went to the afterlife. I wanted to know what happened when "Heaven ended". What happened in "the infinity of time"? What happened to our souls when time ended? How could there be infinity?
Thinking about these issues would invariably produce a panic attack in me at age 10 and upwards to where my blood would run cold and I would want to run screaming down the street in stark terror.
These days, after shrinks, anti-depressants, a history of ETOH abuse, recovery from ETOH, and the current membership in AA, I have learned to discipline my thoughts to simply not allow myself to think of panic-inducing thoughts---but the free-floating anxiety is still there.
Anxiety is real in a lot of people, doc. Be merciful...
No one ever said it wasn't real. It is obviously real. It usually requires investigation, therapy, counselling, and too many times drug and alcohol treatment, services not only not available, but not even appropriate in an ED setting. (I leave my therapist hat at home on a busy Saturday night shift, when I can barely stay afloat as it is.)Nearly every time all we can do is give anxiolytic drugs. But again, death is the ultimate endpoint, and if you are not near it in my ED, even if you feel like you are, you will get in line to be treated behind the people who are closer to the reaper than you.ReplyDelete
Focker out, and this horse if officially beaten to death.
Please BHR! You of all folks should know that we suck at treating chronic conditions in the ED. Sure we can dole out the benzos but that's a band-aid at best. Congratulations on beating your anxiety by the way, along with it's attendant problems.ReplyDelete
Last line of last post should read:ReplyDelete
and this horse IS officially beaten to death.
i don't know, seems more like that prize cow in "me, myself, and irene".ReplyDelete
No, the correct comment should be Yul Bryner's:ReplyDelete

I thought I was the only one whose ED has a "frequent flyer" who is allergic to gravy. And every painkiller on the face of the earth except for dilaudid.ReplyDelete
Considering the fact that said patient weighs 450 lbs, I would like to posit the idea that this patient is not allergic ENOUGH to gravy.
Perhaps the allergy to said gravy manifests as uncontrolled swelling up to 450 lbs. Which, of course, is accompanied by unimaginable pain, that can only be controlled by Dilaudid. I'll bet he has anxiety attacks, too. I'd be anxious if I had to worry about my gravy/narcotic allergy. What if somebody slips you some morphine-laced gravy on your biscuits? Come to think of it, I think they serve that in our cafeteria for breakfast....ReplyDelete

i'm sure and you could trade it out for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome at a steal.ReplyDelete
i'm sure this person would agree to trade.
- Nicole1:45 PM, May 14, 2007
I've never presented to the ED with a panic attack, but I can understand someone doing so when they have the FIRST ever attack (or one of the early ones before the patient has been dx'd with panic attacks, and understands what the heck is happening.) They are very frightening and unpleasant, and even when you learn how to prevent some of them and how to shut them down more quickly, the initial moments are truly awful.ReplyDelete
Once you know about your anxiety disorder and your panic attacks, there is NO excuse for heading to the ED when you have one. A person who anticipates "a full blown panic attack" surely knows that (1) they aren't really dying, and (2) EDs are not set up to handle mental health problems short of the type of crisis that gets you admitted to a psych ward.
So go ahead and be gentle with the "first timers," one you've ruled out a real life-threatening problem, but repeat trips to the ED for panic attacks is not a lot different than using the ED for other non-emergency services. In that case, long waits are appropriate and may, occasionally, deter that sort of behavior in the future.
Well said, Nicole.ReplyDelete
The Cat
Anonymous I don't appreciate your implication by listing my blog in your comment.ReplyDelete
Since you don't know me I don't think you should be posting referring to me.
I agree that some people "want" to be sick and use CFS & Fibro for attention. I assure that I have never gone to an ED for anything that had anything to do with Fibromyalgia. Things I have gone to the ED for - bowel obstruction, ruptured appendix, closed head trauma.

affection, love, esteem, warmth, sharing, and bonding. These gifts are as much
the right of older adults as they are of those who are much younger.
Three aspects of sexuality are covered in this topic: the changes that
come with aging, suggestions on how to adjust to these changes, and information
sexually transmitted infections.
In most
healthy adults, pleasure and interest in sex do not diminish with age. Age
alone is no reason to change the sexual practices that you have enjoyed
throughout your life. But you may have to make a few minor adjustments to
accommodate any physical limitations you may have or the effects of certain
illnesses or medicines.
Most physical changes
are the result of gradually decreasing
testosterone levels. These changes affect energy,
strength, muscle and fat mass, bone density, and sexual function.
Most physical
changes take place after
menopause and are the result of decreased estrogen
levels. These changes can be altered if a woman is taking
hormone therapy.
Not all women experience these problems. Those who do can
experiment to find ways to enjoy sex despite these physical changes.
In addition to
physical changes, there are cultural and psychological factors that affect
sexuality in later years. For example, in our culture, sexuality is equated
with youthful looks and youthful vigor. Too many people seem to think that as a
person ages, he or she becomes less desirable and less of a sexual being. Older
adults may accept this stereotype and buy into the notion that they are not
permitted or expected to be sexual.
Joy in sex and loving knows no
age barriers. Almost everyone has the capacity to find lifelong pleasure in
sex. To believe in the myth that older people have no interest in sex is to
miss out on wonderful possibilities.
Being single through choice,
divorce, or widowhood can present a problem also. As you get older, you may
not have as many people in your age group to choose from for partners. Women
and men who are single may not know how to deal with their sexual feelings.
Generally speaking, it is better to express your desires than to suppress them
until you are no longer aware that they exist.
Physical and
emotional needs change with time and circumstance. Intimacy and sexuality may
or may not be important to you. The issue here is one of choice. If you freely
decide that sex is no longer right for you, then that is the correct decision.
It is possible to live a fulfilling life without sex. But if you choose to
continue enjoying your sexuality, you deserve support and encouragement. You
may still find uncharted sensual territories to explore.
Just as exercise
is the key to maintaining fitness and health, having sex on a regular basis is
the best way to maintain sexual capacity.
And just as it's never
too late to start an exercise program, it's never too late to start having sex.
Many older people who have been celibate for years develop satisfying sexual
practices within new loving relationships. For others, self-stimulation
(masturbation) is common and poses no health risks or side effects.
You may have sexual changes as you get older. But some changes may be the
first sign of a medical problem. So talk with your doctor about any changes
that concern you. He or she may be able to recommend treatments that will help
Here are some other considerations:
Sexuality goes far beyond
the physical act itself. It is part of who we are. It involves our needs for
touch, affection, and intimacy.
Touch is a wonderful and needed sensation.
Babies who are not touched do not thrive. Children who are not touched develop
emotional problems. Touch is important to older adults as well. Touch helps us
feel connected with others and enhances our sexuality.
To give and receive affection is a
wonderful feeling. If you like someone, be sure to let them know. If someone
seems to like you, appreciate it. It is never too late to make new friends and
strengthen bonds with longtime companions.
Intimacy is the capacity for a close
physical or emotional connection with another person. Intimacy is a great
protector against
Talking with a confidant can
help ease life's problems. When you lose a loved one, intimacy may be what you
miss most. You may not find someone to fully replace a loved one who died, but
you can begin to rebuild intimacy in your life in the following ways:
Sexually transmitted infections—also known as STIs or
venereal diseases—are infections passed from person to person through sexual
intercourse, genital contact, or contact with semen, vaginal fluids, or
Older people may think of STIs as a problem that affects
only young people. But because of physical changes related to age, older adults
who are exposed to STIs may be more likely than young people to get STIs.
As you age, your immune system is not as strong, so it's harder to
fight off disease. And women who are past menopause have thinner vaginal walls
and less vaginal moisture than they did before menopause. Using a lubricant,
such as K-Y Jelly, may keep you from getting a sore or a tiny cut on your penis
or inside your vagina. This can reduce your risk of getting STIs or
Practice safer sex. For older adults,
this means always using
condoms and lubricants until you are in a monogamous
relationship and know your partner's sexual history and HIV status.
STIs can affect anyone, no matter what his or her age. Talk openly with
your partner about STIs, and take whatever precautions are needed to protect
yourself before you engage in any form of sexual contact. If you
think you may have an STI, see your doctor.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) _ Barack Obama refused Saturday to go along with other Democrats who are calling for Hillary Rodham Clinton to step away from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"My attitude is Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants," Obama said.
Obama told reporters he did not agree with one of his supporters, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, when he said earlier this week that Clinton cannot win the nomination and should therefore drop out. "I hadn't talked to Pat about it," Obama said.
At stops throughout the day, Clinton raised the question of whether she should leave the race � eliciting loud jeers from supporters.
"There are some people who say we should just stop these elections. 'Enough people have already voted, what's a few million more?'" Clinton said in Louisville, Ky. "I don't know about you but I'm glad Kentucky is going to be voting and you'll be choosing because it's such an important election." The state holds its primary May 20.
Campaigning in Pennsylvania, her husband, Bill Clinton, said party insiders looking to resolve the contest should step back and allow the process to move forward.
"We just need to relax and let this happen. Nobody's talking about wrecking the party," the former president said. "Everywhere I go, all these working people say: 'Don't you dare let her drop out. Don't listen to those people in Washington, they don't represent us.'"
The campaign on Saturday released a fundraising e-mail, signed by Bill Clinton, asking supporters to challenge talk of his wife departing the race by sending a check to her campaign.
"There's no better way to tell Hillary that you support her staying in than to make a contribution to her campaign," he wrote.
Obama offered a bit of tough love to Pennsylvania voters, saying some industrial and manufacturing jobs may not return to this steel region, but others could take their place.
Clinton also stressed job creation at campaign stops in Indiana and Kentucky, vowing to help manufacturers transition to new industries like clean energy and ending tax breaks for American companies that ship jobs overseas.
"I think this election, particularly here in Indiana, is about jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs," the former first lady said.
Jobs and the economy are front and center in the remaining primary contests between the two Democratic hopefuls. Pennsylvania, which holds its primary April 22, has seen its manufacturing base and especially its steel industry weakened in recent decades, as has Indiana, which votes May 6.
While campaigning in Ohio, another big manufacturing state, both Clinton and Obama criticized free trade deals and insisted the other candidate was not as reliable a protector of U.S. jobs. Clinton won that state's March 4 primary.
In Johnstown, a woman employed at a call center told Obama that 200 of her co-workers had lost jobs after the work was outsourced to India. She blamed free trade and asked what the Illinois senator would do about it.
"I don't want to make a promise that I can bring back every job that's left Johnstown. It's just not true. Some of those jobs aren't going to come back," Obama answered.
"What I can do is try ... to create an environment in which jobs are being created," he said, adding that they "may not be the same jobs that left and don't come back."
Speaking in Indianapolis, Clinton tied many of the region's economic woes to U.S. trade policy and to President Bush's laissez-faire approach to China, where numerous America jobs have been shipped in recent years.
"We are now deeply in debt. We owe money to everybody, not just to China but to Mexico and practically any other country you can think of. We are $9 trillion in debt," she said.
Obama, who is on a six-day bus tour through Pennsylvania, toured a factory that makes the wires that eventually become Slinky toys. He played with a Slinky through the visit.
Asked whether voters might be turned off by talk of some jobs not coming back, Obama said he was trying to give the phone worker a clear answer.
"The point I was making is that the same jobs are probably not going to come back. We're not going to suddenly see Bethlehem Steel reopen," he said. "What we're going to see is potentially some specialty steel of the sort that we saw at Johnstown Wire that has created a niche that can grow."
Also Saturday, former Democratic contender John Edwards made his first public comments on the race since dropping out two months ago.
"I have a very high opinion of both of them," Edwards said of Obama and Clinton at the Young Democrats of North Carolina convention. "We would be blessed as a nation to have either one of them as president."
At the same event, Chelsea Clinton said her travels have opened her eyes to sexism.
"I didn't really get how much sexism there still was in our country until I was at a rally with my mom in New Hampshire, and someone came up to me and said, 'I just can't see a woman being commander in chief,'" the former first daughter said.
She has always been supported by both the men and women in her family, she said. "I have been so profoundly more grateful than I have ever been over the past few months for my parents because of that."
Beth Fouhy reported from Louisville. Associated Press writers Mike Baker in Research Triangle Park, N.C., and Michael Rubinkam in Girardville, Pa., contributed to this report.
Obama says Clinton should keep running despite criticism from other Democrats
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) _ Barack Obama refused Saturday to go along with other Democrats who are calling for Hillary Rodham Clinton to step away from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

This. Changes. Everything: A Bed That Makes Itself
Okay so it doesn't actually change everything, that was a lie. I didn't get drunk last night. That...was also a lie. I'm the world's greatest lover. Now that -- that's just the God's honest truth and you can ask my girlfriend about last night if you don't believe me. "He passed out on the john doing a crossword puzzle." OH COME ON! This is a video of a robotic self-making bed. Will it try to smother you in your sleep? 100%.
When deployed, the self-tidying bed will release a small mechanical arm from a hidden area on the side and its two rollers will pull the cover or duvet up to the head of the bed. Your pillows aren't ignored either. They are straightened by cords attached to the pillowcases as they are elevated during the bed making process. When the cover is straight, the pillows fall back into place.
Oh man, I'm totally gonna get one. Then call those nutjobs from Ghost Hunters and convince them I've got the poltergeist of a hotel maid living in my bedroom. They'll totally believe it too. "God, they probably will." You think putting pillowcases over their heads when they're distracted then whipping them with fresh towels and yelling, "Housekeeping!" is going too far?
Hit the jump for a short but worthwhile video of the bed in action.
Thanks to Danny, who makes his bed the same was he did when he was a kid: just good enough to still get his allowance.

Linux Networx develops a LiSP
Supercomputer with a turnkey
SC06 Linux Networx wants to make supercomputers affordable for the Average Joe – or at least the Average Joe running complex crash/impact analysis.
The hardware vendor this week launched a fresh line of LS-P systems, which it bills as "turnkey" kit for the high performance computing crowd. We were told that Linux Networx was "too busy" to brief us about its hardware, so we're going to do our best with the company's cryptic statement.
Linux Networx uses a lot of phrases like "best-of-breed," "tightly integrated," and "time-to-productivity" to describe the LS-P gear. By this, we think the vendor simply means that it has certified specific sets of software to run on a specific server/storage/networking combination. And rather than selling you the disparate parts that make up this computing system, Linux Networx will assemble the bundle in-house and then ship it.
The first LS-P boxes will be tuned for the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), crash/impact analysis and structural analysis crowd and ship in the first quarter of 2007.
"LS-P systems performance tuned for ABAQUS, ANSYS Standard and LS-Dyna are available initially on platforms featuring Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors," the company said. "LS-P systems performance tuned for Star-CD are available on platforms featuring Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors."
More LS-P kit for handling FLUENT and Metacomp Technologies products will arrive in the first half of 2007.
LinuxNetworx has three LS-P configurations available, which you can see here. That is if you're not too busy to click on the link. ®

On June 16, President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) attended the National Hakka Conference. In addition to presenting the Hakka Contribution Award, he made sure that he stressed the results of his Hakka policies. The address, the whole of which was delivered in Hakka, won him enthusiastic applause.
Ironically, it was not that long ago that the Control Yuan proposed corrective measures to the Hakka Culture Park project. It is clear that the government's Hakka policy must be further consolidated, and that the National Hakka Conference has its job cut out for it.
First, current policy is focusing too much on facilities and not enough on support. New Hakka cultural centers are constantly being built around the country, but only a handful of these centers are being effectively run and connected to cultural workers at the grassroots level. Most of them are becoming breeding grounds for mosquitoes, or are being put to other uses. The cultural parks that have been established at great expense in Miaoli County's Tongluo Township (銅鑼) and Pingtung County's Neipu Township (內埔) may be beautiful to look at, but there is no substantive connection between these parks and the Hakka villages where they have been established.
The thinking that locks up Hakka culture in museums should be abandoned. Instead, the issue should be looked at from the perspective of eco-museums, which could be used as a platform to connect Taiwan's Hakka villages. This would not only offer a living Hakka culture, it would also bring a potential rejuvenation of the villages. The best example of this approach are the Hakka villages concentrated along Provincial Highway No. 3 and in the Liouduei (六堆) area.
Second, there is still much hype surrounding Hakka policy, but it is not going deep enough. This is the danger with the current festival-focused policy. The annual 12 Major Hakka Festivals rely on short and well-publicized activities to attract the attention of the media and local Hakka communities. These events burn up huge budgets, but fail to energize local culture.
Government resources to vitalize Hakka cultural festivals, should be directed at the skills acquired through continuous day-to-day training and not just focus on the festival as a temporary performance. Cultural festivals should be seen as a way to bring forward more Hakka performance troupes and traditional folk artists and to engage the younger generation. They should also be used to provide a more permanent platform for continued promotion and consolidation of cultural work.
Finally, the policy should not be disconnected from, or even function in opposition to, the issue of Hakka village development. These villages are predominantly rural villages and they are currently at risk of being emptied. While Ma vowed to bring prosperity to the villages at the National Hakka Conference, other policies continue to expose these villages to ecological disaster, causing people to move away.
Two examples are the algal reefs in Taoyuan County and the Tienhuahu Reservoir project (天花湖水庫) in Miaoli County. How is the government proposing to bring prosperity to Hakka villages and to vitalize the culture when people are moving away?
As local economies slump, the social economy is held up as a force that will revitalize communities and create more equal and sustainable development.
In reality, it is the traditional connection between clan society and local communities that has provided the development potential for the social economy. The Hakka village economy can step out of this narrow framework and connect to the social innovation that is occurring in the much wider agricultural and care sectors.
The policy should not only be a matter of the Council for Hakka Affairs building shiny facilities or organizing bustling festival activities.
As Ma's Hakka language skills improve, we are looking forward to the emergence of Hakka policies that rely on new and innovative ideas, such as the eco-museum and social economy concepts. These would consolidate Hakka culture and provide the villages with an environment conducive to sustainable development.

Skiing Weatherman: Last winter slope report
Our skiing weatherman, Herb Stevens, tells us about overlooked mountain for his last report of the season.
March is here...Winter still rules...
If anyone tries to tell you that "there is no such thing as TOO MUCH of a good thing", you can point to the missed opportunity of a major snowfall in the Northeast that is playing out as this week gets underway. You see, the front that moved through the region late this past weekend delivered cold air of arctic origin, and that is normally a good thing for skiers and riders in the Northeast, especially when you get into March when the days are longer and the sun angle higher...every cold day preserves the snow one day longer before the inevitable onset of spring and its' sloppier surface conditions. This time, however, the front went too far...all the way to the mid-Atlantic region, where it served as a focal point for low pressure to feed off as it moved out of the Tennessee Valley toward the Atlantic seaboard. The cold air banked over New York and New England is getting reinforced by the clockwise circulation around high pressure over western Ontario, and that is helping to suppress the storm track too far to the south to do us any good...this time.
While we are missing out on this shot at new snow, or "New England Clam Powder", as it was called on a recent hilarious SNL skit, I am confident we will have numerous other chances for a late season powder day as this month unfolds. The same western ridge/eastern trough setup at the jet stream level that has dominated for much of this winter is still in place, and based on analogs that I have identified along with longer range model forecast support, we should remain colder than normal much of the time for the foreseeable future. In fact, the first half of this week will be cold enough to force you to put on the same number of layers before you ski or ride that you would in the heart of winter, despite the sunshine the high pressure center will bring us as it slowly meanders eastward toward the Maritimes over the next several days. If you have your heart set on first tracks in the mountains this week, be prepared for low temperatures that start with "-"and have two digits...yeah, it is going to be mid- January cold. But the combination of any sunshine and lighter winds as we move through the week will make it more than bearable...just don't let it take you by surprise.
Now, later this week, the southern branch of the jet stream will send another storm rolling along from west to east, and the low will pick up a good supply of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as it does. By Thursday or so, there should be a low center down over the southeastern U.S. That is a promising location for a late season storm, but in order for that system to deliver the goods way up here in the Northeast, we will have to see the northern and southern branches of the jet stream come together, or "phase"...that will help make the storm turn the corner enough to come up the coast to the waters off New England. As I write this on Monday morning, I have my doubts as to whether it will be able to make a sufficient turn, but it is not anything that I am ready to totally dismiss. If that system fails to deliver the goods, there will be another coming along 3 to 4 days later, as the pattern looks ripe for storms for at least another couple of weeks. Here's a jet stream forecast from the Canadian weather service for a week from now that shows the setup that I am talking about.You can see the broad, cold circulation around the upper level trough centered northeast of Hudson's Bay...that is in a good position to pump cold air southward across the Great Lakes, into the Northeast and into the path of any storm that might want to run up the coast. In addition, small scale disturbances embedded in the flow around that low will add to the power of any storm that combines the two branches of the jet. The southern branch is also easy to see on this map...it originates off the West coast and then traverses the country. On this map, there is a significant disturbance (the big kink in the flow over Oklahoma and Texas) in the southern branch, one that will, at a minimum, drive a low pressure across the deep South. If a similar short wave trough (and it doesn't have to be as big as the southern branch feature) comes along in the northern branch, it can effectively "capture" the southern energy and wrap it into a significant East coast storm. We shall see, but I would be very surprised if the Northeast doesn't get nailed with at least one significant snowstorm before St. Patrick's Day, and if a couple of them came up the coast and tagged us, I wouldn't be shocked at all. All we need is the northern and southern branches of the jet to dance together and phase. The dancers are certainly out there on the floor...we'll just have to wait and see if they want to be partners.
Longer term, the prospects for a chilly March that belongs more to winter than to spring are excellent, so make plans to visit your favorite resort one or two more times. If you are lucky, you'll catch a late season powder day...or two.
March is the start of "special event season" on the slopes...here are a few that you might want to check out...

Story highlights
- Pantries can be practical and beautiful, but organization is key
- Take off the door for an open shelf look, and use your supplies as decor
- Want to show off your decor? Contribute to the next Open House iReport assignment!
A box of cereal or can of tomatoes is not usually a decorator's first choice to accessorize a kitchen. But when it comes to pantries, your sundries can be an unexpected element of decor.
A pantry is an extension of your kitchen, said Melanie Serra, an interior decorator, staging expert and instructor in Atlanta, Georgia.
"When you are entertaining, that is an area that people will still see, when you open your pantry to grab an appetizer or chips," she said.
Increasingly, it's a part of the kitchen that homeowners want to see. "In the '70s and '80s, you used to hide it behind closed doors," she said. But open shelving trends and the popularization of home staging has inspired courage for decorating food closets, she said.
"When you stage you should turn all your cans, making sure they are faced the same way and color coordinated. It adds a sense of order, Serra said. "People are so visual, they really want to see every space decorated so that (the entire home) flows."
But decorating with dry foods? It's a good idea, she said.
"When you display things like that in glass containers you're displaying texture and color." Polar opposites, like the rough texture of cereal flakes against the smooth, shiny texture of glass are very stimulating to the eye, she said. Pantries are also spaces that provide homeowners with a great opportunity to display inherited crystal or silver heirlooms.
In this edition of CNN's Open House, we look at organized pantries that take a practical approach to decorating as well as find beauty where it's least expected. We asked decor enthusiasts for advice, plucked from their own living spaces, on turning an over-stuffed pantry into a beautiful and useful part of the kitchen. Here's what they had to say.
Organize practically and stylishly:
KariAnne Wood displays her collection of plates and bowls in her butler's pantry because she uses them everyday. "The pitchers are used for sweet tea (with lime, of course) and the stacks of luncheon plates are used for parties," she said.
Storage and decor choices can have measurable applications. "I wanted to use glass containers so that I can just look up and see what we are running low on," said Tracie Stoll.
Don't hide your odds and ends:
"When you have containers that look pretty on the outside you may be more prone to keeping the space neat and tidy," observed Stoll.
In open shelf pantries, every item has visual meaning and adds to the ambiance of the room. "I think it is fun to incorporate pops of color with dishes and bowls," Stoll said, "maybe introduce a color you wouldn't normally buy."
Wood's large collection of white ware turns her pantry into a collection showplace and sets the tone for the rest of her china, which is also white. Against the soft green walls of the room, these everyday items stand out with a sculptural quality. Plate racks and hanging racks for wine glasses keep everything neat and tidy, Wood said.
Stoll also advocates taking cabinet doors off for a more open look. "Jars and baskets with cute labels looks great in any kitchen," she said.
Turn food items into flourishes:
"I think baking ingredients are so pretty," Stoll said. Sugar, flour, brown sugar, pasta, pretzels and cookies can be striking design elements when displayed in glass containers, she said. "Friends walk in and feel like they can help themselves and they do!"
Charming, see-through containers are user friendly but so are the large baskets Stoll placed at kid level. Her children can easily get their treats from the baskets and don't interrupt the organization of the higher pantry shelves.
Likewise, Wood keeps seldom used casserole dishes up high and out of the way in her butler's pantry.
But what if you don't have a huge pantry?
Not everyone can live in a huge, old, Kentucky farmhouse and have a walk-in butler's pantry like Wood. But she was able to apply the same design principles she used in her larger pantry in a much smaller space.
"I just remodeled a kitchen in our guest house with the same concept with wall cabinets," she said. She removed the wall cabinet doors and painted stripes on the inside of the cabinets. There, too, white china provides a striking contrast to the backs of the cabinets.

A man hassled a neighbour over his Wi-Fi allergies, and we dismissed him as a member of the tin-foil hat brigade. Now we're reading PopSci's look at the electro-hypersensitivity - the real deal gadget allergy - and we're feeling sorta like arseholes.
The article opens with an anecdote of Per Segerbäck, a serious electro-hypersensitive who lives in a cottage north of Stockholm. He can be rendered unconscious by a single mobile phone call.
The sickness stems not from the gadgets themselves but from the electromagnetic radiation they produce; it seeps from phones, computers, televisions, and pretty much anything else that you'd say defines our modern society as modern. Making matters even worse for Segerbäck and the similarly afflicted is that the science on electro-hypersensitivity is far from a consensus.
Still, fainting from a phone call is hard to argue with. Check out PopSci's article for the full story of people who really can't stomach gadgets. [PopSci]

Data structures and helper functions for calculating alignments
There are two ways to view an alignment: either as a list of edits (i.e., insertions, deletions, or substitutions), or as a set of sequences with inserted gaps.
The edit list approach is perhaps more restrictive model but doesn't generalize to multiple alignments.
The gap approach is more general, and probably more commonly used by other software (see e.g. the ACE file format).
|Data types for gap-based alignemnts
|Helper functions
|Gaps are coded as *s, this function removes them, and returns the sequence along with the list of gap positions. note that gaps are positioned relative to the *gapped* sequence (contrast to stmassembler/Cluster.hs)
|Data types for edit-based alignments
|An alignment is a sequence of edits.
|A substitution matrix gives scores for replacing a character with another. Typically, it will be symmetric. It is type-tagged with the alphabet - Nuc or Amino.
|A Selector consists of a zero element, and a funcition that chooses a possible Edit operation, and generates an updated result.
|The sequence element type, used in alignments.
|Helper functions
|Calculate a set of columns containing scores This represents the columns of the alignment matrix, but will only require linear space for score calculation.
|Evaluate an Edit based on SubstMx and gap penalty
|True if the Edit is a Repl.
|turn an alignment into sequences with - representing gaps (for checking, filtering out the - characters should return the original sequences, provided - isn't part of the sequence alphabet)

TORONTO — After a brief stint of being healthy, Matt Kemp is heading back to the disabled list for the third time this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Kemp on the 15-day DL Wednesday with a sprained left ankle and activated left-hander Ted Lilly.
Out of the lineup for 11 games with a sore left shoulder, Kemp came off the DL before Sunday's 9-2 win over the Washington Nationals. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, but limped off the field after sliding into home plate on a force play in the ninth inning and has not played since.
"That thing just didn't go anywhere for us," manager Don Mattingly said of Kemp's sore ankle. "We were hoping over 48 hours it would get a lot better. It hasn't."
Mattingly said Kemp did not fight the decision to return to the DL.
"Matt knew once it didn't go anywhere for him that we had to do this," he said.
Kemp's DL stint is backdated to July 22, meaning he's eligible to return August 6, but Mattingly said Kemp might need more time.
"After listening to [Dodgers medical director Stan Conte], he wasn't 100 percent sure," Mattingly said. "I think we're hopeful of that. We'll see."
Kemp missed 24 games in May and June with a sore right hamstring. A two-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner and two-time Silver Slugger, he's batting .263 with five homers and 27 RBIs in 62 games.
The Dodgers were in last place and 12 games under .500 on June 21. Since then they're a major league-best 22-5 and now sit first in the NL West.
"It's never easy to have to take that guy out of your lineup," Mattingly said. "We've been without him for a while and we've been OK. We feel like we're better with him."
Lilly is 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five starts this season, but has missed the past 42 games with a sore neck. He was also sidelined for 19 games in March and April while recovering from shoulder surgery, and later missed 17 games in April and May with a right ribcage strain.
Mattingly said Lilly will pitch out of the bullpen.

AUSTIN — The co-chairs of the House Select Committee On Transparency in State Agency Operation — state Reps. Carol Alvarado, D-Houston, and Dan Flynn, R-Canton — released a statement Tuesday about Hall's refusal to appear before the committee, which is considering his possible impeachment:
"On Dec. 10, 2013, we formally invited Regent Wallace Hall to testify before the Committee concerning his actions as a Regent at the University of Texas System. We were disappointed to learn, however, that he has declined our invitation to testify.
To date, the testimonies collected by the Committee have provided members with vital information necessary to conduct our investigation. In keeping with our pledge to provide a thorough and impartial process, our invitation to Regent Hall to testify still stands. We are eager to hear from him, and are prepared to accommodate his testimony."
AUSTIN — UT System Regent Wallace Hall, accused of leading a "witch hunt" against UT-Austin President Bill Powers, will not appear before the legislative committee mulling his possible impeachment.
In a letter sent Monday to the House Select Committee On Transparency In State Agency Operations, Hall's attorney Allan Van Fleet said the committee did not subpoena the regent as requested, which would afford him the ability to share information otherwise protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA.
"Based on the confusion this causes about the Transparency Committee's intentions, and the Committee's motion to refer specific issues for possible criminal investigation, the only sound legal counsel is to caution Regent Hall against voluntary testimony before the Committee," Van Fleet said. "Regent Hall has opted to be guided by this counsel."
Hall is under investigation by the committee for alleged abuse of power and failing to disclose lawsuits filed against him on his application to become a regent. The committee may vote to recommend articles of impeachment to the full Texas House of Representatives.
During proceedings last month, board of regents general counsel Francine Frederick testified that Hall was accidentally given private student information in response to voluminous open records requests to the University of Texas at Austin, which has produced over 800,000 pages worth of records.
She said she asked him to return the documents but was notified that he had already shared the information with his lawyers.
This prompted committee members to wonder whether Hall had violated FERPA by disclosing the information.
Van Fleet told the San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle a subpoena would allow Hall to discuss information gleaned from those records, which is legal under FERPA.
The committee issued a subpoena for Hall to appear Dec. 10, but retracted it because of scheduling conflicts.
Van Fleet said the committee also did not give Hall two weeks' notice as requested to prepare to appear at the hearing, which will be held Wednesday and Thursday.
Committee members requested Hall's presence in a Dec. 10 letter, eight days before they wanted the regent to appear.
Powers and UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa are scheduled to testify on Wednesday.
Committee co-chair Carol Alvarado, D-Houston, said the committee felt Hall would come before the committee of his own accord and did not require a subpoena. Alvarado said members gave Hall sufficient notice to appear at the hearing and asked him to provide a list of witnesses that he would like them to summon on his behalf.
"You'd think he would be eager to come and tell us his side of the story," Alvarado said.

Google, with the help of Moog synthesizer inventor Bob Moog, may turn millions of users into knob-twiddling musicians Wednesday.
In honor of what would have been the late electronic music pioneer's 78th birthday, the search engine's doodle was a tiny, on-screen replica of a Moog synthesizer, and a functional one at that.
Would-be Googlers can play and record their own tunes with all the usual Moog effects — oscillators, envelope, filters and more.
The doodle was already a hit Wednesday morning, but whether those Googlers will ever get around to Googling anything after messing with the Moog is another story.
Just be sure to keep your headphones on while you practice your scales.
Bob Moog died in 2005, four decades after he built the iconic Moog synthesizer and in the process helped revolutionize electronic music, psychedelic rock and jazz.

Northern Ireland's Lee Johnston has suffered a broken collarbone following a crash during opening practice at the MCE Ulster Grand Prix.
The Fermanagh rider has been ruled out of the event after he came off at the hairpin on his 250cc Honda.
Johnston claimed the man of the meeting award last year following a brilliant hat-trick, which included wins in both Supersport races and the Superstock event.
The East Coast Racing rider was aiming to finish the major international roads season on a high after a crash at the Spring Cup meeting at Scarborough in April hampered his prospects at the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.
Wednesday's practice sessions at Dundrod have been hindered by lengthy delays due to an oil spill in the morning and deteriorating weather conditions.

Athletic Uniforms
All game day athletic uniforms MUST contain some combination of both primary colors Red (Pantone 202) and Gold (Pantone 130). When other jersey colors are required, the Red and Gold both must be used on the jersey. See page six for the logo color options available on different color jerseys. Other appropriate uses of the secondary colors would include accessories such as pants, gloves, stripes, socks, etc. It is important to keep the primary colors front and center, so there is no confusion about the collegiate colors of the institution.
The approved athletic logos are the Emmanuel Lion and the Emmanuel E. As previously noted, the Emmanuel Athletic Wordmark must also be included on the garment or hat.
All uniform designs must be submitted to the Emmanuel Brand Committee for approval before purchase. The purpose of this requirement is to maintain continuity between the athletic brand and the institutional brand.
Specialized uniforms to support a specific cause may also be purchased and worn with the permission of the Brand Committee. Examples would include pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month or camouflage for Military Appreciation Day
Athletic Warm-ups
Just as with the athletic uniforms, all game day warm-up attire must contain some combination of the primary colors Red and Gold. It is necessary for there to be color consistency between the warm-ups and the uniforms so there is no confusion about the true collegiate colors of the institution. The secondary colors Black, White, Blue and Gray may be used for pants, hoodies, etc. However, please refer to page six for color options.
The only exception to this rule is for one color screen-printing or embroidery, such as on t-shirts or fleece pullovers. Red or Gold cannot stand alone against a Black or Blue background because this can cause confusion about the primary colors of Emmanuel. Appropriate background colors for one color printing are the secondary colors Gray and White. Please refer to page six for these color options.
All warm-up attire designs must be approved by the Brand Committee before purchase. Other color combinations may be approved by the Brand Committee for special occasions, or due to extenuating circumstances.
Other Athletic Apparel
Other athletic apparel, such as promotional t-shirts, polo shirts, practice attire, camp t-shirts, or other specialty clothing or merchandise must adhere to the same color guidelines as outlined in the previous section and must be approved by the Brand Committee before purchase.

Defenseman Matt Niskanen scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Sidney Crosby had two assists as the Pittsburgh Penguins extended their winning streak to 10 with a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.
Niskanen's goal at 11 minutes, 58 seconds came nine seconds after the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins killed a four-minute penalty.
Their win streak is the second-longest this season.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves, while Crosby earned his NHL-leading 36th and 37th assists for the Penguins, who were without reigning Most Valuable Player Evgeni Malkin (shoulder) for a sixth game.
Braden Holtby made 34 saves for Washington.
Alex Ovechkin gave Washington a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal in the second period, but Pittsburgh tied it three minutes later when Paul Martin scored his sixth of the season. It was the Penguins' league-leading 28th goal on a power play.
In Newark, New Jersey, Michael del Zotto scored a short-handed goal and set up Rick Nash's game winner to lead the New York Rangers to a 3-2 victory over struggling New Jersey.
Carl Hagelin also scored and Henrik Lundqvist had 29 saves as the Rangers won their second game in two nights after a three-game losing streak. New York moved into a tie for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Travis Zajac and Anton Volchenkov scored for New Jersey, who lost their third in a row (0-2-1) and slipped into a tie with New York, who have a game in hand.
Devils goalie Martin Brodeur was on the bench for the first time in a month, but he is expected to play today. New Jersey are 3-8-2 since he went down.
Johan Hedberg, who has started all 13 games since Brodeur sustained a pinched nerve in his back, made 19 saves.
In Uniondale, New York, Sergei Gonchar scored with a minute left for Ottawa, who netted four goals in the third period to beat the New York Islanders.
Gonchar's second goal of the season came on a blast from the point to make it 4-3 and Guillaume Latendresse added an empty-net goal to seal the win. Jakob Silfverberg and Zack Smith scored in a 68-second span early in the third period to tie the game after the Islanders led 3-1.
Ottawa have won three straight.
New York's Josh Bailey scored the go-ahead goal 14 seconds into the second period and Lubomir Visnovsky extended the Islanders' lead to two goals.
Keith Aucoin appeared to give the Islanders a 4-3 lead at 7:22, but the goal was disallowed because he kicked the puck past goalie Ben Bishop.
Ottawa's Matt Kassian opened the scoring at 6:23 with his first goal of the season and first with the Senators.
In Los Angeles, Jonathan Bernier made a career-high 40 saves, while defenseman Drew Doughty ended a 32-game, regular-season goal drought as Los Angeles beat Phoenix.
Shane Doan scored twice in the third period for the Coyotes, who were shut out in their three previous games.
Bernier extended Phoenix's scoreless drought to 245 minutes, 32 seconds since rookie Rob Klinkhammer's goal against Jonathan Quick in the Coyotes' 5-2 win over the Kings on Tuesday last week. The Coyotes had been stopped on 133 consecutive shots before Doan's first goal.
Dustin Penner and Jarret Stoll also scored for the Kings, who have won 12 of 16 games and 11 of 12 at home.
Stoll connected on a power play with 6:14 remaining.

Freedom of Information (FOI) request
Within the cemeteries we manage there are various sections, a variety of styles of interment and memorialisation and characteristics at times tailored to the needs of particular cultures.
The Trust is faced by the challenge of trying to serve the needs of its community as well as ensuring its ability to maintain the ambiance of particular areas and its ability to maintain its sites in perpetuity.
To ensure clarity, when a person (the Applicant) seeks to purchase a Right of Interment for grave, crypt or memorial or a plaque or other good or service at one of the sites (the Cemetery) managed by the Trust they will usually be required to complete an application form.
That form will detail the general conditions that apply. These general conditions are listed below. In addition there may be specific terms and conditions related to particular transactions. To obtain a copy of the additional terms and conditions relating to a specific area please contact us. The Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust reserves the right to amend any or all of the terms and conditions at its discretion at any time.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam's office has released a text message sent by U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais after details emerged about the congressman once urging a mistress to seek an abortion.
Haslam said at the time that he didn't want to opine on the subject until speaking with DesJarlais — a conversation that still hasn't taken place three week later.
DesJarlais in the text message dated Oct. 11 thanked the governor, a fellow Republican, for withholding judgment. He also offered to speak to Haslam at his convenience.
The congressman doesn't dispute a transcript of the conversation with a woman he dated while she was also under his care as a doctor. But he has said he was only using strong language to persuade her to admit she wasn't pregnant.
