Situation: A large hospital system had grown through acquisition over a number of years. As the system expanded, it adopted a market-based compensation philosophy. However shift differentials were never adjusted to market rates. In addition, there were inconsistencies in how shift differentials were applied across the system. The system's Compensation Director decided to tackle the issue and develop one market-based shift differential plan that would be used for all employees across the system. The change impacted thousands of employees, some who would get increased shift differentials and some who would receive less. It was critical that employees clearly understood the change as well as the system's rationale for making the change and the new process that they would be required to use. Concerned not only about the effect on morale but the potential for the compensation change to become a public issue, the hospital system reached out to Tipton Health Communications.
Solution: Tipton facilitated a number of working meetings with Human Resources and department managers representing every hospital in the system as well as the major employee groups affected by the change. From these meetings, Tipton developed a comprehensive communications strategy and messaging. Tipton identified six different target groups and created customized plans for each. Tipton also provided counsel that led to a change in timing of the shift differential as well as increased transition compensation for those employees who would receive a smaller shift differential. Tipton's strategy relied on clear, consistent messaging delivered in small group face-to-face meetings by the affected employees' direct managers, who were supported by Human Resources team members. Managers were provided education as well as talking points. Companywide information was distributed after the face-to-face meetings took place.
Results: The hospital's Compensation Director and Vice President of Human Resources reported that the communications campaign was completely successful. Employees reported that they understand the plan change and how it affected them. The Compensation department received only a handful of calls about the change. The issue was effectively managed internally and never became and external media problem.

I'll end this year with a look back at this blog. Year 2008 has seen many trends on this blog—I was literally exploring the world of blogging. I had no focus in the beginning, but towards the end of this year you might have noticed a shift towards the world of Sure Step, methodology in general and topics of the sort. The trends I noticed have largely influenced this blog's shape, and have definitely defined its future direction.

You are consulting for a customer, and they ask you:
– "There is a problem with setup for this item, when I calculate the requisition plan, the system suggests purchasing it, while I have it on another location, and I'd like it to suggest transferring it from that location, instead of purchasing it. Can you fix it?"
Assume you aren't completely sure in the answer. What do you tell them? What do you do?
Top 5 qualities of a great Microsoft Dynamics consultant
My last two posts have been a detour from my regular themes, into something that might remind you of human resources. I've explained what Microsoft Dynamics consultant does, and how it looks through phases of Sure Step implementation, and I promised to conclude this journey with explaining what I believe to be the 5 most important qualities every great Microsoft Dynamics application consultant must posses.

Bruce Lee Movie review
Director Prashanth's debut film Bruce Lee is another dark comedy that has graced the theatres of Tamil Nadu this Friday. Starring GV Prakash and Kriti Kharbanda, this film has music composed by the former himself. The one-liner of the story s extremely simple – Bruce Lee (played by GV Prakash) and his friend Abbas (played by Bala Saravanan) along with their lovers run for their life after being chased by a menacing don. Why are they being chased? Will Bruce be able to save his dear ones from the tragedy? Watch the film to know the answers.
GV Prakash's act as a cowardly man in life is commendable and he has improved a lot performance-wise.
Also, he has concentrated more on the songs and background score and it has helped a lot in elevating a haphazard script.
Motta Rajendran's appearance brings the much-needed laughs in the climax. The scene where he imitates Ajith and Vijay brings
Munishkanth tries extremely hard to bring in Marlon Brando's Godfather act in his performance but fails miserably.
Director Prashanth has picked a weak plot and should have concentrated more on making the screenplay better.
A watchable affair with few laughs.

See the ongoing progress WorldTeach volunteer Emily Leazer has made creating a school computer lab in Namibia!
January 20, 2013: Emily mentions her first project for the school's few existing computers…internet!
"On Fridays I only teach 3 classes so most of the morning I spent getting to know the staff and mingling with the students during the break. It was so fun to walk up to them and watch them look at each other and giggle then say 'Hello miss' very shyly. My first few classes were mostly introductions and discussing class rules but Monday I will begin officially teaching. My school has a small library and I have been put on the library committee so I will be hard at work this year helping to improve that for the learners. There are a couple of computers in the staff room but no internet, which is another goal of mine for the year. The principal is very interested in acquiring internet for the school so hopefully we will be able to put together funds for this. In addition to teaching English I will also be teaching a couple of classes called Basic Information Sciences, where I will teach them about technology and research, which is why internet will be crucial. As the projects I hope to take on become more concrete, I will probably be looking to do some fundraising back home, so stay tuned for more on that."
March 25, 2013: Only two months after first mentioning her school computers (or lack thereof), Emily has begun creating a computer lab to soon be filled with 20 donated laptops!
"It's hard to sum up several weeks in one post so I'll try to touch on some of the highlights. Probably the most exciting thing I have to share is the progress I am making on creating a computer lab at my school. Thanks to the incredible generosity of many of you back home, my school is going to be receiving 20 laptop computers. For a school that currently has three outdated desktops and no internet, this is a game changer. The principal, teachers and learners are all extremely excited and cannot wait to get their hands on these computers. Fortunately, there is an unused classroom at our school that the principal is letting me use to turn into a computer lab. However this will require some renovations. Thanks to some friends of friends here, I have been able to acquire some free paint for the classroom. Within the next couple of weeks we will be painting, laying down some flooring, installing burglar bars and hanging blinds for our soon-to-be computer lab. The principal suggested I choose a few learners to be my helpers/assistants for this project. As to be expected, I had dozens of them asking me to be a part of this so to narrow down to a few dedicated ones, I've created an application process for them. The goal behind this is also to familiarize them with what it's like to fill out an application, be interviewed, etc. Time is really starting to fly here and term one is already winding down. My goal is to have the room ready before we leave for holiday in mid-April, which means I'm going to be very busy so the posts may remain few and far between for a bit longer…"
April 12, 2013: The first picture of the new computer lab is posted under the title, "Caution, Wet Paint!"
"As the term is winding down, I've been very busy working to get this computer lab ready before we leave for May holiday. Here are a few pictures of our painting in progress last weekend. I'll post some of the finished paint job later this weekend. This weekend's task is laying vinyl flooring…should be interesting. More photos to come…"
April 21, 2013: Progress made by Emily and members of her host community!
May 21, 2013: As Emily writes, "ALMOST DONE!"
"After about six weeks of hard work, the computer lab is almost open for business! The tables and computers are being put in over the next couple of days. Pictures of the finished project to come soon. A huge thanks to everyone who has played a role in this project but just to name a few: My amazing parents and grandparents who have provided support both financially and emotionally, the FSI computer department for their help getting the computers together and ready to be sent, Bill Hudson, whom I've never met, yet was generous enough to donate 11 of the laptops we received, all of the friends and family who have donated money to help with this and other projects, Kristin and Johnny for their help painting and hanging blinds and Jan for truly pouring in the blood, sweat and tears with me to get this classroom ready to go. I COULD NOT have done any of this without all of your love and help. You will never know how much this means to my school and how much this has the potential to truly impact the futures of these kids."

In October 1998, a North Carolina jury made national headlines by handing down a $500,000 malpractice verdict against a university health service psychiatrist and in favor of a former patient who went on an unprovoked and random shooting spree, killing two people and wounding several others (and who was himself wounded by responding police and subsequently tried for murder). On December 19, 2000, the verdict was overturned on appeal and the claim dismissed. Williamson v. Liptzin, 2000 N.C. App. LEXIS 1276 (N.C. Ct. App. Dec. 19, 2000).
In May 1990, while an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina, the plaintiff visited the university health service as a "walk-in" and was counseled for relationship issues and academic problems. The progress note concluded that the plaintiff's problems were "fairly normative" and no follow-up was scheduled.
Two and one-half years later, in September 1992, as a 24-year-old law student on the same campus, the plaintiff began screaming at other students and inexplicably striking himself in the face. He was referred to the university health service and from there was admitted involuntarily to the university hospital. He disclosed to his inpatient treaters that he had been hearing a voice for eight months and that he believed he was telepathic; he also revealed that he had a gun in his apartment. His stay was brief, as he successfully challenged his commitment; the judge ordered the plaintiff discharged "and recommended that patient seek out-patient psychiatric counseling." Hospital staff arranged for the plaintiff's parents to confiscate the gun; the discharge diagnosis was "rule-out schizophrenia." The plaintiff evidently did not pursue follow-up.
Six months later, in early March 1994, the plaintiff was again referred to the university health service "after he disrupted class at the law school by announcing that he was a 'telepath.'" Intake staff diagnosed the plaintiff with "rule-out schizophrenia" and recommended outpatient treatment, including medication, which the plaintiff refused; the staff concluded that involuntary hospitalization was "not appropriate as student denies danger to self or others."
A law school dean informed the plaintiff that he might not be recommended as a candidate for admission to the bar unless he received counseling; the plaintiff promptly returned to the university health service. He saw the defendant for six counseling sessions (ranging from twenty to sixty minutes) over a ten-week period commencing on March 8, 1994.
At the first session, the plaintiff reported that he had believed he was a "telepath" for two years and acknowledged that he drank a six-pack of beer daily and used marijuana occasionally. Notwithstanding having reviewed the intake form from the plaintiff's May 1990 health service visit, the discharge summary from the September 1992 hospital stay (documenting eight continuous months of auditory hallucinations) and the March 1994 intake paperwork, the last two diagnosing "rule-out schizophrenia," the defendant "decided to record the more 'generous' diagnosis . of 'delusional disorder grandiose' . so as not to deprive plaintiff of the opportunity to practice law."
The defendant prescribed Navane, with which the plaintiff was substantially compliant during his ten weeks under the defendant's care. At the fourth of the six sessions, on April 5, 1994, defendant apprised the plaintiff that he would be retiring in June and suggested that the plaintiff "consider the possibility of seeing somebody on a regular basis in therapy, and that [defendant] would be happy to make a referral for him; it would probably make sense to do this sooner rather than later."
At the final session, on May 25, 1994, the plaintiff still did not know whether he would be staying in Chapel Hill for the summer or going home to stay with his parents. The defendant recorded in the chart that the plaintiff knew he was leaving the health service, that the plaintiff would be seeing his replacement in the fall semester and that the plaintiff knew he needed to contact the defendant's replacement to have his Navane prescription refilled. The defendant furnished a prescription for thirty Navane (about two weeks' worth, assuming b.i.d. dosing) and charted that the plaintiff was "content to stay on [Navane]." The defendant instructed the plaintiff to make an appointment with the defendant's replacement at the university health service or see his family doctor or the local community health service if he elected to spend the summer at home with his parents.
Under the defendant's care, on Navane, the plaintiff dramatically improved: the hallucinations and the telepathy delusions remitted, the alcohol and marijuana use diminished (though continued), the plaintiff completed his Spring semester law classes without incident, improved his grades and participated in a writing competition. Friends reported that he was "more 'like his old self.'" The plaintiff had no thoughts of violence or self-harm (and no history of violence, by the way, other than the peculiar episode of striking himself in the face twenty months earlier, in September 1992, which led to his sole hospitalization).
After termination with the defendant in May 1994, the plaintiff returned home to his parents' house for the summer. He stopped taking his antipsychotic medication and had no further contact with any mental health professional, yet continued to function well for over six months. The appellate court tersely reports:
"Plaintiff returned to Chapel Hill in August of 1994 for the fall semester. He attended virtually all of his classes and did not disrupt any of them. He passed all of his courses, managed his finances, and took care of his day-to-day needs, such as grooming, eating, and shopping. He took trips alone in his car, including trips to Connecticut and New York City over Christmas break."
The court seems to think that the last sentence in the foregoing quote bolsters the previous sentences, evidencing that the plaintiff's inner world remained integrated. A mental health professional would, of course, take at least a more skeptical, if not contrary, view of the plaintiff's taking "[long] trips alone in his car . over Christmas break," when suddenly stripped of the emotional support, external structure and continuity of living with his parents over the summer and then returning to the law school community in the fall.
It seems likely that, off medications for about seven months, the plaintiff's latest psychotic decompensation had begun by December 1994. Soon calamity struck:
"In January 1995, plaintiff returned to Chapel Hill and began living out of his car. He stopped attending classes and purchased guns and ammunition. In addition, the plaintiff returned to his parents' home, to retrieve a [sic] M-1 rifle, the gun UNC hospital staff noted he possessed. The weapon had been [at his parents'] since plaintiff's hospital stay in 1992. On 26 January 1995, eight months after his last session with defendant, plaintiff randomly fired the M-1 rifle at unarmed people in downtown Chapel Hill, killing two of them."
The plaintiff's malpractice suit focused mainly on the defendant's misdiagnosis of "delusional disorder" and on the rather inchoate follow-up arrangements.
The "delusional disorder" diagnosis opened the door for the plaintiff to claim, plausibly, that defendant misled him about the seriousness of the illness and even gave him "permission," in a sense, to cease taking his antipsychotic medication:
"Plaintiff believed that his mental illness was temporary and that the medication was a short-term measure. According to plaintiff, defendant told him 'that in his opinion, [plaintiff] was probably not really schizophrenic or psychotic.' Plaintiff further stated that defendant told him that 'if someday [he] wanted to go off the medication, that [he] could do that if [he] told someone [he] trusted." [] Plaintiff spent the summer at his parents' home .. He did not visit the community health center or Student Services. Plaintiff decided to stop taking Navane for a few days . [and] felt physically better. He determined that he would stop taking his medication indefinitely and informed his parents of that decision."
The plaintiff's three experts, two psychiatrists and a psychologist, hammered home this point. They concurred that the correct diagnosis was unquestionably schizophrenia, quite different from (and more ominous than) delusional disorder, that the advice that the plaintiff could go off his medication, if given, "would have been improper and an 'invitation to not comply with the recommended therapy,'" and that psychotic decompensation would then be inevitable, with the downward spiral fueled by deteriorating insight and judgment and continuation of substance abuse. The testimony of Dr. Warren, the psychologist, must have been especially weighty for the jury:
"Dr. Warren stated that plaintiff was not competent to take charge of his medical treatment at the time his therapy with defendant ended. Dr. Warren testified that there's nothing in the record that suggests that [plaintiff] got that [sic] information that he needed in order to make decisions about whether or not he had a major mental illness, whether or not he needed to take medication on a long-term basis, what he needed to do in case the symptoms got worse. [] Plaintiff reported to Dr. Warren on the day following the shootings that defendant had advised him that he could discontinue his medication if he told someone he trusted. [] . Dr. Warren believed that because plaintiff did not understand the seriousness of his illness, he could not make competent decisions concerning treatment."
Some additional, less important, points were made by the plaintiff's two psychiatrist experts. Both stressed the plaintiff's "history of noncompliance" as a particular warning sign that the defendant should have heeded. This does not seem especially fair, since a lay jury cannot be expected to know that "noncompliance" is so common in the initial stage of a major mental illness as to be virtually part of the disease itself. One of the psychiatrists further testified that the defendant's failure to go behind the plaintiff's discharge summary and read the records (viz., progress notes) of the plaintiff's hospitalization fell below the standard of care. This is arguable, perhaps, as the defendant's clinic and the hospital were part of an integrated (university) health care system but it seems somewhat "gilding the lily" insofar as the discharge summary itself clearly states "rule-out schizophrenia" as the diagnosis. The testifying psychiatrist does not seem to have identified any additional data, appearing only in the progress notes, that was missed.
Very significantly, since this was the issue on which the appellate court was later able to rescue the defendant from the jury's verdict, all three of the plaintiff's experts acknowledged on cross-examination that, notwithstanding the inevitability of the plaintiff's psychotic decompensation off medication, with possible risk to his own safety, his becoming dangerous to others was not foreseeable. As one expert put it, "nobody's crystal ball is that good . [even] if defendant had given plaintiff the name of a specific doctor to visit during the summer of 1994, [the expert] still could not predict [sic] what would have happened."
The defendants' three psychiatrist experts all made essentially two points. First, psychosis does not equate to dangerousness and dangerousness is notoriously unpredictable; as one put it, "because the base rate of violence is so low, and most schizophrenics aren't violent and most normal people aren't violent either, that demographic data does not get you anywhere in predicting dangerousness."
And second, university mental health is inherently "short-term . before [the students] have to make plans with or without [the psychiatrists'] assistance to get further treatment, or at least make choices in their life." This second point seems both factually dubious and of, at best, murky relevance. University students are a fairly stable catchment, often followed for several years (the plaintiff's contacts with his campus mental health service spanned four years, from May 1990 to May 1994); it is not clear that community mental health center clientele or private outpatients, given the limitations of health insurance coverage, have characteristically lengthier or deeper courses of treatment nowadays. And, in any event, even the three defense experts made no effort, so far as the appellate opinion indicates, to defend either the diagnosis in this case or the lack of specific follow-up arrangements, professional functions from which university psychiatrists surely are not uniquely exempted.
The jury found the defendant to have been negligent in his care of the plaintiff which in turn resulted in the shooting spree and led to the plaintiff's injuries: pain from being shot in the legs by the police (acting to stop the shooting spree), consequent surgery for the leg wounds, the distress of suffering through a murder trial, the ensuing psychiatric hospitalization following the criminal trial jury's insanity acquittal and "not [being] able to continue his legal studies or pursue a possible career." The jury found no contributory negligence by the plaintiff. The award was $500,000.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed. Tellingly, the defendant appealed mainly on grounds of lack of "proximate cause," and the court limited its focus to that issue, surgically excising the issue of negligence (from this negligence case).
Not once in its analysis alluding to the defendant's misdiagnosis or the scanty follow-up arrangements (or any action of defendant), the appellate court, citing first-year law school chestnuts such as Palsgraf v. Long Island Railway and Prosser on Torts, observed:
"The element of foreseeability is a requisite of proximate cause .. '[I]t is inconceivable that any defendant should be held liable to infinity for all the consequences which flow from his act,' [thus] some boundary must be set."
Recognizing that this rather mystical concept of how far downstream responsibility for one's negligence extends is almost always reposed in the jury (under appropriate instructions), the court nonetheless declared that this was that extremely rare situation where a court must step in and find a lack of proximity in causation as a matter of law:
"Despite [the] attenuated chain of events, plaintiff contends that the testimony of his experts was tantamount to the issue of foreseeability and was more than sufficient to establish that 'some' injury was foreseeable ... [W]e cannot agree . [T]he expert testimony presented by plaintiff established what was merely possible and not what was reasonably foreseeable."
The court stressed the long eight months between termination of treatment and the rampage:
"[P]laintiff's injuries were too remote in time, and the chain of events which lead to plaintiff's injuries was too attenuated for defendant's actions to be the proximate cause of plaintiff's injuries. It was eight months between plaintiff's last visit with defendant and the incident which led to his injuries. Plaintiff was, by all accounts, functioning normally when he last visited defendant in May 1994 . In August 1994, plaintiff returned to law school and began his fall classes . [H]e attended virtually all of his classes during the fall semester, without disruption, and passed every course . In January 1995, . [e]ight months after his last visit with defendant, plaintiff shot and killed two individuals in Chapel Hill, despite never expressing any intent to do so. Defendant simply could not have foreseen that as a result of this attenuated chain of events, eight months after his last appointment, plaintiff, who expressed no violent intentions or threats, would be wounded during a shootout, tried for capital murder, committed to a mental institution, and not able to continue his legal studies or pursue a possible career."
Seemingly even more important to the court was the intrinsic slipperiness of dangerousness predictions (as argued by the American Psychiatric Association, and allied amici). For this point, dictum from Tarasoff v. Regents of Univ. of California was offered up: "We recognize the difficulty that a therapist encounters in attempting to forecast whether a patient presents a serious danger of violence." The Tarasoff citation is doubly ironic insofar as (a) the language quoted cuts against the very holding of Tarasoff (viz., that a psychiatrist can be held liable for failing to warn of a patient's future violence) and (b) North Carolina remains among the roughly one-third of the states that have not addressed the Tarasoff question, pro or con, by statute or caselaw.
In this case, the court persuasively observed:
".North Carolina courts are reluctant to hold a person liable where the chain of events which led to the resulting injuries is unforeseeable, remote, and attenuated, even though 'some' injury to plaintiff was 'possible.' . The contemplation of what 'might' happen . and the consideration of 'risk factors' for violence to oneself which may or may not lead to a risk of violence to others, is simply not sufficient as a matter of law to establish the foreseeability of plaintiff's injuries or the circumstances in which those injuries arose. Furthermore, evidence of 'risk factors' for potential violence, such as gun ownership, being under a certain age, or being of a certain gender, implicates a large portion of the population and is simply insufficient in and of itself to prove foreseeability. Given the lack of evidence of violence or any threats of violence on plaintiff's behalf [sic], the connection between negligence and the injury appears unnatural, unreasonable, and improbable.' . We therefore conclude that the expert testimony presented by plaintiff established what was merely possible and not what was reasonably foreseeable."
The court's reasoning is labored and unconvincing as it struggles to justify preempting the jury on quintessentially a fact question and to wrestle with inconvenient North Carolina precedents. It is difficult to share the court's view, for example, that the defendant in the seminal state case on foreseeability, Hairston v. Alexander Tank & Equipment Co., had more reason to foresee harm in that case and was therefore properly held liable. A new car was sold, on which one of the wheels had an untightened lug nut; the wheel flew off but plaintiff safely stopped the car and was off the highway surface replacing the wheel when another driver, with supervening negligence, hit and killed the plaintiff. (One cannot help suspecting that the real distinction between the cases was the disparity in charm of the respective plaintiffs, a widow suing for loss of her husband's life versus a killer suing for loss of his prospective legal career.)
The point would seem to be that the court, cognizant of the heuristic and policy ramifications of its decision in the sensitive and important realm of mental health, was determined to reach a sound result, despite a rather weak hand dealt it by virtue of defendant's conduct.
"Imposing liability on a psychiatrist in an outpatient, short-term care setting for the actions of a patient that were at most based on risk factors and not foreseeability . would encourage psychiatrists and other mental health providers to return to paternalistic practices, such as involuntary commitment, to protect themselves against possible medical malpractice liability . North Carolina's policy on the mentally ill promotes less restrictive methods of treatment and more patient autonomy . 'a patient has an active responsibility for his own care and well-being' . It would therefore be irrational to promote unnecessary, more restrictive practices in affirming the judgment below."
While it is axiomatic that trial courts are concerned with justice (retail jurisprudence) whereas appellate courts address only questions of law (wholesale jurisprudence), it occurs not infrequently that appellate courts cannot help but feel responsible to rectify outcomes too feckless or unconscionable to bear, even where no legal principle has been clearly traduced. When they do so, the counter-axiom comes to the fore: "hard cases make bad law." Recognizing the dubiety of encouraging fact-challenges to tort verdicts, the court thus is at pains to curtail the precedential significance of its holding:
"We recognize that [North Carolina] jurisprudence in the area of proximate cause is quite varied . We further recognize that it is only in the rarest of cases that our appellate courts find proximate cause is lacking as a matter of law .. This is one of those rare cases. We conclude that given the very specific and novel factual scenario presented by this case, defendant's alleged negligence was not the proximate cause of plaintiff's injuries."
As legal precedent, there is considerably less to Williamson than meets the eye. In the first place, as a state court decision the case constitutes law only in North Carolina and, at that, carries less weight as an intermediate appeals court decision than would a decision of the state's supreme court. (The state supreme court could docket the case for review but this seems not a particularly enticing thicket.) Beyond North Carolina, the decision, not being law, would have weight only as "persuasive authority." It will have little, for two reasons.
First, the court has deliberately made its holding as narrow as possible, emphasizing that proximate cause determinations are necessarily sui generis (unique to each case). To underscore the point, the court recites over and over the peculiar facts of this case, including the eight months delay (during most of which the plaintiff was outwardly high-functioning), the absence of any history or threats of violence, the brief course of treatment and the setting (a university health service) and so on.
Second, in truth, the case was about contributory negligence, not proximate cause:
"Plaintiff was, by all accounts functioning normally when he last visited defendant in May 1994. Plaintiff spent the summer with his parents ., at which time he discontinued his medication and failed to visit a mental health center or to have his prescriptions [sic] refilled. In August 1994, plaintiff returned to law school and began his fall classes. Plaintiff testified that his hallucinations began to resurface gradually and achieved fruition sometime in August or September. However, the plaintiff attended virtually all of his classes during the fall semester, without disruption, and passed every course. He maintained his daily needs, including eating, grooming, shopping, and managing his financial affairs. Furthermore, after completing the semester, the plaintiff took two long trips alone, after which time he returned to his parents' home .. In January 1995, plaintiff returned to Chapel Hill. Only at this time did plaintiff begin living out of his car, stop attending classes, and purchase guns and ammunition . [and three weeks later] shot and killed two individuals ."
The picture is of a rational individual, capable of carrying through on very demanding and complex tasks (e.g., successfully navigating a law school semester and properly maintaining his financial affairs), who deliberately chose for an eight-month period not to attend to his mental health, notwithstanding the resurfacing of auditory hallucinations that he knew in the past had augured psychological disintegration. The result: plaintiff ended up killing two complete strangers - and was acquitted (on grounds of insanity).
In such circumstances, one somewhat marvels at the plaintiff's hubris in suing his former psychiatrist for his (the plaintiff's) injuries and one is left agape at the jury's decision that it was all the psychiatrist's fault.
However, appellate courts cannot (for all practical purposes) touch a negligence (or contributory negligence) finding, the paradigmatic jury issue. Hence the court's opinion, teetering instead on the rickety foundation of "proximate cause."
As clinical precedent, however, Williamson is signal. Stripped bare, the facts are that defendant (apparently purposely) misdiagnosed schizophrenia as "delusional disorder," neglected to diagnose or target for specific treatment (such as AA meetings or partial hospital therapy) substance abuse in a six-pack-per-day (plus "occasional" marijuana) gun-owning schizophrenic, and made no specific follow-up arrangements at termination (occasioned by defendant's retirement).
But for a quite striking confluence of serendipitous facts, the appellate court could not have saved the defendant (and surely would not have been inclined to do so): the plaintiff harmed others rather than himself (the court views self-harm in this case as significantly more foreseeable); the plaintiff was extraordinarily high-functioning (attenuating the nexus between defendant's actions and the plaintiff's decompensation); a full eight months went by; the plaintiff made no attempt to pursue follow-up (as distinct from a mentally disturbed patient who might try on his own to make an appointment not arranged for him but fails); there were no documented threats or past acts whatsoever of violence (quite peculiar in a case that eventuates in a shooting spree); and the clinical setting was a university health service (which the court implies unconvincingly carries a lesser standard of care with respect to diagnosis and follow-up).
Further, the defendant chanced on a court unusually determined to undo a jury fumble, and remarkably agile in doing so. The court's non-discussion of the defendant's non-diagnosis (and non-referral) of the plaintiff's alcoholism is eloquently (albeit silently) emblematic. The defendant, in short, was luckier in dodging the plaintiff's legal bullets than were the January 1995 victims against his actual bullets.
This clinical lessons would seem clear. First, do not diagnose falsely, regardless of how benign the motive. A cardiologist would not deliberately overlook a basketball prospect's serious valve pathology and then expect to be exonerated in a wrongful death suit by asserting that he had not wanted to stand in the way of the player's athletic career. Second, where follow-up is clearly indicated (as with a young and noncompliant substance-abusing schizophrenic), more must be done (and documented) than urging the patient himself to make appropriate arrangements.

Find a Job Online: Top 5 Job Hunting Sites
Psst… Looking for a job? You are? That's not a surprise, given that the economy has been staggering around drunkenly since 2008. Sometimes it's up, and sometimes it's down. If you want to find what you're looking for, you need every advantage you can get. That means some good old fashioned pavement-pounding, but you should also conduct a rigorous search online. And to do that, you should be aware of the best job hunting sites on the Internet.
To help narrow down your search for decent job posting sites (because simply hunting for a job causes a lifetime of stress in itself), here are some resources that you should consider:
Twitter – While you should absolutely patronize websites that are dedicated wholly to job listings, you should also take care not to ignore social media outlets like Twitter. If you have your eye on a particular company, make sure you follow their Twitter account: you're almost certain to stumble across job postings that won't show up anywhere else. Likewise, find and follow accounts that post listings in your field(s) of interest.
LinkedIn – In the same vein, make sure you take a look at the job board at Linkedin. You can find exclusive postings, not to mention a supportive community that dispenses valuable job hunting advice.
Indeed – Indeed is one of the hottest job sites on the Internet. You can sort through millions of job postings from thousands of companies. It sounds kind of intimidating because, frankly, it is. That's why Indeed offers tips and advice to help you narrow down your search, and lets you set up job alerts that can be mailed to your inbox on a daily basis. Indeed!
SimplyHired – SimplyHired pulls job listings from multiple sources, including company sites, job boards, newspapers, non-profit organizations, and others. SimplyHired allows for an easily-customizable job hunting experience: when you create an account, you can manage your searches, block certain companies from your search, and manage email alerts. SimplyHired is also a good tool for studying the job market (including trends, popular jobs, etc) in a specific location/city.
Monster – Monster may not be "the" go-to site for job hunting anymore, but it still has clout. Companies certainly don't overlook it when they're ready to post a listing, so as far as volume is concerned, Monster still delivers a huge number of prospects.

Online Job Hunting Guide: 5 Ways to Get Hired
Small Business Expert
Essential hints, tips & business advice for startups & entrepreneurs.
Finding a job is no longer just about printing out reams of paper, dropping them in a mailbox, and then crossing your fingers. There are dozens of ways to successfully find a career, and taking your hunt online can yield big success. Countless job sites exist to help you showcase your Resume, and hundreds of Internet communities can offer up tons of online job hunting tips, guides and expert advice.
Don't feel intimidated, though. A lot of the advice that's available can be condensed into a handful of rules that are easy to remember, and even easier to execute. Here's what you should keep in mind while you're conducting your own online job hunt, all of which can help you get hired:
Write a customized cover letter—and then follow up – The Internet has made job hunting more convenient, but it's also made it far easier for companies to get spammed with resumes from hundreds of thousands of hopeful job seekers. That's why it's important to stand out, and one of the best ways to do so is to tailor your cover letter (and even your resume) so that it speaks specifically to the company you're applying at. Of course, a customized cover letter takes extra effort, but it's better to send out fewer personalized cover letters than dump a stack of sterile Resumes and cover letter templates on hapless recruiters. Once you've applied, follow up with an email, or, better yet, a phone call in approximately a week. If you're lucky enough to get an interview, send a Thank You email when you get home later that night.
Tailor your Resume to utilize keywords – Recruiters use keywords to sort through the mountain of resumes that inevitably end up at their doorstep. If a resume doesn't have any of the job-specific keywords they're looking for, it's likely to wind up in the trash. SquawkFox has a great breakdown of some of the keywords that will help your resume bob up for air in the swamp.
Dig deep on job sites for older postings – Same as we're always looking for jobs, employers are always looking for employees. Some job hunters make the mistake of going back a mere few days on job postings, which means a lot of great prospects get buried in the avalanche. Take the time to really look at what's available. Even a job that was posted a few weeks ago stands a good chance of still being open.
Watch out for scams – Seems like common sense, but watch yourself: the economy is in rough shape, and scammers know it. They've tailored their pitches to target desperate job seekers with promises of how you can " Work from Home!!" and "Make $5000 in one week!!!" Though it is possible to work lucrative jobs from home, if a listing sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. Always Google an organization before applying, and it goes without saying that you should never submit credit card information or your social security number to any job listing that asks for it.
Use Twitter and other social media in your search – A lot of companies are learning the value of Twitter in the search for employees. Follow companies' Twitter accounts (and Facebook pages), as well as Twitter accounts that are dedicated to posting job listings in your field.
Our very own Scott Steinberg has put together a guide to online job hunting for NBC's Life Goes Strong network as well, which offers additional hints, tips and expert advice – including several ways to use personal branding techniques to get hired – for your search. You can view it here – happy hunting!

Prins Thomas calls him the "ultimate O-town DJ". Indeed, Øyvind Morken is nothing less but an institution in Oslo, his weekly residency letting good vibes fly about town. In a time and age where international DJ bookings and two-hour sets are the standard club fare, the value of a long-standing and inspiring DJ residency cannot be esteemed high enough. Which is exactly this quality that comes through in this fantastic boogie-dub-synth-house mix he did for Roof.fm.
ROOF.FM: You're a resident DJ at Jaeger. What's Jaeger like?
Øyvind Morken: Jaeger is the best club in Oslo if you ask me. It has two floors, a basement club which holds 230 people, and a bar upstairs which hold 100 people, and a outside area which holds 200 people. From Easter until mid-october the party goes on outside (and downstairs in the weekends and special nights). The sound system is really good, the staff is super cool and the people who show up are ready to dance and have fun. The crowd is very mixed at my night, from squat hippies to business guys in suits to fashion people to music heads. Just like it should be.
So, what do you usually do after the club closes at 3 am in Oslo?
I usually hassle the bartenders to let me stay and have another drink. Some people go home, some people have afterparties at someone's house/flat, and every now and then there is an illegal rave. I enjoy playing the graveyard shift at some of them from time to time.
I have DJed naked, and stagedived into bars, done shit like that, but these days I take it easy. Getting older, you know.
At your Untzdag club night, which classic can we always expect to hear from you?
One of the best things with having a weekly residency, is that I get to use my record collection. I try not to play the same stuff week in week out. The playlist is very open, from slow weird 80`s European Synth records to banging techno, loads of house, camp disco, dub or afro records. Everything has it`s place.
Any deejaying adventure you would like to disclose from Untzdag?
What happens at Untzdag, stays at Untzdag. Just kidding. I have DJed naked, and stagedived into bars, done shit like that, but these days I try to take it easy. Getting older, you know.
You debuted earlier this year with "Kakemonsteret" on Prins Thomas' label. Do you invest a lot of time into your productions?
I work in periods. Some times i can work everyday for a week or two, and then i can stay away for a month. Im not like Terje or Thomas who go at it like a nine to five job. I wish I could, but thats just not the way i work.
Considering that Norway is such a small country, the success of a Norwegian club sound promoted by Todd Terje, Prins Thomas or the Sex Tags Mania crew is striking. What's your Norwegians' secret to success?
Not sure, but I think it might be that its not a real scene here, so some people go on and make something without looking to a certain genre or something that's cool at the moment. There is loads of shit here though. Luckilly, it doesn't shine through to the outside world.
Where did it all begin for you? With DJ Strangefruit's radio show? Erot? George Clinton?
I got forced into djing at my local youthclub when I was about 10 or 11 by a older kid, he wanted to go out and smoke cigaretts and make out with his girlfriend. I kind of got hooked straight away. But yeah, Strangefruit, Erot and George all had their moments making me go WOOOOW.
And what's coming next from you?
I have a track finished for a Full Pupp compilation thats around the corner, another EP. Yeah, and there is a remix, my first one. You can check it out here.

I think that this site does seem pretty reliable. The links seem mostly relevant to the article because the article references what people say on twitter.

A Virginia Senate committee killed legislation to close Virginia's so-called "gun show loophole."
The Courts of Justice Committee voted 8-7 to reject the bill Wednesday.
Last week, the panel endorsed the legislation but then reconsidered after Republican Sen. Bill Stanley of Franklin County had second thoughts. Stanley, who voted for the bill the first time, voted against it Wednesday but said he is committed to working out a compromise with gun-control advocates and opponents before next year's session.
Under current law, only licensed firearms dealers have to conduct criminal background checks on buyers at gun shows. Attempts to extend that requirement to private sellers have failed several times in recent years.

When Victoria Beckham posted a mirror selfie wearing her typical uniform of a white tee, trousers, and low-top sneakers, we didn't think much of it. "Good morning Boston! x VB," she wrote, leading us to believe she was just on set of another photo shoot.
But moments later, Victoria revealed the big news: she's partnering with Reebok. Victoria joins a list of notable celebrities that rep the brand, including Gigi Hadid, Ariana Grande, and Teyana Taylor, but she'll be rolling out a full line of her own sneakers and athletic gear as part of the collaboration, available in late 2018. So, you see, in that initial snap, Victoria wasn't wearing just any white sneakers. She was wearing a pair of Reebok Club C Classics ($70) to celebrate the occasion.
"To have the opportunity to challenge the traditional notions of fitness wear within a fashion context is something I have always wanted to do. I have long incorporated sportswear into my wardrobe and daily life and I am thrilled to be coming together with Reebok on such a dynamic proposition," Victoria stated in the brand's press release.
She Announced Her Collaboration With Reebok on Instagram
"Excited to announce my new partnership with @reebok! Stay tuned and head to my website and subscribe for updates! x VB #ReebokxVictoriaBeckham," she wrote.

New York City, N.Y., May 6, 2009 / 07:30 pm (CNA).- Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput exhorted Catholics to follow the example of St. Paul by understanding their own times and being "possessed by the God of Truth." Stressing the need to recognize the impact mass media has on thought and action, he warned that Catholics are losing the habits on which they have traditionally relied because of "vanity and compromise."
The archbishop delivered his remarks to the American Bible Society in New York City on Wednesday. The Archbishop of Denver is in town to receive the Becket Fund's Canterbury Medal, which is given to persons who "most resolutely refused to render to Caesar that which is God's."
Beginning his remarks with a reflection on the life of St. Paul, Archbishop Chaput said Paul was "a determined man."
"As even St. Peter discovered, Paul never let shallow courtesies interfere with his witness for Jesus Christ. In fact, by today's standards, Paul's passion for Jesus borders on the unseemly. But of course, that says more about us than about him."
Paul would go to such extremes because he knew the truth not only as a "collection of doctrines" but was "possessed by the God of truth, who gives life to those doctrines," the archbishop said.
"There has never been, and there never will be, a greater missionary for Jesus than St. Paul. Through Paul, the Gospel reached the world. And our job as believers today is to be Paul once again to the world around us."
"If we're serious when we claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, then we need to understand our own times as well as Paul did his," he counseled the Bible Society members.
The archbishop said this can be a problem because "the tools we rely on to inform us are the same tools we use to delude ourselves about the real world."
"The American news and entertainment media, which now so often overlap, are the largest catechetical syndicate in history," he continued.
Saying the media has helped create a culture based on "immediacy, brevity, visual stimulation, celebrity and self-absorption," he warned this has great implications for the Christian's place in American society.
To know our times, he said, it is crucial that we understand how mass media works on us. We can learn to judge them "soberly and critically," but if we do not the consequences may be "very unhappy."
Noting that the United States was founded in a time of print-based patterns of thought, he warned:
"The more sensory, immediate and emotional our culture becomes, the farther it gets from the habits of serious thought that sustain its ideals."
As a remedy, he advised Catholics to give up computers, televisions, cell phones, and iPods for "just one night" a week.
"One night a week spent reading, talking with each other, listening to each other and praying over Scripture. We can at least do that much. And if we do, we'll discover that eventually we're sober again and not drunk on technology and our own overheated appetites."
Turning to questions of public life, the archbishop noted President Barack Obama's comments about America not considering itself a Christian nation. Saying the president's words should not be taken out of context, he remarked that his comments come at a time when American leaders' attitude towards religion and Christianity is "very different from the past, and much less friendly."
The archbishop said it would be "foolish and delusional" to deny the United States' Christian roots. He quoted Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, who respectively said America was "born a Christian nation," "founded on the principles of Christianity," and firmly reliant on God's providence.
Archbishop Chaput said that the public witness of many American Christians is "softening," with some groups working "very vigorously" to secularize or de-Christianize public life and popular culture.
American Catholics have successfully fit themselves into American culture, so that "too many of us are happy with our complacency, vanity, compromises, comfort and bad formation."
The habit of "vanity and compromise" is what is at work in the University of Notre Dame's decision to honor President Obama at commencement, the archbishop remarked. Though "a sincere and able man," the president's views on life issues "run directly against Catholic belief."
"And a Catholic institution should not honor that kind of behavior," he said.
While human sinfulness is always present, the archbishop said, "What's new about our current moment is that too many Christians have made peace with that sinfulness, baptized it with the language of personal conscience, and stopped trying to convert anybody -- including themselves."
While a "post-Christian" society may seem similar to the world St. Paul confronted, it is in fact "much worse" because the old pagan world was ignorant of Christ, but today's paganism involves "a specific choice against Jesus Christ."
He denied there was such a thing as a "post-Christian" society, saying "The redemptive mission of Jesus Christ is unique, unrepeatable and forever. Christ is the center and meaning of history.
"There is nothing after Jesus Christ except a void."
When Jesus commissioned the apostles to make disciples of all nations and baptize them, the archbishop said, "he was talking to you and me."
"The lesson of St. Paul, now and for every generation, is that we need to engage the world with intelligence, a creative spirit and, most importantly, charity, which 'bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.'"
Real charity depends on truth, not "shallow courtesies" and "false compromises."
"Paul reminds us that charity 'does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth' (I Cor 13:6). In fact, no greater gift of love exists than sharing the truth with others. Only God's truth sets us free."
"Jesus himself did not claim to 'preach' the truth but to be the truth. That's why a Christianity based only on technique or useful ideas or a system of good social principles will always fail. Christianity can only be anchored in a love for Jesus Christ."
"The cross of Jesus Christ is not a 'philosophy.' It's an instrument of killing stained with the blood of a Person who was once dead but is now alive."
"Only if we really believe the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in our bones, only if we endure in proclaiming that truth," he concluded, will we be able to share St. Paul's relief and joy in "the crown of righteousness."

Tributes pour in after loss of legendary father
CBC NEWS; Terry Fox's father, Rolly, dies following battle with lung cancer, posted March 9, 2016
It has been an incredibly sad week here at The Lung Association, Alberta & NWT — especially after Terry MacInnes lost his battle with his severe lung health condition March 3.
The entire country, us included, is also mourning the loss of Rolly Fox, the father of Terry Fox. Rolly died Tuesday, March 8 "while listening to a little Hank Williams," according to his family through a statement posted on the Terry Fox Foundation's website.
"We have witnessed once again the pain cancer causes but we know, oh how we know, that we are not alone," said the family in the statement.
"We have seen first hand the opportunities to extend life because of our nation's collective belief and investment in cancer research, yet have been forced to accept that they were not available to Dad/Grandpa."
With further investment in critically underfunded lung cancer research, we hope that some day announcements like these become a thing of the past.

River of trash causing lung health problems in Beirut
The National Post, ER doctors see spike in respiratory illnesses, published March 8
Lebanon is in the midst of a trash collection crisis and it is causing alarming problems for emergency room doctors in that country.
The crisis began eight months ago when government officials in Beirut closed down a landfill without providing an alternative.
The city of Beirut is mostly garbage free, but the trash is being hauled to the city's outskirts, where piles upon piles of trash are seen along the roadside and the banks of the Beirut River.
According to the Association Press, patients coping with serious lung conditions are filling hospitals in Beirut because of burning garbage.

Update : May 1st 3303
Salomé has been killed by bounty hunters. The following information is now considered past tense.
Who is Senator Kahina Tijani Loren, aka Salomé ?
Salomé is a very divisive and controversial figure in the world of Elite: Dangerous. She is viewed by many as a terrorist, cult leader, and power-hungry schemer by those sympathetic to the major powers, and an exploration-loving rebel and eccentric outcast to those who are sympathetic to her cause of unraveling the galaxies deepest mysteries.
You can find the perfect synopsis of "Salomé" from Drew Wagar himself, here; Kahina Tijani Loren.
For those new to this story line, it is highly recommended that you read the official Elite Dangerous novel; Elite: Reclamation.
Although not essential to solving the in-game mysteries surrounding Salomé, the book does contain clues, and it will give you the ultimate background into her life, personality, and goals.
A reading from Elite: Reclamation by Drew himself :
Who is Salomé in game ?
CMDR Salomé is the officially sanctioned 'advanced' NPC in game that physically represents the character from the book and brings her to life within the actual gameworld we all share. This allows for a great opportunity for players to interact with her, converse with her, get clues, and attend official events that she presides over.
After Frontier Developments had all but dropped the Formidine Rift story along with Salomé and her adventures from their narrative in early 2015, the characters' adoption as a figurehead and creation within the Elite Dangerous gameworld was sanctioned by Drew Wagar and registered with the lifetime expansion upgrade by the CoR founders in September 2015. From September 2015 until the spring of 2016, the character rarely appeared in game but was occasionally used to preside over player-created in-game roleplayed events. In the spring of 2016, Frontier Developments reinstated the Formidine Rift mystery and commissioned Drew to oversee the story and begin writing the sequel to Reclamation, Elite: Premonition. The Salomé in-game character was thus bestowed to the author on the eve of the Beagle Point meeting to help roleplay aspects of the narrative from that point onward, and although the CoR founders are still technically the registered keepers of the CMDR Salomé account, they no longer control her in game actions or interactions with the playerbase.
The identity or identities of those who now 'control' Salomé are only known to the author and or FD, and she will only act in accordance to their direction.
It must be stated that CoR do not have exclusivity over Salomé. She is a public figure who has links to other groups and individuals and she often works in association with those entities without CoR knowledge.
The character is 100% roleplayed so will not take part in idle chit chat, nor (we're told) is she obliged to answer questions directly when asked. If she wants to divulge a clue, she will most likely do it during any story related conversation.
Players have been asked not to contact CMDR Salomé if she is online and in a private group or solo mode (these modes are presumably used to move her around in preparation for the next part of the story). She is only classed as 'active' and approachable if she is in Open Play.
As far as we're aware she accepts all friend requests. This allows those on her list to be notified when she is in Open Play and pinpoints her location on the map.
If she is in Open Play and you message her, don't feel offended if she does not reply. She often ignores CoR Consul hails too, we presume that she is in convo with others, doesn't always see the message, or could be otherwise distracted by in-game situations. We don't pester her if a hail is not answered, all sorts of reasons could be occurring that don't allow her time to respond.
Who is Alessia Verdi ?
Alessia wrote the Children of Raxxla novella that chronicled the very first meeting between Salomé and two of the original CoR founders. She often steps in to help steer the narrative when Salomé is 'elsewhere in the galaxy'. Like Salomé, Alessia should be considered to be an 'advanced NPC' - a roleplayed sentient commander in game that players can interact with and gain clues and information from. Players should only hail Alessia if she appears in Open Play.

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year's Eve! This day used to be a huge drinking day for me. Everyday was a pretty huge drinking day for me, come to think of it. Anyway…I was fucked up five years ago on this day. Thankful for another shitty year behind me…praying for a better next year…yada, yada, yada…and shots for everyone! I don't even do shots…unless someone pours or buys me one! Okay though!!! That's how I spent the first 41 years of my life. Mindless. Careless. Numb. Fucked up. Miserable. Hostage. Stuck. Sad. Drunk. Fighting. Fucking. Arguing. Drinking. Drinking. Drinking. So on this, the eve of a brand new year, I thank God for the friend of Bills he sent to me on that day, on my way to happy hour…a friend needing a friend to go to an AA meeting with her. Sure I could go to an AA meeting on my way to happy hour! I know my friend is going through a hard time and hey, I heard they have free cookies and coffee and I should eat before I hit the bar anyway, right?
I never made it to the bar that evening. I never made it to the bar again. My name is Coral and I am an alcoholic. Thank you Tamara for inviting me to that meeting five years ago. I will be five on January 2nd, 2019. "There but for the grace of God go I." This morning's reading on the last day of the year was so powerful for me that I wanted to share it with you also. Thank you Bill.
I am so glad you are here! I really am. Blogging every day, no matter what, has been so good for me. I am going to blog every day for another year. I have heard from so, so many of you who come here. I know my blog has helped you too. To be able to go somewhere every single day, and to know that someone else will be there too…I guess that has helped a lot of you and I am so happy to hear this! You being here every day helps me too. Especially on my most difficult days…you being in the healing room with me…well it helps me so much. Thank you.
As I spend today in prayer and meditation and in loving time and space with my girl, I think of each of you. I want you to know that. As we walk each other home, I place your hand in mine. I place my arm around your shoulder, and I pull you close to me. I whisper in your ear to remind you that I've got you. I am because you are. Ubuntu. We are all here to love each other home. We live in community with people starving and dying in our streets. Hooray for me and fuck you, as Tamara says..when we have an attitude of ingratitude.
I am on a hellbent mission to love us home and I will not stop until I'm done. I may not be your typical preacher and I may not speak to you at all. I may though, speak to you. Will you please pray with me? For the year behind us and for the year ahead…for this very moment, let us pray.
My soul brother Rumi, we come to you thankful this morning. We are thankful for the last 365 days…the 525,600 minutes of the year behind us. We ask for your love and guidance for the 52 weeks and 8,760 hours ahead of us. Most of all though brother, we ask you to help us to live in this moment. Just this one…right here and right now. The past is behind us. The future is not promised to us. The present truly is right here and right now. In this fucked up crazy world, where everyone and everything is our business…gently remind us that everything is not our business. We know right from wrong. Lord help us to do what we know in our hearts to be right and just. If we cannot find it within us to stand up…God give us the courage to stand down. If we cannot help them Lord, please stop us from harming them. Please hold our tongues in pause before we cut those we love the most. Please God remind us that we are all the same. Not one of us will be whole until each of us is whole…please let us understand this. Our brothers and our sisters, different from us and yet so very much the same..please let us recognize ourselves in one another. There are no beings less than any other beings. There are people. There are sentient beings. We are all the same. Please remove the slurs and the labels and the judgement from our lips. God please remind us that we've two ears and two hands…two eyes and but one mouth. Let us shut our mouths if we've nothing nice to say. Let our silence be our gift. Let our words always be kind. Let us love. As we learn who we have been, Rumi, guide us to forgive. Ourselves and those who've harmed us…let us show your grace and mercy…let us feel your grace and mercy. Let us know that God is in us…that we are God…that God is us. Let us no longer be separate. Let us love. Father forgive us where we have fallen short. Lift us up. As we come into a new year, we ask with all of our hearts, that you teach us how to love. Open us to your messages. Protect us from the harm that knows know bounds as we stand up in silent solidarity for and with one another. Teach us to stand in silence and in peace, until our voices are warranted. When our voices are warranted, God let us remember to ask if it passes through all three gates; Is it true?Is it necessary? Is it kind? If it does not pass through these gates, let us keep our lips closed until it is. Let us stand up for ourselves and for one another. We learned it wrong and we ask you to help us right it. We misunderstood and we ask you to forgive us. We ask you to bring forth the leaders who are here to love us home. And so it is. Amen.
Thank you for praying with me. Have a beautiful day and please be safe. I love you. Don't drink and drive. Hey…better yet, don't drink at all. Be present. Be sober. Be real. Five years later and thankful as hell, I highly recommend setting that bottle down completely my friends.

Although What Design Sounds Like will not be cast live on the web, you can follow along with @DesignObserver .
Relatedly, I have also just started a series of sound walks with Bryan Finoki titled (in)Fringe. We'll be walking along, over, under, and through the varying edge spaces of San Francisco. Our line of inquiry runs like this:
We're intrigued by what constitutes a sonic fringe physically, culturally, and experientially. Questions we're asking include: Can the shifts in power of a place be heard, and how (if at all) should we listen to them? How can a place be defined by an edge, or a lack thereof? What do these fringes suggest about the cultural dynamics of a given place?
Our first walk takes us to the Mission District, where we encounter forces of change in the historical and cultural center of the city. We walked a number of the streets in alleys in search of evidence of an "edge" condition - simply put, where the new meets the old, and how they mix (or don't mix) together. Have a listen:
Bryan and I will be continuing the exploration in future posts about the Mission, post-military sites such as Treasure Island and the Presidio, and more. Stay tuned!

The Pittsburgh Penguins have invited Leland Irving, a former first round pick of the Calgary Flames, to training camp.
Irving has 11 years of professional hockey experience. Of the 13 games he's played at the NHL level, he's 3-4-4 with a 3.25 goals against average and a .902 save percentage. He's spent his career in the NHL, AHL, ECHL, and the Finnish Elite League.
Sean Maguire and Filip Gustavsson are not attending camp, according to the Penguins training camp roster.
Gustavsson, a 55th overall draft pick by the Penguins in 2016, is currently on Luleå Hockeyförening of the SHL, and their season starts tomorrow. This is likely why he won't be attending camp.
Maguire, a 113th overall draft pick by the Penguins in 2012, is not attending camp and his spot is being taken by Casey DeSmith. As of now, a reason has not been given for his absence. He didn't play in London during the rookie tourney, so the safest guess is injury. But nothing has been confirmed.

InStyler Attacks The Thriving Used Hair Straightener Market
You may have seen the InStyler advertised on on television: it's a hair straightener with a rotating heated tube between two brushes. Michelle bought one at Target last year, and decided that she didn't want it anymore. She listed it on Craigslist, and she tells Consumerist that's when the cease and desist e-mails started from the product's manufacturer.
The InStyler is a hot item for counterfeiters, and like fellow counterfeiter favorites Coach and Louis Vuitton, the company is going on the offensive against all sellers of their products online.
I posted an ad on Craigslist.com to sell an Instyler hair straightner that I bought at target. In response to this ad, I received this email from the company who manufactures the Instyler. I purchased the product a year ago with full documentation, and am annoyed that I am receiving cease and desist letters when the product was obtained legally from a authorized dealer.
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am contacting you on behalf of Tre Milano, LLC, which holds all
distribution rights in and to the InStyler® product line. It has come to
the company¹s attention that you appear to be engaged in the sale of
counterfeit copies of the InStyler® rotating hot iron on Craigslist.
We hereby demand that you IMMEDIATELY cease and desist from this activity.
Tre Milano expressly reserves the right to pursue any and all appropriate
legal action in connection with your apparent infringement of its
intellectual property rights.
Please note that Tre Milano monitors Craigslist, eBay and other
marketplaces, on an ongoing basis, and routinely makes undercover purchases.
As part of this enforcement program, the company does not hesitate to bring
legal action when it determines that a party has repeatedly infringed its
intellectual property rights. (The nearly two dozen federal lawsuits
brought by Tre Milano against infringers in the past year are accessible at
the federal court PACER site for the Central District of California at:
https://ecf.cacd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl.) The company also works
with law enforcement, throughout the United States and around the world, to
help prosecute criminal actions against counterfeiters. Consider yourself
Of course, if you can demonstrate that you have not infringed Tre Milano¹s
intellectual property rights, we would welcome such a showing by you and we
would be delighted to resolve this matter with our best wishes.
My contact information is as follows: [redacted]
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Tre Milano, LLC

Getting life insurance after a hysterectomy can be a bit confusing. Well, seeing as you found your way to this article, you're off to a great start! We'll give you the valuable info you need about applying for life insurance after a hysterectomy.
What is a Hysterectomy?
Sometimes a woman's uterus can cause health problems. In these instances, a doctor may recommend that a woman's uterus be removed. This is a hysterectomy.
Different "types" of Hysterectomies.
There is more than one type of hysterectomy. The types are:
- Partial Hysterectomy (removing a part of the uterus)
- Total Hysterectomy (removing the whole thing plus the cervix)
- Hysterectomy & Salpingo-Oophorectomy (removal of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes)
There are a number of reasons for a hysterectomy…
A hysterectomy is a procedure, not an illness. And that procedure can be used to help many different medical issues. The most common reasons a woman might get a hysterectomy include:
- To alleviate pain in the uterus (the cause of this pain can vary)
- Uterine Cancer
- Infection in the uterus
- Vaginal bleeding
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis (often causes pain)
These are some of the reasons why women opt for a hysterectomy as advised by a doctor.
We are not medical experts. If you have come to this article for medical advice, you're in the wrong place! We're just a bunch of life insurance agents who love help people get qualify for great life insurance policies particularly if they've been diagnosed with a pre-existing medical condition like a hysterectomy in the past!
So… if you need medical advice, please see a doctor!
Now, if you've had a hysterectomy…
Then there are two things a life insurance company will want to know:
- Have you healed/the amount of time that's gone by since the surgery?
- Why did you need to get a hysterectomy in the first place?
These two things will really determine your eligibility for life insurance.
If you had a hysterectomy…
To alleviate pain (whether caused by endometriosis, cysts, or anything else not life-threatening), then you really won't have to worry about it while applying for a life insurance policy.
You can get a preferred rate…
If your hysterectomy was not due to anything "serious". We put serious in quotation marks because we do realize that removing your uterus is in fact a serious procedure for any woman to go through. However, what we mean is that your reason for getting a hysterectomy is isolated to the uterus and cannot be associated with any other medical issues.
Getting life insurance may be tricky if…
Your hysterectomy was due to something that could potentially lead to other medical problems, then it may be more difficult to get life insurance.
If you had uterine cancer…
Then it's going to be hard if not impossible to term or whole life insurance, even if you have totally recovered and you've been in remission for a significant period of time.
Bet let's be clear: you may still have options even if…
You're not "currently" eligible for term or whole life insurance. For those that are not currently eligible for a traditional term or whole life insurance policy, it may be necessary to pursue an "alternative" life insurance policy. A policy such as a guaranteed issue life insurance policy.
Guaranteed issue life insurance policies.
Now guaranteed issue life insurance policies may not offer as much coverage as term or whole life insurance, but if you find it hard to get insured, then this is still a great way to provide your loved ones with some solid life insurance.
But remember…
Life insurance companies want to look at "the whole package" and by whole package we mean you! Hysterectomies and the cause of hysterectomies is just the beginning…there is a lot more for life insurance companies to consider. Before you get underwritten for a whole or term life insurance policy, a life insurance company wants to know your risk level.
How do life insurance companies determine risk?
They assess things in your life that could lead to complications, and ultimately cut your life short. This means they look at your health and your lifestyle choices. To give you an example, they will consider things such as:
- Heart problems
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Obesity
- Hobbies & Careers (are they dangerous)
- Travel to dangerous places (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria)
This is a very short list of things that life insurance companies will consider before they underwrite your policy.
Risk isn't all the same…
And each life insurance company will view each "risky situation" differently. While one life insurance company may not underwrite a policy for someone who has had a hysterectomy due to cancer, another may if you have totally recovered from cancer and the hysterectomy. Likewise, some life insurance companies are pretty harsh on obesity, but other life insurance companies like to assess your overall health rather than your weight.
So how do you figure it all out?
It's pretty confusing for a normal person to know which life insurance is really great for them. Most people turn to friends or loved ones for advice. However, it's often the case that what's right for your neighbor or friend is not right for you. That's why you need expert advice.
Trust the experts!
InsuranceBrokersUSA is here to help! We work with dozens of the top life insurance companies in the USA. We can help you to find the life insurance policy best suited to your life and needs.
