Watching the lottery trial is like being invited to go behind the curtain and see how legislative politics really works in North Carolina.
Democratic House Speaker Jim Black has said for months he came up with Kevin Geddings' appointment to the Lottery Commission, more or less on his own.
Now, we learn from the prosecutors Geddings' selection was decided at a dinner with Black, the Vice President of lottery vender and a lobbyist. When Black testified he did not recall any discussion of the lottery at the dinner. "I probably would not remember," Black said, "because when I've finished a very busy day I'm probably brain-dead and winding down for the day."
Mac McCorkle, Governor Easley's chief political advisor said months ago he didn't know anything about the radio ad campaign that targeted three Republican Senators who opposed the lottery – until the ads ran.
A former Easley aide who worked with McCorkle on the ads said McCorkle "made the contacts that resulted in the $38,000 ad campaign." And that he recommended Geddings to produce the ads. (News and Observer; 9-28-06).
Both the Governor's aide, Scott Anderson, and McCorkle knew of Geddings' ties to lottery venders six months before his appointment. McCorkle said months ago he had opposed Geddings' appointment 'behind the scenes.' But now we know his 'opposition' didn't come until months later.
Governor Easley says he doesn't know anything about the ads McCorkle orchestrated. The press asked McCorkle about that. McCorkle's lawyer said he "has a policy of not discussing with the press any conversations with the Governor." That's what's called a stone wall.
This is 'backstage politics' in North Carolina. Speaker Black says he dreamed up Geddings' appointment on his own – then the prosecutor says it was decided at dinner with a Scientific Games lobbyist. Mac McCorkle says he didn't know about the ads – then a witness testifies McCorkle orchestrated the ads. The Governor says he didn't know about the ads either – and McCorkle says he does not discuss what he tells the governor.
My children used to play a game where they would draw a card and read a statement – like I Love Lucy premiered in 1952 – and everyone would guess whether it was true or not.
This beats the heck out of that.

A perfect little security blankie and tagalong for your child. The delicious cashmere-like material is perfect for babies and toddlers to snuggle. Each blankie features a sweet animal head that's easy to grip. It will bring smiles and comfort to your little napper and will likely become a favorite animal friend to take along on many adventures.
A friend got one of these for my daughter at my baby shower. She is now 3 and it still her most prized possession on earth! Because she takes it everywhere we have lost some and damaged some beyond repair. I hope you bring back the pair and a spare option because this would really help those situations!

I mentioned yesterday that I've not made any exciting changes for Lent (neither giving up a food nor picking up volunteer hours at the local something). It's not that these might not be good things to do, but I didn't get a very right feeling about them, when I thought it over, and I am trying to do better about only working on the parts of acting morally that are easy for me to turn into rules to implement.
Here's a very small, very dull example from earlier this week about the kind of weak attachment to good that I'd like to grow and strengthen during Lent.
I was walking out of the grocery store, holding my receipt, and looking for a trash can to stick it in. However, the receipt was perforated, and as I was fumbling it about, about a two centimeter strip tore off and flew down the block on a gusty breeze.
I was already holding a heavy grocery bag (containing, among other things, an enormous jar of pickles) and I glared at the receipt, thinking grumbly thoughts about the inefficiency and outdatedness of the bag clerk handing me another physical object to have custody of and have to keep tidy. Then I turned to continue home.
But I did think, for a moment, my peculiar blend of What would Christ do? or What would a good Kantian/cooperating agent using Timeless Decision Theory do? and stomped down the block to trap, retrieve, and dispose of the errant slip of paper.
I managed to get around to doing the decent thing, with a bit of lag time, but I can't really say I did it in a spirit of love. And it's not like I was doing something heroic either; the best I can say is that I did the bare minimum: performed the correct act, without the correct attitude, but with (perhaps) the hope of one day managing the right spirit.
In the abstract, I can say it would be preferable to have a joyful, loving spirit in that moment. It seems like it should be possible to pick up my litter with the same disposition as the one I have when I play peekaboo with a baby on the metro. Something was disordered or somehow unhappy, and I was granted the privilege of restoring it to order and happiness. But in the moment, what I mostly feel is put upon.
This kind of small-scale failure does remind me of what we're longing for, during the slow procession to Easter: Love that comes to us, so we can finally be healed of spite and fear and participate fully in Love.
And these spontaneous stumbling blocks often do me more good than some deliberate disciplines. A new prayer rule is something I will schedule and manage, so it fits within my life, but a lapse in love can take me by surprise and force me to see the distance between myself and goodness and to want the rift to be closed.


text: Embezzlement cases are on the rise in Maine and several people were indicted by the Penobscot County grand jury for stealing money on Wednesday. "It's kind of the American way to believe that you're underpaid and that's how a lot of people justify taking money from their employers," said Dewey Martin, the Director of the School of Accounting at Husson University. Ellen Wilson, 55, who's also known as Ellen Gunstone, was employed by Sprague's Nursery and Garden Center in Bangor. She's been indicted for theft by unauthorized taking for the second time in nine years. Marin said "As soon as they take it the first time and it becomes easy, now you're in trouble."Bruce Fowle, 62, former treasurer of the Bangor-Breakfast Kiwanis Club and Greater Bangor 4th of July Corporation is accused of taking around $140,000 from those groups.The investigation began in August when members of the organizations realized money was missing."I will still trust people until they prove to me that I shouldn't, but when it comes to handling my money…trust only goes so far," said the Director.Martin said embezzlement happens more than you think and over-spending may not always be caught by an accountant. "An audit is not designed to detect fraud. That's not the motivation of an audit. It's to look at the financial statements."The CPA also said one of the most important things for a business or non-profit is internal control. Owners need to be a watchdog. "If I'm on a finance committee, I'm going to convince the employees that I'm looking over their shoulder."He also suggests a Bonding insurance policy. It might cost a company money upfront, but it can save you in the long run. "It's insurance. If you have a loss and can prove that it was an employee who took it, you can recover the money."Martin said many businesses don't look into fraud until something happens, but in today's economy, you need be ready for anything.

98 Deville Passive Conversion
Hello All.
I know - another bad strut issue. I will try to keep it brief...
I am trying to gather some information for a passive front suspension conversion for my '98 Deville Concours and was wondering if anyone out there had done this themselves? I know that there are the Strutmaster and Arnott kits available, but it just seems like they are charging a couple of hundred bucks for off the shelf struts? Anyone know what struts will (mechanically) fit the application? I know I would still have to contend with the electrical aspect for the RSS, but I am not too worried about that (there are a lot of posts about different resistive and inductive loads that you can use, and I am not adverse to trying a couple to try to get the computer to cooperate). If anyone out there knows what struts will fit (similar application or what have you) or if you have done this yourself, please let me know. Also, if you have done either of the big-name conversions, I would love to hear what kind of success you have had.
Re: 98 Deville Passive Conversion
Your car has the CVRSS system. You can find information on the electronics needed in this thread: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...CVRSS+resistor
I'm not sure on the actual part numbers for the struts though. Maybe someone else will know.

★★1/2 (out of 5 stars)
Reportedly, 17 Girls is based on the real-life events which occurred in Gloucester, Massachusetts in 2008, where a large number of high school aged girls attempted to become pregnant within weeks of one another. Although, already documented in two made-for-TV movies and a handful of investigative stories on television,17 Girls still has found its way to the big screen in a cinematic version of an oft-reported event.
When Camille (Louise Grinberg), a 17-year-old high school girl gets pregnant after a "condom accident", 16 other girls decide to become pregnant as well, banding together as a quasi-teenage MOMS Club of sorts. That these pregnancies were conveyed to one another as an act of feminine bonding and empowerment is just one of many interesting and rather unique commentaries made in this French import from first-time filmmaking sisters, Delphine and Muriel Coulin.
Set in the lackluster and perhaps even boring French town of Lorient, Camille's pregnancy is shocking, but all the more so because of her popularity, influence, and inherent leadership traits. When Camille orchestrates the idea to have all of her friends become pregnant as well, she triggers a pregnancy pact which consumes a faction of fellow high school girls to follow suit. Their respective motivations are all over the map, but Camille makes a convincing argument that this is something everyone can share together, emancipating themselves from parents, boyfriends, school, etc. and beginning to live their lives as adults. As shortsighted as that logic is, the message permeates the clique fairly quickly and soon, at a hastily thrown together beach party, procreation is being attempted all over the place.
Okay, not exactly all over the place. But, in a few weeks' time, four more girls, Camille's closest friends, become pregnant. Then periphery friends disclose positive tests of their own and one younger high schooler, Florence (a terrific Roxane Duran), desperate to fit in, likewise announces her pregnancy as well. She is included in the pact and eventually, 17 girls in total are pregnant, rallying behind Camille, and standing defiant in a community of people trying to catch their breath and figure out what happened to their daughters, their sons, and what this all means for the high school and community at large.
Or at least I think so. You see, 17 Girls habitually avoids important and logical questions that this film needs to at least consider in order to sustain its existence. Specifically, there is next to no interaction between these girls and their parents depicted on screen. Sure, Camille's single mother is shocked, saddened, and angry, attempting to play Angry Mom with her daughter's situation. And one girl is victimized by her father's surprisingly abusive response. Still, no one presents the questions that might satiate viewers who seek clarification on questions such as: "How could something like this happen?" "How can one girl have so much influence?" "Are there issues at home of abuse or neglect that led to this among any of the girls?" "Where are they boys who have fathered these children? Are their parents outraged?" "Does anyone bring the community together to figure out how to create a supportive environment for these babies to be born in, while at the same time analyzing what psychological issues are at play with the girls, the boys, and the families and community with something like this taking place?"
No. Instead we got a stylish, dare I say dreamy, worldview of these teenage girls spending a ton of time together; smoking, drinking, driving cars recklessly, and living a life not too far removed from an American Spring Break college fantasy. Thankfully, the Coulins do not rely solely on this narrative approach and we are jolted back to reality when we encounter scenes involving the girls going to water therapy classes for example, or having occasional moments of contemplation.
In the Massachusetts story, school officials downplayed that there was any type of pregnancy pact and never fully atoned for how 18 girls all became pregnant within weeks of one another. There, the pregnancy outbreak led to the controversial decision to allow contraception to be readily available to students of that particular high school, with parent permission of course.
We simply do not get the whole story with these 17 Girls. Recognizing that much of the film is told with a naive and even frank innocence about the events transpiring, there is far too little context and not enough insight to make this stick. Who knows – maybe there was no genuine reason these girls decided to group-impregnate but I simply cannot buy that. Nor can I believe that they were mostly left to their own devices over those 9 months or so, engaging in late night beach parties, playing soccer with flaming soccer balls, cavorting around all hours of day and night, and all with no parental interventions ever occurring.
With 17 Girls, teen pregnancy almost seems like no big deal, just a minor inconvenience that is made easier when a big group decide to do it together. I am all for bonding amongst like circumstances and events, but these 17 Girls, as presented in this story and film, come off just as confounding and baffling as the callous and carefree film that recounts their story.
- A curious topic which should make for a fascinating film or documentary some years ahead of now. 17 Girls may perk the interests of those who find the premise too unbelievable to be true, or remember hearing about the actual Massachusetts incident on cable and network news.
- Roxane Duran, a young female actor, is great here, following up a fantastic and engrossing performance in Michael Haneke's Oscar-nominated film The White Ribbon.
- The film is acted competently and there are some genuine moments between the girls that resonate.
- Borders on trivializing a serious event and making it seem like no big deal. A melancholy narration piece at the end, pondering the future as single moms congregate together, is strong but cannot save things.
- Sadly 17 Girls is just off in its tone. And do we really enjoy watching a boyfriend drive his pregnant girlfriend 70-80 mph in a sports car, while she sits in the front seat screaming in excitement? Or smoking? Drinking? Behaving recklessly?
- Really though. This could not have been a documentary?

RENEW Clinical Trial – Evaluating a Treatment for Patients with Emphysema
More than three million Americans suffer from severe emphysema, a form of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). This chronic, debilitating disease causes irreversible damage to delicate lung tissue, leading to shortness of breath and reduced capacity to manage activities of daily living, leading to diminished quality of life.
The Palo Alto Medical Foundation is collaborating with El Camino Hospital and Fogarty Clinical Research Inc. to conduct a clinical trial to evaluate the investigational use of the RePneu® (pronounced 'RENEW') Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) for patients experiencing symptoms of emphysema.
Together the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute and Fogarty Clinical Research Inc. aim to enroll 15 to 20 participants within two years. To do so they will have to screen hundreds of potential participants. Eligibility criteria limit participants to those:
- Older than 35 years of age
- Diagnosed with emphysema
- Experiencing increasing difficulty with simple daily tasks
- Stopped smoking for at least eight weeks
- Completion of pulmonary rehabilitation program within six months and/or on maintenance program
How does the RePneu LVRC work?
The LVRC is implanted in the airways of the lung and works by compressing the diseased lung tissue, creating more room for healthier areas of the lung to expand and function. It is also designed to help restore the lung's natural elasticity and prevent airway collapse, making it easier for patients to breathe. More details are presented in the informational brochure created by PneumRx, Inc.
Watch a two-minute video of how the Lung Volume Reduction Coil System works.
The principal investigator for this clinical trial is Ganesh Krishna, M.D., expert in pulmonary disease and critical care at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Juliet Wilson, of the Fogarty Clinical Research, Inc., is the study coordinator.
The RENEW clinical trial is approved by the National Institutes of Health and sponsored by PneumRx.
Outreach to physicians and people with emphysema is underway, with the aim of drawing potential participants to 30 sites in the United States and Europe for evaluation. Only four of the 30 clinical trial sites are in the western region of the U.S. The collaborative Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Fogarty Clinical Research trial is the only one in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Enrollment and more information
For enrollment information visit the Fogarty Clinical Research Inc. website or call the Study Coordinator Juliet Wilson at 650-962-4463.

This time around, it sounds that there is some additional good news in Verizon's future as an Apple iPad with on-board 3G CDMA data support is potentially on pace to hit in the near future. Although no official date was given on when we'll see it, the information comes from a Bloomberg Businessweek interview with Verizon Communications CFO Francis Shammo.
Now it's rather difficult to say whether or not Shammo was referring to the original GSM/UMTS iPad being swapped with CDMA radios, or simply, a future unannounced model of the Apple iPad. Nevertheless, you know that these two companies will be working closely with one another now that all previous barriers between them have been broken down – so don't be surprised by anything at this point.

West Lafayette – October 18, 2016 –
Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation and two prestigious foundations today announced a collaboration aimed at finding new approaches to diagnosing and treating inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Milburn Foundation and Susan G. Komen are seeking applications that will explore new ideas and novel approaches to combating IBC– a less common but particularly aggressive form of breast cancer that is difficult to diagnose and treat.
IBC is often difficult to diagnose because it frequently does not present as a lump. Instead, women notice symptoms such as redness and swelling or enlargement of the breast that are often mistaken as an infection, delaying diagnosis. By the time IBC is diagnosed, it is at an advanced stage (i.e., stage III or stage IV).
"It's been a challenge to bring adequate research attention to inflammatory breast cancer," said Ginny Mason RN, IBC Survivor and Executive Director of Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation. "Collaboration is essential for patient-focused success in both the research and nonprofit communities. We're excited to be a part of this multi-organization initiative that provides a platform for creative collaborations and encourages submissions across disciplines."
President and Chief Investment Officer of the Milburn Foundation Bryon Davis shared his thoughts on the genesis of collaboration among the three organizations.
"The Milburn Foundation is very pleased to have provided a valuable voice in structuring this multiparty collaboration," Davis said. "By providing funding support and fostering relationships we helped to facilitate a new alliance that will support research innovation. We are exceptionally proud of what this initiative represents and are honored to partner with two organizations that demonstrate such a sincere commitment to the breast cancer cause."
"Additional IBC research is needed to improve diagnosis of this unique subtype of breast cancer and understand how biology drives its progression, thereby leading to improved prognosis and more-effective treatment for those with IBC," said Komen President and CEO Dr. Judy Salerno .
The Request for Applications for the two grants, each for $60,000, is now open on komen.org. Applications will be accepted through November 28, 2016.
About Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation was formed in 1999 with the goal of facilitating research and educating both the lay and medical communities about IBC. As a web-based, focused non-profit, IBC Research Foundation has funded significant, quality IBC research projects under the guidance of a stellar Medical Advisory Board. IBC educational information can be found on the Foundation website and through the monthly newsletter. Survivor volunteers provide individual support by phone and email. The IBC Research Foundation strives to improve the lives of those touched by IBC through research, creatively educating stakeholders of all kinds, and tirelessly advocating for both current IBC patients and survivors. To learn more visit: www.ibcresearch.org or call 1-877-stop ibc. Find us on Facebook and Twitter (@IBCResearch).
About The Milburn Foundation
The Milburn Foundation is a catalyst for building momentum behind critical breast cancer research and is also the proud recipient of the 2016 Susan G. Komen Reach Award for fundraising innovation (see March Madness in the Breast Cancer Arena). We have an established history of high dollar donations to both Susan G. Komen and the IBC Research Foundation. We partner with companies and non-profits to increase their impact through matching gift and creative programs. As a private foundation we are poised to play a unique role in structuring partnerships and fund raising programs. Find out more by visiting TheMilburnFoundation.org.
About Susan G. Komen®
Susan G. Komen is the world's largest breast cancer organization outside of the federal government, funding more breast cancer research than any other nonprofit while providing real-time help to those facing the disease. Since its founding in 1982, Komen has funded more than $920 million in research and provided more than $2 billion in funding to screening, education, treatment and psychosocial support programs. Komen has worked in more than 60 countries worldwide. Komen was founded by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would end the disease that claimed Suzy's life.

You Don't Have to Have a Lump to Have Breast Cancer
The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation is dedicated to researching the cause of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), an advanced and accelerated form of breast cancer usually not detected by mammograms or ultrasounds. IBC can be diffuse throughout the breast with no palpable mass. Lymph node involvement is assumed. Inflammatory breast cancer requires immediate aggressive treatment with chemotherapy prior to surgery and is treated differently than other types of breast cancer.
What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer?
"Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and very aggressive disease in which cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called "inflammatory" because the breast often looks swollen and red, or "inflamed."
Inflammatory breast cancer accounts for 1 to 5 percent of all breast cancers diagnosed in the United States. Most inflammatory breast cancers are invasive ductal carcinomas, which means they developed from cells that line the milk ducts of the breast and then spread beyond the ducts.
Inflammatory breast cancer progresses rapidly, often in a matter of weeks or months. Inflammatory breast cancer is either stage III or IV at diagnosis, depending on whether cancer cells have spread only to nearby lymph nodes or to other tissues as well.
Additional features of inflammatory breast cancer include the following:
- Compared with other types of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer tends to be diagnosed at younger ages (median age of 57 years, compared with a median age of 62 years for other types of breast cancer).
- It is more common and diagnosed at younger ages in African American women than in white women. The median age at diagnosis in African American women is 54 years, compared with a median age of 58 years in white women.
- Inflammatory breast tumors are frequently hormone receptor negative, which means that hormone therapies, such as tamoxifen, that interfere with the growth of cancer cells fueled by estrogen may not be effective against these tumors.
- Inflammatory breast cancer is more common in obese women than in women of normal weight.
Like other types of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer can occur in men, but usually at an older age (median age at diagnosis of 66.5 years) than in women."*

Cassie Rogers did it for the customers who frequent the Cigar Room.
The business at 108 S.E. Third St. in downtown Lee's Summit expanded earlier this year to add more space for a lounge area complete with Wi-Fi capabilities and a television.
Regular Eric Boswell of Lee's Summit believes Rogers did it for him and his stogie-smoking comrades who frequent the spot for friendly banter, a friendly smoke or two and even friendlier games of poker, or as much as a game of poker could be considered friendly.
Some – such as Boswell – even stop by during the day to set up a temporary office space.
Nevertheless, the Cigar Room has become a go-to spot for cigar lovers from all walks of life in the five years it's been in the downtown area.
"I started coming in here about three years ago, and I've met people that are now going to be life-long friends," Boswell said. "We all have very different backgrounds and different things that doesn't necessarily keep us in common, but this is the one thing that keeps us coming in here and enjoying the camaraderie."
Rogers said the idea when she decided to forgo storage space to add the additional lounge space was to keep her regulars coming back and to entice newbies to relax and enjoy their smoke. The addition added to an existing lounge area, but the new space provided customers with a new experience.
"I wanted to design an area – because I have a lot of guys that come in here during the day and work – where they can plug in their laptops and work," Rogers said of why she expanded. "Then also, there is another table that turns into a poker table because I have a lot of guys that come in here every Friday night to play poker. It was kind of two-fold."
"I think she did that (expansion) for us," Boswell added. "It's pretty nice. She expanded back here and put in a TV. It's been nice."
First time customer Anthony Arnone – he called himself a cigar novice – shopped for premium cigars in preparation for his sister's wedding July 5. He came away impress with the Cigar Room's offerings.
"I enjoyed the visit very much," Arnone, an Olathe native now living in Lee's Summit, said of his experience. "They have a big selection, a great big walk-in humidor and excellent customer service, too."
For repeat customers such as Boswell, he said a total of about 10 people rotate in and out of the Cigar Room on a regular basis, puffing on cigars, chatting and playing poker, among other activities.
"Everybody's got different tastes," he said. "That's the nice thing about her humidor; she stocks a lot of different things for everybody. It makes it nice. It kind of feels like a home away from home."
"I think some of it is sort of the camaraderie," added Rogers. "Also, it's just kind of one those things if you're sitting down and smoking a cigar, it kind of forces you to chill. My customer base, I have everything from college students up to retired (workers) so no matter what someone does in terms of profession or age, the common denominator is cigars.
"A lot of the guys that hang out in my back lounge have developed a friendship over the course of the last few years. It runs the gamut. Anybody can get into and do it."

Jaundice and Abnormal Liver Function Tests
- The incidence of liver disease is rising throughout the world and now accounts for 1.5% of deaths in the UK www.statistics.gov.uk
- In parallel there has been a year on year rise in the number of liver function tests (LFT) carried out in UK primary care practices. Liver functions tests are misleadingly named measureing two separate things liver injury (liver enzyme elevations) which is commonly abnormal and true liver function which is less common and usually represents clinically obvious severe disease.
- Primary care practitioners (PCPs) are thus commonly faced with the scenario of abnormal liver enzymes in patients in whom there are no clinical risks, signs or symptoms of liver disease. In the general population the prevalence of abnormal LFTs ranges between 6.3 and 20.9% depending on the definition, and is often an incidental finding.
- The natural history of most liver diseases is a long one, many decades, and abnormalities of liver enzymes will not lead to serious liver disease in the short or medium term, and in many cases not even in the long term.
- Markers of hepatic fibrosis are available which are validated in the detection of advanced liver disease (cirrhosis) or its exclusion although there is little evidence to their utility in primary care settings.
- Other patients will present clinically with symptoms of liver failure such as jaundice which can reflect a wide range of pathology from drug reactions through to acute viral hepatitis, alcohol and malignancy.
Patient View
- There is a need to increase understanding of liver disease and its many causes, to improve patient outcomes and reduce the stigma many patients experience. Currently there is a perception that all liver disease is due to alcohol.
Current Practice
- Prior to the development of end-stage liver disease patients are usually asymptomatic.
- The decision of whom to refer to secondary care with abnormal liver enzymes and when is often arbitary and has no relationship to the risk of serious disease being present.
- There is therefore a wide variation in thresholds for referral to secondary care.
Recommended Practice and Opportunities for Integrated Working
- Our principal recommendation is the establishment of local pathways for the investigation and referral of
- Patients with abnormal LFTs. These could usefully be based on the established national map of medicine and should incorporate a measure of hepatic fibrosis or algorithms to predict it..
- Acute jaundice: These could usefully be based on Hot clinics for such patients with short referral waits. The current 2ww system for cancer has jaundice as one of the triggering symptoms. I would suggest it would be better to suggest this is used rather than a separate system as GPs will not distinguish cancer v not cancer. What about: Jaundice is a symptoms suggesting serious disease and is a trigger for 2ww referral. This system should be developed and adapted to ensure every patients with jaundice due to cancer or other causes is seen and assessed at a single visit.
- National acute liver failure standards: These are monitored on a quarterly basis by NHSBT and demonstrate patient and graft survival for patients transplanted for acute liver failure. Not sure this helps at all, it rare and being monitored and if jaundice goes via 2ww will be picked up anyway . I would omit this.
- High risk groups for hepatitis B and C infection are readily identifiable. Models exist for community based services for detection and local management of hepatitis C infection in people attending substance misuse services or in prisons and these should become the standard model of care nationally. Ethnic minority groups at high risk of hepatitis B and C can readily be identified from general practice records and appropriately assessed in a community setting.
Desirable changes in practice include:
- Patient held record. This would contain, on a single page or equivalent, enough practical information about history, treatment, adverse effects, monitoring, responsibilities and key dates (eg liver biopsy, surveillance endoscopy) to enable decisions to be taken instantly. The record could be electronic, on paper or a paper copy of an e-record
- Shared records: Ultimately a patient held record automatically extracted from General Practice and (if possible) hospital records and accessible and modifiable in real time by the GP, the hospital and by the patient would be a logical and desirable extension of the patient held record which should be seen as an imperfect compromise. Commissioners should challenge IT departments to establish such a system.
Opportunities for Savings
- There is major potential for improving care and also saving money. Reduce unnecessary referrals by appropriate triaging and investigation in primary care.
- Prevention of progression to end stage disease and reduced complications of liver disease, reduced hospitalisation, reduced incidence of HCC and reduced requirement liver transplantation
Quality Indicators (Outcomes)
Some process metrics are highly likely to impact on outcomes:
- Presence of a locally agreed investigation and referral pathway
- Providers participate in national audits
- Adherence to locally agreed investigation and referral pathway
Outcome measures
- Adherence to locally agreed investigation and referral pathway
- Proportion of patients attending secondary care who have significant liver disease
- Reduction in complications of liver diseae by identification and therapy of cirrhosis and treatable liver disease such as hepatitis B and C
Social Policy & Understanding
- By themselves ALFTs do not constitute a major economic or social impact, although they are independent risk factors for poor outcome.
- The commonest cause of asymptomatic ALFTs is non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This reflects the major public health issues of obesity and type 2 diabetes and can be a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease.
- Alcoholic liver disease remains a major public heath issue.
- ALFTs may further represent a major burden to the NHS by way of investigations.

Momentum Builds for Candidate Bush
The campaign says support is building for Texas land commissioner candidate George P. Bush. Almost two dozen state lawmakers have endorsed the Republican for his first statewide office in just the last week.
Pipes says Texans are already voting, by offering endorsements and signing up for what is being called an online grassroots army.
"They're voting in terms of their endorsements and George P. is winning that race, hands down," says Kasey Pipes. "They're responding to his message of conservative leadership."
He says Bush is proud of his family's political heritage, but he is "his own man."
These are busy times for the candidate. "He's traveling the state," Pipes says. "He's meeting with civic groups, Republican groups, business groups all across the state. He's letting people know what his plans are once he's in office and he's letting people know about his conservative view for Texas."

And This Is Christmas
Christmas came in 2009 exactly six days early. Our children are no longer spread around the world, but Maryland to Arizona continues to make for complexity in scheduling a day when all five can come to Indiana. This year it came down to Dec. 19th. This schedule meant we had in our home five children, four of the world's best daughter-in-laws, one smarter-than-he-looks son-in-law, nine (as of now) grandchildren, my sister and her husband, one of my favorite nieces and her husband and two sons, and two exchange students living with my sister -- "Rosie" and "Jessie." A family gathering of some 29 in all crowded into our two-bedroom house. This is Christmas.
Our daughter Susan, being smart like her daddy, arranged for the grown-ups to stay at a hotel. Grandma and Granddad (mostly Grandma) kept five of the grandchildren Friday night. This is Christmas.
On "Christmas Day" (aka Saturday) we all packed around the tree and opened presents. Somehow Susan made sure every child got two gifts to unwrap. Hopefully for the most part these were things unexpected and not known they were wanted until received (the ones I got were!). This is Christmas.
As is my wont, I mostly just sat back and enjoyed the fact all our children wanted to be home. Am not entirely sure all five were all together at any one time as Benjamin and Lisa came late, having driven 26 hours in that infamous snowstorm,. But, when they were here it was without pain in their lives, without conflict amongst them, and glad God put them together in this particular family. This is Christmas.
I explained to the two exchange students that it wasn't about the day or the gifts; but when family is together and happy, this is Christmas.
Christmas Eve Kay and I attended the services at Christ Community Church. As previously written, if Christians lament taking Christ out of "the holidays," they might start by putting Him back in Christmas Eve. The services were a bit "modern" for this old man, but overall it was very nice.
Somehow all this meant that Christmas morning (the real one) left Kay and I home alone for the first time in 44 years. The first few years of our lives together demanded we run off to Grandma and Grandpa's and/or Grandmother and Granddaddy's house for Christmas. With the passing to time and people, we went through the golden years of having our own children in our own home and our own memories.
Then, sometime way too soon, we became the grandparents who must be visited by our children's young families. With the blessing of conflicting timetables, this Christmas morning each of our five are learning that with the passage of time and people they need to establish their own homes and memories -- and their learning this is what I'd want for any Christmas. To allow a child to grow up and make their own way is the only real gift a parent can give. This is Christmas.
I gave Kay a gift the "real" Christmas morning (I am old and overly traditional). Hopefully it was something unexpected and not known it was wanted until received. For a little while our home was blessed with the un-modern gift of a certain Susan Boyle of the United Kingdom. And this is Christmas.

And You Can't Bake It In A Pie Either
In case your monitor can't display pictures, or you're black-white colorblind, or you've never seen an iPod before, let's make this clear: this iPod comes with white earbuds and white earbuds only.
We say this to pre-empt another ugly situation like the one we had with Millard, the customer who demanded satisfaction after we had the temerity to send white earbuds with his black iPod.
Not mollified by the fact that Apple only makes white earbuds, Millard grumbled that now his daughter would lack a properly color-coordinated personal media solution. So he went out and paid $29 for black earbuds somewhere else and laid the blame at our feet. Despite our humongous photo of said iPod with white earbuds, despite everybody on Earth except Millard knowing that Apple's white earbuds are iconic and ubiquitous, Millard still insisted that we "do something to off-set my additional expense" because he "felt mislead." We're a funny species, aren't we?
So for all you Millards out there, even if you choose the "Black" option for today's Apple iPod 30GB Video, be advised that it will NOT include black earbuds. It will give you 30GB of storage space for music and video, a 2.5" 320×240 QVGA screen, and a built-in rechargeable battery good for 14 hours of music or 2 hours of video on a charge. And it'll come in the characteristically stylish and hand-pleasing Apple hardware that has taken the world by storm. If you really, really need to play your Black iPod through something black, we know where you can find a cheap iPod boombox/docking speakmajig that will satisfy your peculiar chromatic fixation.
But black earbuds? Sorry, Millard. Not the way this whole iPod thing works. Before you spend thirty bucks to correct our "mistake", here's a tip: it'd be a lot cheaper to buy a can of spray paint. Sure, you won't be able to listen to the earbuds after you paint them. But they'll be the right color. And that's really the important thing. Apparently.

Dickinson's IRB policy statement (standard operating procedures, or SOP) was approved by the IRB and the College on May 10, 2013.
The SOP document replaces the original policy dated 2003. It ensures the IRB is in full compliance by providing more robust statements regarding the IRB's specific responsibilities and how they are undertaken. The SOPs also describe the roles of departmental reviewers, faculty supervisors, and address a host of other details. What specifically does not change is that oral history research remains excluded from IRB review, because it does not meet the federal definition of research that is subject to regulation.
The SOPs are now available here (use your Dickinson email and password to access) and as an indexed PDF on the IRB Mentor on-line submission system main page. The IRB intends to provide additional practical information - via FAQs and a Q&A - on IRB Mentor and on the IRB website, rather than integrating those in the SOP's.
Note that the new SOP borrows substantially from that of the Fairfield University IRB where our IRB Mentor online protocol submission system was developed. FFU's agreement to allow Dickinson's IRB to use their SOPs as a model is acknowledged with gratitude.

NICE job !!
This is a discussion on IWB for my new Glock 19 within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm stuck home with the H1N1 flu so I made a new IWB holster for my New Glock, the first one I did didnt cover ...
I'm stuck home with the H1N1 flu so I made a new IWB holster for my New Glock, the first one I did didnt cover the trigger guard enough so I re did the design.
Good looking rig!
Hope you have a speedy recovery.!
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
That's very nice. Are you doing other stuff too ? I hope you get well soon. My sister has H1N1 as well.
That looks really good. I hope you recover soon.

It has taken a lot of tries to get a design and quality Im happy with (Ive got a box full of my first attempts). I copied the style from AKJ Concealco, and modified it bit. I also make my own belts, but they are kind of a pain to hand stitch.
One can get a box of holsters from making them or buying them...making them seems much cheaper...nice work, by the way.

Good job. It is very addictive and I agree fully about the belt. I have made ONE belt because I hand stitch everything as well. Get well soon.

Very nice job! Swine flu? Get well soon.
Good looking holster! Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
I like your work Carl, particularly the Scabbard model.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you use as a finish coat for your leather?
I have been using Fiebings tan-coat, but it seems to wear rather fast.
Nice work there bud. I saw the AKJ influence in your design. I really like my AKJ holster for my Hi Power. I bet your design will work very well too.
Nice holster, wish I had that kind of talent.
Good job on the holster!
Get well soon.

Tread carefully
My elderly father has lived on his own for some years now. He is in receipt of benefits but, out of choice, has very few outgoings and saves a considerable amount of money each week. He used to worry about running up bills and would not turn on the central heating unless it was extremely cold or we were visiting; could it be that this gentleman turns the heating off himself? Social services are obviously aware he is vulnerable or they would not be visiting him in his home.
You say the family "pretend" not to be at home - how do you know this is the case? Uncaring families do not visit relatives in hospital.
Why don't you carry on giving this man the occasional hot meal, talk to him about having his heating on in the winter, suggest that he makes use of one of the companies that deliver well-balanced, frozen ready meals, and stop making apparently unfounded accusations about his family.
Name and address withheld
You must take action
Abuse of the elderly at the hands of family, carers or strangers is a common problem but rarely makes headline news. Without wishing to jump to conclusions or sound melodramatic the situation you describe has all the hallmarks of physical, emotional and financial abuse of a vulnerable elderly man who probably feels powerless to change his situation.
You must take action on his behalf without delay - do not discuss his situation further with his family: instead contact your local social services department and fully describe your neighbour's situation. Social services should investigate his circumstances under their Vulnerable Adult Procedures and will also have a duty to assess his needs for care. He may be entitled to additional financial benefits to pay for this and social services or Age Concern should be able to give him appropriate advice.
Do not ask your neighbour if he would like you to refer him; you will be in a greater predicament if he refuses; inform him as soon as you have contacted the authorities and explain that this was because of your concern for him. The fact that he wanders around in his pyjamas may indicate that he has mental-health needs which need addressing; it may be worth contacting his GP or local Older Person's Mental Health Team as well.
KA, Louth
Tell social services
Your experience is not uncommon and situations such as you describe will become more frequent as community care takes over the responsibility of assessing and providing for the needs of elderly, vulnerable people, especially those who exhibit signs of dementia, malnutrition or hypothermia.
You must speak with the local social services and find out which social worker is allocated to monitor his needs. Everything said is treated in confidence. Inform them that he is not caring for himself or able to perform what is known in the profession as ADLs (activities of daily living). These include feeding oneself, washing, dressing and maintaining a suitable environment in which to live. Clearly, he is unable to do this.
He should be referred to a psychogeriatrician, who could visit him at home. As a psychiatric nurse specialising in the care of the elderly, I think he should be referred by his GP as soon as possible.
As the entitlement for NHS care becomes less readily available, relatives of vulnerable people see their inheritance dwindle, as a contribution to care- home fees is required if the person has money or property above a certain threshold. But forget the alleged financial skulduggery - you have no concrete evidence and it detracts from what you have to say about this man's condition.

Next week
I've been married for four years. We have a four-year-old and a three-year-old. I don't love my husband any more. I did, but I don't feel any sexual attraction at all now. For the last two years, I've tried to avoid sex whenever I can get away with it and pretended it's OK when I can't. Often I've shed tears afterwards; it's horrible to have sex with someone you don't love. My husband says he still loves me and I'm selfish if I don't try to make this work. Our counsellor thinks I've blocked up all my emotions and could be depressed. We have only known each other for six years and everything happened very quickly. I am 41 and I know what life as a single person is like; I'd rather do that than stay with him and be unhappy. I feel trapped and like a villain if I even talk about a split - temporary or permanent. Any advice?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1043 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
• The speeder of the week near Minnedosa is a little light in the pocket after a massive fine issued by RCMP recently. The speeder was caught in a construction zone, where speed fines double. Going 54 kilometres over the speed limit, the driver was given a $1,463.75 fine.
» Minnedosa Tribune
• Tegan Radcliffe has spent the last number of years paying it forward. At a We Day event in Winnipeg, Radcliffe won a trip with a charity organization to Delhi, India. For 10 days, Radcliffe, along with three students and two chaperones, spent time immersed in the local culture. "We were given the opportunity to see what village life was really like," she said. Earlier this year, she spent four months in South Africa. In early August, she was awarded the Canadian Mennonite University's Leadership Scholarship.

• Thieves broke into the Killarney Flywheel Club and made off with some cash and a number of tools. "It was upsetting," said Rick Green, director of the club. "We've never had an issue like this before. We have had lots of vandalism, but never a theft." Green said the door was kicked in and a yellow portable air tank, with the letters TMFC written on it in black ink, was stolen.

• The Hammond family has farmed southeast of Bradwardine for more than a century and recently hosted a celebration to mark the occasion. The highlight of the afternoon was the starting of a 1912 International Harvest Co. Mogul steel-wheeled tractor that was purchased in 1914 by brothers Tom and George Hammond, sons of John Hammond. Gordon Hammond, who now farms the land, has kept the tractor in good working order.

• There was good news and bad news at the Neepawa Natives annual general meeting held Aug. 11. While the financial statements weren't positive, they didn't come as a surprise either. "Nearly every team in the MJHL lost money last year," team president Dave McIntosh said. "We have the claim to fame, to being the first to talk about it publicly." A few fundraising drives have helped as $30,000 has been raised and approximately 200 season tickets were sold. That's more than double last year's sales and puts the team in a much better position.

• The Westman Wildcats female AAA midget hockey program continues to pump out talented players. Last year, eight former Wildcats had rookie seasons at the collegiate or university level. Virden's Karissa Kirkup finished tied for third on the University of Maine NCAA Div. 1 women's hockey team, while former Wildcats teammate Jessica Vallotton joined her on the team and picked up a goal and four assists. Amanda Coey, a freshman forward with the University of Wisconsin-Superior, had a goal and six assists for the Div. 3 team. Other players to play at a high level were Glenboro's Teagan Pringle (University of Prince Edward Island), Boissevain's Samantha Dyck and Kaitlyn Whaley (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) and Killarney's Karissa Haney (Augsburg College).

• In their first season, the Elkhorn Expos made it all the way to the semifinals of the provincial senior AA baseball championships hosted by Hamiota. "The Expos never gave up," player rep Mike Stevenson said. "After our first loss of provincials, it definitely got the team down but we battled back in our second game and won in extra innings. It was nice to get our first win of provincials and I think that carried into our third game. The fans also played a huge role. It was nice to have our fans at these games and cheer us on like they do at home."

• A 39-year-old Calder man faces charges after attempting to impersonate an RCMP officer.
On July 19, police were called after a man pulled a car over on the highway to Yorkton near Wroxton, claiming to be a member of the RCMP.
At the time, the driver was suspicious and asked for identification, at which point the man claiming to be a cop left.
The man was arrested later the same day by members of the Langenburg RCMP.

• The Baldur Regals have cemented their senior AA baseball dynasty after capturing their fourth provincial title in seven years. The Regals, who went undefeated in the tournament hosted by Hamiota, needed a Nathan Ramage walk-off double to beat the Minnedosa Mavericks 8-7 in the final. It's the first title for the Regals since winning three straight from 2008 to 2010.
• The City of Dauphin has been steadfast in its decision to not fog for mosquitoes.
It was a unanimous decision, as council believes there are too many unknown factors regarding the chemical malathion.
The city will instead continue with its larviciding program, which began in May and is performed every seven to 10 days.

• The 3 & 83 Cruisers will celebrate two decades of Show 'N' Shine in Melita this month. The first show was located south of machinery row back on Sept. 24, 1995. It was in conjunction with the annual Strawwalkers' Threshing Day and continued even after the Strawwalkers' disbanded.
