2012-11-30 • Free or Fugitive AL OH
Start: 12:10:16
Daviss: Good Morning/Afternoon hi there partner!
alt: hello Daviss, how be's ya?
Daviss: I be fine lol What about you?
alt: just finished listening to Bernice's show from last night..... great show, the guest was very easy to listen to.
Daviss: I will have to listen.. When I thought about it last night it was durn near over
alt: please do listen.. you will enjoy it.
Daviss: I imagine it was geared for the ones who go to the archives
alt: it was, but it covered a lot of other 'stuff'... the guest was just a very pleasant and informed person.
Daviss: thats great alt by stuff, do you mean what you can gleam from a internet search?
alt: well, got any plans since you didn't win powerball? LOL she mentioned some of her organizing techinques and also differences in researching from 10-15-20 years ago...
Daviss: ok I will check it out well alt, I think I found my grandmother BUT still no sign of my mother I am so puzzled by this
alt: really, now this is 1940, right?
Daviss: yes it is alt
vkn: Good howdy y'all
alt: hello vkn... how be's ya?
vkn: ees good
Daviss: hello vkn how are ya
vkn: bees good
alt: so your mother wasn't enumerated with her mother in 1940?
Daviss: nope nor was she with any of her grandparents nor aunts or uncles
alt: wow, was gonna ask if she was with any relatives.
Daviss: I am at another loss now
alt: could she have been away .. like at a boarding school?
vkn: How old was she in 1940 daviss and where do you find her in 1930
Daviss: no idea about boarding school but rather doubt that since all the other cousins of hers all went to the same school I have her in 1930 vkn .. she should be 15 in 40
alt: were her parents together in 1940? mine were not.. and I was listed living with my father and a great aunt.
Daviss: no alt parents were not married... if this is her mother that I think I have, she should be in the household with her grandparents or mother
vkn: So can you get records from Supt of schools for 39 or 41
alt: good thought vkn... school records for that time period.
Daviss: I weill see if I can get them vkn but if they have them listed as a earlier one I have it is no use. Example Joe Taylor has 6 kids enrolled.. no names or nothing
vkn: I see
Daviss: Since its a different time I will see if it is different
alt: was your grandmother listed as being in the same placein 1935?
Daviss: yes alt however I think I have a marriage record of her from Ark
Selma: Afternoon folks
alt: hello Selma, how you doing today? are you now squared away on who BJ Gray is?
Daviss: hello Selma
vkn: In 1940 she would have been about 10th grade so there is prolly a graduatiom about 1942 with a program
Selma: Yes..I forwarded that info to a friend.. Going to check out her website..when I get a chance
alt: okay Selma... good
Daviss: I feel like a balloon that has been let go and someone put a tiny hole in it with a bb gun bb gun pellet sheesh they are called bb's
Selma: Yes, program last night was very good
vkn: It was good Selma
Selma: I have to believe that C Span 3 would film the Emancipation Proclamation activities
Daviss: I forgot about program last night and remembered when it was almost over
alt: I thought the guest was a very good 'talker' Selma, her voice was very easy to listen to, reminded me of your interview with Bernice ... smooth & easy.
Selma: I met her at an AAHGS conference in DC many years ago..her first book was very good looking forward to the 2nd one Thank you alt...glad I came over smooth and easy cause I was a wreck.. LOL
alt: you sure didn't 'show' it
vkn: It was an easy listen and she had good organizational suggestions
Daviss: sure didn't
alt: yes she did vkn, I can't imagine the 'detail' of her folders. no wonder my 'stuff' is in such a mess.
Selma: LOL
vkn: Selma and alt do you recall her chatting with us at AfriGeneas when she was gathering data for her first book, And Selma isn't she on book 3 now?
Selma: She came to an evening chat vkn?
alt: I liked he comparisons to researching 10-20 years ago.. that's what I tried to convey when Bernice had me on her show... there is a world of difference from then to now.
vkn: and posted to the main mail list
Selma: I think so vkn..its probably in the archives or was it too far back
alt: I really don't recall her and AfriGeneas vkn.
Selma: Wasn't she a reporter? Have to find the book and see what it says Not sure what number book vkn..I only remember the first one
vkn: In the promo Bernice mentioned book 3 in process
alt: very good advice on being 'prepared' for a visit to NARA, or any archival facility for that matter, if you are aware of what might be availble you're certain to be overwhelmed and not have a very successful visit. are aware= are NOT aware.
Daviss: I can imagine it would be an all day affair too with all the information
Selma: Sometimes I just like to browse...
alt: and that could be looking for just one piece of information Daviss me too Selma.. that' why I need at least 2 days
Selma: Understanding that I am relatively close to some of these places..and not everyone has that opportunity
Seventies: Good afternoon all... here is my late pass... lol
Selma: Afternoon seventies.
alt: hello young'un LOL LOL
vkn: lol with late pass seventies
Seventies: hi alt, Daviss, Selma and vkn
Daviss: Yes Selma the nearest one for me to get any type of information is about 1200 miles away
Selma: Browsing was how I found those Virgin Island records at NARA 11..when they first opened
Daviss: Hi there Seventies
Seventies: Looks like we're talking about national archive records. . .
Selma: We were talking about BB's show last night..the speaker talked about NARA
Seventies: ah okay
alt: proximity is a big factor Selma.. folks really should be appreciative when they are near a great facility, or their records sets of interest.
Selma: Yes they should alt...I am
Seventies: absolutely. I'm half a country away from my record sets.
Daviss: Did you listen to the show How far away from the Archives Seventies
alt: but as the guest pointed out last night many materials at the larger repositories are coming online.. so be attuned to what they have online.
vkn: Alabama Room Resources Seventies
Seventies: I didn't listen to the show, I was busy with the kids last night. Football team got special recognition for being section champions... son got a letter. So proud! thank you vkn!
Daviss: Good for him !!!
Selma: Good for him
Seventies: Closest archives to me are in NYC, but they don't have the southern records Daviss. I have to go to Washington D.C. for that
alt: wonderful Seventies, pass on my congratulations to your son and tell him to keep up the good work.
Daviss: How far is that
Seventies: about 4 hours
Daviss: oh ok I know those states are short
Seventies: This is one of the reasons why I chose D.C. for my winter break vacations. And its really cost effective $68 a night for TLF (Temp Lodging) in D.C.
Daviss: thats a very good price
Seventies: Yes most hotel rooms in D.C and Baltimore start off at $150 per night
alt: is this 'on-base housing' Seventies
Seventies: yes billeting/lodging.
alt: okay Seventies I asked Daviss, but what are y'all gonna do now that we know we didn't win powerball ? LOL LOL
karoshi8: Hello everyone! How have you all been?
alt: Hi karoshi8, how ya doing?
Seventies: I'm doing it now.. lol Sitting at work! lol
Daviss: hello karoshi08
Seventies: hello karoshi08
karoshi8: Can't complain. Finished with the 6000 on my Stewart side, now starting on the Stevens/Calloway side.
Selma: Afternoon karoshi8
Seventies: That's great karoshi8
Selma: karoshi..have I asked you before, where are your Stewart's from?
alt: finished??? don't bet on it karoshi8, finished records have a way of leading us to new folks LOL lOL
vkn: Daviss and alt and Selma based on the chat log of yesterday we will be updating the intro to the surname forum to include words like "Enter your question(s). 1. Please be as specific as possible. 2. Please list any resources that you have already consulted.What say y'all?
karoshi8: My Stewarts come from Lincoln county Kentucky
Selma: Nice try vkn...
karoshi8: Oh don't I know it alt! The more people I transfer over to tribal pages from ancestry the more I find.
alt: sounds good to me vkn... let's just hope that the posters READ the guidlelines for each Forum.... you can lead us to the water, but....... LOL
Selma: When did they get to Lincoln County KY..and where were they before that
karoshi8: At least as far as 1850 they are in Kentucky Selma. I don't know. Something I've been trying to find out. I've found some in Mississippi and Tennessee. But I don't know how or if they connect.
Selma: I research STEWART's in Virginia..they were free blacks, coming out of Campbell County and Amherst
karoshi8: I have a lot out of Virginia, but I haven't run into any Stewarts. what did you find?
vkn: Well Alt we can make 1 & 2 the first response to non specific queries even if it is from the "tell a friend" button
Selma: Free Negro Registers, land records..
vkn: Howdy Karoshi8
karoshi8: Ok. I've looked at the registers, but I don't have anything to connect.
alt: oh, oh Selma... you know I have Stearts from VA/MD/NC from the early 1800's.... need to look at Campbell & Amherst .. Campbell is Lynchburg, right?
Seventies: What part of MS karoshi8?
karoshi8: Don't know Seventies. I just know there are some in MS.
Selma: Lynchburg is geographically in Campbell, but is an independent city
Seventies: There are many Stewarts/Stuarts in Wilkinson Co. and Adams Co. MS
Selma: Besides the census, what other records have you found for them in KY karoshi
karoshi8: I'll have to look into it Seventies thank you. You too Selma. The person I find in 1850 is Harriet she lives in her own house with her 3 kids. No husband present. She gets married to a Withers between 1860-1870. I cannot get any further back with her than the 1850's census.
Selma: Tell me who are you looking for alt..I will check my stuff How old are her children in 1850
karoshi8: Let me look real quick
alt: Most of my Stewart's are FPOC and they come from those lines of Heinegg's writings... white indentured woman 'hooking' up with black enslaved men.
karoshi8: 15, 13, and 12 I can find some FPOC Stewarts in 1830-40 in Kentucky. Though, it is hard to tell if my Harriet is apart of them.
Selma: karoshi8 When those 3 children marry..do they provide any info?
karoshi8: I found the marriage certificate for the one that did marry, but no info. Just the date and county.
Selma: Are there are free black families living in the same neighborhood as them in 1850
karoshi8: Not many. I think I total of 4 families. Maybe less.
Selma: Have you taken a look at the County Court Order books (not sure if they are called that there) Were there laws that applied to free blacks in KY during that time frame..re: registration or something
karoshi8: Yes, I ordered some pages, but that was for Penman's who married a Stewart. I cannot find anything else on Stewart that fits.
Selma: that would have generated a record
karoshi8: I haven't been able to find a registration in Lincoln county or any of the surrounding counties. It's like I've been able to trace everyone else past 1850 except Harriet Stewart.
Selma: and where were the other folks coming from prior to 1850
alt: I had an interesting question come up yesterday..... Can a slave owner free/manumit/emancipate their slaves in a 'free state' .. example slave owner in MS, can they manumit/free their slaves in Ohio? any thoughts?
karoshi8: North Carolina. The Penman's I found the court records on Darby Penman buying his wife and child from Anderson Pigg in 1797. But Stewarts...no dice. Winburns I find on the FPOC registry.
Selma: Didn't that come up in one of the TV shows alt
alt: somewhat Selma....
Selma: You mean "take" them to Ohio and free them..as opposed to freeing them in MS and sending them in OHio
alt: right, take them to a free state as slaves and then 'freeing' them.
karoshi8: My Stewarts didn't come to Ohio until 1906 or so. I can trace them from 1850 to 1880, then I loose them, and pick them up again in 1920.
Selma: BRB
vkn: Alt you answered that one for me re Horace King who was emancipated in Alabama and in Ohio. At least it sounds the same.
alt: my answer to the question is .. NO ... they have to be 'freed' in the State where they were enslaved.
vkn: hmmmm
alt: in your case vkn... King was freed in Alabama and registered as an FPOC in Ohio.
karoshi8: Didn't they usually have to pay to register?
vkn: Well he has an emancipation document from AL and from OH Alt
alt: there was a 'loosely' applied bond registration in most free states. okay vkn... I think his emancipation statement is that he was freed in Alabama.... and registered as an FPOC, with that 'freeing document' in Ohio.
vkn: Horace was a student at Oberlin if I recall correctly where he was learning bridge building
alt: it's similar to the Emancipation Proclaimation ..... could Pres. Lincoln "free" the slaves in the slave holding states when they weren't a part of the Union. it's a technical 'mess' vkn..... how can you 'free' someone in a State where slavery is prohibited?
Daviss: hmmm
alt: His document in Ohio 'proved' that he was freed in Alabama and was not in Ohio as a 'fugitive slave', but rather as an FPOC.
vkn: I will check again re Horace and papers. I hear the techie part and of course you are making sense.however my recall may not be on point
Selma: Yes..because if a "fugitive slave"..he would be returned to owner
alt: it is a pretty deep question... I think it borders a lot on what the Dred Scott decision stated. oh well, just thought I would throw that out there... sorry to take up so much of the conversation with it.
Daviss: putting my running shoes on...later folks, good convo
Selma: Wonder where daviss..is "running to"..the casino.. LOL
alt: Oops, me too .. gotta run .. laters y'all
Seventies: lol I've gotten engrossed in my work.. lol hey y'all have a great weekend!
karoshi8: Lol
Selma: I have to run to... Have a great day
vkn: It is good convo alt. May such dialogue increase
karoshi8: Bye guys thanks for the help!
alt: that's where I'm headed Selma LOL LOL

Budapest: Hungarian filmmaker Miklos Jancso, winner of the best director award at the 1972 Cannes film festival, has died. He was 92.
Jancso`s death yesterday after a long illness was announced by the Association of Hungarian Film Artists.
Known for his long shots and for depicting the passage of time in his historical epics merely by costume changes, Jancso won his Cannes award for "Red Psalm," about a 19th-century peasant revolt.
In the 1960s, critics ranked Jancso alongside such great directors as Michelangelo Antonioni and Ingmar Bergman. However, it was his use of scantily clad women, symbolising defencelessness, which drew big audiences in prudish communist Hungary.
Jancso was born Sep 27, 1921, in Vac, a small town north of Budapest.

The wait was longer than expected, but by the end of the 2014 NFL draft, five former Wisconsin Badgers had been selected by five different professional teams. Dezmen Southward, Chris Borland, James White, Jared Abbrederis, and Beau Allen were all called-up over the weekend. Five more alumni who went undrafted were offered contracts in free agency soon after the event, including quarterback Danny O'Brien, who will go to Atlanta along with Southward.
Tightends Brian Wozniak and Jacob Peterson, also undrafted, will join O'Brien and Southward at the Falcons spring camp.
Despite speculation that headline makers Borland or Abbrederis would be the first former Badger to be taken, Southward was the first to go, at 68 overall. The third-round selection is the lowest debut pick in decades for Wisconsin graduates, who have represented at least one opening-round choice every year since 1978. The safety was not disappointed with the unusual timing, however, already thanking the team in interviews on various Atlanta radio and television stations.
Borland, a candidate for an early-round selection this year, instead followed Southward nine picks later at 77 overall. The linebacker finished his storied collegiate career with 15 forced fumbles, the most in Wisconsin history and second most all-time in the FBS, as well as top-10 program numbers in four other categories.
The San Francisco 49ers will host Borland at their camp starting this month.
Running back White was the third Badger to be called this weekend. New England used their fourth-round pick to attain the 130 overall selection, the thirteenth running-back to be chosen at that point in the draft. White could usually be found playing a support role to a host of top-prospect backs including Montee Ball and John Clay, though he was especially keen at finding holes once in the redzone. White fumbled just twice on 754 carries over his four seasons in Wisconsin.
Perhaps White's most memorable rush came in 2010 against then number one ranked Ohio State. Up three points with just minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, White came out for a first-down run from the Buckeyes ten-yard line. A few quick side-steps and he was in the endzone, putting the final dagger in what remains one of the Badgers biggest upsets in history.
Rounding-out the later rounds of the 2014 draft was wide receiver Abbrederis and nose tackle Allen. The pair were selected by the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively, at 176 and 224 overall. Abbrederis, a Wisconsin native, was expected to fetch hefty interest at the end of the 2013 season, though a disappointing showing at the combine lowered his prospects.

BY: Joana Adams, RSS, AUG/27/2013, SSN;
It is high time the SPLM tore down the misleading slogan of "equality, justice, freedom and prosperity for all," which litters our streets and invades our public spaces. Recent events in the country have demonstrated that the president is a dysfunctional and fundamentally wicked man who is gradually stripping away our human liberties and dignities.
Human beings are by nature autonomous, it is the ability to make autonomous decisions which differentiates man from animals. It is for this reason that we must vigorously defend and protect our hard won freedom and independence.
Over the last 8 years, Salva Kiir, the man whom southerners thought was a "good-guy" in contrast to his predecessor, late Dr. John Garang, has gradually transformed himself into a national monster. We gave him the chance, because each time Salva did something wrong, we never called "a spade a spade" but gave excuses on his behalf, just as we did during the liberation struggle when we never wanted to "rock the boat".
This mentality continued as late as 2010 during the general elections, when we had the chance to scrutinise his credentials but didn't. By the time of re-writing of the Transitional Constitution 2011, it was too late to challenge President Salva or hold him to account. The incumbent had already consolidated his grip on power and very few dared to oppose him.
The lawyers whom the country thought they could rely upon, to use their professional expertise and judgements to deliver for us a Constitution worthy of the name, failed the nation. They chose to appease Salva Kiir to protect their jobs and privileges and gave Salva Kiir a Constitution which made him above the emerging nation's supreme law. And now the president is using it with vengeance.
What is alarming is that within a short space of two years, Salva Kiir has turned the country which our people won with their blood and sweat into a personal kingdom. Initially the people of South Sudan wanted preservation of the federal provisions in the Interim Constitution 2005; they also wanted a clear separation of powers— firstly, between the three organs of the state: i.e. the executive, the legislature and the judiciary at the national level; and secondly separation of powers between the federal government and state governments.
They got none. Even the sacred Bill of Rights for which southerners fought consecutive Khartoum regimes, sacrificed and died in their millions for is being routinely derogated.
Just to emphasize the point, President Kiir has further damaged our nascent state institutions by appointing his relatives to head our judiciary and the Bank of South Sudan. Why are we surprised when injustice is the order of the day and millions of public funds are being siphoned daily into external private accounts and fake companies?
It has finally come to light that the President actually writes directly to these appointee relatives instructing them what to do, thereby, directly interfering with established institutional mechanisms and procedures. By so doing, he is not only violating our Constitution but is fundamentally dismantling the very foundation of our nascent country and its fledgling democracy.
In the most unprecedented manner in the short history of modern South Sudan, the president turned monarch rules by decrees. Worst of all, in peace time, southerners are being killed daily by their own security forces under the careful watch of the President.
We may not like it but it is fair to say that there is blood in the hands of the incumbent president, Salva Kiir Mayardit.
In deed there is no other way to describe Kiir's regime other than that it is a system "rotten to the core"; a statement which made the eminent Professor Nyamlel Wako, the former deputy minister of foreign affairs to be swiftly dismissed. This Professor who like many others abandoned his relative comfort in the US and answered to the call of nation building is now being humiliated and literally being made to roam the streets of Juba.
If there was no tribalism, the Professor should have actually been the then minister of foreign affairs to be deputised by Nial Deng and not the other way round.
The painful contradiction here is that whereas Salva and his inner circle are barking that there are no qualified southerners to run our systems, or develop policies, he is following the footsteps of former African dictators who were essentially anti-educated people, and did their part in forcing exodus of educated nationals into distant and foreign countries.
Today we are sadly seeing the learned from amongst us being silenced, eliminated or forced into exile in neighbouring countries. Extermination of our educated people who should be helping to lay the foundation for our economy, industry, technology, education, medicine… etc. should one day be accounted for.
In a short period of time, the president has become addicted to abusing power and abusing his people. If we thought that Salva Kiir would lead us to freedom from the atrocities, oppression, marginalisation and dehumanisation by Khartoum, and into the celebrated promised-land for all, we were mistaken.
Little did we know that our very own "liberators" in the form of Salva Kiir Mayardit, the boy from Warrap, would waste no time in turning our hard-won independence into a play-ground for testing his man-hood.
Salva Kiir can now remove elected governors at will. He has removed an elected VP his running mate during the 2010 general elections without observing the Transitional Constitution 2011, which requires him to secure 2/3 parliamentary majority should he desire to remove the former Vice-President.
I am not a supporter of Riek Machar, not yet, but this was unconstitutional and the truth must be said. Only people who have sold their souls and lost their consciences can celebrate when our Constitution is being violated.
True to the point, as people were still reeling from the political tsunami unleashed by sacking his entire cabinet and removing the elected VP, the newly emboldened President wasted no time in trimming the horns of Cde Pagan Amum, the Secretary General of the SPLM.
Salva Kiir has now clearly demonstrated that he is the absolute ruler in South Sudan. He sees himself as immune from the safeguards of modern democracies; does not contemplate any SPLM party rebellion or impeachment by his parliament.
If you are still not convinced, look at the arrogance and disrespect he treated elected MP's. Instead of lobbying the MP's in a civilised manner to support his nominee, Wani Igga, for the post of VP, without provocation, he lost his temper and threatened to "dissolve the parliament and make the lawmakers roam in the streets", (Sudan Tribune 24th August 2013.
"The President came in with bad mood and introduced to us Cde James Wani Igga for his nomination as the new Vice President. Then he started to threaten us with dissolutions and dismissals. After he finished with his threats nobody spoke and the meeting ended like that. We will now sit today as parliament to see what to do". What could they do? Within hours, the Parliament capitulated and like a spoilt child, Kiir got his way.
But Kiir needs to be reminded that he has no right to treat elected MP's contemptuously just to boost his crumbling ego. By so doing he is not just disrespecting individual MP's, governors, elected VP, and the list continues, he is disrespecting the will of the people of South Sudan.
If Kiir doesn't respect our Constitution, he doesn't respect our Institutional structures and mechanisms and clearly doesn't respect our elected representatives, what gives him the right to rule over us?
The people have given him so much, not that he deserves it, not any more in my opinion, but what has he given back in return, in this social contract between the ruled and the rulers?
If he was frustrated because the Parliament rejected his nominee, infamous Telar Ring, in any game or competition, there are winners and losers.
Kiir is not only intolerant to criticisms but doesn't expect to be challenged by colleagues in government. In short he is a very bad looser. In modern democracies, we need leaders who are emotionally balanced and can honourably accept defeats.
As we position ourselves for the upcoming elections, we now need to dissect the attributes of not just Kiir the man but also Kiir the father and Kiir the husband. If a president can charge at his MP's and SPLM Parliamentary caucuses at that, what example is he showing to our army as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and what example is he showing to the country at large?
Some people might be stuck in the past but whether we like it or not we live in the 21st century and it is high time we start scrutinising not just the academic credentials of our prospective leaders but also their characters and the manner they present and conduct themselves in public. After all these people once elected will represent us at home and abroad, and this should concern us.
To prevent repeat of situations where some African despots in not too distant a past, showered bullets on colleagues in cabinet meetings, we need to weed out the emotionally unstable candidates in the public interest.
Kiir, Equatoria and Cde Wani Igga
We also live in an era where models of good governance to include participatory, inclusive and representative democracies – democracies that take into account the different political variables or diversities in a country; democracies that do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion or gender.
South Sudan is essentially a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society. In Kiir's latest cabinet, there is a gross under-representation of Equatoria which got only 3 out of 19 or 20 cabinet portfolios. I stand to be corrected but one ethnic group has 10 or 11 members while most of the 60 or so tribes that are unrepresented in the national government look on.
This situation is replicated in the security services, the judiciary and in the diplomatic services. Eastern Equatoria state has no ministerial representation apart from Obuto Mamur who sits in the presidency.
Could you imagine Warrap, Lakes or Jonglei states having no ministerial position in the federal cabinet? Hell would break loose!
And yet in his political machinations, Kiir is trying to woo the people of Equatoria whom he has marginalised and oppressed for 8 years by a simple vice-presidential post for Wani Igga. This is cheap politics.
If Kiir didn't fall out with his former VP and SPLM guru Pagan Amum, he would never have remembered that the seat of his government is in the land of Equatoria. This is not the time to support the man who is allowing our people to be killed day and night in Juba and elsewhere in South Sudan.
Let us remember that history always repeats itself: once a dictator, always a dictator.
If we make the mistake to throw in our lot with Salva in less than a year after the election in 2015, we will be crying foul again. Let us be clear about one thing, Salva doesn't want the people of Equatoria but only wants their votes come 2015.
If we support Salva then we must forever hold our peace when he moves in his tanks or brings in mercenaries to clear our land of people in not too distant a future.
Going back to the Wani Igga issue, the question one could ask is, what is that Wani can do as a Vice President which he couldn't do as Speaker of the national parliament? Which position is more powerful in the eyes of Wani Igga?
Is Wani interested in personal glorification, and being called a good boy or as a good parliamentarian he should have been first and foremost interested in representing and protecting his constituents?
His very constituents are being butchered daily and he has not been able to offer them justice. After raising the expectation of the latest victims in his constituency by summoning the security ministers to account, he has abandoned them yet again.
Was Wani's sudden appointment a sabotage to ensure that the perpetrators of these heinous double murders are left at large?
If Wani was more interested serving his people, then he should have remained in the Assembly to exercise the Constitutional mandate to hold the executive to account and especially to impeach the President over the many violations of our Constitution.
If however what he wants is being a yes man and to entertain the increasingly paranoid president with his famous song: baba ja…..blah blah blah, baba ja blah blah (my father has come….) then indeed being a deputy is what he deserves.
It must be said, moving from the third most powerful position in the country to the second most powerful position is not bad at all, it is a personal best for a man from humble beginnings. Good luck to comrade Wani.
No one would have taken Wani's claim to contest for presidency in 2015 seriously and it is good that he has now declared otherwise. Wani Igga, it must be stated, is an individual who may represent the SPLM but does not represent Equatoria.
It is also important to read between the lines about Kiir's malicious intention to divide the Southern people according to tribes or regions. There should be no ill feelings from our allies over the case of Wani.
It will be an over statement to assume that just because Wani Igga accepted the vice –presidency, reportedly rejected by Nuer nominees allegedly in solidarity with their dismissed kinsman, Riek Machar.
Wani's acceptance of the rejected offer doesn't automatically mean that Equatorians now all support Salva Kiir. That would be a gross overstatement. Equatorians are not just worth a vice-presidential position.
Infact accepting what has been rejected by others means that Wani was not the first or trusted choice of the President. This alone speaks volumes, but it is best to leave the matter to rest.
Not yet Uhuru
What we now need to focus on is to ensure that Salva Kiir is punished for his irresponsible leadership of our country over the last 8 years. Over the last 8 years, the SPLM government he presided over, did not only fail to deliver peace dividends in the forms of services, security and general development.
The SPLM government under the careful watch of the security officer turned president, has introduced new vices in our society. It will be fair to say that more people have died in the hands of the SPLM government than they did in the hands of jallaba at least in some quarters.
Places that didn't know violence before are today routinely being rocked by senseless killings as if there is no government in the land. Speculations that these atrocities were being committed by security agents fell on deaf ears.
Kiir may come from a generation in South Sudan who believed that when you come from a so-called majority tribe then you are immune to safe guards of modern democracy.
In the theory of number politics, as long as you are from a majority tribe, you will always win, so unlike in Western democracies, you have no incentives to govern well.
Kiir has destroyed our institutions; he has destroyed our beloved federal constitution; he is destroying even the SPLM party. Quite astonishingly he is disabling our assemblies rendering them in effective. The good news is that this time there is no boat to rock, therefore we must stop Kiir and get things right come the next elections.
The war of liberation was fought by all communities in the territory called South Sudan not just Kiir alone. From the war archives of south Sudan we still need to see those battles Kiir led and won to justify elevating himself to the position of a hereditary monarch.
What we know is that he was a malleable follower who never had the courage to articulate his views on critical matters. At least late Dr. John Garang might not have won any battles but he did fight the war of ideas rather successfully.
These individuals and communities Kiir is oppressing and suppressing today have all sacrificed through blood and sweat for the freedom that we attained in July, 2011 which we are supposed to be enjoying today.
With good governance, there is enough land and natural resources for every South Sudanese now and in the future. We do not need to fight over land because every community in South Sudan has their ancestral land which government has no right to confiscate.
We do not need to fight over who should lead us because we have democratic processes to determine that, and it must be emphasized that the Constitution guarantees every southerner the right to compete for the highest office in the land.
National leadership is not for Dinka or Nuer alone. Every southerner from any community can aspire to become the president of this country if he/she has the ability and ambition to lead. It is not a crime to aspire for leadership position in your country specially that presumably no one is now a second class citizen in their own country.
Therefore it stands to reason that we should stop demonising those aspiring to contest for President, whether they are Lam Akol or Riek Machar or anybody else for that matter.
Leadership Attributes
But we need to be careful about our choice of leaders. We need leaders who though not necessarily PhD holders but must have sufficient education to comprehend and appreciate the complexities of today's world and should be able to function autonomously in advanced technological era without always relying on advice of tribal mafia to the detriment of the nation.
We need leaders who can think with their heads and hearts and who can empathize with or feel the suffering of their people.
We need leaders who will promote equal opportunities for all and not practice indiscriminate tribalism or nepotism.
We do not want leaders who routinely allow or encourage guns to be turned against their citizens instead of using them to protect us and our borders.
We reject leaders who divide communities for political advantages or to square off old scores, whether this happened in 1991 or not.
If the history of the liberation war was clean I am sure the meticulous Dr. John Garang would have insisted on a whole set of Protocols on forgiveness and reconciliation. He didn't which means no one was clean in the theatre of war. And this must include the late doctor, Salva Kiir, his former VP and other commanders.
History should not be remembered just to target individuals we do not like or wish are dead. The last 8 years has provided us with enough data to discern who is a good leader and who is not. This is what we should now focus on and not some tribally coated witch–hunting.
To conclude on this piece, Kiir has allowed atrocities to grow unabated in our land. He continues to violate even the Transitional Constitution 2011, which he imposed on us against our will.
Kiir is the champion of unprecedented institutional tribalism, not to mention kleptocracy with impunity. Under Kiirs leadership South Sudan has gained the reputation of a failed state and is also officially one of the corrupt countries on the continent.
He is on record for creating the fastest police state the continent has ever witnessed. This man is destroying the very foundation upon which our nation should be built, what further evidence do we want?
The gallant peoples of South Sudan fought wars with oppressors and colonisers spanning over a hundred years, starting with the Turco-Egyptians, then the Anglo Egyptians and finally the Northern Arabs. They had little or no education education and little weapons but fought with spears and arrows against machine guns but did not capitulate.
It is often said that no one can oppress you without your consent; even battered housewives have the choice to walk away.
It is now our responsibility as autonomous thinking human beings to stop Salva Kiir from damaging our country further and from destroying our dreams and expectations of a free, democratic, and prosperous country for all to enjoy not just a select few.
We owe it to ourselves, our children and grand children and the future generations at large. We owe it to the many who are aggrieved and denied justice. It is our responsibility to leave South Sudan a better place than we had found it not worse.
So that the dear sacrifices we have all made in blood, tears and sweat shall not go in vain. Because as Odinga Oginga, would have put it, for many people in South Sudan today, it is not yet Uhuru.

When I was growing up, the range that everyone used to use was Alberto VO5. The crunchy mousse? The gel that was like translucent green jelly in a giant tub? I had it.
my mum used to buy and I would nick them to treat me hair even though, in it's virgin state, my hair was naturally healthy and shiny.
I recently had my hair lightened so was told to get lots of treatments on it – surprisingly VO5 was highly recommended to me. I didn't even know that stuff was still around!
I stomped into Boots and bought three VO5 products, it was 3 for 2. I got their VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Moisture Soak which looked interesting – this doesn't need preheating and takes just a minute to work:
It's used before shampooing – you use the guide on the side to determine how much to pump (so there's 5 applications in the bottle. It's pretty much the same as the individual tubes – I guess you get a bit more for £3.99).
So I used this – I like how easy it is to use, I don't have time for conditioners you use and leave in your hair for 15 minutes (showers are cold places) and yeah, my hair felt better – but just marginally. I think I like the individuals better!
Nevertheless I like how easy this is – my hair was better for using it than not but I am sure a lot of that is cosmetic as opposed to any real deep repair work going on…
The individuals have 4 tubes inside, and you drop these into a bit of hot water so it warms up then leave on for a few minutes before showering. I used to adore this stuff so much! They work out about £1.25 each.
I used this a few times and once again it does make a good difference to my hair. It feels stronger and softer in general although I still need to use conditioner on my straw like hair.
This product makes a nice change to the usual thick cream intensive conditioners – having said that you can also use Olive Oil or Sesame Oil or Coconut Oil (my favourite!) as an intensive treatment too but it's messier and needs to be left in the hair for longer so there VO5 Hot Oil is definitely good for when you don't have the time or inclination.
Verdict: Still a great product!

Mass HGH (90 capsules)
*Note: I ran Mass HGH in conjunction with Testodrol X9 also from Lecheek. The final review is from that stack.
I didn't really change the dosing around at any point during this run from the recommendations. The only timing related change was how long before bed I took the Mass HGH. I wish I could comment about the effects of Mass HGH on putting me to sleep but I'm extremely strange in this regard....I fall asleep very quickly all the time! Just lucky there I guess. Where I'm unlucky is I'm horrible when waking up. I hate getting out of bed, I'm groggy, want to fall back asleep and generally nasty for the first hour or so of being up. Although it's hard to say exactly what product is doing what when running multiple things for a company I attribute and assume Mass HGH is responsible for me waking up so refreshed. Quite frankly with the exception of maybe one or two days this combo had me bouncing out of bed. I don't know if I was in a deeper more refreshing sleep and that's why I woke up feeling like Christmas, but I can tell you it was great! A little over midway through the log I decided to order another bottle (since have done one more, stupid Nutraplanet sales) of Mass HGH because of this effect alone!
Another area I think the product shines is in regards to recovery. For a lot of the log I was working with very high reps and sets. Definitely some damage causing workouts! Much more than usual in fact. I really think this combo kept the DOMS at bay and had me raring to get back in the gym. General aggression and strength seemed higher, probably a result of the Testodrol X9's effects on boosting testosterone. Didn't notice much in the oily skin department which a lot of people look for with test booster's, but I usually don't get real oily anyways. Libido was strong throughout the entire run, probably a little better than the normal raring to go!
So what were some of my results: Well my goal was to lean down and I've definitely done that dropping a few pounds. I think I look leaner, but very full. My girlfriend has some "after" pictures on her camera snapped a few days ago that will be posted once she returns (didn't get them off her camera before her family vacation!)
As some final thoughts I would say that I was extremely pleased with my run of these two products. One of the drawbacks of running more than one product is trying to figure out what does what or what is having which effect when looking to recommended to other users. I have no hesitation recommending people to give this combination a run. As I have a few bottles of Mass HGH it will be interesting to see the effects from that product alone. I do think Lecheek has two solid products in this category and frankly have what's looking like a nice line right now.
massHGH: 10/10 - by far the best supplement of it's kind. 30-60 mins after taking my dose I'm out like a light and wake far less frequently during the night. I also feel like my sleep is much deeper and more refreshing. I would recommend this to anyone and will continue to use it myself for sure!
Big thanks to the guys at Lecheek for letting me run two bottles of their entire stack .
Cut right to the chase.
dosing 9
Very simple its pills so they easy to swallow, take 2-3 pills before bed.
The stack I had.
speed x3 , Tx9 ,and AD3.
I had took Tx9 and speed x3 before so I know what to expect from those.
Effectiveness 9- 10 ( 2 PARTS )
This stuff gave me great recovery and great sleep every time. I do think by month 2 the effects was not as strong as the first 3- 5 weeks. I did not get insane spooky dreams like I have from just a simple ZMA product. But I was able to work hard at the gym every time due to the recovery from this.
( HUMAN GROWTH and STRENGTH )
I did grow and bulk very well on this. I was gaining weight. Not the leanest I would have liked but I did grow, shoulders and back the most, All the while setting PR's so I know it was not just me eating poorly. I was gaining muscle. I did however loose the leaner look I was once holding but I will blame that on my diet. I was able to break some very personal records for myself while on this so that needs to be noted.
Value 8-9
You can get this all the time for around 25 bucks and I have seen it for as low as 18 on some sites. I do think you should run this at least 2 bottles to get the most from it.
Great for recovery and sleep, Great for bulking , just watch the diet.
I wanna thank Marms and the rest of the Lecheek family for giving me the opportunity to run this product. I have to say it is the best HGH product I have used and this is why! The first few days didn't really notice much at all. I always pass out fine and sleep like a baby but always wake up groggy. With this product within the first week I noticed waking up a lot more alert and rested. Even with only a few hours of sleep I felt great. As time moved on I noticed an increase in recovery which is a huge plus. Strength has been holding after coming off cycle as well. Around the 3rd week there was a few days where I got restless. Couldn't tell you if it was the product or not but it passed and my sleep quality went back to being amazing. I like this product a lot and will be purchasing more! Thank you!Purus Labs Anabolic Titan/Rep

Lol yea yea! That's the second time hahaPurus Labs Anabolic Titan/Rep
Coach AB @ BossBody.net
Ok,so first off I want to say thanks to Matty and Lecheek for the opportunity to log/review MassHGH.I have only ever tried one similar product and to be honest did not expect much based on my past experience,man was I wrong and it was a fun product!
Dosing was as easy as could be,take 3 caps before bed,none of the empty stomach or with food stuff to worry about.I cant comment on taste as it was capsules,but I did not have any nasty burps or bad taste after swallowing.
The first couple of weeks after I started taking Mass HGH,I had some extreme acne breakouts,which went away by the end of the bottle.I also had some very wierd cravings while using this,one of which was milk,and another being cream cheese!I do feel like the effects started to wear off towards the end of the bottle,I would love to try 2 bottles in the future to see how it compares.
Wow,thats the best way I know how to start this,Mass HGH delivered in so many ways I never expected it to.The most noticeable and enjoyeable effect had to be the sleep.I slept amazing while using this product,every single night from the first dose to the last.I did not just sleep well,but no matter how little sleep I recieved I woke up feeling well rested and ready to go,and there were a few nights I only got 3-4 hours of sleep.The next thing that was a big plus for me was the increased recovery,which I am sure plays into the better sleep,but I was going hard in the gym almost daily,hitting the weights 5-6 times a week and was hardly ever sore the next day,also DOMS was almost non-existent.I started to notice myself staring in the mirror a lot more when getting ready,and quickly came to notice that upon waking up in the morning I was looking like I just walked out of the gym fully pumped.I seemed to be feeling somewhat pumped throughout the day and muscle density was up as well.I did notice a very good increase in vascularity,I had veins in my lower abdomen and upper legs that I rarely ever see,and they were there all day!I did hit a few PR's while on Mass HGH,I can not fully attribute it to the product,but at times I was just a total beast and I was on a stim break while using this so that really surprised me.A few things that were not as extreme,but are worth noting is I seemed to have a heightened libido,and was in a better overall mood throughout the day.I also want to note that at no point after dosing did I actually feel tired or groggy,a few times I didnt get right to bed as planned and it did not bring me down,but when I did lie down and close my eyes that was it.I normally wake up multiple times throughout the night if for nothing else to go pee,I rarely ever even woke up to pee.
This is one thing about the product I would like to see changed,but I think thats the case with any product we see.The price is not terrible,but I do feel could be more reasonable.It can be found here at NP for $34.95,which I can say is not bad for all the benefits I recieved from it,but there are some more competitive priced products that *claim* to offer the same thing.I have seen it on sale and as part of some deals in the past,so at any point I see it reduced I will grab what I can.
I was extremely impressed with Mass HGH.I stated above I have only ever used 1 product that is in the HGH category,and did not expect much from this aside from better sleep.I was proven wrong and even the sleep I did expect was much better than I imagined it would be.This product had minimal sides and plenty of positive effects,I will be running this again in the future and trying it with 2 bottles back to back.I would recommend this to someone looking into HGH type products or needing help with sleep and recovery.My whole outlook has been changed of HGH products based on my experience with Mass HGH.
Mass HGH (90 capsules)
I ran Lecheeck's Mass HGH as part of a recent very successful pct. The thing I liked most was how well I slept while on it, and not just a regular sleep. I slept very deeply. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. My recovery time seemed to be much better as well. I was able to keep my size and much of my strength. I would recommend Mass HGH to anyone looking to keep or pack on muscle.Life's a garden, dig it
Lecheek Nutritions MassHGH is a highly effective product that functions on multiple levels to improve results. It is one of those rare products you can actually FEEL working!
Lecheek defines MassHGH on their website as The first product ever developed that addresses every physiological mechanism associated with hypertrophy While the ingredient profile does lend itself in this direction based on the research associated with each component, it can be hard for a user to say for certain what is and isnt working. This product does have some consistent effects that I think clearly show it IS working.
Formula Overview
Each 3 capsules of MassHGH contains 2,300mg of the following proprietary MassHGH Blend:
Chlorophytum Borivilianum
Velvet Bean
4-aminobutanic acid
Centella Asiatica
Glycyrrhiza Glabra
Catharanthus Rosus
Valarian Root
Withania Somnifera
I wont break down each ingredient here however, I encourage you to research the various components to learn more if youre inclined to see how MassHGH is able to be so effective.
Dosing is very simple one 3 capsule serving 30-60mins prior to bed
Theres no other way to put it other than this stuff works. One of the most prominent effects one should feel from MassHGH is the sleep aid aspect. I normally have trouble getting a good nights sleep and have tried numerous sleep aids (Controlled Labs REDuctionPM, NoxitropinPM, Nocturnabol, etc) and have to say that MassHGH has trumped everything Ive tried so far. The consistency I experienced with quality sleep was top notch.
The second strongest and consistent effect I had from this was associated with increased testosterone. In the spirit of full disclosure, I was stacking this with a testosterone booster (PES AnaBeta Elite) and an Aromatase Inhibitor (PES Erase Pro) but what I experienced seemed to be more tied to my bodys circadian rhythms fostered by the quality sleep I was getting. Every morning I would wake up with consistent morning wood. Ive found that at 39 years old this isnt always the case but when MassHGH was added to the repertoire, it certainly was!
The third strongest and most noticeable effect I experienced was more prominent vascularity upon waking. Since my diet at the time of taking this was more in line with maintaining and recomping, I felt this was attributable to MassHGH since I wasnt stripping fat off.
I experienced no negative side effects that I would attribute to this product. Also, my recovery seemed to improve because of the quality of sleep I was getting. Not necessarily quantity, because there were several nights where I got very little sleep, but I was still able to wake up refreshed and WITHOUT a sleep hangover. This is absolutely key for me because many products Ive tried will leave me groggy for hours the following day which is unacceptable in my world.
This isnt the cheapest product out there - when compared to other sleep aids but its not just another sleep aid. MassHGH excels in this area but for me, it did a lot more as well. For around $30 you can get yourself a solid 30 nights worth of quality sleep and a kick in the old testosterone to boot. Like anything else, we all want to pay for quality and results and Lecheek provides just that. I look at MassHGH as being a product I will cycle into my supplementation multiple times throughout the year. I think its good to take a break from various types of products during the year, but I can honestly say that when the last few capsules poured out into my hand I was already convincing myself that I should be taking this year round. Personally, I plan to use MassHGH a minimum of one month per quarter.
The only reason why this isnt getting a 10 from me is because I was stacking it with other products that may have contributed to some of the positive effects and there were a few nights where I didnt stay asleep all night long. I know, Im a harsh critic, but believe me, you wont be disappointed.
I dosed Mass HGH 30-45 minutes pre-bed every night for 30 days. I LOVED the dreams on this stuff. This helped me fall asleep and to stay asleep. I normally have to take Benadryl and/or melatonin for sleep, I really didn't need it for this.
I took this with Ripped Cocktail and HyperT2 as a cut stack, and it ended up being a solid recomp. I cut BF% and Gained some lean body mass. In 30 days I lost 10 pounds, look bigger (muscles) and my pants fit more loosely.
I will definitely be using this product with Ripped Cocktail and Hyper T2 for EVERY SINGLE CUT or recomp in the future.
Thanks Lecheek!
I just finished a thirty day cycle of Mass HGH and TX-3. Sleep has been AMAZING. I fall right to sleep every night and sleep throughout the night. I have been recovering faster than usual from my workouts which has been awesome I get to workout more. I would highly recommend this product.
I had shoulder surgery a little over a year ago and started working out again about last April. I was unable to recover from anything and would always be sore it seemed like. Didn't matter what I did. I tried upping protein, creatine, working out every other day, stretching, etc. I bought this from the Black Friday sale and I am sure glad I did. Main thing I was looking for was recovery. Awesome. I am sore at times, but recover quickly. I even up my leg workouts. Sleep was also very good. Slept right through the night and woke up feeling fresh except for the first couple days. It usually takes me a couple days to get use to a product like this. My strength also has increased. Not a ton, but it did enough for me to notice in my journal. I have tried 2 other products like this but this is my favorite. Its way cheaper than the other 2 products I have tried like this as well.
The downside to this product is that I was always hungry. I stacked it with OxyBlack and Hyper T2. I took OxyBlack around 11 and T2 around 7am and 6pm. Then took MassHGH around 10-11pm. I could just eat and eat if I wanted to. I got stronger every week and did not gain any weight so I was happy about that. I am still taking it, but only for another week then I will stop and that will by my 45 days.
marms hooked me up with some Mass HGH late last year and I am finally getting to the review.
In short, I enjoyed Mass HGH. What I liked about it was that I got some nice, deep, restful sleep. I also liked that I could eat food with some calcium in it, which is a nice bonus.
Each morning I felt stronger and looked leaner. It would not take long for this stuff to kick in. Although, I think I build up a slight tolerance on those final days.
All in all, if you want a quality GH supp, that will get you some quality sleep to repair your body, run Mass HGH!
In retrospect, this supplement did a lot more for me then I expected. I was able to eat basically junk most of the cycle (thanks to the holidays...) and only gained about 1lb. I didn't even think about the improved body comp that could occur from this so as I reflect on it I am very pleasantly surprised. Mass HGH was effective from the first dose and continued throughout the cycle.
- First dose effectiveness
- Vivid dreams
- Nutrient partitioning/increased insulin sensitivity (as referenced by terrible diet with minimal to no weight gain - aka "dirty recomp" ha)
- Increased recovery (as referenced by less DOMS after most heavy days and if there were, reduced time before they were gone)
- Deep sleep (woke up less and fell back to sleep easier)
- Easy dosing (just take before bed)
- Morning grogginess/ trouble getting out of bed if not enough sleep
Overall, this was a big winner for me with the exception of the morning grogginess on days that I had to be up early (ie - work days ha). Luckily much of this cycle was over my holiday break so this was not a big issue but I could see it being in future cycles. The sleep that I got was amazing in both depth, dreams, and recovery. I would highly recommend this supplement for anyone looking for the benefits proposed. Again, it does what it says.
I am on my second bottle now both ordered from the Strong Supplement Shop, whatevers in the formula i noticed early on that it works in maintaining my weight and somehow at the same time increasing my muscle size, off course there is the added benefits of refreshing sleep as i take a couple a caps close to bed time
For my second bottle i am running it with Endosurge Turbo and the combo is brilliant as the ET enhances the effects of the Mass HGH and keeps me revving in top gear by recovering really fast after workouts not forgetting excellent libido and waking up more often with a solid hard wood.
Loved taking this product. 30-60 minutes before bedtime. Sense of well being, and waking up feeling good, and looking good in the mirror after waking up from taking this. Best HGH product on the market right now in my opinion. Always a fan of Lecheek's products personally.
I keep a jar of this stuff handy. I first tried it to see if I could have any luck with the growth hormone increase it claims. What I found out it does is give me restful sleep without too much groggyness. As long as I was able to get 7-8 hours of sleep I would wake up feeling rejuvenated. Less sore by upto 25% on leg days.
It was especially helpful to set off the energy drinks I would take too late in the evening (past9PM).
I did a Mass HGH run. Finishing up w/ AD3-PCT. mild results. Really think I can attest most of it to diet/training/rest. Anybody care to disagree?

Electronic health record (EHR) software—also often referred to as electronic medical record (EMR) software—addresses many of the same concerns for nephrologists as it does for practitioners in any medical specialty. Broadly speaking, this software will automate repetitive tasks, streamline documentation, improve access to information, enable more accurate and profitable coding and foster efficiency.
But nephrologists have some unique needs they'll want their software to address, as well. We've created this guide to help you evaluate software to find an ideal fit for your practice.
Common Features of Nephrology Software
Benefits of Nephrology Software
Important Considerations
The following features are those that nephrologists commonly cite as most helpful in medical software:
|Lab integration
|Receiving, reviewing and sharing lab results is critical for nephrologists. Some EHR systems integrate with laboratories and/or support alerts for abnormal lab values.
|Nephrology CPT & ICD coding
|Your software solution should be able to reference current CPT and ICD code sets for nephrology. Many systems allow you to identify "favorite" codes that you use frequently so they can be called up quickly, and some even suggest codes automatically.
|Nephrology-specific templates
|Many software solutions will offer templates specific to the nephrology specialty, such as note templates for CKD, Dysuria, Flank Pain, Hematuria, Renal Failures and others. These templates are designed to make documenting the types of visits you conduct most frequently more efficient.
|Sophisticated scheduling
|Nephrology practices tend to need the ability to access and create appointments based on their own office calendar as well as dialysis center calendars. Many scheduling systems offer this level of visibility.
|Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
|Some EHR software offers a PACS feature, which will manage the storage, retrieval, distribution and presentation of MRIs, CTs and other patient images.
Not all nephrology EHR software will include all of these features, and some features may be supported to varying degrees in various products. Further, you may place higher importance on some features than others. Be sure to identify the features that are most critical to your practice's operations, and evaluate software that supports them.
Implementing a new EMR with nephrology-specific features can help your practice reap a great deal of benefits, such as:
Aside from the functionality mentioned above, there are a few other things to keep in mind as you evaluate software solutions.
What applications do you need? Do you only need an EHR? Or will you need applications for medical billing and/or appointment scheduling, as well? If you're only looking for a single application, that application will be known as a "standalone" or "best-of-breed" solution. If you're looking for one system that includes multiple applications (e.g., EHR, billing and scheduling all in one), that is what's known as an "integrated suite."
Most nephrologists we talk to are seeking an integrated suite, with one major exception: if you currently outsource billing and don't plan to bring that function back in house, you probably won't need a billing application. However, you may still want to evaluate integrated EHR and scheduling offerings.
What type of deployment do you prefer? "Deployment" refers to where the software is "hosted," meaning where it lives. If the software is installed on your own office's servers, it is an "on-premise" system. Alternatively, the software can be hosted online (in the cloud), meaning it can be accessed via an Internet browser on any device with an Internet connection. This type of deployment is known as "Web-based" or "cloud-based"—it's also synonymous with software-as-a-service (SaaS). (To learn more about Web-based systems, check out our Web-based EMR buyer's guide.)
On-premise systems usually entail larger upfront costs in the form of software licenses and hardware. Web-based systems, on the other hand, usually have a lower monthly subscription fee instead of a single, upfront license fee. However, the costs of the systems tend to diverge over the life of the software—check out our Total Cost of Ownership calculator to see how this often works.
Practices that prefer on-premise systems typically want the control of running the software on-site through an internal IT team. Practices that prefer Web-based systems generally like the flexibility of being able to access the software through any Internet connection, as well as the ease of automatic upgrades, which are typically "pushed" out to users without requiring downtime for installation. Some practices have no preference, and many vendors offer multiple modes of deployment.
Will you require mobile support? If you or users in your practice will want to be able to access your nephrology EMR software via a smartphone or tablet, you'll want to make sure the vendor you select offers mobile support. This may be especially useful for nephrologists conducting dialysis rounds who wish to access charts on the go.
Keep in mind that while Web-based systems typically offer the ability to access the software through any Internet browser, you'll still want to confirm that the vendor offers a "native" mobile app—that is, an interface designed specifically for use on a smaller screen, such as a tablet or smartphone. Take a look at our tablet EMR guide for more information on available tablet options.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Task order includes biometrics collection
Computer Sciences Corp. will help secure the U.S.-Mexico border as a result of a new six-year State Department task order that has an estimated value of $115 million.
The award from State's Bureau of Consular Affairs calls for CSC to provide non-immigrant visa support services in Mexico, the company announced today.
Under the terms of the task order, CSC will provide non-immigrant visa support services, including information, appointments, fee collection, document delivery, greeter and offsite biometric collection in Mexico.
Non-immigrant visas are for citizens of other countries coming into the United States temporarily; immigrant visas are for those seeking to move permanently to the U.S., the statement explained.
The task order was awarded under the Global Support Strategy for Overseas Consular Services contract, an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract CSC won in March 2010.
CSC said it plans to continue to compete for task orders around the world to provide a range of visa-related support services for U.S. embassies and consulates.
CSC, of Falls Church, Va., ranks No. 10 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

Massachusetts General Hospital Launches Online National Emergency Room Locator
EDMaps.org connects patients with the most accurate ER info in the U.S
BOSTON—Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Emergency Medicine Network (EMNet) today announced the launch of EDMaps.org, a national emergency room locator which provides the most accurate and up-to-date information on emergency departments in the United States. Presented in a user-friendly map format powered by Google Maps, the website allows visitors to quickly find nearly 5,000 emergency rooms for which it maintains a central repository of accurate information.
EDmaps.org is an ideal travel tool for people who suffer from chronic medical conditions. "EDMaps.org was designed with the public in mind," says Carlos A. Camargo, MD, of MGH's Department of Emergency Medicine and EMNet director. "Traveling with companions who suffer from chronic disease can be extremely challenging, but we hope this new tool will help ease anxiety by helping people to plan ahead in case someone experiences a health emergency while traveling."
For individuals living with health issues like food allergy or heart conditions, the difference between life and death often can be a matter of minutes, and finding emergency care as quickly as possible is crucial.
Along with launching EDMaps.org, EMNet researchers released version 3.0 of its popular EMNet findER™, a free smartphone app that directs users to the closest ER in the event of a health emergency. Originally released for the iPhone, EMNet findER is also available for Android phones. Version 3.0 allows users to search for emergency rooms anywhere in the U.S. (for example, by city, state, or ZIP code). Since its release in June 2010, findER™ has been downloaded by thousands of users.
"Our team works long hours to maintain the integrity of these data," says Camargo. "It's gratifying to know that our efforts can help people by creating web and mobile-based tools that have the potential to save lives."
Massachusetts General Hospital, founded in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $750 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, reproductive biology, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine. In July 2012, MGH moved into the number one spot on the 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report list of "America's Best Hospitals."

Lyst it
all pieces filed under Lyst
I've been using Lyst to file pieces I'm coveting--it's almost like a Pinterest, but for shopping (and it's good for when something goes on sale!). The search engine works seamlessly with filters and makes deducing which piece to "Lyst" so much easier. Although I'll probably lust after these pieces forever, it's aesthetically pleasing to see them all collectively populate my profile page. And, of course my eyes are wandering towards black and white pieces--a sure sign that I'm way, way over summer. These suede boots (perfection!) WILL be mine, some how, some way, sometime this fall/winter. They're imagined to go with just about everything...

This is a cinematic score piece full of ironic melancholy and tongue-in-cheek sadness. I've taken what could have been a typical emotional music cue and with the wink of an eye added a feel of playfulness in the orchestration. Chimes, dulcimer & accordion rein in the gloomy violin and classical gut-string guitar lines and pull us into the land of quirky sorrow. Perfect for film & TV projects requiring an orchestral music score, but would benefit from a unique ironic twist. Also included is a separate button ending that reprises the theme, but brings in some traditional orchestral strings that can help tie this cue into a project that might feature more traditional orchestration in other cues.

Drug therapy is an important part of treatment for many pituitary disorders.
Patients who have surgery or radiation for pituitary disorders need to be monitored to make sure that the main disorder is controlled as well as seeing that their endocrine function is not declining slowly. Initially, this evaluation should be done three months, then six months and then a year after surgery and annually thereafter.

Wayne Rooney believes playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo was an 'education', and admits to being upset when the Portuguese star swapped Old Trafford for the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo and Rooney joined Manchester United only a year apart, with the former signing for the club in the summer 2003 and the latter completing a move the following season.
In the four years they spent together at the club, the forward duo formed a formidable understanding as United won three league titles and lifted the Champions League in May 2008.
But, a year later, Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid in a record-breaking £80 million deal, and Rooney was forced to carry United's goalscoring burden.
And, says the England striker, he learned so much from Ronaldo, and has been impressed to see the 26-year-old hit even greater personal heights in Madrid.
"It was thrilling and an education to play alongside him," said Rooney.
"I was perhaps a little (upset) when he left, but I was also happy for him because he wanted to have other experiences: 87 goals in 80 games with Real Madrid seem like a good enough explanation to me, no?"

Tayshaun Prince made the game-winning shots from the free throw line. His work in the low post set it up.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) ? Tayshaun Prince made the game-winning shots from the free throw line. His work in the low post set it up.
Prince made two free throws with 10.9 seconds left to give Detroit a 96-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night after the Pistons blew a 14-point lead.
Prince, who led Detroit with 20 points, did much of his damage down low and that's where he was when Luc Mbah a Moute fouled the veteran small forward to send him to the free throw line with the opportunity to win the game.
"I just had a real good rhythm down there tonight," Prince said. "And they kept looking for me."
Greg Monroe added 14 points and 10 rebounds for Detroit, which had five players in double figures. Charlie Villanueva and Brandon Knight scored 11 apiece, while Jason Maxiell had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Prince's impact, however, went beyond the numbers.
"Just his presence out there helps us," Knight said. "He's a big-time player and he's been in those situations so many times."
Monta Ellis had 30 points and nine assists, and Erson Ilyasova scored 24 for the Bucks.
"It seemed like they were getting whatever they wanted," Milwaukee's Mike Dunleavy said. "And I just thought our offensive rhythm was terrible to start the game. Finally we got some stuff going, but we didn't start well."
Both teams were coming off wins over the defending NBA champions. Detroit beat Miami 109-99 in Auburn Hills on Friday night, and the Bucks beat the Heat 104-85 in Milwaukee one night later.
Ellis hit a fallaway baseline jumper with 1:06 left, after almost losing the ball out of bounds, to give the Bucks their first lead, 94-92. But Prince's hook shot tied the score with 50.5 seconds remaining. Ellis missed a jumper with 31.9 seconds to go and Maxiell got the rebound. Following a timeout, Mbah a Moute fouled Prince, who stepped to the line and produced the game-winning points.
Ilyasova's 3-pointer with 1:43 left tied it at 92 to complete the comeback from a 14-point deficit.
Detroit led 78-71 going into the fourth quarter after leading 72-58 on Monroe's jumper with 4:14 left in the third.
The Pistons jumped out to an early 13-0 lead, holding the Bucks scoreless until 8:07 remained in the first quarter when Ellis made a driving layup. Milwaukee battled back to 19-17 on Ellis' two free throws with 4:03 left in the first and 21-19 with 3:02 remaining on a driving layup by Ellis.
Detroit then outscored Milwaukee 9-4 over the remainder of the quarter for a 30-23 lead after one. The Pistons led 55-45 at halftime after leading by as many as 14 twice during the second quarter.
Detroit made 57 percent of its shots and had 36 points in the paint in the first half.
"It was more than a bad start, it was a bad 3� quarters," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles said. "They outplayed us except for maybe six to eight minutes the whole game."
NOTES: Sunday was the 22nd anniversary of Skiles setting the NBA record of 30 assists in a game for the Orlando Magic. "The game is different now. It would be hard for someone to do it," he said. "Our team at that time wasn't that good, so it was an individual thing." ... Detroit G Rodney Stuckey didn't play because of a left ankle sprain. ... Sheila E. performed at halftime. ... Mbah a Moute left early in the first quarter with a cut on his lip. He received three stitches and returned late in the period.

Today, the estate comprises 40 acres of vineyards planted principally with Riesling. Over 15 acres of S.A. Prüm's holdings are located within the famed Wehlener Sonnenuhr ("sundial of Wehlen") domain. Named for the historic and well-recognized sundial painted on an outcrop of slate by a Prüm ancestor back in 1842, the incredibly steep Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is a globally renowned source of what is arguably Germany's finest Riesling. As the name suggests, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, where vines average 80 years and older, benefits from plentiful sunshine – a critical factor in the world's northernmost wine producing country. The soil is comprised of layers of finely decomposed, mineral-rich blue slate that date back approximately 400 million years. Underneath, deep-lying aquifers provide the vines with adequate water during dry periods.
