Indio Three Strikes Law Attorney
Under the provisions of California's "three strikes" statues, a person convicted for a felony for a third time faces possible life imprisonment. The law was passed in 1994 by voters who were led to believe that a person convicted of three crimes can't be rehabilitated and should therefore be removed from society. This law has led to many good people facing life imprisonment for crimes as minor as writing a bad check.
At Dolan Law Offices we know how seriously you need to defend yourself when charged with a crime that is part of the "three strikes" law. As a California Bar Certified Indio three strikes law attorney, who has received the AV rating under Martindale Hubbell's peer review rating system, criminal defense attorney John Patrick Dolan has seen the devastating effects that the "three strikes" law has on individuals and families.
John P. Dolan does everything possible to have criminal charges dismissed or reduced to a non-three strikes offense. Too many good, productive people who made the mistake of pleading guilty to a minor offense early in their lives now face the possibility of life imprisonment because of another mistake. The "three strikes" law is one reason we work so hard to defend people who have been charged with a first offense such as:
- Sex Crimes
- Arson
- Robbery
- Murder/Manslaughter
- Felony Drug Offenses
- And Other Felony Crimes
We guarantee to fight for the best possible outcome for your three strikes charges.

How are you?:)x
So I decided to make a little post (before making my normal one) to let you know what's going on right now! I was really surprised to find out that GFC (Google Friends Connect) is actually shutting down on July 1st (here), because they weren't as successful as they'd like (wait, what? All bloggers are using GFC, how can't it be successful?).
I would really appreciated if evryone who really enjoys my blog (or already had followed me through GFC) to follow me via Bloglovin'. I have already followed the blogs that I like through Bloglovin. It is really shame to lose all the news from the blogs that you are following due to the cancelation of GFC. All bloggers should make sure that they have registered their blog on Bloglovin', to make everything easier:)
What's more? As you can see I have added 4 little tabs on the right side of my blog.
Follow me on Twitter:)
Follow me on Google+:)
Follow me on Bloglovin':)
Follow me on Instagram:)
Now let me explain a little more abou Bloglovin' (I had it a little mistaken on my mind as well). Bloglovin' is an online social network which allows you to follow all the blogs you like, and making your reading easier! First of all is a super easy way to proote your blog as it will be found easier than from any other network (just register, and click the "add blog" tab and you're ready!).
All the new posts (from the blogs you are following) will appear in the same window and you can easily access them by simply clicking on them. The ones you have already read will be eliminated from that window (but you can easily access them again by clicking on the blog's name at the left side of your screen). What's even better you will get notified by email each time there are new blog post by the ones you are following (you can change that to one email a day - including all the news, or to no emails at all through the settings!).
There is now also an Iphone and an Android app free to download. I have already tried both of them and they are super easy to use!
As finding blogs have been really difficult, Bloglovin' ensures that it's NOT. By clicking on "Top Blogs" you can the choose categories or countries, so that you can find every blog that fits your choices.
Some screenshots from my iPhone Bloglovin' app:
Hope this post helped, not only the ones that want to find more blogs but also those who have a blog but haven't already registered on Bloglovin. It's a "must" to start letting your followers know that they will no longer be able to connect with you via GFC from July 1st and making sure that you will not lose the ones you are following!x

VICTORIA NICHOLS-JOHNSON, M.D. from BREASTFEEDING ABSTRACTS, November 2001, Volume 21, Number 2, pp. 11-12.
Women's postpartum contractive choices depend on many factors. These may include previous experience with contraceptives, future childbearing plans, husband's or partner's attitude, and the woman's lactation status. Many practitioners find that effective contraceptive use is dependent on the mother's comfort level with her choice. Ideally, contraception, like breastfeeding, is discussed with patients during the prenatal visits. In this way the patient and her partner have time to consider their options and decide what is best for them.
Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
The most common myth surrounding the use of contraception in lactating women is that lactation alone cannot be depended on to prevent pregnancy. The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) has been found to be better than 98 percent effective.(1) It has been used in a wide variety of settings, cultures, socioeconomic groups, and healthcare venues. This method is a good choice for the patient who prefers a natural method or does not want to take hormonal medication in the early months postpartum while she is exclusively nursing her baby.
Three main criteria must be met in order for LAM to be effective: 1) the baby should not be receiving any supplemental foods or artificial infant formula, 2) the baby must be less than 6 months old, and 3) the mother must not have resumed her menstrual cycle.
Ovulation in the non-lactating woman may occur as early as three weeks postpartum. The risk of ovulation in the high-frequency breastfeeding, amenorrheic woman is less than one to two percent.(2) Frequent nursing and/or pumping stimulates prolactin levels, which in turn suppress the surge of the follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones so that effective ovulation does not occur. Once the baby is six months old, it is more likely his diet will include foods other than human milk; he will breastfeed less and ovulation is more likely to occur.
LAM is not effective for the patient who plans to give supplemental feedings. Once the baby is over six months of age, the mother should plan on using an additional method of contraception if she wants to avoid pregnancy.
Barrier methods
Male and female condoms and spermicides are readily available in many places over the counter. When used properly these methods can provide reliable contraception with failure rates of less than 10 percent.(3) In addition, the male condom provides some protection against sexually transmitted disease.
The advantage to barrier methods is that the mother does not ingest anything that could subsequently be secreted in her milk. The diaphragm does require fitting by a health professional, which should not be done until six weeks postpartum, when the vagina and cervix have returned to a nonpregnant state.
Hormonal methods
Controversy surrounds the use of hormonal birth control methods in breastfeeding women, particularly regarding when they should be started and whether or not combination oral contraceptives should be used. Resarch has not shown that the estrogens and progestins used in oral contraceptives (OCs) ingested by the mother are harmful to human infants, but it is known that estrogens can reduce milk supply in some women. Croxatto et al. and Peralta et al. have shown that combination oral contraceptives have a "moderate" inhibitory influence on lactation even if instituted after milk supply is well established.(4,5) Tankeyoon noted a 41.9 percent decline in milk volume with combination OCs.(6) The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that the use of combination pills is acceptable if women are informed of the risk of a decreased milk supply.(7) It is prudent to avoid their use in women who are committed to continued breastfeeding since many other choices are available.
The progestin-only oral contraceptives, injectable progestins, and progestin implants (presently unavailable in the US) have been studied and found to have no adverse effects on breastfed infants.(8,9) When to start progestin-only methods is also a cause for considerable discussion. Initiation of lactation is stimulated by the withdrawal of progesterone that occurs after delivery. Kennedy et al. suggest that one should wait at least three days before administering a progestin.(10) However, there are many anecdotal reports of milk supply being affected by the administration of a progestin-only contraceptive. Although Koetsawang noted an increase in milk supply with progestin-only contraception, Tankeyoon noted a 12 percent decline in supply with oral progestin-only contraception compared to placebo.(6,11) Waiting until at least six weeks postpartum to prescribe progestin-only contraceptives may avoid such effects.
Intrauterine devices
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) currently available in the United States are the Paragard T380A and progestin-containing devices. Several other IUDs, both medicated and non-medicated, are available throughout the world. They have a failure rate of about one to two percent. Until recently, some physicians did not prescribe IUDs when a woman was breastfeeding, fearing that uterine contractions caused by oxytocin release during suckling would cause expulsion of the device. Expulsion rates are higher only if the IUD is inserted prior to four weeks postpartum.
Surgical sterilization
Surgical sterilization methods are considered permanent. Male sterilization has no effect on the mother's health or breastfeeding. Vasectomy is easier, less risky, and less expensive than female sterilization.(12) Female sterilization carries the same risks as any abdominal surgery, such as hemorrhage, infection, complications from anesthesia, and risk of injury to intraabdominal structures. Anesthetics commonly used for postpartum and interpartum female sterilization are short-acting and considered compatible with breastfeeding. Most patients will have a very short recovery time, and breastfeeding need be interrupted only during the actual surgery and time spent in the recovery room. The risk of failure ranges from 7.5/1000 to 52/1000 depending on the method used.(13)
A wide range of contraceptive choices exists for lactating women, and women may wish to consider different methods at different stages of lactation. Contraception need not interrupt or endanger the breastfeeding relationship. Mothers can be assured that effective choices are available to them at each stage of lactation and that breastfeeding can continue with confidence.

A fire swept through a small garment factory in Bangladesh on Saturday, claiming the lives of seven employees—all women—and injuring 10, according to firefighters and witnesses. The blaze occurred barely two months after the the South Asian country's worst industrial accident, which killed at least 112 apparel workers and injured 150 in a similar inferno. "Everything inside the factory has been gutted," a Reuters photographer said.
Although the exact cause of the fire at Smart Fashions, which was housed on the upper floor of a two-storey building in the suburb of Mohammadpur, is yet to be determined, fire officials said it appeared to start in a tire repair and welding shop below.
Rough 700 workers, over 70 percent of them young women, worked at Smart Fashions.
Rough 700 workers, over 70 percent of them young women, worked at Smart Fashions.
Rough 700 workers, over 70 percent of them young women, worked at Smart Fashions, according to the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, one of the oldest human-rights organizations dedicated to workers rights around the world. Two of the women killed were teenagers aged 15 and 16, it added.
Staff members, who said they gained access to the facility in the aftermath of the fire, claimed they recovered the labels of companies that contracted the factory, including Inditex-owned Bershka and Lefties, sister brands to Zara.
Also salvaged from the rubble were labels from Sol's, a Paris-based clothing brand that says it abides to the Geneva Convention, Oeko-Tex standards, Fairtrade commitments, and a "charter of a commitment to ethics."
In a joint statement issued after the incident, the International Labor Rights Forum, Worker Rights Consortium, and the Clean Clothes Campaign issued a joint statement urging retailers and brands to sign a first-of-its-kind contract governing fire-safety inspections at thousands of Bangladeshi factories.
"After more than two decades of the apparel industry knowing about the risks to these workers, nothing substantial has changed," wrote Judy Gearhart, executive director of the International Labor Rights Forum. "Brands still keep their audit results secret. They still walk away when it suits them and trade unions are still marginalized, weakening workers' ability to speak up when they are at risk."
Bangladesh is second only to China in annual clothing exports, with roughly 4,500 garment factories and a notoriously spotty fire-safety record.

December 8, 2010
Washington D.C. - Today, more than fifty leading university professors urged Congress to pass the DREAM Act, noting that both their academic research and their work as teachers compelled them to speak out on behalf of the undocumented students whose future hangs in the balance over today's vote. These scholars, who have dedicated their professional lives to studying migration-related issues, noted:
We, a group of university professors who study immigration and the circumstances confronting these young people, and who have many of these students in our classes, believe passing the DREAM Act is the right thing to do for our nation's immediate interests and for our long term security... After decades of research it is clear that, by punishing the children of undocumented immigrants, this country is creating a disenfranchised group of young people cut off from the very mechanisms that would allow them to contribute to our economy and society ... It is especially troubling and wasteful that some 2.1 million unauthorized children, American in spirit but not in law, are now enrolled in U.S. schools but will not be able to lawfully gain employment at the end of their education.
Over these last weeks and months we have seen our own students--those who are in our classrooms--struggle to meet school expenses, graduate from our universities, and then face uncertain futures and the constant risk of deportation. But we have also witnessed their incredible capacity to thrive despite debilitating circumstances. Gaby Pacheco, who, along with 3 others walked from Miami to Washington DC, holds three degrees from Miami Dade College. She dreams of practicing music therapy with autistic children... What is to be gained from limiting her opportunities?
[The DREAM Act] is an important step in fixing America's broken immigration system, and it should be passed. U.S. raised children, like Gaby Pacheco, who benefit from the Dream Act will see their hard work rewarded and, in turn, will contribute even more to the U.S., through higher earnings and taxes paid. And they will be our future teachers, community leaders, and professionals. As we think of students like Gaby Pacheco and the impact they are currently making, let us imagine the potential impact--and multiply it by 2.1 million. The America that we believe in, and that these idealistic youth believe in, would pass the Dream Act.
Ben Johnson, Executive Director of the American Immigration Council, stated: "The support of these university professors for their students, driven not only by their compassion but by their years of research, is further evidence that the DREAM Act offers America a chance to begin the process of rebuilding our broken immigration system, allow deserving students to contribute to the country they love, and drive the economic growth of our nation for the next generation."
To read the full statement, see:

IPC's mission is to shape a rational national conversation on immigration and immigrant integration. Through its research and analysis, IPC provides policymakers, the media, and the general public with accurate information about the role of immigrants and immigration policy on U.S. society. IPC reports and materials are widely disseminated and relied upon by press and policy makers. IPC staff regularly serves as experts to leaders on Capitol Hill, opinion-makers and the media.

The consequences of quenching and photobleaching are suffered in practically all forms of fluorescence microscopy, and result in an effective reduction in the levels of emission. These artifacts should be of primary consideration when designing and executing fluorescence investigations. The two phenomena are distinct in that quenching is often reversible whereas photobleaching is not. Quenching arises from a variety of competing processes that induce non-radiative relaxation (without photon emission) of excited state electrons to the ground state, which may be either intramolecular or intermolecular in nature. Because non-radiative transition pathways compete with the fluorescence relaxation, they usually dramatically lower or, in some cases, completely eliminate emission. Most quenching processes act to reduce the excited state lifetime and the quantum yield of the affected fluorophore.
The digital image presented above features a culture of male rat kangaroo kidney epithelial cells that was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-beta-catenin rabbit monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Rhodamine Red-X. The culture was also immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-tubulin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy2 to target the microtubular network, and counterstained with Hoechst 33342 to target nuclear DNA. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Mali beat Ghana 3-1 in the third place play-off at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday
Posted: 9 February 2013 Time: 21:55
Mali beat Ghana 3-1 in the third place play-off at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday night at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to win the bronze medal.
The Mali goals were scored by Mahamadou Samassa, Seydou Keita and Sigamary Diarra while Kwadwo Asamoah scored for Ghana.
The game started in a calm mood with the Ghanaians getting the better of the early stages as the Eagles took some time to settle.
Ghana did not trouble goalkeeper Daouda Diakite despite Mali's slow start.
Mali got the opening goal in the 21st minute when Samassa dived in to head home a well-placed Adama Tamboura cross past goalkeeper Dauda, 1-0.
Wakaso's came close to getting the equaliser but his shot was saved by Diakite to keep the Eagles in the lead.
The second half started well for Ghana as substitute Jonathan Mensah got on the end of a good free-kick from Wakaso heading narrowly wide.
Mali scored again in the 48th minute when Keita hit the ball past Dauda from Ousmane Coulibaly's pass from the right, 2-0.
Wakaso was handed a chance to half the deficit a few minutes later as Salif Coulibaly was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box despite replays showing that the ball actually came off his chest. Wakaso hammered his penalty kick wide.
In the 82nd minute Ghana were back in the game when Asamoah halved the deficit. A hopeful shot from distance from the midfielder sneaked past Diakite who had clearly misjudged the flight of the ball, 2-1.
Ghana went looking for the equaliser but were punished on the counter attack as Sigamary Diarra added a third for the Eagles on the counter attack in the 92nd minute.

I wonder if any document describing differences between EGL 1.3 and 1.4 exists.
Currently I browse specification of EGL 1.4 with changes
http://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/spe ... 130211.pdf
but I am not sure whether these "changes" are regarding 1.3 or some earier versions of spec but still for 1.4 ...
Could you clarify this topic a little bit?

Fix problem with product import and develop some additional features in import and product catalog
On the beginning we have to figure out, why import is not working like it should and then I need someone who can develop new funcionality for our product catalog (e-commerce platform is custom made and is not built using any platform).
At the moment there is several supplier types You can use in system and one of them is "Cross supplier". I need that someone change the logic on how this supplier works.
For now it is possible to "tell" the system to which existing product the new product refers. It means that basically it is the same product, but from another producer.
I need that products which are shown in "Cross supplier" copy the product information from the existing product, but use unique picture whos location is specified when importing (this has to be developed).
I will explain task more detailed privately.
I think person with good skills in PHP, HTML, JAVA SCRIPT and AJAX will be able to finish this task in 4 hours.
Hello, Is it possible to see current import & "cross supplier" php codes? I know you said it's not based on any platform (I guess it's simple php code) but sometimes it's too hard to make changes. Thanks.

"Star Trek: Into Darkness" bothered me in a number of ways. A warning: if you haven't seen the movie, spoilers lie ahead. If you read on, get ready for a nerded-out rant, the likes of which you've never before seen (unless you read anything else I write about movies).
Movie-going in general
This is more of a general complaint about the movie-going experience. With the advent of unbelievable home theater systems wouldn't you think that theaters would be attempting to make the movie-going experience more pleasurable and not make us all sit there getting advertised to for thirty f***ing minutes before the movie starts? Even once you get past the ads, you have to sit for another ten minutes while AMC advertises itself in a infinite regress of thirty second spots for AMC. I realize that by lodging this complaint I've firmly entrenched myself as a surly old man, but so be it.
Damon Lindelof's shit writing Part I
Obsessive readers of this blog will know that I consider writer and producer Damon Lindelof to hold the position as The Worst Living Writer in Hollywood. Lindelof, a hack of epic proportions, is responsible for such trope-riddled abortions of logic like the final season of "Lost," "Prometheus," and "Cowboys & Aliens." Maybe it was just me, but I felt like the dialogue of "Star Trek: Into Darkness" went beyond typically weak action movie boiler-plate and actually reached to some higher epoch of suckiness. Jokes ranged from, "Ha, Spock doesn't understand a character is being literal, so he says what they're doing isn't logical! Ha!" to other iterations of that same joke.
Damon Lindelof's shit writing Part II
If I set out to count the number of stolen plot points riddling "Into Darkness" I'd have to write an entirely new column, but here are two that bugged me the most.
First, the whole "the bad guy wanted to be captured so he could execute his secret plan" hit its peak with Chris Nolan's "The Dark Knight." Now we see this trope in all the super-villain movies, most recently the new Bond, "Skyfall." If you can't think of new things to happen in your movie at least crib from less obvious source material.
Second, the entire premise of "Into Darkness" revolves around a Federation admiral resurrecting Khan (yes, that Khan) to help him build a fleet of super-weapons, so the Federation can go to war with the Klingons. As this excellent EW article points out, this would be like resurrecting a Mongolian warlord to help the U.S. military build a new fleet of drones, but no matter. The worst trope recycled here is that Kirk dies (in an inversion of the one truly great Star Trek film, "Wrath of Khan"), but of course Dr. McCoy can resurrect him with Khan's genetically-engineered superblood, which can bring people back from the dead. The superblood resurrecting trope is now so well-worn, I can't even think of all the movies that have employed it. First of all, if this guy has superblood that will save humanity, why are you freezing him back in his cryogenic chamber? F***ing save the f***ing universe with that shit, you stupid twats! Except for Hollywood writers who can't think through even the most meager implications of their fictional devices!
Khan sucked
In order to keep it a secret that the villain was Khan, J.J. Abrams cast some lame British fop named Benedict Cumberbatch, which incedentally the name I would call a British guy for being a fop. Cumberbatch, however, is not even really playing Khan but just another unmemorable, generic super-villain who could have gone by "Harry" or "Damon Lindelof." Speaking of which, Hollywood, do you notice how now basically every villain you give us is just Osama bin Laden? Like come up with a new motivation for a villain, please. "Star Trek: Insurrection" the worst, least viewed Star Trek movie ever where the Next Generation crew discovers a planet with magic healing capabilities (not Khan's blood, though), had a more interesting moral quandary at its villain's emotional center than "Into Darkness."
On the way out of the theater, I overheard a mother explaining to her young daughter about the original movie featuring Khan. "Oh, she hasn't seen 'Wrath of Khan,'" I told her. "This movie will make way more sense to you after you see that."
But what I really wanted to say to the girl was, "Also, in that one Khan isn't some wannabe Hannibal Lecter pussy. He's Ricardo Montalban, and he's badass as shit, little girl."
Did no one else notice the 9/11xAMillion of San Francisco?
Okay, so at the end of the movie, the entire city of San Francisco is destroyed when Kahn kamikaze crashes a new super-ship into it because, well, because. The crew of the Enterprise is patting themselves on the back for their clever thinking (Oh, Spock thought to use Khan's cryogenically frozen compatriots against him by blowing up the torpedoes in which they were stored. How clever! And Captain Kirk learned about the true meaning of leadership! And Uhura and Spock talked things out! And Kirk came back to life when McCoy injected him with the Khan magic blood!) And meanwhile hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are dead in the worst terrorist atrocity of the 23rd Century.
The lesson being that Kirk should never have had his flash of conscience to go capture Khan, and instead should have taken Admiral Marcus's mission seriously and blown Khan up with one of these drones—er, torpedoes (Speaking of which, why did the Admiral put Khan's 72 frozen comrades in torpedoes? Was Kirk supposed to fire them all at the planet? He only needed to fire one to kill Kahn anyway, right? So the other 71 would still be lying around with bodies in them. This is a plot hole so gaping, it's almost gross to look at, so your brain just kind of shoves it aside.)
The moral argument the film makes is that the rule of law and due process that Spock and Kirk hold dearwill cause the holocaust of San Francisco. It's a plot that could have been written by CIA chief John Brennan.
Does anybody anywhere have an original idea anymore?
Here were the previews before "Into Darkness":
• "Despicable Me 2," a sequel
• "Anchorman 2," a sequel
• "The Hangover III," a totally unnecessary, unwanted, unwatchable sequel
• "Man of Steel," the Superman retread, which appears to feature aliens attacking Earth, a plotline we haven't seen in upwards of, oh, twelve minutes.
• "Last Vegas," which is "The Hangover" starring old guys instead of young guys.
• "The Internship," which is "Wedding Crashers" set at Google
• "World War Z," which is penned by none other than hack extraordinaire Damon Lindelof and is going to miss the point of the fun and inventive novel on which it is based so thoroughly that it's like they just bought the rights to the name and then recycled the plots of every other zombie movie made in the last decade.
In summary, you make me f***ing sick, Hollywood. See you at "Fast and the Furious 6."

For more than a decade, companies have slowly shifted their focus to fit an era of deep consumer engagement. They have begun to embrace social media management, and they are better integrating print and TV campaigns with their online and social media presence. Unfortunately, it's not enough.
More must be done to engage consumers who have become increasingly resistant to traditional "push" marketing – making 2013 the year of consumer engagement. So what's driving this new marketing paradigm?
Consumers have become increasingly resistant to feeling manipulated. They will quickly sniff you out if they believe you are using them only for your own benefit. Consumers trust other consumers (even if they don't know them) more than they do brands. As such, empowered, price-driven, critical consumers are turning to social media and online review sites for feedback about brands which they are considering.
In fact, today's consumers are typically highly educated about your brand before ever speaking to you. These online channels serve as your front-line sales team. Are they making the right impression and motivating consumers to further connect with your brand?
When consumers make brand contact, they seek true one-to-one engagement versus simply a barrage of one-way marketing messages. Consumers want brands to talk with them versus at them. They seek a variety of messaging through a variety of channels that paint a consistent picture of the brand experience you offer.
You can no longer count on traditional advertising alone to interrupt consumers and capture attention. There is simply too much advertising noise, and consumers can very easily turn it off for self-preservation (e.g., DVRs allow for skipping of TV commercials and billboards don't guarantee visibility due to passengers preoccupied on smartphones). It's not an easy task to engage more deeply with consumers when they have the power to so easily disengage.
American Express chief marketing officer John Hayes said: "We went from a monologue to a dialogue. Mass media will continue to play a role. But its role has changed."
So what's the answer? Start by embracing the fact that everyone on your team is responsible for marketing. Consumers see every point of contact with your company as part of the brand experience. To truly connect with customers, your email, phone, social media, website and in-store dialogue with customers must all leave them feeling as though they've been a part of something special.
That's why a much broader cross-section of your staff must be coached in the art of consumer engagement, with many also needing specific training in the art of digital and social media marketing. Marketing is no longer handled in isolation by a single department. In this new era of consumer engagement, every employee with customer contact is an extension of your marketing team.

(CNN) -- Several hundred of Donna Summer's closest friends and family crowded into a Nashville, Tennessee, church Wednesday afternoon to say goodbye to the queen of disco, who died of lung cancer last week.
The family had kept the funeral plans private, but by Wednesday afternoon it was revealed that the service was being held at Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Cameras were not allowed inside.
David Foster performed "The Prayer" with Natalie Grant, according to Universal Music Enterprises, Summer's record label.
Summer's sisters, Linda Gaines Lotman, Mary Ellen Bernard, Dara Bernard and Jenette Yancey, sang "We've Come This Far By Faith."
Guests included Giorgio Moroder, who produced several of Summer's hits, and singer Tony Orlando.
Summer had been a Nashville resident since 1995.
Summer's death at age 63 last Thursday began a flow of tributes for the five-time Grammy winner, whose music was a driving beat of the disco era in the last half of the 1970s.
"Her talent was a true gift to the music industry," said Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy.
"Few singers have impacted music & the world like Donna Summer! It's the end of an era," singer Gloria Estefan wrote on Twitter.
"I can't believe we've lost another wonderful singer," Dolly Parton said. "Donna, like Whitney (Houston), had one of the greatest voices ever. I loved her records. She was the disco queen, and will remain so. I knew her and found her to be one of the most likable and fun people ever. She will be missed and remembered."
Summer, born in Boston to a father who was a butcher and a mother who was a schoolteacher, sang from the moment she learned to talk. Her debut performance came in church at age 10 when the scheduled singer didn't show and the pastor asked Donna to step in.
Summer later recalled that the church performance left worshipers in tears.
Though she is iconic in the disco genre, her five Grammy wins were also in the R&B, rock, inspirational and dance categories.
In a 2003 interview with CNN, she said the initial absence of a manager led her to do provocative photo shoots. Her public image as a sex symbol and diva conflicted with her religious upbringing, she said. Her grandfather was a minister and her father a church deacon.
"Yes, it was a big complex and the image was sort of created around me," Summer said. "I was sort of there, but not consciously there. And I didn't have anybody sort of on my side at that point, fighting for me, except for me, being in the middle. And then people would say, you know, 'Lay down here and do this.' And you know, whatever," Summer said.
Summer first rose to fame the mid-'70s, thanks to "Love to Love You Baby." With Summer's whispered vocals and orgasmic groans, the song helped define the mid-'70s disco trend and hit No. 2 in 1976. Summer followed the song with such hits as "I Feel Love," "Last Dance" and a disco-fied version of the Richard Harris hit "MacArthur Park," which outdid Harris' version by hitting No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. It was Summer's first of four chart-toppers.
But with her 1979 album, "Bad Girls," Summer broke out of the disco mold as the genre, which had become renewed by the success of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, was feeling a backlash. "Bad Girls" demonstrated Summer's vocal and stylistic range and produced two No. 1 hits, "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls," as well as a Top 10 ballad, "Dim All the Lights."
However, Summer had some trouble adjusting to the changing times. Her next album, "The Wanderer," went for more of a rock feel. It produced a Top 10 hit in the title track but fared relatively poorly on the charts -- especially after the success of "Bad Girls," a double album that spent five weeks at No. 1.
It wasn't until 1983's "She Works Hard for the Money," which became a ubiquitous video as well as a big radio hit, that Summer's fame approached its late '70s zenith.

The Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal's world-wide newsboxall lead with the conviction of Jose Padilla on terrorism conspiracy charges. Everyone says the jury's verdict was a victory for the White House, which had been roundly criticized for the way Padilla, a U.S. citizen who had been designated an "enemy combatant," was held for more than three years in almost total isolation. Administration officials were clearly pleased, but critics were quick to point out that the conviction undermines the White House's often-repeated view that criminal courts are not equipped to deal with terrorists. Padilla was charged with two other men, who were also found guilty, and they could all be sentenced to life imprisonment.
USA Todayleads with a look at the large number of Iraq's doctors and nurses that have left the country since the invasion, which is making it difficult to staff the medical clinics built by the U.S. government. And they're not the only ones. According to an Oxfam report, 40 percent of Iraq's professionals have escaped the country.
The WSJ emphasizes that each side on the warrantless eavesdropping debate could claim their views were redeemed by Padilla's conviction because wiretapped calls were an integral part of the prosecution's case, but they were carried out under court supervision.
Padilla was arrested in 2002 allegedly for planning a "dirty bomb" attack, a charge that was never made at the trial. After spending more than three years in a Navy brig, where some contend he was tortured, the government transferred Padilla to civilian custody so he could be tried. Padilla's lawyers argued their client was unfit to stand trial because the abuse and torture he faced made him unable to assist in his own defense.
After a three-month trial, jurors came to a decision in a little more than a day. The NYT talks to a juror who says she had pretty much made up her mind before deliberations began. Everyone says the most damning evidence against Padilla was a "mujahideen data form" that was described as an application to join an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan. The form had Padilla's fingerprints, but lawyers questioned its authenticity and said he could have handled the document while under military custody.
Overall, the Post is the most outwardly skeptical of the evidence presented in the case, describing it as "relatively thin" on charges that Padilla intended to commit murder overseas and pointing out that the wiretapped calls presented to the jury "offered few specific clues of his intentions." Defense lawyers accused the prosecution of employing "scare tactics" and criticized the decision to play an interview with Osama Bin Laden, which they said was only used so jurors would think of Sept. 11. The LAT says Padilla's mother vowed her son would appeal. Lawyers for the two other men also promised to appeal saying that if it weren't for Padilla their clients would have been acquitted.
The NYT, LAT, and WP front large pictures of the devastation left by the powerful earthquake that hit Peru on Wednesday and killed at least 437 people, a number that is likely to increase as recovery efforts continue. The 8.0-magnitude earthquake has displaced at least 17,000 people, many of whom were left without power and other basic services. Although earthquakes in Peru are relatively common, this one was widely seen as one of the most devastating in the country's history.
In other tragic news, the LAT and USAT reefer late-breaking news that three rescue workers were killed as they attempted to reach the six men trapped in a Utah mine. All rescue efforts have now stopped, and it is unclear whether they will continue.
The WP fronts, the WSJ goes high with, and the NYT reefers, the release of notes taken by FBI Director Robert Mueller that detail how then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was "barely articulate," "feeble," and "clearly stressed" soon after he received a visit from several top administration officials in his hospital room in 2004. The White House officials, including Alberto Gonzales, who was White House counsel at the time, tried to get Ashcroft to approve an extension of the warrantless wiretapping program. The notes contradict testimony given by Gonzales, who assured lawmakers that Ashcroft was "lucid" during the now-infamous hospital visit.
On Page One, the NYT tries to figure out how much time Rudolph Giuliani actually spent at ground zero. When criticized for failing to properly protect the health of rescue workers, Giuliani frequently talks about how he spent a lot of time in the area as well and could face many of the same risks. There is no record of the amount of time the former mayor spent at the site during "the chaotic six days after the attack." But, after examining the mayor's archives, the NYT says Giuliani spent 29 hours at ground zero from Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001, which is obviously a lot less time than many of the rescue workers.
For its part, the WSJ fronts a look at how John Edwards has about $16 million invested in Fortress Investment Group, a former employer. The paper found 34 homes in New Orleans "whose owners have faced foreclosure suits from subprime-lending units" of Fortress. While on the campaign trail, Edwards has frequently criticized those behind these types of foreclosures. When confronted with the data, Edwards vowed to "divest" from any funds that are part of the foreclosures and said he will personally help those affected by businesses affiliated with Fortress. The paper notes this isn't the first time this question has come up, as the WP first brought up a similar conflcit in May.
Everyone notes that one of President Bush's daughters, Jenna, got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Henry Hager. If they decide to get married at the White House, it would be the first wedding there since 1971. The WP notes that, when asked about Hager in 2005, Laura Bush said, "this is not a serious boyfriend."

ORWELL — Orwell native and dairy farmer Louis Hall can't exactly recall how he ended up on the Orwell Volunteer Fire Department 48 years ago.
"I really don't remember how I got started," said Hall, now 71. "I joined in '67, and I don't remember if somebody asked me. It wasn't one of those things where I had a burning desire all my life. I just joined."
LINCOLN — The Lincoln Volunteer Fire Company elected a slate of officers at its annual meeting, which was held on Saturday, Jan. 17, at the firehouse. The meeting was followed by a dinner shared with retired firefighters and fire personnel from Monkton.
The following officers were elected: Chief Dan Ober; 1st Assistant Chief Matt Atkins; 2nd Assistant Chief Dudley Leavitt; and Captains Aaron Thomas, Matt Brown and Jesse Bashaw.

BRISTOL — Bristol may soon complete another step on the way to building a new home for its fire department.
Since the fall, members of the selectboard have been negotiating with the Bristol Recreation Club, a private organization, to purchase some of the club's land on West Street as one part of a future building site for a new firehouse.
MIDDLEBURY — Two candidates had submitted résumés to become Middlebury's next fire chief as the Addison Independent went to press on Friday, Dec. 5, which was the application deadline for the position.
Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay on Friday morning said she could not yet divulge the names of the applicants, but confirmed one is a current member of the fire department while the other is a former member.
BRISTOL — The Have A Heart Food Shelf has had a great holiday season so far, in no small part due to a recent upgrade that expanded the Bristol nonprofit's storage space and a successful food drive sponsored by area fire department.
"It's filling right up," said food shelf director Rebecca Price.
In October, crews finished a renovation of St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Bristol, which included the expansion of the pantry and upgrades to the kitchen. The food shelf operates out of the basement of the West Street church.
BRISTOL — Bristol Fire Chief Brett LaRose gave a grim appraisal of the town firehouse's condition to the Bristol selectboard Monday evening.
LaRose presented a 10-page study by Williston firm Childs Engineering that outlined the numerous shortcomings of the North Street firehouse, which was built in 1897.
"This report makes it reality, all the issues we have had and currently have," LaRose told the board. "We're dealing with a building that's just unsafe."
BRISTOL — The Bristol Fire Department on Saturday elected new officers at its annual meeting, and installed Brett LaRose as the new chief.
LaRose has been with the department since 1995. He replaces outgoing chief John "Peeker" Heffernan, who served as chief for six years. Heffernan on Tuesday expressed confidence in the department's choice of LaRose.
"I think he'll do a great job — he's been doing hard work, and he deserves credit," Heffernan said.
BRISTOL — Town officials are inching closer to selecting a location for a new firehouse in Bristol. In a presentation to the Bristol Planning Commission Nov. 18, the Fire Facility Site Selection Committee recommended two sites for further vetting.
BRISTOL — With the first of two bond votes slated for Town Meeting Day, public discussion about a proposed upgrade to the Bristol Fire Department's North Street facility is beginning in earnest.
Bristol residents said there have been significant neighbor-to-neighbor conversations on the proposed major expansion of the firehouse, with some taking sides on preliminary plans that would add 10,000 square feet of space to the 116-year-old building at a cost approaching $2 million.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department is proposing a $5.2 million makeover of its Seymour Street and East Middlebury stations, a plan that could go to the voters as soon as next March.
Members of the Middlebury Fire Station Committee outlined their preliminary plans to the town selectboard on Tuesday, calling for the replacement of the East Middlebury station with a slightly smaller, more energy efficient structure, and an expansion/renovation of the Seymour Street facility.

Essential oils have been used for beauty and medicinal purposes for centuries. The practice of aromatherapy dates back before 1500BCE. Egyptians used them in cosmetics, wrapping mummies & embalming process. And essential oils such as frankincense and myrrh are mentioned in the Bible. Modern Aromatherapy began in 1910 when a French perfumer and chemist burned his hand in his lab. He immediately stuck his hand in a nearby vat of lavender essential oil, which he mistook for water. When there was no pain, swelling, or blistering after what was expected to be a serious burn, he began to investigate and observe aromatherapy. During WWI, essential oils were used to treat solider's wounds, and it encouraged others to follow suit.
In order for an essential oil to have a therapeutic effect on the body, the quality of the oil must not be compromised in any way. Many oils are misleading-some are diluted with castor oil or other carrier oils without the consumer knowing. Some are extracted using chemical means which breaks down the essential oil making them less effective. Then the company masks these issues by calling the oils "therapeutic-grade." When this is done, it is the same as a chemically based skin care line using the words "natural" or "organic" which can legally be done due to non monitoring of personal care products.
Chemistry is involved in determining the therapeutic value of an oil. This is an important fact when using oils to treat fibromyalgia symptoms and other ailments. Notice the following examples:
Eucalyptus Globulus Therapeutic Effects
General: fevers, insect repellent
Muscles and Joints: good for the treatment of muscular aches and pains; rheumatic pains
Respiratory system: may be used for asthma, bronchitis, coughs, sinusitis, throat infections
Viral infections: may be used for the flu, measles, chickenpox, and shingles
Skin: can be used for wounds and skin ulcers
Lavender Angustifolia Therapeutic Effects
Respiratory: good for hay fever, viral bronchitis, ear infections, dry cough, tonsillitis
Digestive system: good for viral enterocolitis
Muscles and joints: rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis
Peripheral nerves: good for neuralgia
Skin: helps acne, eczema, severe burns
Of course, one would need a good aromatherapy guide and/or take a basic course in order to use these oils safely. But, it is worth the effort and you can have fun in the process.

Pentagon Video Is Giant Psy-Op
Intended to create circus of interest around 'no plane' theories, later debunk them
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | May 16 2006
Grainy video stills showing what is claimed to be the nose cone of Flight 77 will only result in an increased circus of debate around the issue of what happened at the Pentagon in preparation for a future release of clear video footage that 'debunks' people who question the official version of 9/11.
For over four years we have remained neutral on the subject, agreeing that unanswered questions need to be explored but warning against the Pentagon issue becoming the core focus of the 9/11 truth movement.
The danger is clearly that the government will use its media mouthpieces in particular Fox News to hype this until it becomes the de facto keystone of alternative explanations behind 9/11.
At the point when that crescendo reaches its peak crystal clear footage of Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon will be released, knocking down the straw man argument that the establishment itself erected.
The government is steam valving this issue so as to garner as much interest as possible before blowing the entire matter out of the water. We know for a fact that the FBI seized the gas station camera footage and footage from hotels across the highway which would show the entire sequence of events and prove exactly what happened at the Pentagon.
The fact that they have again chosen to release grainy and foggy images which only lead to more speculation tell us two things.
1) The government truly is frightened to death of releasing any images which accurately depict what happened at the Pentagon because it doesn't jive with the official version of 9/11.
2) Or the government knows that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and has clear footage of the incident, but is deliberately releasing these speculative images in order to stoke the debate so it can later release the high quality video and use it to debunk the entire 9/11 truth movement.
The media obsession with this one facet of an entire smorgasbord of 9/11 questions, and their refusal to address more hardcore 9/11 evidence, leads us to fear the latter explanation is the case.
Watch Martial Law free online to get the truth about 9/11 or buy the DVD here!
Why no discussion of Building 7 and the comments of Larry Silverstein?
Why no discussion of the hijackers being trained by the US government? Lt. Colonel Steve Butler of the Monterey Defense Language Institute was suspended from duty after he accused Bush of allowing 9/11 to happen.
Why no discussion of the NORAD stand down?
Because none of these issues are honey pots, none of them are speculation because the cards are laid out on the table for everyone to see and the evidence is clear.
While intelligent questions need to be asked about what really happened at the Pentagon we feel that research in this context should come with the proviso that a potential trap is being laid to discredit all 9/11 research at a later date, and that today's story is part of that process.

Unusual issue here. Using latest 5.6 beta along with Techdemo III.
When attempting to play (stream) FLAC files from the client, files transcode and start downloading fine, however playback doesn't start until nearly the entire file is downloaded; and when it does start, the position starts halfway on the file, almost like the client thinks it's been playing all along since early buffering.
I'm able to slide the position back to 00:00 and it does correctly start at the beginning. I've been able to duplicate this behavior multiple times as I mostly ripped my personal library straight from cd to flac.

There are a couple things that you can do to assist your student learn how to write. Then pupils are shown how to earn a triangle as well as their square. Older students ought to take advantage of those cursive design units whom I've prepared.
Students never write letters independently, disconnected from different letters. Before they could learn about multiplication sentences, they need to understand the idea of a variety. When they rely on the usage of phrases, they are not as inclined to show, and more likely to tell. Older students might have the ability to produce the tree and house on a single sheet, except for younger students like Kindergarten or 1st grade, cutting on a home and tree outside on a single sheet will almost certainly be too challenging.

The days of high brow, intellectual conversation at conferences are over.
Well, maybe not over, but thanks to social media platforms like Twitter, things are getting a little more fun and dynamic.
Although Emily Post did not provide us with insight into proper live tweetng etiquette, Twitter Media provides a good guide. I figured I would also give you my two cents on effective live tweeting. Whether you're a first time tweeter, or a veteran, in anticipation of #NACE13, these are my…
Top 5 Live Tweeting Best Practices
1. Save #NACE13 so you can see what's happening Hootsuite.com is my platform of choice for organizing social networks. I call it my control station because the site allows you to view multiple social networks and save streams. Save #NACE13 as a stream so you can view all of the fabulous insight your peers share throughout the conference.
Not to tweet:
This is a great tweet because it is short, includes two relevant hashtags, and speaks kindly of me. A+.
3. Now that we're friends, expand your network For introverts like me, cyberspace is a great place to start making connections (not in a creepy way). By viewing what others are saying within the #NACE13 stream, you can engage by retweeting (RT), or relpying. A few tips when engaging in a live tweet:
If you modify someone's tweet, make sure to change the RT to Modified Tweet (MT) to indicate you changed content within the tweet.
If you are mentioning someone and you want all of Twitter to know, make sure that you put their handle in the middle of the tweet. If it's at the beginning only those who are following both of you will see the tweet.
A tweet heard around the Twitterverse:
Just me, you, and our mutual followers:
4. Don't be "that" person You know the type. It's the same person who doesn't realize you're sleeping with your eyes open while they tell the story about their epic trip to Vegas 10 years ago for the seven thousandth time. Don't be that guy or gal. Make sure you aren't taking up the Twitterverse with all your tweets and there's variety in the stream. Within your tweets, keep it interesting and throw in a picture, or even a Vine! No one likes to read anymore, just ask college students.
Overall, live tweeting is just one of the many ways to enrich your experience and be an active participant at #NACE13! I look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!

Belly pain is one of those thing that is so common and so typically benign that it's easy to forget how bad it can be sometimes. I saw a fellow recently who gave me a little refresher in "The Bad Abdomen." He showed up in the patient tracking system without a lot of other information (the nurse had not yet completed the computer documentation). Ordinarily, I would not have sprinted right in, but I was not terribly busy and I'm a restless sort, so I went in right away. This guy was sick, one of those cases where you walk in the room and stop dead in the doorway at the sight of him. He had abdominal pain, a terrible pain which had come on suddenly a few hours ago, and he was trying to hold perfectly, still like a statue, despite the pain which contorted his face. His respirations were deep and fast, and the sawtooth lines on the heart monitor bespoke a heart rate twice what it should have been. His skin was gray and moist, and his blood pressure was in the mid double-digits.
Not a diagnostic dilemma. A classic acute abdomen due to a perforated viscus, with early septic shock. I was on the phone with the surgeon within ten minutes of the patient's arrival, and a well-practiced team of nurses had the patient stabilized shortly thereafter: IV fluid bolus, blood transfusion, antibiotics, pain medicine, vasopressors. His CT scan was impressive.
For the uninitiated, the black at the top is free air, which has escaped the gut and is in the abdominal cavity; there is a lot of fluid in the belly as well, probably intestinal contents, and the bowel wall looks boggy and has air in it, which is an ominous sign.
The surgeon arrived, ready to go to work, and went to see the patient. He came out of the room a few minutes later, bemused. "Get this," he said to me, "this guy is refusing surgery!"
"Are you kidding me? He's gonna die!"
"He's serious. I told him he would die without an operation, but he still says no. Put him in the ICU and let me know if he changes his mind." And with that the surgeon was gone.
Now this was strange. This fellow was young and otherwise healthy, and the odds were that he would make a complete recovery with a timely operation. Without the operation, death was certain. Why didn't he want surgery? I went in to talk with him.
As the surgeon had said, the patient was dead set against it. I asked why, and grimacing from the pain, he said, "Doc, I know my body, and I've just got to listen to my body. Can't you understand that? Just give me some time, let me get hydrated, give me some juice, and my body will heal itself. I don't need no surgery." I explained to him, clearly and carefully, that he was going to die without the operation, and I asked him to repeat that back to me so I could know he understood what I was telling him.
He did. He understood me just fine. He just didn't believe me. He elaborated, "Doc, I just know this, I've been through it before. You give me some juice and leave me to rest tonight, and I'm gonna be just fine in the morning." No explanation I gave him could convince him otherwise. I figured it might be inadequate pain control, so we gave him some more pain meds to try see if that would allow him to focus more clearly. No luck. I had a nurse who seemed to have rapport with him spend some time talking him about it. No luck. Deep down, this man just didn't believe that he was going to die. I got him a bed in the ICU, and figured I'd give it one last go before he went upstairs.
"Okay sir, before you go up I've just got some paperwork to complete. Do you have a next of kin?"
"Um, yeah, my sister."
"Great. What's her phone number? We'll be needing to call her later. Do you have a mortuary or funeral home selected, or should we just have your sister pick one?"
"Um, I don't think -"
"No problem, we'll just have her pick one. Now, in a few hours, you're not going to be able to breathe any more, and if we're going to keep you alive, we'll have to put you on life support. Do you want us to do that, or should we let you suffocate?"
"That sounds bad -- I don't want to suffocate."
"Right, then, the ventilator it is. But a few hours after that, your blood pressure is going to go really low and your heart will stop. Do you want us to pound on your chest and shock your heart to try to bring you back? It won't work, of course, but I just need to let the ICU doctor plan how to handle it when the time comes. So should we do CPR or not?"
He gave me a long look. "You really mean it, don't you?" I said nothing, but let the long silence linger. "You really think I need the surgery?" I nodded. He sighed, and slumped back, resigned,"Well, all right, if you really think I need it..."
"You do. It may save your life. I'll let the OR know."
"Does this mean I don't get my juice?"
"Not till tomorrow."
I've saved many lives (or at least prolonged them) through medical skills and diagnostic acumen. In this case, I was pleased and amused that I saved (or at least prolonged) his life through my skills at manipulation and blunt force persuasion. A useful job skill, one underappreciated in medical training: the ability to discern when to let the patient have their way, and when to bully them into making the right choice.
[Note: there are times when a patient may make a principled choice against surgery. They may have an incurable disease, or very high surgical mortality, or simply be old and ready to die. I respect those choices. This was different in that it was not a principled decision, but the patient's denial that had to be overcome.]

Sometimes a clean knock to head works wonders....great job!
I don't think you were being a bully at all. It's not an informed refusal if the patient doesn't understand and accept the consequences of his decision. You simply made him understand.ReplyDelete
It makes me wonder how many of our patients' decisions truly are informed. Actually, I don't really wonder: I'm pretty certain the percentage is low.

whitecap nurse says: what a beautiful example of the three requirements for successful communication: 1)ability to HEAR the words, 2)ability to UNDERSTAND the language, 3)BELIEVING what the speaker says is true. It is pretty easy to achieve #1&2 most of the time but #3 can be a stickler! Thanks for persevering in this case! He really needed you to do that.ReplyDelete
That was exactly the kind of medicine he needed. If you're a bully, you're a bully with a heart.ReplyDelete
Many years ago, when I was a new EMT I was working with a crusty old EMT. So old in fact that he pre dated EMTs by a good 20 years. He didn't know much medicine, but he knew how to talk to people.ReplyDelete
We had a patient much like yours. He was sick, knew he was sick, but wouldn't go to the hospital.
Finally my crusty old partner said, "OK it's your decision, but tell your family not to buy you anything for Christmas that they can't return".
For some reason THAT worked where logic and clear explanation didn't.
Bravo, doc. You are not a bully. You told the patient the truth he needed to hear, in a way that made it more understandable to him. The result; he made a wise decision instead of a foolish one. You can't do better than that.ReplyDelete
By way of simile; we have an evacuation plan in my building. I am one of the people whose job it will be to convince people that this is for real and they really need to get out. NOW! Same problem; denial. We have been taught to carry a bunch of Sharpies in our pockets, and, when someone indicates that he is not leaving, we are to hand him a Sharpie and say, "well, O.K. Just do us a favor and write your name and social security number on your inner arm. It will speed up identification." We are then to move on, and leave him to reevaluate his options.
Being blunt doesn't happen enough. Folks think they know everything and end up killing themselves in the process. He owes his life to you. great job.ReplyDelete
Geez, I wish I could be blunt without getting in trouble. That was awesome, though. Good job! No you weren't a bully, you were knocking sense into someone. Someone who needed it!ReplyDelete

He clearly needed to hear that. I just had a patient die yesterday from a ruptured sigmoid. Terrible stuff. She even had an operation, but she couldn't survive it due to the large original insult, the time elapsed before presentation, and her underlying co-morbidities. Really sad.ReplyDelete
Great job. No bullying here. You just told it to him like you saw it.ReplyDelete
Don't you love those times in medicine where what to do is so goddamned crystal-clear?
That's a great case. I don't disagre with anything you did, but it highlights the fact that the doctor-patient relationship isn't really an equal partnership. The doctor has much more power in this type of interaction.ReplyDelete
bravo! bravo!ReplyDelete
i really have to master that particular communication skill. i don't think it will be taught in med school... at least in my med school...
i know autonomy is always an issue but there are just situations where you just have to butt in and force people into doing what you know is best...

text: The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a "manifest destiny" to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

Remembering the Civil War: Songs, films and books
April 12 will mark the 152nd anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War, which means we've had plenty of time to gain some perspective on one of the most momentous events of our nation's past. Though the country lost much, it gained a more solid identity, along with numerous works of art and literature that captured the years following 1861. Here are some of the more memorable ones.

I got an earful from John the other day. His boss won't let him breathe. Since the new guy took over his department, John's interest and enthusiasm has dropped. He says this guy is always looking over his shoulder. Criticizing his approach. Openly or not so openly letting him know his way is the only way.
There's a lot of talk in organizations about performance. Raising performance. The big question is how can anyone perform who can barely breath? Does that mean John or anyone in that situation needs to leave in order to move their career along? Depends. (more…)

City Pays Late Utility Bills
Read the original story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
It's a simple proposition: if you don't pay your utility bills, your utilities get shut off. But it gets complicated when the person in charge of 70 apartments doesn't pay his bills. That's the problem at Sacramento's Cypress Gardens Apartments.
The apartments are generally clean, neat and well maintained. It seems like an attractive place to live. Now, however, residents are coping without lights, air conditioning or hot water. Tenants thought it was an equipment problem, but it turned out PG&E and SMUD shut off service because the landlord didn't pay.
Twice now in the past four months, the city of Sacramento has stepped in to pay the utilities because the landlord wouldn't. "Unfortunately we found out about this a day late," said Josh Pino of the Sacramento Code Action Team. "The utilities were shut off yesterday and it's going to take us a day or so to get them turned back on."
News10 asked property owner Darryl Robida why, with an estimated $30,000 in monthly rental income, he can't keep on top of the utilities. "Oh yeah, it's a mix-up," said Robida. "Accounting and numbers and stuff."
Tenants are unsympathetic. "No hot water, so I don't know what he thinks. We have kids and we need that water," said tenant Valentina Rodriguez.
Although the situation seems dire, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the tenants of the Cypress Gardens apartments. Robida says his landlording days are over. The Cypress Gardens apartments are for sale. "I'm going on to bigger and better things," said Robida.
Meanwhile, the City of Sacramento is going to court to get a responsible caretaker appointed, until a buyer is found. When the apartment complex is sold, the city will recover the roughly $50,000 spent on delinquent utility bills.

Review: Cooler Master JAS mini Portable Aluminum Stand for iPad mini + iPhone
Company: Cooler Master
Website: www.Coolermaster-usa.com
Models: JAS mini
Price: $30
Compatible: iPad mini, All iPhones
Before it sold Apple accessories under its own name, PC peripheral developer Cooler Master used the Choiix brand to sell mobile gear. Choiix's lineup included one of our favorite iPad stands to date, the Wave Aluminum Stand. JAS mini ($30) is a spiritual successor to Wave, incorporating several improvements over the already great accessory. Advertised for use with iPhones and the iPad mini, it will actually work with any of Apple's iDevices, at the very least as a passive stand. Cooler Master certainly knows how to work with metal, and JAS mini got pretty much everything right.
Portability is an important factor when it comes to stands, and despite its support for numerous products, JAS mini meets this criterion. The stand folds down to roughly 4.5" long and 0.75" thick, remaining 2.4" wide at all times, a size that's similar in footprint to an iPhone and easy to carry around. Like Wave, it's mostly made from machined aluminum, but the feet are accented with black plastic and non-slip rubber. There are also two rings of rubber around the hinge, preventing your device from directly touching the metal.
When it's closed, JAS mini has a slightly concave shape. You open it by splitting the legs apart to form your desired angle of device recline, moving one of the legs forward and the other backward. The front leg has a small scoop to hold your bare or encased device, and although not all cases fit, many will. Like most stands, JAS mini accommodates iPads, iPhones, and iPods in landscape or portrait orientation. The legs extend to support angles anywhere from around 30° to 70°, or pretty much any viewing or typing angle you may like. JAS mini works perfectly as a stand for viewing and typing with everything smaller than full-sized iPads, but due to the stand's narrowness and small front scoop, large iPads may wobble a bit when you type on them.
At $30, Cooler Master's newest stand matches our only A-rated iPad stand, Belkin's FlipBlade Adjust, in price. There are differences in the angles they support, and JAS mini can take up a bit more space, depending on how shallow you want the device to sit. On the other hand, JAS mini's overall size is smaller, and the design is fancier. Overall, it's a truly great stand that checks every box, and deserves the same high recommendation.
Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
