Laser, light devices useful for clearing acne, scars recalcitrant to standard treatments
Dubai, United Arab Emirates — While topical and oral therapies remain the gold standard approach for treating acne, laser and light sources are effective for acne lesions and scarring, and can be particularly useful in cases recalcitrant to standard therapeutic approaches.
"Laser and light sources have come of age and are proving to be very useful in the treatment of numerous medical and cosmetic conditions in dermatology including acne and acne scarring," says Andreas D. Katsambas, M.D., professor, department of dermatology, Andreas Sygros Hospital for Skin and Venereal Diseases, Athens, Greece. Dr. Katsambas spoke at the Dubai World Dermatology & Laser Conference & Exhibition.
Gentler treatment
Ablative, nonablative and fractional lasers sources can be used to effectively treat acne scars, but of these modalities, Dr. Katsambas says nonablative fractional laser sources are often the preferred choice. Compared to ablative laser sources, nonablative and fractional lasers are typically associated with much less downtime, he says, and are more tolerable for the patient.
"There is a very mild, cosmetically acceptable erythema following nonablative fractional laser treatment and after five to six treatment sessions, most patients will see about 70-80 percent improvement in their lesions," Dr. Katsambas says.
While ablative laser treatments will usually have a more dramatic impact and are ultimately more effective in improving the cosmesis of acne scars, patients can expect as much as two weeks of downtime with ablative lasers, while the downtime typically associated with nonablative fractional lasers can be as little as one to two days, he says.
Avoiding PIH
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a potential side effect following laser therapy, which can be more of an issue in patients with darker Fitzpatrick skin types. According to Dr. Katsambas, the risk of PIH can be as high as 90 percent after ablative laser therapy, which is in stark contrast to the only 13 percent risk in patients following nonablative fractional laser treatment. Although PIH is typically a transient side effect, Dr. Katsambas says it can last for as much as six months in patients treated with ablative lasers, compared to a maximum of one week following nonablative fractional laser treatment.
"This difference in downtime can be crucial to the patient who has a very busy work and social life and cannot afford weeks or months of persistent erythema and the other side effects typically associated with the more intense ablative laser therapy," Dr. Katsambas says.
Depending on the severity of acne scarring, Dr. Katsambas will typically perform four to six nonablative fractional laser treatments spaced one month apart. Dr. Katsambas also advises his patients to avoid sun exposure at least two weeks following acne scar laser treatments. He prefers to perform these treatments in the winter months in order to help minimize the overall risk of PIH.
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is one of the major causes of acne and produces different porphyrin types such as coproporphyrin and protoporphyrin. According to Dr. Katsambas, light therapy using blue or red light as well as photodynamic therapy (PDT) are ideally suited for the treatment of acne because the porphyrins synthesized by P. acnes in the sebaceous follicles act as photosensitizers and attract the therapeutic light.
Combination treatments
The choice of blue or red light or PDT to treat acne depends on several factors, including the type and severity of the acne lesions the patient has, the age of the patient and the downtime the patient is willing to endure.
"Photodynamic therapy can achieve excellent outcomes; however, the approach is often associated with pain, and the subsequent inflammation following treatment could last for a week or longer," Dr. Katsambas says. "As a result, some patients may shy away from PDT and choose other treatments such as blue or red light, which may be less effective, but are much better tolerated by patients and have minimal downtime."
Dr. Katsambas says he still uses topical and oral therapies in his acne patients, and only if there are contraindications to these will he move ahead with laser and light sources. Due to the unsettling increase in antibiotic resistances seen in acne, Dr. Katsambas prefers to refrain from prescribing oral and topical antibiotics in his acne patients. Except for isotretinoin, he says he will often combine laser and light therapy with other acne treatments including contraceptives, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid.
"We are very fortunate to have an ever-expanding armamentarium to treat every form of acne of all severities. If for one or another reason a therapy proves ineffective, we can easily choose another proven approach and often achieve good to excellent clinical outcomes in our patients," Dr. Katsambas says.
Disclosures: Dr. Katsambas reports no relevant financial interests.
Guidelines for managing acne in children promote more consistent care
With acne presenting in increasingly younger patients, new guidelines developed by the American Acne and Rosacea Society (AARS) promote more consistent care for pediatric patients, according to an expert.
New HIPAA rules increase your liability: Here's how to comply
Dermatologists have until Sept. 23 to put into place internal policies and procedures needed to comply with sweeping changes coming to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Treating acne, rosacea in patients of color requires attention to inflammation
Recent developments regarding acne and rosacea in skin of color include studies showing that combination topical products for acne appear safe in this population, and the fact that rosacea is perhaps more prevalent than many might expect.
Fillers increasingly used in nontraditional areas for soft tissue augmentation
Filler procedures have become a staple in the dermatologic armamentarium for the treatment of numerous cosmetic indications, allowing physicians to perform sophisticated soft tissue augmentation procedures in their patients, safely and effectively. Though the correction of nasolabial folds was the first and perhaps the most popular indication for fillers, nontraditional areas where these cosmetic tools can be implemented are ever growing.
Research uncovers new, innovative treatments for conditions in patients with skin of color
The common challenges in treating patients with skin of color have not changed over the years, but continuing research has borne new and innovative treatment approaches and techniques that can better and more safely address the conditions often seen in this patient population.

Screening Performing a hearing screening on your baby is an important first step in ensuring your child's speech and language development. The hearing screening is easy and painless, and can identify whether more testing is needed. In fact, babies often are asleep while being screened. It takes very little time, usually only a few minutes. All infants should be screened for hearing loss no later than 1 month of age, and it is best if they are screened before leaving the hospital. If the baby does not pass this hearing screening, it's very important to make an appointment for a full hearing test and any needed medical tests no later than 3 months of age.

Follow-UpAll infants should be screened for hearing loss no later than one month of age. If the baby does not pass this hearing screening, it is very important to make an appointment for a full hearing test and any needed medical tests no later than three months of age.
A professional trained to test hearing loss, such as an audiologist or an ear, nose, and throat doctor will be able to perform these tests. The baby's doctor should perform or order any needed medical tests to find out the cause of the hearing loss. Because a newborn baby can pass the hearing screening and still develop a hearing loss, the baby's doctor should routinely follow the baby's general health, development, and well-being.

To What Extent Capital Structure Decision can Affect a Listed Company's Total Market Value
The capital structure decision is to optimize the proportions of debt to equity. For a listed company, market value is the price at which willing buyers and sellers would trade the assets. The company's capital structure decision has positive, negative and uncertain effects on its own total market value, which may be adjusted by the controllable leverage decision making. Furthermore, the relevance between them is far stronger than the ongoing managerial reform (i.e. the cost control). Along with the intensive study of the equity incentive plan, the extent of influence of capital structure decision on a listed company's total market value should be explored more deeply.

In baseball, the bullpen (or simply the pen) is the area where relief pitchers warm-up before entering a game. Depending on the ballpark, it may be situated in foul territory along the foul lines of the playing field or just beyond the outfield fence. A team's roster of relief pitchers is also metonymically referred to as "the bullpen". These pitchers usually wait in the bullpen if they have not yet played in a game, rather than in the dugout with the rest of the team. The starting pitcher also makes his final pregame warm-up throws in the bullpen. Managers can call coaches in the bullpen on an in-house telephone from the dugout to tell a certain pitcher to begin his warm-up tosses.
The only stadiums in Major League Baseball with bullpens in foul territory are Wrigley Field, AT&T Park, The O.co Coliseum and Tropicana Field.
Origin of the term[edit]
The origin of the term bullpen, as used in baseball, is debated, with no one theory holding unanimous, or even substantial, sway. The term first appeared in wide use shortly after the turn of the 20th century[1] and has been used since in roughly its present meaning. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the earliest recorded use of "bullpen" in baseball is in a 1924 Chicago Tribune article from October 5. The earliest known usage of the term "bull pen" relating to an area of a baseball field is in a New York Times article from June 24, 1883.[2] The earliest known relief pitching related usage of "bullpen" in the New York Times is in an article dated September 18, 1912.[3]
There are numerous examples—some historical, some speculative—about the possible origin of the term bullpen.
Civil War[edit]
During the Civil War in the United States, the notorious Andersonville prison camp was referred to, by the inmates, as a bullpen.
Though conditions were initially a vast improvement over Richmond detention centers, problems grew in proportion to the number of inmates. By late summer 1864, the prison population made Andersonville one of the largest cities in the Confederacy. At its peak in August, the "bullpen," built to lodge up to 10,000 enlisted men, held 33,000 grimy, gaunt prisoners, each one crammed into a living area the size of a coffin. Their only protection from the elements were "shebangs", hand built shelters low to the ground created by driving forked branches into the sandy soil four to eight feet apart and a piece of limb laid in the two forks creating the center pole. Planks or limbs were laid from the center pole to the ground creating what is also known as a "lean-to". The planks or limbs were covered with tent shelter halves, gum sheets, overcoats, or blankets as the owner could afford. If no woven material was available, then the shelter was covered in broad leaves giving the owner some shade but little protection from the rain.[4]
World War II[edit]
This wartime usage in the United States has occurred as recently as World War II. Tokio Yamane described conditions in Japanese relocation camps, referring to a "bull pen" within a stockade at Tule Lake, California.
Prisoners in the stockade lived in wooden buildings which, although flimsy, still offered some protection from the severe winters of Tule Lake. However, prisoners in the "bull pen" were housed outdoors in tents without heat and with no protection against the bitter cold. The bunks were placed directly on the cold ground, and the prisoners had only one or two blankets and no extra clothing to ward off the winter chill. And, for the first time in our lives, those of us confined to the "bull pen" experienced a life and death struggle for survival, the unbearable pain from our unattended and infected wounds, and the penetrating December cold of Tule Lake, a God Forsaken concentration camp lying near the Oregon border, and I shall never forget that horrible experience.[8]
Response to labor unrest (United States)[edit]
Temporary holding facilities for rebellious hard rock miners trying to organize into unions were referred to as bullpens.[9] These military prisons were sometimes literally pens normally used for cattle which were pressed into service by stringing barbed wire, establishing a guarded perimeter, and keeping large numbers of men confined in the enclosed space. These "bullpens" have been considered early versions of concentration camps,[10] and were used by the national guard during the Colorado Labor Wars of 1903-04, and in Idaho in 1892 and 1899 during union miners' uprisings near Coeur d'Alene. Author Emma Langdon described these as the first use of the bullpen in the West.[11]
In his autobiography Bill Haywood described Idaho miners held for,
...months of imprisonment in the bull-pen, a structure unfit to house cattle, enclosed in a high barbed-wire fence.[12]
Penned up in bullpens as a response to violence, many hundreds of union men had been imprisoned without trial. Peter Carlson wrote in his book Roughneck,
Haywood traveled to the town of Mullan, where he met a man who had escaped from the bullpen. The makeshift prison was an old grain warehouse that reeked of excrement and crawled with vermin. Overcrowding was so severe that some two hundred prisoners had been removed from the warehouse and quartered in railroad boxcars.[13]
Other theories about origin[edit]
- In the 1800s, jails and holding cells were nicknamed "bullpens", in respect of many police officers' bullish features – strength and a short temper.
- The bullpen symbolically represents the fenced in area of a "bull's pen", where bulls wait before being sent off to the slaughter. The relief pitchers are the bulls and the bullpen represents their pen.
- The name may be a reference to rodeo bulls being held in a pen before being released into the main arena.
- Latecomers to ball games in the late 19th century were cordoned off into standing-room areas in foul territory. Because the fans were herded like cattle, this area became known as the "bullpen", a designation which was later transferred over to the relief pitchers who warmed up there.
- At the turn of the century, outfield fences were often adorned with advertisements for the Bull Durham brand of tobacco. Since relievers warmed up in a nearby pen, the term "bullpen" came about.[14]
- Manager Casey Stengel suggested the term might have been derived from managers getting tired of their relief pitchers "shooting the bull" in the dugout and were therefore sent elsewhere, where they would not be a bother to the rest of the team – the bullpen. How serious he was when he made this claim is not clear.
- Jon Miller, a baseball play-by-play announcer with ESPN television, said the term is derived from the late 19th century. The New York Giants first played at the Polo Grounds, which opened around 1880. The relief pitchers warmed up beyond the left-field fence, and in the same area was a stockyard or pen that had bulls in it.
Other uses[edit]
Other current uses of the term include:
- Reference to a large open work area consisting of desks with no separating walls and private offices. Bullpens were common across many business fields in the first half of the 20th century and are often used by software development teams.[15] Michael Bloomberg used this set-up and term at his media company Bloomberg L.P., and for his staff while Mayor of New York City.[16] Adrian Fenty used this setup also while mayor of Washington, DC.[17]
- Within USAID, the Office of Transition Initiatives' bullpen represents a surge capacity of experienced professionals that can be called upon to assist in all aspect of office operations and programming.
- Marvel Comics refers to its in-house staff of writers and artists as the "Marvel Bullpen."

Hoisting a pint of Guinness beer has become synonymous with celebrating St. Patrick's Day, "the friendliest day of the year." What is it about Guinness – this creamy black liquid with froth on top – that makes the brand so unique and enables it to unite the world and turn everyone Irish, if only for a day? Beyond its taste and history, Guinness does a masterful job of managing and leveraging brand equities to generate extreme loyalty among current customers and attract new ones.I am a Guinness loyalist and, when given the choice, drink a pint of the dark over any other beer. But even I am mystified at the number of people who, on March 17, choose Guinness even if they don't really like the taste or don't drink it during the rest of the year. I cannot think of any other brand that commands such a response; sure, we drink champagne on New Year's Eve, but no one brand has become identified with that holiday the way Guinness has with St. Patrick's Day.
Brand Excellence, PersonifiedMy Cincinnati cohort, Creative Director Jamey Wagner, cites three reasons why he believes Guinness has achieved and maintained brand excellence – heritage, brand management and unique experience – and I agree. Let's look at each of these elements in greater detail.Heritage – Guinness is one of the oldest brands in the world, having just celebrated its 250th birthday. In 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on an abandoned brewery at St James' Gate, Dublin. It cost him an initial £100 with an annual rent of £45. Although traditional ale was brewed there at first, it wasn't long before a new dark porter beer was tried and, after its tremendous success, the now famous stout. Guinness' longevity is quite impressive, especially when you consider how some brands ride the crest of the trend wave and then fall into obscurity and die. Guinness' romantic heritage also contributes to the fervent devotion of its brand loyalists.
Brand Management – Guinness has stood the test of time, in part, because it has carefully managed its equities and resisted the urge to overextend itself into sub-brands that don't resonate with its brand promise. Guinness' equity strategy is simple, yet effective: identify the core brand assets and leverage them across all touchpoints, all of the time. Black as the dominant color, the harp as logo and a unique opening ceremony are all symbols of the elite club to which Guinness loyalists belong. Similar to Apple and Starbucks consumers who flaunt their white headphones or white coffee cups as they walk down the street, brandishing a Guinness bottle or glass conveys a statement of belonging; of understanding the brand at a deep, emotional level.Not only has Guinness skillfully managed its brand equities over time, it applies them consistently around the globe. Of course, there always will be purists who believe that a pint in Ireland is better than anywhere else in the world – thicker, creamier and better tasting – a fact borne out in Evan McHugh's 2008 book, Pint-Sized Ireland: In Search of the Perfect Guinness. According to another of my Cincinnati co-workers, Account Leader (and fellow Guinness lover) Will Kladakis, author McHugh travels the country searching for the perfect pint of Guinness. Through his tale, we learn that throngs of beer enthusiasts flock to Ireland every year with the intent to enjoy a Guinness prepared by experts in its native land. Bartenders, locals, and tourists alike all offer advice on exactly where to find the proper pour (and EVERYONE has an opinion).
While I, too, love raising a pint in Ireland, I find that no matter where I am, Guinness delivers on its brand promise…be it in Sydney, Cape Town or Hong Kong. In fact, Interbrand Design Director Rene Chen reports that Guinness is THE "black beer" in Hong Kong and is perceived as a cool, high-end foreign brand served in pubs, bars and clubs. Originally positioned as a masculine brand – Guinness even has a Chinese name, 健力士 (jiang li shi), which means "a very powerful and masculine man" – women in Hong Kong increasingly enjoy Guinness, in part because the brand is perceived as being healthier than other beers.
Unique Experience – The Guinness brand experience drives a visceral, interactive and expressive relationship with its consumers. The visceral relationship manifests itself by the excitement one feels when first encountering this brand; the beer's color, smell, the sound of its pour. The interactive relationship begins with the all-important opening ceremony: The pint arrives and the consumer…waits. Let me state that again: The consumer waits. The cascade of bubbles within the glass has to settle prior to that first magical sip from the glass; there has to be a perfect separation of liquid to creamy head of bubbles. The pint is inspected for a clean head, the glass is raised to the mouth, a sip is taken and the glass is returned to the countertop and inspected again.
The visceral and interactive relationships comprise a rich, robust brand experience which, when repeated, fosters consumer loyalty and drives an expressive relationship with the brand: If you are loyal to Guinness, you are eager to share the experience with others. In a bar, this relationship becomes obvious when other Guinness consumers subtly acknowledge the ritual first pour and reaffirm their exclusive club membership. (If you belong, you know what I mean.) What truly fascinates me, though, is the number and diversity of Guinness loyalists I meet and talk to. These are not your average "dudes" drinking some fashionable lager from a trendy, over-designed bottle; they are real people of all ages and backgrounds. For example, my grandmother once told me of a trip she made to Ireland with some girlfriends after the passing of my grandfather and how much she and her friends enjoyed spending an evening in the pub drinking Guinness. I was sharing my club membership with a lady of some 80+ years old! From a consumer segmentation perspective, how many brands can boast such a broad demographic?Jamey Wagner related a similar bonding experience he had at an Irish pub in San Francisco. The bartender was of Irish descent; when asked why she thought Guinness was so popular, she posited that it was due to consumer word of mouth and the love everyone has for "usquebaugh," which literally means "the water of life." I couldn't agree more.
Props to DiageoHaving acknowledged the power of Guinness' social network to propel the brand to glory, I also must give considerable credit to Guinness and its parent company, Diageo, for getting the beer's branding recipe precisely right. They make full use of Guinness' many assets and triggers to engage the consumer: history, storytelling, unique experience, tasteful merchandise and more.But the transition to brand stalwart has not always been easy. Prior to expanding the beer's distribution to include supermarkets, Guinness executives had to solve a true marketing conundrum: How do we get our unique experience out of the pubs and into consumers' homes? How can we replicate the thrill of the opening ceremony if the pour comes from a can or bottle instead of a tap?
Innovate and winAny brand that hopes to stand the test of time, to remain relevant and grow market share, has to embrace the process of innovation – and Guinness did. It was one of the first beer brands to develop a "widget" inside the can to activate the beer when air pressure punctured it. The technology seemed magical and impossible, but since it delivered on its promise, consumers maintained their trust in the brand. Guinness effectively bridged the gap between pub and home, the opening ceremony was repeated in living rooms around the world, and sales grew apace. Marketing genius!Whether it's a freshly poured pint, a unique slender bottle, or a slightly chilled can, holding a Guinness in your hand provides a unique experience that evokes heritage, membership and deep respect for a "real" beer. And with that first sip, you begin to feel that you, too, can be Irish for a few delicious moments. Let's raise a glass to this masterful brand. Cheers.

moravola — medieval modernism
21 Jun 2013
While I admit to an unhealthy fascination with hotels in general ( a la distance), and hotel bars in particular (in close proximity), there are very occasionally a few hotels that break through my hazy, pro-hotel glow and beg me to book a flight and a room. Moravola is one of those hotels.
Architect Christopher Chong and his wife, designer Seonaid Mackenzie bought the 9th century Torre di Moravola in 1999 — after it had been abandoned for 50 years.
The torre is obviously lovingly restored in a sort of "medieval modernism". The website for the hotel has, unexpectedly, a charming overview of the design process, and shows the work that was required to reconstruct ceilings, add stairs, and smooth walls; an intimate, behind-the-scenes touch that seems to presage an equally intimate stay. It's only open seasonally, but honestly, did you really want to go to Umbria in February?
Some images to wet your whistle:

I Refuse To Get Your Baby a Gift
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a Scrooge. I love this time of year. I like dressing up and going to holiday parties. I like overeating and overdrinking. I like buying presents for my friends and family. What I don't like is buying a present for your baby. I'll explain.
The Childless Bitch on Gift Giving
The Childless Bitch on Holiday Shopping
That's right: We single, childless gals are rockin' a hangover from a kickass post-Thanksgiving party (how was yours?) and will gladly leave the bizarre American middle-class Black Friday shopping to you. You can meet at Walmart at 4 in the morning. I am more than happy to let you have the quesadilla maker at 20 percent off. My gift to you.
Childless Bitch at the Beach
Everyone knows that the most important decision of any beach day is where to put down your towel. I make an effort to pick a quiet, isolated spot on the sand, but no matter where I sit, you and your troops invade and ATTACK!
I Am the Land of the Free -- Free of Children!
America, you certainly are the land of the brave. And I am the land of the free. Free of children!
Daddy Is the New Mommy
You people are reproducing. To borrow a phrase from "Jersey Shore," you're not just "smooshing," then popping something out nine months later. No, I'm talking more like Gremlins, when you pour water on them. You mommies are reproducing a new version of yourselves -- daddies!
I am about to get on a plane to travel cross-country. To plan for this painstaking day, I thought it would be appropriate to speak to the mothers of the world who will be joining me, along with their screaming, coughing, drooling children.

January 19, 2010
Photo by David Noe
A capacity audience filled the 400-seat Tiedtke Concert Hall on Thursday evening, January 14. They came to hear Wall Street Journal drama and cultural critic, biographer, and librettist Terry Teachout, discuss his new book, Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong. The first offering of Winter Park Institute's Spring Events Calendar, the evening also featured a jazz combo in the style of Louis Armstrong's Hot Seven.
This multimedia event, conceived by Jazz Artist-in-Residence, Chuck Archard, and Rollins College Director of Music, John Sinclair, also included several video clips of Armstrong performances. Teachout, a former professional jazz musician himself, was able to comprehend the complex personality of the musical genius known as "Pops," through the study of 160 reel-to-reel tapes revealing a personal and intimate side of Armstrong.
Sinclair labeled Teachout's book, "the most important new jazz resource in decades." He added that, "Because Louis Armstrong was so influential; this book not only illustrates his life, but the entire genre of jazz."
Armstrong, who lived during the first 70 years of the 21st Century, was able to overcome the racist attitudes and segregationist practices of the time and rise to stardom in popular music. Born into New Orleans poverty, Pops received his only formal musical education in reform school before taking a train to Chicago at age 21 to seek fame and fortune.
Between the excerpts that Teachout read from his book, the jazz combo played Armstrong tunes to further illustrate the written words. The local group of musicians featured Ed Metz, Jr. on the drums, Pat Gullotta on trombone, Davey Jones on cornet and vocals, Alan Vache on clarinet, Tom Hook on piano and vocals, and Charlie Silva on acoustic bass. Archard, who brought the musicians together, said it was an easy task because, "the Orlando area is rich with traditional jazz players and many of these musicians had played together before." The use of live musical interpretations of Armstrong's classic hits not only accentuated the key points of the lecture but provided lively musical interlude.
"America has never produced as significant an artist as Armstrong," said Teachout. "Louis Armstrong is as relevant today as he ever was and always will be." In fact, in 1964, Armstrong's recording of "Hello Dolly" knocked The Beatles off the top of the pop charts.
Teachout's presentation was the first of many integrated artist events planned in the next few months by the Winter Park Institute. Now in its second year, the Institute features discussions between the Rollins community and thought leaders from diverse fields who are invited for limited residencies. Seminars, lectures, readings, master classes, performances, open discussions, exhibits, and a variety of gatherings provide the forum for such exchanges. February brings renown pianist and conductor Leon Fleisher, and in March, poet Billy Collins, cartoonist Jules Feiffer and dramatist Marsha Norman. For details, visit www.winterparkinstitute.org.

Attention CJP volunteers! We have entered into new territory this year by transitioning to eFiling. We appreciate all of our volunteers very much and thank you all for helping us to make this transition, but we need your help, please! We have two requests of you to help the CJP make this shift.
First, when you come to a CJP clinic, please bring all of your eFiling provider's information with you including the site or access location of your provider, your username/logon and your password. Prior to the clinic, please set up a "waiver" account with your efiling service. You can do this in the same place you set up your payment method within your efiling provider. This allows for filing fees and court costs to be waived by the District Clerk when the case is filed. Setting this up prior to the clinic will ensure a smooth and quick filing on the evening you volunteer.
Finally, to keep our files up to date and comply with the requirements of our Federal funders, we kindly ask that when working on a CJP case you remember to let us know when a case has been filed by including the email@example.com email address in the field for courtesy copies in your eFiling provider's system, or you can email us the cause number and style information when you receive it. We thank you for being a CJP volunteer! If you have any questions about eFiling CJP cases, please email email@example.com.
The Community Justice Program ("CJP") is a collaborative effort by the San Antonio Bar Association and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid to provide free neighborhood-based legal services to individuals who may not otherwise have access to the legal system. It is alarming to realize that fewer than 20 percent of low-income residents of South Texas can obtain access to legal assistance when faced with a civil problem. That means that four out of five people arrive at the courthouse door to find that they cannot afford the price of admission. Through our volunteers' generous donation of their time, the CJP is striving to make a difference in those numbers.

The mission of the Community Justice Program is to support legal representation for indigent residents of San Antonio. A closely related purpose is to provide local attorneys with the opportunity to engage in pro bono work within a comprehensive and efficient clinic setting. The participation of attorneys and volunteers helps open the doors of the Courthouse to those in need. The CJP asks each volunteer to please come back each year and "Just Take One" pro bono case. With this motto and each case an attorney takes through the CJP, that many more Bexar County residents have received the important legal help they needed but could not afford. We welcome individual attorneys to volunteer, and we highly encourage firms or legal organizations to "adopt" a clinic night each year and send as many attorneys as they can. Knowing that we can count on a firm's yearly participation allows us to ensure that we can continue operating clinics on a regular schedule.

The CJP accepts uncontested civil matters including divorce, name changes, simple landlord/tenant disputes, probate matters and wills. Texas RioGrande Legal Aid prescreens each client before they come to the clinics to determine their eligibility for our program. Each client must be below certain federal poverty guidelines in order to be accepted by TRLA.
Currently, the CJP holds several types of legal clinics or "court" in various locations. The family law clinics are held at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid and the Wesley Community Center. These clinics provide complete legal service for uncontested civil matters (mostly simple, uncontested divorces) including attorneys, district clerks, notaries, interpreters, support staff, and judges (all working on a volunteer basis). The first neighborhood clinic met at the Carver Academy on San Antonio's east side in October of 2002. This clinic was relocated in June 2007 to the Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) offices near downtown. The second CJP clinic opened on San Antonio's west side at St. Mary's University's Center for Legal and Social Justice in April of 2003. On January 24, 2006 the CJP opened its third clinic on San Antonio's south side at the Wesley Community Center.
The clinics at St. Mary's Center for Legal & Social Justice are our Wills Clinics, which provide wills and ancillary documents for low-income individuals. We are pleased to have recently added two new, different kinds of clinics. The Veterans Clinic at the Audie L. Murphy Veterans Hospital serves indigent veterans in an advice-only setting about a wide variety of legal issues. This clinic also prepares wills for the veterans. The Special Education clinic is an advice-only clinic for parents of special needs children that are trying to understand their rights when navigating the school system.
To date, we have matched more than 6,000 pro bono cases to volunteer attorneys.
What to expect as a CJP Volunteer
The program is designed to allow attorneys from any area of practice the opportunity to participate. This is possible because of dedicated mentors who are assigned to each clinic. These mentors are experts in their area of practice and guide the attorneys through their cases from start to finish and are available at the clinic as well as via phone and email afterwards.
There is an Attorney Information Handout packet that comes in each case file. This provides useful and valuable resources for completing your case. The client case file will have all of your initial pleadings drafted for you, as well as a pro bono retainer agreement, case information sheet and the affidavit of indigence which waives all filing and service fees as well as court costs. We strive to have every document you will need ready for you in your file. You will be able to file your case that night at the clinic with our district clerks and paralegals are on hand to make any necessary changes to your document.
One of our judges will review your packets and case files with you page by page in an orientation the night of the clinic. We have every sample document that you might need throughout your case and an army of people to assist with any aspect you may need help on.
Through Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, each attorney is covered by a $1 million errors and omissions policy. As a CJP volunteer, you are also entitled to receive 5.0 free hours of CLE (which includes 1.0 hour of ethics). Our clinics begin at 5:30 p.m. and are usually finished no later than 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted as an afternoon clinic, and refreshments will be served.

Georgia Blamed for Swine Fever in Russia
MOSCOW, April 9 (RIA Novosti)
Related News
Russia's chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko said on Monday the recent outbreak of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in South Russia was a result of "economic subversion" by Georgia.
"ASFV came to us from Georgia. It first appeared in Ossetia, and then spread to the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories. [The outbreak] shows signs of being an artificially created situation. This is an act of economic subversion that the Krasnodar Territory has been unable to tackle for three years," Onishchenko said.
Swine fever outbreaks can seriously impair the animal breeding industry because the disease can neither be treated nor prevented by vaccination. The entire stock of pigs in an affected location has to be culled in order to contain the virus.
Since 2007 the swine fever virus was detected in 254 locations in 24 Russian regions. More than 440,000 pigs have since been culled to prevent the disease from spreading.
African swine fever, or Montgomery's disease, was first reported in Africa in 1903. Both domestic and wild animals can become infected when they come into contact with sick animals. The virus does not affect humans.

The signing of Bilateral Security Agreement between Kabul and Washington was necessary for stemming the tide of the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, however, it gives no guarantees, believes Bradley Moss, national security lawyer.

The British experience can be instructive for Russia. London retains its British Commonwealth if it wants to use this as a foundation for integration in the future. That's a valuable lesson for Russian experts who are calling for an end to "ineffective" associations like the CIS, the Russian World and others.

GENERIC NAME: butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine
BRAND NAME: Alagesic LQ, Capacet, Dolgic Plus, Esgic, Esgic-Plus, Fioricet, Dolgic LQ, Ezol, Geone, Margesic, Nonbac, Orbivan, Repan, Zebutal
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine is a combination product used for treating headache.
Butalbital is a narcotic that depresses the central nervous system.
Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It is the active compound in Tylenol. Acetaminophen relieves pain by elevating the pain threshold, that is, by requiring a greater amount of pain to develop before a person feels it. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-regulating center of the brain. Specifically, it tells the center to lower the body's temperature when the temperature is elevated.
Caffeine has pain relieving properties and may boost the action of other pain relievers by mechanisms that are not well understood. It may reduce the activity of pain sensing nerves in the brain. The FDA approved butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine in November 1984.
Patients taking combination drugs of butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine should review the patient safety information such as specific side effects, drug interactions, and pregnancy safety for each of these drugs.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
STORAGE: Alagesic LQ is stored at room temperature between 20 C to 25 C (68 F to 77 F). Butalbital / acetaminophen / caffeine containing tablets and capsules should be stored between 15 C to to30 to C (59 F to to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine is used for complex of tension or muscle contraction headaches.
Adults and children of 12 years of age and older
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine should not be used with MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) like phenelzine (Nardil) and selegiline (Emsam) because they can significantly increase central nervous system effects of butalbital and increased blood levels of caffeine.
Butalbital can increase the effects of narcotic pain killers, alcohol, sedative or hypnotic medications, and other medications that depress the central nervous system. Loss of consciousness, troubled breathing, lowered heart rate, coma, and in severe cases death can occur.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies done on butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine to determine its safe and effective use in pregnant women.

Tropical Hardwood Pedestal Table 19 19
A surprise find We've been searching for a "bistro" table that is big enough for two people to use at meal times yet not so big that it takes up the entire patio or porch. This table is the perfect size, and its slatted top allows for spills or rain to pass through without ponding on the table and causing deterioration. The chairs are remarkably comfortable and are big enough for larger folks but not so big that they engulf the space. We also like the faux rattan seat and back, which provides a softer surface than wood. In fact, we were so impressed that we tried to order two more chairs, but they had doubled in price. (We bought the set for under $100, which was a fabulous deal.) June 26, 2014
Good Quality I looked in a lot of places for a nice, affordable dining set for my deck and this one is perfect. It is a good size for a small deck and it looks great. It seems sturdy but the only concern I have is that the chairs won't hold up as they were extremely difficult to put together and some of the screws did not go in all of the way. The table was also extremely difficult to put together; I had to use a rubber hammer to get the pieces to interlock. I wish I would have known that ahead of time. Overall, seems like a good product for the price. June 16, 2014
Great hardwood outdoor table and so easy to install This is a small hardwood table with an attractive wood design on the top. Flat base, with (4) plastic glides. The table is fairly light-weight, compared to something made out of pine or pressure-treated pine. I'd compare it to redwood or cedar in weight. Assembling it was easy and all I needed was a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied hex tool. Of note: The table is unfinished (eucalyptus#, which has a red-ish tone to the natural wood, which will age to a silvery-gray. I decided to protect the wood and the color by coating the table with teak oil #2 coats), which gave it a satin finish, repels water, and keeps the table from turning gray. To keep it the original color, will probably have to recoat it every year or two, but the finished look is exceptional. Last thing: Easier to oil it BEFORE you assemble it; that way you can get the oil into all the exposed cuts needed to make the pieces of the table fit together. April 25, 2014
Great table and chairs Table and chairs are a great deal for the money & look like they cost double the price. Would have given 5 stars but chairs would be more sturdy with center support for legs. I am installing a center support to strengthen the chairs. Would recommend set as it is definitely worth the money.. March 28, 2014

Image: The famous 'Afghan Girl cover from National Geographic, 1985
SanDisk has announced that Steve McCurry, photographer of the iconic 'Afghan Girl' and scores of other famous images, has been inducted into its Extreme Team Legends Program.
The program was created to honour photographers who have made major contributions to the art of photography throughout their careers. McCurry joins two previous inductees, sports photographers Walter Iooss and Akito Mizutani.
McCurry was presented with the honour at the National Geographic 125th Anniversary event in Øksnehallen, Copenhagen. Adorning the walls were more than 110 National Geographic covers from years gone by including, of course, the Afghan Girl cover from 1985 (top).
Taken in Peshwan, Afghanistan, the photograph turned into one of the most recognisable magazine covers ever put to print, eventually inspiring McCurry to track the girl down some 17 years later.
The announcement also kicked off a social media competition hosted by SanDisk to find the next inductee into the Extreme Legends program, for which McCurry will be one of the judges. The winner will be announced at the PhotoPlus International Conference and Expo in New York October 24, 2013. In the meantime you can head to SanDisk's Facebook page to find out more about it.

The good news: The federal government comes through with a $22-million grant restoring 108 of the 164 Detroit firefighters laid off earlier this week. The bad news: Public safety in the city is still facing extreme cuts with no plan to make things better.Detroit Police officer Christine Thomas and her partner helped bring little Siri into the world late Saturday night when they saw her mother laboring on the side of a Detroit road."That night I would've been in serious trouble, I believe, had they not been there for me," said Kendra Coleman."She looks wonderful. I'm glad that I was right there," said Thomas.But now with impending cuts to public safety, children like Siri may not be so lucky."We have to do more work even with lower pay because we're being told that we got to ride the buses to keep the bus drivers safe. We got to look at the party stores and the gas stations, plus answer runs, so we don't have time to investigate anything. We have to just do reports, be secretaries on the street," Thomas said.Now the drastic budget cuts are supposed to take effect on Sunday, except the police union has it tied up temporarily in court. If they do go through, here is what you can expect. The police will show up to work and do it by the book. That means if a guy's got a suspended license, he's going to be arrested, brought to the precinct and processed. That takes three hours. That means there will be no police patrolling the streets. How's that supposed to work?"You can't cut your way out of this problem. First of all, you've got to improve city services. That's the goal, right? And Dave Bing took office saying that's what he wanted to do, but the way to do that is to get these efficiencies, stop paying for things that we can't afford and start paying for the things we're supposed to do, and he hasn't done it," said Detroit Free Press Editorial Page Editor Stephen Henderson."There's no plan. It's crisis management. Whatever pops up we're going to deal with today," said DFFA President Dan McNamara."We need more officers, not less officers. People need help out here," Coleman said.Who's in charge of public safety in Detroit? Deputy Mayor Kirk Lewis. I wanted to ask him who is making all these decisions, but I couldn't get a hold of him. I will, though, I promise, because it's a matter of life and death.

(WMC-TV) - Shelby County remains in a state of emergency Saturday evening. Mayor Mark Luttrell, Jr. issued a state of emergency Friday for Shelby County as a result of icy conditions on the roads.
In addition to Shelby County, a state of emergency was issued for Tennessee and Arkansas ahead of the storm Thursday.
Emergency management officials say they are keeping a close eye on conditions and fear the worst is yet to come.
They say when storms like this come in waves, the second round can be much worse because of what is already on the ground.
They also suggest that the ground was much warmer when yesterday's storm hit, and the next round could make it easier for roads to ice over.
"We may or may not have 'stickability ' – if you will. So the message is this since you'll want to get out and do some things: It ain't over yet," said Shelby County Emergency Management Director Bob Nations.
Officials say if you do not have somewhere important to bet then do not get out and drive.
Emergency workers recommend if the power goes out keep plenty of blankets around. Do not use a generator indoors including the garage. Click here for numbers to call if in an emergency.
