Another one down, one more to go.
On last week's Revenge, Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) finally got the thing she's wanted most: Conrad Grayson (Henry Czerny) behind bars for (inadvertently) admitting to being responsible for the bomb on Flight 197. But Emily isn't satisfied yet. As she told Conrad, much to his approval, Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) will be taken down next. But will Victoria figure out the truth about Emily before she can enact her revengenda?
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Sunday's midseason finale of Revenge. Read at your own risk!]
Payback is a bloody bitch for Revenge's Emily Thorne.
Revenge's Daniel Grayson has been imprisoned, repeatedly betrayed, replaced in his mother's heart by a brother he didn't know existed, and now his new wife has been shot — which leaves a mentally exhausted Josh Bowman wondering if enough's enough.

In a glass-framed Palos Verdes, Calif., chapel on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the cast of ABC's Revenge has gathered for the wedding of Emily Rebecca Thorne (Emily VanCamp) and Daniel Edward Grayson (Josh Bowman), which will air on the Dec. 15 midseason finale. "From the moment we met, I knew this was in our destiny," the bride tells her betrothed in front of a congregation that includes best man Conrad (Henry Czerny) and maid of honor Charlotte (Christa B. Allen). "Thanks for letting me into your life...into your family. Today we share a bond that's unbreakable. Till death parts us..."
Wow! I never saw that coming. On the Nov. 17 episode of Revenge, Amber Valletta's Lydia Davis returned from the dead after presumably perishing in a plane crash at the end of Season 1. Turns out no one was more surprised that Valletta, who was given no indication that Lydia would ever return after shooting her last episode in early 2012.

FBI is being sued by Juggalos, fans of Insane Clown Posse. ACLU press conference. Still wearing the paint. pic.twitter.com/0TqZYBgLYD— Khalil AlHajal (@detroitkhalil) January 8, 2014
By ED WHITE
DETROIT (AP) — The Insane Clown Posse is suing the U.S. Justice Department over a 2011 FBI report that depicts the rap-metal duo's devoted fans, the Juggalos, as a dangerous gang.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Detroit federal court on behalf of the group's two members, Joseph Bruce, or Violent J, and Joseph Utsler, or Shaggy 2 Dope. It also names four fans as plaintiffs.
The lawsuit contends that the description of the Juggalos as a "loosely organized hybrid gang" in a national report on gangs violated the plaintiffs' rights. The group says its fans are a family, not a gang.
Scott Gandy, who is one of the four fans who are suing, says he was forced to remove Insane Clown Posse tattoos to apply for the Army.

Primary Care, Newtown, is a member of the CHOP Care Network. We are committed to providing the highest quality care for your children.
Our practice consists of four physicians and one nurse practitioner. Learn about each of our providers»
Pediatricians are available to discuss ongoing medical and behavioral issues. Because our pediatricians are with patients in the office, answers to acute questions should be directed to our triage nurses by calling 215-968-6844 and pressing option 1 to speak with a nurse.
If you want to discuss a non-urgent matter with your pediatrician, this can be initiated during office hours with our nursing staff by requesting a non-acute call from your pediatrician.
When such a request is made, please be sure to tell us the best times to reach you—day and evening. Also include multiple phone numbers (home, work, cell) as appropriate. Requests should not be related to any matter that cannot safely wait over several days.
All of our physicians are board-certified pediatricians. They are active members of the medical staff for our local community hospitals, Saint Mary Medical Center and Lower Bucks Hospital. Our pediatricians are available to provide care for infants in the newborn nursery at both of these institutions. If you have questions concerning such care and would like to meet with a physician, we offer two "Meet the Doctor" sessions a month. Please call our office for dates and times. These sessions are also available for parents of children of any age who are interested in our practice.
For children and adolescents requiring hospital admission, we maintain close contact with the pediatric staff at all of the local pediatric hospitals. Historically, most of our patients choose to use the facilities of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia or Saint Mary Medical Center, which has a pediatric emergency room.
Our nursing staff is trained to answer routine questions concerning childcare and common illnesses. Our nurses are available by phone Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
When you call, the nurse will help you determine the best approach for your child, whether it is phone advice or an appointment with a provider. For more complex problems, the nurses consult with the pediatricians. If you need more than one child seen, please let us know when you schedule the sick visit.
Our practice manager is available to discuss concerns or questions regarding the practice. Our practice manager is responsible for making recommendations for improvements and maintaining a positive and productive relationship with our patients, staff and our pediatricians.
Our receptionists will greet you at our front desk, assist you with making appointments and direct you to the most helpful person for any insurance or billing questions. They can assist with any referral/insurance questions.

Could Good Health Be Contagious?
Nov 18, 2013, 6:00 PM, Posted by Pioneer Blog Team
A study released this week at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions provides early evidence indicating that social networks can be leveraged to spread good health. The study, which is the first long-term randomized trial of its kind in the U.S., recruited friends and families in rural Kentucky into "microclinic" social network clusters. Together, the microclinic groups attended weekly social events, such as physical activity sessions and nutrition classes. Collectively called Team Up 4 Health, these activities were supported with gifts from Humana, a health care company focused on wellness, as well as funding from the Mulago Foundation and the Goldsmith Foundation. Microclinic members lost more weight and more inches from their waistlines than those who received standard individual care. Microclinic participants sustained these results over time, lasting beyond the 10-month program period to even six months later.

The Black Widow Drum Web is not just a drum mat. It's a great functional drum accessory for every drummer; conveniently ready to go in a cymbal or gear bag any time it's needed; any playing situation; it's been tested on ICE, concrete, hard wood stages, anywhere.

...last weekend's Winter NAMM Show afforded us the first opportunity to take a close look at this
uniquely design drum mat. And "mat" is a much better term than "rug" in this case, since the
material is considerably thinner and more lightweight than most carpets on the market
designed to prevent drum kit slippage. This adds up to a much more portable unit that,
based on our demo, appears to work really well – thanks to the miracle of Velcro!

Barrister Book Buddies
At its organizational meeting in the Summer of 1998, the Board of the Roanoke Bar Association resolved to study and undertake a community service project during the upcoming bar year. At subsequent Board meetings, a number of ideas were discussed and at the suggestion of one member, a representative of the Roanoke City Public Schools was approached.
The Board members learned of the importance of reading to obtaining good scores on Standards of Learning tests. The Board also learned that those students who are not reading on grade level by the third grade are never likely to read on level. Last, the Board learned of the Roanoke City Public Schools' implementation of a comprehensive reading plan to improve reading in all grades.
In the Spring of 1999, Barrister
Book Buddies was born. Initially implemented during summer school,
the program continues today throughout the school year. RBA members
and staff volunteer to read one hour a month to an elementary school class.
James N. Kincanon and Jane S. Glenn Scholarships
The Roanoke Law Foundation awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors or students attending a four-year college, university or law school. The students must demonstrate diligence in and commitment to their studies, academic excellence, and an interest in the pursuit of the study of law. Applicants must be residents of the City of Roanoke , the City of Salem , or the County of Roanoke , or have graduated from a high school located in those jurisdictions. For more information, call (540) 342-4905 or visit www.roanokebar.com/scholarship.html .
In 2014 the Roanoke Bar Association is implemented the Peace of Mind Project, which provides free estate documents for first responders in Roanoke. RBA members who specialize in estate planning have been asked to prepare basic wills, advanced medical directives, and powers of attorney for firefighters and police officers who put their lives on the line every day for the citizens in our community. The 2014 Peace of Mind Project will concentrate on firefighters who have graduated from the two most recent Roanoke City Fire Department academies.

I had a few spare days, and this is the outcome. First flash in a long long time. Anyway, its a fairly simple game.... though the controls may seem weird at first.
Also, the game has a few glitches when it comes to the walls. Hit them at a certain angle, and they'll send you flying forward. Depending on your orientation, that may mean out of the track.
Also, for those who feel that its too slow for a F-zero game (and I admit...it kinda is), be sure to check out the HYPER MODE. It's a little tech demo thingy where you can pilot the machine at a higher speed. The reason I didn't make the whole game like that was to avoid collision problems and more glitches.
Anyways, hope you like it.

This game is OK, but it isn't F-Zero
This game is an OK racing game for a few day's dev time, but there's lots missing that would have been in an F-Zero game. No car-to-car combat for example- F-Zero 64 had three different combat moves [left and right bumps and a spin] and your game has none. Also, bumping into the walls should bring down an energy meter, which should also be the fuel for a boost. The tracks need to be longer or loops as well. It would be nice if the game had the engine start thing from FZ 64, where you got a speed boost of up to 5 kph from starting at the right time.

Hotel CongressCozy rooms, great bar, ghosts, gangsters … there are plenty of reasons to spend a night in Tucson's classic old hotel.
By Edie Jarolim
When it opened its doors in 1919, Tucson's Hotel Congress was regaled for its grandeur and praised for its modern comforts. Its fame didn't extend far beyond Arizona, however. Located across the road from the Southern Pacific depot, it was just one of the many upscale lodgings in the West that rode the railroad boom into existence. Not until January 23, 1934, when a fire led to the capture of John Dillinger, did the hotel and the sleepy city it was in grab the nation's attention.
John Dillinger, America's "most wanted," never slept at the Congress, but two members of his gang, Charles Makely and Russell Clark, had registered there under false names. Forced to evacuate the burning building, the pair tried to return to their rooms to grab their valises, but were forbidden access. Distraught, Makely and Clark offered two firemen a reward to retrieve their bags. The firefighters complied, hauling down the gangsters' heavy luggage — later found to contain $23,816 in cash and several Tommy guns.
In the process, the jittery out-of-towners aroused the suspicions of the firemen, who decided to do some sleuthing. Combing through photos in True Detective magazine, one of them recognized Clark. The hunt was on — and quickly over. Without firing a shot, the cops in the "hick town" of Tucson had accomplished what several state police forces and the FBI had failed to do: Put the cuffs on Dillinger.
In the hallway behind the Cup Café, today's visitors to the downtown landmark can view photos of the players in this cops-and-robbers drama.
But the Hotel Congress had far more going for it than the occasional gangster guest. In the 1930s and '40s, for example, its Tap Room was the favorite haunt of rodeo cowboy and artist Pete Martinez. His nationally renowned Western scenes — New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia was among his early celebrity collectors — still hang on the walls of this atmospheric watering hole. Contrary to rumor, however, Martinez didn't settle his booze tab with his art; he donated the pieces because he liked the bar and enjoyed his drinking partners. The hotel inspired generosity in later artists, too. In 1989, Larry Boyce arrived on a bicycle from San Francisco and volunteered to paint the lobby with the distinctive Southwest Deco designs that are still there today.
The Congress pays homage to its history in many ways. The rooms still boast many pieces of their original furniture, as well as vintage radios, windows that open and steam heat in winter. A handout available at the front desk — behind which you can glimpse the same switchboard used to alert guests to the 1934 fire — notes that four of the rooms also offer a different type of blast from the past: ghosts, several of whom are described in rather specific detail. Room 214, for example, often plays host to a "little man, nicely dressed in a seersucker suit." And the annual Dillinger Days in January celebrate the hotel's claim to fame with re-enactments of the capture.
Nevertheless, the Congress is far from living in the past. The Cup Café, a popular Tucson gathering spot, dishes up delicious contemporary fare. And Club Congress, dubbed one of the top 10 rock venues in the country, is a hub for hipsters of all ages. Today's outlaws might carry guitars, not guns, and the heat might be generated by dancing, not a conflagration, but the hotel still gets pretty fired up.

Seeing people as people
Topics: Arts & Media, Crime & Justice, Demographics, Politics & Government, Racial Issues, Worldview
I suppose you could argue that everyone here including Gina was a part of "the press" directly or indirectly.
Touche, Ellen!
Interesting phrase: "the press' problem." The identity group "The Press" or "The Media" is also composed of individuals.
I don't know about press in general but I do get the impression that it is common to divide people into "oppressed groups" and "oppressor groups" which is degrading to the first because it taints all with the sins of a few. And degrading to the second because it reduces their purpose into a means of flattering the sanctimoniousness of their supposed advocates and implies that they must always be oppressed. After all, if they cease being oppressed they must be assumed to be oppressors.
Aside from being distasteful it is illogical as everyone belongs to dozens of categories and so is both oppressed and oppressor.
Gina, you are correct. However, I believe the primary reason is greedy self-interest. Of course, if you dig down deep enough, you come to the fact that you have to despise or deny the humanity of the people you take advantage of before you take advantage.
I missed a chance to hear Condoleezza Rice in person, and I'm still upset about it. If Thomas Sowell or Colin Powell or Clarence Thomas were in town, I'd do all in my power to hear them.
But, as you say, Gina, I just named individuals.
Derb won a Pyrrhic victory, proving that "the talk" is acceptable only if it comes from a favored race. Primary, though, he showed the end result of godless materialism, how it destroys the cohesion a society needs.
The press, and the opportunistic "leadership" of the black community (who have done little to nothing to help their community, but have exploited them instead), are making the same mistake. They're mixing anecdotes and half-baked statistics in order to divide, for their own selfish purposes. A pity they won't also get fired.
How does one go about seeing people as "individuals"? If they are not members of a specific group, they will in fact be seen as "part of an undefined crowd".
But I think your first reason is related to the problem Scalia identified. The idea that all encounters are racially based could easily stem from a tendency to see all people solely as group members.
I don't think that is really the root of why the press has manipulated the coverage of Trayvon Martin's death. I think the real root is two-fold. The first is a pre-disposed idea that all encounters between people are racially-based. The second is the more important: a cynical determination to do whatever it takes to boost ratings. Controversy and antagonism boost ratings. Controversy that breeds more antagonism is ideal from their viewpoint.

The UXO problem that still plagues Europe
Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam services 48 million people a year.
It's also been hiding a gigantic unexploded World War II bomb beneath Terminal C.
Peter Allen of the Dailymail reports that builders "digging around" uncovered the device deep underground — and one can only wonder what the workers' initial reaction sounded like. The terminal was closed, needless to say, and Army bomb disposal units arrived on the scene.

Food Allergy
- Thursday, April 22, 2004
Because of an ear infection, my young son, Joshua, had to go to the pediatrician.
I was impressed with the way the doctor directed his comments and questions to my son.
When he asked Joshua, "Is there anything you are allergic to?" Joshua nodded and whispered in his ear.
Smiling, the pediatrician wrote out a prescription and handed it to me. Without looking at it, I tucked it into my wallet.
Later, the pharmacist filled the order, remarking on the unusual food-drug interaction my son must have.
When he saw my puzzled expression, he showed me the label on the bottle.
As per the doctor's instructions, it read:
"Do not take with broccoli."

By Deena CentofantiFox 2 NewsSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- So many of you were touched by little Bradley Moore, Junior even though most of you haven't met him. Our story about the desperate search to find a bone marrow match for him triggered a huge response.Six-month-old Bradley was seemingly perfectly healthy when he was born, but at his four month check up, doctors discovered an enlarged liver and spleen. It turns out he has a very rare form of leukemia. The only thing that will save him is a bone marrow transplant.After searching and waiting, a match was made. Now Bradley is scheduled to have the transplant before Christmas."Bradley would then remain in the hospital until the new cells have had a chance to home in to the new bone marrow environment and have had enough chance to grow. Typically that whole process involves on the average about a four to six week hospitalization," said Dr. Gregory Yanick with University of Michigan Mott's Children's Hospital.We are going to continue to follow Bradley's progress for you.After hearing his story, many of you wanted to help by registering with the National Marrow Donor Program. You can still do that and possibly help the thousands of others who are right now waiting for a match. Learn how at www.bethematch.org.You can also join Fox 2 and Art Van on December 28 for a special blood and bone marrow drive at the furniture retailer's store in Warren.

Most composers are musicians first. But for Donnacha Dennehy, who is serving as composer-in-residence with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra during its 2013-14 season, playing and composing emerged simultaneously.
"I started composing the second I started music," said the 42-year-old Irishman, who began his life in music at about age 9. "Music wasn't in my family at all. But my father was a writer. He wrote radio plays. And so I thought I should be able to write music like he wrote words."
Symphony patrons will have the opportunity to see how that worked out for Dennehy when the orchestra performs the Dublin native's song cycle for soprano and orchestra, That the Night Come, in a set of three performances beginning Friday. The work is a setting of six poems by early 20th-century Irish poet W.B. Yeats.
"Yeats is a poet that we grow up with in Ireland. His poetry is in your bloodstream," said Dennehy, who is currently a visiting professor at Princeton. "So I chose poems [for this work] that resonated deeply with me. I had a strong emotional response to those texts. They reveal some of these obsessions of Yeats. Things like his anger at time fleeting, and the lack of permanence in life."
Upshaw connection
That the Night Come certainly has an impressive heritage. The 2010 composition was commissioned by Dawn Upshaw, one of America's best known and loved sopranos. The renowned singer played an indirect role in getting Dennehy to Fort Worth.
"I met Donnacha when I was conducting in Dublin a year and a half ago. And, at the time, I was looking for our composer-in-residence for the 2013-14 season," said Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra music director Miguel Harth-Bedoya, who also will be leading the orchestra in works by Richard Strauss. "His name had been brought up by composer Osvaldo Golijov and soprano Dawn Upshaw some time before. It was just a great coincidence that I met him in Dublin then, and immediately got to know his music in depth."
Dennehy, who has studied at the University of Illinois and in France, as well as his homeland, said that he considers himself to be "a kind of intercultural melting pot." But he stresses that his studies in this country were especially important in shaping his style.
"I came to America as a grad student in the 1990s and I was very influenced by American minimal music and post-minimal music," said Dennehy, who has also composed a work for the famously edgy Kronos string quartet.
Harth-Bedoya says he thinks audiences will find that Dennehy's work offers a fresh yet accessible sound.
"His music is different than our past composers-in-residence. He, like the others, has a unique musical voice. But his music is also very user-friendly," said the maestro via email from Oslo, where he was conducting the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.
First time in Texas
The title "composer-in-residence" is a bit of a misnomer in Dennehy's case. He will neither create new works nor live here over the coming symphony season. Rather, he will be a featured contemporary composer, with three of his works being offered on symphony programs.
Despite his years of study in this country, he will be making his first trip to Texas when he comes to town for the performances of this piece next weekend.
"I imagine that steak in Texas is really good," he said, in response to a question about his priorities as a Lone Star first-timer.
The highly diverse program for the three concerts, which will open the symphony's regular subscription season, features the Dennehy work (featuring soprano Jessica Rivera); Fuquoi in the Sugar Cane, by 20th-century South African composer Henry Lissant-Collins; and the suite from Der Rosenkavalier and the tone poem Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, both by Strauss.

When a person's ability to take care of himself/herself is weakened, even simple tasks such as moving or lifting a finger are difficult. These impairment problems include issues in balance, sensation, endurance, muscle coordination, and strength.
In this situation, the role of the occupational therapy assistant is important. He or she is a key person in assisting the patient towards recovery. An occupational therapy assistant, therefore, is a qualified person who helps the occupational therapist.
If you are thinking of a career in the field of occupational therapy, consider being an occupational therapy assistant. The rewards of being one are many from ease of finding a job to receiving an attractive salary. In addition, you get the personal satisfaction of helping a patient regain cognitive and motor coordination.
Job Description
The duties of an occupational therapy assistant include the following functions:
- Assist in the rehabilitation of patients with physical, mental, and cognitive impairment.
- Implement the treatment plan drawn up together with the occupational therapist; these activities include teaching patients to regain loss of mobility or motor skills through special exercises.
- Monitor the patient's progress by recording entries.
- Prepare bills of the patient related to the treatment program for submission to the health insurance provider.
- Provide clerical assistance as needed.
- Associate degree
A person who wishes to become an occupational therapy assistant must receive an associate degree (AD) from a recognized institution that runs accredited programs. This degree may be awarded by a community, technical, or junior college. To fulfill the requirements, the institution must be accredited with the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE). This accreditation is essential so that the candidate is able to take the national certifying exam.
An associate degree requires completing at least 60 units of academic credits for two years. The first year of study will usually cover subjects such as health care, anatomy, and physiology. During the second year, course subjects are on mental health, gerontology, pediatrics, and adult physical disabilities in addition to 16 weeks of fieldwork.
Licensing, Registration, and Certification
Each state in the US has different laws when it comes to practicing as an occupational therapy assistant. DC, Guam, Puerto Rico and 40 states require some sort of regulation such as licensing and registration. On the other hand, certification is voluntary although sitting and passing the ACOTE exam give solid proof that a person is fully certified to work as an occupational therapy assistant.
Continuing Education
In all cases, taking continuing education classes such as workshops and seminars relevant to occupational therapy is a requisite in keeping the certification.
Physical Requirements
A person who works as an occupational therapy assistant must have 'moderate' physical strength as many of the tasks involve lifting, stooping, bending, and helping patients get on their feet. Without physical strength, it is difficult to keep up with the job.
Well-paying jobs
According to the Occupational Employment Statistics Data (May 2010), there are 27,720 jobs filled as occupational therapy assistants. The median wage is at $51,010 per annum but based on statistics, an occupational therapy assistant can earn as much as $70,790 a year. 10% of these workers earned $33,110 annually while 25% had gross incomes of $25,540. Roughly 75% earned $60,610 a year.
US states that have the highest number of people employed as occupational therapy assistants are Ohio, Massachusetts, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island. Among urban areas, the biggest employers are Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Dallas, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, Houston, and Cincinnati. Salaries are at the highest in Nevada, Texas, New Jersey, Maryland, and California.
Healthy Job Market
The market for occupational therapy assistants is growing each year with an estimated 44,800 jobs created and filled by 2018, signifying a 30% increase. The prospect for the sector looks very bright and promising.
Job requirements and qualifications are not enormous. Two years of education and training is not that long and there are plenty of schools that offer courses at reasonable prices. Those with significant work experience will have the best chances of landing lucrative jobs. Even if you are new to the field, odds are high that you'll get a good paying and secure occupation.
Given the job market outlook, occupational therapy has a bright future. If you are considering a new occupation or a career change, think about becoming an occupational therapy assistant.

|Göktaş C et al, 2012: The effect of citrate replacement in hypocitraturic cases on the results of SWL: a preliminary prospective randomized study
Göktaş C, Horuz R, Akça O, Cetinel CA, Cangüven O, Kafkaslı A, Albayrak S, Sarıca K
Kartal Training Hospital, Urology Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey
PURPOSE: To evaluate the possible effects of citrate replacement on the efficacy of shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in the management of kidney stones in cases with hypocitraturia.
METHODS: Forty hypocitraturic cases with renal pelvic stones were randomized into two groups; while citrate replacement has been done before and at the time of SWL in Study Group I (n: 20), SWL was performed without any additional specific management for hypocitraturia in Study Group II (n: 20). Twenty normocitraturic cases were also chosen as the control group (Group III). Data of the patients were evaluated comparatively.
RESULTS: Patient, stone, and urinary pH characteristics of the groups were similar. Pre-SWL urinary citrate levels were 0.71 (0.1-1.3), 0.86 (0.1-1.4), and 3.12 (1.8-4.4) mmol/24 h in Group I, II, and III, respectively. Urinary citrate value increased from 0.71 (0.1-1.3) to 1.96 (1.6-4.1) mmol/24 h following replacement therapy (before and at the time of SWL) in Group I. Mean number of SW (p = 0.461), rate of stone-street formation (p = 0.146), and Double-J placement (p = 0.291) were similar in Group I and Group II. While the mean number of SWL sessions (2.27 ± 0.71 in Group I vs. 2.94 ± 0.59 in Group II; p = 0.027), and time to stone-free status [29.1 (16-47) days in Group I vs. 38.4(21-63) days in Group II; p = 0.043], was significantly different between study groups, these parameters were found similar between Group I and Group III.
CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the patients with hypocitraturia, who did receive replacement therapy, tended to require lower number of SWL sessions and became stone free in a shorter period than the others who underwent SWL without any specific management of hypocitraturia.
Int Urol Nephrol. 2012 Oct;44(5):1357-62. doi: 10.1007/s11255-012-0190-4. Epub 2012 May 12
PMID: 22581424 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
The total duration of the citrate replacement is not given. The stone fragments were analysed but the stone analysis is lacking. The number of ESWL sessions seems to be high
Group I Group II Group III
Stone size (mm) 12.5 ± 2.1 13.2 ± 3.4 14.4 ± 2.7
Urinary pH : 5.28 (5–5.5) 5.33 (5–5.5) 5.4 (5–6)
Success rates (stone-free status)
1. Session 2/20 1/20 1/20
2. Session 6/20 4/20 4/20
3. Session 18/20 16/20 15/20
4. Session (re-SWL) 19/20 18/20 18/20
It is difficult to imagine how citrate should be working. The authors quote a publication that "has shown that micro-hardness and fragility of calciumoxalate monohydrate and phosphate stones can be significantly influenced by the pH values of their fluid environments." In the present study the urinary pH was not significantly different in the 3 groups. In the paper quoted, the hardness of whewellite stones was only changed in stones exposed 12 hours to a pH of 9.5

B vitamins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from B vitamin complex)
The B vitamin complex (also called B vitamins) are a group of 8 vitamins. They have an important job in the metabolism of cells. Originally, people thought they were just different forms of one vitamin (like with Vitamin D, for example). Later it turned out that they are separate vitamins that often can be found together. Vitamin B deficiencies such as:[source?]
- mental problems
- heart palpitations
- heart arrhythmias
- exhaustion
- paranoia, vague fears, fear that something dreadful is about to happen, nervousness, ADD (attention deficiency), inability to concentrate
- thoughts of dying
- frustration
- inability to sleep
- restlessness
- tingling in hands
- tingling fingers and toes
- crying spells, inability to cope
- soreness all over
They are Vitamin B1/Thiamine, Vitamin B2/Riboflavin, Vitamin B3/Vitamin P/Vitamin PP/Niacin,Vitamin B5/Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7/Vitamin H/Biotin, Vitamin B9/Vitamin M/Vitamin B-c/Folic acid and Vitamin B12/Cyanocobalamin.

NORFOLK — The court-martial of Senior Chief Navy Diver (EXW/SW) James Burger, the former Navy master diver accused of dereliction of duty in the deaths of two of his divers last February, kicked off this week with two marathon days of courtroom drama.
Burger is accused of a single count of dereliction of duty in the wake of the training deaths of Navy Diver 1st Class (DSW) James Reyher of Caldwell, Ohio, and ND2 (DSW) Ryan Harris of Gladstone, Mo., who died during a training dive in Aberdeen, Md., on Feb. 26, 2013.
He is one of two senior Navy divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, based in Little Creek, Va., slated to have their fate decided by a panel of their peers. His trial continued Wednesday and could last well into the weekend.
His charges state that he failed "to ensure established diving procedures and safety requirements were adhered to, as it was his duty to do so."
The Navy has also charged Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jason M. Bennett, who was not present on diving stations in Aberdeen when the deaths took place, with two specifications of dereliction. He's slated for trial next week.
Along with a charge similar to Burger's, Bennett also is charged with allegedly failing to relay to MDSU 2's commanding officer — Cmdr. Michael Runkle, who was later relieved of command — a request from the divers on station to conduct a SCUBA dive to 150 feet, which exceeded normal working limits.
It's a dive the Navy says shouldn't have happened, and it was up to Burger as the master diver to stop it, Marine Capt. Keaton Harrell, who leads the government's prosecution efforts, said in his opening statements Tuesday.
"Navy divers operate in areas of inherent danger," Harrell said, adding that the "select few" who become master divers are entrusted with ensuring diving operations are conducted safely.
"They are vigilant and recognize issues others miss, and speak up when others are slack," Harrell said. "Senior Chief Burger did not live up to that standard on Feb. 26."
But Burger's defense counsel, Lt. Cmdr. John F. Butler, said the evidence will show that faulty dive gear, not negligence, caused the deaths.
"This was a tragic accident and not a crime," Butler told the court. He said that during the trial, the members of the court would hear compelling testimony from engineers from the Navy's Experimental Diving Unit, who tested the perished divers gear after the accident.
Those tests, he said, prove the deaths were "caused by defective regulators that when tested, failed over and over again."
Panel selection
The opening statements came after a marathon first day of trial on Monday, during which the court set to work selecting the military members who would serve as the trial's court — similar to a jury in civilian court.
Navy rules state that those slated to sit in judgment in a military court must be of equal or higher rank than the accused. Navy legal officials told Navy Times that the trial's convening authority — in this case, Capt. John Coffey, who heads Little Creek-based Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2, MDSU's higher headquarters — is charged with locating and vetting potential jurors.
Of the 11 initially ordered to the trial, only four remain. The rest were whittled away by the prosecution, the defense and the trial's military judge, Capt. Carolyn Glaser-Allen. The minimum number of court members a special court-martial can have is three; a finding of guilty by three of the four now empaneled would be required to convict Burger.
Eight of the 11 sent to the trial were explosive ordnance disposal technicians, either officer or enlisted. Upon lengthy questioning, many were deemed to be too close to the convening authority or possible witnesses to be allowed to take part.
The four-member panel includes a SEAL lieutenant, a master chief, an intelligence specialist and one remaining EOD tech.
The Navy originally charged five divers in the case in August, taking them to captain's mast. At the time, only one of the divers agreed to take punishment at mast while the others opted for courts-martial.
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Mark Smith was the officer in charge of Company 2-3. Navy officials won't confirm whether Smith was the sole sailor who initially accepted the nonjudicial punishment.
Since then, two other divers — Chief Navy Diver Gary G. Ladd, Jr., MDSU 2's readiness and training leading chief petty officer, and Senior Chief Navy Diver David C. Jones, the command's readiness and training master diver — agreed to the nonjudicial punishment terms, avoiding courts-martial.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A woman asked repeatedly to leave the same McDonald's has been arrested for returning the restaurant and acting belligerent.
According to police, Gloria Plunkett has been asked to leave the McDonald's in the 4400 block of Cane Run Road in Louisville several times for inappropriate behavior. Police say she returned to that same McDonald's early Friday morning and was asked to leave. When she didn't, police were called.
Plunkett has a history at that restaurant, as the arrest report indicates. She has stolen food from patrons and defecated inside the restaurant on previous occasions, resulting in her ban.
Police say she has skipped her court dates on similar charges in the past.
Plunked is charged with Criminal Trespassing.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Details are emerging in South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's lawsuit over federal stimulus money.
The lawsuit posted Thursday on the federal court's Internet site names Attorney General Henry McMaster as the defendant, as the chief enforcer of South Carolina laws. The suit says the Republican governor has sole authority to request nearly $700 million in federal bailout money intended to keep the state from cutting education spending.
"If we allow this decision that they have made to hold, it's going to set precedent for the next governor, and the governor after that, and the governor after that," said Sanford.
McMaster released a statement saying his office is preparing to make a response.
"It's unfortunate that this drama must now play out in the courts. Like most South Carolinians, I was hopeful that the governor and legislature would be able to resolve their differences on the budget. We have received the governor's lawsuit and are currently researching the law in preparation for making an appropriate response," said McMaster's statement.
He asks the federal court to declare the Legislature violated the South Carolina Constitution by requiring that he request the money.
After legislators overrode Gov. Mark Sanford's vetoes Wednesday of the $5.7 billion state budget and his refusal to accept federal stimulus funds, the governor said he was filing a lawsuit in protest.
"We know that a suit will be filed against us on this issue, and as such we've filed a suit tonight in response," Sanford said Wednesday in a statement. "We believe the legislature's end-around move on the stimulus won't pass constitutional muster, and if it were allowed to stand it would have far reaching implications for future governors of this state and for governors of other states as well."
The suit is expected to challenge the legislature's ability to force Sanford to request $350 million in federal stimulus money, which they did Wednesday by overriding his veto of that provision of the state budget.
"The absurdity of saying we don't want the $700 million dollars, give our money to other states resonates not only with people in South Carolina but anybody around the country who's watching this has to wonder what's going on over there," said Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell.
The governor's actions could now be followed by state lawsuits -- one filed by the general assembly against the governor and the other by attorneys for a Chapin High School student.
Dwight Drake, is one of the lawyers for 18-year-old Casey Edwards.
"I think his actions have affected future governors. I mean he's made his office of governor virtually irrelevant and he's weakened the office of governor by the various actions he's taken. So he's already established a precedent by being such a poor governor," said Drake.
But at least one House member is not ready to fire back at Sanford with another lawsuit.
"I hope we don't. Let the issue be resolved by the courts looking at the governor's suit and deciding on the merits of it. I don't see quite frankly what value there is in this tit for tat, back and forth," said Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter.
Senate Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell has also made his opinion apparent about the governor's choice. He says, "South Carolinians need to know that Governor Sanford has already politically left this state, sometimes physically, but always mentally."
The Senate voted 34-12 Wednesday afternoon to override Sanford's veto of nearly all of the $5.7 billion spending plan.
Earlier in the day, the House issued its overrides for the two budget sections.
After Sanford announced his lawsuit, State Superintendent Jim Rex fired back at the governor in a statement.
"It's time for the will of South Carolinians to win out over this unbending ideology. This isn't an economics class. It's real life, and real people are hurting. The General Assembly understands that, even if our governor doesn't. Governor Sanford is basically standing in the doorways of our schools while teachers are losing jobs and districts are cutting effective programs. Sadly, our students stand to be the big losers here," said Rex.
Legislators said the stimulus money is needed to head off deeper cuts in public school budget, double-digit college tuition increases and cuts for law enforcement and the state's prison system. Sanford insists that he won't request the money unless it is used to offset state debt.
Wednesday morning, House members began looking at the list of vetoes. On a 104-0 vote, they overrode Sanford's veto of a bill that creates authorities and boards to oversee several technical colleges.
A few hours later, the House voted by overwhelming margins to override the governor's vetoes of major portions of the spending bill.
House members voted 98-19 to keep the main funding section of the plan, and 93-23 to override the veto of the section built on federal stimulus funding.
The House gave Sanford some lesser victories by voting to sustain the governor's vetoes of a program for medically fragile children, a railway transfer in North Charleston, creation of a capital police force and a measure dealing with the governor's appointee to the South Carolina Research Authority.
The House GOP Caucus says House members sustained 35% of the governor's vetoes pertaining to nearly four dozen provisos.
Sanford did not veto the entire $5.7 billion budget, but came close.
He's said for weeks he would not approve a spending plan that included stimulus money.
The governor says $700 million dollars allocated to the state should be used to pay down debt.
Sanford called the budget put forth by state lawmakers "fundamentally flawed" and said that many of them weren't given enough time to even look at the state budget to properly vote on it.
"They were not really even given time to look at this budget. There was a motion for a 24-hour look and that was denied, so it's basically just a handful of folks worked out the details on this budget over the weekend," said Sanford.
Richland Senator Darrell Jackson said if the vetoes were not overridden, the state would not be able to formulate a budget. If that happened, Jackson said, "We would have chaos in South Carolina beginning July 1st."
"I think again this governor has demonstrated that he does not have his feet on the ground and he does not understand where the state of South Carolina is. We're in a crisis," said Sumter Sen. Phil Leventis.
"It's a legitimate effort by 170 people who are not absolutely like-minded, but we came up with something that we believe will work, and the governor has said, let's not even talk about it, let's just throw the whole thing out and start again. He's got to get in touch with reality, I don't know where the reality that he believes he's dealing with is but it's not in the state of South Carolina," says Leventis.
"This has been a crazy year and this just culminates into the kind of year we've seen," said Jackson.
The governor said this was the "second lightest list of vetoes" during his time in office.
He eliminated 47 provisos which he says represented waste, inefficiency and misplaced priorities.
Sanford also disputed claims made by opponents that failure to use the federal money means it will be sent to other states.
The Democratic National Committee quickly fired back to Sanford's vetoes, saying that he is "siding with the Rush-Limbaugh-led 'Party of No' wing of the national GOP."
Sanford contends the money increases the nation's debt and devalues the dollar. Critics say Sanford's desire to raise his political profile is coming at the expense of education.
The governor has supporters.
"There should have been some sort of agreement between the governor and legislators on how those stimulus dollars should have been spent and that didn't happen," said Rep. Nikki Haley.
"I think this budget is fundamentally flawed. I've said so on the Senate floor. It seeks to appropriate $350 million that the Obama Administration and the attorney general says the governor has control over," said Sen. Tom Davis. "It seeks to appropriate $350 million that the Obama administration and our state attorney general says only the governor has control over, I think it's highly irresponsible for this legislature to appropriate funds it knows it has no control over."
"This is a time where I think we need to slow down and really spend some time looking at not only how we spend money but how the political process works. This was a budget that quite honestly was on the fast track," says Rep. Nathan Ballentine, who also backs Sanford's vetoes.

We created a new beverage + beauty + cosmetic brand.
After great success with Interbrand's work for éh!, Cristiana Arcangeli reached out to us again with a new challenge: To create the first Brazilian brand that unites the pleasure of food, the healthy aspects of vitamins, and the new cosmetic technology.
As this concept would be unprecedented in Brazil, our goal was to not only understand the brand's potential customers, but also educate them on the relationship between good nutrition and external beauty.
We held workshops with physicians, scientists, journalists and opinion leaders to identify our target customer. Interbrand offices from Tokyo, Paris, London and New York were also involved to identify products that would be most significant to the Brazilian lifestyle.
To bring to life the relationship between good nutrition and external beauty, we chose the name Beauty'in. The shapes of the bottles and lids and the brand identity and labels were also built around this brand proposition.
The visual identity is made up of cells, ties, stylized waves and splashes that come to life with color and shapes that suggest the essence of beauty. Simple tables, step-by-step instructions and informative graphics teach the consumer to experience the brand.
The straightforward names we chose for products within the line – Beauty Drink and Beauty Candy—are instantly recognizable and easy to understand. Additionally, the labels contain texts that indicate the functional benefits of each product type.
A brand this big deserves a great launch event. We worked together with a team of top professionals from diverse fields to create a great show featuring music and theater that was attended by over 1500 people in São Paulo.

American Society of Safety Engineers Foundation, Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety Announce 2007 Recipients Summer Fellowship Program
|Des Plaines, IL (May 23, 2007) — Officials from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Foundation and the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety announced today that Bethany S. Taylor of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO, and Joshua D. Hoffman of the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA, are the recipients of the 2007 Liberty Mutual Safety Research Fellowship Program.
The Fellowship Program encourages research activity in the field of safety, expands and stimulates understanding of safety and lays the groundwork for graduate students and faculty members to pursue safety/health applied research projects of their choice. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and possess a Ph.D degree or be working towards a masters or Ph.D. Preference is given to applicants holding appointments or enrolled in a department with an ABET accredited safety program.
The Fellows will spend four to six weeks during the summer at the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety in Hopkinton, MA. Fellows receive a stipend from the ASSE Foundation covering transportation and room and board. Upon completion of the summer program, Fellows are responsible for writing either an 800 word article for the ASSE Foundation Advocate publication explaining the results of the research or an article for the ASSE Professional Safety magazine on the results of the safety research project and, if appropriate, an outline for a grant proposal for continuing the research
Taylor is in her final year of graduate study in the Clinical Doctorate Program in Occupational Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research includes workplace injury prevention and implementation of work modifications post-injury to minimize work disability. One of her career goals is to research, teach and consult with industrial organizations to identify and eliminate potential modifiable injury-related risk factors. Through the Fellowship, Taylor hopes to gain valuable experience and understanding of applied safety research at organization-wide and industry-wide levels.
The second Fellow, Hoffman is working towards a Ph.D in Industrial Engineering at the University of Iowa. Hoffman is currently the research assistant in the Cognitive Systems Laboratory at the University of Iowa. During his time as the research assistant, Hoffman has developed a model of driver interaction with in-vehicle information systems to support design of adaptive driver interfaces and evaluate in-vehicle systems. He is also an ergonomist in training with Worksafe Iowa at the University of Iowa. His goal is to replicate and extend a previous study he conducted in a fixed-base driving simulator at the University of Iowa on the Liberty Mutual test track using their instrumented vehicle. Through the fellowship, Hoffman expects to merge the results from the above with the simulator study to gain a more complete picture of the situations in which distracting drivers with text-based messages leads to decrements in driving performances and an increase in time spent looking away from the roadway.
The Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety in Hopkinton, MA, conducts original investigations into job-related accidents, injuries and disability and publishes the results in peer-reviewed, scientific journals. The Research Institute is part of Boston-based Liberty Mutual Group (LMG), a diversified global insurer and sixth largest property and casualty insurer in the U.S. based on 2005 direct written premium. LMG (www.libertymutual.com) employs over 39,000 people in more than 900 offices throughout the world.
