Doctors Take Umbrage at Physicians' Porsche Promo
The September issue of "Christophorus," a magazine for Porsche enthusiasts, is causing a kerfuffle among some California physicians and hospital leaders who e-mailed it to each other in a rage this week.
That's because the publication contains a 9-page glamour spread showing 10 blue-scrubbed physicians on staff at San Diego's 306-bed Alvarado Hospital, all touting their expensive Porches, which sit glistening beside them in the hospital parking lot.
"Calling 911 has a special meaning at Alvarado," the article begins. "Driving a historic 911 Targa through Southern California is the favorite pastime of Hugh Laurie, the British actor playing TV doctor Gregory House. But this passion for Porsche is easily topped by the top doctors of Alvarado Hospital in San Diego. You just have to check out the parking lot. And you can count for yourself. One, two, three..."
Don't these doctors know about the sustainable growth rate formula (SGR), and the Medicare pay cut's one-two punch scheduled for a 23% drop on Dec. 1 and 1.9% on Jan. 1? (On Nov. 2, CMS revised its estimate from 30%.) Physicians across the U.S. are desperately seeking to repeal it, even as some of them contemplate dropping Medicare patients. This kind of an article, coming now, is unseemly.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I don't like the way the article portrays doctors who have the ability to buy sports cars. Dr. Pedram Salimpur went through many years of schooling and has always been a great doctor to my daughter. He is attentive, kind, and deserves to spend his hard earned money on whatever he chooses. He always takes personnel interest and personally follows up on her progress and well being no matter what time of day.

Why should this reporter or any other person care what hobbies another person has or how someone spends their money. The Porsche articel was a fun article. It seems as if the article from the San Diego reporter was written in an attempt to stir up controversy where none exists. I guess the hobbies a few docotrs might have are more improtant than the flooding in Haiti or the elections that just passed. I would like to know in these difficult economic times who is allowed to have a nice car, go on vacation, go to the movies, or out to eat? Is it just doctors who should do none of the above? I guess when I am in the hospital today doing my 36 hour shift caring for patients, I can only think that the reporter who wrote this article has had a nice meal, has the luxury of being at home spending time with her family, and sleepign in her own comfortable bed.
Michael Murphy (11/5/2010 at 2:19 PM)
Why are all the negative comments just against Mazer? That guy is a backstabber and an idiot because he is a dr at the same hospital and is going on record against his colleagues. But Stewart Frank is just as much of a moron. Why would you be so stupid as to talk to a reporter about fellow doctors like this? have you no integrity at all?

Mr. Colfer will participate remotely from the LA premiere for a live and interactive webcast Q&A at the conclusion of the film. Viewers will have the opportunity to ask questions via social media.

Eastridge Park will be seeing some upgrades aimed at making the park more appealing for people in East Amarillo.
Over $300,000 has been approved in Tuesday's City Commission meeting and will be used to add more sidewalk, install security lighting, put in a splash park for kids and update bathrooms.
Amarillo's Community Development Administrator, James Allen, says this renovation will greatly benefit the growing and diverse community in that area.
"There are not a lot of public amenities in the Eastridge area so to be able to offer amenities for a lot of those kids and parents of that community is tremendous," Allen said.
Funding for the changes will be coming from HUD grants in October. Planning and construction is expected to begin at a later date.

"A 'squeaky wheel' isn't the highest priority project. It's the loudest or most noticed. In many organizations, it gets the grease, while projects with greatest potential to bring about business results get delayed or set aside." This quote, from the book Everything's A Project, is playing like a mantra in my thoughts. We focus on squeaky wheels because they are irritating, not because they are important. We want the irritation to go away. But oil isn't the answer.

Employee engagement: a three-legged stool
Many authors have written about people management, project management or corporate culture as separate topics. But a new book by Ben Snyder ties together all three subjects and paints a clear picture of how they interact to nurture (or damage) employee engagement and organizational performance.

doesn't look like Mars much to me but I do like the music! :)

If you came here from an email link, then you're not dumb... as it was incorrect and took logic to fix. You're also ASKING about this and not just saying "WOW".
If the poster will supply links and documentation as to the source, it would help the credibility factor.
Moodycat May 6, 2012 7:59:54 PM CEST
4:23 looking a patterns in the mud of Mars, if it was Mars. No thank you! As usual, no references.
Ruquick May 3, 2012 10:44:44 PM CEST
@ demoniX
Using your logic, we should find as many or more of these spirals on Earth.
DmoniX_The_Destroyer May 2, 2012 3:22:00 PM CEST
If it's not a fake, remember that Mars has incredible dust and windstorms. Think about data before jumping to "alien" conclusions. There's been photo's and video of Mars "dust devils", that range from the small to large. Mars has a dynamic system of natural phenomena, again, try to keep these science facts in mind before science fiction.

In 2010 the proportion of eighth-graders who reported using an illicit drug in the past 12 months jumped to 16%, up from 14.5% in 2009. Past-year use of an illicit drug was 30% for tenth-graders and 38% for 12th-graders in 2010. The increases were fueled by higher rates of marijuana use, according to the 2010 Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF). In 2010 daily use of marijuana was reported by 6.1% of high school seniors, 3.3% of tenth-graders, and 1.2% of eighth-graders, compared with 2009 rates of 5.2%, 2.8%, and 1.0%, respectively. The MTF is an annual series of classroom surveys of eighth-, tenth-, and 12th-graders conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Declines in cigarette use among high school seniors, along with increases in marijuana use, have put marijuana use ahead of cigarette smoking by some measures. For example, past-month use of marijuana was reported by 21.4% of high school seniors in 2010, compared with 19.2% who reported smoking cigarettes in the past month.
"These high rates of marijuana use during the teen and pre-teen years, when the brain continues to develop, place our young people at particular risk," said NIDA Director Nora D. Volkow, M.D. "Not only does marijuana affect learning, judgment, and motor skills, but research tells us that about one in six people who start using it as adolescents become addicted."
The downward trend in cigarette smoking has stalled in all three grades after several years of significant improvement. Marketing of other forms of tobacco prompted the addition of two measures to the 2010 survey for 12th-graders—past-month use of small cigars (23.1%) and of tobacco smoked with a hookah pipe (17.1%).
Prescription drug abuse remains a major problem. Although past-year abuse of Vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) decreased among 12th-graders to 8%, down from around 9.7% for the past four years, other indicators confirm that nonmedical use of prescription drugs remains high. For example, past-year use of oxycodone, another prescription opiate, stayed about the same for 12th-graders, at 5.1% in 2010. Six of the ten drugs most frequently abused by 12th-graders in 2010 were prescribed or purchased over the counter.
In 2010 binge drinking continued its downward trend. Among high school seniors, 23.2% reported having five or more drinks in a row during the past two weeks, down from 25.2% in 2009 and from the peak of 31.5% in 1998. Recent findings also show a drop in high school seniors' past-year use of flavored alcoholic beverages, from 53.4% in 2009 to 47.9% in 2010. Past-year use of flavored alcohol by eighth-graders was at 21.9%, down from 27.9% in 2005.
The MTF also measures teen attitudes about drugs. The perception that regular marijuana smoking is harmful decreased among tenth-graders, from 59.5% in 2009 to 57.2% in 2010, and also among 12th-graders, from 52.4% in 2009 to 46.8% in 2010. Disapproval of smoking marijuana also decreased significantly among eighth-graders.
A total of 46,482 students from 396 public and private schools participated in this year's survey. Additional information on the MTF, along with comments from Dr. Volkow, can be found at www.drugabuse.gov/drugpages/MTF.html.

works great
nice going use it next week
So far very impressed with the viewer. Have only used the SD cards so far, but the viewer gets the job done.
The Leupold RCX Game Camera Picture Viewer/Controller was defective and I had to send it back. It would not display the pictures on the SD card. The screen just kept flashing when it was turned on.
This appears to be a very good unit. It has good ergonomics, nice carrying pouch. I have not tested in the field yet, but thus far am very happy with this purchase.
I was searching for a viewer and I got a double bargain, viewer and a controller

MILWAUKEE (AP) - It's Opening Day in Milwaukee, where skies are clear and blue but temperatures aren't expected to get above the high 30s.
The Brewers host the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The first pitch is at 1:10 p.m.
Milwaukee will have a familiar face on the mound. Yovani Gallardo makes his fourth opening-day start for the Brewers, who begin the season against Colorado for the second time in four years.
The Brewers are hoping to improve on last year's disappointing season, when they finished third in the NL Central. They were 83-79, 14 games behind division champion Cincinnati.
Milwaukee will be relying on a youth movement this year. The Brewers have eight players who are on an opening-day roster for the first time, including pitchers Wily Peralta, Mike Fiers and Jim Henderson.

The tendons connect muscle to bone and often connect near a joint.
Tendinopathy is an injury to the tendon. It can cause pain and swelling and makes it difficult to move. Tendinopathy may be:
There are several tendons in the shoulder. They are attached to muscles of the rotator cuff and the biceps muscle of the arm.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Tendinopathy is generally caused by overuse of a muscle and tendon. Over time, the strain on the tendon causes the structure of the tendon to change.
tendons are overused most often with:
Shoulder tendinopathy may also be caused by:
Factors that increase your chance of developing shoulder tendinopathy include:
Symptoms develop gradually over time. Pain usually slowly increases with use.
Tendinopathy may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will check tender areas. Your shoulder range of motion, and muscle strength will also be checked.
Your doctor may need to get detailed images of your shoulder. This may be done if the injury is severe or to rule out other problems. Images can be taken with:
Bursitis can cause similar pain symptoms. Your doctor may inject an anesthetic medication. If the pain goes away it may suggest bursitis not tendinopathy.
Tendinopathy and the associated pain may take months to resolve. It can be frustrating but it is important to follow through with recommended treatment.
Treatments include:
Avoid activities that cause shoulder pain.
Use ice or an ice pak
to help control pain and swelling, It may help during the first 24-48 hours after injury or after exercise. Protect your skin by placing a towel between the ice and your skin
After a few days, heat may help decrease stiffness. Check with a doctor or therapist before using heat the first time. Protect your skin by placing a towel between the heat source and your skin.
The doctor may recommend medication to help reduce swelling and pain. Medication options include:
Persistent or severe pain may need further treatment. Your doctor may inject a steroid into the area. It can temporarily relieve pain. However, frequent injections can damage the tendon.
Rehabilitation will help you regain strength and range of motion in your shoulder. It will also help you prevent future injuries. Rehabilitation may include:
Severe injuries may require surgery to repair the tendon. The type of surgery will depend on the specific injuries.

The Base Fiesta S is aimed at economy minded customers. Air conditioning, an auxiliary input jack and a 4-inch touch screen are standard, while the car can be optioned with a nicer sound system, keyless entry and auto locking doors.
The mid-level SE models include these items as standard, while also adding the latest version of Ford's SYNC system, power windows, a trip computer, heated side mirrors and cruise control. Top of the line Titanium Fiesta add features that are unusual in the subcompact market, including heated leather seats, SiriusXM radio, pushbutton start and a perimeter alarm system.
The Ford Fiesta's 120-horsepower, 1.6L 4-cylinder engine features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing, which enables smoother low-rev torque while also maximizing fuel economy, all with an EPA highway rating of 40 mpg (when equipped with the Super Fuel Economy package). A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, but the available 6-speed PowerShift transmission is unique in the class; the twin-clutch automated manual transmission helps improve both fuel economy and performance versus a traditional automatic.
In most other ways, the Fiesta is laid out much like other subcompacts. The suspension, which has struts in front and a twist-beam axle setup in back promises a sportier driving experience than other economical cars.
Although the interior layout of the Fiesta, available as either a hatchback or 4-door sedan, is much like other cars of its size, Ford offers upgraded materials and trims inside, as well as a wide range of textures and colors. The result is a more premium, sporty feel throughout the cabin. Upholstery choices include cloth, leather, or perforated leather with contrast piping, while available ambient lighting includes a choice of seven different colors. Ford has made an effort to keep the interior especially quiet with the use of foam baffles inside the pillars, as well as additional sound insulation behind the instrument panel.
Inside, the Fiesta comes with bucket seats in front and a 60/40-split bench seat in back, which can be folded forward in part or in all to expand cargo space. Front seats are designed for a wide range of sizes, and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes. Cupholders are adjustable, while several smaller bins are provided for odds and ends.
Safety is addressed with a stability control system, a tire pressure monitoring system and a variety of airbags. Front side airbags, side curtain airbags and driver's knee airbags all come standard across all Fiesta trims.

First, the Nano: the form factor is essentially the same, but there are some UI updates that include bigger icons for easier navigation. It also has deeper Nike+ integration, and 16 new clock faces for people who want to wear it as a watch. It's available today in 7 colors, with the 8GB model selling for $129, and 16GB for $149.
As for the iPod Touch, it's also keeping the same form factor and will be getting a software updated with iOS 5. Nothing too fancy here, although it does now come in white. 8GB will be $199, 32Gb $299 and 64GB $399.

Sidecar + Scooter + Trike Motorcycles
Sidecar + Scooter + Trike Motorcycles is a catch–all category that, according to guides, includes machines that have styling, controls and seating positions like those found on motorcycles, but are different in important ways. Reviews of the Sidecars category include motorcycles with an affixed sidecar rig, also known as a "sidehack," that adds a third wheel and a car that can be used to carry a passenger or cargo. Scooters have a step–through design that offers a chair–like seating position with the rider's knees close together, as well as a twist–and–go transmission (usually a CVT) that doesn't require a rider to change gears manually. Trikes are typically conversions–motorcycles with the rear wheel replaced by an axle and two car–like wheels/tires.

Android 2.2 Officially Available Today
Andy Rubin confirms that 2.2 is open-sourced and ready for OEMs and consumers.
Today at Verizon's Droid X event, Google's Andy Rubin announced that Android 2.2 (codename: Froyo) would launch for both OEMs and consumers at 2 p.m. EST. This allows companies to update from Android 2.1 over-the-air, as well as implement the OS into future smartphones on the factory line.
Android 2.2 has several noteworthy features including enhanced cloud services, an improved compiler that boosts performance on existing hardware and the V8 Javascript engine for faster web browsing. Also on-tap for Android 2.2: 10.1 Flash compatibility through a standalone app.
It's uncertain how soon OEMs will adopt Android 2.2. Motorola's timetable from last week made no mention of Froyo and HTC has promised updates for the Evo 4G, Incredible, and other phones by the end of this year.

Welcome to the USM Educational Psychology Program. The USM Educational Psychology Program offers four (4) different programs of study:
1. Master of Science in Educational Psychology: Applied Behavior Analysis concentration (MSABA; 36 credits) – available via distance education
2. Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (CABA; 21 credits) – available via distance education
3. Certificate in Response to Intervention for Academics (RTI-A; 18 credits)
4. Certificate in Response to Intervention for Behavior (RTI-B; 18 credits)
Both the M.S. and CABA include the classes required to obtain the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credential. The BCBA is a national certification administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). The M.S. is for those who want the BCBA but do not have a master's degree. The CABA is for those who want the BCBA but already have a master's degree. Both the MS and CABA are approved by the BACB. There are three (3) steps needed to become a BCBA:
1. Complete coursework
2. Complete 1500 hours of internship supervised by a BCBA
3. Take and pass the national BCBA exam
USM offers step 1, the coursework, but does not provide steps 2 and 3. Those seeking the BCBA must complete steps 2 and 3 on their own as specified by the BACB. Information about the BCBA application process can be obtained from: http://www.bacb.com/
The Certificates in RTI for Academics (RTI-A) and Behavior (RTI-B) are designed for classroom teachers, school administrators, and other school personnel interested in learning how to design and implement RTI methods in their schools. Students in the RTI-A and RTI-B programs all take the same three (3) entry-level core classes. After completing these core classes, students then take classes specific to RTI for Academics or RTI for Behavior.

Waterford Police say a mother/son duo was caught stealing an election sign supporting President Obama. Around 11:30am Sunday, officers responded to the area of Crescent Lake Rd. and Pontiac Lake Rd. after receiving a call from a concerned citizen who reported seeing an election sign being stolen.
A tip caller said a white male in his late teens got out of the passenger side of a black GMC Yukon and removed an election sign supporting President Obama. The caller gave police information which helped locate the suspects and the vehicle they were driving.
The suspect, identified as 17-year-old Kevin Kramer of Waterford, admitted stealing the sign which was recovered from his mother's garage. Kramer was issued a citation for larceny and released. The suspect vehicle was driven by Kramer's mother, who also admitted to stopping so her son could steal the sign.
Police tell us they receive complaints about stolen election signs during every election cycle.
"It's unfortunate that some people don't respect every citizen's right to support their candidates and the ballot proposals and resort to stealing signs in hopes of one less voice being heard," Police Chief Daniel McCaw wrote in a press release. "Stealing or tampering with election signs is a crime and if you get caught in Waterford, you will be prosecuted."

By FOXNews.com
American mall fixture Urban Outfitters put itself on the naughty list with a holiday catalog that pushes profanity-laced products, including a $24 candle that uses the f-word in the form of the iconic LOVE sculpture.
The retailer, whose efforts to be edgy have raised the ire of parents groups in the past, is now trying to connect with the younger crowd by hawking an $18 "Let's f------ reminisce" book, a $16 "It was all f------ awesome" photo album and a profane candle that would make your grandmother blush.
A quick look at the retailer's website reveals even more questionable products, including:
— an $18 flask emblazoned with the words: "That s--- cray";
— BYOB Gummi bears;
— an $8 "Merry Christmas b-tches" mug;
— a "stick 'em up iPhone stand" that uses a tiny, plastic gun as a cellphone accessory.
The items — and the catalog now hitting mailboxes around the country — may strike a chord with the target audience. But the company's detractors say it is all part of a cynical marketing plan.
"This really isn't anything new for them," said Monica Cole, director of the American Family Association's One Million Moms division. "Their catalog has offensive profanities on products and little knickknacks, T-shirts -- you name it. And so many teenagers shop there."
Cole said the company "consistently" uses profane language in its merchandise and has been on AFA's watch list for at least three years. AFA contacted Urban Outfitters several months ago for inappropriate pictures in its catalog and last year for graphic content on its apparel, she said.
"They use it consistently," she said. "We're asking them to clean up their website and catalog. They are offensive."
Rob Schwarzwalder, senior vice president of the Family Research Council, said the advertisements are proof of the "increasing prevalence" of obscenities in pop culture.
"Years ago, then-Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) warned that our society is 'dumbing deviancy down,'" Schwarzwalder said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "The increasing prevalence of obscenities in popular culture vindicates his concern. Historically, we have avoided the public use of foul language because of an unspoken understanding that the religious faiths of our fellow citizens merit respect and because of a recognition that debasing sexual intimacy through the use of expletives diminishes women and coarsens our attitudes toward one another."
Schwarzwalder's statement continued: "It is especially ironic that at a time of year when reverence for the birth of God's Son should animate renewed humility and civility that a major retailer would, instead, cheapen itself and its customers through the use of barnyard epithets."
Messages seeking comment from company officials were not returned, but marketing experts contacted by FoxNews.com said the company is playing to its market.
"The people who would be offended are not their customers and the people who do think it's cool are their customers," said Jack Trout, president of Connecticut's Trout & Partners. "It gives them an edge of coolness."
Trout, who had no issue with the heavy sprinkling of profanities, said words that were previously taboo have largely become commonplace.
"There is no bottom to America," he said. "We will continue to move in this direction. We will become looser and looser."
Paul J.J. Payack, president and chief word analyst of The Global Language Monitor, compared the F-bomb to the word "suck," particularly in how it has become more accepted over time in some venues.
"It used to be an awful word, no one would say it," Payack told FoxNews.com. "But it has transformed from a word that was offensive to one that's more and more accepted. That change happened over a generation."
Urban Outfitters likely used the word for its "shock value," Payack said.
John Tantillo, a marketing expert and host of WVOX's "Brandtalk" radio show, said he saw no problem with the profanities, characterizing it as a "win-win" for Urban Outfitters.
"College students really don't care about using salty language and it's great publicity to those who object to it," Tantillo told FoxNews.com. "So, it's perfect, and if they wanted to discontinue the items they could, but it got guys like me to talk about it – so it's very smart."
Tantillo said the Philadelphia-based chain with 400 locations nationwide across five retail brands (Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain, and BHLDN) is savvy to market directly to the customers it targets most: teenagers and young adults.
"Remember, when you talk about your brand, it's all about your customers," he said. "Not the parents of your customers."

Atlanta Symphony bassist dies
Retired Atlanta Symphony Orchestra principal bass player Ralph Jones died Wednesday after a courageous fight with cancer. The ASO posted the following statement:
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our beloved friend, colleague, and Principal Bass Ralph Jones, who has passed away following a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Ralph has been a part of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra family for more than 40 years and will be missed immensely. He joined the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1970 and served as Principal Bass from 1977 until his recent retirement at the end of the 2012-13 season.
Ralph maintained a busy teaching studio and was active in the ASO Talent Development Program and outreach programs. Many of his students were accepted into schools such as The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Indiana University, and the Curtis Institute of Music. He gave master classes at a number of universities, including Northwestern University, Indiana University, the University of Georgia, and the Manhattan School of Music. Ralph has also taught privately and played Principal Bass at the Chautauqua Institute. At ASO Family Concerts in 1994, he was the soloist for Jack and the Beanstalk, a double-bass concerto by Jon Deak.
A frequent guest artist of the Georgian Chambers Players, Ralph performed the Rossini Duo for cello and bass with ASO Principal Cellist Christopher Rex. Most recently he performed in a chamber version of Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel. Both performances were at Spivey Hall.
Born in Decatur, Illinois, Ralph graduated from the University of Tulsa. His teachers were Henry Loew, Principal Bass with the Saint Louis Symphony; Lew Norton, bassist with the New York Philharmonic; Anthony Bianco, Principal Bass with the Pittsburgh Symphony; and Paul Rainier-Zepperitz, Principal Bass with the Berlin Philharmonic. He played on a bass made in 1740 by Domenicus Busan.
Ralph is survived by his wife, Gloria (Associate Principal Bass of the ASO), and their children, Christopher and Shelley. His impact on the ASO will endure for years to come.

Soniya said:
Add this book to the list of books that don't get the fame and fanfare that they deserve! Cashore's brilliance is sadly underrepresented in the world of teen fiction as she comes out with another fantastic tale, Bitterblue. The Seven Kingdoms trilogy begins with Graceling, where the stage is set in a beautifully written world. We are introduced to the concept of Gracelings, or people who have two different colored eyes and even more interesting talents, which with they are "graced". Next released is Fire, the prequel to Graceling, in which we see a slightly different world yet with just as amazing creatures. And finally comes Bitterblue, sequel to the first book, Graceling. In Bitterblue, worlds collide in the best possible way, and in more than one sense. Bitterblue became queen of her kingdom at a quite young age, succeeding her cruel father, whose horrendous deeds have scarred her kingdom for years past his death. She is now a curious teenager who discovers how much she really doesn't know about her own kingdom. Strange and dark events occur, usually involving a mysterious Graceling boy that Bitterblue meets during her late night adventures of sneaking out of the castle. And why are her advisers trying to cover it up? This mysterious, adventurous, romantic novel, though at times dark, seriously does not get the credit it deserves. Cashore is not necessarily known for writing blissfully happy endings, but she sure does know how to tell a story.

ASA recognizes that industry may be interested in meeting and/or holding receptions, dinners and other special events, and ASA can provide resources to facilitate these functions. Organizers and related organizations may request meeting/event space for their own private functions provided the function conforms to the ASA criteria for content and scheduling. Click HERE for a listing of the 2014 Ancillary Meetings The majority of ASA educational sessions and activities will take place at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the ASA Headquarter Hotel, Hilton New Orleans Riverside . In collaboration with the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau , the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) controls and manages the scheduling of affiliate/ancillary functions at all ASA designated New Orleans, LA hotels and District special event venues. To secure ASA Event/Meeting space, industry organizations and exhibiting companies must complete a request application for every affiliate function held during the ANESTHESIOLOGYTM 2014 Annual Meeting. First priority assignments are given to ASA Committee/Governance Meetings, ASA affiliate subspecialties and ancillary organizations with seats in the ASA House of Delegates. Once the function has been approved, space will be assigned from the designated hotels and special event venues. These hotels and venues are instructed not to assign meeting space to affiliate organizations unless approval has been received from ASA. The affiliate organization and/or its agents will work directly with the assigned hotel/venue's convention service manager to coordinate arrangements pertaining to the proposed event. Approval is required for all affiliate/ancillary events, independent of whether the organization is requesting function space. Definition of an Ancillary/Affiliate Event Ancillary events are non-ASA sponsored events such as committee meetings, business meetings, focus/research groups, Exhibitor pre-conference meetings, alumni gatherings, receptions, and event dinners that are held during the official dates of the ANESTHESIOLOGYTM 2014 Annual Meeting (October 11-15). Guidelines for Ancillary/Affiliate Meetings The ANESTHESIOLOGYTM 2014 Annual Meeting brings together more than 15,000 professional attendees committed to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology and improve the care of the patient. This presents a prime opportunity for affiliates of ASA – exhibitors, corporate supporters, ASA members, patient groups, and nonprofit organizations – to hold meetings and events in connection with the seven days surrounding and during-the ASA Annual Scientific Meeting and Exposition. ASA encourages affiliates organizations and corporations to take advantage of this opportunity, and has established a set of guidelines to be followed when planning and hosting affiliate/ancillary meetings during the ASA Annual Meeting.

A non-refundable administrative fee on all exhibitor application requests, and will be charged at the time of submission. The deadline for Ancillary Applications is Friday, August 8, 2014. Space for ancillary meetings will be provided only to requestors who are affiliated with ASA, such as subspecialty society's ASA-related affiliates, exhibitors, corporate supporters, nonprofit organizations, and ASA members. Designated Special Event Venues and Hotels in the ASA room block will not reserve meeting rooms/function space for ancillary meetings for any individuals/organizations during the ASA annual meeting without prior approval from ASA. The main contact is responsible for all costs associated with the approved ancillary meeting (food/beverage, audio/visual, equipment, labor costs, etc.). It is the main contact's responsibility to work with the assigned hotel to make arrangements and finalize billing. Dates and Times of Ancillary/Affiliate Meetings All ancillary meetings and events held in conjunction with the ASA annual meeting must adhere to these guidelines, regardless of location.

Life Extension Update Exclusive Calorie restriction keeps its followers young at heart In research published in the January 17 2006 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Luigi Fontana MD, PhD, and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri reported that individuals who have adopted a calorie restricted yet nutritionally balanced diet have the heart function of people much younger. "This is the first study to demonstrate that long-term calorie restriction with optimal nutrition has cardiac-specific effects that ameliorate age-associated declines in heart function," Dr Fontana announced.The team studied 25 members of the Caloric Restriction Optimal Nutrition Society, who consume approximately 1,400 to 2,000 calories per day, which is 10 to 25 percent fewer calories than most Americans, while maintaining nutritionally adequate diets. Diastolic function of the heart, which is the ability of the organ to relax between beats and which, unlike systolic function, declines with age, was evaluated via ultrasound. Blood samples were evaluated for C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and transforming growth factor-beta 1, which are involved with inflammation.The researchers found that the hearts of the subjects examined had greater elasticity than those of control subjects matched for age and gender, and that the organs relaxed between beats in a manner similar to that of younger people. Compared to the control subjects, blood pressure, serum C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 levels were significantly lower in the calorie restricted group. Dr Fontana, who is an assistant professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine as well as an investigator at the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, in Rome, believes that deaths from the most common causes in Western societies results from what scientists call secondary aging, a term that characterizes preventable adverse health conditions such as diabetes that contribute to premature aging. Consuming a nutritious diet and engaging in regular exercise help reduce risks resulting from secondary aging; however, calorie restriction could be an even more powerful measure.Although the participants had been practicing calorie restriction for an average of 6.5 years, their diastolic function resembled that of people fifteen years younger, suggesting that the practice may not just prevent, but could reverse the decline that usually occurs with aging. The finding, combined with reduction in inflammatory markers observed in the calorie restricted group, has led the researchers to believe that inflammation could be an important factor in aging. "Our hypothesis is that low-grade, chronic inflammation is mediating primary aging," Dr Fontana submitted. "It's not the only factor, of course -- aging is a complex process. But we found less inflammation in these people -- less TNFa, C-reactive protein and TGFb -- as well as a more flexible ventricle in their hearts."Study coauthor John O. Holloszy, MD, summarized, "It's very clear from these studies that caloric restriction has a powerful, protective effect against diseases associated with aging. We don't know how long each individual will end up living, but they certainly have a longer life expectancy than average because they're most likely not going to die from a heart attack, stroke or diabetes. And if, in fact, their hearts are aging more slowly, it's conceivable they'll live for a very long time." Protocol Fasting and calorie restriction Claims that various nutritional interventions can extend life span are manifold, but some have greater credibility than others. Gerontologists agree that Caloric Restriction with Optimal Nutrition (CRON) offers the greatest likelihood of succeeding. If people reduce their current caloric intake from 20-40%, even starting in middle age, they may prevent or delay the development of heart disease. Animals whose food intake was reduced by one-third showed less heart disease. The hearts of mice on a low-calorie diet showed 20% fewer age-related genetic changes and had less DNA damage (Parker, 2002). Recall the persuasive cardiovascular results obtained from the Biosphere II experiment: In the first 6 months body weight dropped 15%, blood sugar 20%, blood cholesterol 38%, and systolic/diastolic blood pressure dropped 30%/27% on a calorie-restricted diet (Walford, 1994; Best, 1995). A 30% reduction in caloric intake in 30 rhesus monkeys led to a 25-point elevation in HDL-2B and a 20-point decrease in triglycerides. Increases in HDL-2B and decreases in triglycerides of this magnitude in humans would be a great health benefit, especially for those at risk for stroke or heart disease (Verdery et al. 1997; Lane et al. 1999). Multiple studies have shown increased insulin sensitivity (four-fold) and decreased levels of insulin on calorie-restricted diets (Spindler 2001b), suggesting that hyperinsulinemia may be a risk factor associated with heart disease. Until potent and practical medicines are found to enhance longevity, many useful natural options still offer significant benefits (alternatives that The Life Extension Foundation has recommended to members for decades). The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that underfed animals (consuming 50% less food) live up to 50% longer, perhaps because of higher levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), lower body temperature, and lower insulin levels (JAMA 2002). http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-160.shtml Featured Products Resveratrol Capsules Findings from published scientific literature indicate that resveratrol may be the most effective plant extract for maintaining optimal health. Red wine contains resveratrol, but the quantity varies depending on where the grapes are grown, the time of harvest, and other factors. After years of relentless research, a standardized resveratrol extract is now available as a dietary supplement. This whole grape extract contains a spectrum of polyphenols that are naturally contained in red wine such as proanthocyandins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, etc. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00655.html DHEA Complete Capsules It has been shown that the hormone DHEA often declines 40.8-72.8% by age 70 or later, leading to hormonal imbalances that can affect one's quality of life. Peak blood levels of DHEA occur at approximately age 25, decreasing progressively thereafter. Thus, scientists have been looking at ways of restoring DHEA to youthful levels, and are now discovering mechanisms by which this hormone protects against age-related decline. Since 1981, several hundred studies have been published on DHEA's possible benefits. One study investigated immune functions and DHEA using rats as test subjects. The scientists showed that DHEA administration to rats supports specific immune function known to be lacking in the elderly. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00850.html Super Sale Ends January 31!

'A Consistent Ethic of Life'
- Friday, June 02, 2006
WAKE FOREST, N.C. (BP) -- One of the ongoing battlegrounds in America's culture war is the debate over the intrinsic value of human life. To many conservative evangelicals, "the sanctity of human life" is a buzzword for one or two moral issues, typically abortion and euthanasia. Both practices are terrible, but the sanctity of human life surely encompasses more than simply beginning and end-of-life concerns.
Other conservatives, especially Catholics and those influenced by peace church traditions, prefer to speak of a "consistent ethic of life." This approach addresses abortion and euthanasia, but also tackles a range of other issues including the death penalty, violent crimes, and issues of war and peace. Many who take this approach oppose the death penalty and have a tendency toward pacifism, two positions that I respect in many ways but ultimately disagree with on theological grounds.
Disagreements aside, I like the language of a "consistent ethic of life," and one area in which I wish all conservatives would exercise more consistency is in the way we handle pregnancy. My wife, Leah, and I learned in February that we are expecting our first child. We were ecstatic on that Sunday afternoon when that home pregnancy test came back positive. We are still ecstatic today. Following the realization of the pregnancy, we rejoiced and prayed together for a few minutes. And then we had a decision to make.
We could have chosen to wait awhile before we told anyone. After all, many people, even many Christians, wait until after the first trimester before making their pregnancy public. Many bad things can happen, especially during the first trimester. Would it not be wiser to wait until we reached a "safe" stage in the pregnancy to shout our news from the rooftops? And besides that, we had not even seen a doctor yet. All we had to go on was a bunch of physical symptoms and a pink line. Was waiting awhile the prudent thing to do?
The other option was to tell people our news immediately. Leah really was pregnant. God really had blessed us with a child. A trip to the doctor would only confirm what we already knew to be true. And while many people want to get to the point where miscarriages and other complications are less likely, should such a thing happen to us, God forbid, would we want the first knowledge most people had of the pregnancy to come when we were grieving the loss of the child? Or would we want our friends and family praying with us for the child's wellbeing?
Leah and I spent three hours on the phone that day telling people about the pregnancy.
The truth is there was much less debate involved than I painted above. Leah and I decided two years ago that we wanted everyone to know as soon as we were pregnant. And our theology about the sanctity of human life (and a particularly convicting sermon) played a crucial role in our coming to the decision to announce our news immediately. In our mind, the reality that life begins at conception has implications for more than just the abortion debate.
If life begins at conception, then that means God has blessed us with a child regardless of when we go to a doctor or start showing noticeably signs of pregnancy.
If life begins at conception, then we are parents as soon as a child is present in the womb. Birth obviously changes many things, but it does not increase the "aliveness" of the child.
If life begins at conception, then miscarriage is death, and like all other human death, it should be mourned over and recognized as evidence of the fall. Should miscarriage happen, we would want the body of Christ to grieve with us just as if we had lost a toddler or a teenager.
If life begins at conception, then when we pray for our baby, we are not praying for our future child. We may be praying for the future birth of our now-living child, but the baby is just as much alive and a part of our lives as if he or she were currently in Leah's arms.

The secrets can finally be told. We've been granted permission to tell you the truth
Nick Berg is on a secret tropical island, with his Helliburton pension, golfing with Jack Kennedy and sharing peanut butter and bacon sandwiches with Elvis. Yucking it up with Danny Pearl. There's a greenish glass jar in the entertainment center, beside the big screen TV. Inside, a Roswell alien floats gently, gently, upside down. A pallid little creature bobbing in a lava lamp. Some sick bastard has slapped a decal on it; "Don't Mess With Texas".
"Don't Mess With Texas", Laura.
Oh, it gets worse.
AIDS was a custom-designed biological weapon aimed at reducing the gay population of America, only it backfired and good, God-fearing white folk were affected.

That feels good to get off my chest.

Massachusetts state troopers have captured a convicted rapist on the state's Most Wanted list who's been a fugitive for 35 years.
Gary Irving was arrested Wednesday night in Gorham, Maine, where he'd been living under the alias Gregg Irving, according to a statement from Massachusetts State Police. The MSP said "information developed in recent days" led them to Irving.In 1978, Irving was convicted of three rapes in Norfolk County. He fled after a judge stayed his sentence.
The MSP said troopers from Massachusetts and Maine, along with FBI agents and local police, also found numerous guns in Irving's home.
"He did not possess the guns legally and will be charged federally for the firearms offenses," a spokesman said.
Irving, who is now 52 years old, is scheduled to be arraigned as a fugitive from justice in a Portland courtroom Friday. Authorities are also starting the process of having him returned to Massachusetts.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
Eagles Landing coach Clay Crump had the choice of buying new uniforms for his team this season or scheduling an out-of-state tournament during the Christmas break.Crump chose the uniforms. But that doesnt mean that his second-ranked Golden Eagles squad settled for a second-rate tournament. Eagles Landing, the defending Region 4-AAA champion, is playing in this weeks Converse Classic at Columbia High. The Golden Eagles played defending Class AAAAA Alabama champion Wenona on Monday. Crump believes this tournament will be a good measuring stick for his team, which reached the semifinals last season for the first time in school history. Eagles Landing lost to Columbia in Macon. We sort of get to find out where we stand, Crump said. No team in this tournament is just going to let us win. The same will be true for North Clayton as it makes the trek to Ocala, Fla., to play in the prestigious Kingdom of the Sun tournament. North Clayton, which features Georgia Tech signee Marcus Hunt, will take on Montverde Academy of Florida tonight in the first round. Montverde Academy, which is ranked in the latest USA Today Top 25 poll, has two highly-recruited players on its roster. We realize that this is a big tournament, said North Clayton coach Martisse Troup, who played in this tournament as a junior at Albanys Monroe High. We know if we can compete well in this tournament, it will give us some confidence going into the second half of the season. Two weeks ago, North Clayton played in the annual Memphis vs. Atlanta Shootout in Tennessee. The Eagles (7-1) split their two games against some top Memphis competition. We have been playing pretty well lately, Troup said. Right now, we go about 12 deep on our team. Everybody is coming in and playing their role on the team. Troup said there are some advantages of taking a team out of town for the holiday break. You get the exposure for your kids, and they also get to see different styles of basketball, Troup said. When I was in high school, my coach took us out of town every year. I want to give my kids the same opportunities. Crump acknowledged that going away has some advantages, but he also said staying home can also be beneficial. The kids get a chance to still play in front of the family and friends, he said. We wanted to buy new uniforms this season, and we got them. This tournament has a lot of good teams. We will be tested. Both Lovejoy and Jonesboro will play in the Hoops In Overdrive tournament this coming weekend in Roswell.

- Tap Enhanced Quality to toggle the voice. The voice will then start to download if the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
- Move to the Speech Rate slider to adjust the rate of speech that voice uses.
Note: If the enhanced-quality voice is disabled, it is also removed from the device.
