Patient Comments: Palpitations - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience (skipping sensations, dizziness, chest pain, etc.) with palpitations?
Comment from: olga, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 09
My palpitations feel like skipping sensations and at times when I'm at rest it feels like my heart wants to stop. I feel most of my palpitations when I'm at rest. Sometimes they feel like someone is pounding on my chest. I get up right away. It feels like my heart skips a beat then it continues with a heartbeat. One cardiologist told me that I will need a pacemaker one day. I had a heart attack 25 years ago. I'm tired most of the time.

Public health officials are urging you to keep your pets up to date on their rabies vaccinations. Wild animals such as raccoons can't be vaccinated which is one reason they aren't supposed to be kept as pets.
One Worth County woman learned the hard way when her pet raccoon attacked her. He had to be euthanized so he could be tested for rabies.
This year, there have been two confirmed cases of Rabies in Worth County- one in a bobcat, and the other in a Raccoon.
While most folks consider these furry creatures as wild animals, others consider them a family pet. "They've raised them since they were a baby on a bottle they keep them just like a cat or dog-- Companion animals," said Environmental Health Specialist Laura Searcy.
In South Georgia, raccoons are plentiful. "We've had reports of a couple of people riding raccoons riding around in their vehicles around town." In most cases folks are just trying to help rescue a wild animal they think is in danger.
"People are compassionate about animals. When they find babies, baby foxes raccoons squirrels, they want to help them. But sometimes rescue turns into attachment. A worth County woman developed that bond with a Raccoon she rescued three years ago.
"Oh yea, he was a big fat and chunky raccoon..liked to eat marshmallows and candy," said Sherry Hendley, BFHS Animal Control Officer.
She recently learned the hard way just how quickly her "pet" could turn on her. "He lived in an outdoor enclosure, but he could get out, and he ran up under the carport and bit her, and unbeknownst to her, would he bite."
A bite that landed her in the emergency room, and the raccoon in the hands of health officials. "He had to be euthanized so we could confirm that it did not have rabies at the time that he bit her. He did test negative, which is great for her and her family because she did have a small child in the house."
In Georgia owning a wild animal as a pet is not only illegal..but it's also dangerous. there are no approved vaccinations for wild animals..only approved ones for dogs cats ferrets and some livestock.
So far this year 33 bite cases have been reported in Worth County. Of those, a bobcat and a raccoon tested positive for rabies after they bit dogs. Dogs, Cats and cattle can carry Rabies too.
But unlike wild animals, they can be protected if their rabies vaccinations are kept up to date. Last year, a raccoon also tested positive for the rabies virus in Worth County.

I don't usually get sick. I've started biking around the city in an attempt to get my body moving more, and it seems the "fresh" San Francisco air has caused me to come down with a terrible cold. Go figure.
The benefit of illness is it forces me to stay indoors and gives me an opportunity to pay attention to hobbies I otherwise tend to neglect. Illustrator took care of me, taking my mind of the rapidly growing pile of Kleenex on my floor. Date night with AI, here's the result.

MAY, 2010 By Pablo Correa The Atacama Desert is one of the driest, warmest and sunniest places on earth, analogous to the sunbelt of the US. Despite its excellent conditions for developing solar technologies, this movement has yet to take hold in the region. To better understand the Chilean reality in the solar market and the potential development of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) it serves to mention the landscape of Chile itself. Chile is a long and narrow strip of land, located in South America. The country offers a rich array of climates and terrain. Continental Chile is approximately 4.200 kilometers in length and 300 kilometers in width at its widest point (26° S latitude) with an average of 200 kilometers of width throughout the rest of countr....

Making the Lib Dem message on Compassion Meaningful: Ideas for a distinctive Liberal message
20 December 2011 2 Comments
This was published in the November Liberator magazine which you can access for a short time here.
What is the point in voting for the Liberal Democrats? The May 2011 elections gave a distinctive answer – "I am not quite sure". So the Independent (9 May 2011) offered some advice to the party to "retain a unique selling point – a belief in compassion" and the party may have taken them up on this advice.
Competence and compassion will be the slogan that the Liberal Democrats fly under in future elections, arguing that they are more economically competent than Labour and more compassionate than the Tories.
We see the Liberal Democrats making preparations to flesh out the competence strand with their tax proposals for 2020 underway, but very little in the way of fleshing out the compassionate strand. This may be because compassion has not been seen to provide a tangible benefit beyond a positive perception of those who espouse it. But perhaps we have missed the real benefits of what compassion can provide politics.
On realist terms, politics is about power, security and order, and the question of whether politics can practice compassion is often seen as irrelevant. However, where politicians are seen as compassionate, they have not only been successful politicians but have also genuinely made the country a better place for all. A politics of compassion is therefore possible and some would argue necessary to address human security needs.
Compassion is a concept that can bring up strong reactions in many – from Thatcher who said it was "a very patronising word" to Albert Einstein who said that "our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion". Yet if it is Liberal Democrat selling point and we are going to sell ourselves on it, then we must make it mean something, otherwise there will be no point to it.
Despite Thatcher's thoughts on the word, she still believed she was being compassionate, stating that "efficiency is the ally, not the enemy, of compassion". But this misunderstands the concept of compassion. Compassion is to recognise the suffering of others, then take action to help, and is very much 'suffering with'. Efficiency drives do not show that you understand someone's situation, let alone feel 'with' them, and there are many who will argue that you do not need compassion in politics to be successful or create a better society. Yet there is a very strong case for compassion in politics and one that the Liberal Democrats should meaningfully embrace.
While stressing compassion in politics may have been seen as a 'fringe' activity, there are many examples where compassion has been, and continues to be, a defining element in elections.
Jack Layton was the leader of the New Democratic Party in Canada and took the party from being a minor party to become the official opposition for the first time in the party's history in 2011. The interesting thing about Jack Layton was how he was seen by the voters. A poll by Angus Reid Global Monitor asked voters to describe the party leaders. All were described as intelligent but, with the exception of Layton, they were also described as arrogant and out of touch, while Layton was described as compassionate and down to earth. This offered him a unique standing in Canadian politics. His leadership was a success for his party and turned the tide on its electoral fortunes; the view that he was compassionate played a significant part.
During his election night for Governor of Texas in 1998, George W. Bush announced his desire for a 'compassionate conservatism', only to be ridiculed by many at the time. While it was a controversial election, he campaigned on this theme heavily in the 2000 presidential election campaign, which swung many non-traditional Republican voters to vote for Bush. In such a tight race, this proved to be decisive. Fast forward eight years to the 2008 presidential election campaign and we saw opinion polls showing the presidential hopefuls on similar footings but with Barack Obama being viewed as the more compassionate candidate.
Tony Blair knew when he took over as leader of the Labour Party that he needed to be seen as compassionate and talked extensively about it in the run up to the 1997 general election. David Cameron tried his own version of compassionate conservatism in the 2010 general election and, while he did not win the election, he did manage to achieve the best result the Tories have had since 1992. The point about compassion being a vote winner is the fact that it reaches to a majority on both sides of the political spectrum as well as beyond traditional political boundaries; the Dalai Lama, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein have all been advocates for a secular compassion in society.
Jack Layton and Tony Blair's skill was to turn compassion as an ideal into something more meaningful, so people could see it put into action. Here in the UK, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the minimum wage were just some examples of how this was framed. Bush and Cameron do not quite have the same skill and have not tried to keep it on the agenda. This offers lessons for the Liberal Democrats to ensure that compassion is right at the heart of policy making, otherwise the claim that they are a compassionate party will only breed contempt and mistrust.
There are also lessons for the Liberal Democrats from Ted Kennedy, one of the longest-serving senators in US history who has also been considered to be one of the greatest. For Ted Kennedy, it was his compassion that gave him his outlook, the causes he fought for and how he went about his business. He played a major role in passing many laws that have had a dramatic effect on people's lives, including apartheid, disability discrimination, AIDS care and civil rights. He stood out from others in his party, working with anyone, even those outside of his philosophical comfort zone. Compassion gives a sense of purpose that transcends party political lines to strive for a better society. It gives a framework on which to work with others, even when you do not agree with their politics. It provides principles by which to guide our policies.
As the Liberal Democrats have been seen as compassionate, and they have now begun to market compassion as a selling point of the party, they need to start making it mean more than just words or gestures. The Liberal Democrats need to begin to define what kind of society they offer and how compassion fits into this. A liberal society is not the same thing as a big society as there are no principles which guide a big society. Without guiding principles, a big society could mean anything, but a liberal society is a compassionate one.
The first thing the Liberal Democrats should do is sign up to the Charter for Compassion, which is an international grassroots movement promoting a secular vision of compassion for the modern world. It is a document that transcends religious, ideological, and national difference. Supported by leading thinkers from many traditions, the Charter inspires worldwide community-based acts of compassion. The Charter demands people take action, recognising that our present policies – political, financial, environmental – are no longer sustainable, and that if any government, religion or person does not emphasise the compassionate ethos, they will fail the test of our time.
This Charter has been developed to be a grassroots movement so that everyone can get involved. It has begun to grow widespread support, with the Australian parliament recognising the Charter for Compassion and working to get it included in the educational curriculum. In the UAE, it has been introduced to the rulers and imams of the Arab world and they are beginning to sign up. In Malaysia, the former prime minister has formed an organisation devoted to implementing the Charter, and there are similar motions afoot in Singapore. It is a shame that there is not such recognition for it in Britain, considering the issues we have experienced in society; and that the idea came from Britain in the first place.
In April 2010, Seattle became the first city in the world to affirm the Charter for Compassion and the Mayor of Seattle proclaimed Seattle a 'Compassionate City'. The city has a group of committed people who meet citizens, non-profit organisations, educators, youth, businesses, and others to find ideas of how to make the city a more compassionate place. This has in itself spawned a whole range of local, onthe-ground initiatives to promote compassion and offers many policy initiatives that would fit very well into community politics and the Liberal Democrats' localism and community agendas. There are distinct similarities between the Charter for Compassion and the Liberal Democrat constitution, and it offers the Liberal Democrats a chance to make the theoretical idea of compassion a practical reality.
It would provide a more distinctive voice in local government by Liberal Democrat councillors and councils taking up the Charter for Compassion and setting up British Compassionate Cities/Councils. It taps into an established grassroots movement, which attracts many who may otherwise not get involved in politics, as well as those who might. But more importantly, it offers opportunities to make the places we live genuinely much better places to live. It offers a principle of how to use the Big Society – and it is this which is closer to a Liberal Society than the one currently on offer by the Conservatives, as compassion is a virtue and the cornerstone of greater social interconnectedness
Yet there is a bigger reason for supporting compassion in politics than just a tactical one; there is also a very strong moral case for compassion in politics. Without compassion, human sympathy or emotional identification with people, our politics would be a cold and brutal affair. Nelson Mandela could have taken a very different path to the one he did but he said that he learnt compassion from others while he was in prison. As President of South Africa, Mandela set out to transform the nation through compassion, which sought to bring understanding to those wronged by injustice as well as those accused of perpetrating the injustice.
So while technology moves rapidly forward with ever increasing ways to connect people, perhaps we should take a lesson in politics from Einstein. He believed compassion should be seen as a spiritual technology, and one which mankind needs as much as all other technologies that have connected us, as compassion is the only technology which provides us with the terrifying and wondrous possibility of actually becoming one human race.

This is a very motivational site: http://www.loseit.com/
No, I'm not a member but every now and then the lbs counter goes a few lbs up. How inspiring and how clear to know you're not alone in this. Really, makes me wanna eat even more clean than I'm already doing.
Going for a 60-minute walk right now. Bye!
I went for a walk with my dog this afternoon. It was real good. Relaxing after all the studying. The sun was shining so that made it ever better. My dog was really happy I went for a walk with her, which made me smile.
Then I eat some salad (lettuce, tomatoes and apple) with chicken. Added some spices and sweet hot chili sauce instead of dressing and holy cow, it was hot! But like we like to say, start to lovethe burn.
Then I studied some more, did my 30 mins cardio workout and in some minutes I'll do mean abs june. Day 12 already, I'm not sure my muscles are strong enough but my restday is tomorrow, so I'll push a little harder.
I want to weigh myself, but it's like way too early in the week.
Did you workout today? :)

Debate: Should students rely on technology for their homework?
Today, students use ipods, ipads, phones, laptops, and different tablets to use the internet to help them with their homework. Don't know a word? Google it. Don't know the answer to this math problem? Use a calculator. And so on. Does this make sense?

Oct 31 2012: Technology is a way to do things faster and why not, better but it isn't a goal in itself.
We shouldn't mix our goals with the ways we use to achieve them. Technology can help to be more productive but it's our willings and actions that define who we are and what we want to do in our life.
As a summary, the most important is that our kids / students want to learn how things work and how to improve them. If technology helps to achieve that goal, perfect!!

The heart and skeletal muscle are highly metabolic tissues that require abundant energy, and aberrant energy production in either of these tissues can lead to disease, including heart failure, muscular dystrophy, cachexia. The lab currently focuses on understanding the role of the PGC-1 family of coactivators in the regulation of metabolism in cardiac and skeletal muscle. The PGC-1 proteins are powerful regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and other metabolic programs in various tissues, including heart and muscle. In addition, we have recently shown that PGC-1alpha also regulates angiogenesis, thereby coordinating delivery of oxygen and nutrients with their consumption in mitochondria.

More Promised Change for Immigration Detention
January 27, 2010 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
On January 25, John Morton, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), gave a speech at an event hosted by the Migration Policy Institute.
The bulk of his remarks were devoted to reform of the immigration detention system. Morton reiterated that detention reform is a personal priority for him, and that ICE will engage in a sustained effort to transform the immigration detention system, an effort that will extend beyond his tenure. This effort was first announced in August 2009, and re-announced in October 2009. These announcements included fact sheets and media events laying out many of the reforms that Morton repeated this week. Given the enormous scale of this announced reform, and the lengthy timeline required, we will be monitoring and periodically reporting about progress here.
He noted that ICE currently detains as many as 32,000 people a day in a vast network of more than 300 mostly penal facilities that are for the most part county, state, federal, and private prisons that ICE contracts with.
That is the crux of the problem.
Some of the individuals ICE detains have been convicted of crimes, and the penal system is designed to incarcerate those in the criminal justice system. However, the vast majority of those ICE has detained are being held for violations of immigration laws. They are people who came here to work and have done so without authorization. If they can't show they have an avenue to stay here legally, they are being detained only until they can be removed—not because they have done anything more serious than work without permission.
What ICE needs, then, is to design a system that is appropriate to hold such people for a short period of time until their immigration cases are adjudicated and they are removed (or are found to be eligible for release).
Morton's vision is to have a smaller network of facilities designed to hold suspected immigration violators, with appropriate medical care and transparent standards that are fully implemented. These facilities will be managed by federal personnel. That's the long-range plan. It is a long way to there from where ICE is now.
Morton did give a preview of changes to expect in the coming months.
The agency will soon have 50 new employees to monitor detention facilities. (These same 50 positions were announced in October, but apparently have not yet been filled.) An overdependence on contractors and a lack of federal employees to monitor them were blamed by Morton for leading to some of the problems that have caused the detention system to come under public and Congressional scrutiny in recent months. Morton said his long-term goal is to have a federal monitor in each facility used by ICE.
By this summer, there will be an on-line detainee locator system, so the family members and representatives of detainees can figure out where they are being held.
ICE is developing a classification system so that when someone enters the system there will be an assessment to determine their danger to the community, flight risk, and medical status. Everyone with a medical issue will have a case manager assigned to them to ensure they receive appropriate medical care. What Morton didn't say is whether this classification system will result in a greater identification of those who qualify for release or enrollment in an alternatives to detention program.
The agency is now in discussion with contractors about designing a facility model that will be appropriate for the population ICE detains.
Morton also noted that ICE is working with groups to revise its detention standards, but implementation of new standards will take time. The problem with the current standards, he noted, is that they came out of the penal world, and they are not appropriate for the kind of civil system that he wants ICE to move toward. Reading between the lines, it will be difficult to fully implement the kind of detention standards advocates want as long as immigration violators are being held in prisons.
For many persons who are now routinely detained, ICE is exploring alternatives to detention. ICE will soon begin a pilot project with the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR, the immigration judges). This initiative was promised by January 2010 in the October detention reform announcement. He noted that widespread implementation of alternatives to detention (Morton said the agency has 16,000 or 17,000 slots funded) will require more resources for EOIR; the backlog of cases for immigrants in proceedings who are not detained (and thus have a lower priority for the immigration courts) is very long. The agency is about to submit a report to Congress on alternatives to detention. (Morton and Secretary Napolitano previously pledged to submit this report to Congress by Fall 2009.)
The Administration's budget, to be released on February 1st, should contain more clues as to what we can expect in the near term regarding the effort to reform the detention system. All of this will take resources, but the reforms ICE has begun to tackle are long overdue and deserve to be funded. Given that more than 100 people have died in immigration detention since 2003, these reforms could quite literally be lifesaving.

Deloitte: 80% will stay with current employer in the next yearDOWNLOAD
30 November, 2012- Though high unemployment persists and the global economic recovery remains halting and uneven, employers still face challenges filling technical and skilled jobs. According to the new global talent survey from Deloitte and Forbes Insights, Talent 2020: Surveying the talent paradox from the employee perspective, four out of five (80%) employees surveyed report that they plan to stay with their organizations over the next year—a significant 45-point swing from 2011, when nearly two in three employees surveyed (65%) were planning on leaving their organizations.
"Sourcing and retaining talented human capital has become a top priority globally. It will act as the differentiating factor in the prosperity of countries and companies, especially in emerging economies such as the Middle East," said Ghassan Turqieh, Human Capital consulting partner at Deloitte Middle East.
According to the survey, in the last 12 months 46% of surveyed employees have moved to new jobs (9%), received a promotion (22%), or changed roles (15%) with their current employers—all factors that might make them less inclined to move during the next 12 months. Yet nearly one-third (31%) of surveyed employees report they are not satisfied with their jobs.
Deloitte first uncovered this modern contradiction from the employer side in the January 2012 issue of Deloitte Review with "The talent paradox: Critical skills, recession, and the illusion of plenitude."In this latest Talent 2020 report, Deloitte turns its focus to the employee perspective on the talent paradox.
As more employees appear to be sitting tight in their current positions, companies may be tempted to neglect their talent and retention strategies out of a false sense of security that their employees are here to stay. However, the report warns that companies' most critical employees are also those with the most opportunities for movement.
"As employee expectations of business continue to grow, employers should keep a watchful eye on the latest employee attitudes and emerging talent trends," said Rana Ghandour Salhab, talent and communications partner at Deloitte Middle East. "Specifically, businesses may want to adjust their talent management initiatives to focus on retaining two workforce segments: employees with critical skills who are at a high risk of departure, and the capable leaders who can advance their companies despite continuing global economic turbulence," she added.
Based on the survey results and Deloitte's analysis of the talent market, Deloitte identified three emerging trends:
This edition of the Talent 2020 report reveals significant shifts in the talent market over the past year, particularly when it comes to turnover intentions. In order to help corporate leaders retain top talent, Deloitte recommends increasing a company's focus on utilizing and developing employee skills, emphasizing and rewarding authentic leadership, and fostering an environment with effective, transparent communication.
About the survey
Talent 2020: Surveying the talent paradox from the employee perspectiveis the fourth in a series of talent reports. Talent 2020 is a follow up to the Managing talent in a turbulent economy longitudinal talent survey series. This survey was conducted in collaboration with Forbes Insights to explore the changing priorities and needs of employees at global and large national companies. This report features results from a survey that polled 560 employees of large businesses in the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa across a range of major industries.

An Invitation
The Edmonton Oilers have invited defender Kirill Tulopov to training camp. This has been out there for a couple of weeks but you never know and I waited to post it until seeing it in two places online. The club also has the option of inviting the rookie tournament invites along but not all will make the grade. Among the players who could be on the TC roster are L Brett Ferguson (WHL–RNH's teammate), D Tyler Schmidt (WHL–turned some heads) C Chase Schaber (WHL), C Colin Smith (WHL), D Ryan Lowery (WHL) and D Wes Vannieuwenhuizen (WHL). G Adam Brown was sent back to Kelowna.
Tulupov is a big defender (6.04, 230 according to the EJ) and he was a 3rd rd pick for NJD in 2006. The Oilers selected D Theo Peckham in the same round, 8 spots later. He played junior in the QMJHL and played some in the KHL once turning pro.
The NJD blog Fire and Ice posted the following:
- Defenseman Kirill Tulupov will attend training camp this year as a tryout with Edmonton. The Devils drafted Tulupov in the third round (67th overall) in 2006—after Vasyunov and before Zharkov—but he was the only player from their 2006 draft class that they opted not to sign. They were unable to agree on a contract before the June 1, 2008 deadline and he went back into the draft. He was not drafted by anyone in 2008. He played briefly last season for Moscow Spartak in the KHL.
There is a mildly weird youtube video that serves as an adequate scouting report:

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2005 Kia Sportage
This 2005 review is representative of model years 2005 to 2010.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Much-improved compact sport-utility vehicle offers a lot for the money, especially with a V6 engine.
The new-generation Kia Sportage is worlds better than the old model, which was dropped nearly three years ago. The previous Sportage had a successful run following its 1995 debut, but finally fell far short of rivals in performance and refinement.
The redesigned 2005 Sportage looks sportier than the last-generation model and is longer, wider, taller and more powerful—besides being more refined.
The Sportage is similar to the new Tucson from Kia's parent company, Hyundai. Both vehicles have nearly identical dimensions and the same engines and car-like platform.
However, these two compact SUVs are built in different South Korean plants, and the Sportage looks a little sportier. Its suspension is tuned for sharper handling than the Tucson's, but its roadability is nothing to shout about if it's pushed hard.
Long Warranties a Plus
In 2004 both Hyundai and Kia easily topped their previous year's U.S. sales figures, and the companies continue to have strong sales in 2005. Their main strategy is to undercut the competition on price and standard features and continually improve their vehicles.
Question Marks
The funky Sportage convertible is long gone. This Kia now is offered as a 4-door SUV with a two-piece tailgate that comes in base LX and higher-line EX trim levels. It's sold with front-wheel drive or an all-wheel-drive system not meant for serious off-road use.
Front-wheel-drive versions have list prices from $15,900 to $20,100, while all-wheel-drive versions cost from $18,000 to $21,500.
Two Engines
The 4-cylinder is okay for city driving, but has no surplus of power on highways. The V6 provides lively acceleration in town and on the highway, at least with only a driver aboard. Still, an optional 3.0-liter V6 with 200 horsepower would be welcome, and such an engine reportedly is coming.
The 4-cylinder is backed by a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed automatic transmission, but the V6 comes only with the automatic, which should be more responsive. The automatic isn't as good as a more modern 5-speed unit, such as the one in the CR-V.
Competitive Fuel Economy
All Sportage versions have a good amount of comfort, convenience and safety items. They include six airbags, power door locks and windows, an AM/FM/CD sound system, a height-adjustable steering column, front/rear 12-volt power points and cruise control on the LX V6 version.
A shopping bag hook in the front passenger area keeps bags upright and accessible. That's one of those thoughtful, small features that may initially seem trivial but is appreciated over time.
The EX adds a power sunroof and remote keyless entry. Leather upholstery, heated front seats and an upgraded sound system are in an EX luxury option package.
Roomy Interior
Gauges can be quickly read, and there are large climate controls and a height-adjustable front center console with a two-stage tray top. But front and rear cupholders are set too low.
The low, wide cargo opening facilitates loading and "drop-and-fold" split rear seats can be moved entirely forward without much effort to significantly increase cargo space. There's no need to remove headrests and then search for a place to conveniently put them. Also, the front passenger seat folds flat to accommodate especially long cargo.
Average Handling With Hard Driving
However, roadability is helped if a driver pushes overly hard by standard traction control, an anti-skid system and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.
Steering is fast enough but has a rather spongy feel that takes getting used to. The ride is supple, thanks to a fully independent suspension and fairly long 103.5-inch wheelbase. Braking is quite good.
South Korean automakers have become much more of a threat in a relatively short time, as the new Sportage clearly shows

RES5/464: OsTd-Online - A System for Web-Based Standardised and Organ Specific Tumor Documentation
A Wolff; P Knaup; J Finnern; P Hermanek; G Wagner; KH Ellsässer; R Haux
University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
ABSTRACTIntroduction: The multitude of different tumor diseases, each of them having its own special and extensive procedures, requires documentation guidelines for clinical oncologists. One of these is the organ specific tumor documentation from G. Wagner and P. Hermanek (1995) which at present is updated and extended. The first edition embraces 36 chapters for the most common tumor diseases and two chapters for lung respectively liver metastasises. Each chapter consists of a list of questions about pre-therapeutical data, data concerning therapy and data concerning pathology. Additionally, there are special coding instructions for questions which need further explanation. Because of the advantages of having data not only written down on sheets of paper but stored in a database the new edition of the organ specific tumor documentation will only be delivered as electronic version. Therefore, a web-based documentation system called OsTd-Online is developed by the University of Heidelberg (Department of Medical Informatics) in cooperation with the German Cancer Society. OsTd-Online will cover all 43 chapters of the second edition and offer standardised case report forms for cancer patients in dependency of the kind of tumor.
Methods: Each chapter contains several case report forms built in HTML 4.0. Via JDBC-Connection the data could be inserted into an Access-Database. Documenting is supported by hyperlinks providing context-sensitive help (e. g. references to coding instructions or bibliography).Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) are used to facilitate uniform design. CSS is also utilized in combination with JavaScript 1.2 procedures to show respectively hide items that depend on the value of another item (e. g. the item 'surgeon' should only be displayed if the value of the item 'operation' is set on 'yes'). Moreover plausibility checks and special printing functions are implemented by JavaScript.
Results: The project is still under development. However, in September 1999 a prototype with full functionality will be finished including chapters for documenting Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and Progress of a patient as well as four chapters about organ specific tumor diseases. At the beginning of next year a CD-ROM with the first reduced version of OsTd-Online including about 15 organ specific chapters will be published.
Discussion: A standardised tumor documentation is a prerequisite for quality assurance and statistical research especially in multi-center clinical trials. By making OsTd-Online easy accessible for every interested physician we hope to motivate more physicians to document more carefully. Besides this OsTd-Online should improve the quality of documentation by automatic verification to increase correctness, completeness and consistency of documented data.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - City officials are asking people to not park in front of neighborhood debris piles because pick-up is underway.
Director of Public Works Mark Cotter says crews are concentrating efforts in central Sioux Falls for beginning of this first pass. He says if cars are parked in front of those piles they can't get in so the limbs will stay there longer and that will slow the whole cleanup project.
Cotter says the pickup works better and faster in the trees are cut to eight feet or less and stack them paralllel to the street so skid loaders can pick them up. He says equipment and workers from the county and state, private contractors and minimum security, non-violent inmates are collecting the debris.
He says when you go home tonight and find that your debris pile has been picked up, don't worry, the city will make multiple passes. Cotter hopes to eventually announce when and where crews will be working

This book doesn't really fall under the catagory of psychological fiction by child narrators. However, it is a bit similar to the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, except that it is non-fiction.

Ted's Review said:
Daniel has what's called "high functioning" autism. He is able to communicate extremely well and this book gives you a great idea of what it's like to be autistic. He is more of a reporter, without the "normal" emotions of others -- and this is made clear when you read what he writes. His fascination with math was a bit tedious to me (he memorized Pi to 21,000 decimal places!), but he is extremely likable and this book is a quick and fascinating read. You will find yourself experiencing a lot of empathy for someone who finds this to be such a difficult emotion.

One Opinion: Obama says buy a thingamajig

Thanks to President Barack Obama, we keep pouring money into failed businesses such as Solyndra because they made big campaign contributions to him. He's repaying his friends, taking taxpayers deeper in the red, while ostensibly going "green."
We taxpayers are told that we are doing a good thing because renewable energy is the way of the future.
And, it probably is, but forcing it down the throats of us taxpayers is not the way to go. We want to be green as much as the next guy, but he can't do it by putting our country in the red. It's not natural.
At least this time he's not giving more money to another failing company, or telling us to paint our roofs white, or to put more air in our tires. This time he's telling us to buy a thingamajig for our thermostat.
Here is the video so you can watch it for yourself! Go to:
And he's going to give us $3,000 with which to buy our thingamajig. You have to see it to believe it!

3 money tips for every income
Financial advice should be tailored to income level, from families below the poverty line to earners in the upper 20%. These tips offer a good place to start for any household.
If you've ever read money advice that didn't seem to apply to your situation, you may have been right.
Guidance that makes sense for a middle-income household might not apply if you're under the poverty line. If your income is on the lower end, you'll have different priorities and concerns than if your W-2 has six figures before the decimal point.
So I've tailored some tips using five income brackets that correspond, roughly, with the five income quintiles defined by the latest Current Population Survey, conducted jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau. Each bracket represents about 20% of U.S. households. There's plenty of overlap, since tips that apply to one bracket often apply to the ones above it as well. But these bits of advice will give you some idea of what you should focus on now.
Low income: Below $20,000
The official poverty line for a family of four is just under $22,000. Even if you don't consider yourself poor, you don't have a lot of financial wiggle room at the bottom of the income ladder. So here's what's most important:
- Save $500. Forget, for now, all the advice about saving three to six months' worth of expenses. That's a worthy "someday" goal, but you just need to save a few hundred bucks to start getting ahead. Having $500 set aside can help you cover minor emergencies and avoid payday lenders and bounced-transaction fees. For more, read "Why you need $500 in the bank." (These days, you should also consider a credit union instead of a bank. The fees tend to be lower, which is important when every dollar counts.)
- Get a break. If you earn income from a job or business, make sure you file a tax return and claim the earned income tax credit. This refundable credit, which is designed to help low- to moderate-income individuals and families, can put hundreds or even thousands of dollars in your pocket. Yet the Internal Revenue Service estimates one-fifth of taxpayers who qualify for this credit don't claim it. Another overlooked credit is the Savers Credit for low- to moderate-income workers. If you can put even a few bucks a year into a retirement account, you can get a tax credit for those contributions on top of being able to deduct them from your taxable income.
- Avoid businesses that will rip you off. Some types of businesses will charge you outrageous amounts of money because you're poor and may not have access to mainstream credit. These include payday lenders, rent-to-own outfits and buy-here-pay-here car lots. If you want to hang on to the little money you have, you need to steer clear. For more, read "5 businesses that rip off the poor."
Liz Weston
Lower middle income: $20,000 to $40,000
Review the tips for those earning under $20,000, because they probably apply to you as well. Then consider the following advice to help you get by:
- Limit your overhead. If you want to have money enough to pay off debt, save for the future and still have a little fun today, it's important to limit your overhead. Keeping your "must-have" expenses -- the costs for shelter, transportation, food, insurance and minimum loan payments -- to 50% of your after-tax income isn't easy, but doing so can ensure you have money left over for other goals. For more details, read "The 50/30/20 budget fix."
- Save for retirement. Social Security will provide a good-sized chunk of your income in retirement, because the system is set up to replace more of a lower-income worker's earnings than those of a higher-earning worker. (Someone earning $20,000 will get Social Security benefits equal to nearly 70% of his or her working income in Social Security, while someone making $40,000 will get a benefit equal to about half of pre-retirement income.) But you'll still want to put something aside to prevent a big drop in income once you quit work. Take advantage of any available workplace retirement plans. If you don't have a plan at work, open an individual retirement account at a discount brokerage or mutual fund, and set up automatic transfers to fund it.
- Set up savings buckets. Consider setting up separate savings accounts for irregular and nonmonthly expenses -- car repairs, holidays, vacations, property taxes, insurance payments. Online banks make this easy, since they typically don't have account minimums or monthly fees. You can set up automatic transfers so money is funneled into each account every payday. That way, the cash to cover bigger and unexpected expenses is there when you need it.

Middle income: $40,000 to $60,000
You're smack in the middle of U.S. incomes, but the tips that apply to the folks in the $20,000 to $40,000 bracket also apply to you. Here are the additional steps you need to take:
- Nuke your credit card debt. The percentage of households with credit card debt really starts to climb as income rises. More than half (54.9%) of middle-income households had credit card debt, according to the Federal Reserve's latest Survey of Consumer Finances, compared with 25.7% in the lowest quintile of income and 39.4% of those in the second-lowest quintile. Credit card debt is a cancer on your finances, because you're paying interest on stuff that has little or no current value. Getting in the habit of paying off your credit cards in full every month will save you a ton of money and help you reduce your risk of bankruptcy. Read "A debt payoff plan that works" for more.
- Step up your retirement savings. You should be getting your full company 401k match, if a match is offered. Keep boosting your retirement contributions by 1% a year until you're saving at least 10% of your income (15% is even better). The more you save now, the more options you'll have later.
- Boost your emergency fund. Once you're on track for retirement and your credit card debt is paid off, start funneling the money you once dedicated to debt into your emergency savings account. Accumulating an emergency fund equal to three months' worth of expenses could take you a few years, but that cash can help you sleep better at night.
