It's also pretty common to start with a bang and be off the diet and exercise regimen by the end of January, if you even last that long.

Throughout her career, Jan Wong has continuously reinvented herself. With the death of "Lunch with" two years ago, she's once again looking to cut out a new role
The bus platform at Toronto's Lawrence subway
station is uncharacteristically quiet for a Friday evening. There
are few commuters, no buses and little noise. It doesn't even
feel like rush hour until Jan Wong arrives. Wearing a green
hooded coat and bright royal blue backpack, Wong could just as
easily be coming from school as from a conference on human rights
in China. She is disarmingly youthful, energetic and talkative.
In fact, Wong's barely settled on a concrete bench when she
chirps up and offers directions to a stranger. Then she notices
the young woman sitting on the bench beside her. "I didn't even
see you there," Wong says cheerfully, turning toward her. The
woman, frizzy-haired and plaid-skirted, looks up from a game of
computer solitaire on her laptop and nods.
recognized your voice when you were talking," the woman says to
Wong. She giggles but doesn't say more. Wong giggles too, and
half-jokingly offers to give the woman directions. But when Bus
124 pulls up, the chitchat ends. Suddenly Wong is all business.
"Tell them to call me," she pleads, springing up from her seat.
"Tell them they should talk."
She touches her
companion's arm before walking away. "Tell them the story's
By "them," Wong means the parents of
nine-year-old Cecilia Zhang, a Toronto girl who was kidnapped
from her North York bedroom. Her baffling disappearance has
dominated the news for days, particularly in The Globe and Mail's
three-month-old Toronto section. Toronto editor Simon Beck has
two of his big guns on the Zhang case: while columnist Christie
Blatchford works the police angle, Wong covers the Chinese
This encounter with the woman at the
bus stop should prove useful - for once, Wong's byline might get
more play than Blatchford's. As a Zhang family friend, the
anonymous laptop woman has been able to provide Wong with
material - like how Cecilia was named after a Simon and Garfunkel
song - that has set her stories apart. But before Wong scored
this too-good-to-be-true source she had to rely on the shrewd
reporting tactics that have shaped her career as an investigative
journalist. For her third article, seven days after Cecilia's
disappearance, Wong talked her way into a North York neighborhood
home so she could peek out a window that overlooked the Zhang
family's back yard. This, she explains, was the only way to come
up with the following two sentences: "The kidnappers appear to
have jimmied open a kitchen window more than two metres above the
ground, facing the back yard. Cecilia's bedroom was above the
kitchen window, and also faced the back
Most Globe readers probably skimmed over
those 34 words. But that wouldn't matter to Wong, who's never
content with secondhand accounts or truths that can't be
confirmed with her own eyes. She just has to get as close to her
stories as possible and she'll do whatever it takes to get there.
"Jan comes from that old school of journalism," says Maryam
Sanati, Wong's editor at Report on Business Magazine. "She's one
tough cookie."
Wong's toughness is legendary.
And while it may not win her friends, it does mean she's bestowed
with a grudging respect from industry colleagues. If there's one
thing journalists agree on, it's that Jan Wong knows how to go
out and get a story. Call her pushy, fearless, tenacious,
persistent; any way you look at it, she's a reporter on a
mission. This demon reporting has led Wong to break some original
stories, such as her discovery that Terry Popowich, a senior
vice-president of the Toronto Stock Exchange, lied about
graduating from the London School of Economics. (Popowich was
immediately fired). But her toughness also courts controversy.
Some colleagues saw Wong's post-9/11 attempt to expose lax
airport security by bringing a box cutter onto an Air Canada
flight as little more than sensationalism. Readers questioned why
Wong risked putting others in danger for her
But what makes Wong controversial is also
what makes her one of the country's most talked-about reporters.
She rarely censors her thoughts, and spills them onto the printed
page with savage honesty - as anyone who's lunched with her would
know. Former "Lunch with Jan Wong" subject Pamela Wallin once
compared Wong to Hannibal Lecter. CBC's Michael Enright went even
further: "A request for lunch with Jan Wong is like hearing from
Revenue Canada - it's a phone call you don't want to
Wong's tough approach has seen her
through plenty of successful career roles. With three books, a
stack of newspaper credits and two distinct claims to fame, first
as a foreign correspondent and later as a columnist, Wong's
journalism has thrived by constant "self-reinventions" - a term
coined by Edward Greenspon, her boss at the Globe. Take a glance
at Wong's résumé and you'll see it's true
of her life, not just her work. Nestled among her brag-worthy
credits at The New York Times, the Globe and The Wall Street
Journal is "peasant, rural China" - her occupation from 1975-76.
"Pneumatic driller and lathe operator" is listed for the year
But it's a nagging pressure, this
self-reinvention. Since the death of Wong's column in 2002, she
has struggled to find a new niche at the Globe. Wong's most
promising stint - as an ROB Magazine writer - was sacrificed for
the Toronto section, where editors appreciate her name, if not
her talents. Sandwiched between other big-name writers, she
doesn't fare well. Like a handy crutch, her tough journalism
persists, propping up a few stories - like Cecilia Zhang. But so
far, it's not enough. Journalist Robert Fulford, like many in the
business, talks about Wong in the past tense. Still, like
everyone else, Fulford knows you can never count her out. "What
Jan Wong lacks at the moment is a role," he says. "That's
On a quiet Tuesday
in early September, Wong is anxious to get to her meeting.
Preferring to work from home, she hasn't been to the office since
the Globe launched its Toronto section. At noon, Wong will meet
many of her editors and colleagues for the first time. None of
this matters, of course. She has already predicted the meeting
will be a waste of time, conducted simply because the Globe is a
meeting-oriented institution and editors have nothing better to
do than hear themselves talk. But, she explains, rifling through
mail and blue sticky notes at her desk, she is anxious to get
there because there will be sandwiches - "Reporters will go far
for a free sandwich," she quips.
Wong is
usually - and remarkably - void of personal vanity or
self-consciousness. ("What would really embarrass me?" she once
asked in an article for Toronto Life. "It's hard to say when you
have no threshold of embarrassment.") She also has a penchant for
thinking aloud. "I'm checking my email - is that rude? Am I
rude?" Wong asks, whipping around in her chair. "Let's keep
talking, I'm just reading something."
long, Wong walks briskly through a maze of cubicles to a drab
boardroom at the back of the building. The room is empty, save
for Tony Reinhart, the Globe's newly hired Toronto columnist -
and the promised sandwiches. As more people trickle in and sit
down at the boardroom table, Wong unpackages the food and
distributes napkins. "Do I have to wash my hands because of
SARS?" she jokes. Then, as unfamiliar faces drift in, she asks
loudly, "Who's that? I don't know any of these
Once the room is full, Wong suggests
they go around the table introducing themselves. But as Saturday
Toronto editor Dianne de Fenoyl explains her role in the weekend
section, Wong quickly interjects: "You have egg on your face,"
she announces. De Fenoyl blushes while everyone else chuckles.
"That's just like Jan," someone at the other end of the table
It was at another
table - the family table - that Wong most likely came by her
legendary frankness. By the time Wong was born in 1952, the Wong
and (on her mother's side) Chong families had two generations of
Canadian experience behind them. Both families were survivors.
Wong's grandparents had paid the head tax imposed on Chinese
immigrants to Canada, while her parents and had lived through the
1923 Chinese Exclusion Act and become pioneers in the
Chinese-Canadian community. At family get-togethers, where
everyone battled to be heard, Wong learned the skill of speaking
Her childhood was comfortable, if
sheltered, growing up in Montreal with sister Gigi and brothers,
Earl and Ernest. Their father, Bill Wong, was a businessman and
successful restauranteur who urged his eldest daughter to adopt
the "Confucian work ethic" at an early age. So Wong brought home
good-girl grades and searched for a role model. Her mother, Eva
Wong, suggested then-journalist Adrienne Clarkson. Wong picked
Lois Lane.
That was before China's Cultural
Revolution. By 1972, Wong had replaced Lois Lane with a new
ideal: Beijing Jan. That summer a 19-year-old Wong moved to China
to study the language, find her roots and become her ideal: a
woman who could renounce capitalism, abandon Western society and
live the life of a Chinese peasant while propagating Mao Zedong's
vision. She was one of only two Westerners enrolled at Beijing
University at the height of Mao's Cultural
The next six years were Wong's most
formative. As a revolutionary, she studied Maoism at school,
worked as a lathe operator at Beijing Number One Machine Tool
Factory and lived off her own sustenance at Big Joy Farm in rural
China. "Bright Precious" Wong (as she was known in Chinese) also
watched as Mao's government perpetuated a two-tiered class system
and clamped down on civil liberties. Wong herself reported two
fellow workers to the authorities for their
"counter-revolutionary" plot to leave China for the West. Then,
at some point in all of this, Wong changed her mind about
In her 1996 memoir, Red China Blues, Wong
recounts her Maoist phase as "radical chic," naïve and
idealistic. "I thought I was a hard-nosed revolutionary," she
writes, "but I was really a Montreal Maoist." A passing fad,
perhaps, but one with lasting consequences. Experiencing Mao's
China firsthand pulled the tunic from Wong's eyes. Rather than
becoming disillusioned with power, she learned to be more
skeptical. She refused to be pushed around. And in doing so,
Beijing Jan acquired the skills that would lead to her
no-bullshit journalism.
In 1980, after working
as a news assistant for Fox Butterfield, The New York Times'
China correspondent, Wong returned to the West to complete her
Masters in journalism at Columbia University. Fresh out of
journalism school, she became the marine reporter at The Montreal
Gazette, where her editor, Joseph Gelmon, nicknamed her
"Skipper." Given a beat no one wanted in a puffy, lightweight
section, Wong opted instead to write investigative pieces about
the shipping industry. When a less hard-hitting competing
publication appeared, advertisers backed out and the paper killed
the marine section. Other novice journalists might have been
scared for their jobs or reputations. Wong simply thought: good
for me.
It was an attitude she would take with
her back to China. In 1988, after eight years working as a
journalist back home, Wong returned to Beijing as the Globe's
China correspondent. But this was a very different Beijing Jan.
For six years, Wong's hard eye reported a country in turmoil.
After Mao's death in 1976, the government was losing its grip on
political dissidents and in 1989, tensions erupted in a bloody
massacre at Tiananmen Square. Camping out on a hotel balcony
overlooking the Square, Wong watched and took notes as the body
count mounted.
Her furious, methodological
documentation of the Tiananmen massacre earned Wong a reputation
back home. "[Tiananmen] was one of her real high points," recalls
John Fraser, Wong's predecessor as Beijing bureau chief. "That's
when I realized she was a superb journalist." Others agreed, and
in 1994, Wong returned to Canada as the Globe's darling. She
brought with her a strengthened conviction for real reporting in
Canada's landscape of polite, sycophantic and politically correct
journalism. She knew people might get hurt by her tough words,
but she also knew that, back home in Canada, freedom of speech
was hers to exercise. "I know that people get upset [at what I
write]," Wong explains. "But I'm not afraid. We have so little to
fear as journalists in the West. So I'm going to have a
reputation. Big deal. I'm not going to have my house firebombed.
That's real fear."
o o o
in Toronto, Wong wasn't exactly safe. After publishing a
best-selling memoir, she prepared herself for the possibility
that, like many foreign correspondents before her, she could
disappear into obscurity. But Wong didn't disappear, she
reinvented herself - again. And as Jan Wong the columnist, she
became more famous still.
"Lunch with Jan Wong"
wasn't Wong's idea, but it was certainly her creation. It began
when Wong's editor Cathrin Bradbury asked her to write a profile
of author Margaret Atwood that made readers feel as if they were
sitting at the lunchtime interview. It took off when Wong's
behind-the-scenes portrayal of the meeting revealed everything
from Atwood's surprising shortcomings (she couldn't spell
macaroni) to her appalling diva behaviour (after choosing the
restaurant, Atwood complained about the table and refused to
eat). From there, Wong had to figure out how to follow her own
act. So, she perfected the art of the inappropriate questions -
like the length of KISS frontman Gene Simmons' penis or whether
Canadian beauty queen Danielle House was menstruating the day she
posed nude for Playboy. And only Wong, with her unassuming
little-Asian-girl bit, could always get those answers. The column
became a must-read.
Wong's "Lunch with" style
was typically light, if condemnatory. Her take on Canadian author
Evelyn Lau: "Now, I left my comfortable Montreal home at nineteen
to voluntarily haul pig manure in China during the Cultural
Revolution. But I have trouble understanding why someone so smart
would drop out of school and run away from home at fourteen and
end up as a junkie-whore."
Critics like
journalist Allan Fotheringham called her unsympathetic, unhappy
even. Yet readers generally welcomed Wong's hard eye - as long as
her gaze was focused on public figures. It was when she veered
from the relative safety of celebrity profiles to write about
everyday people that Wong was more often accused of being
indiscriminately judgmental. Her column on Toronto beggar Nancy
Lynn Hallam was particularly controversial. Her description of
Hallam partly read: "She was fat - 277 pounds on a five-foot-two
inch frame. And she always begged from a government-supplied
$4,000 Ultramatic wheelchair-scooter, less a necessity than an
accessory… [She] was wearing blue eye shadow, pink stretch pants,
a teal-blue sweatshirt, and a soiled white hockey
Letters flooded in to the Globe about
Wong's harsh description of an ordinary person - and about her
questionable decision to take a homeless woman to a fancy
restaurant for its sheer shock value. But Wong makes no apologies
for this, or any of her other columns. "When you're a
journalist," she says, "you have to be very critical and
analytical of people - whether they're rich or poor. I don't
treat anybody with deference." But as willing interview subjects
became harder to find, "Lunch with" was eventually
The column survived just over six
years, from 1996 to 2002. Some, like Fotheringham, would say it
was six years too long. Even friends, such as Globe colleague
John Saunders, felt Wong's fierce reporting was wasted on the
trivial celebrity beat and were glad to see her move on. But
moving on would be Wong's biggest challenge yet. Unlike her news
writing, the distinct narrative voice of "Lunch with" made Wong a
subject of her own journalism. She was now a persona. As Fulford
wrote in his review of the "Lunch with" book, "[it] tells us only
a little about each subject, but it amounts to an extensive
portrait of Wong."
That self-inked portrait
lingers on. These days, Wong faces two equally unappealing
possibilities: that readers can't remember her name outside of
"Lunch with" infamy, or that they can't remember her name at
It is late
November, nearly four months since the birth of the Toronto
section, and the days are getting shorter and colder. Cecilia
Zhang is no longer on the front pages (Wong won't revisit the
story until the spring). So, with nothing better to do, Wong goes
to Rochester, New York, for an inconsequential story about a
ferry line that will soon link that humdrum city to Toronto. Her
editors aren't crazy about the piece but she can't postpone the
assignment any longer. She's tired. She has other things on her
mind. And to top it all off, it's
Walking into Rochester mayor William
Johnson Jr.'s office, Wong looks, by her own admission, quite
pathetic - "Like a drowned cat." Perhaps because of this, Wong
speculates, her interview with Mayor Johnson goes very well. Her
story, "Ferry Bad Place" goes on to impudently outline the
reasons Torontonians wouldn't want to go to Rochester, even
quoting the mayor himself about one particular stretch of the
city: "I wouldn't walk there. Don't go there
With its damning details and
acid-dipped humour, the Rochester story is classic Wong. And,
like other classic Wong articles, it creates quite a stir. Wong's
editors are pleasantly surprised; the people of Rochester are
outraged. The mayor writes into the Globe and refers to Wong as
"Rush Limbaugh in drag." Even The New York Times picks up the
story about Rochester's indignation. But Wong, for her part,
seems unperturbed. She is, in fact, bemused. Aside from the
hassle of constant interview requests, she thinks the story is no
big deal. And comparisons to Limbaugh fail to faze her. As she
tells the Times, China's secret police are capable of much worse
You wouldn't expect any less from a
woman who, in Fraser's words, "is someone whose errors of
judgment are as big as her successes." The thing about Wong is
that her errors and her successes can sometimes be one and the
same. "There must be people who roll their eyes and say, 'There
she goes again!'" Wong says of the Rochester story. But, she
adds, "I love doing that kind of thing." Being mischievous,
causing a stir - these things come naturally to a journalist who
prefers infamy to obscurity and self-reivention to
predictability.If Wong's editors at the Globe would recognize
this, they could save her from her current
Whether to promote good citizenship or
just good gossip, every society needs a troublemaker. This is one
role, at least, that should always be open to Wong if she wants
it. And she does.

I think that's actually kind of classic Holocaust revisionism, which is the lite, polite version of Holocaust denial.

It's "ironic" that people who "profess equality and brotherhood" would have a problem with people who advocate genocide?"Having a problem" with their hatred isn't ironic. Expressing that opposition to hate as more hate is.
The irony comes from who was sending the hate mail, namely "people professing equality and brotherhood". You can't hatefully profess equality and brotherhood. Hence, irony.I don't know about "brotherhood," but I also wonder if the hate mail used the exact word "brotherhood." I think you can hatefully express the idea that people of all races and ethnicities should be equal and that those who think otherwise are mistaken. As much as some people would like to pretend it's so, hating someone for being a Jew is not the same as hating someone because they think it's ok to kill Jews.
You can't hatefully profess equality and brotherhood.Of course you can. Again, it may be counterproductive or even wrong, but it's not irony except when viewed through a simplifying lens.

We had this issue and I discovered it happens when the plotter/printer margin in the modify standard paper sizes area of the plotter manager is set to zero.
I changed the margins to 1 and all our problems went away
Shape of viewport does not change problem
Our occured with plain rectangular....all issues resolved changing the margins
I was having the same problem with any text that got close to the viewport edge being cut off. I found in the PC3 files if you look under the device and Document settings, there is a TrueType Text. Select this as graphics rather than text........I have no idea why. Maybe because TrueType fonts are more of a Microsoft than a AutoCAD thing....I don't know. It worked for me.
Excellent tip. Works like a charm!

" Brand: Trixe / Type: Dog Beds "
I have got a westie called George who I didn't want to leave behind when I moved in with my fiancé so he came with me. My fiancé didn't want him upstairs or in our bed though. George was used to sleeping with me every night in my bed, so rather than getting him one of the run of the mill plastic beds I decided to have a look around at all the different ones online. I ended up getting him this one as it looked nice and soft and comfortable.
The price varies for this bed depending on the size that you buy. It's available in three different sizes - small, medium and large. I bought the medium which is 70cm in diameter and I paid £12 for it. This was a discounted price as I bought it from a cheap pet supplies website and the full retail price is £17.99 which is still a reasonable price in my opinion.
I bought this online so wasn't too sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Compared to most of the other dog beds I came across this was very cheap so I didn't think it'd be that good but it is fab and just what I wanted for George. George likes his comforts and this is lovely and soft and he loves laying in it and sitting in it. When I first moved in with my fiancé George was quite upset and anxious as he wasn't allowed upstairs with us so the fact that this bed is lovely and comfortable and warm was probably of some comfort to him.
I wish in hindsight that I has bought it before we moved so that he could get his smell on it and be used to it but nevermind. The bed we have is round, black on the outside with beige coloured paws and beige on the inside with black paws, however as the bed is reversable this can be changed around. I think there are different colours available but this was the only colour in stock on the site I bought it from and it's a nice basic, neutral colour scheme. George is white so it's good that the black is on the outside of the bed else his hairs would show up and look scruffy, so that's handy!
The bed is just the right size for George, who's a little on the porky side and big for his breed and a large cat would easily be able to fit in it. This could be used as a bed for a range of different animals and if me and my fiancé end up getting the kitten we spotted for sale a couple of days ago, I will certainly be buying another of these beds for it (there's no chance George would want to share!)
The only disadvantage to this bed is that the fleecey bit doesn't come off, it's all in one part so it needs to be washed as a whole and takes a day or two to dry completely. I've only washed it around 3 times in over a year as George is a very clean little guy so I've only needed to wash it when it starts looking a bit hair-ridden and scruffy! The material became noticeably more bobbled after the first wash, but this is only noticeable up close.
If you have a dog or puppy who isn't the best at going outside for the toilet and who often has accidents, then I wouldn't recommend this bed as you will end up having to wash it very regularly and I'm not sure that smells would come out of this very easily. Luckily George has never piddled on it so i cant really comment on how much it holds smells/how well smell comes out of it, but because of the material this bed definitely isn't best suited to a dog that isn't fully toilet trained.
I'd definitely recommend this dog bed! It is soft and comfortable and george sleeps like a baby in it so clearly he finds it nice and cosy. It is very good value even at the full RRP and I give it give out of five stars.
Cuddly and comforting small round Trixie dog bed colour black with beige paw print pattern

Your Signature Work: Play Your Position
- Tuesday, August 24, 2004
- We plan to be a quality team. Therefore, I need to schedule a training class for my staff. I need to find a way to generate, save, or negotiate for $20,000 in my budget.
- I want to be a great salesperson. Therefore, I'll need to find a coach so I can get good feedback on my performance.
- I want to become a leader with opportunities to influence my division in ethical matters. Therefore, I'll have to earn respect from others with a team that finishes projects on time, within budget, and meets quality standards. So I'm going to need to recruit, hire, train and retain talented people to work for me.
Accountability is about holding the ball in your hands, looking at the positions of your teammates, glancing at the game clock, and deciding for yourself whether to pass, dribble or shoot. It takes courage to call your own plays.
Those who shrink from responsibilities keep on shrinking in other ways too.
A director of operations talks about one of the highlights of his twenty-five year career: "We needed to buy or lease a new facility for an acquisition we were about to make. It was bleeding about $3 to 4 million a month, and we needed to get the expenses under control. So that was in my realm of responsibility. My team studied the problem, and then I went to the president and said, 'I can fix the problem in about four months if you'll give us the money.'
"The president asked, 'How much?'"
"Two million.'"
"You got it," he said, "but you better deliver.'"
"And we did. We looked like heroes. We took full accountability for our plan. We told him we'd use our experience from previous acquisitions to hire consultants and make all the related decisions. Sure enough, we stopped the financial blood flow in four months. This division is now our most profitable. But he would never have let us have the money if we had not accepted full responsibility for the results."
In the current work culture with teams driving almost every initiative, it's difficult to find an individual or department who accepts full responsibility for a situation. Rather, it's far too easy to shrug your shoulders and pass the ball of blame to the next team or individual on the list.
In recent years individuals have attempted to take responsibility for their personal development – character traits, attitude, and career development – with performance tools and peer feedback systems. Some have been successful in making significant changes in their personality and performance, based on how others perceive them. Others have shrugged off peers' perceptions as unwarranted and plunged ahead, persisting in old habits.
Accountability can be tough or rewarding, depending on your purpose and ego strength.
Articles of Accountability
You may want to consider adopting the following Articles of Accountability as a way to paint a key on the court at your workplace and force yourself to stand behind the free-throw line on occasion, just as other people have to do.
Expect As Much from Yourself As You Do from Those above You
People in positions of authority are human beings struggling with the same weaknesses, worries, and warts that we all have. Why hold them to some super standard that you yourself do not model and criticize them for infractions that you would not want to be criticized for? They fail just like everyone else. Continually complaining about what the "powers that be" or politicians or the government should do is pointless.
The thing I like about baseball is that it's one on one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run.

Naoya Hatakeyama: Natural Stories, at SFMOMA via 7x7SF
We may find a grand narrative of human civilization, Hatakeyama suggests, in the life of a hunk of limestone. Blasted from a cliff or dug from a quarry, then transported great distances and finally processed into cement or brick, the hunk ultimately comes to provide structural support for a skyscraper in the teeming, vertical metropolis of Tokyo. Hatakeyama's breathtaking aerial shots reveal this city to be, as the artist puts it, but a negative image of the quarry to which it owes its material.

I was raised to play games. I was no good at being on teams and I wasn't about to submit myself to voluntary cardiovascular activity, so it became clear early in my childhood that I wasn't going to gain any skill for rule-following, cooperation, collaboration, brainstorming, problem-solving, or focus (much less any pleasure) from sports. So instead, I played games on the family computer, by myself or with my sister Sara or with my friends, and my dad and Sara and I played video games together at night and on the weekends.
My parents supplied us with a steady stream of educational computer games — Midnight Rescue! and Mega Math Blasters, the Carmen Sandiego games, games to help our typing skills and spelling; whatever subject they felt we needed help with at school, they got us a game. And I loved logic quests: Zoombinis was my favorite computer game, and when I played on our Nintendo systems with my sister and my dad, they fought the bosses while I figured out the side quests and puzzles. We got Myst when it came out when I was six and it was way over my head, but I watched while Sara played, read the official companion book, and drew landscapes based on its worlds. Keep reading »

He was taken to York Hospital for treatment of a single gunshot wound.
His condition is unknown at this time.
The shooter, a 31-year-old, was taken into custody by troopers.

Cystic Fibrosis
Table of Contents
Cystic fibrosis occurs in about 1 in 2,500 births in Victoria. All patients are seen at the Royal Children's Hospital at the time of diagnosis, which is usually in the first year of life. Some patients living in the south-east of the city or eastern Victoria are cared for jointly by the department of Thoracic Medicine at the RCH and the Department of Paediatric Respiratory Medicine, MMC.
The prognosis has improved very considerably over the last 20 years and most patients now reach adulthood. In the ward the resident medical staff will see patients who have acute flare-ups of chest infection and those with severe lung disease. The 50% of patients who have little chest trouble are rarely admitted to the ward, so staff are likely to have a biased view of the condition.
The development of a very positive attitude by the parents from the time of diagnosis seems to be very important in the prognosis. The handling of the family at the time of diagnosis is carefully planned. If they are given a gloomy outlook, this can be hard to change.
Inpatient Management
Admission of Infants and Children with Possible CF
If the possibility of CF has been raised with the parents, the Consultant will tell you. If it has not, the words 'Cystic Fibrosis' should not be mentioned to the parents. If they ask why a sweat test is being done, say it is to sort out the baby's problems. If they want further information they should speak to the consultant. Once the diagnosis has been established, both parents will be seen by the Consultant and the diagnosis given. If the parents ask for the result of the sweat test prior to the interview, it is best to say that the result is not yet available.
The Paediatric Respiratory Physician will outline the patient management following diagnosis.
Admission of a CF patient for Treatment of Exacerbation of Chest Infection
Children admitted with an acute exacerbation are usually kept in hospital until they have returned to their previous state or their condition has plateaued. A 'tune-up' is usually is for a period of two weeks. If further benefit is anticipated from a longer admission then a patient may stay for a further week. Admissions for more than 3 weeks are very unusual.

4th CULTURE STUDIOS BRAINCHILD OF PAINTER/PROFESSIONAL
THURSDAY JANUARY 12th, 2012
Benjamin Duke had just finished undergrad when he landed a spot at Poor Yorick, an artist's space in Salt Lake City run by Brad Slaugh. "I got absorbed into this wonderful community," said Duke. "The people were focused on creating new work. There was a constant creative energy, a sense of accountability. We regularly had Open Studios where artists welcomed the public into their studio space. Sometimes we had as many as 300 or more people coming through." Duke's experience at Poor Yorick provided the vision for 4th Culture Studios.
"First you have culture, and then comes counter culture, then the reactionaries, and then there's us." That's how Duke explains the meaning behind 4th Culture Studios. "It also relates to the concept of third culture kids," said Duke, "someone who has a parent from one culture, another parent from a different culture and he or she lives in a third culture. The kids end up having all of these tendrils into all these points of reference."
Duke, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Art History, arrived at MSU six years ago. "I thought 'the community' would spontaneously arise," he said. He soon realized it would take some effort on his part to get it going. For Duke it all started with the right space. "I'd been in other studios, but it felt like I was working in isolation. I like having other artists close at hand. It's important for me to share resources and ideas." He eventually found what he was looking for in the John Bean Building in Lansing. Duke describes the warehouse space as raw. "I wanted something big and flexible and the owner of the warehouse was willing to work with me. He didn't care if I got paint on the floor."
Duke got the space almost two years ago. "It was just me for the first year and a half," he said. Then in September of 2011, he made a push for artists. "We now have a broad mix of artists and the space accommodates each one of them." The goal was to create a space that was communal enough to create what Duke calls art energy. It's an energy one can palpate when you visit the 4th Culture studios of painter Stephanie Palagyi from Montana, multi-medium artist Marissa Tawney Thaler from Grand Rapids and Shontae Collins from Detroit who uses reclaimed materials in her work.
"We're not sure what it will become," said Duke. "It's a definite leap into the unknown. The character of the space is still forming. It can become whatever people want to make it. We're relying on each other to create the space." They had their first Open Studio in October of last year with another one planned for this spring. "It's a great opportunity to allow the broader community to share our experience," said Duke.
According to his artist statement Benjamin Duke has a unique approach to gaining inspiration for his paintings. For Duke, art is a lot about trying to understand his experience of the world. "It happens through reading and looking at works of art and the simple experience of living," said Duke. "That's what creates my images. I often end up working in a series. When an idea captures me I run with it. The making of the work is richest when I'm not exactly sure what I'm making." That, in many ways, describes Duke's vision for 4th Culture Studios.Duke uses the metaphor of flow in describing how he hopes the space and an art energy can continue to evolve. "Like flowing water, it can leak into cracks and open things up, And like water, if the work keeps coming, it also has the power to break loose solidified ideas, shift the energy."
"We want to create something that's vibrant and resonates," said Duke. "People want to be around people who have that." If the universal law of likes attracting likes holds true, no doubt the energy flowing from 4th Culture Studios has the power to transform a city.
