The northern coal skink (Eumeces anthracinus) is one of three lizards native to New York State. Elusive and understudied, this species is of particular interest to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Nature Conservancy and the Natural Heritage Program. With the support of these agencies my research has focused on finding skink locations, understanding their habitats and determining whether populations are viable enough to warrant future research. These efforts will assist environmental agencies in understanding the coal skink and requirements needed for its conservation.

- Benefits of an Oxygen Reservoir Cannula versus a Conventional Nasal Cannula during Exercise in Hypoxemic COPD Patients: A Crossover Trial. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Oct 16.
Background: The Oxymizer® is a special nasal cannula that provides a higher luminal diameter in combination with an incorporated oxygen (O2) reservoir. It is assumed that a higher O2 concentration can be delivered breath by breath in order to increase oxygenation. Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of the Oxymizer on endurance time in comparison to a conventional nasal cannula (CNC). Methods: Forty-three patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, age 60 ± 9 years, FEV1 37 ± 16% pred.) and indications for LTOT were recruited during pulmonary rehabilitation for this cross-over study. After an initial maximal incremental cycle test, all patients performed 4 cycling endurance time tests at 70% of their peak work rate (twice with the Oxymizer and twice with a CNC, in reverse order). Results: The endurance time was significantly higher when patients cycled while using the Oxymizer in comparison to while using the CNC [858 ± 754 vs. 766 ± 652 s; between-group difference 92 s (95% confidence interval 32-152), p < 0.001]. In addition to a longer cycling duration, O2 saturation at isotime was significantly higher with the Oxymizer (93.5 ± 5.4 vs. 90.4 ± 5.3%; p = 0.027). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation (r = 0.427, p = 0.002) between the O2 flow rate and improvements in the constant work rate test, showing greater improvements in favor of the Oxymizer in patients with a higher demand for O2 (≥4 liters/min). Conclusion: We show that O2 delivery via the Oxymizer is superior to a CNC with regard to endurance capacity and oxygenation during exercise in patients with severe COPD. It seems that patients with a higher demand for O2 (≥4 liters/min), in particular, may benefit more from the use of the Oxymizer. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Stent-Mediated Gene Delivery for Site-Specific Transgene Administration to the Airway Epithelium and Management of Tracheobronchial Tumors. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Oct 16.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Gene therapy is currently under investigation as a means of managing a variety of pulmonary diseases. Unfortunately, gene transfer to bronchial epithelium has been hampered by the lack of stable and efficient transduction. Recent studies have shown that gene vectors could be tethered to the metallic surfaces of intra-arterial stents. This approach enables efficacious and site-specific adenoviral gene delivery to the vascular endothelium. Objectives: We hypothesized that airway mesh stents impregnated with viral gene vectors could be used for local gene delivery to benign and malignant bronchial epithelium. Methods: Serotype 5 adenoviral vectors (Ad5, E1-/E3-) containing the reporter genes green fluorescent protein (Ad.GFP) or β-galactoside/LacZ (Ad.LacZ), or a therapeutic gene, Ad.INF-β, were coupled to either metallic mesh disks or stents via anti-Ad knob antibodies. These platforms were assessed for their ability to transfect bronchial epithelial cells from both rats and humans, as well as murine (L1C2) and human (A549) lung cancer cell lines. Gene transfer was quantified by fluorescent microscopy, scanning fluorimetry for Ad.GFP, and light microscopy studies assessing β-galactosidase staining for Ad.LacZ. Metallic mesh and stent-mediated gene transfer was also performed in a murine flank tumor model and in a rat endotracheal tumor model in order to evaluate the therapeutic potential. Results: In these studies, murine and human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were successfully transfected with reporter genes in vitro. Ad.LacZ-complexed mesh successfully transfected reporter genes into established murine flank NSCLC tumors. In addition, Ad.LacZ-tethered stents could effectively transfect both tracheobronchial epithelium and submucosal glands in rats. Similar epithelial transfection was achieved in ex vivo human bronchial epithelium. Pilot in vivo experimentation provided data supporting the concept that therapeutic genes could also be delivered with this technology. In additional pilot in vivo experiments, the growth of murine flank tumors was inhibited by placement of mesh disks coupled with Ad.muINF-β, and rats bearing endotracheal tumors demonstrated a trend towards prolonged survival with insertion of Ad.ratINF-β-tethered stents. Conclusions: Stent-mediated gene delivery successfully enabled site-specific vector administration to target rat and human airway cells in cell culture, organ culture and in vivo. Local tracheobronchial gene delivery via stents could provide a viable clinical solution for overcoming the difficulties encountered with vector delivery within the lungs, in particular by lowering requisite vector titers and by directing desired vectors to areas of interest. This strategy may prove valuable for treating tumors involving the tracheobronchial tree, as well as other nonmalignant tracheobronchial disorders. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Suitability of Small Bronchoscopic Tumour Specimens for Lung Cancer Genotyping. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Oct 9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Biomarker-driven clinical trials in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) usually accept biopsy specimens only, as cytology specimens are supposed to be more challenging due to low neoplastic cell content and suboptimal DNA quantity. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate 2 aspects of bronchoscopic biopsy and cytology specimens: (1) the proportion of neoplastic cells and quantity of DNA extracted, and (2) the detection limit of the Scorpion amplification refractory mutation system on endoscopic samples obtained in daily clinical practice. Methods: We screened 679 patients with advanced-stage NSCLC for the presence of an activating EGFR mutation according to the guidelines of the European Society of Medical Oncology. Their diagnostic tumour tissue samples were characterized. A dilution experiment was performed to determine the minimal proportion of neoplastic cells for a reliable test result. Results: Surgical biopsies, bronchoscopic forceps biopsy samples and needle aspiration cytology specimens exhibited a median tumour cell proportion of 70 versus 30 versus 20% and a DNA quantity of 2,500 versus 1,610 versus 1,440 ng, respectively. The overall EGFR mutation rate was 11%, with no differences between different sample types. Dilution experiments showed that the detection limit depends on the type of mutation. A neoplastic cell content of at least 10 and 25% for exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R point mutation, respectively, was required for a true negative result. Conclusions: Bronchoscopic forceps biopsy and needle aspiration cytology specimens are suitable for accurate EGFR mutation analysis using single-gene quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Technologies with a better analytical sensitivity are evolving and should consider these endoscopic tumour specimens. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Overexpression of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Lung Tissue of Patients with Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Oct 7.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Although blebs and bullae are frequently found in the apexes of lungs of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), its pathogens remain unclear. Objectives: To examine the role of proteases [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-7 and MMP-9] and antiproteases [tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP-4] in the pathogenesis of PSP. Method: Fifty consecutive PSP patients who received standard surgical care were enrolled in the study. Lung tissues from 20 patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer were used as a control. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and gelatin zymography were used to evaluate the expression of MMP and TIMP in the lung tissue of patients with PSP. Results: Overexpression of MMP-2, MMP-7 and MMP-9 was found in the afflicted lung by IHC, zymography and RT-PCR. By IHC, higher expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in PSP patients was identified in alveolar macrophages and type II pneumocytes (88 and 92% of patients in macrophages, and 72 and 70% of patients in type II pneumocytes, respectively). MMP-2, MMP-7 and MMP-9 expression in patients was higher in mesothelial cells (66, 76 and 76%). Overexpression of TIMP-2 was detected in the extracellular matrix around bullae and blebs. Expression levels of TIMP-1, TIMP-3 and TIMP-4 were negligible (<10% of cells) in both PSP patients and controls. Conclusions: MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-7 and TIMP-2 were upregulated in PSP lesions. These results suggest that an imbalance between the expression of proteases and antiproteases may be involved in the pathogeneses of PSP. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Cost-Effectiveness of Endobronchial Valve Therapy for Severe Emphysema: A Model-Based Projection Based on the VENT Study. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Sep 30.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Endobronchial valve (EBV) therapy is an innovative treatment that has been shown to be safe and effective in selected subgroups of patients with severe emphysema. Objectives: The objective of our study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of EBV therapy compared to the medical management of patients with high heterogeneity, complete fissures and lobar exclusion in the context of the German health-care system. Methods: Clinical data from a subset of VENT (Endobronchial Valve for Emphysema Palliation Trial) provided information about clinical events, health-related quality of life, and disease staging for 12 months. This information was subsequently used to project long-term disease progression, mortality, and health resource utilization. We computed the 5- and 10-year incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) in euros per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). Costs and effects were discounted at 3% per year. Results: EBV therapy led to clinically meaningful disease restaging at 12 months (37.8% of the cohort improved staging, compared to 0% in the controls). Over 5 years, EBV therapy was projected to increase survival from 66.4 to 70.7%, and to add 0.22 QALYs. Costs were estimated to increase by EUR 10,299, resulting in an ICER of EUR 46,322 per QALY. Over 10 years, 0.41 QALYs were gained at an additional cost of EUR 10,425, yielding an ICER of EUR 25,142 per QALY. Conclusions: Our model-based analysis suggests that EBV therapy leads to clinically meaningful changes in disease staging and progression when compared to medical management, with resulting gains in unadjusted and quality-adjusted life expectancy. Our results indicate that EBV therapy is cost-effective in the German health-care system. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Targeting Inhaled Therapy beyond the Lungs. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Sep 24.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Pulmonary disease has been the primary target of inhaled therapeutics for over 50 years. During that period, increasing interest has arisen in the use of this route of administration to gain access to the systemic circulation for the treatment of a number of diseases beyond the airways. In order to effectively employ this route, the barriers to transport from the lungs following deposition of aerosols must be considered, including the nature of the disease (whether proximal, as in pulmonary hypertension, or distal, as in diabetes). Delivery to the systemic circulation begins with the efficiency of aerosol generation and subsequent deposition in the airways and proceeds to the influence of mechanisms of clearance, including absorption, metabolism, and mucociliary and cell-mediated transport, on the residence time of the drugs in the lungs. The nature of the drug (small or large molecules/low or high molecular weight), susceptibility to degradation and general physicochemical properties play a role in the chemistry of its formulation, physics of aerosol delivery and biology of disposition. © 2014 S.

- Predictors of Hospital Admission Two Months after Emergency Department Evaluation of COPD Exacerbation. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Sep 10.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Limited information is available regarding the factors related to short-term hospital admission following an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD). Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify variables related to short-term admission in patients with an eCOPD. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of patients with an eCOPD who attended an emergency department (ED) at 1 of 16 hospitals. Information on possible predictor variables was recorded during the ED stay, 24 h after admission to the hospital or after ED discharge home, and at hospital discharge or 1 week later if discharged home from the ED. An admission after an eCOPD within 2 months was the outcome of interest. Multivariate models were employed for patients admitted to the hospital or discharged home from the ED. Results: For patients discharged home from the ED, eCOPD-related hospital admissions in the previous year [odds ratio (OR) 1.98 and 2.33], pCO2 at ED admission (ORs 2.02 and 2.90), the number of ED visits within 1 week of the index ED visit (OR 5.14) and dyspnea level 1 week after the index ED visit (ORs 2.66 and 1.40) were predictors of short-term admission [area under the curve (AUC) 0.82]. For patients admitted to the hospital during the index ED visit, baseline FEV1% (ORs 1.32 and 1.88), eCOPD-related hospital admissions in the previous year (ORs 1.28 and 2.51), severe baseline dyspnea (OR 2.57) and dyspnea level 1 week after the index ED visit (ORs 2.15 and 1.74) were predictors of short-term readmission (AUC 0.73). Conclusions: Just a few easily recorded parameters may allow clinicians to identify patients at a higher risk of short-term readmission and establish preventive strategies. © 2014 S.

- Disability and recovery of independent function in obstructive lung disease: the cardiovascular health study. [Journal Article]
- Respiration 2014; 88(4):329-38.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Chronic obstructive lung disease frequently leads to disability. Older patients may experience transitions between states of disability and independence over time.To identify factors associated with transition between states of disability and independent function in obstructive lung disease.We analyzed data on 4,394 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study who completed prebronchodilator spirometry. We calculated the 1-year probability of developing and resolving impairment in ≥1 instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) or ≥1 activity of daily living (ADL) using transition probability analysis. We identified factors associated with resolving disability using relative risk (RR) regression.The prevalence of IADL impairment was higher with moderate (23.9%) and severe (36.9%) airflow obstruction compared to normal spirometry (22.5%; p < 0.001). Among participants with severe airflow obstruction, 23.5% recovered independence in IADLs and 40.5% recovered independence in ADLs. In the adjusted analyses, airflow obstruction predicted the development of IADL, but not ADL impairment. Participants with severe airflow obstruction were less likely to resolve IADL impairment [RR 0.67 and 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-0.94]. Compared to the most active individuals (i.e. who walked ≥28 blocks per week), walking less was associated with a decreased likelihood of resolving IADL impairment (7-27 blocks: RR 0.81 and 95% CI 0.69-0.86 and <7 blocks: RR 0.73 and 95% CI 0.61-0.86). Increased strength (RR 1.16 and 95% CI 1.05-1.29) was associated with resolving IADL impairment.Disability is common in older people, especially in those with severe airflow obstruction. Increased physical activity and muscle strength are associated with recovery. Research is needed on interventions to improve these factors among patients with obstructive lung disease and disability. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- One- to Four-Year Follow-Up of Endobronchial Lung Volume Reduction in Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Patients: A Case Series. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Respiration 2014 Sep 11.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Background: Lung volume reduction surgery can improve lung function and working capacity in severe heterogeneous emphysema. Endobronchial lung volume reduction (ELVR) performed by one-way valves inserted via a flexible bronchoscope can result in a moderate but significant improvement in lung function and exercise tolerance, eliminating the surgical risks. Objectives: Most studies of this method have excluded patients with α1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, but small series of cases with positive short-term outcome have been reported. The sustainability of results has been questioned and we here present our experience in AAT-deficient patients treated with ELVR followed up for up to 4 years. Methods: From August 2008 to January 2012, 15 patients were treated with ELVR. Inclusion criteria were homozygotic AAT deficiency, age <80 years, residual volume of 140% or more, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) 15-45% of predicted, severe heterogeneous emphysema, symptoms severely restricting daily life, informed consent and absence of other serious diseases. Results: One patient coughed up valves after 2 months, 1 developed pneumothorax and had valve displacement and subsequent removal, and 1 improved from an FEV1 of 0.62 to 0.84 liters, but after 4 months developed repeated and severe pneumonia and the valves had to be removed. Thus, 12 patients remained and were followed up for at least 1 year. In these patients, FEV1 increased (mean: 54%), the quality of life was much improved, and 2 patients could be taken off oxygen therapy. During the 4-year follow-up, patients demonstrated no significant deterioration in lung function. Conclusion: In carefully selected AAT deficiency patients with severe emphysema, ELVR can be safely performed with encouraging long-lasting results. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
- Cardiopulmonary and Gas-Exchange Responses during the Six-Minute Walk Test in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [Journal Article]
- Respiration 2014; 88(4):307-14.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is representative of daily life activities and reflects the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Information on the cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses to the 6MWT is limited.We aimed to analyze the breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses of patients with COPD during the 6MWT. We also investigated the extent to which parameters reflecting cardiopulmonary and gas exchange function are associated with exercise capacity.The oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics of patients were obtained using mobile telemetric cardiopulmonary monitoring during a 6MWT. A new mean response time (MRT) index was developed to quantify VO2 on-kinetics by correcting MRT for work rate (wMRT). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to assess the association between variables reflecting cardiopulmonary and gas exchange function and exercise capacity [6-min walking distance (6MWD) and VO2 at steady state (VO2SS)].In 72 COPD patients (29 females) with a mean (SD) age of 65 (10) years, FEV1 44 (14) % predicted exercise capacity as assessed by VO2SS (p = 0.003) was significantly reduced across the stages of COPD. The criteria for maximal effort during the 6MWT were fulfilled by 82% of the patients. After adjustment for covariates, wMRT was independently associated with 6MWD (p = 9.7 × 10(-5)) and VO2SS (p = 5.5 × 10(-10)).As wMRT mostly depends on the rate of increase of pulmonary blood flow, our results underline the fact that cardiocirculatory function may play a significant role in exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. Our findings imply that modification of cardiocirculatory function may be beneficial in the treatment of COPD patients and improve their outcome more than anticipated previously. © 2014 S.

You should be just fine then with the Dot Hill. Even a lower end SAN should handle that load really well, especially if you don't have plans to run a VM environment on it.
Just be sure to configure it as RAID6 or even better RAID 10 if you have ample capacity on it (never RAID5). RAID10 will give you maximum redundancy and performance, but RAID6 is a decent second choice.

text: GamesBeat Mobile user acquisition is still a hard slog. Listen to what the experts say about it. August 1, 2014 9:00 AM Dean Takahashi 0 Above: Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is one of the top mobile games out right now.Image Credit: Glu Mobile GamesBeat: If you look at iOS and the top downloads, you'll see that the list keeps changing every month or so. The list that doesn't change is the top grossing apps. There's been one change in the top five, the addition of the Kim Kardashian app. I wonder what you think about the user acquisition behavior you see among the top five, and how everyone else can deal with it. Birnbryer: What you can see from these top game pubs, the reason they're in the market is because they put emphasis on spreading the word. I'm not just talking about doing app installs. There's a lot of ways to drive users. You want eyes on your game. You want people talking about your game. You have to have friends playing the game so you can compete against them. One of the biggest factors I've seen is the social competition. I play Candy Crush because all my friends play it and I want to beat them. My boss is level 500-something and that carrot keeps me going. It's an addictive quality, having that aspect where you compete against your friends, and you're more likely to spend. It's about creating a game that's exciting. That, in turn, will drive revenue. The games you guys build are so addicting that people have to spend money. "The only way I can keep going is to spend." That's the type of engagement feature you're looking for in games. Peng: The top-grossing games, you'll see ads for them everywhere because they have big marketing budgets. All of them have different strategies. They've spend a lot of time and money to get there. Storm8 has consistently had six apps in the top 100 grossing. We have a bit different strategy in terms of staying on the grossing charts. Even though we can afford to pay more, we view user acquisition as a business. Just because we can pay more doesn't necessarily mean we will. Virality and marketing budget is still key for visibility, but I think it's still possible for smaller players to make it by buying on an ROI positive basis and focusing on the core economics of your game. Bruch: We've seen some app developers who are lower on the charts out-compete some of the higher players, on our side. In terms of doing things right on the creative front, we've seen a lot of times that the size of the app can have a huge impact on how many installs you get on a platform. We've had people bidding twice as high on our platform and getting fewer installs, because some of the smaller players come in, take a lot of pride in what they're making, put more effort toward the banner ads and things like that — the things users are seeing before they get inside the app. We've gone to studios before and they have this huge creative team working on the inside of the app, but we'll say, "Where's the banner ad? Who's making that?" You have to focus on the front end. You have to get the user in the game first. Above: Mobile apps are taking off.Image Credit: Shutterstock GamesBeat: What would you consider to be something creative on the business side, in the face of all these obstacles for user acquisition? There's a lot of creativity on the art side, creating a game, but what gets you excited on the business side? Birnbryer: I have to echo what Matt said. A lot of people think that because you spend a lot of money, people are going to play your game. That's not the case. That's part of the reason some of these UA costs have gone up. People don't spend the time to focus on the creative. They just dump in money and think it'll happen. "If I show my ads enough times, people are going to download it." Take the time. If you've made this passion project of a game – if you have all these artists on your game developing all these cool features and engagement and all that stuff – put that into the banners. Or give us and Matt and some of these other guys the PNG files and we can build it out. But don't just expect that if you have banner with nothing engaging in it that people will want to go download. You have to have something that looks cool, that looks exciting. Some of our best performing games have fairly low CPIs because it's a fun game. James isn't out here spending a ridiculous amount of money on every title. But he's built a cool game and spent the time and the creative effort to make it seem exciting and fun before you even play it. If you can mimic that experience before we've started playing the game, you're going to get someone to go into the game and say, "Wow, this looks really great. I want to play it." Peng: Another aspect you can spend time on, creative is obviously the top of the funnel, but what about the bottom? Focus a little bit on extra optimization. Think about elements that expand the bottom and help you to fill more users in. You can spend a lot of time optimizing your creative, but that's applicable directly to your advertising spend. What about what people see once they engage? There are lots of ways to apply your resources and get users into your network. View All 1 2 3 4 5 More information: Powered by VBProfiles

The two-year study included 165 preschoolers who participated in music activities taught by 11 teachers, according to a UB release. The teachers had received intensive training in musicianship skill and teaching strategies for guiding young children's music development.
The results showed musical instruction significantly increased children's oral vocabulary and grammatic understanding, according to the release. It was found to be especially effective for children who began with lower literacy skills, though results were mixed for musical achievement.
"Music is one way that children can learn rhythm and rhyme of text, be exposed to new vocabulary and learn to discriminate a variety of sounds," said Maria Runfola, UB associate professor of learning and instruction.
The study holds some important lessons for parents, according to the release. They should encourage their preschoolers to listen to a variety of music from recordings and especially in live venues, and parents should interact with them musically, the same way they interact with them using spoken language.
At the very least, parents should chant nursery rhymes and dance with their children to music from recordings, TV, and the radio, Runfola said.
The study points out that school districts are increasingly focused on test scores in math and literacy, "often at the expense of appropriate music experiences for students."

High jinks in the Alps
If mountain air and lake views aren't enough, try zipping through the trees, says Lucy Fry
Saturday 06 July 2013
"I can't do it," I yell, quivering, across the massive gap that lies between me (standing on a platform some 50ft up a tree) and the twitching biceps of the French ski team's strength and conditioning coach, Pete McKnight. He yells something positive back, as he has done for the past few days, each time I've said "can't" or "won't". He's relentlessly encouraging, extremely knowledgeable and charming. What's more, for a precious six days, non-athletes such as me can get the benefit of his expertise on Adventures in the Alps' fitness week, which, he says, is "designed to give people a taster of different types of training in a beautiful environment, empowering them to take control of their own fitness programmes when they get home".
Variety, beauty and empowerment? Sounds perfect. So here I am, in the lake and mountains of Annecy in France. Perhaps better known for winter-sports resorts such as La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Manigod, it's the ideal spring or summer base for active travellers – a 45-minute drive from Geneva and with some of the most majestic and varied scenery I've ever seen.
This afternoon's challenge is more mental than physical (granted, scrambling up netting and hauling up rope-ladders isn't quite as relaxing as sunbathing, but if you want that, the lake has several grass beaches). I'm attempting the Forest Rope Course at Parcours Adventure in Taillores (think Go-Ape on steroids) and still shivering at the thought of this leap, the "Tarzan" zip wire.
"Just jump!" McKnight's voice booms through the trees and, not wishing to disappoint, I appear, grinning, a few seconds later on the other side. I don't have time to congratulate myself – there's a longer zip-wire still to come – but after two hours of balancing and jumping (at all times safely harnessed in), I feel refreshed, as if emerging from a long and lovely meditation.
It's not the first time this week either. The same thing happened this morning when McKnight dragged a portable squat rack out of his van and set it up outside our beautiful chalet, Domaine du Paron, so I could practise my Olympic lifts with a tip-top coach while looking out over Lake Annecy from 1,200m. And yesterday, during a group run through the forest. And the day before, when hill sprints left me struggling for breath. It even happened on our first day's gentle cycle from Doussard to Annecy town.
I should be exhausted by now, but the Alpine air, astounding views and our thrice-daily locally sourced meals stave off fatigue. What little muscle soreness does arise is swiftly pummelled away by a visiting, local masseuse.
Fitness Week doesn't include anything higher than the Cliffhanger Course at Parc Adventure. However, Adventures in the Alps founder, Pip Watkins, will happily organise paragliding, white-water rafting or the chance to try your hand at Via Ferrata, a series of climbing routes, first developed by the Italian army in the First World War to aid the transit of troops across the Dolomites.
With such a huge amount going on I'm slightly surprised that the streets of Annecy aren't awash with buffed-up tourists. People are cottoning on though: Lake Annecy Ski Resorts claims an increase in spring and summer visitors over the past three years. Since Watkins established Adventures in the Alps three years ago, it was shifted from athletes' training camps to offering pilates, yoga and walking weeks as well as the tougher trail runs and Alpine cycling. With her convivial, can-do attitude, she's forever pushing the philosophy that exercise can and should be fun.
Even on McKnight's Fitness Week, there's still an opt-in, opt-out attitude. So, if you fancy the hot tub instead of hill sprints, nobody will judge you (not too much, anyway). The weather helps things along a lot – last year in more than 16 weeks of training camps not one full day was lost to rain – so activities can include anything from open-water swimming to canyoning, kayaking, mountain biking and running on a cinder track at Faverge. Perhaps "just jump" should be the company motto.

I work for a large retail store in NY who usually rents space in malls, as is the case for my particular place of employment.
I slipped on water and fell outside the restroom at work. There are two sets of restrooms; male and female, situated adjacent to each other, and are for the use of the store's customers and employees.
Both sets of restrooms have had leaking toilets for more than a year. The seal around the base of the toilets are not for commercial use. My employer submitted a request for the mall to fix this problem long ago to no avail. The leak collected in the ladie's bathroom foyer where it had completely saturated the carpet near the exit/entrance. On exiting, I slipped and fell right outside the door on the tiled floor, injuring my back and shoulder.
I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope you are recovering well. A local workers comp lawyer can assist you with a claim and investigate a possible 3rd party claim.
In addition to a potential workers compensation claim, you can bring an action for on the job injuries if they were caused by someone other than your employer or co-worker. Assuming you have an injury that warrants an action, the answer is yes. You should consult with an attorney in your area as soon as possible.
You have to sue the mall, It does not benefit from the workers comp defense, and it sounds like you have a good case. Please see my disclaimer.
As an aside, make sure you have photographs. Also, depending on why you were using the public bathrooms, you may be able to file with workers comp as well.
Your primary claim where you were injured while at work is a workers compensation claim with regard to your employer and their workers compensation insurer. However, where a third party is negligent other than yourself or the employer, then that third party can be held liable. Your claim is not without challenges and you need to consult with an experienced injury attorney ASAP.
See the blog links below for more information, and I wish you the best:
I dont practice in NY, but in calif you could file against the mall in this situation. You should get a work comp lawyer, and that lawyer should be able to tell if you can sue the mall too.
Yes you may. Get a lawyer soon. Contact a lawyer who offer a free consultation
It sounds like you may have a third party case against the owners of the mall. Moore details are required. Please contact a lawyer immediately.
Yes, it sounds like you have the basis of a case against the maintainer/owner of the restrooms in addition to a workers compensation claim. Call a personal injury attorney without delay.
Yes you can sue but these cases start backwards - what is the extent of your injuries? Unless you were seriously injured (broken bones) our office cannot help you.
First If I were you I would not discuss this matter publicly. Second you can consult local lawyer who is competent for workers compensation and third party action. Local lawyer will provide proper advice in this condition.
However here are the general law in New York. Under New York State Workers Compensation Law section 11 employers liability is exclusive to his employee if employee sustained injuries on the work as long as employer secures the payment of compensation for his/her employee. If employer does not secured such payment of compensation as required by New York at that condition employee has two option either commenced claim under workers compensation Law before Workers' Compensation Board or commenced third party action.
Other than the employer such as property owner, other person who was responsible for maintenance and repair may be liable under New York Law.
There are may other possibilities and need to check other law as well but it will determined by your lawyer once your hired one.
Please be advised that this is not a legal advice it is just some part of law I am telling you.
It seems that you have a valid case. BUT what is the extent of your injuries?
Any fractures?
Any tear as confirmed by MRI?
Is surgery recommended?
If yes to any of the above, please contact me.
PS: You also need to file Workers' Comp claim for your medical bills, hosp bills & lost wages.
These are tricky claims. I believe you have a workers comp claim that's also a negligence claim. Call a local attorney.

Let's say that you that you are building a custom application with BuddyPress (like maybe a Project Management application) and you had a need to programmatically create a BuddyPress group. Now there are ways to customize the BuddyPress group creation process that I will cover in a future post, but there is actually a very simple function that will do all the heavy lifting. So, without any further ado, I'd like to introduce you to groups_create_group(). Read more
Have You Heard of BuddyPress?
Last year I was working on a new membership feature for my church's website (actually, I'm still working on it) that would help to facilitate interaction among the churchgoers throughout the week. Being a hard core developer, I rolled up my sleeves and started working through how I would handle discussions, notifications, user profiles, and the like. After spending a few weeks of weekends and evenings hacking on it I decided to check and see what kind of prebuilt solution for this kind of application might already exist (yes this is the problem with developers: code now – research later).

Do Not Fear the Command Line
A year and a half ago and the Mac terminal scared me spitless. I didn't know how to do anything with it and I didn't know of anything that I really wanted to do with it. Then I started working with Vagrant, and then Git, and then Grunt, and pretty soon the command line didn't seem so frightening any more. In fact, once I got down a few basic commands I started helping with server administration and other command liney things at the agency I worked for. Read more

A Better Developer via WPSessions
This past week I attended WordCamp Seattle and boy was it amazing! One of my favorite sessions was a panel on Becoming a Better WordPress Developer. During this session, the panel was asked how a developer could become a better developer. The general consensus was to surround yourself with professionals in your field that constantly push you and introduce you to new tools and techniques.
I wholeheartedly agree, but this is somewhat of an abstract idea if you don't know where to find the professionals in your field, specifically in this case WordPress development. WordCamps are a great place to find these people, but wouldn't it be great if there was a place to find out about new leaders and stay up to date on a regular basis?
Enter WPSessions
I found out about WPSessions several months ago and promptly signed up for the WordPress and Backbone.js session and it was fantastic! Most recently I signed up for Working with BuddyPress and look forward to watching the recording since I missed it live because of WordCamp Seattle. Read more

Mad. Sq. Art 2013: Giuseppe Penone: "Ideas of Stone (Idee di pietra)"
at Oval Lawn (in Madison Square Park), Manhattan
6:00 a.m.

Update to allow the Dense Fog Advisory expire. && .DISCUSSION... Fog is still lingering in and near Hobbs, Seminole and Andrews at 23/16Z. However, satellite imagery indicated low clouds were dissipating and allowing for surface temperatures to warm. Therefore, expect visibilities to improve in areas still experiencing fog, rapidly in some cases, through noon CDT. Therefore, will allow the Dense Fog Advisory to expire. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 943 AM CDT Thu Oct 23 2014/ UPDATE... Update to extend the Dense Fog Advisory until 23/16Z. DISCUSSION... Satellite imagery and the latest surface observations indicate dense fog is persisting over the Guadalupe Mountains, southeast New Mexico plains, Upper Trans Pecos and a good deal of the Permian basin. Therefore, will extend the Dense Fog Advisory until 23/16Z, at which time some improvement should occur. Update will follow shortly. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 829 AM CDT Thu Oct 23 2014/ UPDATE... Update to add additional counties to the Dense Fog Advisory. DISCUSSION... Satellite imagery is indicating fog across portions of the Upper trans Pecos at 23/13Z, in addition to portions of the southern Permian Basin. Despite the Dense Fog Advisory only being in affect until 23/15Z, will add the above locations to the Advisory since observations are indicating 1/4 mile or less. Think we should begin to receive enough heating by then for visibility to improve/fog to lift. An update will follow shortly. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 555 AM CDT Thu Oct 23 2014/ UPDATE... Dense fog has developed across portions of the area this morning. DISCUSSION... A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for southeastern New Mexico as well as portions of the Permian Basin until 15Z this morning. Observations indicate visibility reductions to one quarter mile in the advisory area. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 428 AM CDT Thu Oct 23 2014/ DISCUSSION... See Aviation Discussion below. AVIATION... SKC skies and light winds have promoted efficient radiational cooling this AM, resulting in saturated sfc conditions over much of the area. As such, LIFR-MVFR conditions will prevail at some terminals for a few hours this morning, especially SE NM. Buffer soundings suggest stratus/fog scattering out around noon, followed by a cu field, w/bases 4-5 kft agl. Redevelopment will be possible at KINK near the end of the forecast period, but we`ll keep conditions VFR there for now. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 AM CDT Thu Oct 23 2014/ DISCUSSION... Clearing skies overnight combined with light winds and increased boundary layer moisture have resulted in radiation fog development over portions of southeastern New Mexico as well as the Trans Pecos and western Permian Basin. The fog is currently expected to remain patchy this morning, and should burn off quickly after sunrise. A gradual warming trend will begin today and last through the weekend as upper ridging develops over the region in the wake of the departing upper level trough. By Sunday and into Monday, temperatures will be in the middle to upper 80s area-wide, with low 90s possible in the Trans Pecos and Rio Grande Valley. Models are in good agreement regarding trends through the weekend, with the aforementioned 500mb ridge axis overhead by Saturday, and beginning to flatten out on Sunday as height falls overspread the region ahead of a deepening trough to the west. Model solutions then diverge Monday night regarding the advancing trough and accompanying cold front progged to move through the area. The GFS is the more conservative solution at this time, maintaining a shallower trough, and thus a weaker, dry FROPA by early Tuesday morning. The ECMWF solution indicates a slower FROPA and light QPF over far northern portions of the CWFA, as well as a much deeper trough and developing closed low. If the ECMWF solution were to verify, ridging would quickly redevelop in the wake of the trough/closed low by midweek, whereas the GFS maintains light southeasterly flow and perhaps some precipitation by the end of the period. Given these uncertainties, have not made many changes from the going forecast, and will wait to see better model agreement before including any precipitation mention in an otherwise dry forecast through the extended. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Mass. man identified by dental records after setting himself on fire in Lincoln
LINCOLN - The Massachusetts man who committed suicide Friday by burning himself to death in a Lincoln parking lot has been identified as Erik Halldorson, 40, of Roslindale, a spokesman at the New Hampshire Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Concord said Monday.
Lincoln Police Chief Ted Smith was one of several officers and firefighters who arrived on the scene at Lincoln Woods -- a popular local hiking area - early Friday morning while Halldorson's body was still engulfed in flames in the lot where hikers park while using the nearby trails.
Smith said Monday the medical examiner's office determined his identity through dental records, although police had a good idea who he was from having been alerted to be on the lookout for him, and having found Halldorson's wallet in the car he left behind.
"You never know; we had to get a positive identification. There was no note that he left here, but he had a dentist's appointment card in his wallet, and he was identified through dental records," Smith said.
A spokesman at the medical examiner's office said Halldorson's death has officially been ruled a suicide, with the cause of death listed as "smoke inhalation and severe thermal burns."
Emergency personnel responded to the scene around 7:45 a.m. Friday after a hiker spotted what he believed was a mannequin in flames and called police. Smith said Friday that Halldorson poured a can of gasoline over himself while he was standing, lit a fire, then ran some distance as flames consumed him. The chief described the caller and young firefighters who responded as shaken by what they saw.
The Boston Police department "was involved" in the lookout for Halldorson late last week, according to Smith. Asked if the man had been described as despondent, the chief said he didn't have that detail, but he described the police effort beforehand as a "welfare check" on Halldorson, who was believed to be headed north.

From jewelry and hats to even tattoos the proud Zia sun symbol is flaunted everywhere you go in New Mexico.
State senator Michael Padilla says the mainstream attention to the symbol has pushed him to introduce a piece of legislation during the next session.
"If this memorial makes its way through the New Mexico Senate we are going to finally have an answer to what does the Zia symbol mean, how is it protected and what we should use it for," said Padilla.
He says The Zia Pueblo and The State Cultural Services Department will come together and make that determination.
Then, the state can create laws about the Zia's use.
"I invite all New Mexicans to take part in this study," Padilla said, "The symbol is all of ours."
But tattoo artists rest assured, Padilla says it is unlikely the report will come to banning the use of the symbol.
For Padilla, it is about protecting an icon that embodies what New Mexicans treasure.
The legislative session begins January 21st.
Only the New Mexico senate would need to vote to approve this idea.
By the way, a USA Today poll voted the New Mexico flag as the best state flag in the country.

Accused G20 ringleaders challenge bail conditions
Two alleged G20 riot ringleaders have launched a legal challenge of a bail condition barring them from participating in protests or public demonstrations.

Two alleged G20 riot ringleaders have launched a legal challenge of a bail condition barring them from participating in protests or public demonstrations.
Alex Hundert, 30, and Amanda Hiscocks, 37, submitted a court filing for a bail review on Thursday in Ontario Superior Court. They are among the 17 charged with conspiring to organize riots and vandalism during the G20 summit. Both were arrested in a pre-dawn raid on June 26, the first day of the summit.
Since their arrests, the pair has been subjected to a slew of restrictive bail conditions, including one banning them from planning, attending or participating in any public demonstrations.
In September, Hundert was arrested for breaching this bail condition — his second of three arrests since the G20 — after he participated in a panel discussion at Ryerson University called "Strengthening Our Resolve: Movement Building and Ongoing Resistance to the G20 Agenda."
Hundert said Thursday the courts are overly vague in their definition of the word "demonstration," interpreting it as including any public event where political views are being expressed.
He contends the bail condition has prevented them from engaging in their day-to-day work and violates their constitutional right to freedom of speech, expression and assembly.
"They had intended to prevent us from going to meetings where street protests might be planned and the Crown and the police have decided to apply it in such a way that says we cannot participate in our communities at all," Hundert said. "The idea that any public meeting with any political views being expressed is a 'demonstration' is essentially what we're challenging today."
Hundert said his goal is not to have the bail condition removed, but to set a precedent and have the definition of "demonstration" clarified in a court of law.
"The filing is to prevent them from being able to use this condition in the future as a mechanism for preventing people from participating in their communities," he said.
The bail review sought by Hundert and Hiscocks will be heard July 28, the one-year anniversary of Hiscocks's release from jail on G20 charges.
More than 1,100 people were arrested during last year's G20 summit weekend, the biggest mass arrest in Canadian history.
Since then, only 317 were charged with summit-related criminal offences and 59 per cent of those have had their charges withdrawn.
The 17 facing conspiracy charges will begin preliminary hearings in September.
They have been living under strict bail conditions, prohibiting them from communicating with each other or even using cellphones or wireless Internet. Hundert has also been unable to speak to Leah Henderson, his G20 co-accused and then-fiancée.
Hundert was also previously banned from speaking to the media, but that condition has since been lifted.
