MINCEP Patient Care
MINCEP strives to provide services to patients at a reasonable cost and as conveniently as possible. Unless critically ill and transferring from another hospital, all patients are initially seen in our outpatient clinic. Only a third of MINCEP patients eventually require hospitalization, including many who come from great distances. We tailor diagnosis and treatment to each individual patient.
At our outpatient clinic, you will be treated by a MINCEP Epileptologist, a highly trained physician who specializes in seizure disorders. That expert will take a complete history, review past medical records and perform an appropriate physical examination. Your MINCEP epileptologist may order some or all of these special tests and consultations:
Long Term Video EEG Recordings
Routine EEG tests as performed in most doctors' offices are not sufficient. MINCEP performs meaningful tests interpreted by experts. An EEG with a video recording provides data for an expert to observe the body along with the seizure. At MINCEP, physicians interpret video EEG's that patients undergo for sessions lasting approximately lasting 2 to 24 hours. Video EEG monitoring may be performed in the office or in the hospital.
Advanced MRI techniques, PET and interictal SPECT scanning can usually be performed on an outpatient basis. MINCEP has access to the most advanced techniques available. Ictal SPECT examinations require hospitalization.
Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological testing provides information about different types of brain functioning. The tests employed tell us the nature of any brain dysfunction and which parts of the brain are affected. The information assists in the determination of the correct localization of brain dysfunction in order to develop a medical or surgical treatment plan. The information obtained by our neuropsychologists also provides guidance for rehabilitation efforts and for long term planning.
Pharmacy Consultation – MINCEP® OptiMed®
MINCEP's Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) takes a careful history of each patient. It is important to know all prescription and over-the-counter products used by the patient, as well as the epilepsy medications the patient is taking or has taken. Drug interactions, side effects, and toxicity can be greatly reduced with careful monitoring.
Psychological Consultation
Psychological and social issues facing a person with seizures affect every aspect of life. Identifying these stress factors and dealing with them appropriately enhances the ability of the patient to benefit from treatment and reduces seizure frequency.
MINCEP Wellness® Program
MINCEP believes an informed patient can better understand the need for adherence to the prescribed treatment plan. An educated patient better understands what to expect from the disorder and how to deal with and gain control of epilepsy's effect on quality of life. The MINCEP Wellness program uses a holistic approach founded on solid scientific information. This program helps prepare the patient to become the captain of the treatment team.

View from near "Monkey's Lament"
This 2/2.5 cache hides in Central Park, New York City, NY. GeoMiss placed "Monkey's Lament" GC23C94 in January of this year. This was the first geocache she ever placed. It's already clocked more than 170 finds. There's a high muggle possibility so stay stealthy. You'll be rewarded, not just with a great find, but with a world class view and location GeoMiss says is perfect to "ponder… life, love, or the mysteries of the universe."
She also said, "I started geocaching in June of 2009 in Michigan, and after my first find, I was hooked. In the fall, I moved to New York City to pursue my doctorate in Art History." She goes on, "I realized what a great hobby it really is, especially in an overwhelming place like NYC. I am very proud of this cache, and hope others continue to enjoy it as much as I do."

Ahh, I wish I could post my picture but it's kind of a give away. rygemini and I were just there in NYC (all the way from Oregon) and loved finding this cache, it was packed full of muggles for the wonderfuly warm day and we were very, very short on time, but we found it none-the-less. The cool picture we took was from quite a way from the actual cache but I am positioned so that I am pointing at the cache location (so we could show youdad how many muggles we had to be stealthy around). This was a great cache! Thanks GeoMiss!
I Geocaching in Central Park last October (from MI too) – full of muggles – only place with more muggles was in Stockholm. Adds to the fun.
I found this cache a few months ago and have to say that it was really worth it!

Twice before, Jerry Kill had a seizure on game day, once in the postgame locker room and once during the game itself. So when it happened again Saturday, Nov. 24, at halftime of a 26-10 loss to Michigan State, there was an odd sense of routine surrounding it.
"I've done it before," defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys said of acting as head coach in Kill's absence. "You just move on."
"I don't think too many guys had that on their mind," senior defensive lineman D.L. Wilhite said.
Kill was resting in the coaches' locker room after the game and left the stadium with his wife, Rebecca. He was expected to be sent home without a trip to the hospital, where he ended up after suffering his last two game-day seizures, first on Sept. 10, 2011, at the end of a loss to New Mexico State and last month after a homecoming loss to Northwestern.
Kill has epilepsy, and he has described his seizures as something he can live with. So can Minnesota, athletics director Norwood Teague said.
"I know this will bring up questions about him and moving forward, but we have 100 percent confidence in Jerry," Teague said in a postgame news conference. "We'll evaluate his health at the end of the year, and that mainly is for him, to continue to take care of himself, exercise, diet, eating right.
"The more he makes progress there, the more he'll make progress with his health in general. I feel very good about that."
Teague said Kill suffered a seizure while returning to the TCF Bank Stadium field following halftime.
"I kind of put two and two together when our defensive backs coach started breaking us down and giving us our pep talk," quarterback MarQueis Gray said.
Kill's absence, Gray said, had nothing to do with the Gophers' second half, when the Spartans (6-6 overall, 3-5 Big Ten) broke open a tight game to become the seventh bowl-eligible conference team, and likely leapfrog Minnesota (6-6, 2-6) for a berth in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Dec. 29 in Tempe, Ariz.
Minnesota's offense was manhandled by a Spartans defense that came into the game ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in scoring and total defense, managing only Jordan Wettstein's 48-yard field goal and 96 total yards -- 4 rushing. Michigan State tailback Le'Veon Bell ran 35 times for 266 yards and had five carries of more than 10 yards, including 40- and 30-yarders.
That, said Gray, had nothing to do with Kill's absence.
"The coach's job is to coach," the senior said. "The players are the ones who are supposed to go to war for four downs and execute the game plan. We didn't do that."
Still, Kill's health was the major topic following the game, and likely will be until the Gophers play their bowl game late next month, most likely the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 28 in Houston.
Kill has now coached 24 games at Minnesota and suffered seizures during or after three. While Kill, his school and his players have learned to live with his health issues -- most of his staff have been with him since he was head coach at Emporia State in 1999-2000 -- some wonder if, or when, it will become a negative.
"It doesn't really concern me that much," Teague said. "I live with these (coaches) every day internally, and that's the biggest thing for me -- watching them every day and how they operate. In my experience with coaches and coaching staffs, if they're winning the battles every day in how they manage the program, the fruit is shown on the field. Regardless of Jerry's health right now, we're making progress on this program.
"Does it hurt the perception in recruiting? I don't think so. I've seen Jerry talk to recruits about it, and it's something millions of people deal with. We all have friends and family that have probably dealt with it. So at first blush, yeah, but once you really start thinking about it and we move forward and we work, and he works, it doesn't really bother me at all."
Kill returned to coach the team after his Oct. 13 seizure following a loss to Northwestern, and Teague said he expects him back Monday and has no doubt he'll coach in the bowl game.
"You don't want to downplay it, but you get to the point where you realize it's just something he has to deal with at times," the AD said. "You don't want to say it's not a big deal, but in a way, it's easy to deal with in a lot of ways."
Kill signed a seven-year contract on Oct. 23 that will pay him at least $1.2 million annually through 2017. He has a 9-15 record with the Gophers.

I think, for the most part, they roll out consecutive barrels from a certain whse. or a good part of the whse. Picking individual barrels from back in the rick is a hell of a lot of work and I do not think they do it all that often. If you roll out 10 consecutive barrels the chance to find a good one is fairly high.

PHENIX CITY, ALA. — A woman charged in the slaying of her soldier husband sought a divorce and moved a boyfriend into her home after her husband deployed for service, relatives of the dead man said.
Relatives of Sgt. First Class Donald Lashon Wilson, speaking in interviews with WTVM-TV, said they suspected something was wrong between Wilson and wife Gloria Wilson.
Wilson, 34, and a man described as her boyfriend, 27-year-old Travis Leonard, are charged in the shooting of the Fort Benning soldier.
Wilson was found shot multiple times early Monday in Fort Mitchell, and his wife was arrested early Tuesday. Leonard was arrested Thursday, and bond for him and Wilson was set at $500,000 each.
Records don't show whether either Wilson or Leonard has hired a lawyer.
The Wilsons began dating in 2007 and married on June 6, 2011.
One of the victim's sisters, Kendra Wilson-Hudson, said she talked with him the day before his death, and he mentioned the possibility of the marriage breaking up.
"I tried to give him encouragement about his marriage. He told me (Gloria) asked for a divorce. He loved his wife. He devoted all his time to her and tried to make everything better," Wilson-Hudson said.
The Ledger-Enquirer of Columbus reported previously that Gloria Wilson was having an affair with Leonard while Donald Wilson was reassigned to Hawaii. Wilson told her he wanted a divorce, and authorities said she and Taylor plotted to kill him for about $450,000 in benefit money.
The sister said Leonard had moved into the Wilson home after the soldier deployed for duty.
"She played this off as if (Leonard) was her God brother," she said. "My brother would've never stood for anything like that."
The victim's mother, Betty Wilson, said she knew something was wrong.
"I've always known. From the first day I met her, I got bad vibes from her," Betty Wilson said.
Wilson was found in a ditch in Seale Monday morning and Phenix City police found his car on fire in a parking lot.
Wilson will be buried in his hometown of Sylacauga. He had two children.

text: We have one Giuseppe Nardello to thank for this spectacularly tasty sweet frying pepper. From the small village of Ruoti in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, Giuseppe brought this heirloom to the states, where it was introduced in 1887. Grazie, Giuseppe! All season long the low-growing 20-24" plants produce loads and loads of long, thin peppers, up to 10" long. The peppers are altogether delicious, whether cooked in a little olive oil, grilled, chopped, sauted with other vegetables, or used raw in salsas and salads. These peppers are perfect for pickling or drying. Harvest in 80-90 days from transplant.

CHUNG CLINCHES LESSING'S AJGA CLASSIC WITH TOURNAMENT TOTAL 201 Donovan fires 65 to seal victory in Girls Division
EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — David Yujin Chung of Fayetteville, N.C, hit clutch shots and made putts en route to sealing his first-ever AJGA victory at the Lessing's AJGA Classic on the White Course of the Eisenhower Park Golf Course Thursday. Kimberly Donovan of Hopkinton, Mass., carded a personal low-round of 65 to clinch the Girls Division by six strokes.
In the Boys Division, Chung was eager to make a run for his first-ever AJGA title Thursday.
"I have always been in contention at Open events, but it feels good to finish it off this time," Chung said. "I came to win and I am glad I pulled through."
Chung hit 15 greens and eight fairways in regulation and carded 30 putts in his 4-under-par 68 round. He had six birdies, three of which came on the back nine.
"On No. 13, I missed the green, but got up-and-down with a flop shot to four feet," Chung said. "I made a slider to save par, which ended up being a key moment for me."
Dominic Bozzelli of Pittsford, N.Y., and Cameron Wilson of Rowayton, Conn., tied for second at tournament total 204. Anthony Aloi of Plainsboro, N.J., and Johnny DelPrete of Palm City, Fla., claimed fourth and fifth with tournament totals of 205 and 206, respectively.
In the Girls Division, Donovan only needed 24 putts in her 7-under-par 65 round. The 65 she carded Thursday was her career-low and was a great accomplishment for her, considering the injuries she has faced in the last two months.
"I just came off a season full of injuries, which included a sprained wrist and ankle, a pulled hamstring, and a bruised bone in my wrist," Donovan said. "Coming back and playing well after two months of healing, is a real boost of confidence."
Donovan showed she was healthy Thursday by hitting 14 greens and 12 fairways in regulation and carding eight birdies.
"On No. 1 I stuck it to one foot and made the putt for birdie," Donovan said. "It was a great way to get rolling and that is where I gained the most momentum of the day."
A birdie on No. 18 was just one of Donovan's great showings on the day.
"I hit a solid driver down the middle on No. 15 and left a 7-iron short in the bunker on an uphill slope," Donovan said. "I chunked it out, but left it on the fringe and made the 20-foot putt to save par."
Becca Huffer of Denver finished second with a tournament total 214 and Tiffany Lua of Rowland Heights, Calif., sealed third with a tournament total 216.

As Americans throughout the Nation prepare to fire up their grills and load up on fireworks to celebrate Independence Day, the sun may be shooting off some fireworks of its own.
Sunspot AR1515 erupted on July 2 and produced an M5.6-class solar flare that was observed by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory. According to Spaceweather.com, the M-class flare is a powerful event, eclipsed only by a more extreme X-class solar flare.
Earlier in the week, the solar activity disrupted radio communications over Europe and produced brilliant auroras near the Earth's magnetic poles.
"On July 1st we enjoyed a beautiful display of aurora australis over the German Antarctic Research Station Neumayer III," said researcher Stefan Christmann. "The air temperature was -30°C with 10 knots of wind. Even so, this was one of the most beautiful experiences so far."
The latest eruptions from the sun could send beautiful light shows throughout the sky just as many Americans are preparing to ignite their first fireworks in celebration of their Nation's founding. Check spaceweather.com and NOAA to see if you can expect auroral activity in your area.
Last year, unusually strong solar storms gave people residing in Southern areas of the United States the unique opportunity to enjoy the light shows in the sky.

For the uninitiated snake motif rings are often misunderstood. For centuries the snake or serpent design has been viewed as a symbol of rebirth, wisdom and healing. When coiled the snake image implies universal completeness. Both King George IV and Queen Victoria wore snake rings which for them represented eternity.
A gorgeous garnet oval cabochon of an approximate 5.70 carats has been foiled beneath and set closed back in a 15k yellow gold mount with patterning all around the surface. Wrapped in an embrace about the setting are two sensual snakes. Each snake head overlaps the body of its mate and tails entwine about the shoulders of the shank. Engraved details such as eyes and skin texture accent the fineness of the double shanked ring.
Date: Circa 1890.
Please note that the depth of stone cannot be determined; consequently the calculated weight may vary.
Important: Foiled jewelry should not be exposed to water for any extended period of time nor soaked in water or any other liquid. In addition, avoid steam cleaning.

In the event you had something better to do such as clipping your toenails, examining the backs of your eyelids or knocking back a few fingers of decent scotch (my choice), you may not know the White House Correspondents' Association held its annual homage to itself over the weekend. Jokes were told, backs were slapped, legs were pulled. To be fair, both headliner Jimmy Kimmel and President Barack Obama delivered fairly good sets — with the exception of Obama's soon-to-be-infamous "pit bull" joke, which may well have been the worst line delivered at a WHCA dinner since Wanda Sykes splattered herself and her career all over the dais in 2009.
The WHCA soiree included a fairly diverse audience, which stands in stark contrast to the Democratic Party and the overwhelming majority of the Press Corps. In fact, the atmosphere was positively collegial, unlike pretty much everything Obama and his Democratic accomplices have let slip through their collective blowholes over the past few weeks.
Late last week while Obama's writers worked up their best Kim Kardashian lines, Dan Savage, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activist and self-proclaimed anti-bullying advocate, deployed his latest attack. Perhaps best known to people outside the liberal asylum for the profane rants he directs at anyone who doesn't share his rather twisted view of the world, Savage took aim at those hideous harbingers of hatred: kids. Savage was supposed to be delivering the keynote address to a high school journalism conference. Instead, he delivered yet another stark reminder of the appalling hypocrisy that now defines the Democratic Party in the age of Obama. Following a typically X-rated rant on his hatred of Christianity (I will spare you the details; I'm a giver like that), Savage targeted a number of students who got tired of the filth falling out of the hole in his face and walked out. There are erudite and accomplished men and women who could put a decent face on LGBT issues. Instead, liberals offer shrieking ninnies like Savage.
I wish I could attest that bottom-feeders like Savage were unique amongst the modern crop of liberals. Unfortunately, while Savage's unhinged rage might employ more of those words people with a modicum of decency tend to avoid hurling at kids, he's hardly alone. Way down south, Florida is still recovering from the lynch mob touched off by Obama's spectacularly ill-advised comments about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Led by race pimp Al Sharpton, Democratic Party flacks laid the proverbial smackdown on race relations in the Sunshine State. Rather than rise above such lowbrow antics, Obama deployed Holder to offer Sharpton's hate group the Presidential seal of approval.
Up in Obama's hometown of Chicago, a group of children at one of the Windy City's "best" schools was subjected to a presentation by someone named Camille Jenkins. Jenkins is an activist with the little-known, but excellently named, Peace in the Hood Movement. After attacking a teenager for suggesting concealed carry permitting might improve the idyllic Illinois lifestyle they enjoy, Jenkins flatly stated the National Rifle Association celebrates the murders of black children thusly: "These porch monkeys deserved to die." I may not be the most dedicated of NRA members, but I would definitely have noticed if Wayne LaPierre and the gang started yapping like gangsta rappers. For the particularly stalwart kiddies who managed to survive Jenkins' nonsense, Jones College Prep subjected them to presentations by so-called "Occupiers," a seminar emphasizing empowering illegal aliens and even a class on protesting by a George Soros-backed outfit. How lovely it is to watch liberals making time to drop the hammer of hypocrisy on the high school set.
From time to time, we at Personal Liberty Digest™ note the remarkably unsettling parallels between some of history's more noteworthy fascists and the Democratic Party. But the truth is, history's more successful fascists brought their nations to their knees with a fair amount of skill. The Democratic Party instead offers us Savage's, Jenkins' and Sharpton's ham-fisted hatred and hypocrisy. Obama got off a few good lines at the WHCA. But the joke's over, Mr. President.

According to a new study in Early Childhood Research Quarterly, it can! Researchers found that toddlers who possess a spoken vocabulary at 24 months show an increased ability to later on control their emotions and self-regulate. The rationale behind the findings is that children who have the ability to verbalize their frustrations are able to more effectively control their own behavior.

Ben Bennett could become Central Michigan's first four-time All-American wrestler when he competes in the NCAA championships that begin Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
But Bennett isn't thinking about becoming an All-American. He's thinking about something else. He can see it. In fact, he has forced himself to envision it since he was pinned in the quarterfinals of last year's NCAA tournament.
"For me, I'll do this a lot when practice is getting tough and I'm getting tired," said Bennett, a three-time state champion at Rockford High. "I kind of picture myself in that situation -- that big ...

President Barack Obama said Thursday that Americans can keep canceled health insurance policies for a year as companies and consumers adjust to the new demands of the health care law.
"Americans whose plans have been canceled can choose to re-enroll," the president said during a White House news conference.
In the coming weeks, insurance companies must also notify customers of what those policies lack, and of options consumers have for better coverage under the new law, Obama said. He said: "This fix won't solve every problem, but it will help a lot of people." ...

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (12/24/13) — The Madisonville Fire Department released the following reports Dec. 24.
The Madisonville Fire Department received an alarm from Central Dispatch for a house fire on 311 Arch St. Upon arrival, at 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 24 fire units were informed by Madisonville Police Department that a fire was located in the floor furnace and all residents had been evacuated.
The crew entered the structure and discovered light smoke and a small fire inside the floor furnace. A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher was used to extinguish the fire. Positive pressure ventilation was used to clear smoke from the structure. Gas was shut off to the unit and Atmos Energy was requested.
When the scene was further investigation, it was revealed that a plastic clothes basket had been placed on the floor furnace. The basket melted on the furnace and caught fire. After further inspection of the unit, it was determined that the unit should not be used until properly repaired and serviced. Atmos Energy arrived on scene and disconnected gas service to the structure.
MFD received an alarm from Central Dispatch for a stove top fire at approximately 10:33 p.m. Monday, Dec. 23 at 355 Graves St.
The crew met with the female resident outside the home where she stated that she came home and smoke was coming out of the stove. She proceeded to say that she noticed that one of the burners was glowing red and both the cabinets and range hood had been burned.
The crew entered the structure to investigate further. They noticed there had been extensive damage to the stove, hood range and electrical outlet behind the stove. They also noticed there was smoke and heat damage to the cabinets, window sill around the stove, and all around the kitchen walls.
The crew continued to check the electrical box and the breaker box for the outlet in the kitchen, which had been tripped. The crew removed the stove from the kitchen and checked it for any active fire extension but nothing was found.
All smoke inside the structure had been removed by natural ventilation. It was determined that the burner to the stove had been left on when the occupant left the residence.

People have asked me some funny questions, but I was taken aback recently when a fellow church parishioner asked me about my work as a VA hospital chaplain.
"Do people die in your hospital?" he asked.
"Well, yes," I said, "even though we'd prefer they'd not." He asked because, as we sat in church, he couldn't imagine anyone dying.
My churchgoing friend shares a problem most of us have - we can't imagine the possibility of our own death.
Several years back, I was working in another hospital when a 60-year-old man arrived by ambulance. He had been ignoring chest pains the entire day until he finally collapsed and a neighbor called 911.
Our patient arrived in our intensive care unit breathing on his own, but he had waited too long to seek help. He was in trouble. Decisions needed to be made and his 35-year-old daughter arrived in time to make them.
"Does he have an advance directive?" asked his doctor.
No, he did not.
Our patient, like perhaps many people, had failed to ask himself the right questions. Those questions are contained in the advance directive (sometimes called a living will).
An advance directive is the document that "directs" the doctors to follow the wishes of the patients who are unable to speak for themselves. Without it, doctors are obligated to do "everything" possible - even if that means a painful delay of your death.
With his failing breath he begged his doctor to do "everything possible."
Unfortunately, if the doctor had done "everything" he would have placed our patient on the indefinite support of a respirator. Respirators work well when doctors are expecting recovery, but since the entire right side of this patient's heart was dead, the respirator would have only suspended him between life and death.
The doctor told the daughter that her dad was unfixable and that if the staff attempted anything heroic, her dad would spend the rest of his life on a machine.
Realizing that quality of life was more important than quantity of days, the man's daughter stepped into his room and gave her dad one of the bravest speeches I'd ever heard.
In my recollection, the conversation went something like this:
"Dad, you know I love you, right? I've always told you the truth. Right?"
The man nodded.
"Dad, your heart's broken."
"I know," he huffed. "Let's fix it and go home."
"Dad, listen to me," she pleaded while she stroked his forehead. "They can't fix this and if they try, you'll end up on a respirator for the rest of your life. I know you don't want that, so you need to tell the doctor."
The father argued. "Yes. They have to fix it. Who will take care of Mother?"
"No, Dad. They can't fix it. No one can. I'll take care of Mother. I promise."
I knew the wind had shifted in this argument when the man asked, "Will it hurt?"
"We're going to make you comfortable, sir," was the doctor's softened reply.
Then I saw the woman lower her head onto her father's chest and look into his eyes. They exchanged words I couldn't hear, but a few minutes later, I heard the man say, "OK. Let things happen as they happen."
With that decision, the nurses administered "comfort care" and made sure that the man's final question about pain was answered.
And later that evening, he decided to let go, and the daughter did too.

|Albany, Ore.
|High School:
|West Albany HS '09
*** Academic Honors Candidate ***
2012: Listed as a co-starter with Aston Miller at right offensive guard on preseason depth chart.
2011: Converted from the defensive line, Murphy started Eastern's last eight games at right guard after Jase Butorac suffered a season-ending knee injury versus Montana (9/17/11). Butorac was already taking the place of Ashton Miller, who was lost for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon in EWU's opener against Washington (9/3/11). An offensive lineman for the Eagles in 2009 and 2010, Murphy was moved from defense to offense in the middle of the UM game to fill-in for Butorac. Despite a total of 10 players receiving starts at that position, he helped EWU lead the FCS in passing yards per game (368.5) and rank seventh overall in total offense (447.4). Murphy had moved to defense when preseason practices began.
2010: Started Eastern's opener against Nevada (9/2/10) at right offensive tackle but was a backup the rest of the season. Eastern finished the 2010 season ranked 22nd in the FCS in total offense (397.1 yards per game), as well as rankings of 26th in passing (241.0), 49th in rushing (156.1) and 18th in scoring (31.5).
2009: Redshirted. Was selected as the team's Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year after earning player of the week honors twice.
HS: Graduated from West Albany HS in 2009. Earned first team Class 5A All-State honors as an offensive guard as selected by high school coaches in the state of Oregon. Earned first team All-Mid-Willamette League honors as an offensive guard. He helped West Albany win the State 5A title in Oregon two-straight seasons with perfect 14-0 records. He was also a third team all-league wrestler and qualifier for the State 5A Championships in Oregon.
Personal: Technology major. Born 10/9/89 in Baker, Ore. Will turn 23 three days after Eastern plays North Dakota.

In a clinical trial, researchers at Tanta University in Egypt and the University of Helsinki in Finland determined when and under what conditions children may benefit the most from a daily dose of vitamin C.
The scientists tested their theories on a group of 70 kids who were 7 to 10 years old. The volunteers took 0.2-gram supplements of vitamin C daily, and study investigators measured the children's forced expiratory volume per one second (FEV1) to determine what effect the antioxidant had on their asthma symptoms. Results of this study suggest that asthmatic children may benefit from a natural nutritional supplement that contains vitamin C.
In participants who were 7 to 8.2 years old and had no exposure to mold or damp rooms, FEV1 was increased by 37 percent. In the older subset, 8.3 to 10 years old, those who were exposed to fungi and dampness experienced a 21 percent improvement in FEV1.
When looking only at the age of the volunteers, the researchers still observed a more significant effect of vitamin C in the younger group.

This screenshot of a Facebook post by Kevin Curtis shows language nearly identical to that found in letters mailed to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker.
A Mississippi man is in custody, accused of sending letters to U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and President Barack Obama believed to be laced with a deadly toxin.
FBI agents arrested Paul Kevin Curtis, 42, at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday at his apartment in Corinth, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen. It wasn't immediately known where he was being held.
The letters sent to Obama and the Republican senator tested positive for ricin in preliminary tests but were being retested to eliminate the possibility of a false positive. The letters were intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate.
Ricin is a highly toxic substance derived from castor beans. As little as 500 micrograms can kill an adult. There is no specific test for exposure to it, and no antidote once exposed.
An FBI bulletin stated that both letters, postmarked April 8, included the identical phrase: "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."
Both letters were signed: "I am KC and I approve this message."
Curtis uses a similar tagline on his website in which he details his discovery of human body parts while doing janitorial work at North Mississippi Medical Center and the numerous times he was arrested in his quest to get someone to investigate his allegations.
The letter, received by Wicker's office on Tuesday, had a Memphis postmark and no return address, Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer wrote in an email to senators and aides. Tupelos mail is routed through Memphis.
The FBI did not identify recipients of the letters, but in a Wednesday release identified Curtis as "the individual believed to be responsible for the mailings of the three letters sent through the U.S. Postal Service which contained a granular substance that preliminarily tested positive for ricin. The letters were addressed to a U.S. senator, the White House, and a Mississippi justice official."
The mail was intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate but still caused consternation, coming a day after the Boston Marathon bombings. Officials have said they dont have any reason to believe the ricin letters were in any way linked to Mondays bombings at the Boston Marathon.
"Gayle and I want to thank the men and women of the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for their professionalism and decisive action in keeping our family and staff safe from harm," Wicker said in a statement Wednesday night. "My offices in Mississippi and Washington remain open for business to all Mississippians. We particularly want to thank the people of Mississippi for their thoughts and prayers during this time."
Federal authorities were in Tupelo on Wednesday investigating the letters.
In addition to Corinth, Curtis also has lived in Tupelo, Booneville and Verona in Mississippi, and has had addresses in Illinois, Tennessee and Louisiana.
Wicker, a Pontotoc native who has an office in Tupelo, serves in the Senate as deputy whip and on the Armed Services, Budget, Commerce, Environment and Public Works, and Joint Economic Committees. He has been a middle-of-the-road senator in the Republican Conference, ranking as the 27th most conservative member of the upper chamber, according to the National Journal. He is known to be conservative on most social issues.
In 2003, a ricin-laced letter was sent to the White House and intercepted at a processing facility. Another was discovered with no address in South Carolina. A February 2004 incident at the Dirksen Senate Office Building where a letter to Tennessee Sen. Bill Frist was found was initially connected to the 2003 letters as well.
A week after the 9/11 attacks, several letters containing anthrax spores were mailed over the course of several weeks to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. The FBI would later call the ensuing investigation "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement."

Clinicians should screen all adults for obesity and offer or refer patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher to intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions, says a recommendation issued Tuesday by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). When selecting interventions, clinicians should consider other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, a patient's readiness for change, social support and community resources that support behavioral change, and other health care and preventive service priorities. The task force further recommends that health care professionals offer or refer people who are obese to a comprehensive weight loss and behavior management program with 12 to 26 sessions in the first year.
Supporting documents and related items on the recommendation, which include a clinical summary, consumer fact sheet, news bulletin, and evidence synthesis, are available on USPSTF's website.
In a separate recommendation, USPSTF determined that for people who have low risk for heart disease, counseling to encourage healthy lifestyle choices, such as a healthful diet and physical activity, offers only small benefits in reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease. The task force also states that this counseling may be beneficial to some people, depending on their individual risk factors, including known cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
These recommendations are available in the Annals of Internal Medicine and on the task force website.

I'm working on enterpriseware for which we define and package some customizations through CSV files, later on deployed by the customer. For example, to create a Menu containing two Commands, I would:
- Create two lines in CommandData.csv, containing (among other stuff) their names. Header and first lines of CommandData.csv would look like:
- Code: Select all
- Reference the Commands in MenuData.csv (siblings are pipe-separated). Header and first line of MenuData.csv would look like:
- Code: Select all
After a look at the API Reference, I'd go this way:
- Bindings should be easy with the definition of a button/press_command/press_args. If I stumble on problems with overriding the crowded <Modifier>+click space, I'll fallback to a keyboard shortcut, and will find the word at the current point with word(point). If the notion of "word" leads to problems with the pipe (|) character, I will just require the user to select the command before hitting the shortcut. So now I have my CommandName.
- I want now to find the ^CommandName regex in CommandData.csv. Problem: if I understand correctly, find(pattern, fromPosition, <flags>) only searches the current buffer, right? Is there a way to do something like find(buffer, pattern, fromPosition, <flags>)? Or I could first openFile(CommandData.xls, <row>, <col>), but that would be ugly: I don't want to switch to CommandData.xls without even knowing the search results will be not null! How can I work around that?
- If there is no match, fire a statusMessage(string) / errorMessage(string)
If there is a matching Region, show(region, <showSurrounds>)
- What do you think?
- In particular, any idea to solve point 2?
- Other recommendations?
- Does my needs look like something an existing plugins already does and where I could grab some clues?
PS for those wondering (but given the audience here I'm sure I'll be understood): yes I'm editing CSV in a text editor with no "Column" notion, because Excel/LibreOffice messes with my data (commas, leading zeroes, etc.), CSVEd is unstable, and CSVEasy is neat but not very powerful. And SublimeText has lots to offer

Boeing, Airbus log big orders as upstarts falter
The two biggest planemakers ran neck and neck in order announcements during the first three days of the Paris Air Show, with $55.8 billion of commitments for Boeing to Airbus's $55.6 billion. Airbus added sales Thursday to United Airlines and Spirit Airlines.
So far, Bombardier's CSeries and models from challengers such as Commercial Aircraft of China and Russia's Irkut are being shut out of a single-aisle market projected at almost 25,000 planes in the next two decades. Brazil's Embraer, a Bombardier rival in regional jets, has avoided a confrontation with the Boeing-Airbus narrow-body duopoly and announced $16 billion of business this week for upgraded small planes.
"It's one thing to have yet another air show where the CSeries doesn't do anything," said consultant Richard Aboulafia, vice president of Fairfax, Va.-based Teal Group. "It's another thing to have their biggest direct competitor do more in an afternoon than they've done in five years."
Embraer garnered 365 orders and options for its revamped regional jets, led by SkyWest and International Lease Finance Corp. The planes will have new engines, and the largest will stretch to accommodate 132 people.
Bombardier introduced the CSeries in 2008 as it sought to move up from its signature regional aircraft. China's state- owned Comac and Irkut had national backing in taking on Chicago-based Boeing and Toulouse, France-based Airbus. Commercial success has yet to arrive.
The CSeries, designed to carry as many as 160 people and compete with the smallest Boeing and Airbus offerings, was shunned by buyers this week, even with its first flight scheduled to take place within days.
"It is an entirely new plane. I can understand that the airlines are waiting," said Egon Behle, chief executive officer at Germany's MTU Aero Engines AG, a partner with United Technologies Corp.'s Pratt & Whitney on the CSeries' power plant. "Bombardier does not have a track record like Embraer, Airbus and Boeing."
Bombardier has booked 388 CSeries orders and options, according to the company. That compares with 317 orders for Boeing's upgraded 737 MAX this year through May and 391 for the new Airbus A320neo in 2013 up until the beginning of the air show, the companies said.
Those are the newest and most advanced single-aisle planes from Boeing and Airbus, part of a class typically flown on shorter routes with multiple takeoffs and landings daily. Airbus announced firm orders for 135 A320s from Easyjet, plus an option for another 100, while Boeing signed an accord in Paris for 175 737 airliners with Ryanair Holdings.
Spirit, based in Miramar, Fla., said Thursday it would take 30 current-version A321s with a list value of about $3.22 billion. United Airlines, a unit of United Continental Holdings, booked wide-body planes with a list value of $11.6 billion.
Bombardier's show successes were limited to smaller business jets and the sale of three regional aircraft and four turboprops to Nigeria's Arik Air. The Canadian manufacturer said an absence of CSeries order announcements at Paris's Le Bourget airport doesn't indicate airline disinterest.
"We are discussing with dozens of potential customers, they've been here this week visiting us," said Mike Arcamone, who oversees commercial aircraft for Montreal-based Bombardier. "We are not scheduling orders for the air show since we must sign orders that are beneficial for both parties."
A lack of CSeries sales is among the reasons Los Angeles-based ILFC hasn't placed an order yet, CEO Henri Courpron said yesterday in an interview. Lessors depend on active markets for used planes to maximize the value of their investments.
"We don't feel confident enough to invest in that plane," Courpron said. "There's no customer base on which to build. They have to invent it themselves."
Comac and Irkut have struggled to find traction for their new planes outside the companies' home regions.
The Irkut MS-21, due for first delivery in 2017, should have a first flight in 2015, said Mikhail Pogosyan, CEO of Moscow-based parent United Aircraft Corp. It may be difficult to entice buyers already flying Boeing and Airbus jets, he said.
"Airlines with large Airbus and Boeing fleets will buy the MAX and neo," Pogosyan said. "I believe we will get more orders once we are in flight test."
Comac has secured agreements for the sale of 380 jets from 15 buyers, according to the Shanghai-based manufacturer's website. The customers are largely Chinese, with the exception of General Electric Co.'s aircraft leasing arm, which has signed on to take 20 of the C919 planes.
"The ones who'll be serious competitors will be the Chinese," said John Leahy, sales chief and chief operating officer at Airbus. "This is an industry that requires billions and billions of investments per year. I don't think the Canadians are capable of doing that and perhaps the others aren't interested in the long haul."
Ryanair, Europe's biggest discount airline, reckons Comac will bring its current model to market and CEO Michael O'Leary, who has a development agreement with the company, predicts the planemaker will go on to build a more competitive successor.
"If they do nothing more than sell a lot of aircraft into Chinese sphere-of-influence airlines, that will put pressure on Airbus and Boeing," O'Leary said. "By the time airlines are looking at deliveries into the early 2020s, we can have three credible alternatives. It's in everyone's interest."

Spring at Michigan State: It was my senior year and within two months I would be a practicing veterinarian in Wisconsin. It was a Thursday afternoon and I was looking forward to a getaway weekend at a friend's farm in northern Michigan.
Before leaving for my long-awaited reprieve, I was called on to assist in the post-mortem examination of a horse that had died just two weeks after foaling. The referring veterinarian was suspicious of rabies, however, none of the clinical veterinarians or pathologists at the vet school were thinking along those same lines.
They chuckled that the referring ...

About the Program
We are not accepting applications to this program.
Over the past 30 years, biomedical ethics has developed and matured into a major area of scholarly inquiry. Professionals from philosophy, medicine, public health, nursing, the life sciences, law, social work, management, public policy, the social sciences, religious studies, and other areas have contributed to the biomedical ethics literature in important ways. The application of conceptual analytical techniques to ethical issues in science and medicine and the emergence of empirically-based scholarship in ethics have helped to help inform the practice of medicine and to test traditional philosophical tenets of bioethics. To meet the need for scholars with the interdisciplinary training required for such research, the CWRU School of Medicine's Bioethics Department created the nation's first Ph.D. program in Bioethics in 2004. The program's mission is to train researchers to conceptualize, design, and conduct both normative ethical analyses and empirical research on bioethics issues.
The goal of the PhD program is to train scholars skilled in the conceptualization, design, and conduct of interdisciplinary research on bioethical issues. This means that each candidate will learn how to integrate their previously mastered disciplinary skills with other scholarly approaches to produce multi-dimensional analyses of bioethical research problems. In addition, each candidate will learn how to lead and fund the collaborative research teams such analyses require. The doctoral program in bioethics has two primary objectives:
- To train scholars who have specific expertise in the conceptualization, design, and conduct of research on bioethical questions using the methodologies of normative bioethical analysis.
- To train scholars who have specific expertise in the conceptualization, design, and conduct of empirical research on bioethical questions, as well as competency in normative bioethical analysis.
Candidates may enter the program from any discipline. All doctoral students will become familiar with the ways in which bioethical scholarship employs concepts and methods from the humanities, social sciences, clinical research, jurisprudence, and health policy. The program's curriculum is organized around four core areas:
- Normative and social science theory and methods
- Research ethics
- Clinical ethics
- Public health ethics
Special concentrations are available to students interested in:
- problems in genetics and genomics;
- stem cell research and regenerative medicine;
- research ethics and public health ethics;
- clinical ethics.
The Department of Bioethics provides PhD students with a multi-disciplinary learning environment, with faculty representing the fields of philosophy, social science, pubic health, law, medicine, and nursing. Doctoral students are part of a fully integrated educational program within the departmentthat includes undergraduate courses, a Master's program in bioethics, medical school teaching, international student exchanges, and postdoctoral training.
Graduates from the first cohort of the Department's doctoral program have successfully competed for academic positions, NIH funding, and NSF funding, and have published articles in peer reviewed journals.

Rock N' Jock HR Derby
After watching the home run derby last night, I came to the realization that Josh Hamilton has ruined all home run derby's from here on out. His 23 homeruns in the first round of the 2008 Home Run Derby, makes every other performance seem down right mundane and not worthy of my time. Last night, Prince Fielder and Nelson Cruz each hit 11 homeruns in the first round which is usually a big deal, but it no longer is.
As a matter of fact, I bet the majority of baseball fans can't name the winner of last year's home run derby, but they can tell you that Josh Hamilton broke the record for homeruns in any round of a homerun derby. And not only that, but I guarantee you most people will tell you that Mr. Hamilton was the actual winner of the home run derby.
Before 2008, I would have applauded Prince Fielder and Nelson Cruz for putting on a show for the fans at Busch Stadium and raved about how 2009 gave us one of the best derby's of all time, but all I can think about is how each of them hit less homeruns in all three rounds combined than Hamilton hit in the first round.
Since their is nothing that can really be done on behalf of the players and we will not see another performance like that again until the All-Star game is held in a wind tunnel, also known as the new Yankee Stadium, I have devised a plan to make the homerun derby entertaining once again...
Rock N' Jock Home Run Derby. That's right, you remember the Rock 'N Jock Softball games that used to be held on MTV with athletes, former athletes and celeberities. Well, I am stealing a few ideas from them for the purpose of saving the Home Run Derby.
Rock N' Jock used to have a variety of fake farm animals in the outfield, (real farm animals would be more entertaining but we don't want any wilbers or betsys getting hurt, plus PITA would have a field day with MLB) and if one of the players hit one of the standing replica animals in the outfield, they would receive extra bases depending on the animal. Well I say we place about three or four replica farm animals of varying sizes in the stands. A barn being hit would be worth an extra home run, a cow being hit would be worth two, a pig being hit would be worth three, a chicken being hit would be worth four. Don't tell me you wouldn't want to hear Chris Berman scream, "Albert just got into one...Oh man it's a moon shot...could it, could it...Oh my, he just hit a pig, he hit a pig...Albert Pujols has just won the homerun derby after hitting a big on his last swing!" Now that is entertainment at it's finest.
Also, there would have to be about ten sections that were partioned off for beautiful young ladies laying out on a lounge chair with a pina colada in one hand and a glove in the other hand. If one of the participants could hit one of these young ladies a ball and she was able to catch the home run, he would receive an additional five home runs for that round. I know this sounds a big difficult, but just picture the scene from Sandlot when Benny the Jet Rodriguez tells Smalls to stick out his glove and just squeeze. I know it sounds pretty difficult, but that's why they would receive five extra homeruns for such a feat, plus don't tell me Red Sox fans wouldn't like to see a beautiful blonde at the top of the Green Monster wearing a Red Sox hat and a red bikini, tracking balls like Torii Hunter. I know some of you are getting excited just from reading about the thought of this happening.
And of course, last but most certainly not least, we would have to introduce the money ball. The gold ball which comes last and gives money to charity is great and all, but it's not entertaining. The money ball would be, of course, green...maybe neon green to make it easier to see, but a participant would get the money ball thrown to him when he has nine outs. The money ball would be worth five home runs. However, they would only get one swing at the money ball. If they hit a home run, they are done and if they don't they are still done. This would add some pressure to the last swing, in turn, addding some much needed drama to the end of each player's at bat no matter what round they are in.
I know all of this sounds a bit off the all and almost excessively foolish, but don't tell me you wouldnt watch it, or at least take the time to TIVO such an event.
