Fever, infection, or both occurred at some time during hospitalization in 67% of patients on a referral spinal cord injury service. A single cause of fever was generally found, with urinary tract and soft-tissue infections predominating; these responded well to appropriate management. In contrast, spinal cord injury patients on other services seen in consultation by the infectious disease service had far more complicated and advanced disease. Multiple infections were diagnosed in the majority of these patients, with urinary tract and decubitus ulcers predominating. Complicating osteomyelitis was present in more than half of those who had infected decubitus ulcers. In both groups of patients, diagnosis required careful attention to physical and laboratory examination because multiple potentially infected areas could be identified and because usual symptoms were sometimes masked by altered sensation.

About Electronic Health Records
An electronic health record (EHR) refers to an individual patient's medical record in digital format. Electronic health record systems co-ordinate the storage and retrieval of individual records with the aid of computers. EHRs are usually accessed on a computer, often over a network. It may be made up of electronic medical records (EMRs) from many locations and/or sources. A variety of types of healthcare-related information may be stored and accessed in this way.
EHR systems can reduce medical errors. In one ambulatory healthcare study, however, there was no difference in 14 measures, improvement in 2 outcome measures, and worse outcome on 1 measure.
EHR systems are believed to increase physician efficiency and reduce costs, as well as promote standardization of care. Even though EMR systems with computerized provider order entry (CPOE) have existed for more than 30 years, less than 10 percent of hospitals as of 2006 have a fully integrated system.

News Who Didn't Fred Thompson Work For?
posted by October 17 at 16:31 PMon
Fred Thompson once did legal work for the Westboro Baptist Church:
Members of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church are urging Fred Thompson to support their stance on homosexuality—a position on which they say the Republican presidential candidate once "saw eye to eye" with them.
Thompson was hired for a mid-1980s legal case in Kansas on the recommendation of Margie Phelps, daughter of Westboro founder Fred Phelps.
The Topeka, Kan.-based church is now best known for protesting at soldiers' funerals, claiming their deaths are retribution for the nation's acceptance of homosexuality.

How could they do this to Jennifer Jason Leigh? How could they put such a fresh and cheerful person into such a scuz-pit of a movie? Don't they know they have a star on their hands? I didn't even know who Leigh was when I walked into "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and yet I was completely won over by her. She contained so much life and light that she was a joy to behold. And then she and everybody else in this so-called comedy is invited to plunge into offensive vulgarity.
Let me make myself clear. I am not against vulgarity as a subject for a movie comedy. Sometimes I treasure it, when it's used with inspiration, as in "The Producers" or "National Lampoon's Animal House." But vulgarity is a very tricky thing to handle in a comedy; tone is everything, and the makers of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" have an absolute gift for taking potentially funny situations and turning them into general embarrassment. They're tone-deaf.
The movie's another one of those adolescent sex romps, such as "Porky's" and "Animal House," in which part of the humor comes from raunchy situations and dialogue. This movie is so raunchy, however, that the audience can't quite believe it. I went to a sneak preview thrown by a rock radio station, and the audience had come for a good time. But during a scene involving some extremely frank talk about certain popular methods of sexual behavior, even the rock fans were grossed out. There's a difference between raunchiness and gynecological detail.
The movie's cast struggles valiantly through all this dreck. Rarely have I seen so many attractive young performers invited to appear in so many unattractive scenes. Leigh, for example, plays a virginal young student at Ridgemont High. She's curious about sex, so the script immediately turns her into a promiscuous sex machine who will go to bed with anybody. And then her sexual experiences all turn out to have an unnecessary element of realism, so that we have to see her humiliated, disappointed, and embarrassed. Whatever happened to upbeat sex? Whatever happened to love and lust and romance, and scenes where good-looking kids had a little joy and excitement in life, instead of all this grungy downbeat humiliation? Why does someone as pretty as Leigh have to have her nudity exploited in shots where the only point is to show her ill-at-ease?
If this movie had been directed by a man, I'd call it sexist. It was directed by a woman, Amy Heckerling -- and it's sexist all the same. It clunks to a halt now and then for some heartfelt, badly handled material about pregnancy and abortion. I suppose that's Heckerling paying dues to some misconception of the women's movement. But for the most part this movie just exploits its performers by trying to walk a tightrope between comedy and sexploitation.
In addition to Leigh's work, however, there are some other good performances. Sean Penn is perfect as the pot-smoking space cadet who has been stoned since the third grade. Phoebe Cates is breathtaking as the more experienced girl who gives Leigh those distasteful lessons in love. Judge Reinhold has fun as a perennial fast-food cook who rebels against the silly uniforms he's supposed to wear. Ray Walston is suitably hateful as the dictatorial history teacher, Mr. Hand. But this movie could have been a lot more fun if it hadn't chosen to confuse embarrassment with humor. The unnecessary detail about sexual functions isn't funny, it's distasteful.
Leigh looks so young, fresh, cheerful, and innocent that we don't laugh when she gets into unhappy scenes with men -- we wince. The whole movie is a failure of taste, tone, and nerve -- the waste of a good cast on erratic, offensive material that hasn't been thought through, or maybe even thought about.

Elects to Expense Stock OptionsMonday February 3, 5:28 pm ET ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2003--Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBSH - News) announced last week to its Board of Directors that beginning in 2003 it plans to change its accounting for stock options and expense option grants. This change coincides with the recently issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," which provides additional guidance when expensing stock options. The Company will adopt this change by restating all prior financial statements as allowed by SFAS 148. During 2002, the Company issued stock options totaling 592,255, or less than 1% of total outstanding common stock. It is expected that this change will reduce basic and diluted earnings per share as previously reported over the last three years by $.05 per share. Management believes expense recognition is a preferential method of accounting reflecting that stock options are a form of employee compensation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Contact: Commerce Bancshares Inc., St. Louis Jeffery D.

Economy Pushes Grads to Stay in School
Some of Silicon Valley's best and brightest have decided not to immediately venture out into the work force. Instead, they are opting for graduate school.
That applies to many of the latest engineering graduates from Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and other local schools. According to several of this year's Berkeley electrical-engineering and computer-science grads and officials at Stanford, more engineering students of the class of 2010 opted to continue on with graduate degrees than in past years.
The trend—which is largely anecdotal because schools are still gathering data about their most recent graduates—comes just as Silicon Valley hiring is picking up again after the recession. The situation isn't likely to be permanent, though, because more students tend to stay in school during poor economic cycles and flow back into the work force when the economy picks up.
Indeed, several engineering grads say they chose to stay in school largely because of last year's recession, which caused a fall-off in campus recruiting just as they were deciding what to do post-graduation. Job postings only began increasing this spring, say officials at Stanford, Berkeley and San Jose State University.
Beverly Principal, assistant director of employment services at the Stanford Career Development Center, says close to half the members of the university's graduating engineering class typically go on to do a master's degree but estimates that this year, the percentage jumped to around 60%.
"It was the economy" that pushed more students into graduate work, says Ms. Principal. "And if you have a master's, you're also more marketable."
At San Jose State, only 33% of this spring's engineering grads reported having secured jobs, down from 53% in spring 2008, says the university. The data are preliminary, officials say, adding they don't yet have data on how many students chose to go on with additional studies.
One engineering major who decided to stay in academia another year is Jerry Zhang. The 22-year-old Berkeley student, who hails from Fremont, says he started his senior year last year by interviewing for jobs at tech companies such as Qualcomm Inc. QCOM 2.04 % and Nvidia Corp. NVDA 2.72 % But while he says he got several jobs offers, he became increasingly drawn to obtaining a master's, he says.
It was harder for his class to find jobs this year than in past years, says Mr. Zhang. He adds that every tech company that he interviewed with was receptive to him doing a master's, with several firms extending their job offers to him to be valid till next year.
Among the companies actively recruiting on local campuses for engineering grads this past year were Microsoft Corp. MSFT 1.38 % , Cisco Systems Inc. and Google Inc., say officials at Stanford and Berkeley. At Berkeley, social-networking site Facebook Inc. became an active recruiter in the last two years, says Tom Devlin, director of the career center there. At Stanford, electric-car maker Tesla Motors Inc., TSLA 0.80 % which went public last month, also was active on campus for the first time this year, says Ms. Principal.

Movies in the Park
For seven years, the Rotary Club of Poipu Beach has provided free family entertainment at Poipu Beach Park. Through the generosity of business sponsors such as yours, we will offer three outdoor movies this year: Friday, May 13; Friday, June 17; and Friday, July 15,.
The Rotary Club of Poipu Beach idea is to bring the community together by showing family friendly films in the safe relaxed setting of Poipu Beach park. We start each movie with a performance by dance troupes or musicians.
This event also supports the Koloa Elementary School PTSA as they offer a food concession at the movie. This has enabled them to fund many extracurricular programs that improve the quality of campus life for all of their students by funding after school activities and supplemental education programs that do not make it into the school budgets.

It certainly was One Fine Evening! From the fine art to the delicious food by top chefs to the unique wines to taste, and the great tunes by Jazz Trane and the John Rivera Trio, it was a fun time!
Thanks to all who came out to the event, the many silent auction donors, the event sponsors, and the additional volunteers who helped! Thanks also to Mayor Carvalho and Ron Wiley.
Together we had a fun time and a great fund raiser that will finance local scholarships and community programs throughout the year!

Tame cravings with very low-cal veggies, fruits, snacks -- even desserts
We all want to have our cake and eat it, too...oh, and we want the cake to have zero calories! While calorie-free cake remains a food fantasy, there really are foods that cost us almost nothing to eat, calorie-wise. These are what I call "free foods" and "almost free foods."
I know what you're thinking, but it's not all "rabbit food" -- some fruits, packaged snacks, and even frozen desserts make the grade. So if you're craving something to munch but can't spare any calories, check out the list below of low-calorie options -- along with some recipes to dress them up.
But first, a bit of definition: "Free foods," in my opinion, are those that have 25 calories or less per reasonable serving. "Almost free foods" have 25 to 60 calories per reasonable serving. Portion control is key here. While 2 cups of popped, 94% fat-free microwave popcorn may contain only 40 calories, if you eat the entire bag you'll end up with closer to 200 calories -- definitely not an "almost free" food situation.
You'll find these "free" and "almost free" foods in four basic areas of your supermarket.
1. The Produce Section
Many vegetables that are high in water and fiber content end up being "free" or "almost free." So if you're in the mood for something with crunch, think about these "free" options ("Free" foods, eaten in reasonable quantities, don't have to be journaled; if you like, journal 1 cup of these veggies as 1/2 cup vegetables without added fat):
- 2 large celery stalks = 13 calories, 1.2 grams fiber
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce = 18 calories, 1.4 grams fiber
- 1/2 cucumber = 20 calories, 1 gram fiber
- 1 medium tomato = 25 calories, 1.3 grams fiber
- 1/2 cup sugar snap peas = 30 calories, 3.4 grams fiber
- 1 carrot = 30 calories, 2 grams fiber
- 1 cup jicama sticks = 45 calories, 6 grams fiber
You don't have to be a rabbit to enjoy these snacks -- especially if you dress them up with a "free" dip from this quick recipe:
"Free" Ranch Dip

U.S. Technology Chief VanRoekel Vows Cuts to Wasteful Systems
Steven VanRoekel, in his first speech since taking over as the U.S. government's top technology official, said federal agencies should focus on fostering innovation and cutting waste in hardware and software.
"We will use technology to improve government productivity and lower barriers to citizen and business interaction with the government, all while bolstering cybersecurity," VanRoekel said in prepared remarks for an event late yesterday in Palo Alto, California.
VanRoekel, who began his term as U.S. chief information officer in August, oversees the $80 billion the government spends annually on technology. He succeeded Vivek Kundra, who left the position for a joint post at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, both at Harvard University.
VanRoekel has promised to further an overhaul of federal technology policy begun under Kundra and aimed at reducing the amount spent on information systems. That initiative includes consolidating government data centers and pushing agencies to adopt cloud computing, a practice that lets multiple users share resources such as software applications and data storage.
In his prepared remarks, VanRoekel, who works out of the Office of Management and Budget, reaffirmed the push for agencies to share IT resources and adopt cloud computing. Those cost-saving efforts, such as consolidating government data centers, also serve a larger purpose, he said.
Driving Innovation
"Technologies like cloud, mobile, web platforms, and servers have matured to the point where they can now play a key role in transforming every aspect of government," he said. "My focus going forward will be to drive innovation in government."
Yesterday's event was sponsored by TechAmerica, a Washington-based trade group representing the technology industry, and TechNet, a bipartisan group of industry chief executive officers. George Anders, a Bloomberg columnist, was listed as a moderator of the event.
VanRoekel previously served as managing director at the Federal Communications Commission, where he oversaw operations, technology, finances and human resources. Before entering government, he worked at Microsoft Corp. from 1994 to 2009, including almost three years as speech and strategy assistant to Chairman Bill Gates.

Bin Laden's Alchemy
In his op-ed in today's NYT, Frank Rich gets the tragedy of Bush's Iraq war exactly right. Rich writes:
"One hideous consequence of the White House's Big Liefusing the war of choice in Iraq with the war of necessity that began on 9/11is that the public, having [now] rejected one, automatically rejects the other. That's already happening. The percentage of Americans who now regard fighting terrorism as a top national priority is either in the single or low double digits in every poll. Thus the tragic bottom line of the Bush catastrophe: the administration has at once increased the ranks of jihadists by turning Iraq into a new training ground and recruitment magnet while at the same time exhausting America's will and resources to confront that expanded threat. We have arrived at 'the worst of all possible worlds.'
Sadly, Rich is right for two basic reasons. First, according to "Alchemists of Revolution," (a fantastic historical primer on terrorism written in 1987 by a guy named Richard Rubenstein ), the goal of terrorism is to pull back the curtain on the tyrannical machinery of the "oppressor." This tactic works by drawing the terrorists' adversary into attack mode in which that adversary makes the mistake of flexing his muscle for the sake of flexing his muscle: Swinging indiscriminately, taking away rights, busting heads. And so, the tactic works to create widespread antipathy toward the terrorists' adversary.
Looks like bin Laden played Bush according to Terrorism 101. In other words, bin Laden baited us, we attacked, and revealed ourselves to be an abhorrent presence in the Middle East. Thus all the new jihadists. That's the context.
But here's the really maddening part. Bin Laden's other rationale for baiting the U.S. was this: Once we attacked, he believed we wouldn't sustain the will to go toe to toe with him, and he would emerge victorious in the ultimate of all PR wars. He predicted this in speech after speech, citing our Black Hawk down defeat in Magadishu. I thought bin Laden was wrong. But, as Rich points out, our will has been exhausted.
It didn't have to be this way, but thanks to Bush's stupid decision to go after the wrong guys (Iraq), bin Laden has been proven right. The U.S. is tired of the mess in Iraq. The tragedy is: Had we gone after bin Laden and al Qaeda, it's likelydue to the true value of that causewe would have scored some inspiring victories (like toppling the Taliban). So, despite the arduous task, Americans would have stood by it.
As Rich notes: Not so anymore.

Academic Flexibility:
Aveda Institute has by far one of the best curriculum's in Cosmetology. It is a little expensive for seven months but I do think you get your money's worth. Only thing I would change is their financial aid situation, it makes it difficult for students like myself who can't really afford to pay out of pocket. You have to go through highs and lows for a loan.

I m having some issues when posting by email using Gmail. When I forward an email to the Jetpack generated email address, because of the text that is added to the email:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: me <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Sun, Oct 13, 2013 at 7:53 AM
Subject: My title
To: email@example.com
The post gets published even though the status is draft.
[title My title] [status draft]
I tried stripping everything before
[title, which works when publishing a post from the dashboard, but when I forward the email the post still gets published and I really don't want it to do that.
//strip unwanted text/code from posts

$da_content = $postarr['post_content'];
if (strpos($da_content,'[title') !== false) {
$data['post_content'] = strstr( $postarr['post_content'], '[title' );
return $data;
Any ideas on how to delete the Gmail forward text message? I checked on the gmail forum, but they said I have to do it manually, and that's something I don't want to do either.

Dorchester Community Food Cooperative Announces Winter Farmers' Market To Open January 8, 2012
The Dorchester Community Food Co-op is proud to announce the Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market. The Winter Market will open at Noon on Sunday, January 8 and continue from Noon to 3 p.m. each Sunday through March.
"I'm thrilled that this winter market is happening in Codman Square, a neighborhood that has a history of vibrant seasonal markets, and a community that is committed to making farm fresh produce accessible."
The market currently features six vendors committed to bringing a range of winter produce, including potatoes, greens, squash, onions, turnips, celery root, beets, carrots, as well as a variety of meats, including pork, beef, and chicken. Additional products include eggs, jams, mustards, and bread. Rotating craft vendors will bring a variety of artisanal goods, such as textile arts, for sale at the market.
Shoppers are invited to visit the Winter Market on a weekly basis: art, music, educational workshops and other "place-making"
"We've seen the impact of Boston's farmers' markets during summer months," states Barbara Ferrer, Director of the Boston Public Health Commission. "They've brought healthy, fresh, local produce into neighborhoods and have leveraged the buying power of low-income consumers through adding Boston Bounty Bucks double coupons to EBT cards. The new Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market is an exciting pilot venture to extend these benefits to residents year-round. I applaud the organizers—the Dorchester Food Cooperative planning group—for their innovative and thoughtful approaches to better nutrition and food justice in Boston."
As the only healthy winter food market accepting EBT/SNAP—as well as Boston Bounty Bucks, an initiative of the City of Boston and the Boston Collaborative for Food & Fitness which doubles the value of SNAP purchases to a total of up to $20—the Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market is uniquely poised to serve consumers of all income levels.
Housed in the Codman Square Great Hall, a National Register of Historic Places site, the market further energizes an invaluable community space. Now utilized by Codman Square Health Center and the Codman Academy Charter School, the former library building frequently hosts neighborhood meetings, health fairs and civic forums.
About the Dorchester Community Food Cooperative:
The Dorchester Community Food Cooperative is a local food initiative founded in 2011 by residents of Dorchester and the surrounding communities. It is planning to establish a full-service, community and worker-owned food cooperative in Dorchester within the coming years. The "Food Co-op" will offer farm-fresh produce, bulk grains and spices and a variety of healthy food and green household products. In addition, it will serve as a community asset and gather space for skill-sharing, civic engagement and health/nutrition education.
The Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market will run from noon to 3 p.m. on Sundays from January 8 through the end of March. The market is housed within the Great Hall at Codman Square, 6 Norfolk, Dorchester, MA, located at the intersection of Washington and Norfolk Streets. The nearby Shawmut Station provides subway transportation to the area and numerous buses serve the area.

Google politely asks Minnesota's small businesses to get a website
Google, one might think, has this whole internet thing figured out. And Minnesota, one might think, is a technologically sophisticated state, wired from corner to corner.
As it turns out, Minnesotans have a lot of room to grow in terms of internet usage, and Google is essentially saying, "Come on in, there's plenty of room."
According to Google -- which, at this point, knows almost every fact there is -- 60 percent of Minnesota's small businesses don't even have a website. If you take "small business" all the way down to the most basic level of a single, self-employed person, that could mean as many as 400,000 Minnesota businesses that don't have a web presence, Minnesota Public Radio reports.
Because it needs full participation in its "take over the world and then Step 2" project, Google's offering Minnesota's small businesses a free crack at joining the rest of earth on the world wide web.
Google's one of the sponsors of the "Minnesota Get Your Business Online" -- not to be confused with "Vermont Get Your Business Online" or "Ohio Get Your Business Online" -- as part of the company's bossy new promotion to push old-fashioned small businesses into this internet thing. Other partners on the project include both the Minneapolis and St. Paul Chambers of Commerce and the Minnesota Association of Non-Profits.
Speaking of nonprofits, Google's end of the deal is that Minnesota's small businesses will get one free year of website hosting from the California behemoth. Earlier this month, at a conference in St. Paul, 900 local businesses took them up on that offer, MPR reports.
The national numbers Google provides are pretty staggering: Something like 97 of Americans look online for products or services, but 59 percent of small businesses don't have a web presence. This sounds like a great recipe to make small businesses into tiny businesses.
So, Google's asking them to cast out into the darkness, taking Google's hand and believing in CEO Eric Schmidt's strong assertion -- "I think so," he said -- that its search results are fair.
Steve Grove, head of news and politics at Google and Youtube -- man that sounds like an important job -- told MPR that a lot of reluctant business owners think that getting their stuff online will be too expensive or too complicated.
"People think, 'Oh, I need to have like a special IT guy' or 'I need to know how to write computer code in order to get on the web,'" Grove said. "But in fact it's actually super easy."
Oh, no. Is this going to be like when your grandparents got an answering machine? Are the small businesses of Minnesota now going to flood Google's search results with a ton of websites called "Website name here" and "Peggie's Venison Jerky Website name here"?
Come on, small businesses. Minnesota's got a good reputation online. Don't screw this up for us.

Quality Product
Posted by Reviewer1992087 on Aug 31, 2010
Use this for daily help with IBS-C. It's safe for daily use, and it doesn't cause cramping or loose stool. This is best used on a very consistent, regular basis and NOT for "getting the colon rolling." It's fiber - not a laxative.
slow to dissolve but causes less bloat
Posted by Reviewer2798186 on Apr 29, 2011
I was experiencing painful levels of bloating from other fiber supplements, fortunately, the acacia fiber seems to work better for me. Unfortunately, this product doesn't dissolve as fast as a product like Benefiber, nor is it quite so tasteless or colorless. However, the color is slight and the mild taste isn't bad...

Not sure yet.
Posted by Angeleyes on Feb 15, 2015
I use this off and on for our child when he has a flare up. He has gut dybosis from leaky gut syndrome and his BM's can be very off at times. In addition to many other supplements, this tummy fiber works well. Just a few grains and he is good to go. Recommend, however we have found other supplements to work more consistently for him, so we only use this occasionally. Ingredients are high quality.

A Bone to Pick
Time for a little rant.
In this era of internet fast - rapid dissemination of information, we've expected our hard-hitting beat reporters to keep asking the tough questions. Yesterday, the reporting on Reed Johnson's foot injury disappointed me. The news was lightning fast. I got a twitter text message from David Kaplan regarding Johnson's X-Rays showing a fracture in his foot. Then before blinking an eye there were links to articles from all of the major beat writers...Tribune's Paul Sullivan, Gordon Wittenmeyer/Sun-Times and Bruce Miles/Herald.
Unfortunately they forgot to ask a followup question. Something like...could you tell us what bone is broken? C'mon guys, this is no longer the era of "the toe bone is connected to the foot bone". In these times when medical information is being questioned for more
specific information, you would think they could ask what bone was
broken. It leads to less unnecessary speculation (or at least more
specific speculation). I had hoped they learned this lesson. I recall when Gordon Wittenmeyer got his dander up, when the news on Rich Harden's MRI showed a small rotator cuff tear but they didn't get that information after the test in October but only found out that information in January at the Cubs convention. I was proud of GW back then for raising a fuss.
Although it might not make much difference in estimating the time to recover (they all reported up front it would be 4 weeks, meaning he's out until September), it really bugs me that the baseball reporters didn't ask what bone was broken in Reed Johnson's foot. Group think often leads to complacency. They just might be missing something important here. After reading all 3 biggies (Sullivan, Wittenmeyer and Miles), none of them wrote anything more than this:
Sullivan: "Johnson continued to play and flied out in the second inning. He was removed in the top of the fourth and sent to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for X-rays, which revealed a non-displaced fracture on the top of the foot."
Wittenmeyer: "The platoon lead-off man suffered a non-displaced fracture when he fouled a pitch off his foot in the first inning Wednesday. He later singled and scored the first run and batted once more before leaving as the pain got worse."
Miles: "The Cubs originally announced Johnson had a bruise, but X-rays revealed a non-displaced fracture..."
There are 11 bones in the foot not counting toes (phalanges). If it's a metatarsal fracture (there are 5 metatarsals) it probably doesn't make much difference in terms of time to heal but if he broke a bone called the navicular it could be longer than 4 weeks...much longer. Dempster broke a phalanx (big toe) and it took 2 weeks so I assume it's not that...they would have said he broke a toe, not his foot if that were the case.
A navicular fracture was what Frank Thomas as well as Michael Jordan had early in his career and currently has led to big problems with Yao Ming.
I found this link with some info on why Navicular fractures are different but it does mention one thing in common with what they said about Reed Johnson's injury...it's located at the top of the foot:
As early as 2002, the American Academy of Family Physicians reported a rise in tarsal navicular bone fractures in active people. It is most common in athletes who indulge in running sports, and is very difficult to spot, which causes further complications as the condition worsens. The bone is located at the top of the foot.
The first symptom is usually pain in the midfoot area, gradually spreading throughout the rest of the foot. Regular x-rays don't usually pick up the damage right away, so doctors are often led in another direction in trying to diagnose the source of the trouble. Slight injuries are often treated with six to eight weeks of immobilization in a cast. Worse cases like Yao's often necessitate surgery.
Navicular fractures can be difficult to diagnose and often don't show up on initial X-Rays because they can happen initially as a stress fracture. That's a subtle hairline crack that is like a crack in a car winshield. It can extend or propagate if it gets continued activity and RJ did play after he was hit in the foot during the 1st inning at bat, in fact he singled and subsequently scored on DLee's sac fly...then continued in the outfield for another inning and even batted again until he couldn't handle the pain.
I'm not saying RJ's got a navicular fracture.
We don't know what bone is injured when they say a fracture in the foot even if they have said the X-Ray's showed a non-displaced fracture. So I'm just sayin' that reporting a non-displaced fracture in the foot isn't enough these days. Especially when it's two day's before the trade deadline and any DL stint longer than 4 weeks could be a significant issue.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Only possible more charitable explanations that I can think of for their omission is that the Cubs sent them the news in some form of press release, where there wasn't an actual human being available to whom they could quickly direct follow-up questions.
If that is the case, then I would hope that either A. one of them would note it in their reporting, or B. within the next few hours, as someone from the Cubs becomes available, it will be the first question asked.
If it winds up being B, then I am going to give you all credit as being the impetus. If neither of those things happen, then yeah, it's another case of "reporters" really being little more than dictation machines. Someone pay me to transcribe the Cubs press releases! I cn transricbe goood!
Re: A Bone to Pick
I think what we're failing to take into consideration here is that 99.9% of Cub fans probably don't care what bone in the foot is broken as long as they know he's only out 4 weeks.
I think the assumption is that if the Cubs said he would be out 4 weeks and there's a non-displaced fracture in the top of his foot, it means it's not a navicular fracture.
OTOH, if the "4 weeks" figure is just conjecture on the part of the beat writers based on a typical timetable for a standard foot injury, my assumption goes out the window.
Also, don't get me wrong, I love reading Dr. Hecht's analysis, and it always helps when he has more details with which to work, but the time for these "journalists" to do some sleuthing was when KW and Prior kept getting injured and no one knew what was going on.
Re: A Bone to Pick
where there wasn't an actual human being available to whom they could quickly direct follow-up questions
if it was a press release...then I would have expected Bruce Levine to don his cape and fly to the information highway's rescue. Plus David Kaplan has contacts with all the medical staff at Northwestern. I think he could have gotten that question asked and answered for a freebie Lou Malnotti's pizza.
...getting off the soap box to watch today's game.
Re: A Bone to Pick
It's a very, very good soapbox on which to stand.
Re: A Bone to Pick
even Len/Bob in the TV pregame say: non-displaced fracture in RJ's left foot.
and although Stevens is at the ballpark today, they expect Sam Fuld to be with the club in Florida.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Don't you have to be down for 5 days or something once you get sent to AAA?
Re: A Bone to Pick
I think it's 15 days unless you replace someone who goes to the DL.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Re: A Bone to Pick
Miles weighs in on Fuld being called to the team for the Florida series
also says Soto may be ready for possibly the Cincy series or more likely Colorado series.
Re: A Bone to Pick
now it comes out...
NY Times reporting ManRam and Ortiz tested positive in 2003 and are on "the list"
Re: A Bone to Pick
Wittenmeyer also got a crucial fact wrong. Johnson broke his foot AFTER he singled and scored in the 1st, not before. The foul ball off his foot came in his 2nd at bat.
Re: A Bone to Pick
I was thinking the same thing.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Nice catch. Curious to see how long his article stays posted before being corrected.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Two guys HBP??? What is Hart doing?
Re: A Bone to Pick
How is Mike Fontenot better than Andres Blanco, again? I'm having trouble making sense of all that.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Re: A Bone to Pick
Re: A Bone to Pick
Less chance of Fontenot (than Blanco) landing Big Z on the DL for ritual piggy-back rides?
Re: A Bone to Pick
I <3 Fontenot.
Re: A Bone to Pick
I'm sure the 4 week estimate came from the medical staff, probably the orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Gryzlo) and not the writers.
...still it's like when ARam had his dislocation or Dempster broke his big toe...the recovery estimates were all over the map and it takes time to see how things are progressing. Having more info just helps analyze these injuries. Hence a rant not an inquistion.
Some injuries have a trickier track record, but still can heal quickly if all goes well. Another one has a the nickname called a Jones fracture...which is a fracture (often starting as a stress fracture as well) at the base of the 5th metatarsal but closer to the bones proximal shaft and has a very different healing timeframe than an avulsion type fracture at the base of the 5th MT (which is much more common).
Re: A Bone to Pick
How the hell do you let Kaz "Anal Fissure" Matsui homer off you?
Re: A Bone to Pick
Fox, Bradley... back to back!
Re: A Bone to Pick
When Bradley and Sori are hitting, with Lee and Fox before them, that is quite a murderous lineup.... Too bad Lou doesn't seem to trust Fox with catching...
Re: A Bone to Pick
With a healthy roster I like Fox on the bench. He can be what Olmedo Seanez was to the Dodgers a few years ago: A bench bat with some thunder.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Another day of whoop-ass! I love it!
Re: A Bone to Pick
Heyman tweets that Cubs are close to Grabow and could add another pitcher...
Re: A Bone to Pick
cost should be interesting...if the cubs can get him for scraps that'd be impressive, but a fox/marshall/hoff could be in their future.
grabe's worth more than his numbers show.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Can't imagine the cubs would give up marshall, it would seem to defeat the purpose of making the trade. My guess is that they offer/ed a couple of A level or below arms that have potential and hope that it gets done. That seems to be hendry's m.o. when trading for spare parts.
Re: A Bone to Pick
problem is grabow is more than spare parts to PIT...and a lotta teams
i hate his control issues and he's got starter stuff, but he can't quit working deep counts and walking people.
behind those "meh" numbers are a 93-95mph fastball, a deadly changeup that actually works on righties, and a slider. lot of people would love to kick the tires on the guy...esp. since he stays healthy, too.
Re: A Bone to Pick
think I worded that incorrectly. Grabow is a solid setup guy, but Hendry hasn't typically given up a lot for guys like him in the past. Not that Hoff or Fox should be untouchable, but I guess I don't see them going in a deal. I guess we'll see.
Re: A Bone to Pick
heard that...i don't have an inside track on the trade or rumors or names, but i know grabow was highly sought after this offseason and his stuff is something people would love to kick the tires on.
he's got starter stuff, but he can't consistently put it together...even batter to batter.
just looking at his #s it should seem that he'd be cheap, but behind those numbers are some tools that are worth a lot of he even finds a shred more control over it.
Re: A Bone to Pick
Hmmm... he sounds like someone Dave Duncan would turn into a staff ace....
Re: A Bone to Pick
Grabow, Gorzelanny being talked about...
(thnx to Paul Noce for the links from parachat)
Re: A Bone to Pick
Grabow and Gorzelanny suggests that the Cubs may need more depth at starting pitcher. Wonder if Lilly is to be out longer than first suggested?
espn: Cubs finalizing deal for Grabow

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

BMG May Extend Debt Profile on Better Credit After Itau Venture
Banco BMG SA, whose bonds are delivering the second-best returns in Brazil this year, said it aims to extend its debt profile as credit quality improves after forming a joint venture with Itau Unibanco Holding SA.
BMG's $250 million of subordinated bonds due 2020 have returned 21.4 percent in 2013, the most among Brazilian companies after meatpacker Marfrig Alimentos SA. Yields on the securites have tumbled 2.49 percentage points to 11.83 percent.
"If I offer a rate that is a little less, but I am extending the horizon, I think it's a good deal," BMG Chief Executive Officer Antonio Hermann de Azevedo, who is meeting with investors in New York next month, said today in an interview at Bloomberg's Sao Paulo offices. "It's natural."
BMG's payroll-lending venture with Itau is boosting investor confidence after it helped the bank snap a streak of four quarterly losses with a profit in the first quarter of this year. Second-quarter net income rose to 223 million reais ($98 million), up from 121.3 million reais in the previous three months, according to an earnings statement this week.
Fitch Ratings called the results "credit positive" in a report today, adding that the accord with Itau supports BMG with funding "it needs to generate good recurring earnings."
Under terms of the venture, which started operating in March, Itau provides unlimited funding for payroll lending, plus 300 million reais directly to BMG over five years.
BMG ended the second quarter with about $1.5 billion of overseas debt due 2014 to 2020, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Belo Horizonte, Brazil-based bank, which is moving its headquarters to Sao Paulo this month, expects to triple the balance of local bank bonds, known as letras financeiras, to 1.5 billion reais by year-end and is preparing two asset-backed receivables funds, known as FIDCs, of about 500 million reais apiece, Azevedo said.
Extending debt maturities must be treated "very cautiously to avoid any wrong bond movements," said Danilo Herculano, the head of investor relations. "As the investors understand this credit improvement, they will feel more comfortable."


text: Another SJSU defensive player has been named the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week. Safety Cullen Newsome is the newest Spartan added to the list, which now stands at five on the season.Newsome, a senior from Roseville, Calif., recorded a season-high 10 tackles and also intercepted a pass in the Spartans 31-20 win over Texas State on Saturday.We talked about how we was going to have to make a lot of individual tackles in the option, head coach Mike MacIntyre said about Newsomes preparation for Texas States tricky option offense. He made a lot of open field tackles and read eyes very well and was able to make a pick. He played a phenomenal game and Im extremely proud of Cullen.Newsomes interception came on Texas States opening drive of the second half while SJSU trailed 20-17. The SJSU defense held the Bobcats scoreless in the second half and limited them to just 98 yards in the final two quarters. I think it was a huge part in getting momentum back and finally proving our adjustments were working, Newsome said after the win. It helped the team realize that once it gets fixed its easy to stop.Newsome joins linebacker Vince Buhagiar, cornerback Bene Benwikere and defensive end Travis Johnson as Spartans recognized with the defensive award this season. INJURY REPORT Sophomores running back Tyler Ervin (right shoulder) and linebacker Derek Muaava (right knee) were hurt in Saturdays win and did not return to the game. Ervin underwent an MRI Monday and Muaava is scheduled to have an MRI done Tuesday.MacIntyre has ruled Muaava out for this Saturdays game at Idaho. We are not sure of the extent yet, he said. Theyre going to let the swelling go down first. He just made a cut and his knee gave out.Ervin, the teams main kick returner and part-time running back, suffered his injury in the first quarter of the Texas State game after breaking a 32-yard run to set up an SJSU field goal. That play was the longest play of his from scrimmage this season.If we lose those guys theyll be big losses, MacIntyre said. Well miss them if they cant play but we have to find guys to step in and play thats part of having a good football team.

Adult gymnastics
I have been looking into adult gymnastics classes. I am a 27yr male. I was curious what peoples experiences are for those who are taking them now. Also i was curious as to what i should look for. I would like to take classes that have more of an agenda. I have played sports my whole life and am still very active. I would like to learn how to train and condition like gymnast do, learn some of the apparatuses, and some simple tumbling. Even though i have no desire to compete or anything i still would like to move through the progressions as a real gymnast would not just learn random things. Any and all feedback would be great as to experiences and what to look for.
I took a few weeks of classes at a local school that has a good school-age program. Overall, it was not a good experience. The classes were run more as an "open gym." People just showed up and trained whatever they wanted. Nominally, one of the coaches was there to offer advice and help you, but in practice I never got a lot of actual coaching beyond generalities that I figured out for myself.
Almost all of the people at the adult classes trained tumbling, including a group from a local wushu school. I was mainly interested in handbalancing and rings, so I didn't have anyone to partner with. After a few sessions, my training was mostly handstand practice -- which I can do at my regular gym without paying $10 a session -- and basic conditioning on the rings and bars, which has some benefits, but not enough to justify the cost. If I was really serious about ring training, I could just buy a set and start working on muscle-ups and cross pullouts in the comfort of my own home.
If you choose to do it, I'd pick just one or two skills to train at a time. Don't try to train every apparatus. I'm sure I would have built some proficiency if I had stayed with it, but only one or two sessions per week makes it hard to learn a bunch of skills simultaneously.
Also, the first few sessions made my forearms and biceps very sore. Take it easy and don't push to your limit until you've adapted to the training.
Even though this was a pretty negative post, I don't want to dissuade you from doing it. I haven't practiced handbalancing much since I quit -- if anything, blocking out a dedicated gymnastics session forced me to train those skills. I have other commitments that keep from going back now, but I'm moderately interested in returning and focusing only on tumbling.
Just take into account the real amount of coaching you'll be getting, the general interests of the other students, and the skills you actually want to learn.
Daniel hit on a key point there is a huge difference between class and open gym. My wife and I go to adult gymnastics once in a while at a gym in town and it is is mainly just open gym. One of the coaches is always willing to work with you but there is no scheduled progression.
Definitely give it a go. Open gym is really fun, just getting out on the spring floor and tumbling or playing on the high bar is well worth it.
My advice is not to let the instructors (if one can call many of them that) push you into doing advanced (for you) tricks too early.
I've never done gymnastics and my guy wanted me doing back handsprings my first time there. Didn't happen--I didn't even go there. No way. I may look like a "big" gymnast, but I sure ain't stupid enough to think I can do that stuff right off the bat.
Due to a lack of teaching progressions, I injured my big toe (hyperflexion to the MTP joint) that has taken several months to almost become symptom-free (even with my access to laser treatments and joint mobility training). I still have not gone back, even with my three prepaid sessions remaining.
I'm going to look into creating an adult gymnastics class with other CFers in Tucson where the instructor is there to teach us what we want to learn, nothing else. Personally I find most tumbling to be a lot of risk for little benefit (as compared to gymnastics strength training).
be careful. I went with my wife to an open gym type of class. Cluster F>?% is all it was. I went form remedial cartwheels to a back tuck within 45 min. Too fast for my comfort, but i thought, "he is the coach". Long story short, I allowed myself to be pushed too fast, and on my first back tuck into the soft pit area, I came close to knocking myself out with my knee when I landed.
be careful

Neural networks are showing promise for application in power electronics and motion control systems. So far, they have been applied for a few cases, mainly in the control of converters and drives, but their application in estimation is practically new. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that such a technology can be applied for estimation of feedback signals in an induction motor drive with some distinct advantages when compared to DSP based implementation. A feedforward neural network receives the machine terminal signals at the input and calculates flux, torque, and unit vectors (cos θe and sin θe) at the output which are then used in the control of a direct vector-controlled drive system. The three-layer network has been trained extensively by Neural Works Professional II/Plus program to emulate the DSP-based computational characteristics. The performance of the estimator is good and is comparable to that of DSP-based estimation. The system has been operated in the wide torque and speed regions independently with a DSP-based estimator and a neural network-based estimator, and are shown to have comparable performance. The neural network estimator has the advantages of faster execution speed, harmonic ripple immunity, and fault tolerance characteristics compared to DSP-based estimator
