SXSW Aftermath: Roll Call At Saturday Night's Alex Chilton Tribute
Which big names played the Big Star tribute? In the wake of turmoil of the death of Alex Chilton, local media bandied names including Cheap Trick, fresh off a sterling SXSW show at Auditorium Shores, and Paul Westerberg - who had his say-so in Sunday's New York Times - as among those who might appear onstage. Here's our tally of the actual guests: Curt Kirkwood, M. Ward, Evan Dando, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, Chris Stamey, John Doe, Amy Spease, Sondre Lerche, Chuck Prophet, Susan Cowsill and the Watson Twins. It was a rousing if tear-filled occasion; drummer Jody Stephens seemed at times to be in a trance.
One real treat was watching Chilton's collaborators Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, longtime Posies and members of Big Star since 1994, mix it up with original Big Star guitarist Andy Hummel, who left the band in 1974. When Big Star previously played Antone's during the 2004 edition of SXSW, Hammel was unable to join the showcase.

Great, convenient, clean hotel, right off the highway. Nice evening snacks at the lobby. A few minute drive to downtown Corning for a nice restaurant and cool vibe. About a half hour scenic drive from Watkins Glen. Perfect day for us.

Nice Hotel - Beds are Queen, but seem Full
Beds were comfy. Although hotel staff says beds are "Queen", they seem to be "Full" or a smaller "Queen" than I have at home.

Gig Alert: Check Out Sleeping in the Aviary at Rubber Gloves Tonight
Yes, the weather outside is indeed frightful but, if you're done shopping, I can't think of anything better than heading to Denton and catching Sleeping in the Aviary tonight.
The Madison band's core of Elliott Kozel (guitar/vocals), Michael Sienkowski (drums) and Phil Mahlstadt (bass), recently added a fourth member, Celeste Heule, on accordion and musical saw. Comparisons to everyone from Violent Femmes to Nirvana to Neutral Milk Hotel have resulted in SITA finding a firm footing in a wonderfully unclassifiable wilderness where a lot of other great acts reside.
Expensive Vomit in a Cheap Hotel, the band's wonderfully titled sophomore efforts, finds Kozel and crew expanding far beyond the unrehearsed punk/noise of their debut. Songs like "Everybody's Different, Everybody Dies," Windshield" and "Write On" are dripping with lo-fi, indie cool and slacker irreverence. With only a slight hint of pop, the songs of Sleeping in the Aviary, which also just played thee region this past weekend for a gig at the Double Wide, feature odd time signatures, bizarre production flourishes and just the right amount of whimsy.
Also appearing on tonight's bill will be two local acts: Giggle Party and Young and Brave. As long as Rubber Gloves' heating system is working, this should be a fun evening of enjoyable cacophony. --Darryl Smyers

Thanks for helping!
This place is 42+ miles from my house. We drive here to eat boiled crawfish several times during the season. Been eating here for 20 years or so. Cajun music on the weekend with dance floor. Small airstrip for planes and helicopters from Ft. Polk.
We made reservations but it wasn't busy for being a Friday evening (we got there a bit late). We had the boiled and BBQ blue crabs. Delicious! Also a seafood platter - very good, too. Enjoyed the band. I would definitely go again!
This trip was disappointing this time. Our waitress wasn't very good at all. And the bad thing was that it wasn't even busy.
But as far as the food, it was good. We just didn't get refills on our drinks and our waitress wasn't nice at all.
Music every thur-Sat nights with different groups, all Cajun of course.
Hard to get to so ask, about 20 min from Eunice but well worth the trip, even if just for the food.
But, if you like good Cajun music, this is the place.
We were visiting friends from out of town and they thought this place would provide us with a true Cajun experience. This place did not disappoint! The live music provided for a wonderful opportunity to hit the dance floor or even to people watch. Young, old, or totally city girl could just join in the fun without being judged or...
We have been here many times, and written many good reviews. This place is about the best around for seafood, and particularly crawfish or crabs depending on the season.
You can read my previous review for more of my observations. But you just cannot go wrong at DI's.
Listen to Cajun music while eating Cajun food, very Cajun. They do take reservations. We made reservations for 6:00 and the music started at 6:30, perfect timing. We had alligator bites for an appetizer and ordered our meal. We thought it was good food but we don't know good from bad Cajun food because we're from Minnesota. We were there...
3 Ladies left the Galveston area and hunt was on. We at times doubted if DI's really existed as we road down the rural road with only internet info and arrived to a packed parking lot. Not only was the food exceptional, the owners' mother and son shared the history with us and served us Mom's latest bread pudding. Hope...
Cajun bands on site Thursday-Sunday, good atmosphere with large crowds and dancing to the Cajun music. The food and the service are spotty to OK-crawfish , seafood-typical Cajun fare. If your looking for good food there are better choices, but the atmosphere is unique.
This restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere and was a treat to visit. They have a landing pad where guys from the local base had helicoptered in. It's a down home no frills place with tons of seating and live bands Thursday through Saturday. They have seafood, steaks, salads, and burgers. We ordered the seafood and shrimp platters....

"Just wanted to point out something you may not be aware of. Coreopsis
'Limerock Ruby', which has received great hype as a new perennial,
doesn't usually survive the winter, even in zone 7. There are a couple
of threads on the perennials forum, "Coreopsis Limerock Ruby-Wimpy or
What?" and "Information on Coreopsis Limerock Ruby". There are a great
many people posting to these threads who have had the plant die in its
first winter - in all likelihood, its really an annual (although an
expensive one!)"

Supernatural Forces & Science Go Head To Head To Finally Discover The Truth
Don Philips & Steve Mera -The Ultimate Scientific Exploration Of The Unknown (C) The Phenomena Project
Meet The Phenomena Crew
It's certainly a tantalizing pre-title and introduction to the series. We've moved away from the paranormal space, but its an interesting mix of the myth and mystery, coupled with the scientific investigation. I think you've definitely struck a chord that taps into a gap in the market, as there's been nothing in this space for quite a while and this investigation feels particularly British in appeal.

While shopping, it isn't always clear if a food that appears to be natural and healthy contains what it claims to. Chemical treatments during cultivation and processing is just one of many examples of how fruits, berries etc. are stripped of their natural contents. foodspring guarantees food with real, healthy added value. We have nothing to hide, especially not pesticide. We just want to conjure up healthy meals.
What products will you find under Smart Cooking?
The foodspring goji berries from the Chinese highlands combine virtually every vital nutrient that a person needs. foodspring goji berries are from certified organic cultivations and make a great topping for salads or sweet dishes. They can also be steeped as tea or even used as an alternative for meat. Our hand-picked, pure white chia seeds are a classic addition to muesli and smoothies. They serve as a source of high quality fats and proteins but also as a filling food while on a diet. Chia can accomplish much more: It is a great alternative for eggs in baked goods, which is good news for vegans. foodspring cold pressed coconut oilis a rich and delicious cooking fat. It is bottled directly after the coconut is harvested - no bleaching, no heating, no chemical additives. The 100% coconut oil from organic farms is suitable for simple cooking and also has cosmetic uses. Peanut butter is not just a protein rich spread for bread, it is also suitable as a base for sauces, for marinating meat and as fillings in sweet baked goods. Commercial peanut butter often contains up to 10% hydrogenated fats, sugar and salt. foodspring peanut butter is unpretentious and simply good: We use organic peanuts that are ground together with their nutrient rich skins. Nothing else.
What are the functions of Smart Cooking?
We know that eating is joie de vivre. This is why we offer ingredients with which Smart Cooking becomes truly delicious. You do not need to do without harmless and functional ingredients. foodspring foods for simple cooking cover the 3 largest macronutrients: Our chia seeds offer youcarbohydrates in the form of fibre that promotes digestion, plant proteinsare found in abundance in peanut butter, healthy fats such as lauric acid are found in organic coconut oil. Goji berries provide an extra portion of micro nutrients - vitamins, minerals, trace elements and, last but not least, antioxidants. We have put together our Smart Cooking assortment such that you can put together simple meals from breakfast to dinner, that are guaranteed to cover your nutritional needs. We address different nutritional concepts in this manner: Vegetarian or vegan lifestyles, sports nutrition, nutrition for those with allergies or for those on a weight loss plan. All Smart Cooking products can also be consumed as they are - if cooking is not part of the plan.
Things to look out for while buying Smart Cooking ingredients online
Two things are important while buying natural products: The raw material and the processing. Recognised organic labels provide a dependable indication of sustainable agriculture without the use of pesticides or other similar substances. This minimizes harmful residues in the end product and also benefits the environment and growers. You can rely on the EG organic seal, for instance, that certifies foodspring organic products. The best raw material is worthless if harsh methods like bleaching or freeze drying are used while processing or if the product has artificial additives added to it. It is worthwhile to examine the label in any case. Those who want to do themselves good focus on a supplier that uses modern production methods. Smart Cooking ingredients from foodspring give you no chemicals, and in return give you better nutritional value and diverse tastes.

The Browns didn't pick Ken Whisenhunt to become their coach last year, but they're compelled to give him a chance to convince them that they were wrong.
The Browns will interview Whisenhunt on Saturday for their head-coaching vacancy, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday. Whisenhunt, the offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers, interviewed with the Detroit Lions on Thursday and has a meeting scheduled Friday with the Tennessee Titans, according to the report.
The Browns interviewed Whisenhunt twice last year, and he became a finalist for the coaching job before they chose Rob Chudzinski instead. Chudzinski went 4-12 and was fired Dec. 29 after his first season on the job.
Browns CEO Joe Banner left himself some wiggle room last week when he said, "I don't think there will be anybody from last year's search who will be a candidate this year." Whisenhunt, 51, obviously would be an exception.
NFL rules prohibit teams from offering jobs to coaches who are still in the postseason. The Chargers will face the Denver Broncos in a divisional playoff game Sunday night. In his first season with the Chargers, Whisenhunt helped the offense finish the regular season ranked fifth in the NFL (393.3 yards per game).
Whisenhunt was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals for six seasons. They fired him after the team started 4-0 but ended the 2012 season with a 5-11 record.
He compiled a regular-season record of 45-51 with the Cardinals and went 4-2 in the playoffs. He guided the Cardinals to the Super Bowl following the 2008 season, when they lost 27-23 to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Whisenhunt was a special-teams coach for the Browns during their expansion season in 1999. He later served as the Steelers' offensive coordinator from 2004-06 before becoming the Cardinals' coach in 2007.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam bought a minority stake in the Steelers in 2008, so he is familiar with people who know Whisenhunt well from his days in Pittsburgh. He and Banner also got to know Whisenhunt better through the interview process last year.
Whisenhunt was an NFL tight end for nine seasons (1985-93). He played for the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins and New York Jets.
The Browns have interviewed New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo, Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, according to reports. The team is not commenting on interviews.
McDaniels, though, removed himself from consideration for the job after he reached out to the Browns following his interview Saturday and was told he wasn't the front-runner, a league source said Wednesday night, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the search.
NFL Network's Albert Breer reported the primary reason for McDaniels staying with the Patriots is to create stability for his family. He and his wife have four young children.
The first interview request the Browns submitted went to Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase. However, Gase said he would postpone all interview opportunities until the Broncos are done with the playoffs.
The Browns are also interested in two college head coaches, Auburn's Gus Malzahn and Vanderbilt's James Franklin, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported last week. But Franklin is expected to become the next coach at Penn State, according to reports.

Magnesium Use in Asthma Pharmacotherapy: A Pediatric Emergency Research Canada Study
OBJECTIVES: To examine the use of intravenous magnesium in Canadian pediatric emergency departments (EDs) in children requiring hospitalization for acute asthma and association of administration of frequent albuterol/ipratropium and timely corticosteroids with hospitalization.
METHODS: Retrospective medical record review at 6 EDs of otherwise healthy children 2 to 17 years of age with acute asthma. Data were extracted on history, disease severity, and timing of ED stabilization treatments with inhaled albuterol, ipratropium, corticosteroids, and magnesium. Primary outcome was the proportion of hospitalized children given magnesium in the ED. Secondary outcome was the ED use of "intensive therapy" in hospitalized children, defined as 3 albuterol inhalations with ipratropium and corticosteroids within 1 hour of triage.
RESULTS: A total of 19 (12.3%) of 154 hospitalized children received magnesium (95% confidence interval 7.1, 17.5) versus 2 of 962 discharged patients. Children given magnesium were more likely to have been previously admitted to ICU (odds ratio [OR] 11.2), hospitalized within the past year (OR 3.8), received corticosteroids before arrival (OR 4.0), presented with severe exacerbation (OR 6.1), and to have been treated at 1 particular center (OR 14.9). Forty-two (53%) of 90 hospitalized children were not given "intensive therapy." Children receiving "intensive therapy" were more likely to present with severe disease to EDs by using asthma guidelines (ORs 8.9, 3.0). Differences in the frequencies of all stabilization treatments were significant across centers.
CONCLUSIONS: Magnesium is used infrequently in Canadian pediatric EDs in acute asthma requiring hospitalization. Many of these children also do not receive frequent albuterol and ipratropium, or early corticosteroids. Significant variability in the use of these interventions was detected.

What's Known on This Subject:
We know that many evidence-based treatments for acute asthma are underused, and adherence with treatment guidelines is poor; however, studies have focused on β2 agonists and corticosteroids, but little is known about intravenous magnesium, which has substantial evidence of benefit.
What This Study Adds:
Magnesium is used infrequently in Canadian pediatric emergency departments in hospitalized children with acute asthma, with variation across sites. More than half of this population does not receive frequent bronchodilators and timely corticosteroids.
Acute asthma continues to be a leading cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations.1–4 Timely use of β2 agonists, ipratropium, and corticosteroids in the ED can substantially reduce the need for hospitalization.5–12 Evidence suggests that β2 agonists and corticosteroids are underused and adherence with pediatric asthma guidelines is poor.4,13–18 Furthermore, aggressive β2 agonist and corticosteroid therapy is not always effective in severe attacks, and nonresponders constitute most pediatric asthma hospitalizations.19
Two meta-analyses confirm that the addition of intravenous (IV) magnesium significantly decreases the need for hospitalizations.20,21 Although national and international guidelines do not specifically recommend that IV magnesium be given to all children with severe acute asthma, some authors advocate for its use in children not responding to initial management.20 Little is known about use of IV magnesium, however, as studies have largely focused on β2 agonists and corticosteroids.
A recent survey in North America found that only 7% of ED physicians report prescribing magnesium to avoid hospitalizations22; however, surveys do not necessarily capture how physicians practice in real life. In addition, previous studies examining use of bronchodilators and corticosteroids in the pediatric ED have been limited by design, lack of patient-level data,4,14,15 and generalizability.18,23–25 Because acute asthma has a substantial economic impact,3,26,27 knowledge of the actual use of IV magnesium and other beneficial pharmacotherapies is needed to guide knowledge-translation strategies to improve asthma care and decrease hospitalizations.
The primary objective of this multicenter study was to examine the use of IV magnesium in Canadian pediatric EDs for previously healthy children 2 to 17 years of age requiring hospitalization for acute asthma. Secondary objectives were to investigate association between the timely use of pharmacotherapies (IV magnesium, inhaled bronchodilators, and corticosteroids) and admission for asthma in children presenting to a pediatric ED.
Study Design and Population
This multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted at 6 tertiary care Canadian pediatric EDs: Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, IWK Health Center in Halifax, CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal, and Janeway Children's Hospital in St John's. All study hospitals are members of the collaborative research network, Pediatric Emergency Research Canada, and provide training to pediatric residents and/or pediatric emergency medicine fellows. Their annual patient and asthma visits census range from 30 000 to 60 000 and from 1200 to 2500, respectively. The study was approved by the research ethics boards of all participating institutions.
Children were included if they were otherwise healthy, 2 to 17 years of age, presented to the participating EDs between September 2008 and March 2009, and received a physician discharge diagnosis of acute asthma. We defined an asthma visit as a visit that received a primary ED diagnosis of asthma, status asthmaticus, reactive airways, or recurrent wheezing. We excluded children wheezing for the first time and those with any comorbidities. In children with multiple ED presentations for asthma within the study period, only the initial visit was included.
Study Protocol
A standardized data extraction form was used to obtain relevant information from the electronic/paper records. At each hospital, the medical records department identified consecutive records of children who presented to the ED within the target period and had an International Classification of Diseases discharge diagnosis code of asthma, reactive airway disease, recurrent wheeze, or status asthmaticus. Before the study, all site investigators obtained information about the annual number of children 2 to 17 years of age with the target diagnoses and their institution's hospitalization rate. Based on the data provided, we estimated that ∼1050 eligible records would need to be reviewed to obtain the target sample size. Although blinded to the primary research question, trained abstractors consecutively reviewed all identified medical records for eligibility and recorded relevant data from the eligible records into a secure web-based database. Each site's chronological chart review was conducted until at least the target sample size of hospitalization events was reached.
Extracted information included demographics, history, triage time, vital signs, and data on disease severity documented at triage before therapy, including the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score.19,28 Details of ED-administered pharmacotherapies included timing, dose, and number of treatments. At all participating centers, routine practice is to document the timing of interventions either simultaneously or immediately after their administration. This is consistently documented. Presence of magnesium-related side effects, such as hypotension, apnea, or heart block,29 were also documented.
Outcome Measures
Patients were categorized into those hospitalized from the ED versus those discharged from the hospital. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of hospitalized children administered IV magnesium during their ED visit. Because accurate ascertainment of the presenting severity was not always possible because of missing data, we have considered hospitalization a proxy measure of significant respiratory distress at presentation. Indicators for hospitalization used by clinicians at the participating centers include persistent dyspnea, supplemental oxygen requirement, persistent neck and chest retractions after systemic corticosteroids, and ongoing requirement for closely spaced inhaled bronchodilators. A clinician's decision to admit is also dependent on factors such as local ED resources, high-risk history (eg, previous ICU admission), inadequate understanding of asthma by the family, or distance to the patient's residence. Secondary outcomes consisted of the proportions of ED patients administered (1) magnesium, (2) 3 albuterol inhalations within 1 hour of triage with ipratropium,30 (3) systemic corticosteroids within 1 hour of triage,10 and (4) "intensive therapy" in hospitalized and discharged children. We defined "intensive therapy" as a combination of 3 inhaled albuterol treatments with ipratropium plus oral/IV corticosteroids within the initial hour after triage. The differences in the frequencies of these interventions across centers were also investigated.
We examined the association between the use of IV magnesium and the following a priori–defined factors: past admission to an ICU or hospitalization for asthma within the past 12 months, severe presentation, treatment with corticosteroids before the index ED visit, and treatment center. A severe asthma presentation was defined as presence of any 1 of the following 3 criteria: a triage PRAM score >8 points, documented severe retractions before therapy, or baseline transcutaneous oxygen saturation <90% in room air.19,28,31 Furthermore, we postulated that potential predictors of "intensive therapy" would be an annual ED volume >50 000, age older than 5 years, past ICU admission, and severe disease on arrival.
Sample Size
The estimated proportion of admitted patients who would be treated with IV magnesium was based on the aforementioned survey of ED physicians in North America.22 By using a conservatively estimated proportion of 10% magnesium use, a sample size of 134 hospitalized patients would produce a 95% confidence interval (CI) equal to this proportion, plus or minus 5%.32 Eligible charts were reviewed until at least 134 hospitalization events were reached.
The characteristics of the participating patients were analyzed with appropriate descriptive statistics, by using proportions for categorical data, means with SDs for the normally distributed continuous data, and medians with interquartile ranges (IQRs) for continuous data lacking normal distribution.
The χ2 and Fisher's exact tests were used for the comparisons of the rates of interventions in the admitted versus discharged children with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs calculated. The Cochrane Mantel-Haenszel test was used to compare the differences in the proportions of children receiving specific target therapies across centers in the hospitalized versus discharged children.33 We used univariate regression analysis to determine the degree of association between "intensive therapy" as a dependent variable and a priori–defined potential predictors of this outcome as independent variables. By using the variables with a P value for this association of <0.2 in the model, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine predictors independently associated with this outcome. Wald and likelihood ratios were used to remove noncontributory variables from the model. Univariate regression analysis was also used to determine the association between plausible predictors with the use of magnesium. Because of the small number of children administered magnesium, multivariable regression was not performed for this outcome.
Study Population
A total of 1358 possibly eligible visits were identified. Of these, 161 visits were excluded because of the child's first wheezing episode, 78 children had comorbidities, and 3 presented for the second time within the study period, leaving 1116 eligible participants. The mean age of these patients was 6.1 ± 3.8 years. The historical and clinical characteristics of the study population are described in Table 1. The overall hospitalization rate was 154 of 1116 or 13.8%. This outcome varied significantly across centers (P < .0001).
Use of Magnesium
Of the 1116 eligible participants, 21 (1.9%) received IV magnesium in the ED. Specifically, 19 (12.3%) of the 154 hospitalized children were given magnesium as part of their ED management (95% CI 7.1, 17.5); only 2 (0.2%) of the 962 discharged patients were given this intervention (95% CI 0, 0.5). Of the 8 children admitted to the ICU, 3 were treated with magnesium. Magnesium was administered in the ED to 3 (25%) of 12 children hospitalized at center 1, 13 (50%) of 26 at center 2, 1 (8%) of 12 at center 3, and 2 (4%) of 56 at center 4. At 2 hospitals (centers 5 and 6), none of the participating patients received this intervention during the study period.
The median time from triage to magnesium treatment was 164.5 minutes (IQR 72–301) but ranged widely from 20 minutes to 11.8 hours. A total of 10 patients (48%) were given magnesium within 4 hours of arrival. The mean dose used was 39.4 ± 11.4 mg/kg. Although centers 1, 3, and 4 gave 25.5 ± 0.6, 22.3, and 24.2 mg/kg, respectively, center 2 administered 41.4 ± 9.5 mg/kg. One child experienced apnea after 24 mg/kg of IV magnesium, but was not intubated. There were no documented episodes of hypotension after magnesium therapy.
Children given magnesium were significantly more likely to have been previously admitted to the ICU, to have had recent hospitalization for asthma, to have received corticosteroids for the index episode before arrival, to have presented with a severe exacerbation, and to have been treated at center 2 (Table 2).
Use of Other Pharmacotherapies Known to Affect Hospitalization
Approximately one-half and one-quarter of hospitalized children did not receive ipratropium or timely corticosteroids, respectively (Table 3). There were 837 children (76%) given corticosteroids; 413 (49%) received them within an hour of triage. Almost all hospitalized patients were given corticosteroids for the target exacerbation either in the ED or before arrival (Table 3). The median time from triage to initiation of corticosteroids was 66 minutes (IQR 36–111) and ranged from 1 minute to 24 hours. Approximately half of hospitalized children were not administered "intensive therapy" in the ED (Table 3). Differences in the rates of all interventions were significant across centers in hospitalized versus discharged children (Table 4).
Children administered "intensive therapy" were more likely to have had an ICU admission for asthma in the past, to present with a severe exacerbation, and be treated by EDs using asthma-management guidelines at the time of the review (Table 5). Significant independent predictors of "intensive therapy" included presentation with severe disease to EDs (OR 7.4, 95% CI 3.9, 14.1) by using asthma guidelines (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.8, 4.2). Of the 64 children with severe presentation in whom the data on "intensive therapy" were available, 39 (61%) received "intensive therapy."
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first nationwide pediatric ED study of asthmatic children with patient-level data describing the actual administration of all therapies known to affect hospitalization. We found that IV magnesium is used infrequently across Canada and that its administration varies significantly among centers. Although virtually all children admitted to hospital were treated with corticosteroids for their index exacerbation either in the ED or before arrival, it is noteworthy that half of this population did not receive "intensive therapy," which many experts and guidelines advocate as standard therapy.5–12
A large North American asthma study also examined the use of magnesium in the ED and reached similar conclusions.34 This study, however, included primarily adults and did not report separately on magnesium use in children. Of note, a letter to the editor about this study advocated for greater use of magnesium in children likely to require hospitalization.35
Magnesium has been shown to decrease hospitalizations by up to 50% in children with severe acute asthma.36 One potential explanation for its low utilization rate may include lack of physicians' belief in the applicability of these studies to their patient population because study eligibility in many magnesium trials was determined by peak expiratory flow rate,36–40 which cannot be performed in preschool children. Furthermore, a recent North America–wide survey found that many physicians are hesitant to insert an IV cannula solely for the purpose of administering magnesium. Our results, that 107 (70%) of the 154 hospitalized children did not have an IV inserted, confirm those of the survey. Because most patients received magnesium more than 70 minutes after triage, the goal of therapy in many cases may not have been prevention of hospitalization.22 Physicians have also expressed concern regarding magnesium's potential side effects.22 Therefore, a definitive, large multicenter trial evaluating the relative benefit to side-effect profile of IV magnesium may be needed.
The suboptimal rate of ipratropium use in hospitalized children may be explained similarly by the physicians' difficulties in accepting published findings. Entry criteria in many ipratropium trials consisted of scores and pulmonary function tests, which are usually not used in practice.41,42 Therefore, the clinical circumstances for which our colleagues choose to use ipratropium are also likely to be variable, as illustrated by a study from Australia showing overuse of anticholinergic agents in patients with mild exacerbations.43 Although the rate of timely corticosteroid therapy observed in our study was not ideal, it was higher than reported in a previous clinical pathway study.44
There may be at least 4 broad explanations for why optimal therapy was not consistently used. First, although clinical pathways increase the use of best evidence,44–46 not all participating centers were using them during the study. Second, an acute asthma study from a Canadian pediatric ED demonstrated that two-thirds of providers create their own variation of the pathway, usually as a result of specific knowledge gaps, disagreements with recommended management, or a view that treatment should be tailored to individuals rather than all patients.47 These findings likely apply to our study. Third, a systematic review shows that almost a half of providers intending to perform a particular pathway step fail to do so, usually because of obstacles including forgetfulness and implementation issues.47,48 Last, heavy ED patient load and understaffing likely prevented timely administration of "intensive therapy" to many patients.
Two recent national surveys found underuse of proven asthma therapies across the United States.4,13 A Canadian study by Lougheed et al18 also commented on management gaps in acute asthma care; however, this study focused only on Ontario hospitals and most of the study population was adults. The most important limitation of these studies is lack of patient-level data and none explored pharmaco-interventions targeting children with significant disease severity. A large Australian asthma study demonstrated underuse of corticosteroids in the EDs,43 but the treatment given to hospitalized children was not mentioned. In contrast, our study was able to identify children without comorbidities requiring hospitalization, the vast majority of whom can reasonably be assumed to have warranted the use of "intensive therapy."
In keeping with findings about other diseases, our results highlight the need for improved translation of high-quality evidence into patient care.49–54 Also, the implementation of quality improvement and performance feedback initiatives with the assistance of local opinion leaders may be helpful in improving the quality of care provided.4,55–60 Subsequent to this study, some study centers adopted clinical pathways by using PRAM scores to classify disease severity, and initiate bronchodilator and corticosteroid use from triage before physician assessment.61
Our study is inevitably limited by its retrospective design. The severity of respiratory distress was not consistently documented; therefore, variables, such as disease severity, had to be inferred by reviewing the medical record. The PRAM19 was not available for 5 of the 6 centers, because its use was uncommon during the study; however, the use of this recently validated tool is rapidly becoming a new standard of care at many pediatric centers across Canada, which will hopefully enable us to correlate disease severity and outcomes. Because the PRAM was not consistently applied, we cannot exclude the possibility that the use of "intensive therapy" may have been affected by local triage protocol rather than by disease severity only. The use of hospitalization as a proxy for identifying children in significant distress may not be ideal, as there are multiple factors considered in this decision and not all hospitalized children likely warranted "intensive therapy." Some may have been admitted for more moderate disease,19 which would explain the lower proportion of this population receiving "intensive therapy" compared with those with documented severe disease. Only 21 patients received magnesium. Although we were able to estimate the association of the rate of magnesium use with several variables, relevant 95% CIs were wide and independent predictors could not be determined. Because the use of magnesium was low and most magnesium treatments were administered at a single center, our findings need to be interpreted with caution. A future North America–wide study with a larger number of children treated with magnesium may yield different factors and degrees of association. Finally, our results may not be generalizable to general EDs and community hospitals; however, our results likely represent the "best-case scenario," as state-of-the-art treatments may be used less consistently in these other settings.13
Magnesium is used infrequently in Canadian pediatric EDs in children with acute asthma requiring hospitalization. Many of these children also do not receive frequent bronchodilator therapy with albuterol and ipratropium, or early corticosteroids. In addition, significant variability in the use of these interventions among Canadian centers was detected. Further investigation is required to determine the reasons for this variability.

A British-trained Pakistani lawyer announced today that he intends to use courts in Pakistan, the UK and the United States to try and halt drone strikes in the country's tribal areas.
Mirza Shahzad Akbar, a Pakistan-based lawyer who studied in Britain, has already filed a case against the CIA in Islamabad which resulted in the American intelligence services having to evacuate their station chief after he was named in the suit.
The case was brought on behalf of Karim Khan, a journalist in Waziristan whose son and brother were killed in a drone strike in January 2009, and has paved the way for scores more families to make similar claims. Farooq Law Associates, the law firm behind the suits, said yesterday that a further 24 civilians who have either been injured or lost family members in drone strikes have now been identified to bring further cases.
"More and more families who were victims of drone strikes are coming forward looking for justice," he said. "We want to give human identities, names and life stories to those people who until recently were just numbers."
Mr Akbar was speaking in London to announce the start of a joint legal campaign with Reprieve, the US-UK anti-death penalty charity that launched a series of successful legal actions in the States on behalf of inmates at Guantanamo.
The US carries out unmanned drone strikes on what they describe as "high value targets" in Pakistan and more recently Yemen, but the CIA has never officially acknowledged the programme. The vehicles are flown remotely by operators in California and are thought to have killed a number of key figures within al-Qa'ida and Taliban-linked groups.
In the American press anonymous officials have defended the strikes as a vital tool in the fight against Islamist militants but critics say the bombings cause unacceptable civilian losses and generate moral outrage which hands militants a valuable propaganda victory.
The number of drone strikes carried out in 2010 doubled from the previous year with similar strike figures emerging so far this year. Some human rights groups estimate that as many as 2,500 civilians have been killed alongside 33 "high value targets" that security sources in the US have indicated were also killed in Pakistan over the past nine years.
So far legal action against the CIA has only been brought in Pakistan where it faces long odds of success. But Mr Akbar's case did result in the US having to withdraw Jonathan Banks, the then Islamabad station chief, after he was named alongside Defence Secretary Robert Gates and CIA chief Leon Panetta as defendants.
The naming caused outrage among US officials who suspected that Pakistan's own intelligence service, the ISI, might have had a hand in outing Mr Banks possibly in retaliation for a civil lawsuit filed in Brooklyn last year implicating the ISI chief in the Mumbai terror attacks of November 2008
Asked by The Independent whether the ISI had given him the name, Mr Akbar said: "Actually it was a journalist who gave me the name but that's not the important thing. The important thing is that name got me the audience to take my litigation case to a larger audience. We found it in a week."
Clive Stafford-Smith, the director of Reprieve, said he hoped to use his work on Guantanamo as a blueprint for campaigning against drone strikes by bringing legal challenges in both Britain and the States.
"There are endless different ways that the courts in Britain, America and the international courts can be involved in this," he said, adding that any evidence of British intelligence being used to carry out air strikes in which civilians were killed could open up court cases here.
"We can get at them through compensation cases; we can get them through war crime cases; we can file homicide cases," he added. "Whether [these people] ever get prosecuted in a criminal case in Pakistan or not, they will begin to feel the breath of law enforcement on the back of their necks and they'll begin to take a little more seriously this question of whether you go round killing people by pushing button in California."

I've not been using my portable lately so better pass it on to some one who has better use of it.
For sale is a Black RSA SR71A + two (2) Tysonic Low Discharge NIMH 200 mah batteries. There is NO Charger INCLUDED (I think shipping out my charger will cost more than buying a NIMH charger at your location).
Price is 435 USD includes PayPal fees and Shipping to the US for now. I will use EMS (5-7) days which isn't cheap in my location. =(
But I trust EMS as I haven't lost a package sent to the US this way.
The items are here in Singapore and I have sold my previous RSA Predator to someone in the US without problems. Check feedback on my signature.
**RWA IMOD and External Caps NOT included
*I can send a picture of the SR71A alone if requested.
Just send me a PM if interested.

Broadcast 6.30pm on 01/03/2004
This story looks at the John Glover exhibition, a slice of our colonial history. Curated by David Hansen from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery the exhibition is the largest collection of Glover's work ever assembled and was so popular when it made its debut in Tasmania that the gallery had to extend its hours to accommodate the crowds.
GEORGE NEGUS: Now, before we meet Stephen Page, something really different - at least from the Mardi Gras - an exhibition of landscape paintings dating back to 1829. Put together in Tasmania, the exhibition also features in this year's Adelaide Festival. DAVID HANSEN, EXHIBITION CURATOR: John Glover is the father of Australian landscape painting. And he is the first professional artist to come to Australia and the first landscape painter to really capture the colour, the light, the contours of the Australian bush. One of the most extraordinary things about Glover is that at the age of 63, when he is comfortable, ready for retirement and a successful artist, with his family around him, he just pulls up stumps, travels halfway around the world to a landscape that might as well be Mars. In this 'retirement', in inverted commas... In this retirement, he establishes a successful agricultural and pastoral property and in his spare time, invents Australian landscape painting. Glover's reputation in England has sunk to dreadful depths. Problem is that his exact contemporaries are Turner and Constable, who are remarkable artists. Turner forges this extraordinary romantic sublime and Constable makes naturalism, which leads ultimately to impressionism and modernism. Glover, on the other hand, remains a classicist. It's only when he comes to Australia that the lights come on. And in response to the new environment, he becomes, in his turn, as extraordinary a painter as were Turner and Constable in England. Here, the picturesque conventions in which Glover was working are completely turned upside down. Instead of a bowl in which the landscape can nestle comfortably, you have an overturned parabola, this ridge line. You have the whole of the landscape utterly bathed in the light of noonday. It's a picture about air. It's a picture about nothing. It's a picture about distance. It has none of the comfortable props of European landscape painting. It's just pure hot, dry, midsummer Australia. JOHN MILLWOOD, FORMER CHAIRMAN, JOHN GLOVER SOCIETY: It must've been like a new Arcadia to him, that he'd come across here. Saw really blue skies for the first time, saw the bush, the gum trees. The...I guess, it's the disarray of the bush - the...nothing was formal in our natural surrounding, and that would have impressed him. And, uh, the way he depicted these things in his paintings, uh, demonstrate that - that he was really intrigued by this new-found land. He was given probably one of the last land grants in Tasmania and that was in 1832 - uh, Mills Plains, which is at the foot of Ben Lomond. I think it's 2,000 to 3,000 acres of land. And he moved up and here and built his house, which is based on Blowick farmhouse in Patterdale in England. And from there, he went on to help develop the farm. And I suspect he spent most of his time actually painting rather than farming - I think his sons were doing the farming, the hard work. But he certainly depicted, in his paintings, that development. If you look at 'Harvest Home', it's based in a very fertile valley near where the house is, and, uh, it was mentioned in correspondence back to London how the harvest was all got in and, uh, that their wheat crop was better than all the neighbours'. And certainly, if you look at the crop on the wagon, it looks very spectacular. And I guess Glover was depicting those type of paintings to let people back in England know that the farm was very successful and he was really farming out here. So it's a record of history in itself, as he demonstrates what the colonial landscape was about when settlement first occurred here. But I don't know that Glover was doing it as part of history. I think he was doing it to depict scenes for the local people that wanted to purchase his art, or that would be appealing if sent back to England. DAVID HANSEN: In some ways, what makes him most important to contemporary Australia is that he deals with two really big issues - uh, the first is reconciliation with Indigenous people. Glover arrived in Van Diemen's Land at the end of the Black War and his images of Tasmanian Aboriginal people are direct and compelling. And he's also an environmental witness. Um, he shows us what the landscape looked like and how European pastoral expansion changed that landscape. So as a witness of colonialism, he's terribly important to a sort of postimperial age. JOHN MILLWOOD: If you look at the artwork and just judge it on its art merits, then it's truly superb. I mean, the... He was, as I said, a great artist. GEORGE NEGUS: Certainly in the same class as Constable and Turner, if you ask me - as much as a simple working wordsmith would know about these things. The extraordinary work there of John Glover, regarded by many as the father of Australian landscape painting.

I'm alive,
I'm free,
But I am not released.
Not yet.
Not until Death,
That great gateway to . . .
The moss of the grave
Is still on me;
I still feel my heart stop at times;
And I must confess
It can still be very hard to breathe,
Though the veil of the grave is off.
I am alive,
And yet am not.
Not yet.
Not until Death,
Tall "D,"
That great gateway to . . .
My joints still creak at times.
I can feel my face coming off.
I'd be a ghastly sight if you could see me.
But don't worry,
I keep covered up.
Even I hate the look of me.
But unlike you,
I have to see what I truly
Every time I bend to drink water
From the stream that winds through
The hellish plain on which I
For now.
One day I won't,
One day I'll go Home
Across the narrow,
Depthless waterway that
Keeps me alive for now.
One day.
Not yet.
Not until Death,
That gateway to . . .
At times I dig myself a grave
And in it lie until
I die
As I did before when I was
At times I cave and let myself give
To the urge,
To the poison,
To those monsters in the earth
That killed me.
But my heart remembers
How to restart
When I die,
My prince pulls me up and
Breathes into me and
My heart beats again and
I see the stars,
The moon,
The earth,
The lover who sees such high worth in such a
Worthless thing as
One day, though,
I'll die no more,
And my prince and I will
Finally live
Our happily ever after.
One day.
Not yet.
Not until Death,
That great and summered gateway to . . .
I cannot tell you.
But one day,
I will see it.
Perhaps you will too.

Consumers more willing to put up with ads than pay for content.
Though digital consumers sometimes bristle at the presence of advertisements, they are much more willing to accept those ads than pay for content. A study by the Yankee Group found that only 31% of smartphone owners and 46% of tablet owners would be willing to pay for even a moderately priced ($0.99 to $2.99) upgrade to an app, while 67% of smartphone owners and 73% of tablet owners would be willing to engage with advertising to view the same content for free.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne, the sixth overall pick in the NFL draft, vows that ongoing contract negotiations won't prevent him from reporting to camp on time.
"I'll patiently wait," Claiborne told the Shreveport Times this week at an appearance in his hometown. "I'm not in no hurry. You hear a lot of talk about people saying I'm holding out. No, I'm not holding out. I'm going to camp signed or not signed. It don''t matter."
Bus Cook, Claiborne's agent, told ESPNDallas.com last week that he didn't know whether the former LSU star would be signed by the time the Cowboys opened training camp.
Eight of the top 10 picks in the draft, including Claiborne, have yet to sign. The primary issue in these negotiations is the offset language of the deals, which addresses whether the team is responsible for the full guaranteed value of the contract if the player is cut and signs with another team. NFL teams typically want any salary the player earns with another team to be subtracted from the amount the drafting team is obligated to pay.

to track the progress of the acacia and the arrival of protective ants, if
nothing else. If you bought one, I imagine there would be at least a few
others who would want to purchase one from you. It is pretty unique.
I read an article on plant intelligence recently. It said a number of
plants send chemical messages when they are under siege by predators to call
for protective "back-up" (a more predatory insect) to come to defend it. It
was pretty fascinating to think that plants could literally call for help,
so to speak.

P.S. It rained most of the weekend and when it wasn't raining, there were
more pressing things to take care of. No "real" gardening took place beyond
dashing out between storms to dead-head some of the plants. We're
considering constructing an arc to rescue Donna!

It's about 98 degrees outside, so I went out and turned the water on
the Buddha's hand and other new plantings that are not under automatic
irrigation. The "hand" is close to the bull's horn acacia [which has
automatic irrigation] and I noticed that ants have discovered the
bull's horn and probably colonized it. That's a good sign. The plant
needs that relationship for protection from other insects.
It also dawned on me [duh] that the horns form at the base of leaves. I
had some misguided idea that they were seed pods. Wonder how long it
takes them to bloom? Wonder if I can grow them from seed? Wonder if I
do, what I'll do with them?
