Malnutrition is a frequent and highly relevant independent risk factor in elderly people with significant clinical consequences. Individual adequate nutritional intervention is based on the established step-wise treatment algorithm where artificial nutrition via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes stands at the end of the therapeutic options. Placement of PEG tubes requires a clear medical indication as well as ethical justification within a critical, individual decision-making process. To our present knowledge, nutrition via PEG is from its character supportive, early, preventive and mainly transient but should not be placed in very old, multimorbid and demented patients. Artificial nutrition with a PEG tube is not a terminal or even a symbolic treatment at the end of human life or in patients with progressive stages of incurable diseases. © Springer-Verlag 2012.

The PEG-dilemma - Pleading for an ethically responsible medical treatment [Das PEG-Dilemma - Plädoyer für ein ethisch verantwortungsbewusstes ärztliches Handeln]
Loser C.,Medizinische Klinik
Aktuelle Ernahrungsmedizin | Year: 2012
Within the 32 years of its existence our attitude towards artificial enteral nutrition via PEG-tubes has changed in a fundamental way: in our modern understanding nutrition via PEG is supportive, early, preventive, and in many cases temporary. PEG-feeding is not an alternative but a possible supplement to normal oral food intake and requires an individual medical indication as well as an ethical justification. This does not follow standardised algorithmic thinking but is decided on an individual base taking personal wishes, resources, and needs of the individual patient into account. Nutrition via PEG-tube is not a terminal basic or even symbolic treatment at the end of life. The present dilemma of the PEG is that the public discussion primarily focus one-sided on the problems of PEG-placement in multimorbid, elderly, and/or demented patients or patients in end-stage tumour diseases where indeed PEG-placement is neither medically nor ethically justified - we still place PEG-tubes to often in the wrong patients! On the other hand we still consider supportive and in many cases temporary nutrition via PEG too rare and even too late in those patients which clearly could benefit from an early, supportive, and preventive PEG-treatment on the base of our present evidence-based scientific knowledge - we still consider PEG-treatment not adequately and in most cases too late in the right patients! Placing a PEG-tube is not the second last step before death and physicians have to accept the ethically given limits of medical treatment by realizing our modern understanding of the benefits and limits of supportive artificial nutrition via PEG. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart .

Management of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation: A flexible approach to treating a complex condition with multiple symptoms
Layer P.,Medizinische Klinik
Expert Review of Gastroenterology and Hepatology | Year: 2013
Irritable bowel syndrome is a heterogeneous disease with a complex underlying pathophysiology and multiple symptoms - that is, clinical manifestation patterns. As such, management of irritable bowel syndrome requires a flexible approach tailored to the individual patient. This article reviews rational, evidence-based management strategy and treatment options for this variable condition. © 2013 Informa UK Ltd. Source
Diverticular bleeding: Diagnostics, non-surgical treatment, indications for surgery [Divertikelblutung: Diagnostik, konservative Therapie, Operationsindikation]
Labenz J.,Medizinische Klinik
Chirurg | Year: 2014
Background: Diverticular bleeding is the most common cause of acute severe lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have not been standardized. Objective: Development of an evidence-based management algorithm. Materials and methods: A systematic search of the literature (PubMed 1998-2013) was carried out and a review with consideration of current guidelines is given. Results: The lifetime risk of clinically relevant bleeding is estimated to be 5 % in persons with colonic diverticula. Patients with clinically suspected diverticular hemorrhage should be admitted to hospital. Diverticular bleeding will cease spontaneously in around 70-90 % of the cases. In patients with severe lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding, defined as instability of the circulation, persistent bleeding after 24 h, drop of the hemoglobin level to ≥ 2 g/dl or the necessity for transfusion, endoscopy of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract within the first 12-24 h is recommended. In patients with active diverticular bleeding or signs of recent hemorrhage (e.g. visible vessel or adherent clot) endoscopic therapy is strongly recommended because it significantly decreases the rate of early and late rebleeding. Angiography with superselective embolization is a therapeutic option in patients where endoscopy failed. Surgery should be considered in patients with ongoing bleeding and failure of interventional treatment and in patients who suffered from recurrent severe diverticular bleeding. Conclusions: Diverticulosis coli remains the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Colonoscopy is recommended as first-line diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In the vast majority of patients diverticular hemorrhage can be readily managed either conventionally or by interventional therapy. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Source

Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics | Year: 2014
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) represents a significant burden to patients and healthcare systems due to its prevalence and lack of successful symptomatic resolution with established treatment options. Linaclotide 290 μg has recently been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for moderate-to-severe IBS-C and by the US Food and Drug Administration for IBS-C (290 μg dose) and for chronic constipation (145 μg dose). Aim: To summarise data leading to the approval of linaclotide for IBS-C, with focus on EMA-pre-specified outcome measures. Methods: Literature search of a peer-review database (PubMed) and review of congress abstracts on linaclotide preclinical and clinical trial data in IBS-C. Results: Preclinical studies suggest that the guanylate cyclase C agonist (GCCA) linaclotide acts through elevation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels, leading to accelerated gastrointestinal (GI) transit through increased fluid secretion and reduced visceral hypersensitivity. Clinical trial data demonstrate that linaclotide improves abdominal symptoms (pain, bloating) and bowel symptoms (constipation) compared with placebo in patients with IBS-C. The most frequent side effect, diarrhoea, results from the therapeutic action of linaclotide. Linaclotide acts locally in the GI tract with minimal systemic exposure, resulting in low oral bioavailability and thus a low risk of relevant systemic adverse effects. Conclusion: Linaclotide, a first-in-class GCCA, is a promising new drug with a novel, dual mechanism of action that, unlike more well-established agents, can relieve the abdominal pain, bloating and constipation associated with IBS-C and has a low propensity for systemic side effects. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers. Genetic factors, such as activating mutations in the KRAS oncogene, play a key role in PDAC initiation. Epidemiologic and experimental data indicate that dietary factors, i.e., diet high in fats and calories (HFCD), accelerate tumor development caused by genetic susceptibility. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Autophagy {macroautophagy) is the principal cellular catabolic pathway in which organelles, e.g., mitochondria, and long-lived proteins are sequestered by autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. The efficiency of autophagic flux is determined by autophagosome formation and lysosomal proteolytic function. Beclin1 protein is critical to autophagosome formation in normal cells. Accumulating evidence indicates that efficient autophagy acts as a bona fide tumor suppressor mechanism, whereas impaired autophagy is a hallmark of cancer cells. The mechanisms of tumor-suppressive function of autophagy are not fully understood;recent studies indicate that a major role of autophagy is to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria overproducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and thus to prevent mutagenic oxidative stress. In this application, we propose a novel mechanism through which HFCD accelerates pancreatic tumorigenesis. Our overall hypothesis is that oncogenic Kras and HFCD act synergistically to impair autophagy and cause mitochondrial dysfunction, in particular, overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In turn, this results in accumulation of mitochondria overproducing ROS and persistent oxidative stress, promoting tumorigenesis. Importantly, the autophagic and mitochondrial dysfunctions reinforce each other, creating a "vicious cycle". Our hypothesis will be tested in 3 Specific Aims.
Aim 1 will determine the effects of oncogenic Kras and HFCD on autophagy and underlying mechanisms.
Aim 2 will determine the effects of oncogenic Kras and HFCD on mitochondrial dysfunction and the underlying mechanisms. In the Aim 3 we will determine the role of impaired autophagy and mitochondrial ROS in tumorigenesis in Kras mice fed HFCD. The proposal will utilize genetically engineered animals, cell culture systems and various biochemical cell biology and microscopy techniques to test the hypotheses.
The project will elucidate the roles of autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunctions in pancreatic tumorigenesis. The results will suggest novel targets for therapeutic interventions to restore autophagy, decrease oxidative stress, and slow down tumorigenesis. The combined effect of dietary and genetic (Kras mutation) factors on autophagy and mitochondrial function has not been studied in any organ, and the results may also be transferable to the effects of HFCD on tumorigenesis in other organs.

By suggesting what level of nutrients are required to provide the best financial return for the farm business.
The manual will help ensure that proper account is taken of both mineral fertilisers and other sources of nutrients such as manures and slurries, so helping to prevent costly over-application.
Deciding the correct amount of nutrient to use along with planning how they are managed and applied, supported where appropriate by specialist advice, are important factors in good nutrient management. This manual sits alongside other government advice and guidance such as the Code of Good Agricultural Practice ("CoGAP") and guidance from the agricultural sector such as "Tried and Tested".

Golden Velvet in Powerful Performance
Beats Tessa Blue in Sixty Sails Handicap
Tessa Blue, under Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, set the pace after breaking sharply from the seven post and reached the quarter in a leisurely 23.97. After getting to the half in an unpressured 48.31 it looked like the even-money favorite might be long gone. But Golden Velvet and jockey Eibar Coa, never more than a few lengths back, hooked Tessa Blue on the far turn and despite lugging through the stretch, Golden Velvet proved to be much the best, in the mile and one-eighth event restricted to fillies and mares 3-years-old and up. The final time was 1:51.30.
"I thought she had an excuse last time (The Rampart Handicap) and she really didn't run her race," said winning jockey Eibar Coa. "I was very confident today and I thought she was the horse to beat. My horse was sharp and I would say my horse was much the best even though she was playing around in the stretch."
The winner was trained by Kiaran McLaughlin and saddled at Hawthorne by his brother Neil McLaughlin.
Mike Smith, having to settle for his second Grade 3 placing on the afternoon, (his mount Fairbanks finished second in the Bill Hartack Memorial Handicap earlier on the card) commented on Tessa Blue immediately following the Sixty Sails, saying "I wanted the lead and I thought I could hold her, but she just wouldn't go on."
Kathleens Reel checked in third beaten more than six lengths by the winner, but more than eight lengths clear of fourth.
Golden Velvet paid $5.80 as the second choice in the wagering.
Hawthorne Race Course's Thoroughbred meet concluded January 13, 2008 and will reopen Friday, March 12, 2008. Hawthorne Race Course is located at 3501 Laramie Avenue, Cicero, IL 60804, gates open daily at 7 am. Call (708) 780-3700 or visit the Web site at www.hawthorneracecourse.com.

Carbon dioxide levels pass symbolic mark
10 May 2013 Last updated at 23:20 BST
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have broken through a symbolic mark.
Daily measurements of CO2 at a US government agency lab on Hawaii have topped 400 parts per million for the first time.
The station, which sits on the Mauna Loa volcano, feeds its numbers into a continuous record of the concentration of the gas stretching back to 1958.
The last time CO2 was regularly above 400ppm was three to five million years ago - before modern humans existed.
Science editor David Shukman explains.

The bigwigs of the media and entertainment industry met to discuss the future of television and the Internet at the beginning of the week. Their concerns are focused on the idea of user-created content and the hundreds of new video sites springing up on the web. The major shift seems to be from "How do we fight it?" to "How can we make money off it?"
This, in the end, might prove to be good for the user. The entertainment industry is going through a loss of control, which is making a lot of executives nervous. They fear being left behind by the technology and losing their gold from piracy. From ZDNet:
"You can't set up too many rules right now… if you don't let them play they will play anyway, so we have to figure out how to monetize it," he (Ted Cohen) said. Rights are a complicated issue, he said, but the rights holders have to have the right "mindset." For example, directors and producers making B-roll and samples available to the masses to mashup, and hoping that MySpace or YouTube users become unsolicited viral marketing agents.
Improved technology has shifted the power to the content; good content is what people want. Even though there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of little sites providing their own content, most of it is pretty bad. The networks have the money and the marketing to offer quality content; they aren't worried about the competition from the user content.
[ADBLOCKHERE]The major advantage of the Internet is the niche market. All the little specialty programs that can't survive on regular TV can find a pretty large audience on the Internet. Think about a cable channel like Discovery; it has about the same number of viewers as a video on MySpace.
In terms of what kind of video content works on the Web, Feikin said, "Come back in a year… the whole revolution is only eight months old. We really don't know what will work. Today it's short form comedy and video content, very PC-based." Down the road, video will spread out to more kinds of mobile devices, and the "whole long tail of content" will open up, she added. At the other end of the tail, the entertainment industry is bring more longer form content, such as TV shows, to the Web.
There isn't any immediate fear that the little people will take over, but it has started them rethinking the traditional models of everything. Again, I think this will only be a positive if crafty lawyers don't think up something that no one has thought of yet.Powered by Sidelines

Thomas Cook is in turmoil.
The high-street travel agent has seen two-thirds of its share price wiped off since the since the start of the year; there have been three profit warnings, and the chief executive has quit. Cheesy television advertisements featuring Jamie and Louise Redknapp have added to the sense that this is a holiday company trapped in a 30-year time warp.
And this is against the backdrop of an industry that has had to cope with erupting volcanoes, revolutions in popular North African destinations, rising fuel prices, and the downturn in consumer spending.
Simon French, a leisure analyst at Panmure Gordon, sums up the situation neatly: "The stock market hates uncertainty and at Thomas Cook there is certainly uncertainty."
Despite the chaos, Thomas Cook this month became the biggest travel agent on the high street, with 1,240 shops, after the Competition Commission approved its acquisition of Co-operative Travel and Midlands Co-op. What's more, Thomas Cook is embarking on a rescue plan that will see its estate spruced up in an effort to woo back customers as high-street travel agents show early signs of revival.
Some experts had predicted that the way through the crisis would be to close hundreds of shops and reduce the network of shops, as more holidaymakers book online. One source close to the business said: "The business should have no more than 600 shops across the UK. Its store portfolio has grown then shrunk over the years after various acquisitions and then disposal programmes. It should definitely shed more stores this time round."
But, instead, Thomas Cook plans to update the stores and consign to history images of staff in polyester suits, and fading brochures lined up on the wall. It is thought that the company is currently looking for consultants to lead this charge.
Nick Batram, an equity analyst in the leisure team at Peel Hunt, says that maintaining significant property is important for the brand. "It is right to have a high-street retail presence. Travel agents are important, and while online is taking market share, a well-located high-street presence is a valuable asset," he says.
Thomas Cook has confirmed it will close 75 shops, particularly where there are geographical overlaps with its new Co-op stores. But the figure could well exceed this if it can close stores where leases are expiring. The travel agency's disposal programme will also include hotels; it has already sold one in Mexico.
But the rationale of the Co-op deal was to increase the retail presence of its products, not massively reduce it. Simon French argues that the shops are stuck in the 1980s and that updating them is the key to attracting holidaymakers. "The presentation of its shops is not appealing," he says. "And if you look at your local Thomas Cook and compare it with TUI's brands Thomson or First Choice, it really looks tired. They still have handwritten cards in the window."
The latest sales figures seem to justify Thomas Cook's focus on its shops. At the end of June, research firm GfK Ascent found that high-street travel agent sales overall had increased by 2 per cent in value, and package holidays were up 1 per cent.
But any review or plan in the pipeline at Thomas Cook could be under threat when a new chief is found. After the three profit warnings this year, chief executive Manny Fontenla-Novoa departed in the summer and his 61-year-old deputy, Sam Weihagen, stepped in as interim boss.
The headhunters might well find someone with a bright strategy of their own for the business, which could lead to a much larger disposal programme for the high-street shops.
There won't just be one major change at the top, though, as a chairman is also needed – Michael Beckett is due to step down at the annual meeting next February.
The gossip is that leisure industry guru Sir David Michels could snare that role. Sir David would be able to draw on a number of different business plans from his stints as Hilton group chief executive, Marks & Spencer deputy chairman, and easyJet board member.
Nick Batram says that a successful disposal programme and a revamped leadership team are musts if Thomas Cook is to revive its flagging fortunes. "The share price has taken a hit but this has been exacerbated by the current stock-market backdrop," he says. "With a shock profit warning, no CEO, and concerns about trading, the share price reaction is not surprising. The next 12 months and beyond will be tough."
The uncertainty at the top and the paltry value of its stock could also leave Thomas Cook vulnerable to takeover. Rumours are already circulating that the company could be of interest to TUI, despite potential competition issues, and to the acquisitive Switzerland-based Kuoni Group.
Another problem for Thomas Cook could be its recent joint venture with Russia's Intourist. It agreed a £29m cash-and-shares deal, but that was before Thomas Cook investors saw their stock devalued. Some analysts question whether this deal will have to be renegotiated.
The main problem area is the UK, but this makes up only 25 per cent of its business and is cushioned by the more successful and profitable German and Scandinavian markets.
Analysts believe that the travel agent must improve its range of products. Mr Batram explains: "TUI Travel has been able to address the demand for shorter duration holidays through greater scale and flexibility, but Thomas Cook appears to have been less successful. Cutting back further on its aircraft fleet without changes elsewhere could further restrict flexibility."
Despite the problems that the company faces, Thomas Cook is still forecast to make more than £300m operating profit this year. As one analyst argues: "There will always be a place for package holidays. But Thomas Cook needs to be flexible and rebuild credibility with investors."
If the company does that, holidaymakers won't just book it. They really will Thomas Cook it.

Have a complaint about your credit card? Get in line. There are at least 5,074 people in front of you.
Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, released information about the types of complaints they've been getting from frustrated credit card holders.
That's right, the credit card complaints that have been going to the CFPB haven't been disappearing down a black hole.
Critics or watchdogs of the CFPB may have wondered because from the moment the government agency--designed to monitor consumer finance products--opened their consumer credit card hotline to the public, inviting them to call in with any complaints about their credit cards, there hasn't been much word on what type of complaints they were receiving.
But as their newly released report reveals, from July 21, the day the agency opened, to Oct. 21, they received 5,074 gripes, annoyances, beefs and so on from consumers (a relatively small number so far, given that there are more than 383 million open credit card accounts, according to the American Bankers Association). The CFPB says they've forwarded 4,254 of those complaints to the credit card issuers, and of those, 74 percent of the problems have been at least partially resolved. In 71 percent of those cases, the consumer reportedly agreed or was satisfied with the results.
"Many complaints show consumers struggling to understand the terms of credit cards and associated products like debt protection services," the CFPB report said. "These complaints show a mismatch between consumer expectations and the way the product functions."
Top 5 consumer credit card beefs
OK, so what were the main gripes?
- Billing disputes (681 cases)
- High interest rates (561)
- Identity theft, fraud and embezzlement (546)
- Unsolicited issuance of a credit card (454)
- Problems in closing or cancelling an account (242)
Following those were complaints about advertising, billing statements (maybe it was the font size), collection practices, credit reporting and fees.
Mortgage hotline now open
Up to now, it's just been credit cards, but eventually, the CFPB will accept complaints about all financial products, from auto loans to checking accounts. In fact, on Dec. 1, the consumer bureau opened their hotline to consumer complaints regarding home mortgages and home equity loans.
No word yet on what type of complaints the mortgage unit has been getting, but it's early yet, and I have to agree with Eileen Ambrose of the Baltimore Sun, who quipped in an article about the CFPB mortgage hotline, "Bet it gets more than 5,074 responses."

In a study hundreds of soldiers from Colchester, Essex, were questioned after months of deployment in Iraq. Researchers found no deterioration in their mental health and actually saw a significant relative improvement in their psychological well-being. The study by a team from King's College London is published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. The researchers analysed questionnaires from 421 members of the Colchester-based 16 Air Assault Brigade. 'High morale' The servicemen and women were questioned before and after taking part in operations in Iraq for around four months. The researchers, led by Dr Jamie Hacker Hughes, analysed the psychological scores of the soldiers and concluded that they revealed "a highly significant relative improvement in mental health". "These findings raise the question of whether military deployment is necessarily bad for psychological health," found the report. The researchers said it was premature to conclude that the Iraq war had already had a serious adverse effect on the mental health of the armed forces. "This study also reminds us that where there are highly selected forces with high morale...participation in war fighting may sometimes not necessarily be as deleterious to psychological well-being as has previously been thought," they concluded. Another study published in the same journal found that adjustment difficulties, rather than combat stress, appeared to be the main causes of psychiatric illness in troops.

The Clinical Core provides the Projects with data from epidemiological, neuropsychological, medical and physical measures. The Core is responsible for obtaining informed consent for participation in the EAS and for participation in the brain donation program. The Core's primary function is characterization of EAS subjects through baseline and annual follow-up clinical and neuropsychological evaluations, including the assignment of cognitive and dementia diagnoses. All subjects undergo an in-person Clinical Core evaluation at baseline and subsequent 12-month intervals. The Core also conducts Consensus Case Conferences to assign clinical cognitive outcomes for each subject at each Wave (annual evaluation). Clinical outcomes assigned include: 1) Diagnosis of DSM-IV 'Dementia'versus 'No Dementia';2) for subjects with dementia, subtypes are diagnoses using standard criteria;and 3) Intermediate States of Cognitive Impairment (amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment, non-amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment). The Clinical Core cooperates with the Administrative Core to collect follow-up medical and neuropsychological information for study subjects no longer able to return for in-person evaluations. Data from the Clinical Core are used to determine subject eligibility for participation in Projects. Finally, the Clinical Core collects, distributes, and banks biological specimens for current and future assays.
The Clinical Core collects epidemiological, neuropsychological and neurological data to service research projects. These data are used to assign diagnoses, to develop other outcome variables, correlate with neuropathologic findings and experimental neuropsychological procedures and locomotor outcomes. The Clinical Core ascertains all the confounders and effect modifiers of dementia risk.

Two years ago, I embedded Assembly Code into something that operated on Terabytes of transaction data. It wasn't stupid.
The person that must maintain your code in the future may disagree with your claim when he or she discovers assembly is involved.

Ok, so we shouldn't force the AI to work at a help desk.
It's very hard to find a millennial-aged person that is not concerned about climate change.
Of course Millennials are concerned about it. Modern school systems and society have basically indoctrinated Millennials in the belief of man-made climate change. Society often considers them to be fools or ignorant for even questioning the belief, instead of encouraging them to ask "why" and search for truths and data that supports or refutes climate change theories. Furthermore, Millennials have never been taught or seen the things that make some of the older people doubt the validity of claims related to global climate change.
The fact that Millennials believe in things related to climate change really has nothing to do with greater acceptance of scientific research. It is just a product of their upbringing.
The modern flight controllers (which I use and love) are like exploit kits for script kiddies.
That is one of the best analogies I have heard regarding to this topic.
If you have never heard of a programming language the company uses, there is a good chance it is not a good language to work with and you should probably stay away. If a business wants you to program in RPG for OS/400 systems, run away.
Some readers may fail to actually read the assignment. But whether you read exactly what the assignment requests or not, the parent is right in his statement that the problem used an overly complex method to teach students.
I had never even heard of a "number line" until a saw the problem shown in your link. After taking a moment, I can see how it could be used to determine an answer. However it is overly complex and takes the students in a direction that shouldn't be used because number lines cannot be used when the student moves beyond basic arithmetic. While the assignment wasn't to create a number line, it was still asking a student to realize what was incorrect with one that was given to them. This means actual students are taught to use number lines when solving basic arithmetic problems, like 427- 316 = 111. Basic arithmetic is a foundation and can typically be carried out in a very simple manner by writing one number over the other and performing the correct action on each column of digits. It is simple and can be used in their future endeavors and studies. Drawing lines with many nodes for 1's, 10's, and 100's cannot be used beyond basic arithmetic problems. Why confuse the students by adding an overly complex method of doing things when they can be taught to write two numbers and calculated the difference in a simple and easy to understand manner?
Second, when children are young and still learning a concept, they should not be shown problems that are incorrect when learning about the concept. Searching for an error and explaining it may allow a person's understanding of a topic to grow if they already understand the subject matter. However, when students are still learning the basic principles of something, they should not be shown incorrect ways of doing things. Lets say a child knows that a problem has one flaw in it, but everything else in the problem is right... just like in this homework assignment. If the child is incorrect in determining which part is flawed and which parts are correct, then the problem could actually reinforce the incorrect way of doing things.
The parent was correct in his rant. If the assignment insists on having a student determine what "Jack" did wrong when solving a math problem with an overly complex method, then the answer is that Jack should just subtract 316 from 427 and should not draw a diagram
Why are you bring the Nobel Prize into the discussion? What does a man-made award have to do with Truth? Science is supposed to be about determining facts and truth. The Nobel Prize is something created by man to recognize what is believed to be a significant achievement. As we learn more about the world, we sometimes learn that our earlier theories are incorrect. It is part of how we expand our knowledge.
Ilguido is correct in stating that "an inaccurate scientific prediction is wrong by definition" and those predictions/theories cannot be used to prove anything. Changing and revising our hypothesis and theories when our observations and experiments do not give the predicted results is part of the scientific method.

Family loses home and two dogs in fire
DEEP RUN, LENOIR COUNTY - A fire leaves a family without their home, and their pets. Firefighters got the call around 8:30 Sunday morning about a two story house on fire.
It happened in Lenoir County, on Rolling Hills Road in the Deep Run area.
Sandy Bottom, South Woods, and Deer Creek Fire Department responded to the scene and stayed at the home until around noon.
Assistant Fire Chief for the Deer Creek Fire Department, Jon Whitfield, said wood chips inside a dog kennel outside the home caught fire from an unplugged heating lamp.
"From the looks of it, the bulb itself was burnt pretty bad and it either fell or came in contact with some of those shavings," Whitfield said.
Neighbor, Cheryl Williams, said this was alarming especially since it was windy the morning of the fire.
"That's the scary part. We're not too close to it, but there are houses next door and it could have spread," Williams said.
The fire mainly burned the outside of the home and the attic. Its deemed a total loss.
Officials said everyone got out okay, except for the family's two dogs. They were inside the home during the fire and didn't make it out.
The family declined to speak on camera, but said they are getting help. Members from the family's church housed them on Sunday.

"The Mean Genes message is optimistic . . . a self-help book for the merely average human being." (The Washington Post Book World)"An unusual cross between a social Darwinist monograph and a self-help manual." (The New Yorker)Why do we want-and do-so many things that are bad for us? In Mean Genes Terry Burnham and Jay Phelan argue that we need to stop looking to Sigmund Freud for answers and start looking to Charles Darwin. Mean Genes reveals that our struggles for self-improvement are, in fact, battles against our own genes-genes that helped our distant ancestors flourish, but are selfish and out of place in the modern world. Using this evolutionary lens, Mean Genes brilliantly examines the issues that most affect our lives-body image, money, addiction, violence, and relationships, friendship, love, and fidelity-and offers steps to help us lead more satisfying lives.
Jay Phelan, Ph.D., is a biology professor at UCLA. His main area of research is evolutionary genetics and aging.

Re: Camera in low light purple tint
The HTC One had this issue. It's a light leak into the lens. Hardware issue. I would get it replaced.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am the appellate in a civil case . I wrote my opening brief , the respondents submitted their brief and I wrote an appellate reply brief . The Defendants are now requesting this 5 minutes of argument time . I live in Massachusetts , the trial was in California . I do not have money available to attend this argument if it is granted . Do I get a copy of this so that I can reply to their argument ? Thank you for responding
No. Oral argument to an appellate court is voluntary for the parties unless requested by the court. That hardly ever happens. In fact, the courts often encourage parties to waive oral argument and there is chronic debate within the appellate bar as to whether oral argument has much impact in most cases.
In all events, the court will not hold open the argument stage of the appeal pending transcription of the opposing party's argument, review of that by you, and the submission of a response argument by you. All that is what the briefing was for.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.
Thank you Christine for all your help.
Appearing at the oral argument is your opportunity to "reply". Once oral argument takes place the matter will then be taken under submission and a decision made. You do not get an opportunity to reply to the oral argument by submission of a written reply. The defendant's request for oral argument will not be denied. If you can't afford to come here for the oral argument, why not hire an appellate attorney for the limited purpose of appearing at the oral argument.

VA Health Care:
Access for Chattanooga-Area Veterans Needs Improvement
GAO-04-162: Published: Jan 30, 2004. Publicly Released: Jan 30, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Veterans residing in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have had difficulty accessing Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care. In response, VA has acted to reduce travel times to medical facilities and waiting times for appointments with primary and specialty care physicians. Recently, VA released a draft national plan for restructuring its health care system as part of a planning initiative known as Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services (CARES). GAO was asked to assess Chattanooga-area veterans' access to inpatient hospital and outpatient primary and specialty care against VA's guidelines for travel times and appointment waiting times and to determine how the draft CARES plan would affect Chattanooga-area veterans' access to such care.
Almost all (99 percent) of the 16,379 enrolled veterans in the 18-county Chattanooga area, as of September 2001, faced travel times that exceeded VA's guidelines for accessing inpatient hospital care. During fiscal year 2002, only a few Chattanooga-area veterans were admitted to non-VA hospitals in Chattanooga--constituting about 5 percent of inpatient workload. In addition, over half (8,400) of Chattanooga-area enrolled veterans faced travel times that exceeded VA's 30-minute guideline for outpatient primary care. Also, waiting times for scheduling initial outpatient primary and specialty care appointments frequently exceeded VA's 30-day guideline. VA's draft CARES plan would shorten travel times for some Chattanooga-area veterans but lengthen travel times for others. Under the plan, the amount of inpatient care VA purchases from non-VA hospitals in Chattanooga would increase from 5 percent to 29 percent, thereby reducing those veterans' travel times to within VA's guidelines. The plan also proposes to shift some inpatient workload from VA's Murfreesboro hospital to its Nashville hospital. As a result, an estimated 54 percent of inpatient workload for Chattanooga-area enrolled veterans will be provided in Nashville compared to 40 percent in fiscal year 2002, thereby lengthening some veterans' travel times by about 20 minutes. The plan also proposes opening four new community-based clinics, which would bring about 2,700 more Chattanooga-area enrolled veterans within VA's 30-minute travel guideline for primary care, leaving about 5,700 enrolled veterans with travel times for such care that exceed VA's guideline. These clinics likely would not open before fiscal year 2011, given priorities specified in the plan.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As part of its review of Chattanooga-area veterans' access to VA health care, GAO recommended that when deliberating CARES decisions, the Secretary explore improving these veterans' access to inpatient and outpatient care. In addition to expediting the opening of two outpatient clinics in the Chattanooga area (which GAO noted last year in accomplishment report GAO-04-3265A), VA now purchases selected inpatient services from local providers and is explore expanding these purchases. Also, VA considered, but decided not to purchase primary care for those Chattanooga-area veterans whose travel times would remain outaide VA guidelines, despite the opening of new VA outpatient clinics.
Recommendation: As part of his deliberations concerning whether additional access improvements for Chattanooga-area veterans beyond those contained in the draft CARES plan are warranted, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should explore alternatives such as (1) purchasing inpatient care locally for a larger proportion of Chattanooga-area veterans' workload, particularly focusing on those veterans who may experience longer travel times as a result of the proposed shift of inpatient workload from Murfreesboro to Nashville; (2) expediting the opening of the four proposed community-based clinics; and (3) providing primary care locally for more of those veterans whose access will remain outside VA's travel guideline, despite the opening of the four clinics.

The past month has been hard on Laureene Furnari.
She had to move out of her home and put her stuff in storage.
She had to split her family apart. The 50-year-old mother of two is now staying with a friend. Her 11-year-old daughter is living with a family member, and her 20-year-old son is sleeping at a buddy's house while trying to find a job.
Money is tight, which made Saturday amazing.
She was among 2,000 Las Vegas families given $500 U.S. Bank gift cards in a gymnasium at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Las Vegas.
The cards, a result of a $1 million donation to United Way of Southern Nevada from an anonymous Las Vegas casino owner, were delivered to people the United Way and its partner programs determined needed it most.
The cards can be used for anything. As soon as the backs are signed, the plastic becomes as good as cash.
It is the second time the same anonymous person has made a million-dollar United Way donation. The first came in December.
The only thing that changed this time was the donor's nickname, Summer Santa instead of Secret Santa.
The donor and United Way wanted the gift cards to be a surprise. Workers sent letters and made phone calls, inviting families to come to the gym. The families were told they would receive something, but they never knew exactly what.
Some found out early.
Tyler Griffin, 10, said a worker from his school told him he would get a gift card when they got to the gym. That gave him some time to think about what he wanted to buy.
"Video games!" he said after jumping up and throwing his hands above his head.
"Shoes," his dad corrected him.
For others, like Furnari, the card remained a surprise until she tore back the flap of a white envelope.
In a parking lot outside the gym, she expressed gratitude for a stranger's generosity.
"God bless him," she said. "Whoever he is."
Then tears started building behind her glasses as she explained how the gift card will help her find another place - the first step in putting her family back together.
"We can feel like a normal family again," Furnari said.

Avoiding Politics by Nina Eliasoph
Book DescriptionNina Eliasoph's vivid portrait of American civic life reveals an intriguing culture of political avoidance. Despite the importance for democracy of open-ended political conversation among ordinary citizens, many Americans try hard to avoid appearing to care about politics. To discover how, where and why Americans create this culture of avoidance, the author accompanied suburban volunteers, activists, and recreation club members for over two years, listening to them talk - and avoid talking - about the wider world, together and in encounters with government, media, and corporate authorities. She shows how citizens create and express ideas in everyday life, contrasting their privately expressed convictions with their lack of public political engagement. Her book challenges received ideas about culture, power and democracy, while exposing the hard work of producing apathy.

Dear Hosta-Open Ohioans,
I'm heading to Ohio on the last day of the AHS National Convention, June 20 (right after the last visitor leaves!) and will be there for a week. I am strongly considering making two trips--one to see Peter Ruh place in Chesterfield, and one to the Holden Arboretum which is nearby where we are staying (Punderson Manor, for those that know the area).
I'd like to find an Arboretum near Newbury, OH that offers Hostas and a Japanese Garden. I've been to the Chicago Botannical Gardens and was quite impressed with their 353 acres. The Holden Arboretum seems promising, and they have 1400 Acres, but when I asked them about a Hosta Garden, the customer service rep had to think a moment as to whether they had a Hosta display garden.
Maybe I'll be all Hosta'ed out by then (is that even possible?), but if someone has some tips for what to see, I'm all ears.
Incidentally, I already know I should see Van Wade's and am strongly considering a trip to Belleview.
Andrew - in Des Moines, where we are frequently reminded of the wisdom of Marvin Lemke's axiom; "The faintest label is better than the most retentive mind". Caio.
