Acute respiratory failure due to hemothorax after posterior correction surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a case report
Orthopedics and biomechanics
Although posterior correction and fusion surgery using pedicle screws carries the risk of vascular injury, a massive postoperative hemothorax in a patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is quite rare. We here report a case of a 12-year-old girl with AIS who developed a massive postoperative hemothorax.
Case presentation
The patient had a double thoracic curve with Cobb angles of 63° at T2-7 and 54° at T7-12. Posterior correction and fusion surgery was performed using a segmental pedicle screw construct placed between T2 and T12. Although the patient's respiration was stable during the surgery, 20 minutes after removing the trachea tube, the patient's pulse oximetry oxygen saturation suddenly decreased to 80%. A contrast CT scan showed a massive left hemothorax, and a drainage tube was quickly inserted into the chest. The patient was re-intubated and a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O applied, which successfully stopped the bleeding. The patient was extubated 4 days after surgery without incident. Based on contrast CT scans, it was suspected that the hemothorax was caused by damage to the intercostal arteries or branches during pedicle probing on the concave side of the upper thoracic curve. Extensive post-surgical blood tests, echograms, and CT and MRI radiographs did not detect coagulopathy, pulmonary or vascular malformation, or any other possible causative factors.
This case underscores the potential risk of massive hemothorax related to thoracic pedicle screw placement, and illustrates that for this serious complication, respiratory management with positive airway pressure, along with a chest drainage tube, can be an effective treatment option.
Hemothorax is usually related to chest trauma or to medical procedures such as central venous line insertion, thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, or intrathoracic surgeries that can injure lung parenchyma or intrathoracic vessels such as the intercostal or internal mammary arteries and their branches
Hemothorax may be caused by surgical procedures such as releasing the pleurae from the vertebrae, or the removal and curettage of intervertebral discs and cartilage end plates. The placing of pedicle screws in the course of posterior correction and fusion surgery carries a risk of vascular injury. However, the occurrence of hemothorax associated with corrective surgery is as low as 0.1%
Here we report the case of a patient with AIS who developed a massive hemothorax after posterior correction and fusion surgery using a pedicle screw construct. The hemothorax induced acute respiratory failure and required the insertion of a chest drainage tube.
Case presentation
A 12-year-old girl with progressive trunk deformity was referred to our department. She had been diagnosed with AIS at 11 years old, and had started brace treatment. A full time underarm type brace was applied before surgery. The Cobb angles before brace treatment were 36° at T2-7 and 35° at T7-12. The curves were corrected to 31° and 27° with the correction rate of 15% and 22%, respectively after application of the brace. Because the deformity progressed in spite of the brace treatment, she was referred to our department to undergo surgical treatment. Physical examination found a prominent rib hump on the right side, and her right shoulder was slightly elevated. There were no abnormalities in her extremities or neurological examination. The patient weighed 31.8 kg (−1.20 SD), with a height of 132.5 cm (−2.37 SD).
Radiographs showed scoliosis of 63° at T2-7 and 54° at T7-12, and kyphosis of 25° at T5-12 (Figure
Figure 1
Standing x-rays
Standing x-rays. Standing x-rays show scoliosis of 63° at T2-7 and 54° at T7-12, and kyphosis of 25° at T5-12.
The patient underwent posterior correction and fusion surgery with a segmental pedicle screw construct at T2-12. After the posterior elements of the thoracic spine were meticulously exposed, pedicle screws were placed segmentally using a ball-tip probe technique
Figure 2
Postoperative x-rays
Postoperative x-rays. Postoperative x-rays show that the scoliosis was surgically corrected to 10° and 18°, with correction rates of 84% and 67%, respectively.
The patient's respiratory status was stable during the surgery. After confirming 100% SpO2, the patient was extubated without incident. A chest x-ray taken just before extubation was normal. However, within 20 minutes after removing the tube, SpO2 dramatically decreased to 80% even though the patient was placed on 100% oxygen. A chest x-ray taken 25 minutes after surgery showed massive opacification in the left thorax (Figure
Figure 3
A chest x-ray taken 20 minutes after extubation
A chest x-ray taken 20 minutes after extubation. A chest x-ray film taken twenty minutes after extubation shows a massive hemothorax in the left lung field.
Figure 4
A postoperative chest CT image
A postoperative chest CT image. A postoperative CT image of the chest shows a massive hemothorax in the left pleural space.
Since the patient's SpO2 remained as low as 80-85% even with oxygen treatment, a drainage tube was inserted in the chest 110 minutes after surgery, and 400 ml blood was drained. To prevent additional hemorrhage, an intubation tube was inserted again, and then 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure was applied, which stopped blood drainage from the chest. The tracheal and drainage tubes were removed four days after surgery. There were no signs of dyspnea or deteriorating SpO2 after extubation, even though the patient was no longer on oxygen. Chest CT images taken one week after surgery showed no pleural effusion. The pulmonary function showed 88% of % vital capacity (%VC) and 95% of % predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (%FEV1.0) two years after surgery.
Postoperative hemothorax is quite rare in posterior correction and fusion surgery for AIS. A systematic review of 1666 AIS patients who underwent posterior surgery using pedicle screw constructs identified only one hemothorax after surgery
To our knowledge, this is the first recorded case of an AIS patient who developed acute respiratory failure due to massive hemorrhage in the pleural space after posterior surgery with a pedicle screw construct, and who required the insertion of a drainage tube in the chest. Postoperative hemothorax appears to be more common in scoliosis associated with muscle dystrophy than in AIS. Modi et al. attributed this to spinal osteoporosis in patients with muscle dystrophy, which increases the risk of the vertebral body's lateral and anterior cortical walls being breached while probing the pedicle and inserting pedicle screws
It was suspected that the hemothorax in our patient was caused by damage to a segmental vessel when probing the pedicle on the convex side of the proximal thoracic curve, since contrast CT images showed the hematoma pushing the lung away from the vertebrae in this area. Anatomically, the internal mammary arteries and their branches supply the anterior part of the pleurae, while the intercostal arteries and their branches supply the posterior part of the pleurae along each rib (Figure
Figure 5
Vascular anatomy at the pleurae
Vascular anatomy at the pleurae. Left Intercostal Arteries (ICAs), which branch directly from the aorta, supply the posterior part of the pleurae along each rib. Pedicle probing may have injured the left ICAs, which run near the vertebrae.
The hemothorax appeared on a chest x-ray taken twenty minutes after extubation. Bleeding from vessels injured during pedicle probing might have been suppressed during surgery by the positive airway pressure maintained by ventilation. After extubation, the negative intrathoracic pressure introduced by spontaneous inspiration might have allowed the injured vessel to start bleeding. The positive end-expiratory pressure, 5 cmH2O, that we used in this case is the standard pressure used to keep the lung from collapsing at the end-expiratory phase
In a previous report of hemothorax after surgery to implant a cardiac pace maker, this method was reported to be effective for initially managing hemothorax if vital signs are stable
This case illustrates that placing thoracic pedicle screws carries a risk of massive hemothorax that may become apparent after extubation, and confirms the effective use of re-intubation with positive end-expiratory pressure, along with chest drainage, to treat this serious complication.
Written informed consent was obtained from the parents of the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review from the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

Giant Hill is a rare card from the Epidemic set of .hack//ENEMY.
Tips and StrategiesEdit
Giant Hill is a powerful weapon that's useful in any elemental deck (especially an earth-based one). Its cost isn't too difficult to pay, and in the rare case that eight same-element cards can be spotted when this card is brought into play, it can destroy the enemy grunty, something that can't be easily done. Since most grunties need same-element cards for food, it's actually easier to activate Giant Hill's effect the stronger the enemy grunty is.

A Full Torso or Full-Torsoed is a descriptor for entities that are ghosts and display more visible appendages than in common manifestations.
Ray Stantz used the term Full Torso when he guessed about the classification of the Library ghost based on 10 eye witness reports coming in from the New York City Public Library - a Free Floating Full Torso Vaporous Apparition.
Taken from Ghostbusters Role-Playing GameEdit
Some ghosts have full torsos, some have arms and legs, some have no head and the like. Full torso apparitions are relatively rare - many haunting are indistinct below the chest.
Taken from Ghostbusters: The Video GameEdit
An entity that has no lower body.

Cute packaging and fast delivery.
Anonymous on Dec 20, 2010
These cards are beautiful. They are the perfect size and have a great weight and feel to the paper. I've already used all of them. Need to restock.
Molly in a nutshell, help I'm in a nutshell!
I originally wanted to go to art school to meet boys.
Obviously my thought process is totally flawless. I had a dream of getting a degree in graphic design and then working at a record label in the art department and then falling in love with a bass player with shaggy hair. That was the dream, the dream I tell you!
I graduated from art school in 2006 and did briefly work at a record label but there was a staggering lack of shaggy haired boys, the pay wasn't great either. I soon took a job with a design firm that focused on sustainable design and had a great love affair with that company for a few years. At that point the economy wasn't great and I was eventually laid off. I started Rabbit Foot Fern first as just a blog and a way to talk about design and focus my visual thoughts. I purchased a gocco which is a small print making device and started making stationery just for fun. A friend mentioned that I should do a little craft fair and see if anything I make will sell. I sold out of almost everything and my line was picked up by the Museum of Folk and Craft art gift shop. It was what they call an "ah-ha" moment.
I tried to grow my little side business at every chance. I built up a freelance business while working a full time job. I started regularly doing local craft fairs and partnered with wedding planners to provide custom wedding invitations. I was able to leave my full time job three years later. Since then I graduated to using letterpress even though I still have my gocco packed up in my closet, I can't bear to let it go!
Now I run my business from a spare bedroom in my Oakland home. We currently thrive on a few wholesale accounts in San Francisco, Oklahoma and Oregon. Our walls are a collage of inspiration and projects, some half done. I always start the day with a specific record. I come into the studio, put my coffee down (I might also be in whatever I slept in) and put on an album. Recently it's been a lot of David Bowie. It really helps to sit down and answer a ton of emails if you have the proper inspiration to get it done. I know that after this pile I can sit and draw for a few hours so he helps motivate.
A friend of ours once said "you're not a maker, you're a cutesmith". First thing I was totally touched because it was just a really nice thing to say and second, I couldn't agree more. My bottom line is that I want to make cute things. Sure, the second might be that I want them to be a little creepy but the cuteness is always my number one priority.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, under pressure from his tea party rival in Nevada's Senate race, has released a statement saying he thinks "the mosque should be built someplace else."
Washington Post:
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Jim Manley, Reid came out against the building of the Islamic center.
"The First Amendment protects freedom of religion," Manley wrote in an e-mail. "Senator Reid respects that, but thinks that the mosque should be built someplace else."

Benjamin Whiting, Esq. of Hollis (1772 to 1775)
Original Deputy Sheriffs: John Holland, Robert Reed, Samuel
Cunningham, Samuel Atkinson, Daniel Farnsworth and James
Wilson. Sheriff Whiting was a loyal subject of the King of
England as were most government officials at the time. As the
political climate changed he was brought up on charges of,
" acting against the best interest of his country"
by a committee of revolutionary colonists. He was convicted
without being present and his property and land were
confiscated. He took his family and fled to England never to
return to America.
2. Moses
Kelley, Esq. of Goffstown (1775 to 1808)
At thirty-three years, Sheriff Kelley of Goffstown has the
distinction of being the longest serving sheriff in county
history. He owned a tavern and was a prominent local supporter
of the "Sons of Liberty". He was a selectman and
town moderator in Goffstown and was also a delegate to the
county congress during the Revolutionary War. During the war
he attained the rank of Colonel. Kelley Falls in Goffstown and
Kelley St. in Manchester were both dedicated in his honor. His
home is still standing and is the oldest house in the
Pinardville section of Goffstown.
Benjamin Pierce of Hillsboro (1809 to 1813)
Sheriff Pierce served in the Revolutionary War from 1775
until 1784. He fought at Bunker Hill (1775), Saratoga (1777)
and survived Valley Forge (1777-1778). Originally, from
Chelmsford, Mass. he moved to Hillsboro after the war where he
organized and commanded the Hillsborough County Militia from
1786-1807 rising to the rank of Brigadier General. He served
in the N.H. Legislature from 1789-1802, a delegate to the
state constitutional convention in 1791,was a member of the
governor's council 1803-1809 and 1814-1818. He was governor of
New Hampshire in 1827 and 1829. In 1832 he was a Democratic
presidential elector. He was the father of Franklin Pierce the
14th President of the United States.
4. Israel W. Kelly (1814 to 1818)
Benjamin Pierce of Hillsboro (1818 to 1827)
He is one of only two men to hold the Office of Sheriff on
two separate occasions. Sheriff Pierce also had the
responsibility of carrying out a death sentence, by hanging,
on a man named Daniel Farmer for the murder of a widow named
Anna Ayer of Goffstown around 1821.
6. Jacob Whittemore (1828 to 1836)
7. Frederick G. Stark (1836 to 1842)
8. Mace Moulton (1842 to 1844)
9. Elijah Monroe (1844 to 1856)
10. Charles P. Danforth (1856 to 1862)
11. Daniel L. Stevens (1862 to 1866)
Charles Scott of Peterborough (1866 to 1874)
He served a combined eighteen years as sheriff. Sheriff
Scott was also Peterborough town moderator for over twenty

also a state senator for two years and was a judge in a local
police court for five years.
13. Thomas P. Pierce (1874 to 1876)
Charles Scott (1876 to 1886)
Sheriff Scott is only the second sheriff to serve two
separate terms. In 1877 the state legislature added county
sheriff and county solicitor (attorney) to the list of county
officials that were to be elected by the public, making
Sheriff Scott the first elected sheriff in county history.
15. Daniel
F. Healey (1886 to 1898)
He was also a Colonel from the Civil War. A new High
Sheriff badge was given to him on January 1, 1890. This badge

Fredrick K. Ramsey of Manchester (1906 to 1914)
In 1911 the state legislature expanded the authority of the
10 county sheriffs to give then state wide power not just in
their respective counties as it states in the N.H.
constitution. This change came about because of the invention
of the automobile and the need to keep up with local
18. George
L. Stearns of Manchester (1914 to 1918)
Sheriff Stearns was a deputy collector for the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service for thirteen years before being
elected county sheriff.
19. John
T. O'Dowd of Manchester (1918 to 1929)
He was a Manchester police officer for twenty-nine years,
retiring in 1917 as a sergeant. He previously worked for the
Manchester Fire Department for about seven years. He ran and
lost a bitter campaign for sheriff in 1916 against Sheriff
Stearns but finally beat him in 1918. Sheriff O'Dowd was a
delegate to the Democratic conventions of 1924 and 1928. He
was the sheriff until 1928 when he supported his son Richard
to succeed him as sheriff. He then became the county
jailer/deputy from 1930 until 1938. He was also a delegate to
the constitutional convention of 1930.
Richard "Mac" O'Dowd of Manchester (1929 to 1944)
He was the son of John T. O'Dowd. Richard was a deputy
sheriff from 1919 until 1929. In 1931 Sheriff O'Dowd enforced
a court order out of Rockingham County to close down the
Rockingham Race Track for illegal gambling. Sheriff Spinney
(Rockingham County) was grateful the court had asked Sheriff
O'Dowd to enforce this order since the track was quite popular
with the people of Rockingham County. Sheriff O'Dowd resigned
office to take a job with the N.H. Racing Commission. Later he
was hired at the track and soon was its' general manager. Gov.
Meldrim Thompson gave the eulogy at Sheriff O'Dowd's funeral
in the early 1970's.
21. John
L. Spillane of Nashua (1944)
He was a deputy sheriff under Sheriff O'Dowd who was
appointed "Commissioner to Perform Duties of the
Sheriff" in early 1944 until the election of a new

O'Brien for a couple of years before retiring.
22. Thomas
F. O'Brien of Manchester (1945 to 1969)
Sheriff O'Brien held office for twenty-four years, which
makes him the second longest serving sheriff in county
history. He was a deputy sheriff from 1930-1938 and served as
county jailer from 1938 to 1944. While he was sheriff he lived
in the wardens' quarters at the county jail in Manchester.
During one election cycle he received the most write-in votes
of any candidate in the state, which was a state record at
that time. He didn't run for reelection in November of 1968.
Lawrence Shea of Manchester (1969 to 1981)
He was a lieutenant with the Manchester Police Department
when he retired and ran for sheriff. Sheriff Shea also lived
in the wardens' quarters at the county jail. During his term
the legislature passed a law to create a separate county
department of corrections for all ten counties. The Sheriffs
officially gave up control of their county jails at that time.
24. James
F. O'Flynn of Peterborough (1981 to 1984)
Sheriff O'Flynn helped put the Sheriff's Office on a
professional track when he got the county to get rid of the
"fee system"** for deputy sheriff's serving civil
process. He appointed full-time New Hampshire Police Academy
certified deputy sheriffs to fill positions in the office. He
also appointed the first female court officer in the county's
history to work at the Hillsborough County Superior Court in
Manchester. Sheriff O'Flynn established the Hillsborough
County Special Officers Certification School in 1982 in
cooperation with the N.H. Police Standards & Training
Council, the Hillsborough County Attorney and the Goffstown
Police Department. During his watch in 1983 a deputy sheriff
shot and wounded a state prison inmate trying to escape
custody. The N.H. Attorney General declared the shooting to be
justified. In late 1984 Sheriff O'Flynn was forced to resign
do to charges of criminal wrongdoing related to his
re-election campaign.
25. Donald

27. Walter
A. Morse of Hillsboro (1993 to 2003)
Sheriff Morse is a retired New Hampshire State Police
Captain. Under his administration the office has become a much
more involved and visible partner in the law enforcement
community. Except for the Criminal Division deputies, all
deputies wear full uniforms and drive marked vehicles. In the
past eight years deputies from the office have become involved

text: HILARY RUSSPROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) ¿ Resorts and other summer businesses across the country are getting swamped with applications from out-of-work Americans, competing for jobs usually filled by young people and foreigners. Six months ago, Ramon Villanueva was earning $50,000 a year at a Philadelphia company that rents out sound systems and video projectors. But he got laid off in the fall, and now he is making $8 an hour operating the amusement park game on the Seaside Heights boardwalk at the Jersey shore. "I never really thought I'd be working here," Villanueva, a 22-year-old with a wife and two children, said Thursday. "I thought I'd be a customer here." All over the country, as unemployment rises, U.S. workers like Villanueva are lowering their expectations. "The demographics of this year's summer work force is going to change into more well-educated, semi-retired, people in crunches, people happy to be employed," said Patty Ceglio Bishoff, director of operations for CoolWorks.com, an online bulletin board that helps people find summer jobs in scenic areas.

Internet safety education for youth: stakeholder perspectives
Health behavior, health promotion and society
Internet use is nearly ubiquitous among US youth; risks to internet use include cyberbullying, privacy violations and unwanted solicitation. Internet safety education may prevent these negative consequences; however, it is unclear at what age this education should begin and what group is responsible for teaching this topic.
Surveys were distributed to key stakeholders in youth safety education including public school teachers, clinicians, parents and adolescents. Surveys assessed age at which internet safety education should begin, as well as experiences teaching and learning internet safety. Surveys of adults assessed willingness to teach internet safety. Finally, participants were asked to identify a group whose primary responsibility it should be to teach internet safety.
A total of 356 participants completed the survey (93.4% response rate), including 77 teachers, 111 clinicians, 72 parents and 96 adolescents. Stakeholders felt the optimal mean age to begin teaching internet safety was 7.2 years (SD = 2.5), range 2-15. Internet safety was regularly taught by some teachers (20.8%), few clinicians (2.6%) and many parents (40.3%). The majority of teachers, clinicians and parents were willing to teach internet safety, but all groups surveyed identified parents as having primary responsibility for teaching this topic.
Findings suggest agreement among key stakeholders for teaching internet safety at a young age, and for identifying parents as primary teachers of this topic. Clinicians have a unique opportunity to support parents by providing resources, guidance and support.
While the internet has provided adolescents with numerous benefits, including increased social support, academic enrichment and worldwide cross-cultural interactions, there are concomitant risks to internet use
Internet safety is highly salient for today's youth as they spend up to 10 hours a day using various forms of media
An ideal approach for teaching internet safety would likely involve a person or group who could reach most children in order to provide widespread dissemination of this knowledge. An ideal candidate would also have experience teaching about the internet or related safety issues, and be willing to invest in teaching this topic. Given that most US youth and adolescents attend public school, a first possibility is public school teachers. However, it is unclear at what grades and in which school subjects this material could be integrated into existing curricula. A second possibility is child health providers such as pediatricians or family medicine physicians. The AAP social media report argues that "pediatricians are in a unique position" to provide internet safety education
The purpose of this study was to investigate views of key stakeholders on internet safety education, including school teachers, clinicians who see children and adolescents, parents of adolescents, and adolescents themselves. Our goals were to investigate at what age internet safety education should begin, and to identify a primary candidate to teach this topic.
This study was conducted between July 1, 2009 and August 15, 2011 and received IRB approval from the University of Wisconsin Human Subjects Committee.
Setting and subjects
Participants in this study included public school teachers, health care providers who see children and adolescents, parents of adolescents, and adolescents themselves. School teachers were recruited from a summer continuing education conference within a public school district. This district includes 4 elementary schools, one middle and one high school. Inclusion criteria limited participants to teachers who taught kindergarten through 12th grade within that public school district. Clinicians were recruited at a yearly regional continuing medical education conference; inclusion criteria limited participants to physicians (MDs and DOs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and nurses, all of whose practice included pediatric patients. Parents of adolescents were identified within a large general pediatric practice that includes 8 pediatric providers. Inclusion criteria for parents were that they had a child between the ages of 11 and 18 years. Adolescents (ages 11-18 years) were identified and recruited within this same large general pediatric practice. Most parents and teens were recruited as dyads. We did not exclude parents or teens who elected to participate in the study separately because we did not compare data between parents and teens.
Data collection and recruitment
In each recruitment setting, potentially eligible participants were approached by a research assistant. After explaining the study and obtaining consent, participants completed a paper survey. Survey respondents were provided a $5 gift card as compensation.
Survey design
The goals of the survey were to understand at what age internet safety education should begin, explore the experiences of adult participants in teaching online safety or the adolescents learning about this topic, and to identify a group who has primary responsibility for teaching this topic. Thus, we included all potential survey participants in the survey design process. Surveys were designed after a review of the literature and conversations with a panel of physicians, parents and researchers. Questions were pilot-tested first with a panel and then among teachers and adolescents. In the final survey items some words were modified to make the survey clear to all groups of participants. For example, among health care provider groups the question: "For how many years have you been in practice?" was changed for teacher groups to read: "For how many years have you been teaching?"

Data sources and variables
Participants provided demographic data including gender and age. Teachers were asked to disclose the grade levels they taught, subjects taught and years of teaching experience. Clinicians were asked to provide their training background (i.e. MD, NP), field of practice (Pediatrics, Family Practice) and years in practice. Parents provided their age, gender and the ages of their children. Adolescents were asked for their age, gender and grade in school.
Age to begin teaching internet safety
Teachers, clinicians, parents and adolescents were asked to provide at what age internet safety education should begin. An "other" option was presented for write-in answers.
Candidates to teach internet safety
In order to identify potential candidates to teach internet safety, participants were asked about previous experiences teaching or learning about internet safety. Then participants were asked for their own willingness to teach this subject and to identify an ideal primary candidate to teach this topic.
Experiences teaching internet safety
To describe experiences in providing internet safety education, teachers were asked how frequently they had ever taught internet safety education. Clinicians were asked how frequently they had ever counseled patients on this topic. Answer options included regularly, sometimes, never and never but plan to do so soon. Parents were asked about how frequently they talked with their child about internet safety: regularly, sometimes, never and never but plan to do so soon (Table
Adolescents' experiences learning about internet safety
Adolescents were asked ways in which they had learned about internet safety. A list of answer options was developed through review of the literature and the web and then piloted with several adolescents to ensure completeness. Answer options included learning from friends, siblings, parents, teachers and clinicians as well as learning by self-teaching. A write-in "other" option was also provided. Adolescents were allowed to choose all applicable answers from this list.
Willingness to teach internet safety
Teachers were asked whether or not they supported teaching internet safety education in public schools. Health care providers were asked whether or not they supported teaching internet safety education in provider offices (yes or no).
All groups, including teachers, clinicians, parents and adolescents were asked to select a candidate group whom they felt had primary responsibility for teaching internet safety to children and adolescents. Based on a review of current groups engaged in teaching this subject, answer options included churches, community groups, health care providers, law enforcement, parents and teachers. An "other" option was presented for write-in answers.
All statistical data analyses were conducted using STATA version 11.0 (Statacorp, College Station, TX). Descriptive statistics were calculated for survey responses. ANOVA was used to compare mean age to begin teaching between teachers, clinicians, parents and adolescents. Logistic regression was used to assess whether experience teaching internet safety was associated with years of career experience.
A total of 356 participants completed the survey (93.4% response rate), including 77 teachers, 111 clinicians, 72 parents and 96 adolescents. Teachers had an average of 14.8 (SD = 8.4) years of teaching experience. The subjects that teachers taught included: health, social studies, language arts/English, special education, health and technology/computer skills. Clinicians included 68 (61.3%) physicians, 16 (14.4%) nurse practitioners, 15 (13.5%) physician assistants and 8 (7.2%) nurses. Their practice background was mainly pediatrics (61.3%) and family practice (27.9%). Clinicians' years of experience averaged 14.5 (SD = 10.1). Parents were 81% female. Adolescents were 62.5% female and had an average age of 15.1 (SD = 2.3). Please see Table
Age to begin teaching internet safety
The overall mean age at which stakeholders indicated for starting to teach internet safety was 7.2 years (SD = 2.5), range 2-15. Teachers reported that the average age at which internet safety should be taught was 6.9 years (SD = 2.1), while clinicians felt the average age to start teaching this topic should be 7.3 years (SD = 2.4). Parents felt that internet safety education should begin at age 6.6 years (SD = 2.3). There were no statistically significant differences between these groups regarding age to begin teaching internet safety (p = .2). Adolescents reported that internet safety education should begin at age 8.7 years (SD = 2.4). Please see Figure

Candidates to teach internet safety
Experiences teaching internet safety
Among teachers, 16 (20.8%) reported currently teaching internet safety, 51 (66.2%) had never taught it, and 4 (7.8%) had never taught it but planned to soon. The number of years teaching was not significantly associated with the likelihood to have taught internet safety.
Among clinicians, 3.6% regularly and 55% sometimes counseled patients on internet safety. One-third of clinicians (33.3%) had never counseled or taught patients about internet safety and a few clinicians (8.1%) had no experience with this but planned to begin soon. The number of years in practice was not associated with the likelihood to have taught internet safety (p = .6).
All parents reported discussing online safety with their children either sometimes (58.3%) or regularly (40.3%).
Experiences learning internet safety
Adolescents were asked to identify ways in which they had learned about online safety. Adolescents were permitted to select all options that applied. Adolescents selected people including teachers (87.5%), parents (75%), friends (41.7%), siblings (27.1%) and clinicians (11.5%). Some adolescents indicated that they had learned internet safety by being self-taught (27.5%).
Willingness to teach internet safety
Teachers uniformly reported supporting online safety education in public schools (100%). Clinicians almost uniformly supported providing online safety education in clinicians' offices (99.1%).
All groups selected parents as the primary candidate to teach internet safety. Among teachers, 97% ranked parents as their first choice candidate, and 3% ranked teachers as first choice. Among clinicians 97% ranked parents as first choice candidate, and 3% ranked teachers as first choice. Among parents, 96% ranked themselves as first choice candidate, and 4% ranked teachers as first choice. Among adolescents, there was more variety in answers. Most adolescents (74.7%) ranked parents as first choice candidate, 13.8% ranked teachers as first choice, 5.7% ranked law enforcement as first choice, 1.5% ranked community as first choice, 3% ranked churches as first choice and 3% wrote in answers of making a movie related to online safety and making a powerpoint regarding online safety.
The results of this study illustrate several key points regarding promoting safe internet use among youth. Findings suggest general agreement among key stakeholders for teaching internet safety at a young age, and for identifying parents as primary teachers of this topic.
First, our findings regarding the suggested age to begin teaching online safety may seem younger than expected. The suggested age range of 6 to 8 years identified by participants suggests that internet safety education could begin in early grade school, around 1st or 2nd grade. However, given our current society's focus on technology, it is likely that children are being introduced to computers at ever-younger ages. Data from 2010 suggests that almost 20% of 8 to 10 year olds spend time on social networking sites daily, in the past three years it seems likely that this percentage has grown
Second, our findings include a general agreement among key stakeholders that parents should hold the primary responsibility for internet safety education. These findings are supported by a recent study in which teachers felt that parents should have the primary role in teaching this topic
Finally, our findings suggest that parents are willing teachers in providing internet safety education, and that many report some experience in this area. However, while parents may be candidates to guide their children's digital lives, some parents may feel underprepared for the task of instructing their children who have grown up as "digital natives." Thus, health care providers and public health educators may have an unique opportunity to support parents by providing resources, guidance and support. Pediatricians who see adolescent patients have the opportunity to serve an important and perhaps familiar role. As with many other topics of health supervision including safety, nutrition and fitness, parents are the primary source of education for their children. However, in many of these health topics, clinicians and health educators are trusted sources for parents on how to talk with their children about these issues. Some child health providers may feel untrained or unprepared to answer questions about internet safety or cyberbullying given that these are relatively recent health concerns about which much remains unknown. Pediatricians can use American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines to recommend parental supervision of internet activities, decreasing or eliminating isolated screen time (ie, moving the computer to a public space), and having open discussions about the potential dangers of electronic media
Limitations to this study include the regional focus of our data collection. Our study aimed to draw representation of populations of teachers, clinicians, parents and adolescents within our region, the excellent response rates and distribution of participants within each category support that our results are generalizable within our region. However, there are other groups who may engage in teaching internet safety that were not included in this study such as churches and community groups. Second, it is notable that our study did not provide data on what methods would be best to provide internet safety education, this is a logical next step for future study. Third, we did not specify in the context of this study whether online safety should include additional technologies such as cell phones or texting. Fourth, data was collected by self-report, thus recall bias or overestimation of experience or willingness could have impacted our findings. Based on the varied stakeholders included in this study, there was some variation in data collected from each group.
Technology is now an integral part of life, and thus, part of the health of our patients. Our findings illustrate consensus around several groups with experience and investment in working with children and adolescents that parents should have primary responsibility for teaching internet safety. Our study highlights an opportunity for pediatricians to play a collaborative role with parents, patients and teachers to address the critical topics towards improving internet safety. Given the importance of this topic for today's youth, it is likely that collaborative efforts are needed to provide consistent education about safety in the digital world.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas and new year!
Welcome to my messy life! I am lucky to live in a beautiful little Wisconsin village with the hubby I grew up with (we married at 16 & 17!). We have 3 lovely grown daughters, sons-in-laws, 6 adored grandkids and countless extended family and friends. By day I'm an administrative supervisor where I'm fortunate to work with some of the best people in the world. I turn into a pumpkin immediately upon coming home at night and therefore cannot leave my beloved cinders before duty calls the next morning. Our house is usually crazy with a parade of characters coming, going, and sometimes staying. There's never a shortage of people to love or things to organize and share.
I enjoy reading and writing, organizing, holding babies, drooling over grandkids, cooking, creating, homemaking, finding old 50 cent things, flowers, the very holiness of living, and simple poetry you don't forget. I love happy greens, like the worn green velvet on my art room chairs. It beautifully catches the colorful, mundane, and sticky stuff of life: coffee, glitter, ice cream, glue, and cat hair too.
Thank you for visiting! Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com.

Sunday, December 1 marks the expiration of the SEC-enforced 25 day quiet period on underwriter research after Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR)'s November 6 IPO. The conclusion of the quiet period will permit the firm's extensive list of underwriters to unleash research reports into the market, likely leading to at least a brief increase in the price of TWTR shares.
Twitter's IPO beat its expected price range of $23-$25 per share at $26 per share, and posted an unsurprising first day return of 72.7% driven by a low-balled expected range and potent name recognition; the price of TWTR has since held steady between $39.40 per share and $50.09 per share. See our prior article.
Twitter's IPO underwriters will attempt to capitalize on the firm's widely-known brand with the release of mountains of positive information to the public at the conclusion of the quiet period. Twitter's huge roster of underwriters includes JP Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co, Allen & Company LLC, BofA Merrill Lynch, Code Advisors LLC, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
The past two years of our research have empirically evidenced a correlation between the quality and number of firms underwriting an IPO and the corresponding increase in share prices at the expiration of the quiet period. Several academic studies also support our thesis.
Studies by Professor Bradley for example have shown that:
"Initiated firms experience a five-day abnormal return of 4.1% for firms with coverage. The abnormal returns are concentrated in the days just before the quiet period expires". See this link for full study.
Since the increase in price generally begins to accelerate a few days in advance of close of the quiet period, as experienced investors realize that the underwriters will only release positive information about a firm that they recently underwrote. These advance buys create the perception of increased demand and place upward pressure on stock prices.
Over the past few weeks, we have experienced positive results to our former holdings in Western Refining (NYSE:WNRL), Plains Holdings (NYSE:PAGP) and Essent Group (NYSE:ESNT) for example from this quiet period expiration strategy. See recent articles here and here.
Twitter operates the well-known short-form social network that limits its users' posts to 140 characters, and is used both by individuals and organizations ranging from professional sports teams to the White House-a well-read (and politically correct) Twitter is considered critical from a modern PR standpoint. The firm has attracted an impressive 100 million daily active users and 230 million monthly active users worldwide; some 500 million Tweets are posted per day. However, Twitter is losing tremendous amounts of money, even for a firm that is still ostensibly in its growth phase; between the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the firm's revenue showed a dramatic increase of 106% to $422.2 million, while net losses exploded to $133.9 million, a shocking 89% increase. Nonetheless, the firm continues to reward its executives with huge compensation packages, as detailed below.
Given the high and increasing losses that Twitter has experienced, CEO Richard Costolo's total compensation in excess of $11.5 million for 2012 seems more than a little ridiculous; additionally, President of Global Revenue Adam Bain's total compensation reached $6.7 million and Senior Vice President of Engineering Christopher Fry saw total compensation of $10.3 million. These outsized compensation packages lend credence to rumors of a poor corporate culture.
We view the upcoming Twitter quiet period expiration as a near term positive opportunity for aggressive traders.
The firm may still be overvalued at this point, and has been bolstered primarily by name recognition and growth prospects, meaning that the research reports released at the end of the quiet period will likely be widely read and have a significant but very temporary impact.
Until the firm's value has more firmly settled, we don't think that it makes sense as a long-term portfolio addition.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Tennessee attorneys are citing Obergefell v. Hodges in an effort to spare their clients
A motion filed last month by the Federal Public Defender's office argues that post-conviction proceedings in the case of death row inmate Charles Wright should be reopened because Wright's death sentence violates his constitutional rights.
In service of that argument, the motion cites 2 recent Supreme Court cases. The 1st seems obvious enough. It is Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent in last year's Glossip v. Gross, which strayed from the specific issue at hand - Oklahoma's lethal injection protocol - to address the death penalty more broadly, concluding that its imposition is cruel and unusual and, thus, unconstitutional. The 2nd case cited in the motion comes, on the surface at least, as more of a surprise - it is Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that led to the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide last year.
The motion in Wright's case is 1 of 8 the Federal Public Defender's office has filed in the Middle District citing Obergefell, and more have been filed elsewhere in the state on behalf of death row inmates. Kelley Henry, a supervising assistant federal public defender, tells the Scene she worried observers might think that, by citing Obergefell, the office was trying to be too cute by half. But that's not it, she says. The motions, she says, bring together the issues raised in the dissents to the Glossip decision with the test used in Obergefell to determine if a state is violating a person's fundamental constitutional right. "Their paradigm for analyzing fundamental, constitutional rights in Obergefell, for us, highlighted the fact that the Supreme Court really hasn't taken a look at the death penalty, which impinges on a fundamental right to life," she says. "And when you use the paradigm of Obergefell and you apply it to our client and you look at that in light of Glossip, you see the unconstitutionality of the death penalty."
Wright was sentenced to death in 1985 after he was convicted of killing two men during the course of a drug deal in North Nashville. The motion to reopen post-conviction proceedings in his case details, among other things, a troubled childhood that neither the sentencing jury nor the post-conviction judge were made aware of. Wright, the motion says, was 1 of 10 children born to a severely alcoholic mother by six different fathers. The children would regularly be left to beg for food in the streets and Wright would miss more than 50 days in three of his first four school years. Later, the motion says, he would fall into chronic drug addiction and a psychologist who evaluated him before his trial found that he had an IQ between 75 and 85.
With repeated reference to Glossip, the motion argues that Wright's death sentence is unreliable and that it violates his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. It goes on to cite Obergefell which "holds that no state may deny a fundamental right, may not deny human dignity, may not impose stigma and demean persons by denying the exercise of a fundamental right, and may not diminish the personhood of individuals."
Later on, the motion argues that the death penalty does each of those things:
The very principles and holding identified and applied by the Supreme Court in Obergefell make perfectly clear that the death penalty is unconstitutional here. Even more than the right to marry, the right to life is a fundamental right - as it is the very foundation of human personhood. It is the very foundation of human dignity. Just as no state can deny the fundamental right to marry, a fortiori, no state can deny the fundamental right to life, which is the fundamental human right and provides the predicate for the exercise of all other rights. Under Obergefell and the Fourteenth Amendment, the death sentence must be struck down here. In fact, every single factor identified by the Supreme Court in Obergefell applies to Charles Wright's right to life, making denial of his fundamental right to life through the death penalty unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment and Tennessee Constitution:
(1) Mr. Wright's right to life is a right "so fundamental that the State must accord [it] respect." Obergefell, 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2598.
(2) His right to life "is inherent in the concept of individual autonomy" (id. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2599), for without the right to life, there is no personal autonomy whatsoever.
(3) His right to life thus must be accorded fundamental "dignity." Id.
(4) The state law designed to take Charles Wright's life serves to "harm and humiliate" him and his child. Id., 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2601.
(5) The state law which seeks to take his life also teaches not simply that he is "unequal in important respects" but that he is unequal in all respects to all other persons: He has no right to live, while others do. Id., 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2602.
(6) Needless to say, a law that tells and demonstrates that Mr. Wright is not worthy of life itself serves to "demean[]" him in the eyes of all.. Id.
(7) No less than the states' laws regarding marriage, the death penalty law which Tennessee seeks to apply to Charles Wright "impose[s] stigma and injury of the kind prohibited by our basic charter." Id.
(8) It would not simply "diminish the[] personhood" of Mr. Wright to take his life, but it would completely deny him his "personhood" to take his life, and therefore it is unconstitutional to deny him his very personhood. Id.
(9) The death penalty "burdens a right of fundamental importance" - the right to life - and therefore cannot stand. Id., 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2603.
(10) Because, under the Tennessee death penalty law which the state seeks to apply here, Charles Wright would absolutely be "barred from exercising a fundamental right" and "abridge[s] fundamental rights" (id., 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2604) - namely the fundamental right to life - the Tennessee death penalty statute and the death penalty here should be struck down, exactly as occurred in Obergefell.
In sum, Mr. Wright "ask[s] for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," and the "Constitution grants [him] that right." Id., 576 U.S. at ___, 135 S.Ct. at 2608. Just as numerous state laws were struck down in Obergefell because they barred individuals from the exercise of a fundamental right, the death penalty here must likewise be struck down, as it unconstitutionally denies Charles Wright the exercise of the fundamental right protected by our Constitution - the fundamental right to life.
Wright is one of 64 people - 63 men and 1 woman - currently on Tennessee's death row. In February of 2014, the state set execution dates for 10 men, including Wright, but the has since put all executions on hold amid legal challenges to its death penalty protocols.
