Imaging Services at Middlesex Hospital
Throughout Middlesex Health System, all of our radiology imaging staff members have been trained to provide exceptional customer service and compassionate care in a safe, efficient and professional environment.
Radiology Imaging Services Include:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce two- and three-dimensional images of the inside of the body. MRI can be used to evaluate any part of the body, in order to diagnose internal injuries or conditions, or to monitor effects of medications and treatments.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
MRA is a study of the blood vessels using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRA produces very detailed two- and three-dimensional images of the blood vessels and other parts of the body by using radio waves in a strong magnetic field instead of using x-rays.
Ultrasound Imaging Services
Also called a sonogram, ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to examine internal organs in the abdomen, producing real-time images of soft tissue and capturing movement of internal organs. If a Doppler ultrasound is done, the doctor is able to see blood flow in major blood vessels.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive material, either injected into a vein in the arm, inhaled or swallowed, to diagnose and treat disease. By using a gamma camera to detect emitted radiation, and a computer, images are produced that can determine cellular and organ function as well as structure. Common tests and treatments in Nuclear Medicine:
Brain Scans
Brain scans are done for people who have had a stroke or who have severe headaches, seizures or other related conditions. Nuclear brain scans can reveal problems such as tumors, aneurysms (ballooning of an artery) and hydrocephalus (water on the brain).
Cardiac (heart) Scans
Cardiac (heart) scans can be used to detect heart attacks, and study the heart's motion at rest and under stress.
Lung Ventilation Scans
Lung ventilation scans can help detect blood clots and other problems by showing how well air is distributed inside the lungs.
Lung Perfusion Scans
Lung perfusion scans (or lung blood supply scans) show blood flow patterns within the lungs.
Gallbladder and Liver Scans
Gallbladder and liver scans help detect cirrhosis, hepatitis, cysts and other conditions. The gallbladder helps the body digest fat. This organ sometimes develops painful stones.
Renal (kidney) Scans
Renal (kidney) scans can detect kidney tumors, cysts, obstructions and other problems. Nuclear scans give information about the structure and function of the kidneys.
Bone Scans
Bone scans may detect bone tumors, breaks, arthritis and other conditions.
CT Scan
Computed Tomography (CT Scan) also referred to as Computer Aided Tomography (CAT Scan) combines x-rays and computers to image the body. Just about any body part can be imaged (abdomen and pelvis, chest, brain, blood vessels, neck) and typically CT scans are done to look for injuries, tumors, stones, and other disease. A x-ray unit inside a shallow, donut shaped machine produces x-rays, which are collected on the other side of the machine to create cross-sectional image of the body part being examined.
Sometimes radiographic contrast or "x-ray dye" may be needed to better visualize the body part being examined. The dye is injected into a vein in the arm to "highlight" blood vessels and other vascular structures within the body. For CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, oral contrast called barium may be given at least one hour prior to the scan to highlight the stomach and intestinal tract.
Indications for CT Scan Imaging Services include:
Abdomen and Pelvis
A CT scan can evaluate for liver disease, jaundice, abdominal pain, and can determine whether cancer has spread from another part of the body. The scan can look for and bleeding in the liver and/or spleen. CT can evaluate inflammation of the pancreas and gallbladder, look for diverticulitis, polyps, and for abscess or infection. A doctor may order a CT for hematuria (blood in the urine), difficult/painful urination, bloody stools, changes in bowel habits, chronic/acute abdominal pain and/or fever, appendicitis, enlarged lymph nodes, evaluate for aneurysm, evaluate blood vessels of upper/lower extremities and head/neck for narrowing or blockage.
A CT scan can evaluate for pneumonia, lung nodules and/or masses, evaluate for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) such as emphysema, evaluate for aneurysm or stenosis (narrowing), chronic cough, fever, chest pain, to evaluate for blood clots within the blood vessels of the lungs.
Head and Neck
CT scan is commonly used to evaluate the brain for stroke and intracranial bleeding (hemorrhage). It can evaluate for brain and neck masses, look at the blood vessels in the brain and neck, and evaluate for skull and cervical (neck) spine fractures.
Extremities and Spine
CT scan can be used to evaluate any bony anatomy and look for fracture in just about any part of the body, from the top of the skull to the base of the feet, including the entire spine and pelvis, the face and any extremities (arms and legs).
CT scan can also be used to evaluate for disc herniations (slipped and torn discs in the back and neck).
Biopsy and /or Drainage
A CT scan can be used to guide a needle or catheter to the area of the body being examined. An Interventional Radiologist, who is a specially trained doctor that can accurately obtain a sample of tissue or fluid for laboratory analysis, performs this procedure.
CTA or (Computed Tomography Angiography)
A CT scan performed specifically to evaluate the blood vessels. It is a less invasive alternative to conventional angiography and involves no sedation. It involves to administration of "x-ray dye" through a vein in the arm, and can image to brain, neck, chest, abdomen/pelvis, and extremities.
A CT scan performed to evaluate the colon or large intestine. This is a less invasive radiology imaging alternative to conventional colonoscopy involving no sedation. Is primarily performed to evaluate for polyps and diverticulitis.
A procedure to widen a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. A catheter is inserted into a vein or artery at the groin. The catheter is maneuvered under x-ray to the affected blood vessel and then a balloon at the end of the catheter is pumped up until the blood vessel is open allowing normal blood flow.
PICC Line Placement (or Radiographic Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter)
An intravenous access line inserted into a vein in the arm for infusion of medications, feedings or drawing blood.
Vertebroplasty is to correct an acute collapse of spinal vertebrae. Under x-ray control a needle is inserted into the collapsed vertebrae and then a cement mixture is injected to stabilize the fracture.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization
A catheter is inserted into a vein or artery at the groin. The catheter is maneuvered under x-ray to the blood vessel that feeds the fibroid and then either a gel foam, particles or coils are inserted to cut off the blood flow to the fibroid.
Venous Access Port (Portacath)
A catheter is placed under the skin of the left or right arm. The tip of the catheter is placed in a large central vein called the Superior Vena Cava. The Passport is used for long-term injection of medications or chemotherapy and can be in place for 2 to 3 years.
Dialysis Catheterization Placement and Management
A catheter is placed under the skin of the neck into the jugular vein. The tip of the catheter is placed in a large central vein in the chest and the external tip can then be hooked up to a dialysis machine for treatment of renal failure.
The removal of a sample of tissue or cells from the body for examination. A pathologist usually does the examination of the tissue or cells. The tissue or cells are generally examined under a microscope to determine the presence of any abnormality.
Fluid is removed from an organ or body cavity and then tested.
Needle aspiration
A needle is inserted into a lump, and fluid and/or tissue is removed for examination.
Open biopsy
An incision is made into the breast, and a piece of tissue or the entire lump is removed for examination. Performed by a surgeon in an operating suite.

Futures waver as US earnings season rolls on
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are fluctuating after another record week for U.S. markets.
Dow Jones industrial futures are down 6 points to 15,491. S&P futures have lost a point to 1,752.90. Nasdaq futures are up less than a point to 3,374.25.
A strong quarterly earnings performance from U.S. corporations pushed the S&P to record highs and the Nasdaq to 13 year highs last week.
Futures had been heading solidly higher Monday, but began to waver after the drugmaker Merck said its profit had plunged 35 percent because of generic competition.
And many industry watchers expect Apple to report once again that its earnings are sliding when it posts quarterly results after the closing bell. That would mean the third consecutive quarter of falling profit for Apple.

The Grand County Middle School and Grand County High School teams competed in their first Quiz Bowl tournament of the season last Thursday, March 7, at Price. The GCMS team won both the varsity and junior varsity divisions, thereby qualifying for nationals, according to GCMS coach Mike Estenson.
The GCMS varsity team, consisting of captain Jayelen Knowles and teammates Tobin Wainer, Grace Osusky, Tyler Moreau, and Aidan Guzman-Newton, went 4-1 during the tournament. Their only loss came against Mont Harmon in the first final game. Since it was the Thunderbirds' first loss in the double-elimination tournament, the two teams faced each other again, with Grand Middle winning the rematch and taking home the first-place trophy.
In the junior varsity division, the middle school team went 4-0 en route to the championship. JV team members for GCMS were captain Bjorn Nicoliesen, Deklynd Chant, Taylor Brewer, Aushea Lore and Payton Webb.
Interestingly, both GCMS teams played to a tie on one of the rounds, and received the same tiebreaker question in their respective games (the varsity and JV brackets used the same sets of questions, as the tournaments were held in different rooms).
"The sudden death question asked which of the original 13 colonies was most susceptible to British invasion because of its geographical isolation and low population. Tobin Wainer for varsity and Taylor Brewer for JV both got the correct answer, which was Georgia," Estenson said.
A team of freshmen from Grand County High School also participated at last week's tournament, but the GCHS ninth-graders were beaten by their younger counterparts from GCMS in both brackets. Competing for GCHS were Cody Jones, Sammy Hansen, Annie Heywood, River Murdock, Austin Aubry, Josh LaRance and Vance Petitti.
This week, on Thursday, March 14, Grand's middle and high school teams will host a Quiz Bowl event at Grand County High School. The tournament is set to begin at 10 a.m. in the GCHS auditorium and band room.

Woman who lost husband to cancer now helps families with similar experiences
Cindy Bartlett of rural Pequot Lakes is realizing her dream of owning a bed and breakfast in the woods. But the dream took a definite twist she never envisioned.
After living a fast-paced life with a demanding job in the Twin Cities for more than 20 years, Cindy and her husband of 28 years, Steve, bought 25 acres of woodland between Nisswa and Pequot Lakes with a plan to build a bed and breakfast. They realized that goal in October 2008 when Mystic Views Bed & Breakfast opened.
Just three months later, on Dec. 31, Steve was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at age 48. He died a year and a half later, in August 2010, at age 50.
"I had to figure out what to do. I was determined to grow the bed and breakfast and see if I could get a sustainable business," Cindy said, noting she had never so much as mowed grass before. "Determination has taught me a lot."
Now, the Bartletts' two-suite bed and breakfast attracts people celebrating anniversaries and honeymoons, as well as couples, girlfriend retreats and even hunters. Cindy Bartlett is known for the elegant breakfasts she leaves outside each room on a cart in the mornings.
But there's more to the peaceful, secluded home with warm wood floors and a scenic view of Omen Lake and various wildlife.
Bartlett thought of other families dealing with cancer treatments and wanted to give adults with cancer and their loved ones respite time at her bed and breakfast as a gift. She did research online, and two years later obtained non-profit status with Priceless 4 Purpose-The Steve Bartlett Cancer Non-Profit Organization. Her guests through the non-profit must meet certain criteria, and the first arrived last May. Since then Bartlett has had eight other guests with cancer.
"Every one of them has such a story," she said.
One couple had been married for 38 years and never had a honeymoon. The wife was diagnosed with cancer. A 36-year-old mother was diagnosed with cancer when her only child was just 10 months old. A man with esophageal cancer has stayed at Mystic Views.
"I've pretty much kept in touch with all of them ever since," Bartlett said.
It's an example of how much of Cindy's and Steve's lives went full circle. After suffering a nearly fatal water-ski accident on Pelican Lake at age 13, Steve later became a physical therapy assistant at the same Twin Cities hospital where he was taken as a teenager. He worked with trauma patients. Eventually he became a massage therapist at the Hubert Humphrey Cancer Center. After moving to the lakes area, Steve worked in physical therapy at the Pine River Good Samaritan Home for a short time before his cancer diagnosis.
"It makes me feel good to use this place like Steve helping people going through trauma. I always told Steve I wanted a feel-good job. I kind of feel like that's what this whole thing has turned into," Cindy said.
"People need to take time in life to make memories," she added. "Once a person is gone, that's all you have are the memories."
Cindy is more than happy to provide that moment where memories are made.
"It's been a lot of good," she said. "It fills my gap."
Her goal is to grow the non-profit to be able to offer people who stay at Mystic Views various activities, like a pontoon boat ride, guided fishing trip or dog sled ride.
Steve's life's lesson was to positively impact people's lives as they are going through difficult times. Cindy and the couple's sons created Priceless 4 Purpose to honor Steve and to keep his legacy living by continuing his life's work of positive influence on lives.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.—Ephesians 6:12
In the early days, when Christianity exercised a dominant influence over American thinking, men and women conceived the world to be a battleground. Our fathers believed in sin and the devil and hell as constituting one force, and they believed in God and righteousness and heaven as the other. By their very nature, these forces were opposed to each other forever in deep, grave, irreconcilable hostility. Humans, our fathers held, had to choose sides-they could not be neutral. For them it must be life or death, heaven or hell, and if they chose to come out on God's side they could expect open war with God's enemies. The fight would be real and deadly and would last as long as life continued here below. People looked forward to heaven as a return from the wars, a laying down of the sword to enjoy in peace the home prepared for them....
How different today. The fact remains the same, but the interpretation has changed completely. People think of the world, not as a battleground, but as a playground. We are not here to fight; we are here to frolic. We are not in a foreign land; we are at home. We are not getting ready to live, but we are already living, and the best we can do is rid ourselves of our inhibitions and our frustrations and live this life to the full. This World: Playground or Battleground?, 4-5.
"Lord, we've lost too much by becoming friendly with the enemy. Help me to be willing to take a stand for righteousness, to choose clearly to be on Your side against the enemy, to pay any price—and then to look forward to laying down my sword later in heaven. Amen."

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 14 February 2012—The Website for Small Libraries project, which began as an OCLC Innovation Lab experiment in 2011, is now available as a beta service for any library wishing to set up its own website.
By participating in the project, libraries will be able to quickly and easily set up a website that provides basic functionality for making small collection information available on the Web, setting up users, checking materials in and out, placing holds, and providing library contact, location, service and event information.
"The goal of the Website for Small Libraries project was easily stated, but not so easily realized," said Mike Teets, OCLC Vice President, Innovation. "We wanted small libraries with collections of 20,000 items or less to be able to have a simple, inexpensive yet functional presence on the Web."
Four South Dakota libraries, as well as the South Dakota State Library, were part of the project's pilot. "Many of our libraries have a staff of just one or two, and small budgets," said Dan Siebersma, South Dakota State Librarian. "A product that makes it easy for these libraries to have a website with a minimum amount of effort and at a low cost is very desirable. The inventory feature that would allow people to access a library's collection from the comfort of their home is the icing on the cake."
In order to make the site as easy to use as possible, the site relies on simple editing of predefined templates to populate the Web presence. It can take just a few minutes to have a library site up and available to patrons on the Web, as well as on mobile and tablet devices. The service uses a set of wizards to import collection and user information in a wide variety of formats. It uses statistical algorithms and WorldCat to determine structure and field contents to ease the import processes. Complexity is kept to a minimum by focusing on the minimum fields necessary to make collections accessible.
Tip House, Chief Architect, Global Infrastructure for OCLC, and one of the lead programmers on the project, explained the basic features: "Libraries can provide and promote basic information about their locations, content, events and services using a set of easily updated templates and widgets. Users can create an account, search for materials, place and delete holds, and see their history. It is, essentially, a very basic inventory model for libraries."
Mr. Teets stressed that this is not a full-featured library management service, but an option for those small libraries that have not been able to take advantage of traditional library systems due to size, cost or technological restrictions.
"If a library already has an ILS, this will not replicate that kind of system. It's not meant to," said Mr. Teets. "Our research suggested that as many as half of the libraries with one or two employees had, essentially, no Web presence. This project hopes to positively impact those libraries and their users."
"WebJunction has worked with small and rural libraries since its inception," said Jennifer Peterson, WebJunction Community Manager. "Many of these libraries don't have the time, money or technical background to implement a full-scale, online management service. This project will enable them to reach their users on the Web in an entirely new way. And because the sites are optimized to run well on mobile devices, they'll be able to connect to users for whom the mobile Internet is now the main way of getting online."
"We hope this is a useful, affordable option for small libraries that want to establish a Web-based connection to their communities," said Mr. Teets.
Libraries interested in signing up can do so at http://beta.worldcat.org/lib/. Participation in the project costs $500 per year and comes with a 90-day trial period. Libraries are free to import and export their collection and patron data as they try the service, as well as through the product life.
State library organizations, consortia and other library groups interested in group rates should contact their OCLC Library Services consultant.

Allakhazam Editor-in-Chief Andrew "Tamat" Beegle had the opportunity at BlizzCon to speak exclusively with the cast of the hit webisode sitcom "The Guild," which follows the lives of the group's members both online and off.
Before you read any further, head on over to www.watchtheguild.com and watch an episode or two (or go crazy and watch all 10) of season one. That way, you'll truly understand the cast's excitement for season two, which, according to creator Felicia Day, is scheduled to launch in mid-November.
Are you all caught up? Good. Andrew spoke with Felicia Day (Codex, healer), Vincent Caso (Bladezz, rogue/thief), Robin Thorsen (Clara, mage), and Sandeep Parikh (Zaboo, warlock) about the upcoming season, their impressions of BlizzCon and their other projects, all while discovering that the cast has a great sense of humor.
The video of the interview can be found after the jump.
According to Day, the cast is in the middle of shooting the second season. "We just finished episode four, which is exciting. We started shooting because BlizzCon was approaching, and we told the guys at Blizzard, who are awesome, that we would have a rough cut of an episode," she said.
Day said they literally edited together a rough copy of the first episode of season two the night before they left for the convention as a special preview for their fans. The episode could still undergo changes before the launch in mid-November.
Since the episodes clock in at around four to six minutes long, the cast was careful to avoid spoilers for the upcoming season. Caso said that Bladezz won't have any scandals this time around and will just be laying low for awhile. Day replied that all of the characters will be getting a bit of storyline.
Also, for more information on season two, you can read Allakhazam's coverage of a panel the cast held at the convention on our BlizzCon wiki.
The cast added that the attendees at BlizzCon have shown them a lot of support with long lines at their booth to purchase the DVD and merchandise, but they did mention most gamers were there for the latest news on World of Warcraft, Diablo III and StarCraft II.
You can see many of these actors and actresses on the small screen in various shows. Day told Andrew she will have a recurring role on the show "Roommates" on ABC Family, which starts in February 2009. Parikh is the creator of The Legend of Neil, a webisode series on Comedy Central. While Parikh told Andrew he expects the show to be renewed for a second season, a recent message on the show's Web site is asking for fans to spread the word and rewatch the episodes to show Comedy Central that fans want more.
While the second season of The Legend of Neil is up in the air right now, season two of The Guild is a certainty. Watch and rewatch the first season at www.watchtheguild.com to prepare!

Courtesy Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - Wheaton College freshmen Eric Driscoll and Josh Solomon each had a goal and an assist as the regionally-ranked Lyons men's soccer team downed MIT, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Keefe Field.
The Lyons, who are sixth in this week's National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) New England poll, improved to 6-2-2 overall and 2-0-0 in the league. Wheaton notched its second straight shutout in extending its home unbeaten streak against NEWMAC teams to 19 games. MIT, which is tied for 10th in the regional poll, is now 3-2-1 and 0-1-1.
Wheaton nearly broke on the board in the fourth minute, but freshman David Ferriero's early strike hit the crossbar. Late in the frame, Driscoll did finally snap the deadlock. With 10 seconds left, first-year Jake Wagner sent a long throw-in toward the net, and the ball squirted free to the top of the box, where Driscoll connected and drove a hard shot home with two seconds left. It was his first collegiate marker.
In the second half, MIT threatened during the 54th minute, but junior Andrew Bishara's corner kick was punched out of the box by freshman keeper Cole Davidson. Nearly two minutes later, Solomon sent home his sixth goal at 56:12 off a Driscoll feed. Just 28 seconds after that, Solomon hit a ball over the defense that sent Ferriero in alone on the keeper. Ferriero buried his third tally of the year into the right side.
The Cardinal and Gray had another opportunity to get on the board in the 71st minute, but Bishara's free kick just missed the frame by a foot to the right.
The Blue and White finished with advantages of 19-6 in shots and 7-2 in corners, while Davidson made one save for his first collegiate win and shutout. Junior Tom Caldwell stopped five shots for the Engineers.
Tech will play host to non-conference opponent Emmanuel College for the first time ever on Monday, Sept. 24 at 4:00 p.m. Wheaton will also host its next match, as Roger Williams University will travel to Norton, Mass., on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 4:00 p.m.

text: The Smallest Show on Earth is a gentle, frequently uproarious takeoff of Britain's neighborhood-cinema industry. Real-life husband and wife Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna star as Matt and Jean Spencer, a middle-class couple who inherit a decrepit movie house in a tiny railroad whistle stop. They also inherit the theater's ancient, doddering employees: bibulous ticket-taker Percy Quill (Peter Sellers), former silent-movie accompanist Mrs. Fazackalee (Margaret Rutherford) and doorman/janitor old Tom (Bernard Miles). Making the best of things, the Spencers set up shop going through the usual travails of small-time cinema owners: substandard projection and sound reproduction, a dismal selection of films (all they can afford is American B-Westerns), and sundry mishaps with the audience. Just when they're about to write off the theater as a loss, crafty old Tom comes up with an underhanded but effective method to allow the Spencers to make a huge profit on their shaky enterprise. Though chock full of entertaining vignettes, the best and most poignant scene in The Smallest Show on Earth finds the three elderly employees tearfully reveling in a nostalgic screening of the 1924 silent film Comin' Thro' the Rye.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

2003 News
New York County - - New Court Fees
Effective July 14, 2003, increases will go into effect for certain court fees in Supreme Court, Civil Branch, and certain new fees will be introduced. The fees that may be relevant in the Commercial Division are as follows:
Index Number - $ 210
Request for Judicial Intervention - $ 95
Note of Issue - $ 125
Note of Issue (RJI fee previously paid) - $ 30
Jury Demand - $ 65
Notice of Appeal - $ 65
Filing of a Motion - $ 45
Filing of a Cross-Motion - $ 45
Filing of a Stipulation of Settlement - $ 35
Filing of a Stipulation of Discontinuance - $ 35
Amendments to CPLR 2104 and 3217 require the defendant to file with the County Clerk a stipulation of settlement or a notice, stipulation or certificate of discontinuance.
As mandated by the Legislature, the court will do its best to see to it that the required fees are paid. At the same time, as the purpose of the legislation was solely to generate funds, the court will seek to enforce the new regime in a way that avoids the loss of rights for any party.
Fees on Motions and Cross-Motions
The legislation shall be implemented as follows with regard to motions and cross-motions:
– The new motion fee must be paid on motions made in writing by notice of motion, order to show cause or ex parte after the commencement of an action. For this purpose, the term "action" shall mean any application to the court that requires the assignment of an index number, regardless of whether a formal pleading is filed. Applications or motions that commence an action and for which an index number fee must be paid require no motion fee. Thus, for example, an application commencing an Article 78 or other special proceeding or a motion pursuant to CPLR 3213 would not require a motion fee because this application or motion requires an index number fee. Similarly, an ex parte application for pre-action disclosure (CPLR 3102 (c)) would not require payment of the motion fee because it requires an index number fee and commences an "action" for this purpose. However, any motions made after the initial applications in these situations would require payment of the motion fee. A motion that is the initial application in a case commenced by the filing of a summons and complaint would require a motion fee since the filing of the summons and complaint rather than the application itself would require the purchase of an index number. Uncontested matrimonial matters do not require payment of the motion fee.
– The fee must be paid on written cross-motions filed in opposition to motions on which a fee is required and also in opposition to applications or petitions for which a motion fee is not required.
– The fee must be paid on post-judgment motions and cross-motions made in writing.
Procedures for the Handling of Motions/Cross-Motions
Attorneys making motions by notice of motion should present the papers to the Motion Support Office (Room 119, 60 Centre Street) in the first instance. The staff of that office will inspect the papers for form and, if they are satisfactory, mark them indicating that they are acceptable for filing. This review will be conducted prior to the payment of the motion fee in order to ensure that fees are not paid with respect to motions that are defective and will be rejected (e.g., motions lacking proof of service or noticed for the wrong date). The filer shall then carry the papers to the Cashier of the County Clerk in Room 160 on the first floor of the 60 Centre Street courthouse. When the fee is paid, the County Clerk will place on the front of the notice of motion proof of payment in the form of a cashier's receipt stamp. This will be similar to the process now followed with Requests for Judicial Intervention. The filer should then return to the Motion Support Office and deliver the papers. The Motion Support Office will not accept motions that do not bear the cashier's receipt stamp but will require the procedure just described to be followed.
The same process should be followed with cross-motions except that, after preliminary review in Room 119 and the obtaining of the cashier's receipt stamp, the papers should be delivered to the Motion Support Office Courtroom (Room 130) on the return date. The staff of the Motion Support Office Courtroom will not accept cross-motions that lack the stamp; once the Motion Support Office (Room 119) has approved the cross-motion for form and so marked the papers, the filer must pay the fee and return to the Courtroom to hand in the papers. The Motion Support Office will accept the cross-motion bearing the cashier's receipt stamp even if the call of the calendar has concluded in Room 130 provided that the papers are submitted the same day as the call (and also, of course, that the papers were timely served and are in compliance with the procedures of the Courtroom).
The staff in court Parts will likewise accept cross-motions on the call of the calendar in the Part only if they bear proof of payment of the fee in the form of the cashier's receipt stamp.
Attorneys who seek to present to the Ex Parte Office (Room 315) or the Commercial Division Support Office (Room 148) orders to show cause or ex parte applications for which a motion fee is required should obtain preliminary approval from the Office, pay the motion fee and receive a cashier's receipt stamp on the papers from the County Clerk in Room 160, and then submit the papers to the one or the other Office.
Stipulations of Settlement or Discontinuance
The recent legislation introduced fees for the filing of stipulations of settlement and stipulations of discontinuance. Stipulations of partial discontinuance of an action require payment of the fee. The legislation has placed upon the defendant the obligation to file these documents. This court will continue, as in the past, to accept letters and signed responses to case inquiries informing us that a case has been settled and we will mark cases accordingly in our computer system. We will also continue to mark cases as settled as in the past when a settlement is reached in our Neutral Evaluation Program (informally known as "Mediation"), just prior to or during jury selection, or before a Justice. When stipulations of settlement or stipulations of discontinance are filed, however, they must be accompanied by a check or other approved form of payment for the required fee ($ 35). These stipulations accompanied by proper payment should be delivered to the Cashier of the County Clerk (Room 160). The County Clerk will thereafter transmit these stipulations to the Trial Support Office (Room 158) so that the court can confirm that the court's computer has been marked to reflect the disposition. The County Clerk will expect to receive payment when these stipulations are filed regardless of which party is doing the filing; the parties should resolve between themselves the final responsibility for the fee.
Methods of Payment
The New York County Clerk will accept payment of fees only in cash, or by Visa or MasterCard credit cards, New York attorneys' checks, certified checks, or postal money orders. All Supreme Court, Civil Branch, NY County fees shall be made payable to the New York County Clerk.
Additional Information
Should further information about the new fees become available or if any modifications are made in the foregoing principles or procedures, notice will be posted on this website. The Bar is requested to follow this site for such information.

Canvas: New Line from Ochre
Yesterday, I got a tour of the new line Canvas from Ochre owner Andrew Corrie. As a board member of Aid to Artisans, Andrew's interest in sustainable, quality furnishings and handcraft has formed a foundation to the line that supplements Ochre's high-end pieces with a collection aimed at the style-minded on a smaller budget. My favorite piece was a table made from cedar salvaged from dismantled NYC water towers!
• The water tower table and bench decked out with the Canvas line — I really liked the Nepalese felt cushions on the end of the bench - $150 each, and available in an assortment of colors.
• Soapstone tableware from Haiti and polished plaster lamps from Morocco.
• A close up of the water tower cedar.
• Ash trays made in upstate New York and inspired by Shaker construction techniques - $550.
• Linen picture frames — beautifully simple & elegant - $44 - $58 each.
• Bath towels and bath mats.
• Close up of towels — great knubbly texture!
• Woven telephone wire baskets from Africa — nice to see in a monochromatic and neutral color palette! - $40 - $99
• Recycled glass glasses and earthenware for the table.
• Wooden trestle table.
You can see more of the Canvas collection online: Canvas Home Store.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – King Softball found activity from all part of the Lady Tornado lineup in a Sunday split with the Tusculum Pioneers. After dropping game one in a close-knit 3-2 decision, the King bats ran amuck, scoring eight runs on 11 hits in an 8-2 win.
GAME ONE: King 2, Tusculum 3
Both teams threatened to score over the first three innings of play but Tusculum struck first with two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Katie Brennan hit a run-scoring triple with one out and was followed by a single to right center by Lindsey Umberger to give Tusculum an early lead.
Using a Tusculum error as an extra out to play with, Hannah Light put down a bunt to the right side, scoring Cassie Ringstaff who led the inning off with a single. King loaded the bases with two outs when Stephanie Rodriguez beat out an infield single to score their second run and tie the game, 2-2. Aubree Hutt was cut down at the plate on an errant pitch to end the inning.
Tusculum wasted no time to take back to the lead in the bottom of the fifth, when Katy Stuckwish beat out her batted ball to short and advanced on a throwing error. After being advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt, Stuckwish scored on a groundout to short to score the eventual winning run, hit by Katie Gross.
Rachael Wilmoth (L, 12-8) pitched another solid game, allowing only three runs in her six innings of work. Stephanie Rodriguez (Lake Mary, Fla.) led the team offensively with two hits and a run scored.
GAME TWO: King 8, Tusculum
The Lady Tornado bats came alive in game two, putting up eight runs on 11 hits against the Pioneers. King defeated Tusculum to avoid the season sweep, 8-2.
Aubree Hutt scored twice over the first two innings while King put up four quick runs against Pioneer pitcher Kaytlin Stroinski. The Bristol, Va., native led the game off with a single up the middle and later came around to score on Christina Melcher's double to left field. Fallon Thomas (Bristol, Va.) drove in Melcher with a single up the middle, giving King a 2-0 lead after one inning of play.
They continued to tack on runs when a walk to Stephanie Rodriguez and an error in the field cost Tusculum two more runs in the top of the second. With the bases loaded and no outs, Tusculum cut down one run at the plate but Christina Melcher's deep fly ball gave King a 3-2 lead and a throwing error on the same play allowed Hutt to score, as well.
Melcher and MacKenzie Draine each drove in run in subsequent innings, driving the King lead to 5-1 by the end of the fifth inning. Cora Milliken (Jacksonville, Fla.) delivered the final offensive blow with a two-run single up the middle with the bases loaded, scoring Cassie Ringstaff and Hannah Light.
Hannah Light (Coeburn, Va.) earned her 15th victory of the season, limiting the Tusculum lineup to only four hits and two runs in game two. She fell one strikeout shy of tying her career high that was set in her last game against Mount Olive, finishing with nine and walking none.
King (28-17, 11-9) has sealed its placed in the 2012 Conference Carolinas Tournament, currently sitting in the sixth seed spot. They have two games remaining with St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Tuesday, April 17. Regardless of the outcome, the Tornado has locked itself into the sixth seed (by winning percentage) and will play three-seed Queens University of Charlotte in the opening round. First pitch against the Black Knights is set for 2:00 p.m. at the King College Softball Complex.

Paint Color Portfolio: Teal Living Rooms
The darker, moodier cousin of turquoise, teal imparts to living rooms a sophisticated jewel box flair. Like snorkeling through underwater caves or hiking through thick jungle brush, the hue evokes a quiet calm with a hint of danger. These brooding hues go well with a variety of metal accents, wood tones, and natural materials, making them a great choice for a living space.

Recently, 26 states argued before the Supreme Court that the health law's dramatic extension of Medicaid coverage constitutes unconstitutional federal coercion. "Congress easily could have designed an act that encouraged rather than forced states to expand their Medicaid programs," their brief submitted to the Court argues. "By making a conscious decision to deprive states of any choice in the matter, Congress has effectively forced this court's hand."
Since virtually all these states are headed by Republican Governors, we can consider this the Republican Party position.
What form does this coercion take? According to the states, it is the unprecedented federal generosity that allows them to achieve the required expansion at virtually no cost. They believe the federal government is making them an offer they can't refuse, which rises to the level of an unconstitutional invasion of state prerogatives.
A little background may be in order. Medicare guarantees health care to those over 65. It is funded from payroll taxes. Enacted at the same time as Medicare, Medicaid is aimed at lower income households. It is funded out of general revenues. State participation is voluntary but if states offer minimum levels of coverage, the federal government will pay the majority of the costs. Currently the average federal share is 57 percent but it can be much higher for specific states.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires participating states to extend Medicaid eligibility to all households with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (in 2012 about $15,000 for an individual and $30,000 for a family of four). In return for their doing this the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the costs of Medicaid for new entrants for the first three years. Then states will pick up a tiny share of the cost, gradually growing to 10 percent by 2020, and remaining there.
I have a question for these 26 mostly Republican Governors. Whom do you think you are representing? It's hard to believe it's the citizens of your states.
Consider the impact of the law on Alabama, one of the signatories to the Supreme Court brief. Medicaid in Alabama is a $6 billion-a-year program. The federal government covers more than $4 billion of that. Under the new law, the number of Alabamans covered by Medicaid, currently about 1 million of its 5 million residents, would rise by 500,000. That may increase Medicaid spending between 2014 and 2019 by $470 million but federal expenditures in Alabama would increase by $10.3 billion. For every additional dollar Alabama will spend on health care for new Medicaid enrollees out of its general budget, federal spending in the state on health care will increase by more than $20.
Alabama will receive a $1.5 billion a year injection of new money. In economic impact this is equivalent to an automobile plant opening with 20,000 new jobs. Half a million Alabamans will gain health insurance, reducing their and their families' pain and anxiety. What's not to like?
Actually the deal is even better. Because the new law will dramatically reduce the number of uninsured, states will save billions in uncompensated spending on hospitalization, mental health care and other medical services. According to Urban Institute researchers John Holahan and Irene Headen states' savings from no longer having to finance as much uncompensated care may fully offset the increase in state Medicaid costs required by the new law.
Indeed, one analysis of the financial impact on states nationwide finds that under a worst-case scenario, states will realize net budgetary savings between 2014 and 2019 of $40.6 billion. In a best-case scenario these gains soar to $131.9 billion.
So when the Republican Governors of Alabama and 25 other states and by extension the Republican Party argue that the federal program is unconstitutional, I seriously doubt anyone can say they are doing so on the basis of any rational cost-benefit analysis. So they must be standing on principle. But what exactly is the principle? Is it that states do not want to provide health care for millions of their citizens? Is it that that they do but they don't want the federal government to pay for it? Is it that they do but they don't want to be forced to do so?
None of these principles seem the kind that a political party would want to embrace during an election year. The first is simply mean spirited. The second is laughable. The third sounds a lot like a five year old having a temper tantrum, "You can't make me!"
The states' complaint about federal coercion in the form of unprecedented generosity received relatively little media attention. That's unfortunate. As the state and federal election campaigns swing into high gear it would be illuminating to hear these 26 Governors and the Republican Party justify to their constituents their vigorous opposition to expanding health care to million of their residents and significantly boosting their economies at virtually no cost to state budgets.

In real life quiet a few, internet is quite different as people tend to be short interest/fashion based and fickle..but I would add to this, Whilst asking for years for a system of accountability and a level of community involvement from those who volunteers....I have also said the workload such as checking every thread and every post every day is the biggest waste of volunteer time in aven and unnecessary...their job is not to police the forum but enable it...they have however become police, throwing people out, putting up more walls than ever before in avens history and the more walls that go up they are not just the locking out others but also locking out the members from cross community involvement.
It is the mods who are removing community involvement as so few interact and more than any other mod team...have created a wider divide of them and us and turning their back on their community is at the heart of it
but in return can I ask you Nancy ....how often have you seen some belong to something and the longer they are involved, the less involved they become but id anyone dares to say something to them like, "others could take your place you know if you do not want to do it any more?" and they come back with " do you know how long I've been here, I'm entitled to do f*ck all" Those will always be the people that refuse to be accountable
KAGU143 wrote: I ask, because I think you are overestimating the willingness of the average person to commit themselves to doing unpaid labor for an extended amount of time. Of course there will be a FEW who are willing to help indefinitely, but they are a very small minority. Most volunteers burn out quickly and lose interest.
I've never agreed entirley with this, I think if you as leaders of that community stimulate and interact within that community then in return often that community stimulates you. The lack of leadership is well know within avens backroom so the lazy fall back onto..."the members know f*ck all and we do not have to interact or justify ourselves to them"
It's just like work..at the momment, aven has a leadership where most of them do not want to or are unable to be community involved and often put down members genuine concerns and some of them act like DJ, they really do not want to be involved in the community, and their absence of involvement confirms this, but they do not want anyone else doing it because that is all they have.
A better question might be to ask those people Nancy, why do you stay in aven if you do not want to be involved with the community, refuse to be accountable to avens members and stifle any desperately needed changes for no other reason than you do not want too and see members almost as an inconveniance.....why are you still there?

Faculty Profile - Sara Druryby Tom Runge • December 20, 2012 Share:
Name: Sara A. Mehltretter Drury
Background: I grew up in a suburb outside of Buffalo, New York. Which suburb? Orchard Park, home of the Buffalo Bills. I graduated from Mount Mercy Academy, a Catholic high school for young women in South Buffalo. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication and in Political Science from Boston College, earning Phi Beta Kappa honors. For graduate school, I began my track mid-westerly by heading to the Pennsylvania State University, where I earned my M.A. and Ph.D. in Communication Arts and Sciences. I worked for a year as a Research Associate at the Kettering Foundation in Dayton, Ohio, before coming to work at Wabash.
Department and specialty at Wabash: Rhetoric. I teach and research on the quality and character of U.S. public discourse, including courses in public speaking, deliberation, political rhetoric, religious rhetoric, and classical rhetorical theory.
Favorite part of Wabash: Wabash students are invested in and take responsibility for their education, and they also balance work and fun in their lives. Teaching a classroom of young men like that is my favorite part about working here.
Favorite place on the campus: When I walk or bike to school, I enjoy traveling through the Arboretum. It's especially pretty as the sun begins to shine through the leaves and branches of the trees. It's a peaceful way to start or end a day on campus.
Favorite food: Wings. Preferably from Duff's, a wings restaurant in Buffalo, but I'll take any variety of buffalo-style chicken wings.
Something people might not know about you: I love the theater! Growing up, I acted in plays and musicals, and I enjoy attending local, regional, and Broadway productions. And, more recently, I was lucky enough to play the role of Frosine in Wabash's April 2012 production of Molière's The Miser.

Volunteering by Design
By Frank Radosevich II
May 11, 2012
When David Smit, a master's candidate for visual communications and design, asked people why they didn't volunteer, he uncovered a variety of reasons.
Few had the time to spare. Others said they lacked the necessary skills to help. Some cited bad experiences that soured their outlook on lending a hand. And many said simply they didn't know where to look for volunteering opportunities.
"If you go to Google and type in 'volunteer in Peoria,' you'll never find anything," said Smit, who has also worked as an adjunct art professor at Bradley. "I thought I could solve all of these issues."
A firm believer in community service himself, Smit set his sights on solving this disconnect between helpers and groups with his thesis project. What he created was Volunteer Heart of Illinois, an online initiative that aims to bring non-profit organizations, potential volunteers and local businesses closer together.
During the early stages of the project, he met with some 70 different charities or non-profit groups in Peoria County to help shape the website's layout. The online application he envisions would allow organizations to advertise their needs and users browse for projects they would be interested in doing. The application would also feature a master calendar where associations could list their fundraisers or hours for volunteering.
Since everything is online, users could track how many times they have volunteered around town. The easier and more enjoyable it is to volunteer, Smit said, the more people will pitch in or donate down the road.
"It's a way to share what you are doing to get people involved with it," he said.
Smit said designers are more than artists; they are problem-solvers. The task of a designer, he said, is to aid a client in explaining something to their customers or partners. Making that answer visually appealing is just part of the graphic design process.
"Graphic design's main functional tool is solving problems," Smit explained. "I'm trying to get people to be more active in their community."
With the template for the website complete, Smit said local groups are keen to have the project complete. He said he talked about partnering with an organization to help bring the initiative to fruition.
"When it will be ready is the only question I get from non-profits," he said. "They are pretty excited about what's going on."

Portal Multiplayer, Maybe
[Update – there's a follow-up video purporting to show limited multiplay here. The Portal gun isn't actually used in this video however, so I'm not sure what to take from it yet.]
Well, not officially, but fans are working out how to make it happen without Valvian blessing. Thinking about exactly how having your opponents suddenly disappear on you and pop into existence on the other side of the map will work makes my head asplode, nevertheless: Woo!
Matt Malesky sends the below short tutorial video he's made of how to get the Portal gun up and running in Half-Life 2 Deathmatch maps. No actual multiplay yet (update – some commentators on this piece hold that this may not ultimately be possible. Ooh, I just don't know who to believe), but this is already waaaay beyond proof of concept, so fingers crossed for the real party soon. Before you watch, a warning: it has got a Radiohead song playing throughout, I'm afraid. I'm not sure why this clearly otherwise excellent fellow felt Oxford's droniest sons were necessary to get the point across, but never mind – just press mute or, as I did, drown it out with your own screaming. Thanks for the tip-off though Matt, and, indeed, thanks for working out how to do this.

With the weather showing some promise of summer at last, Dudley Public Health is offering some practical advice on how to stay safe in the sun.
People all over Dudley will be spending much of their free time outside this summer and as we enjoy the brighter sunnier days we need to keep in mind the risks of over exposure to sunlight.
Whether you are staying at home this summer or jetting off to sunnier climes, it is important to look after your skin.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the UK but most cases could be prevented. The number of people getting skin cancer is rising each year at an alarming rate and it is predicted to rise faster than any other cancer.
Research has found that six out of 10 men and four out of 10 women never use sunscreen or cover-up during sunny periods in the UK. The sun doesn't need to feel hot to damage your skin and it can be just as damaging here as it is abroad.
With the school holidays underway, those looking after children should remember that young skin is delicate and very easily damaged by the sun. All children, no matter whether they tan easily or not, should be protected from the sun. Young people are more vulnerable to the effects of sunlight and if children get burnt, it increases the risk of skin cancer later in life.
Here are a few practical tips to keep you and your children safe in the sun and avoid sunburn.
• Use at least factor 15 or above sunscreen.
• Cover up with a t-shirt, hat and sunglasses.
• Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm.
• Take care not to burn. Don't be fooled by a cool breeze or light cloud.
• Drink plenty to avoid dehydration.

Chrysler to Offer Diesel in 1/2-Ton Ram Pickup
February 14, 2013 by RVBusiness · 2 Comments
Chrysler Group LLC announced that it will offer a diesel in the standard-duty Ram 1500 pickup in the third quarter this year, making it the first modern half-ton pickup in the U.S. market with a diesel power option.
According to a report in USA Today, that should attract a significant number of buyers, because while a diesel typically costs more than a gasoline engine up front, it uses less fuel, has greater pulling power, often lasts longer and has higher resale value — dollars-and-cents issues important to business users who account for many pickup sales.
Ram's internal studies show that "customers have been emphatically asking for this, thirsting for it, craving it," said Fred Diaz, CEO of Chrysler's Ram brand in a phone interview from Mexico (Diaz is also CEO of Chrysler de Mexico).
He wouldn't forecast sales, but said, "The business case (for Ram) is a positive one. This isn't just a little side note. We plan to do good business with the diesel."
That's because he thinks the pool of half-ton diesel buyers is deep. "This isn't a one-and-done or a fad," he said.
Diesels have been limited for decades to heavy-duty pickups, the so-called three-quarter-ton and higher-duty models, which are more expensive than standard-duty trucks — even before adding the $8,000 or so price premium for the heavy-duty diesel option. And those trucks are larger, making them more cumbersome to drive and maneuver.
Being first with a standard-duty diesel pickup could attract 10,000 additional buyers the first year, more after that — if the price is right — predicts Jesse Toprak, veteran industry watcher at TrueCar.com.
He thinks Chrysler should "make a big noise" by offering the diesel at little or no price premium vs. gasoline engines.
That would be unheard of in the truck business — and unlikely in this case. "We think customers will be satisfied with the value proposition" after considering price, mileage and towing and hauling capacities, Diaz said.
He wouldn't comment on pricing, though, or give power and mileage ratings for the diesel. The engine will be a 3-liter turbo V-6 from Italy's VM Motori, which has supplied diesels to Chrysler since 1992. It's the same engine that Chrysler had said it would offer in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, starting in May.

Commissioner Moeller's statement on Northeastern Utilities and NSTAR Electric's Petition for Declaratory Order
"This case presents a unique situation that calls for a unique response. Clarifying what this request is, and what it is not, is necessary to provide clear signals to potential developers and users of future transmission infrastructure. Each transmission project that comes before the Commission must independently satisfy our requirements with respect to non-discriminatory open access, market power and rate structure.
As the order explains, this proposal is not a merchant line given that the transmission rates charged will be subject to cost-based regulation. Additionally, this order finds that the proposed structure of the transaction does not violate the open access foundation of Order No. 888 and our subsequent determinations in Order. 890. While some parties to this proceeding argue that the proposed structure of the transmission project conflicts with our open-access and non-discriminatory transmission requirements, the parties have not clearly demonstrated how the Petitioners' request interferes with our existing requirements or Commission policy. At present, the Petitioners only seek approval of the structure of the transaction described in their filing and I find no compelling basis on which to deny their request. "
