Ok so I have been waiting for about 3 weeks, my credit reports were cleen I have checked everyday for 2 weeks solid. I was waiting for my Wells Fargo secured to report with a $3 bal. $300 limit! Well this morning it appeared. But I realized something was wrong when I loged into credit Karma I always have to fill out the questions due to a thin file, everything was usual till I came to this page asking questions to verify my identity. I am 19 so I dont have a mortgage nor any other accounts just my Wells Fargo card, they asked about some weird things too. Well I now have to send them my birth certificate and my Drivers License to confirm who I am.
Then I logged into Experians monitoring service and updated and was very excited my score is a 725/850! I am just going to buy like a candy bar from now on each month and pay it when the bill comes. I like that score very much. I want to buy a small condo in about 1 1/2 years for around $21,000 for college (I go to a junior college now so no rent ) Already talked to the loan officer at Wells Fargo and siad they can do that amount just need employment history and credit history.
Then I log into the Transunion report online and am horrified to find out my score is a 556! The wells fargo card did the inquiry there which I knew thats were they will pull for a condo loan when I apply so that one I want to be squeeky clean. Well I have over $3,000 owed it says and that I am delequent and all kinds of bad stuff on cards that are not mine. and also added alot of new adresses and names to my report! I called transunion and the lady was really nice and helped me by disputing them over the phone. I think I may file a police report as well and send a letter to all the creditors. I called them all and they said they didnt show me as having a account with them based on my social security number. I had my ss card with me so i had the right # for sure! Wells fargo is reporting very nicely but these other place are not..
Exquifax - None I dont have history yet they say...
So what should I do now? Am I runied till they disapear should I go to the police station and file a report? and send copies to them?
My daughter's debit card number got used and they took around $3000 from her. We had to file a police report to get the money back into her account from the bank.
So, I would say yes...you need to file the report.
The sad part of this is that they were using her card in various states...they are not stupid. To prosecute them, if they found them, would require that she travel to each state at her own expense. Crazy legal system...they should make the guilty person do the traveling at their expense to where she is!!!
Don't assume identity theft yet. If the creditors that you called said they didn't have any accounts for you, it may be that those accounts belong to someone else and were matched to you by name, address, etc.
Get the complete reports and do the research. Sounds more likely to be an error than identity theft based upon the information provided.
+1 Greg. You disputed as not yours with TU. Find out the outcome of that before you go and file.
Go to freeannualcreditreport.com, there you can pull all 3 reports for free (1x a year) to get the full picture...if it is fraud, I highly advise to file a police report.
Your situation is prime for using the FCRA fraud/identity theft process, which congress enacted to deal with the adverse credit reporting and scoring impacts of fraud/identity theft information.
The dispute process is not the best way to deal with such issues. When you dispute, the creditor is required to investigate their records and confirm based on their information that the reporting was accurate. The dispute process does not compel them to produce documents or evidence to support their verification, and thus does not get the real issue resolved. They have no way of knowing their records may be fraudulent, so verification on their part is appropriate.
The FCRA identity theft process was enacted to permits consumers, by filing a sworn statement before law enforcement officials that the information was never authorized by them, and accordingly must have been done by another, to instantly get the information blocked from their credit report (FCRA 605B)) by sending a copy to the CRA, and additionally require the creditor to produce business records pertaining to the account (FCRA 609(e)) that they are not compelled to provide via the dispute process.
It starts with willingness to put your assertions in a sworn police report.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Banana Pudding
- Merrill
My friend Alexandra is a self-trained banana pudding aficionado. If banana pudding's on the menu, she's guaranteed to order it -- and to have strong opinions about it afterwards. In case you're unfamiliar with this Southern classic, it's basically a trifle made with pudding, vanilla wafers and bananas. Like most traditional dishes, there are as many versions of banana pudding as there are cooks who make it.
A few years ago, Alexandra was kind enough to let me tag along on her quest to find the best banana pudding in New York City. We went on a series of field trips to various soul food joints in boroughs near and far, seeking out the puddings that had come the most highly recommended -- from friends, friends-of-friends, and total strangers on the web.
This rigorous bout of research was followed by a blind banana pudding taste test that Alexandra hosted at her apartment. We ran around the city, gathering samples of our top contenders, and then seven or eight of us sat in a circle in her living room, spoon in one hand, typed questionnaire in the other, assessing the taste, texture and overall appeal of each pudding.
While I don't remember the final consensus, I do clearly recall my own favorite. I'm not a huge fan of their cupcakes, which are too sweet for my taste, but Magnolia Bakery has won a permanent place in my heart with their banana pudding. Less dense than most renditions, their pudding is lightened with fresh whipped cream and studded with healthy chunks of banana. Some prefer a smooth pudding (ahem, lizb, I'm really hoping we can still be friends after this post), but I like my banana pudding to have little pieces of fruit, to remind me that I'm eating something made from scratch rather than from a box.
Last week, spurred on by our pudding contest, I attempted to recreate Magnolia's light, not-too-sweet banana pudding, using this simple vanilla pudding recipe from Martha Stewart as my jumping-off point. And I think I came pretty close to the original. Of course, the real test will come when I make it for Alexandra.

Lost amid the cascade of recent major Supreme Court decisions was the news that the Court will hear a case challenging the legality of President Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. Importantly, this case will also cover the president's appointment of the current director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Richard Cordray.
Since the organization's creation, critics have been concerned by the lack of any meaningful accountability or oversight, and Cordray's appointment without a thorough Congressional vetting did nothing to soothe those concerns. The court's decision is an important first step, but hardly the only one required, in bringing to heel a government body with the audacity to think it's wise enough to do for consumers what they can't do for themselves.
Though it's an organization that's supposed to represent consumers, the CFPB doesn't have to ask those consumers' elected representatives for annual funding. This shields the agency from lawmakers' most awesome means of accountability - the power of the purse. Instead, the CFPB is entitled to 12 percent of the Federal Reserve's annual operating expenses, which in fiscal year 2013 totaled $597.6 million.
Any amount requested under that cap is automatically granted, and neither Congress nor the Fed can say otherwise. That leaves the CFPB with ample room to spend handsomely on itself. For example, the agency budgeted $95 million in the current fiscal year to renovate its downtown Washington headquarters. That figure is more than the entire annual construction and acquisition budget for the General Services Administration for all other federal buildings combined.
But that's just the beginning. Unlike most other federal agencies, the CFPB is not required to abide by salary limits established by the Office of Personnel Management. That's why 58 employees have higher salaries than executive cabinet secretaries, and over 60 percent of its 1,200-employee workforce earns over $100,000 a year - before bonuses. Even lowly interns command an average of $18.45 per hour.
These are exactly the types of budgetary excesses that, if committed by other federal agencies, would receive intense Congressional scrutiny during the annual appropriations process. But even if Congress does have suspicions about reckless spending within the CFPB, the organization's founding legal charter prohibits congressional appropriators from altering its half a billion dollar budget
This lack of accountability is all the more troubling when considering the business track records of its Consumer Advisory Board members. As reported recently in the Washington Examiner, nine of the board's 25 members either presided over recent bank failures or previously reported substantial losses in their operations of nonprofit organizations. This from a group tasked with, among other things, providing financial advice to low-income families.
A number of the Consumer Advisory Board's members also come from organizations the CFPB actively regulates. This coziness was on full display last September when the CFPB awarded a $1.3 million contract to a corporation on whose board a CAB member also sits. These are exactly the types of relationships that would draw Congressional ire were the CFPB accountable to it, or anyone else for that matter.
Taken together, all of this illustrates that the CFPB's problems are far greater than just its director. While a court decision that required Director Cordray to be approved by Congress would undoubtedly be a step in the right direction, critics would do well to keep their eye on the bigger prize: Instituting structural reforms that increase accountability and oversight at the CFPB.

Our Leadership Principles aren't just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. These Principles work hard, just like we do. We use them every day, whether we're discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer's problem, or interviewing candidates.
Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.
Ownership: Leaders are owners. They think long term and don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say "that's not my job".
Invent and Simplify: Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by "not invented here". As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.
Are Right, A Lot: Leaders are right a lot. They have strong business judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
Hire and Develop The Best: Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in coaching others. We work on behalf of our people to invent mechanisms for development like Career Choice.
Insist on the Highest Standards: Leaders have relentlessly high standards - many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and driving their teams to deliver high quality products, services and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
Think Big: Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers.
Bias for Action: Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.
Frugality: Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size or fixed expense.
Learn and Be Curious: Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.
Earn Trust: Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward or embarrassing. Leaders do not believe their or their team's body odor smells of perfume. They benchmark themselves and their teams against the best.
Dive Deep: Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdote differ. No task is beneath them.
Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit: Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.
Deliver Results: Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle.
Our unique customer support department features five distinct teams — core customer support (via phone and email), security and trust (fraud fighters), tactical engineering (technical troubleshooters), registration (assisting and vetting new booksellers) and communications (messaging for our customers). We deliver exceptional customer support and insist on the highest standards.
This vibrant department maintains and develops our websites, including the enterprise level search engine, the proprietary shopping basket and the inventory management/order processing systems that provide a robust experience for our buyers and sellers. The quality assurance team, dedicated to ensuring problem-free technology, resides within this section.
This team sells books, art, and collectibles by finding new customers and retaining existing ones. It is the guardian of the on-site customer experience. A host of channels are used to help booksellers sell more books items, including optimization of our sites for the best natural search results on Internet search engines, paid search, affiliate marketing and email as well as public relations and off-line promotions.
Sellers are the focus of this team, including acquisition and retention as well as account management and seller performance. Our buyers expect high standards from our sellers so monitoring and enforcement of policies are vital day-to-day tasks. This department is also responsible for the tools used by sellers on AbeBooks, such as our inventory management system Homebase.
This team ensures the delivery of high quality software and infrastructure products that enhance the AbeBooks' experience for our buyers and sellers. Using 'agile' development methodology, our product managers translate customer and business needs into tangible tasks for our engineers. Excellence in planning and execution are key requirements for our product managers.
Our finance functions are wide-ranging including planning, reporting and recording revenues. This section also controls the movement of money related to day-to-day book sales. The administration team handles payroll, benefits, facilities management and office admin support. Our human resources specialists manage recruitment and ensure employees have the tools to succeed.
On call 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, this dedicated team maintains all aspects of AbeBooks' infrastructure from state-of-the-art servers to the phones on the desks. Their wide-ranging responsibilities include our primary and secondary datacenters, the production websites, our huge database, our internal network and systems, and software configuration management.
To booklovers around the world, AbeBooks is a great place to buy books. However, we have always been a technology company that helps booksellers and book-buyers. Since 1996, our technology has been helping to revolutionize the book business and that quest goes on.
Our technology workers are versatile, quick-thinking and thrive on deadlines. They plan and build systems that will yield long-term tangible benefits but also drop everything when required to solve critical issues where every minute counts. Anyone looking for a technology job at AbeBooks has to prove they are a flexible team player because there is no room for prima donnas. We do a lot with a relatively small number of people.
We are devoted to Agile practices and methodologies in software engineering, and e-commerce is a business that never sleeps when it comes to site operations. Our QA engineers are analytical on a global scale. Scalability is the magic word for the database administrators while the product managers have vision and a get-it-done attitude. Our web developers insist on the highest standards when building dynamic pages and user interfaces. Do you have what it takes to join our team?
Will your work be good enough for our booksellers and our book-buyers?
Knowing the latest technologies is essential but our long-term goal is always tangible products.
We like no-nonsense trouble-shooters who can dive deep and fix problems fast.
We have small teams and you will be your own CEO.
Know your stuff. You will be tested every day in your career at AbeBooks.
When every penny counts, the time and resources of our technology teams are not wasted.
Using Agile practices, our QA engineers work closely with software developers and site operations to build innovative products that deliver a top-class customer experience. They also liaise with stakeholders from the business side of the company to understand objectives, evaluate deliverables against requirements and develop test suites that replicate complex real-world situations at scale. Must-haves include experience in security, performance, functional and reliability testing, also familiarity with Linux (or Unix), relational databases and SQL goes a long way. Our QA experts walk in someone else's shoes every day.
The word 'versatile' barely scratches the surface when describing this team. Using Agile, Scrum and Extreme Programming methodologies, they build and upgrade a huge range of systems for buyers and sellers including search, inventory management, and order and payment processing. Essential experience includes Java ecosystem, OOD/OOP, and the ability to develop scalable applications using technologies like JMS, Spring, caching tiers, and relational databases. Being able to write and test high quality code is a given but these engineers also know algorithms, data structures and Linux. The ability to trouble-shoot while under pressure is a valued skill.
Fast-paced and dynamic, our site operations team provides UNIX systems administration and support, switching between site maintenance and project-based initiatives, and working with state-of-the-art hardware and software too. Sections of this team are always on-call — 3am pager messages are not unusual. The work includes handling Apache web server configuration, Tomcat application servers, Cisco network hardware and administering Unix Systems and tools. Familiarity with a wide range of Internet protocols, and Shell and Perl scripting are also on the list of required abilities. This team encapsulates the 24/7 nature of ecommerce.
Sound database administration skills are just the beginning. This group provides database support and development via backend programming. Members of this team are experts in SQL and Oracle and thoroughly understand client/server technologies and methodologies, as well as Java API calling patterns. They design and implement complex custom software systems using Oracle, PL/SQL, SQL and other third party libraries. Agile methodologies are also part of this team's working practices.

Hyundai Resources:
2013 model year changes
Hyundai has thoroughly revamped its Genesis coupe for 2013. Changes have been made inside and out, with a more aggressive front end treatment and a revised and more luxurious passenger cabin. The biggest changes however, are under the hood. On premium fuel, the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder now delivers an impressive 274 hp and 275 ft-lb of torque (up from 210 hp and 223 lb-feet). Similarly, the 3.8L V6 gets a big power bump and now churns out 348 hp and 295 ft-lb (up from 306 hp and 266 lb-feet). To harness that extra power, Hyundai has done away with the previous 5- and 6-speed automatics and replaced them with a new 8-speed automatic. The 6-speed manual carries over with a few changes. Overall, six models are offered. Hyundai claims 20 mpg city and 31 mpg highway from the turbocharged 4-cylinder, while the V6 returns 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway--up 1 mpg each from last year's model.
Competitive comparison
Fresh styling inside and out; improved, more powerful engines lineup; new 8-speed automatic transmission; excellent road-holding; superior warranty
Special features for 2013
There was already a lot to like about the Hyundai. Genesis sport coupe. Now that the Korean automaker has refined its two powerplants with added power and efficiency, and added a slick 8-speed automatic to the mix, there's even more to recommend the Genesis. With rear-wheel drive, a firm and able suspension, and a price tag that's more than competitive with its Japanese and even European counterparts, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis is worth a good long look.
Updated for 2013, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe with seating for up to four adults. Available with two different engines, the standard Genesis Coupe is powered by a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 274hp/275 lb-ft of torque while the Genesis Coupe 3.8 utilizes a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 348 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines can be paired with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 8-speed automatic. Fuel mileage for the base model is an EPA estimated 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Features include HID xenon headlights, 19-inch wheels, heated side mirrors, dual chrome exhaust tips, proximity key, navigation system, premium sound system, automatic temperature control, and heated front seats. Safety is comprised of electronic stability control, anti-lock braking, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, tire pressure monitoring, advanced front airbags, side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags. The Genesis Coupe is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.

Alber Saber has been sentenced to three years in prison for "blasphemy."
Alber Saber was arrested in September after neighbours accused him of posting links to a film mocking Islam that led to protests across the Muslim world.
Neighbors accused him of posting links to something, and for that he gets three years in prison.
Egypt? You're doing it wrong.
Mr Saber was initially accused of circulating links to a 14-minute trailer for the film, Innocence of Muslims, which denigrates the Prophet Muhammad.
But he denied promoting the video and later faced charges relating to other statements critical of Islam and Christianity which police investigators allegedly found online and on his computer at his home.
Oh right, the first charge fell apart so they dug up something else – "statements critical of Islam and Christianity." Jeez. I wonder how many centuries in jail I would get if I were in Egypt.
There has been a proliferation of prosecutions for blasphemy in Egypt in the nearly two years since Hosni Mubarak was overthrown. Many of those targeted are Copts, who make up about 10% of the population.
Although blasphemy has long been a criminal offence, Article 44 of the draft constitution contains a specific article prohibiting insulting prophets.
And "insulting prophets" means saying anything critical of guys who lived many centuries ago.
Egypt you're really really doing it wrong.

Abstract:OBJECTIVE: To determine whether paramedic rapid sequence intubation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) improves neurologic outcomes at 6 months compared with intubation in the hospital. BACKGROUND: Severe TBI is associated with a high rate of mortality and long-term morbidity. Comatose patients with TBI routinely undergo endo-tracheal intubation to protect the airway, prevent hypoxia, and control ventilation. In many places, paramedics perform intubation prior to hospital arrival. However, it is unknown whether this approach improves outcomes. METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, controlled trial, we assigned adults with severe TBI in an urban setting to either prehospital rapid sequence intubation by paramedics or transport to a hospital emergency department for intubation by physicians. The primary outcome measure was the median extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSe) score at 6 months. Secondary end-points were favorable versus unfavorable outcome at 6 months, length of intensive care and hospital stay, and survival to hospital discharge. RESULTS: A total of 312 patients with severe TBI were randomly assigned to paramedic rapid sequence intubation or hospital intubation. The success rate for paramedic intubation was 97%. At 6 months, the median GOSe score was 5 (interquartile range, 1-6) in patients intubated by paramedics compared with 3 (interquartile range, 1-6) in the patients intubated at hospital (P = 0.28).The proportion of patients with favorable outcome (GOSe, 5-8) was 80 of 157 patients (51%) in the paramedic intubation group compared with 56 of 142 patients (39%) in the hospital intubation group (risk ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-1.64; P = 0.046). There were no differences in intensive care or hospital length of stay, or in survival to hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS: In adults with severe TBI, prehospital rapid sequence intubation by paramedics increases the rate of favorable neurologic outcome at 6 months compared with intubation in the hospital.
Notes & Commentary:
This well designed, conducted and reported randomised controlled trial (RCT) of prehospital rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anaesthesia & intubation in traumatic brain injury is the first RCT of prehospital RSI of any reasonable quality in trauma. (See the 2009 Cochrane Review "Emergency intubation for acutely ill and injured patients"). Furthermore the researchers moved beyond mortality as the primary outcome to a more comprehensive assessment of outcome (dependency). They found no difference in hospital outcomes but a strong signal for "good neurological outcome" (normal to moderate disability) in the Prehospital RSI group.
Overall the study was well conducted. Subjects were block randomised by paramedic crew via sealed opaque envelopes. The study was conducted over nearly four years. There were a lot of exclusions - 1045 patients were screened but only 312 enrolled. Most exclusions were either because the patient was being transported by air, was less than 10 minutes from hospital or RSI skills were not available at scene.
As with all such studies there are many questions to answer. Despite the observed outcome differences, there was little difference in the 2 groups on hospital arrival, and in particular there was no difference in their PaO2, O2 saturations or PaCO2 measurements. What then was the benefit of prehospital RSI - does it avoid fluctuations in these variables or is it reducing spikes in intracranial pressure? The preshopital RSI patients statistically spent 12 minutes longer on scene, received approximately 500mls more crystalloid prehospitally, and were colder (by 0.6 degrees C). Is the observed effect due to the protective effects of this mild relative hypothermia (mean 35.0 degrees C).
Additionally there was overall benefit but it was not clear which subgroup had the most benefit from prehospital RSI. There was a trend to suggest that those age <60 received the most benefit. However the trial was really too small for these subgroup analyses and none of the reported subgroups showed worse outcomes with the study intervention. This study joins the list of recent studies showing that good quality clinical trials can be conducted in trauma care, even in the prehospital environment. There is really no longer any excuse for poor design, conduct or reporting of trauma trials. While a further large trial is warranted, this is strong support for prehospital RSI.

Abstract:OBJECTIVE: To determine whether out-of-hospital administration of hypertonic fluids would improve survival after severe injury with hemorrhagic shock. BACKGROUND: Hypertonic fluids have potential benefit in the resuscitation of severely injured patients because of rapid restoration of tissue perfusion, with a smaller volume, and modulation of the inflammatory response, to reduce subsequent organ injury. METHODS: Multicenter, randomized, blinded clinical trial, May 2006 to August 2008, 114 emergency medical services agencies in North America within the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium. Inclusion criteria: injured patients, age ≥ 15 years with hypovolemic shock (systolic blood pressure ≤ 70 mm Hg or systolic blood pressure 71-90 mm Hg with heart rate ≥ 108 beats per minute). Initial resuscitation fluid, 250 mL of either 7.5% saline per 6% dextran 70 (hypertonic saline/dextran, HSD), 7.5% saline (hypertonic saline, HS), or 0.9% saline (normal saline, NS) administered by out-of-hospital providers. Primary outcome was 28-day survival. On the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring board, the study was stopped early (23% of proposed sample size) for futility and potential safety concern. RESULTS: A total of 853 treated patients were enrolled, among whom 62% were with blunt trauma, 38% with penetrating. There was no difference in 28-day survival-HSD: 74.5% (0.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], -7.5 to 7.8); HS: 73.0% (-1.4; 95% CI, -8.7-6.0); and NS: 74.4%, P = 0.91. There was a higher mortality for the postrandomization subgroup of patients who did not receive blood transfusions in the first 24 hours, who received hypertonic fluids compared to NS [28-day mortality-HSD: 10% (5.2; 95% CI, 0.4-10.1); HS: 12.2% (7.4; 95% CI, 2.5-12.2); and NS: 4.8%, P < 0.01]. CONCLUSION: Among injured patients with hypovolemic shock, initial resuscitation fluid treatment with either HS or HSD compared with NS, did not result in superior 28-day survival. However, interpretation of these findings is limited by the early stopping of the trial. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00316017].
Notes & Commentary:
This randomised controlled trial should be the final nail in the coffin for hypertonic saline in the resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock. The study was conducted by the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium - a multicentre clinical trial network of trauma centres and their affiliated emergency medical services. The study was designed to enrol 3726 patients, but was stopped for futility and the possibility of harm in terms of increased mortality in the hypertonic saline sybgroups.
Overall there was no difference in 28-day mortality or any of the reported outcomes. Mortality was 25.6% for the NS group versus 27% for HS and 25.5% for HSD:
The reason for early stopping of the trial is rather tenous. Stopping a trial for "futility" lays a trial open to the vagaries of randomness and assumes that what happened in the enrolled patients was fully representative of the final study cohort. The trial was also stopped because of concern s about possibly increased mortality in a group of patients who did not receive blood transfusions. This was an observation made on a sub-group of patients that had not been identifed a priori and had not reached statistical significance. This is also a post-randomisation variable that has clear potential for interaction with the study intervention. Much of the paper is given over to the post-hoc analysis of this subgroup and presents lots of conjecture but few real conclusions.
The authors also state that the 'The DSMB [data and safety monitoring board] also noted that the setting of an exception to informed consent study warranted an abundance of caution'. Personally I think this a lousy statement that does a disservice to those subjects who did participate in the trial and is contrary to the fundamental ethics of clinical trials. Emergency consent procedures have been developed around the world to allow the study of acute diseases. Clinical trials should be designed and conducted optimally within these structures. It is not appropriate to skew robust clinical trial methodolgy and the interpretation of clinical trial data because of the ethical setting - in fact it is borderline unethical to do so (IMHO).
Anyway - fundamentally the trial is negative and it is unlikely that a large treatment effect was missed due to the early termination. There is no clinical advantage to the resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with hypertonic saline. Whether this has any bearing on the role of HS versus mannitol in the setting of traumatic brain injury with or without hypovolaemia is unclear.

My job is moderately difficult. I deal with thousands of words every day, but most of them don't have more than three syllables. Sure, there are personalities to manage and deadlines to meet, but there's also an hour for lunch and a Keurig machine in the break room.
I play with new toys and read new children's books. The windows face tree-lined streets. I receive samples of YoBaby yogurt and Gerber Puffs, and eat them while enjoying the office's perfect temperature of 73 degrees. It's great when you can be at work and feel like a well-fed toddler living in Southern California.
Mother is a more difficult job. The job description includes pick-ups, drop-offs, playdates, bathing, cooking, wiping, folding, homework-ing, negotiating, peek-a-boo-ing, timeout-ing, I'm counting to three-ing, and don't-make-me-come-up-there-ing. There are also the domestic CEO duties that often fall on mom: bills, doctor's visits, PTA meetings, lawn care and impromptu dishwasher repair needs. The hours are tough. The pay sucks.
Being a mother is a mother of a job. If you've been tuning into the talking heads over the past week, you've heard as much. It started with Hilary Rosen saying stay-at-home mom Ann Romney "hasn't worked a day in her life." The Obama camp denounced it; the First Lady Tweeted about it; the Romney campaign used it to raise money. ("If you're a stay-at-home mom, the Democrats have a message for you: You've never worked a day in your life," read a Romney campaign email titled "War on Moms.") Of course Rosen had to backtrack, later saying, "Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. That's the truth of it."
Actually, that's not the truth of it. Maybe we can't handle the truth: Being a mom—working mom, stay-at-home mom, fill-in-the-blank mom—is not the hardest job in the world. Not even close.
Wait, what? Did he just write that? Oh no he dih-nt. Oh yes he did: Mother is not the most difficult job in the world. Being a parent is a hard job, but it is not the hardest job. If you would like to try a hard job, join the migrant workers in Immokalee, Florida, who pick endless heads of lettuce, tomatoes and onions for the items you order at Taco Bell. Or an inner city schoolteacher faced with flaky parents, busted equipment, and not enough chairs for her entire class. Or a triage medic in Tikrit or Baghdad, stemming the physical damage done by the IEDs. If an Animal Planet or Discovery Channel reality TV crew is following you at your job, chances are your gig is tougher than being a mom.
Being a mother—or a father, for that matter—is neither treacherous nor terrifying. It's not even that time-consuming. If your kids know the songs from Toy Story and The Little Mermaid, your job is not that hard. If you have browsed the throw pillows in Target's home department, your job is not that hard. If you've written a status update in the last 72 hours about how hard your job is, your job is not that hard.
And unlike most professions, mom enjoys a very high popularity rating. The world is your public relations team. Nary a television commercial or Oprah segment passes without someone giving props to Mom.It's like being an astronaut or animal rescuer: You're automatically beloved. Even if you're bad at being a mom, the halo effect still sheds its heavenly light on thee. If a mom were to walk down the street and drop her diaper bag, half a dozen people would rush to her aid. If a dictionary salesman were to walk down the street and drop his box of Websters, someone would walk by and tell him to look up "indifference."
Why is chief female procreational/adoptional domestic engineer getting such excessive lip service these days: Because in this election year, Mom is critical. Whether she's stay-at-home or working, soccer or NASCAR, biological or foster, she must be wooed and won. You won't see a political battle for the support of migrant vegetable pickers or triage medics or Chilean miners or Alaskan crab fishermen. These people can't help you carry Ohio or Pennsylvania.
It may be the most important job. It may be the most critical job. It may be the most underpaid job. But it's not the most difficult.

Every so often I like to bring back a recipe that deserves a little more time in the spotlight. This grilled cheese is an old favorite and I return to it over and over. We all have things that we consider our personal comfort foods and this is one of mine.
The other day I made it when my daughter was at school. I had a few leftover onions in the fridge from dinner and was in the mood for a hearty lunch. I let the onions sweat and caramelize slowly over the stovetop while I fed my son lunch. Then I sandwiched them between two pieces of toasted bread and grilled them until the cheese melted.
This filling sandwich was just what I needed to perk up the cold January day. It was ooey and gooey and filled with French onion flavor, just like my favorite soup! I'll be making this again this winter to be sure.
If you need any more grilled cheese recipes don't forget to check out these ideas! Grilled cheese really is one of the best cold weather comfort foods out there.

WATERTOWN — When police finally cornered and captured suspected Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown on Friday night, residents who had spent most of the day locked in their homes poured into the streets to show their gratitude with loud cheers.
On Saturday, residents of Watertown made that gratitude tangible, flocking in droves to the Main Street headquarters of the Watertown Police Department to drop off food, gifts, and flowers.
"I just needed to thank them," said Watertown resident Elaine Martin, 62, as she placed a bag of oranges on a table weighed down with vases, pizza boxes, lasagna, and cupcakes. "I didn't know what else to do."
Martin ran into Watertown Police Officer Richard Munger on her way out.
"I hope you never have to go through this again," she told him. "You guys did such good work."
Munger said officers at the department are "overwhelmed" by the generosity of the Watertown residents.
"The support from the community has been unbelievable," he said. "We already gave half the stuff away, but everybody keeps coming."
Watertown police were sharing the bounty with other law enforcement officials, including members of the State Police Crime Scene unit.
Brighton resident Emily Suarez brought police a neatly wrapped loaf of homemade pumpkin raisin bread, made from a favorite family recipe.
"They were right there in the face of danger for so many hours," said Suarez, a 21-year-old Boston University student and a line cook at the South End's Hamersley's Bistro. "They're so exhausted, there's no way they should have to go home and cook."
Officers thanked her profusely, she said, and promised to hang her card up on the wall next to the many others that had come in.
"I wrote on the card that I was so thankful to be protected by people like them," Suarez said. "I believe food is comfort. This is the least I could do."
A deliveryman for Domino's Pizza, who was spotted bringing a few pies in from the parking lot, said the chain had sent at least 20 orders to the Watertown police headquarters Saturday, all from grateful residents.
And at the Starbucks on Mount Auburn Street, an employee who answered the phone said callers from Watertown and even other states donated money so police could dine there for free.
For Suarez, it was the steady conduct of police in extreme circumstances that motivated her to come here, pumpkin raisin bread in hand.
"They handled it so professionally and so calmly," she said. "It just makes me very proud."Dan Adams can be reached at email@example.com. Find him on Twitter at @DanielAdams86.

Do I have to change my pad overnight?
It all depends on your flow, but if you put on a fresh pad at bedtime, you probably will be OK until morning. For one thing, you're lying down so gravity is on your side! Because it's best to change tampons every few hours, choose pads instead of tampons for overnight wear. Special overnight pads are available, too, if you want something that will be absorbent enough to get you through until the morning.

- Individuals are deleveraging and we're also going to eventually need to do this collectively (with our public debt), which will happen over the long term, not the short-term
- The US may be headed for long-term slow growth that will impact financial returns, employment, and wages, as well as a further bifurcation between "the haves" and the "have-nots"
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) put out a short piece, Painful Medicine, by Laurence Ball, Daniel Leigh, and Prakash Loungani, about the effect of austerity measures on economies. (This was based on a longer piece of research that the IMF had published.) Ultimately, the authors refute the idea that deficit reduction will lead to stronger growth and job creation in the short run. They are not arguing that deficit reduction is bad or that it won't help in the intermediate to long-term; rather, they are just saying that it will hurt in the short term.
The authors rely on recent IMF research showing that "over the past 30 years, consolidation lowers incomes in the short-term, with wage-earnings take more of a hit than others; it also raises unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment." This paper is significant because, if the authors are right, it tells us that we're heading for a really long period of economic pain. Below, you will find the key ideas from the IMF paper, as well as its charts, and my thoughts at the end.
The Problem
- For advanced economies, there is an unmistakable need to restore fiscal sustainability through credible consolidation plans. See Chart 1, below:
- Public debt has increased in many countries due to the Great Recession: lower income, lower taxes, bailouts and stimulus. Public debt in advanced economies has increased from 70 percent of GDP to approximately 100 percent of GDP. This is the highest level in 50 years. The problems are even more serious due to the aging population.
- Many countries are trying to reduce debt by cutting spending and increasing taxes.
The Evidence
- Over the past 30 years, there have been 173 episodes during which 17 advanced economies undertook budgetary measures aimed at fiscal consolidation.
- The average size of fiscal consolidation was approximately 1 percent of GDP per year.
- Fiscal consolidation raises unemployment and lowers income. See Chart 2, below:
- A fiscal consolidation of 1 percent of GDP reduces inflation-adjusted incomes by about .6 percent and raises the unemployment rate by almost .5 percent within two years.
- Spending by households and firms also declines. There is no evidence of a handoff from the public to private sector.
Reducing the Pain
- The reduction in incomes is even larger if central banks do not or cannot blunt some of the pain through monetary policy. Lowering interest rates supports investment and consumption.
- Unfortunately, in today's market, central banks can do little because rates are already near zero.
- If many countries carry out austerity at same time, the reduction in incomes in each country is likely to be greater, since not all countries can reduce the value of their currency and increase net exports at the same time.
- Simulations show that reduction in incomes may be more than twice as large as that described above when many countries are carrying out consolidations at the same time. The contractionary effect may be greater than historical events.
- Historically, fiscal consolidations based on spending cuts are less painful than those based on tax hikes. But, this has been true because central banks have cut interest rates more after spending cuts.
- Fiscal consolidation may also seem less painful when markets are more concerned about the risk of a government defaulting on its debt. In other words, if a country is tackling its fiscal situation, this can give confidence to investors, consumers and firms and can lead to more spending. But, IMF research shows that these consolidations are still contractionary and there is no evidence of any surge in consumption and investment.
Long-Term Pain
- Fiscal contraction has a bigger impact on long-term unemployment (when an individual is unemployed for longer than six months). While the increase in short-term unemployment ends within three yeas, long-term unemployment remains higher after five years. Fiscal consolidation hurts those who are already suffering. See Chart 3, below:
- Long spells of unemployment reduce the odds of being hired. In the US today, a person unemployed for more than six months has only a one-in-10 chance of being rehired in the next month, compared with a one-in-three chance for a person unemployed less than a month.
- Long-term unemployment also threatens social cohesion. A survey conducted in 69 countries found that an experience with unemployment leads to more negative opinions about the effectiveness of democracy. The effects were more pronounced for the long-term unemployed.
- For every 1 percent of GDP of fiscal consolidation, inflation-adjusted wage income typically shrinks by .9 percent, while inflation-adjusted profit and rents fall by only .3 percent. Also, while the decline in wage income persists over time, the decline in profits and rents is short-lived. See Chart 4, below:
- Possible reasons for this include the fact that austerity plans often call for public sector wage cuts and consolidations that also increase unemployment.
The Bottom Line
- We should have realistic expectations about short-term consequences of fiscal consolidation. It is likely to lower incomes (hitting wage-earners more than others), raise unemployment (particularly longer-term unemployment) and will slow growth.
- The potential benefits of consolidation are longer-term: reducing interest rates and lightening the burden of interest payments, permitting cuts to distortionary taxes (those that discourage desirable behavior).
- We need to approve fiscal measures now that will kick in to reduce deficits in the future. We need to link retirement age to life expectancy and improve the efficiency of entitlement programs.
- In countries like the US (where unemployment is at high levels and long-term unemployment is at alarming levels), there is a need for policies to spur job creation and increase consumer confidence, including measures such as mortgage relief for distressed homeowners.
- Fiscal consolidation plans should also spell out how policies would respond to shocks, such as slower growth than planned. Fiscal plans succeed when they permit "some flexibility" while credibly preserving the medium-term consolidation objectives.
My Thoughts
I believe the authors are spot-on…we're headed for significant pain. Government spending is a significant part of our GDP. It's going to impact our growth when we cut government spending. And when we increase our taxes, that's money that individuals won't be spending. Individuals are deleveraging and we're also going to eventually need to do this collectively (with our public debt). This isn't a problem that is going to be solved in the next few years.
REMEMBER: this study explains what happens when we have fiscal consolidation that is 1 percent of GDP. Our fiscal gap is closer to 8 percent of GDP. I believe that we're headed for long-term slow growth that will impact financial returns, employment, and wages. I also believe that we're headed for a time in which we see a further bifurcation between "the haves" and the "have-nots." This isn't a short-term economic cycle. It's going to be a long-term economic reality. The "new normal" should be called the "ugly new normal."
