A glucagonoma is an unusual growth of the alpha tissues of the pancreas that multiply up to a 1000-fold overproduction of the hormonal glucagon. Alpha cell cancers are generally linked with glucagonoma problem, though similar signs are present in situations of pseudoglucagonoma problem in the lack of a glucagon-secreting growth.
This kind of growth is usually cancer that usually propagates and becomes more serious over time. Glucagonoma impacts the pancreatic islet tissues, resulting in them to generate too much glucagon.
Risk aspects of glucagonoma include the following:
In situations of dangerous glucagonoma, there are several treatments still available:
The causes of glucagonoma are presently unidentified.
In most situations it is alleged that genetics play a powerful part. Having close relatives with several hormonal neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is also considered as being a threat factor.
Testing for glucagonoma may include:
This rare type of cancer treatment cost depends on the stage it has been diagnosed at. The cost varies from hospital to hospital.

From a former State Rep.. on the Speakers authority
AS A former reform-minded state representative, one of my pet peeves is how the media can create a perception among the public that their individual lawmakers are at the mercy of House speakers when it comes to legislative business, and that there is nothing these individual legislators can do.
A case in point is the March 13 story about the legislative staff pay raises and promotions by the outgoing and incoming speakers (Page A1). The reporter wrote, "The House speaker has absolute authority to hire, promote, or grant pay raises." The fact is, a speaker can only do what a majority of legislators allow him to do. Any House member can question the actions by Salvatore DiMasi and Robert DeLeo, and if he or she can obtain the support of a majority, such actions can not only be undone, but more important, the speaker's "absolute authority" can be curbed or eliminated.
Media reports highlighting a speaker's authority mislead the public into believing their representatives share no blame for a speaker's action. The representatives are happy with this because it allows them to duck their individual responsibility.
Anyone who is outraged at these latest shenanigans by the former and current speaker should contact their representative and demand that he or she initiate legislative action to stop such actions.
Frank Jakubowicz, Pittsfield
Something to consider, as we make changes for the future. But as most of you know already, change has to happen at the rep level.

Have you ever seen that category on your flight results page, that shows ticket prices of 9, 10, or even 11,000.00 and thought "Who the hell would pay for that?" I have. Well ladies and gents, with a stroke of luck, I managed to snag one of these seats and I'm here to tell you what you really get when flying first class International
When it comes to travel, airfare can be one of the largest expenses. With International flights ranging anywhere from 700.00 all the way up to 2,500.00 airfare can really be a hit to your overall budget. If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of time searching for the cheapest transportation options so that you can make the most of you budget, and to not be limited on your actual trip.
As I mentioned before, I'm always looking for the cheapest way to fly. I'm lucky enough to have a relative who works for a major airline and I am able to fly standby using a limited amount of passes given to employees for friends and family. I am required to pay some fees and taxes but the overall price of the tickets is considerably less.
There are some downsides to flying standby. There can be a lot of people ahead of you on the standby list, and if the flight is full you can be bumped to the next flight's standby list. This can cause you to spend lot of times sitting in airports waiting. With international flights it is even more risky because often times, there is only one non stop flight per day, causing you to miss an entire day of your trip.
Having said that, there are some upsides. The obvious reduction in rate is one, but the other is that you can be given a first class ticket if there are a lot of seats open. On my most recent trip I flew from London Heathrow to Chicago O'hare, and I was given one of these seats.
The first perk, is obviously boarding the plane first, and not having to fight for your overhead bin space. Upon getting on the flight, the stewardess checks your seat, and directs you to the left. The opening to this area is off center from the opening to the economy area, so you can't see from one into the other.
I won't lie, I was expecting that area you walk through before getting to economy where there are only two seats next to each other (instead of three) and you have four inches more of leg room.
Instead I was presented with around 20 individual seats that each had an abundance of leg room, and an extra seat across from you that could be used as a foot rest. I am 5'11, and there was so much space my feet barely reached the foot rest/seat from a neutral seat position. (This never happens. Usually I can't fit my knees in the seat. A nice change I must say.)
Each pod includes its own overhead bin, and a large amount of under-the-seat space. Upon sitting down you are offered a choice of orange juice, champagne, or water. I chose the orange juice since it was 7:45am. I had only gotten two hours of sleep the night before so I was happy find the comfy pillow-pocket comforter and real pillow.
The stewardess let us know that she had both pajamas and slippers available for anyone who wanted to change. (There is also a dress code with flying standby so that you look presentable if you fly first class.)
At your seat you have a travel bag that included the following items:
- toothbrush
- toothpaste
- mouthwash
- lotion
- a pen
- ear plugs
- tissues
- a sleep mask
- socks
- headphone covers
You are also offered Bose headphones for the duration of the flight, to watch your personal tv. On your TV, you can choose from movies, tv shows (including HBO), music, games, or the flight path map. You can even watch a video explaining the features of your pod, which I did watch. Your station also has an extensive menu.
The seat is operated by a key pad that is not unlike the ones on massage chairs. (No massager in this chair though.) There is a level on the left side or your seat that allows you to swivel your chair towards the foot rest and recline it. In addition to the seat/foot rest in front of your, your chair has a foot rest that raises up. Your seat can then move forward and recline to a flat bed.
You also have the option to adding lumbar support using the keypad. In addition to all this, if you keep your chair in the neutral position you can swivel it towards a work desk.
When I was halfway done with my orange juice, the stewardess offered to top me off with some champagne. Yes please. She then came around, pulled out my table and laid down a table cloth. I was served a fruit cup, with a large serving of a yogurt/fruit parfait with a crumble, and a croissant with butter and raspberry jelly.
Your pod has a divider to allow privacy if there is someone in the pod next to you. However, if you are traveling with the person next to you, you can lower the divider so that you may sit together. In addition to that, the seat/foot rest has a seatbelt, so if you are traveling with four people, two people can come over and eat with you.
I watched the movie Taken 3, and before I knew it they were taking my entree order. I ordered the Belgian waffle bread pudding with creme anglaise and raspberry compote. It was on a real plate, and it was delicious.
I reclined my chair to the "Bed mode" and was able to sleep for a few hours. When I woke up I was given a dessert/cheese plate, warm nuts, and later a warm chocolate chip cookie. I watched a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory, and before I knew it we were only 25 minutes from landing.
I can't say that this ticket was worth 11,000.00, mainly because if I had 11,000.00 I would spend it on multiple trips, but I can say that it was definitely worth the price I paid for it, and if you have air miles or points, I highly recommend trying it once. I can see why people pay the money for those luxuries on an 8 hour flight.I could fly international every day of the week under those conditions!
Have you ever flown first class International?

The Phosgene Kid
I'm on a roll now....
$15,000 and feels pretty good about the results. On her way home, she
stops at a newsstand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to
the clerk, "I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?"
"About 32," is the reply.
"Nope! I'm exactly 50," the woman says happily.
A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter
girl the very same question.
The girl replies, "I'd guess about 29."
The woman replies with a big smile, "Nope, I'm 50."
Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops in a drug store
on her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to get some
mints and asks the clerk this burning question.
The clerk responds, "Oh, I'd say 30."
Again she proudly responds, "I'm 50, but thank you!"
While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next
to her the same question.
He replies, "Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I
was young, there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It
sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra.
Then, and only then can I tell you EXACTLY how old you are."
They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the
best of her. She finally blurts out, "What the hell, go ahead."
He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around
very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast. He
pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.
After a couple of minutes of this, she says, "Okay, okay...How old am I?"
He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and
says, "Madam, you are 50."
Stunned and amazed, the woman says, "That was incredible, how could you tell?"
The old man says, "Promise you won't get mad?"
"I promise I won't." she says.
"I was behind you in line at McDonald's."

Girls Night Out
Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out. Both were very
Faithful and loving wives, but they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers.
Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped in the cemetery.
One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take
off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a
rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them. She
was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath
with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to wipe with that.
After the girls did their business they proceeded to go home.
The next day one of the women's husbands was concerned that his
normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he
phoned the other husband and said, "These girl nights have got to
stop! I'm starting to suspect the worst.. My wife came home with no panties!!
"That's nothing" said the other husband, "Mine came back with a
card stuck to her ass that said..... "From all of us at the Fire
Station. We'll never forget you."

Joe's Stone Crab


text:
By Erik Newlin, director, National Standards Consulting, Government Healthcare Solutions, Xerox
"Rules are meant to be broken." We've all heard this line, and, while it always seemed like the interesting and fun route to take, it's rarely the right decision – especially in business and in government. Rules are in place for a reason, and when millions of people (and dollars) are on the line, compliance is a must.
In the government healthcare world, this notion could not be truer. Complying with HIPAA Operating Rules, MAGI and ICD-10 may not be fun, but it's also not negotiable. Whether states choose to expand Medicaid or not, they'll have to update their systems in order to comply with the new rules outlined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Systems and the ACA. Failure to comply will hit states hard in their pocketbooks.
ICD-10 may seem especially un-fun. In fact, it's seen by some as being potentially apocalyptic – a highly complicated technology issue that could have devastating effects, and the migration to ICD-10 is getting a lot of industry attention for both its benefits and its challenges. According to a February 2013 survey by the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI), a private and public industry authority on the use of health IT, provider readiness appears to be the major concern in meeting the 2014 compliance deadline. And, generally, moving to ICD-10 is seen as a highly complicated technology issue.
Xerox, though, estimates that the technology component represents only about 20 percent of a shift to ICD-10. The other 80 percent is about business readiness. Health plans of all kinds – Medicaid and commercial – need to focus on collaborating with providers to open good lines of communication and on ensuring every step of an ICD-10 transition is led by an effective business continuity strategy. Done right, that strategy will drive the technology delivery. And that may include some variation of dual processing for ICD-9 and ICD-10 (a "step up-step down" mechanism or running both systems in parallel) during a set period of time. This would result in significantly lower disruptions to the healthcare market in its entirety, and might offer the single most viable business continuity strategy a health plan could deploy.
It's human nature to resist compliance, but, when it comes to government healthcare, compliance is the right thing to do. The system will run more smoothly, large fines will be avoided, and some sections of the ACA even estimate that compliance will lower the cost of doing business for all providers.
Erik Newlin always tries to do the right thing, including speaking about Medicaid compliance at the 22nd Annual WEDI National Conference in Las Vegas, 13 – 16 May.

Yann Martel is the author of The High Mountains of Portugal and Life of Pi, the #1 international bestseller and winner of the 2002 Man Booker (among many other prizes). He is also the award-winning author ofThe Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios (winner of the Journey Prize), Self, Beatrice & Virgil, and 101 Letters to a Prime Minister. Born in Spain in 1963, Martel studied philosophy at Trent University, worked at odd jobs—tree planter, dishwasher, security guard—and traveled widely before turning to writing. He lives in Saskatoon, Canada, with the writer Alice Kuipers and their four children.
A conversation with the Man Booker Prize-winning novelist.
Allegorical fiction can take very complex realities and convey them in powerful, emotional, psychologically accurate way.
The major religions have all had their excesses, but there's something about spiritual thinking that augments a life.
Martel never bases his characters on real people—they're always a vehicle for something he wants to express.
A tiny germ of an idea leads to research, which leads to further ideas and then more research. Eventually the writer has hundreds of pages of notes to work from.
There's no formula to writing. The key thing is simply to read, says the novelist. "The best teacher is a cheap, little Penguin classic."
When your novel gets a negative review, "it's your entire being that is negated. And that hurts." But you have to learn to let it go.
What can be done to make boys and young men more interested in reading books?
Why has the "Life of Pi" author been sending novels to the Canadian prime minister?

Mechanisms of microalgae blooming in continental water ecosystems: ecophysiological approaches, mathematical simulation and space-borne monitoringProject ID: INTAS-1997-00519

Mechanisms of microalgae blooming in continental water ecosystems: ecophysiological approaches, mathematical simulation and space-borne monitoring
Gesamtkosten:Nicht verfügbar
EU-Beitrag:EUR 120 000
Koordiniert in:Spain
Thema(en):4 - Life Sciences
Microalgal blooming in lakes and reservoirs that has become a problem of international importance will be subject to a comprehensive investigation by hydrobiologists of different countries. The final applied result of complete resolution of this problem is to understand the mechanisms of blooming to the extent that would allow to control the occurrence of blooms in particular waterbodies The major goal of the project is to comprehensively investigate the mechanisms of blooming of microalgae in inland water bodies on the basis of mutually complementing experiments performed on mesotrophic water bodies (Russia - Shira lake, Spain - freshwater Embalse de Santillana) and Lake Zurich (Switzerland). The lakes have been chosen as models of aquatic ecosystem prevailed by biological processes entailing blooming. The investigation of basic mechanisms that cause outbreaks of phytoplankton blooms and their role in exciting and sustaining blooming is a fundamental priority problem of water ecology.
Since the key mechanisms can belong to different hierarchical levels, the scientific program includes: experimental mechanisms of blooming of dominant algal species;
- investigation of population interaction of algae, zooplankton and bacteria;
- flow chart of energy and matter in water ecosystems indicated - a prognostication model of dynamics of blooming, hydrological components (3-D currents) and hydrochemical components based on these observations and experiments--the proof of adequacy of mathematical modelling by comparing computer maps of blooming with pictures from satellites and observed data. Participants of the project have been organized in accordance of these topics.
Expected results:
1) experimental kinetics and peculiarities of each mechanism of blooming of microalgae;
2) adequate ecological-hydrophysical model of Shira lake ecosystem with emphasis on blooming dynamics modelling;
3) adaptation of this model to modelling the blooming in European water bodies reservoir Embalse de Santillana (Spain) and mesotrophic Lake Zurich (Switzerland);
4) verification of the model on the basis of satellite information about surface distribution of chlorophyll; 5) scenario calculations and making efficient recommendations to reduce blooming. The obtained results will be published in high-ranking scientific journals and in popular-science literature, including mass media.

Between 10pm Christmas Eve and 9am Christmas morning, Texas television station TXA21 broadcast a burning Yule log accompanied by Christmas music. Throughout its run, a large number of viewers tuned in to the virtual fireplace. During its final 30 minutes, an average of 28,405 viewers chose to watch a burning log over everything else, which beat the last 15 minutes of "CBS This Morning" on CBS11.

ORGANIZER: Lauren
Lauren Hurley wrote -
Hi Everyone! I am a volunteer currently working at an all girls orphanage in Hyderabad, India. The orpahange was very recently built and still needs many things in the way of making it a home for 23 and counting wonderful and beautiful young girls. Many of these girls are rescued from domestic slavery or the streets and from many of the stories I have heard they have not had much in the way of a childhood. Money raised for the organization goes toward essentials...Education, Food, Clothing, Medical etc. So it is my hope that while I am here I can raise enough money to build the girls a playground in their yard and outfit their study room with a few desks, a blackboard, and other school supplies. The reality right now is that the girls currently play rocks, sticks, and two jump ropes and even the smallest things, like glue, are precious. The school room is empty. It is just a room they can use to do school work. So, while I am here it is my greatest hope to see the little ones play as children should. And for them to have the small things all young girls, who are very happy and serious about their eduacation, should have. Thank you with peace and gratitude. Lauren

Close your eyes for a minute and visualize your living room. Chances are you can picture all the furniture there.
But can you remember what`s on the end tables? Are you able to list everything that`s hanging on the walls? Do you have enough information at your fingertips to adequately identify that old mantle clock on the library table? And if you think remembering what`s in the living room is difficult, how would you fare with the kitchen? Or the children`s rooms?

LONDON – The leading Conservative candidate to succeed David Cameron as prime minister has pledged to unify her divided party and country behind a negotiated British exit from the European Union.
Home Secretary Theresa May, who holds a strong lead over four party rivals ahead of Tuesday's initial leadership ballot, says she can bridge the gulf between ardent opponents and supporters of EU membership.
May officially supported Cameron's pro-EU efforts but avoided campaigning herself. She argued Sunday this relative neutrality would help her build consensus between the 17 million who voted for a British exit, or "Brexit," and the 16 million who voted to remain in the June 23 referendum.
May said: "I've been clear that Brexit means Brexit. What we need to do is to bring those two sides together."

Our Lady Peace - Heavyweight
Raine Maida & Co. return with their first album in three years. They've hit a period of distinct mediocrity for the last decade, but here's hoping this one's a step back to what they do well. I like the rock feel of this track, so I'm optimistic about the rest of the album. Didn't really care for the video but give it a watch.

Caine's Arcade
Stories like this shine small rays of hope on an otherwise despairingly gloomy future for humanity. Ever wonder why there are no feel-good stories about people at the top of the food chain?

High Flight
The poem by John Magee, from an old television sign-off video.
And since we're on the topic of poetry, this is my favorite narration of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", voiced by Christopher Lee.

Disturbing police footage
I'm not really a fan of everyone having video cameras on their cell phones. It all just seems a bit excessive and overly voyeuristic. When you see footage like this, however, you think that maybe it's a good idea. I don't really know where I stand. What I do know, however, is that there are a lot of good police officers out there who really need to stand up to their asshole coworkers because these shitty cops are giving you all a bad name. Warning: very disturbing footage inside.

Rex Murphy on the F-35 controversy
Sorry, been away longer than expected. Expect consistent updates for the next couple weeks before I'm on the road again.
The latest furor in the media has been the F-35 issue. I think I've given my stance on this topic many times before but here's Mr. Murphy's opinion. I wholeheartedly agree with every word.
