Drive Through Mastectomy
I've heard that insurance companies are trying to rush inpatient care. Is that going to happen to me?
Maggie Hampshire, RN, BSN, OCN of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Over the last ten years, public anger has been evoked over the move toward outpatient care after breast cancer surgery. The outrage has been expressed by policyholders over the efforts of insurance companies trying to reduce the costs of inpatient care. The medical community has responded by gathering evidence through various studies, which prove that shorter hospital stays may be possible. Nurses have quickly tried to develop new outpatient teaching programs to fill in the gaps before and after surgery. They have identified educational needs for women undergoing outpatient breast surgery and formulated nursing roles to meet these needs. However, patients have voiced their opinion in the form of a public outcry. Under heavy pressure from their constituents lawmakers are being forced to act.
Grass roots advocates, including breast cancer survivors, cite the unfeeling attitude of insurers who would think of sending a woman home to cope physically and emotionally so soon after losing a breast to cancer. This past year, with much help from the women's health lobbyists such as the National Breast Cancer Coalition, "drive-through mastectomy" will be a topic facing state legislatures. More than 80 bills on this topic were introduced in state legislatures in the first two months of the 1997 legislative sessions alone.
On an individual state level, New Jersey Senate has passed a bill that would require health insurance companies to cover a minimum of a 2-day hospital stay following a simple mastectomy and 72 hours following a modified radical mastectomy. The bill also would prevent insurance companies from requiring a doctor to obtain authorization before prescribing the 72 or 48 hours if he or she feels it is medically necessary for the patient.
As yet, there have been no hearings on this topic on the national level; however, One lawmaker's experience after breast cancer surgery may push government officials to force the issue. Louise V. Snodgrass, a Republican representative from Maryland, told the Senate Finance Committee that minutes after her breast surgery, hospital nurses asked if she was ready to go home. She was devastated.
Politicians are working on bills that would put a stop to this national trend. The House of Representatives has approved legislation that would end the practice of "drive-through" mastectomies. This measure, "The Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act" (H.R. 135), would require insurance companies to provide at least 48 hours of inpatient hospital care following a mastectomy and a minimum of 24 hours following a lymph node dissection for the treatment of breast cancer. The proposal allows for shorter hospital stays if a woman and her physician agree. The legislation also requires insurance companies to pay for hospital stays longer than 48 hours if the patient and/or doctor feel it is necessary. This legislation was introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), and Rep. Marge Roukema (R-NJ) It was passed on to the House Commerce Committee and its Subcommittee on Health and the Environment, as well as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and its Subcommittee on Employer-Employee Relations.
Public support is needed in order to make sure that this bill becomes a law.
At OncoLink, we feel that this issue goes far beyond mastectomies. Our concern is that by establishing a precedent for such "drive through procedures" it will be possible to apply such care to less politically-charged cancer treatments. Although few will argue against measures that will effectively cut costs of cancer care, there are certainly immesurable costs that need to be considered. Among others, these include the real-dollar cost to family and friends who must miss work in order to physically care for their loved ones at home. But more importantly, no price tag can be placed on the emotional expense to these patients and their families left to cope on their own with the mental and spiritual burden of breast cancer.

Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte Bobcats assistant Patrick Ewing has center Al Jefferson's ear
Patrick Ewing cringes at the perception he's "just" a big-man coach.
No one enjoys being pigeon-holed, but Ewing is an accomplished big-man coach. He tutored Yao Ming in Houston and Dwight Howard in Orlando. And he played 17 NBA seasons, averaging 21 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks.
Ewing hasn't played since 2002, but players remember. That's one of the reasons center Al Jefferson, the most prominent free agent in Charlotte Bobcats history, chose to sign here.
"I knew about what Patrick Ewing did for Dwight Howard – a major impact. I knew that working with him was my chance to bring my defensive game to another level,'' said Jefferson, whose defense has been frequently criticized over a nine-season career.
"Pat said that for me to get the respect I deserve, I have to pick my defense up. And I have the tools to do it. He can have that impact on me."
Ewing has gravitas. He was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history. That gives him a head start toward credibility, which coach Steve Clifford believes is a prerequisite to accomplishing anything in the NBA.
"Coaching in this league is all about credibility. There are different ways to establish that, but these guys are fans and (Ewing and fellow assistant Mark Price) were terrific players,'' Clifford said.
"That's the start. The thing with those two guys, though, is their true credibility is once you get to know them: It's clear they can help'' players improve.
That Ewing has Jefferson thinking defense underlines Clifford's point. Jefferson has never played in an All-Star Game. Ewing was an 11-time All-Star. Jefferson has reached the playoffs twice so far. Ewing's teams were in the playoffs 14 times, including the 1994 Finals.
So Ewing has Jefferson's attention on a team where Jefferson's productivity at both ends should be crucial to the Bobcats' performance the next few seasons. He's happy about that. But that "big-man coach" label chafes.
"I don't see myself as just a big-man coach. I see myself as a coach," Ewing said Saturday after practice at UNC Asheville. "Center is the position I played, but I can offer advice to anyone on the court: The point guard to the 2-guard to the center."
Ewing has coached in the NBA for about a decade, working for Doug Collins in Washington, Jeff Van Gundy in Houston and Stan Van Gundy in Orlando. He and Clifford were assistants together in Houston and Orlando.
Ewing is associate head coach on Clifford's staff. One of the reasons these two work well together is a shared belief that if a team stresses offense over defense or defense over offense, you're not going to be very good.
"We come from the same school of thought. We both worked for the Van Gundys and a lot of what they believe in, we believe in," Ewing said.
Ewing would love to be a head coach. He sees himself as an amalgam of basketball knowledge, from John Thompson to Hubie Brown to Pat Riley to the Van Gundys.
And, yes, he knows his playing history makes it easier to teach what he knows.
"They know that everything they're going through and will go through, I went through: Two-a-day practices, ups-and-downs of the season," Ewing said. "They know I'm somebody who's done it."

Hey guys - it's time for another open discussion: ice baths (or water immersion)
I was curious to get everyone's opinion on the topic because it seems ice baths are still very popular with some tennis players and coaches. I'm really interested with the details behind it, since scientists opinions are so spread out. Some say it's physical, some others say it's psychological and other say it is placebo.
Personally, I need to experiment and read more about it this week. I will let you know what I find!
What about you guys?

I've read somewhere that Tim P & Coach V use it only to keep their beers cold. Any other opinions? lol
Haha! Ice is a primary ingredient for me to ingest tons of soda. Or I shall feel sick inside.
I have never, ever taken an ice bath. How would it help my aging lower back??
That is for you to find out! Some players use it after intense training to eventually augment blood flow to muscles that were over-solicited.
I have never taken a complete ice bath, but using the ice dip procedure from the tendonitis expert cured my tennis elbow/ tendonitis and made me stronger than ever. I use a cold finish shower after I play and it helps keep the tightness and soreness to a minimum. Try it for yourself. It cant hurt and it will help. Janko Tipsarevic and his ice bath recovery session.
I am familiar with cold showers... I'm curious about the science behind cold water immersion vs physical recovery at this point. I am still looking for in depth data about the subject.
What a picture! Looks like he's either meditating, or enduring the cold with his chin up.

Dear Colleague Letter: Guidance on Submission of RAPID Proposals to ENG, CISE, and OISE on the 2011 Earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand
This document has been archived.
Dr. Subra Suresh, Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), has issued a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) concerning the acceptance of proposals to conduct research on the effects of the February 21, 2011 magnitude 6.3 South Island of New Zealand (Christchurch) earthquake, and the March 11, 2011 magnitude 9.0 earthquake near the East Coast of Honshu (Tohoku), Japan with the ensuing tsunami and nuclear power plant crises. In response to this, the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), the Directorate for Engineering (ENG), and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) are issuing this letter to provide context and clarification for the types of proposals for investigatory research being entertained, together with guidance on the process to submit proposals to these specific directorates. Researchers interested in submitting proposals to other directorates or offices should contact cognizant NSF program officers directly.
The number of awards made by CISE, ENG, and OISE will depend on the quality of the proposals received and the availability of funds. For timely consideration, proposals should be submitted electronically via the NSF FastLane system by Friday, April 29, 2011. It is anticipated that the majority of awards will not exceed $50,000.
Proposals must conform to the guidelines for preparation of Rapid Response Research (RAPID) proposals as specified in the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 11-1. As noted in the PAPPG, the RAPID funding mechanism is used for proposals having a severe urgency with regard to availability of, or access to data, facilities or specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events. RAPID proposals should explore hypothesis-driven research, seek to advance a specific body of scientific literature, and discuss the urgency to gather perishable data needed for the hypothesis-driven research.
Topics appropriate for RAPID proposals may include, but are not limited to, the following for the collection of perishable field data:
Tsunami generation, run-up, and impact on the natural and built environments.
Geotechnical systems performance, with appropriate site characterization and documentation of liquefaction, lateral spreading, differential settlement, subsidence, landslides, soil/structure interaction, and port and coastal regions.
Structural and nonstructural systems performance, including buildings, bridges, dams, communication towers, water towers, industrial units, and other components of civil infrastructure systems; techniques for rapid, large-scale condition assessment of buildings and infrastructure; sensor-based tracking and monitoring of structural performance.
Critical infrastructure/lifeline systems performance (e.g., water and food supply, housing, wastewater, power, communications, transportation, health care delivery, and banking and finance).
Geotechnical, structural, nonstructural, and critical infrastructure systems performance studies using George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) mobile field equipment (http://www.nees.org). Proposers planning to use NEES mobile equipment will need to include in their proposal submission, the equipment schedule and budget for equipment and personnel deployment, and will be responsible for obtaining any required field permits.
Emergency preparedness, response and relief: use of imagery and sensor-based technologies for rapid post-event damage assessment; coordination of and technologies such as robots and organizational processes for search and rescue; tsunami risk communication and warnings; individual, household, organizational, and community preparedness and response; provision of temporary shelters and housing; supply chain and delivery of international aid; post-event risk communication; emergency preparedness and response for nuclear facility disaster; risk communication for nuclear accidents; and public protective action for nuclear disasters.
Given the international dimension, proposals should address access to expertise, facilities, and resources at the New Zealand or Japanese sites. Given the scale and extensive physical damage associated with these events, proposers should include a detailed research plan that incorporates specific plans for country entry and logistics for data collection. Whenever feasible, the proposed research should involve true intellectual collaboration with counterparts in New Zealand or Japan. Inclusion of a letter of collaboration and biographical sketches from foreign partners is strongly recommended. The awardee is responsible for obtaining required visas for foreign travel and research permits and clearances. Additionally, proposers should include in the proposal budget, travel costs for one trip to the Arlington, VA, area to present the results of their RAPID research at a workshop open to the public. The workshop is anticipated to be held in one year.
Data are collected and are often stored by individual field investigators, making access by others difficult. NSF requires all proposals (including RAPIDs) include a Data Management Plan of up to two pages that describes how the proposal will conform to NSF policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results. Specific instructions for completion of this section of the proposal is provided in PAPPG, Part I, Chapter II.2.j.
The National Science Foundation is one of the four agencies participating in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). NSF also participates in the Wind and Seismic Effects Panel of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR). RAPID awardees may be asked to share and/or coordinate their activities, as relevant, with activities for post-earthquake investigations organized under the auspices of NEHRP and UJNR. RAPID awardees conducting post-tsunami surveys/reconnaissance may also be asked to share and/or coordinate their activities, with those organized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and/or UNESCO, e.g., the International Tsunami Survey Team (ITST).
Awardees are expected to adhere to U.S. Department of State guidance regarding travel and stay in Japan and New Zealand:
- U.S. Department of State, Travel to Japan - Country Specific Information (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1148.html)
- U.S. Department of State, Travel to New Zealand - Country Specific Information (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_984.html)
Prior to submitting the proposal, Principal Investigator(s) (PI(s)) must contact the NSF Program Officer whose program is most germane to the proposal topic. The cognizant Program Officers for this opportunity are as follows:
- Dr. Sajal Das, Networking Technology and Systems, CISE, firstname.lastname@example.com
- Dr. Richard Fragaszy, Geotechnical Engineering, ENG, firstname.lastname@example.com
- Dr. Thomas Henderson, Robust Intelligence, CISE, firstname.lastname@example.com

Hedge fund manager David Einhorn delivered a big presentation on why Apple needs to stop being so conservative with its giant pile of cash yesterday.
He was fairly convincing! He made a good case for Apple to try an "innovative" new markets product that he calls, "iPrefs."
They're not actually new or innovative. But, you could argue that the iPod wasn't new or innovative. It was just a better MP3 player.
The iPref is just preferred stock, a security that delivers a perpetual dividend. He gave them a silly name to be more Apple-y. Einhorn believes they are a more creative way to return money to shareholders. He also believes they could unlock billions in value for Apple.
Whether or not iPrefs are a good idea is open for debate. And it seems like Einhorn has had the debate with Apple's management.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has said he would take a look at Einhorn's proposal. But, he also called Einhorn's lawsuit against Apple a silly sideshow. He says that Apple's "proposal 2," which is what Einhorn is suing Apple about doesn't stop Apple from doing what Einhorn wants.
In fact, Cook says proposal two is actually better for shareholders because it takes away power from Apple's management. If Apple wants to do anything radical, like iPrefs, then it needs approval from shareholders. Right now, under Apple's current governance, it could just issued iPrefs without shareholder approval.
In Einhorn's call, he didn't deny this was true. Instead, he tried to change the conversation around proposal 2.
Einhorn has made proposal 2 into a giant referendum on Apple's cash management. He wants all shareholders who would like to see Apple do something other than pile up cash to vote against proposal 2. (Yes, Apple has approved some dividends and buybacks, but not enough for Einhorn.)
Now, what's interesting about this is that it's feels like a sneaky move. Because, if what Cook says is right — prop 2 would give shareholders rights — then voting against prop 2 is a way for shareholders to feel like their voicing their opinion while at the same time taking away their rights in the long term.
Einhorn said on the call that people could vote next year for better governance. He thinks Apple is being sneaky bundling a lot of stuff into this one vote.
Regardless of who is right, Einhorn has set up a big showdown with Apple's management. If shareholders want to see Apple get more creative with its cash, they can vote on it February 27 at the shareholder's meeting.

Fox's Gallagher Ignores Fox Colleague: Americans Oppose GOP Efforts To Defund Obamacare
Fox News' Trace Gallagher cited a poll showing 54 percent of Americans don't like Obamacare as a reason to back the Republican plan to shut down the federal government if the law is not defunded. Gallagher's analysis is at odds with multiple polls cited earlier the same day by his Fox colleague Gregg Jarrett that showed a majority of Americans do not support Republican defunding efforts.
On September 20, House Republicans passed a continuing resolution that would defund the Affordable Care Act (ACA) but continue to fund the government. Senate Republicans have criticized the plan, with Richard Burr of North Carolina describing it as "the dumbest idea I've ever heard of."
On the September 20 edition of Studio B with Shepard Smith, guest host Trace Gallagher said during an interview with The Hill's managing editor, Bob Cusack, "[T]hey're not just a bunch of nutty House members up there voting for this thing. I mean look, 54 percent, the latest polls show 54 percent of Americans are against Obamacare, so the House is at least fighting for the majority of Americans."
But Gallagher ignored polls showing that a majority of Americans oppose the Republican effort to defund Obamacare -- a fact made clear during an earlier Fox News segment. During that segment, Fox News host Gregg Jarrett advised Monica Crowley that he had "looked at three different polls today. They all say the same thing. That is, as unpopular -- and it is -- as Obamacare is, they don't want the government shut down because of a defunding effort."
An August poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 percent of Americans disapprove of cutting off funding "as a way to stop the law from being implemented, a finding that has been consistent in Kaiser Health Tracking Polls since January 2011."
Furthermore, the conservative Heritage Foundation found that 52 percent of Americans believe implementation of the law should move forward, as reported by Salon's Alex Seitz-Wald:
[E]ven this push poll that dramatically oversamples Republicans (more on that in a minute) finds respondents are more likely to say that the Affordable Care Act should be kept than scrapped -- and that a plurality would blame Republicans if the government were to shut down.
Only 44.5 percent "oppose the health care law and think it should be repealed," while 52 percent either support the law as is or have some concerns, but say they think implementation should move forward. And asked whom they would blame if "there was an impasse between president Obama and Congress on whether to continue to fund the health care law, and that impasse resulted in a partial government shutdown," the top response (28 percent) was Republicans in Congress. The next option, Obama, got 21 percent of respondents.
Gallagher's dishonest reading of the American public's attitude toward defunding the Affordable Care Act is the latest example of Fox's dishonest characterization of the House vote to defund the law, which FoxNews.com recently described as a vote "to keep government open."

Anna Marie Weber, 104, of Easton, formerly of Gilbert, passed away Jan. 19, 2013, at Old Orchard Health Care Center in Easton.
Anna Marie was the loving wife of the late John J. Weber, who passed away in February 1981.
She was born in New York City, N.Y., on April 5, 1908, and was the daughter of the late Dennis and Marie (Warner) Mitchell.
She attended Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gilbert, and was a member of Fairview Senior Citizens in Brodheadsville.
Anna worked most of her life in New York City, N.Y., as a receptionist and switchboard operator for Fisher Radio, Revlon Cosmetics on Fifth Avenue, and the United Nations and Merkel Meats, until her retirement.
After her retirement, she moved to Gilbert and, still full of life and in her 80s, started working at her daughter's store, Anna's Chocolate Factory in Effort. She had spent her time as a sales clerk working several days a week from 1986 to 2005. She was 96 years old when she officially retired.
Her friendly, outgoing personality, and her great sense of humor drew us to her like a magnet. Her favorite quote was, "Age is a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it don't matter."
She enjoyed and treasured being around children and for many years, she was Mrs. Claus at Santa's Workshop at Carriage House Square in Effort.
We give thanks as we remember Anna's love for us and how her presence has shaped our lives.
She will be deeply missed by her loving daughters: Dolores McNamara of Southington, Conn., and Mary Ann Kwant and her husband, Arthur, of Effort. She was a warm and gentle grandmother to her three grandchildren: Kevin McNamara of Boston, Mass.; Kristofer Kwant of Orefield, and Sean Kwant and his wife, Wendy of Myrtle Beach, S.C., who lovingly called her "Grammy."
Anna is also survived by five great-grandchildren: Nicholas and Joseph of Orefield, and Kylie, Andrew Jared "AJ" and Carson of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and several nieces and nephews.
Anna was preceded in death by her sisters, Dorothy, Agnes, Ethel and Susan and one brother, Robert.
Friends and family are welcome to offer their condolences from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Donald N. Gower Funeral Home Inc., Route 209, Gilbert. An additional viewing will be held from 9 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, at the funeral home.

Otis stayed home from school yesterday and was in need of some mama-style comfort food. I found these faded handwritten recipes stashed away in my recipe box and knew they would be good medicine. My mom used to make this soup for our family and it has always been an old-school favorite of mine: the creaminess of the pureed corn plus the added cream delightfully warms the belly.
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups corn
- 1 large yellow onion
- 6 ribs celery
- 2 large carrots
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
- 1 cup cream
- fresh italian parsley
In a stock pot, melt butter over low heat. Add whole chicken breasts and cook covered for 10 minutes, flipping once after 5 minutes. Cut chicken into cubes and set aside.
Dice onions, celery and carrots. Place in the stock pot with the butter used to cook the chicken. Saute over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. (Check out the cute baby celery Otis picked from our garden!)
Put 2 cups of corn in the blender with 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Puree until smooth.
Dice potatoes . I leave the skins on because it is much healthier that way and I don't mind the heartiness they add to the soup.
Add potatoes, chicken, stock, pureed and whole corn to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook partially covered for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Add cream and garnish with chopped parsley. Grind fresh pepper over the top and add salt to taste.
Eat with popovers. Yum!!!
Serves 8
I have always loved popovers. What is not to like? Have one to sop up your soup and another slathered with jam and butter for dessert!
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sifted all purpose flour (gluten-free folks, try Pamela's bread mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt ( no need to add if you use Pamela's)
- 1 teaspoon safflower oil
Preheat oven to 450.
In blender mix eggs and milk until blended. Then add salt and flour and blend for 90 seconds. Add oil and blend for another 30 seconds.
Grease muffin or popover tin. Fill half way with batter. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes. Reduce to 350 and cook another 20-30 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the last 5 minutes of cooking. Popovers should be a rich golden brown and crunchy on the outside when done. Let sit for a minute or so before removing.
Serve immediately.
Makes 6 popovers (I usually have to make 2 batches for my gang)
A note to my gluten free compatriots, this is the first time I have used gluten free flour to make this recipe. The insides were a little gooey compared to what I recall from my wheat-eating days. Nonetheless, they were eggy and delicious.

Best of London Theatre: 2014 Olivier Awards Nominees Announced
March 10th, 2014
The best of London's theatre has been whittled down ahead of the Olivier Awards ceremony next month, with new musicals leading the way in the nominations revealed today.
New musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has gained seven nominations, while fellow newcomers The Book of Mormon and The Scottsboro Boys have six apiece.
It's not just new shows that are hogging the limelight however, with the revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along also doing well with the voters, with seven nominations to its name.

Holland Bloorview's state-of-the-art and fully accessible building has been recognized by the International Academy for Design and Health as "an inspirational building…which speaks to a child's right to participate in our society."
Our building, which opened in 2006, was designed to bring the outside in. Our building features floor-to-ceiling windows so that everyone who visits can look out onto the beautiful natural ravine and garden that surround the building. We used neutral colours and natural materials, like zinc and brick, on both the interior and exterior walls. We even have a living "green wall" in our cafeteria and a green roof that can be seen from the second floor waiting area.
Another special thing about our building is the art. We have 33 pieces of art and interactive art installations that reflect themes of transformation, nature and the history of our organization, which is over 100 years old. The artworks express our spirit and promote an overall sense of well-being and delight. They also act as landmarks, helping people to find their way in the building.
From every angle, this facility shows our high level of respect for the clients we serve. It is a spectacular environment to enable kids with disabilities and special needs to achieve their personal best.
Our history stretches back to 1899. Read more about our evolution.
