Medical Therapy for Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancers
Medical Treatment
Medical treatment of gallbladder and bile duct cancers may be part of your treatment plan if your cancer:
- Was diagnosed at a more advanced stage and cannot be removed surgically
- Is borderline operable
- Is at high risk for recurrence
Chemotherapy uses powerful anticancer drugs to attack and kill cancer cells. These treatments may slow a cancer tumor's growth, shrink the tumor or downsize it to improve the possibility for a complete surgical removal, and better outcome. The anticancer agents our oncologists use for gallbladder and bile duct cancers include:
- Gemcitabine
- Capecitabine
- Cisplatin
- Oxaliplatin
- 5-Flurouracil
Roswell Park medical oncologists use specific combinations of chemotherapy agents that are often more effective when used together. If you need chemotherapy, the treatment team will choose the drugs, or combination of drugs, best for your individual case.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy uses drugs or other substances that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression. These specific molecules, or molecular targets, are found only in the cancer cells or tumor. The drugs aimed at them harm only the targets, sparing healthy cells and tissue.
Roswell Park offers access to some targeted therapies through clinical trials. Some of these include:
- A study of the targeted therapy bevacizumabin combination with gemcitabine and capecitabine for patients with advanced biliary tract cancers to assess whether circulating tumor cells could help determine prognosis
- Newer therapies, using nanoparticle taxanes and oral agents

I'm always drawn to cheongsams during the Chinese New Year season for some reason. Not so much to wear them but to ogle at them. In case you haven't noticed, I'm also fond of featuring them! So this year I stumbled upon this Inner Circle CNY collection from Zalora with a modern twist. Very fashionable and may I add, real affordable. I'd to do a double take because I couldn't believe the prices actually range from S$39.90 to S$69.90! And the quality doesn't look so bad, going by the pictures alone.
All in, there are over 100 cheongsams available at the online store. Many of them are the classic body hugging designs but I prefer the fit and flare designs. For one, they look a lot trendier and more important, they'll work for women with bigger hips. There's even a skater cheongsam so definitely no worries over getting stuck at the hips while trying to fit into a cheongsam! LOL.
Instead of the usual auspicious red, orange or yellow, the Zalora CNY collection offers cheongsam in shades of blue, green and even black. That's a clear departure from traditional expectations. I bet many younger ones wouldn't mind wearing these any days other than the 15 days of Chinese New Year!
But designs aside, I have to say not every lady can carry the cheongsam well. I could be wrong but I feel it takes a certain demeanour and also a fairer skin tone to wear the traditional dress. Like of all the models featured in the collection, this model featured in this post looks most elegant.
Anyway, I don't have the urge to order any of these pieces even though they're very pretty. I might change my mind later perhaps. According to the website, it takes one to three days for delivery and free shipping is available for orders above S$40. I'm not sure if the delivery duration is guaranteed because the last time I ordered from Zalora at zalora.sg, it took me five days to receive the products. If any of you have better experience ordering from them or have ordered any of these pieces under the Inner Circle CNY collection, do leave us your comments.

It is a well-known game from our childhood, which used to be played by everyone in the yard. But now thanks to "dodgeballs.io" this game can be played with people from around the globe. That's simple! Move across the map collecting the balls of different colors and throw them at your opponent as soon as he appears in your sight, but don't forget to dodge from counter throws. You can also hide behind the covers in order to take a breath and collect new balls for casting.
Operation is very common: WASD are used to move across the map and collect the balls and pressing the left mouse button to throw the ball at your opponent or off target it depends on your skills.

I know there's a stigma involved in "meeting someone online," and there's always that tinge of embarrassment when telling people where you met. But there shouldn't be. I honestly think it's a viable way for many people to meet each other.
Some people volunteer their time in third world countries, others run marathons for cancer patients, I, on the other hand, will date copious amounts of needy, socially-awkward, fast-track-to-marriage-oriented women. As I've stated many times before, I believe there's no validity in my mother's assertions that I will not find a woman to marry in a bar, club, or massage parlor. It's only been 11 years of trying, mother, what do you know? You've been married for 40+ years!?!? And that makes you an expert?!!? Stick to the kitchen!!! (Just kidding.)
Really, Ma, just kidding. Please put the tennis racket away.
For the record, I have been a "free" member of Match.com for three years, because, at one time, a friend and I were going to start a web company based on online/offline dating. I joined every network to see how "the flow" worked. How they get you to go from "free" to "paying." Well, Match lets you create a profile and even lets you browse women in your area and "wink" at them. Women can "wink" and email you, but you can only "wink" back. If you want to reach out to them, you must pay them. Like Billy Crystal said, "Ahgh Hagh!" (The 'g' signifies that deep gurgle he made in his throat as he said 'ah ha' - but I didn't know how to spell it.) So, even as the website my friend and I were going to start went dormant and gathered dust, I kept the profile up.
I probably averaged about a wink a week. Not bad for someone who did nothing but post gratuitous pics of himself flexing in the mirror using a camera phone. Out of all those winks, only twice was I tempted to put down some money to get in touch with the girl. I thought long and hard over it as I ate my Swanson's Salisbury Steak Hungry Man dinner (my fave!), thinking that maybe I could embed a code into my bio so that these girls could find me offline - something that would direct them to SiliconValleyBachelor.com... Then I thought that would not do me any favors, so then I did what I normally do with $30 and spent it on three Maker's Mark on the rocks at a local dive bar. (Shout out to Oasis Bar - where
Anyhow, now I shall embark on a mission, similar to Rob Schneider as Deuce Bigalow or Steve Carell while speed-dating in 40 Year Old Virgin, but I'd like to think of myself, not as those two, but more like Daniel Craig's James Bond as he exchanges clever banter with his love interest on that train (she dies, fyi), or I'd like to think of myself as Edward in Twilight and give my dates cold, unreadable facial language, while only breaking my silence to spit out unintelligible sentence fragments. (Bella should've died, fyi.)
Well, stay posted and I will update you on my experiences.

Or, as I'm known on Match - "Thor, stallion of men and conqueror of women."

A terahertz shaping system based on optical fiber components as opposed to traditional free-space solutions is proposed. It is based on the time-domain modulation of the optical source spectrum. Standard single-mode fiber distributes and disperses the pulse before filtering its spectral components by means of the cross-gain and cross-phase modulation effects taking place in an interferometric semiconductor optical amplifier structure. Experimental measurements are obtained, showing the tunability of the system as well as its reconfigurability.

May I suggest another approach? Enjoy it.
I love wrapping presents. It's one of my favourite Christmas rituals. I set it out Just So and I look forward to it as a lovely quiet interlude. This is how it works:
First of all, get all chef-y about it and set up your mise en place. (That's a poncey French restaurant way of saying laying out all the things you need where you need them. Don't Mess With My Meez is an essential tenet of my life. I hate it when people mess with my stuff.)
I need all the presents stacked on the living room floor. A cup of coffee - or a pot of coffee with milk and a mug as this will be a multi-coffee activity - a mince pie or two and the Christmas film of your choice will keep you going.
My wrapping film of choice is While You Were Sleeping. Christmassy and cute. I used to watch White Christmas but you can't wrap and watch dance numbers.
For the wrapping you need your wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbons, decorative bits, a pen and labels. I strongly recommend Scotch tape or Sellotape. Fannying about with tape that tears off in ragged points or that you're endlessly picking at with your nail trying to find an edge makes the whole enterprise needlessly painful. A bin bag per person/destination is also handy, unless your family keeps all the presents under the tree. I do a bag per child then a bag for the people we see at my parents' house and a bag for those at Mark's parents' house. It just makes it easy when we're driving to North Wales to have a bag to grab and pop in the boot to take in rather than root about through a mound of gifts.
You're all set - drinks, mince pies, film and supplies. Before you press Play you must do the most important thing - barricade the door. I'm not kidding, properly block it. I move a stool in front of the door and sometimes write a note too, along the lines of "DO NOT COME IN. If you do come in I get to keep your presents and eat your chocolate." The only possible way to relax into wrapping in my experience is to be left the hell alone. If you have kids, the prospect of having someone else do the wrapping can be a good incentive for one's partner to keep the kids entertained. Or do it while kids are napping/at school/in bed/at a friend's house. But peace and solitude are important.
For the wrapping itself, may I suggest brown kraft paper? You know the stuff - thick plain paper with faint pinstripes. It's cheap, comes in big rolls, doesn't tear easily like some wrapping papers, gives a nice crisp folds and is appropriate for every occasion. I love it and use it for Christmas, birthdays, everything. I just swap the Christmassy ribbon for brighter colours. I do buy patterned paper to use for the younger kids' present too, because they like it, but I try and stick to things that look nice together.
The fun of kraft paper is what you put with it. I like ribbons of jute, satin, velvet, small Christmas tree decorations, white or silver pens, rubber stamps - anything really. Butchers twine - that twisted red and white string - also looks good on it. I often pick up nice bits in the after Christmas sales and pop them in my Christmas box to use the following year.
This year it was oversized jingle bells and painted wooden hearts and stars.
I found a set of tiny rubber stamps in a winter motif in a craft shop year ago, reduced to £2. I thought they'd be nice on gift tags. Yes, I have plain brown luggage labels as gift tags. They come in bulk, they are cheap and I like the minimalist chic vibe going on here.
Instead of feeling like I've a hateful chore I'm trudging through, I have a lovely peaceful afternoon with a romcom of my choice and a growing stack of gifts that (I think) look pretty.

Well, they aren't turkeys, but they are noisy and there's thousand of 'em. Maybe more than thousands.
As people celebrate Thanksgiving today, so also are migratory waterfowl that have descended on the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area and elsewhere throughout the Central Valley.
Snow Geese are, in fact, returning by the millions to stop by the marshes of the delta, to have their own feast.
If you've spent any time outside the recent days, you've undoubtedly heard the calls from above, and seen the huge V-formations of birds flying over. It's the season when the birds from the Arctic come south the spend the winter in the Sacramento Valley, and they're here in vast numbers.
Snow geese have taken over the flooded rice fields near the Llano Seco Wildlife Refuge off Seven Mile Lane southwest of Dayton. While refuges like Llano Seco, Gray Lodge southwest Gridley, and the Sacramento Valley Refuge south of Willows offer more organized ways to see the birds, just about any road through rice county provides a spectacle.
The Yolo Bypass is no exception.
The Snow Geese — as well as other visitors such as ibis and ducks of all types — have landed.
Snow Geese are medium-sized geese can be identified by their white plumage and black wingtips in flight. The darker, blue morph has a white head and throat with a grey-brown body. This rare variant may be spotted among a flock of the white birds. Snow Geese breed in large colonies on arctic tundra and mate for life. Family groups travel south together. Snow Geese have an exclusively vegetarian diet that includes a range of aquatic plants, grasses, and grains.
The Yolo Basin Foundation invites the public to view these seasonal visitors during a docent-led tour of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area on Saturday, Dec. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon.
All interested tour participants should meet a few minutes before 9 a.m. in Parking Lot A of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, at the west end of the Yolo Causeway. Directions to the YBWA are also available on Yolo Basin Foundation's website at yolobasin.org.
People should bring binoculars and water. Docents will have spotting scopes to enhance wildlife viewing. This is a driving tour on gravel roads with several stops and short walks.
The Yolo Basin Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the appreciation and stewardship of wetlands and wildlife through education and innovative partnerships. The Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area is owned and managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Of course, you don't need a tour to see the birds. Simply head out to the Wildlife Area and take a look. You can't miss 'em.

I hereby present you with the truth of the Bash Barbarian. Email me any questions regarding D3, not my own snake or my GF's nudes.
On: email@example.com (For Gear details see video below)
Yes, YOU can clear GR70 and more with a Bash Barbarian, 3 25+ gems and NO augments without too much of a hassle.
"But I tried and I failed, HOW DID YOU DO IT?!" You might ask.
Well Timmy, this is it:
Gear wise, the stuff you need, although in my video you will notice that I did not even have the best stuff YET, so it is not a big thing until later. Hence this is a good build considering the "lack" of good gear "needed" versus high GR clearance.
I found that the most important thing is survival, because I solely play on Hardcore and yes, much like a boss.
I have a GF, a job, studies, two snakes and a big interest in real instruments like the electric guitar or the piano, notice how I mentioned "real". Why is this important to notice? Not the instruments Timmy, but my other hobbies? (GF included)
It is important because I do not have all the time in the world, I do not find any joy in "grinding" stuff out or doing "cookie-cutter" builds that everyone does because everyone does them.
TLDR: (Still quite long mind you[but packed with more info per word{this is how you use all these btw}])
How: You need large packs of monsters *shocker*, preferably large monsters because they give more progress, the more "small" monsters you attract the longer you should wait to engage until you have found a sufficient amount of large monsters or non-flighty elites. This depends on your map-layout: if it has labyrinth-style layout simply run to next map asap and only stop if you encounter a clutter of elite packs; The type of monsters also the decision to train them or if skelesnores, discard them, if phantasm (where the f*** did my 10 elite pack go) and similar stuff.
WHY: You will GIBB small monsters in groups, this is bad because it gives little progress and a lot of big leftovers, this is why you want the many small monsters in groups with as many big monsters/elites as you can find since Battle Rage: Bloodshed has the possibility of killing the tough guys almost as fast as a hundred spiderlings on one pixel.
IF: The big guys/elites don't die in the first gathering of trained mobs, just keep training them, unless they are melting to your damage it is more effecient to keep stacking pack after pack until you can almost gibb those pesky porkchoppers, just be careful with effect-stacking elites like...

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/18706676825#1 ---------- [ Back to Northrend ] ---------- New WRATH OF THE LICH KING raiding guild is starting! Located on : Wyrmrest Accord US
Faction : Alliance
Date of Creation 2015-09-09 Do you miss raiding in Wrath of the Lich King ? Do you miss hanging out in Dalaran ? You want to experience the old content again and actually have a challenge ? You are at the right place ! Because to create something as unique as what Wrath of the Lich King was in his time we have some rules! The guild will begin his progression in the 10 man content with this following order : Naxxramas
Obsidian Sanctum
Eye of Eternity
VoA 1. Once you are level 80, NO HEIRLOOMS. 2. You can't have better gear than the content we are currently doing. That means if we're in Naxx 10, you can't already have ICC gear. We want to keep the challenge you know. 3. No PvP gear in RAIDS. Pretty obvious. 4. Only items from WotLK or OLDER are accepted. Items at level 80 from Cataclysm will be refused. 5. No MONKS. Sorry but it was not part of the expansion. 6. Cata Class/Race combination are accepted As for the raid combinations, this is something I'll have to test. I think going 10 players in a 10 man raid is going to be too easy. Ill keep everyone updated on this one. ********************************************************************* The guild JUST STARTED so don't hesitate to join! I've been looking for one and none of them are active! Its time to get your TOONS to 80, get heroic dungeon gear and be prepared for NAXX 10!!! For any infos add my BTAG : Astreon#1172
By Morganstern
My guild is putting together a Herald of the Titans run in a few weeks, and I've decided to roll a combat rogue for it. I'm having some difficulty understanding how scaling and stats have changed since Wrath was current, and how that might affect stat priority for a rogue locked at 80.
From what I understand the stat priority for a 90 combat rogue is haste>mastery>crit, but since I won't find much in the way of mastery at 80, do I focus solely on the other two stats? Do I dump everything into just one stat?
By fox436
Looking for a RAF partner, Alliance only. Server is irrelevant, but you must have all 4 main exp BoA pieces (helm, cloak, shoulder, legs). looking to organize a schedule, open for weekends (any time) and evenings starting at 1800 EST.

Maks Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff Engaged and Mark Ballas Injured
Maks Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are now engaged. Who would have thought that Karina would leave Mario for Maks? Well, actually they really seem to go together really well. Mario and Karina never really matched for me. I'm sure that many a Maks lover will be disappointed that Maks is no longer available. Here's a little bit more information about their engagement from TVGuide.com:
"I'm in love and so is she," Chmerkovskiy told People. "Everything is beautiful."
The two have worked together on Dancing for four years, but only tested the romantic waters fourth months ago. Chmerkovskiy popped the question on New Year's Eve.
"He is such a softie," Smirnoff said of her betrothed. "The way he proposed was so romantic." Chmerkovskiy gave Smirnoff a three-karat platinum and diamond ring — which viewers can start salivating over when two return for Dancing's eighth season in March.
In other news, Mark Ballas, Jr was hurt on the Dancing with the Stars tour. Here's more information on what happened:
Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas, who took home season six's mirror ball trophy with partner Kristi Yamaguchi, suffered a groin injury and announced he will have sit out "a couple of weeks" of the shows tour, according to People.
After a performance on Saturday at the Los Angeles Staples Center, the Dancing pro, who was visibly in pain, apologized to fans for not giving a hundred percent. Both he and partner Yamaguchi did, however, pull-off a high energy performance as well as pull off a hip-hop routine with fellow pros Lacey Schwimmer and Derek Hough.
I'm not sure if the Dancing with the Stars curse is real. I think that dancers just get injured more than we realized before the show. I guess we'll see who will get injured next when season 8 of Dancing with the Stars premieres on March 9 with a live, two-hour special.

Heartbroken Praveen Halappanavar is still tormented by why his pregnant wife Savita was allowed to die.
Supporters held candlelit vigils across Ireland on Monday to mark one year since the tragic death of 31-year-old Savita.
Mourners in the couple's native India also attended special services to remember the beautiful young dentist and her unborn daughter, exactly a year since she died of blood poisoning in Galway University Hospital after being denied an abortion.
And as Savita's devastated widower Praveen struggled through "a very sad day", friends said he still didn't understand why his beautiful wife was allowed to die.
His solicitor Gerard O'Donnell revealed: "He does know what the cause of death was, we all do now, but he just keeps asking why did it happen and why was it allowed to happen.
"He has a clear picture of how she died and he knows the cause of her death.
"He just keeps asking the question as to first of all what level of accountability is there for this action and why did it actually happen."
Savita's needless death caused shockwaves around the world last October and led to a change in Ireland's outdated abortion laws earlier this year.
The pregnant 31-year-old was admitted to Galway hospital suffering from a miscarriage and begged doctors to give her a termination.
But staff refused and just days later, Savita died from an infection.
Vigils were last night held on Grafton Street in Dublin, on Eyre Square in Galway where Praveen and Savita lived and at the Opera House in Cork.
Janet O'Sullivan, who organised the Dublin vigil said: "Savita's death caused shock not just in Ireland but across the globe, internationally where people were shocked and appalled to hear of the loss for her husband and her family, surprised that she had died and there wasn't an intervention.
"No woman should be left to die in that situation."
In the past 12 months there have been three reports into Savita's tragic death and after repeated requests from her widower Praveen, health minister James Reilly has finally agreed to meet him face-to-face.
And top of the grief-stricken engineer's list of questions is who will be held to account for his wife's death.
Mr O'Donnell said: "My client and I are both pleased that it is going to happen. Since we met the minister, three significant reports have been published... and we'd be keen to see what his reaction is.
"In fairness to the minister, he did want to have the benefit of all the reports available to him before we had the meeting and he now has those and so we will need to discuss."
Asked what Praveen will be demanding answers to, his Galway-based solicitor revealed: "The first thing would be the minister himself has indicated that he has sent all these reports both to the Medical Council of Ireland and to the Nursing Board, and he did so with some objective in mind but we're not sure what that objective was so we'd certainly like to find out what he hopes to achieve.
"Secondly following on from that, what feedback he's had back from those professional bodies about the report, if any.
"And from that, what views the minister has about there being any level of accountability for what happened to Savita."
In the meantime, Praveen and Savita's family are waiting anxiously to see if HSE West will fight the legal proceedings they have issued against them or settle out of court.
The HSE has already ordered a review of the actions of all hospital staff involved in treating Savita and sanctions might follow.

It Could Have Been Avoided
GRAND RAPIDS — When city commissioners recently adopted the $123 million general operating budget for the new fiscal year that starts in two weeks, their action ended three-months' worth of scrutiny, angst and intense discussion with city administrators.
The untold story is that much of the discussion and scrutiny, and likely all of the angst, could have been bypassed had the state fully met the revenue-sharing promise it made to the city about six years ago.
State revenue-sharing payments to the city for FY09 are expected to be $22.8 million, or 19 percent of the city's total revenue to the general operating budget. But that figure is still millions less than what the city should be getting.
"It's up to about $9 million a year now, and think what we could do with $9 million. It (the budget process) would have (been easier)," said City Manager Kurt Kimball.
The public safety, fiscal services, planning and economic development, human resources, internal services and general administration departments all are expected to operate with less revenue in the coming year.
"I mean, the economy is bad enough, but we'd probably be managing to get through the economic circumstance if the state was providing us all that they had promised they would in previous legislation and funding formula," Kimball added.
Another $9 million would have made spending cuts and fee increases moot actions, and would have relieved some of the negotiating tensions that the administrative staff and the 13 bargaining units are going through.
The incentives Lansing is offering film producers may put a further strain on the revenue-sharing stream.
If the tax credits to movie-makers, more commonly called rebate checks by many, push the state budget deeper into a shortfall, pressured lawmakers may feel the need to hold back revenue-sharing payments again to balance their budget.
"For every dollar of pressure on the state's budget, experience has proven that revenue sharing is a common target," said Kimball, calmly but emphatically.
The pressure Kimball referred to seemingly bubbles to the surface quite regularly — like every time lawmakers get together for a revenue-estimating conference.
"It seems like every time they have one of these — and they have one at least two times a year — we learn that less money is coming in than they've estimated, and then they've got a problem," he said.
The last estimate suggested revenue to the state would be about $300 million short of what lawmakers and Gov. Jennifer Granholm had expected, or three times the estimated cost of the film-industry tax credit to the state's revenue coffer.
So for Kimball, the movie credits just get a spot on the already crowded "why there isn't enough money to completely meet revenue sharing" list the state has put out for years.
"There are 20 reasons that revenue sharing is at risk," he said.
"But it does seem like, at least recently, the continued reduction in revenue sharing has been halted. The governor's budget proposes an additional 4 percent, which is good. We've got 96 percent more to go to get it back to where it should be, but it's better than continuing to go downward.
"I think as the pressure mounts on local government, including ours, the translation of revenue sharing is going into positions that provide vital services, like police and fire. People are better at understanding that revenue sharing really means basic services in our cities. The lobbying on the part of municipalities generally, as their finances have gotten worse, has been increasingly effective."

It's not a large margin, but it's better than being in the red again.
For the first time in three fiscal years, the city's general operating fund may show a surplus. Expenditures from the fund, which covers many of the city's services, have exceeded revenues by roughly $6.5 million over the past two fiscal years.
Here is a snapshot of the operating fund's revenues and expenses.

Good question, Kevin. I have posted some Gold Key stuff, but a lot of it is in print and, honestly, I just dig the Charlton stuff more. I'll see about giving more time to Gold Key's mystery titles. There was, indeed, some good stuff in Ripley's, Boris Karloff, Twilight Zone, and the rest...Delete

Extra train carriages from the South of England will enable more visitors to access London's business facilities such as conference centres and corporate venues, for example.
The transport secretary has announced that Waterloo International Station is to reopen especially for commuter services, thereby reducing the frequent overcrowding that southern passengers often face on trains to the capital.
According to Breaking Travel News, services from Windsor, Weybridge (via Staines), Portsmouth, Southampton, Eastleigh, Reading, Hounslow and Alton into Waterloo will all be improved, with Reading also receiving additional services.
"Passengers travelling into Waterloo have to suffer some of the busiest trains in the country, with sardine-can like conditions on many peak-time services," Justine Greening said, according to BBC News.
The extra carriages will make use platform 20 which is due to come back into full use from 2014. It was formerly home to the Eurostar train service before it moved to Kings Cross St Pancras.
"But our plans do not stop here," continued Greening. "We are now embarked on one of the largest programmes of rail investment since the Victorian era and we expect to introduce further carriages on Waterloo routes and bring more platforms into use in the future."
The new services will allow an extra 8,000 peak-time passengers to arrive at Waterloo each morning.

Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence. The tradeoff between assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker compensation system is known as "the compensation bargain."
While plans differ between jurisdictions, provision can be made for weekly payments in place of wages (functioning in this case as a form of disability insurance), compensation for economic loss (past and future), reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses (functioning in this case as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed during employment (functioning in this case as a form of life insurance).
General damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages for employer negligence, are generally not available in workers' compensation plans, and negligence is generally not an issue in the case.
Workers' compensation: an overview
Workers' compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary awards, eliminating the need for litigation. These laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses. Some laws also protect employers and fellow workers by limiting the amount an injured employee can recover from an employer and by eliminating the liability of co-workers in most accidents. State statutes establish this framework for most employment. Federal statutes are limited to federal employees or those workers employed in some significant aspect of interstate commerce.
The Federal Employment Compensation Act provides workers' compensation for non-military, federal employees. Many of its provisions are typical of most workers' compensation laws. Awards are limited to "disability or death" sustained while in the performance of the employee's duties but not caused willfully by the employee or by intoxication. The act covers medical expenses due to the disability and may require the employee to undergo job retraining. A disabled employee receives two-thirds of his or her normal monthly salary during the disability and may receive more for permanent physical injuries or if he or she has dependents. The act provides compensation for survivors of employees who are killed. The act is administered by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs.
The Federal Employment Liability Act (FELA), while not a workers' compensation statute, provides that railroads engaged in interstate commerce are liable for injuries to their employees if they have been negligent.
The Merchant Marine Act (the Jones Act) provides seamen with the same protection from employer negligence as FELA provides railroad workers.
Congress enacted the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) to provide workers' compensation to specified employees of private maritime employers. The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs administers the act.
The Black Lung Benefits Act provides compensation for miners suffering from "black lung" (pneumoconiosis). The Act requires liable mine operators to pay disability payments and establishes a fund administered by the Secretary of Labor providing disability payments to miners where the mine operator is unknown or unable to pay. The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs regulates the administration of the act.

Today I turn 36. It's been great weekend hanging out with friends and family. I wanted to share a few reflections on some of the things I've learned thus far. While not a complete list of course, these were the most relevant to my life today. As always, a disclaimer: I might be wrong.
1. The moment we forget that we can become what we hate the most, we lose our most powerful tool in bringing about healing in the world: empathy. I never understood this, and for many years I felt like I existed on some higher plateau of morality, belief, and practice. Then life humbled me. It has taken turns I never expected it to. I've made decisions I never thought I would make. Because of that, my worldview is vastly different than it used to be. You see, when you've hit the bottom your eyes are opened and you become much less judgmental of those that are down there with you. Your heart has the capacity to open up to more people and experiences than you could ever imagine. I'm not saying that you need to go out and make shitty decisions to eventually become more whole, I'm saying that at one point or another, life has a way of humbling us when we begin to believe we are better than other people.
2. Change is a process, not an event. The world is obsessed with instant results. Instant weight loss, instant downloads, binge watching, happiness delivered to your door, etc. But real, genuine change takes time. Years. Decades. If we are serious about change, whether it be spiritual, social, political, or physical, we need to be committed to the long haul.
3. Be kind to yourself. The way we view ourselves is reflected in every aspect of our lives. I cannot love others without loving myself, just like I can't write checks without money in the bank. I know this because I've tried both and failed. This has been incredibly valuable as a parent. My worst moments as a parent aren't when my kid says or does something cruel. They are when I stop believing in who I am. First and foremost as a person and then as a parent.
4. Count no day a loss in which you wait your turn, take only your share, and seek advantage over no one. In a Trump-kind-of world, our ability to deescalate the rise of hyper capitalism within our psyche can be a form of resistance. It is believing that there is enough for us all. It is adopting a narrative of abundance and not scarcity. We aren't enemies, despite what so many systems in our world tell us.
5. Growth comes from seeking out people and experiences outside of your own. The past few years have been an incredible journey into listening and learning from people who have had experiences that differ from mine. My straight, white, cis-gender narrative doesn't even come close to painting a full picture of humanity. This exploration has been a painful one as I've had to face the fact that I have been an accomplice in systems of supremacy and oppression, but a worthy exploration nonetheless.
6. Relationships are where it's at. Birthdays have always been a time to take inventory of the blessing in my life and the people that fill it with love. This year I'm particularly grateful for the family and friends who, when the going got tough, leaned in and not out. For those that literally carried us when we couldn't carry ourselves. Everything we learn in life happens in relationship to others and I have been so fortunate to have a lifetime full of people (even if only for a season) who have filled my life with goodness.

Dean is, of course, not here in Iowa City on his own behalf. He's here for Hilalry Clinton - and while he'll no doubt try to stay on Clinton message, it's inevitable that the Vermont Factor will surface and the subject of Bernie Sanders will come up.
I'm going retro 2003 with my wardrobe. Found this in the back of the closet:
December 15, 2015
7:08 and we have about 50 people on hand eating pot luck and waiting for Howard Dean. A couple other folks have joined me in wearing Dean shirts (this is a retro endorsement of Dean and not an endorsement of Dean's 2016 endorsement, said Mr Neutral)
7:15 and Howard in the house! Dignataries on hand include Chris Tayor der burgermeiser of Swisher and the one and only Sue Dvorsky. (Mary Mascher was a late arrival)
7:26 and Dean is working the room - I was one of the first hands grabbed because of the shirt. Another arrival is Zach Wahls, who released his Hillary endorsement yesterday. That's a big deal in Johnson County, with young Iowans, and the LGBT vote.

7:35 and I'm cheating a little on the liveblog rules because it's the easiest way to get pics up fast. The tech has come a long way since 2003. Dean was on the front edge of tech in politics - Obama won with the Dean strategy and Hillary is running with it now. Hoping to chat with him about that.
Organizer drops a reference to 50 State Strategy #drink
Dean is on at 7:38. "This is almost like a Dean reunion," he says, with shout outs to Leshtz and Wahls (who tells me his first campaign event was a Dean rally when he was 13).
"I know something about Iowa politics and this is a first rate staff."
"I like Hillary a lot because she knows what the facts are. Right now there's a whole party that doesn't care what the facts are," he says referencing the GOP debate.
December 16, 2015
7:43 "Citizens United reversed the clause of the declaration of independence that says we are all created equal."
"There's only one person in this field who understands anything about foreign policy." Specified GOP field... but maybe a veiled reference to his fellow Vermonter? Dean points to today's terrorism speech that I have not had time to read about.
"The people who are most likely to help us are Muslim Americans." Says he speaks to students - they are more afraid of ISIS than the rest of America. "Who has a bigger investment in making sure ISIS goes away? We cannot turn 1.2 billion people against us by doing what Donald Trump is doing."
7:48 "None of those people on that Las Vegas stage are qualified to be president - not one."
Dean wraps up in just over 10 minutes. Leaves lots of mingling time.
8:47 and I'm home. The liveblog plan pretty much went to hell as soon as the prepared remarks were over. In my nostalgia I was mentally prepped for a longer speech and somehow I forgot that Dean is not the candidate. (I asked how old he would be in 2024: "Too old.")
So it was a mix and mingle event and Dean mixed and mingled at length with pretty much everyone, not leaving until the room was pretty much just down to staff.
He did have a few minutes for a couple more formalized questions with me. Dean very carefully avoided direct criticism of Bernie Sanders and said they get along well. He said he chose Clinton because he had a more broad base of experience, again emphasizing foreign policy; clearly this is what the On Message message is 48 Days Pre Iowa.
Dean says Iowa and New Hampshire have an important role but that it was also important to add the diversity of South Carolina and Nevada to the early state mix (that happened in 2006 for 2008, during his tenure at the DNC). Dean also said the DNC needs to be more of an organizing committee and less of a re-election committee.
As for the debate schedule, which his DNC successor Debbie Wasserman Schultz has taken a lot of flak for, Dean said he agrees with limiting the number of debates, citing the Republican's self-inflicted damage from their 20-plus debate schedule in 2012. He disagrees, however, with barring candidates who participate in unsanctioned debates (like the Black and Brown Forum in Des Moines was supposed to be) from being in the official debates.

Innovation Alert!
Albatron's "ATOP" breathes new life into AGP-8x VGA
Technology, a leading IT solutions provider, recently announced
the world's first AGP-8x to PCI-Express bridge card. The "ATOP" (AGP-To-PCIe) bridge card will allow
a user to use their existing AGP-8x VGA card in a mainboard designed for
PCI-Express resulting in considerable savings in upgrade
expenditures.Because the AGP 8x standard has been around for a while and
continues to provide more than adequate graphics performance, there still exists
a large base of users with very capable AGP 8x VGA cards. Until now consumers
have been hesitant to upgrade to a mainboard with the PCI-Express standard
because it would also mean having to purchase a new PCIe VGA card. With the
ATOP card you can now upgrade to a PCI-Express
mainboard, continue to use your existing AGP-8x card and worry about purchasing
a new PCI-Express VGA card at a later time.
Your AGP-8x card simply piggybacks on
the ATOP card's AGP-8x slot located on the top edge. The
ATOP card is then plugged into the mainboard's PCI-Express
slot. The only other installation requirements are replacing the bracket on the
AGP-8x card with an ATOP bracket and installing the appropriate driver.The
ATOP bridge is the perfect solution for cost conscious users
caught in the middle of the PCI-Express, AGP-8x transition. With the
ATOP, you can have the best of both
worlds in addition to reducing expenditures and extending the life of your
original investments.

The signs have been pointing to a good holiday sales season for electronic gear like smartphones and tablets. And what goes together with those? Apps.
After unwrapping the new gizmos, the first thing most folks will want to do is to try them out, so they will download an app. Last Christmas Day, 328 million apps were downloaded, a record number that is expected to be surpassed tomorrow. For apps makers large and small, this is a big deal because they expect to get a lot more traffic than normal, and the last thing apps makers want is an Obamacare-type snafu that will very likely drive customers away forever, not just one day.
The Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) App Store, Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google Play store and Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AMZN) Appstore expect a lot of traffic, and apps makers like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) are gearing up for a big day. Disney is releasing an iPad version of its kids' "Club Penguin" game on Christmas Day. An Apple spokesperson told Bloomberg News that the App Store downloaded 2 billion apps last December.
And how bad is it for the brick-and-mortar retailers? Mall checks by various analysts turned up some depressing news. ShopperTrak estimated that last weekend's traffic was down 21% year-over-year and that sales were down 3.1%.
Even steep discounts do not attract more buyers, who may be waiting for after-Christmas sales. A visit to a Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) Old Navy store in New York on Sunday revealed that everything in the store was on sale for 75% off. An Abercrombie & Fitch Inc. (NYSE: ANF) store marked everything 30% off, including items that had already been discounted. There is not much room for more markdowns, so it is a little difficult to see what shoppers are waiting for. Unless of course, they are finished spending.
Not all traditional retailers are getting beaten up. Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) has been singled out as one retailer where sales appear to be doing well. Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KORS) is another. The thing to watch for is margin, a strong point for Kors and somewhat problematic for Macy's.
After-Christmas sales are expected to help retailers somewhat, but shoppers typically expect even bigger discounts, so the effect may be dampened this year by the already steep discounts retailers have taken. When stores report same-store sales next month, we will know for sure who won and who lost. But right now, it does not look very good, unless your merchandise included electronics gear and apps.

I bought my initial portable travel kettle soon after staying at a four star hotel in Las Vegas which to my surprise didn't have tea or coffee generating facilities in the space. I haven't see the ad, but I just remember needing 5 million to acquire my next hotel. A lightweight transportable kettle which fits in a suitcase or overnight bag is excellent for a hotel remain or, if your attributes dual voltage settings which permit it to work on each U.S. and European energy then also best for international vacations, but these are not going to aid you when you are on the road when there is nowhere to plug them in to. For a beach hotel in the Bahamas a relaxed uniform using vibrant colours will be acceptable.
They love to ride in the auto, but the extended length of time on the road and a hotel stay was heading into unknown territory. But, hotel silver has a group of very avid, dedicated collectors prepared to commit huge money to get 1 far more piece in their collection. The ideal view from all the time we were inside the auto was just in front of the hotel. A blog dedicated to complete ideas, tricks and approach for playing the Monopoly Hotels game. We personally recommend the spiral bound copies for maximum durability (the first 2 atlases are spiral bound), nonetheless, National Geographic provides some fascinating, diverse content material in their atlas to make up for the lack of spiral binding.
During some times of the year, like more than Spring Break or Christmas week, the hotels rooms fill up at complete rate, but most other weeks of the year, they have a lot of rooms that sit empty. Finally got it nowadays and went to acquire it and I could by TWO hotels alternatively on 1! Constructed in 1929 at the then astronomical expense of $1.two million dollars, the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas was a lavish, cosmopolitan facility which could compete with any hotel in America. I've claimed Lowest / Ideal Price tag Guarantee handful of occasions already, and every time it's approved in less than 2 days.
So, if you have a smaller sized animal, you may possibly want to find a pet friendly hotel that limits the size of the dog. As soon as, I accidentally booked a hotel area with breakfast for 1 particular person rather than for two. Also, you may well want to add the approach that Zack at MHC in facebook disclosed by purchasing decorations for your hotels you obtain quick a single time xp. I have used this, too, in the early stages to obtain levels, but right after Zack disclosed it, I place a lot more thoughts and I feel it's yet another tool to use for serious players.
You will absolutely want to sign up for a rewards plan with your favourite hotel prior to the start off of the trip. On December 20 1970, while guests …Read more

'I started using the wet plate technique eight years ago, when I went off to a residency and holed myself up in the darkroom until I figured out how the process worked. From there I have created several bodies of work- each one generating more questions for myself. Lately I have been thinking about light and shadow, about abstraction and representation, about the difference between what we think we see and what we want to see.'

November 21, 2003
Dear Board Members,
We are writing to you regarding concerns expressed by some members
of our party regarding the process that will be used to choose the
new Superintendent. These members share the concerns of many other
Minneapolis residents whose children will be affected by this
decision and who were dismayed by the actions which led to the
Board's previous choice, David Jennings.
As you may know, one of the Four Pillars of the Greens is Grassroots
Democracy. We believe that open, public processes should be
available whenever possible in decisions, especially when the impact
is significant to the public. Indeed, Section M, Item 3B of the
State Green Party platform states, "We advocate cooperatively
managed schools in which operational decision making authority is
shared by students, parents, teachers and administrators."
Even though the choice of the Superintendent will ultimately be made
by the seven of you, it is clear that there is a broader set of
views in our community about the qualifications, skills and the
impacts of the person who will fill this role. We understand that
you have taken action towards improving the process for public input
to your search, and we applaud these positive steps.
Some specific questions: Beyond the community forums held on the
13th and 20th of this month, does the Board plan to discuss the
appointment of a superintendent at open meetings? Will opportunities
for public comment be provided at said meetings? If so, at what
stages of the process and how often (e.g., every two weeks, every
Notwithstanding any closed proceedings required by laws such as the
Data Privacy Act, we ask that you utilize transparent communications
and open meetings -- with opportunities for public comment -- in all
matters leading up to the selection of the next Superintendent. We
believe that in so doing, the Board will be able to regain a great
deal of the public trust that many feel was lost after the selection
of Mr Jennings.
We believe that this is an important issue to our constituencies and
to all Minneapolis Public School families. Our focus on the long
term well-being of our city demands that our schools reflect the
values of the families who entrust their children to them.
In closing, we wish to thank each of you for taking the time and
energy to be a public servant, and we appreciate your efforts to
meet the educational needs of the students in the Minneapolis Public
Schools. We hope that as you move forward, you will do what is best
for our schools, our families and our children.

How would Stonewall Jackson react to high-tension power lines stretching across a battlefield?
I assume he would outmaneuver them and his Yankee foes across the way.
While Civil War buffs focus on the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg in July 2013, the 150th anniversary of Antietam went well observed either side of South Mountain in Maryland. Most battle anniversaries rate a single re-enactment; due either to philosophical or personal differences, Antietam got two – and that's not including the "pull-out-all-the-stops" observance that the National Park Service organized at Antietam National Battlefield.
The first Antietam re-enactment took place Sept. 8-9 near Boonsboro, a Washington County (Maryland) town where many buildings along Routes 34 and 40 architecturally harken to the Civil War. This encampment appealed to "purist" re-enactors, according to the Houston Chronicle Web site, www.chron.com.
According to the Chronicle, among the organizers was S. Chris Anders "of Rear Rank Productions in Hagerstown." As quoted on the Web site, he explained that for the Sept. 8-9 re-enactment, organizers expected "the guys to have exact, correct uniforms, as best that they can, to duplicate the appearance so when the public sees it, it's not just generic Civil War — it's like pulling back a window shade looking directly into September '62."
About 4,000 re-enactors participated in this re-enactment, which limited the artillery to four cannons apiece, North and South.
Then came the Sept. 14-16 Antietam re-enactment sponsored by the 150th Antietam Reenactment Committee and held at the 400-acre Legacy Manor Farm, located just off the Bakersville Road. The farm sprawls across rolling hills just two miles north of the Poffenberger Farm at Antietam National Battlefield.
An estimated 4,000-4,500 re-enactors participated in this event, which featured 65 cannons — 40 Union, 25 Confederacy — and rousing battles involving the Dunker Church, the Bloody Lane, Burnside's Bridge, and even the event's enthusiastic cavalry contingent.
My Sept. 21 post (http://maineatwar.bangordailynews.com/2012/09/21/company-e-represented-20th-maine-at-antietem-150th/) introduced the men of Co. E, 20th Maine Infantry, who (among other units) represented the Pine Tree State during the Sept. 14-16 re-enactment. Third Maine re-enactors came down from Maine, too, and we tried to find them in the large Union camp. Unfortunately, three 7th Maryland Infantry lasses selling tarts and other Civil War delicacies distracted us, then the drums beat in the Confederate camp, and away we went to meet the 22nd North Carolina Infantry and Gen. James Longstreet and his lady, both astride magnificent horses.
My next few posts will focus on the Sharpsburg re-enactment. Pat Horne and I from the BDN spent 1-1/2 days there, and we met many historic (and often colorful characters). "Maine at War" will introduce some, in print and in photos.
Organizers mowed a large field to provide public parking; the event's only drawback, as far as I could tell, was the approach road: the narrow, two-lane Baskerville Road quickly filled with cars and pickups, and we heard rumors by early Saturday afternoon that south-bound traffic was backed up all the way north on Route 65 to Interstate 70.
Legacy Manor Farm raises free-range cattle and pigs; ironically, some pigs were rooting on the battlefield Friday morning, but public demonstrations of artillery and infantry apparently did not bother the porkers. Fortunately, all animals were herded to safety by Saturday morning, when the first battle took place for the public.
The re-enactment featured a large area shared by sutlers (Civil War merchants who sold soldiers goods that they either needed or could not obtain from the government) and two officer organizations: Lee's Lieutenants and the Federal General Corps. We'll meet some of those officers later; suffice to say that we met Robert E. Lee, George Gordon Meade, Jeb Stuart, and Joshua Chamberlain, among others.
The actual re-enactment battlefield was a large pasture alongside the sutler area. The troop camps lay to the north, across another pasture and through the trees.
The crowds were good, the re-enactors in top form, and we enjoyed our all-too-brief immersion in the war. I'll close for today with a few battle photos.
