Recipes Chicken
Who does love to eat delicious, tongue-tingling recipes chicken!! As a matter of fact, chicken has become a part of daily diet, and is significantly high in nutrition. Rich in essential animal protein and other nutrients, doctors often recommend light chicken stew or baked chicken recipes for patients. Chicken is an excellent source of energy, while being exceptionally low in saturated fat and calories; not to forget the delicious taste. Adding to the health benefits, chicken is among the few food items that can be used in preparing a wide variety of lip-smacking recipes. From healthy and nutritious soup to start with as an appetizer to tongue-tingling starters and main course side dishes, you will never get bored with innumerable delicious recipes chicken.
Recipe 1 – Healthy Chicken Soup
To make this delicious and healthy chicken soup, you will need a whole 3lbs chicken, wedges of a medium onion, 3 smashed garlic cloves, chopped roots and stems of cilantro, chopped stems and leaves of celery, 2 carrots, 1 avocado, one bay leaf, lime for serving and one tablespoon of salt. Put the chicken in a stew pot and scatter garlic, onion, bay leaf, celery, cilantro and salt on it; cover it with water, put a lid on it and bring it boil for 5 minutes over high heat. Turn off the heat and allow the chicken to poach for about 45 minutes. Now, allow the chicken to cool and shred off its skin and bones; cut it into pieces and set aside. Add the bones to the stock and shimmer it on low heat for 3 hours. Drain the stock, eliminating all solid particles. Now, add carrots to it and boil for few minutes. To serve it, put chicken pieces and avocado in a bowl and pour the hot stock over it, garnishing with lime or cilantro.
Recipe 2 – Tender Chicken Roast
Preheat the oven at 325 degrees F and spread one tablespoon of oil on the glass pan. Clean a whole 4 lbs chicken, remove the skin and marinate it with one tablespoon of oil, salt and pepper. Now, insert chopped onions, garlic cloves and one tablespoon of butter inside the cavity. Turn the chicken on its back and inset butter into its skin and in each breast. This makes the chicken tender and juicy. Bake it for 2 hours until cooked, adding little butter on each side every 30 minutes. Serve hot with onion, lime and other boiled vegetables.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing Equipment' started by dc33, Feb 21, 2013.
The '10, '11 & '12 models all have the cross porting in them.
yeah you do. if you raise your seat and look down in there you'll see these metal tubes going back and forth between the pumps/motors. they are to aid in keeping the oil cool when mowing side to side on hills. they move the oil so you have cooler oil going into the pump/motor that's doing most of the work on a hill.
you wouldn't notice a difference performance wise but in longevity of your pumps and motors it would make a difference. if you mow alot of hills then the cross porting is something you certainly would want to have. if you mow mostly just flat areas all the time then it's probably not really needed.
Didn't even know I had this on my machine I guess. Don't have many hills around here and trade off the machines every other year anyways.
Both of your Z925's have the cross porting in them. Now you have a bargaining chip when you sell or trade.
Just bought one last week, hate the '13 model. Got lucky and found a '12 at another dealer still available. Shop around, there is still a couple out there. The 950a is a bad machine!!!

Chris: What did you not like about the '13 machine compared to '12?
I hate the convenience package, and they re did the looks of the overall machine. I just don't think it looks as good. Looks more like the old 700 series....757,777 type

Personally I like how the mowers look. You can still add a foot pedal for deck lift on the c and c. You can swap out the hand brake for the foot brake as well. A standard 930M ( 60" deck 24.5 hp?) is cheaper than the 925a (same deck size and engine).
Personally I don't care much for the C and C. All I want is my regular handle bars and my foot brake.
They offer three seats now. The standard, semi suspension and full suspension.
Middle scalping wheels are different. They look bigger. They have one bolt that goes straight through with a nut at the end. Much better than the other stupid design they had with the hook at the end.
theres just something that ticks me off about having to order accesories I dont want or need, pay 13k for, then pay even more to buy the foot pedal or deck lift when they just as easily could have shipped it the way I wanted and for less than having to deal with some dipshits "brilliant" idea to make classes for mowers and essentually build down the mower (no crossporting etc) to get options I want. This isnt some Merceds where to get the heated and cooled seats I need the heated stearing wheel I dont want, this is bare bones basic crap that is not a luxery but a simple matter of my business and lively hood they are making difficult for no reason other than utter stupidity because they cant simply cant leave well enough along or just offer options like every freakin other manufacture does.
I hope whomever came up with this loses his job and fast!
May be wrong on this, but I don't we are talking about the 925a, but the 950a. The 930m and the 950a is not the same engine

We have been organising an annual Hypospadias Study-day since 1996 in Istanbul, where we invited distinguished surgeons to lecture on their experience in hypospadias. The main idea of the Hypospadias Study-day is to dedicate a full day to a surgeon, to learn about his approach to hypospadias, operative techniques, surgical details, and outcomes. The programme includes lectures and video recordings of operations introduced by the invited surgeon himself. The Hypospadias Study-day is a friendly meeting where experience is openly shared. We come together on a week-end, on the last week of November or first week of December, and are planning to hold our Hypospadias Study-day on 5 December 2015, which is a Saturday. The event is attended by some 50 paediatric and adult urologists, paediatric surgeons, and plastic surgeons and residents. Our Study-day day starts at 10 o'clock in the morning; we have lunch together, and continue till around 4 in the afternoon.

More About Old Mr. Zhang and His Finest Production (Or One Of Them)
My previous blog ended, after a long build-up, by advising all readers, if they haven't done so already, to go off and watch the last-minute insert in Addendum 2B, the last item in our now-completed Pure and Remote View series, which is to be found (and watched and listened to) some twenty minutes into that last lecture, the one titled "Riverbank: A Closer Look." It has been accessible on my website and the IEAS's for several weeks now, and I have been waiting for responses from colleagues without yet receiving any. Well, one former student, writing me about something else, adds at the end: "Your Zhang Daqian bricks video is great. Something else to look for when I see it." When she next sees the original painting, that is--a good response: see for yourself. I wish I could still travel to look at it once more, but I can't, and don't really need to: the evidence is clear enough from the photographs, and from Rand Chatterjee's skillful drawing up from them (under my guidance), from scattered places across the surface of the work, the damning, clearly identifying pattern.
Several weeks earlier, about two weeks before these final Addenda were posted on the web, I sent an email out to some twenty colleagues who have been especially engaged in the Riverbank controversy, on one side or the other, giving them a reference to a website that would afford them early access to these Addenda so that they would have a preview and not be surprised and unprepared when they were publicly posted. And then I waited for responses. And what were they? The same as the responses to our two press releases for the PRV lecture series; that is: nothing, nil, nada. My well-meant pre-notices sank like stones in the water. I wrote to one of the twenty, someone I've believed to be relatively neutral and fair-minded while not one of my students, and have been carrying on a correspondence with him since then. It was he who, when I sent him an earlier version of this blog in which I castigated my colleagues for their non-response, wrote back advising against doing this. And, following his good advice, I've toned it down considerably.
I did receive, however, a supportive email from a recent correspondent named John Rohrer, who wrote (and I quote with his permission):
"I just finished viewing Addendum 1B: Riverbank: The Controversy, and Addendum 2B: Riverbank: A Closer Look
I understand now why you couldn't just leave well enough alone. I bought and read Issues of Authenticity in Chinese Painting a few years ago,
And I have to admit I did not know whose opinion was right.
"I am now convinced that you are correct in your attribution on Riverbank. The arguments that really swayed me...
First, your problem with the water being shown with no sense of depth. I have attached some ammunition that I think helps support your observation of the problem with the water representation in Riverbank. The image that I have attached is from page 107 of Zhang Daqian's Chinese Painting published in 1988 by Ho Kungshang in Taiwan. The image shows Zhang creating a uniform pattern of waves that show no depth or recession, similar to the wave pattern that you pointed to. The presentation of water became to Zhang Daqian a stylistic problem not one of occularity. [See Fig. 1 for this image.\
"Second, I think I found Zhang Daqian's signature treatment of tree branches in Riverbank. Zhang Daqian trees are at times 'mind trees' that do not really exist, but instead bend and twist into abstract patterns that could not be found in nature. He tended to leave the unpainted media as the base for some of his trees. Examples are attached. [See Fig. 2 for this image.]
"To quote you "open mind and open eyes"
Your student
John Rohrer"
I wrote him back with thanks and appreciation for his opinions and his pictures, adding "If it was an irrefutable argument before, now it will be irrefutable plus two." His pictures, taken from Zhang's own publication of some of his paintings intended for teaching students how to depict water, trees, etc., do indeed match up so closely with the same in Riverbank as to provide still another nail in its coffin. (The time should come soon when it can no long rise out of the coffin, like Count Dracula, to go on plaguing us all.) Rohrer's three-part juxtaposition of Zhang's painting of trees--two from his acknowledged pictures flanking the detail from Riverbank (the cover of the Symposium volume!)--is devastatingly convincing as all coming from the same hand, that of my late friend. I reproduce the photos he sent, again with his permission. (Figs. 1 & 2 )
The time will also come, I hope while I am still here to observe it, when this whole affair will be recognized as a case of brilliant and large-scale art forgery that at least matches, and in some respects surpasses, the project of forging Vermeer and other Dutch masters by Hans van Meegeren, I remember very well when that story "broke" in the 1940s, and was the subject of numerous articles in the popular press and several books. (I show and talk about several of van Meegeren's forgeries briefly in my "Authenticity and Dating" lecture, Addendum 2A.) I read these with great interest, and recall especially that for a time there were still those who said: "Yes, he made Vermeer forgeries; but the 'Supper at Emmaus' [his finest production] can't possibly be one of them--that, at least, is a great Vermeer painting." And I expect the same will be true for some time of Zhang's forgeries; some will be holdouts, saying "Yes, but not Riverbank!" But that position cannot survive for long either; the evidence piles up--or, rather, is increasingly recognized (it's always been there)--and Riverbank will have to be added into Zhang's creations, in the end, as "Supper At Emmaus" was added to van Meegeren's.
And even then, there will still be a few of his works going unrecognized, still treasured and exhibited and published as old paintings, especially those in Chinese museums--I think of two in the Shanghai Museum, one in the Palace Museum, Beijing--perhaps I will identify these in a future blogs. (But the one in Beijing, an "Emperor Huizong" painting of a rock, is already identified in PRV 10B, the second of the two Birds-and-Flowers lectures.) So Zhang Daqian will continue to fool some of the leading scholars and curators in the Chinese art world for a long time to come. You still move among us, old friend, and prove again that Barnum was right: you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. You can, that is, if you are Zhang Daqian. I will end by reproducing another photograph of him (Fig. 3), which I took from the web, positioning it so that he seems to be gazing up at these words of mine and saying (in Japanese, our common language in which we always conversed): Good, friend Cahill, keep working at it--now that the paintings are out of my hands and into the museums, I'm happy to have them credited to me, instead of to all those old guys. And I respond: OK, Cho-sensei, I'll go on doing my best to see that they are.
Yours, James Cahill

Cabbage is an inexpensive vegetable to use. I always think of coleslaw when I see cabbage but it does make a great warm dish too. This is really easy recipe that makes for a quick side dish. Plus you gotta love a dish with bacon in it!
Bacon Cabbage
4 strips of bacon
I onion diced
1 green pepper diced
¼ cup or less sugar (as desired)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 head of cabbage chopped in sizes you desire
Cajun pepper (if you want yours to have a kick to it)
In a pot, allow your bacon to brown. Toss in diced onions and peppers to brown a little. Add in your cabbage, sugar, salt, and pepper and cook until cabbage is tender. Serve hot as a side dish or alone in a bowl!

Cannon Beach, OR
So sorry for the break - we have been on vacation in the gorgeous coastal town of Cannon Beach, Oregon where my husband grew up.
While we were there, we stayed at the Stephanie Inn and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit. The rooms are fantastic (especially if you get one with a giant jacuzzi tub and a beach view), the staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and the amenities are stellar.
Included in your stay is an outstanding breakfast buffet each morning with hot items, oatmeal, house made yogurt, tasty pastries, and outstanding jams. There is also a 24-hour coffee, tea, and hot chocolate stand in the lobby and a jar that is continuously filled with fresh baked cookies (of which my husband ate many). Sodas/waters in the mini fridge are complementary and refilled every day, and they have both a complimentary wine tasting and night cap in the evenings.
For an extra charge they have services like a bath butler, a fire butler who builds a fire on the beach and gives you a s'mores kit, and a packed beach lunch with 2 giant sandwiches (each big enough for 2), apples, chips, salads, and drinks in a cute tote. The spa treatments are also amazing - set in private spa rooms each with their own treatment tables, color- and aroma-therapy hot tub, and steam shower.
The Stephanie also has a fine dining restaurant that is pretty good, especially if you are staying at the Inn. The menu changes weekly and we were satisfied when we ate there (though not blown away - though that might be because we ate at EVOO first).
EVOO is a unique beast - a kitchen shop by day that hosts cooking demonstration dinner shows by night. Entertainment and a meal in one, this place is not only a lot of fun - it is also the best food in Cannon Beach.
The owners are chef husband and nutritionist wife duo Bob and Lenore Neroni. The couple put on the informative (and delicious) show together and are engaging and friendly. In addition to giving cooking tips, they also teach about wine tasting and give relationship advice.
The menu for each night consists of three entrees and a dessert (so come hungry) all cooked right in front of you and paired with wine. Everything they serve is as seasonal and local as possible.
Our first course was fresh King Salmon, wild caught just north of us at the mouth of the Columbia River. It was perfectly cooked and the best salmon we had on the trip. It was served with a bulgar wheat and cucumber salad, and a fresh beet and arugula salad with walnuts and feta cheese, very tasty.
The second entree was a pork scaloppini with ricotta, honey, and tomato jam served over fresh fettuccine with roasted cherry tomatoes and basil. This was probably my favorite because it was something that I could easily see my self making at home. And topping pasta with not a sauce, but roasted tomatoes? Brilliant. This will be happening all summer.
The last entree was a leg of duck confit with five-spice (the only thing not made in front of us, though the technique was explained) with vegetable fried rice. Seeing the technique for making fried rice was really interesting, and definitely something that I want to try (finally a use for that leftover rice from PF Changs!)
Lastly, the dessert: sour cream vanilla bean cake with frozen chocolate custard, whipped creme fraiche, strawberry rhubarb compote, candied peanuts, and mint. I was almost in a food coma by this point, but this was super tasty as well.
We had a blast here and would highly recommend it to anyone! They ask for allergy/dietary restrictions beforehand and yes, vegetarians are welcome.
My recommendation for casual dining in Cannon Beach is the Lumberyard Grill which has gigantic burgers (as you can see) along with pizzas, rockfish and dungeness crab specialties, and steaks. It's a big place with lots of seating and a cool bar area.
Ecola Seafoods is also pretty cool - a fish market that also has tables for a quick bite. The clam chowder is pretty good but the fish and chips are awesome. We ordered traditional cod, but they also serve halibut, salmon, and tuna along with fried clams, shrimp, oysters, scallops, you name it!
Other places in town that I would recommend are Sleepy Monk Coffee, Crepe Neptune, and Chocolate Cafe (Mayan hot chocolate/shake is awesome).
One place I would not recommend is Wayfarer - it is overpriced and just not that tasty.
No trackbacks yet.

As I grow as a business person and as a business, I have put myself into the fortunate position to be able to take advantage (and foresee) a ton of opportunity to make money. Some of the ideas have come about because of an increased economy and timing, some because of increased understanding of a few more businesses. The common denominator is it takes money. Some times it's securing product. Others it's equipment. Seeing the opportunity is half the battle but without cash it's not much use. Yes you can take on investment but really all you want is money, not more people involved. Sharing the kitty makes others wealthy and you less wealthy. I'm at that point this fall. I have some money, it's just my business and opportunities are now in the millions and my time is almost topped out. I'm giddy with the possibilities and scared to death as I move towards fulfilling them. Not to mention a little tired. I enjoy rewarding those that are coming along for the ride and helping me reach my goals, but it also gets frustrating because they are always the first to be rewarded (as they should) as the big money that comes is always in a much longer time period. I am only writing this now because of upcoming talks next week with city planners, banks, and possible clients, and it's been a little while since I've been nervous. A little nervous because I'm excited and a little because of all the work and effort that is going to be needed. I often wonder if I have more to give or if I want more. More money, more responsibilities, more long hours. Of course, I'll share as I go along. Here are today's names.
NaturalDetox.com Californians love natural detox. Liquid diets, enemas, all kind of good stuff. 16 years old. At $71 at press time which is less than you can charge for one detox
FlyingFuck.com Make this a Christmas gift for a loved one. Then you can say you gave one. 15 years old
ThePaperBag.com No bidders. I like the name and think it would make a good brand and easily flippable for under $30
EVEB.com Good acronym and all the bidders agree
MyKarma.com The new web is all about karma.
WhereToShop.com 11 years old You could use this to show people where to shop
PVIP.com It's always nice to feel like a VIP. It's even better to own a LLLL.com with VIP in it. 28 other people think so too
Cashier.co Solid dot co
Ultra.co I probably should buy this one. Pretty close to Cultra. Was going to name my company Ultra Company went with Rocket Donkey
Noodle.co Starting to notice a shitton of dot co dropping today
989.co I have no idea if NNN.co have any value. I know they have some because this one has bids
Beg.co OK one more. If you like dot co. This is your day. If you don't, it proves a lot
26K.com The bidding on all NNL.com should start at $500. Nothing is worth less IMO
NEW Thursday!!!! Working Godaddy Domain Code of the day. 25% off new items added to cart. Great for new gTLDs bb2017a
RedGull.com Pretty sure most are bidding this as a typo of Red Bull although it is a pretty decent brand
RiverOak.com Short ,two word domain. A good path to success
Jesso.com A popular name in our area. I personally know 20 or 30 Jessos
BatteryCars.com The future of cars. Hydrogen smytrogen
Wakk.com Not sure why this is getting so many bids.
015.org I'm watching just to see what a NNN.org is worth
Posas.com Spanish for butt. I'm not a posas man but I appreciate the work it takes to have a nice one
BONUS PICKS from the World Domain Day Auction using SnapNames
VHJ.com I like these three because the reserves are all $5K to $10K so they should sell. Even with the J
(none of these names are mine nor do I know the owners, at least I don't think I do)
Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details. *All names chosen by me, Shane, and the goal of this list is to have all links be paid through commission . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don't think the stats or my opinion is correct.

The 6 Expectations of a Leadership Coaching Session
Expectation #1: Your leadership coaching sessions will be done over the phone.
(Note: Some clients choose in-person sessions, which can be arranged based on your locality.)
Hang on to your parasols …. The most effective sessions are over the phone?
It's true, but let me tell you I started out as a critic in thinking that the phone approach would be workable. Now, every certified coach I know conducts his or her sessions telephonically.
Question: How in the world can you pick up on all those non-verbal messages when on a phone?Answer: Actually, you don't. But you do sense many verbal indicators and you can hear those loud and clear. And consider this … a typical part of leadership coaching is improved communication skills. If you are saying something with your body, but not being forward about it in your words, you are not communicating effectively. Coaching clients learn to pick up on their feelings and mannerisms and articulate them into words. A terrific leadership skill.
Another Question: Then is there an overwhelming advantage to telephonic coaching? And the Answer: You bet! Think how much easier it is to schedule a phone call versus a face-to-face call. All you have to do is be near a phone, in a comfortable quiet place. Sitting in your car is great – convenient, quiet. (preferably not moving …)
Expectation #2: Expect your coach to talk less than you.
A coaching session is largely a question-driven interaction, and the coach is asking the focusing questions. You are in self-discovery mode or in problem-solving mode. You should be contributing to the progress of your development by talking through situations and outlining needs.
If this is not the case, you may be getting a consultant and not a coach.
Expectation #3: Be prepared to do at least a little of the prep work.
The coaching session is for you and about you. (This is actually the best part … time dedicated to yourself, like a personal respite). To make it time best-spent for you, have your agenda lined out. Identify something you want for yourself. See the next note though …
Expectation #4: If you do not have a focused topic or two to bring up in your coaching sessions, do not expect the world to change for you.
But know also that you can begin a coaching session without a clearcut idea of where to start. It is not unusual to start a session without specifically articulating the heart of the topic or the outcome you need. Often you can get there in the first ten minutes of discussion, especially if the coach is adept at inquiry.
Expectation #5: Expect your coaching sessions to evolve over time.
They may have a natural ebb and flow to them, based on what you have hoppin' at that time. Some sessions may be about tactical matters, while others may project far into the future.
Expectation #6: Expect to learn about yourself.
Much of it you may have known, at some obscure level, but when you start working through it vocally, it cultivates into something with an intended direction.
A quick sense of how you may grow with coaching…
As a litmus test, look back 10 years ago at what you thought you knew about yourself at the time. Compare that to where you are now. You may call your past-self naive or less-refined.
Now look to the future and imagine what you could become, with the same growth curve you have experienced in the past. Then, envision coaching accelerating that growth curve, and arriving at that next-level in half the time.
YES! That's what you can accomplish.
Most coaches will offer a free initial session to get comfortable with the process.

Read our important medical disclaimer.
Is it possible at all to have LASIK surgery while under general anesthesia? I read about places in other states being able to do it that way. Is there a place in Florida that does this?
It may be possible to do LASIK under general anesthesia, but that presents procedural challenges as the laser facilities are generally kept separate from general anesthesia operating rooms. This is because the most patients do very well undergoing LASIK with mild sedation. Also, it is better that the patient be awake to focus on a light during the procedure. Lastly the risks of general anesthesia are typically higher than those of LASIK. Most LASIK practices do not offer general anesthesia, but you could inquire and may find one that does. I am not aware of any.

When Seeking Long-Term Profit, Consider Long-Term Environmental Risks
6 April 2012 - Triple Pundit
While investment banks have typically financed whatever clients request, the Equator Principles developed by the World Bank have set environmental and social guidelines that have taken hold because they also address and mitigate investment risk. For project finance, which includes $315 billion of annual debt and equity going to new energy or infrastructure developments worldwide, the Equator Principles are applied in nearly 75 percent of those transactions, many of which happen in emerging economies (Project Finance; Environmental Data Services 2008). These principles have gradually spilled over into the everyday financings of some investment banks. Read More.
Are Thai Bankers' Ready for the Equator Principles? An Interview with the Secretary-General of The Thai Bankers Association
4 April 2012 - IFC
As a growing number of Thai banks finance ever more hydropower projects in the Mekong region, IFC is striving to raise the sustainability of such multi-million dollar infrastructure investments by familiarizing banks with environmental and social risk management tools. Earlier this month, IFC and The Thai Bankers' Association held a workshop in Bangkok to discuss how Thai banks can manage their exposure to environmental and social risks while taking leadership in fostering sustainable economic growth in the Mekong region.

Five Questions about the Equator Principles
2 April 2012 - Earth Capital Partners, Richard Burrett
"The Equator Principles (EPs) are a voluntary set of standards for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk in project financing. Project financiers often encounter environmental and social issues that are both complex and challenging, particularly with respect to projects in the emerging markets. Equator Principles Financial Institutions (EPFIs) commit to not providing loans to projects where the borrower will not or is unable to comply with their respective environmental and social policies as well as procedures that implement the EPs. The Equator Principles were developed by private sector banks and launched in June 2003. The banks have modeled on the environmental and social standards and policies of the International Finance Corporation (IFC); now called Performance Standards. The Equator Principles have become the de facto standard for banks and investors on how to assess major development projects around the world." Read More.
Equator Principles III better be good
29 March 2012 - BankTrack, Johan Frijns
The Equator Principles Association (Association) this week announced a new delay in the release of the third version of the Equator Principles (EPIII). In a brief statement, the Association stated that it is "continuing internal discussions with its members on the first draft of EP III and as a result the overall timeline for the EP III Update process has been extended again" The release of EPIII is now foreseen for October 2012, but "The timeline might be subject to further extension if deemed necessary." Read More.
The Equator Principles are being updated: under "EP III" process
20 February 2012 - Forest Peoples Programme
Principle 3 provides the 'Applicable Social and Environmental Standards' which are supposed to be implemented according to the requirements of the remaining 9 principles. The Applicable Social and Environmental Standards are the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) plus other relevant Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines, although 'justified deviation' from these standards is permitted. In August 2011, the IFC Board adopted a revised set of Performance Standards and, in late 2011, the Equator Principles Association adopted these revised IFC Performance Standards in their entirety into the Applicable Social & Environmental Standards, Principle 3, of the Equator Principles. This incorporation became effective on 1 January, 2012. Read More.
Banking Industry in China: More regulations for being socially responsible
15 February 2012 - CSR Asia, Brian Ho
Since the second half of 2011 there have been various news reports about the difficulties for companies, especially small and medium sized enterprises, to receive business loans in China due to a tightening of bank policy. Some banks have been criticised for increasing the interest rates through different measures and causing SMEs in China to go for usurious loans. There are some cases where business people have committed suicide or have become "runaway bosses" as they cannot repay the business loan. However, when comparing the banking industry with other industries, profit in the financial sector is maintained at high level. Criticism about the social responsibility of banks, especially state-owned ones, has appeared in mainstream media and the public has come to the consensus that banks should be more socially responsible and support those companies and local economies that need help. CSR has become an important agenda for the banking industry. Read More.

Non-compliance with equator principles: Constraint to obtaining finance for energy projects
8 December 2011 - Business Day Online, Ayodele Oni
The Equator Principles represent a credit risk management framework for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk for transactions requiring Project Finance. Project finance on the other hand, is a means of funding in which the lender or financier looks primarily to the revenues generated a project, as opposed to the balance sheet, both as the source of repayment and as security for the exposure. Project Finance, plays an important role in financing energy projects and infrastructural development throughout the world. This financing method, is usually for large, complex and expensive installations, infrastructure and structures and would include, for example, power plants, chemical processing plants, mines, transportation infrastructure such as trains and telecommunications infrastructure.

Putting some bite into the Equator Principles
29 November 2011 - Project Finance Magazine
There has been persistent scepticism about the Equator Principles' ability to encourage best practice at participating banks. But evidence from the mining industry is that they are changing sponsor behaviour. By Christopher Langdon and Claudia O'Brien, partners, Latham & Watkins. Since 2003, Equator Principles financial institutions, most of them major banks, have provided about 85% of the world's project finance capacity. These institutions provide financing only to projects that comply with the Equator Principles, a voluntary set of guidelines designed to ensure large projects are financed in socially and environmentally responsible ways.

Chinese carbon market has 'potential'
17 November 2011 - China Daily, Wei Tian
The carbon market in China has "substantial" potential, and will be decisive to the global carbon price once a national system emerges, Rachel Kyte, Vice-President of the World Bank, said on Wednesday. … Kyte called for more Chinese banks to sign up for the Equator Principles, a set of guidelines that require signatory banks to take into account environmental and social issues when financing development projects. … "Chinese banks are increasingly global players, and it would be important to see major banks in China adopting a principle that is also globally recognized," Kyte said.

Like most restaurants, your establishment houses an ice machine, coffee brewer, espresso machine, soda dispenser, steam equipment, or perhaps all of the above. These pieces of kitchen equipment all require one vital ingredient: tap water. The quality of that water can vary depending on your local water system, but all water coming through your tap has been treated with chlorine and/or chloramines. These compounds are safe to drink, but can alter the taste of water. 3M Technologies treats water as if it were an ingredient in your food and beverages.
Because water is such an important ingredient, 3M offers water filters built specifically for the foodservice industry. But chlorine odor & taste is not the only issue that can arise from unfiltered water. Tap water can also contain any of the following: trihalomethane (TTHM), lead, sediment, cysts, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium (hex), chromium(tri), copper, fluoride, radium, selenium, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), mercury, asbestos, MTBE, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Same as with ingredients in your food: you'd rather not see big scary words like trihalomethane in you drinking water. 3M water filters work hard to reduce these contaminants from all of your kitchen equipment that use tap water.
A third element of tap water is hard minerals that build up in your ice machine or other equipment and create what's called scale. Scale build-up is corrosive and can also reduce the efficiency of your machine. Tundra offers 3M Water Filtration Products that use Triple Action Filtration to reduce sediment, chlorine taste & odor, and scale formation.
Let's take a walk through the kitchen and consider the common kitchen equipment that uses water as an ingredient. How can adding a 3M water filter improve the quality of your products and save you money at the same time?
The Ice Machine:
Ice machines present two possible dilemmas when it comes to water filtration: corrosion or scale build-up, and bad tasting ice from chlorine and contaminants.
The look and taste of your ice cubes can make or break your beverage program. A 3M ICE190S water filter will reduce residual chlorine in the water so that your ice doesn't get that stale, somewhat metallic odor of chlorine. Chlorine also has corrosive effects on equipment, so reducing it eliminates the corrosion of metal surfaces within the machine.
Furthermore, a 3M ice machine filter protects ice machine parts like valves, O-rings, seals, and evaporators which are subject to corrosion and scale build-up.
Coffee, Tea, and Espresso Makers.
With the rise in specialty coffee shops and boutique tea houses, consumers are not only more conscious of flavor nuances, but they are flooded with options when it comes to great tasting coffee and tea. Chlorine and other organic sediment from your tap water can leave a bitter taste to your beverages. A 3M BREW Water Filter is equipped to eliminate chlorine taste, prohibit scale build-up on heating coils, and reduce sediment that can clog the spray head on your coffee brewer's brew basket. Choose a 3M water filter if you want great tasting coffee and less maintenance costs on your brewer or espresso machine.
And for really great tasting espresso, go with a 3M ESP124-T Water Softener System. This filtration device not only reduces chlorine from your water source, but it softens the water using Strong-acid (SAC) ion exchange to remove calcium and magnesium ions. It then replaces those with sodium ions which enhances the flavor of the espresso.
Cold Beverage Dispensers
3M believes in delivering Recipe Quality Water™ for your soda machine or cold beverage station. High amounts of total dissolved solids (TDS) can cloud your beverages. Avoid serving unappealing drinks and equip your beverage dispenser with a High Flow Filtration System. This filter system will lower sediment levels and chlorine taste & odor. Cleaning out sediment also elongates the life of the machine by avoiding corrosion and abrasion of pumps, valves, seals, and O-rings.
Steamers, Combi Ovens, and Proofers
Any cooking equipment that uses steam to cook food product can be the most expensive to maintain. Low quality water that hasn't been filtered can cause failure and a costly call to the service tech. Using a 3M ScaleGard™ Filter System with I.M.P.A.C.T (Advanced Integrated Membrane Pre-Activated Carbon Technology) reduces scale build-up that can block drains, cause unnecessary maintenance costs, and slow down the efficiency of the machine. Not to mention the energy savings by reducing the scale build-up.
Depending on the equipment you use, you'll need to pick the right 3M filtration device, and we're here to help you. No matter which 3M filter you go with, these commercial foodservice filters are built to withstand the volume, usability, and product quality you demand for your food service establishment.Shop All 3M Water Filters

text: difficult child got fired from her retail job in mid-June for stealing. Mr. Ostrich believes her story about how she was accidentally keying in a second coupon after scanning a first....claims she "didn't know" double coupons are not allowed. THIS after having told him that she was fired, over the phone no less, for not meeting her sales quota. This is a major national retailer. I don't think they made a mistake in this matter. Plus she signed a promisory note agreeing to make restitution. He believes her because, when the letter for loss prevention arrived (she doesn't have a key to his mailbox), she quickly provided the answer. Oh, it must be the truth then. So, why the lie in the first place if she is so misunderstood? Why, she was fired for BOTH things. So. It is now mid-July and she has made almost no effort to get a job. She whiles away her days watching netflix, posting on tumblr and facebook and hanging out with her dufus boyfriend. But she tells daddy she is applying EVERYWHERE. . and he believes her. He told her when she was fired that she had to come up with the $65 for her license stickers (due at the end of June). He would not pay it. Then he did - as a birthday gift. He told her he would not pay her car insurance (due this week) to the tune of $611. He would take her keys if she did not come up with the money. When he rescued her with the license plates, I pointed out that all she is learnign is to wait until the last minute and she will be rescued. If you do this with the insurance, you'll seal the deal. "OH, I am NOT paying the insurance. She pays it or I TAKE THE KEYS." Guess what. Yep, daddy paid the insurance. Of course, she has promised to pay him $51 per month. How, pray tell? How on earth will he enforce this? The insurance is PAID. Today, she posted on FB that she's watching the Order of the Phoenix ... to cheer herself up. I have no intention of speaking to him about this. He is the master of the excuse "why, she can't look for a job without a car." Sheesh!!!!! She simply never has to suffer any consequences. Drop out of school with no notice to parents? Dont' worry, dad will let you work part time - or not at all - continue to employ his cleaning lady so you don't have to lift a finger, subscribe to neflix and not make you pay rent. Get fired for stealing? Don't worry, daddy believes you - poor misunderstood thing. Steal money and vicoden from daddy? Well, he can't prove it.....can he? Thank you for letting me rant. There is nowhere - and I mean NOWHERE - in the real world where I can go with this and not sound like a crazy person. Sigh. Dash

I added a new bike to the collection today — an MEC Hold Steady.
This will be an interesting ride as I've never ridden with an internally-geared hub before.
Once I've put it through a few hundred kilometers I'll write up a review and post it.

bike, holdsteady, hub, nexus, shimano
So, how are you liking it? it's been a month!
Yikes, it has been!
Quick answer – I really like it. Comfort level is high, the lack of a derailleur is great (no fudging with High/Low screws or other derailleur finessing. I do wish the lowest gear was lower though. It's fine now but I can see it being a bit too high for snowy or icy riding. I might look into switching out the front chainring for one slightly smaller to bring all the gearing down a bit. I'll post a more detailed review of the bike in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks for updating! It's hard to find some information about this bike. I was also looking at the Trek Soho, but it seems that the MEC's components are better. I'm just wondering why they didn't put a track chain (1/8″) instead of a regular 3/32″ one. Not a big deal, it's just a detail. Anyways thanks, and I'm looking forward to the full review!
If you're interested in finding out some more about the Soho, I'll ask one of my cohorts at work to respond with some feedback. He picked up a Soho not too long ago. I haven't got around to seeing it yet, but I'm definitely interested in checking out the belt drive.
Finally, I eliminated the Soho from the short list because of the hub brakes. We have a few steep hills in Montréal also the drivers are a bit crazy so I really want disks to be able to bite into the asphalt.
My new shortlist is
– Mec Hold Steady (Alfine + chain + hydraulic disc + alu/carbon)
– Giant Seek 0 (Alfine + chain + hydraulic disc + alu)
– Norco Ceres (Alfine + belt drive + mechanical disc + steel)
Anyways, looking forward to your in depth review!
I have the Trek Soho, and I'm pretty pleased with it, overall.
1. Nothing to maintain, really. Ride it, park it, and repeat.
2. Well thought out as an urban bike (very plain finish, doesn't say "steal me")
3. Like the fenders and belt guard.
1. To replace a flat seems like a big deal (especially rear). The belt can't be broken, so it is a split rear triangle and a bunch of fiddling (lots of bolts, retensioning,…)
2. Need to validate this, but there seems to be a noticable "efficiency penalty." Primary contributors would be the weight of the bike, the belt, the drum brakes, the hub.
3. The factory seat does not match my physiology particularly well.
4. The brakes won't exactly stop you on a dime. Not an issue so far.
5. If you did want or have to maintain it, it would be tricky for bolt-strippers like me.
6. My particular rear hub isn't exactly smooth, although the "adjustment indicators" are aligned. I'll review with the bike shop (others seems happy with their hubs, which are the same).
7. Flat pedals, but its an "urban bike."
Good bike if you are after virtually no maintenance. Might be best suited for somewhat short commutes in rainy climates.
FYI I bought a Hold Steady about a month ago and I'm loving it! It's the perfect urban bike. Not sure I'd lock it outside for too long, but other than that, it's awesome!
I fitted it with Bike Friday PC fenders and a Tubus Cargo rack. I also put some black Scotchlight tape on a couple of places on the frame and a couple of 2W Planet Bike Blaze lights on front and rear lights as I almost only ride at night.
JP, where did you find the black Scotchlight tape? I've been looking locally without much luck…

|The Creamy Redhead & The Black Buttmaster|http://www.scorevideos.com/modeldir/data/posting/44/570/posting_44570_x_xl.jpg|How do you feel about cheating wives or cheating girlfriends? Cheating wives are so bad they're good. And that's very good.
Redheaded bra-buster Desiree is a Voluptuous Girl who returned ten years after a one-hit solo debut in 2001. Desiree was a tourist on Pompano Beach, Florida when one of our photographers walked over to her and gave her his card.
In this nasty knocker-knocking, Desiree pairs up with Assante, opening her cunt and asshole for his large black fuck-stick. Desiree wasn't kidding around when she said she planned to make up for lost time.
Desiree says fucking at SCORE with professional cocksmen has actually amped up her sex life. "A lot of guys can't keep up with me," Desiree told us. "They cum too fast, or they don't want to have sex when I do. It was no fun for me. The guys I sleep with can't even last like two minutes in my vagina. They never even tit-fucked me. There is no way that those guys can try and fuck my ass!" Big things are ahead for this curvy redhead!
On this day, Desiree gets a phone call while she waits to head out for the evening with her husband. He can't pick her up so he sends his employee Assante to pick her up and drive her to him. That suits Desiree just fine because he's fucked her before. They haven't seen each other in a year and his jizz-shooter gets hard seeing her huge 36F tits ready to plop out of her tight tank top. They decide to get some sex time in before they do the drive. Desiree lays back on the couch to have her cunt eaten and her nipples sucked. She wants to fuck his chocolate bar so bad she can taste it and she does, spitting and licking it to rock-hardness.
The couch is too small so they head to the bedroom. He undresses Desiree completely naked and barefoot, and she gets on him in reverse cowgirl position. But instead of going into her P-hole first, he inserts his cunt-wedge right into her asshole. "Oh yeah...fuck," mutters Desiree, her anal zone invaded by his meat missile. This bitch and her butt crack is his. All Desiree can moan is "fuck...fuck...fuck," over and over, like the plaything she is, as his tool mercilessly stretches her lovely anus. "The Creamy Redhead & The Black Buttmaster" is based on a true story. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Liquid flow batteries – in which the positive and negative electrodes are each in liquid form and separated by a membrane – are not a new concept, and some use same lithium-ion technology as today's batteries. In this case, key components are not solid slabs that remain in place for the life of the battery, but rather tiny particles that can be carried along in a liquid slurry. Increasing storage capacity simply requires bigger tanks to hold the slurry.
Previous versions of liquid batteries have relied on complex systems of tanks, valves, and pumps, adding to the cost and providing multiple opportunities for possible leaks and failures.
The passive, gravity-fed arrangement similar to an old-fashioned hourglass, could offer great advantages due to the system's low cost and the simplicity of its design and operation, say the researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA). The new version, which substitutes a simple gravity feed for the pump system, eliminates that complexity.
The rate of energy production can be adjusted simply by changing the angle of the device, thus speeding up or slowing down the rate of flow. The design is not expected to go into production as it is but demonstrates some new ideas that can ultimately lead to a real product, says Yet-Ming Chiang, Kyocera Professor of Ceramics at MIT.
The design has particles flowing through a narrow opening from one tank to another. The flow can then be reversed by turning the device over. In this case, the overall shape looks more like a rectangular window frame, with a narrow slot at the place where two sashes would meet in the middle.

One day in 2001, I went into Slap and Joe ceremoniously handed me a roll of film as though it were a delicate egg. It was (expensive, sensitive, fragile) infrared film, and they had bought a handful of rolls for an article: "one roll per photographer, load in complete darkness, don't get it warm or cold and bracket your exposures". Well, I knew Scott was always down for a covert experiment, so one night we went and set up this f/s boardslider, I crossed my fingers and thankfully the photo came out. Portrait previously unpublished. (In real life, the bar and logo were red, the bushes were traditional green, and his arms were black.)

Gary Phillips takes one of the world's most stunning train journeys with Rail Europe, the Jungfraubahn train to the top of Europe – The Jungfraujoch. At over 3500 metres or 11,000 feet, its the highest building in Europe. Make sure you watch the video at the bottom of this page.
When you stand back to look at the position of the Jungfraujoch from the rail station down below at Kleine Scheidegg you have to wonder how anyone had the idea to build a rail station so high up in what must be one of the most challenging and exposed places in Europe. Yet in 1893 Adolf Guyer-Zellar looked up and decided that there should be a railway station all the way up on the rocks in the cradle of the mountains in between Mönch and the Jungfrau in the Bernese Alps.
To this day the Jungfraujoch remains the highest railway station in Europe, but still 100 metres or so below the intended target of the surface rock. A service lift takes you the final 100 metres to the Sphinx Observatory which is set at a height of (3,571 meters (11,716 ft). You can walk even higher than here during the summer when trails are opened up alongside the Jungfrau Mountain itself from where you can actually look down over 100 metres above the Sphinx.
The only way to reach this point is to take the 7.3 km train line using the cog-wheel railway operated by Jungfraubahn from Kleine Scheidegg station through the rocks of the mountain and the only realistic way to reach Kleine Scheidegg is also by train from Lauterbrunnen one side or Grindelwald on the other.
We took the train all the way from London. We started out by gathering at London St. Pancras Rail Station at 06:30 to catch the 07:22 Eurostar train to Paris. We arrived in Paris Gare du Nord at 10:47 local time to walk the 5 minutes or so across to Gare de l'Est where we could catch the new TGV Est Européene to Strasbourg. This new line was the fastest in the world until 2009 when one of the new high speed lines in China was completed, but in any case we still marvelled at the full speed of 320km/hour we achieved on the way to Strasbourg. On arrival at Strasbourg we grabbed some lunch while we waited for the onward train which left for Basel at 14:51. We arrived in Basel at 16:08 where we were to connect to the final destination of Interlaken West to arrive at 18:57. A short walk followed to the Hotel Oberland where we had a fine dinner that evening accompanied by some horn-blowing and coin spinning in traditional Swiss drunken style.
The next day was the big one though. Yes it was another day on trains, but nothing like the daily Clapham Junction to Victoria type train. The first led was from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen. As the name implies, Interlaken is situated in between two lakes surrounded by high mountains so the short journey to Lauterbrunnen was fantastically beautiful in itself. At Lauterbrunnen we changed onto the train for Kleine Scheidegg which takes about 45 minutes. From here you start to look across deep valleys bordered on both sides by sheer cliffs of rock – unlike anything I had seen before.
For the 30th November we were exceptionally lucky not to have been hit by a white-out snow storm as we were ascending to places which rely on snow for their main source of income for much of the year, and the snow as already one month late in arriving. It was eerie to look down at snowfields completely clear of snow save the small circles of ice surrounding snow cannons that tried unsuccessfully to create an artificial surface. Call it global warming or just a late season, but just for the purposes of photography, the clear weather was a blessing.
On our approach to Kleine Scheidegg we caught our first glimpse of our destination. It looked like a tiny dot at first which offers a perspective of the grandeur of the mountain range it's nested in. We were already now at 2061 metres above sea level. I was sure I had never been that high before, as this is even higher than Mount Snowdon and way higher than Ben Nevis, yet there we were on a railway station, preparing for a final leg to take us to over 3400 metres.
We transferred to the Jungfraubahn train for the final leg. As you might imagine, the ascent seemed pretty steep (25% in fact), so much so that seats are angled on the train to prevent rear-facing passengers from falling off. On the way up there were two stops, the first was on the north face of the Eiger where a window has been placed on the rock face to allow passengers to view the Eigerwand, the ski fields and the station now a long way below. This window has been used in numerous films and is also used as an access to rescue climbers who have run into problems. You have five minutes to take photographs here before moving west through the mountain towards the Jungfrau and the second window to view the "Eismeer" or "Sea of Ice which is a large glacier stretching out for miles in front of the Jungfrau.
On reaching the Jungfraujoch you immediately start feeling the effects of altitude. There is 25% less oxygen at this height than at sea level so everything must be done at a steady pace. Running up the stairs to get a favourable view in front of all the Chinese tourists is nonetheless definitely worth a try. Once outside you will also start to feel the cold. It was minus 5 Celsius while we were there, but tempered by the strong sunshine. Winds can reach 240km/hour up here which is literally strong enough to blow you off the mountain.
The views across the top of the Great Aletsch Glacier, (14 miles / 22 km long) is magnificent, as is the view of the Jungfrau and surrounding mountains. Looking back towards Lauterbrunnen made us realise how far we'd come.
The final ascent was to take the extra 100 metres or so by lift to the Sphinx observatory whose views are even more amazing. Sadly we only had time for two and half hours at the Jungfraujoch before having to start the journey back down to Kleine Scheidegg and then the other direction towards Grindelwald and then on to Luzern.
If you even find yourself within a day's travel of the Jungfrau, make the effort to take the Jungfraubahn train to the Jungfraujoch. It will be an experience to remember for the rest of your life.
How to get there…
We booked the train from London through to Interlaken with Rail Europe. Tickets can be booked online and delivered to your door by special delivery. Likewise the Swiss Travel System sell passes for all travel in Switzerland, but you must make a reservation for the Jungfrau train.

As mainland China beckons companies from around the world, gaining an in-depth knowledge of the country's unique business environment has become essential for business leaders. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) offers two programmes to equip leaders with inside knowledge: the master's of science in China business studies (MSc CBS), and the OneChina MBA.
Both programmes aim to shine a light on China's evolving business environment for companies that are eager to penetrate the market, but that need to learn about how to do business in the country.
The biggest challenge for business leaders working in China is to understand the policies and the political risks behind the country's policy making, which sets the scene for the business environment, says Dr Haitian Lu, programme director of the MSc in China business studies.
He says the desired learning outcomes for the MSc CBS are to teach participants to 'understand the changing business environment and the underlying driving force for such change; and to know how to respond to such [a] changing environment.'
The economics-based, multi- disciplinary programme aims to do this by focusing on all of the areas that impact business in China, using the latest scenarios from the country's business environment linked to relevant business theories. Students learn about current business practices and how to analyse the evolving government polices and regulations impacting commercial operations in the country.
As China's business environment evolves, the course content has evolved too, explains Lu. '[We] are revamping the programme, preparing for the launch of a mixed-mode programme starting from 2013 to 2014. In addition to the existing curriculum, we are also prepared to enrich the content by adding more China-related subjects that cater [to] students' needs, such as: cross-cultural management, essentials of Chinese culture, and contemporary issues in China business,' says Lu.
The programme includes a compulsory China study tour. 'In past years, our students have been taken to over 20 first- and second-tier cities in China,' Lu adds.
'The six-day study tour usually contains elements such as meeting local government officials, visiting representative enterprises and [talking] with entrepreneurs, guest speeches by local esteemed universities. Through the tour, students gain not only [the] latest business exposure, but also precious local connections in China,' Lu says.
The MSc CBS is aimed at those who have already gained some experience of international business, and who hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a business-related subject.
Students have an average of eight years' work experience, although new graduates may also be considered. Those with more experience may lean towards the OneChina MBA, which is designed for those with 13 or more years of experience, and who are ready to take on a general management role and move up the career ladder.
The programme's name is derived from its structure which allows students in Hong Kong, Xian and Shenzhen to study a subject in any of the locations and in a different language.
The course focuses on enhancing leadership skills, explains Howard Davies, professor and associate dean (programmes, teaching and learning), faculty of business at the PolyU.
'Our programme places a particular emphasis on leadership in the Asian context, which is where our faculty members have done a lot of top class scholarly work,' he says.
Teaching is led by a faculty with expertise in their subject areas. '[Our] first concern is that [teachers] have a deep and confident understanding of their subject area, so they can help students to make sense of their experience,' says Davies. 'This, in turn, means that teachers need to be engaged in research which is close to their teaching.'
The OneChina MBA was completely revised last year, resulting in an expanded number of subjects and credits, the addition of an individual investigative report and enhancement of the leadership development aspect of the programme.
'We are working with one of the world's top leadership consultancies to develop it,' says Davies. 'The PolyU MBA is a very demanding programme, but we are proud of the accomplishments of our students who are being equipped to prosper.'

More physicians today are turning to bloodless surgery, also referred to as blood conservation, because it is believed to be often healthier, safer and less costly for patients than standard surgical procedures.
When these concerns arise, some physicians pursue a bloodless surgical route, prescribing drugs that raise blood levels before an operation, using blood diversion techniques during procedures and employing other methods to conserve a patient's own blood.
Today, there are more than 100 hospitals in the United States with blood management programs. In 2002, that number was only 70.
A Need for Bloodless Surgery?As patient awareness about the risks of blood transfusions increase, so does the demand for bloodless surgery.
In fact, the statistics for blood transfusion can be alarming when it comes to health. Heart surgery patients are twice as likely to die during the first 30 days of hospitalization if they receive a blood transfusion for anemia, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Heart bypass patients who receive blood transfusions are also twice as likely to acquire an infection after their operation, according to a study in the journal BMC Medicine. Overall, the study found that 16% of patients who received a transfusion developed an infection after their operation, as compared to 7% of patients who did not have a blood transfusion acquired an infection. Additionally, the risk of contracting hepatitis B is about 1 in 205,000, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, and the risk for hepatitis C is 1 in 2 million. The Institute states that if a patient receives blood during a transfusion that contains hepatitis, he or she will most likely develop the virus.
One explanation as to why blood transfusions are linked to higher death rates is that the chemicals in donor blood suppress a patient's immune system, making it more difficult to fight off infections. Within hours of being collected, red blood cells stiffen up, making it harder for them to squeeze down narrow blood vessels and supply oxygen to the body's organs. In one study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, patients who received blood that was more than two weeks old were nearly 70% more likely to die within a year than patients who received freshly donated blood.
What Bloodless Surgery Advocates SayPhysicians who practice bloodless surgical techniques and facilities where bloodless surgery is offered report many advantages for patients, including:
- Safety. Since the blood being transfused belongs to the patient, the patient is not at risk of developing disease due to donor blood.
- Lower cost. Because patients tend to recover from bloodless surgery more quickly than a standard operation, patients spend less time in the hospital and are able to return to work quicker.
- Availability. Doctors and patients don't have to worry about whether the blood they need will be available on the day of surgery.
To prepare a candidate for surgery, the patient must follow medicinal and nutritional guidelines in order to increase his or her blood count before surgery. This is to prevent the risk of anemia following the operation.In spite of these advantages, some patients will not be able to avoid a transfusion. In cases of severe trauma or anemia, for instance, transfusions remain the appropriate course of action. There is also some controversy surrounding the transfusion "trigger," the point at which a patient must have a transfusion.
Physicians have traditionally called for a transfusion if the patient's hemoglobin level falls below 10 grams per deciliter and definitely if the level reaches 8 grams/dl. Some advocates, however, say it's safe to hold off on a transfusion in an otherwise healthy patient until his or her level falls much lower.
Guidelines for blood transfusions vary and are subject to interpretation, so many physicians rely on their own assessment as to when a transfusion must be performed. Many physicians are waiting for long-term data and clear guidelines about when to order a transfusion for a patient.
