Back in May I wrote about a new batch residency planned for this October and invited good people to apply to join the team.

Hepatitis B pediatric vaccine
Generic Name: hepatitis B pediatric vaccine (HEP a TYE tis B pee dee AT rik VAX een)
Brand Name: Engerix-B Pediatric, Recombivax HB Pediatric/Adolescent, Recombivax HB
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com on Jul 19, 2019 – Written by Cerner Multum
What is hepatitis B vaccine?
Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus. Hepatitis B causes inflammation of the liver, vomiting, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Hepatitis can lead to liver cancer, cirrhosis, or death.
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver that is spread through blood or bodily fluids, sexual contact or sharing IV drug needles with an infected person, or during childbirth when a baby is born to a mother who is infected.
The hepatitis B pediatric vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in children and teenagers.
This vaccine works by exposing your child to a small amount of the virus, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.
Vaccination with hepatitis B pediatric vaccine is recommended for all children beginning at birth, especially children and adolescents who are at risk of getting hepatitis B. Risk factors include: being born to a mother who is a hepatitis carrier; being on dialysis or receiving blood transfusions; living in an institute for the mentally handicapped; traveling to high-risk areas; living with a person who has chronic hepatitis B infection; and being of Native Alaskan, Indochinese, Haitian, or Pacific Island descent.
Like any vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.
Important Information
Hepatitis B pediatric vaccine should not be given to a child who is allergic to baker's yeast.
This vaccine will not protect against hepatitis B if your child is already infected with the virus, even if he or she does not yet show symptoms.
Before taking this medicine
Hepatitis B vaccine will not protect against infection with hepatitis A, C, and E, or other viruses that affect the liver. It may also not protect against hepatitis B if your child is already infected with the virus, even if he or she does not yet show symptoms.
Your child should not receive this vaccine if he or she ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any vaccine containing hepatitis B. Hepatitis B pediatric vaccine should not be given to a child who is allergic to baker's yeast.
If your child has any of these other conditions, this vaccine may need to be postponed or not given at all:
kidney disease (or if the child is on dialysis);
a bleeding or blood clotting disorder such as hemophilia or easy bruising;
an allergy to latex rubber; or
a neurologic disorder or disease affecting the brain (or if this was a reaction to a previous vaccine).
Your child can still receive a vaccine if he or she has a minor cold. In the case of a more severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until the child gets better before receiving this vaccine.
It is not known whether this vaccine will harm an unborn baby. Tell the doctor if your child is pregnant or becomes pregnant while receiving the series of hepatitis B vaccines.
It is not known whether hepatitis B vaccine passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell the doctor if your child is breast-feeding a baby.
How is this vaccine given?
The vaccine is injected into a muscle. Your child will receive this injection in a doctor's office or other clinic setting.
The hepatitis B pediatric vaccine is given in a series of shots beginning shortly after birth. The booster shots are sometimes given 1 month and 6 months after the first shot. If your child has a high risk of hepatitis B infection, he or she may be given a booster 2 months after the first shot and then 12 to 24 months later.
Your child's individual booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by your local health department.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Contact your doctor if you miss a booster dose or if you get behind schedule. The next dose should be given as soon as possible. There is no need to start over.
Be sure your child receives all recommended doses of this vaccine. Your child may not be fully protected if he or she does not receive the full series.
What happens if I overdose?
An overdose of this vaccine is unlikely to occur.
What should I avoid before or after receiving this vaccine?
Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
This vaccine side effects
Get emergency medical help if your child has signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Your child should not receive a booster vaccine if he or she had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects your child has after receiving this vaccine. When the child receives a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with hepatitis B is much more dangerous to your child's health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.
Call your doctor at once if your child has:
high fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
fussiness, irritability, crying for an hour or longer;
unusual muscle weakness;
changes in behavior; or
severe skin reaction--fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
Common side effects include:
diarrhea, loss of appetite;
feeling weak or tired;
mild fussiness or crying;
low fever; or
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report vaccine side effects to the US Department of Health and Human Services at 1-800-822-7967.

: : : All of a sudden, or All of the sudden?
: : : I get what it means but don't you think it sounds stupid if you really think about it? All of a sudden what? Obviously it means a sudden moment in time but there is no such thing as "a sudden"
: : : I just thought I would see what you guys have to think about this, thanks. ;)
: : "All of a sudden" sounds natural to me, but "All at once", which means the same thing, sounded awkward to me the first time I heard it. I'll have to vote Not Stupid on "All of a sudden"!
: "Sudden" was used as a noun in the 16th and 17th centuries, now marked obsolete in the Oxford English Dictionary. Definition: "A sudden need, danger, or the like; an emergency." Earliest quotation for this sense: "Howe redye they be in matters of dowbte, howe constant in the Sodeyne of dayngers" .
Is that a noun? It sounds like an adjective. ie. sudden danger (is describing the nature of the danger, which is sudden), even 'the sodeyne of dayngers', although I admit to treading on dangerous and unknown ground on this one, sounds like it's again describing the type of 'dayngers'. I don't know, I'm just asking. Still, I've never thought about it before, but 'sudden' is a damn good word isn't it??? It implies something far more abrupt than say immediate, or even urgent.

No joy from 2014 Dems on April jobs
Finally, the Democrats got a jobs report that beat the expectations. So why aren't they celebrating it more in their re-election campaigns?
Because they know it could also be a trap.
Story Continued Below
Sure, Friday's jobs report was pretty good — 288,000 jobs were created in April, when the expectation was 215,000. Until now, the recent jobs reports have been kind of "meh." So the latest one ought to be good news for the vulnerable Democrats who have been running in a lousy economic year.
( PHOTOS: 10 tough Senate races for Democrats)
Even now, though, it's still a tough economic year if you're a Democrat running for re-election. It is, after all, the sixth year of Barack Obama's presidency, and voters don't see a big turnaround no matter what the indicators say. And no matter how voters feel about other issues — especially Obamacare — polls show they still see the economy as the most important issue facing the country, as they do in most elections.
The public's mood is so sour that in a recent strategy memo, pollster Stan Greenberg warned Democratic candidates not to even say the word "recovery," because it strikes voters as out of touch and will make them tune out the rest of the economic message. And the last thing they want is for Republicans to pounce on them for celebrating too early.
"The reality is, most people still feel economic anxiety," said Democratic pollster John Anzalone. "That's just a reality, whether you're a Democratic candidate or a Republican candidate."
That's why, when the new jobs report came out Friday, vulnerable Democrats either stayed away from it or embraced it cautiously, with the only safe thing to say: Yes, it's good news, but there's a lot more work to be done. No champagne corks were heard popping.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire tweeted a link to a bipartisan energy efficiency bill she's pushing with Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio: "Good jobs #'s today but more work remains. Should focus on bipartisan efforts to grow economy like #energyefficiency."
That formula kept her close to the model President Barack Obama followed at his Friday press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "The grit and determination of the American people are moving us forward, but we have to keep a relentless focus on job creation and creating more opportunities for working families."
( Also on POLITICO: Jobs report beats expectations)
And other Senate Democrats in the most closely watched races, like Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Kay Hagan of North Carolina, avoided saying anything at all.
The reality, Democratic strategists say, is that even a good jobs report isn't a sure ticket to an easier re-election campaign — especially since there's no guarantee the trend will hold up beyond one report.
"Economists may be able to call this a real turning point in the economy, but I would not be holding my breath waiting for many Democrats to say so, especially those up for reelection," said Jim Manley, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "The growth may be solid, but I just don't think that many Americans are feeling better about the state of the economy yet, so I think members need to proceed carefully."
Most vulnerable Democrats have been taking pains to assure voters that they understand their economic struggles. That's how Mark Udall of Colorado tackled the sensitive issue in a recent campaign speech: "For far too many, times have been hard. Too many middle-class and working Colorado families are still struggling to get by, struggling to get ahead. There are certainly some signs of hope … But we can't let up." Campaign spokesman James Owens said Udall still stands by that quote.
But it gets even more complicated in states like North Carolina, where even Democrats have pointed out that the labor force is actually shrinking, according to Thomas Mills, a Democratic consultant who's based there.
That was also a theme of Republicans' responses to Friday's jobs report, as both House Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, pointed out the jobs report also showed more than 800,000 people had left the workforce.
"Hagan can certainly tout the jobs report as the country getting on the right track and debunking the job killing claims Republicans have made about Obamacare, but she should be cautious until we see if this is a trend," said Mills, who's not affiliated with the Hagan campaign. "We've seen good reports followed by bad ones for awhile now."

Obama outlines leaner military but gives few specifics
WASHINGTON — Even as the United States has withdrawn from Iraq, winds down its ground war in Afghanistan and prepares to make do with a leaner military budget, it faces an array of future threats and must still be prepared to fight several conflicts simultaneously, the Pentagon said Thursday in unveiling its latest defense strategy.
The eight-page document aims to address mounting calls for budget cuts and explain why the Pentagon needs to maintain most of the resources thrown its way over the last decade of war. It concludes that the military must be prepared to conduct one major conventional war and several smaller conflicts at the same time.
The department didn't say whom the military could be fighting but it pledged to create a smaller force. To underscore the shift from a decade spent waging two major ground wars, President Barack Obama made a rare appearance at the Pentagon to introduce the strategy, apparently seeking to put his stamp on the cutbacks as he launches his re-election bid.
"The tide of war is receding," Obama said. "As we look beyond the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and the end of long-term nation-building with large military footprints — we'll be able to ensure our security with smaller conventional ground forces."
The Obama administration has said it plans to cut $487 billion from the defense budget over the next decade, but the president, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other officials didn't offer details of where reductions would be made other than to say they'd shrink the size of ground forces. The details, they said, would be outlined during next month's budget session.
The implication of further cuts in the size of ground forces suggests that the department no longer plans to fight prolonged nation-building conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Rather, the department will invest in drones, unmanned aircraft, cybersecurity and creating a more agile force.
"We'll continue to get rid of outdated Cold War-era systems so that we can invest in the capabilities that we need for the future, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, countering weapons of mass destruction and the ability to operate in environments where adversaries try to deny us access," Obama said.
The United States would focus particularly on the Pacific and the Middle East, Panetta said. In Europe, he added, the U.S. strategy would "evolve."
"Confronting the threats of the 21st century demands greater flexibility to ... shift forces," Panetta said. "How we defeat the enemy may very well vary across conflicts."
However, experts noted that they'd heard many of these same arguments from former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld during the opening months of the George W. Bush administration in 2001. Then came the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"It is easy to emphasize Asia, technology and quality over quantity. In fact, this is what Secretary Rumsfeld did until 9/11 began to force an almost total reversal in every aspect of our strategy and plans less than a year after the Bush administration came to office," said Anthony Cordesman, a defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a nonpartisan research center.
That the Pentagon is discussing cutting Cold War programs suggested that the new budget also could delay the pace of building ballistic missile submarines, which are designed for conventional warfare, and production of the controversial F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The F-35, the most expensive weapons program in U.S. military history, has been riddled with flight and technical problems, raising questions about whether its cost is justified. But the program also has generated jobs in many states, earning it reliable backers in Congress.
The House Democratic Caucus chairman, Rep. John Larson of Connecticut, said Thursday that he was "especially heartened" to hear that the Pentagon wants the F-35 program to succeed.
"It is programs like that, with collaborative effort from all of the services and the best our industry can produce, that when combined with the great strength of our men and women in uniform will keep America strong for years to come," Larson said.
Critics noted that the department's vow to be prepared for any kind of conflict at any time would make it difficult to determine what to cut. Michele Flournoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy, said the department was taking risks by reducing the budget as much as it was, but she didn't specify what those risks were.
The $487 billion cut over the next decade amounts to roughly 8 percent of the projected budget when adjusted for inflation. But experts noted that the administration will be able to control the budget only for the next five years at most — if Obama wins re-election — and during that period, the budget will drop by only 5 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars over the previous five years.
Assessing spending after that point "is kind of guesswork," said Lawrence Korb, a defense expert at the left-leaning Center for American Progress.
Historically, the United States has cut more than 15 percent in defense spending during postwar periods, said Christopher Preble, the vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian research center.
The relatively limited cuts appeared to be an attempt by the Pentagon not to repeat the mistakes of the post-Vietnam War period, when many critics said that the United States hollowed out its force only to be ill-prepared for the conflicts of the past decade.
Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., the chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, said the strategy didn't spell out the risks of making such cuts.
"This laundry list of vague 'priorities' is not a strategy for superiority; it is instead a menu for mediocrity," Forbes said in a statement.
Even before the announcement, the Pentagon planned to cut the number of Marines by 20,000 by 2016 from the current figure of 202,100. The Army was expected to cut 27,000 from its force of 547,000 during the same period after years of expanding to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Answering those who worried about treatment for service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Panetta vowed that their "basic benefits" would be protected but he suggested that retirees and those who join the military from now on could see reductions.
Obama sought to balance national security and fiscal responsibility, calling the reductions significant but arguing the Pentagon would still maintain U.S. military superiority. He noted that the U.S. defense budget would continue to be larger than those of the next 10 countries combined.
"I think it's important for all Americans to remember, over the past 10 years, since 9/11, our defense budget grew at an extraordinary pace," the president said. "Over the next 10 years, the growth in the defense budget will slow, but the fact of the matter is this: It will still grow, because we have global responsibilities that demand our leadership."

Interviews & reviews:
Joséphine Michel is a French Photographer, who has recently collaborated with the Finnish electroacoustic composer Mika Vainio to produce the book and audio CD, Halfway to White.
As John Cage would have it, the spaces between the notes are equally as important as the notes themselves in creating the sonic texture of a piece of music. In Joséphine Michel's photographs many of the recognisable, or one might say figurative, details are virtually bleached out, remaining only as pallid traces and, as a result, many of the details that were formerly incidental or peripheral, take on a new, albeit abstract, significance. In these images, as newly empowered voids realign with the surrounding forms, reality becomes re-invented. The ephemeral has, in effect, been elevated, creating a new set of parameters for our visual perception of those scenes. Through the sampling, processing and filtering of everyday sounds Mika Vainio likewise offers us aural experiences that sit outside those soundscapes that are part of our everyday world. Together Michel and Vainio challenge our often-jaded perceptual habits and patterns, offering a whole new palette of experiences, both visual and aural.
Freelance art critic and curator Roy Exley interviewed Joséphine Michel about her recent work.
Here you can read the full interview with Joséphine Michel with The Photographers Gallery and also an essay in Photomonitor
Brainwashed (USA): writes:
For the inaugural release in their new Folio sub-imprint, Touch has paired Mika Vainio with photographer Joséphine Michel for a joint photography and music project heavily focused on the abstract nature sound and its impact on the other senses and mediums. With heavy use of white exposure on the photographs, and the heavily treated use of white noise on the CD, it culminates in a very strong synthesis of audio and visual.
Compared to his recent albums, Vainio's audio contributions to this project are more abstract and deconstructed than his busier, often rhythm tinged work. He utilizes expansive passages of silence (white space) amongst blasts of noise and strange frequencies that sound anything but identifiable. "Fade from Black," for example, features Mika melding the large passages of silence with heavy, almost imperceptibly low frequencies tones and glassy resonations.
At the conclusion of the album, "White Out," is less rooted in silence but features the same subwoofer destroying bass frequencies. A rising and falling electronic hum from what sounds like processed white noise stays consistent throughout the piece. Towards the end, bits of what sounds like actual melody appear and result in him creating the most traditionally musical sounding piece on the disc.
"Missing a Border" is a noisier excursion, with bits of what almost sounds like a conventional synthesizer heavily processed and demolished. Even though it is one of the more kinetic and noisier pieces, it still never becomes too overwhelming or aggressive, barring the overly shrill ultrasonic bits that sharply cut through. Bleak and moody are the best ways to describe "Notes On the Exposure," a slowly expanding piece of midrange digital noise that is less of a dominating sound.
It is on "Lines of a Curve" that the sound I most associate with Vainio's body of work. Sequences of pitch bent clicks and pops scatter about, resulting in the loosest semblance of rhythms. Much of the piece is made up of crackly textures, with buzzing noise and silence blended in, and oddly disorienting Doppler effect heavy passages of sound.
Michel's photography, sourced from a digital camcorder, may differ in its technological nature from Vainio's analog instruments, but the presentation complements it perfectly. Natural and man-made structures feature heavily in her work, as do candid photographs of people in industrial spaces. While critiquing photography is not at all my forte, her heavily white-drenched digital stills, with odd color artifacting, and often overlaid with found patterns and textures, look as Vainio's music sounds.
As the Touch label continues into its fourth decade of activity, Halfway to White is a contrast to its early days. While before the label would issue compilations on cassettes paired with small run magazines, now they are working in the media of high quality digital recordings and beautifully bound, art edition quality books. Vainio's and Michel's work compliment each other splendidly on here, and the result is a fully realized collaboration between two distinct and exceptional artists. [Creaig Dunton]
MCD (France):
Une nouvelle section pour le label Touch qui lance une série des livres (60 pages) couplé à des CDs (60 minutes) en édi- tion limitée. C'est donc la photographe Joséphine Michel qui inaugure la chose et "voit" ses prises de vues s'enrichir d'une dimension sonore assez ardue (tendance electronic-noise, expérimental et bruitiste) sous l'influence de Mika Vainio. [Laurent Diouf]
Source (Ireland):
In the first release of Touch's TOUCHFOLIO series of audiovisual publications, French photographer Joséphine Michel and Finnish electroacoustic composer Mika Vainio have collaborated to produce the book and audio Cd, Halfway to White. This work features a juxtaposition between Michel's digitally captured images and Vainio's digitally manipulated analogue recordings. Although Vainio is not working with specific location recordings, the images and sound are tied together through shared textures and moods, with the manipulated white noise and reverberant drones of Vainio's music marrying with the digital visual noise of Michel's images. Perhaps an apt way to describe the interrelationship between these two pieces is as negotiation. As Michel attests, Vainio's music inspired her photographs which led, as in a loop, to the creation of the music like an audiovisual oroborus giving itself meaning and wholeness; the mouth devouring the tail in a circulatory process as the sound and image assimilate. [Aimee Mollaghan]
Neural (Italy):
The inception of a new series ("Folio��?) of hardcover books is a significant step for Touch, one of the most important "multi/media��? UK music labels, with its more than thirty years of history. This first volume is a combined effort by an exceptional couple: photographer Joséphine Michel and celebrated sound artist Mika Vainio (co-founder of the historical Pansonic duo). The collaboration between the two started before this specific work, but here it accomplishes a considerable success and an advanced symbiosis. Michel explores her notion of "sonic photography,��? which consists of adjusting the (digital) exposure at the moment of shooting, according to the resonance of the noise-fields in that particular place. The resulting overexposed photographs reveal an interesting form of sound visualisation. An overview returns a kind of "visual effect,��? but the minimal time spent exploring them in detail gives the feeling of a parallel visual experience. Michel defines the effect of Vainio's music as a "vibratory static.��? His analogue sources create fictional natural sounds, and in compositions he uses blasts as well as silence as a sonic "white space,��? reflecting the visual elements in the overexposed photographs. The unusual synaesthesia which can follow is sensorially ambiguous and considerably disruptive. Designed by Jon Wozencroft, this audio-visual effort in book + CD form is accomplished in the Touch tradition, embedding an innovative relationship with media in classic and recognisable forms.

Neil Lennon has revealed encouragement at his Scottish Football Association meeting
Celtic boss Neil Lennon has revealed he was encouraged by Monday's meeting with the Scottish Football Association.
Last Updated: 11/12/12 5:52pm
A delegation of Scottish Premier League managers, including Steve Lomas, Kenny Shiels and Jim Jefferies, met with Lunny at Hampden following a recent plea by Lennon for better communication between bosses, referees and the SFA and clearer guidelines on acceptable behaviour.
Lennon has not been in trouble this season but fellow Irishmen Lomas and Shiels have found themselves in hot water recently.
St Johnstone manager Lomas, currently subject of an eight-match touchline ban, faces further sanctions after being called before an SFA disciplinary hearing later this month for kicking a water bottle during his team's 1-0 defeat against Hibernian on 28 November.
Kilmarnock manager Shiels has been served with two separate notices of complaint from the Scottish FA.
The Rugby Park boss has to explain critical remarks made about referee Euan Norris after his side's defeat to Inverness on 3 November, and he faces further scrutiny after protesting against the red card shown to his captain Manuel Pascali during a home defeat to St Johnstone last month.
Lunny will meet with all the SPL bosses in the new year but Lennon believes progress has already been made in a bid to eradicate some of the tension between managers and the authorities.
"It was very productive," he said, ahead of Wednesday night's William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round replay against Arbroath at Gayfield Park.
"It wasn't a question of any heated arguments, it was just points being put across from both sides and John Fleming (SFA's head of referee development) came in for the last hour or so.
"Alex Smith, head of the managers' association, was there and we are hoping to draw up a few proposals to take to Vincent and see where that takes us.
"One rule was brought up, (what can be said in post-match press conferences) we feel that there is a vague sort of grey areas in the rules and sanctions on managers as well.
"I don't want to go into in-depth because there was a lot of things said that will remain private but it was very productive."
Top Scottish referee Craig Thomson believes there remains a healthy respect between officials and managers, but admits he would like to turn the tables on critical bosses and see them taking over the whistle.
Category One referee Thomson, along with Bobby Madden, was at Hampden on Tuesday to undertake their FIFA referee medicals at the Sports Medicine Centre and afterwards he spoke, with a degree of humour, about his idea which he believes would help mutual understanding.
"I would love managers and coaches to referee a match, just to see what it is like," Thomson told Press Association Sport.
"Yes, they do it at training but maybe just to referee a match to see how difficult some of the decisions are and I would love to go and watch them.
"And maybe for us to go more into their training grounds, even to help referee training games as well, that is an opportunity to build up relationships.
"The more and more contact with each other, outwith the matches, I think is a benefit.
"I would like to think we have a good relationship with the managers, we get a lot of respect from them which is what we are really looking for.
"They are not going to agree with every decision and it would be foolhardy to think that would be the case.
"But I will always say to the coaches that my door is always open.
"We all know how emotional the game is and so after the 15-minute window we are happy to speak to any coaches that come to the door."

Conan O'Brien was hit on the head during the taping of his NBC show Friday evening, prompting the network to air a rerun of the show rather than the episode that was planned to air that night.
O'Brien was hit in the head during a stunt while taping the show, a rep from NBC told TMZ Friday.
"Tonight, NBC will broadcast a repeat of 'The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.' Conan hit his head doing a stunt and and the show was not finished," the rep said.
O'Brien also issued a statement through NBC saying that he was taking the incident lightly.
"Last thing I remember was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln, and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies in juice," O'Brien's statement read.
O'Brien was examined Friday at a hospital. NBC declined to comment on his condition.

About Ian Tyson
Half of the early-'60s folk group Ian & Sylvia, Ian Tyson retreated from performing and recording after the duo disbanded in the mid-'70s to become a rancher in the foothills of southern Alberta, Canada. He quietly returned to music-making in the 1980s, releasing a series of albums that focused on detailed songs about the concerns of the working cowboy. Tyson was born in Victoria, British Columbia. As a child he was involved in rodeo, not music -- he didn't learn to play the guitar until he was recovering from rodeo-related injuries. In the late '50s, he began performing as a folksinger. In 1961, he met singer/songwriter Sylvia Fricker and the two musicians began performing together; they also married three years later. Ian & Sylvia and their band, Great Speckled Bird, became popular on the folk scene and released their self-titled debut album in 1962. In 1963, they released Four Strong Winds; the title track, written by Tyson, became a folk standard. Ian & Sylvia successfully recorded together through the mid-'70s. The duo also began hosting a television show, Nashville North, which became The Ian Tyson Show when the couple split up in the middle of the decade.
After Ian & Sylvia's breakup, Tyson recorded Ol' Eon. He temporarily retired from recording in 1979 to work his ranch, but returned with Old Corrals and Sagebrush in 1983. In 1984, he toured with Ricky Skaggs and also released an eponymous album. Tyson released a third album, Cowboyography, two years later, and in 1991 he released another popular Canadian album, And Stood There Amazed, which contained the hits "Springtime in Alberta" and "Black Nights." Subsequent releases include 1994's Eighteen Inches of Rain, 1996's All the Good 'Uns, and 1999's Lost Herd. Tyson released Live at Longview in 2002, followed by Songs from the Gravel Road in 2005. Straining to sing over an excessively loud and bass-heavy soundboard mix at an Ontario country music festival in 2006 and exposure to a virus in 2007 resulted in irreversible scarring to Tyson's vocal cords, giving his performing voice a self-described gravelly quality and similarity to Mark Knopfler's, as fully displayed on Tyson's From Yellowhead to Yellowstone and Other Love Stories album, released by Stony Plain in 2008. ~ Sandra Brennan & Michael McCall

Our Tagline: "Wrap yourself in Enlightenment"
The genesis for Rudraksha Jewelry Company happened as a result of extensive world travels in the most remote villages, mountains and locations in Thailand, Burma, India, Bali - discoveries of handcrafted stones with healing properties, medals and later jewelry creations make Rudraksha jewelry truly special.
The word "Rudraksha" comes from Hindu mythology that tells a story of Lord Shiva, who seeing so much pain and suffering in the world, closed his eyes to meditate for several years. When he finally opened them, he still saw sadness. He then cried hot tears, which fell on the Earth and produced Rudraksha trees. These trees are grown only in Indonesia, Nepal and India. Hindus and Buddhists believe that wearing Rudraksha seeds brings inner peace and enlightenment. Rudraksha malas (rosaries) can be worn around the neck, on the wrist or carried in your pocket.

138 grams of marijuana seized
Two men who may have been smoking marijuana in a parked car Monday face drug charges after a narcotics complaint.
�(The officers) did say when they opened the door a cloud of smoke came out,� said Woody Spencer, spokesman for the Kinston Department of Public Safety.
Two officers reported to the 100 block of West Capitola Avenue around 6:38 p.m., finding three men in a car facing the wrong direction.
�(The suspects) exited the vehicle,� Spencer said. �The officer checked the vehicle and found a container � containing small baggies that came out to about 3 grams of marijuana. And a further search revealed a book bag that contained marijuana pipes and glass jars, digital scales, assorted plastic sandwich bags and about 135 grams of marijuana.�
Brandon Allen Hill, 22, was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana with intent to sell and deliver and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Lewis Adam White Jr., 20, received a citation for possession of marijuana.
The third man wasn�t charged.
Police seized the marijuana, a marijuana pipe, three glass jars valued at $20, a brown book bag valued at $20, digital scales valued at $40 and $5 worth of sandwich bags.
Hill was placed into the Lenoir County Detention Center under a $2,500 bond. He�s scheduled to be in Lenoir County District Court on Jan. 6 on the charges listed and an earlier misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge.

Out Back: Roman Vinson presents steaming waffles covered in fruit, with a cup of vegan chili as a side. photo by Bill Rhodes
Hank's BBQ is truly a hideaway. The new West Asheville eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at 373 Haywood Road, behind BattleCat Coffe Bar in the former Asheville FM studios.
Owner Roman Vinson doesn't think the low-visibility location will keep diners away for long. "I think this will be different enough that people will come," he says. Vinson describes his signature barbecue as Texas-style: "No vinegar sauce here."
A recent transplant from Austin, Vinson grew up smoking meat with his dad and has been doing it full time for the last eight years.
Breakfast features bagel and panini sandwiches, waffles, granola and oatmeal. Lunch includes sandwiches on French bâtard and vegan chili with a kick (Texas-style, remember?). Dinner is a smoked affair, with pork and chicken coming out of the heat and onto the plate.
Vinson also offers a unique culinary service: "If someone has some meat they want smoked, a turkey for Thanksgiving, ham, venison, whatever – bring it on over, we will make a deal," Vinson says.
Why is the longhorn-state-style restaurant called Hank's and not Roman's? Hank is Roman's son.
Breakfast and lunch are served from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., daily. Dinner starts at 5 p.m., Thursday-Sunday. Call 713-3885 for takeout. 373 Haywood Road, behind BattleCat Coffee. — by Bill Rhodes

Host: Christopher Rose, Outreach Director, Center for Middle Eastern Studies
Guest: Barbara Petzen, Director, Middle East Connections
The Ottoman Empire has long captured the public imagination in a way that few other royal houses and empires have managed to do. From the days when its armies threatened the gates of Vienna, its long-rumored decline as the "sick man of Europe," and the Taksim demonstrations of 2013 when Turkish Prime Minsiter Erdo?an was accused of "neo-Ottomanism," the legacy that the Empire left is long and vast. But who were the Ottomans? Why were they so successful? And why have they lasted so long in the public's imagination?
In the first of a two part series, guest Barbara Petzen helps to shed some light on the origins and rise of the empire that rivaled Europe for centuries. Turkish in origin, the Ottoman state at its best reveled in its diversity and played up the strengths of its multi-confessional multi-ethnic population.

Alien: Isolation Trailer Scares Us Like It's 1979
SEGA and The Creative Assembly have released a trailer for the newly announced Alien: Isolation-- and it's about as intense as the first time you watched the original Alien film. Fitting, since the new game looks to capture that very same essence.
As explained earlier, Alien: Isolation is a true survival, as you play as Amanda Ripley, daughter of film protagonist Ellen Ripley, on a mission to discover the mysterious disappearance of her mother. There's just one problem: a single Xeno that wants to eat your face.
As you'll see in the trailer Alien: Isolation features many of the same tactics and elements seen in the film -- eery sounds, flickering lights, and a creepy alien lurking in the shadows. Alien: Isolationis in development for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Not to be outdone by Wert and his cushy deal with CNBC producers, tomorrow night at 7pm on G4, Davey G. will supposedly make his first nationwide television appearance since, well, ever. He was on local TV as a Cub Scout in Sacramento, but this, well...this is his big break in the City of Angels. The show is Filter, hosted by Howard Stern's best girlie, Beth Ostrosky. When asked about the appearance, all DGJ had to say is, "They wouldn't let me wear my H sker D t-shirt, but apparently, a Rocket From the Crypt shirt was just fine. Oh, and green screens are weird and disorienting." He'll allegedly be commenting on engaging in acts of fleshy union in motor vehicles, something he actually knows a smidgeon about, having been busted by both friends, Romans and the po-po on more occasions than he'd care to admit. (Okay, we were lying about the Romans.)

Breakthrough Series ends with game at Minute Maid
HOUSTON -- On the final day of this year's Breakthrough Series, a few dreams came true.
The participants played a 10-inning game at Minute Maid Park, home of the Astros. For the five dozen teenage prospects who have worked out for scouts and received instruction from former pro players this week, stepping on to a Major League diamond was the highlight of their baseball careers thus far.
HOUSTON -- On the final day of this year's Breakthrough Series, a few dreams came true.
The participants played a 10-inning game at Minute Maid Park, home of the Astros. For the five dozen teenage prospects who have worked out for scouts and received instruction from former pro players this week, stepping on to a Major League diamond was the highlight of their baseball careers thus far.
"It's an honor, just to be in this atmosphere with these types of players," said Stars catcher Jerry Murillo. "Playing here at Minute Maid just made us all feel like big leaguers for a day."
This is the Series' sixth year as part of a combined effort by Major League Baseball and USA Baseball to spotlight and bolster the involvement of urban youth in the sport.
After playing a pair of intrasquad games at the Urban Youth Academy on Wednesday, the 60 players were divvied up into two teams, the Stars and Stripes, with the Stripes prevailing, 12-6. The game will be televised on MLB Network this Saturday at 11 a.m. ET.
The star of the contest was Sanger, Calif., pitcher Luis Ortiz, who started for the Stripes and pitched two no-hit innings, striking out four in the process.
According to Ortiz, who is considered to have Top-10 round potential in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, it was his circle changeup -- a rare pitch to see in a high-schooler's repertoire -- that impressed the most.
"I hardly ever throw it, and never in games really," said Ortiz, who's committed to Fresno State. "Every showcase I go to, I try to show them all my pitches."
Stars lefty starter and Atlanta product Cordarius Dorsey basically matched him, tossing two innings of one-hit, no-run ball.
Following three frames of lockdown pitching, the Stars got to Stripes reliever Dazon Cole for two runs in the fourth. Touted California outfielder Denz'l Chapman led off the frame with a walk and moved to second on an error. He swiped third on a double steal and then scored on a wild pitch.
Murillo, a local product, walked on the wild pitch, and his pinch-runner, James Davidson, eventually scored on Dalton Blumenfield's fielder's-choice groundout.
But the Stars really pulled away in the sixth, using a trio of Stripes errors to plate seven runs and grab a 10-0 advantage that the Stripes' late comeback couldn't match.
Overall, the teams combined for 10 errors and a slew of other passed balls or wild pitches, as the youngsters' bats seemed more developed than their glovework.
Even with a few sloppy innings, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow was impressed by the play he saw on what is normally his team's home turf.
"There's some talented young men out there, for sure," Luhnow said. "We watch Major League baseball here every night, and you can dream on a lot of them out there. You can see them playing there some day. The speed and athleticism immediately caught my eye. There were parts that could have passed for the pro game."
Stripes infielder Harrison McElroy showed some of that athleticism Luhnow referenced when he made a running catch in foul territory, flipping over the railing -- a la Derek Jeter's famous catch against the Red Sox in 2004.
In addition to Chapman, Murillo and Ortiz, touted prospects like Joshua Morgan, Tyree Davis, Luis Alvarado and Roberto Gonzalez were also on display during the Breakthrough Series' inaugural year in Houston.
With only five local players, a midday start time and no surefire top Draft picks for 2014 in uniform, the crowd at Minute Maid for the event was sparse, consisting mostly of family and a few dozen scouts.
But Major League Baseball manager of baseball development Ben Baroody said his boss, MLB vice president, baseball development Frank Robinson, hopes to grow the showcase game into a major event for scouts and fans interested in baseball's next crop of stars.
Thursday's game came on the heels of three days of baseball preparation focused not just on the playing field.
During the week, umpires, NCAA compliance officials and scouts all made presentations to players, presenting and preparing the teenagers for futures via baseball, not just through being drafted out of high school.
"As high-level high school athletes that are getting attention from scouts and recruiters, you're looking to be drafted," Baroody said. "And that's what we ideally want.
"But we're also thinking about how we can prepare them for the future. What's the recruiting process like? What are the different options offered to them? What's a national letter of intent? Do you want to have a life in baseball? That's what we tried to offer the players this week."

North Carolina nuclear plant shut down after crack discovered
RALEIGH, N.C. – A nuclear plant near North Carolina's capital city was shut down after operators reviewing ultrasonic tests from last year found the results showed tiny marks of corrosion and cracking that need repair, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.
Operators at the Shearon Harris plant on Wednesday found a quarter-inch flaw in the covering of the reactor vessel, which contains superheated steam produced by the nuclear reaction's energy.
The crack did not penetrate the vessel head and there is no evidence of radiation leakage, an NRC incident report said. The discovery did not affect the health and safety of employees or the public at the New Hill plant, federal regulators said.
NRC inspectors will want to ask plant owner Duke Energy Corp. — which acquired the 26-year-old plant through its buyout last year of Progress Energy — why the testing performed during a spring refueling outage last year didn't find the problem, agency spokesman Roger Hannah said Thursday.
"I think that's a question, from our perspective, that we'd like to have answered," Hannah said. "We'll follow up on that to see if it was something that should have been seen."
Spokesmen for Charlotte-based Duke Energy said it would evaluate why the problem was missed last year. Data from last year's test were being reviewed ahead of an upcoming planned refueling outage.
"During refueling outages, we collect and analyze a lot of plant data," spokeswoman Rita Sipe said in an email. "The reactor is shut down and our repair plans are in progress."
She said Duke has reserves that can meet customers' needs during the shutdown.
The company expects to have the unit back online within a matter of weeks, Duke Energy said Thursday in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The "minor repairs in a nozzle that penetrates the top of the reactor vessel" has been performed successfully at other nuclear reactors around the world, the company said.
The reactor vessel head is commonly checked because the metal is "subject to very high pressure and very high temperatures over a long period of time," Hannah said.
The shutdown comes days before the Harris plant's annual assessment meeting, at which NRC staffers discuss plant operations with the public. The meeting is Monday in nearby Holly Springs.
Progress Energy was cited last year for two safety violations considered to be of low to moderate significance, which Hannah said have since been corrected. Regulators found problems with ventilation systems that would be needed if there were a nuclear emergency.
Since the two North Carolina utilities merged to make Duke Energy the country's largest electric company, the Charlotte-based company has cut back on plans for Progress Energy nuclear plants.
Duke said earlier this month that it will not build two new reactors at Shearon Harris, reversing plans put in place by Progress Energy executives.
In February, Duke Energy said it will permanently close the Crystal River nuclear plant in Florida after botched repairs while it was operated by Progress Energy Florida. Estimates for repairing the nuclear plant shut down since 2009 were between $1.3 billion and $3.4 billion.
Duke Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Rogers told North Carolina regulators last year that former Progress Energy CEO Bill Johnson was dumped within hours of becoming CEO of the merged company in part because of dissatisfaction over his handling of Crystal River's problems. Johnson is now CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Geithner lands book deal
NEW YORK Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has a book deal.
Geithner has an agreement with Crown Publishers, an imprint of Random House (). Crown announced Thursday that Geithner's book, currently untitled, is scheduled for 2014 and will provide a "behind-the-scenes" account of the financial crisis.}
Few Treasury secretaries received as much attention as Geithner, who has been praised for helping prevent a second Great Depression, but criticized for being too friendly to banks and other financial institutions. He will draw upon his experience at the Treasury during the first term of the Obama administration and his previous job as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he served from 2003-2009.
According to Crown, Geithner will write about his work with President Obama, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and other top officials.
"Secretary Geithner will chronicle how decisions were made during the most harrowing moments of the crisis, when policy makers faced a fog of uncertainty, risked catastrophic outcomes, and had no institutional memory or recent precedent to guide them," Crown's statement reads.
- Federal Reserve missed the housing bust
- Obama picks chief of staff Lew to head Treasury
- Geithner: U.S. could hit debt limit earlier than expected
"Secretary Geithner will aim to answer the most important - and to many the most troubling - questions about the choices he and his colleagues made, the strategies they adopted, and the economic aftermath. By describing what went right, what went wrong and the lessons learned along the way, Secretary Geithner intends to provide a `play book' that future policy makers can draw on and that the public can use to understand how and why governments act in crisis."
Geithner, 51, stepped down in January as Treasury secretary and was succeeded by Jack Lew.
Financial terms for Geithner's book were not disclosed. Geithner was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who has negotiated deals for Obama, former President Clinton and Geithner's predecessor at the Treasury, Henry Paulson. Obama's best-selling "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope" also were published by Crown.

So, Phi Brain. A show that baffled me for the past year more than any other series, and it did so in many ways. It was the source of many frustrations, but also many surprises. When the first season started it seemed like just an ordinary shounen series with very good characters. Then a second season got announced and things started. The thing is that the first season was very conclusive and didn't really leave many plot threats behind. On top of that, it was all about Kaito and his history, and it really had this storyline that used its main cast at its best. So how on earth were they going to top that?
Well indeed, the second season didn't turn out to be as good as the first, but it did so for complete different reasons than what I imagined. The creators actually came up with a new set of very good villains here. The charm of the first season, it surprisingly good characterization: it stayed here. There was cheese, Oh GOD, there was cheese, but it used this cheese really well to create memorable villains and actually ended up very heart-warming with a very good chemistry between all of the different members of the cast. The themes were great and it ended with a satisfying climax that really exceeded my expectations. So what went wrong?
Well, the balance is all over the place. The thing is that the stories of the first and second season are about equal in size, but the way in which they spend their time is very different. The first season had random stories: a first half of completely unrelated stories to flesh out the cast. In the second season however, every episode is important to the plot in a direct way. The problem however is that this show doesn't have the material to fill 25 episodes. The result? Well, four episodes of solving the exact same puzzle over and over again. In a series that prides itself with its creative puzzles, that indeed is as fun as it sounds.
On top of that, the way in which this series manages its cast in this season is really bizarre and questionable. It all works out in the end, but oh boy, it has a lot of hurdles. Most importantly, the central focus of the plot is brainwashing. The entire cast of villains is brainwashed into acting weird and illogical. You do not want to know how long it takes for this to get properly fleshed out and some actual depth, because this series has spent nearly its entire airtime to get to that point. At the start the characters come off as shallow stupid and illogical bastards.
And then there is the great cast of characters of the first season, who honestly have trouble figuring out what to do in the sequel here. In one way it's good, because the characters who did not have a focus in the first season can now really shine here (with the best example being Ana Gram), but it also is a bit of a shame to see once strong characters wander around slightly aimlessly and looking for things to do. Gammon especially suffered here, but also Nonoha is pretty bad. She keeps wanting to do something, and yet the creators hardly ever let her, despite hinting at how she still is important. Only near the end does that start to matter, and in the meantime she is just there for the token female to cook dinner.
Beyond that, the usual issues with Phi Brain still stand: when you think about it, it just makes no bloody sense. Especially the way in which this series seems to think that you can hack anything and do some mumbo jumbo in order to gather data are really bad if you start thinking about it even once. This show just has a story to tell and doesn't care how illogical it gets, and yet it does this better than the likes of Horizon, because the story it does end up telling becomes pretty damn good when it wants to and is actually focused. I mean you can say a lot about Phi Brain, but it has a damn good cast of characters.
|7/10 – You call that balance?! Riddled with issues, way too long (we're at 50 episodes now and a third season has been announced!), yet surprisingly focused and well built up.
|8.5/10 – The saving grace for this series. Very good and heart-warming all around. A bit too heavy on the cheese though.
|8/10 – Definitely not Sunrise's dream team here, though it has its moments at the beginning and end where it looks really pretty.
|8.5/10 – I have to give points for this series: it took a setting that seemed impossible to make believable: people fight using puzzles and brainwash each other in order to evolve human kind. And it pulled it off. Sure it took a lot of trouble, but it did.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Phil Mickelson completed a wire-to-wire victory in the Phoenix Open, missing another chance to make history in a dominating week at TPC Scottsdale.
Mickelson shot a 4-under 67 on Sunday to finish at 28-under 256, two strokes off the PGA Tour record set by Tommy Armour III in the 2003 Texas Open, and tie the tournament mark set by Mark Calcavecchia in 2001.
Mickelson missed a chance for a 59 in the first round when his 25-foot putt on the final hole caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees and stayed out. He settled for a 60 and followed with rounds of 65 and 64 to take a six-stroke lead into the final round.
Brandt Snedeker finished second, four strokes back after a 65.

For the first time in many moons Eli Manning is learning a foreign offense.
When Kevin Gilbride retired after 10 seasons with the New York Giants -- seven spent as the offensive coordinator -- the New York Giants imported Ben McAdoo. The new play-caller brought more uptempo, West Coast principles to Big Blue, so Manning has had to spend his offseason doing homework.
In a sit-down with NFL Media's Kimberly Jones, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said the renewed studying would be a boon for the veteran quarterback. The coach told Jones there is no doubt the new offense will get Manning back to playing at a championship level.
"There's no question in my mind about that," Coughlin said. "As a matter of fact, this studying part, it's a good thing. It is a good thing. And that's really what I wanted to go ahead and put in place, where the wheels for the veteran players, the wheels were really turning and so that was part of the objective."
Coming off a horrific season in 2013, Coughlin believes the refreshed offense will reboot all the Giants' offensive players who became stagnant in the old system.
"I think that process of having to really grind to go back to where you're learning something very, very fundamental and you can't assume a thing, even though there's vastness involved obviously it's not simple," Coughlin said. "...If Eli's grinding and studying and as smart as he is, you know those other guys have got to apply themselves as well. And since they're all in this same boat, the new, the old, whatever, I like it. I think it's a good thing."
Manning, 33, is entering his 11th season and coming off ankle surgery, but Coughlin pointed to the quarterback's iron man streak as a reason for optimism in 2014.
Coughlin and the Giants hope that Manning sticking his nose in a new playbook will not only bring a new style but also breathe fresh life into the signal-caller.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys make the case that multiple teams have closed the gap on the Seahawks and 49ers in the NFC.
