Risk Management: Informed Consent- What's New?
CPD: 0:24 (closed) Self assess
Feedback: 0 comments, 0 ratings
Abstract: Informed consent has long been tried in the English courts using the Bolam test. This primarily tested the degree of professional negligence against the collective opinions of medical professionals. This principle is now considered outdated and the test of materiality now gives the individual patient shared decision-making during the consent process. Obtaining valid consent that will stand in a court of law and hold strong now involves a little more thought and time from the prudent dentist.
Clinical relevance: Obtaining valid consent is an extremely important risk minimizing application of time for a skilled health care professional (HCP). If undertaken skilfully it can lead to improved patient satisfaction, minimize patient complaints and ultimately lessen the risk of practising HCPs having a negligence case brought against them.
Author notes: Claire Louise Bayliss, PgDip ClinPharm, MPharm, BDS Year 5 Student, King's College London, Guy's Hospital, London, UK (email@example.com).
Objective: To understand how informed consent, in the past and currently, is tried under professional ethics and in a civil court of law.

Here goes a million dollar question…
Where was FIFA world cup 2010 played?
If you still hang on with the obvious answer -South Africa , I beg to disagree. Going beyond the obvious, weighing the space and time allotted by media, it's Germany all the way. The art and beauty of playing football, the systematic and critical analysis of experts, the shrewd tactics and techniques of coaches, the hard work and determination of players, cheers of the vuvuzelas were mercilessly pushed to the backseat. Reason: An irrational animal's search for food ending up in picking the world cup winner. It was sheer chance and only chance that made Paul-the octopus to make the right choice. As lady luck started smiling on Paul, shifted its base from South Africa to the Aquarium at Oberhausen in Germany. Thanks to the extensive media coverage, Paul has become the talk of the town. I would say, "We were all 'Pauled' by the media especially the western media." Does this mean that the concept of rational west and superstitious east is going topsy-turvy?
With the oracle Paul crowned to glory with its 8 for 8, after the world cup show down, all eyes were on the octopus with impatient, 'Whazz up next' worries. Even though the octopus is irrational, the owners rightly pitched in with their grey matter by declaring that Paul won't make any more predictions and will get back to its former job of making children laugh. It's the Right choice baby!!…it won't be heads all the time when u toss a coin!!! It's Paul who is now laughing at us – for the media attention it got, for the millions who googled his name, for the studies done by scholars, for placing luck before talent and hard work. Above all Paul ridicules man's craving to go behind irrational predictions powered by sheer chance/luck that has no base. The whole world was fooled and laughed at by an octopus after it's retirement announcement. In a way we were all 'PAULED'!!! Whenever media, advertisement, astrology or career choice entices our senses and evokes our emotion eclipsing our reason and search for facts- beware- we are being 'Pauled.'
'Pauled' by Advertisements
Zillions of articles, expert advices, first hand experiences would have come our way pleading us: "Don't believe in advertisements." But we still continue to be 'Pauled.' Endorsed by super stars, power packed with catchy videos and classy punch lines, advertisements let our emotions take charge turning its back on the real facts. Each time you hear the tag lines – Nike , "Write your Future," Walmart- "Save money. Live better," Coke- "Life ho to aisi"-(life as it should be)- we are hauntingly 'Pauled' by these advertisements such that we dare not to touch a brand sans advertisement. Just as one advertisement loses its sheen, the next more powerful one arrives and we continue to be 'Pauled.' The octopus Paul retired, but advertisements seldom retire, they will continue to make us 'Pauled' veiling our grey matter. It's time people give an voluntary retirement to advertisements so that we won't be 'Pauled' again.
'Pauled' by Astrology
With Paul the psychic octopus hogging the limelight, the animal oracles are out in the middle making predictions –Mani, the parrrot, Pygmy, the hippopotamus, Leon, the porcupine..to name a few.
Along with this Numerology, Astrology, Tarot reading and innumerable techniques both on television and web are making humans 'Pauled' on a regular basis. Can any person in the world predict the outcome or future with cent percent accuracy? The answer will be a big no. It's high time we break free all these future knowing stuff by which we are 'Pauled.' Let the reason and faith in God take the driver's seat.
'Pauled' by Career Choice
When the department of Philosophy at Oxford, Harvard and other acclaimed universities of the west are thriving, it cuts a sorry figure in the Indian universities. Recently the Bangalore University shut down its philosophy department for want of students. Why didn't the children turn up? It's damn clear that the parents and students are all 'Pauled' by media and tradition creating a narrow state of mind. Mr. Jacob Varghese is an International and national award winning director, who directed the recent Kannada hit – Prithvi. During a public meeting, he shared his reaction of his mom when he showed the prestigious national award. His mom told, " Iam happy, this will help you to get a good job!!!" A perfect example of how creativity and talents are pushed backwards resulting in a void of artists, actors, singers, folk artists and all the so- called non job oriented courses like philosophy. Thomas L. Friedman wrote, "Today, just about everything is becoming a commodity, except imagination, except the ability to spark new ideas." As super power status knocks at India's door, it's high time to think that there is life beyond tech geeks and give it's due for arts, creativity and talents. Let's not get 'Pauled' again with regard to career choices – Be bold to choose, be brave and work hard to win; blaze your own trail.
Be Bold, Don't get 'Pauled'
It's shame for the humanity to be 'Pauled' by media, astrology, advertisement and career choice. Time is up for reality check. Don't let our talents, imagination, creativity, faith and hard work get 'Pauled' by irrational choices. Rely on your grey matter, believe in God and please let Paul the octopus play and make children smile, it's meant for that.

Promoting Cromarty
Yesterday morning a group interested in promoting Cromarty businesses and tourist attractions went on a walking tour through the town from the Royal Hotel to the Old Brewery. Learning about each other's facilities and services can bring multiple benefits both in tourist £s and satisfaction from visitors to the town.
In the next few months a two-fold approach is planned: to create a short, 'quirky' YouTube video to encourage holiday-makers and day-trippers to come to Cromarty and to update a leaflet of businesses and attractions for people once they arrive.
Also on the agenda is a search for a catchy strapline. Some suggestions so far: Visit Cromarty, Discover Cromarty, Sea Cromarty. Any ideas?

Pagenaud Breaks '17 Pole Drought In Toronto
Simon Pagenaud won his first IndyCar Series pole of the season Saturday when he laid down the fastest lap for the Honda Indy Toronto race in Canada.
The Team Penske driver will lead the 21-car field to the green flag in Sunday's 85-lap race on the 11-turn, 1.786-mile temporary street circuit.
In the Firestone Fast Six – the third and final round of the knockout qualifying format employed on road and street courses – Pagenaud recorded a lap of 58.9124 seconds (109.138 mph) to earn the 10th pole of his eight-year Indy car career.
The lap was more than eight-tenths of a second quicker than the previous record (59.7747 seconds) set last year by Will Power.
"It's been a great weekend so far," said Pagenaud, who earned Team Penske's eighth pole this season and its 253rd in Indy car history. "The car is really, really nice to drive. The most satisfying thing is to feel like as an athlete that you can extract the best out of yourself and be one with the car. That's what I've always dreamt about and today I feel that way."
Pagenaud said he enjoys the challenges of Toronto's downtown street circuit, with its tight corners and surface changes.
"Usually when I start in the front, I feel like things can go well, but you never know here," said Pagenaud, third in the 2017 championship after 11 of 17 races and now within 30 points of leader Scott Dixon after collecting one point for winning the pole. "It's such an exciting race, always a twist here in the strategy, so anything can happen. But cross fingers that it goes our way."
Graham Rahal had his best Toronto qualifying effort in 12 tries and will start second in his Rahal Letterman Racing Honda with a lap of 59.2245 seconds (108.563 mph) in the Firestone Fast Six.
"Honestly, I think on used (alternate) tires, it's probably the best lap I've ever put together to put us P2," Rahal said. "The Penskes looked like they were going to run away with this thing. I'm so geeked for this team. These boys have worked so hard and, man, I couldn't be more proud of them. That was awesome."
A pair of Pagenaud's teammates at Team Penske, Helio Castroneves and Will Power, locked up the second row in qualifying. Castroneves was third fastest in the No. 3 Chevrolet (59.4345 seconds, 108.180 mph) with defending race winner Power fourth in the No. 12 Chevrolet (59.5430 seconds, 107.982 mph).
Scott Dixon was fifth in the No. 9 Honda (59.7970 seconds, 107.524 mph). The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has advanced to the Firestone Fast Six at every road- and street-course race where it has been contested this season.
The final spot in the Firestone Fast Six went to hometown favorite James Hinchcliffe, who equaled his best Toronto qualifying effort of sixth with a lap of 1 minute, 0.14145 seconds in the No. 5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda.
"It's always tricky qualifying here," said Hinchcliffe, who finished third in last year's Toronto race. "This track is one of the those with all the surface changes and, where the walls are, it's tough to get that lap on the (Firestone alternate) reds. … I'm really proud of the SPM Arrow guys. Top six (in qualifying) two years in a row, and last year we turned it into a podium, so let's hope for more of the same tomorrow."
Two incidents in earlier qualifying rounds affected drivers Esteban Gutierrez and JR Hildebrand.
Gutierrez, the rookie driving the No. 18 Honda, made hard contact with the wall at the exit of Turn 11 at the conclusion of Segment 1, Group 1 qualifying. The Dale Coyne Racing entry sustained significant right-side and rear damage in the incident.
Gutierrez was evaluated by INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Michael Olinger after experiencing concussion-like symptoms. The 25-year-old from Monterrey, Mexico, was treated and released. He was re-evaluated on Sunday and cleared to drive.
Hildebrand hit the wall in Segment 2 qualifying when his No. 21 Chevrolet jumped the curb on the inside of Turn 8 and slid into the outside barrier. The Ed Carpenter Racing driver was uninjured and will start 12th in Sunday's race, the 33rd for Indy cars in Toronto dating to the first event in 1986.
A final 30-minute warmup practice is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET Sunday and streams live on RaceControl.IndyCar.com. Live coverage of the 85-lap race commences at 3 p.m. on CNBC and the Advance Auto Parts INDYCAR Radio Network, with an encore presentation airing at 7 p.m. on NBCSN.

During the course of the year our high school pupils have opportunities to enjoy many outdoor activities.
Tramp to Waitawheta
Since the inception of the high school, Year 9 pupils have been introduced to tramping with a trip through the Waitawheta Valley. "We hiked for four hours to the hut: We saw the tramway showing our logging heritage, a waterfall, we walked through streams and on swingbridges, saw possums, swam - there are many waterholes - slept overnight at the hut and then walked out again the next day." For many of our pupils this is their first taste of tramping.
The Waterhole
Going to Totara Park to play tennis - that was fun.

Some walls were more challenging than others!
I'm glad we found the right marker...

A few hours in a stylish city.
On our visit to Slovenia, we spent a few hours in Ljubljana before taking the late evening flight home to UK.
I'd imagined a typical East European city, pleasant in places, beautiful in some, but pretty soon viewed, pretty soon left. ButI was surprised. Ljubljana is colourful, graceful, sophisticated even. It has its drabness, its poverty, its share of poor planning, but it also has an elegance, a vigour, and a loveliness ( at least to me) that equals, even surpasses, many other celebrated cities of Europe. Our few hours there were not enough; we shall be back. We'll go back to explore, to enjoy, to snap, to eat. ( And, G+L, if you're listening, to look in shoe shops!! )
In 1895, Ljubljana suffered a massive earthquake. The mayor of the time, Ivan Hribar, set up a rebuilding project. His architects were Slavic ones; they included Josip Vancas, Cyril Metod Koch and Maks Fabiani. Fabiani, in particular, then introduced the Austrian Secessionist ( Art Nouveau ) style of architecture to Ljubljana, following the influence of fashionable Vienna. Here are some snaps of some of these fabulous buildings and others....

Ever since it released thousands of diplomatic cables, Wikileaks has been being attacked on all possible technological fronts, from weathering a 10 Gbit per second DDoS attack to being kicked off of both their Amazon cloud-based hosting solution and then their DNS server… but the latest blow to the crowd-sourced leak site might be the biggest one yet. PayPal has frozen Wikileaks' donations account.
"PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity," reads a statement on PayPal's website. "We've notified the account holder of this action."
This is a big blow to Wikileaks, which has collected the majority of its $1MM in donations over the last year through PayPal. It's unknown how much of that money is still frozen in the PayPal account in question: one would hope that Wikileaks had already offloaded most of it into their own bank accounts, but the organization has made a series of surprising administrative gaffes over the past couple weeks that indicates that they might not have a contingency plan in place.
PayPal, of course, did not specify which illegal activity on Wikileaks' part that they are promoting… nor is it entirely clear that Wikileaks' actually is breaking any laws. None the less, it's not surprising that PayPal, like Amazon before it, wants to stay clear of the political storm that Wikileaks' latest mass devulgence of top secret intel has conjured up.

SWIMMING: Magnolia West girls 2nd at regional
MAGNOLIA — Magnolia West coach Jeremy Wade huddled with his girls 400-yard freestyle relay team as the Region V-4A swimming and diving championships were winding down Saturday evening at the Michael D. Holland Acquatic Center.
Suffice it to say Wade's swimmers were listening.
Magnolia West's quartet of Erin Giles, Hannah Dooley, Carly Sullins and Jessica Sloan established school and meet records in the closing 400 relay, turning in a time of three minutes, 32.59 seconds.
Magnolia West finished second in the girls standings. Austin Vandergrif had 399 points, followed by Magnolia West (303), Montgomery (230), Cedar Park (182) and Leander Rouse (176).
"They put the hammer down," Wade said. "I told them to go out, race for the team and fight for every inch. I think every one of our girls had their best times."
It was a remarkable day for Sloan, who captured the 200 individual medley in dominating fashion (2:08.69) before leading the grueling 500 freestyle from start to finish. Sloan won that race in 4:57.32.
After a short break, Sloan returned to the water and teamed with Giles, Mary Katherine Jones and Dooley to win the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:38.86. Montgomery's Shaley Schneider, Lizzy Markos, Shannon Cook and Michaela Hamrick were second (1:39.51).
"We got beat by Montgomery in the prelims (in the 400 freestyle relay)," Sloan said. "We really wanted to win today."
Wade anticipated Magnolia West finishing behind Vandergrif in the team standings but believes the Lady Mustangs could contend for the state championship in two weeks in Austin.
Vandergrif made it a sweep by taking the boys team championship with 277 points, followed by Georgetown (254), Montgomery (220), Magnolia (219) and Cedar Park (181).
Tomball Memorial's Shane Gregson was the outstanding female swimmer and Huntsville's Matthew Bitara took the boys honors.
Magnolia sophomore Forrest Lundy won a tight race against Montgomery's Casey Walsh to take first place in the 100 breaststroke. Lundy was timed in 1:00.78 while Walsh turned in a 1:00.85.
"That was a really close race," Lundy said. "You want to have tunnel vision there but you can kind of see with your peripheral vision how close he was."
Lundy also helped Magnolia place third in the medley relay, which was aided when the apparent winner, Huntsville, was disqualified for a premature start.
Montgomery's team of Kyle Remick, Walsh, Jace Aloway and Alex Lewis placed second in the medley relay.
The Lady Bears' Hamrick was second in the girls' 200 freestyle (1:53.39), which was won by Huntsville's Sierra Wagner in 1:52.11. Teammate Kyle Remick then placed third in the boys 200 IM with a time of 2:00.45.
Montgomery coach Dale Villemez was impressed with Magnolia West's effort in the girls 400 freestyle relay.
"You've got to give West credit," he said. "That's a faster time than the one that won at state last year."
Gregson edged Magnolia West's Sullins and Montgomery's Cook in the 100 backstroke, winning in 57.63 seconds. Schneider was third in the 100 freestyle while setting a school record for Montgomery with a time of 52.22 seconds.
Magnolia West, however, was a force throughout the meet. Sloan said the Lady Mustangs have been pushing themselves and Wade believes they'll be ready to peak at the state meet.
"We do a lot of "dry land" practicing — running, lifting weights," Sloan said. "I just tried to conserve my energy today. Long warm-ups and cool-downs, and just try to stay focused on the next race."
Wade said Sloan sets an example for the rest of the team.
"Jessica's got the drive," he said. "She's one of a kind. She puts in the hard work, and has the talent."
Sloan swam the anchor leg in the 200 and 500 relays for the Lady Mustangs.
Magnolia West's Sullins, Elizabeth Weston, Jones and Dooley placed second in the 200 medley relay. Vandegrif had the winning time of 1:50.89.
Willis' Will Waidhoffer was third in the boys' 100 butterfly (52.51), and his coach, Dana Fossmo, believes his time may be good enough to qualify for state. Huntsville's Bitara won that race in 50.96 seconds.
Willis' Chloe Helmink won the girls' 1-meter diving title, accumulating 471.4 points. Magnolia West's Alex Happe finished second to Tomball's Joseph Coumos (491.75 points) in boys 1-meter diving.
"Chloe had a little trouble adjusting to the board today," Fossmo said. "After the first or second dive, she started ripping them. She's really looking forward to going to state."
Giles gave Magnolia West a first place by winning the girls 50 freestyle in 23.97 seconds. Montgomery's Schneider was third (24.60).
Sullins finished second to Rouse's Haley Timmons (56.87) in the 100 butterfly with a time of 59.38 seconds.
Sullins added a second place in the 100 backstroke (58.15) while Montgomery's Cook was third (58.36).

Does anything more need to be said or written about the bizarre incident involving Costa Mesa Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer and the 911 call alleging his erratic driving as he made his way home from Skosh Monahan's the evening of Aug. 22?
Unfortunately, yes.
While I certainly hesitate to contribute to an incredible story that should have ended quietly, I think the event demonstrates why Costa Mesans should be particularly vigilant as we approach Election Day in November.
Let me state up front that I understand Righeimer's initial reaction to the situation. Being asked by a police officer to take a sobriety test after he arrived home was probably shocking. I can imagine the indignity he suffered, especially since he hadn't been drinking. I would have been justifiably angry, puzzled and slightly embarrassed.

Work has started on a project aimed at turning blighted industrial land into apartments in the Prospect Park neighborhood.
The project along SE. 4th Street, which developers are calling Green on Fourth, will include five- and six-story buildings, with 243 units and underground parking. A fourth of the units will be income-restricted.
"For people and families in Minneapolis, a lack of access to affordable housing is what stands between them and economic security," Mayor Jacob Frey said in a statement. "Green on Fourth — the product of years of hard work and collaboration among the City of Minneapolis and private and public partners — will help people find that security and build a life in our city."
The land is the former location of Boeser Sheet Metal. The contaminated site was remediated with help from Hennepin County and the Metropolitan Council. The city of Minneapolis last year approved spending $4 million on street improvements including better sidewalks, lighting and bike lanes as part of a larger effort to make the blocks around the Green Line's Prospect Park station more appealing from TCF Bank Stadium to the Surly brewery and restaurant complex.
Additional improvements to the corridor, such as stormwater collection, green space, trees and picnic tables, have been paid for with $485,000 from Hennepin County and $1 million from the Metropolitan Council.
Sixty-six apartments will be restricted to households with incomes earning 60 percent of the area median income or less. Of those, 49 units will be available only to households with incomes at or below 50 percent of area median income.
The developer is Timberland Partners, a national firm. The city will spend $3.2 million in grants for the project and nearly $4 million in tax-increment financing.
"This is a great success for the broader Towerside Innovation District and a lot of credit goes to all the work that so many neighbors and business owners have put into it so far," said Council Member Cam Gordon, whose ward includes the site. "It's the first Towerside building to include affordable housing, and is a great step towards building the truly mixed-income, diverse new neighborhood the community has envisioned for hundreds of new homes and jobs in the years to come."

NASCAR is an acronym that stands for National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing, a sanctioning body for stock car racing in America ranging all the way from local dirt track racing on up to the national Nextel Cup Series (now the Sprint Cup, as of the 2008 season). NASCAR is currently developing the Sprint Cup Series into a major American sport, along with taking their brand international with their second-tier series, the Busch Series (now the Nationwide Series, as of the 2008 season). NASCAR still has strong roots in the American Southeast, which is its primary fanbase, but it is now considered a staple of American life.
NASCAR was founded in 1948 by William "Bill" France Sr. in Daytona Beach, Florida, as a response to issues with the disorganized nature of stock car racing at the time. Over the next two-plus decades, France would successfully organize stock car racing into divisions, with the top one originally being known as "strictly stock", for how the almost entirely all-American cars were not allowed to be modified. When that rule was relaxed later on, the top division was renamed the "Grand National". Most races of the early days were run on short oval tracks of the American Southeast, although with some exceptions, notably Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina and then Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, which became NASCAR's premier track in 1959 after replacing the actual sandy beach that had previously been used.
As the sport grew, NASCAR underwent a transformation in the early 1970s. In 1970, NASCAR signed a title sponsorship deal with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, renaming their top division the "Winston Cup" Series, and giving the title of Grand National to the second division. Two years later, Reynolds would push NASCAR into dropping all dirt tracks and races of under 100 miles. These moves marked the beginning of NASCAR's modern era, and would be key to NASCAR's growth into the top level of American motorsports. That growth would be accomplished without the sport's founder, though, as Bill France Sr. retired in 1970 and his son, Bill France Jr., replaced him.
Over the next nearly three decades, NASCAR would grow steadily and would expand around the country. A good portion of its growth can be attributed to the success and popularity of its two great superstars, Richard Petty and then Dale Earnhardt. Combined, these two won a grand total of fourteen Winston Cup Series Championships, along with eight Daytona 500 titles, which had become the series' premier race at the beginning of each season. Into the 1990s, the days of the two superstars began to dwindle, which can partially be attributed to the now advanced development of the still all-American cars and the fact that most races were by then run on superspeedways around the country rather than Southeastern short tracks. Petty retired in 1992, while Earnhardt continued on into the new millennium before being tragically killed in a last-lap accident at the 2001 Daytona 500 that shocked the racing world and brought about further developments in driver safety on top of previous advances. By then, a new stock of talent had taken over the top NASCAR tier, which was renamed to the "NEXTEL Cup" in 2004 after NEXTEL Communications took over the title sponsorship from R.J. Reynolds. Top names of the new millennium came to be Jeff Gordon, who won four series titles after ironically making his debut in Petty's final race, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the popular son of the late Dale Sr. that achieved success by winning the Daytona 500 in 2004.
In the lower levels of NASCAR, a pickup-truck racing series sponsored by Craftsman tools in 1995. The series has been hugely successful, especially in providing appeal back to the conservative American base. In the new millennium, the now-titled Nationwide Series expanded internationally with races in Mexico in 2005 and one in Canada in 2007. In addition to all its regular local racing series, NASCAR also began running national series in Canada and Mexico in 2007.
Racing Today
Currently, the Sprint Cup runs a thirty-six race season, with forty-three cars participating in each. Most of the races are run on mid length oval tracks, but there also two races on road courses and two "restrictor place races" at tracks where the cars need to wear restrictor plates on their engines to slow down their high speeds, with one of these tracks being Daytona, the other Talladega. Top racers currently include the previously mentioned Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., along with Gordon's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, and former Indy racer Tony Stewart. The 2007 season saw the debut of the Sprint Cup series' first foreign carmaker in many years with Toyota, who had previously run the Craftsman Truck Series for a few years before joining the ranks of Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge. Additionally, NASCAR also began running the "Car of Tomorrow" that it had developed, with the new model expected to be used for all races in 2008.

Purpose: :
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of combination photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal bevacizumab for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Methods: :
Combination of intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg) and PDT was performed on 11 eyes of 11 Japanese patients (mean age 73.6 y) with PCV. Intravitreal bevacizumab and PDT were carried out every 4 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively, according to the optical coherence tomography findings. We retrospectively compared the best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA) of the combination therapy group with PDT monotherapy group (61 eyes of 61 Japanese patients, mean age 70.0 y).
Results: :
Log MAR BCVA at baseline were -079 ± 0.58 in the combination therapy group and -074 ± 0.49 in the PDT monotherapy group. The difference in the logMAR BCVA at the baseline was not significant (P = 0.76). 12 months after treatment, the logMAR BCVA change from baseline in the combination therapy group (0.37 ± 0.59) was significantly better than the PDT monotherapy group (0.08 ± 0.40)(P = 0.041).
Conclusions: :
The improvement of BCVA was significantly better in the combination therapy group than in the PDT monotherapy group. Combination PDT and intravitreal bevacizumab was effective treatment for PCV.

Yesterday MP's in the commons voted to change the law on organ donation to make it an opt-out rather than an opt-in system. This means that, whereas the current law means that if individuals feel they want to be considered as organ donors they should sign up to the organ donor register, they will in future need to opt out of organ donation, therefore making a very specific statement in life that they do not wish their organs to be donated in the event of their untimely death.
It is believed that by changing this law, another 500 lives a year could be saved.
However, there are several fundamental points here which have not really been explored. When talking about an opt-out system, many people assume that in the event someone has not opted out of donation, their organs will automatically be harvested if they are eligible. In fact many people assume that even now, if someone is signed up to the organ donor register, their organs will automatically be harvested for transplant in the event of their death and assuming the circumstances of their death make them eligible. This is in fact not the case, and in the event someone is declared brain dead and the circumstances of their death would make them eligible organ donors, the final decision still rests with their next of kin. This means that someone who is signed up to the organ donor register may still not donate their organs if their next of kin are fundamentally opposed to the idea, or, conversely, someone who might not have wanted their organs donated might still become an organ donor if the next of kin fundamentally believe in organ donation.
In the event that an opt-out system passes into law, this will not change, and the next of kin will still have the overriding decision. This means that, rather than looking at opting in or out of a system, individuals should instead be speaking to their family, their partners, parents, children, about their wishes in the event of their untimely death, so that people are aware of what the deceased would have wanted to happen to them.
Opt out does also have one other fundamental part which I take issue with. As things currently stand, the next of kin would have the overriding power of decision. However, changing of the law does open up a reality where, unless you opt out, the law will make allowance for the fact that in the event of your death your body will become the property of the state. Many people will argue that of course decisions would never be made without the consent of your loved ones, but the truth here is that once something is enshrined in law, it doesn't take much to change that law in order to achieve a desired outcome.
In life we as individuals demand the right to bodily autonomy. Why then would anyone believe that it should be ok to relinquish that autonomy in the event of our death?
I do not have any issue with organ donation. My organs are not of any use to me where I'm going, and as such, should I end up in a situation where such conversations need to be had, I don't have issue with my organs being donated if eligible. I do however have an issue with this being done autonomously without the potential knowledge of my family who are my next of kin, and while that may not currently be the case, I have issue with a law which could allow it to become the case.
As such, if opt out becomes law in the UK I will be opting out on the basis that conversations with my family mean that in the event of my untimely death my wishes will still be carried out, but they will be carried out on the authorisation of those who knew them and who are the ones who have to live with the aftermath, not by the state to whom I am just another potential organ donor.
It is important that your family know your wishes. The organ donor rate can only increase if people communicate in life with those who have the overriding decision making powers in death.

Thirukadalmallai Temple, also known as Sthalasayana Perumal Temple, is one of the best temples in Mahabalipuram. Being a UNESCO site, the temple is among the 32 Groups of Monuments at Mahabalipuram.
The temple is believed to be built by the Pallavas and later renovated by rulers like the Medieval Cholas, the Kings of Vijayanagara and the Madurai Nayaks. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his consort Goddess Lakshmi. Lord Vishnu is worshipped here as Sthalasayana Perumal and Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped as Nilamangai Thayar.
PC: Ssriram mt
Legend Behind The Temple
The temple's existence has an interesting story behind it. Legend has it that sage Pundarika was performing a penance here to please Lord Vishnu. He collected Tamarasa flowers to offer them to Lord Vishnu as it was the Lord's favourite flower. The penance was to see Lord Vishnu in Ksirabdhi Natha form, like the posture seen in Thirupaarkadal, an ocean mentioned in Hindu mythology.
Travel To The Historical Town Of Mahabalipuram
As the sage was involved in bringing flowers, Lord Vishnu appeared before him in the form of an aged man. The old man asked for food and Pundarika went in search of food. It is said that the old man stayed in the same place till the sage returned, thus the deity here is named 'Sthalasayana Perumal'.
PC: Logicwiki
Some Interesting Info About The Temple
The temple is built using Dravidian style of architecture. It is believed that the place was called Ezhu Kovil Nagaram or the Seven Temple City as there were seven temples in the region. Unfortunately, except the Thirukadalmallai Temple, the other six temples were washed away by the sea.
Road-Trip From Chennai To Mahabalipuram
How To Reach The Temple
The Thirukadalmallai Temple is located in the city of Mahabalipuram, which is around 50 km away from Chennai. The nearest railway station and airport to the temple are in Chennai.

After months of beta testing, Google Music is finally available for everyone to sign-up for and use, and there are a slew of new features for you to use.
Before you jump in, however, here's a quick rundown of how to use the service.
Signing Up/In
If you currently use GMAIL, Google+, YouTube or any of Google's associated web services, you're ready to use Google Music. Just head over to music.google.com use the same email address and password combination you usually do, and you're in. If you don't have a Google login of some kind, you can create one in a matter of minutes. Just click the "Create an Account" button and you're good to go.
Access The Music Interface
The beauty of Google Music is that it is entirely browser-based. When you visit music.google.com, all of your music is right there and can be streamed, in its entirety, directly to whatever device you're on. The interface is similar to iTunes and most other music management software; you can organize and browse by artists, songs, or albums and even see cover art. Moreover, you can create and access playlists, which can be managed right from within your browser or even imported from your PC or Mac.
But before you can really take advantage of Google Music's features, you need to add music to your library.
Importing from Your Computer
In order to get your music from your computer onto your Google Music cloud server, you need to first install the Google Music Manager. The Music Manager is compatible with both PC and Mac and can be downloaded either from directly within the Google Music interface or at this link. After the brief installation, the Music Manager software asks you to configure its settings to you preference, either opting to only upload your entire music library or only certain playlists from iTunes. If you don't use iTunes, you can also specify a certain folder on your PC or Mac to upload music from.
If you opted to upload a large collection of music, syncing all of the files with your Google Music cloud storage may take anywhere from an hour to over a day. It's all dependent on the number of files you're uploading and the speed of your connection.
Once your initial sync is complete, you can set the Music Manager to automatically upload any new music to the cloud. The software will automatically survey your system, find the newest tracks and upload them completely behind the scenes.
Creating Playlists, Editing Song Info and More
Once your Google Music library is populated with songs and albums, you can do just about everything you can do with a regular music client, including creating playlists and smart playlists, and editing track info. If you synced your account with iTunes on your PC or Mac, your playlists will be imported by default with every song intact. To create a new one, however, just hit the + button in the playlists section, edit the title and click and drag music from your library.
Google also supports automatically generated playlists, similar to Apple's Genius feature, called Instant Mixes. Whenever you're listening to a song, just select Create Instant Mix and it'll immediately construct a playlist of songs from your library that best complement any given selected song.
Buying Music from the Android Market
While most of the functionality of Google Music remains the same from the beta testing period, the Music shop on the Android Market is a new addition. Accessible from directly within the Google Music interface, the new Music shop allows users to purchase and download thousands of songs from some of the biggest artists in the worlds. Like Google Music, the shop is entirely web-based, so you can access it from any notebook or desktop computer. Once you find a song or album you want to buy, just click purchase, enter your credit card information and click purchase. From there, the song or album can be downloaded to your hard drive and will be automatically added to your cloud library.
Sharing with Google+
If you're a Google+ user and uses the same login you used for Google Music, you can post a song on your Stream for anyone in your Circles to listen to, in its entirety, one time. Just click on a song, click Share Song and add a personal message. One thing to note, however, is that this feature is limited exclusively to music purchased through the Android Market. Songs added from your PC or Mac are not eligible.
Listening on the Go
As cool as streaming music from any web browser is, the whole service would be useless if you couldn't listen to your music library on the go. Fortunately, Google Music features a companion app for Android smartphones and tablets, which allows you to stream your entire music library over Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G. If you know you're going to be out of service, you can also cache entire playlists for offline listening. The service can also be accessed on iOS devices via the Safari web browser, but without a native app, does not support offline listening.
Downloading Purchases to Your Computer
If you make a purchase on the Android Market on a computer other than your own, you can always download it later. Just open the Music Manager application and click Download Music Purchases. The DRM-free songs will download immediately to your hard drive for you to load onto your iPod or burn onto a CD.

In my book review on The Mercy I touched a little bit on forgiving and showing mercy, but this is something I want to delve into deeper because I feel it's something we all can relate to.
We have all been in the position when someone you deeply care about does something to hurt you. Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was a misunderstanding, or maybe it was that person's personal struggles coming to light. Whatever the origin of the wrongdoing may be; it is not an easy place to be.
The act of saying "I forgive you" is simple, just three little words. Just as easy as saying "I love you". But the act of forgiving is rarely so simple.
In order to forgive, really forgive, you have to extend mercy and grace to the person who wronged you. Grace is defined as: an act of kindness or courtesy, an exemption. To show someone grace is to look past their faults, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. Mercy is: compassion shown to an offender, kindness extended to someone instead of strictness or severity. By extending mercy you are not showing someone the retribution or punishment they deserve.
In simpler terms; grace is getting what we don't deserve, mercy is not getting what we do deserve.
The very human part of us has trouble being so open and vulnerable with someone, particularly someone who has hurt us after we have opened ourselves up to them. But when you forgive you not only free that person from guilt and shame, you free yourself from additional pain and take a big step towards healing.
When you forgive someone you are essentially saying: I don't like what you did, but I love you more than I dislike what your mistake.
At times in my life I have struggled with forgiveness and showing grace. But then it hit me, I don't deserve the blessing of love and salvation that God has given me through Jesus. If I can accept a gift that I do not deserve, then how can I withhold a lesser blessing from someone I love?
I can't.
Forgiveness isn't always easy, but it is always right.

This is a black bumble bee that I found resting on my garden wall. They are not particularly aggressive although they look quite frightening...it was the size of my thumb and very black and shiny.
When you get up close the black becomes a vivid blue in the wings. But I didn't get too near, I'm not that brave....I zoomed in with my camera and took some photos!

Take into account popularity
Popularity is one of the most important attributes of any commercial video production company. If a company is not popular, it may not be a good commercial video production company.

Restaurant: East_and_Main_Bistro Prince_Edward_County
Nelson: Out anniversary trip took us out to Prince Edward County where we enjoyed a meal at this cute restaurant. The decor was very nice and the outdoor patio would be a really nice option if it wasn't so close to the road. The complaint I have is that the place was infested with flies large and small. Set out some fly traps please!
The bread was a regular baguette type but fresh. I did wish for a few more pieces to start, but the food came fairly quickly.
For wine (not pictured) we tried the Sandbanks Winery, 2010 Baco Noir ($9) described as full-bodied, blackberry, chocolate and slightly smoky. I though the berry flavours really shone through and it was a strangely sweet wine for a red variety.
|For a starter, we tried grilled scallop & shrimp ceviche, avocado, pineapple, watermelon, fresh lime ($13). With a refreshing taste probably as a result of all the fresh fruit especially the watermelon. The pineapple was a little sharp, but everything else went together really well. The shrimp was just barely cooked but it was good that way. It wasn't too sour either and had a really nice balance of flavours. Sometimes this dish is difficult to get right, but this one was excellent.
|I had the Brome lake duck breast, summer vegetables, and warm blueberry vinaigrette ($26). This duck took some talent to prepare because the depth of flavour was incredible. All at once it was smoky, fatty, wild and fruity. The blue berries are an inspired choice to go with this dish. Only the potatoes underneath were a little underwhelming. The salad had a strong vinegary taste and the sauce in the bottom was a tad sour too. At the same time it was sweet and for some reason I was reminded of an Asian flavour profile. I liked it better without the sauce personally. Hard to tell from this angle, but the cut of meat was cooked skillfully rare.
Kitty had the county cider brined & smoked pork tenderloin, maple mustard and sweet potato mash ($25). That is a very Canadian sounding dish. Unfortunately the pork was a tad dry, perhaps as a result of it being smoked. The sauce helped with this but I didn't get any maple, mustard or smoky notes to it at all. Doesn't make sense because if it was dry because of it being smoked I would expect way more smoke flavour. So I tasted some pork without the sauce and finally I could taste the subtle smoke flavour and I enjoyed the pork so much more. The sweet potato mash was decent with a butter and herb infusion. There were even more sweet potatoes on the side which I thought was a little excessive. Maybe it was actually squash, but it sure tasted similar. You don't often see corn on the cob at a nice restaurant, but this one was really good as it had a nice moist soft texture finished with butter.
Overall a positive experience with the food, if only they controlled their fly problem better. With good service as well, I would still recommend this place.

Release Date: 13th June 2014
Certification: 12A
Running Time: 104 Minutes
Director: Amma Asante
Starring: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sarah Gadon, Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, Tom Felton, Penelope Wilton, Sam Reid, Matthew Goode
Issues of race seem to be in fashion this season, cinematically at least. Back in 2012, Daniel Day Lewis personally abolished 19th Century slavery in the United States with his Oscar-winning performance in Lincoln. Then in 2013 the ultimate white freedom fighter was removed from office, usurped by Chiwetel Ejiofor and the cast of 12 Years a Slave with a more personal tale of an upper-class black man deceived into slavery. This year sees the turn of the British, with Amma Asante's Belle: the 'trump' tale of a beautiful, black woman rescued from the slums and elevated to the upper echelons of Georgian society, only to discover colour weighs heavier than blood lines.
Starring a myriad of British talent, both old and new – including Tom Wilkinson, Penelope Wilton, Tom Felton and of course, Gugu Mbatha-Raw – Belle is the epitome of the sort of starched, upper-class period drama to which Jane Austen fans may flock. Unfortunately for its stars, writer Misan Sagay's script is not a classical masterpiece. Certain scenes drown in over-flowery dialogue where all meaning or emotion is sadly lost, while others suffer from a distinct lack of subtlety as their points are banged repeatedly over your head, perhaps in case you fall asleep during the over-indulgent, grandiloquent rhetoric.
Sagay purportedly based her script around the 18th Century painting of the real Dido Elizabeth Belle Lindsay, in which Dido, the black niece of an Earl, is seen at equal eye level as that of her white cousin, Elizabeth. This was a feat virtually unheard of at a time when most black art subjects where depicted looking up at their white counterparts from their lowly position. Although the majority of the remaining script is fabricated, the art theme endures and provides some the most genuinely emotive scenes of the film, along with those of Dido (Mbatha-Raw) and lover, John Divinier's budding relationship.
Relative newcomer, Sam Reid delivers a powerful performance as law student, Divinier throughout while Mbatha-Raw relies heavily on her ability to produce a prolonged and meaningful stare. Tom Wilkinson and Penelope Wilton shine (as they are prone to do) as Dido's uncle, Lord Mansfield and the savvy spinster, Aunt Mary. Harry Potter star Tom Felton continues to be typecast as the snivelling prick of the big screen, only this time as a racist Malfoy, plus a bad wig and minus the wand.
The undoubted stars of the show however, remain uncredited throughout – despite giving the biggest and most mesmeric of performances – are that of Dido and Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon)'s heaving bosoms. Florid scripts, blank facial expressions, and legal cases that genuinely contributed toward the abolishment of slavery in Great Britain? All but Forgotten. Perhaps if they spent less time focusing on their cleavages and perfected other aspects, then this would've packed more of an emotional punch.
While Belle is not the sweeping British Oscar contender director Asante may have hoped for, it is more than the trailers would make it out to be, despite its shortcomings. So take the plunge and delve into this year's corseted racial couture, if this is your bag then you most likely will not be disappointed.

PARADE Update: Getting Started: Sherri Thomas and Meghan Olesen
With nearly one in 10 Americans looking for work, the job search is tougher than ever. PARADE chose five unemployed people looking for work and paired each with a career counselor. Below is the first update from Sherri Thomas, Career Coaching 360 for the PARADE series "The Job Hunt".
"Getting Started: Sherri Thomas and Meghan Olesen "
Meghan Oleson and I had our initial consultation this week so that I could better understand her career history, goals and vision, as well as share my strengths as a career coach and areas of expertise. I'm impressed with Megan's young age (she's 30 years old) and her ability to successfully transition into a variety of job roles and industries including being an executive pastry chef, marketing specialist and entrepreneur.
She has many wonderful strengths and passions, plus a wide range of transferable skills that we can tap to help her reinvent her career!
The first question I asked Meghan (and all my clients) is how best I could help her.
Option A) Help her find a job RIGHT NOW.
Option B) Help her create a career vision, action plan and transition into a meaningful and inspiring career (this approach takes more time, thought and focus – but the result is having a thriving career with more options, more stability and more passion!)
Meghan chose Option B.
This means that over the next several weeks, I'll be giving her my exclusive steps to create her personal Career Success Blueprint™, as well as helping her create a simple but powerful career action plan that includes a job search strategy, networking techniques and a polished and professional resume to build a powerful personal brand, increase her marketability, and stand out from her competition.
After Meghan determined that this is the direction she wanted to go, then it was time for her first assignment – creating her personal Career Success Blueprint™. The first step is for Meghan to define her career vision. This includes three (3) key skills or responsibilities that Meghan wants to be known, recognized and paid for.
Envision yourself one year from now in a career that motivates and inspires you. What are you doing? What kind of responsibilities do you want to have? What kinds of projects and initiatives do you enjoy doing? What kinds of teams do you have a passion to lead? For her first assignment, Meghan is drawing a Venn diagram (three circles that connect to each other) and inside each circle she is writing one key skill or responsibility that she desires in her next career move.
With so many talents and strengths, I'm excited to see what she'll choose … 🙂
Interview Tips for Recent Grads
If you're a recent college graduate (or even if you're not), check out my most recent interview on NBC Phoenix Channel 12 with tips to set yourself apart from the other applicants and help you land that first job – even if you don't have "experience".
5 Must-Have Tools for your Career Emergency First Aid Kit
Just like with any emergency situation it's critical to have a plan, an exit strategy, and a toolkit with all the essentials to help you land back on your feet. So to help you bounce back quickly from any career setback, here are five essentials to have in your "career emergency toolkit".
- A professionally critiqued resume. Many times your resume is the "first impression" a hiring manager has of you, so it needs to be spectacular! In order to get noticed in this tough job market, your resume must be in the top 2-percent of all submitted resumes. Does your resume measure up?
- An "Interview Prep Kit" including a polished portfolio, briefcase and power suit. Make sure you're prepared for an interview, by having a hefty sample of your best work available including reports, strategic plans, proposals, campaigns or presentations that you created. This helps validate your successes and what you can do for the next company that hires you.
- List of high powered references. Start identifying those who could give you a strong professional recommendation. Go after those managers and executives with the highest title, biggest influence, and work for the most prestigious companies.
- A Deep and Wide Professional Network. Don't wait to start networking – do it now. Send your contacts links to reports, case studies, press releases and websites that you think may interest them. Invite them to business networking events, and introduce them to other movers and shakers. Career influencers (those who could hire you, or introduce you to others who could potentially hire you) are drawn to those who are resourceful and well connected.
- Your Plan "B". What is your back-up plan if you lost your job right now? Could you freelance or start consulting? Would you prefer to work part-time while getting some specialized training or advanced education to help you come back better and stronger? Create a contingency plan to help you land back on your feet quickly should your career take an unexpected turn.
The key is to always be prepared for the worst – always. By having the right tools and plans in your Career Emergency First Aid Kit, you'll be better equipped to manage through any career setback, as well as come back faster and stronger!
For a faster career change, work your netWORK
There has been a major shift in the hiring strategies that organizations are using to hire top talent over the past 12-months that many job seekers don't know about. The latest studies show that as much as 70% of companies who hired new employees in 2009 hired those candidates who had a referral within the organization.
In other words, if you want to speed up the process of landing your next job, you need to "work your network."
Who should be in your network?
Make it a priority to get connected and stay connected to people who could hire you, or introduce you to others who could potentially hire you. Get re-connected with past employers, managers, customers, and colleagues.
Also, expand your network by meeting new contacts and attending industry conferences, trade shows, business networking events, and association meetings that target the industry (high tech, health care, etc.), or the job role (marketing, finance, management, etc.) you want. Be sure to block off your calendar so that you can attend at least two events each week.
Another great way to expand your network is by joining professional networking sites such as LinkedIn.com This is a super easy way to get connected to networking groups, industry leaders, and company decision makers. Make sure you create a polished and professional profile that highlights your career strengths, talents, results, and successes.
How can you network in a tactful way?
There is one BIG rule in networking. That is, you never want to give the impression that you're hungry for a job. Instead, you want to be seen as someone who's resourceful, knowledgeable, and has a wide network.
Send out personalized notes and e-mails to your network with links to industry news, reports, case studies, press releases, videos, and cool websites that you think may interest them. Offer to write recommendation letters, and introduce them to others in your network. Finally, invite your network to business networking events, and introduce them to movers and shakers that you know.
Career influencers are drawn to those who are resourceful. And when they know about job opportunities they're more likely to tell you about job opportunities and give you a recommendation. So remember, the goal is to create a pull relationship with your network so that they are drawn towards you (not running away from you!). 🙂
To learn more about the "four types of career influencers" who need to be in your network, and how to network for job leads, referrals and recommendations check out my book, "Career Smart – 5 Steps to a Powerful Personal Brand". It's now on Amazon's Top 10 List for personal branding books!
Create a strategic job search plan
The single biggest mistake I see job seekers making is not having a personalized job search strategy. That is, an action plan loaded with websites, companies and people they are going to leverage to land their next career move.
Many professionals are simply applying for a few jobs they see on-line, attend a couple of networking events, and then get completely discouraged and say that there aren't any job openings. The fact is companies are hiring professionals every day. So what shouldn't one of them by YOU?!
The fastest and easiest way to land your next job is to create a personalized job search strategy and then follow it every week!
You need to fish where the fish are, so find out where your potential employers are by reading on-line job boards (i.e. CareerJournal.com, theLadders.com, etc.) specialized trade magazines, industry publications (the Business Journal) and company websites. You'll learn which industries are hiring, which companies are hiring, and what the hot jobs are.
Additionally, you'll want to create a list of organizations where you would like to work. Visit their website every week to search for on-line jobs, and any press releases or blog postings about internal departments that may be hiring.
The reason that on-line job boards should NOT be your only source for job openings is that some sites are notorious for listing outdated jobs. Why waste your time? Instead, I suggest that you make a list of job search sites that offer high quality jobs that match your skillset, and then check those sites weekly.
You can start by conducting a search on Google or Yahoo for the job role and the city where you want to work (example: software engineer, Portland). Review all the sites listed on the top four or five pages, and bookmark only those sites that list promising job opportunities.
You'll find that each site varies in the quality of positions listed (lower-level to senior-level, as well as salary ranges), plus the type of industries, or vertical sectors listed. Some sites do a better job than others updating their lists, or publicizing openings in your city.
Focus your attention only on those sites. Once you've created a list of your top job search sites, make a commitment to review those sites weekly.
For more juicy tips on how to find out which industries are hiring, which companies are hiring, and what the hot jobs are pick up my exclusive Career Change Boot Camp Program. My two (2) CD audio program w/ e-Workbook gives proven, step-by-step strategies to help you transition QUICKLY and EASILY into a new job role, company, or industry.
Double your Career Opportunities by Thinking Up, Down and Sideways!
Many people get hung-up on job titles when job hunting. Instead of focusing on the title of the job, focus on the responsibilities. Here are a few quick tips to help point you in the right direction.
- View jobs with smaller titles when considering a LARGER company.
- View jobs with bigger titles when considering a SMALLER company.
- Expand your career options by considering different industries.
