Jury Awards $5.39 Million to family in suit over medical negligence
I read about this case in the Seattle Times. I do not, of course have any direct knowledge of the case from a medical standpoint or any knowledge of the legal aspects and how it played at trial. And it may yet be overturned or reduced on appeal. So any commentary I deliver on it must be taken with several of the proverbial grains of salt.
This is the sort of case that drives ER docs crazy, and drives the defensive medicine epidemic. First of all, the verdict rings false to me. I suspect it's bullshit. I don't know: maybe the ER doc really was negligent -- maybe the patient gave some clear sign that he needed further work-up. But maybe not, and it's more than likely unfair for this doc's career to be destroyed by a case viewed retrospectively. This unfortunate man had a very rare and highly lethal disease; he also had a very common complaint. I see 30-year-olds with chest pain every single day. Like the ER doc in this case, most go home with a reassuring diagnosis and some supportive medication. And I have been lucky -- none of them unexpectly dropped dead. And I know, as all ER docs working in the pits know, that if and when one does drop dead, the ER doc (or whomever last touched the hot potato) is going to be blamed. So I test like crazy and just hope that I happen to be ordering the right test on the right patient. Some of what I do is cookbook medicine, but a lot of time the patients don't read the textbook before coming in, so I have to cast a wide net -- what we call using the "shotgun approach."
So when you come in to the ER and you have to wait hours to be seen, maybe you have to endure multiple semi-necessary tests, maybe you get admitted or get an invasive procedure "just to be safe," this is why. Because I do not wish to suffer the same fate as the poor Dr Dy. Whose name, I note, is no longer listed on the medical staff of the hospital where the event took place -- a hospital which is very prestigious and well-compensated. Maybe she just moved on. More likely she was shown the door.
And the state Physician Quality Assurance Commission did review the case and found Dr Dy's care to be within the standard of care. (pity that's not admissable at trial.)

It is pretty hard to tell much from the $hit published by Seattle Times joke of a journalist. A few points:ReplyDelete
"he computer-systems engineer died two days later from what was later discovered to be an aortic rupture, a tear in the heart's major artery."
A very healthy, 30 year old man. Unless, the guy had warning signs, (tachycardia, orthostasis, etc). Looking for this diagnosis would mean scanning everyone.
"When Hoang visited his regular doctor at the University of Washington-Belltown clinic two days later, he was diagnosed with a heart infection."
Whatever that means. Are we talking viral myocarditis or a bacterial endocarditis, or what? Don't think I would be sending someone on their way with an endocarditis, but again the article is journalistic $hit.
"The state Department of Health investigated Dy's actions and found that they fell "within the standard of care." The case was closed in April 2006."
Movin, I guess, the plantiff had better paid testimoney for the jury. Standard of care is whatever any hack with an MD, says it is to a jury. It's not about the truth or the evidence. It's about the show for the jurors. Best acting wins. I doubt Dr. Dy has a 5 million dollar policy. So her career is ruined on a very difficult diagnosis if their is lack of obvious objective evidence.

Why didn't they sue his regular doc? Guess his pockets weren't deep enough.ReplyDelete
I dunno---it says he collapsed at home and had chest pain. Not many people collapse from acid refulx-related chest pain....Who knows what he told the doctors at the time though.ReplyDelete
"So when you come in to the ER and you have to wait hours to be seen, maybe you have to endure multiple semi-necessary tests, maybe you get admitted or get an invasive procedure "just to be safe," this is why."ReplyDelete
We patients have to endure all those tests because of a case you have no knowledge of from a medical or legal standpoint? And which may be overturned on appeal? That's why you toss your professional judgment and skill aside?
And why would this doc's career be "destroyed"? There are many physicians out there practicing with multiple judgments.
It's sad but true that much of defensive medical practice is driven by apocryphal and mythical "scare stories." The balance is driven by well-sourced and factual "scare stories," like the sort we get at educational conferences. Cases like this just reinforce the bunker mentality of doctors that they will get sued for a gazillion dollars every time they miss a rare disorder. Selection bias, sure, but when it's a page one headline in both local papers, it does catch the attention.
And it may be an exaggeration to say that her career was ruined per se, but it's a huge black mark on her record, and will place her at a significant disadvantage in any competitive job application in the future (and may already have cost her one job).
A "huge black mark"? In what way and why? If all physicians believe that most verdicts for the plaintiff are bogus, and the "quality assurance" board, whoever they are, said it met the standard of care, who is blackballing her? Where is she not getting a job? I think the "huge black mark" is yet another scare issue. Too many physicians with MULTIPLE payouts are still making a living around the country.ReplyDelete
I understand you have a "bunker mentality". The question so few of you apparently stop to ask is, why? And does it actually do you any good?
I do the hiring for our group. If I have one applicant and they look great but they have a judgement, I'll review their story and try to decide whether it merits concern. If there are two candidates otherwise well matched, and one has a judgement and one does not, I am influenced by that -- it's human nature. I will probably try to keep it in perspective, but I can't exclude it from my mind.ReplyDelete
The last time we advertised for hiring, we got over 70 applications. Having a big judgment against you has got to put you lower on the list against all the docs with clean records.
If you have two judgements -- well that's bad. Maybe you just got unlucky twice. Maybe you made one mistake and got unlucky once. But you are going to have a hard time getting hired anywhere desirable.
Is the risk overestimated by docs? Probably. But the consequences are so bad from the point of view of the docs that there is a very strong aversion to risk.
She may have trouble obtaining malpractice insurance in the future because of this megajudgment. If she can obtain it at all, it will cost a lot more than it would cost someone with a clean record.ReplyDelete
Thus if she tries to join a group that pays malpractice insurance for her (like every group I have ever worked for), they would likely choose a candidate with a clean record over her.
Not to mention the difficulty she may have obtaining hospital privileges.
It's not just a scare issue, and it's no more anecdotal than your "too many" rogue physicians still practicing despite multiple payouts.
1. They could prove the aortic rupture happened before he went to the ER the first time and not later?ReplyDelete
2. Just because you're at risk of aortic rupture doesn't mean you don't also have GE reflux.
3. Nurse K should know that you can get some pretty impressive symptoms from GE reflux if you get a vagal response. Pale, diaphoretic, heart rate of 50. I called 911. The ER doc was sufficiently impressed to admit and observe over night. OK, his Hx of CAD did play into that, but he looked better with unstable angina than with GE reflux.

"She may have trouble obtaining malpractice insurance in the future because of this megajudgment. If she can obtain it at all, it will cost a lot more than it would cost someone with a clean record."ReplyDelete
Again, lots of ifs, buts, and maybes there. They might all be true, but it seems like pretty sketchy evidence for one to take any action based on it.
"It's not just a scare issue, and it's no more anecdotal than your "too many" rogue physicians still practicing despite multiple payouts."
That's not anecdotal - many states have websites that will tell you that information.
So do you really believe that someone with a multi-million dollar malpractice judgment against them will be able to easily obtain malpractice insurance at the same rate as someone with a clean record, and that hospital credentialing committees will just overlook the unfortunate black mark?ReplyDelete
Or are you just being lawyerly?
- Anonymous9/05/2007 4:11 PM
"So do you really believe that someone with a multi-million dollar malpractice judgment against them will be able to easily obtain malpractice insurance at the same rate as someone with a clean record, and that hospital credentialing committees will just overlook the unfortunate black mark?"ReplyDelete
I don't know what you mean by "easily". Without knowing how your insurer classifies its risks, it's impossible to know. The amount of the judgment doesn't mean that much once it's at policy limits.
If I have one car wreck, I doubt I have much trouble getting insurance, and probably at the same rates. If I have 5, that's another thing altogether.
- Anonymous9/10/2007 11:57 PM
My dad constantly got called for jury duty, and he warned us to stay out of courts, that there is seldom any sensible justice to be obtained. I think that is more true today than ever.ReplyDelete
Those who think it's just fine to sue a doctor forget that lawyers are willing to help sue anyone at all, for any ridiculous thing at all. We're all in jeopardy in this lawsuit-happy culture.

If lawmakers do not avert sequestration and the cuts take place next year, as scheduled, Dempsey still will have to pay the bill for the military's "overseas contingency operations" in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, he told attendees at a military leadership breakfast sponsored by Government Executive.
"If there's money taken out of the $88.5 billion that we say we need for OCO, I'm going to have to take money out of the base and invest it. You can't not pay those bills. So OCO will touch it, but the money's coming from some place, and that is the base," he said.
When other options such as personnel cuts and base realignment and closure are taken off the table as well, Defense isn't left with many choices, according to Dempsey.
"There's talk about exempting manpower . . . and you've also said, 'Thou shall not BRAC,' " he said. "So now you've limited the places where that money can come from. It can't come from manpower. It can't come from infrastructure. And you have to reinvest in OCO. And what's left is operations, maintenance and training and modernization."
Defense has had to transition in recent years to a budget-minded operation, and Dempsey readily acknowledged the department has become accustomed to a large degree of fiscal freedom as a result of a decade of war.
"Over the last 10 years of relatively unconstrained resources, we've had a thousand flowers blooming out there. If someone had an idea, it was pretty easy to resource it," he said.
"We've kind of really stretched out the rubber band. Shame on us if we let it go and contract to the same shape it was before. Because then, frankly, I think we've got some problems," Dempsey added
He said Defense plans to reduce its footprint in Europe by half to adjust to manpower reductions, while the footprint in the Pacific Rim won't change and the level of continued U.S. presence in the Middle East has not yet been decided.
Cyberwarfare, unmanned drones and an "exponential" increase in special operations forces are three key technological capabilities Defense has today that it didn't have when the global war on terror began, Dempsey said. While the department must continue to invest in technology, it should not "become enamored of shiny objects," he said.
The chairman also emphasized the importance of transitioning military personnel to a stable civilian workforce while finding a better way to harness the younger generation's "entrepreneurial" qualities as new recruits enter the armed forces.
"If we don't get the people right, the rest of it won't matter. We're going to put the country at risk," he said.

RAD needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 104 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
I am launching several websites. Each website title will include the word "Hook", but will have its own unique prefix. Example: motoHook for motorcyclists; hikerHook for hikers. Thus, the main logo needs to be centered around the word "Hook". The word "Hook" must be able to stand alone, with prefixes to be added. The word "hook" (in the context of my websites) will mean to 'connect with' or to 'introduce to'.
The purpose of 'motoHook' is to hook (connect or introduce) motorcycle riders around the world to tours, trips, projects, events, and other motorcycle riders. But again, the word "Hook" will eventually be used with other prefixes, so the logo for 'motoHook' should not incorporate any motorcycle designs. The design should somehow convey the meaning of 'connecting with' and 'linking up with'.
I am open to any and all ideas.
I do like burnt-orange as a main color, though.
- The logo should not look overly masculine. Women will use the website(s) as well.Feel free to use capital letters, little letters, cursive, block, swirls, - be creative

Wow! What a football season for Jockey spokesman, Tim Tebow. From the amazing finishes to Tebow Time, we certainly went through our fair share of fresh Jockeys. While a loss Saturday vs. New England officially ended the Jockey $1 MILLION "Super" Challenge, we decided to celebrate Tebow's great season with a special surprise for all of our awesome fans. To learn more, visit www.jockey.com/tebow.
As an underwear company, we want people to wear really cool underwear. So, we introduced Jockey staycool, innovative underwear for men and women that regulates skin temperature, helping to keep you cool and comfortable all day long. Since Tim Tebow joined the Jockey team, not only is he our coolest quarterback, but he also wears our coolest collection – Jockey staycool.
We bet you're wondering, "Does Jockey staycool actually work?" Two words: Tebow Time. Admit, you had no idea underwear was the secret to Tim Tebow's success. He also proved Jockey staycool is perfect in the winter, too. That's right, it's called skin temperature regulation designed to help keep you cool (and sweat free) under all your winter layers. Sounds a little like Tebow's playoff performance against Pittsburgh, huh? See, we told you, it's all in the underwear.
'Till next Tebow Time, we want to know what your favorite Tim Tebow memory was from this season? Don't forget to check out our special surprise for Tebow's great season here ——–> www.jockey.com/tebow.
Staycool, everyone.

This page will help you find genes that evolved from your favorite gene (YFG). Genes that are in different species but evolved from one anothear are called orthologs. You can also search for your favorite protein (YFP).
Go to NCBI at this URL www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and enter YFG or YFP (e.g. SERCA2).
You will get a large result page
Click on any of these links, but good starting places are: Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, HomoloGene, and UniGene. If you know which ones you like the most, you can search just one of these databases by changing the search field from Entrez to the database you prefer. Recently, I have become fond of Gene and Unigene, but you may have better luck with others, depending on your goals.
ENSEMBL (with no "e") www.ensembl.org
Type in YFP or YFG and click on Lookup button.
You will get a list of hits for many species. Click on the Ensembl Gene identifier as shown.
You will find a lot of good information on the resulting page.
SwissProt http://us.expasy.org/sprot/
SwissProt is for proteins only, but it is very complete. Enter YFP in the space and click on Go.
GeneCards genome-www.stanford.edu/genecards/index.shtml
Enter YFG name and hit the "Go" button.
You will see a list of Gene Card names. Click on the one you wanted.
Again, you will have a lot of good information from which to choose.
GeneCards is mirrored all over the world so if one site is down or busy, try another.
HGNC http://www.genenames.org/
HUGO Nomenclature is an easy site to navigate and links you to many other good databases, including ways to view sequences in a dynamic and visually beneficial way.
Enter YFG or YFP and click on the "Quick Gene Search" button.
Click on YFG's approved gene symbol and you will have nice options.
CLUSTALw http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/clustalw2/index.html
This web site allows you to produce phylogenetic trees based on aligned sequences. First, you need some amino acid sequences for your orthologs in FASTA format. FASTA format looks like this:
Notice the sequence names are different from each other and there
are no spaces or line breaks between the sequences. Click here to see a sample
of real sequences. Change the Output Format to phylip. Paste your FASTA
sequences into the white blank form.
You will get a big results page similar to this one:
Click on the "View Guide Tree" button near the top. Then click on the button for that says "Show as Phylogram Tree". You will get a picture like the one below to help you see which sequences are more closely related:

The Acura ZDX was introduced in the 2010 model year and is derived from the Acura MDX. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Honda as part of frontal crash test verification. The ZDX was discontinued after the 2013 model year.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

NEA's Japan Earthquake Solidarity Fund
Urgent Appeal: NEA's Japan Earthquake Solidarity Fund
On March 11, Japan was hit with one of the strongest earthquakes in recorded history, soon followed by a massive tsunami. As all of us have seen in the news, the death and destruction have been enormous. During this time of crisis, NEA is working with Education International (EI) to establish a Solidarity Fund that will assist our colleagues at the Japan Teachers Union (JTU).
EI reports that the prefectures of Miyagi, Iwate, and Fukushima have suffered great damage. In addition to the immediate humanitarian needs around shelter and medical care, there will be longer-term needs around rebuilding communities and schools.
NEA is participating in the EI Solidarity Fund, which support education union members who are negatively impacted by natural and man-made disasters.
To donate, checks should be made out to the National Education Association, with "Japan Earthquake Solidarity Fund" in the memo line.
Checks can be mailed to:
Japan Earthquake Solidarity Fund
National Education Association,
1201 16th Street NW
Suite 614
Washington DC 20036
All donations will be directed to EI to provide assistance in Japan. Thank you for your generosity and good will.

By Emily Anderson
One in a series
BARCELONA, Spain — After flying across the world to Australia for World Youth Day 2008, a little six-and-a-half-hour flight followed up by another two-hour plane ride is nothing. Still after traveling for almost 18 hours patience wears so thin!
World Youth Day is all about patience, with yourself and one another. I can totally hear the super-patient teen ask me what's next and all I can say is "waiting." See, World Youth Day truly is about waiting: waiting for a whole group to be together; waiting for the next thing we are doing; waiting for our Lord at the overnight vigil.
I once heard a man talk about how he waits for no one. But as Catholics, we are called to wait for him who we seek. We are people that wait and my prayer as always is to be someone that waits well. I want to wait well for what the Lord has in store! Hopefully, in small ways these next two weeks, each of us can truly wait well.
Emily "Em" Anderson, 28, is the director of youth ministry at St. James Catholic Church in Falls Church, Va. She is excited to be traveling with seven teens and two other adults from her ministry. This is her second World Youth Day, having trekked across the world to Sydney with 10 teens for World Youth Day in 2008. She enjoys laughing, singing at the top of her lungs — rather badly — praying liturgy of the hours and planning her next party.

'Swampy' has a playmate
We, the old Homesteaders, took the liberty to name the new little calf in neighbor Scott's pasture "Swampy," because the recent rains have left the pasture grounds soggy in places, namely near the little guy's (or girl's) birth site.
As the cold winds were also blowing, we were concerned about him, but he is doing fine. There is a big shed for shelter, but longhorn cattle don't seem to like a roof over their heads.

Guests attending were Kenneth and Angie Hagan, Millie Brooks and Pat Hamilton. Mike Mulhern introduced Henry and Raynette Sanchez, who joined the club at this meeting.
The pledge to the flag was followed by the meal prayer, given by Brock Fisher. After the meal, Vice President Mulhern welcomed everyone. Everyone introduced themselves to the new members.
A Heartwarming Sign of Spring Along the Lane
As we were driving along our lane last Monday morning, we witnessed a sign of spring that was heartwarming.
A mother longhorn cow had just given birth in neighbor Scott's pasture. She was near the lane fence and had just delivered her baby, a cute little white calf with brown around its face.
She was nuzzling and washing the baby and we stopped the car to watch the homey scene. However, when I got out of the car to take their picture, she stopped washing the baby to keep an eye on me.

March – The Month for WomenMarch 23, 2011 at 08:32 | Posted in Carnival of Genealogy, family history, memories | Leave a comment
Tags: ancestors, Carnival of Genealogy, famiglia, family, family history, Itri, love of family, memories, Women of March, WWII
All of this month most of the genealogy bloggers have been following prompts to write about the women in their lives. March is headlined as 31 days of Women. Due to some circumstances in my offline life I have not stayed on task day by day but today it's the day we write about timelines for one of the women in our lives. Both my mother and mother in love were young women during WWII. Both were raising young children but in decidedly different circumstances.
My own mother faced the anguish of her husband being gone 38 months – much of it overseas. They were able only to communicate infrequently via letters that were always censored by authorities to prevent leaking secrets accidently. My mother had a map that she often would mark as she figured out where my dad was – he was pretty surprised she could figure any of it out considering he wasn't able to give hints. But she would compare news from overseas with tidbits gleaned and her strong faith kept her focused tightly on praying him home!
My father in law was considered too old to serve in WWII but he had served in Africa during his Italian army days so Concetta too felt the pain of a husband gone for long periods of time. During WWII he helped the town's folk figure places to live safely when the bombs from both sides were a constant threat. I have written before how Concetta survived the bombing and total destruction of her home. More than 65% of Itri was obliterated by the bombs before liberation came. Our family was moved to a cave on their property outside town but many families also built Indian style teepees or large lodge huts with a center pole to allow for smoke from the fire to ventilate. She not only grew her own food, she also ground own wheat for flour to bake bread and make her wonderful pasta! She scavenged for wild mushrooms, wild asparagus, and dandelions along with circoria. Her family ate well as she was so wise and attentive.
Yesterday we were supposed to choose women to represent our ancestors in movies. The obvious choice for my mother in love would be Sophia Loren. Sophia is perceived as a "sex-goddess" and a tall elegant woman. Yet as an actress, she is a chameleon who would truly understand the depth of the character and the adversity she faced in WWII with her children. My mother would be aptly portrayed by Diane Keaton. She is a vivacious energetic woman who has played many women similar to my mother. I can see her as the young wife facing working a factory job with a young baby who would later become one of the leaders in her small town as well as an accomplished poetess and homemaker.

Pendant set with pavé diamonds, in pink gold
Created in 1968, Serpent Boheme went through the years and became one of the most iconic collection of the Maison. On its twisted chain, the head of the snake is symbolized by a drop set with diamonds and crowned with gold beads. The honeycomb design allows the light to pass through, giving the stones even more sparkle. In pink gold, this long necklace invokes Boucheron's free spirit.More detail
Frédéric Boucheron is born in 1831 into a family of clothiers. He breaks with family tradition at a young age to open his jewelry shop. Having learnt much about delicacy in materials, he begins to make his gold work as supple as the fabrics and lace of his childhood. Success is immediate and soon the whole of Paris is rushing to the door of his Palais Royal boutique. In 1893, he is the first jeweler to open a boutique Place Vendôme, making this place a showcase of savoir-vivre, savoir-faire and French elegance that has no equal in the world. It is Frédéric Boucheron's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist that also leads him to invent new ways of wearing jewelry. His success spreads abroad and the order books start to include the names of members of Royal families and later of Hollywood's biggest stars.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

This semi-rigid, micro-porous, polyethylene diffuser tubing may be assembled into many configurations using regular PVC fittings and SIL2C clear silicone. This diffuser material produces fine bubbles (the pore size is 20–35 microns, so use a 10-micron air filter) with a pressure loss of about 15" H2O. Can be cleaned with muriatic acid. Very buoyant, so hold-downs or weights are required on this hydrophobic diffuser material. Made in USA.
Note: Diffusers are also known as airstones.

Release Date: 2005 |
Album Rating: 4.5Their best imo
Sounds good to me, I tried them once but I wasn't too interested. I'll look again I guess.
you need to add the album's release date
Album Rating: 4.0forgot to put the release date lol, fixed it. and yea its awesome
This is a nice review, but you should probably say something about the songs themselves, at least mention what the best ones are or something
Album Rating: 4.0for some reason i thought i added what the standout tracks were. what the hell? there not even there. hold on
good good, pos'd
This sounds like a band I might like, which album should I listen to first?
Album Rating: 4.0well their best CD IMO is path of the weakening, but reduced to ashes is great also. Their new CD is extremely technical, its good though. Just start with Path of the Weakening.
Album Rating: 5.0this is back to being my favorite from them at the moment...well tied with Inbreeding the Anthropophagi of course. i hate the remixed version though...which is the one i got when i bought the album
good review and sweet avatar also
Album Rating: 4.0what does the remix sound like? i have the original
Album Rating: 5.0its kinda similar to the production on of what's to come...it ruins a lot of the riffs for me and ditches the popcorn snare, i love the original drum sound
last i checked their myspace had the remixed version of crimson offering on there
Album Rating: 4.0yea dude the popcorn snare is awesome, i love that drum sound, its insane on reduced to ashes.
Album Rating: 4.0yea just listened to remix version and it takes a lot away from the original atmosphere of this album. i just bought this album 2 days ago, I'm guessing I'm gonna get the remix aren't I.
Album Rating: 5.0i assume so...i think theyre also remixing Reduced to Ashes in the same way :[. i think both of the albums have (had...) perfect production so the remixes are a heartbreaker
Album Rating: 4.0Yea I heard the re-mixed version of this, and it sounds good to me, though i like the original production better.
Album Rating: 4.5Original production all the way imo
Album Rating: 4.0pretty much lol
Album Rating: 5.0i hope erik only does one more album of the new sound (owtc) and comes back to what he does best
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah I like both styles but I prefer this.

What green veggies can I eat to avoid gout flares?
Q. What green veggie can I eat to avoid gout flares I like collard green, book choy,, okra,kale etc
A. Foods high in purines are those that may be limited for those who suffer from gout. Fortunately, all fruits and many vegetables are considered low purine foods. Some vegetables contain higher levels, so limit asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, green peas and dried lentils peas and beans to only one serving per day.

Today's podcast focuses on what can go wrong when giving feedback and how to avoid this from happening. When the principles of giving feedback have not been learnt or mastered, conversations can become difficult. This especially can occur if negative feedback is heard as a criticism.
To avoid having a poor experience of either giving or receiving feedback, the important thing is to prepare thoroughly for the meeting. Time spent in preparation is time well spent.
Today's Key Points:
- Remember the purpose for giving feedback. The aim is to facilitate learning by reinforcing good behaviour, and identifying where and how to improve on less optimal performance.
- Master the technique of giving feedback well. Remind yourself of this from Podcast 31.
- Focus on their behaviour and NOT the person. Do not criticise the person to whom you are talking. Help them to work out what it is about their behaviour that needs to change.
- Prepare thoroughly for the feedback session. Thorough preparation will help you to stay calm, focussed and in control of the session, however anxious or difficult the meeting may become.
- Think through how the conversation will flow. What are your opening words? How you get started can make all the difference to the feedback session.
- Anticipate how your feedback might be received. Try and predict the responses to the points you raise, and plan how you would then respond to these various responses.
- Rehearse your session. The more you rehearse, the easier will be the "real thing".
- Critically, rehearse OUT LOUD. Listen to yourself - your tone of voice, inflection in your words, pauses, etc. How you say something is as important as the actual words themselves. By listening to yourself, you can pick up whether the stresses are in the right place, for example.

Interesting story, wish links would open in different window
Such an informative and captivating piece. Like how the captions are written - in a simple, conversational way, inviting uses to explore the topic further. I wish only that the font and photos were a little larger and the links to additional material opened in a different window. When you click, say, on Infographic link on slide number 4, the graphic opens in the same window and when you click the back button on a browser (in my case, Internet Explore) to return to the slideshow, you return to slide number 1 and you need to find the last slide you viewed. Of course, you can right click on the link and choose "open in a new window", but sometimes you forget to do that.
Thank you for your comment
Thank you for your comment Antonina. We have made an adjustment so that the related links will open in a new window. Thanks for your feedback.
reaction to Global Economic Prospects, Vol.4, 2012
Putting growth in percentages and graphs has good visual, if not impressive, impact. Would not growth, if shared equitably, be better than high growth rates with concentration in a select few families which Fortune so love to keep track of? Would not corruption, security,hunger, malnutrition, morbidity, mortality, drop-out rates or ratings side-by-side with the growth rates better present the real situation? I am tempted to say that a development bank is an oxymoron given the type of report it produces for so many years. The 2008 financial crisis suggests how powerful banks are even if they create financial instruments of economic destruction. Not being an economist, I am open to be enlightened on the numbers and figures which do not appear to that significant, or meaningful, in fighting poverty.
Wishing everyone a prosperous 2013 ! https://mobile.twitter.com/AsiaBites/status/281046730097696768
2012 was a tumultious year

Some highlights as Raiders coach Hue Jackson made the rounds with the media at the NFL scouting combine:
— Jackson could not confirm a two-year contract extension as reported by the NFL Network for cornerback Stanford Routt, but said it was his understanding a deal was close. He expressed confidence that Routt could handle the role as the No. 1 cornerback in the event Nnamdi Asomugha does not return.
The reported numbers on Routt are even more stunning than his first- and third-round tender last year _ $20 million guaranteed, $31.5 million total.
Jackson would not rule out Asomugha returning, but conceded it was possible he wouldn't.
— No word yet on the designation of a franchise player, which could go to Zach Miller if the Raiders haven't reached a deal before today's deadline (I believe it's 4 p.m. Eastern. Jackson said the Raiders would "probably" have a franchise player.
UPDATE: The Raiders have reportedly franchised (according to Adam Caplan of FoxSports.com) outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, whose $3.5 million buyback exeeded a 30 percent in terms of a pay raise _ too high for an existing contract. So instead of salary plus the buyback which would have paid Wimbley around $4.1 million, he's due the franchise number of approximately $10.1 million.
Oakland is attempting to reach a longterm deal with Wimbley and franchising him is a way to stop him from hitting the open market in the event of a collective bargaining agreement.— The Raiders have a defensive coordinator.
"Me," Jackson said.
He said the Raiders were still evaluating people outside the organization and the hire could also come within. Chuck Bresnahan is still listed as a "defensive coach" with no specific designation.
Whoever the coordinator is, Jackson said the Raiders would remain primarily a 4-3 team but be multiple in scope, meaning whoever the coordiantor is will come into a situation where scheme and philosophy is pretty much in place.
Jackson said he wasn't sure if there would be a hire to coach quarterbacks, given the amount of time he and offensive coordinator Al Saunders will spend with the position. He said too many voices can sometime dilute a message.
More to come later . . .

Ars Technica has word from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson that Mojang will indeed go to court, if necessary, to battle over Bethesda's legal action over the Scrolls name. "If we're going to court, I will fight this for as long as it takes," he said. "It's a bogus claim, and [Bethesda has] several one-word-named games that share a noun with other games that precede [its] games," noting that RAGE could be viewed as a conflict with Sega's Streets of Rage. He also wryly notes his his recent quirky Q3A challenge to settle this may be ill-advised, as: "If it came to a Quake III tournament, I have a feeling we just might have to change the name," Persson told Wired.com (as Bethesda owns the brand). "In retrospect, Quake III might have been a poor choice."

What's worse than being disconnected while on the road? Paying for the connectivity you need to have. A new device addresses both those woes.
FreedomPop offers various connectivity via Wi-Fi/4G on its various devices — a USB stick, a hot spot and a "rocket sleeve" for an iPod Touch — that can keep you connected away from home (or even at home). Here's the good news: You get half a gigabyte free.
You're probably thinking, "I'll burn through that in a nanosecond and they'll get me on the additional gigabytes I need." Not so much. Each additional gigabyte costs $10.

For example: www.sc2000.org/techpapr/papers/pap.pap214.pdf On the other hand, here's a fellow who got a 4X speedup by going to hybrid: www.nersc.gov/nusers/services/training/classes/NUG/Jun04/NUG2004_yhe_hybrid.ppt My own view is that with a modern cluster with fast processors and with inter-node communications not that much slower than a cache miss to main memory, the unified MPI model makes more sense, but there are many many papers arguing about this topic. -L -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thinking bigger than fixing typos
There are many ways our cataloging systems could better promote quality records and make it more difficult to commit simple errors. I'll mention just two here: spell checking and heading control. We hear frequent complaints about the lack of spell checking in our patron search interfaces, but few talk about this feature of being useful to catalogers. And I'm not talking about a button that looks over a record before saving it—I'm talking about real interactive visual feedback that helps a cataloger fix a typo right when it happens. Think Word with its little red squiggly lines—they show up instantly so all you have to do it hit backspace a few times while you're thinking about this particular field and not miss a beat. If it's not really an error, the feedback is easy to ignore. Word also has a feature whereby it can automatically correct a misspelling as you type based on a preset (and customizable) list of common typos. Features like this require a bit more attention to make sure the change isn't an undesired one, but for most people in most cases it saves a great deal more time than it takes, and the feature can be tuned to an individual's preferences. Checking the entire record after the fact requires a higher cognitive load—turning back to a title page, remembering what you were thinking when you formulated the value for that field, checking an authority file a second time, etc., and is less helpful than real-time feedback.
Heading control is the second area in which our systems could make it easy to do the right thing. Easier movement between a bibliographic record and an authority file, widgets that fill in headings based on a single click or keystroke, and automatic checks that ensure a controlled value matches an authority reference before leaving the field can all help the cataloger avoid simple typographical errors in the first place and make the sort of treasure hunt common typo lists provide less necessary.
Consider also the enormous duplication of effort we're expending by hundreds of individuals at hundreds of institutions all looking up the same typos in our catalogs and all editing our own copies of the same records. This local editing makes an already tough version control problem worse by increasing the differences between hundreds of copies of a record for the same thing. We have way more cataloging work to do than we can possibly afford, and duplication of effort like this is an embarrassingly poor use of our limited resources. The single most effective step we can take to improve record quality is to stop this insanity we call "cooperative cataloging" today and adopt a streamlined model whereby all benefit instantaneously and automatically from one person fixing a simple typo.

Jenn, great idea, but I'd suggest erring on the side of caution -- one persons "typo" is another person's vital metadata, especially in regard to finding varient editions or oddball publications. I've seen some pretty disasterous results of uninformed "corrections" and the havoc they can bring upon special collections cataloging in particular!
- Dorothea said...
Yes, yes, yes! It's cheaper to prevent an error than fix one. Always.
- Jenn Riley said...
Excellent point, Merrilee. More proof our systems can't be "one size fits all." They need to be flexible to handle all sorts of diverse situations. I hate to keep promoting Microsoft, but there are many advanced features of Word that does things like this that we could look to for inspiration. Word's correction capabilities work pretty darn well for me, although I agree cataloging records are not texts and have different needs for suggestion capabilities.
Our OPAC search mechanisms in the future ought to be able to cope with these potential typos as well ("did you mean..." types of functions that we see in Google and Amazon), meaning that we can worry less about losing valuable data through typos.
- Freudian Slip said...
It is totally cheaper to prevent an error then fix one, but try convincing the budgetmakers that. Who wants to spend more money for prevention?

Each week we'll be providing you with insight into the best (and worst) baseball players to play in your fantasy baseball league.
One week of the MLB season is in the books and we've got some key players to put in rotation. Whose stock is rising with the early action?
5 Up
1. Hector Santiago, RP, CWS: The closer mystery in Chicago was unsolved until the ninth inning in Texas Saturday night, when Santiago rose to warm up after Alex Rios broke a tie game with a home run to center field. Santiago went on to record the save with a clean inning. He didn't have great minor league numbers (ERAs ranging from 3.56 to 4.15), but most of his action came as a starter. Life is easier as a reliever, and the White Sox believe his left-handed screwball can be a big weapon in the majors.
2. Nick Markakis, OF, BAL: Markakis homered in the Orioles' first game, and it was a home run to left field. This is important because the last time the left-handed Markakis hit a home run to left field was 2008. He hit 20 home runs that year compared to just 18, 12 and 15 the last three years. He followed up that Opening Day homer with a second one in the Orioles' second game to boot. At 28, Markakis is in his prime, and the signs for a power surge are there early.
3. Chad Billingsley, SP, LAD: Yes, it was the Padres. Yes, he did it twice in 2011, a year he put up just a 4.21 ERA and 11 wins. But it was tough not to be impressed by Billingsley's double-digit strikeout performance against the Padres Friday night, in which he struck out 11 over 8.1 innings of work. Billingsley is just one year removed from a 3.57 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 171 strikeout season. Given the forgiving park he works in and his age (just 27), it wouldn't be surprising if Billingsley rebounded in 2012.
4. Yoenis Cespedes, OF, OAK: Seriously, just watch this home run he hit Friday against Seattle. Then he hit yet another home run Saturday to raise his early-season total to three. Will he provide anything else? He's striking out about half the time, and if that holds, he won't hit for any sort of average. But power is power, and Cespedes looks like he's capable of a 30-homer season. Limiting him to 30 might even be overly cautious.
5. Aaron Hill, 2B, ARI: Hill socked two home runs off San Francisco starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner in the latter's first start of the season Saturday, equaling his total from 33 games as a Diamondback last season. But Hill has showcased great power before, as he hit 62 home runs combined between 2009 and 2010. Arizona is a fine park to hit in, so Hill could be an option for power speculation at the keystone.
Meanwhile, it's taken just a few games for these players' stocks to start trending downward.
5 Down
1. Brent Morel, 3B, CWS: To be fair, he already was likely only owned in deeper or AL-only leagues, but we live to serve all fantasy players. Whatever value Morel held in these leagues is likely gone now – after starting 0-for-8 in his first two games, the White Sox handed a third base start to utility man Eduardo Escobar, who rewarded the Sox with a triple in his first game. Don't be surprised if Morel's playing time takes a serious dive as a result.
2. Greg Holland, RP, KC: Holland is a very talented reliever and it wouldn't shock us to see him in the closer's role at some point this season, but for now, the job is Jonathan Broxton's. In many cases, he's worth holding on to for the strikeouts, ERA and WHIP, but there probably won't be consistent saves here until the save deadline at the earliest.
3. Phil Hughes, SP, NYY: Hughes only gave up two runs in his first start, but he also needed 99 pitches to get through just 4.2 innings. Every rough start for Hughes could be costly, as the Yankees will have Andy Pettitte to add to the rotation soon and could add Michael Pineda at some point as well. Will he be able to beat out Ivan Nova and Freddy Garcia for that final spot, or will he be sent to the bullpen?
4. Francisco Liriano, SP, MIN: It all started so well for Liriano, who struck out the side in his first inning of action in 2012. But then it all went downhill, as Liriano gave up five runs on eight hits over the next three innings and didn't even make it to the fifth. Some experts are high on Liriano making a comeback this year, but he already had the low quality of Minnesota's hitting and defense working against him; throw in a horrible first start and it's obvious why teams are dropping him by the hundreds.
5. Yonder Alonso, 1B, SDP: Alonso's first three games at PETCO Park? 2-for-12 without an extra base hit. San Diego is an exceptionally difficult place to hit, and it's doubly so for left-handed batters. It took a special one with insane opposite-field power to do so in Adrian Gonzalez; no other left-hander has really sustained success in San Diego since the Padres' move. Even if Alonso's power develops, it probably won't play well as a Padre.

Triglycerides are fats from the food we eat that are carried in the blood. Most of the fats we eat, including butter, margarines and oils, are in triglyceride form. Excess calories, alcohol or sugar in the body turn into triglycerides and are stored in fat cells throughout the body.

Triglycerides and cholesterol are both fatty substances known as lipids. But, triglycerides are fats; cholesterol is not. Cholesterol is a waxy, odorless substance made by the liver that is an essential part of cell walls and nerves.
Cholesterol also plays an important role in body functions such as digestion and hormone production. In addition to being produced by the body, cholesterol comes from animal foods that we eat.
Pure cholesterol cannot mix with or dissolve in the blood. Therefore, the liver packages cholesterol with triglycerides and proteins in carriers called lipoproteins. The lipoproteins move this fatty mixture to areas throughout the body. An elevated triglyceride level increases the risk of heart disease.
Triglyceride levels are usually measured whenever you have a blood test called a Lipid Profile. Everyone over age 20 should have their cholesterol checked at least every 5 years. Your healthcare provider can check your cholesterol and triglyceride levels by taking a sample of blood, which is sent to a lab for testing. The Lipid Profile shows your triglyceride level, total cholesterol level, HDL cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein or "good" cholesterol) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein or "bad" cholesterol) levels.
Blood triglyceride levels are normally high after you eat. Therefore, you should wait 12 hours after eating or drinking before you have your triglyceride levels tested. Many other factors affect blood triglyceride levels, including alcohol, diet, menstrual cycle, time of day and recent exercise.
The national guidelines for fasting triglyceride levels in healthy adults are:
Levels higher than 200 mg/dL are associated with an increase in the risk of heart attack, stroke and death.
If your triglyceride levels are high, the next step is for your doctor to check for potential causes. Certain medications, thyroid function issues, poorly controlled diabetes, liver or kidney disease can all cause triglyceride levels to be higher than normal.
The first steps in treatment to lower triglyceride levels include eating a healthy diet, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, and aerobic exercise on a regular basis.

All throughout that Saturday morning, from the minute I woke up to the minute I stepped out of my home, I thought about how many moments Pavel Bure has given to this city. Many are caught on camera and probably uploaded on youtube, but there were some that I simply remember sitting in my seat (most likely on the edge) at the Pacific Coliseum watching him live. As I was riding on the Skytrain downtown to a short work meeting prior to the game, I thought to myself, "You're one lucky lady." I grew up in an era of Bure Canucks hockey. A player that was not only revered here in Vancouver, but all over the league and eventually found himself in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Here are my Top 10 Moments of No. 10, Pavel Bure:
- First ever game as a Vancouver Canuck versus the Winnipeg Jets: Pavel didn't score that night, but he must have had five rushes or so up and down the ice. I skipped school that day, drove to TicketMaster at Pacific Coliseum and lined up for stand room only tickets so I could watch Bure that night. I also believe I skipped a volleyball practice, which resulted in my coach benching me for it. It was worth it. I saw exactly why everyone was such a buzz over this guy. He undressed defensemen, he shimmy'ed around opponents and skated faster, better and in more control than anyone I have ever seen before who played in the NHL.
- First NHL Goal: I don't even want to talk about it, how about we just look at it.
- Elbow on Shane Churla: Not one of his classier moments, but it was memorable for sure. Bure was no pushover and although I do not condone it, the message was simple. He wasn't one to be messed around with, he will push back.
- Stick to Skate to Stick goal: The kind of goals you mess around with in practice. Bure added a little Pele to this goal and to top it off, it was short-handed.
- Speed: There has never been anyone I have ever seen live that carried that much speed and so much control over the puck. What would spin most players out of control and hurling into the boards, made Bure a HOF'er.
- 1994 Double OT Goal vs Calgary: The pass from Jeff Brown, the rest…
- Goal vs The Devils: Dipsy doodle and doh see doh. Bure danced around everyone in the Devils' zone and scored.
- End to End: There isn't a Canuck player past or present that can do an end to end rush like Pavel, no one.
- Calling His Shot: Pavel Bure gets a penalty shot on Damian Rhodes but he tells Koharski he's going 5-hole and gets it. Babe Ruth, what?
- Finally, Rocket to the Rafters: I've been waiting for this moment for so many years. It was about time.
The man's career was one big highlight reel. I am one of the fortunate ones to see most of it from beginning to end. He will always have his place here now in Vancouver, for that I am thankful. What stuck out the most that night, was when fans, even the younger ones that didn't get to see him play, saw the videos of Bure highlights, the reactions of "oohs" and "ahhs" were almost like he was performing them live. He was that good.
Thanks Pavel and congratulations.

Roxanne Garcia France, director of curriculum and instruction for the North Bellmore district, said that reward schools do not have significant gaps in student achievement among groups such as special-education or impoverished students. The Department of Education's selection criteria are yet to be released, France said, but it is known that state officials examined student performance on the standardized English Language Arts and math exams as well as other assessments over two years.
France said that students at all five North Bellmore schools have done well on the state assessments, and students' scores at Saw Mill and Dinkelmeyer were comparable to the three Reward Schools. Goldstein said he hopes the other two buildings will be named to the state list in the future.
"We don't know when that will take place, but we're hopeful that our other schools will receive the recognition they so deserve," he said. "It would have been great if all five schools were selected. All five schools certainly deserve it."
Marilyn Hirschfield, principal of Newbridge Road, said she was excited that her school was recognized. The entire district should be proud, she added, because programs are similar in each building.
"There is a lot of work everyone does in North Bellmore to provide students with services that help them learn and grow," Hirschfield said. "This is a reflection of the fact that North Bellmore teachers and administrators are dedicated to the community and its students."
According to Goldstein, Reward Schools may be able to compete for additional grant money, but he is waiting for officials to confirm details about the amount available and the application process. Park Avenue Principal Eileen Speidel said it is her understanding that reward schools will be able to compete for a share of about $150,000 over a two-year period.
Dr. Henry Kiernan, superintendent of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, was unavailable to comment on Kennedy's and Calhoun's Reward School status.

Paul to 'find a place' for illegal immigrants
Sen. Rand Paul continued his political makeover Tuesday, endorsing what amounts to a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the United States as he transforms from 2010 tea party insurgent to potential 2016 presidential nominee.
"If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you," Paul said in an address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, pledging to be "part of the solution" on immigration reform.
Story Continued Below
The Kentucky Republican didn't use the word "citizenship" in his speech. Instead, he argued for a solution besides "amnesty or deportation" and said conservative Republicans should join the immigration reform debate by "acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants."
In a confernce call that Paul held with reporters later in the day, it became clear that differences between the senator's plan and the conventional definition of a path to citizenship were few, if they existed at all.
Paul explained that he would give undocumented immigrants in the United States work visas and allow them to apply for green cards, which sets them on a path to citizenship. The workers would be placed in the same line as immigrants who were applying for a green card from their home country. The outlines of a bipartisan plan pushed by the Senate's Gang of Eight works similarly, where undocumented immigrants would be able to come forward for a work visa after they pay a fine and back taxes.
"What I'm saying is you don't have to go back home, but we also don't want to put you in front of the line," Paul said on the call.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
Giving undocumented immigrants either legal status, with rights short of those held by citizens, or citizenship itself would allow them to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. But Democrats have insisted on full citizenship, arguing anything else would amount to creating a permanent underclass without voting rights.
The citizenship vs. legal status morass ensnared former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush earlier this month after he released a book arguing only for legal status. Democrats hammered him, and Bush eventually said he could back a pathway, provided it didn't incentivize future illegal immigration.
The endorsement of any sort of legal status for illegal immigrants amounts to a remarkable reversal for Paul, who in his first month in the Senate proposed a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship. (On Tuesday's conference call, Paul said a secure border would make the amendment unnecessary.) While running against an establishment pick in Kentucky's GOP primary in 2010, he proposed building an underground electric fence along the length of the entire border.
But in recent months, Paul has said his position was softening. In a February Washington Times op-ed, Paul laid out an extensive plan.
A stand-out difference between Paul's plan and the Gang of Eight's framework is how it would guarantee border security. The bipartisan plan uses a commission of border state leaders to evaluate security, although the final details are unclear. Paul's plan would require security be certified by the Border Patrol and an Inspector General, and then voted on by Congress "each year for several years."
