Milford's Paul Seaver loses battle with ALS at 53
Paul "Wally'' Seaver's love of basketball and commitment to his players was never more evident than in his final season on the bench at Wellesley High, coaching the junior varsity boys' program.
Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, during that 2010-2011 campaign, the lifelong Milford resident summoned the strength and the will to coach every game.
His last game as coach was against the Natick JV squad, two years ago this week. The 53-year-old lost his battle with ALS on Tuesday morning, and his funeral services were Friday.
"We knew before the season ended that it was a struggle for him,'' recalled Wellesley High athletic director John Brown. "He had voice issues that made it hard at times to be clearly understood.
"But he kept coaching and even helped out the varsity during the playoffs after his season was over, and that's what Paul was all about. He was an inspiration to everyone at Wellesley High. It was never about him, but about giving back.''
Seaver began his coaching career in 1983, as a junior varsity assistant to close friend Steve Manguso at Milford High.
Recalling Seaver's final coaching role, Manguso said, "He had been away from the high school game for a few years, and was so excited and happy to get the opportunity at Wellesley and to coach again.
"Paul's influence on the youth in our community was his legacy and his devotion to his family, and their devotion to him was unwavering.''
During Milford's home game Tuesday against Mansfield High, the spectators chanted "We Love Wally.''
A 1977 graduate of Milford High, where he played basketball and football, Seaver was the varsity boys' coach at Franklin High from 1989 to 1999. His 1998-99 squad won the Hockomock League title.
For the next eight years, he coached his two sons, Paul and Daniel, through the Milford Youth Basketball program. He was president of the Milford Amateur Basketball Association from 2001 to 2008, and was chairman of the Milford Youth Center Commission.
Seaver was recognized by the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association as Assistant Coach of the Year in 2011. In October of that year, the Milford Youth Center's facility was renamed the Paul F. Seaver Gymnasium.
But the greatest and most touching tribute was paid to him by his older son, Paul M.
A former basketball captain at Milford High, Paul Seaver organized an invitational 16-team high school tournament last July at Milford High and Milford (East) Middle School in his father's honor. Each squad paid a $275 entry fee, with the proceeds added to ticket sales and corporate and individual donations and presented to Compassionate Care ALS, a Falmouth-based organization that aided the Seaver family and supports ALS research. ALS is a progressive neurological illness that affects approximately 30,000 Americans at any given time. There is no known cure.
Paul Seaver surprised his dad with the news of the upcoming tournament on Father's Day last June.
"He fought valiantly, but ALS breaks you down. During his ordeal he always put family first. He was able to attend my brother's high school graduation last year,'' said Paul, the freshman basketball coach at Canton High. "And when we played at Franklin High on Jan. 15 — where my dad coached — he was at that game for me.''
Other ALS fund-raisers in Seaver's honor included a volleyball tournament organized by his other son, Daniel, a basketball game between the Wellesley and Milford varsity teams, and a charity basketball event at Wellesley High.
Caroline Harrington, a senior captain on last season's Wellesley High girls' team, wrote a poem honoring Seaver in the fall of 2011. It was published by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.
"Though my time knowing him was short, I will never forget him,'' Harrington wrote in a preface to her poem. "He was a part of my basketball family. Sadly, our charity basketball game probably will not result in a cure for this horrible disease.
"However, our entire basketball community — from elementary school CYO kids to varsity boys' and girls' programs — was united for the love of the game, and for the sake of a great man.''
Harrington, a freshman at Hamilton College, said Wednesday that she shared an e-mail correspondence with Seaver, and had a chance to talk with him at a Milford-Wellesley basketball game last season.
Seaver asked that her poem be recited at his funeral Friday.

Obama: Markets Should Be Concerned About Shutdown
Unlike the summer 2011 debt-ceiling debacle, President Obama and his administration appear to be pushing for market unrest, with the hope that it will spur Republicans to end the current budget standoff. WSJ's Sudeep Reddy reports. Photo: AP

The Affordable Care Act's insurance coverage provisions will be less costly to the federal budget than first projected and premiums for a key health plan are expected to rise by about 6 percent a year, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday.
Updating estimates issued in February, the non-partisan CBO said the cost to the federal government for the insurance provisions is $5 billion less than thought earlier this year. From 2015 through 2024, the provisions should prove $104 billion less costly. That's 7 percent below earlier projections.

The falling cost projections from the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation of Congress are due in part to further analysis of retirement trends and of the health plans being offered on the public exchanges created to help individuals buy health insurance.
The new projections and other provisions of the ACA on net "are expected to reduce budget deficits," the CBO said, repeating an earlier prediction that the act, shorthanded as Obamacare, will result in deficits being lower than they would be in the absence of the landmark legislation.
Deeper in the CBO's report, however, are details that show why the ACA is such a hard sell to the public.
The CBO now thinks that the benchmark premium, derived from the second lowest-cost plan offered on health exchanges, will rise slightly next year and then by about 6 percent a year from 2016 to 2024. Opponents of the ACA are sure to call that a rising cost for consumers, and remind of President Barack Obama's pledge that the ACA would result in lower premiums for most Americans.
Backers of the ACA are sure to respond that the CBO also said that the projected rise in the benchmark premium is actually 15 percent below a comparable estimate made by the agency in November 2009.
Therein rests much of the difficulty in assessing the ACA's effectiveness. Many of its benefits involve tradeoff costs.
For example, the CBO expects that as more Americans purchase their own insurance instead of getting it through their employer, a good thing for the ACA, they'll have more of their income treated as taxable wages. Workers with employer plans pay their portion in pre-tax dollars, so the shift to health plans purchased on exchanges will actually grow federal tax receipts and the higher wages will also mean more salary subject to Social Security contributions.
Similarly, the CBO's latest economic projections envision slower growth in wages and salaries over much of the next decade. That is expected to change the projected distribution of income, making more people eligible for Medicare instead of subsidies from the government to buy insurance on the health exchanges.
The CBO also offered a sobering reminder about one of the main goals of the ACA, reducing the number of the uninsured in America.
Monday's report said 31 million people, or one out of every nine non-elderly U.S. residents, would still be without health insurance in 2024.
About 45 percent of them, or 14 million, would chose not get insurance through an employer or an exchange. About 30 percent, or more than 9 million people, are undocumented immigrants who don't qualify for subsidies or most state and federal health benefits. Roughly 20 percent of the 31 million will be eligible for Medicaid but choose not to enroll and another 5 percent live in states that chose not to expand Medicaid coverage.

13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" 15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."—Luke 2:13-15
Although it pains me, I have to admit to a time when I was pretty negative about Christmas. Yep, I have been, in the past, quite a Scrooge—bah humbug and all the rest of it. There are some stories about silly things that I've done. I never really got into the Christmas thing. It just seemed to me like Christmas always involved spending money you didn't have, to buy presents people didn't need, and then take them over to their house even though you really didn't—well, maybe you liked them, some of them—but it just seemed like the whole season was kind of a hassle.
And then the worst part came as I tried to do ministry during December. I wanted to get people to focus on the Lord and the meaning of Christmas, but there was always this big dude with that red suit on, kind of blocking everybody's view of the manger. That gets on my nerves. So I thought I would try to get people to be committed to Christ in the middle of all the distractions! You might have a similar story in December, where you are overfed, overtired, and overbooked. Maybe you felt like saying, "Man! Leave me alone! I'm just celebrating Christmas!"
Maybe you can relate, but know what? I was so wrong about all of that. Wrong! I finally began to see in the last few years just what an amazing and wonderful season Christmas is. Aren't you glad a pastor can learn and change? I mean who wants to go to a church with the same old guy up there every week? I'm growing and changing too, right along with you.
So let me be the first to wish you Merry Christmas. It's early in December and we've got our Christmas decorations out. We are trusting that God's going to do some cool things in us during all of the events leading up to celebrating Christ's first arrival. I trust you will join me in relishing God's amazing love for us! Let's join the shepherds on their way to Bethlehem!
Prayer – Heavenly Father, You planned every detail for the arrival of Your only Son among us. How could we not enjoy and give ourselves to remembering and rejoicing in our Savior who came as a baby to live a model life and then to die a unique death in our place so that we might receive the greatest possible gift of Christmas—eternal life. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' wonderful name, Amen.

Peptic ulcer
|Peptic ulceration
|Classification and external resources
Deep gastric ulcer
|med/1776 ped/2341
A peptic ulcer is a distinct breach in the mucosal lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer),[1] a result of caustic effects of acid and pepsin in the lumen. Histologically, peptic ulcer is identified as necrosis of the mucosa which produces lesions equal to or greater than 0.5 cm (1/5"). It is the most common ulcer of an area of the gastrointestinal tract that is usually acidic and thus extremely painful. Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common causes of peptic ulcer. Ulcers can also be caused or worsened by drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs.[2]
Four times as many peptic ulcers arise in the duodenum—the first part of the small intestine, just beyond the stomach—as in the stomach itself. About 4% of gastric ulcers are caused by a malignant tumor, so multiple biopsies are needed to exclude cancer. Duodenal ulcers are generally benign.
The appearance of an ulcer can be either the classic erosive, concave, crater-like ulcer (the image held by most patients) or convex, perhaps resembling a colonic polyp. As a generalization, the erosive concave type tend to be located in the stomach proper while the convex type tend to be found in the pylorus/duodenum.
These convex growths have an extensive variety of shapes and forms, but in all forms the ulcer projects above the level of the surrounding tissue. For extended periods these growths characteristically lack any surface breaks in the mucosic tissue and also initially lack any visual differentiation from the surrounding tissue even in larger sizes.
The surface integrity for this type ulcer enables growth over extended periods without the pain associated with crater ulcers. This site reference,[3] contains a series of convex ulcer photos. The images display a range from normal appearing growths to quite abnormal appearances. But notably, until the advanced growth stages non-crater, convex ulcers lack any surface cratering or breaks in the mucosa.
While these convex growths resemble a tumour to some extent, they are actually abnormal growths of the gastric tissue, and involve the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa layers, not a pathogenic organism. However, these growths, like crater style ulcers, may metamorph into pathogenic growths.

By region/area
- Duodenum (called duodenal ulcer)
- Esophagus (called esophageal ulcer)
- Stomach (called gastric ulcer)
- Meckel's diverticulum (called Meckel's diverticulum ulcer; is very tender with palpation)
Modified Johnson classification of peptic ulcers
- Type I: Ulcer along the body of the stomach, most often along the lesser curve at incisura angularis along the locus minoris resistantiae. Not associated with acid hypersecretion.
- Type II: Ulcer in the body in combination with duodenal ulcers. Associated with acid oversecretion.
- Type III: In the pyloric channel within 3 cm of pylorus. Associated with acid oversecretion.
- Type IV: Proximal gastroesophageal ulcer
- Type V: Can occur throughout the stomach. Associated with chronic use of NSAIDs (such as aspirin).
Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of a peptic ulcer can be
- abdominal pain, classically epigastric strongly correlated to mealtimes. In case of duodenal ulcers the pain appears about three hours after taking a meal;
- bloating and abdominal fullness;
- waterbrash (rush of saliva after an episode of regurgitation to dilute the acid in esophagus - although this is more associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease);
- nausea, and copious vomiting;
- loss of appetite and weight loss;
- hematemesis (vomiting of blood); this can occur due to bleeding directly from a gastric ulcer, or from damage to the esophagus from severe/continuing vomiting.
- melena (tarry, foul-smelling feces due to presence of oxidized iron from hemoglobin);
- rarely, an ulcer can lead to a gastric or duodenal perforation, which leads to acute peritonitis, extreme, stabbing pain,[4] and requires immediate surgery.
A history of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and use of certain forms of medication can raise the suspicion for peptic ulcer. Medicines associated with peptic ulcer include NSAIDs (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) that inhibit cyclooxygenase, and most glucocorticoids (e.g. dexamethasone and prednisolone).
In patients over 45 with more than two weeks of the above symptoms, the odds for peptic ulceration are high enough to warrant rapid investigation by esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
The timing of the symptoms in relation to the meal may differentiate between gastric and duodenal ulcers: A gastric ulcer would give epigastric pain during the meal, as gastric acid production is increased as food enters the stomach. Symptoms of duodenal ulcers would initially be relieved by a meal, as the pyloric sphincter closes to concentrate the stomach contents, therefore acid is not reaching the duodenum. Duodenal ulcer pain would manifest mostly 2–3 hours after the meal, when the stomach begins to release digested food and acid into the duodenum.
Also, the symptoms of peptic ulcers may vary with the location of the ulcer and the patient's age. Furthermore, typical ulcers tend to heal and recur and as a result the pain may occur for few days and weeks and then wane or disappear.[5] Usually, children and the elderly do not develop any symptoms unless complications have arisen.
Burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area lasting between 30 minutes and 3 hours commonly accompanies ulcers. This pain can be misinterpreted as hunger, indigestion or heartburn. Pain is usually caused by the ulcer but it may be aggravated by the stomach acid when it comes into contact with the ulcerated area. The pain caused by peptic ulcers can be felt anywhere from the navel up to the sternum, it may last from few minutes to several hours and it may be worse when the stomach is empty. Also, sometimes the pain may flare at night and it can commonly be temporarily relieved by eating foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking anti-acid medication.[6] However, peptic ulcer disease symptoms may be different for every sufferer.[7]
- Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common complication. Sudden large bleeding can be life-threatening.[8] It occurs when the ulcer erodes one of the blood vessels, such as the gastroduodenal artery.
- Perforation (a hole in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract) often leads to catastrophic consequences if left untreated. Erosion of the gastro-intestinal wall by the ulcer leads to spillage of stomach or intestinal content into the abdominal cavity. Perforation at the anterior surface of the stomach leads to acute peritonitis, initially chemical and later bacterial peritonitis. The first sign is often sudden intense abdominal pain; an example is Valentino's syndrome, named after the silent-film actor who experienced this pain before his death. Posterior wall perforation leads to bleeding due to involvement of gastroduodenal artery that lies posterior to the 1st part of duodenum.
- pancreas.[5]
- Gastric outlet obstruction is the narrowing of pyloric canal by scarring and swelling of gastric antrum and duodenum due to peptic ulcers. Patient often presents with severe vomiting without bile.
- Cancer is included in the differential diagnosis (elucidated by biopsy), Helicobacter pylori as the etiological factor making it 3 to 6 times more likely to develop stomach cancer from the ulcer.[5]
A major causative factor (60% of gastric and up to 90% of duodenal ulcers) is chronic inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori that colonizes the antral mucosa.[9] The immune system is unable to clear the infection, despite the appearance of antibodies. Thus, the bacterium can cause a chronic active gastritis (type B gastritis). Gastrin stimulates the production of gastric acid by parietal cells. In H. pylori colonization responses to increased gastrin, the increase in acid can contribute to the erosion of the mucosa and therefore ulcer formation. Studies in the varying occurrence of ulcers in third world countries despite high H. pylori colonization rates suggest dietary factors play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.[10]
Another major cause is the use of NSAIDs. The gastric mucosa protects itself from gastric acid with a layer of mucus, the secretion of which is stimulated by certain prostaglandins. NSAIDs block the function of cyclooxygenase 1 (cox-1), which is essential for the production of these prostaglandins. COX-2 selective anti-inflammatories (such as celecoxib or the since withdrawn rofecoxib) preferentially inhibit cox-2, which is less essential in the gastric mucosa, and roughly halve the risk of NSAID-related gastric ulceration.
The incidence of duodenal ulcers has dropped significantly during the last 30 years, while the incidence of gastric ulcers has shown a small increase, mainly caused by the widespread use of NSAIDs. The drop in incidence is considered to be a cohort-phenomenon independent of the progress in treatment of the disease. The cohort-phenomenon is probably explained by improved standards of living which has lowered the incidence of H. pylori infections.[11]
Although some studies have found correlations between smoking and ulcer formation,[12] others have been more specific in exploring the risks involved and have found that smoking by itself may not be much of a risk factor unless associated with H. pylori infection.[13][14][15][nb 1] Some suggested risk factors such as diet, and spice consumption, were hypothesized as ulcerogens (helping cause ulcers) until late in the 20th century, but have been shown to be of relatively minor importance in the development of peptic ulcers.[16] Caffeine and coffee, also commonly thought to cause or exacerbate ulcers, have not been found to affect ulcers to any significant extent.[17][18] Similarly, while studies have found that alcohol consumption increases risk when associated with H. pylori infection, it does not seem to independently increase risk, and even when coupled with H. pylori infection, the increase is modest in comparison to the primary risk factor.[13][19][nb 2]
Gastrinomas (Zollinger Ellison syndrome), rare gastrin-secreting tumors, also cause multiple and difficult-to-heal ulcers.
The diagnosis is mainly established based on the characteristic symptoms. Stomach pain is usually the first signal of a peptic ulcer. In some cases, doctors may treat ulcers without diagnosing them with specific tests and observe whether the symptoms resolve, thus indicating that their primary diagnosis was accurate.
Confirmation of the diagnosis is made with the help of tests such as endoscopies or barium contrast x-rays. The tests are typically ordered if the symptoms do not resolve after a few weeks of treatment, or when they first appear in a person who is over age 45 or who has other symptoms such as weight loss, because stomach cancer can cause similar symptoms. Also, when severe ulcers resist treatment, particularly if a person has several ulcers or the ulcers are in unusual places, a doctor may suspect an underlying condition that causes the stomach to overproduce acid.[5]
An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), a form of endoscopy, also known as a gastroscopy, is carried out on patients in whom a peptic ulcer is suspected. By direct visual identification, the location and severity of an ulcer can be described. Moreover, if no ulcer is present, EGD can often provide an alternative diagnosis.
One of the reasons that blood tests are not reliable for accurate peptic ulcer diagnosis on their own is their inability to differentiate between past exposure to the bacteria and current infection. Additionally, a false negative result is possible with a blood test if the patient has recently been taking certain drugs, such as antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors.[20]
The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori can be made by:
- Urea breath test (noninvasive and does not require EGD);
- Direct culture from an EGD biopsy specimen; this is difficult to do, and can be expensive. Most labs are not set up to perform H. pylori cultures;
- Direct detection of urease activity in a biopsy specimen by rapid urease test;
- Measurement of antibody levels in blood (does not require EGD). It is still somewhat controversial whether a positive antibody without EGD is enough to warrant eradication therapy;
- Stool antigen test;
- Histological examination and staining of an EGD biopsy.
The breath test uses radioactive carbon atom to detect H. pylori.[21] To perform this exam the patient will be asked to drink a tasteless liquid which contains the carbon as part of the substance that the bacteria breaks down. After an hour, the patient will be asked to blow into a bag that is sealed. If the patient is infected with H. pylori, the breath sample will contain radioactive carbon dioxide. This test provides the advantage of being able to monitor the response to treatment used to kill the bacteria.
The possibility of other causes of ulcers, notably malignancy (gastric cancer) needs to be kept in mind. This is especially true in ulcers of the greater (large) curvature of the stomach; most are also a consequence of chronic H. pylori infection.
If a peptic ulcer perforates, air will leak from the inside of the gastrointestinal tract (which always contains some air) to the peritoneal cavity (which normally never contains air). This leads to "free gas" within the peritoneal cavity. If the patient stands erect, as when having a chest X-ray, the gas will float to a position underneath the diaphragm. Therefore, gas in the peritoneal cavity, shown on an erect chest X-ray or supine lateral abdominal X-ray, is an omen of perforated peptic ulcer disease.
Macroscopic appearance
Gastric ulcers are most often localized on the lesser curvature of the stomach. The ulcer is a round to oval parietal defect ("hole"), 2 to 4 cm diameter, with a smooth base and perpendicular borders. These borders are not elevated or irregular in the acute form of peptic ulcer, regular but with elevated borders and inflammatory surrounding in the chronic form. In the ulcerative form of gastric cancer the borders are irregular. Surrounding mucosa may present radial folds, as a consequence of the parietal scarring.
Microscopic appearance
A gastric peptic ulcer is a mucosal defect which penetrates the muscularis mucosae and lamina propria, produced by acid-pepsin aggression. Ulcer margins are perpendicular and present chronic gastritis. During the active phase, the base of the ulcer shows 4 zones: inflammatory exudate, fibrinoid necrosis, granulation tissue and fibrous tissue. The fibrous base of the ulcer may contain vessels with thickened wall or with thrombosis.[22]
Differential diagnosis
Younger patients with ulcer-like symptoms are often treated with antacids or H2 antagonists before EGD is undertaken.
Patients who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) may also be prescribed a prostaglandin analogue (Misoprostol) in order to help prevent peptic ulcers, which are a side-effect of the NSAIDs.
When H. pylori infection is present, the most effective treatments are combinations of 2 antibiotics (e.g. Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Metronidazole) and 1 proton pump inhibitor (PPI), sometimes together with a bismuth compound. In complicated, treatment-resistant cases, 3 antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin + clarithromycin + metronidazole) may be used together with a PPI and sometimes with bismuth compound. An effective first-line therapy for uncomplicated cases would be Amoxicillin + Metronidazole + Pantoprazole (a PPI). In the absence of H. pylori, long-term higher dose PPIs are often used.
Treatment of H. pylori usually leads to clearing of infection, relief of symptoms and eventual healing of ulcers. Recurrence of infection can occur and retreatment may be required, if necessary with other antibiotics. Since the widespread use of PPI's in the 1990s, surgical procedures (like "highly selective vagotomy") for uncomplicated peptic ulcers became obsolete.
Perforated peptic ulcer is a surgical emergency and requires surgical repair of the perforation. Most bleeding ulcers require endoscopy urgently to stop bleeding with cautery, injection, or clipping.
Ranitidine and famotidine, which are both H2 antagonists, provide relief of peptic ulcers, heartburn, indigestion and excess stomach acid and prevention of these symptoms associated with excessive consumption of food and drink. Ranitidine and famotidine are available over the counter at pharmacies, both as brand-name drugs and as generics, and work by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces allowing healing of ulcers.[23]
Sucralfate (Carafate) has also been a successful treatment of peptic ulcers.[24]
The lifetime risk for developing a peptic ulcer is approximately 10%.[26] Globally, as of 2010, approximately 250,000 people died of peptic ulcer disease down from 320,000 in 1990.[27]
In Western countries the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infections roughly matches age (i.e., 20% at age 20, 30% at age 30, 80% at age 80 etc.). Prevalence is higher in third world countries where it is estimated at about 70% of the population, whereas developed countries show a maximum of 40% ratio. Overall, H. pylori infections show a worldwide decrease, more so in developed countries. Transmission is by food, contaminated groundwater, and through human saliva (such as from kissing or sharing food utensils).[28]
A minority of cases of H. pylori infection will eventually lead to an ulcer and a larger proportion of people will get non-specific discomfort, abdominal pain or gastritis.
Peptic ulcer disease had a tremendous effect on morbidity and mortality until the last decades of the 20th century, when epidemiological trends started to point to an impressive fall in its incidence.[29] The reason that the rates of peptic ulcer disease decreased is thought to be the development of new effective medication and acid suppressants and the discovery of the cause of the condition, H. pylori.
In the United States about 4 million people have active peptic ulcers and about 350,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Four times as many duodenal ulcers as gastric ulcers are diagnosed. Approximately 3,000 deaths per year in the United States are due to duodenal ulcer and 3,000 to gastric ulcer.[30]
John Lykoudis, a general practitioner in Greece, treated patients for peptic ulcer disease with antibiotics, beginning in 1958, long before it was commonly recognized that bacteria were a dominant cause for the disease.[31]
Helicobacter pylori was rediscovered in 1982 by two Australian scientists, Robin Warren and Barry J. Marshall as a causative factor for ulcers.[32] In their original paper, Warren and Marshall contended that most gastric ulcers and gastritis were caused by colonization with this bacterium, not by stress or spicy food as had been assumed before.[33]
The H. pylori hypothesis was poorly received,[34] so in an act of halitosis is one of the symptoms of infection.[35] This experiment was published in 1984 in the Australian Medical Journal and is among the most cited articles from the journal.
In 1997, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with other government agencies, academic institutions, and industry, launched a national education campaign to inform health care providers and consumers about the link between H. pylori and ulcers. This campaign reinforced the news that ulcers are a curable infection, and that health can be greatly improved and money saved by disseminating information about H. pylori.[36]
In 2005, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Dr. Marshall and his long-time collaborator Dr. Warren "for their discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease." Professor Marshall continues research related to H. pylori and runs a molecular biology lab at UWA in Perth, Western Australia.
Some believed that mastic gum, a tree resin extract, actively eliminates the H. pylori bacteria.[37] However, multiple subsequent studies have found no effect of using mastic gum on reducing H. pylori levels.[38][39]

Open Letter of Apology to TAH Readers, E. Dale Buxton II (Esq.) and Justin Weiss
[Welcome Light Fighter Forum Folks. Still waiting on registration to be okay'd by Mods there if you know any.]
One UPDATE: As Susan notes below:
All, as others have mentioned, Mr. Buxton was likely assigned this crap case. He made a specious argument and deserved to be mocked – and lo we have mocked and it was good.
However, he does not deserve to be contacted or threatened. As your mother told you, it is all fun until somebody does the stupid and gets hurt or arrested.
That means please do not contact him folks. We are trying to stay out of court on civil charges, not add criminal ones to the charging sheets.
We, the crack legal team here at This Ain't Hell come before you humbled. As some of you may remember, TAH previously featured a series of posts on one Justin Weiss as part of our efforts at outing Stolen Valor posers. Mr. Weiss, who was not amused, told us that: (a) he was in uniform in his role as an actor; (b) he never claimed to have served; and (c) things we found offensive were on the internet because he had been hacked. Because we did not immediately remove the post, Mr. Weiss informed us he would contact an attorney. We hear this every day and completely ignored Mr. Weiss' threats until we received a letter from one Mr. E. Dale Buxton II (Esq.) an attorney at a very high-priced, high-profile law firm we will not name (because they have some really good lawyers and we don't want to be buried in paper for the rest of our lives). Mr. Buxton informed us that not only were we guilty of defamation, but also copyright infringement.
We, the crack legal team at TAH were unconvinced. We believed that we had good defenses and that perhaps it would be amusing to match wits with Mr. Buxton. However, after Mr. Buxton's latest missive, we have decided to admit defeat. One does not do battle with the immortal, or attempt to secure a spot at their side on Olympus or Valhalla or Fiddlers Green when one is not equal to such a task. We come before you as humble as a supplicant lying supine at the altar of Eleos, the Greek daimona of mercy, pity and compassion. We were wrong. We have wronged. We couldn't have gotten any wronger.
Like Icarus, son of Daedulus, who attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax, so did your authors and their legal team seek to escape through legal maneuvering the precarious position brought on by their posts. But as the wings of Icarus did melt from the sun, so did our efforts come to failure when we approached too closely the jurisprudential brilliance of E. Dale Buxton, II (Esq.) and we were sent plummeting into our Aegean sea of despair.
Thus, we hereby abjure and renounce without reservation all previous comments regarding Justin Weiss, and have taken down all posts previously present on our website. Much as a child's teacup is unable to contain all the waters of the world, so unequal to the task at hand are words such as "sorrow" and "guilt" that we must perpetually strive to our dying day to make this right. As renunciation, sorrow and guilt are insufficient to this task, we further pledge ourselves here onward to seek without rest the deification of Justin Weiss and E. Dale Buxton II (Esq.) Like Sísyphos, king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth) punished by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this action forever, so shall we endeavor to make right what we once made wrong.
Here, we explain to you, our readers, why.
Copyright Infringement:
Mr. Buxton informs us that the pictures posted on TAH are copyrighted works and TAH does not have permission to use them. There are apparently some laws that say we should take them down until we can determine if their use by TAH falls under the "fair use" doctrine. (None of our lawyers can find such a law anywhere.) Nonetheless, we have taken them down and instead give you the following links so that you may enjoy these copyrighted works of art in all their intended splendor and judge them in the appropriate context:
Here is a picture of the
portly hirsute Commando from the Cold Blue Rentals website.
Here is his Facebook page, wherein you get to see him sporting a saucy number with 82nd patch and various tabs.
Here is a picture of him. Look at his forearm. That is not an 82nd Airborne tattoo with tab. If you think it is, see an optometrist.
Now that we have dispensed with our lesser copyright issues, we address the real issue – the fact that TAH wronged Mr. Weiss. You see, due to TAH's mad google-foo skills, when one Googled Mr. Weiss, TAH was the first entry one would see. This was detrimental to Mr. Weiss' employment prospects as an actor, business owner and doorman.
Of course, the legal claims of Mr. Weiss are almost EXACTLY the same that John Gidduck decided to press as well. And as you know, they awarded all the Defendants legal fees since the claimwas specious. As the court held there:
Opining that someone is a liar, a fraud or was untruthful about his or her background, is, perhaps unfortunately, a common implement in American discourse. Such epithets are obviously statements of opinion and are protected under the rules enunciated in Milkovich and Burns.
Nonetheless, to avoid an idiotic lawsuit, we must now admit that the authors made these posts, which disparaged Mr. Weiss' physical appearance di so out of envy. The authors grievously asked:
"How many of you have seen a Ranger with this much stored energy (body fat)?"
What we really meant was that Mr. Weiss has the body of Hercules, the facial hair of a young Brad Pitt, the calves of James Woods, and the winsome smile of Steve Buscemi. Were the man to be immortally carved into granite, it would make even the Aphrodite Kallipygo weep tears of blood. For more perfect buttocks on a man one could search an eternity and find none half so sublime.
We failed to properly recognize in those thoroughly egregious posts that Mr. Weiss is a movie and television actor of unparalleled renown who has never sought to portray himself as having any military service with the armed forces of any country. It is to our everlasting shame that at one point we might have intimated that he did.
As you can see from the Cold Blue website Mr. Weiss has the special skills of:
. "Six years of military experience."
. "First aid in combat"
. "Crowd control tactics"
. "SWAT tactics"
We believed that this implied that Mr. Weiss had military service. We believed that this website, which is intended to attract business to Cold Blue, likely from US companies among others, and would likely be considered advertising by the Federal Trade Commission, falsely implied that Mr. Weiss (among others of their "T.A.G." members) had been members of the armed forces of the United States and/or Canada. This was a huge mistake. Nowhere on the internet or even this bright blue planet of ours can this universal truth be circumvented: Justin Weiss has never claimed to have served in the Armed Forces of any country.
As E. Dale Buxton, II (Esq.) informed us, we were reading incorrectly:
Mr. Weiss has never served in the U.S. or Canadian military, nor has he ever said he did. The information on Cold Blue's site is from Cold Blue. However, they carefully chose their words to NOT say military "service" and instead to say military "experience," which is quite different and Mr. Weiss does have the six years of military experience as described, and has finished the courses for first aid in combat. Experience = Service. Every day there are mercenaries across the world that are fighting in wars for or against militaries of various countries which nobody would argue is not military experience. Further, every day, the U.S. and Canadian military utilize civilians in practice combat experiences. Why would this not be considered military experience for these civilians?
Much as Einstein taught us that E=MC2 so has E. Dale Buxton II, (Esq.) taught us the universal truth that "Experience = Service." When Copernicus hit upon a heliocentric theory of the universe, the church tried to stifle this knowledge. When some young Irish lads hit puberty and settle upon a phalleocentric model of the universe, it is beat out of them by nuns at their private Catholic Schools. And so it is with great trepidation and fore-knowledge of the travails that await us that we, the authors of This Ain't Hell, begin work on our Magnum Opus: expounding on our theory of a Justin Weiss/E. Dale Buxton, II (Esq.)-ocentric universe.
No Lilliputian experience in actual combat could ever compare to the omniscience regarding military matters which was imparted on Mr. Weiss during his 6 years of exhaustive military experiences. Dare I say, the manner in which his expertise dwarfs our own is downright brobdingnagian.
Now do you see why your crack legal team conceded defeat? Would you want to walk into a court of law (in an inconvenient location, likely California, where military services may or may not be appreciated) and argue with a legal mind like that (with the resources of a very large law firm)? A legal mind who is so full of compassion and love for the military that he gave to it his sibling stating:
I personally have a great deal of respect for your site, and come from a military family, including a sibling that is currently a Captain in the U.S. Navy. With that said, I understand that it is perfectly reasonable sometimes to make mistakes in the information posted on your website by inaccurate information provided to you.
What compassion. What humility. What service = experience. We would go on to thank CAPT. Buxton (we do, by the way, thank CAPT. Buxton for his service), but one member of this team needs to go update his military experience to include not just his time in uniform, but the 17 years he spent as a military dependent on bases – is that not experience? Another needs to update her resume to include military experience for her time sending care packages (military logistics), consulting with the United States Marine Corp and to include her designated, honorary rank of Colonel – she gratefully returns your salute. Others amongst us have played battleship, gone fishing, navigated by the sun and moon, and engaged in dangerous pirate hunting expeditions from our bunk beds. No doubt most Navy Captains would assert that this makes us fully qualified to lead an Arleigh Burke class destroyer in operations off the Horn of Africa. If they did not, we would ask that they inspect our fitness reports (scores) from our times leading flotilla of space craft in the game Asteroids in the late 1970's.
Obviously a quick apology is also needed for the fine folks at Cold Blue Rentals that have heroically supplied men and guns for movie and television show sets for years. Their military experience would shame SEAL Team 6. We should have known right off that nothing you would say on your website would be inaccurate, or in any way shady, as doing so would violate the Federal Trade Commission's policies against deceptive acts or practices.
In a subsequent case, the Commission explained that "[i]n evaluating advertising representations, we are required to look at the complete advertisement and formulate our opinions on them on the basis of the net general impression conveyed by them and not on isolated excerpts." Standard Oil of Calif, 84 F.T.C. 1401, 1471 (1974), aff'd as modified, 577 F.2d 653 (9th Cir. 1978), reissued, 96 F.T.C. 380 (1980).
If there is someone out there that would be so misguided as to think that Cold Blue Rentals advertising Mr. Weiss as having "six years of military experience" including "first aid in combat" is in any way implying that he had actually served in combat, and in the military for six years, well then, I say until you….. Let he who is without sin cast the first complaint at the FTC.
The authors of this blog, and their legal team, could not be more contrite, and we wish to address several erroneous reports you might find elsewhere regarding Mr. Weiss.
• He has NEVER had the email addresses email@example.com, email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.
• He has NEVER had the Friendster account http://search.friendster.com/ranger75
• Mr. Weiss has NEVER claimed on the Friendster account that he doesn't have that his occupation was "Soldier. CEO of my own company, doorman" nor has he ever claimed that he has an affiliation with the "U.S. Army Ranger Association."
• When pictured in a Ranger Tab shirt out at a bar, it was NOT to imply to anyone that he was a Ranger, but rather is the efforts of an ex-girlfriend "trying to incriminate me for wearing a t shirt that my friend gave me who was a ranger that died in Afghan istan is not fair. His name was Benjamin Dillon." It is simple harmless error that Cpl Benjamin Dillon was killed not in Afghanistan but rather in Iraq.
• He DOES NOT wear an Army Ring.
• He DOES NOT have several military tattoos, and if he does, it is simply to honor those who went before him.
• Mr. Weiss have NEVER claimed to be a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross, nor any other medals or decorations (including the 75th Ranger Scroll) which he may or may not be pictured in across the internet in Copyrighted works used exclusively for getting more movie and television rolls.
• While it is true that the theatrical release of the movie "Sum of all Fears" does not at any point contain anyone wearing either an Army Dress Green Uniform, nor the Tan Beret of the US Army Rangers, the pictures which feature Mr. Weiss in those accoutrements were from that movie. They ended up on the cutting room floor as it were.
• Mr. Weiss has NEVER claimed to be a graduate of US Army Ranger class 5-96, and all sites on the internet which suggest he has said that are patently false and erroneous.
• He DOES NOT now have a very hazy picture up on his new facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/mongooseonthaloose wearing digital camouflage uniform with what appears to be an 82nd patch and various tabs, and if he did, it would be because those pictures were taken on the set of a television or movie which will be forthcoming.
• Mr. Weiss DID NOT post a caption on his Facebook page under a picture of himself in an Army Dress Green Uniform with a Tan Beret on that read "Me, Veterans day, 2006", but if he did, it was merely to honor those who have had a similar military experience to his own.
• Pictures of Mr. Weiss which appear in various places online wearing a PT shirt in front of a shower curtain, and wearing DCU pants and a Zombieland T-shirt DO NOT mean to imply to any viewer that he ever served in the US Military, and woe unto you who would interpret it to mean so.
• The email wherein someone alleging to be Justin Weiss is quoted as saying "I did at one time post a few pictures on myspace and friendster when I actually had those types of accts but I stopped and have not done that or made any claims of such for a very long time" was NOT FROM Justin Weiss, WAS NOT meant to imply he had engaged in fraudulent activity in the past for which he felt remorse, and SHOULD NOT be attributed to him in any way.
We would like to close by apologizing again, and by reinforcing how serious we intend to take this substantial error in judgment which we displayed. The burning of the city of London in 1666 is insubstantial compared to the magnitude of our error. The Bay of Pigs fiasco? But a momentary blight on the timescale of homo sapiens presence on this Earth. We are ashamed that according to our traffic reports up to 4,000 people may have seen the posts we had up earlier. Granted, no one had looked at them for over two years before receiving communication from E. Dale Buxton, II (Esq.) but, we must reach each and every one of those people in order to mitigate against the potential damage that folks reading our stuff might have assumed that Mr. Weiss had fraudulently claimed military service in the Armed Forces of any country, private military firm, coterie of bodyguards for any potentate or anything else which could be so documented. We must do this together.
Now, go forth and govern yourself accordingly. In the meantime, the Legal Team will follow the advice of James Douglas Morrison: "Let's go get some Tacos."

Watershed setbacks are needed for the Wissahickon
City Council members need to hear from you about watershed setbacks!
When the new zoning code went into effect back in August, the Wissahickon Watershed Ordinance expired. It protected the watershed that comprises much of Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy by controlling development within a setback of 200 feet, maintaining riparian buffer of vegetation that prevents stream bank erosion and cleans the water flowing into the stream.
The water of the Wissahickon flows into the Schuylkill, which, by the way, is part of the drinking water supply for the city of Philadelphia, along with water from the Delaware. Protecting the quality of water is important for protecting the quality of life in our city.
The zoning bill that was forwarded to City Council last spring included watershed protections. However, at the last minute, they were removed from the bill with the idea that a new proposal for that component of the code would be introduced in the fall when council had more time to consider the implications of citywide stream bank protections.
After meetings (by invitation) over the summer, a new bill has been proposed with a 50-foot setback. However, in the past few days there has been a move to cut that setback to 25 feet. A more ideal setback would be 100 feet. Fifty feet was already a compromise, but 25 feet would be ineffective at preventing erosion and at protecting water quality according to the EPA.
Note that 50 feet or even 100 feet would be a reduction of the protection of 200 feet that we previously had with the Wissahickon Watershed Ordinance. The community should initiate a discussion about what would be appropriate setbacks for the Wissahickon – specifically should they differ from setbacks for other waterways in Philadelphia.
Many other cities and rural areas have required watershed setbacks. Establishing them for Philadelphia should be part of Philadelphia's plan to improve health throughout the city.
Contact City Council members to encourage them to protect the health of the city and its water supply by enacting a bill with an ideal setback of 100 feet, or at the bare minimum 50 feet. The Wissahickon should not be without protection!

What is a FreeCycle?
I was first introduced to the concept of a freecycle at last year's Mt Airy Village Fair. Mt Airy resident Meenal Raval organized a freecycle for the event. It looked exactly like a yard sale except that volunteers patrolled the tables shouting "yes, everything is free!"
The surprised looks struck me as very funny. Peopled questioned it even when they heard the volunteers. I am not sure if anyone had ever seen this concept in action before – I hadn't. It's a free market and it really made me rethink the value of my stuff.
From an environmental perspective, it is brilliant because it encompasses the mantra "reduce, reuse, recycle." You reduce the stuff in your house/car/office by passing it along to someone else who can reuse and recycle it in their lives. Keeping "would be" trash from landfills helps reduce the toxic harmful methane gasses produced by landfills and reduces pollution by putting less trash in gas guzzling trash trucks.
Inspired by Meenal's efforts, Green in Chestnut Hill (GRinCH) organized a Clothing freecycle titled Things People Need-Not Thneeds during the Trail of the Lorax event. We thought it was a great fit for the event – Dr Seuss' "The Lorax" is about the environmental dangers of over consumption and the importance of trees and preservation.
We asked citizens to donate their gently used clothing, shoes and accessories. Valley Green Bank generously sponsored the event by making the Chestnut Hill branch a drop off sight as well as promoting it in their advertizements. Bowman Properties donated the Magarity space for us to sort the carloads of donations and hold the event.
GRinCHees Linda Rauscher, Alix Rabin, Noreen Spota, Zeta Cross and Lana Corrales, plus volunteers Mansura, Janna, Matt and Rena, sorted through bags upon bags for hours. We even had two guerrilla volunteers show up and jump in sorting and consolidating the clothing on racks. GRinCH thanks everyone involved – from donaters to volunteers to business people.
In four hours the four-plus carloads of clothing, shoes and accessories were reduced to one carload, which was taken to Meenal's house for this year's freecycle at the Village Fair!

Nothing like a challenge, right? A week or so ago, I noticed that the May Mixology Monday theme was Tom Waits. The concept's interesting but the thing I noticed was that there was no date for it, no deadline. This is new for MxMo, so I took to Twitter:
Next Mixology Monday is apparently about Tom Waits, but when the hell is it? Just some random Monday in May?
Just three minutes later, the father of Mixology Monday, Paul Clarke, replied:
Dude, hard liquor and Tom Waits are for EVERY Monday in May.
Now that's a helluva challenge. I just feel bad that poor May 3 got left out of this challenge, but hey, who likes 5/3 anyway?
For tonight, I'm thinking a clip from Fernwood Tonight, a very odd program from 1977–Martin Mull, Fred Willard. Great clip, but forgive the laugh track.
Now, as it turns out, the official date is May 24, but hey. In for a penny, in for a bottle in front of me.
Here's a bonus video, of Tom on the Mike Douglas show.
Mike Douglas: Tom, you project a very strange image. How would you describe what you do?
Tom Waits: Perhaps a little bit of a curator, a curator…. I'm an unemployed service-station attendant.

Harley-Davidson has issued a massive recall with the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) all because of a faulty rear brake light switch. Affecting 250,757 units in all, the recall is for certain 2009-2012 Harley Davidson Touring, CVO Touring, and Trike motorcycles (full list after the jump). Because of excessive heat caused by the exhaust system, the rear brake light switch on these motorcycles might not activate when the brakes are engaged, or conversely may activate when no braking is occurring.
Harley-Davidson is also disclosing that the issue may cause brake fluid to leak at the brake light switch, which could affect the rear brake's performance. With both issues apt to cause an accident, all 250,757 bikes are being recalled. The recall is expected to start October 31, 2011, and Harley-Davidson will contact affected owners and replace the brake light switch free of charge. Concerned Harley owners can contact the Milwaukee company at 1-414-343-4056, and as always the NHTSA is available at 1-888-327-4236 & safercar.gov.

Alfie is a sweetheart, but his biting is a bit of a problem. He bites when he greets people, ( tail waggy biting) he bites when he is excited generally, He bites particularly badly when I put his collar or harness on. Some of the bites are really painful and draw blood as he chomps down so hard. Any tips? Is this usual at this age ( 11 weeks ) ?
many thanks

Cory Booker's rough primetime debut
The past few weeks have brought out a different side of Cory Booker.
For years, the Newark, N.J., mayor has expertly managed his national image as big city superhero, burnished by made-for-Hollywood feats: rescuing a neighbor's daughter from a burning building, saving a shivering dog from the bitter cold.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Cory Booker's career)
But since he started exploring a run for U.S. Senate in December, in the face of tougher media scrutiny that was bound to follow, Booker is showing the unmistakable symptoms of glass jaw syndrome.
He's learning the hard way that a Senate race fought in multiple major media markets is different than a citywide one on his own turf. His sensitivity to perceived slights in news coverage is raising questions about how easily the high-flying mayor can make the transition from the mostly adoring national media coverage he's received over the years and the friendly confines of his 1.3 million Twitter followers.
"Is he a show horse or a workhorse? Can he be both?" said Doug Muzzio, a Baruch College political science professor who lives in New Jersey.
( PHOTOS: 12 things less popular than Congress)
One New Jersey operative, who requested anonymity, was blunt about the perils of running without preparation:
"I guess only he can answer the question of [whether he is ready for] a 360-degree review of your life and times and acquaintances and friendships."
That includes personal financial disclosures, which will require Booker for the first time to disclose, among other details, the fees he's received for speeches that he travels the country to give.
Public polls all show Booker as the heavy favorite if he follows through as expected and runs for longtime Sen. Frank Lautenberg's seat. The question is less whether he could win but whether Booker — who's widely seen as harboring national ambitions — will sustain damage along the way.
Booker initially agreed to be interviewed by POLITICO, rescheduled twice, then canceled 20 minutes after a reporter asked for comment on criticisms he had received from a prominent New Jersey Democrat about how he's handled his campaign rollout.
( PHOTOS: Meet the 12 newly elected senators)
Since December, Booker has seen a New York Times piece that was one of the roughest of his political career, suggesting his record in Newark is not so stellar when held up to the light. The Star-Ledger of Newark reported that he had softened his stance on gun control. Those were among a string of news stories more pointed than Booker has been used to.
He's also taken flak from Lautenberg, who isn't happy about Booker's public designs on his seat as the 89-year-old decides whether to retire. The senator has knocked Booker's record in Newark and suggested that the young mayor needs a "spanking" for being "disrespectful." Booker has resisted responding to Lautenberg.

Judge Marsha Revel laid down the law during a hearing this AM in Beverly Hills court. Judge Revel told Lindsay in order to stay free on bail, she cannot drink alcohol, she must wear a SCRAM device and she must submit to random drug testing.
Lindsay must begin wearing the SCRAM bracelet within 24 hours.
Lindsay must also attend all scheduled alcohol ed classes at least once a week.
Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, began to object to the conditions, but when the judge said she would state out loud all the reasons why the conditions were appropriate -- Holley backed off and accepted the conditions.
And the judge indicated Lindsay must stay in the L.A. area -- which will get in the way of shooting a movie in Texas. The judge basically said, tough luck.
Mind you ... the conditions the judge imposed must be met in order for Lindsay to remain free on bail. The judge is also scheduling a hearing to determine if Lindsay has violated her probation -- the date for the hearing is July 6.
If the judge decides Lindsay violated her probation by not attending her alcohol ed program as required ... she could be jailed for 180 days.

Is Mental Illness the Reason for Britney Spears' Continued Conservatorship?
When Britney Spears lost her you-know-what in 2008, she did so in front of the whole world. It made sense for her daddy Jamie Spears to swoop on and assume control of her finances, the Britney Spears business (which is a goldmine), and her life. She was surrounded by opportunistic vultures and needed help.
Fast forward nearly five years and Brit is in a happier and healthier place, with a fiancé and a comeback album in the form of 'Femme Fatale.' So why is her father still her conservator, with future husband Jason Trawick added as a co-conservator last spring? Rumor has it that a mental illness keeps Brit unable from assuming full control of her affairs.
TMZ reports that Brit is gripped by a medical issue that prevents her from making consistent, sound decisions, and therefore, the conservatorship is not only a protective measure but a necessary one. Her daddy and her future hubby make both professional and personal decisions for her simply because she cannot do it herself. So while at first it may have seemed as Brit was a puppet controlled by the men in her life, it now appears that she needs their guidance due to a medical ailment.
Court documents filed Tuesday (Aug. 21) urged the judge to seal the highly sensitive records, since the information contained within could damage Brit's reputation, causing "irreparable harm and immediate danger," if leaked.
Yikes, that sounds as serious as a heart attack!
The documents are reportedly medical in nature, detailing both Brit Brit's condition and treatment. It's reportedly a disorder that affects her personality and her state of mind. The conservatorship provides her with a safety net and therefore it will remain in tact.

Smoked Salmon Spread (from Barefoot Contessa Family Style, by Ina Garten)
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced
Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.
