Court will consider extra pay for mortgage brokers
June 16, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from former mortgage brokers for Quicken Loans who claim the online mortgage giant owes them overtime pay for their work in the last decade.
The justices said Monday they will review a lower court ruling in favor of Quicken. The case will be argued in the fall.
The case turns on rules put in place by the Department of Labor that would make the mortgage brokers eligible for overtime pay under federal labor law. The rules were changed twice in a four-year period that spanned the Bush and Obama administrations.
In 2006, the Labor Department said the mortgage brokers were like executives and thus not covered by the overtime provision. In 2010, the department reversed itself.

Selected content from volume 28, number 1, of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on NCSE's website.
The Texas state board of education heard testimony about the proposed new set of state science standards during its meeting on November 19, 2008 — and plenty of the testimony concerned the treatment of evolution in the standards. As the Dallas Morning News (November 20, 2008) explained, the standards "will dictate what is taught in science classes in elementary and secondary schools and provide the material for state tests and textbooks. The standards will remain in place for a decade after their approval by the state board."
Scientists at public and private universities in Texas overwhelmingly reject the arguments advanced by the antievolutionists seeking to undermine the treatment of evolution in Texas's state science standards, according to a report just released by the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund.
Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial, the NOVA documentary about Kitzmiller v. Dover, was among the winners of the 2008 Science Journalism Awards presented by the American Association for the Advancement of Science to honor excellence in science reporting.
The Texas state board of education is scheduled to hear testimony on the state's science standards on November 19, 2008, and the treatment of evolution is likely to be a contentious issue.

Maj. Wild is skyhigh about Thunderbird appointment
Most people know about the United States Air Force Thunderbirds via air shows when Rhode Islanders jet, metaphorically, to Quonset to see the Air Demonstration Squadron fly. But not everyone is familiar with the men and women who work behind the scenes.
One of them is Warwick's own Major Josh Wild, a 1995 Toll Gate graduate who in August was appointed as Thunderbird 10 Executive Officer at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada. He applied for the position and was selected by Gen. Gilmary M. Hostage III, the Commander of Air Combat Command, from a group of about 20 other applicants.
"I was thrilled," Wild said of his appointment. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have the ability to represent all 700,000 Total Force Active Duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen. I'm honored to be here. It's such a wonderful group of people and the mission is unbelievable."
His parents, Judy and Jonathan Wild, were equally excited. Judy, Warwick's probate clerk, said they are beyond proud.
"It's a very cool assignment," she said. "I visited Las Vegas in November and got to go to an air show. It was my first one. I got to go into the hanger and the Thunderbird museum."
With 130 members in the Air Force Demonstration Squadron, Wild leads an executive support staff responsible for Thunderbirds cyber/knowledge operations, budget, training and force support actions for Thunderbird 1, the commander/leader.
Additionally, he and the team travel more than 200 days a year, as they visit cities and towns for air shows. They also stop at various locations as part of an outreach program. During his journeys, he's met children who benefit from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, plus veterans of the Wounded Warriors Project. Witnessing the amazement of people who they meet, said Wild, is his favorite part of being a member of the Thunderbirds.
"When we were down in Miami, we went to a children's hospital and spent about an hour and a half going room to room and handing out little jets, coins and pins," he said. "Seeing the reaction of the kids when we came in is just fantastic."
Before taking the position, Wild served as an operations flight commander for the AFROTC Detachment 012 at Sanford University in Birmingham, Ala. There, he taught leadership classes to students who were interested in becoming commissioned officers.
Wild started his military career in 1999 by joining the Air National Guard and was assigned to the 143rd Guard Unit at Quonset. Upon his return from technical training, he switched to active duty and shortly after was commissioned to become an officer in 2002. He was deployed to Honduras in 2011, where he served alongside the Army as part of Joint Task Force Bravo until March 2012, and also served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2010.
He remembers how "very touching" it was when he returned being greeted by military veterans at the airport. But reuniting with Dee, his wife of 13 years, and their three children, Madison, 13, Jaiden, 11, and Quinn, 7, is one of the greatest feelings he's experienced.
Previously, he was studying special education at Rhode Island College but felt unsure about what he wanted to do with his future.
"A couple of friends of mine had joined the Guard in Quonset, and they recommended I go see a recruiter," Wild said. "I went and I liked what I heard, which is why I initially joined the Guard. I intended on coming back and finishing school, but I went to basic training and just loved it. When I returned, I switched to the active duty side."
He continued, "That's the thing that's great about being on the team. We get an opportunity to tell that story to people who don't really understand how hard it is to leave for seven months and miss everybody's birthday and miss Christmas. But my family is extremely resilient. My wife comes from a military family and she was in the Air Force for four years."
Wild met Dee while they both served in the Air Force. She was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant around the same time he was commissioned.
"She's extremely supportive and knows the sacrifice that we make to do this," Wild said.
He and his family relocated to Las Vegas in August. His children, he said, especially enjoy living in Vegas, but they are Rhode Islanders at heart.
"We are a hockey family; that's what we spend a majority of our time doing," said Wild. "The boys both play ice hockey on the Las Vegas Junior Wranglers. My daughter loves it, too. She's a cheerleader at her high school. We're really happy. We don't even go to the strip. There are so many wonderful things to do in Las Vegas. There's snowboarding and skiing, which people wouldn't even realize."
Wild also is grateful to his parents for supporting him throughout his military career. He praised them for encouraging him to follow his heart.
"To have the military life, it's very important to have a close-knit family as well as a good support system, especially when you're deployed," he said. "My mom would go see the kids when I was deployed. That's something very important."
In addition to attending Toll Gate, Wild was a student at local schools, including Robertson Elementary, St. Rose of Lima and Winman Junior High.

Animal Species:Snot Sea Cucumber
The Snot Sea Cucumber is covered in a mucous slime and feels sticky to touch.
Standard Common Name
Snot Sea Cucumber
Like all echinoderms, the Snot Sea Cucumber has spiny skin. The microscopic spines, called anchors, are embedded into the thin, transparent body wall and help the sea cucumber burrow through the sand.
Size range
15 cm
Snot Sea Cucumbers are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia andTasmania.
Snot Sea Cucumbers live on intertidal rocky shores and in coastal waters to a depth of 200 m.
Feeding and Diet
As the Snot Sea Cucumber burrows, contracting its body like a huge earthworm, tentacles surrounding its mouth sweep in sand and mud. The sea cucumber extracts nutrients from the sand and mud, and excretes the rest, leaving behind trails of sand like squeezed toothpaste.

text: First off, I'd like to say hello to all as a long time reader, first time poster. I have learned a great deal from these forums.I'm 32 now, and was involved in the criminal justice system early in my youth doing stupid things. Although I have no felonies, I have a few misdemeanor convictions from traffic violations, disorderly conduct, and loitering. With the last one being about 7 years ago, and if or when I'm eligible to take the bar exam would be 9 years in the past. Should I be discouraged?Furthermore I currently do not have a bachelors degree. I have a Associates in general studies with a good deal of psychology credits from a community college with a GPA of about 3.75. I went back to a University a couple years ago amassed a few more credits w/ the hopes of completing a BA in Business Computer Information Systems.So I have a total of about 80 credits, and plan on returning to school to get my bachelors so that I may apply for Law School. I currently make a good living in the Computer/telecommunications field so having a technical degree isn't really as much of an advantage to me at this point as just obtaining a bachelors degree. It would be easier to major in Psychology, and probably less expensive as well. Would anyone recommend this, or should try to major in criminal justice, or some sort of law orientated course load? Also I'm not really that interested in getting into a top school, as I have a family and would like to stay put. I'm not really interested in working for a major firm, or anything high-profile. Ultimately I see myself as a public defender, or a general practice lawyer. Someone that can help young males like myself (in the past) avoid the criminal justice system, or help them navigate their way out of it at an early age.Any thoughts or recommendations about my path or goals would be greatly appreciated.

Perry Lefko, of the Toronto Sun, reports the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL have signed former NFL QB Eric Crouch to a contract. A formal announcement is expected Friday, Feb. 10. It's believed the deal will be at least two years and a club option for a third year. Speculation is he'll receive $80,000 in a base salary this season, but the deal has various incentives to drive the total package well beyond $100,000. If elevated to the full-time starter, he would likely be looking at an annual salary of at least $250,000-$300,000.

|NFL | Crouch Still Wants to Play
Fri, 08 Jul 2005 06:58:07 -0700
Brian Christopherson, of the Lincoln Journal Star, reports free agent S Eric Crouch (Chiefs) said he still wants to play football. He was recently released by the Kansas City Chiefs. "I wasn't surprised by it at all," Crouch said. "I had a good feeling that was going to happen, a good bad feeling if you know what I mean. (The Chiefs) needed someone to step in right away and play for them. I don't blame them. It's a business." Crouch has to overcome the fact he walked away from the St. Louis Rams, five months after he was drafted in the third round to play wide receiver. He said he did not want to play wide receiver. "It's hard to believe with the college career I had that it's that tough to get a look," Crouch said. "But I haven't really even scuffed the surface of a pro career at all. To me, I still feel like I have a lot of football left in me." Crouch said he's in the best shape of his life.

Thank God that the Broncos lost on Sunday. And we better hope they keep losing if only to save us from the horrors of Tim Tebow Derangement Syndrome. Rabbi Joshua Hammerman wrote a piece so bigoted against Christians that Jewish Week pulled it. Here was a favorite portion:
If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants. While America has become more inclusive since Jerry Falwell's first political forays, a Tebow triumph could set those efforts back considerably.
The piece also referred to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick as "moral exemplars in their home communities" and Denver as the "Oberammergau of the Rockies"! Tom Brady. Bill Belichick. If they're moral exemplars, the Northeast is even worse off than I thought! Just kidding. I knew the Northeast was a God-forsaken wasteland. OK, seriously, just Boston is.
Anyway, Jewish Week apologized for the piece, reminding people that forgiveness is a virtue. And Hammerman himself apologized to Tebow and his family, football fans and anyone else he may have offended. Like, I don't know, Christians, perhaps?
OK, so that's the sort of tone with which some corners of the internet are discussing Tim Tebow. And by that standard, this feature about how the media should cover Tebow's religion by Charles P. Pierce in Grantland is better! What other nice things can I say about it? Well, it only has a few errors. I read the whole thing, which is more than I can say for many other things I start at Grantland. What else? Pierce is a funny writer. The descriptions of his favorite no-gain and one-yard gain plays he's seen are just great.
Onto the problems.
But, of course, that was not what the past week was about, either. Tim Tebow became "compelling" because he became a character in the great national dumbshow that is our culture war. And we should be very clear about one thing — he wasn't dragooned into this. Nobody drafted him. He walked into this role with his eyes open. Before he ever took a snap in the NFL, he appeared in an anti-choice television ad with his mother that was sponsored by Focus on the Family, an influential anti-choice, anti-gay-rights organization founded by the Rev. James Dobson. He knew what he was doing.
(Added historical curiosity: Dobson was playing in the pickup basketball game during which Pistol Pete Maravich was stricken and died. Strike two.)
No, Focus on the Family was not founded by the Rev. James Dobson, though I'm sure such a reverend exists. It was founded by James Dobson, a psychologist. Not a reverend. And to speak of walking into a role of culture warrior with your eyes wide open, excellent choice of language on describing pro-lifers as "anti-choice"! Glad you got the memo. Twice, too! And I really like how the emotional phobia of Dobson comes shining through.
Which made a lot of the chin-stroking about Tebow's religion over the past weeks pretty much beside the point. It has been argued paradoxically that his faith is both vital to his success and off-limits to criticism. This is, of course, nonsense. He put his business in the street that way, and he did so by allying himself with the softer side of a movement that contains other organizations that the Southern Poverty Law Center, which knows about this stuff, recently designated as hate groups. There was considerable thumb-sucking about the propriety of criticizing — or, gloriosky, perhaps even mocking — Tebow's conspicuous religiosity. This was an ironical moment in that it came in the week that journalist Christopher Hitchens died, and it was Hitchens whom I first heard say, although he may have been quoting someone else, that the only proper answer a journalist can give to the question "Is nothing sacred?" is "Yes."
Gloriosky it is. But as for the Southern Poverty Law Center ... in their recent zeal to make it easier to bully opponents by labeling them "haters," they sort of nuked the fridge. They decided that quite a few groups that have moral opposition to homosexuality are hate groups (Well, not all groups that are morally or religiously opposed. It was noted at the time that the list featured Christian and conservative groups but not Islamic ones). You might be more familiar with the term "hate group" when it's used to refer to groups that incite violence. That's not what SPLC means, but isn't it easy how we can now just marginalize a group by saying "the Southern Poverty Law Center, which knows about this stuff, designated them as hate groups so you do not need to listen to their arguments at all, OK? And if you do, I will beat you up after gym class." Speaking of violence, you might recall that the SPLC president was on national media the day of the tragic Rep. Gabby Giffords shooting blaming conservative ideology for the massacre. Because, you know, it "knows about this stuff."
Anyway, Pierce goes on to point out that it's a free country and many a people have made a lot of money mocking public religiosity. This is true. It's a time-honored path.
Then Pierce conveys the shocking news -- I gasped, when I read it -- that Tim Tebow and his family are evangelical Protestants. I knew you could go to Grantland for essays, but breaking news, too?
Let us be quite clear — Tim Tebow adheres to a particular form of American Protestantism. He belongs to — and proselytizes for — a splinter of a splinter, no more or less than Mitt Romney once did. This particular splinter has a long record in America of fostering anti-Enlightenment thought, retrograde social policies, and, more discreetly, religious bigotry. To call Tim Tebow a "Christian," and to leave it at that — as though there were one definition of what a "Christian" is — is to say nothing and everything at once. Roman Catholics are Christians. So are Lutherans, Episcopalians, Melkites, Maronites, and members of the Greek and Russian Orthodox faiths. You can see how insidious this is when discussion turns to the missionary work that Tebow's family has done in the Philippines. This is from the Five Priorities of the Bob Tebow ministries, regarding its work overseas:
It is the goal of the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association to preach the gospel to every person who has never had an opportunity to hear the good news of eternal life in Jesus Christ. Most of the world's population has never once had the opportunity to hear the only true message of forgiveness of sins by faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
And why is this so horrible?
It so happens that 95 percent of the population of the Philippines is Roman Catholic. Catholic doctrine just happens to be in conflict with what Bob Tebow and his son preach in regard to personal salvation. (To devout Catholics, for example, sins are not forgiven "by faith alone," but through the sacrament of reconciliation as administered by a priest.) Bob Tebow's goal is not to convert unbelievers. It is to supplant an existing form of Christianity. So who's the actual Christian here? This is not an idle point to be made. Down through history, millions of people have died in conflicts over what a "Christian" really is, which is what so exercised Madison, and also what brought down a lot of Hitchens' wrath upon religion in general. History says that as soon as you start talking about "the only true message" in this regard, you guarantee that, eventually, people will get slaughtered in the town square.
I'm just glad we finally got to the part where Christians are killing people! It's not an authentic Tebow Derangement Syndrome column if Christians aren't publicly slaughtering people in the town square, you know?
Anyway, by "95 percent," he means "80 percent." But yes, it is true that Catholics and Protestants have different views on the Doctrine of Justification. You can read more about it by visiting the 16th century. OK, I'd love to end there but one more thing:
Earlier this week, some kids were suspended at a high school on Long Island for "Tebowing" — dropping to one knee in prayerful contemplation — in the hallways. Asked for his reaction, Tebow replied, "You have to respect the position of authority and people that God has put in authority over you, so that's part of it. But I think it does show courage from the kids, standing out and doing that, and some boldness."
First of all, God is involving Himself in how they select principals to run the high schools on Long Island? That's a bear of an interview process right there. And you will note the obvious passive-aggressiveness in the second part of the answer. Obey your principal because God got him the job, but, damn, these kids are brave in their faith to defy the principal's authority and, by extension of the first point, God's. This is childish. It is silly. And it also makes my head hurt.
Wow, what an idiot Tim Tebow is. Where in the world did he get that crazy idea that Christians believe God puts people in authority? I am glad that Pierce is able to set him straight. I also love that Tebow, trying to thread the needle of not trashing some of his ardent fans by finding something good to say about their act and he's thereby called "childish, silly," etc. Maybe I watched too many John Hughes films in the 1980s, but it does show some boldness to risk detention through the time-honored practice of high school pranks.
Now, Pierce's whole point is in his final paragraph:
If we're going to have a real discussion about the place of public religion in our public spectacles, then let's have one instead of some mushy, Wonder Bread platitudes about how great it is that Tim Tebow talks about Jesus and doesn't get caught doing strippers two at a time in the hot tub. If religion comes into the public square, it is as vulnerable as any other human institution to be pelted with produce. Ignorance does not become wisdom just because you gussy it up with the Gospels. If we keep faith with those American values, then we might just let him off the hook enough to see if he simply can become a better quarterback than Andy Dalton.
Sure, excellent point. I myself would like to write a piece soon critiquing the Theology of Glory that surrounds some Tebow cultists. But the best possible thing I could say about this piece is that it pelted produce, completely missed its target, engaged in bigotry and was far less substantive than the Wonder Bread platitudes being derided. But other than that, it was a pretty good read.

oh, i hadn't checked this thread for a little while! came back and found all these wonderful replies. still so helpful because we are still at the same stage.
everything that all of you wrote put me at ease, thank you. i gave her a little bit of smashed potato the other day... not quite as bold as some other choices, but definitely more dense and drier than the purees she'd been eating. i am trying to make the purees chunkier bit by bit. she liked the potato! i'll keep trying.
thanks for all the great advice!

For woodturners, the nip of autumn in the air usually triggers thoughts of holiday projects. Here are two ornaments you may enjoy making. A simple spindle or "icicle" ornament provides the opportunity to practice technique and design while producing gifts in quantity, should that be your goal. The more complex hollow-globe ornament is slightly more challenging. It would be nice as a special gift or to keep and pass down in your own family.

At the 2009 Copenhagen Conference, China promised to reduce its carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40-50% by 2020. In order to achieve this goal, the authorities in China announced that the proportion of non-fossil fuel energy sources in China's primary energy supply will rise to 15%.
To realize the proportion of non-fossil energy target, the initial planning in the 12th Five Year Plan is to invest in CNY4 trillion to develop seven strategic new industries. The renewable energy source industry is one of the seven. According to China's renewable energy industry development planning, the target installation of windpower is 90GWp, hydroelectric is 280GWp, solar is 10GWp, and biomass is 1.3MWp by 2015.
During the 12th Five Year Plan period, solar PV will be the fastest growing renewable energy. At the end of 2010, solar PV system installations were only 822MWp in China, however, as the price of solar products has been decreasing rapidly in recent years, installations in China in the next five years will grow by tenfold to reach the target of 10GWp.
The 12th Five Year Plan also set up plans to regulate the environment of the solar PV industry. The plan sets to control the volume of crystalline silicon PV industries. The government will allocate resources to the main solar firms with targets such as having 1-2 firms with polysilicon production capacity of 50,000 tons and 2-4 firms with 10,000 tons of capacity. The government also hopes to have 1-2 firms with solar cell production capacity reaching 5GW and 8-10 firms reaching 1GW. Lastly, China hopes to have 3-4 solar equipment firms with annual revenues exceeding CNY1 billion.

Gallery: Prince Harry 'speechless' for Invictus Games announcement
Ever the good sport, Prince Harry didn't miss a beat when his speaking notes blew away mid-speech on Wednesday. The prince took the episode in stride, so to speak, when he dashed out from behind his lectern and rescued the notes himself, much to the delight of his audience.
Prince Harry was in London for the announcement of the British team for the upcoming Invictus Games, which are scheduled to take place next month.
"The 29-year-old cracked jokes and raised a laugh as he had to retrieve his speech when it blew away at the announcement of the biggest British military sports team ever assembled from wounded, injured or sick servicemen and women," reported the Daily Mail. "As the paper blew away, raising laughter from the audience, Harry was forced to retrieve it, joking: 'No blowing from the left, thank you.' "
Hello! magazine reported that the prince delivered an "entertaining and heartfelt speech" about the team and the upcoming Games. Prince Harry has been a passionate advocate of veterans' issues.
"He thanked the public and the media for their support of the games, which he has championed and are being backed by the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry and the Ministry of Defence," said the Daily Telegraph.

This patient summary on substance abuse issues in cancer is adapted from the summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials, is available from the National Cancer Institute. Substance abuse rarely develops in people who have cancer who do not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse. This brief summary describes substance abuse issues in patients with cancer who have a history of substance abuse, and addresses the use of opioid drugs to control cancer pain.
People with cancer very rarely develop substance abuse problems unless they abused drugs and alcohol before cancer was diagnosed. Generally, people without a history of substance abuse can take opioids and other drugs to control cancer pain without developing substance abuse problems. People with a history of substance abuse, however, are at risk for developing problems when drugs are prescribed to control cancer symptoms.
Patients who have a history of substance abuse may find that illegal drug and alcohol use interfere with their ability to receive cancer therapy. The use of drugs may interfere with the effectiveness of anticancer therapy and may cause patients to become even sicker.
Patients with cancer who are current substance abusers, or who have been substance abusers in the past, may find it difficult to develop a trusting relationship with a network of friends and family members and with the cancer treatment team. The lack of trust may compromise cancer treatment and follow-up care and may worsen the patient's quality of life.
Substance abuse is very uncommon among patients with cancer. The number of known patients with cancer who are substance abusers may be small because these patients do not seek medical help in hospitals, or they may not acknowledge to health care providers that they have a substance abuse problem.
Physical dependence
Physical dependence is defined as the occurrence of withdrawal symptoms when a drug is abruptly stopped, the dose is significantly reduced, or when a second drug is given that counteracts the actions of the drug to which the patient has developed a dependence. The dependence is not apparent until one of these actions occurs. When a patient with cancer is receiving an opioid drug for cancer pain, care is taken to avoid stopping the drug abruptly or prescribing other drugs that decrease or negate the effect of the opioid. Physical dependence on opioid pain medications does not seem to occur in patients with cancer. In these patients, once the pain disappears (usually through the effective treatment of the cancer), the pain medicine can be stopped without difficulty.
Tolerance to opioid pain medications may develop. Tolerance is the need to take increasingly larger doses of medication to relieve pain symptoms. Among patients taking opioid drugs for medical reasons, tolerance has not been shown to lead to drug addiction or drug abuse problems.
Substance abuse
Substance abuse is the use of a drug in any manner that does not conform to the physician's orders or the use of any illegal drug.
Addiction is the use of a substance in a manner that is out of control, compulsive, used in increasing amounts, and is continued despite the risk of harm. A patient who uses opioids to relieve cancer pain may become physically dependent on the drugs, but is not described as being addicted to them.
These terms are generally used in association with people who do not have a medical illness. The terms are not entirely appropriate to use to describe medically ill people who are using drugs therapeutically.
The following issues make assessing substance abuse among patients who are receiving treatment for medical illness more difficult.
If cancer pain is not adequately treated, a patient may use drugs recklessly in an attempt to seek relief. Many patients may not receive effective treatment for their pain. When the prescribed treatment is adjusted and pain is controlled, the patient's need to use drugs in a manner in which they were not prescribed disappears.
People who have a history of drug abuse may revert to the use of an illegal drug when their pain is not adequately treated. Some of these patients may develop an addiction to prescribed drugs.
Sociocultural influences
Because the terminology used to describe drug abuse is not intended to include people without a history of drug abuse who are using medicationstherapeutically, many questions have yet to be answered. For example, while it is clear that a patient who forges a prescription, or injects a drug that was meant to be taken by mouth, is displaying deviant behavior, it is not clear if the same may be said about a patient who increases the dosage to control unrelieved pain, or takes a pain medication to fall asleep at night.
Health care professionals may make assumptions about the risk of drug abuse based on a patient's social group. If the patient belongs to a social group in which there is a high incidence of drug abuse, or if the patient has a history of drug abuse, it may be incorrectly assumed that the patient is at risk for abusing drugs prescribed for therapeutic purposes.
Disease-related factors
Substance abuse may be difficult to identify if the disease is progressing and causing the patient to have physical and mental changes. Treatment for disease may also cause these changes; radiation therapy to stop brain metastases, for example, can cause the patient to become withdrawn and experience mental changes.
To determine the cause of drug-related behaviors in patients who have advanced medical disease, the patients may be asked if the drug in question has been used at other times in the patient's life, whether drug use interfered with the patient's ability to complete treatment for the disease, and whether drug use prevented the patient from establishing a relationship with the health care team or family members.
Redefining abuse and addiction for the medically ill
The behavioral characteristics that are present in substance abusers, such as loss of control over drug use, compulsive drug use, and continued drug use despite harm, should be monitored in patients who are using drugs for medical conditions. Should a patient develop these behaviors, the health care provider should re-evaluate the patient's drug regimen.
In patients who do not have a history of drug abuse, the use of opioids to control cancer pain very rarely develops into a significant abuse or addiction problem. Patients and some health care professionals continue to have unfounded fears that opioid use for controlling cancer pain may become addictive when a more significant problem is the undertreatment of pain.
At one time it was assumed that many addictions originated from the use of drugs prescribed for pain. Because cancer patients are able to use opioids for cancer pain without experiencing significant problems, the risks and benefits of long-term opioid treatment for chronic pain that is not related to cancer needs to be reassessed. Three studies of over 24,000 patients without drug addiction histories who were being treated for burn, headache, or other pain, found opioid abuse in only 7 patients.
It is also suggested that the feeling of euphoria that a drug addict experiences does not happen in patients taking drugs to control pain. A patient taking opioids therapeutically more typically experiences a sense of depression rather than euphoria, thereby reducing the risk that the patient will become addicted to the drug.
The overall evidence indicates that in patients who do not have drug abuse or addiction histories, relationships with substance abusers, or psychological problems, the use of opioid therapy for control of chronic pain has a very low risk of developing into drug abuse or addiction. This is especially true for older patients who have never abused drugs.
Patients who have a history of substance abuse can be treated successfully for chronic pain. Although studies have not yet been done, it is assumed that these patients may be more likely than patients without a drug history to abuse a pain medication or become addicted to it.
The following issues refer to palliative care for patients who are actively abusing alcohol or other drugs, or who are in a drug-free recovery or methadone program.
Involve a multidisciplinary team
Patients with histories of substance abuse are best treated for progressive medical illness by a team of health care providers. A team of one or more physicians, nurses, social workers and, if possible, an expert in addiction medicine, will address the many medical, psychosocial, and administrative problems that patients with drug histories and progressive illness may have.
Set realistic goals for therapy
Patients who have drug abuse and addiction problems experience periods of recovery and relapse. The risk of relapse is increased when patients have a life-threatening disease and have access to pain medication. In this situation, the goal of treatment may not be the complete prevention of relapse, but may be to provide a structure that will limit any harm done by abuse of the drugs. Some patients who have severe substance abuse and related psychological problems may never be able to use therapeutic drugs as prescribed. The health care team should monitor and revise treatment goals for these patients as often as necessary to avoid treatment that is not successful.
Treat related psychiatric disorders
Alcoholics and patients with substance abuse histories are very likely to also suffer from depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. The risk of relapse may be decreased if the patient also receives treatment for anxiety and depression.
Prevent or minimize withdrawal symptoms
Many patients with a history of drug abuse consume multiple drugs. The health care provider must be made aware of all drug use so the patient may be effectively monitored to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
The impact of tolerance
Patients who are actively abusing drugs may have developed a tolerance that limits the effectiveness of drugs prescribed for a medical condition.
Treat chronic pain
Opioidregimens used for long-term control of medical symptoms are individualized for each patient so that the dosage is large enough to control symptoms. In patients with substance abuse histories, prescribing dosages that are not large enough may result in undertreatment of the symptoms. The undertreatment does not relieve the patient's pain, and may encourage drug abuse in an effort to control the symptoms. This behavior may cause the physician to become more cautious in prescribing opioids. The physician and patient must work together closely to determine the necessary dosage and to agree on guidelines for responsible use of therapeutic drugs.
Recognize drug abuse behaviors
While all patients who are prescribed drugs that may be abused must be monitored closely, monitoring is especially important for people who have a history of substance abuse. The patient may be reassessed frequently, and the patient's significant others may be asked to provide observations about the patient's drug use. The physician may find it appropriate to test the patient's urine for illegal or unprescribed drugs. If a patient is agreeable to drug testing and monitoring and uses prescribed drugs responsibly, a trusting relationship may be established with the physician. A physician who is confident that the patient will not abuse drugs is more likely to adjust therapies to control symptoms.
Use nondrug approaches
The patient may benefit from nondrug approaches, such as learning about the complexities of the medical system, communicating with the medical staff, and learning relaxation and coping techniques.
Taking a substance abuse history
To avoid offending a patient, a health care provider may choose not to ask about drug abuse. The health care provider may assume that the patient may become offended, angry, threatened, or may not tell the truth. Such attitudes are not helpful in establishing truthful communication between health care provider and patient and may cause problems in monitoring therapy.
A patient may withhold information about his or her drug use because of negative attitudes the health care provider may have about drug users. The patient may not trust the health care provider, or the patient may fear that if his/her drug abuse history is known, inadequate medication may be prescribed to control symptoms. The physician must know the patient's drug use history in order to control symptoms and to keep the patient comfortable by prescribing adequate medication to prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce pain. The physician needs to know which drugs the patient has taken, the length of time drugs have been used, the frequency of drug use, and the situations that cause the patient to use drugs.
Patients with current substance abuse problems who are scheduled to undergo surgery should, if possible, be admitted to the hospital several days early in order to stabilize drug use to prevent withdrawal and to plan treatment. To prevent the patient from obtaining illegal drugs, he or she may be given a room in a location that can be easily monitored, and he or she may be restricted to the room or the floor. Restrictions may also be placed on the patient's visitors. The patient's room as well as packages brought by visitors may be searched periodically for drugs or alcohol. The patient's urine may also undergo regular testing. The restrictions placed on the patient are necessary to ensure that medical treatment will not be jeopardized by ongoing drug use. Treatment should include frequent monitoring to prevent withdrawal and to control symptoms.
Ideally, outpatients who currently abuse drugs should be enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program; however, patients with advanced medical illnesses may not be able to be enrolled. The health care provider may outline for the patient the role of the treatment team, what is expected of the patient, and the consequences to the patient should he or she continue to abuse drugs while receiving treatment for medical illness. Patients must receive detailed instructions for taking prescribed drugs responsibly. They must be seen frequently so symptom control may be maintained and drug abuse may be monitored. Frequent visits also avoid the need to prescribe large amounts of drug at one time, and may help the patient stay on the treatment schedule and attend appointments with the physician. Some patients may find that a "twelve-step" program is helpful in stopping illegal drug use while they are receiving treatment.
Outpatients may be required to undergo periodic drug testing. The patient should be informed in advance of the consequences of a positive test. A urine test that indicates the patient is using illegal drugs may result in the need to visit the outpatient department more frequently, smaller quantities of prescribed drugs, referral to a drug rehabilitation program, or other restrictions.
If the patient lives with family members who are substance abusers, the family members can be encouraged to enroll in a drug treatment program to help the patient avoid illegal drugs and alcohol. The patient should also be aware that friends and family members may attempt to buy or steal the prescribed drugs. It is very helpful to identify people who will be supportive of the patient.
A treatment team that includes a specialist in addictionmedicine may be able to provide more effective treatment for the outpatient with a progressive medical disease and a history of substance abuse than can a single physician.
Patients who have successfully stopped abusing drugs or alcohol may be reluctant to begin using prescribed drugs for their medical illness for fear of developing an addiction. They may fear rejection from friends and family members who will object to their use of prescribed drugs, and they may fear that others will attempt to buy or steal the drugs. The health care provider should help the patient resolve these concerns and assure the patient that use of opioids to control symptoms of progressive disease does not result in the euphoria experienced by opioid abusers who do not have a medical illness.
If the patient is very reluctant to begin opioid therapy, the physician may develop strict guidelines for use of the prescribed drug to provide the patient with a sense of control. The patient may also be provided with counseling to help identify situations in which he or she is likely to abuse drugs or alcohol, and to develop strategies for avoiding future abuse of illegal or prescribed drugs.

Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Jake Tapper had a great idea: he called former New Jersey Governor and co-chairman of the September 11 Commission on the telephone to ask why Kean was so convinced that the terrorist finance program carried out through SWIFT was important and should not have been blown by the New York and Los Angeles Times:
What I wanted to understand: what would terrorists and those who wish the US harm know now, with the Friday disclosure of the program, that they wouldn't have already known from the first few weeks after 9/11 when President Bush announced that the administration would do everything it could to get all data from every bank around the world.
Kean said that when he was briefed by the Treasury Department on the program, "I was told very few people knew about this facility," which provides transaction processing services for over 7,000 financial organizations located in 194 countries worldwide.
"I was told that very few financial houses in this country knew about it; it was not well known even by people in banking," Kean said. "The terrorists didn't know the financial transactions went through this one group. Treasury told me, this was a method of financial tracking that people didn't understand, that nobody knew this was how things were done. Top-notch people in the US didn't even know."
"The second thing is that it took a long time to get this program set up. SWIFT is not US-controlled; we had to persuade them to cooperate, convince them that this was so important to the war on terrorism. It was a great coup when all these other countries agreed to go along."
All of that work may now be undone by the fecklessness of our newspapers. The Belgian government announced today that it will investigate the SWIFT program:
The Belgian government says it will look into U.S. data mining of private financial records held by SWIFT — a Brussels-based global banking entity.
"We need to ask what are the legal frontiers in this case and whether it is right that a U.S. civil servant could look at private transactions without the approval of a Belgian judge," government spokesman Didier Seus said Monday.
It appears likely that one way or another, SWIFT's cooperation may come to an end. Of course, it may not matter since, now that they know about SWIFT, the terrorists presumably can figure out how to carry out their transactions without creating a record there.

DisSqualified: first WIP opponent in the olympic KAL: WIPWrestling event!
Due to cumulative penalties of False Start, Stalling, and several Illegal Moves including a Full Nelson and a Scissor Hold, our initial nemesis was banished when the final violation of unsportsmanlike conduct & unnecessary roughness occurred!
The Whistle Blows and Opponent #2 makes its appearance on the Mat (erm, needles).
There's no crying in wrestling, my dears, and we're off with a new yarn and several tweaks to the knitting and pattern. Even though there's a deadline, we've had to go right back to Row 1!
And I'm glad :)
Designing something combines both theory and practice and sometimes (ha, many times) the two do not MERGE in an expected way and the item simply must be reknit. Case in point here: discovering too late into the making of the bodice that a fundamental process needed a slight change that would make or break the look of the project.
Problem: adjustment needs to begin from the start of the piece. Rip or Ignore?
Well actually, abandon ;p.
Deadlines allow for no rewinds at this pace: the original yarn will be recycled later and used for something else down the line but now is basically given a smokin' time out.
And then it's right back on the mat with #2!
And it's a lucky break! The second yarn choice is a marvelous improvement: better stitch evenness and definition, easier hand and tension.
And, believe it or not, I'm really enjoying myself once again :)

The agent of Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena feels the strong French influence at Newcastle in recent years is little more than a "fad".
With the Magpies strongly linked with a move for Valbuena's club and international team-mate Loic Remy during the January transfer window, as a replacement for the departed Demba Ba, the Premier League outfit have already clinched the signing of France's first-choice right-back Mathieu Debuchy this month.
And, despite Alan Pardew's squad already boasts the presence of six Frenchman - Debuchy, Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Gabriel Obertan, Sylvain Marveaux and Romain Amalfitano - Valbuena's agent Christophe Hutteau stated earlier last week that Valbuena would only consider a move to "one of the two Manchester clubs", he seemed to rule out Newcastle altogether yet again.
"He wouldn't go. You don't leave Marseille to go and play for Newcastle," Christophe Hutteau told French radio station RMC.
"It's just a fad. There was Arsenal, today it's Newcastle, tomorrow it'll be Liverpool or Chelsea."
Marseille are currently sit third in the Ligue 1 table, level on points with both Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain, in what promises to be a closely contested title race with only goal difference separating the three sides.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge is dismissing a key group of the many lawsuits against Facebook over its initial public offering in May, saying the plaintiffs did not show that they lost money because of corporate wrongdoing.
In the Wednesday ruling, Judge Robert Sweet of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York also agreed with Facebook's claims that the plaintiffs could not prove that they owned Facebook stock at the time of the alleged wrongdoing.
The lawsuits and other still remaining alleged that analysts at large underwriting investment banks cut their financial forecasts for Facebook just before the IPO and told only a handful of clients. Facebook and the banks say nothing about its process was illegal.
Facebook says it is pleased with the ruling.
