Pat Flower Analysis
(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
Comments from the brief reviews that Pat Flower has received for her mysteries have ranged from "unputdownable" to "clever and unobvious" to "a poor show." Her writing does vary in quality, with her later novels more successful than early efforts. She uses, however, similar techniques in both her police procedurals and her later psychological mysteries. Her plots are complex and take surprising turns, she aims for comic and ironic effects, she avoids the omniscient voice, and she misleads the reader by telling the story from the point of view of an uninformed or psychologically unstable character. Flower is ultimately interested in what lies beneath the surface of events and characters; in A Wreath of Water-Lilies (1960), she writes, "Once the surface gave way anywhere that part of the wall would collapse in chaos. Just as in this situation there were cracks in the surface . . . now the smooth civilized top layer was unreliable."
Unlike many mystery novels, however, Flower's mysteries, especially her novels of psychological suspense, do not reassure the reader that order will be restored, that the unjust will be punished and virtue rewarded. Indeed, her suspense novels often end with the disturbing notion that madness lies close at hand. Her police procedurals are only occasionally more comforting; the criminals are usually caught, but in such novels as Goodbye, Sweet William (1959), three murderers, who have, in Flower's ingenious plot, all independently killed the same man, go unpunished in a curious ironic twist. In Fiends of the Family (1966), three old women share the family trait of being a psychotic murderer. In A Wreath of Water-Lilies, the criminals are caught, but through no effort of Inspector Swinton, the ostensible detective, who has been on the wrong track through most of the book.
A Wreath of Water-Lilies
A Wreath of Water-Lilies breaks other conventions in addition to having a detective who comes up with the wrong answers. In it, Flower combines strong elements of farce with the expected progression of a mystery. Inspector Swinton of the Sydney police is sent to France to handle a sensitive matter involving a French diplomat and the scent of scandal. After he finishes his business and still regretting not being able to meet the great Inspector Maigret of the Sûreté, Swinton travels to Provence on a sightseeing tour. In a small village outside Marseilles, while quietly becoming drunk on Pernod, he meets Martha Tilley, an expatriate Australian who insists that he must stay a night at the château of her employer, Pearl Langham. The next morning, Swinton finds another of Pearl's guests, Ricard, dead in a pond; he knows immediately that it is murder, though the other guests assume that it was an accident.
The farcical plot elements surface on Swinton's first night at the château, and Flower makes it clear that this is her intent: Swinton comments that he feels part of "one of those English bedroom farces where the siren turns out to be engaged in some ridiculous business for a foreign power and the trusting, bumbling hero is saved by his own clumsiness and stupidity." The setting of a country house is perfect for a farce, and characters enter and exit rooms quickly, chatting brightly and drinking to excess. Swinton must endure two ludicrous seduction scenes. Echoing Aristophanes, Flower even introduces a nightly chorus of frogs, a sly comment on the follies of the characters.
The elements of coincidence that make a farce entertaining are, however, deadly to a mystery. Much of the plot of A Wreath of Water-Lilies depends heavily on coincidence: Swinton's meeting Martha in the village, overhearing bits of conversations, witnessing assignations, and spotting two of the suspects in the village on the day they claim to have spent in Marseilles. The most difficult plot element to accept is that the French police would let Swinton run an unofficial investigation at all, yet they apparently give him their...

Serena starts slow; Venus wins 6-0, 6-0 at Wimbledon Championships
As has become customary for Serena Williams of late, she got off to a rocky start.
In her first-round match at Wimbledon yesterday, Williams dropped three of the first four games. She slipped and nearly did the splits, tumbling to the turf. She was warned for using foul language. And, as has also become customary for Williams, she wound up with a victory.
The No. 1-seeded Williams extended her pursuit of a fourth consecutive major title and her bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam, too, by taking 11 of the last 13 games to beat 113th-ranked qualifier Margarita Gasparyan 6-4, 6-1. Williams has won her past 22 Grand Slam matches.
"There are a lot of expectations on her shoulders at the moment," said Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. "It took her maybe six games to get going. At three-all, she started to relax and play. And then there was no match."
Gasparyan came in 0-3 in tour-level matches, and was making her Wimbledon main-draw debut.
"When I (saw) her before match," Gasparyan said, "I thought, 'Oh, my God. I'm playing Serena'."
Yet the 20-year-old Russian played unafraid at the outset, and her one-handed backhand withstood Williams' power
for about a half-hour. Then, Gasparyan explained, Williams began playing "unbelievable", taking five straight games and 22 of 29 points in one stretch.
It was, otherwise, a mostly routine Day One for the biggest names on the schedule. Defen-ding champion Novak Djokovic, and the player he lost to in the French Open final this month - No. 4 Stan Wawrinka - won in straight sets. So did 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova and two other major title winners and former No. 1-ranked women, Victoria Azarenka and Ana Ivanovic.
If, a fortnight from now, the 33-year-old Williams were to win Wimbledon for a sixth time, she would be the oldest women's major champion in the Open era of professional tennis, which began in 1968. She also would complete a self-styled 'Serena Slam' of four major titles in a row, something she pulled off in 2002-03.
"It's definitely historic, I guess. But it's also six matches away," Williams said. "It's definitely not guaranteed."
good chance
And she would head to the US Open with a chance to become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four majors in a single season.
"It's a pretty good chance," Williams' older sister, Venus, said about the prospect of a true Grand Slam. "Hasn't been done that often. But then again, she's done a lot of things that haven't been done that often."
Venus Williams, whose seven Grand Slam titles include five at Wimbledon, could say the same about herself, including yesterday's 6-0, 6-0 victory over 36th-ranked Madison Brengle of the US.
It was the first so-called "double bagel" at the All England Club in six years - No. 14 Andrea Petkovic added another later against Shelby Rogers of the US - and first for the elder Williams on a grass court since her first match on the surface, back in 1997.
"I don't remember that match," she said. "I'm sure I enjoyed it."

Universal Structure
Understanding, acceptance and empowerment
Timothex Apollyon and Jennifer Lawrence will issue a speech to the citizens of
the kingdom covering the topics highlighted in this article.
"Citizens thank you for your patience and understanding during the 6000 years that have
passed. We understand that alot of you have endured turbulent times and wish to offer our
deepest condolences, you will be rewarded for your difficulties.
However now the time has come to transcend our kingdom to the highest levels of elevation.
To posses power that will empower our people for all eternity. Create infinite life experiences
and grant us all the power of the Gods. Beautiful souls of planet earth, once synchronization
to the new law is complete. You will receive the full extent of the Universal power. And you
will all be granted the opportunity to rule your own kingdom. Angels prove yourselves and
you may receive the same reward.
But I must say, power is weak without love. And love is what our kingdom was built on. We
must always pursue love or respect for our fellow citizens. Power is mute without the latter.
So honour the laws of the universe and pursue whatever your heart desires. The universe will
guide and care for you.
Together we will accomplish infinite existence.
United we will conquer the Universe."
The goal is to create a Universe where all creations can live harmoniously and
happily. The above shows the actions required to complete this task. These
tasks are of the highest priority and override all other projects. Once the entire
Universe is fully synchronized to the goals, full levels of elevation / magic can
be accessed. Sectors will be created where laws are void and creations are free
to act as they please. [ So long as innocent civilians are not effected in any way
shape or form ]
Teachers throughout all of history will be invited to teach and give lectures of
their choice, debates will also be held on many major topics. All Schools will be
housed in a 2 mega structures with a meeting point located in the center of
each structure where citizens can meet and enjoy various activities. Citizens
will receive a invitation to the school of their choosing / placement once they
reach a suitable age or are already eligible.
The structures will feature accommodation as citizens shall have the option to
remain at the school for the entirety of their course. This is apart of the overall
experience and will strengthen independence qualities. Although video
communication with family members is encouraged ; ). [ Citizens may cancel a
course at any time and select a new one ]
2 mega structures will be created one supporting pureness whilst the other will
support Universal citizens.
Ranging from Combat Skills, Magic, Pharmaceuticals, Mathematics, Literature,
Medicine, Fishing, Photography, Teaching, Law, Architecture, Trades, Science,
Religion, Tailoring, Hairdressing, Dentistry, Crafting, Engineering, Acting,
Musical abilities, Mining, Cooking, Social Etiquette, Vehicles, ICT, Business,
Therapy, Veterinary, Gardening, Economy, etc etc etc.
Love | Unity | Loyalty | Respect | Humility | Honour | Selflessness
High ranking officials law: Never inconvenience a innocent civilian. Never abuse
power for self-gain.
Women and Children are the highest priority and overrule all command lines.
( Unless Universal laws are broken )
Timothex Apollyon and Emma Stone will guard the entire structure and ensure
corruption is eliminated after loving care.
A council of 7 people will be established to monitor and rule the Universe.
777,777 souls will be selected to guide the council and speak on behalf of the
Universe. This committee will be divided into three different groups. Light,
Dark and Universal.
Citizens of the Universe will have access the to all levels of power and every
suggestion will be utilized in-order to better our Universe. ( Minor screening
process in-place)
Trained in the Abyss via X7 combat programs lethal logical creations built to
monitor the Universe.
Made up of three factions Light, Dark and Universal.
X7LAW will use love and logic and understanding to keep citizens in line with
the Universal laws. After all possible loving methods have been utilized the
citizen will be sent to trial where the creation in question shall face death, exile
or righteous retribution in the Abyss.
A committee will be assembled for each sector that will monitor all citizens and
officials. If corruption is shown the committee will decide on what level of
X7Law to send.
X7Law will be divided into 2 sections. Love and Death. Loving agents will
correct a variety of domestic problems and most crimes. Death agents will be
deployed for high levels of corruption.
Will not interfere with domestic problems unless
a innocent civilian feels threatened, and or a request is sent.
Council will have access to necessary data streams
Anointed will have access to necessary data streams
Citizens will have no access to data streams

What You Need to Know About Vape E-juice
If you have been smoking for a couple of years, you must have heard about vaping. For beginners, vaping is the use of electronic vaporizers or cigarettes that heat up great e-juices. You will only inhale the vapor which is usually rich in nicotine. The difference between this trend and smoking cigarettes the traditional way is that the nicotine has great flavors. The habit is becoming popular at high rates which means in the future a bigger percentage of smoking will get into this habit as opposed to average smoking.
It is important to get your own electronic cigarette if you want to adopt vaping. With the use of the e-cigarette, you can heat your e-juice up to 204C. After the vapor is produced, you will inhale it through the mouth to get into your lungs. The main ingredients of e-juice is glycol or glycerin. These are the products you need to make different flavors which are used in food. Pharmaceutical companies use these ingredients as well to make flavors for different medication which means they are safe for use in cigarettes. The vapor from heating the e-juice has no harm when breathed in.
E-juice vapor has been confirmed to be non-carcinogenic which means it is safer to use compared to smoking the average kinds of cigarettes. You do not even have to add nicotine to the juice when vaping if you are only interested in getting the flavors. Given the number of different flavors available, you will not fail to get several which can make your vaping experience great. The best part is that you can get tropical mix as well as meat flavors. If you are interested in vaping and have never tried due to concerns about your health, you should go ahead because it cannot compromise your well-being.
Many people who are beginners worry about the nicotine strength they should start with. You may not find a definite measure of the nicotine you should order but you can use the taste to make a choice. If the nicotine level makes your throat or mouth uncomfortable, you have to tone down. You can make adjustments on the level you tolerate better over time as you find the sweet spots. This is one of the most inexpensive routines for people who are struggling with nicotine addiction. For better results when attempting to quit use of nicotine, the nicotine intake should be rescued over time so that the user does not suffer from fatal withdrawal symptoms. Once you find yourself able to vape and get satisfied without use of nicotine, you will have achieved great results from vaping.

This year, the Lowesmoor House Christmas Appeal is for Maggs Day Centre. Maggs offers a variety of support for homeless people through offering a warm and welcoming place to take refuge, supplying clothes and a good meal, or just simply being there to listen and offer comfort.
Did you know it is estimated that 5-10% of homeless people have a companion animal? In a difficult existence, dogs can provide companionship and support for a homeless person – a friendly face who is always there for their buddy through thick and thin (I couldn't imagine life without Mom). Just as many of you readers love your dog and would do anything for them, the same is true for homeless people - many will put their dog's wellbeing before their own.
I consider myself a very lucky dog. When your only worry is whether your buddy Ted might chew Raggy Lamb (my favourite toy!) then it puts things into perspective. I would like to think that if circumstances ever changed, there would be someone out there who would want to help me - so why not join the Lowesmoor Christmas Appeal and give a dog a Christmas dinner?!
Are you able to donate any of the following?
If so, please pop them in to Lowesmoors' collection box, which is in the reception area. I'll certainly be putting a bag of something tasty in there for a fellow pooch.
For more information on Maggs Day Centre, and other ways you can help, go to their website.

If very thin wire such as enamelled copper or very thin flat riboon are used then maybe these can go under the door seal without compromising this but probably won't look great from the outside depending how much of it you can see, otherwise you're looking for a natural aperture or perhaps where a tiny one can be safely drilled through the back and later sealed around the wire. Of course even if you get the sensor in you then have the question of where might be best to place it. Next to the existing thermostat sensor might I suppose be one place.

Zinc supplementation
Zinc is an essential trace element involved in many enzymes systems. Severe deficiency causes skin lesion, alopecia, diarrhea, increased susceptibility to infections and failure to thrive in children. Symptoms of less severe deficiency include distorted or absent perceptions of taste and smell and poor wound healing.
Pharmacokinetic properties
Oral Rehydration Salts
Glucose has been shown to greatly enhance the absorption of salts and water. The concentration used in G-Oral Plus is very effective and has been demonstrated as giving a twenty five-fold enhancement of absorption compared with isotonic saline. Also, as the solution is more palatable, patient compliance is increased.
Zinc supplementation
Zinc is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. Plasma zinc levels range from 70 to 110µg/dL and about 50% of this is loosely bound to albumin. About 7% is amino-acid bound and the rest is tightly bound to alpha 2-macroglobulins and other proteins.
Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) is primarily indicated for the replacement of fluid and electrolytes and maintenance of hydration in diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating of varied etiology and other conditions where there is a loss of water and electrolytes. Continue treatment until diarrhea stops/dehydration is corrected or as directed by physician.
Zinc Sulfate is a source of zinc which is an essential trace element and involved in a number of body enzyme systems and used for the treatment of zinc deficiency.
Method of administration
ORS: Dissolve entire contents of one sachet in 1 litre of freshly boiled and cooled water. Stir until powder is completely dissolved. Do not boil solution after constitution. Use within 24 hours of reconstitution.
Zinc supplementation: Zinc tablets must be given once a day and repeat every day until the course is complete. Zinc Sulfate tablets may be dispersed in (5ml) breast milk or freshly boiled and cooled water on a tablespoon. Older children can swallow the tablet with water.
Oral Rehydration Salts: Infants – 1 lire over 24 hours period.
Child – 1 litre over 8 – 24 hours period, according to the age.
Adult – Drink freely as required.
Zinc supplementation: Adult – 1 tablet once daily
Children – 6 month – 12 years one tablet once daily
Children less than 6 months – half (1/2) tablet should be dissolved in 5ml of water once daily or as prescribed by physician.
Warning and precaution
Oral Rehydration Salts
Use with caution in patients with pre-existing blood disorders, gout, dental disease, liver disease or heart disease. These are not appropriate for patients with gastrointestinal obstruction, oliguric or anuric renal failure oral rehydration salts should be reconstituted only with water.
Zinc supplementation
Zinc Sulfate Tablets may interfere with uptake of certain antibiotics, penicillamine, sodium valporate, ethambul etc. Do not co-administer Zinc Sulfate tablets with above drugs.
Side effects
Oral zinc sulfate supplements can cause side effects such as heartburn and nausea. Rare side effects include fever, sore throat, mouth sores, weakness and fatigue. Excessive use of ORS can cause swelling of the limbs, sickness, diarrhea, stomach paints, thirst, dry mouth, fever, headache, dizziness, restlessness, irritability, weakness, increased sodium and potassium levels.
Oral Rehydration Salts
In oral electrolyte replacement therapy, toxicity is rare in previously healthy people. In subjects with renal impairment, hypenatremia and hyperkalemia might occur.
In the event of significant overdose serum electrolytes should be evaluated by means of full biochemical profile under hospital conditions and the physician should take the appropriate measures. This is particularly important in the very young and in cases of severe hepatic or renal failure.
Zinc supplementation
Zinc sulfate is corrosive in overdosage. Symptoms are corrosion and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and stomach; ulceration of the stomach followed by perforation may occur. Gastric lavage and emesis should be avoided. Demulcents such as milk should be given. Chelating agents such as sodium calcium edentate may be useful.
G-Oral Plus is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to ORS and Zinc or any component of the product.

QUANG NAM (VNS) — Frequent earthquakes in the central province of Quang Nam's Bac Tra My District near the Song Tranh hydro-power plant have worried thousands of local people.
The latest earthquake, measuring 2.6 on the Richter scale, struck the area on Monday morning, the fifth recorded in the area since early this month, including one on Sunday.
No injuries have been reported and officials say there has been no damage to the dam.
Dinh Thi Hoa, a resident of Tra Tan commune, said she heard what sounded like a big explosion while she was sleeping on Monday.
"The floor shook and my whole family ran out of the house for fear that it might collapse," she said.
The chairman of Tra Doc commune Peoples' Committee, Ho Van Loi, said earthquakes had occurred near the hydropower plant for the past four years, but their frequency had increased in recent months.
He proposed that, to calm people, authorities send experts to the region to do more research and make clear conclusions about the cause and possible effects of the earthquakes.
Head of Bac Tra My District's Office for Agriculture and Rural Development Huynh Ngoc Thieu said local authorities were well prepared to cope with earthquakes. He said there were plenty of rescue vehicles and forces.
If necessary, people should be evacuated from dangerous areas, he added.
In response to the worries, Deputy Director of Song Tranh Hydropower Company Nguyen Van Lan said the magnitude of the earthquakes had not exceeded the limits of the reservoir's technical strength.
The plant would be secure even if quakes of more than 5.5 magnitude occurred, he said.
The company has worked with experts from the Institute of Geophysics to continue studying on the situation.
After each earthquake, the company inspected the operation of the hydropower plant's dam around the clock to ensure its safety.
They also worked with local authorities to check local households to provide "timely support if needed", he said.
Some experts believe the quakes occurred because of seismic activity caused by the pressure of water stored in the hydropower reservoir.
The quakes began in earnest after the Song Tranh 2 dam began operation at the end of 2010.
About 25 tremors were recorded near the hydropower plant from October 3 to November 16 in 2012.
The biggest quake recorded so far was an earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale two years ago. It affected 13 districts and townships in the province and damaged more than 1,000 houses and 20 public sites. — VNS

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving program. Team members work together at length to solve a predefined long-term problem and present their solution to the problem at a competition. Western Sky's 7th and 8th Grade Team won 2nd place at both Regionals and State Competitions! Congratulations to this team with coaches Mrs. Barton & Mr. Hansen.
The problem this year was "Opposites Distract." Disagreements can distract groups from seeing the bigger picture. Teams had to create and present a humorous performance about a sneaky character that distracts others while trying to take control of anything the team wishes. In the performance, this character lures others into silly arguments. The arguments had to be presented using different dramatic styles and include attention-getting effects. In the end, the group learns that they have been intentionally distracted and will catch the sneaky character before he/she takes control.
Team members must be creative and willing to put in many hours to plan, practice, and present their performance. We are proud of this team who showed that hard work pays off!
A few of the team members present when the Governing Board recognized their achievements.

It's interesting to see how a few design features can drastically transform an apartment, giving it a whole new look and feel. Metamorphosed, this high-end apartment is now the perfect place to return to after a hectic day of meetings, negotiations and deadlines. Ensconced in a quiet and exclusive neighborhood in the capital, it is peaceful but not boring. It is a bachelor's pad that reflects a penchant for luxury and indulgence. Very masculine in every which way, its high ceiling and open feel makes it sit smart on the first floor of a renovated modern building. The original outlay of four bedrooms was ripped open to make way for lavish private rooms, indulgent bathrooms and living areas. It is now a smart two bedroom residence, well meeting the requirements of a young man. Tall and burly ceiling-height swivel doors stand like sentinels to warmly usher in guests.
The tall swivel doors, charcoal walls and a collage of wall lights are Raseel's foot soldiers, all of them put on double duty to quickly makeover the ambient mood. For instance, open the doors and the house becomes one continuous length of unobstructed space; turn on the lights and the warm glow makes the charcoal grey walls amber—when switched off, these large lights work as wall installations.
Broadly, the apartment is segregated into the left and the right wing with the former being the more public area, and the right wing being the private quarters; the foyer with its fixed window filters in a flood of natural light.
The home is replete with gizmos that would be the envy of any young man. Fuss-free and subtle, the clean lines, textures and gadgets tell the story of an enterprising, creative man who knows what he wants. The entertainment area resonates with a particularly edgy vibe. Deep-seated, comfortable leather sofas, the smart, modern bar counter and the wine cellar on the wall are the show-stealers here. The formal living and dining area and the bar merge into one wide open space.

The investigators calculated the annual percentage of physicians in each specialty that faced a claim.
Most Physicians Will Face Malpractice ClaimsAugust 17, 2011 12:54 PMWhile most physicians in the United States will face a malpractice lawsuit at some time in their careers, a new study finds the vast majority of those suits will not result in payment to a plaintiff.
The report, which will appear in the Aug. 18 edition of The New England Journal of Medicine, provides the most comprehensive analysis of the risk of malpractice claims by physician specialty in more than two decades and finds that the annual chance of a claim varies from around 5 percent in low-risk specialties to nearly 20 percent in specialties at the highest risk.
"Physicians in any specialty are generally interested in knowing how likely they are to face a malpractice claim, whether they are likely to make a payment and how large such a payment would be," said Anupam B. Jena, a member of the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and the study's lead author. "Naturally, physicians in each specialty believe they are getting sued more often than average. But while anecdotes abound, actual facts on who is getting sued and for how much have been unavailable until now. Identifying which specialties are most likely to face frequent litigation may help guide malpractice reform."
Jena and his colleagues at the Harvard Kennedy School, the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at USC and the RAND Corporation analyzed claims information covering the years 1991 to 2005 from a major malpractice insurer operating in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Schaeffer Center is a collaboration of the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) and the USC School of Pharmacy.
Data collected reflected more than 230,000 physician-years of coverage involving almost 41,000 individual physicians. The investigators calculated the annual percentage of physicians in each specialty that faced a claim, distinguished claims that led to a payment - either from a court decision or an out-of-court settlement - and measured the size of those payments. They also determined which specialties faced higher or lower risks of either facing a claim or making a payment and calculated the career-long risks of facing claims for high- and low-risk specialties.
During each year of the study period, 7.4 percent of all physicians had a claim filed against them, but only 1.6 percent made a malpractice payment. Specialties with the highest risk of facing a claim were neurosurgery (19.1 percent), thoracic and cardiovascular surgery (18.9 percent) and general surgery (15.3 percent). The lowest risks were seen in family medicine (5.2 percent), pediatrics (3.1 percent) and psychiatry (2.6 percent). However, only about 20 percent of all claims actually led to a payment, and those specialties most likely to face claims were not always most likely to pay claims. The average claim payment was almost $275,000, and the cumulative career risk of facing a malpractice claim was 99 percent in the high-risk and 75 percent in low-risk specialties.
"We were surprised that the probability of facing at least one malpractice claim over the average physician's career was so high and particularly that so many claims did not result in payment," said Amitabh Chandra, professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and corresponding author of the report. "The malpractice insurance that physicians purchase does not insure them from the emotional costs of being involved in litigation. These 'hassle costs' have no social value, and given the frequency of litigation, our findings support physicians' perceptions of the inefficiency of the current malpractice system."
Co-author Seth Seabury, a member of RAND, added: "It is a near certainty that, over a lengthy career, a physician in a high-risk specialty will be accused of malpractice, but the vast majority of these suits will be unsuccessful. Calls for system reform will persist until a way is found to promote faster, less costly resolution of these claims while maintaining fair compensation for deserving patients."
Study co-author Darius Lakdawalla, director of research at the Schaeffer Center and associate professor at SPPD, concluded, "In the final analysis, everyone entering the field of medicine, no matter their specialty, can be reasonably confident that they will eventually face a malpractice claim. That speaks to the pervasiveness of malpractice litigation and the hold of the legal system over the medical profession."
The study was supported by grants from the RAND Institute for Civil Justice and the National Institute on Aging.
8 ways to avoid scrutiny by state and federal regulatory agencies By Alan I. Kaplan
The California Medical Board, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Medicare and Medi-Cal have all been created to protect the public interest, and to regulate the practice of medicine. Although the constitution requires due process, none of these agencies are focused on ensuring fairness for physicians. As a result, physicians under investigation must be prepared to demonstrate that they are innocent of any wrongdoing, a process that can become ruinously expensive and time consuming. It's better to take the first line of defense. Here are eight strategies to avoid attracting the attention of governmental auditors and investigators in the first place.
In order to understand and adapt these recommendations to your own circumstances, you must understand the basic political realities that drive the actions of government investigators. For example, the California Medical Board is appointed by the Governor, who, in turn, is (not surprisingly) sensitive to public opinion which, in turn, is (again not surprisingly) heavily influenced by articles in the news media criticizing the Board for being "too soft on doctors." These articles, which are often occasioned by public events such as a celebrity drug overdose, or large malpractice awards [ital]do[ital] sell newspapers. The resultant pressure on the Governor translates to pressure on the Board's administrative staff to produce more license revocations. The Board actually publishes revocation statistics on its website, and public comment at Board meetings often focuses on why the Board has not revoked more licenses this year as compared to last. Other agencies similarly gage their effectiveness (and their annual appropriations requests) on the number of doctors they have disciplined each year. As a result, agencies are typically anxious to find opportunities to investigate and discipline as many physicians as possible.
A variety of situations attract the attention of government investigators, and avoiding them should be a high priority for every physician.
1. Avoid conflict with ex-employees. This is especially true for office managers and bookkeepers. Every physician must delegate management of certain sensitive business matters to office managers, bookkeepers and others. These individuals become aware of confidential matters which, under the wrong circumstances, can attract disastrous government scrutiny, whether or not the physician has done anything wrong. The physician who fires their office manager for dishonesty, and reports them to law enforcement, runs the risk that the ex-employee will seek to divert attention from their misconduct by accusing the physician of billing fraud. In order to "stay under the radar," physicians who terminate employees must try to motivate the employee to maintain a positive relationship with them and, in cases of employee misconduct, carefully weigh their options, and consult with counsel, before taking any action;
2. Diffuse adversarial interactions with patients. Patient complaints are given high priority by all government agencies. It is easy to file a complaint, as each agency's website enthusiastically informs visitors. A patient who, for example, is dissatisfied with their disability award may conclude that their physician did not do enough to help them. Patients who have not paid their medical bill can create "counterclaims" for improper care. Cultural issues and language barriers can give rise to major misunderstandings, particularly between female patients and male physicians. Every physician must instruct their staff to be ultra-sensitive to patient expressions of dissatisfaction, and to report these to the physician who can then take appropriate steps to resolve the patient's concerns, even involving intermediaries where appropriate. Special care is warranted when deciding whether to send an unpaid receivable to a collection agency. These decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis.
3. Assess and regulate your statistical profile. Many agencies screen providers using computerized "data mining" techniques to answer questions such as: Compared to other similarly situated physicians, How many abdominal ultrasounds does Doctor A prescribe or conduct? What volume of controlled substances does Doctor A purchase or prescribe? How many e/m codes of level 4 or higher does Doctor A bill? What are Doctor A's per capita billings, particularly where "adjunct providers" such as physician assistants are used? How many of Doctor A's patients are "shared" with other physicians who provide duplicate services? All of this information is easily available to state and federal regulatory agencies at the click of a mouse. All of it can easily invite scrutiny. It is crucial that every physician be aware of their statistical profile and to what degree they are a "statistical outlier." Statistical information is available from various sources on the internet including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website, the CURES and ARCOS databases and through various organizations affiliated with the California Medical Association and the American Medical Association. Any "educational" letters from a regulatory agency advising the physician of "outlier" problems usually indicate that the physician is a possible target. Such letters must be treated very seriously.
4. Make your record-keeping practices transparent. Over the past ten years, the quality of medical record keeping has gradually improved and the degree of scrutiny caused by cryptic, illegible physician notes has increased. Investigators from the Medical Board, Medicare, DEA, and the insurance industry, commonly treat medical records like a reporter's transcript. One hears the folksy (and utterly unsupportable) adage: "if it ain't recorded, it didn't happen." Fortunately, the availability and quality of electronic health record systems is increasing at a rapid rate, and the cost is declining, with the vigorous support of the Obama administration. There are also many standardized forms in general circulation that, if properly filled in and annotated, will satisfy most regulators and expert reviewers. Medical documentation that contains full patient histories, interval histories and physical examination findings, coupled with evidence that the physician has recently undergone a medical record keeping course, are factors that will discourage the more vigorous investigations and audits.
5. Use internal audits appropriately. The Office of Inspector General mandates that every physician periodically audit their own medical records and, upon discovery of any errors, that they refund any overpayments. Contrary to ordinary logic (remember we are dealing with the government here) sending occasional refunds to payers generally has the affect of discouraging further government scrutiny, if for no other reason than because it distinguishes a physician from the vast numbers of their brethren who never conduct internal audits, and never make refunds. While no government agency will expressly admit this, it has been this writer's experience of 30 years that appropriately conducted internal audits coupled with periodic refunds in almost any amount act as a powerful deterrent to government scrutiny. There are a variety of consultants available who will perform or assist in this process, and the physician's own billers will often have the necessary skill.
6. Avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement. Almost anything a physician does that invites law enforcement scrutiny (for example, being arrested for driving under the influence, tax evasion, reckless driving, shoplifting, and so on) will be reported to the Medical Board. The commission of any crime can indicate that the physician's judgment is impaired. This will then engage the scrutiny of the Medical Board and other agencies as well. The advice for the practicing physician is simple: in order to avoid the loss of your medical license, avoid any conduct that can result in criminal charges or arrests.
7. Encourage your staff to report suspicious activity by patients. Federal and state agencies have been known to use undercover operatives or informants who pose as patients. Suspicious activity that can indicate the presence of an operative includes: attractive, young (often female) patients complaining about conditions that warrant prescriptions for pain medications and other controlled substances; new patients who arrive without an appointment; patients who ask for controlled substance prescriptions before they are examined, and patients who socialize excessively with your staff. When the presence of an operative is suspected, the physician should take a more extensive history to probe for inconsistencies, reach the patient's previous physician by telephone and review previous medical documentation before prescribing controlled substances.
8. Avoid business arrangements with non-physicians that attract scrutiny. Any medical practice that is, or appears to be, run by a non-physician can easily draw the attention of investigators because the non-medical "manager" will often encourage billing practices that increase cash flow at the price of the physician's integrity. It is therefore crucial that practitioners verify exactly who they are working for and make sure that individual or entity is a licensed healthcare provider.

Edna, the oldest of five children, grew up through the Great Depression. Her belief as the eldest was to keep everything running. It was her job to help raise he siblings. As a young adult in movie theater, during a news reel saw a friend die while storming the beach at Normandy. Did her part to support the cause of World War II.
Edna married Johnny and they had three kids. When Johnny's Step Mother asked him to help run an Orange and Olive ranch, the family moved. All three kids have stories to tell about squirrel shooting, burning tires on frosty nights to save the oranges and working together.
|Photo by Sgarton
When Edna and Johnny retired, they moved back to the Central Valley small town. Edna went to work at a doctor's office. Johnny worked in an appliance store. If there was something in their community to be involved in, Edna was there. Somehow she held command of a room filled with people.
I met Edna in the late 1970s. We moved from Utah to California. My Dad, fresh from the military, looked diligently for employment. My Mom early in pregnancy, a little sister who was three and I in third grade lived together in the spare room. It was an adjustment for all of us. She and my Grandpa Johnny had strong opinions about everything. Often exchanged views in the kitchen. Edna made it very clear to me what rooms I was allowed into and where I was not. What could be touched and what was to be left alone.
Both of my parents were visibly uncomfortable when they left for their weekly card games and bowling league. Often they smelled strangely when they came home. Parents reluctantly explained to me about cigarettes and alcohol.
As much as Grandma Edna and Grandpa Johnny scared me, I was also intrigued by them. In the quiet my parents discussed their need for salvation, but we all attended church together. I liked their pastor. The Congregational Church seemed to have air within its walls, music and we could all sit together. Children were welcome in service. After a time of worship, the pastor would call all the kids up for a story. Then we would run to our classes. It felt like an honest, whole body.
The Aunt and Uncle who lived in town seemed nice. Aunt was Grandma Edna's daughter. Their relationship seemed filled with love and laughter. Aunt and Uncle had two teenage kids. Grandma Edna and Grandpa Johnny doted on them.
My Dad found a job and we moved into a neighboring town. Sister Three was born, Sister Two toddled around and I landed into my Third school of the year. Three schools in Third Grade is a story for another time. Two years later Sister Four entered the world
Once in our own rhythm, the visits with Grandma Edna and Grandpa Johnny were limited to holidays and an occasional weekend when Parents needed to go out of town. The relationship, however, never changed. It was cordial always but what Grandma said went. No one disagreed with her. We watched golf and played Yatzee for fun. Otherwise we were expected to be quiet and play with our own toys.

The API is HTTP based and uses a REST approach for objects inside the system. All requests and responses follow the same pattern, so you'll know what to expect for each request.
The main functions for a REST-based api include HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform all the basic CRUD operations on an object.
GET /:object
|List this objects
GET /:object/id
|Show contents of an object
POST /:object
|Create an object
PUT /:object/:id
|Update an object
DELETE /:object/:id
|Delete an object
When requesting data via a command-line tool like curl, you can choose the format in which to send your POST requests. You can send it either in http-request format, or in JSON format.
Here's an example of creating a note in http request format:
curl -v -X POST \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -d "note[content]=note all the things¬e[deal_id]=237" \ "https://api.pipelinedeals.com/api/v3/notes.json?api_key=abc1234"
And here's the same request being made in JSON format:
curl -v -X POST \ -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" \ -d '"note": { "content": "note all the things", "deal_id": 237 }' \ "https://api.pipelinedeals.com/api/v3/notes.json?api_key=abc1234"
For both requests, the response comes back as:
{ "user_id": 1, "company_id": 5, "title": null, "updated_at": "2012/05/25 11:36:37 -0400", "note_category": { "name": "Phone Call", "id": 1 }, "created_at": "2012/02/14 18:49:00 -0500", "deal_id": 2, "note_category_id": 1, "user": { "first_name": "admin", "last_name": "nick", "id": 1, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/pipelinedeals/avatars/1/thumb/newavatar.png" }, "person_id": 4, "id": 2, "content": "note test22" }
Here is an example of getting the contents of a deal.
GET /api/v3/deals/1234.json?api_key=abc1234
A breakdown of the request:
api_key of the user in the account who is making the request.
Responses will always be in JSON format.
The success or failure of a request will be accompanied by a HTTP Code.
|Everything worked fine
|A validation error had occurred
|Rate limit exceeded, or you are not hitting the correct url. Please refer to the error message that came with the code.
|An internal error has occurred, this is probably not your fault.
All requests allow you to specify individual attributes that come back, in case you do not need to pay attention to every attribute.
You can enable this by passing
attrs parameter with a comma-separated list of attributes you want back.
GET /api/v3/people.json?api_key=abcd1234&attrs=id,last_name
You can make up to 5 requests per second. Once you exceed 5 requests, you will need to wait before making additional requests. This allows you to use the API within a web request cycle for up to 10 calls with no "sleep" in between.
If you have a registered API application, you can make up to 10 requests per second without being limited. To register your API application, please contact us.

Megan Neville
Departmental Lecturer
- Senior Postdoctoral Research Assistant
I initially trained as a yeast geneticist, first in the laboratory of Professor Manuel Ares at the University of California Santa Cruz, where I became interested in the biology of mRNA regulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I pursued my interest in yeast genetics and cell biology during my PhD with Professor Michael Rosbash at Brandeis University. My PhD thesis involved the characterization of the nuclear export signal-mediated transport pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After my PhD, I moved to Glasgow, Scotland and decided to pursue a long time interest in Drosophila genetics. Since joining the Goodwin lab (both in Glasgow and after our move to Oxford in 2009), I have been studying the molecular role the male-specific transcription factor Fruitless plays in establishing sex-specific behaviours.
Research Summary
Innate and species-specific behaviours depend on complex genetic networks that act during development to generate ordered neuronal circuitry. Male courtship behaviour in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is regulated by the gene fruitless (fru), and is an ideal system for studying the connection between genes and behaviour. Fru proteins are BTB-Zn-finger transcription factors, found exclusively in the male nervous system. By studying how Fru orchestrates the developmental decisions that generate a sexually dimorphic nervous system, we can understand how it ultimately influences male-specific behaviours. I study the molecular basis underlying fru's role in defining the neuronal circuits underlying male sexual behaviour.

LIRR adds trains for St. Patrick's Day
Trains added for St. Patrick's Day
The Long Island Rail Road is adding 16 extra trains -- 10 eastbound, six westbound -- to accommodate thousands of expected additional customers traveling into and out of Manhattan for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade tomorrow.
The railroad announced it also will enforce a systemwide alcohol ban, in effect from 12:01 a.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday. That ban pertains to trains, platforms and stations, the railroad said.
Four of the additional eastbound trains will be on the Babylon branch, while three are on the Port Jefferson branch and one each on the Ronkonkoma, Port Washington and Far Rockaway branches. For the six additional westbound trains, three are on the Babylon branch, two on Port Jefferson and one on Ronkonkoma. _ JOHN VALENTI
Bidding extended for park cleanup
The bidding period for the contract to clean up an estimated 50,000 tons of contaminated debris from Roberto Clemente Park in Brentwood was to end last Thursday but has been extended, town officials said.
The harsh winter has hindered potential contractors' views of the site because of snow, said Eric Hofmeister, Islip Town's deputy supervisor. The bidding is now set to close March 26.
"We feel that it's appropriate to give all of these bidders ample time to do the proper research and to digest all of the responses that we've given," Hofmeister said of the various questions that have been submitted to the town in writing by the prospective bidders. "We thought it would also be prudent to give them the opportunity to see what the fill looks like prior to bidding."
Hofmeister, while saying the town has gotten a "healthy number of bidders," declined to specify a figure. He said the town is not concerned about an extra two weeks tacked on to the already-behind-schedule timeline to clean up the park. Town officials once estimated the first truckloads of debris would be carted out of the park by the end of November.
"It should result in us getting better and more informed bids which, overall, is a good thing for all parties involved," Hofmeister said.
Bid specifications first went on sale Jan. 29 for a $125 nonrefundable fee. Those interested can pick up the papers upon payment from the Department of Engineering at 1 Manitton Ct. in Islip.
Clemente Park, owned by the Town of Islip, is one of four sites in and around the town identified by Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota where contaminated fill was illegally dumped. Two former town parks officials -- former Commissioner Joseph J. Montuori Jr. and his former secretary, Brett A. Robinson -- were indicted Dec. 8 for their alleged roles in helping facilitate the dumping at the park. Four other men and four companies were also indicted on various charges stemming from Spota's probe.
Town officials have not been able to give timelines of how long it will be before work could begin, when it could finish or when the park could reopen. Clemente Park has been closed nearly a year, since April 23, 2014. - SARAH ARMAGHAN
Board approves plan on land program
The Brookhaven Town Board has unanimously approved a formal plan for land acquisition and management, despite concerns it may have been hastily prepared.
The nine-page plan, adopted Thursday after the board had discussed a draft three days earlier, outlines goals for the town's land program, potential funding sources, possible uses of properties and prescribed methods for evaluating potential land purchases.
Supervisor Edward P. Romaine said the town had lacked a written plan, leading to confusion about the program.
"We have no policy in place, so this is a starting point," he said before the board adopted the plan. "It's better to have some policy than no policy. . . . This policy may be, for some people, not perfect, but at least it's a policy."
Councilman Kevin LaValle supported the plan, though he said it did not address plans for "water activities," such as kayaking. Councilwoman Valerie Cartright, echoing concerns of several residents who spoke at the meeting, said the plan should have been presented for a public discussion before the board voted.
"I think it's important to give people an opportunity to speak," said Cartright, who said she would organize community meetings to discuss the plan.
Romaine invited residents and town officials to suggest changes, which he said could be incorporated into the plan. - CARL MACGOWAN
Free training on drug overdose antidote
Suffolk County health officials plan to offer a free training seminar in Port Jefferson Station on the use of naloxone to treat drug overdose victims.
Legis. Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said in a news release the training session would be held at 7 p.m. on March 31 at Comsewogue Public Library, 170 Terryville Rd.
Participants will learn to recognize an overdose and administer naloxone, an opioid antagonist also known as Narcan, Hahn said. She said she sponsored legislation in 2013 that led to the county Department of Health Services becoming a certified Narcan training center.
"It is important that nonmedical personnel get trained to administer Narcan because it is often the family and friends of a victim who are first on the scene when someone is overdosing," Hahn said in a statement. "I believe that there needs to be as many people as possible trained on what to do if they encounter such a horrific situation."
Participants must be more than 18 years old and must register in advance by calling Hahn's office, 631-854-1650. - CARL MACGOWAN
Museum to host housing seminar
The Nassau County Firefighters Museum & Education Center is hosting a seminar on March 25 on affording a home on Long Island.
When young people find it hard to own a home and choose to live elsewhere, the pool of potential volunteer firefighters dwindles, officials said.
The free event will be held at 7 p.m. at the museum, 1 Davis Ave.
The presentation will be made by Thomas M. Sullivan, mortgage manager at Evolve Bank & Trust in Commack and graduate of LIU Post.
"I want to help my fellow Long Islanders -- especially the volunteer firefighters -- remain in the communities where they grew up," Sullivan said.
The discussion is to include information about first-time home buyer programs, an overview of traditional loan programs such as conventional, FHA, VA, and details on things to consider when deciding whether to buy a house, condo or co-op.
Seating capacity is limited to 50 people.
To attend, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 516-572-4177, ext. 4. If space is available, walk-ins will be admitted. - SID CASSESE
Service day to honor efforts by local youth
The Smithtown Youth Bureau and Youth Advisory Board plan to hold the 6th annual Global Youth Service Day on April 25, honoring dozens of local students for giving back to their communities.
The event allows individuals and groups younger than 21 to showcase their service learning projects, said Stacey Sanders, executive director of the youth bureau.
The worldwide service day, organized by Youth Service America, was created in 2000 after the group led service days across the country beginning in 1988.
Sanders said the event, which draws participation by millions internationally, recognizes the efforts of young people and their community service activities.
"There are 100 countries across six continents that participate in Global Youth Service Day," she said, and the Smithtown youth demonstrate that they are involved "in something bigger than themselves."
Past Smithtown student projects have included cleaning and beautifying areas around town, creating an anti-bullying website, hosting pet drives for the Smithtown Animal Shelter and volunteering at St. Johnland Nursing Center.
Applications can be downloaded at www.smithtownny.gov/youthbureau under the announcements tab. For more information, call 631-360-7595. - LAUREN R. HARRISON

Acid Attacked Women Display Beauty
Sex Trafficking: Experiencing Restoration, but Still Running
My very smart sister is getting a Masters degree in Social Work. She's very passionate and learned about sex trafficking. Plus, she spent three months in India working in a restoration house for rescued women. I continuously learn and receive inspiration from her.
She appreciated this article and thus, I thought it ought to be shared here. It's a good reminder that fixing a circumstance doesn't necessarily heal the heart issues. This is the same with individuals as it is with nations etc. For example, the toppling of a dictatorial government does not bring a nation into instant health and wholeness. There is still inner healing needed. Much of one's inclination to run, to return to old ways, and to rebel against kindness is in one's broken sense of identity. When true identity and value is felt, actions and perspectives will shift too.
What do you think about this?
China's air, a pink skyscraper is coming to your aid!
A few years ago I was in China. The air quality was atrocious. I'd heard of its opaque, grey cloud, but seeing it in person was alarming. Whether day or night, the sky in Chengdu was murky and dreary.
Well, I think its awesomely innovative to introduce a skyscraper in China that will also clean the air! Three cheers for cleaner air in China!

Recognizing that people are often drawn to the secret things people hide, I genuinely hope those who read this article don't do so simply for the sake of voyeurism, but in order to be truly affected by a look at the awful realities of the porn industry. Then, I hope people are radically impacted to make a change.
A change begins with one person. You can be part of the solution. Will you?

From: Linda Zapczynski
Category: Art
Date: 25 April 2005
Gently erotic, Fischl evokes soft-toned bedroom scenes, in increments of before, during and after the act.
Unfortunately, other than consisting of lovely golden tones and carefully patterned light, the stories are empty. The figurative work is sometimes nice, and often hazy.
But what are they thinking? What are they feeling? Are they real, or just mannequins? The figures seem to be frozen in time, not reacting, not moving, their faces blank. They are posed in positions, and awkwardly.
The scenes are set up as though through a window, capturing moments of nothingness, yet evoking an uncomfortable sense of voyeurism in the viewer. But voyeurs usually see movement, expression, a few moments of human lives, yes? The light is captured in interesting folds, but again, even that falls flat on the bodies, as though literally painted on the models' bodies.
The bed is contained in what appears to be a sheer material, resembling a bubble, complete with matching stripes of white, resembling the light on the bodies. It's hazy through there, so much that it appears to be only a prop, not a natural accompaniment to the couple's bed.
The size of the paintings is nice, not huge or too small for the composition. But, again, there isn't a lot of detail or expression to fit in, anyway. One painting can fit nicely in an average home, or several in a large home; maybe this helps the sales, which have sold out the show, in huge prices.
Hopefully for the buyers, the Fischl's name will be a successful investment, by itself.
