Doctors use European law to take government to court over lack of PPE during coronavirus outbreak
PUBLISHED: 15:52 09 June 2020 | UPDATED: 16:13 09 June 2020
Doctors and campaigners have launched a High Court challenge against the government over its refusal to hold an urgent public inquiry into PPE shortages.

Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
A claim for judicial review has been lodged with the court by the Doctors' Association UK, Hourglass - a charity which works to prevent abuse and neglect of older people - and legal pressure group the Good Law Project.
They argue health secretary Matt Hancock's refusal to commit to an enhanced investigation into whether failings in procurement, stockpiling, distribution and provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) may have contributed to the deaths or serious illnesses of NHS and care home staff and patients from Covid-19 is unlawful.
The group, which is crowdfunding its case, says an inquiry which complies with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the right to life, should be automatic and is required in circumstances where those deaths and illnesses have been "caused or contributed to" by the state.
They also say such an investigation must take place "as soon as reasonably practicable" because there is an "urgent need to gather evidence and learn lessons" now, ahead of a possible second or third spike of infection.
In documents filed with the court, Paul Bowen QC, representing the group, said: "In the particular context of this case, there is an urgent need to address the underlying reasons for the apparent failures to procure, stockpile, distribute and supply adequate PPE (both before and during the pandemic) that have led to the current shortage.
"That urgency arises, in part, from the need to learn lessons from any previous failures, in light of the possibility that a second or third wave of the pandemic may follow."
The group claims in the documents that there have been at least 181 deaths of NHS staff and 131 deaths of social care workers in England, as of May 20.
Dr Rinesh Parmar, chairman of the Doctors' Association UK, said: "We have seen over the last few weeks that the UK has one of the highest death rates from Covid-19 in the world.
"Health and social care workers rose to the challenge, returned to the frontline from retirement and pulled out all the stops to save lives.
"Some had no PPE, others had inadequate, out of date perishing supplies.
"Alongside caring for patients, we've cared for colleagues and also faced the sad and grim reality of losing colleagues, who themselves were caring for patients.
"As we recover from the first wave of Covid-19 there is a real and credible possibility that we will face a second wave in the coming months or into the winter.
"Now is the time to learn key lessons to enable us to avoid future pitfalls, protect the frontline and ultimately save lives.
"Our calls for a public inquiry and our petition of nearly 120,000 signatures have all fallen on deaf ears as the Government buries its head in the sand and steadfastly refuses to commit to the learning required to prevent further tragedies."
Government lawyers wrote that there is "no arguable case" that the health secretary has breached Article 2 and that there are existing mechanisms - such as medical examinations and inquests - to investigate deaths from Covid-19.
The letter said: "In the context of a national emergency and pandemic of this kind, there are many ways in which the government is properly held to account, including in parliament.
"Under the scheme of Article 2, in relation to issues of the kind you raise, government properly would have a wide discretion as to the form or forms of any investigation into systemic and national issues.
"The same applies in relation to timing - especially in circumstances in which the government is working flat out to manage all of the issues which the pandemic has thrown up and no-one needs any persuasion as to the ongoing importance of seeking to secure that all those who need it have the right PPE."

Former Village Voice investigative wizard Wayne Barrett has a great article for WNYC radio's site on the political record of New York city council speaker (and current mayoral candidate) Christine Quinn that includes some juicy scuttlebutt on her role in the New York Yankees stadium deal. As Barrett outlines it:
- Leading the Yankees' push was Bronx Democratic Party leader Jose Rivera, a state assemblymember whose son Joel had taken over his spot on the New York city council. (This is the kind of thing that happens a lot in the Bronx.) Quinn was tight with Rivera after he'd helped her win the council speakership in 2006 — helped along, Barrett alleges, by Quinn's arrangement of a plum city job for a Rivera associate.
- Jose Rivera's top adviser Stanley Schlein was "driving the Yankee negotiations" at the council, according to another Rivera aide. In addition, the Yankees had Rivera's predecessor as party boss, Roberto Ramirez, on the payroll as well.
- Quinn helped shepherd the Yankees project through the council, including getting the team a new Metro-North commuter rail station near the stadium at no cost to the team.
Quinn denies any notion of a quid pro quo, but it's long been clear that something made her get behind the project 110% — I was at the council hearing the day that the Yankees project was approved, and recall the word coming down to the press table that the long delay in getting started was because "Chris Quinn has the Democratic caucus down in the basement and is lecturing them about how to vote." In the end, only two members of the council voted against the plan, with several members ending up making speeches about their concerns and then voting yes regardless. And thus are the sausages made…

Suggests setting aside 1% of GDP for cash transfer scheme for poor and elderly
To battle the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis, a fiscal stimulus of 1 per cent of India's gross domestic product needs to be provided by the government through direct benefit transfer to the poor and elderly immediately, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has told Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This would be in line with steps taken by other major economies like the United States, France, Japan and the United Kingdom, which have announced billions of dollars worth of stimulus to their economies.
In a letter to the PM sent on Wednesday, the industry body stressed the need for easing the cost of capital. It has renewed its demand for the removal of long-term capital gains tax of 10 per cent and fixing the dividend distribution tax at 25 per cent.
However, as an immediate measure, CII has suggested that Rs 5,000 be provided to every poor person, the majority of who work in the informal economy and face the brunt of business slows down. It also wants the most vulnerable section — the elderly — to get Rs 10,000 each, and free distribution of one month's ration to those below the poverty line from the government's stocks.
The Periodic Labour Force Survey data currently counts 200 million casual laborers in the country, who CII said could benefit with the transfers, and could help drive consumer demand. The industry body has argued that the recent crash in global oil prices allows the government to fulfill this demand. "Every $10 dollar decline in oil price leads to a saving of $15 billion in the oil import bill," CII said.
It also pushed for Goods and Services Tax (GST) payments to be on the collection of bills, rather than the raising of invoices to avoid liquidity getting locked during delays in payments. Such pending payments, especially to the micro, small and medium enterprises sector currently stand at Rs 6 trillion, according to government statistics.
Banking reforms needed
CII has also listed a host of immediate monetary and banking reforms including a reduction of 50 basis points both on Cash Reserve Ratio as well as the repo rate to ensure suitable liquidity for banks. Along with other industry bodies, it has also demanded that the Reserve Bank of India relax norms for recognising non-performing assets from 90 days to 180 days till September 30 to provide relief.
Over the past few days, India Inc has demanded that the central bank announce a blanket moratorium on debt repayments for 60 days to help firms tide over immediate cash flow issues. CII has suggested that credit limits for all regular banking accounts be enhanced by 25 per cent.
Sectoral challenges
To address the shortage of easily available, cheap drugs, the industry body has suggested shoring up indigenous Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) production. While in 2018-19, pharmaceuticals exports were worth $19.13 Billion, a study by the commerce ministry found that 70 per cent of APIs continued to be imported from China. Now, this over dependence has led to pricing volatility and supply disruption that has led to concerns of a shortage.
For the beleaguered aviation sector, CII has sought an immediate 4 per cent cut to the Value Added Tax levied by states on Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). In the long run, CII says ATF needs to be brought under the ambit of the GST regime to enable full input tax credit.

Epiphany Center in the News—"California Healthline" & "KQED News"
June 26, 2019
Meth In The Morning, Heroin At Night: Inside The Seesaw Struggle of Dual Addiction
"Researchers who have tracked drug use for decades believe the new meth crisis got a kick-start from the opioid epidemic. 'There is absolutely an association,' said Dr. Phillip Coffin, director of substance use research at the San Francisco Department of Public Health."
[...] "As soon as her daughter was born, she entered a residential treatment program in San Francisco, called the Epiphany Center, that would accept her and her baby."
In California, New Drug Treatment Money Also Means New Rules
"Lindsay, who asked that we not use her last name because of her drug use, is now 31. Last year, when she was homeless and pregnant, she agreed to go into treatment, and spent seven months at a residential treatment center for women and their babies in San Francisco, called the Epiphany Center. She is now working and living on her own. Other women who have completed the program often stayed for up to a year.
But these long, unfettered stays won't be possible anymore, as new policies on how long patients can remain in residential treatment programs take effect on July 1 in San Francisco."

Steve Smith and David Warner caught up with their Australian teammates in the UAE as they were welcomed back with "hugs and cuddles." The duo said that they felt as if they had never left and that their teammates were very accepting on their return after almost a year. Both Warner and Smith along with Cameron Bancroft were banned for their involvement in the ball-tampering scandal which rocked Australian cricket last year.
Australia are currently in UAE, preparing for their next international assignment against Pakistan. Smith and Warner were invited to the training session as a part of their re-integration process by coach Justin Langer. Australia brought an end to a dismal run in ODIs with a confident 3-2 win in their latest outing against Virat Kohli-led India as they clinched the five-match series.
The Aussies suffered five straight ODI series defeats after the Champions Trophy before thumping India away from home. It was a morale-boosting victory for the defending champions, who will be looking for a big boost with the returns of Smith and Warner.
"It's been awesome. It's like we didn't really leave, the boys were very accepting of us coming in and with open arms. A lot of big hugs and cuddles. It's been great," Warner told Cricket.com.au.
"It's good to see the spirit they're in after a great series win in India and I am obviously looking forward to watching them play against Pakistan here and hopefully they win that series as well," he added.
Smith also echoed Warner's comments and said he felt there is good energy among the current group of Australian players and they were really welcoming. "It seems like some really good energy among the team at the moment," he said. It's great to be back around the group, they've been really welcoming and almost like we've never left," said the right-hander, who is currently recovering from a shoulder injury and will be hopeful of playing maximum games in the Indian Premier League for Rajasthan Royals.
Both Smith and Warner will see their bans expire later this month but they have not been picked in the ODI squad for the Pakistan series. The duo will be playing for their respective franchise in the IPL and will be looking to make a comeback in the national team with a good show in the T20 league, which gets underway from March 23.

What is a browser hijacker
mpgun.com virus redirect virus might be responsible for the modified browser's settings, and it could have invaded your computer along with freeware. You must have installed some type of free application recently, and it possibly had the hijacker adjoined to it. Similar infections are why it is essential that you pay attention to how software are installed. mpgun.com virus isn't a high-level threat but the way it behaves will get on your nerves. Your browser's home web page and new tabs will be set to load the redirect virus's advertised web page instead of your usual page. It will modify your search engine, which could inject sponsored links among the real results. You're rerouted so that the site owners could make income from traffic and adverts. Some of those redirects may redirect to insecure pages, so you could accidentally get a malware. If you got malware, the situation would be much worse. So that people find them beneficial, redirect viruses pretend to have handy features but the reality is, they are replaceable with trustworthy plug-ins which would not redirect you. More personalized content will also start appearing, and if you are wondering why, the hijacker is following what your browse, so that it could know about your habits. That info could also fall into suspicious third-party hands. All of this is why you ought to eliminate mpgun.com virus.
Download Removal Toolto remove mpgun.com virus
What does it do
You can encounter browser redirects attached to freeware as added offers. Since these are pretty invasive and irritating infections, we highly doubt you got it knowingly. Because users don't pay attention to software installation processes, this method permits browser hijackers and similar infections to spread. The items are hidden and by rushing you loose all chance of seeing them, and you not seeing them means their installation will be permitted. Opt out of using Default settings because they do not permit you to deselect anything. Advanced (Custom) mode, on the other hand, will make the items visible. Unmarking all the offers is suggested if you wish to prevent the unfamiliar software. After you deselect all the items, you can continue installing the freeware. Even if these are trivial threats, they are very aggravating to deal with and may provide difficulty when trying to get rid of it, so we suggest you prevent their threat in the first place. You ought to also be more attentive about where you get your applications from because by using dubious sources, you are boosting your chances of obtaining an infection.
If a hijacker manages to install, we highly doubt you wouldn't see. Alterations to your browser will be executed without consent, mainly you'll have a new homepage/new tabs, and your search engine could also be different. Popular browsers including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will probably be affected. And unless you first terminate mpgun.com virus from the system, the site will load every time you open your browser. Trying to change the settings back would a waste of time because the browser redirect will overrule them. If your search engine is modified by the browser hijacker, every time you look for something via browser's address bar or the presented search box, your results would be made by that engine. Relying on those results isn't suggested as you'll end up on sponsored sites. Those redirects could be occurring because of money reasons, since owners of those sites make more income when traffic is increased. After all, more traffic means there are more people who are likely to click on ads, meaning more revenue. If you press on those web pages, you will quickly see that they have nothing to do with what you were searching for. In some cases they may appear real initially, if you were to search 'virus', websites advertising false anti-malware could come up, and they might seem real at first. Because hijackers don't analyze web pages for malware you could end up on one that could prompt malware to enter onto your machine. You ought to also be aware that hijackers spy on you in order to obtain information about what you press on, what pages you visit, your search queries and so on. Third-parties could also access the information, and then use it to create more customized ads. After some time, you may notice that the sponsored content is more personalized, if the browser hijacker uses the gathered information. We recommend you to terminate mpgun.com virus as it will do more damage than good. Since there will be nothing stopping you, after you complete the process, make sure you undo the reroute virus's carried out alterations.
mpgun.com virus elimination
It's not the most serious malicious software infection, but it could still cause trouble, so erase mpgun.com virus and everything should go back to normal. You will have to choose from by hand and automatic methods for getting rid of the reroute virus and, neither of which are particularly hard to perform. By hand method includes you identifying the infection and taking care of it yourself. While the process might take more time than initially thought, it ought to be quite easy to do, and if you need help, we've provided guidelines below this article to aid you. They should help you take care of the contamination, so follow them accordingly. However, if you are not very computer-savvy, the other option might work better. You may acquire spyware removal software and have it discard the infection for you. This type of software is designed with the aim of terminating infections like this, so you should not come across any problems. You may make sure you were successful by making changes to your browser's settings, if your changes aren't reversed, the infection is no longer present. If the page continues to load as your homepage even after you have changed it, you didn't get rid of the threat entirely. It's pretty annoying dealing with these kinds of threats, so it's best if you block their installation in the first place, so pay attention when installing programs. Ensure you develop good tech habits because it might prevent a lot of trouble.Download Removal Toolto remove mpgun.com virus

Councillor Simon Cooke spoke out after 656 litres of fake spirits were seized in the city.
Councillor Cooke told the Bradford Telegraph and Argus: "It's the biggest seizure yet of fake vodka by Trading Standards in West Yorkshire.
"This is the consequence of government action. It makes such illegal arbitrage worth the risk. At £2 a shot, that's over fifty grand. Or, in terms of tax avoided, it's about six grand.
"Eventually people start dodging those taxes and the results are dangerous.
"The more we load onto duty, the more of this we'll see and the more we'll read of people poisoned by isopropanol, tertiary butanol and chloroform, none of which should be in vodka.
"This won't be the lesson from this event – the tip of an illegal spirits iceberg. Our lords and masters will carry on piling the tax onto booze in the interests of 'health'."
The number of fake alcohol investigations by local authorities have increased for each of the last three years, and earlier this year two brothers in the UK were jailed after trying to avoid paying £4.7 million in alcohol duty.

Fueling and Repairing the Horse Cells; Cur-OST EQ Cell Repair
In order to compete, run, jump, recover from an injury, muscle stiffness, PSSSM, or even battle the effects of metabolic syndrome, a horse is completely reliant upon their cells. Now, this may be obvious, as all tissues are composed of different cell types, but for most, the negative events you are encountering in your horse are actually due to those cells not functioning correctly. They are damaged and in need of desperate repair. As a result of their reduced function, other vital areas of your horse's health are also impaired. How do you repair the cells and turn the tide on this viscous cycle of events? The Cur-OST EQ Cell Repair formula may just be the answer you are seeking! (more…)

This is off topic, but some here are interested in the 1936 opening of TV in the UK and Adele Dixon, who sang the opening song, which some of you enjoyed when I gave the link to it in another thread.
So, If the Moderator will indulge me........
I found out recently that a hospital ward in the Chelsea and Westminster hospital had been named after Adele Dixon and I wondered why. I emailed the hospital yesterday and here is part of their reply....
"She never had a TV set. She is reported to have said, " I have no desire to have one. I much prefer the radio. It is more intelligent."
In Aug 1928, Miss Dixon married Ernest Schwaiger, a rare stone specialist
for Cartier. He who died in 1976.
Adele Dixon lived for more than 40 years in Queen's Gate Place, Kensington.
She moved to Manchester in 1986.
When she died in 1992 she left £273,000 for the provision of services to the elderly at St. Mary Abbots which was one of the hospitals intergrated with Chelsea and Westminster hospital.
The official opening of the Adele Dixon ward was carried out by Lady Delfont, who was a childhood friend of Miss Dixon and who starred opposite her at the London Palladium, in October, 1995.
So, there we are, a little bit more history linked to Alexandra Palace.

Australian Mining's inaugural safety conference has seen a record turn out.
The conference, which was opened by WA mines minister Norman Moore this morning in Perth, hosted a number of different speakers focused on the changing aspects of safety on site.
The speakers, which included the CSIRO's Jock Cunningham, WA DMP's director for mine safety Simon Ridge, and industry leaders, discussed current trends in blasting, drilling, and automation safety.
Ridge used the conference as an opportunity to highlight the work the Department of Mines and Petroleum has done in creating a brand new Code of Practice for exploration drilling.
'This is really an area that we've neglected in the past, and are now paying more attention to it, particularly in the area of safety, as it has a slightly high LTIFR than the rest of the industry historically," Ridge told the conference.
Automation and its place on the site was delved into.
RCT's Noel Northcott, the CSIRO's Jock Cunningham, and Transmin's Adrian Boeing explained how semi-autonomous vehicles are changing safety on site by taking the man out of the operation.
Aon Hewitt's Genevieve Paton also discussed the people risk factors for mining companies and the cost of poor management on safety.
Mental health on the mine site was also investigated.
The CRRMH chief Jennifer Bowers asked whether mining's attitude to mental health had really progressed since the days of Red Dog.
Generational change and the affect it will have on mining was also weaved throughout the event.
Moat speakers at the event brought up how the different attitudes of Gen Y towards safety, the greater use of technology and automated devices, and their greater awareness of mental health issues will see a massive shift in how business is done as Baby Boomers slowly leave the industry and retire.
Catch Australian Mining tomorrow, where we will host raw podcasts of the event.
And keep an eye out for the planned 2nd mining conference, which will be held in Brisbane early next year.

Lowestoft loan shark to be sentenced
PUBLISHED: 06:47 15 May 2011
Archant © 2009
A LOWESTOFT shopkeeper who targeted vulnerable people for his own personal gain will be sentenced later this month for running an illegal money-lending business from his town centre store.
Michael Szyptma, 57, ran a 'loan shark' operation for 11 years from his DVD and CD shop Sound and Vision, now based in Station Square.
He was arrested following a joint investigation by the England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) and Suffolk Trading Standards.
Szyptma, of Elm Tree Road, Lowestoft, pleaded guilty last month to lending money without a licence and he is due to be sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on May 27.
Noemi Byrd, prosecuting for the IMLT, told April's hearing at Ipswich Crown Court that Szyptma befriended victims unable to access legitimate credit and lent them money with interest from his shop. But he took advantage of them by taking their bank cards and pin numbers so he could withdraw the money himself, leaving victims with little to live on.
Szyptma would also sell DVDs and clothes to his victims or do their shopping for them, charging interest on the transactions.
Last September, search warrants were executed by the IMLT, assisted by Suffolk police's area intelligence officers at Szpytma's home and his shop in Station Square.
During the search, documentation was found detailing loans given to about 30 people, along with more than £22,000 in cash.
The lack of formal business records made it impossible to say how much he made.
Tony Quigley, head of the IMLT, said: "As this case proves, illegal money lenders will prey on vulnerable people for their own gain. Many illegal lenders trap people into a spiral of debt, leaving their victims struggling to pay for basics.
"We urge anyone who is the victim of an illegal lender, or who knows of someone who is, to contact us in complete confidence on 0300 555 2222"

Penrith residents will now be able to celebrate the life of a loved one aboard the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler.
Nepean Valley Funerals owner, Jim Mueller partnered with his long-time friend and Nepean Belle owner, Chris Bennett after the St Dominic's College old boys sought to combine their businesses and love of the Penrith community.
Mr Mueller and wife Janet had identified the changing trends of funerals and said although traditional church/chapel funeral services remain important, some families now seek a non-denominational celebration.
"Everyone knows the river. It has so much meaning and holds so many memories to so many people with associations with the Nepean region,'' Mr Mueller said.
"It might be a case of 'Dad always loved being on the water' or 'Mum always wanted to go on a cruise'.
"We aim to make this challenging time as bearable as possible, and our new funerals on the water option on the Nepean Belle will offer family and friends an opportunity to celebrate their loved one's life at a personal, unforgettable event."
Exclusive to Nepean Valley Funerals, the closed coffin funeral and wake package will offer the use of the paddlewheeler, a non-denominational funeral service, coffin, flowers, celebrant, printed orders of service and condolence pack, with further additions such as a photographic tribute available.
After the ceremony, the coffin will be removed from the paddlewheeler where friends and family then continue to remember their loved one during a catered wake
"There are few services that are as sensitive or as personal as those provided by a funeral director,'' Mr Mueller said.
"We're helping people through the worst possible time in their lives."
The unique weekday service, incorporating one of Penrith's most iconic spots will host up to 150 guests.
For more information about the unique services, visit funeralsonthewater.com.au or call 4722 8222.
A graduate of Western Sydney University, Nicola Barton is a news journalist with the Western Weekender, primarily covering crime and politics.

1. Golden State Warriors (66-7) Last week: 1 – The Warriors need to go 7-2 the rest of the way to beat the 95-96 all-time best record. That means they – and their opponents have something to play for. You wonder if going that hard to end the season could catch up to them in the playoffs.
2. San Antonio Spurs (62-12) Last week: 2 – The Spurs were walloped by the Thunder – something to remember if these two teams meet in the playoffs (they should in the second round) – but San Antonio rebounded on Monday over the Griz despite resting Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder (52-22) Last week: 5 – Warning: Extremely hot! Don't look now but the Thunder are playing their best basketball of the season just as the regular season wraps up. They've won eight straight and are locking up that No. 3 seed, and that's tough luck for the Spurs in the second round.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers (52-21) Last week: 4 – They blew what should have been an easy win to the Nets, and you could easily see LeBron James' frustration out on the court. But the Cavs now have a three-game lead for the No. 1 seed and can afford to focus on health down the stretch.
5. Toronto Raptors (49-24) Last week: 3 – Uh oh. The Raptors have hit a bit of a skid, losing three of their last four games. What's worse? Kyle Lowry appears to be battling some elbow soreness. He even had it drained after Monday's loss to the Thunder. His health is the Raptors main concern.
6. Atlanta Hawks (45-30) Last week: 6 – They're 9-1 over their last 10 games and like the Thunder are playing their best basketball of the season. Can they hang on to the East's No. 3 seed? It won't be easy with two games against the Cavs, two against the Raptors, and one against the Celtics.
7. Los Angeles Clippers (46-27) Last week: 8 – They smacked the Nuggets and Celtics in back-to-back games, and squeaked by the Blazers, too. But will those wins help them forget about the double-digit loss to Golden State? It's shaping up to be the second-round matchup out west.
8. Miami Heat (43-30) Last week: 7 – Hassan Whiteside dropped 26 points last Friday and 27 points on Monday. He's a double-double machine and coming off the bench for the Heat. Scoring has been a bit of an issue for the Heat this season, but when the game slows down in the playoffs, watch out.
9. Boston Celtics (43-31) Last week: 9 – Do they miss Jae Crowder? Absolutely. The good news is Crowder is targeting a return from a high ankle sprain for Thursday's game against the Blazers. That will hopefully knock off the rust before Friday's big showdown in Golden State.
10. Charlotte Hornets (42-31) Last week: 10 – They dropped one in Detroit, but what a treat they get this week: back-to-back games against the 76ers! Charlotte goes into those games as the No, 6 seed, but they're just two games back from the No. 3 Hawks.
11. Indiana Pacers (39-34) Last week: 12 – Good on the Pacers for holding off the Rockets second-half comeback and coming out with a big win to remain in the No. 7 spot in the East. A win over the Bulls on Tuesday will go a long way in ensuring them a playoff spot.
12. Portland Trail Blazers (38-37) Last week: 11 – They'll be looking for revenge against the Celtics on Thursday. Portland has a tough three-game stretch against the C's, Heat, and then Warriors in Golden State. They're fighting to remain a playoff team.
13. Utah Jazz (37-37) Last week: 13 – It was just a matter of time before the Jazz standings caught up to their power ranking. They now hold the No. 7 spot out West, and that's after a 48-point win (Yes, 48 points) over the lowly Lakers. They're 8-2 over their last 10 games.
14. Detroit Pistons (39-35) Last week: 16 – Currently you're No. 8 seed in the East, nobody has benefited more from the Bulls collapse than the Pistons have. Two-and-a-half games now separate them from the No. 9 seeded Wizards, who are tied with the Bulls.
15. Houston Rockets (36-38) Last week: 14 – The only reason they're still looking at a playoff spot is because the Mavericks are playing worse than they are. The Rockets have shown signs of life – and that makes them a dangerous first round opponent – but they won't beat a determined Warriors team.
16. Memphis Grizzlies (41-33) Last week: 15 – The Grizzlies have lost three straight and seven of their last nine. With the way the Thunder have been playing, the last thing Memphis wants to do is slide down a spot to that No. 7 seed. They'll have to hold on for dear life.
17. Washington Wizards (36-37) Last week: 17 – The Wizards are running out of time if they want to make the playoffs, and being on a roadtrip that takes them through Golden State and Los Angeles (Clippers) won't help matters. Randy Wittman's days as Wiz head coach could be numbered.
18. Dallas Mavericks (36-38) Last week: 18 – They snapped a three-game losing streak, but not before they found themselves out of the playoff picture. Good on Dwight Powell to score a career-high 16 points in his first career start, the win over Denver. All hands on deck.
19. Chicago Bulls (36-37) Last week: 19 – A team meeting didn't stop yet another loss, the Bulls fourth straight and it now feels very real that this group will miss the playoffs. Injuries plagued this bunch all season. Could be some big changes coming this offseason.
20. Denver Nuggets (31-44) Last week: 20 – On one hand, the Nuggets are the No. 10 team in the west. On the other, they're just a few of wins ahead of a bunch of teams in the lottery standings. Wouldn't be the worst thing if one of their starters went down with an "injury".
21. Orlando Magic (30-43) Last week: 22 – There's a report Nikola Vucevic may return to the Magic after missing 12 games. My question: why? You're out of the playoffs – play for the lottery balls, Orlando!
22. Milwaukee Bucks (30-44) Last week: 21 – Five straight losses for the Bucks. Jason Kidd may have escaped this season with his job, but you can bet that if next season starts with a thud he may be on a very short leash.
23. Sacramento Kings (29-45) Last week: 23 – George Karl threw some shade at his own player in Seth Curry when he said he'd be around for a couple years. That didn't sit well with DeMarcus Cousins, who made sure to videobomb Curry and say he'd be in the league a long time. Oh, Kings.
24. New York Knicks (30-45) Last week: 24 – A young fan ran out onto the court and hugged Carmelo Anthony during the Knicks' latest loss in New Orleans. Melo probably needed that hug. It's been a tough season.
25. Minnesota Timberwolves (25-49) Last Week: 25 – Karl-Anthony Towns probably doesn't have to do anything else to earn Rookie of the Year honors, but 27 points and 10 boards in a win over the Suns can't hurt.
26. New Orleans Pelicans (27-46) Last week: 26 – Last week it was Anthony Davis shut down for the season. This week it's Jrue Holiday and Alonzo Gee. Only team the Pels can "catch" in the lottery standings is Minnesota, who has two less wins them then.
27. Brooklyn Nets (21-52) Last week: 28 – Give it up for the Nets, who beat both the Cavaliers and Pacers last week. They're not playing for a lottery pick, so why the heck not?!
28. Phoenix Suns (20-54) Last week: 27 – The Suns are showing a lot of fight late in games, but they've been going down by too many points early on. That's a young team that just isn't ready to compete when the ball is tipped.
29. Los Angeles Lakers (15-59) Last week: 29 – Kobe Bryant's final NBA season has been filled with a lot of memorable moments. Here's one he won't want to remember: the worst loss of his career, a 48-blowout by the Jazz.
30. Philadelphia 76ers (9-65) Last week: 30 – Will copy and paste the last two week's entry: The 76ers need to win just ONE more game to hit double digits. You can do it, guys!

- Are there topics that you and your partner have never been able to discuss and that you've built your relationship around avoiding?
- Have you asked for something you need over and over but it never happens?
- Have you heard promise after promise that things will change but they don't?
- Do the two of you need to make important decisions but can't find common ground?
- Have you triggered each other in the same ways so many times you've lost hope for resolution?
- Do you concede over and over to keep the peace but secretly feel resentful?
Need Help Talking to Each Other?
Unspoken issues between you takes on a life of its own. You become polarized in your attempts to make life work around them. If you happen to touch into one of the forbidden topics hurt and anger spew out. More hurts pile up. One of my biggest surprises was that my former spouse and I had to pull 30 years of avoided conversations out from under the rug in order to get divorced. The issues didn't go away. They just waited. Sometimes we need help, the right kind of help, to talk to each other. A clarifying conversation, where you both speak all that needs to be said until you're empty of all the hurt and feel deeply heard, can change the trajectory of an unhappy, on the edge of breakdown, relationship. It may be the best thing you can do to save your relationship with the added bonus of putting a new foundation under it for future relating.
Through this coaching we were able to … clean out old wounds from when we'd significantly hurt each other early in our relationship. ~ Debbie
Unresolved emotional issues will bleed into divorce discussions
There are a lot of things to discuss when separating lives. You may communicate well and have no problem having those conversations, but chances are, if you're divorcing, there are some things you can't talk about. Maybe you've agreed on 90% of your division but there's that "one" topic you avoid because it's just too hot. Finances (alimony/maintenance, retirement accounts, who gets the house) and parenting (schedules, styles, extracurricular kid expenses) are two hard to discuss topics.
Items that are too hot to discuss are often knotted into deeper feelings like feeling disrespected, unloved, unsupported, or taken advantage of throughout the marriage. The hold out for money or getting the house or getting more parenting time is really holding onto a need for an apology or other retribution. Without help to clean up these pain points you will remain polarized. You will likely run into the same blockages over and over, never reaching agreement. This is when people have to hire mean lawyers and get before a judge to make decisions for you. You really, really don't have to go that route. Let me help you talk.
A divorced couple with a young child needed help deciding which parent the child should live with for school. They lived 75 miles apart. It became clear that their standoff wasn't about school, but something deeper. It turned out to be infidelity. Although they didn't recognize it, this was their stance: "You had the affair, so he gets to come to school by me." "Well you didn't show me love and forced me to the affair, so he gets to come to school where I live." Neither parent felt the other understood how much they were hurt over the initial transgression. Instead it was being lived out with regard to the child's schooling. After we took the time for each of them to really hear the emotional experience of the other progress was made. These conversations are vital for an ongoing parenting relationship.
Your Next Step
I've facilitated some very difficult conversations concerning multiple affairs, respect issues, pornography issues, financial withholding and more. These clients are brave. It takes courage to go to these hard places but it will change your present and your future.
I am very skilled at facilitating these conversations. I use the skills in both the Collaborative Divorce process and with couples. They will work for you, too.

A new photo has become the Internet sensation winning the hearts of most social network users and animal lovers. The image was taken as a baby koala clings to his mother during surgical intervention, hence the huge appreciation that it has received.
Internet users have gradually grown accustomed to all possible emotional pictures, so they rarely expect something new to stir their interest. Yet, every once in a while a new photo is released and everyone is left open-mouthed.
Is the case of the recent picture of a baby koala clinging to his mother's neck during a dangerous surgical intervention. The six-month-old baby was incredibly scared as both he and his mother have been the victims of a tragic car accident.
Phantom, the baby and Lizzy, the mother, have been injured by a hurried driver who failed to notice them as they were running next to the cars. After the incident, the two animals were brought to the hospital where they received specialized medical care.
According to the official declaration of the veterinarians, Phantom did not suffer any major injuries during the hit. On the contrary, his condition was good and stable. His mother, on the other hand, had facial and body injuries. Deeper investigations have shown that Lizzy had a broken lung and had to be operated immediately.
When doctors tried to separated Phantom from his mother's neck, the little koala bear clung even tighter to his mother and appeared to become restless. As a consequence, Phantom carefully assisted his mother all throughout the surgical intervention. The moment was immortalized and the photos that were released on the Internet have immediately captured everyone's attention.
Nurses at the hospital reassured animal lovers that both Lizzy and his baby are in a good condition. The surgery went on very well and Lizzy is now outside any possible risks.
Lizzy and Phantom have been treated at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, one of the best vet facilities in the region. The hospital has been founded by Steve Irwin, the famous Crocodile Hunter, who became famous for the breathtaking Discovery shows he produced about dangerous reptiles.
Irwin lost his life in 2006 during a wildlife accident. The TV moderator was accidentally stung by a stingray and lost his life by the time medical personnel got to him.

Many patients face their dental appointment with a degree of anxiety. Research has shown that the largest cause of this fear is the fear of pain ... the fear that at some time during their dental care treatment they are going to be hurt.
Sedation dentists have information available about a variety of drugs known as local anesthetics, which are the safest and most effective drugs in all of medicine. Local anesthetics are a resource used in anxiety-free dentistry for the prevention and management of dental anxiety resulting from dental and surgical procedures, not to put the patient to sleep.
Local anesthetics, commonly called Novocain by patients (Novocain is no longer used, having been replaced by newer, safer, and more effective drugs), are drugs which, when injected near a nerve, prevent stimulation from reaching the brain where it would be interpreted by a person as pain. Sedation dentists interested in practicing anxiety-free dentistry know these also work very well as temporary relief of a tooth ache.
The injectable local anesthetics, used today by sedation dentists provide complete relief about 100% of the time. The duration of the numbness varies from drug to drug -- some providing short durations, while others remain effective for up to 12 hours. A doctor will select a drug for a patient that is appropriate for the type of dental care procedure they are having done.
In order to be effective during dental treatment, local anesthetics usually need to be injected. For many people, this is the most uncomfortable part of the entire dental appointment.
Local anesthetics can be administered quite comfortably. Sedation dentists and dental hygienists take pride in their ability to administer local anesthesia easily and comfortably.
The following are some of the procedures sedation dentists practicing anxiety-free dentistry might use to make this procedure more comfortable:
If an individual is fearful of receiving a local anesthetic injection, they should tell the assistant or the sedation dentist BEFORE the procedure starts. The use of conscious sedation such as laughing gas, as part of anxiety-free dentistry, can work wonders to make this procedure more comfortable for the patient.
By Stanley F. Malamed, DDS
While many younger patients in the dental care office are cooperative and manageable without the need for sedative drugs, there are a significant number of children who cannot tolerate dental care without the use of these techniques.
For older, mildly apprehensive children, the use of oral conscious sedation may prove effective during dental care. Drugs such as chloral hydrate, Vistaril, Phenergan and Versed are frequently used either alone or in combinations selected by the sedation dentist for dental care.
Inhalation conscious sedation, using nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is also highly effective in a mildly apprehensive older child who is older than six years.
In some instances, the use of a physical restraint (known as a Papoose Board or PediWrap) may be necessary to minimize excessive movement (which could be dangerous) during dental care treatment.
Naturally, many younger children are not mature enough to understand the need for their cooperation during dental care treatment. In this situation, the techniques described above have little chance for success. Deep sedation or general anesthesia may be required for dental care treatment to be successfully provided.
When this is necessary, the sedation dentist will employ a highly trained and certified dentist anesthesiologist, medical anesthesiologist, or, in some cases, nurse anesthetist, whose sole responsibility is to ensure the safety of the child while the dental care is being done.
Dentists trained to administer general anesthesia have received a minimum of two years of specialized advanced training and have been certified by their state Board of Dental Examiners.
Monitoring devices, some of which evaluate breathing, blood pressure and heart rate, will be employed by the sedation dentist to help ensure the safety of the procedure.
All aspects of the child's medical history, including any drugs he/she may be taking, should be disclosed to the dentist before any dental care.
It is suggested that the parent ask the following questions of their dentist prior to signing an informed consent granting permission for the administration of conscious sedation, deep sedation or general anesthesia to a child:
The administration of local anesthetics (commonly known as Novocain) is needed whenever potentially painful dental care procedures are performed (even during conscious sedation dentistry and general anesthesia).
The administration of local anesthetics to children by a trained sedation dentist is extremely safe and represents the ideal means of providing comfortable dental care treatment.
The following are some of the procedures the doctor might use to make this procedure more comfortable for the child:
The duration of the numbness varies from drug to drug - some providing a short duration (two to three hours), with others remaining effective for up to twelve hours. The sedation dentist will select a drug for the child that is appropriate for the planned dental care procedure.
Since a child's tongue and/or lip may remain numb for several hours after the completion of their dental care treatment, the parent should carefully watch the child to prevent them from accidentally biting and injuring their lip or tongue during this period of time.
Properly administered, local anesthetics are safe and effective in almost 100% of younger patients. If a child is unable to tolerate the injection of the local anesthetic in their mouth, it may be necessary to use one of the techniques of conscious sedation, deep sedation or general anesthesia.
Local anesthetics can safely be administered by a trained sedation dentist to patients receiving sedation or general anesthesia during their dentistry visit.

Georgia death row inmate suing to face firing squad
ATLANTA - A Georgia death row inmate is suing the prison system because he wants to be executed by a firing squad.
Michael Wade Nance shot and killed a driver after robbing a Lilburn bank back in 1993.
He was sentenced to death in 2002.
Now Nance is taking legal action claiming his veins are too narrow for lethal injection.
Michael Wade Nance (Georgia Department of Corrections)
According to the lawsuit, the convicted killer is requesting death by a firing squad- because it's "swift and virtually painless."
Currently, only Mississippi, Oklahoma and Utah offer a firing squad as a method of execution.
