Carelessness with portable storage devices has lead to personal health information being leaked on three separate occasions. During a press conference on Monday, Margaret MacDiarmid, British Columbia's Health Minister, said "there have been three instances of health data which has been inappropriately accessed and the public needs to be aware of these."
While sensitive information from millions of British Columbians has been leaked, there were no names attached to the data, according to the Ministry.
"Our policies do require that the USB sticks would be password-protected and encrypted if the are to be used to carry personal health information and this was not done," said MacDiarmid.
The announcement comes as an update surrounding the surrounding the Ministry of Health's investigation regarding misuse of personal health data that was first announced in September 2012. It involves allegations of inappropriate conduct, contracting and data-management practices involving former ministry employees, researchers and contractors.
"We understand that it's our responsibility to safeguard British Columbians' health information and we do take that extremely seriously," said MacDiarmid.
Two of the confirmed cases took place in June of 2012. The first case involved health data from 38,486 people being shared with an individual. This data included personal health numbers, gender, date of birth, postal codes and information linked from Statistics Canada's Canadian Community Health Survey. Even though person names, SIN numbers, street addresses and financial information weren't included, other things such as hospital admissions, discharges and medication history were included in the data.
"We have not found any evidence that any of this data has been used for anything other than health research," said MacDiarmid.
Because StatsCan Canadian Community Health Survey provided some of the information, the disclosure of this information breached an agreement between the ministry and Statistics Canada.
"In this particular case, the ministry is going to be sending personal letters to each of the individuals to inform them about what has happened with their information, and this direct notification is consistent with the recommendations that was sought from the office of the information and privacy commissioner," she said.
In the second case, 19 types of health data from over 5 million people that includes things such as health numbers, gender, age group, length of hospital stay and amount spent on various categories of health care was provided to a ministry contractor.
The contractor was authorized to see some information in a non-identifiable and or encrypted data from the ministry. However, this person instead received unencrypted and personally identifiable data instead.
The third case took place in October 2010. The data with personal health numbers and detailing diagnostic information for 262 chronic disease or conditions, including things like prescription history for certain drugs for approximately 21,000 people, was shared with a researcher without the data request being approved.
"It's important for me, to stress that in none of this three instances … there were no individuals' names attached to this information. There were no social insurance numbers and there was no personal financial information. This was never part of any of these data," explained MacDiarmid.
She also added that documents containing traditional medical files of any individuals were not obtained.
"The information that was accessed was formatted in data tables. In two of these cases, the information was saved in a format that would not readily available to individuals without a specific software program … it would be very difficult to match someone's personal health number to their identity based on the formation that was available."
However, MacDiarmid explained that she did not think it would be difficult for someone to get access to the computer software.
"I don't know how you would do it, but I don't think it's particularly difficult if the person has the knowledge and skill to do that. It's an open source software, as I understand it," she said.
However, according to MacDiarmid, the ministry is taking steps to ensure that something like this does not happen again.
As a result of the information being misused as well as the contracting issues and data management practices seven people have been let go from the ministry.
"Our rules or our laws already set a very high standard for protecting privacy, but we are looking at ways that we can enhance our data security procedures. Shortly after these events become known to us, we engaged a consulting firm, Deloitte, and they are reviewing our information management procedures and our practices. We've asked them to recommend ways that we might be able to improve them," explained MacDiarmid.
In order to prevent information being incorrectly distributed again, the Ministry has introduced data and security training programs that must be taken by all employees.
"This is in addition to the training which they would have already received, privacy and security training which is mandatory for all public servants," she said.
MacDiarmid would not get into the specifics of whose information could have been leaked.
Northern Health was not able to comment on whether any of the leaked information related to residents of the Peace Region and directed all questions towards the Ministry of Health.

MILLEDGEVILLE — The Creekside Elementary School family and the local community are grieving the loss of an inspirational and enthusiastic educator who helped kindergartners grab the love of learning while having "a smile on her face and plenty of pep in her step."
Debra Lynn "Debbie" Newberry Amason called Milledgeville home for many years and spent nearly 30 years dedicating her life to her passion for teaching young learners.
"[Debbie] was an incredible educator. She was always enthusiastic about her job, and she exuded love for her students," said Creekside music teacher Leanne Benson who worked alongside Amason five years.
Amason loved music and the arts and has held the title of Creekside's Teacher of the Year multiple times, Benson said.
"It's people like her who make Creekside such a wonderful place to call my work home and because of her friendly, welcoming nature, Creekside truly is like a family," Benson said. "And as any family misses a loved one, she will be greatly missed by her Creekside family. The halls will not seem the same without her sing-songy "good morning' to look forward to. She was so full of life and joy that It's hard to believe she's passed."
"Miss Debbie" passed Thursday from an apparent heart attack at age 50.
Her Facebook page flooded Wednesday with words of prayers and memorable stories from family, friends, fellow educators, former students and individuals whose lives and hearts Amason influenced.
Amason is described as a "vibrant human being" and was never "without her million dollar smile." Creekside second-grade teacher Rebecca Giles shared on Facebook that "we've seen Debbie dress up as Mr. Peanut, a pilgrim lady and even the Cat in The Hat, but I bet her favorite get-up is the angel wings she got to put on."
Erin Smith, also a fellow Creekside second-grade teacher, had the privilege of observing Amason teach while she was in college.
"I was in awe, at that time, of her energy and focus on her students. Luckily, when I began my teaching career, I was able to teach with Debbie, and I was still amazed by her love and interest in her students. Many teachers loose their joy and excitement after years of teaching, but Debbie never tired of the wonderment of her students," Smith said. "I've spent my 16 years of teaching seeing Debbie almost daily and continued to be amazed and encouraged by her energy and happy spirit. Debbie has impacted thousands of children and adults during her brief time with us and her love of education and children will be felt for years to come."
A native of Elgin, Ill., Amason graduated from Newton High School in 1980 and pursued her education further at Truett-McConnell, a Southern Baptist four-year college in Cleveland, Ga., where she graduated in 1982. She earned a bachelor's degree in early childhood education from Georgia College in 1985.
Amason began her teaching career at the Wilkinson County Board of Education where she worked until moving to Baldwin County schools in 1990.
She taught local kindergarten students for more than 20 years, first at West End Elementary and then at Creekside Elementary, which replaced West End and Northside Elementary when the two schools merged in 1999.
Amason worked tirelessly as Creekside's Relay for Life school coordinator as well as working on school and county committees. Her love and dedication to her teaching profession earned her two Baldwin County Teacher of the Year titles.
She was preceded in death by her father, Herbert Newberry, and was a member of Hardwick Baptist Church.
Survivors include two sons, Clint Amason and Ethan Amason, both of Milledgeville; her mother, Alice Newberry of Milledgeville; two brothers Michael Newberry and James Newberry; and a special friend Tony Wells of Milledgeville.
The family will receive friends Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Moores Funeral Home & Crematory.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at Hardwick Baptist Church with the Rev. Bill Kitchen officiating. Burial will follow at Baldwin Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made in her honor to Creekside Elementary School, Playground and Grounds Beautification, 372 Blandy Road N.W., Milledgeville, Ga. 31061.

December 21, 2011 -
Jacksonville-based Winn Dixie is being bought by the Greenville, S.C.-based Bi-Lo Holding, which owns that supermarket chain for $560 million, the companies announced. The buyer says the purchase won't result in the closing of any stores, but no decision has been made yet on whether Winn Dixie, which emerged from bankruptcy five years ago, will keep its corporate headquarters in northeast Florida. A company spokesman, however, was quoted by the Florida Times-Union as saying that the merger would have "minimal impact" on the Jacksonville office, which employs 1,100. Winn Dixie reported annual revenue of $7.2 billion and it is in the Fortune 500. Winn Dixie stores will maintain their name, as will Bi-Lo stores. Together, the newly merged company would operate nearly 700 stores in eight states. Officials said the deal will close early next year.

The Modesto Nuts closed an otherwise successful 5-2 road trip with a 5-3 loss Monday night at Lake Elsinore.
Starter Chris Jensen (4-6) allowed four runs in the fourth and was outpitched by the Storm's James Needy (9-5), who retired 15 straight batters at one point.
Modesto took an early lead when Trevor Story singled home Matt Wessinger, but Lake Elsinore took charge with its big inning. The Nuts crept closer with Wessinger's 2-out, 2-run double in the seventh.
The Storm bullpen responded by blanking Modesto the rest of the way.
That was the final road game of the regular season for the Nuts, who will try to protect a 2-game lead over San Jose with seven games left in the California League North Division's second-half race.
Modesto's important homestand begins against Inland Empire tonight at John Thurman Field.

- Increasing access to reproductive health supplies
Catalyzing national action
- Building capacity at the national level
- Going the last mile
- Prioritizing affordable medicines to prevent maternal deaths
- Focusing on underutilized contraceptives
- Preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections
- Mobilizing political and financial commitment
Increasing access to reproductive health supplies
Access to reproductive health commodities is essential for achieving universal access to reproductive health and improved maternal health, as called for by Millennium Development Goal 5. These supplies are also crucial to UNFPA's vision of a world in which every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth safe and every young person's potential fulfilled.
The Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security works closely with the governments of 46 countries to ensure access to a reliable supply of contraceptives, condoms, medicine and equipment for family planning, prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and maternal health. Launched in 2007, the Global Programme provides financial and technical support for countries to procure and manage supplies of reproductive health commodities and strengthen their health systems.
Impressive results are reported by countries receiving sustained, multi-year funding through the Global Programme. Higher rates of contraceptive prevalence show that more couples are able to realize their right to plan their families. More health centres are stocked with contraceptives and life-saving maternal health medicines, and fewer stockouts are reported. Family planning is increasingly being prioritized at the highest levels of national policies, plans and programmes. And more governments are allocating domestic resources for contraceptives – a strong sign of commitment to supply security.
The Global Programme is UNFPA's main channel for providing technical and financial assistance for family planning. The Fund also facilitates third-party procurement of essential reproductive health supplies.

Success Stories in Reproductive Health Commodity Security
Catalyzing national action
The Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security aims to give countries the skills and guidance to plan for their own needs. At the request of governments, UNFPA provides strategic and pivotal support to:
- Integrate reproductive health commodity security in national policies, plans, programmes and budget lines through advocacy with policymakers, parliamentarians and partners in government;
- Strengthen the delivery system to ensure a reliable supply, logistics information and supply management;
- Procure contraceptives and other essential reproductive health supplies and promote their use through various mechanisms such as community-based distribution;
- Provide training to develop capacity at every step, from forecasting needs to providing quality information and services.
Evidence-based advocacy has mobilized high-level support for the national family planning strategy in Ecuador, including a personal commitment by the President of the Republic, along with Government support of $8 million for the strategy plus $7 million to procure modern contraceptives through UNFPA. In Mongolia, pharmacy students at the national university receive training in forecasting and procurement of essential supplies as part of the curriculum. In Sierrra Leone, adoption of a computerized logistic management information system has increased transparency and accountability and reduced stock-outs. The innovative School for Husbands project in Niger has inspired RH education for men in Côte d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone. Community-based distribution has increased access to family planning in Burkina Faso and Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Mobilizing Resources for RHCS
Building capacity at the national level
More than 40 per cent of Global Programme support goes toward training, backstopping and other technical assistance designed to strengthen capacity at the national level. UNFPA supports the efforts of governments to mobilize political will and resources for reproductive health commodity security, strengthen integrated health systems and reach underserved communities. At the policy and strategy level, there is evidence-based advocacy. To build capacity, there is training to collect and use data on computerized logistics management information systems. Everything depends on a functioning supply chain, which includes these key elements:
- Product selection, often using a national essential drugs list;
- Forecasting, which is based on past use, warehouse stocks and demographic and programming information to determine the quantity of each product to procure;
- Procurement, with decisions affecting cost and quality of products as well as the timing of their delivery;
- Distribution, where supplies are stored at central and regional warehouses, and then transported to health facilities as needed.

Going the last mile
The country-driven activities catalyzed by the Global Programme aim to ensure that everyone who needs them can access appropriate reproductive health commodities. Access is about going the last mile to reach a woman who wants to space or avoid pregnancy but is hard to reach due to poverty, geography, ethnicity, disability, displacement or age. Having access means that national policies are in place, the logistics management systems are functioning and the supply chain ends with a quality method of choice in the hands of the people who need it, when they need it. The ability to exercise human and reproductive rights depend on access. Ultimately, access to reproductive health commodities, including life-saving maternal health medicines, is a requirement for achieving the MDG and ICPD promise of universal access to reproductive health. And to UNFPA's mission to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

Underserved Communities and RHCS
Prioritizing affordable medicines to prevent maternal deaths
Nearly all pregnancy-related deaths could be prevented by these three interventions: Family planning to prevent unintended pregnancies, skilled birth attendance at all births, and emergency obstetric care when needed. All three are dependent on a secure, reliable stream of reproductive health supplies: contraceptives, antibiotics and other medicines and surgical supplies. In order to save mothers' lives, these basic items must reach the places that they are needed, not just this time, but every time. Often the death of a mother could be prevented by an inexpensive medicine, or a timely Caesaean section.
For countries in the Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security, UNFPA monitors the availability of five life-saving medicines at service delivery points. Several affordable medications have been prioritized in the UN Commission on Lifesaving Commodities for Woman and Children.

Focusing on underutilized contraceptives
Family planning, which enables women and couples to determine the timing and spacing of their children, is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions, with far-reaching benefits. Need is growing fast. But voluntary and effective family planning is only possible with a steady supply of contraceptives and condoms people can count on. With support from UNFPA, the largest multilateral supplier of contraceptives and condoms, governments in focus countries are creating the conditions for success. These range from strong national policies to well-stocked warehouses to health workers trained to provide sensitive counselling and services.
Three overlooked contraceptive methods—long-acting implants, emergency contraception and the female condom—are included in the UN Commission on Lifesaving Commodities for Woman and Children. Although these methods are in demand, improve maternal health and support family planning , they have received inadequate attention. The Commission focuses on making them more available, affordable and accessible. A choice of methods increases use of contraceptives over time.

Meeting unmet need: HANDtoHAND Campaign
Preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections
UNFPA is the largest public-sector procurer of male condoms and the second largest of female condoms in the world. Within the UN system, UNFPA is the lead agency for all aspects of condom programming. Condoms must be universally available -- either free or at low cost -- and marketed widely to motivate people to use them. They are the only method available that offers dual protection from sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, and unintended pregnancy. UNFPA promotes comprehensive condom programming, which seeks to ensure that those at risk of STIs, including HIV, and unintended pregnancy:
- are motivated to use male and/or female condoms
- have access to quality condoms
- have accurate condom information and knowledge
- use condoms correctly and consistently
Comprehensive condom programming is an integrated approach consisting of leadership and coordination of partners, demand, supply and support functions.
Mobilizing political and financial commitment
UNFPA leadership in reproductive health commodity security is recognized by donors and partners. UNFPA has mobilized more than $450 million from 2007-2013 for strategic and pivotal support to countries in the Global Programme. Major donors include The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, Luxembourg and Catalonia (Spain).
Budget lines for reproductive health commodities are a strong indicator of government commitment. A budget line was established for the first time in Nigeria and in Sierra Leone in 2011, with lines present in 11 of 12 priority countries in the Global Programme (excepting Haiti). Furthermore, governments are beginning to commit more of their national resources to contraceptives. Allocations increased in 2011 in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia (where the budget for contraceptives nearly doubled), Lao PDR, Mali and Nicaragua.
More broadly, UNFPA tracks trends in support from bi-lateral and multi-lateral donors as well as social marketing organizations and provides information on donor support for essential reproductive health commodities, including contraceptives and condoms. The research is presented in the report Donor Support for Contraceptives and Condoms, published annually by the Commodity Security Branch.

ATLANTA — Miss Georgia, Jasmine Wilkins, says she never saw a list of who would finish in the top five at the Miss USA pageant.
That top five included Wilkins, who's a nursing student at Georgia State. She finished as the fourth runner-up.
Sheena Monnin stepped down as Miss Pennsylvania last week and claimed the top five in the pageant had been arranged on a list before the finals from Las Vegas on June 3.
Wilkins said that someone may have seen a rehearsal list, but she knows in her heart that there was no predetermined list of the top five. Wilkins attributed Monnin's comments to sour grapes.
Wilkins is a graduate of Wesleyan, a private school in Norcross.

Planet Granite Portland Virtual Tour from Planet Granite on Vimeo.
After a wet and cold winter, our construction team is moving fast! We've got a roof and walls! Photos are posted regularly on our Facebook page!
Construction has begun and check out these awesome shots of our Portland walls made by Walltopia!
We are thrilled with our final product. It has been months of tweaking and fine tuning, collaborating with our route setters, advanced climbers and instructors, our local crack afficionados and many others! We think our patience has been rewarded - in the form of some pretty darn amazing walls!
For more photos and news, visit our Planet Granite Portland Facebook page!

March 2013:
We are thrilled to announce we will be working with Walltopia to build our Portland Gym!
Since launching in 1996, Walltopia has become an industry leader in climbing wall building and design. Their walls can be found inside Stone Summit, Momentum, Stone Gardens, SoIll and other great facilities around the world. Their creative designs and unique products, such as 3D curves, Space Walls, and non-marking surfaces create architecturally inspiring works of art that both look and climb amazingly well.
|CLICK THE IMAGE to view recent Design Renderings of the building!
"I love their walls and will be proud to put them in our Portland gym," says Planet Granite owner Micky Lloyd. "Having built our own climbing walls in the past it has been nerve wracking to contemplate having an outsider build them for us. Seeing the quality of their product and the passion Walltopia has for innovation makes me comfortable that we have made the right choice."
Over the years, Planet Granite has brought innovation to its climbing gyms, such as being the first to build a hydraulically adjustable crack and system board. Planet Granite Portland will take the best of what we've built, and combined with Walltopia's designs, be an amazing gym. We've laid out some initial wall ideas and we can't wait to see what Walltopia will dream up!
|Updated draft plans that include layouts of the walls! Check it out!
Between NW 14th and 15th Ave on NW Pettygrove St., we will build our largest gym: a 30,500 sq.ft.three story climbing, yoga and fitness facility. Plans include up to 60 foot high walls, top out bouldering, two beautiful yoga studios, complete fitness & cardio area and a variety of training tools for climbers including an adjustable system board and crack, and more! To compare, our largest gym in Sunnyvale is 28,400 sq.ft.
We look forward to being part of the already thriving Portland climbing community in concert with the other local gyms.
Although there are still details to hash out, and changes are likely, we want to share the good news with you! We're still undergoing some final environmental tests and City planning review. We will build a brand new custom built building and then fill it with climbing structures. We hope to open in 2014.

Hilarious and heartfelt observations on aging from one of America's favorite comedians as he turns 65, and a look back at a remarkable career
Billy Crystal is turning 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life, from entertaining his relatives as a kid in Long Beach, Long Island, his years doing stand-up in the Village, up through his legendary stint at Saturday Night Live, When Harry Met Sally, and his long run as host of the Academy Awards. Readers get a front-row seat to his one-day career with the New York Yankees (he was the first player to ever "test positive for Maalox"), his love affair with Sophia Loren, and his enduring friendships with several of his idols, including Mickey Mantle and Muhammad Ali. He lends a light touch to more serious topics like religion ("the aging friends I know have turned to the Holy Trinity: Advil, bourbon, and Prozac"), grandparenting, and, of course, dentistry. As wise and poignant as they are funny, Crystal's reflections are an unforgettable look at an extraordinary life well lived.

Celebrate Your Birthdays
Honestly, my mom always made me feel special on my birthday, March 14. When I was a young boy, she used to wake me up at the exact time I was born: 7:36 A.M. As I grew older and moved out of the house, it became the phone call at 7:36 A.M. Even after I got married and had kids of my own, I always woke up looking forward to her call—it started the day off on the right foot. I put that tradition into City Slickers, with Jayne Meadows's voice playing my mom on the other end of the line. Mom's been gone since 2001, but come March 14, I still get up

A Northampton Community College student from York County, Pennsylvania, has been evicted from the college's residence hall and suspended from classes and all campus activity after he admitted to selling marijuana -- for 10 to 15 regular customers -- out of his room.
During an early-morning search of 20-year-old Andrew J. Arnold's dorm room, court records say, Bethlehem Township police found more than 100 grams of suspected marijuana, four marijuana-smoking devices, sandwich baggies used to package marijuana, $176 and a small scale.
Arnold, who hails from Felton Borough, was arraigned this morning before District Judge Joseph Barner of Lower Nazareth Township and charged with one count each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance, and four counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Arnold was released from Northampton County Prison after posting 10 percent of $5,000 bail.
According to Heidi Butler, NCC's director of public information, possession of controlled, illegal or dangerous substances is prohibited on campus.
Allegations of this type generally result in an interim suspension, which would prohibit the student in question from attending classes or participating in classroom activities.
Arnold has received an interim suspension, Butler said.
If found guilty, Arnold could be suspended for a set period of time or expelled.
According to a police criminal complaint:
- Around 12:15 a.m. Wednesday, Bethlehem Township police was called to Northampton Community College's campus, 3835 Green Pond Road, for a narcotics complaint.
- The college's campus security explained that it had received complaints of a marijuana odor wafting through the second floor of the residence hall. NCC's residence hall consists of two buildings connected by a common area, according to www.northampton.edu.
- Campus security determined the odor was coming from Room 213, and escorted two Bethlehem Township police officers to the residence hall.
- A sergeant with NCC's campus security told police she spoke to Arnold and he handed over a baggie that contained a green vegetable matter -- suspected marijuana, a brown pipe with burnt residue and a digital scale with an unspecified type of residue.
- The sergeant added that there were suspicions that illegal sales of narcotics were "originating from the area of Room 213."
- Back at the Bethlehem Township police station, Arnold admitted that the items given to campus security belonged to him. However, he claimed the marijuana was for personal use and he used the scale to weigh the marijuana he purchased from his dealer. He denied selling marijuana.
- During the interview, Officer Troy Abelovsky requested permission to search Arnold's room at Northampton Community College, which Arnold granted.
- Campus security was present when officers conducted the search and found a large bundle of suspected marijuana -- believed to be more than 100 grams -- three glass pipes, sandwich baggies, $176 and a small scale.
- When officers returned to the police station, Arnold asked to speak to Abelovsky.
- During a second interview, Arnold admitted to selling marijuana out of his room and has 10 to 15 regular customers. He added that he purchased the large bundle of marijuana for $1,000.

Cities across the nation are putting their citizens through the ringer by subsidizing multimillion dollar sports stadiums. Now, Cirque Du Soleil, the amazingly successful Las Vegas show, wants in on the subsidy action in southern Florida.
Cirque Du Soleil and Miami developers proposed a $130 million entertainment complex in posh South Beach. It would include a theater, high end retail, and a restaurants. Cirque was willing to contribute $45 million, with the "public" (aka taxpayers) coming up the remainder.
Cirque scaled back the project (and the developer abandoned it) after it faced opposition--not from taxpayers and citizens but from other local entertainment businesses that complained the project would siphon city money away from them!
It's a telling example of how politicizing economic development creates a "zero sum game" for revenue. Apparently, Miami area businesses are so used to getting goverment hand outs they don't trust their ability to generate revenue on their own from customers.

Atrial Fibrillation (or A-Fib), sometimes known as "racing heart," is a common type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat irregularly. It is frequently associated with other heart conditions. In essence, the heart is like a pump, one that is controlled by a delicate electrical system. When this complex system isn't working properly, a person may develop a slow, rapid or irregular heartbeat with the potential for creating a life-threatening problem, including stroke.
Symptoms include palpitations, lightheadedness, syncope (fainting), shortness of breath and chest pain. The risk of developing A-Fib increases with age. According to the American Heart Association, 3 to 5 percent of people over the age of 65 have this abnormality, although it can affect patients of any age. If untreated, the risk of stroke increases considerably.
Fortunately, there are treatments options for A-Fib, including medication, implantable cardiac devices and catheter ablation procedures.
The array of medical and surgical treatments to improve a patient's health is extensive. These procedures are minimally invasive and carry a high success rate. However, the best approach varies among individuals and is best assessed by a cardiologist specializing in electrophysiology. Using state-of-the-art electrophysiology labs at the new Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital that are equipped with the latest technology to diagnose and treat this condition, the Trinity Clinic Electrophysiol-ogy program has the most experience of any in the region for comprehensive management of atrial fibrillation.
If you or a loved on is experiencing "racing heart" symptoms, it is important to schedule an evaluation with a Trinity Clinic electrophysiologist.
For more information, please call us today to schedule an appointment at 903-606-7525 or visit our website at tmfheart.org.

The Daily Star
---- — With the cost of living constantly on the rise, with our governments cutting back on services, even furloughs, increases in property taxes, income taxes, utility bills and especially the cost of gasoline, diesel fuel, home heating oil, etc., then why is it that the Otsego County Sheriff's Department allows all their deputies to take the county police vehicles home so they can travel to and from work?
Allowing the deputies to do this adds to the county cost of fuel, vehicle maintenance and an earlier vehicle replacement that ultimately is all paid by us … the taxpayers.
And now, the county is replacing its entire fleet with expensive Chevy Tahoes, which cost in excess of $50,000 each. The sheriff's response might be that all their deputies are on a 24-hour — seven-day stand-by in case of an emergency and need the larger vehicles to carry all their equipment.
Ask yourself this question … when was the last time a call-out happened and what equipment do they need to carry? I don't feel the cost justifies the reasoning. As with any other job. the cost of traveling to and from work falls on the employee, not the employer or the taxpayer.
Michael J. Stavola

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
Janine McGann, a lifelong athlete, spent her childhood as a competitive gymnast. She has competed in several marathons, half marathons, mud runs, 10K and 5K events. As an adult, Janine embarked on an educational journey that took her to from the East Coast to Mid-West to the Pacific Northwest back to the East Coast. In that time she gained her undergrad and her Masters in Speech Pathology. In tandem, she was a fitness instructor and personal trainer. She is a certified Yoga and TRX instructor. During this time, she got married and had three sons. Janine's workout method is to marry both the tough physical challenges of metabolic and heavy lifting with the calming, spiritual flows of Yoga. Her competitive nature drove her to be a better athlete, but more importantly, compelled her to be a better person trainer, wife, and mother. She saw a huge gap between a truly fit and healthy female versus what the magazines and even some of her peers were purporting as the "ideal" female body. The realization that females across all ages were being "told" that a certain size and look were the only way to be attractive and desired, morphed a vision. Her goal became to enable and empower all women through education and self-compassion. Janine's brainchild was born in 2009 as P.O.W.E.R., a business dedicated to helping women find balance through fitness, nutrition, a healthy self-nurturing attitude and a spirit of camaraderie among other women. She would entirely reconstruct how women see themselves and the role that health and personal fitness should play in their lives.
Whether training women individually or in semi-private groups called PODs, Janine's philosophy is to build strength in a non-competitive, non-comparative, supportive environment to help each woman learn to appreciate her own beauty and power apart from social or peer group standards. Every P.O.W.E.R. woman strives to become balanced in terms of health, self-confidence, and functional strength in a demanding world. For Janine, fitness instruction is not just a career, it's her calling.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is insisting that he will not permit any "rushing for the exits" this week by lawmakers wanting to recess for the year until Congress passes a bill to extend the payroll-tax cut and unemployment assistance.
Democratic sources on Tuesday stopped short of saying that Reid--in conjunction with President Obama--will forestall a final vote on the package of nine annual spending bills that were due on Oct. 1 until the payroll-tax cut and unemployment insurance are extended. Both are set to expire at the end of the year.
But Republicans certainly think those are Democrats' marching orders.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accused Obama and Reid of holding the government spending package hostage for political gain.
"This isn't just irresponsible, it's reckless," McConnell said in a floor speech on Tuesday.
To gain leverage in the payroll-tax cut debate, Reid may tie the fate of a separate, massive $900 billion-plus spending plan to finance most government operations in 2012 to the successful passage of the extender bill—even though House Republicans say "a handshake deal" with congressional Democrats was secured.
Despite that accord, McConnell said Reid was asking "his members to hold off signing the bipartisan funding" agreement.
"Put the political games aside," McConnell urged.
In what may underscore Reid's determination to get the payroll-tax measure passed, perhaps at the expense of stalling final action on the spending measure, a senior Senate Democratic aide would not rule out the need for another stopgap continuing resolution later this week to keep money flowing to agencies that are covered under the nine tardy spending bills.
The current CR expires on Friday, and without passage of an omnibus package or another temporary funding measure, a partial government shutdown could ensue.
Without saying whether Obama asked Reid to hold up the omnibus package or not, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Congress should not leave town without addressing the payroll-tax cut and other measures, even if that means adopting another CR.
"And I think if they were to do that, they would test the proposition that Congress's job-approval rating cannot go below 9 percent, because I think that—my expectation is that it would go lower if Congress walked out of town, refusing to extend this payroll-tax cut for middle-class Americans.
"If there is the need, come the end of the week, for Congress to pass another short-term CR, as it has done seven times this year, then they should do that to avoid a shutdown," Carney continued. "We don't need to get to that point, but if we do, this is certainly not a exceptional action that Congress would have to take to ensure that there is time to get the work done that it needs to get done."
A House Republican aide insisted that a handshake deal was struck with Senate Democratic appropriators on Monday and reiterated on Tuesday that Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, "told us he is on board for moving forward on our bill."
What appears likely is that a near-deal has been reached by the conference committee on the spending bill; legislative aides say that the measure is written and already is more than 3,500 pages long.
Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., said on Monday night that "all issues are closed" and that the group had an agreement, period. But ranking member Norm Dicks, D-Wash., was more circumspect, saying "there are a few things left that are still of concern."
The delay raises the specter of a government shutdown starting Saturday. Reid's position would likely require the House to pass a short-term CR but Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said House Republicans do not plan to do so.
"We think [Senate Democrats] should pass the omnibus," he said, stressing that Democrats would be blamed for shutting down the government.
A Democratic leadership aide attributed the delay to differences over policy riders.
"We haven't threatened anything," the aide said. "The omni is not finished—there are at least five issues still outstanding."
Carney said the negotiations aren't over.
"Despite some of what you're heard, there's been no bill filed, there's been no language shared," Carney said. "But we do know through conversations that there are issues that concern us, including outstanding issues with the funding levels to ensure that the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act can be implemented successfully."
Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, the chairman of the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, challenged that assertion.
"The omnibus bill has been agreed to by Republicans and Democrats," he said.
Even if conferees sign a report, it may not move forward immediately because of the payroll-tax politics.
The Republican-controlled House will vote around 6 p.m. on a GOP version of a bill to extend the payroll-tax holiday for one year; to modify, extend, and overhaul federal unemployment insurance; and to prevent a scheduled reduction in Medicare pay to doctors.
But Democrats, who control the Senate, would revamp the measure, including many of the Republicans' spending offsets.
They instead back a version that would incorporate Obama's plan to pay for the cost of extending the payroll-tax cut and unemployment with a surtax on annual incomes exceeding $1 million, Reid said. The Senate Democrats' plan would also make some changes to the federal unemployment system without slashing the length of benefits. The package will include about $35 billion in tax extenders that benefit businesses, teachers and individuals, Reid said.
Democrats also oppose a number of items they are calling "poison pills" in the GOP plan, such as its fast-tracking approval of the controversial Keystone pipeline.
The worry for Democrats is that once both chambers approve the must-pass spending measure, House Republicans will depart from Washington for the year and leave Senate Democrats--essentially--with a take-it-or-leave-it choice on passing the GOP payroll-tax-extender package.
Boehner told reporters on Monday that all of the funding proposals in the GOP package have been discussed before. "Ninety percent of the offsets are offsets that have come from the administration," Boehner said. "I don't see any real objections to the pay-fors that are in our bill."
Nonetheless, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he will push his members to vote against that package, calling it a "partisan bill sticking the finger in the eye of those who disagree with the non-germane policies that are included simply for the purposes of energizing a small political base in their party."
A few hours later, the White House backed up Hoyer with a veto threat.
Hoyer said that Republicans mean to appease "the narrowest base of any party" he has seen in his 45-year political career with provisions regarding the Keystone pipeline and industrial-boiler regulations.
"If they're going to pass this one, they are going to need 218 Republicans," he said.
Hoyer said a "rational, appropriate way to pay for" the package exists in the aforementioned millionaires' surtax. "It asks those who are the best off in our country to participate, to make a contribution--not to sacrifice--towards helping America right itself from a fiscal prospective," Hoyer said.
In a statement of administration policy issued on Tuesday afternoon, the Office of Management and Budget said: "If the president were presented with [the House plan] he would veto the bill."
Heading into Tuesday's vote on the package, known as the Middle Class Tax Cut Act, House Republican leaders said they are confident not only that it will pass, but that it will attract some Democratic votes.
"I believe that it will pass with bipartisan support today," Boehner said. "I look forward to the Senate taking up our bill and passing it."
Boehner could barely contain his glee after meeting with members of his conference Tuesday morning. Singing "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," the speaker grinned as he approached a gaggle of reporters before taking on Senate Democrats and the White House for refusing to get behind the bill.
Yet while leadership is publicly confident that the bill will pass, that doesn't mean they have the entire conference lined up behind it.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., widely seen as representing the more conservative wing of the conference, gave only a lukewarm statement at what turned into a GOP leadership pep rally following the meeting.
The bill, Cantor said, is "not our dream proposal—believe me—but it is and does represent a compromise."
Indeed, "there definitely are still people who are officially undecided," according to freshman Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., a supporter of the bill.
Boehner has a lot personally riding on passage; he has frequently tussled with his restive conference since Republicans became the majority at the beginning of the year.

Born on June 21, 1944 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, Scott was raised the youngest of three brothers by his father, who served in the British military, forcing the family to move from place to place, and his mother, Jean, an avid moviegoer who instilled a love of cinema into her children. Like his older brother, Ridley, he developed an aptitude for painting and art, which led to earning a fine arts degree from the School of Art at the University of Sunderland. After studying at the Leeds College of Art and Design for a year, Scott earned his master of fine arts in 1972 from the Royal College of Art, which he had attended on scholarship. He spent several years struggling as a painter, which... Continue Bio >>

With increasing weight comes increased weight-related disorders, especially osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes. It's up to veterinarians to reverse this trend and save our patients from suffering needlessly.
How do you take a new hire and mold them into a productive team member in 90 days? Methodically. The key to developing successful staff members (or quickly weeding out those that won't benefit your practice) is to have a training plan in place before they start.
Lots of leadership books and experts detail steps you can take to become a better leader. Trouble is, many times they omit the single most important trait of exceptional leaders – a positive attitude.
Success – it's what we all strive for in life. Whether we want a successful career or relationship, we all seek the best in ourselves and others. And most veterinarians achieve success.
Have you ever had one of "those" days? You know, the kind where things started of slow, your energy seemed low and your enthusiasm even lower.
Let's face it; things are just not the same anymore. The recession of 2007 until now has changed the way we earn, spend, and think about money. Many of our clients have lost or changed jobs during this period.
These are issues concerning your interpersonal and leadership behavior. These are the everyday annoyances that create toxic workplaces. This is something you do that negatively affects someone else. This is great because they can be fixed, often by doing nothing.
We see it every day: fat cats, fat dogs, fatter cats and fatter dogs.
We do it every day with practically every patient and client.
