1 THE SOUL OF FOOT MALPRACTICE CLAIMS Jay Grife, DPM, JD, MA 1 and Charles F. Fenton III The Footlaw Group 2653 Riverport Drive North Jacksonville, FL I. Introduction The screening evaluation of a podiatric and orthopedic medical malpractice case is not always as straightforward as it might appear. Many practitioners who are experienced in medical malpractice often fail to appreciate the peculiarities of cases pertaining to this area of the anatomy. This paper will help the practitioner to become aware of some of those fine distinctions and allow them to better evaluate foot medical malpractice cases during the client case screening process. II. The Plaintiffs to Avoid The first thing that the counselor must do is evaluate the potential plaintiff. Certain plaintiffs with foot injuries should be avoided. Although it is often wise to encourage a plaintiff to return to work and become productive which shows the jury that they are taking responsibility for themselves and not blaming every shortcoming in their life on the doctor there is a precarious balancing act that such a plaintiff must undertake. In fact, watching the client walk is the first and often telling indicator of veracity. The foot acts as the locomotion for the body. An injured plaintiff s ability to walk, run, move, and act independently is often diminished through injury or disease to the lower extremity. Therefore, a plaintiff who appears outwardly to be functioning normally while claiming to be in constant pain may not be credible to a jury. Even a history of multiple treatments by multiple doctors may not sway a jury who sees with their own eyes what appears to be a normally functioning plaintiff. The first example would be a plaintiff who claims to be in chronic foot pain following a foot surgery or injury, yet goes to your office wearing high-heel shoes. This plaintiff probably should be avoided. The second example is a case in which our plaintiff allegedly suffered chronic neuropathic foot pain following foot surgery, such that she required a handicap license plate. The defense videotaped her doing three minutes of low impact aerobics. Despite her testimony to the jury that before surgery she could do several hours of high impact aerobics and after surgery, even taking 1 Dr. Jay Grife is a podiatrist and an attorney. He is the CEO of Footlaw.com and his legal practice focuses mainly on medical negligence involving the lower extremity. 143
2 narcotic analgesics, the pain only allowed her to do low impact aerobics for a few minutes, the jury thought that she lacked credibility. The third example is a client who suffered foot pain due to a nerve which was inadvertently cut during foot surgery. She had constant pain, even after a subsequent second surgery which found the nerve to be lacerated. However, during the three-year period of the case litigation, she moved from the area and we learned that she was working as a clerk and sitting at a desk. Usually that would be a good sign of the client taking responsibility and moving on with her life. However, she was working as a deputy sheriff. The fact that she had to complete the police academy, including the physical training and the obstacle course, meant that we had to settle the case for a much lesser value because we felt the case could not go to a jury. The perception that anyone who can complete the police academy must not have foot pain was too powerful to take a chance with the jury. Look at the client s lower extremities and visualize the injuries which are alleged. We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words and alternatively, a normal looking leg or foot can be total silence. Finally, during the screening process one should identify whether or not the client is a smoker. Simply because a client is a smoker does not mean that the client should be avoided as much as it means that one should expect the defense to blame any foot injury on the client s own actions their smoking. III. The Defendants Once you decide that the plaintiff is acceptable, you next have to decide who to sue. When one thinks about lower extremity medical malpractice, one often thinks about a podiatrist as a defendant. However, podiatrists only provide about thirty-seven percent of the foot care in the United States. 1 Many other specialties also provide foot care and therefore, the potential defendant can come from various specialties. The reader is referred to the article Targeting the Achilles Heel of Podiatric Medical Negligence 2 which appeared in the April 1996 issue of TRIAL magazine for insight into podiatric medical negligence. It was written by Charles Fenton who is also a podiatrist and an attorney and who is a member of the Footlaw.com. Probably the next most common defendant in foot medical negligence cases is an orthopedic surgeon. A very interesting dichotomy develops in foot medical negligence cases when foot surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon, even a foot orthopedist, is concerned. In the medical arena, an orthopedic doctor, who by definition possesses the M.D. degree, is seen to have much more medical training to deal with foot problems, especially after a complication following foot surgery by a podiatrist. However, it often appears as if the orthopedic surgeon is held to a lesser standard of care when defending a medical negligence case. Although the podiatrist is often held to a higher standard of care, it seems that the old joke that if two bones are in the same room that they will heal becomes the standard of care for the orthopedic defending a claim of improper foot surgery. Many other specialties can become defendants in a foot medical negligence case. For example, a radiologist may be negligent for failure to identify a foot fracture on an x-ray, especially if the treating doctor relies upon the radiologist-written report and does not have access to the actual 144
3 films. Additionally, a plastic surgeon who treats a tendon and skin laceration of the foot, but fails to identify and treat an underlying foot fracture may be negligent. An anesthesiologist and anesthetist may be liable for areas within their own purview during foot surgery. Other practitioners who treat the lower extremity and may be potential defendants include general/family practitioners, internists, chiropractors, emergency room physicians, infectious disease doctors, vascular surgeons, general surgeons, neurologists, physical therapist and physiatrists, pain management doctors, emergency room doctors, and just about any specialty, with perhaps the exception of an OB/GYN and a psychiatrist. Of course no list of potential defendants would be complete without including the facility where the services were rendered, such as the hospital, outpatient facility, nursing home, or office/professional corporation. The negligence of those entities can be either vicarious or primary. For example, we are currently pursuing a claim against a hospital under primary negligence for allowing the doctor to perform Achilles tendon surgery when the doctor was never granted the privileges for such a procedure. As in all cases, it is incumbent to analyze the insurance coverages which a defendant may have to allow for funding of a successful litigation. Unfortunately, those practitioners who specialize in lower extremity care, treatment, and surgery, despite the discipline, often maintain extremely limited insurance coverages. It is common for a doctor to maintain $100,000/300,000 coverage limits. As we all understand, the economics of medical malpractice litigation often precludes accepting cases which such limited insurance coverage. Therefore, selecting the proper case, and litigating the same with fiscal restraint, often is the norm. IV. The Top Ten With apologies to David Letterman, we will provide our top-ten list of medical negligence areas of the foot that the counselor should strongly consider pursuing when undergoing the case screening process. Number Ten: Synovial Sarcoma Synovial sarcoma is a rare, malignant tumor which can initially present in the foot. Although it is a rare tumor, it appears that there are many current cases arising involving synovial sarcoma in the foot. Because synovial sarcoma in particular, and malignant soft tissue tumors in general, are rare in the foot, most practitioners do not think tumor when presented with a soft tissue mass. Proof in these cases often mimics a breast cancer failure to diagnose case in that these cases often hinge on the causation issue of proving that if the diagnosis had been made in a timely manner that the outcome would have been different (the client would have survived or would not have lost their leg). Number Nine: Wrong Side Surgery Despite wide spread publicity of wrong side amputation cases, wrong side surgery continues to be a major battle that the medical community faces. While a wrong side amputation is devastating to the client, a wrong side bunion surgery is much less devastating. A defendant foot surgeon who operates on the bunion of the wrong foot is likely to argue that the patient needed the procedure on that side, so what is the big deal. No real harm so no real foul. Of course the big deal is the unbargained for surgery on the wrong foot. Wrong side surgery is easily prevented if the surgery will simply write a big no on the non-operative side during the pre-operative phase. 145
4 Number Eight: Infections Infections account for a disproportionate number of foot claims. Infection, in and of itself, even after foot surgery, is not medical negligence. The main causes of action in foot infection cases involve either a failure to make a timely diagnosis of infection or failure to treat properly. Number Seven: Diabetic patients Next to infections, claims involving diabetic patients account for the most foot claims. Diabetic patients present several unique medical risks, including poor circulation, nerve damage, and lowered ability to ward off infections. For those reasons and many others, the physician has a higher level of duty when treating theses patients because they are considered high risk patients being more prone to infection and amputation. The defense will often claim that the injury was the client s own fault for failure to properly monitor and control their sugar level. Number Six: Tarsal tunnel surgery Tarsal tunnel syndrome is of the ankle what carpal tunnel syndrome of the wrist. Many foot surgeons decline to perform tarsal tunnel surgery because of the high incidence of poor results and malpractice claims associated with tarsal tunnel release surgery. However, the proof may be difficult in these cases because very often there is a paucity of objective clinical data in the medical record to support the patient s claim of chronic pain. Number Five: Heel surgery/plantar fasciitis Heel pain is one of the main ailments that foot physicians treat. Although up to ninety percent of heel pain patients never need to have surgery, claims resulting from injuries following heel-related surgery appear to be disproportionate. One of the main reasons is that the heel is a highly innervated area and injuries involving nerve damage or outright nerve severing, with the resultant chronic pain, predominate this area Number Four: Non Union A bony non-union is by definition a surgical or traumatic fracture which has not healed after six months. Between six weeks and six months post-incident, the process is called a delayed union. The claim may involve either failure to diagnose the delayed union or failure to treat it properly and hence the condition progresses to the non-union. In some instances the development of the delayed union itself may result from surgery which was performed negligently. Non-union ranks high on our list because the jury can see with their eyes the non-union on x-rays. Lay people expect bones to normally heal. Number Three: Hallux Varus Deformity Hallux varus deformity is a big toe which looks like a monkey foot. The big toes points away from the second toe and there is a big gap between the first and second toe. In such cases, use of closed footgear can be very painful if not outright impossible. Hallux varus results at times from over-aggressive bunion surgery correction. Although the development of Hallux varus does at times occur even following properly performed bunion surgery, because of the cosmetically unpleasing 146
5 result that the jury can see with their own eyes, this type of case and post-surgical case is one that should be visited. Number Two: RSDS Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (a.k.a., Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome) is a highly debilitating condition that can develop following foot surgery or trauma. Just like infection, the development of RSDS is not usually in and of itself negligence, but the failure to diagnose or to treat the disease timely and properly may be negligent. The results can be devastating for the client. In evaluating these cases, one should accept cases in the tertiary stage where the client is actually disabled and be leery of clients in stage one or early stage two. In an effort to avoid claims of failure to diagnose, physicians have labeled may patients with chronic pain as RSDS, when in fact they may simply suffer with chronic pain. The case should be evaluated to weed out a client which may improve and return to work. Number One: Amputation Most, but not all cases, involving amputation should be accepted. A lay jury just does not expect an amputation to develop from proper medical care, especially if that amputation develops soon after elective foot surgery. V. Emerging Issue The current emerging issue in lower extremity medical negligence involves claims resulting from cosmetic foot surgery. As reimbursements from insurance companies continually diminish, especially for elective foot surgery, many foot surgeons are beginning to promote and advertise cosmetic foot surgery. By definition, cosmetic foot surgery is not covered by insurance plans, so the fees that the foot surgeons demand are greater than what they receive when such services are covered by insurance. Cosmetic foot surgery generally involves foot surgery which is done in the absence of pain to create a different appearance to the foot, even when deformities are absent. Cosmetic foot surgery is evolving from current medical practices in Manhattan. Ladies are being targeted to have foot surgery in order to re-shape the foot to be able to fit into stylish ladies shoes, i.e., high heel pointed shoes. As the pressure for increased revenues affects foot surgeons, podiatrists, orthopedists, and plastic surgeons alike, cosmetic foot surgery is likely to spread from Manhattan to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. Many people undergoing cosmetic foot surgery may eventually be unhappy with the results and may present to your office seeking explanations and wanting to know their rights. VI. Conclusion The foot medical negligence case is unique in several factors. The foot is the body s method of ambulation. The damages must be demonstrable to the jury generally as an impairment to function and ability to ambulate, whether that impairment is due to pain, deformity, or loss of limb. While lower extremity medical malpractice cases are interesting and can be economically gratifying for your client, they have many pitfalls which require continuing expert analysis in the medical field. 147

Given that the great British barbecue is usually a washout – a provocation to the gods to be as vicious as possible – Met Office predictions that we were in for "a barbecue summer" may have been more accurate than people give credit for.
After all, they never spelled out precisely what kind of barbecue weather we were in for: the usual British variety, marked by granite skies and a heavy rain beating a tattoo on the marquee, or the less usual variety, featuring boiling sunshine, sun cream and wasps.
We should scrutinise the facial gestures of these human oracles more carefully as they deliver their predictions. In the meantime, we do have barbecue summer to look forward to – of the hot variety. The catch? It will be next year. El Nino, the periodical warming of the Pacific, is on its way, bringing drought to Africa, spoiling harvests and killing fish stocks. It sounds appalling – except for us, possible beneficiaries of a real summer. Get ready for a hot 2010. So they say.

Statistics released by the Ministry of Justice show that 1,706 people caught with a blade during the final three months of last year - equivalent to 25 per cent of those convicted of the offence - received a caution.
The treatment of juveniles was even more lenient with 34 per cent of those caught with blades escaping with a caution during the same period and only eight per cent being sent to jail.
A total of 8,368 cautions were issued to knife offenders for the whole of last year, meaning that they did not even go before a court despite admitting the crime.
Ministers today said the figures showed that more offenders were receiving an immediate custodial term and that the prison sentences handed down are getting longer.
In the final three months of the year, for example, 1,386 offenders caught with a blade or other offensive weapon (21 per cent of the total convicted for these crimes) received an immediate jail sentence.
That compares with 1,125 people (17 per cent of those convicted) who received an immediate custodial term for the offences during the same period in 2007.
For those who did go to jail, 399 offenders received a sentence of six months or more in the last three months of last year, compared with 153 who were handed such a penalty a year earlier. There was also an increase in the length of community sentences.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw said a pledge by Gordon Brown last June that knife offenders would face "a presumption of either prison or a tough community payback" was being delivered.
A total of 4,899 people were treated in hospital for stab wounds between December 2007 and November last year, according to the NHS Information Centre.
That is an eight per cent drop on the previous year's figure (5,350). The number of teenagers with stab wounds fell by 14 per cent, from 1,159 to 995, in the same period.

Cheese Pinwheel Rolls
To make these rolls, spread pizza dough liberally with melted butter, sprinkle it with cheese and spices, roll it up like a stromboli—then slice and bake like a pan of cinnamon buns.
Spicy White Pizza with Bacon, Shrimp & Asparagus
For this pizza, you build layers of flavor by quickly sautéing the shrimp in a little bit of bacon fat and freshly cracked black pepper. The bacon adds a subtle smokiness that pairs really well with the asparagus.
Homemade Sandwich Bread
Making your own bread is also really easy to do. It takes a few hours to make bread from start to finish, but most of that is for the actual rising and baking. There's very little real hands-on time. This recipe makes two one-pound (i.e. standard size) loaves of bread.
Buttermilk Pull Apart Rolls with Toasted Pecans and Bacon
Here's my take on a popular recipe for Buttermilk Cluster rolls. These rolls are crusty on the outside, soft and moist on the inside—and dotted with bits of bacon and toasted pecans.
Ginger Sweetie Pie Biscuits
These biscuits are a versatile companion for almost any cold-weather meal. Made with mashed sweet potato, they're moist and fragrant with ginger.
How to Make Challah Bread
Challah is a traditional yeast bread—with a glossy crust frequently dappled with sesame seeds—that gets its trademark golden yellow color from the addition of eggs. Older recipes include several eggs. Most modern versions, like this one, usually call for fewer.
Bacon, Basil & Tomato Pizza
Homemade pizza is one of my favorite ways to feed a crowd. This particular pizza combines two of my favorite things: bacon and cheese. Think of it as a mouthwatering take on a BLT in pizza form.
Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
When I made these the other night, The Angry Chef told me that, hands down, it's my best biscuit recipe. "Even better than my buttermilk biscuits?" I asked. "Yep, even better," he told me. Well then. I blame it on the cheese. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
Buttermilk Cornbread
Sometimes I bake things, then need to immediately give them away so I don't gobble down the whole pan. You know how that goes? This cornbread is like that. It's sweet, light, and soft�with...
Soft and Chewy Rye Bread
'Tis the season for leftover corned beef. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is a nice, fat corned beef on rye, spread thickly with mustard. This rye bread is easy and...

Employee had surgery and never stated his injury was work related until three weeks later.
Time limits for reporting the injury are pretty flexible. it may depend on when the employee knew he was injured or knew tht the injury was work related or knew he might be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. This is an issue you should be discussing with your workers' compensation insurance carrier. That's what you pay them for. If they feel it appropriate, they will investigate and determine whether to accept or deny the claim.Ask a similar question
Generally the longer the employee waits to report the injury the less likely that the workers' comp carrier will accept the injury, although there is no specific time limit within one year of injury.
If the employee went so far as to have surgery, yet not report the injury, your carrier (or the employer, if not insured) will likely investigate and contest the compensability of the claim.Ask a similar question

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Desktop Customization' started by jmeinema, Nov 10, 2009.
I got a whole bunch of these symbols on my icons, what do they mean????
They are shortcuts to something that has no assigned icon... so they use a generic icon. You can change the icons if you want to keep the shortcuts.
but they all are the actual save locations of the docments/videos ect... and they are the proper icons...
Yes.. but unlike exe files they don't have any icons ASSOCIATED with those shortcuts.. so they just use a generic icon... that's why they all look the same. What do you WANT to do? Do you use those links? If they are all in your documents folder you can easily Click Start and click on Documnets and get to them without all the shortcuts. Here is a cool trick that is realated that I only discovered yesterday... Right click on the taskbar and select toolbars... then New Toolbar... you can then go to any folder on your system and make a shortcut to it .. say for example Music.... then your taskbar will have a shortcut to Music >> When you click >> you get a list of all your music in that folder and can select any song you want to hear. Pretty cool.

A charismatic figure on the concert stage, John Wilson is known for the vivid nature of his interpretations and is applauded repeatedly for the rich and colourful sounds that he draws from orchestras in repertoire ranging from the core classical through to the twentieth century. An outstanding communicator and a recognised builder of audiences, Wilson has developed long-term affiliations with many of the UK's major orchestras and is working increasingly further afield, most recently with the Sydney Symphony. In 16/17 he took up his new position as Associate Guest Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Highlights of Wilson's 2016/17 season include debuts with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in an all-Bernstein programme, with the London Symphony Orchestra performing Rachmaninov Symphony No.2 and the UK premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Hakan, and with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in a programme celebrating the great Hollywood classics. As Associate Guest Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony, Wilson will conduct Korngold's Symphony in F sharp Major and Elgar/Payne Symphony No 3 amongst other works, with the BBC Philharmonic he returns to the recording studio to continue his series of critically acclaimed recordings for Chandos and he returns several times to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for various different programmes of British music. He also returned to the Royal Festival Hall with the National Youth Orchestra and with the Philharmonia Orchestra, continuing his Vaughan Williams cycle with a performance of the Sea Symphony.
In opera, Wilson made his debut with Glyndebourne Festival Opera in Autumn 2016 to great critical acclaim, conducting the theatre's first ever Madama Butterfly for their autumn tour in a new production directed by Annilese Miskimmon. Previous opera productions include critically acclaimed concert performances of Léhar's The Merry Widow and Strauss's Die Fledermaus with the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, and Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore at Opera North. Wilson has also collaborated with many of the world's finest singers, including Sir Thomas Allen, Joyce DiDonato, Simon Keenlyside and Renée Fleming.
In 1994, Wilson formed his own orchestra, the John Wilson Orchestra, dedicated to performing film music of Hollywood's golden age. As well as making regular and extensive tours of the UK with them, he appears annually with the orchestra at the BBC Proms, in 2015 with a Bernstein retrospective and in 2016 celebrating the music of Gershwin. John Wilson and the John Wilson Orchestra record exclusively for Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics) and their performances are broadcast regularly on radio and television.
Wilson has a catalogue of over 40 recordings the most recent of which is a disc of symphonies by Copland with the BBC Philharmonic on Chandos, released in September 2016, which received superb reviews. Born in Gateshead, England, John Wilson studied composition and conducting at the Royal College of Music, where he was taught by Joseph Horovitz and Neil Thomson and where he won all the major conducting prizes, and in 2011 was made a Fellow.

Passion and excitement blended with lucidity. There wasn't a trace of self-indulgence anywhere. The LSO were on exemplary form, the brass rich and noble, a warm sheen on the strings and woodwind playing of exceptional sincerity and elegance.
Everything about the performances signals a conductor and an orchestra who really believe in the quality of the music they are performing... Wilson manages to bring transparency and buoyancy to even the most massive climaxes.

The evening's other big success was John Wilson... shaping the music's ebb and flow as if he had been doing it all his life and revealing countless details... A sensational success.

Hollingworth rape charges dropped
It has been another extraordinary day for the nation with rape charges against the Governor-General dismissed. The family of the alleged victim decided to withdraw the claim, recognising that her death last month created too many hurdles to continue. The Governor-General, who has strongly protested his innocence, says he can now properly consider his longer-term future. But he still has to deal with the impact of the Anglican Church report into his actions as Brisbane archbishop.

MAXINE MCKEW: It's been another extraordinary day for the nation, with rape charges against the Governor-General dismissed.
The family of the alleged victim decided to withdraw the claim, recognising that her death last month created too many hurdles to continue.
The Governor-General, who has strongly protested his innocence, says he can now properly consider his longer-term future.
But he still has to deal with the impact of the Anglican Church report into his actions as Brisbane archbishop.
The report found his decision to keep a confessed paedophile in the ministry was untenable.
In the eyes of his critics, that's reason enough for the Governor-General to resign.
Emma Griffiths reports from Canberra.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: Sir Guy Green went to the ballet last night, the private reception his first official duty filling-in for the Governor-General.
He's been the Commonwealth administrator for just over one week, appointed while the Governor-General, Dr Peter Hollingworth, ponders his future.
He's still doing that today, considering his options after decades-old rape allegations before the Victorian Supreme Court were dismissed.
The alleged victim, Annie Jarmyn, died a month ago and her family decided to withdraw the claim.
SIMON MORRIS, PLAINTIFF'S LAWYER: Annie's death did not automatically extinguish her claim, but it did create enormous hurdles.
Some could be overcome but most could not.
And so, last night, members of Annie's family accepted that the application before the court must now come to an end.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: The Governor-General welcomed the decision in a series of filmed statements.
Seven sentences, recorded one at a time.
DR PETER HOLLINGWORTH, GOVERNOR-GENERAL: I say again, I did not know Ms Jarmyn.
I did not attend the camp at which she alleges I raped her.
I did not rape her.
I did not sexually assault her.
Now that the court has dismissed the claims, I can do no more than swear my innocence under god, just as I would have before the court, under oath, had the case proceeded.
Now that this accusation has been disposed of, I am able to give proper consideration to my longer-term tenure as Governor-General.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: There's still the Anglican Church report to consider.
The inquiry examined allegations Dr Hollingworth, while Archbishop of Brisbane, mishandled sexual abuse complaints.
Earlier this month it found his decision to keep a confessed paedophile in the ministry was untenable.
Findings which set off a litany of calls for his resignation and today they're still ringing out.
HETTY JOHNSON, ANTI-CHILD ABUSE CAMPAIGNER: It had nothing to do with the rape case.
This was an issue before that even emerged as an issue.
And 80 per cent of Australians felt the same way before the rape case ever emerged as an issue.
So it's two entirely separate things.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: The Governor-General admitted he had made a serious error of judgment and apologised to the victims.
His supporters argue, with the rape allegations out of the way, he should be allowed to return to work.
RT REV IAN GEORGE, ANGLICAN ARCHBISHOP: I would now encourage the Australian community to get behind the Governor-General ... who's obviously made some mistakes, but not while in office, and, as the Prime Minister says, and encourage him to get on with the job and do it as he can do it so well.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: There's been no word from the PM today on the situation.
He's in Sydney and his office says John Howard's planning a quiet weekend at home.
The Opposition claims his silence speaks volumes.
SIMON CREAN, OPPOSITION LEADER: What will be questioned is the Prime Minister's judgement.
And for so long as he continues to hang on to the Governor-General people will conclude that the PM is prepared to condone someone who covers up for paedophiles.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: One senior Cabinet minister has weighed in, advising Dr Hollingworth to consider the wider ramifications of the controversy.
MARK VAILLE, TRADE MINISTER: He will reflect on, I'm sure, any impact that that has had on the office of Governor-General and ultimately he will make a decision about his position.
REPORTER: Are you comfortable with Peter Hollingworth as Governor-General?
MARK VAILLE: I've made all the comment that I'm going to make on this.
EMMA GRIFFITHS: For now, the wait resumes for further comment from Yarralumla, where Dr Hollingworth and Sir Guy share the grounds.
And until the Governor-General speaks his stand-in will continue to fulfil the duties of the Queen's representative.
Emma Griffiths, Lateline.

At The End of The Day, It's All About Clichés
We journalists are a boring, predictable lot. Whether we're in the UK, US or Australia we all use the same clichés. Well, cliché, actually: 'at the end of the day'. Knowing I was a sucker for monitoring the Internet cliché Factiva (co-owned by Dow Jones, who owns WSJ, the paper I write for) sent me their findings, based on their text mining technology, on clichés in the media for the first six months of this year. Their findings: "at the end of the day" (uttered both by writers and presumably the people they quote) dominates all English-speaking zones.
The phrase was used more than 10,500 times in the U.S. media, more than double the next most used cliche ("in the black"). In Australia it was used 2,183 times, more than three times the next cliche ("in the red", intriguingly, at 679 times) while the New Zealand media used it proportionally more than either of them, 639 times against 147 times for "in the red". (Clearly Aussie and Kiwi companies not doing so well this half.)
UK media was in love with "at the end of the day" too, at 3,347 times, but that less than double "in the red" (1,877 times) and only around double "in the black" (1,628 times).
Here are the clichés monitored:
a laugh a minute

I guessed it was "bottom line" but that wasn't even being monitored.
I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. Anyone who has ever studied writing knows that one should avoid cliches as much as possible; there's always a better way to make one's point!

One of my pet hates is "Wow factor" or any other "factor" combination for that matter.
Admittedly, it is mainly used in tv programs, but is now also used in the written media.
Although I'm a professional flack, I try to fight the good fight against jargon and cliches. (I don't always win, as the clients are the ones paying the bills…)
While the PR industry is largely deserving of the criticism it gets in this area (often, if not mostly, from journalists), it is nice to see an admission that it happens at the other end of the phone, too!

Wildcats Come from Behind to Beat Tigers 22-21
The DeKalb County Tigers, who led most of the game, watched it slip away Friday night as the Hixson Wildcats came from behind on their home field to win 22 to 21.
The loss drops the Tiger record to 3-3 on the season.
DeKalb County took a 2 to nothing lead late in the first period when Hixson's Curtis Flanagan recovered his own fumble in the Wildcat endzone for a Tiger safety. That was the score at the end of the first period.
The Tigers dodged a bullet with 2:38 to go in the second quarter as an eight yard touchdown run by Hixson's Curtis Flanagan was negated by a penalty on Hixson.
Justin Matheson also misfired on a 33 yard field goal attempt for the Wildcats with 1:38 left in the second quarter
The halftime score was 2 to nothing in favor of DeKalb County.
The offenses for both teams sparked to life in the second half.

The lead-up to and the anti‑climax of this January transfer window only reinforced my view that it's a bad, bad system.
The most disappointing aspect of a miserable day was having to call Carlton Cole, who was still at West Brom's training ground, at 10.55pm and say to him: "Sorry, you're going to have to come back."
I really did feel for the boy but it was a necessity based on what hadn't happened earlier. David Sullivan and I had recognised he needed to go but circumstances dictated otherwise.
It has been reported that Carlton had a rant at me on the phone and that was right. There's nothing wrong with that — he was entitled to give us a b*****king. He'd just been offered a long-term deal at West Brom while his contract with us is up this summer and he doesn't know whether he will be given another one.
Add to that he would probably have played a lot more football at West Brom than he would have done here.
Matt Jarvis, at one stage, could have gone to QPR but didn't and that's one reason for me, why I have absolutely no time for this transfer window, it disturbs so many people midway through a season.
In the end though, both players are good professionals. Carlton came to see me on Wednesday and said: "I'm going to have to get on with it." That's the right attitude and the same for Matt. He will get another chance this season and he has to try and take it better than the others he has had so far this season.
What has happened over the last couple of weeks shows how quickly things can change in football. Going into the Bristol City game there was no real necessity to really bother with the wretched window.
All of a sudden we picked up a couple of injuries in that game, followed by three more against Liverpool last weekend.
That meant there wasn't much time and despite all our efforts, we weren't able to secure anybody before the window closed.
It was all a bit scary the speed with which it changed, particularly with the three centre-halves all being injured. If that wasn't enough, two of our young defenders, Doneil Henry and Reece Burke, are also sidelined, bringing the total to five.
Quite frankly, deadline day for me was terrible. I was on the telephone all day — in fact most of the weekend after the Liverpool game — the problem was that either the deals were too expensive or the players we were interested in wanted permanent deals rather than loans, which the club favoured. Loans, up until now, have always been more straightforward because clubs have wanted to unload certain players. This time though — and it looked like it was across the board and not just us — the players wanted permanent deals.
Another factor was that there weren't as many players available – full stop. Because of the way things are going, clubs are more inclined to hang onto their players now, rather than sell them.
Going out and replacing players has always been difficult but never more than now because the pool of talent is shrinking — you have to cast the net wider — for less reward at this level. Demand far exceeds the supply.
Our failure to sign Emmanuel Adebayor was particularly disappointing. He may divide opinion but he is a player of proven quality and ability who has made an immediate impact wherever he has played. If there have been any problems, they've usually occurred further down the line.
His renaissance at Tottenham was under Tim Sherwood and was a major factor why the team improved.
Emmanuel wanted to come here and one of the reasons was that his big mate is Alex Song and when you have a player like Alex at your club, it attracts other good players.
But we didn't get Emmanuel so we move on and focus on the rest of the season.
A lot of the players here are experiencing pressure unlike anything they have felt before. My question to them is: "Can you deal with it?"
As most people know, I break up the season into phases and although we have had a little blip, we can get back on track if we can beat Manchester United on Sunday because that will give us 11 points from eight games in phase three. If we don't, it will be below par, compared to the first two phases this season. We just need to lift ourselves a bit to make it three phases where we have finished eighth or higher on points.
There is no margin for error which was why I thought our defeat at Liverpool was one of the worst of the season in terms of goals conceded. That can't happen again because we will waste all our hard work of the season if we defend like kids again.
The goals didn't come as a result of great moves from Liverpool but more because of our own inefficiency which was the sad part for me. We let them off the hook and I'm not looking for excuses with our injuries.
These are the mental challenges and some of our players have never before been asked to perform so consistently. A few have — Alex with Arsenal and Barcelona, Kevin Nolan at Bolton, Stewart Downing when Aston Villa were doing well under Martin O'Neill.
I would like to personally welcome West Ham's new principal sponsor, Betway, to the Club. They, like us, are an ambitious, forward thinking company and join the Club for what promises to be an incredibly exciting few years.
The top 10 most tweeted about transfer rumours in January 2015
The top 10 most tweeted about transfer rumours in January 2015
1/7 10. Winston Reid to Arsenal
Arsenal needed a centre back in January and West Ham's Winston Reid is out of contract in the summer leading to speculation that Arsene Wenger could move for the New Zealander. However the Gunners ended up swooping for Gabriel Paulista instead.
2/7 9. Morgan Schneiderlin to Arsenal
Southampton's midfield lynchpin has received admiring glances from a certain Mr Wenger and an exit seemed likely after he expressed a desire to leave St Mary's in the summer. However the France international decided to stay with Ronald Koeman's team as they bid to finish in the top 4.
3/7 8. Danny Ings to Liverpool
At one point it seemed inevitable that Brendan Rodgers would need to address Liverpool's misfiring strike force. But Raheem Sterling's emergence as a 'false nine' and Daniel Sturridge's return from injury means the Reds boss can hold off any move for the highly rated Burnley forward until the summer.
4/7 7. Rickie Lambert to Aston Villa
Liverpool accepted a £5m deadline day bid for the England striker from goal-shy Villa, but the boyhood Reds fan opted to stay at Anfield and fight for his place.

5/7 5. Gareth Bale to Manchester United
The Welshman has an uneasy relationship with Real Madrid's demanding fans fuelling speculation that he could quit the Bernabeu after his record £85m move in 2013. Manchester United are long term admirers and have the cash to make it happen but the Spanish giants see him as the future of their team.
6/7 4. Paul Pogba to Chelsea
The Juventus midfielder has a classy touch and, in Mino Raiola, an agent who likes to keep his players on the move. The 21 year-old has thrived at the Italian champions and is highly rated by Jose Mourinho. Expect a bidding war for his services this summer.
7/7 1. Lionel Messi to Chelsea
Lionel Messi's slightly strained relationship with Barcelona boss Luis Enrique sparked rumours this month that the Argentine could sensationally quit the Camp Nou. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich would love to capture the four time Ballon d'Or winner but Blues assistant coach Steve Holland admitted in January: "When you look at the numbers being mentioned around Messi, I would think it's an impossible deal for any club working within the Financial Fair Play rules."
The pressure on Harry was enormous
I feel for Harry Redknapp. Bad knees are an occupational hazard for former players. One of mine is giving me problems which might necessitate an operation at some time.
As far as Queens Park Rangers and Harry are concerned, a parting of the ways did look inevitable, not least because most of the staff who worked with Tim Sherwood at Tottenham are already at Loftus Road.
If Tim doesn't get the job, though, then we've all misread the situation.
Perhaps Harry has looked at things, decided it looked ominous — and thought: "What's the point of putting myself and my wife, Sandra, through more of this?"
Whatever anyone says, the owners, the staff, the fans, it is the manager who suffers the most because you are responsible more than most. It is the manager who worries the most and loses the most sleep when your team is in the relegation zone. The pressure is enormous.
Harry says he will be back and I am sure somebody will make him an offer based on his past experience and know-how.
I haven't got a clue what LVG will do
We're looking forward to pitting our wits against Manchester United at the Boleyn Ground on Sunday.
We were extremely unlucky not to get at least a point up at Old Trafford and our home form has been good.
United have only lost once since November 2 which I find quite surprising considering the amount of criticism they have received, especially directed at their defence.
In spite of that they are only three points better off than at this stage last season under David Moyes.
Louis van Gaal has talked about his philosophy but I'm struggling to see exactly what it is because he changes things nearly every week.
Sometimes it's a back four, other times it's a three, sometimes it changes at half-time.
It can be a diamond, 4-3-3, 4-4-1-1 — he's tinkering but in fairness, it seems to be working.
With our injuries, we're not in the best of shape but there's no need for panic, we've accumulated the most points — 36 — any West Ham team have managed at this stage of the season since the inception of the Premier League.Reuse content

Scotland 3 (Jordan Rhodes 29m, Jason Davidson 63m og, Ross McCormack 76m) d Australia 1 (Mark Bresciano 18m) at Easter Road. Crowd: 11,110.
The Socceroos are still searching for momentum ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers after a 3-1 loss to Scotland in Edinburgh.
A memorable Mark Bresciano goal gave Australia an early advantage, only for English Premier League target Jordan Rhodes to square the ledger before half-time.
After the break, debutant Jason Davidson endured a forgettable introduction to international football after heading into his own net, before Ross McCormack sealed Scotland's triumph with a clinical strike late on.
Though coach Holger Osieck seized the opportunity to experiment with his squad - trying several players in new roles and making six substitutions throughout - the German was left with much to ponder ahead of next month's high stakes qualifier away to Jordan.
"Of course I am (disappointed), definitely. There can't be any doubt," Osieck said.
"Individually and as a team, we didn't do today what we are able to do. That was definitely disappointing."
Scotland exerted their dominance from the outset, albeit without seriously testing Mark Schwarzer in the Socceroo goal early.
With David Carney struggling for game time at his club, Sasa Ognenovski awaiting the start of the Qatari Stars League in a month and captain Lucas Neill without a club at all, Australia's backline was - and looked - short of match sharpness.
The hosts would rue their profligacy when Bresciano delivered the ultimate sucker punch on 18 minutes.
Having built a penchant for producing the spectacular, Bresciano's 13th goal in green and gold was perhaps his best yet - a stunning first-touch volley from about 20 metres that sailed untouched into the bottom corner.
Replays would show that Australia was unlucky not to have taken the lead moments earlier, when referee Tom Harald Hagen waved away claims that Scotland's Daniel Fox had denied Brett Holman's goal bound strike with his hand.
By half-time Australia had eased its way into the encounter, with the attacking intent of Robbie Kruse - deployed in an unfamiliar role on the left of midfield - particularly telling in tandem with fellow attackers Alex Brosque and Holman.
Content to absorb pressure and pick their moment of transition, the pace of the Socceroos' attacking trio on the shoulder of Scotland's backline ensured the visitors were an ever present threat on the counter.
Holman was withdrawn from proceedings with an apparent ankle injury minutes before the break, which will cause some concern not only for Australia, but for his new club Aston Villa, for whom he was set to make his debut this weekend.
There was more bad news in the second half for the visitors.
Davidson's ecstasy turned to agony within minutes after he miscued a header past substitute keeper Adam Federici to hand the hosts the lead.
By the time a second debutant, Ryan McGowan, was introduced off the bench, Australia had conceded its third, stretching their unwanted winless streak to four matches.
"See, even negative things also have some positives," Osieck said.
"The players now know where they stand and I spoke clearly to them in the dressing room.
"They know about my feeling and about my assessment. We will go from there and I will definitely draw my conclusion from that."

Green Wedge
Number of bedrooms per dwelling
Dwellings with 3 bedrooms were the most common in Green Wedge in 2011.
The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with Dwelling Type information, provides insight into the role Green Wedge plays in the housing market. For example, an area of high density dwellings that are predominantly 1-2 bedroom are likely to attract students, single workers and young couples, whereas a high density area with dwellings that are predominantly 2-3 bedroom may attract more empty nesters and some families.
In combination with Household Type and Household Size, the Number of Bedrooms can also indicate issues around housing affordability, overcrowding and other socio-economic factors.
Derived from the Census question:
'How many bedrooms are there in this dwelling?'
Occupied private dwellings

Dominant groups
Analysis of the number of bedrooms in dwellings in Green Wedge in 2011 compared to Mornington Peninsula Shire shows that there was a lower proportion of dwellings with 2 bedrooms or less, and a higher proportion of dwellings with 4 or more bedrooms.
Overall, 13.6% of households were in dwellings with 2 bedrooms or less, and 40.5% of 4 or more bedroom dwellings, compared with 17.9% and 28.9% for Mornington Peninsula Shire respectively.
The major differences between the number of bedrooms per dwelling of Green Wedge and Mornington Peninsula Shire were:
- A larger percentage of 4 bedroom dwellings (30.6% compared to 24.1%)
- A larger percentage of 5 or more bedroom dwellings (10.0% compared to 4.8%)
- A smaller percentage of 3 bedroom dwellings (41.5% compared to 48.3%)
- A smaller percentage of 2 bedroom dwellings (10.8% compared to 15.7%)
Emerging groups
The largest changes in the number of bedrooms per dwelling in Green Wedge between 2006 and 2011 were:
- 4 bedrooms (-67 dwellings)
- 2 bedrooms (+52 dwellings)
