The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has not issued a hazardous waste permit to Livermore Lab's Site 300 since 1997. After a failed permit process in 2007, in which public comment was taken, but then abandoned and never responded to, DTSC has recently issued a new Draft Hazardous Waste Permit for Site 300.
The High Explosives Testing done at Site 300 (in support of nuclear weapons development) produces significant quantities of hazardous waste, which contains or is contaminated with high explosives and a slurry of other toxins. Much of these wastes are burned in on-site incinerators. Site 300 is a Superfund site, with serious contamination from historical mismanagement of hazardous waste. The hazardous waste operations continue to threaten the environment and human health.
A public hearing was held in Tracy on April 27th in which the present community was given a short presentation and allowed to ask questions. The DTSC was unable to answer many of the questions. Comments were taken on the record.
The public had until Friday, July 1st to submit their written comment to the DTSC.

Today, the Rules Committee in the House of Representatives accepted an amendment offered by Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) to the Defense Appropriations Bill. This means that every Representative will get the chance to vote on it, including yours. The vote could come as early as tomorrow (Thursday).
The amendment would cut the budget for the new nuclear-tipped cruise missile, known as the Long-Range Stand Off (LRSO) weapon by $75.8 million and moves the savings to "deficit reduction" instead of a new nuclear weapon.
The impact of this amendment would be to delay the development and production of the cruise missile. As you know, delay is often a necessary and crucial first step to cancellation of a new nuclear weapon system.

Today, Tri-Valley CAREs filed a lawsuit in Federal Court for the Northern District of California against the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration for failures to comply with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) with respect to four outstanding FOIA requests.
The information requested is time sensitive and crucial to our mission. In some cases we have been waiting up to four years for responses. The requested information includes:
- Plutonium use in Livermore Lab's National Ignition Facility;
- Management of Livermore Lab and Site 300's High-Risk Excess Facilities, which pose a risk to the public;
- Details of the Agencies' plans to meet their plutonium pit manufacturing requirements, which might include work at Livermore Lab;
- And, details of an improper Anthrax shipment to Livermore Lab's bio facilities.
We will update this blog with the progress in our lawsuit and any important information learned.

This week the White House formally announced that Barack Obama will become the first sitting U.S. President to visit Hiroshima, Japan on May 27, 2016.
Secretary of State John Kerry went to Hiroshima last month. His visit was widely seen as a "trial balloon," presaging the just-announced Presidential journey. Marylia Kelley told Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, "Kerry went empty-handed. The United States needs to go with a concrete plan to roll back its own nuclear weapons program. You cannot preach abstinence, in terms of nuclear weapons, from the biggest bar stool in the room."
The U.S. continues to rely heavily on nuclear weapons and is embarking on a $1 trillion program over 30 years to upgrade every aspect of its nuclear arsenal, including with new warheads, missiles, subs, bombers and nuclear weapons production facilities.
Herein coexist a fundamental policy contradiction, a huge challenge for peace activists and, quite possibly, an unparalleled opportunity to influence the future.
Tri-Valley CAREs and colleague organizations are urging President Obama not to go to Hiroshima empty-handed. We are not asking Obama for a big speech full of lofty rhetoric and fancy words. Our message is: "Actions speak louder than words, Mr. President."
We are calling on President Obama to take concrete action to roll back aggressive U.S. nuclear weapons programs. Click here for more...

The Mixed-Oxide Fuel Facility (MOX), at the DOE's Savannah River Site in South Carolina, has been a boondoggle of epic proportions. Tri-Valley CAREs and other groups have long opposed it as a dangerous and wasteful approach to surplus plutonium disposition, for which cheaper and safer alternatives exist.

Here, too, we a piece of good news to report. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget request accelerates the schedule for dismantlement of retired U.S. nuclear weapons by 20%.
The Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration Congressional Budget Request (Volume 1, page 8) highlights the "goal" of dismantling warheads retired from the U.S. stockpile before 2009 by 2021. Given the snail's pace by which retired nuclear weapons are being disassembled, this is a modest goal for certain. Plus, on page 75 of the same document, the target date for taking apart warheads retired before 2009 is listed as "the end of 2022," a full year later (a DOE typo?).

The DOE budget request for nuclear weapons activities reveals the policy direction that President Obama wants to hand over to his successor. And, that trajectory is not merely in conflict with Obama's 2009 "Prague speech" pledging leadership toward a world free of nuclear weapons. It's an outright repudiation. Instead, it increases spending to "improve" nuclear war-fighting capabilities.
Make no mistake. The FY 2017 budget request is a down payment on $1 trillion in upgrades to U.S. nuclear weapons over the next thirty years. While much of that spending will be in the Pentagon for new subs and planes its driving force is found in the DOE budget request, which contains the funding for the new U.S. nuclear bombs and bomb plants.

The Obama Administration's nuclear weapons policy is revealed much more by its spending plans than its rhetoric. On February 9, the Fiscal Year 2017 Department of Energy (DOE) budget request will illuminate the programs that President Obama wants to pass on to his successor.
Will it increase funding for additional nuclear weapons programs despite warnings that "modernization" is leading to a new arms race? Will the President keep faith with communities harmed by nuclear weapons activities and request the funds needed to stabilize nuclear materials and clean up contaminated land and waters at DOE sites across America?
The DOE Fiscal Year 2017 budget request will answer these and other questions of great importance to the American people and the world. The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA), a 29-year-old network of groups from communities downwind and downstream of U.S. nuclear sites, will be looking at the following issues.

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic representation of how close humanity is to global catastrophe. Since 1947, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has changed the time displayed on the clock's face to reflect annual modifications to the continuous dangers that humanity is faced with. The clock reflects the world's two largest existential threats: climate change and nuclear weapons.
On the 22nd of January, 2016 the Bulletin decided to leave the clock at three minutes to midnight. While the Bulletin leaders applaud the Iran Deal and the Paris Agreements, they believe that these diplomatic achievements were not enough.

North Korea conducted its third known nuclear weapons test on January 6, 2016. The North Korean Central News Agency claims that the test was a successful small hydrogen bomb explosion. In the past, North Korea is believed to have only successfully detonated one-stage atomic weapons.
Hydrogen weapons are hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than atomic weapons. Hydrogen bombs are two stage weapons that rely on the energy released by atomic fission to create the conditions necessary for hydrogen fusion.
Based off of initial CTBTO seismic readings, North Korea likely did not produce a successful hydrogen explosion. The January 6 test produced a magnitude 5.1 seismic event. North Korea's 2013 atomic bomb test created a magnitude 5 seismic event.

CAMP SHELBY, Miss. - The view from Greer Chapel's steps gives pause. To the left is a plaza of new cottages, built for visiting dignitaries. Directly in front is the White House, in that spot since 1937, serving first as the camp commander's quarters and now as the adjutant general of Mississippi's camp command post. To the right stand rows of monuments dedicated to soldiers whose lives abruptly ended while in service to United States of America.
Between Greer Chapel and the White House lies the parade field, a lush swathe of green, replete with grand stands and ceremonial cannons, ready to host up to 4,000 soldiers at a time as they are mournfully celebrated by politicians and loved ones alike before marching off to war.
For 10 years, Greer Chapel served as a spiritual oasis for the 200,000 or so troops that have come and gone from places like Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan; a sanctuary for those contemplating their own mortality, hoping to not join their brothers-in-arms as a name on a monument just a few yards away.
The view from the chapel's pulpit is equally impressive, reminiscent of most any small-town Mississippi church. Equipped to serve most any faith group, with modern amenities such as ceiling mounted projectors and professional audio systems, the space imparts serenity though stained glass windows ornate with soaring eagles, magnolia blossoms, and doves bearing olive branches.
But Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Terry W. Partin's view from the pulpit this Sunday morning is very similar to that from the front steps: emptiness. Partin and today's assistant, Master Sgt. Vincent E. Burnwell, are fully prepared to lead worship for any that walk through the door this morning, even for just one soldier, but none come.
It's not unexpected, for today marks the end of full-time pastoral care at Camp Shelby. Greer Chapel's last Protestant service and Catholic mass for soldiers returning from the battlefield have been completed.
"We've had services here every weekend ever since 2004, and it's the end of an era," said Partin. "It's a bittersweet moment."
"At the peak, we had four chaplains and five chaplain assistants. There has been a chaplain on call 24-hours a day for the last 10 years. In the last drawdown, a decision was made to keep two chaplains [Partin and Lt. Col. Ramsey E. Coutta, the installation chaplain] on staff in order to provide around the clock care," said Partin.
The Joint Forces Training Center Camp Shelby Ministry Team supported not only the soldiers preparing for war, but their families and the local community. Most times, one of the chaplains served on the Mississippi team that went out with the casualty notification officer to deliver the wretched news of a loved-ones death.
Asked what he will miss most, Partin pauses and his eyes mist.
"The day-to-day with the soldiers. Soldier ministry is so unique. soldiers are just real; they will just tell you things. It's just honest, gritty, down-to-earth, 'I need help, can you help me, can you give me some direction, can you get me through this few moments.' It is real ministry, it's tiring, but at the end of the day you feel like you helped somebody keep moving. They've left home, especially in the early years of the war, having been in the Guard for years, never thought they would have to deploy to war, and it just hits them."
Partin's two combat deployments with the 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team to Iraq in 2005 and 2009 well prepared him to serve those going overseas as well as those stationed at Camp Shelby.
"I'll miss the comradery of the crew that worked Shelby. They'll say years from now that 'we spent four to five years working together at Shelby,' it was an era for the state of Mississippi for the however many thousands that served here. Later we'll drive through and say 'I was in that building' or 'that's the place we used to do dental', that kind of stuff. I think it will affect Mississippi for years, and the World War II generation may have done the same thing but it's been so long ago that we've forgotten."
As the page turns on Camp Shelby's latest contribution to Mississippi's military history, it remains in Camp Shelby's favor. The post has bones that date back to 1917. Soldiers from across the world trained for World War I and II here. The 101st Division formed here, later adding "Airborne" to their designation. The famous Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team and 100th Battalion trained here, and German prisoners-of-war were kept here (with many returning to settle after the war).
Greer Chapel itself was built in 1939 as a warehouse, and was converted in 1965 at the direction of Maj. Gen. Walter G. Johnson who noted that Camp Shelby didn't have a chapel. It was named in honor of his mother and her late husband, Ruth Nunnery Greer and Dr. Joseph E. Greer, and rededicated in 2005 as Camp Shelby again became a mobilization center.
For the near future, the chapel will be available to units attending annual training at Camp Shelby. Pastoral care for the few full-time soldiers that remain will come from their assigned National Guard units, local church community, or the command chaplain's office at the Joint Force Headquarters, Mississippi National Guard.
The view from Greer Chapel is expected to change little in the years to come. The Mississippi Armed Forces Museum next door will most likely grow, and the World War II barracks under renovation behind it will eventually wrap up. More artifacts from the first infirmary location across the street will surface, causing the post archeologist to shut down any nearby construction while she righteously digs for more clues in the dirt that has seen so many of our nation's bravest prepare for the worst of endeavors.
This historic spot, sitting atop a small hill, will wait reverently for the next greatest generation, ready to provide a sanctuary, an oasis, a place to consider one's mortality. Until then, soldiers can follow the example of the building itself, allowing their eyes to lift with the chapel's spire - upwards to the heavens.

A woman was taken to Dunedin Hospital with minor injuries
after a crash in South Dunedin yesterday.
A witness said the car, driven by the woman, appeared to pull
out in front of an oncoming truck in Bay View Rd.
Acting Senior Sergeant Ben Butterfield said the truck driver
had not been injured. Inquiries continued into the cause of
the crash, he said.
About 50 litres of petrol was taken from a boat parked in
Claremont St, Maori Hill.
The fuel was stored in the boat's two tanks and a jerrycan
stored on the boat, Senior Sergeant Mark Crawford said.
The fuel was taken sometime between August 21 and 31.
Clothing was taken from a Highgate clothesline between 7am
and noon on Monday.
The window of a car parked in Elm Row was smashed some time
between August 30 and September 1.
It did not appear anything was taken although a car door was
found unlocked, Snr Sgt Crawford said.
A nail gun, worth about $800, and a socket set were taken
from a container on a building site in Lovelock Ave, in North
A laptop was taken from the office of an Otago Polytechnic
building in Harbour Tce between August 29 and September 1.
Anyone with information about the offending was asked to
contact Dunedin police on 471-4800. Information can also be
provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555-111.

What tests do health-care professionals use to diagnose fungal nails?
Physical exam alone has been shown to be an unreliable method of diagnosing fungal nails. There are many conditions that can make nails look damaged, so even doctors have a difficult time. In fact, studies have found that only about 50%-60% of cases of abnormal nail appearance were caused by fungus. Therefore, laboratory testing is almost always indicated. Some insurance companies may even ask for a laboratory test confirmation of the diagnosis in order for antifungal medicine to be covered. A nail sample is obtained either by clipping the toenail or by drilling a hole in the nail. That piece of nail is sent to a lab where it can by stained, cultured, or tested by PCR (to identify the genetic material of the organisms) to identify the presence of fungus. Staining and culturing can take up to six weeks to get a result, but PCR to identify the fungal genetic material, if available, can be done in about one day. However, this test is not widely used due to its high cost. A negative biopsy result with high clinical suspicion warrants a repeat test due to the prevalence of false-negative results in these tests.
Most of the medications used to treat nail fungus have side effects, so you want to make sure of what you are treating.
Who should be treated for fungal nails?
Medical treatment of onychomycosis is suggested in patients who are experiencing pain and discomfort due to the nail changes. Patients with higher risk factors for infections such as diabetes and a previous history of cellulitis (infection of the soft tissue) near the affected nails may also benefit from treatment. Poor cosmetic appearance is another reason for medical treatment. Continue Reading

Hi all,
I've created my 1st site as a newbie in web site. Just need feedback for the same.
Hi all,
I've created my 1st site as a newbie in web site. Just need feedback for the same.
Good start!
The text logo in the upper left corner is a little blurry to me, and I would have the search box visible without the user needing to click on the magnifying glass (it looks out of place without it.)
For the 'Lighting' section of the carousel, the white text seems to have a little trouble standing out against the background (particularly, the word 'Exclusive' blends in with those windows in that picture.) Not the biggest deal, but something to consider.
Hi cjmarchione,
Thanks for your feedback.
The logo is of low resolution. I'm trying to make text clear. Could you suggest me a good tool(I created in word)?
For lighting carousel, i'll try for some other color may be black.
for the logo i would recommend you use an svg file. If you have adobe illustrator you can export as svg. Or you could use a free tool like inkscape. The advantage of svg files is that they are resolution independent so they will always look sharp this would be a good choice for your logo since it is re sizing allot
Thanks Mpwassler. I've downloaded inkscape and work on it.
Any other feedback if you would like to give, you are most welcome.
I set up a new free WP blog @ [ WordPress.COM URL redacted ]
I'm very pleased with all the groovy features and widgets WP graciously offers. Now if only I could only figure out how to make all external links open in a new window, I'd be in blogger heaven. Any idea's, can the free WP platform deliver on such a request?
I should add, I have about 40 outside links in my blog roll. How I wish they would open in their own window, and not systematically take my good people away from me.........
Please advise if you have a clue.
Thanks in advance whoever the kind sole that you are
@bdelande This sub-forum (all the .ORG forums) are for self-hosted WordPress installations and not .COM installations.
You're posting in the wrong place and may want to post in the .COM forums instead.
This forum here is for self-hosted WordPress.ORG software installations.
This link explains the differences.
It's a common misunderstanding. ;)
Any other feedback from wordpress community, would love to hear.
You could also add a favicon and the logo could be a bit clearer, maybe a HD pic of it?

Priest revives St. Michael
Waterbury parish renews ties to community
|The Rev. Nathaniel Labarda of St. Michael Church in Waterbury has been making making some changes he said he believes will benefit the parish. Darlene Douty / Republican American
Since 1986, the Bucks Hill church had been run by priests from the Franciscan order, largely because the Archdiocese of Hartford was suffering from a lack of priests. But by 2012, the Franciscans were confronting their own priestly shortage. They left St. Michael, paving the way for the archdiocese to appoint Labarda as administrator. The appointment was intended to be temporary.
"He was like a breath of fresh air," said parishioner Marie Therrien. "The children love him. The older people love him."
"All of a sudden, here was this very compassionate and humble man," said parishioner Susan Pronovost. "This was a man who wanted to know everybody's first name on the first weekend."
"He's really trying to revive the parish," said parishioner Frank Rosa. "He's very compassionate, kind. He'll do anything for you. He goes to the convalescent homes, the hospital. He does all the things a priest should do."
So immediate and positive was the parish's response to Labarda, they began to write letters to the archdiocese, asking that Labarda be appointed pastor.
Last month, they got their wish. The 48-year-old native of the Philippines became pastor of St. Michael and parishioners say he has brought new life to the aging parish. "Every place I go always wants me to stay," says the affable, slightly portly priest. "I don't know what I'm doing to them. I'm just doing my ministry that I would like to give as a priest. My ministry is to give them the love of Christ."
Within six weeks of coming to the parish of about 700, Labarda met with Pronovost, executive director of Brass City Harvest, and began a program of sandwich making and donations of personal hygiene items to the needy. The Waterbury organization distributes produce to the poor and offers vocational employment and training. "He is the only priest we've had that actually wants to go out with our social worker into the woods to see the campsites and talk to some of the men," Pronovost said.
Within months, Labarda began a Christmas pageant at the church. He initiated living Stations of the Cross during Lent. He established a children's Mass. He began First Friday benediction and adoration of the Eucharist. This summer, he says he will reinstate the church's youth group.
"The activities died out in the past years," said Rosa. "The Franciscan order didn't really want that."
Although parishioners suggested such activities, Rosa and Therrien said they were rebuffed. "It seemed like we were talking to deaf ears," Rosa said. "You could say, 'We liked this' and it didn't happen. They were very strong-willed."
"There was a spirituality that was singular to the Franciscans," Pronovost said. "They were rigid."
The oldest boy of a family of eight children, Labarda says he grew up in a particularly devout family. His mother, a housekeeper, would insist the entire family kneel at 6 every night to say the rosary. His grandmother took Labarda to Mass daily and when the priest at his home church needed an extra altar server, Labarda was conveniently at hand.
"I fell in love with the church," he says. At 18, he entered the seminary in the Philippines, sharing a dormitory with up to 40 students. After graduation, he read about the need for priests in Connecticut and wrote to then-Archbishop John Whelan, who agreed to sponsor Labarda at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Mass.
It was the first time he had his own room. He was the only student at St. John's without a car. To minister to his flock in Neponset, he took two trains and two buses. "In America you have so many things," he says. "Maybe the shortage of vocations has to do with all these things because we are just blinded by these things.
"I know what poverty is," he continues. "I know what these people are feeling because I've seen it in the Philippines. I experienced it for myself."
Labarda says he felt immediately at home when he came to St. Michael, although he did sense a problem. "When I first came here, it was too quiet," Labarda says, laughing. "I ask myself, 'What can we do to make the Parish alive?' I'd like to have St. Michael known throughout Waterbury that we exist. I'm here to help. I'm hear to heal division. We have to reach out with the love of God."

I broke my toe last weekend and I'm in a walking boot for 4 weeks and have a 1/2 marathon in November. I am used to going to boot camp 3 days a week and playing tennis. Not being able to do anything is going to drive me crazy. What can I do in the meantime?

swim? we have a machine at the gym in the cardio area where you sit on a seat and then pedal with your hands... looks kind of like a reverse bike... maybe you can find one of those
There are a number of aerobic crosstraining options while you can't run. You can also mix and match them.
If you have access to a pool and like to swim for exercise, that will put no stress on your foot.
If you have access to gym equipment, you should be able to ride an exercise bike or use a rowing machine without putting any pressure on the toe.
You can do upper body weight training, and most lower body weight training as well.

My job has a testing, staging and production enviroment. They want most database changes to be done on the staging environment and for the production environment to replicate the staging environment. From the research I've done, it appears that Mysql Replication process would be the best way to do this. So the Staging Database would be the master DB and the live production site would run on the slave DB. So my question is this.
From what I found, I was able to figure out how to setup a master slave database environment but the resources I've found do not go in detail on how frequently the slave talks to the master database. I would like for the slave to talk to the master either on demand or during a particular time during the day. I maybe misunderstanding the resources I am reading but thats why I am asking this question. I would not like for the database to constantly listen for new changes in the master log. How does replication work by default and how can I get it to listen at a particular time or when I tell it to.

How old were you when you met your DH? How old were you when you married him? What is one of your favorite things about him?
QOTD: Husbands
Technically I was 25 when I first met him, but I was 26 when we actually met and got to know each other, 29 when we married.
One of my favorite things about him is his ability to be my rock... he grounds me. It's an amazing feeling for me to know that I can always count on him.
I was 20 when I met DH although I turned 21 the following month. I was 23 when we got married I love how hardworking and dedicated my hubby is. He'd do anything for me and the kids
We met a month after I turned 19 and got married when we were 23. I can't pick just one thing I love about him. My favorites are his sense of humor and how sweet he is with the kids. I also love his thoughtfulness.
We met when we were 20. Married when we were 26. No comment on the favorite thing at this time. He's on the **** list. lol
I was 16 (!) when we met, 22 when we got married. I'd have to say what I love most about him is his sense of humor and his ability to make me laugh, even when I've had a terrible day. I also love his devotion to our family--he's just a wonderful husband and father.
Enough cheesiness there, eh? LOL
Met at 18, started dating at 28, got married at 30 He's my very best friend, thats my favorite thing about him.
We were 23 when we met & 26 when we got married. I love his sense of humor & how passionate he is about things he loves. He also keeps me grounded & is always there for me, he is a great listener & is really reasonable. It is great to talk to him when I am really struggling withe something, he always helps me see things more clear, even when I don't want too.
I was 17 when we met. Got married when I was 23. I like how much in love with our kids he's grown. He had a rough time being involved but now does a great job!
Met at 17 (almost 18 ) and married at 22. He puts family first and doesn't understand those men who don't want to spend every free moment with their kids.
LOL @ Steph!
I was just watching my DH a lot this weekend with Beni, and I also have to say, I adore who he is as a father. He and I have already had our troubles, but he always puts her first, is always ready to do whatever she needs, and just is fantastic with her. He built her a sandbox this weekend... now we just need sand. She's going to love it!
Met and started dating at 19. Married at 25. He is one of the most generous and dependable people I have ever met. He doesn't have much, but what he has he shares with anyone in need.
We met when I was 19 & married at 21(almost 22). My favorite thing is how hardworking he is for our family & is so very helpful around the house.
We met when I was 11 (he was 13) and began dating when I was 15 and him 17...married when we were 24 and 26 respectively but had our first baby before then! As much of an a$$ he is these days, he does provide for us and I love him best when he's not watching/doing sports (in other words spending more time with us!)
We met when we were 20 and started dating at 21 because we both decided to wait until graduating college. We got married when we were 26. I love most things about him but really how much he does for me and Avery and never complains.
I was 32 when we met. I was 36 when we married (we didn't date until I was 34).
One of my favorite things is how he tells me I'm sexy, beautiful, gorgeous even when I'm looking my worst. He always tells me that's just how he sees me and why can't I see myself the same way. It always melts my heart just a little bit.
Met when I was 19, married when I was 20. One of the things I love most about him is his generosity. He has a gruff exterior, but he donates blood regularly, and is the first person to hand over $10 in his wallet to someone in need.
There are so sweet.
Let me see. I was 21 when he joined my church group, but I was dating someone else still. We started dating later on that year and got married when I was 26.
My husband is the biggest sweetheart I know. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's also super patient and an AMAZING father. Our girls are his world.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- An F-16 on a training flight plunged into the ocean Thursday off the New Jersey coast after its engine quit.
The Air National Guard jet was one of four planes from the 177th Fighter Wing on the exercise. The pilot parachuted into the ocean, landing about 250 yards off Brigantine Beach, witnesses said. Within minutes, he was picked up by State Police boat, and Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the pilot was in good condition.
The pilot reported a problem with the oil pressure just before the engine failed, said Ray Martyniuk, a spokesman for the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

The Cardiac Cath Lab offers diagnostic catheterization of the heart chambers, valves, coronary arteries, aorta and pulmonary circulation.
Interventional procedures performed here include PTCA, including most complex cases, directional atherectomy, rotablator, peripheral angioplasties and valvuloplasty. The hospital also runs a 24 hour acute myocardial infarction intervention (primary PCI) program which is supported by 24 hour functional cath lab, onsite interventional cardiologist, cath lab nurse and technologist. The average "door to balloon time" here is less than 45 min which is comparable to the best centers in the world.
The cath lab procedures are supported by an expert team of anesthesiologists who make the procedures safe and pain free. Well equipped Day cath facilities, pre and post cath areas of international standards make the procedure a very pleasant experience.
Due to factors like smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia (increased fat in blood), obesity, lack of exercise, stressful life and family history of coronary artery disease, or simply ageing, a plaque starts getting deposited in the inner walls of the coronary arteries leading to partial or full blockage of the arteries. The blood flow does not remain normal and this leads to chest pain (angina). If it is not treated promptly, a heart attack (myocardial infraction) may result.
The diagnosis of CAD is made on the basis of symptoms, ECG and stress testing. Coronary Angiography, as the final test, to determine the following:
Angiography result along with clinical data guides the cardiologist to take proper decision regarding the final treatment. A special iodine based dye is injected into the coronary arteries of heart and x-rays are taken. The dye shows up on the x-ray monitor revealing the presence of blockages.
Angioplasty, medically called PTCA is a non-surgical procedure designed to dilate (widen or expand) narrowed coronary arteries. As the result of this procedure, the blood vessel is dilated and blood can flow more easily through the formerly narrowed part of the coronary artery. It is used mostly to treat angina, but is sometimes used as an emergency procedure to improve blood flow during a heart attack (primary angioplasty). A stent is placed in the artery to improve upon the result. The percutaneous nature of this procedure along with prompt recovery and discharge has made this a preferred treatment for patients who need revascularization.
A stent is a small stainless steel/cobalt chromium tube that is permanently placed inside an artery to keep it open. Stents can be placed inside many different arteries. Stents can be used to open the coronary arteries, arteries in the leg, kidney, neck (carotid), or other peripheral arteries. Stents are mounted on the top of a balloon catheter and then pushed through the blockage. The balloon is then inflated and the stent expands pressing against the artery wall. The balloon is then deflated and removed leaving the vessel lumen held open by the stent. Some stents are self expanding and are deployed without the aid of a balloon catheter. Rotablator: In this procedure the plaque is actually "removed" from the inside of the blocked artery by a coarse burr (rotablator) which grinds the plaque into small bits. These bits float away in the blood stream.
Advanced diagnostic procedures are carried out at the state of the art Heart Stations at the Escorts Heart Institute. These Heart stations complement the other world class facilities at the Fortis Escorts Heart Institute. The diagnostic equipments include eight treadmill machines, eighteen latest 2-D color Doppler Echocardiography machines, Holter monitoring systems, Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring equipment and 2 Pulmonary Function test labs.
The use of this full range of equipment and tests ensures that a complete picture emerges before preventive and curative measures are worked out.
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute constantly strives to procure cutting edge technology and was the first to acquire the first 3-D echocardiography machine in India. It regularly applies the techniques of multiplane transesophageal echocardiography, Stress echocardiography, on-line acoustic quantification and color kinesis for patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, which is the most important cardiac illness in the adults.
The diagnostic tests which are routinely done include Stress ECG, transthoracic 2-D and 3-D color echocardiography, 2-D and 3-D transesophageal echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging for cardiac resynchronization therapy and optimization of device, exercise and pharmacological stress echocardiography , carotid Doppler, peripheral Doppler ( arterial and venous ), renal Doppler, internal mammary artery Doppler, PFT, Holter and ambulatory BP monitoring.

Baucus Bill Saves Money (for Now!), and ... Doesn't Do Much Else
And more news on the current goings-on of health-care reform.
Yesterday saw the anticipated release of the Congressional Budget Office's analysis of the Senate Finance Committee's health-care bill. In other words, how much is this thing going to cost us? And according to the CBO, which is highly respected among both parties (except when their conclusions aren't convenient!), figures that the bill will cost $829 billion over ten years but overall cut the federal deficit by $81 billion. Sounds great! Oh, except that those numbers are actually very preliminary, and, for most people, the bill might not really do anything.
• You know how we kept being told that this health-care-reform thing was supposed to meaningfully impact the lives of people who already have health insurance? Ezra Klein doesn't think it will. "Unless you're uninsured, or on the individual market, this bill is not expected to affect you," he writes. "Remember this next time you hear some congressman talk about how this bill will revolutionize the American health-care system, either for better or for worse." [Ezra Klein/WP]
• In fact, the bill will still only cover "94 percent of legal non-elderly residents and 91 percent of all non-elderly residents" by 2019 (after which things inevitably get hazy, so the CBO isn't even going to try). That's not as good as the House bill, Jonathan Cohn points out. [Treatment/New Republic]
• Nevertheless, the fact that it cuts the deficit over time produced a "collective exhale of Democrats," according to Marc Ambinder. Now "no Democrat or Republican can argue that, based on the shared reverence for the CBO source, health care will add to the deficit ... even though, as the CBO admits, a projection is just a projection." [Atlantic]
• Is it ever! The CBO's cost analysis is based only on the bill's layman language, Chris Frates writes, and won't be official until it's translated into "legislative language," which Democrats resisted because it would have taken longer. [Live Pulse/Politico]
• Plus, as Republicans note, this bill still has to be merged with another bill, to create a new one "written secretly by Democratic leaders," report Robert Pear and David Herszenhorn. [NYT]
• It may turn out that the states have a ton of autonomy in actually implementing (or not!) the health-care-reform bill themselves, writes Kate Pickert. Meaning that "politicians could find themselves blamed for health-care reform that doesn't deliver, with less tools than they might have had to fix it." [Time]
• As part of a potential compromise, one of the things states might be able to opt out of is the public option, writes Sam Stein. [HuffPo]
• Which is a plan that, Steve Benen thinks, "should satisfy the concerns of Ben Nelson & Co.," otherwise known as moderate Democrats. [Political Animal/Washington Monthly]
• But, Timothy Noah writes, that's not the only compromise that could result in something that looks and acts like a public option. [Slate]
• The House, for its part, may not have to compromise at all, as it has enough votes for a "robust public option," reports Mike Soraghan. [Hill]
• Oh, and Bob Dole, despite some reservations, thinks Republicans should vote for it. [Kansas City Star]

PERFORATION of the jejunum is an uncommon disorder, rarely diagnosed preoperatively. The etiology is often unknown but usually is associated with advanced age, arteriosclerosis, or prolonged oral administration of chlorothiazide (thiazide [Canada]; Diuril [comparable US product]) and potassium therapy.1-8 Jejunal perforation has also been reported secondary to trauma,9 foreign body, jejunal diverticulitis,10 steroid therapy, collagen disease associated necrotizing arteriolitis,11,12 malignancy,13-15 and superior mesenteric arterial occlusion.16
This report documents an unusual case of jejunal perforation due to the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Although the diagnosis was not entertained preoperatively, it was suspected and confirmed intraoperatively, leading to definitive therapy and a gratifying clinical response.
Report of a Case
A 33-year-old white man (WRVAH-264522) was admitted with a six-month history of vague abdominal pain. His initial symptoms of postprandial pain relieved by milk and alkali led to the diagnosis of duodenal ulcer, confirmed on an upper gastrointestinal (GI)

Fire & Ice Girls Fastpitch
Celebrating 15 years of Fastpitch Excellence
May 14, 2015 12:00 pm • By Brent Wasenius / Fremont Tribune
FREMONT — Kayla Ritzdorf's college softball career came perilously close to just amounting to intramurals at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
A decision late in her senior year at Columbus High School, however, altered her path to Midland University. Midland coach Keith Kramme is grateful for that change of heart as the four-year starting shortstop finished her career as one of the most decorated players in program history.
"She is someone who just went about her business," Kramme said of the 2015 Great Plains Athletic Conference Player of the Year. "She never made excuses or missed practice. She was as consistent and steady as any kid we've ever had here."
Ritzdorf finished second on the Midland all-time hits chart with 223. She is also third in school history in batting average (.350) and stolen bases (54). She is tied for third in doubles with 37 and fourth in runs scored with 139.
Although she earned All-GPAC honors as a junior (first team) and sophomore (second team), Ritzdorf wasn't aware of her chart-climbing status until Midland Sports Information Director Dave Albrecht tweeted something during the season.
"All of it means a lot because I put my heart and soul into softball and worked really hard," she said. "But whether my name was in the record books or not, I had a great experience here. I've made a lot of great friendships and Kramme was a very good coach to play for. Being in the record books was just icing on the cake."
Ritzdorf's career at Midland almost didn't happen. Four years ago she was considering going to UNK and not participating in softball.
"At first I didn't know if I wanted to continue playing," she said. "I was a little tired from high school ball and summer ball. I was just going to go to UNK, but my (twin) sister (Lindsey) had talked to Kramme and wanted to play here. I decided my passion is with softball and I really enjoy it. I thought it would be fun to play with my sister again so we both decided to come here."
Ritzdorf became the starter at shortstop right away, although she wasn't expecting it.
"I came in with a good attitude, but I knew this was a higher level," she said about her freshman season. "I thought if I was a starter, then I was the starter. If not, I wanted to maybe run the bases or be the designated hitter or something like that. I didn't think I would be the starter, but I was hoping for it."
Like Jessie Smith, who started at shortstop from 2007-10, Kramme found a dependable fixture for his infield.
"She was pretty well schooled on the position technique-wise when she got here," he said. "She settled in to that spot pretty quickly. She played a bunch of summer and high school ball and she understands the game so well. I grew to appreciate that pretty quickly about her. There are kids that can do things instinctively and she definitely had that."
Ritzdorf hit .337 as a freshman, .338 as a sophomore and .333 as a junior. Part of a solid class that also included outfielders Jennie Sayker and Nicole Andrews, infielders Liz Spooner and Jami Redel and pitcher Samantha Hislop, Ritzdorf wanted to make her final season memorable.
The exercise science major knew what she needed to do during the offseason.
"I moved back home and decided that weightlifting was probably the thing I needed to do to get better," she said. "I did that through the summer and then came back here. Kramme kind of put me in a position to be a leader in the weightroom. He knew I wanted to get better and wanted my teammates to get better."
The additional strength paid off as the shortstop posted career bests for batting average (.387), slugging (.607), OBP (.475), hits (65), home runs (four), runs (45), RBI (36), total bases (102), walks (28) and stolen bases (23). She led the Lady Warriors in all but two of those categories.
After recording a combined 18 doubles in her first three seasons, Ritzdorf set a school record with 19 in her final year.
"She got stronger this year and hit more line drives," Kramme said. "She was also a tremendous base runner. She could stretch a single into a double. As a left-handed hitter, she would hit that opposite-field gap, but she could also pull the ball. She went with pitches as well as anybody."
The additional strength also helped keep Ritzdorf on the field. Although she was bothered by minor leg injuries her first three seasons, she played every inning of the Lady Warriors' 27-23 2015 season.
While many of her teammates were more vocal on the field, Kramme said Ritzdorf just quietly went about her preparations.
"Her work ethic, the way she approached the game and the way she played it were leadership qualities that were very important to this team," he said. "There is zero question in my mind that she earned the respect of her teammates. It takes all types of leaders within a program. She didn't need to be a vocal leader, her leadership skills came from the way she played the game. She had pretty good talents to back it up."
Ritzdorf, who also excelled in the classroom (3.7 GPA), graduates on Saturday. She has accepted a job to be a personal trainer for Prairie Life Fitness in Lincoln. Her coach doesn't have any doubt she will be a success in the next chapter of her life.
"That same work ethic from softball and the classroom will carry over to her personal training," Kramme said. "She'll expect the same kind of hard work out of her clients that she'd expect from herself."

Conflict of Interest Zoophobia
posted by May 9 at 12:40 PMon
Ah, the Seattle Weekly film section. This week, we have…
Scott Foundas of the LA Weekly on one movie. Ella Taylor, also of the LA Weekly, on two movies. Jessica Grose, a (New-York based?) VVM freelancer, on one movie. J. Hoberman, of the Village Voice, on two movies. Nathan Lee, of the Village Voice, on two movies.
Yet mysteriously, the Seattle Weekly failed to use the admiring, hilarious Village Voice review for Zoo, by Nathan Lee. No, Brian Miller had to step in and share his opinion, which is, apparently, that men who have sex with horses are GAY.
That's right:
What do we call these men who shun women and obtain sexual gratification in the company of other men? Oh, that's right, we call them "zoo" (their secretive, whispered contraction of zoophilia), a three-letter epithet that, we'r e instructed, must be redeemed, or at least understood. Because labeling would be wrong, and so would judgment. Devor and Mudede scrupulously avoid judgingor asking any hard questionsbecause Zoo is all about tolerance, don't you see? Parallels must be drawn, and bigots refuted. (The easy-to-loathe, deviant-hating chorus includes Rush Limbaugh and state Sen. Pam Roach.)
Anyway, Zoo opens this Friday at the Varsity. Congratulations, Charles!

Stanford's 9-0 Season Pays Off for Bettors as Oregon Nears
Stanford University's football team has helped bettors cash winning tickets for more than a year as it piles up victories on the field.
With Heisman Trophy candidate Andrew Luck at quarterback, Stanford has gone 14-0-1 against oddsmakers' point spreads in its last 15 games, including an 9-0 mark this season.
A bettor who had placed a $100 wager on the Cardinal in the first game of the run and let the winnings ride on each game since would have won $854,125, according to RJ Bell, the chief executive of Las Vegas-based handicapping information website Pregame.com. The hot streak hasn't gone unnoticed by bettors, many of whom have made a profit on Stanford at the expense of Las Vegas's sports books.
"They've been a thorn in our side all year," Jay Rood, the sports book director at the MGM Mirage, said in a telephone interview. "Everybody likes going to the cashier's window and they're becoming extremely popular from a wagering standpoint."
Next up for Stanford, which is ranked fourth in college football's Bowl Championship Series standings, is No. 7 University of Oregon on Nov. 12 at Palo Alto, California. The game features two of the three teams that have gotten the most public betting support in Las Vegas this year, with Louisiana State University as the third. Stanford is favored by 3 1/2 points at home.
"When you get down to basics, the public bets for two reasons -- they bet for objective reasons that are on the field, and then they bet for reasons that are not objective," Bell said. "Stanford and Oregon are two of the three teams that have been bet the most."
16,384-1 Odds
Bell estimates the odds of a team randomly winning 15 straight games against the spread is 16,384 to 1. The purpose of the point spread is to get an even amount of money bet on each team, reducing risk for the bookmakers, which profit on wager fees in addition to bettor losses.
Stanford has won eight of its nine games this season by 25 or more points. The only team to stay within 10 points was Southern California, which lost 56-48 in triple overtime two weeks ago. Stanford had been a 7 1/2-point favorite and covered the spread when USC lost a fumble in the third overtime after the Cardinal scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
In order to keep its chances of playing in the national championship game, Stanford doesn't need to cover the spread against Oregon. It just needs to win the game.
While Stanford is fourth in the BCS, it hasn't been able to pass the University of Alabama, which slipped only one spot to third following last week's home loss to top-ranked Louisiana State. A win over Oregon (8-1) may help the Cardinal gain ground in the polls and computer rankings that determine the BCS standings and title-game participants.
'Play Better'
"We've played well this year, but in this game we've got to play better than we've played all year," Stanford coach David Shaw told reporters on a conference call this week. "That's just a fact."
With a victory, Stanford could also avenge its only loss in the past two years -- a 52-31 defeat at Oregon on Oct. 2, 2010. That came three weeks before the Cardinal last failed to cover a point spread in a 38-28 home win against Washington State.
Since then, Stanford has delivered a winning ticket every game for bettors.
"You just can't slow it down until the bettors get burned by them and so far they haven't," Rood said. "I guarantee you we're going to need Oregon when it's all said and done."

A boy declared brain dead after a near-drowning incident has passed away.
Tyrell Wyche's aunt told WLWT News 5's Tammy Mutasa that the 10-year-old died at Cincinnati Children's Hospital on Friday.
Wyche was pulled from the Bush Pool Recreation Center pool on Wednesday. Despite CPR performed at the scene, Wyche was found to be brain dead. His family confirmed to WLWT News 5 that he had died Monday.
The incident remains under investigation.
