Now Hiring: Junior Designer | |
Written by Eric Reynolds | Filed under staff, meta | 7 Feb 2014 4:25 PM |
We are currently accepting applications for a Junior Design position. This is a full-time, hourly position in our office (telecommuters need not apply). If you don't currently live in Seattle, you must be willing to relocate.
• Thorough InDesign and Photoshop knowledge required. Any other programs are a plus.
• Strong layout and typography sensibilities.
• Detail oriented -- both in your work and in your ability to track change requests and stay on top of deadlines.
• Work well independently as well as with the various personalities of editors, artists, and authors, taking in and utilizing feedback.
• Ability to design interesting, unique solutions that respect and adhere to the vision of the artists we package.
The primary role as a Junior Designer will be doing book production, meaning you will be laying out templated books and occasionally creating original designs. You will also design ads (print and web), postcards, posters, etc. You will need to be a nimble designer, capable of solutions on a quick turnaround and able to maintain a steady workload. You will be responsible for sending press ready files to printers, so pre-press skills are a plus.
The right candidate could be anyone who is technically sound and enjoys production work. Knowledge of comics is helpful but it needn't be an obsession.

"If they were to pull off Krusty's heist, they were going to need a distraction, and Bart was best at that. Homer thought it was a stupid idea, but the money was too good to say no.
The next day, Bart and Otto arrived at Homer's house and readied up. They were to meet Lenny and Carl at the Springfield Bank where they robbery was supposed to take place.
Bart walked into the bank, and immediately began his stint, taking the security guards by surprise. And then Homer took over, bashing both in the head with his rifle and walking in, commanding every one to get down.
As the duffel bags were filled with cash, Lenny and Carl went to the larger safe in the back. Homer watched guard, as Lenny and Carl finished their gig. After they destroyed the civilian's cell phones and took out the phone lines, the group left.
Homer rushed to Lenny's car, pushing Bart in. As he went to hand the duffel bag to Lenny, he was stopped with a cold Duff beer, courtesy of Lenny
"Hey Homer, you're gonna need this."
Boom. A gunshot went off, straight into Homer's leg. Homer dropped to his knees, as Lenny pushed him over. In the back of car, Bart struggled as Carl tried to contain him.
"We don't need the money, we got what we came for." The car drove off, speeding away as Homer regained his strength.
Chief Wiggum's police sirens grew louder as Homer got up, awaiting his final demise. He leaned up against a parked police car, taking out a loaded .45 pistol and cracked open his beer. As he took a sip, the rest of the boys in blue surrounded him, guns armed.
Homer smiled and said one final word.
"Doh." "

LITTLE BOLSHEVISM Mr. Dhan Gopal Mukerji, noted In- dian lecturer, whose interesting talk of last year is still remembered by those who heard it, spoke again Monday after- noon to a small, but eager,, audience in the music room of Goodhart Hall. The subject-of Mr. Mukerji's talk was Ghandi vs. Bolshevism. "It is a difficult subject," said Mr. Mukerji, "for it deals purely with facts, not principles." "During the last seven years since the break of the Ghandi movement," the speaker went on, "situations in India were very distressing. There was much fighting between groups. Mohammedans fought Hindoos; Hindoos killed Hie Mohammedans. It looked for a while as if everything were going to pieces. But suddenly something happened. An Ameri- can wrote a book about India. This < book caused a sensation in India. Throughout the country there was a common belief that the author of the book was sent by London to India to write the book. Of course there was no proof to this effect. But the In- dian people believed this. This incident united the people." � �"�".� In explaining the spread of bolshevism in India, Mr. Mukerji said: "Among the industrial groups in the big cities like Bombay and Calcutta; there has been a tendency toward Russian bolshevism. There have beeir and are- still constant conflicts between the police and the laborers. In April, June and July of last year there occurred several general strikes during which many were killed and a big number of people were wounded. This was a sudden repudiation of the doctrine of 'passive resistance.' This 'direct action' was' imported from the Russian bolshevism." This Bolshevik tendency,- however, is only seen among the minority of the people. With the 70 per cent, of the Indian population who live on land, the peasants, Ghandi's doctrine, "the passive resistance" still holds. To illustrate this, Mr. Mukerji told the following incident: "Eighty thuosand peasants in a cer- tain district went on strike last: June as a protest against levying of high taxes. The Government auctioned off their property.- Hooligans, then soldiers. we�e brought clown from Bombay to intimidate the people. The people stayed at home so as to avoid coming into con- flict with the soldiers. Two months passed and August came when the peasants wanted to go out to cut the harvest. The Government refused to let the peasants work on the field on the ground that the Government owned the fields. So the peasants consulted Ghandi. �Ghandi came and said that the men must stand in front of the women to meet the assaults of the soldiers while the women tilled the ground. If the soldiers wanted to fire they could fire-on . the men. After the men were Shot down, the women would face the guns and would not run away. This was accordingly carried out; and there was not a single : shooting." Continued on Page Tour The Flu Flourishes The. quarantine will, probably- be maintained in some form till after examinations, according to- pres- ent prospects. The oUtlook for the rapid- deelijjc-of- the -flu jn this - neighborhood does not seem to be' very bright. Only wardens have authority to grant dispensations from the rule, and these are not given except for very special rea- sonss Meanwhile, beware of symp- toms. We are told that orange juice and soda are good preven- tives. Anyway they cannot do any harm, if taken in reasonable quantities. N. S. F.A. Meets mow Promoljes Spirit of Ce-operation Among Student^. Martha Gelhorn, '30, who attended the Fourth Annual Congress of the N. S. F. A. -before Christmas spoke to the undergraduates in chapel last Friday about the organization. Her report was aj follows: The National Students' Federation of America; originated in 1925 when dele- gates from 245 colleges and universities met at Princeton in an effort to arrive at some consensus of student opinion on the World Court. It seemed too good a chance to miss, and this convention turned it�clf into a permanent student organiza- tion whose aims are found in the first paragraph of its constitution: "We would achieve a spirit of co- operation among � the students of the United States of America to give con- sideration to questions affecting students' interests; we would develop an intelli- gent student opinion on question of na- tional and international importance; we would foster understanding among the students of the world in the furtherance of an enduring peace." And so this organization has- con- tinued with a membership totaling. 107 colleges and universities throughout the country. The people in the N. S: F. A. are not a band of mystics and vision- aries; they are a group of students who are attempting sanely to improve college life, making it more valuable and use- ful to .the national and international community? The best way of giving you a clear picture of the N. S. F. A. is by describ- ing the fourth annual convention held at Columbia in December. Continued on Page Two �N. S. F. A. Honors M. Gelhorn , At the Fourth Annual Congress of the N. S. F. A. Martha Gel- horn, '30, was elected regional rep- resentative for the Middle Atlantic States. This gives her a perma- nent position on the Executive Board of the Federation. She was also elected Chairman of the Standing Committee on Curricu- lum. Virginia Hofcart, ?31, has ^been appointed to the position of Secretary of this jNat^oal, Com- mittee. * I �' : Mr. Hughes Oversteps Monroe in New Treaties President Park spoke in chapel on Monday morning of the interest that she feels in the Multilateral Treaties between the Americas that were signed a week ago Saturday. She feels that they are more important than the Kellogg Pact renouncing war, in that they arc more tangible. The Pan-American congress which met last year at Havana, Miss Park went on to explain, included all of the Republics except Argentine. This, as well as the fact that she is not a member of me League of Nations, seems a bit sinister. Argentine is growing very rapidly in economic and industrial prosperity, and her sense of nationalism is growing apace, but her unwillingness to cctoperate with any other power is indeed puYzlir/fcy The affairs got into a jam at the last conference at Havana, and a proposal to have a conference in Washington this year to deal with arbitration and to con- sider Multi-lateral treaties, was accepted. The Monroe Doctrine is uni-lateral, and therefore insufficient in that it is not joint and binding. Miss Park pointed out. Two events which took place simul- taneously with the recent conference were Mr. Cha'rles Evans Hughes' election to a judgeship on .the World Court, and the quarrel between Bolivia and Para- guay. The first came as a stimulus and the second as confirmation of the need for such treaties. Secretary Kellogg pre- sided and Mr. Hughes represented the United States. Last Saturday the �Treaties were^ signed by twenty of the ^ Continued on Page Three Wyndham Receives '� Sophomores Entertain All at Hilarious Crowded Fair. _Frgm a Roman Orgy to a County Fair is �a. big jump but the entertainment which the class of '31 gave the freshmen Saturday night, January 12, proved as enjoyable as the orgy last year. v Great difficulties were encountered in finding a place to stage the fete. Satur- day afternoon the .Sophmores found to their amazement that the gym floor had just received a new coat of varnish, which was no doubt very much needed but was very inopportunely given. Finally the committee succeeded in securing Wynd- ham and "nastily pitched hay and threw colored paper .until the sedate music roonV looked like a barn and smelted like a hay loft. Promptly at 8.30 farmers and more farmers began pouring in until it be- came almost dangerou's to move, much less dance. Every one dashed madly W around, grabbing programs (this time the upper classmen were not forgotten), admiring 'costumes, eating ice cream and wondering why the music didn't come AJ1 this time the poor musicians were waiting patiently in the station, because (licy didn't know where to go. Some time after 9 o'clock they arrived and the fun began. Such jostling and tread- ing on toes could-not have been exceeded at a real fair. Of course very few people found their right partners, al- though Miss I<ord, the floor manager and official bouncer, gave careful instruc- tions about just where to find them. But everybody danced, or.amused themselves in some less strenuous way. There were no lonely dairy maids or bashful bump- kins. The costumes were ingenious. The Cross sisters should open in vaudeville immediately. Their shirts would be enough to make them famous. Our country friends would probably have ken a little astonished if they had looked in and seen the various Russians. Bava- rians, beggars, sailors and old-fashioned ladies. But they added tevthe atmosphere i>' not to the country atmosphere. The food was more countrified. Ice" i ream, lollipops, hot dogs. There really was enough of it. Some people had more than others but that is only be- cause the � latter hadn't enough push to gel there first. The hit of the evening which com- pletely overshadowed the costumes and the food, was the "Punch and Judy" show. "Hsmera-cl. the very swell," was a dramatic masterpiece and Miss Dyer's nasal twang superb. Although Wyndham was easier to decorate than the gym. it was too smalt for a fair. The dancing amounted really to a game of dodging. But then if you got too crowded you could retire and smoke cigarettes or have your fortune told. Mrs. Manning Leaves to Finish Thesis at Home Dean Manning, it was learned this week, will have leave^of absence during the second semester and Miss Milticent Carey, the present Assistant to the Dean, will be Acting Dean, while Miss Gardi- :r will be Assistant to the Dean. Mrs. Manning informed a representa- tive of the N'Ews that she planned to remain for a large part of the time in her house on the hill, working at the task of preparing her doctor's thesis for publication by the Yale Press. The thesis is on the subject of British Colorual Government from 1783 to 1820. Mrs. Manning is now making additions to the original text. In the late spring or sum- mer she will probably go abroad for a few months, returning to the college in the fall. Mrs. Manning told our representative that she did not expect to be seen around the campus after the beginning of the next semester, but added that she will be glad to receive any friends who come to call. Ossip Gabrilow itsch Alumnae Successful in Many Fields We have been asked to publish some account of what the most recent Alumnae of the college arc doing with their new- found freedom. Ordinarily this task has been left to the Alumnae Bulletin, bnt a glance at the most recent issue will show that even there the informa- tion is very meager. Necessarily so, since one person cannot discover without inordinate effort what sixty scattered classmates are doing. For the benefit of people who are interested in knowing what happens to people in thc'Tirst year or so after they leave the college, we publish the following scattered notes: The class of 1928 seems to run to business and commerce. Cornelia Rose has a position in the statistical department of the American Exchange Bank. Hetty Stewart is (or was) secretary to one of the Art Direc- tors of the Blackmail Company Adver- tising Agency. Helen McKclvcy has founded a book-selling agency, the Week End I'.ook Service, in New York, and claims to be making money by exploiting the college field. Virginia Atmorc works in Atmore and Company as her father's right-hand woman. The company makes mined meat and other good things.- Vir- ginia, however, is also interested in the International Federation and may desert business for" work in connection with that organization.

Ossip Gabrilowitsch, one of./he world's foremost pianists, will play in Goodhart Hall on Wednesday evening, January 18, at 8.15. This will be the fourth "artistic event'' in the Goodhart Hall series, which lias hitherto proved so successful. Mr. Gabrilowitsch, in addition to his fame as a pianist, has lately become known to Philadelphia audiences as a conductor. H<whas been Guest Conduc- tor with the Philadelphia Orchestra dur- ing December and January. He has been the permanent conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 1918. A pupil of Rubinstein, he made his debut u. Merlin in 1896; since then he has made numerous tours throughout Europe and America. In 1912 he gave a series of six concerts with orchestra in Berlin, per- forming the almost unprecedented feat of playing nineteen concertos from memory, and in 191."> he gave a series of six historical recitals in New York, Bos- ton and Chicago covering practically the entire range of piano literature.

In regard to this, the (juestion was raised as to whether such a rule applied to the College Inn and it was emphasized that all lea houses in Hryn Mawr were included by the resolu- tion, hut that very naturally, no smoking was permitted on the village streets. Two more names, the Venture Gardens and the RendVz-Vous, were added to the list of places where students are allowed to dine unchaperoned. � A motion was passed empowering the Board to rewrite the rules of the association and reassemble them in better order. ���

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My partner is about to under go surgery for liver cancer. Are there any recommendations for diet before surgery and after surgery for liver cancer?
Ellen Sweeney, RD, registered dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
There is no special pre-op diet for liver cancer surgery. The most important thing is to consume adequate calories and protein to maintain one's weight so that the patient is not nutritionally depleted going into surgery. It is even beneficial to gain some weight prior to surgery if there has been unintentional weight loss leading up to it. There should not be any limits placed on the patient's diet at this time unless the doctor has indicated otherwise.
Mar 4, 2015 - Dietary nutrient composition may be associated with an increased or decreased long-term risk of developing cirrhosis or liver cancer, according to a study published in the July issue of Hepatology.

It has a nice ring to it
This replica 1980 championship ring was given to fans at Veterans Stadium on April 19, 1981, the first Sunday home game of the new season. But it is no cheap, plastic, disposable item. It's solid metal and just donated to the Hall by longtime Phils fan Duane Cosner, who was at that game as a 10-year-old child.
This ring was added to the Hall of Fame's exhibit that's dedicated to the 2008 World Series, Autumn Glory. Until November 2009, we will show the equipment and uniforms used in the 2008 Fall Classic, such as the Game 5 jersey of Series MVP Cole Hamels. The exhibit also includes some unusual items, such as the "Elmer Fudd" cap worn by Rays manager Joe Maddon in the cold and rain of Philadelphia and the rule book used by Commissioner Bud Selig when he made history by suspending Game 5.
The 2008 Phillies will receive rings celebrating their championship, only the second in the history of the franchise, at the beginning of the regular season. In June, the Hall will get a copy of that ring, as we do every year, and put it on display in the World Series exhibit as well. Check back later this spring to learn when the Hall of Fame's 2008 world championship ring will go on display.
Erik Strohl is the senior director of exhibits and collections at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Erik…. that's too cool. I was at that game as well….. I would have been 15…. I still have two of those rings… one out of the package, and one still in the package.
Bill Fuhrer
Dear Bill,
Thanks for your note. The ring was donated by a personal friend of mine after the Phils won last year. He still remembers fondly the game in 1981 at which they were handed out. We have put the ring on display in our World Series exhibit.Thanks for touching base with the Hall of Fame and being being a fan of baseball. It's the greatest sport on the planet and we are glad that so many others share our passion for the game.

Green Right Now
It's The Year of Living Dangerously all over again.
On Tuesday, two journalists were arrested in Sumatra while covering a politically sensitive topic – palm oil harvesting and the ensuing decimation of Southeast Asia's old-growth, carbon-capturing rainforests, and the subsequent release of giant CO2 pockets that lie beneath the forests and their peat swamps.
More disturbing than the reporters' deportation, though, is how little we consumers seem to realize that, not only are we what we eat, but when it comes to palm oil, we are eating our own lifeblood. We're 'eating' our oxygen, we're 'eating' our fellow species. We're consuming our own future by driving up carbon emissions much faster than we can offset them. We are the snake eating its own tail.
Mass deforestation, due to the rapid establishment of palm oil plantations backed by multinational corporations, has recently made Indonesia the third-largest carbon emitter in the world. Think of it, number three – after the more industrialized China and the United States.
Indonesia's neighbors, Malaysia and Papaua, New Guinea, also are top producers of palm oil, making Southeast Asia a veritable carbon drain. Because of rapid rainforest loss in these sensitive areas, experts estimate that between 50 and 60 endangered orangutans perish each week, as their habits are destroyed or they are killed by workers. Roughly two football fields worth of rainforests are felled every minute by palm oil plantations, bellowing out stored carbon.
In addition, recent studies show that global deforestation creates one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions; and conversely, that tropical forests now absorb one-fifth of the world's carbon emissions that are caused by burning fossil fuels.
"Rainforests are one of the biggest ways that carbon gets absorbed from the atmosphere, so rainforests and trees and peat swamps – the whole ecosystem – takes in a large amount of carbon and stores it," says Margaret Swink, of the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), which in the past year has stepped up its protests against companies like Cargill, which uses palm oil in many manufactured foods.
"It only releases when you destroy it – burning being the worst way. When rainforests are cut and burned, you've just released millennia of carbon absorption into the air, which is why rainforest destruction is such a threat. …You've just released all this carbon into the atmosphere, but because it's a cycle (remember studying the carbon cycle in fourth-grade science?), you've also taken away the thing that was removing carbon from the atmosphere … and so when you replant a palm-oil plantation, it doesn't absorb as much carbon that those older trees – as that whole ecosystem did" for many thousands of years.
And we, the current people generation, get a double carbon-whammy.
But until, say, two to five years ago, who knew that some of our favorite foods – holiday season or not – contain palm oil derivatives to preserve, add flavor to or fry foods to a golden crispness? Things like cocoa mix, crackers, potato chips, margarine, instant soups, cakes, chocolate bars, cookies, even certain types of granola are all formulated with palm oil.
Yet, as the holidays hover around us and we try to figure out what we're really giving thanks for, we can take simple steps to slow rainforest destruction. We can learn about campaigns, such as RAN's recent Call Cargill campaign and check out our pantry for products that rely on palm oil.
"Palm oil is the leading driver of deforestation in the second-largest standing rainforest, which is in Indonesia," says Swink, who used to work for the Peace Corps in Cameroon; seeing trucks drive past her house, hauling thousand-year-old trees led her to RAN, headquartered in San Francisco.
"There are three areas of tropical rainforests still left in the world – the Amazon, Indonesia and Malaysia. Then there's the Congo Basin. … But in Southeast Asia, we're seeing the fastest rate of deforestation. RAN has been looking at the incredible rate of destruction, intersecting that with climate change. And Indonesia is now the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter on the planet, after the U.S. and China. But with the USA it's fossil fuels and transportation that create the emissions. With Indonesia, it's mostly deforestation. So when you take it all together, palm oil is a really large threat in terms of deforestation leading to climate change."
As organizations like RAN, 350.org, Greenpeace, Rising Tide North America , World Wildlife Fund and the Rainforest Alliance amplify the clarion call, some companies are taking note. Gucci Group just declared its commitment to abandon paper products (i.e., those tony shopping bags) from Asian Pulp and Paper – and specifically from Indonesian plantations and rainforests, following Tiffany and a few other luxury brands' leads.
And Cadbury recently announced that as a direct result of a New Zealand zookeepers' boycott, it has vowed to dump palm oil and return to cocoa butter (but there's a catch: that's only in New Zealand).
These companies are responding to the dire situation that's resulted over the past 70 years of deforestation by various industries, mainly logging and agriculture, in these Southeast Asian rainforests.
Aside from the devastating impacts on climate change, the forest destruction is taking a big toll on the biodiversity of the area. World Wildlife Fund estimates that converting natural forest to palm plantations results in the loss of 80 to 100 percent of the mammal, bird and reptile species in these normally rich ecosystems. (For a good graphic depiction of the rainforest losses, see the WWF's report on Borneo and Sumatra and maps of the region, which show, for instance, that Sumatra has lost 85 percent of its natural forest.)
All this begs the basic question: Why are palm oil derivatives in so many foods and emulsive products, to begin with?
The answer "is easy," says Brihannala Morgan, an activist with Rising Tide North America who lived in Indonesia for nine years and is now based in the Bay Area, where she is a graduate student in forest and climate policy at UC-Berkeley.
"Palm oil is the cheapest oil in the world, second only to soybean oil," she says. "It's about how much oil you can produce per hectare of land, and you can produce more palm oil per hectare than almost any other oil. So the laws of supply and demand apply. …It's used not only in foods but in industrial lubricants, biofuels. But, in foods, it's mostly for preserving. I'm not a food chemist, but all these things have to have some kind of oil, and they pick the cheapest, for the highest profit. In most countries besides the United States – and we're only responsible for five percent of all palm oil consumed – but in other countries, it's used for a frying oil – particularly in China and India, which have populations that are becoming wealthier and can afford more fried foods."

Actaris Designs Novel Gas Meters using FloEFD Flow Simulation Software
October 2006
Actaris used FloEFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software from Flomerics to design innovative gas meters. Actaris fluidic meters work on a unique principle of putting an obstacle in the flow stream and using a sensor to measure the resulting oscillations to determine the flow rate. "FloEFD enabled Actaris engineers to quickly and accurately simulate the flow velocity, direction and pressure, making it possible to evaluate new design concepts without the expense and leadtime required to build multiple prototypes," said Ibne Soreefan, Project Manager for Actaris. "FloEFD also provided far more diagnostic information than can be obtained by testing a prototype, enabling engineers to move more directly to an optimized design."
Actaris is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of meters and systems for the electricity, gas, water and heat markets. Actaris' Dattus fM2 gas meter is based on the fluidic oscillation principle. The gas flow is divided to eliminate upstream disturbances then recombined and directed against an obstacle. The jet oscillates back and forth and thermal sensors detect temperature variances as the jet oscillates. The volume of gas passed through the meter is obtained by counting the number of oscillations detected by the sensors. This innovative design is very compact and has no moving parts so it lasts longer and requires less maintenance than competitive designs.
Actaris engineers faced difficult challenges in developing this unique design. For example, it's important that the flow pattern within the meter be the same over a wide range of flow rates in order to maintain accuracy of the meter over this range. Building and testing prototypes makes it possible to evaluate the accuracy of the meter but does not show the flow pattern so it is difficult to determine the cause of inaccuracies. Actaris engineers previously used CFD software whose cost was so high that it squeezed the engineering budget. They switched to FloEFD after Flomerics support engineers demonstrated that they could provide the same accuracy as the high-end software at a fraction of the cost. FloEFD also requires considerably less time to simulate gas meter flow.
In designing the Dattus fM2 meter, Actaris engineers evaluated a wide range of concept designs using software prototypes. They visualized the flow inside each design at flow rates that covered the meter's entire application range. They viewed the flow development as the flow rate increased and the flow moved from laminar to turbulent. They observed vortices and followed how they changed over the flow rate. "These simulations helped us visualize the flow and understand the sensitivity of the meter to key design parameters, and thus converging toward the optimized prototype in less time."

- "Ancient and glorious is Yunkai. Our empire was old before dragons stirred in Old Valyria."
- ―Razdal mo Eraz
Yunkai, known also as the Yellow City, is one of the three great Ghiscari city-states of Slaver's Bay, located south-west of Meereen and north of Astapor. Pleasure-slaves are Yunkai's chief export.[1]
Yunkai is ruled by an oligarchy of slave merchants calling themselves the Wise Masters. Its people are known both as Yunkish and Yunkai'i.[2]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Yunkai is located 163 miles from Meereen. The island of Yaros lies just off the Yunkish coast. It is sometimes called the Yellow City, for its buildings are made from yellow bricks. The city contains large, stepped pyramids - though not as large as Meereen's - and can field an army of 5,000 at short notice, though these are mostly slave-warriors of uncertain reliability. The Meereenese do not have a high opinion of the quality of Yunkai's soldiers or generals. Yunkai is ruled by an aristocracy of slavers and merchants known as the Wise Masters.

A kidney transplant is surgery to place a healthy kidney into a person with kidney failure .
Kidney transplants are one of the most common transplant operations in the United States.
One donated kidney is needed to replace the work previously done by your kidneys.
The donated kidney may be from:
The healthy kidney is transported in cool salt water (saline) that preserves the organ for up to 48 hours. This gives the health care providers time to perform tests to ensure that the donor's and recipient's blood and tissue match.
If you are donating a kidney, you will be placed under general anesthesia before surgery. This means you will be asleep and pain-free. Surgeons today can often use small surgical cuts with laproscopic techniques to remove the kidney.
People receiving a kidney transplant are given general anesthesia before surgery.
Kidney transplant surgery takes about 3 hours. People with diabetes may also have a pancreas transplant done at the same time. This can add another 3 hours to the surgery.
Renal transplant; Transplant - kidney
You may need a kidney transplant if you have end-stage kidney disease. The most common cause of end-stage kidney disease in the U.S. is diabetes. However, there are many other causes.
A kidney transplant may NOT be done if you have:
Specific risks related to this procedure include:
You will be evaluated by a team at the transplant center. They will want to make sure that you are a good candidate for kidney transplant. You will have several visits over a period of several weeks or months. You will need to have blood drawn and x-rays taken.
Tests done before the procedure include:
You will also want to consider one or more transplant centers to determine which is best for you.
If the transplant team believes you are a good candidate for a kidney transplant, you will be put on a national waiting list.
Your place on a waiting list is based on a number of factors. Key factors include the type of kidney problems you have, how severe your heart disease is, and the likelihood that a transplant will be successful.
For adults, the amount of time you spend on a waiting list is not often a factor in how soon you get a kidney. Most people waiting for a kidney transplant are on dialysis. While you are waiting for a kidney:
If you received a donated kidney, you will need to stay in the hospital for about 3 - 7 days. You will need close follow-up by a doctor and regular blood tests for 1 - 2 months.
The recovery period is about 6 months. Often, your transplant team will ask you to stay close to the hospital for the first 3 months. You will need to have regular check-ups with blood tests and x-rays for many years.
Almost everyone feels that they have a better quality of life after the transplant. Those who receive a kidney from a living related donor do better than those who receive a kidney from a donor who has died. (If you donate a kidney, you can usually live safely without complications with your one remaining kidney.)
People who receive a transplanted kidney may reject the new organ. This means that their immune system sees the new kidney as a foreign substance and tries to destroy it.
In order to avoid rejection, almost all kidney transplant recipients must take medicines that suppress their immune response for the rest of their life. This is called immunosuppressive therapy. Although the treatment helps prevent organ rejection, it also puts patients at a higher risk for infection and cancer. If you take this medicine, you need to be screened for cancer. The medicines may also cause high blood pressure and high cholesterol and increase the risk for diabetes.
A successful kidney transplant requires close follow-up with your doctor and you must always take your medicine as directed.

This required Public Health Genetics Program course will focus on legal consequences of genetic technologies and information. It will begin with an overview of the legal system and the sources of law and then consider the potential legal ramifications accompanying dispersal and use of new genetic discoveries. The course will first consider the constitutional underpinnings of personal information and reproductive decision-making. The course will then broaden to address the issues arising in the context of genetic testing, examining the legal actions that may result from omission of testing, diagnostic errors, and use of the test results in an allegedly coercive manner; this ill require examination and application of contract and tort law principles. The course will then consider the regulatory scheme that can or should be applied to these new technologies, including issues of access, prohibition, and quality assurance, focusing on the potential role of genetics in the United States' relatively unique private/public health care system.(PHG523)

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) -- Heavy rain and lightning brought an early end to this year's Kansas State Fair.
Fair officials closed the midway early Sunday, the last day of the fair, because of flooding and lightning. However, the Toby Keith concert went on as scheduled Sunday night when the rain subsided.
The Hutchinson News reports (http://bit.ly/17D7Gf8 ) many fairgoers waded through a foot of water on the midway while leaving on Sunday.
Fair Manager Denny Stoecklein says those who could not use the ride tickets they bought Sunday could use them next year. And anyone who bought a wristband for rides on Sunday can exchange them for new ones next year.

The Great Vaccine Debate: Why Some Parents Just Say No
In This Article:
Vaccine proponents are increasingly raising the alarm that medical progress is being impeded by "quack doctors" who recommend against vaccination, and by "irresponsible parents" who decide not to immunize their children. Meanwhile, organizations such as the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) are calling for more research into the safety of vaccines. What are the issues surrounding this debate?
The Arguments of Vaccine Proponents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccine-preventable disease levels are at or near record lows in the United States. Diseases such as polio and diphtheria have been nearly eradicated from this country, and the incidence of mumps, pertussis, measles, and tetanus is steadily decreasing. The CDC believes that this good news can be attributed primarily to the high level of appropriate immunization in American children. However, it states that many under-immunized children remain, leaving the potential for outbreaks of disease. "Even if there are only a few cases of disease today," they warn, "if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will be infected and will spread disease to others. Soon we will undo the progress we have made over the years."
The CDC and other public health officials in the U.S. acknowledge that serious reactions to vaccinations can and do occur, but they believe that the numbers are small enough to justify mass vaccination for the benefit of the nation's health. They state that the small amounts of chemical and other additives in vaccines cause no harm in the absence of allergies, and that these additives are necessary to ensure the potency, sterility, and safety of vaccines. They argue that there is a need to improve and sustain immunization coverage, so that the public health can be maintained and expanded in the century to come.
The Questions Being Raised About Vaccines
Those who oppose mandatory vaccination argue that the drop in vaccine-preventable disease levels may be due to improved overall hygiene and nutrition in this country since the 1940s. They point out that the likelihood of dying from a childhood vaccine-preventable disease is rare, and that lifelong immunity is conferred only by contracting the diseases. Vaccination does not guarantee even immediate immunity, and boosters are necessary for all vaccinations. If all childhood vaccinations were halted, they do not believe any major epidemic would ensue, only small, localized outbreaks.
Many parents are questioning the number of shots doctors currently recommend for their children. In the 1970s, the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advised that children get 23 doses of 7 vaccines by the age of six. The first vaccinations were given at two months old. Today, the CDC and the AAP say that children should get more than twice that number of vaccine doses by age six: 48 doses of 14 vaccines. The first vaccination is given to newborns when they are 12 hours old. When babies are two months old, they may be given as many as eight vaccines on a single day. When they are 15 to 18 months old, they may be given as many as 12 vaccines on a single day. Is it possible that that many doses of pathogens (viruses and bacteria) and chemical additives tax the immune system, rather than enhance it?
Vaccine additives include a number of potentially toxic substances, including formaldehyde and 2-phenoxyethanol (both known carcinogens), aluminum (associated with asthma, seizure disorders, and cognitive dysfunction), and monosodium glutamate (associated with neurological effects). Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, was removed from most childhood vaccines in 2001. For many years, parents of autistic children have believed that it was thimerosal in vaccines (particularly the MMR vaccine) that precipitated autism in their children. While the CDC maintains that there is no convincing scientific evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, Public Health Service agencies, the AAP, and vaccine manufacturers agreed in 1999 that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure. However, it is still used in flu shots, tetanus boosters, the hepatitis B vaccine, and the meningitis vaccine, to name a few.
By far the biggest question being raised is whether vaccinations are having long-term, chronic effects on children's health. During the past quarter century, the number of children with learning disabilities, ADHD, asthma, and diabetes has more than tripled in the U.S., and the number of children with chronic brain and immune system dysfunction has more than doubled. Those who oppose vaccination are asking: Do those increased numbers correlate with the increased number of childhood vaccines?
