Exports already have been a sizable chunk of U.S. pear shipments and that is likely to increase in the upcoming season, particularly with reports of a short crop coming out of Europe, industry officials say.
According to the World Apple and Pear Association, European growers predict a significantly lower crop this year from 18 top-producing member states of the European Union — down 22% compared to 2011.
The organization reported the total crop in 2012 will reach 2.06 million metric tons, compared to 2.63 million in 2011.
The 2012 forecast crop is 17% lower than the average crop of the last three years, according to WAPA.
Those losses could translate into gains for a U.S. industry that already exports a sizable percentage of its crop, according to U.S. growers and shippers.
"We've seen some of the reports, and that could open up some room in that market," said Addie Pobst, integrity-sustainability-import coordinator with Sedro-Woolley, Wash.-based CF Fresh.
That would only enhance an export business that already has drawn interest from Asia, Pobst said.
Shippers estimate as much as a third of the U.S. pear crop hits the export market. The Milwaukie, Ore.-based Pear Bureau Northwest said it plans to be involved in export promotions in 38 countries worldwide.
The organization said it will have 20 international marketing representatives coordinating promotional activities that are customized to suit the specific needs of a particular export market.
Shippers say they're ready.
"We expect reasonably strong demand for pears in Europe," said Maureen Royal, saleswoman with Bridges Produce, Portland, Ore.
She said India is among the strongest growth markets for Northwest pears. Pear Bureau Northwest agreed with that assessment.
According to Pear Bureau Northwest, the top export markets for U.S. pears will remain Mexico, Canada, Russia, Brazil, Colombia, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong and India.
Export demand is strong, said Tim Evans, general sales manager with Chelan Fresh Marketing in Chelan, Wash.
"We continue to grow our percentage of export on pears significantly in the last couple of years," he said, saying his company has had particular success in markets in the Middle East, as well as Central and South America.
The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar should have little to no effect on export shipments, said Roger Pepperl, marketing director with Wenatchee, Wash.-based Stemilt Growers Inc.
"The dollar exchange hasn't changed much, and our products are very attractive to these export markets," he said, adding pears are a "huge export item" in high demand.
Mexico is the largest export market for Northwest pears, last year having taken 3.5 million 44-pound equivalent cartons, according to Dan Kelly, assistant manager with the Washington Growers Clearing House, Wenatchee. Canada was second, at 1.4 million.
Brazil took 525,000 cartons, which was a 58% jump from the year before, Kelly said.
Russia has been a bigger player among Northwest pear recipients, taking 345,000 boxes last year, Kelly said.
Russia, which is on a course to join the World Trade Organization by the end of the summer, likely will increase its imports of Northwest pears as it lowers its tariff from 10% to 5% as part of the process, said Mark Powers, vice president of the Yakima, Wash.-based Northwest Horticultural Council.
"It's not a huge amount, but everything counts," Powers said.
To further encourage increased pear shipments to Russia, Congress needs to pass permanent normalized trade relations with Russia, Powers said.
"Hopefully, Congress will do that when they return from their August recess," Powers said.
Vigorous market access to India for Nothwest pears — India received 148,000 cartons a year ago, Kelly said — has been accomplished in spite of a 30% tariff.
"That doesn't really have a chance of coming off in the near term," Powers said of the tariff.
An untapped export opportunity is China, Powers said, adding that the industry continues to press for access to that market.
"We appear to be getting closer in terms of getting a work plan in place," he said.
He said he was not sure whether any of the 2012 Northwest pear crop will make it to China.
"It's very hard to predict how the regulatory branches of foreign governments will make progress or not and what the timelines are, but hopefully we'll see something in place within the next year," Powers said.

The FTC's New Year's Resolution to stop the deceptive practices of some of the country's biggest diet pill makers has succeeded. On Jan. 4, the FTC announced that the marketers of four products--Xenadrine EFX, CortiSlim, TrimSpa, and One-A-Day WeightSmart--have settled with the agency, surrendering cash and other assets worth at least $25 million.
"You won't find weight loss in a bottle of pills that claims it has the latest scientific breakthrough or miracle ingredient," said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. "Paying for fad science is a good way to lose cash, not pounds."
According to the FTC's complaint, the defendants made false or unsubstantiated claims
about their weight loss products. For example, marketers for Xenadrine EFX, claimed the pill was clinically proven to cause rapid and substantial weight loss. However, studies proved this claim to be invalid. In one study, subjects taking a placebo actually lost more weight than a study group taking the diet pill.
?Other misleading advertising claims included TrimSpa, which called their pill "Your high speed dream body diet pill" and One-A-Day WeightSmart's claim to reverse the trend that "most women over 30 can gain 10 pounds a decade."
In addition to the total $25 million settlement, the companies agreed to limit their future advertising claims.

ELYRIA — Convicted killer Stanley Jalowiec, who was sentenced to death for killing a police informant in 1994, will not get a new sentencing hearing because his initial conviction was valid, a county judge ruled Tuesday.
Common Pleas Judge Christopher Rothgery ruled that prior entries in Jalowiec's case had provided a valid judgment of conviction and he denied Jalowiec's request for resentencing.
Jalowiec, who has been on death row since 1996 when he was convicted in the 1994 slaying of police informant Ronald Lally, wanted a new sentencing hearing, arguing the original entry that ordered his execution didn't say he was found guilty by a jury.
The same problem with sentencing entries in the controversial Head Start child molestation case allowed county Common Pleas Judge James Burge to take a new look at the convictions of Nancy Smith and Joseph Allen. He ultimately acquitted the pair, a decision prosecutors are currently fighting.
In the Jalowiec case, prosecutors have objected to any resentencing, arguing that Jalowiec waited for more than a decade before bringing up any potential problems with the sentencing entry.
Jalowiec, who maintains his innocence, also is fighting his conviction on the federal level and has a case pending before the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Along with Jalowiec, two other men were charged in connection with the murder of Lally, who was shot in the face, cut with a knife, beaten and run over by a car.
Lally's body was found in a Cleveland cemetery shortly before he was to testify at the drug trial of Raymond Smith and Daniel Smith.
Daniel Smith was acquitted but his father, Raymond Smith, was convicted and sentenced to death. Later, Rothgery later ruled that the elder Smith was mentally retarded and couldn't be executed and Rothgery instead imposed a life sentence on Raymond Smith.

`Small potatoes' forced Dinny to quit Glenroe
DEPARTING Glenroe star Joe Lynch today claimed he was ``shamefully treated'' by RTE when he asked for a pay rise. When the station only offered
DEPARTING Glenroe star Joe Lynch today claimed he was ``shamefully treated'' by RTE when he asked for a pay rise.
When the station only offered him ``small potatoes,'' the actor who plays wily Dinny walked out.
``They made me an offer I had to refuse,'' he said from his Spanish home last night. He revealed that he was offered a 3pc increase, ``which is not even the national norm. I felt I was being shamefully treated.''
The Glenroe stalwart, who will be 75 in July, said he was giving up acting altogether now and would move permanently to his villa on the Spanish coast.
RTE sources confirmed that the sudden departure of Dinny from the ailing soap was caused by a dispute over pay. It comes on top of the decision by Mary McEvoy, who played Biddy, to resign and the announcement by Miley actor Mick Lally to split his schedule between RTE and the BBC hit-show, Ballykissangel. @@STYL cf,tmb
But an RTE spokeswoman strongly refuted ``any accusation that Joe Lynch was shamefully treated in contract negotiations for the new series of Glenroe''. She said he was made an offer in line with that of his fellow actors ``and it was an offer he chose not to accept.''
Joe Lynch said it was not a hard decision to leave the series, although he had been playing the Dinny character in both Glenroe and Bracken for some 20 years. ``I was dissatisfied for a while,'' he said.
Mr Lynch said Glenroe was not viewed favourably by RTE management and that he and his fellow actors were never offered any gesture of appreciation for their contribution to the highly successful series.
He stressed that after 20 years with the show he wouldn't get a pension or anything. ``They treated us very raw indeed,'' he said.
An RTE source said the departure had been anticipated for some time due to the age of Mr Lynch and said that alternative scripts were already prepared.
However, Mr Lynch described recent developments the death of Biddy's character and now his own disappearance as a ``wipe-out'' for the show which was ``very sad.''
``I worked very hard. I never wasted a second of their time because I'm greedy about time. When I'm working for somebody I hate messing around,'' he said.
He also criticised RTE for preventing him from doing other work while he was in Glenroe. ``I was terrible restricted in RTE they wouldn't let me off for anything, even commercials''.
But he insisted he was not bitter at RTE. ``Bitterness is like spitting into the wind. What can you do about it? It's done.''

Age UK is delivering part of the Acting Together Programme for the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Our management of this project allows us to continue our work supporting and representing the views of older people living in care homes and using other regulated services.
Acting Together involves people called Experts by Experience (Experts), who have experience of using health and social care services.
Experts are recruited, trained and supported by a number of different voluntary sector organisations, including Age UK.
Age UK's Experts are older people who are service users or the family carers of older people and people with dementia.
Acting Together is an opportunity to bring older people into the heart of the services they need and use. It is crucial their voices are listened to in ensuring health and social care services are properly regulated.
The scheme provides over 100 roles for older people and their carers as Experts by Experience.
Experts support CQC, working alongside their inspectors on inspections of services such as care homes and hospitals. They help gather the experiences and views of people using those services, and are asked to submit brief reports to Age UK and CQC afterwards.
All Experts who take part in inspections are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
Visit the CQC's website for more information

The NBA players' association is continuing its appeal on behalf of Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins even after he has served his suspension.
Cousins sat out losses at the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and at home against Portland on Tuesday. He can't get the games back but is hoping to recoup his pay for each game missed. He lost about $70,500 of his $3.9 million annual salary.
``Based on the accounts we have heard to date of the incident, we believe that a two-game suspension is excessive and unwarranted,'' the union said in a statement Wednesday. ``We recognize the Commissioner's desire to discourage confrontations between players and members of the media, but he needs to exercise more subtlety and discretion in ascertaining and examining the specific facts and circumstances before handing down such heavy-handed discipline.''
In a statement through his agent, John Greig, Cousins expressed remorse for his role in the incident.
``Despite believing the penalty (is) unwarranted, I want to apologize to the Sacramento Kings, our fans and especially to my coaches and teammates for this distraction of our goals,'' Cousins said. ``As a leader of the team, I have to make the best decisions so my teammates can count on me. I am committed to continued growth and being the best player I can be.''
Cousins' behavior has been well documented going back to high school and his one season at Kentucky.
He has mixed in dramatic and astonishing plays with outbursts against players, coaches, trainers and referees. Cousins clashed often last season with Kings coach Paul Westphal, who was fired after a 2-5 start, which also came after he released a statement criticizing Cousins' commitment to the team and excusing him for a game.
After a workout over the summer in Las Vegas with the U.S. select team, which helped Team USA prepare for the London Olympics, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said Cousins ``has some growing up to do.'' Cousins has since said he was just playing hard and that rubbed some the wrong way.
The 22-year-old Cousins is averaging 17.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season. Sacramento is 2-6, the worst record in the Western Conference.
Cousins, who was drafted fifth overall in 2010, will return when the Kings host the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.

Sedalia School Board to Vote on Accepting Sedalia Parks and Rec's Offer to Buy Jennie Jaynes Stadium Property
The pursuit to build a new high school activities stadium at Smith-Cotton High School continues today (Sept. 9). A few months ago, the Sedalia School Board voted to hire a construction manager to build a new athletic and activities center. The plans have been moving along ever since. Today, the Sedalia School Board will be voting on whether to accept and sign the contract that the Sedalia Parks and Rec Board voted on. They would pay $1 million to the Sedalia School Board for possession of the land.

A meeting of minds on patient consults
January 2011
Feature Story
Karen Titus
What turns an idea into a practice?
In medicine, there's no shortage of signings on and signings off, memos and meetings, conference tables and huddled conferences in hallways, followed by more of the same, before the emergence of a pilot study, perhaps a practice guideline, and pleas to colleagues to change their ways, please.
But surely the first steps toward praxis include simply talking about the idea. It begins not with brass cannons, but with the burble of conversation, letting things take shape by talking aloud. That, at least, is what a few pathologists are doing as they consider how and why they might meet with patients.
They are sharing thoughts, not studies. They are not turning their backs on evidence-based medicine; rather, they might be tugging a thread of common sense through the medical discourse.
Jeffrey Myers, MD, of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, speaks in swift, funny, highly quotable sentences that represent the tail end of long, semiphilosophic thoughts. In this he is matched by a colleague at Massachusetts General Hospital, Gregory Lauwers, MD, whose right to a philosophic outlook is impeccable: He was trained in France and thus comes by his Gallic logic naturally.
The two have embarked on a serious, if ever so slightly desultory, conversation about how they might interact with patients at their own institutions, sparked, in part, by their own limited patient consults.
Dr. Myers, the A. James French professor and director, Division of Anatomic Pathology at Michigan, thinks there might be a way to improve the way he delivers results to patients. His one-patient proof of principle came about at the request of a surgical colleague, who entered the gross room and asked if he could provide the patient (at the patient's request) with a picture of her resected tumor. Absolutely, Dr. Myers replied. When he thought about it further, he wondered if delivering the picture himself might be meaningful, giving the patient an opportunity to ask questions about the pathology.
Quickly, a resident took a "nice" photograph of the specimen, made an 8∞10 glossy print, placed it in a blue University of Michigan folder (along with a pen inscribed with the words "University of Michigan Pathology Department"), and walked it up to the patient.
And the ensuing, face-to-face discussion? "Turns out the patient was asleep," says Dr. Myers, who gave the folder and his card to the nurse with a request to give it to the patient, along with making it known he'd be delighted to discuss the results with the patient. "I didn't get the conversation I imagined," he says.
Still, even the conjectured talk was enough to launch his thoughts. Why should this be by special request, he wondered.
To demonstrate the potential value of his semicompleted mission, he notes that the next time he saw the surgeon, she told him, "Wow, we have a patient for life." The patient, who was not from Ann Arbor, told her caregivers, "I'm going to go home and tell all of my friends to get their care from the University of Michigan." While this isn't a strict cause-effect vector, Dr. Myers says he realized, as the surgeon shared this story with him, that providing the photo impressed the patient; that she was grateful for it; and that his doing so, along with other aspects of her care, may have created a loyal patient.
Though providing the photo was a new step for Dr. Myers, he recognizes there's a nothing-new-under-the-sun aspect to patient consults. Mayo Clinic—where he practiced before coming to Michigan—did them years ago, when, he says, it was common for pathologists to show patients and their families the specimen itself and to discuss the findings with them. The practice was dwindling, he says, when he left Mayo Clinic in 2005, though it still happened irregularly. "You'd get a phone call, they'd say the patient and the family are coming down to look at the resected fill-in-the-blank. It was encased in formalin in a plastic bag." Seeing the specimen itself wasn't strictly the point. It was mainly an excuse for patients to ask questions, much as going to a Cubs game is often an excuse to sit in the bleachers and drink Old Style.
That one-off patient experience also led to his conversations with Dr. Lauwers. A central theme of their talks: Why aren't pathologists providing direct patient service routinely, rather than by special request?
The notion of a special request has proved a sticking point for Dr. Myers. When the aforementioned surgeon first entered the gross room with her request, she apologized multiple times before he could even learn what she wanted, he recalls: "'I'm really sorry to bother you, I'm really sorry but....' It made me reflect on why a clinician's first response to a pathologist is, 'I'm sorry,'" Dr. Myers says. When a clinician has a special request, he asks, why is the pathologist response frequently a grumpy one: I don't have time to take a picture, or, We don't normally do that.
Couching it in more diplomatic terms, he says, "We have a lot of opportunity to move our discipline when it comes to developing models of service excellence, let's put it that way."
When patients meet with their oncologists at MGH, says Dr. Lauwers, there's no getting around one difficult logistic—given the sheer volume of cases, oncologists must jump from one patient to the next. So even though care is being delivered under one roof, so to speak, at the cancer center, disconnect can still wiggle its way in. "The patient may be left with the access nurse—who's also very busy—to ask more questions," including those specific to the diagnosis and its implications, says Dr. Lauwers, vice chair and head of the Gastrointestinal Pathology Service in the Department of Pathology, MGH, and professor of pathology, Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Lauwers sees a portal here for pathologists, and he is at the early stages of talking to the head of the GI oncology program about connecting patients with their pathologists.
He envisions the access nurse triaging patients. Some oncologists may not want to participate, and that's fine, says Dr. Lauwers. Ditto for patients, not all of whom will want to speak with a pathologist.
As for his pathologist colleagues, some have already told him they regularly talk to patients over the phone. When he suggests a three-dimensional encounter, suddenly it's a problem. "Not so much a negative answer, but let's say I get a not completely enthusiastic answer from some of my colleagues," Dr. Lauwers says. This makes him impatient. "The patients can talk to you. You can talk to them. They're not going to bite."
Other than Dr. Myers and another MGH colleague, Jennifer Hunt, MD (see "Face value—pathologists one on one with patients," CAP TODAY, November 2010), he's found no overflowing esprit de corps. "I can tell you, I feel very lonely," he says.
Why the hesitation?
Dr. Lauwers hears several objections. He has answers at the ready.
One objection is time, or time as it relates to money. These would not be paid encounters, at least not initially. But even if meeting patients is not on the meter, so to speak, it could be a way for pathologists to demonstrate a value beyond looking at slides, he says.
Someone would also need to mastermind matters. What if one pathologist makes a diagnosis, but doesn't want to meet with the patient? Would a different pathologist meet that patient—and review the slides—instead? "There are a few 'political' issues to solve," Dr. Lauwers says.
The primary fear, he says, is that pathologists don't want to step on clinicians' toes. "It's complete nonsense," comes Dr. Lauwers' swift reply.
One, he says, the idea is not for pathologists to enter patient discussions with a treatment agenda. The primary reason for their being there is to talk about the diagnosis.
Two, he says, pathologists might just need to worry less about whose toes they're stepping on. Surgeons advocate surgery; radiation oncologists, radiation oncology. "They're all biased in their approach," Dr. Lauwers says. "And then you have epic discussions between the clinicians about what's the best treatment."
So, Dr. Lauwers wants to know, why can't pathologists be part of those discussions? "Why in the world is it that a pathologist cannot, based on what he knows of a disease, have an opinion? Not to make a blunt, stupid statement, but to guide the patients to maybe look at other treatments. Nothing in our medical degree or subspecialty degree tells us, 'You're a pathologist—so now you don't talk to the patient.'"
Third, he says, some argue that pathologists may lack so-called people skills. "Not that all surgeons," he says, starting to laugh, "have them, for that matter."
Training, rather than personality, may be the real culprit, he says. Many young pathologists sail from medical school to pathology residency with scant patient contact, other than what they glean in medical school. He's told pathologist colleagues involved in residency programs that pathologists need to spend a year in surgery, medicine, or some other discipline. "Even if they are not going to be surgeons, we want them to feel the pain," Dr. Lauwers says. "To really understand that we are clinicians just as the others are—but we look at different aspects of the disease."
There's a lot of truth to the training issue, says Dan Hanson, MD, now a retired pathologist. When the American Board of Pathology tried, several decades ago, to address the lack of clinical experience by requiring an extra year of residency with a clinical application, many residents found ways to fulfill the requirement with research programs and the like, says Dr. Hanson. Eventually the requirement was dropped.
Dr. Hanson also suggests that a large influx of foreign medical residents may have contributed to the problem. Those whose command of English was somewhat limited may have found pathology an attractive option, given its reputation as a patient-free bubble.
But his years of experience have also shown him that some pathologists just don't welcome patient contact, a notion that has gained traction in the medical world at large, however unfairly. Back in his Navy days, when he told his commanding officer he wanted to pursue pathology as a specialty, his CO told him, "You've got too good of a personality to go into pathology."
In his own training, Dr. Hanson and his pathologist colleagues would routinely engage with patients. They then carried those routines with them into practice, he says.
His own career included working in a group practice, serving an academic appointment at the University of Toledo (Ohio) College of Medicine, and chairing the pathology department at a community teaching hospital in Toledo. When the hospital closed during the consolidation frenzy of the 1990s, Dr. Hanson switched to practicing in an independent laboratory, where he was also a major stockholder. "But even in that situation, I still had quite a bit of patient contact," he says.
His point is clear. Pathology-patient encounters once were the norm, and should be again. "Visiting with patients and discussing things with them is nothing unusual at all," he says.
If the old reputation, as expressed by his CO, was less than flattering to the profession, there was another one that casts a much brighter light on pathology. A radiologist colleague told Dr. Hanson early in his career, "We were taught in residency that if you have a real problem, and you don't know which way to go, go see the pathologist," he recalls.
Dr. Hanson observes that pathology has also been called the conscience of medicine. Through tissue committees and other endeavors, he says, pathologists acquire a broad view of how practices are conducted and how patient care is given, both good and bad. Nobody else occupies that intersection. "Some unfortunate things occur because the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. We've all seen it," he says. "That's not to say a pathologist can act like an oncologist, or as a surgeon. But we've got all the information."
Dr. Myers has floated another idea past Dr. Lauwers, though this, too, has not made it past the what-if stage, "for no other reason than it hasn't reached my priority list," Dr. Myers says.
This would be to engage with patients preoperatively. After all, Dr. Myers says, they meet with their surgeons. They meet with the anesthesiologists. They meet with their nurses. "I wonder what it would look like if they met with their pathologists?"
He envisions pathologists introducing themselves to their patients, followed by patter that would go, roughly, like this: This is my role in what's going to happen in the next few hours. I anticipate that we'll see parts of your resected specimen and the margins, and our goal is to see whether they got around your tumor. Pathologists could talk about the likelihood of successfully doing that, and explain the occasional limitations of their technology. They could then tell the patients that they'll stop by to see them in a day or so to tell them how things went from the pathology perspective: I'm going to tell you what we know about your disease. I'm going to answer any questions you or your family might have. And I'm happy to answer any questions you have now, before you head to the operating room.
The possible value of such rapport could be considerable, Dr. Myers suggests. In no particular order, he offers these thoughts:
Dr. Hanson knows from experience that it's not always easy to talk to patients, especially when the news is bad. "It's tough. It's very tough sometimes. It's uncomfortable for any physician to say to a patient, 'You've got metastatic melanoma involving your lungs.' But it's much better for the patient to recognize exactly what that means." Patients need straight talk about their disease, rather than being "overwhelmed by kind of a nebulous, I-don't-know-what-it-is-but-it's-awful type of thing," Dr. Hanson says.
Pathologists can chip away at misinformation that often surrounds a diagnosis—what it really means, how it affects the body, how it affects the particular organ. "There's a lot of mystery and ignorance about, Where the hell is the liver? Where is the kidney? What does it do?" Dr. Hanson says.
Those are simple questions for pathologists, though Dr. Myers recalls one patient who, he thought, would be coming at him with much harder questions. "She was highly, highly educated, not in the medical field, but worse—biostatistics," he says. She was knowledgeable about her condition and, obviously, statistics—able to extrapolate with the best of them. He even became slightly anxious about her visit, and told himself he needed to study for it. "I had my references ready to go."
He needn't have bothered. "It was a great interaction," he says. "And what was so gratifying for me was that when she left my office, she said, 'I wish more doctors were like this'"—that is, willing to talk face to face.
Maybe it is that simple.
Sam Caughron, MD, recently assessed his own skills at a CAP training program at CAP '10 in September. Meeting with the standardized patient was not all that difficult, despite the distressing diagnosis (breast cancer with a poor prognosis).
This "patient" wanted to know what the diagnosis means for her, Dr. Caughron explained. She looked for any sign of hope—could the diagnosis be wrong? The results mixed up with another patient's? Both were unlikely, Dr. Caughron told her.
Those answers were important, she said later, in her feedback. But just as important, she reported, was the emotional connection she made with the pathologist. "I just listened," says Dr. Caughron, a pathologist at MAWD Pathology Group, Kansas City, Mo.
He also did a little bit of self-disclosure. A relative had been diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, "and it was relatively fresh in my mind what that meant for our family," he says.
For Dr. Myers, bringing pathology consults to life is the art of the invisible. If clinicians don't think it's a fine idea for pathologists to speak with patients, it's possible they can't appreciate an in absentia practice.
Dr. Myers recalls a GI pathologist at Mayo who wanted to institute same-day service on GI biopsies. His fellow pathologists' first response was hardly inspiring, Dr. Myers recalled: "We asked, 'Is anyone complaining?' It's bizarre, right? Who's complaining? That's what we wanted to know." No one was complaining—the pathologist thought same-day service would provide, um, better patient care.
His colleagues offered to poll some GI clinicians to see if they wanted same-day service. The clinicians said they were happy with their current service and saw no need to speed things up.
Despite this underwhelming call to arms, the pathologists launched a one-month trial. Only after the pilot stopped did the phones start ringing in the lab. "It was the gastroenterologists saying, 'What the hell?'" Dr. Myers says. When the clinicians were reminded that they'd dismissed the idea earlier, they answered, We didn't know we needed it.
Same-day results turned out to be important to patients who were coming from more distant towns and cities, who would no longer have to remain in Rochester an extra night. The faster turnaround also gave patients less time to wait around worrying.
Pathologists may provide excellent service to clinicians, but that's no longer sufficient, Dr. Myers says. "We don't think past them to the patient."
He also wonders what else might give way if pathologist-patient meetings start taking place more frequently.
"Clinicians use us as an excuse all the time," he says. When a clinician tells a patient, I'll see you back in a week because we won't have the path report until then, often that's code for, I don't want to see you again until next week because that's what works best for me, he says. "We ought not to be co-conspirators in that."
The lesson, to Dr. Myers, is clear: In pathology, and in medicine in general, it's not always wise to wait for colleagues to tell you what they want. While there's plenty who will tout the art as well as the science of medicine, day-to-day practitioners probably aren't the ideal folks to foster a new practice. Doctors, in their day jobs, are scientists, not artists. They analyze what is, not what could be.
But here, the pathologist could play the part of the poet. "We have to be better at innovating around their unarticulated wants and desires," Dr. Myers says. "Don't ask. Do it—and learn."

text: No doubt there will be a lot of excitement around Steve Slaton in fantasy drafts this preseason. After all, the Texans running back totaled almost 1,660 yards and averaged 4.8 yards per carry in his rookie season last year. Those numbers rightfully earned him a 2009 preseason ranking of 13 among RBs. That kind of success from a rookie usually leads owners to believe that there's nowhere to go but up, especially if the coaches decide to loosen the reigns on Slaton in his second year. Unfortunately for optimistic Slaton owners, he may not get the increase in touches they are hoping for in Year 2. http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/Fa...iew/22489/texans_want_complement_to_rb_slaton

LONDONDERRY'S railway station is the least surveilled in Northern Ireland with just four CCTV cameras.
Translink operate four CCTV cameras at the Waterside station and none in the station car park.
Between Belfast and Londonderry there are 96 CCTV cameras in total - 62 at various railway halts, 13 at Northern Ireland Railway car parks and Park & Ride schemes, and 21 at level crossings.
Rail Minister provided the details in response to an Assembly question stating: "Translink advise that they have a rolling programme of CCTV installations and renewals.
"There are plans to install additional camera systems, however, the timing and scope of this work is dependent on operating experience, prioritisation and approval for funding."
The Minister also revealed that CCTV cameras are installed on newer NI Railway trains.
"Translink advise that they have 38 operational train sets available and CCTV cameras are installed on all 23 CAF Class 3000 trains, with 8 cameras on each. The CCTV system was not rolled out to other vehicles in the fleet because of plans to replace most of these," he stated.

Where do parties stand on funding needs of the National Park system?Breaking News
Of course, earlier this year the Traveler touched on where Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama stood on national parks in response to questions from the National Parks Conservation Association.
At that time Senator Barack Obama said he believed the National Park Service needed more funding, but didn't make any suggestions on how that might be accomplished. Senator John McCain, however, voiced support of the president's Centennial Initiative, which is intended to generate $3 billion for the National Park Service by the agency's centennial in 2016 but isn't yet on pace to reach that goal.
Where do things stand today? Well, although there doesn't seem to be an available draft of the Republican Party's platform, the Democratic Party's draft platform (attached below) does make mention of both public lands in general and the parks specifically:
We will create a new vision for conservation that works with local communities to conserve our existing publicly-owned lands while dramatically expanding investments in conserving and restoring forests, grasslands, and wetlands across America for generations to come. Unlike the current Administration, we will reinvest in our nation's forests by providing the federal agencies with resources to reduce the threat of wildland fires, promote sustainable forest product industries for rural economic development and ensure that national resources are in place to respond to catastrophic wildland fires. We will treat our national parks with the same respect that millions of families show each year when they visit. We will recognize that our parks are national treasures, protected for special values, and will ensure that they are protected as part of the overall natural system so they are here for generations to come. We are committed to conserving the lands used by hunters and anglers, and we will open millions of new acres of land to public hunting and fishing.
Sounds nice in general, but, again, there are no specifics.
Against that backdrop, NPCA is mounting a public awareness campaign that includes a petition Americans can sign urging the next president and the incoming Congress to provide greater federal funding and protections for the National Park System. The campaign includes radio ads featuring actors Amy Madigan and Sam Waterston and print ads featuring Petrified Forest National Park and the National Mall as examples of national parks nationwide in need of greater funding.
A nationwide survey (attached below) conducted for NPCA earlier this year by Peter Hart Research Associates showed that 76 percent of respondents were much more or somewhat more likely to support a presidential candidate who has a strong commitment to protecting national parks; 83 percent of respondents indicated that it was extremely or quite important for the federal government to protect and support national parks such as Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and the Everglades.
The print and radio public service advertisements, developed by the PlowShare Group, Inc., are being distributed to magazines, newspapers, and radio stations nationwide.
"Americans expect the federal government to take care of our national parks," says NPCA President Tom Kiernan."We'll be looking to the new administration and Congress to fulfill that promise."

HE'S gained fans around the world, including US rap star Snoop Dogg for his world record growing abilities, but now Ian Neale's giant veg is under threat from from a possible Gipsy site.
Mr Neale, from Langstone, Newport, has been growing award-winning veg, including giant swedes, cucumbers and carrots, for more than 30 years on land he owns near his home.
But the pensioner was stunned when he received a letter from Newport Council saying the land is now being considered as the potential base for a newtraveller site.
As the Argus has previously reported, a new list of 11 potential sites for Gipsy and traveller families was released by the council last week, after the previous shortlist including Yew Tree Cottages at Bettws and Queensway Meadows were scrapped.
None of the five sites which made up that original shortlist in June remain on the newlist.
Mr Neale wanted to make clear that no member of his family had volunteered the site for a new Gipsy camp after his brother was verbally abused at the Usk show.
Mr Neale was particularly shocked as his site, Langstone Nursery on Magor Road, next to his family home of 60 years, wasn't even previously mentioned in the original council long-list which contained more than 220 locations.
The record-breaking gardener, whose triumphs include world records for heaviest cucumber, longest cucumber and heaviest swede, said: "If they took the land off me and I had to give up giant veg I would be devastated.
"I might as well just sit in the corner and wait to die."
"The first I knew of it was a letter through my door.
I don't know why they want to put them on my land, there isn't enough room for the number of caravans they are proposing," Mr Neale said.
"I'm not interested in selling, if I was I'd give them a real price, as it is my price is £5million."
Newport council stressed that no decisions have been made at this stage and a final list of proposed sites will be drawn up following the consultation.
Mr Neale rocketed to worldwide fame last year when hip hop legend, Snoop Dogg, made a video praising his giant veg.
● A meeting last week was attended by almost 400 people who were asked to write letters to the council outlining reasons to object.
It was argued that facilities in Langstone are non-existent with "principal" shops miles away. One resident said the road alongside Llanmartin Primary School was "full of potholes".
An action group has been established and at least 300 people have signed a petition over the issue.
Medieval earthworks at site 'unknown'
ONE of the other proposed Gipsy sites in the east of Newport contains a protected ancient monument, it has emerged.
The land that has been earmarked as a potential site south of Langstone Cottage has, according to online maps, a medieval earthworks on it. Newport council has revealed the project team of councillors that drew up the list did not know about it when the list was compiled.
A spokeswoman said: "This highlights the importance of the consultation process and the value of local knowledge.
We encourage anyone with information about any of the sites to feed into the process."
Langstone councillor David Atwell, who chaired the scrutiny committee that the project team was formed from, said: "They haven't recieved very good advice if they have included that site."
A Cadw spokesperson said: "We have been consulted formally regarding the potential location of a Gipsy site on a protected site at Langstone Earthworks.
"We will respond formally to the proposal when the consultation period closes on October 4."

As in any calling, there are great legal counselors and terrible legal counselors. It's dependent upon you to get your work done,and to ask the right inquiries, to figure out which group your lawyer falls into. The best legal counselors will listen to your worries, make inquiries about what you plan to accomplish and give you a fair evaluation of your odds of accomplishing your objectives. Toward the end of your underlying meeting, ask yourself whether you feel good with this legal advisor and whether you regard each other's positions and assessments. Search for somebody who rehearses marital or family law in case you are dealing with a divorce.
You should also look for someone who will work with different experts, for example, legal bookkeepers, CDFA experts, business valuators advisors, and guardianship/child rearing specialists. They should have a great deal of important experience. It is desirable to get a family legal counselor who has chipped away at numerous divorce cases like yours. On the off chance that your legal counselor is new out of graduate school, ensure he or she has an accomplished coach at the law office, one with a magnificent learning of divorce law, to go over your case. It is best if he or she is a talented mediator.
In the event that your case can be settled without an extended court fight, you'll spare a lot of time, inconvenience, and cash. You need somebody who'll encourage you to settle if the offer is reasonable, not urge you to have the case delayed to fulfill your requirement for retribution. He or she should be good with you. You don't need to end up closest companions, yet you should be sufficiently agreeable with your legal counselor to have the capacity to impart to him or her some profound parts of your life.

Benefit BADgal Liner Waterproof Reviews
Just averageI want to love everything Benefit produces, so I decided to try this. It went on smoothly and I could control the line. I couldn't smudge it so it looked pretty harsh. And, it would not come off!! I did want to damage my eyes, so I had to let it be for a couple of days. It's too waterproof, if there is such a thing. — 5 years, 2 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

Perfect intense liner with NO smudgingThis liner is VERY stay-put, compared to all my other liners which smudge. Not for someone who wants to be able to use the smudger end. It doesn't move from where you apply it. It's almost got a liquid liner look somewhat. It is VERY waterproof, and doesn't come off with just face wash, which is somewhat of a downside, but that's what you have to deal with when its so waterproof and doesn't smudge.

Maintaining good water quality is the single most important thing that you can do to ensure the health of your fish. A partial
water change, no more than 25% at a time, is the solution. Doing a change every 1-2 weeks, or more often when needed, removes decaying matter, reduces nitrate build-up, replaces trace elements, and makes more oxygen available to fish.

I keep waking up on my stomach, and I recently underwent breast reconstitution surgery. I try to sleep on my back but it is very uncomfortable to me and I guess I just turn over in the middle of the night, am I causing any ill effects by this? I am 10 days post op and still in moderate- severe pain.
Sleeping on Stomach After Breast Reconstruction?
Doctor Answers 4
Sleeping Tips after Breast Reconstruction
I am concerned that you could cause damage to your flap or implant at such an early stage. I would place several pillows around you to help protect your surgical sites.
If you have drains, you run a high risk of pulling them out if not careful. Close followup with your plastic surgeon is a must.
I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.

Sleeping on Stomach After Breast Reconstruction
While you did not mention the type of reconstruction you had, sleeping in the prone (on your stomach) position is not a good idea. This could dislodge your implants or injure your flap. I usually tell my patients to sleep with pillows on either side, under their arms. This will help to keep the patient supine (on your back) by acting as a barrier and waking them up should they try to roll over. Good luck.
Sleeping on Stomach After Breast Aug?
You did not mention what kind of reconstruction you had, but regardless it is not a good idea to sleep on your chest at this point. It is hard to control what you do when you are asleep, but if you are sleeping on your chest this early, you can displace implants or compromise a flap. If at all possible try to follow your surgeon's recommendations.

If you are only 10 days after surgery, it may not be a good time to sleep on your stomach as it can damage or hurt your reconstruction. Please ask your PS about sleeping position.

San Mateo, CA, United States, 2014/03/19 - Former Microsoft Dynamics GP Customer to Explain the Benefits of Moving to a True and Serious Cloud Solution - NetSuite.com. NYSE: N; ORCL
NetSuite, Inc., the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced a webinar titled "Why It's Time to Switch from Microsoft Dynamics GP to Cloud ERP" to showcase the challenges that organizations face with Microsoft's on-premise ERP system and the benefits that hundreds of companies have realized by upgrading from antiquated on-premise software to NetSuite's superior cloud business management solution for financials / ERP, CRM and omnichannel commerce.
The webinar, scheduled for Wednesday, March 19 at 10 am. PT, will feature NetSuite product experts outlining the key differentiators between NetSuite's integrated cloud suite and Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) and the gains in efficiency, visibility, scalability and business growth that customers have realized after making the switch to NetSuite. They will be joined by Kevin Harding, IT Director at Imagine!, who will share how his not-for-profit organization has reduced costs, gained real-time data access, dramatically accelerated its financial reporting and avoided the additional personnel required to maintain hardware and software systems since moving from Microsoft Dynamics GP to NetSuite. To learn more about the webinar and to register, please click here.
Customers of Microsoft Dynamics GP confront the challenge of operating a pre-Internet solution built based on antiquated client-server architecture, meaning the software can't capitalize on the economies of scale of the cloud. The "version lock" of on-premise software leaves customers waiting for infrequent product updates that require re-testing of all customizations and hardware upgrades, whereas NetSuite issues two major upgrades per year and configurations and customizations carry forward automatically with no need for hardware.
Additionally, businesses using Microsoft Dynamics GP's on-premise software are typically forced to rely on a hairball of multiple software systems for processes in CRM, marketing, ecommerce and more, making achieving visibility across the organization a challenge. A growing list of companies have transformed their business operations by abandoning Microsoft Dynamics GP in favor of NetSuite's unified business management system with one shared data set. These customers include Imagine!, CallidusCloud, ClearChoice Management and Advantage Sign Supply. These businesses and others want the agility and flexibility to drive growth with the real-time visibility and global business management they can get with NetSuite.
In addition, Microsoft's cloud ERP initiatives have only further confused the market with the release of another hosting option for its Dynamics AX product, not a true, multi-tenant cloud solution. NetSuite's superior business management software suite is built from the ground up in the cloud, providing automatic upgrades and customizations that automatically carry forward, giving it a 15-year head start in cloud ERP.
Today, more than 20,000 companies and subsidiaries depend on NetSuite to run complex, mission-critical business processes globally in the cloud. Since its inception in 1998, NetSuite (netsuite.com) has established itself as the leading provider of enterprise-class cloud financials/ERP suites for divisions of large enterprises and mid-sized organizations seeking to upgrade their antiquated client/server ERP systems. NetSuite excels at streamlining business operations as demonstrated in a recent Gartner study naming NetSuite as the fastest growing financial management software vendor on a global basis. NetSuite continues its success in delivering the best cloud ERP/financials suites to businesses around the world, enabling them to lower IT costs significantly while increasing productivity, as the global adoption of the cloud is accelerating.

From Cyrus the Astrologer
The Sun aligns with Juno, Uranus and Hades
Jupiter aligns with Canopus(The Path Finder) and Vega(Charismatic, magical)
The nature of Discipleship involves the processes of stabilisation and right direction. After reaching the limits of dense materiality, we embark on the Path of Return. It is at this point of re-orientation that we become a Disciple.
The raw substance of intelligence can be shaped according to any desired effects. We re-establish ourselves continually within the parameters of our realisation and powers, adapting to new opportunities in our outer existence. After embarking on the Path of Return, we learn to reshape our personality so that it can become an effective tool for World Service.
The Path of Return involves moments of reorientation and points of crisis for the Pathwalker. As human beings, we have exceptional skill in bringing all circumstances in line with our personal aspirations. There is sensitivity to the continual reshaping of reality using our intent.
Our tests are carried down into the physical realm and when they are faced and handled, our life is carried up into Heaven. The tests involve reshaping the lower mind so that it aligns with our Soul purpose.
Separative desires are transmuted into compassionate heart-centred ones and this opens up the feeling-intuitive aspect of Self, the gateway to the Soul.
When the mental processes reflect the will aspect of deity, "Father not my will but Thine be done", self-will is transmuted into the will of the Soul. The result is inspiration and the emergence of Divine Love.
Appetite, desire and self-will are now being tested. The goal of these tests is the establishing of right relations with the Soul and with the environment.
The mind is essentially a creative power. It is an aspect of thought and coupled with imagination, is a creative agent because thoughts are things.
We are able to select or reject every essential element of our make-up by shaping our thoughts. We have always been doing this because we are continually projecting an image which we are consciously or unconsciously creating for ourselves.
From a deeply rooted past and from subconscious reservoirs of established thought, there emerges from individual experience the sumtotal of all instinctual tendencies, inherited glamours and all phases of wrong mental attitudes.
We give these the name 'Dweller on the Threshold'.
The Dweller is the sumtotal of all the personality characteristics which have remained unconquered and untransmuted. These are now being transmuted so that we may be initiated into higher consciousness.
Eventually, the light of the personal self fades out in the blaze of glory which emanates from the Angel. Then the greater glory transmutes the lesser as the Dweller becomes the beckoning Angel.
The Disciple enters the path of pure consciousness and Unity.
At this point a profound understanding emerges about the nature of the pairs of opposites and we enter the self-initiated tests and trials of the Disciple.
When every latent predisposition, every racial and national instinct, every unconquered situation and every controlling fault rises to the surface of our consciousness, then we know that we have embarked on the Path of Return.
Emotional depth-work is recommended. Painful emotions heal and transmute into positive ones by flowing freely in a safe, non-destructive way. Accept all emotions that come up, negative and positive. "God's love is like the sun, it shines equally on the good and bad alike."
Mercury and Venus parallel the fixed star Spica. the potential for brilliance.
The Moon aligns with, Saturn(10:05 AM), Pluto at 11:27 AM. and Jupiter(1:55 PM.)
Saturn uses wisdom and practical techniques to change, mutate and adjust everything that is needed for the evolution of the Soul. Venus balances and harmonised these movements and brings to the life the quality of Grace.
Mercury utilises the Fourth Ray to reveal the relationship between the pairs of opposites, creating polarisation. The purpose of polarisation is to create a greater awareness of the pair of opposites so that more harmonious relations may evolve.
The Divine Love of Pluto causes the transmutation of separative aspects of the personality, allowing the Soul to achieve the triumph of Self-fulfilment. The Soul then moves forward utilising the personality as a tool in the work of World Service so that the Plan of Love-Wisdom may continue to evolve and externalise.
The Moon squares Hades at 11:04 PM.
Mercury aligns with Neptune
Fromthe darkness of the Hades underworld, we emerge triumphant and ready for ascension.
In grievous experiences, Hades often helps us gain understanding of mysterious and deep spiritual truths.
In times of great need and mental confusion, we often obtain help through our dreams. Our dreams can show the way out of difficulties or address important questions in our lives.
When we fall asleep each evening, we undergo a small death into a dream world where we receive solutions to our problems and then once again arise in the morning.
Here, we abandon the confines of the physical body and move freely into more purely metaphysical realms, where we work out our experiences in the physical realm on another level.
Mars trines Vesta at 5:35 PM
The focusing principle combines with the Divine Love in action. This combination confers the ability to concentrate and direct our energy at will.
There is an ability to integrate autonomy and self-determination in intimate relationships as well as the possession of sexual skill and sensitivity.
We are learning to align energy, drive and will with focused direction and purpose.
Lilith aligns with Chiron/Juno and Galactic Centre
Our mission is to fight for the sacredness of marriage, and against separation through judgement and prejudice. The way out is through the Divine Union with all. Overcoming Lilith is being married to our Divine Self.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
oh dear....umm, the 3 vehicles alone are roughly $10,000. All the things within the warehouse at LEAST $30,000. Loss of roughly $3000 in snow (very little snow this year), do repairs etc. , $7000, I dont even know how you would calculate the fact we had to use personal vehicles for work and having to rent moving trucks instead of using our own. I can't tell you how many times we would get a call because they saw our moving truck, or work truck with our name and number on the side and the neighbors called to hire us. So at least $50,000
So what do I do about court coming up? It is on the 20th.
