Learn About BPA in Hospitality Industry Receipts
Release Date: Mar 21, 2013
Many printed receipt papers contain Bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is often used as an ink developer in thermal receipt paper and is a chemical that can cause health hazards. Studies have found that thermal receipts from the hospitality industry can contain 250 to 1,000 times more BPA greater than what is FDA regulated. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and its project partner, the Stratford Companies, with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is launching a statewide project to help reduce the use of thermal receipt papers. Visit the MPCA website to find out more.

Art Law
Retired Lawyer, 74, a 'Glorified Fence,' Gets 7 Years in Cezanne Case
Posted Dec 16, 2008 2:28 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A 30-year stolen art saga has ended with a seven-year federal prison sentence for a 74-year-old retired lawyer with dementia who was described by the judge in the case as a "glorified fence."
Robert Mardirosian, a retired Massachusetts lawyer, was sentenced yesterday for attempting to profit from the seven stolen paintings by famed Impressionist Paul Cezanne that he says a client left in his office loft after spending a night there, reports the Boston Globe. The paintings were stolen from a private home in 1978, in what reportedly was the state's biggest art theft ever, and the client, David Colvin, was shot to death in 1979.
Mardirosian says he found the art works in his office loft in 1980. Instead of returning them to the owner, however, he put them in storage in Switzerland and eventually agreed to return the most valuable one in 1999 exchange for title to the other six. However, that transaction resulted in a federal court conviction for possession of stolen property earlier this year, as discussed in an earlier ABAJournal.com post.
The Cezanne initially returned to its owner, Bouilloire et Fruits, was then sold at auction for nearly $30 million.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Mark Wolf gave Mardirosian less than the 10 years the prosecution had sought, but far more than the two years of home confinement that Mardirosian's attorney had recommended.
"The only reason I'm sentencing a 74-year-old man in the early stages of dementia is because you were calculating enough to get away with this for 30 years," the judge stated, explaining that it was important to set an example for any other lawyers who might be tempted by opportunities to profit from crime.
"You started as a lawyer," Wolf told Mardirosian. "As far I'm concerned, you became a glorified fence."
The judge hasn't yet decided whether to release Mardirosian pending an appeal.

A Bradenton mother was arrested and charged with child neglect charges after officials discovered her 3-year-old special needs son wandering around a neighborhood street Friday; while she was high on marijuana, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
A neighbor who found the child called police after seeing the boy walking down the street by himself. The neighbor told police they knew the child.
Manatee County deputies were able to make contact with the child mother, Ashley Nitz, 23. When the mother opened the door, investigators were "overwhelmed by the odor of marijuana," the report stated. The mother's eyes were bloodshot and "somewhat lethargic," officials said.
Nitz told investigators she had forgotten to lock the door when she went to sleep that afternoon. A drug test came back positive for the use of marijuana.
Nitz was arrested on child neglect. Her 3-year-old son was taken by Child Protective Services. Nitz has been previously arrested for drug and probation violations, according to public records.

In addition, Strawberry Perl has enourmous problems because some of its modules are linked against incompatible libcs, which thwarts the already very bad fork emulation code even more, and makes it hit and run, depending on what is loaded and what is not. (Strawberry Perl doesn't seem to be maintained very much anymore, as these bugs are not being fixed for multiple years now).
My recommendation would be to not try to use fork on windows for parallel processing and, failing that, to "rely" on ActivePerl, which at least tries to work properly within the limits of it's own design.
If you look through BioPerl you'll note we wrap commonly-used aligners; even our Smith-Waterman code relies on (unwieldy, out-of-date) XS bindings to a C library.]]>
That's not how PAUSE or the Perl community works. Unless there's spam or some technical glitch, people are free to submit new CPAN modules in any namespace.

Designed by students at the University of New South Wales, the Sunswift IVy, solar-powered vehicle has claimed the Guinness WorldRecord for the world's fastest solar-powered vehicle by hitting a topspeed of 88.738kph. The record-breaking attempt took place at the HMASAlbatross navy base airstrip in Nowra, Australia and shattered theprevious record of 78kph that was set by the GM Sunraycer in 1987.
The Sunswift IVy is a three-wheeled vehicle with a monocoque carbonfiber body. The vehicle features a brushless CSIRO 3 phase DC 1800Welectric motor, which is powered by a solar array producing 1200W.Usually, the solar array is used to power a lithium-ion polymer batterypack, which was removed for the run as the milestone demanded a car that is powered exclusively by silicon solar cells.

Different Ways To Curl your Hair
Ringlets and curls come in different shapes and sizes. Depending on the the duration of time you leave the hair in a curling rod and how tight you curl them, you can either get tight curls, wavy curls or simple loose curls at the end of your hair.
But curling iron is not the only way around it. There are a lot of different ways you can get those gorgeous curls you are looking for!
If you are going for rollers, there are two ways you can do it. In the first method, once you have washed your hair with shampoo and conditioner, divide your hair into several sections. Now, while the hair is still wet, curl the hair around the rollers and pin them up. You need to do this before going to sleep since you need to leave them overnight. By morning, your curls will be ready!
The second method is by blow drying. You have to curl up the hair the same way as told before, but this time, you can blow dry your hair until your hair is completely dry. Once it cools down, pull out the rollers and you'll have your curls!
If you don't have rollers, you can roll the hair strands around your finger and pin them up with bobby pins!
You can also go for wrapping foil method to curl your hair. All you need to do here is, wrap your hair strands with wrapping foil and curl them using bobby pins like explained before. After a couple of hours, your hair will be considerably dry and that is when you take them off. This is the best method if you are looking for something that wont damage your hair.
Steam setters are a lot better than curling iron since they don't damage your hair and make your curls look professional. The best thing about steam setters is that they take only about a couple of minutes to heat up and another few minutes to curl your hair. It works equally well for all kinds of hair too!
Gel rollers are another great alternatives that give you those springy curls that really last all day. They don't really damage the hair that much and it's real easy to loosen up the curls with brush to waves if you don't like them too tightly curled up.

"I took up photography the first time around about 10 years ago. I loved it, but my focus was elsewhere until 2010 when I took a digital imaging class. While digital technology is not my natural language, in the slightest, over time it clicked and I was able to create images and develop photos in a way that mattered to me as an artist."
Along the way I began to print on metallic paper as well as on dye infused aluminum, both of which beautifully convey light, luminance and color. It matters I think to surround yourself with images and objects with such life-positive qualities - they intrinsically express optimism and hope, among other good things."

Six Dodgers Sign Contracts For 2009
According to DIamond Leung of the Press-Enterprise, six pre-arbitration Dodgers have signed contracts for 2009 today: Blake DeWitt, Scott Elbert, Victor Garate, Matt Kemp, Lucas May and James McDonald. No word yet on the amounts, but once I find out I will update the payroll worksheet. For reference, these contracts are usually split contracts, meaning there is a different salary in the majors and minors -- even for someone like Kemp, who is highly unlikely to be sent down anytime soon. The MLB minimum salary is $400,000, and the minor league minimum salary is $65,000 for players not signing their first major league contract. For players signing their first major league contract -- which I believe includes Victor Garate -- the minor league minimum salary is $32,500.

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A judge has sentenced a woman to 22 years in prison in the killing of Monroe County election official Jim Miller.
According to The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/SpPgJU ), Jessica Kennedy cried Wednesday as Senior Judge Walter Kurtz announced her sentence. Kurtz said he doesn't believe Kennedy was the leader in Miller's slaying.
Miller was shot in the head three times, and his body was found in the trunk of his burning car on July 17, 2010. Police found his car in a field off the dead end of a county road.
Authorities have said publicly that there are other suspects, but Kennedy is the only person charged so far.
She was convicted Aug. 20 on facilitation charges.

Hey it's James – The whole family really appreciates all the support we've been getting. We need a favor of the collective – Rebecca wanted her urn with a sentimental engraving on one side.
My urn will have the sentimental engraving on one side. It will say my name, the dates of my life,
and have a tag line I haven't worked the kinks out of yet (I'll keep you posted, but feel free to submit your suggestions).
The back side of my urn will have instructions engraved into it. First off, I am (in my cremated urn state) to be kept permanently displayed in a family member's home.
We need some of those suggestions. There will definitely be a return address engraved on the bottom for the Traveling Urn. Dad is working on the beginning details of a Hawaiian themed party (of course she blogged about it, she even left instructions here too!)
Oh, and I have thoughts on my wake & funeral. First off, it better be a big blow out party. You are all to wear hawaiian shirts, no black allowed. You are to sing karaoke. Badly. You are to limbo while holding my urn. There should be a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and a Japanese strawberry shortcake (I'll have to work on getting a picture for you). The party should be planned well in advance so everyone can attend, no last minute rush to get the night off from work. And I'd like to have a person in a cartoon character outfit greet everyone at the door. It's a party after all!

Fantasia Barrino returned to "American Idol" on Thursday to perform the third single off her 2010 "Back to Me" album, "Collard Greens & Cornbread," and was sporting a whole new look.
Fantasia, 26, who won season three of "American Idol" appeared on-stage in a sequined red gown, slit up to the upper thigh and retro blonde curl. "Collard Greens & Cornbread" had an old-school soul feel to it and the eight-time Grammy nominee sang it with gusto.
After her performance, Ryan Seacrest asked Fantasia if she had any advice for the "Idol" contestants and the singer encouraged them to surround themselves with good people.
"You have to love what you do, which is music," Fantasia told the "Idol" hopefuls, "but it can throw you a lot of things that you're not ready for, so you've got to keep good people with you, and you have to keep people with you who are not just going to tell you 'yes' just because, people who are going to tell you when you're wrong and tell you when you're right and therefore, you can make it."
Since appearing on "American Idol," Fantasia has released three albums, "Free Yourself" (2004), "Fantasia" (2006) and "Back to Me" (2010) and won a Grammy in February 2011 for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for her single, "Bittersweet". The singer also appeared on Broadway in "The Color Purple" musical in 2007.
Several news outlets commented on Fantasia's weight gain following her appearance on "Idol," but in February, it was confirmed that she had signed on to play gospel singer Mahalia Jackson and was told she would have to gain 45 pounds by May, when the film is slated to start filming. Fantasia will also reprise her role as Celie in the film adaptation of "The Color Purple," which will be produced by Oprah Winfrey.

Due to a lack of funds and questions about the weekend event, North Carolina Holiday Flotilla board members have decided to opt out of promoting the event and selling event merchandise under the Wrightsville Beach Farmers� Market community tent.
Chairwoman Linda Brown said she does not know if the flotilla needs to be formally involved in the community tent, but added during the Monday, Aug. 26, meeting that the market could change next year.
�Financially it has not been very effective for us,� Brown said.
Only about $232 was taken in from flotilla merchandise sales.
�I think it�s not worth that effort,� Brown said. �I think we do well enough on our own. � To me, the [Wrightsville Beach Chamber of Commerce] needs to be in charge of setting that up.�
Merchandise from previous years will be revamped this year with a new or refurbished logo, which is still in the works. The board is talking about possibly throwing merchandise to parade onlookers as done one past year.
�It�s fun to do, and the crowd loves it,� said Rick Crowder, board member.
As far as planning goes, the board is still far ahead of its typical schedule with 21 boats already signed up for the parade and only nine more spots open.
�We have some interesting new people this year,� Brown said, adding that one, who registered as Jay, the Winner, registered a 1976 restored houseboat.
The board previously requested the North Carolina Department of Transportation to keep three lanes open on the Heide Trask Drawbridge for the event, as is done for Beach2Battleship, but Brown found out during a recent meeting that might not be possible.
She said she went to the meeting with a negative attitude, but left feeling better when she realized everyone is working together.
American Bridge Company, the contractor, is scheduled to be in the middle of the epoxy overlay portion of the renovation project during the flotilla weekend, Nov. 29-30.
�I came out of there thinking, wow that was pretty cool,� Brown said. �� I thought it was well worth the hour and a half there.�
Pres Davenport, who is in charge of media and relations, said the media event on July 27 announcing the 17-foot Carolina Skiff grand prize was well received. Two videos will soon be uploaded to the website, www.ncholidayflotilla.org

So i was listening to this podcast on (ESPN http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=7477017), and thought there point's were sort of correct but the difference between the two teams and team health played a huge factor.
Pete might not have played pro football but still played college, and I feel like Pete is a compassionate guy and all this crap about Harbaugh being this touchy feeling amazing person... it just doesn't compute in my mind. By the way these guys might be homers but i love a good debate and/or people agreeing on my point.
in the end, Pete is building, Jim walked into a mansion, it will take some time but I think PC/JS are gonna surpass the greats in seattle.

Make Nintendo change Wii back to Revolution
Over a year ago, Nintendo described to us a mysterious new console it codenamed the \"Revolution.\" The name was evocative, sleek, and edgy. It promised us a future in which our preconceptions of gaming would be overturned. All were understandably excited. Now it\'s been officially named the \"Wii,\" complete with a pronounciation guide and essay. This is problematic from many viewpoints. Imagine inviting friends over to play with your Wii. Consider telling your other that you need a Wii. We who sign this petition believe that the new \"Wii\" name should be changed back to the \"Revolution\" to the benefit of all concerned. In addition, we vow to call Nintendo\'s new console the Revolution until they invent a better name.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A motorcyclist is in critical condition after being involved in a crash at a west Louisville intersection Thursday morning.
Just after 9 a.m., MetroSafe received a call about a traffic crash involving a motorcycle and a car at Louis Coleman Drive and Broadway.
Sgt. Barry Denton, supervisor of the Louisville Metro Police traffic unit, told WAVE 3 while the investigation is in the early stages and officers were interviewing witnesses, it is believed the motorcycle was traveling on Broadway and the car involved was on Coleman Drive.
Denton said the motorcycle operator, an African-American man in his 40s, was taken to University Hospital with serious injuries. It was not immediately known if that man was wearing a helmet.
Traffic at the intersection was being diverted while officers investigated the accident. MetroSafe reports the roadway has been completely reopened.
An earlier multiple car crash brought emergency crews to Smyrna Parkway and the Gene Snyder Freeway.
The crash was reported at 8:28 a.m. at the ramp. The vehicles were against tHe cable barriers in the median.
Fire crews from Highview and Okolona, along with Louisville Metro Police and EMS, were on the scene to treat the victims and investigate the crash. The extent of injuries is not known.
MetroSafe said the scene has been cleared.

Number of ratings 4 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Took his Anatomy and Physiology I class in the 5 week summer term. He has high expectations of his students, and you must work hard to learn the material, but he gives you great resources to work with; for instance, he records his lectures so you can go and re-watch them. Great professor.
Dr. Kump explains the concepts very well, but you still have study extremely hard to do well!
This is a woerful teacher. If you go to class and study you can pass with him. He is very clear and fair!
I took A&P I crammed into 5 weeks, 5 nights a week, and moving at a grueling pace (550 pages in the textbook covered). Dr. Kump is a great teacher because he teaches with passion and excitement and will answer your questions. Take good notes and study the practice test questions (know why all answers are right or wrong) and you will do well.

It looks like this department doesn't have any other professors on RateMyProfessors.com. Add a new professor to this school!

Chorley money mentors get an early start
3:00pm Thursday 13th September 2012 in News
Lessons got underway early for a group of pupils at Chorley's Southlands High School.
An 18-strong group were in school ready to go at 5.45am as the BBC Breakfast programme highlighted finance and money management lessons in schools.
The broadcast from Southlands took place thanks to the school's Money Mentor programme, which has been developed there during the past three years.
Students were asked their views on money management in schools and also asked to explain their successful project.
They have written three lessons for schools based on their Money Diaries which have also been written and illustrated by the students.
In teams of six the 18 mentors teach students from other schools to deliver the lessons on their return.
There are 10 other secondary schools working on the project, who then teach their linked primaries.
The Darwen-based Debt Advice Foundation has supported and sponsored the programme.
Southlands maths teacher Neil Birmingham said: "The lessons produced to date study budgeting, savings and methods of payments.
"The BBC producer mentioned how eloquent the students were and how passionate they were on the subject."

Next we tried one of the offered oysters which were grilled and delicious. They came four to an order and were literally the most gigantic oysters I have ever seen. They must have weighed a pound each! It was interesting to eat a warm oyster but they were fresh and tasty.
|Sauteed green beans with fish sauce vinaigrette and cashews
We each chose two dishes and for a party of four, that was plenty of food. You always tend to over-order at small plates restaurants! We tried the sauteed green beans with a fish sauce that also had a nice nutty flavor from cashews. Another vegetable dish that arrived was the chickpea fritters. This was by-far my favorite dish of the evening for its amazing texture and burst of interesting flavors. Two miniature chickpea fritters sat atop two generous slices of fresh mozzarella and were topped with grilled chickpeas and eggplant. When bitten into, these fried nuggets tasted similar to a spanish croqueta.

|Grilled pork ribs with tomatillo-mushroom slaw, grilled scallion vinaigrette
|Doughnuts with honey yogurt, caramelized figs, lemony eggplant and potato chip streusel
|Berry sorbet
Overall, a dinner at Girl & the Goat is definitely worth the wait for a reservation. I recommend keeping an open mind when ordering and trying something you may never get the chance to elsewhere. What I love most about this restaurant is their ability to pair so many unique flavors together and their attention to detail. Each dish had its own amazing flavors and appearance and you could tell no detail was overlooked. I also recommend going with a group so you are able to try many small plates in one sitting. The menu is ever-changing so one visit will undoubtedly be different from the next.
Girl & the Goat gets 4.5 stars for their creative small plates, impeccable service, and its ability to churn out the most interesting flavor combinations.

Rally Falls Short in Regular Season Finale
Men's water polo falls to No. 10 Long Beach State 10-9 as they conclude regular season.
Nov. 13, 2008
Long Beach, CA -- The sixth-ranked Loyola Marymount men's water polo team staged a four-goal fourth quarter rally but it wasn't enough as they fell to 10th-ranked Long Beach State, 10-9, in the regular season finale. The Lions fall to 17-9 on the season as they head into the Western Water Polo Association Championship next weekend at Claremont.
It was the fourth meeting of the season between the 49ers and LMU with each winning at home and at a neutral site. The Lions posted a 12-8 win on Sept. 7 in La Jolla and an 8-6 win at the Burns Center on Sept. 27. Long Beach State earned a 7-6 win at the NorCals on Sept. 21 and then the win Thursday night.
The Lions trailed 3-1 after the first period and trailed 6-3 at the break. Both teams scored a pair of goals in the third period as LMU fell behind 8-5 heading into the final frame. The Lions would get within a goal of taking control of the game but could not get over the hump despite outscoring LBSU 4-2 in the fourth quarter.
Edgaras Asajavicius led the Lions with four goals while goalie Andy Stevens had seven saves.

- 1 lb. small to medium oysters in their liquor
- 1-1/2 cups cold dry white wine
- 2 baguettes (long French bread) stale, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 5 stalks celery, peeled, split lengthwise
- 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
The bread should be completely stale. If not, spread the cubes on a baking sheet and put in a low oven (250°F) for about 1 hour to dry them out. (This light toasting gives the dressing a better flavor.)
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic, onion, celery and thyme to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add bread cubes, parsley and sage to the bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the reserved oyster-infused wine, salt and pepper. Pour this over the stuffing mixture and gently toss all the ingredients; they should combine without mushing. Stir in the drained oysters.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 16-inch baking pan (2 Tbsp). Spread the mixture in the pan and dot with more butter (4 Tbsp). Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour; the top should have a nice golden brown crust. Serves 12.

Georgia looks for its third straight conference win Wednesday night when the Bulldogs travel to Starkville to take on Mississippi State.
The trip to Starkville got off to a rocky start due to the weather and at one point it looked like the Bulldogs might have to take a bus all the way. However, they ended up bussing to Atlanta for a flight into Columbus, Mississippi before taking a short bus ride into Starkville.
The Bulldogs come into the game on a high note having won two straight with wins over LSU and Texas A&M. Georgia's 62-50 win over the Aggies on Saturday improved them to 6-4 in the conference and put them into a tie for fourth place.
Georgia could be catching Mississippi State at a good time given their current five-game losing streak. The Bulldogs most recently suffered a 69-59 loss at home to Kentucky on Saturday.
Mississippi State won the only meeting between the two teams last season scoring a 72-61 win at Stegeman.
Nemanja Djurisic made the trip to Starkville but his status for Wednesday's game won't be determined until sometime closer to tip off. Djurisic left Saturday's game late in the second half with an ankle injury.

Game Date/Time: Wednesday, February 12, 9 p.m. ET

"I'm still hearing about [the Cro Cop loss]. I'm still hearing people. My mother's hearing this kind of s--t. People are approaching my mother and making these comments to her. It's still going on now. This is a feeling I haven't had in a long time. Back in my kickboxing days, I used to have these every once in a while. Just an angry, want to break something, upset at something. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is that's giving me this feeling, this sensation, but I'm very annoyed. Like I'm extremely annoyed and I feel like I've got to break something. I'm the one who I've got to prove something too. The world is either going to be with you or they're going to be against you. … No matter what, people are going to hate your guts anyway. That's part of the job. We all know it and expect that."
Stocky-and-cocky Pat Barry, still taking heat from the fans for his UFC 115 collapse against Mirko Filipovic, wants to "break something" heading into his UFC Fight Night 23: "Fight for the Troops" bout, which could spell trouble for heavyweight opponent Joey Beltran. "HD" suffered a broken hand and foot before succumbing to perhaps the least technical submission in UFC history when "Cro Cop" choked him out back on Sept. 15 in Indianapolis. Do any MMA Maniacs out there "hate his guts" for coming up lame against the Croatian? Or do you support the former kickboxer in his quest to become a more well-rounded mixed martial artist? Opinions please.

I'm about 10 days too late, but whatever.
Happy New Year!
SO glad 2013 is over.
Let's leave it at that.
So. Just realized I haven't updated this in like, forever.
Haven't updated since I started working.
How's everyone doing?
(hint : this is my not so subtle way of asking - does anyone still read this blog or have you all given up on me and my lack of commitment to blogging?)
Work is.. quite frankly, insane.
I've started work at a university hospital (name not provided in case I ever accidentally bitch about something ...I don't want my ass hauled to court -.- Gotta watch what you say on the internet, yo)
Started with Internal Medicine, because I am a masochist.
I felt completely useless when I first started - could hardly take blood, or set lines, or do anything, basically.
God bless my first MO. Man had the patience of a saint and a personality that could put sunshine to shame.
I am not even kidding.
So lucky to have had him there while I was still finding my footing.
I've definitely improved a lot since then, thank goodness.
I've worked with three MOs and three Registrars (and two specialists!) so far, and they've all been equally amazing. So thankful they're patient and willing to teach.
I definitely wouldn't have improved as much if I'd had people scold/be mean whenever I messed up.
On-calls are a whole different horror story.
When I first started, we only had two housemen on-call per night - to cover 7 wards, and the CCU/CRW and HDW (Coronary Care Unit, Cardiac Rehab Ward and High Dependency Ward)...and yes, that is as crazy as it sounds.
We also don't have the shift-system that most other hospitals have, simply because we don't have enough housemen, so we still do on-calls.
[Sunday-Thursday calls are 36 hours, and Friday and Saturday calls are 24 hours.]
Whee.Also, while "post-call" is a good enough excuse for saying stupid things or being unable to answer when your boss asks you theoretical questions, it apparently doesn't warrant you going home early.
And we don't get post-call off days either.
E.g. if I'm on-call Sunday through Monday, then I work again on Tuesday as normal.
We've collectively agreed that thanks to how insane the system, it would be better to have three housemen on-call per night. So that's exactly what we're doing.
Only drawback is now we have two on-calls per week instead of just one.
Oh well.
The funny thing is, I actually seem to be happy.
I've had people ask me how I seem so happy all the time.
I've had people tell me I'm one of the friendliest people they've ever met.
I know my patients do like me.
This is a faaaaar cry from when I was in school/college/med school, where I seemed "arrogant and unapproachable"
So I suppose I must be happy where I am right now.
What was that saying?
I may not have gone where I meant to go, but I seem to have ended up exactly where I'm meant to be?
As you can probably tell, I'm half asleep and very distracted.
I will write a proper post the next time I blog, I promise.
Source of distraction :
Not looking forward to working tomorrow.
(yes I work on Sundays)
Going to a new ward - subspecialty, Haematology (all the blood stuff) - "daily difficult blood taking", as one of my friends so eloquently pointed out.
Okay, goodnight.

Several north Abilene drivers had their car windows shot out or vehicles damaged within the past few days.
According to several police reports, 10 victims filed reports since Thursday.
Some victims said they were not sure how their car windows had been broken out, but others blamed BB gun pellets.
The cars were located on the following streets: Lillius, Briarwood, Clinton, North 9th, Meander and Westview. A business on South 1st Street was also victimized.
Anonymous tips can be called into Abilene Crime Stoppers at (325) 676-TIPS.

It's a very tragic topic-- domestic violence.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
And Megan Duesterhaus with QUANADA in Quincy says that in recent years Illinois has made some significant strides to protect victim's of abuse.
Duesterhaus says in 2008 Illinois passed a law to tag domestic violent offenders with GPS tracking devices.
The abusers' victim then gets a monitor that will alert them if their attacker is in the area.
Duesterhaus says the addition of GPS trackers has made a significant impact on domestic violence.
"This is law enforcement and the justice administrations way of holding offenders more accountable. Because if they have served their time or paid their fines, but it's suspected they are going to re-offend, it's an option to keep people safe," said Duesterhaus/
Duesterhaus says QUANADA is drawing attention to the issue by posting over 100 silhouette signs in its yard to remind passerby's of just how many people are victims of abuse in our area.
And if you feel like you may know someone who is a victim of abuse, Duesterhaus says bruises usually aren't the first red flag.
"Usually you don't see the bruises first it's usually things like that person doesn't have any control over household finances, or that person's not allowed to go anywhere un chaperoned, basically without the abuser or they start pulling back and not talking to family or friends because the abuser is isolating and manipulating them," said Duesterhaus.
(For more signs that you or someone you know could be in a violent relationship click here.)
Duesterhaus says unfortunately it's difficult to approach a victim, and often times they have to be the one who decides to talk about it, or when to get help.
But she says you can call QUANADA at any time and they will help you figure out the best way to handle the situation.
For more information about QUANADA and their services click here.
QUANADA serves 5 counties: Adams, Brown, Hancock, Schuyler, and Pike.
Our main office is in Quincy, Illinois. We have satellite offices in Pittsfield, Rushville, and Mt. Sterling.

Bexley woman celebrates 21st birthday on Africa's highest peak in memory of her dad
4:37pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News By Heloise Wood, reporter
A BEXLEY woman is setting off next Wednesday (Jan 15) to celebrate her 21st birthday on Africa's highest peak in memory of her dad.
Emma Connelly, of Blendon Road, lost her father to cancer when she was aged seven.
The 20-year-old will climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the organisation which cared for him in his final days.
Thanks to Northfleet-based charity EllenorLions Hospices, Emma's dad David was able to stay at home with his family in the final months before he died in 2000.
The customer services liaison officer said: "It made such a difference being able to keep him at home.
"After he died, they also provided us with much-needed bereavement support.
"We are so very grateful to the charity for all they did for us and I wanted to do my bit to give something back."
She will also take a locket reminding of her dad which she will bury at the summit.
EllenorLions Hospices is a charity which serves communities across Bexley and west Kent with hospice care.

Many types of tofu are regularly used in Japanese cooking, all made from the same simple ingredients: soy beans, nigari (a coagulant) and water. Tofu is great to cook with because it is a super-versatile ingredient with several different firmness options. Read more...

A BONUS POINT win for Munster tomorrow against Edinburgh would ensure they get a home draw for April's Heineken Cup quarter finals, after Toulouse were restricted to a 16-6 victory by Zebre this afternoon.
The French side had high hopes of scoring four tries in Parma, but managed only one through scrum-half Sébastien Bézy. Despite a majority of possession and territory, the Top 14 side had to wait until the 38th minute for that score, while Zebre's spirited defence denied them to chance to add more five-pointers in the second period.
Out-half Jean-Marc Doussain converted Bézy's effort and added two penalties, while Luciano Orquera notched six points from the tee for the home side. The result means Toulouse have confirmed top spot in Pool 3, but their inability to secure a bonus point results in them having to depend on other results to ensure a home quarter-final.
With Guy Novès' men ending the pool stages on 23 points, and Munster currently on 18, a bonus point win for the southern province against Edinburgh would see them claim a home quarter-final. The deciding factor to split the sides would be the number of tries they have scored in the pool stages. Toulouse have racked up 16, while Munster are currently on 13.
That means a bonus-point success at home to Edinburgh would guarantee Munster a home draw in the first round of the knock-out stages. That situation seemed unlikely when Rob Penney's team lost at Murrayfield in their opening fixture of this season's Heineken Cup campaign.
Edinburgh will certainly not be accommodating tomorrow afternoon, but at least Munster are aware of what they need to secure a home quarter-final.

A Mobile funeral home has surrendered its license and shut down after being accused of numerous violations in the way it handled bodies.
State regulators say Gilmer's Funeral Service of Mobile was cited for 1,512 violations of the Alabama Funeral Service Law.
Among other things, regulators say unlicensed workers were embalming bodies and directing funerals.
The Alabama Board of Funeral Services says owner Phillip W. Gilmer was facing revocation of his license and a minimum fine of $756,000.
The agency says Gilmer and the board reached a settlement in July and the business closed earlier this month.
The funeral home has since been taken over by Azalea City Funeral and Crematory.

LB Hunter Hillenmeyer has spent eight seasons with the Bears, but his latest concussion has caused him to be released. His time with the Bears is over, but will he continuing playing?
Hunter talked to the Chicago Tribune about lots of things Bears related. Here's what he had to say:
"I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Bears organization. I do not leave this franchise bitter or feeling slighted by anyone in the building. In truth, I've known this day was coming since I landed on IR back in September. In that conversation with Lovie (Smith), he acknowledged that having been made aware of my history, and the number of concussions I had sustained on his watch, that he could not be a part of forcing me back out on the field.
"While at the time I was frustrated with such an abrupt end to my season, I have sought out and continue to seek the medical opinions of the best doctors in country as it relates to brain health and concussions. I am yet to find one that thinks it is a good idea to continue playing football. In hindsight, that makes me grateful that Lovie cared enough about me specifically, but really any player, to take that decision away as it pertains to a medical issue."
"Barring some unforeseen turn of events, I don't think there was a set of circumstances where I would have been cleared to play next season anyway. The more we pull back the curtain on the long-term effects of head injury, the scarier it gets for players in my position, who have multiple diagnosed concussions and countless more 'dings' and headaches. On one hand, I feel lucky to have been relatively candid about my symptoms compared to some colleagues who do everything they can to conceal their struggles. I can only thank the Bears organization, from the trainers and the doctors up to Lovie and Jerry (Angelo), for trying to be proactive in the way concussions are handled. On the other hand, any player who tells you they aren't affected by the tragic stories like Dave Duerson's, that seem to be popping up all too often, are lying."
"I'd like to thank coach (Bob) Babich, my linebacker coach for most of my eight years here, for playing as integral a role as anyone in my development as a player. It's been an honor to play for such a professional staff and with such outstanding teammates. We had a very special group in our linebacker room. While I was always like Ringo of the Beatles, next to such a talented pair, I think we have had the best and deepest linebacking corps in the NFL for a long time. As long as Lance (Briggs) and Brian (Urlacher) are out there together, expect the Bear's defense to remain elite."
"While I won't be filing any retirement papers tomorrow, if I've played my last football game, I'm glad it was with the Bears. Even though I was drafted elsewhere, I have absolutely loved my time as Bear. I love the city, I love the culture; the fans here make it especially easy to feel very at home in Chicago. I think guys like me who spend all of their career here don't realize how good they've got it. It's been a great ride nonetheless."

Seattle, Washington: The 1992-1993 Houston Rockets walked off of the court after having been defeated in Game 7 of the Western Conference semi-finals by the SuperSonics. The Sonics ultimately lost in the next series to the Phoenix Suns.
However, the Houston Rockets went on to win back to back NBA Championships in 1994 and in 1995...
The 2008-2009 Houston Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 7 of the Western Conference semi-finals. (I believe the Los Angeles Lakers might ultimately lose to the Denver Nuggets)
The story for the 2009-2010 Houston Rockets is obviously yet to be written but I would imagine that the offseason will be eventful and that we'll pick up a new player or two, hopefully an athletic big man to back up Yao Ming and perhaps another efficient scorer. Ron Artest will most likely be back as well, as he has expressed his preference to play for the Rockets again.
I like what I see when I look a year or two ahead into the Rockets' future. I think the best years are yet to come. I think Houston could see another NBA Championship sooner rather than later.

The Moral University,' a New Book by Maurice and Clair Berube, Due Out This Month
A former Old Dominion University professor and an ODU graduate examine the ways that schools act morally toward students, faculty, their communities and the nation in a new book, "The Moral University," which is being released May 19 by Rowman & Littlefield.
Maurice R. Berube, eminent scholar emeritus and professor emeritus of educational leadership, and Clair T. Berube, an assistant professor of education and continuing studies at Hampton University, who holds a doctorate in education from ODU, are the husband-wife authors of the book, the second on which they have collaborated. They previously co-wrote "The End of School Reform."
"The Moral University" considers the effectiveness of moral reasoning courses in the curriculum and the growth of leadership courses. The book deals with the myriad ways in which universities act positively toward their communities. It also examines the involvement of universities in national projects.
Moreover, the Berubes examine how students and faculty are treated, especially in terms of gender bias. The book concludes on a positive note with a model moral university.
Their book includes quotes from ODU's two most recent presidents - Roseann Runte and James V. Koch - and its current president, John R. Broderick.
In his review of the book, Henry Giroux, the Global Television Network Chair in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, writes: "Higher education is under siege by a number of forces ranging from corporate and military interests to those who want to remove any vestige of democratic values from the academy. 'The Moral University' provides a robust history, set of critical narratives, and engaging arguments against these dangerous positions.
"It also offers readers one of the best arguments we have as to why matters of ethics, public values, and social responsibility are integral to how we both define the university and create the formative educational culture necessary for any viable notion of democracy. This is a much needed book and should be read by everyone concerned not just with higher education but with democratic values and an aspiring democracy."

by Gabriel RUBIO – GIRON
MADRID, Feb 23, 2013 (AFP) – Michael Haneke's latest project, a staging of Mozart opera "Cosi Fan Tutte", premieres at Madrid's Teatro Real on Saturday, a day before the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles where his most recent film "Amour" is up for five awards.
The Madrid show is his second opera project after his highly-praised operatic debut with "Don Giovanni" in Paris in 2007 — and the 69-year-old said it would be his last.
"This will probably be the last opera that I stage. I want to return to writing screenplays, to my profession, cinema," he told reporters on the eve of a dress rehearsal of "Cosi Fan Tutte" held Thursday for invited guests.
In Haneke's take some actors appear in period costumes while others wear contemporary clothes and talk on mobile telephones, all in the same scene.
"Trying to reproduce pure historical reality is an illusion. We don't know exactly how opera was at the end of the 18th century. We only have images from the last 70 or 80 years. We have a duty to transpose the work to the present," he said.
The Austrian filmmaker will not be present for the premiere of "Cosi Fan Tutte" in Madrid as he will be making his way to Los Angeles for the Oscars. He took to the stage during Thursday's dress rehearsal at the urging of his cast.
"Amour", Haneke's film about an ageing couple that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year, is nominated for Oscars in the best film, director, actress, script and foreign film categories.
"I would like to win them all. I would hope to win at least one — any of them. I am crossing my fingers," Haneke said.
"I am more nervous when I make movies than when I make an opera. And today even more so, before the Oscars."
The movie, staring veteran French actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, won the Golden Globe award for best foreign film last month.
In "Cosi Fan Tutte" Haneke uses bright lights for the scenes of happy moments between the lovers and darkness for scenes of manipulation.
British baritone William Shimell plays the part of the cynical Don Alfonso who tries to convince two young officers that their fiancees, Dorabella played by German soprano Anett Fritsh and Fiordiligi played by Italian mezzo soprano Paola Gardina, could fall prey to the advances of another man.
Written by a depressed Mozart when he was having love pains of his own, "Cosi Fan Tutte" is one of the composer's most challenging operas to stage.
"With Mozart you are condemned to fail. The question is on what level," said Haneke, considered one of the greatest and most uncompromising living filmmakers.
"Cosi Fan Tutte" will run at the Teatro Real until March 17.

Clarus Poll: Favorite Christmas Songs
The American people have spoken––and the nation's favorite Christmas song is… Silent Night!
That's what a new Clarus Poll found in a new nationwide survey.
Following Silent Night in popularity is White Christmas in second place, Little Drummer Boy in third place, and The Christmas Song, also known as "the Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" song, in fourth place. Other songs scored in single digits.
- Republicans were more likely than Democrats to say Silent Night (48% vs. 30%) and Little Drummer Boy (17% vs. 12%). But Democrats were more likely to say The Christmas Song (also known as "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire") than did Republicans (13% vs. 5%).
- Women like Silent Night more than do men; 41% of women chose Silent Night versus 33% of men.
- Twice as many men selected Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer than women (6% vs. 3%).
- People 45 years old and older were more likely to pick White Christmas as their favorite song than were people under than 45 (20% vs. 16%). Younger people were more likely to favor Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer than older people, 9% vs. 3%.
The poll, conducted by Clarus Research Group, a nonpartisan Washington, D.C.-based survey company, was based on a scientifically-selected sample of 1,100 U.S. adults nationwide. The poll was conducted Dec. 5-7, 2012, by live telephone interviewers, landline and cell. Margin of error is 2.95 percent.
I am now going to read you a number of Christmas song titles. Please tell me which one is your favorite.
- Silent Night 37%
- White Christmas 19%
- Little Drummer Boy 13%
- The Christmas Song--also known as "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" song 10%
- Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer 5%
- Feliz Navidad 5%
- Jingle Bells 4%
- Santa Claus is Coming To Town 2%
- Volunteered another song 2%
- Don't know/no answer 3%

Provided by Lubbock Red Cross
The 2012 annual membership meeting of the American Red Cross South Plains Regional Chapter was held Thursday night at the American State Bank conference center in Lubbock. Nearly 60 volunteers, donors and staff were on hand to honor local award winners and recognize incoming and outgoing board members.
Molly Mabery, the chapter's volunteer specialist, was named this year's Chapter Employee of the Year. Executive Director Shannon Smith describes Molly's excitement and "can do" attitude towards volunteers as infectious and notes that she's willing to roll up her sleeves regardless of what needs to get done. Earlier this year the chapter responded to an apartment explosion while two of the emergency services department's three leaders were in Dallas in the aftermath of tornadoes in that area. Molly quickly jumped in and took charge at the disaster scene until a leader was able to get there. That same leadership has led to increase volunteer interest and involvement with the chapter.
Dwain Cox was named the Chapter's Volunteer of the Year, having previously won that award in 2010. Dwain serves as a Disaster Action Team Captain and training officer and takes care of the chapter's fleet, helping to ensure that they're ready to deploy at a moment's notice. Earlier this year Dwain deployed to the Metroplex and spent a week working out of an Emergency Response Vehicle making sure that families in the Lancaster area were taken care of. Chairman Bill Curnow notes that Dwain is calm under pressure and never seems to run out of smiles and reassuring words for his clients.
The Clara Barton Award for Meritorious Service was awarded to Bill Curnow. Vice Chairman Gerry Grant noted that this award is given to a volunteer who has exemplified exceptional leadership qualities in more than one role, has enhanced services and systems, and is focused on solutions to problems. Since joining the Red Cross during Hurricane Katrina Bill has become the Disaster Action Team coordinator, a disaster instructor, the volunteer partner for Emergency Services, a media spokesman and has served as the Board Chairman for the last two years.
Earlier in the evening the Chairman recognized outgoing board members Jon Stephens of SouthWest Bank, Randy Norman of City Bank, Steve Lewis of Platinum Bank, and Joseph Peterson of the American Red Cross Club at Texas Tech for their service and leadership over the years.
Those in attendance confirmed interim board members Andy Seager of McWhorter Cobb and Johnson, Brant Daniel of Plains Capital Bank, Darby Dickerson of the Texas Tech University School of Law, Bridget Faulkenberry of the City of Lubbock, Kristi Gonzales of United Supermarkets, Christy Hartin of KCBD NewsChannel 11, Shelby Means of American State Bank, Dr. Berhl Robertson, Jr. of the Lubbock Independent School District, and Lewis Treadwell of the City of Lubbock Fire Department (retired) and regular board members.
Returning board members include commercial contractor Scott Collier, Clarke Cochran of Covenant Health System, Marla Cottenoir of South Plains College (retired), business development consultant Marc Farmer, Jay Martinez-Garcia of the American Red cross Club at Texas Tech Universaity, and Shamini Parameswaran, a medical student at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine.
At the conclusion of the meeting the board re-elected Chairman Bill Curnow of Plains Cotton Cooperative Association and Vice-Chairman Gerry Grant of Lubbock Power & Light for a third term and elected Brant Daniel of Plains Capital Bank as board's Secretary.
The South Plains Regional Chapter serves more than 410,000 people living in 15 counties. Last year volunteers responded to 114 disasters and provided assistance to more than 363 individuals. The chapter also provided support to more than 351 members of our armed forces and their families and rolled out new innovations in CPR and first aid education throughout their service area.

Out with the old, in with the new. We've given you our best, we've offered up our worst, and now, stick a fork in us, because our annual year-end spectacular is more done than Helena Bonham Carter at the end of Sweeney Todd. Top tens are fun, and bottom elevens are even more fun, but goddamn it, so much gets lost in the middle.
To rectify this aching problem (ewww), check out those films that by all accounts should have made it to the top ten, nearly squeaked in, or were disqualified on account of being, oh, 30-plus years old. Then turn your attention to those films that we can't quite get behind, even if they have a lot of smart vocal supporters. And finally, join in our old-fashioned coin toss for our once annual, previously thought retired "Two Cents" column, in which we get together and award the best and brightest of the industry...for one night only...check your local listings....this year, though we had to settle for host Billy Bush (he's good!).
It's just one more chance to sound off on those things that gave us movie hard-ons . . .
. . . those things that made us go "meh" . . .
. . . and those things that made going to the movies feel strangely akin to a rupturous bowel movement.
Chad Channing | January 16, 2008 6:48 AM
Yeah, Robbie, that's all I was trying to say. I saw 29 Palms at the Nuart, it must have been midnight, and the only other people in the theatre were two single men. The movie ended and I was frightened, like I just woke up from a nightmare, and there was no one on the road as I was driving home, and it seemed as if the film was bleeding into my life a little bit. I hadn't felt that way in a long time and from what people told me about the ending of TWBB, I thought maybe I would feel that way again. But I didn't because I thought the ending of TWBB was a little silly. Yes, it was the logical conclusion for all involved, it's just the way that PTA shot and cut the scene that I thought was silly, Kubrick/2001 references and symmetrical beginning/ending hoo-hah be damned. The ending of TWBB was not cruel enough, I guess is what I'm trying to say. It was melo-operatic and told me that PTA has probably never seen any kind of real violence up close in his life. I just wish that TWBB had a little more French running through it's blood. American filmmakers know how to make violence and murder gross and funny. And I'm sorry, but the end of TWBB is funny. Actually, the whole movie is funny, and I'm starting to pick up on this from other people. I don't think TWBB is going to be a camp classic, but it could.

Thanks for reading, Chad; we're usually more used to people taking us to task for our "thumbing through thesauruses" (the usual response from monosyllabic morons). So the positive feedback is refreshing! It shouldn't come as a surprise that we're great fans of Dumont, as well; the complete failure and general indifference to Flanders astonished us. Perhaps if it had come out closer to the release of the far more problematic, even more stylized Redacted, critics (and a handful of lucky viewers) would have been more willing to note its achievements, even on a relative level.
I think your response to the end of There Will Be Blood obviously had a lot to do with your expectations; as you say, you "wanted" to feel a certain way at the end of the film. And though that's totally understandable (oh, man, if only American films could regularly make me feel the way those works by the world's great film artists do), I think Anderson wasn't necessarily trying to achieve what Dumont was aiming for at the end of Twentynine Palms. There's a shock to the end of TWBB I think because, though an allegory, the film has become greatly character driven at that point, and that sort of behavior is unimaginable to an ostensible "hero" figure. In Twentynine Palms, the characters remain purposely stenciled in; when the final shock happens, it arrives with the full weight of repression; the id unleashed. I like both films very much, but they're hard to compare. But for the record, yes, I think the end of Dumont's film is not only more conventionally "shocking," but also truly, primally explosive. I was truly rocked to my core at the end of Dumont's film, and I literally shook for a long time after. I can't recall the last time an American film did that to me.
Chad Channing | January 15, 2008 6:25 AM
Reverse Shot is my favorite film site. You guys have, consistently, the best writing. And I also wanted to thank you for giving a nod to Dumont. I thought Flanders was a nice step in another direction (I mean, the last words in the movie are I love you. In a Dumont film?), and I always get excited when I hear he has another film coming out, even if it does take an extra six months to get to Los Angeles. And while I liked TWBB, it's ending is a wet fart compared to 29 Palms. I thought I was going to be shocked by what happens to Dano, but I wasn't. Nothing compares to the ending of 29 Palms. Fat Girl comes kind of close. And the first murder in Irreversible, where the guy in the gay club gets his head bashed in with a fire extinguisher, is, I think, what PTA was going for, but I don't think even he has the cojones to put that kind of carnage on screen. I mean, that scene in Irreversible was upsetting, and that's what I wanted to feel at the end of TWBB, but I wasn't, because the scene didn't have the kind of compositional detachement that Irreversible did. So I just don't get why everyone is so agog over the ending of TWBB, but that's just me. Anyway, good stuff.
