Clay Yeo wasn't going to let this be his final game.
The Triton senior scored 16 points as the Trojans beat Lafayette Central Catholic 40-32 in the 1A Semi-State Saturday afternoon in Lafayette.
Triton now advances to the 1A State Championship game next Saturday at 1030am against Borden at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
It marks the 4th time in six years the Trojans have made it to the State Finals, which they last won in 2008. This year's seniors made it as sophomores but lost. Now Yeo and company want to end their careers by winning it all.
Fellow senior Seth Gingle had a putback bucket at the buzzer to end the 1st quarter as Triton led 9-6 after one period and then 20-17 at halftime.
Yeo, who will play at Valpo next season, did his damage in the 3rd quarter including a monster dunk that put Triton up 26-19. The Trojans led 30-21 heading to the 4th and held off Central Catholic the rest of the way.

2003 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT OF NITRIC OXIDE ON BACTERIAL PATHOGENS CAUSING PNEUMONIA IN THE ICU: A Pilot Study
McMullin B. RRT1, Miller C. RRT BA PhD(c)2, Roscoe D. MD2,3
1. Vancouver Hospital -UBC site, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
2. University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
3. Vancouver Hospital-VGH site, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
BACKGROUND: Nosocomial pneumonia is the second most frequent nosocomial infection and the leading cause of death from infections acquired in the hospital.1 Recent studies have demonstrated that gaseous nitric oxide (gNO) is cidal to bacteria and that inhaled NO is beneficial to bacterial clearance.2,3
OBJECTIVE: Determine the antimicrobial effect of exogenous gNO in vitro against organisms from culture collections and ultimately pathogens derived from tracheal aspirates of mechanically ventilated (MV) patients suspected of having pneumonia in an intensive care unit (ICU).
METHOD: Prior to the testing of ICU patient isolates a pilot study was conducted using Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Using pure cultures, a 0.5 McFarland standard with 108 colony forming units (CFU) per ml was prepared and further diluted l:1000 with saline to 105 CFU per ml. Three mL was pipetted into each well of a six well plate, and placed in a specially designed incubator. The incubator had both a control chamber, in which the organism suspension was exposed to a constant flow of heated (37.4 ? 0.2o C) and humidified air (RH= 74.1 ? 5.1), and a test chamber, in which a constant flow of gNO at 200 parts per million (ppm) in air was added to the same temperature and humidified air as in the control chamber. Samples (0.1ml, 0.01ml, and 0.001ml) were drawn off at time intervals of 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, were plated onto 5% sheep blood agar plates, and placed in a traditional incubator at 35o C for 24 hours. All tests were performed in duplicate. CFU per ml were visually counted to determine % kill. Clinical isolates were obtained from sputum samples from MV patients with suspected pneumonia in a multi-disciplinary ICU collected for diagnostic purposes. Pathogens were cultured and identified by routine laboratory methods and tested according to the above protocol.
RESULTS: Total kill (100%) of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) CFUs was noted between 6-12 hours of exposure to 200 ppm gNO as compared to the control arm. The control arm had 100% survival during the study interval when compared to the original inoculum.
CONCLUSION: Gaseous NO is bactericidal on ATCC strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa suspended in saline. Testing of isolates from ICU patients is on-going. 1. Höffken G.

I've purchased these shoes in a local shoe store so hoped that they would be the same and they were. As always, Overstock came through for me. Certainly is an easy way to shop.
These are mu go-to work shoes. I would be lost if they were ever discontinued because I wear this style so often. Fortunately, Enzo Angiolini makes them in a variety of colors to match or blend with almost any color scheme. These shoes are comfortable and last a long time.
Had to return the shoes, they were exactly what I wanted except they were too large, the shoe box had the size I ordered but the size on the shoes were a size and a half larger than I ordered. Would have given 5 stars otherwise.
I bought this shoe and style because my sister loves them. It's very hard to find a wide width shoe, so I tried these. The length is perfect but even though these are a wide width they are a bit tight across the toes, but perfect at the heel. Hopefully they will stretch out with wear. The only thing I really don"t like is that the sole is so very thin. This is not too bad considering I will not be using them on a daily basis.
the shoes came in a fair amount of time, and although I ordered the shoes that were the ladies' size, the shoes were too large. the quality of the shoes were fair for the price

Chosen by Cape Cod Life magazine as one of the Top Ten places to stay on Cape Cod, our waterfront estate has breathtaking 180' views of Pleasant Bay and 300' of waterfront (this means just for YOU - not shared by the neighborhood.) plus you are directly on the water, not across the street or down the lane. Family owned the estate has been a landmark to Pleasant bay for 100 years. There are 3 acres of open lawn, 17 rms, 9 bedrms, 5 1/2 baths plus an enclosed outdoor shower with dressing room. Two wings of the house plus the 2nd floor have central air and the master bedrm has a window unit. This means 8 of the 9 bedrms have A/C. The 2001 kitchen features a 48' Sub-zero refrigerator, Corian counters, plus the estate includes the former servants wing with a 2nd fully equipped kitchen. There is lots of room for everyone to spread out with three living rooms, game room with pool table and darts, private deck on the beach, and mooring for your boat.The estate is on one of the highest points on Pleasant Bay offering magnificent views.

The fabulous estate.....: This very special property is a landmark to the area and owned by the same family since it was built on the shores of Pleasant Bay 100 years ago.

It is an ideal environment for multi generational family members to vacation together - or old or new friends with lots of children to spread out, enjoy each others company, yet find privacy and peace.
Down the end of an old cape cod road, then down the end of a private seashell driveway, there are no streets, traffic, or even pedestrians nearby. Pleasant Bay is reached by a pathway down the bluff in front of the house and features a deck to sit on.The Bay has a gradual sandy bottom, warm water great for swimming, floating on rafts, paddle boarding, sailing, kayaking, and walking along the shore.

So without further ado--
The world according to Lucas
First published in Businessworld, approximately June 1999
On films Filipino and otherwise, on art, history, food and any other grotesqueries I can think of.
You have no knowledge of the work of Stanley Kauffmann, since you cannot even spell his name correctly. Kauffmann, asked long ago, why he did not care for the mindless, empty-headed movies now being released and praised by critics with uncultured minds, He replied that he had simply grown up. But that there always had been and always would be a coterie of boys who never grow up and watch junk and then try pitifully to come up with an aesthetic for it. Have you considered watching a movie made for grown ups instead of young boys.
I try when I can; can't always; it's called a job.
Have you tried not being a casual douchebag?
Thanks for the spelling correction!

MPs call for ID theft czar
UK politicians are calling for the creation of an identity theft "czar" to lead the fight against the growing form of crime. The Parliamentary All Party Group on Identity Fraud said the role is needed to co-ordinate work by the government, police, and private sector. The committee of MPs also want police to appoint dedicated …
One stop shop
I suppose this is another 'ID cards are good for you' push by our delightful Government.
The possibility that ID cards will turn out to be a one-stop ID theft bonanza seems to have escaped their notice.
Far from being a barrier to ID theft, they will provide a single point of attack.
Its an SSO system for your entire life. Like any SSO (single sign-on) system, once it has become compromised everything it protects is compromised.
Imagine someone committing a fraud using a UK ID card in your name? Imagine trying to prove it wasn't you to a jury convinced of their infallibility?
Personally the idea of these cards frightens me more than ID theft, terrorism, or anything else these damn things are supposed to combat.
Identity theft is not theft
It's a blanket term that the identity card people came up with to help define a BIG problem they could sell their BIG EXPENSIVE ID cards as the solution to. When someone steals from your bank account they're not stealing your identity, they're stealing your money.
It is,
1. Credit card fraud, the solution is for credit card companies to spend proper money on tokens & smart cards and stop making excuses or offloading the liability onto merchants.
2. Bank id fraud. UK & US problem, rest of Europe uses challenge-response tokens and challenge-response cards and it is not a problem for those banks. UK banks don't see to want to spend the money because they have free banking. Fixing this does not fix 1, because they do not share the same ID and it would be unwise to make them share the same ID.
3. Government stuff, like claiming social security on false ID, that's an ID card problem. Fixing this doesn't fix 1 & 2 since they're really unrelated except for the vague term.
4. Stuff thrown in to exaggerate the problem, e.g. fake names on email spam used to pad out the number of people who are victims of attempted 'identity theft'. SPF should be mandatory.
5. Phishing, if they fixed 1,2,3, what would the attacker phish for?
Since the problem has different solutions in different cases, and since most of the problem is caused by banks and credit card companies trying to avoid spending money while looking like they're doing something, the fix is to not go along with the hype and to remind them that it's their job to ensure their users are the ones logging in, and that their credit card owners are the ones spending on the credit cards, and that UK Gov fixes the birth-certificate/death-certificate loophole.
Appointing a co-ordinator for separate problems, only gives them an excuse not to fix the problem until a 'common' solution can be found.
Steve Jobs
Shock! Horror!
But what happens if Richard Brunstrom (shudder!) gets the job.....?
I've got my coat, call me a ferry
(I'm leaving the UK)
another pointless knee jerk from out well informed government
Because we all know that adding the term 'Czar' to anyone's title makes them some kind of expert.
If we had better privacy and clearer privacy laws then ID theft would be harder.....perhaps they should look a the big picture for a change and see what a great place the erosion of privacy has made UK.
Benefit Fraud
A significant chunk of the alleged £1.7b cost of ID fraud is benefit fraud, but that won't be solved by an ID card as the people *are* who they say they are. It's their circumstances that they are lying about.
And most of the credit card fraud is Card Not Present anyway so how the hell is anyone going to check the ID card?
At least Joe Public seems to be wising up - check out the comments on the BBC's article
Responsibilities of the job
Responsibilities of the job will include:-
1) Artificially inflating ID fraud numbers by including all card holder not present fraud and various internet scams.
2) Selling the governments ID card scheme, despite having no answer on how it can tackle card holder not present fraud and various internet scams.
3) Making the case for further erosion of privacy by wholesale data sharing with in government and to unaccountable private firms with abysmal security records.
No previous experience of fraud prevention, civil liberties or data security required.
Bringing the problem into the light
The majority of our population do not think about the problems associated with ID cards or the potential of safe banking if money was spent - BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD ABOUT THEM!
I can only hope that if a Tsar is appointed, the issue is shown to be the problem that it is, the public is informed and demands action.
As far as credit card fraud is concerned - have a look at the article on GrIDsure, also in this wonderful Register of ours. It takes a lot of the expense out of the equation.
Every time the government annoints a retired copper, third-rank civil servant, or quangocrat as czar or czarina for this that and the other, there is a fuck-up followed by a bust-up. The efforts and pontifications of MPs are little better.
The solution (for all revolutionary-minded vultures) is in the Rolling Stones' line from 'Sympathy For The Devil'...
"I killed the czar and his ministers / Anastasia screamed in vain"
Let's have some blood on the carpets of Westminster.
Or at least some commonsense proposals that eschew the word 'czar'..
Breakdown of figures
The £1.7bn figure keeps being mentioned, but the figures don't stand up to scrutiny. The full breakdown is at http://www.identitytheft.org.uk/ID%20fraud%20table.pdf and the biggest "losses" (nearly £1.5bn) are from stolen credit cards, money laundering, carousel fraud and "telecoms" fraud. The next biggest (about £120m) are from identity checking for the passport and immigration services. From the justifications in the ID fraud table it's pretty obvious that a lot of the figures were cooked up to make the problem sound worse than it is for the ID card/database scheme (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/03/clumsy_id_card_study/).
ID theft has always struck me as being a type of fraud where the victim is blamed for not being careful enough. There was an interesting article on El Reg a few years ago at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/21/phantoms_and_rogues/ about phantom withdrawals from cash machines. These days phantom withdrawals would probably be dismissed as "identity theft" and the victim told to stop making a fuss. I think the only effective way to stop ID theft would be to make the banks and govt departments liable for the fraud unless they can prove gross negligence.
The £1.7bn ID fraud figure is itself a fraud
Some more data to back up the point made by the previous poster:
In July 2002 the Cabinet Office published a study saying ID fraud costs the country £1.3 billion per year.[1] In February 2006 the Home Office revised this figure upwards to £1.7 billion.[2] Ministers have quoted these figures repeatedly to justify the huge cost of their National Identity Scheme. However, they don't stand up to independent scrutiny. For instance:
* The 2002 report shows £370 million of identity fraud reported by APACS, the bank clearing service for plastic cards and cheques, but APACS itself says the real figure was only £20.6 million – about 6% of the government's claim.[3]
* The Cabinet Office says identity fraud cost the insurance industry £250 million in 2002, but in June 2005 the Association of British Insurers told reporter Andrew Gilligan "I'm not sure where that figure comes from. It's not from us. ... Insurance fraud tends to be people claiming in their real names for false losses. ID fraud is not a particularly big problem in the insurance sector".[4]
* The 2002 and 2006 reports both include £215 million for Missing Trader Intra-Community" (MTIC) fraud, also known as Carousel Fraud, where goods are bought and sold by fictitious companies in different countries in the EU, with VAT which was never actually paid "claimed back" from EU governments. However, a spokesman for HM Revenue & Customs told Andrew Gilligan "We wouldn't normally describe MTIC fraud as ID fraud".[4]
Once these and other dubious "costs" of identity fraud have been excluded, the true cost of identity fraud to the UK has been estimated at £150 million in 2002, or about 12% of the government's figure.[4]

"Bronchiolitis in children. A national clinical guideline." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
Any amendments to the guideline in the interim period will be noted on Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) Web site .
The guideline was reaffirmed for currency by the developer in 2009.
Infants less than 12 months of age
As infants with significant comorbidities have increased susceptibility to bronchiolitis beyond twelve months of age, the following specific groups were considered up to 24 months of age:
Note: The guideline focuses on the clinically diagnosed condition of bronchiolitis in infants less than 12 months of age. This minimises any bias from reporting discrepancies associated with the diagnosis of bronchiolitis above this age.
Bronchiolitis in immunodeficient infants or those with rare ("orphan") disease was not considered.
Note: The following diagnostic interventions were considered but not recommended for routine use:
Guideline developers considered but did not recommend the following: Nebulized ribavirin, antibiotics, beta 2 bronchodilators, nebulized epinephrine, anti-inflammatories, chest physiotherapy, Palivizumab (not recommended for routine use) RSV hyperimmune globulin (RSVIG) (RSVIG therapy is not licensed for use in the United Kingdom (UK).
The evidence base for this guideline was synthesised in accordance with Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) methodology. A systematic literature review was carried out using an explicit search strategy devised by the SIGN Information Officer in collaboration with members of the guideline development group. Literature searches were initially conducted in Medline, Embase, Cinahl and the Cochrane Library, using the year range 2000-2005. The main searches were supplemented by material identified by individual members of the development group. All selected papers were evaluated using standard methodological checklists. The Medline version of the main search strategies can be found on the SIGN website.
2009 Currency Review Process
Systematic searches were carried out in 2009 for new guidelines, health technology assessments and Cochrane reviews relevant to the guideline topic. All searches used MeSH headings for the condition specified, plus any common variations as free text. If a particular health care sector was involved (e.g., primary care) search results focused on this sector. In most cases search filters were used to further focus results on RCTs or diagnostic studies.
The sources searched were: National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE); National Library for Health guidelines finder; National Guideline Clearinghouse; and GIN Web site.
Not stated
Levels of Evidence
1++: High quality meta-analyses, systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), or RCTs with a very low risk of bias
1+: Well-conducted meta-analyses, systematic reviews of RCTs, or RCTs with a low risk of bias
1-: Meta-analyses, systematic reviews of RCTs, or RCTs with a high risk of bias
2++: High quality systematic reviews of case control or cohort studies High quality case control or cohort studies with a very low risk of confounding or bias and a high probability that the relationship is causal
2+: Well-conducted case control or cohort studies with a low risk of confounding or bias and a moderate probability that the relationship is causal
2-: Case control or cohort studies with a high risk of confounding or bias and a significant risk that the relationship is not causal
3: Non-analytic studies (e.g. case reports, case series)
4: Expert opinion
Once papers have been selected as potential sources of evidence, the methodology used in each study is assessed to ensure its validity. The result of this assessment will affect the level of evidence allocated to the paper, which will in turn influence the grade of recommendation that it supports.
The methodological assessment is based on a number of key questions that focus on those aspects of the study design that research has shown to have a significant influence on the validity of the results reported and conclusions drawn. These key questions differ between study types, and a range of checklists is used to bring a degree of consistency to the assessment process. Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) has based its assessments on the MERGE (Method for Evaluating Research and Guideline Evidence) checklists developed by the New South Wales Department of Health, which have been subjected to wide consultation and evaluation. These checklists were subjected to detailed evaluation and adaptation to meet SIGN's requirements for a balance between methodological rigour and practicality of use.
The assessment process inevitably involves a degree of subjective judgment. The extent to which a study meets a particular criterion (e.g., an acceptable level of loss to follow up) and, more importantly, the likely impact of this on the reported results from the study will depend on the clinical context. To minimise any potential bias resulting from this, each study must be evaluated independently by at least two group members. Any differences in assessment should then be discussed by the full group. Where differences cannot be resolved, an independent reviewer or an experienced member of SIGN Executive staff will arbitrate to reach an agreed quality assessment.
Evidence Tables
Evidence tables are compiled by SIGN executive staff based on the quality assessments of individual studies provided by guideline development group members. The tables summarise all the validated studies identified from the systematic literature review relating to each key question. They are presented in a standard format to make it easier to compare results across studies, and will present separately the evidence for each outcome measure used in the published studies. These evidence tables form an essential part of the guideline development record and ensure that the basis of the guideline development group's recommendations is transparent.
Additional details can be found in the companion document titled "SIGN 50: A Guideline Developers' Handbook." (Edinburgh [UK]: Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. [SIGN publication; no. 50]), available from the SIGN Web site .
Synthesising the Evidence
Guideline recommendations are graded to differentiate between those based on strong evidence and those based on weak evidence. This judgment is made on the basis of an (objective) assessment of the design and quality of each study and a (perhaps more subjective) judgment on the consistency, clinical relevance and external validity of the whole body of evidence. The aim is to produce a recommendation that is evidence-based, but which is relevant to the way in which health care is delivered in Scotland and is therefore implementable.
It is important to emphasise that the grading does not relate to the importance of the recommendation, but to the strength of the supporting evidence and, in particular, to the predictive power of the study designs from which that data was obtained. Thus, the grading assigned to a recommendation indicates to users the likelihood that, if that recommendation is implemented, the predicted outcome will be achieved.
Considered Judgment
It is rare for the evidence to show clearly and unambiguously what course of action should be recommended for any given question. Consequently, it is not always clear to those who were not involved in the decision making process how guideline developers were able to arrive at their recommendations, given the evidence they had to base them on. In order to address this problem, SIGN has introduced the concept of considered judgment.
Under the heading of considered judgment, guideline development groups summarise their view of the total body of evidence covered by each evidence table. This summary view is expected to cover the following aspects:
Guideline development groups are provided with a pro forma in which to record the main points from their considered judgment. Once they have considered these issues, the group is asked to summarise their view of the evidence and assign a level of evidence to it, before going on to derive a graded recommendation.
Additional detail about SIGN's process for formulating guideline recommendations is provided in Section 6 of the companion document titled "SIGN 50: A Guideline Developers' Handbook." (Edinburgh [UK]: Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. [SIGN publication; no. 50], available from the SIGN Web site .
SIGN's internal review concluded that new evidence does not change the recommendations in a material way and the guideline is considered current.
Grades of Recommendation
Note: The grade of recommendation relates to the strength of the evidence on which the recommendation is based. It does not reflect the clinical importance of the recommendation.
A: At least one meta-analysis, systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), or RCT rated as 1++ and directly applicable to the target population; or
A body of evidence consisting principally of studies rated as 1+, directly applicable to the target population, and demonstrating overall consistency of results
B: A body of evidence including studies rated as 2++, directly applicable to the target population, and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 1++ or 1+
C: A body of evidence including studies rated as 2+, directly applicable to the target population and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2++
D: Evidence level 3 or 4; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2+
Good Practice Points: Recommended best practice based on the clinical experience of the guideline development group
Cost Effectiveness of Rapid Virological Testing for RSV
Rapid virological testing can be of benefit in relation to guiding isolation and allocating patients into cohorts in hospital. Rapid testing for RSV, which can be performed at the point of care in order to facilitate this, has been shown to have acceptable performance in comparison to laboratory based tests despite reduced diagnostic sensitivity.
A case control study found that rapid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections in infants was cost effective by reducing length of hospital stay, antibiotic use and number of microbiological tests performed compared to a matched group of patients from the previous year who were diagnosed by virus culture.
There may be a reduction in unnecessary interventions associated with knowledge of RSV status. In a postal survey, physicians reported that a definitive viral diagnosis was important to patients.
Cost Effectiveness of Palivizumab Prophylaxis
A well conducted systematic review identified seven United Kingdom RSV related cost studies. The studies consistently concluded that the costs of palivizumab prophylaxis were far in excess of any likely savings achieved by decreasing hospital admission rates. One of the studies performed a sensitivity analysis and found that the probability of hospital admission would have to be >31% for palivizumab to be cost effective. The non-societal perspective of most studies was acknowledged.
Another systematic review encompassing UK and non-UK studies reported diverse results ranging from cost savings to considerable incremental costs per hospitalisation avoided. The diversity was attributed to the range of different infant groups, study methods and assumptions and also to the poor quality of some of the studies In general palivizumab was not cost effective if administered to all infants for whom it was approved.
The national open meeting is the main consultative phase of Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) guideline development. The national open meeting for this guideline was held on 9th December 2005 and was attended by 150 representatives of all the key specialties relevant to the guideline.
The draft guideline was also available on the SIGN website for a limited period at this stage to allow those unable to attend the meeting to contribute to the development of the guideline.
Peer Review
All SIGN guidelines are reviewed in draft form by independent expert referees, who are asked to comment primarily on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of interpretation of the evidence base supporting the recommendations in the guideline. A number of general practitioners (GPs) and other primary care practitioners also provide comments on the guideline from the primary care perspective, concentrating particularly on the clarity of the recommendations and their assessment of the usefulness of the guideline as a working tool for the primary care team. The draft is also sent to a lay reviewer in order to obtain comments from the patient's perspective. The comments received from peer reviewers and others are carefully tabulated and discussed with the chairman and with the guideline development group. Each point must be addressed and any changes to the guideline as a result noted or, if no change is made, the reasons for this recorded.
As a final quality control check prior to publication, the guideline and the summary of peer reviewers' comments are reviewed by the SIGN Editorial Group for that guideline to ensure that each point has been addressed adequately and that any risk of bias in the guideline development process as a whole has been minimised. Each member of the guideline development group is then asked formally to approve the final guideline for publication.
Note from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) and National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC): In addition to these evidence-based recommendations, the guideline development group also identifies points of best clinical practice in the full-text guideline document.
The grades of recommendations (A–D) and levels of evidence (1++, 1+, 1-, 2++, 2+, 2-, 3, 4) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Diagnostic Value of Clinical Characteristics
D - The absence of fever should not preclude the diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis.
D - In the presence of high fever (axillary temperature >39°C) careful evaluation for other causes should be undertaken before making a diagnosis.
Respiratory Rate
D - Increased respiratory rate should arouse suspicion of lower respiratory tract infection, particularly bronchiolitis or pneumonia.
Summary of Diagnostic Characteristics
D - A diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis should be considered in an infant with nasal discharge and a wheezy cough, in the presence of fine inspiratory crackles and/or high pitched expiratory wheeze. Apnoea may be a presenting feature.
D - Healthcare professionals should take seasonality into account when considering the possible diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis.
Risk Factors for Severe Disease
Significant Comorbidities
Summary of Effect of Comorbidity
C - Healthcare professionals should be aware of the increased need for hospital admission in infants born at less than 35 weeks gestation and in infants who have congenital heart disease or chronic lung disease of prematurity.
Social Factors
C - Breast feeding reduces the risk of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related hospitalisation and should be encouraged and supported.
Parental Smoking
C - Healthcare professionals should inform families that parental smoking is associated with increased risk of RSV-related hospitalisation.
Oxygen Saturation
C - Pulse oximetry should be performed in every child who attends hospital with acute bronchiolitis.
Chest X-ray
C - Chest X-ray should not be performed in infants with typical acute bronchiolitis.
Virological Testing
D - Unless adequate isolation facilities are available, rapid testing for RSV is recommended in infants who require admission to hospital with acute bronchiolitis, in order to guide cohort arrangements.
Bacteriological Testing
C - Routine bacteriological testing (of blood and urine) is not indicated in infants with typical acute bronchiolitis. Bacteriological testing of urine should be considered in febrile infants less than 60 days old.
D - Full blood count is not indicated in assessment and management of infants with typical acute bronchiolitis.
D - Measurement of urea and electrolytes is not indicated in the routine assessment and management of infants with typical acute bronchiolitis but should be considered in those with severe disease.
B - Nebulised ribavirin is not recommended for treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants.
Inhaled Bronchodilators
B - Inhaled beta 2 agonist bronchodilators are not recommended for the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants.
Nebulised Epinephrine
A - Nebulised epinephrine is not recommended for the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants.
Inhaled Corticosteroids
A - Inhaled corticosteroids are not recommended for the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants.
Systemic Corticosteroids
A - Oral systemic corticosteroids are not recommended for the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants.
Hospital Based Supplementary Therapies
A - Chest physiotherapy using vibration and percussion is not recommended in infants hospitalised with acute bronchiolitis who are not admitted to intensive care.
Nasal Suction
D - Nasal suction should be used to clear secretions in infants hospitalised with acute bronchiolitis who exhibit respiratory distress due to nasal blockage.
Maintaining Fluid Balance/Hydration
D - Nasogastric feeding should be considered in infants with acute bronchiolitis who cannot maintain oral intake or hydration.
D - Infants with oxygen saturation levels <92% or who have severe respiratory distress or cyanosis should receive supplemental oxygen by nasal cannulae or facemask.
Symptom Duration and Hospital Discharge
Duration of Symptoms Following Acute Bronchiolitis
B - Parents and carers should be informed that, from the onset of acute bronchiolitis, around half of infants without comorbidity are asymptomatic by two weeks but that a small proportion will still have symptoms after four weeks.
Limiting Disease Transmission
D - Healthcare professionals should be educated about the epidemiology and control of RSV where appropriate.
Ward-Based Strategies
D - Staff should decontaminate their hands (with soap and water or alcohol gel) before and after caring for patients with viral respiratory symptoms.
D - Gloves and plastic aprons (or gowns) should be used for any direct contact with the patient or their immediate environment.
D - Infected patients should be placed in single rooms. If adequate isolation facilities are unavailable, the allocation of patients into cohorts should be based on laboratory confirmation of infection in all inpatients less than two years of age with respiratory symptoms.
D - Both service providers and staff should be aware of the risk that those with upper respiratory tract infections pose for high-risk infants.
D - Local policies should restrict hospital visiting by those with symptoms of respiratory infections.
D - There should be ongoing surveillance by control of infection staff to monitor compliance with infection control procedures.
Information for Parents and Carers
Information Provision
D - Parents and carers should receive information about their child's condition, its treatment and prognosis.
Good Practice Points: Recommended best practice based on the clinical experience of the guideline development group
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see "Major Recommendations").
Improved prevention, diagnosis, investigation, treatment and management of bronchiolitis in infants 12 months or younger
This guideline is not intended to be construed or to serve as a standard of care. Standards of care are determined on the basis of all clinical data available for an individual case and are subject to change as scientific knowledge and technology advance and patterns of care evolve. Adherence to guideline recommendations will not ensure a successful outcome in every case, nor should they be construed as including all proper methods of care or excluding other acceptable methods of care aimed at the same results. The ultimate judgement must be made by the appropriate healthcare professional(s) responsible for clinical decisions regarding a particular clinical procedure or treatment plan. This judgement should only be arrived at following discussion of the options with the patient, covering the diagnostic and treatment choices available. It is, however, advised that significant departures from the national guideline or any local guidelines derived from it should be fully documented in the patient's case notes at the time the relevant decision is taken.
Implementation of national clinical guidelines is the responsibility of each National Health Service (NHS) Board and is an essential part of clinical governance. It is acknowledged that every Board cannot implement every guideline immediately on publication, but mechanisms should be in place to ensure that the care provided is reviewed against the guideline recommendations and the reasons for any differences assessed and, where appropriate, addressed. These discussions should involve both clinical staff and management. Local arrangements may then be made to implement the national guideline in individual hospitals, units and practices, and to monitor compliance. This may be done by a variety of means including patient-specific reminders, continuing education and training, and clinical audit.
Key points for audit are identified in the original guideline document.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

Saudi Arabia Accuses Israeli Bird of Espionage
Its tag would logically suggest that the bird was involved in an innocent academic research project on, say, migration patterns. But many in Saudi Arabia think otherwise. Local residents are openly suspecting that the animal could be part of an elaborate "Zionist plot" against the country, while Iran's Tabnak news agency went so far as to claim that the incident "leaves no doubt that other birds are going to be sent by the Zionist regime for espionage against Saudi Arabia and other countries." The detained bird, like any good spy, had no comment.

November 28, 2014
Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Monta Ellis added 23 and the Dallas Mavericks sent the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans to their fourth straight loss, 107-90 on Friday night.
Vince Carter added 14 points and Jae Crowder 12 for Dallas, which never trailed. The Mavericks led by as many as 23 points in the third quarter before cruising against a Pelicans squad minus starting point guard Jrue Holiday and leading scorer Ryan Anderson.
Holiday missed his first game with a stress fracture in his right shin. Anderson went down last week with a herniated desk.
Eric Gordon scored 27 points for New Orleans, while Anthony Davis added 21 points and 13 rebounds.
That wasn't nearly enough to keep pace with the Mavs, who hit 14 of 28 3-point shots.

Manage risk and data exposure in a bring-your-own-device age
Outside the Firewall
If we are indeed moving to a post-PC world, then how exactly will data be accessed? A new commercial venture of a popular open source project shows one path to this future.
Earlier this year, the CEO of a popular tech company made a great deal of noise about "the post-PC" world. Naturally, it was in his best interests to make such hoopla, as he was promoting a new tablet device. "Post-PC" is an interesting concept: It invokes images of a world in which we are all connected to all the information we could ever want or need through the use of devices that will seemingly know what we need before we do.

Busy budget sessions
County officials will be busy this week with work sessions on the budget.
Sessions are planned on Monday and Thursday, and both begin at 5:30 p.m. Monday's session is at King George Fire and Rescue's Co. 1 headquarters and will include an update on the redistricting process as well. Thursday's session is in the board room of the Revercomb Administration Center.
Constitutional officers are expected to present their budgets this week, and County Administrator Travis Quesenberry will offer his proposal for 2011–2012. Quesenberry's proposal does not give raises to county workers, but includes information on the cost of various increases, including one-time bonuses. Meanwhile, the School Board's proposal does include a 2-percent raise for school workers, but the school budget has not been approved by the Board of Supervisors.

"Harry Potter" fans will be delighted to hear that unpleasant aunt Petunia Dursley, played by Fiona Shaw, is set to join the cast of "True Blood".
The Irish actress will appear in season four and will play Marnie, a medium and palm reader described as "mousy, timid and secretly self-loathing."
Shaw's character appears in the fourth book of "The Southern Chronicles" on which the series is based. The original character was supposed to be younger but the profile was changed to fit Shaw.
Originally from Cork, Shaw has been awarded several accolades for both her theater and film performances.
"True Blood" is a HBO television drama series which depicts the co-existence of vampires and humans. The fourth series starring Shaw, is expected to debut next summer.
The Irish actress is currently starring in in 'John Gabriel Borkman' at the Abbey Theater in Dublin.

Balsamic-Roasted Shallots
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe is very easily doubled. Don't fret too much about getting the measurements perfect, either; this is the kind of recipe that begs for a bit of this, a dash of that.
Serve it as a side with dinner, on a sandwich, or underneath a fat ball of burrata. - Kenzi Wilbur
Serves 4 to 6
- 1 pound shallots, the larger ones halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- A three-finger pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon thyme, finely chopped, plus a few whole sprigs
- 2 tablespoons sherry
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- Heat oven to 400° F.
- Put olive oil in an ovenproof skillet. (Alternatively, you can brown the shallots in whatever pan you like, and then transfer them into a baking dish).
- Add the brown sugar, mix to just combine, then add shallots, cut-side down if you've halved any. Brown over medium heat for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or as soon as a beautiful brown crust has developed on the first side.
- Take the pan off of the heat, and add everything else -- salt, thyme, sherry, vinegar -- shake the pan a bit, and then cover with foil and roast in the oven until completely cooked through. Depending on the size of your shallots, this can take anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes -- test with a knife every 5 minutes beginning at the 25-minute mark.
- Serve warm.

Dotcom ads pulled by MediaworksJanuary 17 - 10am
Kim Dotcom says advertisements for his new Mega file-locker service have been pulled by Mediaworks, just days before the expected launch.
Taking to Twitter to break the news, the Megaupload founder accused music labels of issuing complaints to Mediaworks about the campaign, resulting in the cancellation of over 500 ads.
"Unfortunately Mediaworks pulled the plug on our radio ad campaign ," Dotcom said.
"Apparently some music labels complained to Mediaworks about our radio ads.
"Booked of over 500 ad plays terminated. Wow!!
"Not blaming Mediaworks. They are a great company with great people.
"It's the music labels that are abusing their power, again."
As Mediaworks claimed "commercial reasons" for the termination, Dotcom again took to the social network site to tout new business, tweeting:
"If non-Mediaworks radio stations would like to play our ads pls contact email@example.com with your terms. We'll send you the MP3′s. #ASAP."
Dotcom has promised an event "like no other" for the upcoming Mega launch, scheduled to take place on January 20, marking the year anniversary since the police raid on his mansion.
Were Mediaworks correct to pull Dotcom's advertisements? Tell us your thoughts below

The first Republican debate was like a first date, with the presidential candidates behaving politely and saying things they could all agree on, like "Ronald Reagan and tax cuts are great, don't you think?" But by the second debate, it's clear these guys aren't relationship material. Here are some highlights, including Rudy Giuliani attacking Ron Paul for making sense.
