The post Ingredient in Popular Indian Spice May Slow Mesothelioma appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
When it comes to cancer and other serious illnesses, though, patients are cautioned about dietary claims that a certain food will cure or slow a disease. A visit with a nutritionist is a much better idea to ensure the diet is well-rounded and includes nutrients to strengthen weakened immune systems.
But now, researchers in U.S. and German universities say curcumin, which comes from the spice turmeric, contains a peptide that slows the progression of mesothelioma. Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma. Mesothelioma attorney Joseph Belluck says that any medical breakthrough is important when it comes to cancer. Although we don't have a cure for mesothelioma, we have new information studied by doctors, such as the study of turmeric.
Turmeric is used throughout Asia and is prominent in Indian food. At this point, though, evidence that consuming it will slow the disease is thin at best. But can it be restructured for this, perhaps in a future medication?
Mesothelioma and other cancers are often triggered by the protein and transcription factor STAT3, which sends messages to start and continue the cancer's growth. PIAS3, a protein inhibitor, or peptide, is a very effective agent against STAT3. And, according to researchers, it is found in curcumin. "We must develop a curcumin analog that is absorbable by the human body," Afshin Dowlati, MD, Professor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Science Daily reports. "Currently, curcumin ingested as the spice turmeric has practically no absorption within the gut."
Dowlati, who is the senior author of a report that will be published October 10 in Clinical Cancer Research, and colleagues at Georg-Speyer Haus in Frankfurt, Germany, looked at tissue samples from mesothelioma solid tumors removed from patients in different parts of the US. Each sample contained information about how long the patient lived with the disease and the type of mesothelioma.
Patients with low PIAS3 peptides had active STAT3 and were more likely to die sooner. But those with high PIAS3 levels were 44 percent more likely to live another year, "which is substantial," Dowlati says in a Case Western press release.
The researchers conclude that curcumin and PIAS3 peptides raised PIAS3 levels, which lowered STAT3 activity and caused mesothelioma cells to die, a finding that can lead to clinical trials.
The study also shows that PIAS3 may be a reliable indicator of mesothelioma progression. Mesothelioma tumors rarely progress the same way as other ones, making it hard to predict what twists and turns patients and physicians can anticipate.
"PIAS3 activation could become a therapeutic strategy," Dowlati theorizes. "Our findings beg the question of what role [it] could play in limiting STAT3 activation in other cancers as well."

The post New Jersey Medical Malpractice Ruling Upholds Hospital Investigation Confidentiality appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
The court's Sept. 29 decision could potentially impact other medical malpractice cases across the country, including in Indiana.
The baby's parents demanded access to internal documents spelling out mistakes that were made that led to the baby suffering seizure disorder in May 2007. However, the court upheld the confidentiality claim of Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J.
A trial court judge had previously ruled in favor of the hospital, according to an NJ.com article published Sept. 30, on the basis that the internal memos were protected under a 2004 law known as the Patient Safety Act. The law allows hospital personnel to freely discuss mistakes without fear of recrimination in an effort to prevent errors from recurring.
The parents' medical malpractice attorneys appealed the trial court judge's decision. They argued on appeal that the hospital was not protected under the Act because it had not performed its internal investigation in accordance with rules the state health department enacted in 2008.
Valley Hospital argued that it could not be in violation of a rule that wasn't in effect at the time the 2007 investigation took place. That argument ultimately proved successful.
Supporters of the Act told the website they believed the New Jersey Supreme Court made the right decision. They said the law was never intended to protect doctors and hospitals from liability. Patients and family members are still able to subpoena other types of records, and can also attempt to compel doctors and other professionals who participate in confidential investigations to testify in medical malpractice cases.
The Indiana Medical Malpractice Act specifies that a panel of healthcare professionals must review any sort of malpractice claim before it can be filed in court. The panel issues an opinion on whether enough evidence exists to show that either the medical facility or its staff members did not provide the correct standard of care. Once the report is filed, it can be admitted in court but it is not binding.
Indiana's Hospital Medical Error Reporting Rule states that hospitals are required to implement a process that details the occurrence of several types of "reportable events." These include surgery performed on the wrong body part or the wrong patient, death or disability due to contaminated drugs or devices, and many others. These reports, according to the rule, "shall be used by the department for purposes of public reporting the type and number of reportable events occurring within each hospital."
The Indiana Code states that medical staff committee members conducting retrospective reviews are immune from civil liability in regard to their deliberations. (Section 16-21-2-8.) However, confidential records and proceedings "may be produced on court order in a cause in which the records and proceedings are relevant or material."
It remains to be seen what effect, if any, the New Jersey ruling will have on medical malpractice cases in Indiana and throughout the country.

The post 3D Printing: The Future of Medicine is Here appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
The obvious advantage to using 3D technology to print human bone replacements is that the procedure itself allows for the bone's internal structure to be mimicked in a way that makes the replacement part as resilient and light as the original. The bone can can also be printed to perfectly match the break. Additionally, since 3D body parts that are made from titanium or the patient's own cell tissue will not cause adverse allergic reactions, they will not be rejected by the body. This technology is being used in hospitals and research centers around the world, from Italy to the Netherlands, and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland even has its own 3-D Medical Applications Center devoted to everything from orthopedics to dentistry and craniofacial reconstruction.
As recently as 2012, spinal implants were in the clinical trial stage at Peking University in Beijing where surgeons implanted 3D-printed titanium spinal implants into 50 patients. One year later, team leader, Dr. Liu Zhongjun, reported that all of their trial patients had recovered well with no "undesirable side effects or adverse reactions", according to an article posted at www.engineering.com. Fast forward to August 2014 and Dr. Zhongjun and his team have successfully implanted the first 3D-printed spine vertebrae into a 12-yr old boy suffering from Ewing's sarcoma, a type of rare bone cancer. Medical advancements have sure come a long way, but researchers aren't finished yet.
In April 2013, Organovo, a company that designs "functional human tissue", produced 3D human liver tissue that retained its function for more than five days. Just six months later, in October 2013, Organovo issued a press release indicating that they were able to extend that timeframe to 40 days. In a period of only six months, Organovo increased the functional longevity of their 3D-printed liver tissue by an astonishing 800%.
Researchers from Harvard University and Sydney, Australia have collaborated on a medical breakthrough that just may lead the way toward the printing of fully functional 3D organs. They have developed nutrient and oxygen-delivering capillaries using the 3D printing process. These tiny vessels allow 3D organs to excrete waste, which, along with the nutrients and oxygen, will allow the organ cells to grow and thrive. Researchers believe that full-sized, fully functioning human organs may be years away from being a reality, however, given the accelerated pace of the research done by Organovo, Harvard and Sydney, among others, the timetable may be overly cautious.
Organ donor lists may one day be a thing of the past, which is lifesaving news for the more than 100,000 people who are on the list at any given time in the United States alone. What researchers have been able to accomplish already, though, is astonishing. 3D printed body parts is a futuristic concept that may leave some people feeling a bit uneasy. However, for those whose health and lives have and will be positively impacted, the future of medicine couldn't have come soon enough.

The post Can a Black Box Prevent Surgical Errors? appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
Reducing the rate of surgical errors is an important cause. A 2012 study from Johns Hopkins University found that such mistakes, known as "never events", happen at least 4,000 times each year. These mistakes include wrong site surgeries, performing the wrong procedure and leaving foreign objects behind in a patient. By helping medical professionals to understand why these seemingly simple mistakes happen, a black box could help surgeons reduce their occurrence.
HealthCanal.com reports that Dr. Teodor Grancharov, who specializes in minimally invasive surgical procedures, developed the box where he works at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. Up to this point, the device has been tested at the facility and two additional hospitals in Denmark.
It is about the size of a cable box. The device records everything that goes on in the operating room much like a black box on an airplane records everything that goes on in the cockpit.
The device captures any video from scopes inserted into the body. It also captures the room temperature, patient vitals, decibel levels and conversations among different healthcare workers in the operating room.
For now, the device works only for minimally invasive procedures such as those using small laparoscopic incisions. However, the hope is that its use will be expanded to a wider range of surgical procedures.
The goal is to have a documented account of everything that takes place during a surgery. Understanding where errors happen can help doctors and hospitals prevent additional mistakes and develop training and education.
Dr. Grantcharov says that developers of the black box are looking for performance issues. For example, did a surgeon apply an incorrect technique during an operation? They are also looking at "less tangible" factors that can contribute to surgical errors such as miscommunication between members of the operating team.
In addition to providing surgeons and hospital officials with information on how to improve patient safety, such devices could give medical malpractice victims important evidence of negligence if a mistake results in serious personal harm.
While the development of a black box for surgical procedures is a promising advance in patient safety, it may be a long time before such a device is widely used and its benefits are realized in terms of preventing surgical errors.
For now, if you are undergoing surgery, you can take steps to help protect yourself. The Joint Commission (pdf), an organization that accredits healthcare agencies and promotes patient safety, offers the following tips for patients:
The outcome of a surgery may not be your responsibility but rather that of the surgeon and team attending to you. Still, speak up if you have questions and hold your healthcare providers accountable for any errors or problems you may experience.

The post Recognizing Food Poisoning appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
Food poisoning is very common and happens to people not only here in the US but throughout the entire world. Depending on the type of food poisoning one gets, people even die from it.
There are more than 250 diseases that can cause this type of poisoning but the most common cause is simple bacteria. Here is a look at some of the most common ones.
This bacteria causes one to have acute and sometimes bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping or pain, nausea, vomiting, fever and malaise. People get this bacteria from contaminated food, milk that is not pasteurized and from pets or other animals. More serious conditions such as nerve and brain problems as well as arthritis have occurred after the initial symptoms. This is rare though.
Salmonella is another bacterial infection but we here about this one more often. It generally comes from eating raw or undercooked poultry products or unpasteurized milk but sometimes it can also come from the people preparing the food. Any time food is prepared on the same surfaces that uncooked poultry has been prepared on without the surface having been sterilized first may become tainted with Salmonella.
Some of the symptoms of this type of food poisoning are fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and sometimes vomiting although there are cases where people become carriers but not sick. Salmonella poisoning can also result in a condition called Reiter's Syndrome which can have symptoms such as pain in the joints, irritation to the eyes and painful urination.
Shigella is one of the more nasty bacteria as it comes from feces. This is why washing your hands after using the restroom is so very important. Symptoms of this type of food poisoning include fever, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and cramps.
E. coli O157:H7
This is another one that we frequently hear about. According to WebMD each year there are roughly 73,000 cases of this type of food poisoning each year in the US. Causes for this bacteria are things like beef that is not fully cooked or milk that has not been pasteurized. If someone swims in or drinks water that has been contaminated by sewage they can get this type of poisoning.
E. coli poisoning can present as abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea but also non-bloody diarrhea is present. Infected people may have a fever too. Alternately, there may be not any symptoms at all.
Very rarely this type of food poisoning leads to a condition called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome which is a medical emergency. This condition causes the red blood cells to be killed as well as kidney failure. It can cause death if not treated promptly.
Food poisoning is something that can and probably will affect most of us at least once whether we exhibit symptoms or not. Most of the time, the effects will go away on their own within 3 – 5 days. If it is a serious case, then there may be lasting effects and even death. If you think you have gotten food poisoning, see a doctor now.

The post A known risk of treatment does not necessarily negate medical malpractice liability appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
Because most medical procedures and treatments involve some risk a doctor or other healthcare worker has a responsibility to let the patient know about such risk. This allows the patient to make a decision as to whether or not to undergo that procedure or course of treatment. Such consent it typically given by the patient in writing. However, in emergent cases where physicians must act immediately to save the patient's life, the law allows them to do so without first obtaining informed consent.
In 2004 Vickie Tatlock was admitted to Bloomington Hospital with a serious heart condition. Tatlock's condition required a procedure called an angioplasty. There was no issue concerning informed consent, and Dr. James Faris performed the procedure. A known risk of angioplasty is that a coronary artery may be perforated. That is what happened to Tatlock. A perforation of a coronary artery increases the risk for cardiac tamponade, which is a dangerous condition that develops when too much fluid builds up in the sac in which the heart is enclosed, causing pressure on the heart. Thus, when an artery is perforated, the patient must be watched closely.
Dr. Faris failed to watch Tatlock closely and instead tended to another patient. Furthermore, Dr. Faris did not request that another physician check in on Tatlock. Tatlock did suffer a cardiac tamponade, her condition steadily deteriorated, and she eventually died. Tatlock was just 49 years old. Tatlock's husband and son sued Dr. Faris. The case finally came to verdict in October 2013 with the jury awarding the plaintiffs over $5 million in damages. In this case Tatlock consented to the angioplasty knowing that a perforated artery was a risk. However, when Tatlock did suffer the perforated artery, Dr. Faris and the hospital staff had a duty to follow accepted medical practice to treat the condition. Since Dr. Faris failed to do so he was liable for medical malpractice. The type of malpractice that Faris committed was not that he failed to warn Tatlock, but that in treating Tatlock Faris failed to meet the appropriate standard of care.
While informed consent is indeed necessary to ensure that the patient understands the risks associated with a treatment or procedure and to protect the physician from legal liability, in reality is such consent given freely in cases where the alternative is the worsening of a condition or even death?

The post Winter Injuries: Preparing for Your Surgery appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
When many patients meet with their doctor or anesthesiologist to discuss their concerns about an upcoming surgery, anesthesia awareness might be a big topic of conversation. Anesthesia awareness occurs when the patient regains wakes up briefly (or in some cases for a longer period of time) and sees, feels, or hears parts of the surgery. In extreme cases, some patients are wide awake during the whole length of the surgery and can feel the procedure, but due to the paralyzing effects of the anesthesia, they are unable to move or communicate to the medical staff that they are awake. Fortunately, anesthesia awareness is rare, but there are other complications related to anesthesia that are more likely to occur during a surgery. Before your surgery, it's vital to discuss your medical history and any pre-existing conditions that may put you at greater risk for an anesthesia error. While it's a surgeon and anesthesiologist's responsibility to keep you safe and alive during surgery, you are responsible for sharing any known health conditions or history before your surgery. Serious anesthesia complications include:
- Mental confusion and memory issues
- Lung Infections
- Stroke
- Heart Attack
- Death
You are more likely to have such complications if you are overweight, have a history of alcohol or drug use, are diabetic, have high blood pressure, or have other serious or pre-existing health conditions. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to your health during your recovery because in some post-op cases, patients have been known to react to a general anesthesia days or weeks after the surgery.
Going under the knife can be scary and it's often difficult to put control into other people's hands. Before you finalize a decision to have a surgical procedure, you have the right to ask for a second opinion. You also have the right to find a surgeon whom you trust and while it may be difficult, you should be able to do some research on their background (i.e. medical malpractice). Surgery is meant to improve the quality of your life. Would you rather go under the knife, internalizing all of the "what if's" or would you rather have a frank and informative discussion with your doctor about any errors that may occur?

The post The Worst Nursing Home Horror Stories appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
Unfortunately nursing home neglect and injuries are more common than we think. Read below for some of the worst stories we have heard.
The first memory I have is of my mother's mother – my Gigi. I didn't realize until I was in my 20′s that Gigi was actually "G.G." for "great-grandmother." She was just my Gigi. The memory is of sitting on her lap in her living room. It was dark, as always, since she didn't want to waste electricity by having the room too bright.
I could feel the bones of her legs under mine through my green corduroy pants and her faded wool skirt. She smelled of moth balls and chicken soup. Knowing Gigi, she had probably dabbed a bit of both behind her ears. She was reading a book to me; a book she was holding with her thin, almost translucent hands.
Those hands were so delicate and yet so strong. With them she had raised 8 kids, battled the Great Depression, grieved with the country with the Kennedy's were assassinated and listened to Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Those hands, covered with dark spots the size of quarters, whose edges almost overlapped until there was more dark than light in places. Those hands, with rivers of dark blue running in relief, like a 3D map of her life. Those hands that could no longer stay still. Those hands that had soothed and punished her three boys and five girls. Those hands that could no longer take care of her. Gigi started calling me by my mom's name, by my aunt's name … sometimes even by her dead sister's name. Then Gigi couldn't drive anymore. Then Gigi couldn't remember where she lived or if she'd taken her medicine or what year it was. Gigi came to live with us for a while, but she left the gas burner on once and started a kitchen fire. Then she went for a walk in the middle of the night and the police from two towns over brought her back.
Shortly after that, Gigi moved into a nursing home. When I was old enough to drive, I would go to see Gigi after school. She was almost always asleep when I arrived, but would perk up as if she had been napping to get extra strength to visit with me. One time, I walked in to find her room smelling of urine. I asked if she was OK and she confessed that she'd had an "accident" and pointed to the panties draped over a lamp. I ignored the accident bit – I'm sure she was embarrassed enough – but just had to tell her that it wasn't a good idea to hang anything flammable from a heat source.
While I never saw anything as bad as the nursing home horror stories on the news, I know something about nursing home neglect. My poor Gigi, who was such a strong and confident woman, became a shell. The lost nearly 40 pounds that she didn't have to spare. She always said she wasn't hungry, but managed to eat if I fed her. I asked the staff several times if they couldn't please make it a point to have someone help her eat at least once a day. I was always told that they did the best they could and Gigi was eating as she should. I know that wasn't true. In the end, Gigi had less than 90 pounds on her 5'8" frame. She died of "natural causes" but I knew that wasn't true. She died for lack of attention, nutrition and entertainment. She died of boredom and starvation. She died of embarrassment because she was too strong to ask for help eating.
Not the Worst Nursing Home Horror Stories … But Not Good Enough
I'm glad that Gigi didn't die of exposure like the poor man in Oak Lawn, IL. Nor did she ever have sores untended so long that they developed maggots. What she also didn't have was someone that took care of her on a consistent basis, someone that was held accountable for Gigi's status. I did the best I could to take care of Gigi while my mom worked 3 jobs to take care of me. I wish I had been able to do more for Gigi. I know that if it ever comes to the point when my mom needs more help than I can give, I'll hire home health nurses or do whatever I have to do to make sure I don't lose Mom like I lost Gigi to nursing home neglect.

The post 5 Tips for a More Organized Medicine Cabinet appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
First Things First
Start from scratch and clear out the entire medicine cabinet. Throw away anything that is damaged, useless, and most importantly, expired. This article from the Food and Drug Administration talks about the dangers of taking expired prescription drugs.
Next, clean the shelves with disinfectant wipes or a sponge and disinfectant spray. If you are able to remove the shelves, take them out, wash them in soap and water, and thoroughly dry before replacing.
Maximize Space
If your medicine cabinet shelves are adjustable, move them up to create more room for the tallest items, such as cologne, hair gels, and toothbrushes and toothpaste. Putting your toothbrush behind a closed door is more sanitary than leaving it out on the counter.
Another great way to maximize space is to invest a few dollars in mini risers. They add an extra shelf to the medicine cabinet, which allows you to neatly store more items.
Location, Location, Location
As you return the items to the medicine cabinet, pay attention to where they go. Anything you don't use often should be placed on the top shelf, or even in another cabinet. For example, how often do you really use hydrogen peroxide? Save the lower shelve(s) for everyday items.
Think Small and Consolidate
Anything you buy in bulk, such as cotton balls, should be moved to smaller containers with the big bags being stored separately. Place the items in uniform clear jars for ease of identification, place them in the medicine cabinet, and refill as needed. This prevents everything from tumbling out of the medicine cabinet every time you open the door. If it's feasible, do the same thing with liquids, like hair gel.
When it comes to items that are already small, consider consolidating them into a single clear jar. For example, group together your lip balm, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. That way, nothing will roll out of the medicine cabinet, but you can still easily retrieve the items.
Common Themes
To make it easier to find everything once it's all been organized, group things together by category. All of your makeup should have its own area, as should all of your first aid supplies, medicines, hygiene products, and so on. That way, when you open the medicine cabinet looking for something, you don't have to move everything around (disorganizing it again!) just to find it.
Keeping an organized medicine cabinet can save you time and help you avoid frustration. It can also serve as a reminder to keep track of the dates on your medications, so you can throw them out once they're expired. If you need to get rid of old medication, but don't know how to safely dispose of it, read this article from the FDA, because while it is important to dispose of expired medication, it's also important to do it properly.

The post Ways to Prepare for Surgery appeared first on Medical Directions.]]>
The most important thing you can do for yourself prior to having any surgical procedure, is to organize your life so that it's easier on you once you get home. Here are a few items to put on your checklist.
All of these tips are aimed at helping you not only prepare for surgery, but also prepare for recovery. The easier you make it on yourself the quicker you will recover. Outside of organizing your friends and family, as well as your home and finances, there are many other things that you can do to help yourself prepare.Click here for an informative slideshow presented by WebMD. It offers valuable tips on preparing for surgery, as well as what to expect during and after surgery.
Regardless of how well prepared you are before heading into surgery, you'll likely experience some measure of anxiety. Here is a great resource from eHow.com about how to mentally and emotionally prepare for surgery.
The biggest question that can't be answered, of course, is 'will something go wrong?' After all, you will be under anesthesia, and that's a scary proposition for many people. While there is no way to ensure that nothing will go wrong, it's critical that you know about the possibilities of anesthesia errors, if only to be informed. Education is one way to help alleviate your anxiety in that regard. Information on how anesthesia is administered, as well as potential errors related to its administration are available plentifully. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask your doctor or anesthesiologist before the surgery.

Really warm and great colour These were a present for my girlfriend. She loved the colour and the cuff makes a great seal at the end of the sleeve. Fabric inside is really warm and soft. 18 November 2014
Be seen! And cosy! Brilliant piece of kit! i dont go out without these on now! The pink is very neon!!! be warned.. but if you want to be seen these are for you..im wearing mine under jerseys/jackets now..dont even feel like i have them on..totally recommend 08 November 2014
strong but nice stretch great quality and finishing and really comfortable. I think the pink is arguably more visible than fluorescent green. 07 November 2014
Cheap, Pink and fairly warm They're an outrageous Rapha Pink (tm) and are pretty cheap. Really like the black elastic cuff. The shape doesn't suit me well, they're trapezoidal, so the top of the arm does slide down occasionally.. So if you haven't got massive guns, you may want to look at elsewhere. But if you haven't got massive guns I'm not sure why you'd be looking at Rapha Pink (tm) arm warmers to start with? Rapha paradox? So on the whole, pretty chuffed with the purchase. 21 October 2014
Very warm Got these for the autumn commute, very warm and snuggly and really high vis. 05 October 2014
good colour choices, can be seen a mile off on dar keep the arms lovely and toasty on cooler mornings, had been procrastinating for ages about getting some, wish I'd done it sooner 09 September 2014
These look amazing! I ordered these purely for the colour, it's amazing! They are good for warmth though. They are long in the arm but grip well. 01 July 2014
Lovely bright colour and very versatile After wearing these for only one longish ride I am hooked. The day-glo pink is bright and attention grabbing. Sometimes high vis is not very attractive, not so with these arm warmers which stand out to traffic but look good at the same time. The warmth factor is great. They keep out the chill first thing and then when things hot up you can either roll them down to your wrist or take them off completely and stash them in your jersey pocket. Love them! 08 June 2014
Cheers up a winter's ride Good value. Good comments about the high vis colour out in the bush on my mtn bike. Wore on a cold, wet day riding and they kept me warm under a light rain jacket.The wide wrist band is really good. I bought small, I'm about a size 10 (Aus), and this is a snug fit, held grip at top of arms. 30 May 2014
bright and light, cosy and warm, perfect for being seen 16 May 2014
Great brightly coloured arm warmers. I like how I am more visible to other road users. The gel band around the top is not very comfortable if I want to wear them while running though. 20 April 2014
Best arm warmers Really warm & comfy AND you can be seen! Best arm warmers yet. 09 April 2014
Great looks, but a bit tight Good quality , but they are a bit tight and not very stretchy, so go for one size larger. 03 April 2014
Put on your shades Our club kit has pink in it so these seemed a sensible addition. Now realise that there is pink and there is PINK. In murky conditions all you can see are riders arms glowing gently in the gloom. Not sure how the level of brightness is achieved but think walking by a geiger counter might freak me out. Good fit, just the right level of warmth, good quality. Happy with the price. Very good visibility - the word 'neon' needs underlining. Make sure you put your dark glasses on before opening the box they arrive in. 13 March 2014

If Washington were about to kill the stock market and destroy the nation's pristine credit rating, Goldman Sachs would not allow Twitter to go public.
Goldman Sachs has better information than almost anyone, the result of powerful databases and a robust social network that keeps it tapped into the market's vitals. It is likely that a social-networking service that lets people post terse messages of 140 characters or less will be a hot, oversubscribed stock offering that mints many millionaires, and possibly a few billionaires.
That Twitter's offering document was filed as congressional dithering over the budget threatens the markets is perhaps the best summing up of the bullish forces beneath the stock market's surface.
This bullish activity is occurring far from the reactionary radars of the many public pundits palavering about an ignominious end to a rally that has lifted the Standard & Poor's 500 index some 20% this year. Many stocks are up even more than the index.
To be sure, it is possible that Congress will push the U.S. government to default on its debt, and the consequences would be catastrophic, but footprints in the options and stock market indicate that sophisticated investors are sanguine.
Correlation among stocks, a measure of risk, is low, even though earnings season is nigh and companies are once more expected to have difficulty posting meaningful revenue growth. Still, investors are buying stocks and calls while sprinkling cash in a variety of portfolio hedges, just in case congressional bickering harms the nation and the financial markets. The belief is that the Bernanke Put trumps all.
Relative value strategies are now popular, since the trade shorting Treasuries and buying the Standard & Poor's 500 has mostly ended. Investors are buying stocks that have lagged or outperformed the sector. JPMorgan's strategists, for example, are advising clients to buy Bank of America BAC -0.4091174751607247% Bank of America Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD17.04 -0.07 -0.4091174751607247% /Date(1417207635309-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 23789467 AFTER HOURS USD17.02 -0.02 -0.11737089201877934% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4045458 P/E Ratio 39.627906976744185 Market Cap 179936469260.529 Dividend Yield 1.1737089201877935% Rev. per Employee 404992 More quote details and news » (BAC) and short Fifth Third FITB -0.8378511582060129% Fifth Third Bancorp U.S.: Nasdaq USD20.12 -0.17 -0.8378511582060129% /Date(1417203498999-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2207880 P/E Ratio 11.976190476190476 Market Cap 16719103170.7828 Dividend Yield 2.584493041749503% Rev. per Employee 312764 More quote details and news » (FITB) and BB&T BBT -0.8179419525065963% BB&T Corp.

Across the market, the implied volatility of bullish call options is often increasing. In some instances, call volatility is unusually high. Consider Apple AAPL -0.058823529411764705% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD118.93 -0.07 -0.058823529411764705% /Date(1417207753384-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 24031749 AFTER HOURS USD118.83 -0.1 -0.08408307407718826% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 18.369553465239484 Market Cap 697915941406.25 Dividend Yield 1.5807617926511393% Rev. per Employee 1969180 More quote details and news » (AAPL) and Facebook FB 0.1030662200463798% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD77.7 0.08 0.1030662200463798% /Date(1417207779681-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 15659931 AFTER HOURS USD77.65 -0.05 -0.06435006435006435% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 71.94444444444444 Market Cap 216392746298.421 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1767400 More quote details and news » (FB). That call volatility is rising as Congress dithers is a strong indication of bullish sentiment. If investors were worried, bearish put volatility would increase. In fact, a key measure of investor fear about owning stocks, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, remains relatively muted at about 17, a solid distance from the 20-level that many investors believe divides bull and bear stock markets.
CORRELATION, WHICH MEASURES the synchronicity of stocks, declined in the past week for all but two of 10 Standard & Poor's 500 index sectors. Materials and utilities correlation did not decline, according to Goldman Sachs' research. The two sectors that declined the most: financials and energy. When investors are afraid of macro-market risks, correlation rises. A popular interpretation of low correlation is that Wall Street thinks Congress will blink in the budget stalemate with the White House over health care, and stocks will rally.
Some big investors have strong conviction about this. On Thursday, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off as much as 160 points, Credit Suisse reported that a client bought 60,000 October 14 VIX puts in that session—a bet that S&P 500 index volatility will collapse, which would occur if the index advanced.
And so, dear readers, this is how the smart money is positing itself, even though it is October, one of the market's most volatile months. If Congress blinks, much money will be made. If not, a lot of people will lose a lot of money in less time than it will take for rating agencies to lower the U.S.' debt rating.

The Hunt of My Lifetime (So Far)
I decided to drive from Central Texas to Southwest Oregon for the hunt because there was so much that I wanted to see firsthand. Driving that far (and back) was exhausting, but it was completely worth it. Flying there would have greatly diminished my trip and I thought about what was missed when people call it "fly over country". I saw things and places that I had only seen in pictures and as Robert Frost said in The Road Less Traveled, "that has made all the difference".
The first stop, after a 13 hour drive, was Colorado Springs, CO. I had built in a day there to see another old Army Brother that I had not seen in forever. Seeing my Brother Craig (Kegger) and being able to talk with him in person and spend time with him was worth the trip itself and left me wondering why we let life get so busy that the years apart grew to be so many. That is not a mistake I'll make again. We spent the day going up to the top of the world on Pikes Peak and I experienced a real "Colorado Rocky Mountain High" in the extremely thin air at 14,110 feet. Kegger advised me to move slowly and take breaks and I followed that advice, but still sat there on breaks grinning like an idiot at what I was seeing and feeling. Amazing, incredible and fantastic. Later that day I got to meet a friend that I had come to know through Facebook and he is a founding member of the MOG page there. Meeting Dale from Pikes Peak Armory and his two little PPA helpers was a real treat for me and one I that I hope to recreate many times in the future.
Leaving Colorado Springs, I headed North to Denver where I had always wanted to take Interstate 70 West from Denver to Utah. What an incredible stretch of Interstate. The Aspen trees were ablaze in bright yellow and were as wonderful as I hoped they'd be. Perfect timing to catch them lit up in all of their Fall glory and they gave the perfect contrast and only served to increase, if possible, the beauty of that stretch of highway.
After a late night stop in Boise, I began the last leg to Brent's house and the start of our hunt. The drive through the high desert of Eastern Oregon surprised me with how much I liked it there and it began the feeling of how much I already loved this State. The high desert slowly transitioned to sparse trees and then to thick forests with huge trees. Picking up the Rogue River as it rapidly cut through the forests and old lava flows leading me downhill completely cemented my love for this amazing State and I followed the river all the way to my bearded Brother's house. To see him and meet his wonderful wife Ali and their daughter Morgan again had me wondering why we let our lives get so busy that the years apart grew to be so many. Again, not a mistake I'll repeat.
The next day we started the hunt, but first there was a quick stop to his friend Dwayne's house to confirm the zero on our rifles. Dwayne had just gotten back from a Moose hunt in Alaska just a few hours before and I apologize for interrupting his outdoor nap in the sun. With the test-fire completed, we headed to the woods for the first afternoon of our bear hunt. The first couple of days in the woods, I struggled to get my Mountain legs back under me. No amount of working out can replicate the effect of walking on rugged terrain with a rucksack on your back and a rifle in your hands. Thankfully, I entered the woods in pretty decent shape, but that proved to be only the base from which to improve and I left the woods each night exhausted to my core (but very, very happy).
The hunt was a mixture of quiet solitude, whispered words and hand signals shared between two Brothers. It was cool and damp mornings with light fog sliding through the valley below us and clinging to the mountains around us. It was the agony of defeat and then the exhilaration of fresh sign followed by the disappointment of a trail lost. It was losing my balance while crossing a dry wash and falling backwards and looking up to see my Buddy silently laughing at me and of me returning the favor 30 seconds later as he face planted heading up hill. It was us repeating, when things got tough, the encouraging words of "Be the Bear" imparted on us by Ali (it became our mantra). In the end, I left the woods without my tag being filled, but left with incredible pictures, a Blacktail antler shed and the memories of a great hunt shared with my Brother. It was sightseeing when we had time and Elk jerky for breakfast in the woods. It was the best Coconut Cream pie I have ever had in my life….. (make that the best pie I've ever had in my life….no kidding) and the chance to meet some amazing people. It really was the hunt of my lifetime, so far. It has re-instilled in me the love of the hunt and reminded me how much I need the mountains and the time spent in them. The bears and Brent taught me a great deal on this trip and the bears and Brent have made me a better hunter. The bears are still there, but in my best Terminator impression…..I'll be back.
{Special thanks to my Bearded Brother Brent for making the hunt happen and for staying after me all those years to visit Oregon. Big thanks to his wife Ali for tolerating two old Army Buddies and our stories and for her amazing work on getting Brent to walk upright, with his knuckles only occasionally dragging the ground these days. Thanks also to Randy for helping get the hunt set up and for his sage advice and encouragement. Thanks also to Brent's parents for raising such an incredible man of the mountains and for the Coconut Cream pie and the hand crafted cutting board that is more art than not.}

Port Washington officials remained split over a proposed ban on weapons in city buildings Tuesday. "We haven't had weapons in this building for 100 years," Ald. Paul Neumyer said as the Common Council reviewed a proposed ordinance prohibiting weapons in city buildings. "Why would we allow it now?" But Ald. Burt Babcock said weapons should be allowed everywhere or nowhere. "I don't like it when politicians pass laws, then exclude themselves from having to abide by them," he said. "Why is it safe for everyone else to be walking around with weapons, but not here? "If you're going to pass a law allowing concealed carry, you should have it everywhere." Ald. Mike Ehrlich told the council he is struggling with the issue, particularly as it pits safety concerns with constitutional issues. "I do understand how having guns in a public forum like this could hinder debate," he said. "But I haven't been convinced a ban is the right thing." By the time the Common Council votes on the proposed ordinance banning weapons at its Dec. 6 meeting, Ehrlich said he hopes to have reached a conclusion. The state's concealed carry law, which took effect Nov. 1, presumes people can bring weapons into all buildings, but gives municipalities and businesses the opportunity to ban them. To do so, the city must pass an ordinance and post signs at the entrances to its buildings. Aldermen seemed equally as concerned about the potential liability that comes with a ban on weapons as they were about safety, which was the primary concern expressed when they authorized the drafting of the ordinance two weeks ago. The state limits municipal liability to $50,000, City Attorney Eric Eberhardt said. But he warned aldermen that the concealed carry law is evolving rapidly, saying, "This is a very grey area. One question gives rise to three or four others. You can expect some trailer bills to address some of the issues. "Stay tuned." For example, he said, the law allows organizers of special events to ban weapons. But, he added, the many festivals held in Port Washington don't appear to satisfy the requirements for a special event, and thus it appears weapons would be allowed at them. Ald. Dave Larson reiterated his concern that posting signs notifying people that weapons are banned doesn't ensure compliance with the law. "That's my concern, that with the posting of a sign (banning weapons) there's an expectation of safety," he said. "We have to enforce it. Have we talked at all about how we're going to enforce it?" The city should consider installing metal detectors at buildings, or searching people entering the buildings, he said. "You're chairman of the finance and Licence Committee. Is there money in the budget?" Mayor Scott Huebner replied, noting there is none. "There's your answer." Huebner noted that the ban on weapons has been requested by everyone from city employees and department heads to the police chief. It's a particular concern in places where children congregate, he said. "Do you want guns at the pool?" Huebner asked, adding the library board also wants a ban on weapons at the Niederkorn Library. Neumyer, a retired police officer and current sheriff's deputy, said he is particularly concerned that the legislature removed the requirement that people who obtain concealed-carry permits be trained. "We don't need citizenry carrying firearms who haven't been trained," he said, adding law enforcement officers undergo many hours of training before they can carry a gun. "It's foolhardy."
A group of Town of Port Washington residents, frustrated by loud noise from the Briggs & Stratton testing grounds that they said interrupts their life throughout the day and night, asked the Town Board for help Monday night. "Thursday night was the worst it's ever been," one woman said. "I couldn't even sleep in my bed." Connie Pals, 3377 Terry La., compared the noise to a neighbor running a snowthrower at 6 a.m. "During the day, it's fine. Every once in a while, it's fine," she said. "But that's what I get to listen to 24 hours a day, day and night." Pals said she has contacted Briggs & Stratton about the noise, but the company denied causing a problem, saying they don't run engines around the clock. "What is that noise I hear at 2 in the morning?" she asked. "I don't feel like I'm being heard. I'm asking for your help. "I'm thrilled to have them here in the town, but they have to work with me." Former town clerk Katherine Allen, who also lives on Terry Lane, said noise complaints about the testing grounds date back to the mid-1980s. At that time, she said, Simplicity Manufacturing — which was later bought by Briggs & Stratton — agreed to plant trees as a noise barrier. "I thought at one point they weren't going to run their tractors at night or on weekends," she said. "Nothing's changed, and it's worse. It's like an echo in my bedroom, and it's been that way for 25 years. I like to have my windows open in summer and I can't." Lucy Christopoulos, 3280 Hwy. LL, said she hasn't heard a significant amount of noise until recently. "I thought it was the Highway LL bridge coming down," she said. "It's very disturbing." Chuck Hamell, 3271 Bay Hill Rd., told the Town Board that the noise got worse this summer and hasn't let up. "I don't know what they're doing differently," he said, "but it does seem worse. It does seem like it's gotten louder. We can hear it over the air conditioning in summer. It doesn't matter if the house is closed up." Town officials were sympathetic to the residents' plight, with Building Inspector Rick Fellenz noting that town ordinances require that the noise at the lot line not exceed 85 decibels. Town Chairman Jim Melichar said he would talk to the company to try and reach a solution, and also asked that the Plan Commission look at the town ordinances to see if they need to be beefed up to handle the situation. "We don't want to chase them out of the town," he said, but the firm needs to respond to the residents' complaints. "Go talk to them, but we probably should contact our attorney and get him going on that, too," Supr. Jim Rychtik said.
Port Washington residents will likely see a slight decrease in their property taxes next year, aldermen were told Tuesday. The proposed $8.6 million 2012 budget was touted by aldermen, who said it will provide residents with the same quality services at a reduced cost — an achievement in a year when the city lost nearly $167,000 in state aid. "Overall, it's a very good budget in a very tough economic time," Ald. Dave Larson, chairman of the Finance and License Committee, said. Although he does not have the city's assessed valuation yet, City Administrator Mark Grams said he expects the $4.92 million tax levy to be raised through a tax rate of $5.78 per $1,000 valuation, 25 cents per $1,000 less than last year. The owner of a house valued at $200,000 will pay $49.89 less in city taxes this year, he said. However, the city removed its recycling costs from the property tax and added it as a separate charge. Once that is figured in, he said, the net tax bill will be $5.89 less than last year. "It's not a huge decrease, but it is a decrease," Larson said. "In these times, it's a big deal." The biggest reason the city was able to handle the loss in state aid is the fact employees will be paying 5.8% of their retirement costs and 12% of their health insurance premiums, officials said. Police officers are not required under the state's budget-repair law to make these contributions, but they are incorporated into the budget, Grams said, noting they will have to be negotiated in the new police contract. The city is also benefitting from the fact its health insurance premiums are expected to decrease an estimated 3.5% Grams said. The proposed budget eliminates the city's shared-ride taxi service, but that will be replaced by the Ozaukee County taxi, which Larson said should provide similar service to residents. There will be some fee increases next year, Larson said, including those for the pool, senior center and building permits. The city's rates are less than those charged by many other communities, he said. But Mayor Scott Huebner questioned the need to raise rates, saying that if the city is covering its costs it should not boost the fees. "Let's be cautious and not follow the same path as the mediation/arbitration law," which forced communities to boost their contract settlements based on what other municipalities settled for, Huebner said. "We're not looking to match (other communities)," Larson said. "We just want to be at a more responsible lower level." A public hearing on the proposed budget will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15. The Common Council is expected to act on the budget the same night.
Port Washington rescue crews had to fish a 61-year-old Wauwatosa man out of Lake Michigan after he fell from his boat and couldn't get out of the water. Witnesses told police they heard the man fall as he was trying to tie the bow line of his boat about 5:45 p.m. Oct. 23 and called 911, according to authorities. Officers found the man struggling in the water near a sailboat docked south of the launch ramps. Officers could not pull him out, so they held on to the man and used flotation devices to keep his head above water until the Port Washington Fire Department divers arrived. Divers helped lift the man from the water, police said. He was then taken by the Port Washington ambulance to the hospital for treatment. According to witnesses, the man's boat struck a pier while navigating through the marina and preparing to dock, police said. The witnesses saw him dock and tie the stern line of his boat, then heard the splash as he hit the water while trying to tie his bow line. The Department of Natural Resources, which assisted the police department in investigating the incident, cited the man for operating a motor boat while under the influence of intoxicants.
Port Washington residents will no longer pay for recycling through the city's tax levy, the Common Council agreed Tuesday. Instead, the city will place a special charge on tax bills to pay for the service. "The bottom line effect is going to be zero, basically," Ald. Dave Larson, chairman of the Finance and License Committee, said. "For a few people, it's going to be more — and I'm talking about cents more, not dollars. "The only difference is that it will be broken out now." Removing the cost of recycling from the general tax levy and instituting a separate charge for it is a measure being adopted by more and more communities statewide as they struggle to meet every tightening levy limits. Locally, the Village of Saukville has funded both its garbage and recycling programs this way since 2009. It's also a more fair way of paying for recycling, Larson said. The owners of many condominiums, as well as business and industry, who currently pay for recycling through their tax bills but don't receive collection from the city, will save money this way, he noted. "If you're receiving the service, you should pay for it," he said, and if you're not, you shouldn't pay for it. Port Washington households will be charged $44 for recycling. The city has looked at instituting a separate recycling charge in the past, but decided against it. However, with the state cutting aid for the program by $11,000 for 2012, officials said it was time to reconsider the measure. "It makes a lot of sense, especially with the reduction in state aid," Larson said. "I think it's the right thing to do," Ald. Jim Vollmar said.

UNH police chief gives tips on surviving campus shooting
It was a point that he hammered home Wednesday afternoon during a presentation to faculty and staff on surviving an active shooter event on campus.
More than 100 people attended, and a second session has been scheduled for March 19 from 1 to 2:15 p.m.
Dean talked about the "outs," namely, getting out, hiding out or "taking out."
With a campus-wide ban on weapons, including firearms and pepper spray, some staff questioned how they should fight back.
The idea of "taking someone out" is about a mind-set of believing it is OK to attack, whether with a book or backpack or as a group, if the situation were to arise, Dean said.
Dean said, "You have to find a way to protect yourself and do what you can to survive."
Not everyone was pleased with the response.
Professor Jimmy Raeder told Dean he found the information contradictory.
"You can't hide out and take out at the same time," Raeder said. "What are we supposed to do?" He asked Dean to define "whatever it takes."
Dean said that was individual.
Other staff felt the presentation gave them important things to think about, including creating plans for each office and department in the event of an emergency.

Match Fishing – Fish 'O' Mania 2013 Heat Three
Report and results from round three of Fish O Mania 2013 fished at Makin's Fishery, Nuneaton.
With the rise in temperatures during the preceding week the expectations for a really good match at the third Fish 'O' Mania qualifier were high at the draw. Unfortunately the wind strengthened during the day and, at times, was positively frightening. This severely restricted tactics and as a result many anglers were simply unable to get the best out of their pegs and several pole sections became casualties of the ferocious gusts.
Even so over 30lb was needed to win ten of the 13 ten-peg sections and the top six anglers averaged almost 70lb a man.
Top rod was Doncaster's Craig Jones (Marukyu), fishing his first Fish 'O' Mania qualifier, who put a splendid 99lb 8oz on the scales from Peg A13 on Lake 2. Craig only had a dozen fish, the biggest weighing around 15lb, mostly caught on the method feeder fished tight to the island with an odd fish coming to the bomb, with 8mm pellet hookbaits.
Runner up was the ever-consistent Grant Albutt (Dorking), who caught mainly carp to 8lb from peg 21 on Lake 5. Grant caught mostly on both meat and maggots fishing the bomb, and then later on down the margin. Incredibly Granth has finished in second spot in seven qualifiers now, and surely must make it to the grand final soon!
Third with an excellent 74lbs 15oz was 18 year old Adam Logan from Ilkeston. Adam fished meat close in at Lizard peg 29 taking carp to 15lb. Jamie Hughes was fourth with 74lb 10oz at A4 on Lake 2 just a carp ahead of Richard Woodsford who weighed 68lb 6oz further along the same bank at A15.

D.C. telecenters to lose GSA funding
Administrator Martha Johnson said changes in the way people work and the technology they have access to are major reasons why GSA will no longer guarantee a specific number of workers at the area telecenters. GSA remains committed to telework in other ways, including the launch of a new collaboration platform called FedSpace. It also awarded a contract to deploy telepresence at 15 offices around the country.

Many years after these promises were made, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He was born into the family line of King David, but His birth was a miracle because God Himself, through the Holy Spirit, brought it about. A man named John the Baptist announced the arrival of Jesus and pointed to Him as the One who would rescue our rebellious world from sin. Jesus lived His entire life in perfect obedience to God the Father, showing that He was the promised Immanuel -- God in our midst. Read More...

Since founding Nicola's Kitchen in 1990, Kate and John have only expanded their culinary horizons, drawing their Italian-based menu toward shores both distant and near. Today, the chefs cite Californian and Thai flavors among their influences, cultivating a menu that only becomes more inventive and flexible as time passes. Breakfast entrees include red velvet pancakes, rosemary chicken pasta scrambles, and Nicola's signature cinnamon focaccia?a sweet dish made with pizza dough. For lunch and dinner, visitors choose chopped antipasto salads brimming with artichoke, garbonzo beans, Canadian bacon, and provolone; vegetable risotto with pesto-Chardonnay cream sauce; flat iron steak, and cilantro-dotted linguine topped with Thai grilled shrimp.
Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria sates appetites with a slew of handmade pizzas, fresh toppings, and casual Italian fare at 17 Los Angeles–area locations.

Gluten-free and whole-wheat crusts address dietary preferences, and catering service transports piping-hot morsels directly to birthday parties or traffic-court dates. Customers can also pick up a free birthday pizza on the day of their birth.
Let the warm red and gold hues of La Finestra's décor pique your light lunchtime appetite for a Caesar panino with chicken breast, romaine, Caesar dressing, and parmesan cheese ($10) or a cup of handmade pomodore tomato soup with lemon and garlic ($6). La Finestra, Italian for "The Finestra," really excels at dinner fare. As the evening lights of LA simmer, whet your palate with antipasto La Finestra, a platter of imported meats with cheeses, roasted red bell peppers, and marinated calamari ($12, $18 large); or decorate your date-charming chompers with a rustica salad of radicchio, arugula, endive, mushrooms, and shaved parmesan ($7, $10 large). The veal scaloppini marsala comes basted in wine with fresh-chopped tomatoes and mushrooms ($22)—and is hard not to refuse to refuse if you haven't yet refused concurrent offers from the ravioli aurora (stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach and drizzled with pink sauce, $15) and the thin-crusted pizza portofino (with mozzarella, gorgonzola, and caramelized onions, $15). La Finestra's friendly, accommodating staff will do their best to prepare your pizza any way you wish.
At Riviera Calabasas, chefs draw from local, seasonal ingredients to create dishes inspired by Italian, French, and Spanish cuisine. They even add Asian and South American twists. The result is a menu that features recognizable pillars, such as pasta, steaks, and fish, decorated with delicious flourishes. Chefs coat tender fillets of Scottish salmon in a crisp potato crust, garlic-infused lobster sauce, and vegetables that are seasonal—like freezing rain in winter or falling down despite wearing a classy outfit in winter. And Riviera Calabasas brings plenty of class to the table: white linens drape tables, and earth-tone walls reflect the warm yellow light of fixtures hanging over black-and-white booths in the carpeted dining area.
A full bar showcases wines by the glass, imported and domestic beers, cocktails, and cordials, whereas Sunday brunch presents eggs benedict, a pancake bar, french toast, and breakfast pizza. The Riviera Calabasas team doesn't neglect its guests' health concerns, though—its alternate menu catalogs a slate of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options.
