A retired Virginia state trooper faces charges after shots he fired at a coyote hit a school in Tazewell.
Prosecutor Dennis Lee says 69-year-old Jerry McPherson was charged with one count of reckless handling of a firearm, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.
Brian Hieatt of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office says gunshots were reported at Tazewell Middle School just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Officers traced the shots to McPherson, who lives near the school. He told officers he had been shooting at a coyote.
Some personnel were at the school getting ready for Thursday's first day of classes, but nobody was injured.

Lady Gaga Threatened with Arrest, Fine for Expressing LGBT Support in Russia
December 12, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
Lady Gaga has reportedly been threatened with arrest and a $50,000 fine for violating St. Petersburg's infamous "homosexual propaganda" law.
The law, on the books since March, criminalizes "public action aimed at propagandising sodomy, lesbianism, bisexualism, and transgenderism among minors."
Speaking through a translator at her recent concert in St. Petersburg, Lady Gaga called for respect for LGBT rights. Before this past weekend's concert, she also tweeted her thanks to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who recently stated in an interview that "not all human relationships are subject to legal regulation."
Last month, Madonna was sued for $10.7 million by conservative Russian activists for violating St. Petersburg's anti-gay propaganda law during her summer concert. The lawsuit was thrown out by a St. Petersburg court.

Updated on Wednesday:
Calhoun County Committee on Aging hosted its 12th annual
Veterans Day Celebration on Wednesday, Nov. 12, for all veterans who
have been reported with Calhoun connections.
Von Yoak continued his tradition of singing the "Star
Spangled Banner." The first time he sang on stage was 83 years ago.
The heart of the CCCOA staff was evident in all aspects
of the program, from the patriotic decorations to the special hot rolls.
Executive director Rick Poling was in charge of the
program and shared comments and statistics of veterans. This information
is being printed because many of our veterans can no longer attend a
celebration. Our nation cannot forget the sacrifice of life on the
battlefields, and also those on the home front who supported them.
Death-tolls of the military in U.S. conflicts to date have often
escaped public awareness, but merit our full attention:
Revolutionary War, 24,435

Iraq, 4,410 deaths; 31,941 wounded,
as of Nov. 8
Afghanistan, 2,153 deaths; 19,464
wounded as of Nov. 8
All of our veterans have made the following pledge: "I
solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of officers
appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of
Military Justice. So help me God."
You can help make these brave citizens a part of our
history by submitting their information and a photograph to
The Calhoun Chronicle. This
will be shared with CCCOA for its "Wall of Honor" and stored in the
newspaper archives.

Let's Get to Work on a Strong Plan to Protect Floridians from Carbon Pollution
Pamela Rivera, Latino Engagement Associate / Program Assistant, Washington, D.C.
Over the course of our campaign to encourage Florida Governor Rick Scott to develop a strong plan for meeting the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan (CPP) standards, I have been heartened to hear about the efforts of so many in Florida to make reducing carbon pollution and addressing climate change a central issue.
Last week, business leaders and others requested the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) provide Floridians with more time to comment on the CPP standards and what they should look like for the state. Less than 24 hours later, the PSC reversed itself and said it would give commenters more time to weigh in on the standards.
Then there's the work of the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), a collective of evangelical ministers nationwide. This week, Reverend Mitch Hescox of EEN delivered the signatures of over 60,000 Florida pro-life Christians to Governor Rick Scott at the Capitol in Tallahassee. The petition requested Governor Scott "create a plan to reduce carbon pollution and confront the impacts of a changing climate." Reverend Hescox's delivery also included a Spanish-language Bible signed by 50 Hispanic evangelical ministers during a Miami gathering, earlier this week, on why Christians should care about climate change.
In addition to EEN, elected officials around the state are also addressing climate change. For instance, this past Wednesday I attended a climate and energy summit convened by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. Florida Senator Bill Nelson made a surprise appearance and commended Orlando for taking the steps to address climate change, he noted that Florida is ground zero for impacts and that we need to be proactive on climate action. White House Council on Environmental Quality Acting Chair Mike Boots asked that city officials, utilities, business owners, and private citizens all add their voices to the open comment period in support of President Obama's Clean Power Plan. Finally, NRDC Executive Director Peter Lehner gave a speech touching on NRDC's work with the city of Orlando on the City Energy project.
For his part, Mayor Dyer has been working hard to move Orlando in the right direction when it comes to energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental protection, and it's working. Over the past five years, Orlando has achieved more than $1 million in annual energy savings under Mayor Dyer's leadership. The city has used these savings to help promote environmental stewardship, educate people about "environmentally conscious lifestyles" and encourage others to incorporate a concern for the environment into the everyday workings of government and private business. In addition, Mayor Dyer's "Green Works Orlando" program has:
- Expanded the Downtown LYMMO bus circulator and completed SunRail
- Launched car-sharing with bike-sharing arriving Summer 2014
- Completed eight LEED-certified municipal buildings, including the first newly constructed LEED-certified NBA arena in the country
- Performed energy efficiency retrofits to 1,200 houses
- Planted 10,000 trees and established four community gardens
- Adopted the 2012 Municipal Operations Sustainability Plan and the 2013 Green Works Community Action Plan
Congratulations to Mayor Dyer for his efforts in Orlando, and to so many other mayors around the state (and country) who have been taking the lead to combat climate change. Now, we need action from Governor Scott, particularly given the findings of the landmark National Climate Assessment, which found that Florida is "exceptionally vulnerable to sea level rise, extreme heat events, and decreased water availability" caused by climate change. Also, given that 70% of Floridians favor limiting the amount of carbon pollution power plants can emit, we look forward to the development of a strong plan for Florida.
Finally, next Tuesday, climate scientists will be meeting with Governor Scott in his office to lay out the science and to explain the urgency of dealing with climate change. Hopefully, the conversation with climate scientists will help drive home the need for effective action as soon as possible.

Brian Donovan says:Let's all grow up. Carbon is not the problem. Excess carbon from fossils is. If we get sloppy, the world will reject the whole concept. Waste to fuels are carbon neutral, and even massively carbon negative if the the wastes are charred and buried to improve poor soils. We must be careful about this. Carbon emission from waste to fuels are not pollution. From fossils they are.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Right Coach In Dallas
by Paul on 02/04/07 at 10:58 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Star-Telegram,
This has been Tippett's best, the season we are finally able to step back and say the Stars have the right coach.
This is slightly ironic because there is a definite chance that this will go down as the lowest-seeded Stars team to enter the playoffs in the Tippett Era. There is an almost definite chance another Pacific Division banner will not hang from the rafters at American Airlines Center in April. And there is a definitely definite chance none of his players is accused of carrying this team during this season of crisis after crisis after crisis.
Not that crisis does justice to what Tippett's team has endured this season.

Use of a collagen-sealing device in hepatic resection: a comparative analysis to standard resection technique.
ABSTRACT Blood transfusion has been reported as an independent risk factor for poor outcome after liver resection in spite of its well known benefits. Refinements in parenchymal dissection have been pursued to reduce blood loss and transfusion. A collagen-sealing device (CSD) has recently been touted as an alternative technique that aids in blood conservation. We report the results of our initial series of patients undergoing a CSD-assisted resection and present a historical comparison.
Consecutive patients who were undergoing liver resection at a single tertiary cancer centre were enrolled in this study. The Ligasure Atlas device (Valleylab Inc., Division of Tyco Healthcare) was used for parenchymal division in the CSD group. Known blood conservation techniques (i.e. low central venous pressure, ultrasonic dissection, Pringle clamp) were standardized in both groups. Clinical and outcome variables including operative time, estimated blood loss and transfusion requirements were collected. All statistical analyses were performed with SAS version 8.2e.
In all, 28 consecutive patients underwent CSD-assisted hepatic resection between October 2003 and September 2004. The control group included 188 patients treated between January 1991 and September 2003. In the CSD group, we observed a reduction in mean estimated blood loss (930 vs 1450 ml, p=0.002) and mean transfusion requirements (0.46 vs 1.19 units, p=0.002). There was no increase in operative time with the new instrument (326 vs 363 min, p=0.167).
Use of a CSD has the potential to further reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements without increasing operative time.

ABSTRACT: For patients with axillary lymph node metastases from breast cancer, performance of a complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is the standard approach. Due to the rich lymphatic network in the axilla, it is necessary to carefully dissect and identify all lymphatic channels. Traditionally, these lymphatics are sealed with titanium clips or individually sutured. Recently, the Harmonic Focus®, a hand-held ultrasonic dissector, allows lymphatics to be sealed without the utilization of clips or ties. We hypothesize that ALND performed with the Harmonic Focus® will decrease operative time and reduce post-operative complications. Retrospective review identified all patients who underwent ALND at a teaching hospital between January of 2005 and December of 2009. Patient demographics, presenting pathology, treatment course, operative time, days to drain removal, and surgical complications were recorded. Comparisons were made to a selected control group of patients who underwent similar surgical procedures along with an ALND performed utilizing hemostatic clips and electrocautery. A total of 41 patients were included in this study. Operative time was not improved with the use of ultrasonic dissection, however, there was a decrease in the total number of days that closed suction drainage was required, although this was not statistically significant. Complication rates were similar between the two groups. In this case-matched retrospective review, there were fewer required days of closed suction drainage when ALND was performed with ultrasonic dissection versus clips and electrocautery.World Journal of Surgical Oncology 08/2011; 9:90. · 1.09 Impact Factor
Article: LigaSure Impact™ versus conventional dissection technique in pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in clinical suspicion of cancerous tumours on the head of the pancreas: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The pp-Whipple procedure requires extensive preparation. The conventional preparation technique is done with scissors for dissection and ligatures, and with clips and sutures for hemostasis. This procedure is very time-consuming and requires numerous changes of instruments. The LigaSure™ device allows dissection and hemostasis for preparation with one instrument. Up to now there has been no comparison of the two techniques with regard to operating time and the patients' outcome. It is still unclear which technique has the optimal benefit/risk ratio for the patient. METHODS/DESIGN: A single-center, randomized, single-blinded, controlled superiority trial to compare two different techniques for dissection in a pp-Whipple procedure. 102 patients will be included and randomized pre-operatively. All patients aged 18 years or older scheduled for primary elective pp-Whipple procedure who signed the informed consent will be included. The primary endpoint is the operating time of the randomized technique. Control Intervention: Conventional dissection technique; experimental intervention: LigaSureTM dissection technique. Duration of study: Approximately 15 months; follow up time: 3 years. The trial is registered at German ClinicalTrials Register (DRKS00000166).Trials 06/2011; 12:162. · 2.21 Impact Factor

Use of a collagen-sealing device in hepatic resection: a comparative
analysis to standard resection technique
Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario and University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario,
Background. Blood transfusion has been reported as an independent risk factor for poor outcome after liver resection in
spite of its well known benefits. Refinements in parenchymal dissection have been pursued to reduce blood loss and
transfusion. A collagen-sealing device (CSD) has recently been touted as an alternative technique that aids in blood
conservation. We report the results of our initial series of patients undergoing a CSD-assisted resection and present a
historical comparison. Patients and methods. Consecutive patients who were undergoing liver resection at a single tertiary
cancer centre were enrolled in this study. The Ligasure Atlas device (Valleylab Inc., Division of Tyco Healthcare) was used
for parenchymal division in the CSD group. Known blood conservation techniques (i.e. low central venous pressure,
ultrasonic dissection, Pringle clamp) were standardized in both groups. Clinical and outcome variables including operative
time, estimated blood loss and transfusion requirements were collected. All statistical analyses were performed with SAS
version 8.2e. Results. In all, 28 consecutive patients underwent CSD-assisted hepatic resection between October 2003 and
September 2004. The control group included 188 patients treated between January 1991 and September 2003. In the CSD
group, we observed a reduction in mean estimated blood loss (930 vs 1450 ml, p? /0.002) and mean transfusion
requirements (0.46 vs 1.19 units, p? /0.002). There was no increase in operative time with the new instrument (326 vs 363
min, p? /0.167). Discussion. Use of a CSD has the potential to further reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements
without increasing operative time.
Key Words: collagen sealing, hepatic resection, operative technique, bile leak, blood transfusion
In spite of their therapeutic role, blood transfusions
have been reported as an independent risk factor for
operative mortality, major complications and length
of hospital stay in patients undergoing liver resec-
tion for colorectal metastases [1]. This effect has
been found to occur in a dose-dependent fashion
and justifies efforts to find ways of decreasing the
frequency and number of units of blood transfused
to patients.
Efforts to minimize blood loss during parenchymal
dissection can be classified into three groups. First,
strategies have been directed at minimizing blood flow
through the liver during parenchymal dissection (e.g.
Pringle manoeuvre). Second, anaesthetic techniques
are applied to achieve low central venous pressure
(CVP) during parenchymal dissection to reduce blood
pressure in the hepatic vessels. Third, a wide range of
strategies have been directed at minimizing blood loss
along the plane of transection. In most cases, combi-
nations of these strategies are used to achieve minimal
blood loss.
We have employed a feedback-controlled collagen-
sealing device (CSD) with the aim of minimizing
blood loss during parenchymal dissection (see Figure
1). This device makes use of bipolar electro-thermal
energy to create a permanent seal of collagen and
elastin between opposing walls of both bile ducts and
blood vessels. Seals can be attempted with current
devices on structures up to 7 mm in diameter. Larger
vessels require formal suturing or stapling. The CSD
can be used without isolating the bile ducts and blood
Horgan reported the efficacy and safety of the use
of the CSD for liver resection in 2001 [2]. It was
subsequently reported that use of the CSD could be
achieved with a low rate of bile leak and reduced
need for inflow occlusion [3]. We report the results
of our initial series of patients undergoing a new
CSD-assisted resection and present a historical

Patients and methods
Patient selection
A prospectively maintained database was used to
identify all patients who underwent liver resection
between October 2003 and September 2004 at a
tertiary care centre. Patients were included in the
study if the CSD (Ligasure AtlasTM, Valleylab Inc.,
Division of Tyco Healthcare) was used to assist in
parenchymal dissection. The same database was
used to gather data on consecutive liver resections
from 1 January 1991 until 30 September 2003;
these patients made up the historical control cohort
in which the CSD was not used. Known blood
conservation techniques (i.e. Pringle manoeuvre,
low CVP, aprotinin administration and ultrasonic
dissection) were standardized in both groups and
liver resections were performed by the same sur-
geons (S.H., A.S. and C.H.L.). Cases were ex-
cluded from the study if they included multivisceral
Liver resection technique
Liver resections were performed using the Minimal
Blood Loss (MBL) Programme, which was described
in our earlier publication [4]. Adjunct peri-operative
techniques included maintaining CVP below 6.0
mmHg via fluid restriction, no positive end expiratory
pressure (PEEP) and no intermittent positive pressure
(IPP) to prevent ventilatory effects on CVP, aprotonin
administration (2? /106unit bolus, 500000 units per
hour thereafter) and use of a cell saver device.
The operative technique began with complete in-
flow occlusion using precise portal dissection to
identify the inflow artery and portal vein. These
structures would be divided using a vascular stapling
device or suture. Once appropriate lines of ischaemic
demarcation were confirmed, outflow occlusion was
initiated. Firstly, the retro-hepatic veins were indivi-
dually ligated and then the ipsilateral hepatic vein was
identified and divided using a vascular stapling device.
The middle hepatic vein was also identified and
ligated extrahepatically when appropriate. Once vas-

cular inflow and outflow occlusion were satisfactory,
parenchymal dissection commenced, using the Cavi-
tron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) dissector.
Clips or suture were used in the pre-CSD era, and the
CSD technique is described below. Pringle clamp was
used during parenchymal dissection and the protocol
involved a maximum of 20 min clamp time followed
by a 5 min break. This could be repeated as needed
for the resection.
The CSD used at our centre was the LigaSure AtlasTM
20 cm Sealer/Divider (Valleylab Inc.). This shortened
version of the laparoscopic equivalent was equipped
with a cutting blade that avoided the need for an
additional cutting step after sealing. The instrument
was used with and without prior parenchymal dissec-
tion with the CUSA. The potential for time saving by
foregoing preliminary dissection with the CUSA must
be balanced with the subsequent need to crush and
seal larger amounts of tissue. This crushing can result
in the tearing of small bile ductules and vessels if
excessive volumes of liver tissue are crushed between
the blades of the instrument. We were able to over-
come this limitation by partially closing the instru-
ment prior to gently inserting the lower blade into the
liver parenchyma. This helped to ensure that the
penetrating blade was inserted parallel to the previous
line of seal and also limited the amount of tissue
incorporated in each seal. If resistance was encoun-
tered during insertion of the lower blade into the liver
parenchyma, a blunt clamp was used to first create a
tunnel for the CSD as described by Strasberg et al.
[3]. Periodic cleaning of the blades with hydrogen
peroxide helped to reduce sticking of tissue to the
instrument during removal. We felt that there was
no benefit of activating the device prior to full closure
of the blades as this practice encourages excessive
Data collection/outcomes
Demographic data were obtained from the prospec-
tive electronic database. Clinical data were then
abstracted by chart review of both electronic and
paper records. Demographic data included age and
sex. Clinical data sources included operative, post-
operative, pathology and transfusion records. Opera-
tive data collected included date of surgery, type of
resection, operative time, use of the CUSA, use of the
CSD (LigaSure), use of the cell saver device, and
estimated blood loss. Estimated blood loss was
determined by standard protocol of measurement of
intraoperative suction with subtracted irrigation fluids
and surgical sponge weights. Postoperative data in-
cluded incidence of postoperative bile leak, bleeding
complication requiring operative re-exploration and
length of stay from date of surgery. Pathology reports
were used to confirm final diagnoses. Transfusion
data included number of units of allogeneic blood
transfused perioperatively.
Statistical analysis
Mean estimated blood loss, operative time, and
required units of blood transfusion in the historical
and CSD groups were compared using Student's t
test. Median estimated age, CVPs and length of stay
were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
Requirement of any blood transfusion was compared
using Fisher's exact test and the distribution of
resections and diagnoses were compared using Pear-
son's x2test. All statistical analyses were performed
with SAS version 8.2e (SAS Institute, Cary, NC,
A total of 34 consecutive patients underwent CSD-
assisted hepatic resection between October 2003 and
September 2004 at a tertiary cancer centre. Six of
these patients required multivisceral resections and
were excluded from the study. Five patients under-
went hepatic resection during the study period but
were not included in our study as the CSD equipment
was not available for these resections. The control
group included 188 consecutive patients treated
between January 1991 and September 2003 at the
same centre. Overall cohort characteristics are sum-
marized in Table I.
The median age of patients in the CSD group was
higher than in the control group (73.8 vs 64.0 years,
p B /0.0001). In addition, the ratio of males to females
was different between the comparison groups. The
extent of resections performed and indications for
surgery (diagnosis) were not different and both groups
had resections under low CVP conditions (4.0 vs

3.0 mmHg, p? /0.299). Both groups were compared
(where data was available) for differences in baseline
liver function. They had similar baseline INR, platelet
counts and bilirubin levels. Although INR did differ
statistically, this was not clinically significant (median
INR 0.99 vs 0.95, p? /0.01). Cohort comparisons are
summarized in Table II.
In the CSD group, we observed a reduction in
mean estimated blood loss (930 vs 1450 ml, p? /
0.002). In spite of the fact that requirement for
transfusion was not significantly reduced in the CSD
group (26.6 vs 33.7%, p? /0.671), the mean number
of units transfused was reduced (0.46 vs 1.19 units,
p? /0.002). There was no increase in operative time
observed with use of the new instrument (326 vs
363 min, p? /0.167). The median length of stay from
date of surgery was not significantly different between
the two groups (7.0 vs 8.0 days, p? /0.101). The
comparison of primary outcomes is summarized in
Table III.
When the two groups were compared with regard
to postoperative complications (Table IV) there were
no observed differences in the incidence of bile leak
(3.6 vs 10.0%, p? /0.238) and no bleeding complica-
tions were observed in either group.
Use of the CSD technology is currently reported
in many surgical subspecialties. General surgical
applications have included both open and mini-
mally invasive procedures in colorectal (colectomy
and haemorroidectomy) [5?13], head and neck
[14,15] and splenic surgery [16]. Hepatobiliary ap-
plications of the CSD have included pancreaticoduo-
particular, the use of the CSD in hepatic resections
is potentially advantageous as it seals both biliary and
vascular structures. In an unpublished case report,
Slakey described the use of the CSD along with the
CUSA in performing a left lateral segmentectomy for
a living donor operation [D. Slakey, unpublished
observations]. The CSD was used for division of the
falciform ligament as well as intrahepatic structures
skeletonized by the CUSA. Subsequently, Strasberg
and Horgan reported their preliminary experience
with the use of the CSD in liver resection [2,18].
Horgan used the CSD after parenchymal dissection
using the ultrasonic aspirator. In six consecutive cases
(three right hepatectomies, two left hepatectomies
and one segment 2,3 resection), blood loss ranged
from 425 to 700 ml and there were no morbidities and
mortalities. Strasberg et al. later reported the results
of their case-series of 27 hepatic procedures [3]. They
found that the CSD worked effectively for 23 of the
procedures where standard parenchymal transections
were performed. In their experience, the instrument
did not function well for hepatic enucleations. In the
standard parenchymal transections median blood loss
was 500 ml (range 100?2500 ml) and only four
patients required blood transfusion. The 30-day
mortality was zero and the one postoperative death
was due to pulmonary complications. None of the
patients who underwent standard parenchymal trans-
ections suffered bile leaks and there were no patients
whose postoperative course was complicated by blood
loss. They concluded that the CSD could be used
safely and effectively for standard liver resections as
both bile leak and postoperative bleeding were not
[17] and liver resection[2,3].In

encountered in their series and need for inflow
occlusion was infrequent with CSD use.
The only comparative analysis completed to date
considered liver resection with a combination of a
monopolar floating ball plus CSD (FB-LS; n? /16)
against matched historical controls that underwent
liver resection by the clamp-crushing method and
Pringle manoeuvre (CC; n? /16) [19]. They found a
significantly reduced blood loss in the FB-LS group
compared with the CC group (during transection:
200 vs 480 ml, p? /0.006; total: 300 vs 730 ml, p? /
0.008). However, median liver transection time was
long in the FB-LS group compared with the CC
group (144 vs 58 min, p B /0.0001). Inflow occlusion
was used in five of the patients in the FB-LS group.
No patient in the FB-LS group suffered a bile leak
while one patient in the CC group was found to have a
bile leak.
Our study compared two cohorts that differed
primarily in the use of the CSD. The historical control
group was drawn from a population after which a
minimal blood loss strategy had been implemented in
our centre, establishing the use of low CVP anaes-
thesia, ultrasonic dissector (CUSA), and cell saver as
standard for most cases [4]. Although the comparison
groups differed in age and gender compositions, the
extent of resection and indications for surgery as well
as baseline liver function were comparable. We
observed a reduction in mean estimated blood loss
when the CSD group was compared to the control
group (930 vs 1450 ml, p? /0.002) and a decrease in
mean transfusion requirements (0.46 vs 1.19 units,
p? /0.002) was observed. We were unable to demon-
strate a difference in total operative time between the
two groups (326 vs 363 min, p? /0.167), although
with a larger sample size the observed difference may
have reached statistical significance. That said, use of
the CSD did not result in an increased mean operative
time as reported in the previous comparative analysis
[19]. Mean results for estimated blood loss, number
of units transfused and total operative time were
reported in this study as it was felt that outliers played
a significant role in patient outcome after liver
In this study, we considered complications that
might be associated with a failure of CSD to
effectively seal bile ducts and blood vessels. There
was no observed difference between the comparison
groups when the rates of bile leak and bleeding
complications were considered. This is in clear agree-
ment with previous reports of the safety of this device
in liver resection. In addition, despite the fact that the
median age was significantly greater in the CSD
group, median length of hospital stay was shorter in
this group.
A further benefit of this instrument is the avoidance
of surgical clipping. This allows for detailed post-
operative follow-up imaging unhindered by artifacts
associated with metallic clips. This is becoming more
important in the evolution of new and effective
further extended and staged resections.
Use of a CSD during parenchymal transaction of liver
resections appears to be a safe and efficient approach
to further reduce blood loss and transfusion require-
ments without increasing operative time. This method
warrants further study at multiple centres to confirm
our findings.

My ex is trying to modify custody without any substantial changes in circumstance. Would it be smart to file a motion for summary judgement so I can avoid wasting my time and money in court in hopes the judge will throw the case out because of no substantial changes in circumstances?
Attrney Kelso gave you a great answer, the goal of the family court is to uncover the truth and make sure the best interest of the child/chidren is being served, a summary judgment could preclude important evidence, perhpas a motion to dismiss is best. take care
Generally motions for summary judgment are not used in child custody cases. The judge has a duty to hear the case and make a decision that is in the best interest of the child. The better approach is to wait until the completion of the movant's motion and move to dismiss the motion for failure to prove a change of circumstances.

He's not just talking to
He's not just talking to himself (which doesn't even make a person insane), he's talking to the camera. He's a pissed off, red-blooded American.
Why does anger now equate to being irrational? So what if he's "violent?" He's obviously not going around harming people. He's threatening whoever dares to come take his and his town's rights with rightful violence.
He is one man in a town of over 800 people. That's their police force...him. I know Schuylkill county. I can guarantee you that the people in areas like that would not put up with some insane tyrant.
I will also make one more point. Violence CANNOT be defensive. It's only offensive. If someone breaks into your home and you shoot them, you did not commit an act of violence. The person who broke into your act committed the act of violence. Violence hinges on intent.

MD Sass has launched the Waterfall Victoria Fund, a hedge fund investing in less-liquid asset-backed securities. The firm has commitments from its existing institutional investors of $200 million for the new offering.
The $12 billion firm currently manages the two-year old Waterfall Eden Fund, which specializes in high-yield and distressed ABS. Late last year, MD Sass decided to create a less-liquid version of Waterfall Eden in order to take advantage of a potentially large supply of less-liquid ABS available in the marketplace, "as holders ran into some difficulty because of being too leveraged or having redemptions in their funds due to poor performance," according to a source familiar with the fund.
"They were able to raise more money than they could reasonably put to work in the current environment, but they believe they'll have plenty of opportunities," the source said. "Investors are going in with the view that they want to be in for the long run. Obviously the problems that Bear has had are not alone because there is a fair amount of distressed selling out there."
Waterfall Eden currently manages close to $1 billion and has generated "very enviable returns with a very modest level of leverage," according to the source. Jack Ross and Tom Capasse, portfolio managers for Waterfall Eden, also serve as managers for the new offering.
The new fund charges 2% for management and 20% for performance, and has a three-year lockup period. Its minimum investment requirement is $1 million, but its investors are coming in with "substantially" more than that, the source says.
MD Sass has also recently seeded a commodities-based private equity fund investing in publicly-held small mining companies with substantial natural resource reserves in metals and coal. The Taurus Fund, which is looking to raise $300 million, held its first closing this month on $50 million, and anticipates holding another close later on this summer, according to the source.
Australia-based Taurus is focusing its investments in its home country as well as New Zealand, Africa, Asia, Canada and Latin America. "They need capital to get the reserves into production so MD Sass is providing them with the capital and arrange for debt financing," said the source.

Time To De-Bloombergize New York CitySubmitted by emalvini on Thu, 07/26/2012 - 10:23
Time To De-Bloombergize New York City
by S.M. Oliva
In response to the Aurora movie theater killings, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued an extraordinary statement. A longtime opponent of the right to self-defense, Bloomberg told a CNN interviewer that police have a moral duty to rebel against the civilian population if they don't cede their remaining gun rights to the state:
I don't understand why the police officers across this country don't stand up collectively and say, 'We're going to go on strike. We're not going to protect you. Unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what's required to keep us safe.'
This wasn't a political argument for "gun control" legislation. Bloomberg went on national television and demanded a military coup against a civilian government he deems insufficiently authoritarian. Like Adolf Hitler before him – and yes, I'm going there – he used the Aurora mass murder as a call to arms for his own version of the Beer Hall Putsch. By Bloomberg's own words, the "safety" of his armed militia is of greater importance than any fundamental rights the citizens may claim. There can no longer be any doubt that Bloomberg is a descendent of the Nazi and Communist ideologies that ravaged Europe during the previous century and linger to this day.

I hope the police go on
I hope the police go on strike permanently. We would all be safer. Just ask the people of Anaheim Ca. Bloomberg thinks we need his help deciding how big of a drink to by. What is he going to dictate to us next, how many squares of toilet paper to use when we wipe our ass.
All your rights
are belong to us.....HAHAHAHAHA
Freedom is the answer !!
What's the question ?
-Jack Blood-
I've heard him referred to as
I've heard him referred to as a food-nazi, but to me he is a communist. And I am not surprised that the people of New York city continue to re-elect him. They have had that kind of mindset or reputation for my entire (half a century) life. If that city and the state of california would secede from the U.S., the U.S. would be a lot better off.

Middle school students will be able to take new advanced English courses starting in the 2010-11 school year.
The new courses are designed to offer students a more rigorous option than standard English classes, readying them for advanced classes at the high school level, said Beth Erenberger, district director of student learning.
School Board members approved the new courses Monday night.
In addition, the board approved a $180,000 purchase of new textbooks for sixth- through ninth-graders. The new books are intended to add rigor at all ability levels, Erenberger said.
Lastly, the board voted to change the name of the English subject area from communicative arts to English language arts. Erenberger said the new title is a more universally used phrase.
The changes are all part of an ongoing effort to improve Wauwatosa's English, reading and writing instruction, which began last school year.

Washington wildfires holding, still a threat
Firefighters dug fire lines and lit backfires Wednesday in an effort to contain several large wildfires burning across 170 square miles of Eastern Washington after cooler weather overnight helped keep the lightning-sparked blazes from growing.
Associated Press
Firefighters dug fire lines and lit backfires Wednesday in an effort to contain several large wildfires burning across 170 square miles of Eastern Washington after cooler weather overnight helped keep the lightning-sparked blazes from growing.
Meanwhile, fire managers worried about the potential for new fires west of the Cascades, where the National Weather Service issued a fire weather watch for the mountains' west slopes and the Puget Sound basin Wednesday night and early Thursday. A red-flag warning for critical fire danger also was issued for southwest Washington, including Vancouver.
High temperatures combined with dry terrain - some areas haven't seen rain for nearly two months - made for dangerous fire conditions statewide.
Earlier this week, high winds fanned seven large fire complexes in Eastern Washington, and more than 1,600 firefighters labored on those blazes Wednesday. Many more worked to contain dozens of small fires scattered across the eastern two-thirds of the state.
Smoke from the wildfires not only blanketed much of central and Eastern Washington, it drifted into parts of Western Washington, where alarmed residents were calling 911 on Wednesday, a state official said.
Dispatchers at 911 centers in five southwest Washington counties reported being inundated with false fire reports prompted by smoke from fires east of the Cascade Mountains, state Department of Natural Resources spokesman Bryan Flint said.
Easterly winds have been moving the smoke through the Columbia Gorge and across gaps in the Cascades, Flint said, adding that pattern is likely to continue over the next day or so.
Near Grand Coulee Dam in Eastern Washington, three homes and nine outbuildings were confirmed lost to two fires that have burned a combined 92,000 acres, or roughly 143 square miles, of grass and brush. The homes likely burned when high winds pushed the fire Monday evening, but firefighters were unable to begin assessing the damage until Tuesday, fire spokeswoman Karen Ripley said.
The fire was 20 percent contained Wednesday. About 185 firefighters were assigned to the blaze.
"All the crews are working on improving the containment lines and continuing to protect structures in the area," Ripley said. "Most of the area is very light fuels - brush and dry grass, and it can't get any drier - so with favorable winds, we should be able to get on top of it pretty quickly."
Some homeowners just west of Wenatchee were allowed to return home Wednesday, but about 125 homes were still evacuated by a fire that had grown to more than 1,000 acres, Wenatchee police Sgt. John Kruse said. Residents of dozens of other homes were told to be ready to flee if the fire grows.
Another wildfire forced residents of 43 homes near Cashmere, about 6 miles west of Wenatchee, to leave. To the north, 19 homes were evacuated by a wildfire burning 5 miles north of Entiat.
More than 600 firefighters were assigned to the wildfires burning in north-central Washington alone.
Crews are stretched thin by the number of large fires, fire spokeswoman Connie Mehmel said, but firefighters are putting their best efforts into fires that could threaten people and property.
Mehmel also noted that though it's late in the fire season, there still could be several weeks of burning before the area receives any significant rain or snow to dampen flames.
"While we know we will get a season-ending event in the foreseeable future, it still looks like it's a little ways down the road," she said.
And in southern Washington, nearly 500 firefighters were assigned to a wildfire burning in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest south of Mount Adams, an area thick with dead timber from bug infestations. That fire was threatening no homes, but crews were working to keep it from blowing east into state and tribal timber lands.

Simple code C# winform app (visual studio 2010):
A simple form with one text box here is a keyPress event:
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
// The keypressed method uses the KeyChar property to check
// whether the ENTER key is pressed.
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Return)
Process.Start("http://yahoo.com", null);
Works fine if I type in some text in the text box and hit enter, it opens up my default web browser and takes me to a site.
I need to change the text box to autocompletemode = suggestappend and autocompletesource = customsource. And then I fill it like so:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
AutoCompleteStringCollection s = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
s.Add("Jon ");
s.Add("2 Jon");
textBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource = s;
It does the autocomplete as right when I type in a J it comes up with Jon, but now when I hit enter it doesnt fireoff the KeyPress event. It just sits there. I tried putting in a break point and when I type in the first letter J it fires the KeyPress event. Then when i select the string "Jon" from the autocomplete source and then I hit enter the event no longer fires.
Confused :).
