Maryland hospital officials respond to the potential hepatitis C outbreak
Andrew Mollenbeck, WTOP reporter
By HOLLY RAMER
Associated Press Writer
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Hospitals across the country recommended hepatitis C testing for about 7,900 patients last summer after a traveling medical worker was accused of stealing drugs and infecting patients with tainted syringes in New Hampshire. But five months later, nearly half of those who were possibly exposed to the liver-destroying disease in other states have yet to be tested.
Described by prosecutors as a "serial infector," David Kwiatkowski is accused of stealing syringes of the powerful painkiller fentanyl from the cardiac catheterization lab at New Hampshire's Exeter Hospital and replacing them with saline-filled syringes tainted with his own blood. In jail since his arrest in July, he pleaded not guilty to 14 federal drug charges earlier this month and is expected to go to trial next fall.
Before April 2001, when he was hired in New Hampshire, Kwiatkowski worked as a traveling cardiac technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states, moving from job to job _ despite being fired twice over allegations of drug use and theft.
Thirty-two people in New Hampshire have been diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C that Kwiatkowski carries, along with six in Kansas, five in Maryland and one in Pennsylvania. At least 3,700 people outside New Hampshire have yet to be tested, hospitals and public health officials told The Associated Press.
For example, in Michigan, where Kwiatkowski grew up and started his career, about 2,300 patients at five hospitals were notified that they may have been exposed to hepatitis C by Kwiatkowski. As of early December, only about 500 had gone in for testing, none of whom were diagnosed with a strain linked to the New Hampshire outbreak, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health.
In Pennsylvania, 2,280 patients at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian were notified that they should get tested, but only 840 have, one of whom was diagnosed with a matching strain of hepatitis C.
Kwiatkowski was fired a few weeks into his temporary job at UPMC in 2008 after a co-worker accused him of swiping a fentanyl syringe from an operating room and sticking it down his pants. Citing a lack of evidence, hospital authorities didn't call police, and neither the hospital nor the medical staffing agency that placed him in the job informed the national accreditation organization for radiological technicians. Within days, Kwiatkowski was starting a new job at the Baltimore VA Medical Center, where one patient also has since been diagnosed with hepatitis C linked to Kwiatkowski.
Though the VA center initially said it had identified 168 patients who may have been exposed, that number was later lowered, and 68 patients ultimately were tested. Two other Maryland hospitals where Kwiatkowski worked also have completed their testing, with no diagnosed cases of hepatitis C matching Kwiatkowski. But at the fourth, The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, four patients have been diagnosed with the strain of disease linked to Kwiatkowski.
About 500 of the 1,567 patients notified by Johns Hopkins have yet to be tested, according to hospital spokeswoman Kim Hoppe. Kwiatkowski had been referred by a staffing agency that assured Johns Hopkins that it had followed a vigorous vetting process, Hoppe said. He worked there for two 13-week stints, from July 2009 to January 2010.
Saint Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where Kwiatkowski worked in late 2007 and early 2008, notified and tested 31 patients without finding any linked cases to Kwiatkowski. In Kansas, nearly all of the 416 patients who may have been exposed at Hays Medical Center have been tested and six have been diagnosed with infections linked to the New Hampshire outbreak.
There have been no cases linked to Kwiatkowski in Arizona, where about 300 patients from two hospitals have been asked to get tested and about 280 have done so. Kwiatkowski worked at Maryvale Hospital in Phoenix in 2009 and the Arizona Heart Hospital in 2010. He was fired from the latter job after 10 days after a co-worker found him passed out in a bathroom stall with a stolen fentanyl syringe floating in the toilet.
That incident was reported to police, Kwiatkowski's staffing agency, a state regulatory board and the national accreditation organization, but the accreditation group dropped its inquiry after learning police hadn't filed charges.
Days later, Kwiatkowski landed a new job filling in for striking technicians at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. That hospital has recommended testing for 312 patients but won't say how many have followed through or have been diagnosed with hepatitis C. A hospital spokesman referred questions to the city health department, which did not return calls.

Jörg Stocker, attributed to
German, 1485–1512
Adoration of the Magi, c. 1510
oil on panel
196.4 x 136.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Lord and Lady Gort
Attributed to the German master Jörg Stocker, this magnificent Adoration scene, a highly popular subject in late Gothic and Renaissance art, reads like a delightful narrative. In the distant grounds, Stocker records the long journey of the Magi to the Holy Family in the stable, marked by the golden star. Serving as allegorical representations of the three known continents, Africa, Asia, and Europe, the Magi or Wise Men also personify three ages of humankind: the young, dark-skinned Balthazar (to the right), the middle-aged Melchior (to the left), and the grey-haired Caspar on bended knee. In his depiction of the sumptuous attire worn by the Magi, Stocker also showcases the city of Ulm's locally produced and famous silk and wool products. Stocker and his pupil, Martin Schaffner, represent the late Gothic painting tradition in Ulm, which was greatly shaped by the work of Martin Schongauer.

Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- Elections in Zimbabwe are still months away, but already President Robert Mugabe's party is intimidating its opponents and threatening violence, human rights and pro-democracy groups say.
Witnesses say Mugabe's ZANU-PF party has begun deploying youth militia groups in some of its strongholds. A young mother in the Harare township of Mbare said militants of a pro-Mugabe youth group known as Chipangano, or "the brotherhood" in local slang, have started door-to-door visits in the neighborhood and told residents to attend night meetings where names and identity particulars of participants were written down.
"They are watching me every day," she said, refusing to give her name because she feared violent retribution.
If she doesn't go to the meetings with family members and friends her absence will be noted down on another list of suspected Mugabe opponents, she said.
Mugabe party officials say the logging of names is merely part of regular campaigning to keep supporters up to date with the party's activities in the runup to polling.
Rugare Gumbo, the party's spokesman, denied a campaign of intimidation was under way. He has accused Mugabe's opponents of making "sensational" allegations to garner sympathy in the face of electoral defeat.
"We have become more and more aware of their machinations," he said.
The independent Zimbabwe Peace Project, which monitors political intimidation and violence, reported in its latest bulletin Mugabe militants are also marking with stickers the homes of their supporters and new converts.
"There is no doubt those with stickers would be used to identify people (without them) who would then be victimized before and after elections," the group said.
Mugabe's party insists its members are free to display party loyalty and regalia during election campaigning, a common practice in most countries. But independent campaign monitors have reported rival fliers and posters being torn down and destroyed, mostly by militant youth groups.
Monitors representing both local and foreign rights groups say there is now burgeoning fear because Zimbabwe's elections have been marred by violence and alleged vote rigging since 2000, mainly by Mugabe's party.
Actual physical violence this time around has been comparatively limited so far but there has been an increase in police action against groups and individuals seen as Mugabe opponents, including the arrests on March 17 of Beatrice Mtetwa, Zimbabwe's most prominent human rights lawyer, and four senior staffers of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, Mugabe's main rival.
Mugabe is to announce an election date in consultation with the coalition partners, but it is bogged down in technicalities. Under the constitution, new elections must be held within 90 days of June 29, when the term of the current parliament expires and the body is automatically dissolved. Mugabe wants the poll as soon as possible. Tsvangirai says it would be late July at the earliest but it could come as late as September.
Mtetwa, held in jail for eight days, appeared briefly in a Harare court Wednesday on charges of obstructing justice that carry a penalty of a fine or up to two years imprisonment. Prosecutors said they were not ready to go to trial and the hearing was put off to Monday. She denies the charges and says she only demanded to see a police search warrant when officers combed through offices of Tsvangirai's communications unit searching for alleged subversive materials and then seized equipment and documents. She said her arrest was a ploy to intimidate democracy activists ahead of new elections.
The police force is generally loyal to Mugabe.
"There will be many more arrests to follow as we near elections. The police were all out to get me," said Mtetwa after her release on bail on March 25. "They wanted me to feel their might and power."
Legal experts dismiss the charges against Mtetwa as spurious, but right groups also warn that more such arrests can be expected.
"We will see more of these kinds of tactics to criminalize key activists. It is a ZANU-PF strategy they are unlikely to stop," said McDonald Lewanika, director of Zimbabwe Crisis Coalition, an alliance of independent rights and civic groups. Lewanika's alliance also alleged that villagers where harvests had failed were made to take part in activities of Mugabe's party in order to receive food aid and school places for their children.
Underscoring how security forces operate with impunity, the African Union's Commission on Human and People's Rights on March 23 said Gabriel Shumba, a well-known human rights lawyer, was arrested in Zimbabwe in 2003 while meeting with a client and was then tortured. Police and intelligence agents threatened Shumba with death, and subjected him to electric shocks, the commission reported, adding that Shumba was doused in chemicals and became incontinent, he vomited blood and was forced to drink his vomit. It said Zimbabwe failed to open an official investigation into Shumba's "torture and trauma" and that it should now do so and prosecute those responsible.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to port a language called Hume to the NXT, and since I'm mainly interested in this language, I'd like to take the lowest layer of leJOS to avoid having to reimplement peripheral handling. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with ARM development, let alone NXT hardware, and I'm running into certain problems I can't solve with fast hacks.
So far what I did was taking the platform/nxt directory, cutting all references to the VM and calling xx_show() to test the core functions. It worked well, so I took my own, apparently well-working program, which sat on top of a little bit of LCD display code yanked from the firmware, and tried to glue it to the leJOS core. The only functions I called were the ones used in xx_show(): display_*() and systick_wait_ms(). However, it simply didn't work. The symptoms were mind-boggling: data aborts at random times, consistently raised somwhere in i2c_timer_isr_C().
I started looking around a bit, and the only possible point of interference I saw was display_update(), more precisely nxt_spi_write(). Since the ISR writes to *AT91C_PIOA_{S,C}ODR, I decided to move their initialisation code inside the loop, so they are set for every byte sent. This seemed to solve the problem momentarily, but as soon as I changed my program a bit, data aborts returned. After this, I found that putting a little delay after each display update helps, but needless to say, I'm not really satisfied with such a fragile hack...
What's the real solution? What rules should I observe while using the core functions in order to avoid such conflicts?

Frustration is an understatement to describe a computer virus and the mayhem that they can cause to your home computer or business network. It is extremely important that you do not procrastinate on fixing a virus infection as it will likely get much worse and possibly cause data loss or hardware failure.
Computer viruses are becoming more and more misleading to consumers as they portray legitimate computer software utilities. Most viruses have the same characteristics and share the same agenda to enter the door to identity theft. Rule of thumb is to always take a good look at software requested to be purchased in order to remove infections.
One thing is for sure, you can trust Ocean Computers to completely remove the virus and infections from your computer.
Spyware is a type of malware (malicious software) installed on computers that collects information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such as key-loggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users.
While the term spyware suggests software that monitors a user's computing, the functions of spyware can extend beyond simple monitoring. Spyware can collect almost any type of data, including personal information like Internet surfing habits, user logins, and bank or credit account information. Spyware can also interfere with user control of a computer by installing additional software or redirecting Web browsers. Some spyware can change computer settings, resulting in slow Internet connection speeds, un-authorized changes in browser settings or functionality of other software.
Sometimes, spyware is included along with genuine software, and may come from an official software vendor. In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification of its included software types is provided by the term privacy-invasive software. In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has become a widely recognized element of computer security practices for computers, especially those running Microsoft Windows. A number of jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which usually target any software that is surreptitiously installed to control a user's computer.

8/17 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1933: In action against the Browns at Sportsman's Park, Lou Gehrig plays his 1'308th consecutive game to break Everett Scott's mark. Lou is 2-for-5. Manager Rogers Hornsby' razzed by the Yankees all afternoon' inserts himself as a pinch hitter with 2 outs in the 10th'
and belts a 3-run homer off Lefty Grove to win the game, 7-6.
On other 17ths of August…
2007: Andy Pettitteis masterful in a 6-1 Yankee win over the Tigers in the Stadium. Mike Mussina, having the worst struggles of his career, surrendered a Carlos Guillen grand slam yesterday, but Andy's five-hitter rights the Yankee ship, and they will win the next three to prevail in yet another four-game series. Third-inning RBI from Bobby Abreu and A-Rod give the Yanks the lead, and Jason Giambi homers twice.
2002: The Yankees defeat the Mariners 8-3, as Alfonso Soriano homers to become the first second baseman ever to hit 30 HRs and steal 30 bases in a season. NY outfielder Bernie Williams singles in his 1st at bat to give him 11 consecutive hits. He gets out his next time up to fall 1 short of the ML record. His 5-for-5 and 4-for-4 in back-to-back games, the first in 45 years, won't be duplicated until the Pirates' Jason Werth matches him in 2007.
2001: Mike Mussina throws 7 shutout innings and the Yankees club 3 homers to beat the Mariners 4-0. Derek Jeter hits a leadoff HR and will do it again tomorrow.
1971: Jorge Posada is born. Happy 41st to our beloved former backstop!
1953: In the second game of a doubleheader at Shibe Park, Bob Kuzava shuts out the Athletics, in spite of the 11 hits that he allows along the way. Whitey Ford had already ridden 11 Yankee safeties to a 10-3 win in the opener.
1967: Ray Caldwell, a mainstay of Highlanders/Yankees pitching staffs from 1910 through 1918, dies at the age of 79.
1948: Tom Henrich hits his 4th grand slam of the season' off the Senators' Sid Hudson, to join Babe Ruth' Lou Gehrig and Rudy York – and later Al Rosen and Ray Boone – for the AL record. Henrich' who broke in with the Ynkees in 1937' had never hit a grand slam before this season. Bob Porterfield wins for New York' 8-1
1944: Yankee outfielder Johnny Lindell, converted from a pitcher last year' hits 4 straight doubles to share a ML mark. The Yanks win 10-3 over the Indians.
1943: In a 4-2 New York win' Nick Etten of the Yankees singles twice off White Sox hurler Bill Dietrich, breaking a 17-game stretch in which Etten didn't single. Six of the games were hitless' but Etten either doubled or homered in the other games. The Yankee lead is now 9 1/2 games, with the Bombers winning their 9th straight series' most of which are now 4 games as a result of wartime travel restrictions. The streak of winning each series will stretch to 13 before being broken by the Senators.
1929: The Yankees buy Lefty Gomez from San Francisco (PCL). The future Hall of Fame pitcher will make his debut with the big club in September 1930.
1923:The Yanks edge the Browns' 5-4 at St. Louis. Babe Ruth hits his 31st home run in the 1st and adds a double in the 8th. After 111 games' the Bambino is hitting .401 with 31 homers. He'll wind up with the hghest BA of his career at 393. With 205 hits' a ML record 170 walks' and 4 times hit by pitches' Ruth will reach base a record 379 times.
1920: Ray Chapman dies as a result of the fractured skull that he received yesterday from a pitch by Carl Mays. In his memory, today's Indians-Yankees match will be postponed.
Mays' a surly' unpopular pitcher' will be the target of fans' and players' outrage. Chapman' a Cleveland favorite since his debut in 1912' had been married the previous year. In October his widow will receive a full World Series share of $3'986.34. The incident has no effect on Mays's pitching. One week later he will blank Detroit 10-0' and go on to win 26 and lose 11. Joe Sewell will be called up to take Chapman's place' and for 14 years he will be the hardest man in baseball to strike out.
1918: The Yankees and White Sox split a pair' with Chicago taking the first game' 7-4' and New York winning the nitecap' 7-2. Frank Shellenback wins for Chicago in the opener' while New York's Slim Love (below) strikes out 12 Sox hitters in the 2nd game' the highest total for the season. Yanks pitcher Ray Caldwell is absent today' reportedly having joined the war effort at a local shipyard.

The eco restaurant was designed specifically to be a traveling show that could be packed up into shipping containers and includes the building structure, stairs for the rooftop access, kitchen, bathroom, bar, furniture and staff change rooms. A rooftop garden will grow some of the restaurant's herbs and veggies, while cooking oil powers a generator. Strawbales are used to insulate some of the walls and the interior is decorated in writing that explains the zero waste policies of the restaurant.
Joost wasn't kidding when he meant zero waste either. Literally, nothing goes to waste. All organic matter, including flatware, is composted for the rooftop garden. Water is collected on site and the toilets are super water efficient and feature a mini-sink that fills the tank for the next flush. Food is sourced seasonally from local farmers, delivered in whole form and processed on site. For example, a wheat farmer brings fresh grains to the restaurant each week, where they are then ground to the desired meal. Wine and beer likewise are delivered and served from kegs or barrels. The menu largely depends on what is available.
Cambells Cove in Sydney is the first stop of Greenhouse by Joost on its international tour. The restaurant will close at the end of March, pack up and head over to Milan for the International Furniture Fair before hitting other major European cities. Better hit up the Sydney location and take advantage of the amazing view.

they could but priority number 1 is profit so they want you to pay extra for the sports pack. Take it up with retention if you don't like it and maybe they will give it to you free for 3 months or something

FSN Ohio is a joke. I can only hope that the issues with Cavs/Jackets, no full-time HD, and other issues get ironed out with the STO buyout.
Don`t forget, people in Cinci also lose Jackets/Cavs games to U. of Cinci basketball sometimes.
Posted 25 February 2013 - 02:08 PM
Not just CLE. We in Philly don't get local games either.
But you`re also not paying the extra couple of dollars per mo. to get the programming.

My neighbor with U-Verse gets both feeds.
Posted 25 February 2013 - 02:16 PM
Why should I have to. Why not just open the FSCinn feed or put it on an alternate channel. They do that for other teams all the time. I am in there home territory. I shouldn't need the sports pack.
You could be like me and many other people in CT(outside of Fairfield county)... We are in the NY territory for the Rangers and Knicks but because either Directv is too cheap to pay or MSG is asking too much to include our zipcodes in their contract with MSG, we get blacked out of the Ranger and Knicks.
It's kind of a slap in the face to the people in the excluded zip codes.

Every time the CAVs play at the same time the BlueJackets play, the Cleveland market gets denied the BlueJackets games. They tell us to tune to FSCin to get the game. We don't get FSCin in Cleveland! Any advice on how to fix this? http://www.foxsports...?blockID=867605
wouldnt there be an alternate channel (besides 661) that shows it?
I know as example the Wild are shown in both MN & WI. When the Bucks play 669-1 (FS Wisco) gets the bucks game and the Wild feed is on an alternate channel (like 680)
Posted 25 February 2013 - 05:45 PM
I know you dont get the station normally but maybe they opened it up just for the game.

Mark, the GAO, DOT&E, NAVAIR, those nasty, bad people that put out SAR reports as naysayers too.
I like the following. There is more here than what the writer may have intended:
When I grew up in the 1950s, America was in a period of greatness, dreaming great dreams and driving towards impossible goals. If we had the internet at that time we would have heard about the constant problems with Air Force, Navy and Army programs and the fundamental failures of the Space programs. Tests constantly failed, pilots died and companies failed in the quest for greatness. In the internet naysayer world, I am not sure this would have been possible.
The difference is today, a Kelly Johnson or Ed Heinemann would have been pushed out of the F-35 program for being:

text: Last night hubby and I went to a Jason Aldean / Luke Bryan concert. It was fun (though in my humble opinion - NO ONE beats Keith Urban concerts ... lol). I didn't have the camera settings right when Luke Bryan played, but corrected it for Jason's portion ... here's a few shots ... had a great time, it was mostly a younger crowd - and lots of lots of over-beered fans . I stood in a big puddle of beer almost the whole night (thanks to the young girl standing beside me - or should I say "swaying" beside me) most of it ran down my leg and to the floor after she dumped it on me! It was fun though, but as always, nice to be back home!

Did all grey Jacadi order up this dashing red stop sign to relieve the greyness?

I Love the French red! Now if I could just find the perfect French red lipstick!ReplyDelete
Love all the great reds, Carol--funReplyDelete
Isnt it funny how a color will come up and hit you in the face sometimes. Red is a powerful color. Reading this made me think of Audrey Hepburn having the 'Mean Reds' in Breakfast at Tiffany's.ReplyDelete
You are one lucky duck if you own the same red Marc Jacobs coat as fr Girl!!!
covet covet covet!
Perfect Red French Lipstick I got suckered into buying in Bergdorfs to match my glasses for KAREN AT FR SKINNY:
37 Rouge Vibrant by T.LeClerc
The 16 Royal is a blue-red if you lean in that direction..
Ah Audrey's 'Mean Reds'...ReplyDelete
Seeing red
I do love red, which must be what I love about Paris no matter
what anyone says
or does
or the weather
or the strikes
or ANYTHING!
so much RED in that town...
And could someone please teach me how to apply perfectly red lips?ReplyDelete
Maybe I should buy a red LV bag... power statement, n'est-ce pas??
Bonjour Carol; Red in so many glorious forms. I am a huge lover of red, especially red in Paris!ReplyDelete
Have a lovely evening ~ Deb

Bonjour Carol,ReplyDelete
C'est au hasard d'une de mes ballades sur le net que je vous ai rencontrée,rencontré votre travail, devrais je préciser,
On ne peut pas l'oublier, il m'a marquée et touchée aussi.
bravo donc et merci pour cette escapade et ces rêves du matin,
Faîtes moi savoir si vous exposez à New York prochainement.
September is a season of rouge! Are the trees participating?ReplyDelete
Great post. I love all of the photos and the colour red.ReplyDelete
Great post Carol. I loved the pictures despite red being one of my least favourite colours. I do like red on other people though I suppose, and can appreciate it, I can't wear it though. And you're quite correct about barber's shops (and poles) they do represent the history of barber surgeons.ReplyDelete
- Leese7:12 AM
I was just catching up on your blog and this post caught my eye...ReplyDelete
It should be fue rouge-- the opposite as in English b/c most of the time the adj comes after the noun (in French) with a few exceptions.
Just thought I'd point it out to you as you accept corrections to your French... : ) Hope all is well and hope you have a great weekend...
So inspiring...thank you for updated us with the latest Francaise trends...ReplyDelete
the last Framboise trend inspired me to be a cute little framboise coin purse...
This rouge post inspired me to get my first Rouge Coco Chanel lipstick en Vendome 25. Merci! Bisous!
