COPD: Pulmonary Rehab an Important Sequel to Hospitalization
Jeannette Y. Wick, RPh, MBA, FASCP
Published Online:
Friday, January 17, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
A study of COPD patients found that, on average, their exercise capacity declined over time and that just 5% enrolled in pulmonary rehabilitation, an intervention that has been shown to improve outcomes.
Exercise capacity is a routine concern for specialists who deal with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They discuss how to measure it, its impact on quality of life, the need for effective interventions to increase it, and how frustrating the issue is for patients and health care providers alike. Without effective COPD management, and often despite effective management, exercise capacity tends to decline over time. When this happens, overall health status declines as well. Declining exercise capacity is also linked to increasing health care costs, failing prognoses, and risk of death.
A team of researchers working under the auspices of Spain's Phenotype and Course of COPD Study Group examined the relationship between hospital admissions and exercise capacity decline in patients with COPD. Their hypothesis was based on the fact that each hospitalization negatively affects functional status and health outcomes; patients suffer loss of muscle tone, spend more time in bed, and are exposed to the possibility of hospital-acquired morbidities.
The researchers enrolled 342 clinically stable COPD patients (92% male, average age 68 years) during their first hospitalization due to COPD exacerbation to look at clinical and functional variables. Approximately a third of participants were current smokers. The researchers measured participants' exercise capacity using the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD). The annual rate of change was calculated by subtracting follow-up 6MWD from baseline 6MWD and dividing by follow-up time (mean 1.7 years). In addition, the researchers tracked hospitalizations using centralized administrative databases.
The researchers reported their
online on January 3, 2014, in the
European Respiratory Journal
. Although around 20% of patients demonstrated increased exercise capacity during follow-up, on average the participants' 6MWD declined approximately 21.9 meters per year. In addition, 153 (45%) patients were hospitalized at least once, half of whom were admitted for COPD-related causes.
Among patients admitted for COPD-related causes, 53% experienced clinically significant 6MWD loss, compared with 29% of those admitted for non-respiratory conditions. After adjusting for confounders, patients who had more than 1 hospitalization for any reason had average annual 6MWD declines that were 26.1 meters greater than those who were not hospitalized. Total duration of hospital stay and the time from hospital discharge to the second evaluation were unrelated to the annual 6MWD decline.
One especially significant finding was that just 5% of participants had enrolled in pulmonary rehabilitation programs at follow-up. Pulmonary rehabilitation, an intervention proven to reduce hospitalizations and deaths and improve quality of life for people with recent COPD flare-ups, is a critical step for patients that should be used routinely. Clinicians need to promote pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients who are hospitalized, ideally enrolling them within days of discharge.

Mike Quade emotional after firing; Epstein seeks manager with major-league experience
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com November 2, 2011 1:40PM

Updated: November 2, 2011 7:27PM
As much as Mike Quade knew it could be coming, being told he was out as the Cubs' manager still hit hard enough to send him to one of his quiet spots on the water for a couple of hours Wednesday.
"I've run the gamut of emotion," said Quade, who was told in person by team president Theo Epstein. "Disappointed, upset, irritated, bitter — a little bit of everything. But it comes with the turf. It hadn't come with the turf at this level ever with me. But it's part of the deal."
In his first big-league managing job, Quade went 95-104 in one full season plus six weeks at the end of 2010. His Cubs finished in fifth place in the National League Central this season at 71-91.
Quade, who hopes to manage again but plans to spend at least the next week or two away from baseball, said he was impressed with the way Epstein handled the process.
They met for more than six hours Thursday in Chicago, and after making the decision, Epstein flew to Florida on Wednesday to tell Quade personally.
"This is a first-class guy, and I appreciated it," Quade said. "It doesn't mean I'm thrilled with the decision. But at least there's a part of me that understands a little bit and appreciates the way it was done."
In a statement released by the Cubs, Epstein is quoted as saying: "While Mike is clearly an asset to any organization and any major-league staff, Jed and I believe that the Cubs would benefit long term from bringing in a manager for 2012 who can come in with a clean slate and offer new direction.
"The managerial search process begins immediately. We are looking for someone with whom and around whom we can build a foundation for sustained success. The next manager must have leadership and communication skills; he must place an emphasis on preparation and accountability; he must establish high standards and a winning culture; he must have integrity and an open mind; and he must have managerial or coaching experience at the major-league level.''
That could put into play another reunion of Boston Red Sox championship colleagues. Epstein's former manager, Terry Francona, requested that his contract with the Red Sox not be renewed.
Francona's bench coach in Boston, Chicago native DeMarlo Hale, also could be a candidate. He was on the list of potential successors for Francona compiled in part by Epstein before he left for the Cubs.
Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon, a finalist for the Red sox job that went to Francona eight years ago, could be the front-runner if the Cubs receive permission to talk to him — assuming Maddon, who's under contract for one more year, is interested.
The Cubs' coaching staff remains in limbo. The team said each coach will be evaluated, with the ultimate decisions likely falling to Quade's successor. Three are under contract for next season: bench coach Pat Listach, hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo and bullpen coach Lester Strode.

Ruth Doesn't Live Here Anymore (2013) is an evening-length trio by Lionel Popkin that questions the acts of cultural sourcing, representation and transmission. Loosely inspired by the career of Ruth St. Denis (1880 or so - 1968), the piece serves as a way for Popkin, who is half Jewish and half Indian, to wrestle with his own uncertainties and awkwardness with representations of South Asia. Miss Ruth revolutionized the concert dance world, first with her "Oriental" dances from the early 1900s and then again from 1914-1931 with the creation of the Denishawn company. Was her Orientalism an act of cultural appropriation or a legitimate examination of sources of dance? Can a century of perspective help the contemporary choreographer reach his own point of equilibrium?
Popkin has foraged through Miss Ruth's archives in L.A., where she died the year before he was born, and examined her journals, photos, programs, sketches, costumes and notes. Her journals (particularly those from the notable Denishawn 1925-26 tour of The Orient) are filled with references to the costumes as the starting places for her dances, and Popkin will follow her through this point of entry. A vast array of fabric and clothing will be strewn across the stage. The performers' attempts to sort through it all function as a metaphor for the way we try to order our messy pasts.
The work will feature an original score by Guy Klucevsek for accordion and violin, which can be played live.
There is an Elephant in this Dance (2009)
Playing off a comically overlarge plush elephant costume, worn in pieces or whole, this vividly imagined, adroitly executed quartet from choreographer Lionel Popkin looks at how an individual body can hold multiple histories and align itself with divergent cultural identities. By turns funny, uncanny and disquieting, "There is An Elephant" abounds with choreographic eloquence, clever direction and thematic layering: It organically elicits a set of meanings both obvious and unspoken, from the pachyderm in religious iconography to expressions of interior personal space.

CORPUS CHRISTI - If you're looking for a job, here's some good news. More jobs are coming to the coastal bend, thanks to a historic investment by an Austrian company.
The company is called Voestalpine, and they're already the largest employer in Austria. Now, they're bringing all that opportunity to the coastal bend.
The company just broke ground on its new plant on the La Quinta ship channel. They'll be offering more than 150 high-paying positions, and over one thousand construction jobs. The company's CEO Wolfgang Eder said it's an almost $800-million dollar investment.
"It's a matter of fact, that it is the largest international investment that we are making," said Eder. "It's the largest investment of an Austrian company here in the U.S."
An investment that many say will be a game-changer for Corpus Christi's unemployed. Eder said for every one open job, another four will be created.
This is definitely a big move for the coastal bend region," said Workforce Solutions spokesperson Monika De La Garza. "Especially affecting people that have not worked in a while, or were laid off. If people are thinking about some type of career change, now is the time."
Many open job positions are already available online, and you can find those here.

Government For The People Is Lost
Posted by NewGuru in 2012 Elections on December 24, 2011
At a time when Americans desperately needed government for the people and by the people, the 2011 Congress failed to deliver on any substantive legislation. No tax reform, no jobs programs and no ethics. Washington ended the year on legislation that typified the self-interests of the Republican Party. Rather than government for We The People, Republicans worked feverishly to appease the lobbyists of We The Few. The end of year disagreements even had Republicans fighting and sniping at each other to the media. This is the chaos that Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell are using to undermine President Obama.
The problem for Boehner and McConnell is that in further hurting their party's image, the Republicans boosted the President's approval rating.
The Republican Party looks to be crumbling at the seams. When Americans go to the polls, please remember the 2011 Congress. If there was ever a stronger case for a Democratic controlled House, Senate and Presidency, the Republicans and Grover Norquist have provided We The People with a clear-cut choice. Will it be Government for We The People or will it be government for We The Few.
We The People should realize that the Republican Party only has the interests of We The Few in mind. We The People must get engaged and stay that way through the 2012 elections. Do not rest until Democrats control the House, the Senate and the Presidency.
If the 2011 Congress were analyzed like a Dow Jones equity, the chart would show a steady but rapid decline. In the eyes of the public, there were no spikes upwards. Congress had to work hard to achieve a 10% approval rating. According to a Gallup Poll, only 32% of Americans thought Congressmen were ethical and honest.
The only thing Republicans were able to agree upon was their desire to unseat the President. They showed a willingness to throw We The People under the bus in their quest. Republicans presented obstacle after obstacle to damage the economy and make We The People suffer more so that a Republican would replace Obama in 2012. Yet, every time a Republican debate took place, the President's stock increased. The Republican candidates for Presidency were as dysfunctional as the party itself.
Since taking office in 2009, the President has faced many challenges. Unfortunately, he underestimated the severity of the economic times. Perhaps, he was not sure how to react to the crisis that swept the country. When he had a majority in both Houses of Congress, he used his political capital to pass Obamacare, a top component on his platform.
His vision for medical insurance for the nation was a strong campaign promise. The timing for this initiative was bad. Rather than focus on employment programs that might have boosted and economy and improved the nation's infrastructure, Obama turned to his health program.
No President in the last sixty years inherited such a mess. George W. Bush and his Republican cronies left the country with two unfunded wars, a rapidly increasing budget deficit and a financial and housing crisis created by the lack of regulation, a Republican mandate. Bush's response to the global crisis was to pour taxpayer money into the banking sector. He extended the Bush tax cuts at exactly the time these cuts should have been allowed to expire. However, the Bush Tax Cuts favored We The Few, another Republican mainstay.
Republicans framed the Bush Tax Cuts as the savior of the middle class. According to the Bush – Cheney team, the cuts were a good thing. The beneficiaries of these relaxed taxes would enable We The Few to become aggressive "job creators."
The jobs never came as millionaires and billionaires pocketed the money Bush, Boehner and McConnell said would be invested in American jobs.
After stabilizing the banking sector, credit markets remained entwined in a web of failing mortgages, high unemployment, diminishing GDP and a housing crisis that the country had never-before experienced. Sadly, the Republicans and Bush perpetuated the housing crisis by nationalizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the largest holders of bad debt mortgages in the nation. This means that We The People are paying for the flawed lending practices that profited Wall Street. Adding the weight of these failing mortgages to the taxpayer's damaged 401(k's) and other retirement funds was simply too big a cargo.
Republican programs for We The Few destroyed middle America's safety net, the equity in their homes.
Meanwhile, the very banks that perpetuated the housing crisis began to record huge profits. Equally disturbing were the phenomenal size of bonuses these corporations paid to the very bankers who caused the recession. In a dormant state of non-growth in GDP, financial institutions and local governments began to lay off millions of Americans.
Amazingly, not one of these corrupt bankers was imprisoned. In fact, these bankers were living the high life as the middle class continued to pay the price for the lavish wages paid to unscrupulous people. This was not capitalism. This was malicious greed with volumes of moral hazard and amble doses of betrayal.
What began to evolve from this predicament was a caste system never-before experienced in the U.S. The distance between We The People and We The Few has never been as wide as it is now. Moreover, the widening trend continues.
To make sure this deep divide stayed that way, Grover Norquist pressed Republican politicians on all levels of government to abide by the Norquist pledge that there would be no tax increases in any new legislation. Most of the Republicans that signed this pledge did not indicate their intent to do so prior to taking office. This dilemma left constituencies questioning their choices.
In the 2010 elections, an activist group called the Tea Party ousted Democrats in the House giving Republicans a majority. The Democrats retained a narrow majority in the Senate. Without 60 votes, Democrats fell prey to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's call for filibuster. In fact, the Senate was neutered.
The effect of the Tea Party and the pledge by The Speaker of the House and the Minority Speaker in the Senate to limit President Obama to one term at all costs created strategic gridlock meant to damage the President's credibility. Republicans used their newfound power to show their disdain for the middle class, the unemployed and the needy in 2010.
With 7 million unemployed Americans needing an extension of the unemployment benefits, Republicans vowed to allow the benefits to expire beginning in 2010. However, if the President would extend the Bush Tax Cuts for We The Few, Republicans would extend the unemployment benefits for We The People. This was a bitter pill for the President, but he swallowed and saved the benefits for middle America. The Bush Tax Cuts are set to expire at the end of 2012.
From the passage of those two programs, Congress became irreparably broken. Republicans viewed the President as soft. They saw an opening and struck. Republicans realized that Obama was for We The People. Republicans used the President's commitment to We The People as his Achilles Heel. Anytime they wanted legislation, Republicans would hold We The People hostage.
The Republican willingness to hold We The Peope hostage has been the only consistent theme of this Congress.
Speaker of The House, John Boehner, welcomed a large freshman class in January 2011. Boehner vowed great things in 2011. What the seasoned Boehner did not understand was that the Tea Party did not like his politics or Bush or Obama. Under the guise of financial credibility, the Tea Party was poised to assault the middle class and prevent passage of any legislation about jobs.

In April 2011, the Congress and the President locked horns over spending. Republicans favored deep cuts to education, Medicare, Medicade and an overhaul of the Social Services benefit system. Planned parenthood and the right to abortions also came into play. This time, Republicans broadened their sights. They used the leverage of a government shut-down to gain a $38 billion reduction in spending.
Voters watched these events unfold and became uncomfortable with the rhetoric and the dysfunction in Washington.
The bitter divide in Congress gained traction during the subsequent Debt Ceiling talks. The President wanted a sweeping, balanced effort to dramatically trim the fat off the budget. Republicans favored spending reductions without any tax increases. This debate reached ugly in a heartbeat. It was apparent that the far right-wing of the Republican caucus intimidated the less conservative Republicans.
The Tea Party had control of the party and Boehner was rendered useless. As 2011 winds down, Boehner will be remembered as the most ineffective leader of the most ineffective House in the history of the nation. During the debt ceiling crisis, Boehner's role as tightrope artist played out in full view of the public.

During the crisis, Boehner met with President Obama and crafted a $4.2 trillion deficit reduction package. The President and Boehner agreed to a package that the country needed to stave off a credit reduction. However, when Boehner presented the plan to his caucus it was rejected.
In their deficit reduction package, there would be increased revenue generated by a small increase in taxes to millionaires and billionaires. All the Republicans who signed the Norquist pledge were put on the spot to either pass legislation with some increased taxes that would benefit the country or honor their Norquist pledge.
Boehner failed to rally his caucus around this powerful deficit reduction initiative. The country was poised to show the world that the USA stood ready to tackle its debt in a responsible manner. When Boehner refused to accept calls from the President, it was clear that he had no control over House Republicans.
The net effect of this debt ceiling fight was that for the first time in the history of the Republic the USA lost its treasured AAA credit rating; an event Republicans considered minor.
Congress pushed the American public to the limits when several high-profile Republicans indicated that they were willing to default on our national debt. The public's ire over this irresponsible mindset began to surface. Boehner became a tainted leader of a tainted majority. Rumors of a change in leadership in the House started to circulate. The Tea Party's, Eric Cantor, was often mentioned as a replacement for Boehner.
Boehner's embarrassing inability to get his caucus to accept his own spending plan, not only stunned Americans but triggered red flag warnings around the globe. On paper, a 10-year $917 billion spending cut was passed. The parties agreed to another $1.2 trillion in cuts which would be decided by a Super Committee before the 1st of December. In the event of an inability to agree on cuts, provisions were implemented to trim $1.2 trillion in spending cuts without further approval. The majority of these fixed cuts were in defense.
Another effect of the failed debt ceiling package was that the country's credit was lowered by Standard & Poor's.
To the country, it was now perfectly clear that Washington was in chaos. A familiar pattern had evolved. All legislation was only dealt with in the final hours. Every significant legislative initiative was flawed. Most were temporary band aids. The citizenry was appalled by the continued cross-party assaults.
As Congress was coming apart at the seams, the President took to the road. He took his We The People vision to communities across the country. His message began to resonate.
During the Summer, Republicans opposed labor rights for a relatively small group of air service providers. Opposition to labor rights was part of the Tea Party mantra. In this argument, Congress caused a partial shutdown of Federal Aviation Services.
Newly elected Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, a Tea Party member was busy denying state employees their rights to collective bargaining. Walker is now facing a recall. In Wisconsin, Republicans can expect a big backlash from Walker's actions.
Republicans refused to give the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) additional funds to assist communities suffering from flooding and damage from hurricanes. When FEMA announced the agency had enough funding to get to the beginning of the new fiscal year, last-minute temporary funding was approved while politicians agreed to settle their differences in upcoming months.
Again, the pattern of last-minute negotiations and temporary band aids reared its ugly head. Americans were uncomfortable with this method of government.
When the Congressional super-committee was unable to find common ground on a deficit reduction plan, the dysfunction in Congress caused unified disdain. Again, there was a flurry of last-minute negotiations but this time there were no results. Therefore, the already agreed-upon cuts including significant cuts to military spending were imposed. This dysfunction spurred the Occupy Wall Street movement which spanned across the country.
Public opinion swooned further when 60 minutes released a report that members of Congress were reaping big profits by using insider-trading to fill their pockets.
To cap off the year, Republicans in Congress put tax increases for 160 million Americans on the table. Republicans were also agreeable to terminating unemployment benefits to millions of other Americans. This time Republicans in the Senate fought with Republicans in the House.
Smug Eric Cantor stood behind Boehner at every press opportunity. His devilish grin angered struggling Americans who had expected the Senate's extensions to be temporarily extended. Boehner found himself squeezed by Cantor and his allies and the Senate Republicans and by the American public who helplessly watched this dysfunctional group play their hands.
John McCain, Mitch McConnell had no defense for the House Republicans. Even Donald Trump disavowed the GOP.
As the congressional approval rating fell below 10 percent, the President's approval rating climbed to 50%. Rather than listen to Republican rhetoric, Americans supported their President. Obama's commitment to take his message to We The People was working.
The President has come across as a solid man with a vision that would balance the playing field between We The People and We The Few. This President has a balanced approach to government. Looking at the Republican candidates for the Presidency, Americans should be nervous. If Republicans have the House, the Senate and the Presidency, We The People have no cause for hope. We can expect another war, failed tax policies, damage to the environment, unregulated practices in the financial industry and continued high unemployment.
To restore dignity to We The People, a Democratically controlled House, Senate and Presidency are necessary. When Americans go to the polls, they must remember the Payroll Tax Cut and Unemployment Insurance extensions. Voters who remember the insanity caused by Boehner and Cantor and McConnell should act to eliminate the Tea Party, Norquist supporters in favor of a functional body that serves We The People. Think about this.
A functional government for We The People is what We The Few fears more than anything else.
House GOP No Substance, All Talk
House Majority Speaker John Boehner says Americans should not worry. One arm of the most dysfunctional Congresses in history is at work. Really? On What?

Today, Republican House members tabled the Senate's bi-partisan payroll tax cut extension and the unemployment benefits extension. These bills were passed by the Senate in a decisive bi-partisan vote of 89 – 10. For the 2011 Senate, the margin of approval for the bills was astounding.
Failure to extend the payroll tax cut will result in 160 million Americans paying between $1,000 and $2,500 more in 2012. Millions more Americans will lose 40 weeks of unemployment benefits. Passage of the Senate bill would have granted the continuation of these benefits.
Republicans fail to acknowledge that the payroll tax cut has successfully added jobs and increased take home pay while encouraging small businesses to hire. The country is inching out of the recession. Unemployment rates are decreasing. Housing is getting a bounce. The GDP is off the dime and growing more quickly than expected.
This fragile recovery serves We The People well, but is not to the Republican's benefit.
The only consistent policies from Republicans is their commitment to replacing President Obama while protecting millionaires and billionaires. To advance these two goals, Republicans and Tea Party politicians have been willing to undermine the economy and intimidate the middle class and the poor; the most vulnerable Americans.
The essential terms of the Senate bills included:
- Two month extension of the payroll tax reduction.
- Two month extension of long-term unemployment.
- An agreement to discuss the Keystone XL Pipeline.
The Senate passed the extension plan and promptly left town assuming that the House would realize the strong Senate support for the bills and approve them. This is where things get sticky.
Majority Leader Boehner and Tea Party big shot Eric Cantor refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Instead, House members opted to move to conference with the Senate in the hopes of carving out a one-year deal. Of course, the Senate went home understanding that their bill had Boehner's blessing.
New York first-term Congressman Michael Grimm was interviewed Tuesday morning. During the interview, Grimm voiced the Republican spin on why the bill would not reach the floor. The newest Republican spin is that the House rejects a two-month extension during which time final details of the bill would be negotiated. The extension is called "kicking the can" down the road.
In a midday speech, Boehner called upon the Senate to reconvene and conference with House members to finalize a one-year bill. Boehner's premise that the bill that passed the House was more than an extension of the payroll tax cuts.
No matter what you hear, the elephant in the room is the Keystone XL pipeline.
Republicans downplay the addition of this contingency to what should have been an up or down vote on the payroll tax cut and the extension of unemployment benefits. As described by the State Department, the pipeline does not have EPA approval. The State Department's report indicates that the pipeline will create between 3,500 – 4,000 jobs.
What the pipeline will do, is increase the international export business. It will also diminish the supply of the Canadian tar sand oil to farmers in the midwest. The State Department estimates that the farm belt can expect to pay $0.20 per gallon more than they now pay.
Let's be clear. Most of the oil provided under the Keystone XL pipeline will be shipped abroad and not used to reduce American energy costs. So, if the environment is to be endangered and there are very few jobs connected to the pipeline and if American fuel prices will increase, not decrease, why are Republicans pushing to accelerate the Keystone XL?
You know, don't you? Of course, the Republicans are pushing for passage of the Pipeline at an accelerated pace because big oil will reap big profits; not We The People. Once again, the Republicans have included a project, that will benefit We The Few, to a bill that puts money in the economy right now. Can there be any doubt about the Republican agenda? House Republicans are shown their immoral persona one more time. They take huge amounts of money from big oil and they refuse tax breaks for working Americans. Congress pads their pockets with insider trading and charge taxpayers for their time. Seems like a good job, don't you think? Of course, Congress passed legislation banning insider trading but it does not apply to Congress.
It is Republicans that have caused the country's credit rating to fall. It is Republicans that held American workers hostage by only agreeing to extend the unemployment benefits if the Bush Tax Cuts were extended in 2009. The Tea Party has vowed to oppose all tax increases. But, when an extension of the payroll tax cut was on the table, Republicans suddenly changed direction. They opposed the Payroll Tax Cut for two reasons.
- The payroll tax cut was working.
- Extended unemployment benefits pump money into the economy.
Republicans added the pipeline to their bill knowing full well that the Senate would not approve. The addition of this proposal has clouded the middle class benefits and small business hiring incentives. House Republicans blocked submitting the bill for an up or down vote. The reason is that Republicans do not want to be on the record for voting against the bill.
A week ago, Speaker Boehner worked with Senate leaders McConnell (R) and Reid (D). Behind closed doors, Boehner agreed to the deal and represented to the Senate leaders that the bill would pass.
It was not that long ago that Boehner and the President ironed out details on a $4.2 spending reduction plan. However, when Boehner took the plan to his caucus, he was forced to change directions. The result was that no plan passed. The end result was that the American credit rating fell. This was the exact outcome that the Tea Party and the Republicans wanted.
Today, the big losers are millions of Americans. There are no winners. Voters must come to realize how dysfunctional the House is. Boehner has no control. He is weak and lacks credibility. He has been the Majority Leader in an arm of Congress that has the lowest approval rating and worst legislation record in the history of the country.
House Whip Eric Cantor looks familiar doesn't he? He is that elementary school bully; the one that does things behind your back. He is the epitome of the sleazy politician. He stands behind Boehner with his chesire cat grin and nods his head because every time Boehner changes direction, Cantor takes one more step toward the Speaker's gavel. He wants Boehner's job and there is no hiding it.
Eric Cantor is a dangerous man. He hides under the cloak of fiscal responsibility in a party that launched two unfunded wars and passed the Bush Tax Cuts at a time when the government needed increased income. These acts, Bush's push to socialize and deregulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pushed the economy and the world to the brink. It is Republicans that caused the socialized relief of the banking sector. It is We The People who bailed out the corrupt banking system.
When we look into the black hole that Republicans created, remember that when George Bush took office, he inherited a budget surplus. He set out to fulfill the big spender Texan appetite and placed the country in an unsustainable position.
Every time poor John Boehner takes the podium, viewers suffer the same symptoms as they do when Rick Perry tries to respond to a question. There is a difference. Perry actually believes in his philosophy. Boehner's political beliefs seem to change after every meeting of his caucus. It is a matter of time before he is replaced and/or has a public tearful breakdown.
NY senior Senator, Chuck Schumer, said that just last week, Boehner attended a meeting with Senate leaders Reid and McConell. He left the meeting giving McConnell his proxy. McConnell and Reid agreed to the revisions and the Senate passed the bill 89-10. This margin rarely happens.
Adding insult to injury, Boehner now says he never liked the Senate bill. Untrue! Perhaps he should stayed at the meeting and saved face. Could he have had a golf date? One look at Boehner tells you where he spends most of his day. The position of the House has now caused a rift between Senate Republicans and House Republicans.
In summary, the losers are the middle class, the elderly, the infirmed, the poor and John Boehner. The Speaker's integrity has suffered. His credibility in his own party is shattered. Meanwhile, Eric Cantor is several steps closer to the Speakership. If you want to untangle Congress, vote Boehner, Cantor and Tea Party candidates out…
Reid To Push Payroll Tax Cut
The Sunday morning talk shows were aglitter with Republicans Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul vying for humiliated Herman Cain's supporters to jump aboard their campaigns. In what has become an almost comical sideshow the Republicans stand firmly divided about their presidential candidate. The possibility of Ron Paul running independently must sound like a musical dream to Democrats. If the stakes were not so high, the Republican performers could easily outdo their Saturday Night Live impersonators.
But, the stakes are high, very high. The tragedy is that the world's greatest democracy is behaving like a third world government or, worse yet, Greece. The extension of the payroll tax cuts is just one more example of how divisive politics in Washington have become. First the Senate rejected the Democratic proposal to extend the payroll tax cut and pay for it on a tax for millionaires. Last Thursday, the Republican proposal to pay for the extension by freezing federal employee salaries and reducing the work force by 10% failed miserably.
The payroll tax cut is due to expire on December 21, 2011. On Thursday, the Republican proposal sank when 29 Republicans jumped ship. Undoubtedly, Republicans are in a quandary. They have painted themselves into a corner on this one and cannot reconcile how the payroll cut could not receive support without costing thousands of federal employees their jobs.
This tax cut impacts the taxpayer's take-home pay. If the extension is not granted, everyday household income will decline about $1,500 in 2012. Republicans are quick to say the payroll tax cut has not been effective. Democrats rightly point to the explosive holiday shopping season and economist's predictions that 4th quarter GDP will rise 3 percent.
The Republicans took another hit on Friday when the U.S. Labor Department published its Non-Farm Payroll report for November. 120,000 new private sector jobs were created. Additionally, hefty adjustments to September and October payroll reports helped to drive the unemployment rate down to 8.6 percent. In November another 315,000 persons stopped looking for work. Republicans suggest that these are discouraged workers. Maybe, maybe not. At this time of year, there exist ways for workers to work "under the table."
In any case, the facts are clear. The unemployment rate is down and GDP is growing. All this despite coordinated attacks by Republicans against the will of the people and contrary to the best interests of the people they are sworn to represent. In reality, the Republicans are more concerned with denying President Obama a second term than they are to legislate responsibly.
The Republicans emit so many objections that they now seem to be disputing the very tax cuts that they have supported in the past. How extending the payroll tax cut violates the Republican mandate, Grover Norquist's pledge, is confusing, even to the pledge signers. Voting against extending the payroll tax cut is contrary to the Norquist pledge.
The behavior is so out-of-character that even John Boehner slipped and stated that the payroll tax extension had merit. He may live to eat those words when the likes of Eric Cantor and his Tea Partiers oppose the extension. With every Democratic proposal, the Republicans appear unorganized, out-of-sync and flailing for more negative input. Thankfully, many conservatives are making it clear that their Tea Party has run its course.
The public view of Congress is that this is the least effective Congress in the history of the nation. The national approval rating is dwindling to new lows and resides uncomfortably below 10 percent. Undeterred by the reality that only one in ten Americans think the Congress is functional, the Tea Party continues their barrage of assaults on well-intentioned members of Congress. No wonder Boehner is confused. He has never been subjected to such a self-imploding body of government.
Republicans hate that the country is recovering at a slow pace without any help from Congress. Imagine where we would be with a functional Congress!
Let's not forget the recent 60 minute documentary that confirmed that members of Congress were permitted to use insider training to bolster their income. The revelation that 40 members of Congress have become millionaires while serving the people shocked most voters but might help explain the disconnect. Most likely, the effects of the recession and the unregulated subprime mortgage crisis, served these insiders well. No wonder the Republicans want less regulation and no tax increases for millionaires. Those initiatives are too close to home.
Republicans are so far removed from constructive governing that they have lost their way. Instead, they have turned against the very people who elected them. Congress works in an environment that is totally removed from Main Street. Fortunately, it is in the best interests of Wall Street and the too large financials to extend the tax cut. Perhaps Majority Leader Reid's new proposal, which will be paid for, will get enough support from the other side of the aisle. Then, we will have to go through the uncomfortable tragedy that is the Republican controlled House of Representatives.
This has the makings for another perfect storm. One in which Boehner knows the right course but can not sell it to his Republican allies.
Bigger fights are in the immediate future. Not only is the payroll tax cut about to expire but so are long-term unemployment benefits for million of Americans. The last time around, Congress held the gun to Obama's head. Republicans were set to deny 7 million unemployed workers their benefits. The President was held hostage. He grudgingly agreed to extend the Bush Tax Cuts that helped the wealthy Republicans reap big rewards with inappropriate tax cuts while the country was engaged in two Republican wars. This was Republican George Bush's formula that jumped started deficit spending.
The fact is that Congress will be gridlocked until the President is supported by a majority in both chambers. While we cannot wait until the next election, we cannot compromise. If Republicans cannot respond favorably to the payroll tax cut, unemployment extension and the Bush Tax Cuts, the President should allow them to expire. That would create a $4 trillion windfall to help reduce the deficit and to fund worthwhile job initiatives.
If we cannot succeed with bi-partisan efforts, we must vote these dissenters out of office.
Republicans are uniform that the Bush Tax cuts help high income earners create jobs. Really? It is impossible to see job creation linked to the Republican tax cuts. It sure is easy to see that the middle class is dwindling and that the poverty that does not exist in Congress is running rampant in the home districts of these self-helped millionaires. With 44 million American families and 21 million American children living in poverty and with another 45 million middle class families trending toward poverty, how can Republicans look themselves in the mirror?
If things do not change, we may well revisit the 60′s protest era. Who amongst us believes Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich will help the middle class or the impoverished? It will not happen. When considering all the political possibilities, nothing could be more treacherous and fill the streets with violent protest than Newt or Mitt presiding over a country with a Republican House and a Republican Senate. It does not get any more dangerous than that.

Hawks must work hard to keep pace in rugged West
BY MARK LAZERUS Staff Reporter December 23, 2013 9:40PM
Updated: January 25, 2014 6:31AM
The Blackhawks have the highest-scoring team in the league, and have lost just seven times in regulation through the first three months. Yet the Hawks aren't even the top team in the incredibly deep Western Conference, passed over by the Pacific Division's red-hot Anaheim Ducks, who won their ninth consecutive game Monday.
"St. Louis isn't far behind, either," defenseman Johnny Oduya said. "That's just the way it's going to be. We're just trying to win as many games as possible."
Swapping sides
Brandon Saad has played right wing since Bryan Bickell returned from his knee injury. And while Saad said it's been an adjustment, coach Joel Quenneville said he could switch back to his natural spot on the left side at any time, with Kris Versteeg (currently the second-line left wing) a logical person with whom to swap spots.
"I liked that option of him being over there and making our lines a little bit deeper down there," Quenne-ville said. "I can see the lines changing, where he'll get back on the left. But he's been fine on the right."
Sock it to him
Devils winger Jaromir Jagr, who's been in the league since 1990, didn't wear socks during the morning skate.
"I wear no socks in practice, I wear two [pairs of] socks in game — strange, huh?" he said. "I'll tell you why. Because I don't want to feel good in practice. I want to feel bad. So in the game, it's mentally helping me. I feel bad, then I feel a lot better than [I do] in practice. That's why I do it."

The parent app
Rochester, N.Y. A new app on the market is bringing back the traditional family dinner, and giving parents control of how much their kids use technology.
The Parent App is hoping to solve problems that families have when the kids spend most of their time with their eyes glued to a screen. Once the free app is installed on the kids phones, the parents phones become remote controls.
If you click dinner time the kids phones go into lockdown for an hour.
If mom thinks that the kids need a break from technology, she can tap take a break and the phone locks.
For most parents though, the real issue is bedtime. Now parents can lock the phones from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., without having to take the phone away.
The app is limited in that parents can have an iPhone, but the kids must have Android devices for the app to function.
iPhones and iPod Touches will not run the app, and according to the app creator, thats because of Apples strict rules about remote access through apps.

Clinical trials for prostate cancer
You may have had to make a lot of decisions since you've been told you have cancer. One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing which treatment is best for you. You may have heard about clinical trials being done for your type of cancer. Or maybe someone on your health care team has mentioned a clinical trial to you.
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done with patients who volunteer for them. They are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures.
If you would like to take part in a clinical trial, you should start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service for a list of clinical trials that meet your medical needs. You can reach this service at 1-800-303-5691 or on our website at http://clinicaltrials.cancer.org. You can also get a list of current clinical trials by calling the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service toll-free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or by visiting the NCI clinical trials website at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.
There are requirements you must meet to take part in any clinical trial. If you do qualify for a clinical trial, it is up to you whether or not to enter (enroll in) it.
Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. Sometimes they may be the only way to get some newer treatments. They are also the only way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
You can get a lot more information on clinical trials in our document called Clinical Trials: What You Need to Know. You can read it on our website or call our toll-free number (1-800-227-2345) and have it sent to you.

I used DMC for the face and hands and DMC Color Variation for the baskets, hair, etc. I used overdyed floss that my sis and I played around with with great results. I don't recall what the fabric could be. Paulette Stewart's company name is Plum Street Samplers.
From the Feb 07 Just Cross Stitch magazine. Stitched with DMC Color Variations, 2 DMC greens and DMC 712 #12 perle. Stitched on 28 count "coffee" material. I think it's either Jubilee or Jobelan, but more likely Jubilee. The design called for 2 ply 712 floss. Didn't like the look so cut it out and replaced it with the perle.
Over the weekend I stitched 4 of these with different coloured handles and threads. This overdyed fabric might be Snickerdoodle. Free design from the Patrick's Woods website.
This was a kit and I used the Crescent Colors that were included except for the pink for her face, arms and legs. Stitched on 32 count dirty/raw/natural linen with metallic threads woven in.
Stitched on 32 count linen perhaps Flax with DMC, GAST, Weeks and Valdani Flosses.
Stitched on a 32 count linen, perhaps Flax with DMC, GAST, Weeks and Valdani threads. You can stitch them across as I did or vertical or individual.
This wee kit was a gift. The kit included the fabric, beads and flower button. I used DMC floss. Started Jan. 2/14 and finished Jan. 3/14. Don't have a clue how I'll finish it up at this time.
Stitched on 32 count Belfast linen with floss I picked out. Finished it about an hour before midnight New Year's Eve. Watch out for that bottom border. It's not the same as the top nor is it the same as in the picture. From 2011 Just Cross Stitch Special Ornament book. Cynthia Daly Bradford is Little by Little Design Co.
Aren't they sweet? The piece of 18 count dove grey Davos was large enough to stitch two; one for my DIL and one for me. Used gold blending filament instead of 413 for her dress and 221 instead of 413 again for the sleees. From book 30 from 1986 "Gentle Harvest". They'll be made into little ornament pillows.
Another piece I had started and put aside. This kit came with 2 pieces of linen and Soie d'Alger silks from Keinik. I'm going to stitch one of the bands on the plain piece of linen before finishing it up as the accent.
A friend told me about these free charts at Sharon Bennett's blog. She's also known as Daffycat and has offered these reindeer over the years. Stitched on Amber 28 count linen using DMC floss. This one is going to have a fancy edge and made into a bellpull.
A friend told me about the Daffycat blog last year. If you asked you got a free chart. The Tree Reindeer is this year's free one. Sharon kindly flipped the 2012 for me. Stitched on overdyed 18 count fabric with DMC floss. My friend finishes things so nicely, so I'm letter her finish it up the way she wants. Anxious to see the result.
I just picked floss colours I had on hand from other Christmas projects instead of the called for GAST threads. Used 32 count Lambswood linen. Haven't decided if it's to be framed or made into a small pillow.
Stitched on 18 count Khaki Davos with DMC threads. It's to be a door pillow for my middle son.
Stitched on 32 count Driftwood Belfast with DMC floss. Have to do the finishing as a door knob pillow.
The moment I saw this chart, I ordered it from my LNS. I used DMC floss tweeded for the house and the blue/black border around the words. Used solid DMC for the deep rose flowers and the vine. Also used some Valdani threads that I had on hand. Stitched on 32 count fabric from an estate that had a bit of stitches completed that I removed. This is a newer designer. Enjoyable stitch too. Do you see the date? 11/12/13
This was my Sunday project for a long time. Finished it this past Sept. Sandy Orton from Kooler Design Studio did the adaptation. Used the DMC threads from the kit and the 28 count fabric. They were quite skimpy with the fabric. The words prompted me to buy the kit.
Once I found the needleroll and stitched it, I got this out and started and finished it too using all the items in the kit.
I bought this kit in Oct. 99 at Stitchvilee USA in Mpls. Stitched it this past summer using the DMC floss and linen from the kit. It too can be either a pin cushion or sachet.
Another Beyond Cross Stitch kit from Victoria Sampler using all the items in the kit. I suppose you could call these samplers in a way as they are a sample of various stitches.

Gracious God,
You call us daily to transformation.
We are always on the way.
We know that we never fully actualize our true potential.
Continue to stir our hearts with a desire
to become fully human and alive
so that the world will be a better place
by our passion to be more than we are.
This prayer captures a fundamental truth of who we are as human beings. Each of us possesses the capacity to grow, to be transformed, to create or to destroy. As Christians we believe that we are creatures who are made in the image and likeness of God. As co-creators with God, we have a natural inclination to seek growth, to make something out of our life, to be generative and to make a difference through our relationships with others and our world. Whenever we take a creative pause to reflect on what life is all about, we immediately discover that life is not a static reality but a dynamic one of transformation. For example, our human growth from being a baby to becoming an adult underscores this process of ongoing transformation from a biological point of view.
Quincy University invites students, faculty and staff into a process of ongoing transformation. As a Franciscan school of higher learning, we seek to empower each other to strive to live life to the full, to have a sense of wonder and awe, and to cultivate an openness and receptivity to encounter new people, viewpoints, perspectives, ways of being, doing and living. For this to happen one must then be willing to take a risk and to leave one's comfort zone for transformation to occur.
The story of St. Francis of Assisi's encounter with a leper expresses well how one can be transformed by another human being. As a youth and a young man the sight of lepers nauseated him and he found them repulsive. While riding his horse through the countryside one day, he encountered a leper. His initial reaction was to ride away from the leper, as he had often done in the past. However, on this occasion he chose to face his fear of lepers. He dismounted his horse and went up to the leper, deposited coins in the leper's hand and embraced him. This experience radically transformed his life. In his Testament St. Francis writes:
"The Lord gave me, Brother Francis, thus to begin doing penance (to live a life of transformation) in this way: for when I was in sin (ignorance), it seemed too bitter for me to see lepers. And the Lord Himself led me among them and I showed mercy to them. And when I left them, what had seemed bitter to me was turned into sweetness of soul and body."
St. Francis, for the first time, saw his brother and sister in the leper and those of his time who lived on the fringe of society in the 13th Century. If St. Francis had not taken the risk to step out of his comfort zone and to be receptive to the possibility of being changed through the encounter, he would never actualized his potential to see everyone and all that exists as his brother and sister who deserves respect and to be treated with dignity.
Quincy University offers the environment and the opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, for intellectual, spiritual, emotional and social transformation. As a Franciscan Institution, Quincy University believes that every person is a special reflection of God's goodness and beauty in the world. Each of us then spends our life discovering and becoming that special gift and blessing, while we accompany others on the same journey. This self- actualization comes only through ongoing transformation. It is the hope and prayer of the University Community that each of us never loses the thirst and the desire to want to live life to the full, to be touched and to be possibility changed and enriched by ones daily life experience. Without ongoing transformation life becomes stagnate and lifeless. God created us for transformation so that we never stop entering into the mystery of life. Quincy University is definitely about cultivating a transformative life.
May God's transforming grace always and everywhere recreate us anew,
now and forever.
Fr. John Doctor, O.F.M.
Vice President for Mission and Ministry

Had a fantastic evening at O2 Islington, class venue. It goes without saying that Beardyman was amazing. Wasn't sure what to expect from the warm ups but they both smashed it. Sam and the woop were a jazz/dubstep band, what a combo it turned out to be. JfB was equally… (cont'd) Andy from Sittingbourne

Hopefully Dr Lipton will check in with actual knowledge. But as a bear
of very little brain, doesn't the bubbly process just trap the CO2?
Still wine produces same amount, just released to atmosphere?

EEAS Building, 9A Rond Point Schuman - 1000 Brussels
EU policy aims at assisting Libya in its efforts to establish a democratic, stable and prosperous State. This involves promoting democratic transition, based on an inclusive constitution, the emergence of strong, transparent and accountable institutions, an alert civil society and a vibrant private sector.
EU engagement with Libya has developed along four main axes:
The EU has engaged with Libyan authorities: at a bilateral level (including appointment of EU Special Envoy for Libya); in international meetings (Paris, London, Rome, Madrid) to discuss government policy and international support to Libya; and through support to UN mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
In the absence of an Association Agreement with the EU, Libya remains outside most of the structures of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). However, it is eligible for funding under the new European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) and the ENI's regional programmes, in addition to thematic assistance programmes – for example, on human rights or migration.
The EU's total programme in Libya now stands at €108 million. It focuses on public administration, security, democratic transition, civil society, health, vocational training and education. This is in addition to the €80.5mdisbursed for humanitarian assistance during the 2011 revolution. More information on EU assistance to Libya can be found here.
A deterioration in the security situation in Tripoli since July 2014 has led to the temporary relocation of staff from EUDEL and EUBAM to Tunis and Brussels, until security conditions allow their return.
The EU is actively supporting UNSMIL's efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire and resume the political process.

RELEASED: Oct. 14, 2011
EAU CLAIRE — "Waiting for 'Superman'" (2010) — "a powerful and alarming documentary about America's failing public school system" (The New York Times) — will be presented Oct. 27-30 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Directed by Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth"), the film will screen at 6 and 8:30 p.m. in Davies Theatre.
Guggenheim's first nonfiction film, "The First Year" (1999), chronicled the tales of five first-year teachers in some of America's toughest schools and went on to receive a Peabody Award. A decade later, with his own children in private schools, Guggenheim was spurred to see what had changed in the battered public school system. What he found brought about this controversial documentary that analyzes the state of public education in America.
"Waiting for 'Superman'" received the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and film critic Roger Ebert named it one of the best documentaries of 2010. The film is screening in conjunction with the Nov. 1 Forum lecture by social innovator Bill Strickland, who is featured briefly.
Sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate, the 111-minute film is rated PG.
Admission is free at the door with a Blugold Card or International Film Society membership. Community members who wish to attend campus films can purchase an annual IFS membership at the Service Center (715-836-3727) in Davies Center's east lobby. An individual membership costs $4, and a family membership is $10.
More information about campus films is available online and at the Activities, Involvement and Leadership office in Davies Center 133.

|I have an open concept floor plan where the kitchen is open to the breakfast area and family room. I will have 2 of the Clemson pendants over the kitchen island and 2 of the firefly chandeliers over a long rectangular table in the breakfast area. Just wanted to get some feedback as to whether these styles/finishes match. Thanks!
A few additional details - the kitchen will have white cabinets with Cambria torquay countertops and polished nickel pulls/faucets.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I know you want to hear otherwise, but I don't think they match. The firefly is more contemporary to me with the straight, clean lines and clear glass....
- Posted by gaonmymind (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 20:47
|The firefly doesn't match, But the clear glass kinda makes them disappear. But I am not a fan of the fixture in general.
|Thank you for your input. What type of chandelier do you think would coordinate with the Clemson pendants? My husband wasn't a big fan of the firefly lights. Back to the drawing board....
- Posted by athensmomof3 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 21:40
|Not a fan of the firefly either. The others are fine. I would lean more traditional over the breakfast table as the island ones are fairly traditional but streamlined.
|I agree with athensmom.... Also, I would try to find glass shades that are similarly opaque. I think that will help unite the fixtures.
|ps. you could try cross-posting this on the Home Decorating forum.
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 12 at 7:51
|Would anyone actually put spiral CF lamps in a clear pendant fixture?
- Posted by athensmomof3 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 12 at 12:01
|I would actually not do the glass on the breakfast table. Too matchy matchy for my taste. I would get something without glass. You can stay with the silvery finish but even that isn't necessary (and I probably wouldn't). Maybe a wood fixture with a silvery or burnished gold with silver finish. . . .
- Posted by chicagoans (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 12 at 12:56
|Your picture of the Clemson looks like opaque white glass, but is it actually clearish ribbed like this one? I'm posting it in case it helps others brainstorm a good companion:
If you do a search on houzz.com on "clemson pendant" you'll see some pictures of kitchens that have it plus other kinds of lights, like this picture:
houzz also shows 'related products' at the bottom, like this:
and this Grosvenor downlight which comes in a 3 light and a 1 light; looks brassy here but it also comes in a pewter/dark silver finish:
|Go with something that is similar to your other light fixtures.
There are a few samples in the link.
