August 20: Readington, NJ to Anacortes, WA
Ahhhh….a final summer fling out west to decompress, relax, and enjoy our two pups. Today was filled with long hours of traveling. Getting up at 4 to get to the airport early so that we could check the pups in always takes the most out of me. As with every trip, the folks at PetSafe were good, but they were delayed and slow, taking a good hour to check the pups in. We were able to spend an hour in the United lounge before boarding. I took advantage of the one last seat in first class to upgrade…thank you sweetie! The flight was 5 hours, and I think I slept through most of it. Once in Seattle, we picked up the rental car, then the pups, then the Greyhaven. We headed north towards Burlington, slogging for a few hours through I-5 traffic, and stopped briefly at a Haggen food store for some groceries, then went to the Swanomish Casino/RV park to crash for the evening. Some reading and news, then to bed.
August 21: Anacortes, WA to Burnaby, BC
Faffing day. Shopping for supplies is a necessary evil, but it does eat into the day, and ultimately vacationing. Stops included Home Depot for coax cable, and wood dowels for a larger needlepoint frame for my tapestry work. Then, on to Haggen market for groceries, fresh sushi, and goodies. The weather here in the northwest is cool with temps in the low 70′s and it is often overcast. The forecast calls for similar conditions for the next few weeks. Our generator fuel line is leaking a small amount of gas. Since we are not really using it much, we decided to leave it for now and head north, and later perhaps get it repaired on the way back to Seattle.
We headed north after lunch, and crossed into Canada after a good 45 minute wait at the border crossing. We proceeded to our campground in Burnaby, just 20 minutes east of Vancouver city center and located near a scenic lake. Parking in the narrow hedge-lined site required some skill and backing, but John managed to guide the rig perfectly. Crashed. Walked the pups and then did not have enough energy to make dinner. So, we had a cold meal of thai noodles and bread. To bed early.
August 22 Burnaby, BC
John is not feeling well today…decompression sickness, or perhaps a sinus infection? We decided to rent a car and see a few sites without worrying about the Greyhaven and parking in the city. I took a cab from the campground to a local Enterprise in Burnaby. Back to the RV park to have some lunch, fresh shrimp and oriental salad. We then ventured into Vancouver, heading first to the 'jewel in the crown' Stanley Park. Touted as one of the finest city parks in North America, it is a sprawling peninsula situated in the heart of the city and boasts many different ecosystems and attractions. There are huge redwood trees, deep northwest pine forests, a small rainforest area, an aquarium, beaches, all ringed by a fabulous cycling/jogging/rollerblading trail. John wanted to see the collection of Northwest nations totem poles.so we took a scenic route around the park, and then got stuck in some local traffic. We cut through some side streets and got to see the neighborhood of The northwest part of the city. Very trendy, lots of little stores and a variety of cafes and restaurants of different ethnic foods, many quaint apartment and condo towers.
Back in the park, we finally came to the totem poles, located in the easternmost tip and overlooking the Vancouver Convention center and the cruise ship docks. There were two large cruise ships there, a Holland America and a monster Norwegian Cruiselines. We took some photos of the carved poles, and walked around a bit. There were many folks about, bicycling, rollerblading, running, visiting. The city seems to be populated by very fit, thin, healthy athletic folks. The only fatties were the tourists.
We then headed into downtown Vancouver to the inner harbor area and the famous Granville Island Market. The island is located beneath a main interstate and bridge and is also a very famous spot in the city to visit. Filled with many tiny shops, galleries, restaurants, studios, and the Market, it is a miniature city within the city. The streets are cobblestone and there are the remnants of a cablecar track in the roadways. Because John was beginning to wilt, we headed straight for the Market. Filled to the brim with 100 little stalls and shops selling a vast variety of fresh foodstuffs, we walked about gazing at all the delicious goodies and produce. Salivating, we gawped at artisan cheeses, cases loaded with German meats and sausages, Italian mini pastries, Indian curries and spices, savory and sweet pot pies, veggies and fruits of all different kinds, candies and hand made chocolates, and Northwest smoked salmon and fish. We stepped outside to walk by the marina. A wooden boat show was being held with quite a few antique wood yachts and sailboats on display. Wilting, we quickly purchased some tomatoes stuffed with arugula and mozzarella and some fresh brie ravioli for dinner and headed back to the RV park. There, we enjoyed the fresh foods along with fresh French bread. To bed early.
August 23 Burnaby to Vancouver Island, Nanimo, BC
John was feeling better today so we decided to head out of the city area and west and over to Vancouver Island. We were lazy getting going so we arrived at the Horseshoe Bay BC ferry terminal too late to take the noon sailing. We took the pups into the little village and had lunch at Toll's fish n' chips. We were able to get a seat on the patio and tie the pups to the iron railing. We ate rather quickly because the next sailing was at 2:30pm and we needed to return to our motorhome for boarding. Once on board, we tried to take the pups up with us onto the passenger deck but were told they were not allowed there. We returned them to the RV and spent the rest of the trip reading and doing computer work in the seating area.
The weather was cool and breezy, but very hazy so we did not get a great view of the surrounding scenery. Once in Nanaimo, we headed a short 10 km to the Living Forest RV park, a scenic campground we had stayed at in 2007 on a winter trip to this area. The first site we were assigned to proved to be too narrow and had too many noisy neighbors. While walking the pups, i managed to spot a vacant site in a quiet area with a great view over the bay. I quickly called the office and found out that it was available, so we switched sites. We parked head in, allowing us a fabulous view over the bay. Dinner was British 'bangers', savory onion gravy and roasted potatoes. YUM! Relaxed into the evening doing some needlework and computer programming.
August 24 Vancouver Island, Nanimo, BC
Relaxed for the day in this beautiful campground. Cool sunny weather has been with us all this trip. In the afternoon, we took the pups for a long walk to a drug store near the entrance of the RV park. There, we mailed a birthday card for Maggie's birthday, picked up some bottles of water, and had a bite to eat at Tim Horton's. We returned to our campsite where we enjoyed the afternoon and had a dinner of British bangers and roasted potatoes.
August 25 Vancouver Island, Nanimo, BC to Saanish, BC
Another beautiful sunny cool day. We spent most of the afternoon visiting Butchart Gardens. We were able to bring the pups with us! They were a big hit with the crowds of people. We were stopped often with cooing and adoring people wanting to pet them and asking all sorts of questions. Both Daisy and Shelby soon became accustomed to all the attention and walked with us without barking or shying. We stopped at one point to feed them ice cream cones and really drew a crowd of onlookers. The gardens were more spectacular that I remembered them for our last trip back in 2007. Back then, we visited during spring break. It was cool then and there were not as many flowers displayed then. This time, there were many many blooms out, especially dahlias and roses. Also, we noticed many topiary sculptures placed here and there in the landscape. Afterwards, we decided to find a campsite along the shoreline. Nearby was the Beachcomber resort in Saanish, so we headed there. Very narrow campsites along the rocky beach, but a neighboring camper helped us park. Watched the sun set across the waters. To bed early.
August 26 Saanish, BC to Port Townsend, WA
We arose early to try and catch the 10:30am ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles, USA, but arrived to find the ferry already full for sailing. We had till 1:30pm to walk around so we took the pups on a stroll through the harbor and into downtown along Government St. near all the souvineer shops. They were well behaved once more and drew in lots of people wanting to pet them. I visited a few stores and of course Munroe books. While walking back to the ferry dock, we passed the seaplane terminal. A restaurant was located there called the Flying Otter (de Havilland Otters are the workhorse airplanes of the seaplane fleet)and they were offering fish and chips. I managed to get some take away for John and myself. We returned to the ferry waiting line and had lunch.
Boarding was at 2:30pm. A few of the border guards remarked on a woman driving such a huge rig! The crossing was a little under 2 hours and the seas became rolling as we approached Port Angeles. Finally, back in the USA. We drove an hour or so east to Port Townsend, another of our favorite camping spots, and got a site on the shoreline with a great view of the bay from the Point Hudson Marina and Campground. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner of scallops and salmon at the Marina Grill right next to our campsite.
August 27: Port Townsend, WA
We managed to move our site today to one closer to the beach without an obstructed view. We spent the day relaxing in Port Townsend. I made omlettes and Irish bacon for lunch, did some laundry, needlework, pup walking and napping. Later in the day, I ventured into town for a stroll. Dinner was at the small restaurant nearby.
August 28: Port Townsend to Renton, WA

Tue, May 26, 2009
With the US House's
passage of the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act
of 2009, the Aircraft Electronics Association is relived to see FAA
funding moving forward in this manner; however, the AEA is
disappointed H.R. 915 includes language requiring FAA
representative to conduct two annual inspections of foreign Part
145 certificated repair facilities.
"While we are happy to see the House of Representatives move
forward with FAA funding while maintaining the current aviation
excise tax system to do so, we are disappointed in the language
requiring twice-yearly inspections and the impact it would have on
repair stations," said Paula Derks, president of AEA.
Section 303 of the
bill requires the FAA to send inspectors to Europe twice a year for
mandated inspections of FAA-certified repair stations. This
provision seriously jeopardizes the negotiated implementation
strategies of the U.S./European Union bilateral aviation safety
In addition, the proposal would impose undue financial burdens
on U.S.-based AEA-member repair stations possessing EASA 145
certificates as well as U.S. FAA Part 145 repair stations in Europe
as they would be required to pay for this additional mandated
"FAA-only" audit.
Derks and Ric Peri, vice president of government and industry
affair for AEA, met with Sen. Claire McCaskill's (D-MO) office in
Washington, D.C., two weeks ago to discuss the foreign repair
station security issue and the AEA's position. McCaskill is on the
Homeland Security Committee and a proponent of additional security
for foreign-certified repair stations.
As this bill moves forward, the AEA is pushing for a revision of
Section 303.

Container volumes at West Coast ports increased 4 percent in December, but 2012 overall was a lackluster year as the total of import and export containers increased only 2 percent from 2011.
According to numbers published on the Web site of the Pacific Maritime Association, imports led the way, increasing 3 percent from 2011. Exports declined 1 percent. The drop in exports most likely resulted from slowing manufacturing in China and a subsequent drop in shipments of raw materials to that country.
The ports of Seattle and Tacoma outperformed other port regions, with the total container volume last year increasing 4 percent. The container volume in Los Angeles-Long Beach increased 1 percent, Oakland was flat, and the container volume in Portland dropped 2 percent.
The December spike in container traffic was most likely a one-month phenomenon that followed the reopening of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach after an eight-day strike by the Office Clerical Unit of International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63.
OCU demonstrators effectively shut down 10 of the 14 container terminals beginning Nov. 27 when ILWU dockworkers refused to cross the picket lines. Container traffic dropped in November compared to the same month in 2011, but most of the volume that was lost that month was included in the December count after the ports reopened.
All U.S. West Coast ports are feeling the competition from Prince Rupert, Canada. That port, located 500 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia, has direct rail service to Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans.
Prince Rupert, which launched it container operations in November 2007, handled 564,856 20-foot containers last year, an increase of 37.6 percent over 2011. About two-thirds of the port's container volume originates in or is destined for markets in the United States.
The port has conducted an environmental impact study on an expanded container terminal that would increase annual throughput capacity in Prince Rupert to 2 million TEUs.

Darold Treffert, M.D. is considered one of the foremost experts on savantism in the world. Dr. Treffert has published two books on savant syndrome: "Extraordinary People: Understanding Savant Syndrome" in 2006 and "Islands of Genius: The Bountiful Mind of the Autistic, Acquired and Sudden Savant" in 2010. He has been a contributor to numerous articles in professional journals and has participated in many broadcast and documentary television programs around the world. In his efforts to raise public understanding about autism and savant syndrome he has regularly appeared on programs such as 60 Minutes, Oprah, Today, CBS Evening News and many others. Dr. Treffert was a technical consultant to the award-winning movie Rain Man that made "autistic savant" household terms and he maintains a very popular website at www.savantsyndrome.com hosted by the Wisconsin Medical Society.

Dr. Treffert was gracious enough to have a wide-ranging conversation with me. Over the course of a few days, we had a delightful time chatting about autism, savantism, genius, nature, nurture, intelligence, creativity, lessons learned, recent advances, and the future. This was one of the most satisfying and elucidating conversations I have ever had. I learned many things and it is my pleasure to share our in depth conversation with all of you. In my view, this interview demonstrates quite clearly the need for more compassion and research on all different kinds of minds and ways of achieving greatness.
In this third part, we discuss the mind of the savant.
SCOTT: How frequent is savant syndrome in the general population?
DAROLD: We know that about 1 out of 10 persons with autistic disorder has some savant characteristics, either at the splinter skill, the talented or prodigious level (See Part I, Defining Autism, Savantism, and Genius).
In the people who have other kinds of disabilities, such as, mental retardation, or Tourette's, or organic brain syndrome or dementia, the frequency is about 1 in 1400. So the best estimates one could have in terms of how many savants is about 1 out of 10 persons with autism and about 1 out of 1400 with other developmental disabilities.
I don't know what the arithmetic is in terms of how many autistic people there are in the world, or in the United States, but you take about 10% of that, and then for the other disabilities, it would be about 1 in 1400. The point is that savant syndrome is much more common in autism than it is in other kinds of central nervous system disabilities.
For a recent review, see "The Savant Syndrome: An Extraordinary Condition".
SCOTT: Why do you think the majority of savants are autistic? Why do you think there's a connection there?
DAROLD: Well, that's a good question, and an important question, and a question which really warrants further investigation. I think the reason is that savant syndrome, characteristically, consists of left hemisphere dysfunction coupled with right hemisphere emergence, and what you see in the savant are basically right brain skills.
Now I realize, and I acknowledge, that the right brain/left brain distinction is a tremendous oversimplification. We don't come neatly divided into right and left hemispheres, but the fact is that the two hemispheres of the brain do specialize in certain functions. The dominant hemisphere, generally the left hemisphere, does specialize in language, logical sequential thinking, and the right hemisphere is much more vivid, much more direct, much more concrete and associated with the kinds of skills that the savant shows which are music, art, and calendar calculating and the five typical skills of the savant.
It turns out that increasingly it's being demonstrated that in autism there is left hemisphere dysfunction. There are a number of studies that go way back to the days of the Pneumoencephalogram that show left hemisphere dysfunction in autism itself. And so it doesn't come as a surprise to me that if you have a condition which already shows left hemisphere dysfunction, that you would see more savant syndrome because, in my experience, the left hemisphere dysfunction is part of savant syndrome.
Up until this time, our ways of measuring left hemisphere/right hemisphere dysfunction have been rudimentary so I think over time we'll see if autism is more related to left hemisphere. One thing that points in that direction is that autism is four times more common in males than females. The same is true in savant syndrome, and there are reasons for that, which I think may bear on, not only in autism, but also in savant syndrome.
SCOTT: Does right brain dysfunction always accompany left brain dysfunction in savants? Have you seen any cases at all where that isn't the case?
DAROLD: That's a good question, and that's one that I think I'm anxious to find more about. Some of the early cases that I dealt with, Leslie Lemke being one example, if you look at his CT scan, there's no question about massive left hemisphere damage. And some other cases that I worked with early on, convinced me of that. But all we had in those days was structural imaging, that is, CT scan and MRI, and not all of those cases of structural imaging would show left brain damage. So savant syndrome and autism, I think, are not disorders of brain structure, but they're disorders of brain function.
And now that we have some ability to look at brain function instead of just the structure, I think we'll find out a great deal more about autism and about savant syndrome. And I'll be interested to see whether my observations about left brain/right brain, which were largely predicated on some of those early cases, as well as some new ones, holds true.
My guess is that there may be instances, and Asperger's may be one example, where one is actually seeing right-brain dysfunction with left-brain abilities because many people with Asperger's are really very facile with language. And some conditions, like Williams syndrome, particularly, where these people are known as little professors because of their ability to use, if not totally, to understand language. And so I'm open to see what we discover.
My guess is that autism, if you look at autism spectrum disorder, is probably not as left-brain oriented as I have believed it to be. But I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary, and I think with the imaging that we can do now, we'll find two things: one is that we'll find instances where there is right brain dysfunction, as opposed to left brain dysfunction, and we will find that the pathways, and the connectivity, is going to be much more than left brain/right brain; it's going to be unusual connectivities that transcend just right brain/left brain that we're talking about in cerebellum involvement.
As we now have functional imaging, and we now have fiber tracking, in which you can actually see the connections as they exist, rather than implying that they are there from functional imaging, I think we'll find that there may be some disorders. We know, for example, that there is a condition called nonverbal learning disorder, and that is clearly a right brain dysfunction, as opposed to left brain, so at least clinically we see that condition, and it may well be that it's going to be more than left brain/right brain. It's going to be other more complex connectivities or lack of connectivities that will provide insight into autism, and to savant syndrome itself.
SCOTT: Yeah, I think that's very sensible, and hopefully will provide insight into how ordinary folk can, through experience, rewire their brain in unusual ways.
DAROLD: Right.
SCOTT: What ways are autistic savants locked into a particular mode of thought?
DAROLD: As a group they tend to think quite concretely as opposed to abstractly. They tend to be focused in their thinking, rather than versatile in their thinking, and have a certain obsessiveness, or rigidity, about their thinking and thought, which they sometimes find it hard to deviate. Although, as I said earlier, this shows up in some savants as the original replication and then they begin to improvise and finally are able to actually create something new. But there's an obsessive rigidity, a single-focus kind of element to their thinking which tends to be concrete.
Many of them do think in pictures, like Temple Grandin describes, but others, like this gentleman I met with yesterday, describes that he thinks almost entirely in pictures and as a form of concrete thinking. The concrete, obsessive, narrowly focused-- that sort of obsessive force behind the thinking is what one sees characteristically.
SCOTT: As you know, Daniel Tammet is quite unique in that he can switch between both concrete and abstract modes of thought. Do you have any ideas, maybe neurologically, what is enabling him to do that, whereas others savants don't have that ability?
DAROLD: Yeah, he is able to do that. Of course, Daniel is, you know, exceedingly bright and versatile, although he does have his things that he obsesses about or certain ritualistic kinds of behaviors.
I think the best example of that that I can think of is Jill Bolte Taylor. She was a neuroanatomist at Harvard and had a stroke, which left her very impaired initially and yet now she's emerged from that in a really spectacular way and has written a book called "My Stroke of Insight". She describes how when she was actually having her stroke, she was on the telephone trying to get help, but there was another part of her that was not wanting help. She describes her stroke in terms of left-brain/right-brain switching as she was having her stroke.
She's recovered remarkably from that and now is a gifted lecturer. In fact, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the TED lectures or not, but they are people that are gifted lecturers and she gave an 18-minute speech on her stroke and her recovery, which is just marvelous, and has propelled her on to the national scene now as an international lecturer.
Anyway, she talks in her book about being able to literally "shift to the right", as she calls it. I mean, she's a neuroanatomist, who does very left-brain kinds of things, but with the insight that she got from her stroke, was her ability to reach into the right hemisphere, so to speak, and a different kind of experience, a different kind of feeling, a different kind of equanimity almost that's associated with that.
She says she's able to shift to the right on command or at will. And, I think she gives the best description of what that is. Now, she's also obviously a very bright individual, as Daniel is, but I think there are some people who, in terms of neurotypicals, who are better at making that shift than others.
I mean, there are left-brain executives who run their companies with accounting, and budgets, and analyses, and do a remarkable job with logical, sequential kind of thinking, but they don't really have the vision that some other kind of leaders might have, who may not be as successful left-brain-wise with their business, but have the vision of where they ought to go and maybe strike it rich in that regard and are able to shift to the right in terms of their vision, and also shift to the right in terms of being able to balance what they do with what they are.
And, I guess my left brain, to some degree, is what I do, and that serves me well, but to some extent I think, there's more of who I am in the right side of my brain-- recognizing again, Scott, that we're not neatly divided down the middle but the fact that the hemispheres do specialize in certain functions. So Daniel was able to do that, and I think, as I said, the best description of that that I've seen is Jill Bolte Taylor, where she talks about this shift to the right, and what that means and what is associated with that, compared to kind of a left brain existence.

McDonald's Sued Over Happy Meal Toys
The lawsuit was moved to federal court, though Parham intends to get the case moved back to California.
Stephen Gardner, litigation attorney for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, argued that McDonald's employed an almost-standard method to getting the case dismissed.
"What is different about this motion is that McDonald's has chosen to blame the victim -- saying that it's all Monet Parham's fault if she doesn't force her daughter to ignore the onslaught of McDonald's marketing messages," Gardner said. "McDonald's makes a lot of money by going around parents direct to kids, and it wants to continue with that strategy."
New York City Council member Leroy G. Comrie Jr. said kids' meals, such as those offered at McDonald's and other fast-food establishments, need reduced amounts of fat, salt and sugar if toys are to be included. He introduced the bill to New York City Council on April 6, arguing that toys only be offered in kids' meals that contain fewer than 500 calories and 600 milligrams of sodium. Fewer than 35% of the calories may come from fat, he said, save for the inclusion of nuts, seeds, peanut butter or other nut-based butters. The meal would also have to include a half cup of fruit or vegetables, or a serving of whole-grain products. TheStreet asked readers to weigh in on whether the ban was a good idea -- that anything to help fight the battle of childhood obesity is a step in the right direction -- or a bad one -- that banning toys from kids' meals will not do anything to promote healthy eating habits in children. Voters overwhelmingly agreed it was an awful proposal. A whopping 92.3% of the 194 voters though the bill a bad idea, while just 7.7%, or 15 voters, thought it could help fight childhood obesity. The city of San Francisco's board of supervisors voted for a similar kids' meal toy banning proposal in November; Santa Clara, Calif. enacted comparable legislation earlier last year.

Distant Voices, Still Lives
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive
March 24, 2012
Directed by Terence Davies. With Pete Postlethwaite, Angela Wash, Freda Dowie
UK 1988, 35mm, color, 85 min
Distant Voices, Still Lives unfolds as a series of tableaux based on moments from Davies' family life growing up, creating a searingly intimate portrait of working-class Liverpool in the late 1940s and 1950s. Focusing on the real-life experiences of his mother, sisters and brother, Davies presents a household torn apart by a violent father and reunited in their fear and hatred of him. It was this film that announced the importance of music in Davies' work – whether encountered over the radio, in pub sing-alongs or blasting directly from the film's soundtrack – and above all confirmed his ability to tell stories visually.

Left without insurance as of July 1, the Maywood city council decided two weeks ago to lay off nearly all of its employees, disband its police force and pay neighboring Bell to run the city. It's estimated the city will save $164,375 a year. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department will replace Maywood's police.
"This occurred with less than 30 days notice and getting even an emergency plan contract in place with the Sheriff's Department left us with less than 10 days to disband a police department that had been in service for 86 years," Hauptmann said.
Tucked into the heavily industrial southeast part of Los Angeles County, Maywood is predominantly Latino and densely packed into just 1.2 square miles. Officials estimate about half of the city's residents are illegal immigrants. Critics have blamed the city's woes on what they call the ineptitude of local governments. In May, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, a government agency made up of more than 120 cities to share costs, advised Maywood officials to end years of "passive administration."
Hauptmann, the police chief, said that at midnight on July 1, his officers will return to police headquarters and hand over Maywood to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. All 911 lines will be transferred to the neighboring jurisdiction.
"You lose your workers comp and general liability insurance and then no one else wants to commercially insure the city because of past decisions that were made that put them in this position," he said. "You can actually lose a police and fire department over something like this. It's probably going to set an example to other communities across the country."

Best practice
- 0Jan 6, '13 by Joni's MomDoes anyone have information or best practice articles on when is the best time to give the normal dialysis meds such as EPO, Iron, Hectorol. I have a nurse on the unit that the first second the pt gets hooked on the machine she is there giving the meds. So, one pt demanded he not get his meds until the last 30 min of tx, stating one of his nephrologists told him it is best to receive meds the last few min of tx other wise they get dialyzed out, pt asked this nurse to research this, but so far she didn't get back to him.
I know I read this info somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding this information.
When do you give meds? I usually give about 2 hours into tx, pt usually has aprox. 1 hour left of tx time.
- 0Jan 6, '13 by Erikadawn RNAt my unit and in the hospital doing acutes, we give the meds any time, and antibiotics the last hour.
- 0Jan 7, '13 by DialysisRN12In unit, we give meds anytime. In acutes, we give only normally give Epo and near end of tx.
- 0Jan 9, '13 by loongway2goRnthis is from my experience and what i've been taught...
epo, iron, vitamin D, usually give whenever during the treatment. however, i usually wait to give the epo dose if diastolic is >110, something about epo will keep the diastolic elevated if it is elevated already. i know some docs would even hold the dose altogether if the diastolic is above 110. with iv iron i usually wait until towards the end of the treatment when the patient is on no heparin, the venous chamber tends to be more prone to clotting once iv iron is given, unless you can really flush the lines with NS. antiobiotics really should be given after dialysis, even vancomycin. i read a research article somewhere recently that says vancomycin is also dialyzable. but then, most patients i've encountered would not stay a minute longer than their treatment time, so there's the dilemma. but the practice i've learned and seen is give the vanco no sooner than one hour left into the treatment, gentamicin has to wait until after dialysis.
you can always call the drug manufacturers...they will provide official instructions or statements...
- 0Jan 10, '13 by ausrnurseVanc is dialyzable, I can't remember the exact percentage, but given in the last hour the loss is minimal. For patients with bigger doses or who have had reactions in the past we might give it more slowly, but with the dialysis flow off for the final 30min (usually have to beg and plead for them to do the extra 30!)

This is a gift for my daughter. She got a SMALLER bottle for Christmas that cost $60.00 so she was really wowed when she got this one.
Cant complain!!!!!!!!!!! the size of the bottle for the prize! Wonderful
Nice scent. Reasonable cost and gift wrapped too. What more can a brother ask for !
I don't know how nor why companies do these things, but I believe there's a change in the "recipe" to STILL Jennifer Lopez. Over the past year, I have used both scents STILL and LIVE. I preferred STILL. When the need to buy a new bottle rose this year, I chose the STILL scent hands down. LIVE is too citrusy. This time around, I decided on the larger bottle. Much to my surprise upon opening the attractive box was to find that the bottle is awkward to hold. The smaller version is ideal for easy handling, but this larger one is very difficult to work with. I'll go back to the smaller bottle next time, should I decide to try it again, once the contents of this bottle are spent. The change I referred to in my first sentence is that I had found when using this scent for the first time last year that it was a very clean floral scent that lingered on into the next day. Something about the contents of this larger bottle make me think of burned rubber instead of flowers, and it doesn't last as long. I can't begin to imagine why the need for any change to the original recipe. Most disappointing.
I bought this perfume because of the reviews and ended up hating the smell of it. It smells like an old woman perfume at first and finally the smell settles down to smell still not so much like an old lady perfume. I also got a headache with the smell. Next time I will not go off of these reviews because I just wasted my money and time. I'm going to give this to my mom and if she rejects this gift its because the smell is gross.
My daughter's favorite fragrance, best price I could find was at overstock.com!
I love the scent! It's soft and sweet! That's all that I have to say!
I love this perfume and I can't find it here in town. So happy I can get it on overstock!!!!!!
I loved this since day when it first came out in stores. I haven't wore since but never found in stores for this prices. I will buy more of Jennifer Lopez. I'm forever sold on her stuff!!!

December 6, 2013
UPDATE: As some have said in the comments, gift cards are back in stock.
For the past day or two, anytime I've tried to add a gift card to my cart at Staples.com, it has shown up as "Out of Stock". This includes all e-gift cards and mailed gift cards, and all third party gift cards (Sears, Home Depot, Visa, etc.), and Staples gift cards.
I opened an online chat at Staples.com to get the scoop, but didn't learn anything useful. Here is the chat transcript, with names changed to protect the innocent:
Staples: I am so sorry Greg at this time we do not have the ability to purchase the gift cards online or for delivery. I am sorry.
Greg: Is there someone you could ask?
Staples: I am sorry the last email we had received it did not have a estimated date for restocking. My apologies.
Greg: What did the email say?
Staples: All it say was at this time the gift cards were out of stock and we do not have an ETA on restocking. It stated we can not order them as they are all marked out of stock in the warehouses.
Will gift cards return to Staples.com? I expect so, but we'll have to wait and see. The secondary question is whether we'll still earn portal points once the gift cards return…

Oh this is bad news….
I strongly bet they are not actually out of stock, but their SKU are being reprogrammed and all are pulled in the transition.
Could be they close the loops or could be as is often with any new SW there are gaps to exploit.
Could also be related to a Staples/CashStar break or issue.
Holy mother of god say it isn't so!
I received the same BS non-answer when I asked, both via phone and chat. I find it hard to believe there's a technical/operational issue that is affecting GC availability across the board (even with Staples GCs) – I'm betting there's some reprogramming going on
The gift card are back up on Staples.com
but you can't buy gc with gc any more
It looks like you can still buy gift cards with gift cards. Did you try it?
I bought a gift card form Staples a couple days ago and the link sent to my email doesn't work. I called Giftcardmall twice and the they resent it twice with the same result. Their next suggestion was to get a refund from Staples. I don't know if this is related; I can't find any other reference to this problem.
It might be related. Maybe they pulled the gift cards because of a glitch like this.
I had this issue back in August. i.e. nonworking link sent by Gift Card Mall after purchasing an egift card from Staples. Took them three days to fix it! Have not had a problem since, but it was a rough start, since that was the first egift purchase I had ever made from staples.com.

|Ashes always fly back into the face of the one who blows them: During the Republican Presidential debate held in South Carolina on Monday, Jan. 16 at approximately. 9:10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Newton Leroy Gingrich (after long, long last) abruptly and pointedly demolished an attempt by a Democrat racist to use the race card to silence the voice of reason.
Using difficult to digest facts, Newt Gingrich so effectively took the wind out of the sails of a debate moderator who flashed the over-worked race card that it is unreasonable to believe that Democrats will ever be able to use it the way they have in the past. The race card has been used for decades by sandlot tyrants as a bullying tool to shakedown America on a federal, state and local level.
In referring to Newt's stunning comments, one respected and well-known political pundit stated, "It was the first time in American history that a political candidate received a standing ovation during a Presidential political debate."
Newt Gingrich's piercing, liberating words resonated throughout the entire political spectrum from left-leaning pavlovian liberals to discerning constitutionalists, and set an indelible, historical precedent that will be ignored by the liberal press, yet will continue to ring in the hearts of discerning Americans.

No-fly list strands man in on island in Hawaii
JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii — Hawaii is a paradise for most visitors. But it was Wade Hicks, Jr.'s prison for five days.
The 34-year-old from Gulfport, Miss., was stranded in the islands this week after being told he was on the FBI's no-fly list during a layover for a military flight from California to Japan.

Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDIX)
A biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of human viral and other infectious diseases with operations in the United States and Europe.

These guys have some real talented mind working for them. Only a matter of time before they hit a home run. Can always have bad luck can you?
as soon it solves the hepatitis it will come back
went up 269% for portofeille.
undervalued bio tech
Despite strong growth in recent months, Gilead Sciences beat them to the punch on hepatitis C, upon which Idenix had hung its hopes. A rebound may take a while.
It is going to get bought out, likely for more than the 2.5 billion or whatever INHX got. I'm thinking 30-35 bucks per share.
Wild card is IDIX over ACHN as only remaining Nuc therapy for hep C, as VRUS and INHS both were acquired at huge premium in this narrowed space competing to develop an all-oral hepatitis C therapy for this epidemic worldwide valued at as much as $3 billion. IDIX has broken out but expect it to run up significantly in the near term based on valuation, pipeline, short covers and new valuation of 18.
When should I buy this stock? Plz help....
Biotech = hot.
Oversold (but then again, what isn't?!)
CSOakes @2.51
Oversold with powerful sponsor. Will rebound for at least a 50% gain.
worth a buy for a short term correction below $4 after the crash
The company is sitting on a good amount of cash and has a major backer in the form of Novartis (NVS -- owns over 50% of IDIX's shares). Idenix currently sells a Hepatitis B drug and has a Hep C drug in Phase II trials. They are also working on an HIV drug that is in the extreme early phases of development. The Hep C drug will be used in combination with other drugs, but experienced a setback last year because of GI problems in some patients.
Honestly, I'm not a big biotech/pharma investor, but I like the idea behind this company's products and the potential for both the current Hep B drug and the possible Hep C drug. I generally avoid this realm because I don't have the background to understand the chemistry behind the drugs, but I figured this was an interesting situation to monitor through CAPS. Right now, the market is valuing this company as if it had very little chance at a future. NVS' support and the Hep B drug currently on market seem to mitigate against this pessimism.
What company is this ? Well...it's a small biotec company, Novartis owns more than 10% of it and isnt selling any shares. Novartis bought more than 4 million shares of IDIX at a price over 20 dollars per share. What's the price today ? About 7 dollars. Unfortunally relating to biotec knowledge I'm not Charly Travers and I honestly know nearly nothing about evaluating the inside value biotechnology companies, BUT, I guess the guys from Novartis know a lot and if they bough so many shares at 20 dollars per share I suppose this company is worth 20 dollars per share for somebody, so I might happily throw a couple thousand dollars to buy shares at todays price.
Also, about a year ago SOMMADOSSI JEAN-PIERRE, an Officer, bought 10.000 shares at 9 dollars per share. Ok, 10.000 isnt that many, but the guy might not be swimming in money either.
More info, Market Cap is about 400M and the company is 120M in cash ready to burn.
Price to book value is below 3... at this price I would even buy a big company like Intel, and Enterprise Value/Revenue is a confortable 4, while Microsoft is slighly over 5. If this company was profitable I wouldnt hesitate to call it a value play, this way....I'll just guess that it's a value play :)) The signs are there
Outperform dude! Here be no dragons (hope so).
Sales of Sebivo in Europe should add to the income and improve its margins.
Maker of Hepatitis B drug, Tyzeka, that is just starting sales. Also in testing for a Hepatitis C drug that looks to be used in conjunction with others to form a "cocktail" that is extremely effective. Good management and a great product. I like the growth potential when/if the Hep C drug goes through, and I also like that they are doing something to combat that disease. Call it a combination head and heart play.
Discovery of new drugs and treatments? Don't see any in the pipeline at this time. Maybe in the future.

General Mills Joins U.S. Food Waste Challenge As Founding Partner
MINNEAPOLIS, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- General Mills today was named a founding partner of the U.S. Food Waste Challenge, a collaborative initiative between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130228/MM68998LOGO )
The U.S. Food Waste Challenge urges producer groups, processors, manufacturers, retailers, communities, and other government agencies to reduce food loss and waste, recover wholesome food for human consumption and recycle discards for other uses , such as animal feed, compost, or energy generation.
"General Mills is deeply committed to reducing and eliminating food waste at every opportunity, and we recognize this as a critical challenge for both food manufacturers and consumers," said Jerry Lynch, chief sustainability officer, General Mills. "Food waste sent to landfill is the biggest opportunity for our industries to address hunger in America and lessen our environmental footprint."Food that can be consumed but is trashed bypasses hungry Americans. Today, one in six Americans struggles with hunger. Moreover, food waste has a dramatic impact on the environment. Food in landfills creates methane gas, a significant source of greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than CO 2 over a 100-year period, according to the EPA. Since 2011, General Mills has been at the forefront of the food waste issue as a co-chair of the Food Waste Reduction Alliance. The goals of the Alliance – comprising the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Food Marketing Institute, the National Restaurant Association and many member companies – are to reduce the amount of food going to landfills and to increase the amount of food going to hungry people. "Dramatically reducing the amount of wasted food is a critical strategy in the drive for food security in the United States. Nearly 40 million tons of food waste is sent to landfill every year – that's enough to meet the needs of every hungry American," said Lynch. "By tackling this issue head on, we're keeping food out of landfills, which saves us money and gets food to hungry people." As part of the company's participation in the U.S. Food Waste Challenge, General Mills has made a commitment to focus on enhancing its current process by creating a direct communication link to Feeding America and adding capabilities to donate ingredients and packaging, in addition to finished products, which could save an estimated 30 million pounds of waste.

Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all—Narmer's crown—might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer's is the elusive "double" crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth—the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world. Download and start listening now!
" This is a great novel that starts builds slowly and methodically and culminates in a thrilling finish. Absolutely enthralling and a masterful work from an unparalleled literary talent. "
" Inventive and unexpected - that's my best choice of words to describe this well-crafted horror novel. I thought it was very exciting and recommend it to horror buffs wholehearedly. "
" I didn't care very much for this book. The author takes too many liberties with historical facts and the story is just not that exciting. From what I had heard about this novel I expected a lot better. "
" A thrilling horror novel set in the world of ancient Egyptian archaeology with an incredible ending that's very unexpected. "
" Decent fun but nothing great. It was too dull in too many places for my taste. The story moved along like molasses on a winter day. Disappointing. "
" The Third Gate is a wonderful supernatural thriller that's as good as anything from Stephen King or similar bestselling authors. I loved it and hope to see a movie adaptation - that would be awesome. "
