The high cost of overtreatment
|| Print |
|Monday, November 11, 2013
Better safe than sorry. That's how we tend to think about health care decisions. But as a guiding principle, it's often a huge and costly mistake.
Here's an example. While living in Boston last year, our 15-year-old came down with a sore throat with a couple of swollen lymph nodes. I learned later that his symptoms and initial blood test results were absolutely typical of what you'd expect from a case of mono, the common viral infection in teenagers that generally requires nothing more than bed rest. But the pediatrician who saw him insisted that he needed to be seen by the hematology oncology group at Boston Children's Hospital. We're talking world-class pediatric cancer specialists.
We accepted the referral and left the pediatrician's office in a state of stunned disbelief. And we waited, terrified, for three weeks to find out from the oncologists that our son's blood cells were perfectly fine. He had tested positive for the virus that causes mono. The cost? Those painful weeks of unnecessary anxiety about our son facing a life-threatening disease; my son's blood, drawn redundantly by the oncologists, who wouldn't rely on the two blood tests already done by the pediatrician; and a $965 bill from Boston Children's Hospital. All of it avoidable.
A relevant new study, published in November in the journal Health Affairs, added up the costs of our just-to-be-on-the-safe-side mentality in the arena of emergency medicine. Health systems in Portland and six other metropolitan areas are squandering about $137 million a year by transporting non-seriously injured patients to the highest level trauma centers, the authors concluded. EMTs in most cities use triage guidelines to decide which patients require transport to a major trauma center to avoid overwhelming them with less serious cases. But in the two-year study, more than a third of the 248,342 low-risk patients wound up getting transported to major trauma centers, which have higher costs than community hospitals. (Treatment at Level 1 trauma centers cost $4,833 more per patient than at nontrauma hospitals, after adjusting for differences in patient age, severity of illness, need for surgery and many other factors affecting cost.)
It is possible that some of that added spending adds value for patients with minor or moderate injuries. Perhaps they are less likely to have complications, missed diagnoses or other errors at trauma centers. But there is no evidence that that is the case. In fact, studies to date suggest that trauma centers and non-trauma hospitals provide comparable care for non-serious injuries and that the added costs of trauma centers are worth it only for serious cases.
Our bias to err on the side of excess has made it easy for profiteers to take advantage of us as consumers. Consider the Pap smear, a screening test for cervical cancer that until recently cost about $30. Enterprising lab companies have figured out how to bundle additional tests with Pap screening and charge $1,000 or more. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Cheryl Bettigole, a New Jersey physician, explains:
Countless other examples make clear that our thinking about health care decisions is harmfully tilted toward unnecessary intervention. The controversy over mammography screening is revealing.
After years of promoting annual mammography screening starting at age 40, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force came out with new recommendations in 2009 cautioning that the risk outweighs the benefit for younger women. There is good evidence that mammography screening saves lives, but it also leads to overdiagnosis: the detection of abnormalities that will never cause harm. By one estimate, 1.3 million American women have been overdiagnosed because of mammography screening during the past 30 years and these women have endured some combination of surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy for a nonexistent disease.
Recognizing the harm, the task force said it's better for most women to wait until age 50 to begin mammography screening unless they are at high risk for breast cancer – a recommendation in line with a number of other independent medical groups, including the American College of Physicians.
Public reaction to the mammography guidelines was overwhelmingly, venomously negative. Media reports prominently quoted radiologists and cancer specialists who dismissed the task force's recommendations as an unethical attempt to save money at the expense of women's lives. And in the years since, mammography screening practices have persisted essentially unchanged. The federal Affordable Care Act actually expanded insurance coverage in 2010, requiring private health plans to fully cover annual mammograms for women starting at age 40. And mammography screening remains as common as ever among younger women, a recent study found. Screening rates among 40- to 49-year-old women were 46.1% in 2008 and 47.5% in 2011, a recent study found.
Considering how the mammography controversy played out, I'm not sure that as a society we are ready to give up thinking that it's better to err on the side of overtreatment, It seems like such an obvious truth to so many people that they immediately discount any authority who suggests otherwise. In the narrative that feels truest, the villains are profit-motivated insurance company CEOs or cost-cutting government bureaucrats who are trying to impose a cruel form of rationing. It's time for us to start heeding a more nuanced story in which there are times when medicine can be too much of a good thing.

here. As soon as I recently realized that I stopped reading EGS regularly sometime in Februrary (during the "New and Old Flames" story arc), I found out that this would be a great opportunity to reread the series entirely and gain a fresh new perspective on the comic.
First Comic (1/21/02)
: There is absolutely nothing here to suggest that this comic will become more than just low-grade newspaper comic jokes and talking heads, but at least Dan had the good sense to
it and remind us in the later-added commentary that it gets better. Incidentially, this would make a really clever
"Hello, I'm Elliot. This thing to my left is named Tedd. As you are probably aware, this is our first movie teaser, and as you know,
movie teasers always spoil
Oink (1/22/02)
: Why did Sarah put the bikini on in the first place?
He Deserved That, Folks (1/23/02)
: More
. And more reminding the reader that this is just an introduction and no reflection on the quality of the comic as a whole. By the way, was that a
Hyperspace Mallet
Sarah used, or did she actually
A Noble Cause (1/24/02)
: Ehhhh... more newspaper humor, but I like the little caption showing the author's support of our heroes' endeavor.
Where DID that come from? (1/25/02)
: The "horny male teenager" behavior I would expect from both Tedd
Elliot (as well as... well, any other male teenager in real life, myself included), but Tedd's the only one that would be that indiscreet about it. Granted, writer who values their sanity would try to establish their characters' personalities in such a short period of time, but in hindsight, this is a very
Out of Character
moment for Elliot. That's all I have to say for this strip, so - wait, wasn't it implied that they
already get Sarah to wear the bikini, but she just wouldn't appear on-panel with it on?
If You Take Offense it's Your Own Dirty Mind's Fault
: ...
Full-color Sunday strip no. 1
: Even
. To an outsider, the comic to this point seems to be based on somewhat clever, yet totally immature humor. I leave it to you to decide whether or not that is a bad thing.
In Conclusion
: I would not seriously recommend anyone who would "judge a book by its cover", as it were, to begin reading

Restructuring of the guide has been completed. A lot of text transferring but now there is plenty of room to add new information to the guide.
The guide now consists of this "main thread" and two floating threads. I'm going to add some good stuff these next few days.
Added this to section I of a Guide to Tribunal: Trivia and Wisdom.
9. Abuse of the report option through such toxic behavior as threatening and false reporting.
Over 11,000 views as of this post.
Lyte has started a discussion thread himself on the topic of report abuse as well.
an interesting tidbit
I ran some numbers to see how many players might have gotten affected by the recent report abuse audit.
Reminder to self: Add a walkthrough for using the Support ticket system.

Can I post in the tribunal?

Well, it is done. We are married, consecrated and sworn and united in body. I will, out of common politeness and respect for my beloved, not elaborate overmuch on this last item, only to say that it adds to my concerns about divulging our relationship--the curiosities others may have concerning the matter. Such things are not much spoken of much among our people, though I cannot comment on practice. There is much we have had to learn for ourselves. Maedhros takes a grim humor in using the Men of his land as an example; they are not faithful as we are, and their men will sometimes satisfy their desires in such ways. I do not know if any of them are like us, drawn by affection as well as desire. It makes for a strange parallel, and though we know we are not like them, the commonalities trouble us a little. Anyway, to put it bluntly, I would rather not have the whole host of Hithlum wondering about the things that go on in my bedchamber.
Yet no one has noticed a difference in us, or if they have, they have not spoken. Truly, there is no one here close enough to me that would concern themselves with such a change; counselors and captains are not apt to ask questions about a king's personal business. So many who were dear to me, who would have seen it, are dead. I do not know yet if we will speak of it to anyone. It is not fear that stays our speech so much as practicality; the waters of our time need no more troubling.
But all this is unimportant, trivial. Perhaps I am still a little afraid of using words to express what has befallen. Has there ever been a word beautiful enough to match the beauty and fragility and peril of what we have found? I have loved him and do love him. He is my beloved, and I his. And now we two are something beyond duality, beyond mere relation.
Two trees, silver and gold, blend into a single light. Then light fades, and again they are simply themselves. How can so few letters express the weight of such a universe?

Betty Petersen
1927 - 2014
I attended the funeral today of one of Lauren's closest friends. It is causing me to ponder on this friend and the difference of one whether "added" or "subtracted."
Betty and Lauren never swapped stories of boyfriends, ate lunch, did homework, or commented and laughed about their science teacher like "typical friends" do. They never spent hours on the phone or texted a single time. In fact, Lauren and Betty didn't actually really "meet" until the Carnival celebrating Lauren's first remission. But, Betty was a close and doting friend. She had been attentive to Lauren's story and Lauren's needs all throughout her first battle and remission, ... as she would be during her second battle and remission, her third, and ultimately the fourth that ended Lauren's life at 15 1/2. Cards, gifts, treats, projects to disrupt boredom, and hand-sewn scarves (in every color, pattern, and print known to holidays, seasons, and fashion) to cover Lauren's bald head poured into our home over the 3 1/2 year struggle to defeat cancer .... all at the hands AND HEART of a remarkable friend, Betty - -
Betty and Lauren became friends, not because of similar life circumstances, or fondness the way many of our friendships began. It simply began because Betty chose to make it begin. Through a small association Betty had with us as Lauren's parents 20 years earlier, she heard about Lauren's story and came 'running' (on her crutches) to try to lighten her burden (and ours). The evidence of her thoughtfulness was apparent all over our home, and most of the scarves she sewed for Lauren (although deeply cherished) were donated to people whose burden Lauren wished to lighten. Everything we could re-gift was re-gifted and I'll never forget when Lauren sent off the last box of scarves to Primary Children's Medical Center, the name she put on the card was not "Lauren" but "from your friend, Betty Petersen." Lauren and Betty, although over 60 years different in age, and having no common life experiences, shared the desire to "bear one another's burdens."
I never ceased to marvel at the gifts that would come to us (through Betty's sister Renee who did plenty of serving of her own) even though I came to expect the packages because I knew well enough, the intentions of these two sisters. Still, I wondered how new Christmas scarves and cross stitch patterns and stacks of $2 bills kept coming after most others would have long since 'lost interest.' Betty remained Lauren's friend through thick and through thin and mourned deeply when she passed away.
Betty's life had not been easy. In fact, she had health issues since she was seven years old. She never had children and never married. And, though she may have felt otherwise, she made a HUGE difference, especially to a 15 year old dying from cancer that she had met only once, but provided support on a level so very unique to this beautiful woman and her desire to make a difference. Adding her "one" to our life was exponentially profound, and having that "one" subtracted made a much bigger impact than the amount of interaction or her tiny little frame would suggest in her absence. We mourn her passing from the exponentially profound impact she had on our family .... which is to say we mourn deeply this great woman who made a sweet and significant difference in our world. Adding her made a significant difference, so subtracting her did too. When I heard that she had passed away, I wept ....
But, like her other friends and family who were touched by her life, I felt happy for her ... and celebrate that she is free of the limitations of her physical body. And, I can't help but think of the reality that she has many friends who waited to greet her, like my Lauren -- who was likely reunited with a 'forever' friend that she has known for much longer than any of us can imagine. And, while most life-circumstances bore no similarity, I couldn't help cry just a little (or better said: a lot) that through the promised healing of the Savior, each of these angels has shed crutches they will never need again.
In loving tribute to our sweet friend Betty and to any others who are like her or aspire to be like her ... to reach out even to perfect strangers in a manner of sharing a burden, to be Christ-like and charitable, to mourn with those that mourn ... we give thanks that our lives crossed her path and we were able to see a little more of heaven (and the CEO thereof) through her and the difference she made in our lives.
Dance in peace and joy. (Psalms 30:11)

Teen driver cited after 2 adults, toddler struck in Boston
Updated On: Oct 07 2013 06:35:13 AM EDT
A teen driver is being cited after Boston police say she hit and seriously injured a family walking in the South End on Sunday.
A mother and father were walking with their 1-year-old child just after 3 p.m. when they were struck by a Nissan Murano at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Dartmouth Street, police said.
"I heard a very big, loud screeching sound and then a shouting sound, like somebody screaming, then the collision sound," one witness said.
The family was struck from behind by the 17-year-old driver. The car then smashed into a building.
"I live a couple doors down, and it did shake my house," another witness said.
The father and mother were taken to Tufts Medical Center with serious head injuries. The 1-year-old in the stroller was treated and released from the hospital.
The driver had a junior operating license and shouldn't have been behind the wheel, let alone with another 17-year-old in the car, police said. She's now being cited.

Google Dashboard displays your Google addiction
Is Google taking over the world? Well, now you can see how much it's taking over your world with the Google dashboard, listing each of the company's services you're using, information you've entered, and items you've shared. From this one location, you can delete data, change settings and generally manage all your Googleism.
We're big fans of the excellent Gmail and its contacts database, Google Calendar, Picasso Web albums, Google Voice, YouTube, and Google Reader, and appreciate the ability to keep track of them with this new dashboard. A huge drawback is the lack of a dashboard for Google Apps accounts (where you can use your own custom domain name), which is beginning to seem like a poor stepchild to Google when it rolls out new features.
We like the idea of controlling all of our Google activities in one easy to find location. Some of our buddies are really worried about computing in the cloud, and are particularly concerned about handing over their personal data and documents to Google. Not us. How about you, readers?

OPEN DAILY 7:30am - 9:30pm
This seemingly decadent dessert is something all can enjoy: it's gluten-free, raw, vegan, is only lightly sweetened, and it incredibly delicious! Be sure to start the cashews soaking at least six hours before you'd like to serve it.
This meal-sized salad is summer on a plate.
A marinade of yogurt, orange, cumin, and saffron flavor these juicy chicken kebabs. Served with lime wedges and lavash or pita, it's a special but deceptively easy meal.
Classic, cool, and refreshing cucumber salads are a welcome summer side dish, and a nice counter to grilled meats.
Miso dressing is an unexpected but enjoyable choice for pasta salad, giving it a nice umami punch!
This is a really fast, easy dinner, and ideally suited to summer: no cooking required!
Summer squash soaks up the garlic, herbs, and lemon in this marinade like a sponge, and bursts with flavor after a quick turn on the grill. Use the extra marinade (you'll have some leftover) to drizzle over a grain salad, or to grill more vegetables.
Turkish people know how to cook vegetables like no one else, and these incredible zucchini fritters are no exception. Served with an easy salad of sliced tomatoes drizzled in olive oil, this is a perfect summer meal.

BATMAN #15 to Land in Stores 12/12
Yesterday, "Death of the Family" continued as the eagerly-anticipated BATMAN #14 hit shelves.
From the critically revered and New York Times bestselling creative team of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo, the issue made some major revelations about Gotham City's Clown Prince of Crime and his ruthless plans to annihilate The Dark Knight's allies. And with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger for an ending, BATMAN #14 already had us clamoring for more. So what's coming next?
"We've got some really cool, bombastic stuff here. Some explosive stuff," Capullo teased to NEWSARAMA about the upcoming BATMAN #15. "And one of the things that The Joker is good at is getting inside people's heads, right? And so, if he can get in their heads and start to divide and conquer, how much easier is it for him to execute his plan? Which is to destroy the Bat-family. So we're going to start to see the seeds of destruction come to fruit here in this issue. And as we saw, The Joker has possession of Alfred. There's a very disturbing scene in this issue, carrying that ball forward down the field."
Below, take a first look at some interior art from BATMAN #15. For more sneak peeks inside the book, head on over to MTV GEEK, IGN, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES, NEWSARAMA and COMIC VINE, where you'll also get to read more from Capullo about The Joker and what's still to come in "Death of the Family"!
BATMAN #15 lands in stores on December 12.

Treating Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hand Aches Could Mean Damage to the Median Nerve – Here's What to Do

Do you suffer from aches or numbness in your wrist and hand? These could be symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a nerve compression disorder that strikes women three times as often as men. Early treatment is essential to avoid permanent damage. Find out what causes this ailment, how to get carpal tunnel relief, and preventive measures you can take…
You're working at your desk, trying to ignore the tingling or numbness you've had for months in your hand and wrist. Suddenly, a sharp, piercing feeling shoots through the wrist and up your arm.
Just a passing cramp? More likely you have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist.
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. This nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers (although not the little finger), as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move.
The carpal tunnel – a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand – houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed.
The result may be weakness or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. The dominant hand is usually affected first and produces the most severe aching.
Although these sensations may indicate other conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widely known of the
entrapment neuropathies
– a term for when the body's peripheral nerves are compressed or traumatized.
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
They usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers.
Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent.
The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with the syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist.
As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects or perform other manual tasks. In chronic or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away.
Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.
What causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
It's often the result of a combination of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel, rather than a problem with the nerve itself.
Most likely the disorder is due to a congenital predisposition – the carpal tunnel is simply smaller in some people than others.
Other contributing factors include:
Trauma or injury to the wrist that causes swelling, such as sprain or fracture
Overactivity of the pituitary gland (which can lead to excess growth hormone)
Hypothyroidism (which causes a deficiency in thyroid hormone)
Mechanical problems in the wrist joint
Work stress
Repeated use of vibrating hand tools
Fluid retention during pregnancy or menopause
The development of a cyst or tumor in the canal
But in some cases, no cause can be identified. There's little clinical data to prove whether repetitive and forceful movements of the hand and wrist during work or leisure activities can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Repeated motions performed in the course of normal work or other daily activities can result in repetitive motion disorders such as bursitis.
Writer's cramp – a condition in which repetitive activity causes a lack of fine motor skill coordination and ache and pressure in the fingers, wrist or forearm – is not a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome.
How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?
A physical examination of the hands, arms and shoulders can help determine if the patient's complaints are related to daily activities or an underlying disorder, and can rule out other conditions that mimic carpal tunnel syndrome.
The wrist is examined for tenderness, swelling, warmth and discoloration. Each finger should be tested for sensation, and the muscles at the base of the hand should be examined for strength and signs of atrophy.
Physicians can use specific tests to try to produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
In the Tinel test, the doctor taps on or presses on the median nerve in the patient's wrist. The test is positive when tingling in the fingers or a resultant shock-like sensation occurs.
The Phalen, or wrist-flexion, test involves having the patient hold his or her forearms upright by pointing the fingers down and pressing the backs of the hands together. The presence of carpal tunnel syndrome is suggested if one or more symptoms, such as tingling or increasing numbness, is felt in the fingers within 1 minute.
Doctors may also ask patients to try to make a movement that brings on symptoms.
It's often necessary to confirm the diagnosis by use of electrodiagnostic tests:
In a nerve-conduction study, electrodes are placed on the hand and wrist. Small electric shocks are applied and the speed with which nerves transmit impulses is measured.
In electromyography, a fine needle is inserted into a muscle; electrical activity viewed on a screen can determine the severity of damage to the median nerve.
Ultrasound imaging can show impaired movement of the median nerve.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show the anatomy of the wrist but has not been found especially useful in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome.
How is the syndrome treated?
Carpal tunnel treatment should begin as early as possible, under a doctor's direction, to avoid permanent damage to the median nerve.
Underlying causes such as diabetes should be treated first.
Initial treatment generally involves resting the affected hand and wrist for at least two weeks, avoiding activities that may worsen symptoms, and immobilizing the wrist in a splint to avoid further damage from twisting or bending. Apply cool packs to help reduce swelling.
Non-surgical treatments
In special circumstances, various medications can ease the swelling associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Over-the-counter drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, may ease symptoms that have been present for a short time or have been caused by strenuous activity.
Orally administered diuretics ("water pills") can decrease swelling.
Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) or the local anesthetic lidocaine can be injected directly into the wrist, or prednisone can be taken orally, to relieve the median nerve compression and provide immediate, temporary relief to people with mild or intermittent symptoms. (Corticosterioids shouldn't be taken without a doctor's prescription; they can make it difficult for those with diabetes to regulate insulin levels.)
Also, some studies show that vitamin B
(pyridoxine) supplements may ease the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Stretching and strengthening exercises can help people whose symptoms have abated. These exercises may be supervised by a physical therapist, who is trained to use exercises to treat physical impairments, or an occupational therapist, who is trained in evaluating people with physical impairments and helping them build skills to improve their health and well-being.
Acupuncture and chiropractic care have benefited some patients, but their effectiveness remains unproved. An exception is yoga, which has been shown to reduce aches and improve grip strength among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. It's generally recommended if symptoms last for six months.
The surgery involves severing the band of tissue around the wrist to reduce pressure on the median nerve. This is done under local anesthesia and doesn't require an overnight hospital stay. Many patients require surgery on both hands.
The following are types of carpal tunnel release surgery:
Open release surgery
, the traditional procedure used to correct the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, involves making an incision up to 2 inches in the wrist and then cutting the carpal ligament (the tissue that holds joints together) to enlarge the carpal tunnel. The procedure is generally done under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, unless there are unusual medical considerations.
Endoscopic surgery
may allow faster functional recovery and less postoperative discomfort. The surgeon makes two incisions (about 1/2 inch each) in the wrist and palm, inserts a camera attached to a tube, observes the tissue on a screen, and cuts the carpal ligament. This two-portal endoscopic surgery, generally performed under local anesthesia, minimizes scarring and scar tenderness, if any.
Single-portal endoscopic surgery is also available, and can result in less post-operative aches and a minimal scar. It generally allows individuals to resume some normal activities in a short time.
Although symptoms may be relieved immediately after surgery, full recovery can take months. Some patients may have infection, nerve damage and stiffness at the scar.
Occasionally, the wrist loses strength because the carpal ligament is cut. Patients should undergo physical therapy after surgery to restore wrist strength. Some patients may need to adjust job duties or even change jobs after recovery from surgery.
Recurrence following carpal tunnel treatment is rare. The majority of patients recover completely.
How can carpal tunnel syndrome be prevented in the workplace?
Workers can do on-the-job conditioning and stretching exercises, and take frequent rest breaks. They can wear splints to keep wrists straight, and use correct posture and wrist position.
Wearing fingerless gloves can help keep hands warm and flexible.
Workstations, tools and tool handles, and tasks can be redesigned to enable the worker's wrist to maintain a natural position during work. Jobs can be rotated among workers.
Employers can develop programs in ergonomics, the process of adapting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of workers. However, research has not conclusively shown that these workplace changes prevent the occurrence of the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

So never mind Jonas and his contamination challenge. The yellow Piper Cub in the sky is loaded with deadly nerve agent and being flown by a dead guy!
And we've got the hero SF guy up there in his bigger plane and he's going to knock this plane off it's preset auto-flying course by flying into it leaving the soldier baffled, "Why aren't they calling in the Air Force?" (swearing below the break)
"There is no decision to make here. It takes 2 seconds of thought to know what to do. First I don't think that dead guy can fly that plane even if it's on auto-pilot but let's just say that he can? Then call the fuckin' Air Force and tell 'em to take the plane down. The plane is in a sparsely populated area, it's headed for the city – what is the question here?"
I shrugged. The hero SF guy repeatedly banged into the Piper Cub with his plane which sent it spiraling off course in a variety of ways only to miraculously go back on course like that kid's book, "The Little Train That Could". Third time the guy went into the maneuver the soldier told me his alternative plan.
"Okay, P, this is what I'd do. I'll pull my plane right up to that Cub and make it so wings were even," he said. "I'd line them up, see?"
I laughed.
"Yep, and then I send Dora out. I'd send her over – she could just wing walk right over there, get in that plane and take control from that dead guy. Yep. She'd hold them right in her little paws and bring that plane down, land it safely. I'm telling you this is a better idea then what he's doing and a lot more plausible. Dora could do it," he said. "I'd tell her too and she'd go right out the door and walk across those wings and take care of this shit. But how these fuckers could forget we have an Air Force? How do you forget something like that? Call them up and they'd be more than happy to blow that plane outa the fuckin' sky but noooooooooo. This jackass has to risk his life bumping… I'm telling you, Dora. Dora is the answer here. She could solve this thing a lot faster then they can even with a googly eye!"

Software-as-a-Service Gains Traction with Printing Firms

to see this rotator.
Competition is forcing print and marketing service providers to expand their offerings and build new services at a brisk pace. Software is a key enabler to adding such services. However, many printing firms struggle to procure the resources needed to effectively develop and roll out software-driven services.
This conundrum has prompted firms to "rent" or "subscribe to" solutions from providers that sell Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in order to gain required computing power. The benefits of using SaaS include a universally accessible Web-based interface, reduced start-up costs, and decreased risks in developing and launching new services.
Last year, InfoTrends, in partnership with the North American Publishing Co. (NAPCO), the publisher of Printing Impressions magazine, surveyed 153 print service providers regarding their knowledge and use of software delivered through a SaaS model.
Survey Says: Web-to-Print Tops SaaS Apps
One of the most interesting findings of this survey is that nearly a quarter of the firms surveyed that subscribe to software through a Software-as-a-Service model subscribe to Web-to-Print software. SaaS has become an ideal delivery method for Web-enabled print services as it allows a service provider to quickly and affordably set up an online storefront.
Cross-Media Another Popular SaaS Purchase
Cited by 50 percent of respondents, the second most popular software category that respondents reported accessing through SaaS was multi-channel communication solutions. This finding speaks to the nature of how printing firms are diversifying their services mix to include cross-media marketing services.
Other software categories that have seen SaaS adoption include production workflow management, customer relationship management (CRM), and variable data publishing (VDP).
The printing industry in general is keeping up with other business sectors in its adoption of Software-as-a-Service. InfoTrends expects that over the next five years, SaaS software delivery will become even more common as more solutions will become SaaS-enabled.
Looking to Invest in Web-to-Print?
Through PIworld.com, InfoTrends offers its
"Ultimate Guide Online"
—a powerful tool that enables printers to investigate and compare details of Web-to-print, variable data and multi-channel communications software solutions in the market. We offer two levels of access to fit printers' needs. You can sign up for a free account to access a high level of information on each software and hardware product category covered.
When making important software investment decisions, premium access can be used to obtain a much deeper level of information on these products. Priced at $59.95, premium access includes 30 days of access to information such as pricing, training and granular functionality, as well as value-added analysis from InfoTrends analysts.
The guides were developed to offer printers an easy-to-use reference tool to help in the decision-making process that will have an impact on their businesses for years to come.

First Defiance Financial CEO Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The reduction in non-performing assets, other real estate owned and net charge-offs are all indications of this. But we did not get the reduction in classified assets we had anticipated during the quarter, it was not result of identifying new credit issues that slower progress than we had hoped for on previously identified credits.
As I've said in the past, we are going to continue to take a conservative approach to the grading of our credits.
The improvement in overall credit quality has brought most of our key credit metrics below the levels they were at the beginning of 2009, we are focused on driving them lower. As loan quality continued its improvement through the quarter loan balances remained a challenge. The slow on environment have showed some signs revival earlier in the spring has pulled back slightly. This slowness along with the decreases in loan balances resulting from working out problem loans and normal amortization resulted in a reduction in the loan portfolio for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Late in the second quarter we did see some improvement in this trend and we hope we can keep this momentum going. The deposit side of the balance sheet continues to perform well for us as we've been able to continue reducing our cost to deposits and build our non-interest bearing deposits.Non-interest deposits were up over $35 million or almost 19% over the period ending June 30, 2010. As a result this along with additional rate reduction on interest bearing accounts has helped us hold on margin in a relatively narrow range by offsetting over yields on the asset side, although, this has bound to come under pressure eventually.
