Summary: Prior to Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of illegal abortions occurred in the United States every year. Rickie Solinger uses the story of Ruth Barnett, an abortionist in Portland, Oregon, between 1918 and 1968 to demonstrate that it was the law, not so-called back-alley practitioners, that most endangered women's lives in the years before abortion was legal. Women from all walks of life came to Ruth Barnett to seek abortions. For most of her career she worked in a proper suite of ...show moreoffices, undisturbed by legal authorities. In her years of practice she performed forty thousand abortions and never lost a patient. But in the anti-abortion fervor of the post-World War II era, conditions in Portland and elsewhere began to change. Barnett and other practitioners were hounded by the police and became convenient targets for politicians and sensation-hungry journalists. Desperate women continued to seek abortions but were forced to turn to profiteering abortion syndicates run by racketeers or to use self-induced methods that often ended in serious injury or death. Solinger makes vivid use of newspaper accounts and extant legal transcripts to document how throughout the country laws were used to persecute competent abortion practitioners. While Roe v. Wade has alleviated some of the danger that shaped women's lives before 1973, Solinger points out that the abortion practitioner is again threatened in the United States, this time by the violence of anti-choice fanatics. Her book is an instructive reminder of the vigilance necessary to protect both women and those who would provide them with freedom of choice. ...show less

More than two million Americans have already lost their health care coverage due to Obamacare.

The Sample: Chloe Love, Chloe Eau de Perfum (Review & Photos)
14 Feb
So this is gonna be an interesting one…just because scent is such a personal thing that just because I give this particular product an A+, doesn't mean that you will. But, I'm going to try my best and just base this review on what I personally like. Hopefully I will be able to describe this lovely perfume well enough for you to make an informed decision on whether this scent is right for you. Sound good?
Alrighty then. A little backstory on my perfume history: I was wearing Michael Kors' namesake perfume for about a year before I decided to try out Chloe's. The best way I can describe MK's eau de parfum is: a strong, musky initial incense and vetiver-infused scent with a sweet and sensual dry-down of tuberose, and peony. It actually wasn't my original intention to own a musky perfume. In fact, all my life I've steered clear of any and all perfumes that could even remotely be described as being/having slight undertones of musk. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I was more of a floral girl. So I was delighted when I stumbled across the Michael Kors by Michael Kors rollerball perfume. Intensely sweet and floral with strong notes of tuberose (I LOVE white floral scents!!). It was perfect! So obviously, when I ran out of the rollerball, I went to the mall to repurchase the full-size bottle this time. Makes sense right? So imagine my shock when after I got home and tried it and was hit with an overwhelming scent of musk. I was not a happy camper. So I took it back and explained to the SA that I must have been sold a dud and needed a replacement bottle. She gladly exchanged it for me and I returned home. This time, I cautiously sprayed a sheet of paper first. Still musky! That's when I realized that once the perfume dried-down, it started to smell like the perfume that I knew and loved. I realized that rollerball perfumes have had time to "dry-down" in the bottle and after that, all the base notes come forward. In the rollerball that I purchased, the top notes were no longer detectable at all. Moral of the story? If you love the way a perfume smells in rollerball form and are interested in repurchasing in a bigger size-always test it out before buying! The scent may smell a lot different than you thought when still packaged in the bottle!
*Side note: don't get me wrong-I continued to use the Michael Kors perfume after I realized what the problem was and will probably repurchase sometime in the future for whenever I want to wear something bolder. It's a beautiful perfume. It's a very sexy, very outspoken kind of scent. It's sultry and perfect for nights out-I truly love it. It's just that I had been expecting something else originally-but once I accepted that it was meant to have a musky top note, I appreciated the scent much more.
After I finished my MK perfume, I think I wanted to go in the opposite direction while still staying true to my perfume taste. I wanted something still floral but more whimsical and light for daytime. I remembered that I had gotten a sample of Love, Chloe from a Sephora purchase not too long ago, so I decided to try it. I fell in love instantly. I would have never thought to try a "clean" or "powdery" scent-but that's precisely what Love, Chloe is, in the best way imaginable. It's described as a "fine, powdery scent—light, sensual, and iridescent with talc and rice". I would describe it as being delightfully feminine in a sexy, clean way and alluring in a subtle way. It hits that sweet spot between being t0o floral and too clean of a scent. The powdery notes are in no way overwhelming and neither are the floral notes. They just blend beautifully into a sophisticated but still young and girly perfume. And the scent really lingers all day. With my MK perfume, I'd find that an hour or so after spraying, I couldn't smell it anymore. With the Love, Chloe, I can apply in the morning and when I crawl in to bed at night, I can still smell the scent in my hair! It's incredible! I've been wearing the perfume for a few months now and I still get whiffs of my perfume throughout the day/night! Despite lasting forever, the scent is in no way too strong. Once it dries, it's very fresh and pretty. All the important men in my life (my dad, brother, and boyfriend) love this perfume on me.
Pros: lovely, lovely scent. Need I say more?
Cons: none (please note: I don't think the price is necessarily a con with this product because you really get what you pay for with perfumes. I've tried beautiful scents that cost a lot less than the Chloe but also don't last anywhere near as long. I've found that since using this perfume, I go through the bottle at a much slower rate than with any other perfume I've used just because A. I don't need to use as much just because each spray is much more concentrated; and B. it lasts all day-no need for reapplication)

One dessert bar is down for the count. It looks like Will Goldfarb's Room 4 Dessert has been closed as a result of "ownership issues". It seems like Goldfarb and his financial backers no longer agree, and they couldn't come to an agreement that would keep Goldfarb as Pastry Chef at the current location. This is the general rumor, although I'm sure that's not quite the full story.
I actually never made it over to Room 4 Dessert, but always wanted to go. I had high hopes for it since I had heard so much about it and have always had a good experience when I saw Goldfarb at different pastry events throughout the city (although Eater's comment section is tearing him apart.) I certainly understand what it's like to go through "ownership issues" (if that is indeed what he is going through), and wish him luck in his next venture, which is reported to open in the next 6 months in some other undisclosed location in NYC.
It's amazing, and incredibly scary, how fast a well known place can shut down. Maybe they'll auction off their fixtures at discounted rates so newbies like Amai can help carry the dream on. Something good should come out of all of that money and time spent building a place. Now I just wonder when, and if, Tailor is ever going to open. I better get over there quickly once it does.

Republican Robitaille eyeing 2014 governor's race
August 5th, 2013 at 2:53 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's NotesBy Dan McGowan
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Just when you thought he was out, the Republican runner-up in the 2010 governor's race on Monday said he is considering running for the state's top job again in 2014.
John Robitaille, who finished two percentage points behind Gov. Lincoln Chafee in a four-way race in 2010, said Chafee's decision to join the Democratic Party and Moderate Party standard bearer Ken Block's flirtation with the Republican Party have prompted him to reassess his options.

Hi, Righty my orchid (probably a Phalaenopsis, blue dyed one) started sending out a second spike while still in bloom much to my delight! However I managed to snap it while moving it, a few mm above the second node. I let a friend look after it right after, and the blooms on the original stem are now droopy and the lowest roots are brown and squishy (so I assume overwatering). Took it out of the pot, and cut off some of the squishiest (?new word) roots to free up the drainage holes and have started letting it dry out a little. There are 3 new buds on the top next to the droopy flowers, so I guess it can't be damaged beyond repair. It has also been in full bloom for a good 2+ months! My question is....what should I do with this second spike, bearing in mind the orchid now has a slightly sad looking root system. It has produced lots of sticky sap over the wound, but I am unsure if I should leave it in hope of regrowth or just lop it off :( |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can cut spikes down to live nodes and you might get secondary spikes to grow and flower, but be warned the flower count will be less than on the primary spike. Numerous past threads on this subject can be read in the link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Past thread on this subject
I would cut off the spike and concentrate on the roots. Get the plant healthy and you'll get new, fresh spikes in the fall. Where do you live and what are your growing conditions, light, temps, etc.? Jane |
- Posted by obsidianlycanthrope none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 14 at 14:57
Thanks for you advice arthurm and jan_ny, I have cut the second spike down the the lowest live node. Really not many healthy green roots now, most are collapsed and brown and dead. I will repot it tomorrow with fresh orchid potting medium. I will post a root photo when I repot if that is ok? I am in Wales (about 20 degrees C in the day this time of year), and the plant is in a north facing window that gets night bright sun in the evening but a tree outside helps prevent direct sunlight.Thinking I may have to cut off the main bloom spike as the flowers have now switched from looking droopy to almost "skeletal". The petals now feel a little firmer and some are standing back up again, but they feel a little dry and the veins are thickened and the parts between look thinned. I Would like your valuable opinions if you think it is best to chop the main spike off to try and save the plant (grow more roots specifically...) |
The flowers are finished. Cut the spike off. You are not giving the plant enough light. Do you have a window which gets some morning sun? Jane |
- Posted by obsidianlycanthrope none (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 14 at 18:16
Aye I was thinking it is best to cut the spike off now :(. Should I cut it right down at the bottom of the spike, or above the second live node? Sure it will recover for next time I will keep a good eye on the roots from now on! |
Cut it down to the base of the spike. Give it good care over the summer and you'll get new spikes in the fall. Jane |
- Posted by obsidianlycanthrope none (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 5:47
Thank you so much Jane, you are magic. Cutting the spike tonight and will move it to a sunnier window. Last question...what is up with this new leaf? I have been careful not to get water on the leaves, and i only water in the evening to avoid scorching :(. Last question, I promise! |
Looks like sunburn to me??? If so, the brown spot will stay, but the rest of the leaf should progress as normal. Also be careful watering in the evenings, you're have to be sure the portions of the plant that's above the pot will dry before nightfall, else fungal issues/crown rot can occur. Good luck, Bob |
I agree with Bob. Looks like sunburn. Jane |

Hey, guys. How are you doing? Are you hungy? Good, good. Today I'm gonna make for you basil crusted salmon with seared winner spinach and a little bit of sun dried tomato butter sauce. I'm Chef Eric Rupert and welcome to the Living Kitchen. All right. Well, let's get started, okay? When you're storing a fish, any seafood, you wanna keep it cold, you wanna keep it warm, you wanna keep it cold, right? So in this Subzero 700BR refrigerator, I got my salmon, that's good already, doesn't it? Okay. Now we're gonna sear this first, we wanna get a crust on it. I need a really hot pan and I've got a nice big skillet here over a wolf gas cook top and to that pan I'm gonna add a little grape seed oil. Why grape seed oil? You haven't used it? I like it because it's got a very high burning temperature and doesn't taste like (mush?) so it's not gonna impart a lot of flavor to the fish. Now I'm gonna salt my fish with a little sea salt, came from the sea, makes a little sense, and some fresh cracked pepper. Don't use that pre-ground stuff please, it doesn't take that much. And I see I got some smoke coming out of that pan, tell me how powerful that burner is, it also tells me that that fish isn't gonna stick to the pan. Noticed how I put it seasoned side down and I turn it away from it that way it doesn't splash and then when I flipped it back over that seasoned side will be up. All right. Here we go and now guess what I'm gonna do with it from here, now you all knew it, we wanna develop a crust in there, okay. if I mess with it now it's gonna stick and it won't have a chance to develop that crust. In the mean time I'm gonna blanch some basil for the basil (paster?) that goes on the crust. I'd put it into some boiling salted water and you might be thinking, why salted water? If you'll see how brilliant green, if the basil stays specially in the end result in the (pass there?). Now I got some ice water here, that I'm gonna shock the basil in, yeah, that means to stop the cooking and you could see it didn't take all that long to wilt down that basil. You don't wanna cook the flavor out of it, I just want to set the color. All right. So we got our blanched basil and I just get it nice and cold and lay it out with my hands here and into a food processor, I think it's time to (turn?) that salmon. Now, guess how you can tell that it's turn it. Yeah look, it's real simply. I'll just lift it up, oh sure enough, look at this, this is beautiful. Isn't that nice? Yeah. And notice how it's not sticking. Oh, you know that's gonna be great. Let's get back to our (pesto?). I've got our blanched basil and then I squeezed all the water out of it. I've got a reggiano parmesan cheese and some extra virgin olive oil. Okay. And clearly I'm measuring everything, right, okay. And some lemon juice and some lemon zest and that will go real nice with the fish, I think you can probably figure that 1 out, and a little bit of salt and fresh pepper. I love this stuff. And garlic, you wanna put in 1, 2, 12, it's your call. Okay, I'm gonna put 1 in there and let that go. All right. Back over to the fish. I'd say it's probably time to take the fish out of the pan. I'm gonna set it on a baking sheet, it's lined with parchment paper. Parchment paper is not to be confused with wax paper, okay, parchment paper doesn't burn and it doesn't allow the food to stick. Look at that. Remember I told you it's gonna be brilliant green, isn't that beautiful? All right. Now you can put a little bit on, but you know me well enough to know I'm gonna put a lot on for you. You know, you just know that's gonna be great. Well from here we're demonstrating a classic technique, that cooks all over the place use and that's to go from a cook top, cooking surface into the oven, okay, to finish it off in the oven. I've got the wolf electric wall oven here set in the convection mode to 425 degrees. Now to go with our salmon we want to sear some spinach, very hot pan and you see how it smokes like, can you... that's okay, it smells fabulous. Into that I'm gonna add some fresh grated nutmeg, it smells kinda nutty. Now, here's our spinach. If you're thinking there's no way he's ever gonna get all of that in the pan, just keep moving it around and it wilts down, real fast. When do we start this? About... couldn't have more than a minute ago. Beautiful, beautiful. Into the strainer. And you won't see a lot of liquid come out of there, you're gonna see a little bit of liquid come out of there. We'll get some nice warm plates, I have warm plates of course, there we have it. I'm gonna put a little bit of this sun dried tomato and butter sauce, not a lot. It also gives it a nice color on the plate and... let's check on the salmon. Yeah, I can see it, you can see it. Don't think you'll be disappointed. All righty. Look at that. You can plate it however you want. This is... I try it pretty simply myself. You guys are hungry, right? Did I ask you that? I forgot to ask. For you, you're very welcome. And for you. This is 1 of my favorite parts, just watching everybody's face. Oh, so that's a happy face, that's good, that's good. I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Remember, great tools, simple technique, good ingredients that's what you get. All right. You could do this. Thanks for joining me in the Living Kitchen. Thank you.

Hospital- or healthcare-acquired infections (HAI) are new infections that patients acquire as a result of healthcare interventions to treat other conditions. Estimates of prevalence of HAIs are difficult to compare between studies, due to differences in definitions used and means of data collection. Although some high-income countries have national surveillance systems for HAIs, there are fewer data available from low- and middle-income countries. Recent systematic reviews have estimated hospital-wide prevalence of HAIs in high-income countries at 7.6% and in low and middle-income countries at 10.1%.[1]
Various factors may contribute to an increased risk of infection among hospitalised patients, including decreased patient immunity due to illness, invasiveness of medical procedure, overcrowding and poor infection control practices. Some HAI are caused by antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms, which can be more challenging to treat. Although this special collection concentrates on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HAI in the hospital setting, it should be remembered that patterns of antibiotic use and/or overuse in the community influence antibiotic resistance seen in hospital infections.
This special collection presents a selection of Cochrane Reviews assessing:
The Cochrane Reviews highlighted in this special collection have been prepared by authors and editors from a diverse range of Cochrane Review Groups including the Cochrane Colorectal group, the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections group, the Cochrane Incontinence group, the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care group, the Cochrane Wounds group, the Cochrane Oral Health group, the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis and Genetic disorders group, the Cochrane Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Functional Bowel Disorders group, the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth group, the Cochrane Bone group, the Cochrane Joint and Muscle Trauma group, and the Cochrane Hepato-Biliary group.

Mupirocin ointment for preventing Staphylococcus aureus infections in nasal carriers
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the leading hospital-acquired pathogen in hospitals throughout the world. Traditionally, control of S. aureus has been focused on preventing cross-infection between patients, however, it has been shown repeatedly that a large proportion of nosocomial S. aureus infections originate from the patient's own flora. Nasal carriage of S. aureus is now considered a well defined risk factor for subsequent infection in various groups of patients. This systematic review aimed to determine whether the use of mupirocin nasal ointment in patients with identified S. aureus nasal carriage reduced S. aureus infection rates.
Infection control strategies for preventing the transmission of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in nursing homes for older people
Nursing homes for older people provide an environment likely to promote the acquisition and spread of meticillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA), putting residents at increased risk of colonisation and infection. It is recognised that infection prevention and control strategies are important in preventing and controlling MRSA transmission. This systematic review aimed to determine the effects of infection prevention and control strategies for preventing the transmission of MRSA in nursing homes for older people.
Antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce respiratory tract infections and mortality in adults receiving intensive care
The incidence of pneumonia in intensive care unit (ICU) patients ranges between 7% and 40%, and the crude mortality from ventilator-associated pneumonia may exceed 50%. Although not all deaths in patients with this form of pneumonia are directly attributable to pneumonia, it has been shown to contribute to mortality in ICUs independently of other factors that are also strongly associated with such deaths. This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of prophylactic antibiotic regimens, such as selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) for the prevention of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and overall mortality in adults receiving intensive care.
Oral hygiene care for critically ill patients to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia developing in persons who have received mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. VAP is a potentially serious complication in these patients who are already critically ill. Oral hygiene care, using either a mouthrinse, gel, toothbrush, or combination, together with aspiration of secretions may reduce the risk of VAP in these patients. This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of oral hygiene care on the incidence of VAP in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation in intensive care units in hospitals.
Antibiotic policies for short-term catheter bladder drainage in adults
Urinary tract infections account for about 40% of hospital-acquired infections, and about 80% of urinary tract infections acquired in hospital are associated with urinary catheters. This systematic review aimed to determine if certain antibiotic prophylaxes are better than others in terms of prevention of urinary tract infections, complications, quality of life and cost-effectiveness in short-term catheterised adults.
Prophylactic antibiotics to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections after urodynamic studies
There is a risk that people who have invasive urodynamic studies (cystometry) will develop urinary tract infections or bacteria in the urine or blood. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of administering prophylactic antibiotics in reducing the risk of urinary tract infections after urodynamic studies.
Urinary catheter policies for long-term bladder drainage
People requiring long-term bladder draining commonly experience catheter-associated urinary tract infection and other problems. This systematic review aimed to determine if certain catheter policies (including the use of prophylactic antibiotics) are better than others in terms of effectiveness, complications, quality of life and cost-effectiveness in long-term catheterised adults and children.
Skin preparation for preventing infection following caesarean section
The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity (particularly postoperative infection) is higher for caesarean section than for vaginal birth. This systematic review aimed to compare the effects of different agent forms and methods of preoperative skin preparation for preventing post-caesarean infection.
Preoperative bathing or showering with skin antiseptics to prevent surgical site infection
Surgical site infections are wound infections that occur after invasive (surgical) procedures. Preoperative bathing or showering with an antiseptic skin wash product is a well-accepted procedure for reducing skin bacteria (microflora). It is less clear whether reducing skin microflora leads to a lower incidence of surgical site infection. This systematic review aimed to assess the evidence for preoperative bathing or showering with antiseptics for preventing hospital-acquired surgical site infections.
Antibiotic prophylaxis for surgery for proximal femoral and other closed long bone fractures
Surgical site infection and other hospital-acquired infections cause significant morbidity after internal fixation of fractures. This systematic review aimed to determine whether the prophylactic administration of antibiotics in people undergoing surgical management of hip or other closed long bone fractures reduces the incidence of surgical site and other hospital-acquired infections.
Antimicrobial prophylaxis for colorectal surgery
Research shows that administration of prophylactic antibiotics before colorectal surgery prevents postoperative surgical wound infection (SWI). The best antibiotic choice, timing of administration and route of administration remain undetermined. This systematic review aimed to establish the effectiveness of antimicrobial prophylaxis for the prevention of SWI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
Systemic antimicrobial prophylaxis for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a surgical procedure performed to maintain nutrition in the short- or long-term. The increasing incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) contributes both an additional risk to the placement procedure, and to the debate surrounding antibiotic prophylaxis for PEG tube placement. This systematic review aimed to establish whether prophylactic use of systemic antimicrobials reduces the risk of peristomal infection in people undergoing placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes.
Methods of preventing bacterial sepsis and wound complications for liver transplantation
Bacterial sepsis and wound complications after liver transplantation increase mortality, morbidity, hospital stay, and overall transplant costs. This systematic review aimed to assess the benefits and harms of different methods aimed at preventing bacterial sepsis and wound complications in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
Peri-operative glycaemic control regimens for preventing surgical site infections in adults
Peri-operative hyperglycaemia has been associated with increased surgical site infections (SSIs) and previous recommendations have been to treat glucose levels above 200 mg/dL. However, recent studies have questioned the optimal glycaemic control regimen to prevent SSIs. This systematic review aimed to summarise the evidence for the impact of glycaemic control in the peri-operative period on the incidence of surgical site infections, hypoglycaemia, level of glycaemic control, all-cause and infection-related mortality, and hospital length of stay and to investigate for differences of effect between different levels of glycaemic control.
Different classes of antibiotics given to women routinely for preventing infection at caesarean section
Caesarean section increases the risk of postpartum infection for women and prophylactic antibiotics have been shown to reduce the incidence; however, there are adverse effects. This systematic review aimed to determine, from the best available evidence, the balance of benefits and harms between different classes of antibiotic given prophylactically to women undergoing caesarean section.
Use of plastic adhesive drapes during surgery for preventing surgical site infection
Surgical site infection has been estimated to occur in about 15% of clean surgery and 30% of contaminated surgery cases. Using plastic adhesive drapes to protect the wound from organisms that may be present on the surrounding skin during surgery is one strategy used to prevent surgical site infection. This systematic review aimed to assess the effect of adhesive drapes used during surgery on surgical site infection, cost, mortality and morbidity.
Antibiotic prophylaxis for operative vaginal delivery
Vacuum and forceps assisted vaginal deliveries are reported to increase the incidence of postpartum infections and maternal readmission to hospital compared to spontaneous vaginal delivery. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of antibiotic prophylaxis in reducing infectious puerperal morbidities in women undergoing operative vaginal deliveries including vacuum or forceps deliveries, or both.
Antibiotics versus placebo for prevention of postoperative infection after appendicectomy
Appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention. Despite improved asepsis and surgical techniques, postoperative complications, such as wound infection and intraabdominal abscess, still account for a significant morbidity. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the use of antibiotics compared to placebo or no treatment in patients undergoing appendectomy.
Interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance in patient care
Hand hygiene is regarded as an effective preventive measure against health care-associated infection. This systematic review aimed to assess the short and longer-term success of strategies to improve hand hygiene compliance and to determine whether a sustained increase in hand hygiene compliance can reduce rates of health care-associated infection.
Effectiveness of external inspection of compliance with standards in improving healthcare organisation behaviour, healthcare professional behaviour or patient outcomes
Inspection systems are used in health care to promote quality improvements, i.e. to achieve changes in organisational structures or processes, healthcare provider behaviour and patient outcomes. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of external inspection of compliance with standards in improving healthcare organisation behaviour, healthcare professional behaviour and patient outcomes.
Interventions to improve professional adherence to guidelines for prevention of device-related infections
Important risk factors associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the use of invasive medical devices (e.g. central lines, urinary catheters and mechanical ventilators), and poor staff adherence to infection prevention practices during insertion and care for the devices when in place. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of different interventions, alone or in combination, which target healthcare professionals or healthcare organisations to improve professional adherence to infection control guidelines on device-related infection rates and measures of adherence.
Interventions to improve antibiotic prescribing practices for hospital inpatients
The two objectives of antibiotic stewardship are first to ensure effective treatment for patients with bacterial infection and second support professionals and patients to reduce unnecessary use and minimize collateral damage. This systematic review aimed to estimate the effectiveness of professional interventions that, alone or in combination, are effective in antibiotic stewardship for hospital inpatients, to evaluate the impact of these interventions on reducing the incidence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens or Clostridium difficile infection and their impact on clinical outcome.
Antimicrobial drugs for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization
Eradication strategies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are variable. This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of topical and systemic antimicrobial agents on nasal and extra-nasal MRSA carriage, adverse events, and incidence of subsequent MRSA infections.
Antibiotic therapy for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in surgical wounds
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection after surgery is usually rare, but incidence can be up to 33% in certain types of surgery. Postoperative MRSA infection can occur as surgical site infections, chest infections, or bloodstream infections (bacteraemia). This systematic review aimed to compare the benefits and harms of various antibiotic treatments in people with established surgical site infections caused by MRSA.
Interventions for the eradication of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in people with cystic fibrosis
Chronic pulmonary infection with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is thought to confer cystic fibrosis patients with a worse overall clinical outcome and, in particular, result in an increased rate of decline in lung function. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment regimens designed to eradicate MRSA and to determine whether the eradication of MRSA confers better clinical and microbiological outcomes for people with cystic fibrosis.
Antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in adults
Clostridium difficile is recognized as a frequent cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and colitis. This systematic review aimed to investigate the efficacy of antibiotic therapy for C. difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD).
Short-course versus prolonged-course antibiotic therapy for hospital-acquired pneumonia in critically ill adults
Pneumonia is the most common hospital-acquired infection affecting patients in the intensive care unit. However, the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is uncertain. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of short versus prolonged-course antibiotic administration for HAP in critically ill adults, including patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
Quantitative versus qualitative cultures of respiratory secretions for clinical outcomes in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common infectious disease in intensive care units (ICUs). The best diagnostic approach to resolve this condition remains uncertain. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether quantitative cultures of respiratory secretions are effective in reducing mortality in immunocompetent patients with VAP, compared with qualitative cultures. It also considered changes in antibiotic use, length of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation.

Good gardening reads for the dark days
Autumn gardening books are an eclectic lot.
Local news partner - Plant Talk
Valerie Easton writes in her blog about gardens and the people who make them.
FROM AN urban farming manifesto to a handy encyclopedia on fruit and vegetable gardening, autumn gardening books are an eclectic lot. Whether you're seeking instruction, inspiration or simply an excuse to retire your lawn mower, look no farther than our roundup of new fall titles.
Lawns are so yesterday. "What if you could replace all or part of your lawn with a low, living carpet of plants that would never need mowing, water or fertilizer?" is the tantalizing question posed by Evelyn Hadden in her new book, "Beautiful No-Mow Yards" (Timber Press, $24.95). She goes on to confirm, in words and photos, that it's possible to create ecologically savvy gardens with a plant palette far more intriguing than turf grass. Patios, play areas, ponds and vegetable gardens fill these pages, along with lawn alternatives like clover, creeping sedum and sedges.
Ready to get rid of your lawn? Here are techniques from smothering to solarizing. Hadden offers up strategies to wean us from our lawn habit while making it clear that the price of turf grass, in time and resources, is no longer justifiable or sustainable.
If you think getting rid of your lawn is a radical idea, you'll be blown away by "Breaking Through Concrete: Building an Urban Farm Revival," by David Hanson and Edwin Marty (University of California Press, $29.95). Urban agriculture is evolving in thrilling and surprising ways, and this examination of 12 successful city farm programs updates us on how, where and what's next. The gardeners profiled are visionary, the tone political yet instructive, the examples both gritty and inspiring. From the success of Seattle's P-Patch program to kids milking goats at the Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, Calif., this is a book that will touch your heart, expand your mind and motivate you to scale up your own food production.
And here's the book to help you grow food skillfully in your own backyard: "Fruit & Vegetable Gardening: The Definitive Guide to Successful Growing" (DK Publishing, $24.95). Drawings, photos, text and layout are clear, concise, beautifully organized and to-the-point. "There are two types of lettuce: those that form hearts or heads, and those that do not ... " "Apply water economically and reduce water loss wherever possible ... " No matter if you're an experienced food gardener refreshing your memory on pruning details or researching cultivar suggestions, or a novice planting that first pumpkin or tomato, this book has the goods. It might not be as life-changing as an internship at the Royal Botanic Gardens at KEW, but it's as close as most of us will come to a dose of such keen and precise plantsmanship.
Sometimes we're so busy tending our own plots that we forget the sweep and scope of gardens around the globe. In "A World of Gardens" (Reaktion Books, $45), John Dixon Hunt ranges over centuries, civilizations and countries to explore themes and motifs from romanticism to naturalism. Hundreds of photos and drawings illustrate urban gardens, Asian and European gardens, scientific and sacred landscapes. If you can ignore the sometimes overly academic tone, you'll appreciate Hunt's knowledge and enthusiasm for gardens from first century Pompeii to 21st century California. I was left in awe of the effort humans across cultures have put into shaping landscapes and how, in turn, they've been shaped by the gardens around them.

I love the organization of the Liebherr refrigerators (drawers, especially), but external water (not ice) would really be good for my quality of life. (The Liebherr internal ice makers don't do anything for me.)
Any recommendations very welcome. |

My wife and I are staring a kitchen remodel and we are going to put in an under sink filter system since we actually don't like the indoor options. We are looking at the 24" Liebherr fridge/freezer only options (Forget the model number now). Would something like that work for you, the under sink mount? |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Fri, Apr 13, 12 at 15:45
This isn't what you asked, but I struggled with wanting a fridge with water also. I didn't want the visual messiness of external water, and internal disposers seem awkward to use as you stand there with the fridge door open. I put a $50 in-line filter (replacement filters are about $20) on my cold water line at my cleanup sink. The water tastes great! Very low-tech, cheap, and easy. No extra faucet. The water is cold, but not chilled. The few times I want chilled water, I throw a few ice cubes in the glass. Good luck! |
Thank you for the alternatives. My KD recommended an undersink filter, costs about $400. Are there many differences in how the in-line filters work (other than the price :)?. And breezygirl, can you recommend a brand or are they all basically the same? (BTW, I'm really enjoying reading your simmer fixin saga -- much more than living it, I'm sure). |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 13:29
LOL on my simmer journey! I've left that thread alone for a time because all I'm doing is waiting for a local service guy AND I'm sick about how the name calling and bashing seeped it's way into yet another thread. $400!? I bought the brand HD carried--GE. $50 for the starter kit and one filter. Replacement filter is about $25 every six months or so. Works fabulous for me, but all I'm trying to do is improve the taste, not filter out anything nasty. I live in a city prized for its famous artisan well water (beer used to be made here under that claim to fame), but the water on my side of town tastes awful. |
"Undersink filter" for $400 sounds like a high pressure Reverse Osmosis system not simply an external refrigerator type filter. The RO system removes sediment in addition to various chemicals the external filters usually remove cholrine. What you need depends on the quality of water you get at your home. |
I debated on the water dispenser for a while in the fridge. Ultimately went with a filtered water with a chiller at our second sink. Works great - nice cold clean water for drinking. And keeps traffic away from the fridge. I bought the chiller on ebay (waste king and others rebadge it) at much better price than i had seen otherwise. |
- Posted by philwojo (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Apr 17, 12 at 9:48
In my research on RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems I like the concept and the idea, but my big hold up on getting one for our kitchen remodel is that they waste a ton of water to remove the bad stuff. I have read that they only return between 5-15% of the water you put in to them. They dump the other 85-95% of the water you put in down the drain with all the "bad" stuff in that "waste" water. I get why they have to do it, just seems very inefficient to me. I would agree with Deeageaux though that for that price it sounds like an RO system and not a simple inline filter. Good luck! |

A colorful combination for the young and young at heart.
Decorating a bedroom with bold colors can be intimidating. Many start and stop with vibrant bedding and accessories, then paint the walls white – but not these daring souls. This master bedroom pulled rich peacock blue from the curtain fabric onto the walls. The room is an eclectic mix that works since the blue and green hues are sprinkled around the room. The chair was reupholstered in multiple fabrics for a bohemian look.
Re: painting the walls white… and falling flat. The white silver lined lamp shades, modern bedside tables and bedding are lost. Even the silk headboard, shag pillows and electric Hermes throw can't elevate the space. All of these details would come to life against a vibrant chartreuse wall.
Turquoise mixed with lime green, gray and a touch of peacock blue cheer things up in a tween to teen bedroom. The clean lines of the daybed and its tailored cover are brightened with the fabric selections and paper lanterns.
This bedroom decor can easily endure from infancy through the toddler years. For those up to the challenge, decorating with vibrant blue and green hues will take a room from dreary to dreamy at any age.
For another blue and green beauty, don't miss Diamond Baratta's Turquoise Harlequin Kitchen.

Hours after the winner is crowned, fans can grab Wincraft's official NFL-licensed Super Bowl towels declaring the champion at team shops and specialty stores nationwide.
The souvenir towels are almost exact versions of the locker room towels -- also made by Wincraft, an NFL licensee for 40 years -- that players from the winning team will use on Sunday after the game is over.
"We've provided NFL towels for locker room use for the past three Super Bowls," said Schipper, a VP. These towels are typically bestsellers among the company's more than 200 Super Bowl-themed products.

It was as thrilling a sports story as we'd seen in decades—the type of thing your grandmother calls to ask if you've heard about. Everyone knew Jeremy Lin, instantly. At its epicenter, MSG coalesced around Lin and rocked in a way it never has before. (Spike Lee, who would know as well as anyone, told me Linsanity was the loudest he'd ever heard the Garden.) Part of it was because he was such a sudden success; part of it was because he was playing in New York; part of it was because he was so unknown, such a breath of fresh air in a sports landscape often choked by hype and bluster; and part of it, of course, the largest factor, everybody (including Lin) admits, was that he was Asian-American. He became the symbol of the changing face of the world, now taking over a sport in which people like him were considered a joke.
He inspired fans in Asia even though he'd only been there a few times. When he took a trip to Taiwan and China this summer, he was so mobbed that he rarely left his hotel room. ("The first time I went to Taiwan, there were cameras, paparazzi, TV stations outside my hotel twenty-four hours a day nonstop." A video from the trip of Lin sneaking out in the middle of the night wearing a Hello Kitty costume went viral.) He's become an outsize figure in a country where he does not live or speak the language. "It's a unique thing that I have this platform and I can grow the game there," he says, "but honestly, I find it a bit scary."
Of course, being an out-of-nowhere Asian-American point guard had its downsides, and once Lin broke huge, a lot of the creeps came out of the woodwork. Incidents ranged from the ugly—that supposed accident when an ESPN editor used "Chink In The Armor" to headline a story about a Lin-Knicks loss—to the legitimately nasty, like when Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, after Lin's historic win over the Lakers, tweeted, "Some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight." (That one is actually offensive on about four or five different levels.) At one point, I saw a sign at the Garden that said LIN YOU LONG TIME. Lin, who met with the apologetic ESPN editor, says he never really was upset by any of this. He'd seen it all before.
"In my younger days, it would make me really angry. I would just get really pissed," he says. "I think the comments in college were pure racism. Stuff that was said by opposing players, opposing fans, opposing coaches. So none of this was even close to that."
But one thing Lin agrees his race did cost him might be best described as, in the words of George W. Bush, the soft bigotry of low expectations. The key part of Lin's story, the reason the world was so inspired by him, was that he was never really given a chance. He was undrafted out of college and spent a year-plus in the Development League or at the very end of an NBA bench. "I'm going to be honest, playing in D-League games is tough," he says. "We got way more fans at Harvard games. It feels like a demotion, and it feels like if you have one bad game then the thought gets in your brain: I might get cut."
Lin felt this acutely. He tells me, to my shock, that when he graduated from Harvard in 2010 and wasn't selected in the NBA Draft, he decided that if it turned out that he needed to play overseas (as is commonplace for those who don't make the NBA), he was going to give himself one more year, and then he would quit and get a real job. "I absolutely would not have liked playing in Spain or somewhere like that, so I was just gonna do it a year," he says. "Then I was gonna be done." As a Harvard graduate, I ask him, what would you have done instead? He laughs. "I have no idea, man." Lin really was that close to hanging up his sneakers at 23.
You might think his race has something to do with those perceived limitations after turning pro; Lin certainly does: "If I can be honest, yes. It's not even close to the only reason, but it was definitely part of the reason." And it didn't end with Linsanity. "There's a lot of perceptions and stereotypes of Asian-Americans that are out there today, and the fact that I'm Asian-American makes it harder to believe, even crazier, more unexpected," he says. "I'm going to have to play well for a longer period of time for certain people to believe it, because I'm Asian. And that's just the reality of it." It's not all that dissimilar from what Yao Ming went through. "When Yao came out his rookie year as the first pick of the Draft, you have Charles Barkley saying, 'If he scores seventeen points in a game, I'm going to kiss a donkey's butt,' " Lin says. "If you do it for long enough, I think you would get the respect."

Reviews for Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Sort By :
"This is an excellent recipe. I added a half tsp more vanilla."
"Excellent recipe! It is rich and buttery and everything a great pound cake should be! I sometimes add some flaked coconut to the batter. This is one of my favorite cake recipes."
"I have made this cake for years and it is always a hit. I use Swans Down Cake flour, omitting the need for soda and salt. Also, 2 sticks butter and 1 stick margarine and I add only the vanilla extract to batter. Place cake in cold oven, then bake 300 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Now if you really want to make this cake extra special, add 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in saucepan, bring to rolling boil, remove from heat, add 1 teas. each...vanilla, almond, lemon extract. When you remove cake from oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake with a wooden skewer, and immediately pour the hot sugar water over the cake. (if cake residue remains on the wooded skewer, that is ok...you don't want to overcook this cake! Cool for 30 minutes before removing from pan. I bake this cake in a long loaf pan
by Wilton...this is a large cake and will serve about 15-20 people. Freezes well.""I followed the recipe and its extremely good! one of my favorite pound cakes!"
"Happy mother's day to me! I used 2 9" round pans (and a 5" round so the 9's wouldn't be too full) lined with waxed paper. Baked 45-55 min. Used the 5" to taste test. Yumm!! Split the 2 9" layers and spread with lemon curd. Then mixed a can of Solo raspberry filling and 1/2 c. frozen raspberries broken into small pieces and spread between the 2 layers. Frosted with a citrus buttercream. Really fabulous but I also equally liked the plain cake with no gilding. Great recipe!"

Vice regent Laura Boyd asked members to share favorite memories from Christmases past. Ellen McReynolds said that as children, she and her two siblings stayed up late one Christmas Eve to wait for Santa, with a fire still burning in their fireplace. Their mother told them that Santa would not be stopping at their house that year because of the fire, since he would not be able to come down the chimney. They did, however, have presents under the tree the next morning.
Jane Lucchesi reported on the progress of the veterans' home planned for Bradley County, saying that most are still hopeful that the veterans' home will be built and will not be delayed. She asked anyone who can help in any way to reach this goal to please do so.
Joy Harden, American Indian chairman, reported on the plight of Cherokee women during the Trail of Tears.
Jeannine Scott, National Defense chairman, shared a quote by John F. Kennedy, "Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain."
Maggie Evans, Insignia chairman, explained the process for ordering DAR pins.
Included in the president general's message from American Spirit magazine was the topic of "Spy Games" during the Revolutionary War.
"Spying was critical to the success and failure of both American and British sides in the Revolution, supplying information about strategy, troop movements and supplies, and sometimes preventing battles from happening," says John A. Nagy, author of "Invisible Ink: Spycraft of the American Revolution." Spying was a risky business, since anyone who was caught faced the death penalty.
General George Washington employed a large network of spies and designed sophisticated fake battle plans to fool the British. Spies used codes, ciphers, invisible ink, pen quills, blind drops, buttons, hollow balls, flowers and even laundry to secretly slip messages across enemy lines.
Quill letters were large feathers that had messages jammed into their hollow shafts. Messages were also sewn under cloth-covered buttons, and small hollow silver balls served as hidden compartments for secret messages. The hollow balls could be swallowed if the spy were to be captured, and could hopefully be coughed up to retrieve the messages once the danger had passed.
In a "blind drop," one spy would pass information to another without the two meeting directly. Letters were often sent on a circuitous route through rural areas to avoid British troops. In one particular spy ring which operated near Long Island, N.Y., when one spy wanted to alert another of his arrival, he would have Anna Smith Strong, a spy who lived in the area, hang a black petticoat on her clothesline. She would later place a specific number of handkerchiefs on her clothesline to signify the cove on Long Island Sound where the secret messages were stored.
During the business session of the meeting, Linda Foster gave the treasurer's report, Gussie Ridgeway read the minutes of the previous meeting and Helen Riden gave the Registrar's report.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was remembered, with several ladies sharing their memories of that day and what they were doing when they learned of the attack.
After Christmas gifts were exchanged, baskets of fruit were passed around by the hostesses.
Mrs. Dietrich thanked hostesses Mildred Maupin, Rinehart Lackey and Ellen McReynolds before adjourning the meeting.

Emo Phillips' early comedy years were not easy ones. ''When I was a kid, I used to always insult people, and they constantly beat me up,'' he recalls in a voice distinguished by adolescent cracks and squeaks. ''A lot of comics use humor as a defense mechanism, but I was never that good. I was funny enough to get myself beaten up, but never funny enough to get out of the beatings. I guess that's why I like the stage. Had I not learned to use it as a safe haven for joke telling, I would still get punched on a regular basis.''
Luckily for 35-year-old Phillips, audiences now find his brand of humor appealing enough to keep him onstage and away from bullies almost every night. Between constant touring and regular appearances alongside David Letterman and Arsenio Hall, he recently found time to film a new comedy special, An American Mammal in London.
Phillips has honed an act that consists largely of short but enthusiastic setups followed by drolly confused punch lines: ''I was in Trafalgar Square today, ripping out nose hairs.'' Pause for a beat and a facial tick. ''Oooh, those sleeping winos hate that.'' Phillips' romantic relationships get similar treatment in this concert taped at London's Playhouse Theatre: ''My girlfriend's mad at me because I told her she looks sexy with black fingernails,'' he says. ''Now she thinks I purposely slammed the car door on her hand.''
Phillips says he sticks to subjects that are closest to his heart: eating, sleeping, fighting. ''I'm attracted to the most basic, primal things,'' he explains. ''That's why I call the new show An American Mammal in London. This may sound stupid, but I try to do things that can be understood by humans as well as animals turtles, porpoises, and apes or something. If there was a comic who could make animals laugh, I'd hope to be him.''

Hi I have a focus & when I'm driving I get a creaking noise from the rear sounds like its coming from inside the boot somewhere ,,,,,can anybody help,,,,

Have you checked your suspension, bushes and springs?

wheel brace tapping off the wheel jack?
July 9, 2012, 1:30 am
Most likely cause is either boot lid stops need adjusting or rear seat release catch needs adjusting I know that sounds crazy but I've spent hours in cars finding squeaks rattles and knocks and these are culprits on focus' you didn't say what age your focus is if it early 1998-2005 then this is very likely places good luck :-)
July 9, 2012, 8:46 am
May sound like a stupid suggestion, but look at the parcel shelf. That is notorious for little squeaks and rattles.

Had a Mk2 Mondeo that had a squeaky rear, drove me mad (quite literally) eventually got really loud and I ended up stripping out the entire rear, parcel shelf, seat, plastic trims, wheel and tools, still there, this time louder. Was about to put it down to an anti roll bar or suspension link as it was far worse over bumps and stuff.
The one day in the work car park chatting with some colleagues, I lent back on the rear hatch and it made the squeak. I did it again and it squeaked, I could now see there was about 4-6mm movement on the rear hatch from where the rubber blocks it closes against rest. All this time the hatch was moving around in the latch hold down squeaky against the rubber seals. Five minutes last with the hold down latch and blocks adjusted, job done! Goes to show it can sometimes be the most obvious thing that you completely rule out for it not being obvious!
Good luck with your squeaky!

I need help diagnosing my peach tree at our new house. Previous owners did not prune dead branches or vertical shoots. Probably didn't fertilize either. Are these from a lack of nitrogen? The majority of leaves are green and healthy, and half the fruit are also good looking. However, many have these little spots and they do not appear to have grown in the past few weeks. Our neighbor's tree is almost ripe. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you |
