It's no secret I have one very picky eater in my house. My 10 year old son has been a picky little guy since he started solid foods, refusing to eat meat. The pediatricians all said it was a phase he would grow out of and ten years later, I still find myself getting creative in the kitchen to get protein in his diet.
Over the years I've learned how to dish out some creative concoctions in the kitchen to hide meat in foods that he already loves. Of course, my daughters are quite the opposite so I find myself creating ways to hide vegetables in meat.
Creative Ways to Hide Protein
- French Toast – This hearty breakfast food may look like bread and sweet syrup on the outside but if you soak the bread in egg yolks, it's an easy way to slip protein in a meal.
- Stuffed Vegetables – From tomatoes to mushrooms, it's easy to hide meat inside these tasty vegetables when you create a non-traditional "stuffed mushroom". A little rice, ground meat and sauce fits perfectly inside these "Trojan Horse" vegetables.
- Protein Alternatives – If you have the pickiest eater in the world, you may have to get even more creative and find alternative sources of protein outside of typical meats. Try using yogurt, string cheese, protein powder shakes or peanut butter sandwiches to get a little extra protein in their diet.
Creative Ways to Hide Fruits and Vegetables
- Scrambled Eggs – Most kids love scrambled eggs for breakfast and if you had a touch of minced vegetables, it makes it easy for them to devour their least favorite food group.
- Juice It – Orange juice is a great base for other juices such as carrot juice. Mix them together to create a tasty and healthy drink.
- Meat Mixture – Whether your making spaghetti, meat loaf or burgers, you can hide finely chopped vegetables right into the meat mixture and the kids won't suspect a thing.

Hey guys, gals, and gurus;
I have searched the forum, but I'm still not satisfied with what I have put together in my head about my tomatoes. I am growing German Giants, Belgian Giants, and Hungarian Pusta Kolox Heirlooms this year out on my deck. I also have beefsteaks, big boys, and better boys out in the main garden. The heirlooms were growing extremely well until last week. The new foliage as well as some of the older foliage has started to exhibit burns along the tips and edges. I have examined the possiblility of nitrogen burn, but not all of the leaves are affected. I have suspended my fertilization program for now, anyway. Some of the newer blossoms are also drying up early, or dying before the bloom breaks. It started with a few, but seems to at least affect all of them in some way. It's just the tips, and it looks almost like they got too close to an open flame and burned.No yellowing whatsoever. We are experiencing a lot of hot,dry, extremely windy weather here for the past two weeks. That is also about when the problem started to show itself. If it's the weather, fine, but does this sound like any other blight, wilt, or any other kind of treatable garden disease to you guys? It's bugging me badly. In other news, my toms in the main garden have red fruit and big green fruit. I fried my first batch of greens last night and they were the best ever. Big,juicy, and nicely sour. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hey guys, I have never had it happen until this year, but I think that the burn may have been caused by watering and strong sunlight. I had always heard that water droplets could act as prisms, focusing the suns rays and burning the plants' leaves. I didn't believe it because I've been growing for many years and never seen it, but I suppose it does happen. The problem seems to have resolved itself. I have switched watering from early morning to after 5. I guess I freaked out because heirlooms are supposed to be more succeptable to disease. |

As of Friday, March 15, 2013
© Copyright 2015
Gwinnett Daily Post
LILBURN -- As far as Hunter Thornton was concerned, Grayson standout Austin Meadows had done enough damage for one night.
The Parkview catcher gunned down the nation's top-rated high school prospect trying to steal third while representing the potential tying run to snuff out a Rams rally in the top of the seventh, helping preserve the Panthers' 7-6 win Friday at Hugh Buchanan Field.
Thornton also had a hit in the middle of a two-out, four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth that helped Parkview (4-1, 2-0) erase early Grayson (4-4, 1-1) leads of 5-0 and 6-3 to get a key early-season Region 8-AAAAAA victory.
"Both groups came out ready to play," Parkview coach Chan Brown said. "Down 5-0, the kids could've shut it down, but they didn't, and it paid off for them. I'm proud of them.
"(Friday) night's game is a momentum builder. Now, we've got to build off it and get better day after day."
The Panthers found themselves in a big early hole after Meadows blasted a two-run home run in the top of the first and Jeril Dawson added a three-run homer an inning later to give Grayson a 5-0 lead.
Daino Deas helped pull Parkview to within 5-3 with a three-run bomb of his own in the bottom of the second, but it looked like Meadows had given the Rams momentum back by manufacturing an insurance run with his legs in the top of the fifth.
The 6-foot-3, 212-pound center fielder legged out a slow roller to second to lead off the inning, then stole second and third and then scampered home when Thornton's low throw bounced away from third baseman Rob Youngblood to extend Grayson's lead to 6-3.
It was a throw, and a corresponding mechanical error, Thornton would remember.
"The first throw, I felt myself pulling off," Thonton said. "But I fixed it in the dugout (between innings)."
It was a correction that would pay dividends later in the game, but not before Parkview put together a clutch two-out rally in the bottom of the inning.
Thornton sandwiched a single between RBI hits from Josh Hart and Micah Finley to pull Parkview to within 6-5 before the Panthers took advantage of a wild pitch and a balk to not only catch the Rams, but grab their first lead of the night at 7-6.
Grayson wasn't done yet, especially after Meadows led off the top of the seventh with a double to the gap in left-center -- his third hit of the night.
After Sam McCoy induced a pop-up to third from Taylor Allum, Grayson coach Jed Hixson decided to roll the dice by giving Meadows and his blazing speed the green light.
But the third time was the charm for Thornton, who threw a strike to third to allow Youngblood to make the slap tag for the out.
"(The situation was) really not going to change how we play. We were going to be aggressive," Hixson said. "We just wanted to let (Meadows) play. It just didn't work out."
Thornton's play became even bigger when Brandon Benson sent a grounder into the hole between first and second for an infield single.
But McCoy buckled down and struck out Korey Anderson to end Grayson's attempt at a rally, and the game, and pick up his first save of the year.
Andrew Dorminey (1-0) threw of an inning, pitching around a walk and a hit and striking out one, to pick up the win in relief of Parkview starter Mac Marshall.
Finley, meanwhile, had a huge night at the plate for the Panthers by going 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI, while McCoy also had a hit and an RBI.

Expert Viewpoint: Digital Signage Trends
Jun 2, 2009 12:00 PM, By Ken Goldberg
A look at where digital signage networks are headed in the future.
Server and centralized software
The centralized server will house a content library and host software that will typically have important functions including:
- Enabling management of content and creation of player and group-level playlists
- Distributing the content to players
- Allowing remote administration of media players and displays
- Managing communications between media players and the server
- Collecting and reporting diagnostic data
- Managing users.
Related Links | ||||||
The server can be owned and hosted by the network owner (also referred to as an enterprise model), although this is typically only economical for either very large, geographically diverse networks or small, single-site networks.
A more pervasive model is the software as a service (SaaS) model, in which the server and software are owned and managed by a software provider and paid for on a per-media-player, per-month subscription basis that covers the cost of bandwidth from the server to the media players. The SaaS model has proven to be more popular for startup and growing networks, as it drastically reduces initial capital costs, reduces the need for IT personnel, and provides for predictable, scalable costs. Most SaaS software is accessed by a web browser, but some providers require proprietary client-side software for user work¬stations. SaaS models also allow AV integrators to offload technical support and training to the software provider so they can focus on the design and deployment of the physical network.
Media players
The media player is the device that provides the interface between the server and the display. The media player is typically an IP-addressable appliance or a small-form-factor PC. In each case, it is capable of storing and playing content, managing playlists, and providing a communication link to both the server and the display. Appliance media players will typically have the required software embedded by the manufacturer. PC media players may require the installation of player software prior to deployment. Key factors in determining the appropriate type of media player for a specific deployment include:
- Reliability: Fanless players will have fewer failures than players with fans; some devices even offer a solid-state hard drive, eliminating moving parts altogether.
- Operating system: Offerings will include Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Windows XP Embedded. Windows XP Embedded and Linux offer the most security and lower cost of ownership. Windows Vista or XP Pro may be fine for smaller networks.
- Output: Media players offering multiple channels of output may be able to drive different content on multiple displays from a single device. The cards are expensive, and there is then a single point of failure for multiple displays. Single-channel output devices will require one player for each desired channel of output, but they can be outfitted with a signal splitter to drive the same content to multiple screens. Choices will depend upon the objectives of the customer and his or her budget.
- Peripherals: Media players should have the ability to support a USB keyboard in case field service is required. They should also handle Wi-Fi antennae, remote controls, and other peripherals.
- Storage: Most media players store content and playlists locally and play them directly from a hard disk drive. Others are more like set-top boxes and manage a stream of content from the Internet. While the streaming devices are significantly less expensive, the store-and-forward architecture is far more pervasive in large part because it does not require a persistent Internet connection to play content. Choices will depend upon the planned content strategy.

Abstract: | Background: There has been an increased interest in the use of telemedical applications in clinical practice in recent years. Considerable effort has been invested in trials and experimental services. Yet, surprisingly few applications have continued beyond the research and development phase. The aim of this study is to explore characteristics of successfully implemented telemedical applications. Methods: An extensive search of telemedicine literature was conducted in order to identify relevant articles. Following a defined selection process, a small number of articles were identified that described characteristics of successfully implemented telemedical applications. These articles were analysed qualitatively, drawing on central procedures from Grounded Theory (GT), including condensation and categorisation. The analysis resulted in a description of features found to be of importance for a successful implementation of telemedicine. Subsequently, these features were discussed in light of Science and Technology studies (STS) and the concept of 'social negotiation'. Results: Telemedical applications introduced into routine practice are typically characterised by the following six features: 1) local service delivery problems have been clearly stated, 2) telemedicine has been seen as a benefit, 3) telemedicine has been seen as a solution to political and medical issues, 4) there was collaboration between promoters and users, 5) issues regarding organizational and technological arrangements have been addressed, and 6) the future operation of the service has been considered. Conclusions: Our findings support research arguing that technologies are not fixed entities moving from invention through diffusion and into routine use. Rather, it is the interplay between technical and social factors that produces a particular outcome. The success of a technology depends on how this interplay is managed during the process of implementation. |

Abstract: | Background: Cowpox virus (CPXV), a rodent-borne Orthopoxvirus (OPV) that is indigenous to Eurasia can infect humans, cattle, felidae and other animals. Molecular characterization of CPXVs isolated from different geographic locations is important for the understanding of their biology, geographic distribution, classification and evolution. Our aim was to characterize CPXVs isolated from Fennoscandia on the basis of A-type inclusion (ATI) phenotype, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles of atip gene fragment amplicon, and phylogenetic tree topology in conjunction with the patristic and genetic distances based on full length DNA sequence of the atip and p4c genes. Methods: ATI phenotypes were determined by transmission electron microcopy and RFLP profiles were obtained by restriction enzyme digestion of the atip gene fragment PCR product. A 6.2 kbp region spanning the entire atip and p4c genes of Fennoscandian CPXV isolates was amplified and sequenced. The phylogenetic affinity of Fennoscandian CPXV isolates to OPVs isolated from other geographic regions was determined on the basis of the atip and p4c genes. Results: Fennoscandian CPXV isolates encoded full length atip and p4c genes. They produce wild type V+ ATI except for CPXV-No-H2. CPXVs were resolved into six and seven species clusters based on the phylogeny of the atip and p4c genes respectively. The CPXVs isolated from Fennoscandia were grouped into three distinct clusters that corresponded to isolates from Norway, Sweden and Finland. Conclusion: CPXV is a polyphyletic assemblage of six or seven distinct clusters and the current classification in which CPXVs are united as one single species should be re-considered. Our results are of significance to the classification and evolution of OPVs. |

Abstract: | Background: Poxvirus-vectored vaccines against infectious diseases and cancer are currently under
development. We hypothesized that the extensive use of poxvirus-vectored vaccine in future might result
in co-infection and recombination between the vaccine virus and naturally occurring poxviruses, resulting
in hybrid viruses with unpredictable characteristics. Previously, we confirmed that co-infecting in vitro a
Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) strain engineered to express influenza virus haemagglutinin (HA) and
nucleoprotein (NP) genes with a naturally occurring cowpox virus (CPXV-NOH1) resulted in recombinant
progeny viruses (H Hansen, MI Okeke, Ø Nilssen, T Traavik, Vaccine 23: 499–506, 2004). In this study we
analyzed the biological properties of parental and progeny hybrid viruses.
Results: Five CPXV/MVA progeny viruses were isolated based on plaque phenotype and the expression of influenza virus HA protein. Progeny hybrid viruses displayed in vitro cell line tropism of CPXV-NOH1, but not that of MVA. The HA transgene or its expression was lost on serial passage of transgenic viruses and the speed at which HA expression was lost varied with cell lines. The HA transgene in the progeny viruses or its expression was stable in African Green Monkey derived Vero cells but became unstable in rat derived IEC-6 cells. Hybrid viruses lacking the HA transgene have higher levels of virus multiplication in mammalian cell lines and produced more enveloped virions than the transgene positive progenitor virus strain. Analysis of the subcellular localization of the transgenic HA protein showed that neither virus strain nor cell line have effect on the subcellular targets of the HA protein. The influenza virus HA protein was targeted to enveloped virions, plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic vesicles. Conclusion: Our results suggest that homologous recombination between poxvirus-vectored vaccine and naturally circulating poxviruses, genetic instability of the transgene, accumulation of non-transgene expressing vectors or hybrid virus progenies, as well as cell line/type specific selection against the transgene are potential complications that may result if poxvirus vectored vaccines are extensively used in animals and man. |

Abstract: | Background In real-time PCR data analysis, the cycle threshold (CT) method is currently the gold standard. This method is based on an assumption of equal PCR efficiency in all reactions, and precision may suffer if this condition is not met. Nonlinear regression analysis (NLR) or curve fitting has therefore been suggested as an alternative to the cycle threshold method for absolute quantitation. The advantages of NLR are that the individual sample efficiency is simulated by the model and that absolute quantitation is possible without a standard curve, releasing reaction wells for unknown samples. However, the calculation method has not been evaluated systematically and has not previously been applied to a TaqMan platform. Aim: To develop and evaluate an automated NLR algorithm capable of generating batch production regression analysis. Results Total RNA samples extracted from human gastric mucosa were reverse transcribed and analysed for TNFA, IL18 and ACTB by TaqMan real-time PCR. Fluorescence data were analysed by the regular CT method with a standard curve, and by NLR with a positive control for conversion of fluorescence intensity to copy number, and for this purpose an automated algorithm was written in SPSS syntax. Eleven separate regression models were tested, and the output data was subjected to Altman-Bland analysis. The Altman-Bland analysis showed that the best regression model yielded quantitative data with an intra-assay variation of 58% vs. 24% for the CT derived copy numbers, and with a mean inter-method deviation of × 0.8. Conclusion NLR can be automated for batch production analysis, but the CT method is more precise for absolute quantitation in the present setting. The observed inter-method deviation is an indication that assessment of the fluorescence conversion factor used in the regression method can be improved. However, the versatility depends on the level of precision required, and in some settings the increased cost effectiveness of NLR may justify the lower precision. |

Abstract: | Background: The VELO study is a comparative study of two Community Mental Health Centres
(CMHC) in Northern Norway. The CMHCs are organized differently: one has no local inpatient
unit, the other has three. Both CMHCs use the Central Mental Hospital situated rather far away
for compulsory and other admissions, but one uses mainly local beds while the other uses only
central hospital beds. In this part of the study the ward staffs level of competence and treatment
philosophy in the CMHCs bed units are compared to Central Mental Hospital units. Differences
may influence health service given, resulting in different treatment for similar patients from the two
Methods: 167 ward staff at Vesterålen CMHCs bed units and the Nordland Central Mental Hospital bed units answered two questionnaires on clinical practice: one with questions about education, work experience and clinical orientation; the other with questions about the philosophy and practice at the unit. An extended version of Community Program Philosophy Scale (CPPS) was used. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, non-parametric test and logistic regression. Results: We found significant differences in several aspects of competence and treatment philosophy between local bed units and central bed units. CMHC staff are younger, have shorter work experience and a more generalised postgraduate education. CMHC emphasises family therapy and cooperation with GP, while Hospital staff emphasise diagnostic assessment, medication, long term treatment and handling aggression. Conclusion: The implications of the differences found, and the possibility that these differences influence the treatment mode for patients with similar psychiatric problems from the two catchment areas, are discussed. |

Abstract: | Background: A general education in psychiatry does not necessary lead to good diagnostic skills. Specific
training programs in diagnostic coding are established to facilitate implementation of ICD-10 coding
practices. However, studies comparing the impact of these two different educational approaches on
diagnostic skills are lacking. The aim of the current study was to find out if a specific training program in
diagnostic coding improves the diagnostic skills better than a general education program, and if a national
bias in diagnostic patterns can be minimised by a specific training in diagnostic coding.
Methods: A pre post design study with two groups was carried in the county of Archangels, Russia. The control group (39 psychiatrists) took the required course (general educational program), while the intervention group (45 psychiatrists) were given a specific training in diagnostic coding. Their diagnostic skills before and after education were assessed using 12 written case-vignettes selected from the entire spectrum of psychiatric disorders. Results: There was a significant improvement in diagnostic skills in both the intervention group and the control group. However, the intervention group improved significantly more than did the control group. The national bias was partly corrected in the intervention group but not to the same degree in the control group. When analyzing both groups together, among the background factors only the current working place impacted the outcome of the intervention. Conclusion: Establishing an internationally accepted diagnosis seems to be a special skill that requires specific training and needs to be an explicit part of the professional educational activities of psychiatrists. It does not appear that that skill is honed without specific training. The issue of national diagnostic biases should be taken into account in comparative cross-cultural studies of almost any character. The mechanisms of such biases are complex and need further consideration in future research. Future research should also address the question as to whether the observed improvement in diagnostic skills after specific training actually leads to changes in routine diagnostic practice. |

Abstract: | Background: Worldwide, about 287 000 women die each year from mostly preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. A disproportionately high number of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. The Abiye ('Safe Motherhood') project in the Ifedore Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo-State of Nigeria aimed at improving facility utilization and maternal health through the use of cell phones and generally improved health care services for pregnant women, including Health Rangers, renovated Health Centres, and improved means of transportation. Methods: A one-year sample of retrospective data was collected from hospital records and patients' case files from Ifedore (the project area) and Idanre (control area) and was analyzed to determine healthcare facility utilization rates in each location. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to generate supplemental data. Results: The total facility utilization rate of pregnant women was significantly higher in Ifedore than in Idanre. The facility utilization rate of the primary health care centres was significantly higher in Ifedore than in Idanre. The number of recorded cases of the five major causes of maternal death in the two LGAs was not significantly different, possibly because the project was new. Conclusions: Giving cell phones to pregnant women and generally improving services could increase their utilization of the primary healthcare system. |

We speculate that lower plasma concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor – 1 (PAI-1) preoperatively and tissue plasminogen activator/PAI-1 (t-PA/PAI-1) complex postoperatively might predispose for enhanced fibrinolysis and increased postoperative bleeding. Totally 88 adult patients (mean age 66 ± 10 years) scheduled for cardiac surgery, were enrolled into a prospective study. Blood samples were collected pre-operatively, on admission to the recovery and at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively. Patients with a surgical bleeding that was diagnosed during reoperation were discarded from the study. The patients were allocated to two groups depending on the 24-hour postoperative chest tube drainage (CTD): Group I > 500ml, Group II ≤ 500ml. Associations between CTD, PAI-1, t-PA/PAI-1 complex and D-dimer were analyzed with SPSS. Nine patients were excluded because of surgical bleeding. Of the 79 remaining patients, 38 were allocated to Group I and 41 to Group II. The CTD volumes correlated with the preoperative plasma levels of PAI-1 (r = − 0.3, P = 0.009). Plasma concentrations of preoperative PAI-1 and postoperative t-PA/PAI-1 complex differed significantly between the groups (P < 0.001 and P = 0.012, respectively). Group I displayed significantly lower plasma concentrations of fibrinogen and higher levels of D-dimer from immediately after the operation and throughout the first 24 hours postoperatively. Lower plasma concentrations of PAI-1 preoperatively and t-PA/PAI-1 complex postoperatively leads to higher plasma levels of D-dimer in association with more postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery. |

Abstract: | Background: One way to tackle health inequalities in resource-poor settings is to establish links between doctors and health professionals there and specialists elsewhere using web-based telemedicine. One such system run by the Swinfen Charitable Trust has been in existence for 13 years which is an unusually long time for such systems. Objective: We wanted to gain some insights into whether and how this system might be improved. Methods: We carried out a survey by questionnaire of referrers and specialists over a six months period. Results: During the study period, a total of 111 cases were referred from 35 different practitioners, of whom 24% were not doctors. Survey replies were received concerning 67 cases, a response rate of 61 per cent. Eightyseven per cent of the responding referrers found the telemedicine advice useful, and 78% were able to follow the advice provided. As a result of the advice received, the diagnosis was changed in 22% of all cases and confirmed in a further 18 per cent. Patient management was changed in 33 per cent. There was no substantial difference between doctors and non-doctors. During the study period, the 111 cases were responded to by 148 specialists, from whom 108 replies to the questionnaire were received, a response rate of 73 per cent. About half of the specialists (47%) felt that their advice had improved the management of the patients. There were 62 cases where it was possible to match up the opinions of the referrer and the consultants about the value of a specific teleconsultation. In 34 cases (55%) the referrers and specialists agreed about the value. However, in 28 cases (45%) they did not: specialists markedly underestimated the value of a consultation compared to referrers. Both referrers and specialist were extremely positive about the system which appears to be working well. Minor changes such as a clearer referral template and an improved web interface for specialists may improve it. |

Abstract: | Women in deprived socioeconomic situations run a high pain risk. Although number of pain sites (NPS) is considered highly relevant in pain assessment, little is known regarding the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and NPS. The study population comprised 653 women; 160 recurrence-free long-term gynecological cancer survivors, and 493 women selected at random from the general population. Demographic characteristics and co-morbidity over the past 12 months were assessed. Socioeconomic conditions were measured by Socioeconomic Condition Index (SCI), comprising education, employment status, income, ability to pay bills, self-perceived health, and satisfaction with number of close friends. Main outcome measure NPS was recorded using a body outline diagram indicating where the respondents had experienced pain during the past week. Chi-square test and forward stepwise logistic regression were applied. There were only minor differences in SCI scores between women with 0, 1-2 or 3 NPS. Four or more NPS was associated with younger age, higher BMI and low SCI. After adjustment for age, BMI and co-morbidity, we found a strong association between low SCI scores and four or more NPS, indicating that there is a threshold in the NPS count for when socioeconomic determinants are associated to NPS in women. |

Abstract: | Background: Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is defined as the difference between the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the intracranial pressure (ICP). However, since patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are usually treated with head elevation, the recorded CPP values depends on the zero level used for calibration of the arterial blood pressure. Although international guidelines suggest that target values of optimal CPP are within the range of 50 – 70 mmHg in patients with TBI, the calibration of blood pressure, which directly influences CPP, is not described in the guidelines. The aim of this study was to review the literature used to support the CPP recommendations from the Brain Trauma Foundation, and to survey common clinical practice with respect to MAP, CPP targets and head elevation in European centres treating TBI patients. Methods: A review of the literature behind CPP threshold recommendations was performed. Authors were contacted if the publications did not report how MAP or CPP was measured. A short questionnaire related to measurement and treatment targets of MAP and CPP was sent to European neurosurgical centres treating patients with TBI. Results: Assessment methods for CPP measurement were only retrieved from 6 of the 11 studies cited in the TBI guidelines. Routines for assessment of CPP varied between these 6 publications. The 58 neurosurgical centres that answered our survey reported diverging routines on how to measure MAP and target CPP values. Higher CPP threshold were not observed if blood pressure was calibrated at the heart level (p = 0.51). Conclusions: The evidence behind the recommended CPP thresholds shows no consistency on how blood pressure is calibrated and clinical practice for MAP measurements and CPP target values seems to be highly variable. Until a consensus is reached on how to measure CPP, confusion will prevail. |

Abstract: | Background: In order to maintain both quality and efficiency of health services in a small country with a scattered population, Norway established a monopoly system for 38 highly specialized medical services. The geographical distributions of these services, which are provided by one or two university hospitals only, were analysed. Methods: The counties of residence for 2 711 patients admitted for the first time in 2001 to these 31 monopolies and 7 duopolies were identified. Results: The general tendency observed was that with increasing distance from residential home to monopoly hospitals there was a declining coverage of these health services. The same pattern was found even with regard to explicit diagnoses or treatments such as organ transplantations (except renal transplantations). Duopolies seemed to yield a more even geographical distribution of the services. Conclusion: Monopolies may serve as a useful means for maintaining quality in highly specialized medical services, but seem to have an inherent tendency to do this at the expense of geographical equality. |

Abstract: | Background: Waiting time and costs from referral to day case outpatient surgery are at an
unacceptably high level. The waiting time in Norway averages 240 days for common surgical
conditions. Furthermore, in North Norway the population is scattered throughout a large
geographic area, making the cost of travel to a specialist examination before surgery considerable.
Electronic standardised referrals and booking of day case outpatient surgery by GPs are possible
through the National Health Network, which links all health care providers in an electronic
network. New ways of using this network might reduce the waiting time and cost of outpatient day
case surgery.
Materials and Methods: In a randomised controlled trial, selected patients (inguinal hernia, gallstone disease and pilonidal sinus) referred to the university hospital are either randomised to direct electronic referral and booking for outpatient surgery (one stop), or to the traditional patient pathway where all patients are seen at the outpatient clinic several weeks ahead of surgery. Consultants in gastrointestinal surgery designed standardised referral forms and guidelines. New software has been designed making it possible to implement referral forms, guidelines and patient information in the GP's electronic health record. For "one-stop" referral, GPs must provide mandatory information about the specific condition. Referrals were linked to a booking system, enabling the GPs to book the hospital, day and time for outpatient surgery. The primary endpoints are waiting time and costs. The sample size calculation was based on waiting time. A reduction in waiting time of 60 days (effect size), 25%, is significant, resulting in a sample size of 120 patients in total. Discussion: Poor communication between primary and secondary care often results in inefficiencies and unsatisfactory outcomes. We hypothesised that standardised referrals would improve the quality of information, making it feasible to use a one-stop approach for all patients undergoing surgery on an outpatient basis for inguinal hernia, pilonidal sinus and gallstones. In this study we wanted to investigate the waiting time and cost-effectiveness of direct electronic referral and booking of outpatient surgery compared to the traditional patient pathway, where the patient is seen at the outpatient clinic prior to surgery. Trial registration: This trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. The trial registration number is: NCT00692497 |

Abstract: | Background: The official statistics of persons with mental disorders who are granted disability pension (DP) in Russia and Norway indicate large differences between the countries. Methods: This qualitative explorative hypothesis-generating study is based on text analysis of the laws, regulations and guidelines, and qualitative interviews of informants representing all the organisational elements of the DP systems in both countries. Results: The DP application process is initiated much later in Norway than in Russia, where a 3 year occupational rehabilitation and adequate treatment is mandatory before DP is granted. In Russia, two instances are responsible for preparing of the medical certification for DP, a patients medical doctor (PD) and a clinical expert commission (CEC) while there is one in Norway (PD). In Russia, the Bureau of Medical-Social Expertise is responsible for evaluation and granting of DP. In Norway, the local social insurance offices (SIO) are responsible for the DP application. Decisions are taken collectively in Russia, while the Norwegian PD and SIO officer often take decisions alone. In Russia, the medical criterion is the decisive one, while rehabilitation and treatment criteria are given priority in Norway. The size of the DP in Norway is enough to cover of subsistences expenditure, while the Russian DP is less than the level required for minimum subsistence. Conclusion: There were noteworthy differences in the time frame, organisation model and process leading to a DP in the two countries. These differences may explain why so few patients with less severe mental disorders receive a DP in Russia. This fact, in combination with the size of the DP, may hamper reforms of the mental health care system in Russia. |

Abstract: | The treatment of trauma victims is a complex multi-professional task in a stressful environment. We previously found that trauma team members perceive leadership as the most important human factor. The aim of the present study was to assess the experience and education of Norwegian trauma team leaders, and allow them to describe their perceived educational needs. We conducted an anonymous descriptive study using a point prevalence methodology based on written questionnaires. All 45 hospitals in Norway receiving severely injured trauma victims were contacted on a randomly selected weeknight during November 2009. Team leaders were asked to specify what trauma related training programs they had participated in, how much experience they had, and what further training they wished, if any. Response rate was 82%. Slightly more than half of the team leaders were residents. The median working experience as a surgeon among team leaders was 7.5 years. Sixty-eight percent had participated in multiprofessional training in non-technical skills, while 54% had passed the advanced trauma life support(ATLS) course. Fifty-one percent were trained in damage control surgery. A median of one course per team leader was needed to comply with the new proposed national standards. Team leaders considered training in damage control surgery the most needed educational objective. Level of experience among team leaders was highly variable and their educational background insufficient according to international and proposed national standards. Proposed national standards should be urgently implemented to ensure equal access to high quality trauma care. |

Abstract: | Background: In three previous Norwegian studies conducted between 1974 and 1993, the annual
incidence rates of hospital admitted head injuries were 236, 200 and 169 per 100,000 population.
The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of head injury in the Stavanger region and to
compare it with previous Norwegian studies.
Methods: All head injured patients referred to Stavanger University Hospital during a one-year period (2003) were registered in a partly prospective and partly retrospective study. The catchment area for the hospital is strictly defined to a local population of 283,317 inhabitants (2003). Results: The annual incidence rate was 207/100,000 population for hospital referred head injury and 157/100,000 population for hospital admitted head injury. High age- and sex specific incidence rates were observed among the oldest, and the highest rate (882/100,000) among men above 90 years. More than 50% of the injuries were caused by falls. Conclusion: Comparison with previous Norwegian studies indicates decreasing annual incidence rates for hospital admitted head injury during the last 30 years. |

Financially, home buyers looking to move-up have a much easier time than first-timers, who are trying to scrape up enough cash to cover a down payment and closing costs. But trade-up buyers face a whole new complication: Buy first or sell first?
See Our Special Report: Buying & Selling a Home
Buy First
This strategy makes the most sense if you're in a hot market where you're likely to encounter a bidding war over prime real estate.
The main risk here is that you could get stuck making payments on two houses if your old home doesn't sell fast enough. Plus, you will have to come up with the cash for a down payment.
Many people use their home-equity line of credit as a "bridge" or "swing" loan to supply the new down payment. But you need a robust income to qualify for payments on three mortgages: the old mortgage, the bridge loan and the new home mortgage.
The lender will probably turn you down for the new mortgage if the payments on all three (plus any other outstanding debt) total more than 36% of your gross income (in some cases lenders may stretch the maximum to 45%). The burden of three mortgages could force you to jump at a low-ball offer -- and you can expect such offers once buyers tour your empty house and realize you're under the gun to sell.
Renting out the old home is another option, and maybe a better financial move if the rent checks more than cover the mortgage and the expense of upkeep. Tax deductions could even put you ahead of the game.
See Also: Home Buyer's Survival Kit
If you end up renting out your old house, most lenders will consider up to 75% of rent payments as income, as long as you have a signed lease.
Keep the rental temporary, though, and keep trying to sell the house if the sale will produce a profit. To claim that profit tax-free, you need to have lived in the home for two of the five years preceding the date of sale.
Sell First
Why not just make your offer to buy a new home contingent on selling your old one? Because if sellers receive multiple offers, they won't even consider yours. They won't want to waste their time on an offer that may fall through.
Real estate agents prefer that you sell first and put off serious shopping until after you've accepted an offer on your current home. That's safer for them: They don't want to waste their time nor risk loss of commission check.
Trouble is, if you've already agreed to vacate your home in 60 days, you could feel tremendous pressure to settle for a house that falls short of your ideal. And if the sellers of the house you want know you need to find a home quickly, it can be all that much harder to negotiate a good price.
If you sell first, you can take some of the heat off by negotiating better terms for your home sale.
Aim for a longer period until closing -- say, 90 days instead of 60 -- or ask the buyers if they would consider a short-term rent-back to you for another month or two after closing. (They may agree to your terms if it's a seller's market or they really want your home). Offer a security deposit -- say, a couple of thousand dollars -- and a daily rent that covers their new mortgage costs. Both parties should check with their homeowners insurance company to make sure their homes and possessions are covered during a temporary rent-back.

The U.S. Defense Department's $100 billion missile defense program is paying major economic dividends to Arizona, according to a five-month study commissioned by The Boeing Co., a major contractor working on the system.
Any spending cuts, as may be contemplated by the incoming Barack Obama administration, would have a major impact on jobs here, according to a Boeing official.
Greg Hyslop, Boeing's vice president and program director of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense System, a key component of the overall system, said company officials are worried about comments from the incoming administration that indicate less than full support for the program.
"It's a significant concern," he said following a meeting at the Phoenix Convention Center where economists, business leaders and program officials unveiled the economic impact analysis. "Dollars cut usually translate directly into jobs that are lost in a program like this."
The system is intended to protect U.S. soil and citizen from a ballistic missile attack by a foreign rogue state. GMD is designed to knock out incoming missiles by firing interceptor missiles that crash into them in mid-flight.
The report, conducted by the L. William Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, said the program's total economic impact on Arizona in 2007 was equal to $193 million in gross state product. That includes payroll, supplier purchases and spending multiplier effects.
It employs 729 workers at a payroll cost of $94 million, but when the study includes the myriad industries that support GMD development in the state, the number of jobs rises to 1,936 with $137 million in earnings.
The study also says the average yearly compensation for GMD workers was $128,260, more than three times that of the average earnings of workers in the state.
Arizona's contribution to the missile defense program comes mainly from Orbital Sciences Corp. in Chandler, a subcontractor providing the booster rocket, and Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, which provides the system's kill vehicle and radars. However the program indirectly uses services and products from an additional 104 vendors in the state.
Ron Grabe, Orbital launch system group's executive vice president and general manager, said the program is vital to the state's economy and uses services and supplies from small machine shops to aerospace giant Honeywell International.
About 90 percent of Raytheon's workers on the program have four-year college degrees, and about 35 percent of those have advanced degrees, said Joe Maggio, deputy vice president of the company's kill vehicle program.
Lee McPheters, an ASU economist, said Boeing commissioned the school to conduct study in July, and he said it was an unbiased assessment based on facts provided by the company, its supporting businesses and the state.
"It was reviewed by Boeing, but it was in fact a completely independent study," he said.
He called the GMD program was "a jewel among aerospace programs," and the jobs it provides are "the best of the best."
During the election campaign, President-elect Obama said the technology is unproven, but he also said he would support the system if it worked. Hyslop said the system has been successful in tests although he added there's still a lot of work to be done.
He said Boeing officials didn't commission the study in response to Obama's comments, but it's part of an effort by the company to illustrate the program's benefits militarily and economically to the public.

Also dont listen to Rynth, wireless mouse gaming is noob, theres more lag in wireless then the ultrapolling high quality wire razer uses. Wireless FTW? what a joke, maybe it works for you in WoW...

Balancing error.
Type of error cited by the Executive Steering Committee for A.C.E. Policy in its recommendation not to adjust census counts for congressional redistricting. Balancing error occurs when cases in the P-sample and E-sample are not treated identically (e.g., when the search area used to identify P-sample matches and E-sample correct enumerations is defined differently).
"Be Counted."
A program introduced in the 2000 census that made census questionnaires available in public places, so that residents who believed that they had been missed in the regular census enumeration could file a questionnaire.
Blue line.
Descriptive term used to differentiate basic types of addresses. Areas of residences with mainly city-style addresses (number and street) are said to be inside the blue line, and areas of residences with mainly non-city-style addresses (such as rural route and post office boxes) are said to be outside the blue line. The term derives from the color used on initial sets of maps generated prior to the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program; the 1998 implementation of LUCA targeted addresses inside the blue line and the 1999 implementation targeted those outside. Mailout/mailback enumeration was used inside the blue line and update/leave enumeration was used outside the blue line.
Block cluster.
Group of one or more census blocks expected to contain about 30 housing units, defined for use in the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation Program.
Casing check.
A program in which postal workers determine addresses for which they did not receive a questionnaire and notify the Census Bureau.
Census block.
The smallest entity for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates decennial census information; bounded on all sides by visible and nonvisible features shown on Census Bureau maps. Occasionally, especially in rural areas, drainage ditches or power lines may be used to define blocks. Because most blocks have small population and housing unit counts, only 100 percent data, or short-form data, are tabulated for them.
Census Day.
The target date of a decennial census. Census Day is the date for which census respondents are supposed to describe their household population, and for which the results of a decennial census are supposed to be an accurate representation of the nation's population. Since 1930, Census Day has been April 1 of years ending in zero.

A week after Julie Gold won the Song of the Year Grammy for her tune ''From a Distance,'' her tiny Manhattan studio apartment is still overrun with flowers. She's thrown out some of the 28 floral arrangements already, but the one from Herb Alpert (whom she has never met) is still dazzling with its two toy canaries in a white basket. Gold, 35, jokes: ''It's bigger than my life.''
But not for long. The Grammy award, coming on the heels of Bette Midler's hugely successful version of ''From a Distance,'' seems to have jump-started Gold's career. The burst of interest in her songs, and what she calls ''murmurs'' of having her do concerts and maybe even make a record, come after 18 often frustrating years in the music business. ''From 1979 to 1990,'' Gold says, ''I never paid the rent through music.'' Among other part-time jobs, she demonstrated Mr. Coffee machines and collected money over the phone for a water-filter manufacturer.
A turning point came in early 1986, when her parents shipped her childhood piano up from her hometown of Philadelphia. After squeezing it into the 10-by- 25-foot apartment she shares with two cats and two turtles and waiting a full day for the instrument to settle, Gold sat down and wrote ''From a Distance'' straight through. A friend, folksinger Christine Lavin, passed the song along to country-folk singer Nanci Griffith, who recorded it for her album Lone Star State of Mind and made it popular enough to inspire 13 other versions before Midler's.
Despite the success of ''From a Distance'' even before Midler's hit version, no one has recorded any of Gold's other songs. Is she baffled by this lack of interest? ''Of course,'' she says, ''but I've never really been in a position to show my wares.'' Midler helped with that. ''It took a Bette Midler to reach the masses,'' Gold says, ''including the masses in the music business.'' Now Gold is getting lots of calls and, she says, ''one out of 10 is a Shelley Duvall, a Cyndi Lauper, Cliff Richard's management.'' But, she adds, ''Whether anything will come of this, I don't know.''

I wonder where all the religious people get off on judging others . The man did the crime and admitted to it and serves his punishment. Case closed. Just because you go to church doesn't make you any better than anyone else. He did save a life by risking his own,more than most of you have ever done i'm sure.

Taylor and Joseph McGrath, Face Reality. One mistake anyone can overlook, but this theft went on over and over for a long period of time and it was an enormous amount. Somewhere along the way he could have felt some kind of remorse and stopped stealing. He was supposedly a man of trust in his position with the church. You're both obviously staunch Catholics (I am Catholic), but that does not diminish the severity of what this man did.
- Joseph McGrath
- December 08, 2011 - 14:50
Marg,I do not disagree with you as every person on this earth has a right to freedom of expression and I therefore assume you too are doing your best to deal with the difficult events that have occured within the Church.Each has their own moral compass to follow.In essence I am just saying that Our Church is far from perfect. There will always be mistakes, even travesties that we will weep over and work to correct with GodŌĆÖs grace. As long as people are flawed, there will always be problems to overcome. But Jesus has promised us that even the gates of hell will not prevail against us. He has given us His body for food and we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and our Blessed Mother to aid and comfort us. We have everything we need, if we will only be true to Christ instead of this world.Unfortunately in society today most find it easier to be true to the world and quietly not take a public stand.That way will never be my way.Cheap shots by unknown anti Catholic posters can be found in the many areas of the internet and all the different souces of Social and other MEDIA in today's world.Sensational media has but one objective and that is to sell its product and increase it's subscribers.That leads to sensational ,repeative reporting with the bottom line being the almight dollar.When was the last time a good RC institution,a good church deed or a giving and caring church program was covered by the MEDIA????Long ago I suspect and don't hold your breath.For example recent changes to the MASS have occurred and has never been mentioned but let something go wrong and the boys and girls in the media rooms are fast out the gates ,armed with their bigot manuals #101.To be a believer is just not in vogue today and that is so pityful indeed. As an aside the Telegram was once a newpaper one was pleased to sit and read after supper but alas no more.The tourch of that institution has been passed to a new breed who value the dollar far more than good journalism.Bet this is not posted??House rules you know???

Marg, I haven't been to church in years, and last going off it was the United Church I attended. The point of my argument was that his sentence was not light because of his affiliation with the Catholic Church, as Ed Byrne received the same sentence. I guess the goernment was just as lax as his theft was not a one time deal either. I am just expressing the fact that there are too many generalizations made based on someone's association with one faith and it is a form of discrimination. I was by no means diminishing what he did, or the fac that he should be punished, nor was I implying that it was too harsh a sentence- just that he didn't get off any easier because of his association with the Church.

@MIKE - it's not refreshing to see anyone on the receiving end of criminal activity. And every offence perpetrated by unfaithful members of the Catholic Church has been received by faithful members of the Church. it's not felt even in a remotely similar degree to that incurred by the victims themselves, but I feel it frequently when I am on the receiving end of vitriolic generalizations about all Catholics because of the crimes perpetrated by a few (though too many) that occurred when I was a child or not even born. Those individuals who committed crimes are disgusting, but it's hateful and disgusting that you paint a Church of a billion baptised with the same brush.

I'm glad Mr Power received jail time however I feel he didn't receive a long enough sentence. Shame on you Mr Power for the disgrace you have brought on your family!!!
- Taylor
- December 08, 2011 - 10:29
I don't consider two years in prison a slap on the wrist. Ed Byrne got the same sentence, and he was not acting on behalf of the Catholic Church. I don't think the Cathholic Church had anything to do with the crime or it's sentence, and am offended at the inference.
- Eli
- December 08, 2011 - 15:07
Ed Byrne got the same sentence? Depends where it's being served. Good ol' Eddie got a vacation pad in Central Newfoundland. Looks like Power goes to Her Majesty's jug. Regardless, both should have been put away for at least 10 years. Both stole big time!

- Joseph McGrath

I actually feel sad for Mr.Power as his life is now in tattered shambles.However he stole big time and the sentence was somewhat small considering the facts..The Archbishop ,the clergy and the parishioners etc. have all been wronged by this man's actions.As a practicing Roman Catholic I am moving on with the faithful within our RC church and keeping my eyes focused on the Cross rather than the missteps within our Church that have come forward over the past several decades.Really that is all one can do and that is to follow Christ through the Roman Catholic Faith knowing fully it is the only way I will live beyond the grave.The beauty of the Eucharist and Confession means far more to me then those who have turned so violently against all the RC church teaches.Each person has to make their own faith decisions but mine have in no way been lessened.I will support the RC church untill the day I die and wish the Archbishop,priests,nuns,brothers,lay volunters etc etc the very best as they labor in spreading the Gospel.Members of the Roman Catholic Church belong to the one true,holy and apostolic Church which follows the teachings of Christ since the day he revealed them to the Apostles and commanded them to spread the "GOSPELS"of good news.I note the Telegram has at least three news stories in less than a day on this case and the bias of that print media is beyond words.Next up the sentence to Lahey and then into the anti Christmas rants of reporters on rental from the cheap seat section of the local Press Club.To everyone a "HAPPY"and "HOLY CHRISTMAS"regardless of your religious beliefs.BTW I suspect this e-mail will not be shown by the TELYas it against their policy no doubt????

- christian forgiveness where
- December 08, 2011 - 14:06
Where is the forgiveness that the church preaches so often. You forgive perverts who molested children but not someone who took money? This man is paying his price for what he did and you are not entitled to judge him ,just the man upstairs !
- Shocked
- December 08, 2011 - 07:09
And the church never missed this amount of money??? I thought all churches were desperate for money to keep them going, I guess I was wrong. Shame on you sir. Hope you get the help you need.

Sources say President-elect Obama is expected to name Chicago schools chief Arne Duncan as education secretary. He has been in that position since 2001.
Watch our report and Pat Robertson's comments on new energy pursuits by clicking on the play button on the media player.
Duncan's nod is a plus for those who wanted someone with big-city school experience to make sure schools and teachers were held accountable.
Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado has been tapped to lead the interior department.
Obama has already named Steven Chu, Ph.D. as his Secretary of Energy.
The President-elect made it clear that his energy policy will be very different than the current administrations.
"The pursuit of a new energy economy requires a sustained all hands-on deck effort, because the foundation of our energy is right here in America -- the power of wind and solar, new crops, new technologies, the innovation of our scientists and entrepreneurs, and the dedication and skill of our work force," said Obama. "Those are the resources that we have to harness to move beyond our oil addiction and create a new hybrid economy."
The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama's choice supports energy efficiency and conservation, but that he has been a severe critic of coal and has serious questions about nuclear power.

About Dierks Bentley
Award-winning country music singer-songwriter Dierks Bentley comes to Horseshoe Bossier City for a concert at Riverdome on May 24, 2014.
Seven albums into one of country music's most respected and unpredictable careers, Dierks Bentley continues to grow. His latest evolution comes in the form of RISER, an album due early 2014 that stands as his most personal to date.
Dierks Bentley made a life-altering drive with his father from Phoenix to Nashville when he was 19 years old and has since forged his own path in an industry built predominantly on formula. Mixing elements of modern country, classic country, bluegrass and rock, he maintains an unmistakable identity while constantly reinventing his sound. His album Home debuted at No. 1 and spawned three consecutive chart-topping hits, marking 10 career No. 1 songs for Bentley as a singer and songwriter. His five previous studio albums have sold more than five million copies, garnered 11 Grammy nominations and earned him an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.

VENICE, Fla., Sept. 30, 2010 - Three players share the lead after today's third round of the LPGA Sectional Qualifying Tournament in Florida.
Teens Kimberly Kim (71) of Hilo, Hawaii and Plai ("Pie") Kongkraphan (70) of Thailand, along with Duramed FUTURES Tour player Lucy Nunn (69) of Lawton, Okla., moved into the lead today on the Bobcat Course at Plantation Golf & Country Club.
The leaders hold a one-shot advantage over second-round leaders Lee-Anne Pace (75) of Mosselbay, South Africa, and amateur Thidapa ("Jasmine") Suwannapura (75) of Bangkok, Thailand, tied at 3-under 213.
"Today was one of those rounds that could have been way better than it was, or way worse," said Kim, 19, who carded three birdies and two bogeys in her round. "My putting wasn't as good as it was yesterday."
Winner of the 2006 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship at age 14, Kim struggled for momentum today as the wind picked up and frequently swirled in different directions. She had two three-putt greens for bogey, but she also had two chip-in birdies, holing chips from 20 yards on both hole Nos. 4 and 12.
"I just need to play steady and finish strong on Friday," added Kim, who carries a word puzzle book for use during on-course delays.
As an Oklahoma native, Nunn finished her round in the wind with a smile on her face and a scorecard bearing four birdies and one bogey. She was one of only three players to shoot in the 60s today.
"This is just like home," said Nunn, 23, a former University of Arkansas collegian who hit 14 greens in regulation and needed 29 putts in today's third round. "The wind doesn't bother me at all."
Kongkraphan, 18, carded seven birdies today, but said she made "stupid mistakes" in her round, including a double-bogey on No. 10 when she ran into trouble in the right trees. Like many players in this week's field, the Thai player said she was "too nervous" in the recent California sectional tournament and is happy to have a second chance in this week's sectional.
Both Pace and Suwannapura lost some momentum today, each finishing the day at three over. The South African, who has won three times this season on the Ladies European Tour, carded her only birdie from 12 feet on the ninth hole.
"I felt like I was just slapping at it today, and I left a couple of in-the-hole putts short," said Pace, 29, currently No. 2 on the LET's 2010 money list. "I'll chase it tomorrow."
Former LPGA Tour member Mollie Fankhauser of Columbus, Ohio, carded a 2-over 74 to drop into sixth place at 214 (-2), while five players, including two-time European Solheim Cup player Becky Brewerton (73) of Kinmel Bay, Wales, are tied for seventh at one-under 215.
Eleven players are under par after the third round in the 72-hole qualifier for the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament in December.
This week's event has been staged on both the Panther and Bobcat courses at Plantation Golf & Country Club, host of the LPGA's Florida sectional for 23 years. The last two rounds will be held only on the Bobcat Course.
Friday's final round will begin at 8 a.m. Eastern, off both the first and tenth tees at the Bobcat Course. The leaders will tee off at 10 a.m., off the first tee.
The Florida sectional is the second of two sectional Q-Schools to determine the field of the LPGA's Final Qualifying Tournament, set for Dec. 8-12, at LPGA International on the Champions and Legends courses in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The California sectional qualifier was held two weeks ago, advancing 30 players from that event into the LPGA's final stage. Tournament fields at each of the 72-hole sectional qualifiers are cut to the low-70 players and ties after 36 holes. After four rounds, the top-30 players and ties from each sectional will advance into the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.
The final stage of LPGA qualifying will be held Dec. 8-12, at LPGA International on the Champions and Legends courses in Daytona Beach, Fla. Sectional qualifiers will be joined at the final stage of "Q-school" by current LPGA Tour members attempting to improve their status for 2011, along with players finishing Nos. 6-10, and the next top 10 players on the 2010 Duramed FUTURES Tour money list (who do not already have LPGA status).
The LPGA's Final Qualifying Tournament in Daytona Beach will be contested over 90 holes, with a cut made after 72 holes to the low 70 and ties.
To follow scores of these and other contestants throughout the week, visit LPGA.com. Daily wrap stories from the Florida sectional will be posted on both LPGA.com and duramedfuturestour.com.
