Assessing The Role Of Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation For Plantar Fasciitis
Cozzarelli and colleagues conducted the largest study to date involving the treatment of plantar fasciitis with radiofrequency nerve ablation.8 The study of 82 patients with up to 12 years of follow-up showed an 89 percent success rate. The same article reports details of the authors' technique and involves a more detailed explanation of their method for nerve localization. According to their description, these investigators will attempt to pinpoint each area of pain individually around the heel region and then perform individual ablations. Although this approach may be more laborious, it may increase the chances of success since the treatment targets a greater area.
More recently, my group has submitted a study to the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association and the study involves a prospective evaluation of patients who were randomly assigned to active or placebo treatment. Those who did not respond received the opportunity to cross over. We found that those who received active treatment demonstrated dramatic improvement within the first month while those who received placebo showed no statistically significant improvement. This manuscript is under peer review at this time.
How Does Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation Stack Up To The Alternatives?
Many alternatives exist for the treatment of common plantar fasciitis. Treatments such as corticosteroid injections, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), partial surgical release of the plantar fascia, physical therapy, arch supports and behavior modifications are all known to provide some level of relief.
However, there are associated risks with many of these treatments. Corticosteroid injections may lead to irreversible soft tissue atrophy.9 Partial release of the plantar fascia can cause collapse of the arch, cuboid crush symptoms and painful scar formation.10 Shockwave can be quite expensive and research has shown ESWT to produce a significant reduction of symptoms in approximately 50 percent of the cases following a single treatment.11
The risks associated with radiofrequency nerve ablation are comparatively low and the clinical outcomes are generally much higher. Although radiofrequency nerve ablation does give relief to those afflicted with inflammation at the origin of the plantar fascia, it is also beneficial for those with scar related heel pain, calcaneal bursitis, nerve entrapments and even fat pad atrophy. Furthermore, radiofrequency nerve ablation does not diminish the strength of the plantar fascia in any way and therefore will not result in medial arch collapse or cuboid crush conditions.
The types of complications associated with radiofrequency nerve ablation center around the types of problems normally associated with a standard injection. These problems may include a hematoma at the injection site. Also in some cases, one may have to repeat the procedure if the probe was not close enough to the affected nerve at the time of ablation.
Why Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation Has Become A 'Treatment Of Choice' For The Author
Due to the safety profile, proven efficacy and the ease of the procedure, radiofrequency nerve ablation is becoming my treatment of choice rather than a go-to treatment when all else has failed. In over 80 percent of cases, I have found that patients get almost complete relief within one month following a single treatment that normally occurs in the office.
I have found that the safety profile is outstanding with no worsening of the condition and no significant adverse events. The most common complication was bruising at the injection site.

Colorado Funded Programs and Activities
Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP)
Injury is a leading killer in all 50 states. However, due to variations in geography, weather conditions, and population groups, injury problems often vary between states. Through the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP), CDC supports grantee partners to build capacity related to the prevention and control of injuries and to develop or strengthen their injury surveillance programs, particularly those with a focus on traumatic brain injury (TBI).
National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)
NVDRS is a state-based surveillance system that links data from law enforcement, coroners and medical examiners, vital statistics, and crime laboratories to assist each participating state in designing and implementing tailored prevention and intervention efforts. NVDRS provides data on violence trends at national and regional levels; each state can access all of these important data elements from one central database.
Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program
Sexual violence, including rape, is preventable. Recognizing this, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. This landmark legislation established the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the RPE program is to strengthen sexual violence prevention efforts. It operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and six U.S. territories.
Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs)
Injury Control Research Centers conduct research in all three core phases of injury control (prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation) and serve as training centers as well as information centers for the public. Research design in these centers is interdisciplinary and incorporates the fields of medicine, engineering, epidemiology, law, and criminal justice, behavioral and social sciences, biostatistics, public health, and biomechanics.

Paul Haggis, director, moves on from politics to the story of a man trying to get his wife out of a twenty year prison sentence on a murder charge. His strategy is to plot her escape.
This new movie release is a remake of a recent French movie. Russell Crowe plays the husband, a teacher. Crowe doesn't put much spark into his character and the result is a rather mediocre movie. This Lionsgate release is not going to be a box office sizzler.
Most of Haggis' projects have revolved about people dealing with extreme conditions: "Crash", "In the Valley of Elijah", and scripts for "Million Dollar Baby" and "Iwo Jima." This new film in the movie news is no different.
"The Next Three Days" is adapted from "Anything for Her", a 2008 film, that was directed by Fred Cavaye, and was written by Guillaume Lemans and Cavaye. It starred Vincent Lindon and Diane Kruger. It's all about an English teacher at a two year college who tries to figure out how to spring his wife from jail.
John, played by Crowe, and Lara (played by Elizabeth Banks) Brennan, live in Pittsburgh with their six year old son Luke, played by Ty Simpkins. Until Lara is charged with murder, and then convicted, life is normal. Pittsburgh seems to be very high on the list as a favored location for new movie releases. "Love & Other Drugs" as well has "Unstoppable" were also filmed in Pittsburgh.
When it looks like Lara is certainly not going to get off of her charge of killing someone in a parking lot late at night, John comes to the conclusion that he's going to have to get her out of prison. He takes his inspiration from the book "Don Quixote", which he happens to be teaching in class at the moment. He interviews an author who was once in prison, played by Liam Neeson. This is one of the best scenes in this one of late falls new movie pictures.
At one point, in a scene that's not so compelling, John goes to shady underworld figures for fake passports and I.Ds and meets up with a drug dealer, played by Kevin Corrigan.
John then posts all of his Internet research on jailbreaks where anyone can see them. He also runs into a beautiful mother on the playground, played by Olivia Wilde, who, in rather random scenes, would like to take his mind off his pain.
When the time comes for John to go ahead with his jail break scheme, viewers still don't know if Lara will agree to John's plan.
Due to a certain lack of passion in "The Next Three Days", movie reviews predict that this is not going to be a hot new release, except perhaps, for big Russell Crowe fans.

Roethlisburger Isn't Counting On Bell
Posted By Blake Bass On September 25, 2013 @ 9:20 AM In News and Rumors,NFL | No Comments
[1]Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that rookie running back Le'Veon Bell is on track to make his regular season debut in London against the Minnesota Vikings this week, a return that some are looking to as a way for the Steelers running game in gear after three dismal weeks.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn't so sure that Bell will provide that boost because he isn't so sure that Bell is going to wind up playing this week. During an appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Roethlisberger said that Bell's track record makes it hard to count on him because he doesn't know whether or not Bell's doing everything in his power to stay on the field.

Are you feeling a tickling sensation in the stomach whenever the guy next door passes by? Is that a feeling that you have never had before and can't even express in words? That is love for sure and you will be happy to know that the love bug has bitten you hard. Why are you troubled then? Oh, the guy doesn't like you, right? Do not worry about how do you get a boy to like you – there are simple tricks that you can apply on your dream man and you will soon be his dream girl!
- Be noticed:
That is the first step that you need to do. Unless you are noticed, you do not exist at all. So, by hook or by crook, make him see you. If you cannot make him turn his head towards you, you will never be able to make him yours. And being noticed is not a very difficult job for women, especially when it comes to the visual creatures like the boys, who are easily convinced by a little bit of makeup and confidence.
This also includes making him understand that you are available. Hang out with girl-friends or let him know that you are single. If you are worried how do you get a boy to like you then you must drop hints that you are readily available to hang out with him.
- Be friendly:
Guys do not like grim and serious gals. If you want his attention, you have to consciously laugh, be a little flirty. You must be friendly with him in order to know him more and make him know you. Tease him a little, guys just love that! Participate in his jokes and never ever make the mistake of reacting! The moment you do so, you will ruin everything.
- Know his interests:
If you are still unsure how do you get a boy to like you, then you must know what interests him. If it is sports or science or movies or cars – do a bit of homework. It is an amazing idea to start conversation with him regarding the subject that he likes. It will compel him to spend more time with you and you never know he might leave that dumb competitor of yours and have serious interest in you because of his comfort with you for having similar interests. Even if you are not really interested in what he likes, what is wrong in pretending?
A tip:
Whatever you do, do not look desperate at any moment. It will simply turn him off and all your hard work will be wasted. These tips are jotted down for your help and the women who have succeeded in making their dream man like them back, have admitted that these are the most effective tricks. The best part is that the guys would never get to know that these are the ways how do you get a boy to like you. So, buck up and pull your socks up and you will surely win.

cant decide between these and the forces for a rail setup, what do you think?

if you are going to be riding rails i would go with these. They are softer and would give you way more feel and tweak than the force. The forces are a stiffer binding made more for all mountain riding.

Keep warm, keep well in Kirklees
Be prepared in the cold weather
Keeping warm over the winter months can help prevent colds, flu or more serious health problems like pneumonia. Find out some simple things you can do to keep warm, stay healthy and make the best use of your heating at home.
The Government's advice on staying warm over the winter aims to reduce cold-related illness and deaths. Key tips include:
- Keep your home warm. Your main living room should be between around 18-21C (64-70F) and the rest of the house at a minimum of 16C (61F). You can also use a hot-water bottle or electric blanket (but not both at the same time) to keep warm while you're in bed.
- Wrap up warm, inside and out. Several thin layers of clothes are better than one thick layer. Don't forget to wear hats, gloves and scarves. If possible, stay inside during a cold period if you have heart or respiratory problems.
- Keep active. Move around at least once an hour and don't sit down for long periods of time. Even light exercise will help keep you warm.
Eat well. Eating regular meals will help keep your energy levels up during winter. Try to have plenty of hot food and drinks and plan your meals and keep your diet as varied as possible. Aim to include five portions of fruit and vegetables daily - this includes tinned and frozen fruit and vegetables.
Stay healthy. There are things you can do that will reduce the risk of illness and protect you against the cold. Get an annual flu jab.
You can get a free jab if you:
- have serious heart, lung or kidney disease or diabetes
- have a weak immune system, caused by disease or medical treatment
- have had a stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack)
- are aged 65 years or over
- are pregnant
Contact your GP or talk to your pharmacist if you think you might qualify for a free flu jab.
- Access affordable warmth schemes and grants.
Heating and insulation improvements - The Warm Front Scheme offers grants for heating and insulation improvements up to £3,500 or up to £6,000 if your home needs oil central heating. To find out if you qualify, call a Warm Front advisor free on 0800 316 2805 (lines are open Monday to Friday from 8am-6pm and Saturdays from 9am-5pm) or visit the Warm Front website.
Winter Fuel Payments of up to £400 are available if you were born on or before July 5 1950. To find out more about Winter Fuel Payments, call 08459 151515 (8.30am-4.30pm Monday–Friday, textphone 0845 601 5613) or visit www.direct.gov.uk/coldweatherpayment or www.direct.gov.uk/winterfuel
Weather Payments may be available to you if you receive certain benefits or have a child who is disabled or under the age of five. To find out more about Cold Weather Payments contact Jobcentre Plus (you can find the nearest office in the phonebook) or visit www.direct.gov.uk/coldweatherpayment.
- Look out for elderly friends and neighbours. Check they're safe and well through the winter. Make sure they're warm enough, especially at night, and have stocks of food and medicines so they don't need to go out during very cold weather. If you are worried about a relative or an elderly neighbour, contact your local council or ring the Age UK helpline on 0800 00 99 66.

The Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.
Both of Disney''s two newest ships, the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, feature an "AquaDuck" water coaster.
The main pool deck of the Disney Dream is surrounded by the AquaDuck, a 765-foot-long water ride in a translucent tube billed as the first "water coaster" at sea.
The AquaDuck careens over the side of the ship and through one of the vessel's two smoke stacks. The pool deck also is home to a giant LED screen that plays Disney movies.
Pink, an upscale cocktail bar with a bubbly-Champagne theme, is an adults-only nightspot on the Disney Dream.
"Disney's spaces are amazing whether the kids are little or teenagers, and they make sure the adults are taken care of well," says Eileen Ogintz, the family travel expert behind TakingTheKids.com.
One of the most unusual new features of the Disney Dream is Animator's Palate, a restaurant that transforms into an undersea world as the night goes on.
Here, a shot of a table area in the eatery before dining begins.
A picture of Mickey Mouse lines the bottom of Mickey's Pool, and Mickey's hand holds up the adjacent water slide. The freshwater pool is two feet deep and is for younger children and their parents. Donald's Pool is open to all.
Billed as the most high-tech cruise ship ever built, the Dream offers a number of wonders never before seen at sea, including "enchanted art" that comes alive for passers-by.
Here, an animated "drawing" on Deck 6 of the ship that, at first, appears static.
The suite, which sleeps up to five, includes a master bedroom with queen-size bed, a living room with one wall pull-down double bed and one wall pull-down single bed, two bathrooms, a dining salon, pantry, wet bar, walk-in closets and private balcony.
The top decks of the Disney Dream are home to Donald's Pool, foreground, and Mickey's Pool, background, as well as the AquaDuck, billed as the first-ever water coaster at sea.
Disney Cruise Line's first new ship in more than a decade, the 2,500-passenger Disney Dream, was christened Wednesday in Port Canaveral, Fla.
What's the vessel like on the inside? USA TODAY's Gene Sloan offers a photo tour live from the ship.
Disney Cruise Line's first new ship in more than a decade arrived this week at its home port in Florida. The Cruise Log's Gene Sloan will offer a full report when he sails on the Dream later this month, but here's a sneak preview from the ship's unveiling.
The Disney Dream is the third and newest ship in Disney Cruise Line's fleet. The 14-deck tall, 130,000-ton vessel can accommodate 4,000 passengers.

When wild beasts roamed the UK
The Victorian period witnessed a huge surge in the number of exotic beasts in the towns and cities of England - as creatures were imported from the far reaches of the British Empire. But Victorians' enthusiasms for wild and dangerous animals had some very unpleasant consequences, says Prof John Simons.
If you were born in rural England in 1837 and never travelled more than a few miles from your home, you would have been surprisingly likely to see a hippopotamus before you died.
Koala fur and disabled butterflies
- In 1862, ships with between 20,000 and 30,000 parrots on board were regularly leaving Adelaide for London
- The mortality rates were reported to be appalling. One newspaper report speaks of seeing these boats moored at Cairo with the birds gasping for breath
- In 1889, 300,000 koalas were killed for their fur, which was exported to London. By the early 20th Century the figure was one million koalas per year
- Exotic butterflies were hugely popular with British collectors, who would "disable" their quarry by placing a drop of an opium-based tincture called laudanum on the butterfly's head. This caused the butterfly to remain flexible, so its wings could easily be opened when placed in a display case
The reign of Queen Victoria saw a surge in the construction of all manner of places where exotic animals could be viewed.
And as well as formal, educational settings - private and public zoos, natural history museums - the period brought animals for entertainment to the masses. Travelling menageries would tour towns and cities, featuring performers and their animals.
Or, if you were sufficiently interested (and wealthy), you could simply buy your own tiger or boa constrictor in a shop.
Most exotic pet shops were in London - by 1895 there were 118 wild animal dealers in London alone - but there were also shops in Liverpool, Bath and Bristol.
People could walk into a shop and purchase anything, from an elephant to a bear to a kangaroo.
And the greater politics of the British Empire drove this burgeoning industry into the rest of Europe.
Before the Suez Canal was built, for example, almost every ship coming from Asia or Africa touched land first in England. After it was built, Germany steadily overtook the UK in "the scramble for elephants".
One incident in particular became something of a legend in Victorian England. In 1857, a tiger escaped in the East End of London and prowled down St George's Street, picking up a small boy named John Wade as it went.
It was not even the first time that a tiger had been loose in that very street - one had escaped from a travelling menagerie some years earlier.
"Start Quote
End Quote Charles Jamrach's account of his struggle with a tigerI seized the crowbar myself and gave him, with all the strength I had left, a blow over the head"
This tiger was being delivered to a shop owned by Charles Jamrach who was, at that time, the pre-eminent wild animal dealer in the world. He had a network of agents all over the globe.
Jamrach stocked all manner of exotic beasts - elephants, lions, tigers, bears, tapirs, armadillos - pretty much anything. And he claimed to be able to get his clients any animal they wanted through his network of agents.
On at least one occasion he sourced a rhinoceros.
Contemporary accounts of his premises also speak of thousands of parrots and exotic birds packed so tightly together in cages that they couldn't move.
But this particular tiger, it seems, was not content to be put on display.
As it was being delivered, it put its feet against one side of the all too flimsy wooden crate in which it was being transported, and its back feet against another side. Pushing with all its strength, it managed to burst out and make off down a busy London street.
Not willing to lose his quarry, Jamrach set off after the tiger.
In an extraordinarily incongruous street scene, he grabbed the tiger by the throat.
His account of the event, entitled My Struggle with a Tiger was published in the Boy's Own Paper - an illustrated magazine, which carried a mixture of factual and fictional stories - in February 1879.
Could you import a pet tiger today?
The import of a live tiger to the UK today would have to be approved by Animal Health, the government executive agency responsible for the animal welfare and disease control.
Richard Thomas from Traffic, the wildlife trade monitoring network explains that the tiger is on the most stringently controlled list of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites). It is also on Annex A of the EU Wildlife Trade regulations.
"As such, no commercial trade is permitted in wild animals," says Thomas, "so you would need proof it was a second generation captive-bred animal."
"If it was as a 'personal' import of a wild tiger - to be kept as a pet - then the country of export and the EU would have to issue what's called a non-detriment finding to demonstrate the trade was not detrimental to the species in question," says Thomas.
"Export and import permits would also be needed."
And even if you managed all of this, the importing authorities could still refuse the import.
In the UK, for example, you would also fall foul of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.
As Thomas puts it, "a dog is a much better option as a pet".
In it he describes what happened next:
"My men had been seized with the same panic as the bystanders, but now I discovered one lurking round a corner, so I shouted to him to come with a crowbar - he fetched one and hit the tiger three tremendous blows over the eyes.
"It was only now he released the boy. His jaws opened and his tongue protruded about seven inches. I thought the brute was dead or dying, and let go of him, but no sooner had I done so than he jumped up again.
"In the same moment I seized the crowbar myself and gave him, with all the strength I had left, a blow over the head. He seemed to be quite cowed, and turning tail, went back towards the stables, which fortunately were open.
"I drove him into the yard and, and closed the doors at once. Looking round for my tiger, I found that he had sneaked into a large empty den that stood open at the bottom of the yard.
"Two of my men who had jumped onto an elephant's box, now descended and pushed down the iron-barred siding of the door; and so my tiger was safe again under lock and key."
In spite of saving young Wade, Jamrach was sued for damages by the boy's father and had to pay £300 pounds - equivalent to more than £30,000 today.
But he had one other consolation - he sold the animal to Wombwell's menagerie for the the same amount where it was exhibited as "The Tiger that Swallowed the Boy".
In 1857, England was in the grip of a panic caused by the Indian Mutiny and so a tiger - the symbol of India - was an especially frightening thing, especially when it was loose in the heart of the Empire's capital.
One contemporary newspaper account linked the event explicitly to what was going on in India.
The event is also memorialised in a strange sculpture placed in the defunct shopping centre at Tobacco Dock.
Are we more humane than the Victorians?
The Victorian period actually witnessed a flowering of interest in animal welfare. Anna Sewell's 1877 novel Black Beauty reveals deep concern at the dire conditions many domestic animals endured.
But cruelty to wild animals remained a prominent part of Victorian culture. The expansion of the British Empire presented ample opportunities for big game hunting.
And the trade in commodities taken from slaughtered animals, especially ivory and whale oil, was also vital to imperial economics. In many ways, the Empire was built on animal bodies. So Victorian concern at animal suffering was at best uneven.
Today, the images of dying animals provided by big game hunters would result in public outcry. We think of ourselves as a nation of animal lovers.
Animal well-being, we like to think, is protected by robust legislation. But with millions of animals still killed each year for food, it's hard to be really enthusiastic about our pro-animal credentials, especially in the context of the significant danger posed to so many species by climate change and habitat loss. Perhaps in the end, all we can say is that cruelty has changed.
England was a clearing house for the animals of the world and they poured in by the thousand - both alive and dead.
The trade in these wild animals was unregulated - there was only the most rudimentary consciousness about the idea of endangered species.
The very first animal welfare laws had been passed by this time and, although there were concerns about the extent of the fur trade and the conditions suffered by animals undergoing live export for slaughter, there was not the systematic legislation there is today nor any international framework to protect wild animals.
Demand was high, and it persisted at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. One Indian based taxidermy company, Van Ingen & Van Ingen, stuffed roughly 43,000 tigers and leopards between 1900 and about 1950 to supply the European and Indian demand for trophies.
They moved from fair to fair with the travelling menageries, they underpinned new scientific research and they sat glumly in architect-designed cages in the grounds of the most fashionable country houses.
The capture, trade and display of exotic animals was one of the many ways in which the British Empire made its influence felt.

In the research facility, Law is confronted by the mysterious man, Velgo. Law then attempts to fight him, but is instantly knock back down and then is knock out by a steel bamboo stick. Outside, CC has KO Franky, Robin, Smoker & Tashigi without even touching any of them. The G-5 Marines wonder if it is Conqueror's Haki. At the lake, Brook & Zoro are arguing how to deal with the Slime, while Sanji in Nami's body saves the samurai's torso from being eaten by a shark and being poison to death, by escaping using Blue Walk. The reconstructed samurai introduces himself as Kinemon of Foxfire, and easily destroys the Slime around them with his Foxfire attack.
+ Velgo's design and his power
+ Someone bigger is behind CC
+ Brook & Zoro arguing
+ Kinemon Oda's box
+ Kinemon cutting the Slime and the explosion in half
- Smoker, Robin, Tashigi and Franky being taken down off panel
- The G-5 Marines not doing anything
- Nami's body able to KO a shark
- Wondering how CC know of Law have betray him
Huh, I wondering if Velgo eat an Alchemy Devil Fruit and also what is that thing on his face? It seems like CC make a Conqueror's Haki poison, but it probably not true

'Teen Mom' Star Maci Bookout Hopes to Appear on Dancing With the Stars
Teen Mom 2 star Maci Bookout is hoping to follow in the footsteps of reality stars Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Kate Gosselin by expressing interest to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.
US Weekly reported that Maci has vehemently expressed interest in competing on the show. Then again, who wouldn't want to get an invitation to compete on one of the world's biggest stages? The media frenzy surrounding Kate Gosselin's recent appearance as well as Sorrentino's has done nothing but enhance their celebrity status.
Maci, 19, has also expressed interest in publishing a book writing about teen pregnancy and parenting. The topic has gained extensive media attention due to the unexpected popularity of MTV shows just as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant.
The spotlight has not yet faded for Bookout and it looks as though she'll stay in it for time to come. While her main focus is on being a great mom for two year-old son Bentley, she won't be turning down further TV opportunities. A much anticipated new Teen Mom season will air July 5th at 10PM on MTV which will once again feature the original cast of Maci, Catelynn, Farrah and Amber.
Maci was one of the most popular cast members and don't expect her invitation request to be ignored. She would bring a strong younger viewership demographic that would surely be welcomed by DWTS.

Some days I feel like such the downtown Portland commuter. I get on the streetcar, mess around with my smart phone like all the other folks, and eventually hop off in the middle of downtown — in my case, at SW 10th and Alder. There, I am surrounded by food carts, and I live in anticipation of when both Tasty N Alder and the Brunch Box restaurants will open near that same corner. It's good to be a Portlander and know some of what's up in town.
This morning, though, it's about a quick Portland commuter breakfast for me: a sandwich, a cappuccino, and off I go. So I head over to SW Stark and Broadway, where superchef Vitaly Paley has two new places in the Hotel Lucia: the full-service Imperial and the quick-hit Portland Penny Diner.
First, as evidence that I needed coffee, I actually asked directions from the guy at the front of the hotel. In other words, I managed to miss this sign, which I will add also spins constantly.
This morning, though, it's about a quick Portland commuter breakfast for me: a sandwich, a cappuccino, and off I go.
which is like the retro, real Pop Tart. I had one at Imperial once, and it rocked. It was buttery and flaky, with a strawberry filling and just the right amount of icing and sprinkles on top. Extraordinary.
No, today I wanted protein, so it was a breakfast sandwich for me. The menu offered several options, and I was tempted by the Hipster (tomato, hazelnut romesco [pesto], egg, pepperjack cheese) but went instead with the simple Reuben Croissant, with house cured pastrami, gruyere and an (optional) egg. It came out on a little baking tray, wrapped in foil, next to a fine Caffe D'Arte cappuccino.
The first bite of that croissant was all about buttery yumminess. The second was about perfectly-cooked eggy fillingness. Then came the salty pastrami scene. It was a party, and just the right size.
Meanwhile, I looked around and saw this little tray of droppers, and was stumped.
Turns out they make their own bitters in house, which I wouldn't have recognized because I don't drink anymore, and even when I did I wasn't a cocktail guy. But it turns out that, in addition to their all day and late night menu, they also have a big selection of drinks, including cocktails, bracers, and warmers — as well as fountain drinks and sodas. I'll have to come back for an afternoon break, too.
With the perfect breakfast of a croissant and cappuccino down my gullet, I was ready to wade back into downtown Portland. Out the door I went, said thanks to the hotel doorman, and headed over to my office to do some writing.
Portland Penny Diner is at 410 SW Broadway, in the lobby of the Hotel Lucia. Its open 7 to 7 Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, and closed Sunday. You can follow them on Facebook or Twitter. You can also follow The Breakfast Guy's Twitter list of Portland Breakfast Places. And here's The Breakfast Guy on Facebook.

So, my education reporter had to excuse my question about her story on Monday night's school board meeting. I wasn't accusing her of digging up old stories to rerun, but the story was eerily familiar. "Didn't we run this about five years ago?"
No, she explained, but it is the same story, only this time with different players.
Back in Superintendent Eric Bartelson's tenure in Dist. 861, the school board asked for and received exactly what the newly inducted school board members are asking for, an accounting of empty space in the elementary schools into which programs from the Lincoln Building could be located. The sale of the Lincoln Building was seen then as a way for the district to cut expenses.
Now Lincoln is sold. The deal is done. It belongs to Winona State University, which is land-poor. From my point of view, their ownership of Lincoln for expansion is preferable to tearing down more neighborhoods.
The school district is still faced with the problem of where to put the denizens of Lincoln, although much has been accomplished. Child care has gone to Goodview and Madison; the district administration is at the high school. Neither of those moves came without expense, about which there was much carping in the community. The real bone of contention should be with government entities that continually mandate the larding of more and more expense not only onto private businesses, but government itself, such as the public schools, making any move monumentally more expensive than it should be.
Another perennial school board subject, a place to put the ALC, was supposedly put to rest with a vote in December. This is after a search that not only involved school district personnel, but community members and leaders including the mayors of Winona and Goodview, which came up empty either because the space didn't meet district criteria or the neighbors didn't want the kids around.
I welcome new ways of looking at things. But at Monday night's meeting, the board seemed to be reinventing the wheel. They have the reports on school district building space already. They have the reports of the ALC search committees.
If the new school board members have a proposition, let them make it, instead of spinning their wheels in the sands of time and costing the taxpayers more money doing what's already been done. Enough politics already. Lay out the plan, and let the community weigh in on it.

Another true story for you today.
I am looking for some more stories to make into comics so if you have a good one please send it to editors[at]linux[dot]com. I can't promise to make them all into comics, but I will see what I can do.
The story behind the comic, courtsey of Tykeal:
I was working for a decently well along startup and it was my turn on
pager duty when I got pulled out of sleep early one Saturday morning at
the start of a 3-day weekend by my pager. We're talking 02:30 early
here.The reason for my pager doing the tango off my night stand happened to
be one of our primary file servers for our website had just fallen off
the network. No ping, nothing from the remote console server. Seemed
dead as a door nail.Now at this point in time our infrastructure wasn't robust enough to
just let this lie around till the start of the work week, I needed to
find out what was really wrong as at this point 1/3 of all of our
picture data wasn't available to our customers.So here I am, the nearest to the colo (drat, can't pawn this off to
someone else) but the colo is 30 minutes away from (well that's
annoying) and I can't remote toggle the power to it as we don't have
remotable PDUs. Guess I'm heading into the colo.When I finally get there the server is still offline, I could hope that
it would come back all on its own but I'm not that lucky apparently. I
reverify that I've got no console, find it isn't taking the power button
command at the faceplate for a forced poweroff / poweron (yes it's
currently "running") and decide to yank the power cords and then plug it
back in.This is when I notice a rather faint and new smell along with a
flickering blue light coming out of one of the exhaust ports on the
system. Now, mind you this is before all those blue LEDs started showing
up on systems so I shouldn't be seeing any blue coming out of my
machine, especially not flickering blue or with the smell of burnt
electronics. So I hunker down close to the back of the system and peer
in and to my amazement I saw a little blue flame dancing around in my
server, to which I made the silly statement to nobody (since I was alone
there) "servers shouldn't have pilot lights!" and promptly pulled the
power plugs watching as my pilot light went out.Unfortunately the system in question wasn't under any kind of 4 hour
turn around warranty and we couldn't get any service on it till the next
business day (2 days away) but when we did what we found was that one of
our capacitors on the motherboard had died.

Vera Novak: Type 2 Diabetes Deteriorates Brain Function
Mild cognitive decline is a natural and inevitable part of growing older. Unfortunately for people with diabetes, the disease can accelerate this process. Diabetes can hamper blood circulation and weaken the small vessels in the brain, causing tissue damage and affecting mental functions needed for day-to-day tasks – including those essential to healthy diabetes management. This can prompt a vicious circle of reduced cognitive function and worsening blood-sugar control, and potentially lead to the development of serious conditions like dementia, Alzheimer's, or stroke.
Elderly people are high-risk to entering this cycle, as they are especially sensitive to the effects of high blood-sugar levels on the brain. While the impact of diabetes on brain function is complex and poorly understood, Vera Novak, MD, PhD, from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, has made novel clinical breakthroughs in this field of medicine through two ADA-supported research projects. She has established strong links between diabetes, inflammation, and blood flow within the brain. Furthermore, she has confirmed the correlation between the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes, brain atrophy and cognitive decline in aging adults.
In a recent study published in the November 2011 issue of Diabetes Care, Dr. Novak identified a critical mechanism and two key molecules in the brain that are triggered by long-term elevation of blood-sugar levels and insulin resistance. This induces an inflammatory response, and the brain soon loses its ability to circulate blood in areas responsible for important thought processes. "Once chronic inflammation sets in, blood vessels constrict, blood flow is reduced, and brain tissue is damaged," the researcher explained. "At the age of 65, the average person's brain shrinks about one percent a year, but in a patient with diabetes, brain volume can be lowered by as much as 15 percent."
Dr. Novak observed significant deterioration in regions vital to problem-solving, decision-making, and memory in her patients with type 2 diabetes. They were also more likely to be depressed than people without diabetes, and they exhibited greater motor function decline, walked slower, and had a higher risk of falls attributable to balance difficulties.
Dr. Novak's work may contribute to new strategies to prevent or treat functional and cognitive decline in people with diabetes. She advises doctors and their patients to take early steps to carefully control blood sugar and maintain blood vessel health, well before the signs of brain injury begin to surface.

Featuring Women's History at Your Business Might Increase Sales
This Exists... Because of A Lady
If there's anything that history geeks like, it's context. Like why people did things that went down in history and under what circumstances did they find themselves, and how it applies to the present day. And that's why one Boston-area PR agency, History Smiths, is trying to do for local businesses for Women's History Month. They say that the more women find out about their successful foremothers, the more they will be motivated to go further in their personal and professional lives. And as far as businesses go, incorporating women's history into their own promotions will attract more customers, male and female. We approve of this highly geeky approach to PR!

Forms Quick-Find: Wholesale Forms Retail Forms
Dennis RosenIn addition to serving as one of the three Commissioners of the New York State Liquor Authority, Chairman Rosen presides over all meetings of the Authority and is responsible for the administration of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The SLA has two core statutory functions: properly issuing licenses and permits in a timely fashion and ensuring compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Control law. The Chairman and the Commissioners of the SLA are responsible for creating policy, developing strategy, and directing initiatives that create a regulatory framework designed to accomplish these goals. Chairman Rosen previously served as an Assistant Attorney General with the New York State Office of the Attorney General for 27 years. He was initially assigned to the Attorney General's World Trade Center office, and, in 1983, transferred to the Buffalo office. His practice at the Attorney General's Office primarily involved bringing civil enforcement actions and criminal prosecutions in the areas of consumer and investment fraud. Many of his civil cases resulted in substantial restitution to large numbers of defrauded consumers. For example, in a case involving investments that were sold nationwide in a fraudulent payphone business, he recovered over $6 million for over 400 defrauded New Yorkers. His criminal cases included successful prosecutions of attorneys, stockbrokers, insurance agents, telemarketers and home improvement contractors. From September, 2005 to December, 2006, Chairman Rosen was the lead attorney in an historic statewide investigation by the Attorney General into widespread violations of New York State laws regulating the sale of wine and spirits. The investigation concluded with many of the liquor industry's largest wholesalers, manufacturers, and retailers agreeing to court orders which fined them a total of $4.6 million. The orders also ended various "pay-to-play" practices that created an uneven playing field which had placed the companies that followed the law at a competitive disadvantage. During his tenure in the Attorney General's Office, Chairman Rosen also organized and participated in innumerable outreach events and community forums dealing with a wide range of subjects, including consumer protection, investment fraud, tenants' rights, and civil rights. Chairman Rosen was awarded the Louis J. Lefkowitz Memorial award for outstanding performance at the OAG in 1997, 2002, and 2007. He has also received the U.S. Department of Justice's Certificate of Commendation for outstanding performance in the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee Program. Prior to joining the Attorney General's Office, Chairman Rosen spent 10 years with the New York City Legal Aid Society: serving in the Juvenile Rights and Criminal Defense Divisions. The Chairman is a graduate of Brooklyn College and Harvard Law School. He was admitted to the Bar in 1973. He and his wife have been married for 34 years, and have two children.

For Glenn O'Brien's complete slideshow roundup of baseball's most fearless on-field dressers, go here.
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."—Yogi Berra
Real style asserts itself under the most rigid circumstances. Even if you're in the army you can figure something out. The idea of uniforms is 'all the same,' but somehow the greats manage to express who they are.
I've been watching some baseball lately. I have to be careful. It's kind of a vice with me. Back in the late-'70s I probably watched 100 games a season. Now I have to pace myself, but I love the game, even though it's an hour too long. Part of what's great about it is tradition, and how things evolve but never really change. Some crazy sports writer had a column today about how umps should be replaced by lasers and computers. It'll never happen. An umpire, you can kill. A computer, forget about it!
But it's all in the details. For example it's very interesting on many levels how the players wear their pants. Today most wear them right down to the shoes, some with a real "break." Here's the contempo look, modeled by the totally contemporary Derek Jeter.

Robin's Fresh Take: Healthy Slow-Cooker Dinners
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, January 14, 2011I don't know what I would do without a slow-cooker this time of year. I can throw a bunch of ingredients into the pot in the morning (or even the night before) and dinner is ready 8 hours later. And, if I'm not ready, (if soccer runs late or homework takes too long) the meal stays warm and waits for us. Plus, when it's cold outside, there's no question an aromatic, one-pot feast warms your heart and soul. Here are my favorite healthy slow-cooker recipes.
Slow-Cooker Dinners Made Healthy
It's super-easy to make slow-cooker meals healthy — they require little fat, and the braising process that occurs over long-simmering keeps lean meats moist and vegetables tender and flavorful. So what should you put in your slow-cooker? Check out some of my favorites (and then send me YOURS!):
Savory Pot Roast With Vegetables
Sear a 2-pound beef bottom round roast in a little olive oil until browned on all sides. Fill the bottom of a slow-cooker with cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, baby carrots, sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped white onion. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, black pepper, dried oregano and dried thyme. Place the beef on top of the vegetables and pour over a 28-ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, until beef and vegetables are tender. To make gravy, whisk about 1/4 cup of flour into about 1/2 cup of the pan juices and then return the mixture to the rest of the pan juices; simmer on high heat until thickened.
Pork Loin With Apricots and Apple Cider
Place a sliced yellow onion and sliced turnip into the bottom of a slow-cooker. Place a 2-pound boneless pork loin roast on top of onion and turnip and season with salt and black pepper. Top pork with 2 cups dried apricots. Whisk together 1 cup of apple cider, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon ground cumin; pour mixture over pork. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 to 9 hours, or until pork is tender.
Mexican Chicken With Salsa, Black Beans and Corn (pictured)
Place a sliced yellow onion and green bell pepper in the bottom of slow-cooker. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) on top of onion and pepper. Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Combine 2 cups prepared salsa, 4-ounce can minced green chilies, 15-ounce can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup frozen white corn and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until chicken is cooked through. Serve with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese sprinkled over top.

Interview with August Trometer: Part 1:
To listen to the audio interview, click the play triangle above.
To download the .MP3, right click and choose "Save Link As…".
Note: My apologies for the horrible quality of the audio on my side of the conversation. Due to some problems, I had to use a low quality microphone which recorded poorly, and then had to tweak the sound level afterwards. This resulted in an audible hiss during my parts. I hope this doesn't distract from your enjoyment of the audio content. – Tom
In Part 1 of the interview, August recalls the launch of the App Store and working on Loan Shark, his first app submission. He also describes his observations on the App Stores pricing "paradox" and his experiments with the pricing of his own apps to increase sales.
We discuss August's history as a Mac software developer and how that led to his programming for the iPhone, which he felt was a logical step. August also explains his "mantra" for developing software, which involves making it easy to use for everyone, and relates his experiences with programs that are popular, yet have difficult to use interfaces.
Lastly, we discuss August's popular software for the Mac, and his reasons for not developing a version for the iPhone. We get some insight on what it is to deal with Apple when they are the "800 pound gorilla" in the room and discouraging others from infringing on their domain, plus the economic factors involved.
In Part 2, we discuss August's latest project, Yowza! and the unusual circumstances that brought him together with his business partners. He also describes how this project is much different from past iPhone projects.

You have rollerblading & parkour featured but no BMX flatland, street, and/or ramp riders? GTFO.
"That took my sport away at 31," she says. But Boyer never lost her love for the ocean. "I grew up on the water," she explains. In July 2009 while visiting Siesta Key, she saw some people stand-up paddleboarding. She and a friend rented some boards, and "that was history": As a self-described "competitive-sport-type chick," she was instantly hooked. By September 2010, she had landed her first sponsor.
These days, Boyer is tearing up the booming stand-up paddleboard scene in Florida and beyond: She now counts six sponsors and routinely performs well at paddleboard races in Florida and elsewhere across the country. In May, she finished sixth overall in the women's division at the Carolina Cup. In April, she took third overall women's at the Florida State Paddleboard Championships in Cocoa. Mobility hasn't completely returned to her left arm, but paddleboarding doesn't require the fine-motor skills needed for sailing. "It's been a blessing," she says. "It gave me my water sport back."
Mandy Miller, 50, Fort Lauderdale
Ultra-Running and Ironman Triathlon
Things could have ended very badly in 2009, when Mandy Miller competed in the Marathon des Sables. It was her first go at a multiday ultramarathon in which racers are required to carry food and supplies for the duration of the race. The course consisted of 156 grueling miles through the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco. The six-day event went from hard as hell to goddamn near impossible when the region was hit with rains that Miller describes as "biblical flood" proportions, washing away course markers and resulting in a fourth-day stage that called for upward of 60 miles in one stretch.
With the course not "particularly well-marked," Miller found herself lost in the middle of the night with no water. In an attempt to get her bearings, she and some fellow racers scaled a sand dune. "What was sitting at the top? A donkey, but no person. It was very surreal," she laughs.
Like most near misses, the unnerving episode became humorous after crisis was averted. "That was kind of an adventure," says the lawyer, who also holds a PhD in psychology. She'll compete this September in the Grand to Grand Ultra, in which participants hoof it 160 miles between the Grand Canyon and Utah's Grand Staircase.
Miller was an athlete in high school but struggled with weight gain in the early '80s. She tackled the issue with diet and exercise (running, in particular) and soon developed a passion for long-distance athletic endeavors. Drawn to the "extreme endurance" aspect of her sport, Miller has competed in marathons for 27 years and frequently participates in Ironman Triathlons. "It's overwhelming, the size of something [like this], but I'm very much the Everyman," she says. "If you find a way to break it down, it's a process, like anything else."
Removed from ESPN's X-Games in 2005, rollerblading is the redheaded stepchild of the roller sports world. "There's nobody in it that's not really into it," Rob Squire says. "No one is carrying around skates as a fashion statement."
The rollerblading community is a tight-knit crew, giving Squire an international network of instant friends and couches to surf whenever he's struck with the urge to travel for skating, as he recently was for the Panhandle Pow-Wow contest in Jacksonville.
As one of the "older skaters" in the region, Squire is something of a champion of the cause. He's constantly exploring for new places to skate, and he hosts blading competitions at spots such as "505" Teen Center and Hobbit Skate Park in Delray Beach. He hopes to soon organize an event that brings together skateboarders and rollerbladers to bridge that gap between the two. As with any sport requiring gravity-defying slides, grinds, and jumps, it's all about the individual looking past the very real danger of injury and "conquering your big fear," he says.

How many of you actually recall your first hockey memory?
Obviously, this question is asked because we're a week into the shortened, post-lockout NHL season.
Although I don't actually have any memory of my first hockey experience, there is photographic evidence of it. I was young, maybe two or three, and the game was on the TV in my parents' Brentwood Avenue home.
I stood beside the TV, with a hockey stick in hand and what I can only assume is a bleach bottle on my head. The bottom was cut out and eyeholes carved into the plastic - an impromptu goalie mask.
One hopes my mom cleaned out all the bleach before Dad converted it into a mask that would make Jason Voorhees proud.
Like a lot of Canadian boys, I was part of a hockey league by age five or six. We were called the Kamloops Diggers. We won our division that year, so I retired undefeated. My claim to fame is a shutout during a stint as goalie.
Do you see a trend here?
Dad and I used to go to WHL games a lot. The Blazers didn't exist back then, but the Kamloops Oilers did. Games were played at the Memorial Arena. We all called it The Barn.
To tell the truth, those are some of my fondest memories growing up. I spent time with my dad, stayed up late on school nights, and watched some really good hockey. My Uncle Warren and cousin Andrew frequently joined us, making the games a family affair.
We had so much fun that I didn't mind when that old lady dumped her hot chocolate down the back of my jersey, though I never forgot it.
As I grew up and the Oilers became the Blazers and the team moved from the Memorial to the fancy, new Interior Savings Centre, my love affair with hockey waned. Life became busier, I moved away and travelled, and careers were established. In my case, four or five of them.
I didn't watch as much hockey on TV, either.
Then I found renewed interest during my days in journalism school when I would join Mark Hunter (now a Daily News sports reporter) and our classmates to play outdoor hockey at Henry Grube Education Centre. Guess what we did after those Saturday sessions? If your answer is watched Hockey Night in Canada, you're correct.
Which brings me to the point of this column. Hockey is back, following a lengthy lockout that annoyed some and alienated many. The question now is who's watching and who isn't?
I missed this season's first Canucks game because I was at the Mayor's Gala for the Arts last Saturday (good times, by the way), but I did manage to catch some action on Sunday.
There are people who won't watch because of the lockout. They have opted to support the Blazers and WHL instead, saying these are players who are young and hungry.
I agree. But I won't fault those fans who have tuned into the NHL since its return. Most fans I have spoken with don't care about the players, the owners or the league; they didn't miss them, they missed the sport. And, if they want to cheer on their favourite NHL team, they should be allowed to. If they want to watch a junior league, good on them too.
For a casual fan, like me, I'm going to watch hockey - be it the Canucks, the Storm or the Blazers. I never watched the sport because I idolized the players. I watched because it was something fun to do with my family and friends. I get a little nostalgic for that every time I tune into a game on TV or on those rare occasions when I get to see one in person.
My hope is I can pass that experience on to my son when he's old enough to understand what all those guys with knives on their feet are doing.

she also has features on her site for us moms such as one of my faves "simply said", which i had the pleasure of joining in on a few months ago (you can read my list of must make baby items here), "project 52: date night", "back to basics", friday's 5 at 5" and "learn from a pro" to name a few. this sweet, fun loving mom of 2 gorgeous little girls is one talented and busy momma whose site is sure to have something for everyone. so go pop by and say hi, and get simplified!
now let's hear from tiffany.........
Hello! It's Tiffany from Simply Modern Mom helping to celebrate luvinthemommyhood's Babyhood Bonanza. For a while there, people loved making pillowcase dresses where they took a pillowcase, sewed a casing and strung ribbon through it to tie huge bows at the shoulders.
I thought that was simple enough, but never made any for my girls. Only because I didn't want them to look like they were actually wearing a pillowcase with ribbon ties. I decided I would bring pillowcase dresses to a new level. I designed them to look like actual dresses.
While rummaging through a local thrift store, I purchase a couple pillowcases for $1 or 50 cents each. The first pillowcase dress I made was the Retro Ruffle Pillowcase Dress.And today, I am here to introduce you to the newest design of a pillowcase dress. This one is the Pleated Bow Pillowcase Dress. Every part of the dress came from the pillowcase. And since it is the size of a pillowcase or smaller, I would only suggest making pillowcase dresses for babies 18-months or younger.
I hope you will hop over to Simply Modern Mom to see photo tutorials of how to make the Retro Ruffle Pillowcase Dress and this new Pleated Bow Pillowcase Dress. They are fun dresses to make for cheap, especially if you can find cool pillowcases at thrift stores.
The back of the dress, I did a ribbon-button closure. I couldn't resist using a wooden button from Moda.
The bow was made from the pillowcase, but attached to the dress by a pin.
Thanks for having me on Babyhood Bonanza!
Tiffany {Simply Modern Mom}
thanks so much for joining in on the bonanza tiffany, i can't wait to make this dress! i love your site and thank you for sharing all your wisdom with us moms!
don't forget to enter the giveaway from "sweet pea patterns" for 2 shoe patterns of your choice. you have until sunday, july 18th at midnight (pacific standard time) to enter! you don't want to miss out on this one!

This looks like a great treat for anyone into animation. If you want to see where it all began, then check out The Disney 50 at the BFI, showing all 50 Disney films ever made.
While most of us may not have been there for the first ever classic 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' back in 1937, it's interesting to see the progression of animation over the last 74 years and just how far it has come. The basics and foundations are still there, but we've gone from animating on twos, to ones and the result of motion blur and GI style lighting techniques have just made the feature animation smoother and cleaner.
This is a bit of a treat for the whole family, and seeing these classics on the big screen like the IMAX, just brings home the experience that much more. The BFI has some interesting on-stage events with Disney artists and directors of past and present worth checking out as well. Check out The Disney 50 at BFI Southbank for info or film times here.

There are many little-known facts about Hungarian EMS that providers in America—and perhaps around the world—don't know. As its history shows, EMS in Hungary has been ahead of the game in many ways over the years, according to the director of the Hungarian EMS Agency, Istvan Martai, MD. So it comes as no surprise that the nation is also embracing another cutting-edge approach to the field: motorcycle EMS.
In addition to debuting the world's first motorized ambulance in its capital, Budapest, in 1902, Hungary was also the first country to have electric-powered ambulances, which it rolled out the same year, says Martai. By 1909, the country had rigs capable of transporting patients with doctor's supervision, multi-casualty units that used multiple medical staff, and a call center where citizens could call for a medically staffed ambulance. Hungary was also the first country to have organized recuscitation protocols for out-of-hospital resuscitation.
Motorcycle EMS
Hungary was the first country to have physicians specialized in emergency medicine and anaesthesiology/intensive care as well as specialized pediatric training, says Patric Lausch, of the Hungarian EMS agency. So it makes sense they would embrace their two-wheeled motorized relatives. According to Lausch, only seven departments in the U.S. have motorcycle divisions. Of those only one, Travis County EMS in Austin, Texas—have designated full-time divisions. Motorcycles are also used full time in Guadalajara, Mexico, and in various locations in Canada, including British Colombia, Quebec, and Toronto on a seasonal basis.
The advantages of having EMS on motorcycles are many, according to Lausch. Motorcycles can quickly maneuver through city traffic and traverse hilly areas common to European cities and towns. They're also able to reach rural areas, where traditional ambulances may have difficulty. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they also draw a number of young, particularly male, aspiring providers into EMS.
Lausch refers to these capabilities as their "real and virtual speed," meaning they can get through traffic a lot quicker even if they're dispatched at the same time as an ambulance. "You don't have to wait for anyone; everything is set to go. Even at the same speed, a motorcycle will get there faster," he says.
Although they're significantly smaller than ambulances, motorcycle units are equipped with everything a traditional rig carries in terms of supplies and drugs specifically designed for motorcycles—minus stretchers and backboards, Lausch says. They are also capable of performing highly invasive procedures, such as central catheters, internal pacing, and they have 42 medications. Four critically ill patients and 10 minor injury patients can be treated with one set of supplies, according to Lausch.
Motorcycles can be valuable in terms of communication as well. For example, a motorcycle unit that arrives first on scene can alert an ambulance en route for transport what to expect. If two rigs are on their way, and it's determined that one isn't needed, the motorcycle provider can alert the ambulance, so it can be used elsewhere. Motorcycles can also provide information about the patients on scene (e.g., if they have specific needs the ambulance crew can prepare for in advance.)
Another benefit of motorcycle EMS? It's exciting. "It's a challenging environment. It's fun. Basically, you go into work to do what you'd be doing in your free time anyway," says Lausch. Strict training standards also keep riders sharp because of bi-yearly or even monthly check-ups each provider is required to complete.
Sharing Two-Wheeled Experiences
Because of Hungary's passion for and success from its experience with motorcycle EMS units, Lausch sought to create a forum where providers from all around the world could learn and share their experiences. So, with help from his colleagues, he organized the first annual Fire & EMS Motorcycle Response Unit convention, which was held in Pécs, Hungary, in June 2009. Thirty providers representing eight EMS and two fire agencies attended, and they're all fighting to come back, says Lausch.
The purpose of the conference was to bring together the world's fire and EMS providers who use motorcycles as emergency response units (MRUs). One goal was to share information and experiences among other units regarding ways to better the safety and quality of care given by motorcycle units, says Lausch. In addition, organizers formed the International Fire & EMS Motorcycle Response Unit Association (IMRUA), a professional organization that aims to facilitate communication between motorcycle EMS units.
Although this event drew a small crowd, Lausch says at least 200 have expressed interest in attending this year's event, which will be held in Izola, Slovenia, Sept. 15–18. Lausch looks forward to the collaboration that will take place. "We all have similar problems and similar successes, but everyone has a different way of dealing with them. We never realized there were so many of us around."

Katie Farley, Equipment Circulation Manager of AV Services, will be continuing her research at Yale University in the Bio Physics, Bio Chemistry, and Structural Biology program later this year.
Farley, a senior who will be graduating with Honors from Westminster's Biochemistry program, has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society for her research regarding the self-assembly of small molecules in water. She performed her research; titled "Efficient Self-assembly in Water of Long Noncovalent Polymers by Nucleobase Analogs," while completing her internship at the Center for Chemical Evolution.
"The research I conducted leads to knowledge about the basic properties of self-assembly and the hydrophobic effect," said Farley. "Studying the assembly mechanisms of molecules at its most basic level leads to a greater understanding of life in general and could lead to determining how life began on the prebiotic Earth."
Farley conducted this research with a team of other scientists. The Principal Investigator of the lab is Dr. Nicholas Hud of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
"Working with these researchers was an amazing experience," said Farley. "These scientists are some of the best in their field and I got to collaborate with them to learn more about life began."
Farley is excited about attending Yale this fall as a graduate student in the Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology track of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program. Once she chooses a professor that she wants to work one-on-one with, she will move into a specific path. After taking classes for two years, she will be working exclusively with research. Her career goal is to combine research and teaching to inspire others to make important discoveries regarding biochemistry and medical issues.
For more information regarding Katie Farley's research, contact Audio Visual Services by email at email@example.com or by phone at (724) 946-7188.

Ranbaxy (RBXY IN) core business continued to be a let-down even though higher than expected sales from exclusivities in the US led to higher revenue and PAT growth. Adjusting to exclusivity, core business was flat versus 12% estimated growth. Core operating margin at 9.2% was lower than their estimate of 13%. Adj. core PAT at Rs1.24bn was also lower than the Rs2.1bn estimated. Though the management has hinted at FTF launch of Actos and Diovan in CY12, Edelweiss sees limited upside from these. Owing to valuations ahead of fundamentals, maintain 'REDUCE'.
Lipitor sales surprise positively
Driven by higher than estimated sales from FTF products in the US (USD170mn vs estimated USD60mn) RBXY's sales and PAT surprised positively. This also led to 54% and 107% growth in revenue and PAT (vs their estimate of 38% and 91%) respectively.
Base business: Muted performance continues
Base business growth was flat as against the estimated 12% due to the underperformance in multiple geographies (East EU and CIS -5%, Africa -10%, Romania -30% and LATAM -41%). While domestic formulation business showed some recovery (9% growth), it was still below the industry growth. Though base operating margins improved by 360bps YoY to 9.2% (down 380bps QoQ), it also fell below Edelweiss' estimate of 13%. Base PAT at ~Rs1.24bn was another mark to fall below their estimate.
Actos, Diovan launch to provide limited upside
The management is confident of monetizing Actos and Diovan (USD350mn; sole exclusivity) FTF opportunity in the US in CY12. Though monetization of these will keep momentum in the US business, Edelweiss, however, sees limited upside from these products.
Outlook: Upsides capped by valuations; Maintain 'REDUCE'
Edelweiss highlights that a recovery in the base business will be key for the stock performance. Though they have seen some improvement in the base business, Edelweiss still believes that a greater recovery will be back ended given the increase in fixed.

The Martinez-Lagrimas Family TreeUpdated July 30, 2003 | |
This family tree project began just a few years ago, an attempt to archive information that could be lost, especially with the deaths of my grandparents, their siblings, and my mother. I had filled in quite a bit of my family history, only to lose it when my computer suffered irreperable technical damage. I hope that by placing this on the net, I can hear from more relatives and fill in more information. My family originated in the Philippines and quite a few of the Lagrimas and Mapa families immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1920's. They began in places like Hawaii and Seattle, WA. Those on the West Coast made their way down to San Jose, CA where my father, his brother and two sisters were born. The Martinez family (my great-grandfather was born in Santander, Spain and immigrated to the Philippines) began immigrating to America in the late 1960's. My mother and her sister were some of the first to arrive in Los Angeles in 1967, paving the way for siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles to come. |
