Are there alternatives to esophageal pH monitoring? Patient Comments: Esophageal Ph Monitoring - Patient experienceFind a local Gastroenterologist in your town What is esophageal pH monitoring? Esophageal pH (pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution) monitoring is a procedure for measuring the reflux (regurgitation or backwash) of acid from the stomach into the esophagus that occurs in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).When is esophageal pH monitoring used? Esophageal pH monitoring is used to diagnose GERD, to determine the effectiveness of medications that are given to prevent acid reflux, and to determine if episodes of acidic reflux are causing episodes of chest pain. Monitoring esophageal pH also can be used to determine if acid is reaching the pharynx (lower throat) and is possibly responsible for such symptoms as cough, hoarseness, and sore throat.How is esophageal pH monitoring performed? Reader Stories Read 1 Story Share Your Story Esophageal pH monitoring is performed by passing a thin plastic catheter a sixteenth of an inch in diameter through one nostril, down the back of the throat, and into the esophagus as the patient swallows. The tip of the catheter contains a sensor that senses acid. The sensor is positioned in the esophagus so that it is just above the lower esophageal sphincter, a specialized area of esophageal muscle that lies at the junction of the esophagus and stomach and prevents acid from refluxing back up into the esophagus. In this position the sensor records each reflux of acid. The catheter protruding from the nose is connected to a recorder that registers each reflux of acid. The patient is sent home with the catheter and recorder in place and returns the next day to have them removed. During the 24 hours that the catheter is in place, the patient goes about his or her usual activities, for example, eating, sleeping, and working. Meals, periods of sleep, and symptoms are recorded by the patient in a diary and/or by pushing buttons on the recorder. After the catheter is removed, the recorder is attached to a computer so that the data it has gathered can be downloaded into the computer where it is analyzed and put into graphic form. The procedure can be modified by placing the sensor in the upper esophagus or pharynx to determine if refluxed acid is reaching the pharynx. The most recently-developed device for monitoring esophageal pH uses a capsule also known as the Bravo Capsule. The capsule contains an acid sensing probe, a battery, and a transmitter. The probe monitors the acid in the esophagus and transmits the information to a recorder that is worn by the patient on a belt. The capsule is introduced into the esophagus on a catheter through the nose or mouth and is attached to the lining of the esophagus with a clip. The catheter then is detached from the capsule and removed. Thus, there is no catheter protruding from the nose. The capsule transmits for two days or three days, and then the battery dies. Five to seven days later, the capsule falls off the esophageal lining and is passed in the stool as the capsule is not reusable. The advantages of the capsule device are related to the absence of a catheter connecting the probe to the recorder. There is greater comfort without a catheter in the back of the throat, and patients are more likely to go to work and do more of their normal activities without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of the catheter to others. The disadvantages of the capsule are that it cannot be used in the pharynx (where it would be impossibly uncomfortable) and, so far, it has not been used in the stomach.

Slow Start Dooms Women's Basketball Again in 57-44 Loss at Limestone
February 5, 2011
GAFFNEY, S.C. A fast start by Limestone College coupled with a slow one by Pfeiffer University led to a 57-44 victory for the Lady Saints in Conference Carolinas womens basketball action on Saturday night inside the Timken Center. Limestone put three scorers in double figures improving to 11-7 overall, 7-5 in league play. Pfeiffer, shooting 27% for the contest, fall to 8-11, 7-6.
The Lady Falcons managed just 18 points in the first half as a jumper by Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, NC) tied the contest early at two apiece. Limestone later used a 12-0 run to grab a 16-point, 23-7 lead with 10:36 remaining in the half. Down by 18 late in the period, Celeste Caudill (Sparta, NC) would knock down a three-pointer for a 15-point halftime deficit.
Pfeiffer outscored Limestone 26-24 in the second half despite the slow first half start. A brief 6-0 run by the Lady Falcons sliced the Lady Saints lead down to 13 on a pair of free throws by Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) and layups from Rhoney and Shelley Reese (Brown Summitt, NC). Another 10-1 spurt by Limestone helped seal the deal midway through the second half.
The Lady Saints were led offensively by Maria Young and Tia Williams 15 points. Kaileigh West chipped in with 11 while Stephanie Hayes pulled down 10 rebounds. No Lady Falcons reached double figures as Rhoney and Reese each had nine. Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA) recorded 14 boards in the loss.
Pfeiffer now takes Sunday off before heading to Mount Olive for another Conference Carolinas tilt starting at 5:30 p.m.

Gaz Metan Medias cruised into the last 16 of the EuroChallenge with a lop-sided 81-58 win over Tartu Rock in Group D.
After a tight start to the game, the hosts scored the final 10 points of the first half to make it 38-31 at the break, and that set the tone for a dominant performance in the second half.
Ivan Ivanovic scored 20 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to lead them into the next round, while Aleksandar Mladenovic added 18 points.
Tartu, needing a win to boost their own chances of progression, gave as good as they got in a first quarter that finished 18-18 and were beginning to edge clear in the second, leading 29-25 on a big three from Justin Ingram, and then 31-28 on his jump-shot with 3:28 left in the first half.
However, those were the last points they would score in the half.Slobodan Dundjerski hit the free throws that brought Medias level and then the jump-shot that gave them the lead, and two more free-throws from Adrian Gutoaia made it a seven-point lead at the break.
Back-to-back threes from Ivanovic stretched it to 13 as soon as the second half began, and Tartu were never within single figures again, with Medias scoring the final six points of the contest as they added an exclamation mark.
Dundjerski and Deven Mitchell each finished with 15 points for the victors.
Ingram led Tartu with 14 points while Ivan Nelybov had 11.

Tartu Rock player Silver Leppik
"We started pretty well but in the second part of the game we rushed things and they made easy shots. In the third quarter we decided to try to put the ball down, but unfortunately we missed a lot, especially three-points shots. We tried to come back in the game but it isn't our homecourt and it was very difficult. They didn't surprise us with anything, we knew that they can shoot."
Gaz Metan player Ivan Ivanovic
"We expected a hard game and that is how it actually was. We were ready to play hard defence. I think that was the key to our win tonight and also the fact that we succeded in rebounding more than in the away game. We made some important shots and that was good for our morale."
Tartu Rock coach Gert Kullamae
"We started the game really good, then we lost our rhythm because we missed too many easy shots. We played a bad game, especially on offence. Gaz Metan was much better tonight. Our shooters missed a lot and this was a serious problem. I want to congratulate Gaz Metan.''
Gaz Metan coach Marcel Tenter
"It was a very hard game, we were under pressure after the defeat in the Romanian Championship. A chance like this doesn't come often and when it comes we must take it. The victory and the qualification comes at a very important moment for us. This game was like a final for us. It's possible that a new team was born today."

If you do not fill out the Meeting Notice Form you will not be able to take advantage of the below benefits.
A Chapter Refund in the amount of $4.80 per member, per year is available to Chapters who qualify under the following criteria:
- The Chapter treasury is entitled to receive $0.40 per member in each membership quarter in which it conducts a membership meeting activity that is announced by an email notification sent to each Chapter member from the AAAA National Office.
Is the "Membership Meeting" Requirement Mandatory?
Yes. The AAAA National Executive Board does not believe that refunds accrue to Chapters automatically, and should only be provided to those Chapters as they participate in Association activities. Under this arrangement, a Chapter that does not meet in a particular membership quarter forfeits its Chapter refund to the National treasury for that quarter.
When are Chapter Refund Checks Distributed?
Chapter Refund checks are computed quarterly and are normally forwarded to the Chapter during the first ten days of the month after the membership quarter for which a Chapter claims a refund. They are not computed or forwarded at the time a Chapter conducts a membership meeting.
Should Chapter Refunds be Recorded?
Yes. The Chapter Treasurer is responsible for recording all Chapter monies received. There are no specific "accounting forms" provided by the National Office. The Treasurer may draft any "Receipts and Disbursements" ledger format that will serve this purpose. Shortly after each December 31, the Chapter will be asked to return a "Chapter Statement of Receipts and Disbursements" on an AAAA-provided form. This form, which is to be signed by both the Chapter President and Treasurer, is solely for National records since the AAAA is required to have these forms available for IRS inspection should they request a review of overall financial records.

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest senior C.J. Harris coveted a landscape-altering performance for the Demon Deacons.
He helped make it happen in stunning fashion.
Harris hit all five of his 3-point attempts as Wake Forest bashed No. 2 Miami 80-65 on Saturday afternoon at Joel Coliseum.
"It means a lot, just staying with it," Harris said. "It's a huge boost. Just getting everyone on the same page and positive about what's ahead for us."
Harris scored 23 points against Miami, which had its quest for an undefeated Atlantic Coast Conference season go by the wayside. The Hurricanes' 14-game winning streak is also history.
There was an historical footnote, though. An official from the ACC office said it's the first time there was a court-storming when Miami lost a road game since the Hurricanes joined the conference.
The crowd hoisted Harris on its shoulders in the triumphant moments after the buzzer sounded.
He deserved it, providing the early boost on 5-for-5 first-half 3-point shooting that helped the Demon Deacons (12-14 overall, 5-9 ACC) to a 19-point lead.
"That's what he does," teammate Travis McKie said. "He knocks down shots. As the leader of this team, that's what he's supposed to do."
Wake Forest scored more points than any Miami opponent this season.
"C.J. Harris was terrific in the first half and I think that gave his entire team a lot of confidence," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. "Every player in the first half for them was very sharp. Wake Forest was going to have a lot of energy. They had a whole week to prepare."
The Hurricanes (22-4, 13-1) suffered their first loss of 2013 in the only scheduled meeting between the teams this season.
Wake Forest was in a three-way, ninth-place tie to start the day with losses in six of seven games since an upset of then-No. 18 North Carolina State. Thanks to Harris, there were few signs of those struggles.
"He got us off to a great start," coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "He gave those young guys on our team a lot of confidence with his start."
Still, Miami closed within 46-41 early in the second half, aided by Durand Scott who scored all of his team-high 17 points after halftime.
But the Hurricanes, whose 10 road victories this season are by far the most among any major-conference team in the country, hadn't trailed by more than a dozen points in any previous ACC game this season.
"They're the No. 2 team in the country and they've come back," Bzdelik said. "Our guys never wavered. You could see it in their eyes."
Wake Forest's Codi Miller-McIntyre added 15 points.
NOTES: Wake Forest's 54.2-percent shooting from the field (26 of 48) was its best mark since hitting 63.4 percent in the season opener against Radford. … Wake Forest is 3-1 all-time against top-five teams other than Duke or North Carolina at Joel Coliseum. … Miami senior center Reggie Johnson scored four points in a return to his hometown. His previous game appearance here resulted in 25 points as a sophomore. … The start of the game was delayed a few minutes when some of the arena lighting failed to kick back on following pregame introductions.

I use these cranks on an all mountain sc nomad. It complements the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the nomad well.
Being able to power into a climb in the large ring and instantly shift under load to the granny is gold. It makes a heavier AM rig easier to climb with.
In rolling ledgy terrain being able to shift instantly between a power gear and a tech climbing gear allows you to barrel through tough trail sections must faster than those fighting chain suck and slow shifts which cannot be made under full load.

Apple Australia Chief to Meet With MP Over Pricing Disparities
Apple Australia managing director Tony King has agreed to speak with Australian Member of Parliament (MP) Ed Husic about technology prices that are significantly higher in Australia than the rest of the world.
Technology prices in general are much higher in Australia, even when accounting for exchange rates. The Australian Dollar is much stronger than it was two years ago, and now is trading higher than parity with the US Dollar. The new MacBook Air is 15% more expensive in Australia, and some software, like Adobe's CS5.5 Design Premium, is nearly 75% more expensive when accounting for currency exchange.
According to Australian newspaper The Age, King agreed in March to speak with Parliament by July 16. That date came and went without a meeting between the MP and Apple. Angered by this snub, Husic spoke strongly against Apple on the floor of Parliament:
Apple has gotten in touch with MP Husic and are reportedly trying to set up a meeting between him and Tony King. Husic said that if companies refuse to be transparent with their pricing, he would ask Australia's pricing watchdog, the ACCC, to "take up the case for long-suffering consumers and carry out a formal inquiry into why these prices differ so wildly."
However, Apple's Australian prices include a 10% Goods and Services tax. In the US, sales tax varies state-to-state and is calculated later in the process than Australia. As a result, the prices aren't as far apart, at least on hardware, as MP Husic claims. Additionally, exchange rates are constantly fluctuating and rapidly changing retail prices as currency rates change simply isn't feasible.
The problem is real, but it seems Husic may be singling out Apple because they are a big, successful company.

One thing to note is that the meeting was originally scheduled in March and Apple has dropped their prices just recently. In his speech there were no price disparities given for Apple in particular.

It's not just Apple products...... electronics in general are REALLY expensive in Australia. I had a friend not long ago buy a Samsung 24" HDTV and it was over $800 AUS. You could've gotten the same TV in the US for half that price. IF you're not a wealthy person, I don't see how you can afford those prices.

Is Parliament investigating why everything costs significantly more in Australia? It is not just imported goods. Food items made in Australia cost more to buy in Australia than food items made in the US cost in the US.
Real estate is absurdly expensive in most of Australia. The cost of living in Australia is higher then the cost of living in the US. They should also keep in mind that even digital goods cost more to bring to Australia. There is the tax, the cost of managing the tax funds and paying the tax, higher CDN rates, etc. VAT taxes add more then their 10% to the cost of product. Apple pays a minimum of 10% more to third party in their supply chain to bring items to the store. Every service they use have layers of Vat.
Apple's business model does not offer different pricing in retail and online, therefore, buying a MBP online is impacted by the massive cost living difference between the US and Australia.

1. This politician has the balls to talk about the subject. Where so so many others just hush hush it up.
2. Apple Australia's prices I think are quite fair. I know for the iPad1 Australia was the 2nd cheapest country to get it in after the US. Yes the fluctuating exchange rate plays a part here too.
3. This politician singled out Apple without discussing the IT industry as a whole and it's prices
So he had the balls to speak up. But he spoke up on a non-issue really.
|Aug 19, 2011, 03:26 PM
This is just more typical winging Australians. If you don't like the prices then don't buy the product. Apple has every right to charge whatever the market will bear. The problem isn't Apple but Australians willing to pay higher prices.
Australia is a small market with higher costs than the much larger and more efficient US market, and Apple has to offer a fixed price against a fluctuating exchange rate so not surprising things cost more in Aus. The alternatives: import from the US, buy something cheaper, or emigrate. You can't legislate lower prices.
|Aug 19, 2011, 03:36 PM
Goods are priced at what people are willing to pay. It's as simple as that. Don't get me wrong... if this were food, housing or something essential that would be different. But to protect the supposedly downtrodden from high ipod prices is ridiculous. Not to mention yet another government VAT does no good for the "common" folks it was supposedly designed to help.

I imagine that you're right in saying that legislation will not protect the consumer, and that Apple can probably dictate whatever price it chooses for a market such as Australia. You miss though the point of the politician's exercise, which is that this is an exercise in politics, not legislation. By making so public a point, Mr. Husic raises the issue of 'unfair' pricing, choosing a popular (and therefore high-profile) target to make his point. Does this single out Apple? Of course. Does it therefore generate more attention? Naturally.

There's no guarantee that China will keep on expanding. they have an inflation problem and a property bubble. Add to that the fact that other countries are winding up resource production which will lower the cost of resources in the coming years. finally, China is not yet a self-sustaining economy and requires healthy export markets. If Europe and the US turn into recession, which is more than 50% likely at this point, China will suffer too.
It was not that long ago that the AUD was 65 cents and given that a recession now may well be worse than the last one given that countries' fiscal position is weak and stimulus will not be forthcoming, I don't think it looks that great for the AUD. I sold a large AUD position not that long ago. OF course I could be wrong, but at least I've put my money where my mouth is.
Yeah, this is a political exercise. But the question is one of prices, and complaining about prices is pointless. Either buy or don't buy. Whinging is pointless and quite frankly embarrassing.
|Aug 19, 2011, 04:42 PM
We are not whinging people, but when some things are 75% more here, then you have a problem.

Oh hell NO.
Hi, I'm an Australian.
Yes, I do keep a koala bear as a pet and ride kangaroo to work -_-
Hardware prices in Australia are fair.
Software prices are not. For a digital download of, say, Final Cut Pro X:
True currency conversion (US to AUD): $ 288 AUD
Well, that's interesting, isn't it? And it isn't the only one, look for yourself.
Australians are not whiny people, and that MP is perfectly in his rights to be p*issed of, I would be.
That comment at the end of the article was plain b*itchy. Who do you think you are?

What does economics have to do with being a republican? Seriously, Australia has an issue with the cost of imported goods much like Brazil and other countries I know about. Often this is the result of political desires to protect local markets and to provide political fodder to use against big corporations. While this is politics, trade issues are created and supported on both sides of the political fence.

So what are the europeans doing?
Macbook Pro price in US = $1199
Macbook Pro price in EU = 1199 = $1,726.14 (According to xe.com just now)
pretax price for macbook pro in EU = $1,426.56
More than $200 difference....
I don't see why apple need to charge extra 200$ across the atlantic.
If I had extra $10000 lying about I would buy a ticket to new york.
Buy few macbook airs tax free.
and sell it at a modest price of $1500.
For few hours of work I can actually go to US for free :P
Governments should now accept major currencies for charging VAT.
|Aug 19, 2011, 06:26 PM
It is easy to look at international pricing in a simplified current exchange rate situation.
Currency moves quite quickly especially the Australian dollar, which is reported to be, one of the most traded currencies in the world.
As such trying to set a price on any one point in time is rather difficult.
Companies who import products into Australia will often use currency hedging. Now this adds cost. But Apple in the US would also probably use hedging for their products so its a wash.
This means that they can set a price at a specific time and hold that price for a number of months.
Not only do they get the benefit of a set price, the consumer also benefits by knowing that this is the price they will pay for the foreseeable future.
Those in Australia and other parts of the world appreciate the issues we have with petrol/gas pricing where the price varies daily.
Specifically Apple Australia tends to set its price when a new model is introduced. They prefer to keep this price the same over the time period until the next model is introduced. Now you may not agree with this strategy but it is a valid strategy, and who wants to buy when next week the price may go up or down. Also every other manufacturer does the same so to single out one in the middle of a product cycle is a little unfair.
Headline prices are not always the price that you pay. In Australia there are often 10% discounts offered on Mac products. Stores like Myer, Dick Smith and others do this often.
As well if you buy iTunes cards from local retailers, like target and Woolworths you will sometimes get discounts up to 33%.
Likewise in the US where we are comparing the prices to hardware can be discounted at greater than 10%. This tends to reflect the higher level of competition amongst retailers in the US.
We all know in Australia that retail competition is not as severe as in the US. But the purpose of this discussion we need to keep things simple by comparing local recommended prices rather than street prices.
Why? As we are comparing the strategies of the manufacturer versus strategies of the retailer. Retail strategies are affected by local cost structures as indicated above by other posters.
In Australia the rents and costs of retail are much higher than in the US, so to blame the manufacturer for this part of the costs is not real. So let us compare the costs of buying some Apple products in Australia from the Apple Store compared to the costs of buying the same product from the US Apple Store. Other manufacturers products like Samsung HP Cisco and more can be sourced cheaper in the US.
We also need to factor into the equation the local taxes being charged.
At the end I would also like to compare the costs of buying products via iTunes/App Store in the 2 countries.
As others have already indicated the Australian dollar has been fluctuating quite rapidly. A few weeks ago it dropped to less than parity from being 10% better value than the US dollar.
For the purpose of this argument I have taken the dollar at this point in time is being $1.04 to the US $1.
Mac mini US start price $599 plus tax (local and state)
Mac mini US start price $699 inc tax
In the US the tax rate varies according to where you buy. And yes this creates a little issue when comparing. Buy in Oregon, and there is no sales tax, buy in California and its around 9% plus.
You could say most Ozzies will visit California - as its the airline gateway, and the tourist preference for many.
But lets use the average for most of the US as being around 7%
This gives the price as being
599x7% = 641.
641/1.04 = 616
699-616 = 83
or 12% cheaper
And if we are being truly fair to Apple the Australian 10% tax vs 7% tax means they are "overcharging" by around 10%
I chose the Macmini base model as it's differential rate in % terms is greater, and also its a newer product and its under the $1000 limit for importing GST free.
Arguments like freight costs are hard to factor in. The products originate in China. But then I am sure Apple US gets a cheaper freight rate than Apple Oz, but have no idea what this impact is.
Now this also does not include the costs of currency acquisition. If using PayPal it's generally going to cost around 3 to 4% for currency conversion. Using my 28° MasterCard it's much less.
So the point being is 12% a rip-off of consumers. I guess that a personal view only an individual can consider.
In practical terms is this 12% saving obtainable should you wish to buy this overseas and shipped to Australia. Maybe if you are travelling to the US already it might be worth buying and saving 12%.
Personally I will be travelling to the US in the next few weeks and I have already rejected this idea on purely personal grounds. Why because I can purchase the Mac mini here GST free.
On the matter of iTunes purchases I have looked at buying iTunes cards in the US. The best discount I can find is around 10 to 15%. My latest purchase of iTunes cards here in Australia was $150 worth for $100 which is a significantly better discount. To me purchases from the iTunes Store are cheaper in Australia.
However buying books etc are far cheaper in the US. To blame Apple for this is incorrect. Local book publishers permit Apple to sell products based on a return that they dictate. The issue here was already decided by our federal government of which the MP discussed in the original post is part of, and local stores like Borders and Angus and Robertson been already affected.
I will still buy US iTunes cards purely to purchase books from the US store at a much cheaper rate, as well as Levi Jeans (50% plus saving)

Also the exchange rate should reflect the price. I can buy from a UK store and they reflect real time currency changes. Apples a bigger company just being slack.
And i wouldn't import from the US as the US imports from the same place we all do - CHINA!
Its actually cheaper to import the goods here then the US and less distance - so why does it cost more if we are all ordering and getting a delivery from the same place?
I'm sorry but cost of living in australia in general has become a joke and the technology industry need to lead a change in a stable economy instead of a dead one.

Australian's are being particularly cheated when it comes to song pricing:
The costs----------------------Album Pricing------------------Single Song Pricing
Australian iTunes Store:------US $23.92----------------------US $2.27 per song
USA iTunes Store:------------US $15.99----------------------US $1.29 per song
Amazon Music Store:---------US $12.99----------------------US $0.69 per song
For the same album in Australia you pay a mark up of almost 50%, for a single Australian's will pay an approximate 75% mark up. These figures are a lot greater than the 10% GST...

And SWE the prices are set by the record/book companies, the same ones that lobbied the govt to stop parallel importing of music/books. Not Apple. hence we pay more in the itunes store and at retail.
Point being the MP has to look at the Parliament to reduce the prices with itunes

Humans and other polar bears are the only predators of Ursus maritimus. Male polar bears may prey on cubs if they come into contact. Females with cubs tend to avoid other bears for this reason. Historically, polar bears have been hunted by the native peoples of the arctic for fur and meat. Commercial and sport hunting of polar bears increased in the 1900s as the price of pelts reached as much as $3000. (DeMaster and Stirling, 1981; Nowak, 1999)

Last week's column on Dave Hull and the free-form fun our disc jockeys had in the '60s and '70s reminded a lot of us how much radio has changed.. Yes, morning radio personalities – Mark and Kristin, Kevin & Bean, Ryan Seacrest,etc. – still entertain us, for example, but the structure is now predictable. You know exactly when the music or comedy stops and the commercials start.
Why is that? Blame it on the ratings. Back in the day, listeners kept written diaries logging their favorite shows. Imprecise perhaps, but it was an accepted measurement.
And then came the Portable People Meter or PPM. An electronic measurement developed by Arbitron "to measure how many people are listening (or at least exposed) to individual radio stations." But you may ask exactly how does it work, and did it impact – many say negatively - the spontaneity and fun of local personality radio?
Jeff McKay, a special correspondent for www.RadioInfo.com, wrote a lengthy multi-part essay on the PPM. A small portion of it here helps one understand how these PPMs determine what you hear on the radio:
"Ask any long-time disc jockey or veteran program director, and they will tell you that two big changes have come along in the past 10-15 years that have had a profound impact on the job of the disc jockey – and ownership rules isn't one of them.
"Radio has always been immediate. A DJ with a 'face for radio' could 'rip and read' a headline or give the listener a report, simply by taking two seconds to fade down a song. While a ratings diary could give you a broad sample of what a listener writes that they listen to, the PPM instead registers exactly – down to the minute and second – what a listener is actually hearing. No longer can you just tell that someone is listening between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. – now you know that they tuned out at 4:02 p.m. and went to another radio station to listen to a traffic report.
"The acknowledgment of the PPMs has completely changed the way a disc jockey approaches his or her show. Breaks are shorter, talk is measured in 'word economy,' and even the need to follow the time-aged rule of always giving the radio station call letters is no longer necessary – since the PPM can't hear the station's name – it can only measure its signal.
"Former KOST-FM Los Angeles program director Stella Prado tells RadioInfo, 'Keeping it short and sweet, with the ratings system that we use now called Portable People Meter, we have noticed that our disc jockeys have to make their breaks super-quick, get to the point, and get out. So our audience is there for the music.
"There was a time when the 'Top 40' format was ruled by legends such as Casey Kasem, or Wolfman Jack, and others who were known for both playing the hits and 'talking to you.' That, of course was in the age of ratings diaries. Now with PPMs, as Prado says, it is all about the music, commercials and the format.
"While the veteran programmer such as Prado adapts programming to work within the confines of the PPM, a disc jockey such as John 'Records' Landecker does too, but certainly not to the same degree. The evening DJ on Chicago's legendary heritage WLS-FM, Landecker can talk between songs for as long as 15-20 seconds at times, an eternity for some DJs depending on format and how the PPMs are used.
"While on oldies stations, personalities can come through and be the co-star with the music, on CHR, hot adult contemporary, dance, rhythmic, and others, the DJ is no longer the co-star, merely a bridge between songs.

Five boys swimmers to watch this season

Jackson's Conner McGinnis looks to the scoreboard after placing sixth in the Mens 50 freestyle during the 4A Boys' Swim and Diving Championships last season.
Archbishop Murphy's Alec Barnard swims to a first-place finish in the boys 100 butterfly during the 2A Boys' Swimming and Diving Championships last season.
Kamiak, Sr.
The senior has made considerable progress each year at Kamiak, according to Knights' head swimming coach Chris Erickson.
"He's taken off like a shooting star the last couple years," Erickson said. "You train harder, get bigger and get stronger. These kids grow until they're 24. They're going to get better every year."
Last year, Stupey led off Kamiak's state-title winning 400 freestyle relay. He finished second in the 100 butterfly, fourth in the 100 backstroke and also led off the fourth-place 200 medley relay. Stupey, along with fellow senior Liam Sosinsky, who won the 100 breaststroke with an all-American consideration time of 57.45 seconds and finished fourth in the 200 individual medley, helped lead Kamiak to a third-place finish at the 4A state tournament.
Erickson says that his two seniors are both talented, but got to this point in very different ways. Sosinsky has been ranked since he was about 10, according to Erickson, while Stupey has really come into his own since he joined the Kamiak team.
Both swimmers, Erickson said, are very versatile and "willing to do anything." They are the latest in a recent trend of strong swimmers at Kamiak High School.
"They're just carrying the torch," Erickson said. "And doing a good job of it."
AJ Jenkins,
Cascade, Sr.
Jenkins first year on the Cascade swim team was his sophomore year, when he went to state in the 500 freestyle. He apparently liked the whole state tournament experience because Bruins' coach Eric Smith said he worked incredibly hard to get back.
"He started training his butt off, and last year he really had a breakout year," Smith said. "He's the kind of kid that can swim almost anything."
Last season, Jenkins finished third in the 100 butterfly. He had the fastest time in the state preliminary round. Jenkins is the Cascade record holder for the 100 butterfly, taking that title from Shawn Nesheim, who now swims at the University of Minnesota.
One quality that makes him such a good swimmer, Smith says, is that he's fearless.
"AJ's the kind of guy, he will race anybody, anytime," Smith said. "He's not intimidated by anybody."
Jenkins, who also finished fifth in the 200 freestyle at the state tournament, plays in the marching band at Cascade and is also an Eagle Scout. Smith isn't sure how he has enough time in the day.
"He's a workhorse," Smith said. "I'll see him at morning practice at 5:30, then afternoon practice at 3:30, and then club practice after that. I'm not sure where he finds the time to do all of that, but he does."
Conner McGinnis,
Jackson, So.
On a team of close to 60 kids, McGinnis -- an underclassman -- has stepped up to help lead his team.
"As a freshman, he assumed a lot of leadership responsibility for the team," said Jackson head coach Drew Whorley.
During practice, McGinnis helps lead a lane of swimmers. He provides a great example to his teammates, not only with his skill, but his work ethic.
"Everybody recognizes that he's very talented," Whorley said. "Just the example that he sets by leading his lane. In practice he motivates. Other kids see what he does and try to imitate it. With him being that talented, and also so supportive of his teammates, it sort of motivates the whole group."
In his first state tournament McGinnis finished sixth in the 50 freestyle and seventh in the 100 backstroke, while leaving a strong impression on Whorley. The Timberwolves' coach would like to see McGinnis set a couple school records and continue to just compete.
"He's a great competitor," Whorley said. "He really likes to win. I'd expect to see him contend to win every event he swims in, both in dual meets and the postseason. He seems to perform well in situations where he has competition. He's going to find himself with opportunities at the end of the season."
Grant Reimers,
Lake Stevens, Sr.
As a junior, Reimers made it to the state tournament for the first time in the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke.
And Lake Stevens head coach Erin Miller doesn't think that will be Reimers' only trip to the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way.
"I foresee that happening again," Miller said. "He's going to have a great season."
Reimers, who swims year-round for the Marysville Marlins club team, is a captain for this years' Vikings team. He's looked to bring some leadership to Lake Stevens, as well as another task: team sweatshirts.
"He's in charge of putting team apparel together," Miller said.
Miller would like to see Reimers come on strong at the end of the season and have a good showing at the district tournament, where he could punch his ticket to his second consecutive state tournament.
With this being his senior year, Reimers is very motivated to go out on top.
"It would be great to see him place in the top three at districts again in the 200 individual medley," Miller said. "And get him back to the state meet. It's his senior year, and that's a big motivation for him."
Alec Barnard,
Archbishop Murphy, Sr.
Last season Barnard continued his run of three state tournaments with a very impressive showing. He set the state-meet record in the 100 butterfly with a time of 51.21. He's finished third, first and first in that event the last three years.
He also got second in the 200 freestyle, the first time in three years he wasn't the state champion in that event.
"He went faster than he's ever gone, but there was a guy that went a little bit quicker," said Wildcats' head coach Mike McCloskey.
Barnard was a part of Murphy's state-title winning 400 freestyle relay and the Wildcats' 200 freestyle relay that finished fourth.
"When he was a freshman they called him 'Phenom,'" McCloskey said. "He was so much faster than anyone else on the team. … He's definitely been an instigator when it comes to going fast."
Even after Barnard graduates this season there will still be a Barnard on the Archbishop Murphy team. His brother Austin Barnard, a sophomore, also went to the state tournament last year and was on both relay teams with his older brother.
The elder Barnard, who has committed to swim at Seattle University, came into the Murphy program in its second year of existence. McCloskey said that the Murphy team has doubled in size this season, as it looks to take down Sehome and improve on last year's second-place showing at the 2A state tournament.

Reasonable and moving commentary from Joe Scarborough
by Josh K - 12/17/12 9:32 AM
Joe Scarborough said on Monday that the massacre in Newtown had forced him to rethink his "long-held" belief about gun rights.
In a lengthy monologue, Scarborough talked about how shaken up he had been by the killing of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. He noted that his children's ages averaged that of some of the murdered victims.
"From this day forward, nothing can ever be the same again," he said. "... Let this be our true landmark ... politicians can no longer be allowed to defend the status quo."
That this is coming from someone with traditionally Republican and pro-gun views is encouraging. Maybe Newtown will be America's wake-up call. I hope so.

How will their team fare in a larger class that features bigger schools with a larger roster of more skilled players?
That's certainly a question coaches in the past have asked when their schools have made such jumps.
Yet some Dixon High coaches believe their programs will still be quite competitive in the East Central 2-A Conference and in the NCHSAA playoffs now that the Bulldogs have moved out of the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference.
The volleyball, boys' soccer and baseball teams have been strong over the years, and their coaches feel their programs can stay that way.
"I'm not too concerned," said Heather Moore, the third-year coach of the volleyball team, one of the area's stronger squads. "I'm looking forward to it because the schools we will be playing I think will be more evenly matched.
"We got Croatan, which usually has a pretty good program,
While in the CPC,
The same can be said about the boys' soccer team under coach Kevin Hicks. The Bulldogs made the state finals in 2003, 2006 and 2009, with the middle trip resulting in a championship.
"Our conference is so strong," he said. "And every team that's in it, except for
Given that, Hicks is confident that his club not only will compete in the conference but represent itself well in the postseason.
"The conference is so strong that it's a good preparation for playoff time if you are able to get there," he said.
Meanwhile, the baseball also looks to stay strong, despite the move. The Bulldogs have been one of the area's best teams on the diamond and want to stay that way.
"The conference will be deeper, but I think we will remain competitive," baseball assistant coach and team spokesman Nick Raynor said. "It is a tougher conference because there are a larger number of competitive teams in it, but we look forward to the challenge."
"Our cross country has had pretty good success here lately as this past season and the year before we sent several kids to the state championships and in track and field we've had several kids go to state championships," athletic director Brandon Ball said. "Softball made it to the playoffs for the first time in a while and women's soccer is always going deep in the playoffs. Our golf gets to the playoffs.
"Obviously football, basketball and baseball get the spotlight…, but our smaller sports are doing very well also. People look at us as a baseball school or a soccer or baseball school, but we are more than that. We are very success in a lot of sports."

MEBANE — With the Eastern Alamance Holiday Tournament representing the first game action since the
Thanks to a 63-46 victory Thursday night against
"A lot of revenge and anger and frustration coming out,"
The Patriots (10-1) advanced to tonight's championship game on the strength of Boggs' 26 points, which tied a career high for the senior. She scored 16 points in the second half and made 10 of 11 free throws.
Shaylen Burnett added a complete game with 15 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists for
Sarah Davis led Williams (7-3) with 14 points and Dajea Scott added 12 points.
But between the prolific outside shooting of Boggs, strong inside presence of Kelly and inside-out game of Burnett, Williams coach Tommy Cole was left to ponder a loss to
"We missed too many little layups. We missed our free throws. We couldn't make a layup early,"
For the rest of the game,
"It was a slow start and Williams had a lot to do with that," Miller said. "When we hit those shots and got that 10-point
Said Boggs: "It really sparked a run for us and we began to trust each other more and play together more as a team. We were able to make a good run and play well the rest of the game."
In the first two minutes of the second half, Williams rallied within 33-23. Boggs responded to the threat with a personal 7-0 run, during which two of her three baskets were assisted by Burnett.

"Oh definitely, definitely. I'm not done getting all that frustration and anger out of us yet," Boggs said. "We've got one more."

SEATTLE, Dec. 19, 2006 -- During many surgeries, doctors pump several units of donated blood into their patients. But what if the blood isn't available? The American Red Cross reports donations are not keeping up with increased demand. Now there's a push to use fewer transfusions, and technology is making it possible.
Ivanhoe Broadcast News, which produces a variety of health and medicine stories for hundreds of network TV stations across the county including KING 5 Television in Seattle, recently put together a story about bloodless surgery. Since Swedish has had a Bloodless Medicine Program for years, which is considered one of the best and most progressive of it's kind in the country, Ivanhoe decided to feature Swedish's program in the piece.

I first met Jacques Genin a number of years ago when he was (somewhat famously) working out of a battered storefront, on an uninteresting street deep in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
I say "famously" because as he became quite a bit better known, many folks learning about him through Mort Rosenblum's book, Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Light and Dark. And subsequently, people started gathering outside his workshop door with the one-way mirror, which allowed him to decide whether he wanted to open the door or not. I think I was too timid to give it a try on my first go-around and after pacing at the end of the block for a while, I ended up leaving.
If nothing else, longevity has its rewards and eventually I made it past that mirrored door and into his workshop. It was rather tight in there, to say the least. In order for someone to walk past you, you had to back up and get out of the way while someone held a tray of just-dipped chocolates high in the air, sidestepping someone else walking the other way with a tray of hot nougat.

Elwood Johnston, the oldest retired member of the Burlington Police Department, died Thursday. He was 88.
Johnston had been in declining health for several years, his wife, Vivian, said, suffering from congestive heart failure and other ailments. He died at White Oak Manor Convalescent Center, which is adjacent to Oak Creek Retirement Apartments where he and his wife moved eight years ago.
"He lived a long life and it's been a good life," Mrs. Johnston said. "He died peacefully."
Johnston retired as a lieutenant with the police department. His wife said she's heard from numerous individuals in recent days who remembered her husband for his quiet dignity and his manner of showing respect for all those he encountered.
"He didn't see a lot of enemies," Mrs. Johnston said. "He treated people the way he wanted to be treated."
Johnston was a World War II veteran, serving in the Navy as a Seabee. Mrs. Johnston said it was a problem at the end of the war in 1945 getting all the sailors and soldiers home. The man she was soon to marry was stationed on Okinawa and wasn't set to return home until early 1946.
But a typhoon blew through the island at the end of October 1945, stripping the sailors there of everything they owned. As a result, Johnston and his fellow Seabees got to come home earlier than scheduled. He returned to the United States the first of November 1945. He and Vivian married Nov. 14 of that year — Johnston's 21st birthday. Their marriage stretched 67 years.
The Johnstons had two daughters — Phyliss Coggins and Dianne Blanton — and a son, Steve.
Mrs. Johnston said her husband served with the police department from Oct. 6, 1948, to his retirement on April 30, 1984. He was a charter member of Northside Baptist Church, which is on Homewood Avenue, just down the street from the house the Johnstons built in 1950.
The couple lived there for 55 years – until they moved to Oak Creek in 2005. Johnston died on the eighth anniversary of his move to Oak Creek.
"When we moved here, he told me, 'This is home,' " Mrs. Johnston said. "He said he wasn't moving again until he went home to Pine Hill Cemetery."
That's where Johnston was buried Saturday.
Johnston's son, Steve, said he's spoken with numerous people since his father's death who told how much he meant to them.
"Several officers told me he was fair and easy to work with," Steve said. "He was kind of like me. He was the quiet one."
Steve recalled a time in the mid-'60s when he won a horse during a drawing at what was then an Alamance Indians baseball game at Fairchild Park. Steve couldn't remember for sure how he and his father got the horse home, though he thinks they walked it the mile or so.
In a dilemma experienced by few, they had to figure out what to do with the horse for a night or two until it was transported to a relative's farm. Mr. Johnston that first night tied the horse to the garage behind their house.
Steve said the horse "pulled the side of the garage off, basically." He laughed as he remembered his father on foot chasing the horse up nearby Vaughn Road.
Steve said his father had an interesting career. Among his memorabilia was a letter from Joan Crawford that the actress sent Mr. Johnston following a visit to Burlington in 1967. She was associated with Pepsi-Cola and visited for the opening of the new Pepsi plant in town.
Crawford stayed at Kirk's Motor Court on North Church Street and Johnston was assigned the job of making sure she was safe during her stay. Like most of the tasks Johnston took on, that one went off without a hitch.
Steve Lynch is a retired Burlington police captain. He said his first day on the job, in 1971, he answered to Johnston.
"I always called him 'Lieutenant,' " Lynch said.
The last time he did so, Lynch said, was when he visited Johnston at White Oak Manor a few weeks ago.
"That was one respected individual," Lynch said. "He was everything a police officer ought to be."
