Presidential preference
Jase Bolger endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [2]
Bolger ran unopposed in the Republican primary on August 7 in District 63. [3] The general election is on November 6.
Bolger is embroiled in controversy as a result of a press release from Kent County Prosecuting Attorney William Forsyth which revealed that Bolger and incumbent Roy Schmidt were involved in a plan to tilt the election in Schmidt's favor. Schmidt had defected to the Republican Party just before the primary, and made an arrangement with Bolger to pay 22 year-old Matt Mojzak to run as a Democrat in the election, but not actually conduct a real campaign. On this move, Forsyth claimed, "it is clear that the only logical reason for his [Mojak's] recruitment was to prevent the Democratic Party from mounting a viable write-in candidacy."[4]
Forsyth deemed that no laws were broken, stating, "Although this scheme by Rep. Schmidt and Speaker Bolger was clearly designed to undermine the election and to perpetrate a 'fraud' on the electorate, it was nonetheless legal...While Mr. Mojak ill-advisedly agreed to participate in this misadventure, it is clear that he was duped into doing so and is the least culpable of anyone involved in this fiasco."[5][6]
In defense of his actions, Bolger told mlive.com "I encouraged a Democrat to be recruited, but the bottom line is that I have always encouraged the law to be followed. This is political gamesmanship and we lost sight that we ought to be focused on the people and bringing them results."[6]
Bolger's opponent, Bill Farmer, has said of the incident, "Speaker Bolger knowingly attempted to deceive the voters by making shady deals behind the scenes with Roy Schmidt. This was a blatantly political move to benefit the Republican Party. This isn't how our democracy was meant to work."[6]
On July 18, Democrats in the legislature called on Bolger to step down from the position of Speaker. In calling for a resignation, Senator Gretchen Whitmer said, "Regardless of whether charges are ultimately filed, we know that one of Michigan's highest ranking leaders engaged in unethical and fraudulent behavior, putting personal politics above the good of Michigan... [Bolger and Schmidt] knew what they were doing. They knew it was wrong... And even now that it's become public, they still refuse to accept the consequences." [7][8]
Bolger won re-election to the District 63 Seat in 2010. He had no primary opposition. He defeated Dave Morgan (D) in the general election on November 2, 2010.

Tea Party Scorecard
The Independent Tea Party Patriots, a Michigan Tea Party group, grades the votes of this and every other Michigan legislator on "core tea party issues" in a regularly-updated scorecard. 100% is considered an ideal rating.[13]
January 2011 - March 2012
James Bolger received a 71% rating on the January 2011 - March 2012 Tea Party Scorecard.[13]
Recall efforts
In early May 2011, the Committee to Recall Rick Snyder took aim at Bolger in an attempt to recall him from office. It did not go to a vote.
On May 10, Autumn Smith submitted language to the Calhoun County Clerk citing Bolger's support for cutting school funding and legislation easing restrictions on voiding public employee contracts.[14]
The Election Commission rejected the petition on May 25, saying the language was unclear and relied too much on opinion.[15] Smith turned in six additional language submissions in June, one of which was to have been considered at a hearing on June 24. The day before it was to occur, Bolger's lawyers were granted a Temporary Restraining Order and Injunction against the election commission, effectively stopping the hearing.[16]
On August 30, Smith announced she was frustrated by the legal process and was ending her recall efforts against Bolger.[17] Just days later, Calhoun County Circuit Court Judge Conrad Sindt rejected Bolger's arguments, allowing the recall process to continue. Smith said she would continue to help if someone else leads the campaign, but that she no longer had the time or resources to lead it herself.[18]

Novelist Anthony Burgess once said, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone".
It's a saying that hits home for many. Chronic snoring is an embarrassing problem for sufferers and a source of aggravation for their loved ones. From loving and maybe not so loving nudges to ear plugs, the weary-eyed partners of snorers often finally move on to seek shelter from the nightly onslaught in a far away quiet room in the house.
(Single folks are not immune as any overnight trips with friends, business partners, potential mates becomes a source of anxiety and embarrassment.)
Snoring occurs because during sleep, the muscles that helps to keep the airway open relaxes and the resulting narrowing and turbulence can cause vibrations that lead to snoring.
After a more serious condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea has been sufficiently ruled out, try these steps to help with snoring:

PET-Directed Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Limited-stage Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma | Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
What is the purpose of this trial?
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan and CT scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. This phase II trial studies how well PET-directed chemotherapy works in treating patients with limited-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

PENDLETON, Ore. The victims in the charter bus crash that killed nine people and injured 39 others were from the U.S., Canada, South Korea and Japan, according to Oregon State Police Lieutenant Gregg Hastings.
Hastings said that included one passenger from Milwaukie, Ore., 64-year-old Michael Sohn. Other names would slowly be released as family members are notified. The passengers ranged in age from 7 to 74.
This tragedy extends definitely beyond the borders of our state ... it s touched many lives, Hastings said during Monday's press briefing. He called it a horrible, tragic crash.
The bus slid on ice and crashed down an embankment on Interstate 84 near Pendleton Sunday morning.
Everybody was either thrown from the bus or in the bus. We had several who were entrapped in the bus and we had to perform extraction to disentangle them to remove them, said Pendleton Fire Chief Gary Woodson.
A federal agency has sent two investigators to the site and it may take four weeks or longer to uncover all the details of what happened, Hastings said. On Monday, investigators were still trying to compile all the passenger information. Hastings said the names would be posted on the OSP website as they become available.
Twenty-two-year-old Berlyn Sanderson of Canada says windows on the bus broke as it careened down the embankment, and she and a number of others were thrown out. She said the bus began skidding on ice before it hit the guardrail.
The driver of the charter bus lost control on the icy westbound lanes of the interstate just after 10 a.m., Hastings said. The bus then crashed through a guardrail near milepost 227 and went down the embankment.
The bus traveled a couple hundred feet before coming to a rest, Hastings said. Crews trained for rope rescues were at the scene helping retrieve people from the wreckage.
Umatilla County emergency managers said the response from medics and rescue crews was overwhelming. Several victims had to be loaded onto stretchers and hauled up to waiting ambulances.
St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton confirmed 18 patients were brought in Sunday. Many of the patients were taken by air to other hospitals due to the severity of their injuries, Hastings said. Other patients were taken to Oregon Health and Science University and Legacy Emanuel in Portland.
The bus driver was among the survivors, but with severe injuries that made it impossible to communicate with investigators. The Associated Press reported the driver likely had a medical episode.
There were a total of 49 people on the bus. It was a charter from Mi Joo Tour & Travel of Vancouver, British Columbia and was en route to British Columbia from Las Vegas. Some of the passengers were exchange students from South Korea.
A phone line for family members was set up at 503-375-3555
The bus crash was the second fatal crash on I-84 in Northeast Oregon due to icy conditions on Sunday morning. A 69-year-old man died in a rollover crash at about 7:30 a.m. on I-84 near Stanfield.

MEBANE — Aaron Clay didn't venture outside unless he had to for part of his official recruiting trip to Ball State.
But it was far from a cool reception for the Eastern Alamance receiver. He warmed up to the idea of playing for the Muncie, Ind., school in a hurry.
By lunch Saturday, Ball State coach Pete Lembo, formerly of Elon University, offered Clay a scholarship.
"I wanted to cry, but I didn't want to cry in front of Coach (Lembo)," Clay said.
After conversations with his father, John Clay, who was along for the visit, he accepted the offer by dinner.
So with wind chills outside at 2-below, there was a warm feeling for the receiver who played in December in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. It helped make up for him missing his high school team's banquet during the weekend.
He's one of seven Ball State signees from North Carolina in a list released Wednesday.
"They've got an indoor facility," Aaron Clay said of Ball State.
Clay, a Times-News All-Region selection, had been in contact with Ball State offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky, formerly of the Elon staff. Then last week Lembo made a visit to Eastern Alamance.
"And that's the big dog," Clay said.
Because Lembo and his then-Elon staff had been in contact with Eastern Alamance coaches since recruiting Alexander Dawson to Elon and later Nick Miles to Ball State, Clay said he knew members of the coaching staff were aware of him.
At one point, Clay said he was told that he was behind a couple of Ball State recruits. Then he moved up on the list and was thinking to himself, "Let's let this thing happen," he said.
He had offers from Furman, North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central, but Ball State, which competes in the Mid-American Conference and played in a bowl in December, was at the highest level among his pursuers.
Clay, who plans to compete in track and field again this spring after opting to step aside from the basketball team earlier this season, said he hopes to add kick returner to his list of activities. He said his goal is to work into a role so he can be on the field as a freshman.
Another former Elon coach reeled in Eastern Alamance offensive lineman Ben Walters.
Walters signed with Division II Brevard, which is coached by Paul Hamilton.
Walters said he received the offer Sunday night. He said playing in the South Atlantic Conference should be a good fit for him.
Walters, a Times-News All-Region selection, said he was encouraged by Eastern Alamance coach John Kirby to consider playing in college.
"Coach Kirby talked to me earlier in the year and thought I'd have potential," he said.
Walters, a first baseman and pitcher for the Eagles baseball team, had visited Brevard for summer baseball tournaments. He made an unofficial football visit there once the recruiting picked up.
He also had football interest from Chowan and Bluefield.
Eastern Alamance safety Kameron Williams is headed to Division III Ferrum.
Williams said he received interest from a few Division II schools, but without football scholarship offers. He learned more about Ferrum from Jordan Mann, a neighbor and a freshman on Ferrum's men's basketball team.
And with Ferrum, there appears to be an opportunity.
"I felt I could play more going there," he said.
Williams was intent on continuing a football career, hoping to replace the memory of a one-point loss to Orange in the Class 3-A state playoffs in November.
"This is exciting knowing that Orange game isn't my last game," Williams said. "I wanted to keep going."

why did I wait so long to get one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this bike rack is so nice, it saves so much room from having my bikes laying on the ground, and wherever else i could store them. not only does it make your bikes look even better hanging from it, it keeps your bikes safe from falling over or falling onto the ground!
highly recommend getting one of these!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had it a month so far and this rack is great! I also bought the expansion kit ,so it now hold 4 bikes, 1 hard tail, 1 full suspension, Trials bike and dirt jumper. I got them all to fit with a little time and I like that it is a free standing rack that is not from ceiling to floor (when garage doors are open). It feels solid and i can move it anywhere, I'm sure it will be outside for a while this summer!! I could see me getting another for all our bikes.
Great use of space
Had four bikes taking up floor space. This product frees up more space and is easy to get around with bikes loaded...as well as very stable. For now it is holding bikes in shed...until I can sneak it past the wife into the living room.

I have 2 of these. My garage is clean, my bikes are safe, out of the way, and on display. Love your bikes. The optional basket is a plus.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We have a spare bedroom where we keep our exercise equipment and our bikes. Our bike (ok my bike) collection was growing and the room was getting crowded and the wife was unhappy. I combined this with the 2 bike extension and BAM, 4 bikes in the place of one. It also gives you a great place to put all of your stickers from all the races you do. My rack has two CX bikes, one 29er and one road bike and it is very sturdy. I am huge so my bikes are all XL's, or 61-63's and I can still fit them all on the rack. For normal sized people you won't have any issues. I highly recommend this rack and I hope I can talk my wife into a few more bikes so I can buy another one.

It's a bike rack. It was easy to put together and seems well constructed and sturdy. The adjustable holders make it easy to personalize to your height and bikes. A great solution for storing multiple bikes in small spaces.

Paratriathlete takes on grueling 135-mile ultramarathon

Janos Schmidt / USA Triathlon
Andre Kajlich of Edmonds competed in the 2012 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.
Herald File 2004
Andre Kajlich swims at the Harbor Athletic Club in 2004. Then, twice-weekly swimming sessions, helped Kajlich stay in shape. His legs were amputated after an accident in 2003
Herald File, 2004
In 2004, Andre Kajlich listens as John Fergason, the director of prosthetics-orthotics at the University of Washington Medical Center, demonstrates the type of movement, a shifting at the hip, that prosthetics might help Andre to achieve. Fergason said preparing the remnants of his legs to accept a prosthetic could be painful and challenging. "We'll go as far as Andre wants. He may decide he's never had enough," Fergason said. "My job is to not limit Andre."
Sarah Weiser / Herald file, 2011
Andre Kajlich bikes in Discovery Park in Seattle during a training workout in 2011.
Kajlich already had accomplished a tremendous amount in the world of endurance sports the past couple years -- earlier this week, USA Triathlon named him the 2012 Male Paratriathlon Athlete of the Year -- but in the early stages of the Brazil 135, one of the world's most grueling ultramarathons, Kajlich wondered if he had made a mistake.
After Kajlich, 33, became the first double-amputee to cover the rugged 135-mile course, doing so in 62.5 hours on a modified race wheelchair, he heard from competitors who admitted they had their doubts as they raced past him up the first of many steep climbs on the course. And it's not like Kajlich, who is from Edmonds and lives in Seattle, could blame anyone for doubting him.
"To be honest, if I knew what the course looked like, if I had actually stood at the bottom of one of the hills and someone had said, 'All right, you're going to be on this for three days, and 30 percent of the race will be on stuff this steep,' I don't know if I would have tried it," he said. "I probably wouldn't have. It was that hard. Completely ridiculous."
But after raising the money, putting in countless hours of training, then traveling this far, Kajlich wasn't going to give up before he really got going, so he suffered through the first day, then eventually came to appreciate the insanity of the sport, even if, early in the race, he was "appalled at the sport in general. I thought it was disgusting and stupid and wondered why anyone would put themselves through this."
"Then it just sort of transformed over the course of the event into this magical and beautiful experience," Kajlich said.
Completing the race in Brazil was just the latest in a long line of staggering athletic achievements piled up by Kajlich since he got into triathlons in 2010.
In December 2003, Kajlich, who was studying abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, somehow ended up being hit by a subway train -- the details of the night remain a mystery -- and while he survived the horrific accident, both of his legs were amputated, one at the hip and the other above the knee. Years would pass before Kajlich, a multisport athlete in high school, decided to pursue athletic endeavors.
But once Kajlich participated in his first triathlon in 2010, he was hooked. By 2011, he was one of the top triathletes in the world in the handcycle classification, and he's finished second and first in his division at the past two Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Thanks to that Ironman win, as well as his second-place finishes at the U.S. Paratriathlon Nationals and the International Triathlon Union World Championships, Kajlich is ranked No. 1 in the world by the ITU in his category, and among his long-range goals is the 2016 Paralympics in Brazil, which will be the first to feature Paratriathlon as a medal event.
And apparently when Ironman triathlons don't seem like an extreme enough challenge, you head to Brazil to conquer a course that no one had ever bothered to attempt on a wheelchair.
To get race director Mario Lacerda to sign off on having him in the race, Kajlich had to promise he wouldn't "do anything foolish" to put himself in danger. That meant, among other precautions, having friend Dave Grenley -- Kajlich had a five-person support team that helped him in the race -- stand behind Kajlich's chair as he went up hills that had slopes exceeding 40 percent grade, making sure he didn't tumble backward. (For comparison, the steepest paved street in all of Seattle, according to the city's transportation department, is 26 percent). During those early moments in the race when doubt crept in, Kajlich encountered one climb up terrain too rugged for his chair, so he went more than a kilometer uphill on his hands, stopping every 100 feet to pull his chair behind him, which was tied to a rope.
"All of their concerns and worries were well-founded," he said. "It was rutted out, really deep single track, and I had to get off for a good portion of the forest section. … That very first climb as we headed out of town, it was my first wake-up call that this is going to be a little bit different than I expected.
"This will break you at some point. It does things to you physically and mentally that an Ironman doesn't."
But as he has done with pretty much every challenge he has taken on in recent years, Kajlich prevailed, not only finishing the race, but enjoying himself enough that he is leaning toward returning next year. Or perhaps, he said, he'll try the Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 100-mile race on snow.
"He did it," fellow Brazil 135 competitor Jarom Lee Thurston told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. "Here we made history and I was a witness. Andre Kajlich just finished one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, a sport dominated by athletes who use both legs, and he has none. … It is a feat that I think is the biggest news of the decade in endurance sports."
Kajlich isn't done; far from it. His triathlon schedule is filling up for 2013, including the U.S. Paratriathlon nationals in Austin, Texas, in May, the ITU world championships in September in London, and defending his Ironman title in Kona in October. And if all of that isn't enough to satisfy Kajlich, he can always go back to ultramarathons, the latest adventure in a life full of impressive athletic accomplishments.
"The experience of Ironman and pushing the limits was so rewarding, really fulfilling, both personally, and also the people you meet, the places you go, so I wanted to try to take it to the next level."
It doesn't seem there are many levels left, but rest assured if there are, Kajlich will find -- and conquer -- them.

Spring Cleaning
April 1, 2009
Travel is a dirty business. Bugs, mud, road grime, tree pitch, bird droppings – the elements are out to get RVers wherever we turn. Especially since we live not only in our trailers, campers and motorhomes but, often as not, outside and around them. It's an ongoing battle to keep everything... Read more »

The Cheetahs scored two tries to steal a victory from a wet Kings Park.
The Cheetahs led for the entire game to take a 12 – 6 victory after leading 7 – 3 at half time.
A try in each half allowed the Cheetahs to continue in the rich vein of form they have been in, displacing the Sharks at the top of the South African conference. Raymond Rhule scored in the first half while Willie le Roux wrapped up the match late in the match.
It was a poor match for the fans as constant rain and a wet field underfoot made for terrible viewing, but the Cheetahs brought their game and walked away with a deserved four points. They dominated at scrum time after the Beast Tendai Mtawarira went off early in the first half. This brought on Jannie du Plessis and left the Sharks with two tightheads in the front row. Jannie took over the loosehead jersey, but eventually had to hand over to Wiehahn Herbst, who didn't exactly shine. It was in this set piece as well as in the loose that the Cheetahs had the Sharks under the cosh.
Heinrich Brussow was at his best, making life very difficult for the Sharks at the breakdown, as well as being a menace on defence, holding up many a Sharks attacker, turning the tackle into a maul and winning the possession. The Cheetahs made the best of their opportunities, scoring twice from opportunistic positions, but making those tries count.
The Sharks have very little to smile about, only three players stood out for the home side. Kyle Cooper continued to show that he is the best hooker at the Sharks, behind Bismarck du Plessis, while Pieter-Steph du Toit proved his versatility in starting the match at the side of the scrum. The surprise package for the Sharks was Riaan Viljoen who was secure at the back, even in the wet, and being the best of the backs by far. Keegan Daniel had a nightmare match, dropping every single ball that came his way. There are a few injury concerns ahead of the Sharks's tour, with Mtawarira going off with a calf injury and newly recruited Andries Coetzee going off wincing in pain with what looked like a dislocated shoulder or broken collar bone.
The Cheetahs pack played the perfect game required in such a wet match, with their tight five keeping the many scrums solid, while their loose forwards outplayed their counterparts in all aspects. Every collision saw the Cheetahs going forward, whether it be with ball in hand or on defence. Burton Francis controlled the game well with his kicking while Willie le Roux showed signs of being a great fullback, even whilst playing on the wing.
The Sharks now get on a plane to New Zealand while the Cheetahs travel back to Bloemfontein to host an interesting match against the Kings.

Were you looking for urine ketones? Urine ketone testing is more common than blood ketone testing and may be performed as part of a urinalysis.
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether excessive ketones are present in the blood, to detect diabetic ketoacidosis
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms associated with ketoacidosis
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of ketones in the blood. Ketones or ketone bodies are byproducts of fat metabolism. They are produced when glucose is not available to the body's cells as an energy source. When fatty acids are metabolized, ketones build up in the blood, causing first ketosis, and then progressing to ketoacidosis, a form of metabolic acidosis. This condition is most frequently seen with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes and can be a medical emergency.
There are three ketone bodies – acetoacetate, acetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate, a reduced form of acetoacetate. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is the predominant ketone present in severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Different ketone tests measure one or more ketone bodies, and their results are not interchangeable.
Blood testing gives a snapshot of the status of ketone accumulation at the time that the sample was collected. Urine ketone testing reflects recent rather than current blood ketones. Urine testing is much more common than blood ketones testing. It may be performed by itself, with a urine glucose test, or as part of a urinalysis. The urine methods measure either acetoacetate or acetoacetate and acetone but do not detect beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Blood ketones may be measured in a laboratory or with a handheld monitor. The laboratory test uses serum, the liquid portion of the blood, and typically measures acetoacetate. Beta-hydroxybutyrate can be ordered as a separate blood test.
When whole blood from a fingerstick is tested for ketones using a handheld monitor, the monitor measures beta-hydroxybutyrate. This test may be performed at a person's bedside in a hospital or emergency room, in a doctor's office, or performed by a person at home.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or by pricking a finger.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Hemorrhagic Stroke
- Home
- Health Information
- Hemorrhagic Stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a ruptured blood vessel. It may be:
- Intracerebral hemorrhage—bleeding in the brain
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage —bleeding in the tissue around the brain
- An ischemic stroke is caused by a blocked blood vessel.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Abnormality in blood vessel structure
- Arterio-venous (AV) malformation —an abnormal knot of blood vessels
- Aneurysm —a weakened spot in a blood vessel wall
- Other illness or medical conditions like hypertension
Risk Factors
- Sex: Men are more likely to have a stroke than women
- Age: Risk of stroke increases with age particularly after 55 years of age.
- Family history of stroke
- Having a vessel abnormality
- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Cocaine use
- Alcoholism
- Sudden weakness or numbness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion
- Sudden trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden dizziness , trouble walking, loss of balance, or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
- Loss of consciousness
- Neck stiffness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)—maps flow of blood
- CT angiogram (CTA)—creates detailed images of the blood vessels and their blood flow
- Conventional angiogram —a catheter is passed into the blood vessels in the brain to create detailed images of the blood vessels
- Doppler ultrasound —to check blood flow in the head and neck
- Decrease pressure in your brain
- Prevent seizures
- Lower blood pressure
- For a burst aneurysm—A clip may be placed just before the damaged vessel to stop bleeding.
- For a leaking or intact aneurysm—A special coil may be placed in the aneurysm. The coil will help a clot form in the aneurysm to prevent bleeding. A clip, as used in burst aneurysms, may be placed instead of a coil.
- For an abnormal tangle of blood vessels—Surgery may be done to repair the blood vessels. This may include removing the tangles or rerouting the blood around this tangle.
- Physical therapy—to regain as much movement as possible
- Occupational therapy—to assist in everyday tasks and self-care
- Speech therapy—to improve swallowing and speech challenges
- Psychological therapy —to improve mood and decrease depression
- Getting regular exercise
- Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- Limiting dietary salt and fat
- Quitting smoking
- Drinking alcohol only in moderation (1-2 drinks per day)
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Check blood pressure frequently. Follow your doctor's recommendations for keeping it in a safe range
- Stop the use of recreational drugs (such as cocaine)

As a Lehman summer associate many moons ago, I split my ten weeks primarily between two desks – High Grade Corporates and Equity Program Trading. The assignment coordinating gods smiled upon me as both groups were crown jewels at the bank, run by top shelf management with impeccable reputations and unmatched ability. As part of the program, I did get to sample a few of the different areas on the Floor as we plebes needed as many people as possible to go to bat for us to secure the ultimate prize of a full time offer for the following September.
One morning when I found myself on the Govie Desk, the Durable Goods numbers flashed across the Bloomberg of the trader I was sitting next to. The headline ripped consensus which instantly sat on the Treasury market. The economist for the firm who was unabashedly Continue reading »

Gwen Gibbs said it's the phone call you never want to get in the middle of the night — but she got it.
The Kinston mother was sound asleep when her daughter's call interrupted her slumber, spiraling Gibbs into unexpected terror: "Billy's been shot."
She left her Kinston home around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 25 for the Waffle House at 601 E. New Bern Road.
She didn't make it to her son in time.
William "Billy" Gibbs III, 26, was shot and killed by an off-duty Lenoir County Sherriff's Office deputy, Joseph Heck, after a fight broke out at the city's lone Waffle House restaurant. A LCSO press release stated Heck and Deputy William Shambeau commanded Gibbs to drop his weapon, a hand gun. When he allegedly did not comply, Heck drew his gun and shot.
Gwen Gibbs said that report was odd to her.
"I taught my children to follow directions," she said. "I feel like if you told my son to freeze, or if you told him to put his weapon down, he put his hands up in the air."
Gibbs was joined by William Gibbs Jr. — from whom she separated when their son was in seventh grade — and daughter Shamoni, 25, last week on her 55th birthday to offer their perspective in the family's first public speaking since Billy's November death.
"Today is my birthday," Gwen Gibbs said. "It's hard because he always made sure he was the first person to call or text me."
The family unanimously agreed that he was their "protector," a hard worker and a quiet man who stayed out of trouble.
"He worked hard, that was his thing," Gibbs said. "His lifetime ambition was to live in a small town. That was it. You can't find anyone who can say anything bad about my son."
Billy Gibbs, a 2004 Kinston High School graduate, attended N.C. State University to study engineering for three years. His family said he was hands-on and mathematically inclined. He was in academically gifted and various sports programs while attending school in Kinston.
His only previous brushes with the law had come on two misdemeanor convictions of drug possession in 2006 and 2009, for which he had received probation and community service, according to the N.C. Department of Correction website. He was also due in court for DWI charges before his death.
But the Gibbs' family remembers him for the good.
"We've actually sat and watched a whole first half of a football game (when) I'm at my house, he's at his house and we're on the phone hooting and hollering like we're in the same room," William Gibbs Jr. said. "Things like that you can't replace."
While more than three months have passed since Billy's death, the family is still uncertain about where the investigation stands — which has been turned over to the State Bureau of Investigation — and troubled by multiple conflicting reports.
The fateful night
When Gwen Gibbs learned her son was transported to Lenoir Memorial Hospital on that bitter night only days after Thanksgiving, she headed there to meet her daughter, who'd known about the shooting early on — she was with him less than an hour before he died.
"I was actually informed by accident," Shamoni Gibbs said.
Someone called Shamoni Gibbs' friend's phone, which she happened to answer: "Yo, you need to get back out here. They just shot Shamoni's brother."
She said she dropped the phone and ran to her car.
Shamoni and Billy were together at the Climax nightclub the evening of the shooting. When they were leaving, he told her he wasn't going to the Waffle House afterwards, but wound up there to deliver a cell phone his friend left in his car.
"I had just left him; we had all went out together," she said. "My mind was in a million places."
She said when she arrived on the scene, emergency services had not yet shown up. She wasn't able to get past authorities to help her brother; Shamoni Gibbs is as a nurse and wanted to help, even though she admitted nothing would have worked anyway.
"I know now, with my knowledge from school, that it was really nothing I could have done to save him," she said. "Internally, he was bleeding too bad. Every day, I have to deal with the fact that I stood there and was not allowed to even touch him or even try.
"It was upsetting me. I'm standing there watching my brother fight to breathe because no one's doing anything about it."
The Gibbses were brought into a condolence room at the hospital, and Shamoni knew it was bad news: "He didn't make it did he?"
The autopsy report by the N.C. Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Chapel Hill released to the public revealed that Billy was shot four times — in the chest, abdomen and upper thigh.
However, his parents said they viewed his lifeless body and witnessed otherwise.
"We stood there for 10 (to) 20 minutes and at first all we saw was four shots," William Gibbs Jr. said. "I started touching him, moving his arm around, examining his body. There was a fifth shot."
He demonstrated to a reporter by pointing to the lower shoulder blade area.
The Gibbs also said the position of the wounds were four aligned shots going down Billy's side, with the fifth on the lower shoulder blade area.
"If (Billy was) refusing, you would have mangled his arm," said Gibbs Jr., who works as a nightclub security guard. "You could have shot my son in the knee to knock him down … and gain control of the situation. Each shot was a kill shot.
"Those types of things I definitely want … to make known."
The law
N.C. General Statute 15A-401 outlines when law enforcement is justified to use deadly force upon another person, which includes when the officer feels it's "reasonably necessary" to defend him or herself or a third party from imminent use of a deadly force.
"A lot of them are really great (and) really kind, I won't take that from the police officers," Gwen Gibbs said, "but I do believe a lot of times they just overreact."
With the investigation ongoing, The Free Press cannot confirm if Deputy Joseph Heck explicitly claimed imminent danger, although Gibbs said she's seen reports that claim Heck, in fact, declared the clause, which protects him in the shooting death of Billy Gibbs.
Heck was contacted by The Free Press to comment on the case, but said Interim Sheriff Chris Hill advised him not to speak during the investigation.
"That's not to say that once it's over I wouldn't be willing to talk," Heck said over the phone Monday. "Out of respect for the investigation and everything that's going on, I would just rather hold off right now."
He said his silence was not meant as disrespect to the Gibbs family or the media.
Although he and William Shambeau were off-duty — working security — at the time of the Waffle House shooting, they are able to activate their duties any time in their home jurisdiction.
Heck and Shambeau were placed on administrative leave following the shooting death, but have since returned to their posts.
Hill — who will take over for W.E. Billy Smith as sheriff on April 1 — said the sheriff is who determines when deputies go on leave and return from leave with "no law to regulate that."
Still waiting
The case is currently being investigated by the SBI, so local authorities aren't talking, according to Gwen Gibbs.
"We know nothing," she said. "We keep calling, we keep asking questions."
She said she always asked Billy why he carried a gun and he'd respond it was his Second Amendment right.
"It's a very sedating type of feeling," William Gibbs Jr. said about his son's death. "It's gut-wrenching. There's a part of me that want to put the cameras on … but that's not my job. My job today is to remind everyone a positive flower has been plucked for a very, very non-understanding reason.
"I can't say that no plainer, no clearer or no softer."
When Billy had his gun drawn, he was allegedly firing at a third party — who was shooting at him, according to his family. However, no police report states Gibbs was being fired upon.
"The person who shot at Billy first — while Billy was being shot — was allowed to run around the parking lot and drive right off," William said. "That is very, very hard for us to digest."
The family said they believe that part of the investigation is being overlooked. His mother believes her son was a target.
"Young black males are being killed (and) consumed," she said. "It's the cemetery or prison. You can't question (law enforcement) because either you're going to be left lying on the ground like my child, or something else."
As the Gibbs family reflected on Billy's personality and hardworking habits, they said they've not yet had closure, and each day is rough. They said the public, including neighbors and Billy's former educators, have helped lift them as they wait for answers.
"(Billy) had a family, he believed in family and it reflected in his daily living," William said. "To the public, the family is begging somebody to tell the truth, the whole truth, on what happened."

Tuttle's Stellar Outing vs. Barton Earns Him League's Pitcher of the Week Honors
April 9, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Bryan Tuttle has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Baseball Pitcher of the Week during week nine of the 20122013 Baseball season. Tuttle (Lenoir, NC) tossed a complete game, three-hit shutout as the Falcons pick up a 1-0 win in game two of a weekend series at Barton.
Tuttle would face two batters over the minimum allowing just the three Bulldogs hits with a pair of strikeouts facing 23 hitters. Tuttle would need just 73 pitches in the contest recording his fifth complete game of the season. After giving up his first two hits, Tuttle would bounce back to get a double play ball to end a threat.
After completing the three-game weekend sweep at Barton, Tuttle and the Falcons will now look towards a non-conference meeting with Armstrong Atlantic on Tuesday before hosting King over the weekend.

If the idea of approaching the office printer fills you with foreboding, you'll appreciate Lexmark's effort to make colour laser printing as painless as possible with its powerful, blisteringly fast C522n.
Despite its high-end features and specifications the Lexmark is remarkably easy to use, thanks to an intuitive interface. It's also reasonable priced and quite economical to run, as long as you stick to the high-yield replacement toner cartridges.
The C552n can cope well with demanding users thanks to the 312MHz processor, 128MB of memory as standard, and impressive speed in mono and colour.
While we couldn't reach the quoted 20ppm (pages per minute), we did clock a rapid 17ppm in mono and 14.5ppm in colour on draft mode. We were particularly impressed by the fact that draft-mode quality was much better than a lot of the competition, and not that far off best mode.
We also tried printing a full-bleed A4 image on high quality. This slowed the first page to 40 seconds, but thereafter, pages came out in seven-second intervals: not bad at all. Text was crisp on all quality settings and the C522n knocked out draft text pages every four seconds. That's fast.
This model is the network version, but all in this range connect with USB 2.0. You'll have to buy a cable, though. Installation is simple and the printer will even prompt you if you haven't removed all the internal packaging.
Our only bone of contention regarded the input tray. If you set it to A4 the tray extends out at the back of the printer and looks vulnerable.

Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled into your cabin, and explore the facilities on your cruise ship. Your welcome dinner this evening will be a perfect opportunity to meet some of your fellow cruisemates.
Port charges are included in your itinerary.
Kahului is a census-designated place (CDP) on the island of Maui, in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Kahului is not generally considered a tourist destination itself, but does feature the Alexander and Baldwin Sugar Museum, Kanaha Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary, Kanaha Beach County Park, and the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. The port of Kahului admits cruise ship guests for excursions into the island of Maui.
Today your ship remains moored at Kahului until departure at 6:00 PM. Explore the island of Maui today from Kahului, an island rich in coral reefs, rainforest, volcanic peaks, beaches and waterfalls. There is much to discover here.
Hilo is a town on the Big Island of Hawaii. The county seat and largest city in Hawaii County, Hilo is the one of the best starting points to explore the eastern half of the island, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Most Downtown Hilo stores are located along the "Bayfront", or Kamehameha Avenue. Many of the activities that are available are strictly daytime, and focus on the ocean. Surf culture is big, and boards may be rented from Orchidland Surf, located in the Bayfront district.
Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, sunsets and coffee. It means "leeward" in Hawaiian. The northern portion of the Kona side of the Big Island is also known as the Kohala district. The weather and ocean conditions can be vastly different on each side of the island depending on the time of year and the predominant trade winds.
Kauai, the "Garden Isle," is home to several natural wonders, such as the Wailua River, Waimea Canyon, and the Na Pali Coast. Mount Waialeale is known as one of the rainiest spots in the world. Po`ipu, on the south side, is the major visitor destination for the island, with abundant sun and much resort development. Most of the major hotel/resort chains, such as Hyatt, Hilton, and Sheraton, have their main Kauai resorts in Po`ipu. Lihu`e, on the island's southeast side, is the civic and commercial center of the island, host to the island's main airport, county offices, and largest shopping mall (Kukui Grove Center). Kapa`a, on the east side, about a 20 minute drive north of Lihu`e, is the largest population center on the island. It anchors what is known as the Coconut Coast.
With your ship moored at Kauai until departure at 2:00 PM today, you have the morning to explore the area at leisure. One thing you'll likely notice is the thousands of wild chickens across the island, which were initially brought as food by the first Polynesian inhabitants.
This morning you'll arrive back at Honolulu where you will bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates, and disembark from your ship.
Situated steps from the Waikiki Beach, the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel (4*) offers luxury and comfort on the Island of Oahu.
