The title 'White Man Sleeps' comes from a moment in nyanga panpipe music where the performers leave off playing their loud pipes for a few cycles and dance only to the sound of their ankle rattles, to let the white landowner sleep – for a minute or two.
Quoting Volans:In composing this piece I drew from the following sources: the first movement owes something to the style of Basotho concertina music; the second and fourth movements are drawn from traditional Nyungwe music played by Makina Chirenje and his Nyanga panpipe group at Nsava, Tete, Mozambique, recorded and transcribed by Andrew Tracey (to be found in an article entitled 'The nyanga panpipe dance' in African Music, Vol.5, No.1 (1971)); the third movement derives from the San bow music (recorded by Tony Traill of the University of Witwatersrand) and from Basotho lesiba music, transcribed by myself; in the fifth movement I added my own invented folklore. My approach to the original music was anything but purist – it is played in Western tuning, filtered, slwoed down by a few "time-octaves", cast into non-African metres (like the 13-beat pattern of the first dance) and redistributed between the players in several ways. I also used interlocking techniques where they were absent in the original models and vice versa.
Duration 24 minutes. Parts available: CH61205

GMG Entertainment Launches Exclusive Digital Entertainment Cards From AdventureQuest, Cartoon Doll Emporium, Gala-Net, Stardoll, WeeWorld, WildTangent and Zwinky Into Toys 'R' Us Stores Nationwide
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ — GMG Entertainment, the number one publisher of digital currency cards for the digital gaming and online entertainment industries, has launched an exclusive line of prepaid currency cards at Toys "R" Us. GMG is launching versions from current partners, AdventureQuest (http://www.battleon.com/), Cartoon Doll Emporium (http://www.cartoondollemporium.com/), Gala-Net (http://www.gpotato.com/), Stardoll (http://www.stardoll.com/), WildTangent (http://www.wildtangent.com/) and Zwinky (http://www.zwinky.com/) as well as a digital card from new partner, WeeWorld (http://www.weeworld.com/). GMG's branded cards provide consumers with the virtual currency inside of "free to play" environments needed to "pay" for virtual goods, micro transactions, game tokens, and more. The announcement was made today by Rob Goldberg, Founder and CEO of GMG Entertainment.
"GMG is thrilled to bring these valued partners into another top tier retailer nationwide. With the addition of WeeWorld, GMG is now the largest publisher of digital gaming and entertainment cards in the marketplace today for major retailers," said Goldberg. "We look forward to connecting even more consumers with the virtual currency they need to pay for the online entertainment they love."
"Stardoll partnered with GMG a year ago to introduce our prepaid cards to select retailers across the country," said Stardoll Executive Vice President and General Manager, Matt Palmer. "Together we've helped establish a new and quickly growing category of prepaid cards for virtual goods. We're thrilled to expand on this relationship by debuting in Toys "R" Us just in time for the holidays and expect to build on the tremendous success we've enjoyed over the last year."
"We are very excited to bring Zwinky — one of the largest Teen virtual worlds with over 17 million members — to the nation's premier retail toy destination," said Christopher McManus, Director of Business Development for Zwinky, a division of IAC Consumer Applications and Portals. "It's a natural fit of audience and mission. Prepaid cards are a critical payment option for our members and we are delighted to be part of this launch effort."
"The 24 million WeeMees created worldwide are all unique, because users want to express their personalities in their online environments," said Ann Zitterkopf, President and COO, WeeWorld. "Premium virtual goods and branded gear are the most desired items on WeeWorld — from windblown, highlighted hair and trendy tops, to animated robots and Halloween masks. Our partnership with GMG furthers WeeWorld's reach by enabling WeeWorld fans nationwide to buy and use prepaid cards, rather than always needing a credit card or PayPal account."
During the third quarter GMG announced the launch of cards in Best Buy stores nationwide as well as a line of cards from Outspark in Target stores. WeeWorld joins GMG's existing partners, AdventureQuest, Cartoon Doll Emporium, Gala-Net, Stardoll, WildTangent and Zwinky, in the Toys "R" Us launch.
From massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) to casual games and social networking sites, GMG's content partners appeal to a wide-range of consumers. For example, online game publisher Gala-Net offers prepaid cards for its award-winning gPotato game portal, and cards are used to power-up gameplay with a wide range of upgrades, including premium items, special equipment and more. Another case is the SparkCash prepaid card from premier multiplayer gaming site, Outspark, which can be redeemed for exclusive and limited edition in-game items across their virtual playground. Leading interactive avatar site WeeWorld offers users a prepaid card that uniquely enhances their online experience with access to special games, exclusive styles, virtual pets and more.

Great Women of Islam is one of the series that turns the spotlight onto the outstanding women around the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This is a film about timely revelations and tiny revolutions, as we witness the momentous events that influenced the role of women in Islam and the women who were behind them. Here we meet two women who embodied the spirit of faith and courage during the Prophet's time: Nusaybah Bint Ka'ab (Umm Amarah) Al-Ansariyyah and Asma' Bint Abi Bakr As-Siddiq. Their stories are examples of the empowering quality of the message of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), as we witness their bravery in the face of the ruling Quraysh through their unwavering dedication to the young faith. Their stories serve to demonstrate that every person has a role to play in forming a good and just society, and that no effort is too small, no heart too weak (or old, or corrupt!), and no task too daunting. These inspiring women were honored and revered by the Prophet himself - a testament to the equality and importance of women in Islam, and they deserve to be remembered as role models, today and always..

ICE's CEO says has fielded calls about selling Euronext
MIAMI BEACH, Florida (Reuters) – IntercontinentalExchange Inc (ICE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) has received inquiries from rivals interested in buying NYSE Euronext's (NYX.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) European stock exchanges once ICE completes its planned purchase of the New York-based exchange operator, ICE's chief executive said on Monday.
Jeff Sprecher, whose $8.2 billion deal to buy the Big Board parent took markets by surprise in late 2012, said he is not considering any offers.
Cargill to shut Texas beef plant as cattle herd shrinks
CHICAGO, Jan 17 (Reuters) – U.S. agribusiness giant Cargill
Inc, and one of the nation's largest beef processors,
said on Thursday it will close its Plainview, Texas, beef plant
on Feb. 1 in reaction to the smallest U.S. cattle supply in more
than 60 years.
"The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1952.
Increased feed costs resulting from the prolonged drought,
combined with herd liquidations by cattle ranchers, are severely
and adversely contributing to the challenging business
conditions we face as an industry," John Keating, president of
Cargill Beef, said in a statement.
Cargill profit quadruples, led by grain sector
CHICAGO, Jan 9 (Reuters) – U.S. agribusiness giant Cargill
Inc reported a four-fold increase in quarterly
earnings on Wednesday, tapping its global command of cash
markets and food processing and posting strong profits from
trading operations after a poor performance a year ago.
The strong results came as the United States, the world's
top food producer and exporter, struggled with the consequences
of its worst drought in more than 50 years. Commodity prices
rose and fell sharply during the August-November quarter as
fears of crop losses gripped the markets.
U.S. Corn Belt crop experts: pray for snow
CHICAGO, Jan 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Corn Belt – the world's
top grain region – is seeing another dry winter after the worst
summer drought in half a century, reducing prospects for a
bumper summer harvest that would help ease global food prices,
crop and climate experts said.
"We are still concerned about getting the leftovers out of
the way from the drought of 2012. At this time we would not
anticipate a national corn yield above the trend," said Iowa
State University climatologist Elwynn Taylor, who has studied
crop production for decades. "Rather, we would expect a fourth
consecutive year of below-trend crop, not as far below as in
2012 but still not up to par."
Iowa farmland prices set record high in 2012, ignore drought
CHICAGO, Dec 11 (Reuters) – Red-hot demand for farmland in
the top U.S. corn-growing state of Iowa drove prices to record
highs in 2012, buoyed by demand from cash-rich farmers and
ignoring the worst U.S. drought in the last 50 years.
The average price of Iowa farmland was $8,296 an acre – an
all-time high – a 23.7 percent rise from a year ago, according
to the Iowa Land Value survey of 486 real-estate brokers and
other market participants compiled by Iowa State University.
That surpassed the previous record of $6,708 set in 2011. The
gains also mark the third year in a row where values rose more
than 15 percent.
Iowa State climate expert sees lower corn yields 2013
CHICAGO, Dec 5 (Reuters) – A top Iowa State University
agricultural scientist predicted on Wednesday that the United
States would see below-trend yields for a fourth straight year
in 2013 and spotlighted long-term climate risks for farmers in
the years ahead.
"It's looking likely that we will have a fourth year of
below-trend U.S. corn yields. But not as bad as in 2012, but
still below trend," Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University
climatologist, told Reuters Ag Forum, an on-line chatroom.
Biggest risk to farmers: high input costs, not land
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Soaring farm operating costs, not record high land values feared by economists of possibly causing a repeat of the 1980s farm crisis, pose the greatest risk to U.S. farmers, the head of the country's largest farm management company said on Tuesday.
CEO of Farmers National Company, Jim Farrell, told Reuters steep increases in cost of fertilizer, seed, fuel and machinery are the main concerns for farmers.
High speed traders jolt U.S. grain trade
CHICAGO, Nov 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. grain industry says
high speed computerized traders are disrupting their markets,
but grain exchanges and regulators have no quick fix for the
concerns, according to grain industry officials and traders.
The dispute, which pits grain companies at the Chicago Board
of Trade against speculators armed with algorithms and superfast
data feeds, echoes protests seen in world stock markets in
recent years as old-fashioned arm-waving traders have been
replaced by electronic matching of bids and offers on screens.
US farmland prices stay strong despite drought
CHICAGO, Nov 15 (Reuters) – Farmland prices in the United
States, the world's largest grain and food exporter, stayed
strong in the third quarter as cash-rich farmers and investors
ignored the worst drought in 50 years and pushed values to
record highs in many areas.
Quarterly surveys by Federal Reserve banks in the Midwest,
Plains and mid-South showed that grain farmers, though hit hard,
did much better than livestock and dairy operators in coping
with the drought, thanks to extensive crop insurance. Growers
continue to buy and rent more land, with record corn and soybean
prices seen staying as key drivers in 2013.
Plains farmland prices set record but gains slow
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Average farmland prices in the Plains states jumped as much as 25 percent in the third quarter, setting new highs as demand remained strong, the Kansas City Federal Reserve said on Thursday.
But the rate of gains slowed down from the torrid pace of the past two years, the Kansas City Fed's quarterly survey said.

BOISE -- Lawmakers and community leaders assembled today to lend their support to getting more Idaho kids in pre-school. They say a new bill would help Idaho students, help Idaho business, and help drive down crime.
The bill was introduced Monday morning, and Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney, CEO of the United Way of Treasure Valley Nora Carpenter, and Rep. Doug Hancey, R-Rexburg, all called it a no-brainer.
The bill's two main proponents, Rep. Hancey and Rep. Hy Kloc, D-Boise, were joined at the press conference by other Democratic lawmakers, a group of community leaders, and a few pre-schoolers.
Idaho's future will be brighter if we can come together and agree to prioritize pre-K through career, said Kloc.
The bill would create a pilot program for a state and private-funded pre-kingergarten program. We're not trying to overhaul the whole educational system. This is for a pilot program to collect data, said Kloc.
The pilot program would last three years, funding pre-K programs in five Idaho schools. Idaho is one of just nine states without a state-funded pre-kindergarten program.
Beth Oppenheimer is the Executive Director of the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children. We owe it to our youngest children to make sure that they have the opportunity to begin school, ready to learn, putting our children on a path to success in school and in life.
Supporters say pre-kindergarten programs help kids get a head start on their education, and more of them go on to higher education, which would give Idaho a better-educated and better prepared workforce.
We can give this strength of knowing that I can do this, I can go forward in my education to our children, it's worth every penny, said Hancey.
Raney says in areas with strong pre-K programs there are 20 percent fewer felony arrests. He says that would save taxpayers $30 to $50 million a year, easily off-setting the cost of the program if it's adopted statewide. We're investing early in education and compounding the savings of life success.
But, there has been criticism of pre-K before that Idahoans don't want the state raising their kids. Supporters like Jim Everett, CEO of the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, disagree with that criticism. It is a partnership with parents. It is not the state raising the kids. It's teachers working with parents.
Again, this is a pilot program, costing about $1.4 million. The main goal is to get Idaho-specific data on the benefits of pre-K education to make a better pitch for taking pre-K statewide. Every Democrat seems behind this. But the task is for Rep. Hancey to get enough of his fellow Republicans on board to get this passed. It's been tried before and failed.
Because it's a pilot program and because the cost is shared, I think we have a stronger idea to present forward to our legislators than perhaps in previous years, said Hancey. So we're excited. We hope we can do this, but we're not going to be defeated by one year.

DNA Analysis Hints At a Fourth Domain of Life 124
from the not-even-counting-the-hereafter dept.
It's the seeds of life left by the Great Old Ones.
We do not have a conclusive explanation for the origin of these sequences. They may be from novel viruses. They may be ancient paralogs of the marker genes. Or they may be from a new branch of cellular organisms in the tree of life, distinct from bacteria, archaea or eukaryotes. I think most likely they are from novel viruses. But we just don't know.
Sampling on the RV Weatherbird II was done as follows: Seawater (170 liters) from stations 11 and 13 was directly filtered through a 0.8m Supor membrane disc filter (Pall Life Sciences) followed in series by a 0.22m Supor membrane disc filter (Pall Life Sciences). The sample from station 3 was pumped into a 250 L carboy prior to being filtered through the impact filters. The length of time from collection of the sample until the end of the filtration step was approximately one hour. Filters were placed in 5ml of sucrose lysis buffer (20mM EDTA, 400mM NaCl, 0.75 M Sucrose, 50mM Tris-HCl, pH 9.0) and stored in liquid nitrogen on the Weatherbird then placed at -80C until DNA extractions were done.
Sample preparation. The impact filters were cut into quarters and placed in individual 50 ml conical tubes. TE buffer (5 ml, pH 8) containing 150 ug/ml lysozyme was added to each tube. The tubes were incubated at 37oC for 2 hours. SDS was added to 0.1% and the samples were then put through three freeze/thaw cycles. The lysate was then treated with Proteinase K (100 ug/mL) for one hour at 55oC followed by three aqueous phenol extractions and one extraction with phenol/chloroform. The supernatant was then precipitated with two volumes of 100% ethanol and the DNA pellet washed with 70% ethanol.
Which is all to say that a large amount of seawater was filtered through filters of appropriate pore size to catch microbes, the cells were broken open and the proteins were broken down, and the DNA was extracted with alcohol. The DNA extraction procedure is pretty standard for anything whose genes you'd like to sequence; more commonly, the sample would be made of cells from a single species or organism, like a human blood sample or a bacteria cell culture, but in this case, the sample is a mixture of all of the microbes in 175 liters of seawater.
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.

Rude to Return Out Service Ball to Server Especially When It's Obviously a Fault?

The two best choices are to catch it and pocket it or gently hit it to the net. I changed that from "into the net" to near the net. Letting it roll behind you to your fence can cause delays if the ball ricochets off a fence post or a curb on a poorly planned court. A well constructed court will have a depression at the back fence, maybe with a drainage system to hold the ball. When you let it roll behind you, on windy days it can come back at you and you could step on it. Letting it ricochet behind you makes your opponent responsible for watching out for you.
Frankly, there are some people who are so indifferent to stopping and controlling balls going behind them, I don't care anymore if they step on them and crack a femur. I've never heard a femur cracking but have heard from others that it makes quite a sound. The good news is the femur, the biggest bone in the body, will heal good as new in thirty days, barring complications.
I'll warn them a few times if they're in harms way but if they don't care about there welfare why should I. I know several players who are very nonchalant about this, acting like they are real tough guys, not caring about the loose ball caroming off the angled concrete wall behind them. I no longer care if they injure themselves--if they don't care about their bones, ligaments and tendons, why should I have to constantly be warning them.
Some players are so skilled they can consistently hit the ball into their opponents corner or back to them at a pace where it can be easily caught without delaying the rhythm of the servers swing--most here can't. Hitting it to the net so it rests there a few inches from the net is a skill that can be learned if you want to just like learning how to type.
Probably the best option is catching it and pocketing the ball because on really windy days, if you hit it to the net you'll be spending a lot of your energy chasing it around so it doesn't roll onto the adjoining court disturbing that match.
If you hit it back to your opponent, you stand the chance that they will do a fake fumble and you will be obligated to offer them two--why give them that opportunity? Everything has a reason, it's not only good tennis etiquette.
When you're warming up serves with your opponent, you do stop and catch his serves with your racket until you have all three and not slug each one back, don't you?-- (except to signal that you are ready after hitting two minutes of warm-up) serves).
"...the human emotional system was not designed to endure the mental rigors of a tennis match." Dr. Allen Fox

This does all I wanted it to do and much more. Thanks!
(58 stars)
Just opened it to add a fillup and all my data is gone. I backed up weekly and that is gone also. A year and a half of data just GONE. Why?
(58 stars)
Don't want to be required to put in gas prices. I know some people do, but not me. Be nice if that was an option customers could choose / not choose.

But certainly not the worst. I'm not fond of the UI, and it bugs out on my Galaxy S2 on occasion, but it is alright.
(58 stars)
Updated my Galaxy S3 software version and had to reinstall this app.. Had over a years worth of Mileage data on 2 vehicles.. It would not restore from my SD Card Root File. Tried many ways to attempt to retrieve my data wit no luck. Very dissappointed! Anyone no a way to retrieve data on Samsung Galaxy S3 please let me know.

Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 33 votes )
To prepare for the September release of his sophomore album, Philanthropist, Twin Cities MC and DJBooth member Young Son has teamed up with Houston's DJ Kool Los B to drop an appetizer mixtape, entitled Forever Words. Leading off the disc is a freestyle over Little Brother-member Big Pooh's Sincerely Yours (from the group's critically-acclaimed album, The Minstrel Show), appropriately titled Proper Introduction. Over 9th Wonder's beat, Son once again discusses his issues with the modern hip-hop scene, claiming that today's rappers are "chicken like the dollar menu." In the end, the message is clear; it's time for a change in hip-hop. Listeners who agree, and would like some refreshing music, can download the Forever Words mixtape, available online-only May 30.

2011 BEST Pool Hall
Big City
What makes for a good pool hall? High-quality tables and first-rate equipment, of course; a decent-size crowd (is there anything more depressing than an empty pool hall?) without a massive wait for a table; and beer, lots of beer. On all counts, Big City scores. It's got 50 brews on tap and, more often than not, strikes that delicate balance between pleasantly populated and overly crammed.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Relax at our beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath log home located on Dallas lake, one of 5 connected lakes in the Indian chain of lakes. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises from the lake side deck. The lakes are great for skiing, fishing, swimming or sightseeing. Rent our pontoon or bring your own boat, we have an extra dock. At night, relax in our newly furnished home. Comfy leather furniture is great on warm summer nights. Our master bedroom features a king size bed and entertainment armoire, plenty of closet space and private bath. The other rooms have a queen bed, day bed with extra pullout twin mattress and a queen size sofa bed.
We stayed in the cabin over Thanksgiving week and simply adored the cabin. As my son said, "the cabin was delicious". Everything was spotless and it's directly on the water. We were able to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner in the well equipped kitchen with no trouble. Though the weather was cold with some snow, the views over the water were beautiful and we had some great sunrises. Beds were super comfy and the whole cabin was filled with homey touches. We hope to stay again.
We feel in love with this place. The home is VERY well appointed and VERY comfortable and warm. It has everything you could need and is fully stocked right down to the towels, linens and utensils. The location on the lake is perfect. There is a nice swimming area for the kids with a sandy shore and a swing in the shade for Mom and Dad. It's so peaceful and quiet in the mornings that you can hear the clopping of the horse drawn Amish carriages about a 1/2 mile away on the main road. We were greeted by families of ducks and multiple hummingbirds while enjoying coffee on the deck each morning. The lake provides great fishing just about anywhere and all the water sport activities you can dream up. Or you can choose to relax and enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings. Dave and his family made us feel very welcome and comfortable and provided a wealth of information about the area restaurants and activities. Our only regret is not having another week to stay. This is a great home with great owners that take very good care of you and make you feel like an old friend.
Beautiful lake home, beautifully decorated with so many amenities including bed linens and bath towels. Kitchen fully stocked, no need to pack so many of the normal things for a cabin vacation!! We spent the weekend with our kids and grandkids and had a blast! The kids loved playing in the shallow water and on the sandy beach! We all enjoyed cruising the lakes on the pontoon and hanging out on the sandbar. Dave & Mary were so helpful and very knowledgeable about the area and things to do / places to eat. We will be back again next year!!! Thanks Dave & Mary
We enjoyed ourselves tremendously during our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.
The cabin was very comfortable with plenty of room. All the appliances were in working order & everything was provided that we needed. The pontoon boat was as promised & we had no trouble operating it. Dave was very nice & accomadating. The property is a little remote but well worth the drive. We would stay again,
We have just returned to Tennessee after a week long stay in this cabin on Dallas Lake. My 4 year olds keep telling me how much they miss the cabin. Everything was CLEAN, quiet, comfortable and we felt so at home. THANKS! We will be back.
Besides the great lake fun, we are only 15 minutes from the famous Shipshewana Flea Market. Spend a day or two at the market or enjoy the many interesting shops in Shipshewana. We are also only 35 minutes from the Auburn-Cord-Duesenburg Museum. Or, enjoy a relaxing ride through Amish country, see them working in the fields, driving their buggy, or working in their beautiful flower gardens. You won't want to miss the Amish cooking at any of several local restaurants. Several very nice shopping malls are located within one hour's drive.

Over millions of years, terrestrial plants have competed for limited resources, defended themselves against herbivores, and resisted a myriad of environmental stresses. These struggles have helped generate more than a quarter million terrestrial plant species, each possessing a unique strategy for success. Yet, as Resource Strategies of Wild Plants demonstrates, the constraints on plant growth are universal enough that a few survival strategies hold true for all seed-producing plants. This book describes the five major strategies of growth for terrestrial plants, details how plants succeed when resources are scarce, delves into the history of research into plant strategies, and resets the foundational understanding of ecological processes.
Drawing from recent findings in plant-herbivore interactions, ecosystem ecology, and evolutionary ecology, Joseph Craine explains how plants attain available nutrients, withstand the immense stresses of drying soils, and flourish in the race for light. He shows that the competition for resources has shaped plant evolution in newly discovered ways, while the scarcity of such resources has affected how plants interact with herbivores, wind, fire, and frost. An understanding of the major resource strategies of wild plants remains central to learning about the ecology of plant communities, global changes in the biosphere, methods for species conservation, and the evolution of life on earth.

Former Soviet footballer Mykhailo Fomenko has been appointed coach of the Ukraine national team. Ukraine's football federation announced the appointment on Wednesday of Fomenko on a one-year contract with an option for another year. The 64-year-old Fomenko replaces Oleg Blokhin, who resigned in September after failing to lead the team out of the group stage at the European Championship earlier this year. Ukraine co-hosted Euro 2012 with Poland. A product of the Soviet football school, Fomenko was capped 24 times for the U.S.S.R. and was an integral part of the Dynamo Kiev team in the 1970's. Starting coaching in 1979, he guided Metalist Kharkiv among numerous other Ukrainian clubs. Ukraine had previously approached former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp and ex-England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to lead the national team without success.

As of July 15, every hospitalized patient admitted to Borgess Medical Center, Kalamazoo, Mich., automatically receives an order set that spells out how to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE), commonly referred to as blood clots.
"Our goal is 100 percent success," says Nic Oprescu, MD, a hospitalist at Borgess Medical Center.
Oprescu's goal is aggressive because VTEs are so common. More than 10 percent of hospitalized medical patients develop blood clots, which are most prevalent in patients with heart failure, stroke, or heart attacks.
The initiative is still young, but Borgess staff are hopeful that they will soon be able to report a major decrease in the number of patients with blood clots. A high percentage of medical patients admitted since July have received treatments aimed at preventing VTEs.
Borgess Medical Center-the flagship hospital of Borgess Health, which serves southwestern and south-central Michigan-is one of 17 hospitals across the state that are working together to identify, measure, and promote the use of best practices to reduce the risk of blood clots in patients through the Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium, sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM).
More than half of the approximately 1 million Americans who suffer from blood clots each year develop VTE in the hospital or within 30 days after discharge-and nearly 300,000 people die from VTEs. That is why patient safety advocates have a laser-like focus on the problem.
Treating blood clots also adds to the overall costs of care in the United States. For example, treating deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot in the deep leg or pelvic veins, costs $10,000, according to estimates from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, while treating another, more serious type of clot that lodges in the lung-pulmonary embolism-costs $20,000.
To prevent blood clots, the Borgess Medical Center's VTE Prophylaxis Committee, chaired by Oprescu, adopted an order set for use in all hospitalized patients.
The specific order set is comprised of two parts:
The order set is a refinement of a set previously developed by a multidisciplinary team at Borgess for use in specific patient populations. The VTE Prophylaxis Committee revitalized the order set with minor modifications and expanded its use to include all admitted patients.
The order set begins with a paper order form that is placed in every inpatient record for providers to complete at the time of admission. The provider uses the form to document the patient's risk, then checks a box that corresponds to the specific orders related to the level of risk. If prophylaxis is contraindicated, providers can document the reason by selecting from a list of possible exclusions and contraindications.
Nurses carry out the physician orders. For example, they ensure that mechanical devices to prevent blood clots are applied and documented as ordered. Nurses also independently perform an initial assessment for blood clot risk factors, as well as daily prevention checks.
Borgess and the other hospitals in the Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium are collaborating to identify and standardize best practices for the prevention of blood clots. "The whole idea is that we are collecting and sharing data so we can develop best practices throughout Michigan-not just for our hospital-to reach the best outcome," says Kathleen Hall, RN, BS, quality data analyst in the Quality Clinical Excellence department at Borgess.
Since January, Hall has been abstracting 200 charts each quarter to identify what VTE prevention strategy was used at Borgess or the reason why no VTE prevention was used. She sends the data to the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, which serves as the coordinating center for the initiative. The university is collecting and analyzing these data with the following goals in mind.
The data collection effort-800 cases from each of the 17 hospitals each year-provides enough data points for the coordinating center to assist participants in establishing and implementing quality improvement goals and best practices, says Tom Leyden, director of Value Partnerships, BCBSM.
"If a hospital wanted to do this for itself, it may not have the volume to be able to notice any discernible pattern of care," he says.
BCBSM provides $70,000 a year to each participating hospital to subsidize the expense of data abstraction. Hospitals are also eligible for pay-for-performance bonuses if they hit three benchmarks for VTE prevention.
Oprescu and his team meet quarterly with hospitalists and teams from other hospitals in the Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium to review data and discuss improvement strategies. While Borgess standardized its VTE prevention strategies by developing the order set, its protocols will be adjusted-if necessary-based on the consortium's consensus of what works best.
"It's fascinating to attend one of these meetings and see someone from the west side of the state saying to someone from the southeast side, 'This is what we did, and I can send you the documentation,'" says Leyden. "It's like watching neutrons and protons bounce off one another. It's very encouraging."

Sean Tipton, a spokesman for the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, said in a statement that the organization was "deeply disappointed" in the decision.
"This injunction blocks important research on how to unlock the enormous potential of human embryonic stem cells. It will be incredibly disruptive and once again drive the best scientific minds into work less likely to yield treatments for conditions from diabetes to spinal cord injury," he said.
Soon after taking office in 2009, Obama signed an order allowing federal funds to be used on embryonic stem cell lines created since 2001, though not for any additional lines, explained Dr. Robert Klitzman, director of the Master's Bioethics Program at Columbia University Medical Center, who has written extensively on the ethics of stem cell research.
On Monday, Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth, of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, issued a temporary injunction on the Obama administration's policy expanding stem cell research. Lamberth was appointed in 1987 by then-President Ronald Reagan.
The suit was brought by Nightlight Christian Adoptions and several other organizations. "We do not want to see stem cell research that would destroy embryos," Ron Stoddart, executive director of Nightlight, told The New York Times. "Embryos are preborn human life that should be protected, and not destroyed. If there was a way of extracting the stem cells without destroying them, I would not be opposed to it."
Stoddart also said that the plaintiffs wanted government rules to hark back to the status quo under the Bush administration.
Scientists said they are somewhat muddled on how the decision affects stem cell research labs across the country.
"It's not clear what labs will have to do," Klitzman said. "The deci

This is with reference to "A non-starter FTA" (
Business Line, July 18): If the India-Asean FTA does not take off it will be a great disappointment for those hoping for a pan-Asian economic set-up. We cannot afford to live in isolation. We have to think of a better farm policy that gives input subsidies and increases productivity so that the farmers get remunerative income at lower prices and are able to compete globally.

Astronomers on Friday said they had observed the largest structure yet seen in the cosmos, a cluster of galaxies from the early Universe that spans an astonishing four billion light years.
The sprawling structure is known as a large quasar group (LQG), in which quasars — the nuclei of ancient galaxies, powered by supermassive black holes — clump together.
It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light four thousand million years to get from one end of the cluster to the other.
To give a sense of scale, our galaxy is separated from its nearest neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy, by two and a half million light years.AFP

The Graduate Studies programs at St. Mary's University are dedicated to equipping students with an advanced academic degree, which is becoming increasingly essential in both the public and private sectors. Here, esteemed faculty work closely with a select number of students to help cultivate their intellectual growth and professional preparedness.
Research is fundamental to graduate study. Students learn how new knowledge is created, how experimentation and discovery are carried out, and how to think, act, and perform independently in the discipline. Depending upon the program's applied orientation, the student can demonstrate mastery through research papers, literature reviews, artistic performance, oral and written presentations, or case studies.
A capstone or integrating activity, such as an advanced seminar, thesis, recital, exhibit, practicum, or internship provides a culminating experience. This allows students to demonstrate the writing, organizational and applied performance skills associated with the particular degree. It also provides a record of the student's achievement which can be consulted for references and program evaluation. The graduate degree includes a comprehensive examination at the end of all coursework. Students are required to demonstrate breadth of knowledge in the discipline, depth in specific areas, and the ability to integrate what has been learned.

Parents, LaZebnik continued, must help educators realize that "the social jungles like the lunchroom and play yard are just as important to (the children's) education success as memorizing history facts."
Koegel adds that getting an education is not the same as making sure kids on the spectrum are ready to move on to the next step in life. "We need to sit in on therapy and teaching sessions and follow through to help make them independent and successful in all the various areas of concern."
LaZebnik recalled that Andrew loved trains as a young child, and so they found train clubs where he could socialize: "This way he was with kids who also had a great love of trains and this gave him a social group to enjoy."
But now that he is a teen, it's tougher to find ways to help him develop socially, she said.
"I find I need to ask and answer 'How do I teach my child not to need me to teach him anymore?' The stakes are even higher and the risks greater for kids who can drive, go to parties where alcohol is served, live in college dorms and are still innocent and susceptible to peer manipulation."
Koegel said that because these kids are more trusting and naive, they may go along with drinking games, trying drugs or exposing themselves in public, at the coaxing of their peers in an attempt to be popular.
LaZebnik felt compelled to work on making sure Andrew would check in on his own with his cell phone at certain intervals – training him to gain confidence to be in certain places, at certain times. The more he responded as asked, the less frequently he had to check in.
Parents need to do the research about what is the right thing to do for their child, Koegel and LaZebnik add, and not get sidetracked by the latest miracle. Steady slow progress will prove to be much more rewarding and make for a life of successful changes, they said.
"As a parent of four, Andrew being our eldest, we've learned so much from him," LaZebnik said. "Our kids tend to be very kind to one another. We as parents have been shaped by our love and concern for our family. Andrew made it possible for us to enjoy all of our children's uniqueness. It's the way we look at things; it's not a disability, but a wonderful difference."

Over the past two years, sub-prime mortgage borrowing and a weakening economy have pushed increasing numbers of Americans into dire financial straits. Under the old rules, many could have declared bankruptcy, shed much of their debt, restructured their mortgages and held onto their homes, according to experts and the two reports.
But the 2005 law Biden championed made it more expensive and more difficult to declare bankruptcy, experts conclude. That forced hundreds of thousands of distressed homeowners to sell their homes, or default on their mortgages, after which the bank would sell their former home, according to the studies. That flood of homes going up for sale in an already-weakening market further depressed home prices, according to the two reports, snowballing into the current crisis.
BAPCPA "increased home foreclosures, increased the dollar value of financial assets in default, and put additional downward price pressure on real estate markets," concluded the Bernstein report. Bernstein conducted the report as an individual, not as a representative the Treasury Department.
