Acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) are responsible for promoting the health of patients and providing acute care. They are in charge of administering acute care medicine, performing treatments, and assessing patient needs, vital signs, and other symptoms that could indicate changes in the patient's condition. ACNPs document the patient's care plan using identified diagnoses, following doctor's orders and administrative recommendations to reach expected patient outcomes. They interact with patients and families and explain treatments in a thoughtful manner, and they report their progress to the acute care nurse manager in their organization.Read More...
ACNPs must follow all relevant safety procedures, as well as patient privacy regulations. They use a personal computer to record patient interactions, administered medication, and treatment schedules. In addition, they strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and therapeutic patient environment for patients and their loved ones. Their main duties also include monitoring the safety and effectiveness of equipment, as well as conducting patient check-ups to measure treatment performance.
A master's degree in nursing is generally required for this position. In addition, previous experience in an acute care capacity is generally required or preferred, and industry certifications may be beneficial. ACNPs must work well in a team environment to reach organizational objectives in a timely manner; however, they also need to perform effectively on their own with minimal supervision. They need to be organized, able to multitask, and in possession of excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Acute Care Nurse Practitioners report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Emergency/Trauma, Cardiology, Intensive Care Unit, and Critical Care are correlated to pay that is above average. For most people, competency in Critical Care indicates knowledge of Acute Care and Cardiology.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $90K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $95K. Acute Care Nurse Practitioners who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $100K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $102K.
For those looking to make money, Acute Care Nurse Practitioners in New York enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 17 percent above the national average. Acute Care Nurse Practitioners can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Houston (+8 percent), Dallas (+7 percent), Chicago (+6 percent), and Philadelphia (+5 percent). In Dayton, salaries are 8 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market. Employers pay around 7 percent less in Cincinnati and 4 percent less in Columbus, below-median salaries for those in this field.

WebMD Physician Directory
St. Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is more nationally recognized, Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political activity. Regionally, the city is popular for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies such as Ecolab and Lawson Software.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy were pressed from the get-go by Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the club's meeting last Saturday and when the club's renew hostilities this Saturday in Vancouver, LA expect much of the same.
In fact, such similarities are nothing new for LA who have played just three teams so in league play despite having played four matches. Add in the CONCACAF Champions League and the Galaxy's first seven games will have been against just four different opponents.
"I'm wondering what the rest of this league is like. This is like the old days of the league ," LA head coach Bruce Arena joked after training on Thursday. "We're looking forward to the game. They have a good team, but I feel comfortable about our team. We're looking better each week."
The 'Caps team that will take on the Galaxy will be slightly different than the one that LA earned a 1-0 victory over a week earlier, however, as Vancouver head coach will be able to call upon defensive midfielder Matias Laba. The Argentine was suspended for the StubHub Center leg of the home-at-home "series" but will be expected to return to the fold on Saturday providing the defensive cover in the center while also playing quick passes forward to kick start the Whitecaps attack.
The task of pressuring Laba is expected to fall to Galaxy midfielder Stefan Ishizaki, who often mans the attacking point of Arena's diamond midfield.
"We have to be close and close them down quickly in midfield. We can't be giving them time on the ball and it's easy to say that, but it'll take a lot of hard work," said Ishizaki.
In the latest edition of "By the Numbers," LAGalaxy.com takes a look at the Galaxy's upcoming match with Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy won't simply taking on Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, but they'll also be battling the unforgiving turf surface at BC Place.
The turf surface which was much maligned by Galaxy captain Robbie Keane a year ago was the reason that LA held training on the StubHub Center's turf field on Tuesday. But even though the bounces and grooves of the artificial pitch will cause issues, one member of the Galaxy is unfazed by playing on turf.
Galaxy midfielder Stefan Ishizaki played on turf for seven years while with Swedish first division club IF Elfsborg and believes that experience will help him as he looks to help lead LA to their third straight win.
"It'll be a difference, but I played for eight years on turf when I was in Sweden I'm used to it and I hope that I can take my experience into the game and help us," said Ishizaki.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena provided his thoughts following LA's 1-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Check it out below.
(On Stefan Ishizaki's performance…)
A great play by Stefan on the goal. Taking the ball down and getting by [Jay] DeMerit, whipping in a great cross to Robbie Keane. It was a great play. Stefan performed the best of the year. We got close to 80 minutes out of him. He looked a lot better. We think he can certainly continue to get better."
(On Jaime Penedo's performance…)
ARENA: "Good solid performance. I think in the first half he made a terrific save on [Kekuta] Manneh. A play where [Dan] Gargan misjudged the ball, and that was a big save. He wasn't tested a whole lot tonight, but that save in the first half was key."
(On the team's performance…)
ARENA: "We got a goal. That helped. I think going into half time they were going to hit a wall in the second half. They worked really hard the first 45 minutes. They had to chase the ball a lot. They were going to lose some of that energy in the second half. Certainly, getting that goal early change the game. They can't sit back and be content. And, the game opened up a little more. We created more chances. Unfortunately, we didn't get another goal or two."
(On Vancouver's speed…)
ARENA: "Their number 11 [Darren Mattocks] and 23 [Manneh] are certainly dangerous. We were well aware of their speed. They tried at times to get behind our backline, I think our backline played very well tonight, in particular Leonardo and [Omar] Gonzalez. They did a good job to neutralize those dangerous forwards."
A.J. DeLaGarza "comfortable" at left back as he fills in for the injured Todd Dunivant in Vancouver win
CARSON, Calif. – There were no jitters from A.J. DeLaGarza starting along the left side of defense on Saturday.
DeLaGarza put forth a confident performance at left back as he filled in for the injured Todd Dunivant and James Riley in LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Throughout the match, DeLaGarza provided his typically settled defending as he was able to track back frequently on plays eventually making a total of three clearances, three recoveries and three blocked crosses.
"I was comfortable," said DeLaGarza of starting along the left. "My first priority was defending and for the most part, the whole backline defended pretty well tonight."
In one of the newest LA Galaxy videos, Time Warner Cable Deportes analyst Elmur Souza breaks down the Galaxy's match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – This is what we know: the LA Galaxy will be without left back Todd Dunivant for Saturday's match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. But now that Dunivant is out, who slides in along the left side of defense for LA?
The host of candidates begins with A.J. DeLaGarza who has recovered from a left shin hemotoma injury that he suffered during LA's March 22 match against Real Salt Lake. Throughout the week in training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena mentioned him as an option and defender Omar Gonzalez also gave him a ringing endorsement heading into Saturday's match against Vancouver.
"I believe that we have the players to step in and not really skip a beat. Hopefully who ever plays in his position will step in and do a great job. Hopefully that guy is A.J. and we all know how reliable he is," said Gonzalez. "No one is worrying about how he'll do. We know that he'll do well."
DeLaGarza, who has little experience at the left back position, but plays left center back whenever partnered alongside Gonzalez, admits that he's ready to go if called upon.
"I'm ready to go and fill in wherever I'm needed if I'm called upon. I simply want to do whatever I can do to contribute," DeLaGarza told LA Galaxy Insider. "If I play there, I know that I need to be aware of their dangerous attacking core of guys. They're fast and we have to cognizant of that."
CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan is chasing history, but you wouldn't know it if you just asked him.
Donovan remains tied with MLS journeyman Jeff Cunningham for the league's all-time regular season goal scoring record with 134, but has yet to find the back of the net in any of LA's three league matches this season. A week ago, Donovan was active on the offensive end as he rattled off four shots –one of which forcing a save –while tallying two assists.
Although he's yet to find the back of the net, Donovan knows that he'll claim the record, but what is most important is that the Galaxy wins when he does.
"I know that it is going to come," said Donovan. "I've never been the guy that is too worried about scoring. If I get in a good position then I want to score to help the team win, but if I score and we don't win then it won't feel the same. I want to make sure that we win."

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Robb Duncanson, MEd, ATC, CSCS (University of Tennessee at Knoxville)
Description: This illustrative guide to taping techniques is quick, easy, and fairly comprehensive.
Purpose: It is meant to serve an easy-to-use, illustrated guide to various taping techniques. This type of publication can be very useful to clinicians, providing information about the techniques in a timely fashion. The book meets its objectives to a large degree. Proper taping is very hard to summarize, as it evolves daily and with each clinician, within each setting.
Audience: It appears the book is written for both students and experienced clinicians, although the editor never clearly states who the intended audience is. She has assembled a large and diverse group of contributing authors.
Features: The book offers a wide range of taping techniques that will be useful in the clinic and in the field to a wide range of therapists. Several classic techniques are included that often get overlooked in some current books. These techniques are worth preserving, learning, and passing on.
Assessment: This is a fine addition to curricula that need a taping textbook. It is also very useful for seasoned clinicians as a quick and easy reference. It does not particularly differ from several other books that are available, but it does have a straightforward presentation that makes it a very good choice.

Leicester Scientists Map Structure Of Key Complex In The Immune System
New study reveals the structure of complement component C1 – a target for complement-mediated diseases including strokes and heart attacks
Leicester scientists have mapped the "bouquet-like" structure of a key part of the body's immune system responsible for neutralizing bacteria and viruses.
A team from the University of Leicester's Departments of Infection, Immunity, and Inflammation and Biochemistry led a project which has mapped the structure of complement component C1 – a large complex of the immune system.
The C1 complex is a protein which is responsible for spotting foreign agents in the blood which can cause disease – known as pathogens.
When it comes across bacteria, viruses, fungi and other objects, it sets off a process called the complement system.
This stimulates the body's immune system including the activation of membrane attack complex (MAC) proteins which attack and kill the foreign cells.
Although the C1 complex was first identified more than 50 years ago, the way it works has been poorly understood until now.
The three-year project was funded by the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust.
Working with colleagues at Warwick Medical School, the University of California, San Diego, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, the Leicester researchers have revealed the constituent parts which make up the C1 complex.
This is extremely useful for helping us understand our own immune system – and could help us develop treatments to prevent the complement system from going wrong.
In some instances – including following a heart attack or stroke – the complement system attacks our own tissues, preventing the body from recovering.
Understanding the structure of the C1 complex could help scientists develop inhibitors to prevent the complement system from working against us in these cases.
The research reveals how the C1 complex is formed from constituent parts called C1q – the subcomponent responsible for recognizing targets – and C1r and C1s, which activate further developments in the complement process.
Dr Russell Wallis, of the University of Leicester's Departments of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation and Biochemistry, who led the project, said: "We have determined the structure of part of a large complex (called complement component C1) of the immune system. It recognizes pathogens and neutralizes them by triggering a reaction pathway called complement.
"Our study reveals for the first time how the complex is assembled from its constituent proteins and suggests how it activates the complement cascade.
"We were able to piece together the structure of the full-size complex from the structures of a series of overlapping segments. It looks like a bouquet of flowers. Our study has shown how the C1q, C1r and C1s proteins fit together.
"This finding helps us to understand how the immune system prevents disease and over the longer term may facilitate the development of new therapeutics.
"For example, the complement system attacks our own tissues in a number of disease states such as following a heart attack or stroke. Under these circumstances, use of inhibitors of complement could prevent this damage from occurring and allow the body to recover."

• Seniors visit McCann
A seminar open house was available to local high school seniors at the McCann School of Business in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Dec. 7. Seniors who attended the seminar were provided with college course opportunities available to them. The school paid for the seniors to take advantage of the Personality Profile, an assessment tool capable of analyzing each senior's personality traits, which then gave them a better understanding of which career path was best suited for that individual. Seniors were then able to visit classes and gain real college experience within the courses that they chose. One of the provided college courses was Criminal Justice, which Pittston Area High School senior Courtney Kapalka recalls as an exciting experience that provided her with base knowledge of fingerprinting and DNA analysis. - By Taylor Balasavage

We develop a methodology for the design of hot-potato algorithms for routing permutations. The basic idea is to convert existing store-and-forward routing algorithms to hot-potato algorithms. Using it, we obtain the following complexity bounds for permutation routing: n×n Mesh: 7n+o(n) steps; 2n hypercube: O(n2) steps; n×n Torus: 4n+o(n) steps. The algorithm for the two-dimensional grid is the first to be both deterministic and asymptotically optimal. The algorithm for the 2n-nodes Boolean cube is the first deterministic algorithm that achieves a complexity of o(2n) steps

mmmm yum!
Oh now, we have the best recipe for guacamole. I hated the stuff until I tasted Rick Bayless's version at a long past EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
He's a well known American Chef who has made his name in Mexican cooking. He travels to Mexico frequently and had the women of the many regions teach him how to cook.
Needless to say, he's incredible and so is his guacamole. :D
"Mexico One Plate At A Time" is the one we have. I know there are several others. We had him autograph it at the Food and Wine Festival (back when those festivals really were about NEW experiences with food and wine).
Oh josh, I am once again from Mars. I don't like hummus. Yucky, bleck...where's the trash can?
My 14 year old loves the M&S one. He eats the whole tub to himself.

Physician Assistant (Surgery): How to Become a Surgery Assistant
Learn how to become a surgery assistant. Research the job description and the education and licensing requirements, and find out how to start a career in surgical assisting.
Do I Want to Be a Surgery Assistant?
Surgical physician assistants (PAs) extend the services of surgeons by providing patient care before and after surgery. They may also assist surgeons in the operating room. Other services that surgical PAs may provide include physical exams, closing incisions, interpreting diagnostic tests and counseling patients about treatment.
Surgery assistants work full-time jobs that often include night and weekend shifts as well as overtime. Surgery assistants spend a lot of time on their feet, sometimes standing for hours on end in operating rooms. The career is high stress, can be physically demanding, and carries an emotional toll, but helping people with injuries or illness can be rewarding.
Job Requirements
Surgical PAs work under the supervision of a surgeon and must be licensed in every state. They undergo the same training as PAs in other specialty areas, including completing a bachelor's degree, work experience and a PA program. Some surgical PAs also choose to complete a surgery residency. The following table presents the requirements for beginning a career as a surgical PA:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Master's degree or equivalent PA program*
|Degree Field
|Physician assistant*
|Licensure is required by all states and the District of Columbia*
|4.5 years of experience is usually required to be a competitive candidate for a PA program**
|Key Skills
|Attention to detail, ability to work on a team, compassion*
|Computer Skills
|Ability to use spreadsheet, word processing and medical software
|Technical Skills
|Knowledge of medical equipment used in surgery, such as surgical clamps, forceps and accessories
|Additional Requirements
|Medical knowledge, good bedside manner***
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants, ***O*NET OnLine.
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
A requirement for entering a PA program is a bachelor's degree. PA programs do not require any particular undergraduate major, but they do have specific course prerequisites. Prospective PAs should plan to complete coursework in calculus, physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. It is also important to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher, since this is a requirement of many PA programs.
Success Tip:
- Take courses to prepare you for a job in healthcare. Applicants to PA programs need to have work experience in healthcare. Undergraduate students can plan for this by taking any prerequisites necessary to get a job as a registered nurse, paramedic, diagnostic imaging technician or whatever role they hope to fill while getting experience before their PA program.
Step 2: Gain Experience Working in Healthcare
The American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants states that successful applicants to PA programs have an average of 4.5 years of health care experience (aaspa.com). Many programs do not have a specific number of years of experience that are required, but admissions are often competitive, so applicants will need to demonstrate that they are well-prepared for the field. Depending on a student's undergraduate major, he or she could pursue a job in nursing, medical assisting or any other healthcare-related job.
Step 3: Attend a Physician Assistant Program
The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) accredits PA programs. It is important that students attend an accredited PA program in order to ensure that they are able to get certified and licensed. Most PA programs award a master's degree after two years of study. The first year of a PA program consists of didactic coursework, and the second year is spent completing clinical rotations in various areas of medicine. Some areas that a student may gain experience in are internal medicine, emergency medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology.
Step 4: Earn Certification
To become certified by the NCCPA, graduates of PA programs must take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). The multiple-choice exam is administered on computers at testing sites across the U.S. In addition to the PANCE, which is a general certification exam for all types of PAs, surgery assistants can also take certification exams that specifically apply to their specialty. Both the National Surgical Assistant Association (NSAA) and the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) offer specialized certification to surgery assistants who pass an organization's examinations and meet education and experience requirements.
Step 5: Apply for Licensure
After an individual has passed the NCCPA exam, he or she becomes certified and is eligible to apply for state licensure. In addition to submitting a passing score on the PANCE, licensure candidates need to provide evidence of completing an approved PA program with the required number of supervised clinical hours.
Step 6: Complete an Optional Surgical Residency
PAs specializing in surgery may want to complete a surgery residency. Full-time residencies are offered at several universities and teaching hospitals. They usually last for 12 months and could require up to 70 hours of work per week. During the residency, PAs gain intensive training through completing labs, seminars, lectures and clinical work. PAs could be paid a stipend while they are in the program.
Step 7: Complete Required Continuing Education to Maintain Certification
PAs must complete 100 credits of continuing medical education every two years in order to maintain certification. A certification maintenance fee is also required by the NCCPA. Every six years, PAs must also take a recertification exam to demonstrate their continued competency. The NCCPA will begin transitioning PAs to a 10-year recertification cycle in 2014.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- One of the hottest items on store shelves this Christmas shopping season is tar paper and a gooey material used to fight off worms.
They re the materials needed for area residents to prevent what happened last April the annoyance and mess caused by cankerworms hatching in trees.
This is the time of year when the eggs are laid, said Don McSween, city arborist in Charlotte.
Actually, the best time to wrap a band of sticky material around tree trunks was last month. But warm weather through the first half of December might have given people extra time to ward off a repeat performance of last spring, when the worm problem seemed especially bad.
Once we get into some consistent cold weather, it s too late, McSween said. The eggs are laid by then.
A wingless moth actually is responsible for the problem. The moths climb into trees in late autumn and lay eggs. In the spring, those eggs hatch, and the worms leave a mess in the trees and under them.
The only way to stop the moths is by preventing them from climbing trees. McSween said there are two methods buying an already-made trap, or making one yourself with batting material, covered by tar paper, and then adding a sticky material on top.
Some prevention now can help a lot in the spring, McSween said.
The problem is that the material isn t easy to find now.
We sold out of our supply, said Ernie McLaney, of Organic Plant Healthcare in Matthews. Actually, the time frame we suggest for the traps is the last three weeks of November.
We ve had some pretty mild days, but a lot of the moths have probably gotten into the trees already.
An employee at Norwood Nursery on Albemarle Road in east Charlotte said her business sells out of the material about as quickly as we get it in.
One store that still has the material is Monroe Hardware in Mint Hill. As of this week, the store had some of the materials on its shelves.
It s been in heavy demand, said Sally Dean of Monroe Hardware. We sell out, then we order some more. It seems to be in heavy demand this year.
McSween said people looking for the materials should check with nurseries and local hardware stores. He has posted a list of some stores that might have the materials at http://bit.ly/ShQLdU.
You might want to hurry. Some of the long-range weather forecasts indicate a change to cooler weather is expected next week.

Other important side effects of methylphenidate include:
There have been rare reports of Tourette's syndrome, a syndrome in which there are uncontrollable tics such as grimacing occurring with methylphenidate use. Because of the potential for side effects, methylphenidate should be used with caution by patients who have relatives with Tourette's syndrome or have the syndrome themselves or who have severe anxiety, seizures, psychosis, emotional instability, major depression, glaucoma, or motor tics.
Sudden discontinuation of long-term methylphenidate therapy may unmask depression. Gradual withdrawal, under supervision, is recommended.
Methylphenidate is habit forming and should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of drug or alcohol abuse. Chronic abuse can lead to tolerance and psychological dependence leading to abnormal behavior.
Priapism defined as painful and nonpainful penile erection lasting more than 4 hours, have been reported in pediatric and adult patients treated with stimulants. The erection usually resolves when the drug is stopped. Prompt medical attention is required in the event of suspected priapism.

17.11.03 - By Keith Terceira: I began this article with the intentions of giving a cliquey on the boxing career of Canadian Champion Earl Walls, but became intrigued by the entire Walls family. One can only imagine the trials and tribulations endured by the Walls family founder Jon Freeman Walls. I highly recommend readers to take a moment and explore the Walls Family History located at www.undergroundrailroadmuseum.com
It is not often I add links and such to my work but this is a special occasion for a unique fighter.
Earl Walls was born in 1928 the second eldest of ten children in the Township of Maidstone. He attended Essex District High School leaving to work at Ford's with father Frank. At 19 Earl Walls came under the wing of Jimmy Jones a Toronto fight promoter. Training took him eventually to Stillman's Gym in New York City. A two fisted fighter Earl displayed a great left hook and powerful right.
May 5, 1948 in his pro debut Earl took on Dick Lee and it ended in a 1st round KO. In fact 17 of Walls 43 fights ended in one round. More 1st round knockouts than the great Joe Louis who was going strong at the onset of Walls career.
Some victims of the Earls Power were Kurt Schiegl, Rex Layne (twice), George Parmentier, Vern Escoe, Joe Kahut, Tommy Harrison, Bernie Reynolds . Earl had wins over Freddie Beshore, Henry Hall, Billy Gilliam. Just as things were coming together for Walls, at age 27, on November 2, 1955 he retires from the ring.
Nicknamed the "Hooded Terror" Walls blinded sided the sport by his announced departure while in training to Ewart "ED" Potgieter the South African gargantuan who demolished and dismantled opponents. 1957 Bruce Olson died as a result of injuries sustained in match bout with the 7 foot 2 inch 325 pound giant. This had nothing to do with Earls retirement. I suspect injuries and the birth of his first child led to the decision.
Perhaps it was the frustration of not receiving a shot at the title from Rocky Marciano, though plans were attempted by former world champion Henry Armstrong and promoter Vic Tanny. It was even reported in the L.A. Times as headline read "L.A. Scribe Says Armstrong Trying to Promote Marciano-Walls Fight".
Archie Moore considerd Walls as he started his run at Rocky but used the excuse that Walls didn't have the drawing power. More likely that Walls power was such that Moore couldn't gamble on being stopped short of his goal to meet Marciano. What resulted was the undignified suspect match-up of Valdez-Moore.
In 1954 when Harrison vs. Walls II occurred Walls was running a streak of 13 wins by KO before the sixth round and 2 losses on points to Joe Kahut and Tommy Harrison. He would avenge the loss to Joe six months later with a second round KO. April of 54 he walked into the ring and crushed Harrison in the first round.
It was also the last KO Earl would ever have. Injury could have possible stopped the power display that fans were used to from Walls. When he fought Edgardo Romero of Argentina ,a man who managed only a 6-12 career record the power had left. Edgardo pulled out a points win in 10 in Canada. Four months later Walls would return the favor, but Romero was notorious for having a weak chin, why either fight would go the distance is perplexing. Fact is that the last seven fights of his life, Earl went to the scorecards.
Points wins over Jimmy Slade . James J. Parker, Henry Hall and Billy Giliam put Earl in the #5 spot in the division . Maybe it was divine intervention. Perhaps the lure of family life that lead to the end of the beginning. Earl Walls after boxing became a force in real estate, a force in life, and an contributing bard on the Walls Family and the Underground Railroad.

GBH started in Birmingham, England in 1980, gigging as often as possible around the area. According to the band, the initials GBH stood for "Grevious Bodily Harm", a term for assault used in the British courts (although some disparagingly referred to them as "Great Big Haircuts"). After they established a name for themselves on the local punk scene, they a metal band who had already taken the name "GBH", so they changed their name to "Charged GBH" to avoid a legal dispute (after the demise of the metal band, "Charged GBH" was once again shorted to "GBH"). In 1981, they were signed to Clay Records and released the Leather, Bristles, Studs & Acne 12" and then the No Survivors and Sick Boy EPs. After those went out of print, they released them all on one record entitled Leather, Bristles, No Survivors and Sick Boy. They released their first proper full legnth, City Baby Attacked by Rats in 1982, at the hight of the UK's ever-blossoming (at the time) hardcore punk scene.
The music was fast and furious, but what set them apart from their fast and furious contemporaries (Exploited, Discharge, Varukers, etc.) was the lyrical content. While other bands wrote about politics and war, GBH had songs about killing sprees, necrophilia, murder mysteries, even women with wombs made of glass so the world could see in. This set GBH apart from their contemporaries in the punk scene (for better or for worse). In 1983, they released the second album, a sequal called City Baby's Revenge and embarked on their first North American tour with Social Distortion. Later in the year, they released the singles, Catch 23 and Give me Fire.
In 1984, they released the 12" single which didn't do as well as the previous releases. Around this time, punk in the UK was dwindling rapidly and the future looked bleak for bands like GBH. On top of it, they had to replace their drummer, Wilf, and sign to Rough Justice. The band released a string of albums that did equally poorly as far as record sales, Midnight Madness and Beyond (1986), No Need to Panic (1987), Wot a Bargin in 1988, A Fridge Too Far (1989), From Here to Reality (1990) and Church of the Truely Warped (1992). Hey, at least they were consistant! The albums had more of a metal feel to them (blame the coke?) which might account for the poor reviews they were getting. It could also be that singer, Colin could no longer be known as the man with hair that defies gravity and the scene was really fashion oriented.
After two years of non-stop touring in support of the Church LP, they fired their manager and signed with We Bite Records in Germany and released Punk Junkies in 1996. The same year, Rough Justice released Punk Junkies in America. At this point, punk had started getting big again and many old bands re-united for the "Holidays in the Sun" festival. This event featured old bands, new bands, good bands, mediocre bands and just plain greedy dishonest bands. GBH was proud to say they kept playing through the hard times rather than quitting when the money ran out.
After this there was a long break in touring, despite playing most of the Holidays in the Sun festivals. Their next release was Punk Rock Ambulance in 2000, a split with Billyclub, followed by a tour of America. Their fanbase was still fairly large around the world. In 2002, they released HA HA on Go Kart Records and recently toured on the West Coast with the Circle Jerks.

Hotel Vertigo
940 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Nob Hill
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Back when it was called the Empire, this downtown San Francisco classic played a role in Hitchcock's Vertigo. Now, after a very thorough renovation and re-branding, the film plays on a loop in the lobby. Recently, as the York, it was showing its age — but that was before the reins were handed to the Californian designer Thomas Schoos, whose baroque-modern sensibility is perfectly suited to the Vertigo's dizzying mix of old and new.
The location places you midway up Nob Hill, a couple blocks west of Union Square, perfectly situated for shopping and sightseeing, yet integrated into the neighborhood and off the main tourist drag. The rooms aren't huge, but none in San Francisco are, and what they lack in sheer acreage they make up for in personality, with modern fixtures alongside antique-style chairs and some charmingly oddball objets d'art.
There's no restaurant just yet, but in this town you're never more than fifty yards from good food. Anyway, they're working on it. It doesn't change the fact that the Vertigo has come out of nowhere, and is suddenly one of the most stylish in town — and if you know San Francisco you know how uncommon that is.

What I liked:
It was very quiet in our room, which was on the 5th floor and not facing the street. Everything about the room was great except some interior lights turned on/off by motion detectors, which was frustrating.
What the hotel could do better:
I rated the service as "good" because one (female) person at the front desk was not at all helpful and a bit rude. However, the other front desk staff were cheerful, polite, and went out of their way to help.

Spreading joy: Volunteers get the food out with Mobile Meals
"This was a good Christmas for us," Sam Robinson said.
Sam and his wife, Judy, used their Christmas Day volunteering to deliver Mobile Meals to area homebound seniors.
The Robinsons' children are grown, and they had an earlier family Christmas celebration.
"So this was the first time since we've been married that it was just us on Christmas Day," he said.
They were aware of the Mobile Meals program through their church, Central Baptist of Bearden, and decided that this Christmas they would volunteer to deliver meals.
"We really enjoyed it, and it brightened our day, too," Robinson said. "Some of the folks said that we were the only people they would see that day."
In some cases, said Mobile Meals Director Alison Taylor, the visit "can be as important as the meal."
The Mobile Meals program serves about 850 daily meals in Knoxville and Knox County, and relies on more than 1,000 volunteers year round.
More than half of the program's recipients have family or friends they can be with on Christmas Day. But many are homebound seniors with no family in town and no place to go, For them, Mobile Meals delivered about 400 meals, plus gift bags filled with necessities, on Christmas Day.
The kitchen staff began preparing the meals at 7 a.m. Delivery runs began at 9:45 a.m. and were completed by 1:30, Taylor said.
"It's a big job, but it's worth it, and it is a job that could not be done without the volunteers," Taylor said.
The volunteers are drawn from a wide variety of groups in the community, including churches, other faith-based organizations, and families who devote their Christmas Day to helping others, she said.

I had General Tso's Chicken just now which was really Sweet & Sour chicken with some hot pepper oil poured in and the Chicken was tough and tasted old. The fried rice was really dyed rice, white rice with yellow food coloring. The shrimp eggroll I ordered had one small nearly tasteless piece of shrimp.

Letters: On trip flap, witches and more

San Diego
Unwelcome jackpot
With regard to "Busby fundraisers settle civil rights case" (SignOn San Diego, Oct. 25), which stems from a confrontation with a sheriff's deputy at a political event in 2009: This settlement represents all that is wrong with politicians and lawyers in America today. That $1.2 million lottery ticket from taxpayer funds sure could have been used to pay for a lot of county jobs.

Hilltop High parent supports tardy policy
I hope the parents cited in your story ("Hilltop High lockout policy raises concern," Local, Oct. 25) spend more time addressing the real issue of why their children are late. If you don't like the punishment, don't do the crime. What the school is trying to achieve is greatly appreciated by this parent and many others.
How would parents feel if the teachers could be late to class with no punishment? We expect respect and professionalism from the teachers, and we should expect nothing less from these kids. It interrupts a class when a child is late, and if that child decided not to return to class for a lesson, what kind of value does this child have? What about the other 30 kids in class that are there on time? They don't want their education interrupted. They have a right to have a well-organized class.
The school district can't make it more simple: Be in class, on time.

Meg vs. Jerry
I am really concerned about people's selective memory with regard to Jerry Brown's tenure as governor. Further, there is a whole new generation who don't have any facts about his performance as governor.
Does anyone remember Rose Bird, the California Supreme Court chief justice? She was the epitome of his judgment and a perfect example of his disregard for the well-being of the people of California. He supported and condoned her anti-business and anti-law-enforcement agenda.
Now he says he is just the opposite; however, his public persona since he left the governor's office is pretty consistently anti-business and anti-law-enforcement. We can expect a rerun of him exercising the same poor judgment if we are foolish enough to put him back in office.
Frank Hines
San Diego
I can't understand why the Union-Tribune would endorse Meg Whitman for governor ("Whitman the better choice for jobs, growth," Oct. 14). Why would a person who can afford to spend more than $140 million of her own money on this campaign want to be the governor, with its salary of about $174,000?
Obviously, she has a big agenda, and she's going to try to get her agenda to succeed, at a cost to the taxpayers and on the backs of state workers. How in the world can the U-T endorse her? Oh, the U-T also endorsed Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I guess it all makes sense.

PEX line for Air?
Has anyone Used Pex line as Air supply Line?? I'd like to run a line in from the Garage to the Basement for Airbushing.
I realize that airbrushing uses lower pressures than many other compressor projects, but, I would not use ANY plastic pipe for air. Should it fail, there will be very sharp projectiles flying all over the place. I have seen the "curly Q" tailpieces used for attaching tools at the end of the line, break and throw pieces. My choice, if I wanted to run a flexible line, would be to use regular compressor hose.

Bulgarian Astronomers Pin Hopes on PM to Rescue Observatory
Astronomers from Bulgaria's Rozhen observatory will meet with the country's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Wednesday in a bid to convince him that the observatory should not be closed.
"We need approximately BGN 250 000 by the end of the year in order to survive," Rozhen observatory director Nikola Petrov has told the Bulgarian National Television.
The observatory has already launched a donation campaign in support of its existence.
Rozhen astronomers recently proposed to play a friendly football game with Vitosha Bistritsa, the amateur football team of Boyko Borisov. They subsequently explained that the proposal was a joke intended to draw attention to their problem.
Earlier in November, the observatory - the largest in South-Eastern Europe - warned it will be forced to cease operations if it does not receive additional funds.
"The Rozhen Observatory belongs to the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, which has its own budget and is to decide how to spend its money," Finance Minister Simeon Djankov declared on Tuesday.
Since assuming office in 2009, Djankov has launched a relentless campaign against the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, cutting its budget by some 40%, and not refraining from vitriolic attacks against its alleged ineffectiveness.
In 2009, Rozhen astronomers took part in the discovery of WASP 3-c, the first exoplanet detected with a new technique called Transit Timing Variations.
