Low back pain and waddling gait in a 60-year-old woman
A 60-year-old woman comes to your office with complaints of low back pain, which is causing progressive difficulty in walking. The pain has gradually increased since the onset of menopause 5 years ago. This discomfort is especially noticeable after prolonged sitting.
Social history reveals that the patient has been a housewife since her marriage 38 years ago. Her husband, who is in good health, owns and operates a small retail shop in their home. The patient has been making jewelry for sale in her husband's shop and as a hobby for about 35 years. They have two adult sons who are in good health.
The patient denies a personal or family history of kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or cardiovascular disease; she also denies history of back trauma or weight loss. She has smoked one to two packs of cigarettes a day for the past 40 years. She does not take estrogens, calcium supplements, vitamins, or other medications.
On examination you find a thin female with a slightly stooped posture and a waddling gait. Blood pressure is 120/70. Her teeth have a yellow discoloration above the crown, and her fingernails are stained with nicotine. She is anosmic on cranial nerve examination. Results of cardiovascular and abdominal examination are normal. The lower lumbar spine is tender to percussion, but the patient does not complain of pain on straight leg raising. Her deep tendon reflexes are intact, and the remainder of the physical examination, including neurologic testing, is normal. Sensation and strength are normal in legs and feet. Range of motion is normal in hips and knees.
Initial laboratory data include a urinalysis showing 3+ proteinuria and glycosuria. BUN, creatinine, and albumin levels are normal. Roentgenograms of the pelvis and lumbosacral spine reveal pseudofractures and other evidence of severe osteomalacia and mild osteoporosis. There are no osteolytic or osteoblastic lesions.
(a) What should be included on the patient's problem list?
(b) What additional information would be helpful in diagnosing this woman's condition?
(c) What further tests, if any, would you recommend?
(d) What treatment would be appropriate for this patient?
Answers to the Pretest are included in Challenge answers (6) through (9) on page 19.

The co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons has died. David Lance Arneson, who dreamed up the fantasy game with Gary Gygax in 1974, lost his two-year battle with cancer on Tuesday evening.
The magical world that Arneson created with Dungeons & Dragons spawned books, video games, movies—and a devoted legion of sometimes obsessive fans. A single game of Dungeons & Dragons, in which players pretend to be elves, wizards, dwarves and warlocks, can last for days or even weeks.
Arneson was 61.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the bladder or rectum protrude into the vaginal wall. While millions of women in the U.S. suffer from pelvic organ prolapse, most are not aware of this condition.
There is a silence around pelvic organ prolapse because of its intensely personal nature. Women who suffer from it often don't share the information. It's important to know that MaineGeneral offers many effective treatment solutions.
Vaginal vault prolapse is more common in women who have had a hysterectomy. It occurs when the upper part of the vagina descends into the vaginal canal because it doesn't have the same support it did when the uterus was present. As a result, the upper part pulls the rest of the vagina into the vaginal canal or even outside the vagina.
Pain and discomfort with prolapse is considerable. Women often will refrain from sexual intercourse because of discomfort, limit their physical activity and may have urinary or fecal incontinence.
Vaginal vault prolapse can occur alone or with:
Prolapse surgery options have improved significantly in recent years and MaineGeneral physicians can offer several long-term surgical solutions close to home.
Many options use a mesh to restore pelvic structures to a more normal position and reinforce the structures around the vagina to maintain support.
Women who have more than one prolapse often can have them repaired during the same surgical procedure.
For more information, speak with your gynecologist or primary care physician.

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!
Cloud computing is commonly described in terms of service-style access: "Infrastructure as a Service" (IaaS), "Platform as a Service" (PaaS), and "Software as a Service" (SaaS) are popular monikers attached to different styles of cloud computing. In the enterprise, however, it is often better to consider an alternative view in which services themselves are part of the infrastructure.
In his session at the 9th International Cloud Expo, Dr. Rich Wolski, CTO and Co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems Inc., will discuss "Services as an Infrastructure" as a way in which enterprises can architect production cloud computing environments. Cloud applications must consider the services they access as "The Infrastructure" independently of how those services are hosted. Wolski will illustrate specific deployment strategies based on user experiences with private clouds in various enterprise settings and discuss likely future technological developments.

What do a firewall and a fortress have in common? They are no longer strong enough to protect the valuables housed inside. Like the walls of an old fortress, the cracks in the firewall are allowing the bad guys to slip in - unannounced and unnoticed. By the time these thieves get in, the damage is already done and the network is already compromised. Intellectual property is easily slipped out the back door leaving no trace of forced entry. If we want to reign in on these cybercriminals, it's hig...

Product description
"The works of Plautus," writes Palmer Bovie, "mark the real beginning of Roman literature." Now Bovie and David Slavitt have brought together a distinguished group of translators for the final two volumes of a four-volume set containing all twenty-one surviving comedies of one of Western literature's greatest dramatists. Born in Sarsina, Umbria, in 254 B.C., Plautus is said to have worked in Rome as a stage carpenter and later as a miller's helper. Whether authentic or not, these few details about the playwright's life are consistent with the image of him one might infer from his plays. Plautus was not "literary" but rather an energetic and resourceful man of the world who spoke the language of the people. His dramatic works were his way of describing and portraying that world in a language the people understood. Since Plautus's career unfolded against the background of the Second Punic War, it is not surprising that his prologues often end with a wish for the audience's "good luck against your enemies" or that the plays have their share of arrogant generals, boastful military captains, and mercenary adventurers. But other unforgettable characters are here as well-among them Euclio, in the Aulularia, the model for Moliere's miser. In these lively new translations, which effectively communicate the vitality and verve of the originals, the plays of Plautus are accessible to a new generation. Plays and translators: Volume 3: Poenulus, Janet Burroway. Asinaria, Fred Chappell. Trinummus, Daniel Mark Epstein. Epidicus, Constance Carrier. Mostellaria, Palmer Bovie.

US Honeybee Population Still Threatened
Risks still surround the fate of the honeybee, the Associated Press reported.
A shocking 29% of honeybee hives in the US have died off in the last year, however this is less of a loss than what was noted in 2007 and 2008.
A survey released Tuesday by the Apiary Inspectors of America and the Department of Agriculture's Honey Bee Lab, indicated that the situation for the tiny insects with the task of pollinating various important food groups was still very precarious.
"This is the third winter in a row where we've lost almost a third of the colonies," says Dennis van-Engelsdorp, Apiary Inspectors president.
In 2007, the hive loss reported was 31.8%, followed by a 35.8% loss in 2008. Beekeepers work hard to establish new hives, but it is very expensive and requires large amounts of time. Of the approximate 900 migratory bookkeepers in the US, VanEngelsdorp fears that some of these may be forced to go out of business due to the losses.
Scientists know that bees are dying partly because of new fungal diseases and from exposure to an Asian parasite called the vampire mite, yet additional undetermined causes are still being researched.
What is also unknown and cause for continued investigation is the phenomena termed colony collapse disorder. This is a practice in which healthy worker bees abandon the hive and honey contained within, leaving the queen and immature workers to die.
"It's altruistic suicide," Van-Engelsdorp says. "The workers somehow know they're sick, and in an attempt to stop their sisters from getting infected, they fly away."
But it remains a mystery as to what is making them sick.
Van-Engelsdorp proposes, "It might be nutrition, new and changed pathogens, and also possibly pesticide exposure." Genetically engineered crops offer no proof of playing culprit, he added. Studies have revealed that genetically engineered pollen fed to bees does not shorten their lifespan.
It is crucial, Van-Engelsdorp said, for honeybees to continue to do the work required for pollination-dependent crops like almonds, apples, blueberries, cranberries, pumpkins, watermelons and cucumbers.

GM rolls out first electric car battery
General Motors has made its first mass-produced electric car battery as it gears up to sell the new Chevrolet Volt to the general public later this year.
The lithium-ion battery was made Thursday at GM's Brownstown Battery Pack Assembly Plant that will produce the batteries for the automaker's Volt assembly line in Detroit. Regular production at both facilities is expected to begin in the fourth quarter.
GM Chairman and interim CEO Ed Whitacre Jr. had told reporters Wednesday that GM will send out some Volt models before November, when they are scheduled to hit showrooms. He said the company might sell a few early, and it could send some to consumers before November.
GM has plans to test about 100 of the vehicles with utility companies before the showroom debut.

Thanks to some of the others who wrote their repair experiences I was able to get this hub apart, order the parts and get it back together in less than two day. I did have to chisel the aluminum nut and some of the zinc hub off from the shaft like others had said they did. It was time consuming and all I can think of while I was beating the heck out of the chisel was what where they thinking of when they designed this washing machine. I must thank Parts Select for getting the parts out the next day and having a great web site that has a place for exploded views of the appliances and customer repair comments.

SANTA ANA – An ex-Fullerton police officer charged with murder in the beating death of a homeless man in 2011 had seven earlier contentious encounters with the man in the 30 months leading up to the fatal melee, according to court documents.
Manuel Ramos, who is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, called mentally ill transient Kelly Thomas by his first name, engaged him in lengthy conversations and was verbally confrontational, according to prosecution motions reviewed by the Register.
"You're not as dumb and disabled as you make yourself out to be," Ramos told Thomas in one conversation, according to transcripts of one hour's worth of audio-recorded conversations.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you," he said in another.
"Next time, you're going to go to jail," he said in a third.
Thomas is passive, compliant and obviously mentally ill during the recorded discussions, Deputy District Attorney Keith Bogardus contended in his legal brief filed in support of motions to admit certain evidence and to suppress other evidence.
Among other things, Bogardus seeks to allow evidence about Ramos' familiarity with Thomas during the earlier discussions, to limit evidence of 18 other contacts Thomas had with law enforcement since 1996, and to allow graphic photos of Thomas in the hospital after the incident and during the autopsy.
Bogardus contended in his motion that the audio recordings of conversations show that Kelly Thomas suffered from mental problems, had difficulty understanding Ramos and was very slow comprehending instructions.
Collectively, Bogardus wrote, "the prior conversations between Ramos and Thomas demonstrate that the defendant knew (or at least should have known) that Thomas suffered a mental disability," and are relevant at trial.
Defense attorney John Barnett said he is aware of the earlier contact between his client and Thomas, but said the motion was the first time he knew prosecutors were seeking to introduce the conversations into evidence.
"We're reviewing it," Barnett said. He also added that the defense believes it is clear from a surveillance video of the fatal encounter at the Fullerton Transportation Center on July 5, 2011, that Ramos did not recognize Thomas. "He didn't connect him with any with prior contact," Barnett said.
Ramos, 39, is the first uniformed police officer in Orange County history to be charged with murder for an on-duty, in-uniform incident. He is standing trial along with former Fullerton police Cpl. Jay Cicinelli, 42 – charged with involuntary manslaughter and excessive force – in connection with the encounter when Thomas was fatally injured.
The first stage of jury selection started Tuesday when 150 candidates were crammed into a 10th-floor courtroom to qualify a jury pool large enough for a trial that could last into mid-January. Those prospects who had the time and resources to serve were ordered to return Nov. 18 for individual questioning and final selection. The trial is scheduled to get underway Dec. 2 with opening statements.
Meanwhile, Superior Court Judge William Froeberg will preside over a hearing beginning Nov. 12 to make decisions on what evidence will be admitted of prohibited before the jury. Both prosecuting and defense attorneys filed several motions to limit or admit evidence under seal Monday. But Bogardus also filed one series of motions on the record.

Staff Reporter
BHUBANESWAR: The hype generated around Orissa's emphatic success to attract investments especially in steel sector appears to have not percolated down to ground.
During the last five years, the time when Orissa government went on agreement signing spree with private companies, investment to the tune of Rs. 23,334 crores was actually grounded against the promise of Rs. 1,98,149 crore that constituted only 11.76 per cent.
Except Bhushan Power and Steel Limited, Bhushan Steel Limited and Jindal Stainless Limited, no significant investment has been made. The big players are yet to make substantial investments.
Main reasons
The reasons could be attributed to State government's inability to provide land and no concrete assurance of captive iron ore mines to companies. POSCO India Private Limited, which had promised Rs. 51,000 crore of investment, has so far invested Rs. 175 crore.
Land disputes
Global leader Arcelor-Mittal and Indian major Tata Steel are also struggling to execute their project due to land disputes.
The State government claimed that steel companies had provided employment to 15842 persons, of which 11023 are from the State.
The progress is likely to slow down further in the face of global melt down.
However, 17 companies who have entered into memoranda of understanding with State government are sitting over 60 mining leases.
More mines
The companies which have held more than one mines included Rungta Mines Limited, Tata Steel, MGM Steel Ltd and Jindal Steel and Power Limited.

Unleashing the "real" Callie Turner!
Dr. Matt Sawyer isn't afraid to break rules. After losing his wife on a field mission, he thinks life is too short for red tape. When there's a suspected outbreak in his E.R., the last person he wants brought in is someone like Callie "By the Book" Turner!
Callie is truly in the firing line, but Matt is reluctantly intrigued by the latent beauty under her neat designer suits, and sparks are soon flying—in more ways than one—between the buttoned-up investigator and this sexy rebel doctor!
"Okay, beautiful, what you got for me?" Sawyer leaned across the reception desk as the clerk glared at him.
Miriam cracked her chewing gum. "You've been here too long—you're getting smart-mouthed."
"I've always been smart-mouthed."
"And get a haircut."
He pushed his shaggy light brown hair from his eyes then tossed his head. "The longhaired look is in. Besides—I'm worth it."
The clerk rolled her eyes and picked up three charts. "You can have two sick kids with chicken pox in room six or a forty-three-year-old female with D&V behind curtain two." They lifted their heads in unison as the noise of someone retching behind curtain two filled the air.
He shuddered. "Give me the kids." He grabbed the charts and walked down the corridor. His eyes skimmed the information on the charts. Ben and Jack Keating, aged six and seven, just returned from abroad with chicken pox.
He pushed open the door. Unusually, the lights were dimmed in the room. The two kids—brothers—lay on the beds with a parent at each bedside. Alison, one of the nurses, was taking a temperature. She walked over to him, her pregnancy bump just starting to emerge from her scrub trousers. "Sickest kids I've seen in a while," she murmured.
He gave her a smile, his natural instinct kicking in. "You safe to be in here?"
She sighed. "After three kids of my own it's safe to say I'm immune."
Sawyer crossed the room quickly, leaving the charts at the bottom of the beds. Alison was right. These kids didn't look good. Chicken pox could be a lot more serious than a few itchy spots.
"Hi, I'm Matt Sawyer, one of the docs. I'm going to take a look at Ben and Jack." He extended his hand towards the mother then the father, taking in their exhausted expressions before turning to the sink, washing his hands and donning some gloves.
He walked over to Ben. In the dim light it was difficult to see his face, but it looked as if it was covered in red, bumpy spots. "Hi, Ben, I'm just going to have a little look at you."
The six-year-old barely acknowledged that he'd spoken. He glanced at the cardiac and BP monitor, noting the increased heart rate and low blood pressure. At first touch he could feel the temperature through his gloves. He pressed gently at the sides of Ben's neck. Unsurprisingly his glands were swollen. There were a number of spots visible on Ben's face so he peeled back the cover to reveal only a few angry spots across his chest but a whole host across his forearms.
The first thing that struck him was that all of the spots were at the same stage of development. Not like chicken pox at all—where spots emerged and erupted at different times.
Alarm bells started ringing in his head. Be methodical. He heard the old mantra of his mentor echoing around him.
He moved to the bottom of the bed and lifted Ben's foot.
There. The same uniform spots on the soles of his feet. He stretched over, reaching Ben's hand and turning his palm over. Red vesicular spots.
He tasted bile in the back of his throat and glanced across the room to where Alison had switched on her telepathic abilities and had already hung some bags of saline and was running through the IV lines.
"Where were you on vacation?"
The boys' father shook his head. "We weren't on vacation. I was working. We've just come back from three months in Somalia. I work for a commercial water-piping company."
Somalia. The last known place for a natural outbreak of this disease.
"Were any of the locals you came into contact with sick?" There were a million different questions flying around his head but he didn't want to bombard the parents.
Mrs Keating nodded. "We were in the highlands. A lot of them were sick. But we didn't think it was anything too serious. We actually wondered if we'd taken a bug to them—we were the first people they'd come into contact with in years."
His reaction was instinctive. "Step outside, please, Alison."
"What?" The nurse wrinkled her brow.
He raised his voice, lifting his eyes and fixing them on her, praying she would understand. "Wait outside for me, please, Alison."
The atmosphere was electric. She was an experienced nurse and could read the expression on his face. She dropped the IV lines and headed for the door.
"Is something wrong?" Mr. Keating started to stand.
Sawyer crossed to the other bed. Jack was lying with his back to him. He wasted no time by pulling the white sheet from across Jack's chest and tugging gently on his shoulder to pull him round.
Identical. His face was covered. Red, deep-seated round vesicles. All at the same stage of development, a few covering his chest but mainly on his forearms. He opened Jack's mouth. Inside, his oral mucosa and palate were covered. He checked the soles of his feet and the palms of his hands. More identically formed red spots.
He could feel chills sweeping his body. It couldn't be. It couldn't be. This disease had been eradicated in the seventies. No one had seen this disease since then.
Then a little light bulb went off in his head. Hadn't there been a suspected outbreak a few years ago that had turned out to be chicken pox? The very thing that this was presumed to be? He ran the list of other possibilities in his head. He knew them off by heart. Anyone who'd ever worked in the DPA did.
But the more he stared at the spots the more convinced he became that it was none of the alternatives.
"How long since the spots appeared?"
The mother and father exchanged glances. "A few days? They had a rash at first then the spots developed. They've got much worse in the last day. But the boys had been feeling unwell before that—headaches, backaches, vomiting. We just thought they'd picked up a bug."
Sawyer felt as if he was in a bad movie. Why him? Why did this have to happen while he was on duty?
Would someone else recognize this? Realize the potential risks? Or would they just chalk it up to a bad dose of chicken pox and discover the consequences later? He'd put all this behind him. He'd walked away and vowed never to be involved in any of this again. He was in the middle of Chicago—not in some far-off country. Things like this didn't happen here. Or they shouldn't happen here.
And right now that was he wanted to do again. To walk out that front door and forget he'd ever seen any of this.
He looked at the long inviting corridor outside. He wasn't a coward. But he didn't want this. He didn't want any of this. The kind of thing that sucked you in until it squeezed all the breath from you.
A shadow moved outside the door.
But there was the killer. A pregnant nurse standing outside that door. A nurse who had been working with him and had contact with these children. Could he walk away from her?
He glanced upwards. It was almost as if someone had put her here so he couldn't walk away. His conscience would never allow him to do that.
If only he didn't know she was pregnant. If only that little bump hadn't just started to emerge above her scrub trousers. That would make this a whole lot easier.
Then he could walk away.
He took a deep breath and steeled himself. He was a doctor. He had a duty of care. Not just to his colleagues but to these kids.
These very sick kids.
He looked back at the parents. "I need you to think very carefully—this is very important. Did you fly home?"
They both nodded.
"When, exactly, did you first notice the rash on the boys? Before or after you were on the plane?"
The parents looked at each other, screwing up their foreheads and trying to work it out.
A detailed history could wait. He knew enough already. He wasn't part of the DPA any more. This was their job, not his. The notification part he could handle—setting the wheels in motion so the processes could take over.
Isolation. Containment. Diagnosis. Lab tests. Media furore.
In the meantime he had two sick kids to take care of and staff members to worry about. Let the DPA do their job and he could do his.
He pulled his smart phone from his pocket and took a picture of Jack's spots and then Ben's. "Wait here."
Alison jumped as he flung the door open. "What on earth's going on?" She matched his steps as he strode down the corridor to Reception. "Don't you think you can get away with speaking to me like that. I want to know what you think is wrong." He watched her as subconsciously her hands went to her stomach. This day was just about to get a whole lot worse.
"Did you touch them?"
"What?" She wrinkled her nose.
"The spots. Did you touch the children's spots?"
She must have read the fear he was trying to hide behind his eyes. "I think I did." She looked as if she might burst into tears. Then realization dawned. "I think I had gloves on." Her voice grew more determined. "No, I'm sure I had gloves on."
"And when you took them off, did you touch any other part of your skin?"
Her face crumpled. "I don't think so. But I can't be sure."
His hands landed on her shoulders and he steered her into the nearest free room. He knocked the water on with his elbows and pulled the hand scrub over, opening up a scrub brush for her. "Scrub as if you were going to Theatre and don't stop until I tell you."
She looked pale, as if she might keel over. But her reactions were automatic, pumping the scrub, covering her hands, wrists and forehands and moving them methodically under the running water.
He watched the clock. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. Four.
He nodded. "You can stop now."
"Do you know what it is?" She was drying her hands now.
"I think I do. I'm just praying that I'm wrong. Come with me."
They reached the desk. Miriam had her back to them and was chatting loudly on the phone.
Sawyer leaned across the desk and cut the call.
She spun around. "What are you doing?"
"We're closed."
"What?" Several heads in the surrounding area turned.
"You don't have any authority—"
"I do. Get me Dr. Simpson, the chief of staff, on the phone." He turned to face the rest of the staff. "Listen up, folks. As of now, we have a public health emergency. The department needs to close—right now." He pointed at Miriam. "Let Dispatch know not to send us any more patients."
He turned to one of the security staff. "Lock the front doors."
The noise level around him rose.
He put his hand on Alison's arm, pulling her to one side. "I'm sorry, honey, but that isn't chicken pox. I think it's smallpox. And we need to contact the DPA."
Callie Turner stowed her bag in her locker and nodded at a few of her colleagues getting changed. She glanced in the mirror and straightened her skirt, taking a deep breath as she gave herself a nervous smile and pulled at her new haircut—an asymmetric blonde bob.
It was meant to signify a new start—a new beginning for her. It had looked fabulous in the salon yesterday, expertly teased and styled. Today it just looked as if she was halfway through a haircut. This would take a bit of getting used to.
First day at the DPA.
Well, not really. An internship and then a three-year specialist residency training program completed within the DPA. All to be part of the Disease Prevention Agency. Eleven years in total of blood, sweat and lots of tears.
All to fulfil someone else's dreams. All to pay homage to someone else's destiny. Today was the first day of the rest of her life.
She pushed open the door to the telephone hub. "Hi, Maisey."
The short curly-haired woman looked up. "Woo-hoo! Well, look who picked the lucky bag on her first day on the job." She rolled her eyes at Callie. "Go on, then. Who did you upset?"
Callie laughed and pulled out the chair next to Maisey. "No one that I know of. This was just my first shift on the rota." She looked around. "It's kind of empty in here. Where is everyone?"
Maisey gave her a sympathetic glance. "You should have been here two hours ago. They're assembling a team next door. We've got a suspected outbreak of ebola."
Callie's eyes widened. First day on the job and she was assigned to the phones. The crazy calls. While next door the disease detectives were preparing to investigate an outbreak. She bit her lip. "Who took the call?"
Maisey smiled again. "Donovan."
Callie sighed. Typical. The person who took the call usually got to assemble and lead the team. Donovan had a knack of being in the right place at the right time.
Unlike her.
She stared at the wall ahead of her. Someone had stuck a sign up: "Normal People Don't Phone the DPA."
Never a truer word was said. The phone next to her started ringing. She bent forward and automatically picked it up. It would be a long day.
Four hours later she'd spoken to three health officials, crazy bat lady—who phoned every day—two over-anxious school teachers, five members of the public, and two teenagers who'd obviously been dared by their friends to ring up. Right now all she could think about was a large cappuccino and a banana and toffee muffin.
Her stomach grumbled loudly as she lifted the phone when it rang again. "DPA, Callie Turner, can I help you?"
"This is Matt Sawyer at Chicago General. I've got two kids with suspected smallpox."
She sat up instantly as her brain scrambled to make sense of the words. All thoughts of the muffin vanishing instantly. This had to be a joke. But the voice didn't sound like that of a teenager, it sounded like an adult.
"Well, aren't you going to say anything?" He sounded angry. Patience obviously wasn't his strong point.
She took a deep breath. "Smallpox has been eradicated. It's no longer a naturally occurring disease, Mr. Sawyer."
"Listen, honey, you can call me Doctor. Dr. Matt Sawyer. Ringing any bells yet?"
She frowned. Matt Sawyer? The name seemed familiar. Who was he? And why was he speaking to her like that? She put her hand over the receiver and hissed at Maisey. "Hey, who's Matt Sawyer?"
Maisey's eyes widened instantly, the disbelief on her face obvious. She skidded her wheeled chair across the room next to Callie.
"You're joking, right?"
Callie shook her head and pointed to the phone.
Maisey bent forward and pulled the phone away from her ear, replacing it with her mouth. "Outbreak, dead pregnant wife, disappeared off the map."
The pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place and become vaguely familiar. Of course. She had heard of this guy. In fact, everyone in the DPA had heard of this guy. He was like a dark, looming legend. But it had been way before her time.
Her training and natural instincts kicked in. There was a protocol for this. She pushed her chair under the desk and pulled up a screen on her computer. "Hi, Dr. Sawyer. Let's go through this."
The algorithm had appeared in front of her, telling her exactly what questions to ask, why and when. She started to take some notes.
"You said you're at Chicago General. Whereabouts in the hospital are you?"
She could almost hear him sigh. "The ER."
"What are the symptoms?"
"Two kids, returned from Somalia a few days ago. Ages six and seven. Very sick. Febrile, uniform red spots mainly on their faces, forearms, palms and soles. A few on their trunks. Low blood pressure, tachycardic, swollen glands."
She was typing furiously. Somalia. The last known place to have a natural outbreak of smallpox. It did seem coincidental.
But there were a whole host of other diseases this could be. She started to speak. "Dr. Sawyer, have you considered chicken pox, herpes, scabies, impetigo—"
"Stop it."
"I know you're reading from the list. I've considered all those things. It's none of them. Check your emails." He sounded exasperated with her.
"What do you mean?"
"Lady, do I have to tell you everything twice? Check your emails. I just sent you some photos. Have you ever seen spots like that?"
She clicked out of the algorithm and into her emails. Sure enough, there it was. Everyone in the DPA had a generic email address starting with their full name. He was obviously familiar enough with the system to know that. There was no message. She opened the attached photos. Wow.

In The Maverick Doctor and Miss Prim by Scarlet Wilson, we begin with Dr. Matt Sawyer covering his friend's job while he is going through some personal stuff. Sawyer wants to finish his shift at the hospital and go home already. He likes saving lives, but he is tired of the red tape and angry at the world because of it. Unfortunately when he thinks he is almost free to go home he goes to check on two boys who are suspected to have chickenpox, only after he checks them he believes it could be smallpox, an outbreak that is seriously contagious and dangerous to everyone that has been in contact with the patients.
When Callie Turner answers the phone at DPA with a call about a suspected case of smallpox she thinks it may be a common prank until she finds out who is on the other end of the line. Now with a team being lead by a team member who was present on the last case of smallpox they are on their way to try to contain and find out if it really is or if it's something similar. Only on the way to Chicago hospital the team leader has a health issue and has to be taken to a hospital himself and now Callie will take charge of the case all by herself.
At first Callie doesn't know what to expect when she meets Sawyer, she hears all kind of different stories from when he was at DPA. What she doesn't expect is the immediate chemistry and attraction she has towards him, but she knows that will hard time keeping him.
Sawyer has been living in the shadows of his anger and pain since the death of his wife six years ago, when he was at DPA with her. He has had sexual partners, but none that took and kept his attention the way that "By the Book" Callie does. She is the total opposite of him in that way, but instead of letting her flounder and suffer, for some reason he can't help coming to her rescue each and every time she needs it.
Now Callie and Sawyer will be in very close contact for the next few weeks while they confirm and then treat and eradicate the virus that came with the boys and that may have transferred to other people close by. And no matter how much they don't want to act on their feelings, being in close quarters will make things difficult for them both. But they have to first open up about what happened in their pasts in order for them to find the peace and will to move forward and into something new.
This was a great read, The Maverick Doctor and Miss Prim is the first book in this duet by Scarlet Wilson and I can tell you that if you like a good Medical Romance, you can't miss these two books. (Bk #2 About Last Night by Scarlet Wilson)

'Music to wake the living' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Consuelo Roland
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on October 31, 2012
This week, Undercover Soundtrack day falls on Halloween – shiveringly close to Mexico's El dia de los Muertos. And my guest has more than risen to the occasion with her award-winning literary novel The Good Cemetery Guide. It centres on a guitar-playing mortician's son and she built his life and loved ones from reggae, Texan ballads, traditional Mexican music, Phil Collins and Robbie Williams. You'll grin like a ghoul when you see what she took from Meatloaf. She is essayist, poet and novelist Consuelo Roland and she's on the Red Blog, sharing her Undercover Soundtrack.

Super Power Island
Poptropica Wiki
|Catch me if you can!
Super Power island
|Year released
|Preceded by
|24 Carrot Island
|Succeeded by
|Spy Island
Super Power Island is the 5th island on Poptropica featuring villains mutated by a meteor. They now have super powers and are wrecking havoc on the city, and it's your job to stop them before it's too late!
When a meteor crashed into the side of County Prison, 6 super-powered Villains escape and wreck havoc all over the island. You are the island's new superhero since the old one is retired. So, you must stop them to save Poptropica.
Hero in the Making
Arrive on Super Power Island. Go to "Masks & Capes" and talk to the guy. He will give you a Super Hero ID. Then, go across the water on the left to get to the prison. Talk to the prison warden and he will give you the Super Villain Profiles. Next, talk to the lady, and she will give you Anti-Power Handcuffs.
Double Trouble
- Main article: Copy Cat
Head to the right to Down Town and enter the bank. Go to the left and you will find Copy Cat, a villain. She will break up into ten copies and drop a canister of tear gas, ensuring that you'll stay inside for a short amount of time. Catch all her copies and the last one will be the real Copy Cat.
Faster then a Speeding Spike . . .
- Main article: Speeding Spike
Speeding Spike is in the Subway Station. Enter the train, and you will see him. The goal is to lure him to the wet spot in the first carriage, where he will slip. Jump over his speedy attacks repeatedly until he slips in the puddle and gets a concussion. Put the handcuffs on him.
Mind Games
- Main article: Sir Rebral
Sir Rebral is in the City Park. First, he will make rocks fly towards you. Jump towards him so that the rocks hit him. Then go to the right and find the large loose rock. Push it under him. A piece of the ground will pop up and the rock will hit him. Then click on him to put the handcuffs on.
Ratman Bites Back
- Main article: Ratman
Go to the park, and go into the men's or women's bathroom. Go down the sewer. Pull the red wheels until you can enter the door to the left. You will see Ratman and his rats. Jump up to the right, avoiding the rats, and pull the red wheel. Water will splash him, knocking him out and scaring his rats away. Then, while avoiding the flies, get to him. Now you are able to put the handcuffs on.
Brains vs. Brawn
- Main article: Crusher
The Fight in Flight
- Main article: Betty Jetty
Now, go to the telephone booth near the masks and capes store. It is ringing. Answer it, and you will get the ability to fly! Then, go to the top of the skyscraper near the bank to defeat the final villain, Betty Jetty. When you get to the top, she will fly away. Follow her. Avoid her green energy spheres and get close enough to knock her out. Then, she will fall down to the skyscraper. She will not give up, but then Ned Noodlehead runs in and knocks her out. Then, put the handcuffs on her.
Ned Noodlehead a Hero?
The police chief gives the medallion to Ned Noodlehead. Go to the man in the park, and get a Hot Dog. Go back to the comic shop , and trade the hot dog for the Island Medallion. Congrats! You have now completed Super Power Island!
|"What are your thoughts about this?":
Feel free to leave a review about this article in this section. You may add your Poptropica username, or your wiki username. Feel free leave constructive critiques, but do not harass the subject of this page.
- Giant Storm: This island was overall easy. The hard parts were defeating Ratman, Crusher, and Betty Jetty.
- Golden Bug: The plot's a little silly- I did the whole island in a PIRATE costume! I'd give this island a 6 out of 10.
- Fearless Tornado: Great island considering you can fly, but a little challenging when it comes to Betty Jetty. 8 out of 10.
- Shaky Noodle: When i first played this, i was watching Thinknoodles or someone else, it took some time to complete it though, 7 out of 10.
- Pikachu4807/Super Hawk: This was a little tricky when I first played this, but it's still a great island. 8 out of 10.
- Shaky Noodle: This island was very easy for me, 8 out of 10.
- Squeezy Paw: Really cool island,9 out of 10.
- Silver Bird: Cool Island
- Angry Horse: This island was fairly easy with some hard parts took me a while to defeat some villians but in the end I rate it a 7/10
- Giant Bubbles: The island was unusual, but for the super heroes, it was AWESOME!!! 9 out of 10. Rainbow Dash1 (talk) 15:45, May 29, 2014 (UTC)
- It is the first island to have more than one main antagonist.
- The flying girl on the poster on Main Street wearing a costume similar to that of Superman may be a reference to Supergirl, the DC comic character.
Multiplayer Room
The multiplayer room on Super Power Island is the daily paper which has the theme of a newspaper press.
- Stupid Jumper Glitch: At the end of the island, if you have flying power, stand on the ledge below Speeding Spike, Sir Rebral and Copy Cat. Talking to Crusher, Ratman or Betty Jetty will cause you to fly onto the ledge next to these foul villains and be stuck jumping. Unlike the Spy Island bad jumper glitch, however, you can exit this by flying.
- Revenge of the Supervillians Glitch: Normally, when someone is talking, you can press S and they'll stop talking. However, when you've captured a super-villain and the guy at the prison is thanking you, or when Ratman says "You've found me, well let's see how you like my little friends!" you cannot do this.
- Angry Flyer Glitch: Pressing Ctrl, Shift, and 3 together make you do the "angry" emotion where your head turns red. However, if you have flying turned on and you fly when your face is red, your face will be red until you land. (See "Angry Smile Glitch" for Generic)

NKU Artist-In-Residence to Debut "Hate Crimes in the Heartland" at the Freedom Center February 24th
By Matt Kelley
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center will be hosting the Cincinnati premier of "Hate Crimes in the Heartland" produced by Emmy award winning filmmaker and NKU artist-in-residence Rachel Lyon on February 24th. WNKU's Matt Kelley asked Dr. Lyon how two events separated by ninety years tells the story of race relations in America.

The United States has captured a suspect in the 2012 attack on a facility in Benghazi that killed four Americans -- including a U.S. ambassador -- and spawned a number of investigations and accusations, officials said Tuesday.
In an operation that took months of planning, U.S. troops and law enforcement personnel detained Ahmed Abu Khatallah on Sunday after a secret raid in Libya, officials said.
Khatallah is now 'in U.S. custody in a secure location outside of Libya,' said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby. He added that 'there were no civilian casualties related to this operation, and all U.S. personnel involved in the operation have safely departed Libya.'
President Obama, who authorized the raid, said at a town hall-type event in Pittsburgh that Khatallah is being transported back to the United States.
'When Americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice,' Obama said.
Officials said Khatallah will be tried in a U.S. court. Last year, the U.S. filed charges against Khatallah and a number of others in a sealed complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
Khatallah, who has denied participation in the Benghazi attacks, has been hiding in plain sight for months. He has given interviews to various media outlets, including CNN and The New York Times.
PROFILE: Who is Ahmed Abu Khatallah
'I am a Libyan citizen and the American government has nothing to do with me,' he once told the Associated Press. 'I am in my city, having a normal life and have no troubles and if they have an inquiry to make, they should get in touch with Libyan authorities.'
Asked why it took so long to capture Khatallah, Pentagon spokesman Kirby said that suspects do try to avoid capture, and that this operation required intensive planning. Kirby said the U.S. notified the Libya government before taking action, but he didn't say when.
'This was a unilateral United States mission,' Kirby said.
The Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012, has inspired an array of investigations, including an ongoing inquiry by a special House committee.
House Republicans have accused the Obama administration of failing to adequately protect the U.S. facility in Benghazi. Obama and aides have accused the GOP of politicizing the tragedy.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, congratulated law enforcement on Khatallah's capture and said, 'I expect the administration to give our military professionals time to properly gather any useful intelligence he has.'
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who has conducted Benghazi hearings as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called the arrest 'long overdue.' Issa said the administration is obligated to share any information it obtains from Khatallah with the new select committee headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.
A criminal complaint filed in Washington accused Khatallah of 'killing a person in the course of an attack on a federal facility involving the use of a firearm and dangerous weapon.' It also charged him with 'providing, attempting and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists resulting in death' at Benghazi.
Khatallah, a senior leader of the Benghazi branch of the terror group Ansar al-Sharia in Libya, is the first person taken into custody in connection with the 2012 assault that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, State Department official Sean Smith and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Khatallah faces pending criminal charges, and 'we retain the option of adding additional charges in the coming days.'
Holder also vowed to identify and arrest additional alleged co-conspirators. 'This is our pledge,' he said. 'We owe the victims of the Benghazi attack and their loved ones nothing less.'
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration has vowed to track down all the Benghazi perpetrators. This capture 'is not the end of that effort,' but 'it marks an important milestone,' he said.
In a written statement on the operation, Obama said 'the United States has once again demonstrated that we will do whatever it takes to see that justice is done when people harm Americans. We will continue our efforts to bring to justice those who were responsible for the Benghazi attacks.'
The operation was first reported Tuesday by Fox News and The Washington Post.
U.S. officials tell the Post that Khatallah was captured near Benghazi by American troops working alongside the FBI following months of planning.

After his screamer at Middlesbrough yesterday, Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce says there's no way they'll consider selling Charles N'Zogbia.
He told the Shields Gazette: "Charles N'Zogbia scored an absolutely wonderful goal and it deserved to help win any game of football.
"It was his wrong foot, and it was a terrific goal for the boy. He's got real quality.
"He has a body language that doesn't appear too happy on a day-to-day basis, but he gets on with Geremi really well now and that's helped him. He's a father figure to him.
"There'll be no chance of him leaving our football club, that's for sure."
