The Wrong Right
"Of course, health care is a right," my young friend said with a disdainful twist of her face and a shudder that seemed to shake off the unthinkable. "You are a doctor," she added, reminding me of what I had done for thirty years. " Surely you agree that health care is a basic human right."
"Not really," I said with a casual shrug. She blinked long as if doing so would allow her to hear me say something different. "Rights are intrinsic to the person. You know, the right to do as I want as long as I don't hurt someone. But health care, if it is a right, involves requiring someone to do something for me. And by definition, that makes the person rendering the care a slave to the person with the right to that care."
She shuttered again.
I was riding in the back of a pickup truck through the streets of Port au Prince with a group that was half emergency physicians and half graduate students in development. It made for some very interesting and kinetic discussions, the theoreticians versus the pragmatists. And here we were in the middle of one of the most medically deprived populations in the western hemisphere asking the simple question, 'How can you really help people in need?'
"It's simple social justice," my PhD student stated with confidence. "People have the right to access to health care."
"Let's take that statement apart, if you don't mind," I said, trying my best, unsuccessfully, not to be pedantic. "Justice is required when someone has done something wrong to another person. The 'scales', so to speak, are out of balance. If someone takes something from me, they have to give it back, or give me something in return to try to 'make me whole'. And the justice system is charged with doing that task. If through my negligence or greed I take someone's health from them, of course, I owe them whatever it takes to make them whole. But just by my very existence as a physician, I haven't taken something from a sick person. By my advantaged position I may have a moral obligation to help people who can't pay. In fact, that is part of the oath that I took when I became a physician. But to say that I have an obligation is not the same as saying that the other person has a right."
"But your profession was provided to you with the benefit of government grants and loans. So doesn't it make sense that they have the right to enforce your obligation to the poor?"
"First, I didn't go to medical school on government loans. I worked nights and weekends in the blood bank." I didn't add the haughty 'I'll have you know,' that I was thinking.
"And even if I had, it would have been a loan that I repaid. So how does that make me indebted to the government?"
"The very fact that you came from a home that had advantages makes you indebted to society. You had parents that made you study and helped you succeed. Some people, typically the poor, don't have those advantages. Is it right that you should have things that they don't? And in the case of Haiti, isn't it true that they are poor and disadvantaged largely due to the history of American imperialism, embargoes, and racism? So isn't it simple social justice that Americans should be providing health care for the poor of Haiti?" It was clear that she meant this argument to extend to the poor in general.
"That's an interesting argument that you make," I said, trying to be open minded about something that I had settled long ago in my own mind. "It is true that I had many advantages, but they were largely due to the decisions and sacrifices that my parents made.
But they didn't come at the expense of someone else. Life is not a zero sum game. My benefits are not always at the expense of someone else. And it is true that America has not always acted in the best interest of the Haitian people. But it is the obligation of the American government, or any government for that matter, to act for the benefit of their own people. That doesn't justify some of the racist policies of America's past, but it does explain some of the trade policies. So while I agree that the American government does owe it to the world to do justice and right the wrongs that it can, I'm not sure that that debt extends to me personally."
"The government owes to the poor and disadvantaged the right of access to health care, wouldn't you agree?" It was clear that she cared deeply for the poor and this made perfect sense that a benevolent government would provide for its weaker members. But what I heard was 'access', the buzzword that is used throughout the health care debate in America. It was the picture of a doorway to health that someone was blocking. But I could see that the 'access' debate was an attempt to shape an argument through defining the terms in such a way that no reasonable defense was tenable.
"You are right," I conceded, "that no one should be denied access to health care. There should be no one preventing someone, anyone, from obtaining health care. You might be surprised to know," I said, drifting into my professorial tone, "that it is illegal in the US for an emergency physician to ask about a patient's ability to pay before providing emergency care. So I agree that it would be immoral and unjust to refuse to care for someone until they had proven that they had the means to pay. But that does not mean that they are relieved of the responsibility to pay. Nor does it give them the right through the government to tax me to pay myself for that service."
"You're such a Republican," she said with disgust before she could censor herself. She blushed at revealing her anger with me. I was older, after all, and the leader of the group. It was a conversation stopper, though.
Later she came to me privately. "I'm sorry I called you a Republican," she said with sincere humility.
"You're right, you know," I said, chuckling. "But I never considered it an epithet. Don't worry," I reassured her, "we're on the same side. We both want to make this situation right. We just haven't settled on the right way to do it yet."
# Be Careful What You Read — 2012-03-14 02:58
As the PhD student quoted in this article, I would like to clarify that this article does not accurately represent our private conversation or my views on the issue. Much of what is written here, is not something that we discussed.
# My Apology For Any Misrepresentati on — 2012-03-14 05:35
My deepest apologies to my friend, "the PhD student" referred to in my last installment of Nightshift, "The Wrong Right". The column was the result of a week long dialog with an incredibly intelligent and interesting student, and several others as well, that was condensed down from memory to a 1200 word space. I apologize to her publicly if I misrepresented her views. This and many other topics were discussed at length. I gladly admit that I learned more than I taught. I did not intend to demean her or her views in any way. If I did so, I apologize to all involved. The purpose of the column was to provoke a dialog on the topic of health care as a human right. See the discussion in Letters to the Editor in print. To that end, the column has accomplished its purpose. I pray that all will forgive any literary license that I took with the facts to stimulate that conversation.
# No Apologies Necessary — 2012-03-14 11:03
No need to apologize, Dr. Plaster. What you experienced was a microcosm of the conflict that arises when one who lives by the motto "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" encounters one who lives by the motto "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Don't forget that this conflict defined the foreign policy of two superpowers for much of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the foxes are now in the henhouse courtesy of various and sundry PhD factories.
# Re: The Wrong Right — 2012-03-14 13:52
The problem with Health Care as a "Right" is that everyone is very willing to define it as a right, but no one is willing to discuss the RESPONSIBILITIE S that go along with that right. We all have the right to vote in this country, and the attendant responsibilitie s are to pay taxes and perform jury duty. How about a discussion of the attendant responsibilitie s that go along with the "right" of health care? Talk about that, then only silence is heard in the "Access to health care debate". Why? I suggest it is due to mostly economic reasons and the fact that no one wants to ask difficult substantive questions because it may make individuals look bad politically! The reality is that patients are held to no standards of action or behavior, therefore the ilk of Press Ganey and MedMal Lawyers can flourish like weeds by placing the onus to perform on the part of the health care delivery system alone, fertilized by the opportunities to exploit human shortcomings for economic gain. All the while, the only consistent outcome of doing things this way is an increase in the costs of health care in this country.
# Your argument doesn't make sense — 2012-03-14 19:43
To argue that everyone should have access, and we as EPs should be required to provide that service, with no thought of compensation is arguing against yourself. Why shouldn't we expect society to collectively pay for a service they already receive? Why shouldn't we get compensated for every patient we see? Why shouldn't we as a society pay for preventative care and primary care that is FAR less expensive than the emergency care we provide for those without REAL access to healthcare? You're old school mentality of doctor as capitalist is unfair to patient and doctor alike in an age of EMTALA, JHACO and a myriad of chronic diseases that are treatable.
# Health care is a basic human right — 2012-03-15 00:35
When I graduated in 1968, I swore a solemn oath, perhaps a bit quaint and dated, but an oath that I would dedicate my life to my profession, my colleagues, and my patients. In my interpretation of that which I swore to, was an obligation to my patient, but not a privilege for myself.
I have endeavored to adhere to this concept of obligation throughout my long career. Certainly, if am obligated to provide a service, that service becomes the right of every patient presenting to me.
For my profession, I would point out that whenever Physicians cease respecting our obligation, and instead insist on a privilege, we will inevitably loose our self respect and the respect of our community.

I think the dr. Misses the whole point....and is assuming the dr. Is the only one in the equation for " health care". He is making this argument about him, and it's not about him or any other dr. It's about civilized society that organizes in such a way as to care for it's citizens. We have a right to use the roads, drive on the highways, go to public schools, use the libraries , go to and enjoynthe national parks, but people like him want to end it there and deny the public the right to tax supported hospitals and other health care access points u less they can pay some exorbitant predetermined amount. This prehistoric and self serving attitude is contributing to the rise of the cheaper nurse practioner and physician assistant.....I MHO....we actually may get to a point where we don't even need a doctor anymore, here in FL the PAs are opening their own clinics cash pay for the people who are uninsured lots cheaper than a dr or having insurance. But if you subscribe to this guys opinion that health care is not a " right" in our country ( rights being only those things that we establish on a national level for our citizens) then what you are really saying is that poor people who can not pay for their health care should be allowed by this dr. to die . Unless the good dr agrees to a charity case here or there...oh wait he's off giving charitynto the Haitian citizens...I guess the patient just has to die....there are ways to organize this thing so we can be a civilized society and provide basic health care to our citizens...and for those dinosaurs who don't like it well maybe they can move somewhere where the wealthy can pay for their health care and the poor can wait for volunteers, maybe somewhere like Haiti. I don't sound pedantic.
# 2012-03-15 05:07
I meant, I hope I don't sound pedantic. Or sarcastic for that matter. The comment above about people being responsible is well taken....which is what the affordable health care act does...tries to make people responsible for obtaining health insurance.
# Thank you for the thoughts — 2012-03-15 09:23
Dear Phd Student and Dr. Plaster: Thank you for taking time to pose the question of health care access and for looking at how it affects both the patient and the physician. Do you think current health care reform moves closer or further away from what either of you would regard as the "best plan" for addressing concerns relating to this issue?
# Respect — 2012-03-15 09:42
Dr. Plaster: I respect your integrity in your response to the Phd student's post. I was impressed by the maturity of this leadership.
# 2012-03-16 07:53
The article is brilliant and made me re-consider all sides in the question about health care in the United States ...and if it is a right. The issue can be debated ad nauseum but we, as a nation, decided this a few years ago.
In 1986 when Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor act (EMTALA), with no provision for compensation, we effectively decided that all people who live in the country have the right to an appropriate medical screening examination and stablization.
So, officially, there is a right to this limited form of health care in the United States. Beyond that, leagally speaking, there is no right per se.
# What did your vow REALLY say? — 2012-03-16 14:50
To Dr Plaster and other posters,
What oath exactly did you take? The Classical Hippocratic Oath does not obligate a physician to treat any and all.
Dr. Plaster, was the oath you took a variation on the Hippocratic one? The Classical Oath does NOT say anything about an obligation to treat regardless of payment, and only prescribes behavior between a physician and patient that have (implied) already entered into a voluntary association.
It is your own choice if anyone took an oath to treat without pay, but let's not confuse that with the original; as a profession, we have blurred the lines for decades and given lip service to something not even in the original oath, which in turn has been used by patients, hospital administrators, insurance companies, the media, and even ourselves to bludgeon us into de facto servitude if and when society deems it.
I enjoyed your well-written, very pointed article, but question this one assertion.
# Other rights have duties — 2012-03-18 05:30
To play devil's advocate, we have rights to a trial by jury, which requires citizens to serve on juries; the right to a lawyer requires, well, lawyers
# @Ted Switzer — 2012-03-18 07:50
Show me any hospital ED contract in the country that requires in writing (not even practice) only a MSE and stabilization. I can show you examples of Hospitals sued for providing stabization and then "discharging" patients to the street. EMTALA is only part of the picture, along with JHACO malpractice and hospital contracts we do have legal, moral and contractual responsibility to provide medical care to everyone who comes in our door. Read this week's Time Magazine article from Fareed Zakaria entitled Health Insurance is for Everyone for a more eloquent argument than I can put to keyboard.
# 2012-03-24 02:40
I spend my life defending Dr's, nurses and hospitals from Medical Malpractice lawsuits. I think many who are arguing in favor of universal health care here are completely missing the point. In his speech to congress on health care, President Obama stated that the biggest driver of our national debt and deficit was rising health care costs. He argued that the status quo would drive us towards disaster. So, what did the President and those brilliant democrats do? Did they craft a law that would truly "bend the cost of health care down"? You remember, the President claimed that his new law would insure 30-40 million more americans and at the same time LOWER the cost of health care. They had the bill scored by the CBO and voila, it proved that this bill was a miracle. It insured millions more and lowered the debt and deficit. WOW! But, how was this actually achieved? The CBO scroed the 10 year cost of the bill under the constraints it operates under. They are duty bound to accept the numbers given to them by congress. So interesting things happened. The CBO took the revenues of 10 years, but only scored the cost of 6 years of the new law. (a nifty little trick, don't you think?) Also, the Dems took $500 Billion dollars from Medicare and said they were using that to reduce the deficit. But wait, they were also using the same $500 Billion to pay for the new law? (I happen to have $50K sitting in the bank right now for next years tuition for my daughter. After I pay her tuition for the year, I am going to use that same $50K to buy that new Lexus I would love to drive. Neat trick, huh)
This entire debate is a DISGRACE! Had the President been HONEST and sold universal health care as a moral imperative that we would all have to chip in to afford, I would have supported his efforts. He could have gotten up before congress and argued that this was the right thing to do, but it will be expensive. Therefore, we are ALL going to have to pay a bit more in taxes to afford this. But no, they created this mandate which is in all likelihood unconstitutiona l.
So, guess what happened not too long after the bill was passed in regards to its ability to bend the cost of health care down?
I represent some of the largest "safety net" hospitals in the country. These institutions do an amazing job providing health care to poor and underserved communities. Guess what? These same institutions are ALREADY being crushed by the regulatory and compliance costs of the PPACA.
In NY, where I practice, these safety net hospitals are almost 100% dependant on Medicare and Medicaid funding. In NY, The Gov just cut $2.8 Billion dollars from the Medicaid budget. Prior to the passage of the ACA, Gov Patterson and Mayor Bloomberg came out against the new law stating that it would add $1 to $1.5 BILLION in Medicaid costs to NY State.
For those here who support this new law and ACCESS to health care for all. PLEASE, PLEASE explain to me how a state that just had to cut $2.8 Billion from its Medicaid budget is going to pay for the added costs attendant to this new law?
We will never solve our deficit and debt problems until and unless we confront health care costs head on. Medicare/Medica id costs are exploding, and will only get worse as the population ages. Congress' heavy handed attempts to control costs by limiting doctor's payouts will not work, as many doctors are already refusing to see new Medicare patients. As a liberal Obama had a unique opportunity to fix this liberal program gone wild. He did not rise to this challenge. Instead the PPACA does nothing to control costs and simply adds another bureaucratic and costly entitlement on top of those we already can't afford. The deficit commission really ducked this one. The PPACA must be repealed and Medicare/Medica id block funded to the states, or we will never control our debt, even if every dime is simply confiscated from the rich.
# 2012-03-24 02:43
I realize my post was long, but I am passionate about this subject and deal with the pernicious effects of this new law on a daily basis.
I realized I was being critical without offering any alternatives to the new law; because I think we all agree that the status quo is unacceptable.
There are ways to insure more people and to bring costs down. Government has established and nurtured a system in which most patients are distantly connected to payment for services. This encourages them to spend without regard to expense. A lack of self-rationing increases demand, which drives up costs. Real progress, however, can be made in states where lawmakers have heaped very expensive mandates on health insurance policies.
In a few states, there are mandates that require policies to include benefits for Oriental medicine. Others require plans to cover hair prostheses. All but four states mandate that insurance cover alcoholism treatment while the majority of states require the same for drug abuse. A benefit for smoking cessation is mandated in six states while port-wine stain elimination is required in two.
In 12 states, insurance policies must include access to acupuncturists. Three states say plans must provide for athletic trainers, and dozens make insurance pay for a variety of marriage, occupational and massage therapists, pastoral counselors and social workers. Four states even require that insurers provide for naturopaths.
There are thousands of mandates at the state level. Most of the mandates cover common benefits or providers, many of the mandates are highly suspect. Few of these are costly by themselves; most increase the price of premiums by less than 1%. But when added together in a plan, insurance coverage becomes considerably higher.
When I was meeting with my clients that run the not for profit hospitals I represent, there were experts who came to us and lectured and demonstrated that getting rid of many of these mandates could lower the cost of premiums by 50%! The mandates are an insult to common sense. A single man does not need an insurance package that covers in vitro fertilization, maternity leave, a midwife, breast reduction or mammogram's. Neither is it necessary for a childless, unmarried woman to have a plan that includes care for a newborn and screening for prostate cancer.
And a teetotaler should have the option of choosing a plan that doesn't have benefits for alcohol and substance abuse.
In many cases, however, they have to pay for such coverage, either through individual policies or employer-provid ed plans. State legislators could restore good sense to the law and provide a genuine measure of reform by backing off the mandates and letting people buy from an a la carte menu of benefits and providers.
Why should health insurance not be sold across state lines? This lowers the cost for car insurance, why wouldn't it lower the cost for health insurance. This suggestion has been opposed by the democrats. Why?
Also, the costs of medical malpractice is hard to calculate. But, I can tell you from personal experience that Dr's and hospitals routinely order tests and prescribe medications as part of the practice of "defensive medicine". There must be Tort reform that makes sense. I am not advocating caps on damages. People who are injured through the fault of Dr's have a right to compensation without caps. But, I propose taking the cases out of the hands of juries. There should be specialized medical malpractice courts just as there are immigration and tax courts.
These are just some possible ways to lower health care costs and provide access to more individuals.
# Let's take care of the basics — 2012-03-25 13:06
Before we argue about whether health care is a basic right shouldn't we take care of some other injustices first. I was downtown recently and i actually saw people living on the streets and under over-passes. Shouldn't housing be a right? Everyone should get a nice home from the government.
And what about food? Health care means nothing if you are starving. Everyone should get unlimited groceries and access to restaurants paid by the government.
Clothes? Is not that a basic human need that everyone has a right to? Clothes should be provided for free.
Transportation. Without a reliable car going to work or to the welfare office or to the doctor or to McDonald's becomes nearly impossible. Clearly, owning an automobile is a fundamental right that should be provided by government.
Contraception? Well,...I guess that's been argued enough already.
Remember in order to give something to somebody that they have not earned you must first take it from somebody that has worked for it. (or something like that)
This argument is not about basic human rights, its about giving free 'stuff' to people who have not earned it - therefore alleviating them of any need to work for it, and hence any desire to work for it.

Secret Life of the American Teenager
Francia Raisa Says Her First Love Was Just Like Ricky!
Run, don't walk, to your nearest news stand and pick up a copy of Francia Raisa's American Cheerleader Magazine cover! Girlfriend looks smokin' hot per uszh, and dishes on her love life on and off screen! Check out some highlights from her interview:
On falling in love for the first time: "Oh, you mean the first time I thought I fell in love? Oh, God. Ugh. In high school I thought I was in love with this one guy who broke my heart really bad. I just remember crying a lot, because he didn't really love me. He told me he did, but he'd never make me his girlfriend, but I was always someone he was seeing. And then the next thing I knew, he'd have another girlfriend and I was like, 'Wait!' And then I'd have to wait for them to break up…
"It was very similar [to Adrian and Ricky's relationship]. He always had me around, but never took it to the next level..."
On going through a breakup: "My sister said something really smart to me recently. She follows He's Just Not That Into You like no one's business. She said, 'If he wants to be with you, oh, he will be with you. Wouldn't you rather be a guy's priority and not an option?' So, that's my advice. If he doesn't want to be with you, you can't force him."
On Badrian's turn for the worse: "When [creator] Brenda [Hampton] told me and I was like, 'Wait, what? Really? Really?' I was surprised and it took some time getting used to, but I really like where they're going with the storyline now."
On finding the right guy: "Still waiting. My friend went on a date the other day and I was saying, 'I don't think a guy's ever asked me out on a date.' A guy hasn't picked me up and made plans to take me out. If I date a guy, we just hang out either at my place or his. But an actual date where I get ready? I've never had that."

Exclusive Resource: Character Modeling Sheets – Krystal
Hello and Welcome to Citizen Exclusive Resource Pack of Character Modeling Sheets!
In this Exclusive Resource pack we are bundling up Krystal in two detailed, clean turnaround character modeling sheets done by Tim Von Rueden. The first is a blank canvas leaving her nude, to show her proportions and is ready for use as a reference or as a base for your characters. The second is an example of the bare turnaround sheet with her original outfit on. In the source files are a .PSD and . JPEG of the turnaround modeling sheets. The .PSD versions come in layers and is set at a very high resolution for you to zoom in and check out the details and line work.
Why are turnarounds so important?
In concept art,
Character modeling sheets take out any fancy lighting, poses, angles, and leaves you with just the character and their outfit. This helps push the strength of the designs and overall appeal. You are really able to create a believable, functional wardrobe. Even if the charactert is mythical, it still has to feel like it works together.
For this particular character, she is a runaway in a grand forest type setting. Since she is always on the move I gave her lightweight articles of clothing with a focus on her boots being a central point of detail. A forest's floor can be unforgiving so some thick, protective boots were needed. Her hair is messy from the constant mix of the wind blowing through it and the sweat that has built up. She also has a few double edged combat knifes so the holsters were placed on her in position for easy access, such as on her hip. The rest are details that were added to give some more interest to the character.
For modeling,
During the modeling process, character turnarounds are nearly unparalleled in their usefulness. Character modeling sheets can drastically speed up the modeling process and give you a higher quality, more accurate model as nearly all of the design decisions have already been made by the concept artist, leaving you to focus exclusively on the modeling.
If you would like to learn how to create modeling sheets on your own…
Below are are two tutorials teaching you how to do so in both the Gimp and Photoshop software,

Cold food. That's pretty much all that has been on my mind this past week. While July is a great time of the year in the Northeast for buying and eating fresh fruit, trying to turn those fruits into any sort of baked goods is another story. Really, just the mere thought of turning on the stove or oven makes me break out into a sweat.
(Like many New Yorkers, I don't have central AC and my one wonky unit is only able to cool down the apartment after sundown, i.e. after 8:30pm.)
So for my meals lately, I've had to been creative with cooking things that don't actually involve cooking, if you define cooking as something that involves the application of heat. But there is great fruit dessert you can make for which the only hot thing needed is the hot water that comes out of your tap.
The last time I posted a dessert on this blog might be over a year an a half ago, so this is long overdue. This is a dessert that comes straight out of my cookbook and one that I've taught many times in dim sum classes over the years.
While Chinese cuisines aren't known for desserts, there are a few gems, mostly originating in Cantonese cooking. In the 1950s and 1960s, when Hong Kong's agricultural industry was just taking off, the island territory was importing a lot of evaporated milk as a stable dairy source, along with other canned products. In later years, as Hong Kong quickly modernized, canned products went from necessities to nostalgic cultural mainstays. Even today, with such a wide variety of homegrown food and rare imported products available, Hong Kongers still love their Spam, Horlicks, and Ovaltine.
My favorite dessert that comes out of this HK love affair with canned products is mango pudding. It's cold, creamy, yet very light, with the intense flavor and aroma of super ripe mangoes. Think of it as a Chinese panna cotta. These days, many places in HK and the US alike get creative and use other tropical fruits, such as passionfruit pudding, lychee pudding, and even durian pudding (tolerable for up to two bites). But mango is still the classic go-to flavor.Read More

Range Rover Evoque Sport could be introduced next year - report
Could have revised styling and upgraded engines
If you weren't thrilled about the Victoria Beckham-inspired Range Rover Evoque Special Edition, perhaps the upcoming Evoque Sport will do the trick.
According to recent reports, the model could be introduced late next year and feature an aggressive body kit, beefier brakes and a sport-tuned suspension that reduces the ride height by 10mm. Speculation also suggests we can expect larger alloy wheels and an improved steering system for sharper handling.
Engine options remain unconfirmed, but the model could be powered by an upgraded turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol as well as a revised 2.2-liter SD4 diesel with approximately 210 hp (157 kW / 213 PS).

Not necessary to have a V6. BMW 528 is great and fast with a 4 cylinder. They need to tune the existing engine a bit to 300 hp.
May 4, 2012 10:15 am
I couldn't agree more Alux, If It has the engine of the XJ SuperSport I would have bought at the spot
May 4, 2012 5:43 am
Han Solo
Nice..but it needs more power than a 4 Cylinder Turbo...maybe a Twin Turbo V6 would do the trick...
May 4, 2012 3:13 am
It needs the V6 petrol and diesel from Jaguar. Plenty of people love the Evoque, but want it to be much faster than it is.
May 3, 2012 2:43 pm
Aye, the new Jag Supercharged V6 would be a sweet deal for this baby. I wonder if 3rd party engineers could do it and make the weight distribution and handling right.

How will I know?
Choices for birth
Natural therapies and Inductions
Pain relief
It is a thought many of us never dare to whisper, a thought that may have crossed your mind, preoccupied it or never entered it. For some it is a nagging fear, tinged with guilt for having negative feelings. For others it is an issue best avoided, territory feared to visit. The shock of discovering that your baby is no longer breathing, moving, alive within is devastating beyond words.
"Why does this happen?" is the unrelenting question. When a baby dies during pregnancy, there are often known medical reasons, placental problems, high blood pressure, diabetes or an abnormality of the baby. Sometimes however, the causes are unknown, leaving parents bewildered wondering what went so horribly wrong or "How could this happen to me?"
Usually caregivers also search for answers, going over every medical detail meticulously. Looking for causes, some being found, some just speculation, others finding no answers. About 8 babies in every 1000 pregnancies over 20 weeks will die in Australia each year. Some of these will die before labour and birth. The medical terms for this are intrauterine death (IUD) or death in utero (DIU).
If you have just discovered that your unborn baby is no longer alive, we extend to you our heartfelt sympathy. We understand that your journey from here will not be easy. If you are wondering about how you will deal with the actual birth of your baby you may also wish to read stillborn baby or death of a newborn.
Some women notice that their baby has become very quiet and has not moved for a while. Others experience an intuitive sense of danger, or death. Some women have a sense of something 'being not quite right', and are then told by their caregiver at a check up that there 'may be a problem'.

Lamentably, only 30 percent of students who begin their studies at a community college go on to complete a degree within two years. up2U provides not only an incentive for students to complete a degree but also targeted academic interventions to support learning.
Further, today's employers are looking for employees who can think critically, solve problems and communicate effectively. up2U supports students in developing and mastering these skills, considered essential for access to and success in the workplace.
High school students who wish to participate in up2U and receive a university transfer tuition reduction must:
* Only new students enrolling at M State are eligible to participate in up2U. Current or transfer students are not eligible for the program.
up2U motivates students to complete a two-year degree, transfer to university and earn a university degree within four years. To encourage student persistence, the program offers significant tuition savings at the transfer university. The amount of university tuition savings is based on the student's two-year college cumulative GPA and his or her score on the CLA+.

In preparation for National Volunteer Week in April, Volunteer Starkville and the Maroon Volunteer Center are holding a supply drive for Recovery House in Columbus and for 360 Degree Mind, Body and Soul.
"We're collecting necessities, but not necessarily the kinds that everyone thinks about," Meggan Franks, program coordinator at the office for Student Leadership and Community Engagement, said. "Not just food and water, but shampoo, towels and sheets, and things like that."
Recovery House is a non-profit organization that provides shelter and substance abuse treatment for women. In addition to addiction treatment, they offer therapy, life skills training, an education program, and job opportunities.
"We depend a lot on community support and donations we receive through the community," Cori Hanson, an administrative assistant for the Recovery House said.
The Recovery House is asking for cleaning and household supplies, pens, Tylenol and Ibuprophen, white towels and washcloths, white bed sheets for single beds and canned soups and vegetables. They would also appreciate any items for women.
360 Degrees Mind, Body, and Soul, a new local non-profit organization, recognized a need for homeless shelters in the Starkville area. They hope to open one for men and another for women and children.
"After many recent unexpected disasters that have caused some of our community members to be without housing," Robyn Conerly from 360 said, "it was impressed upon our hearts to help out some of the local organizations and churches that have been putting the homeless and transient population in temporary shelters such as hotels."
Ideally, they would like to have the shelters up and running by this summer, when the heat becomes dangerous for those without shelter. They don't yet have the funds for supplies or a building, but hope Volunteer Starkville's drive will help get them started.
"Having the Volunteer Starkville organization participate in a supply drive for our organization means the world to us," Conerly said. "We often hear that it takes a village to raise a child and it does. But it also takes a village to come together on one accord to meet the needs of the community and fight issues such as homelessness."
They will gladly accept donations of any kind, but would appreciate hygiene products and non-perishible foods.
The drive will start Friday and continue until Tuesday, April 12. Volunteer Starkville will have collection boxes set up at several locations around town and on campus. Locations include: the Greater Starkville Development Project office, the Starkville Daily News office, the Maroon Volunteer Center located on the third floor of South Hall, the Welcome Center located next to Barnes & Noble, and the MBAA Lounge located on the second floor of McCool Hall.
"Anything that they feel is beneficial, go ahead and donate it," Franks said. "We're really not turning down anything.If it's something that neither organization can really use, we'll find a somewhere that can take it."
National Volunteer Week is an annual event that inspires communities to work together to give back. It will run from April 10th through the 16th. This year, Volunteer Starkville and the Maroon Volunteer Center will be offering several volunteer opportunities during the week including helping out at the Palmer Home Thrift store and a clean up in the Cotton District in preparation for the arts festival.
"The goal for the week is five days, 500 hours of service and I am sure we could probably collect 500 lbs. worth of items," Elizabeth Du Bois, Chief Coordinator for Volunteer Starkville said.
For more information about service opportunities and National Volunteer Week, contact Volunteer Starkville at (662) 546-0484 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The work: Training grassroots organizations worldwide and building their digital capacity through highly interactive TechCamp meetings.
The impact: The events have empowered nongovernmental organizations to adopt technological approaches to issues related to the environment, disaster response, economic opportunity and democracy.
The nuts and bolts: Dickover organized and executed five TechCamps and generated outside funding for most of them. The events have led to innovative solutions, and the TechCamp in Chisinau, Moldova, in particular prompted the World Bank's open-government team to recommend that countries start with a TechCamp to generate interest before launching an open-government initiative.

IF KING KONG is one of your role models, put down that banana and buy a plane ticket to Atlanta. A new virtual-reality system at Zoo Atlanta gives humans the chance to be gorillas. Visitors wear a virtual-reality headset that transforms them into an adolescent member of a group of gorillas living in a replica of the zoo's gorilla habitat.
The adult male and female gorillas respond to the behaviour of the juvenile human gorilla. "If you get too close or too frisky the adult male won't like it," says Larry Hodges, a computer scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who helped to design the system. "If you don't back off he might start beating his chest." But if the adolescent is sufficiently meek, he may be rewarded with a grooming session by the adult female.
Terry Maple, director of the zoo and an expert in gorilla behaviour, says ...

Title 40: Protection of Environment
§260.31 Standards and criteria for variances from classification as a solid waste.
Link to an amendment published at 80 FR 1771, January 13, 2015.
(a) The Administrator may grant requests for a variance from classifying as a solid waste those materials that are accumulated speculatively without sufficient amounts being recycled if the applicant demonstrates that sufficient amounts of the material will be recycled or transferred for recycling in the following year. If a variance is granted, it is valid only for the following year, but can be renewed, on an annual basis, by filing a new application. The Administrator's decision will be based on the following criteria:
(1) The manner in which the material is expected to be recycled, when the material is expected to be recycled, and whether this expected disposition is likely to occur (for example, because of past practice, market factors, the nature of the material, or contractual arrangements for recycling);
(2) The reason that the applicant has accumulated the material for one or more years without recycling 75 percent of the volume accumulated at the beginning of the year;
(3) The quantity of material already accumulated and the quantity expected to be generated and accumulated before the material is recycled;
(4) The extent to which the material is handled to minimize loss;
(5) Other relevant factors.
(b) The Administrator may grant requests for a variance from classifying as a solid waste those materials that are reclaimed and then reused as feedstock within the original production process in which the materials were generated if the reclamation operation is an essential part of the production process. This determination will be based on the following criteria:
(1) How economically viable the production process would be if it were to use virgin materials, rather than reclaimed materials;
(2) The extent to which the material is handled before reclamation to minimize loss;
(3) The time periods between generating the material and its reclamation, and between reclamation and return to the original primary production process;
(4) The location of the reclamation operation in relation to the production process;
(5) Whether the reclaimed material is used for the purpose for which it was originally produced when it is returned to the original process, and whether it is returned to the process in substantially its original form;
(6) Whether the person who generates the material also reclaims it;
(7) Other relevant factors.
(c) The Regional Administrator may grant requests for a variance from classifying as a solid waste those materials that have been reclaimed but must be reclaimed further before recovery is completed if, after initial reclamation, the resulting material is commodity-like (even though it is not yet a commercial product, and has to be reclaimed further). This determination will be based on the following factors:
(1) The degree of processing the material has undergone and the degree of further processing that is required;
(2) The value of the material after it has been reclaimed;
(3) The degree to which the reclaimed material is like an analogous raw material;
(4) The extent to which an end market for the reclaimed material is guaranteed;
(5) The extent to which the reclaimed material is handled to minimize loss;
(6) Other relevant factors.
[50 FR 662, Jan. 4, 1985, as amended at 59 FR 48041, Sept. 19, 1994; 71 FR 16902, Apr. 4, 2006]

Distribution of CVPD is primarily in tropical and subtropical Asia. It has been reported in all citrus-growing regions in Asia except Japan. The disease has affected crops in China, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, the Ryukyu Islands, Nepal, Réunion, Mauritius, and Afghanistan. Areas outside Asia have also reported the disease: Saudi Arabia, Brazil and, since 1998, Florida in the U.S..
This disease is distinguished by the common symptoms of yellowing of the veins and adjacent tissues; followed by yellowing or mottling of the entire leaf; followed by premature defoliation, dieback of twigs, decay of feeder rootlets and lateral roots, and decline in vigor; and followed by, ultimately, the death of the entire plant. Affected trees have stunted growth, bear multiple off-season flowers (most of which fall off), and produce small, irregularly-shaped fruit with a thick, pale peel that remains green at the bottom. Fruit from these trees tastes bitter.

The long-suffering residents of Harare have expressed dismay at the failure by the local authority to provide them with clean water.
All the suburbs in the city had no water over the weekend after the Harare City Council shut down supplies, citing leakages on the transmission mains from Morton Jaffray to Warren Control Pump Station.
Council spokesperson Leslie Gwindi indicated that services had been restored to most areas by Monday afternoon, although he could not disclose which suburbs were yet to be connected.
He said he does not give interviews to radio stations.
While welcoming the restoration of services to some areas, representatives of Harare residents said they are not holding their breaths regarding consistent water supply. They accused the council of lacking a clear strategy of addressing the city's perennial water problems.
Simbarashe Moyo, chairman of the Combined Harare Residents Association, said he was deeply concerned about the inconsistent and inefficient manner in which the local authority was handling water provision.
He also criticised the council's poor communication, saying residents are not notified in time about impending disconnections to enable them to prepare.
"We only get to know we have been disconnected when we no longer have water," he said.
Moyo said this was placing a huge burden on residents, particularly on women who have to endure walking long distances and standing in long queues in search of water. Some of them often resort to fetching water from unprotected sources.
"This is a health hazard for residents. We talk about outbreaks of diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid, but these a result of the challenges that we are facing, which are that the service provider is failing to provide adequate water to rate payers," Moyo said.
In 2012, at least five people were confirmed to have died from typhoid in Harare's Glen View suburb. In 2010, more than 4,000 people died following a countrywide cholera outbreak. Both health crises were blamed on a lack of clean water and the collapse of Zimbabwe's sanitation system.
Harare Residents' Trust director Precious Shumba expressed similar concerns, adding that the recurrent problems show that the council does not have any long-term strategy of addressing the water crisis in Harare.
Shumba also revealed that some residents, particularly in the northern suburbs, who have at times gone for more than a month without water, have been shocked to receive huge bills even for periods when they had no supplies.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Luke Ridnour had 19 points and five rebounds, and Greg Stiemsma got the rout started with six straight points to end the third quarter in a 90-75 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Stiemsma finished with 12 points and five rebounds, and Derrick Williams added 14 points and six boards for the Timberwolves, who are 3-1 for the first time since 2001. They led an ugly game by three points early in the third period before going on a staggering 28-6 surge that blew open the game. J.J. Redick had 16 points, but the Magic shot just 35 percent and turned the ball over 20 times to lose their second straight game. Arron Afflalo added 12 points for Orlando. Without injured stars Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love, the Wolves were hoping to stay afloat thanks to a soft opening to the schedule, and they couldn't have asked for much better than this. They began the season with a sluggish win over Sacramento, dropped a game in Toronto and then surprised the Brooklyn N...

As I was working on Princess of the Midnight Ball, I mentioned to several people that I couldn't imagine anything worse than dancing all night until
your shoes wore out. Then it occurred to me that dancing in glass slippers might possible be just as bad: would the glass bend? What if the slippers shattered,
and cut your feet? And I had a sudden image of a young girl trying desperately to hold still while someone molded liquid glass onto her feet with glassblowing tools.
I had never meant to do another fairy tale retelling, and certainly not Cinderella, which has been beautifully retold a number of times. But that image of the
blown glass slippers would not leave my head, and then there was the idea that my twelve princesses would never want to dance again . . . so what if
they had to? Or at least one of them, anyway. While I was writing Midnight Ball, I also had a devil of a time keeping some of the middle princesses
straight, except for Poppy. Any time I needed someone to say something snarky, Poppy came forward to volunteer, and so I leaped at the chance to give her a book
of her very own.
This book is also my little homage to Regency romances, set in my own version of early 19th century England!

The story of an indigenous family in west-central Brazil which now uses clean, economical and green cook stoves provided through a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) project is among 12 winners of an annual storytelling competition and featured in the second edition of a newspaper presented today by the agency.
"As in last year's issue, these stories highlight UNDP's critical work on poverty reduction, democratic governance, crisis prevention and recovery, and the environment and sustainable development," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark in a letter to readers. "They remind us that people are and always will be the centre of UNDP's work."
The content for the latest edition of The Development Advocate was selected by an international jury based on the 120 submissions from 66 UNDP Country Offices and regional programmes.
This year's winning selections - Brazil's Eco-stoves empower indigenous women; Bangladesh's Empowering women to fight poverty and China's Farmers plant a seed for a chemical-free future - topped a list of stories by entrants hailing from a wide geographic range, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Egypt, the occupied Palestinian territories, Sudan, Mongolia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Colombia.
"The common thread running through these stories is the change and benefits we bring to the lives of some of the poorest and most vulnerable individuals around the world," said Ms. Clark.
The publication was unveiled today at the first regular session of the UNDP Executive Board, held at UN Headquarters in New York.

Some random thoughts from the perspective of one of the 7 billion earth inhabitants….I reserve the right to change my view if/when I learn more about any given topic.
Julie Devereaux on:
Brent Musburger - you give anyone an open mic and sooner or later they're gonna say something that can be construed as stupid…and I speak from experience.
Lance Armstrong - first of all, I think it's pretty amazing that certain additives can enable the human body to be faster, stronger and have more stamina and not kill you…and where can I get some! (kidding….sort of). I read his book "It's Not About the Bike" many years ago and was rightfully inspired. "Dopey" or not, I still think he's an amazing athlete. I wish he could have been strong enough to tell the truth sooner. And he has done some really, really good things in his life. I think we've all, at one time or another, been less than honest and we all have to live with the consequences. Thank goodness for forgiveness and people who see beyond our shortcomings.
Elin & Tiger - well, I COULD say "a tiger doesn't change his stripes"…and there was a time when I would've said "oh hell no! do not go back into the tiger's den"…and I've heard people much wiser than I say "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"….and "you teach people how to treat you"….but I don't know all the intricacies of their relationship nor should I. I have my own relationships to navigate, thank you very much. But wouldn't it be nice to be told the truth because for me, it's not so much the "cheating" as the lies that are told to hide the activity. Tell the truth and let me decide if I want to be in relationship with someone who wants to be intimate with others.

Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 12:10PM
The video features Crews strapped to a makeshift drum kit, surrounded cymbals, saxophones and a keyboard.
He plays a song by moving his muscles, which are attached to a set of pads on his pecks, arms and abdomen that are hooked up to the instruments.
The video then turns into an interactive experience in which consumers can control Crews' muscles and the sounds he produces through their own keyboard, and then record their own version of the song for Danger Zone.
Consumers can watch the video and create their own here.
The video was created through a collaboration between Wieden & Kennedy Portland, video platform Vimeo, director Tom Kuntz, Mackenzie Cutler and production company The Mill.
Vimeo has built a custom experience and a creation tool for Old Spice that can be embedded into all of the brand's social media channels.
Several variations, which can be seen on the Old Spice Muscle Music channel, have been recorded and uploaded by consumers.
Crews' work as part of Old Spice's advertising includes the campaign for Odor Blocker, which started in 2010.Follow @loullamae_es

Texas boxer becomes first black world heavyweight champion
On this day in 1910, Galveston native Jack Johnson was recognized as the heavyweight champion of the world. He had won the Negro heavyweight championship in 1903. The reigning white champion, Jim Jeffries, refused to cross the color line, so Johnson had to wait until Jeffries came out of retirement to fight him in 1910. Johnson left the United States in 1913 to avoid arrest on charges of violation of the Mann Act. When he returned on July 20, 1920, he was arrested and jailed at Leavenworth. After his release he returned to boxing, but without success. He died in an automobile crash at Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1946.

It's on the brain...bad market but happy home.
There are many parallels to His plan that have come to mind when I have thought about the happenings in the market. Maren said in her prayer this morning, "Please help us to not fall off the road". I don't know where she got that but I thought what she prayed for was perfect. I hope that my children know that there is no easy bailout but if they do fall off they can put the plan into action and get right back on that road. I also hope the picture below is how my children will feel as they go through all of the stages of life. I hope they soar high. Maybe all of the problems on Wall street would be solved if they wore a tie like Bridger Baby:-)
On a lighter note one of my favorite designers is even considering the downturn. Read here.

Very well put. It is amazing to me how complacent we had been in our strong economy. I don't think we have been preparing ourselves for the "what if" that is happening right now, and we have been caught off guard. It is hard for me not to just stress out over things I have no control over instead of concentrating on my little piece of the world that I can control. I hope your friends and co workers get through this all right!

Silly Tina! No credit needed. Bridgy Baby is so jolly in that photo, he makes it awesome.
Drew and I have been keeping up with the market news. Holy moly we're in the midst of some shaky and unpredictable times. The scripture, "If you are prepared ye shall not fear" keeps running through my head. The gospel is so awesome. Even in the middle of crazy stuff the Lord still gives peace.

Emergency crews contain chemical leak at Citgo refinery
March 7, 2012
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Emergency crews responded to a chemical leak at a Citgo refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, Monday evening, KRISTV.com reported.
At about 8:00 p.m., chemical sensors detected a leak from an alkylation unit, which is used in the production of gasoline.
The sensors activated a sprinkler system that created a "water curtain" around the release, preventing any chemicals from escaping.
Firefighters were called in to perform air monitoring, but picked up no traces of chemicals outside the refiner.
The malfunctioning alkylation unit is the same unit that leaked hydroflouric acid back in July of 2009, causing a large fire at the plant, the article stated.

Borderlands 2 gets more fresh and tasty content this fall
2K Games announced Monday plans to release additional downloadable content for its hit action role playing game Borderlands 2. The new content will be released for all platforms including OS X this fall.
Borderlands 2 - developed and published for the Mac by Aspyr Media - has been an enormous hit since its release. The game puts players in the role of Vault Hunters - futuristic bounty hunters on the frontier world of Pandora - as they look for loot and weapons, fighting all foes including massive bosses.
2K recently completed a "Season Pass" of Borderlands 2 that provided players with four downloadable content packs at a reduced cost. Now that the Season Pass is done, 2K Games says more content is in the works.
Improvements planned for Borderlands 2 include a second level cap increase from 61 to 72, more boss battles and new head and skin sets. Each new DLC pack will incorporate a new quest that ends in a boss fight; victorious players are rewarded with a loot drop and unlockable head and skin sets.
