The invention is in the field of medical treatments generally and patient vascular access systems. The present invention relates to embodiments of a method and a system for detecting blood leakage during extracorporeal blood treatment or other medical procedure.
The maxim of "first, do no harm," may be a good summary of the Hippocratic oath required of doctors and practiced by medical professionals. Nowhere is this principle required more than in modern medicine. With patients living longer, there are more extended treatments and more frail patients than ever. Such patients are in danger from complications that can arise from continuing therapeutic procedures, and even from diagnostic procedures, that are necessary for their continued care. Treatments involving extra-corporeal blood treatment are clear examples.
The most obvious danger is infection, but the harm caused by infection can be overcome by not re-using even supposedly-sterile devices and by diligent attention by the patient himself or herself, and by care givers attending to the patient. Other dangers also arise, but, like infections, have been difficult to eradicate. One of these dangers arises in blood treatment procedures in which the blood of a patient is physically removed from the patient for treatment, and then returned, all in the same procedure. Removal and return of blood is practiced in hemodialysis, for those persons whose kidneys do not function well. Other procedures, such as apheresis, involve removing blood from a patient or a donor to separate blood platelets or plasma from the red blood cells and then returning the red blood cells to the patient or donor, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,427,695 and 6,071,421.
The extracorporeal medical treatments described above require that the blood be removed for treatment and then returned. This requires access to the patient's vascular system, from which blood is removed and to which blood is then returned. If a "batch" treatment is used, that is, a quantity of blood is withdrawn, treated and returned, only a single needle is used. Each batch of such treatment is typically short, and the treatment is attended by a medical professional at a clinic or hospital. A variation on the batch treatment is a "batch" continuous method in which only a single needle is used. There are distinct withdraw and return phases in a batch continuous process. During the draw phase, blood is processed and additional blood is sent to a holding container to be processed during the return phase. In the return phase, blood is processed from the holding container and then returned to the patient or donor through the single needle. Other treatments are continuous, such as the platelet separation discussed above, or dialysis treatment, and may require a duration of several hours or even overnight.
Continuous treatments require two needles, or access points, one for withdrawal of blood and one for return. The withdrawal site is normally an artery or an arteriovenous fistula/graft, and a needle and a pump are used to provide the blood to the therapeutic machine. It is relatively simple to detect a problem with withdrawal, for instance, if the withdrawal needle is dislodged, using conventional air sensor technology. Detecting a problem in the return of the blood to the patient is more difficult. The return line typically includes a needle with venous access. If the return line is dislodged, the blood is not returned to the patient's vascular system, but may continue to be pumped and may accumulate near the patient. Depending on the pumping rate of the blood and the time for treatment, this could have life-threatening effects on the patient within a very short period of time.
Accordingly, a number of apparatuses have been devised for detecting needle dislodgement, especially venous needle dislodgement. An example is U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. 2006/0130591. In a device according to this application, a venous needle is equipped with a photosensor and is covered with an opaque patch. This device would not send a signal or an alarm if the needle begins leaking or is only slightly dislodged. For example, the photosensor could still fail to detect light because the needle has not been dislodged sufficiently to expose the photosensor to light. In addition, this method requires ambient light and would thus not be suitable for patients that cover their arm with a blanket or who perform nocturnal dialysis while sleeping in a dark bedroom.
Numerous other techniques have been devised, many of them depending on a flow of blood causing conductivity between two electrodes or two wires. What is needed is a better way of quickly detecting dislodgement of a venous or other needle from a patient, so that inadvertent loss of blood and harm to the patient is avoided.
One embodiment is a method of detecting blood leakage. The method includes steps of providing a glucose detector, mounting the detector adjacent an extracorporeal blood processing access site, taking a baseline reading from the detector on the access site on a patient, processing the baseline reading and determining a baseline, monitoring the detector for indications of blood leakage, and sending a signal if blood is detected.
Another embodiment is a method for detecting blood leakage at an access site. The method includes steps of providing a glucose detector, mounting the glucose detector near an access site on a patient, taking a baseline electrical reading of the access site with the glucose detector, processing the baseline reading and saving data of the baseline reading, monitoring the access site during a therapy procedure by taking additional electrical readings, and sending a signal if a reading indicative of a blood leak is detected.
Another embodiment is an access disconnect detector. The access disconnect detector includes a fuel cell having an anode and a cathode, a communications circuit connected to the fuel cell, optionally, a battery connected to at least one of the fuel cell and the communications circuit, and a mount suitable for mounting the fuel cell, the communications circuit, and the battery near an access site of a patient, wherein the fuel cell is configured for receiving blood leaking from the access site, causing oxidation of glucose in the blood, and causing the communications circuit to send a signal.
Another embodiment is an access disconnect detector. The access disconnect detector includes a glucose detector having an anode and a cathode, the anode comprising an anode electrolysis layer suitable for oxidation of glucose and the cathode comprising a cathode electrolysis layer. The detector also includes a communications circuit connected to the glucose detector, optionally, a battery connected to the glucose detector and the communications circuit, and a mount suitable for mounting the glucose detector, the communications circuit, and the battery near an access site of a patient, wherein the glucose detector is configured for receiving blood leaking from the access site, causing oxidation of glucose in the blood, thus generating electrical power and causing the communications circuit to send a signal.
Additional features and advantages are described herein, and will be apparent from, the following Detailed Description and the figures.
Embodiments of the present invention are able to detect the presence of blood using the glucose in blood by means of an electrochemical detector. The presence of glucose alerts the patient or a caregiver of a blood leak at the access site. The electrochemical detector is a fuel cell, sometimes used for detecting and measuring a concentration of glucose in blood.
The details of the electrochemistry used in the detector are disclosed in the prior art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,156, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,239. These patents disclose an electrochemical device that uses an oxidation/reduction reaction to oxidize glucose. In some embodiments, a simultaneous reaction also takes place with the reduction of oxygen in the blood to generate electricity. If instead the detector is powered with a battery, a periodic pulse or interrogation may be used to probe the detector. If blood is present, the pulse causes oxidation of the glucose with simultaneous reduction of a mediator present in the cell. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,156 (the '156 patent, which is hereby incorporated by reference as though each page and figure were set forth herein), the mediator provided is a ferrocyanine or K3Fe(CN)6. In a fuel cell intended for continuous generation of electricity, the cell may use the anode to oxidize glucose and the cathode to reduce oxygen, which is also present in the blood, and in the atmosphere surrounding the patient's access site. Such a cell is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,239 (the '239 patent, which is also incorporated by reference, as though each page and figure were set forth herein).
Glucose, a sugar, is a product of digestion of many foods and forms a natural part of the bloodstream, glucose normally being present in blood in a concentration from about 81 mg/dl to about 140 mg/dl. Persons with diabetes find it hard to control this concentration and must periodically correct their blood sugar by consuming sugar-containing drinks, such as orange juice, or by injecting insulin. Because of this medical problem, the technology for the detection and measurement of glucose in blood is highly advanced. The electrochemical cells discussed above are very small and lightweight, and may be used to detect blood, as well as to measure the concentration of species within the blood.
The '239 patent mentioned above contains a very detailed description of the chemical species required for continuous use as a fuel cell. The cell includes an anode and a cathode. Since this is in essence both a continuous and a biological fuel cell, the usual easy removal of reduced species (metal at the cathode) and oxidized species (gases at the anode) do not apply. Hence, the anode and cathode are provided with an electrolysis layer that allows for the mass transport of the species to and from the electrodes. Each electrolysis layer includes an enzyme and a redox polymer. Thus the anode electrolysis layer includes an anode enzyme and an anode redox polymer. The cathode electrolysis layer include a cathode enzyme and a cathode redox polymer.
Oxidation takes place at the anode, and the anode electrolysis layer facilitates the transport of glucose and the products of oxidation of glucose. Reduction takes place at the cathode, and the cathode electrolysis layer facilitates the transport of a species that are reduced, such as oxygen in hemoglobin and blood. Of course, in simpler embodiments, the cathode electrolysis layer may simply include a cathode and a reagent or species to be reduced at the cathode, and the anode electrolysis layer may simply include an anode species to be oxidized at the anode. An external electrical circuit transports electrons from the anode to the cathode.
In more complicated fuel cells, such as those described in the '239 patent, the electrolysis layer includes electrolysis redox polymers. The range of the redox potential for the anode redox polymer may be from about −0.65V to about +0.05V versus a standard calomel electrode. The anode redox polymer has a redox potential of at least 0.1 V positive of the redox potential of the anode enzyme. Useful anode redox polymers include [(dmo)2OsCl]+/2+, [(ter)2OsCl2]0/+, and [(trimetOsCl2]0/+, coupled to either poly(1-vinyl imidazole) (PVI) or poly(acrylic acid), or a copolymer of 4-vinyl pyridine or 1-vinyl imidazole. In these formulae, dmo is 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine, ter is 2,2′,2″-terpyridine, and trimet is 4,4′,4″-trimethyl-2,2′,2″-terpyridine.
The range of the redox potential for the cathode redox polymer is from about +0.3 V to about +0.7 V versus a standard calomel electrode. A known cathode redox polymer is [(ter)(bpy)Os]2+/3+, coupled to poly(1-vinyl imidazole) or poly(4-vinyl pyridine). In this formula, bpy is 2,2′-bypyidine, and ter is 2,2′,2″-terpyridine. Many other redox polymers are known. For example, a series of enzyme-type electrodes are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,262,035 (the '035 patent), which is hereby incorporated by reference as though each figure and page were physically set forth herein. These are primarily transition metal complexes, including derivatives of Os-(bpy)2, pyridine complexes, and other metallocenes. One other known cathode redox polymer is Nafion� from DuPont. These may also be used in glucose monitors or glucose fuel cells used to detect the presence of blood.
Anode enzymes may include glucose oxidase, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) glucose dehydrogenase, galactose oxidase, pyrroloquinoline quinone fructose dehydrogenase, quinohemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase, pyranose oxidase, oligosaccharide dehydrogenase, and lactate oxidase. Other enzymes may be used. Cathode enzymes may include peroxidase, tyrosinase, horseradish peroxidase, soybean peroxidase, laccases, and cytochrome C peroxidases.
For redox polymers, the preferred redox species is a transition metal compound or complex. The preferred transition metal compounds or complexes include osmium, ruthenium, iron, and cobalt compounds or complexes. In the preferred complexes, the transition metal is coordinatively bound to one or more ligands and covalently bound to at least one other ligand. The ligands are often mono-, di-, tri-, or tetradentate. The most preferred ligands are heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, such as, for example, pyridine and/or imidazole derivatives. For example, the multidentate ligands typically include multiple pyridine and/or imidazole rings. Alternatively, polymer-bound metallocene derivatives, such as, for example, ferrocene, can be used. An example of this type of redox polymer is poly(vinylferrocene) or a derivative of poly(vinylferrocene) functionalized to increase swelling of the redox polymer in water. Experimental work on the above materials, studying the oxidation of glucose, revealed voltages and current densities ranging up to 1100 μamps/cm2 at about 0.4 volts. See '035 patent, cols. 9-11. This demonstrates useful and detectable amperages at reasonable voltages.
An embodiment of an electrochemical sensor for use at an access site is depicted in
The wireless transmitter is small and compact, and is easily placed on the patient at the access site and connected to the electrochemical sensor. One module with good capabilities is a wireless module in accord with ZigBee/IEEE 805.15.4. This is a standard for a very low power radio system with a very limited range, about 10-20 feet. Modules made in accordance with this standard may be purchased from Maxstream, Inc., Lindon, Utah, U.S.A., Helicomm, Inc., Carlsbad, Calif., U.S.A., and ANT, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. The module is very small, and may be about 2 cm square (about 1 inch square), and about 3 mm thick (⅛ inch). The transmitter may be used to communicate with the therapy machine or with a separate receiver or controller dedicated to monitoring the sensor.
The circuit used with the sensor may take on many forms. It may not be necessary to use a battery, since the sensor generates energy rather than uses energy. This embodiment would allow for a reduced size and cost of the device, as well as increased comfort for the patient using this device near his or her access site. However, with a power supply, it is easier to monitor the "health" of the sensor. For example, by taking periodic readings of the normally quiescent voltage and amperage of the sensor. Without a power supply, it may be difficult to know whether the sensor is broken rather than simply in a state in which blood has not been detected, and therefore glucose is not available to power the detector. Accordingly, the detector may be equipped with a battery as shown, but it is not strictly necessary for operation of the detector.
As noted above, the sensor is actually a fuel cell, creating electricity by reacting glucose and other materials and producing electrochemical reactions. Accordingly, it should be possible to sample the cell for the voltage difference across the anode and cathode, and also to sample the current produced by the cell. These voltage and current measurements are used by glucose meters to determine the concentration of glucose in a person's blood. In the present application of the glucose fuel cell, such accuracy is not needed, but can be used to determine the presence and the extent of the leak or blood that is present. Accordingly, the detector circuit can include an ammeter 18 and a voltmeter 22. It will be recognized that these circuits, including control circuit 20, will desirably be placed on a semiconductor chip, as part of an integrated circuit, to make them very small. In this manner, the sensor and the detector will both be very small and as unobtrusive as possible to the patient.
An example of a glucose powered sensor is depicted in
Sensors with this configuration may be made very small, having an area of a few square millimeters, with the aperture being about 3 millimeters diameter. Blood enters the sensor as shown by arrow A, and is wicked into the sensor through the graphite web 35. The blood contacts reagent pellet 34, the pellet including glucose oxidase and potassium hexacyanoferrate. The net reaction is that glucose, catalyzed by the glucose oxidase enzyme, reacts with the potassium hexacyanoferrate. At the anode, the glucose+glucose oxidase is oxidized, generating electrons, i.e., a current, while at the cathode, potassium hexacyanoferrate is reduced, thus completing the circuit. This current is measured by an external circuit, that can also monitor the voltage of the circuit. The chemical potential of the glucose is thus used to power the sensor and generate a measureable current.
The more complicated examples given above, with enzymes and electrolysis layers, may also be used. Examples of fuel cells/sensors with these circuits are depicted in
Embodiments include methods of using the electrochemical sensor. In one method, depicted in
The sensors may be used, as mentioned, with a therapy machine, such as a hemodialysis machine.
Control circuitry that receives a signal from the electrochemical sensor and its transmitter is depicted in
It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present subject matter and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.

During World War 1, recruitment marches or snowball marches to Sydney were a feature of volunteer recruiting drives for the Australian Imperial Force in rural New South Wales, Australia. Between October 1915 and February 1916, nine marches were held starting from various points in the state; the most notable was the first march from Gilgandra, known as the Cooee march. There was also a similar march in south-eastern Queensland. In 1918, in an effort to promote recruitment, another march was staged, but this was less spontaneous and the marchers in fact travelled by train. The marches were called "snowball marches" in the hope that like a snowball rolling down a hill will pick up more snow, gaining more mass and surface area, and picking up even more snow as it rolls along, the marchers would also collect more marchers as they progressed to the recruiting depot.

"I loved this invitation! Once they arrived, i sent them out immediately and everyone loved them. The quality is sturdy and the picture came out great. There was only one color option but i wanted blue. I only wish we could pick the letter colors, because the yellow wasnt in my party theme. I will definitely be ordering from here now on!"
"My little guy is turning 5 and wanted cards that weren't theme-specific and these fit the bill. They are of great quality card stock, very glossy and shipped quickly. I think they were here within 5 days. I absolutely loved the design so much that we ordered matching return labels. Tiny Prints is by far my favorite online printing company. They have not failed me with anything."
"We were looking for some race car invites for our son's 2nd birthday. All of the ones we looked at (online) were bulky and too busy. We were so happy when we found this one because it goes with the theme but also is simple, easy to read, and a perfect size to place on the fridge. Colors are calming and the card stock is wonderful. I also like how you can add a photo to the back of the invite."
"I ordered this card for my son's first birthday and it was exactly what I wanted. The card quality and printing were excellent! It was easy to design with all the information I needed to provide along with adding the personal touch of a picture. I feel this card was a bargain for the quality it is! I also received my order earlier than the estimated delivery date which was just icing on the cake ;)!"

Vanderburgh sheriff duputies sworn in
EVANSVILLE - The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office's five newest deputies were sworn in during a Monday ceremony at the Centre.
Among them was Allison Lancaster, who becomes the fourth female deputy with the office, according to chief deputy Dave Wedding. The other new deputies are Griffin Bush, Jeff Hatfield, Jason Matlock and Zach Whicker. All five of the new deputies previously worked as confinement officers with the sheriff's office. They will start field training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield, Ind., later this month.
Wedding said the short ceremony allows the newest members to celebrate their accomplishments in a tangible way. Though it's been a tradition for many years, there was no such thing when Wedding was sworn in almost 30 years ago.
"It's a day of celebration for everybody here. It…s an exciting day," he said. "I know back in 1983 when I was hired we didn…t have this ceremony — you just went down to the clerk…s office, raised your right hand and went back to work."
Officials marked the recent retirements of Cpl. Clint Fussner and deputy Mike Hertweck Sr. — both of whom have more than two decades of experience. Deputies Kyle Alexander and Mark Harrison also received awards for completing field training.
Two special awards were handed out Monday. Kurt Althoff received the Sheriff…s Achievement Award for his work with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, while Mike Bishop received a certificate achievement for his work with the Physical Tactics Training Team.

With Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner, eligible to play another three seasons at Texas A&M, it's hard to imagine another top-rated quarterback recruit signing on with the Aggies. Southlake Carroll's Kenny Hill heard all the same doubts, and still plans to sign with Texas A&M on Wednesday, the first day high school athletes can sign national letters of intent. When Hill committed to Texas A&M back in April, Manziel had yet to become Johnny Football, much less a Heisman Trophy winner the first to win the award as a freshman. But after those developments, Hill took a couple of last-minute visits to Kansas State and Baylor just to make sure of his decision to sign with the Aggies. "Whenever he was up for the Heisman, and then won it, I kind of knew that I had to open things back up," Hill told The Dallas Morning News.

IT / OT Convergence - realizing the benefits of a connected enterprise
By: SGN Staff
By Michael Sing
The concept of the connected enterprise is based on the use of open IT standards as a means of connecting devices, equipment, processes and systems in a way that promotes transparency and interoperability across the enterprise. Although the connected enterprise leads to substantial benefits around access to information and timeliness of its delivery, filling up many hard drives with information does not allow a business to realize the full benefits of a productive, profitable and sustainable enterprise.
To attain the position of being a productive, profitable and sustainable enterprise, companies need to ensure that beyond connectivity and interoperability, the areas of information management and culture and change management are addressed. Information management is a widely used term but in this context information management refers to the following:
- Where the information comes from. It is critical for companies to ensure that their information originates from sources that are trusted and validated. Invalid or mistrusted information can be harmful and impact decision making.
- Who are the users of the information and why do they need it? Because there are many different users across the enterprise with varying roles and responsibilities, it is essential to determine their requirements in order to implement the How.
- How are the different users in the enterprise going to achieve their roles and responsibilities and benefit from the large volumes of available information? In other words what are the tools, applications or services required to process and analyze the information in order to gain valuable insight or to make better decisions?
Implementing new or enhancing existing information management systems often requires considerable change within an organization. The organization's structure, processes and procedures and even roles and responsibilities need to transform into order to realize the benefits provided by such systems. With heightened visibility and better insight of enterprise operations, new ways of collaboration between previously isolated groups need to be established. In order for this transformation to stick, whereby benefits are realized continuously, and not just through the honeymoon period, organizations have to invest in effective change and culture management. New systems and tools by themselves are not enough, the users have to be educated on how to use them effectively and to see them as a benefit to themselves and hence their organization.
The journey for organizations to realize the benefits of the connected enterprise is a complex one. The first step is adopting and implementing open IT standards across the enterprise from the top floor to the shop floor to increase connectivity and interoperability. As mentioned, managing the information and the organization's readiness are essential in ensuring the transition from a connected enterprise to the productive, profitable and sustainable enterprise.

If i was in charge of FYF or Coachella's twitter accounts, I would follow all kinds of ridiculous shit. Then i would have fun watching everyone lose their shit over nothing.
Ha! Somebody is reading this board. Shortly after posting the strokes thing they followed blink 182 and foo fighters.

Today's the day. Excited! I either want it go one of two ways: Either it's solid or it falls flat. What I don't want there to be is some unexpected reunion they only get that would entice me while everything around it looks standard practice/predictable.
I was thinking this morning it'd be cool if Pavement played. I missed their 2010 reunion tour. (I have no basis for thinking Pavement will play)
I hope Swans are on the lineup.
white power?!
Every year there are rumors of a Blood Brothers reunion. Pretty sure it's just not happening at this point.
I would like to see Chuck Ragan there. Somehow I still haven't seen him live.
Engine Down reunion confirmed.
I fucking wish. As long as they keep songs off self titled to a minimum.
Damn, I guess since Ceremony just announced an LA date at the Roxy three weeks prior to FYF, that puts them out of the mix, huh?
BADBADNOTGOOD are playing a free show at the Getty on August 23rd.

U.N. observers stop operations along Iraq-Kuwait border
U.N. observers monitoring the Iraq-Kuwait border said on Monday they had stopped all operations in the demilitarized zone amid U.S.-led preparations for an attack on Iraq.
"Effective today, we have ceased all operations under... our security plan," Daljeet Bagga, spokesman of the U.N. Iraq-Kuwait Observer Mission (UNIKOM), told Reuters.
"We are still here in the DMZ (demilitarized zone), but we have ceased operations and are awaiting further instruction," he said.
The United States, Britain and Spain on Monday were close to abandoning efforts to gain international approval for military action unless the U.N. Security Council immediately backed a resolution on the use of force.
Under UNIKOM's security planning, the next phase to wind down operations in the event of war would be a withdrawal from the DMZ to Kuwait City. Bagga said no decision had been made on that step.
UNIKOM was established in April 1991 following the withdrawal of Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Its task is to monitor the demilitarized zone along the Iraq-Kuwait border, deter border violations and report on any hostile action. (Albawaba.com)

I am currently using whatever the default settings were when I installed Ubuntu (clean install). Things to be running okay, however, there are a few "buggy" issues. For example, when I log in, the screen is momentarily garbled, but it fixes itself within a few seconds. Also, sometimes, the screen won't "wake up" when I wake up my computer. There is the FGLRX driver that shows up in the "additional drivers" menu which I haven't tried, but I am afraid of (Hardware)

The rules for this group are pretty simple:
1) Please keep profanity to a minimum and no swearing in the title of your post
2) No cyberbullying. If you have a complaint about someone on another board or someone in real life who is on Babycenter, please do not come here to vent.
3) This board is for all part-time working moms, but no soliciting for WAHM jobs. Please take those requests to the appropriate board.
4) This probably goes without saying, but this is not the place to bash other moms, either full-time working moms or SAHMs. The mommy wars have been played out and I'm sorry to say that there are no winners. So let's all support each other as parents.
5) If you have an issue with one of the members of this board please bring it to the Group Owners first so that we can try to resolve it.
I think that every single member has something to offer the others as far as advice, tips, etc. I'm looking forward to this group growing and becoming more active!

Bainbridge School Levy Coasts to Easy Victory
Listen: There are school levies and then there is Spartan basketball.
And when the levy results showing a 74.3 percent victory were announced Tuesday night, Bainbridge Island School District's top levy proponents were found not huddled around a computer screen but cheering in the stands at Bainbridge High School as the Spartan boys -- then tied for No. 1 in the Metro league -- were ending the first quarter against Eastside Catholic, with a promising score of to 24 to 14.
Superintendent Ken Crawford stepped away to say he was "certainly thrilled" at the voter's decision, and has a "very sincere appreciation for the turnout and for the support."
Bruce Colley, the retired assistant superintendent helping to run a citizens' campaign for the levy, said the victory was in part due to educating islanders about what a levy is.
The citizens' group sent out two islandwide mailings during the group, and conducted an extensive phone-calling campaign.
Some 5,409 persons voted in favor. Some 25.70 voted no, or 1,871 persons.
The levy will provide the district with $23.1 million over three years, through 2010.
Costing approximately $1.21 per $1,000 assessed property value, it is a replacement measure that will pay for teachers, counselors, special education, bus service, supplies, utilities and the like. It will help fill the gap between what the state allocates for education, and what it costs.
Then, it was back to the game.
"It looks to me like they're taking care of business," Colley said.

Editorial: New oversight for community services
When you think about it, Henri Brooks is a near-perfect fit to serve as chairwoman of the Shelby County Commission's Community Services Committee.
During committee and commission meetings, Brooks has been an insistent inquisitor about how Community Services Division money is spent, who makes the spending decisions and whether programs administered by the division are having positive outcomes.
At times, Brooks can be a bit strident and caustic in her questioning but often she is asking questions that need to be asked. Millions of dollars are spent in Memphis and Shelby County annually on programs to alleviate the situations that keep citizens mired in poverty and poor health. Yet the community's poverty rate seems immovable.
Brooks is spot on when she seeks more information about funding, about who is actually being served and whether procedures are in place to make sure people who could benefit from specific programs know about them.
Brooks is taking the committee chair at a time when funding for this kind of spending — called discretionary — is facing the possibility of serious cuts. Ninety percent of the Community Services Division's $75 million budget is funded with state and federal grants.
If congressional Republicans and President Barack Obama cannot reach an agreement on the "fiscal cliff" budget issue by the end of the year, deep mandatory cuts in spending will take place. Even if they do reach a deal, the belief is that cuts in the discretionary budget are coming as the nation works to get its fiscal house in order.
Representatives of the National Association of Counties, including Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell, told The Commercial Appeal's editorial board last week the possibility of severe cuts in federal discretionary funding is one of the chief concerns of county officials across the country.
Brooks spent about three hours Friday hearing from employees, learning about programs that help the very young, the elderly and teenage parents. It is a safe bet that many of them were apprehensive when they learned Brooks would be visiting.
But division Director Dottie Jones, who usually is the one who has to endure Brooks' questioning during commission meetings, said she was happy that Brooks made the effort to learn about the division's programs. It was the first time, Jones said, that a committee chairperson took the time to learn about each program.
That is a plus on Brooks' part, but we will add this one caution to the commissioner: Try not to be a back-seat driver.

Evaluation of expression and function of the H+/myo-inositol transporter HMIT

The phosphoinositide (PIns) signalling pathway regulates a series of neuronal processes, such as neurotransmitter release, that are thought to be altered in mood disorders. Furthermore, mood-stabilising drugs have been shown to inhibit key enzymes that regulate PIns production and alter neuronal growth cone morphology in an inositol-reversible manner. Here, we describe analyses of expression and function of the recently identified H+/myo-inositol transporter (HMIT) investigated as a potential regulator of PIns signalling.
We show that HMIT is primarily a neuronal transporter widely expressed in the rat and human brain, with particularly high levels in the hippocampus and cortex, as shown by immunohistochemistry. The transporter is localised at the Golgi apparatus in primary cultured neurones. No HMIT-mediated electrophysiological responses were detected in rat brain neurones or slices; in addition, inositol transport and homeostasis were unaffected in HMIT targeted null-mutant mice.
Together, these data do not support a role for HMIT as a neuronal plasma membrane inositol transporter, as previously proposed. However, we observed that HMIT can transport inositol triphosphate, indicating unanticipated intracellular functions for this transporter that may be relevant to mood control.

Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids recounts the exploits of 15 teenage reformatory boys evacuated to a remote mountain village in wartime. The boys are treated as delinquent outcasts - feared and detested by the local peasants. When plague breaks out, their hosts abandon them and flee, blockading them inside the empty village. The boys' brief and doomed attempt to build autonomous lives of self-respect, love, and tribal valour fails in the face of death and the adult nightmare of war.
©1958 Kenzaburo Oe (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"An angry, engrossing novel...It is an extraordinary first novel, an amazing achievement for a writer of any age. Myth-like and almost painfully suspenseful, Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids has much in common with both Lord of the Flies and The Plague.... His uncompromising honesty is what gives the story its universality and what makes its grim ending such a persuasive warning." (New York Times)
"Oe is considered by many to be Japan's greatest postwar novelist. It's easy to see why. Here, his writing is crisp and lovely and gruesomely perfect." (Publishers Weekly)
"Available for the first time in English, this first novel by the winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Literature is assured an audience both among those who are familiar with Oe's work and eagerly await the translations that will inevitably follow the awarding of the prize and those who are newly aware of Oe as a major literary figure and wish to sample the range of his work." (Library Journal)
an excellent story but depressing
the child who took care of the dog
when the main character refused to sell out.
the killing of the dog
this book depressed me and made me lose faith in my fellow human beings.

Carrie Underwood stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and talked about her new vegan diet and how the adjustment has affected her husband, NHL-er Mike Fisher.
"He's alright. He's actually getting better," Underwood said "I'll offer to make him something I'm making myself and he'll say 'sure'."
Even though her own diet is quite restrictive, she hopes to become the ideal at-home chef for her family.
"I want to be that mom someday that's like, oh my mom makes the best... fill in the blank. I would love to be that. So I'm working on it."

The 2015 Annual NCVACC Educational Conference
October 26-30, 2015.
The University of Utah Guest House
Salt Lake City, Utah
The location for the Conference will be at The University of Utah Guest House and Conference Center. It is a wonderful and popular facility, located on the campus of the University of Utah in the beautiful historic district of Fort Douglas on the East Side of St. Lake Valley. The Hotel and Conference Center were the home for the 2002 Winter Olympic athletic village. Fort Douglas is a very scenic and peaceful area of the campus.
Official By-Law of the NCVACC
December 1, 2014
Dear NCVACC Members and VA Catholic Chaplain Brothers!
I wish to extend a very warm greeting to all of you who minister to our veterans throughout the VA System. The National Conference of VA Catholic Chaplains (NCVACC) is a wonderful organization that provides fraternal collaboration with our Catholic Chaplains working in the VA Healthcare Systems throughout the country.
As a Professional Chaplain organization, we offer continuing education opportunity at our Annual Educational Conference as well an avenue for those interested in attaining status as Board Certified Chaplain (BCC); which can be reciprocated with several other Professional Chaplain organizations. We also act as an advocate and voice for all Catholic Chaplains working in the VA System, in order to strive for excellence of pastoral care in the VA overall. As you may well be aware, the VA is constantly in transition in order to best serve our veterans, and having your voice as Catholic Chaplains heard "at the table" is more important than ever. As Catholic Chaplains, we believe that we have unique tools and pastoral care approaches to offer the entire VA system.
As a member of the NCVACC you are supporting the organization in its efforts to bring experts in the field of Pastoral Care to present at our conferences, and engage in dialogue with the VA leadership and the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Military services. Also, as an organization with Board Certifying accreditation, your membership support sustains our status with the USCCB Accreditation body; as well as cognate professional chaplain organizations.
Included in this letter is the Annual Dues/Membership Application. Membership Dues are due by January 1, annually. Your membership is a means of recognizing your contribution to the status of professional clinical chaplaincy. If you hold BCC Status with NCVACC, Membership dues are necessary in order to maintain this.
Members are also entitled to discounts applied to the costs of the NCVACC Annual Education conference, if they are paid no later than February 1, 2015.
This is especially helpful to those who, in these days of very tight budgets in our VA facilities, are shouldering the cost of attending the annual conference on their own.
Reverend Father Martin Smith-Soucier
President NCVACC

Qaddafi's Few Friends Mourn Death of a 'Hero'
- By Uri Friedman
Uri Friedman is deputy managing editor at Foreign Policy. Before joining FP, he reported for the Christian Science Monitor, worked on corporate strategy for Atlantic Media, helped launch the Atlantic Wire, and covered international affairs for the site. A proud native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he studied European history at the University of Pennsylvania and has lived in Barcelona, Spain and Geneva, Switzerland.
Muammar Qaddafi didn't have many friends left in the days before his death, but the ones he'd maintained were still publicly supporting him against mounting odds. Earlier this month, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who blames Western meddling for the unrest in the Middle East, praised Qaddafi loyalists for "resisting the invasion and aggression" and asked "God to protect the life of our brother Muammar Qaddafi." Another Qaddafi ally, Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, refused to recognize Libya's interim government, called for the country's new leaders to negotiate with their fugitive ruler, and expressed sympathy for the Qaddafi regime, which, in his view, had been torn asunder by the "machinations of the imperialists." In Cuba, Fidel Castro condemned the "genocide" and "monstrous crimes" committed by the United States and its NATO allies in Libya.
While Castro and Mugabe haven't yet made public statements about Qaddafi's death today, Chavez has already offered a eulogy. Upon returning to Venezuela after receiving treatment for cancer in Cuba, El Universal reports, Chavez expressed outrage at Qaddafi's "murder," declared that the "Yankee empire" will "not be able to master this world," and said "we will remember Qaddafi forever as a great fighter, a revolutionary, and a martyr."
The state-run news outlets in Venezuela and Zimbabwe are dutifully expressing their solidarity with Qaddafi as well. Venezolana de Televisión reports that Qaddafi was "assassinated" — a verb we're not seeing much in the coverage today — while the Agencia Venezolana de Noticias ridicules Western leaders (the "patrons of aggression against Libya") for invoking freedom and democracy today while waging a military campaign in Libya and establishing crass commercial ties with its new leaders. The analyst Raimundo Kabchi tells AVN that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "practically authorized and encouraged" Qaddafi's "assassination" during her recent visit to Libya.
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's commentary, meanwhile, comes in the form of an obituary. The ZBC explains that while Qaddafi's "anti western, anti imperialism approach" made him an "enemy of the west" (surely it had nothing to do with the Berlin nightclub or Lockerbie bombings), his "strong military support and finances" won him "several allies across the African continent" (including, of course, Zimbabwe). "Rebel forces" may have killed him today, the news outlet adds, but Qaddafi was really toppled by the U.S. and its NATO allies, who "interfered in the Libyan uprising targeting Colonel Gaddafi using their airstrikes and killing thousands of civilians in the process." The ZBC meditates on Qaddafi's legacy:
He will be to many a hero who went down fighting and exposed the west's decolonising mission in Africa in order to secure the continent's rich resources, that is oil in the case of Libya.
Retired Major Cairo Mhandu, a member of Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party, echoed ZBC's view today, according to the Global Post, warning of the "beginning of a new recolonization of Africa." Qaddafi, Mhandu argued, "won elections and was a true leader. It is foreigners who toppled him, not Libyans. Qaddafi died fighting. He is a true African hero." (Mugabe's political opponents told Voice of America that Qaddafi was the architect of his own downfall and that his death was a step in the direction of democracy).
Qaddafi's friends aren't limited to a handful of anti-Western world leaders, either. The Daily Beast reports that Qaddafi's former nurse Oksana Balinskaya, who's returned to Ukraine, is mourning the loss of her former boss, whom she considers a "brave hero" for making a last stand in his hometown of Sirte. "Why should we hate him or think of him as tyrant, if he gave us jobs and paid us well?" she asks.

Apple has proven in the past that putting social networks deeply into its products results in a big bump: When it added Twitter to iOS in iOS 5, it boosted monthly sign-ups by 25%. Facebook has a lot more users to begin with, so the new sign-ups its inclusion in iOS will deliver isn't likely to be quite as statistically significant. But the Facebook integration isn't about user acquisition, it's about engagement. System-level sharing available to all apps is a huge (IT news)

During the protest, another man in plain clothes, who identifies himself as a police officer, also pulls out a pistol and fires two shots into the air near the stadium, where Argentina were playing Bosnia- Herzegovina.
Government spokesman Pedro Dantas said there had been no reports of anyone suffering gunshot injuries.
The incident took place at around the start of the group match between Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the first World Cup finals game to be played in the Maracana stadium since 1950.
Earlier, officers had fired stun grenades and tear gas to block a march by about 200 protesters heading towards the stadium.
A stand-off ensued, with demonstrators holding banners massing near a police line guarding the route to Maracana. The Protesters chanted "Fifa, go back to Switzerland".

IF THERE was ever a study not to lose sleep over, it's this one. People deprived of a good night's rest are more likely to see changes in brain activity that lead to an increased desire for high-calorie foods.
Matthew Walker at the University of California in Berkeley and colleagues have conducted the first study of brain activity in relation to food among sleep-deprived people. The team used fMRI to study brain patterns in 23 people first after a night of peaceful sleep and then after a night without sleep.
Sleep deprivation diminished activity in three areas of the brain that help, among other things, to process odour and flavour signals. It also led to more activity in the amygdala, which helps govern the motivation to eat.
After no sleep, the volunteers also rated pictures of high-calorie foods as more desirable than they did after a good rest (Nature Communications, DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3259).
It may make evolutionary sense, says Laurent Brondel at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France. At higher latitudes, the long summer days naturally deprive animals of sleep, but they use their time awake to eat more food to get through the short days of winter when food is scarcer.

NEWARK, NJ - NOVEMBER 25: Jonathan Cheechoo #41 of the Ottawa Senators skates against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on November 25, 2009 in Newark, New Jersey. The Devils won the game 3-1. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
It's been six years since Jonathan Cheechoo shocked the hockey world with a 56-goal season for the San Jose Sharks. During that time, he's become an enigmatic journeyman. He was shipped to the Ottawa Senators in 2009 in the Dany Heatley trade; was bought out in 2010; attended Dallas Stars training camp; returned to the Sharks organization; signed a 2-way deal with the St. Louis Blues this summer, and is currently playing for the AHL Peoria Rivermen. But wherever Jonathan Cheechoo goes, his soundtrack follows him. "The Cheechoo Song" remains one of hockey's oddest memes, as a portly gentleman in a beard chants and dances to a tune that goes a little something like this: "Train, train, Cheechoo train/The [Insert Current Team Here] are gonna win this game/CHEE-CHOO (oh yeah)/CHEE-CHOO" And so on. It's pretty much one of our favorite things in the history of ever, so we were thrilled to see another edition has been produced in honor of Cheechoo's joining the Rivermen — the appropriatel...
