SBL Helping Community Enroll in Health Plans
for Second Year
Sarah Bush Lincoln received a grant to provide five counselors, who will travel throughout the area to help area residents better understand their insurance options.
Eligible community members may enroll in an insurance plan beginning Nov. 15 through Feb.15, 2015.
"With more carriers offering plans in year two, there are more choices for consumers," said DOI Director Andrew Boron. "Increased competition has led to competitive pricing and individuals, families and small businesses will have access to an even wider selection of affordable health care options in 2015."
Through the Marketplace, residents will be able to compare plans and premiums side-by-side. All plans provide coverage for the same set of essential health benefits. These health benefits include: ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health/substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment, prescription drugs, rehabilitative/habilitative services and devices, laboratory services, preventive& wellness services and chronic disease management, and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
Misti Lewis, project supervisor, said the team welcomes questions and is happy to sit down with area residents to discuss various insurance options. For more information, call the SBL In-Person Counselor Program at 238-4994.

Blake Brown, 32, of World Group, LLC/West Des Moines.
Get to know: Blake Brown, 32
Published on January 7th, 2014 | by Sarah Day Owen
Title: Vice President of Brokerage-Des Moines, World Group, LLC / West Des Moines
What I do: Broker for World Group Commercial Real Estate. We are a full-service brokerage, property management company and developer.
Background: I have been in commercial real estate for approximately 11 years and recently accepted a position with World Group and moved from Denny Elwell Company. I work with landlords/sellers to list property for lease and for sale and also represent tenants/buyers for the leasing or purchase of commercial property.
Notable achievements: I received my brokers license in 2004 and was promoted at that time to managing director for a local real estate firm. I was recently selected to be the vice president of brokerage for World Group in Des Moines.
Why I do what I do: I love real estate in general and enjoy helping clients to realize their dream. Many of the clients that I work with have a vision of where they see their business, but do not know how to go about actually leasing or purchasing property to establish it. I am able to help them in determining what type and size of property will suit their business the best and then I research the market and provide them with options to consider. Another large piece of what I do is managing a sales team.
To get away from work, I like to: Spend time with my wife of nearly nine years and our 2-year-old daughter. We like getting outdoors and watching the Hawkeyes. I also enjoy working on and modifying vehicles of all types. I am currently building an off-road Jeep to have as a fun toy and have built a couple of fast cars.
How I give back to the community: I volunteer my time often and participate in several events including the annual Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure, the annual Walk to Defeat ALS and I am the co-founder of an annual event, "Fall MDA fundraiser," which has raised more than $70,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the past five years.
To attract and retain young professionals, Iowa should: Continue to incentivize companies to locate to Iowa and the Des Moines area and provide well-paying jobs that are attractive to young professionals. We should also continue to grow and offer affordable housing suitable for students and young professionals.
To be taken seriously as a young professional, it's important to: Learn as much as you can about the profession you are seeking or working in, so that you can demonstrate knowledge in the field. When trying to secure a new client or business don't just reach out to them once and expect to get the business. You have to follow up repeatedly and earn their business. I've seen it too many times that a young professional will contact someone like myself and want to meet to share more about the business they are working for. Then I never hear from them again. If they would have stayed in touch there could have been opportunity to do business once we developed a better relationship.
In five years, I see myself: Continuing to learn and build my real estate career. My goal is also to have a knowledgeable sales team that is ready to tackle the market. I also want to own multiple real estate investments and be in a position where one day I can develop real estate projects myself.

Lion Fight Muay Thai VII will take place on September 8th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The main event for the evening is expected to be a Light Heavyweight match-up between Joe Schilling and Alex Berrios. Although the fight has not been officially announced by Lion Fight Promotions, sources have informed us that both fighters have verbally agreed to the fight.
Schilling will be looking for back to back wins after dropping two consecutive bouts to Simon Marcus earlier in the year. He most recently defeated Karapaet Karapetyan at Battle of the Belts earlier this month in Thailand; Schilling won the fight by unanimous decision.
Berrios will be looking to for his third consecutive victory after scoring a (T)KO victory over Travis Lerchern at Friday Night Fight Muay Thai this past January and most recently a unanimous decision win over Warren Thompson at Bangkok Fight Night earlier this month.
The fight will be an interesting clash of styles. Most fans have become accustomed to Schilling's aggressive style, while Berrios has a very traditional Thai style. In his last fight against Karapetyan, Schilling showed a more composed and relaxed style as opposed to his usual blitzkrieg style of attack. A size advantage should definitely lie in favor of Schilling as Berrios, isn't known to cut much weight for his fights. Should make of an interesting and exciting match-up as Schilling looks to continue to prove he is the best 175lb fighter in the United States, while Berrios will be looking to make his presence known in the American Muay Thai scene.

Bridgestone: "Headlights"
It started out innocently enough. The driver did a great job avoiding the innocent little deer chilling haphazardly in the street.
Then it got interesting. I couldn't quite tell what I was looking at, then imagine my surprise when Alice Cooper was in crouching in the middle of the road holding a snake. Okay, that was a little random, but I guess that's pretty funny...what could possibly be next?Of course the climax came when we saw Richard Simmons doing exercise in the middle of the street. My first instinct was to scream the exact action the driver took. "Punch It!
This commercial would have been glorious if Richard Simmon's little scream had occurred while his body tumbled through the air like a video game character in a game that employed rag doll physics.
No such luck. We still got a scream, but Richard Simmons survived the experience. I think it was a great commercial nonetheless.

« Telling Everyone What It's Like |
| Making the Numbers Confess »
Posted by Derek
Here's a paper in PNAS that says that we're probably treating infectious disease the wrong way - and perhaps cancer as well. The authors go over the currently accepted doctrines: multiple-mechanism therapies, when possible, and restricted use to patients who really need antibiotics. But there's a third assumption that they say is causing trouble:
A third practice thought to be an effective resistant management strategy is the use of drugs to clear all target pathogens from a patient as fast as possible. We hereafter refer to this practice as "radical pathogen cure." For a wide variety of infectious diseases, recommended drug doses, interdose intervals, and treatment durations (which together constitute "patient treatment regimens") are designed to achieve complete pathogen elimination as fast as possible. This is often the basis for physicians exhorting their patients to finish a drug course long after they feel better (long-course chemotherapy). Our claim is that aggressive chemotherapy cannot be assumed to be an effective resistance management strategy a priori. This is because radical pathogen cure necessarily confers the strongest possible evolutionary advantage on the very pathogens that cause drugs to fail.
The harder you hit a population of infectious disease organisms, the harder you're selecting for resistance. The key, they say, is that in many cases there's genetic diversity among these organisms even inside single patients. So you can start off with a population of bacteria, say, that could be managed by less aggressive therapy and the patient's own immune system. But then aggressive treatment ends up killing off the great majority of the bacterial population, which you'd think would be a step forward. But what you're left with are the genotypes that are hardest to kill with antibiotics. They were in a minority, and might well have died out under competition from their less-genetically-burdened cohorts. But killing those off gives the resistant organisms an open field to work in.
The other problem here is a public-heath one. You want to cure the individual patient, and you want to keep their disease from spreading, and you want to keep from encouraging resistance among the infectious organisms. Optimizing for all three at once is probably not possible.
The paper goes into detail with the example of malaria, pointing out that it may well be the norm for people to be infected with several different lineages of malaria parasites at the same time. They seem to be in there competing for nutrients and for red blood cells, and some of them appear to be keeping the others in check. Antimalarial drugs alter the cost/benefit ratio (for the parasites) of carrying resistance genes.
So what should we do? The problem is, they say, that there are probably no general rules that can be recommended:
Thus, aggressive chemotherapy is a double-edged sword for resistance management. It can reduce the chances of high-level resistance arising de novo in an infection. But when an infection does contain resistant parasites, either from de novo mutation or acquired by transmission from other hosts, it gives those parasites the greatest possible evolutionary advantage both within individual hosts and in the population as a whole. How do the opposing evolutionary pressures generated by radical cure combine in different circumstances to determine the useful life span of a drug? There will be circumstances when overwhelming chemical force retards evolution and other times when it drives things very rapidly. We contend that for no infectious disease do we have sufficient theory and empiricism to determine which outcome is more important. It seems unlikely that any general rule will apply even for a single disease, let alone across disease systems.
For more on such ideas as applied to bacterial infections, see here and here. But near the end of this paper, the authors apply similar reasoning to cancer. (That analogy has come up around here before, I should note).
An analogous situation also occurs in cancer therapy, where cell lineages within a tumor compete for access to space and nutrients. There, the argument has recently been made that less aggressive chemotherapy might sustain life better than overwhelming drug treatment, which simply removes the competitively more able susceptible cell lineages, allowing drug-resistant lineages to kill the host. Mouse experiments support this: Conventionally treated mice died of drug-resistant tumors, but less aggressively treated mice survived (95).
So maybe too many of us have been thinking about these questions the wrong way. If we switch over to favoring whatever strategy minimizes resistance, both in individual patients and thus across the population, we could be in better shape. . .

Improved public health resources (education and convenient prophylactics) should do wonders in preventing infectious disease. As far as cancer goes, I agree with the authors that we may be too quick to subject patients to radio- and chemotherapy. My recently-deceased acquaintance had a recurrent, small-cell lung cancer that was initially slow-growing. After going through a buffet of small-molecule drugs over the past year, the cancer metastasized to his spine and brain...he was pretty much a goner at that point. Perhaps more efforts should be devoted to patient screening algorithms, which could minimize the chances of wasting time and money on ineffective therapies.
2. simpl on June 27, 2011 10:31 AM writes...
The most resistent bugs may not be the most agressive or fastest growing. Thus, when you stop a course of antibiotics, other organisms should then displace any survivors in the gut. This probiotic approach can be treated for e.g. freeze-dried E Coli in a capsule.

Derek : Who knows where this is all headed? How does one deal with nasty pathogen such as MRSA? Aggressive therapy can defeat the pathogen or else you are going to meet the fate of those German's who died because of those endo-toxins released by E.coli.
4. Anon on June 27, 2011 10:50 AM writes...
There are many reasons for development of resistence. as well as contributing to health-care cost to individuals & society. The clinical use of antibiotics remains overused and abused, for example, given out when there is no reason to suspect bacterial infection, but provided when the patient is insistent. Elderly are often given antibiotics prophylactically, "just in case", but all to frequently resulting in other more serious issues such as development of resistence infections (my elderly father was one of the very unlucky who did not survive the events). So, there's lot's of places that anibiotics can be cut back for the benefit of individuals as well as society overall.

And this is why teaching evolution to chemists and doctors is so important. When I started studying med chem in 2002, I'd just finished a course on evolution, which made me think about the acquisition of cisplatin resistance by certain cancers very much in terms of adaptation and natural selection, and made me wonder if the "go-in-with-all-guns-blazing" approach to treating cancer was really the optimal one.
6. CMCguy on June 27, 2011 2:09 PM writes...
This sounds like arguments coming from the personalized medicine promotions which in principle would lead to better outcomes when treatments can be tailored to what works for an individual. Attractive yes however are the diagnostic tools of sufficient refinement available for infections and cancers and more so once have identified the differences are the right drugs/treatments on hand to handle the variations? Would be great to achieve all this yet wonder about the cost requirements that would accompany implementation verses the direction of tolerance for the funding development and pricing these days.
7. MoMo on June 27, 2011 2:15 PM writes...
The authors are sure jumping around from bacteria to parasites to mammalian cells and their statement "The guiding principle should be to impose no more selection than is absolutely necessary" is a lofty goal for medicine to acheive.
When is the imposition on infection enough? When the patient survives? You don't impose enough, though, guess what? The patient dies! Try that in a Phase II study. I can see it now in the study design-we are only going to give you enough not to impose resistance-Good Luck, here's a lucky rabbit's foot for you!
I am not sure of the point of this paper, but theoretical ramblings like this from biologists/clinicians are cheap, poignant thoughts of real meaning and actionable items in resistance chemotherapy expensive.
On a scale of 1 to 10 on the use of this paper in real infectious diseases/treatment this scores a Fluffy -4.
8. barry on June 27, 2011 2:43 PM writes...
what we (or some of us) have learned from CML is that--if left untreated--it progresses to lethal "blast crisis" but if treated early (when there's just the single mutation) with a BcrAbl inhibitor, it can be stopped. At least for this cancer, the analogy to bacterial infection is probably meaningless. Many putative cancer therapeutics fail to change mortality because they kill only some of the cancer cells but fail to eradicate the line.
9. lynn on June 27, 2011 3:24 PM writes...
@7 Momo, I agree that this theoretical stuff lumping bacterial, malaria and cancer is a bit much - but don't lump all biologists together! In the bacterial area, what could be done - but which is not done yet in a serious way - is to model resistance development (at least for mutations that occur in the pathogen) to established and novel antibacterials in stringent, standardized animal models to test these ideas. As a microbial geneticist, I have ideas about what constitutes "selective pressure" - but it's hard to quantify the amount of selective pressure in any given situation. More experiments - with more chemicals [at least in the systems that can be experimentally manipulated] is called for. IMVHO, of course.
10. David Young MD on June 27, 2011 3:26 PM writes...
The sure fire way to fail at curing a 20 year old of advanced testicular cancer is to withhold the heavy duty chemotherapy. Give moderate dose and notice the drug resistance develop and the young man dies. Same thing for high grade lymphoma and Hodgkins lymphoma. What is said may apply to lung cancer or colon cancer, but certainly not to cancers considered curable by chemotherapy.
11. Dr. Manhattan on June 27, 2011 4:38 PM writes...
Lynn above has made an excellent point about our limited understanding of selective pressure. I suggest that those with interest in this area look at the papers of researchers such as Bruce Levin (Emory Univ), whose is making serious efforts to model resistance development. But more work is needed to really solidify these concepts. The idea that resistant organisms are at some sort of fitness disadvantage is not new, but there is also the issue of compensatory mutations that can restore fitness to a resistant organism and thereby preserve resistance. So the statement that "...they were in a minority, and might well have died out under competition from their less-genetically-burdened cohorts", is really a conjecture.
I should also point out that while the idea may sound fine in the abstract, the FDA is extremely unlikely to support sub-optimal dosing trials of antibiotics to test resistance selection theories!! When things "go south" in a serious infection, there is little time to spare (hours at most) in hitting the organisms as hard as possibel to reduce the infection burden to a point where eyou hope it can be cleared. Those of us left in antibiotic research (the few, the proud, the survivors..) know that there are a set of PK-PD values that must be achieved, and these are based on clinical isolate population studies of the target pathogen(s)with the compound in question. These populations include resistant organisms, and you must demonstrate target attainment against those resistant organisms.
12. Matt on June 27, 2011 5:58 PM writes...
An alternative solution is spectrum targeting. Rather than radical treatment with one antibiotic or chemotherapeutic, use multiple drugs with different modes of action. There is a much lower probability of resistance mutations occurring in multiple genes simultaneously.
This is a common approach in agrochemical resistance management. Fungi are so promiscuous that any single-fungicide approach is usually overcome quickly. Of course not all therapeutic areas have this luxury.
13. barry on June 27, 2011 6:19 PM writes...
re Matt (#12)
people in the oncology field are pursuing two strategies along these lines. Hitting a cancer by blockade of two different pathways can give synergetic effects. Blockading two paths on the same pathway won't give synergy, but can defeat resistant mutants. In either case, the goal is still eradication rather than just killing off the weak ones.
14. Jose on June 27, 2011 6:31 PM writes...
Just to clarify, the situation with malaria is FAR more complex than as stated above. There are four (or five, or six, depending on who's counting) different *species* all of which have sexual reproduction cycles. So, within a single patient, you can have multiple genetic populations of the same species, multiple populations of different species, or both together (infection with multiple parasites is fairly common).
Add the dynamics within human populations, and well.... no-one has a clue.
15. provocateur on June 27, 2011 9:11 PM writes...
This is bunkum!In cancer as well as infectious disease, you have to kill all of them with some prevention/education.Why I say this...because it worked for polio,small pox etc.This is out of the box thinking is some liberal idiots having too little to do and thinking too much to hv a paper!

This is all very well, but the patient needs to get back to work in three days, (not next month), otherwise he will be terminated.

@ Matt
You are right - the spectrum therapy concept that you mention is used in two combinations fot leprosy, for example: http://www.who.int/lep/mdt/en/index.html The site also discusses side-effects and resistance.

On the other side of the story, you have strong evidence, in vitro and in vivo, that too low, or irregular dosing is the IDEAL way to induce resistance, period. Sounds like we have a Goldilocks and the 3 Bears situation. Not too much, not too little, just right.
Another thing to bear in mind - and this may only apply to bacterial infections - is that selective use of antibiotics for only more severe cases has been shown to significantly reduce resistance prevalence in a large population.On a large population basis, it's not too high of a dose, but too many unecessary prescriptions that's the problem. Of course, that would be an inconvenient answer for pharma marketing, so it must be wrong.
Overall, a provocative hypothesis, but if I have a kid with streptococcal meningitis, I'll still take my chances with the all-out antibiotic assault.
20. Epoetker on June 28, 2011 2:17 PM writes...
Didn't...Michael Behe...the ID guy...actually address these very problems in The Edge of Evolution when talking about malarial resistance? Specifically when calculating the probability of a two-mutation evolutionary event versus a one-mutation event?
And did he mention some things on how due to the fact that certain mutations appear in widely disparate malarial victims when dosed with chloroquine, that we could effectively say we had exhausted the mutational possibilities of wild-type malaria against that particular drug?
What's really needed for effective treatment of these infections is the notion of "Every Man an Ecosystem." Then we could at least tailor our destructive extinctionary impulses with much greater sharpness.

All of you, open a book on cellular resistance once in a while and you can see its complexity. When mere mortals try to describe it mathematically using generalities is when I move on back to reality.

Missouri DOT Joins Labor and Management
To Build Road Project's Diverse Craft Force
By E. Michael Powers
Missouri Dept. of Transportation is spending $2.5 million
to develop 240 women and minority pre-apprentices for heavy-highway
The Missouri Dept. of Transportation and a union-management
group in St. Louis have embarked on a new effort set to bolster
craft labor on the $535-million program to rebuild Interstate-64
in the city's downtown, and to ensure that the work force
recruited and trained reflects local demographics.
MoDOT is spending about $2.5 million for the program, launched
earlier this month. Participants say it is the first major
diversity-related employment and training effort in the state.
PRIDE of St. Louis Inc., the region's 35-year-old labor-management
group, won the contract to run the program. It involves $1.5
million to train about 240 women and minority pre-apprentices
for heavy-highway work, and likely for other trades. MoDOT
also has committed another $1 million in placement incentives
for contractors. Workers will join the projected 500-person
I-64 labor force, which will reconstruct 10.5 miles of the
Interstate over the next four years (ENR 12/4/06 p. 16).
"Every pre-apprentice trained will increase the work
force, which is a complicated task that not one entity can
solve alone," says Lester Woods, MoDOT's external civil
rights administrator. "This contract focuses on not just
training, but placement and retention to increase the success
of individuals in the program."
MoDOT is offering the incentives to achieve diversity levels
that can exceed federal standards of 14.7% for minorities
and 6.9% for women. For the first 20% of the labor force comprised
of women or minorities, a contractor will receive $3 per hour
per worker. If the contractor exceeds 20% diversity, it will
receive $10 per hour per worker for up to 5% of the work force.
"MoDOT is the first project owner to provide significant
funding to grow a diverse work force for its project,"
says Jim LaMantia, PRIDE executive director. He credits the
agency's "dedication and the commitment of the union
building trades."
Planning Ahead Much planning went into developing the contract's
request for proposals to ensure that the new effort exceeds
previous pre-apprentice programs. Community, construction,
labor and DOT representatives met for months to craft the
RFP. "We spent a lot of time to ensure that we asked
for something more comprehensive and collaborative,"
says Len Toenjes, president of the Associated General Contractors
of St. Louis, who participated in the RFP development.
"In the past, we had various pre-apprenticeship programs,
but, alone, they could not do it," says Sandra Marks,
president of Marks and Associates, a St. Louis diversity program
management firm. "Typically, they were social service
programs [and] could not teach people how to do construction.
If all you were trying to do was teach students how to get
up on time and show up on time, they would not know how to
work on heavy-highway jobs."
LaMantia says the new training program hopefully will improve
the quality of new recruits. "This program gives us an
opportunity through PRIDE to form partnerships with well respected
organizations in the minority communities to bring in high
quality candidates," he says. Local church groups are
a key component of the community outreach effort. Initial
interest from these organizations helped spur the program,
created with the expectation of their support.
"We wrote the responsibilities of the churches and clergy
in the RFP. We are sharing the responsibility with them,"
says Toenjes. "This is a different segment of the community
than we've had before that was interested in the construction
industry." He says church groups have great influence
within the city's minority community, making them a logical
source for recruitment and education support.
The pre-apprentice training was developed in conjunction with
local unions. It focuses on three key components: good work
habits and life skills, basics of industry standards and extensive
safety training. The goal is to allow students to "compete
successfully with people who have a better background,"
says Julia Tibbs, director of Operation EXCEL, a program of
the Housing Authority of St. Louis County.
The housing authority was chosen to execute the training because
of its past success with Youth Build, a program that prepares
high school students for carpentry apprenticeships, says Tibbs.
Training associated with the new program began March 7 and
will last eight weeks. It will include six rounds of full
classroom sessions. The I-64 project's size and four-year
duration are ideal for successfully completing an apprenticeship
and finding a contractor sponsor, participants say.
Operation EXCEL aims to keep people in apprenticeships. "If
students run into problems on a job, we will work with them
to make sure they have all the skills and knowledge they need
to know to succeed," says Tibbs. "If work runs out
on one job, it is our responsibility to find another contractor
so that they keep moving forward with their training."
The pre-apprentice program also has a tracking component.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis is building a data base
to monitor long-term retention of graduates who work on the
1-64 project and others. The program is being run with the
expectation that many students will choose other trades and
will need further vocational and apprentice training, based
on skill levels and inclination.
Program participants hope that seeds now being planted eventually
will produce a bountiful harvest. They see the MoDOT-funded
program as a key link to future recruits in the area's minority
community. "We have an aging work force. Most of our
new craft workers are going to be coming from non-traditional
backgrounds such as minorities and women," says Toenjes.
"We need to bring in as many workers as possible. This
is an opportunity to do that."
Marks says past recruitment efforts in St. Louis minority
communities have been acrimonious failures. "The contractors
blamed the unions, the unions blamed the apprenticeship programs.
The programs said that they recruit in high schools, but the
minorities do not want to go into construction," she
Marks contends that "in an urban community like St. Louis,
the idea of working with your hands outside was viewed as
demeaning. To the African-American community, it was what
we did back during slavery." She also attributes the
disdain to a lack of education about the construction industry.
"The distaste for construction stems largely from parents
not knowing how skilled workers really are," says Marks.
The consultant believes the MoDOT-funded program will help
create a base of workers who can spread the word about the
quality of industry jobs. "We are trying to make the
community aware that when their kids enter an apprenticeship
program, they are often making more money than their parents
did at 18 years old," says Marks.
The program already is attracting wider attention. PRIDE is
talking with contractors to obtain private funding to expand
and sustain training, says LaMantia.
MoDOT is considering using the program as a template for other
"We have another design-build project for the Paseo Bridge
and I-29 coming up in Kansas City where we hope to use the
same program," says Woods. LaMantia notes that the Illinois
Dept. of Transportation also is planning to model a minority
and women worker program on the one in neighboring Missouri.
"We see this as an historic opportunity to provide an
educational foundation for disadvantaged jobseekers that they
can leverage into rewarding construction careers," LaMantia

My community has recycling once a month. It is amazing the things you can find that people are throwing out. For example, our deck table needed an umbrella and someone threw one out. It was faded but otherwise in pretty good shape. I decided to spray paint it using an indoor/outdoor paint that is good for wood, metal, and more. I worked perfectly and I have had no problems with the paint running or fading. The umbrella is a little lopsided in the photo but it really isn't crooked!

Great idea! I am going to try it.
By Barbara [20]07/11/2010
You know, this is a really good idea. I had thought of doing it with my patio umbrella that is faded, but still in good shape. I was wondering if painting it would work but didn't know of anyone trying it yet. Your umbrella gooks new and I bet the paint makes it waterproof. I'm thinking you painted with a type of Rustoleum paint. Thanks for the post.

Great ideas. You also recovered your chairs with vinyl table cloths. I love your ideas. Keep em coming. Thanks for sharing.
By Trudy Shallow [3]07/10/2010
Am I right in assuming you painted the fabric part? What was the brand of paint you used?
By Allison07/09/2010
What a great idea. I would have thought the paint would crack with the constant opening and closing of the umbrella, but it doesn't seem that way.

Cambridge Granta's left-arm bowler James Cowan glad to be back on the right track
Posted: August 01, 2014|
James Cowan has certainly been putting his back into his work for Cambridge Granta this season.
The 24-year-old left-arm opening bowler has struck up an excellent partnership with Raj Singh at the start of the innings, with their wickets regularly helping the team produce good performances in the Gibbs Denley East Anglian Premier League.
And running in at pace and sending down devilish deliveries is something Cowan once thought he may not be able to do again, as he suffered a slipped disc three years ago.
The injury set him back during his time at university, where he won BUCS titles and played against the likes of Middlesex for Cambridge MCCU.
Cowan, who also has EAPL experience from his time with Godmanchester, is still working hard to get back to his very best and he is pleased with his progress.
"The last few seasons have been a bit of a struggle due to the slipped disc," said Cowan. "Everything seems to be coming on now and my fitness is getting better.
"I thought that was my cricket over because it was quite a big injury for me. I missed out on quite a few first-class games.
"It's taken a while to get back and I've had other little injuries as well. The amount of force that goes through that bowling action, particularly that front leg, makes it tough.
"I'm still trying to get fitter and stronger, and hopefully next year I can increase the number of wickets."
This summer, Cowan has taken 17 wickets in the EAPL at an average of 16.05, as well as claiming a couple of scalps in Granta's Royal London Club Championship run.
He describes his opening partnership with Singh as the best he has had in his career, while he also believes the foundations regularly laid by Johnny Atkinson and Dougie Rice at the top of the order have been very important this term.
And with the experience of captain Sean Park and exciting youngsters like Max Holden and Chris Pepper coming through, the bowler is very positive about the future.
"We've come together as a team and there's a good atmosphere in the dressing room," said Cowan, whose team host Bury St Edmunds tomorrow. "If we lose games we take the positives out of it, which is good.
"We're doing well as a club and I'm happy with how the season has gone and with myself.
"Hopefully next year I'll be fully fit and can carry on getting better.
"I could have had a few more wickets, with the odd dropped catch going down here and there, but it's more important to see the team doing well and winning."
The division's two other Mid-Anglia sides go head-to-head at the Anglo-American Playing Fields tomorrow as ninth-placed Saffron Walden host Burwell, who are three places and 58 points above them in the table.

Sony minisodes (mini-episodes) get wider distribution
by Brad Linder, posted Oct 20th 2007 8:36AM
Remember Sony's Minisode Network? Basically Sony is sitting on a huge library of television episodes that don't see much airtime anymore. So the company decided to slice up classic TV shows like Charlie's Angels, and T.J. Hooker and create 5 minute "minisodes."
The interesting thing is that the cliff notes versions of these shows work surprisingly well, if you don't care about things like plot, character development, and dialog.
The minisodes were originally available online at MySpace. Now Sony is making the mini-shows available on Crackle, AOL, and Joost, as well as MySpace. Sony is also bringing more shows out of the vault including Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and The Jeffersons.

Eating for a Healthy Heart
Local physician offers helpful tips and gift for new patients
New Lenox, IL (May 22, 2014)—Many people know that a high-fat, high cholesterol diet increases the chances of having a heart attack, stroke or some form of cancer, but many favorite foods are high in fat and cholesterol. How can you protect yourself from heart disease and still enjoy food?
First, you need to know how much is enough. Dr. Latha Arla, internal medicine physician at Silver Cross Hospital, recommends that you limit your cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams per day and total fat to less than 30 percent of the day's calories, including no more than 10 percent calories from saturated fat sources.
"All cholesterol and most saturated fats are found in animal foods, so that's a good place to begin," says Dr. Arla.
People can improve their diets without radical shifts in their eating habits simply by cutting back on the amount of meat, eggs and dairy products they eat and by eating more fruits, grains, vegetables and legumes, such as dried peas, beans and lentils.
Dr. Arla says it's important to check food labels for the saturated fat content, even if a label says low cholesterol, and to avoid foods with hydrogenated oils or with tropical oils, such as palm oil.
You can also reduce dietary fat in specific ways, including the following:
- Add less or no butter, margarine, dressings or sauces to food at the table.
- Cook with less fat, whether oil, shortening, butter or margarine, or no fat at all, either by using a nonstick pan or microwaving, baking, broiling or poaching.
- Substitute low-fat or nonfat snacks for high fat snacks
- Purchase low-fat or nonfat versions of favorite foods.
- Order low-fat meals in restaurants.
"Remember, it's important to be patient during periods of transition. Old habits die hard, and the best way to switch to a heart-healthy diet is to make the new food as appealing and enjoyable as possible," she adds.
To encourage heart-healthy eating habits, Dr. Arla is giving away a lunch container to hold fresh fruits and vegetables to new patients. To schedule an appointment, call (815) 727-4292. Her office is located with Sanitas Medical Group on the Silver Cross Hospital campus, Pavilion A, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox. Dr. Arla earned her medical degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a general medicine residency at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey where she was recognized as Intern of the Year in 2001. She has a special interest in diabetes management and care of women's health issues and has received numerous awards for patient satisfaction including Professional Research Consultants Five Star Award and 2010 Top Scoring Physician Award for Overall Quality of Doctor Care.

Recently Published Study Highlights Significant Improvement in Chronic Wound Care Options
Spiracur® Inc (Sunnyvale, CA), the developer of an ultraportable and disposable negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device, recently announced encouraging interim results from a clinical study highlighting the safety and efficacy of its SNaP® Wound Care System for the treatment of chronic lower extremity wounds. The 12-center randomized-controlled trial (RCT) was performed under the guidance of David G. Armstrong, DPM, MD, PhD; William A. Marston, MD; Alexander M. Reyzelman, DPM; and Robert S. Kirsner, MD, PhD. The purpose of the study was to compare the ultraportable mechanically powered SNaP (Smart Negative Pressure) Wound Care System to the traditional electrically powered Vacuum-Assisted Closure (V.A.C®) Therapy System in the treatment of chronic lower extremity wounds. The trial enrolled 65 patients with lower extremity wounds who were randomly assigned to treatment with either the SNaP or V.A.C Systems. The trial evaluated treatment for up to 16 weeks, or until there was complete closure of the ulcer. The results from this trial are important for those dedicated to healing wounds and preventing amputations, as the SNaP System offers an important tool for treating such chronic conditions. This technology may prove to hold substantial potential for patients requiring smaller NPWT treatment options.
Planned interim analysis of the first 65 patients from 12 centers found no significant differences in the proportion of subjects healed between the two devices evaluated or in percent wound size reduction. Non-inferiority was demonstrated between the two therapies in percent wound size reduction to the P

Study Shows dermaPACE® is More Effective Than HBOT in Healing Outcomes of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Sanuwave Health Inc (Alpharetta, GA) recently announced the publication of research conducted in Taiwan comparing the effectiveness of the company's dermaPACE® device with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in treating chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The study, entitled "Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Comparative Study of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy," by CJ Wang et al consisted of various key study findings. The dermaPACE device demonstrated significantly improved healing compared with HBOT (P =0.003). After one course of treatment, dermaPACE completely healed 24 ulcers compared with 10 ulcers that healed as a result of HBOT (2.4 times more). Following a second course of treatment, dermaPACE completely healed a combined 31 ulcers in comparison with 11 ulcers for HBOT (2.8 times more). After one course of treatment, a significantly greater number of ulcers treated with HBOT were unchanged in size and depth compared with ulcers treated with dermaPACE (P

Pluristem Therapeutics and NYU Medical Center Partner to Study Use of PLX Cells in Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Pluristem Therapeutics Inc (Aifa, Israel) and New York University (NYU) Medical Center (New York, NY) announced the formation of a partnership to study the use of Pluristem's proprietary placenta-derived PLX cells for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Weiliam Chen, RPh, PhD, Director of the Tissue Engineering Research Laboratory, Department of Surgery at NYU's Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Wound Healing Center, will be the principal investigator (PI) of these pre-clinical studies, which are the first step toward a future potential Phase II clinical study for treatment of DFU.
An in vitro model and a series of animal models will be used to evaluate the role PLX cells have in healing DFU. Through a novel academic industrial collaborative research paradigm, these trials, with proposed support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will be used as a bridge towards the potential treatment of patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetes affects over 170 million people worldwide and more than 20 million Americans with the prevalence expected to double by 2030. Chronic diabetic foot ulcers are the leading cause of lower extremity amputations and no new therapy for diabetic chronic wounds has been introduced into clinical use since 1998 and there is a critical unmet need for innovative therapies able to accelerate DFU healing, prevent amputation, and reduce associated morbidity and mortality. This partnership is important to developing an advanced cellular therapy as many diabetic patients have advanced atherosclerosis and have lower extremity vascular insufficiencies. Pluristem's PLX cells can stimulate angiogenesis, which is highly advantageous in treating diabetic chronic wounds. The PLX cells can also directly address cellular impairment in diabetic wounds leading to tissue regeneration in the wound beds.

National Alliance of Wound Care® Bestows First Advanced Credential in the Specialty of Diabetic Wounds
The National Alliance of Wound Care ([NAWC®] Glendale, WI) has awarded the first diabetic wound certified (DWC®) credential to the group of wound care candidates who successfully passed the DWC certification examination. The DWC is the first advanced wound care certification in the specialty of diabetic wounds. Diabetic wounds occur below the ankle and are caused from the effects of the disease. These wounds develop primarily from loss of sensation in the foot and also as a result of reduced blood supply. The forward thinking of the NAWC now affords the opportunity for thousands of clinicians certified in wound care to obtain an advanced certification in diabetic wounds. The NAWC estimates nearly 800 candidates will receive their (DWC) board certification in 2011. The DWC credential demonstrates a wound care professional's proficiency and mastery of essential knowledge and skills of diabetic wound management above basic wound care certification. Wound care professionals can now take their expertise, status, and careers to the next level with the DWC credential. The DWC is available to all wound care professionals who are currently wound care certified through a nationally accredited program.

Venous Health Systems Receives FDA Clearance to Commercialize Pneumatic Compression System
Venous Health Systems Inc (Portola Valley, CA), developer of solutions for treating vascular insufficiency by enhancing blood circulation, recently announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the Vasculaire™ Compression System in the United States. The compression system is a portable pneumatic device for treating vascular insufficiency. It features an innovative platform technology comprised of a fully portable pneumatic controller attached to a patented multi-cell compression sleeve. When the compression sleeve is placed on the patient's calf and foot and the controller is activated, the cells promote circulation with a sequential rapid inflation wavelike motion. The increase in venous velocity achieved using the system tests well within the range of values reported by the market-leading sequential pneumatic compression system. Without airlines or power cords, the system represents a long-awaited solution for the hospital, extended care facility, and home markets.
The new system delivers performance in a palm-sized unit directly attached to the patient's calf sleeve. Unlike other pneumatic compression devices, which can weigh up to 12 lbs, this system weighs less than 1 lb, thereby enabling patient mobility and potentially leading to increased patient compliance. The system is also used as a prophylactic therapy to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), as well as: enhancing blood circulation, reducing edema, diminishing post-operative pain and swelling, reducing wound healing time, the treatment of stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, and arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, and the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

Derma Sciences Receives FDA Clearance for Medihoney® Gel
Derma Sciences Inc (Princeton, NJ) recently announced receipt of 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company's patent-pending Medihoney® Gel Wound and Burn Dressing. This latest Medihoney line extension is dispensed from a tube and is comprised of Active Manuka (Leptospermum) honey blended with natural-based gelling agents. This is an important addition to the company's product offering and they expect the marketplace to embrace this new product as they strengthen category leadership. The gel will provide clinicians and patients with added versatility in their use of honey-based products for challenging wounds and burns. Because the product is blended with gelling agents, the honey is able to better maintain its physical integrity at the site of the wound, even in the presence of wound fluid and body heat. This will make for a more durable and lasting product, which is key in the management of chronic wounds. Importantly, its proprietary formulation utilizing natural gelling agents has a patent pending in the United States, which if granted, will further increase the company's IP around the brand. Derma Sciences will manufacture the new gel in its facility in Toronto. This is the fourth product in the expanding franchise, and will be launched into the market by the company's 20-person US sales force at all major annual wound conferences this spring.

Sage Introduces the Prevalon® Turn and Position System
Sage Products Inc (Cary, IL) is launching an innovative new system to help protect patients in the ICU from sacral pressure ulcers that will also help prevent staff injuries due to turning and repositioning patients. The Prevalon® Turn and Position System stays under the patient throughout the hospital stay to assist healthcare workers with turning, repositioning, and boosting. The system has three parts: the Low-Friction Glide Sheet, which moves with the patient to make turning easier; the Microclimate Body Pad, a disposable pad that is placed under the patient to manage heat and moisture; and two 30-degree Body Wedges to easily position patients for pressure redistribution and to offload the sacrum.
Risk factors for sacral pressure ulcers include reduced mobility, moisture, friction, and shearing. The turn system aids in preventing sacral pressure ulcers by offloading the sacrum. It manages moisture due to incontinence and other sources, in addition to helping minimize friction and shear on the patient.
Frequent turning and positioning is critical to preventing sacral pressure ulcers, but it can be challenging for healthcare staff. Repositioning patients is associated with increased risk of pain and injury to staff, especially to the back. The new system requires 71% less effort to turn a patient compared to traditional methods using a draw sheet and pillows. It decreases nursing time needed for turning, requires fewer nurses, and helps improve compliance to turning/repositioning protocols.

Abstract: The school psychologist who testifies as an expert witness in court or in administrative hearings is at a disadvantage unless he or she understands the purpose and role of an expert witness, the type of evidence useful to the court or administrative law judge, and strategies for enhancing testimony. Recognition of relevant legal and ethical issues also is necessary if the school psychologist is to protect the interests of the client and avoid personal liability. This review examines strategic and theoretical issues concerning privileged communications, assessment, and conduct in the courtroom. It explains the purpose of the deposition, direct examination, and cross-examination and addresses common mistakes made by expert witnesses. Strategies and issues specific to the due process hearing also are reviewed.

attribute_escape() shortcuts
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|security i18n
Description (last modified by ryan)
attribute_escape() is often forgotten on value attributes, especially on translated messages. Maybe some shortcuts would improve adoption. Use esc() as shorthand for atribute_escape() and add _e_esc() and _t_esc() which run translations through attribute_escape(), thus avoiding the need to do this: echo attribute_escape( __('Translated string') )

comment:11 @markjaquith — 6 years ago
I find this to be harder to remember. My inclination would be to standardize the function names but keep them memorable and more obvious.
Here is my suggestion:
- __ = translate return suffix
- _e = translate echo suffix
Stick all escaping functions into an "esc" class.
- attr()
- url()
- js()
- html()
- sql()
html(), js(), attr() would have __ and _e suffix versions too.
So it would look like:
esc::[context][optional translation suffix]( $input, [optional translation domain]);
<a href="<?php echo esc::url( $my_url ); ?>"><?php esc::html_e( 'My translatable string' ); ?>
It's still shorter, but it's obvious that escaping is going on, and which context is being used. People already know __() and _e() so we keep those as suffixes. This also puts all our escaping in one place, so that curious people can look there to see which contexts they should be escaping but might not be.
comment:12 @ryan — 6 years ago
Let's do it.
comment:13 @ryan — 6 years ago
xgettext might not like that format though.
comment:14 @ryan — 6 years ago
I can't get xgettext to recognize anything with a ::
comment:15 @Denis-de-Bernardy — 6 years ago
mm... in that case we'd want to use straight functions instead: esc_html_e(), etc.
comment:16 @link2caro — 6 years ago
- Cc tran.minhquan@… added
keep _e and at the beginning for better auto-completion if straight functions are used
comment:17 @link2caro — 6 years ago
comment:18 @markjaquith — 6 years ago
comment:19 @markjaquith — 6 years ago
link2caro, considered that, but _eattr_esc() isn't very clear. The leading underscore makes it ideal as a suffix. Also:
Maps well.
comment:20 @Viper007Bond — 6 years ago
Let's not forget about js_escape(). Worth renaming to esc_js() or similar?

Feds Want 'Black Boxes' in New Cars, But Who Will Be Tracking You?
Posted By Adan On December 9, 2012 @ 5:09 pm In Big Brother,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Mark Greenblatt
December 9, 2012
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would like to make it mandatory for automakers to install a so-called "black box" in all new cars and light trucks.
The devices, also known as event data recorders, have long been used by investigators to discover the root cause of commercial airplane crashes. In recent years however, automakers have quietly begun installing similar products in more and more cars.
Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray of Massachusetts found out the hard way last year.
However the black box installed in his car revealed to police he was actually driving unbelted while travelling faster than 100 mph. Police issued a $555 ticket to Murray as a result.
COMMENT: Infowars reported on this coming mandate for vehicle tracking more than a year and a half ago:
Kurt Nimmo (May 2011): Feds to Mandate Black Box on all New Cars
Paul Joseph Watson (April 2012): Mandatory 'Big Brother' Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015

Hilary Farr, star of HGTV's "Love It or List It."
- Filed Under
I'm on the phone with designer Hilary Farr - star of HGTV's "Love It or List It" - and I'm dying to know if she drinks.
Which isn't as random a question as it seems.
On her show, she meets with people who are unhappy with their homes. They give her a budget. She renovates their homes in an effort to get them to stay and love them - while her real estate agent friend and costar, David Visentin, tempts the unhappy homeowners with new houses in an effort to get them to list their homes and move. ...

Last season, we were disappointed at the astounding lack of diversity at New York Fashion Week, but it appears that progress was still made, and it's even worth crediting. The Diversity Coalition, led by former model Bethann Hardison has sent a more favorable update to the Council of Fashion Designers of America today based on this past September's shows.
In an e-mail to president Diane von Furstenberg and CEO Steven Kolb, the Diversity Coalition acknowledged the progress that certain fashion houses, such as Calvin Klein, Narciso Rodriguez, and The Row, have made, but cautioned, "The objective is to continue this improvement across the entire industry. We look for consistency and not because of advocacy or a season lending to darker skin. We will continue to watch and reveal season to season."
Her e-mail also noted: "It is important to say that there are design houses serviced by casting directors and stylists who are latent, as they seem comfortable with stereotypical images."
At WWD's request, Hardison was reluctant to give last season's progress a letter grade."Let's grade them after this collection," she said, "In our industry, we tend to follow things once we know they're OK."
Hardison sent e-mails critiquing the British Fashion Council, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, and the Fédération Française de la Couture as well. Anna Wintour, Miuccia Prada, Franca Sozzani, and Valentino are said to have earned praise from Hardison.
We admire the strides that have been made, but still remain skeptical when we look at the hard numbers. What we are sure of is that runway diversity will continue to be a hot topic as we embark on NYFW this Thursday, whether runways are monochrome or not.

USC Hires Former OC Steve Sarkisian As New Head Coach

Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — University of Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian has been hired to take the reins of the USC Trojans' football team.
Sarkisian, 39, was assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the Trojans under Pete Carroll for seven seasons and helped the team achieve a 74-15 record.
"I am extremely excited to be coming home to USC and for the opportunity that USC presents to win championships," Sarkisian said. "I can't wait to get started."
In 2009, the Torrance native took over as head coach for the Huskies, finishing with a 34-29 record over five seasons.
Sarkisian was a former quarterback at BYU and helped mold Trojan Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
He also was a shortstop on USC's baseball team in the fall of 1992 before transferring to El Camino Junior College, CBS Sports reported.
Sarkisian will replace interim head coach Ed Orgeron, who led the Trojans following the firing of Lane Kiffin after a disappointing start to the 2013 season.
The Trojans finished 9-4 following Saturday's loss to rival UCLA, 35-14.
While USC Athletic Director Pat Haden expressed interest in keeping Orgeron in the program in some capacity, "Coach O," as he affectionately became known to players and fans, announced his resignation on Monday.
"Words can't explain how I'm feeling right now … just lost a father. Way more than a coach," USC lineman Leonard Williams tweeted.
Haden had also interviewed Denver Broncos defensive coordinator and interim head Coach Jack Del Rio for the coaching spot.

Admiral Sir Peter Warren took Louisbourg in the West Indies from the French in 1745. A Member of Parliament for Westminster, (1747-52), his monument in Westminster Abbey is by Roubiliac. This portrait is one of three of Warren which, according to a payment made by his widow after his sudden death in July 1752, Hudson painted in 1751 or 1752 at a total cost of £114.19s; this sum probably included the frames. This frame to this portrait is of a style favoured by the artist in the 1750s and is a somewhat gauche English translation of a contemporary French frame type.
