Prevention and Treatment
There is not currently a human vaccine available to prevent Lyme disease, but standard precautions can greatly reduce the risk of becoming infected. Precautions include wearing light-colored long-sleeved shirts and pants, tucking pant legs into socks, wearing closed shoes, avoiding wooded and grassy areas especially in spring and early summer, using a tick repellant, checking for ticks after spending time outside, and removing ticks as soon as they are found. Pets should also be routinely checked for ticks.
Lyme disease is usually treated with oral antibiotics for 2-4 weeks. Some people may require intravenous antibiotics. In most cases, those with Lyme disease recover rapidly and completely. In some cases, especially with late-stage Lyme disease, some joint pain and neurological damage may persist. For more on Lyme disease treatment, see this CDC web page.
In about 10-20% of people treated for Lyme disease with the recommended course of antibiotics, symptoms including fatigue and joint and muscle pain linger, sometimes for more than 6 months. This has been given the name Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). Research is ongoing to better understand the cause of this syndrome. People should be aware that if their symptoms continue after treatment, they should contact their doctor to discuss ways in which to manage these symptoms. For more information, see the CDC's web page on PTLDS.

The utilization of diagnostic ultrasound by podiatric physicians has increased substantially over recent years. Diagnostic ultrasound offers musculoskeletal diagnostic opportunities, particularly for soft tissue pathology, is superior to standard radiographs and, in some instances, is equal to or superior to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, ultrasound guided interventions such as injections offer the potential of increased efficacy by virtue of increased accuracy of site directed therapies to sites of pathology.
However, the effectiveness of ultrasound is very much dependent on the use of proper technique and proper interpretation of the images obtained. The increased income derived from the office-based technology also makes diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided therapies attractive.
However, the potential for misuse and abuse of this modality is reflected in recent insurance carrier denials of billings by podiatric physicians for the employment of this modality, or the requirement for "certification" in diagnostic ultrasound by those wishing to employ and charge for the use of this modality.
The following alleged malpractice case illustrates the problem at hand. It also, in my opinion, calls for our profession to establish podiatry profession guidelines for the use of ultrasound and for podiatric certification.
The Case: When A High School Athlete Has Continued STJ Pain Despite Multiple Ultrasound Guided Injections
A high-level competitive high school athlete presented to a podiatric physician with medial ankle pain and swelling. The chart contains no examination (range of motion, gait evaluation, stress testing, anything). In lieu of any examination, the patient received a diagnostic ultrasound. The diagnosis via ultrasound was an anterior talofibular ligament injury although the chart indicated a diagnosis of deltoid ligament injury. The physician made an ultrasound guided injection to "the medial ankle gutter," utilizing a steroid injection and local anesthesia.
The patient returned three months later with "subtalar joint pain." Once again, there was no documented examination of any type whatsoever. Instead, a diagnostic ultrasound examination demonstrated "bursitis of the subtalar joint." The patient underwent another ultrasound guided injection.
Two weeks later, the patient returned with continued subtalar joint pain. Once again, with no clinical examination performed, an ultrasound examination revealed "subtalar joint bursitis" and the patient had another "ultrasound guided injection."
One week later, the patient returned with continuing subtalar joint pain. Again, there was no examination of any type. An MRI demonstrated a complete rupture of the posterior tibial tendon with 2.5 cm of gapping, partial thickness rupture of the deltoid ligament, and high-grade injury to the anterior talo-fibular and calcaneal-fibular ligaments.
The patient sought the care of an orthopedic surgeon and underwent surgery for the tendon rupture and ligamentous disruption.
The Problem: Substituting Ultrasound For A Physical Exam
Obviously, there was significant pathology, which the examining "podiatric ultrasonographer" did not diagnose. Compounding the failure to diagnose the actual pathology was the fact that these injuries occurred in a competitive, scholarship seeking, high-level athlete.
Were the ultrasounds properly performed? Were the ultrasounds properly performed but not properly interpreted?
Why would a physician substitute diagnostic ultrasound for any type of physical examination?
The training of this physician will be called into question. Are several hours with an ultrasound salesperson sufficient to represent to the public competency in the use and interpretation of ultrasound?
Our profession needs to set its own standards for the utilization of modalities such as diagnostic ultrasound. We are the foot and ankle experts and authorities. Do we need ultrasound to inject plantar fasciitis, a ganglion or Achilles tendon? Do we need ultrasound to inject a neuroma? Where is the literature to support the proposition that ultrasound guided injections provide superior outcomes to non-ultrasound guided injections in order to justify the significant increase in healthcare cost? I hear a lot of rationalizations for this at meetings and a lot of talk of increased income for the office. But where's the beef?
Our profession needs to provide its own mechanism for certification in this modality and needs to determine when diagnostic ultrasound is indicated. Our profession needs to set standards for training and certification in foot and ankle diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided therapeutic interventions. We must advance the science and at the same time protect against abuse and ineffective utilization of this modality.
Why not sound off about your ideas? Reflect on ultrasound a bit. Let's hear from you.

Ruthless, charismatic, and devastatingly handsome, Andres Sereno rules the small South American island of Kadeira with an iron first - and he has abducted the irresistible Sara Marsh to keep her out of harm's way. Of course, Andres has ulterior motives: He is determined to convince Sara that she cannot live without him. Blindsided by a sudden storm with no safe harbor in sight, Sara has no choice but to embrace the fierce warrior who holds her captive.
Though Andres tries to shield her from his violent side, Sara knows that she's tempting fate. Before risking everything, Sara must walk through fire and discover the strength within herself. Only then can she surrender to the primitive force of their desire.

Don Middlebrook: A Biography
Tuesday, 29 November 2011 11:19
Don Middlebrook and Living Soul bring us the Trop Rock sound from the west coast - the west coast of Michigan, that is!
A native of the cold north, Don reminds us that any coast can be home to the sounds of the sea. What started out as a musical vacation turned into a lifestyle as Don and the crew began touring up and down the Michigan coastline in 1991. Over twenty years, seven albums, and one stolen TV Guide later, the vacation is still going strong.
Don has opened for many famous musicians throughout the years, including the Doobie Brothers, Hall and Oates, Jefferson Starship, Meatloaf, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He also teamed up with Greg "Fingers" Taylor, the longtime harmonica player for Jimmy Buffett, and released two albums: Traveling Music and Changing Lanes. He has also been featured on the national PBS series The Backstage in 2004 and has had original compositions featured in a Showtime movie. He is also frequently a featured artist at the Common Ground and the Cheeseburger in Caseville music festivals in Michigan.
Don Middlebrook and Living Soul still perform over 150 shows annually throughout the United States, focusing on the Michigan area. Their latest album, Talespin, was released in 2011. You can read more about Don and Living Soul here at the official website. You'll be able to catch some of his Trop Rock tunes here at KBEC 1390 as well - just be sure to tune in Wednesday evening at 7 for the Gulf Coast Cowboy Hour!

They Might Be Giants, Moon Hooch
1332 W Burnside St.
[CABARET VOLTRON] Things were never easy for They Might Be Giants. Well before hyper-verbal, sub-fashionable successors like Barenaked Ladies coalesced staggering crowds around geek pride, Johns Flansburgh and Linnell had been uncomfortably grouped within the early '80s NYC art-punk scene simply because the sax-crazed vaudeville shtick of fez-topped outcasts belonged nowhere else. Their answering machine-jukebox "Dial-A-Song" racket petered out shortly before the Internet developed rather more lucrative iterations, and, after nearly a decade's worth of experimental wanderings and label disputes, their stalled career momentum couldn't have been helped by a 2001 comeback album's 9/11 release date. Through three decades of frustrated timing, though, the pair never stopped writing and, as gloriously proven through the scattershot goofiness of current release Nanobots, never quite matured.

A 20-second sound bite of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich addressing his team during a fourth-quarter timeout went viral on YouTube after Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night.
OKC Thunder: New Spurs battle cry is 'I want some nasty'
"Are we having fun yet?" Popovich begins. "I need a little bit more dose of nasty. I'm seeing a little bit of unconfidence, a little hesitation. It's not supposed to be easy. Every round gets tougher. Penetrate hard. Good passes. Shoot with confidence. I want some nasty."
The Spurs overcame a nine-point deficit in the final period to post a 101-98 victory at the AT&T Center.
The catch phrase immediately caught on locally.
Starting at 6 a.m. Monday, a local souvenir shop received a stream of requests for "I WANT SOME NASTY" T-shirts, although production could not begin until Tuesday morning because the printer was closed on Memorial Day.
A local Mexican restaurant now has a "Nasty" meal special.
Mercurial forward Stephen Jackson, a member of the 2003 world championship Spurs, defended three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant the entire fourth period of Game 1 and held him without a fourth-quarter field goal in the playoffs for only the third time in his career (0 for 2 from the field; 6 for 6 from the free-throw line).
Jackson spent 18 minutes of Game 1 on the floor with Durant, who went 1 for 4.
Popovich had a ready answer for Jackson's success: "Because Jack has no idea what he's doing, so neither does the offense."
The Milwaukee Bucks traded Jackson to Golden State on March 13. Two days later, the Spurs traded Richard Jefferson and a draft pick for Jackson.
"My first thought was, 'Why in the world am I doing this?'" Popovich said. "My second thought was, 'Well, maybe he might play well for us in the playoffs.' Thirdly, you like having him around. He has a great sense of humor and our guys love him."
San Antonio's Hall of Fame Big 3 of Tim Duncan (6 for 15) Tony Parker (6 for 15) and Manu Ginobili (9 for 14) combined for 60 points, 24 rebounds, 11 assists, nine turnovers and shot a combined 21 for 44 (. 477) from the floor Sunday. They played a season-high 24 minutes together.
OKC's Big 3 of Durant (8 for 19), Russell Westbrook (7 for 21) and James Harden (7 for 17) combined for 63 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 turnovers and a combined 22 for 57 (. 386).
How did Popovich think his team did against the Thunder's Big 3?
"Could have been better," Popovich said. "They're going to score, no matter what the defense is. You just try to do the best job you can, but there's no stopping those guys. You just try to make them work hard and limit them in certain situations."

Narrow your search
The updated iPod Touch remains a great portable media player and overall entertainment device, but its small screen feels like a throwback to an earlier era.
Sony's two new high-resolution Walkman models, the new compact H.ear NW-A25HN and high-end NW-ZX100HN, are announced at IFA.
Pricing not available
The Astell & Kern AK Jr marries classic design with class-leading sound, making it one of the best high-res players for the money.
The Phase One XF-IQ3 offers superb image quality for those with the budget to afford it and the patience to set up shots carefully.
The PonoPlayer is an inherently likeable portable music player that delivers excellent high-end sound, but its quirky design and lackluster battery life leave us waiting for the second generation -- or a price cut.
Available from the manufacturer.
If you're looking for a no-nonsense, great-sounding player the Cowon Plenue 1 is pretty hard to beat.
The Sony Walkman NW-ZX2 is a luxury portable high-res audio player with Android streaming apps, a premium build and excellent sound, but its high price may be too much for all but the most dedicated music lovers.
Standalone MP3 players are still in demand, and the NWZ-A17 Walkman is a portable player that features up to 30 hours of battery life while playing full 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution music.
The Walkman NWZ-WS613 is Sony's latest Bluetooth headphone that doubles as an MP3 player. This one includes a wireless remote you wear on your finger.
With its aluminium body, high-quality digital audio amplifier, and ability to play lossless audio files, the Sony NWZ-Z10 is an MP3 player for the dedicated audiophile that demands top-quality sound.

Tourists putting Utah in the rearview
My husband and I left Utah today (Sept. 30). We had visited in our motor home for two weeks, spending money at restaurants, gas stations, and RV parks all across the greater Salt Lake City area, Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, Antelope Island State Park, and Vernal.
Last Friday, we arrived in Moab. Enjoyed a glorious weekend hiking in Arches. Wanted to visit Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point, too, then head on to Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Escalante, and Snow Canyon near St. George.
We would have spent even more money at restaurants, gas stations, and RV parks across the southern half of Utah.
But today, we left for home. The RV park we were in was almost empty when we left.
Why? Because all those national parks in southern Utah will be closed as of tomorrow. Nobody knows when they will reopen.
And why is that? Wish I knew. Wish I could ask Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who teamed up with Texas Sen. Cruz to lead the charge in shutting down the government.
I imagine the businesses in and around Utah's national parks will have a few hard questions for Sen. Lee. Even if I can't.

A few days ago, representatives of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) revealed that a laptop containing the personal details of "some" employees was stolen from a staffer's locked car. The device was password protected, but the data stored on it was not encrypted.
NASA representatives told Computerworld that the incident was kept secret because during this time the agency was working with law enforcement to recover the laptop and precisely assess the extent of the breach.
It turns out that the personal information of at least 10,000 employees is stored on the missing computer.
Following the incident, NASA is determined to ensure that, by this Christmas, full disk encryption is set in place on all the agency's laptops. In the meantime, employees are banned from removing work laptops from the facility.

Dr. Paul Bernstein, Family Vision Care Associates (FVCA)
701 Westchester Ave
White Plains, NY 10604
Bernstein Center for Visual Performance
Externship Supervisor
Paul Bernstein, OD
Phone: (914) 948-0304 / (914) 682-8886
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Program Description
Family Vision Care Associates is a full-scope private practice emphasizing pediatrics and vision therapy. It is 1 of 3 private practices that is opening to students beginning in June 2009. As part of a project being funded by a grant from VSP, this externship will include a practice management component which will also emphasize a pediatric/vision therapy practice.
There are 4 doctors in this practice, all of them optometrists: Dr. Paul Bernstein, Dr. Ira Bernstein, Dr. Andrea Bernstein, and Dr. Paola Duarte. This is a full-scope practice, including an optical dispensary and specialty contact lens services.
All of the doctors provide vision therapy services, but Drs. Paul and Ira Bernstein are more involved in this aspect of the practice. Dr. Ira Bernstein has been in practice for over 40 years, and Dr. Paul Bernstein has been in practice for over 25 years. Both doctors are significantly involved in organized optometry and community-based activities. They are constantly networking with other professionals to build a network of referral sources and co-management opportunities.
The externs will be involved in all aspects of patient care. Roughly 1/2 of your clinical time would be spent with pediatric and vision therapy patients/activities. Vision therapy sessions are scheduled on 2 days per week. There are 2 vision therapists involved, and approximately 30-40 patients are seen for therapy per week.
The pediatric/vision therapy part of the externship will expose externs to an expanded competence in the treatment of children, especially those with learning-related issues. The extern will have the opportunity to enhance their clinical and patient management skills. The program will emphasize the complete patient care process, from the comprehensive examination through the implementation of a therapy program and communication with other professionals.
A minimum of 1 hour per week will be devoted to various practice management topics. These discussions will involve various members of the office staff, in addition to the doctors. The goal of this portion of the externship is to give the extern an opportunity to see a private practice in action and begin to understand the skills involved in building a successful specialty-oriented practice.

Contrary to what Lear Barduh had imagined, setting up a new religion is not easy, especially when you want to give it an oriental feel but Don't know how to play the pipes. His early days as a guru were hard-going but blessed was his meeting with Stella! The divine Kantahtriz has now become his muse, providing him with such inspiration that pop songs are literally exploding out of his mandolin, like supernovas floating up the cosmic river of pleasure.

Have you been feeling like October is a many armed amorphous blob, wiggling its way into every bit of your being?
Ok, so maybe it is just me.
October is one of my favorite months with tendrils of fog in the mornings, crisp leaves underfoot and the smell of sweet spices on winter squashes wafting from the kitchen. This one looks to be even more amazing than usual since the typical fall rains are holding off, leaving the colorful trees to be enjoyed just a bit longer.
October is one of the saddest when I think of people I love who have gone.
My mothers birthday, she should have been 93. I wish she would be 93.
Wish she could have met my daughters, made butterscotch with them, reassure them that these crazy financial times have happened before and the country got through them. But the reality is that she passed on at 75 without ever having met them. I get to keep the butterscotch tradition alive, and tell lots of stories about her and my Dad.
My first husband died in October. His death is the reason that I am a doctor now, with a depth of knowledge about how to heal using whole foods that I happily share here.
That is what October is to me, a recognition of the influences and impacts that create each one of us as unique individuals.
And for the rest of the world, October is a powerful month as well. No, not just because of Halloween either.
It is Celiac Awareness Month
It's Non-GMO month
It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
National Domestic Violence Awareness month
and National Apple Month,
But most of all it is October Unprocessed.
Once again Andrew Wilder from Eating Rules is challenging us to eat for an entire month only those foods that aren't highly processed.
I remember questioning Andrew in 2010 when he proposed the first blogger October Unprocessed.
Did freezing produce from our garden count as processing?
Did canning our own jam count?
Did making our own cheese count as processed?
Funny me, those are exactly the techniques he wants us to use. The ways that people have made a harvest last for millenia.
My past contributions to October Unprocessed have been my flour chart and a discussion of gums.
This year, I'll be discussing why the number of gluten intolerant people has been rising so fast.
So click on through to Eating Rules, Pledge now to join us for October Unprocessed.
If you tweet, we'll be using the #unprocessed tag.

Millar claims Kick-Ass 2 is a go
When I talked to Mark Millar, author of the Kick-Ass graphic novels about the sequel, he was waiting for the DVD and Blu-ray sales to help the studio and producers be convinced of the pros for a sequel, and now, it seems as if it has happened. On Radio 5 in the UK, Millar confirms the sales have been good enough and the sequel, which will again be based off of his new series Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall, is a go.
No date or anything, sadly, as the director Matthew Vaughn has been working on the X-Men: First Class prequel for a June 2011 date. Sounds kick-ass, no?

Thirty years ago, Karen Brown took her then-6-year-old daughter to get an eye exam. Because the mother of four had been suffering from headaches, she also decided to get her eyes checked.
Brown discovered she had glaucoma and soon learned it ran in her family. Within a year, two of her sisters were also diagnosed with the disease. Now her son has it. And recent tests showed her daughter has high eye pressure, a telltale symptom of glaucoma.
It is a family legacy that is the leading cause of blindness among Americans.
"I keep a positive attitude. You can't blame anyone," said Brown, 67, who lives west of Orlando. "If you know ahead of time that you're at risk of something like glaucoma, you just learn that you have to be proactive about your eyes."
There are an estimated 4 million Americans with glaucoma - although half don't know they have it. Early detection through regular screenings by a qualified medical professional is key to maintaining good vision.
"With the large numbers of older residents and our aging baby-boomer population in Central Florida and throughout the rest of the state, we know that the number of cases of glaucoma and other diseases will increase significantly," said Leslie Bailey, spokeswoman for Prevent Blindness Florida.
Her group recently kicked off a public-awareness campaign about glaucoma and the importance of getting tested, especially for those in high-risk groups - including people 40 and older or those with a family history of glaucoma. The disease is also more prevalent among African-Americans and Hispanics, who represent nearly half of the population in Orange County.
Glaucoma causes loss of sight by damaging a part of the eye called the optic nerve, which sends information from the eyes to the brain. When the optic nerve is damaged, peripheral vision begins to weaken. If left untreated, glaucoma can also damage central vision.
"They call it the 'sneak thief of sight' because it is a silent killer of vision," said Dr. Navid Vahidi of Central Florida Eye Associates in Orlando. "Like other degenerative diseases of the eye, you usually can't tell you have it until it hurts you."
At Vahidi's practice, 93 percent of patients have glaucoma.
Brown is among them.
Though some medications Vahidi prescribes to his patients help relieve the pressure in the eye, patients must follow a very strict dosage schedule.
"This is the most challenging aspect of treatment," said Vahidi. "Many people simply fail to follow their medication schedule. They don't understand how important it is to stick to it."
That was a lesson Brown learned early on.
"It's like a new baby: You have to watch the clock," she said.
Over time, glaucoma medications can lose their effectiveness, especially with patients in the advanced stages of the disease.
Through the years, Brown has endured multiple eye surgeries, been put on an eyedrop-medication regimen - some of which she had allergic reactions to - and been put on dangerous steroids.
The medications even changed the color of her eyes from hazel-blue to brown.
To Art Brown, her husband of 48 years, they're just as beautiful.
"She looks great," said the retired Army engineer who recently retired from Disney after 22 years in the engineering department. "She's been so positive. Sometimes she gets a little down, and it hurts me to see her go through rough time."
In the master bathroom of their home hangs an enlarged color photograph of the couple taken on the night they met. High-school sweethearts: She was 16; he was 18.
"Doesn't he look like Elvis?" she gushed. "He's helped me through this."
Karen Brown's glaucoma has become more aggressive over time, but as her husband attests, she remains optimistic.
"Glaucoma is not the end of the world. I think there will be a cure for it. There seem to be medical breakthroughs every day," she said. "You have to be willing to keep an open mind."

Serial killer nurse Charles Cullen speaks to 60 Minutes
- From: news.com.au
- April 30, 2013
- Charles Cullen has admitted to murdering up to 40 people
- Real figure could be in the hundreds
- Killing spree allowed to continue for 16 years
A CRITICAL care nurse turned serial killer who admits he murdered up to 40 patients has spoken publicly about his crimes for the first time in a chilling interview.
Charles Cullen killed his victims by injecting them with lethal drugs or poisoning their IV bags. He murdered patients for 16 years, shifting hospitals when his employers grew too suspicious.
"Forty is an estimate (of how many people I killed). I gave a number between 30 and 40. I think I have identified, you know, most of them," Cullen told CBS' 60 Minutes this week.
That may be a conservative estimate. Crime author Charles Graeber, who investigated the case for seven years, believes the real death toll from Cullen's crimes could be in the hundreds. The US media dubbed him "The Angel of Death".

Actually happens more commonly than people think. Even in Australia, nurses often kill their patients because simply because they don't like their job. A lot of my friends are from medical backgrounds, they often talk about things like this and how their hospital just covers it up.

sick sick individual. I hope he has a terrible time in prison as someone's b*tch.. Joe Wilson.. why doesn't your 'friend' blow the whistle then? Hospitals should not be allowed to think it's okay and cover up murders... it's a CRIME..

Steve of Sydney Posted at 12:22 PM April 30, 2013
This happens all the time & the state government seems to allow it. They would rather you dead than in a bed as it makes their figures look better with waiting lists. That's why they kick you out the day of an operation now - you dying as a result is not an issue - its about hospital bed numbers.

Is somehow a misguided mercy killing, not necesarilly because they don"t like their job but they feel they are putting terminally ill people out of their misery.

Joe Wilson of Melbourne - you and your friends are DELUSIONAL! Often kill their patients? OFTEN? Where exactly are you getting your statistics?! What proof do you have? Nurses in this country dedicate their time and lives to saving other peoples lives and you come out with this dribble because of one (who received psychiatric attention) bad egg? Please...how insulting to Nurses across Australia. Go away.

You are trying to make sense of a psychopaths rationale using your own minds, thats not going to happen, you simply do not think like he does and stop with the conspiracy theories that this happens a lot, nurses are underpaid and deal with plenty of crap at work, they dont need you morons claiming they do this a lot.

Mandy of Melbourne Posted at 12:51 PM April 30, 2013
Joe I agree with some of what you said, also I know for a fact that many private hospitals cut corners because for them it's all about making money. Families generally don't request inquiries when patients die under hospital care. An inquiry was requested at a private hospital my friend worked at recently and a whole team of management was sacked for indirectly causing death, knowingly and then covering it up. But the thing is, it's been happening for years!

Observer of Sydney Posted at 12:59 PM April 30, 2013
Maybe not reporting it years ago meant losing your job, but with social media you could put the message out there as soon as possible if they threatened to fire you. I would risk it, so many lives could have been saved. The hospitals are to blame, not just this dude.

Emily Smithe of Adelaide Posted at 1:13 PM April 30, 2013
I am disgusted that the hospitals did not do anything about this when they clearly knew something was not right. I am more horrified that they gave him good references!! Joe you are a disgrace to this Country and how dare you give nurses a bad name just because you want to bend the truth a little bit for a good story. Shame on you, you disgusting creature!

Psychopath. Absolutely no empathy or remorse. Talks about it like killing 40 people is a casual thing. Pure evil.
Comment 13 of 15
Nurse of NSW Posted at 2:07 PM April 30, 2013
I know it sometimes goes on in nursing homes when someone is close to death, to speed the process up, but in all my time have never heard it happening in main stream hospitals, Joe Wilson. Nursing home patients will sometimes go unconscious before death and can be that way for 2-3 weeks before finally passing. That 2-3 weeks basically causes them to starve to death, not to mention the dehydration that goes with it, because all treatment is withdrawn. Doctors will sometimes give them a therapeutic dose of morphine 'to keep them comfortable', knowing that a particular dose wouldn't hurt the average person, but will cause the demise of the very frail. I don't have an issue with that because I wouldn't want my loved one to be left in a limbo state like that which would be extremely traumatic to both the patient and their loved ones.

Villainsoft of Sydney Posted at 2:33 PM April 30, 2013
It's easy to call someone a monster, but thats just a way to categorize something you don't understand. We have problem with someone acting in such a way, but we allow others to put bullets in the heads of people who we perceive as our idealogical enemies.

Single Ladies – Why You Deserve to Wait for Mr. Right
As I driving in this morning, something kept rolling around in my head. Something that screamed, "hey you need to write about this". I realized that there are a lot of single ladies all over Amarillo, and the world for that matter who just want to be loved and want a companion. Sometimes, we as women, settle because we are lonely and just want to be loved. We tend to settle for those who give us attention even though most of the time it isn't good attention. It is time to stop settling and realize you deserve that true love and that man who will treat you with respect and give you all the love in the world.

Preventing Plagiarism
Design Assignments to Prevent Plagiarism
Discuss Plagiarism with Your Class
- Include a definition in your syllabus.
- Have students talk or write about the ethical implications.
- Inform them of the consequences.
- Model proper citation strategies.
- Present them with examples of plagiarism and show how to correct them.
- Require students to present you with copies of articles and brief selections from books. These should be marked or highlighted. (Students should be informed of this requirement early on).
- Require multiple drafts, and that students include earlier drafts with later submissions.
Other recommended practices:
- Clarify how much collaboration is allowed.
- Avoid completely open choice of topics.
- Avoid common topics (e.g., abortion, the death penalty)..
- Use class discussion as a starting point.
- Specify the number and kind of sources needed.
- Use staged assignments, for instance asking for 3 newspaper articles one class, 2 Reference book articles for the next, 3 scholarly articles for the next, etc.
- Require oral presentations where students must demonstrate understanding of the topic.
Include Library Instruction
- Make sure that students have topics prior to the instruction.
- Have an assignment due immediately after the library instruction, e.g., a working bibliography.
- The NMSU Libary has posted a Sample Assignment that Integrates Library Instruction.
- NMSU Library Tips for Creating Effective Library Assignments.

Artist Of The month: Emblem3
So... Emblem3 released an album three days ago and I've been playing the album on repeat since then. "Nothing To Lose" is the name of the first album by the band Emblem3.
The band was formed in 2007 and consists of brothers Wesley Stromberg, Keaton Stromberg and their good friend Drew Chadwick. They were part of the 2012 X Factor U.S.A. and finished 4th in the competition.
Even though they didn't win I think they are the real winners, they have won a lot of fans and they are on tour with the band MKTO (I have already talked about them, i just love them)
The album Nothing To Lose was released on July, 30th on the hand of Columbia Records and it's already part of the charts, the first single of the album was "Chloe (You're The One I Want)", which was part of my Song Of The Day two weeks ago, and it was released on April 15th.
Their songs are very catchy and the music just makes you want to dance and forget about the world.
Emblem3 "Chloe (You're The One I Want)" Official video:

They are going to take over the world.
