Army Reserve Major Charles G. ("Chuck") Boenig, PharmD, had read the literature: when pharmacists help care for the critically ill, patients prosper. But during his second tour in Afghanistan, that academic knowledge was quickly put to the test.
"I hadn't even been there for 24 hours when I was told I would be working on the trauma team," Maj. Boenig told Pharmacy Practice News. "This was not something I had ever done before, but boy, did I learn fast."
Overseeing drugs administered by trauma surgeons, managing medications in cardiac arrest "crash carts" and even working the defibrillator to administer shocks to coding patients were just a few of the clinical duties that Maj. Boenig had to master.
"I guess some pharmacists would be satisfied sitting back and just giving out medications," he said. "But in Afghanistan, that wouldn't have worked. This was a far-forward position with limited resources, and anyone with clinical skills had to quickly become an integral part of the critical care team."
The location, at Forward Operating Base Salerno, Afghanistan, underscores how different this deployment was for Maj. Boenig. During his first tour, he explained, he worked in a Level 3 Combat Support Hospital that was part of Bagram Air Base. Most of the hospital was located in tents, with 24 beds that were expandable to 42 as needed.Salerno, in contrast, started out "as a real lean, mean surgical outfit, where patients got the care they needed and then moved on," he said. "There really was no holding capacity."
Longer-term care was needed for the injured or seriously ill U.S. and Coalition soldiers as well as Afghanis, he said, in part because "the operations tempo of the war had increased pretty dramatically." So just prior to his tour, Maj. Boenig noted, the Army decided to "2-plus" the forward-positioned hospital and significantly expand available services. "They added in functions such as laboratory testing, expanded radiologic services such as a CT [computed tomography] scanner, and they also 'plussed up' the personnel to include me, a pharmacist, along with one pharmacy technician." The Salerno facility also now had holding capacity—about nine beds for long-term care.
Trauma Care Detailed
The call to join the trauma team was by far the biggest change in duty, Maj. Boenig stressed. As for the type of patient care he helped provide, it was typical for a combat zone—or at least, typical for Afghanistan in the era of the improvised explosive device (IED).
"The first time I was deployed, the Afghan insurgents had not yet discovered IEDs," Maj. Boenig said. "During this last tour, these devices were unfortunately very common—usually in the form of roadside bombs—and the trauma they can cause is horrible."
The pharmacist's role in treating patients wounded by IEDs most often focused on supportive drug therapy, he noted. For example, patients with crushing limb wounds and/or body trauma were given antibiotic therapy to prevent postsurgical infections. Those with severe head wounds could be given mannitol, a sugar/alcohol solution that can be effective in reducing brain swelling.
But when Maj. Boenig first arrived at Salerno, he found some problems with the way medications were being managed. "There were a lot of drugs in the trauma area, but only a few of them were really needed," he said. "Pharmacy is not a free-for-all; I didn't like the lack of oversight of medication use at such stressful times, so I changed that practice. Not only did this help streamline care, it also reduced opportunities for error."
Why was that such an important initiative for pharmacy? "I was there as a medication expert, but I can't offer that expertise if nobody is consulting with me on the use of drugs," he explained. "I needed to take control of the medication process, review the medications administered prior to arrival, and then when appropriate, make recommendations and changes to the regimens to ensure safety and efficacy."
Maj. Boenig added that it was not just his own "take" on what medications were needed in a given situation. The Army has protocols for the most common trauma-related medications, not only for antibiotic prophylaxis, but also for factor VIIa in cases of severe bleeding, he noted. "There are detailed instructions for how these drugs get administered, how they are dosed, how we determine when to use them, etc."
It didn't take long for the other caregivers in the Salerno facility to begin relying on Maj. Boenig's medication management skills, with the crash cart being a prime example. "After one of the first codes I ever did, more than one nurse, including the chief nurse, came up to me and said how good it was to have someone who took care of the code cart because it let her and the rest of the trauma team focus more on the patient," he said. "If they needed a pressor drip, I could make it right there at the bedside; they didn't have to wonder about how much to put in, how to compound it, etc. I could hand over medications such as atropine, epinephrine and calcium chloride, all prepared and ready to go for administration. And when we had pediatric patients coding, I had a copy of the Broselow chart so I could make sure that I knew how to make the right dosage adjustments."
But when a more hands-on approach was needed, Maj. Boenig was ready for service. "I'm not certified in advanced cardiac life support, but I quickly learned how to work a LIFEPACK 12 defibrillator."
What was it like to "shock" a patient for the first time? "Well, you kind of hesitate, but when you hear a trauma physician telling you to defibrillate the patient and then everybody kind of just stops what they're doing and looks at you, there's really no place to hide; you do your part for the trauma team."
Having the life of a trauma patient literally in your hands brought home, in real terms, "how incredibly needed" pharmacists are in critical-care situations, Maj. Boenig said. "I've read articles describing how more and more pharmacists are being used in emergency departments," he explained. "But I didn't appreciate just how valuable a team member we can be until I experienced this myself."
A Few Good Pharmacists
How did Maj. Boenig join the Army Reserves as a pharmacist? "I was at a point in my career where I'd done hospital and retail pharmacy, and also was the director of the dispensary in a free health clinic for a couple of years. I was looking for a new challenge, so I got commissioned 10 years ago, at age 38."
Maj. Boenig said he chose the Army because of the high demands it places on clinical personnel.
"Don't come into the Reserves and expect to get called up to work at Walter Reed [Army Medical Center] or in the Office of the Surgeon General," he said. "That does happen, but make no mistake: your mission as a pharmacist or a pharmacy technician in the Reserves is to deploy and potentially serve in a combat zone. So when we train on weekends, we train to deploy."
That training does touch on some clinical skills. "But it also involves soldiering skills," Maj. Boenig said. "We have to know how to react to hostile fire and how to lay down a field of fire, when appropriate. We even train how to evacuate a HumVee after a rollover."
Army reservists also are trained to develop something called "situational awareness"—the ability to be tuned into your surroundings to detect threats. Those skills were not top-of-mind when Maj. Boenig was caring for patients in the main Salerno facility. But the time came when those soldiering skills were in fact needed.
Directly outside the gate of the American hospital, he explained, there was an Afghan gate, and in the intermediary zone, a clinic had been built for treating injured or ill local Afghanis. "When you drove into that middle zone, you had to have your full body armor on, you had to have your weapon and you definitely had to have your situational awareness on high alert, because the threat risk increased dramatically."
Hearts and Minds
Making that excursion, although risky, proved to be one of the most rewarding aspects of Maj. Boenig's latest tour of duty. When he first arrived at the Afghani clinic, he said, the local physicians had almost no resources and only a minimal understanding of how to provide medications and care to patients.
"Basically, I had to build a pharmacy from scratch, with desks, shelves, etc. Then I had to stock it with medications from the local economy and teach the staff how to create and then maintain a basic drug formulary."
Those efforts triggered an interest in American pharmacy practice that was so strong among the Afghani physicians—many of whom were working as translators—that Maj. Boenig set up a one-day training program that covered even more aspects of medication management. "I taught them how to compound sterile IV admixtures, how to calculate pediatric and adult drug dosages, how to determine diluents and infusion times, and how to counsel patients about the administered drugs," he said. "They were absolutely fascinated by all of this, and really were great students."
Another initiative that Maj. Boenig said he was particularly proud of was the creation of a tetanus vaccination program. All Afghan patients who came into the hospital with traumatic injuries would get a tetanus vaccination, which was usually the first one they had ever received. "I had one of our medics teach me how to administer the tetanus shots, so basically I just drew it up in a syringe and it I'd stick the patients and say, 'tetanus given' and then step back from the table."
But the vaccination program didn't stop there. In many cases, Maj. Boenig said, patients who had been vaccinated came back to an outpatient clinic in the hospital weeks or months later for follow-up. That's when he realized that he needed to create a system for administering and tracking booster vaccinations.
"One shot does not confer immunity; they needed the entire series," he explained. So, working with an Army doctor, he established a vaccination series for both adults and children, and then had a local printer make up cards that said in the local language, "Tetanus Record."
"We gave the cards to the patients when they left the hospital and said, 'If you ever see any doctor, if you ever come to a U.S. hospital or facility, bring this card,' with the hope that they could continue this series and build immunity for tetanus."
A Few Caveats
For pharmacists thinking of joining the Reserves, Maj. Boenig offered a few caveats. "The Reserves didn't repay my student loans, they don't pay you very much money, and if you join, you owe them significant time—for me, it was eight years," he said. "But what they do give you is the opportunity to serve your country and work to save lives with some of the most talented, dedicated people that you will ever meet."
Maj Boenig also pointed to the stress that comes from prolonged deployments. "You will have to be mentally and physically ready to leave, sometimes on short notice, and your family has to be prepared for you to be away from home for quite a while," he said.
During his first tour, Maj. Boenig was gone for six months. During his latest tour, he was gone for one year. Although he was able to come home for one visit, other, more creative strategies were sometimes needed to keep the family connection strong.
"I actually participated in a parentteacher teleconference call during my last tour," he said. "I'm not sure how much good it did—it can be frustrating to not be able to step in and be there physically for your loved ones—but you do what you can."
Maj. Boenig said he always tries to take away life lessons from his tours of duty, summed up in mottos. "During my first tour, my motto was, 'Work the Problem," because there sure were a lot of them and they could overwhelm you if you let them," he said. "This time around, my motto was, 'You Can Always Do More.' When I felt tired or frustrated, I repeated that motto and it really helped me get through some tough times."
The bottom line for being an Army Reserves pharmacist? "This is an incredibly valuable service that we provide—one that we should all be proud of."

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Desmond Bishop is back in the NFL.
The Arizona Cardinals have signed the inside linebacker – and 2002 Fairfield High graduate – to a one-year contract.
Bishop, entering his eighth NFL season, played in four games for the Minnesota Vikings last year, one as a starter, before his season was ended by a knee injury. He spent his first six NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
"I'm definitely confident, but the thing about it is, I don't really want to talk about it," Bishop told azcardinals.com. "I just want to go do it. A lot of it is, 'How do you feel?' I say, 'I feel great. I'm strong, still quick.' There's no way you can simulate a football game. If it's basketball, you can go anywhere in the country and go shoot around at the gym. In football, there's no simulation for it. The only way to do it is to do it."
In 2011, Bishop had a career-high 142 tackles, 109 solo, and five sacks. He started on the Packers' Super Bowl championship team in the 2010 season. For his career, Bishop has played in 73 games, 23 as a starter, with 318 tackles, 230 solo, nine sacks, seven forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception.
Bishop has played both inside and outside linebacker. Coach Bruce Arians says the Cardinals will use him as an inside linebacker.
"He is a guy we have had our eye on for a long time," Arians told azcardinals.com.
Bishop is Fairfield High's all-time leading rusher with 2,407 yards and led the Falcons to the 2001 Sac-Joaquin Section Division I title game.
He later starred at City College of San Francisco and the University of California before being selected in the sixth round of the 2007 draft by the Packers.
Bishop had eight tackles, six of them solo and three for loss, as well as a key fumble recover in Green Bay's 31-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
However, he later missed the team's visit to the White House because he had left his ID on the team plane.
According to azcardinals.com, Bishop feels his experience will be a plus as he gets acclimated to his third NFL team in three years.
"The defense is similar to what I've learned over my career," Bishop said. "I think that puts me ahead of the curve a little bit. Knowing offenses and knowing the ins and outs of football, it helps me tremendously."

Literature and the visual arts have fed off of each other for as long as the two have existed. It should be no surprise to anyone reading this that the evocative imagery of the works of Edgar Allan Poe have been complemented with illustrations numerous times in their publication history. This includes several of his short stories collected as Edgar Allan Poe's World of Fear in a 1969 issue of Weekly Shōnen Magazine, a Japanese comic anthology (note the Japanese toy ads at the bottom of the image).
The most iconic illustrations, however, come from the edition of Tales of Mystery and Imagination illustrated by Harry Clarke (the Providence Athenaeum has a copy). Both of the illustrations included depict the climax of Poe's short story The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar which, while not the most well-known of Poe's works, is visually distinctive, and really shows the difference in the two art styles.

He's already producing a water-soluble graphene ink (as well as other graphits and graphene products) and has a series of videos about its uses (as well as videos on how to make it all using kitchen/hardware-store tech). The perks look reasonable - basically you get the ink and his ebook at discount. I love this kind of outside-the-institutions research, he takes a much straighter line from problem to solution.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, last week, is awake, according to CNN.
I've had this thought in the back of my my head since that shooting that Hasan's alleged actions go beyond murder — that his cowardly surprise attack on our soldiers and civilians warrants him facing trial for treason against the United States of America.
I say this with some trepidation as I am not a lawyer, just a writer. The most frequent use of the word "treason" these days is in poorly written speeches and hatchet jobs by political operatives. I do not know the legal test that would determine if the charge of treason is warranted in this case, which is why I'm asking. (And I'm not the only person asking)
Let's start with the Constitution. Article III, Section 3, lays out the rules for what constitutes treason:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
I look at those lines and I think the words "levying War" applies rather clearly. But still I am not sure. So here is what U.S. Law says, according to the Cornell University School of Law's Code Collection:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
So, again, we've got "levies war." Also, now that I think of it, physically harming the U.S. military in this fashion does sound like "Aid and Comfort" to me. So I'm really leaning toward "yes, charge him with treason" at this point.
What do you think?
Note: I found some of this source material from the Wikipedia page on treason.

December 1, 2015
A small, southern Kentucky child is suffering from very serious burns at a Cincinnati hospital.
Investigators say the 4 year old boy set himself on fire inside his Laurel County home on Campbell Road in the Lily community.
Phil Pendleton spoke with the Dustin Mederos family about what happened and the long road to recovery the child now faces.
The family of the 4 year old says they think this was just a terrible accident. Dustin Mederos somehow got a hold of his mother's lighter and set his shirt on fire.
The boy's mother says she was cooking Sunday night when Dustin got a hold of the lighter and was trying to burn a tag off his shirt.
But he caught his entire shirt on fire which caused second and third degree burns all over his body.
The injuries were so serious that a helicopter was called to take the boy to UK Hospital, but about 2 o'clock this morning Dustin was taken on to Shriner's Hospital in Cincinnati, which specializes in burns.
Dustin now has burns covering nearly 50 percent of his body and his mother says he will require a number of skin grafts.
He's expected to hospitalized for at least several weeks.
His mother says Dustin is heavily sedated and that he will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
Police were notified of the incident but the Laurel County Sheriff says they are not investigating.

Just got my copy of volume 06 and was blown away by the wonderfully detailed workmarship of Tyler Rourke's recreation of the Eintein Amplifier.
Aside from the extremely detailed chassis work the rest of the amp does not seem to use many exotic or hard to find parts (I can readily identify a 5U4 rectifier, two Sovtek 2A3 power tubes, etc.). I am an engineer and tube tech and this amp could be easily built on a breadboard in a week' or so of evening work.
Could Make ask Tyler to share the schematics with the rest of the maker community? This would be a wondeful way to keep alive both Einstein's memory and his appreciation of music (he was a skilled amateur violin player) as well as that of the engineer who designed it for him.
Feedback welcome,

I loved this article, as I'm a huge tube audio nut. But there were no details about the actual circuit! Any chance of having some details posted, such as what tubes were used, operating voltages, transformer details, etc.? Or better yet, how about seeing a schematic?

Just a bump to add my interest to the request for schematics and photos of internals. I'd love to make one of my own!
Thanks very much indeed.

The Indecency of Barack Obama
Jay Bergman • February 14, 2012 • Uncategorized
In all I have read condemning Obamacare for requiring Catholic institutions, through the health insurance of their employees, to provide contraceptives and abortifacients that Catholicism considers anathema, I am not aware of anyone questioning why they should be given free of charge while medicines that treat actual diseases, some potentially fatal, have to be paid for or require co-payment.
Why should the morning-after pill be free while antibiotics, such as penicillin, or anti-cancer drugs, such as Tamoxifin, cost money? Do President Obama and his HHS Secretary consider preventing contraception and destroying fetuses a greater social good than saving the lives of human beings once they are born? Evidently they do.
But of all the actions for which President Obama can be criticized, his support as a state senator in Illinois, which he has never disavowed, of infanticide — of the killing of babies that have survived abortions — may be the most despicable. An article by Andy McCarthy, reprinted below, that appeared recently at National Review Online supplies the gruesome details.
Barack Obama is an indecent man.
When Obama Voted For Infanticide
By Andrew C. McCarthy
February 9, 2012 5:20 P.M.
What I personally find most offensive about the HHS mandate is the shock with which it has been met. Why? This is who Barack Obama is. There is no reason to be surprised by this. He is not being pulled to extremes by his base — he is the one doing the pulling.
Obama's abortion extremism is such that, as a state legislator, he opposed protection for — I'll use his words here — "that fetus, or child — however way you want to say describe it" when, contrary to the wishes of the women involved and their abortionists, there was "movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead." Babies were inconveniently being born alive, self-styled health-care providers carted them off to utility rooms where they would be left to die. That is infanticide, plain and simple. In Illinois, people tried to stop this barbarism by supporting "born alive" legislation. Barack Obama fought them all the way.
That is not a secret. The Obamedia, of course, refused to cover it while they were running down Sarah Palin's third-grade report card. The clueless John McCain failed to bring any attention to it. But it was far from unknown. I wrote about it in August 2008, and I was far from alone — at least among conservatives. My column was called, "Why Obama Really Voted For Infanticide: More important to protect abortion doctors than 'that fetus, or child — however way you want to describe it'":
There wasn't any question about what was happening. The abortions were going wrong. The babies weren't cooperating. They wouldn't die as planned. Or, as Illinois state senator Barack Obama so touchingly put it, there was "movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead."
No, Senator. They wouldn't go along with the program. They wouldn't just come out limp and dead.
They were coming out alive. Born alive. Babies. Vulnerable human beings Obama, in his detached pomposity, might otherwise include among "the least of my brothers." But of course, an abortion extremist can't very well be invoking Saint Matthew, can he? So, for Obama, the shunning of these least of our brothers and sisters — millions of them — is somehow not among America's greatest moral failings.
No. In Obama's hardball, hard-Left world, these least become "that fetus, or child — however you want to describe it."
Most of us, of course, opt for "child," particularly when the "it" is born and living and breathing and in need of our help. Particularly when the "it" is clinging not to guns or religion but to life.
But not Barack Obama. As an Illinois state senator, he voted to permit infanticide. And now, running for president, he banks on media adulation to insulate him from his past.
The record, however, doesn't lie.
Infanticide is a bracing word. But in this context, it's the only word that fits. Obama heard the testimony of a nurse, Jill Stanek. She recounted how she'd spent 45 minutes holding a living baby left to die.
The child had lacked the good grace to expire as planned in an induced-labor abortion — one in which an abortionist artificially induces labor with the expectation that the underdeveloped "fetus, or child — however you want to describe it" will not survive the delivery.
Stanek encountered another nurse carrying the child to a "soiled utility room" where it would be left to die. It wasn't that unusual. The induced-labor method was used for late-term abortions. Many of the babies were strong enough to survive the delivery. At least for a time.
So something had to be done with them. They couldn't be left out in the open, struggling in the presence of fellow human beings. After all, those fellow human beings — health-care providers— would then be forced to confront the inconvenient question of why they were standing idly by. That would hold a mirror up to the whole grisly business.
Better the utility room. Alone, out of sight and out of mind. Next case.
Stanek's account enraged the public and shamed into silence most of the country's staunchest pro-abortion activists. Most, not all. Not Barack Obama.
My friend Hadley Arkes ingeniously argued that legislatures, including Congress, should take up "Born Alive" legislation: laws making explicit what decency already made undeniable: that from the moment of birth — from the moment one is expelled or extracted alive from the birth canal — a human being is entitled to all the protections the law accords to living persons.
Such laws were enacted by overwhelming margins. In the United States Congress, even such pro-abortion activists as Sen. Barbara Boxer went along.
But not Barack Obama. In the Illinois senate, he opposed Born-Alive tooth and nail.
The shocking extremism of that position — giving infanticide the nod over compassion and life — is profoundly embarrassing to him now. So he has lied about what he did. He has offered various conflicting explanations . . .
There is more here, including the relevant portion of the legislative record, in which Obama makes his position, and his extremism, crystal clear.
Again, this is not new news. The transcript is from ten years ago. He has done nothing since but confirm — by his positions, speeches, associations, and presidential appointments — that he is still exactly the same guy. Obama's horrifying stance in favor not only of abortion but of infanticide was known when 54 percent of Catholics and 53 percent of Protestants supported him for election in 2008, and when such leading Catholic institutions as Notre Dame and Georgetown welcomed him with open arms.
That is what we ought to find shocking. Obama, by contrast, should no longer shock anyone. Obama is simply doing what he came to do; what he said he was going to do when he promised to "fundamentally transform the United States"; and what anyone with a shred of common sense would have predicted he'd do upon scrutinizing his record.

West Mifflin native Joncelyn Peterkin living her basketball dream in Latvia
College Football Videos
West Mifflin native Joncelyn Peterkin has had trouble figuring out how many lats she'll need at the local grocer — not to mention the fact that some of those lats are being siphoned away from her on a monthly basis just because she opened a checking account.
All quirky parts of the adjustment process in moving to an Eastern European country. But one thing Peterkin seemingly has had relative little difficulty adjusting to is playing professional basketball.
The 6-foot-2 Peterkin, a Point Park University alum, is the second-leading scorer for Liepajas Papirs 10 games into the LSBL season in Latvia.
"For this being my first pro, overseas experience, I don't think it could be going any better," Peterkin said via email.
Just to suit up for a professional team and get paid to play the sport she loves was the fulfillment of dream for the 22-year-old Peterkin, who was named to the Daily News Fabulous 15 team after leading West Mifflin to the 2008 WPIAL Class AAA championship game.
"At times it still seems so surreal," Peterkin said. "I'm actually halfway across the world, experiencing a whole new way of living and doing one of the things I love most — and that's playing basketball."
After posting 725 points, 556 rebounds and a school-record 192 blocks during her three years at Point Park, Peterkin this past summer took part in an overseas scouting combine camp in Las Vegas and signed with an agent.
Offers came in from outposts such as Bulgaria and Slovenia before Peterkin and her agent settled on the opportunity with Liepajas Papirs in early October. Within a week, she was on a plane to Latvia for the season opener Oct. 13.
"I think what happened in Jocelyn getting noticed last year was we were second in the nation overall in points per game given up ... and she was one of the main reasons," Point Park coach Tony Grenek said.
"And the other thing about her is she's 6-2 and so long and lean. We played man-to-man, and she's very capable of stepping out and guarding a guard. She's not just a post player; she's athletic enough to go do that, which was very beneficial for us."
Peterkin is averaging 10.8 points and team highs in rebounds (9.7) and blocks (1.3) per game. She's averaging 31.2 minutes per contest heading into the regular-season finale.
Peterkin, who transferred to Point Park after spending her freshman year at Carlow, originally had career aspirations to be a sports agent. A sports and entertainment management major, Peterkin also is considering grad school at some point.
She has done some modeling and might pursue that more seriously if and when her playing career ends. While coaching is an option because it would keep her involved with basketball, don't look for Peterkin to stop playing anytime soon.
"My career goals are to accomplish the most that I can out of basketball during my time playing, whatever that is," Peterkin said.
"I just love the game so much. But I guess only time will tell."
The Liepajas Papirs regular-season finale is Saturday. Peterkin plans on returning home after the season ends but will return to the club — or another overseas team that wishes to sign her — when a new season begins.
"It has always been one of my dreams to play professional basketball," Peterkin said. "And surprisingly, that dream became a reality."

['From oar own CorreaDoadenbl
LONDON. September 23.
The newspapers of Tuesday last announced cha death of tba eminent oxploror, admini strator, statesman, and Imperialist Radical
tauowlves with the statement that hi* lifo had slowly ebbed away, but the 'Daily Chronic!*' published detail* of his last fllneu. which will hare a melancholy interest for his numerous friends, admirers, and acquain tances in Australasia: — '.The sad event took place at half-past 10 o'clook last night at the Norfolk Hotel, South Kensington. When Sir George finally returned to Eazlani nearly tire years since he lived fine in Park-place, St. James's. Then he went to South Kensington, and the Norfolk Uotcl has baon hid honao for the past year or two. At will bo recalled. Lady Grey died only a fortnight ago at Bourneaoutb, where she had gM3 for change of air. Now her disttaiuuhud. hu-ibond has passed away at the rips aja of eightv-aix. Ha would havo celebrated bis eighty -soventh birthday next April, harin? bean torn at Lisbon donor tho Peninsular War. For twelve months Dack Sir George Grey's health has been very weak, yes his death bad hardly baen expected. Ho had a wonderful constitution, ' he had always livud with exceeding simplicity, and he camo through attacks of illness which might well have prorad fatal to stronger people. Up to Friday last there was nothing in his state of A jalth to came alarm. He was confined to his Bran, riaiteaa invalid, but he continued to tako ?ubttaarial nourishment. It became evident oa Friday, however, that a chango for the worse had taken place. Then congestion of the brain develooed, and paralysis appeared in a slight degree. In all probability the long spill of hot mother had triad what physical strength remained to SirGoorgo. His condi tion on Saturday and Sunday was such as to came anxiety to his f riunds. Yesterday morn ing, however, ho was better and brighter alto gether. It looked almcMt as if he might once m?re shake off a critical illness. But that was not to bo, for in tho afternoon a decided relapse occurred. It was very apparent to those who were about him. Ho retted easily upon his pillowj, but he breathed heavily, aai there were other sign* which lessened hope. He was seen by his medical atten dant. Dr. Walkor, several times during tho day. In the evening Dr. Colenso. the son of hu old friend Bishop Oolenso, also saw him. Anronr the relatives and friends who had been by his bedside wore Mrs. Campbell and Miss Anton. HU nurw, Mrs. Wilkinson, was in eomtant attendance. Somewhat after 10 o'clock there were indications of tho near approach of the end. At half -past precisely Sir George pauod away very peacefully. He had not, of course, been conscious, and he just coawd to breathe. It was a beautiful, a touching close to a great career. Sir George lott the world gentlv, without any farewell of ?aSering, gladly as he had boan ready M any time to go. In his room thero stood mourning Mr. and Mrs. Campbsll, Mr. Onnux Biddulph, another relative who has been livin-j at the Norfolk Hotel during Sir George's illness, and, finally, the doctom and nurses.' Although Ai3tralasians ill London were well aware that Sir Gtiorgo had for long been in a condition of extrumo debility, and that the shock of his wife'* death had loosened evun the feeble bold ho had upon life, they were not a little surprised that the end should have coma so soon. Meat of thotu had a keen ap preciation of what the outlying parts of the E-npira owed to tbo vonsrable Tribune, and theoXcialreprcwntativosof tho Colonies re cognised the responsibility cast upon them of seeing that fitting honours wero paid to his mortal remains. Among the earlv visitors on Tuesday to tho Norfolk HotoL where the eminent Englishman had breathed his last, went the Agents-General for the Cape Colour, New Zealand, and South Australia, the last named charged by Mr. Witt-snoom with asym Dathetio message from Western Australia to the principal mourners for the deceased. Dr. Cockbum had in recant years buen brought into verr intimate personal and political rela tions with Sir George, and as a matter of fact was privileged to bo hu companion during his visit to the West-terrace Cemetery in search of the grave of his child, to be with him during the last hours that he spent in Adelaide, and to see him off when he embarked on the Gothic to proceed to the old country whence he was to return no more. When thorvfore the oppor tunity was afforded the doctor of seeing the face of bis dead friend he readily availed himself of it. Ho found that in plies of the customary pall a magnificent Maori rug covered tho corpse. But for the pallor of death the countenance of the veteran was unchanged. 'It seemed, ' to quote the Agent-General's words, 'as if he were facing the infinite with the tranquil confidence -with which he had faced in life all the problems and vicinritades which had confronted him during his eventful career.' Many other colonists and distin guished public men left cards or sont messages of condolence, and in the course of Wednes day the following gracious and appreciative meoage arrived from tbo Queen through the Colonial Office:— 'Her Majesty has com manded me to convoy to the relatives of Sir George Grey an expression of her sincere sympathy and condolence on the loss of that distinguished statesman and loyal servant of tha Crown, of whose death she has just beard with great regret,' It has been well said that this tribute to the services ot the departed statesman 'will be especially gratifying to the people of Greater Britain, who have taken so great a pride in him. Nobody can read tho last phrase with out recalling tho old controversies which be had with the Colonial Office— tho 'dangerous man' period. There never has bean' much doubt that in tho*e times the Queen gave Sir Gcurgo valuable support as against the near* sigbtedneaa of Whitehall- To-day she biota out for ever the 'dangeroiu man' phrase, and puts in its place tho simple bat noble ono, 'loyal servant of tha Crown.'' TheSecrotaryof State tor the Colonies also forwarded a telegram of which the following is a copy : — ' I have received with deep regret your telegram announcing the death of Sir George Grey. Accept mv profound sympathy in the bereavement you have sustained— a sympathy which I am sure will he felt throughout the Colonial Empire, to which he rendered *uch eminent service during his long and brilliant career.' A long manage record ing the action taken in New Zealand also appeared in the Press, and the Consul-General kofthe Orange* Free State, Sir Julius VoguL ^fel others have sent condolence*. ^Ht wan at first proposed that the funeral ^?mjd take place to-day at the Brompton JlmtiVery, but it was promptly urged by tho ' Juily Chronicle' that St. Paul'* should be the but resting-place of onuwhohad taken so prominent a part in affairs of State in tiio Empire. Tha Agont*-ti«neral warmly seconded the proposal b? addmsiug to tho Colonial Office a letter bearing the signatures of Sir D. Tennant. the Hon. W. P. K**vm, the Hon. Dr. J. A. Cockburn. and Mr. Wittenoom, which expressed the desire of the Governments they represented that the body should ho consigned to the grave in tho great City Cathedral. Some dulay was inevitable, lint, owinx to tho absencu of Diian Gregory, and, second, by reason of the statutory re* quirument that Her Majesty's sign-manual should be attached to tho order for tho burial at St. PaalV, and meanwhilo arrangements for the funeral, inducing tho preparation of the list of invited guests, wero proceeded with. Yesterday, however, all preliminaries were settled, and the announcement appeared in tho oveninc paper* that tho interment in Sir Christopher W ren's architectural masterpiece was to take placo at noon on Monday noxc Among the many wreaths contributed on bo half of colonies, colonist*, and official depart ment* in the mother country nono is likely to bo more beautiful than that sent by Dr. Cockbum. This memorial takes the form of a Maltese Crow, composed of whito Mowers with an odging of green. In tbo centre square ace tha insignia of the Order of tho Bath, to which Sir Goorge oolong, and tlio letters 'S.A.' The card attached to tho wreath contains the word* ' Front th* Government and People of South Australia, in memory of splendid service.' Although the funeral will in a sonse be a public one, tha expeuso will no: bo borne by tho State, bat will bo rout out of tho mtate left by Sir George, who, is is said, died 'Honourably poor.' 'Tho grave in St. Paul'* will be near that of Sir Bartle Frer*. whose recognition of tho work whioh Sir George did in South Africa km always hearty. Abo it will not bo far from tho spot where Nelson hei— Nol*on, whose achieve ments towards the making ot modern Eng land wero keenly un.lor.-tood by Sir George. Canon Scott Holland, being tho Canon in residence, will naturally tako the funeral service.' Moreover, it is expected that offi cials high in the Imperial Service will, with the Agents-General, tako a leading part in the ceremonials. The Press of SoptemW 20 teemed with biographical notices of the deceased, all of them carefully written, all of thum appre ciative, although in some instances with modi fication. Not ono of them, I make bold to aver, was more comprehensive, more discriminating, or* in any way more worthy of tho occasion than that which appeared a few hour* later in 'The Register,' and therefore it would bo a work of supererogation to nummarbo. At the same timo a few extracts may appro priately be givon to prove that Sir George's notable career, ant} splendid services to the nation, bavo not bcenf orgotten on this side of the world. Thus tih 'Time*' opens its tribute with these Words:— 'His enduring monument is tbo magnificent Empire in the ?onthern seas, of which he was one of the chief architects, having done much solid work in laving1 and insuring the foundations. His 'publio services aro so many., m great, and ao various, that is u
difficult to do them justice in any reasonable compass. There u but one person idll alive who has been as intimately and mo. longer associated with colonial expansion. That person is Her Gracious Majesty, for by a lomewhat singular coincidence Sir George ontered on his colonial career in tho year of the Queen's accession. Tberaanwhousedtobe known par excellence as tho Great Proconsul was undoubtedly a striking, a commanding, and even a domineering personality. For much good and sometimes, as we think, for mwcbief. be has left his mark on our Aus tralasian Colonies.'- Tho 'Standard' ob serve*:-' The career of Sir George Grev takej us back to the days when tho very shores of tho Australian Continent had not been wholly explored, and when tho convict and otbor settlement* wero at the boginnimr of tho transition stage into organized and self -ruling communities. His waialit'oof marked successes, of many disputes, and soinestriking failures. His record, viewed a* a whole, i3 a disappointing one, for he misled greaturaa, or, at law:, the continued exerci.-o of power, because of a certain intractability of official totnpar; but is is one thv, is indelibly impressed upon tho history of souis of our greatest colonies, and tho story of which has a per manent place in the annals of the Cape and of Australasia.' Later on reference is made to lord Carnarvon's famous phrase 'Sir Georgo Grey u a dangerous man,' bat it is frankly recognised that m exercising his 'in- dependent judsment' against Minister after Minister in Downing-street it was often ' rightfully' that ho thought hi» views ' were sounder than those upon which he was in structed to act.' The 'Daily News' without reservation, mental or otherwise, says:— 'With Sir George Grey there passes away a figure that is typical of much that is best and strongest in our race. We find in him tho qualities which have enabled the inhabitants of a small island off the coast of Europe to occupy most of the unclaimed land of the world. Sir Georgo Grey has represented England in many climes and under many conditions, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he did nothing to sully tho fair fame of Eng land. He always fought manfully for the idoals of our race— justice, peace, liberty. He accomplished much during his lifetime, but hit examplo will probably do more now that he bat gone than anything that he himself could have done. 'It is tho thought that there have been such English men that takes away one's despair for England's future,' Olive Schreiner wrote recently. But it m not by the whites only that his memory is reverenced. The black races which he ruled bokod upjn him as their friend and protector. 'When he dies,' said Mr. Fronde once, 'the Maoris and the poor whites in New Zealand will have lost their truest friend, and England will havo lost a public servant among the best that sho ever had, whoso worth she failed to under stand, and whoso official reputation was only that he was a dangerous man.'' Curiously enough, the paper from which this is taken fall* into the mistake of stating that Sir George wai ' the first Gove nor of the colony' (?) of South Australia. The 'Daily Telegraph.' the 'Morning Post,' and other morning journals are complimentary with qoalinaation^ The 'Daily Mail.' although anti-radical, is unreservedly eulogistic ' In Sir George Grey,' it remarks, 'one of our greatest Empire-builders has gone He noraed tho infant fortunes of Sooth Australia, he was Governor of the Cape, and twice Governor— as well as Prime Minister— of New Zealand, not to speak of being at one time a member ot the Imperial Parliament. He won the confidence— and, indeed, the love— of British, Boers, and Maoris alike. He was emphatically a man on a great scale. Every subject he touched he.cnnobled, and bis career was as beneficent as it was distinguished.' As might bo expected, the 'Chronicle,' which illustrates 1U memoir with an excellent portrait of tho subject thereof, has nothing but praise to bestow upon one who was 'a Democrat of the Democrats.' His death, it avers, 'removes the last of the great old statesmen of the Victorian Ago. As Mr. Gladstono wasidontified with Ureat Britain and her modern story, ao Sir George Grey's name belongs to the story of Greater Britain, and will never be forgotten in two continents where tho law and practice of English life is observed. The two men we havo namod were not especially sym pathetic to each other; but both of them lived on the same plane of thought and action. Both cherished and extended the essentially British, awl essentially Liberal, idea of self government. Both wero men of determined will, of great industry, of strong initiative, of proud and self-mitlicing strength. And both of them understood and interpreted the saving gonius of the British people, its mode ration, its motto of ' live and let live' He was,' continues the writer, 'one of the great glories of the Queen's reign-^a pieneer of federation, an explorer, a thinkor, a true subduer of the earth to tho purposes of civilized man. and more especially of the civilized Briton. When wo think of the brutalities of later colonizing days, of tho wanto of decent human material, of the cruelty and violence associated with the colonizing career of men liko Mr. Rhodes, we rejoice to think that a better, aye, and a far more suo cessful, model exists in tho perton of a chief architect of our Australian Empire.' The 'St. James's Gazette,' usually in matters outsida of party politics a scrupulously fair paper, takes tho 'Chronicle' to task for presuming to criticise the masterful Cecil Rhodes, but it is nono the less generous in it* acknowledgments of the splendid qualities of tho man held up to admiration as the antctype of tha South African dictator. 'His true greatness,' it maintains, 'was dwarfed by the relative smatlness of the tho&tre in which he ekose to play out tho final act of his life's drama. A 'dangerous man' he was, in truth, to people less competent than himself who ventured to pit themselves against his inflexible will, and to superior clerk* in Government departments who sought to bind him in end less coils of official tapo ; but to all others a man of rare moral courage, strength of judgment, and grasp of Imperial principles, who per formed great and ill-rewarded service to the Grown.' The ' Pall Mali Gazotte' even rises superior to its supercilious disdain of those who cannot or will not pronounce its political shibboleth, and confesses 'that it might not be a bad thing s if we had a fow more pillars of tho Empire as 'dangerous'' — all the 'papers harp on Lord Carnarvon's 'famous phrase'— 'as tho greatest of all colonial Governors.' The 'Westminster Gazette' when it indulges in commont con fines itmlf to panegyric and recalls the touch ing words addrotsod by Sir George) to one of its stall some three years ago— words having the same heroic ring in them as some of Mr. Gladstone's valedictory sentences— 'Now I am just waiting, 'waiting quietly, ready to go when my timo comes, and ready to buckle to anv work which I can still do for the cause I have worked for theso sixty years, and mean while just doing what lies next to hand from day to day as well as I can see it' What an altitude of bead Go contentment for a great man to have reached, and how charm ing u tbo attitude of mind portrayed in this further statement : — ' Everybody has been so kind to me,' he said, 'and helped ma on. I remember the telegram with my first appoint ment, to tho Governorship of South Australia, coming from Lord John Russell one morning, being brought to me in bod. I had no idea in the world of such a thing happening to me. and so it has bocn all along. My second ap pointment—when I was sent off to Now Zealand at a moment's notico on a ship specially commissioned to call from India, tho Maori troubles being pressing— my instruc tions found me sitting under a hedgerow, not dreamins of suoh a thing.

About Strength of Center
Years ago, when I started teaching the combination of yoga and pilates, I had no idea how much it would change the way I look at exercise. I also had no idea how many people would feel the same way. I believe that our energy, confidence and fitness all stem from the center of the body. When we are feeling confident and proud, we stand a little taller and we smile a little bit more. It is about learning to love and accept who we are, from the inside out.
So I introduce to you my first DVD: Strength of Center...the fusion of yoga and pilates. The DVD is segmented into 4 different workouts: core (front), core (back), standing strength segments and a balance and flexibility segment. You may choose to do a couple of the routines or join me for the entire 70 minute workout. I hope that you enjoy this workout as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you! So take that journey to a more fit and healthier you!

Red carpet: 2013 Golden Globe Awards
It was another night of stylish gowns as celebs hit the red carpet for the Golden Globe Awards. There was certainly a lot of color on display and stars embraced embellishments hoping to stand out from the fashionable crowd. Plunging necklines, strapless silhouettes and floral prints all made notable appearances. Here are some highlights from last night.
Nicole Richie simply stunned in this light blue Naeem Khan Spring 2013 embroidered gown accented with a fringed House of Harlow 1960 bag. Zooey Deschanel stuck with her go-to retro vibe by wearing a red Oscar de la Renta strapless gown. The New Girl star finished off the look with Kwiat jewelry. Another actress in red was Jennifer Lawrence who won for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook. She styled her strapless Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture gown with a metallic belt and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.
Jennifer Lopez opted for a lacy Zuhair Murad gown combined with Le Vian jewels. It was a dramatic plum-colored Donna Karan Atelier gown with exposed back for Taylor Swift. Jessica Chastain's seafoam Calvin Klein halter gown was set off by Harry Winston gems.
Jessica Alba also wore Harry Winston jewelry which perfectly complemented her melon Oscar de la Renta gown. Kristen Bell's lovely lilac Jenny Packham gown with heavily embellished bodice helped the pregnant actress stand out on the red carpet. Anne Hathaway relied on Chanel for both her Spring 2009 Couture gown and her dazzling jewelry.
We absolutely love Taylor's Donna Karan and Nicole's brilliant blue Naeem Khan. Which one is your favorite from the red carpet?

In a train compartment there are 67 seats...13 rows of 5 (3 by2) seats and the last row has 2 sets. A person cannot book more than 5 seats. If a person is booking then it should be such that maximum people of the group get consecutive seats.
Originally posted by Thomas Whalen: I'm only a mere beginner, but...why are you getting questions in a job interview (I thought only highly qualified Java programmers got interviews anymore) and asking them in a beginner forum? :-)
Originally posted by Thomas Whalen: If personA asks for tickets, then ...Ask personA for number of tickets being requested ...Get number of tickets ...If number of tickets is greater than five then ......Reject ticket request ...Else ......Loop through each row .........If number of available seats is >= than request then ............Fill seats in that row equal to request ...............Set number of seats available minus request .........End If ......End Loop ...End If End If Am I understanding the problem correctly?
Originally posted by Smita Chopra: Thanks for you input. But what if second..third...tenth person comes and asks for a ticket. You'll have to see which all seats have been filled. Of the vacant seats you'll have to look for consecutive seats. If consecutive seats are not available you'll have to assign them dispersed seats and update your list of filled seats. Thanks

excellent, improved my game 100%
We have all played against someone who can return it all. But have you noticed sometimes it's not that they hit it well, but that they GOT there? When I demo'd this racquet I got it. If you can get there, this racquet, as long as you extend it, gets it over. It's a Weapon.
This racquet made my old one feel like a ping pong paddle.Noticeable improvement in my game.

This Recipe
- Skill Level: Beginner
- Serves: 4
- Start to Finish: Less than 45 minutes
This is Bittman's favorite vegan breakfast recipe from The VB6 Cookbook. Soft corn tortillas make a perfect vehicle for this tofu "chorizo," which is so good you'll find a lot of other uses for it too. Plus, it's easy to double the batch, making this dish a good choice the next time you host a brunch.
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds firm tofu (1 1/2 blocks)
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 limes, 1 halved, 1 quartered
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions, for garnish
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Stack tortillas on a large square of foil and wrap loosely.
2. Place oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Crumble tofu into the pan with your hands. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of skillet occasionally, and adjusting heat as necessary, until tofu browns and crisps as much or as little as you like it, anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. When tofu is almost ready, place tortillas in oven.
4. Add bell pepper to pan, if using. Sprinkle mixture with chili powder; stir, and cook, continuing to scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan until mixture is fragrant, less than a minute. Squeeze juice of 1 lime half over all, garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve with tortillas and lime quarters.
- For a little more kick without being too fiery, try 1 or 2 poblano chiles instead of the bell pepper.
- Substitute 3 cups well-drained cooked or canned black or pinto beans for tofu. (If using canned beans, rinse them before draining.)
- Use tempeh instead of tofu. It will be tangier and slightly more dense, closer to the texture of ground meat.

As of Wednesday, July 10, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Henry Herald
Spin doesn't work.
Spin is less than honest.
Spinning in one direction usually causes things to turn in the opposite direction.
Spin is what you call it when elected officials, public relations professionals and newsmakers try to control what the public reads.
Spin is generally characterized by politically-correct speech, 16-cylinder words and a lot of double talk.
Citizens have every right to see things as they actually are and not merely what those in power want them to see.
When public perception is different from what public figures want it be, the first thing they do is attack the media.
Big mistake.
That never works.
In fact, just like spin, attacking the media generally just backfires.
The only reason to try and spin the news is because you are trying to hide something — plain, pure and simple.
Here is a case in point.
From day one, we have consistently said a SPLOST IV referendum on the ballot in the November election is asking voters to approve a new 1-cent sales tax.
That's the truth.
It is not a partial truth.
It is not a relative truth.
It is not kind of true.
It is simply the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
However, elected officials in Henry County and members of the SPLOST IV committee have objected to that truth.
In fact, they want us to tell citizens that SPLOST IV is a continuation of SPLOST III.
Now, that would be a lie.
SPLOST III expires.
There is no such thing as a continuation.
Voters approved SPLOST III projects.
Those projects were funded.
That was then.
This is now.
Now, county leaders have a new list of projects and are asking voters for millions of new dollars to fund them.
When the voters vote in favor of a SPLOST referendum, they put the tax on themselves for a specific period of time.
When that period expires, the tax expires.
SPLOST IV is not SPLOST III, that is why county leaders have had week after week after week of meetings to review possible road improvements, capital projects, public buildings, parks and ballfields, tweaking the list that will eventually be put on the ballot.
That is why they are pitching their projects.
That is why they are so worried about how the citizens are reacting and what newspaper readers are reading.
Are SPLOST IV projects worthwhile?
Is the 1-cent sales tax warranted?
That is up to voters to decide.
Elected officials in Henry County need to take a hard look at their motives.
Should a public servant not want what the public wants?
Did you run for office to serve the public?
Or, are you serving some other interest?
Who does Henry County belong to?
Do the opinions and the interests of the people elected to office matter more than the opinions and the interest of the people who elect them?
