A review of malaria diagnostic tools: Microscopy and rapid diagnostic test (RDT)
- DOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i2.2965
- PubMed: 18165483
The absolute necessity for rational therapy in the face of rampant drug resistance places increasing importance on the accuracy of malaria diagnosis. Giemsa microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) represent the two diagnostics most likely to have the largest impact on malaria control today. These two methods, each with characteristic strengths and limitations, together represent the best hope for accurate diagnosis as a key component of successful malaria control. This review addresses the quality issues with current malaria diagnostics and presents data from recent rapid diagnostic test trials. Reduction of malaria morbidity and drug resistance intensity plus the associated economic loss of these two factors require urgent scaling up of the quality of parasite-based diagnostic methods. An investment in anti-malarial drug development or malaria vaccine development should be accompanied by a parallel commitment to improve diagnostic tools and their availability to people living in malarious areas.

BECKLEY - The Connecticut School Shooting and other recent mass shootings have sparked a national debate about guns and mental illness.
Manager Mark Dempsey of Flat Top Arms in Beckley explained that licensed gun dealers are required by federal law to use background checks for people purchasing a firearm.
"It's important to try to keep the guns out of the hands of the criminals or people who have some bad intentions towards somebody else," said Dempsey.
People fill out a background check form at the store and then the dealers call the National Instant Check System (NICS) to determine if the person is approved to buy a gun. However, Dempsey said most criminals go through a loophole in the system to get firearms. "They buy them off the streets or through private sales, which at this time are not required by law to do the background checks."
When purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer, one of the questions on the form asks if the person has ever been deemed mentally unstable. But if the person lies, the seller's hands are tied. "The applicant has to answer that, and hopefully they're doing it honestly, but unless their records are registered with the federal National Instant Check System, we have no way of knowing," said Dempsey.
With privacy laws stemming from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) physicians are not required to send information about any mental behavior to federal authorities.
Kaleb Snyder of Nice Guns Tactical in Princeton said certain mental illnesses should be included on background checks so dealers can avoid putting guns into the wrong hands. "I want [NICS] to be able to say, 'They have a severe mental illness. They've been deemed unfit to own a weapon per some medical doctor,'" said Snyder. "Then I'd have to tell the person, 'I'm sorry, I can't sell you this. You've been denied.'"
Dempsey believes folks who harm others should not have guns, but he said including mental illnesses on background checks would require several legislative changes. "Are they gonna go ahead and change the privacy laws? Because HIPAA says its privacy," he said. "So are they gonna change one law to enact another law?"

I have an '05 Trek 520 with the standard Shimano 105 crankset (52/42/30). I have loaded up my rear panniers with bricks to 50lbs (23kg) and road a bunch of hills on a 20 mile ride. I didn't seem to have an problem on the hills, and when I did, I stood up to pump.
I guess I am wondering, how do I know if I should swap out to a lower gearing? Should I do a fully loaded extra long ride (60mi?) and see how exhausted I am? Since I have no touring experience (at all), isn't it a bit premature to make changes to the mechanics of the bike that might actually be just right as it is [for me]?
Any one have advice on how to know when to change your crank?

Professor Anthony Musson
Extension: 3362
Telephone: 01392 723362
Professor of Legal History
Professor Anthony Musson is Professor of Legal History and a Barrister of the Middle Temple. He gained an LL.M from Lancaster University and his doctorate from King's College Cambridge, where he was also an undergraduate. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his research, he is a Fellow and Council member of the Royal Historical Society and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 2012. He was a Research Associate of the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of York (1996-8) and a Visiting Senior Research Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Studies, University of London (2003-6). He is co-director of the Bracton Centre for Legal History Research.
Anthony has published extensively in the field of medieval legal history and legal culture and in his work on legal iconography in particular has developed both interdisciplinary and comparative approaches. His major funded projects have examined visual representations of law and justice in the art and architecture of medieval Europe (British Academy) and the role of Lawyers in Society, 1258-1558 (ESRC). His latest project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, examines the origins and jurisdiction of the Medieval Court of Chivalry. He is also involved with several collaborative projects notably on 'Books of Law: The Transmission of Western Legal Culture' (jointly led with scholars from Lille, Ghent and Helsinki), funded by a special collaborative projects grant from the CNRS, and on 'Jurisdictional Complexity in Europe, 1500-1900', led by scholars from Ghent and Limerick and funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
His expertise on the administration of criminal justice in medieval England, especially the tensions created by criminal gangs and outlaws has been showcased in BBC programmes such as The Long View (Radio 4) and the Emmy award-winning Terry Jones Medieval Lives (BBC 2/The History Channel). He has sought to promote public understanding of the private lives of medieval and Tudor lawyers through illustrated lectures to professional and cultural groups (including the Devon and Somerset Law Society, the Devon Historical Society, the University of the Third Age and the Richard III Society of Devon and Cornwall) and has worked with actors from the Elysium Theatre Company as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company (Open Stage) scheme's project, assisting their understanding of their characters in relation to the constitutional and legal issues in Shakespeare's historical plays, which led to 'The Wars of the Roses' performed at Buckfast Abbey in 2012. As part of the Magna Carta 800 Celebrations he has been commissioned by the Magna Carta Trust (in collaboration with the American Bar Association and the International Bar Association) to contribute to a commemorative volume: Magna Carta: The Foundation of Freedom, 1215-2015.
Supervisor to postgraduate students in Legal History, Medieval History and Criminal Law.

text: As Rocklin prepares to hire its next city manager, citizens need to stand up and let the council know what they want. For far too long the citizenry has blindly depended on the incumbent city council members who are responsible for some high-profile blunders. Decisions surrounding the compensation of current City Manager Carlos Urrutia underscore the need for citizens to force the council to rein in perks and questionable policies so the next manager can focus on leading Rocklin out of its financial pit. Public pressure has already forced some council members to retreat from a salary expectation of more than $200,000 for the next city manager. "We are looking to understand if there are ways to drive this salary to a level that we feel more comfortable with, i.e. lower than it is right now," Councilman Brett Storey said at the May 22 budget hearing. The last full-time salary paid to a Rocklin city manager was more than $226,000, plus built-in perks like deferred compensation, cell phone and auto allowances. The latter was used to artificially spike Urrutia's pension payout. The city council undermines public confidence by allowing policies like double dipping to occur. Five managers, including Urrutia and the police chief, retired and now draw pensions while at the same time work as part-time annuitants in their old job. Wally Reemelin, the president of the League of Placer County Taxpayers said the practice may be legal but that doesn't make it right. "The people in power are incompetent because they are allowing the double pay to go on," Reemelin said. A recent internal investigation by the city led to the public outing of an employment practice that lets members of the city's management team use up to four hours of their day for their own purposes without reporting it to the city. Mayor Scott Yuill said the council didn't have the authority to change employment policies. "I believe it's not council's role to micro-manage personnel matters in most cases," Yuill said. It is short-sighted to say it is merely a personnel matter. Giving managers autonomy at taxpayers' expense is irresponsible in these economic times. To date, the city has cut a quarter of its workforce, which is now creating service challenges. Councilman Peter Hill admitted at the May 22 budget hearing that the city does not even have the staff available to implement an economic strategy if it paid a consultant to develop one. That should have been their priority years ago. Urrutia, who's been on the job for 25 years, admits the glory days are over as the city is now largely built out. The reality is Placer County admits housing values, and thus property taxes, will be flat until 2014. CB Richard Ellis reports the 2010 outlook for commercial real estate will be flat as the Sacramento region has 21.6 percent vacancy rate and construction is non-existent. Recently Urrutia admitted he had one regret, not luring the Galleria to Rocklin when the city was in the running. The city is plagued by the inability to attract business over Roseville. Wal-Mart is a good example. Yuill admitted last year that Rocklin was so close to getting Nugget marketplace but at the last minute they chose the Roseville side of the border. Rocklin needs to have all hands on deck if they're going to keep the city viable. Rocklin historian Gary Day points to the time when Rocklin sided with developers in a historically fruitless lawsuit to stop Thunder Valley Casino instead of getting a piece of the action. "They turned down $15 million for a quid pro quo from the casino people to drop the lawsuit," Day said. "That $15 million could have gone to Rocklin community services." The current budget is expected to make the police department one of the smallest forces in the state, which Chief Mark Siemens said would lead to an increase in traffic accidents. "The more enforcement you have, the fewer accidents you will have," Siemens said. "Our accident rate will go up. It is not a 'might,' it will go up." The city is expected to get rid of its bomb-sniffing dog, a traffic sergeant and another full-time sworn officer. The budget has cut fire-prevention programs, firefighter overtime and is now expected to layoff two firefighter/paramedics at a time when Rocklin has allowed the fire department to operate with undesirable response times that create what the leader of the local chapter of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association referred to as "dead zones" in some areas of the city. "There are two areas with 10- to 12-minute (response times)," said Fire Chief Bill Mikesell. According to the American Heart Association, brain death occurs between four to six minutes after an abrupt loss in heart function like a heart attack. Council members are having a tough time cutting programs like the employee awards that have the city spending nearly $7,000 on gold pins for employees to display service years. That should have been the first program to go. Business owners on Rocklin Road complain the patch work, uneven surface of the that major thoroughfare is getting out of hand at a time when the city is focusing on creating roundabouts at Meyers and Grove streets. The new city manager needs to have tighter fiscal policies, a citizen-centered agenda and aggressive plans to capitalize on opportunities. Tell the city what you want and demand accountability.

As I kissed the Mr. goodbye in the wee hours of the morning, he said it felt like I just came home a minute ago. I can't help but feel a pull towards home too.
Kim recently said I talked her off the ledge. Really, we're both just holding hands, our friendship growing stronger each day as we carve our professional path in a world where motherhood really is the job we value most. Our lives are not perfect, but we are fortunate.
The compromises we make seem big in our worlds, yet they pale in comparison to, say, my mother's. She woke up at 6:00am every morning while I was in high school to work as a supermarket cashier. She's endured so much for the sake of her children. Her sacrifices were real ones. I keep that perspective every day.
So, while I pound away here at the Jet Blue terminal waiting to board a plane to San Francisco to speak at BlogHer Food, I want to say thank you to the woman who has made these opportunities possible.
Thank you mom.
Thank you for always believing in me.
Trick or Treat Trail Mix
This is one of those easier compromises in life. A little naughty, and a lot of nice. Be sure to cool the oat-nut mixture completely before adding the chocolate chunks so they don't melt. For a healthy start, omit the chocolate chips, and this makes for a tasty breakfast too.
3 cups (11.65 ounces) old fashioned oats
1 cup (5.3 ounces) almonds, chopped
1 cup (4.8 ounces) pumpkin seeds
pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups (9.3 ounces) dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups (2.5 ounces) shredded sweetened coconut
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
Get the rest of the my recipe for trick or treat trail mix at my monthly Relish column, Jennie's Family Table.

UWM Architecture Receives Full Accreditation!
August 22, 2011
The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) has formally granted the Architecture program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning the full six-year term of accreditation, following their visit in spring 2011. The program is scheduled for its next accreditation visit in 2017.
The Visiting Team undertook an exhaustive review of the department and the curriculum, and concluded that the program, "while only representing 3% of the student body, is seen as a star of the university. It is equally cherished by those in the profession who seek its graduates."
The Team went on to state that the "School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP) is an important factor in UWM's rising profile in the Milwaukee community. Through Dean Greenstreet's efforts, the built environment in the city has become an increasing source of civic pride.
The faculty at UWM SARUP demonstrates a distinctive process of governance that is consensus oriented, transparent, and collegial and ultimately demonstrates a model of collaboration. "
The Team was especially complimentary about the sponsored studios, which they stated were "models for peers across the country. These studios provide opportunities for students to work with professionals, raise the profile of SARUP and create and entrepreneurial initiative for infusing financial resources into the school."
The Team commented on the direction of the curriculum, which "values individual choice over structure. This requires students to become active participants in the life of the institution and responsible for their personal educational path. A nurturing and accessible faculty becomes an important aspect in the success of this model."
The Department of Architecture's professional program has always carried full accreditation since its inception 40 years ago.

Remember KBR, the subsidiary of Haliburton that LIEberals raged about during the mid 2000's? Well, they are back in the news following a court verdict that found them negligent in the poisoning of at least 12 US soldiers in Kuwait at the beginning of the second Gulf War. The verdict determined KBR owed 85 million dollars to settle the case, but KBR has found a patsy, and now it appears US tax payers will foot the bill for damages awarded in this case.
In November of 2012, an Oregon Federal Court awarded $85 million to twelve Oregon National Guard members who stated they were exposed to a known carcinogen at the Qarmat Ali water treatment plant in Iraq in 2003. The Nation Guard soldiers were stationed at the facility to guard against attack from insurgents.
During the trial, court documents showed that the facility, operated by KBR Incorporated, stored massive quantities of Sodium dichromate dihydrate, a material known to cause cancer, as well as causing damage to the kidneys, liver, heart and upper respiratory tract. The documents further showed that KBR was fully aware that the material was housed at the facility and being used to keep water pipes from corroding. KBR had previously contended that it was unaware that the toxic chemicals were stored or being used at the facility.
At the time of the ruling, Geoffrey Harrison, attorney for KBR, claimed the plaintiff's lawyer used a "discredited" medical expert who presented "unsupported medical opinions" that each soldier had suffered "invisible, cellular-level injuries as a result of their exposure to hexavalent chromium." Harrison further stated that he planned to appeal the court's decision.
"evidence was presented at trial from which a finder of fact could reasonably have concluded that KBR was aware of the likely presence of sodium dichromate at Qarmat Ali prior to beginning operations there."
Having failed to convince a jury that they were not liable, and failing to have the verdict overturned due to perceived juror misconduct, KBR is now arguing that when the company agreed to work as a contractor for the U.S. government, an indemnity agreement was signed protecting KBR from legal liability. That agreement, according to KBR, means the federal government, not the company, is responsible for payment of the $85 million judgement, as well as the $15 million KBR has spent to defend itself in the lawsuit.

Last Friday morning Mr. Boo and myself boarded a plane bound for Edinburgh. We were heading there with 11 of our friends to celebrate my 30th birthday. A few months earlier Mr. Boo sent out a sneaky text to see if people would be interested in taking a little trip to join us for dinner, when the resounding response was yes he revealed his plans and so we started organising together.
We had been to Edinburgh on two previous occasions. Both times we dined in Rhubarb in Prestonfield House and were equally impressed with both the surroundings and the food. When Mr. Boo revealed his idea to mark my 30th I jumped at it. I've never been one for big parties or being the centre of attention so a nice civilised meal with some of our closest family and friends sounded ideal. Decision made he reserved the Italian Room, a private dining room in Prestonfield House, to house our gathering. In addition our party would enjoy exclusive use of the Whiskey Room on arrival. A few emails and phonecalls back and forth with the events team at Prestonfield House and we had our menus and details for the night finalised. All that was left was for us to arrive with our happy faces to enjoy the evening.
Following some friendly banter (read death threats) with the ever so friendly (read evil cow) Ryanair ground staff we boarded our red eye flight and braced ourselves against the gale force wind. A very bumpy flight, punctuated with plenty of "oh Jesus" and "sweet mother of the holy divine" and "I'm gonna be sick", later we landed safely in Edinburgh. On arrival at the Bonham Hotel the general consensus was that everyone was "S T A R V I N" so we slinked into the restaurant for breakfast. Mr. Boo & myself indulged in a full Scottish as it was a whole 4 hours before lunch. It was as good as we remembered, especially the haggis and black pudding.
With our bellys full we set out for a bit of sight seeing. We got a little side tracked along the way and enjoyed some shopping as we walked but finally found ourselves outside the castle for a few nice pics. Pictures taken a little voice from the back piped up, "right, that's the cultural bit done, can we go for a pint now?". Approximately 3 minutes later we were out of the rain and happily sipping on our first liquid refreshment of the day(non alcoholic for me, I had a party to host). Warm and dry we decided to head to a bar closer to our lunch reservation and so made our way to Tempus on Georges Street.
On the way we stumbled upon Bibi's Bakery and sure it would have been rude not to have a look inside. The windows were filled with beautiful displays of cupcakes, giant cupcakes and wedding cakes. We pressed our hungry little noses against the glass counter to decide which cupcake to fill our belly's with and happily left with a little box full. I had a yummy Nutella one, a deliciously light and moist cake with a tower of chocolate Nutella frosting and a scattering of chopped hazelnuts.
Canapes scoffed and bubbles quaffed we were seated for dinner. The Italian Room is "Dramatically panelled with painted scenes as a souvenir of an eighteenth century Grand Tour, the green and gilt Italian Room is one of Prestonfield's most historic rooms and the most sought-after private dining room in the city. Dine in a room that has played host to Presidents, Prime Ministers, Royalty and stars of every age – from Boswell, Johnson and Benjamin Franklin to Oliver Reed, Lauren Bacall and Elton John." Would you be able for me? I tell ya, it's far from private dining rooms I was reared.
The table was beautifully set with silver candelabras and vases stuffed with seasonal flowers. As a happy coincidence the tableware was monogramed with an 'R' for the on site restaurant Rhubarb but I allowed my guests to pretend it was done just for lil ol' me. An open fire roared happily in the hearth to ensure we were all toasty warm for the evening and the room was constantly filled with chatter and laughter. Both Susie and William were relentless in their desire to please and no request went unfulfilled throughout the evening. Whatever our guests desired they obliged to ensure that everyone had everything they needed or just wanted on the evening, and all with unwaning smiles on their faces.
Dinner was served and again silence descended, bar the clattering of silverware off plates and the smacking of lips and appreciative nom nom sounds. I opted for a starter of hand dived scallops, butternut squash, lime, capers and coriander. The scallops were cooked to perfection, melt in the mouth with a delicate smokey flavour followed by a natural sweetness. The butternut squash did not disappoint either, charred on the griddle pan it was soft but not mushy and full of delicious sweet flavour. I also had a little taste of Mr. Boo's soup which I would happily have finished had he not wrestled the spoon from my hand.
My main was 35 day dry-aged sirloin of beef, three peppercorn jus and boulangère potatoes. The steak was more than my little *cough* tummy could accommodate but what I did manage to put away was tender and full of flavour and the boulangère potatoes made a very welcome accompaniement. I may have forgotten to take a picture of them because I dived straight in. Others who chose the duck and cod declared them to be delicious also, the greedy gits didn't offer me a little taste though.
For dessert I opted for the chocolate offering, naturally, warm Valrhona milk chocolate tart, star anise poached pear & pear ice cream. While it was more pear heavy than chocolate heavy it was a lovely end to the meal. The pear still had a little bite to it and the chocolate crunch that lined the plate added a nice balance of texture to the fruit and the chocolate mousse. By all accounts the rhubarb crumble with ginger ice cream was the star of the desserts show and received hearty praise from all who ordered it. My sister who received her dessert of a trio of ices first had it hoovered up before the remaining desserts had been served, I think she enjoyed it. As if we hadn't stuffed our belly's enough we then tucked into petit fours of florentines (one of my favourite treats) and perfect cubes of turkish delight.
After dinner entertainment came via the mens toilets. A selection of hats are available for patrons to try on while they erm well wait for their hands to dry I assume. The lovely Susie ordered the men to go and retrieve some hats for the ladies to try on. There was much hilarity at hats of various shapes and sizes perching atop heads of various shapes and sizes. We were even permitted to try on some antique styles removed from the safety of their protective leather hat boxes. A round of musical hats ensued to uproarious laughter and much camera clicking before order returned to the room. My favourite was a white leather jockeys hat worn with the most earnest face by one of our male guests. With fully belly's we headed for Tigerlily in search of some liquid refreshments to end the evening. Mojito anyone?
The next morning we all rose in various states if chirpiness for round two of the Scottish breakfast. I opted for the full Scottish again and I think it was even nicer than the previous days offering. Once checked out of the hotel we headed our separate ways to spend the day as we wished. I accompanied my sis to the Disney shop to stock up for the little princess she had left at home for the very 1st time. I wanted one of everything for me but unfortunately they didn't have my size. My niece however was in luck and received a case full of goodies when her mam returned home.
Half of us then met in the Witchery by the Castle for lunch. We were starved, hadn't eaten much at all since we left Dublin *cough*. This was my third visit to the Witchery, we had eaten in both the main dining room and the Secret Garden on previous occasions and were seated in the main dining room again. Both rooms are beautifully appointed spaces, the main dining room is dimly lit with low ceilings and lots of flickering candlelight, the Secret Garden is a lighter space but equally as grand. There were 3 menus to choose from, a la carte, a set menu of 3 courses for £30, and a light lunch/pre-theatre menu offering 2 courses for £14.95, meaning you can enjoy a meal in one of Scotland's finest restaurants at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed a really beautiful lunch and maybe a sneaky glass of bubbles, I honestly couldn't think of a more perfect way to end our whistle stop tour of Edinburgh.

Press Release from Cartoon Art Museum
San Francisco, CA: The Cartoon Art Museum has received a generous $30,000 matching grant from The Charles M. Schulz Donor Advised Grant in support of the museum's ongoing programs and exhibitions. Contributions to The Sparky Challenge made to CAM between April 15 and September 15, 2011 will be matched dollar for dollar up to the total amount of the grant.
"The Schulz family have been friends of the museum for more than 25 years and we're extremely grateful for the boost to our spring and summer fundraising efforts," said CAM's executive director Summerlea Kashar. "We've dubbed this the 'Sparky Match' as a way to spark people's attention, and because 'Sparky' was Schulz' nickname."
The Cartoon Art Museum has benefited over the years from Sparky's generosity with an Endowment gift in 1987, and continued assistance through matching gifts, donations of original artwork and his insight and advice. Although Schulz passed away in 2002, his legacy lives on through the Charles M. Schulz Research Museum and the charitable works overseen by his widow, Jean, who continues to be one of the Cartoon Art Museum's most dedicated supporters.
Funds raised from the grant challenge help to continue CAM's community outreach including educational programs such as our Talking Points animation classes as well as the general operating budget for the museum, supporting upcoming exhibitions such as Green Lantern, 70 Years of Archie Comics, and Eric Drooker's animated adaptation of Allen Ginsberg's legendary poem Howl.

Maj. Gen. Keenan takes reigns at San Antonio Military Health System
September 13, 2013
By Lt. Col. Lindan A Moya (Army Medicine)
JBSA-FORT SAM HOUSTON, TEXAS -- An historic moment took place today within the Department of Defense, right here in San Antonio. To meet the changing needs of military medicine in today's environment, and particularly with the budget constraints our federal government faces today, Army and Air Force healthcare systems, to include the San Antonio Military Medical Center, the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center and other clinics, began to integrate two years ago under the organization known as the San Antonio Military Health System.
Today, Air Force Maj. Gen. Byron C. Hepburn, commander, 59th Medical Wing, relinquished the position as director of the SAMHS to Army Maj. Gen. Jimmie O. Keenan, commanding general, Southern Regional Medical Command, during the first SAMHS transfer of authority ceremony Sept. 12 at the San Antonio Military Medical Center's Auditorium.
The SAMHS officially stood up on Sept. 15, 2011, to integrate Army and Air Force health care delivery in San Antonio to increase efficiencies and reduce military medical care costs. Hepburn was named as the first director. The position alternates between the Air Force and Army every two years. The deputy director's position was previously held by Maj. Gen. M. Ted Wong, who relinquished command of SRMC and the position of deputy director of SAMHS, to Keenan in June.
On Oct. 1, SAMHS will receive new authorities as an enhanced Multiservice Market based on a March Deputy Secretary of Defense Memorandum mandating significant change within the Military Health System. As the SAMHS Director, Keenan will have direct authority to oversee and sustain a high-quality military health system across San Antonio, not just within Army or Air Force facilities. She will manage the budget allocation for the Army and Air Force military treatment facilities in San Antonio, direct teams to adopt common clinical and business functions, optimize military readiness requirements to deploy medically ready forces, and direct that personnel and work functions move among San Antonio military treatment facilities to best support the patients and missions. Also, on Oct. 1, a Defense Health Agency is established in Washington, D.C., to assume shared functions, services and activities of the Army, Navy, and Air Force within the Military Health System that until now had been managed by the individual services.
Before taking command of the 59th MDW in November 2010, Hepburn was the deputy surgeon general for Headquarters, U.S. Air Force, Bolling Air Force Base, D.C., where he was responsible for directing all Air Force Medical Service operations. There, he managed the Air Force Medical Service's $5.1 billion, 43,000-person integrated health care delivery system serving 2.4 million beneficiaries worldwide. Additionally, he previously served as the command surgeon for U.S. European Command and Air Mobility Command. One of the Air Force's few pilot-physicians, Hepburn has commanded a medical squadron, group and center, and is a command pilot with more than 3,000 flying hours in the T-37, T-38, C-9A and C-17A.
During his two-year tenure as the director of SAMHS, Hepburn drove efficiencies and optimization of the direct care system and use of the purchased care network by providing improved health care services, supporting graduate medical education and training, and supporting basic/clinical biomedical research.
Hepburn said, "Our five-year plan is to achieve $237 million in savings. In partnership with our Army colleagues, we will continue to 'crank the mission'. We owe it to our patients and their families."
Prior to assuming command of SRMC, Keenan was the commanding general, U.S. Public Health Command. Keenan is also the U.S. Army Nurse Corps chief. She will be the first Army general officer to hold the position of director of SAMHS, overseeing military health care delivery across the San Antonio metropolitan area. Keenan entered the Army as a nurse corps officer in July 1986, receiving her commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps at Henderson State University in Arkansas. She holds a Master of Science in Nursing Administration from the Medical College of Georgia and a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. She has also served as a Congressional Fellow for former Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas.
Keenan addressed the audience during the ceremony, saying, "We must be integrated, we must work together. We cannot afford not to do so. We have a responsibility to take care of America's sons and daughters. We are: One Military, One team, Patients first, Partners always."

Stop using old coffee cans and get a reusable more eco-friendly grease storage container for your used deep fryer oils
While many of us lovers of fried food don't strain and store our used fryer grease and clean the fryer between uses to obtain consistently good results you really should start doing this. If you fail to clean your machine regularly it can begin to accumulate gunk under the immersed heating element that can taint the flavor of the food and since we're eating fried goodies for taste and texture why not!
You'll need a filtration system to clean the debris from the oil and then a sealable container to store the oil in. These containers are also extremely handy as they can hold the grease while you're cleaning the deep fat fryer or changing the oils.
This is the Cook N Home Stainless Oil Storage Container

When he signed a three-year deal in March to play for Chip Kelly, James Casey probably didn't envision that he would play just two downs in the season opener.
They weren't even meaningful downs, as the only time Casey jogged onto the field Monday with the starting offense came in the waning seconds, two victory-formations snaps that ticked off the final seconds of the team's 33-27 win over the Redskins.
"Of course, I'm disappointed," Casey said Tuesday, less than 24 hours after his primary contribution to Kelly's coaching debut came in the form of 18 plays on special teams. "I'm not content just sitting on the sidelines, for sure.
"I'm not happy sitting on the sidelines, knowing you want to be out on the field, but I'm just going to keep working, keep preparing, keep practicing hard, showing the coaches what I can do and hopefully if they put me out there I'll be ready to perform."
Casey seemed as confused and uncertain about his role going forward as reporters and fans are, especially after the Eagles moved quickly to sign the former Texans H-back in March to a $12 million deal and bill him as one of the centerpieces of Kelly's tight end-heavy offense.
On the day to announce Casey's signing, Kelly heralded his new multidimensional weapon as the complementary piece to Brent Celek the way Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez benefited from each other's presence in New England's hurry-up attack. (This was pre-Hernandez murder trial, of course).
But the Eagles spent a second-round pick on Stanford tight end Zach Ertz, who quickly ascended up the depth chart at training camp even after missing almost all of the minicamps and organized team activities because of the outdated rule that prohibits college athletes from attending NFL camps until their schools have held graduation ceremonies.
"I came in, of course I signed here expecting to get to play and to get opportunities and be on the field playing offensively, but then they drafted Ertz at the top of the second round and he, of course, is gonna get some opportunities," Casey said. "He's a great player. Brent is a great player. I feel like I'm a really good player. I've still got a tremendous amount of confidence in my ability."
Casey spent his first four seasons in Houston, gradually building his resume until he broke out last season for a personal-best 33 receptions, 330 receiving yards and three touchdowns, floating around different formations in the Texan offense.
"I played for four years. I've started for two years. I'm definitely not lacking the confidence," he continued. "I know I can play. I know if I go out there, if I get opportunities, I'm going to make plays. I'm going to be successful. Just the situation I'm in right now I'm not getting a lot of opportunities, but it's not something I'm gonna pout about, or whine about or complain or try to cause problems in the locker room. I'm getting opportunities on special teams. That's what my role is right now, so I'm trying to be the best I can at that."
Kelly on Tuesday tried to defuse concerns about Casey's disappearing act, insisting that matchups against the Redskins determined the offensive game plan, even though Casey had barely played in any of the final two preseason games.
The Eagles spent much of their frenetic night in Zebra personnel, which consists of three wideouts, one running back and one tight end. When they went to "11 personnel," with two tight ends, Ertz occupied the No. 2 tight end spot. He played 24 snaps, or 30 percent of all offensive plays.
Casey, Kelly explained, isn't in their 11 personnel package.
"A lot of times that dictates what they do. If we're 11, they have more DBs in the game," Kelly said "That was our thought process. That was it. It has nothing to do with James' ability, what we're happy with him, not happy with him. Sometimes we're going to feature three tight ends prominently, and other times we're going to be a little bit more spread. [Monday] night, we were a little bit more spread."
Casey, who missed some of the spring camps to have his knee scoped, said he's confident the offense would be every bit as effective if he were the No. 2 tight end in formations and that he would perform if given the chance.
"If they put me out there I can do the same thing," he said. "I can function in this offense and be very successful. It's just about getting on the field. You can't make plays when you're on the sideline, for sure. But it's out of my control right now."
One issue the coaches won't have is Casey causing problems because of his playing time. He made it clear that his frustrations come second to the team's success. And right now, the Eagles are 1-0.
Casey isn't looking for any explanations, either.
"I don't need them coming, babysitting me and telling me, 'Hey, it's OK, it's fine.' I'm a grown man," he said. "I understand the situation. I'm not gonna get mad about it or try to cause problems. It's just part of what's going on right now. The main thing is we won the game."

As today is the National Day of Prayer, it seems appropriate to comment on the day and on its implications for us as individuals and as a people.
The observance was established by law most recently in 1952 by Congress, which decided it would be a good thing for citizens "to turn to God in prayer and meditation."
Christians of numerous denominations, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and other faiths in the United States observe the day, in their houses of worship and in public meetings, such as the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast, which may be under way as you read this. Other observances will be held during the day, most notable a noon prayer event on the steps of the museum in Courthouse Park.
Atheists either ignore the day or use the occasion to protest the National Day of Prayer's existence. Actually, many people of many faiths also ignore the National Day of Prayer, just as they ignore other religious observances; however, most of those will insist they aren't atheists.
Spirituality tends to be defined within, and is not always easy to measure. There are degrees of it. Some people openly declare their faiths. Others keep it to themselves. Some people need their spiritual beliefs as much as they need oxygen. They are willing, even eager, to share their thinking with others. At the same time, many others are afraid of believing, uncomfortable with the idea there may be a power greater than themselves.
Despite these complexities, people of many cultures and faiths have puzzled over their relationships with God for thousands of years. They have sensed that God is part of their lives, but are confused about how to connect with the deity.
Praying is one way any person can communicate with God — praising, thanking, asking for help for oneself and others. Meditation is how one listens to God — who we are told often speaks to those who would hear in a still, small voice.
Here is a prayer that always works: Almighty God, save me from myself; not my will, but thine be done. Amen.

Do you want work-life balance? Good luck. It's a mythical beast based on one hugely erroneous assumption - that you have control over the world.
The reality (and you probably don't need me to tell you this) is that you DON'T have control over the world. You don't even have real control over your little corner of it (but don't worry - nobody else does either).
You can make choices and take actions that increase the likelihood of balance. You may even start to feel like you really have it under control. But something will always come along and kick the legs right out from under that illusion.
You can be humming along in a nicely balanced state and then BLAM!, something goes south at work and you have to work double-time to keep things from going under. Or your child develops some health issues that requires all your extra time and attention. Suddenly your best efforts at balance go out the window.
Take your best shot at creating a balanced picture, and assume that it will ebb and flow from there. Sometimes it will feel in perfect balance. Sometimes you'll have to kick your work life into overdrive. Other times demands in your personal life will come roaring up. And sometimes it all happens at once.
Part of creating that work-life flow is staying conscious of what is happening. As the inevitable demands on your time and effort crop up, don't just blindly accept them. Make it a habit to ask questions and stay aware.
Ask yourself questions like:
- Am I willing to take this additional commitment on? For how long?
- Does this commitment have an end point?
- If not, is the new level of demand on me sustainable?
- If not, what can I do about it?
- If I take this commitment on, what am I willing to drop?
You'll never reach that perfect sweet spot for any prolonged period of time. Life doesn't come delivered in a tidy package like that. But if you stay aware and exercise the power of choice, you can at least stay in the flow.

The Hunger Games: Fashion and Beauty
On March 23 "The Hunger Games" --the most (apparently) anticipated movie based on a teen novel trilogy since the "Twilight" series -- debuts.
And what better setting than a post-apocalyptic hellscape (which annually forces its young adults to battle to the death on TV) to inspire makeup and fashion?
In that spirit the style and makeup of THG (is that what the kids call it?) are being chronicled across the web.
The "opening ceremony" makeup of protagonist Katniss Everdeen has been dissected (M.A.C. Eyeshadow in Orange plays a key role ) as has the necklace sported by Katniss' stylist friend "Cinna".
Then there are the specially created nail colors for THG by China Glaze which will be sold at Ulta stores and Sally Beauty Supply. Our friend Lisa Liddane over on OC Retail wrote about the colors named after the 12 capitols of Panem - the fictional nation featured in THG.
Check out the colors on the slideshow below:
I haven't read the books but, hey any futuristic dystopic hellscape that includes a stylist and a nail polish as cool the "Agro" has me hooked.
Ciao for now ...

Tim Hetherington, the director of last year's Academy Award Nominated and Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winning war documentary Restrepo has been killed alongside photographer Chris Hondros while filming in Libya. Three other journalists were said to have been injured in the same mortar attack, but details are still sketchy. Hetherington's last Twitter update eerily points to the danger that he and the other journalists were facing, and also seemingly criticizes international forces for their lack of involvement in the current uprising: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
Hetherington's film Restrepo was a documentary about a hotly contested military outpost that was set in one of the most dangerous valleys in Afghanistan. It gained notoriety not only for its craftsmanship, but also for the way it took the viewer inside of deadly war situations, like maybe no other footage before it had. In addition to that film, Hetherington also did several pieces on Afghanistan for ABC's Nightline. The executive producer of Nightline, James Goldston, is quoted as saying, "Tim was one of the bravest photographers and filmmakers I have ever met."

2009 AL Central Preview
The Central Division of the American League could be another tossup this season. Last year, the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox tied for the division crown. The one-game playoff went to the Sox, leaving the Twins out of the post-season. This year the Twins and the Cleveland Indians look good. And don't rule out the slowly improving Kansas City Royals. The White Sox are weaker than they should be and the Tigers are in need of rebuilding.
The Minnesota Twins feature an up-and-coming pitching staff and two of the best hitters in the game—Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. There are some excellent young players on this team who are just finding their stride and the Twins farm system is healthy. This is a team for the present and for the future.
The second spot looks to be the purview of the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe lost a lot of ground last season because of injuries. If they can stay healthy, they've got a young pitching staff and some fine hitters that can keep them in the game. Closer Kerry Wood is a real difference-maker. Mark Shapiro in the front office is a fine GM and can keep this club in the hunt.
The Kansas City Royals could fool some folks in 2009. They've slowly developed their young talent and managed to find some good free agents. GM Dayton Moore has done a good job upgrading the team. Coco Crisp and Mike Jacobs are fine additions. There's not much great here but there is a whole lot of good.
The White Sox have to be worried about injuries to some of their aging hitters. Konerko and Quentin are both injury prone. Slugger Jim Thome is also an injury waiting to happen. Pitcher Jose Contreras suffered from ill health last season and is a question mark for 2009. Manager Ozzie Guillen is loud and cantankerous, but his abrasive manner seems to work. (At least it's entertaining.)
The Detroit Tigers will be hard pressed to do much more than flounder this season. Their starting rotation has two guys coming off of injuries—Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis. DH Gary Sheffield is at the end of his career and may have a tough time staying healthy. Although there are some quality guys, this club needs time to regroup and rebuild. GM Dave Dombrowski spent a lot of money last season most of which was for naught.
The Central Division continues to be in flux. The Royals are not
yet the Rays of last season, but in another year they could be.
One thing is for certain the Minnesota Twins are looking to right
last year's 1- 0 loss to the White Sox. They will be driven
to win it all and they have the talent and management to do it.
The Wild Card will come out of the East and not the Central.
