Component of: glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, anaerobic (extended summary available)
GlpC is the membrane associated subunit of the heterotrimeric glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complex. In anaerobic conditions this respiratory enzyme converts glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) using fumarate a a terminal electron acceptor. Overexpressed GlpC associates with the inner membrane [Varga95]. GlpC contains two cysteine clusters typical of iron-sulfur binding domains [Cole88, Varga95].
[Varga95] uses the name GlpB for the protein encoded by the third gene in the glp operon.

Synonyms: G3P dehydrogenase, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate:(acceptor) 2-oxidoreductase, glycerol-3-phosphate:menaquinone oxidoreductase
Subunit composition of
glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, anaerobic = [GlpA][GlpB][GlpC]
anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase subunit A = GlpA (summary available)
anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase subunit B = GlpB (summary available)
anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase subunit C = GlpC (summary available)
glpABC encodes anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase which catalyses the oxidation of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihyroxyacetone phosphate. GlpABC is a respiratory enzyme; anaerobic growth of E. coli with glycerol and fumarate induces expression of an anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase and is associated with proton translocation and the generation of a proton motive force [Miki78, Miki73, Kistler71].
The GlpABC enzyme is loosely associated with the cell membrane. A functional two subunit form, GlpAB, has been isolated and characterised; it is assumed that the third subunit (GlpC) is responsible for membrane anchoring. The GlpAB complex contains contains 1 molecule of FAD and 2 non-haem irons per dimer; the GlpB subunit is thought to bind flavin mononucleotide [Schryvers81, Cole88]. The GlpC subunit contains two iron-sulfur binding sites; it does not contain any transmembrane helices, so the mechanism by which it acts as the membrane anchor for the complex is not clear [Cole88, Varga95]. Overexpressed GlpC associates with the inner membrane. GlpC is a participant in the electron transport path ( [Varga95] - note that this paper uses the name GlpB for the protein encoded by the third gene in the glp operon).
glpABC is subject to complex transcriptional regulation. Expression of glpABC (along with other members of the glp regulon) is repressed by GlpR and induced by glycerol-3-phosphate; the glp regulon is subject to catabolite repression during growth in the presence of glucose (reviewed in [Lin76], [Larson92] ). Expression of glpABC is positively regulated by the the Fnr transcription regulator [Kuritzkes84, Iuchi90].
E. coli K-12 contains two glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenases encoded by the glpABC and glpD genes. GlpABC is required for anaerobic growth with glycerol or glycerol-3-phosphate and fumarate as the terminal electron acceptor while GlpD is required for aerobic growth with glycerol (or glycerol-3-phosphate). Either enzyme suffices for anaerobic growth on glycerol and nitrate ( [Kistler71, Miki75] and review by [Stewart88]. The ratio of GlpD to GlpABC is high when oxygen or nitrate serves as a terminal electron acceptor and low when fumarate serves this role [Freedberg73].

What do I do if I don't like the grandparent names my parents picked?
My husband and I had issues with fertility and I'm pregnant with our first (16 wks). We tried for 10 years. My in-laws are known as Nanny and Papa (they have 10 grandkids already). My brother has a 3 yr old daughter. My parents have called themselves Nannie and PopPop to her. I asked my mom not to call themselves that as when my niece was born as my in-laws were already well established as Nanny and Papa and when I had a child it would be very confusing, but my mom didn't listen. Can I have my child call my parents something different? Who has the last say on what grandparent names are used?

I think you should let your mom and dad have the names they want ... since your parents have one grandchild who calls them Nannie and PopPop, of course they want all their grandchildren to call them that! Chances are it won't be confusing for your child; I called both sets of grandparents Grandma and Grandpa, and everyone always knew which grandparent I was talking about. Somehow. :) It's all about context, I guess. Your baby is blessed with four loving grandparents, and I promise your parents aren't trying to be difficult. They just want the grandparent-names they're used to. I'd let this battle go. Good luck!posted 12/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree, with the other response. I would let them be Nannie and PopPop. If there is any confusion, try adding an identifier. For example if your parents are Bob and Sue Johnson, call them 'PopPop J' (for Johnson) or Nannie Sue. Do the same with your in-laws so you will always be able be clear. My grandmothers were: Grams Marie and Grandma Z for the 2 different grandmas.posted 12/06/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

My fiancée might be Shelley Duncan's biggest fan. Every time he comes to bat, we must stop what we're doing, and watch silently to the end of the plate appearance. All it takes is one mention of the sobriquet "Dunc-a-Dunc" and she lights up like 12 year old at a Justin Bieber concert.
I'm not quite sure about the roots of this obsession, and I have more than once asked her whether I should take her fawning description of his canine facial features as something I should be worried about. After all, if Shelley Duncan approximates her definition of "handsome", my self-esteem tends go in the toilet.
Further, she might be the only person who is legitimately disappointed when Shelley is not in the starting lineup: "Can't Dunc-a-Dunc play third base? I'm tired of watching Jayson Nix!"
"No," I answer. "I'm tired of Nix too, but Dunc-a-Dunc can decidedly not play third base."
She scowls, and returns to her book. "Well he probably could if they'd let him try it."
While I'm going to stand by my guns on the third base thing, I do believe Duncan is valuable enough to the 2011 Indians to merit a roster spot. First though, let's make sure we're all clear on things that Shelley Duncan can't do. Despite the potential for a minor skirmish on the homefront, he can't play third base. He also can't really play in the outfield—at least not very well. Which means that when he does play in the OF, there probably should be a pretty compelling offensive reason. Finally, he can't be an everyday player. He just has too many weaknesses that could be exploited over the course of a 162-game season.
Let's talk about what he's good at though. Here are the 2010 Indians, ranked by OPS (min 70 PA):
|Shin-Soo Choo
|Carlos Santana
|Travis Hafner
|Russell Branyan
|Austin Kearns
|Shelley Duncan
|Jayson Nix
|Jhonny Peralta
|Jason Donald
|Andy Marte
|Asdrubal Cabrera
|Matt LaPorta
|Trevor Crowe
|Michael Brantley
|Mark Grudzielanek
|Jordan Brown
|Lou Marson
|Grady Sizemore
|Luis Valbuena
Duncan is not really near the top of that list, and a .736 OPS is even worse when you consider that he doesn't bring any defensive value to the table.
But now look at this table. Is this something you might be interested in?
|Shelley Duncan
|Jason Donald
|Lou Marson
|Jhonny Peralta
|Austin Kearns
|Travis Hafner
|Shin-Soo Choo
|Asdrubal Cabrera
|Matt LaPorta
|Trevor Crowe
|Michael Brantley
Looks good for Dunc-a-Dunc, no (and Jason Donald and Lou Marson)? What is this table representing, some odd archaic split of performance on Tuesday's during a lunar eclipse? Nope. That's each player's 2010 OPS against LHP. Believe it or not, Shelley Duncan really raked against LHP last season.
To get a feel for whether this was a blip or something sustainable, let's look at Shelley's career against southpaws. Since he broke into the majors in 2007, Shelley has put up a .262/.335/.488 line against lefties, good for an .823 OPS. His walk-rate is over 10% and his ISO (slugging percentage minus batting average—an indicator of power) is higher than Shin-Soo Choo's and Travis Hafner's.
In other words, against LHP Dunc-a-Dunc is actually good. He gets on base and hits for power—exactly what you'd want.
Couple his prowess against lefties with the dearth of other options the Indians have for 2011 against left handed pitching, and you start to see a real need for Duncan's presence on the roster. Of all the additions to the squad this off-season, Orlando Cabrera is the only right-handed hitter, and no matter what hand the pitcher throws with, he's not going to hit much. We sure believe that Carlos Santana will improve against lefties, and we sure hope that LaPorta will, but that still leaves a huge portion of the roster that struggles against lefties.
Look at the left-handed hitters we currently have, and their career OPS against LHP:
|Nick Johnson
|Travis Hafner
|Travis Buck
|Shin-Soo Choo
|Grady Sizemore
|Michael Brantley
No player on this list has a higher career OPS against lefties than Shelley Duncan had last season. While Nick Johnson appears to be able to hit lefties—his career suggests almost no platoon split whatsoever—Travis Hafner's .823 line is highly inflated by his pre-2008 downfall. Since that season, his highest line against lefties is .706. Not so good.
So yes, Dunc-a-Dunc should be given a spot on this team. In a perfect world, I think he could platoon with Hafner at DH, and serve as a right-handed bat off the bench for pinch hitting appearances against lefty-specialists.
Is he the sexiest choice to make the roster? Probably not, unless you talk to my fiancée. But for a team that is still so heavy on left-handed bats, we might just need to make room for him.

Cable internet is amongst the many forms of high-speed internet service that Eau Claire consumers can choose to utilize. Cable high speed internet functions by transmitting data from the cable service provider to your cable modem in the home. To avoid any disturbance the data is sent using a specified channel. The cable modem captures the signal and brings it to your computer which in turn permits you to access the web.
Cable internet supplies a constant, high-speed connection that's just as fast as that of a cable television connection. Beyond speed the benefits of cable internet service include dependable connection that is not as vunerable to interferences and simple installation that requires little additional equipment.
Major providers of this kind of high speed internet service include Comcast Cable, Time Warner Cable, and Cox Communications.
Satellite high speed internet, unlike cable internet, does not work using cable lines or telephone lines. Rather, a satellite dish attached to the home acts as the data transmitting conduit. Installation of Satellite high speed internet typically includes a satellite dish, plus two modems and connecting cables.
Data signals are transmitted from the satellite internet provider to the orbiting satellites, which are then passed along to the subscriber's satellite dish, that is linked to the computer via the connecting cables and router.
Satellite internet provides high speed internet access to people that live in rural communities in and around Eau Claire that are too far removed from a cable or telephone station to get broadband internet access in any other form. Some of the other great things about Satellite high speed internet are the format in which the data is transmitted, which is compressed, and allows for more users to be served by one satellite at any given moment in time. Satellite modems can also be faster than standard modems.
Dish Network and AT&T are two top rated Satellite high speed internet providers that supply millions of people with reliable services.
DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, high speed internet, operates by sending data through phone lines. Though this is the same method utilized by dial-up internet, DSL high speed internet often delivers a faster connection (depending on where you are) since it uses a higher frequency that's faster than dial-up.
Like the cable and satellite internet services in Eau Claire, WI, this service involves a modem that's connected to the hub, or DSL central office. The internet connection originates at this office and the modem inside the customer's home receives it. DSL high speed internet is relatively simple to set up because it can be installed using the phone line that users already have, and does not require any extra wiring. Users can also make and get telephone calls while online if needed.
AT&T is also known for their superb DSL high speed internet service.**
Fiber Optic high speed internet is the most recent option for obtaining broadband internet in your home. This service operates by sending a signal created by lasers by way of a fiber optic cable, that is connected to an Optical Network Terminal. The Terminal converts the signal into one your computer can interpret.
A major benefit in using fiber optic high speed internet is that it's considerably faster than even cable internet, and is not adversely troubled by weather conditions. Fiber optic cabling has been found to be more dependable, durable and stable than other internet cabling alternatives, which has lead more providers to begin investing in the technology.
If you would like high speed internet that's 100% fiber optic Verizon FiOS is the only option. However, Comcast and AT&T both offer high speed internet that is partially fiber optic.
Want to get the best high speed internet deals in, Eau Claire, WI? Naturally you do, and we will help you find them. Utilizing advanced search-and-compare technology from Saveology.com, we save you money and time by quickly locating every available offer in your area so you don't have to.

Performance Test
The Performance Test (PT) is a three-hour "closed universe" practical exam. The PT is designed to test your ability to apply the law to a real legal problem. There are two PTs on each bar exam. It is administered during the afternoon session of the first and third days of the California bar exam.
The performance exam has three components:
What is a task memo?
The task memo is a set of instructions and is usually in the form of a memo from a mock senior partner. This memo will tell you what kind of legal problem you are faced with and will give you the basic instructions for your assignment. For example, the senior partner may ask you to write a motion for summary judgment on behalf of your client. Or, you may be asked to prepare a discovery memorandum or to write an appellate brief. It is then your job to review the case file and library so that you can prepare the document or documents requested.
What is a case file?
A case file provides you with information on your client and provides you with many of the facts of your case. It may consist of correspondence to and from your client, reports, criminal records, contracts between parties, other applicable documents, deeds of title, prior litigation transcripts, deposition transcripts, declarations, copies of a will etc., and notes entered into the file. It will be your job to determine what significance to place on any of these documents and how to utilize them in your exam answer.
What will be in the library?
The library usually contains three to five cases along with applicable statutes and codes. The library is designed to replicate the legal research that would have been undertaken to resolve the problem. It is then your job to analyze the case law and statutes and to then apply this law to your client's situation. How the cases and statutes are incorporated into your exam answer will depend largely upon the type of document that you are asked to prepare.
The Performance Exam is challenging. It requires excellent time management skills; the ability to make reasoned decisions; write analytically and to follow instructions. The PT gives the Bar Examiners the opportunity to test your ability to resolve and analyze a legal problem, evaluate the strength and weakness of a case, and to prepare legal documents.

Aurora police are calling the attempted kidnapping of an 8-year-old girl their top priority, and are offering their largest reward ever for the capture of the suspect.
Aurora police have doubled the reward, increasing it to $20,000 Tuesday.
Early Monday morning, police say a man climbed into the child's bedroom window and took her.
The little girl began screaming, waking her father up. He raced outside and saw his daughter running back towards him from an alley. It's unclear how she got away.
Police say the suspect was able to get inside by removing the window screen on the bedroom window, then opening the unlocked window. The home is a single-story house.
Authorities told sister station KCNC that at this time, the attempted kidnapping appears random. There are no signs that indicate the family was targeted.
"We're treating this matter extremely seriously," Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told KCNC. "We think there's a predator out there and he has to be stopped and he has to be caught."
The suspect is described as a white man with blond hair. He was wearing a black winter jacket and smelled like cigarette smoke. He may have gotten away in a gray or silver, newer BMW.
The attempted abduction happened on the 1600 block of Hanover Drive in Aurora.
Police are offering a $20,000 reward for any information that can lead to an arrest. If you have any information that can help police, you are asked to call Detective Christine Hurley at 303-739-6113 or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP. If you call Crime Stoppers, you do not have to identify yourself.

- Abstract
- The ability of soft matter such as drops and bubbles to change shape dynamically during interaction can give rise to counter-intuitive behaviour that may be expected of rigid materials. Here we show that dimple formation on approach and the possibility of coalescence on separation of proximal drops in relative motion are examples of this general dynamic behaviour of soft matter that arises from the coupling between hydrodynamic forces and geometric deformations. The film capillary number Caf ≡ (µVo/σ)(R/Ho)2 is the key parameter that determines different behavior and depends on viscosity µ, interfacial tension σ, the Laplace radius R, characteristic film thickness Ho and velocity Vo.

SOCASTEE, S.C. (AP) -- The National Weather Service has confirmed that two small tornadoes touched down in Horry County over the weekend.
A team from the weather service office in Wilmington, N.C., visited the Socastee area Sunday morning to look at the evidence from the storms.
No injuries were reported.
Officials said one of the storms that touched down Saturday had winds of up to 60 mph. Reid Hawking with the weather service says a home under construction collapsed and some of the material struck a nearby house, causing some damage.
A second tornado about the same size touched down nearby and did some damage to the roofs and siding of some homes.

Hearing about the impending "Baconpocolypse," we wanted to understand whether we need to start stockpiling bacon! We asked Dr. James Dunn from Penn State to tell us whether this statement was true, false or somewhere in between on our True? Or not? Meter:
"We will experience a bacon shortage in 2013." Dr. Dunn says this statement is false.
Dr. James Dunn
The headlines were enough to scare any committed bacon fan.
- "Bacon Shortage Worldwide 'Unavoidable' UK Pig Group Says" –CNBC
- "Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable,' Group Says." --CBS
- "Weather a factor in looming global bacon shortage" --the Washington Post weather blog
When the National Pig Association of the United Kingdom sent out a press release warning of a worldwide pork and bacon shortages in an effort to prepare consumers in the UK for higher pork prices, the story spread quickly on social media in the U.S. prompting dramatic media reports of an impending bacon shortage.
But, no worries says Dr. Dunn. "There will be no bacon shortage. The price may be higher, but the bacon will be there. This rumor started in England, I am told, and came here. The pork industry does not like the feed prices, but they are still hard at the task of 'makin' bacon.'"
The drought that gripped the Midwest this summer means fewer soybeans and corn to feed livestock. For livestock farmers, that means higher feed costs that will likely translate into higher food prices for consumers. But, no one expects long lines to grab that last package of bacon from the grocery store shelves. Dr. Dunn says, "you can have as many BLTs as you wish."
That's certainly good news for bacon lovers everywhere!

Saving money on energy is a bright idea
By: Michelle Miller-Carl Journal News Editor
Precious dollars could be leaking out your front door or going down your drain. You may not see the money your appliances cost you (at least not until the bill arrives, anyway), but some simple steps could save you money. If your faucets are leaky, your thermostat unprogramed and your refrigerator more than 10 years old, it may be time to take action. A good place to start would be your cooling system, said Brian Swanson, media relations representative with Pacific Gas & Electric. Swanson said air conditioning and heating make up the biggest chunk of customers' monthly energy bills. PG&E recommends keeping your thermostat at 78 degrees when you are home and 85 when away. "Every degree you set your thermostat below 78 degrees, you're using 3 to 5 percent more energy," Swanson said. "If people really want to focus on reducing energy usage during summer, air conditioning is one of ways do that." Other low- or no-cost ways to save include using compact fluorescent light bulbs and washing clothes and dishes with full loads. Swanson also recommends looking at where the sun comes into your house and planting shade trees or keeping blinds closed during the day to keep your home cool. Dripping hot water faucets are literally money down the drain and can waste 212 gallons of water a month. A more costly measure to save energy would be replacing that old refrigerator. A 10-year-old refrigerator can use twice as much energy as a newer model. "Appliances are more expensive, but in the long run, they will save a lot of energy," he said. "We have rebates available for energy-efficient appliances." Swanson recommends checking pge.com/myhome/saveenergymoney/rebates to see if your new purchase will qualify for a rebate. The Recovery Act signed in February also provides for tax credits on energy-efficient home improvements, allowing you to write off 30 percent of the cost of your new windows, water heater, solar panels and more (see energystar.gov for more information). Some of these cost-saving measures were being put into place at one Auburn home Wednesday. A contractor for PG&E's Energy Partners Program visited Silvia Esteban's family home Wednesday. Low-income customers qualify for the program, which has specialists visit residences to perform free energy-saving upgrades. Residential Weatherization Inc. is the Energy Partners Program contractor in Placer County. Esteban said saving energy and money were the reasons she scheduled the appointment. Sometimes when it's really hot outside, the air-conditioning unit could be running all day, she said. And cooking in the kitchen just makes it hotter, she added. Crew members from Residential Weatherization Inc. inspected window caulking, replaced door weather stripping and lighting fixtures, and checked faucets aerators and showerheads. At this home, the energy savings started at the front door. Weatherization Specialist Sharice LaRose ripped out the old weatherstripping from the door frame. "The other one was so old, light was coming through," she said. Energy Specialist Eddie Punzo also replaced overhead lighting in the home with compact floursecent bulbs, which use a quarter less energy than a standard bulb. Punzo said the water heater, central air and heating and refrigerator are generally the top three energy users in the home. The Energy Parners Program, which is funded by a charge to ratepayers, could also provide a free energy-efficient refreigator or air conditioner to qualifying residents, whether they own or rent their home. Punzo said everyone, regardless of their income, is looking to save money and energy during the rough economy. "All different types of people are getting this work done nowadays," he said. "And it feels good to help people out." Michelle Miller-Carl can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. ---------- Want to audit yourself? PG&E has an online tool called SmartEnergy Analyzer where customers can upload information about their home, appliances and even previous bills to pinpoint ways to save energy and find out how their usage stacks up to the average household. Check it out at pge.com/myhome/saveenergymoney/analyzer. Energy Partners Program For more information, visit pge.com/energypartners or call (800) 989-9744. ---------- Energy saving tips -Replace and recycle your old refrigerator and purchase energy-efficient models. -Insulate ceilings to R-30 standards if your attic has less than R-19. -Weatherstrip around windows and doors. -Wrap heating and cooling ducts with duct wrap, or use mastic sealant. -Install energy-saver showerheads. -Set the furnace thermostat at 68 degrees or lower, and the air-conditioner thermostat at 78 degrees or higher, health permitting. -Use compact fluorescent lamps. -Replace old windows with new high performance dual pane windows. -Clean or replace furnace and air-conditioner filters regularly, following manufacturer's instructions. -Set the water heater thermostat at 140 degrees or "normal" if you have a dishwasher. -Fix defective plumbing or dripping faucets. -Wash only full loads in a dishwasher and use the shortest cycle that will get your dishes clean. -Install shades, awnings or sunscreens on windows facing south and/or west to block summer light. ~ Pacific Gas & Electric ---------- What does it cost you? Monthly estimated cost to run your appliances: Dishwasher - $6 Television - $5-6 Refrigerator - $9-16 Central AC - $18-35 Ceiling fan – 63 cents Clothes dryer - $5-9 Hair dryer – 13 cents-$1 Water heater - $20-38 ~ Pacific Gas & Electric

Article Date: 6/1/2011
Although the comanagement protocol for patients who have vitreo/retinal disorders has been debated, there remains no solid foundation for the comanagement of these patients. In other words, no identifiable written-guidelines concerning these patients exists.1 In order for both the patient and the primary-care doctor to achieve successful outcomes, I believe the following three items should comprise the comanagement protocol concerning patients who have vitreo/retinal disorders:
In order to effectively diagnose and comanage a patient who has a vitreo/retinal disorder, the primary-care optometrist must understand clinical anatomy, alteration of that clinical anatomy and the implications of that alteration.
An example: The presence of intraretinal edema and the proximity of that edema to the foveal avascular zone. With newer techniques for managing this type of situation, such as anti-VEGF therapy, coupled with early intervention resulting in optimum outcomes, it is incumbent on the primary-care optometrist to recognize this, among other anatomical changes.2-8
Possessing such knowledge enables the primary-care optometrist to know when to hold the patient and when to ask for a consult. Over-referral is not productive, but timely consultation is productive.
This photo shows retinal pigment epithelial disease with probable underlying choroidal disease. The process is creating outer retinal edema lifting both the RPE and the neurosensory retina. Without knowledge of clinical anatomy, alteration of that clinical anatomy and the implications of that alteration, the primary-care O.D. cannot effectively diagnose nor comanage patients who have vitreo/retinal disorders.
The proper clinical tools will assist the primary-care optometrist in understanding underlying clinical disease and applying timely consult requests. With that said, realize that you cannot diagnose and comanage what you cannot see. In their early stages, virtually all posterior pole vitreo/retinal disease is not observable without time- or spectral domain technology. (A partial list of posterior pole vitreo/retinal disorders that are difficult if not impossible to visualize in their early or subtle stages with standard techniques, such as ophthalmoscopy and fundus lens examination, are represented in Table 1.) If the primary-care optometrist has the diagnostic tools to effect early diagnosis, those very same tools can enable the effective follow-up of that patient within the realm of comanagement.
Table 1. Difficult to Visualize
Additionally, concerns exist regarding retinal issues outside the posterior pole, such as a retinal break and small peripheral malignancy. Early intervention results in better outcomes in these issues as well. To identify and comanage peripheral retinal disorders, however, you must utilize peripheral viewing technology in the form of routine binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and/or wide-view imaging technology.
While from an epidemiological standpoint the posterior pole presents problems more frequently, issues in the peripheral retina do create significant threats to vision, so it's essential to look for these conditions as well.
This photo shows spectral domain imaging of change analysis regarding diabetic macular edema pre- and post-anti-VEGF injection. This management of change analysis is critical in the comanagement arena.
Now, armed with a good understanding of applied clinical anatomy and physiology and the right tools for diagnosis and comanagement, the primary-care optometrist must meet with the retinal specialist and develop a specific protocol regarding the specialist's provision of care and the comanagement of care.
A written protocol, or algorithms, ensure compliance with a number of issues including: (1) the best interest of the patient, (2) proper pre-appointed follow-up, and most importantly (3) a formal two-way communication between the primary-care optometrist and the retinal specialist, which is a mandate of Medicare payment and legal guidelines.
While every patient is unique and every intervention must be tailored to the patient, certain general guidelines can be elucidated and followed. These guidelines must be "plastic" and routinely modified based on the evolution of "new" diagnostic techniques and intervention. (See "Comanagement Algorithm for Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion," below.)
The cornerstone of all comanagement is communication between the primary-care optometrist and the retinal specialist. This communication must be maintained throughout the care of the patient and must be appropriately documented in the chart of both healthcare providers. Remember as well that guidelines dictate that there must be a written transfer agreement between the specialist and the primary provider.9 This is so the primary-care optometrist can get reimbursed for his services, and it's a general rule.
Here's an example of a peripheral retinal disorder that would have been difficult to find without either a dilated binocular ophthalmoscopic examination or wide-field imaging.
Without a solid foundation for the comanagement of vitreo/retinal disorders, we may miss these conditions, placing our patients at risk for vision loss, and/or we may lose these patients to other eyecare practitioners. By following the aforementioned comanagement protocol, however, I believe primary-care optometrists have an excellent chance of achieving successful outcomes for both their patients and practice. OM
I challenge the professions to develop and publish a basic management protocol by way of consensus panels to assure improved patient care and better efficiencies within the healthcare system.

Sir David ChipperfieldEngland (1953)
A world-renowned British architect, Sir David Chipperfield applies values of intelligence, permanence and logic to his projects. He has firmly established himself in the middle ground between the other-worldly, over-the-top designs of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid and the dull, lifeless design of so much modern development. "I don't think architecture is radical," he told the Guardian in 2011. "How can something that takes years and costs millions be radical?"
After studying at the Kingston School of Art and the Architectural Association of London, the architect worked under Douglas Stephen, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster before establishing his own practice in 1984. David Chipperfield Architects gained notoriety first in Japan, then in Continental Europe, where his signature modernist austerity was revered. He was knighted in 2004, but it took his native England a long time to acknowledge his genius. Major contracts in Japan, Germany and the Unites States came long before acclaimed projects like the galleries Hepworth Wakefield and Turner Contemporary in his native country. He has continued to build his reputation with a wide assortment of notable buildings, including museums, retail spaces, hotels, office buildings and residences worldwide.
Chipperfield received international accolades for his 2003 reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Eastern Berlin, which had been badly damaged in World War II and sat in ruins for more than half a decade. Using materials like recycled bricks and adding elements that echoed the original structures without simply copying them, Chipperfield honored the past of the historic structure (an UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site since 1999), while infusing it with the modernist style of the new millennium. The building was controversial initially, with detractors accusing him of preserving too much of the Nazi legacy. But ultimately, Chancellor Angela Merkel deemed it "one of the most important museum buildings in European cultural history."
David Chipperfield has been the proud recipient of numerous awards, including the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2007 for his Museum of Modern Literature in Germany, the most respected architecture award in England. He has also applied his rational and well-researched design approach to products for Alessi, Cassina IXC, Artemide, B&B Italia and others. A thoughtful and intellectual architect, Chipperfield takes the long view when it comes to design. "The difference between good and bad architecture," he says, "is the time you spend on it."

Delayed Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolisms are extremely common and can be lethal. A competent doctor should be able to quickly identify them, and proceed accordingly. A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot comes loose and travels through the bloodstream, eventually settling and obstructing blood flow to or from the lungs. This type of blood clot can block the exchange of gases necessary for survival.
If you have lost a loved one due to a pulmonary embolism that went undetected, please call the Pittsburgh medical malpractice lawyers at Richards & Richards, LLP, today. Our trained medical and legal staff can quickly review the medical records to determine if a mistake has been made.
Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism
There are several symptoms that typically lead to a pulmonary embolism diagnosis. They may include a sudden shortness of breath, rapid breathing, chest pain or tightness, a bad cough, coughing up blood, swelling, leg pain, dizziness and sometimes loss of consciousness - all of which can lead to death. The most common cause of pulmonary embolism is a deep venous thrombosis (DVT), in which a blood clot blocks a deep vein, often in the arm or leg. Sometimes cancer treatments cause pulmonary embolisms or DVTs. Other causes include obesity, pregnancy, trauma, or being immobilized after surgery.
Pulmonary embolism is common in all age groups
Any time a person has be immobilized for a period of time, there can be a risk for a pulmonary embolism. Unfortunately we have seen cases where someone was diagnosed with anxiety because no one looked for a pulmonary embolism. There are many common warning signs of a Pulmonary Embolism.
Doctors Must Be On Guard for Dangerous Pulmonary Embolisms
If doctors have even a suspicion that a pulmonary embolism has occurred, they can conduct a range of simple blood tests, lung screenings, or other scans. Sadly, misdiagnosis and doctor negligence are all too common in Pennsylvania, and pulmonary embolisms often go untreated. People are often discharged from the hospital with one or all of the symptoms associated with a pulmonary embolism, and the results of such misdiagnosis can be serious and even fatal.
If you or a loved one has suffered from pulmonary embolism misdiagnosis and were not properly screened for DVT, or were discharged from the hospital after presenting with any of the above symptoms, you need to consult with a Pittsburgh medical malpractice lawyer today to see if you have a case.
Free medical malpractice case evaluation
The Pittsburgh, PA area medical malpractice attorneys of Richards & Richards, LLP, offer free, no-obligation initial consultations in a range of personal injury cases, including those involving medical malpractice and related wrong diagnosis and medical negligence issues. Please contact our lawyers at 866-740-3999 or 412-253-2092 as soon as possible. If you cannot make it to our Pittsburgh, PA or Warrendale, PA offices, our attorneys can meet with you at your home or hospital.

Education Jokes

Came across thos on on another UK site recently:
How many teachers does it take to change a light-bulb? Well hang on a minute! You can't go changing a light-bulb just like that. You need a plan - long, medium and short-term - or your method of changing the bulb will be in question. And of course, you need to be very clear what you are trying to achieve by changing it - that will need writing down and handing out to anybody who happens to be watching you change the light-bulb. Furthermore, some account will need to be made for the fact that the light bulb may not be very bright - you can't just discard it. You will also need to spend time assessing your procedure after the event, with a clear emphasis on taking the bulb-changing process to the next stage. Oh and there is the question of changing other bulbs on a voluntary basis after hours...

An English builder is keen to implement the EUs policy of job mobility, so he advertises a job in an international trade paper. Three applicants turn up: a Frenchman, a German and an Irishman. When the builder interviews them he points out that a basic knowledge of English is essential, especially of terms used in the building trade, so he has devised a little test. He asks each one of them the same question: Can you explain to me the difference between girder and joist?
The Frenchman shrugs his shoulders, admitting that he does not understand the terms. The German also admits that he has no idea.
Before the builder puts the question to the Irishman, he says I know you speak English, but in the interests of equal treatment I have to ask you the same question as the other two: What is the difference between girder and joist?
The Irishman replies, Sure, everyone knows that. Goethe wrote Faust and Joyce wrote Ulysses.
I guess most people know that what the English call Irish jokes originated as Kerryman jokes in Ireland and there are some very good ones.

Me walking Phyllis down the aisle was supposed to be the highlight of the wedding. And now, the wedding has no highlight.
Despite my illness, I made it to the wedding. Everything was perfect and it went off without a hitch. I've never seen my brother happier. What I didn't expect was a million pictures of ME in the slideshow. That's the burden of the second child, he never got pictures alone. So there WE were, growing up together. Hello bad perm of 1986. I didn't need to see that again, thanks.The best part was getting to see cousins and aunts and uncles, and friends that I rarely get to see anymore. It was very much a Chinese wedding, and seeing as how I did the menus - I knew what I was in for. Being the bad asian that I am, there were only about 3 dishes I would actually eat, stomach sickness or no. Still, everyone else ate up, and ten courses later, all tummies were full and my brother and his wife lived happily ever after.

A former U.S. Marine who smuggled dozens of pistols into the United Kingdom is scheduled to be sentenced in a federal court in Greenville.
Steven Neal Greenoe pleaded guilty last year to exporting firearms from the United States without a license and traveling in foreign commerce to deal in firearms without a license.
Prosecutors say he brought 63 pistols in his checked luggage on flights to Britain, where he then sold them. In Britain, where few police officers regularly carry guns, the case has been a cause of significant concern.
Authorities said he disassembled the weapons and disguised them as engineering samples and inert weapons, then concealed them in his luggage.
Greenoe faces up to 30 years in prison.

A Massachusetts woman says her cat went to the veterinarian for a flea bath and was mistakenly euthanized instead.
Colleen Conlon of Gardner is grieving the loss of the cat, 8-year-old Lady, which she attributes to "negligence" by the vet.
Her son took Lady to the Broadway Animal Hospital last week and unknowingly authorized the cat to be put to sleep after he says he was handed the wrong forms.
He says he learned of the mix-up when he returned with a second cat and the vet asked him if he wanted to keep the bodies.
Conlon doesn't think the vet had any "malicious intent." But she's filed a complaint with the attorney general's office and plans to talk with the state Board of Registration.
The veterinarian didn't return a call from the Telegram & Gazette seeking comment.

text: Pain (typeset as PAIN) is a musical project from Sweden that mix heavy metal with influences from electronic music and techno. The project started out as a hobby project for front man Peter Tägtgren, whose idea was to fuse heavy metal with 1980s-inspired electro-industrial and techno influences. Tägtgren, who is also the vocalist/guitarist of Hypocrisy and producer of his own The Abyss studios, is the only current member. He has mentioned his influence to start the project was Fear Factory's 1992 album Soul of a New Machine. Pain's self titled debut was released in 1997, and since then Pain has released five more albums and a DVD. Starting with their second, all of Pain's albums have made the Swedish charts, thanks in large part to hit singles such as "End of the Line", "Shut Your Mouth", and "Same Old Song". In early February 2006, Blabbermouth.net reported that Pain had signed with Roadrunner Records. Currently, Pain is under the Nuclear Blast Records banner. In 2008, Pain was on tour as a supporting performer for the Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. During this tour singer Peter Tägtgren, drummer David Wallin and bassist Johan Husgafvel were assaulted by a gang in Leipzig. Peter received 10 stitches in his face, David suffered a concussion and stitches to his head, Johan had his nose broken.

Actor-producer Vin Diesel had to fight to bring his character back to the big screen
"Riddick" >
Rating: R
When: Opens Friday
Where: Wide release
vin diesel's birth name is mark Sinclair Vincent. His fraternal twin brother, Paul Vincent, is a film editor.
Thump. Thump.
That's the sound the golf cart makes each time it strikes the uneven pavement as it transports Vin Diesel across the Universal Studios back lot. He's traveling from his bungalow office to a screening room where "Riddick" crew members have gathered to watch the third installment of the sci-fi series starring the 46-year-old actor-producer as an extraterrestrial ex-con.
"It's such a victory that this movie is going to be in theaters," he says in his signature growly tone.
Indeed, when it comes to "Riddick," Diesel is all too familiar with hitting bumps in the road. It took the "Fast & Furious" star nearly a decade (and millions of dollars in fundraising) to bring his see-in-the-dark anti-hero back to the big screen. Universal had jettisoned a possible third edition after 2004's "Chronicles of Riddick" didn't soar at the box office.
Despite the fact that "Chronicles of Riddick" and its 2000 predecessor "Pitch Black," as well as a pair of "Riddick" video games, amassed a cult following, it seemed that Riddick would be forever lost in space.
However, Diesel remained undeterred. He worked with series writer-director David Twohy to resuscitate Riddick, obtaining the film rights after Universal passed.
"I started in the independent (film) world, but this was a new level of challenge for me," said Diesel.
He treated the sequel just like an indie film project, not unlike the 1990s self-funded movies "Multi-Facial" and "Strays," which first transformed the burly New Yorker from bouncer to actor-producer. Between filming "Fast & Furious" movies, he traveled to Germany with Twohy to woo enough investors to persuade the studio to come back on board.
"This character struck a chord," said Diesel, who points to his 46 million Facebook fans as the reason for taking several risks — including almost leveraging his own house when bills couldn't be paid — to recover Riddick. "He's tangible for them. I think the idea of a character that has been misread, overlooked and given up on is very fascinating to people."
The original "Pitch Black," which introduced the ruthless Richard B. Riddick amid an eclectic group of spaceship crash survivors, cost $23 million and went on to earn $53 million worldwide. The follow-up heavily expanded on the first film's spacey mythology and budget. It cost $105 million but wasn't ultimately a blockbuster, bringing in a so-so $115 million worldwide.
"Riddick," which opens Friday and leanly cost between $35 and $40 million, blends elements from both chapters, keeping the ornate look of "Chronicles" but dispatching with its PG-13 interstellar politics in favor of the R-rated terror of "Pitch Black." The film strands the Furyan bad boy on a desolate planet where he's hunted by dueling bands of mercenaries.
"For both of us, it was like going home again," said Twohy. "No matter what part of the world we're in, whether it's the Australian outback where we shot 'Pitch Black,' or Vancouver where we filmed the second movie, or inside an old train depot in Montreal where we shot 'Riddick,' it just feels like home when we're together making a Riddick movie."
