What is TB skin test?
Trichophyton extract for diagnostic skin testing is a sterile solution that is prepared by extracting allergenic source material of equal parts of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum with an aqueous solution of 0.25% sodium chloride, 0.125% sodium bicarbonate and 50% glycerol v/v. Phenol is added at 0.4% w/v as a preservative. Extract for intradermal administration is diluted with the above solution without glycerol. WEIGHT BY VOLUME (W/V) Weight by volume refers to the weight of raw product added to a measured volume of extraction solution. A 1:500 w/v extract contains 1 gram of source material in 500 mL of solution. The w/v designation refers to concentration rather than potency. Extract labeled w/v has no U.S. Standard of Potency. Intradermal skin tests with Trichophyton extract are indicated for use in persons who are suspected of having Type I hypersensitivity (i.e. allergy) to the fungus.

TB skin test information from trusted sources:
An infectious disease caused by the tubercle bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and characterized pathologically by inflammatory infiltrations, formation of tubercles, caseation, necrosis, abscesses, fibrosis, and calcification. It most commonly affects the respiratory system but other parts of the body such as gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, bones, joints, nervous system, lymph nodes, and skin may become infected. Fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals (esp. cattle) are subject to the disease. Three types of tubercle bacillus exist, namely, human, bovine, and avian. Man may become infected by any of the three types but in the U.S.A., the human type predominates. Infection usually is acquired from contact with an infected person or an infected cow or trough drinking contaminated milk. Tuberculosis may occur in an acute generalized form (miliary tuberculosis) or in a chronic localized form. In man, the primary infection usually consists of a localized lesion and regional adenitis, these constituting the primary complex. From this state, lesions may heal by fibrosis and calcification and the disease exist in an arrested or inactive stage. Reactivation or exacerbation of the disease or reinfection gives rise to the chronic progressive form. Many varieties of Mycobacteria that previously were thought to be nonpathogenic for man have been found to cause chronic progressive pulmonary disease closely resembling pulmonary tuberculosis. These organisms have been termed anonymous or atypical Mycobacteria. They have been classified into four groups: photochromogens, scotochromogens, nonphotochromagens, and rapid growers.

Lauzon urges support for failed city and school budgetsApril 24,2013
By David Delcore
Staff Writer
BARRE – Mayor Thomas Lauzon says he didn't support either of the major budget proposals that were handily rejected by Granite City voters last month, but he does now.
Citing adjustments that have been made to spending plans for both the city and its centralized elementary school, and what he views as a now-tolerable increase in the local tax rate, Lauzon said Tuesday night that he is prepared to vote for both budgets next month and is urging others to do the same.
"I am hopeful that people will get out and recognize the effort that has gone (into revising these budgets)," he said, suggesting the sticker shock that prompted voters to decisively defeat them on Town Meeting Day was certainly understandable.
Lauzon said even he voted against the proposed budgets, which would have collectively added more than 13 cents to the local tax rate, an increase of about 4.9 percent. That increase would have meant paying an additional $136.50 in property taxes for every $100,000 in assessed value.
Thanks to a "team effort" that was a mix of "hard work" and good fortune, numbers Lauzon once viewed as "too high" are now about right, according to the mayor.

AbstractToyon proposes to develop a low-power and compact reconfigurable radio specifically targeted to NASA mission needs. We envision the radio to be well matched to small satellites, terrestrial ground links, and autonomous vehicles. The design is based on the latest in field programmable gate array (FPGA) and general purpose processors (GPP). Typical software defined radios (SDRs) rely heavily on digital signal processors (DSPs) due to their ease of software development and ability to multitask well. Our emphasis will be on performing all baseband processing inside the FPGA due to its ability to offer over an order of magnitude increase in computational efficiency. While this approach does significantly decrease power consumption and associated platform size, it requires special considerations, particularly in terms of software development. As such, we will leverage Toyon's ongoing experience in computationally efficient waveform and associated software development using the latest in FPGA behavioral design tools. In addition, the architecture will stress logic component reuse between multiple waveforms to support rapid reconfiguration as well as reduce development time. Our RF front-end design will be a direct-conversion architecture to reduce size and provide frequency agility. The use of open-standards interfaces will provide for rapid systems integration.

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK; Creative Cannibalism Nibbles at the Audience's Trust
By JANET MASLIN
Published: August 26, 1999
When an author submits his most famous character to plastic surgery, the reasons aren't likely to be literary. So the most egregious thing in Thomas Harris's ''Hannibal'' -- and this is a book with a major hanging-disembowling sequence, not to mention one in which a character is made to swallow a killer eel until ''blood blew out'' of his ''nose hole and he was drowning'' -- is the face lift of Hannibal Lecter.
When Hannibal makes his entrance, disguised as an art expert in Italy, he is said to look dimly like himself but also different, thanks to the surgeon's knife. In her dreams Clarice Starling envisions ''Dr. Lecter's old face,'' which he demolished at the end of the last installment, as opposed to his new one. Translation: Maybe Anthony Hopkins will want to do the movie, but let's keep our options open if he says no.
This is a tipoff to the hidden attitude at work in Mr. Harris's amazingly nasty beach book and in so many other pop cultural successes of the moment. It either can't or won't stand alone. And it counts on other media, secondhand star quality, spinoffs or tie-ins to help make its connection with popular tastes. That sets it off from the more genuine, unencumbered work that needs no such calling cards. Nobody could accuse the beguiling music documentary ''Buena Vista Social Club'' of cashing in because its elderly Cuban stars have a hit record.
The accumulated impact of this much stealth marketing, and of the cultural cross-pollination that synergy entails, is to foster an atmosphere of deep mistrust. All too rare is the pleasure of reading, hearing or watching something that doesn't seem to have an agenda.
Hannibal's nips and tucks are a tipoff to the kind of thinking that makes Mr. Harris's latest Lecter thriller the kind of novel that generates its own waves of queasiness, so different from the others. Although he wrote ''The Silence of the Lambs'' with such sharp, arresting detail that it felt like a film before it became one, the ensuing popularity of the novel and Jonathan Demme's expert film adaptation changed the game.
Mr. Harris began thinking cinematically, to the point of devising loony but visually striking scenes (like the quasi-fantasy sequence that ends the book, setting it up for another sequel) and offering descriptions that sound like stage directions. (''Click of a switch and a low lamp comes on. Now we can see Dr. Lecter seated at a 16th-century refectory table in the Capponi Library.'') Once a cinematic novelist, Mr. Harris now writes like a director without a camera.
Blame demon synergy for poisoning the waters in this way. It means that the free-standing pop-cultural enterprise is increasingly difficult to find.
Movies are wallpapered with hit music, as if audience could not be trusted to like the film in its own right. ''Saturday Night Fever'' is about to join ''Footloose'' as a Broadway show hitched to the coattails of a nostalgic film hit. Talk magazine, with its Miramax pedigree, has run several articles (about a Virginia trailer park and a safari massacre) that won't seem fully realized unless cameras roll. And the major cultural event of the summer has been the way ''The Blair Witch Project,'' with synergistic brilliance, has revolutionized movie marketing. The film itself is modest, with an astonishing tail to wag the dog.
With going to the movies becoming an increasingly synergistic experience, it's easy to lose sight of the main event, since there can be so much happening on the sidelines. The sales pitch at a movie theater used to start at the front door, with posters meant to build anticipation for next week's feature. Now, evidently, that space is too valuable to be wasted on mere film imagery.
So more and more poster frames carry outright advertising, and more ads greet you when the lights go down. And they aren't simply ads for soda pop and car dealers anymore. They're ads for competitive enterprises that actually diminish your willingness to leave your house.
So movie theaters now carry spots for made-for-cable films (and these often look more enticing than the feature film trailers that surround them). There are ads for Web sites that have nothing much to do with either film or television drama. At a recent showing of ''American Pie'' there was even an ad for a Web site allowing the user to call up six-minute mini-dramas at random. That's the equivalent of fast-food storytelling for those who find ''American Pie'' too dramatically complex.
The sensation evoked by anything like the recent ''Detroit Rock City,'' an extended promotional tool for the ancient band Kiss, is meant to be one of teen-age hedonism, but instead it prompts fury. Why pay for the privilege of being inundated by hype and clobbered by a Kiss-heavy soundtrack?
On the other hand, you can now buy T-shirts that simply say ''Millennium 2000,'' establishing you as a meaningless billboard for an unfathomable event that hasn't occurred yet. We're much too used to serving as walking billboards and, when it comes to pop-cultural synergy, sitting ducks.

In general phrases, your marketing program objective answers the actual question "How can i overcome my primary marketing challenge(s)? " If your business is a fresh Web-based business, for example, a main challenge might be figuring out how to use your Web site to better build client business. An objective, therefore, may be "To boost online client service in addition to build site attention and interest along with clients. "

Hello to Spring and New Beginnings! Important Announcement!
Our first crocuses opened their purple petals just in time for Holy Week. The wind is still a bit chilly, but the lilacs are donning whispering leaves. 4
Spring is really here! I'm looking forward to nature walks, garden planting, and joyful voices at the playground. One of my kids came home the other day with the first sunburn of the season.
Just as the landscape is undergoing a transformation, so is our homeschool.
I remember last year around this time I was thinking about giving up this home education thing. My kids were having a hard time getting along (growing pains) and I was having a hard time in my heart. I wondered if it would be best for my oldest to attend high school in a brick-and-mortar school. I wondered if my 2nd oldest needed a break from the rest of us.
In retrospect, I think it was the 7-year-itch. It was the middle of my 7th year as a homeschooling mama and it was a hard year for me. If I'm completely honest, it continued to be hard until quite recently. I think I'm over the hump, now. Our home learning continues to be an important and enriching part of our lives.
But part of getting over that hump was coming to some important realizations.
1st Realization: I love teaching my kids.
I love learning alongside them. And I love talking with them every day about the things that are important to them. I love knowing first hand what they are learning about, but also being taken completely by surprise when they teach me something that they have learned on their own. They teach me something new every day!
2nd Realization: My kids love learning together, but they can seriously get on each other's nerves.
Most of us are introverts. We like people, but we also need space and time to recharge (away from everyone) on a regular basis.
3rd Realization: I was (am) worrying too much about fitting our learning into "acceptable" patterns.
There isn't one right way to do high school. There isn't one optimal course through the foundational grades. I knew that in my head, but I still found my plans being heavily influenced by what others think is a rigorous, engaging course of study rather than what really and truly works best for my crew.
The reality is that my kids are not the norm. Nobody is. And trying to stuff them into the accepted course was, well, it wasn't working for anybody.
4th Realization: Sometimes simpler really is better.
The best curriculum is the one that gets done. I'm not going to get into all the plans I had for this year that didn't happen (and there are lots of reasons), but what we are doing right now is much simpler and it's working! It is the best plan for us because it's getting done. The kids are learning so much.
My grand plans may have looked better on paper (or in a blog post), but this, this is what works and so it's what we will stick with. For now.
This same realization applies to so much more than just homeschooling.
5th Realization: There is so much more to me than being a homeschool mom, a mom, or a wife.
And in just a few short years, my kids will start graduating from my homeschool and I will have more time to pursue my interests. But, here's the thing---none of us know how long we have on this earth. Don't continually put off until tomorrow what you can start today.
6th Realization:
Deep Breath.
It's time for a new beginning.
I will be retiring this blog and starting a new site (the new site is a way to help me focus on the 5th Realization above). When the new site goes live sometime in the next couple of weeks, I will post an update here to let you know where to find it.
This decision has been a long time in coming. In fact, I've owned the domain for the new site for over a year and it's taken me this long to go ahead with it. It's hard for me to let go of a good thing. I've put a lot of myself into this site, but I know that putting it aside is for the best.
Homeschooling Hearts & Minds will remain here as an archive for homeschoolers looking for the resources I've accumulated over the years, so no worries about downloading everything before it is gone.
But over the next couple of weeks I will be shutting down the comments, follows, etc. I may keep the FB and Twitter pages intact, haven't decided for sure (let me know if you want to still connect about homeschooling on FB).
Please be aware that I may or may not renew the domain name when it comes up for renewal at the end of this year. If I do not renew, I will revert it back to its blogspot address and will post an update here.
The Virtual Curriculum Fair will run again in 2016, but I have turned it over to a group of lovely homeschool blogging friends of mine. I will post an update about its new home at some point in the future.
So, please stay posted---and look for my new home on the web in the next couple of weeks.
He is Risen!

Don't Compare Your Darkest Moments to Someone's Highlight Reel
The other day I read a post where the blogger was showing you how to stage your own "baby birthday cake smash" photography session without having to hire a professional photographer. It got me thinking about how what we see around us is getting further and further from reality.
Babies have been smashing cake on their first birthdays for…well, for a long, long, LONG time. And while it may be a memorable family event that mamas and papas would want to capture on film (or digital memory), this idea of staging it in a photography studio or hiring a photographer to come out and stage it for you is…well, somehow it seems contrary to the whole thing here.
One of the attractions of "candid" photos taken by a non-professional is that the resulting pics are real, not merely staged phantoms of what is real. But real.
This really happened.
But then there are those professional photos that are carefully lit, posed, and retouched. Even when they are of things that really happened (whether it be in the moment or a recreation), there is a quality of unreal about them.

A Perfect Meal for Ash Wednesday
After fasting all day while schooling, then rushing off to our homeschool group's Little Flowers Girls Club and Boy-Powered Creations Club , and finally coming home at dinner time…well it was nice to have a hearty, meatless meal waiting in the crockpot.
Not sure what to call it…started out as a bean soup, but then thickened to more of a chili consistency. Whatever you call it, it was good. I served this with a loaf of bread from the bread machine.

Art: Playing with Charcoal
I've heard it said that homeschooled kids don't get exposed to real art instruction or making a mess with real art supplies unless those things are outsourced, because moms and dads don't want to deal with the clean up.
Don't be afraid to make messes. Life is messy and so is learning! When we make mistakes (or happy accidents, depending upon how you look at them), we learn. We grow in the making and the cleaning up.
Besides, if I were afraid of cleaning up messes, I'd have to outlaw pencils and erasers. Those little rubber doobers get everywhere and it seems at least one kid always has a graphite blackened hand, which can easily leave a find handprint on a wall. So today we dabbled in charcoal.

Aetna considers ultrasound of the spine and para-spinal tissues medically necessary in newborns and infants for the following indications:
Aetna considers ultrasound of the spine and para-spinal tissues medically necessary when performed intra-operatively.
Aetna considers diagnostic ultrasound of the spine and para-spinal tissues experimental and investigational for evaluation of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and all other indications (e.g., in the practice of neuraxial (epidural and subarachnoid) blocks, and to assist in lumbar puncture (except in newborns and infants)) because its effectiveness for these indications has not been established.
Aetna considers the SonixGPS (a real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia system) experimental and investigational because its effectiveness has not been established.Background
This policy is based on position statements of the American College of Radiology (ACR), and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
The ACR (1996) adopted the following statement on spinal ultrasound: "Over the past several years interest has developed in the use of ultrasound technology for the evaluation of the spine and paraspinal regions in adults. While diagnostic ultrasound is appropriately used 1) intraoperatively; 2) in the newborn and infants for the evaluation of the spinal cord and canal; and 3) for multiple musculoskeletal applications in adults, there is currently no documented scientific evidence of the efficacy of this modality in the evaluation of the paraspinal tissues and the spine in adults. Any claims or inferences that the use of spinal or paraspinal ultrasound is more advantageous or has a greater diagnostic accuracy than established procedures such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cannot be made today based on recognized medical research."
An AAN Report (1998) on spinal ultrasound for the evaluation of back pain and radicular disorders concluded: "Currently, no published peer reviewed literature supports the use of diagnostic ultrasound in the evaluation of patients with back pain or radicular symptoms. The procedure cannot be recommended for use in the clinical evaluation of such patients."
The American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine (AIUM, 2002) made the following official statement: "There is insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature establishing the value of non-operative spinal/paraspinal ultrasound in adults. Therefore, the AIUM states that, at this time, the use of non-operative spinal/paraspinal ultrasound in adults (for study of facet joints and capsules, nerve and fascial edema, and other subtle paraspinous abnormalities) for diagnostic evaluation, for evaluation of pain or radiculopathy syndromes, and for monitoring of therapy has no proven clinical utility. Non-operative spinal/paraspinal ultrasound in adults should be considered investigational. The AIUM urges investigators to perform proper double-blind research projects to evaluate the efficacy of these diagnostic spinal ultrasound examinations."
Glotzbecker and colleagues (2009) noted that the risk of thrombo-embolic disease is well-studied for some orthopedic procedures. However, the incidence of post-operative thrombo-embolic disease is less well-defined in patients who have had spinal surgery. These investigators performed a systematic review on thrombo-embolic disease in spinal surgery. The Medline database was queried using the search terms deep venous thrombosis or DVT, pulmonary embolus, thromboembolic disease, and spinal or spine surgery. Abstracts of all identified articles were reviewed. Detailed information from eligible articles was extracted. Data were compiled and analyzed by simple summation methods when possible to stratify rates of DVT and/or pulmonary embolus for a given prophylaxis protocol, screening method, and type of spinal surgery. A total of 25 articles were eligible for full review. The risk of DVT ranged from 0.3 % to 31 %, varying between patient populations and methods of surveillance. Pooling data from the 25 studies, the overall rate of DVT was 2.1 %. The rate of DVT was influenced by prophylaxis method: no prophylaxis, 2.7 %; compression stockings (CS), 2.7 %; pneumatic sequential compression device (PSCD), 4.6 %; PSCD and CS, 1.3 %; chemical anti-coagulants, 0.6 %; and inferior vena cava filters with/without another method of prophylaxis, 22 %. The rate of DVT was also influenced by the method of diagnosis, ranging from 1 % to 12.3 %. The authors concluded that as risk of DVT after routine elective spinal surgery is fairly low, it seems reasonable to use CS with PSCD as a primary method of prophylaxis. There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of chemical anti-coagulants in routine elective spinal surgery. Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that screening patients undergoing elective spinal surgery with ultrasound or venogram is routinely warranted.
Tsui and Suresh (2010) presented a comprehensive review of the evidence pertaining to techniques described and outcomes evaluated for ultrasound imaging in pediatric neuraxial anesthesia. Neuraxial anesthesia pertains to local anesthetics placed around the nerves of the central nervous system, such as spinal anesthesia also called subarachnoid anesthesia and epidural anesthesia. These researchers described and illustrated the anatomy related to each block to serve as a foundation for better understanding the block techniques described. For neuraxial blockade, ultrasound may fairly reliably predict the depth to loss of resistance and can enable a dynamic view of the needle and catheter after entry into the spinal canal. Particularly, in young infants, direct visualization of the needle and catheter tip may be possible, whereas in older children surrogate markers including the displacement of dura mater by the injection of fluid may be necessary for confirming needle and catheter placement. The authors stated that more outcome-based, prospective, randomized, controlled trials are needed to prove the benefits of ultrasound when compared with conventional methods.
Perlas (2010) summarized the existing evidence behind the role of ultrasonography in neuraxial anesthesia techniques. A literature search of the MEDLINE, PubMed, ACP Journal Club databases, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was performed using the term ultrasonography combined with each of the following: spinal, intrathecal, epidural, and lumbar puncture. Only studies related to regional anesthesia or acute pain practice were included. Case reports and letters to the editor were excluded. A total of 17 relevant studies were identified and included in this review. Neuraxial ultrasonography is a recent development in regional anesthesia practice. Most clinical studies to date come from a limited number of centers and have been performed by very few and highly experienced operators. The existing evidence may be classified in 2 main content areas: (i) ultrasound-assisted neuraxial techniques and (ii) real-time ultrasound-guided neuraxial techniques. The author concluded that neuraxial ultrasonography has been recently introduced to regional anesthesia practice. The limited data available to date suggested that it is a useful adjunct to physical examination, allowing for a highly precise identification of regional landmarks and a precise estimation of epidural space depth, thus facilitating epidural catheter insertion. Moreover, they stated that further research is needed to conclusively establish its impact on procedure success and safety profile, especially in the adult non-obstetric population. This is in agreement with Tsui and Pillay (2010) who noted that although there is some evidence to support ultrasound for various outcomes in pediatric regional anesthesia, more randomized controlled studies with sufficient power are needed to further support these findings and to evaluate the potential for ultrasound to reduce complications for regional anesthesia in children.
Javanshir and colleagues (2010) reviewed the literature concerning size measurement of cervical muscles using real-time ultrasound imaging (RUSI) in patients with neck pain and in healthy populations. A literature search from 1996 to December 2009 making use of Science Direct and PubMed databases was conducted. Medical Subject Headings and other terms were as follows: ultrasonography, cervical, muscle, neck, size, pain, validity, reliability, neck pain, and healthy subjects. These researchers included studies using RUSI for assessing cervical paraspinal muscles both in healthy subjects as well as in patients with neck pain. They assessed muscles investigated and the reliability and validity of the method used. The literature search yielded 16 studies -- 12 (75 %) studies assessed the posterior muscles, whereas in the remaining 4 (25 %), the anterior muscles were studied. Three studies quantified the size of the muscles during contraction; 3 assessed the relationship between cross-sectional area, linear dimensions, and anthropometric variables; 1 evaluated the training-induced changes in muscle size; 1 assessed the differences in muscle shape and cross-sectional area of cervical multifidus between patients with chronic neck pain and controls; 8 studies looked at the reliability of using RUSI in patients with neck pain or healthy subjects; and 3 studies evaluated the validity of RUSI compared with magnetic resonance imaging. The authors concluded that this literature review has shown that there are insufficient studies for assessing neck muscles with RUSI. It seems that using constant landmarks, knowledge of anatomy and function of target muscle, and a proper definition of muscle borders can help to take a clear image. Standardized position of the subject, correct placement of the transducer, and using multiple RUSI for statistical analyses may improve results.
The Work Loss Data Institute's clinical practice guideline on "Neck and upper back (acute & chronic)" (2011) listed diagnostic ultrasound as one of the interventions that was considered, but was not recommended.
The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine's practice guideline for the performance of an ultrasound examination of the neonatal spine (2012) states that this guideline has been developed to assist practitioners performing a sonographic examination of the neonatal and infant spine. In some cases, an additional or specialized examination may be necessary. While it is not possible to detect every abnormality, following this guideline will maximize the detection of abnormalities of the infant spine. Sonographic examination of the pediatric spinal canal is accomplished by scanning through the normally incompletely ossified posterior elements. Therefore, it is most successful in the newborn period and in early infancy. In infants older than 6 months, the examination can be very limited, although the level of termination of the cord may be identified. In experienced hands, ultrasound imaging of the infant spine has been shown to be an accurate and cost-effective examination that is comparable to magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating congenital or acquired abnormalities in the neonate and young infant.
The guideline lists the following indications for ultrasound examination of the neonatal spine:
Chin and Perlas (2011) stated that the use of ultrasound in lumbar plexus blockade has been described in the context of both pre-procedural imaging and real-time needle guidance; however, its clinical benefit in this setting has not yet been clearly established. These investigators noted that pre-procedural ultrasound imaging of the spine may reduce the technical difficulty of neuraxial blockade and also improve clinical efficacy. Similar benefits are expected in the setting of lumbar plexus blockade although there is currently no evidence to confirm this. Moreover, they stated that real-time ultrasound-guided neuraxial and lumbar plexus blockade are challenging techniques that need further validation.
The SonixGPS:
Wong and colleagues (2013) stated that the SonixGPS is an electromagnetic needle tracking system for ultrasound-guided needle intervention. Both current and predicted needle tip position are displayed on the ultrasound screen in real-time, facilitating needle-beam alignment and guidance to the target. This case report illustrated the use of the SonixGPS system for successful performance of real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia in a patient with difficult spinal anatomy. A 67-year old male was admitted to the authors' hospital to undergo revision of total right hip arthroplasty. His 4 previous arthroplasties for hip revision were performed under general anesthesia because he had undergone L3 to L5 instrumentation for spinal stenosis. The L4 to L5 interspace was viewed with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position. A 19-G 80-mm proprietary needle (Ultrasonix Medical Corp, Richmond, BC, Canada) was inserted and directed through the para-spinal muscles to the ligamentum flavum in plane to the ultrasound beam. A 120-mm 25-G Whitacre spinal needle was then inserted through the introducer needle in a conventional fashion. Successful dural puncture was achieved on the second attempt, as indicated by a flow of clear cerebrospinal fluid. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and the spinal anesthetic was adequate for the duration of the surgery. The authors concluded that the SonixGPS is a novel technology that can reduce the technical difficulty of real-time ultrasound-guided neuraxial blockade. It may also have applications in other advanced ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques where needle-beam alignment is critical.
Brinkman et al (2013) noted that the SonixGPS is a novel needle tracking system that has recently been approved in Canada for ultrasound-guided needle interventions. It allows optimization of needle-beam alignment by providing a real-time display of current and predicted needle tip position. Currently, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of this technique for performance of real-time spinal anesthesia. This case-series reported performance of the SonixGPS system for real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia in elective patients scheduled for joint arthroplasty. In this single-center case-series study, a total of 20 American Society of Anesthesiologists' class I to II patients scheduled for lower limb joint arthroplasty were recruited to undergo real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia with the SonixGPS after written informed consent. The primary outcome for this clinical cases-series was the success rate of spinal anesthesia, and the main secondary outcome was time required to perform spinal anesthesia. Successful spinal anesthesia for joint arthroplasty was achieved in 18/20 patients, and 17 of these required only a single skin puncture. In 7/20 (35 %) patients, dural puncture was achieved on the first needle pass, and in 11/20 (55 %) patients, dural puncture was achieved with 2 or 3 needle re-directions. Median (range) time taken to perform the block was 8 (5 to 14) mins. The study procedure was aborted in 2 cases because the clinical protocol dictated using a standard approach if spinal anesthesia was unsuccessful after 3 ultrasound-guided insertion attempts. These 2 cases were classified as failures. No complications, including paresthesia, were observed during the procedure. All patients with successful spinal anesthesia found the technique acceptable and were willing to undergo a repeat procedure if deemed necessary. The authors concluded that the findings of this case-series study showed that real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia with the SonixGPS system is possible within an acceptable time frame. It proved effective with a low rate of failure and a low rate of complications. They stated that their clinical experience suggested that a randomized trial is needed to compare the SonixGPS with a standard block technique.
Niazi and colleagues (2014) noted that real-time ultrasound-guided neuraxial blockade remains a largely experimental technique. SonixGPS® is a new needle tracking system that displays needle tip position on the ultrasound screen. In a feasibility study, these researchers investigated if this novel technology might aid performance of real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia. A total of 20 patients with body mass index (BMI) less than 35 kg/m(2) undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia were recruited. Patients with previous back surgery and spinal abnormalities were excluded. Following a pre-procedural ultrasound scan, a 17-G proprietary needle-sensor assembly was inserted in-plane to the transducer in 4 patients and out-of-plane in 16 patients. In both approaches, the trajectory of insertion was adjusted in real-time until the needle tip lay just superficial to the ligamentum flavum-dura mater complex. At this point, a 25-G 120 mm Whitacre spinal needle was inserted through the 17-G SonixGPS® needle. Successful dural puncture was confirmed by backflow of cerebro-spinal fluid from the spinal needle. An overall success rate of 14/20 (70 %) was seen with 2 failures (50 %) and 4 failures (25 %) in the in-plane and out-of-plane groups, respectively. Dural puncture was successful on the first skin puncture in 71 % of patients and in a single needle pass in 57 % of patients. The median total procedure time was 16.4 and 11.1 mins in the in-plane and out-of-plane groups, respectively. The authors concluded that the SonixGPS® system simplified real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia to a large extent, especially the out-of-plane approach. Nevertheless, it remains a complex multi-step procedure that requires time, specialized equipment, and a working knowledge of spinal sonoanatomy.
McVicar et al (2015) stated that ultrasound-guided needle placement is a widely used technical skill that can be challenging to learn. The SonixGPS is a novel ultrasound needle-tracking system that has the potential to improve performance over traditional ultrasound systems. These researchers examined if the use of the SonixGPS ultrasound system improves performance of novice practitioners in ultrasound-guided needle placement compared with conventional ultrasound in the out-of-plane approach on a simulation model. A total of 26 medical students without previous ultrasound experience were randomized into 2 groups. Each group performed 30 simulated ultrasound nerve blocks on a porcine meat tissue simulation (phantom) model. Both groups used the SonixGPS ultrasound; however, the study group had the needle-tracking system activated, whereas the control group did not. The participants were assessed for success rate, technical aspects of block performance, and certain behaviors that could compromise the quality of the block. Learning curves were developed to assess competence. The needle guidance group reached competence more often. This group had fewer attempts and quality-compromising behaviors than did those using conventional ultrasound. The authors concluded that use of the SonixGPS ultrasound needle guidance system improved the performance of technical needling skills of novice trainees in an ex-vivo model. They stated that the place of this technology in the wider education of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia remains to be established.

Easter egg hunters scramble for prizes
April 12, 2012

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (April 12, 2012) -- In the grassy field across from the Youth Center, youngsters lined up like track runners.
Staring down 1,000 plastic, candy-filled eggs scattered in the grass, the children eagerly awaited for their hunt to begin. With a countdown from 3, they were off. And then, in less than five minutes, it was over.
More than 250 children attended the 13th annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday afternoon at the Youth Center. The event was sponsored by the Fort Meade-based Lambda Gamma Gamma Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, whose members hid 4,000 eggs throughout the area surrounding the center.
The service-oriented graduate fraternity has sponsored the event at Fort Meade for more than a decade, with the number of participants continually growing, said Lt. Col. James Walker, committee chairman and commander of the 742nd Military Intelligence Battalion.
Prior to Saturday's egg hunt, a line formed from the Youth Center all the way to Ernie Pyle Street as families entered the contest.
"We love it," Walker said. "This is one of the better parts of being a member of the fraternity -- getting to give back to the community."
Saturday's festivities began with a coloring contest in the gymnasium, with children competing for Easter basket prizes in four age groups: 2 and younger, 3 to 5, 6 to 9, and 10 to 13.
Seven-year-old Jaylen Marbley of Odenton colored his rabbit brown, red and then rainbow.
"It's Easter, kids need to have fun," said Jaylen's father, retired Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Paul Marbley. "This is a good place to be."
After coloring, Jaylen was eager to hunt down the 1,000 eggs he expected to gather. His goal, he declared, was "getting the golden egg."
Before the brief hunt, a single golden egg was hidden for each age group. Whoever captured the egg won a larger prize, such as a bike or radio.
To make the hunt challenging for older participants, eggs were hidden in harder-to-find spots. The youngest group searched on the blacktop behind the Youth Center; the oldest participants scoped out the nearby Child Development Center.
Sierre Bornes from Severn was hoping to leave with a basket full of the candy-filled plastic eggs.
"Getting the candy is my favorite [part]," the 8-year-old said of the event.
Sierre's father, Joe, who works at Fort Meade with the facility management company Chugach, said he was surprised by the large turnout.
"It's good to see a lot of people come out with their children for family time," he said.

The Crosslinx Band is ready to link the community to the cross through rock 'n' roll during a free concert on St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17. The concert will kickoff at 6 p.m. at Smyrna Wesleyan Church and free coffee will be provided for guests' enjoyment as well.
Based in Felton, The Crosslinx Band is a newly formed Christian group who doesn't follow the archetype of a traditional rock band.
Comprised of 32-year-old Garr Owens (lead/rhythm guitar), 25-year-old Ryan Wikso (saxophone and keyboard), and Owens' daughters: 10-year-old Abigail (drums) and 12-year-old Emelyn (bass) – the group's diverse blend of ages offers a family-like vibe in a rock setting.
Crosslinx focuses on delivering original music – mostly penned by Owens – which includes guitar and sax solos, while drawing their primary musical influences from artists like Lincoln Brewster, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban.
"It's a privilege to be able to share my faith," said Owens, who is the Smyrna Police School Resource Officer at Smyrna High School. "Music is a passion for me. I feel like it's my best means of communication."
For Owens, who has been a musician for 18 years, Crosslinx allows him a new and exciting platform to not only worship Christ, but spend time with his girls, too. Though his daughters have only been playing their instruments less than a year, Owens says they took to their tools like naturals.
"They take after their dad," he beamed.

Love the technique. Would love to try out something like this myself but I feel like I would run out of patience. I wouldn't even know where to start.
Great work!
Very nice colors! I like how you've used more rectangular brushstrokes in this one instead of your usual swirls (not that I don't like the swirls).

Hi ladies, I had a question about my DS wanting his birthday party at Chuck e Cheese next month. I am willing to pay the $170.00 for the kids party package, but don't want to spend all the money on food for adults. The fact that it cost (IMO) a lot for the food package and you have to buy multiple ones since they don't come with much in each.
Would it be wrong of me to do the kids party package and let the kids play and then invite everyone over to our house after, for finger foods or ziti or something, especially for the adults?
We have never done one of these parties and I know it's a lot but we have considered it.
Let me know what you think.
