Another great article curtesy of Adventure Medics
So, you're a doctor and you want to go on holiday somewhere exotic? Have you it through before you go? Dr Katie Hawkins, newly married and a recently qualified GP, tells us the tale of her honeymoon trek in remote Nepal. Her story beautifully illustrates some of the problems that can be encountered as an off-duty medic in a remote place. Katie also includes some excellent advice to help you deal with such problems yourself, while giving us the lowdown on the GMC and defence unions' views on Good Samaritan Acts. Despite her honeymoon, Dr Hawkins remains happily married and is now working for the International Porter Protection Group in Nepal. (Photos: Sam Hawkins)
Imagine this: it's your honeymoon, and you've been dreaming of a big trip – to go away together, to be just the two of you. You love mountains, climbing, walking and adventures. Finally you manage to arrange time off work. You've not managed to get time like this since University days, trekking in Nepal. It's a must, and you've earmarked a trek you've heard only a few people do. It will be bliss.
There are a few mutterings from friends:
Have you met the people you're going with?
Don't worry, we've been assured that they're all super fit and anyway, if we get bored of each other at least we've got company.
The day before you leave a kind colleague thrusts some dexamethasone and nifedipine in to your hand and says 'this might be useful'. Also by chance you ordered the book Pocket First Aid and Wilderness Medicine by Jim Duff and Peter Gormly. This arrives on the morning of your departure.
On arrival, there are the standard problems of missing luggage, retained passports and road blocks. However somehow, later that evening and despite the chaos, you find yourself eating veg thali and sipping on a cool beer. Well here we are.
However, it's not just the two of you. You're sitting at the table with your trekking group, all in their 60s. You think:
This can't be right. Well if they're not young then they must be fit
They are really lovely people and are filled with the same enthusiasm for the mountains that you have. For some of them though, it's even more than this – this is their adventure of a lifetime! You decide not to be ageist. They seem lovely and you look on the bright side.
However, a few warning shots are fired. One man pipes up that this is his first trekking trip. It seems he hasn't camped or trekked before. He is also recovering from a broken leg.
Then it emerges that your group also has a woman recently recovered from an episode of vestibular neuronitis, and a man who had a pneumothorax last year. The man with the broken leg is not able to take big steps does not trust it on uneven surfaces. Still you're all a team now and you get along well. You're still enthralled by the sights, sounds and smells around you, so you decide to appreciate being here and try not to let it all worry you.
Funnily enough it's slowly dawning on you that although you're on your romantic holiday, you're still a doctor. Well are you? The inevitable conversation at the start of the trek begins, what do you do back home?' Will you say it? What harm can it do? 'Okay, I'm a doctor'. 'Ah, she's a doctor', someone says to the trek leader… Help.
You come to the first village and due to their excessive loads, many of the porters have blisters. It seems that the trek leader's kit has no tape in it, so you offer them some of your Compede. 'She's a doctor' they all say and soon you have 5-10 people coming up to you for help. 'You should get your local nurse to see to that' you say to the man with a nasty sore. 'There isn't one for miles'. A quick check of the other people, and alarm bells are ringing. Only treat people in an emergency, you think to yourself. Is that right? What should I do? You soon escape the village, having handed over iodine solution and some plasters and realise you need a rethink. 'I am a doctor, but I'm on holiday', you tell the trek leader. Phew that should sort it.
Diarrhoea starts spreading around the porters, another comes to you with really painful athletes' foot. Another porter bashes his head and is sent home (alone?) before you've even set eyes on him. Where does my responsibility lie?
Before you left you had a quick briefing. 'If you get altitude sickness you must go down'. Back in your medical student days you've been to altitude with young, fit classmates. You vaguely remember one chap feeling a bit funny and heading down and not getting to the top, but otherwise everyone seemed okay. How would I recognise altitude illness? How fast should I really be ascending? You've always known it's slow but not really thought about the specifics of how to avoid it and how to diagnose it?
You realise soon enough that the group are looking to you for advice:
Should we take Diamox?
How much water should I drink?
Should my hands be this puffy?
How should I manage my nasty cough at altitude?
One of these seems easier to answer than the rest, or does it? Where's my stethoscope and sats probe? I didn't think I'd need them on holiday.
Somehow you feel you're in a role you were not prepared for. You tell the group that you're interested in mountains but not the expedition doctor. They need to make their own decisions. You will try and help in an emergency but that's it. However, you feel a sense of impending doom.
You arrive at camp at 4800m. It's been a fairly long day and you've now made it to well above the tree line. You can feel the altitude a bit here, but having trekked up and beyond the previous camps each night, you feel you're acclimatising well. So you kick off a game of Frisbee with the porters. Beautiful light caressing the peaks, glowing with florescent colours. No wonder people used to think the mountains were Gods. You feel small and insignificant with these towering above you. And then the light is gone. A cold wind and chill sweeps through the valley. Although the mountains are tempting you up them, this is a stark reminder that 'this is no place for men'.
Back at the tents you realise that one of the group has started to panic. This has been a recurring theme all the way up but you've got them to this stage so you feel you've done quite well. 'He's cold' they say. Luckily you've been reminding yourself how to treat hypothermia by reading the pocket book. Hot drink, bottles in the sleeping bag and huddling in mess tent. He seems better pretty quickly. In the back of your mid you're thinking is this AMS?
There's the call of 'Dinner is ready'. You see a woman emerge from their tent and stumble, trip, wobble. 'This is how I always walk', she says. This is true in part but how do you distinguish pre-existing vestibular neuronitis from cerebral oedema? You revert to your now trusty text. No advice there. You decide that it would be difficult. It's dark and icy. You say:
It's probably best that you go down
I'll just have my dinner thanks and I'll be fine
Can you argue with that? She's certainly walking a bit better after dinner. You're not sure what to advise, and should you be advising anyway? She refuses to descend so you make sure her tentmate will keep an eye on her.
In contrast, the man hardly eats anything at dinner. 'I've had lots during the day.' You advise him to go down as well but he refuses but agrees to share a tent with one of the other guys who will keep an eye on him. By now alarm bells are not just tinkling, they're ringing loudly. You scribble down some notes before going to sleep; I probably ought to keep some sort of record. However, at the same time you plan a possible escape for the two of you.
At 0030, you have the dreaded feeling of needing a pee. This has been quite normal occurrence over the past few nights. You're just having the same argument with yourself about leaving your warm sleeping bag, when you hear a kerfuffle outside.
Five porters are carrying the man in his sleeping bag to the shelter. Oh help. This is an emergency. I've no choice but to get involved now.
He looks a bit puffier, claims he can't stand up, can't see and his headache has returned. What headache? This time it's 1am, you're feeling the altitude yourself. Armed with your first aid kit and trusty book, you check his finger nose point test, he cannot walk and his respiratory rate is 40. This is an emergency. We've got to get him down. You give him a Diamox whilst the trek leader is ordering soup.
The rivers are bigger at this time of night due to the melt run-off in the day. It's also icy (-20°) and the porters have flimsy plimsolls on their feet. The leader says they can't take him down. You try to treat him. You look up the doses for nifedipine and dexamethasone. Soon after you've fumbled with boxes and books and plucked up the courage to give him the treatment, a decision is made to attempt descent.
You're realising now that altitude sickness is unpredictable. Will descent make him better? You hope so, but now, being this involved you decide that you would not forgive yourself if anything was to happen. You're going down too. The porters and leader prepare a basket with poles across the bottom and strap the man, in his sleeping back, into the basket with a belt. Three able porters then take it in turns to carry the basket, using straps across the fronts of their heads, and down you go.
The streams are bigger, throwing out the melting ice, rubble and dust from the mountains down to the camp below. The porters negotiate these, but also the landslides at top speed. By 5am, still dark, you can hear the familiar sound of the tinkling of Yak bells in the camp below. You're all down safely. The man is feeling better and the porters are your new heroes.
Your only way out now is over a 4900m pass or 7 days of undulating trekking to back your starting point. The man assures you that now he's fine and can continue the trek. You are at least certain of one thing: no chance. Fed up with the commotion and feeling sick with the lack of sleep you start strolling back to the previous day's camp. On your way up you meet the chesty woman, still stumbling, coughing and looks as though she's aged 20 years. Again??
So now, two casualties, both insisting they can carry on trekking, and you're pretty sure that they can't. Luckily the trek leader steps in and is very willing to organise a helicopter. Within two hours it arrives and they are both whisked away. Gone. All that's left is the fluttering in the breeze of the makeshift 'H' made out of loo-roll. A small child is dancing delightedly holding a piece aloft.
From here your trek goes up over a pass and into a still colder and higher valley. From this point, although missing the banter from the others, the pace picks up and there's more time to spend together and stand in awe amongst the towers, pillars and giants above you.
Twenty-eight days finishes with smiles; a wonderful, memorable holiday to a magical place, the mountains of the gods. Yet there are still questions playing on your mind, most notably: did I do the right thing?
My honeymoon, as well as plenty of others' tales, raises some of the issues to consider when going on holiday as a doctor. Although advice and guidance may differ depending on which country you travel to, I have attempted to offer some tips below.
Know when you might/need to help in an emergency
The GMC Good medical Practice Guide states that 'In an emergency, wherever it arises, you must offer assistance, taking account of your own safety, your competence, and the availability of other options for care.' Good Medical Practice applies to all doctors, whether they have a licence to practice or registration only.
In other words, you are in it, whether you like it or not.
Make sure you are aware of what your indemnity covers you for prior to departure.
The latest responses from the three leading UK defence unions from email and telephone advice (Feb 2013) are as follows:
MDU / The MDU is primarily a UK indemnifier. We are not set up to handle claims arising from overseas. For this reason we advise our members to seek indemnity in their destination country for work abroad. There are some circumstances where indemnity might be granted for overseas work but this is on a discretionary basis, We are unable to offer this for the USA, Canada, Australia, Zimbabwe, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Israel, Nigeria.
MPS / As a truly Global organisation, MPS provides indemnity and support to healthcare professionals in over 40 countries, We can offer access to indemnity for our UK-based members who undertake medical work abroad, including those who work as an expedition medic. The rate charged for this will vary largely on the location, nature of work to be undertaken, earnings of the doctor and the time period over which the indemnity is to be provided. Existing members will benefit from reduced subscription costs. MPS is unable to indemnify health professionals working in some countries, including the USA or Canada. If the act is a 'good Samaritan act', the MPS will aim to assist no matter where in the world the care is being provided or action is brought.
MDDUS / Doctors are only covered to go on expeditions provided that they are going on a voluntary basis with a UK registered charity. We require written notification from the charity confirming details of the expedition, and we only cover claims raised within the UK jurisdiction. If the doctor is being paid as the expedition medic and /or the doctor is not going with a UK registered charity, the doctor will not be covered. All members do have worldwide cover through MDDUS membership for Good Samaritan acts in emergency situations.
Think carefully about what you take in your first aid kit.
When you make up a first aid kit to go abroad, you must make decisions based on whether you are providing for yourself, for you and the group, or for everyone including porters and locals. If you are also providing for your group and locals, your treatment is no longer a 'Good Samaritan act'. You would need to contact your defence union to make sure that you have the correct indemnity for this.
Jim Duff and Peter Gormly's book provides a handy resource to help in emergencies. Ultimately, what you decide to take is your own personal decision but there are plenty of resources out there. For example, Adventure Medic's own Resources Section.
If you prescribe for others on the trip think carefully about why you are doing this, especially at altitude. The GMC states:
Wherever possible you must avoid prescribing for yourself or anyone with whom you have a close personal relationship'. If you prescribe for yourself or someone close to you, you must make a clear record at the same time or as soon as possible afterwards. The record should include your relationship to the patient (where relevant) and the reason it was necessary for you to prescribe.
Tell your own or the patient's general practitioner (and others treating you or the patient, where relevant) what medicines you have prescribed and any other information necessary for continuing care, unless (in the case of prescribing for somebody close to you) they object.
You must not prescribe or collude in the provision of medicines or treatment with the intention of improperly enhancing an individual's performance in sport. This does not preclude the provision of any care or treatment where your intention is to protect or improve the patient's health.
If you are prescribing a medicine for somebody overseas which is being dispensed overseas, you should check whether you need to be registered with the country in which you are prescribing.
If you do have mountain medicine experience, be wary of stating you are a 'specialist' as you will be judged against your peers.
When going in a group, make sure you do your best to vet your companions carefully. You may be able to meet before-hand, speak over the phone or email. This will at least give you some idea of what you are letting yourself in for. I found this out the hard way, as problems within the group had been denied by the agency but only revealed themselves on our arrival. Some companies have medical vetting procedures and some don't. It would be worth asking your company about this, even if you are only going on holiday somewhere remote.
Be wary of companies that offer that you can act as Expedition Doctor and get a 10% reduction. This may be tempting but make the decision carefully. Check whether they would provide first aid kits/medications and what they would include. Check your indemnity. The extra cost may actually be considerably more than the 10% reduction.
Even if you are not medically qualified, if you employ local porters or guides, you are responsible for their health. They should be treated in the same way as any other member of the group. See the IPPG 'Guidelines on Ethical Trekking' for more on this subject.
The decision as to whether or not to treat local people en route is difficult. Unless the problem is an emergency it is usually best to refer the problem to local health care workers. Treatment may be appropriate if i) the problem is an emergency, ii) you can provide a full course of treatment, iii) you will be around in the area to give the patient adequate follow up.
In the case of chronic illness it may be appropriate to provide a letter for the patient to take to their nearest health care facility.
If a medical problem arises, keep detailed notes of what happened. This is important medico-legally, even if acting as a Good Samaritan. The GMC states 'you must keep clear accurate and legible records, reporting relevant clinical findings, the decisions made, and any other drugs prescribed or other investigations or treatment' and 'make the records at the same time as the event you are recording or as soon as possible afterwards'.
Beware of buying medications abroad. It is common that medication 'is not what it says on the tin'. Also be aware of internet sales as in >59% cases medicines from illegal sites have been found to be counterfeit.
The home office website has some useful advice on where you can take opiates. Make sure you speak to them and also the country of origin prior to travelling, as well as taking all prescriptions with you. It is not advisable to take any opiate through United Arab Emirates countries or Saudi Arabia (5, 6).
Consider the option of not telling anyone you're a doctor. If you really are going on holiday, and fancy a break, there is always the option of not telling anyone you're a doctor, but remember in the event of an emergency, GMC guidance says that you must step in. In such an event, it may then be hard to explain to your companions why a part-time musician/novelist/barmaid has suddenly morphed into a full-time, business-like clinician.

How Companies Can Make Social Responsibility Pay Off
Business practices that emphasize social responsibility are all the rage, but few big companies are actually doing a good job of doing the right thing, says the Economist.
The newsweekly, which admits to being a longtime skeptic of the corporate-social responsibility, or CSR, movement, says in a special report that it is clear most companies can no longer afford to ignore social and environmental matters. Still, businesses often make CSR-related decisions based on instinct rather than on evidence. And the admittedly limited evidence suggests that while CSR isn't ruinous to the bottom line, it is no bonanza, either.
To make CSR more viable, especially during an economic downturn, the authors say executives should focus on the areas most relevant to their businesses — companies are more likely to pursue socially oriented initiatives over the long term if they also offer financial benefits. An emphasis on social responsibility also can help businesses look outward more than they otherwise would, says the newsweekly.
What's more, there are plenty of easy steps that would aid both corporate balance sheets and society at large. Turning off office computers at night and discouraging the use of plastic bags are two measures that tend to be popular and beneficial. More comprehensively, companies that are serious about changing their impact on the planet will need to find a way to accurately measure their carbon footprint. Without those data, it is difficult to make significant changes.
Finally, businesses shouldn't be defensive about whether they are making a contribution to society. "The welfare [companies] create in the form of jobs, products and innovation dwarfs anything firms are likely to do explicitly in the name of CSR," says the Economist, displaying its characteristic faith in market-oriented solutions. "A socially conscious but bankrupt business is no good to anyone." – Wendy Pollack

Khalil Hamra, Associated Press
CAIRO — Weeping relatives in search of loved ones uncovered the faces of the bloodied, unclaimed dead in a Cairo mosque near the smoldering epicenter of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi, as the death toll soared past 600 Thursday from Egypt's deadliest day since the Arab Spring began.
World condemnation widened for the bloody crackdown Wednesday on Morsi's mostly Islamist supporters, including an angry response from President Barack Obama, who canceled joint U.S.-Egyptian military maneuvers.
Violence spread Thursday, with government buildings set afire near the Pyramids, policemen gunned down and scores of Christian churches attacked. As turmoil engulfed the country, the Interior Ministry authorized the use of deadly force against protesters targeting police and state institutions.
The Muslim Brotherhood, trying to regroup after the assault on their encampments and the arrest of many of their leaders, called for a mass rally on Friday in a challenge to the government's declaration of a monthlong nationwide state of emergency and a dusk-to-dawn curfew.
At least 638 people were confirmed killed and nearly 4,000 wounded in the violence sparked when riot police backed by armored vehicles and bulldozers smashed the two sit-ins in Cairo where Morsi's mainly Islamist supporters had been camped out for six weeks calling for his reinstatement. It was the deadliest day by far since the 2011 popular uprising that toppled autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak and plunged the country into more than two years of instability.
The Health Ministry said in a statement that 288 of those killed were in the largest protest camp in Cairo's Nasr City district, while 90 others were slain in a smaller encampment at al-Nahda Square, near Cairo University. Others died in clashes that broke out between Morsi's supporters and security forces elsewhere in the Egyptian capital and other cities.
Mohammed Fathallah, the ministry spokesman, said earlier that the blood-soaked bodies lined up in the El Imam mosque in Nasr City were not included in the official death toll. It was not immediately clear if the new figures included the ones at the mosque.
Inside the mosque-turned-morgue, the names of the dead were scribbled on white sheets covering the bodies, many of them charred, and a list with 265 names was plastered on the wall. Heat made the stench from the corpses almost unbearable as the ice brought in to chill the bodies melted and household fans offered little relief.
Over the mosque speakers, announcements urged people to leave because their body heat was making the humid conditions worse inside the mosque, where posters of Morsi were piled up in a corner.
Many people complained that authorities were preventing them from obtaining permits to bury their dead, although the Muslim Brotherhood announced that several funerals had been held Thursday for victims who had been identified. Fathallah denied that permits were being withheld.
Omar Houzien, a volunteer helping families search for their loved ones, said the bodies were carried to the mosque from a medical center at the protest camp in the final hours of Wednesday's police sweep because of fears that they would be burned.
Elsewhere, a mass funeral was held in Cairo for some of the 43 security troops who authorities said were killed in Wednesday's clashes. Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police, led the mourners. A police band played solemn music as red fire engines bore the coffins draped in white, red and black Egyptian flags in a funeral procession.
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood put the casualty toll at a staggering 2,600 killed and around 10,000 injured, but the figures appeared high in light of footage by regional and local TV networks, as well as The Associated Press.
The deadly crackdown drew widespread condemnation from the Muslim world and the West.

The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA) bring awareness to end diseases that silently kill. Yolanda Adams sounds an alarm through song to support the cause. April 2014 the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association held a health fair and Most Powerful Voices Gospel concert at the House of Hope to spread much needed information to put an end to heart disease and stroke.
Most people, if asked, will not be able to tell you the signs to look for if a person is having a stroke. Under the American Stroke Association's guidance and help from Dr. Terry Mason, of the Cook County Public Health Department, he presented the signs to watch for in case someone is displaying characteristics of a possible stroke with acronyms F.A.S.T. In a very direct and precise way the acronyms F.A.S.T. gives you the areas to watch such as the face and arms. Also, F.A.S.T. tells you to listen to the person's speech. If the speech is slurred and or it accompanies some of the other signs aforementioned then it's time to dial 911. Regular check ups and screenings will help prevent strokes and heart disease.
Among the artists joining Yolanda Adams to bring awareness were Jonathan McReynolds, comedian Ron Baker, Jr. and Chicago Mass Choir under the direction of Percy Gray. These artists definitely uplifted hearts through song and laughter. Chicago's own Sonya Blakey, Program Director and Radio Personality at WGRB Inspiration 1390AM, masterfully engaged the audience as "Mistress of Ceremonies".
Bringing the point home, one of the video testimonies shown of a young lady who went through various changes to be placed on the heart donors list. Even after receiving a new heart, she almost died because her body had went into stage four of rejecting the donated organ. Her tenacity for life and the love from her husband and children, she regained strength, however some time later she passed. Early detection is key to preventing fatality so please visit the American Heart Association's and American Stroke Association's websites to find out where you can be screened. Spread the word to family and friends.

Spam Filtering
Spam filtering is handled in the web mail interface at webmail.millenicom.com. The spam folder is located there as well. If the default settings are not working well enough, you have several spam fighting options:
To increase the severity of my spam filter settings: Go to webmail.millenicom.com and logon using your email address and email password. Click on Settings in your webmail, and go into Anti-Spam settings. Check the box that reads "If mail appears to be [option box] that it is spam" forward to spam folder. Use "Very Unlikely" for the forward-to-spam option.
Use your webmail before you download your email onto your computer and right click any email you do not wish to receive and select "Mark as spam". Not only does that remove the offending email, it also places the sender in your blacklist (professional spammers automatically change their address, so it is possible to see specific emails reoccur).
To blacklist spam
In the webmail interface if you have spam in your inbox, just right click it and choose "mark as spam". You can also select the check box next to the spam and in the "perform this action" drop down menu, select "mark as spam". You can also just click on the spam and drag it to the spam folder. This will mark the mail as spam, black-list it, and train the Bayesian spam filters.
Using Mail Rules
You can set up mail rules to address spam and filter mail by content as well as many other choices.
For the highest level of spam fighting
You can set the anti-spam settings to validate all messages. When this is engaged and you are sent an email by someone who is not in your white-list, it sends a challenge message that the sender must reply to. If they respond, it will white-list and deliver the message. Next time they send you an email, it will go through as usual, so the challenge message only needs a reply once. This stops all of the automated spam from reaching your inbox.

Disease Proof
Omega-3's May Save Your Eyesight
Go eat some walnuts! Because a new study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology claims diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids may slow the development of age-related macular degeneration. An analysis of nearly 3,000 people, randomly assigned to take three different vitamin supplements or a placebo, revealed no matter the supplement, participants with higher intake of omega-3's were at lower risk for the progression of advanced macular degeneration; Reuters reports.
Flaxseeds are another powerful source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3's are amazing! They've been linked to improved insulin tolerance, protection against prostate cancer and prevention of repeat strokes. Oh, and citrus fruits also help stave off age-related macular degeneration.
And last year, a report showed antioxidant carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, found in leafy green vegetables—such as collard greens, spinach and kale—promote eye health too.

I have noticed that my eyesight has imporoved since taking 6 grams of Omega3 on a daily basis. I can't attach the change t0o anything else. I started the capsules nabout 3 weeks ago.

College Hockey:Balch goal in overtime lifts Yale to upset win over Colorado College
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Yale completed a memorable road trip through Colorado, following up a 2-1 overtime win on Friday over No. 2 Denver with a 6-5 victory in the extra frame at Colorado College on Saturday before an announced crowd of 6,654 fans at Colorado Springs World Arena.
Yale senior Josh Balch scored his first goal of the year, firing a hard shot that went between CC senior goalie Joe Howe's leg pads with 1:39 remaining in overtime to end it.
"They have been good for us haven't they?" Yale coach Kevin Allain said. "Coming back in the third period and winning in overtime is a real testament to our fitness level and the work of our strength and conditioning coach."
No. 14 Colorado College led unranked Yale, 5-4, entering the third period after Tigers freshman Jared Hanson banged home his first goal as a Tiger with 6:23 left in the second. Hanson knocked the puck in before Yale goalie Jeff Malcolm controlled the rebound with his glove, the referees ruled after a video review. The assists went to forwards Jeff Collett and Scott Wamsganz, who picked up his first point this season.
"We have to close out games at home," said Tigers coach Scott Owens. "We got a good goal by Jared for a lead going into the third period and couldn't finish."
CC took its first lead since Nov. 10 (a 6-3 home win over Bemidji State) when Scott Winkler's power-play slap shot forced its way in between Malcolm's leg pads to make it 4-3. That lead lasted only 45 seconds before Yale's Trent Ruffolo scored with 9:07 left.
"The key is when they got ahead, we didn't quit," Allain said.
The fireworks started early, especially with CC giving up 48 shots on goal, a night after allowing a season-high 49 in a 4-4 tie against No. 3 New Hampshire. Howe took the loss despite making 42 saves. Yale backup Nick Maricic made nine saves in relief of Malcolm, who was pulled after Hanson's goal.
"He made a couple huge saves," Allain said. "We wouldn't have won it without him."
The biggest came with 18.3 seconds left in regulation when CC captain William Rapuzzi collected a loose puck behind the net and passed in front for a one-timer by Archie Skalbeck. The low shot went off Maricic's right leg pad and bounced wide of the net.
Yale and Colorado College scored a combined three goals in 39 seconds to knot the nonconference game at two with 14:48 left in the opening period.
Yale took a 1-0 lead only 57 seconds into the contest when Antoine Laganiere skated across the face of the Tigers' net to beat Howe.
CC answered when a hard shot by senior Rylan Schwartz went off the Yale right post and then bounced back in off the senior forward's left hip with 15:27 left. The ECAC-member Bulldogs attacked quickly off the resulting faceoff, banging in the second rebound to make it 2-1 only 13 seconds later.
The Tigers tied it up 26 ticks later when defenseman Eamonn McDermott's shot went off the boards and in off the back of Yale goalie Jeff Malcolm's right skate as he slid over the cover the post with 14:48 left.
Yale took a 3-2 lead when defenseman Tommy Fallen popped free in front after Kenny Agostino, Friday's hero against No. 2 Denver, fell down along the boards with the puck under him. He righted himself and sent a pass out front to Fallen, who was unmarked while the Tigers looked for the puck.

It's wines like this one that make me begrudgingly admit that some of my friends have a pretty valid point. You see, I hang out with a bunch of folks who have completely sworn off of California white wines, especially Chardonnay, in favor of French whites -- in particular the Chardonnay based White Burgundies and Sauvignon Blanc based wines from the Loire. They clamor (at any given opportunity) that there are hundreds of wines that can be purchased for around twenty bucks that are infinitely better than most $20 California Chardonnays. Better tasting, better food pairing, and just all around better made. And you know what? They're right.
Now, I'm not going to go so far as to say that I dislike California Chardonnays (there are some I adore), but on the whole French white wine is a lot more pleasant, especially in the "everyday drinking" price points of $8-$25. Most Chardonnay for sale at $7.99 a bottle (or for that matter, $20 a bottle) in Safeway is slathered in oak flavor and the buttery taste of poorly managed malolactic fermentation. Comparable French wines (like this one) are entirely another story -- clean, crisp, fruity, excellently balanced -- everything you want in a good glass of white wine.
William Fevre is a name that is practically synonymous with Chablis. At one point the owner of the most Grand Cru classified vineyards in the Chablis appellation, Fevre was also a tireless advocate for Chablis for decades, struggling against relaxation of the rules and borders of the appellation, and campaigning against the wanton use of the Chablis name by other wines around the world, especially those sold in boxes in the USA.
Fevre worked for years producing a large number of wines from Chablis under his estate name Domaine de la Maladiere, but in 1998 he sold the estate to Henriot Champagne, a distributor who runs several negociant (distribution/winemaking) outfits in Burgundy as well, most notably Bouchard Pere et Fils, which is responsible for the current Fevre winemaking.
This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay, which is fermented in a combination of steel and old French oak barrels, including malolactic fermentation, and it is then aged in older French oak barrels (at most 10% new) for between 10 and 15 months before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is a pale greenish gold in the glass and has a cool rainy-day nose of wet limestone, bosc pears, and green wood aromas. On the palate it is silky and bright with flavors of pears and lemon zest buoyed up by a nice acidity. The wine has an excellent finish which incorporates elements of lemon as well as a slight kick of white pepper.
Food Pairing:
This wine will pair nicely with creamy or buttery foods, especially those incorporating seafood. I had mine with a nice creamy autumn spelt soup, and it was glorious.
How Much?: $18

It seems like every major city has a dozens food and wine festivals every year. San Francisco, compared to many urban centers, tends to be more selective in what it puts on, however. And that's a good thing, because I've certainly been to enough food and wine events with crappy food and lousy wine (and too little of either).
Honestly, the first time I attended FallFest in San Francisco, that was what I expected. But I was pleasantly surprised, and have continued to be impressed each time the event has been put on. The organizers (San Francisco Magazine, among others) have consistently produced an event with excellent food, fantastic wine, great logistics, and an excellent atmosphere.
You can see my coverage of 2005's event to get an idea of what I'm talking about. The short story is that if you enjoy food and wine, and have an afternoon to kill on Saturday, October 6th, FallFest is a nice way to spend a few hours, and certainly worth the $80 in my opinion, especially if you arrive early and hungry.
The event includes the typical wine and food fair setup -- lots of booths handing out free wine and free food, along with cooking demonstrations, and for some extra money, a wine seminar. Some of the folks cooking at the event include The Ritz Carlton, Bocadillos, Della Fattoria, Bistro Jeanty, and Rubicon. Those pouring will include JC Cellars, Grgich Hills, Medlock Ames, Saddleback Cellars, Iron Horse, and more.
And like all good events of this type, the proceeds benefit charity. In this case, Meals on Wheels San Francisco.
San Francisco FallFest 2007
Saturday October 06, 2007
12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Justin Herman Plaza, Embarcadero Center
Market Street @ The Embarcadero
San Francisco, CA
Tickets cost $80 for the Main Event; $150 for VIP access (early admission plus a wine seminar); they can be ordered online at the event web site. The event will likely sell out, as it is limited to 1400 attendees.
Some advice for those attending: when it's sunny it gets quite hot in the plaza. Bring sunscreen and a hat and drink lots of water. Or, of course, it could be foggy and cold as hell. But that has actually never happened at this event, so if we all cross our collective fingers....
Embarcadero Center can be easily reached by all Bay Area public transportation options, including Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Muni bus, underground Muni, ferry, cable car or the F-Line streetcar. For those who want to drive, underground garages are located in One, Two, Three, and Four Embarcadero Center.

The Art of Entertaining
Not a cookery book in the conventional way, more of a record of the teaching sessions undertaken in my cookery club. The recipes are based on the teaching aspect, techniques and presentation taught. Simple ways are explained, which amateurs may not be aware of and useful hints given, that can be easily followed in the home enviroment.
This book tries to eliminate the fears of using unusual ingredients and broaden the outlook of what can be achieved in the everyday kitchen to impress even more, when you invite friends for a dinner party in your home.

When ready to cook, heat your grill to medium hot. Place salmon on grill and cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, slather with glaze; flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes. Serve sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.

Its summertime and the kids are running free; there can be no better time than that to getaway. Yet in a recent Harris Interactive survey it was found that Americans left an average of 9.2 vacation days unused in 2012, while in most European countries they enjoy at least 20 days of time off.
We have all heard of the importance of getting enough rest and down time in order to restore our bodies. Many experts have reported that vacations can help in keeping our hearts, mind and bodies feeling more rejuvenated and recharged. While giving ourselves a break is important in staying healthy time spent with family is equally as health enhancing. Sadly because of our overscheduled lives we miss out on that all important bonding time with our loved ones. Seemingly taking a break is also the sure cure for that too or so says an international group of researchers who found that family holidays promote family bonding, communication and solidarity.
So get on a plane, hop on a bus or in your car and spend time with your loved ones this summer.
Now Tannersville, PA may not seem like the happening place to get away but planned right you can have a great time, eat well and get some exercise all the while bonding with your kids.
First up is finding a place to lay your head. The Chateau Resort offers good amenities and is pet friendly. The standard room that sleeps four starts at $129 in the summertime and the suites are $204 per night. It also has an indoor and outdoor pool, a gym and onsite restaurant.
Then let your adventures begin at the Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark where you can get your family set up in a private cabana and enjoy poolside service as you dash back and forth between the water rides. There are rides for those who want to be thrilled, rides for the kids, and for those of us who just want to relax and enjoy the sun, and there is the lazy river. Once you have gotten all dried off then head on over to CBK Mountain Adventures, where you can experience a 1000' Zip Line, Pennsylvania's only Mountain Coaster or if you are really feeling adventurous there is the North America's longest Twin Zip-Flyers which moves at 60mph, plus lots more. There are season passes that start at $99 plus complimentary tickets that are offered on special dates. Coming in the Spring, 2015 the new 453-suite Camelback Lodge & Indoor Waterpark will open its doors so that the adventures won't be limited to summertime. Just imagine outdoor skiing then going down an indoor waterslide all in the same day, so even if it's 25 degrees outside you will still be enjoying 84 degrees inside. Best part one family can get a free night stay for up to four at Camelback Lodge & Indoor Waterpark in the Pocono Mountains in 2015! Follow me on twitter for details @cheryls_grant, #WanderlustWednesdays.
After all that fun and adventure it is time to relax and eat. This is when you can enjoy a truly spectacular show at Desaki Japanese Restaurant. First thing that you will notice upon arrival is its fully functional rickshaw where kids can be treated to a ride. The food is fantastic and the staff will keep you smiling throughout the course of your hibachi style meal. It's the perfect topping to an adventure filled day in Tannersville Pennsylvania.
Don't forget your sunblock!

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey is feeling better after undergoing surgery to remove her non-cancerous uterine fibroids.
"I'm feeling so much better!" Bailey told Bravo. "[The surgery was the] best thing I ever did! My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner."
Cynthia, a former model who now runs a modeling agency, experienced weight gain, chronic fatigue and a loss of sex drive due to her fibroids.
Bailey said she didn't understand why she felt so bad and was gaining weight until a doctor's visit last summer revealed she had fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
Surprisingly, as many as three out of four women develop uterine fibroids at some point, but are unaware because they have no symptoms. Symptoms of uterine fibroids include heavy bleeding, back pain, exhaustion, and diminished sex drive. If left unchecked, it can result in infertility.
Cynthia's "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Kandi Burruss, revealed on a recent episode that she got fibroid-removal surgery several years ago.
Bailey chronicled her doctor's visits, surgery and its disastrous impact on her marriage on the current season of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
"It ended up being amazing," said Cynthia. "I thought, 'No one wants to hear my talking about my period.' That's not sexy or glamorous. But I've had women and men — because they have to deal with their wives' struggles — commend me for talking about it."
Bailey gradually shed the excess weight she had gained by having prepared meals delivered to her home and working out three days a week. She said the health scare was a wake-up call to take better care of herself.
"I'm in my 40s and I'm definitely taking my health more seriously because you have to," she said. "You can't work and build empires and be on TV if you're not well. You have to be healthy. I'm not in a point life where I can take it for granted."
Bailey's RHOA co-star, NeNe Leakes, recently revealed on the Dr. Oz Show that she was hospitalized for blood clots in her lungs. NeNe has since recovered and is doing well.
On a separate note, Cynthia has apologized on behalf of her their "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast for the huge fight that erupted on the Jan. 26 episode. During the brawl, Apollo Nida (Phaedra Parks' husband) attacked Kenya Moore's friend, Brandon DeShazer, who reportedly suffered a broken rib.
"I want to apologize on behalf of the whole cast," said Bailey. "It was really hard to watch this fight. I've been on the show for four years. Never in the history of the whole show has anyone on the show laid hands on each othe

On Monday, the Supreme Court released two opinions which could have a huge impact on those of us who specialize in employment and employee benefits law.
In Lewis v. City of Chicago, the Court addressed the following question: When an employer adopts an employment practice that discriminates against African Americans in violation of Title VII's disparate impact provision, must a plaintiff file an EEOC charge within 300 days after the announcement of the practice, or may a plaintiff file a charge within 300 days after the employer's use of the discriminatory practice? In Lewis, eight African-Americans in Chicago, representing a class of more than 5,000 African-American applicants who passed a 1995 entry-level test for firefighters, but were never selected, contend that a flawed employment test becomes an act of discrimination not when the results are announced, but when actual hiring decisions are made based on test results. In 2005, a federal judge in Chicago ruled that the city had discriminated against African-American candidates and ordered the city to hire 132 randomly selected African-American applicants who scored above the minimum level on the test. In 2008, the 7th Circuit dismissed the suit because Title VII requires that an EEOC charge be filed within 300 days "after the alleged unlawful employment practice occurred," §2000e–5(e)(1), and the workers had missed that deadline. On May 24, 2010, a unanimous Supreme Court reversed and remanded in a decision by Justice Scalia. "It may be true that the city's January 1996 decision to adopt the cutoff score (and to create a list of the applicants above it) gave rise to a freestanding disparate-impact claim," Scalia wrote. "But it does not follow that no new violations occurred – and no new claims could arise – when the city implemented that decision down the road. If petitioners could prove that the City 'used' the 'practice' that 'causes a disparate impact,' they could prevail." The complete opinion is available at: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-974.pdf
In another unanimous decision, the Court held that prevailing party status is not necessary for an award of attorney's fees under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) §502(g). An employee covered by ERISA filed suit against an insurer based on the wrongful denial of a claim for long-term disability benefits. The trial court requested that the insurer reconsider its denial and the insurer ultimately awarded the benefits. The trial court then awarded the employee almost $40,000 in attorney's fees. The 4th Circuit reversed, holding that § 502(g)(1) provides a district court discretion to award attorney fees only to a prevailing party, and Hardt was not a prevailing party because her only request for relief was the award of benefits, which the district court did not award. On May 24, 2010, the Supreme Court reversed and remanded the lower court n a unanimous opinion by Justice Thomas. "The words 'prevailing party' do not appear in this provision," Thomas reasoned. "Nor does anything else in [the law's] text purport to limit the availability of attorney's fees to a 'prevailing party.'" Instead, a court may award fees and costs to the claimant as long as she has achieved "some degree of success on the merits." The opinion for Hardt v. Reliance Standard Insurance Co can be found at: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/09-448.pdf

The Texas hospital where a brain-dead pregnant woman has been hospitalized, was finally removed off life support, according to Fox News reports on Jan. 26. Marlise Munoz has been removed of all life sustaining equipment after a Texas judge gave the John Peter Smith Hospital until 5 p.m. CST on Monday to comply with his order.
Medical records were provided at trial that showed the unborn baby was not viable due to oxygen deprivation along with evidence showing visible deformed lower extremities.
Husband, Erick Munoz said he and his wife – both are paramedics – made it clear that they did not want life support in this type of situation; the hospital disregarded the family's wishes since diagnosis was made of her condition.
The family of the 33-year-old pregnant woman pursued embattled hospital officials who denied them of their wishes; the hospital explained, it was due to keep in compliance with a Texas law concerning the protection and welfare of a live fetus via means of life support to the mother.
Mrs. Marlise Munoz was only 14 weeks along when her husband found her laying unconscious at home.

Most of these photographs were taken in Gisborne, New Zealand at the Okitu end of Wainui Beach, with the exception of a couple taken at Makorori, just over the hill.
Taking photographs is one thing, but writing captions that don't seem contrived is something else again. So I thought I'd dip into the old newspapers available through that fantastic resource Papers Past and see what I could find there....As it happened, I even found the title.

Nokia Asha 501 launching around the world starting this week
Nokia announced that its latest Asha handset, the small Asha 501, would start shipping this week in some Asian markets (in both single, and dual SIM versions). Specifically, customers in Thailand and Pakistan should be able to buy the phone in the next few days, with India to get it shortly after that.
Next week, the new Asha will be released in other Asian markets, as well as in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It will also go on sale in Latin America, but only in "late summer."
Costing only $99.99 before taxes and subsidies, the Nokia Asha 501 is one of the cheapest touchscreen phones introduced this year. It comes with a new Asha Touch interface that includes two main screens (Home and Fastlane). That aside, you've got a 3 inch QVGA display, no 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 3.0, FM radio, Nokia XpressBrowser, 3.2MP rear camera, 1,200 mAh battery, and a 4GB memory card in the box. Customers will also find a Nokia Stereo Headset WH-208 in the box, plus an interchangeable back cover.
The handset will be available in six color versions: black, white, cyan, bright red, bright green, and yellow.
Nokia said that it sold more than 20 million Asha Touch handsets around the world until now.

Yes, Guild Wars 2 fans, we know that ArenaNet can't put the game out quickly enough. Believe us, we know. Thankfully, some new information uncovered through a bit of detective work on behalf of Gamebreaker's Jason Winter indicates that we may not have to wait too much longer.
Financial reports issued by Korean Development Bank's securities firm, which is one of the largest brokerage firms in Korea, have included a number of documents involving the much-hyped title, in which predictions are made for a Guild Wars 2 release date in Q3/Q4 2012 (likely before Thanksgiving) and an "imminent" release date announcement. Keep in mind that this isn't just some random guy on the internet; these predictions come from people who report on these things for one of the largest brokerage firms in Korea, which means a lot of money (and probably some jobs) are on the line. To get the full details straight from Winter himself, go check out the full video on Gamebreaker, but take it all with a grain of salt. As ArenaNet is fond of reminding us, nothing is official until Anet says it is, and the game will be out when it's ready.

This isn't going to help my twitching problem.
Damn, I clicked again...
All I have to say, is people will do anything to get their brands name out there. People like Gamebreaker are always fishing for stuff like this so they can be first. Plus, I agreed with the pre-thanksgiving launch idea before this, so I'm not any more excited.
Yeah, I don't feel like there's actually any news from this. We already knew it'd be before the end of the year, and Thanksgiving is pretty close to that, so I figured it'd be before then anyway. And "imminent" may as well be "soon" (i.e., meaningless) in MMO-speak. :P
-On Hiatus-
Is it bad that my GW2 anonymous sponsor called me ater reading this announcement?
As much as I enjoy the chance to play, just hoping they don't overdo it with the BWE's. Too much of a good thing, and all ...
Is there such a thing as too much GW2?
Hopefully the announcement will be a closer to end of summer than end of year.

The U.S. Navy awarded a $1.2 billion contract to Sikorsky Aircraft on May 7 to develop a transport helicopter for future American presidents.
The new aircraft will be based on Sikorsky's existing S-92 medium-lift helicopter. Sikorsky's selection was expected, as it was the only company to submit a bid for the program.
Under the contract, Sikorsky will provide six test aircraft, four of which will ultimately become "operational assets," the Navy said. The contract includes production options that are expected to result in a total operational fleet of 21 helicopters by 2023.
The aircraft will have a 6-foot-high, 20-foot-long and 6.5-foot-wide cabin. It will be built at Sikorsky facilities in Coatesville, Pa., and Stratford, Conn., and in a Lockheed Martin plant in Owego, N.Y.
The aircraft, also known as VXX, will replace the aging VH-3D and VH-60N Marine One presidential helicopters, which are operated by a Marine Corps unit.
A predecessor VXX program, also known as VH-71, was derailed several years ago by cost overruns, schedule delays and performance problems. The Navy insists it will avoid repeating those troubles by holding development in the new program to a minimum and by discouraging changes to major components.
"We are committed to a cost-effective acquisition strategy and prudent use of existing technology," said Capt. Dean Peters, who leads the Navy's presidential helicopter program office. "Sikorsky's proposal adequately supports this commitment and together we will efficiently deliver the next presidential helicopter fleet in an affordable and timely manner."

Learn about surgical treatment options for ulcerative colitis.
The goal of treatment for ulcerative colitis is to help children achieve and maintain a normal quality of life.
In general, most patients are managed with medications; however, some patients with more severe disease may require surgery to treat their ulcerative colitis.
Surgery for UC includes removal of the diseased colon and rectum, and is typically done in stages.
The decision to have surgery is a team decision that involves the patient and parents, the patient's primary gastroenterologist, and the surgeon. Although removal of the entire colon in UC is considered to be a cure for the disease, the risks and benefits should be thoroughly reviewed.
The first stage includes removal of the colon, and creation of a J-pouch to replace the rectum and a temporary ileostomy so bowel movements can empty into a bag on the skin. In the second and final stage, the ileostomy is removed and the patient can have bowel movements in the regular fashion. Patients who are very ill at the time of surgery may need three stages to complete their surgery.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Henrik Zetterberg scored twice and the Red Wings also got goals from Marian Hossa and Ville Leino as Detroit defeated the San Jose Sharks by a score of 4-1 Wednesday night.
Ty Conklin made 34 saves on 35 shots to earn the win.
Hossa opened the game's scoring on a Detroit power play at 6:51 of the first period. He broke free of a San Jose defender and skated free into the right faceoff circle before snapping a shot that snuck through Evgeni Nabokov's pads and into the net.
Leino's eventual game-winner came with 3:52 left in the opening period as he reached to bat a fluttering puck out of mid-air and into an open net.
Zetterberg scored his first of the game on a highlight-reel play at 4:08 of the middle frame.
With Pavel Datsyuk in the penalty box, Zetterberg blocked a shot in his own end and raced out into the neutral zone where he picked the puck back up. Fighting off a defender, Zetterberg did a spin-o-rama between the faceoff circles and slid the puck around Nabokov.
The superstar Swede added Detroit's final goal with 2:57 left in the game, stuffing the puck between Nabokov's pad and the post from behind the net on a Red Wings five-on-three.
Christian Erhoff scored San Jose's lone goal at 6:25 of the second, beating Conklin with a long shot on a Sharks powerplay.
Notes: Hossa left the game during the second period after taking a hit to the head. The Red Wings said he was kept out for precautionary reasons... Datsyuk's assist on Zetterberg's second goal was his 500th career point... The Sharks had an apparent goal negated by video review in the second period... Just before Zetterberg's first goal, the puck bounced off the protective netting in the Detroit zone but no official noticed.
Wings' power play looked awful until Hossa scored. That was entirely an individual effort, great move on the boards and a lot of luck that it slipped through Nabokov.
"Familiar #32." Uh, Ken, I'd think Wings fans are more familiar with Lemieux wearing the #22 he wore in Denver.
That was a pretty intense first period. The Red Wings were playing pretty tough. Good to see but they'll have to keep it up.
They got some lucky breaks, too. What a goal by Leino!
Both teams look a bit reckless out there. Some excellent bang bang plays by the wings, but it's still choppy. Not that I expected differently.
Very physical. For a little bit there, I was waiting for a ice wide fight. We may still see it. We're in for a nail biter folks!
Wings hold onto the two-goal lead heading into the third. I'm not going to be calm until this game is over. And only then if the Wings can keep this up.
Just watching the clock now. Don't think I've been this nervous for a regular season game in awhile.
How bad was Hossa's injury? ):
I just spent the last 3 hours at Honors Orchestra. Not fun hanging out with a group of stuck-up kids. (Yikes, I just realized how that might sound about me! )
At least Hossa produced some before he got hurt too, am I right?
I liked Datsyuk's innocent act. Tip my hat to Boyle, awesome way to lose someone.
Zetterberg gets a goal!
How bad was Hossa's injury? ):
No word.
ESPN's game recap says he didn't play the third for precautionary reasons...for your team and my pool, I hope they are right.

That's what the Detroit postgame said, too. Of course, he could be out several games for "precautionary" reasons at this point. I guess we'll know more Friday.
