Spotlight Richmond Puts a Spot Light on the Pacific Northwest
A Pacific Northwest Shellfish Primer
When traveling the Pacific Northwest region, it's very likely you will indulge in a few varieties of shellfish. It wouldn't be a trip to the area without at least one crab, oyster, shrimp, or clam meal. Along with salmon, shellfish is probably one of the best reasons to visit this region.
Even though you may enjoy shellfish in other areas of the country, or world, there are always going to be differences worth noting. Let's take a quick tour of the shellfish of the Pacific Northwest to learn a little about these delicious, and natural, resources.
Dungeness Crab
Ask anyone who frequents this region and they will have one piece of advice for you; "First, get yourself some Dungeness crab. Anything else can wait." If you don't sit down to a meal of Dungeness crab, you have not officially been to the Pacific Northwest. This large, sweet, meaty crab is perfect for a leisurely gathering around a big table. Dungeness crab goes through a series of "molts" on its way to adulthood. You'll find plentiful Dungeness crab offshore in coastal waters and surrounding estuaries. In these protected waters, the temperatures are often more mild. This warmer water, teamed with abundant food supplies, can grow some very fine, large Dungeness crab. The Dungeness crab plays several roles in the life-cycle of the waterways up and down the Pacific coast, both as prey and predator. For commercial and recreational use both, the Dungeness crab forms a vibrant part of the area's economic fabric; and a delicious one!
Pacific Oyster
This large, exotic oyster was introduced to the west coast of America from Japan. Because it needs warmer waters to spawn and live, this species depends on stable, protected estuaries to survive. Adult oysters prefer firm, rocky bottoms. They will attach themselves to debris or even other oyster shells. The shells of the Pacific oyster are very rough with large ridges, and can grow to be about 10 inches long. You can still find wild oyster beds in Washington State, but most Pacific oysters you eat in restaurants or 'oyster bars' will be from oyster farms.
Pacific Littleneck Clam
Because the Littleneck clam is also called "steamer and butter clam," you might suspect this is one clam that is good eating; and you'd be right. This clam is very popular, both as a commercial product and for recreation, probably because it is so tasty and easy to harvest. Coastal towns from California to Alaska have relied on this clam at times for economical survival. Pacific Littleneck clams are sold in the shell, and can be found canned or frozen, as well. Juvenile clams can move around using its foot, and prefer deeper waters. Adults, however, travel to shallower waters, where they remain sedentary, almost waiting for us to gather them up to enjoy.
Bay Shrimp
Although Bay shrimp have enjoyed the spotlight on dinner tables for hundreds of years, now this shrimp is cultivated more commonly to use as bait. However, on the recreational front, Bay shrimp is often harvested for eating. They have a thin shell and a solid body, offering plenty of meat and an easy peel. The Bay shrimp is very dominant all along the Pacific coastline, and forms an important part of the food chain, feeding many species of sporting fish. The Bay shrimp flourishes, in part, because of its adaptability. You'll find this shrimp in muddy bays, or sandy bottomed estuaries, or even in deeper off-shore waters.
Part of traveling to other regions is learning about the foods indigenous to the area. If you ate nothing else but these four shellfish species, you would have a proper introduction to the flavors that make the Pacific Northwest special.

There have been a lot of questions about how the fall premiere of The Originals will work, since we've already had a backdoor pilot. Fortunately, Zap2it has some answers for us, as well as some hints about a new character we'll be seeing in the fall.
Chronologically, the new "Originals" premiere will follow the backdoor pilot. That episode — and everything that happened in it — will still exist in the show's universe. The purpose of the new premiere is instead to move the story forward and to introduce the characters and concepts to new viewers who may not have watched "The Vampire Diaries" in the past.
Meanwhile, in Mystic Falls, Graduation (EP423) has picked up some nods over at Entertainment Weekly's 2013 Season Finale Awards. The Vampire Diaries comes away with wins in the following categories: Best Non-Romantic Cliff-Hanger, Best Fight (Verbal or Physical), Most Disturbing Image and Most Rewound Moment.

Connie Saltonstall, a former Charlevoix County commissioner and schoolteacher, says "health care is a right everyone should have."
Even if you agree with Saltonstall's dubious claim, it's hard to see how federally funded abortions are a key component of any such health care reform bill.
Saltonstall is challenging Rep. Bart Stupak's Michigan's First Congressional District seat, and doing so exclusively in response to Stupak's opposition to abortion funding included in pending legislation.
Saltonstall, 64, has received the endorsement of such fair-minded groups as the Huffington Post and RH Reality Check, whose Amanda Marcotte (a contributor) is the author of It's a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments. Marcotte wrote at RH Reality Check on Thursday that, "Banning abortion should engender the same reaction as forcing women to wear the hijab, forcing kids to say the rosary in school, or banning non-kosher food from restaurants -- an outrageous violation of religious beliefs."
Well, with such mainstream support, it's easy to understand Saltonstall's optimism in throwing her hat into the ring!
Jodi Jacobson, another RH Reality Check abortion zealot, writes that Stupak "teamed up with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to bully his and their way into holding health reform hostage to their own fundamentalist Catholic agenda by threatening to derail the whole thing unless the 'Stupak Amendment' was passed."
Of course, that's poppycock. But it sure raises the hackles of progressives and other "health care" advocates and serves to misdirect people concerned about the scope and cost of any (seemingly) inevitable health care overhaul.
Stupak's stance certainly isn't new, nor is it somehow his desire to derail health care reform legislation. Stupak (Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations), as Ms. Jacobson and her ilk would know via a simple Google search, supported health care legislation in the House in November. But he, along with about a dozen Democrat colleagues, contends that a $1 trillion Senate version would authorize federal abortion subsidies.
Those congressmen oppose such funding, as do millions of other Americans. In addition, Stupak says progress is being made toward compromise language as the bill moves forward, and he expects to continue talks with House leaders to craft wording that would impose no new limits on abortion rights but also would not allow use of federal money for the procedure.
"I'm more optimistic than I was a week ago," Stupak told the Associated Press on Monday in Tawas City. "The president says he doesn't want to expand or restrict current law (on abortion). Neither do I. That's never been our position. So is there some language that we can agree on that hits both points -- we don't restrict, we don't expand abortion rights? I think we can get there."
Stupak authored an amendment to the House-endorsed health care bill that prohibits federal subsidies from being used to buy health care plans that offer abortion coverage. Current law -- known as the Hyde amendment -- prohibits federal funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
Stupak's critics insist the language in his amendment goes beyond current law, claiming the wording would discourage private insurers from offering plans that provide abortion services for people participating in the proposed health exchanges.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, in a Tuesday story in The Detroit News, said that Stupak asked to meet with him in an effort to craft language that will satisfy all sides in the abortion debate.
"It has to be resolved," Hoyer said of the fight over abortion language in a final health care bill. "I think it will be resolved one way or the other, and I think the bill will pass. ... It's got to be resolved."
That's a far cry from the apocalyptic scenario painted by abortion advocates. It also makes Saltonstall appear shrill when she says, "I decided to run because people were asking for a candidate because they were mad about the health care issue. It's his willingness to not have health care pass over his abortion position that has people like me upset."
Actually, Ms. Saltonstall, people are upset about the health care issue for all sorts of reasons -- but very few are clamoring for federal funding of abortions as a cornerstone of "universal" care. It's a feminist chimera constructed to lend unwarranted credit to yet another peripheral health care "right."
One needn't oppose tummy tucks to resist federal funding of elective plastic surgery. And one mustn't be anti-abortion to oppose taxpayer funding of abortions. Saltonstall's characterization of Stupak's position as "reprehensible" is, in itself, dishonest and smacks of petty, puerile politics.

July is the traditional month for moving in Québec. And this year, along with thousands of others relocating to new abodes, French ice dance coach Romain Haguenauer also unpacked his bags in his new digs in La Belle Province.
Haguenauer, a former ice dance competitor turned coach and choreographer, who had worked alongside Muriel Boucher-Zazoui in Lyon, France, for many years, recently relocated to Montréal to work alongside his former students Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon.
The move came about "because of a combination of things," Haguenauer explained. "I've been coaching for about 17 years and I've always worked in the same place; I felt like I needed renewal. With Muriel we'd been having some discussions about our ways of seeing things and the direction we wanted to go in…It was nothing personal at all, but we were in disagreement about a couple of things.
"I had talked to Marie-France and Patrice about it, and they said, 'If you ever want to leave Lyon, we have a place for you with us.' They knew me and thought I could bring a lot to their teams in terms of technique and choreography," Haguenauer said. " I have a lot of respect for them — and they needed another coach. The decision took me about four or five days. It happened fast like that.
"In Europe we tend to put a lot of emphasis on power skating in dance, while the North American technique is a bit lighter. Neither one of them is bad of course, but combining them will give you an interesting result. It's a nice mix."
Two of Haguenauer's ice dance teams, France's Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron and Spain's second-ranked team, Celia Robledo and Luis Fenero, also made the move to Canada. Another French ice dancer, Romain Le Gac who formerly competed with Estelle Elizabeth, has also joined his group. Le Gac will be teamed up with Québec skater Marie-Jade Lauriault to represent France.
"The original plan was not to take my skaters, but these two couples decided to follow me," Haguenauer said. "All four skaters had already uprooted to skate in Lyon. They arrived a few days after me. Romain Le Gac joined us just recently. They just moved and found apartments and I know they feel good. There's a good working atmosphere here."
Haguenauer has reunited with Spain's ice dance champions Sara Hurtado and Adrià Díaz who have trained with Dubreuil and Lauzon in Montreal since 2011.
He was instrumental in the formation of both Spanish teams. "The Spanish federation wanted to build an ice dancing program and they called me," Haguenauer explained.
Hurtado and Díaz were paired at a dance clinic organized by the Spanish federation in 2008 and Robledo, a former singles skater and Fenero joined forces in 2011. Fenero competed at the national level with two other partners before he was matched with Robledo. "The kids got themselves together and found their technique," Haguenauer said.
Neither he nor the skaters have to worry about any language barriers. "I work with both of the Spanish teams in French," the Lyon native said. "I understand Spanish and I speak it a little, but all four of the Spaniards speak very good French."
Haguenauer said his hopes for Papadakis and Cizeron and Hurtado and Díaz are especially high for the upcoming season. "Gabriella and Guillaume are trying to get onto the World and Olympic podium within four years, so starting this season they need to place in the top five or six in Europe and the top eight or so in the world. They must compete with the Russians and get close to the podium," Haguenauer said of the team that ranked second at the 2013 World Junior Championships and 13th in their senior Worlds debut last season.
"They have a very modern style. They know how to use their whole bodies on the ice, are very flexible and have a real dancing quality. We need to exploit that."
Hurtado and Díaz, the first ice dance team to represent Spain at an ISU competition, have risen quickly through the ranks. They turned heads last season by placing 10th at the European Championships and 13th at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
"Sara and Adrià are not your typical dance team," Haguenauer said. "They come from a country without an ice dance program, but they are really original and have a lot of ideas. Technically they've made a lot of progress. They have a certain little something that makes them stand out, and we need to make them even better. They can become really world-class."
Haguenauer also plans to work with two young Québec teams, Carolane Soucisse and Simon Tanguay and Elisabeth Paradis and François-Xavier Ouellette, both of which trained with Dubreuil and Lauzon this past season.
At the 2014 Canadian Championships, Soucisse and Tanguay placed fifth in juniors and Paradis and Ouellette eighth in seniors. Haguenauer would like to see them rise higher.
"Marie-France, Patrice and I like to propose distinctive programs with music that hasn't really been used. We like to bring out something new in the skaters," he said. "Since we're based in Montréal, we want to help the Canadian federation produce good couples."

Oh hello there. Allow me to press pause on this DVD of Paul Daniels' greatest tricks, and progress onto something far, far more magical.
Yes, it's FA Cup third round day. Y'know, when football shakes off its modern, capitalist overcoat and parties like it's 1925. If that whole year was sponsored by Budweiser.
Stay tuned for all the thrills and spills from round the country.
Right, some team news. Now I know this is the day on which all the Davids of the game test their strength against the collective Goliath that is the Premier League, but time is short and I'm making an executive call to prioritise.
- Aston Villa (vs Sheffield United): Steer, Lowton, Clark, Baker, Luna, Westwood, Bacuna, Weimann, Delph, Albrighton, Benteke
- Everton (vs QPR): Robles, Coleman, Oviedo, Stones, Alcaraz, McCarthy, Barry, Naismith, Barkley, Osman, Jelavic
- Hull (vs Middlesbrough): Harper, Rosenior, Faye, McShane, Figueroa, Boyd, Meyler, Quinn, Gedo, Fryatt, Mclean
- Newcastle (vs Cardiff): Elliot, Santon, S Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara, Tiote, Anita; Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Gouffran, Cisse
- Cardiff: Marshall, McNaughton, Hudson, Turner, John, Whittingham, Kim, Gunnarsson, Cowie, Odemwingie, Cornelius
All over in the first game of the day. File under Magic of the Cup or something.
FULL TIME: Blackburn 1-1 City. All square at Ewood so we'll have a replay at the Etihad. #roversvcity #mcfc pic.twitter.com/94dY6xQZDX— Manchester City FC (@MCFC) January 4, 2014
And some more Premier League teams. If you support a non-top-flight team and were hoping for team news, I can tell you we're running another live blog in an alternate universe in which SEO doesn't exist. It's idyllic, I'm told.
- Norwich (vs Fulham): Bunn, Whittaker, Martin, R Bennett, Olsson, Fox, Snodgrass, Garrido, Elmander, Josh Murphy, Van Wolfswinkel
- Fulham: Stockdale, Zverotic, Burn, Hughes, Amorebieta, David, Boateng, Kacaniklic, Dempsey, Kasami, Bent
- Southampton (vs Burnley): K Davis, Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw, Cork, Schneiderlin, S Davis, Ward-Prowse, Ramirez, Lambert
- West Brom (vs Crystal Palace): Foster, Lugano, McAuley, Dawson, Popov, Morrison, Yacob, Gera, Berahino, Vydra, Long
- Palace: Speroni, Parr, Delaney, Gabbidon, Mariappa, Dikgacoi, Boateng, Jonny Williams, Bolasie, Bannan, Gayle
Everton vs QPR has been delayed by ten minutes. I'm not sure why, but I imagine it's magic-related. What better way to celebrate the glorious history of this competition than by kicking off later than expected? Fantastic tribute.
Five minutes until the other games start. Time to tune into Sky Sports News for another two hours with the weekly companions I never wanted.
Neil McLeman is at St Mary's today:
Above any cup shocks, the best story today will be if any Southampton players get sent off for foul and abusive language today.
Referee Robert Madley takes charge of the Saints' game against Championship form side Burnley. Nicola Cortese's club are continuing their protest against Mark Clattenburg, who takes charge of the North London derby this evening.
The easily offended Adam Lallana is on the bench. It is raining cats and dogs at a barely half-full St Mary's - oh, the magic of the cup!
And Darren Lewis is in Narnia or something:
So much for the magic of the cup here at Norwich. The Canaries, struggling in the Premier League, have made eight changes to their line-up while Fulham show eight changes from the side that beat West Ham on New Years' Day. Most significantly for Arsenal conspiracy theorists, Dimitar Berbatov was not in the matchday squad.
Fulham rock up here at Carrow Road for the second time in two weeks after meeting Norwich in the Premier League on Boxing Day. Rene Meulensteen's men were 2-1 winners on that day but Chris Hughton, who has won the FA Cup twice with Spurs, will be seeking revenge this afternon.
Somewhat surprisingly, these two clubs haven't met in this competition for 106 years. They also have bigger fish to fry, with both clubs struggling in the Premier League.
Norwich will be looking to improve on last season's display in the FA Cup, when they were knocked out by non-league Luton in the fourth round. Fulham will be blooding fan favourite Clint Dempsey in this one.
Disappointing lack of #magic to the reasoning behind the Everton delay. Could they not have at least made something up? Unicorns stampeding or something, I don't know...
Today's kick-off is delayed 10 minutes due to crowd congestion in surrounding streets. #EFCQPR— Everton (@Everton) January 4, 2014
James Nursey downs his wand to give us this:
Hi from Villa Park, where Paul Lambert has named a strong side despite his admission he views the FA Cup as a distraction from Premier League survival. He is by no means the first ever manager to admit he is prioritising the top-flight.
But the furore over his remarks means a home win is essential to head off further criticism. Christian Benteke starts for Villa and I wouldn't be surprised if he scores now he is finally injury free. The big Belgian returned to his native country over Christmas for treatment and Lambert told the press he looked back to his "old self" at Sunderland.
The Blades have a really loud away following here and will look for an upset under new boss Nigel Clough to pile more pressure and embarrassment on Lambert.
And here is king sorcerer David Anderson on this most magical of all days:
Nikica Jelavic has been given the perfect opportunity to convince Harry Redknapp that he is worth signing. The QPR boss is interested in Jelavic and had the chance to assess him up close, with the Croatian striker making his first start for Everton since September.
Roberto Martinez is prepared to let Jelavic go to play more football ahead of the World Cup if he can get a replacement in this month.
12 months ago, Martinez was starting out on a journey which led to FA Cup glory with Wigan, with a third-round tie at home to Bournemouth. Few present at the DW that day as the Latics struggled to draw would have imagined they would go on to lift the trophy.
Evertonians will be hoping Martinez can work his magic again, although his priority will be trying to claim a Champions League spot.
GOAL: Middlesbrough 0-1 Hull (McLean)
Good start for Hull City in the big north-east grudge match, Aaron McLean netting the opener at the Riverside. Bragging rights are being divvied out already. In other derby(ish) news, Bolton lead Blackpool.
GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Leicester (Jones)
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Kenwyne Jones normally goes on a three-game run of good form at this time of the year, and he puts Stoke ahead against Leicester. It's a header. Obviously.
GOAL: Aston Villa 0-1 Sheffield United (Murphy)
Someone locate the soundtrack from Disney's Fantasia; magic is occurring in Birmingham. Sheffield United take the lead against Aston Villa, Jamie Murphy's shot deflecting past Jed Steer.
GOAL: West Brom 0-1 Crystal Palace (Gayle)
Crystal Palace probably have the most #magical name in sport, so it's fitting that they get their noses in front at the Hawthorns today. Dwight Gayle is the scorer, firing smartly past Ben Foster.
Someone find an editor for this man. And someone to take him for long countryside walks when there are football matches taking place.
Just leaving Ewood Park. Full credit to Blackburn but you'd have to think that there best chance of progressing has now gone.— michael owen (@themichaelowen) January 4, 2014
GOAL: Southampton 1-0 Burnley (Clyne)
This is a very good football goal. Nathaniel Clyne kicks the round football with his foot, sending the football flying through the air and into the goal. He turns around and smiles with his mouth, which probably indicates that he is happy. Pre-industrial-revolution joy all round.
James Nursey pulls this treat out of his hat. Not a rabbit, sadly, but an update on the Aston Villa game:
Oh dear, Paul Lambert... this could be awkward. League One Sheffield United are leading at Villa Park courtesy of Jamie Murphy's deflected shot in the 20th minute. He cut in from the left and saw his shot loop up past Jed Steer.
The large away contingent are currently singing: "Premier League, you're having a laugh" and "sacked in the morning". They are also mocking the number of empty seats at Villa Park
Lambert created a rod for his own back when he admitted he views the cup as something of a distraction. The home fans are restless.
GOAL: Southampton 2-0 Burnley (Lambert)
Not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, Rickie Lambert's late ascent to star status is just about as #magical as football gets, so this goal should be celebrated. On the other, Burnley are the underdogs and FA Cup law clearly states that they must be allowed to win here. Flip a coin at home.
Let's take a few seconds to commemorate the true mythical nature of this day, shall we?
That stuff falling from the sky isn't rain. It's FA Cup fairy dust. All the #magic here http://t.co/BMpJI1pAS5 pic.twitter.com/jN5LJWxONr— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) January 4, 2014
Darren Lewis is having fun today:
Your correspondent is in no position to talk, but a few of these players here look as though they have had a good Christmas. Some of them are quite leaden-footed. Others a bit ponderous. As a result the quality of the game is questionable.
In fact, the best moment of this first half so far was the chant from the travelling Fulham fans of "We've got three managers". It refers, of course to the recruitment of Alan Curbishley as technical director and Ray Wilkins as assistant head coach to Rene Meulensteen.
Both Curbishley and Wilkins are known to want some management action in their own right. Too many cooks? We'll see.

Writer, producer and former The Walking Dead showrunner, Glen Mazzara, speaks Oct. 24th at the Mount's "Distinguished Voices in Writing" series
Mount St. Mary's College Doheny campus, in the middle of Downtown Los Angeles, is an urban oasis. Among its continuous cultural offerings at this jewel-like campus is the current ongoing speakers series – "Distinguished Voices in Writing" presented to the public by Mount St. Mary's Master of Arts in Humanities program.
Talented voices from some of the most popular shows on television and film will speak at MSMC this school year during these "Distinguished Voices in Writing" forums. Glen Mazzara, former showrunner of the vastly popular AMC series, "The Walking Dead, will speak on October 24th. Upcoming speakers include MSMC's own Emmy Award-winning novelist and filmmaker Marcos McPeek-Villatoro (Nov. 7), and Maria Jacquetmetton, writer-producers of AMC's "Mad Men" (Jan. 16).
The series comes with its own hook, too: Each writer will analyze a live episode, film or story they have written. This is followed with an audience question-and-answer session.
"We feel incredibly fortunate to have such talented writers kicking off our new monthly series," says Dr. Katherine Boutry, the Humanities faculty member who created and hosts the series." Dr. Boutry continued, "This was designed to bring great voices in creative writing to as inspiration to our students and alums. Also, it gives us a chance to give back to the community by offering a forum for creative discussions." Dr. Boutry is a writer herself, with television credits that include shows such as "Missing" and "Haunting Hour."
Dan O'Shannon, Executive Producer and head writer of the hit series, "Modern Family" was the first speaker in the series. He provided a charming evening, which included the history of his start at the age of seven when he decided he wanted to make people laugh. He left college after his freshman year to go into show business and learn the business by going on the road as a stand up comedian. By the time he was in his mid-20s, he had segued into being a writer for the "Tonight Show". Since then it's been one success after another including "Cheers" and "Fraser".
The upcoming calendar features:
- October 24: Glen Mazzara ("The Walking Dead," "The Shield" and "Hawthorne")
- November 7: Marcos McPeek-Villatoro (Poet, novelist and two-time Emmy-winning filmmaker; "Tamale Road." McPeek-Villatoro also holds the Fletcher Jones Endowed Chair of Writing at Mount St. Mary's and is the College's director of Journalism and New Media)
- January 16: Andre and Maria Jacquetmetton (A married, Emmy Award-winning writer-producer duo; "Mad Men")
Each talk begins at 7 p.m. RSVPs are required to attend. Send your RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. General admission is $10, to be paid by cash or check at the door; $5 for WGA members; free to Mount St. Mary's College students, faculty and staff. Campus parking is free for this event.
The series is presented to the public by Mount St. Mary's Master of Arts in Humanities program, and will take place on the College's Doheny Campus. For questions, or to RSVP, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The New Year came in with wintry gusto. Our area, like much of the Northeast, got hammered with snow and frigid temperatures. It was a week to stay indoors, stoke up the fire, and tie flies, to be sure!
Fishing is pretty much at a standstill until the cold clamp on the area breaks. Ponds and small lakes are frozen over and even the cold and warmwater rivers are icing up. Most tribs, including the Salmon River, have a lot of sluch ice along with shelf and anchor ice making fishing very difficult if not impossible. While the Salmon River did report some action for steelhead and browns earlier in the week, fishing has generally ground to a halt for now.
While fishing is in the winter doldrums, there are fortunately a number of fly fishing activities going on in the area. Here's a list to improve spirits:
- The Fly Fishing Show will be in our area in January. This is a HUGE fly fishing show with hundreds of exhibitors of gear, tackle, trips as well as many demonstrations on every aspect of fly fishing one could think of. The event will be held in Marlborough, MA at the Royal Plaza on Friday 1/17 through Sunday 1/19 and at Somerset, NJ, at the Garden State Convention Center on Friday, 1/24 through Sunday 1/26. There will be more details to follow in future posts.

Mike Babcock completes Red Wings coaching staff, adds Jim Hiller and Andrew Brewer as assistants
DETROIT - Mike Babcock has finished filling holes in his coaching staff.
The Red Wings head coach added Jim Hiller and Andrew Brewer as assistant coaches on Wednesday.
Last year's assistants, Tom Renney and Bill Peters, left to run Hockey Canada and coach the Carolina Hurricanes, respectively. Tony Granato has already been hired to fill one of the spots.
Hiller will fill Renney's spot behind the bench, and Brewer will run the video department.
Hiller was the head coach of the Western Hockey League's Tri-City Americans from 2009-14. He was named the WHL and CHL Coach of the Year for the 2011-12 season. He played in 21 games for the Red Wings in the 1992-93 season.
Brewer ran Hockey Canada's video coach for three years, including the 2014 Winter Olympics. He worked with Babcock when the team won the gold medal this February.

WESTFIELD TWP. — The state commission tasked with overseeing Cloverleaf Schools' finances, on Thursday approved placing a 6.9-mill levy on the November ballot.
The emergency levy will bring in about $3.3 million each year for 10 years.
The school board approved the levy Monday, and a second formal resolution also must be approved by the board and the commission in July. The deadline to submit the ballot language to the Medina County Board of Elections is Aug. 8, 90 days before the November election.
Paul Marshall, chairman of the state Financial Planning and Supervision Commission, said if the levy fails in November, the district likely will have to look at cutting more staff.
In light of a failure, the district already plans to cut high school busing, close buildings before 4 p.m., and convert to an every-other-day kindergarten model.
Marshall said Cloverleaf already has made more than $5 million in cuts.
"That's a substantial amount of money," he said. "You can only cut so much and still maintain an adequate educational facility."
The state auditor's office placed Cloverleaf in fiscal emergency in January because it could not cover its deficit with existing funds. Fiscal emergency allows the district to borrow money from a state fiscal solvency fund.
The district's projected deficit is $1.2 million for fiscal year 2013, which takes into account savings from its recovery plan.
Also Thursday, the school board met and chose Michelle McNeely to handle treasurer duties for up to 60 days. McNeely is treasurer for the Medina County Educational Service Center.
Cloverleaf Superintendent Daryl Kubilus said the designation was for legal purposes while the district continues to search for a treasurer to replace Mary Workman, who is taking a job as treasurer for the Wayne County Schools Career Center in Smithville.
Workman is leaving Cloverleaf on July 6.

During his March 31, 2014 radio broadcast, Glenn Beck accused President Obama of lying about what was really discussed during the recent meeting he held with Pope Francis.
Beck offers absolutely nothing to explain why he came to this conclusion. He apparently just assumes that, because Obama isn't waving a Bible around and screaming at gay people like the American Taliban, that must mean he is a socialist, ergo the discussion must have been about socialism.
Which, to Beck's credit, he admits would make sense since the foundational principle at the heart of socialism - give to those in need - is a Judeo-Christian principle.
Though in typical Beck fashion, he proceeds into a rant against Communism and how it always ends with millions of people getting murdered, a claim which, in turn, tied into another patented Glenn Beck conspiracy theory that the Obama administration is "trying to kill all Christian thought," because Christianity is the only thing that prevents a socialist government from murdering its citizens by the tens of thousands.
"They're trying to kill the one thing," said Beck, "that stops people from saying 'let's kill those people and take their stuff, let's just keep killing people until it does work,' this administration is trying to kill that."
You know, as opposed to the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition and Nazi Germany, which were all so wholesome and family-friendly.
There's that pesky reality thing getting in the way again.

Do I Need To File Government Taxes If My Business Earned No Income?
There are plenty of people who own businesses which make no income on a regular basis. The truth is that these businesses still need to file government taxes. People need all of the profits and losses associated with their business if they want to end up paying the right amount of taxes. You have to keep in mind that the government loves to keep track of your income, this is even true when you happen to end up taking a bunch of losses as a businessperson. A businessperson need to report their income to the government, that is the bottom line.
Negative Income
There are some people out there who end up with a negative net income when they get done filing their taxes. Many of these people who end up negative incomes or no income actually own businesses. This is because it costs money to run a business. The people who own a business realize the very high expenses that it takes to run a business. All of these expenses associated with your business need to be reported. You need to make sure that your income numbers are accurate when you file your government taxes,
government Taxes
government taxes in general can be very complicated. You need to make sure that a business you are involved with reports their income and overall assets, even when they do not make that much overall income. You need to be able to understand the importance of having good accountants for your business when you happen to file your government taxes. A good accountant will even help those businesses who do not have a strong amount of overall income. You have to be able to enjoy a successful business and not to be nervous about your government taxes.

I have been granted S corporation status. To date I have earned no income. Do I still need to file the quarter federal tax forms? I have filed the VA state forms and paid taxes on the computer equipment and office furniture. I need some guidance on the quarterly Federal tax forms and whether these need to be filed since I earned no income.
Hi in 2012 I worked with my truck for 4 momth I pay my fiul taxes them I stop working becouse was loss no profit I want to file my personal taxes with my wife and the corporation can I file all togather or one by one and what form I must use thank you

You haven't said which shell you are running. That helps. You are asking to sequentially use software that was created to run things in parallel. The short answer for many people is that you can't but there are some ideas that you could experiment with.
The first, and not guaranteed sequential, is to submit the work to the batch queue using the batch command. It's very simple.
Another way is to write a script that will allow you to send commands to it the way that batch does.
I suppose you could write a script that runs in the background and will only allow one background job other than itself to complete at a time.
Of all this your best bet is the batch command that is what it was created for. I can tailor my answer so much better if I know more about what the scenario is. For instance, do you need to inspect the result of the previous command before running the next command in the sequence? Why aren't you typing all the commands into a file and running the file?

"Symptom management in patients with lung cancer: diagnosis and management of lung cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Kvale PA, Selecky PA, Prakash UB, American College of Chest Physicians. Palliative care in lung cancer: ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (2nd edition). Chest. 2007 Sep;132(3 Suppl):368S-403S.
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse: This guideline references a drug(s) for which important revised regulatory and/or warning information has been released.
Lung cancer
Patients with lung cancer who develop symptoms related to the disease process or the treatment they are receiving
Note: The following were considered but not recommended for pain control: ketamine, lidocaine 5% plasters, cannabinoids, and transdermal fentanyl (as first-line use).
To consistently format the searches, the panel used the population, intervention, comparator, outcome (PICO) format. The list of questions generated previous to each search can be seen in Table S1 in the supporting data (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field).
The writing team searched Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, and review of references. Searches extended back more than 10 years in all reviews. Upon completion of the searches, the panel first performed a title review of those materials. This was followed by an abstract review, and then articles were selected for full text review by one of the article authors. MeSH terms and key words were searched with no limiters of language or article type, as the panel suspected many of the data were observational. Data were then abstracted and the text and recommendations written.
Not stated
Assessment of Study Quality
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were assessed using Documentation and Appraisal Review Tool (DART) (R. L. Diekemper; B. K. Ireland, MD; and L. R. Merz, PhD, MPH, DART, unpublished data, 2012), which was developed as an improved alternative to the existing tools for use in a clinical setting. However, this tool has been adopted for use in American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines and consensus statements since 2011.
Quality was assessed for each study as well as for the body of relevant evidence. Based on the population, intervention, comparator, and outcome (PICO) questions and volume of available literature, multiple study designs were included in the systematic reviews of the literature. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) primarily indicate benefits, but whenever observational studies met inclusion criteria they were often helpful in identifying harms. Observational studies were also examined when RCTs were not available to answer a particular PICO question. Allowing for multiple study designs resulted in the need for multiple quality assessment tools. Tools were chosen for assessing RCTs, observational studies, and diagnostic studies. The quality assessment tool for RCTs (R. L. Diekemper, B. K. Ireland, and L. R. Merz, unpublished data, 2012) was used for assessing the quality of RCTs, and a tool developed by the committee of the ninth edition of the Antithrombotics Guidelines was used for assessing the quality of observational studies. Diagnostic studies were assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS).
If a recently published good-quality meta-analysis was available, then it was used to inform the recommendations. When a good-quality meta-analysis was not available, guideline authors were encouraged to perform their own meta-analyses. Meta-analyses were performed when the data were fairly homogeneous. If a study was deemed poor quality, then it was not included in the pooled analysis. Heterogeneity of the pooled results was assessed using a χ2 test and Higgins I2, and a forest plot was examined for consistency of the results. The random effects model was chosen a priori as the appropriate model for pooling the data because it accounts for heterogeneity among the included studies. Results from the meta-analyses are available in the supplementary materials that can be downloaded from the Journal website under the corresponding article in the table of contents.
Panel Composition and Responsibilities
A call for applications to serve on the 3rd edition of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Lung Cancer Guidelines (LC III) panel was put forth to the ACCP membership, to past panelists, and to other organizations that have previously endorsed earlier editions of these guidelines or appointed representatives to serve on those panels. Guiding the team was the LC III Executive Committee, composed of a Panel Chair, Vice Chair, Liaison to the Guidelines Oversight Committee (GOC), and two staff members, one serving as an adviser and the other as the lead methodologist. The GOC appointed the Liaison and the Chair, who was required to be free of conflicts of interest (COI). This Executive Committee provided general oversight and guidance; multiple reviews of research questions, article outlines, manuscripts, evidence tables, and other supporting documents; and facilitation of the final conference discussions and voting. As the scope was defined, content experts in each major area were identified to serve as topic editors and nominated by the Panel Chair to be advanced to the GOC for the requisite qualifications and COI review and approval process. These topic editors organized their research and writing teams, oversaw the work of the individual members, edited separate contributions into synthesized manuscripts, presented evidence at the final conference, and managed any of their committee members who were approved with management stipulations relevant to their COIs.
Each topic editor was initially charged with proposing individuals to support their topic committees with expertise in the content area and/or methodology. With the Chair's approval, these individuals were nominated for GOC reviews for COI and expertise. In some cases, GOC staff helped to locate additional methodologic support when it was determined to be necessary for various article committees. This resulted in an international panel of >100 multidisciplinary experts across 24 articles representing the fields of pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine, thoracic surgery, medical and radiation oncology, pathology, integrative medicine, primary care, health-care research, guidelines methodology, and epidemiology. Nineteen international organizations that are also dedicated to advancing research and practice in the area of lung cancer were invited to appoint representatives to this guideline project as adjunct participants. These individuals, unless already approved panelists, were not considered full voting members of the panel, since they had not been through the same ACCP COI review, but were included at the final conference, participated fully in the discussions, and provided external review and feedback on the manuscripts and supporting documentation.
Formulating the Recommendations
In most cases the topic editors, along with the other completely non-conflicted members of the article committee, formulated the recommendations. The summarized evidence tables and profiles (where profiles existed) provided the foundation for the recommendations. In formulating the recommendations, panelists considered not only the body of evidence but also the balance between the benefits and harms and considerations of other factors, such as cost or resource availability considerations and patient values and preferences, which might vary widely for some recommendations. These additional considerations are described in a Remarks section, which appears just below the relevant recommendation in the publication, each time the recommendation appears.
Grading the Recommendations
Recommendations that are strong must be differentiated from those that are weak or weaker. Thus, the ACCP Grading System was used (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Recommendations" field), and the wording of the recommendations is explicit. This grading system has been used since 2005 and is based on two dimensions: the balance of benefits to harms and the quality of the evidence base. If the benefits clearly outweigh the harms or the harms clearly outweigh the benefits, the strength of the recommendation is considered strong and graded as a 1. In most cases, when there is strong confidence that the benefits outweigh the harms, most patients would choose the intervention endorsed in that recommendation. However, when the tradeoffs between desirable and undesirable consequences are not as clear, variability in patient preferences and values often becomes germane to the decision-making conversation.
Weak recommendations are those for which the benefits and harms are more equally balanced, and thus a clear choice is not as obvious; these are graded with a 2. Strong recommendations are phrased, "the panel recommends," whereas weak recommendations are phrased "the panel suggests." Accompanying these indications of the strength of a recommendation is a letter score (A, B, or C) representing the grading of the body of relevant literature.
In grading the quality of the evidence, RCTs start with a high score but might be downgraded to moderate or even low based on the following criteria: limitations in the study design or conduct of the trial, imprecision, indirectness relative to the specifics of the PICO question, inconsistency in the results, and risk of reporting bias. Observational studies, on the other hand, start off as low-level evidence but can be upgraded to moderate or even high if exceptionally large and consistent treatment effects increase confidence in the findings, especially if there is a strong dose-response gradient.
The final grades are combinations reflecting the strength of the recommendation and the quality of the evidence. Strong recommendations with high quality evidence, grade of 1A, are less common than in past editions of these guidelines, since the evidence is assessed with greater rigor for most topics, and few studies without important limitations are available.
However, recommendations that do attain this score are those for which the panel could state with confidence that new studies would be unlikely to change the direction of the effect. These recommendations apply to most patients in most circumstances. But as the grades decline, patient values and preferences likely would play an increasingly greater role in determining the best treatments or interventions for each patient.
The Final Conference
As the evidence reviews were completed and the tables and profiles prepared, the manuscripts and recommendations were drafted. Members of the article committees convened by phone or e-mail to discuss the evidence and work on drafting and grading the recommendations. These discussions generally resulted in agreement on both the quality of the evidence and strength of the recommendations.
The manuscripts and supporting tables were then reviewed by members of the Executive Committee and, after several iterations, the revised versions were shared among all panelists and the representatives of invited organizations in advance of the conference. The other panelists and representatives were asked not only to provide feedback but also to review the recommendations to identify any controversies. A recommendation was deemed to be controversial if at least one person disagreed with the wording or the grading, if there was controversy in practice, if there were wide variations in practice, or if at least one person asked that it be discussed among the broader panel and association representatives. These identified controversies composed the main agenda for the conference.
See the "Methodology for Development of Guidelines for Lung Cancer" (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field) for more information.
Strength of the Recommendations Grading System
In a subsequent analysis of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 97-14 trial, a Markov model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 30 Gy in 10 fractions compared with 8 Gy in one fraction. The expected mean cost and quality-adjusted survival in months for patients receiving 8 Gy in one fraction and 30 Gy in 10 fractions was $998 and 7.2 months and $2,316 and 9.5 months, respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $6,973/quality-adjusted life year.
Internal and External Peer Review
Once Executive Committee approval was received, the articles were submitted to American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) staff for several layers of review. All reviewers were required to undergo a full conflict of interest (COI) appraisal before being approved. In the first round of reviews, the Thoracic Oncology NetWork reviewed the content of the manuscripts and the members of the Guidelines Oversight Committee (GOC) assessed the manuscripts for adherence to the methodology and conformance with the evidence. The ACCP President also appointed members of the Board of Regents to evaluate the guidelines in depth. All comments were collated into spreadsheets to ensure that they were appropriately answered. GOC and board reviewers discussed each comment and determined which should be mandatory for the authors to amend and which were provided as suggestions for improvement. All reviews and comments were anonymous, and authors were required to respond to all mandatory issues either by revising the manuscripts or providing written justification explaining why they did not agree with the reviewers' comments.
The revised manuscripts were submitted for round II review, simultaneously with the Journal peer review. Once the GOC and board reviewers approved the manuscripts, the ACCP President, President Elect, President Elect Designee, and Immediate Past President reviewed the guidelines. Approval was granted pending confirmation from the Board of Regents, before submission to the journal for final review by the Journal Editor. In addition to this extensive review process, which included nearly 30 individual reviewers from the ACCP leadership, external organizations were provided with opportunities to provide feedback before, during, and just after the conference. This final version was submitted for consideration for endorsement to all of the invited organizations, whether or not they sent representatives to the conference. However, once the guidelines were approved by the ACCP Board of Regents, no further changes were accepted. Organizations that provided endorsements are listed in each article.
The grades of recommendation (1A–2C) and the approach to rating the quality of evidence are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Pain Control
In patients with lung cancer who experience chronic pain, it is suggested that thorough assessment of the patient and his or her pain should be performed (Grade 2C).
Remark: A patient-reported pain scale should be the principal tool to assess their pain.
Remark: Visual analog scales (VASs), numerical rating scales (NRSs) and verbal rating scales are also suggested tools for rating pain.
In patients with lung cancer who experience chronic pain, the use of the World Health Organization (WHO) analgesic ladder to plan treatment is suggested (Grade 2C).
In patients with lung cancer who are being treated at all stages of the WHO analgesic ladder, it is recommended that acetaminophen and/or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) be prescribed unless contraindicated (Grade 1A).
In lung cancer patients with chronic pain who are taking NSAIDs and who are at high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding it is recommended that they take either misoprostol 800 mcg/day, standard dose proton pump inhibitors, or double-dose histamine H2 antagonists (Grade 1A).
In patients with chronic neuropathic pain due to cancer, treatment with an anticonvulsant (e.g., pregabalin, gabapentin, or carbamazepine) or a tricyclic antidepressant (e.g., amitriptyline or imipramine) is recommended (Grade 1A).
In patients with chronic pain due to lung cancer, the use of ketamine, lidocaine 5% plasters, and cannabinoids is not recommended (Grade 1A).
In lung cancer patients with mild to moderate chronic pain (score 3-6 on a VAS or NRS), it is recommended that codeine or dihydrocodeine be added to acetaminophen and/or NSAID (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic pain, oral morphine is recommended as first-line treatment (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic pain, oxycodone or hydromorphone are recommended as alternatives when there are significant side effects or lack of efficacy with oral morphine (Grade 1A).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic pain who are able to swallow, transdermal fentanyl is not recommended for first-line use (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with stable, severe, chronic cancer pain who have difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting, or other adverse effect from oral medications, transdermal fentanyl is recommended as an alternative to oral morphine (Grade 1B).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic pain, it is suggested that the prescription of methadone as an alternative to oral morphine be confined to a specialist in palliative care units with experience in methadone prescription, because of difficulties with dose prediction, adjustment, and drug accumulation (Grade 2C).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic cancer pain, treatment with systemic strong opioids is recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: The oral route of administration is recommended on the grounds of convenience and cost.
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic cancer pain treated with systemic strong opioids who cannot swallow or who suffer excessive nausea and vomiting, the parenteral, transcutaneous or transmucosal route of administration is recommended (Grade 1C).
In the management of pain in lung cancer patients unable to take oral opioids, it is suggested that the subcutaneous route to administer continuous infusion of strong opioids, is equally effective as the intravenous route (Grade 2C).
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic cancer pain treated with systemic strong opioids, dose titration using either immediate release or sustained release oral morphine is suggested (Grade 2B).
Remark: The recommended starting dose is oral morphine 30 mg/24 h in patients not previously treated with opioids, and 60 mg/24 h in those already taking an opioid at step 2 of the WHO ladder. Where immediate release oral morphine is used, the four-hourly dose is used to treat episodes of uncontrolled pain and in this context may be used up to hourly. The total dose administered in 24 h is used to calculate ongoing opioid requirements. Where sustained release morphine is used, the total estimated daily dose is prescribed as once-daily or twice-daily oral morphine.
In lung cancer patients with severe chronic cancer pain treated with systemic strong opioids who experience breakthrough pain, parenteral morphine or transmucosal fentanyl citrate are recommended (Grade 1B).
Remark: Oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC), fentanyl buccal tablet (FBT), and transnasal fentanyl spray are all effective formulations for breakthrough pain.
Remark: In patients with severe chronic cancer pain who experience a lack of effective analgesia, or uncontrollable side effects, or both, it is appropriate to switch to an alternative strong opioid, or route of administration, or both, though evidence of benefit from this approach is lacking.
Management of Airway Obstruction
In lung cancer patients with inoperable disease and symptomatic airway obstruction, therapeutic bronchoscopy employing mechanical debridement, brachytherapy, tumor ablation, or airway stent placement is recommended for improvement in dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and overall quality of life (QOL) (Grade 1C).
Palliation of Cough
In all lung cancer patients with troublesome cough, evaluation for other treatable causes of cough, in addition to cancer-related etiologies is recommended (Grade 1C).
In all lung cancer patients with troublesome cough without a treatable cause, it is recommended that opioids be used to suppress the cough (Grade 1B).
In all lung cancer patients with troublesome cough attributed to chemotherapy or radiation-induced pneumonitis, anti-inflammatory therapy with corticosteroids is recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: Macrolides can be considered as steroid-sparing agents.
Palliation of Bone Metastasis
In patients with lung cancer who have pain due to bone metastases, external radiation therapy is recommended for pain relief (Grade 1A).
Remark: A single fraction of 8 Gy is equally effective for immediate relief of pain and more cost-effective than higher fractionated doses of external radiation therapy.
In patients with lung cancer who have painful bone metastases, bisphosphonates are recommended in addition to external beam radiation therapy for pain relief (Grade 1A).
In patients with lung cancer who have painful bone metastases to long and/or weight bearing bones and a solitary well-defined lytic lesion circumferentially involving >50% of the cortex and an expected survival >4 weeks with satisfactory health status, surgical fixation is recommended to minimize the potential for a fracture (Grade 1C).
Remark: Intramedullary nailing is the preferred approach, especially for the femur or the humerus.
Remark: Radiotherapy should follow the orthopedic management 2-4 weeks later.
In patients with lung cancer who have vertebral compression fractures causing pain, vertebral augmentation procedures are recommended to reduce pain (Grade 1A).
Palliation of Brain Metastases
In patients with lung cancer who have symptomatic brain metastases, dexamethasone at 16 mg/day is recommended during the course of definitive therapy with a rapid taper as allowed by neurologic symptoms (Grade 1B).
In lung cancer patients with significant brain edema, neurologic symptoms, or large space occupying brain metastasis (>3 cm), surgical resection is recommended if they are surgical candidates (Grade 1B).
In lung cancer patients with 1 to 3 brain metastases, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone is the recommended initial therapy (Grade 1A).
Remark: With a low burden of disease, the benefit gained by delaying whole brain radiation therapy outweighs the potential risk.
In patients with 5 or more brain metastases, whole brain radiation is the recommended therapy (Grade 1A).
Palliation of Spinal Cord Compression
In patients with lung cancer that have new onset of back pain, sagittal T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the entire spine is recommended (Grade 1C).
In patients with lung cancer and epidural spinal cord metastases, who are not symptomatic, prompt treatment with high-dose dexamethasone and radiotherapy is recommended (Grade 1B).
In lung cancer patients with symptomatic radiographically confirmed epidural spinal cord compression (SCC) and good performance status, it is recommended that neurosurgical consultation be sought and, if appropriate, surgery should be performed immediately and followed by radiation therapy (Grade 1B).
Palliation of Superior Vena Cava (SVC) Obstruction
In patients with SVC obstruction from suspected lung cancer, definitive diagnosis by histologic or cytologic methods is recommended before treatment is started (Grade 1C).
In patients with symptomatic SVC obstruction due to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), chemotherapy is recommended (Grade 1C).
In patients with symptomatic SVC obstruction due to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation therapy and/or stent insertion are recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: When using stenting for the management of SVC obstruction, consideration of necessary anticoagulation as it relates to future management of the patient must be considered.
In patients with SCLC or NSCLC with SVC obstruction who fail to respond to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, vascular stents are recommended (Grade 1C).
Management of Hemoptysis
In all lung cancer patients with large volume hemoptysis, securing the airway with a single-lumen endotracheal tube is recommended. Bronchoscopy is recommended to identify the source of bleeding, followed by endobronchial management options such as argon plasma coagulation, neodymium-doped:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, and electrocautery for visible central airway lesions (Grade 1C).
In all lung cancer patients with non-large volume hemoptysis, bronchoscopy is recommended to identify the source of bleeding. For visible central airway lesions, endobronchial management options are recommended. For distal or parenchymal lesions, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: If these measures are unsuccessful, consideration should be given to bronchial artery embolization to temporize the bleeding. Most reports of bronchial artery embolization are limited by the few cases of lung cancer managed in almost all studies.
Management for Airway-esophageal Fistulas
In patients with tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs), double stenting of the esophagus and airway or esophageal stenting is recommended with self-expanding metallic stents (Grade 1B).
Remark: When primary esophageal stenting is to be used, airway compromise must be considered prior to placing the stent. If a concern exists, an airway stent should be placed prior to esophageal stenting.
Management of Malignant Pleural Effusions (MPEs)
Tunneled Pleural Catheter (TPCs) for Palliation
In patients with a symptomatic recurrent MPE with documented re-expandable lung, TPCs or chemical pleurodesis are recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: In patients with a limited lifespan, serial thoracentesis can be considered.
In patients with a symptomatic recurrent MPE with lung trapping, tunneled catheters are recommended for symptomatic relief and improvement in QOL (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with a suspected MPE in whom the diagnosis of stage IV disease is not confirmed, thoracoscopy is recommended instead of a tunneled catheter due to its diagnostic as well as therapeutic benefit (Grade 1C).
In patients with an MPE, graded talc is the pleural sclerosant that is recommended due to its efficacy and safety profile (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with a malignant effusion, thoracoscopy with talc poudrage is recommended instead of talc slurry through a bedside chest tube for pleurodesis (if there are no contraindications to thoracoscopy) (Grade 1C).
Management of Venous Thromboembolic Disease
See the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary of the American College of Chest Physicians guideline Prevention of VTE in nonsurgical patients: antithrombotic therapy and prevention of thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
Management of Depression, Fatigue, Anorexia, and Insomnia
In patients recently diagnosed with lung cancer it is recommended that comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment be performed soon after the diagnosis is made and at key transition points (completion of treatment, disease progression, and new symptom onset) thereafter for the remainder of life (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients that identify psychologic and physical symptoms causing distress or interfering with their QOL, it is recommended that these symptoms are addressed by appropriately trained individuals (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with depression, anxiety, excessive daytime sedation and fatigue, medications such as antidepressants, anxiolytics and psychostimulants are recommended to decrease the morbidity associated with these symptoms (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with psychologic symptoms, a comprehensive symptom management plan is recommended. This should include non-pharmacologic interventions integrated with medication management, which may be offered as a single treatment modality (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with insomnia, sedating antidepressants (which target both sleep and mood) are recommended over sedative-hypnotics (which only improve sleep) (Grade 1C).
In lung cancer patients with the subjective experience of breathlessness, interventions specifically designed to manage this symptom using psychologic coping and physical adaptation are recommended (Grade 1C).
Remark: Targeted interventions for breathlessness more effectively decrease distress and improve satisfaction with care than usual care provided during medical follow-up office visits.
In lung cancer patients with psychologic distress, it is suggested that one of several psychologic interventions have demonstrated benefit (including psycho-education, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, cognitive behavioral therapy and supportive psychotherapy) (Grade 2C).
Remark: There is limited evidence to support selection of one intervention over another based on characteristics of the target symptom, patient, or disease status.
Remark: The authors suggest that psychologic interventions to relieve distress are chosen based on patient preference, available skill-set of the health care team, and the available evidence from lung cancer studies.
It is suggested that educational programs responsible for preparing health care professionals to care for persons with cancer should include specific training in psychologic and physical symptom management of symptoms that are frequently associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship (Grade 2C).
It is suggested that health care systems providing care to persons with cancer should develop and support integrated programs in psychologic and physical symptom management which are accessible to all (Grade 2C).
A pain management algorithm is available in the original guideline document.
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
Appropriate symptom management in patients with lung cancer
Contraindications to surgical treatment of metastatic disease to long bones include a survival expectancy <4 weeks and a poor general condition that is an obstacle to a safe operation.
Dissemination and Implementation
These guidelines are widely disseminated through the CHEST journal publication, National Guideline Clearinghouse, and Guidelines International Network library. Additional clinical resources will soon be available to users of CHEST Evidence, an upcoming tool for searching the content of America College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines.
As the expanding research into diagnostic techniques and treatment options continues to evolve, the guidelines must be updated and kept current. This edition of the ACCP Lung Cancer Guidelines will be the last to be published as a complete collection, as the ACCP is now embarking on a new living guidelines model (LGM) for revising existing recommendations and developing new recommendations as the literature evolves. This will include a continual assessment of the currency of these recommendations relevant to new research studies as they are published. The review cycle for the ACCP Lung Cancer Guidelines will begin 1 year after publication unless the content experts who monitor the literature bring a recommendation or set of related recommendations to the attention of the Guideline oversight Committee (GOC), suggesting that those recommendations are in need of updating sooner. The new LGM will permit a more nimble approach to guideline development but also requires a point-of-care accessible vehicle, CHEST Evidence, for the users to readily search for the most current version. These features will be described in greater detail in upcoming publications. As a step in this direction, these guidelines will be published primarily online with a printed version of the Executive Summary, containing all of the recommendations, the introduction, and this article on methodology. All narratives for each article with their supporting tables, figures, and algorithms will be available online at journal.publications.chestnet.org .

|Subject: Twin paradox explained
|post id: 3546
|A lot people seem to be confused about the twin paradox. When does time dilation occur? What causes it - relative motion, acceleration, gravity or a combination of these? Here's my attempt to clear up some of the confusion.
The scenario
Observers A and B are twins, on Earth. A stays at home, while B jumps into a spaceship and heads off into space. After travelling at constant speed for a while, B slows down, turns around, and comes back to Earth, again at constant speed for most of the trip. Arriving at Earth, B slows down, lands and greets sibling A.
The result
When B arrives back on Earth, s/he has aged less than A.
The explanation. Part 1: Constant velocity parts of B's motion
While B is travelling away from OR towards Earth at CONSTANT VELOCITY:
A notices nothing unusual about the rate at which his/her time seems to pass. But when s/he looks at B though a telescope, B's clocks seem to be running slowly, and B seems to be aging more slowly than A. This is time dilation, explained by special relativity.
B notices nothing unusual about the rate at which his/her time seems to pass. But when s/he looks at A through a telescope, A's clocks seem to be running slowly, and A seems to be aging more slowly than B. This is also time dilation.
Now, the reason the two observers see the same thing is that there is NO PREFERRED FRAME OF REFERENCE. In other words, we can't say which of A and B is "really" moving.
The "paradox" arises because both A and B see the other as aging more slowly while they are travelling. Obviously they can't both be the oldest when they meet up again, so what's going on?
The explanation. Part 2: Accelerated parts of B's motion
A and B don't have the same experiences of the trip. As B speeds up and slows down the spaceship, s/he experiences the affects of acceleration (i.e. being pushed towards the rear or front of the ship). A DOESN'T experience the acceleration. So although we can't say whether A or B is "really" moving, we CAN say that B is accelerating and A isn't.
During the accelerated parts of the trip, A and BOTH see A's clocks as running faster than B's clocks. The net effect of this, together with the constant velocity parts of the trip, is that A ends up being older than B when they meet again.
The effects of gravity
Gravity may not seem especially relevant in the above discussion. However, in many ways acceleration is very similar to gravity. For example, it would be difficult to tell the difference between accelerating at 1 g in a rocket in deep space and standing in the rocket while it is stationary on Earth.
In a strong gravitational field, general relativity tells us that clocks run slower than in a weak gravitational field. When B turns around, s/he feels acceleration effects which are similar to being in a strong gravitational field, so B's clocks run slower than A's during the turn around phase of the trip.
Actual experiment: Atomic clocks
An experiment which has ACTUALLY BEEN DONE is to start off with two identical, synchronised atomic clocks, keep one on the ground and fly the other one around in a plane for a while. When the plane lands, the clock that was in the plane is found to have run a little slower than the one on the ground. The precise amount by which this is the case agrees with the combined predictions of special relativity (due to the speed of the plane relative to the ground) and general relativity (due to the fact that clock in the plane in the air is in a weaker gravitational field than the clock on the ground).

Spanners in the works:
James... what if the travelling twin doesn't accelerate to return to earth? Suppose we had her/him execute a smooth free-fall slingshot around a massive object. Now which twin is oldest upon return, and more importantly, why?.
;o) Challenge?

|Chris, in order to compare the twins' ages correctly, they must at some stage be in the same inertial frame. If one is then going to travel relative to the other, there must be a period of relative acceleration.
As for your slingshot around a massive object, there would, of course, be gravitational time dilation effects. In addition, from my GR lectures I vaguely recall certain problems with synchronising clocks around a spherical mass such as a planet.
What are your ideas on this?

|post id: 3642
Just trying to demonstrate that using acceleration as the distinguishing factor in the two journeys can be limiting.
Suppose the clocks are synchronised as the stellar twin passes by the stationary twin (this time on a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, by the window) already travelling at 0.99c (gamma = just over 7). The pass-by is within a metre. The trip is over a year in the subjective frame of the traveller.
Instead of accelerating to turn around the stellar twin either free falls around a massive object or exploits a region of curved or cylindrical topology to return, bypassing the satellite bound twin and synchronising. One should have aged by 7 years more than the other. But which? Neither twin accelerated during the journey, and the gravitational effect of the remote star puts the stellar twin at the bottom of the grav well... if anything making her age faster!
How do we explain that the twin who stayed at home aged faster??

|Hi, me again,
Chris said "Suppose the clocks are synchronised as the stellar twin passes by the stationary twin"
I thought the whole point was there is NO stationary.
All our local stars, planets & people may well be moving at 0.5C (relative to any cosmic stationary).
If our travelling twin goes off in the direction we came he would reduce his speed relative to C.
If there is such thing as 'Stationary', the travelling twin would age more!!

The idea is that it is possible to construct a scenario without an acceleration component. To be obtuse, I could remove the people and have simple atomic clocks do the travel, instantaneous turnaround via a signal, travel across a curved reinmann manifold - whatever it takes to eliminate the acceleration answer.
But the dilation still occurs.
There is a far more surefire way of telling why the travelling twin ages. Draw a simple 2-D space-time diagram (a "Minkowski 2-space"). If you map both journeys you will see that one diverges markedly. Since the proper time interval (denoted delta-Tau squared) is a combination of space and time, it becomes obvious which has aged.
In addition this way you can see the relative simultaneity points, etc. I'll see if I can draw some, and stick them up somewhere for you to see...

|What if the earth stopped moving around the sun or even stopped rotating so it is dead stationary? Would that mean that everything on earth would stop aging?

She held her 40th birthday party at the Tracy Aviary's Chase Mill and opened it to the public for food, dancing, karaoke and a silent auction raising money for the Aviary. Evelopes at the entrance were available to make optional donations as well.
Items in the auction ranged from local artists work to a giant gift basket from Liberty Heights Fresh.
Early in the evening, Stacy arranged workshops on Kalari dance/martial art, Anusara and Yin yoga. Each was taught by a professional instructor, just one way to loosen up before the big party.

"After everything that happened with the oil spill here in Liberty Park, it's really important we support places like the Aviary," says Stacy, who also covered all expenses for the party.
Salt Lake magazine was at the party. Here's some photos to recap the evening:

The gym's a lot more crowded these days than it was at the beginning of December, and as a result there's rarely a locker free to stash our stuff in. We don't mind toting around our outer layer, but more than a few times we've forgotten about smaller items and had to interrupt someone on a treadmill to retrieve our keys (awkward). The SPORT+STORE Bottle ($20) has a compartment in the bottom large enough to hold ID, cash, and a key or two, and since it's also got our water, we always have it with us. Hydration is important!
