text: Here in Jacksonville the current wait for an appointment is 6 weeks. I submit paperwork on April 15 - woo hoo! I suspect one reason for the backlogs is the desirability of a Florida CWL. We're getting a lot of applications from out-of-state, same as Utah. That's OK with me, I'm not in any particular rush, but it was a lot easier in Alabama: go to sheriff's office, pay 25 bucks, get your license.

Other people may count down the days to Christmas but I cross them off for San Francisco's annual Winter Fancy Food Show, January 19-21, 2014. Now in its 37th year, this is the West Coast's largest specialty food& beverage trade show. To give you a sense of how big it is, not only does it take over both sides of the Moscone Convention Center, but there is a mind-boggling 260,000 innovative gourmet food products, such as confections, cheese, coffee, snacks, spices, ethnic, and organic just begging to be sampled.
I'm going into serious training for this, similar to Rocky gearing up for his next fight, because working your way through 1,300 exhibitors representing the trendiest, and hopefully tastiest gourmet foods and beverages from over 35 countries is not for the faint-hearted (or those with delicate tummys).
Think of this as the Olympics of the food industry…except here they are called "The Sofi (specialty outstanding food innovation) Awards which honor the best of the best in specialty foods and beverages.
Last year, some of the red-carpet winners included a Hot Parmesan & Artichoke Dip Mix, Goat Cheese Cheesecake , Chocolate Tiffin with Biscuits, Roasted Almonds & Cherries, We Rub You - Spicy Korean BBQ Marinade among others.
But it's all worth it as you mine the aisles looking for the next Cronut. Stay tuned for my report on some of the best new food finds.

The New York Knicks continue to look like a different team since it became 2014 than the one that stunk it up for the final two months of 2013.
New York has now won three of it's last four games overall as they were able to hold off a fourth quarter rally from the Detriot Pistons. The Knicks had a 15 point lead going into the 4th, but the Pistons rallied and got within 1 point with under a minute to go. However, Carmelo Anthony had a huge offensive rebound off a missed free throw with the Knicks up by two. He was fouled after his rebound and made the two clinching free throws for a 89-85 victory. The victory ends a four game losing streak at home for New York and only their second two-game winning streak of the season.
"We're building, we're building something here," said Anthony. "We're getting our confidence back, we're getting or aura back, our swagger back and that's something we've been missing this season."
Anthony scored 13 of his game high 34 points in the pivotal third quarter that saw New York turn a 41-41 game at halftime to a 73-58 lead after three quarters. With the game tied at 49 midway through the third quarter, Anthony knocked down three consecutive shots from beyond the arc that gave the team a 58-49 lead. They would never relinquish lead after that.
"Coming out of halftime, we said we just need one run to just separate ourselves," Anthony said
While the freezing weather outside may have effected the cold shooting from New York, it did not affect Anthony at all as he made 13 of 24 from the field, The rest of the team was a combined 20-57 from the field as the team needed every one of those shots by their superstar.
With Tyson Chandler sitting out because of an upper respiratory infection, Andrea Bargnani and Kenyon Martin stepped up big time in his absence. Bargnani had a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Martin had a terrific all around game. The veteran power scored only six points but filled up the box score with seven rebounds, five assists, and two blocks. Martin's aggressive defensive play clearly gives the team some much needed swagger on that side of the court.
"We're starting to have a little bit more fun out there, trusting each other a lot more than we have," Anthony said. "Just believing in one another, so when it comes down to situations in games, guys feel like we're all on the same page, we're all a part of what's going on and that's just been the case these last couple of games."
Raymond Felton had 12 points and six assists as he returned back to the starting lineup from an injured groin that forced him to miss the last six games. He was forced to play most of the second half as Beno Udrih sat out the entire second half because of leg trouble. Felton nearly lost it for New York at the end as he had two critical turnovers in the final three minutes that led to two baskets.
"Sometimes, it becomes a little contagious," Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said. "You win a few close games, you remember how you win them. I've always said, there's a fine line when there's close games between winning and losing. You've gotta pretty much do all the right things to secure a win and I thought we did that coming down the stretch.
The team is playing it's best basketball of the season, and just in time for mighty Miami Heat. The Heat and New York will play each other for the first time this season on Thursday night at the Garden. Anthony didn't even have a clue that Lebron James and friends was next on the schedule.
"That's who we play next?," Anthony said. I honestly did not know," "We've gotta face them someway, somehow, one day or another. When do we play? Thursday? We gotta face them. It is what it is, we can't from them. I think we're getting better each day. They're playing well, we've gotta lace our sneakers up like they do come Thursday."
New York went 3-1 against the Heat last season. The Knicks expect to have Chandler back for Thursday night's showdown.

The Bill of Rights came into effect in 1791. Our nation went along fine with its Christian heritage until the Scopes trial of 1926 brought evolution into the classrooms. Sure there were dissenters and rumblings but until the Scopes trial Americans could speak freely about their faith in schools.
Since that time we have kicked God out of our schools, and decided that the Bill of Rights means something different than the founders who wrote this thought it meant. Christianity is now restricted from government properties and prayer has been removed from schools (except the occasional Islamic prayer).
Our nation was a much different place in 1791. Our people had a greater respect for Christ.
Princeton (founded in 1746) decided it's motto would be "Under God's power she flourishes." But today's students think they evolved from pond scum.
Harvard (the first true college in the USA) was started to train clergymen for ministry. It was taken over by Unitarians in the 1800's and these days it turns out the leaders of Wall Street and Washington.
Our nation is a much different place than when the Bill of Rights was written.
The Founding Fathers who came up with the Bill of Rights had no problems with Christianity in the schools or on government property as they were interested in protecting the rights of the many Christians that made up our nations at the time of the Bill.
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher and this has gone on since 1777.
52 of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of Orthodox Christian churches. So they intended to protect their religious freedoms.
Go to Washington DC and notice the Scriptural references on our government buildings. The Capital Building that houses the Supreme Court has laws givers on the building and in the middle they are all facing Moses and the ten commandments.
America was a Christian nation at one time. Today she is a group of confused people confusing the rights that were established by Christians. Christians are not even allowed to pray in schools anymore...something foreign to those that came up with the Bill of Rights as almost all of those men were men of prayer. The founding fathers would scold us for allowing the lie of evolution to replace creation in our schools. When the Constitution came about America was experiencing a Great Spiritual awakening...George Whitefield, John Wesley and others were getting multitudes to come to Christ in village after village...but no one remembers this because they took it out of the books after the Scopes Trail brought evolution in (1926).
They even removed the dedication prayer of Christopher Columbus when he arrived in the West Indies. Shameful liars and deceivers these haters of God are.
So now Muslims want a Mosque near the ground their fellow believers attacked. What about respect for those that lost loved ones in the attack? What about the potential offense this could be to some of those?
I ask our fellow citizens to point to a Islamic country where a Christian church would be allowed and tell me how easy that would be. In many Muslim countries they still beat and torture Christians for being Christians. Only in the Western World where Christ had prevailed upon the people making the laws was such religious liberty given.
I recognize that some among us of think Muslims have a right to freedom of religion and such is shared by myself as well, but why so close to the site of their brothers attack?
The Muslim faith will sometimes build a mosque after it has conquered a land. Check out the dome of the Rock built on the Temple mount in Jerusalem as proof. Building a Mosque near the 9/11 attack seems very similar in strategy. Building a Mosque will give them credibility and protections by our government and building close to the site of 9/11 is not a sign of peace. A sign of peace would be for Muslims to help Americans build a memorial of peace or some other sign. A Mosque is a declaration or proof of conquest and that is the last thing we need at this time.
Building a Mosque so close would signal to Muslims around the world that their religion is so powerful and right that America itself bowed in subservience on the heels of a direct attack by the "true" believers of the Koran.
People that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. While we should all try to live together in peace...let us look for peace in all these matters.

Harper, Billy (R.)
Harper, Billy (R.), tenor saxophonist, composer, arranger, educator; born Houston, TX, 17 January 1943. His family is musical and he was also strongly influenced by growing up in the A.M.E. (African Methodist Episcopal) church. His grandmother Pearl was married to a minister and was the "guiding light" of his life. Pearl (Nicknamed-"Peachie") raised him. His uncle Earl tried trumpet in high school in Austin, TX, alongside Kenny Dorham and got Billy interested in music. He was already singing "A tisket-a tasket" and other songs at the age of three. In 1948-1956 he began his singing career performing at sacred and secular functions. Around the age of 10 he became fascinated with the appearance of a saxophone that he saw in a music shop window each day as he came from school, and he received a Christmas gift of a tenor saxophone at age 11 from his biological mother, "Babysugar."
In high school he played in the marching band under Sammie Harris, alongside Michael Carvin and Michael Bolivar, and the band won a state championship. Another musical colleague was drummer Malcolm Pinson (they later performed together professionally). He learned about stagecraft from his drama and speech instructor, Vernell Lillie, and he found musical support in her husband, tenor saxophonist Richard (Dickie Boy) Lillie. He was working professionally in blues groups, and graduated cum laude in 1961 from Evan E. Worthing High School. From 1961-1965 he attended North Texas State University (now known as the
University of North Texas), from where he go to Dallas and meet James Clay, Claude Johnson, David "Fathead" Newman, Louis Spears, Ted Dunbar, Roger Boykins "Shag", and "Worm" (an alto saxophonist).
Harper was the first black musician to perform in the famed NTSU "One o'clock" big band that was awarded first prize at the Kansas Jazz Festival. He received a Bachelor of Music degree in 1965 with a major in saxophone, and a minor in theory. Additional major in experimental program for students particularly interested in jazz. Formed and performed frequently with the Billy Harper Sextet.
Moved to New York City in 1966. He spent about a year unemployed, sitting in at Slug's and elsewhere, though he got one lucky break in 1966 in an NBC-TV documentary film, "The Big Apple" (featured newcomers: model, boxer, businessman, opera singer, and jazzman).
Then he met Gil Evans on Broadway and in six months began working with him. In 1967 he also began working with Art Blakey, including a tour to Japan in'68. In 1970 Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Harper, Harold Mabern, and dedicated listeners formed the "Jazz and People's Movement to protest the absence of jazz in TV and radio broadcasting.He and Lee Morgran were in the group that "interrupted " the Merv Griffin Show, and later succeeded at voicing their grievances on the Dick Cavett Show. He worked with Lee Morgan from 1969 until the trumpeter's murder in Feb. 1971.
During this period overall, he worked with Evans 8 yrs., Donald Byrd ('70-'71), Thad Jones-Mel Lewis big band ('71-'78, including a trip to Russia in 1972), Max Roach ('71'-'79), and Randy Weston (with whom he still performs from time to time,'72-present). However since 1979 he has worked most often as leader of his own quintet. He made trips to Japan with Max Roach ('73, '74, '76), Thad Jones ('74), Gil Evans ('72), Billy Harper Quintet ('79), and five other times with All Star groups (1984, 85, and others). With his quintet, he has also toured Western Europe; Portugal; Istanbul, Turkey, Poland, Rumania, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Israel, Taiwan, South America, Japan, Phillipines, Kaoshung, Taiwan, Norway, Finland, France, Italy, Leipzig, Germany, and others.
He is very active as an educator. In 1972 he received a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Arts to teach improvisation at 15 high schools. In 1975 he taught saxophone and flute at Livingston College, Rutgers University. From 1992 to the present he has taught at the New School jazz program, and since 1993 he has presented lectures and master classes at educational institutions around the world.

Title here
Release date: November 30, 2011
Washington, D.C.—GuideStar, the leading source of nonprofit information, and Hope Consulting, a boutique strategy consulting firm, today announced the results of a new study, Money for Good II (MFGII), that shows if nonprofits and information providers are able to provide donors, advisors, and foundation grantmakers with the information that they want, where and how they want it, these donors would consider shifting up to $15 billion in charitable dollars to higher-performing nonprofits.
Every day, almost every American is touched by a nonprofit organization in some way, whether a loved one is treated for a health concern or uses a service that is being offered in their community. Almost all Americans make a contribution each year, and half of all Americans volunteer.
In this tough economic climate, when people are struggling to make ends meet and nonprofits are dealing with declining funding even as demand for their services is growing, it's imperative that hard-earned dollars result in the most value. MFGII provides actionable information that nonprofits, information providers, and others who care about giving can use to provide Americans with the right information on nonprofits, where and how they want it.
"As Money for Good II concludes, if we can change just 5 percent of charitable giving behavior, we can potentially move $15 billion to those nonprofits that deserve it most," said Bob Ottenhoff, president and CEO of GuideStar. "This research gives an organization like ours, which provides comprehensive, trusted nonprofit information, an opportunity to do a better job in presenting and prioritizing the data."
MFGII shows that, while just a third of individual donations are researched today, more donors could be influenced to research if they had better information in more transparent and clear formats. The research shows that it is possible to influence about 5 percent of donations each year, which can lead to a shift in $15 billion in charitable donations. Some of the key findings of the research:
Despite these different behaviors, the groups have similar preferences for research. Specifically:
These findings present a wonderful opportunity for nonprofits to better connect with donors by providing more—and more detailed—information about their organizations. At the same time, it's an opportunity to educate donors about the need to research before donating. MFGII provides actionable recommendations, including:
"We live in a world of reactive giving, where we give to our brother-in-law to support his marathon; to our friend hosting a fundraiser; to a phone call or mailing we receive," said Greg Ulrich, director of advisory services at Hope Consulting. "Nonprofits need to show just how effective they are in meeting their mission—and most importantly, donors need to look for that impact information before they make a charitable gift. Changing the system will be hard, but not impossible."
The Money for Good II project was made possible through the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Liquidnet. Both qualitative and quantitative research was examined across three audiences: individual donors, persons who advise donors on philanthropic decisions, and foundation grantmakers.
Specifically, the research included seven focus groups of approximately 10 people each, and a quantitative survey that included 5,227 individual donors, 873 advisors to donors, and 727 foundation grantmakers. The individual donors all had household incomes over $50,000 (wealthiest 50 percent of the U.S. population), with an oversample of 1,000 donors with household incomes over $300,000. The survey covered three main elements for each population group: their current giving/granting behavior; their preferences for different types of information, format, and channel; and how much money they would consider giving/granting differently if their preferences were met. The project also benefited from an industry-leading advisory council, including:

No offensive player on the New Orleans Saints creates greater mismatches than Jimmy Graham, as he's too fast for linebackers and too tall for defensive backs.
Now, imagine putting another player like him on the field.
You can bet Sean Payton has.
NFL.com says scouts view former North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron "as a Jimmy Graham-like difference-maker," but he should be gone well before the Saints make their No. 27 overall selection.
There's also former Notre Dame tight end Troy Niklas. He, like Graham, is 6-foot-7. NFL.com says his "sneaky athleticism" makes him an "intriguing prospect," and cbssports.com says he might still be on the board in the second round.
Picture a player like him lined up on one side of the formation with Graham split wide on the other side. Dangerous.
What do you think? Would selecting an athletic, playmaking tight end make sense for the Saints? Or do they have other needs to address before considering a tight end?

Michel Sajrawy: Pink Inside
Pink Inside
Michel Sajrawy (electric guitar)
Writings on the Wall (Ozella OZ 016 CD)
Michel Sajrawy (electric guitar),
Franck Dhersin (piano), Valeri Lipets (contra bass), Ameen Atrash (drums).
Composed by Michel Sajrawy.
Recorded: April 19-20, 2007
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
The talented Palestinian guitarist from Nazareth Michel Sajrawy distinguishes himself with a warm tone, fluid and supple single-line runs, and string bending to accomplish quarter-tone steps. It all jells to create a pleasingly lilting sound. He also meshes fusion-ish jazz with Makamat (the world music of the Arabic Middle East) by combining the basic song structures of the American style with the harmony of his native region.
"Pink Inside" is a Yankee waltz that Sajrawy constructed with sensitivity, matching its delicate melody to the light gait of the 3/4 time. Having accomplished that with a subtle mixture of Arabic chords and jazz ones, the guitarist uses cascading string bends and precise note selection to bring out the song's full potential. Another mark of a mature, confident player is the just-right way he paces himself by modulating the speed of his notes. The backing band's strong support is highlighted by Atrash's active brushwork and Dhersin's nicely complementary piano solo.
"Pink Inside" presents Michel Sajrawy as a guitarist and composer of great acumen who perfectly balances a deep understanding of American jazz with a great respect for his Middle Eastern heritage.

"Practice guidelines for postanesthetic care: an updated report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Postanesthetic Care." 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: American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Postanesthetic Care. Practice guidelines for postanesthetic care: a report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Postanesthetic Care. Anesthesiology. 2002 Mar;96(3):742-52.
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse: This guideline references a drug(s) for which important revised regulatory and/or warning information has been released.
Patients of all ages who have just received general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or moderate or deep sedation
Note: The Guidelines may need to be modified to meet the needs of certain patient populations, such as children or the elderly. The Guidelines do not apply to patients receiving infiltration local anesthesia without sedation, patients receiving minimal sedation (anxiolysis), or patients receiving intensive care.
Patient Assessment and Monitoring
Prophylaxis and Treatment of Nausea and Vomiting
Treatment during Emergence and Recovery
Antagonism of the Effects of Sedatives, Analgesics, and Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
Protocol for Discharge
Scientific Evidence
Scientific evidence used in the development of these Guidelines is based on findings from literature published in peer-reviewed journals. Literature citations are obtained from PubMed and other healthcare databases, direct internet searches, task force members, liaisons with other organizations, and from hand searches of references located in reviewed articles.
State of the Literature
For these updated Guidelines, a review of studies used in the development of the original Guidelines in 2002 was combined with studies published after approval of the original Guidelines. The scientific assessment of these Guidelines was based on evidence linkages or statements regarding potential relationships between clinical interventions and outcomes. The interventions listed below were examined to assess their relationship to a variety of outcomes related to postanesthetic care management.
Treatment During Emergence and Recovery
Protocol for Discharge from Postanesthesia Care Unit
For the literature review, potentially relevant clinical studies were identified via electronic and manual searches of the literature. The updated electronic and manual searches covered an 11-yr period from 2002 through 2012. Citations obtained during the updated search were combined with literature reviewed during development of the original Guidelines, resulting in more than 1300 citations that addressed topics related to the evidence linkages. Eighty-two new articles were accepted as evidence, and findings were compared with the original Guidelines, resulting in a total of 619 articles used as postanesthetic care evidence. For reporting purposes in this updated document, only new citations are referenced. A complete bibliography used to develop these Guidelines, organized by section, is available as Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/ALN/A907 .
Eighty-two new articles were accepted as evidence, and findings were compared with the original Guidelines, resulting in a total of 619 articles used as postanesthetic care evidence.
Findings from the aggregated literature are reported in the text of the Guidelines by evidence category, level, and direction. Evidence categories refer specifically to the strength and quality of the research design of the studies. Category A evidence represents results obtained from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and Category B evidence represents observational results obtained from nonrandomized study designs or RCTs without pertinent controls. When available, Category A evidence is given precedence over Category B evidence in the reporting of results. These evidence categories are further divided into evidence levels. Evidence levels refer specifically to the strength and quality of the summarized study findings (i.e., statistical findings, type of data, and the number of studies reporting/replicating the findings) within the two evidence categories. For this document, only the highest level of evidence is included in the summary report for each intervention, including a directional designation of benefit, harm, or equivocality for each outcome.
Category A
RCTs report comparative findings between clinical interventions for specified outcomes. Statistically significant (P <0.01) outcomes are designated as either beneficial (B) or harmful (H) for the patient; statistically nonsignificant findings are designated as equivocal (E).
Level 1: The literature contains a sufficient number of RCTs to conduct meta-analysis, and meta-analytic findings from these aggregated studies are reported as evidence.
Level 2: The literature contains multiple RCTs, but the number of RCTs is not sufficient to conduct a viable meta-analysis for the purpose of these Guidelines. Findings from these RCTs are reported as evidence.
Level 3: The literature contains a single RCT, and findings from this study are reported as evidence.
Category B
Observational studies or RCTs without pertinent comparison groups may permit inference of beneficial or harmful relationships among clinical interventions and outcomes. Inferred findings are given a directional designation of beneficial (B), harmful (H) or equivocal (E). For studies that report statistical findings, the threshold for significance is P <0.01.
Level 1: The literature contains observational comparisons (e.g., cohort, case-control research designs) between clinical interventions for a specified outcome.
Level 2: The literature contains observational studies with associative statistics (e.g., relative risk, correlation, sensitivity/specificity).
Level 3: The literature contains noncomparative observational studies with descriptive statistics (e.g., frequencies, percentages).
Level 4: The literature contains case reports.
Insufficient Evidence
The lack of sufficient scientific evidence in the literature may occur when the evidence is either unavailable (i.e., no pertinent studies found) or inadequate. Inadequate literature cannot be used to assess relationships among clinical interventions and outcomes, since such literature does not permit a clear interpretation of findings due to methodological concerns (e.g., confounding in study design or implementation) or does not meet the criteria for content as defined in the "Focus" of the Guidelines.
Opinion-Based Evidence
The original Guidelines contained formal survey information collected from expert consultants and a random sample of active members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Additional information was obtained from open-forum presentations and other invited and public sources. All opinion-based evidence relevant to each topic (e.g., survey data, open-forum testimony, internet-based comments, letters, and editorials) was considered in the development of the original Guidelines. However, only the findings obtained from formal surveys are reported. Survey responses from the consultants and ASA members obtained during development of the original Guidelines are summarized in the text of this update and reported in appendix 2 of the original guideline document. No new surveys were conducted for this update.
Category A: Expert Opinion
Survey responses from Task Force–appointed expert consultants are reported in summary form in the text, with a complete listing of consultant survey responses reported in appendix 2 of the original guideline document.
Category B: Membership Opinion
Survey responses from a random sample of active ASA members are reported in summary form in the text, with a complete listing of ASA member survey responses reported in appendix 2 of the original guideline document.
Survey responses from expert and membership sources are recorded using a three-point scale and summarized based on weighted values. The following terms describe survey responses for any specified issue. Responses are assigned a numeric value of agree = +1, undecided = 0, or disagree = −1. The average weighted response represents the mean value for each survey item.
Agree: The average weighted response must be equal to or greater than +0.30 (on a scale of −1 to 1) to indicate agreement.
Equivocal: The average weighted response must be between −0.30 and +0.30 (on a scale of −1 to 1) to indicate an equivocal response.
Disagree: The average weighted response must be equal to or less than −0.30 (on a scale of −1 to 1) to indicate disagreement.
Category C: Informal Opinion
Open-forum testimony during development of the previous Guidelines, internet-based comments, letters, and editorials are all informally evaluated and discussed during the formulation of Guideline recommendations. When warranted, the Task Force may add educational information or cautionary notes based on this information.
Initially, each pertinent study finding was classified and summarized to determine meta-analysis potential. The original Guidelines reported literature pertaining to seven clinical interventions that contained enough studies with well-defined experimental designs and statistical information to conduct formal meta-analyses (See Table 1 in original guideline document). These seven interventions were as follows: (1) prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting, (2) treatment of nausea and vomiting (i.e., ondansetron only), (3) multiple medications for the prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting, (4) supplemental oxygen, (5) forced-air warming systems, (6) meperidine for shivering, and (7) reversal agents to antagonize the effects of sedatives, analgesics, or neuromuscular blocking agents. Review of new literature published after completion of the original Guidelines in 2001 contained a sufficient number of studies to conduct meta-analyses addressing the prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting (see table 2 in the original guideline document).
General variance-based effect-size estimates or combined probability tests were obtained for continuous outcome measures, and Mantel-Haenszel odds ratios were obtained for dichotomous outcome measures. Two combined probability tests were used as follows: (1) the Fisher combined test, producing chi-square values based on logarithmic transformations of the reported P values from the independent studies, and (2) the Stouffer combined test, providing weighted representation of the studies by weighting each of the standard normal deviates by the size of the sample. An odds-ratio procedure based on the Mantel-Haenszel method for combining study results using 2 × 2 tables was used with outcome frequency information. An acceptable significance level was set at P value less than 0.01 (one-tailed). Tests for heterogeneity of the independent studies were conducted to assure consistency among the study results. DerSimonian-Laird random-effects odds ratios were obtained when significant heterogeneity was found (P <0.01). To control for potential publishing bias, a "fail-safe n" value was calculated. No search for unpublished studies was conducted, and no reliability tests for locating research results were done. When available, odds ratio and combined-test findings must all agree for them to be considered significant.
Meta-analysis of new literature reported significant odds ratios for the prevention of nausea and vomiting for the following interventions: dolasetron, granisetron, ondansetron, and dexamethasone (8 mg); findings for metoclopramide and dexamethasone (4–5 mg only) were equivocal. No new combined tests were conducted due to an insufficient number of studies with continuous or interval level data. In the original Guidelines, interobserver agreement among Task Force members and two methodologists was established by interrater reliability testing. Agreement levels using a kappa (κ) statistic for two-rater agreement pairs were as follows: type of study design, κ = 0.80–1.00; (2) type of analysis, κ = 0.55–1.00; (3) evidence linkage assignment, κ = 0.91–1.00; and (4) literature inclusion for database, κ = 0.78–1.00. Three-rater chance-corrected agreement values were as follows: (1) study design, Sav = 0.86, Var (Sav) = 0.011; (2) type of analysis, Sav = 0.65, Var (Sav) = 0.026; (3) linkage assignment, Sav = 0.81, Var (Sav) = 0.005; and (4) literature database inclusion, Sav = 0.84, Var (Sav) = 0.045. These values represent moderate to high levels of agreement. For the updated Guidelines, the same two methodologists involved in the original Guidelines conducted the literature review.
Consensus-Based Evidence
The original Guidelines obtained consensus from multiple sources, including: (1) survey opinion from consultants who were selected based on their knowledge or expertise in difficult airway management, (2) survey opinions solicited from active members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), (3) testimony for the previous update from attendees of a publicly held open forum at a major national anesthesia meeting,‡ (4) internet commentary, and (5) task force opinion and interpretation. The rate of return was 50% (n = 56/112) for the consultants and 21% (n = 211/1,000) for the membership (see Table 3 in the original guideline document). Consultants and ASA members were supportive of all of the interventions, with the following exceptions: (1) routine assessment of urinary output and voiding, (2) routine pharmacologic prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting, (3) nonpharmacologic treatment of nausea and vomiting, (4) supplemental oxygen during transport or in the postanesthesia care unit, (5) routine use of flumazenil and naloxone, (6) requiring that patients urinate before discharge, (7) requiring that patients drink water before discharge, and (8) requiring a minimum stay in recovery. The original Guidelines also included an additional survey sent to the expert consultants asking them to indicate which, if any, of the evidence linkages would change their clinical practices if the Guideline update was instituted. The rate of return was 35% (N = 39/112). The percent of responding Consultants expecting no change associated with each linkage were as follows: assessment and monitoring of respiratory function— 100%; cardiovascular assessment/monitoring—95%; assessment of neuromuscular function—95%; assessment of mental status— 97%; assessment of temperature—95%; assessment and monitoring of pain—100%; assessment of nausea and vomiting—97%; fluid assessment and management— 100%; assessment and monitoring of urine output and voiding—95%; assessment of draining and bleeding— 100%; prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting—95%; treatment of nausea and vomiting—97%; multiple medications for the prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting—95%; multiple medications for the treatment of nausea and vomiting—97%; administration of supplemental oxygen—100%; normalizing patient temperature—100%; forced-air warming systems— 85%; meperidine for shivering—92%; flumazenil for reversal of general anesthesia—95%; flumazenil for reversal of sedation—97%; naloxone for opioid reversal—100%; edrophonium for reversal of neuromuscular blockade—97%; neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade—100%; not requiring that patients urinate before discharge—92%; not requiring patients to drink water without vomiting before discharge—85%; requiring that patients have a responsible individual accompany them home—95%; and not requiring a mandatory minimum stay in recovery—85%. Eighty-two percent of the respondents indicated that the Guidelines would have no effect on the amount of time spent on a typical case.
‡ American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting, October, 1999, Dallas, TX.
The original Guidelines were developed by an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) appointed Task Force of ten members, consisting of anesthesiologists in private and academic practices from various geographic areas of the United States, and two consulting methodologists from the ASA Committee on Standards and Practice Parameters.
The Task Force developed the original Guidelines by means of a seven-step process. First, they reached consensus on the criteria for evidence. Second, original published research studies from peer-reviewed journals relevant to postanesthetic care were reviewed and evaluated.

Applying a literal take on fresh-faced and dewy, Prescriptives Magic Powder ($35) is a finishing powder that is 70% water. Yeah, we don't get it either – powder that's mostly water? It maintains its powder form as you apply it on your face, but instantly hydrates and brightens your skin, giving you a soft glowing finish. The craziest thing? It actually feels moist as you apply it to your face.

Saudi King unveils new Arab financing plan
King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, of Saudi Arabia, unveiled Monday an initiative to raise the capital of Arab financial institutions by at least 50 percent in order to keep up with the growing demand for funding development projects in the Arab world, especially in poor Arab states.
The initiative was made public by Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Deputy Premier and Minister of Defense, during the third Arab Economic and Social Development Summit being held in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The summit brought together leaders from around the Middle East to discuss ways of improving inter-Arab trade and Arab economies.
"I avail this opportunity to call for increasing the capital of Arab financial institutions with no less than 50 percent of its current value, as agreed by the governors of those institutions, in order to keep up with the growing demand for funding Arab development projects and supporting Arab countries, particularly the least developed countries." Crown Prince Salman said on behalf of King Abdullah. The statement was carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA)
He also called for increasing the capital of existing joint Arab companies with no less than 50 percent of its current value, in order to expand businesses and enhance participation with Arab capitals private sector.
"The role of private sector in the global economy is growing. The Arab private sector is urged to take the initiative in leading the growth in the Arab world, through increasing the volume of inter-Arab trade and investment exchange. Arab governments should make every effort to overcome obstacles facing Arab private sector and to create the right environment to encourage the flow of inter-Arab investments," the crown prince added.
He said urgent developmental issues facing Arab countries such as poverty, unemployment and disease need to be addressed and eradicated.
The monarch also called for completing efforts towards establishing the Grand Arab Free Trade Zone by 2015, according to SPA. He also addressed the need to increase the pan-Arab trade through International Islamic Trade Corporation.
A recent economic report claims unemployment in 2011 stood at 16 percent in Arab countries where 17 million people out of 300 million are jobless, according to AFP.
At the same time inter-Arab investments stood at a mere $25 billion across the region.

Battle of Blair Mountain poster
by Just Seeds and Chris Stain
After years of inhumane living and working conditions, in 1921 the coal miners of Appalachia answered the call to organize. The largest armed uprising in US labor history, 12,000 workers from West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Ohio flooded Kanawha County, WV to setup a union by force. Vehemently anti-union, a local sheriff and the coal companies attacked the miners. Thousands of armed and angry miners rushed into the lush hills and winding paths of Blair Mountain to fight for the union. Federal troops were called in and the miners dispersed in order to avoid further bloodshed. At the time the struggle was seen as a failure, but in retrospect the Battle of Blair Mountain led directly to a much larger and stronger union movement!

Me too! I wish there was a Matewan poster. My great-grandmother lived through that one.
- Katelyn Carter 8/3/2010
I'm from WV, and when I saw this I almost cried. There aren't many people who appreciate or even know the coal mining movements and tragedies that have happened here. Thank you so much. This is really nice to see.

College Hockey:Bemidji, Alabama-Huntsville, Skate To Tie
Beavers Rally For Third Point On Weekend
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Despite a power play opportunity for each team in overtime, neither Bemidji State nor Alabama-Huntsville could score a fourth goal to pick up a win in front of 1,487 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.
"Obviously, you want a sweep, and when you get a power play in overtime, you think you'd be able to get something done, but to come down here and get three points, you're always happy about that," commented Beavers' coach Tom Serratore after his team took over the lead in the CHA standings pending, Saturday night's tilt between Niagara and Robert Morris. "If you can go on the road and not lose, you're going to walk out of there with a smile on your face.
Bemidji skated out to an early lead with a power play tally off the stick of Chris Peluso with 6:26 gone in the first. The Chargers answered later in the period with two goals on one power-play opportunity, as Matt Francis and Travis Winter went off the ice 1:22 apart to give the home team a two-man advantage. Joe Federoff tied the game at one by banging home a rebound of a Scott Kalinchuk slap shot past Beavers' netminder Matt Climie 21 seconds into the two-man advantage. Matt Sweazey then netted the first of his two goals on the night with 10 seconds left in the advantage, pushing a rebound off a Brennan Barker shot past Climie.
"It's just nice to get some goals," Sweazey remarked. "The pucks were going in for us tonight. I don't think we were doing anything different out there. We were just getting some bounces."
Chargers' coach Danton Cole liked what he saw on the power play. "We weren't static. Tommy Train skated around and made them commit, and good puck movement allowed us to get some goals. We threw the puck on the net and didn't waste any time, and lo and behold, it finds a guy's stick."
Winter atoned for his earlier sin 7:02 into the second, scoring just as a Chargers' penalty came off the board by banging home a loose puck. The Chargers didn't help themselves when Brandon Roshko took a penalty during the celebration of Winter's goal. Despite being down a man, the Chargers were able to get a rush after a solid outlet from Davide Nicoletti found a flying Kevin Morrison, who fed Sweazey for the shorthanded goal.
"I was happy that we got some power-play goals off our sticks, and the short-hander was nice, too," Cole remarked. "From the beginning of the game to the end, there wasn't a drop-off in effort. Whether we were up one or down one, it didn't affect our effort."
Chris McKelvie scored the game-tying goal at 15:47 of the second as he and teammate Tyler Lehrke solved the Chargers' defense to knot the game at three.
"That's a pretty good team over there," Cole said of Bemidji State. "They have a very good concept of what they want to do on the ice."
Bemidji State continues their CHA road show with their final trip to Wayne State University next weekend, while the Chargers take a week off before traveling to Notre Dame to reprise their NCAA tournament matchup from last season.
