Public has a role in hospital deal
Published: Monday, May 27, 2013 at 2:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 27, 2013 at 2:58 p.m.
The Lafourche Parish Council has started looking into the possibility of combining the Thibodaux and Lady of the Sea hospitals.
The council passed a resolution earlier this month formally requesting that a feasibility study be conducted on combining the two.
The council voted 5-4 in favor of the resolution in spite of loud and vigorous opposition from a large group of Lady of the Sea employees.
Their main complaint — a valid one — is that so much of the process has already been hidden from the public.
Councilman Jerry Lafont, who proposed the resolution, said during the May 14 meeting that he has held meetings with members of the Thibodaux Regional Medical Center board.
He has said that he now wants to include the boards of both hospitals in future talks.
That is good.
Certainly any notion of moving forward on combining the hospital districts will require the cooperation and involvement of the groups of people who know the two hospitals the best.
Unfortunately, the process up to this point has been veiled in secrecy.
The public was not included in any of the meetings Lafont has already held. And neither were the Lady of the Sea board members.
In addition, there seem to be ulterior motives at play here.
The original resolution that Lafont had before the council sought to delay hiring a CEO for Lady of the Sea to replace retiring CEO Don Werner. It is still unclear why Lafont would tie the two measures together. Perhaps there is every intention of including the public in the entire process, but so far, that does not appear to be the case.
When contacted about the feasibility study, Thibodaux Regional issued a terse, two-sentence statement and refused further comment. The board members called for comment also refused.
That doesn't look like the beginning of an open process.
Lady of the Sea workers are rightly concerned that they will be left out of the process, as they have been up to this point.
That is simply inexcusable. Any decision about what to do with two hospitals with such broad community roots and impact should be conducted with the welcome input of the public, which will ultimately benefit or suffer from the decision.
So far, at least, there is little reason to believe that will be the case.
Rather than sowing fear and suspicion, our public officials should be encouraging trust and involvement. There is still time for them to embrace that noble objective — and they should.

2001 Mercedes-Benz SL600 ProblemsRadiators Break Due to Degradation of the Plastic Tanks and Fittings
A coolant leak may develop form the Radiator due to degradation of its plastic components. Replacement of the failed radiator will be necessary.
A refrigerant leak may develop from one or more of the following AC components: AC compressor, hose manifold for the compressor, or the evaporator core. The loss of refrigerant can cause poor AC performance. Our technicians tell us that proper leak diagnoses should be performed in order to determine the cause of any refrigerant loss.
Due to exposure to the sun, lenses for head lights become opaque (cloudy or hazy). This reduces the effectiveness of the lights. Plastic polishes can improve the clarity of the lenses, but replacement of the lamp housings is the only way to regain the full intensity of the lights.

The California Air Resources Board's 2006 investigation of Los Angeles-based Viva Motor Sports led to a $1.875 million judgment by the Los Angeles Superior Court against it and other companies for selling non-California certified motorcycles and off-road recreational vehicles. The vehicles did not meet California's emissions standards.
"There are plenty of great motorcycles that meet clean air standards. Most dealers know this and carry only bikes that have their California smog certificate. Those who try to cut corners put themselves in a lose-lose situation," said ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols in a news releases. "Violators pay penalties and damage their reputations while putting public health at risk."
Those penalized include Viva Motor Sports Inc., DEC 26 Inc., BH Motorsports Inc., Nitro Motorsports Inc, and associated businesses. All are based in the Los Angeles area. Each will pay $268,000, with the balance of the fine to be stayed.

Old English nægel (noun), næglan (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch nagel and German Nagel, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin unguis and Greek onux.
When the word nail emerged in the Old English period it already had its main modern meanings of 'small metal spike' and 'fingernail'. To nail a lie is to expose a falsehood, an idiom known from the early nineteenth century. The reference is most likely to shopkeepers nailing forged coins to their shop counter to expose them and put them out of circulation. If money is paid on the nail it is paid without delay, immediately. The phrase may come from the Satires of the Roman poet Horace, who used ad ungulum, 'on the nail', to mean 'to perfection' or 'to the utmost'. This referred either to Roman sculptors making the finishing touches to their work with a fingernail, or to carpenters using a fingernail to test the accuracy of a joint. An American equivalent was on the barrelhead, an upturned barrel being a simple shop counter.

Jay Bulger, 2012
Artificial Eye
Not many documentaries begin with the film-maker smashed in the face by his subject but Ginger Baker is no ordinary subject and, luckily, newcomer Jay Bulger is equal to the task. With Cream, Blind Faith and many others, Baker single-handedly (or rather two-handedly) created the sound of modern rock drumming – not to mention every crazy-drummer cliché.
Archive footage captures his quicksilver talent, a blur of hair, sticks and teeth but supremely controlled, unlike his personal life. In Africa his unique style found its spiritual home and there he survives, still volatile, enraged, unrepentant.

Skill Level Intermediate
iMovie '09 comes with a brand new feature called Travel Maps, which lets you illustrate where your movie takes place, or where you travel to, using stylized and animated globes or maps. It's probably not something you will use all the time, but it's an absolutely stunning effect to throw into your travel videos. You can add Travel Maps to any point in your projects and at anytime. I'm just using a new blank project here so I can demo these for you. To add a travel map to your project, click the Maps & Backgrounds button. There are three types of maps available and they are divided into these three rows.
In the first row, you will find the Globes, which let you place a 3D globe in your movie, showing either a single location or an animated travel-line from one place to another. In the second row, you have your Flat Maps, but you can also use to zoom-in on a single location, or show an animated travel-line. And the third row contains Still Maps, which can be used when you don't need to show a specific location, but instead you want to use the graphic of a map in your video. You can crop and apply the Ken Burns effect to the Still Maps to add some animation to them, and each of these three types of maps have four style variations, Old World, Water Color, Educational, and Blue Marble. Pick the one you like best, you can change your mind at anytime.
All right, let's see how this works. I'm going to grab the Blue Marble Globe and drag that into my project. iMovie takes a moment to generate the globe, and now I can customize it by using the Inspector. If you accidentally close the Inspector, you can always bring it back up by double-clicking the clip. So in here we can change the duration of the clip and apply video effects to it. But the cool stuff is adding start locations and end locations. By default, we have San Francisco as our start location, but when you click it, this will ask you to search for other locations all around the globe.
In the Search field at the top, type in the city or location you want to focus on. iMovie contains over 4000 cities, airports, and points of interest all around the world. Let's go with Melbourne. So it's narrowed it down to three locations in Melbourne, Australia, just the general city of Melbourne, and MLB, Melbourne International, and Melbourne U.S.A. Let's say I flew out of Melbourne International, I would select that, and click OK. There it is on my globe. Now, if you want to display on the map to say something different, go back to the Inspector, click your start location, and in the field where it says Name to display on map, just click and type your preferred label. It doesn't have to be the name of the city, it could be something like home, or Day 1 whatever you want the label to be.
Now, if you just leave the starting point on your globe, that's what the clip will focus on. Let me play this back for you by hitting my spacebar. So you can see the globe rotates to show Melbourne right in center, and then the dot above it just sort of blinks. But the real fun starts when you add an end-point to your map. Let me double-click to bring up the Inspector again. Choose End Location. Let's type in Los Angeles, and we'll just say Los Angeles, California, select OK. Let's say that I actually started in LA and then went to Melbourne. So I'm going to click the Switch button here to change my direction, and we'll see what that looks like now.
How cool is that! Now, we have this animated travel-line showing the path of my travels. There is an added bonus if you notice at the bottom of the inspector, iMovie actually displays the distance traveled between the two points. Now, what if you had multiple destinations in your trip? Well, just drag-in another map. You can drag-in any map you like, but the effect is going to look seamless if you keep the same map. So I'm going to drag-in Blue Marble globe again. With this clip selected, notice that it already has Melbourne as the start location, because that was the end location of my first clip, and now I can choose another end location.
Let's go with Tokyo, and I should mention here that, you can only add locations that iMovie knows. You can't type-in your own locations or GPS co-ordinates or anything like that. But chances are, if you are traveling around the world, you are using airports, and chances are the airport you are traveling to or from will be an iMovie. We'll choose Tokyo, click OK, and let's see what that looks like with the two Travel Maps playing together. There it is. Now, if you do want to change your Map Style, all you have to do is drag it over your existing map clip. So if I wanted to change to the Old World Globe, I could choose that. iMovie will actually remember which cities you are using in that clip, so you don't have to enter that information again. All it's changing here is the animation.
Now, the Flat Maps pretty much work the same way, just choose a style and drag it into your project. Again, you can pick a single start location, or start and an end location to add an animated travel-line. So maybe if I want to focus in on Tokyo here, I can just leave Tokyo as my start location without adding an end location, and we'll see what that looks like. You can see it just zooms-in on Tokyo, and again we get that little blip above Tokyo. And because these are just clips in my project, I can still add transitions between the cut from one map to another, so the cut isn't so sudden. So I could switch over to my transitions here, maybe just grab a Cross Dissolve, drag that between the two, and we'll see this. So that just softens that transition.
Finally, as I mentioned before, the Still Maps are useful when you don't have a particular location in mind, and just want to display a map of the world in your project. I'll just drag one in to show you. And I'll play it. So you can see, there's just a very slight zoom-out on the map there. But you can double-click the map's Crop button to adjust its cropping or to customize the Ken Burns effect. So for example, maybe I want to end up focusing on the European continent at the end of this animation. So I'm just going to reduce the size of the end rectangle. Let me just drag it over Europe in general there and grab the start rectangle and zoom all the way out, click Done, and then we have something like this.
Double-clicking the Still Map doesn't allow you to select a city, so again if you do want to animate a city on your map, you have to use either the Globe or the Flat Map. So those are the new Travel Maps in iMovie '09. Again, not something you'll use in every single project, but they are a fantastic research to have when you are putting together videos of your travels.

Burger 21 Ends 2013 with Same-Store Sales Growth [1]
Read More About
Burger 21, a better-burger franchise founded by the owners of The Melting Pot Restaurants Inc., announced strong growth in 2013 with eight new franchise agreements signed to develop 14 units as part of its aggressive growth strategy to bring its burgers and shakes to more cities across the country. The average unit volume increased from $1.47 million to $1.75 million, a 19-percent increase over last year. Additionally, the company reported a 2.6-percent same-stores sales increase for its first two company-owned restaurants in Tampa, Florida.
The concept opened five restaurants in 2013, most recently in Ashburn, Virginia; Fort Myers, Flordia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Atlanta. The brand also signed two agreements to develop its first franchise units in the Phoenix metro area, marking the company's entry into the West. New agreements were also signed for Albany, New York; Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania; and Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Pembroke Pines, Florida. The first Burger 21 location in South Florida is expected to open in February.
"What an incredible year it has been for Burger 21. We've experienced strong growth and continued to receive recognition for being a leader in the fast-casual segment," says Mark Johnston, Burger 21 president and chief concept officer and president of Front Burner Brands, the management company for Burger 21. "We're pleased to report our first increase in same-store sales and average unit volume, which will further position the brand as an attractive business model for single and multiunit operators. To build on last year's momentum, we plan to open 10 new units across five states in 2014 and will continue to focus on creating an exceptional dining experience for our guests."
To kick off 2014, Burger 21 will be exhibiting at Franchise Expo South February 6–8 at the Reliant Center in Houston. Local entrepreneurs are invited to meet with the brand's franchise development team at Booth No. 605 to learn more about growth opportunities.

Just loves those paychecks from the romantic comedies of the ealy 2000's Or Mud. McConaughey is a helluva talented actor and the perfect choice for this role. Along with most of the other posters I very much enjoyed it. I also think that its visually very interesting. Cinematography is on par with Breaking Bad.

Articles in the Magento eCommerce Category
We know that we can call a block to show products in your home page or in any CMS page. We MUST specify category ID:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="5″
Now, what if I want to show products from multiple categories or simply show all my products?
Well, here's what I did. I created a custom module to extend some core classes, and I did it this way:
Activate custom module
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Set up the module
Here, we set up our blocks and extend our Colletion class.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Listcategories class
class ModuleName_Catalog_Block_Product_Listcategories
extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List{
//same function from Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List
protected …
When you use multi-languages, You want category url for each language is difference.
For category is Electronics
you want in the English it will is www.yourmagentosite.com/electronics
However in the other language( French example) it will be www.yourmagentosite.com/frenchname.
However in magento: the url key for category is always is Global. So when you change it for a storeview, it will be changed for all storeviews.
The url_key in manager attribute only apply for products, so change it will don"t work for category.

We have got many requests lately about how to add SSL (https)-support in Magento. Here is instructions on how to add SSL-support to a Magento-installation.
Who needs SSL?
SSL is important for stores who want their customers to be sure everything they enter in the Account-area and Checkout-area is encrypted along the way from their browser to your server. Stores with payment-gateways where the customer type in their creditcard-information directly in Magento and is not transferred to a secure page at the creditcard-providers servers will also need SSL.
So what do I need …
With the latest release of Magento 1.3, there really is no escaping the fact that Magento is the number one software for your eCommerce site. With it's flexibility and scalability there is very little you can't get Magento to do in an eCommerce environment. Granted, the CMS options could be and perhaps should be a bit more flexible compared to the rest, but they do the trick. There only one thing Magento can't do and that is blog.
Where Magento is becoming the dominant software for eCommerce websites, is WordPress already …
Adding your logo to Magento is probably one of the easiest procedures there are. You will need to have your own logo, whether its a .GIF, .JPG or .PNG. We will recommend you use a .PNG as its transparency works great for the web. All you will need to do is overwrite the current logo (if your using a .GIF image) in 'skin/frontend/default/images/logo.gif'. If you are What do we have for you? Well, plenty of games …

Many people wonder how you go by adding additional links to your Category menu items on Magento. This is another straight forward tutorial and will break it down for you to make it as simple as possible.
To get started you will need to locate and open "app/design/frontend/default/<yourtheme>/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml" file. Once opened, scroll down and you will see something that sort of look like this:

<a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl("")?>">
<?php echo $this->__("Homepage") ?>

<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as casino spiele $_category): ?>
<?php echo $this->drawItem($_category) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
As you can see the …
Another major question people ask is how to add a Category Products on the homepage. This again, is a very simple task and I will once again explain how it all works.
When you purchase one of our themes you will see a folder name called "code" and inside that folder a file called "homepage_code.txt" this can by the way be ignored if you aren't actually using one of our themes.
This piece of coding is what should be added in your "Content" area by going to CMS > Manage Pages > …
I have already talked about flexible architecture of Magento Commerce in my previous posts. As Magento allows to customize its default behavior without touching and modifying the existing code, we can override any of the existing class by defining our own in our out of the box extensions. I have also played with Magento by creating variety of extensions, and believe me, it was a real fun of programming. Magento allowed me to change everything I desired.
But I was still feeling that something is missing! And that missing thing was …
In my previous post, I had explained a way to add extra controllers to existing route. Here I am going to explain another method which is used for overriding controllers and actions. Like my each post on tips & tricks, I am going to first explain where the trick is applicable! I am considering that readers of this post are aware of MVC architecture in Magento.
Let me explain the difference between the both tricks. The trick explained in previous post is used when we need additional URLs in same route …

Misc. Comments
Volume 1 & 2 with 10 untitled movements. The style is lighter than most of this composer's other works, harking back to what might be termed period pieces. The subtitle queasy was chosen for reasons of assonance with the word quasi which points to the fact that these short pieces are not strictly speaking waltzes. The less mellifluous second volume presents pieces that occasionally require inordinately stretching one's fingers. A selection from the first volume was initially submitted (2013/1/4) in the form of a triptych, with a number of modifications (or tamperings ?), which emphasize the often aleatory character of the composer's musical discourse. Their main purpose being to serve as a possible addition to an imaginary repertory of light modern encores. However, its latest revision has prompted the composer to retitle the work : Melancholic Sonatina, to be performed as a whole.

Lecture: Victoria Chang, poetPresented by the Frank Islam Athenaeum Symposia
Monday, April 25, 11:00 a.m.Globe Hall, Germantown Campus
Chang was the recipient of the 2014 Pen Center Literary Award and 2013 California Book Award. She graduated from Harvard University and Stanford Business School and has an MFA in poetry. Books of Poetry: Circles - 2006; Salvinia Molesta - 2008; The Boss - 2015.
Literary critic James Longenbach writes that Chang's poetry is an "intersection where the personal, the global, the political, and domestic all collide in a shower of sparks. There is brutality, depravity, but there is great beauty as well - the kind that endures and has lasting power."
College students today are training not only for participation in the professions as we have known them, but also for a world that is increasingly complex—and cultural boundaries that are constantly shifting.
We need citizens and workers who understand other cultures, speak other languages, and move among cultural spaces with ease. We need global citizens whose ability to envision creative solutions to serious conflict is [will be] transformative.
In short, we need a model of teaching that moves from "knowing" to "deep understanding." The humanities have taught these core skills for hundreds of years through philosophy, linguistics, literature, art theory, world languages, history, and other disciplines. We can now put them to use for global benefit.
Globalizing our program will leverage the power of the humanities to help our students gain content knowledge of world cultures and issues, and to develop critical thinking skills to become more analytical thinkers and creative problem solvers.
The General Education program at Montgomery College is undergoing substantive changes to ensure that all students are supported in being as active and involved as possible in their own learning. Soon students will have the option to choose a thematic track that interests them and that they want to focus on through the majority of your courses. One of these tracks is "global connections." Get started now thinking about these global connections by enrolling in the new Global Humanities course being offered in Spring 2016.

Crews from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are planning to be in Vermont this week, assessing damage from last week's flash-flooding.
Teams are expected to visit Chittenden and Lamoille counties.
They will work with state and local officials to determine if the state has met the threshold of $1 million in damage to qualify for a Public Assistance disaster declaration.
Counties must also reach a total amount of damage based on population, in order to receive assistance.
The state formally asked FEMA on Friday afternoon to send a preliminary damage assessment team.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's tennis team got it's second player of the week honor as Jaumer Farras was recognized for his determined effort against #62 Nebraska this past Friday.
Farras gritted out a tough match in No. 5 singles to tie the match at 3-3 and send it to the doubles point. After going up 5-2 in the third set of his match against Benedikt Lindheim of Nebraska, Farras suffered a full body cramp and lost the next eight points in a row. Barely able to stand, Farras refused to default the match, and won the last game serving underhanded.
"I don't know if I've ever seen a player show more courage than Jaume did out there, 90 percent of players would have defaulted the match." said Director of Tennis Steve Moore.
It is the first award for Farras this season and the second time an Islander has received the honor. Laurent Montoisy was named SLC Player of the Week for Jan. 27.
Farras and the Islanders will be back in action next on March 6 and 7 as they host the 45th Annual HEB Tennis Team Classic. Participants will include Texas Tech, BYU, New Mexico, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee, DePaul and Western Michigan.

A guide to help Christians parent their children with grace and an emphasis on the cross. How are parents to raise children so they don't become Pharisees (legalists) or prodigals (rebels)? It's all about grace-filled, gospel-driven parenting, says the mother/daughter team of Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson. Christian parents, in their desire to raise godly children, can tend toward rule-centered discipline.

Ex-Berkner football star brought down by rape case now faces Dallas murder charge
Things could have gone so much differently for Karland Bennett.
In 2004, he was a star Berkner High School linebacker headed to Brigham Young University on a football scholarship. But before he ever played a game there, Bennett and three teammates were implicated in the rape of a 17-year-old girl at an off-campus apartment.
Bennett ultimately avoided a trial on the rape charge by agreeing to a deal in which he pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
(The charges were ultimately dismissed.) According to Dallas County criminal records, that was just the beginning of a string of legal troubles for Bennett.
Now, the 25-year-old former honor roll student is in the Dallas County Jail on a capital murder charge. He's accused of abducting, robbing and shooting Louis Adam Barajas, records said.
It's hard not to wonder what could have been for Karland Bennett.

As the Social Sciences Research and Data Coordinator at Trinity College in Hartford, I work with faculty to incorporate exercises involving quantitative and qualitative data in their classes and in doing so, improve the research and analysis skills of Trinity's students.
My work with a large variety of data sets and with the students who often struggle to analyze them has made me particularly curious about how colleges and universities use the data they collect about themselves to make policy decisions. Most recently, I have been working with the Dean of Faculty's Office and our Office of Institutional Research to develop mechanisms for evaluating students' experiences at Trinity and assessing their learning outcomes. I also teach a first-year seminar in decision making and a graduate class in research methods for public policy students.

|Gender Differences: Cross Gender Communication
How can men and women have such different ideas about the same conversation?
It's a sticky subject that some organizations don't want to talk about, but it's true. Men & women communicate differently & that can cause communication challenges. Accepting this reality & learning how to work with it is an important part of doing business.
Organizations can be more productive if they leverage the differences in the way men and women communicate, rather than trying to deny these differences or work against these differences.
In this program, Judi helps your employees understand that differences can be celebrated & leveraged to enhance productivity. Using her signature style of humor & team interaction, Judi takes your employees through a series of case studies where gender differences collide. She'll show employees how to analyze differences in communication style & content and work around those differences. She'll help your employees build a better appreciation for what men & women bring to the workplace when they work cooperatively.

Woody Allen wishes to cast Michelle Obama in his film
Speaking at the talk show named 'Daybreak', Woody Allen said that if he thinks that a character fits Michelle Obama, then surely he will approach her to act in the movie.

Talking about casting Carla Bruni in Midnight in Paris, he claims that he decided to make her act in the role of a museum tour guide while having a dinner with her and the President. Meanwhile, the filmmaker is busy with his forthcoming film Honeymoon Motel.

Group seeks to open emergency shelter in Vt.
New location would be operated without prior planning
Vermont's Bennington Coalition for the Homeless is looking to open an emergency shelter to help people escape from the cold.
Executive Director Kendy Skidmore said people would be able to use the North Street location without prior planning.
The group operates other facilities in and around Bennington that provide shelter and housing for the homeless, but those locations require prior approval.
Skidmore tells the Bennington Banner her organization operated a warming shelter on Depot Street for several months last winter. The new location on North Street would provide a more permanent solution for the homeless during the winter.
Plans have been submitted to the town.

Stocks Up Sharply Today on Fiscal Cliff Deal
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 10:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 10:02 a.m.
NEW YORK | Stocks are opening sharply higher on Wall Street after lawmakers averted sweeping cuts in government spending and with a last-minute budget deal.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 232 points to 13,336 shortly after the opening bell Tuesday, the first trading day of 2013. That's a gain of 1.8 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index shot up 29 points, or 2 percent, to 1,455. The Nasdaq composite rose 82 points, or 2.7 percent, to 3,102.
Investors have been keeping a close eye on the budget stalemate in Washington and were relieved that a deal was reached. However the late-night budget agreement leaves many issues unresolved and it remained unclear how long the market rally would last. Next up is a fight over the government's borrowing limit.

Agent white can not be classified under the Agent Orange classification because of the non use of Dioxin and its other effects on the body.
Agent Orange: Effects have been established.
The Mosquito Spray is in its own right as a single claim. Claim: Financial Compensation and 100% Veteran compensation status Exposure to Agent White, Agent Orange, and Mosquito spray.
Causes of Exposure: Abnormal growth of the Thymus gland - Myasthenia Gravis an auto-immune disease – development of thyroid cancer - lupus anticoagulant disease. Non Hodgkin's lymphatic Cancer tumors – border line diabetic - Anri-Phospolipid
From July 1968 to August 1969 I was stationed at Tahkli Royal Thai Air Force Base Thailand with the 355th Tactical Fighter wing as an Aircraft Electrical Repairman, and augment Security Guard. In support of the Vietnam War.
Exposure: While on the flight line working, or during guard duty the spraying of agent white, and mosquito spray was used, all over the base including the sleeping area, then the application of Agent Orange at a later date.
The mosquito spray was banned in its use in the US in 1954 because of its effects to humans.
I was informed that they Agent Orange and white being used, and had nothing to worry about.
Defoilents: Both of these can stay dormant up to 35 years, In my case within 24 years their effects came to the surface.
Mosquito Spray effects can stay dormant for up to 40 years.
Surgery: On 01 January 1992 (Erie, PA VA Medical Center) I had the removal of 5 Tumors off my left lung that was listed as Typhomic by the military labs and Lymphatic by regular labs. (22 years after exposure)
In July 1997 I was told that 4 more tumors had grown on my left lung, and my Thymus gland was larger then usual and needed to be removed along with the tumors. (Meadville Medical Center, Meadville, Pa. Dr. Newhook)
30 Days after the surgery I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis because of the amount of T-cells found in my blood, and the symptoms I was going through. (27 years after exposure)
In October 2009 they removed many tumors off my left lung, in which one of them was located on the top of my heart and one on the lower part of my heart, and they scraped the area of where the thymus was removed in the operation of 1995. (Pittsburgh VA University Drive, Pittsburgh Pa.)
They still hold on to their pre-determined analysis as being typhomic tumors even though there is no Thymus gland. They also announced that I have Anri-Phospolipid Antibody disorder. They base this on my blood work. (This is a very rare disorder, and no one else in my family has ever shown or has this.) AKA: Lupis Anticoagulant However I have gone through five major surgeries and not once did I develop a blood clot.
Since T-cells are developed in the thymus gland could these tumors be classified as Hotchins Non-lymphatic?
HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL EXPOSURE AGENT WHITE: is the code name for a powerful herbicide and defoliant used by the U.S. military in its Herbicidal warfare program during the Vietnam War. The name comes from the white stripe painted on the barrels to identify the contents. It was one of the so-called "rainbow herbicides" that included the more infamous Agent Orange.
Agent White is a 4:1 mixture of 2,4-D and Picloram (also known as Tordon 101). Unlike the more infamous Agent Orange, Agent White did not contain dioxin, which was introduced into the other defoliants through the addition of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). However, it appears the Picloram was contaminated with hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and nitrosamines, both known carcinogens.
Around 1985, Dow Chemical was forced to re-certify Picloram after having greatly reduced the amounts of both contaminants. Hexachlorobenzene, or perchlorobenzene, is a chlorocarbon with the molecular formula C6Cl6. It is a fungicide formerly used as a seed treatment, especially on wheat to control the fungal disease bunt. It has been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants. [1] HCB is a white crystalline solid that has negligible solubility in water. It is soluble in diethyl ether, benzene, ethanol and chloroform. Its vapor pressure is 1.09×10−5 mmHg (1.45 mPa) at 20 °C. Its flash point is 242 °C and it sublimes at 322 °C. Hexachlorobenzene is an animal carcinogen and is considered to be a probable human carcinogen. After its introduction as a fungicide in 1945, for crop seeds, this toxic chemical was found in all food types. Hexachlorobenzene was banned from use in the United States in 1966.
This material has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans). Animal carcinogenicity data for hexachlorobenzene show increased incidences of liver, kidney (renal tubular tumors) and thyroid cancers Chronic oral exposure in humans has been shown to give rise to a liver disease (porphyria cutanea tarda), skin lesions with discoloration, ulceration, photosensitivity, thyroid effects, bone effects and loss of hair. Neurological changes have been reported in rodents exposed to hexachlorobenzene. Hexachlorobenzene may cause embryolethality and teratogenic effects. Human and animal studies have demonstrated that hexachlorobenzene crosses the placenta to accumulate in foetal tissues and is transferred in breast milk.
MOSQUETO SPRAY: Malathion affects the central nervous system, immune system, adrenal glands, liver, and blood." The VA has acknowledged that spraying occurred outside of Vietnam and will accept properly documented claims. Thailand veterans are winning VA appeals. Be determined, and file an appeal. This was sprayed all over the base including the sleeping and shower areas.
Agent white can not be classified under the agent orange classification because of the non use of Dioxin and its other effects on the body.
The Mosquito Spray is in its own right as a single claim, Agent white should also be treated as a different claim.
Agent Green is the code name for a powerful herbicide and defoliant used by the U.S. military in its Herbicidal Warfare program during the Vietnam War. The name comes from the green stripe painted on the barrels to identify the contents. It was one of the so-called "rainbow herbicides" that included the more infamous Agent Orange. Agent Green was only used between 1962 and 1964, during the early "testing" stages of the spraying program. Agent Green's only active ingredient was 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), one of the common phenoxy herbicides of the era. It was later learned that a dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), is produced as a side effect of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T, and was thus present in any of the herbicides that used it. Owing to Agent Green's consisting entirely of 2,4,5-T, along with the similar Agent Pink, it contained many times the level of dioxin found in Agent Orange. The fungus Fusarium oxysporum is also referred to as Agent Green. Agent Orange: Information widely available. Defoliant Exposure: Young soldiers, airman, and seaman in their late teens and early twenties seeing trucks with large tanks spraying the foliage around the base perimeter and other sensitive base areas thought nothing of the consequences
that spraying would have on their health as they watched thick foliage die in a matter of days.
It never occurred to them that the early evening fogging of mosquitoes would damage their central nervous system. Now, as veterans in middle age, they have come to realize the effects of those chemicals sprayed in their work and living areas so many years ago. Like a time bomb with a very long fuse, the effect of chemicals such as dioxins and Malathion take time to affect the human body. It takes many years for ailments such as Chloracne, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Soft tissue sarcoma, Hodgkin's Disease, Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCX), Multiple Myeloma, respiratory cancers (including cancers of the lung, larynx, trachea and bronchus), prostate cancer, peripheral neuropathy (acute or sub acute), and Type 2 Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus) to show up. This delay disguises their source, making it difficult to prove that the chemicals they were exposed to while serving this nation in the armed forces is the cause of their deteriorated health. Thymoma: Thymomas are generally slow growing tumors that are found most often in people in their 40's and 50's. They do vary in how they behave. Some grow very slowly. Others grow more quickly and can spread to the lungs or the covering of the lungs (the pleura). It is very unusual for them to spread anywhere else in the body. Like many other cancers, we don't know exactly what causes thymomas. About 4 out of 10 people diagnosed (40%) have another condition called myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. Thymoma has been linked to other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. Thymoma has also been linked to blood conditions such as pernicious anemia. Many people don't have any symptoms from their thymoma. They can be found by accident, when you are having a chest X ray for something else. If you do have symptoms, they may include difficulty swallowing, cough and tiredness.
Thymus Cancer: In medicine (oncology), thymoma is a tumor originating from the thymus. It consists of any type of thymic epithelial cell as well as lymphocytes that are usually abundant and probably not neoplastic. Thymoma usually is benign, and frequently encapsulated; when occasionally malignant, then it is invasive: metastasis is extremely rare. Malignant lymphomas that involve the thymus, e.g., lymphosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease (termed "granulomatous thymoma" in the past), should not be regarded as thymoma.

Myasthenia Gravis: The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is fatigability. Muscles become progressively weaker during periods of activity and improve after periods of rest. Muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, talking, and swallowing are especially susceptible.
The muscles that control breathing and neck and limb movements can also be affected. Often the physical examination is within normal limits. The onset of the disorder can be sudden. Often symptoms are intermittent. The diagnosis of myasthenia gravis may be delayed if the symptoms are subtle or variable. In most cases, the first noticeable symptom is weakness of the eye muscles. In others, difficulty in swallowing and slurred speech may be the first signs. The degree of muscle weakness involved in MG varies greatly among patients, ranging from a localized form, limited to eye muscles (ocular myasthenia), to a severe or generalized form in which many muscles - sometimes including those that control breathing - are affected. Symptoms, which vary in type and severity, may include asymmetrical ptosis (a drooping of one or both eyelids), diplopia (double vision) due to weakness of the muscles that control eye movements, unstable or waddling gait, weakness in arms, hands, fingers, legs, and neck, a change in facial expression, dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), shortness of breath and dysarthria (impaired speech, often nasal due to weakness of the velar muscles).
In myasthenic crisis a paralysis of the respiratory muscles occurs, necessitating assisted ventilation to sustain life. In patients whose respiratory muscles are already weak, crises may be triggered by infection, fever, an adverse reaction to medication, or emotional stress. Since the heart muscle is only regulated by the autonomic nervous system, it is generally unaffected by MG.
Lupus anticoagulant (also known as lupus antibody, LA, or lupus inhibitors) is a medical phenomenon where auto antibodies bind to phospholipids and proteins associated with the cell membrane. Since interactions between the cell membrane and clotting factors are necessary for proper functioning of the coagulation cascade, the lupus anticoagulant can interfere with blood clotting as well as in-vitro tests of clotting function. Paradoxically, lupus anticoagulants are also risk factors for thrombosis. Conceptually, lupus anticoagulants overlap with the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Lupus anticoagulants can be understood as the tendency of antiphospholipid antibodies to prolong the clotting times, especially in phospholipids rich clotting testing such as the dilute Russell's viper venom time. Often, the lupus anticoagulant is diagnosed on asymptomatic patients by a routine blood testing prior to surgery. Patients with a lupus anticoagulant are prone to thrombosis and habitual abortion (repeated miscarriages).
Blue Water Navy: Veterans who served on any U.S. military base in Thailand, you need to know these facts: The VA has granted a claim for DIRECT EXPOSURE to Agent Orange for an airman on a Thai Air Base who could prove he walked the perimeter as a guard. (this covers only agent orange and not agent white, or the mosquito spray which was used all over the base.).
I fit these criteria, plus the additional exposures of Agent White and mosquito spray, and if my claim is being held by a Regional Office for any reason which involves the Haas Ruling, my claim is ILLEGALLY being held and I have demand its release for immediate adjudication as a DIRECT EXPOSURE TO AGENT ORANGE claim. (Filed for agent orange exposure Pittsburgh VA in 1997 was rejected because of no boots down in Vietnam.
Purple Heart association filed on my behalf.) The claim was based on documentation showing that Agent Orange was used on the perimeters and fence lines of all Thailand bases. Documentation for this claim relied on the following military documents By the end of 1964, there were over 6,000 USAF personnel in Thailand; RTAF bases at Udorn, Takhli, Korat, Ubon and Don Muang all hosted USAF 3/units.- At the close of 1966, nearly 26,000 personnel and 416 USA Fair- 4/craft were based in Thai1and.- By December 1967, two more bases, Nakhon Phanom RTA~Band U-Tapao RTNAF, were added, bringing to 505 the number of 5/USAF aircraft conducting operations from Thailand.-
Then, in 1968, President Johnson ordered a halt to the bombing of North Vietnam. Subsequently, USAF forces in Thailand were gradually reduced. Operations ceased altogether at Takhli RTAFB, and by 1 April 1972 there were only 317 tactical aircraft in Thailand, including 42 B-52 bombers and 30 KC-135 aircraft at U-Tapao RTNAF. USAF personnel were also reduced significantly. (The USAF posture in Thailand between 1961 and 1970 has been chronicled 6/in several CHECO reports.- )
Any Auto-immune disorders or diseases, blood disorders and cancer tumors fall within all three chemicals. Additionally skin disorders, and diabetes. More being investigated. In February of 1997 I filed through the VA for compensation for exposure to Agent Orange. It was rejected due to the fact that I did not serve in Vietnam. Agent white can not be classified under the agent orange classification because of the non use of Dioxin and its other effects on the body. The Mosquito Spray is in its own right as a single claim, Agent white should also be treated as a different claim. In October 1997 I filed for compensation for exposure to Agent Orange, because they would not want to talk about Agent White, because I was diagnosed as being exposed to herbicides. It was rejected due to the fact that I did not serve in Vietnam. In August 2009 the VA Hospital at, University Drive, Pittsburgh, Pa, I again asked to file for compensation. I was informed that the person that does the filing would not do so because I did not have boots down in Vietnam. Therefore he would not waste his time to file the paperwork. I brought it to his attention about other Vets
who served in Thailand who have received compensation and was informed that was done before the VA shut the program down. In August I asked our local county VA office to help file for compensation. I was handed a VA document stating that Agent Orange was only used in Thailand between 1964 and 1965 and thus my application would not be processed. Their assumption and notice was correct but not complete. I have enclosed additional government information that was not released or total ignored by the VA. Which shows that the use of agent orange and agent white was used from 1964 through 1972 in Thailand. So the neglect of giving all the facts are evident and another way to make sure no one gets compensated for their duty to their country. I contacted Senator Robert Casey Democrat of Pennsylvania in the same month and year and his staff helped in filing the forms, after giving them all the pertinent information, facts and documentation. I also wonder how many documents was destroyed show the spraying of those bases that were launch bases for the defoliants.
Page 15: F. Thailand Tests 1964 – 1965: "A test program was conducted in Thailand 1964 and 1965 to determine the effectiveness of aerial applications of Purple, Orange, and other candidate chemical agents in defoliation of upland jungle vegetation representative of Southeast Asia on duplicate 10-acre plots. Area spray treatments were applied at rates of 0.5 to 3.0 gallons per acre on two test sites representing tropical dry evergreen forest and secondary forest and shrub vegetation. Applications were repeated in alternate 2- to 3-month periods to determine minimal effective rates and proper season of application."23 Additionally, the well documented work of Paul Frederick Cecil identifies sorties flown from four Thai Air Bases by Ranch Hand aircraft against targets in Laos. The author excerpts include Ranch Hand sorties flown against Laos from NKP and Takhli in 1966, Ranch Hand C-123s often visiting Clark AB, Philippines, mission sorties against Laos in November 1968 from Udorn, from Ubon in January 1969, and again from Udorn in August 1969, permission was given to use herbicides on base perimeters in Thailand with Embassy permission in 1969, aircraft were flown to CCK, Taiwan for maintenance (1966 - 1970) and Kadena AB, Okinawa in 1970 for corrosion control caused by insecticides. As the mission in Vietnam wound down (circa 1972) due to the negotiated peace treaty, supplies of herbicides became available for defoliation of UTapao and Korat in June 1972.
4 and 5 Page 87: The Chapter "Flight To Squadron: More Planes, More Hits, More Problems" identifies that in 1966, after five years in Vietnam, "In February the Laos defoliation project spread north of the 17th parallel, to expose segments of the infiltration route along the North Vietnam/Laotian border. Some
sorties on the northern sections of the trail were flown out of American bases at Nakon Phenom and Takhli, Thailand, with the concurrence of the Thai and Laotian governments." The Joint Chiefs asked for continuing authority to spray base perimeters with herbicides blue and white. On April 28, 1971 Ambassador Bunker concurred with this request, noting that there was no satisfactory substitute for herbicides on base perimeters seeded with mines and trip flares." The "Corona Harvest" Special Report confirms lagging documentation of changing authorities for use of herbicides on August 23, 1968. 6 The preceding information confirms the use of herbicides on base perimeters without an expiration date and the establishment of approval procedures documented in "The CHECO Report: Base Defense in Thailand", February 13, 1973.7 This same authority and approval procedures are evidenced in the request for herbicides after sapper attacks at four bases in Thailand between 1968 and 1972. The need for the use of herbicides is evident also. References: 1. "Operation Ranch Hand: The Air Force and Herbicides in Southeast Asia, 1961 - 1971" 1982, by William A.

BY THE WAY THE VA CLASSIFY THAT AGENT WHITE IS ALSO AGENT GREEN. Again the VA twists the truth to fill their own agenda.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 21yrsUSCGUSCS,

I too have MG and was stationed in Tainan Air Base, Tainan, Taiwan from 1973 - 1975. I was assigned to the Hospital but would drive the ambulance every time a flight emergency was declared and when a Air Vac landed. Air America was on the base and was repairing the planes from Vietnam. Either the planes brought the Agent Orange on to the base or they used it locally.
I believe I was exposed at that time.
My MG was diagnosed in Nov 1993 and I spent 87 days in the Dallas VA Hospital recovering from crashing with the disease.
I have filed for disability with the VA but was denied in 2005.
MG is not an AO presumptive, and I do not believe that there would have been substantial exposure from planes that flew several hours at 20,000 feet.
On bases outside of Vietnam, if used, it was used on the perimeter and only those applying or guarding the perimeter would have been exposed.
With MG not on the AO list, and unproven exposure, you will not win a VA claim.

I was certified as beibg exposed to AO, and in accordance with the VA codes fr compensation:
8025 Myasthenia gravis:
Minimum rating ………………………………………………………….. 30
Note: It is required for the minimum ratings for residuals under diagnostic codes 8000-8025, that there be ascertainable residuals. Determinations as to the presence of residuals not capable of objective verification, i.e., headaches, dizziness, fatigability, must be approached on the basis of the diagnosis recorded; subjective residuals will be accepted when consistent with the disease and not more likely attributable to other disease or no disease. It is of exceptional importance that when ratings in excess of the prescribed minimum ratings are assigned, the diagnostic codes utilized as bases of evaluation be cited, in addition to the codes identifying the diagnoses.
If you had tumors and are classified as being Lymphatic then your at 100%
I had to do all the filing because the county VA Rep, and The VA Hospital Rep told me that no boots down in Vietnam you will not be accepted. Well under the Blue Navy Act Tailand, Cambodia, Laos, and waterways of Vietnam are being accepted. I have helped five Thailand Vets who were exposed and have MG get disability.
FYI: They also sprayed AO in Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Korea, Phillipiens, etc.
By the way Hel;icopter, and aircraft sprayed and if they did it at over 10,000 ft. it would be ineffective, look more at 200 feet maximum. They mixed AO with jet engine fuel (Benzen which also a cancer producing agent.
Dr. Robert D. Kilgallon Presently 60% rated going to increase to 100%

No Blue Water Navy Act has ever passed Congress granting AO presumption. The most recent bill pending is the Agent Orange Equity Act.
I know they sprayed AO elsewhere, but to be listed as exposed you need to have been where they sprayed.
Also, MG is not listed as a presumptive. Before my post I read about a 1/2 dozen AO MG cases, and in no case did the BVA grant AO presumptive for MG.
Also, there are few cases where they granted AO exposure outside of Vietnam. I do not know how you are winning as the rules and law are against the claims.
Myasthenia Gravis is a VA presumptive disease for GULF WAR VETS, not for Vietnam Veterans, unless you were at Fort McMellan when they sprayed, or another place where they sprayed, you will not win your claim.

I am not classified as being exposed to AO and AW. I do not have MG that was caused by exposure to AO.
I guess you all work for the VA. and like many others they treat the veterans like mushrooms. keep them in the dark and feed them Bull S>!
Flight line personnel are being considered because of their work on the edge of the flight line.
^^My comments were not directed towards you.. Read for comprehension.
Myasthenia Gravis is a neurological autoimmune disorder. There is NO evidence that Agent Orange or toxic chemical cause MG. However exposure to chemical agents has been known to cause periodic paralysis or severe attacks.
The VA bureaucratizes are not the conspiratorial bad guys that many vets insist they are, which does NOT mean they're always right. For the record I do not work for the VA.
Pipe is a retired Army neurologist. I do not work for any government agency, and have not in over 30 years.
I can only tell you what the rules and law says. MG is not presumed for AO exposure, and the poster we were discussing was in Taiwan, not Thailand. I know about perimeter spraying.
And posting on the same topic with two handles is a no no. It is confusing and will not be tolerated. Pick one and use it.
Pipe and I, along with Dave Barker (an AO expert) run this and several other portions of military.com on our limited free time.
I support Pipe on her above statement 100% totally and completely. Also to let you know up front, I have worked on herbicide issues since 1977, thus I am not a novice. My credentials are open to examination and easy to verify. I am not employed by the VA, I am an employee of a veterans organization as an accredited representative and attorney-in-fact with 33 and 1/2 years serving my fellow veterans
These discussion boards are not debate boards. We discuss issues and attempt to assist veterans in their claims and guide them to proper treatment. Attacking fellow members is not permitted by our terms of service, be they VA employees or not.
Myasthenia Gravis is not a presumptive unless it is diagnosed within one year from separation from active service.
Here is a link to my book. Feel free to contact me through my website and I will discuss these issues with you.
