All coaches, parents and supporters need to be aware that our Saturday morning referees are all learning and do not need people yelling and making disparaging comments to them. We at CHBA follow the zero tolerance stance.
From all reports, the referees didn't take the upsetting comments made on board, however, they were still out of line and uncalled for.
Junior referees are going to miss things, however, they all do their best.
Please refrain from making abusive comments to the referees and make sure you encourage the children and players to do their 3 cheers for the referees regardless of your feelings towards them. We are here for fun, not sheep stations.
If you feel that there is something we can do better in teaching our junior referees, please feel free to contact our office or our court supervisor to discuss this. We are always open to assistance, just not abuse.more

Severely injured patients have been observed to acutely develop ascites; however, the pathogenesis of this rare phenomenon is poorly understood.
To report the factors common among severely injured patients developing ascites and to formulate a hypothesis regarding its origin.
Retrospective review of case series.
We identified 9 injured patients between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 1998, who acutely developed significant amounts of ascites. The mean ± SD estimated ascites volume was 2.0 ± 0.8 L. All 9 patients had severe shock and were mechanically ventilated before abdominal decompression for the abdominal compartment syndrome. The mean ± SD peak inspiratory pressure was 39.0 ± 5.8 cm H2O. The mean ± SD volumes of crystalloid and blood product infusion before decompression were 16.1 ± 10.2 L and 5.2 ± 4.8 L, respectively, in a mean ± SD of 17 ± 15 hours. In comparison, the mean ± SD volumes of crystalloid and blood product transfusion among 100 contemporary, randomly selected patients undergoing trauma laparotomy were 5.1 ± 5.5 L and 1.1 ± 2.5 L, respectively (P<.001). Eight patients had only extra-abdominal injuries, while 1 patient had a combination of extra- and intra-abdominal injuries. Two patients were found to be cirrhotic by liver biopsy, but the other 7 patients had no known preexisting hepatic disease. Eight patients had absorbable mesh temporary abdominal closure, and 1 patient had primary fascial closure. There was persistent ascitic drainage in 5 patients; however, in all but 1 patient with cirrhosis, the drainage did not persist beyond 3 days. Two patients died, 1 of sepsis and the other of a closed head injury.
Common denominators of posttraumatic ascites include shock, massive fluid resuscitation, and elevated intrathoracic pressure. The rapid onset of ascites in the setting of elevated intrathoracic pressure suggests that the patient's ability to clear ascitic fluid is overwhelmed.
IN SEVERELY injured patients, the development of generalized edema, including visceral edema, is a well-recognized phenomenon. When hemorrhage is controlled and as blood products and crystalloid are being transfused to restore perfusion, a remarkable phase of accumulation of edema in the interstitial space commences.1 The development of ascites following trauma resuscitations is a clinical phenomenon not as well described. Eldor and colleagues2 documented ascites in a 12-year-old girl following bilateral femur fracture fixation during which 15 L of crystalloid was used for resuscitation. Markert et al3 reported 3 cases of subcapsular liver hematoma causing hepatic outflow obstruction and consequent ascites. Three case series4- 6 involving 20 patients have described the phenomenon of secondary abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), in which resuscitated trauma patients develop massive bowel edema with or without ascites. Our goal in this article was to describe the clinical characteristics of 9 severely injured patients who acutely developed ascites during resuscitation from shock. Furthermore, we sought to understand the physiological reasons for the rapid onset of the ascites and its association with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH).
A retrospective review of all patients who underwent a decompressive laparotomy for primary or secondary ACS between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 1998, at our level I trauma center was performed. Our objective was to identify cases in which acute onset of ascites was clinically apparent or significant. Operative reports were reviewed for specific mention of ascites and the presence or absence of visceral edema, retroperitoneal edema or hematoma, and hepatic cirrhosis. We tried to ascertain the volume of ascites discovered in each case by looking for a specific measurement recorded by collection of the fluid in a suction canister or by a gross estimate of the surgeon. Further information obtained from the medical record and the trauma registry database included age, sex, trauma type, injury types and locations, presence or absence of shock, time interval from injury to abdominal decompression, crystalloid volume infusion, blood product transfusion data, presence of preexisting hepatic disease, Injury Severity Score, and Abdominal Trauma Index.7
Ascites was defined as the presence of significant amounts of intraperitoneal serous fluid. Serosanguinous fluid or cloudy fluid was also allowed. Intra-abdominal hypertension was defined as a clinically evident tight or tense abdomen or a urinary bladder pressure of 25 mm Hg or 30 cm H2O or urine.8 Abdominal compartment syndrome was defined as 1 or more signs of organ failure in the setting of IAH in which abdominal decompression resulted in clinical improvement.8 Shock was defined as clinically evident poor perfusion, systemic acidosis, or persistent hypotension. Measurements of urinary bladder pressure, systolic blood pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, central venous pressure, and pH were obtained before and after decompression, if available, and compared by means of the paired samples t test. Mortality was defined as death during admission or within 30 days. The results are presented as mean ± SD.
To compare the volumes of crystalloid and blood product transfusion in patients who developed significant ascites with the volumes used in the more typical patient with a trauma laparotomy, we randomly selected 100 contemporary patients from our trauma registry who had a trauma laparotomy. Using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, the mean volumes of crystalloid and blood product transfusion before laparotomy were compared with those of the patients who developed ascites. This test was chosen because of the small number of patients in the ascites group.
The policy on our trauma service during this period was to aggressively resuscitate patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of shock with successive liters of crystalloid and to use blood products to obtain a goal hematocrit of 30% and normal coagulation factors. We routinely used 5 to 10 cm of positive end-expiratory pressure in patients on mechanical ventilation.
There were 9 patients in whom ascites was found at laparotomy for abdominal decompression. There were 6 men and 3 women, with a mean age of 47 years (range, 20-57 years). The cause of injury was motor vehicle crash (4 patients), pedestrian struck by an automobile (2 patients), motorcycle crash (1 patient), and extra-abdominal gunshot wound (2 patients). The mean Injury Severity Score was 24.0 ± 8.5, and the mean Abdominal Trauma Index was 6.0 ± 9.9. Injuries included extremity fractures in 6 patients, head injury in 4, rib fractures in 4, pelvic fracture in 2, chest gunshot in 1, shoulder gunshot in 1, and small-bowel mesentery tear in 1. The single patient with intra-abdominal injury had a small-bowel resection for a lacerated mesentery shortly after the injury. He developed postoperative ACS 55 hours later, with clear ascites and intact anastomotic staple lines found on reopening of his fascial closure. This was the only patient who developed ascites following a laparotomy; the other 8 patients had not had a previous trauma laparotomy. All 9 patients had clinical or laboratory evidence of shock and were mechanically ventilated.
Six patients had abdominal decompression in the operating room and 3 patients had abdominal decompression in the intensive care unit. One of these had an unsuccessful attempt at percutaneous drainage of ascites with a diagnostic peritoneal lavage kit before laparotomy. The surgeon (J.C.M.) suspected significant amounts of ascites and was trying to avoid laparotomy. Although this patient had elevated urinary bladder pressure, the ascites would not drain through the tubing. The mean time from injury to abdominal decompression was 17 ± 15 hours (range, 4-44 hours). All 9 patients had immediate improvement in pulmonary or cardiovascular factors following decompression (Table 1). The mean volumes of crystalloid and blood product transfusion before decompression were 16.1 ± 10.2 L (range, 6.2-37.0 L) and 5.2 ± 4.8 L (range, 0.4-17.4 L), respectively. In comparison, the mean volumes of crystalloid and blood product resuscitation of the 100 contemporary, randomly selected trauma patients who had laparotomy at our center but who did not have ascites were 5.1 ± 5.5 L (range, 0.2-44.0 L) and 1.1 ± 2.5 L (range, 0-15.8 L), respectively (P<.001 for both).
The mean volume of estimated ascites was 2.0 ± 0.8 L (Table 2). In 6 patients, the ascites was described as "serous" or "clear," in 2 patients the ascites was "cloudy" or "slightly cloudy," and in 1 patient it was "blood-tinged." Six patients had visceral edema and 2 did not, while in 1 patient who had 3.0 L of ascites, there was no mention of the presence or absence of visceral edema. Two of the patients with visceral edema also had retroperitoneal edema or hematoma. The 2 patients without visceral edema were the same 2 patients who had cirrhotic-appearing livers and were proven by biopsy to have preexisting hepatic cirrhosis secondary to alcohol abuse. The remaining 7 patients had no known history of preexisting hepatic disease and had noncirrhotic-appearing livers on exploration. The mean volume of crystalloid resuscitation in the 7 noncirrhotic patients was 18.6 ± 11.2 L and in the 2 cirrhotic patients was 7.6 ± 2.0 L (P = .8, Wilcoxon rank sum test).
Eight patients had absorbable mesh placed because further ascites or edema formation was expected or because their abdomens were too tight to close. There was persistent ascitic drainage following absorbable mesh closure in 5 patients. In all but 1 patient with hepatic cirrhosis, the drainage did not persist beyond 3 days. This patient ultimately died of sepsis and pulmonary failure (see end of the "Results" section). The 6 patients with absorbable mesh closure who survived required a mean of 3 operations for ultimate abdominal wall closure in a mean of 10 days. Three patients had secondary fascial closure, and 3 required elevation of skin and subcutaneous skin flaps over an abdominal wall defect.9
One of the patients with cirrhosis had a primary fascial closure following her decompressive laparotomy. This patient was a pedestrian struck by an automobile and had extremity and rib fractures. She was initially hypotensive and received 2.0 L of crystalloid in the emergency department. An initial abdominal computed tomographic scan showed a small amount of fluid in her pelvis. She had an extensive extremity operation during which she received 4.0 L of crystalloid and 1.0 U of blood. She was initially extubated but developed hypotension and respiratory distress and was noted to have a tensely distended abdomen. She received another 2.0 L of crystalloid before abdominal decompression in which 2.0 L of ascites and a cirrhotic liver were found. The surgeon removed the ascites, closed the fascia, and allowed the patient to be extubated immediately after surgery. She had no further abdominal complications.
Two patients died; the causes of death were pulmonary failure and sepsis (1 patient) and severe closed head injury (1 patient). The patient who died of pulmonary failure and sepsis had preexisting hepatic cirrhosis and persistent ascitic drainage after decompression until the time of death 6 weeks following the injury.
These 9 patients represent a distinct subset of the population of severely injured patients. They are unusual because they experienced the rapid onset of ascites during their initial resuscitation and because most had injuries remote from their abdomen. The clinical courses of these patients are similar to what other clinicians have described. Investigators have observed that severe hemorrhagic shock was the basic factor setting the stage for this scenario and emphasized the presence of an ischemia-reperfusion injury as the primary cause.4- 6 Eldor et al2 concluded that ascites developed because of "overtransfusion." Therefore, some investigators ascribe the ascites to the need for aggressive resuscitation of hypovolemia, while 1 author suggests that the ascites is a complication of overaggressive resuscitation. In our patients, the onset of ascites was associated with the presence of shock and the infusion of extraordinarily large volumes of balanced electrolyte solutions and blood products. We believe that the profound nature of these patients' shock required such aggressive fluid resuscitation; however, we remain open to the possibility that a more directed resuscitation with slower infusion rates may be a method for avoiding this scenario.
The mechanism of ascites formation has been extensively studied.10- 13 In patients with cirrhosis of the liver, intrahepatic fibrosis leads to the obstruction of blood flowing into the hepatic veins and to hepatic sinusoidal hypertension. The basement membrane of the hepatic sinusoids is highly permeable; thus, fluid can be forced into the interstitium of the liver and across the hepatic capsule to form ascites. However, most patients in this series did not have cirrhosis. Human and animal investigations indicate that, in addition to the liver, edematous bowel may be a source of ascites in these patients. Interstitial edema in patients resuscitated from shock results from the sequestration of fluid in the interstitial space of injured and noninjured tissue.1 The liters of crystalloid infused into the patient dilute the plasma protein concentrations, and the resultant fall in intravascular oncotic pressure drives water into the interstitium. Visceral ischemia and reperfusion injury with resultant edema have an additive effect.4 It is not unreasonable, therefore, to expect that a portion of this accumulating edema fluid could travel across the peritoneal surface of the liver and the bowel. This possibility is supported by animal studies14,15 in which the combination of splanchnic venous congestion produced by portal vein ligation and hypoproteinemia produced by plasmapheresis readily produces ascites. Zarins et al16 produced massive ascites in baboons by reducing the plasma oncotic pressure by 76% by plasmapheresis alone.
An additional factor that may have contributed to the rapid onset of ascites in these patients is that they were intubated with positive pressure ventilation and had elevated intrathoracic pressure. Elevated intrathoracic pressure could have several physiological effects.17 An increase in the right atrial pressure could be transmitted retrograde and could increase pressure in the hepatic sinusoids. Increased hepatic hydrostatic pressure from occlusion of the vena cava above the liver readily produces ascites in dogs.15 The decreased oncotic pressure in the sinusoids from the crystalloid resuscitation, combined with increased hydrostatic pressure, would readily favor ascites formation. Elevated intrathoracic pressure could also impede the return of visceral lymphatic fluid via thoracic pathways to the thoracic duct16,18 and the migration of ascites through tiny diaphragmatic fenestrae into the pleural space.10 The rapid onset of ascites in some severely injured patients may thus overwhelm the normal mechanisms for clearance of intraperitoneal fluid.
Optimal management of the patient with posttraumatic ascites is not clear. In this series, ascites was associated with the development of ACS, but because most of the patients also had bowel edema, the exact contribution that the ascites made to the IAH is uncertain. Although in this series the ACS was treated by decompressive laparotomy, an attempt at decompression of the ascitic fluid using a peritoneal catheter is an attractive concept.2,19 Unfortunately, our single attempt at percutaneous drainage was unsuccessful. Another temporary measure for reducing IAP is pharmacologic paralysis to relax the abdominal musculature.20 Decompressive laparotomy is effective at relieving IAH but commits the patient to a series of abdominal operations to achieve definitive closure. Following decompression, temporary abdominal closure with polyglycolic acid mesh (Dexon; Davis and Geck, Inc, Danbury, Conn) was our treatment of choice. In most patients, persistent ascitic drainage through the mesh was only a temporary problem.
In 1 patient with cirrhosis, however, persistent fluid migration through the mesh was problematic, preventing definitive abdominal wall closure and probably contributing to his death. The other patient with cirrhosis had a successful primary fascial closure following her decompression. Two factors likely contributed to the success of her primary fascial closure: her rapid recovery from only mild shock and her immediate postoperative extubation. The normalization of intrathoracic pressure promoted by the removal of positive pressure ventilation and the lack of necessity of further fluid resuscitation in this patient decreased the impetus for ascites reaccumulation. We conclude that open abdomen management of cirrhotic patients can carry a high mortality and that the optimal management is unclear.
Common denominators in the development of posttraumatic ascites include shock, massive fluid resuscitation, and high-pressure mechanical ventilation. Edematous liver and bowel associated with the massive resuscitation are likely origins of the fluid. Increased intrathoracic pressure associated with mechanical ventilation impedes ascitic clearance into the thoracic cavity. Hepatic cirrhosis is not necessary for the development of this phenomenon. Surgeons should recognize that even in the absence of abdominal injury, if blood loss and shock are severe and massive resuscitation is required to restore hemodynamic stability, the patient is at risk of developing a potentially lethal complication within the abdomen. Although further research may reveal methods for more directed fluid resuscitation, monitoring these patients for signs of IAH is prudent so that timely decompression of the ascites can be accomplished. If the IAH is relieved and the sequence of events that led to the shock are reversed, recovery can be expected.

A letter in the June 1, 2010, Tomahawk Leader
Dear Editor,
OK, I couldn't keep quiet for even a month. At the risk of being branded non-forward thinking I almost have to weigh in on one of the biggest local government boondoggles that was recently announced in your paper. I'm shocked a publisher who consistently rails against an out of touch bureaucracy wouldn't take this issue on. I know our state legislators hunch their shoulders and shake their head and act like it's not our money they are spending so we shouldn't be concerned.
It certainly is nice the state and federal government think we need a longer runway at the Tomahawk Airport so I and the other one person that needs it, can take off with our private jets with a full load of fuel. How much extra fuel would we have to buy to justify the $742,500 cost of the project? It's nice the commercial traveling public is willing to pay the taxes to increase the length of the Tomahawk Airport runway. While the public is paying the fees at commercial airports, I get to land and take off my plane without any user charges. I know we charge users for water and sewer and kids to use the ball fields, play hockey, figure skate, and participate in summer recreation. I'm told charging plane owners a user fee will close the airport? Seems pretty consistent to me! The average cost of operating a business jet is $2,153 per hour, wouldn't you think those owners could afford landing fees?
While I commend the FOTA group for paying the local share of the project I wonder about the long-term funding of maintaining the airport. The airport group has not felt the need to live within its maintenance budget the last few years, I can only wonder what will happen with 10% more runway to maintain? With state imposed property tax caps constraining local government and the requirement to maintain the airport for 20 more years, I can only wonder what other local government program will be cut or scaled back to fund the airport.
In the same paper was another announcement of over $300,000 being spent on a fuel system for the Merrill Airport. Same funding source, same issues. I'm wondering if it makes sense to lay off 3 or 4 city employees and then spend that kind of money on a fuel system that serves how many residents?
A few months ago the Central Wisconsin Airport board talked about building a new terminal in a different location, why? Because there is money available from the state and federal government. Maybe all these airport projects should be financed by the local governments that operate them, that may be a better indicator of needs, versus "what would be nice."
In my opinion our legislators and governor need to take a good look at this state bureaucracy. It seems a little inconsistent for the state to say hold the line on property taxes while another set of state employees is telling local governments to do these projects which will result in increased long-term future costs.

Dr Clarke is my favorite Dr of all time. He is easy to talk to, always ready to listen and help. I love this Dr and hope he never retires!! His wife and staff are wonderful, too.
As a physician, Dr. Clarke is fine. I also give kudos to his phlebotomist. However, the wait and his female P.A. are terrible. Nurse Bertha ignored important papers that were sent over by my insurance company regarding my diabetes. The female P.A. was rude, pushy and incompetent. Dr. Clarke needs to coach his employees on how to attend patients and the importance of timely form completion.
Terrible office. I waited 3 hours to see a doctor. The front desk is impersonal and rude. The diagnosis incorrect. I asked for my money back after being in a room for another hour. Then they brought in a doctor. He was so.....busy he acted as though I was a incovience. I would of been better off at Care Now WHICH IS WHERE I SHOULD OF GONE. I was a patient of Dr. Clarke years ago and this is why I went there. I WILL NEVER RECOMEND THIS GROUP
Sommetimes the wait is quick, other times I've been up there for 2 hours or more. My only other complaint is all of the money we've had to deposit. That money "is waiting to be paid back by insurance" but has been a MAJOR hassle to get this money back (and we are talking $500 ). Besides that my experience has been good.
I have medicaid so this is one of the few offices in my area that take my "insurance". I have seen this doctor at least three times and I never have a real remedy for my complaints, other than a bunch of useless referrals to other doctors that don't accept my "insurance". Staff does nothing to help you find a specialists because ,as the doctor stated, "we are not goint to make all those calls". The nurse practioner told me few lies abould my conditon not being as bad as it seems and sent me on my way with my referrals. The office also does not hold confidentiality, proper medical charting, or follow-up very highly. If you want to make sure something is included in your chart during a visit to this office you had better write it in yourself because on a following visit no one knows what the heck happened at your last appointment. If that isn't bd enough, the doctor is a bit argumentative to the point of diregarding complaints and uses profanity during the conversation. To many, he is a wonderful doctor and I must admit he really knows medicine, but what benefit is it to the patient who is seeking a remedy and you really don't receive one because the doctor doesn't seem to take you very seriously. I hate to write such an unpleasant review because I know the doctor and staff mean no harm, but some of the issues in this practice can actually cause serious harm to a patient.
Took 2 year's to find out I had a fatty liver. They filed a test I had, never called me. Took a year before I found out I had a cyst on my liver. said I had strept throat. cancel my medicine. then said it was a reaction. went back to him ,said I had strept.again and still didnt give me anything to get rid of it. went to another dr. and got medicine for the strept. I have gone to this Dr. for 30 years. they only care about the students, not the people that are sick, plus I had insurance, and they made me pay 70.00 for a year. I got screwed. they owe me money. will never go back.
Nurse Maria is extremely rude and treats patients as though they are liars and unimportant.
LOVE, LOVE this doctor. Staff, not so much. He has students training there and I believe that's what causes the caos. But, it tells me that he helps everyone. Best doctor I've seen in the Dallas area, can't find them like this anymore. He truly cares. I'm already worried about what I'm going to do when he retires.
Dr. Clarke has been a GOD sent/blessing to me and my son. He is the best doctor I have ever seen by. The best decision I have ever made. He cares and wants you to be healthy and not just out to get your co-pay. I will never leave him or until he leave his practice to retire. His office has always been friendly and always willing to help you. I LOVE THEM ALL. Thank you GOD for Dr. Clarke everyone in his office. Go see him you will see what I mean and not regret it.
The doctor was fairly okay, it was a bit difficult to understand him due to a language barrier. The STAFF experience is the worse- the check in wait time is terrible as their is only one person available to help. I've been to previous doctor's office with one receptionist and the wait time was much shorter. The professional attitude is lackluster. I called to get a prescription and they said they would fill it, but never did. I NEEDED my medication and relied on their work ethic to ensure I took care of my medical needs. I would advise some staff training and suggest they hire additional receptionist help- at least part time
Best doctor I've ever used. Caring compassionate man. Dr. Clarke over the last 30 years a have known him. Has personally saved the lives of two personal friends. His fast wise decisions has changed Countless lives. Including mine.
I went into this office a couple of times. While I was waiting forever in the patient room, I heard outside my door, the nurse and doctors conversation. This new patient is going to take forever, go ahead and skip this patient and come back after the next. Then Dr. Clarke didn't even pay attention to my needs. He only focused on certain things but not all of my concerns. When I came for my follow up visit he couldn't even remember what was wrong. I told him my other concerns again, but they seemed of no importance to him. He seemed like he got very distracted easily and forgot what he was doing or focusing on with me. Did not like this Dr. at all. Also I called in to talk to him on the phone with concerns about my medication, I explained my concerns, which whoever answered the phone, talked to the Dr. and came back and all she said was you need to start taking that medication right now, and kept interrupting me and wouldn't let me talk. She was VERY RUDE. Then continued on to say that I could ask my concerns on my follow up visit. I didn't feel right about taking the medication because my questions were not answered. I got an opinion from someone else that knows a lot about the medication and they told me that I definitely SHOULD NOT start taking the medication that it was a horrible choice and should go with a different brand. Was very disappointed with this practice.
I've been going to Dr. Clarke senior for almost 3 years now. I use to really enjoy the environment and the people who worked there. But here lately it has been a mess. I use to get in and out but now you better put your whole day towards an office visit. you will be there atleast 2-2 1/2 hours then another 2-6 hours waiting for them to call in your prescriptions sometimes the next day! Dr. Clarke has become a very rude man unlike the doctor I use to know. I had alot of respect for Mrs. Hornsby until the end before she left. I honestly do not blame her. I would not work in that environment. Maria can be extremely rude and Bertha is usually very sweet and understanding but again here lately shes becoming overwhelmed also. They were like family there. I do hope to see them change but either way I am going to another doctor. I am tired of being upset everytime I deal with them now. I am sorry, I do hope you guys at Broadway medical center understand there are alot of your patients that feel upset about the practice lately. I have spoke with several patients who feel the same way I do. I do wish the best...Good Luck....
I've been seeing Dr. Clarke for quite a few years. But now that I'm older and I have ALOT of problems. He is a great man but I don't think that he really understands ALL of the trouble that I have with my diseases. I am glad that Patricia Hornsby is gone. She had the nerve to tell me on a friday of a 3 day weekend that I was having LIVER FAILURE without running any sort of test on me. Well needless to say, everytime I'd go I'd tell them anyone but her. So I think with all of my problems, I really need to see an Internal Medicine. I really like Dr. Clarke, Maria & Bertha.
Dr. Clarke is nice enough, but Maria his nurse, is very rude and hateful. She also has a stong accent and confuses easily and doesn't know what is going on. I will never go back because of Maria.
Dr.Clarke is truly a one of a kind doctor, I think Doctors like him are almost extinct! I have no insurance and he made my visits affordable, when I have no money for my meds he gives me enough samples to get me through.He goes above and beyond to help me and let's face it, He has saved my life! I hope and pray that other doctors follow his lead, his son has learned from one of the best. His son delivered both my children and also went above and beyond to help me. The staff is wonderful, Sammy always gets me in right away and is so nice and Lisa is always so curteous and sweet. Bertha always listens to my needs and keeps Dr.Clarke up to date on my progress. I met Dr. Hornsby for the first time the other week when Dr. Clarke was out and she was wonderful too. I feel just like family and know that I chose the right family to take care of mine. Thank you Clarke Family and Staff too!!
A very Good doctor and Dr Hornsby is also very good caring and will spend as much time as needed and will help you with samples if cant affords medicine and also very professional ,caring bedside manner i would not ever change doctors I have always had really good office visits and if i have question both doctors will talk to me and explain to me until i understand everything and am comfortable about my visit !!! awsome doctors !!

"We from the NYC Anarchist Bookfair would like to apologize regarding the workshop "What is gender? Understanding Gender Theory, Patriarchal Systems and Political Social Economic Impact" with Priya Reddy, Fran Luck and Rosita Libre de Maru. We were not informed about the problematic content of the presentation until right before the Bookfair. As the collective is run entirely by volunteers we were unable to do due diligence in researching the positions of each presenter. This is not a justification. Just some context.
The participant roster was changed last minute by the panel organizer. The collective was not aware of the presenters transphobic politics until the day before our event. When we realized who the participants were the collective decided against allowing the presentation but were unable to enforce the rule as it was already so late in our planning. We consider what happened to be a really serious violation of our collective politic and we are implementing new strategies so that this can not happen again. To help ensure this, we are looking for and reaching out to more anarchist LGBTQ members to collaborate with in building our next book fair and to make sure problems like this do not repeat themselves. Thank you for your decade of support
ABF Collective.

Hi all
I am trying to create a boot loader that fetches an image over network
(FTP). The boot loader should preferably be configured from within the
My target is effectively a pentium PC with a flah disk for HDD. It
runs DOS, so I boot VxWorks using VxBoot. This has worked for ages
with older version of VxWorks.
I can create (i.e., configure, build, and transfer) a boot loader, but
on execution it hangs after having output 4, 6, or 8 dots on the
target's screen - there is no subsequent activity on either screen or
serial console as I would expect on succesful execution.
What I do:
* Create a new VxWorks Image project with the PROFILE_BOOTAPP profile
* Configure the boot loader to include vxBus Timer Support, PCI Bus
legacy Auto Configuration Routines (needed to avoid errors on build),
support for AMD NIC, and sometimes PC console
* Build the boot loader "vxWorks_romComress" on my host PC.
* Make a binary of the build result for transferral to target using
the post build rule "objcopypentium -O binary [--gap-fill=0] [--binary-
without-bss] vxWorks_romCompress bootrom.bin". Bracketed pieces
optional, the result is the same.
* Transfer the binary bootrom.bin to target by means of 3.5" disk and
Nike network
* Boot target.
What happens:
I get the usual screen output:
"VxLoad version 1.1 (c) Wind River Systems 1993
Loading VxWorks
then execution hangs. No activity on serial port or target's screen as
expected dep. on inclusion of PC console.
Does anyone have suggestions as to the error and/or the solution?

Bronchiolitis is one of the most common causes of hospitalization for children during the first year of life.1 I often hear the statement, usually said in jest by hospital administrators, that if it were not for bronchiolitis, we would not need about 25% of the beds in our children's hospitals during the winter months.
In this issue of Archives, there is yet another article on the treatment of acute bronchiolitis, this time using helium-oxygen mixtures.2 It is a good article, with strong methods and positive results, and we are proud to publish it. However, the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine has published many such articles on the treatment of bronchiolitis and respiratory syncytial virus infections (eg, use of inhaled nitric oxide,3 3% hypertonic saline with epinephrine,4 and epinephrine vs albuterol5) and reviews on the diagnosis6 and treatment7 of this disorder. Usually when there are so many different treatments suggested for a disorder, none is entirely efficacious, which accounts for the frequent hospitalizations and sometimes long lengths of hospital stay for children with these infections. This is certainly the case for respiratory syncytial virus infections and bronchiolitis.

|From Seed To Table (FStT)
|Written by Administrator

Quick Links>>> What is UA? | City pages | Publications | CFF Porgramme | FstT Programme Outputs
MDP RUAF launched the From Seed to Table (FStT) Program in January 2009 funded by the Government of the Netherlands, with substantial contributions from the regional and local RUAF partners. FSTT is a successor program of Cities Feeding for Future (CFF) which was ran from January 2005 to December 2008. The RUAF FSTT programme builds on the results of the RUAF (CFF).
The broad objective of the FSTT program is to consolidate the processes of multi-stakeholder policy making and strategic planning on urban agriculture initiated during the ongoing RUAF-CFF program, and to enhance the institutional capacities of participating urban producer groups/organizations, in order to facilitate the development of more sustainable urban farming systems, urban poverty alleviation, enhanced urban food security, social inclusion and empowerment of disadvantaged groups and enhanced recycling of urban organic wastes. The project is being implemented iglobally in 21 cities. In Eastern and Southern Africa, the program is being implemented in Cape Town (South Africa); Ndola (Zambia); and Bulawayo (Zimbabwe).
Components of FSTT
The FSTT project has several components. These include:
The implementation of the project involves two local actors at the local level. The NGO FStT form the local team which oversees the implementation of the innovation project whilst the NGO MSF facilitates the activities of the Multi-stakeholder Forum (MSF) in close collaboration with the local authority. The regional coaches provide some back stopping to the local teams as they implement the project.
FSTT Innovation Project
The innovation project seeks to introduce some market oriented UA products in the pilot cities. The project works with 100 farmers in each city, who work with the local team and the coach to carry out a market survey which will ultimately lead to the selection of the option that will be implemented by the farmers. The project involves several capacity building activities at regional and local levels. A first regional workshop was held in Bulawayo in February following a global workshop in the Netherlands. This workshop was for the local teams from the participating cities in each region. The objective of the workshop was to train the local team from the NGO FStT so that they would understand the process and procedures for the diagnosis phase of the projects. The trained local teams then in turn train the local farmers in their cities as they implemented the diagnosis phase for identifying the market.
All the activities for identifying the marketable options have been completed in the three pilot cities. Bulawayo has identified poultry as potential options whilst Ndola has identified tomatoes as their options. Cape Town will continue with the basket of vegetables as their option.
The second part of the innovation project will involve the second global workshop in May. The objective is to share experiences on the diagnosis phase and prepare for the implementation of the identified options in the cities and the development of business plans for the options and other related activities in preparation for the implementation of the project. This will be followed by the regional workshop May to train the local teams for implementation.
Exchange visits amongst farmer groups are built in as part of the projects.
MSF and Upgrading of the City Strategic Agenda.
The second component involves strengthening of the MSF and upgrading of the City Strategic agendas on UA in each city. The MSF was created under CFF. Under FSTT the MSF's tasks include upgrading the CSA formulated under CFF and the implementation of the activities thereof. It also involves refining the UA policies in each city and lobbying for their widespread dissemination and implementation.
UA Finance
A UA finance study will be undertaken to is to provide information, knowledge and clear recommendations that will serve to broaden collective and individual financing opportunities for poor urban and peri-urban producers in the pilot cities. The study will culminate in regional workshop to share experiences and this will lead to the design of a guarantee fund for UA.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation are built into the project. Three types of monitoring are carried out. These include:

Frankly, I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that the Patriots are now on their bye week.
On the one hand, the 38-13 thrashing put forth by Miami - a game in which ever-vigilant "professionals" were made to look like a clueless, over-matched college team - seems to indicate that New England has many in-house issues to work through, and that the practice field will provide sanctuary.
On the other hand, maybe the stinker was just a fluke, and the faster the Patriots can get back on the field and atone, the better. I'm sure many fans want to believe that had Sunday been a doubleheader, the real Seymour and Co. would have stood up in the second tussle.
Or maybe the team just thought that the last day of summer meant it was the last chance to take a vacation.
Any which way, it was ugly.
Today, Bill Belichick called the game a "total team loss" and, struggling for bright spots, pointed to Ellis Hobbs' kick returning only.
Hide the children, here are arguably the worst statistics:
--The Dolphins rushed for 6.0 yards per carry.
--The Patriots averaged 3.5 yards per pass attempt.
--Loudmouth Joey Porter had 3 sacks and a forced fumble. (Patriots: How are you going to let a player that trash-talked your team and blatantly told you his strategy beat you? Whatever happened to the motivating power of locker room material?)
Check back here for "After Reviewing the Play, as hopefully a second viewing of the game will provide some more answers.
In the meantime, New England die-hards, remember that if "a win's a win," then a loss must also just be a loss, even if it's at home to Miami and Ronnie Brown runs the same play all game.

Making her first public appearance since announcing in August that she's suffering from lung cancer, Dana Reeve said Thursday, "I feel great."
Speaking at "A Magical Evening," the annual fund-raising gala for the Christopher Reeve Foundation in New York City, Reeve, 44, dressed in a floor-length Dolce & Gabbana floral print dress, said, "Surprisingly, I've been responding so well to treatment. The tumor is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking."
Reeve credited her late husband, Christopher Reeve (who died at age 52 on Oct. 10, 2004), with helping her find the strength to fight her disease. In 1995, Dana stood by his side after a horse-riding accident left the strapping 6'4" Superman star a quadriplegic. Together, the couple worked tirelessly to raise awareness and money for spinal-cord injuries. After his death, Dana assumed his position as head of his New Jersey-based foundation.
"I was married to a man who never gave up," Dana said Thursday. "He taught me so much about courage and about going forward. He really was in this with me." As for the couple's son Will, 13, she said, "He's an incredibly upbeat kid. He is the definition of resilience."
Reeve said she's also received tremendous support from such close friends as Robin Williams. "I have so many rocks," Reeve said. "I have a mountain's worth of rocks."
Reeve's diagnosis capped a year that saw her lose both her husband and her mother, who died unexpectedly following surgery for ovarian cancer. "It's been a very difficult year for our family," she said. "Just when you think, 'Okay, I see the light at the end of the tunnel,' I got the diagnosis. There's so much unknown with a cancer diagnosis that's so dire."
But Reeve said she refuses to feel sorry for herself. "It isn't fair," she said, "but I learned a long time ago life just isn't fair, so you better stop expecting it to be. You just forge ahead. We're going to get through this like we've gotten through everything else."
"A Magical Evening" – which featured appearances by Williams, Paul Newman, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Glenn Close – raised more than $2 million. The Christopher Reeve Foundation is dedicated to finding treatments and cures for spinal-cord injury and to improving the lives of people living with paralysis.
Looking forward, Reeve said she is thinking about resuming her career as an actress and singer. "My prognosis," she said, "looks better all the time."

"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."
- Ray Peat
Just eat some raw potatoes.
Try adaptogens. I haven't had trouble sleeping since I started taking rhodiola! But my problem is different from yours. My problem is that I can't fall asleep sometimes. I don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep. However, that has happened to me in the past, usually when I'm really anxious (like the night before a law-school exam during my first semester in law school--I think it was the pressure of knowing that your entire grade is going to be determined by the one exam). I bet adaptogens would help with that too.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Had noodles with dinner last night and slept most soundly
