Pest proofing
Winter is the time when many homeowners may find themselves hosting a variety of unwanted guests capable of spreading germs and disease.
The most prevalent of these visitors are mice, which are looking for shelter from the cold. Don't be fooled by their size. They're capable of squeezing through an opening the size of a nickle and, once inside, they begin chewing through walls, baseboards, electrical wires and the like. They also reproduce at a frightening rate, producing as many as one dozen babies every three weeks. Diseases that spread from mice to humans through the pests' urine and droppings include Hantavirus and salmonella.
Greg Baumann, senior scientist of the National Pest Management Association, said its important for homeowners to seal up cracks around the home, including areas where utilities and pipes enter the household, using caulk and steel wool. Vents and chimney openings also should be screened. Other pests you might encounter in the off-season include cockroaches, termites, ants, spiders and -- a particular favorite -- crickets of all sizes and stripes.
Don't forget to keep the garage door closed, day and night. Pests have a way of sneaking inside very easily. The NPMA suggests working with a licensed pest professional to inspect and treat the problem. Visit pestworld.org for more information.

Insulation from soy
Now you can keep those little annoying drafts -- the ones that sneak in around windows and doors -- at bay, and do it with something that's better for the Earth.
BioBased Insulation of Arkansas has just come up with Soy Seal, a line of soy-based, canned insulating foam for consumers. The sealer, called For Gaps and Cracks, is spray applied using a straw. It expands to fill and seal gaps and cracks to reduce energy loss.
The product is billed as one that repels water, and blocks moisture and mold problems common around doors and windows. It also exceeds the USDA bio-based standards as the first canned foam to earn the Greenguard for Children & Schools indoor air quality certification.
The Home Depot is offering the product, with custom packaging through its Eco Options program.
For more information, go to soyseal.net.

The feminist turn of the late 1980s and 1990s in the German-language Krimi genre has brought gender to the forefront of mystery and detective fiction. This panel focuses on implicit and explicit intersections between gender and genre in literary and visual forms of the Krimi through the ages. We invite proposals on a range of topics including: representations of gender; the queering of the genre; female authors, subjects (detectives, victims, Watson figures), and readers/spectators of mysteries; and negotiations of subgenre (such as the Frauenkrimi, Regiokrimi, Häkelkrimi, noir, or thriller).
Please email proposals (250 words max, plus your contact info and brief bio in 2-3 sentences) by January 31, 2012, to both organizers: Sabine Gross (email@example.com) and Faye Stewart (firstname.lastname@example.com). Presenters should be members of both WIG and GSA (Women in German and German Studies Association).

The VEGETARIAN
SOCIETY of
HONOLULU Quarterly
* supporting human health, animal rights, and ecology *
Volume VII, No. 2, Jun. 1996
Editor's Message
When's the last time you heard a scientific or medical authority recommend that you "Eat More Meat"? That used to appear on billboards sponsored by the meat industry, but hardly a month goes by these days without a peer-reviewed journal reporting new adverse health links to meat consumption ("mad cow disease," E. Coli O157:H7 food poisoning, and a recent correlation between hamburgers and lymphatic cancer.) The journals keep finding some beneficial chemical component previously unrecognized in plant foods with a recommendation to eat more of the same; if this advice is followed the consumption of meat will inevitably decline.
In spite of this, the Hawaii Legislature has once again dragged up the Molokai slaughterhouse appropriation and funded it with $500,000 of our tax moneys. This porker started out in the 1994 legislature as SB2010, which without public testimony was transformed into Capital Improvement Project (CIP) SUB401-24C for Maui County, and signed into law by outgoing Governor Waihee. Incoming Governor Cayetano, faced with a lagging economy and severe debt, recommended that it be lapsed and indeed in this year's early budget bill SB2160 it was no longer to be funded by the state. Sometime between 5/1/96 and 5/9/96 it was reinserted into the 1996 budget bill.
A petition drive has been started to ask Governor Cayetano to exercise a line item veto against it when the budget comes to him in late June. Most of the CIPs in the budget make some sense: appropriations for airports, communications, fire security, harbors, highways, libraries, prisons, schools, science, waste, and water. Then there's this half million dollar giveaway for the private meat industry. You can find the petition at most of the health food stores in Hawaii. Please sign it (once only) and take copies of it to circulate. After the last signature (18 on a petition) is on the sheet, just fold it over and drop it in the mail. It's already stamped and addressed back. For more copies call 941-8151, leave your name and address and how many copies you can handle and I'll send them out. The petitions must come back by June 10th, then they will be taken to the Governor.
Governor Cayetano can be reached at Office of the Governor, State Capitol, Honolulu, HI 96813. Phone 586-0034. His legislative assistant, Pauline Namuo is at 586-0001. Please write or call with your objections to this appropriation which may include ethical, ecological, economic, nutritional and religious considerations and perhaps some others I haven't even thought of. Ask for a line item veto of HB2800 HD1 SD1 CD1 page 331 (SUB401 - County of Maui - Item 31A.) The governor has until June 19th, 1996 to veto bills and all bills must be signed by July 3rd.

Extracted from Pacific Business News, May 20th, 1996 and ARH Vol. I #1 1996.
The Molokai Livestock Cooperative...has submitted a draft environmental impact statement to Maui County for a ...slaughterhouse on a 7.25 acre parcel of state land at the Molokai Agricultural Park near Hoolehua Airport. The coop comprises nine ranchers who run 8,000 cattle...The project is an effort to restore the Molokai meat business after the state Department of Health ordered the eradication of 10,000 cattle during a bovine tuberculosis scare a decade ago.. The only existing slaughterhouse, owned by Molokai Ranch, Ltd. was shut down by the Health Department...The new facility will be able to handle about 25 kills per week...and is also intended to revitalize the swine industry...
Molokai Ranch (MR), the largest land owner (53,000 acres) on economically depressed Molokai, is owned by Brierley Corporation, a New Zealand conglomerate. In addition to cattle, MR also maintains a "Safari Park" which is stocked with many former Honolulu Zoo animals. MR has a "canned" hunting area; for a fee of $1500 hunters can shoot eland, axis deer, aoudad, and mouflon sheep. MR was cited in 1992 and fined $22,000 for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Former MR park ranger Mark Potter was dismissed in 1995 after he reported neglect and abuse of animals in the "Safari" park. MR accused him of poaching exotic animals but in February a Maui County Circuit Court acquitted him. Potter and his family subsequently moved to Oahu, alleging death threats and gunshots fired at his Molokai home. Potter has filed suit against MR stating that he was wrongfully dismissed and that a federal "whistle blower" statute had been violated.
The 1000-acre Molokai Agricultural Park is under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and Maui County has held the master lease since the park was conceived in the late 1970s. Senate Concurrent Resolution (S.C.R) 24 and House Resolution (H.R.) 55 of the 1996 legislature requests the DLNR and the Department of Agriculture to locate and designate a suitable site for a new slaughterhouse on the island of Oahu (also). DLNR chief Mike Wilson is at 587-0404, or 587-0390 FAX. Agriculture Chairman James Nakatani is at 973-9551 or 973-9613 FAX.

Restaurant Review
Right across from the Old Stadium Park in Moilili we explored the culinary delights of northern Chinese Szechuan dining. Our first impression was one of visual beauty. The walls were covered with large paintings by John Young. The air was smoke free, until later when a patron lit up a cigarette in the rear of the restaurant. We asked the waiter about this and he said that smoking is allowed "at the discretion of the manager" i.e. there really is no particular smoke-free area. I was delighted at the absence of intrusive music.
As soon as we sat down, a pot of steaming hot tea appeared. The waiter brought the menus immediately and was very helpful regarding choice of vegetarian dishes. We carefully explained that the term "vegetarian" means that broth also has to be vegetable-based, not meat or seafood-based. It was a bit difficult due to language barrier, but he did understand and went into the kitchen to ask which soups were all vegetarian. Under the VEGETABLE DISHES portion of the menu, we discovered this sentence: "Please check with your waiter if you are a vegetarian." It's good to know we vegetarians are thought of.
We selected an appetizer, a soup, and two main dishes. The appetizer consisted of shredded Chinese cabbage with red and green pepper strips and shredded carrots, all marinated in a hot sweet-sour dressing. It was very tasty and appeared fat-free. Next we received a large bowl (enough for two or three people) of delicious Tofu and Spinach soup. The tofu was soft and velvety, and the spinach leaves were large and still had stems attached, which was visually pleasing. The soup was very tasty and the amount of fat appeared negligible.
I turned around to further explore the decor of the room and was shocked to see a tank with live crabs. Yikes! We did not let this spoil the rest of our dinner, however. "Buddha's Food" was a delicious combination of crunchy vegetables. Brown rice is available, but one of the servings was hard and dry--maybe a week old? (Brown rice is not a menu item). Next we were served "Eggplant With Hot Garlic Sauce," a delicious dish with ginger flavor and sesame seeds. Unfortunately it was swimming in oil, but our attentive waiter assured us it was "vegetable oil." Why do so many people still think vegetable fat is good fat????
The menu offers seven or eight vegetable dishes ranging in price from $5.95 to $6.50. Three desserts with mysterious names like "Pearl Dumplings" were also listed, but we decided not to order. The overall impression was very positive, and on the way out we asked the owner about MSG. "Only in the black bean sauce and oyster sauce," he replied. We recommend Maple Garden to those who don't mind crabs in a tank.

Cook Healthy Fast with Dick Allgire
Rigatoni with Tomato, Eggplant, & Red Peppers
Saute the onion in the veggie broth or white wine until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the eggplant, pepper, basil and garlic, cover and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will need to add more sauteing liquid when it gets dry. Pour in the tomatoes with the juice, reduce heat and cook slowly, uncovered, until the sauce is thick. This takes about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook pasta to al dente, drain and toss with sauce. Garnish with lactose-free fake Parmesan cheese and basil, and serve.
"Your Kids Will Love This Soup"
from The McDougall Program for a Healthy Heart
Place the onion and water in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir until the onion is tender and water has evaporated. Add remaining ingredients except cilantro. Mix well, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro. Serves 4, prep time 5 minutes, cooking time 12 minutes.
Georgie's Potato Salad

Book Review
The Zone
Barry Sears, Ph.D.
Regan Books, New York 1995
Pat Carney of EarthSave gave me a copy of this diet book for critical comments. The author thinks there's not enough protein in the current 10/10/80 therapeutic vegetarian diet of Pritikin fame. According to Sears, to be in "the Zone" you need 30/30/40 aspercent of Calories from protein, fat, and carbohydrate respectively.
Among other anecdotes Sears says the Stanford swimming team went on his "Zone" diet and won the NCAA championships in 1992-93-94 and took eight Gold medals in the Barcelona Olympics. I called the Stanford athletic department for the records of the Stanford swimming team, since 1916. From 1948-1960 coach Tom Hayne won 90% of his meets. The team won the PAC-TEN 24/46 years and was first in the NCAA 7/46 years. From 1984-91 Stanford was first in the NCAA 3/10 years (before trying the Zone diet), so it's not as if the "Zone" had transformed the Bad News Bears.
And what is "the Zone?" Well, it's that magical realm every athlete experiences when he/she can do no wrong, where every move is right, and no task impossible. According to Sears you get there by balancing your fatty acid eicosanoids and to do this you need more fat and protein and less glucose-releasing starches (bread, cereal, grains, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc.) because they increase insulin release. Here Sears may have a point. Our grains and starches have a high glycemic index (GI) because the starch breaks down and releases glucose into the blood stream faster than vegetables and, believe it or not, some fruits, which are full of fructose, not glucose. Pure glucose has a GI of 100. Eating red beans (GI 30) or cherries (GI 22) raises blood sugar and insulin levels more slowly than eating those fat-free rice cakes (GI 82) or pasta (GI 55). A secondary function of insulin is to store fat, which may explain why the low-fat high carbohydrate diet does not always lead to weight loss.
Linoleic acid is the only essential dietary omega-6 fatty acid. Enzymes in the body convert it to DGLA (Dihomo Gamma Linoleic Acid), and DGLA is the source of the "good" anti-inflammatory eicosanoids. If high GI foods are eaten, the insulin release stimulates a key enzyme that further converts DGLA to the non-essential omega-6 arachidonic acid, and that converts to the "bad" inflammatory eicosanoids. Another simple way to cut your level of arachidonic acid, which is found mostly in animals, would be to not eat animals although the book is full of low-fat meat.
Omega-3 fatty acids may inhibit that key enzyme, thus leading to more "good" eicosanoids. There should be more omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. Sears gets his from fish or fish oil, but the only essential dietary omega-3 is alpha-linolenic acid made by the chloroplasts of green plants including algae, the bottom link in the marine food chain, so eat your spinach dear, and leave the fish alone.
But the grains recommended so highly by contemporary vegetarian writers are loaded not only with starch but with omega-6 linoleic acid. The omega-3:omega-6 ratio ought to be 1:1 since that's what it is in the brain and was also in the diet prior to the agricultural revolution 12,000 years ago. That's when we switched over to grain-based agriculture which reduced the ratio to 1:10, but gave the illusion of enormous success because the cheap new agriculture produced a 16-fold population explosion by 6000 BC. Better off we'd be eating the "herbs of the field and the fruits of the trees," as suggested in Genesis 1:29. That would probably include high-fat goodies like avocados and raw nuts, which are currently forbidden in the low fat vegan school of thought, but which seemed to go down well with Adventists, Natural Hygienists, and other skinny 1930s-type vegetarians.
Sears is probably on to something, but he doesn't explain how to eat his recommended high-protein animal source food without taking on saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein with an auto-immunogenic sequence of amino acids. Still there's no reason healthy vegetarians should go on 10/10/80 rations originally used to reverse severe medical conditions. The stuff to remove from the diet is cholesterol, saturated fat, food additives, processed fats and sugars. What's left you can eat without restraint: unprocessed plant food.
Animal Rights Hawaii
In July ARH will be protesting at the Hawaii State Farm Fair. For three years now we have tried to buy a lamb to take home alive and place in an adoptive home. Each year we've been informed that none of those cute baby animals on display can go anywhere until they've been "humanely" slaughtered. If you'd like to join the protest call us at 941-9476.
Councilmember John Henry Felix has written bill #3 (the "Tyke" bill) to ban big cats, bears, elephants, monkeys and apes from performing at city-owned facilities (e.g. Blaisdell Center) or from participating in parades on city streets. If passed, it would eliminate further "Tyke"-type disasters even as it reduced the litigation risk for C&C. The vote to pass the bill out for public hearing was 2-2 with Felix and Hanneman voting "aye" and Bainum 547-7004 and Mansho 547-7001 "no." Mirikitani 547-7005 was excused prior to the hearing. Please urge council members to sign on to the "Tyke" bill so that it can have a public hearing.
The March Potluck was yummy. Many great dishes were enjoyed and new acquaintances

The Island Vegetarian
3/17/96 The Honolulu Advertiser reported on the economic impact of the Jones Act, which requires that goods carried from one U.S. port to another must be carried on U.S. ships. Foreign ships are cheaper and while all consumers pay more for this Act, the Hawaii Cattlemen's Council seems to be most unhappy. Hawaiian cattle are shipped to the mainland for slaughter and that costs more, unless they re sent to Canada in which case cheaper foreign vessels can be used...3/20/96 Ed Hoover, Director of Health Promotion for Castle Hospital, spent several days in a cow suit carrying 2' by 3' signs saying "Join the Great American Meatout", and "Have a Healthy Day: Eat Vegetarian, Exercise, and Relax." ...3/22/96 Prez Ruth Heidrich won $250 in Pioneer Federal s Healthy Senior contest in the Senior Health Fair at the Hawaii Prince Hotel. There were 70 contestants in her age group: 50 and over. As of this printing Ruth is gallivanting in the Aegean Sea, cruising the islands and teaching fellow passengers about the virtues of a vigorous vegan lifestyle... 4/20/96 Andrea Lee, Jack LÇ, and Dawn Bardusch took first, second, and third in the Chili Cook-Off at the Sandy Beach Music Festival. All three cooks are VSH'ers and all three recipes were vegan...4/28/96 VSH was at the Kapiolani Earth Fest with one booth to display our literature and a second to demonstrate cooking vegetarian stew. Over 100 people were served and there were many compliments. Mary Arakaki, Lou Crouch, Carol Gronseth, Ruth Heidrich, and Jack LiÇ were our reps... 4/24 VSH passed out all of its available Q+A booklets at the Ala Moana Center Community Booth... 5/4/96 Jack LiÇ and Ruth Heidrich led a Chinatown tour, found many vegetarian products, vegetables, seasonings, and a tofu factory. Tour ended with lunch at the Buddhist Vegetarian Restaurant... 5/20/96 The U.S. Department of Agriculture settled a case against John F. Cuneo, president of the Hawthorn Corporation, in Grayslake, Ill., in order to enforce the Animal Welfare Act. Hawthorn did not admit or deny that they violated the Act regulations but agreed to the issuance of a consent decision order and to pay a civil penalty of $12,500 to settle the Tyke case...

LONGEST BRITISH CIVIL TRIAL REACHES 250th DAY
On or around 16th May, the McLibel Trial will have been in court for 250 days. The trial began in June 1994 and is scheduled to continue until the end of 1996...In the U.S. McDonald s launched a new hamburger The Arch DeLuxe.

text: Well the UTC CompSci program is very small and we have tried to recruit from it. However, it seems most of the graduates how little real work experience. Not enough to be qualified. Those that are qualified are more interested in research or more programming type jobs. I am not really sure if it is an issues of little applications or people applying but not being qualified. However from the apps that have gotten through I would expect it is more of the first. Now to not get in trouble, I will talk in general terms having worked at a couple HE institutions. Higher Education is not really the "real world" as it relates to the job market. The person who wants to work and succeed in Higher Education is the person who understands and values the benefits that Higher Education can provide. Higher Education institutions are going to prefer people with degrees. They are in the business of formal education, so it makes sense they value it highly. In general if the person values the highest possible paycheck, HE is not the right fit for them. The HE atmosphere is one where you have little operating funds, but a large flexibility to come up with unique solutions to problems. UT jobs include about 52 paid days off a year including 2-vacation days a month, 1-sick day a month and various holidays. Also if you need to complete your undergrad or get a masters/phd/edd, it is free and management provides flexibility to take those classes. I say it is not the "real world" because it is not a production type environment. I worked at a software startup for 2.5 years and made lots more money, but it was 60-65 hours a week, with lots of stress and lots of travel. I prefer the slower pace of the HE world and value my sanity more than the almighty dollar. Every job and work environment has it's pros and cons. I would close with saying that anyone interested should apply. If you think you might be under qualified, so what. Let the HR people decide that. Don't dimiss a good opportunity because you are afraid of rejection.

South Carolina soon will mark the retirement of one of the longest-serving public university presidents in the nation. Anthony J. DiGiorgio will retire from Winthrop University's presidency after 24 years.
Palmetto State residents who know 21st century Winthrop recognize the transformation that Dr. DiGiorgio's leadership has created there: a modern curriculum centered around building capacities needed for both lifelong professional achievement and civic leadership, a technologically contemporary academic environment, and intertwined strategies for campus growth and economic development.
What may be less well-known, yet noteworthy, are the contributions that President DiGiorgio has made to his adopted state. Consider:
Diversity: In a state where leading higher education institutions' student bodies are not often recognized for diversity, Winthrop University has become an institution of choice for the best and brightest college-eligible African-American students. Winthrop is more successful at guiding those students to degree attainment than most American colleges, and was nationally recognized in 2010 for that achievement by The Education Trust and Gates Foundation.
Achievement in diversity began in 1989-90, when DiGiorgio, who had moved south from New Jersey, decided to visit African-American churches and high schools that had high minority enrollments. The focus of that outreach was to deliver one important message: African-American students will find a welcoming, supportive campus at Winthrop.
Back then, Winthrop's minority enrollment was just 14 percent. Today, it is 29 percent. Now, word of mouth among successful African-American students and alums makes Winthrop a first choice.
Collaboration: As former chair of the S.C. Commission on Higher Education, I know how difficult it's been to motivate the higher education community to coordinate activities focused on statewide needs. Only in two instances have such initiatives been undertaken — both during DiGiorgio terms as chair of the Council of Presidents. Sadly, neither initiative could sustain traction under leadership other than his.
Given new pressures pummeling higher education — e.g., unproven massive on-line courses that tickle politicians' fantasies of a $10,000-a-year college degree — it remains to be seen whether South Carolina higher education can recover from the Great Recession without such a champion.
Service: Public service has been a core value at Winthrop since its founding, and now manifests itself statewide in several ways.
A few years back, President DiGiorgio welcomed to Winthrop's campus the S.C. headquarters of Campus Compact — the national organization of 1,200-plus institutions that work to develop students' citizenship capacities through public and community service.
Now, not coincidentally, a generation of young leaders is taking its place in civic and public policy roles because of habits of service cultivated by Campus Compact and supported by the personal examples DiGiorgio set.
Other examples of statewide service include:
• Winthrop years ago welcomed to its campus the state offices of what is now the S.C. Center for Teacher Recruitment, Retention and Advancement (CERRA.) CERRA and Winthrop are known for encouraging national standards among teachers and helping ensure a pipeline of quality teachers for K-12 school districts.
• Likewise, Winthrop hosts the Arts in Basic Curriculum project, which provides statewide leadership in delivering arts education to K-12 students to build the creativity and innovation they will need later in virtually all professional fields.
• Winthrop also was at the vanguard of the campus safety issue, long before the Virginia Tech tragedy occurred, bringing together university personnel from across the state for what is now an annual conference devoted to campus safety concerns.
Excellence: At the institutional level, increased national recognition for Winthrop over the past 24 years speaks for itself. Publications such as U.S. News, Barron's and Princeton Review, as well as accreditors, have examined the 21st century Winthrop repeatedly and documented it to be of high quality and value — worthy of being listed often among the best universities of its kind.
Together with the wide-ranging statewide initiatives outlined above, the transformative energy generated at Winthrop now benefits every corner of the state. Certainly, such transformation does not occur because of one leader's vision or commitment. But likewise, it does not happen without a leader of extraordinary vision and commitment either.
As many college and university presidents and have come and gone from South Carolina, we should be very grateful that Tony DiGiorgio chose to make his life's work here among us.

To describe the first adult with neurologic complications associated with H1N1 influenza virus infection.
Case report.
A 40-year-old man with severe H1N1 influenza infection with prolonged hypoxia and critical illness who remained comatose after withdrawal of sedatives and paralytics.
Clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging.
Brain imaging revealed multifocal T2 hyperintense lesions, edema, and hemorrhages consistent with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHL) and restricted diffusion in the basal ganglia consistent with hypoxic brain injury. The patient remained in a severely disabled state following treatment with plasma exchange and high-dose corticosteroids.
This is the first study of neurologic complications associated with H1N1 influenza infection in adults. Severe brain injury can occur by 2 distinct mechanisms: a fulminant autoimmune demyelinating insult (AHL) and hypoxic brain injury. Clinicians should be aware of these potential complications so that appropriate imaging and treatment can be considered.
A novel influenza A (H1N1) virus discovered in 2009 has caused the first influenza pandemic in more than 30 years. Although neurologic complications of seasonal influenza have been described, their frequency in association with H1N1 influenza remains unknown. To date, there have been no reports of neurologic manifestations of H1N1 influenza infection in adults. In children there are reports of seizures and encephalopathy1 and 1 case of fatal acute necrotizing encephalopathy.2
Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHL) is a rare fulminant form of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, initially described by Hurst.3 The mortality rate in this demyelinating disease may be as high as 70%.4 Clinical features of AHL typically follow a respiratory infection and include headache, seizures, focal neurologic signs, and encephalopathy, which may rapidly progress to coma. Brain magnetic resonance imaging reveals multifocal T2 white matter hyperintensities with marked edema and areas of hemorrhage.5 Although usually fatal, there have been favorable recoveries described in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy and plasma exchange.6,7 We describe a patient with AHL in addition to hypoxic ischemic brain injury associated with severe H1N1 infection.
A previously healthy 40-year-old man presented to a local emergency department with subacute malaise, fever, and dyspnea. His oxygen saturation was 68% with room air, and he was admitted to the hospital with suspected community-acquired pneumonia. His condition deteriorated overnight; he was intubated for hypoxemic respiratory failure and transferred to a larger institution. His temperature was 38.4°C; heart rate, 122 beats per minute; blood pressure, 141/78 mm Hg; and oxygen saturation, 88% while mechanically ventilated with fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 100%, with positive end expiratory pressure of 12 cm of water. To facilitate low tidal volume ventilation, he was paralyzed and sedated with intravenous infusions of cisatracurium and propofol. Chest computed tomography showed extensive bilateral consolidations and ground glass opacities (Figure). Broncho-alveolar lavage was performed, and tracheal secretions tested positive for influenza A via testing with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction performed at the Minnesota Department of Health laboratory. Additional testing for influenza (eg, serum serology) was not performed. The patient was treated with oseltamivir for 5 days.
Radiographic images of severe H1N1 infection. A, Chest computed tomography in H1N1 influenza and acute respiratory distress syndrome shows extensive opacities. Brain magnetic resonance imaging reveals subcortical hyperintensities (B and C), with hemorrhages on gradient echo sequence (D). E and F, Diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient images show restricted diffusion in the basal ganglia consistent with hypoxic brain injury.
The patient remained intubated, mechanically ventilated, paralyzed, and sedated while developing progressive bilateral alveolar infiltrates and refractory hypoxemia. On arterial blood gas, his pH ranged from 7.02 to 7.25 for nearly 1 month, with PO2 between 50 and 60 mm Hg; PCO2, 80 to 100 mm Hg; and oxygen saturation, 70% to 80% while receiving FIO2 of 85% to 100%. A bispectral index monitor was placed to monitor cerebral activity. One month into his critical illness, an acute drop on the bispectral index monitor to nearly 0 was noted while the patient was still paralyzed. Head computed tomography showed bilateral subcortical hypodensities with a small amount of hemorrhage. Episodes of intermittent tachypnea and eye deviation prompted treatment with intravenous valproic acid but there was no evidence of electrographic seizures on serial electroencephalograms (EEGs). A brain magnetic resonance image showed multiple lesions in both cerebral hemispheres associated with edema and multifocal petechial hemorrhages. The patient remained comatose after withdrawal of paralysis and sedation. Repeated magnetic resonance imaging 6 days later showed progression of the lesions, and he was transferred to our institution.
On arrival the patient was comatose, with preserved brain stem reflexes, left gaze deviation, and absent motor response to noxious stimuli. Continuous electroencephalographic monitoring showed independent multifocal sharp waves but no electrographic seizures. He was treated with 7 sessions of plasma exchange and 10 days of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone without significant clinical improvement. Repeated magnetic resonance imaging showed little change in the multifocal supratentorial white matter lesions but revealed symmetric areas of restricted diffusion in the globus pallidi and caudate nuclei, consistent with anoxic brain injury (Figure). Testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed increased protein (0.244 g/dL; to convert to grams per liter, multiply by 10.0), 1 total nucleated cell, 157 erythrocytes, elevated IgG synthesis rate (33 mg/d), elevated IgG index (0.89), and no oligoclonal bands. Two months after onset of symptoms, he remained in a severely disabled state.
We describe the first adult with neurologic complications associated with the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. This case illustrates the severe brain injury that can occur by 2 different mechanisms in this setting: a postinfectious autoimmune demyelinating insult (AHL) and hypoxic injury resulting from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There are compelling arguments for 2 disease processes in this case rather than combining the laboratory and radiographic findings. The marked restricted diffusion involving the striata and globi pallidi strongly indicates a major hypoxemic insult. The progressive white matter involvement, together with CSF findings of elevated IgG index, synthesis rate, and protein are all consistent with AHL. However, we acknowledge that basal ganglia involvement can occur with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and that diffusion-weighted imaging abnormalities have been described in AHL.8
Acute encephalopathies have been described in association with seasonal influenza, mostly in children. Hurst disease, or AHL, is the most severe form and is commonly fatal. We present here the first case of Hurst disease described after severe H1N1 influenza infection. Though there was no definitive diagnosis by brain biopsy and pathologic review, we believe that the imaging findings of deep white matter involvement with edema and hemorrhage in addition to the CSF findings are consistent with AHL. The absence of pleocytosis is compatible with the diagnosis, as up to 50% of patients with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis have been reported to have completely normal CSF findings, and several cases with a diagnosis of AHL have had normal CSF cell counts.6,9,10 Our case illustrates that one should consider the possibility of AHL in patients who have H1N1 and the importance of serial neurologic examinations in critically ill patients. Brain magnetic resonance imaging should be performed in case of neurologic decline, and treatment with plasma exchange and high-dose steroids should be considered (though mostly anecdotal in reported successes) if findings are suggestive of AHL.
We can expect hypoxic brain injury in comatose survivors after treatment of major lung injury resulting in poor gas exchange. However, the magnitude of this potential problem is unknown. There is debate regarding permissive hypoxemia and optimal oxygen saturation in patients with ARDS secondary to H1N1 influenza.11 This is based on findings that interventions in ARDS that improve hypoxemia (eg, nitric oxide, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, prone ventilation) have not translated into survival benefit12- 14 and that most patients with ARDS die of multisystem organ failure rather than hypoxemia.15 Our case may illustrate the potential for devastating neurologic injury resulting from a prolonged time period of hypoxemia. Although it is entirely unknown whether more aggressive oxygen administration may improve oxygen delivery in patients with massive intrapulmonary shunts, permissive hypoxemia in H1N1 influenza associated with ARDS may not be permitted by the brain.

Veterans in focus
Loyalty Makes You Family
My grandpa, Charles "Perky" Perkins, served in Vietnam. He loved to tell us stories about his experiences over there and, sadly, what he faced upon his return to our country. He told us sad stories of fellow soldiers falling and he told us funny stories, like the time they set the latrines on fire. He talked about the many veteran groups he belonged to and all of their events. But what Grandpa Perky told us and left with us most of all is that family isn't always blood. He married my grandmother when I was already in college. He became our Grandpa quickly, accepting us and loving us all for who we were. We easily did the same in return as his grandchildren. He never missed a Birthday, sports game, concert recital, graduation, Grandparents' Day, Anniversary or wedding. We camped together every summer and ate together at every major and minor holiday. He taught us that it's not always blood, but rather loyalty that makes a family.
It wasn't only us, his step-family turned whole-hearted family, that learned this lesson from him but also his best friends from Vietnam. They fought together and came home together and called themselves the "Brothers From Other Mothers." They truly were brothers, keeping in touch and getting together annually nationwide. Their wives were sisters, too. One big, happy family.
Unfortunately, our hero, Grandpa Perky, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 29th, 2012. But this Veterans Day, we will remain loyal to him and the impact he has had on our lives by honoring his memory and service to our country.

About This Book
After disappearing for three years, Artemis Fowl has returned to a life different from the one he had. Now he's a big brother, and spends his days teaching his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant.
But when Artemis's mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct, due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy. Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to rescue the lemur and bring it to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short.
The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all . . . and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten.

This well known text has been revised extensively since the last edition, and new material has been added consisting of chapters on scrub typhus, Q fever, jungle yellow fever, lymphocytic choriomeningitis and certain other unusual diseases. Like all texts made up of chapters by different authors, the method of presentation of material varies widely, and the viewpoint is equally varied. As an illustration of this, one notes that although the relationship of hoof-and-mouth disease, contagious ecthyma of sheep and some of the fungi of animals to diseases of man certainly are questionable, these are given prominent attention whereas malaria, transmitted by animals (mosquitoes), receives a bare sentence. The statement that dogs and wild rodents act as reservoirs for Leishmania donovani and "probably constitute important sources for infection" would require considerable documentation before it could be accepted as fact. The method by which Salmonella infections are transmitted from animals to man

Newly-minted health minister Gaétan Barrette says an online petition urging him to lose some weight is bullying.
"If I were a regular citizen yes that would be bullying," he said.
Meanwhile, the man who launched the petition on his blog, Pierre-Etienne Vachon, is withdrawing the petition because of the nasty comments, but still maintains he's been misunderstood.
"I find it deplorable that people are interpreting my initiative as a personal attack against Minister Barrette," Vachon wrote. "Maybe I was a little clumsy in my wording. I apologize to everyone who was offended by my proposal or my attitude."
Vachon had wanted Barrette to commit to losing weight, because he says he believes the health minister should be a role model, and present something resembling a picture of health.
Vachon had conceded, however, that he "probably has the necessary administrative skills to fulfil his mandate."

DETROIT, MI -- A large voter turnout is not expected in Detroit today.
Many voters, even the enthusiastic city clerk admits, feel powerless with an unelected emergency manager in control and the city in the middle of a bankruptcy trial.
The state appointee, at least for now, has ultimate authority over all decisions in Detroit government.
The power of the mayor and city council have been diminished.
But there are a number of reasons Detroit's elections will have a major impact on the future of the city and the state.
1. He won't be here forever.
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr has only about a year left in office before Detroit City Council can legally vote to oust him. The choices voters make in today's election will decide who's in charge once Orr's reign is over, and what direction the city takes in the aftermath of its restructuring.
2. Lingering state control will depend on elected leaders.
The state would likely still hold financial oversight for some time after the emergency manager is gone through a consent agreement. Whether the city will eventually break from state involvement or continue to operate under its influence will be depend on the effectiveness of Detroit's elected leaders.
3. There's still a chance the state could be forced out.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes still hasn't decided whether Detroit is eligible for the Chapter 9 bankruptcy Orr is pursuing. And multiple federal lawsuits that argue Orr's appointment was unconstitutional in the first place are on hold as a result of the bankruptcy case.
Rhodes and other judges could, theoretically, put elected leaders back in control much sooner than expected.
4. There's still a lot of work to do.
The mayor and city council have had their power diminished, but their schedules remain full. Even if all they did each day was hear individual service complaints and relay them to city departments, that would keep them busy. But their responsibilities remain broad and essential.
City council votes every week to accept grants, approve contracts and purchasing, sell land and take planning and development actions. The makeup of City Council will drastically change as a result of today's election. With just four incumbents running, there will be at least five new members when the new nine-member council takes office in January.
The mayor, though he has been upset with the level of control over day-to-day operations Orr has taken, still exerts influence and makes appearances around the city every day.
5. History.
The city is facing a historic moment in which both its breaking point and its imminent resurgence are undeniable, and the people elected to lead Detroit through this pivotal time and into the future will be remembered, emergency manager or no emergency manager.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - The Morgan County Sheriff's Department has obtained warrants charging a suspect who held up a bank in Berkeley Springs Thursday afternoon with felony bank robbery.
Morgan County Sheriff Vince Shambaugh said authorities have been following up on leads and continue to search the local area, but Justin Andrew Shives, 26, of Berkeley Springs, remained at large as of Friday afternoon.
"The lead investigator is Lt. Tim Stapleton. We've obtained warrants, and there's a BOLO (be on the lookout bulletin) put out to all surrounding states with the authority to extradite and the whole nine yards. He'll turn up. He doesn't drive. He doesn't work. He's from here," Shambaugh said.

Justin Andrew Shives.
Shambaugh said police have checked several residences of friends, relatives and neighbors, but there have been no confirmed sightings of Shives since Thursday.
"We've had a few people think they saw him. It's been young men close to that description, but it wasn't him, so we had no contact today," Shambaugh said.
An extensive search was conducted following Thursday's bank robbery at the City National Bank, located at 149 N. Washington St. in Berkeley Springs, but Shives managed to elude capture.
Police responded to the bank at about 3:01 p.m. Thursday for a call reporting a bank robbery.
Two separate employees of the bank identified the robber as Shives, who allegedly approached a window at the bank and handed an employee a note saying "open the drawer and give me the cash."
Shives began counting the cash and reportedly fled on foot north on Washington Street after taking several hundred dollars in $20 bills. No weapon was displayed and none of the employees were injured in the robbery.
Areas north and west of Berkeley Springs were searched extensively before an unidentified woman approached police saying she had given Shives a ride to an apartment complex south of town after he showed up at her home and satisfied a $300 debt.
The money was confiscated by police, and the serial numbers on the currency matched bank records from the robbery. Police searched Catawba Club Apartments just south of Berkeley Springs, but didn't locate Shives. Police learned that he had left the apartment complex in a car with associates. Deputies were able to stop the car and learned that Shives had been dropped off by his friends in northern Morgan County. More money stolen in the bank robbery was recovered from the individuals. Shives apparently gave the individuals money for a ride. All the money stolen consisted of $20 denominations.
The Morgan County Sheriff's Department was assisted in the search effort by members of the West Virginia State Police, as well as officers with the Berkeley Springs and Paw Paw police departments.
Anyone with information about Shives' whereabouts is asked to contact the Morgan County Sheriff's Department at 304-258-1067.
Shives is described as a white male with dark-colored hair, approximately 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a camouflage T-shirt and a tan ball cap.

Sun. 4:17pm: Teen to be sentenced in Chardon shootings

"Slam dunking pukes after they've killed and maimed dozens of people with guns is just not enough."
You are correct that it won't bring victims back but it may serve as a deterrent to someone else seeking short term fame via a mass killing.
Understand that guns are not the only tools that these sickos can choose to carry out their acts.
Using your logic, we should castrate all males in Steubenville to prevent the violation of any more drunk party going girls.
We need to punish the perpetrators of heinous acts, not punish all law abiding citizens by removing Constitutional rights.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"First and foremost", The unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are enumerated in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence – not in the Constitution.
What IS enumerated in the Constitution is "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
"our society is flooded with unnecessary guns "
Who determines this? You or the good Senator from California? And what Constitutional provision do you use to support your response?
"and irresponsible gun owners"
The vast majority of gun owners are very responsible. You need to support your accusation with data or withdraw it.
"How did this boy get this weapon?"
A valid question. Don't really know where he obtained the gun.
However, this is not a "boy" . He is a KILLER.
You do no one any favors by softening the description of the perpetrator while you viciously attack the tool he chose to carry out his act.

Slam dunking the pukes after the fact won't bring the dead victims back. First and foremost the Constitution guarantees life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens. Too many innocent citizens' lives, often children, are being cut short because our society is flooded with unnecessary guns and irresponsible gun owners. How did this boy get this weapon? He pulled the trigger but whoever owned that gun should be going to jail right along with him.
Slam dunking pukes after they've killed and maimed dozens of people with guns is just not enough.

And Trib, don't use the term "teen" when describing this shooter.
Are you trying to invoke sympathy?
Use the term "killer" which more completely describes this person who committed a heinous adult act.

Here, Senator Feinstein, is where we address those who violate our gun laws.

Listen: Tim Robbins' album getting proper release in U.S. this summer
Joining actors-slash-musicians like Steve Martin and Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins is preparing the release of his own album this summer in the U.S.
"Tim Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band" will be out on 429 Records on July 8, and features production by Hall Willner and guest vocalist Joan As Policewoman.
Guitarist and vocalist Robbins' Rogues Gallery Band is keyboardist Roger Eno, musical saw player David Coulter and multi-instrumentalist Kate St. John (Dream Academy), according to the Hollywood Reporter. The set was previously only available as an import via PIAS. The nine-song tracklist will remain intact.
Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band will be touring in support, with a couple stop-offs at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and the Edmonton Folk Festival. U.S. dates are in Seattle, L.A. and New York.
Below is a cut, "You're My Dare," from the album. It's got a little Steve Earle stank on it. Cute.
The actor has contributed some of his originals to his past movie projects, like in "Bob Roberts" and "Dead Man Walking." His father Gilbert Robbins was in the Highwaymen and managed now-defunct New York club The Gaslight.
Do you like the tune?

No decorations up here this year. No gifts going out either but that's not so bad. We'll celebrate it for what it is...the birth of Christ. So we'll have a nice dinner with good company.
What's everyone else's plans.
Good to see people are stopping by. Hopefully we'll have more tomorrow when everyone wakes up and are ready for their morning coffee.

This looks awful, really awful.
If you need more than 4 words to describe a dish, you need to go back to the drawing board.
I can't imagine that I would ever be hungry enough to want "Sheppard Mansion Farms Heirloom Tomatoes"; I'd just like good tomatoes, thanks.
Sure, "pastrami cured salmon" and "black garlic" sound like good ideas, but can you make it work?
"Candied bacon"? I would not even take it seriously if it were not included in the same menu item as "verbena granola".

- Rich said...
Hmmm...kinda "snarky" there Lou.
Full Disclosure - I'm freinds with both these guys.
Obviously everyone's entitled to their opinion and I hear you - in general - on the "menu description" thing.....but...
...this dinner sold out in less than 36 hours. It's two - under the radar - guys looking to have fun with the people willing to come out on a Tuesday - a "school nite".....
...I can tell you - from experience - BOTH of them KNOW HOW TO COOK and the folks who put out and spend their hard earned $$$$ to come to this ( and the "overflow dinner" on 11/2 ) won't be disappointed.
As to your "menu description" issue..again - I hear ya - but we live in a world of "marketing" and those that don't adjust....die.
People want know where "stuff" is coming from and Little actually GREW those tomatoes and the folks LOVE to know that.
In a perfect world, you're probably right.....but it's not a perfect world and if you don't "promote" and "label"......you don't get heard....
Have a great weekend.

This is Andy Little, the guy who helped write the menu you just described as 'awful, really awful'. I also grew the tomatoes and melon that you take issue with their menu description.
I'd like to offer you an invitation to come to this dinner(even though it's already sold out) as my special guest. I'm really proud of not only the produce that I grew and am bringing to this dinner, but also the ideas that Andrew and I presented with this menu and I would like for you to taste what we are describing, on me. I don't think you can really judge a dining experience simply by its menu and I want you to TASTE our food. If after tasting the food, you still think it's 'awful, really awful, then OK.
Please take me up on this, I'd love to have you as my guest.

- Lou said...
To Chef Andy Little and everyone else I offended:
I've seldom been sorry about a post of mine, but I am now.
By way of explanation, but not an excuse: I live in Puerto Rico. We harvested a dozen panas yesterday from trees that have been here for generations. We're lucky to see any kind of tomato. The finer foods of the world do not make their way here.
I used to live in Newton, MA, and had access to Russo's Market (among others), a place where you could buy any kind of fruit, vegetable, meat, or salumi. I miss it dearly.
In particular to Chef Andy: please accept my humble apology. The pride you show in what you do is evidence of its quality. I can't accept your invitation (although I would dearly love to do so, I can't afford the air fare), but I do promise to think before I write in the future.

DAYTON - A newspaper reports that the Ohio Department of Education has seen a 69-percent increase in referrals for the possible teacher misconduct during the past seven years.
The analysis by the Dayton Daily News showed that the referrals to the education department's Office of Professional Conduct increased from 4,770 in 2005 to 8,068 last year. However, last year's figure was a 5.7-percent decrease from 2011. It's only the second time the state has seen a decline in the referrals since 2005.
Referrals are for behaviors ranging from conduct unbecoming to more serious violent and drug offenses.
Officials say there are several reasons for the increases, including changes to state law in the past decade that have allowed for greater accountability.
