Possible Changes In The Catechism Uncovered
Looks like Joan Alien, crack Vatican reporter for the Nifty Catholic Reporter, has another scoop on her hands. Unfortunately, NCR declined to print Joan's story, fearing reprisals from the lunch ladies in the Vatican cafeteria. The Ironic Catholic harbors no such fears, however, and is therefore pleased to present Joan's report in its entirety:
Vatican City (NCR) – A small group of American bishops is meeting informally to draft a proposal for a U.S. supplement to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. So far, the prelates have prepared some 155 paragraphs to be added to the Catechism for the purpose of clarifying certain moral and doctrinal issues.
One of the bishops participating in the project said it's "hush hush" for the moment. "If we go public with this now, everybody would want to get their two cents in," he said. "We'd be at ten volumes in a heartbeat. Why, just the other day one of the lunch ladies in the Vatican cafeteria was suggesting that we clarify Catholic doctrine on angels. She had this whole spiel about the theology of angels being underdeveloped. She gave us a ten-page paper she'd written on it. We just don't want to open up that can of worms."
The source did say that the committee was inspired by pastoral concerns: "American culture poses a variety of grave challenges to Catholics today, leaving many of them confused and uncertain," he said. "Why, just yesterday I was celebrating Mass for a group of Americans at the Basilica of St. Mary. They spent the entire time just staring at me with dazed and confused expressions. Later I learned they were a Mormon tour group that got really lost, but my overall point still stands. American Catholics are like sheep without a shepherd. C.f. Matthew 9:36, you know. And wherever we see sheep without a shepherd, well, that's where we'll be. We're on the case. We're there. Got our turbo-charged shepherd staffs and everything. Hey, what does 'c.f.' stand for, anyway?"
NCR managed to obtain several pages of the draft proposal that were left under an unfinished peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the Vatican cafeteria after one of the committee's informal "chat 'n' chew" meetings. Although most of the pages were partially obscured by what appeared to be blue Kool-Aid, the following suggested supplements to the Catechism remained legible:
On private revelation:
67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called "private" revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. . . .
67.1 This is the case with the Gospel of Oprah. Although Oprah is a likeable, well-intentioned woman with a sizeable market share, it is not her role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, even if she does sometimes give away the odd new car or two. The so-called "Gospel of Oprah," therefore, is extracanonical. Ditto Rick Warren, Rush Limbaugh, et al.
On family life:
2206 The relationships within the family bring an affinity of feelings, affections and interests, arising above all from the members' respect for one another. . . .
2206.1 Therefore, when the baby cries in the middle of the night, spouses should not be like Eli, pretending to be asleep in order to avoid responding to the call; rather, let each spouse be like Samuel, eagerly arising to answer the call - even three times in a row (c.f. 1 Samuel 3:1-10).
2206.2 And when one or another in the family sees a full laundry basket lying at the side of the hallway, let him not pass by on the other side, pretending to ignore it. Rather, like the Good Samaritan (c.f. Luke 10:30-37), let him pick up the laundry and tend to it mercifully, even if doing so means bringing it to a Laundromat and depositing some silver coins there for its care.
2206.3 "Sorry honey, I'm busy sitting at the feet of the Lord" (c.f. Luke 10:39) is not a valid excuse for not helping with the dishes, especially when you're watching NFL football at the moment.
On the sanctity of life:
2262.1 "You shall not kill." The Lord's command is simple in its clarity, yet human beings are subjected to negative influences and tempted by sin to prefer their own judgment, to wit: a) "War is so much more exciting and to the point than diplomacy"; b) "That's really a pumpkin in there; it just magically turns into a baby when it comes out. Otherwise why would pregnant women's bellies be round, hmm?"; c) "Hey, we deserve those stem cells, darn it!"; d) "Jesus commanded us, 'Do unto others what they do unto you'"; e) "If he's not like me, he must not really be human"; f) "He killed me first!" But as the doctors of the Church teach, the Lord's command omits any ambiguity:
You shall not kill them in the rain.
You shall not kill them on a train.
You can not, will not, on a boat.
You will not, will not, with a goat.
Not in the womb! Not in a tree!
Not in a war! You let them be!
Do not kill them as embryos.
Do not kill them with Cheerios.
Do not kill them with a mouse.
Do not kill them in a house.
Do not kill them in the chair.
You're not God, so it's not fair.
Do not kill them here or there.
Do not kill them anywhere!
Remember how you killed the Lamb?
So stop the killing, says the great I Am!
(c.f. Dr. Seuss, "Green Eggs and Ham")

Ingenius! What will those strange American Catholics think up next? Here in Australia we have [His Eminence] Big George [Cardinal Pell] to hold the line, so I doubt we'll be getting anything so engaging in our books this decade.

Hey, pretty grrrreattt, Jovial! Welcome to St Blog's Parish!
I.C.'s gonna have to start looking around more at the competition, especially with the big awards ceremony coming up in a couple of months.
Where can I submit my proposed changes to the Catechism? I have a bunch of sins I'd like to see removed from the list. It'll make life much more fun.
And I think the use of Kool Aid pitchers and some modern hymns should be mortal sins!

Thanks for the laugh, after the day I have had I really really neaded it.
and thanks to our great American Bishops for clearing up all those ambiguous places in the Catechism for us.

Could it be that Girls is not a wholly accurate representation of Generation Y, and a slice of the much-fussed-over demographic is actually doing better than everything thinks?
That's the takeaway from this Reuters piece, which says that while a third of the country's 80 million millennials live with their parents, 12 million live in households that make more than $100,000. That's thanks in no small part to tech jobs, which allow you to pay down undergraduate debt much faster than law or med school. Then many of them don't want to spend their hard-earned dollars on big houses or fancy cars. No, they want "experiences."
Like, for instance, going to outer space:
"Where the wealthy young are spending their cash is on experiences – food, wine, even intergalactic travel. [Merrill Lynch private banking wealth adviser Rich] Hogan says more than a few of his clients have bought seats on the Virgin spaceship at a couple of hundred thousand dollars a pop. 'Those are the kind of cool things that they think about. It's discretionary income to somebody with millions,' he says."
Anyone who thinks that going to outer space isn't conspicuous consumption is already living on another planet.

Benny "Kid" Paret
Mar. 14, 1937
Santa Clara
Villa Clara, Cuba
Apr. 3, 1962
New York
New York County (Manhattan)
New York, USA
Professional Boxer. Welterweight boxing champion. The history between boxers Emile Griffith and Benny Paret was fiery and, unfortunately, it ended in tragedy. In their first meeting on April 1, 1961, Griffith captured the welterweight title with a 13th-round knockout. They met again six months later and this time Paret took back his belt with a narrow split decision. Paret, from Cuba, failed in a bid to capture the middleweight crown before returning to the 147-pound ranks to meet Griffith a third time. This meeting took place on March 24, 1962 at Madison Square Garden. At the weigh-in Paret made derisive remarks about Griffith and questioned the New Yorker's manhood. The foes were quite familiar with each other and wasted little time mixing it up. Paret nearly ended the fight in round six, when Griffith was saved by the bell after absorbing a multi-punch combination. Nothing could save Paret from what was about to happen in the 12th round. Griffith backed Paret into a corner and had him in trouble after landing a series of hooks and uppercuts. Paret was hanging defenseless on the ropes as referee Ruby Goldstein hesitated, allowing Griffith to prolong the attack. Perhaps part of Goldstein's lack of action was due to the fact that Paret often feigned injury, hoping to catch overanxious opponents on the way in. But this wasn't an act and by the time Goldstein intervened, Paret was slumping to the canvas. Paret never regained consciousness. He lapsed into a coma and died 10 days after the fight.

Ann Shelton's Doublet
Doublet (after Heavenly Creatures), Parker/Hulme crime scene, Port Hills, Christchurch, New Zealand relates to one of the most infamous crimes in New Zealand history: the murder of Honora Parker by her daughter Pauline and her teenage friend Juliet Hulme, in Christchurch in 1954.
The story continues to capture the public imagination and has been the subject of ongoing speculation, countless newspaper articles, several books, and Peter Jackson's 1994 film Heavenly Creatures.
Shelton presents us with an oddly banal scene in which no activity occurs, leaving us to ponder the significance of the site she has chosen to document. It could be anywhere, yet we nevertheless get the sense that something happened here. The mirroring of the two images creates further unease. The work's title provides some clues but we are left to put the pieces together and construct the narrative. The power of the work lies in prolonging this moment of uncertainty – needing to question the veracity of what we are looking at – and destabilising our faith in the photographic image as truthful record.
This image is one of a number of works by New Zealand photographer Ann Shelton in Te Papa's collection.

Nearly 22 days after a minor girl was abducted from Haddobet village, the Kathgarh police claimed to have rescued the 14-year-old from Kanga village in Malsian area of Jalandhar district on late Wednesday night. However, the main accused Amandeep managed to flee from the spot.
The girl was allegedly abducted by three brothers from Haddobet village in Balachaur sub-division on October 17 and even though the police had managed to arrest on the brothers, they had failed to trace the girl. The parents and the villagers had staged a protest outside the administrative complex on Tuesday, demanding the arrest of the accused.
Speaking with Hindustan Times, Kathgarh station house officer Gurinder Pal Singh said the police party reached Kanga village after getting information about a boy and girl hiding in a room in the fields. The SHO said the police team took the uncle of the girl and Haddobet village sarpanch to identify the girl and raided the spot around 9pm.
However, seeing the police approach, main accused Amandeep Singh managed to escape under the cover of darkness, he added. "The policemen chased him, but to no avail. We would soon nab Amandeep and his brother Dara, the third accused," the SHO said. Their brother Rana is already in police custody.
The girl, meanwhile, has been handed over to her family after recording her statement and putting her through a medical examination.
A case was registered against the three brothers Amandeep Singh, Rana and Dara Singh of Muttomand village under sections 363, 366-A, 506 and 34 of IPC at Kathgarh police station on October 18.

101 Precinct Cop Busted For Nassau Assault
An off-duty police officer who serves as the community affairs officer for the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway was arrested by Nassau County police after he was charged with being part of a gang of Hispanic men who beat up a black man while yelling racial epithets outside a Long Island deli on Sunday. County police identified the officer as Juan Nunez, who has been assigned to the precinct for seven years.
Sources in Nassau County say the fight may have been started by the black man, identified as Daryl Jackson, 52, of Roosevelt on Long Island. Jackson was allegedly hanging out in front of the Freeport bodega owned by the other three men, who are reportedly Nunez's cousins. One of the defendants, Kevin Vargas, reportedly ordered Jackson, who eyewitnesses say was harassing customers, to move away from the store, The Midway Deli. Jackson refused, and allegedly punched Vargas in the face. Jose Miguel Vargas, another of the defendants, said that he and the others then intervened. Police say, however, that the men pummeled him with their fists and with a baseball bat. Police report that Nunez was not the person who wielded the baseball bat.
Although the men yelled racial slurs at Jackson, telling him to "go back to Africa," and calling him the N-word, police say that the case will probably not be tried as a hate crime.
In order to try Nunez under the hate crime statute, the genesis of the attack would have to be racial in nature, said one legal expert. Nassau County police say that the assault started not because Jackson is black, but because the men perceived that he was causing a problem at their place of business.
Racial activist Al Sharpton announced on Wednesday that he would hold a demonstration in Freeport demanding that officials declare the attack a bias case. A spokesperson for the Nassau County District Attorney's office, however, said that no decision has yet been made on how to proceed in the case. Several Rockaway activ ists have lined up to support Nunez. "I have known him for a long time, and I know that he's not a racist," said the Reverend Evan Gray. "That assault is not the Juan that I know, and I think that we have to wait for all the facts to come out before we condemn him." Nunez, 32, who lives in Freeport, was released after posting a $40,000 bond after his arraignment in the Mineola courthouse.
New York City police sources say that Nunez was immediately suspended without pay and ordered to surrender his service weapon.
If convicted, Nunez could face up to seven years in prison.

Thanks for the reply.

As for ducks, looking for puddlers mainly. Not opposed to divers but not sure if a boat blind is required. We might have mine ready in time for the trip. Thanks for your help.

Thread: Old Fashioned Offense
Old Fashioned Offense
I was on the way in to work today and heard Greg Cosell of NFL Matchup on Ross Tucker's show on Sirius XM NFL Radio. He made the following observations about the "tape" from the Texans game:
1. He thought he was looking at an offense from the 1960's.
2. He saw only isolation routes, which were not intended to shake coverage.
3. Man-press coverage will box receivers and make completions much harder.
4. None of the receivers broke away from coverage, and in that case it is more the receiver than the QB.
5. The Patriots will use man-press on Sunday since it is more effective against the offense that is called.
6. The offense was a very predictable one.
So all of this is obvious to a lot of people. In a fantasy world, I would hope that Cameron would play all of the routes that get receivers open and have not been used before because this is for all the marbles and needs a fresh approach. But watching him over the years I feel that we will see the standard plan that he feels will work, without adjustments. The game may be defined as the Patriots' coaching on defense against the Ravens' coaching on offense, rather than Brady against the defense.
My hope is that Cameron pulls a surprise package out of the briefcase and shocks the Patriots' defense. There have been examples of that against lesser opponents. It is time for him to do the best against the best. The defense can help by turnovers, but Cameron needs to step up. Control the clock, attack the weaknesses of the opposition, shake up the plan.
Does he have it in him?Captain Offense

Re: Old Fashioned Offense
THIS (in a nutshell) is the problem with Cameron - and why he will be replaced for the 2012 season. He's holding Joe back - literally and figuratively. He's playing football the way it was played 30 years ago. He's operating in a time warp. If the Ravens win it will be despite Cam - NOT BECAUSE OF HIM.
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
These are issues that Cam has had for 3 seasons now. I don't include the first season with Cam as the coordinator because with a rookie QB it was obvious that it was going to be more of a ball control offense and a power running game, which honestly sometimes I miss.
Everyone says that the success of THAT particular season's running game was because of Lo Neal at FB. Well, I'm sorry, but last I looked Vonta Leach is the best run blocking FB in the game...so where is the consistent power running game? It seems like most of the time when Cam calls for an unbalanced OL it is down on the goal line. Frankly, I miss the unbalanced OL and the heavy set OL being used multiple times throughout the game.
Secondly, the last 3 seasons the Ravens were lucky to have had Mason, who at the time may have been one of the best route runners in the league. That's why he was able to get open and find the soft spots in zone coverage. He didn't have a lot of wheels, but he could run a route. Same with Heap.
Again, just one more reason why I cannot wait for Cam to NOT be a part of this organization anymore. I will be disappointed if he is still the OC next year. Any Cam supporters out there, take heed in what Greg Cossell is saying. He's one of the best NFL analysts there are and he knows what he's talking about.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
So if we can assume the Patriots game-plan will most likely be 8 in the box with man-press coverage on the outside, does this not open up opportunities for the offense? Towards the end of the Texans game we saw some more slants to take advantage of the Texans LBers blitzing. If Torrey catches one of those in stride he's taking it to the house. Are the Patriots really going to be comfortable having man coverage if the Ravens have Torrey and Lee Evans out wide with Boldin in the slot? If Cameron knows the game plan is to take away Rice at any cost he should be able to install a winning game plan. And if the offensive line can hold up Flacco will make them pay.
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
Actually, Lee Evans should be a good contributor this weekend. Of all the players in the Ravens' locker room he is the most familiar with the Pats' defense. I surely hope that Cam is picking his brain this week.
Up until this season the guy face the Patriots twice a year every season he's been in the league.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Old Fashioned Offense
We've all heard this same story so many times. Anybody who still defends Cam is only doing so to open up the avenue to attack Flacco. That has become abundantly clear over this season and particularly the last few weeks.
With the Ravens offense, anytime something doesn't work, it's because the players didn't execute. Cam calls a play; 2 sideline routes for the outside WRs, short curl route for the TE, and the RB slides out to the flat for the dump-off. That's a prototype Cam Cameron play and you'll see some variation of that 15 or 20 times this coming Sunday.
To Cam and his disciples, anytime this play is called, it's a good play, regardless of the defense. The WRs on the sidelines just have to get open. It doesn't matter if it's Cover-2 and the DBs are going to be on those sideline routes like white on rice; the WRs still just need to execute and get open. It doesn't matter if the TE is pressed and bracketed; he still just has to get open. It doesn't matter if a LB is spying the RB everywhere on the field; he just has to get open.
For Cam's system to work, EVERY PLAYER has to win his individual matchup, the QB needs to throw at the correct time and to the correct spot, and there can't be any pressure in his face. It's just not realistic and again, it's not surprising that the system looks like something out of the 1960's (before zone coverage was even really widely played!)
Since the 1960's, offenses have developed so much primarily because they draw up plays that produce unexpected results and favorable matchups. Coaches have learned to put their players in a position that winning their 1 on 1 is possible, even likely. Cam does not believe that his job is to do this.
When you watch the Patriots offense, see how many times guys are WIDE OPEN because the scheme drew coverage somewhere else. It's not just all their weapons, it's coaches working hard and taking responsibility, not constantly putting everything on the players and "execution."

Re: Old Fashioned Offense
I don't think I have ever seen a bunch formation in the last 3 years. I am surprised the lack of crossing routes wasn't mentioned too.
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
This may be more hope than prediction on my part but I agree that Lee Evans may come up big on Sunday.
He's under the radar right now, justifiably. But we saw his talent in the preseason and it flashed again versus Houston. And as Wicked says, Evans is experienced and familiar with the Patriots.
Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin will draw the main attention. Does Lee Evans slip out from under that and make some plays? He might. I hope he does.
I also have a feeling that Dennis Pitta is going to make some clutch catches for us. He's another guy who won't attract the defense's primary attention.
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
Two points. The crossing route issue is related to the two-wide formations that are the staple of this offense. The idea is that it is on each receiver to win the one-on-one, not mixing up the routes to pull coverage and open up the receiver.
I know we do not have a lot on Evans this year, but I have a feeling that he is going to have a break-out game. There was a thread some time ago about surprise players in the playoffs, and I think it may be Lee.
Of course, it requires the playcalling to make it happen.Captain Offense
Re: Old Fashioned Offense
If they stack the box, which I totally expect they will, there should be tons of opportunities down the field. The Pats don't really get after the QB either. They had 40 sacks this year, which is decent, but that's also because the number of attempts against them was highly inflated.
The Ravens should come out firing, and I expect them too. That's what the did the last time they met, and it was effective until Cam went into "shell" mode after getting out to a double digit lead.
IMO the key to the offense is the line just giving Flacco time, and I think they will. This isn't Houston's or Pittsburgh's front seven.

Re: Old Fashioned Offense
Greg Cosell is best NFL analyst on the planet. If he says that Cam sucks, I believe him. This isn't the first time he's criticized Cam either. The receivers are in a system that makes it tougher for them to get open. This benefits no one. Cam needs to join Mike Martz in retirement.Putting the Fanatic back in Fan

Firefighter injured in Pueblo house blaze
PUEBLO, Colo. - A fire damaged a home and injured a firefighter late Thursday night.
The blaze occurred at a home on the 400 block of Broadway Avenue around 10 p.m.
The fire began in the basement of a multi-story home, according to Eric Knight, fire inspector with the Pueblo Fire Department.
Smoke billowed from outside the home throughout the neighborhood but vanished after about 20 minutes once the fire was extinguished.
Nobody was inside the home when the blaze ignited, Knight said.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
A firefighter was seen being taken away in an ambulance after battling the blaze.
According to the fire department, the firefighter is being held in the hospital for observation and is in stable condition.
Firefighters worked diligently to gain access to the home.
Witnesses who lived across the street said when the fire began, firefighters could be seen forcing the front door of the home open to gain access to the blaze.
Windows on the upper level of the home were broken so smoke could be vented from it.
The structure remained intact but damage was done to the inside.
Pueblo firefighter Chad Thomas battled the fire on Broadway.
He said accidents are going to happen when fighting a fire.
"Guys are running around the fire scene and trying to get things done in an efficient matter. Something like this is going to happen," he said.
Thomas said the Pueblo Fire Department is understaff and that could lead to more problems.
"Guys are wroking overtime to cover (fires). I mean guys are getting worn out and it's taking a toll on the job as a whole," he said.
Thomas said all he can do, until there are more firefighters, is work out, eat healthy, and prepare for the next fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Science Feature - June 2008
Tex Med. 2008;104(6):47-51.
By Ken Ortolon Senior Editor
On Dec. 6, 2006, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) expanded its newborn screening program. On Dec. 7, it saved a life.
That's the day workers in the DSHS Newborn Screening Laboratory tested blood smears from 2-week-old Jessie Neal. Within a week, his pediatrician had been notified, and little Jessie had been referred to a medical geneticist in Tyler.
"It was very overwhelming because I didn't know what was going on," said Christena Neal, Jessie's mother. "I just knew something was wrong, and they were saying to get him to the doctor ASAP."
Within a few more days, the geneticist confirmed a diagnosis that Jessie had medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency, a rare disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes fatty acids. Left untreated, it can cause sudden death.
"We did not even realize that we even had that in our family," Ms. Neal said. "His levels were so severe that had he not been caught with the newborn screening we probably would have lost him."
Getting in Tandem
MCAD is one of 20 new genetic disorders for which DSHS screens under a bill passed by the Texas Legislature in 2005. Previously, DSHS screened only for seven disorders, but the legislature authorized the agency to begin screening for all disorders on a core panel recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) as funds allowed. Lawmakers also provided $3.1 million in start-up funding for the project. (See " What They're Looking For .")
Susan M. Tanksley, PhD, manager of the DSHS Biochemistry and Genetics Branch, says the agency began a cost-effectiveness study soon after passage of the legislation. The results prompted DSHS to perform the expanded screening tests in its own laboratories using leased equipment rather than contracting with a private lab.
DSHS also decided it had enough money to screen for 20 of 21 conditions listed in the ACMG core panel that were not already included in the Texas newborn screening program. Cystic fibrosis is the only ACMG-recommended condition not in the new Texas screening program.
Beginning in mid-2006, DSHS leased 10 tandem mass spectrometer systems to test for 19 of the 20 new conditions, plus two additional devices known as multiprobes to test for biotinidase deficiency, an enzyme deficiency that can result in seizures, hearing loss, and death.
DSHS decided to lease the equipment rather than buy because of the high price tag, Dr. Tanksley says. "The tandem mass spectrometers themselves cost anywhere from about $250,000 to $300,000 each," she said. By leasing, upfront costs dropped considerably.
In addition to the new equipment, DSHS added 17 laboratory staff members to run the equipment and handle the increased volume of screens.
Screening for the disorders detected by the tandem mass spectrometers began on Dec. 6, 2006, while biotinidase deficiency screening began in January 2007.
David Martinez, manager of the DSHS Health Screening Branch, says the agency also hired 20 additional central office staff and 16 regional social workers to do case management follow-up on all children identified with an abnormal screen.
DSHS estimates there were slightly more than 400,000 births in Texas in 2007. Each child was screened twice. The first blood samples were taken within 48 hours of birth, with the second taken within two weeks. That means that more than 800,000 blood specimens were screened last year.
The specimens arrive at the DSHS lab in Austin as five blood blotches on a small card. Lynette Borgfeld, MT (ASCP), manager of the Newborn Screening Laboratory, says they require five separate blood samples to ensure a quality sample that provides enough blood for the initial screen and any follow-up testing.
Dr. Tanksley says the detection rate for the new disorders is extremely low - just 0.33 percent for the screens performed using tandem mass spectrometry and 0.03 percent for biotinidase deficiency.
According to a March DSHS newsletter [ PDF ], in 2007, technicians detected about 15,000 abnormal screens, and about 600 infants were diagnosed with one of the 27 disorders. But only about 70 of those cases involved the 20 newly screened disorders. Among those 70 were 16 cases of MCAD deficiency; 12 cases of profound or partial biotinidase deficiency; six cases of very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a fatty acid disorder that can cause seizures, coma, and death; and seven cases of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency, a metabolic disorder that can lead to accumulation of organic acids in the blood and urine.
Casting a Net
Dr. Tanksley says the screening process is not a diagnosis of disease.
"What we're doing is casting a net and trying to identify those at the highest risk of having a disorder," she said. Once a child is identified as being at risk, the case requires follow-up from the child's primary care physician or a specialist to make a diagnosis.
Some newborns, however, are not easy to track down, particularly when the family does not have a primary care physician, doesn't leave an address with the hospital, or moves shortly after the birth. In those cases, DSHS does whatever necessary to track down the infant and his or her family, says Paula Geurin, RN, team leader for the DSHS Endocrine Team.
"We pull out all the stops to find those children," she said, including checking for the family in crisscross directories, calling other families in the community with similar names, checking medical records to locate next of kin, and even enlisting the aid of local law enforcement officials. DSHS social workers have even tracked some families to Mexico and worked with physicians there to ensure proper follow-up testing and treatment.
Ms. Geurin says virtually all infants with abnormal screens are located and referred for follow-up to determine if a disease state exists.
Infrastructure Addressed?
The Texas Medical Association raised two concerns about the newborn screening expansion in 2005. The first was who would pay for the new screening. Few health plans covered newborn genetic screening then.
Corpus Christi medical geneticist Raymond C. Lewandowski Jr., MD, who serves as a consultant to the TMA Council on Scientific Affairs, says that is still a concern. Even though six Texas health plans now cover newborn screening, many physicians must pay the screening fees out of their own pocket, he says. (See " TMA Wins Reimbursement for Screening .")
The second concern is infrastructure. TMA and others feared Texas lacked the infrastructure to carry out the expanded screening and do the necessary follow-up to ensure that children get treatment. There also were concerns about access to necessary specialists to treat these infants and counsel their families.
Dr. Lewandowski says there is still a concern about poor geographic distribution of specialists, which means families in rural areas may have to travel long distances to get care.
"The underpopulated areas are not going to support those specialists, so people will have to travel to get the specialized care they need," he said. "The good thing is those specialists are used to coaching primary care physicians. So once the diagnosis is made and a protocol is set up, the primary care physician can provide the intervention and the specialist can help manage long distance."
He also says there still are concerns about whether DSHS is providing enough support to help primary care physicians deal with these kids.
Specifically, he says, primary care physicians need more guidance regarding the referral of children for specialty care. Many South Texas primary care physicians are immediately referring children with abnormal screens to Dr. Lewandowski, when specialty care really isn't needed, he says.
"Just yesterday I saw a child who is a sickle trait carrier, and the pediatrician recommended strongly that the family travel from Brownsville to Corpus to be told that there's no concern for their child at all," Dr. Lewandowski said. "It's a nonissue for the patient."
What Price Life?
While many of the genetic disorders DSHS now screens for are extremely rare, those involved in the screening believe the cost is worthwhile.
Eldridge T. Hutcheson, PhD, manager of the DSHS Laboratory Operations Unit, says the consequences can be profound for the children and their families if the genetic disorders are not identified.
"It completely ruins their lives, the lives of their parents," he said.
Dr. Tanksley says the cost of caring for these children over a lifetime can run into millions of dollars. Treatment, however, can be as simple as a change in diet.
"Most of the disorders are treated fairly simply with a change in diet, vitamins, and supplements," Ms. Geurin said. "It's not expensive treatment, but it has to occur fairly quickly."
Dr. Tanksley says for a disorder such as MCAD "not knowing is essentially fatal. And knowing means the child can basically lead a normal life. They just have to eat very often because they can't convert fat to energy."
Ms. Neal says Jessie must adhere to a very strict diet that limits his fat intake and maintains a high blood sugar level. But if he ever gets sick and won't eat, he must be taken to the hospital to be fed intravenously.
" We do all this work for one child. If you save one child's life, isn't that priceless?" Ms. Geurin asked.
Ms. Neal thinks so. "I can't even imagine how I would be right now if I had lost him."

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) now tests all infants born in Texas for 27 genetic disorders, including 20 the Texas Legislature added in 2005.

Thanks to the Texas Medical Association, six of the state's largest insurers reimburse physicians for the cost of newborn genetic screening that increased when the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) raised the fee from $19.50 to $29.50 per test. DSHS increased the fee when it expanded the screening program in 2006.
Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, CIGNA, Humana, UniCare, and UnitedHealthcare agreed to cover the higher cost after TMA contacted the companies about adjusting their fee schedules.
To be reimbursed, physicians must use the HCPCS code S3620 - the Newborn Metabolic Screening Panel. It includes the test kit, postage, and the laboratory tests specified by the state.
For more information, e-mail the TMA Knowledge Center or call (800) 880-7955 or (512) 370-1550.
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has received a three-year grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop evidence-based performance measures for newborn screening programs.
The Texas Newborn Screening Performance Measures Project received $329,000 for the first year of the project, launched in September 2007. Susan M. Tanksley, PhD, manager of DSHS's Biochemistry and Genetics Branch, is the lead investigator on the project. She says the goal is to develop a model for systematic and continuous quality assessment of those parts of the newborn screening process that come before and after the actual laboratory analysis of blood specimens. This includes collection, transportation, and receipt of blood specimens, case management follow-up on infants with abnormal screens, education of physicians and other health care professionals, and parental education.
DSHS statistics show 96.9 percent of all babies born in Texas had at least one screen in fiscal 2006. That means roughly 12,000 newborns were not screened.
Also, with more than 2,300 birthing facilities and health care practitioners submitting more than 800,000 specimens each year, ongoing educational efforts are always needed to address issues with specimen quality, timely submission and reporting, physician notifications, patient diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing evaluation, DSHS officials say.
Dr. Tanksley says DSHS assembled a team of 21 physicians, parents, state Medicaid officials, a geneticist, a health insurance representative, nurses, and social workers who will meet quarterly throughout the project. They will help DSHS officials develop and define performance measures that reveal gaps in or barriers to timely and effective treatment of infants diagnosed with genetic disorders. The team will then design a pilot program to test the effectiveness of those performance measures and recommend steps likely to improve the performance of the newborn screening process.
Dr. Tanksley says DSHS will have to reapply for additional funding for each year of the project, but she hopes the department will receive roughly the same amount for the second and third years of the project as it received for the first year.
Texas physicians and other health care professionals can learn more about newborn screening and earn continuing medical education (CME) credit online for free.
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Texas Health Steps program have created educational modules for physicians and physician assistants, nurses, midwives, social workers, and others that provide an overview of the entire newborn screening process and the often-rare disorders the program identifies.
The goal is to prepare physicians and other health care professionals to deliver timely and appropriate screening for all newborns in Texas, correctly interpret and act upon the results of the screening, and explain the screening process and its results to parents.
Specific objectives of the course include identifying the steps for collecting and submitting blood specimens, learning the basic characteristics of the 27 disorders for which Texas newborns are screened, and learning about resources available to physicians to help them ensure prompt follow-up evaluations and confirmatory testing for newborns with abnormal screens.
The online CME module is posted online . The Newborn Resource Center on the TMA Web site has additional information on newborn screening, including a link to the CME module.
DSHS also has extensive information on newborn screening . That information includes quick reference materials on newborn screening disorders for physicians and other health care professionals, fact sheets and frequently asked questions for parents, samples of the newborn screening collection form, and much more.
Margaret Bruch, LCSW, DSHS unit manager for health screening and case management, says the department also has educators available to provide in-service training for hospitals, physician offices, clinics, and other facilities.

"Urban Fabric: Building New York's Garment District" opens on Wednesday, July 25 at the Skyscraper Museum
Tue Jul 24 2012
NYC may be the city that's always reinventing itself, but one visit to the Skyscraper Museum's latest exhibition, "Urban Fabric: Building New York's Garment District," reveals some little-known history beneath the bustling surface. "Urban Fabric" teaches visitors about the Garment District skyscrapers on Seventh Avenue that once housed the city's clothing manufacturing industry. Built in the 1920s, these high-rise lofts contained factories that produced almost all women's and children's apparel nationwide and featured a unique, pyramid-shaped architectural style. The exhibit explores these historic structures and describes the history of the Garment District and its role in manufacturing. One of the best ways for kids to take in the show is at , the family program on August 11. Participants will learn about the Garment District from a kid-friendly point of view, and can take part in creative activities pertaining to the design of factory buildings. Not only will mini architects get to design and build their own model factories and even play manufacturer, they'll get to decide which products their factory will make while supervising their production.
"Urban Fabric: Building New York's Garment District" is on view at the Skyscraper Museum from July 25 through January 20, 2013.

Beneath that rough, flaky outer layer of facial skin lies a lustrous canvas of beautiful, silky skin. But it won't shine on its own – you've got to give it a little help by exfoliating regularly to regenerate your skin and encourage new cell growth.
There are so many different kinds of skin that it's impossible to create a one-size-fits-all facial. Some skin is so sensitive that exfoliation needs to be extremely gentle. But other types of skin need more work to achieve a complete exfoliation.
With sun exposure and aging, the outermost layer of the skin starts to build up. For a good exfoliation, the skin needs purifying ingredients such as tea tree oil and lemon grass or other products that will remove this build up.

Diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss involves testing to determine the type of hearing loss and using that information to make recommendations about appropriate treatment. In many cases, hearing aids can be used to restore lost hearing and improve quality of life. Our audiologists and physicians work as a team to provide the best recommendations regarding hearing aids and their potential benefit as well as to treat medical conditions that may be contributing to hearing loss. We have a large selection of hearing aids of various technologies and styles to provide individualized solutions for each patient.
I Don't Hear Well. What Should I Do? What Should I Expect?
Because some hearing problems can be medically corrected, first visit a physician who can refer you to an otolaryngologist (an ear, nose, and throat specialist ). If you have ear pain, drainage, excess earwax, hearing loss in only one ear, sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss, or dizziness, it is especially important that you see an otolaryngologist. Then, get a hearing assessment from an audiologist (a nonphysician health care professional). A screening test from a hearing aid dealer may not be adequate. Many otolaryngologists have an audiologist associate in their office who will assess your ability to hear pure tone sounds and to understand words. The results of these tests will show the degree of hearing loss and whether it is conductive or sensorineural and may give other medical information about your ears and your health.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
John Aitchison presents the wigeon. Wigeon are dabbling ducks and related to mallards and teal but unlike these birds Wigeon spend much of their time out of the water grazing waterside pastures with their short blue-grey bills. The drakes are handsome-looking birds with chestnut heads and a cream forehead which contrasts well with their pale grey bodies.
John Aitchison recorded a flock of wigeon, for Tweet listeners, on a pool in Norfolk where they had found a safe place to roost on an island.

While Tony Stewart's Sprint car crash in Canada has been making headlines, he's not the only NASCAR Sprint Cup driver taking on some extracurricular racing this week. Clint Bowyer, who is second in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings, took a bit of a break this week. He headed to his home state of Kansas on Tuesday night to compete in Mod Mania at RMP Speedway in Hays. Bowyer fell short of the win, finishing third to Clint Bowyer Racing driver Jared Landers in the Modified division race. But he found himself caught up in some of the rough-and-tumble action. "It was fun, but it was a rough one, wow," Bowyer told KWCH.com. "It's been a long time since I've been on a track that rough." Landers won by crossing the line sideways, according to the report. "Never had a finish like that," Landers said, according to the report. "I was like, 'We gonna make it all right,' but then we just finished the rest of his car off." The pair was on hand to help promote Bowyer's sponsor, Crawford Suppl...

Ruth Bergan: As in 2005, before the global financial crisis, the new G8 trade deals promote liberalisation at the expense of the poorest
Growth is an important measure in the fight against global poverty, but David Cameron is wrong if he thinks it is a panacea

David Harewood: My experience in Kenya inspired me to become involved in the 'If' campaign. Obama and Cameron could make a difference
Joanna Rea: The G8 launched a food security initiative at Camp David, but, with commitments made at previous summits yet to be realised, the world's leaders need to be even more ambitious

Skye and return to Edinburgh
... Lunch in Fort Agusta, on the south end of Loch Ness. The sun was bright and pleasant and we enjoyed walking around the very cute village. A few stops for pictures and a visit to the famous Commando Memorial near the base of Ben Nevis, UK's tallest mountain, clear today but which was shrouded in mist on Wednesday. There were a few clouds at the peak, but still a lovely sight. And now, the drive back to ...

The highway to Glasgow was beautiful and lush. We stopped for a little hike amidst the highlands and on our way up we heard bagpipes echoing through the valley. It was quintessentially Scotland!

- - Scratching and itching. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/450314-scratching-itching.html)
Scratching and itching.
My six year old Shadow has been scratching and licking him self. I have tried but many things but no solution. He is very playful and while he play doesn't scratchnor lick but when he stops he starts to go to town on him self. He has a low tyroid and he take medicine everyday. I feel so bad for him. I feed him wellness core and only natural treats. He also has problems with his ears time to time.
I had the same problem with both of mine. Vet said it was scabies due to the fox population. Spent $115 for the treatment and they're still scratching and licking. Now vet says it's an allergy which is what I thought from the start and told me to use Zyrtec. So I'll give that a try and see if it works.
As a side note, my male itched so bad but couldn't get to it. As a result, he could only get as far as the end of his tail that he licked so much, he actually had exposed bone showing. I got it healing up nicely now. Make sure Shadow doesn't do the same.
My guy had seven years of "Non Specific allergies' and an annual shot for 7 years. I started feeding and rubbing Coconut oil on him and the itchiness has all but stopped.
He had vet perscribed Fish oil and it never seemed to make a difference, the Coconut oil has! At the very minimum...couldn't hurt. :)
Ironhide Kennels: Spice of Life: Coconut Oil
Sounds like he could be a bit yeasty if his ears bug him too?
Maybe try doing a rinse on his coat with organic apple cider vinegar (with mother), and you can add a teaspoon of ACV to his feed once a day too. I'm assuming your dog is kibble fed? This can make their skin a bit alkaline, the ACV should help. I think it's one cup of ACV with 1 gallon of water for the rinse.
What food are you feeding? If you are not on a grain free formula, maybe try that out?
Is the itching year round, or seasonal?
I commented to you on gibby's thread - your 1st post, not sure if you saw this so copying to your thread
1 - diet change - no carbs, RAW is the only way to do this
2 - look into "Armour" it is a scripted thyroid med but is made from "dissicated thyroid" and works on the T3 and T4, synthetics are only T4
Studies say that natural form is preferred (49% vs. 12% synthetic, other of no opinion either way)...with less side effects
Yes to the "raw, organic, cold pressed, hexane free" Coconut oil.
1tsp/10lbs of body weight, work up slowly as this causes yeast die-off which produce toxins, could overwhelm your dog if too much too soon.
Natural Thyroid 101 | Stop The Thyroid Madness
I have girl with thyroid issues as well, before treatment she was constantly scratching herself, she always had bad ears - red sore and always scratching them.
I have since put her on Oroxine (similar to Thyorixine), depending on how bad she is as it can flare up especially in hot humid weather, she gets 1 to 1.5 tablets twice a day. She no longer has bad ears and rarely scratches.
The other thing I found helpful was giving organic virgin coconut oil twice a day, they get about 2 tablespoons now, although started them on 1 teaspoon. CO helps as well. Also organic dried seaweed helps with thyroid
If he has thyroid issues and it is hot and humid where you live, you might have to increase his medication.
He's itchy all year round but I noticed when he is in ac he is a bit better.

Grow lush grass, even if your lawn looks worn out and unhealthy. By using a combination of soil additives, fertilizers, and tender, loving care, you can change your lawn from scraggly to golf-course green in one season.
Following Mr. Lawn's advice, we worked on the lawn shown here. In March, it had dead patches of grass caused by voles. By August, the grass over the entire lawn was so thick we felt like we were walking on shag carpet. And the lawn looked great too (see lead photo). It was noticeably greener than the neighboring yards. We spent about $250 on supplies.
Achieving a lush lawn doesn't have to be a constant struggle. And you don't have to pay big bucks for a lawn service to douse your yard with chemicals either. Growing healthy, green grass is mainly just a matter of knowing what to give your lawn, and when to give it.
In this story, we'll show you what to do in the spring, summer and fall to get a lawn so nice you could cut it up and sell it as sod. These steps will work for any yard, regardless of climate or soil type. The products shown in this article are available at lawn and garden centers and some home centers.
We worked with lawn care expert George Dege, better known as Mr. Lawn. He has been teaching lawn care classes since the 1970s and has helped thousands of homeowners improve their lawns. As the third-generation owner of a lawn and garden center, he has been in the lawn care business "forever."
Gravel and sand hinder grass growth, so vacuum them up. Start along the street and vacuum into the yard until you no longer hear stones getting sucked up. Then do the same thing along the driveway.
To apply the right amount of fertilizer, measure from the wheel to the edge of the dispersal pattern. Then space your passes across the lawn so the coverage overlaps by 6 to 8 in. Do this test every time you spread a new product.
Park your spreader over a tarp or your driveway when filling the hopper. Spills and leaks can saturate one spot of your lawn and kill your grass.
Chicken manure is rich in nitrogen, which is a key nutrient for a healthy lawn. No need to get your own flock—it's a whole lot easier to just buy it by the bag.
Soil activator helps retain water in sandy soils and loosens clay soils. It also helps aerate the soil, decompose grass clippings and reduce erosion.
Soil activator is available at lawn and garden centers.
Once the grass starts turning green, it's time to start your lawn care. That's usually mid to late March for Northerners, early March for Southerners. Don't fret if your lawn is slow to green up. That's good. The thicker the lawn, the less sunlight that reaches the individual blades and the longer it takes for the grass to turn green.
Get rid of the stones and sand that the snowplow or snow blower threw into your yard over the winter. Raking isn't effective—you'll only get about 15 percent of the stones and pebbles. Instead, use a shop vacuum (Photo 1).
The snow piles that sat on your lawn all winter compacted the soil. You can loosen the soil and improve water penetration by applying gypsum (a 40-lb. bag covers 200 sq. ft.). Test your broadcast spreader's dispersal pattern on your driveway. Fill the hopper, set the spread rate so the holes are wide open for gypsum and walk at your normal speed. Then measure how far the gypsum is dispersed on each side of the spreader (Photo 2). This tells you the distance to move over with each row when you're spreading—you want the spread patterns to overlap by 6 to 8 in. Broadcast spreaders always "throw" farther on the right side than they do the left. You don't need to spread gypsum over the entire lawn; just 10 ft. back from the street and the driveway.
For your spring and summer mowings, cut just the top third of the grass. So if your grass is 3 in. high, take 1 in. off the top. Mowing more than one-third stresses the grass. You can mow the grass shorter in the fall.
Between your second and third mowings, apply a lawn fertilizer with slow-release (time release) nitrogen (a 20-lb. bag covers 5,000 sq. ft.). Always fill your spreader over a tarp or driveway (Photo 3). Follow the spread rate listed on the fertilizer bag and spread it on the entire lawn.
Fifteen days after applying the fertilizer, spread soil activator on the lawn (Photo 4; a 40-lb. bag covers 4,000 sq. ft.).
Set a cake pan halfway between your sprinkler and the edge of the spray pattern. Watch your clock to see how long it takes the sprinkler to fill the pan with 3/8 in. of water. Water for that amount of time three times a week, unless it rains.
If you don't have an automatic sprinkler, an inexpensive timer frees you from watching the clock every time you water. The timer controls the sprinkler, so you'll be sure the lawn gets the proper amount of water.
Gypsum and water are the antidote for dog spots in your yard. Gypsum neutralizes the dog urine, and the water soaks the area for new grass seed. If you treat the brown spots early, your grass won't die.
Apply crabgrass preventer to any areas where crabgrass previously grew. A hand spreader is perfect for small areas, like along the pavement where crabgrass tends to grow.
Proper watering is crucial to a healthy lawn. The best time to water is early morning, when the sun starts to rise. You lose some water to evaporation in the middle of the day. And watering at night leaves the grass wet too long, which can cause fungus and other diseases in the summer.
Give your lawn 3/8 in. of water three times a week. Calculate the amount of time it takes your sprinkler to dispense that much water (Photo 5). Set a timer (sold at home centers and lawn and garden centers) on your hose spigot so you won't have to watch the clock (Photo 6). Increase from 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. when the daytime temperatures are above 80 degrees F.
If you have bare spots in your lawn caused by your dog, sprinkle gypsum on the spot and saturate it with water (Photo 7). Plant new grass seed in the bare spots and keep it watered.
Crabgrass will grow when the soil warms up to 55 degrees F. Apply a crabgrass preventer to keep that nasty weed from coming back. Timing is everything. If you apply the preventer too early, it will be ineffective. And once the seeds germinate, it's too late. In northern states, late April is the best time. Mid-March is recommended for southern states. Check with a local garden center to find the best time for your area.
Apply the preventer wherever you had crabgrass the previous year, which is typically along the street, driveway and sidewalk (Photo 8).
In mid-May, give your lawn its second application of lawn fertilizer.
Don't treat the entire lawn if you have just a few weeds. A pump sprayer is more economical than buying spray bottles. Be sure there's no rain in the forecast for 24 hours.
Use a dial sprayer hooked up to your hose to kill large areas of weeds. Spray the herbicide on a calm day so the weed killer won't drift onto your plants and flowers.
By midsummer, you should notice a thicker, greener lawn. You'll probably also notice weeds. Spot-kill patches of weeds with an herbicide in a handheld pressure sprayer (Photo 9).
If weeds are popping up all over the lawn, spray them with a dial sprayer (sold at home centers and lawn and garden centers). Pour concentrated herbicide into the sprayer and hook it up to your garden hose. Turn the dial on the top of the sprayer to the setting recommended on the herbicide container (such as 2 tablespoons per gallon of water). Then spray the weeds (Photo 10).
In mid-August, you could give your lawn a third application of fertilizer, but chicken manure works even better because it contains more nitrogen, which gives the grass a healthy, green look (there's hardly any odor). Mr. Lawn is a fan of Chickity Doo Doo because it also contains 9 percent calcium, which improves root growth. (A 40-lb. bag covers 4,000 sq. ft. Chickity Doo Doo or other brands are available at lawn and garden centers.) Within two or three days of applying the manure, you'll see the lawn really green up.
Mow the grass short at the end of the year. This reduces the chance that your lawn will get snow mold and vole damage.
Don't neglect your lawn as the growing season comes to an end. It's important to keep treating your soil before the grass goes dormant for the winter. In early to mid September, apply soil activator over your yard, just as you did in the spring.
Two weeks after that, give your lawn its final application of fertilizer for the year. Use a winterizer fertilizer (a 40-lb. bag covers 10,000 sq. ft.). This specialized fertilizer has more potassium to help the grass roots grow deeper, which lets the roots absorb and store nutrients until the ground freezes. When the ground warms up in the spring, the grass uses those nutrients to jump-start its growth.
Keep mowing your lawn until the grass stops growing. Even in Minnesota, that sometimes doesn't happen until the first part of December. On your final mowing of the year, cut the grass to 1 to 1-1/2 in. high (Photo 11).
Now you're done caring for your lawn until spring!
"Soil activator
contains humate,
a natural product
that's older than
dinosaurs. This is
one of the best
things you can
put on your lawn."
—Mr. Lawn
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a cake pan, a watering timer, a pump sprayer, a dial sprayer, a hose and a lawnmower.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
