Blessed with another beautiful autumn weekend to enjoy with lots of activities to look forward to: the Pumpkin Patch (pick out your own pumpkin) at the Breezy Point Firehouse next Saturday. The Halloween Theatre Production at the Rockaway Theatre at Fort Tilden, Oct. 27 and 28. The Rockaway Artist Alliance Gallery Art Splash at Ft. Tilden held their opening reception this past weekend from noon to 4 p.m. with great success. A large turnout enjoyed the Gallery exhibits as well as songs by April Greene and Joanne Marnick and musicians, Patrick Grace and Grey Rebel.
It was with great relief to find the Breezy Point Drug Awareness program is still being held every Tuesday evening. We have been late in starting this, but thank God we are now taking an active part in bringing to our youth the dangers and pitfalls of drug abuse. Lets keep our Rockaway neighborhoods clean of this menace and clear the way for safe years for our children.
A jolly reunion took place at Kennedy's on the Bay for Breezy Pointer, Anna Moriarity, daughter, Ann Marie Moriarity from Manhattan, Sales Director for Conde Nast magazines, Mary McEvay from Brooklyn and Helen Forcine from Putnam Valley, N.Y. John and Sarah Duffy from Reid Ave. are proud of their five children who all graduated from college. Kathleen just received her BS from St. Francis College and Kevin from Brooklyn College and all are doing very well.
While on the subject of artists, 42nd Cipriani's welcomed the many, many loyal supporters of Americans for the Arts, National Arts Awards. It was a fabulous black tie gala filled with celebrity members to applaud the 2002 winners of National Leadership in the arts. Mayor Bloomberg was present to address this outstanding audience who honored David Rockefeller, Alberto Vilar, Pinchas Zukerman, Cindy Sherman, Natalie Portmen, BRAVO, the film and arts network and Institute of Museum and Library Services. Honorary Chairman First Lady, Libby Pataki, Mrs. Randolph Hearst, Chairman, Robert Lynch, President and CEO.
Milling through the crowds I caught glimpses of Silvia Styles, Helen Gurley Brown, Beverly Sills, past recipient, and many, many others. Americans for the Arts offers more than 200 publications available for purchase. Books and tool kits of topics such as arts education, community development and management. Each year they survey local arts agencies in all 50 largest cities and nearly 70 communities. The entire local arts agency field is surveyed every three years and works are offered for purchase through Americans for Art publications. Members of the Rockaway Artist Alliance should align themselves with Americans for the Arts and attend this star-studded award dinner next year. Who knows? Maybe one of the artists from the Rockaway Artist Alliance may be a winner someday. This gala event will be seen early January 2003 on BRAVO.
WICI is Women in Communication, Inc. an organization that brings together a sisterhood of women in the communicating business or those who wish to find work in that field and who wish to get connected with those who can help them climb that corporate ladder. It was a stimulating meeting held at the Roosevelt Hotel where I met a number of giving women who have shared their success with aspiring others who seek their advice.
Indonesia, according to our State Department is not, unfortunately, the place in which to travel at this time. However, the Consul General of Indonesia invited travel agents and press to a beautiful reception at the Indonesia Consulate. A video was shown of certain parts of Indonesia (it consists of many, many islands, Bali being the most beautiful). It is a fascinating country and most certainly ideal for tourism. A perfect spot for your next vacation. When our government gives the clearance this is one place you should visit. And, I will be one of the first to promote it.
Wings over Wall St Gala fundraiser for the dread disease, ALS that condemns a patient to three to five years of life once diagnosed was held at the Marriott Marquis this week and was hosted by Billy Baldwin. This event was mentioned in my column a few months back and I do hope some of you were able to attend. It was jammed with people who enjoyed the food and libation and the fun of bidding at the silent and live auction. Their goal was to reach one million dollars to directly benefit research teams of Hiroshi Mitsumoto, MD of the Eleanor and Lou Gherig, MDA/ALS Center at Columbia University, and Jeffrey Rubinstein, MD of the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at John Hopkins. For their next event contact Amanda Silverman, PMK/HBH.

The Blizzard in LeedsMonday 19th November
The next Blizzard Q&A event will take place on the evening of Wednesday 28th November at Waterstones' Albion Street branch in Leeds. The evening will be chaired by Marcus Speller of the Football Ramble, and the panel includes editor of The Blizzard, Jonathan Wilson, as well as Blizzard contributors Philippe Auclair and Anthony Clavane. It will give you the chance to put your questions to our experts, and pick their brains on the topic(s) of your choice.
Tickets are free, and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. As a thank-you for their support, our subscribers (both digital and hard-copy) have first refusal on reserving their places. Each subscriber is entitled to two free tickets, and should reserve them by emailing their name(s) to email@example.com by 19th October. Please note that we are unable to accept any "+1s", as we need to provide Waterstones with the names of all who are attending.
Non-subscribers will be able to reserve their places from 20th October onwards, subject to availability.
Doors will open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, and we expect the event to last for around an hour. There will be a cash bar available on the night. As with previous events we will be covering the evening live on Twitter, but there are no confirmed plans to record/broadcast the event as yet. Any news on videos, etc, will be updated here.
If you have any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com, otherwise we look forward to seeing you on our first trip to Yorkshire.
To Jonathan;
Question: what qualifies you to talk so expansively on football tactics?
Context: Not that these are the benchmark standard, but I would be interested to hear if you have done any of The FA's coaching courses, for example? If yes, what were you key learnings from your experiences?
To the panel
Question: For England to do well at major tournaments, it seems obvious that The Premier League ought to take joint accountability for the English representative teams - do you think this is a realistic proposition to put forward to football stakeholders and if not why not?
Context: if the PL will not do this then the FA should be asked, 'what is the point of international football?'
To Phillipe:
Question: Do you think football in England has a credibility problem?
Context: wages as a % of income, quality, inclusion and diversity,
To the panel:
Question - How much price elasticity is there in the market for match tickets and pay TV once the new TV deal kicks in and the £3Bn investment has to be re-couped somehow (ROI)?
Context: I can't see that clubs pricing some fans out of the game will end well. Jonathan said at a previous Blizzard event about how to determine successful football (i.e. competitive league, success in Europe, success internationally), I would add a further criterion - customer service! Germany appear leagues ahead in terms of corporate social responsibility.
To the panel:
Question: I read the recent LMA survey (Annual Castrol LMA European Managers and Coaches Survey) with interest. In section 5.2 (Refeering) to what extent do the panel agree that the real question should now be whether the marketing and money in the game has overtaken the limits of officiating it?
Context: The law of unintended consequences...
Blatter and Platini maintain that the game ought to be the same from the elite end to grass roots, but if decisions are demonstrably and frequently wrong - as is proven time and again by TV camera evidence - then surely this in itself is bringing the game into disrepute? I have wondered from time to time if I could bring a test case against IFAB (International Football Association Board, responsible for the laws of the game) for football perjury. What do you think?

Got a prescription for Hydroxyzine 50mg for Einstein. he's been on it for a while, but just wondering with the large quantity in this prescription if anyone knows the cheapest way to get them?
So far I was quoted for 200 count:

Pole Barn
I have a Metal Pole Barn that was wrapped with a type of Insulation that has reflective materal facing the steel and a Bubble Wrap (Plastic?). My problem is, I installed Gas Vent Free Heaters this winter and I have Water at times dripping down the walls. What can I do to stop this from happening?
Buy a dehumidifyer from Lowes or HD. They run about $100 for a good one run it 24/7 and empty the bucket or run a small drain hose. They have a float switch so they will not over flow.
Pole Barn
Thanks for the reply, I have already installed a dehumidfider and it did help a lot. My equipment in the shop seems to be staying dry. However you can see the walls and wood rails are staying wet. I do not have inside walls yet and I am worryed that installing more insulation and then adding drywall I might keep the mositure inside the wall. Any thoughts??
thanks :confused1:
I know this is more of a question than an answer, but thought it might help.
It's cold outside so when you heat the inside so the metal is sweating like a cold glass of water does. I'm wondering if you took that cold glass of water and wrapped it with some r-13 would it still sweat? So on that note I wonder if you beef up the insulation on your barn and tape the joints so the warm air can't get to the metal would that help?
I rented a warehouse one time and used it to paint a couple of cars. It was a metal building sitting on a concrete slab and had fiberglass insulation with white plastic on the inside. There were two panels in the ceiling that were clear plastic, I guess to let light in during the day. I heated the area with a forced air ready heater and the two clear panels are the only thing I remember sweating. It was about ten years ago and I didn't pay much attention to if it was sweating under the insulation or not.
Wish I could be of more help, just wanted to share my thoughts.

Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 90% of its metal finish. The front edge of the barrel and barrel band, the top of the front sight and the front edges of the square part of the barrel show surface loss. The barrel and frame show a few scattered handling marks. The right front edge and right lower edge of the frame show surface loss, and the front and back straps show thinning. The side of the takedown lever and the serrations on the safety and the back edges of the slide show surface loss. The grip screw heads show marks of a screwdriver but are still sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this handgun rates in about Fine condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this handgun.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with one magazine and a holster. The magazine is blued with surface loss on the edges. It is in overall Excellent condition. The holster is a brown leather period holster with cleaning rod and magazine loading tool. It has separate pouches: one on the front (forward) edge for a magazine, one on the outside surface for the cleaning rod, and one under the top cover for the magazine tool. The holster has a top cover with a leather hinge, and is retained by a strap riveted to its outside surface and held by a buckle rived to the outside of the holster. The outside surface of the top cover is marked with a boxed "SA", and the rear of the holster has 2 one inch wide belt loops.

Overall, the holster is in Fine condition. The cleaning rod has a finger loop at the top and a slot for a patch at the bottom. Both the rod and the magazine loading tool are blued, and both show thinning. Both are in Excellent condition.
Our Assessment: This is an interesting looking pistol with many Luger similarities. The Series 4 pistols were made after WWII and after VKT changed its name to Valmet, with parts left over from WWII production stocks. They were intended for commercial sales. One major difference between the Series 3 and 4 pistols was the markings on the top flat of the barrel denoting the name change. This pistol is in great condition and with matching numbers. Please see http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/PISTOLS1.htm for more detail than we could ever include here. Complete with holster and all the necessary accessories, this pistol should have high interest by WWII collectors and collectors of Finnish firearms.

You guys think the Giants beat them had they beat SF last year in the playoffs?
I also hate Brees pre-game chant. He made me laugh when he yelled that they "own the division"! Really? Atl was 10-1 & NO,5-6, but they owned the division? Talk about being in denial.
We owe that team such an a%^ beating that if TC starts running the ball with us up by 14+ , I will go beserk! NO & NE are the 2 most merciless teams in the NFL when it comes to running up the score on teams & embarassing them. We need to return the favor & stomp them 47-10!
Last year the Saints were going for passing records by running up the score. I remember they threw a touchdown pass with under 2 minutes to go against Atlanta to get Brees one of the passing records.
We didn't get the first down either, I was agitated because I wanted to see us above 40, and a field goal would have been fine.
TC did the right thing.
Did you ever hear "Fly Eagles Fly"?

I Recently Had Implants Removed. I'm Considering a Lift. How Long Should I Wait Before Deciding?
I Recently Had Implants Removed. I'm Considering a Lift. How Long Should I Wait Before Deciding?
Doctor Answers 14
When Should I Get A Breast Lift After Having My Implants Removed?
Dear Ana,
There are times when a breast lift may/can be performed at the time of implant removal. This is usually part of the pre-op discussion before the implants are removed. However, many times, we are not able to determine with certainty that a lift may be needed. In these cases we remove the implants and then wait and see how your breasts recover. This can be decided as soon as 1-2 months but usually requires 3-4 months. Be sure to continue to follow up with your surgeon. Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.mpsmn.com/dr-gervais
Breast lift after implant removal
When breast implants are removed, it is sometimes quite obvious preoperatively that a patient will need a breast lift. Often the breast lift can be performed at the same time as the implant removal. If a simulaneous breast lift was not done, patients should wait a minimum of 3-6 months before moving forward with a breast lift. However, for some patients it can take up to 9-12 months for the skin to contract completely.
Timing for a possible breast lift following an explantation
My experience has been that waiting until around 6 months after explantation would provide you with a more accurate idea of the ultimate shape and probable droopiness of your breasts. At 3 months, there is still a lot of inflammation present as part of the normal healing process which may lead to less accurate long term results if surgery were performed at that time. Obviously, there are variabilities between individuals so that 6 months is not necessarily a hard and fast "rule" for everyone. Of course, you can wait far in excess of 6 months before pursuing an appropriate breast procedure.
Web reference: http://www.turkeltaub.com
You might also like...
Timing a breast lift after implants
At the minimum three to six months should be enough time to judge the need for a breast lift whether removing breast implants, or after breast augmentation. If you are undecided, longer can be better to give yourself adequate time to let your breast recover, and carefully consider the need for a lift. Breast lift means breast scars so it pays to be certain.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com
Web reference: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com/breast-lift
Breast lift following implant removal
If you are unsure if you want a lift or not, I would wait 3-6 months. If you are certain you would like the extra skin removed and the breasts lifted, this can be done anytime. There may be some fluctuations in size early on if the pockets produce a little seroma (fluid collection). This typically resolves in a few weeks or so. Ask your surgeon his or her recommendation on what would be best for you with your aesthetic goals in mind.
Wait 3 Months Before Lift
Wait 3-6 months before deciding to have a breast lift, after removing implants.
While some may choose to do the lift at the same time as removal of the implants, if you have just removed the implants, you should allow adequate time for healing, before having another procedure. This will allow swelling to resolve and skin to adjust, to best design the breast lift.
Web reference: http://drzwiebel.com/breast-lift-denver/
Lift after implants removed
If you just had implants removed, I would wait at least 4-6 months before undergoing a formal lift to allow the tissue to heal, the pockets to close, and the tissues to soften.
Timing of breast lift after implant removal
Dear Ana, I agree with my colleagues and wait approximately three to six months before deciding if you need to consider a breast lift. Your post operative swelling should have subsided by this time and you will have a good idea of the long term shape and position of your breasts. Best of luck.
Web reference: http://www.VincentLeporeMD.com
Wait 3-6 months after Removal of Implants Before Lift
Hi there-
It is important to wait this time period to allow healing of the breast tissues before further manipulation. Be sure your breast lift surgeon understands what has been done to you in the past (if it is not the same surgeon).
Web reference: http://www.mommymakeoverorlando.com/Mommy_Makeover/What_is_a_Mommy_Makeover.html
Mastopexy after Explant
I would recommend waiting a minimum of 3 months to give the breast tissue a chance to remodel. This will allow for a more accurate breast lift. Other variables may come into play including implant placement, length of time they have been in place and tissue elasticity. Discuss these things with you qualified surgeon at your consultation.

Three "one pot" meth labs found on Piney Level Road
Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong said three meth labs were found this afternoon, and one suspect faces multiple meth charges as a result of these labs as well as others in the area over the past few weeks.
The suspect, Eric Calvin Cable, 31, Piney Level Road, Maryville, was taken by Rural/Metro Ambulance Service to University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment to injuries sustained from a prior accident.
Investigators with the Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force responded to Cable's residence following a series of leads that led them to Cable. After receiving consent to search the house, investigators found two separate meth labs in the basement as well as another lab located in a bag a short distance from the residence. The labs were neutralized at the scene, and the Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force arrived on the scene to dispose of the hazardous material. Cable was decontaminated at the scene and taken to U.T. Medical Center by Rural/Metro. Another resident was not charged. The house was quarantined.
The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force is aggressively investigating all meth-related crimes as a result of the increase in meth activity in Blount County over the past few months. The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force is now offering $100 cash for information that leads to the arrest of meth cooks in Blount County. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force at 865-977-SANO(7266).
The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force is comprised of deputies and officers of the Blount County Sheriff's Office, the Alcoa Police Department, and the Maryville Police Department. All investigators are members of the Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force.

The Reuters news agency accidentally published an obituary of Jewish billionaire and prominent liberal political donor George Soros.
"George Soros, who died XXX at age XXX, was a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor, who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions," read the story which carried the byline of Todd Eastham.
The less-than-glowing obituary moved on the agency's Reuters America news wire, to which the Forward subscribes, at about 5:30 p.m. The wire service sent an advisory about an hour later saying the story was being withdrawn.
Visitors to Reuters' web site after that time received a "Page Not Found" error message.
But by then it was too late to stop internet users worldwide from reading and downloading the article.
The obituary, as might be expected, focused mostly on Soros's rise to the top of the financial world and particularly his remarkable success as a currency trader, mentioning his Jewish heritage only in passing.
"(Soros) landed his first job in the financial industry largely through pure stubborn chutzpah," the obituary read.
It also mentioned the fact that many economists and political figures blame his predatory tactics for driving down the value of the British pound in the 1990s and sparking the Asian financial crisis a few years later, charges he denied.
The obituary said Soros gives away about $600 million a year. He famously donated $23 million to opponents of George W. Bush in 2004, but failed to prevent his reelection.

Updated at 2:45 p.m. with suspect's name and more details from police.
Carrollton police arrested a driver after an overnight chase into downtown Dallas ended outside the county jail.
The chase began around 2:30 a.m. Saturday when police in Carrollton attempted to stop a suspicious Chevy SUV in the 2000 block of Luna Road. Police said the SUV was full of men suspected of breaking into a tractor-trailer.
The SUV stopped briefly in Farmers Branch, where its driver and three passengers jumped out and ran away. That's when 54-year-old Keith Leonard Randle took the wheel and drove 30 miles, police said.
As the chase wound south, Dallas County sheriff's deputies and the Dallas police helicopter joined in. Deputies slowed the fleeing driver by dropping spike strips in his path. That blew out both tires on the driver's side.
The chase ended in the 100 block of Commerce Street, within sight of the Dallas County Jail, and Randle was taken into custody at gunpoint.
And even though the chase ended outside the Dallas County jail, Randle was taken to the Carrollton City Jail after he was arrested. He's charged with evading arrest.

08 CTS - A/c recharge
Hello all, it seems as warmer months approach my a/c system is struggling a bit. Id like to try a simple a/c recharge before I take it somewhere. Ive done it on several other cars with success.
Anyone done it yet? I'm sure it just takes regular R134a right? I cant find pressure #'s.
Anything other than just hooking it up to the line near the oil cap? (Normal procedure...Hook up, run car, pressurize...etc).
Re: 08 CTS - A/c recharge
Ok, so I ended up just buying a bottle of recharge and it seemed to work great. What is even better is it might of fixed another problem I had.
Basically over the last few months, my passenger side a/c started to be intermittent...then pretty much completely stopped working. I thought it was the mix/blend valve. But then the entire a/c got real weak and sometimes wouldn't be cold at all.
After the recharge it was instantly freezing on both driver AND passenger side. Good news.
Thought I would post my experience for reference. I just need to drive around a bit more and make sure nothing changes...

Re: 08 CTS - A/c recharge
Could you post details of the product you used? And maybe how you did it for those of us who have no real knowledge of this? Thanks...
Re: 08 CTS - A/c recharge
Pretty straight forward...just hooked up the bottle to the a/c line right next to the oil cap, turned car on and AC on max...then just used entire bottle (or till gets to recommended pressure for temp). The pressure was super low when I started which explains it barely working.

Re: 08 CTS - A/c recharge
The AC is a closed system, so this may work for now, but you still have a problem and it will return unless you find the source of the leak and repair it.
Re: 08 CTS - A/c recharge
I know that AC techs hate that stuff with the stop-leak stuff in it. It will cost extra once they tear into it, most probably.

China's Biggest Coal-to-Gas Project Approved
Regulatory approval has been given to China's biggest coal-to-gas project, people with knowledge of the issue said. The project is proposed and led by Sinopec Corp (NYSE: SNP, HKG: 0386, SHA: 600028), alongside other participates including Huaneng Power International Inc (NYSE: HNP, HKG: 0902, SHA: 600011), Yanzhou Coal Mining Co (NYSE: YZC, HKG: 1171, SHA: 600188), China Shenhua Energy Co (HKG: 1088, SHA: 601088) and China Coal Energy Co (SHA: 601898, HKG: 1898). Located in a basin in Xinjiang in northwestern China, the project is expected to draw 200 billion yuan of investment and produce 36 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Coal-to-gas processing is expected to prevail as natural gas prices rise and coal prices fall in China.
Sina Weibo Said to Launch E-Commerce Service
Sina Corp (Nasdaq: SINA) will launch e-commerce services on its popular weibo microblogging platform in August as a marketing aid to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, China's top e-commerce firm, a person familiar with the matter said. Yun Mao, as the site is known, will be built on a cloud computing platform and gives merchants of Tmall.com and Taobao.com access to Yun Mao's user data. Tmall and Taobao, both operated by Alibaba, is China's most popular B2C and C2C sites. Alibaba paid $586 million in April for an 18% stake in Sina Weibo, which claims to have registered over 300 million accounts.
Baidu Takes 81% of China's Search Revenue
Baidu.com Inc (Nasdaq: BIDU) captured an 81.4% share of revenue from China's search market in Q2 2013, up slightly from a quarter earlier, iResearch said. Total revenue amounted to 9.28 billion yuan in Q2 2013, up 35.3% from a year earlier and up 25.1% from a quarter earlier. Google Inc (Nasdaq: GOOG) came in second with a 14.4% share. Separately, Baidu said it will issue $1 billion worth of 5-year overseas bonds to fund the purchase of 91 Wireless. Earlier this month Baidu said it will pay $1.1 billion for a 57.41% stake in 91 Wireless, a leading Chinese mobile platform connected to 93,000 app developers. The deal is expected to give Baidu access to 91 Wireless's massive app store as a supplement to its desktop and wireless search business and make up for its disadvantages in the mobile Internet market where Qihoo 360 Technology Co (NYSE: QIHU) is the leader.
Huaneng Power Earnings Surge 165% on Lower Expenses
Huaneng Power International Inc (NYSE: HNP, HKG: 0902, SHA: 600011), China's largest listed electricity producer, posted 64.06 billion yuan in revenues and 5.62 billion yuan in net profits for 1H 2013, down 4.6% and up 165% year on year respectively. The strong profit increase was due to a 14.7% year on year decline in operating costs as it increased the use of cheaper imported coal while power purchase costs and financial expense fell. Its power generation dropped 0.5% year on year due to an economic slowdown, leading to the decline in revenue. The company said it will continue ramping up investment in clean energy to restructure business in 2H 2013.
361 Degrees Posts 243 Net Closures in 1H
361 Degrees International Ltd (HKG: 1361), a Chinese sportswear retailer, said it recorded a net decrease of 243 stores in 1H 2013, including 196 new store openings and 439 closures, taking its total number of stores to 7,826 stores as of the end of June 2013. Same-store sales dropped 0.8% year on year in Q2 2013, which was slightly better than the 1.5% decline in Q1 2013.

Medical Education Feature - March 2009
Tex Med . 2009;105(3):47-51.
By Ken Ortolon Senior Editor
Total exhaustion from long shifts in the hospital caring for patients around the clock once was a rite of passage for young physicians in residency training.
That changed significantly in 2003 when the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) instituted new limits on resident work hours. Since then, medical schools, residency programs, and teaching hospitals across Texas have spent millions of dollars juggling their training schedules, asking faculty to provide more care, and hiring more physicians and midlevel professionals to pick up the work once performed by residents. They've also had to invest in new technologies to augment training on real patients and to improve the information flow between physicians when residents have to "hand off" their patients to other doctors.
While medical educators and residents alike say the new rules have reduced physician trainees' fatigue, doubts remain whether the work hour limits have achieved their primary goal - reducing medical errors by exhausted residents and improving patient safety. In fact, some residency program directors say the increasing number of patient handoffs necessitated by the work hour limits has had a detrimental impact on patient care.
"We certainly recognize the importance of putting some kind of limitations on resident work hours to avoid fatigue and patient errors and for patient safety," said Philip Orlander, MD, vice chair for education and professor of medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. "But, on the other hand, it does have certain detractions in terms of continuity of care and education, depending on the individual's specialty."
While residency program directors have adjusted to rules imposed five years ago, they now face recommendations for more stringent controls on resident work hours. Thus far, the reaction to the new recommendations from residency program directors and their residents appears to be universally negative. (See "IOM Work Hour Proposals Could Lengthen Resident Training.")
Setting the Limits
The 2003 ACGME work hour limits cap maximum resident work hours at 80 hours per week and set a maximum shift length of 30 hours. Those 30 hours include 24 hours for admitting patients and six hours for transitional and educational activities.
ACGME also set a maximum in-hospital, on-call frequency of every third night and a minimum of 10 hours off between shifts. The rules also require residents to have one day a week free of any residency-related duties.
Residency program directors say those limits have presented serious challenges, both in terms of ensuring that residents get the breadth of experience they need to become competent physicians and in providing patient care in teaching hospitals.
"One of the things we're constantly struggling with is to try and make sure the residents get broad and comprehensive exposure to all of the illnesses and conditions they will be treating on their own without supervision and, at the same time, trying to make sure we're not overworking them," Dr. Orlander said.
Carol Croft, MD, professor of internal medicine and program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, says the rules forced her program to make considerable changes in its teaching rounds schedule.
"It's been a real transition for us," Dr. Croft said. "That sacred time of the two hours of attending rounds where everybody was together now can feel a little more chaotic."
John Jay Shannon, MD, executive vice president and chief medical officer at Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas, says it is almost impossible to schedule rounds for the entire residency program team - including medical students, residents, and attending faculty.
"If I look at 22 weekdays in a month as potential teaching days, and then I start to overlay my clinic schedules and attending [physician] schedules and the various on and off and post-call times for the residents, I'm lucky if I've got two days out of the 22 when the entire team is there," he said.
The result, he added, is "a substantial change in the experience of the house officer of the patient's illness … because they are missing many more hours of that illness, when previously they would have been called to the bedside much more frequently."
Dr. Orlander says reduced experience caring for real patients forced UT-Houston to adjust its curriculum to make sure topics are covered didactically or through computer simulations. Two years ago, UT-Houston opened a clinical skills lab with an array of mannequins and other technology that can reproduce a wide variety of patient conditions. Residents can even perform procedures, such as intubations or spinal taps, on those mannequins.
"Again, it's not a perfect substitute for the patient, but at least it gives us some pre-patient education so they've done a good number of these procedures on plastic before they have to do it on a patient," Dr. Orlander said.
But Dr. Croft says the best way to learn medicine is at the bedside, and she's concerned residents are not getting the full range of experience they need.
"What you can't learn from textbooks or the now-much-more-easily-obtained information from an Internet Web search is what happens when you make the clinical decision. What happens to your patient and how do you assess whether it was the right decision or not? If the care is disjointed, that part of the learning process is interrupted, and I'm not sure it can be supplanted by the fact that the educational experience is a more restful one."
Picking Up the Slack
The resident work hour limits also forced residency programs and teaching hospitals to spend a lot of money finding other physicians and health care professionals to provide the care that residents once did. Dr. Shannon says Parkland instituted an extensive hospitalist program that uses nonteaching physicians to treat patients. Parkland also hired a large number of physician assistants and advanced practice nurses to pick up some of the slack.
Lois Bready, MD, associate dean for graduate medical education and designated institutional official at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, says residency programs and affiliated teaching hospitals there also hired several hospitalists and midlevel practitioners to cover their patient load. That, she says, has been expensive because salaries for those midlevel practitioners can be as much as $125,000, plus benefits. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the average first-year resident stipend was only $46,245 in 2008.
There isn't any state or federal money to cover those costs, she says.
Other increased costs include purchasing information technology, such as electronic medical records, to improve information flow between the various physicians who may care for a patient during the course of his or her hospital stay.
Dr. Shannon says the work hour limits caused a definite shift in who is providing care in the hospital. In the past, if you wanted to know what was going on with a particular service, you'd talk to the senior resident, he says. "Nowadays, the person with the most knowledge of what's going on with the service is the attending physician. That definitely would not have been the case in the past." There are no work hour restrictions on the attending faculty, he adds.
A Mixed Bag
Residents themselves appear to have mixed feelings about the work hour limits. Mark Warner, MD, chief medical resident and clinical instructor in the Department of Internal Medicine for the UT Medical School at Houston, says the residents enjoy the cap on the number of hours they are in the hospital. "I think they enjoy having sort of a goal - once I get to this certain time I can go home and rest for a little while and come back the next day. I think that's definitely a plus."
Eddie J. Turner Jr., MD, a third-year family medicine resident in the Baylor College of Medicine Northwest Residency Program and chair of Texas Medical Association's Resident and Fellow Section, believes the current work hour rules have been "very positive, especially from a patient safety standpoint. And I think that should be our main goal - patient safety and, secondly, our resident well-being."
But both residents and program directors say there is considerable frustration among dedicated residents who don't want to leave a patient in the middle of a critical care episode just because their shift is over. Residents also recognize the value of the hands-on experience they may be missing.
"The only glaring thing that we hear from the residents consistently is if they're approaching that 30th hour and they have a patient who's not doing well, that requires some personal attention at the bedside, the residents would like to stay and take care of their patient," Dr. Warner said. "And sometimes that's just not possible. When they get over the hour limit, they have to hand that responsibility off to someone else."

IOM Work Hour Proposals Could Lengthen Resident Training
New proposals by the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) to place additional limits on resident work hours could dramatically impact residency training and patient care in teaching hospitals. And, they could force some specialties to lengthen their resident training periods, say medical educators.
In December, the IOM recommended several changes to the resident duty hour restrictions imposed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 2003. While the recommendations maintain the current work hour limit of 80 hours per week, they would limit moonlighting by residents and require additional days off. The proposals maintain a resident's maximum shift length at 30 hours, but require a five-hour sleep break after the first 16 hours of that shift.
The IOM recommendations also would increase minimum time off between shifts for night and extended duty periods, increase the mandatory number of days off per month from four to five, and count moonlighting both within the teaching hospital and in external facilities against the 80-hour work limit.
The American Medical Association congratulated the IOM "for its proposal to enhance the learning environment for resident physicians and to reduce medical errors" resulting from resident fatigue.
Residency program directors in Texas say the five-hour sleep break would automatically cut resident productivity by one-sixth, requiring them to hire more physicians and midlevel practitioners to pick up the slack.
And, some specialties would have major compliance problems, they say.
Carol Croft, MD, professor of internal medicine and program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, says certain surgical subspecialties, obstetrics and gynecology, and other specialty programs might need exceptions to the proposed 16-hour rule.
For obstetrics and gynecology, for example, one of the learning experiences is to evaluate a woman in labor and see her through delivery.
"If she's in labor for 24 hours, you can't take the resident away from the patient whom he or she may have followed through the entire pregnancy, and say 'Sorry, it's nap time' when the baby's arriving," Dr. Croft said.
Eddie J. Turner Jr., MD, a third-year family medicine resident in the Baylor College of Medicine Northwest Residency Program and chair of Texas Medical Association's Resident and Fellow Section, says he doesn't see how the proposed sleep requirements could be enforced.
"When we do call, we're usually the only resident on call," Dr. Turner said. "If we were to have to take five hours for sleep, there is nobody to cover for us. So it would take a major overhaul in the way we do our curriculum and our training."
Lois Bready, MD, associate dean for graduate medical education and designated institutional official at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, says many residents are worried about the consequent loss of experience and "the anticipated prolongation of their residency training requirement" that the new proposals might entail.
"Some residency programs rely extensively on counting the number of key index experiences, whether they are surgical cases or experiences of a given type in some other specialty or months of rotation in a specific clinical assignment," Dr. Bready said. "If you're talking about specialties that count clinical experiences and there's less time to acquire those clinical experiences, it would almost be certain that they would have to be extended."
Dr. Croft also says she worries that the proposed moonlighting restrictions would force moonlighting "underground."
"What we currently have for internal medicine because of the hospitalist programs is availability of shifts where residents can moonlight within the teaching institution," Dr. Croft said. "That means that if licensed trainees who are eligible to moonlight do moonlight, they're going to be in their own teaching hospitals. In some respect, they have access to the faculty, to the more senior trainees, fellows, or residents who are older than they are, while they're having a moonlighting experience." She believes that would be a learning experience that moonlighting at an external facility might not provide.
She says ACGME is taking work hour violations very seriously but as yet has not adopted the IOM recommendations. Ongoing discussion on how best to implement them is expected in the coming year.

Thats all well and good. In no way shape or form am I suggesting the government take those rights away, i'm simply suggesting harsher penalties for gun owners to face when their gun is used illegally or unsafely (ie if you carelessly allow your gun to get stolen and a theif robs a bank with it you should be held responsible in some fashion for carelssly storing your gun).
I am suggesting also that those who exercise their right to own a gun, which is a tool that is capable of great damage and the taking of lives, be encouraged since they should have nothing to hide, to register that gun, and take some "REASONABLE" amount of gun safety, refresher, etc certifications similar to that of a cpl or concealed or whatever you want to call it course on a semi regular basis.
We don't allow people to fly planes, drive cars, or even operate boats without some sort of license. Why is it so hard to keep the ability to own whatever gun we want, but be able to prove we have the mental capacity and level headedness to own and operate it safely?

Those intent on killing people will find another way to do it without a gun.
This is the part that I think needs to be targeted more BEFORE taking away rights.
An owner of a gun needs to be held responsible for what it is used for.

Great ideas!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
At one retreat we divided up into teams and played a trivia game for strips and used the strips for the pineapple blossom blocks from Bonnie Hunter's website.
We've played bingo and quilto for small prizes. We did a dirty gift swap one time that was loads of fun. Everybody that wanted to participate brought a wrapped gift in the $10 to $15 dollar range. We all drew numbers and the first person started off by picking a gift but not opening it. Then the second person could either take that gift or get one off the table. There was no limit to the number of times a gift could be taken since none of them were opened until the very end.
do you know the dice game "Left, Right, Center"
Played with fat quarters. If you throw dice and L comes up you pass a fat quarter to the one on left, or Right or put one in center.
Can get the game at toy stores, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.
Last one with a fat quarter wins all in the center.
We play that same game with 2 and a half inch strips. We start the game with 3 strips each. Whoever is left with the last strip wins the jackpot. We call this game "Strip Poker". I enjoy the looks on people's faces when we tell them we played strip poker at our retreat.Originally Posted by Holice
we usually don't have much time for games, etc, because we are either sewing, eating, laughin, or sleeping. we have take a puzzle a time or two. just make sure you have enough threats. we do not have a project for the retreat beause we all have enough UFO's to keep us busy for weeks.
We have done a "strip bingo". Every one brings in several 2 1/2 in. strips which are put {1 per game} into a pile in the middle of a table. Person who wins the game gets the pile. Our bingo game was made up of sewing/quilting terms in each square such as...binding,rotary cutter,selvedge,rulers,etc. Have fun!
I have been to several retreats. Here are my suggestions:
Skip the games. Especially if they are physical. There are a lot of older women at the retreats I go to that can't do physical games and felt left out.
Show and Tell. Have everyone bring one of their projects and show off. I think it is one of the best parts of the retreat.
White Elephant exchange. Everyone brings some unwanted quilting supplies in a package of some sort. Then whoever draws #1 picks a package and opens it. #2 can either pick one out of the pile or take #1. A package can trade hands 3 times then it is dead. It can be a lot of fun.
Seret Pals. Bring a bag of small items to shower on your secret pal. Drop them off on her sewing machine several times during the retreat then everyone meets their secret pal at the end.
Plenty of time for sewing. The ladies who put on the retreat are always walking around talking or helping with questions.
Make sure there is a lot of coffee and drinks and TP. My last retreat we ran out of TP. With 30 women drinking coffee that was a disaster.
Have fun. Even if you just sew and talk and eat you will have a good time.
craftybear-- I have a whole page with just your stuff I save-- thank you - thank you - thank you for all your info you share :thumbup:Originally Posted by craftybear
Glad you saw these, you may wanna bring some games. YOu knwo the ones I have planned. LOL. So many wonderful ideas. Thank you for this post.♥♥Originally Posted by np3
Thank you Ladies. My guild is having a retreat in October. This will be a second time around for us. So very much fun.
I am on the committee and you'll have given some great ideas. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.

Fifty years ago, in the early days of biology, so little was known about the cell that all of the proteins outside of its nucleus were grouped into one big "cytoplasmic soup." Now, as the list of known cellular ingredients continues to expand beyond the capacity of any recipe card, two Rockefeller University scientists are taking a step back to ask whether there might be a better way to organize the current thinking about a particularly important class of proteins inherent to all living cells.
In the Feb. 1 issue of Science, James E. Darnell, Jr., M.D, and Ali H. Brivanlou, Ph.D., propose a reclassification of all known transcription factors - an essential group of over 2000 proteins responsible for turning genes "on" or "off." Their proposed schema is the first-ever ordering of transcription factors based solely upon the role these molecules play in the cell.
"Our aim in this paper is to provide a framework with sufficiently few functional categories of transcription factors so that students and researchers have some chance to remember all the important groups. We also believe this teaching aid is based on sound cell physiologic principles," says Darnell, head of the Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology at Rockefeller University and co-author of the popular textbook, "Molecular Cell Biology."
"We need a global perspective such as this in order to form new ideas about how cells deal with the necessity to change transcription rates," says Brivanlou, head of the Laboratory of Molecular Vertebrate Embryology at Rockefeller.
Transcription is the process by which cells "read" their genetic instructions: DNA is "transcribed" into RNA, which is then converted into protein. Specific proteins in the cell called transcription factors control which genes are read and which ones are silenced, thereby dictating everything that goes on in a given cell at any moment. Well-studied transcription factors include p53 and the Smad and STAT proteins, all of which play a major role in many cancers.
Because transcription goes awry in many diseases, including cancer and viral infections such as HIV, a better understanding of how cells "read" genetic instructions may lead to new drug therapies for these diseases.
Previously, transcription factors were grouped by scientists according primarily to their physical structure as determined through X-ray crystallography. However, all of the proteins in one structural group don't necessarily operate in similar fashion physiologically.
"Jim Darnell and I realized that it makes more sense to think about these proteins in terms of their behavior instead of their structure," says Brivanlou.
The two scientists first began discussing this issue with students during a course Darnell was teaching Rockefeller University. The title of the course was "gene expression" and included discussions of the various ways in which the cell receives instructions from the outside and then responds to these signals by altering the production of specific proteins, or, in scientific terms, the "expression" of certain genes. These signals include primarily hormones (e.g., estrogens) and small proteins (e.g., growth hormone). Transcription factors are the mediators of these signals and ultimately govern which genes are expressed.
Darnell and Brivanlou realized that by grouping transcription factors according to how they are signaled or controlled, they could more readily recognize global patterns, such as evolutionary relationships between groups of transcription factors.
Yet the new classification is not meant to be an end in itself, according to the scientists. "This is not a Unified Law of Transcription Factors," jokes Brivanlou.
Darnell adds, "We know that some of these groupings may be controversial, but we think there are good reasons to classify groups the way we have. For example, all of the factors that respond to extracellular protein signals are very disparate in their internal activation pathways but all share a global design: cell surface stimulation by an extracellular protein that activates a latent cytoplasmic factor which upon activation enters the nucleus to function in activating gene transcription."
The researchers hope the paper will foster vigorous discussions about how to best organize these important proteins and ultimately lead to new and important concepts about the workings of the cell.
The Darnell and Brivanlou laboratories are supported largely by the National Institutes of Health.
John D. Rockefeller founded Rockefeller University in 1901 as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Rockefeller scientists have made significant achievements, including the discovery that DNA is the carrier of genetic information. The University has ties to 21 Nobel laureates, six of which are on campus. Rockefeller University scientists have received this award for two consecutive years: neurobiologist Paul Greengard, Ph.D., in 2000 and cell biologist Günter Blobel, M.D., Ph.D., in 1999, both in Physiology or Medicine. At present, 33 faculty are elected members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Celebrating its Centennial anniversary in 2001, Rockefeller - the nation's first biomedical research center - continues to lead the field in both scientific inquiry and the development of tomorrow's scientists.

Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has resumed first-team training after over three months out with a knee injury.
The Cameroon international has been Spurs' first-choice left-back for the last four seasons, but he has been limited to three appearances so far this term after a niggling injury flared up in September.
He had been expected to be out for four weeks, but the problem was much worse than expected.
The enigmatic 28-year-old raised hopes of a return to action today, however, when he tweeted: "Training with the team today !!! I hope as i ll remember the name of every one LOL."
Manager Andre Villas-Boas is expected to confirm whether Assou-Ekotto will be available for Sunday's Barclays Premier League game against Swansea later this week.

Ripoff Report
Green Tree Financial Group5000 Birch Street, Ste 3000 Newport Beach, California USA
Green Tree Financial Group - Dale Connor, Leslie Bell, Jennifer Nelson - Fraudulent Mortgage Rate Modification Process Newport Beach California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We were taken in by Dale Connor's suave speech about how we could get a rate modication on our 2 existing loans. One would be 2% and the other 4% down from 9%. Without going into much detail, this is what our family needed. We were very grateful. Anyhow, now we know better.
We were contacted by phone from an associate of Dale's who said he could help and would put us in contact with a representative that could help us.
We received a call from Dale Connor and he explained we would have to fill out paperwork and send it back. We were also told that every Tuesday he would call to check in with us to keep us abreast of new events or if we had any issues/questions. Every question we had was either answered by phone or in e-mail. The return calls were great and timely until the very end when we were to receive the FedEx package with a tracking number within 1-2 weeks which never happened.
Throughout this entire process, we sent in 2 checks with a hefty total, requested and updated information.
We were told that the investors they had were like millionaires who were looking for a tax write-off so once they received our paperwork, reviewed it, and approved it, our loan amount would decrease by $100K in addition to the low interest rates. We were also told in writing that we could have an yet another extension of 4-6wks on obtaining our new mortgage. We thought this was a win-win situation. What couldn't be better?
In the meantime, our first mortgage company was calling and Dale said don't answer the phone, don't call them back, don't pick up any cerified mail, etc. - our systems just don't talk to each other, everything will be fine, I will talk with them to let them know that the process has started, etc. and reassured us that there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Dale Connor is a scammer and a good one at that. When we first looked into this there was nothing on-line, now there are many complaints and I feel so awful for everyone who has been taken advantaged of.
If anyone is or knows someone who is looking to start a class action lawsuit, etc. please let me know.
This type of scam is awful and preys on the people who earn their money honestly.
We were also scammed out of money by Green Tree Financial Group located in CA, please contact your local police department the Law Enforecement in CA (949) 644-3717 won't do anything unless they hear from your local police department. Also, if anything you sent to this company was via mail call the postal inspector at 877-876-2455. I found out through a banking fraud department that this company is a fictitious business and is not registered as a business entity. Working on contacting the CA States Attorney General Office as well.
Please if you are thinking of doing business with this company DO NOT! To those of you that have, let's stick together and see this through.

If you have one or both of your biological parents genotyped with 23andMe, DNA Relatives can determine whether a match shares DNA in common with both you and one of your parents, and therefore is likely to be on either your mother's side or your father's side. This can help narrow your search if you're looking for a common ancestor with one of your matches, and using Map View, you can look for differences in where in the world matches on the two sides come from.
How it works
This feature labels relatives that share DNA in common with both you and your parent. If your relative also shares DNA with your mother, he or she is most likely on your mother's side of the family. Conversely, if a relative shares DNA with your father, he or she is probably on your dad's side. This is the case for both male and female relatives, since DNA Relatives is based on your autosomal DNA.
When you are sharing genomes with or on the same account as one or both of your parents, DNA Relatives will check to see what matches you share in common with each parent. You'll see this indicated next to each match in your DNA Relatives list. You can filter your matches by which side of the family they're on:
|M labeled relatives match both you and your mother
|P labeled relatives match both you and your father
|Full siblings show DNA shared with both parents
|Some more distant matches may not receive labels if they do not appear on either parent's DNA Relatives list
If you only have one parent in the system, you'll be able to use the filters to show only people who match that parent, or only people who do not match that parent. In many cases, a relative who doesn't match your father matches your mother, so you can find relatives from both sides even if only one parent has been genotyped.
Undetermined matches
Occasionally, you'll find relatives that match both your mother and your father. For instance, a sibling should be related to both your parents. This can also happen if the same person happens to be distantly related to both of your parents.
You may also find relatives that don't match either of your parents. Since all the DNA you have comes from either your mother or father, it is biologically impossible for one of your relatives to not share DNA with one of your parents. In these cases, the amount of DNA shared likely falls just short of the DNA Relatives detection threshold.

Starfish die-off baffles experts Locals join effort to study widespread disease By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
As scientists work to understand what's killing off millions of starfish up and down the West Coast, a small group of islanders is joining a regional effort to help monitor the mystery epidemic.
On a chilly evening last week, islander Jeff Adams, a marine water quality specialist with Washington Sea Grant and a local beach naturalist, led about a dozen people under the north-end ferry dock at low tide. Adams was training the group to identify starfish affected by what scientists are calling sea star wasting syndrome.

VASHON'S 12TH MAN CHEERS HAWKS TO BIG WIN More than 300 Vashon football fans celebrated the Super Bowl in true island style on Sunday — by packing into the Vashon Theatre. For three hours, the movie house roared with the sounds of the big game and the cheers of Hawks fans of all ages as the Seattle team routed the Denver Broncos for their first-ever Super Bowl win. "Everybody had a great time," said Mike England, who with Aaron Hendon organized the party, complete with tailgating, beer and a potluck. "It helped that the team dominated and won." England, a mortgage consultant, and Hendon, a real estate agent with Keller Williams, recently began teaching a home buying class together on Vashon and discovered their shared love for the Seahawks. When the Hawks won the NFC Championship, they decided to rent out the Vashon Theatre for the Super Bowl, spreading the word over social media and offering free tickets online. The event sold out and even had a wait list. "I must have had 100 people say thank you while it was going on," England said. England noted that the updated projection system and sound equipment at the theater made it an especially good venue to catch the big game. "We told them we'll do it next year," he said, "when the Seahawks are back for the Super Bowl." Photo and story by Natalie Martin
After years of sluggish sales and falling prices, Vashon's real estate market is firmly on the upswing, with an 18 percent jump in home prices in 2013. Last year the median price of a single-family home sold on Vashon hit $413,500, its highest in five years, according to data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS). Last year there were also slightly more sales on the island, as 157 homes changed hands, up from 146 the year before and nearly double the low of 83 sales in 2008. "It's huge," said Beth de Groen, who owns the Windermere office on Vashon, noting that a normal market increase is about 5 percent a year. Between 2007, the height of the market, and 2011, the median sale price on Vashon plummeted 42 percent, losing 24 percent in 2009 alone, according to NWMLS data. In 2012 the market began to turn around with a 4 percent increase on Vashon. While homes are finally start-
ing to regain value, fewer short sales and foreclosures in 2013 also contributed to the 18-percent spike, local real estate agents say, as did a slight resurgence in the market for higher-end houses. "We're actually seeing it become a healthier market, healthier than it's been," de Groen said, "and people realize there's an uptick." Indeed the increase, which is expected to continue, is bringing out buyers hoping to get in while prices are still somewhat low — the median price of a home sold in the height of the market in 2007 was $535,000. Low interest rates of around 4.5 percent are also currently a big draw. Denise Katz, a real estate agent with Windermere, said that while Vashon hasn't seen the feeding frenzy that's happened in some parts of Seattle as the market recovers there, homes on Vashon that are well-maintained, reasonably priced and presented well are generating immediate interest, selling fast and sometimes garnering multiple offers. "A lot of people who were on the fence are buying now," Katz said. "Interest rates are low, and homes are starting to appreciate, not depreciate." Colleen Brooks, a retired SEE REAL ESTATE, 20
