Before the door opened to D-41 I expected to see the same thing I saw at D-40; a bunch of people minding their own business and not really paying attention to the new patients. I wasn't as nervous as before because, as the doctors and nurses had told me, it was readily apparent that there were no dangerous or violent people in these wards at all. Everyone was crazy but they were gentle crazy and wouldn't hurt a fly. The dangerous and violent ones were kept separate.
I stood before the door of D-41 and, when they opened it, I could see at least twenty or so other patients looking straight at me. D-41 was twice the space of of D-40 and my doctors told me that there were 60 patients there. In the back, of the people standing there looking at us, I thought I saw a very tall young man who didn't look Japanese, but I wasn't sure as I didn't have my glasses (didn't need them I thought).
I was quite (and pleasantly) surprised to see that he was, indeed, another foreigner. What a joy! Even though I could speak Japanese, sometimes it is pleasant ( and restful to your mind) to be able to speak to others in your native tongue. Being foreigners in a foreign land he too seemed happy to have me, another foreigner, in D-41. He quickly came to greet me and shook my hand. His name was Rusulan and he was a young Russian man.
When I first saw him, I guessed him to be in his late twenties or, perhaps early thirties. But as we began to talk and I got a good up close look at him it became more and more apparent to me that this wasn't a guy who had fallen out of a job or a marriage due to addiction problems, this was only a boy! The more we talked, the more I began to think I was conversing with a person of high school age. Up close, Rusulan didn't look a day over 18-years-old, if that. He never told me his exact age but his story is unforgettable.
Rusulan had sandy blond hair and a rugged chin. He was a handsome young man and looked to be like the kind of guy you'd see in an advertisement for back-packing or camping equipment or even cigarettes. Though his face had some wrinkles, his skin had a youthful vigor to it. This is what confused me as to his age. Almost everyone who was in drug rehab in D-40 and D-41 seemed to be well over 30, though many of the mental patients were very young. Though it seemed as though Rusulan was well liked by all the other patients and staff, he seemed to me to be completely out of place here.
Rusulan also had a very curious star shaped scar right in the middle of his forehead. After his very first greeting to me Rusulan asked me to sit down and talk so he could explain what was going on at D-41. He seemed perfectly normal (well, at first, they all do) so, after putting my stuff in my room, I sat with him to talk. We sat at a table and I could get a good look at his very glassy eyes. He looked off into the distance and pointed to the star on his forehead and said,
"See that? See that star shaped scar? That proves that I am the 'Chosen One.'" It was a statement that begged no response from me. Rusulan made it without fanfare nor exclamation.
"Right!" I nodded my head in agreement. Rusulan's eye movement and blinking were very slow and dulled. I figured the doctors must have had him under some pretty heavy sedation. Rusulan nearly slurred his words and his movements made him look like he was slightly drunk.
By the way, patients in the hospital, depending on their circumstances, of course, are almost always under some sort of sedation. The protocol demands that the doctors heavily sedate people in order to prevent them from having flashbacks. Flashbacks can cause brain damage. Depending on how heavy and serious and the length of addiction, the patient's who are in extreme risk of flashbacks will be given the strongest sedation for the longest period of time. I have no idea how long Rusulan was in this situation.
Rusulan continued to talk about the scar on his forehead. "That scar's been there since before I was born. I am the Chosen One," he added. I nodded and got a chance for a closer look at the scar. But upon closer inspection, it didn't look to be a natural scar at all. It was star-shaped for sure, but it looked like it was carved into his head by a knife... I began to suspect that Rusulan had carved it into his own forehead and that might have been just one episode and another reason why he was at Matsuzawa hospital in the first place. I can't be sure, of course, but that star-shaped scar sure looked to me like a self-inflicted wound!
He continued on the significance of the star, "Metallica has even written a song about me because of this star on my forehead. Have you ever heard of Metallica?" He asked.
"Yes," I replied. "I've worked as a professional in radio and the music business for many years..." I tried to talk but Rusulan cut me off. I wanted to brag that I worked in radio & the music business, but Rusulan would not allow it. Of course not! Why would the second coming of Christ care whether or not this new dumb addition to D-41 had ever worked in the music business or not? Rusulan went on,
"Metallica wrote the song, 'Master of Puppets' about me. Do you know the song?"
"Yes. I answered." I was surprised. Was Rusulan saying that he knows the guys in Metallica? I guess anything is possible. I was confused. I asked, "What? Wait! You know the guys in Metallica?"
"We know of each other." Rusulan said as he gazed off into the distance.
"So, you guys have met in person? They know your family or what?" I was skeptical.
Rusulan announced, "They know me. That's why they wrote the song for me. Do you know the lyrics to 'Master of Puppets'? That's totally about me and who I am."
"No. Actually, I don't know the lyrics." Funny, but I was embarrassed to have to admit that. It just goes to show how shallow and thin-skinned I am. Here I was trying to brag to "teenage Jesus" that I worked as a professional at a radio station and it frustrated me that he seemed like he didn't care or didn't believe me! Then he asks if I know the lyrics to a famous song but I don't. Doh!.. Some "professional DJ" eh? I felt so worthless....
Rusulan began to recite the lyrics of 'Master of Puppets' from memory;
"Come crawling faster,
"See?" Rusulan triumphantly claimed. That is proof that this was all written about me, you know that?" He pointed all around the room. "See these people? See all these doctors and nurses? They all do my bidding."
"I.... see...." I answered.
Of course I couldn't understand the reasoning but what's the point of arguing with the guy? He was completely and totally delusional. It seemed obvious to me that this was an idea that he had been creating and believing for many years and he liked it. Talking with me for ten minutes wasn't going to change any of that!
Rusulan went on like this for twenty or thirty minutes. It was difficult to talk to him, it seemed he liked it best for someone to just listen to him so, after trying to get a few words in edgewise, or changing the subject, I gave up. Talking to Rusulan was like talking to a drunk in a bar; he is having is own conversation and wants you to join in but don't change the subject. He's got something important to tell you and he zones in and out so there's not too much point to saying too awfully much. I began to grow weary of this and asked Rusulan if he didn't mind excusing me so I could go and have a short lay down in my room. He said okay and we agreed to meet later.
I figured that poor Rusulan was in the hospital for some sort of psychosis. I would find out later that it was nothing of the sort. Nevertheless it soon became apparent that Rusulan was going to be one of my best friends in D-41 and prove to be one of the most interesting characters in my entire stay at Matsuzawa hospital... Unfortunately.
Later on, after taking a nap, I saw Rusulan and he was quite eager to continue with our prior conversation. I wasn't particularly. Rusulan was quite pleased that he had thought he found another patient with whom he could converse with about the ins and outs of the wit and wisdom of the heavy metal band Metallica. I gathered from our conversations that he must have sat alone in his room listening to those albums, over and over, hundreds of times, by himself. Even though I knew little of the band, I had heard their songs a few times. Even with that, though, I was still head and shoulders above the competition in a Metallica trivia quiz held in a mental hospital ward filled with mostly 30 ~ 50-year-old Japanese guys whose knowledge of western music was most probably limited to the Beatles and Glenn Miller' Jazz music (as that is what was played on Red Lobster TV commercials at the time in Japan).
Rusulan kept insisting on discussing how Metallica lyrics were written about the star scar on his forehead and this was proof positive that he was the chosen one. I think these conversations went on for a day and a half when I finally grew tired of them and decided that I should help the guy out. I knew that telling him that he was full of BS or crazy wasn't a good idea as he might get mad at me and stop talking to me... I mean, in a room full of crazy and detached lonely people, even semi-coherent conversation and spending the time with someone is better than none. I knew I had to be coy about telling him his ideas were nuts. I had an idea.
"Rusulan?" I said,
"So, this star on your forehead, this proves that you are the Chosen One, right?"
"Right!" He answered.
"Great. So now, follow me on this one, Rusulan, because I have a great idea!!! I don't know why I didn't think of it before!"
Rusulan got all excited and crouched closer to me. "What is it? What is your great idea? Tell me!" He said.
"Rusulan, I figured a way that we can get out of here today! Right now!" I looked around to act like I was checking if anyone was watching us.
Rusulan was now just about jumping out of his chair with excitement! "How? Tell me how!" He begged.
"Well, the Chosen One is, you know, the son of God, right?"
"Yeah! Right!" He eagerly agreed.
"Well, then, Rusulan, have you ever figured out that, since you are the son of God and all, that you can do stuff like turn yourself invisible and walk through walls and probably go backward and forward in time?"
Right there I expected that he'd slap me on the back and say something like, "Aw c'mon! You're pulling my leg!" But he didn't. He seemed like he was listening intently and considering everything I was saying. He greatly surprised me when he said,
"Yeah.... Yeah.... You're right!"
"Uh, oh!" I thought. I didn't expect that. Now I had gotten myself into a mess. Now I was feeding his delusions. Oh what a low life sh*t I was! I decided that the best thing to do was to continue with my plan and that was to let him see by himself that he wasn't the Chosen One. I continued,
"So, what you do, Rusulan, is... You close your eyes and just like that that TV show "Bewitched" you wiggle your nose and think of someplace else and we'll be outta here!"
My heart sank when he eagerly agreed, "Yeah!" and then he closed his eyes. A few seconds later he opened his eyes up and I acted like I did too and, Shazam! We were still in D-41.
"It didn't work!" he said.
Right then, suddenly I couldn't tell if he was pulling my leg or not! I suspected that he was. I said, "I knew it! I had my hopes all up that we could get out of here and then this!... Nope! Sorry, Rusulan, you aren't the Chosen One.... And I had my hopes up too!" Rusulan began to stare blankly again out towards the distance. I felt sorry for him.
"Don't worry about it Rusulan. You'll get out of here soon. Why are you in here, anyway?"
Rusulan knew the game was up and knew that I didn't believe any of that Chosen One or Metallica nonsense anymore. Why did he tell people that? I don't know, poor guy. Maybe he said those things because of insecurities. Like I said, he was very young and I think, by far, the youngest person there. Maybe he was making these sorts of stories because the others in the ward frightened him? That would be an understandable reaction. Like I said there were very many patients who looked pretty scary. Perhaps he felt that this lie was a sort of self-preservation; a defense mechanism to protect himself, the youngest one of all, and (before I arrived) the only foreigner surrounded in a room full of frightening Japanese adults, from being bullied or treated badly?
Perhaps he learned to have these sorts fears from experiences as the only foreigner at Japanese school. I don't know. If my idea that this concoction that Rusulan had dreamed up as his being the Chosen One was a defense mechanism to scare people away, then that, to me, would seem to indicate that Rusulan was actually probably the most savvy and one of the sanest of the bunch in D-41.
Rusulan stopped playing games with me after that and told me the truth. He also asked why I was there and I told him. Like I said, when you meet people at Matsuzawa hospital, you never know why they are in there so it is difficult to strike up a conversation with someone because you never know what you're going to get. Kind of like talking to strangers on the outside world, really.
Rusulan then told me his story. It was a pretty sad one. He said his mother had forced him into Matsuzawa hospital as a kid and this wasn't his first time there. I believe this fact proves that poor Rusulan was a minor of, perhaps, 17 or 18 years of age! He told me that he stopped going to school when he was 14. I have heard stories about how some Russian people like to drink, but Rusulan's story confirmed that completely.
Rusulan told me that he used to eat cornflakes for breakfast and, instead of pouring milk on the flakes, he'd pour vodka and eat that. He said he wouldn't go to school because by the time breakfast was over, he'd be sprawled out on the floor. This went of for a few years before his mother decided to do something about it. No sense in trying to nip a problem in the bud, right?
Over the first week or so, I never saw Rusulan's mom visit him. I asked him where she was and he told me that she was no longer in Japan. Now, that's alarming! Because, you see, as a minor, he can't get out unless someone signs to be his guarantor and promises to provide him with a place to stay and food, clothes, etc. And just any old-body can't be a guarantor; in this case, they'd have to be relatives or something. Until his mom came back, and Rusulan seemed to not know when that would be, he wasn't going anywhere. He didn't seem to be especially upset about it. But if it were me, and my mom left me there in that place and didn't come to visit, and then left the country, I'd be a tad bit more than upset.
As I said, Rusulan and I became very good friends. For the first weeks in D-41 he never had any visitors but I always made sure that he was first to get some of the chocolate that my wife would bring to me.
My wife's frequent visits (and my only connection to sanity) were beginning to become a problem. The doctors had told us that they wanted to cut down the visits because the other patient's rarely had visitors so it was actually bad for me that my wife would visit so often. They also complained that my wife was "too beautiful" and asked that she not "dress up so much." I thought, "Right! Tell that to a Tokyo City Girl before she wants to go outside."
It seems that the other patients were beginning to grumble and complain and the doctor's feared that I'd start getting bullied or there'd be some sort of jealous retribution. Even Rusulan had confided in me that he deeply wished someone would come and visit and spend time with him. Poor guys. Porr Rusulan. It all reminded me of something I once heard on a Sunday morning religious rock radio program once, "The most insecure people are usually confined to the highest security prisons." It was the never ending story of the hunger of the human spirit. I felt sorry for everyone, especially Rusulan. He was just a teenager. I tried to be his best friend too.
One day, a Saturday morning, Rusulan was in great spirits for he announced to me that had a guest coming. I was quite happy and surprised to hear this news too! It was the first visitor that, to my knowledge, he had the entire time I was there. Of course, he was ecstatic about it too. I asked him who it was but he wouldn't tell me. He wanted to show me. He wanted to make sure that I met his guest and told me to wait near the exit door. I did.
The rules at the hospital were strict about visitations. The doctors had deemed that they thought Rusulan was "safe" to walk the hospital grounds with a visitor and not try to escape. Of course, in a government run mental institution (it's besides the point that drug and AA meetings and patients go there too), it isn't good if people are leaving the grounds without doctor's permission... That could be misconstrued, in some circles, as "an daring escape from a mental institution" which would make for sensational TV and frighten a lot of neighbors but be most akin to an extra homeless person wandering around the streets for the night. (Some patients could leave the hospitals grounds alone; some with an escort or visitor; some could not leave under any circumstances - I will discuss those later).
It wasn't my visitation time so I could not walk close to the exit door. Just inside the door, much like a "loading and unloading area" at an airport, there was an area lined off with yellow paint in the ward's own version of a sort of "No admittance" zone. You weren't supposed to stand in there if you weren't going out. There I stood, just outside off the line, as Rusulan was called because his visitor had arrived.
"Just wait there, Mike!" Rusulan eagerly called back to me. He smiled as wide as he possibly could. I felt happy to be his closest friend there and kind of like his family so I could share in his happiness. The door then opened and there stood a beautiful and tall Japanese high school girl. She was so petite and she looked like a goddess out of a Japanese comic book...She was like an "anime beautiful high school girl!" She was very pretty and she smiled. She had long hair and long legs. Rusulan said something to her and she looked at me, smiled broadly and bowed. I bowed back and waved back at her.
She must have really liked Rusulan because since Matsuzawa hospital is an institution for people with mental disorders, and it just so happens that the drug addicts and alcoholics are throw all into the same place, that still doesn't negate the fact that the hospital grounds are still a pretty scary place to walk around in for most people. The patients can be pretty scary looking, even though they are completely harmless. So it takes a lot of courage, and probably lots of love too, for some high school girl to go on the hospital grounds by herself to go visit her boyfriend. Nevertheless, she was there and Rusulan was on top of the world as he took her hand and they walked away with the door closing behind their back.
"Oh! I envied him!" I thought!
And with that I went back to doing whatever it was to pass the time. Later we ate dinner and, uneventfully, as always, I went to bed exactly at "lights out" at 8 pm. I slept quite well.
As I mentioned before, word travels fast in the hospital and, at "lights on" at 6 am the next morning, I was so surprised to find out that the hospital was totally and completely abuzz with the news! Rusulan was a hero! Rusulan's girlfriend had helped him to engineer a daring escape in broad daylight from the hospital! His girlfriend was a modern day Bonnie and he was a modern day Clyde! Oh that little criminal-minded minx! I would have never guessed in a million years that the sweet high school girl that I saw the day before standing in the doorway was such a schemer! To our great cheer, excitement and wonderment, Rusulan became a hero, swashbuckler and lady killer in one fell swoop! He was an inspiration to every patient in D-41. He was our own James Dean!
"Wow! That's so cool!" I thought. So did everyone else.
In my bed I laughed and threw my arms in the air in victory, "Go! Rusulan!" I shouted! "Go! Rusulan! Go!"

By Patrick O'Driscoll, USA TODAY
DENVER More violent thunderstorms and potential flooding are forecast today from a slow, deadly storm that slammed the Plains with dozens of tornadoes, a blizzard in Wyoming and a half-foot of snow in Colorado's capital.
"We're expecting another round of severe weather," said Dan McCarthy, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. "People really need to brush up on their safety procedures."
WEATHER GUYS BLOG: Rain in the Plains makes rivers run red
McCarthy said 2007 has been a busy tornado year already, with 300 reported, about 50% more than average by late March. Fatalities also are high: at least 48 so far this year, compared with 66 in all of 2006.
The weather center, in Norman, Okla., this week recorded at least 68 tornado sightings and 162 reports of large hail, some as big as baseballs. Violent storms moved slowly across Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday. Oklahoma City TV station KWTV aired live footage of a funnel cloud apparently touching down.
"This storm ... is not going to move very quickly," said Tom Moore, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel. "It's going to lose some of its oomph Friday but there will be a lot of rain" and possible flooding from the Red River in Minnesota and North Dakota to the Rio Grande in Texas.
This week's tornadoes were not a record for March. On March 12 last year, at least 110 twisters were sighted, nearly twice the previous single-day record. Tornadoes can strike in any month, but they are most common in April, May and June. "We're really just ramping up now," McCarthy said.
At least four people were killed when tornadoes ripped through six states Wednesday night. Three died in two huge twisters that struck a southeastern Colorado town and a rural part of the Oklahoma Panhandle. The fourth fatality was a man found in a tractor-trailer wreck in a Texas Panhandle oil field.
The blizzard dumped up to 5 feet of snow in parts of Wyoming, still suffering a multiyear drought. It caused at least 175 traffic accidents as hundreds of miles of Wyoming's three interstate highways were shut down. Heavy snow also hit parts of Colorado, Utah, Montana and the Dakotas.
In tiny Holly, Colo., near the Kansas border, Rosemary Rosales, 28, died after a 600-foot-wide tornado blew her home into a tree. Her husband, Gustavo Puga, and their daughter, Noelia, 3, were thrown into another tree and survived. Nine others were injured.

Sir: Peter Agar's claim (letter, 11 January) that the Newbury bypass "has satisfied the due processes of law and consultation" needs some qualification.
The public inquiry was held in the late Eighties. It has now been officially acknowledged that the methods of traffic forecasting in use at the time were incorrect in a way which could seriously exaggerate the case for roadbuilding. The Highways Agency claims that it has reassessed the Newbury bypass - even though the committee set up to advise on new methods of forecasting has not yet reported - but refuses to publish its study.
The inquiry did not consider means of tackling the problems other than roadbuilding, but in recent months ministers have recognised the need for policies to make the best use of the roads we already have. In addition, the cost estimate submitted to the inquiry was too low. Last October, the Highways Agency sent Joan Walley MP a list of all the road schemes completed in the preceding five years for which out-turn costs were available. In every one of the 78 schemes, the original cost estimate had been exceeded.
Yours faithfully,

Week in Review
September 10, 2007
District Court Orders Market Timer to Pay $500k
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has ordered John M. Fife, a principal of Clarion Management, a hedge fund based in Chicago, to pay more than $500,000 in fees and disgorgement for having allegedly placed illegal market-timing trades in 2002 and 2003. The court also barred him from working at an investment advisory firm for 18 months.
The judgment follows the Securities and Exchange Commission's initial suit against Fife and Clarion in January.
The SEC said he created Clarion with the sole purpose of market timing international mutual fund sub-accounts in variable annuities. The SEC said he purchased variable annuity contracts issued by Lincoln National Life Insurance and used deceptive tactics to hide Clarion's ownership of the annuities by creating phony family trusts and limited liability companies as beneficiaries. When Lincoln imposed trading restrictions in 2002 when it discovered that it was actually Clarion that was the beneficiary of the contracts, Fife then surrendered the contracts and purchased additional ones under new trust and limited liability company names.
Fidelity to Open R&D Unit In Galway, Employing 49
Fidelity Investments will open a research and development facility in Galway, Ireland manned by 49 professionals who will collaborate with a dozen professors at local universities, the Boston Globe reports. They will join the 300 people who already work in Galway and Dublin in fund administration.
"The quality of the Irish work force, the success of our existing Irish operations and the world-class research carried out in the Irish universities were key factors in our decision to expand in Ireland," said Paul Murtagh, managing director of the Fidelity technology group in Ireland.
Ireland has been pushing to attract research and development business in recent years because of its high pay. In fact, Ireland's Investment and Development Agency said it offered financial incentives to Fidelity, although it declined to specify what they were.
ICI Spent $2.3 Million On Lobbying Through June
The Investment Company Institute spent $2.3 million lobbying Congress, the Treasury, the Labor Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the first half of the year, the Associated Press reports, citing a disclosure form with the Senate.
Issues of concern to the ICI included shareholder votes on executive pay, regulation of the securities markets, international investments, 401(k) fees and taxes.
Darfur Activists Extend Plea to Four More Firms
The Save Darfur Coalition is extending its campaign against mutual fund firms that have investments in companies in Sudan to include four more fund firms: American Funds, Franklin Resources, JPMorgan Chase and Vanguard, the Boston Globe reports.
In addition, the group plans to continue to pressure Fidelity via television and print ads and a petition with 150,000 signatures to sell its remaining shares in PetroChina, a Beijing oil company that does business there. As of Aug. 1, Fidelity still owned $608 million in PetroChina stock. Franklin owned $1.7 billion and JPMorgan Chase $1.6 billion.
"We're still targeting them because they haven't fully divested," said Zahara Heckscher, campaign manager for the Save Darfur Coalition. "We're asking them to do the same thing we're asking the others."
Franklin defended its investments in the region, saying in a statement, "In our experience investing in emerging markets, we have seen that fostering economic and business development through investment in troubled regions can often help in achieving reform."
American Funds' parent Capital Group Cos. issued a similar statement, saying that it understands the group's concerns, but "others believe that the rest of the world must stay engaged to have any influence" over the actions of the Sudanese government in the Darfur region, where mass genocide is said to be taking place.
A JPMorgan spokeswoman said she could not immediately comment since the funds holding PetroChina are based in London and Hong Kong, and a Vanguard spokeswoman said two of the three funds with holdings in PetroChina are index funds tied to a benchmark. A Fidelity spokeswoman said many of the company's funds with PetroChina holdings are run by a sister company, Fidelity International, based in London. The Globe attempted to reach a spokesman there with no success. The Fidelity spokeswoman in the U.S. also noted that only two of the funds holding PetroChina are based in the States with total holdings of only $65 million.
Hedge Fund Honchos Make More in 10 Minutes Than Average Worker in a Year
The top 20 hedge fund executives' earnings averaged $655.5 million in 2006, according to a report by the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy.
By comparison, the average U.S. worker earned $29,500 last year, which means that at an average hourly salary of $210,700 for the top hedge fund honchos, they earned more in 10 minutes than most Americans do in a year.

text: I have an '87 BMW 325is. It was my dad's car. He passed away in 2000. Last year the washer reservoir started leaking. I finally looked at it and it is cracked on the bottom where a plastic bracket is welded on. What is the best way to seal something like that? Since it will always have exposure to fluid I don't think regular gasket sealers or silicones will work. Epoxies?

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation was dealt an embarrassing blow yesterday as the Church of England sold its entire stake in the media company in the wake of the phone-hacking fiasco.
The Church said it had decided to sell its £1.9m shareholding because it was not convinced that News Corp had sufficiently reformed in response to the scandal.
The decision came after a year of negotiations between News Corp executives and the Church's ethical investment advisory group, which has been reacting to "serious concerns" about the revelations which emerged from the company's British newspapers business, News International.
The Church of England also sold its stake in the controversial Indian mining company, Vedanta Resources, in 2010 amid concerns about its human rights record.Reuse content

Pregnancy Research
Research on acupuncture and pregnancy
We conclude that limited evidence supports acupuncture use in treating pregnancy-related pelvic and back pain. Additional high-quality trials are needed to test the existing promising evidence for this relatively safe and popular complementary therapy.
The objective of our study was to review the effectiveness of needle acupuncture in treating the common and disabling problem of pelvic and back pain in pregnancy. Two small trials on mixed pelvic/back pain and 1 large high-quality trial on pelvic pain met the inclusion criteria. Acupuncture, as an adjunct to standard treatment, was superior to standard treatment alone and physiotherapy in relieving mixed pelvic/back pain. Women with well-defined pelvic pain had greater relief of pain with a combination of acupuncture and standard treatment, compared to standard treatment alone or stabilizing exercises and standard treatment. We used a narrative synthesis due to significant clinical heterogeneity between trials. Few and minor adverse events were reported.

CONCLUSION: Acupuncture and stabilising exercises constitute efficient complements to standard treatment for the management of pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy. Acupuncture was superior to stabilising exercises in this study.
OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of standard treatment, standard treatment plus acupuncture, and standard treatment plus stabilising exercises for pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy.
DESIGN: Randomised single blind controlled trial. Settings East Hospital, Gothenburg, and 27 maternity care centres in Sweden.
PARTICIPANTS: 386 pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain.
INTERVENTIONS: Treatment for six weeks with standard treatment (n = 130), standard treatment plus acupuncture (n = 125), or standard treatment plus stabilising exercises (n = 131).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcome measure was pain (visual analogue scale); secondary outcome measure was assessment of severity of pelvic girdle pain by an independent examiner before and after treatment.
RESULTS: After treatment the stabilising exercise group had less pain than the standard group in the morning (median difference = 9, 95% confidence interval 1.7 to 12.8; P = 0.0312) and in the evening (13, 2.7 to 17.5; P = 0.0245). The acupuncture group, in turn, had less pain in the evening than the stabilising exercise group (-14, -18.1 to -3.3; P = 0.0130). Furthermore, the acupuncture group had less pain than the standard treatment group in the morning (12, 5.9 to 17.3; P < 0.001) and in the evening (27, 13.3 to 29.5; P < 0.001). Attenuation of pelvic girdle pain as assessed by the independent examiner was greatest in the acupuncture group.

CONCLUSION: The short acupuncture protocol demonstrated symptom reduction and a response rate comparable to those observed in standard depression treatments of similar length and could be a viable treatment option for depression during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the efficacy of acupuncture for depression during pregnancy in a randomized controlled trial.
METHODS: A total of 150 pregnant women who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) criteria for major depressive disorder were randomized to receive either acupuncture specific for depression or one of two active controls: control acupuncture or massage. Treatments lasted 8 weeks (12 sessions). Junior acupuncturists, who were not told about treatment assignment, needled participants at points prescribed by senior acupuncturists. All treatments were standardized. The primary outcome was the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, administered by masked raters at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Continuous data were analyzed using mixed effects models and by intent to treat.
RESULTS: Fifty-two women were randomized to acupuncture specific for depression, 49 to control acupuncture, and 49 to massage. Women who received acupuncture specific for depression experienced a greater rate of decrease in symptom severity (P<.05) compared with the combined controls (Cohen's d=0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01–0.77) or control acupuncture alone (P<.05; Cohen's d=0.46, 95% CI 0.01–0.92). They also had significantly greater response rate (63.0%) than the combined controls (44.3%; P<.05; number needed to treat, 5.3; 95% CI 2.8–75.0) and control acupuncture alone (37.5%; P<.05: number needed to treat, 3.9; 95% CI 2.2–19.8). Symptom reduction and response rates did not differ significantly between controls (control acupuncture, 37.5%; massage, 50.0%).

Conclusions: Prebirth acupuncture appeared to provide some promising therapeutic benefits in assisting women to have a normal vaginal birth. A further randomized controlled study is warranted.
Background Midwives in Wellington, New Zealand, observed that women receiving prebirth acupuncture consistently experienced efficient labors, reporting a reduction in the length of labor and medical intervention, specifically the use of epidurals, medical inductions, and cesarean deliveries.
Objective To undertake a naturalistic observational study of women receiving acupuncture as part of their antenatal care.
Design, Setting, and Patients Practices of 14 midwives recorded their prebirth acupuncture treatments over a 4-month period in 2004 in 169 New Zealand women who received prebirth acupuncture.
Main Outcome Measures Gestation at onset of labor, incidence of medical induction, length of labor, use of analgesia, and type of delivery.
Results When compared with the local population rates, there was an overall 35% reduction in the number of inductions (for primigravida women, this was a 43% reduction); 31% reduction in the epidural rate; 32% reduction in emergency cesarean delivery; and a 9% increase in normal vaginal birth.

Pregnancy Treatment
Prevention of miscarriage, treatment of nausea, depression and stress, headaches, restless legs, back pain, breech presentation, preparation for labour, and post-partum breastfeeding and emotional issues.
In my experience, acupuncture is good for treating many conditions and uncomfortable issues associated with being pregnant.
Prevent miscarriage. Treatments 1-2 times per week help prevent miscarriage or early pregnancy loss by reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, and encouraging blood flow to the developing embryo.
Spotting (sub-chorionic hematoma). Acupuncture employed with a technique called moxabustion can help reduce or eliminate bleeding from the uterus (depending on the cause).
Nausea or morning sickness. Depending on the severity of the nausea, 1-5 acupuncture treatments per week may be necessary to restore quality of life and the ability to eat. Often acupuncture is very effective for this condition, especially if combined with the knowledge and practice of keeping blood sugar levels consistent throughout the day.
Headaches. From my experience, many women experience headaches toward the end of their first trimester. Acupuncture is known better for the relief of pain than for any other ailment. If you are experiencing headaches that are not just obviously associated with dehydration or fatigue, then try acupuncture.
Depression. The balancing of many emotional conditions is a primary principle of treatment when pregnant women come to my practice. Acupuncture combined with singing lessons administered by singing teacher proficient in proper breathing techniques is quite effective for pregnancy or post-partum related depression. Sing the blues away.
Stress. Hormones secreted by the adrenal glands cause anxiety and stress. During pregnancy, this can affect the amount of life giving blood flow feeding the embryo. Therefore reducing stress or using techniques such as acupuncture to alleviate stress is important.
Restless legs. Acupuncture has shown some promise in relieving the sometimes agonising frustration associated with restless legs. If you have it you understand what I am talking about. You may also need more calcium in your diet.
Back pain. Again, acupuncture is fundamentally one of the best choices humans have for relieving pain of any kind. Cupping and moxabustion may also be administered when back pain is effecting a woman that is pregnant.
Breech presentation. Studies have shown that moxabustion can be effective at turning a baby that is presenting breech. Is is most effective if done daily for 10-14 days between the weeks of 34-36.
Labour preparation or cervical ripening. Between the weeks of 37-40, acupuncture given once per week helps prepare a woman for labour by boosting vital energy and ensuring smooth flow of emotions and blood during the process. Induction is most often not needed when women commit to the cervical ripening acupuncture protocol.
Induction of Labour. I have personally seen many women move swiftly into active labour after just one acupuncture induction treatment. Sometimes 2-3 are required within 1 week post due date.
Mastitis. Blocked milk duct. Acupuncture given quickly enough, along with somewhat aggressive self-massage and herbal compresses, can help hasten the recovery from a mastitis infection. This infection can progress quickly so do not hesitate to get treatment and do everything you can at home as well.
Lack of breast milk. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs, when given alongside a Guiness beer per day has shown moderate to good results with increasing the amount of milk production.
Pregnancy General
General information on pregnancy & acupuncture in Vancouver
This is a 5 part diagnostic toward the end of the first trimester of pregnancy;
1. Nuchal Translucency
This is an ultrasound measurement of fluid between the spine and the skin of the fetal neck, done best at 11-14 weeks.
2. Nasal Bone
This is the ultrasound determination of calcium in the nasal cartilage.
3. Ductus Venosus
This is an ultrasound measurement of blood flow through a small vessel in the fetal liver.
4. hCG
A blood test that measures a protein made by the placenta which can go up or down in genetic syndromes and other conditions.
A blood test that measures another protein made by the placenta and the fetus
Yes. If you do not have a woman in your life, that lives close by, that you trust deeply, and that can be there for you whenever she gets the call, a doula is something to strongly consider when approaching labour and delivery. A doula is someone who is there for you every step of the way through your labour and delivery. They are knowledgeable about most everything you are going through, and are great support for both you and your husband or partner. In the old village, there would have been wise women around that would have been there for the labouring women. In today's reality, birth has been largely hospitalized, therefore the first birth a woman attends is her own. This can give rise to many fears that can slow and hault labour.

*take with food, and spread out with meals.
*eat like a rabbit. Always be munching. Try to eat more protein rich foods. Avoid high/simple sugar content foods.
*book recommendation: the mother of all pregnancy books (banyen books, 4th & alma). Do not read 'what to expect when you are expecting'.
*walking is enough for exercise for the 1st trimester.
*listen to your body, if you are tired, rest. If you feel sleepy, go to bed. If you are hungry, eat.
*try to ground some of your negative energy in the trees. They are great for this.
*work is not your priority anymore. delegate where you can.
*alleviate stress: acupuncture, walks, girl time. regularly schedule these things.
Accept all the above as your most important job now. These are your priorities.

Drake Stealing Lyrics?
Photo: Getty
According to TMZ, Drake had to pay off a rapper for "borrowing" his rhymes. In other words, Drake may have stolen some of his lyrics in YG's "Who Do You Love" song. Drake used some lyrics from Rappin' 4-Tay's 1994 "Playaz Club" song. And we know these days, other artists are serious about their samples. So of course, 4-Tay felt some type of way and tweeted about not receiving his credit. To settle and put this all behind him, Drake agreed to pay $100k to 4-Tay for using his lyrics. C'mon Drake!

The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College, Wenzhou, China
SESSION TYPE: Bronchology Global Case Report Posters
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Airway stenosis result from bronchial tuberculosis is one of the most common cause of non-malignat airway stenosis. Balloon dilatation has become an accepted treatment to fibrotic stenosis from bronchial tuberculosis. For stenosis from active bronchial tuberculosis, interventional bronchoscopy treatment is controversial, still not standardized or unified around the world. Now we report a case of bronchial stenosis from active bronchial tuberculosis , in addition to active anti-tuberculosis treatment, we also give several interventional endoscopic treatments and success in the treatment.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old girl presented with cough , low-grade fever for 6 months, and dyspnea for half month. She was a student with non-smoke and no past medical history . She already received systemic antituberculosis treatment for 6 months. Physical examination revealed diffuse wheezing in the lung, and she was tachypneic. Initial chest CT scan showed right mainstem bronchial stenosis, atelectasis of right middle lobe , enlargement of mediastinal lymph node(Fig 1~2). Bronchoscopy examination revealed large necrotic materials and granulation tissue in the right middle bronchus and completely obstruct the the right middle lobe (Fig 7~8). Parts of the necrotic materials were removed with biopsy forceps. Tissue also sent for pathologic examination and found necrotic granoloma in the tissue, bronchial brushings for acid-fast bacilli were positive, then active bronchial tuberculosis was confirmed. In addition to continuing antituberculosis drug therapy, she was received interventional brochoscopy treatment once a week, remove of necrotic materials, injection of antituberculosis drugs in bronchus with INH(every time 0.1g) and amikacin(every time 0.2g)and combine with crotherapy (Fig 9~10). After 2 months later, she received about 10times interventional bronchoscopic treatment ,she was improved and 6 months later, she became asymptomatic . 6 maonths later, repeat CT scan revealed shrink of mediastinal lymph nodes , right middle lung infiltration was improved (Fig 3~4). In the same time, bronchoscopy apperance showed significant improvement (Fig 11~12). 9 months later, CT scan showed little fibrotic abnormal in the right middle lobe (Fig 5~6)and bronchoscopy apperance showed right middle bronchus with scarring formation (Fig13~14).
DISCUSSION: EBTB is classified into five types, inflammatory huperaemia(I),mucosal ulcetation(II), hyperplastic polyp(III), bronchostenosis (IV)and malacia of bronchial wall(V). Type I,II,III are belong to active bronchial tuberculosis. For active bronchial tuberculosis , main therapy is effective antituberculosis treatment, but when large necrotic materials obstruct the bronchi and result in obstructive pneumonia,or ateclectasis, intervention bronchoscopy treatment play an important role in it. Although intervention bronchoscopy methodsconsist of electrocautery, , metal stent, and mechanical or balloon dialation and crotherapy,,even mitomycin C for tracheal stenosis. Whichtmethodis prefer for active bronchial tuberculosis is controversial. We think combine therapy is a good choice in the management of stenosis from active bronchial tuberculosis, first removed necrotic materials to relieve obstruction, and crotherapy arround tissue, then injection with antituberculosis drugs into the diseased bronchus. Some series reported the successful use of cryotherapy in the treatment of experimental benign tracheal strictures .It may have advantages over other treatments by modulating the healing response and resulting in improved healing and less refibrosis. But hao many times that patients need to receive or when begin to do, all these questions need to further study.
CONCLUSIONS: When active bronchial tuberculosis result in obstructive pneumonia and ateclectasis,even bronchiectasis. In addition toantituberculosis chemotherapy, interventional bronchoscope therapy may play a important role in the management.

Sage instantly went into panic mode at the sight of the dragon. Past experiences with dragons made her weary of this one. Even more nerve wrecking was the unclad man who stood in the dragon's place after it had disappeared. Heat rose up into her cheeks. She was careful not to look anywhere below his neck.
The man-dragon was culture shock for Galvenston's people. They knew little of the beasts and legends that existed beyond the gates of the Empire. Sage examined this man's face. His eyes were wide in alarm. His beard was stark black against his bare skin. Her fear dissolved into pity for the bewildered man. She paid no mind to the awkward prolonged silence as she studied him. Was he a lycan? A shapeshifter? Baron cleared his throat, reminding her that it was impolite to gawk. Her throat had gone dry. "Who are you?" She whispered. The man shot her a curious look. He knelt down to pick up a memento from the abandoned shack. It was a cast iron pot. "I am Lord." He whispered placing the pot upon his head.
The drunks ate this up and roared with laughter. Sage looked to Baron for advice. Baron offered the confused man, his tunic. He stepped into the tunic shoving it down upon his waist like a gladiator. The men stopped laughing long enough to study the curious man.
Sage wasn't great at consoling people, but in the last month she had gained experience. She took the man- creature's hand gently. "I am the Empress, commander of Galvenston. You are welcome to stay... Lord."
He gave me a puzzled look, " My name is Saffron." He said slowly. The men began to howl like hyenas at Saffron's confusion.
"Saffron." Sage repeated. She held up the man's arm. "You will all silence yourselves. This is Saffron and he is far braver than the lot of you! We shall acknowledge his bravery." She announced proudly, before dropping his limp arm. The men grew quiet for a moment.
"Nay! Let's provoke him into a beast and cook up that dragon meat for dinner!" The bitter old man she came to know as Lei Shan, suggested.
"No!" She shouted. Were her people really that bad off that they would resort to borderline cannibalism? "Don't you understand this man is a symbol of hope! We may win this war yet." She said, though she wasn't sure if she believed it herself. Sage glanced up at the man wearing with the pot on his head. He would need some work....

Looks like RHOA star Porsha Stewart is reportedly pregnant by estranged husband Kordell Stewart. Just a week ago it was revealed that Kordell never planned to divorce Porsha and it was all a publicity stunt. But according to a source if the two do spilt it could get messy becasue Kordell doesn't want to give up any money. If the the pregnancy rumors are true the couple will more than likely return for season 6 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. This story line is going to be juicy if Porsha and Kordell do return!

Apple Inc Stories March 30, 2016
With Apple rumored to working on sleeker versions of its 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro models in time for a possible reveal at WWDC, designer Martin Hajek has provided one possible take on how the new machines might look. His mockups essentially scale up the 12-inch MacBook design, the above image contrasting with the existing design.
The renders also incorporate a rather lovely OS X concept created by Andrew Ambrosino, the UX designer behind the standalone Apple Music app concept we showed you last year. The same duo also teamed up for a beautiful Apple TV concept.

Apple Inc Stories March 29, 2016
See italicised updates below, with statements from both the Department of Justice and Apple.
The battle between the FBI and Apple over accessing a work phone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists started as headline news and ended in a rather anti-climactic fashion.
The high-profile congressional hearing was due to be followed by a big showdown in court. Instead, the FBI asked that the hearing be vacated, and later quietly announced that it had, with help, managed to gain access to the phone. Nothing to see here, move along.
But while this particular case may be settled, it's extremely unlikely that this will be the end of the matter – for two reasons …
While the FBI has successfully accessed the data on the iPhone 5c in the San Bernardino shootings, and the court battle is over for now, the government says that it may not accede to Apple's demand to be told the method used.
The White House said back in 2014 that the government would consider the pros and cons of disclosing vulnerabilities discovered by its various law enforcement agencies. ArsTechnica asked whether the FBI would reveal the method used in this case, and was told that it wasn't saying one way or the other …

If the numbers are correct, adding in orders direct from Apple and in other countries could see some very impressive sales numbers …

New York University Graduate Program Committee
About the Graduate Program Committee
The Graduate Program Committee (GPC) reviews and recommends to the Provost the approval of proposals from colleges, schools, and portal campuses with respect to new graduate programs granting master's and doctoral degrees. The Committee evaluates all master's and doctoral program proposals to ensure that the University's colleges, schools, and portal campuses with graduate components maintain comparable standards of work for the degrees. It ensures that there has been consultation with the relevant colleges, schools, and/or portal campuses; and that there is minimal curricular overlap between or among the units. The Committee also may formulate recommendations to the Provost on other matters that relate to graduate education in the University. The Committee does not review new program concentrations, however they must be submitted to New York State Education Department via the Office of Academic Program Review.
The committee is advisory to the Provost and is co-chaired by C. Cybele Raver, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Analytics and Graduate Academic Affairs, and Anna Harvey, GSAS Interim Dean. It is staffed by Dale Rejtmar, GSAS Executive Assistant to the Dean and Administrative Manager.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a court date coming. basically in the final judgement I was ordered to pay a 400% in child support with retroactive backdated to 3 years ago - so basically I'm now owing about $40,000 OVERNIGHT !
My family business has been dissolved and I am out of a job with no income. I was sent to jail twice before even though I have no income.
We are appearing at court again on a contempt but also were able to put a motion of "Stay of execution" - so the judges original orders are back until the appeals case kicks in.
I may have to leave the country due to a family emergency - does this put me at a disadvantage ? Can the judge decide NOT to hear the stay of execution argument since contempt is on the docket and I am not physically there?
This can have negative consequences for your case. You need to go into court as soon as possible to see what you can do to postpone this hearing until you can appear or you can arrange for counsel to appear and have the court waive your appearance. If you cannot afford an attorney, you need to get the court to agree to postponing the hearing. Not showing up will harm your case.

Naturally, it took my very special insight to see all this. To the untutored eye all would have looked normal; two dozen or so Labour MPs gathered together to ask questions about National Heritage and, of course, to laugh at Virginia Bottomley. A harmless enough pastime to be sure, but beneath the surface there was a roiling undertow, a confusion, a deep unease. Which policy was next for the chop?
Man of the moment is Newport's hirsute member, Paul Flynn. Through the early afternoon Mr Flynn appeared in, and disappeared from, the Chamber several times. Unfolletted in appearance to begin with, his hair and beard became gradually more disarranged as he rushed between House and studios, his tie loosening and his jacket riding up. Another couple of hours and he would have been down to his socks. Such sartorial carelessness made him a magnet to admiring would-be rebels on the Labour benches.
Tony Banks came and told him a rude story, Diane Abbott shared one of her strange girlish giggles with him, Jeremy Corbyn sat in front of him and had a little smoulder. Rebellion was in the air!
And it was hardly surprising. New Labour's policies are difficult to understand sometimes. Take, for example, the important matter of the seaside. Roger Gale (Con, North Thanet) asked Virginia a Tory Heritage Question (a THQ consists of an avid free-market MP requesting vast sums of lottery money for his or her constituency) about the reconstruction of Margate.
Mrs Bottomley solemnly told the House that she was "a great believer in the British seaside holiday". This gave rise to titters in the Labour ranks, as they mentally pictured the Secretary of State in McGill-like poses on Margate sands. "Of course", thundered Virginia, "such denigration of the seaside bodes ill for the seaside holiday industry, should the party opposite come to power!" And it's true.
Paul Flynn may be wedded to the windy delights of Barry Island, but one suspects that New Labour means good only to the villa-renters of Tuscany and the Dordogne. Mrs McSorley's guesthouse (no dogs, children or sex) will be an early casualty of a change of government.
More evidence of Blairist backsliding came from Jacqui Lait (Con, Hastings and Rye), who revealed that June's edition of Lottery Monitor had suggested that Labour might use lottery money for education and stuff like that.
Lawks a mussy me, exclaimed Ginny, horrified, this would be "a betrayal of the principle of additionality!" Members opposite were thunderstruck - not additionality! Betray socialism, sell out over equality, turn your back on human rights - but for God's sake, Tony, leave additionality intact!
Just how far this tinkering has gone was exposed later on by that veteran, Tam Dalyell. Mr Dalyell, who manages successfully to negotiate the fine line between portentousness and pomposity, made reference to the South African Foreign Minister "Dr Nzozo". Could this, I wondered, be how New Labour now described the estimable Dr Alfred Nzo? Was this the dread additionality by which we are all to have our names extended? If so it's tough on Dawn Primarolorolo and Keith Vzazazaz. And on me.

Man, it has been one stressful week for me, I really gotta tell you all. I may look about 117 months pregnant, but it's movie promo time, so I went on the Jay Leno show to do a little song and dance for my upcoming misery fest, Things We Lost In The Fire, and for some reason this involved me holding up a photo of myself with a CGI big nose. "That could be my Jewish cousin!" I wisecracked, hilariously. Unbelievably, some people took offence at this comment, which is, like, totally ridiculous. As I quickly informed everyone in a moment of heart-wrenching honesty, I have nothing against Jews at all. In fact, quite a few members of my staff are Jewish! So what's the problem?
Whatever, I could tell from the way that Jay sucked in his lower lip so that he looked even more like a gnarled baked potato than usual that this had been a bit of a boo-boo and, waddyaknow, when the show was screened, the word "Jewish" was omitted, so now it looks like I'm dissing my cousin! I really can't win this week, can I?
So, highly conscious of my position as a strong female role model, one carefully cultivated through my consistently miserable film choices, I did what I had to do: I walked the red carpet for the film's London premiere with my pregnant boobs straining out of my Versace dress. Everyone happy now?

The declaration supports the establishment of five basic principles for Internet policy:
- Non-censorship of the internet
- Universal access to fast and affordable networks
- Freedom to connect, communicate, create and innovate over the Internet.
- Protection for new technologies and innovators whose innovations are abused by users.
- Privacy rights and the ability for Internet user to control information about them is used.

st: logit fixed effects models with weights
Wed, 5 May 2010 10:48:43 -0400
I am trying to estimate a logit fixed effects models with weights. -xtlogit- does not support either fweights or pweights. I am working with a dataset with more than 18,000 individuals, so it is not possible to include a dummy var for each individual. -clogit- supports weights, but they must be constant within group, and my weights vary at the individual level. My outcome is binary so -areg- will not work.
Are there any suggestions as to how to estimate this model?
Many thanks in advance.
