quote:Tetanus is a serious and often fatal disease caused by the neurotoxin tetanospasmin which is produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection usually originates from a contaminated wound, often a cut or deep puncture wound. Common symptoms are muscle spasms in the jaw (hence the common name lockjaw), followed by difficulty swallowing and general muscle stiffness in other parts of the body. Infection can be prevented by proper immunization, as well as by post-exposure prophylaxis. SymptomsThe incubation period for tetanus is 3 days to as long as 15 weeks (with the average being about 8 days) [1]. For neonates, the incubation period is 4 to 14 days, with 7 days being the average. Most of the time, the further the wound is from the central nervous system, the longer the incubation period. Incubation period length and likelihood of death are inversely proportional; a deep, contaminated wound that allows the bacteria to flourish and causes a quick, aggressive infection is much more life-threatening than a shallower, less-contaminated wound that causes milder symptoms to appear days or weeks later.The first sign of tetanus is a mild jaw muscle spasm called lockjaw (trismus), followed by stiffness of the neck and back, risus sardonicus, difficulty swallowing, and muscle rigidity in the abdomen. The stiffness and spasming of muscles expands throughout the body inferiorly, and can be so powerful that they cause muscle tears and even fractures[2]. These muscle contractions are due to tetanospasmina chemical released by C. tetaniwhich inhibits the release of both GABA and glycine, the neurotransmitters that serve to inhibit muscle contraction.Typical signs of tetanus include an increase in body temperature by 2 to 4°C, diaphoresis (excessive sweating), an elevated blood pressure, and an episodic rapid heart rate. Spasms and muscle contraction last for 3 to 4 weeks, and complete recovery may take months. About 30% of tetanus victims die, most of whom are elderly patients. In developing countries, the mortality rate may be as high as 60%.Complications of the disease include spasms of the larynx (vocal cords), accessory muscles (chest muscles used to aid in breathing), and the diaphragm (the primary breathing muscle); fractures of long bones secondary to violent muscle spasms; and hyperactivity of the autonomic nervous system.TreatmentThe wound must be cleaned; dead and infected tissue should be removed by surgical debridement. Metronidazole will help decrease the amount of bacteria but has no effect on the bacterial toxin. Penicillin has been used in the past to treat tetanus, but is no longer the treatment of choice because there is a theoretical risk that it can increase spasms; however, if metronidazole is not available penicillin should still be used. Human anti-tetanospasmin immunoglobulin (or tetanus immune globulin) is a crucial part of treatment; if specific anti-tetanospasmin immunoglobulin is not available then human normal immunoglobulin may be given instead. All tetanus victims should be vaccinated against tetanus or offered a booster vaccine if they have been previously vaccinated.Mild tetanusMild cases of tetanus can be treated on the ward. In addition to the measures given above:5000 units tetanus immune globulin IV or IM metronidazole 500mg IV for 10 days diazepam 5 to 20mg tds PO tetanus vaccination Severe tetanusThese patients will require admission to intensive care. In additional to the measures listed above for mild tetanus:human tetanus immunoglobulin 1000 units intrathecally (increases clinical improvement from 4% to 35%) tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation for 3 to 4 weeks diazepam 20 to 100mg per day continuous IV infusion autonomic features can be difficult to manage (alternating hyper- and hypotension, hyperpyrexia/hypothermia) and may require IV labetalol, magnesium, clonidine, nifedipine, etc. PreventionTetanus can be prevented by vaccination. A booster vaccine is recommended every ten years, and standard care in many places is to give the booster to any patient with a puncture wound who is uncertain of when he or she was last vaccinated. One Tetanus booster used presently is called TDap or DTaP (a protection from Diphtheria and Pertussis as well). The risk from Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (whooping cough) is higher than the risk of vaccine side-effects. There was a shortage of tetanus vaccine in the United States in 2001 and 2002, but this supply issue was corrected in 2003.Worldwide, there are approximately one million cases of tetanus each year. (There are about 100 cases and approximately five deaths each year in the USA.)

About a week after being bitten I felt very weak and cold and started shaking a bit. I went to emergency at 4 am and they gave me a tetanus shot as it had been a while maybe 12 yrs. since last one. since then for the last 5 days I have been sweating, no energy, dizzy, little appetite, sore back difficult swallowing etc. went to the er again yesterday to get checked they did a bloodtest and it was fine, no infections, normal. Said I had a virus and to sleep and drink lots of liquids. I am very naustious and I feel like crying sometimes, should I go in to get a TIG shot? What should I do. please get back to me asap.

quote:Bacteriologic analysis of infected dog and cat bites....To define better the bacteria responsible for infections of dog and cat bites, we conducted a prospective study at 18 emergency departments. To be eligible for enrollment, patients had to meet one of three major criteria for infection of a bite wound (fever, abscess, and lymphangitis) or four of five minor criteria (wound-associated erythema, tenderness at the wound site, swelling at the site, purulent drainage, and leukocytosis). Wound specimens were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria at a research microbiology laboratory and, in some cases, at local hospital laboratories.RESULTS: The infected wounds of 50 patients with dog bites and 57 patients with cat bites yielded a median of 5 bacterial isolates per culture (range, 0 to 16) at the reference laboratory. Significantly more isolates grew at the reference laboratory than at the local laboratories (median, 1; range, 0 to 5; P<0.001). Aerobes and anaerobes were isolated from 56 percent of the wounds, aerobes alone from 36 percent, and anaerobes alone from 1 percent; 7 percent of cultures had no growth. Pasteurella species were the most frequent isolates from both dog bites (50 percent) and cat bites (75 percent). Pasteurella canis was the most common isolate of dog bites, and Past. multocida subspecies multocida and septica were the most common isolates of cat bites. Other common aerobes included streptococci, staphylococci, moraxella, and neisseria. Common anaerobes included fusobacterium, bacteroides, porphyromonas, and prevotella. Isolates not previously identified as human pathogens included Reimerella anatipestifer from two cat bites and Bacteroides tectum, Prevotella heparinolytica, and several porphyromonas species from dog and cat bites. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from two cat bites. Patients were most often treated with a combination of a beta-lactam antibiotic and a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which, on the basis of the microbiologic findings, was appropriate therapy.CONCLUSIONS: Infected dog and cat bites have a complex microbiologic mix that usually includes pasteurella species but may also include many other organisms not routinely identified by clinical microbiology laboratories and not previously recognized as bite-wound pathogens.from: Talan DA et al. N Engl J Med. 1999 Jan 14;340(2):85-92.

Century (Red Alert iPhone)
this wiki
Century caught in nuclear blast
Bomber aircraft
The Century was the Allies' bomber aircraft that replaced the Harrier.
Game Unit
The Century was a VTOL that had propellers that made sure it stayed airborne. It also had a jet engine that allows it to move faster than the Kirov. Its origins are unknown, however it was made by an unknown Allied company after the War with Yuri.
After the Post-War Crisis, Future-Tech saw Einstein's Plans of the Century and the Apollo and used the original designs for use against the Empire and Anatoly Cherdenko.
Since the Century has no counters for anti-aircraft (AA Weapons). Infantry that have AA capability have a good chance of killing it but it can destroy those infantry in a shot and when it's destroyed, it will damage infantry below it. Also super weapons especially the nuclear bomb can heavily damage these beasts.

Because of its growing presence in the relationship between businesses and customers, it's important to be able to answer the question, what is Social CRM (SCRM)? Knowing how the process works and how it can benefit both businesses and consumers is essential to making social crm management effective.
SCRM is social customer relationship management, and it's an enhanced form of crm that moves the customer to the front and center of the business stage. Social crm, as its name implies, uses social media sites to build relationships between the customer and company. It makes them more transparent, while at the same time making them more intimate. SCRM implementation by a company allows it to interact with customers on their chosen social platforms, build personal relationships with those customers, and not only take data away that can be used to enhance marketing and sales, but give control of the relationship to the customer to freely express thoughts, concerns, likes, and dislikes with the company out in the open.
Some of the questions commonly asked of SCRM and its interaction with various aspects of a business are answered below:
From a customer relationship viewpoint, what is Social CRM? It is complete ownership of the brand by the consumer. It is the brand's presence on social media sites, day and night, collecting and responding to feedback from the consumer, positive and negative. It is responding to customer's issues rapidly, and ensuring their complete satisfaction in the process.
From a marketing standpoint, what is Social CRM? It is targeted promotional programs that are based on data collected through crm software and social media sites, and delivered to specific audiences in forums of their choosing, not the company's. It is about delivering the message to customers and potential customers where they reside, not where the business resides. It takes advantage of social media to promote the product without shoving the product in consumers' faces.
From a sales outlook, what is Social CRM? It is discovering what the customer wants and needs based on social commentary and feedback, and then delivering it. It again uses the analytics of crm applications, but combines that with data gathered from social media interactions and message boards to develop leads and deliver results to the client.
From a business perspective, what is Social CRM? It is a complete integration of all departments within a company, aligned with a single purpose – a satisfying customer experience. It is an analysis of data from crm software and social media sites, and the distribution of that data to the marketing and sales departments for targeted advertising, lead generation, and sales. It is a customer service organization armed with all of the information it can gather about a particular client through its direct and indirect interactions with that customer. It is about creating partnerships with consumers, and making them participants in the success of the business.

Blessed By Magic (Or Is It Science?)
Well, actually Alicia had learned that being able to cast magic was because of the rapidly firing synapses in commonly unused sections of the brain. The extra energy these parts expelled from the body caused various reactions within the atmosphere when combined with multiple trigger words, similar to what Petricia had displayed earlier with changing her dagger into a bracelet. The amount of magic cast by a user was based on their brain activity and physical prowess. But really, why bother with specifics?
"Fayri are more naturally adept to the mystic arts, most likely due to their connection to the Spirits. Due to this, they can release a sort of seal that direction connects a human to its Spirit Guardian. The mark is a sort of enhancer of magical and physical attributes throughout the human body, utilizing energy from their Guide."
"Your mark obviously indicates that your guide is the rabbit. What physical properties that might entail, I do not know. That is for you to discover on your own. I can tell you what affinity your magical properties will affect because of the color though and I believe you can as well." It was the color black, the element of stone.
"What interests me the most is what circumstances were that allowed you acquire the mark, seeing as fayri only give it to those that they deem trustworthy." Alicia felt Petricia wince beside her, the blonde sliding a hand into the auburn's own.
"I'm not too sure to be honest. I've had it as long as I can remember. I can't recall an instance where it wasn't there for all to see." The princess went silent as she attempted to go through her memory, but nothing that came to mind reflected her being given the mark by her fayri guardian.
"Well then ya have any idea what yer pal Chester was going on about when he mentioned this Spider-Teller person?" Petricia asked her offhandedly, her attention on the passing scenery.
The girl shook her head, the phrase brand new to her. She had never once heard of such a thing.

One of the stupidest human activities on prominent display?
But of course they are both still slaves to fashion. And what's more they think that what they're wearing on TV today is perfect and beyond reproach, because it is "current"!
Do they really not realize that in another 20 years there will be some other announcers on TV mocking how stupid what they are wearing today looks? This summer they will be wearing orange, because "orange is this summer's black," and announcers of the future will be ridiculing them for their ridiculous color choice.

Making Wine at the End of the World
Simon Back, who is among the fourth generation to helm Backsberg Wines & Estates, stands on his deck in Paarl, South Africa, raising a glass of Merlot with his merlot vineyards behind him.
When there is very little between you and the Antarctic, making wine is a challenge. When there are relatively few Jews, making kosher wine is a bit more of a challenge. When those Jews come from a mishmash of backgrounds including Portuguese, Dutch, English and Lithuanian, the wines must be able to appeal to a wide range of palates and plates.
Never say South Africans don't like a challenge.

"The owners are doing this out of a sense of service to the Jewish community, a sense of duty," said Jean van Rooyen, 46, the winemaker for Kleine Draken, South Africa's only all-kosher winery. Mendal Kaplan, who owned a steel company, bought the vineyards that were to become Kleine Draken in 1983 as a service to the Jewish community. His brother, Robert, and another director at the company, Nathan Friedman, took on the job of overseeing the winery. The aim remains to produce kosher wine at a reasonable price. At the time, all kosher wine was. At the time, all kosher wine was imported — and it was expensive.
Jean van Rooyen, winemaker for Kleine Draken, in a vineyard in Paarl, South Africa, filled with 40-year old sauvignon blanc vines.
There are just 70,000 Jews living in South Africa, down from a high of 120,000 in the 1970s. Of those who remain, most are descendants of the Lithuanians who fled pogroms around the turn of the 20th century. They are also mostly Orthodox, but not everyone drinks wine, so the result is a very small domestic market.
"Yes, it is not a good business model," laughed Simon Back of Backsberg Wines & Estates, another South African winery that produces several kosher wines. A member of the fourth generation to own and work the estate, Back, 31, studied finance and economics and is more of a marketer than a winemaker. As a result, Backsberg exports to the United States and Europe, so it is possible to buy its wines — Chardonnay, Pinotage, Merlot, Kiddush and a sparkler they just started making in 2011 — in the New York metropolitan area.
The merlot vineyards of Backsberg Estates.
"Making kosher wine is an involved process," Back said. "Starting with the harvesting of the grapes, anyone (Jews and non-Jews alike) is allowed to pick the grapes. Once the grapes come into the cellar, their skins broken and the juice exposed, however, only observant Jews are allowed to handle the production of the wine."
Mannie Eini, an Israeli who immigrated to South Africa nearly 30 years ago, serves as the mashgiach for Backsberg. A Sabbath-observant Jew who was trained by a rabbi when he first arrived, Eini is the only one who handles the grapes in the cellar until their juices are flash pasteurized, which renders them mevushal (cooked). Then anyone can help with the fermentation process and turn what is about 800 gallons of juice into wine.
Both producers' wines carry the Orthodox Union Certificate and the Cape Beth Din Kosher Certificate; and they each face the vagaries of Mother Nature — too much rain, not enough rain; too much heat, not enough heat. "In terms of animals," Van Rooyen said, "birds are probably our biggest concern." Birds are a major problem for wineries the world over. They love grapes and can consume most of a vintner's crop if left unprotected.
At least they don't have to worry about the penguins, Back said, laughing. His vineyards are less than 60 miles from a flock of them at Boulder's Beach near The Cape of Good Hope.
"Making wine is a passion for us," said Back, a self-described secular Jew, whose family business will turn 100 next year. "We make wines to provide pleasure and enjoyment and … with a high level of drinkability."
He recommends pairing Backsberg kosher pinotage with his grandmother's brisket with carrot tzimmes. (The recipe is here.)
Van Rooyen, who has 20 harvests under his belt, aims to make his wines fruity and easy to drink — and to provide good value. He is not keen on wine-food pairing. " I would like to think that I want people to drink whatever wine they like," he said.
The odds of a third winery joining the kosher market niche are slim. But Kleine Draken's determination and Backsberg's passion for wine does mean the Jews of South Africa will have kosher wines — and not just for Shabbat — for generations to come.
A former Reuters journalist and a qualified sommelier, Leslie Gevirtz has been reporting and writing about wine for the past decade. In addition to Reuters, her stories have appeared in Meininger's Wine Business International, Le PAN and wine-searcher.com.

Mike Florio ofô Pro Football Talkô reports thatô a league source has informed him that the Saints havenãt begun contract discussions with TEô Jimmy Graham and adds thatô thereãsô ãno indicationã that they will. Graham, 26, will be entering the final year of his contract next season and has a base salary ofô $1.323 million. Heãs quickly become one of the best weapons in the league and thereãs no doubt that the Saints would like to ensure that he remains in New Orleans for the foreseeable future. Florio makes the point that the Saints could probably save money in the long-run by addressing his contract now rather than allow him to gain extra leverage as he nears free agency. But, the real issue for New Orleans is the fact that theyãre in a tough cap situation and are prepared to make the transition to a 3-4 base defense next year. There has already been plenty of talk that they could shed a number of big salaries in the coming weeks, but even then it wouldnãt be easy to fit a long-term deal for Graham into their salary cap. It looks like Graham could possibly be headed for a franchise tag in 2014, assuming that they donãt start negotiations at some point later in the year.

Fact Sheet: Veteran Homelessness
Fact Sheets | April 22, 2015
Files: Fact Sheet: Veteran Homelessness (PDF | 151 KB | 2 pages)
Updated April 2015
How many homeless veterans are in America?
In January 2014, communities across America identified 49,933 homeless veterans during point-in-time counts, which represents 8.6 percent of the total homeless population. This represents a substantial decrease (67.4 percent) in the number of homeless veterans counted only five years previously in 2009.i Though veterans continue to remain overrepresented in the homeless population in America,ii these recent decreases demonstrate the marked progress that has been made in ending veteran homelessness.
What are the typical demographics of homeless veterans?
Homeless veterans tend to be male (91 percent), single (98 percent), live in a city (76 percent), and have a mental and/or physical disability (54 percent). Black veterans are substantially overrepresented among homeless veterans, comprising 39 percent of the total homeless veteran population but only 11 percent of the total veteran population.
As troops return from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the face of veteran homelessness has changed: homeless veterans are increasingly younger, female, and heads of households. Despite this, homeless veterans are still most likely to be males between the ages of 51 and 61 (43 percent)iii and to have served in the Vietnam War.iv And, in the next 10 to 15 years, it is projected that the number of homeless veterans over the age of 55 could increase drastically.v
Why do veterans experience homelessness?
Veterans are more likely than civilians to experience homelessness.vi Like the general homeless population, veterans are at a significantly increased risk of homelessness if they have low socioeconomic status, a mental health disorder, and/or a history of substance abuse. Yet, because of veterans' military service, this population is at higher risk of experiencing traumatic brain injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), both of which have been found to be among the most substantial risk factors for homelessness.vii Among the recent Iraq and Afghanistan cohort of veterans—who are more frequently female than their older counterparts—an experience of sexual trauma while serving in the military greatly increases the risk of homelessness. Additionally, veterans often experience difficulty returning to civilian life, particularly those without strong social support networks, and may not have skills that can be easily transferred to employment outside of the military.viii Veterans face the same shortage of affordable housing options and living wage jobs as all Americans, and these factors—combined with the increased likelihood that veterans will exhibit symptoms of PTSD, substance abuse, or mental illness—can compound to put veterans at a greater risk of homelessness than the general population.
What federal programs serve homeless veterans?
Homeless veterans can receive assistance both from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), provided they have an eligible discharge status, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), regardless of discharge status. In a joint supportive housing program between the two departments (HUD-VASH), Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers housing vouchers are combined with case management and supportive services at VA medical centers. Since 2008, nearly 70,000 VASH vouchers have been awarded to Public Housing Authorities across the US. Evaluation of the HUD-VASH program has found a number of positive outcomes for participants, including an increase in employment and income, the number of days housed, and social networks.ix Additionally, the HUD-VASH program has been found to have a one-year cost savings of approximately on $6,000 per participant on health services.x
In 2012, VA introduced the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, with the parallel goals of both preventing veteran homelessness and rapidly re-housing veterans and veteran families who do fall into homelessness. The program provides a variety of time-limited services and financial assistance. In its first two years, the SSVF program aided almost 100,000 individuals in over 61,000 households, spending $2,480 per household; after being housed, only 9.4 percent of veteran families returned to homelessness one year after exiting the program, and only 15.5 percent returned to homelessness two years after exit.xi
SSVF and HUD-VASH are the main response to veteran homelessness in many communities; however, there are numerous other resources for assisting veterans in a housing crisis. The Grant and Per Diem transitional housing program and Domiciliary Care programs funded through the Veterans Health Administration offer temporary assistance to veterans as bridge or crisis housing. The Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program under the Department of Labor assists homeless veterans with employment skills and job searches.
Are we ending veteran homelessness?
In 2009, then-VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, in tandem with President Barack Obama, set forth the audacious goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015. Current VA Secretary Robert MacDonald also supports this goal. To help secure commitments to this goal, in June 2014 First Lady Michelle Obama announced the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness. The First Lady has received pledges from 355 mayors, 7 governors, and 112 county and city officials to end veteran homelessness in their communities by the end of 2015.xii
In January 2015, New Orleans became the first major city to announce that it had ended veteran homelessness. Throughout 2015, other communities are sure to follow. The success of the HUD-VASH, SSVF, and other programs targeted to veterans, combined with the dedication and commitment of America's communities prove that ending veteran homelessness is possible.

|Using XQJ API with Cocoon3
|Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:42:09 GMT
Hi all, As Cocoon is an excellent framework for dealing with XML and hence in a lot of cases is stored in a XML Database it makes sense to offer out-of-the box functionality to extract data from it. From my personal experience I think most XMLDB implementers have abondoned the XMLDB API initiative and are focusing on XQuery for Java (XQJ) instead. I just started playing with the API today and wrote a bit of code to get more acquainted. I would like to start a little thread to find out if we can add a new XQJGenerator to the optional cocoon module. A first little exercise is mentioned on my blog but it's far from production ready. - TODO: allow wrapping query result in 1 root tag - Problem: the XQJ interface jar is packaged along with the implementations (Sedna, Exist, Marklogic). This means I had to actually declare a maven dependency on the implementation specific jar (in this case sedna-xqj-beta-5.jar). For the ones who think this would be a great add-on, check my first post at http://robbypelssers.blogspot.com/2011/07/using-xqj-api-with-cocoon3.html Kind regards, Robby Pelssers

I've always had pets at home and knew I wanted to do something with animals. I researched the different routes to go down - such as veterinary nursing - but my main love is dogs, so I decided to do the small animal care course, which involves working at a kennels. I go into college on a Monday and do four days a week at Butterwick Boarding Kennels and Cattery near Sedgefield. I feed and clean the dogs, see to customers, answer the phone, everything really.
I've completed most of my units, which included feeding animals, grooming, general care and husbandry. I've also been observed feeding or exercising an animal to check I can do it competently. The training aspect is what I enjoy most, because training dogs is what I want to do next. I got my own dog recently - Boon, a Bernese mountain dog - and I've started using him as my guinea pig. He's only eight months old but he's big. We've qualified for Cruft's, which I'm really happy about.
The facilities at college are excellent. They have every kind of animal you'd need to work on - reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, dogs, cats. I've handled them all. When I first started I was only interested in the dogs, but once you start to work with the other animals you can't help but get interested in them. We were told to be prepared to get bitten by a mouse or something but I've been lucky so far - I've just been careful and respected them.
I'm due to finish in May and the kennels is happy to help me through a dog-training course. My dream is to eventually own my own boarding kennels, but I know what kind of money you need so I don't know whether it will ever happen.

*From the Meltola Hospital (Drs. Pietinalho and Selroos), Karjaa, Finland; the Departments of Pulmonary Medicine (Dr. Tukiainen), and Allergic Diseases (Dr. Haahtela), University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland; and Astra Draco AB (Dr. Persson), Lund, Sweden.
Correspondence to: Olof Selroos, MD, FCCP, Solvegatan 3A, S-233 62 Lund, Sweden; e-mail: email@example.com
Study objective: To evaluate the
efficacy of oral prednisolone, followed by inhaled budesonide, in
patients with newly diagnosed (< 3 months) stage I and stage II
pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Design: Double-blind,
placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study.
Setting: Twenty pulmonary medicine departments in
Patients: One hundred eighty-nine adult
patients were randomized to treatment. Patients with erythema nodosum
or stage IV sarcoidosis (pulmonary fibrosis), and patients requiring
immediate treatment with oral corticosteroids for extrapulmonary
lesions or chronic illnesses were excluded.
The patients received either oral prednisolone for 3 months (20 mg/d
for 8 weeks, 15 mg/d for 2 weeks, and 10 mg/d for 2 weeks) followed by
inhaled budesonide (Pulmicort Turbuhaler; Astra Draco; Lund, Sweden)
for 15 months at 800 μg bid, or placebo tablets followed by placebo
inhaler therapy.
Measurements: Chest
radiographs, lung volumes (FVC), diffusing capacity of the lung for
carbon monoxide (Dlco), serum angiotensin-converting enzyme
(SACE), and β2-microglobulin at 3-month
Results: After 3 months of treatment,
radiographic improvements were seen in the active-treatment
group when compared to the placebo-treatment group. At 6 months,
the difference was still statistically significant. Later, no
differences were found. In patients with initial stage I lesions,
neither the FVC nor the Dlco (the percent predicted mean
values) changed during the study, as they were normal from the
beginning. In patients with initial stage II disease, the difference in
the FVC mean values between the groups also remained unchanged
throughout the study. In stage II patients treated for 18 months, but
not earlier, the difference in Dlco became statistically
significant; the largest differences were seen in patients with initial
FVC values < 80% of predicted and Dlco values < 75%
of predicted. The decrease in SACE in the active-treated stage II
patients was significantly larger than in the placebo-treated patients.
No difference was observed in adverse events between the active-treated
patients and the placebo-treated patients.
Treatment is not required for patients with stage I disease. An initial
treatment with prednisolone followed by long-term inhalation of
budesonide is more effective than placebo in patients with stage II
disease. Sequential oral and inhaled corticosteroid therapy may be an
alternative treatment regimen for stage II sarcoidosis patients, rather
than long-term oral corticosteroid therapy

| lost in pale blue chapter 1 . 12/31/2009
Very cute :)
| Tronnie chapter 1 . 11/8/2009
I absolutely loved this! SO cute! I've read a lot of stories like this (after the Jace and Alec 'kiss me' scene) and it seems to be a trend where Alec realizes Jace isn't for him and goes back to a hurt Magnus to make amends. In my opinion, the fans have handled that with a lot of grace, and every one seems to have come to a consensus about how it should play out. And that makes it seem even more canon! And I love it, if that wasn't clear :) lol
anyway, this was very well written and handled nicely. I love how you kept it fluffy
thanks for sharing! 3

- Tapas Paul moved to ICU, says wife
KOlkata: Trinamool MP Tapas Paul was moved to ICU in Apollo Hospital in Bhubaneswar on Sunday after he complained of multiple ailments. While he had nervous problems, his heart condition has worsened over the past few months, his wife Nandini said on Sunday. "Multiple organs have been affected. Of late, his heart condition has got worse. During the month he was in the correctional home, his health deteriorated rapidly," said Nandini. Paul, arrested by CBI on December 30 last year, was admitted to a nursing home a month ago. "His treatment was on and we could not complete it. We are worried after he was admitted to the ICU today," she said.

"We've never had a special meeting like this," he said. "And I'm not real sure how it will go. The regular citizen — I can't imagine that they would want to speak — but it will definitely be limited. We have to get something done." The three groups are meeting at 6 p.m. today to discuss funding ideas for the river management plan. Part of the plan includes the controversial wristband proposal — requiring tubers on the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers who use public exits inside the city limits to buy wristbands. Under the proposal, the outfitters would be required to buy the wristbands from the city and sell them to their customers. Today's meeting also will address the issue of setting shuttle fees for businesses who bus tubers from the exits back to their cars, said Irene Allen, a member of the River Activities Committee. No fee has yet been set, she said. Participants at the meet-See MEETING/8A By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer The River Activities Committee tried to bridge the gap between the city's wristband ordinance and the outfitters' complaints at its meeting Wednesday night. The committee wants to change portions of a plan to require wristbands for tubers on local rivers. However, two other proposals from outfitters and shuttle operators also were distributed during the committee's meeting Wednesday. Those proposals eliminate the use of wristbands and will be discussed at a 6 p.m. meeting today of the committee, city council and outfitters. The committee removed any additional paperwork requirement from its original wristband proposal, took the fines away from the outfitters for any tuber who is found without a wristband and changed the look and the way the wristbands will be used. With input from outfitter Janie Lackey, who owns River Bank Outfitters, the committee decided to remove any additional paperwork requirement. Under the ordinance passed in March, outfitters would be required to keep a record of names, addresses and birth dates for every person who rents a tube — for purposes of enforcing the ordinance. The new proposal removes that requirement. Another problem that Lackey said she had with the wristbands was the onus placed on the outfitters. "You're fining the outfitter for people who don't wear a wristband," she said. 'Thats not fair to us. What if we gave them a wristband and they didn't wear it?" Instead, the new proposal fines the individual who is not wearing a wristband, removing any kind of blame for the outfitter. The final phase of the proposal to go before council and river outfitters tonight involves the bands themselves. Lackey says she already requires a band for people who use her shuttles. So, the committee decided to create a band for the outfitters that would serve dual purposes — the outfitters can use them to identify their customers and the city still can collect the fee for them. Under the plan, each outfitter will be assigned a color band — or if an outfitter uses more than one color to identify different pick-up loca-See WRISTBANDS/8ASales Taxes NEW BRAUNFELS: Net payment this period: $618,122.66 Same period this past year: $602,462.12 * 2.59 percent increase First four months of 2001: $2,718,810.37 Same period in 2000: $2,739,943.42 * .76 percent decrease BULVERDE Net payment for this period: $10,488.85 Same period this past year: $8,084 * 29.24 percent increase First four months of 2001: $46,837.61 Same period this past year: $32,661.05 Increase of 43.40 percent SEGUIN Net payment for this period: $256,788.72 Same period this past year: $247,609.81 * 3.7 percent increase First four months of 2001: $1,194,040.34 Same period this past year: $1,126,771.70 * 5.9 percent increase SAN MARCOS Net payment for this period: $859,144.38 Same period this past year: $761,958.25 * 12.75 percent increase First four months of 2001: $4,056,037.91 Same period this past year: $3,580,208.83 * 13.29 percent increase KERRVILLE Net payment this period: $344,328.91 same period last year: $344,797.82 * .13 percent increase 2001 payments to date: $1,620,331.3332 Same period this past year: $1,652,894.90 NB sales taxes dip Revenue up in February, down slightly overall in 2001 River activities panel changes wristband plan K.

Witnesses in child injury trial describe girl's condition Photo courtesy of the Williamson County Sun Yevette and Joseph Heiser sit in court at a previous hearing. By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Witnesses said Wednesday a 7-year-old girl who allegedly was nearly starved to death by her parents looked like a cancer victim or Holocaust survivor when school officials called in Child Protective Services investigators this past year. The trial of Yevette and Joseph Heiser, a Williamson County couple accused of injuring and endangering their 7-year-old daughter, entered its second day in District Court Wednesday with prosecutor Jane Starnes presenting a paramedic, a second CPS investigator and a school employee as witnesses. The Heisers are on trial before 26th Judicial District Court Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield for allegedly injuring their daughter by depriving her of food and not seeking medical attention and endangering her through the same acts or omissions. The charge of injuring a child is a first-degree felony punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Endangering a child is a state jail felony punishable by 180 days to two years in a state jail and a fine of up to $10,000. The child and her then 15-month-old half sister were removed from See TRIAL/3A revenue, is February. Our highest month is June — when the tourist season hits." Shands said the city planned its budgets adequately to take in fluctuations from year to year and month to month. For example, the figure for February is well more than the amount budgeted for February sales tax. "We budgeted $430,000," he said. "So at $618,000, we are well within our projections. When we planned, we looked at the historical figures and pretty much split them." Shands said the city budgeted total revenues from sales tax at $5.7 million for the fiscal year. As of December, revenue from sales tax was 18 percent more than budget projections. "So, we're doing really well," he said. "Even if people get really afraid about the economy and stop buying things, we should be in good shape for the budget." While Shands said he See SALES TAX/8A By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer A drop in New Braunfels' sales tax revenue for 2001 is "almost insignificant" for the city's budget, City Manager Mike Shands said. According to fig-u r e s released from the state comptroller, New Braunfels' sales SHANDS tax rev enue for 2001 so far is $2,718,810 — down three-quarters of a percent for the same time in 2000. However, revenues for the month of February were up 2.5 percent, the report shows. The state reports that the city's share of sales tax was $618,122 for the month. "Typically, the first quarter of any year is slow," Shands said.

CISD breaks ground on By Martin Malacara Staff Writer Trustees, administration, and contractors for Comal Independent School District gathered in northern Bexar County Wednesday to break ground for a new elementary school. The new school, scheduled for completion in 2002, will alleviate overcrowding at Rahe Primary and Bulverde Elementary schools in Comal County. The new school will be built in the Lookout Canyon subdivision on Overlook Parkway west of U.S. 281. It will accommodate 800 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. The school will cover 86,000-square-feet and have 39 classrooms with a gym, library and cafeteria. Funding for the $7 million project comes from the district's $141 million bond issue approved by voters in 1999.elementary Two more elementary schools and a new high school were included in the bond issue. Both the school's name and its attendance zone have yet to be determined. Bulverde officials were on hand Wednesday to toss dirt with gold painted shovels.
