Detailed Description:
The current recommended antibiotic, Cefazolin, treatment for vascular surgery, provides coverage only for Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureaus (MSSA), other gram-positive bacteria, and some gram-negative bacteria which may not be adequate antibiotic treatment at the time of vascular surgery and result in an increased hospital length of stay, increased cost of care, and an increased risk of morbidity and mortality as a consequence of surgical site infections. Thus, the investigators want to compare whether Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureaus (MRSA) antibiotic prophylaxis with Cefazolin plus Daptomycin is superior to Cefazolin plus Vancomycin in the reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) following open arterial revascularization procedures requiring a groin plus lower extremity incision. The investigators hypothesis is that Cefazolin plus Daptomycin is superior to Cefazolin plus Vancomycin in the prevention of SSI for high risk patients undergoing open groin plus lower extremity procedures.

Detailed Description:
There is an increase in surgical site infection (SSI) due to MRSA. The current recommended antibiotic, Cefazolin, treatment for vascular surgery, provides coverage only for Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureaus (MSSA), other gram-positive bacteria, and some gram-negative bacteria. To demonstrate that MRSA coverage is needed in vascular surgery with prosthetic graft placement in areas of the body that is at high risk for infection, the investigators are initiating a second study of patients undergoing groin plus lower extremity procedures by using combination antibiotics such as Cefazolin plus Daptomycin, Cefazolin plus Vancomycin. By decreasing post surgical site and prosthetic infections, the investigators could significantly reduce vascular surgery mortality and morbidity. Cost and amputation rates the investigators feel could also be reduced. Patients will be randomized in two groups -- Cefazolin plus Daptomycin, Cefazolin plus Vancomycin and will be evaluated during post procedure before discharge or within 30 days and between 30 and 360 days, for postoperative complications including cellulitis, graft infection, sepsis, limb loss, graft failure, and length of stay. If a patient is re-hospitalized, reason for the return and whether it is related to the procedure will be evaluated. Additionally, is there a graft failure, amputation, infection, hematoma, pseudoanurysm will be assessed. In case of a wound infection, the type of organism and finally, length of this hospitalization will be recorded.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age greater than 18 years
- Any elective arterial revascularization procedure involving one or more groin plus lower extremity incisions
- Further, patient's considered at high risk because of history of MRSA colonization or infection, HIV, admission for >3 months in an acute care center or long-term care center will be included in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:

FOLLOWING Worcester Wolves' success in the British Basketball League Trophy final, the city's basketball model could soon be replicated throughout the country.
An All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) is exploring how the sport, which recently had its national funding cut by UK Sport, could be used to address social challenges facing disadvantaged young people and promoting a healthy lifestyle and the importance of education.
The University of Worcester was invited to share the secrets of its award-winning success in developing basketball from grass roots to elite level as a centre of excellence.
Mick Donovan, head of the university's institute of sport and exercise science, who delivered the presentation to the APPG at the Houses of Parliament last week, said: "The APPG is looking into the best ways of promoting basketball and how the sport can act as a force for good in communities up and down the UK.
"Our award-winning Learning Through Sport initiative has very similar aims, so we were delighted to be able to present evidence of our success to the group.
"It was a privilege to represent the many people who have been involved in supporting our programme and to be able to highlight some of the innovative work that we do. It was a really beneficial to have the support during the presentation of Lord Richard Faulkner and our MP Robin Walker."
Mr Donovan co-founded the university-based side Worcester Wolves in 2000 and on Sunday the team, which includes a number of university students, won the BBL Trophy for the first time following a 83-76 victory over the Glasgow Rocks.
It follows the university's wheelchair basketball side winning the inaugural University Championships and the men's team securing the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) basketball title for the fourth consecutive year.
The APPG has been set up to maximise the potential of basketball, which, according to the most recent Active People Survey (APS) is the second most played team sport in the UK, after football.

The marsh part of Route 212 has many trainers, most of them being Poké Rangers and Fishermen. This part has rain most of the time, and it rarely doesn't rain. Only one home resides in this part. The people who live here can trade shards for something in exchange. In D/P, they'll give you a TM. In Platinum, they'll teach a selected Pokémon a move. The list of moves teachable is found in the northern part of the house. The second part of Route 212 resides near Mr. Backlot's mansion. Around the mansion are rich trainers and Policemen.
Places of interest
Pokémon Mansion
In the Pokémon mansion can find Mr. Fortuny, a wealthy lover of Pokémon. So much so that in the garden of his mansion, the Trophy Garden, you can sometimes find rare wild Pokémon that Mr. Fortuny loose.

Few weeks ago my free version of Avast antivirus detected a virus in the "root directory," I think, so, as recommended, I restarted the computer and the Avast started a scan, but that went so slow I didn't continue at that time. Now, I can't find the way to do this again. The virus does not cause any serious trouble, but whenever I restart the computer, all the cookies get erased.
What do I do? Is any free antivirus that can solve this? I can't recall the name of the virus. Formatting the disc is NOT an option for me at this time.
If you open the Avast UI, go to scan system, there should be a select menu (drop down) at the top that will allow you to choose boot time scan.
Virus (and adware, malware) scans take a long time.They check against every definition for every file in your computer - unless you whitelist some types or limit the folders it scans.AFAIK any and all AV will take a long time. They may have different interfaces and different definitions, but they all do basically the same thing.
It isn't something you should need to do while sitting there watching its progess (boring :yawn: )But for it to do it's job you do need to let it do it's thing.
Start the scan when you know you won't want to be on the computer for a while eg. going to sleep for the night.
I would try running malwarebytes.
MalwareBytes is EXCELLENT at removing even the most tenacious of virii.
Tried this, took me 2 hours or so, it found three things, now I believe it's ok.
The amount of time it takes the scan to complete depends on both the capacity of the HD, as well as how much data is on the HD. If you have a terabyte drive that is 80% full, you're prolly going to want to crack open a cold one and watch a movie.
Glad you got it resolved.
i agree with "WolfShade" because boot time scan is one of the best option to remove all kind of viruses. There select delete all viruses and than if it will be present in your system than you may repair your OS. Your all problems might be sol
Why are you choosing a free anti virus. They are not much effective. Use a paid anti virus or take your computer to a professional for solving this issue. But if you can not able to do this, then try MalwareBytes. It is an excellent way to remove virus.

Bridgwater Jupiter 39, Devizes 47
JUPITER had a slow start and the first quarter ended 12-4 to Devizes.
In the second quarter, Jupiter came out fighting and shocked Devizes into calling a tactical time out.
Quick centre court play by Baylea Charles (C) enabled Jupiter to score eight consecutive goals.
In the third quarter, Becky Cowley (GD) made some excellent interceptions and Sammie Woolacott (WD) put pressure on Devizes centre and prevented their passes going into their attacking end.
Despite Jupiter's efforts in defence, the third quarter ended 34-24 to Devizes.
Jupiter stayed positive and continued with the same fighting spirit into the final quarter.
Player of the match Lisa Durant (GK) forced the Devizes shooters into making many errors.
Devizes continued to battle and still held their lead.
Although Jupiter showed positivity throughout the game, Devizes took the win.
Saturn 28, Newton 42
SATURN played Newton from Yeovil on Saturday and were put under pressure from the start.
Emma Downes (WD) and player of the match Michelle Stone (C) made some great interceptions but Saturn did not capitalise on them and were ten down at half time.
Sally Haysham (GD) and Julie McClean (GK) worked hard in the defensive circle to turn over the ball and Saturn battled on with some well- timed passes into the circle by Hazel Hucker (WA).
These passes found Sammy Kemmish and Katy Cheese who dully finished them to bring Saturn back into the game.
The final quarter was well matched and Saturn managed to secure a point.

We apologize for the technical problems.
I still have no idea what happened, but obviously something did.
I was thinking last night, as we post the finalists for the major awards each day, that I haven't heard much from my Boneheads about the awards — except for the Vezina, and the usual distaste for a certain No. 30 who plays not far from MSG.
Now, I know you guys are smarter than a lot of NHL GMs (they vote for the Vezina). And I'm sure you are smarter than a lot of the broadcasters (they vote for the coach of the year). I doubt you are smarter than sportswriters (just kidding) who vote for everything else.
But I am curious about your thoughts on the big awards: The Hart (MVP), Calder (rookie), Norris (defenseman) and Adams (coach).
By the way, I will be out working, so I won't be able to post today's finalists. You guys can feel free to get them at NHL.com at noon or so and put them in the comments. Usually I'd count on Laurel in a situation like this, but she's out partying, probably at some Blackjack table as we speak, in Vegas.
Thought for today: Is there anything dumber than all these mock NFL drafts that everybody does? I mean, have you ever seen one that was really close the the actual way the first round transpired? I haven't.

Meet Diannah Morgan
Diannah Morgan plays casual computer games to keep her mental and visual acuity honed
Diannah Morgan plays casual computer games to keep her mental and visual acuity honed - but she also enjoys the "me time" they provide. "Games like Bejeweled and Chuzzle definitely test that problem-solving part of my brain while also giving me a manual dexterity workout," she notes. "And at the same time I'm taking a quick 'mental vacation' that leaves me refreshed and ready to get back to work 15 minutes later."
Diannah, a 50-year old video/graphics and web design professional from Los Angeles, describes herself as "a bit of a geek" and admits to having played a few "hardcore" videogames in the past, including Doom. "Those traditional videogames can be fun and addictive, but they have steeper learning curves - sometimes you have to read 40 pages of manual just to figure out the controls or the plot," she notes. "They also require larger time investments - and somehow they still get boring faster than Bejeweled or Chuzzle," she marvels.
Diannah's "past lives" include working in a balloon factory and driving a bus for the city of Los Angeles, and she's also written software for companies such as Activision and Quarterdeck. Among her hobbies are crocheting and raising exotic birds - her cockatoo, Posh, and 12 cockatiels that she's hand-raised add to her busy schedule.
Diannah, who is also a musician and aspiring actor, discovered Bejeweled through her mobile phone and now plays the gem-swapping hit on her phone and PC. "Keeping my mind sharp and my eye-brain connections well-oiled is my primary motive for playing," she says. "The fact that these games are also entertaining and relaxing is a bonus!"

Last night WV Senate candidates Joe Manchin, supposedly a Democrat, and John Raese, the Tea Party favourite, met (along with the Mountain party and Constitution party candidates, deservedly trailing far behind) in their only planned TV debate. I thought Manchin was not just much the most impressive of the bunch, but the only one remotely fit for high office. Raese has a steady, confident presence, I grant you, and a fine baritone, but his views are anything but calm. He called Obamacare "pure unadulterated socialism". He is a full-frontal global-warming denier: (a) it isn't happening and (b) if it were, it wouldn't be our fault. On foreign policy: "My philosophy has always been very simple. We win, you lose." Once you understand that, I suppose, the rest is easy.
Think of Manchin, on the other hand, as a moderate Republican running as a Democrat–for which there is much to be said. He is willing to work with Obama, he conceded, but then he is willing to work with anybody. He looked competent, and sounded as though he might know what he was talking about. In this field, that set him apart. I can see why West Virginians might prefer to retain him as governor (see previous post) rather than send him to DC.
What surprised me about the other two candidates was how unprepared they seemed. It was as if they had been picked up at random and brought to the set with sacks over their heads. Asked to make opening statements, they looked instantly wrong-footed: who said anything about opening statements? Jeff Becker of the state's Constitution party is a truther, by the way: he answered a question on Afghanistan by pointing out anomalies in the conventional wisdom about 9/11 and (if I understood him correctly, which I cannot swear I did) alleging BBC involvement in the plot.
I say vote Manchin.
Update: Incidentally, you can watch the Manchin TV spot I mentioned in my Monday column about the race here.

If you're an e-book borrower and can't find your favorite titles at the Library, we feel your pain.
Several book publishers are charging libraries more for e-books and in some cases are no longer selling e-books to libraries, and we think you deserve an explanation about what's going on.
The e-book marketplace is on fire, and print and e-book publishers are struggling to figure out how e-books fit into their business models when it comes to library lending. Some publishers decided early on not to sell e-books to libraries, and still don't. The companies face several issues, says Collection Services Manager Lisa Sampley.
E-books are one-time sell because, technically, they last forever. Print books wear out over time and buyers like libraries replace them, she says. Publishers also want their authors to be compensated properly for their work, but how to do considering the limitless scale of library lending?
Here's how some publishers are responding:
What does this mean for the Library's e-book collection? Lisa is optimistic, especially if library patrons continue their letter-writing campaign to e-book publishers.
"As soon as publishers get a handle on how to adapt in this market, they will figure out strategies to sell to this (library) market," she says. "But it would be great if all of them could get together and decide on a standard way to sell to public libraries."

I Do Love the HolidaysRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
You will know that I am coming
From the jingle of my bell,
But exactly who I am is not an easy thing to tell.
Children, they adore me
for they find me jolly,
but I do not see them when the halls are decked with holly.
My job often leaves me frozen,
I am a man that all should know,
But I do not do business in times of sleet or ice or snow.
I travel much on business,
But no reindeer haul me around,
I do all my traveling firmly on the ground.
I love the time of Christmas,
But that's not my vocational season,
And I assure that is because of a sound economic reason.

Ben Craycroft obituary
28 Mar 1912 — Chicago, Illinois
Chillicothe Constitution Craycroft obit, (March 28, 1912), Ben Craycroft, a former resident of this city, died suddenly in his office, 1439 West Twenty-first street, Chicago, Ill., Thursday morning shortly after eight o'clock. His death was due to heart trouble.
Mr. Craycroft, who was a member of the firm of Craycroft & Co., enetered the office and greeting the members of the firm, stated, "I am not feeling well this morning." Within minute he dropped to the floor and expired before a phsycian arrived.
The decedent was born near Hagertown, Md., and resided there during his boyhood days, after which he moved to Southern Illinois, where he resided until 1868, when he went to Sedalia and in 1872 moved to Chillicothe, where he was general agent for the McCormick Harvester company. While here he also held minor city offices. In 1889 he went to Oklahoma where he resided ten years, when he went to Chicago and engaged in business for himself.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Browning Craycroft.
The body is expected to arrive here Saturday and the funeral probably will be held Sunday.

November Total: 5
Season Total: 5
Box Score
West Point, N.Y. - A pair of scoring droughts, one early in the first half and the other late in the second, spelled defeat for Penn on Sunday afternoon at Army's Christl Arena. Despite a career-high 21 points from freshman Keiera Ray, the Black Knights limited the Quakers to 31 percent shooting (18-57) from the floor and downed Penn, 58-53. Alyssa Baron was the other Quaker to reach double figures, scoring 11 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Both teams struggled to find the range in the early going and it was nearly two and a half minutes into the contest before Courtney Wilson put Penn out in front with a baseline jumper to open the scoring. That would prove to be the last Quaker field goal for over seven minutes, in which time the Black Knights had opened up a 10-3 advantage. Kathleen Roche awakened the Red and Blue offense and Keiera Ray followed with a driving bucket to cut it to 10-7 with 9:36 until intermission.
Behind the strong interior play of Olivia Schretzman, Army ran off an 11-3 stretch over the next six minutes, putting the Quakers into a 21-10 hole as the game reached the under-four media timeout. Two free throws out of that break in the action from Alyssa Baron gave her her first points of the afternoon and sparked a 12-2 response that would pull the momentum back in Penn's favor heading into the locker room. Baron scored seven points in the final four minutes of play, including a fallaway bank shot with one second on the game clock to bring the Quakers within a point at halftime, 23-22.
A Roche trey was the first dent in the scoring column in the second half and gave Penn its first lead since 2-1 in the opening minutes. A triple from Ray moments later made the score 28-26 in favor of Mike McLaughlin's crew. Ray's shot began a run of play where both offenses caught fire and the lead swung back and forth on nearly every possession. Another Ray make from deep gave the Quakers what proved to be their final lead of the afternoon at 37-35. The next time down the floor, Army's Liz Benedict answered with a three to give the Black Knights the edge once again at 38-37, and opened an 8-0 run that lasted over four minutes.
The Quakers had one last run in them, slicing what had been a nine-point deficit down to three in the final minute. Five straight points from Ray - a three and a driving layup - were followed by a Kara Bonenberger triple and a free throw from Rayne Connell that made it 54-51. Army broke Penn's press on the next possession and cashed in a wide open layup but Ray rushed up court and was hacked in the lane, knocking in both free throws to once again make it a one possession contest at 56-53.
Army's Kelsey Minato was fouled by Connell on the subsequent inbounds play and went to the charity stripe with less than 17 seconds remaining. The freshman missed the front end of the one-and-one but as Penn pushed the ball upcourt looking to cut the lead to one or tie, Minato trailed the play and poked the ball out of the hands of Ray with nine seconds left on the clock, then grabbed the loose ball and was fouled. Given a second chance at the line, Minato knocked in both and the Quakers couldn't get a good look on the other end.
Behind Ray's 21-point effort, the Red and Blue enjoyed a 26-6 edge in bench points. Army was led by Schretzman, who had 18 points and eight boards.
Penn (0-3) won't take the court again until after Thanksgiving when they meet La Salle in the team's first Big 5 matchup of the season. The Quakers and Explorers will get together at The Palestra on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh)
Some of Pharaoh's Court Embrace Faith
The confrontation between the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and those opposing him resulted in a completely unexpected end for Pharaoh, the magicians and the spectators alike. The people in subject, who had been so self-assured and arrogant of their superiority, were defeated. Furthermore, this total defeat took place right before the eyes of the people of Egypt. The impact of the defeat was even greater for the those opposing the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Their spectacle, which was merely an illusion, they knew very well not to have been real. They had devised tricks to deceive people into believing that their system—and consequently Pharaoh's system—was allegedly divinely powerful (Allah is beyond that). However, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) appeared with an obvious miracle. The staff of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) had actually devoured their trickery. These people, therefore, grasped that this was a real miracle, and a sign of the existence of Allah, and an evidence of Allah's support to the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Thereupon, they embraced faith:
The magicians threw themselves down in prostration. They said, "We have faith in the Lord of all the worlds, the Lord of Moses and Aaron." (Surat al-A'raf: 120-122)
Pharaoh, who openly challenged the Prophet Moses (pbuh), being so overly confident that he would win, was in fact defeated, with people who had used to be close to him finally believing in the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Pharaoh could not accept the decision of these people. According to his perverted rationale, he was the sole owner of the land—even of the people—, and thought himself entitled to authorize whether or not people be allowed to convert to another belief:
Pharaoh said, "Have you believed in him before I authorised you to do so? This is just some plot you have concocted in the city to drive its people from it." (Surat al-A'raf: 123)
Deluded by his own distorted mind, Pharaoh tried to rationalize the situation. Followed by an ignominious defeat, those who had served him came to believe in the Prophet Moses (pbuh). What should have been expected of Pharaoh then was to openly admit the occurrence of a miracle and to accept to be rightly guided. On the contrary, however, he offered himself false interpretations, fabricating scenarios which he himself knew were imaginary. Thus, he, with his distorted mind, convinced himself that these people who had used to be close to him and the Prophet Moses (pbuh) were conspiring to seize power over Egypt. Pharaoh, with this crooked logic, made very wicked slanders. Allah relates in the verse:
"…He is your chief, the one who taught you magic…" (Surah Ta-Ha: 71)
That is how Pharaoh witnessed the irrefutable signs and miracles of Allah but, witlessly resisted and denied the truth. In fact, his behaviour was typical of all those who deny the truth. Those people, resolved to remain in disbelief, adhere to it no matter how incontrovertible are the signs put forth to them. They resort foolishly to any form of delusion in order to, supposedly legitimise their denial. In every society and in every age, we will find countless disbelievers infected with the resolute obstinacy of Pharaoh, who have denied the existence, oneness and the righteousness of Allah's religion.
Nevertheless, Pharaoh knew that his obstinacy would not save him. The defeat of his people and their acceptance of faith in our Lord greatly destabilised his authority. In one way or another, he would have to defuse the situation and re-establish his power. For this purpose, he resorted to violence, threatening the believing people with torture and death. However, already cognisant of the truth of the message of Allah, they turned to Allah in submission. Allah relates in the verses:
"…I will cut off your hands and feet alternately and have you crucified on palm trunks. Then you will know for certain which of us has the harsher and longer lasting punishment."
They said, "We will never prefer you to the Clear Signs which have come to us nor to Him Who brought us into being. Decide on any judgement you like. Your jurisdiction only covers the life of the earth." (Surah Ta-Ha: 71-73)
They said, "We are returning to our Lord. You are only avenging yourself on us because we had faith in our Lord's Signs when they came to us. Our Lord, pour down steadfastness upon us and take us back to You as Muslims." (Surat al-Araf: 125-126)
They said, "We do not care! We are returning to our Lord. We remain hopeful that our Lord will forgive us our mistakes for being the first of the believers." (Surat ash-Shu'ara: 50-51)
As is explained in the above verses, these people of faith did not yield to the threats of Pharaoh, or submit to him, because they believed wholeheartedly that if they were to be killed, they would return to Allah, Who is the Creator of everything. All the while, they dearly hoped that Allah would forgive their former morality and attitude. Because Allah is the Forgiver and the Merciful.
From then on, Pharaoh's rule over the people became increasingly malicious. He sought to steer the people through his power. Due to the oppression he meted out, no one, except for a small group of young people from the people of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), followed the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Only these few people showed the like of the courage and sincerity shown by those who came to believe despite previously being close to Pharaoh. The majority of people living in that period, on the other hand, did not appreciate the power of the Almighty Allah, and, having no fear of Him, rejected faith. This is conveyed in the Qur'an as follows:
No one believed in Moses, except for a few of his people, out of fear that Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate. (Surah Yunus: 83)
One of those to have put her faith in the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was the spouse of Pharaoh. This noble woman, who previously shared so many worldly favours with Pharaoh, not only dared to leave all such riches behind, but also to make herself the object of Pharaoh's violence. Her choice is clearly the sign of a very profound and sincere faith. Indeed, along with Maryam (Mary) (pbuh), the Qur'an refers to the spouse of Pharaoh as a faithful woman whose conduct was exemplary:
Allah has made an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said, "My Lord, build a house in Paradise for me in Your Presence and rescue me from Pharaoh and his deeds and rescue me from this wrongdoing people." (Surat at-Tahrim: 11)
The sincere devotion of Pharaoh's spouse to Allah is a great example for all Muslims. This true believer abandoned the riches of this world, and acknowledged that the real life would be in the hereafter. She preferred the blessings of the hereafter over the benefits of this short, though deceptively dazzling life. She prayed to Allah only for a house in Paradise. Without a doubt, such a sincere prayer, filled with a spiritual devotion towards the hereafter, is a fine example for all those who believe.

I tried to install BT 5 R2 on portable hard disk, but when I install and reboot to bootup BT 5 it didnt work. Just keeps a black screen.
I installed grub on /dev/sdc (portable hdd)
What Im missing?
Please, describe the way you installed BT5 in external HDD, need more info...How you installed Grub2?...
Need more info to help you...
Two thoughts:
1) When booting my BT5 USB key, the screen stays black for several seconds before booting properly. Wait at least 30 seconds before shutting off the machine.
2) Did you boot to the USB HDD from your BIOS? Lots of BIOSes give you a boot selection menu by pressing ESC, F12 or F8 during POST.
If those don't solve your problem, please detail the problem better. What is the last screen you see before it goes blank? How did you install BT?
I'll post to main.

Topic: The Result of the 2nd "patient-focused drug developement" Meeting
Hi, everyone,
There were 25 patient advocate groups presented in the meeting with about 16 additional groups attended via web connection.for the 2nd FDA meeting yesterday in Washington DC for the topic of "patient-focused drug development" meeting. Seven or eight FDA officials attended.
I spoke on behalf of our organization this time and gave the patients input to people who attended the meeting.Since I was the second person spoke about the questions and mentioned the responses from patients how they viewed about the questions, I had a lot of positive responses from other advocate groups about the suggestions that Pamela , her daughter and Lainy gave through answering the survey I posted.(See, who says your opinions don't count;I wish next time more of the members can do the same and let your voice heard.
Thus, the FDA committee will consider changes of the questions as follows :
1.What are your symptoms of your disease that have the greatest impact of your life? ( and they will as Pam and her daughter suggested give examples).
2. This question is acceptable to most of the groups at the meeting but will add examples to distinguish the impact between "quality of life vs the quantity of life" in the daily living impact to the patient.In short which problem affect the patient the most ;quality or quantity first?
3. The question will change to" How are your daily living be affected by your disease? and anything you would like to add to it?"
4 .this question is related to question #3 too, so Someone suggested to change it to "What is the biggest fear do you have with your disease still being treated? and give examples. (please remember not all those disease groups who attended the meeting will have the same final outcome as our group.)
5.Most of the people including the FDA committee agree to change "the" and replace it with "your" to make the question more personalized and that was Pamela's suggestion I mentioned to the committee. (the answer for this question can be obtained by asking the oncologist or the nurse .)
6.Of course, the committee all agree to get rid of the"clinical manifestations"
wordings in all the questions involved; As soon as I mentioned that is a problem that our patients may not understand what it means,most other advocate groups were agree and node their heads.(see, Pam,Laura and Lainy,your input on this message board works.) The question may change to " How effective are available therapies at treating the symptoms of your disease? ;and they will add among others such CAM and non traditional therapies which I suggested to the FDA committee.
7. since this question ,like #6 are asking the same about the usefulness of the available therapies but gearing toward the side effects of the therapies,the committee will refine and make it more patients friendly and will give examples.
8. this is a more tough questions for patients to understand and answer;so dose question#9 But the committee will refine the questions base on the meeting results.
All the questions , once finalized, will be provide to and will be used by the medical professional like oncologist or other rare disease treatment nurses and doctors to question the patients and hopefully get more understanding about the condition of the patient being treated and to assess the treatment option and outcomes for the patient better.
One final note of the 1st meeting on October 26,2012 about choosing the first 20 or so rare diseases to work on as the first "patient-focused" project, there were 2445 submissions to the FDA docket;2000 of them have been reviewed by the seven members review team so far and the submissions cover 83 different disease area.
God bless.

The Bancroft Collection
Digital Collections
Digital Images & Texts
A collection of original Catalonian records including a miscellany of legal instruments recording commissions, donations, sales, exchanges, payments, receipts and the like, which evidently survived in old private archives still numerous in Catalonia. The records contain a wealth of information about ordinary people, their names, transactions, and property. Chiefly in Latin, often lapsing into the vernacular. One piece, dated 1497, is entirely in Catalan. Also included are a Catalan translation of De consolatione philosophiae, and a guide to enable Christians to argue convincingly against Jews and Muslims, and persuade them to convert.

Topic: Is delaying chemo the right approach?
Now that it has been confirmed my wife has ICC, I find myself in a dilemma. I could use your advice that I am approaching this the correct way.
How quickly do we start chemo?
We had our official Oncologist meeting 2 days ago where he confirmed the initial diagnosis of ICC. However, we knew this was the initial diagnosis a week ago. As soon as we had the initial diagnosis, I - with a lot of help from some incredible people - began the task of getting appointments at some well known, well respected cancer centers for consult visits. I also researched and, again with the help of others, found some potential trials.
Everything I've been told and most of what I've read encouraged getting second opinions. And also to delay the start of treatment until you are sure of the best plan. I am happy to say, I've made great progress (getting all the paperwork done, all materials faxed or mailed, talking to doctors, nurses, aides) and we now have three scheduled visits over the next 8 days.
My dilemma is our local Oncologist put fear into the both of us by saying emphatically "you really need to get started on chemo". My wife is feeling the urge to start tomorrow. Her situation is several masses in the liver and affected lymph nodes. I want to make sure the consults confirm the best treatment plan before beginning. But I don't have the cancer. It's much easier for me to take that approach.
Thanks for your comments.

I just tried out some food from a new BBQ Restaurant I had high hopes for here in Edmonton called "Smokehouse BBQ". I'd post the link to the website if only to show the ridiculous prices and pretentious nature of the place, but I won't even do that. This place doesn't deserve the attention.
First, the prices are higher than even the trendy steak and rib joints. Almost $10 for a pint of beer when the other joints sell it for $6.50. $12.95 for a basic pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwich. $26.95 for a "full rack" of ribs (which is $18.95 at the trendy rib joint I won't name).
The ribs tasted like lightly-smoked ham-on-a-stick marinated in dish soap - they tasted almost exactly like the batch of "enhanced" ribs I cooked after I bought some by accident a few years ago, except these ones had less smoke taste. Conversely, the pulled pork was bland - no spice, no bark, and very little smoke ring or flavor. My grandma could have done a better job just by putting a pork roast in her oven and leaving it in there too long.
But the absolute worst was something called a "Pig Ball". Supposedly it's a fried rice ball with a center of pulled pork and a tangy sauce. In reality, it was a rock hard ball of fried rice with about a teaspoon of what passed for pulled pork in it, and the sauce was pretty close to flavored ketchup and Tabasco. (In fact, I'm almost certain it was generic No Name BBQ sauce with Tabasco added.) Half of that "pig ball" went into the garbage.
It's disappointing, but ten years ago I could have named half a dozen great BBQ or grill restaurants in my home town of Edmonton. Now I can't even name one.
There's a solution, though. When I get home I'm pulling out a couple slabs of ribs and a couple shoulders out of the freezer and doing it right this weekend. That's the only thing that can wash the taste of the soapy hamsicles away, I figure.

HOUSTON - Some crooks went to great lengths to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise at a beauty store in Houston, police said.
The crooks were caught on surveillance video at the Beauty Spot on Antoine, crawling on the floor to avoid setting off motion detectors. They then used sticks to knock off hair extensions from the shelves.
The owner, Jay Youm, said the crooks had their work cut out for them just to get inside the store.
"They tunneled through two walls and one steel door," said Youm. "And before that, they came through two wire fences. So yeah, they went through a lot."
Youm estimated the crooks got away with around $50,000 worth of merchandise.

88 Silver Edition — By George L. Petrie
Mega-Sport Import
|Pershing's new 88 delivers megayacht luxury, sportboat attitude, and Italian style.
The setting was suitably upscale. Behind a multimillion-dollar mansion in an exclusive Fort Lauderdale waterfront community, a Pershing 88 tugged gently at her docklines. Privately owned, she was the only Pershing 88 in the United States, so it had taken several weeks to arrange a test.
It was worth the wait. Styled by Fulvio de Simoni, the yacht had a low, rakish profile and a curvaceous deckhouse that conveyed a sporty yet sophisticated air, promising both spirited performance and luxurious amenities. This flagship of the Pershing line is clearly intended to appeal to those of you who take your pleasure seriously.
Pleasure central is on the aft deck, where a large sunpad is the focal point, flanked by steps that lead to an oversize swim platform. In the standard configuration, there's a large stowage space beneath the sunpad, but our test boat was equipped with an optional transom garage that accommodates a two-person PWC and davit, along with space for diving gear and other watersports equipment. For those who prefer more sedentary pleasures, another option puts a hot tub beneath the sunpad.
Either way, guests will enjoy congregating around a semicircular settee just forward of the sunpad on the port side, with refreshments close at hand thanks to an electric grill and wetbar to starboard. Just inside the saloon door, an under-counter refrigerator keeps cold provisions handy.
For the sun-worshipper seeking a little solitude, there's a big sunpad in the bow, while just aft, beneath a hydraulically operated hatch in the deckhouse, a large stowage bay provides room for a tender and yet another PWC, along with an electrohydraulic telescoping davit for launch and retrieval. A removable panel in the bay's aft wall provides access to wiring, electrical panels, and other equipment mounted in the helm station dashboard.
Several no-nonsense features of the foredeck impressed me, starting with a pair of Maxwell winches mated to two Bruce anchors nested in the bow. Teak decking offers comfortable, secure footing, and wide side decks allow for easy passage fore and aft. For even greater security an 18-inch-high fiberglass bulwark surrounds the deck, topped by a thigh-high stainless steel rail. Spring cleats are mounted atop the bulwark, so there's no danger of tripping or stubbing a toe.
Once you'd had enough sun, head through the electrically powered doors on either side of the helm station, which provide entry into the upper saloon; I found the door opening to be narrow for my 6'2", 210-pound frame. The upper saloon on the 88 is really an indoor-outdoor area, with full-width sliding glass doors that open onto the large aft deck and a large roof panel above the dinette that slides open electrically. Steps alongside the helm lead to the lower saloon, galley, and accommodations, where other forms of pleasure are offered.
A six-burner cooktop was my first clue that the galley is up to the task of preparing Epicurean delights. Rugged pot restraints told me this yacht was designed to be used, not sit dockside like a floating condo. But don't think she's in any way Spartan. On the contrary, with black granite countertops and refrigerator doors faced in satin cherry, the galley could rival a landside gourmet kitchen.

What do you think are the latest trends in social media marketing?
Depends what you mean, but Facebook has obviously taken the web by storm over the past few years. Whether Facebook remains the dominating social area for people remains to be unseen. Facebook is big, but so was Myspace and look what happened to that.
I don't think that there is a new trends in social media marketing. but now a days folks give the more priority to Twitter and Linkedin.
mm Yes Facebook is quite dominant right now but as Internet Marketer I expect Google+ will be a threat for them because it is part of the google family and easy to embed a youtube movie. Personally I use Facebook a lot in combination with Twitter. Via HootSuit you can embed many ads at once. The disadvantage of Facebook is their strict security policy.
<snip> please read and follow the forum rules
Facebook is the best plat form to market your business, You can promote your Business Page, Update it on regular bases and try to get more and more likes to make your presence strong.
Google+ is mostly used by social marketers to promote the business.
I haven't seen or heard any new threads. What I know is that social media marketing has been incorporated in mobile marketing. Many users use their phones to open their FaceBook and Twitter accounts, and start socializing.
I think creating a Magazine in Flipboard (ipad) and feeding it content from your Twitter or Facebook Page is probably the most effective tool I've discovered in the last few months.
I think facebook is the best platform to promote your business.but 67% of marketers plan to increase their Twitter activities.80% of marketers have no plans to use daily deal sites, such as Groupon GRPN +11.05% or LivingSocial in the near future.
*Join a community and *Determine the best way to connect with prospects*create a person and Connect*Build a relationship*Engage in a conversationThese are the latest trends in social media marketing.
Depending upon your business you can choose respective social site.Like if you are related to photo sharing and photography business its better to focus on Instagram and Pinterest with creating pages in Facebook.com,Twitter.com etc.Basically Twitter and facebook are famous and widely used for social promotion.
Due to fairly recent "strategic" commercial changes, Facebook is now a much less valuable marketing tool for small business than a lot of people think.
Hi! Google + sharing is now on trend. You can get more popularity with Google + sharing.
Google+, facebook, Twitter are the best trends which used most in Social Bookmarking Most. Bookmarking site gives these site priority first as they are more popular.
Yeah, this way is good to decrease any competition with big business that has been take over the social media they used.
How about instagram? Do you use instagram to promote your online business?
Now Facebook,Twitter,LinkedIn are the most famous social media compared to Google Plus.Because it have more visitors and users in a day.May be after some years Google Plus would growth like this.
Latest trends the social media is share your product services in social media websites like facebook....
Everything that needs to be said has been said.

Hyacinth Macaw
About This Animal
SIZE: 40 inches in length, 50 inch wingspan
RANGE: Found in Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay
HABITAT: Lightly forested areas, grasslands, savannahs and cattle ranches
DIET: Mostly palm nuts, but some other types of nuts, fruits and vegetables
ON EXHIBIT: Makes appearances in Extraordinary Experience Bird Programs
The hyacinth macaw is the largest member of the parrot family. These macaws are social birds and generally live in pairs or small groups. Pairs are extremely faithful and share the tasks of raising their young. The hyacinth macaw's natural lifespan is estimated to be 30 to 50 years or more. Males tend to be much larger than females. This macaw's beak is the most powerful of all birds and is used to crack hard palm nuts, which is their main diet.
Hyacinth macaw are threatened in the wild. They've suffered from poaching for the pet trade and for their feathers.
Amy and Angel, the Tennessee Aquarium's hyacinth macaws, are really characters. Their playful displays are sometimes accompanied by talking or laughing, In this video, they appear to really get tickled by something going on in the Tropical Cove exhibit.

Two Pakistan-born brothers living in Florida have been arrested on charges of providing support to terrorists and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction within the United States, authorities said on Friday.
The men were charged in a grand jury indictment announced by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Federal prosecutors allege the men, both U.S. citizens, provided money, housing, communications equipment and transportation as part of a conspiracy.
A statement from prosecutors said the brothers' alleged goal was "to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) against persons and property within the United States". It did not elaborate and U.S. officials declined to go into details but said the arrests were not the result of a sting operation.

A dinosaur that children can walk on a lead, a bull elephant and a black rhino are among the spectacles at Malmesbury's makeshift zoo, created by graffiti artist Luke Hollingworth.
Families have been flocking to see the transformation of the former Burnham House Care Home, after Mr Hollingworth, working under the name of 'Syd' spray painted on images of endangered and safari animals.
Mr Hollingworth, 37, from Malmesbury, said: "It all sort of evolved really. I got wind of the fact that it (the care home building) was a temporary thing and was going to be knocked down and every spray paint artist needs a wall to practice on.
"As a 30-something-year-old artist and a father-of-one, I also didn't want to get myself in to any trouble."
A giraffe poking its head through the boarded up windows to munch on the Virginia creeper and a penguin are among the other works of art attracting local people to the area.
Mr Hollingworth sells pieces of his work on www.thestencilshed.co.uk

Two suspended after students shot with replica gun
Published 7:38 pm, Wednesday, February 27, 2013
A fourth-grade girl at Woodlake Elementary School was suspended after officials said she shot two classmates in the leg with an airsoft gun during class Tuesday.
Steve Linscomb, spokesman for Judson Independent School District, said the girl and the male classmate who brought the gun to school were both suspended for three days.
Neither of the girls who were shot had serious injuries, Linscomb said, adding there was some bruising but the pellets didn't break their skin.
The suspended students are set to undergo an assessment March 1.
"We'll look and see if there was any kind of planning involved ... or if they were actually wanting to hurt someone," Linscomb said. "Those are the questions we hope to answer then."
News Channel
Linscomb said the parents of the students involved were called Tuesday and an automated call went out to all parents Wednesday.
One parent of an injured student has decided to file assault charges against the girl who fired the gun, Linscomb said.

Franklin, Tenn. -- The overall penetration of POS devices continued to expand 3.9% in North America and 4.6% around the globe in 2012, according to The POS Vendor Shipments Database, released Wednesday by IHL Group. Growth is expected to continue at 3.6% worldwide for 2013.
The report showed growth in all four major worldwide regions (North America, Europe/Middle East Africa, Latin/South America, and Asia/Pacific). The Asia/Pacific region led all regions in terms of growth, but even the economic challenges of most of the EMEA region did not completely squash growth, which came in at over 2% year over year.
"The market continues to grow as POS technologies rapidly change in individual segments," said Greg Buzek, president of IHL Group. "Despite challenges from mobile devices and e-commerce growth, new store concepts and greater penetration of PC-based POS continue to offset those challenges as the point-of-sale remains the center of the customer interaction."
The POS Vendor Shipments Database tracks the shipments and installed base of PC-based point-of-sale devices by top 25 vendors and 13 different retail segments worldwide.
Other key findings of the research included the following:
• The big winner in the POS growth is Microsoft, whose operating systems already run on over 87% of the POS terminals shipped.
• HP is now the second largest supplier of POS Systems worldwide, rising from the #20 position just 10 years ago. Add to HP's share standard PCs purchased and repurposed by small businesses for POS and the company would have the #1 position.
• The value of the North American POS Market topped $7.8 billion for the first time in 2012.
• Brazil, Mexico, China, India and certain Middle Eastern countries are driving POS adoption at the fastest clips.

PASADENA, Texas - Police have made an arrested in a cold case slaying.
Pasadena police said Edlyn Villegas Munoz's body was found beneath a bridge over a drainage canal in the 100 block of Queens Road on New Year's Day in 2012.
According to authorities, a Crime Stoppers tip made in January led police to the suspect, 27-year-old Fransisco J. Machado Lopez.
Police said Lopez had solicited assistance from an acquaintance in moving Munoz's body the night she died.
Investigators said that acquaintance declined and refused any involvement. Months later, that person told someone what happened, which led to the tip, police said.
Detectives found Lopez lived in the 2700 block of Perez Road. That location was along the route Munoz took on her walk home from a nightclub on Spencer Highway the night of her death, police said.
According to authorities, Lopez an acquaintance of one or more members of the victim's family.
Police arrested him in New Jersey, where he has been living with relatives, and brought him back to Pasadena. He is charged with murder.
Police said Lopez is also charged with sexual assault of a child in an unrelated case involving a teenage girl.

When The Bush Administration Claimed Executive Privilege To Protect Internal DOJ Communications
On Fox News this morning, senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano claimed [1] that President Obama's assertion of executive privilege [2] in response to a congressional subpoena of Justice Department documents related to the ATF's failed Operation Fast and Furious is only valid if he was "personally involved in making decisions" regarding that case. But President Bush previously invoked executive privilege in response to a subpoena of internal DOJ documents.
NAPOLITANO: Executive privilege protects communications with the president, the human being of the president, not with people that work for him and the Justice Department. ... If the attorney general sat down and discussed it with the president, he probably doesn't want the Congress and the public to know that, because we know of the awful events that occurred as a result of the Fast and Furious escapade. But we also know that executive privilege only pertains to military, diplomatic, and sensitive national security matters. Now, was fighting the drug gangs at the border a sensitive national security matter? And, if so, was the President of the United States of America personally involved in making decisions as to how to conduct that fight? If that's the case, this has reached a different level and we now know why the attorney general has ferociously defended these documents.
In December 2001, President Bush invoked executive privilege in response to a subpoena from congressional investigators seeking deliberative DOJ communications related to both the FBI's use of organized crime informants and President Clinton's fundraising efforts. The New York Times reported [3]:
President Bush invoked executive privilege today for the first time in his administration to block a Congressional committee trying to review documents about a decades-long scandal involving F.B.I. misuse of mob informants in Boston. His order also denied the committee access to internal Justice Department deliberations about President Bill Clinton's fund-raising tactics.
A United Press International report on Bush's decision says that the executive privilege claim applied to "17 sets of documents related to the FBI investigations and informants" as well as "a set of documents related to the decision not to pursue an independent counsel to investigate Clinton-era campaign finance violations."
In testimony before Congress, Justice Department criminal division chief of staff Michael Horowitz made clear that the documents in question were deliberative DOJ documents, not documents pertaining to the president or the White House:
Let me stress at the outset that the department fully understand that the committee's interest in these documents is based upon its concern about the integrity of the department's actions in prosecuting or declining to prosecute particular individuals. We all want to be sure that such decisions are based upon the evidence in the law, free from political and other improper influences. Indeed, it is for that very reason, to protect the integrity of federal prosecutive decisions, that the attorney general, supported by the president, has declined to produce the internal deliberative memoranda you seek.
During the same hearing, Horowitz explained that in lieu of providing the internal DOJ deliberative documents, the Justice Department would be willing to provide briefings on those documents - the same offer Attorney General Eric Holder says Oversight chair Darrell Issa rejected [4]in favor of seeking to hold him in contempt of Congress.

Two men are in police custody following a drug bust fit for a primetime television drama.
According to a Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff's Office news release, two individuals suspected of transporting large quantities of marijuana led police on a high-speed police chase Sunday morning.
After their getaway car went up in smoke near Maricopa, Ariz., one of the suspects fled into a feedyard at a nearby dairy where he learned the hard way never to mess with dairy workers or their animals.
The dairy worker tripped the suspect, who then fell face-first into cow manure. The commotion startled one of the dairy's animals, who then stepped on the suspect.
The suspect was relatively unfazed and proceeded to punch the dairy worker before being taken into custody by deputies.
Sheriff Paul Babeu praised the unnamed dairy worker, saying, "I want to thank the dairy worker for his bravery while helping us arrest a fleeing felon who obviously didn't care about anybody's safety but his own."
The dairy worker transported himself to a local urgent care center for minor treatment. No animal was harmed in the incident.
The community also applauded the worker on Babeu's Facebook page, including:
"Good job to the dairy farmer who tripped and restrained the fleeing coward."
"Good job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we need more dairy farmers that will come to the aid of the deputies, and give that Cow some extra grain for the help."
"Great job helping to catch these animals and kudo's to the cow who is more human than they are."

Max Raabe & Palast Orchester | SFJAZZ
Max Raabe & Palast Orchester
In the 1920s and early 30s, Berlin was a roiling cauldron of creative energy where avant-garde art movements intersected with popular culture, birthing theatrical and musical forms that continue to influence our world today. Walking a narrow line between madcap kitsch and sublime musicality, Max Raabe and Palast Orchester evoke the heady, dancing-on-knife-point mood of the Weimar Republic. A conservatory- trained baritone besotted with the Weimar era vocal style exemplified by the Comedian Harmonists, Raabe interprets vintage hits while also writing original songs and reinventing contemporary pop tunes in a retro style, such as "Oops!... I Did It Again" from Britney Spears and "Sex Bomb" by Tom Jones. With his slicked back hair and ingratiating stage presence, Raabe is a master entertainer whose irony-laced performances combine arresting spectacle with sophisticated, jazz-steeped arrangements. The resulting music is consistently dizzying, delightful and devilishly catchy. Backed by his polished 12-piece orchestra, Raabe possesses a supremely flexible voice, full and resonant in lower registers and pure and clear in his falsetto range. His latest album, Küssen kann man nicht alleine (One cannot kiss alone), was produced by German new wave icon Annette Humpe, who gives his music a sleek and sensuous sheen. Expect a party from a bygone era, and don't be surprised if the audience dresses up in true Art Deco style!
