One of the first texts came in about 11 or 11:30 p.m. from the home front.
It said something along the lines that it's getting late at the ballgame, you might want to think about leaving in a little while.
Yes, we were planning on driving home after the game and it's a four-hour trip back to Princeton, hoping to make it back for the 10:30 a.m. soccer game
This is the postseason. This is the first game of the NLCS. It's tied in the 10th inning and anything can happen. My girls and I were not about to miss anything no matter the midnight hour.
My reply to the home front was, "Yeah, right."
With apologies to the Mrs., she is a Cub fan. She doesn't really understand these kind of things.
My oldest, Brooke, likes to remind her mom there is baseball played in October. Again, mom really wouldn't know.
Now when Brooke was 5 in 2003, I told her mother to let her stay up and watch Game 6 of the NLCS because the Cubs may never make it back to the World Series in her lifetime. We all know how that came out.
If we would have left early, we would have missed Carlos Beltran's game-winning double to the right field corner, lifting the Cardinals to a 4-3 win, albeit nearly five hours after the first pitch.
There may have been a few people leave early, but to answer the first question the girls' mother undoubtedly was going to give us when we got home, "yes, it was worth it, well worth it."
Anytime you can spend time with your daughters at a ballgame, especially a big ballgame like this one and make memories, it's worth it. No matter how sleep deprived you may be getting back for that soccer game after a very short stop at a hotel on the way home.
Special thanks to BCR editor Teri Simon and night editor Lyle Ganther for making that all happen and giving the ol' sports editor his first Friday sports night off in 27 years.
• Seems I've been wishing too many condolences of late. Dave Van Drew last month, and in the past week, we've lost Bill Lamb, Diane Nyman and Bill Anderson.
Mrs. Nyman was a long time PES teacher and touched many a young life, including my two daughters in the third grade. She was most caring teacher and genuinely treated each and every one of her students as if they were own children. I will always fondly look at the corner at Lincoln School where Mrs. Nyman walked her students across the street at Mrs. Nyman's corner.
Bill Anderson was one of the best basketball players to come out of the Ohio Bulldog hoops hotbed. He was elected to the Bureau County Sports and the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association halls of fame. He passed down some pretty good basketball genes to his grandson, Lance Harris, the former Bulldog all-stater.
They will all be deeply missed.
• Be sure to see Goldie Currie's page 2 story on 105-year-old resident Blanche Hewitt. To put her longevity in perspective, she was born two days after the Chicago Cubs last won the World Series.

Huang, Eddie, 1982-
New York (N.Y.) -- Biography.
Summary note:
The author is the thirty-year-old proprietor of Baohaus, the hot East Village hangout where foodies, stoners, and students come to stuff their faces with delicious Taiwanese street food late into the night, and one of the food world's brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, he wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. He grew up in theme-park America, on a could-be-anywhere cul-de-sac in suburban Orlando, Florida raised by a wild family of FOB ("fresh off the boat") hustlers and hysterics from Taiwan. While his father improbably launched a series of successful seafood and steak restaurants, the author burned his way through American culture, defying every "model minority" stereotype along the way. He obsessed over football, fought the all-American boys who called him a chink, partied like a gremlin, sold drugs with his crew, and idolized Tupac. His anchor through it all was food, from making Southern ribs with the Haitian cooks in his dad's restaurant to preparing traditional meals in his mother's kitchen to haunting the midnight markets of Taipei when he was shipped off to the homeland. After misadventures as an unlikely lawyer, street fashion renegade, and stand-up comic, he finally threw everything he loved, past and present, family and food, into his own restaurant, bringing together a legacy stretching back to China and the shards of global culture he had melded into his own identity. This book is the immigrant's story for the twenty-first century; a story of food, family, and the forging of a new notion of what it means to be an American.

While analyzing threats is critically important, it is only part of the story. This report is intended to ask the follow-up questions. How many attacks turn into incidents? What measures could have stopped them? And how do these trends vary from industry to industry? The results and data reflected in this paper, were presented at the IBM Pulse conference on March 4, 2013.

Topic: MY DAD
I have been reading alot of posts on this site for about 2 months ( I wish I had found it sooner) because there is so much information on here. I am from Toronto, Canada and my father was first digonsed in September of 2007. Before that he was a strong, healthy man who always went for check-ups and tests. 6 months before he was diagnosed our family doctor sent him to a specialist for gallbladder stones. The specialist saw that there were stones but told him if they don't bother you (which they didn't) we don't need to do anything. (I am convinced that that is what led to this cancer) Anyway when he was diagnosed in September of 2007, we had taken him to the emergency room for pain (we thought it was the gallstones) they did a cat scan and biopsy and 3 days later said it was cancer, stage 4 - and refered him to Princess Margaret Hospital - shortly after he was started on chemo (which they said was palliative) and was on the chemo till december of 2008 - he had great quality of life and was feeling good. In Late december of 2008 they stopped the chemo because it was no longer working. from then on he started going downhill. In late january they did a round of radiation (which did not help him at all) At this point he was in alot of pain, had lost alot of weight, was depressed and could not sleep. On February 9th, he had an appointment to see the palliative doctor at Princess margaret, she changed his pain meds from morphine to dalaid and it helped immensely by the 11th of February he was doing great, he looked great, was eating. they did a cat scan and ultrasound on February 12th, I went to the hospital every night and noticed how well he was doing. on February 13th, Me and my brother went to the hospital early morning. The doctor came in called me, my mom and brother out of the room and informed us that he could die at anytime, they had found when they did the ultrasound that he had a bowel obstruction and for us to call the rest of the family. We were in shock. My dad at the age of 71 passed away on February 14th at 10:15 pm. I still cannot believe what has happened and how quick it happened. It was one of the most painfull things that I have ever been through or watched.
I'm sorry this thread is sooo long - but it helped writing it all down.

Absolute Commitment – A Group blog
Victor Alm – Zoological Manager, Oakland Zoo
Patty Young – Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

As we wrapped up our week out at the Tundra Buggy Lodge we spent our last full day in lecture bringing our time on the tundra full circle.
This was brought home to us as multiple polar bears circled our lodge while we learned about the daily and long term operations of Polar Bears International and what it means to be stewards of our planet. One definition of Stewardship is the careful management of something entrusted to one's care. This is a very relevant definition and strikes to the major point of what is occurring on our planet due to climate change. We are stewards of this planet and the life and systems that operate on it. If we are not going to help then who is? Another major part of our day was conducting our webcast to our own institutions and families. This was a great opportunity to directly communicate with colleagues back home about our time at camp, what we learned, and describe our experiences. This was followed by a Skype with Robert Buchanan (President of PBI). He reminded us of why we came here and of our obligation to future generations.
Leaving camp we are now armed with the tools and knowledge we need to step out and create change. The first challenge we gave ourselves as leaders began at camp and was reducing our own carbon footprint for the week at the lodge. We took on the no shower eco-challenge. This allowed for the conservation of many resources while adding to the aroma and ambiance of the experience! The most encouraging and supportive part of this final day was getting the opportunity to meet with our Polar Bears International facilitators one on one. We used this time to finalize our forward action plans for change. Putting our thoughts on paper, then discussing them as a group helped them to really resonate with us. We are leaving the tundra this week feeling motivated and confident. We can make a change. We are committed to make a change. We will make a change!

A 75-year-old daredevil defied his fear of heights to tackle the UK's highest bungee jump at the weekend.
Donald Potter, a retired businessman, took a 300-foot plunge from a crane over a lake at Tatton Park in Cheshire.
He was raising money for St John's Hospice in Lancaster and Derian House children's hospice in Chorley.
It was not the first time Mr Potter has leapt from a great height – he did a bungee jump for the children's hospice in the Lyth Valley 10 years ago.
He said: "It was great, fun I really enjoyed it. Everyone says I am brave but there is a technique to it. You just close your eyes and let yourself go. It shakes your body like mad with the g-force.
"It was somewhat nervewracking in the few minutes before and I made the mistake of looking over the edge.
"I actually have a fear of heights and when I lived in Florida I did a parachute jump in the Everglades to try and face it head on but you never really overcome it.
"I had to get a doctor's certificate to do the jump, as it is with anyone over 50."
Mr Potter, who is a group leader for the South Lakes University of the Third Age and lives just outside Grayrigg, helps organise activities for retired and semi-retired people under the motto of learning for pleasure.
He has been known for leading more adventurous pursuits.
"The hospice movement is a terribly good cause and close to my heart," he said. "I have raised just under £600 and hope to raise more.
"I might even go abroad to do a bigger jump next year."

Product Description
I spent all of 2008 developing 12 Steps to Whole Foods, in response to many readers discovering GreenSmoothieGirl.com and asking for a step-by-step plan to learn the lifestyle I was advocating for.
I became preoccupied with wanting others to be able to do what I'd done, but without all the frustrating bumps along the way. I'd made countless recipes that no one in my family liked. I'd bought hundreds of dollars of ingredients that were hard to find and expensive, with limited or one-time uses.
I'd made recipes that took several hours in the kitchen. I'd wasted time chasing down nutritional bunny hills with little or no gain, and I'd read a lot of useless books about food cults. Along the way, I did find many invaluable nuggets of information and good practices that enormously impacted my family's life for the better, and others' as well, when I taught them.
However, in working with thousands of people the past few years, we found that many were trained in how to "diet." I resist the idea that 12 Steps is a diet. The word itself connotes "temporary" and "restrictive." What I am teaching here is a lifestyle that I intend to bless your life and minimize your disease risk, forever. It's about abundance, since the world of plant foods has nearly infinite colors, textures, tastes, and combining potential.
However, there is value to making things simple and easily planned, and as a planner and list-maker myself, I understand the value of living from lists!
Our just-released Menu Planner tool was highly requested, so we've spent well over a year developing it!
It is an effort to help your initial foray into the whole-foods lifestyle be as predictable as possible! Many thanks to Desiree Ward and Tina Huntsman, who assisted in developing the menu plans and shopping lists and counted every penny to give you budget predictions. They found that feeding a family of 4 with these menu plans cost $100/week.
Anything new can be frustrating in the beginning. There are a number of habits to change, and at first, you may feel out of your depth, like you have no idea what to eat. (Especially for the overachievers, who try to do 6 steps at a time!)
Before now, you may have eaten prepared and processed foods, or fast foods, but you had a routine, you knew where to buy everything, and how to get or make it. Now that you've committed to a change, of course, you have to re-learn those things. Keep in mind when I suggest Costco as a source, and you don't have a Costco membership, there are other places to obtain the same item in your hometown. Having a health food store, a buying club, an Asian market, and a regular grocery store with a good produce section, you'll be just fine. Even if you're missing one or even two of those, you can definitely do this!
If you stay the course, your new habits will become as easy and habitual as your old ones were. Those new habits have the power to nourish you, energize you, and endow you with health, lovely skin and hair, and ideal weight. Your old habits were likely clogging your digestive system, draining your energy, and causing your weight to gradually creep upwards.

JAMES Beattie has hailed Accrington Stanley's recovery this season as 'miraculous' – and he believes goal hero Peter Murphy will start to gain admirers for his late heroics.
Murphy scored Stanley's winner in their 1-0 triumph at Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night to move them up to 17th in League Two.
Having been cast adrift at the bottom after only two points from their opening 10 matches, they have now taken 30 points from their next 17 games – virtually automatic promotion form.
That now puts them only three points off the top half and incredibly only six points behind eighth – although the play-off places are a distant 14 points away.
"I totally believe in the players and the position they've got themselves into from the position we were in is nothing short of miraculous," Beattie said.
"We know where we've come from, we were in a very precarious position with plenty of people writing us off and it's down to the lads' hard work and the belief in themselves.
"The away form is good, we've won five out of the last seven.
"We'll just keep getting the home games called off and keep playing away all the time!"
The Reds' home game against Bury at the weekend was postponed but they return to action against Morecambe on Saturday at the Store First Stadium, where they have won only three matches this season.
Murphy netted his eighth goal of the season at Bristol Rovers, with five of them coming in the final five minutes of matches.
The 23-year-old midfielder is one of several Stanley players who are out of contract at the end of the season.
"Peter is a good young player and he has got all the attributes to become a very good young player," said Beattie, who has appeared on odds lists for the vacant managerial position at Oxford United.
"It's up to Peter, we'll give him the platform go out there and express himself and as long as he's disciplined and he keeps getting in the box then he's going to get noticed.
"Hopefully we can nurture him into a better player for Accrington Stanley but, if he progresses in the way that he and I hope he will, then I think the club will struggle to hang on to him."
Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is due to extend his loan with Stanley until the end of the season, but Beattie is uncertain whether there will be any more business before the transfer window closes tomorrow.
"I don't know," Beattie said. "We'd obviously like to add a couple to the squad maybe but the finances are quite tight."

Friday, 24 February 2012
I have also had an amazing couple of days experiencing the kindness of blogging friends. I can't really say much because (if you don't know by now) I'm a total sap. I will cry and get way too mushy.
Firstly the talented and wonderful Nathalie at Noas' Libellule sent me this beautiful thank you for my guest post. I love the tape on the packaging and then I honestly sat stroking these for probably a bit too long!
My picture doesn't do justice to the colours, the green is deeper and so soft and yummy, I have to find a special place to put these mats but for now I've hung them up so I can admire them! I can't crochet so I'm in awe! She also makes divine shawls, scarves, blankets and has a great tutorial for a lace pouch - it's gorgeous! Thank you my creative friend! (just to point out I've not actually met her... yet! Trying to persuade her to get a ticket!!).
I also spent some time stroking the contents of another incredible package (I don't have a fetish or anything I just like texture ok?!!). This was from Deborah at Simply Miss Luella, her blog is so nicely designed and her projects are beautiful! I think we have very similar taste and all her makes are so bright and colourful. She sent this out of the kindness of her heart and well just look...
It's my own DS collection! I just love all her lines. After the gift from my friend the other day and this beautiful lot I'm entirely in fabric heaven. Deborah you are gracious and kind, thank you!
The next package was from a generous linker of the Fugly fabric party - Lisa at In The Boon Docks, she had a couple of sets of her fugly fabric left and sweetly offered to send them to me since I didn't actually participate! I have so many projects I want to make but I will be using these bundles to make another quilt to donate to our local children's centre. Thank you so much Lisa! I know the kids will love it and use it, the fabric is so soft!
And then as if those lovely gifts weren't enough I received such a wonderful email from another amazing blogger, the marvellous Jodi at Tickle and Hide, thanking me for the linky party. As a direct result of her giveaway she actually met up with another sewer in her area! It's an incredible story and I welled up reading her email. It was my intention for people to visit other blogs and hopefully make new blogging friends, to have had a hand in a 'real life' one too just blows my mind! When I think of how wonderful this community really is, you know what I do, *blubbing*!!
I have a little something to share with you all, not as exciting as actual fabric I know but it might prove helpful to somebody.
I got totally sick of the scrappy piece of paper stuck above my sewing machine with my list of projects on. It wasn't very inspiring and there was scribbles all over it. In the hopes of being a bit more organised I spent some time on picnik and created this:
If you fancy one of your own you can easily download and print it out for yourself using the link below. I have seen some clever bloggers who put lists like this in frames so you can write on it with wipeable marker and don't need to print more copies! I'm just not that organised so bluetak and paper it is!
And if that doesn't really excite you (which is fine!) on Monday I'll be announcing plans for a new linky fabric swap so watch out :)
Oh and if your stuck with nothing to do this weekend and happen to live anywhere near Bletchley Park - unfortunately I don't :( - go and visit this exhibition. My Auntie has a wall hanging there!! I've not even seen it yet but I know I will when it's finished it's tour!

Did you know?
The Umgeni Choo-Choo follows in the tracks of pioneer wagon trains dating back to the 1830s.
Half an hour inland from the beautiful beaches of Durban, at the gateway to the scenic KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, lies the picturesque Valley of a Thousand Hills.
Conveniently located midway between the coastal hub of Durban (now known as eThekwini) and the provincial capital Pietermaritzburg, the region is ideally suited to a lazy days browsing through the many arts, crafts, collectibles and curios found in the area.
Around the rim of the Valley of a Thousand Hills lie verdant suburbs dotted with cottages and bed and breakfast establishments, while upmarket shopping centres in Hillcrest, Westville and Botha's Hill offer shoppers a plethora of décor, home crafts, clothing, food and other goodies.
The world-famous Comrades Marathon runs through here in May and the Amashova cycle race follows the same route in October. The raging Umgeni River in the valley below is the testing ground for participants in the gruelling Dusi Canoe Marathon every February.
This region is also home to the 1000 Hills Chefs School one of the country's top culinary schools and training ground for a number of the world's top chefs; bespoke wooden furniture by Shelldon; the 1000 Hills Bird Park and the early Saturday morning Shongweni Farmers' Market at Assagay.
For generations the Zulu have lived in and around the valley and no visit is complete without a trip to one of the Zulu cultural villages, where tourists can gain insight into the culture and traditions of one of the largest ethnic groups in South Africa. Traditional dancing, cultural shows and curios are showcased at Phezulu Safari Park, while crafts and curios are sold at the 1000 Hills Arts and Crafts Village.
Mariannhill Monastery, established by Roman Catholic monks more than a century ago, boasts striking architecture and an art gallery, while the Umgeni Choo-Choo steam train departs from Kloof Station on the last Sunday of every month and winds through the valley to Inchanga for lunch before returning home.
The nature reserves of Assagay, Springside and Krantzkloof Gorge offer respite from the bustle of the modern urban lifestyle, but the adventurous might prefer paragliding or rock climbing at Inchanga and Monteseel, or mountain biking at Giba Gorge Mountain Bike Park.

Web Surfing at Sea
|TeleSea Ultra Broadband
TeleSea is a new name in marine communications, with an ambitious and unique nonsatellite broadband technology. It's based on the hot 802.11b wireless protocol, sometimes called Wi-Fi, that you may have seen being used by über geeks in airports or Starbucks. In those places, Wi-Fi offers super-fast 2- to 5-Mbps Internet speeds using modest equipment, but only at ranges of a few hundred feet. Somewhat more powerful transceivers are being installed to cover marinas these days, but somehow TeleSea has managed to legally ramp up Wi-Fi range to about 30 miles over water and has built its own antenna networks covering a number of boating areas like South Florida, Long Island Sound, and San Francisco Bay.
While TeleSea's Gold program offers an around-the-clock network operations center with concierge service, its main appeal is unlimited high-speed Web surfing for $500 a month-- relatively inexpensive compared to other marine systems. However, the initial hardware cost is $7,500, and the coverage area is quite limited...so far. TeleSea intends to soon extend service along the coasts and into the Caribbean and also plans to introduce a worldwide flat-fee satellite service this spring.
TeleSea Phone: (800) 747-9946. www.teleseawireless.net.

We were passing through Lockhart once again yesterday, but weren't really feeling the bbq craving. Didn't want to stop at Smitty's or Kreuz or Blacks again. We have always been curious about Chisolm Trail BBQ, but the line had always been long in the past. We were curious because their sign outside states they have things like catfish, fajitas and other odd items for a bbq place to serve.
When we went by yesterday, there was only one car in the drive through line (yes, I said they have a drive through lane, great when its 100+ degrees and you have two dogs in the car) so we decided to give it a shot. The wife and I both ordered a ham sandwich. Came out to be under $6, but man was it good. It was on a huge bun and had a nice thick slice of ham (no deli sliced ham here), lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. It was perfecly balanced. You could taste a the smoke on the outer edges of the slice of ham. Just perfect. Its hard to make a ham sandwich sound as good as it tastes, but if you are ever in Lockhart and don't feel like bbq (which is kind of weird) this is a good alternative. Will try and stop by next time and get some brisket or sausage or something.

The Forrester Wave: Cloud Strategies Of Online Collaboration Software Vendors, Q3 2012
Posted Date:
In Forrester's 38-criteria evaluation of the cloud strategies of online collaboration software vendors, we identified eight significant collaboration services providers -Box, Cisco Systems, Citrix Online, Google, IBM, Microsoft, salesforce.com, and Yammer -in the category and researched, analyzed, and scored them.
This report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills our criteria for constructing an online collaboration service and where they stand in relation to each other. Given the relative immaturity of this market and the nature of client questions about it, Forrester chose to evaluate the overall strategies of these providers across criteria like global footprint, service-level agreements, mobile support, enterprise readiness, and more. This report and associated Excel model highlight the key criteria CIOs and their staffs should evaluate when looking at prospective providers of online collaboration services.

Seattle Campus
Knowledge of past/future patterns of climate to improve Pacific Northwest resource management. Topics include the predictability of natural/human-caused climate changes; past societal reactions to climate impacts on water, fish, forest, and coastal resources; how climate and public policies interact to affect ecosystems and society. Offered: jointly with ENVIR 585/ESS 585/SMEA 585; Sp.
Class description
This interdisciplinary course focuses on determining cases in which an understanding of Pacific Northwest climate -- its natural variability and projected future changes -- could be used to improve regional natural resource management. Students will develop an understanding of the causes and consequences of natural variations in regional climate (driven by such large-scale climate oscillations as El Niño/La Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and projected trends resulting from global warming. We will study the importance of both climate fluctuations and society's reactions to those fluctations for the region's natural resources, focusing on PNW water, fish, forest, and coastal resources. We will examine the natural, economic, and institutional contexts of regional resource management decisions in order to identify real-world opportunities where existing information about natural climate variability and human-caused global warming could improve regional resource management.

There are strategies pork producers can adopt to reduce swine production odor and thereby improve relations with neighbors.
Prevailing winds, tree buffers and biofilters should all be considered to help odor mitigation efforts on swine operations, according to Eldon McAfee, attorney with Beving, Swanson and Forrest, Des Moines. "If you are considering a location for a new swine facility, start with the best separation distance you can. Pay close attention to the direction of prevailing winds and plan accordingly," he says.
If your separation distance and other factors are less than ideal, McAfee recommends that producers consider biofilters for odor mitigation. Strategically-placed tree shelterbelts with both fast and slower growing tree species can also aid odor mitigation efforts. "Science shows that tree buffers help reduce odors."
Clean pigs and clean buildings with effective ventilation systems also play a vital role in minimizing odors, according to McAfee.
When it is time to agitate manure and land application, let your neighbors know when it will be done. "Be reasonable and if your neighbor is reasonable also, hopefully it will all work out."

THE son of a victim of botched eye surgery performed by a private firm at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton has exposed fresh controversies in the saga.
Chris Newcombe's 84-year-old father, who lives near Langport, was among dozens of patients who suffered complications after cataract surgery by Vanguard Healthcare in May.
The company was contracted to perform operations on May 2 to reduce a backlog of cataract patients at the hospital.
But when 31 of 62 patients operated on at Vanguard's mobile unit experienced blurred vision and swollen corneas, the £320,000 contract for 400 operations was terminated after four days.
One in 400 patients usually experiences such side effects.
The 84-year-old's surgery was on the fourth day, Friday, May 9, AFTER the most senior staff at Musgrove's ophthalmology department formally lodged concerns with the hospital's managing trust about systemic problems in the work being carried out by Vanguard, and saying it should cease immediately, Mr Newcombe has discovered.
He is now seeking answers as to how Vanguard's operations were able to continue.
The octogenarian was treated under local anaesthetic in a procedure that "felt very rushed" his son relays.
Mr Newcombe said: "It was clear the complete failure in his eyesight was not normal.
"Musgrove confirmed there had indeed been some complications with my father's procedure."
He said his parents had "only praise and admiration" for Musgrove's ophthalmology department, which has picked up the pieces after Vanguard's failures.
Only a cornea transplant can restore his father's sight.
Mr Newcombe added: "My father is traumatised and depressed with the loss of his eyesight.
"Previous pleasures of gardening and watching sport on the TV have now been taken away from him.
"This could have been prevented if the welfare of the patients had been thought about, rather than this urgency of just getting people through."
Musgrove's patient build-up is said to have resulted from an influx of emergency patients in the winter of 2012/13, along with struggles to replace medical ophthalmology staff who had left.
Musgrove's medical director, Dr Colin Close, has acknowledged the hospital could be hit by a wave of compensation claims for Vanguard's errors, though it is hoped most patients will recover fully after follow-up visits.
He told the County Gazette in May: "Any financial responsibility would rest with us.
"If any patients wish to pursue compensation, we would work with them."
A Musgrove spokeswoman said: "Due to the ongoing nature of our investigations it would be inappropriate for us to comment in detail on the sequence of events surrounding the unfortunate complications experienced by our patients receiving cataract surgery with Vanguard Healthcare in their mobile theatre onsite at Musgrove Park Hospital.
"Our first and foremost concern has always been our patients, and particularly those who have experienced complications.
"We have been in very close contact with them since the incident to ensure they are fully informed with our progress and receive the highest quality aftercare and treatment.
"We will want to discuss the outcomes of our investigations with them first, once they have reached conclusion.
"We want to take this opportunity to reassure all patients coming to Musgrove Park Hospital that we are confident that they will receive the highest levels of care throughout their treatment with us."
Laurence Vick, head of clinical negligence at Exeter-based Michelmores Solicitors, which is pursuing a legal claim for the patient, gave credit to Musgrove for "stepping up to the plate."
He said: "From the taxpayer's point of view, it would be totally unreasonable for Vanguard to walk away from this scandal with only their reputation, and not their [investment], damaged."
The Judicial Studies Board's guidance on personal injury claims indicates Musgrove could potentially be liable to pay thousands of pounds in compensation to affected patients.
It advises that between £27,000 and £30,000 could be claimed by an individual for the complete loss of sight in one eye, and between £13,000 and £21,000 for "serious but incomplete" loss of vision in one eye.
Ian Gillespie, Vanguard Healthcare's chief executive, said: "Patient care is our number one priority.
"We'd like to assure patients that we are working closely with the Trust to understand and investigate the root causes of any complications."
Affected patients can contact Musgrove's Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 01823-343536.

A TEENAGE boy was left with cuts to his head and hand after being robbed by three men in a residential area of Poole.
The 16-year-old was near the Sweet Home Inn in Ringwood Road when he was approached by the trio, all in their late teens to early twenties. They demanded the youth's mobile telephone and assaulted him.
The men grabbed the phone, but after the attack, the 16-year-old found it not far away from him.
Two of the three muggers were about 5ft 7ins tall and wore dark clothing. The third was about 6ft tall and was dressed in a dark top and grey trouser bottoms.
The robbery took place at around 11pm on Thursday January 31 but details have only just been released by the police.
Det Cons Wendy Stout of Poole and Bournemouth CID said: "This was an unprovoked attack. I urge anyone who witnessed this incident, and anyone who saw a group matching the description to call police as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should call the police on 101 with incident number 31:510, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Ralph Anthony "Iggy" Ignatowski (April 8, 1926 – March 4–7, 1945) was a United States Marine Corps private who was captured and killed by the Japanese in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. The circumstances of this personally involved one of the Iwo Jima flag raisers, John Bradley.
He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Polish-born Walter Ignatowski and a German mother, the former Frances Thomas.
Ignatowski failed the physical examination when he first tried to enlist in the Marine Corps in 1943. However, he tried again, taking a friend's urine sample with him and this time passed the physical. In 1944, after "boot" camp training, he was assigned to the 3rd Platoon of E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marine Regiment, 5th Marine Division. He became a close buddy with one of his platoon corpsmennamed John "Doc" Bradley, who was to become one of the American flag-raisers on Iwo Jima and who was with Ignatowski just before he was captured on the battlefield.
Military records
Service record: Private Ignatowski was aboard the USS Missoula at sea on February 5, 1945, and arrived at Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands on February 7. Ignatowski was at sea again from February 8 to 10, and disembarked at Saipan, Marianas Islands, on February 11. Ignatowski boarded USS LST-481[1] and sailed to Iwo Jima from February 11 to 18. Ignatowski, E Company, 28th Marines, arrived at Iwo Jima on February 19. Ignatowski was wounded by shrapnel in the jaw on February 20, 1945 and returned to duty the same day.
Regiment record: On March 4, 1945, Ignatowski was seen captured and taken into a cave by Japanese soldiers and about 2 hours later, the deceased body of Second Lieutenant Leonard Sokol (KIA) was taken away at same location by Japanese soldiers. On March 7, 1945, both their bodies were found. The following entries from the 28th Marine Regiment records describe the timeline of their deaths:
- Mar 4, 1845 hrs - Fr LT228 - One P.F.C. from Easy Co, name unknown, believed captured by Japs in vicinity of Hill 215.
- Mar 4, 2030 hrs - Fr LT228 - Lt. Sokol was killed at 1330 at 233 X and body taken by Nips - No maps or shackle codes known to be on his person according to Capt Severance.
- Mar 4, 2100 hrs - Fr LT 228 - All quiet - Easy Co reports Japs were definitely seen grabbing man into cave near where Lt. Sokol's body disappeared.
- Mar 7, 1900 hrs - Fr. LT228 - Body of captured PFC from "E" Co (Ignatowski) had apparently been searched (pack emptied) and tortured - arm broken, body beaten. Location 450 yds north of tip of Hill 362. Forward and left of E Co's present CP - Lt. Sokol's body nearby mutilated by one of our own flame throwers.
- Mar 7, 1940 hrs - Fr D2 - Corps requests written statements from men in "E" Co who saw Ignatowsky captured.
- Mar 8, 0855 hrs - Fr 5th Div. Red Cross - Request details on capture of PFC Ignatowsky "E" Co. Call Mr. Thomas c/o Columbus #1
- Mar 8, 1010 hrs - Fr LT228 - Ignatowski body evacuated with Lt. Sokol's. En route, via Regt.
- Mar 8, 1150 hrs - To D2 - Requested Regimental ARC representative and Regimental Surgeon examine body of P.F.C. Ignatowski and prepare affidavits.
- Mar 9, 1154 hrs - Fr D2 - Requests detail re Ignatowski and statements: a. Circumstances of capture b. Events intervening between capture and recovery. c. Circumstances of recovery of body.
Although the exact circumstances are uncertain, Ignatowski was either taken prisoner by Japanese troops, tortured, and killed, or he was killed and then mutilated.
Ignatowski's death is referenced in several books:
"On March 3, Private Ralph Ignatowski was somehow dragged into a cave within a small canyon. What I tell you next is what I heard but did not see. He may have tried to rescue Ignatowski, but I don't know for sure.""I walked into the canyon and found Lieutenant Sokol on a road, Ralph Ignatowski close behind. An officer approached me and said, 'Don't touch them. We may have an atrocity here.' I understand Ralph had been bayoneted numerous times; some punctures bled, some did not."
- In his book Semper Chai!: Marines of Blue and White (and Red) about Jews in the U.S. Marine Corps, author Howard J. Leavitt collected eyewitness reports regarding the actual circumstances of Ignatowski and Sokol's deaths, including a letter to the surviving members of the family of Lieutenant Sokol by fellow Marine James Buchanan:
"I have tried so hard to block this out. To forget it. We could choose a buddy to go in with. My buddy was a guy from Milwaukee. We were pinned down in one area. Someone elsewhere fell injured and I ran to help out, and when I came back my buddy was gone. I couldn't figure out where he was. I could see all around, but he wasn't there. And nobody knew where he was.A few days later someone yelled that they'd found him. They called me over because I was a corpsman. The Japanese had pulled him underground and tortured him. His fingernails... his tongue... It was terrible. I've tried hard to forget all this."Many years later, in researching my father's life, I asked Cliff Langley, Doc's co-corpsman, about the discovery of Iggy's body. Langley told me it looked to him as though Ralph Ignatowski had endured just about every variety of physical cruelty imaginable."Both his arms were fractured," Langley said. "They just hung there, there like arms on a broken doll. He had been bayoneted repeatedly. The back of his head had been smashed in."
- Ignatowski's death is also mentioned in the book Flags of Our Fathers, coauthored by the son of flag raiser John Bradley. The following are his recollections of Ignatowski's death:
Other eyewitness reports further indicated that Ignatowski had been tortured in the cave by the Japanese for three days, during which time they also cut out his eyes, cut off his ears, smashed in his teeth, and cut off his genitalia.
Ignatowski's remains were initially interred with military honors in Grave 1201, Row 11, Plot 5, 5th Marine Division Cemetery, Iwo Jima. In 1949, his body was exhumed and reinterred at the Rock Island National Cemetery in Illinois.

One of the district's most famous former mills could be transformed into a £1 million outdoor pursuits centre.
The ambitious project, for the old Ponden Mill site near Stanbury, would also create up to 20 jobs.
The three-storey centre would accommodate between 64 and 70 people, mainly in dormitories, and there would be a cafe on the ground floor open to the public.
Camping provision is also planned.
Some activities for visiting schools and similar groups would be provided on-site, and other pursuits will take place at neighbouring locations.
"It's a lovely spot and is a perfect place for an outdoor centre – on the Pennine Way and close to a reservoir for water activities," said Richard Trainer, who bought the Grade II-listed building more than a year ago.
"We have lived in the area for a long time and known and liked the mill.
"Within weeks of it closing, it had been stripped by thieves and was allowed to decay.
"We've spent a year repairing damage so we can stabilise the building, but our aim is to fully restore it and create a useful asset for the community.
"There has already been some extremely positive feedback, and quite a few groups have expressed interest in using the facilities when they are up and running."
Mr Trainer, 51, who lives at Oxenhope, is a computer programmer, but shares an interest in archaeology with his wife, Barbara.
"We want to preserve as much as we can of the existing building," he said.
"The only bit we plan to demolish is a lean-to. Despite the disrepair it had fallen into, the building isn't actually that bad, and in some ways is well preserved."
A planning application has been submitted to Bradford Council, and if permission is given, it is hoped to have some facilities – notably the camping and cafe – operational by this summer to take advantage of visiting tourists descending on the district to watch the Tour de France Grand Depart.
The overall scheme would take about 18 months to complete.
As part of the plans, two families would live on-site.
Built as a cotton mill at the time of the Industrial Revolution, Ponden Mill eventually changed over to worsted, and was run by R Sunderland and Son (Spinners) Ltd from 1898 until 1973, when it was sold at auction for £10,500.
It opened as a retail outlet, specialising in household textiles, such as bedding and towels, in the mid-70s.
The mill store closed in late 2008.

In youth suicide, promoting overall mental health among adolescents is key to reducing possible suicidal thoughts. Some people argue that limiting young people's access to lethal weapons, such as firearms, may be a pivotal deterrent. Some school-based youth suicide awareness programs exist to try to increase high-school students' awareness of the problem, provide knowledge about the behavioral characteristics of teens at risk, and describe available treatment or counseling resources. However, some research has shown that this may have an unintended negative effect of suggesting suicide as an option for teenagers [1].
Counter-measures to suicideEdit
- See also: Suicide prevention
When talking to a teenage person who is contemplating suicide, it is important to take the threat seriously. Seventy-five percent of all suicides give some warning of their intentions to a friend or family member.[2]
There are many methods of helping teenagers who are considering suicide. In order to help a suicidal person it is important to show the helper can be trusted and will listen. Seeing a doctor is widely recommended as well. A course doctors commonly take when presented with a young, suicidal patient is a combination of drug-based treatment (eg. imipramine or fluoxetine) with a 'talking-based' therapy, such as referral to a cognitive behaviour therapist. This kind of therapy concentrates on modifying self-destructive and irrational thought processes. [3]
When trying to help a teenager who is considering suicide, it's important to try to find out what is troubling the person. Lack of parental interest in their teenage children may be considered a factor in teenage suicide: according to one study 90 percent of suicidal teenagers believed their families did not understand them.[4]
When confronted by a suicidal teen, do not try to argue them out of committing suicide, or attempt to make them feel guilty for considering suicide (eg. "your family loves you so much, how could you think like this?"). This type of intervention can actually serve to alienate the child further. Instead, try to explore the reasons why the teenager is so unhappy and feels that suicide is the only solution. The teenager's pediatrician will also be able to plan a suitable course of treatment, or make a psychiatric referral, if the teenager is willing to engage with the proposed treatment.
In a crisis situation professional help must be sought, either at hospital or a walk-in clinic. There are also several telephone help numbers for help on teenage suicide, depending on one's location (country/state). Also, emergency services should be contacted immediately, in case the teenager makes a suicide attempt.

A loose-fitting jacket with a four-button front closure, it has side vents for freedom of movement, generous front and breast patch pockets, and sleeves that can be rolled at the cuff.
Made with 12 oz denim with double-stitched seams for strength and wear resistance, it has been pre-washed for a broken-in feel, and has a soft cotton flannel lining for cool-weather warmth. Suitable for men or women, it is rugged enough for work use, yet stylish enough to wear about town.
Excellent value in a well-constructed garment, still made in Ireland from European cloth by Lee Valley Ireland – a company whose name just resonates. It's a favorite here!

I disappear from RA for a while and come back to x-rays of broken limbs.
Zoomy, was this a CX accident? Did I miss the thread where the epic story was told?
I'm tired of doctors. Yesterday I had my second surgery in six weeks to get my thyroid removed. Yuck. I feel like someone punched me in the throat. And it is interfering with one of my favorite hobbies... eating!
Here is to good health to all and no more doctors for a while!
Just because I look dumb doesn't mean I'm not...
Princess Cancer Pants
Here's the whole saga. I'm pretty gutted about being told I can't do ANYTHING until after the first of the year. Stupid.
I'm sorry that you're benched, too. Are you hypo? No fun. We should have a pity party. We're drinking wine, tonight.

She was not strong. She was valiant. Radiant. Brave and broken. The beauty she discovered in the aftermath was unparalleled to anything she had known before, because it had come at such a cost.
~ Unknown
Wow. That is sucktacular. Sorry to hear. I will now look at the silver lining since I'm only out 2ish weeks. Phew.
Yes, I was hypo. Long story kinda short: They found a lump on the left side of the thyroid they were worried about. Biopsies came back inconclusive. I got that side of the thyroid removed. Doc said the other fine looked fine so he left it in. Pathology came back later with two different spots on the removed portion of the thyroid (two different cancers to boot). So, I got to go back in yesterday to remove the rest. Nice. Hoping the right side comes back clean from pathology so I don't have to do the radioactive treatment.
Anyway, your battle wounds make me remember my mountain biking days. I'm too big of a klutz for that. I might just stick with the roads. Afterall, I nearly sliced off my thumb cutting an apple for my kid. Takes talent. I was going to inline a pic from the SNL sketch of Julia Childs cutting the dickens out of her finger but it grossed me out too much to post!
Tired of doctors and needles.
Onward and upward!
I remember that SNL bit! It was Akroyd, right?
Yeah...my biggest fear now is riding gunshy. I really hope I'm able to ride off-road again without freakin-out!
So you'll be on synthroid, now? I seem to recall that there's a thyroid support group on RA.
Indeed it was Dan:
ya, that is pretty much me.
Thanks for the heads up on the thyroid group. I just joined. Synthroid for life, yo.
Now back to my lortab + Dr Pepper combo.
Now back to my lortab + Dr Pepper combo.
Ha, for me it was Norco + Diet Rite!
I have a BIG FAT 10 MILE BAR on my log...finally!!! Just a nowhere bike ride, but it felt good...I mean, except for my sit bones--they hate me, right now! They hurt a ton less after riding 147 miles across the state!
Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Speaking of sit bones, the spin bikes at the gym are horrible! They have these massive spongy saddles that make my entire backside go number after an hour.
PS - how does one embed the video rather than just link to youtube?
