M.D. Reimar Banis touts energy medicine
When someone experiencing extreme stress develops an ulcer or someone who's anxious has heart palpitations, it's hard to refute the body-mind connection. According to practitioners of Rubimed therapy, sometimes physical symptoms stem from past emotional experiences that were too traumatic to fully process at the time.
Rubimed, a European approach that uses homeopathic remedies to resolve emotional conflicts and thereby improve physical health, got its start in Germany about 20 years ago. A naturopath and conventionally trained medical doctor named Reimar Banis noticed that some of his patients just weren't making progress despite being treated for chronic disease.
He ended up studying something called "energy medicine", which was already a rapidly growing field in his native country. Banis, who'll be speaking at an upcoming public forum in Vancouver, claims he found that when patients' emotional blocks were removed, their physical condition tended to improve dramatically.
"Every experienced medical doctor knows that emotional issues play an important role in almost all diseases," Banis says from Switzerland, where he's now based.
Also known as "psychosomatic energetics", the therapy is grounded in the concept that energy flows throughout the body. The more and the easier the energy flows, the healthier a person is. However, when that energy is reduced or blocked because of unresolved emotional issues, illness results.
"We all have different emotional stresses that happen in our lifetime," says local Rubimed practitioner
and homeopath Heather Schofield, medical-educational director of Biomed, a naturopathic- and homeopathic-remedy vendor and educator. "In some instances, we're able to get over that emotional stress…but in other instances, you're not able to.
"These emotional stresses, which can be called emotional conflicts, end up staying with us and becoming part of the subconscious. This starts to create energy blocks in the body.…Over time, physical symptoms can start to manifest, and negative behavioural patterns can also start to manifest."
Although many treatments may relieve physical symptoms, Rubimed purports to do this by addressing people's core emotional issues.
Banis, author of New Life Through Energy Healing: The Atlas of Psychosomatic Energetics, determined that there are more than two dozen types of emotional conflicts—such as anger, fear, and hopelessness—that can be stored in the human energy field. Those conflicts affect the corresponding internal energy centres, or chakras. A device called the Reba is used to measure frequencies to determine energy levels. He then developed the corresponding homeopathic treatments to dissolve those conflicts.
The remedies are used in pairs: one to treat chakras, where energy flow may be blocked, and the other to treat underlying emotional issues. People put drops in water and may take the treatment for a few weeks to several months.
"The remedies have been termed 'psychotherapy in a bottle'," Schofield says.
Banis claims that therapy can be used to address a range of health conditions, from irritable bowel syndrome to fibromyalgia to chronic pain, as well as psychiatric illnesses including depression and anxiety, and can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments.
There are more than 2,000 Rubimed practitioners in Europe and North America. Schofield sees interest growing in healing methods that are centred on the mind-body connection.
"There is a huge body of science and research, and fields such as psychoneuroendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology, that are taking and looking at the whole body-mind medicine and how the immune system, hormones, endocrine system, and nervous system are all very connected," Scho-field says. "There's recognition that emotional experiences and stresses affect all of those things and can throw everything out of balance.
"In Europe, the majority of practitioners are medical doctors," she adds. "Practitioners are looking for solutions for patients on the emotional side. This really fills a gap. This is the piece of the puzzle that's missing."
Dr. Reimar Banis and Dr. Birgitt Holschuh-Lorang will speak at the Holiday Inn (711 West Broadway) at 7:30 p.m. next Thursday (June 19). For tickets, see www.biomedicine.com/energy or call 604-415-0535, extension 1.

Very sad to see this basically uncritical ad for Rubimed in the 'Straight. Surely a "Health" column should be about something more than wishful thinking. The Rubimed.com site summarizes it nicely: "DISCLAIMER: The information on this website is not medical science or medical advice. This information is not backed up by scientific evidence.". To paraphrase: after 15+ years of this they have no evidence that it actually helps.

It would be difficult to pack more bullshit woo-words into one article than this one does. Homeopathy on top of chakras on top of energy healing? Any one of those things in isolation should be enough to set off your snake-oil detector, nevermind all three.
How about applying a skeptical eye to these things for once?

It is a fact that modern medicine has poor knoledge on reasons as to why a disease occurs or catches a particular individual. When reasons are not known how can treament be thought over satisfying the pathology involved?can it satisfy the mind of the patient?mind is an enigma to modern medicine because nobody has described it's anatomy as yet then how can have any microscopes to see the pathology of the mind?Any reagentsto check reactions of mind to arriveat the conclusion whether mind is soluble in cold water or hot water or in absolute alcohol etc? that describes the state of modern medicine.Are my remarks insulting because they are talking of reality?

JUDY WOODRUFF: We look now at the state of organized labor with the leaders of three unions.
Mary Kay Henry is president of the Service Employees International Union. Jim Hoffa is president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. And Lee Saunders is president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
And, welcome, all three, to you both to the NewsHour.
Lee Saunders, let me start with you. On this Labor Day, at a time when too many Americans are out of work, how healthy is organized labor?
LEE SAUNDERS, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees: Well, we have taken our hits over the past two and three years, especially in the public sector, where we have had very, very right-wing conservative governors steal our voices away from us, take collective bargaining away from us.
In Wisconsin, Scott Walker limited our right to bargain and limited our right to have a union in that state. John Kasich tried to do the same thing in Ohio, but we were able to beat him back by more than a 2-to-1 margin. What we must do and what we're doing now is we're organizing, we're mobilizing, and we're educating our members.
This is a very serious election, possibly the most important election that organized labor has been faced with for many, many years. We are under attack like never before, and we have got to fight back.
GWEN IFILL: And, yet, Mr. Hoffa, here we are in North Carolina, probably the least unionized state in the country. Organized labor has made it clear to the Democrats that they weren't particularly happy about this choice. Are you still unhappy?
JAMES HOFFA, International Brotherhood of Teamsters: Well, it is what it is. We're here and we're going to participate and play a major role in this campaign and support Barack Obama.
I think we could have had a better selection. But now that we're here, I mean, we're all into this together. Organized labor is 100 percent behind Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. So I think you're going to see a tremendous turnout here.
I'm excited about being here. We have a lot of support here. A lot of our Teamsters from this state and other states are here. So you're going to have a good participation. And we're excited about it.
GWEN IFILL: And, yet, Ms. Henry, union membership is declining. Mr. Saunders mentioned what happened in Wisconsin. He was practically carried in on a — he was praised constantly.
Wisconsin was a big point at the Republican National Convention last week. Are you a step behind?
MARY KAY HENRY, Service Employees International Union: I think we have to judge the state of labor by the state of all working people in this country, and that the labor movement is the last line of defense that working people have against the concentration of corporate power, and that when, as labor leaders, we stand up for getting people back to work and making sure that everybody pays their share, fair share, we're going to revitalize the American labor movement, because we're standing up for all working people.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Lee Saunders, let me come back to Wisconsin, because in that situation, Gov. Walker went after collective bargaining, made changes there. There was a huge recall effort.
But labor and the Democrats were beat back. Wasn't that a significant setback for organized labor?
LEE SAUNDERS: Well, it was a setback.
But you have got to remember that $60 million went into that state from the outside to help Scott Walker. We had boots on the ground. And we're going to continue to have boots on the ground.
It was a setback, but we were worn in Wisconsin, AFSCME, 75 years ago, because of patronage and because of disrespect that was shown to state workers.
We were there 75 years ago. We're there today. And we're going to be there tomorrow. And we have just got to organize like never before. Our folks are excited. And they are frustrated, but they're excited because they understand the importance of this election in November.
If you heard what was said in that Republican Convention last week, they were attacking labor. They were attacking working families. They were attacking the middle class. We have got to coalesce around with our allies. And we have got to fight back.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Jim Hoffa, what about that, the Wisconsin situation, where the governor went out of his way to go after organized labor, collective bargaining rights, and yet he prevailed?
JAMES HOFFA: Well, we had a tremendous support. Lee and I were there. We were all in Wisconsin. In Madison, there were hundreds of thousands of people supporting that. So, there's a core there, basically, that we can work on. We think we're going to win that state for Barack Obama.
But you're right. It was a setback with regard to Scott Walker. And Scott Walker really signifies the worst part of what we're seeing right now. The complete Republican Party has veered to the right. And you can see it in their platform talking about national right-to-work.
This wasn't true even four years ago, people getting up and basically beating their chest about how they beat unions, whether it's in New Jersey, Ohio, or Wisconsin. We have never seen that before. I mean, the rhetoric was so shrill coming out of that campaign that there's no idea — there is a war on workers. And they are coming after us. And it's going to mobilize our members.
Our members feel that what's going on right now is, they're out to take us out. And they have said that. And they have unlimited money. They're coming after us. And it's going to mobilize our members to make sure we win this November.
GWEN IFILL: Except that here in — you're here in Charlotte because you support this Democratic president. You believe he should be reelected, yet the unions are spending a lot less money this year on Democratic campaigns and a lot less on this convention.
How do you square those two things, when you know that — if you feel that you are under attack by Republicans?
MARY KAY HENRY: Well, we have more members contributing to political action than ever before in our unions' history. And I think together we're all spending as much as we have in past elections because we think our future is at stake. The economic well-being of all working people is at stake in this election.
And so as Jim and Lee have said, we're going to put unprecedented numbers of workers on the ground to reach out to union members, their families, their neighbors.
We're reaching out in Latino and African-American communities especially because the Republicans want to suppress that vote in ways. And we're not going to have it. We're going to make sure that we win in November for the champion for working people, President Barack Obama.
GWEN IFILL: Lee Saunders, how do you justify that? Do you just dispute that less money is being spent?
LEE SAUNDERS: No, I think that we're all engaged. Every single union is engaged.
And you have got to take Charlotte out of the picture, out of the equation.
GWEN IFILL: Why?
LEE SAUNDERS: It's over. As Jim said, it's over.
This is a convention. After the convention, we're going to be working every single day, knocking on doors, making those phone calls, not only within union households, but we're going to be talking with communities and talking to our coalition partners. We're going to be spending resources, but we're going to have more people and more boots on the ground.
The AFL-CIO is going to have 400,000 people, activists on the ground. AFSCME is Increasing its number from 40,000 to 80,000. The Teamsters are doing the same thing. SEIU is doing the same thing. Our engagement is greater this year, and it's going to grow like never before.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But what about the larger argument? I want to ask all three of you.
I will direct it to you, Jim Hoffa.
The larger argument that, in these tight economic times, the public has the right to expect employees of organized labor to take the same cuts that the private sector has taken? That was one of the arguments made in Wisconsin, made in Ohio and make in other states.
JAMES HOFFA: But it wasn't really true in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, there was a small deficit, and the unions were willing to sit down and make that up. And he said, I'm not interested in that.
Scott Walker began by talking about the fact, he said, well, there's a deficit. We have to get rid of collective bargaining. But that really wasn't in it. So when they called his bluff and said we will sit down and negotiate with you right now, that isn't what they did. And then he says, no, I'm not interested in negotiating with you. I want to take out collective bargaining.
The real reason is, they realized the backbone of the Democratic Party, the people that oppose them, is organized labor. We're the ones that have the boots on the ground. We have money. We have organization. And they have really got to take us out. Whether — it's not about the budget. It's not about pensions.
Whether it's in Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Indiana, it's all the same thing. We are targeted because we are the backbone of the progressive movement in this country.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Mary Kay Henry, an extension of that same question. The public often looks at union members and says, wait a minute. Why can't they — especially public service employees, why can't they accept some of the same cuts that private sector workers have had to…
MARY KAY HENRY: Well, I think more and more members of the public are saying public service workers are the last remaining middle-class jobs in our community.
And that's why tens of thousands of people poured into the Madison Rotunda in and said, wait a second. We're not going to allow this governor to strip away the middle-class standard of living that we have achieved in this state. And we agree that we need to do is reach out to private-sector workers and lift their wages up.
And tax policy has to change that. Workers being able to freely form unions has to change that. And investing in a public education system where everybody has an equal opportunity is the way that we can get the middle class growing again.
GWEN IFILL: Lee Saunders, if I can ask you to answer Judy's question, but also, how do you justify to your members who are feeling anxiety, like so many Americans, that the economy is not doing well that they should stay on the same horse?
LEE SAUNDERS: Well, let me say this. When we have had to sacrifice, we have sacrificed.
But we cannot accept the total burden. And that's what's happening right now. Jimmy was right. They are coming after us because we are organized. We have power. We have strength.
This is a pure power play. Make no mistake about it.
The top 1 percent in this country want to have more power. They want to have more wealth. And they want to do it at the expense of the 99 percent who are trying to play by the rules every single day. Those are the folks that we have got to mobilize and organize for this election.
GWEN IFILL: But it's the 99 percent who are suffering under the current status quo.
LEE SAUNDERS: The 99 percent is suffering because of the policies of George Bush and because of the policies that John Boehner and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to push forward. And that's what we have got to stop.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Lee Saunders…
MARY KAY HENRY: And I think that the 99 percent see that the president saved the auto industry, that DREAM Act students are going to have a chance not to be deported in order to finish college, that more jobs are being created under this administration than before. It's — there is progress.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Mary Kay Henry, Lee Saunders, Jim Hoffa, we thank you, all three. Appreciate it.

POLICE and Army cadets are raising awareness of the dangers of swimming in open water after the death of an East Lancashire teenager this summer.
Police Cadets and the Army Outreach programme in Burnley are going out and about to warn people of the dangers of cooling off in open water sites.
In June, 17-year-old James Goodship, from Colne, died after getting into trouble on a makeshift raft on Lake Burwain in Foulridge.
Police have also been called to other sites in the area after reports that teenagers were in open water while East Lancashire bathed in sunshine during July.
The cadets, supported by Lancashire Fire and Rescue officers, went out for the first time on Tuesday.
They visited open water sites in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale to speak to people in the area and warn of the dangers when people bathe or swim in the water.
On Sunday, August 24, they will be going out for a second time.
Travelling around in military vehicles, the cadets and outreach staff will be visiting Foulridge Reservoir and the canal towpath at Café Cargo, Barrowford Locks, Pendle Heritage Centre and Caldwell Reservoir, distributing leaflets and giving safety advice.
The death of former Park High School student James was discussed in the House of Commons, when Prime Minister David Cameron called it 'absolutely heartbreaking'.
Anyone with information or concerns about water safety can contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always dial 999.

K.B. and friends release volume four
Guardian Lifestyles Editor
Published: May 17, 2013
He's the artist that gave the country cult hits like "Just Cause She Fat", "All the Meat", "She Jump", "Please, Please, Please", "Civil Servant" and "Bush Mechanic" – songs that are so distinctive, he could not hide from them if he tried. With his newest album – "K.B. and Friends Vol. 4" – Kirkland 'K.B.' Bodie introduces his fans to another side of his artistry.
From a ballad to reggae, Junkanoo, rake n' scrape, soca to a little hip-hop, "K.B. and Friends Vol. 4" offers something for everyone – including music from Bahamian legends like Wilfred Solomon, Colyn McDonald and the late T'Rez Hepburn to some of the newest artist to hit the scene.
The 13-song compilation, which was released in late April, opens with K.B. himself singing a catchy tune called "Stay With Me Forever (Be Mine) before the legendary Wilfred Solomon holds down the fort in true classic rake n' scrape style with "When I Pass (Dey Laugh)". Solomon is known for his days with The Magnetics and their hit classics like "Talkin' Fool" and "Andros Island is Big and Long".
Solomon is followed by Colyn McDonald of Visage fame who sings "Duck Down Low" before K.B. takes control off the album again, with a ballad with a reggae flair to it — "If Love Must Go". Hepburn follows with "Shake It Up (Lemme See U Shake)".
Bazie also offers a classic rake n' scrape offering with "Cause Da Music Sweet" that will have people definitely shaking their legs with his sweet offering.
Also on the album is Papa Smurf, who sings "Hopin' To See U (When the World Ends) featuring K.B. And if you don't know Jitana, Lady Sho and Creamo, you will know them by the end of the album. Jitana sings "U Don't Know Me". Lady Sho tells people to "Work Ya Waist and Wind" while Creamo sings "Creamo Come Back Home."
K.B.'s band Stinkin' Wayz which won the local leg of the Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) competition and competed in London also has an offering on the album, "I Never Cry", while the New Entry Band out of Abaco sings "Excited".
The final song on the album pays homage to the country's Christian roots with K.B. himself belting out "Bridge Ova' Troubled Water" with a K.B. twist of course as he took you to church — the Jumper church that is, which was a fitting rounding out to the compilation.
The album is definitely a mixture of genres.
"We wanted the album to be younger, but I wanted to get with everyone and do something different that would attract all generations," said K.B. of his new release. Of his switch from his usual upbeat soca and rake n' scrape sounds, he said the music he would normally do that sounded like his former hits like "Bush Mechanic" or Civil Servant" he gave to other artists to perform, as he opted for a more "adult" sound.
Since its release "K.B. and Friends Vol. 4" has been getting excellent rotation on the airwaves and is available in all record stores and Internet music sites.
"It's a great album and I like the response we're getting. The people are feeling it," he said.

A damning parliamentary report on Australia's $130 billion defence purchasing plan has called for a sweeping management overhaul, warning the mistakes made with the troubled Collins class submarines could be repeated with Australia's ambitious future submarine project.
In the fifth report critical of defence equipment purchasing since 2003, the Senate foreign affairs and defence committee has made 21 recommendations for improving accountability, planning and oversight and downsizing the government purchaser – the 7000-strong Defence Materiel Organisation.
It says the DMO and the Defence Department lack "a robust risk management regime'', "personnel are unresponsive to risk'' and the enterprise "seems incapable of learning from past mistakes''.
On Australia's next flagship project, the plan to assemble 12 submarines in Adelaide at a cost of up to $36 billion, the report says defence is "at risk of repeating the same cycle of blind hope''.
"The tardy start to upfront investment, the prescriptive nature of the project's inclusion in the [government's defence] white paper and the short timeframe in which to acquire requisite skills do not bode well for the project,'' the report says.
Committee chair Labor senator Mark Bishop said there was "significant cross-party support for radical reform'' of the DMO and Defence.
Senator Bishop said without an overhaul, serious delays in weapons projects would continue.
"The organisational structure must be streamlined and simplified . . . so the service chiefs are totally responsible for the procurement and maintenance of high cost and complex equipment after government approval,'' Senator Bishop said.
Coalition senator David Fawcett said Defence governance was "dysfunctional'', and there was a disconnect between providing equipment on the basis of what the Australian Defence Force should have rather than what Australia needed it to do.
Independent senator
The government is considering four options for the new submarines, including buying off the shelf, modified off the shelf, an evolved Collins or a completely new design. Cost estimates vary from about $12 billion for the first option to $36 billion for the last.

NEW YORK (Oct. 20)
Attorneys for some of 17 defendants including four Israelis charged here with conspiracy to illegally sell American weapons to Iran have made motions to dismiss the charges on grounds of entrapment, lack of jurisdiction for the case in New York and prejudicial pretrial publicity.
A hearing on the motion before a federal judge in the Manhattan U.S. District Court was scheduled to begin late Monday. After hearing from the defense and prosecution, the court will decide whether to dismiss the charges.
An affidavit filed late month in support of this motion by Paul Grand, one of the attorneys representing Sam Evans who is the alleged middleman in the conspiracy, contends that high-ranking Administration, State Department and Pentagon officials considered and eventually approved covert arms sales of American military hardware to Iran, using some of the defendants as agents.
Grand also alleges that U.S. Customs agents and a government informant in the case pressured the defendants to use illegal means to obtain the weapons for Iran, while the defendants insisted on using legal means.
Grand's affidavit, based on some 200 tapes the government recorded with the help of the informant and numerous interviews with defendants in the case, claims that Vice President George Bush, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, Marine Corps commandant Gen. P.X. Kelley and unnamed State Department and Pentagon officials were in contact directly with several of the defendants and were involved in an active debate over changing U.S. government policy to begin covert arms sales to Iran on a quiet level.
Grand and other defense attorneys received access to copies of the government tapes as part of the discovery process in criminal cases. In his affidavit, Grand quotes from taped conversations between the defendants and the government informant in which the defendants say they met with Bush's aides in West Germany to discuss an arms deal with the Iranians and that Bush had given "the green light."
The affidavit also cites press reports in which an unnamed White House official acknowledged "a secret tilt toward Iran after six years of mutual hostility," within the Reagan Administration. This official reportedly stated the U.S. hopes to solidify relations with "reasonable" leaders in Teheran and "regularize" the arms flow from the U.S. directly to Iran instead of going through middlemen, one of which was identified as Israel.
The weapons allegedly under negotiation included F-4 and F-5 fighter jets, C-130 transport planes, thousands of TOW missiles, Hawk missiles, Sidewinders, Sparrow guided missiles and Skyhawk aircraft.
According to the indictment, the weapons were already in the possession of Israel and three unnamed countries and the defendants were conspiring to resell the arms without obtaining the proper licenses for resale from the State Department. The State Department is the ultimate authority for approving foreign military aid.
Under the U.S. ban imposed on selling American arms to Iran, those licenses called end user certificates could not be obtained legally. Both the Israeli defendants and their attorneys claim the Israeli government was aware of the alleged negotiations. Since 1979, a number of reports of Israeli sales of American-made spare parts and weapons have surfaced in the press. Israel has steadfastly denied the allegations and press reports.
American government officials responded to the allegations in the affidavit with consistently firm denials of any involvement of U.S. officials or government agencies in approving the covert sale of American weapons to Iran.
The indictment issued in April charged 17 defendants with 51 counts of conspiracy to resell some $2.5 billion of American weapons earmarked for Israel and three other unspecified countries to Iran. Other charges included mail and wire fraud.
Three Israelis and one American resident of Israel are among the 17 defendants charged in the conspiracy. The four are out on bond a waiting their trial scheduled for late November in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
The case broke with the arrest of Evans, an American, and the four Israelis upon their arrival in Bermuda on April 29. They believed they were going to sign the contracts for the arms deal.
But in cooperation with the U.S. government, the Bermudian government had placed the five on a Stop List and upon their arrival they were arrested for illegal entry. One month later, the Bermudian government extradited the five to the U.S.
The U.S. Customs Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Justice Department built their case on what Grand's affidavit claims was an elaborate sting operation conducted with the cooperation of a former Iranian arms procurement agent, Cyrus Hashemi, who was indicted in the U.S. in 1984 for selling American-made weapons to Iran.
Hashemi, who posed as an arms buyer for the Iranian government, agreed to record various meetings and phone conversations with the defendants as part of a cooperation agreement made with the government in which he would not stand trial immediately for 1984 indictment.
Hashemi, the government's key witness, died of acute leukemia in a London hospital in July After an official investigation into the cause of death, the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan concluded that Hashemi died of "apparently natural circumstances," indicating that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death between the indictment and the trial.
The government's case now relies almost entirely on some 200 tapes of phone conversations and meetings between Hashemi and the defendants.
Grand used excerpts from the tapes in his affidavit to show that Hashemi attempted at every step of the negotiations to encourage the defendants to obtain American arms illegally. The excerpts show that the defendants insisted on exhausting all the legal channels for obtaining the arms with legitimate American approval. The excerpts also show that the defendants were convinced that U.S. officials were going to give that approval.
In the tapes, Hashemi also turned down several of the defendants' offers to sell Iran non-American weaponry, including French Mirage jets.

Although diffuse alveolar hemorrhage complicating warfarin therapy is rare, it generally has a worsening clinical course and can be a life threatening condition. A 56-year-old male who had undergone a pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer 2 years before had received warfarin for about 5 months due to pulmonary vein thrombosis. The patient presented with severe dyspnea and had prolonged anticoagulation values. Chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed diffuse pulmonary consolidations, and bronchoalveolar lavage demonstrated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. The reversal of anticoagulation was initiated, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed for refractory respiratory failure that did not improve despite maximal mechanical ventilatory support. The diffuse alveolar infiltrations resolved after 5 days, and we successfully weaned off both extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical ventilation. Herein we report the detailed course of a case that was successfully treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge-to-recovery for warfarin- exacerbated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) refers to a clinical syndrome, resulting from extensive bleeding in the acinar portion of the lung [1]. It often presents with clinical features of hemoptysis, anemia, diffuse radiographic alveolar consolidation, and acute respiratory failure [1]. It is caused by diseases that damage the alveolar capillary barrier or by disorders of coagulation. These underlying diseases include: lung infections, pulmonary embolism, Wegener's granulomatosis, Goodpasture's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and Behçet's syndrome [2]. Only a few reports have mentioned the manifestation of alveolar hemorrhage in patients receiving anticoagulants, such as warfarin and heparin [3]. Furthermore, DAH complicating warfarin therapy is associated with a high mortality rate [4].
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be considered in patients with life-threatening acute respiratory failure, such as severe hypoxemia, uncompensated hypercapnia and the occurrence of excessively high end-inspiratory plateau pressures, despite adequate management with a mechanical ventilator [5]. However, to our knowledge, ECMO applied to patients with fatal DAH has not been reported in the literature.
We report a case of successful application of ECMO as a bridge-to-recovery therapy in a patient with fatal warfarin-exacerbated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
A 56-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with aggravated dyspnea over the previous 24 hours. He had a past medical history of right upper lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma two years before. The pathologic stage was T3N1Mo (TNM stage IIIA), and adjuvant chemotherapy with vinca alkaloid (vinorelbine) had been followed postoperatively. However, newly-developed brain metastasis and metastatic nodules in the superior segment of the right lower lobe, had been diagnosed six months after the lung resection. He had undergone a whole brain radiation therapy and concurrent palliative chemotherapy with variable sequential regimens (pemetrexed, erlotinib, gemcitabine/cisplatin, and docetaxel) till six months before the re-admission. During the subsequent follow up the patient had shown a stable clinical course.
The patient was incidentally detected with right superior pulmonary vein thrombosis on follow up chest computed tomography, five months before the re-admission, and complained intermittent right arm swelling at this time. For the pulmonary vein thrombosis, he had been taking 2.0 mg to 2.5 mg of warfarin for five months. Prothrombin times (International Normalized Ratio, INR) had been usually controlled within 1.8 to 3.3 (INR target range: around 2.0), and he had not been prescribed other drugs that affect vitamin K metabolism during the previous six months. At the initial physical examination, the patient was looking very acutely-ill and markedly dyspneic. He did not present other respiratory symptoms like cough and hemoptysis. His vital signs were as follows: blood pressure 130/80 mmHg, pulse rate 115 beats/min, respiratory rate 40/min and body temperature 36.1°C. Auscultation revealed diffuse inspiratory crackles over both lungs. Results of laboratory investigations are shown in Table 1. There was no evidence of renal or hepatic dysfunction or autoimmune diseases. Any infection, heart failure, and platelet dysfunction were not suspect from the laboratory findings.
A chest X-ray revealed increased bilateral pulmonary infiltrations, and chest computed tomography showed newly developed extensive ground-glass attenuations with crazy-paving appearance on whole lung fields (Figure 1). Ceftriaxone (2.0 g, once daily) and levofloxacin (750 mg, once daily) were empirically administered to prevent pneumonia. Warfarin was discontinued, and 10 mg vitamin K and 10 fresh frozen plasmas were administered intravenously. The deranged INR and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were corrected to 1.43 and 33 seconds respectively on the following day.
Since the patient's oxygenation was not improved, despite maximum oxygen therapy through facial mask, endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation had to be started. Bloody secretions through the endotracheal tube were observed, and a flexible bronchoscopy was performed. Fresh blood on the whole bronchial system was observed, without any other endobronchial lesions (Figure 2). The bronchoscope was wedged into sub-segmental bronchi, and we confirmed the diagnosis of DAH by finding bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to become progressively more hemorrhagic. A cytopathological analysis with iron stains was not performed in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. All cultures of sputum, BAL fluid and blood did not reveal any causative pathogens. The patient showed pure DAH confined to the lungs, and there was no evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation or hemorrhagic events occurring elsewhere in the body.
In spite of maximal ventilatory supports (pressure control mode, a pressure support of 20 mmHg, at a rate of 20 breath/min, PEEP of 14 cmH2O and a FiO2 of 1.0), the patient remained severely hypoxemic (pH 7.36, PaCO2 42.3 mmHg, PaO2 48.4 mmHg and SaO2 79.3%). Since the patient had very small safety margin in the remaining lung parenchyma, we decided to perform ECMO, instead of prone position, nitric oxide inhalation, and recruit maneuver.
A veno-venous type ECMO (EBS, Capiox® Emergency Bypass System, Terumo Inc., Tokyo, Japan) was applied to the patient on the day of hospitalization, with a 21-Fr drainage cannula from the left femoral vein and a 17-Fr return cannula into the right internal jugular vein (Figure 3A). ECMO was instituted without heparinization due to risk of alveolar hemorrhage. During ECMO, INR and aPTT of the patient were maintained within 1.25 to 1.43 and 21 to 33 seconds, respectively. Mechanical ventilatory care was minimally maintained (pressure control mode, a pressure support of 10 mmHg, at a rate of 10 breaths/min, a positive end-expiratory pressure of 10 cmH2O, and a FiO2 of 0.3) for lung protective strategy. Arterial blood gas analysis showed improved oxygenation and undisturbed gas exchange (Table 2), one hour after the application of ECMO. On day 5 after ECMO application, chest radiography showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrations were resolving (Figure 3B), and the oxygenation was improved, thus ECMO was removed. The duration of ECMO was 126 hours, and there was no complication associated with the procedure. An exchange of the oxygenator membrane was not needed, even though we did not use heparin. We performed extubation without tracheostomy 3 days after ECMO removal. the patient was discharged 42 days after the extubation and remained free from respiratory symptoms. We did not prescribe warfarin due to the concern of recurrent fatal DAH and the absence of symptoms of pulmonary or peripheral venous thrombosis. The patient has been controlled recently and is doing well.
DAH is the result of the accumulation of intra-alveolar red blood cells originating from the alveolar capillaries [1]. Generally, DAH may develop in several pathologic conditions, including various vasculitis, autoimmune diseases, acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, and potentially any pneumorenal syndrome. Uncommonly, drugs, such as inhaled cocaine, diphenyl-hydantoin, sirolimus, leflunomide, and everolimus, can also lead to DAH [6].
Warfarin (Coumadin) is a frequently prescribed oral anticoagulant inhibiting vitamin K utilization by the liver cells. Systemic bleeding events can occur in any organ or tissue, including the brain, and gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts. However, the rate of alveolar hemorrhage in patients taking anticoagulant therapy is low and forms a minor part of bleeding complications [7-9]. DAH is a rare complication of warfarin therapy. DAH occurs rarely with high dose taken by children and young adults for suicide [10]. Since the first case of DAH caused by warfarin intoxication reported by Brown et al.[11] in 1965, few other reports have been described in the literature [12]. Warfarin-induced DAH is usually severe and can be lethal [4]. In the future, the incidence of anticoagulants-induced DAH may increase because of the growth of elderly population, who need anticoagulants due to conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular diseases, and valvular heart diseases. Furthermore, the new anticoagulants, such as abciximab and epifibatide, are more potent, and DAH induced by these drugs has recently been recently reported [13,14].
Our patient had abruptly increased INR, PT and aPTT. Although we investigated other concomitant drugs, trauma, or infections, we could not find the etiology of the suddenly prolonged anticoagulation. We did not examine the genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P-450 enzyme 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), which can affect the management of warfarin therapy. CYP2C9 is a key enzyme in the hepatic metabolism of warfarin. On the other hand, VKORC1 has a role in maintaining sufficient vitamin K levels when dietary vitamin K is limited, and the VKORC1 homozygous mutation affects the high response to warfarin [15].
We would highlight two points from this case. Firstly, it is very important to confirm an early diagnosis in clinically suspected patients with DAH, because it can be lethal due to anemia and respiratory failure. BAL is the gold standard for the diagnosis, and progressively hemorrhagic BAL finding in serial samples or positive iron studies of BAL will confirm the diagnosis [1]. However, a careful approach is needed because bronchoscopy itself can cause massive pulmonary bleeding. Secondly, as DAH complicating warfarin therapy is associated with a high mortality rate, prompt therapy should be initiated. A cornerstone of the treatment was reversal of the anticoagulation. It is life-saving to reverse anticoagulation by giving vitamin K and fresh frozen plasma early. The other principle of treatment is to maintain the patient's oxygenation through aggressive treatment, via mechanical ventilation or ECMO when needed. We decided to start ECMO as a bridge-to-recovery or rescue therapy to maintain oxygenation, and ECMO was instrumental in saving patient's life. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of ECMO applied to patients with warfarin-induced DAH.
ECMO is an extracorporeal circuit that directly oxygenates the red blood cells and removes carbon dioxide from the blood. In patients with respiratory failure, while the results of the previous clinical trials did not show any survival benefit using ECMO or extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal [16,17], the recent CESAR study (Conventional Ventilation or ECMO for Severe Adult Respiratory Failure) using modern ECMO technology reported favorable outcomes [18]. Nowadays, ECMO is considered a bridge-to-recovery therapy in patients with profound gas-exchange abnormalities despite mechanical ventilation. As results of clinical studies and experiences were accumulating the indications for ECMO application have been increased.
During ECMO, there is continuous contact between the circulating blood and the foreign surface of the circuit [19]. The hemostatic balance is shifted to hypercoagulability with patients and extracorporeal circuits and components at risk for thrombosis. In order to regain the loss of hemostatic balance and prevent thrombosis, administration of antithrombotic drug, such as heparin, is necessary [20]. Unfortunately, the use of heparin can result in bleeding in the systemic circulation and despite its use, clotting in the extracorporeal circuit. The bleeding and thrombosis that occur regularly during the course of ECMO can ultimately result in significant clinical complications. Surgical site bleeding, the most common source of bleeding, is reported in 6-32% of ECMO patients with the highest incidence occurring in patients who have had recent cardiac surgery [21]. Intracranial hemorrhage, the most potentially devastating bleeding complication occurs in 3-6% of patients. Hypoxemia, acidosis, and cardiovascular instability prior to initiation of ECMO, and coagulopathy all increase the risk for intracranial hemorrhage [22]. Many unanswered questions exist concerning therapies to maintain the hemostatic balance during ECMO, including the optimal combination, duration and dosage of antithrombotic agents needed to limit bleeding and thrombotic complications.
Our practice is to use venovenous type ECMO for adult patients with respiratory failure. An echocardiogram prior to ECMO should be performed to confirm ventricular function is preserved. Heparin is infused to maintain an activated clotting time (ACT) of 140–160 seconds for venovenous ECMO and 180–210 seconds for venoarterial ECMO. We do not use any anticoagulants with our patient because heparin should promote the alveolar hemorrhage, and the thrombotic complications would be less serious venovenous ECMO than in venoarterial ECMO. Otherwise, venovenous ECMO can lead to significant alveolar hemorrhage or worsening of pre-existing alveolar hemorrhage. This could be related to ECMO flow directly into the right heart and pulmonary artery with shear forces disrupting the capillary bed, and observed by pulmonary arterial cannulation. If hypoxemia could not be improved and right heart failure aggravated despite venovenous ECMO, additional cannulation for venous drainage should be performed or conversion to venoarterial ECMO should be mandatory.
In practice, patients undergoing ECMO generally are subjected to early tracheostomy because of the need for prolonged management of underlying lung diseases. However, we did not perform tracheostomy, considering the high reversibility of DAH, and the patient had a favorable outcome. In patients with ECMO, tracheostomy should be selectively performed after considering the rapid reversibility of the underlying lung disease.
Although warfarin-exacerbated DAH is rare, it can lead to potentially fatal respiratory failure. If a patient with warfarinization shows over-anticoagulation, prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment for DAH should be performed considering a possible warfarin-exacerbated hemorrhage.

The latest survey of Iowa sawmills was conducted during 2005. At this time Iowa had 29 sawmills that produced 16 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood compared to 17.6 million cubic feet in 2000; a 9 percent decrease in production. Industrial roundwood products are saw logs, pulpwood, veneer logs, poles, commercial posts, pilings, cooperage logs, particleboard bolts, shaving bolts, lath bolts, charcoal bolts, and chips. All roundwood in Iowa is from hardwood species only, there are no markets close enough for the small amount of softwood volume that is growing in Iowa.
85 MBF of sawlogs were removed throughout Iowa, with over half of the volume coming from NE Iowa. Down slightly (4%) from 89 MBF in 2000. Soft maple led the species list followed by elm and hickory for volume with 16.6 MBF, up from 15 MBF in 2000 in the sawlog category. The species with the greatest decrease in demand between 2000-2005 were the red oak (down 26%) and white oak (down 17%) species groups.
Looking at Iowa as 4 quadrants shows how different the timber markets are within the state. The top 3 species harvested in the northeast region were red oak, white oak and black walnut. These 3 species represented 54% of the volume removed in 2005. In the NW region soft maple, cottonwood and ash were the top 3 species harvested. In the SE region soft maple, white oak and red oak were the order for the top 3 species harvested. Cottonwood, black walnut and red oak were the top 3 species for the SW region. By looking within each region, there are different available forest types and markets that influence sawmill production.
The most valuable species, black walnut, was harvested the most (2005) by volume in Clayton county followed by Allamakee and Jackson. Jefferson county had the most volume of soft maple harvested followed by Keokuk and Iowa.
Iowa forest landowners were paid $20 million for their trees in 2005. Consolidation of the sawmill industry as a result of technological efficiencies along with aging equipment and workforce has decreased the number of sawmills in Iowa. The number of portable sawmills is hard to track, but we do know there are at least 47.
The amount of veneer logs produced by sawmills in Iowa increased from 3.6 million board feet in 2000 to 5.1 million board feet in 2005, an increase of 40%. Black walnut accounted for 2,753 million board feet followed by white oak species with 1,692 million board feet of veneer produced.
In 2005 harvesting left 11.4 million cubic feet of residue on the ground after the logs were removed. About 33% of the material was oak species & 24% was from silver maple. At the sawmills 120 thousand tons of green waste were produced after cutting logs into various wood products. Miscellaneous uses like livestock bedding, mulch and small dimensional lumber used 83% of a sawmills waste. About 15% of the waste was burned for fuel.
Overall the wood industry is composed of 186 businesses in Iowa that created a economic value of $1.5 billion, up 36% from 1997 levels, according to the 2002 Economic Census of Iowa. The annual payroll for these businesses was $386 million for 10,964 employees. The payroll was up 32% and enrollment was up 72% between 1997 to 2002. So, even though the number of companies within the industry is shrinking the workforce is growing and receiving an increase in their salary.

MORAN — It was the autumn of 1943 and this community needed a distraction from a war that was raging on every continent with no end in sight. And, what with the entire town's involvement and with reminders on every street corner, such distractions were hard to come by.
A large poster in front of the post office had a drawing of Uncle Sam saying "I Need YOU!," and every downtown store and shop had posters in their windows urging one and all to Buy War Bonds, participate in scrap metal drives and to volunteer as airplane spotters.
In Miss Baughman's class, the spirituals she loved to play and sing were interspaced with patriotic songs. Every school day began with the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem.
A dartboard I got for my birthday had as its targets caricatures of Tojo, Hitler and Mussolini.
Patriotism loomed heavily over the town of Moran where its every able-bodied son had answered the call. Two of its best female teachers, Matabelle Downing and Hester Smith, put down their grade books and joined the Waves.
That's the way it was in '43 — except for Friday afternoons.
JAMES "BUSTER" Cottle, a modest but robust high school senior, was my very first football hero. He also was my older brother's very best friend.
It was he who was the primary reason that the Moran Bulldogs were the top football team in the area, ripping through its schedule of opponents which included Albany, their most detested rival.
The Bulldogs, as did all high school teams in those days when lighted football fields were still several years in the future, played on Friday afternoons. Schools let out, stores closed and farmers left their cotton harvesting when Moran High was playing at home.
And they were never disappointed.
Buster saw to that.
In a day when jersey numbers were assigned not by position but by what size the player wore, Buster's uniform sported a large 98. I can see it yet ...
Buster was a true triple-threat, a prototype of the fictional football star Frank Merriwell, who ran over and around defenders, passed, punted, place kicked and, from his defensive position, was a bruising tackler.
FOR REASONS I don't remember — if I ever even knew — Buster eschewed college offers to stay home and help with his dad's Texaco distributorship. Perhaps it was partially because his dad — who also was Moran's postmaster — needed his help. Equally likely was a draft notice that was imminent.
The distributorship business was booming even though gasoline was rationed. Two of the town's seven service stations handled Texaco products and, even more taxing, all farm equipment in those days ran on gasoline.
Ray, my best boyhood pal, and I would watch for Buster to begin filling the tank truck, which told us he was about to make a rural run. We would run and jump into the cab beside him, scuffling over who got to sit in the middle. That wasn't because we wanted to sit beside Buster but because whoever had the window seat had to open the gates.
And few tasks were more challenging for a kid of our ages than a Shackelford County wire gate. Only fiddle strings were strung tighter.
Buster's unwavering patience was tested by our keeping the scuffling going even as he drove down the road. More than once he threatened to put us out and make us walk back to town.
A man with a penchant for practical jokes, his threats had a way of becoming fulfilled.
Once — I think it was en route to Dick Ames's ranch — there was a gate that required both of us to open and close. And, as soon as we got it opened, he sped on through without stopping, leaving us with a choice of walking a mile down to the barrels he was filling or wait for him to come back.
Ray walked on; I waited.
It would be years later before I realized what pests we must have been.
BUSTER'S DRAFT notice came in the summer of '45 and he evidently soldiered the same way he had played football. Assigned to doing "mop-up" duty in the South Pacific, he returned with a plethora of ribbons across his chest.
I remember asking him what they were for, and he replied:
"I got them for behaving myself. You boys should try it!"
Buster married his high school sweetheart, Julie Thomas, and the two of them, after a short stay in Denver City in the middle 1950s, returned home where they became very significant citizens.
For a couple or three years, Moran hosted the "National Fajita Cook Off," which attracted hundreds to its small confines. The Cottles were concerned about the town's appearance — vacant houses, dilapidated buildings, abandoned cars and a variety of debris — so they organized a citywide cleanup.
That worked so well that it became an annual tradition. It was named "Moran Clean and Proud," and Buster and Julie never stopped heading it up. The fajita cook off died a rather sudden death but the annual clean-up lived on.
WHEN RAY AND I had become reunited in Lubbock, where he was a state administrative judge, we — along with our mutual friend Morris — went to Moran. That was in the late '90s and was the first time we had been "back home" together in almost a half-century.
When we walked into the town's lone remaining café, the first person we saw was Buster. He looked up, spotted us and, removing his pipe from his mouth, uttered: "My gawd! Are ya'll back already?"
Moran today bears little resemblance to the town of '43. It has about one-fifth the population and, instead of seven service stations, there is none. The Bulldogs play six-man football and are struggling at that.
Last week its fading vibrancy took another serious hit.
On a brisk wintry morning, Buster was laid to rest.
Requiem for a small town ... for a way of life ... took another step closer.

Prince Harry's 'Naked Vegas Party Pal' Carrie Reichert Writing a Tell-All Book (EXCLUSIVE) (VIDEO)
The blonde woman who partied with Prince Harry during the royal's wild night in Las Vegas in August is writing a tell-all book about her experience –complete with never-before-seen photographs, a source close to British-born Carrie Reichert has revealed to Celebuzz.
Despite the fact the former beautician from San Diego, Calif. has already told her "drunken fumble" story to a British tabloid, the source promised the book would be "steamy" and a no-holds-barred account of her 20 minutes alone with the prince in his hotel bedroom.
"Carrie's journal is being turned into a book and it will answer the question once and for all: did she have sex with the prince," the insider said.
"The book will blow the lid off exactly what happened."
It is not known if Reichert, who says she is 32 but according to police records is 40, has secured a publisher for the memoir.
Reichert is the only girl to come forward to explain what happened on the now-infamous night when Harry, 27, was photographed canoodling naked with a girl after a game of "strip billiards."
She told British tabloid The People: "We kissed, he was naked at the time and pretty open. It was a drunken fumble. It wasn't romantic, just fun. He was a gentleman, but he was so wasted. The alcohol affected him. I was there for 15 to 20 minutes."
She has since told the Daily Mail that she blames the British Secret Service for her arrest – more claims will be discussed in the book, according to the source.
"Carrie has an interesting story to tell," the friend said.
It is understood that the as-yet untitled book will also contain never-before-released images from the now-infamous night at The Wynn Encore, three months ago.

The E report
by, 10-12-2011 at 08:47 AM (3630 Views)
So I have been in this forum for a while now I normally post comments and read blogs (must shout out some great bloggers Knox, The Crippler, Rick Starr I know I have forgotten some but will give them a shout out next time). I have decided to write a blog and see if I garner any feedback. It's my first blog and I am going to talk about some of the things that have been going on in the WWE.
Mark Henry vs Big Show:
I hope that the WWE doesn't give the win to Show at Vengeance this would destroy Mark's best and fantastic run as the dominant heel. I never liked Henry but in the couple of months I have really enjoyed his character and the Hall of pain gimmick is a nice touch. I don't believe it will hurt Big Show if he looses and would strengthen Mark as credible heel champion (I can't remember the last time their was a credible heel champion willing to take on wrestlers). I believe that Mark should have a lengthy reign as champion.
Sin Cara vs Sin Cara:
I liked Cara when he now debuted I knew he botched alot but I didn't care I really liked the new moves and I thought he would improve. Boy was I wrong I don't have much confidence in him anymore and he still botches alot. The 2 Caras is an interesting stotyline if promoted correctly but as we know this is not the case and that match at HIAC was average but the crowd was so detached. If you don't win the crowd then pack your bags and go home.
Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton:
I hope this match happens at Vengeance both are extremely good athletes and they could steal the show imo. Cody has really evolved and is doing what he says bringing back prestige to the IC title i just hope he goes over if they face out at Vengeance. Orton being out of the World title pic can give others a chance to shine and his feud with Rhodes will keep both guys relevant. Cody is a future world champion if you disagree please give reasons below in the comment section would love to see your point of view.
ADR as WWE champion:
I know I might get heat for this but I think he doesn't deserve the honor there are better guys Dolph Ziggler who are better suited to hold that championship at present. ADR has been in WWE about 1 year and is already champion i just don't get it.
Well folks that's it for The E Report I hope you enjoyed it. Thoughts, suggestions and comments are welcomed

The refs overturning that out of bounds call was outrageous. Fun game to watch, I loved that crowd.

The refs overturning that out of bounds call was outrageous. Fun game to watch, I loved that crowd.
Indy has the Colts, Hoosiers, Boilers, and Bulldogs to root for as well.
Ouch. Poor Dallas.
That was just sad.
This series is going to 7
I just think that if Dirk is just best player you don't have a chance to win a championship.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
By that logic, Portland's got Oregon and Oregon State to root for. Oklahoma City's got Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to root for. They're not the only show in town either.
We saw a similar crowd Thursday night.
It'll depend on our success and we're in the right direction and everyone knows it now that we're in the playoffs.
I'm not talking about the other teams in Indy. People will fill an arena for a good team no matter what.
There's plenty of teams in this league who suck and are have other teams in the area like the Warriors and they still have a great home crowd.

The problem isn't Dirk. He's been ridiculously good and clutch for the last 5 years. It's that their second option is... who? Peja Stojakovic in this series? Kidd overall? Maybe Marion one game out of 10? With Butler healthy, they are fine. Now, they have no depth and the starting lineup isn't that great either.
Recently they even tried to play Kidd at 2, that's just miserable.
Same with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Those are football schools.
Indiana is a basketball state with several good programs to root for that do compete with the Pacers.
My point is not who else is in the area.
Back when the Trail Blazers sucked and had a bunch of bad guys, no one wanted to go to their games.
Now that they're winning, they fill the place every game.
The Pacers are not in any kind of rivalry with anyone in the area. They have the fans. They only rival who they play to get wins.
I also heard during the game that Caron Butler is cleared for contact practice.
I wonder if he'll play a factor for the Mavericks, if they haven't gotten eliminated yet.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
Overall, I agree. I see no reason why Pacers can't regain attendances. It won't be easy, but it's possible. If Memphis can get those huge recent crowds, with smaller city, warmer weather, huge unemployment rate, and lots of ways to spend your evenings, then so can the Pacers.
It would help to have Butler and Beaubois healthy, but even without those two, I'm not ready to write the Mavs off just yet. They are not going to blow an 18 pts fourth quarter lead in every game.

Like in the movies?
Today I watched Wyatt Earp the movie & in there was an altercation between Doc Holiday & his mistress. Doc reaches behind his neck & pulls out a push dagger. How could I do that with say a CS Safe-maker?
Well, start by taking drama classes, work a bit of summer stock, answer a few audition calls for extras and bit parts, work your way up to auditioning for a star role.....
Oh- you meant the knife? They come with a scabbarb and a chain. But you let it hang in FRONT- where you can actually get to it.
I wasn't aware Cold Steel had been around that long.:p Okay,take a shoulder holster,take the holster off, attach the sheath to the intersection of the straps.Zim zam there ya go.

According to the source, it was during director Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash, when the supermodel, 40, was heard giving the 20-year-old pop brat some 'choice words' like a teacher, after he tried to greet her in a cocky manner, the Daily Star reported.
The source further revealed that the 'Baby' singer was left speechless after the "slap in his face" kind of incident.

FIREFIGHTERS were called to the outbuilding of a football club in Lostock after a sit and ride lawnmower caught fire.
After mowing the pitch at CMB football club in Tempest Road on Saturday (March 29) a groundsman reversed the diesel ride-on lawnmower back into the shed in which it is stored, where it caught alight.
It is believed the fire started when a can of WD40 fell off a shelf in the outbuilding and landed on the battery of the mower, sparking a connection.
Firefighters from Bolton Central were called to the scene at 1.40pm and when they arrived the blaze had already been put out by staff at the club.
Crew Manager Phil Dearden said: "We spent some time checking the mower and making it and the surrounding area safe.
"Luckily, the fire was spotted quickly because the shed backs onto the changing rooms and someone who was cleaning in there smelled smoke.
"A few plastic buckets were melted but that was the only minor damage caused to the equipment stored in there."

About The Musical Offering
The Musical Offering (German title: Musikalisches Opfer or Das Musikalische Opfer), BWV 1079, is a collection of keyboard canons and fugues and other pieces of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, all based on a single musical theme given to him by Frederick the Great (Frederick II of Prussia), to whom they are dedicated. The Ricercar a 6, a six-voice fugue which is the highpoint of the entire work, was put forward by the musicologist Charles Rosen as the most significant piano composition in history (partly because it is one of the first). This ricercar is also occasionally called the Prussian Fugue, a name used by Bach himself.

I worked with artist Euan Macleod on several colloblock prints from 2005 to 2007. Euan's subjects are monumental male figures interacting with the landscape. The figures identity is blurred, anonymous and mysterious due to dripped paint.
Euan Macleod pours and drips the acrylic binder onto the surface of the print plates. This is how the artist gets a spontaneous and gestural mark.
Euan Macleod told Melinda Ham of the Sydney Morning Herald:
"I have worked with other printmakers, but the difference is that Paul pushes printing techniques to their limits to create an exciting artwork in its own right. When I'm working with Paul, I'm being led by my subconscious, it's a process of surprise, chance and risk. Paul manages to visualise how to separate each colour into its own plate."

To report or not to report
Whistle-blowing can play an important role in enhancing the effectiveness of corporate governance processes. In particular, legislation mandating that auditors blow the whistle on their clients' transgressions can assist in overcoming agency-related costs and improve confidence in external audit. This is, however, only the case if regulatory reform enjoys cohesion. The Companies Act No. 71 of 2008, by introducing a definition of 'reportable irregularities' different from that in the Auditing Profession Act No. 26 of 2005 (APA); excluding 'independent reviews' from the scope of APA; and effectively exempting the majority of South African companies from the requirement either to be audited or reviewed, may materially undermine whistle-blowing by auditors in South Africa. In turn, this begs the question: for how long will South Africa rank first globally for the quality of its auditing practices?

You're Not All Magnums — Study Shows Men Ignore Condom Sizes
Some of us dudes are packing a bit more wiener than sense, according to a new study which shows that despite efforts to educate, many men still choose not to use condoms. The biggest complaint? They say their meat-stick simply will not fit into a one-size-fits-all rubber. We have the opposite problem, so we can't relate.
