New Beginnings
Several friends of mine took care of the farm for two weeks recently so I could travel out-of-state to pick up my next farm dog. I spent those two weeks back east – a week in Vermont and a second week in Pennsylvania. The shades of green in both places were truly beautiful and very different from home. However, things (mostly weeds of course) greened up here while I was gone and while the green may not be as vibrant it is nonetheless a very welcome change from the winter browns.
Before I left I had given considerable thought to where I wanted – and needed – to be with the farm to achieve my original goal of the farm being self-supporting. While I was willing to pay for fencing, maintenance, etc. I wanted the livestock to be profitable enough that expenses for hay and other items directly related to maintaining the livestock were not coming out of my pocket. After several years raising lambs, I finally acknowledged that the lambs were simply not paying for themselves and that my pocketbook was being steadily drained; hence the decision to sell off the sheep. At the current time, it hasn't been determined whether or not the hogs will pay for themselves once I start selling hogs, although I suspect that the hogs, too, will be a money drain. The chickens are seasonal producers but because I really like fresh eggs, I'll maintain a small flock of chickens.
In recent years, the only livestock pulling their weight have been the Nigerian Dwarfs. I am also addicted to their milk, another reason to keep goats. As I had started drying off my does prior to leaving on vacation, and expected my does to be dry when I returned, I made arrangements to buy a doe in milk on my return. The difficulties in finding a buck with an excellent milk pedigree whose owner was willing to let me health test and lease him resulted in me deciding to purchase a buckling. After considering the matter I decided to buy two bucklings, from different breeders and with different pedigrees but both out of excellent milking lines.
A well-known Nigerian Breeder was retiring and selling all of her breeding stock so, in addition to the doe in milk, when the puppy and I traveled to Tulerosa to pick up the doe in milk, I ended up buying the last two available does . Both does have been exposed to bucks for fall kiddings.
At the present time the three new does are housed in quarantine, and the two bucklings are also in separate quarters, all awaiting health test results. More information and photographs of the new additions will be forthcoming.
I am currently contemplating different arrangements for new pens which will give me more flexibility in separating dry does from those in milk, weaned kids and so on.
The new puppy has been home for just over a week now and has settled in very nicely. He is accompanying me on chores twice a day and learning the routine. He has also finally managed to get one of the older dogs to play with him a little.
After serious consideration of several factors, I made the decision this winter to downsize and have sold most of the breeding ewes along with the lambs. The remaining ewes will either be sold or eventually find their way into the freezer. I had already downsized the goats, putting the wethers in the freezer earlier this year, selling Nutmeg's three doelings and most recently selling a doe in milk (Nougat) along with a dry goat (Thyme). Currently I only have three Nigerian Dwarf does. Although I had no plans to downsize my flock of chickens, the Mexican Grey Wolf which passed through the area took care of that for me.
When the Unlikely Occurs
My chickens are free to roam the property and over the years my chicken population has waxed and waned depending upon the predators in the area. A couple of summers ago I finally finished the last of the perimeter fencing and my coyote sightings fell significantly (as did my chicken losses). However, a short while ago I started losing chickens again. The occasional loss is something I accept as a consequence of my choice to let my chickens range, but when I lost four chickens in one day it was apparent I had a serious problem with predators again.
A few days ago I had finished morning chores and was back in the house for another cup of coffee. I was sitting at the computer in the breakfast room which has windows to the east, south and west. The south view is of the horse corral and sheep and goat pens. Lately the chickens have taken to congregating under a tree between the greenhouse and the animal pens. The chickens suddenly started squawking and the dogs went ballistic. All of the animals, horse, sheep and goats. were bunched up in the center of their respective corral/pens which was unusual behavior. I jumped up and opened the door and Tuck and Kip went tearing out, along the side deck, and to the chicken coop behind the house. Unfortunately, the problem was actually straight ahead — as a large animal ran past and disappeared into the wooded area to the east. I only got a glimpse but my thought was that it was the biggest coyote I had seen to date and was in exceptional condition.
Later that same day, the sequence played out again. Only this time the animal ran from the south past the windows to the east so I got a much better look as it went by. My impression was that it was not a coyote but a wolf based on the size and the shape of the head and ears. I have not had a wolf (that I'm aware of) on my property since the very first year I was here but evidently some of the Mexican Grey Wolves which were re-introduced into New Mexico in 1998 have wandered to the very edges of their range. While I was trying to convince myself I had been wrong and it was just a very large, well fed coyote, based upon the local newspaper there have been four confirmed sightings of Mexican Grey Wolves between San Antonio and Sevilleta and I am about halfway between those two locations, so I am now reasonably sure it was indeed a wolf.
While this comparison doesn't show it, there is a substantial size difference between the two and my unwanted visitor was much larger than the coyotes in my area which are generally in the 35-40 lb range.
The chickens have been cooped for the past few days and while the dogs have let me know the wolf has scoped out the chicken coop I haven't seen it again myself. I am hopeful it will continue its journey on now that the 'diner' has been closed.
Plus Five More
I was hard at work this morning when I heard some cheeping. Since the two chicks in the brooder with the hen are too far from the house to be heard, I figured I was hearing things and ignored it. However, when I heard cheeping again a couple of hours later I went out to investigate. I found a hen with five chicks in the area between the drive and the pump house. After a couple of abortive attempts to catch the chicks I went back to work. Tonight when I went out to feed I found the hen on the outside of the run attached to the chicken coop with all five chicks under her. I had opened the brooder into the run this morning so the other hen and her two chicks were in the run. Therefore, my goal was to get the second hen and five chicks into the brooder. However things didn't go quite as planned and I ended up with four chicks in the brooder and the hen and one chick into the run. While trying to get her and the chick into the brooder, the other hen and her two chicks went back into the brooder and all six chicks ended up with the hen. Some fancy shuffling managed to separate the hen from all the chicks and I was able to finally catch the four chicks and put them out in the run with the hen. Four black chicks and one yellow chick.
First chicks of the season
After an early spring with lots of eggs a few weeks ago I started finding fewer and fewer eggs in the nesting boxes. While I found a couple of nests outside the coop with eggs, egg production was still drastically reduced. I wondered whether a hen had gone broody but was never able to find a nest with a broody hen. I got home tonight and ran out to the chicken coop in between rain bursts to collect eggs. While in the chicken coop I heard the very distinctive chirp of young chicks. A quick scan of the area revealed two chicks huddled outside the chicken coop. I dashed around the coop and found the two live chicks and a third one, dead, but no signs of broken shells or of a broody hen. I picked up both chicks and carried them to the brooder side of the chicken coop. After settling them in the brooder I hooked up the lights to keep them warm and cleaned and filled a waterer. However, what to feed them was an issue. The feed store was closed and I don't keep chick feed on hand unless I have chicks. I finally decided I'd make some instant maple syrup oatmeal and a hardboiled egg to tide them over until I could get to the feed store in the morning. When I took the mix out to the coop and filled a chick feeder for them, I scouted around the chicken coop one more time to look for any other chicks or signs of a nest. I found neither, but I did find a hen hunkered down making distress calls. Hoping she was the broody hen, I caught her (at which time her vocalizations turned into seriously pissed off chicken sounds) and carried her around to the brooder. She did settle down over the chicks so I turned off the lights and left all three in peace.
Home Grown
Year of the Sheep . . . not so much
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2015 is the year of the Sheep. Really not seeing that on the farm. This is the first year since I started raising sheep that all of my breeding ewes were not bred. Rather than the 20 plus lambs I normally have, this year I had eight.
It is, however, the year of the Chicken. I have had multiple hens go broody, starting with my first hen showing up with two chicks in tow. She unfortunately lost both those chicks, but the second hen hatched out eight chicks and those are doing very well. Hen number three hatched out seven but lost two within the first few days. While what I've read says that all eggs in a nest will pip out within 36 hours, that isn't necessarily true. The chicks in this clutch were hatched over a week span so the oldest chicks are considerably larger than the youngest as demonstrated in this photo where the smallest can still spend the night snug and warm underneath mom while the oldest has to resort to sleeping on top of her.
Hen number four was not so lucky. She hatched out one live chick, with two that were unsuccessful in pipping out. Since she hatched her chick several feet off the ground in the hay stack, I moved her and her chick into a dog kennel in the barn. That worked for the first two weeks but then she started roosting on the top of the kennel and her chick, who couldn't make it to the top, would roost as high as it could fly (it is now roosting on the top of the kennel) and from there it was inevitable that she would start taking the chick on walkabouts.
Then hen number five showed up with seven chicks in tow that she had hatched somewhere on the property. She is down to five chicks but those are growing rapidly. A couple of days ago I went out and found hen six was showing her eight chicks the ropes. It will be interesting to see how many she successfully raises.
One of the reasons I had looked at Icelandics was to get chickens that would go broody and raise chicks. It is a really good thing that some of my hens decided to go broody this spring as the attempt to incubate the Icelandic chicken eggs I had shipped pretty much failed. Out of 18 eggs, only six hatched and four of those didn't survive more than a couple of days. However, the two that did survive are doing well and I turned them out with the other chickens a couple of days ago.
It will be interesting to see if I get any hens out of the 29 chicks or if I'll end up with a freezer full of chicken instead.
Unusual Year
As mentioned before, I have never had a hen go broody until this spring. One of my Americana hens has been sitting a clutch of eggs since late April and according to my calendar was due to start hatching chicks out this week. I went out shortly after lunch today to find two chicks under her, along with more than a dozen unhatched eggs. A little internet research turned up the information that hatching may take place over 36 hours so I'm hoping to find more chicks tomorrow morning.
And we have been having thunderstorms (and hailstorms) on a fairly frequent basis this spring. The past few years the weather has been unpredictable, but generally rain is more likely to occur with the summer monsoons. The extra moisture bodes well for the pasture and will hopefully mean I won't need as much hay this year. Joey found a unique way to stay dry (or mostly dry) during this afternoon's thunderstorm.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night . . .
I have been looking at Icelandic Chickens for a few years now. With my predator problem now under control (still knocking on wood) late last year I started a diligent search for an Icelandic Chicken breeder who would sell me some chicks. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in finding anyone who would ship anything other than eggs. So the search was then on to find someone local who had experience (and success) in hatching eggs with an incubator.
A chance conversation earlier this year found me that person and so arrangements were made to have 18 fertile Icelandic chicken eggs shipped this spring after the temperatures had warmed up but before the temperatures were too high. Yesterday I received an e-mail stating that the eggs had been shipped and were due to be delivered on Thursday. Since a tracking number was provided I went ahead and set up text messages every time the package was scanned to ensure that I was able to get the eggs as soon as they arrived.
You can imagine my surprise when this morning I got a text saying the package had been scanned in on arrival in Albuquerque. A second text followed shortly thereafter that the package had been scanned on departure. Shortly after noon I received a phone call from the Post Office stating that a package marked "Hatching Eggs" had arrived.
And the moral to this story is that if you need anything delivered quickly and efficiently by the US Postal Service, send it with a live chick or marked "hatching eggs" — the US Postal Service excels at these deliveries — letters, not so much.

Vineyards | Winninger Uhlen
Winningens most famous site consists of an impressive terraced wall between the villages of Winningen and Kobern. Uhlens most defining feature is its heterogeneous rock formations of gray and blue slate, red slate, various sandstones with their iron-rich components, limestone and quartzite. Indeed, all young Uhlen wines have a metallic minerality running through them, often almost a salty hardness, which becomes milder as the wine matures in bottle. Uhlen Rieslings need time to express themselves fully. They're highly individualized, mostly dry wines for connoisseurs. These are wines which require knowledgeable examination.

Casa Mira Mar hovers over the breaking waves of Dominical Beach. It is perched on a hill 200 meters from the ocean on a secluded beach and is a perfect home base for beach and mountain adventures. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 kitchen home is perfectly located in one of Costa Rica's most wild and scenic areas, right between Playa Dominical and Playa Dominicalito. The National Wildlife Reserve, Hacienda Baru, is less then 5 minutes away and the "must see" Whale's Tail National Park is 20 minutes away. Also, the world famous Maunuel Antonio National Park is 45 minutes away and makes for a great day trip. Corcovado and the Osa Penninsula are right around the corner and would make for a great weekend trip.
The house itself is set up with an amazing covered deck that quickly becomes the hang out area for everyone. There is also an outdoor patio downstairs that is perched above the ocean. It is the perfect spot to watch the sun set into the pacific and enjoy a tasty beverage. Manuel Antonio can be seen clearly from this perch, as well as the waves crashing on dominical beach.
Both kitchens are set up with everything you need to make a healthy and delicious tropical meal.
The house is furnished with artistic and locally made tropical hard wood pieces that are a nice compliment to the clean/tiled feel of the place.
All 3 bedrooms have their own full bathroom. From the beds in each of the rooms, you can wake up and see and hear the ocean without lifting your head off the pillow. Then have a cup of coffee and walk 5 minutes down the hill for a quick dip in the pacific. That's how we like to start the day.
Our house works great for friends, couples, or families. The upstairs deck is completely baby proof with railings on all sides :-)
The yard has citrus trees, mango trees, coconuts palms, bamboo and many flowers. It slopes down towards the main road and ocean. Birds are bountiful (especially parakeets) and a monkey has been eating the papayas lately.
Located 200 meters from the ocean, the beach is accessible via driving or walking. Althouth the beach is close (there is a trail to the beach down the short driveway, and across the street), we recommend driving unless you are very steady on your feet. The road is gravel and steep and it can be easy to lose your balance. There are many beaches within a 2 minute drive where you can park right under a sea almond tree and watch the waves roll in. Our favorites are Dominicalito and Dominical beaches.
Its truly a sweet little spot for relaxing and makes for a great home base for your Costa Rican adventures.

I first came to Costa Rica as an English Teacher back in 1998. I was fresh out of college and was interested in exploring the planet and learning Spanish. Costa Rica proved to be the most ideal place on earth for me. Its the perfect nature lover's paradise. I love the biological diversity, tropical cuisine and most all i have come to love and respect the people of Costa Rica. I have traveled the country extensively and can give advice on all Costa Rican travel plans.
Jane and Ryan Lubbers purchased this house in 2010
Although Costa Rica has many great beaches, we love Dominical the best. The town is very manageable and the house is a 5 minute drive to shopping, banks, tours, surfing restaurants, bars, night life and a national park. The house itself is not like other houses which are 15 minutes drive from the ocean. This casita is so close to everything and that just makes more beach time and less car time which I like on vacation. The mountains meet the ocean here like nowhere else in Costa Rica. You can be swimming in the ocean at Dominicalito beach and walk 5 minutes up the hill and be bathing under a 20 foot waterfall at posa azul. I also feel safe in Dominical. I like the eclectic crowd and the tranquillo vibe. Its a magical spot in the world and I feel good when I'm there drinking a pipa (coconut water) on the beach.
Being a two minute walk from a secluded beach is the most unique aspect of this home. The casita is so close to Playa Dominicalito, Playa Dominical, Hacienda Baru and Posa Azul Waterfall and swimming hole. Being so close to the ocean and having an ocean view are priceless. Also being so close to the great restaurants, grocery stores and tour operators of Dominical is very convenient. Its a superb house and location. Also, the house has a guest book that has descriptions of many activities to do in the area. That way each visitor can add his/her input and we can all learn from those experiences making our short time there more enjoyable. Its like a house journal that holds the memories and experiences of all who enjoy themselves there and want to share their stories.
This is not your typical sit around the house and watch TV home. It's great for sleeping, light cooking and sitting on the deck to watching the surf but does not have a central living room. We really didn't need one though because we were usually out enjoying the culture. When we did want to regroup, watching the ocean from the deck was wonderful, even into the evening. There are 3 bathrooms with showers which made it nice for all of us to have our own. The beds were comfortable and very clean. The A/C worked great and were glad we had it. Edwin, the house manager, was terrific to work with. Anything we needed and more he was available to help. He spoke great English too. The house came with a landline phone which was available to use for local calls. The neighbors were great and we felt very safe. It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach but the driveway is extremely steep so you have to be in pretty good shape to walk up it. We choose to drive it. The thing I liked most about this home was the privacy of each of the rooms from each other. It's a great place to share with other couples.
This is a fantastic spot, with many many amenities, in a perfect location. I highly recommend it. Great view of the ocean, easy access to surfing and the beach, forests, and waterfalls. The house is comfortable, clean, spacious. Highly recommended.
Being a wildlife enthusiast, I was pumped to head down to Costa Rica. My friend and I were looking for a spot that not only had amazing wildlife viewing potential, but also close proximity to the beach so we could kick back and enjoy the waves. We ended up deciding on Casa MiraMar and we were both blown away when we arrived. Not only was the house beautiful and spacious, offering daily sunset viewings, but we basically had our own canopy deck for birding! While we were pumped for the close proximity to the amazing wildlife preserve, Hacienda Baru, we were surprised that we didn't even have to leave the house for wildlife viewing opportunities! The beauty of the house, view and proximity to the ocean, and nearby Pacific Lowland Rainforest make this place a no brainer. We will be back!
Very nice view and a good place to be with family or friends. It have nice rooms and big showers. But The kitchen equipement (glasses,mugs, tupperware...) should be upgrated. The two levels of the house was very useful for everybody. Dominical beach is very beautiful without rocks and very plaisant to swim or surf. We recommend casa MIRA MAR for a lovely trip at Costa Rica. Pura vida!
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Casa MiraMar. The view was amazing. The house was clean. We loved how close the house was to all of the sites and activities we wanted to do. Jane and Ryan (the owners) were very helpful in answering all of our questions before the trip and had great suggestions on places we should experience and see. There is a guest book at the house with others recommendations that we also found extremely helpful. We were able to go on this trip with little planned and had an amazing time. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return again soon!
My husband and I, along with our 16-month old son, absolutely loved staying at Casa MiraMar! It exceeded all of our best expectations! In addition to its breath-taking view, we really enjoyed all of the wildlife and close proximity to the beach. As an added bonus, this house is completely child-safe. The nights we stayed there were some of our favorite. Relaxation at its best! We look forward to returning pronto!

When it comes to Internet of Things systems, the name of the game is low power and small footprint.
This is often easier said than done in an environment in which designers must take those two huge issues into consideration while figuring out how to implement and verify low-power mixed-signal blocks into cost-effective SoCs and get to market before their competitors.
ARM and Cadence are hosting a webinar July 22 to explore just that: How teams can address Internet of Things (IoT) and (SoC) design and verification challenges in a timely and effective manner.
The webinar will focus on SoC implementation and verification using an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The Cortex-M0 is ARM's smallest 32-bit core, consuming as little as 16µW/MHz (90LP process, minimal configuration) in an area of under 12,000 gates.
This turns out to be especially useful for engineers migrating from 8- and 16-bit systems who are keeping their eye on efficient code use but want the performance enhancements that come with a 32-bit architecture.
Diya Soubra, CPU Product Manager for Cortex-M3 processors at ARM, and Ian Dennison, Solutions Marketing Senior Group Director for the Custom IC and PCB Groups at Cadence, will guide atttendees through ways to reduce time to market and realize power-performance-area design targets.

I highly recommend any attorney at Horwath Law. I had both Kelsey and Angela represent me. I had a DUI charge and blew twice the legal limit. Got reduced to a reckless driving charge. Great lawers and great price.
Posted by anonymous
Kelsey was great to work with, responsive to my questions and worked hard on my case. I was very satisfied!
Posted by Janie
After being served with a bogus petition for an Order of Protection by my vindictive ex-husband, I knew that I needed someone who understood domestic violence to understand the background and implications of such an order. Kelsey actively listened and never dismissed my experiences with my ex. She knew exactly how to decipher a document dump by the ex and had a great rapport with each pro-tem along the way. It took three hearings, a counter petition, and my uttermost confidence in Kelsey's knowledge of the law to defeat him and defeat him we did. I would highly recommend Kelsey and while I how to not need her services again in the future, I will not hesitate to call her should another event like this occur.
Posted by anonymous
Kelsey is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She got my infraction completely dismissed. I would recommend her to any friend or family member.

Kelsey Ault, along with the other members of Harwath Law, were absolutely amazing handling my case ( And just in general)! Ault was able to get my case dropped quick and easy. And she did an amazing job doing so! I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer if you're looking for the best of the best! If I could give her 10 stars, I most definitely would!
Posted by anonymous
Kelsey got my case dismissed! She told me not to worry from the beginning and she was right. She was always so helpful and respectful, even when I'd call or email her freaking out. She knows the law and is highly respected in the legal community.
You can't go wrong hiring Horwath Law and Kelsey!
Posted by anonymous
I felt confident when Kelsey was assigned to my case. She was always available to answer any questions I had. She faught hard to get my charge reduced, and actually did it.

I am a few days shy of my 58th Birthday, retired from the US Army with a Masters of Science Degree. I prided myself in being a law abiding citizen and could not understand the public's distrust in the Police. I discovered why early on Thanksgiving Day 2014 when a police from Lakewood pinned me for Criminal Trespassing in the third degree for entering a house i believed i was invited. All the evidence i produced to them they effectively ignored, since they are divine and know all things. I suffered from depression. Kelsey comforted me in naturally believing what i told her. This was a breath of fresh air, as i have often doubted the work ethic of the younger generations. She answered every email that i sent her, as we agreed email was the best form of communication, which would allow her to talk with me even if she was in court. She kept telling me that the first chance she had to talk with the prosecution was during my pre-trial. i had difficulty in accepting this, however after talking to many other defendants at our pretrial, as their were at least 30 cases on the docket at my time, and they attested the prosecution ignored the calls from their attorneys. Therefore, she was right and knew the system. I watched the attorneys swarm over the prosecution before the judge entered. I had yet to see Kelsey, as i did not know what she looked like. I just believed she knew what to do. Soon, she came through the gate where we were sitting and called my name. I followed her out of the court and she told me she got the good deal she wanted. And it is a good deal. No conviction, no jail time, and no record, and a monitoring fee that is less than one half of a court date attorney fees. So she was also working to save me money, which to me is a godsend. I trusted her and she came through for me. I seldom right reviews, however, knowing the fear i was suffering with, especially being innocent, i want to help others who fall victim to our unjust justice system. She is an oasis in a long hot dry desert. I am so glad that i trusted her, in that i can stay with my wife and two children, and not in a orange uniform in jail. I will keep her in my prayers.

Performs professional and carries herself as an expert in the courtroom setting. She knows what to do and does it, almost making to look too easy. She radiates courage and confidence. I felt so relieved and at peace sitting beside her in the courtroom, as even my fear of the judge vanished and my sadness for the prosecution as it was so evident he was in a battle in which he lost. If you want the best, I would recommend you give her a call. She knows what she is doing and has powerful determined eyes to keep the court where she wants it.
Posted by James
She commands respect by her actions. Judge and court knew her. She pulled the required forms for my transference and with confidence handed them to the prosecution. I did not know she was my attorney at that point, but when i saw the way she acted i was wishing she was. When she came and called my name, i was so revealed. She told me to follow her, because she got me a good deal. I can now spend time with my family and not be sent to jail. She knows where she is going, and if you want the best, you would be a fool not to select her. She also had another client with a hearing and won that case also. I could feel the envy in the people who were still waiting to go before the judge. Do not worry about her young appearance, as she has strong powerful eyes that will get you the best deal possible. It is not always saying the correct thing that is the solution, delivering that conviction with your heads and behavior drive the point home perfectly, making resistance unwise for any opponents.

The Edmonton Regional Airports Authority (ERAA) commissioned LPS AVIA Consulting to examine the Edmonton
International Airports current and future demand and capacity for its General Aviation (GA) infrastructure for the short, medium and long-term to the year 2025.
General Aviation refers to a very diverse mix of activities including corporate flying, small aircraft charter flights, flight training, air ambulances, prospecting,
banner towing, pipeline patrols and various other activities
Consultations were held with ERAA to determine future developments on and adjacent to the airport property.
Developments such as the new parallel runway (12L-30R), an expanded air terminal building, an apron, the Port Alberta concept and the relocation of Highway 19 were
considered as the main constraints in determining an area suitable for future General Aviation developments. Electronic and physical zoning constraints were also
examined in order to protect the integrity of aircraft operations at EIA. An extensive consultative process was undertaken in order to understand the daily operations
of the GA users and facility operators at EIA and the impact of future growth in demand on their facilities and activities.

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | Year: 2011
Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) or metatypical carcinoma is a rare and controversial form of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that was first described by MacCormac in 1910. Numerous theories have been described in the literature regarding its origin but it is generally accepted as a variant of BCC that differentiates into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). At present, it has an unsatisfactorily established phenotype but is considered to behave more like an SCC than a BCC. A reflection of this fact is its more aggressive nature with a significantly increased incidence of local and distant metastasis. It must be distinguished histologically from so-called "collision" tumors, which represent SCC and BCC arising as separate entities in the same area. We present a unique case of a neglected, large, and locally advanced case of BCC originating from the nose, but extending into the paranasal sinuses, orbit, and anterior skull base, that was treated with en bloc surgical resection using intraoperative navigation to assist in treatment planning and margin clearance. © 2011 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

The authors present an overview of 3D computer-aided design and computer-aided modeling tools available to the facial plastic surgeon. They describe the role of 3D tools in all phases of computer-aided surgery including: data acquisition, planning, surgery, and assessment. Applications of these tools include obtaining 3D measurements, using mirror imaging to reconstruct missing areas of the head and neck, and 3D sizing or segmentation of bone and soft tissue. They review of clinical outcomes obtained from studies reviewing 3D tools. These systems have potential value for education, reducing operating room time, and improving clinical outcomes. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery | Year: 2011
Purpose of review: To review the past year's literature regarding current computer-assisted reconstruction techniques and their outcomes. Recent findings: Current computer-assisted craniofacial reconstruction research is focused on data acquisition, planning, surgical and assessment phases. The major areas of interest among researchers include cosmetic surgery; cleft and craniofacial surgery; traumatic reconstruction, head and neck tumor reconstruction; and orthognathic surgery and distraction osteogenesis. Recent advances in the fields include facial analysis and planning in rhinoplasty, facial surface and bone graft volume analysis in cleft surgery, computer-guided tumor ablation and osteocutaneous reconstruction in tumor surgery, and preoperative planning and surgical assistance in orthognathic and distraction osteogenesis surgery. Summary: Research in computer-aided craniofacial surgery is progressing at a rapid rate. Rather than just the latest innovation, sound research studies are proving computer assistance to be invaluable in producing superior outcomes, especially in the fields of head and neck surgery, orthognathic surgery, and craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery. Further outcome studies and cost-benefit analyses are still needed to show the superiority of these methods to contemporary techniques. © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery | Year: 2012
BACKGROUND: Temporary abdominal closure (TAC) has become a widely used technique in severely injured patients. However, there is growing concern that TAC is being overutilized. We sought to identify less severely injured patients who underwent TAC and to compare their outcomes with patients managed with a single-stage laparotomy (SSL). METHODS: This is a analysis of all trauma patients who underwent immediate laparotomy from 2005 to 2009. Risk modeling identified TAC patients who met all low-risk criteria: systolic blood pressure >90, no severe head injury, no combined solid + hollow viscus injury, or vascular injury. The low-risk cohort (LR-TAC) was compared with a matched similarly injured cohort managed with SSL using univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: Among the 282 patients undergoing TAC, 62 (22%) met low-risk criteria and were included in the LR-TAC group. There were 566 patients identified in the SSL group. There was no significant difference between groups for age, mechanism, Injury Severity Scores, associated injuries, base deficit, temperature, blood transfusion, solid organ injury, or bowel resection. The LR-TAC group had more hospital and ventilator days and increased complications rates (all p < 0.05). This included a higher rate of bowel ischemia/perforation with LR-TAC (7% vs. 0.7%). The use of TAC in the low-risk group was independently associated with increased complications (odds ratio 3.0, p = 0.01) and prolonged hospital stays (odds ratio 9.6, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TAC was associated with increased morbidity and resource utilization when applied to less severely injured patients. Further study is indicated to clarify populations that may be harmed or benefitted by TAC. Copyright © 2012 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Point-of-care ultrasound is an increasingly utilized technology in the management of the acutely injured patient. Ultrasonography has demonstrated utility and improved outcomes in rapidly detecting pnemothorax, intrapericardial blood and assessing cardiac function in the hemodynamically unstable patient. Examination of the thorax incorporated into the FAST exam (termed E-FAST, or extended FAST exam) enables rapid recognition of pathology within the trauma bay, permitting earlier intervention. © 2015, Bentham Science Publishers.

Background: Trauma patients are at risk for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The purpose of this study was to validate the Risk Assessment Profile (RAP) as a tool for stratifying the risk of VTE. Methods: RAP scores were calculated in a retrospective cohort analysis for all trauma patients aged 13 years or older admitted in 2003 and 2006 and hospitalized longer than 48 hours. Association of RAP with VTE, sensitivity, specificity, and receiver operating characteristic curve were included in the analysis. Results: Of 2,281 patients, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) developed in 239 (10.5%) and pulmonary embolism (PE) developed in 34 (1.5%). In moderate- and high-risk patients, the RAP had a sensitivity of.82 and a specificity of.57. Identification of VTE for high-risk patients had a sensitivity.15 and a specificity of.97. The incidence of VTE increased significantly with risk level regardless of mechanism of injury. Conclusions: The RAP score is highly associated with VTE in trauma patients regardless of mechanism of injury and is a valid risk assessment tool. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Background: The investigators present a series of adults with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at a regional referral center. Methods: Patients with refractory hypoxic ARDS received ECMO until they recovered lung function or demonstrated futility. ECMO was initiated at the referring facility if necessary, and aggressive critical care was maintained throughout. Results: ARDS due to multiple etiologies was managed with ECMO in 36 adults. The pre-ECMO ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen was 48.3 ± 2.2. Regional facilities referred 89% of these patients, and 69% required ECMO for transport. The mean duration of ECMO was 7.1 ±.9 days for survivors, and the mean post-ECMO ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen was 281.2 ± 11. ECMO was successfully weaned in 67% of patients, and 60% survived to discharge. Conclusions: ECMO provides support that prevents ventilator-induced lung injury while the lungs heal. The investigators present a series of 36 adults with refractory hypoxemic ARDS (ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen <50) from 17 different facilities who, treated with ECMO at a single referral center, had a 60% survival rate. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether serum bicarbonate (HCO 3) concentration can accurately predict venous pH in the evaluation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Methods: A retrospective review of patients who presented to a children's hospital emergency department and received an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code related to DKA or diabetes mellitus was performed. To be eligible for inclusion and data abstraction, patients had blood sampled simultaneously for venous blood gas and metabolic panel. A linear regression model was created using pH (dependent variable) and HCO 3 (predictor). The diagnostic performance and accuracy of HCO 3 to discriminate abnormal pH were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Three hundred patients met the inclusion criteria. The linear relationship between pH and HCO 3 using the Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be R = 0.89 (confidence interval [CI], 0.83-0.95; R 2 = 0.79). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis that maximized sensitivity and specificity demonstrated that a HCO 3 18.5 or less predicts pH less than 7.3 (area under the curve = 0.97; CI, 0.94-0.99; sensitivity, 93%; specificity, 91%), and a HCO 3 10.5 or less predicts pH less than 7.1 (area under the curve = 0.97; CI, 0.95-0.99; sensitivity, 97%; specificity, 88%). Conclusions: Serum bicarbonate accurately predicts abnormal venous pH in children with DKA. Venous pH determination may not be necessary for all patients being evaluated for DKA.

Background: This study sought to determine whether early referral from the emergency department (ED) would increase the number of organ donors and the number of organs transplanted per donor (OTPD). Methods: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients referred to a single organ procurement organization for a period of 60 months. Results: Patients referred for organ donation evaluation from the ED were more likely to become organ donors than patients referred from the intensive care unit (19.3% vs 5.2%, P <.001). ED referrals had a greater number of OTPD than those referred from the intensive care unit (mean 3.79 vs 3.16, P =.024), even after adjusting for the higher proportion of ED referrals who were trauma patients (P =.001). Conclusions: Referral for organ donation from the ED is associated with an increased likelihood of organ recovery and with an increased number of OTPD. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Background: In trauma patients, Enoxaparin (a low molecular weight heparin, LMWH) prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk reduction is unproven. Methods: Cohort analysis conducted consisting of all trauma patients age >13 admitted to Level-I trauma center and hospitalized >48 hours. VTE risk determined by the Risk Assessment Profile. High risk patients received LMWH unless contraindicated, while low and moderate risk patients received LMWH at attending surgeon's discretion. Odds ratio for VTE by logistic regression. VTE incidence, relative risk (RR), and number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism determined by risk category. Results: Cohort consisted of 2,281 patients (1,211 low, 979 moderate, 91 high risks). VTE occured in 254 patients (11.1%). High-risk patients had significantly higher VTE incidence, odds ratio = 31.8 (P <.001). VTE was significantly reduced in high-risk patients receiving LMWH versus those who did not (.26 vs.53, P =.02). Among moderate and high risk, prophylactic LMWH reduced the incidence of pulmonary embolism (RR =.19, NNT = 40.4, P =.01), and trended toward reduced DVT incidence (RR =.81, NNT = 27.3, P =.15). LMWH lowered DVT incidence (RR =.52, NNT = 4.1, P =.03) in high risk patients. Conclusion: Prophylactic LMWH is associated with reduction of VTE in trauma patients. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary-general, and nine former African presidents have warned that the "future of the Democratic Republic of Congo is in grave danger" because of President Joseph Kabila's apparent determination to cling to power.
In rare public criticism of an African leader, Mr Annan said in a statement they felt "obliged to sound the alarm before it's too late" to address what has become "an acute political crisis" in the sprawling, resource-rich country.
The signatories included Thabo Mbeki and Olusegun Obasanjo, former presidents of South Africa and Nigeria respectively.
Mr Kabila should have stepped down last December at the end of his constitutional mandate. But he refused because no election had been held to choose a successor and the courts ruled he could remain in office.
Dozens died in anti-Kabila protests across the country last year but anarchy was averted after a deal was struck on December 31 between the president and the opposition. They agreed Mr Kabila could remain as president and the opposition would select the prime minister of a transitional government to organise elections by the end of this year.
But Mr Kabila simply chose an opposition leader, Bruno Tshibala, as prime minister, infuriating the majority of the opposition. Diplomats and analysts say it is in effect impossible for elections to be held this year because the voter registration is unlikely to be completed in time.
"Both the spirit and the letter of the agreement are not being respected thereby endangering a non-violent political transition, which we believe is vital for the future stability and prosperity of the DRC," the former leaders wrote.
Voter registration has been delayed partly by a 10-month-long rebellion in the Kasai region. Hundreds of people have been killed and more than 1.3m have fled their homes.
Hans Hoebeke, of the International Crisis Group, a think-tank, said the former leaders' statement could be influential if it "bridges the gap between sitting African leaders, who are putting little pressure on Kabila, and the west, who are imposing sanctions on officials and demanding an election".
The African Union has publicly backed Mr Tshibala's government but there are signs that some regional leaders might be losing patience with Mr Kabila, who took office in 2001 after his father, Laurent Kabila, was assassinated and has made no definitive statement of his intentions.
The son-in-law of the president of Angola, the country that has most influence over Mr Kabila, has become increasingly critical of Mr Kabila and several leaders have met Moise Katumbi, the self-exiled opposition leader who wants to run for president.
One Kinshasa-based diplomat said the uncertainty was likely to last until Mr Kabila "decides whether he makes a big play to stay in power". "Is he going to try and change the constitution and rule through a state of emergency or is he going to sort his way into finding a loyal successor?" he said. "I'm not sure even he's decided and the clock is ticking."
The crisis has been exacerbated by the rapidly deteriorating economy. Exports of commodities such as copper have picked up in recent months but not enough to ease the pressure on the Congolese franc. The currency has slumped about 25 per cent against the US dollar in the past six months, as demand for imports, particularly of basic foodstuffs, soars.

System for Sixth Forms
Modern schools and sixth form colleges need modern sign-in systems to maintain tight security, and efficient administration of pupils, staff and visitors. Large sixth forms, with hundreds of pupils and staff members, will find it much easier to keep track of who is and who is not onsite at any given time with a sophisticated solution such as the InVentry Visitor Management System. Our system ensures that your student database is up to date at all times and makes the managing of visitors to your school a simple task.
Student Module
Swapping from an older system is simplicity itself as existing student lists can be imported directly into this module. Detailed student attendance records, including time of arrival, number of minutes late if applicable and reason for lateness can be stored in the central database, making disciplinary procedures much easier to implement. Because the information that is stored can also be grouped by class, bulk sign-ins are a breeze: teachers can sign in entire classes with the press of a button, saving valuable time without compromising on the integrity of the data in the student database.
Sixth Form College Module
A special feature of the InVentry Visitor Management system for schools is the advanced sixth form module, which is designed to take account of the fact that sixth formers often have greater freedom than those in lower years and may therefore be entering and exiting school premises more frequently. You can make sure that you know exactly which members of your sixth form are onsite at any given time with this specially designed module. It can also be customised for session registration in SIMS.
Reception Console
Your sixth form entrance can be equipped with a state-of-the-art reception console, featuring a touch screen monitor and high resolution webcam, making it easy to keep track of visitors and verify their identities. In addition to this, our reception consoles boast full report and search functionality, and can be linked to printers to enable on-the-spot issuance of temporary or permanent ID cards.
Encrypted Backups via USB
To ensure that system failure never results in a loss of data, we provide a USB drive to which your database will automatically be backed up on a regular basis. The drive is encrypted so in the unlikely event it fell into the wrong hands, your data would be safe.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks
All DBS checks can be logged in the central InVentry database, enabling you to verify the status of all personnel and visitors in an instant.
Rapid Sign In
Because our reception consoles are designed to remember details of people who have previously visited your school, repeat visitors need only type the first few letters of their name or choose their ID photo when they sign in on subsequent visits.
Notification of Arrival
Members of staff can be texted or emailed automatically from the InVentry system when their visitors sign in.
Event Management
A custom module designed to make managing events a simple matter will really help when parents' evening or the next school dance comes around again. With the ability to pre-book visitors and print passes with barcodes that can be read at reception consoles, setting up security for special events is a breeze and long queues will be a thing of the past.
Whilst the standard features of our modular system can be tailored to meet the needs of almost any educational establishment in the country, we can also provide solutions that meet even more stringent security and administration standards if required.
Barcode Readers
As mentioned above, it is possible to integrate barcode scanning technology into the InVentry Visitor Management System, which can be used to read barcodes on both permanent and temporary ID badges. Send us photographs for all the staff members and visitors you would like to issue with such ID and we can manufacture quality identification cards incorporating a barcode for each one.
Multiple Entrances
Whether you have a single point of entry to your sixth form or multiple points, the InVentry system can be tailored to meet your needs perfectly. Additional reception consoles can be installed at all points of entry, with Quickscan units for entrances that are only used by members of staff.
Language Packs
We have a range of language packs available for schools that may use more than one language on a regular basis. These packs are simple to install and will translate every part of our system to the language of your choice.

Earlier, and very briefly, NewMexiKen posted a link to a website, currently popular among blogs, where several photos of the President can be morphed into photos of apes with similar facial expressions. It's moderately clever and somewhat amusing. After some reflection however, I decided the ape site was in poor taste and removed the link.
Now NewMexiKen is no admirer of Mr. Bush, as numerous posts elsewhere on this site make abundantly clear. However, I am an admirer of the office of President of the United States and I do believe its occupants, past and present, deserve respect. Criticize his actions, call him a liar if that's what you believe, but let's leave the apes out of it.

About Mobster's Angel by Amy Rachiele:
Being smart doesn't save you from terror and doesn't teach you how to live with it. You can't escape the mob. It's part of your existence!
Vito has grown up in the underworld of the mob. He has recently reached age eighteen. His family has been involved since the thirties. In 2014, the rules haven't changed much. What worked then, works now; power, violence, and loyalty.
Love isn't something you can control. As much as Vito, mobster enforcer, wish he could, he can't. And falling in love with someone who is close to jailbait age is even tougher. Vito bides his time and waits. For a hasty guy with limited self-control, it's difficult to curb his impulses.
At age fifteen, Erin just wants to forget. Erin's world came crashing down when she learned her family was not what they seemed. She's been living in a lie. No one told her her family was mob. The cliché ignorance is bliss becomes a sharp stabbing realization when she has to learn to cope with the aftermath.
"Sometimes I hear him whispering in my ear as if my conscience has grown and matured into a six foot three dark haired male. The studying, reading, and listening I did to impress adults are nothing compared to what I learned from Vito."
~ Erin

BH Media will soon consolidate its North Carolina newspaper printing operations at the Winston-Salem Journal's print facility on Fifth Street, where workers are installing an additional press in a 12,000-square-foot expansion of the plant that began in February.
The $10 million capital project should have its press up and running by the first part of September, said Frank Clayton, the operations manager at the site.
Clayton said there are about 100 workers at the Fifth Street production plant, and that the number could grow to about 150 because of the expansion and consolidation.
The Journal's production plant opened in 1994 on an 11-acre site on Fifth Street, where a 142,000-square-foot plant was built by Media General, then the Journal's parent company. The new press is being assembled in a new building erected next to the existing structure.
Winston-Salem Council Member Derwin Montgomery, in whose East Ward the plant stands, said the expansion and investment is welcome.
"I think anytime we have an existing company making additional investment in their facilities it is good for the local economy," Montgomery said.
Gayle Anderson, the president and chief executive of the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, said local people were pleased to hear that BH Media is expanding in Winston-Salem.
"It obviously means jobs for the community and capital investment, which translates into revenue for the county and the city," Anderson said. "It shows we are a great place to do business."
The new equipment on site includes both the press and the equipment needed to assemble the finished newspaper sections, said Alton Brown, the publisher of the Journal, who is also vice president of the North Carolina region responsible for all BH Media properties in the state.
"I'm really excited about it," Brown said, "It is a beautiful facility."
Brown said the plant expansion shows the commitment of the company to Winston-Salem, and noted that the plant will be doing commercial printing that brings in revenue from outside the city.
Brown said it took about 15 tractor-trailer trucks to bring in the press and other equipment being installed.
The contract for the plant expansion was handled by Davie Construction Co. in Davie County, with local companies hired to do subcontracting work such as electrical installation and roofing.
BH Media is consolidating the Hickory and Greensboro presses at the Winston-Salem location. Newspapers that will be printed with the new press include ones serving Morganton, Marion, Statesville, Hickory, Mooresville, Concord and Rockingham County.
The Greensboro News & Record will be published in Winston-Salem as well, likely on the existing press that the Journal uses, Clayton said. Copies of the News & Record will be taken to Greensboro for distribution.
The consolidation comes at a time when newspapers are struggling in the face of declining advertising revenue and changing readership habits.
Readers are increasingly using computers and smart phones to get their news, but those methods do not generate the same level of revenue that traditional print did.
In April, BH Media Group announced the elimination of 289 jobs, of which 108 were vacant. The Journal lost 14 staffers and the News & Record lost 36. Affected positions were in circulation, production and newsrooms.
While there's a greater focus on digital media, BH Media has stressed the need to stabilize the print product as well.
Daniel Finnegan, the publisher and executive editor of the News & Record, said the paper is "doing what we have to do to make sure the quality of the paper and the time people receive it are not compromised by this move."
Finnegan said some of the press and production crew at the News & Record are making the move to Winston-Salem, though it wasn't feasible for some of the part-time workers to do so.
BH Media, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, acquired the Journal and other Media General newspapers in 2012. BH Media bought the News & Record in 2013.

Rita Richardson, Practice Administrator
Rita joined the Hardwick Dental Group team in 1995 as Office Manager.

Fast forward seventeen years and there are computers in each operatory, used daily to aid the HDG team in delivering quality dental care. From scheduling to digital radiography, the use of technology is one of the driving forces behind their success.
Taking the bull by the horn has always been her way of getting things done. The moment she joined the team she has been in the driver seat, navigating the practice through its many transformations, from the complete physical renovation of the practice in 2004 to the 2010 implementation of a fully automated office.
Now with her two children grown and her youngest on her way to college, she is finding time to dedicate to her own education. A full time student at Champlain College, she will be completing her studies in Business Management in 2014.
When things slow down, she and her husband Russell are hoping to spend some time traveling. In her spare time, she helps her husband operate their landscaping business, gardening, reading and spending time with her family.

As the Appointment Coordinator, she spends much of her day juggling time and enjoys the challenges it brings. She understands the fear and anxiety that can be associated with going to the dentist - she used to have them herself. From the friendly voice that you hear when you call, to the warm reassuring smile greeting you when you walk through the door, she does her best to put your fears to rest. "I understand what it is like to be nervous, I want our patients to know it's going to be all right, they're in good hands."
When Diana is not working, she enjoys spending time with her two-year old grandson - Hunter- who is the light of her life. She spends many hours volunteering at the local VFW. When she finds the time, she enjoys a good book, gardening, baking and learning to quilt. Diana welcomes you to the Hardwick Dental Group and looks forward to being part of your dental care.

More than half of aspiring basketball athletes experience orthopedic injuries
Michael Sen, DC
March Madness is finally here and with it comes the thrill and the strain (or sprain, but we'll get to that) – incredible wins and bracket-busting defeats. But the real "strain" I am referring to here has to do with orthopedic pain and injury. While many of us will be watching these young collegiate athletes representing their schools and competing for one of the most prestigious titles in college sports, younger kids will be working towards their goals on becoming one of those elite athletes. According to a study by the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA), sprains and strains account for 57% of the injuries seen in high school basketball.
It is very common to see basketball players of all ages encounter some sort of sprain injury. A sprain is defined as is a partial or complete tear of a ligament. These includes sprain of the ankle, foot, hip, knee, low back and neck. The most common injury seen in basketball is an inversion sprain of the ankle. This is when the player's foot lands on the lateral (outer portion) side of the foot and he "rolls his ankle." Inversion ankle injuries affect three common ligaments – the posterior talofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament. Besides pain, some common signs and symptoms of a sprain include stiffness and decreased range of motion in the ankle joint, bruising and the inability to bear weight on the affected foot or ankle.
A muscle strain is another common injury seen in many types of athletics. A strain is defined as an over-stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon. The most common strains seen in basketball athletes are those of the hamstring, calf, low back and neck. These injuries are due to tight muscles or muscles that have not been properly stretched before the player takes the court. The signs and symptoms seen in strains include pain with muscle activation, immobility, muscle weakness and swelling.
Treatment time for sprains and strains largely depends on the severity of the injury. A complete tear of any ligaments, tendon or muscle ill require surgical consultation and intervention while a less severe injury may only necessitate home treatment or treatment from a chiropractor or physical therapist.
At The Brain and Spine Institute (BASIC) we have multiple providers that can treat a wide variety of sport injuries in basketball athletes and many other player types. Our chiropractor will provide patient education about the severity of the sprain or strain injury, work with the patient to develop a treatment plan, and in some cases provide beneficial spinal manipulation due to body compensation of the injury. Our physical therapist will provide rehabilitation treatment to mobilize, stabilize and strengthen the injury. BASIC's multidisciplinary team approach to patient care ensures that every physician works alongside each other to provide superior individual care. So if the March Madness for you has more to do with a strain or strain and less to do with a basketball bracket, get the care you need to get back on the court again in no time.
