Dynamic Change
August 11, 2011 - 10:00am
Over the past three months on assignment with GBCHealth, I learned rapidly that things in global health and public health do not stay the same for very long. Information has a short half-life due to such dynamic and changing interests on the global health stage. Despite macro health issues that remain the same (i.e. large HIV mortality and morbidity burden), the fundamentals of these health... Read More

How far would you travel for medical attention or even clean water? Would you go three miles or even ten miles? How about 7045 miles? That's the approximate distance between New York City and Kigali, Rwanda. After leaving New York in late February, I arrived 16 hours later in the "Milles Collines" or the "Land of a Thousand Hills" as Rwanda is commonly called. Before arriving in Rwanda, I had...

I think that the heat wave the Northeastern part of the U.S. (particularly New York City) the week of May 29th must have been due to ignition of intense calls to integrated global health action generated from GBCHealth's 10th Anniversary Conference and Award Dinner Gala on June 1-2nd 2011!!

Peavy, Victorino close to appearing in games
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Two of Boston's key injured players are getting closer to a return to the field. Manager John Farrell said Friday morning that Shane Victorino and Jake Peavy should both be able to play by next week, contingent upon them continuing to make progress in their recoveries.
Victorino, who struggled with leg and back ailments last season, is working through the final rounds of strength and agility drills. Peavy, recovering from a knife wound to his left index finger, could pitch in a game as early as Wednesday, and Farrell said he'll go through a bullpen session Saturday.
"Tomorrow, he'll have an extended bullpen where he'll simulate some up-and-down," said Farrell. "After that, he projects to be back in a game [four] days from tomorrow. The wound is healing satisfactorily. Given all things considered, he's making good progress with it."
Peavy, if all goes well, will still be able to make four or five starts in Spring Training. Farrell said Boston will watch him closely, but barring any setbacks, he could be ready to start the season.
"At this point, yeah. And yet, we'll monitor it as we get through his times on the mound," Farrell said. "We're looking at the 12th being the first start. That gives him probably four additional starts here. We're not going to skip steps, but we feel like there's ample time to ramp him up."
Victorino, who declined comment except to say that he "feels good," still has plenty of time to return to the field. The Red Sox want to make sure that everything is in working order before they test him in game action, but the veteran doesn't seem like he's far away from the field.
"Hopefully, early next week," said Farrell on when he expects to have Victorino back in action. "He's making solid progress. He came out of yesterday's work feeling good. He's got more range of motion in all of his activities on the field and is responding very favorably at this point."
Victorino batted .294 with 15 home runs and 82 runs scored in 122 games last season, and the Red Sox have held him off the field in order to preserve him for the long haul. Farrell said that Victorino has a few days left of work, and that even when he returns, he'll do so in gradual bits and pieces.
"Just everyday work that he'll go through with the team," he said. "And once we do get him back on the field, then it's a matter of just a gradual buildup from length inside a given game -- number of at-bats, number of innings played. More importantly, he's getting closer to getting back on the field. We had anticipated that, but there was some work that needed to be done before getting in the lineup."

 Docomomo US will begin its 7th annual national Tour Day program at the First Presbyterian Church on Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Stamford, Connecticut. The Docomomo Tour brings together architects, designers, historians, enthusiasts, and organizations for exclusive tours and related events devoted to the appreciation of US modern architecture and mid-20th century design. Tomorrow's event at the First Presbyterian Church is the first of more than 50 Tour Days in 23 states throughout October.

 Built by architect Wallace K. Harrison, the First Presbyterian Church of Stamford is also known as The Fish Church because of its fish-like shape. The Fish Church is -- excuse the pun -- quite a gem with its interior that is bathed in a sapphire light and made of 20,000 pieces of dalle de verre glass in 86 hues.

PTJ's impact factor is 2.645 (the highest impact factor for rehabilitation journals is 3.77), with a 5-year impact factor score of 3.158. Citations to PTJ totaled 6,250 in 2010. PTJ ranks 7th among 61 journals listed in the orthopedics category. Among rehabilitation journals, PTJ also is ranked third in both the Eigenfactor score and the Article Influence score. Says PTJ's Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, "I like to think these healthy scores reflect our content. I'm delighted that so many authors are submitting manuscripts that are relevant to clinical practice. The quality of clinical research studies has improved exponentially. We also continue to call for basic research that has relevance to clinicians. Our case reports provide examples in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and care; models of new clinical management; and classroom teaching. And the Linking Evidence to Practice (LEAP) series helps readers apply results of Cochrane and other systematic reviews to individual patients." Craik adds that PTJ's old reputation for protracted review times has been overturned. "If you are an author, please consider PTJ; if you are a reader, please visit our Web site and enjoy learning what's new." JCR is published by Thomson Reuters / ISI Web of Knowledge.

Conference North 5th P W D L F A GD Pts
42 23 9 10 78 56 22 78
Guiseley roared towards the play-off final, only to have the chance of promotion snatched cruelly away at the end of yet another promising campaign.
It was a remarkable feat for the Nethermoor outfit, considering that their season didn't really get going until the end of October. Steve Kittrick was at the helm when the season kicked off and he was hoping to finally earn promotion to the Conference Premier.
However, Kitty and his men got off to a bad start as they lost 3-0 to Solihull Moors on the opening day but they did win at Gainsborough Trinity three days later.
But in the first six games, the Lions' only other victory came at home to whipping boys Workington.
A haul of just eight points from the first 18 available prompted the board of directors to relieve Kittrick of his duties. Senior player-coach Mark Bower was placed in temporary charge but he too got off to a poor start.
A run of five defeats followed before a home draw against Histon saw the former Bantams skipper get his first point as a manager. The club's hierarchy had seen enough in that time to make Bower's appointment permanent.
They felt he was freshening up the squad and stamping his mark on the club. It was a decision that paid dividends.
The team went on a 14-match unbeaten run, and just two of those games were drawn, with a dozen victories transforming Guiseley's prospects.
The wettest winter in living memory brought its frustrations, with Nethermoor being waterlogged on no less than seven occasions. The Lions also faced four postponements away from home in all competitions in that spell, so momentum was interrupted.
From the away win at Harrogate Town on Boxing Day, the Lions tasted victory only once as they only played six games in two months. The other five all ended in defeat.
However, following a 2-1 win at title-chasing Brackley Town in late February ,Bower's Lions went unbeaten for a further dozen games. The 13 proved to be unlucky as Guiseley lost 3-2 at Hednesford Town.
There were just four games of the regular season left at that point but Bower got the response he wanted following that defeat and three wins and a draw saw them claim fifth place.
They faced home and away legs against runners-up North Ferriby United, and the Lions maintained their 100 per cent record over them. They won both games, having beaten Ferriby in both league fixtures.
That meant they were up against former manager Lee Sinnott's Altrincham, and away from home in a winner-takes-all one-off clash because Alty had finished higher in the table.
Just as the game was heading to a penalty shoot-out finish, Alty nicked a winner in the dying seconds of extra time.

The numbers don't add up, but Minnesota Department of Transportation Commissioner Charles Zelle isn't throwing up his hands.
"I don't think the number is scary," Zelle said of $12 billion in unfunded needs confronting MnDOT over the next 20 years. "I think the number is achievable."
Zelle, of Minneapolis, wants to tell his story to the people of Minnesota. And he'll get his chance. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton has been urging Zelle and MnDOT officials to take to the road to show Minnesotans the kinds of transportation systems they can have — first-rate, passable — and what the visions will cost.
"Let the people of Minnesota decide," Dayton said recently.
Zelle has been traveling, recently appearing before the Metropolitan Council, then bound for Duluth next.
Not that the commissioner views MnDOT's 20-year State Highway Investment Plan, which he presented to the council, as a gem. Just the opposite.
"This isn't our vision," Zelle told the council.
But there's simple, telling arithmetic. Some $30 billion in transportation needs is detailed in MnSHIP, but the investment plan identifies only $18 billion in secure funding. That leaves a $12 billion gap.
The investment plan contains other thought-provoking numbers. For instance, half of state highway pavement is more than 50 years old. More than a third of state highway bridges are more than 50 years old.
Although the plan in the second 10-year phase calls for a focus almost entirely on infrastructure preservation, the number of state roads and bridges in poor condition will double and perhaps triple within 20 years, according to MnDOT.
But Zelle will choose his words carefully when meeting the public.
"I think that's always a very delicate balance," he said of linking given projects to funding increases. With transportation projects, things can happen, Zelle explained.
"We don't want to be so specific that it appears we are giving a promise," he said.
Transportation advocates applaud Zelle's mission.
"We're thrilled he will be out advocating," said Margaret Donahoe of Minnesota Transportation Alliance.
Donahoe suggested Zelle drum on several things, one being transportation is key to the state's economy. Business people really do calculate the condition of highways, the proximity of airports, in deciding locations, she said.
Donahoe — like Lona Schreiber, Met Council member — urged Zelle to stress the dedicated nature of transportation funding. That is, gas tax dollars, for example, can't be diverted by lawmakers to fix the State Capitol roof.
"It really does mean that there's a locked box," Donahoe said of constitutional dedications.
Former Transportation Commissioner Elwyn Tinklenberg said Zelle will do a great job advocating for transportation. Zelle needs to carry the message that the state needs a statewide, broad-use, interconnecting transportation system, Tinklenberg said, that is efficient, reliable, safe.
"The fact the number (budget gap) is enormous is not a good excuse for doing nothing," Tinklenberg said.
If the administration crafts a transportation initiative, it must be broad-based, he said.
"You can't just have one part," Tinklenberg said, ascribing the collapse of the past legislative session's transportation funding initiative in part to a too-narrow approach.
Donahoe agrees. Even with transit, highway conditions are important, she said. Buses are not immune to potholes and congestion, she added.
But where is the business community? Zelle indicated to the council the business community is still smarting from tax increases last session.
"I remain very optimistic," Zelle said of buy-in from business. His meetings with CEOs and others in the business community have been positive, he said.
Last session the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce did not support transportation tax increases. The chamber is currently forming its 2014 legislative agenda.
In its investment plan, MnDOT cites a number of factors eating away at transportation dollars. One factor is inflation, which, over the course of 20 years, could reduce the funding buying power by 60 percent. Additionally, increased fuel efficiency and fewer miles being driven — the mileage peaking in 2004 — cut away at gas tax revenues.
Dayton opposes increasing the gas tax.
"It's certainly possible," Donahoe said of crafting a transportation finance package that does not include a gas tax increase.
Tinklenberg, now a lobbyist, said there are no transportation funding short cuts.
"In transportation, you get what you pay for," he said.
There will be a public hearing on MnSHIP 4-5:30 p.m. Monday, July 29, in Room G15 at MnDOT Central Office, 395 John Ireland Blvd., St. Paul. Members of the public who are not in attendance can participate via video conference from MnDOT offices across the state.

Soy Protein
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 19, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Soy Protein
Soy protein is a type of protein that is derived from soybeans. Soybeans are specially prepared by dehulling and defatting the soybean meal and through these processes, 3 kinds of high protein soybean products are produced (soy flour, soy concentrates and isolates).
Soy protein has been used in many foods and is still gaining much attention thanks to the many benefits that it has for the body. Soy protein is basically used to replace animal protein; there have also been studies conducted regarding the possibility of soy protein to contain all the eight essential amino acids for overall health and development and for the use in the body's many complex metabolic processes.
History and Origin
The origin of soy protein dates back to its discovery during the early part of the 20th century. Soy protein has been available for its functional properties since 1936 with the introduction of the isolation of industrial-grade soy protein needed for various industries by organic chemist Percy Lavon Julian. Since then, soy protein has been a staple ingredient in many foods, food stuffs and in the manufacturing industry as well.
Ancient Uses
Soy protein was unheard of during ancient times but soya was used mainly as food. Soya is made into cakes, pastries and many other types of food. The health benefits of soya were however recognized and were used to treat gastrointestinal illness such as stomach pains and diarrhea.
Modern Uses
Soy protein has many benefits; fortified soy milk is a great source of vitamin D great for pregnant women to benefit the development of the human embryo. Soy milk is also a great alternative for people who cannot tolerate cow's milk.
The consumption of soy protein can greatly reduce serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein level and triglycerides. The phytoestrogenic properties of soy protein is said to be beneficial in binding to estrogen receptors to lower low density lipoproteins, effectively dilating blood vessels to lower elevated cholesterol in blood.
Soy protein is also beneficial in controlling blood sugar levels and effectively lowering overall body weight as well. There have also been studies done regarding the cancer prevention properties of soy protein. It is recommended that one serving per day of soy milk or tofu can significantly decrease your chances of developing cancer and various tumors.
The phytoestrogens in soy proteins can relieve menopausal symptoms as well as pre menstrual syndrome symptoms. Soy protein can benefit vegetarians since it can supply the necessary nutrients that are lost in avoiding meat and poultry. Infants who cannot tolerate cow's milk can benefit from soya milk as well.
There are more uses for soy protein in the many manufacturing industries in every part of the globe.
Side Effects
There are no side effects of soy protein. There is no overdose or toxicity from soy milk and anyone can benefit from the health giving goodness it brings.
The use of soya milk as a milk substitute or a breast milk substitute must be consulted with a doctor first. Ask your doctor about the best feeding alternatives for your child. However, there is definitely no substitute for breast milk for developing infants

Boxing can be like a game of concussive chess, a cerebral challenge as much as a physical confrontation, two men laying and avoiding traps and adapting to changes in strategy over 12 three-minute rounds.
Or it can be shockingly abbreviated and violently conclusive, with one punch sufficient to end proceedings with whiplash rapidity.
In Montreal on Saturday night it was the latter. Chad Dawson was relieved of his light-heavyweight crown by Adonis Stevenson a mere 76 seconds after the bell rang to begin the contest. It's entirely possible that some of the multitude who, as is the case these days, filled the ring to capacity during Michael Buffer's opening orations had not even reached their seats before it was time for them to turn around and clamber back between the ropes again.
Dawson, whose last outing had been a tenth-round stoppage at the hands of super middleweight champion Andre Ward, had rationalized that loss by arguing it was the result of his losing too much weight to fight on Ward's super-middleweight turf. Returning to light-heavyweight, he assured, would set things right; he dismissed Stevenson as a "tune-up" and mocked reports of his opponent's power. "If the only thing you can say about him is that he's a good puncher, I feel sorry for him," he said.
But no less an authority than the late Emanuel Steward had not only noted Stevenson's power but positively raved about it, gushing about the displays Stevenson put on at the Kronk Gym when he began training there in 2012 in what would, tragically, be the last year of Steward's life. On Saturday night, Stevenson showed why he had done so.
The fight, not unreasonably, had not yet even begun to warm up, the two southpaws trading right hand jabs, when Dawson (31-3, 17 KOs) looked to uncork a right hook. It never reached its target, never came anywhere close in fact, because just as it began its journey it crossed paths with a mighty left cross that Stevenson had launched a fraction earlier and which exploded on Dawson's jaw. Dawson didn't just fall to the canvas, he crumbled like an imploding skyscraper: first his shoulders slackened, then his spine curved as his head tipped forward and his legs gave way as he landed on his back. Somehow, the defending champion was able to haul himself to his feet and beat the count, but referee Michael Griffin, looking into his eyes and seeing Dawson wobble, weak-legged, back into the ropes, had no hesitation in waving the contest off.
Dawson protested a little, and his trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad did so more vociferously -- and perhaps, given the opportunity, Dawson might have recovered. But more likely was that Stevenson (21-1, 18 KOs) would have landed one or more equally powerful blows and that Dawson would have been neither upright nor awake when Buffer announced the arrival of "a new boxing superstar."
Dawson -- a sensitive man in an insensitive sport -- had little to say afterward, other than to acknowledge with good grace that, "It was a punch I didn't see. He caught me. That's it. He caught me with a good punch."
It was "a beautiful punch," emphasized an understandably emotional Stevenson, who can look forward to many more paydays and an enthusiastic fan base now, and who proudly wore the colors of his adopted Kronk Gym.
Asked what Stevenson's victory meant for a stable that was hoping to carry on despite the passing of its founder and leading light, Steward's nephew and new Kronk chief Javon "Sugar" Hill likened it to the gym's very first world title win, when Hilmer Kinty won a lightweight belt in 1980.
Somewhere, Emanuel Steward was smiling.
In the co-main event, lightweight Yuriorkis Gamboa at times showed flashes of his supreme talent and at other times highlighted why he can be such a frustrating enigma, as he scored a unanimous points victory over Darleys Perez. As usual, he boxed compactly and flashed his impressive hand speed and undoubted power; but he also -- as he so often does -- seemed to grow bored and take far too many mental breaks. Perez (28-1, 19 KOs) began brightly, winning the first 2 minutes and 50 seconds of the first round before being knocked down by a blow that didn't appear to land cleanly. After being steadily picked apart by Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) over the subsequent three rounds, Perez began to find his range and score with his own punches. That, combined with Gamboa's disinterest, almost turned what had threatened to become a one-sided bout into a competitive one -- indeed Perez probably should have been granted a knockdown in the eleventh, although the referee ruled that Gamboa had tripped -- but neither man showed enough commitment to make it an especially compelling contest.
After 12 rounds, Gamboa won by scores of 116-111 (twice) and 115-112 to remain undefeated, but the crowd cared little. It wanted more excitement. Then Stevenson walked to the ring; soon enough, the crowd would have what it craved.

Wahoo! For the first time i was able to use the Climo grip of sorts without pain to my arm. I'm so gonna attack driving with all types of discs with this. To get clean rips i had to place the pinky to under the rim or on the lower part of the rim on my Star Dart. I also needed to put my middle finger on top of the outermost joint of the ring finger because my fingers are so short. Disc pivot is easy and fairly frictionless. I got nice uninterrupted rips and wrist rolls over from playing straight after work. I'll have to see what Rocs and Buzzzes do especially but really i should rest and that's not possible because today has the best weather before the spring.
Naturally i used the trigger pull with the index finger.

See related content, From the show floor: New England Produce Council expo booths.
BOSTON — Retail buyers walked the floors meeting with grower-shippers and distributors at this year's New England Produce Council Produce and Floral Expo.
In its 14th year, the April 2-3 event brought retailers from throughout the East Coast to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
"This show is unbelievable," said exhibitor Charlie Eagle, vice president of business development for Southern Specialties Inc., Pompano Beach, Fla. "We had a couple of people we wanted to see and some we wanted to follow-up with, including current and future customers."
Many exhibitors said this year's show a better chance to meet with buyers than last year's, with exhibitor booths in separate expo areas at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.
"We are glad to be back to this side of Boston," said Bo Lynch, director of sales for Shapiro Produce Inc., Everett. "This is the place you want to be. South Boston is alive."
Council president Robert McGowan, partner with Wellesley-based Northeast Produce Sales LLC, said the April 3 expo attracted retailers from North Carolina to upstate New York and Maine.
"We have a lot of attendees and great support from the trade," he said. "We are seeing everyone from produce managers up to vice presidents of perishables from a lot of the major chains and wholesalers throughout the region."
During the April 3 breakfast, McGowan said the council continues to grow and cited its members' dedication to promoting consumption by financially supporting the United Fresh Produce Association Foundation's salad bars in schools effort.
Through United Fresh's work with the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative, the council in 2012 contributed a salad bar to East Boston High School and plans to donate another one to a Berlin, Conn., school this spring, he said.
Keynote speaker Tim Wakefield, a retired Boston Red Sox player considered one of baseball's greatest knuckleball pitchers, told attendees hard work and determination remain keys to success.
"The incidence of success in sports is the same as in business," he said. "It takes hard work. Everyone on a team is important, no matter how big or small."
Council executive director Laura Sullivan said attendance was similar to recent years, with about 700 buyers, distributors and others participating.
The "County Fair"-themed expo featured more than 200 exhibitors, also similar to previous years, she said.
In the show's booth contests, Bozzuto's Inc., Chesire, Conn., won first place in the best single booth division with T. Marzetti Co., Columbus, Ohio, taking honorable mention.
In the multiple booths division, Shapiro Produce and Sunshine Bouquet, Dayton, N.J., tied for first place.

The Detroit Lions raised eyebrows with the selection of wide receiver Ryan Broyles in the second round at the April draft.
Just nine months after surgery to repair at torn ACL, Broyles was removed from the PUP list and cleared to practice, according to DetroitLions.com.
The former Oklahoma playmaker is expected to compete for the starting slot receiver position with the Lions.
The Lions also cleared offensive tackle Jonathan Scott to begin practice. Scott was recently signed as a free agent after his release from the Steelers.

Baculosomes® Plus P450 Proteins
Drug metabolizing enzymes (DME) are a diverse group of enzymes located primarily in the liver. They metabolize vast array of xenobiotic compounds including drugs, environmental pollutants, and endogenous compounds such as steroids and prostaglandins.
Structure-activity relationships of drug metabolizing enzymes and their substrates comprise an important area of research that impacts pharmacology, toxicology and basic enzymology. There are increasing efforts to incorporate metabolism studies early in the drug discovery process because poor pharmacokinetics account for a substantial proportion of clinical failures. To accelerate these efforts, Life Technologies provides recombinant drug metabolizing enzymes and assay methods that enable scientists to screen large numbers of diverse compounds for their drug metabolism profiles.
Cytochrome P450 BACULOSOMES® Plus Reagents are microsomes prepared from insect cells infected with recombinant baculovirus containing cDNA for a human P450 isozyme, human NADPH-P450 reductase, and in some cases human cytochrome b5. P450 BACULOSOMES® Plus Reagents offer a distinct advantage over human liver microsomes (HLMs), for targeted studies of P450 isoforms, because only one P450 is expressed. This prevents interfering metabolism by other P450s or other classes of DMEs.
Compound rankings based on metabolism and inhibition profiles observed with P450 BACULOSOMES® Plus Reagents are very similar to those seen with HLMs for most compounds tested. Activity and metabolic rates of the P450 BACULOSOMES® Plus Reagents with most substrates, however, is significantly higher than those observed from preparations of HLMs.

The gratifying challenge of effective lawyering
A leading trial attorney in O'Melveny & Myers, one of the nation's best known law firms, Daniel Petrocelli specializes in complex litigation and trial work in a broad array of fields, including entertainment, intellectual property, unfair competition, business torts, securities, employment law, and in selected criminal cases. His clients include The Walt Disney Company, Barnes & Noble, Unocal, Guess, and many other U.S. companies, as well as numerous celebrities and other well-known individuals. "Working for a law firm with such depth and breadth of resources, in offices across the country and throughout the world, allows me to represent clients and try cases all over the place, and to accept the most challenging cases," Petrocelli said.
View the Insider Exclusives video interview with Daniel Petrocelli from the "America's Finest Trial Lawyer" series
He began his career with the firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp (MSK), joining a class of first-year attorneys from the best law schools in the country. "I soon realized that my law school education had prepared me better than most of my colleagues," he said. "I was therefore able to accelerate in my career more quickly and be considered for important, high profile, high impact cases."
It was as a partner with MSK that Petrocelli gained fame, winning a wrongful death verdict in the civil trial against O.J. Simpson. "I was an improbable lawyer to represent the Goldman family," Petrocelli said. "I had done no work in the criminal area or personal injury field, let alone wrongful death. But I agreed to meet with the family. When I did, I realized that I had to take their case. For me, it was a life-changing experience, personally and as a lawyer.
"But then, I feel privileged every time a client comes to me for help, whether it's Fred Goldman or a large corporation," he went on to say. "You are representing people and companies in times of great need. They want your help, they are paying a lot of money for it, and you have to do everything in your power to deliver the best result. I find that infinitely gratifying."

|In the United States, there are more than 1.6 million people living in nearly 17,000 nursing homes. Every year more than 25 percent of these patients are transferred to the hospital or emergency room. The main reasons for the transfers are urinary and respiratory tract infections. Today, more and more patients are being shuttled back and forth between nursing homes and hospitals leading to a "ping-pong" pattern of treatment. There is concern that these frequent transfers may have a negative impact on the quality of care these patients receive.
|Today, more and more patients are being shuttled back and forth between nursing homes and hospitals leading to a "ping-pong" pattern of treatment.
There are many factors threatening the quality of care a nursing home patient receives. Examples are:
|The average community hospital charges Medicare $4,000 to treat a urinary tract infection.
|There are benefits to reducing the number of times a patient is transferred. One benefit is reduced health care costs. The average community hospital charges Medicare $4,000 to treat a urinary tract infection. With 1.8 million nursing home beds in the US yielding more than 200,000 hospitalizations a year for infections, a $1 billon price tag results. Better management of the health problems of nursing home residents could result in significant savings.
Ideally, when a nursing home resident is very sick, a personal health care provider, familiar with the patient, would be available to evaluate him/her in the nursing home. In a 1992 study completed in Cincinnati, Sally Brooks, M.D. concluded that physicians collect limited clinical data before deciding to transfer patients to the hospital. Studies around the country are being conducted that provide financial incentives to treat seriously ill patients in a skilled nursing facility, avoiding a trip to the hospital. This may be part of the solution that leads nursing homes and physicians to provide quality, low-cost care to patients without the inconvenience of a transfer to a new health facility.

AN OTLEY school's support for an international campaign to give all children access to education has been backed by the local MP.
Students at Prince Henry's Grammar School have made paper 'buddies' - cut-out figures sporting their own personal messages - for the Send My Friend to School movement.
The campaign aims to use the collective voice of thousands of pupils across the UK to remind world leaders of their responsibilities when it comes to helping children access education.
Prince Henry's highlighted the issue during its recent Diversity Day, when MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) visited and met Year 7 students Joshan Chana, Robyn Gulley, Laura McPherson and Tom Winter.
Laura said: "Going to school is something we take for granted and I was really shocked when I realised how many children around the world aren't able to go.
"I think everyone should support this campaign."
Mr Mulholland said: "This is a great campaign with a simple but really important message.
"Education gives people control over their lives, helps them earn money, feed their families and contribute to their society.
"At the moment 69 million children in the world are unable to go to school and as a result have little chance of fulfilling their potential.
"I hope the Prince Henry's students who are supporting this campaign will always remember how lucky they are to receive such a great education here in Otley, and will continue to fight for less privileged children in other countries of the world."
The school's modern foreign languages teacher and International Co-Ordinator, Georgina Anson, added: "As the first high school in the Yorkshire and Humber region to be awarded the Unicef Rights Respecting Children Award, our work on children's rights across the world is vitally important to the school.
"Working with the students on this campaign really brings that message to life for them."
Prince Henry's also holds the highest level of the Stephen Lawrence Educational Standard - Level Three - and its curriculum regularly covers international campaigns for children's rights.

Flourless, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
(Makes about 2 dozen small cookies, recipe adapted from Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies from Cookie Madness.)
1 large egg
1 cup granular Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or use Splenda or another sweetener of your choice)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. Mexican vanilla (or vanilla extract)
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter (check sugar content, the one I used had only 1 gram sugar per serving)
1 tsp. water
1/3 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
In mixing bowl, use electric beater to beat together the egg, Granulated Stevia or sweetener of your choice, baking powder, and vanilla for about a minute. Add peanut butter and water and beat together. (The mixture was fairly dry; just be sure the peanut butter is mixed well with the other ingredients.) Add peanuts if using, and blend into dough.
Use a large non-stick cookie sheet. Measure out a heaping teaspoon of batter for each cookie, roll into a ball, and then smash down with a fork. Bake 15 minutes, or slightly longer, until cookies feel firm and are slightly browned.

Protein is vital for tissue building and repair in the body.
Plant foods that are high in protein are:
Iron is essential for the making of red blood cells in the body. Lack of iron can lead to anaemia (lack of iron in the blood) which causes a loss of energy. The daily requirement of iron needed for children up to 11 years is 6-8mg per day.
Iron from animal foods (meat) is more easily and efficiently absorbed than the iron from plant-based sources, so to ensure that your child meets his daily requirements, you should try:
Vitamin C is found in many everyday fruits and vegetables, such as:
Vitamin B12 is essential for making blood cells and nerves. As the only reliable sources of vitamin B12 are found in animal-based foods, special care needs to be taken to ensure that your vegetarian child meets his daily requirements.
Calcium is necessary for the development of strong teeth and bones. Calcium is also vital for the on-going development of muscles, nerves and blood-clotting. With consistently low levels of calcium in the diet, you will become vulnerable to osteoporosis, which is a condition that results in thin, brittle bones.
Fibre is only found in plant foods, and so the risk for vegetarian children is that they receive too much, rather than too little, fibre each day. While there is no recommended daily intake of fibre for children, a good rule of thumb for children aged five is: Age + 10 grams of fibre a day; so a six year old needs 16 gram of fibre each day.
Too much fibre can lead to poor absorption of:
As fibre-rich food is very filling, too much fibre in the diet can also mean that your vegetarian child may not be eating enough of the other foods he needs to fulfil all his nutritional requirements.

I do not know if this is the correct area to post this question, so please bear with me. My 30 year old son is responding fantastic to his regimen of cesplatin and gemzar. Tumors receding and blood counts coming down. Anyway, what makes a person open for surgery or not. I read you cannot have surgery if lymph node involvement then read you can. I'm asking because I will be talking to surgeons at different institutions in the next few weeks in hopes of finding one to perform the life saving surgery on my son. But the more I read the more confused I become. Thank you for your patience. And the very best of luck to all of you fighting this yourselves or for your loved one. This site has proven itself to be so informative.
Regarding lymph node involvement, I think it depends how close they are to the tumor.
As far as I know, regional (local) lymph nodes do not preclude surgery.
Distant lymph nodes is a different matter. Involvement of distant lymph nodes is considered to be metastatic disease. Metastatic disease typically means that you cannot have surgery.
I don't know where the boundary lies between local and distant nodes.
Please keep in mind, I'm not a doctor. I'm a caregiver just like you.
Best of luck to your son.
Thank you so much Eli. From my understanding he has two nodes close by. His liver appears to be fully involved and I'm not sure about the direct sites of his tumor(s). I'm going to sit down with his MD and get the answers to these questions. But it is very confusing to read who will perform surgery and their parameters as they all seem different.
I believe the people on this site know more regarding this disease then the medical community. After all we all have a personal stake in Cholangia.
As far as I know, metastasis to liver would be a much bigger concern for any surgeon than lymph node involvement. Metastatic disease is a strong contraindication to surgery.
I heard that Dr. Tomoaki Kato at NY Presbyterian is one of the most aggressive surgeons out there. He is known to go where other surgeons refuse to go. I would recommend getting a second opinion from him, if possible.
the indications and contraindications for surgery are confusing - they depend in part on the primary site of the tumor, the extent of involvement of the liver and its associated structures (bile ducts and blood vessels), and the evidence for/against spread outside the liver and biliary tree.
If you don't get satisfying answers, I am happy to discuss with you further. Dr Kato is another great suggestion.

Thank you very very much. I will contact him after my sons next scans are taken in the next few weeks. He is responding so well. Have you ever heard of anyone surviving this cancer WITHOUT surgery? I just want to help him make his life the best possible whether it is one day or one hundred years. I am grateful for how much more engaged in our daily lives my family has become. We do not take anything for granted and do not leave things unsaid! Thanks so much for your help.
Wow, I did not know you were a member on this site. Your office is one I contacted. I will be sending the discs from his initial scans this week. His Ca 19 was at 110,000 and after 6 chemo sessions it has dropped to 1365. I am absorbing more information every day. My son is 30, has always lived a healthy active life. This is such a shock. He is tolerating the chemo well but it is still chemo. If you had never meant him and ran into him today it would be hard to believe he has cancer. I'm hoping to find a cure while he is healthy enough to tolerate what is necessary to accomplish it. THANK YOU
Thank you, Dr. Sonnenday. It is very kind of you to take time out of your busy schedule in order to offer your professional opinion to our members. It is very much appreciated and welcome. Thank you.

Cyalume ChemLight General Purpose 12 Hour, Red
Our Price:
Stock Status:In Stock
Spec Information
Your mission depends on effective operations; Cyalume is a name you can trust. Cyalume® ChemLights™ are waterproof, durable, self contained and ready all the time, every time. Field tested and proven effective, 6" ChemLights are easy to use, easy to identify and dispose of during military and federal government operations and training. Recommended for shift signals, drop zones, and hazard markers. Perfect for survival, first aid, and evacuation kits. Individually foil-wrapped for light and moisture protection. Available in a variety of colors; providing up to 12 hours of illumination.
ChemLights™ Made exclusively to military specifications in the US and Europe, Cyalume lights are deployed everywhere and are being advanced every day. Advanced Hook & Gate Top.
Red Glow, standard intensity with 6 to 8 hours of diminishing light. NSN 6260-01-178-5559
The durable, waterproof, external body of the light stick is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), and is phthalate free for safety. The internal illuminating chemical substance is non-toxic and non-flammable, and the components of the light stick are recyclable. The light stick floats in water and works best between 40 to 80 degrees F (4 to 27 degrees C), and although the light stick works at higher or lower temperatures, it is less effective in colder temperatures.
All sticks are tested at a temperature of 72 degrees F (22 degrees C) to determine the illumination duration. Each 10-degree C (50-degree F) increase or decrease in temperature doubles or halves the reaction rate, and therefore the brightness and duration. For example, the same light stick that emits approximately 30 lux (a unit that describes how much light is visible over a square meter) at 15 minutes after activation at 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) will be half as bright but glow twice as long at 14 degrees C (57 degrees F). At 34 degrees C (93 degrees F), the same light stick would be twice as bright, but glow half as long. Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120 degrees F or 49 degrees C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20 degrees F, or -26 to -29 degrees C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the light sticks.
Light sticks are chemiluminescent substances in plastic tubes that provide hours of illumination in a number of safety, industrial, and military applications. Light sticks are waterproof, non-flammable, and non-sparking, which makes them useful in hazardous situations where sparks or flame could cause an explosion. Duration is determined by the chemistry of the formulation. Brightness is affected by temperature: the warmer the temperature, the brighter the light will appear. All sticks are tested at a temperature of 72 degrees F to determine the illumination duration. Viewing distance can be affected by temperature, moisture, and other elements.
The Cyalume ChemLight is a Red military grade chemical light stick measuring 6" long, for providing instant 360 degree illumination, that can be seen up to a mile away for up to 12 hours in optimal conditions. The ChemLight is waterproof, non-toxic, and non-flammable. To activate the light stick, bend, snap and shake the tube. The light stick has a hook and gate top, for hanging or attaching the light. The ChemLight meets Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) specifications, and National/NATO Stock Numbers (NSN) are printed on each product. Each light stick is individually foil-wrapped for protection from light and moisture, and has up to a four-year shelf life from date of manufacture.

The CAP Theorem states that it is possible to optimize for any 2 of Consistency, Availability, and Network Partition Tolerance, but not all three. Though presented by Eric Brewer in 2000 and proved in 2002, the CAP Theorem has only recently gained significant awareness and that primarily among engineers working on high-traffic applications. With spreading awareness of the CAP theorem, there has been a proliferation of development on AP (a.k.a. Available-Network Partition Tolerant) systems - systems that offer weaker consistency guarantees for higher availability and network partition tolerance. Much of the interest in these AP systems is in the social networking and web entertainment space where eventual consistency issues are relatively easy to mask. Netflix is one company that is embracing AP systems. This paper addresses Netflix's transition to AWS SimpleDB and S3, examples of AP storage systems.

My father had a huge impact on my music career. He tortured me enough and let me roam through NYC in the late 80s to make sure I had plenty to sing about in life. He also was fully supportive bringing home analog synths from his school's music lab and then purchasing me a Roland S-50 sampler (story: here). It's veteran's day in the US today. My dad hated war and never showed these slides to us. After he died last year I found a few hundred of these. I scanned the first 20 this week and this was one of them. He is reading the Russian author Vladimir Nabokov who wrote Lolitta. If you knew my father a photo of him reading that book would make you laugh pretty hard!
"The Korean War (25 June 1950 – armistice signed 27 July 1953) was a conventional war between South Korea, supported by the United Nations, and North Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II." – Wikipedia

The Dallas Cowboys were hoping for big things from Anthony Spencer at defensive end after tagging him as their franchise player (at $10.6 miillion) for 2013. Unfortunately for them, he might miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
That was what Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones shared with reporters on Tuesday. Jones suggested that Spencer may need microfracture surgery, which would mean a long rehabilation process for the 29-year-old.
Spencer is coming off his best season in Dallas and was playing on a one-year tender with the hopes of getting a long-term pay day from his current team or another in 2014. At outside linebacker, he made his first Pro Bowl in 2012 on the strength of 11 sacks and 95 tackles.
His absence would mean the Cowboys, just three games into their new 4-3 under Monte Kiffin, would need to rely a lot more on journeyman George Selvie at left end. It's a key position for a team relying on a front-four pass rush, as a healthy Spencer was set up to excel again playing off the attention that DeMarcus Ware consistently gets on the right side.

Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Crutchfield Advisor Ringo talks about the AKG K 272 HD around-the-ear headphones and why the AKG name is so well-known to professional musicians.
Video Transcript
Ringo: Here at Crutchfield, we've set up what is called a listening station where we can really take advantage of trying out each individual set of headphones that we have to offer you. We've gotten really good feedback from a lot of the sales advisers on the floor not only being able to hear them for themselves, but to be able to translate that to the customer on the phone.
So one set of headphones I wanted to talk to you about are the AKG 272 HDs. These headphones are extremely lightweight and they're very comfortable around the ears to use. So you've probably heard about AKG. They're really used in the studio a lot. If you're a musician or an engineer, you've definitely come across the brand and I definitely think that they build a very good quality product.
And if you'd like to get our take on the best headphones here at Crutchfield give us a call. We'll be glad to help you out.

Maddon: Steal comes at right place, wrong time
ST. PETERSBURG -- In the bottom of the eighth inning of Friday night's game, pinch-runner Sean Rodriguez was thrown out trying to advance to second on a pitch in the dirt. Astros catcher Jason Castro blocked the ball and kept it in front of him, which allowed him to throw out Rodriguez fairly easily.
Rodriguez had just entered the game, which the Rays were trailing, 2-0, as a pinch-runner for Jose Molina, who had led off the inning with a single.
Tampa Bay went on to lose, 3-1, and manager Joe Maddon said after the game that he was not happy with the baserunning play. In that situation, he said, if a runner decides to go, he simply has to be safe.
On Saturday afternoon, Maddon said he had discussed the mistake with Rodriguez.
"He knew he messed up," Maddon said. "Hopefully, he's not gonna do it again."
Maddon reiterated what he had said Friday -- that the play was too big of a risk to take late in a close game.
"Again, it comes down to the point that you can't make that mistake then -- because at other points in the game, I want them to be aggressive," Maddon said. "You know what, under normal circumstances I am not upset with that at all, but at that part of the game, under those circumstances, it becomes a different question."

One of America's most intriguing show-business luminaries and true rebels, Dennis Hopper's amazing life was a roller-coaster series of triumphs and failures. Always intent on proving his genius and leaving a legacy, the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated Hopper acted in more than 115 movies and four TV series, directed seven films, and passionately pursued an artist's life as a photographer and creator and collector of modern art, embracing the work of artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein before the label "pop art" was even coined. Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel explores Hopper's life from his lonely childhood in Kansas, where he became determined to win the affection of others by becoming a great artist, to his often drug-fueled days and nights in Hollywood and his spiritual home in Taos, New Mexico.
Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel unsparingly documents Hopper's journey from a self-destructive bad boy to a reformed member of the Hollywood establishment and iconic survivor of the counterculture, providing a revealing look at his early days in Hollywood, when he had an affair with 16-year-old Natalie Wood and took acting lessons from James Dean; the making of Easy Rider, the crushing failure of The Last Movie; and Hopper's lost years in Taos and his recovery and political right turn in the late 1980s.
The book also delves into Hopper's tumultuous personal life, including his dramatic attempt to divorce his wife while he battled terminal cancer. This is the first book to cover the entire life and career of the man who hung out with James Dean, Elvis Presley, and Jack Nicholson, costarred in and directed Easy Rider, and came back big in Blue Velvet, overcoming years of alcoholism and drug addiction. Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel is a must-listen for Hopper's fans, film buffs, and listeners hooked on celebrity scandals.

I'm Audible's first Editor-at-Large, the host of In Bed with Susie Bright -- and a longtime author, editor, journo, and bookworm. I listen to audio when I'm cooking, playing cards, knitting, going to bed, waking up, driving, and putting other people's kids to bed! My favorite audiobooks, ever, are: "True Grit" and "The Dog of the South."
"Sex, Drugs, & Hollywood Money"
I thought I knew Dennis Hopper, but the first chapter of this book left my jaw open— What an incredible childhood! He was lucky to live through it.
Hopper was "discovered" in Hollywood by falling off a log— it was so easy for him. He would just show up and get attention the minute he walked through the door.
Winkler spares no private details. "Names are named," he promises, and they are. You'll learn every gruesome deal in movie industry, plus the requisite 60s-level sex and drugs. And the art. Of course, the art.
"Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know"
Like Lord Byron, Dennis Hopper lived his life with no moral boundaries. This may be shocking to some listeners, but somehow I think Hopper would be pleased that he is at last considered worthy of a biography. I have not read this book, and, after listening to the wonderful narration, I don't think I want to. The narration keeps the book entertaining because the narrator adapts all forms of accents (Australian, British, etc.) and gives a close interpretation of Hopper's voice, even Hopper's weird laugh. Hopper's life included so many others: Peter Fonda, James Dean, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, etc. From Hopper's beginning in Kansas to his death in 2010, the author gives a revealing and honest look at Dennis Hopper's life, art, and philosophy.
"Informative and thorough!"
I liked this narrative... the author used tonal variances to detail different speakers... Was enjoyable.
Say something about yourself!
"worth it if you have a coupon"
im glad i made it all the way through. dennis was a , sniveling overrated wienie. I did appreciate the rivers edge and easy rider. I do believe he ripped off others in easy rider. i would love to see the "last movie" as half the book is dedicated to this movie you cant find anywhere.

WASHINGTON — A Washington Post reporter who grew up in Marin and his wife are among four journalists detained in Iran.
Iran confirmed it is holding the four, including two freelance photographers, but did not disclose details about why they were being held.
The Washington Post said its correspondent, Jason Rezaian, and his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, were detained Tuesday evening in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The newspaper said Rezaian, 38, holds both American and Iranian citizenship. Salehi is an Iranian citizen who has applied for U.S. permanent residency and works as a correspondent for a newspaper based in the United Arab Emirates. The other two American photojournalists have not been identified.
"I am concerned about Jason," said a man who answered the door Saturday at the San Rafael home of Reza Rezaian, Jason's second cousin. The man, who declined to give his name, confirmed that Jason Rezaian was born in Marin and grew up in San Rafael, facts that are also documented on the reporter's LinkedIn page and elsewhere. According to the LinkedIn page, Jason Rezaian attended Marin Academy from 1992 to 1994. "I haven't seen him in years. He has been living outside the country," the man said. "This involves our family, so I really can't talk."
"This is just devastating," said Marie Carr, Jason Rezaian's real estate agent. "He is one of the most genuine, good-hearted men I know. It's just unbelievable to hear this report. He knew he was going into a dangerous area, but he really seemed to take to it. The last few years, we thought everything was on a positive note (in Iran)."
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Rezaian has been the Tehran correspondent for the Washington Post since 2012. He has worked as a freelance writer for several magazines and newspapers, including the Chronicle.
Gholamhossein Esmaili, director general of Tehran province's justice department, confirmed that the Washington Post correspondent was being held, according to IRNA, Iran's official news agency. Speaking to reporters at a public event, he noted that the journalist "has been detained for some questions and after technical investigations, the judiciary will provide details on the issue."
He added that Iranian security forces are "vigilant towards all kind of enemies' activities," IRNA said.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, a New York-based organization that works to safeguard press freedom, called on Iranian authorities to immediately explain why the journalists were detained and called for their immediate release.
"Iran has a dismal record with regard to its treatment of imprisoned journalists. We hold the Iranian government responsible for the safety of these four," Sherif Mansour, the committee's program coordinator for the Middle East, said in a statement.
The committee said Iranian authorities have detained other international journalists in the past.
Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, correspondent for Newsweek magazine, was arrested in June 2009 and held for four months on anti-state charges. In 2010, he was convicted in absentia and given a 13-year prison term.
U.S. freelance journalist Roxana Saberi was detained in January 2009 and convicted of espionage in April 2009 and sentenced to eight years in prison. She was released in May 2009.
The committee said Iran and China, which each have about 35 journalists in detention, are the leading jailers of journalists worldwide.

Rays pay tribute to veterans at the Trop
ST. PETERSBURG -- Monday's Memorial Day celebration at Tropicana Field saw the Rays and the Marlins wear specially designed caps and jerseys featuring an authentic military digital camouflage design licensed from the United States Marine Corps.
All 30 Major League teams donned the gear on Monday.
On the field prior to the game, the AVAST Amputee Color Guard, the only amputee color guard in the United States, presented the flag, which will be shipped to New York to represent the Rays at the 2013 All-Star Game as a part of the Tribute for Heroes initiative.
Master Sgt. Harry Bounds performed the national anthem and Paul F. Utter and service dog Ellie threw out the first pitch, representing Southeastern Guide Dogs Paws for Patriots.
The Rays also participated in the National Moment of Remembrance, along with all of Major League Baseball, by holding a moment of silence at 3 p.m.

Despite different roles on the Baltimore Ravens' defense, Jones certainly knows what the Fort Wayne native and South Side High graduate brings to the team's defense since Pollard came to the club prior to the 2011 season after being with Houston and Kansas City.
"Bernard has been a competitor and leader for this team," said Jones, standing near his locker before practice here Jan. 24 in Baltimore County. "He does not take any plays off.
"He is a hard worker. He has the whole total package. I am glad he is on my team," added Jones.
Now Pollard is headed to the Super Bowl as the Ravens will face the 49ers on Feb. 3 in New Orleans after Baltimore won at New England 28-13 on Jan. 20 in the AFC title game after losing a year ago to the Patriots in the same round.
"It's just truly a blessing," Pollard, a very religious person, said recently. "I think God has blessed us all with an ability to perform in front of so many people to be on this stage. I think, we as football players, we're taking that ability, we're showing people what we can do, and we're giving God the glory."
How long will he savor the AFC title?
"It really hasn't hit me yet," he said after the Ravens topped New England in the AFC Championship Game. "Honestly, it hasn't hit me yet. I think as we get closer and closer to the game, it's really going to start (to sink in). 'Hey, we are in the Super Bowl. We are playing for that trophy.'
"For me, to be playing for the Lamar Hunt (Trophy) yesterday, (he was) the guy that I knew. He drafted me in Kansas City. It was just an honor to play in this game, to be able to showcase our abilities, our skills for the players and coaches. I just think it's time for us to show up and show off this Super Bowl game."
Pollard, 28, is a hard-hitting safety who led the Ravens in tackles with 98 during regular-season play and has added 15 more in post-season play. He had a big hit on Stevan Ridley of the Patriots that left the running back injured.
"This is a violent sport," Pollard said. "We run fast, we hit hard. Guys are big, and they are getting bigger and quicker year-in and year-out. I hope he's all right."
The Ravens have made the playoffs the past five years but are in the Super Bowl for the first time since 2001, when Baltimore beat the New York Giants. Pollard said the defense is getting healthier going into the Super Bowl.
"We are a lot healthier than we were," he said. "Going into these playoffs, it' just been exciting for us, because I think you look at this team, we know and understand how it felt last year walking off that field (after a loss to the Patriots). That was a sour, sour taste."
Pollard was asked if the team is focusing on the veteran players, such as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and center Matt Birk, who are near the end of their careers.
"No. We all know and understand who we have," Pollard said. "Birk has been a guy who has been around for a very long time. He loves the game. This game has been good to all of us. These guys, how they show it is that they show up every single day to work, and they lead by example.
"One thing we all have done, and we all have kind of used each other, everybody says 'Leader this, leader that.' But I think you have 53 leaders on this team. Yes, Ray Lewis is a guy that everybody knows around Baltimore and everything else, but when it all said and done, you have 53 guys that are showing up to practice doing great things.
"Our coaches have been outstanding. One thing I've said about (head) coach (John) Harbaugh, I take my hat off to him. That last few weeks, we can't express how happy we are for him and just for this organization."
All-Pro linebacker Lewis announced prior to the playoffs that he would retire after this season. That has also helped to fuel the post-season run of Baltimore, which ended regular-season play with four losses in five games.
"I think, for us, we've been through a lot," Pollard said. "I think Ray is a guy who has been here since the beginning of this franchise. He's a guy who is 'The Raven.' We respect him. When he speaks, everybody stops, everybody hears him.
"He's kept this team together. He's kept this organization together in so many ways, and we are all in this together. We want to go win this thing."
As for the AFC title game, Pollard said quarterback Tom Brady should have been fine when he put his leg up in the air when he slid while running the ball against the Ravens and defender Reed.
"When you slide, obviously, quarterbacks know they slide, everything is on the ground," Pollard said. "He knew what he was doing. So, I am the type of player where it has to go both ways. It really does; it has to go both ways.
"Hopefully the NFL will do something about it. If they don't, that's fine. If they do, then that's fine. But, I think for me as a player, we all know emotions and everything are on the field. We are going to say things, we're going to do things, but when it's all said and done, if you want to keep the game clean, you want to keep this thing going in the right direction, everybody needs to be penalized for their actions."
"I saw the same thing you saw," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said recently. "I saw the same thing everybody saw, so that would in the league's hands. It's pretty straight forward what happened. I'm going to leave it up to you guys to make those evaluations and to the league to make that evaluation."
Brady was fined by the NFL on Jan. 23. Now the Ravens must turn their attention to Colin Kaepernick, the versatile quarterback of the 49ers.
"I think heading into the playoffs we were not going to be denied," Pollard said. "That's just truly a testament to our team for what they've been through, for what we've gone through and what we continue to go through."

Clowning AroundSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
A clown is out hiking in the woods. He comes to a large ravine with a rickety old bridge spanning the width. He needs to cross this bridge. There is a sign posted saying that the bridge's weight capacity is only 160 pounds. Fortunately, the clown only weighs 158 pounds, clothes and all. Unfortunately, he is carrying a 1 pound apple (his lunch), a 2 pound red nose (an old clown gag) and a 2 pound rubber ball (something to amuse himself as he travels.) Knowing that he cannot risk exceeding the weight limit of the bridge and that he cannot throw away any of his items, how does the clown cross the bridge in only one trip?
AnswerHe simply juggles the three items as he crosses the bridge.

MEASURES designed to help home and business owners protect their properties from future flood events were approved by EDDC's Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (8 May).
Members agreed to to give delegated authority to the Chief Executive to administer the East Devon elements of a scheme that forms part of a nationwide Government initiative prompted by the devastating storms and floods experienced during the past winter.
The Government has launched a number of initiatives to assist householders and business recover from flooding and make their premises more resilient to future bad weather.
Grants Councils have been invited to administer several schemes to:
• Provide grants to householders and business owners to protect their properties;
• Offer Council Tax and Business Rate relief;
• Provide small 'one-off' grants called the Business Support Scheme.
The offers are available only to owners of properties actually flooded between 1December 2013 and 31 March 2014 and for work designed to prevent future flooding as opposed to work that should be covered by insurance.
Guidance issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government working with Defra means councils can administer the scheme on behalf of the Coalition.
EDDC's local scheme is based on guidance issued in March and is mostly concerned with administration of the Repair and Renew Grant, which councils can award and then claim back from Westminster.
Members were told it was possible that up to 50 householders and businesses might be eligible for assistance in East Devon, and that up to 30 could be expected to apply.
The Council has already received a number of enquiries – mainly from business – and staff have processed several Council Tax and Business Rate discounts.
In addition, EDDC has received £10,000 to distribute as Business Support in the first phase of local funding, and EDDC's Economic Development team will allocate this funding with advice from Business Information Point (BIP).
The new policy will supersede EDDC's website information issued in February.
Impact Councillor Jill Elson, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Homes and Communities, said: "This scheme will in a modest way help our householders and businesses to recover from the devastating impact of being flooded.
"The winter of 2013/14 has seen the country battered by extreme weather conditions – from tidal surges affecting the coast to prolonged and extensive flooding in what was the wettest winter in over 250 years. This resulted in many areas remaining on high alert for extended periods as the emergency services, supported by local authorities, statutory agencies and local residents, battled to protect communities.
"In view of the exceptional circumstances and the scale of the damage caused by the extreme winter weather, the Government has introduced a range of schemes to assist communities and businesses to recover and to help local authorities meet the costs associated with protecting lives and properties in the future".
