AFTER being ousted from the top job just three years after she claimed it, Julia Gillard will leave office with a $200,000 pension and a private driver for life.
But at just 51 years old, retirement is hardly looming for the former prime minister.
She will have an office, staff, car and free travel for the rest of her life, but rather than becoming the "the most meddlesome great-aunt in Australian history" or investing more time in her knitting, there are plenty of options on the table for Australia's first female PM.
Ms Gillard's biographer Jacqueline Kent said the former prime minister won't be chasing ambassadorial or corporate roles like many former politicians do.
"I could see her working for some NGO, possibly in the area of education. That's where her heart lies," said Ms Kent, author of The Making of Julia Gillard.
"She was minister for education. Education and the importance of it is very much part of her DNA. She comes from a migrant Welsh family. She's always felt all through her life that having fairness and equality of opportunity for education is the absolute bedrock of a fair and civil society."
Ms Kent said Ms Gillard was likely to use the skills she gained in politics in a socially responsible way.
"She's not particularly status conscious. That's one of the nice things about her. I mean she has a very good sense of who she is but she is not chasing a title."
Ms Kent added that Ms Gillard, a trained lawyer, was unlikely to return to the profession.
"I think she may do something that law is connected with but I can't see her going back to it," she said.
"I think she's one of those people that does som
ething, gets to the top of that then thinks 'OK now what will I do?' She got to top of student politics, got to the top of [law firm] Slater and Gordon, got to top of the government, and will want to move on."
Former Labor strategist Adam Kilgour, who is now managing director of communications and government relations firm Diplomacy, said Ms Gillard was a relatively young former prime minster and will have a "pretty significant career" in the future.
"I would have thought Julia Gillard will probably sit back and have a decent holiday after the election and think about things in the cold light of day. That would be the sensible thing to do," Mr Kilgour said.
"But there will be plenty of positions open to her, she's shown she's a very good negotiator."
Mr Kilgour said a lot of former prime ministers find themselves writing books and on speakers circuits.
"Because there's genuine interest, once they're out of the confidentiality of the cabinet room, about how and why they made the decisions they did," he said.
Former Prime Minister John Howard signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau in January 2008 shortly after leaving office, an organisation which also includes former US secretaries of state Colin Powell and Madeline Albright on its roster.
Mr Kilgour said they can also serve useful roles in NGOs either as patrons or directors, such as Red Cross CEO Robert Tickner, who was Aboriginal affairs minister under the Keating government.
New Zealand's first elected female prime minister, Helen Clark, went on to chair the United Nations Development Group, after serving for nine years as prime minister.
Ms Gillard could even branch out into the sports world with her beloved Western Bulldogs AFL team, following in the footsteps of former New South Wales premier Kristina Keneally who now serves as CEO of Basketball Australia, or previous Victorian premier Jeff Kennett who served as president of Hawthorn Football Club.

DEFINITION of 'Held Order'
A market order that must be promptly executed so that the request is immediately filled. In most cases, the trader will be required to hit the bid for purchase orders or, in case of a sell, to take the offer.
BREAKING DOWN 'Held Order'
When filling a held order, traders have very little discretion when finding a price because time is scarce. Typically, they will be forced to match the highest bid or offer the lowest selling price to facilitate a quick transaction. Held orders are used by investors who want to quickly change their exposure to a certain stock.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- The European Commission said Monday it received assurances from Ukrainian President Yanukovych he would work to restore order to the country.
The European Commission said Monday the Ukrainian president spoke by phone with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The commission said in a statement Yanukovych vowed to investigate the allegations of excessive force and to call on all parties to show restraint.
Protests erupted in Kiev last month when Ukrainian lawmakers decided to suspend efforts to move closer to the European Union.
Catherine Ashton, the top foreign policy official in the European Union, and Neighborhood Policy Commissioner Stefan Fule expressed outrage over the excessive use of force by police in Kiev last weekend.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported "hundreds of thousands" of people turned out to protest last weekend. Demonstrators in Kiev called on the government to resign. At least 190 protesters and 140 policemen were injured during the unrest.
The statement Monday from the European Commission said the Ukrainian president agreed with Europe about the need to settle the issue peacefully.
The commission said it was still open to reviewing the prospects of an association agreement and comprehensive free trade agreement with Ukraine.
Ukrainian leaders said last week there were concerned about the toll an EU agreement would have on its relationship with Russia. Ukraine is a former Soviet republic.

Question: I've got a bunch of student loans, all at relatively low rates (3.5 percent and lower). I have just under $35,000 at this point. I've been auto-transferring money into my savings accounts -- for "emergency funds" as well as future goals such as a down payment, wedding, etc. I have around $48,000 total in savings (between those funds). That money is sitting in savings at less than 1 percent. Mathematically, it makes more sense to pay down the debt. But I'm not comfortable with decreasing my savings that much. How to I choose? Stephanie, Medford, MA
Answer: I love it that you're automatically transferring money into your savings accounts to cover emergencies and to fund opportunities. The auto-transfer is a powerful way to save.
You're right about the math when it comes to the yield on your savings vs. the interest rate on your debt (although the rate on your student loans is low). However, you're also right to worry about draining savings during these tumultuous times.
What do you think of this idea: Pay down debt to the comfort point. First, calculate how much of a margin of safety you need now. For instance, look at your expenses, your job security, the possibility of a big bill coming up (car repair, elective surgery, etc.) and see how you stand financially. Then, once you have those numbers in place, see if you're still comfortable mentally and financially after taking $1,000, 5,000, $10,000 or some other sum out of savings and putting it toward paying down principal.
You would reduce the overall cost of your education, bring the day of being debt free closer, yet still preserve a healthy financial margin of safety.
In other words, rather than making it an either/or question -- preserve savings or pay off debt -- it might be better to figure a financial compromise.

What I Learned This Week: The Case for Triple-Checking
But to me, eschewing assumptions has been a way of life. For example, to this day, while driving, I never, ever cruise breezily through a green light. Instead, I follow a lesson I have passed onto both of my sons: "Just because the other guy has the red light, don't assume he's stopping at it."

Hi there!
I have been endoscopically diagnosed with GERD and have been on Protonix 40MG/BID for many years in an attempt to control the symptoms. I have reached a point that the Protonix has lowered my stomach acid to such a level that I am very vulnerable to Gastric Infections and have to be very careful where and what I eat.
Personally, I have been through several gastro and esophageal specialists and have had my share of tests!
My next step is to decide wether I should go with a Nissen Fundoplication, which is very invasive or the Esophyx TIF, which is not well documented, not convered by insurance and has, from what I have read, a 65% success rate. It is also not reversible. The Nissen is a very old procedure in which you cannot burp or vomit and has its own complications. The Esophyx TIF is not well established and I am concerned about
real life success rates and complications for those who had it performed.
I am a 50 y/o Male, not overweight and no bad habits. Seems that my choices are lifestyle are limited, to say the least.
Could anyone shed some light on this and validate/refute my above comments? I would appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance.

There are only a handful of members on this board who have had the TIF. I had mine in August of '11.
You say you have been "endoscopically diagnosed" with GERD -- do you mean that erosions and/or redness was observed? The only way to definitively diagnose GERD is with pH studies and manometry...although manometry is often inconclusive. Sometimes reflux can be observed during a barium study, although there is usually no way to tell the difference between normal and abnormal reflux. You should have the full complement of tests, and therefore have more confidence in what you're dealing with, before you consider surgery.
You don't share details about
your symptoms, and this has everything to do with your surgical choice. If you have typical GERD symptoms (i.e. heartburn, erosions), and are not overweight, have no other esophageal pathologies, and don't have a hiatal hernia beyond 2.5cm, then you are probably a good candidate for the TIF.
I'm not sure where you found a 65% success rate for the TIF. "Success rates" are slippery percentages, but 80-85% is probably closer to a more accurate number. The problem with TIF procedures (or even lap fundos, for that matter) is that very few are pre-qualified, either by procedure, or initial recommendations. What I mean by this is that it's possible to have a clinical success by the test numbers, but a patient is still suffering with symptoms.
Pre-TIF, my DeMeester score was about
22, with exposure ranges between 6-8%. Post-TIF, my DeMeester is about
4, with exposures 2.4% to 2.9%. Well within what is considered the "normal" reflux range. This sounds like a success, but, in fact, it is not. That's because my symptoms are atypical airway/respiratory, which means reflux is getting into my throat and lungs.
Compounding this is the fact that I am intolerant of PPIs...simply cannot take them because of massive, debilitating headaches. Also have significant heart palpitations while on them.
I met with a surgeon who evaluated me for the Nissen, but he said that, realistically, an exposure rate of 2% is about
the limit of a wrap. So, in my case, it would not be worth the risks. I'm left with managing my symptoms as best as I can, with diet, sleeping on an incline, and Gaviscon. Like many others here, I am miserable, especially since I know that there is no hope for resolution of my symptoms, or gaining my life back.
The TIF is reversible, and the surgeon said if he were to do a wrap on me, he would take the TIF apart. He didn't seem overly concerned about
The TIF is a much more durable procedure than the Nissen, but it is also not quite as effective. Also, the manufacturer of the EsophyX device clearly states that the TIF is a "bridge" procedure between PPIs and the Nissen. Meaning, again, that it is not quite as effective, and that expectations for long-term resolution of symptoms need to be evaluated.
Before you make any decisions, you need to take some time and carefully evaluate your symptoms, and consider what your expectations are. If it means seeing another doctor, then so be it. I've been to eight since 2008. Also, I would take a good hard look at the gastric infections you are experiencing. It's possible that these are exacerbating your symptoms, and if you cleaned your gut of infections, it could resolve your symptoms to a more comfortable level without surgery or heavy dependence upon PPIs.
Best of luck!

Hey Bruce,
Thanks for all the interesting info regarding the TIF. I'm curious what you said about
the TIF being a "much more durable procedure than the Nissen"? Can you explain this some more? I always thought it was the other way around, but am interested to hear more of your thoughts on the topic since you have been through it and understand it well.

Hi Lucas --
The TIF uses 16 very strong polypropylene H-fasteners, similar to what you see holding clothing tags in stores. Impervious to stomach acid, etc. There are four concentric rows of four fasteners, each row rotated slightly, a few millimeters apart. The limitation is how efficiently the EsophyX device can rotate when the fasteners are stapled, and it's not a perfect 360-degree wrap, like a Nissen. However, the way the fundus is tightly secured against the LES, allows for post-surgical attachments that enhance the strength of the fasteners, making for a really robust fundoplication. This assumes that there is good thickness to the esophagus, which is usually the case.
Contrast that with the Nissen. The fundus is lifted higher with the Nissen, requiring separation first from tissues like the spleen, etc. The only thing holding the Nissen in place are four, very strong sutures cinching the fundus around the esophagus, and perhaps one or two minor sutures (or a longer loop from one of the four main sutures) through the esophageal wall. There is a significant weight of the GI tract being supported by all this, requiring a long, gentle recovery time, and lifestyle changes if heavy lifting is involved. One of the advantages of the laparascopic procedure is that an oversized hiatus can be repaired, but this only prevents the surgical site from sliding upwards, not in supporting the effects of gravity.
There may be some natural attachment that goes on over time with the Nissen (or Toupet), to be sure, but not to the degree that occurs with the TIF. The fastening is different: TIF goes through the tissues, essentially folding and stapling them together, while the Nissen wraps the fundus against the esophagus from exterior sutures, pinning the wrap in place. (If you make a circle with your finger and thumb, imagine that this is the fundus. The sutures only go through the tips of your fingers.) Plus, less weight is being supported by the TIF than the Nissen, and other tissues are still in place to help with any additional load.
On the other side of the coin, the TIF surgical site is perhaps half the size of the Nissen, and not as well-equipped to prevent reflux. Hence, the Nissen outperforms the TIF slightly. There is peristaltic benefit from both procedures, but since more fundus is involved with the Nissen, it grips the lower esophagus better.
Hope this helps.

i have atypical symptoms too. and they dont want a redo nissen because my demeester is 1(october 2011), but i had over 50 episodes of reflux. i am still miserable, but they say im in normal range so no redo nissen. Now I have bile relux as well and wonder how much of that is being refluxed. i am not. what are u going to do. im scared and upset. they say normal reflux episodes are 73 i am only in 50s. whats frustrating is 9/10 and 10/11 24 hour probes say demeester is exactly the same. but i am refluxing 3 times as many times. i dont think the demeester is taking this into account..does gaviscon help you. no one ever told me about
that when do you take it. sorry your suffering. my problem was not the nissen itself its just my throat got too burned before i did anything about
it. i kept listening to a dr. who said it was nothing. now im hosed and have no hope, i feel like there is nothing that will ever help either. but i am asking for help from this board. for lpr does anyone know of anything that can stop the reflux from the throat. can they inject our throats with stem cells allowing it to heal, strengthen the upper esoph sphinter anyone get better with lpr after wrap. or anyone have a procedure get a second and get better

Hi joe --
Sorry to hear of your difficulties. I can certainly empathize!
Stem cell research into something that might become an accepted procedure, unfortunately, is so far in the future that it should not be part of your hopes. I'm not trying to be a kill-joy, just trying to frame what we have to deal with into the present.
The only way bile reflux can be diagnosed is with the impedence pH test. This test is becoming more and more difficult to find, unless you live near a large city or medical center. Is this the 24-hour test you had done? The other pH test, the Bravo, does not detect bile.
My last pH study in January measured 54 episodes during the 24 hours.
Apparently most doctors don't put much weight into DeMeester scores -- what they focus on is the % value under a pH of 4. "Normal" range is anywhere from 0 to 5%. You can find this on your test results, which you should have a copy. A correctly-done Nissen should get you at approximately 2%.
I hope you won't be discouraged by what I'm going to say. If you can tolerate PPIs, this at least gives you a safety net. If, on the other hand, you are like me, then you are going to have to manage this as best as you can. I can't really comment without knowing your % score, but it sounds like it's unlikely a redo would be of any benefit to you.
Some LPR patients, despite their insistence to the contrary, aren't actually getting either a measurable or significant amount of reflux into their airway/throat. What instead is happening is an allergic or reactive pathology that triggers nerves and muscles to sympathetically react as if they are being burned, simply by their proximity to the esophagus. Once an inflammation begins, it continues to feed itself, so to speak, as a result of the irritation. To test if this was the case with me, I was prescribed a very low dose of Nortriptyline to see if a desentizing of the nerves would decrease symptoms. I made it two doses, but I'm so sensitive to meds, that the dizziness and impairment forced me to stop. I can taste and feel the acid in my mouth in the morning, anyway, so I know that I'm not in this category.
The worst of my present symptoms are neck pains and headaches (directly attributed to stronger reflux episodes), dysphagia/borderline globus, weak vocal cords, and faux asthma.
One thing you should consider being tested for is eosinophilic esophagitis. I have a moderate form of this (which may be partly behind my symptoms, and is a reaction to the reflux and not a food allergy), and take a twice-weekly dose of a corticosteroid inhaler, that I swallow. EoE is found through biopsies, of which there should be an upper, mid, and lower taken during an endoscopy. EoE symptoms can mimic reflux.
I try to limit my exposure as best as I can. I don't really have that many trigger foods, and eat a bland diet anyway. I don't eat out, where I would be subjected to a lot of fried foods. (I'm vegetarian, btw.) I sleep on an incline, either in a recliner, or with a foam wedge in bed. The incline should be at least 10" or so. Don't use pillows, as this will cause a poor sleep posture that will actually make the reflux worse. The wedge should start from your hips/lower back, and depending upon how tall you are, you may need to build the top up with folded blankets or towels to support your pillow. I wouldn't go the route of lifting your bed frame, as it would be difficult to raise it that much, and perhaps be dangerous for pets. Plus, you'd end up sliding off the bottom.
Gaviscon is an OTC antacid, with a unique foaming property. It comes in two forms, liquid and tablet. I have tried both, and found that the tablets foam better, and coat all the way down when I swallow. I chew two before bed. The benefit probably only lasts 2-3 hours, at best, but it's one more tool to limit your exposure.
Finally, I don't eat or drink within 10 hours of bed. I know this sounds radical, and goes against conventional wisdom. But even water, in an empty stomach, will still reflux into the throat, carrying with it acid. If I chew the Gaviscon tablets on an empty stomach, there will be little or no stomach contents to dilute the antacid, and it will work more efficiently and for a longer period of time.
I'm sorry I can't give you more to go on. Unfortunately, if your Nissen is intact and functioning, and you are still experiencing atypical symptoms, any competent GI or surgeon will tell you that PPIs are your only recourse. The other pharmaceutical treatment I suggested is experimental, at this stage.
Hope something here is helpful.

bruce this is a depressing disease. my demeester is like 1. very low but it said 50 episodes of non acid reflux. that is a lot imha. demeester was the same with 20 episodes and 50. i had that multi illuminal impedance thing. they have it. the good thing is the acid pills are working. bad news is bile is sitting in my stomach coming up the doc found in endo. has found it in august last year and again tuesday. last impedance showed 51 distal episodes, but they forgot proximal. its not listed on the last probe..they forgot it 50 episodes upright. 1 recumbent. you go 10 hours without eating before bed. how do you do that. what other numbers does one look at to me 50 plus just in distal is a lot. i wonder whats in proximal and this was 5 months ago when i felt so so i bet its more now

Yes, I agree, this is a depressing disease. I only came back to this forum a couple days ago when I saw this thread. I found that I can't visit here like I did -- doing so forces me to focus on what's happening to me, and I get overwhelmed by seeing everyone else who's suffering too. I'm having an extremely difficult time emotionally right now, as I can't imagine having to live the rest of my life like this.
In your case, if you're actually having bile reflux, PPIs won't help. IMO, I think you should have your GI focus on testing your gall bladder. You shouldn't be having a large volume of bile into your stomach.
I eat a large enough meal to hold me through the afternoon and evening without getting too hungry.

Joe, is your deemster score 1 after surgery? It seems that most of us who don't get relief from typical heartburn solutions like PPIs or surgery have LPR/ upright reflux. I wish more research was done for us...the atypical group. Sometimes I wish I had typical GERD so it could be resolved with PPIs or the Nissen would stop this cold.
For me there's still hope.....I still believe 4 weeks is still early and there's time for things to get settled before thinking the surgery wasn't a success. My surgeon thinks everything went well. He said he even found a sliding hernia which he repaired. Let's just wait and see I suppose.....

If you look at the studies I have posted on this board previously, you will see that PH monitoring for GERD/LPR is highly controversial. There is no baseline on which to measure the PH scores, and many healthy adults with no reflux have worse scores than people with massive GERD/LPR. I am not a doctor or a researcher, but these PH studies look like "sleep studies" to me: time consuming and expensive procedures that make doctors wealthy, but do little for the patient.
Maybe more research is needed ...
I think LPR is an immunological and mechanical problem: in my case, my immune system simply doesn't function properly. It is in overdrive 24-7, due to environmental allergies, and a host of other factors. An extreme immune response creates inflammation and swelling, and this inflammation can interfere with the mechanical processes our body depends on. Example: swelling in the maxillary sinus tissue causes blockage, and this leads to other systemic problems.
Other mechanical problems are hiatal hernia: that will certainly cause issues with acid and bile coming up into the esophagus. This has very little to do with PH levels or acid amount: it is a digestive abnormality that might require surgery to fix.
Now the surgeries scare me: not being able to burp or vomit just sounds really bad, and I can see that leading to all kinds of other health issues. It could even be fatal if you are accidentally poisoned. Surgery would be absolutely the last resort for me. My friend had a fundo from one of the best surgeons in the midwest and could only drink protein shakes for 10 months afterwards. He was in constant pain--no thanks.

Over 9 years I had 5 endoscopies and they all showed very few or no problems. The GI doctors did not think that I needed anything else. When I complained to my allergist about
the bad taste in my mouth he said that an endoscopy will show over half of the people with significant reflux looking normal with nothing to eat or drink for 12 hours and laying on the table.
I then went to the Heart Burn Clinic at my local hospital and had the ambulatory pH test even though my endoscopies looked good. My DeMeester was 28 and I had the TIF procedure a few weeks later. Four months after my surgery I had a second pH test and my DeMeester was 5.8. I am off all reflux medicines and I can eat a normal diet. I do not have the bad taste in my mouth, I am not drinking constantly and am much improved.

My wife went in and had her gallbladder removed and the Tif done as well at the same time on Tuesday, now today she is experiencing swelling in her hands and feet plus she is starting to run a slightly high fever. She has her follow up with our primary tomorrow but was wondering if I should call now with these things that came up?

Hey Everyone,
If you don't mind me asking, what towers your manometry results?
Also, are any of you in the NYC area? I'm being treated by Dr. Koufman for my LPR, and despite some occasional burning in the morning, all my symptoms have pretty much disappeared.
Feel Good,

VATICAN CITY, June 27 (UPI) -- The Vatican announced Friday that Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, former papal envoy to the Dominican Republic, has been found guilty of child sexual abuse and was defrocked.
"From this moment, the accused has two months in which to make an eventual appeal. The penal trial before the Vatican judicial authorities will continue as soon as the canonical sentence has been made definitive," the Vatican said in a statement.
Wesolowski, originally from Poland, was ordained a priest by Pope John Paul II and served as papal envoy to the Dominican Republic for five years. He was recalled by the church last year following accusations that he had abused boys while stationed in Santo Domingo.
The Vatican tribunal followed a recommendation by the United Nations Committee Against Torture in May for the Holy See to "proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation of Archbishop Wesolowski."
Pope Francis has emphasized his "zero tolerance" approach to clergy sexual abuse.

But what if those same tools could be employed by democratic governments mobilizing citizens to achieve positive ends?
The idea of publicizing a criminal suspect's likeness and offering a reward for his capture is centuries old, and it's the entire premise behind mainstream media productions like America's Most Wanted.
"But the incentives behind that are very plain. If you happen to spot the bad guy, you might get some money," said Miguel Cebrian, an MIT and UC San Diego researcher who co-led the winning team.
Very creepy. I can see this being used by the AC to track down Trib saints.

Elbert, Miller have polarized debuts
Elbert, Miller have polarized debuts
DENVER -- Recent relief callups Scott Elbert and Justin Miller made their 2010 Dodgers debuts on Saturday night with completely opposite results. Elbert, a former No. 1 pick who was promoted specifically to counter Colorado's left-handed hitters, walked three of them while retiring only two of six batters and spent the postgame watching video to figure out his mechanical flaws. "That wasn't too good," manager Joe Torre said. "He has to get straightened out. He was better two years ago. He's spinning sideways on everything."
Miller, however, retired all four batters he faced after inheriting Elbert's bases-loaded mess. It was his first Major League appearance since last year's shoulder surgery. "I'll take it," he said. "It's always good to get the first one out of the way."
The Dodgers returned Elbert to Triple-A Albuquerque after Sunday's game and recalled right-handed reliever Travis Schlichting.

Israeli troops "end" Gaza raid as Palestinians fire Qassam rockets on Israeli town
Israeli soldiers reportedly moved out of a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Gaza on Saturday night, the army said, ending a two-day raid that killed 11 Palestinians and wounded dozens, the largest Israeli military operation since Yasser Arafat's death last month.
Meanwhile, two Qassam rockets were fired at the southern Israeli town of Sderot on Sunday morning. As a result, three people were lightly wounded by shrapnel and a number of others suffered from shock when one of the rockets hit a main intersection in the town.
A short time later, Palestinians fired a third Qassam rocket at a settlement in the area, according to Israeli press reports. A chicken coop was seriously damaged in the attack.
Palestinians also fired a mortar shell at a settlement in the northern Gaza Strip and opened fire on "Ganei Tal" in southern Gaza Strip. There were no casualties in either of these two incidents, the reports said.

WASHINGTON, July 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly adopted a symbolic resolution that would prevent the U.S. military from establishing permanent bases in Iraq.
Republicans offered little resistance to the resolution, which was sponsored by Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., The New York Times reported.
By a 399-24 vote, the measure passed with language limiting federal spending "to establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq or to exercise United States economic control of the oil resources of Iraq."
Republican House leader John Boehner of Ohio called the resolution meaningless theatrics.
"The bill brought to the floor by the majority today represents yet another political stunt and an intellectually dishonest one at that because the United States has never proposed establishing a permanent base in Iraq or anywhere else," Boehner said.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|The "Prediction of Alcohol Withdrawal Severity Scale" (PAWSS): Development and Psychometric Characteristics of a New Scale for the Prediction of Complicated Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome.
- Complicated alcohol withdrawal [ Time Frame: During the first 72 hours after admission. ]Complicated withdrawal will be defined as patients meeting criteria for complicated or severe withdrawal according to DSM-IV-Tr, a CIWA-Ar score > or = to 15, or experiencing severe symptoms requiring the use of benzodiazepine agents for symptom management.
- Amount of benzodiazepines administered [ Time Frame: During the first 72 hours after admission. ]
- Transfer to ICU due to severe AWS [ Time Frame: During the first 5 days after admission. ]
- Development of delirium [ Time Frame: During the first 72 hours after admission. ]
- Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days. ]
|Study Start Date:
|May 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The investigators plan to study the psychometric properties of a new tool, the "Prediction of Alcohol Withdrawal Severity Scale" (PAWSS) on predicting the risk for the development of complicated AWS (i.e., seizures, delirium tremens) in hospitalized medically ill patients. This tool was developed through an extensive literature review which identified evidence-based predictors for AWS.
The scale consists of three portions relating to 1) an initial screening (threshold items), 2) patient's history of alcohol use and its consequences, and 3) measures of BAL and autonomic function. The investigators predict that a scale score 4 or greater will be associated with a high risk for the development of complicated AWS.
Patients will undergo examination with the PAWSS within 24 hours of hospital admission. Thereafter, all patients will undergo daily examinations with the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol, revised (CIWA) and the Alcohol Withdrawal Severity scale (AWS scale) in order to measure the primary outcomes of the study, that is, the development and severity (i.e., moderate to severe) of AWS during the first 72-hours after admission. The study is designed to study the tool's psychometric properties including its validity and inter-rater reliability.
By providing clinicians with a tool (i.e., PAWSS) that allows them to correctly predict who will develop complicated AWS it will enable them to prophylax (i.e., preventively treat) patients at risk and thus decrease patients' morbidity and mortality, shorten length of hospital stay, minimize the significant burden on the nursing and medical staff, and improve overall patient care.

Tram 13 puts on a healthy colour
The right track for WHO
9 January 2006 | Geneva - Tram 13 of the Geneva Public Transport Authority (TPG), which runs from Palette to the Place des Nations, proudly wears the colours of WHO. An innovative partnership has brought together the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Cercle Diplomatique, Genève in a campaign to inform and raise awareness of the role played by WHO in controlling communicable diseases in general and epidemics in particular.
The mandate of WHO is to promote and protect health throughout the world in collaboration with its 192 member countries. WHO monitors emerging diseases such as SARS, avian and pandemic human influenza, haemorrhagic fevers such as Marburg and Ebola and countless other diseases including malaria, polio, AIDS and tuberculosis. The Organization's role is to monitor the emergence and development of these health events, to detect and analyse them and to carry out the necessary measures for their containment, with the aim of reducing suffering and saving human lives.
"To achieve this goal, WHO cooperates with a very broad network of partners and institutions. Because Geneva is the Headquarters of WHO, we wanted to give the inhabitants of our host country a glimpse of what we do" says Dr Michael Ryan, Director of the Department of Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response.
Between 2002 and 2005, WHO detected and checked over 760 alerts with high epidemic potential in 138 countries. In 70 cases, international assistance was required, entailing the deployment of around 50 multi-disciplinary and international teams brought together in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, which is run by WHO.
WHO has a staff of 2400 from all the continents at Geneva. Six thousand others work in the Organization's 147 country and regional offices.
"This advertising campaign is an opportunity for WHO staff to present themselves to the people of Geneva and to show part of what they do. Even if health-related topics might seem dull to some people and scare others, our aim is to build bridges between the people of Geneva and WHO staff" says Mr Robert Blum, President of the Cercle Diplomatique, Genève, a club to which some hundred members of the diplomatic corps and leading figures from the world of politics, economics and culture belong.
This campaign was made possible by the financial participation of several donors including Losinger Construction, MSC Cruises, Gemeco Evènements, Action Peintures, Radio Lac and Mathis SA.
The tram's official inauguration will take place on 10 January 2006 between 10.30 and 11.30 a.m. at the Place des Nations in the presence of representatives of the City of Geneva, the Diplomatic Circle, TPG and WHO.

Tagged: font, footer, line breaks, top menu
My problem is on Schollerstaal.demo.sorenwiller.dk/wp
I have made various changes to the page. And now I have a problem. The copyrighted text is suddenly to "long" and make line breaks. The same also applies to text in the footer and the top menu.
I want it back as original. I have compared virtually all HTML text to sorenwiller.dk (same theme) without finding the problem. Can you help me?
Nobody? :-(
What changes did you do prior to this issue? Did you change anything on footer.php?
Hi Ismael
Thanks for reply
I have moved around the size of the font on almost all codes. But I have moved them back to their original size. And double checked with a theme that I know works .. Everything is as it should be. what have I done wrong and how do I fix the problem. I assume that's where the problem is. I really hope you can help me. I can no longer find any solution.
Incidentally I have a warning from the system .. I do not know if this is where the problem is.
I thought it were not so important and expect to find a solution to just that problem later … But can you answer me in that too, I'll be really glad. Otherwise, I will come right back with it if I cannot find a solution.
Just so you know. ;-)
The warning says:
Warning: gzdecode(): data error in /home/sorenwil/public_html/schollerstaal.demo/wp/wp-config.php(1) : runtime-created function(1) : eval()'d code on line 29
Thanks in advance
Not moved the size in all codes, just in style 1, 2, and 3.
Please contact your host, ask them to enable zlib output compression on your PHP
Thanks Ismael. I hope it's work

The family of Johnny Sharp wishes to publicly thank St. Mary's Hospice House for their excellent care (Story, "Man welcomes surprise visit from horses," March 13). The entire staff was so attentive, professional, caring and supportive.
Johnny was indeed pleased to know that Suzanne Hughes, a registered nurse and care coordinator, had Paso Fino horses; he knew immediately he was in good hands.
Our family became part of the hospice family and were treated with kindness and respect.
We do not doubt that their care will continue as they embrace other patients with dignity in a beautiful, peaceful setting.

The Wyoming Legislature recently held a joint committee meeting to tackle the question of the role in government in pre-kindergarten education.
Representative John Patton attended a meeting between the Education Committee the House Labor, Health and Social Services Committee.
In an interview with Public Pulse host, Kim Love, Patton points out many different governmental agencies are involved in early childhood education, and expressed reservations about the extent of the state's involvement.
Patton seemed concerned about the state's encroachment into private family life.

HUNTINGTON The main purpose of the Utah Mine Safety Commission's second formal meeting here Tuesday was to give members of the public a chance to voice their opinions and offer suggestions on how to make coal mining safer.
Both miners and residents took full advantage.
The eight-member panel heard from numerous presenters during the all-day session, including mining professionals with years of experience working in and around Utah coal mines. Local miners and citizens alike expressed their gratitude for allowing them the chance to speak out.
Lee Cratsenburg, a coal miner for 19 years, lost a relative in the Aug. 6 Crandall Canyon Mine collapse. She openly questioned whether the mine company followed proper safety standards.
"If the regulations would have been met at Crandall Canyon, I don't think the lives would have been lost that we did lose," she said. "Anytime coal becomes king, regulations seem to go under the rug."
Cratsenburg implored the commission to somehow ensure mine operators strictly adhere to safety standards, saying she wouldn't hesitate to sign up to go back into the mines if she knew they were less dangerous.
Two men who identified themselves as longtime miners suggested the panel talk to the mechanics and engineers who construct the safety walls and roof supports inside the mines. Getting their input might offer some helpful insights on how best to prevent future disasters, they said.
Among others who addressed the commission was retired miner Warren Oviatt, who is worried about the potential negative impacts too much regulation could have on the mining industry in Utah.
"As you look at some of the laws we've got, you can see how some of them are kind of ridiculous," Oviatt said.
He added the commission should try to look for ways to enhance safety without putting too many restraints on mine operators so their businesses can remain viable. He said focusing on enforcement of already existing laws is one way to improve safety.
"We need to make sure that rules and regulations are what we can look upon as something that all individuals involved feel like they need to follow and need to obey," he said.
Echoing his sentiments were members of the Emery County Board of Commissioners. Board chairman Drew Sitterud said safety is their utmost concern, too, but said any action must be based on common sense. He told the Mine Safety Commission to do whatever it could to make mining safer but not to put regulations on top of regulations that would cripple the industry.
Sitterud said one of the things that concerns him is the emotional response resulting from the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster. He told the panel not to allow that emotion to cloud their judgment.
"Use your head. Help the miners, don't hurt them," he said. "Listen to these miners, help them do what they need to do."
Some speakers focused on the importance of continuing education and training for improving mine safety. Allen Childs now heads an engineering firm but spent more than 20 years in mining, including nine years as foreman for what is now the Crandall Canyon Mine. He said safety should be the obligation of every person involved in mining from top-level executives to entry-level employees.
"Nobody is responsible for their health and safety but them. We need to have the most effective way of when we train people we have a response, not just a nod of the head. We need to have some way of measuring that," he said.
Training should not be just a once-a-year opportunity, he said. It should be done on a daily basis using quantifiable methods.
Allen said one of the goals of any mining operation should be to develop a culture of safety and reporting deficiencies when they are noticed. He said promoting a "safety-first" attitude could go a long way toward making individual mine operations safer.
He also talked about reducing barriers to a safe working environment. Noting many mine employees in Utah are immigrants, he said operators should do their best to help those workers understand their obligations and the company's responsibilities to them. He said the same would go for any employee no matter what their particular challenge might be.Comment on this story
One of the other topics that drew interest from the commission was the dwindling number of Utahns who are taking up mining as a career. Carl Pollastro, director of technical services and project development for Interwest Mining Co. said a huge percentage of the state's mining workforce will be ready to retire in the next ten years and there are not enough people currently in the pipeline to replace them.
"The resources that are needed to develop electrical generation are going to be ongoing for the next thirty years in this area at least. So we need to have someone to take their place and mine that fuel," Pollastro said.The panel's next public meeting will be held Tuesday, Oct. 2, at the College of Eastern Utah in Price.

Tandems East Expo
Rachel and I had the chance to take the drive over to NJ for the Tandems East Expo on Sunday. I needed some tires and just wanted to get my tandem fix. Last year was our first visit, it started out being a Sunday Drive and ended-up with us driving home with our Bushnell. To this day Rachel still accuses me of having that planned to whole time!
It was a great event with bikes running from entry level to separate line-ups of Co-motions, Da Vincis and Cannondales. My favorite was a row of 5 or 6 bikes ranging from 10 to 11K 4 Calfees and a Seven.
We missed Saturday which is when they had the various information seminars and as per usual it looked like they had some good sessions. Because of time and distance we didn't bring our bike but several teams were there for the rides and it was fun seeing their bikes.
It is we worth the drive next year if you get the chance.
We were there on Saturday. Drove 5 hours, down from snowy Syracuse, NY. It was a great day and got to ride a few bikes since it was a warm 68 degree afternoon.
Headed for home after placing an order for a new Kandy Oriental Blue, Da Vinci Design, In-2-ition road bike! :) Added a few upgrades such as a front disc brake, Campagnolo Chorus shifters which gives us 4 front chain rings and a 11-34 rear cassette.
Thank You Mel and Barbara, owners of Tandems East!!!
Now comes the hard part, the waiting and figuring what to do with my old Co-Motion tandem.
All daVincis come with 4 chainrings (really 4 cogs)!
Enjoy the ride TWOgether!
Rudy and Kay/zonatandem
We stand corrected . . .
Like you can order the daV without the independent coasting . . .
We wish we could of made it this year. I think we will make it a must go to for next year.
My worry is that I will want one of everything!
Me too!! That's why the wife carries the check book.
According to Mel at Tandems East, there was an example of the long-awaited 2014 Cannondale RT-2 on display at the show.
I guess you all missed that.:rolleyes:

LOS ANGELES — I'd be hard pressed to name a single contemporary Chinese literary writer. Yu Jie, who made headlines recently after leaving China in light of increased pressure and mistreatment from the state, is certainly one of the most prominent names in the West. But Chinese writers, especially younger ones, seem to escape attention outside China. This is likely to the language gap, which is particularly pronounced when dealing with high literary language.
So I was happy to hear about Pathlight magazine, an English-language literary magazine that aims to bring contemporary Chinese literature into the English-speaking world. Produced by Paper Republic and People's Literature Magazine (人民文学杂志), it features translations of contemporary writers in fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
Shanghai-based arts writer Rachel Marsden's recent post turned me on to the magazine. She took some time to interview English-language managing editor Alice Xin Liu, who gave a lecture with Paper Republic founder Eric Abrahamsen recently at Shanghai's Royal Asiatic Society. In addition to identifying the language gap as a significant barrier to learning about Chinese literature, Liu sheds light on the challenges publishers face in finding writers born after the Cultural Revolution:
What they should want are the generation who are getting into their 30s, born after the Cultural Revolution so they have a different perspective, but it's hard to find as they are not well know … it is hard to give them a name … such as writer Di An. It is also logistically hard to get hold of writers, as some don't respond to emails or are busy with "official duties."
Indeed, Marsden's blog also points to good news: the second edition of Pathlight, which is being prepared for the 2012 London Book Conference, will also be available in electronic format for free. For now, distribution is limited, but the first edition of Pathlight can be purchased from Amazon.cn for 40 yuan, or just under $10.

In another sign that our healthcare industry is soon to be just another arm of the Democrat Party, Chicago are Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky thinks it's a great idea if doctors unionize.
This will completely end any chance that doctors will care about patients. They will instead become just another uncaring, slipshod union hack that won't much care about the excellence of his work because he's protected by union rules. Patients will no longer matter.

Editorial - You can help turn the tide against zebra mussel invasion
News that zebra mussels were found in Lake Victoria isn't all that shocking. Because the mussels were found in other lakes on the chain, many thought it would only be a matter of time before this threat deepened its invasion.
It shouldn't be that way. Now is not the time for complacency.
It's time for action. This is a war we've got to win, one with very high stakes on the line - the quality of not just lakes in our area but throughout the entire state.
Some seem to feel that there's nothing we can do about invasive threats like zebra mussels, Eurasion watermilfoil, curly leaf pondweed and such. The problem is too hard to contain, they say, that it isn't that big of a deal, that it'd be too expensive.
That's like giving up without a fight.
There are things that can be done. But it will take a united, concentrated effort from everyone - lake associations, local governments, the state, boat owners, businesses, sportsmen and everyday Minnesotans - to turn the tide.
The Minnesota Seasonal Recreational Property Owners Association submitted an excellent commentary on the topic that was printed in the January 13 issue of the Star Tribune. The association pointed out that state funding in the battle against aquatic invasive species (AIS) hovers at about $4 million annually. That's a paltry amount in the state's $30 billion budget, especially when the vitality of our lakes is at stake.
It gets worse. There is no coordinated plan among agencies and no reliable funding for the future. Law enforcement is inadequately trained in AIS issues (not necessarily here, but statewide) and the penalties, according to the association, are "woefully lax." An example: Someone who is caught poaching deer faces fines of thousands of dollars, perhaps even jail time. Someone who carelessly transports zebra mussels into another lake - which can cost potentially billions of dollars - faces a slap on the wrist.
Lake associations are trying to win this war. But they can't do it alone. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources should be on the front lines of this but it's not doing enough. With a budget of more than $900 million for 2010-2011, it should divert more attention, more funding, more resources to keeping lakes free from AIS.
The money is there. In the last two years, the state has collected $457 million through a voter-approved sales tax increase known as the Legacy Amendment, which is partly earmarked to protect lakes. The war against zebra mussels and other AIS should be priority number one.
All Minnesotans need to make it clear to their local and state leaders that invasive threats to our lakes must be contained and mitigated. There are promising signs: At candidate forums sponsored by the League of Women Voters, the AIS threat ranked second on a list of priorities, trailing only budget topics.
There's still time to win this war. It will take a genuine commitment from the Legislature. It should enact laws this session that aggressively address the AIS problem. More funding must be directed toward research, awareness and enforcement.
As the Minnesota Seasonal Recreational Property Owners Association pointed out: All who love our lakes should join this chorus. The association ended its plea with this chilling statement: "If we don't act now, we will soon look back and tell our children about a time when it was possible to swim in Minnesota's lakes without getting tangled in milfoil or lacerated by zebra mussel shells."
Echo Press editorials are the position of the newspaper's editorial board, which includes Jody Hanson, publisher; Al Edenloff, editor; and news reporter, Celeste Beam.

Sunderland summer recruit Papy Djilobodji hopes to establish himself as a regular under David Moyes.
The Senegal international, who joined in a reported £8million deal from Chelsea, made his debut against Middlesbrough last weekend and played the full 90 minutes on Wednesday as Sunderland saw off Shrewsbury in the EFL Cup.
Boss Moyes has conceded that ideally he would have waited before bringing Djilobodji into his team but injuries have forced his hand.
However, the defender has stressed he is "ready to play" for Sunderland and kick-start his career in England after failing to force his way into the Chelsea side.
Djilobodji said: "When I came here, I was ready to play and do my best for Sunderland, and I am so happy to work with Sunderland and with the coach. Now I am looking forward to winning a lot of games.
"I want to to my job and if I can do well, it's going to be good. I feel good and all the lads feel good. We need the players who are injured to come back and help the team, and we will improve."

Review for Family Outreach Richardson-Plano Inc, Plano, TX, USA
I have volunteered for Family Outreach for over 10 years and I keep coming back. Presently I mentor a family which needs help obtaining resources such as food stamps, Texas Assistance to Needy Families, counseling and more. Consistency and emotional support along with limited financial help is also provided. I have served in various administrative jobs. This agency's mission is child abuse prevention. No cause could be more important. The other volunteers are wonderful people with whom to work.

- Blood Pressure Monitor for Women
Frequent blood pressure monitoring is essential if you want to get this "silent killer" under control.
Aside from regular exercise and a sensible nutritional plan, daily monitoring is the most important routine you can have when trying to control your blood pressure.
Think about it...when you want to control your weight, you monitor your weight with a scale. Why not do the same with a blood pressure monitor?
But, you're concerned about the accuracy of your unit. You also want to be able to carry your monitor easily when you travel.
The Women's HealthSmart Blood Pressure Monitor does just that.
Light, curvy, and easy to read, the HealthSmart is the perfect to easily and accurately monitor your blood pressure.
Note the large, easy to read display and the large, simple controls. You literally just strap the cuff onto your arm and push the button. That's it!
As you know, we are very selective about the products we carry. This HealthSmart Blood Pressure Monitor was selected from a group of 11 monitors that we tried ourselves. We think this is a winner, and you will too.
Why do we like it?
It's very light and easy to carry around (carrying case included)
Stores up to 120 measurements with date and time stamps (a lot of blood pressure monitors we saw did not have a date/time stamp!)
No complicated add-ons or extra pieces to buy
Our supply of these great blood pressure monitors is very limited. So grab one while we still have them!
Included in the box:
Blood pressure monitor with cuff (fits arm circumference 11 3/4" to 16 1/2")
Carrying case
Instructions in Spanish and English
Guide to help you track your blood pressure over time
Five Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty

Smokey and federal spooks will be after the only profitable crop grown in our national forests. Remember: No permit required, no EIS, no ESA clearance, no limitation on size or seasons of use. No wonder its profitable.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003.

Obsidian Entertainment - MCA Interview @ Kotaku AU
A week or so back Kotaku AU invited readers to submit questions for Chris Avellone. The results are now up and they're pretty good for a community Q&A. Here's a sample:
Chris, you've worked on a bunch of games that have been cancelled (Van Buren, Torn) or had lots of content cut out (KOTOR2). How do you handle it when something you've worked on for months or years ends up being released in an imcomplete state or not released at all?
You drink, sigh, and move on. I actually got numb to it early on in my career (Monte Cook, an editor at Hero Games, would routinely reject my submissions I'd spent months or years on, and he was right to do so because they sucked – I also had ten module proposals to Dungeon all rejected one after the other), so it wasn't too bad when it started happening at work. The only time it really hurt was Fallout 3, because that game felt like it had the potential to be better than Torment, and when I was working on it, I could feel the inner creativity "sing" because it felt like everything was clicking into place.
Also, as a consolation prize, you find you can usually transfer design elements from one game to the other in terms of systems or new uses for characters that you did for the "flushed" design that you can use later on.

Wakemakers Customer Service
Hey Folks
Order the X-Link system and two 1100 bags with the dual drain system on April the 19th. Have since sold my 750's and have been patiently waiting for my new gear to arrive. Two weeks after ordering, I followed up on the status of the order and was told they have the X-link, but were waiting for the bags from Fly High. A couple more calls over the last two weeks and I am told they are "on the truck" and "they should be in our next shipment" etc...
I have a couple issues:
1. If you don't have an item in stock - DON'T show it as available on your website and tell me on the phone that's what I should order. If I knew that bags weren't going to be available for a while, I wouldn't have been so quick to sell my 750's
2. If the product is going to be delayed - get me an honest answer about when it will be available for shipping. Giving me false hope doesn't make me feel any better.
Maybe I am being a bit impatient, but a month seems like a long time when the ice has finally gotten off the lakes up here and you have a boat with no ballast
Anyone else had this problem with Wakemakers?

Reading what you all are making for gifts on this and other forums makes me feel like I should turn in my sewing machine. I had plans to make every family member (22) a personalized stocking when I got caught up in the Black Friday shopping frenzy, and about a week later cut it down to 8 (kids only) and now wondering if I will get one made - special request cheetah fab from daughter.
I have all the (excuses) reasons for not being able to accomplish this but don't want to be that person because in my mind, I know, that if I don't at least make the 8 no matter what other (replacement) wonderful gifts they receive instead on Christmas Eve I will mentally chastize myself because I know I would have felt more like Mrs Claus if I had given them the handmade stockings. I bought really cute fabric and coordinating ribbon with glitter glue and colored bells and actually thought of returning it all until I looked at it all yesterday and immediately brightened up. Sigh. I hate when I hate myself.
The biggest thing is daughter and 1 year old grandson live here and 19 year old son and I can't very well ignore him (the kids are much easier to ignore )to sew and my sewing room has been temporarily converted into his bedroom and the kitchen is off that and turning on that light in the wee hours of the morning before I leave for work wakes him and 5 a.m. is a bit too early for him to be waking.
So those of you who have chaotic schedules and younger people around - how do you do it? When do you do it? Any ideas of how to get this fun done? I went to the Disney store but they were sold out of Pixie Dust so I guess I'm on my own.

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
The folks at Nintendo, Giant Robot, and Iam8bit Productions sure know how to throw a good video-game launch party. Even though the DJ's music was bumping at, "What did you say? I can't hear anything!" levels, it was still golden since all of the Rhythm Heaven: Fever kiosks had headphones.
Everything I said about this simple, charming, and addictive music game for the Wii back in my E3-trade-show preview of the Japanese version definitely holds true with this ($30 budget price) North American release.
As for the actual launch event, it's best to show you in pictures how fun it was:
They had a photo station with props based on the game and free printing.
Artist Yoskay Yamamoto did a live-painting interpretation of one of the game's stages. He later tagged his name on a nearby wall.
Artist Mari Inukai created this piece, featuring the game's golf-caddy chimp, during the evening as well.
Recipe for a successful free T-shirt: cute graphics and sizes besides XXL. Double check.
Thankfully, our friend in the Nintendo Power tracksuit left his Power Gloves at home.
These might not be Beats by Dre headphones, but they much have a higher cool-to-bourgeois ratio.

E Visa
The E category visa is useful for foreign business persons, investors, managers, and employees who need to stay in the United States for extended periods of time to oversee: 1) an enterprise that is engaged in trade between the United States and a foreign country; or 2) a major investment in the United States.
We assist individual foreign investors and foreign companies with U.S. subsidiaries applying for and obtain E class visas. If you would like to find out if you may qualify for an E visa and would like a free consultation please contact us.
Who Qualifies for an E Class Visa
In order to qualify for an E category visa, the visa must be available pursuant to a treaty between the United States and the foreign national's country, the E applicant must have the same nationality of the foreign trading or investing company, and the requirements of the particular E category must be met. The E visa is valid for an initial period of two years and is renewable.
The E1 Visa
The latter category is referred to as the E1 Treaty Trader visa. In order to qualify for the E1 visa requires that the foreign national trading company must be engaged in substantial trade principally with the United States.
The E2 Visa
The second category is referred to as the E2 visa. This visa is reserved for aliens who have an active and substantial investment in the United States that is not marginal.

Rogers said other releases may contain the critical Heartbleed flaw as well.
