An adjustable human back and lumbar support for use with a chair having an upwardly extending back and a defined seat. The support includes a strip of flexible sheet material with a pocket for mounting an upper end of the strip at an upper part of the chair back to hold the strip against downward movement and webbing secured lengthwise of the strip to inhibit elongation of the strip. The strip is of a length to extend along and over the seat of the chair but so arranged that a back part of the strip is spaced forwardly, clear of the back of the chair along its length from the pocket to the seat portion. The back of a person sitting on the support is supported by the strip between the seat and the upper part of the back, rather than by the chair back itself, from which the strip is spaced. Hips and lower back of the sitter are urged to roll forwardly.
1. In combination with a chair having an upwardly extending back and a defined seat having a front area spaced from said back, an adjustable human back and lumbar support comprising a strip of flexible sheet material; means mounting an upper end of said strip positively at an upper portion of said back against downward movement of said strip, and means inhibiting elongation of said strip, said strip extending along and over said seat far enough to be engaged by a buttocks of a person seated on said seat, said strip tending from said mounting means at the upper end of said strip in a continuously forwardly and outwardly spaced relation to and entirely clear of contact with said back at any point from said mounting means to said seat front area, whereby a back of said person is supported by said strip between said seat front area and the mounted upper end of said strip.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said strip is made of cloth and said means for inhibiting elongation comprise webs sewn to the back of said strip in a lengthwise direction.
3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said means for mounting said strip comprise an open-bottomed pocket sized to fit over a top of a back of said chair.
4. The combination of claim 1 wherein said strip is made of brushed nylon with a thin backing of foamed polymer.
5. The combination of claim 1 wherein said chair is a wheelchair having handles, and said means for mounting comprise loops secured to said strip and extending around said handles.
6. The method of supporting the human and lumbar region of a person sitting on a chair with a back and a defined seat, comprising mounting at an upper portion of said chair back an upper part of an elongated, generally rectangular strip of flexible material positively against movement lengthwise of said strip with respect to said upper part, extending said strip in a continuously forwardly and outwardly spaced relation to and entirely clear of contact with said back at any point from said mounted upper part to said seat and extending said strip along a forward area of said seat, and sitting on a part of said strip along said seat while maintaining said strip spaced from said back continuously below said mounted upper part of said strip, and inhibiting said strip against elongation.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the chair is a wheelchair with handles, the strip has attached to it loops positioned to be mounted on the handles, and the method includes mounting said loops on said handles.
This application is a continuation in part of U.S. Ser. No. 08/611,720 Mar. 6, 1996 now abandoned, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Not Applicable.
Many tasks, such as typing, working at a computer, operating an industrial sewing machine, and the like, require sitting for long periods of time, and this leads to fatigue and back pain. Sitting for prolonged times at meetings and gatherings on folding chairs, also leads to discomfort. Persons confined to wheelchairs often suffer from back pain.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a support for the back and lumbar regions that is simple and adapted to use with existing chairs or seats, including automobile and truck seats and wheelchairs, all of which are embraced within the scope of the term "chair" as used herein.
Another object is to provide a method of supporting the human back and lumbar region on a chair in a more comfortable posture than is possible with most chairs, particularly straight backed chairs with a defined seat.
Other objects will become apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of the following description and accompanying drawing.
In accordance with this invention, generally stated, an adjustable human back and lumbar support for use with a chair having an upwardly extending back and a defined seat is provided, which comprises a strip of flexible sheet material, means for mounting positively an upper end of the strip at an upper portion of the back of the chair against downward movement of the strip, and means for inhibiting elongation of the strip. The strip is of a length to extend along and over the seat of the chair sufficiently far to be engaged by the buttocks of a person seated on the seat, with the strip tending in outwardly spaced relation to the back in the direction of the seat. The use of the strip provides a method of supporting the back and lumbar region which includes sitting on a part of the strip along the seat while maintaining the strip spaced from the back of the chair below the mounted upper part of the strip.
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a chair equipped with one embodiment of support of this invention;
FIG. 1A is a somewhat schematic view, in side elevation, showing the support as it is intended to be used;
FIG. 2 is a view in front elevation of the support removed from the chair;
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the support as shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view top plan view;
FIG. 5 is a view side elevation;
FIG. 6 is a view in rear elevation;
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line 7--7 of FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a view taken along the line 8--8 of FIG. 6.
FIG. 9 is a view in rear elevation of another embodiment of support of this invention;
FIG. 10 is a view in front elevation of the support shown in FIG. 9;
FIG. 11 is a view in side elevation of a wheelchair equipped with the embodiment of support of this invention shown in FIGS. 9 and 10; and
FIG. 12 is a view along the line 12--12 of FIG. 11, partly in section and partly fragmentary.
Referring now to the drawing for one illustrative embodiment of this invention, reference numeral 1 indicates a support which, in FIGS. 1 and 1A, is shown as mounted on a chair 2 with a back 5 and a defined seat 7. The seat 7 has a front or forward area 8, spaced from the chair back 5. By defined seat, is meant a seat the dimensions and outline of which are clearly defined, as distinguished, for example, from certain types of canvas lawn chairs, in which a single strip forms a back and seat, neither of which is defined until someone sits in the chair, and then they are defined by the size and weight of the person sitting.
Support 1 includes a strip 10, with a seat area 12 and a back area 14. A mounting pocket 16, in this embodiment, has a front panel 18, one piece with the back area 14 of the strip, a rear panel 20 and a bridging side panel 22 extending between the front panel 18 and the rear panel 20, connecting the two. In this embodiment reinforcing tapes 23 extending along the side panel on both sides of the strip and the front and rear panels, serve to prevent or inhibit splitting along the lower edge of the side panel.
Preferably the strip 10 is made of brushed nylon with a foam backing 26. The foam backing can be a thin sheet of polyurethane, secured to the brushed nylon, or any other suitable material. It serves both to give body and at least a slight resilience to the nylon, and also to keep the strip in place on the chair seat. Furthermore, it will hold to a hook portion of a hook and loop fastener, e.g. Velcro.
Strips of webbing 28 of substantial width are fastened to the back of the strip 10 by means of stitching 30. These strips of webbing serve to prevent or inhibit stretching of the strip.
The strip, and the lower edges of the side panel and rear panel can be hemmed, as shown in 32.
When a mounting pocket 16 is used, it can be made to a size and shape to accommodate any chair back. In an automotive seat, for example, it can be shaped and sized to receive a head rest. Alternatively, the strip can be secured at its upper end by Velcro (hook and loop type) strips, or any other suitable means for positively holding the upper end of the strip against movement lengthwise of the strip with respect to the held upper end.
As can be appreciated, handles can be attached to the top part of the pocket and to the lower edge of the seat area of the strip to facilitate carrying and to permit the strip to be used as a carrier. Pouches to receive books or any other article likely to be of use in meetings and the like can be attached to the back panel permanently or, with the use of Velcro or the like, temporarily.
Referring now to FIGS. 9-11 for a second illustrative embodiment, reference numeral 50 indicates a wheelchair, with handles 51, a back 55 and a seat 57, the seat 57 having a front area 58. A support 53 mounted on the wheelchair is made up of a strip 60 with a seat area 62 and a back area 64. At the upper end of the back area, the strip has a laterally extending, reinforced head piece 68 which extends beyond the side edges of the rest of the strip 60. Handle loops 73 are attached securely to the outer edges of the head piece 68. The handle loops 73 are mounted around the handles 51, as indicated in FIGS. 11 and 12. A broad length of webbing 78 extends from the head piece down the center of the back area of the strip 60, the webbing being wide enough to span most of the width of the back of a person sitting in the wheelchair.
As shown particularly in FIGS. 1A, and 11, in use, the strip is mounted on or at the upper end of the chair back or head rest, or, in the case of the wheelchair illustrated in FIG. 11, on or around handles, positively against movement in the longitudinal direction of the strip. In the embodiment shown, the strip is mounted by means of the pocket, and the seat part of the strip is placed on the seat of the chair, with the back part 14 of the strip spaced from the back of the chair or from the plane in which the back would lie if there were a full back (some chairs having only a part of a back, then a substantial space between that part and the seat), and then the sitter sits on the seat part 12 of the strip, while maintaining the strip in its forward tending position, clear of the back of the chair from the mounted end of the strip to the forward portion of the seat.
It has been found that by using the support of this invention in the way that has been indicated, the back of the person using the chair on which the support is mounted experiences less back and lumbar region stress than when the support is not used. Although the theory of its operation is not a part of the invention, it is believed that when used as described, the support brings the sacrum forward, thus freeing the pressure on the lumbar and sacral nerves, reduces pressure on the spine and tailbone, creates a soothing stretch of the lower back, and promotes better posture and muscle tone.
Numerous variations in the construction of the support of this invention, within the scope of the appended claims, will occur to those skilled in the art in the light of the foregoing disclosure. Merely by way of illustration, the webs can be made of heavy Nylon, canvas or other strong, substantially non-extensible woven material. The webs can be made as broad as the back area of the strip or even made as a layer of material laminated or otherwise incorporated into the strip. When used in an automobile or other vehicle having a head rest, the pocket or other mounting means can be sized to be positioned on or around the head rest. The mounting means can take the shape of a skeletal framework of straps or webs. If brushed Nylon strips, sandwiching between them foamed material are used, or another smoothe-surfaced backing, a strip of non-sliding material can be mounted on the rear surface of the seat part of the strip, to inhibit sliding of the strip over the seat of the chair. Several other variations have been suggested above, and these are merely illustrative.

Your Name is Renťe: Ruth Kapp Hartz's Story as a Hidden Child in Nazi-occupied France
Oxford University Press, 1994 - History - 214 pages
In Nazi-occupied France in 1941, four-year-old Ruth Kapp learns that it is dangerous to use her own name. "Remember," her older cousin Jeannette warns her, "your name is Renee and you are French!"
A deeply personal book, this true story recounts the chilling experiences of a young Jewish girl during the Holocaust. The Kapp family flees one home after another, helped by simple, ordinary people from the French countryside who risk their lives to protect them. Eventually the family is forced to separate, and young Ruth survives the war in an orphanage where she is not allowed to see or even mention her parents. Without the trappings of lofty language or the faceless perspective of history, this first-person account poignantly recreates the terror of war seen through the eyes of an innocent child. Your Name Is Renee is a tale of suffering and redemption, fear and hope, which is bound to stir even the most hardened heart.

HVAC Maintenance Technicians in the United States are largely men, earning an average of $17.50 per hour. Compensation ranges between $12.29 per hour and $26.06. Location and experience level each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. Unfortunately, some people in this line of work are without benefits — roughly a fourth lack coverage. On the flip side, a fair number have medical insurance and more than half receive dental plans. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

HVAC maintenance technicians provide preventative care and repairs for HVAC systems. They repair and maintain refrigerator and electrical systems and their components, as well as troubleshoot electrical systems and write schematics for their work locations. In addition, the HVAC technician must be proactive in ensuring that preventative maintenance of all equipment is done promptly to help prevent future problems with equipment. The HVAC technician must also look for inefficiencies in systems to find the source of any current or possible malfunctions. They dismantle equipment as necessary when needed to troubleshoot the system or ensure that the equipment is properly maintained. In addition to these responsibilities, the HVAC technician is responsible for documenting the work they complete. Much of the HVAC maintenance technician's work takes place outside in varying weather. The employee may need to lift as much as 40 pounds of equipment at any given time.Read More...
HVAC technicians need to have relevant education and/or experience related to the systems with which they work. These professionals must be familiar with the principles of refrigeration and saturation, as well as technical components such as motors, loop systems, and water treatment. The HVAC technician also must be familiar with all the tools used to maintain and repair equipment. The ability to work directly with customers, other technicians, and managers is required; this includes excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Survey results suggest that HVAC Maintenance Technicians put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, facility with HVAC and HVAC System Design are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 22 percent and 4 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Plumbing and Maintenance. Those familiar with Maintenance also tend to know System Repair and Electronic Troubleshooting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For HVAC Maintenance Technicians, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $33K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $39K on average — a distinctly larger sum. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $44K in this role. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $48K.

On one piece of paper or as a photo mural? Largest paper available today is roll paper that comes 48-inches wide by xxx feet long (I forget the number of feet). So, you are limited in one dimension by the 48-inch width.
What would be interesting to do, is stitch together several (like 3) panoramic format photos & have them output on a LightJet as it has a roll of 48-inch wide paper loaded in it, and should be able to print the entire length of the stitched together photo ....
Oooooooowww...that shouldn't be too expensive!!

Tipton-Rosemark advances in D2-A softball state tourney; Collierville eliminated in Class AAA
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The Tipton-Rosemark Academy and Collierville softball teams were both relying on their ace pitchers to lead them this week in their respective pursuits of Division 2-A and Class AAA state titles.
For TRA and its senior pitcher, Ashton Needham, their championship aspirations remained intact Wednesday as the Rebels edged Ezell-Harding 2-1 on the strength of a nine-strikeout, compete-game performance from Needham.
But for Collierville, a season in which coach Mike Bradley said his team exceeded expectations came to a heartbreaking end Wednesday after the Lady Dragons squandered late-inning leads in a 2-1 loss to Class AAA powerhouse Soddy-Daisy and an 8-6 elimination-game loss to Maryville.
"We just can't get a break," said a frustrated Bradley, whose standout pitchers, junior Bayleigh Wisher and sophomore Kelsey Gross, had solid performances on the mound negated in the late innings by combinations of timely hits and defensive miscues.
Collierville, which finished its season at 35-12-1, was threatening to hand Soddy-Daisy its first opening-game loss in state-tournament history with a 1-0 lead and one out in the bottom of the seventh before the Lady Trojans tied it on junior Abby Walker's RBI single off Wisher.
A batter later, a fielding error put runners at first and second before Soddy-Daisy loaded the bases on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Brooke Hale that turned into an infield single when Collierville failed to cover first base.
Lady Trojans freshman Cameron Swafford then finished the Lady Dragons off with a game-ending single to left field that scored Walker and sent Collierville into the elimination game.
Collierville, with Gross on the mound in the second game, then blew a 5-0 fifth-inning lead against Maryville that Wisher had helped build with a two-run homer in the fifth.
After trimming the Lady Dragons' lead with a run in the fifth, Maryville exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the sixth off six hits and three Collierville errors. Collierville managed to score a run in the seventh to make it 8-6 on Brooke Castillo's RBI single, but it wasn't enough.
The day was far more enjoyable for Tipton-Rosemark (25-11), which advanced to face rival University School of Jackson on Thursday.
Needham's pitching allowed junior Bethany Berger's two-run homer in the first to stand. Needham scattered five hits and walked just one batter.
"She has been our No. 1 all year and has thrown against all the big dogs constantly," TRA coach Johnie Sanfratello said. "She showed (Wednesday) why with nine strikeouts. She's just a competitor."

ABSTRACT: To study attitudes toward menopause in women with or at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) aged 35 to 60 in New York City, NY, USA. Data were obtained at the baseline interview in a cohort study of menopause. Of 502 participating women, 92 were postmenopausal and 162 were perimenopausal. Overall, 37.5% of women had a relatively favorable attitude toward menopause. African Americans had a 72% greater odds of a positive attitude (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.16-2.57) than all other groups after adjusting for covariates. Hispanic women had the least favorable view of menopause. Experience of > 3 menopausal symptoms and negative life events-being a witness to a murder, and the death ofa child-were significantly associated with negative attitudes towards menopause (OR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.42-0.93 and OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.43-0.93, respectively). Depressive symptoms, street drug use, and having a domestic partner, which is significant in single variable analyses, did not remain independent predictors in multivariate results. HIV status, menopause status, and age at interview were not associated with menopause attitudes. HIV-infected, drug-using, low-income women showed generally unfavorable attitudes towards menopause. High stress life events coupled with a high prevalence of depressive symptoms indicate this population has special needs marked by the menopause transition into older age.Clinical Interventions in Aging 08/2008; 3(3):561-6. · 1.82 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Engagement in HCV Care and Treatment in an Urban Cohort[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding hepatitis C (HCV) care, barriers to care and treatment persist. Although HIV+ persons interface frequently with medical personnel, providers may not prioritize HCV compared to acute, symptomatic co-morbidities. Individuals assume their HCV is monitored, when it may be overlooked until late-stage symptoms appear. This suggests the need for research into factors associated with the actual engagement in HCV clinical care. Methods: Medical charts of participants in a study of HCV+ persons with or at risk for HIV infection in NYC were abstracted using a standardized form, focusing on HCV discussion, harm reduction, alcohol and psychiatric management, HCV screening and treatment. Results: Of 343 HCV+ participants, 278 (81%) reported receiving HCV care, of whom only 212 (62%) were able to identify specific HCV providers. Of these 212, 106 (50%) medical records were abstracted; 67% were HIV+, 43% women, 48% black, 39% Hispanic; mean age was 54 years. Approximately 1/3 received comprehensive HCV care. Thirty-eight charts (36%) noted HCV education, 36 (34%) discussed treatment options. Thirty (28%) participants discussed illicit drug use reduction, 20 (19%) alcohol reduction, and 49 (46%) received psychiatric care and/or medication. Thirty-two (35%) charts noted liver radiology; 38 (36%) had a liver biopsy. Twenty (19%) were treated for HCV in the past; 2 (10%) of those treated had a sustained virologic response. Five (5%) were being treated during the course of the study. Conclusion: Forty percent of all participants could not name their HCV provider. Even among better-informed participants, more than 50% erroneously believed their HCV was adequately monitored. Providers may not prioritize HCV care. Greater attention is warranted to HCV education, harm reduction and liver disease progression screening, particularly within a vulnerable, HIV+ population.Infectious Diseases Society of America 2007 Annual Meeting; 10/2007
Conference Paper: Knowledge about and access to care for chronic hepatitis C virus infection in older persons with or at risk for HIV infection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Access to and engagement in care for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, especially for those co-infected with HIV, is an enormous public health problem. Little is known about factors associated with successful management of HCV in co-infected patients, including educational programs, harm reduction, management of psychiatric disease and substance abuse. Methods: Subjects with chronic HCV were recruited from 2 prospective research cohorts of older men and women with, or at risk for, HIV infection in NYC. Interviews regarding engagement in HCV care, relationships with providers, behavior modification, and HCV transmission and disease knowledge were performed at semi-annual study visits. Results: 137 (59%) men and 94 (41%) women with chronic HCV participated; mean age was 53 +/- 5.6 years; 53% black and 31% Hispanic; 58% HIV co-infected. 80% reported they were engaged in HCV care, most at their usual medical venue; 70% did not receive HCV care at any other site; <20% had ancillary services available for HCV. Misinformation was common regarding transmission risk (50% thought HCV cannot be transmitted by sharing toothbrushes or razors; 37% did not know about transmission via drug paraphernalia) and treatment eligibility (50% believed co-infected patients are excluded; 46% thought most MDs would give treatment if cirrhosis was present; 58% did not know that interferon and ribavirin are used in therapy). Co-infected subjects were significantly more informed than HCV mono-infected subjects regarding treatment eligibility [p<.03]. Conclusions: Most participants self-reported receiving HCV care from their providers; this has not yet been validated. There remain substantial gaps in knowledge of those with HCV, especially those without co-infection. Further study of ways to improve knowledge and engagement in care of older persons with HCV with or at risk for HIV infection is warranted, especially for those not receiving co-infection care.Infectious Diseases Society of America 2006 Annual Meeting; 10/2006
Article: Gender and hospitalization patterns among HIV-infected drug users before and after the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era and pre-HAART era hospitalization rates among 604 HIV-infected drug users in a prospective study in Bronx, New York. Medical history and risk behaviors were elicited by semiannual interviews. Standardized medical record review abstracted discharge diagnoses for all hospitalizations. Hospitalization rates from January 1997 to December 2000 were compared with rates from January 1992 to December 1996. The rate of hospitalizations per 100 patient-years in the HAART era was 49.3 compared with 44.1 in the pre-HAART era (P = 0.13). Among women, the rate was significantly higher in the HAART era than in the pre-HAART era (68.1 vs. 49.4 hospitalizations per 100 patient-years, respectively; P = 0.01). In the second era, HAART users had lower rates than those who did not use HAART (37.2 vs. 83.4 hospitalizations per 100 patient-years, respectively; P < 0.001) for both HIV-associated and non-HIV-associated illnesses. Multivariate analysis revealed that in the HAART era, female gender (relative risk ratio = 1.72, P = 0.03) and not using HAART (relative risk ratio = 1.82, P = 0.02) independently predicted increased hospitalization risk. In the pre-HAART era, women were at independently higher risk of hospitalization (relative risk ratio = 1.36, P = 0.05). Among HIV-infected drug users, those who use HAART have a decreased risk of hospitalization; those who do not use HAART remain at high risk of continuing morbidity from both HIV-related and non-HIV-related illness and have high hospitalization rates.JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 11/2003; 34(3):331-7.

Article: Utilization of on-site primary care services by HIV-seropositive and seronegative drug users in a methadone maintenance program[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The feasibility of on-site primary care services and their use by human immunodeficiency virus HIV-seropositive and seronegative injecting drug users within an outpatient methadone maintenance program are examined. A 16-month prospective study was conducted within an ongoing cohort study of HIV infection at a New York City methadone program with on-site primary care services. The study group consisted of 212 seropositive and 264 seronegative drug injectors. A computerized medical encounter data base, with frequencies of primary care visits and with diagnoses for each visit, was linked to the cohort study data base that contained information on patients' demographic characteristics, serologic status, and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts. Eighty-one percent of the drug injectors in the study voluntarily used on-site primary care services in the methadone program. Those who were HIV-seropositive made more frequent visits than those who were seronegative (mean annual visits 8.6 versus 4.1, P < .001), which increased with declining CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts; 79 percent of those who were seropositive with CD4 counts of less than 200 cells per cubic millimeter received on-site zidovudine therapy or prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, or both. Common primary care diagnoses for patients seropositive for HIV included not only conditions specific to the human immunodeficiency virus but also bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, genitourinary infections, asthma, dermatologic disease, psychiatric illness, and complications of substance abuse; those who were seronegative were most frequently seen for upper respiratory infection, psychiatric illness, complications of substance abuse, musculoskeletal disease, hypertension, asthma, and diabetes mellitus. Vaginitis and cervicitis,other gynecologic diseases, and pregnancy were frequent primary care diagnoses among both seropositive and seronegative women.Public Health Reports 01/1993; 108(4):492-500. · 1.64 Impact Factor
Article: Population-based study of malignancies and HIV infection among injecting drug users in a New York City methadone treatment program, 1985-1991.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study the incidence of AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining malignancies in injecting drug users with and without HIV infection in a methadone maintenance treatment program (MMTP). Prospective study within a hospital-affiliated MMTP with on-site primary medical services. The MMTP has been the site of a voluntary longitudinal cohort study of HIV infection since 1985. Active surveillance for all new cancer cases occurring among patients in the MMTP between July 1985 and August 1991. Cancer cases were identified by review of clinic and hospital records, hospital-based tumor registries, and New York City vital records. Cancer incidence was determined for the overall MMTP population and for HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative cohort study subgroups. During the study period the MMTP population comprised 2174 patients followed for 5491 person-years; 844 patients (380 HIV-seropositive, 464 HIV-seronegative) also participated in the cohort study. Fifteen non-AIDS-defining malignancies occurred among all MMTP patients (2.73 cases per 1000 person-years); the most frequent sites were lung, larynx, and cervix (n = 6, 2 and 2, respectively). Eighty per cent of patients with these cancer diagnoses and known HIV serologic status were seropositive. Within the cohort study group, six out of 380 HIV-seropositives developed non-AIDS-defining cancers versus one out of 464 HIV-seronegatives (P = 0.05, Fisher's exact test). Lung cancer cases in HIV-seropositive patients tended to occur at an earlier age and was more aggressive than in patients with HIV-seronegative or unknown status. During the same period, two cases of AIDS-defining lymphoma and one case of Kaposi's sarcoma were diagnosed in the MMTP population (0.5 cases per 1000 person-years). Solid neoplasms, while infrequent, were associated with HIV infection and were more common than AIDS-defining cancers in this population of drug injectors. Further study is needed to explore the relationship between HIV, behavioral factors, and cancer risk in injecting drug users.AIDS 09/1992; 6(8):843-8.

hey does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
Hi my name is Anya, I love life and new experiences. ill try anything once..almost anything;) I moved here from Moscow, Russia. So I specialize in cooking borsch and crepes.. I currently live in Boise, Idaho. I am a student at Boise state getting my bachelors in health care, i have about a year left.. I would describe myself as fun, loving, spontaneous and outgoing! I care a lot, sometimes too much for people, I have a big heart. I have a great sense of humor I'm sarcastic and I laugh a lot, I need someone that can keep up with me;) positivity and happiness are contagious, i believe you give off what you attract in the world. life is an adventure and too short to spend being unhappy. I love dressing up, being active, being outdoors, tennis, hiking, snorkeling, tubing, zip lining... I want more then the average lifestyle...i want love, passion, happiness and adventure to always be a constant part of my life. I'm really active...mostly just so I can eat croissants and pizza;) but having someone that will take runs, hikes, bike rides or go to the gym with me would be a big plus. I'm not big into the bar scene, i would much rather drink some wine and play rummy, watch a movie... I am at a point in my life where I'm ready for a serious relationship and a family with the right person. I have been disappointed in dating countless times in the past but i'm ready to give this another shot. I want a HONEST, caring, funny, compassionate man that has a fun adventurous side, with an emphasis on the honest part...Is that too much to ask for?:) Let me emphasize the HONEST part again...im not sure why it seems IMPOSSIBLE to find a decent man that doesn't cheat or lie? or maybe i have been looking in the wrong places. I love boise but I have no problem relocating if i found the right person. At this point i think i could relocate to a different country if i could find ONE man that is faithful ;)

I started riding when Joplin was still around and helmets were recommended but not mandatory.
When the recommendation became law, I felt sorry for not having gone helmetless more often, while I still could.
Putting on a helmet is like going from a motorcycle inside a cage.
The caress of the wind is gone. The sound of the engine is distorted.
If you never rode without a helmet, you just don't know.
Really, You Don't Know.
And I still get claustrophobic behind a faceshield.
Bottom line: from ATGATT to PIRATE, -shadow and vapours, all the same-, aren't we all fashionista first?
I rode without a helmet before Washington made it mandatory. It was kinda nice in perfect weather for short, slow rides.
Freeway speeds, cold weather, snow, rain, bugs, rocks, dust, mud, noise......even not considering the protection factor, I quickly learned for most of my riding, a helmet is more comfortable.
I wear a Nolen N43E trilogy, even with the chin bar in place, the field of view is almost as good as a half helmet.

Apology..I know that it bothered you,Apology..2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
it's so plain to see.
And now you'll do what you have to,
just to avoid me.
Trust me, I understand.
And It's just what I'd expect.
'Cuz I hate who I am,
and so do all the rest.
I'm a stupid, rage filled, jerk,
and a psychopathic freak.
But I'll still try to make it work,
so here's my apology..
I'm sorry if I lost my grip,
sorry I lost control.
I'm sorry I'm such a piece of shit.
But please say you wont go.
I know I'm not the best of guys,
and I know that I'm no good.
But will you let me dry your eyes,
And try and be the way I should?
I can learn to open up,
and learn to cage my wrath.
'Cuz you know that no matter what,
you're my first, my only, and my last.
And I know that just "sorry"
will not be good enough.
No excuses, lies, or stories,
Not towards the girl I love.
I swear that I will fix,
all my damaged parts.
I swear and I'll do it,
to win back your heart.
If you still feel unhappy,
it'll be okay,
to hold me, hit me, or hate me.
Or even push me away..

Like YouWhat is true love?Like You4 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
It isn't just a word,
Because when you're in love,
One word seems so small,
It isn't just a thought,
Because true love shouldn't be thought out,
It should be luck,
It isn't just a feeling,
It's millions put together - happiness, hope, trust,
All leading to symptoms;
Love is anything but conventional,
No words can fairly describe it,
No thought can ruin or cause it,
No emotions can add up to it,
And no one,
Can summon it within me,
Like you.

There's always someone else.

Know it's not your fault,
It's them that made me question love.
A Love StoryA fortressA Love Story5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
A wall crumbling
Its strength to protect is faltering as
brick by ancient brick
becomes dust removed and forgotten
Is that the goal?
To know what no one has ever touched
To hover and caress with compassion
To make human the monster that others
molded with the love of a mother's hand
You see through these scars and empty spaces
wrapping bones together with ribbons of light
Excavating encapsulated nightmares of time
Setting free the echoes of a bird caged heart
You break yourself over me
Becoming a window to the legend held in Camelot
Filling me with hope and desire
with an ultimatum
to listen with once deaf ears
to sing with a once mute tongue
to feel with the heart that was meant to beat
with the rhythm of the sun

My throat was thick with impending tears because that was the first time I realized I had really lost you
that you were never mine and you will never be
and all those dizzying daydreams were just daydreams and that's how they would stay
and right then I felt a dull ache in my chest.
I was looking for a trace of that boy I loved and my eyes stung with remnants of those tea

Before it's too late, and you don't know how
to please yourself, because you're stuck in a position
where you look back and tell yourself "I made the wrong decision."
The voices in your head told you to
"follow your heart." You didn't listen. Did you?
Almost a whisper at the back of your mind
When you finally hear them loud and clear, you try to run and hide.
Give a reason to ignore them, to ignore reality;
a reason to run from the darkness and hide your misery.
Excuses: your life, your way.
It doesn't matter what they say,
as long as you follow through.
The voices in your head told you to.

Because by then all she'll be is a pale, used up shell of an

Mother, father, when will you be home?
Are you busy again tonight?
We aren't a family.
We haven't been one for a while.
We are the broken ones.
Hearts covered in cobwebs,
Time moves slowly alone,
Dust off the love.
Shine off the hurt.

We are strangers in a house,
No connections to each other.
Strangers sharing a shelter.

Sense and Nonsense
Published: November 26, 2000
(Page 3 of 5)
Anyway, the brother and sister might appreciate their Glunk, since he bears an obvious resemblance to their own father -- none other than the Cat in the Hat himself, who of course won fame by popping into someone's home and causing all manner of turmoil. You remember: he arrives with a loud bump one dull, rainy afternoon and lays waste to a family's quiet house, despite the protests of an anxious fish and the two children, who fear they'll be blamed for his mischief. They watch the cat, along with Thing One and Thing Two, wreak havoc, their eyes wide with shock, their mouths alarmed little o's. With moral support from the fish and the aid of a giant net, they eventually put a stop to the cat's rampage, but it remains their guilty secret -- perhaps because he originated in their own unconscious thinker-uppers. On the last page, the mother's foot crosses the front door threshold. (Like most Seuss parents, her face remains hidden, as if inviting the reader to fill in the blank.) ''Did you have any fun?'' she asks her children. ''Tell me. What did you do?'' Like Marco in ''Mulberry Street,'' Sally and her brother are at a loss. ''What would YOU do/if your mother asked YOU?''
''The Cat in the Hat'' has become such an integral part of the culture that it's easy to minimize its revolutionary power, both as a reading experience and as a publishing event. ''It's spooky,'' says Roger Sutton, the editor in chief of the Horn Book Inc., of his first response to the cat's misrule. ''But you can't wait to read it again.'' Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, who collaborated on such postmodern children's fables as ''The True Story of the Three Little Pigs'' and ''The Stinky Cheese Man,'' can't imagine their own work without the good doctor's example. ''At the time, to suggest that kids would misbehave was crazy radical,'' says Scieszka, who has made a career of insisting that they do (and perhaps encouraging it). ''His stuff was weird,'' says Smith. ''The language was sophisticated, but any child could understand it. The illustrations were from Mars. Seuss was sly. His books had a message, but at the same time, in 'Cat in the Hat' you have Thing One and Thing Two, who come over and trash the house. It was shocking at the time, but it was a watershed event.''
''The Cat in the Hat,'' published in 1957, transformed Seuss from a successful picture-book author into a publishing phenomenon. Commissioned by Houghton Mifflin as an alternative to sterile Dick-and-Jane reading primers (and built around a list of 225 basic vocabulary words), it sold out in a matter of days. The Beginner Books line from Random House, which published a trade version of ''The Cat in the Hat,'' quickly became a powerful franchise. At the same time, Harper & Row launched the I Can Read series. By harnessing the artistic sophistication of first-rate picture books to the pedagogic imperatives of the early grades, these series changed the culture of classroom literacy forever. The idea, which now seems obvious, was that children would best learn to read using absorbing, entertaining books composed in a simple, limited vocabulary. Some of Seuss's most ebullient wordplay -- his purest nonsense -- can be found in Beginner Books like ''Green Eggs and Ham,'' ''One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish'' and the deliciously simple, almost dadaistically hilarious ''Hop on Pop.''
While Seuss's first Beginner Books introduce kids to reading by using a controlled vocabulary, his full-size books like ''If I Ran the Circus'' and ''Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book'' initiated younger children into the pleasures of language with a profusion of made-up words. The Seussian idiom, with its Collapsible Frinks and Zizzer-Zoof seeds, is frequently and unsuccessfully copied by ambitious children's books authors. (Janet Schulman, Seuss's final editor at Random House, wearily acknowledges the ''endless numbers of absolutely horrible unsolicited manuscripts written in verse that come with letters saying, 'I was inspired by Dr. Seuss.' '') But Seuss's best imitators are children themselves, who learn to master the phonetic patterns of their mother tongue by babbling forth streams of plausible but nonexistent words. Seuss's verses lodge in his readers' heads and, like all great poetry, enlarge their sense of what language -- their language -- can do.
Anarchy, linguistic or otherwise, flourishes alongside another, equally pronounced strain in Seuss's work -- not of preachiness, exactly, but of unabashed moral seriousness. ''He's sometimes pegged as a nonsense writer,'' argues Leonard Marcus, ''but most of the time he used nonsense as a device for holding the interest of the reader while he said something that was important to him.'' Barbara Bader, in her encyclopedic history of American children's books, writes that Seuss, like children themselves, is ''a natural moralizer . . . it comes to him as unselfconsciously (and unambiguously) as rhyming lines from an engine's beat.''
This tendency was evident in Seuss's fourth children's book, ''Horton Hatches the Egg,'' published in 1940. Like Faulkner's ''Sound and the Fury,'' it germinated from the unlikely image of its protagonist up in a tree and grew into an earnest endorsement of steadfastness: ''An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent.''

Apple is squeezed as smartphone market expands
Published on Jul 26, 2013 10:06 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The global smartphone market showed healthy growth in the second quarter, but Apple's iPhone was squeezed by competition from Samsung and other Asian manufacturers, surveys showed on Friday.
Apple's share of the global smartphone market fell to 13.1 per cent in the April-June period, according to research firm IDC. A separate report by Strategy Analytics gave Apple 13.6 per cent, but noted that it was the US firm's lowest share since 2010.
Samsung extended its dominance, capturing nearly one-third of all smartphones sold worldwide, according to the surveys, while South Korea's LG and China's Lenovo and ZTE showed accelerating growth.
Mr Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics, said Apple is being squeezed on both the high and low ends of the smartphone market, by manufacturers using the free Google Android operating system.

NHL Game Night 10/21: Lightning at CapitalsSubmitted by pete on October 21, 2006 - 20:36
Offense clicking and back to .500. Time to unleash some revenge on the Canes. TB-6 WSH-4 Marc Denis stopped 29 of 33 for the win. Nikita Alexeev, of all people, had a pair of goals while Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis had a goal and an assist each. Vincent Lecavalier and Andreas Karlsson also had goals while Pratt, Tarnasky, Taylor, Afanasenkov and Boyle all had individual helpers. For [url=nick-tarnasky]Nick Tarnasky[/url], it was his first point of the season. Game sheet from [url=http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20062007/GS020110.HTM]NHL.com[/url]. Doug Janik blocked one shot in 8:44. Eric Perrin was -1 with 1 block in 12:36. Tarnasky was +1 in 3:39 with 4 penalty minutes. It cannot be underestimated how important it was for Brad Richards to finally score a goal or what a great omen it is for "the big three" to all get goals tonight. The Lightning should be going into these upcoming games against Carolina confident and ready to prove they've got a legitimate contender for the division title this year.

ECHL Game Night 10/21: Ice Pilots at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on October 21, 2006 - 17:48
Tonight is the season opener for a Johnstown team that has had an almost complete identity overhaul in the offseason. Gone are former GM Toby O'Brien as well as many of the familiar ECHL veterans who used to make up the team. In their place the Lightning have set up a new management team and a revamped roster that includes much more youth, skill and speed. Coach Frank Anzalone is the constant, and the veteran coach will go for his 300th ECHL win tonight. Stanislav Lascek and Radek Smolenak should form a potent offensive attack for the Chiefs and they are expected to get strong goaltending from Gerald Coleman and Morgan Cey, but it's the progress of the team's defensemen that may decide how much it can improve over last season's short playoff run. PEN-2 JHN-5 Congratulations to Coach Anzalone on his 300th ECHL win. [url=morgan-cey]Morgan Cey[/url] stopped 31 of 33 for the win. Veteran Jean Desrochers had a first period natural hat trick to set the pace for the Chiefs. Doug Andress had a goal and two assists while [url=zbynek-hrdel]Zbynek Hrdel[/url] racked up three assists. Doug Adams had two assists and Radek Smolenak added his first professional goal while individual helpers went to [url=pj-atherton]PJ Atherton[/url], [url=stanislav-lascek]Stanislav Lascek[/url] and Brandon Elliot. And that's just game one. Game sheet from [url=http://echl.leaguestat.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=918]ECHL.com[/url].

AHL Game Night 10/20: Monarchs at FalconsSubmitted by pete on October 20, 2006 - 18:07
Bolt Prospects will be watching tonight's Falcons home opener on B2 Networks and liveblogging some game notes during the intermissions. Tonight's game sets up as a critical one of several levels. First, with Ryan Craig now out for a month with a knee sprain, several Falcons forwards will be attempting to make a good impression for the organization and earn a callup. For the Lightning/Falcons organization, whatever goodwill Springfield fans had for their new affiliation has all but dried up after two years of struggling and after last weekend's debacle in Norfolk the natives are definitely restless. For Head Coach Steve Stirling, this is the first major test of his leadership as the Falcons' bench boss. After skating his team hard on Tuesday and Wednesday to punish them for their poor play last weekend, will the young Falcons respond? And, finally, there are several subplots for the Lightning's young prospects. Will [url=karri-ramo]Karri Ramo[/url] rebound from a tough weekend and settle into the team's starting role? Will [url=marek-kvapil]Marek Kvapil[/url] respond to his healthy scratch in Norfolk and start to lead the Falcons offense as was expected at the start of the year? Will the Falcons young defensemen like [url=mike-egener]Mike Egener[/url], [url=matt-smaby]Matt Smaby[/url] and [url=andy-rogers]Andy Rogers[/url] tighten up their play after looking like the Keystone Cops in Norfolk? It's a critical three game weekend set, and anything less than a couple of wins will be a huge disappointment. [b]Starting Lineup:[/b] Blatny/Jones/Milley Rogers/Delmore Ramo MAN-4 SPR-2 Final [b]First Period[/b] 1. MAN- Murphy, (Pushkarev)(PP) 2. SPR- Aulin, (Kvapil, O'Brien)(PP) [b]Second Period[/b] 3. SPR- Blatny, (Delmore, Milley) 4. MAN- Jackman, (Kemp, Harrold)(PP) [b]Third Period[/b] 5. MAN- Kanko, (Harrold) 6. MAN- Murphy, Clarke(EN)
Craig Out One MonthSubmitted by pete on October 20, 2006 - 13:06

There is no word yet on a replacement recall from Springfield. Craig had 5 goals and 6 points in 7 games with a team leading +6 rating.

Stirling Holds "Torturella" Style Practices Heading Into Home OpenerSubmitted by pete on October 20, 2006 - 12:57
John Tortorella wasn't the only coach skating his team hard in practice last week as punishment for a poor performance. [url=http://www.masslive.com/falcons/republican/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1161299402195610.xml&coll=1]According to Garry Brown's column in the Springfield Republican[/url], Steve Stirling held similarly brutal practices Tuesday [i]and[/i] Wednesday after the Falcons' abysmal performance in the final four periods of their two game road trip to Norfolk last weekend. According to Coach Stirling the move came as a reaction to a lack of effort on the Falcons' part. Brown writes, "Stirling said he thought he knew how poorly the team played in Norfolk, but when he looked at the video, it was even worse." Springfield's home opener is tonight against Manchester and is the start of a three game in three night weekend stretch that includes Binghampton Saturday and Bridgeport on Sunday. [url=karri-ramo]Karri Ramo[/url] is expected to get the start tonight and Sunday.

Publisher's Description
Using popular games as a metaphor for our temporal lives, this six-session small group Bible study, When the Game is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box, by John Ortberg, neatly sorts out whats fleeting and whats permanent in Gods kingdom.
Today is the day you choose which game you want to win which prize you want to collect which priorities you want to set. Its a thrill to win at checkers or Clue or Trivial Pursuit. You sweep aside the other players and you own the board. Its also a thrill to win a promotion at work the new house you wanted that sports car youve always eyed.
But just like the game cards, the tokens, and the timer, those prizes are temporary. When the game is over, they all go back in the box. Games can cast a powerful spell, says bestselling author John Ortberg. But the wisest player remembers that the game is always going to end. So when everything goes back in the box, youll have made what is temporary a servant to what is eternal, and youll leave this life knowing youve achieved the only victory that matters.
When the Game is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box will teach you to:
Live passionately and boldly
Learn how to be active players in the game that pleases God
Find your true mission and offer your best
Fill each square on the board with what matters most
Seek the richness of being instead of the richness of having
This Participant Guide is designed for use with the companion DVD (sold separately). When used together, they work as a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth.
Sessions include:
1. When the Game is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box
2. Keeping Score Where It Really Counts
3. Resign as Master of the Board
4. Calling or Comfort? Choose Your Moves Wisely
5. Playing the Game with Greatness and Grace
6. The King Has One More Move
