I decided to do a search for the "Beem" surname in Footnote.com's database of Civil War Widows' Pensions. The database is incomplete, and I really didn't expect to find anything of significance to me. I was in for a surprise that kept me going the rest of the afternoon!
One Lewis C. Beem is named in the widow's pension application for the widow of William H. Harney. The first document I saw was a marriage record for Lewis Beem to Catherine J. Harney. Knowing that my gr-gr-grandfather, Elbridge Beem, had a brother named Lewis, my curiosity got the better of me, naturally, so I went back to read the entire pension application.
William Harney married Katy J. Tallman in Shelby County, Illinois in 1859. In February 1862, he enlisted in Company H of the Illinois 54th Infantry. He died from the measles on May 25th, 1862.
The marriage record for Catherine J. Tallman and Lewis C. Beem is included in the pension application. How, then, did Catherine draw a widow's pension in the 1900's if she married Lewis Beem in 1859? Further reading brought me to a divorce decree. In it, Katy states that Lewis abandoned her in December of 1880, running off to California to join one Alice Tallman, who had already abandoned her husband. Katy was left with two children, William and Cyrus, to support by herself. In addition to leaving Katy with the two children to raise, Lewis had withdrawn their life savings, amounting to $500. He also left her with debts of approximately $1,000. Creditors were threatening to take the 43 acre farm from her, but she was able to secure a loan to pay off those debts.
Lewis and Alice lived together in California, and after six months, Alice filed for divorce from her husband in the California courts. At the time Katy made her statement in Shelby County court, the divorce proceedings between Alice Tallman and her husband had not been completed. At any rate, Katy was granted the divorce on grounds of abandonment, and granted rights to the property that she and Lewis had owned during their marriage.
Because of the divorce, the pension board granted Katy's request to have her widow's pension reinstated. She later moved to Arkansas, where she died on May 17, 1928.
More research is needed to determine whether Alice's divorce was granted. The 1900 census of Oakland, California lists Lewis and Alice as husband and wife, so one could assume the divorce was granted. Is there an official marriage record for Lewis Beem and Alice Tallman, or was this a common law marriage?
It is also interesting to note that Alice's first marriage was to a Tallman, which is Catherine (Katy's) maiden name. More research is needed to determine their relationship, if any.

"A California man allegedly got out of a car in the Holland Tunnel outside New York and defecated in a toll booth, authorities say.
Kevin Nam`s Friday night call of nature tied up traffic briefly and garnered him a trespassing charge, Port Authority spokesman Steven Coleman told The Jersey Journal.
Port Authority police say they saw the 21-year-old exit a car traveling in the north tunnel and walk inside a tunnel booth. Police allegedly found him defecating inside."
Yes, but did he pay the toll?
The UPI writer explains that the man allegedly got out of a car in the Holland Tunnel, but at least he didn`t` write that the man "allegedly" took a dump. I`m sure the officer`s nose and eyes will confirm that No sh** the dude did in fact defecate in a toll booth.
The gentleman was inebriated, there`s a good chance he also urinated in the toll booth. Oh, the crap that police officers have to put up with.
Nam was charged with criminal mischief and criminal trespass, but his options were limited and crappy.
What would you have done, my friend? You could either defecate in your pants, or take a dump in a toll booth: A symbol of a government that nickel and dimes us to death.

text: Good Sunday to all, my friends. This is an absolutely crazy week for me (I have a film premiering tonight and have to prep the rest of the show), so I don't have much time for get you guys something. But music is important, so I'm here sharing just what I happened to be listening to at the time of writing. As to why I'm listening to Slash's latest live album, a show from about a week after the release of his last solo record World On Fire, well there is also a film version that I wanted to see first. I was having trouble finding it the other day, and just decided I would listen regardless. With an expanding catalog of his own, Slash plays a few less of the Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver hits in this show than others, even with Myles Kennedy's outstanding performances on the Guns N' Roses songs (check out the vocals on "Rocket Queen"). Anyway, that's all I got. Hope I see you next week.

The ancient port of Xiamen is better to known to history by its name in the local dialect: Amoy. It was one of the five "Treaty Ports" established after the First Opium War, and became a center of international trade. As a result Amoy dialect gave the word "tea" to the English language, as well as several others, including "ketchup". Today though, it's best known as a seaside resort and as the gateway to Taiwan. If you're passing through en route to Taipei, as my family and I were, then it's well worth taking a couple of days to discover this beautiful city.
Xiamen was founded on an island, although it has now spilled onto the mainland, and extended out to form a single conurbation with Quanzhou to the north. If you're visiting for pleasure, you'll probably want to stay on the island itself, in the old Siming district. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, though at the time of writing extensive roadworks make for long jams. The city's metro is still under construction and currently consists of a single line, which at least offers a quick way of getting from the main railway station (Xiamen North) to the island.
Xiamen's beaches are lively and well-maintained, though as you might expect from a port city on the South China Sea, the water is not the cleanest we've ever swum in. The main attraction, however, is the neighboring island of Gulangyu. This was where the colonial merchants and administrators built their villas, and it's now a Unesco World Heritage Site, and a major tourist draw.
Getting to Gulangyu is not straightforward. There's a separate ferry service for locals, but tourists are funneled through busy Dongdu wharf. If it's possible for foreigners to book online, then it was beyond our powers at least, so we simply turned up at the port and queued. As with many things in China, the system looks chaotic but works, and after a ten-minute wait, we were able to get tickets for the next ferry. However, if you arrive early in the day or at a weekend, you might have to wait an hour or two before you can sail.
Boarding the ferry involved an unedifying spectacle of shoving and line jumping, which ultimately seemed rather pointless for a thirty-minute crossing on a boat with few facilities. (Top tip: the enclosed cabin, with more comfortable seats, looks like it might be reserved but isn't. Get in there, if you don't mind missing the sea breeze.) Be aware as well that not all the ferries have toilets. Make sure younger children go before you board!
On arriving at Gulangyu, we'd recommend getting away from the overcrowded wharf area as quickly as possible. The east coast of the island is packed with tacky tourist traps, and the real joy is just wandering around the labyrinth of narrow streets, spotting examples of the fabulous colonial architecture and soaking up the atmosphere; like a Mediterranean town transplanted to the South China Sea. We spent several hours there without paying to go in anywhere, or "doing" anything other than eat, drink, and wander.
While in Xiamen we also visited Hulishan Fortress. (This was an easier sell to my boys than Nanputuo Temple. After three years in China, they are, they wearily inform me, "templed out".) The fortifications were built in the late nineteenth century, in a belated attempt to modernize the Qing military and guard against Japanese aggression. They're still mostly original and in good condition, and it's a well-planned attraction with lots to do.
If you want to see the displays of cannon-firing by actors in Qing uniform, make sure you arrive early or late: they're only at 10am and 4pm. (As ever these things are subject to change, so check times before you go.) The 4D movie runs throughout the day, though due to limited seating, it can involve a 30-minute wait to see a ten-minute film. The movie depicts the 1841 Battle of Amoy, and shows outnumbered and outgunned Chinese defenders courageously repelling an entire British armada, blowing up a gunship with a single cannon shot and driving back the redcoats through heroism, invulnerability to bullets, and the unexpected use of ninja shuriken. (Sadly, boring old history relates that the Qing garrison mostly just ran away, and the British captured the city with minimal casualties.)
The pride of the fortress though is the world's oldest and biggest coastal gun. This was purchased from the Krupp company in Germany in 1894, and transported halfway around the world to be sited in Xiamen. If you like big guns (and you cannot lie), then it's an undeniably impressive sight.
Xiamen is an attractive city, with chic fashions, hip cafes, and some great restaurants (the ice chicken cooked in champagne with fruit salad at Phoenix Wen was a particular treat.) After two days however it was time for us to move on to Taiwan, and that will be the subject of my next post.

Interview with Jennie Ottinger
q)please tell us a brief info about yourself.
a)I was raised in
q)Tell us about your humble beginnings, When did you you first realized that you wanted to be an artist?
a)After graduating with a degree in art history, I was working at the
q)What are your tools of the trade and why?
a)I work in oil, gouache and watercolor and pen. I like them for different reasons. Some things are more fun to draw than to paint and sometimes I enjoy seeing the same subject in different mediums.
q)Who or what gives you inspiration on your morbid art?
a)It's so funny because I don't think of it as morbid even though there are actual dead people sometimes which is the definition of morbid. I always think of the paintings as melodramatic sometimes to the point of silliness. My narratives are influenced by new wave films, epic novels especially from
q)Is your artistic background self-taught or did you go to college to study?
a)I went to school for art history and then again for illustration and then I went to graduate school. I didn't make art until I went to college for my second degree. When I discovered how much I loved drawing and painting I went wild and did it all the time.
q)How do you keep "fresh" within your industry?
a)Most of my friends are artists so I end up talking about art a lot. I also go to galleries and museums in
q)What are some of your current projects?
a)I just got back from the NADA art fair in
q)Which of your works are you the most proud of? And why?
a)I usually like the ones best that happened the fastest. Maybe I begin to resent ones that cause me to struggle.
q)Are there any areas, techniques, mediums, projects in your field that you have yet to try?
a)I have been dying to make an animation for years but each time I sit down at Final Cut I get so frustrated and confused that I last only a few minutes. I need to take a class so I can learn how to use it.
q)What do you do to keep yourself motivated and avoid burn-out?
a)I had to take a break for a few months after grad school but that has been the only time. I have a day job walking dogs so I am outside at the beach for an hour every day watching 7 dogs frolic in the surf so that is enough to keep me fresh I think. It is an awesome job and so different from making art that it works really well for me. I also have some hobbies that I ignore for months at a time and then dive into when things slow down. I sew and practice Spanish and am learning to play the guitar.
q)how do you spend most of your free time?
a)I must confess to a rather severe addiction to t.v. Also I read a lot, mostly novels. And I love to hang out at pleasant cafes for hours with friends or alone but I don't have much time during the day for that.
q)What contemporary artists or developments in art interest you?
a)I love William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas, Dexter Dalwood, Laura Owens, Gabriel Orozco, Tacita Dean, Douglas Gordon, ummm, who else? Wes Anderson (does he count?) Sophie Calle...
I saw so much great stuff in
q)We really like some of your pictures, how can we get our hands on them? Do you sell them? How?
a)They are for sale through my gallery, Johansson Projects. (www.johanssonprojects.com)

You can count on the left to do the stupidest thing they can possibly imagine for any issue, but when it comes to racial and gender matters they win the award for the ultimate in stupidity: The so-called "affirmative action" programs. They believe that racism can be cured with more racism and that if they simply give a nice-sounding name to one of the most asinine ideas, then that makes it ok. George Orwell would be impressed.
I have taught hundreds of black and hispanic students and I can say without reservation that members of both minority groups are every bit as intelligent as whites. There is no need to give preferences for college admissions, hiring, or government contracts. But the looney left thinks it is a good idea. They love to treat people in a patronizing manner. If I were a member of a minority group and I were given preference for my skin color then I would be seriously offended. To make it even worse, the looneys call me and other people "racists" because we oppose racist practices.
The idiots point out that the minority groups are less successful than whites. Very true, but discriminating against whites will not solve the problem. The biggest problem are the substandard public schools, especially in the inner cities. Conservatives have offered vouchers for children in failing schools to attend decent private schools, but the left opposes voucher programs vehemently. It is more important for them to preserve the jobs of the incompetent buffoons who run our public schools than it is to give children a decent education.
Here is an article that talks about the upcoming referendum on affirmative action in Michigan. This is a good article that presents both sides of the argument.

Introducing my very first behind the scenes video! I'm going to start consistently releasing as much behind the scenes content as I can from now. I want to share as much as I can with my friends, peers, and followers in the industry — I believe we all improve from inspiration for not just our finished photos, but the techniques and processes we use to arrive to the final product.
This photoshoot was for AutoSource Dallas and HRE Wheels. AutoSource gave me the keys to their 1,200HP Jotech Stage 6 Widebody Nissan GT-R repainted in Lamborghini's Verde Ithica color, and my current favorite car, the Ferrari 458 Spider. I already had some locations picked out, and then we scouted out the rest as we were cruising around town. The first location was simply some containers we stumbled across as we were driving down the street from AutoSource. The second location was my buddy's warehouse, the Dallas Automobile Storehouse in Addison, TX. The last location was this shut down, under construction hotel + parking garage my friend Nathan the construction manager got us access to.
I used the Profoto D1 Air Kit for lighting, and had the awesome Karissa Hosek as a key grip, moving around the lights and generator as needed per shot. The behind the scenes footage was shot by Greg Royar and Dylan Spencer. Shane Klein provided some great behind the scenes pictures and assisted in driving the Nissan GT-R to and from locations as well.
Check out the video by clicking the play button above, and please leave a comment on this post with what you think of my first behind the scenes video! Anything else you think I should include? Any questions about this particular shoot? Should I have done a burnout in the 458? Thanks everyone!
This video was featured on the fantastic FSTOPPERS website, check out the article my good friend and peer, Andrew Link, wrote about it!

What is the difference between deploy between deploy directly to next version and deploy custom ?
Hi tBt,
With Deploy "CUSTOM" you can chose which modules and which versions you want to deploy.
Cheers,Eduardo Jauch
Hi Ed,
How to choose the modules ?
What I imagine in deploy custom is like this,
Let's say I have a team that work on danamonfsc project.
My team, Horas, working on module A, I am working on module B.
When deploying to UAT, I only want to deploy mine (module B).
Is it possible ?
Sure :)
See here.
Eduardo Jauch
Ahhh, ic. I meant by modules is the action inside the modules.
It seems the way we (my team) in maintaining the modules on the project is not that proper because we only have 1 modules that contain all the logics.
But I am confused also about how to split the modules in 1 project.
Lets say I have a financial supply chain project. Then there is module payment and module order product.
If I make it into different modules, how can I connect the screen later ?
In this case, In screen Order Product, after the user finish order, it redirect to screen Payment.
You can make entities, screen, web blocks, server blocks, and almost everything else, public.
Than, inside a module, using the dependencies management, you can make a reference to any public objects in another module, and use it.
Avoid circular references (module A uses module B that use module A).
You should take a look on the topics related to architecture in OutSystems :)
Eduardo Jauch wrote:
Ic, noted for next project :)
Hi jauch,
i use the Custom Deploy but i got message there are no modules to deploy in this plan even in plan it is shown that we have difference between qa and Dev Env. Do you know what is the cause of that

Hi all
Same problem here!
Strange because this was not the behavior before, I'm pretty sure...

Incompatibility Clause
...no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.Article I, Section 6, Clause 2
The Constitution establishes several limitations on a person's ability to serve in Congress. For example, Article I, Sections 2 and 3, limit the class of persons eligible to serve in Congress by imposing age, citizenship, and residency requirements. The Incompatibility Clause of Article I, Section 6, imposes a further limitation: it forbids federal executive and judicial officers from simultaneously serving in Congress.
The Framers of the Constitution understood the Incompatibility Clause primarily as an anticorruption device. Painfully familiar with the system of "royal influence," whereby the English kings had "purchased" the loyalty of Members of Parliament with appointment to lucrative offices, the Framers sought to limit the corrupting effect of patronage and plural office holding in the new Republic. Drawing on examples provided by the bans on plural office holding contained in contemporaneous state constitutions, and in the Articles of Confederation, the Framers crafted a ban on dual office holding, which Alexander Hamilton described in The Federalist No. 76 as "an important guard against the danger of executive influence upon the legislative body."
It is easy, in modern times, to underestimate the importance of the Incompatibility Clause. There has been virtually no litigation involving its meaning. In Schlesinger v. Reservists Committee to Stop the War (1974), the Supreme Court held that citizens who had filed a civil action to challenge the reserve membership of some Members of Congress were asserting only a "generalized grievance about the conduct of government," and thus lacked standing to sue. That is not to say that the Incompatibility Clause would be judicially unenforceable if it were violated, for example, if a sitting Member of Congress who was also an Officer of the United States took official action that adversely affected an individualized private interest. But such cases rarely, if ever, arise, perhaps because the rule the clause announces is relatively straightforward.
The Incompatibility Clause nonetheless serves a vital function in the American system of separated powers. By preventing joint legislative and executive office holding, the clause forecloses any possibility of parliamentary government in America, and thus preserves a hallmark of American constitutional government: the independence of the executive and the Congress.
Beyond this vital structural function, what is perhaps most interesting about the clause is what it does not, by its terms, prohibit. Neither the clause itself nor any other constitutional provision expressly prohibits joint service in the federal executive and judiciary, or joint service in federal and state office. The latter issue is largely handled as a matter of state constitutional law, which generally forbids most forms of dual federal–state office holding. As for the question of simultaneous service in federal executive and judicial offices, the constitutionality of the practice is suggested not only by the lack of a textual prohibition, but by a few prominent examples of such service in the early days of the Republic, such the simultaneous service of Chief Justices John Marshall, John Jay, and Oliver Ellsworth in judicial and executive posts. Nonetheless, examples of joint service in the executive and the judiciary have been a rarity in American history, and a strong tradition has developed disfavoring the practice. Moreover, some might argue that generalized notions of the separation of powers, such as those expressed by the Supreme Court in Mistretta v. United States (1989), render the practice constitutionally suspect.

Medical Terrorism
Our principal goal is to give a hierarchically-organized terminology for indexing and cataloging of biomedical info such as MEDLINE/PUBmed and other NLM databases. Correctness and Trustworthiness: The remote businesses have certified or knowledgeable medical coding specialists who handle the accuracy. I personally do not have insurance as the cost is as well higher for me, but at the very same time I never believe OUR government demands to take it over. If you happen to be expecting this report to give a succinct summary of the legal position with regard to medical marijuana – be ready to be disappointed.
I can comprehend why you feel that paying $100 a month for a $5,000 excess is a rip-off, but it should be a bit concerning at the exact same time not having insurance coverage. Of course some a single from a medical field could explain this far better than I, but what I do know is medical insurance here is a rip off. A medical assistant is somebody who assists the doctor or any other medical professional in the execution of his tasks.
I have investigated several of the recent college shootings, and the shootings in other locations. Greatest explanation – no politial courage for such a huge tax increase and simply because members of the medical specialist would by no means go along with the drastic pay reductions it would need. In contrast to a human medical receptionist that might be impacted by private matters when answering telephone calls, a virtual medical receptionist will usually greet sufferers in a warm and friendly tone. Therapy gear In surgical gear, radiotherapy gear, nuclear medical treatment gear, laser equipment, physiotherapy gear, cryogenic therapy equipment, dialysis equipment, initial help equipment, anesthetic and analgesic gear and ward nursing equipment.
Via MSFC's Conference on Household Planning and Abortion Training Institutes, as nicely as by working to reform formal curricula structures MSFC is revolutionizing the landscape of medical education. Employing an urgent medical care service has a lot of positive aspects over making use of a conventional medical professional or hospital for when you have an emergency. When billing for anesthesia, it is critical for coders to have clear information about the policies of the distinct state. Check with the college officials to confirm that the college is duly registered and an active member of the Globe Overall health Organization (La Organizacion de La Salud Mundial). Every single single medical device was developed to help you live a longer and much more pleasant life. Organized groups of medical student, resident, and physician leaders make up the core neighborhood of Medical Students for Decision.
When I had private insurance coverage my co-spend was thirty dollars a year for two visits per year, and $5,000 dollar deductible for hospital service. Much more and far more males have expressed interest in more trendy medical scrubs, so a lot of nursing scrubs and medical scrubs retailers have fulfilled their requests. Excelling as an intern can significantly boost your possibilities of discovering a job soon after graduation as a medical assistant.
In addition, most of these bracelets have a distinctive code or pin number printed somewhere on the band that can be entered into a internet site to bring up a person's medical profile. With the correct investigation, licensed and educated medical doctors and staff, an sophisticated facility, and new technology, your medical spa is confident to succeed. The paper also briefly touches upon how, in the field of present medical education, the introduction of medical humanities or humanistic education has the potential to swing the pendulum of medicine a lot more towards the lost art of medicine". If you have passion for writing, you can also decide on to write medical suspense novels.

Here in this article, I am going to re-examination the Reversed Funnel System commercial chance as created by the guy who simply phone call himself TY. What a tricky name!
The concept, Reversed conoid group is not new. It has ever been there, but I have a sneaking suspicion that TY took it and well-tried to correct it the longest he could. And I essential admit he did a worthy job on that.

Saving young, Haitian lives is their mission
Dr. Beatrice Fontalis watched intently as a surgical team at Akron Children's Hospital fixed the heart of a young boy from her homeland.
At the pediatric hospital where she works in Haiti, cardiac procedures aren't an option.
Though routinely performed in the United States, operations to close holes in hearts or repair other congenital defects are impossible in Haiti because the country lacks a pediatric cardiac surgeon.
"We have a lot of children who need surgery, and most of them die because they don't have heart surgery," Fontalis said.
Since 2012, Akron Children's Hospital has been fixing heart defects in children from the western hemisphere's poorest country a couple of patients at a time.
But rather than continuing to bring a few children from Haiti to Akron each year, Children's now is training Haitian medical workers how to care for patients before, during and after heart surgery at their own hospital.
Beginning next spring, volunteer pediatric cardiac surgeons from U.S. hospitals will travel to Haiti to perform heart surgeries on Haitian patients at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital, where the staff is getting ready to provide the needed supportive care.
Surgeons will be able to complete 10 to 15 operations during each weeklong medical mission trip, said Dr. Jeff Kempf, an emergency medicine physician who serves as director of the Office of Pediatric Global Health at Akron Children's. Kempf is leading the effort to help St. Damien develop its pediatric cardiac surgery program and volunteers regularly at the Haitian hospital.
The long-term goal is to train a pediatric cardiac surgeon who will work full-time in Haiti, he said.
Fontalis is part of a seven-person team of St. Damien's doctors, nurses, a pharmacist, a biotech engineer and an administrator who were in Akron with the support of a nearly $67,500 grant from Rotary International. Through the grant, a team from Akron Children's also will travel to Haiti next year to offer additional on-site training and advice.
"I'm going to work in the pediatric intensive care unit when we go back," Fontalis said. "We can teach other doctors and nurses about … the heart surgery. It will be very helpful."
The Haitian visitors have been participating in simulation training and watching the care of two boys from Haiti who recently underwent open-heart surgery at Akron Children's.
Since 2012, eight Haitian children have come to Akron for life-saving heart surgeries through the partnership with Gift of Life Northeast Ohio, the local version of a program affiliated with Rotary International. Akron Children's has agreed to perform the surgeries and provide the necessary aftercare for $5,000 per child — an amount that's a fraction of the tens of thousands of dollars the hospital typically bills for such complex medical care.
Ultimately, however, more children will benefit when a cardiac surgery program is developed at Haiti's pediatric hospital, said Ken Fogle, chairman of Gift of Life Northeast Ohio.
Along with assisting in getting the Rotary grant, Gift of Life helped find unused medical equipment from U.S. hospitals for St. Damien's program.
"We've got to stop doing one kid at a time and get in-country skills," he said.
The training, particularly in the area of pediatric intensive-care services, will benefit children with other problems as well, Fogle said.
For Marie Lourdie Chery, a nurse at St. Damien, her visit to Akron Children's is also her first trip to the United States.
She said she has been particularly interested in spending time with the heart patients in the pediatric intensive care unit after their surgeries "to observe everybody, what we do in the days after."

Emergency services stretched: Bligh
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says the latest flood developments have stretched emergency authorities.
"We've already called on helicopters from northern New South Wales and they are stationed here," she said.
"The scale of what is unfolding in the Lockyer Valley and again in the south-west will test our resources.
"We have plenty of offers of help from other states and we'll certainly call on those as we need them."
Red Cross volunteers
More Red Cross volunteers from around Australia are heading to Queensland to run evacuation centres.
Red Cross spokesman Michael Gillies Smith says despite exhaustion setting in, volunteers are doing a great job.
"Red Cross has a wonderful team of people, not just across Queensland, but all states and territories in Australia," he said.
"They have really rallied to the cause in the most magnificent way.
"We've got people who are 18 and 19-years-old and we've got people who are in their 50s and 60s and some even older who have just been fantastic."
SES volunteers
A group of 20 Victorian SES volunteers helping in flood ravaged Queensland have returned home.
Volunteer Ben Penrose says it is hard to describe the devastation in the flood zones.
"A lot of the homes are just completely destroyed," he said.
"I'm over six foot tall myself and there are some homes that have had over waist and chest deep water through them and pretty much wherever the water's been it's left a large trail of mud and debris.
"All furniture, clothing, pretty much anything that was laying on the ground or nearby has been totally destroyed."

So we figured Marsh would be a great addition to WILDMania. We asked him what his favorite match in WILD history was.
"Tab Jackson vs. Aiden Riley (from February 25, 2011) is my favorite match. Not only was it a good match, but it is when Katarina debuted. And it's the first WILD match I ever saw."
It looks like after he saw this match, he was hooked for life. So it definitely deserves a place in WILDMania II.

Two years on: Joannes Paulus Yimbesalu
Joannes Paulus Yimbesalu co-founded Hope For Children Cameroon in 2011. The organisation provides educational assistance to children in poor communities, and builds toilets in schools to eliminate the practice of open defecation. This enables children – especially girls – to thrive and learn with dignity.
1. Looking back to the beginning of the Leading Change course, what are the significant developments in your work or education?
"Since becoming a Queens' Young leader, I have had many speaking engagements – at schools and with other non-governmental organisations – been part of consultation meetings with civil society, and most importantly, I have received several travel scholarships for youth conferences.
"For example just recently, I was named to the Youth Advisory Group for the Canadian Commission for UNESCO.
"And I am one of the 75 young people selected from over 25,000 applicants across the world to attend the 2017 Yenching Global Symposium – one of China's Academy's flagship events on Xinnovation: Identity of Innovation in China.
"This is a four-day event consisting of multidisciplinary lectures, panel discussions, site visits, and interactive sessions on Chinese innovation."
2. Complete the sentence, "Two years on from becoming a Queen's Young Leader I realise that the programme..."
"...has greatly impacted my leadership and public speaking skills and, most importantly, many young people today in my country, Cameroon, continue to look towards me as their role model."
3. What was the highlight of your first year as a Queen's Young Leaders Alumnus?
"Having a courtesy meeting with the Prime Minister of my country Cameroon, who wanted to know more about the programme and my projects in Cameroon.
"It was one of my best moments because it is always a huge challenge for young people to meet with government officials in their own country. And it was a privilege for me to have received a call from the Prime Minister to meet him in his office.
"His advice to me was 'Keep doing all the good work you can and remember to put service above self'."
4. What are you planning for 2017?
"For 2017, we are hoping to engage widows in rural communities in Cameroon – who often are marginalised in gardening – through our 'Garden By Widows' project.
"This will give them improved gardening skills which they can use to sustain their families and help keep their children in school and learning."

UW axed assistant dean who faked credits for 139 students
by Matt Rosenberg February 24th, 2012
An ethically dicey work-around to help University of Washington School of Social Work master's degree students maintain eligibility for financial aid and tuition waivers led to the forced resignation of an assistant dean named William G. "Gary" Olson. The Bellevue resident is now an adjunct instructor at Bellevue College, and claims through his attorney he was wronged by UW for engaging in what was an accepted practice there – albeit one about which he himself raised the initial questions that led to his exit.
Well away from public view UW found last year in an Internal Audit division investigation that from 2003 to 2011 Olson, the Assistant Dean of Student Services at its School of Social Work, awarded 139 students passing grades in a "Readings In Social Work" independent study course he taught, even though they did no work for the course. According to the audit division's report dated June, 2011 – and obtained recently by Public Data Ferret through a public records request – the actions by Olson rendered invalid more than $200,000 in financial aid awarded to 54 of those students. University officials firmly maintain that Olson's actions were isolated and that strong corrective steps have been taken.
Financial aid for MSW candidates at issue
Most of the School of Social Work students involved were candidates for an MSW or Master in Social Work advanced degree. UW financial aid rules state in part that to continue to receive aid grad students must maintain full-time student status by completing 10 credits per quarter, and also emphasize in bold font that, "if you drop below full-time before the start of classes and aid has been disbursed to you, you will owe a repayment of aid." At UW, 10 credits typically equates to two or three classes.
After pledging in the report to decide on Olson's possible dismissal by the end of July, the school announced his departure in a July 13 email (link and screen shot) from the UW School of Social Work Dean Edwina "Eddie" Uehara to staff, forwarded to the school's students by Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Emiko A. Tajima. It stated:
"I write to tell you that Gary Olson, longtime Assistant Dean of Student Services at the School of Social Work, is leaving his position, effective August 12, 2011. Between now and that time, Gary will be taking time away from his office. I know you all join in me in appreciating and thanking Gary for his many years of service and passionate commitment to the school and our students….."
An isolated case, university says
Olson was classified as a staff employee, not faculty. Uehara said Olson's resignation was sought and obtained. His attorney Neil Robblee of Edmonds said Olson was told he would be fired, otherwise. Norm Arkans, UW's Associate Vice-President for Media Relations and Communications, said Olson "…was otherwise a perfectly good employee but had been doing things under the radar that were just plain wrong. The university saw a fire, took out a fire hose, and unfortunately someone lost their job." Uehara said in her school the practice of awarding course credits for no corresponding course work was something only Olson did. Arkans added that despite claims to the contrary by Robblee, "as far as we know it's certainly not a common practice at the university. When students get credit, they are doing work." Internal Audit replied to a public records request for any other reports of the practice dating back to 2005, stating that none existed.
Students will not have to pay back tuition waivers
The "Readings In Social Work" course was referred to in the course catalog as SocW 599. The audit specifies that a total of 54 students got a combined total of $211,894 dollars in aid that was invalidated by the falsely awarded credits from Olson. Unwarranted aid totaling $122,782 to 25 students from the U.S. Department of Education is in the process of being returned, and the $13,562 in state Child Welfare Training Assistance Program money to 13 students has already been refunded, Uehara said. Another $75,550 in UW tuition waivers and medical benefits invalidly awarded to 16 students will not be recouped from them, Uehara and Arkans said, as the mistake was Olson's, not theirs. However, the School of Social Work has offered to pay the money back to the University's Graduate School.
Of the other 85 students, most were also on financial aid but unlike the 54 they had enough of a cushion in their course load so that the falsely awarded credits from Olson did not affect aid eligibility, Uehara confirmed. Thirteen of the 85 were undergads enrolled in the graduate-level "Readings In Social Work" course with Olson in order to receive career and academic counseling.
Olson first raised questions himself
According to the audit, concerns were voiced by the university's office of Student Financial Aid after Olson himself "asked if it was a problem he was providing credits for no real work to students who had completed their requirements for graduation but still needed to be enrolled in 10 credits to maintain their full time status." Olson "misunderstood and misapplied" more lenient credit-awarding standards for PhD students who have '"much more academic freedom to work at their own pace…for an independent study," the audit said. Under UW scholastic regulations "demonstration of competence" specific to course materials is required for awarding of a credit in a pass/fail class such as SocW 599.
School's corrective steps
The school has taken a series of actions in response to the investigation. In addition to discharging Olson from his position, the School of Social Work strengthened oversight of course work verification including independent studies, and has segregated duties concentrated under Olson to create independent study courses and also review and approve related study plans for enrolled students. And undergraduates will not be allowed to take SocW 599, which the school says in the audit was always intended to be a graduate level course.
Reached by a reporter at Bellevue College where he now serves as an adjunct instructor, Olson referred questions to his attorney Robblee, who claimed – contrary to what UW officials say – that what Olson did was a "long-standing practice" in the school of social work and "in at least one other department of the university" which Robblee declined to specify. A public database of registered voters shows that Olson resides in Southeast Bellevue with Dagmar Christine Schmidt, who is the director of student services at the UW School of Nursing.
"War On The Poor" by UW, Olson's lawyer claims
Robblee added "the overwhelming reason for students to get the 599 credit is for financial aid." Many are minorities, have outside jobs as well as aid to help finance their degree programs, and so to punish the practice approved by Olson is to declare "war on the poor" at a time of escalating tuition costs, Robblee asserted. Too much should not be read into the word "readings" in the "Readings In Social Work" independent study course, he added. The credits for the course were given by Olson to reflect the students' general course of work as opposed to specific work for the course, Robblee said.
Olson – who is listed on state employee salary records as William G. Olson, and on property records as William Gary Olson – was paid $83,051 for fiscal year 2011 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011) and another $3,611 as a part-time lecturer according to agency salary information on UW from the State Office of Financial Management. Uehara said Olson got no severance package.
Now teaching at Bellevue College
Olson to date has taken no legal action against UW related to his forced resignation despite hiring Robblee. He landed at Bellevue College teaching English Composition in fall semester 2011. This semester he is teaching the same class offering again, and developmental English for native and non-native speakers.
Prior to being hired as an instructor at Bellevue College, Olson told officials he had left UW and they "are being made aware" of the circumstances, Robblee said last night.
Bellevue College spokesperson David Sandler said he was checking who hired Olson and how much they were told at the time, adding subsequently in a written statement, "Mr. Olson was hired last October as an adjunct instructor to teach an English class during the Fall quarter, and is teaching during the current Winter quarter. We are currently gathering information about the situation and may have further comment at a later date."

That was nonsense. Note-collision resolution happens in the "Preprocessing graphical objects..." phase, which completes for all three scores in your regtest before the "Fitting music on 1 page..." phase, which is when we pass the code with the comment //trigger note collision
Yup. It allows calc_stem_position to skip all of the beam business
and get to
the setting of note positions.
You must mean something like "get to the business of /looking up/ stem attachment points" that were set long ago. Could you change the comment and commit message to whatever you thought I meant when you said "Yup", because what I thought it meant isn't true. http://codereview.appspot.com/5934050/

Finding the right fit just got a lot easier
I sometimes marvel at the courage and the moxie exhibited by anyone who voluntarily walks out on their (9 to 5) job to embark out on their own to begin a self-directed career. No benefits, no safety net, just a burning desire to be 'masters of their own domain' and (with luck) some knowledge on how to run a business.
Both my wife and I run our own businesses, although to be more accurate, what she runs is a business and what I run is (my own) job. Like many freelance visual designers, I search for many different options when it comes to attracting clients : word of mouth referrals, social media promotions and advertising, job boards, and up selling to existing customers. I'm aware that there are other ways to cultivate leads and develop new business relationships, but in order to maintain some semblance of sanity, I've limited myself to these tried-and-true methods.
One method where I've gotten some bites is through the 'designer-for-hire' job boards. I won't name names, but it's safe to say that many of them skew towards awarding offers based on the lowest price. This to me and I'm sure to most in the freelance visual design community is a recipe for disaster for anyone who needs to keep a roof over their heads and feed a family at the same time—at least if they live in North America.
In such an environment it would be easy to become disillusioned, or even resign oneself to a career of mediocre income. Well, I'm pleased to say that I've come across a very promising online resource for bringing together top visual designers (and developers, UX/UI designers, and more) and top businesses who demand only the best in their respective fields. I'm talking about TopTal Freelance Visual Designers Group, the 'TopTal' of course standing for 'Top Talent'.
TopTal puts freelancers through a thorough vetting process in order that only the top 3% make the grade. This ensures that their clients—who are searching for top talent—indeed have access to true professionals. It's really a 'win-win' situation, in that freelancers are compensated appropriately, and clients receive an excellent return on their investment.
I couldn't be happier, as I'm currently going through the TopTal vetting process. Bring it on, I'm ready!

Decor Tips for Your Home Gym
Gym equipment has a reputation for two things: being great for your body… and being, well, sort of ugly. When we picture gym gear, we imagine cumbersome hunks of graceless grey plastic, clunky designs, and bulky machines that look like something you'd find in an industrial factory. It's no surprise that many consumers prefer to take themselves to the gym, rather than take the gym to their home.
Fortunately, there's good news for fitness enthusiasts who also appreciate art and design: gyms don't have to be unattractive. And with "beach body" season just around the corner, there's never been a better time to read up on these interior design tips for your home gym.
1. Measure, measure, measure.
Before you start buying or assembling anything, you need to measure your planned gym space carefully. If you take the time and effort to plot out the positions of furniture and workout equipment now, you won't waste money cramming your space with bulky gear you don't enjoy (or even have room for) later. Robin Risler,a psychologist in Philadelphia, says it's about psychology, too – the cleaner, roomier, and more aesthetically pleasing your home gym space is, the more you'll want to work out there. You will feel accomplished about your reaching your goals of creating your exercise haven and be ready to reach new heights! If approach the task of planning your gym space with a mind for feng shui, your at home gym will transform from frumpy to fabulous.
2. Pick equipment you like.
Don't feel pressured to buy a certain piece of equipment if you can't honestly envision it living in your personal space. Whatever your buy, it's going into your home to stay, just like a piece of furniture. Like any other type of company that manufactures a product, fitness brands are conscious of the fact that consumers want aesthetic appeal and visual variety. This means you can easily find gear that comes in cute colors and features pleasing lines and curves. Fitness doesn't have to be colorless or utilitarian, and in fact, the more you focus on creating a home gym that meshes with your tastes, the more enjoyable your workout sessions will be.
3. Keep it simple.
Gym gear like seated shoulder-press machines, seated leg extension machines, and the famous Bowflex machines are all massive, impossible-to-lift contraptions that baffle the mind and displease the eye. If you can't navigate the settings, bells, and whistles of a machine without the guidance of a personal trainer, you aren't going to use it. If you can't move a piece of equipment by yourself, you'll grow to resent it.
When it comes to selecting fitness equipment for your at home gym, bigger does not necessarily mean better. In fact, Christina Stoltz, a Philadelphia personal trainer tells her clients that often, the best exercise can be simple resistance training using your own body weight. Choose equipment that you can lift and move whenever you feel like, so that you're always able to keep the space fresh and inspiring. Instead of clunky contraptions that weigh hundreds of pounds, look for equipment like kettle bells, resistance bands, and stability balls. These come in a variety of fun colors, making color coordination (or mix-and-matching) a snap. Plus, when your equipment is lightweight and mobile, you can always store it away in a jiffy.
4. Don't neglect your senses.
Just because you're working hard doesn't mean you have to neglect treating your senses! At the "real" gym, you're forced to take in that… rather distinctive gym smell. (You know the smell we're talking about.) At home, you're free from the sweat, the disinfectant, the chlorine – and you're free to indulge your senses. Burn incense. Play music you love. Paint the room in bright, cheerful, fun colors, like cotton candy pink or invigorating bright orange. Remember, you're in your own home – you can do anything you want to enhance the experience, even if (or especially if) it isn't associated with the rather dull and grim artistic atmosphere of most gyms.

The Hana and Arthur Ginzbarg Nature Discovery Center owes its existence to a remarkable grass-roots effort, as outlined in the timeline below.
Formation of the Friends of Bellaire Parks, Inc., now Nature Discovery Center, Inc.
The organization raised funds for the acquisition of a million dollar 3.75-acre Henshaw estate, now Russ Pitman Park. Volunteer labor and over 400 in-kind donations made development of the park and renovation of the historic house possible. The Nature Discovery Center evolved from nature walks and classes taught by volunteers in the park, even before the house renovation was complete.
The first full-time staff member was employed and the Center opened to the public.
The Nature Discovery Center received the first ever Flight STAR (Securing Tomorrow's Avian Resources) certificate of recognition from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for its efforts to educate the public about birds, and Russ Pitman Park was designated as a site on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail.
"Keep Texas Beautiful" awarded the Nature Discovery Center first place in the Civic Organizations Category for developing and maintaining Russ Pitman Park.
The Center commenced its first capital initiative, the Gateway Project.
Today five full-time and four part-time staff members offer exciting and engaging hands-on programs that stimulate interest in nature, science, and learning. Through classes, exhibits, and field investigations for children of all ages, families, teachers, and educators (at the Center, in schools, and in public libraries) we reach 40,000+ people each year, about 75% of whom are children.
Hana Ginzbarg
Hana Ginzbarg, a refugee from Czechoslovakia, came to the U.S. in 1943. While pursuing a PhD in chemistry, she met and married a fellow Purdue graduate student, Arthur Ginzbarg. In 1948 the Ginzbargs moved to Houston where Hana's life mission took form.
Hana soon came to appreciate the rich natural paradise along Houston's bayous which she explored with her family. She sought to preserve this natural heritage for both current and future generations. She was a major player in founding Armand Bayou Park and Nature Center and led the planning and creation of an "adventure playground" in Evergreen Park based on ones she had seen in the Netherlands.
In 1981 the four-acre Henshaw Estate was advertised for sale. Hana visualized transforming the lush grounds into a green oasis where young and old could share and appreciate nature. She and her committee organized a house to house canvas and wrote hundreds of letters seeking support. With a matching grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife, the park site was purchased and turned over to the City of Bellaire. Hana then recruited volunteers, union apprentices and court appointed workers to develop the park and to renovate a 60-year-old dilapidated house for a community center using donated materials.
Hana's vision for the community center included a place where children and families could come to learn about nature through hands-on discovery. The Discovery Room at the Natural History Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington served as the initial inspiration for what has evolved into the Nature Discovery Center.
Hana was a scientist with a humanitarian and ecological bent. She believed in the ability and duty of individuals to affect and shape their environment for common good. Herself a volunteer, she inspired an army of volunteers with her contagious enthusiasm.

Dioxin Toxicity and Chloracne in the Ukraine
J. Barton Sterling MD, C. William Hanke MD MPH FACP|Dioxin toxicity can lead to severe cutaneous and systemic disease. The poisoning of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko dramatically illustrates the damage dioxin can inflict. The hallmark of dioxin toxicity is chloracne and should alert the clinician to this diagnosis, which can be confirmed by blood tests. Olestra, a non-absorbable, non-digestible fat substitute is a promising new treatment to lower systemic dioxin levels.
Tazarotene Cream versus Adapalene Cream in the Treatment of Facial Acne Vulgaris: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel-Group Study
Alan Shalita MD, B. Miller MD, A Menter MD, W. Abramovits MD, K. Loven MD, L. Kakita MD|A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group trial compared tazarotene 0.1% cream with adapalene 0.1% cream, once daily for 12 weeks, in 173 patients with facial acne vulgaris. Tazarotene was associated with a significantly greater incidence of patients achieving 50% or greater global improvement (77% vs. 55%, P < .01), and a significantly greater reduction in comedo count (median of 68% vs. 36%, P <.001, compared with adapalene. A significant between-group difference in baseline inflammatory lesion count precluded a comparison of efficacy against inflammatory acne. The most common adverse events were dryness, peeling/flaking, itching, redness/erythema, burning, and facial irritation with comparable incidences of each between groups. Mean peeling and burning levels were milder with adapalene, though were trace or less in both groups throughout. There were no significant between-group differences in the incidence of patients discontinuing due to lack of efficacy or adverse events. Tazarotene cream offers significantly greater efficacy and comparable tolerability to adapalene cream.
Treatment of Actinic Keratoses with Sequential Combination of 5-Fluorouracil and Photodynamic Therapy
Dore J. Gilbert MD|Actinic keratoses (AKs) are traditionally treated with cryotherapy, curettage, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, Efudex®, ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), all of which are associated with adverse effects. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) offers a treatment alternative, current protocols require 14 to 18 hours incubation with ALA and patients experience pain during light treatment. Fifteen patients with multiple and diffuse facial AKs applied 5-FU nightly for 5 days and underwent PDT with ALA (Levulan® Kerastick®, Dusa Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) on the sixth day. ALA was applied to their entire faces and remained in contact with the skin for 30 to 45 minutes under low-intensity visible light. After removing ALA, faces received a single pass of 560- to 1200-nm intense pulsed light (VascuLight or Lumenis One, Lumenis). At 1 month and at 1 year post-treatment, 90% of treated AKs had resolved in all but one patient. Erythema resolved 7 to 10 days after treatment. Patients with multiple diffuse AKs may benefit from the application of 5-FU for 5 days followed by ALA-PDT with intense pulsed light activation.
Clinical Experience Results with Clindamycin 1% Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Gel (Duac®) as Monotherapy and in Combination
Joseph B. Bikowski MD|This article will examine various clinical experiences with acne patients successfully treated with topical clindamycin 1% benzoyl peroxide 5% gel (Duac®) alone and in combination with other acne treatments. Clindamycin 1% benzoyl peroxide 5%, the only once-daily prescription topical aqueous gel combining a benzoyl peroxide and an antibiotic, has demonstrated excellent tolerability and efficacy and is stable when used concomitantly with other therapies. A regimen of topical clindamycin 1% benzoyl peroxide 5% gel, oral doxycycline hyclate (Doryx®), and adapalene gel (Differin®) seems especially advantageous from a theoretical and practical perspective. Improvement is noted by means of photographic, physician, and/or patient assessments at baseline and follow-up visits.
Prescribing Patterns for Topical Retinoids within NAMCS Data
Rajesh Balkrishnan PhD, Julia C. Sansbury MD, Rahul A. Shenolikar MS, Alan B. Fleischer Jr. MD, Steven R. Feldman MD PhD|Objective: Fears of potentially costly use of topical retinoids for cosmetic treatment of photodamaged skin have resulted in many managed care organizations placing prior authorization requirements on this class of medications. The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether prescribing patterns of a nationally representative sample of US physicians shed light on the incidence of use of topical retinoids for indications other than acne. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study of data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (1996- 2000) was used to examine the impact of physician specialty as well as patient diagnosis of acne on the probability of retinoid prescription in weighted multivariate logistic regression models. Results: Topical retinoids were prescribed in 0.4% (14.7 million out of 3.67 billion) physician visits for any diagnosis in the 5-year period from 1996 to 2000, and in nearly 31% (12.0 million out of 38.7 million) of physician visits for a diagnosis of acne. Topical retinoids were prescribed for acne in 77.1% of the cases. This finding held when individual retinoids (tretinoin and adapalene) were examined separately. Clear age-related prescription trends are observed, with a significant decrease in prescriptions beyond the teen years. In older patients, tretinoin prescribing did not decrease as much as adapalene prescribing. Conclusions: These data suggest that managed care organizations may want to examine their own data to determine the optimum criteria for operation of prior authorization (PA) programs for retinoids. PA requirements for these medications appear unnecessary in young patients, given the very small probability of non-acne related use. PA in older patients might be targeted to those patients on topical retinoids (such as tretinoin) for which there is evidence of efficacy in treatment of cosmetic photoaging.
Enhanced Full-Face Skin Rejuvenation Using Synchronous Intense Pulsed Optical and Conducted Bipolar Radiofrequency Energy (ELOS): Introducing Selective Radiophotothermolysis
Neil S. Sadick MD FACP FAACS, Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas MD PhD, Patrick Bitter Jr. MD, George Hruza MD, R. Stephen Mulholland MD|Background: The authors previously reported their experience achieving non-ablative skin enhancement with serial, full-face, intense pulsed light treatments in a large series of patients. A new method for skin renewal electro-optical synergy (ELOS), which combines intense pulsed optical energy and conducted bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy into a single pulse, has been recently introduced. Intense pulsed optical energy and bipolar RF energy have been used in dermatologic surgery for many years; however, this study represents the therapeutic impact of the combined energies.
Objective: The authors report their experience using an ELOS system (Aurora SR, Syneron, Yokneam, Israel) on 108 consecutive patients treated with a series of full-face procedures.
Methods: Patients received 5 full-face treatments every 3 weeks. Each treatment consisted of 1 to 8 full-face and segmental passes. The number of passes, specific wavelength of pulsed optical energy, and RF energy were determined by the patient's skin type, dyschromia, wrinkle pathology, and presence of a tan. A total of 540 treatments were performed on 108 subjects. All patients had pre- and post-procedural photographs. Results were assessed by double-blinded physician photographic evaluation and patient satisfaction scales.
Results: Overall skin improvement was rated at 75.3%. Overall average wrinkle improvement was 41.2%, with an average Class 1 wrinkle improvement of 64.7%, Class 2 wrinkle improvement of 38.6%, and Class 3 wrinkle improvement of 20.4%. Improvement in skin laxity was rated at 62.9%. Skin texture was reported to improve 74.1%. Improvement in the appearance of pore size was rated at 65.1%. Average improvement in erythema and telangiectasia was 68.4%. Average improvement in hyperpigmentation and dyschromia was 79.3%. Overall patient satisfaction was 92%. The overall minor complication rate, including blistering, crusting, and stripping was 8.3%, and the major complication rate was less than 1%. One small, depressed nasal scar was observed in one patient.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of a new technology using combined optical and conducted bipolar RF energies for noninvasive skin rejuvenation. The results show improvement in wrinkle reduction and amelioration of erythema, telangiectasia, and hyperpigmentation comparable to that reported for other intense pulsed light technologies.
Review of Cyclosporine Immunosuppressive Safety Data in Dermatology Patients after two Decades of Use
Shahrad M. Behnam BS, Shahdad E. Behnam MD, John Y. Koo MD|Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis. However, its serious side effects in transplant patients have hindered many dermatologists from exploiting its therapeutic capabilities. The literature contains reports of lymphomas, internal malignancies, skin cancers, and serious infections in psoriasis patients on cyclosporine therapy. However, no study has evaluated the relative risk of these side effects in relation to the general population, nor monitored the patients for years after cyclosporine was discontinued. The recently published 5-year cohort study is the most rigorous data to date on the long-term safety of cyclosporine and shows no increased risk of lymphoma or internal malignancies. The study, however, illustrates increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers, especially squamous cell carcinoma. Review of the literature does not suggest any increased risk of opportunistic infections or tuberculosis reactivation. These data suggest that cyclosporine in dermatologic dosage (3-5 mg/kg/d) is safe and dermatologists may consider using it.
Colchicine for Dermatologic Diseases
Roberta Bibas MD, Neide Kalil Gaspar MD PhD, Marcia Ramos-e-Silva MD PhD|The authors review all aspects related to colchicine from its pharmacology to its usage in several skin diseases
Drugs Used in the Treatment of Pediculosis
Dirk M. Elston MD|Pediculosis is the result of infestation by one of two families of sucking lice. The Pediculidae include the agents of head and body lice. Pubic lice belong to the family Pthiridae. Pediculus humanus capitis (the head louse) and Pediculus humanus humanus (the body louse) look identical. The two differ by the slightly larger size of the average body louse, as well as where they reside and deposit their eggs. Head lice live in the scalp hair and deposit their ova on hair shafts. Body lice live in the seams of clothing and deposit their ova on fabric fibers, usually in the seams of the clothing. Although body lice are common vectors of disease, head lice have not been proven to act as disease vectors. This having been said, the two are so closely related that it is naïve to believe that head lice will never be shown to spread disease.
Ten Commandments for Minimal Pain during Aministration of Local Anesthetics
Isaac Zilinsky MD, Eran Bar-Meir MD, Ruth Zaslansky DSc, David Mendes MD, Eyal Winkler MD, Arie Orenstein MD|Local anesthetic agents are administered before many ambulatory cutaneous operations. The injection of the local anesthetic agent is often the only painful aspect of the procedure. There are various factors that determine how painful the anesthetic administration may be. These include the preparation used, the size of the needle and syringe used, injection technique, depth of injection, attitude of the physician, and more. In this article, we present the different techniques we apply to achieve minimal pain during the injection of local anesthetics.
Case Reports
Acute Generalized Lichen Planus Treated with Weekly Betamethasone 5-mg Mini-Pulse Therapy
Nawaf Al-Mutairi MD FRCP, Arun Joshi MD, Amr Zaki MD, Ashok Kumar Sharma MD DNB, Osama Nour-Eldin MSc|A 54-year-old male presented with a sudden generalized eruption of itchy violaceous papules, annular plaques, superficial vesicles, and erosions involving his trunk, limbs, oral cavity, and genitalia. The biopsy showed features of lichen planus (LP). Direct and indirect immunofluorescence (IF) was negative. Systemic treatment with oral corticosteroids in the form of 10 tablets of betamethasone 0.5 mg in a single dose was given after breakfast on 2 consecutive days every week. Complete arrest of progression, control of itching, and flattening of lesions was achieved within 3 weeks allowing tapering of the dose of corticosteroid by 0.5 mg every 2 weeks over next 10 weeks. No side effects of corticosteroid therapy were noted and the patient is in remission.
Psoriasis Exacerbated by Interferon-alpha in a Patient with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
E. Ladoyanni MD, R. Nambi MD|Interferon-alpha can exacerbate existing psoriasis and induce de novo psoriasis and psoriatic arthritits. The exact underlying mechanism is not very well understood. It is not a contraindication to treat patients with pre-existing psoriasis with interferon-alpha. In these patients interferon-alpha should be used with care and only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk. Control of psoriasis prior to initiation of interferon-alpha and simultaneous antipsoriatic therapy while on interferon-alpha are essential. We would like to report a 61-year-old male patient with stable psoriasis for over 20 years, who experienced exacerbation of his psoriasis after receiving interferon-alpha for chronic myeloid leukemia. The association between the interferon-alpha therapy and the exacerbation of his psoriasis was only recognized on rechallenge at the stage he was referred to our department.
Co-Existence of Lichen Planus and Sarcoidosis
M. Ali, F. Bazari, A. Woolons, J. Congletond|We present a 53-year-old patient with respiratory sarcoidosis who subsequently developed cutaneous lichen planus (LP). Biopsy of the skin lesions showed typical LP with no evidence of sarcoid granulomas. To the best of our knowledge the two conditions have not been reported in association
Rhabdomyolysis Associated with Quinacrine Therapy in a Patient with Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
CPT Naomi Creel MC USA, Victoria Werth MD|We describe a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis 6 weeks after starting combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine and quinacrine for the treatment of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE). Myopathy due to 4-aminoquinolone antimalarials has been well documented. It is plausible that quinacrine may induce muscle injury in a manner similar to other antimalarials but, to our knowledge, rhabdomyolysis associated with antimalarial therapy has not been reported.
Tazarotene Cream (0.1%) in Combination with Betamethasone
Valerate Foam (0.12%) for Plaque-type Psoriasis Sunil S. Dhawan MD, Marianna L. Blyumin MD, Daniel J. Pearce MD, Steven R. Feldman MD|A combination of multiple agents is often required to achieve treatment success for plaque-type psoriasis. We report a case series of 10 patients that were treated with betamethasone valerate foam (0.12%) in the morning and topical tazarotene cream (0.1%) in the evening for a total of 12 weeks or until plaques cleared. Erythema, scale, and thickness along with an aggregate severity score were determined at weeks 4, 8, and 12. One patient was lost to follow-up. Eight of the other 9 patients experienced improvement in their disease by week 12. Two patients were clear of their psoriasis at week 4 and 4 were clear at week 8. No adverse events, including irritation were reported; the use of the corticosteroid foam may protect against potential local irritation reported with tazarotene. The combination of tazarotene cream and betamethasone valerate foam is an effective combination approach to treating localized plaque-type psoriasis
Scrotal Ulceration as a Consequence of All-Trans-Retinoic Acid (ATRA) for the Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Soheil Simzar BS, Adam M. Rotunda MD, Noah Craft MD PhD|Induction therapy with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), an oral vitamin A derivative, has been shown to improve the short and long-term outcome of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML). Common side effects include headache, fever, dry skin, and bone pain, and approximately 25% of treated patients experience ATRA syndrome, which includes fever, dyspnea, weight gain, pulmonary infiltrates, and pleural or pericardial effusions. Scrotal ulcerations due to ATRA are rare with 16 previously documented cases, most of whom were Asian. We report a Caucasian male with APML who developed scrotal ulceration during ATRA induction therapy and review the previously reported cases. Physicians and patients should be aware of this disturbing, but self-limited, determatologic complication AFTRA.
FOCUS ON: Biologics that Affect Therapeutic Agents in Dermatology
Yamini V. Saripalli MD, Anthony A. Gaspari MD|Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is one of the oldest known cytokines in human physiology. It is involved in both normal and pathologic states. Virtually every cell and organ in the body are affected by TNF-α.1 Though TNF-α is usually involved in inflammation as a normal host defense response, when overproduced, it can become pathologic and affect almost every organ system. In this article, we address the role of TNF-α in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis as well as the drugs used to modulate TNF-α. Specifically, we look at the structure, mechanism of action, and clinical use for etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab. Historically, we also review the drug lenercept, another TNF-α modulator. These drugs offer alternative effective treatments to rheumatologic and dermatologic diseases without as many of the toxic side effects of some of the traditional therapies. The traditional agents target TNF-α in addition to several other modes of action (disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs [DMARDS] such as cyclosporine and methotrexate) (Table 1).
Though TNF-α immunomodulation seems to be a very effective, promising treatment in several TNF-α mediated disease processes, long-term studies need to be performed to assess the risk-benefit ratio of using these drugs over an extended period of time.
