What do we blame the 2009 Tampa Bay Rays season on? Was it the injuries, or was it the underperforming stars? Desperate to prove that their 2008 World Series trip was no fluke the Rays enter 2010 with a mission. This version of the Rays look a lot more like the 2008 squad than the 2008 but there are still a few questions to be answered before this team can ready itself to contend for the American League Wild Card.
The first big question for this club is what to do with Carl Crawford. He will be a free gent after this season, and is one of the most exciting players in Major League Baseball. The Rays will have to break the bank to keep him because he really is that good. 15 HR's, 60 stolen bases, and a batting average of .305 means they will have to offer Carl a big money contract, or he will simply not be here. Carl is going to have to produce as this is a contract year, but he doesn't have to be happy about it.
Now is Rafael Soriano the answer for this club's bull pen issues? Last year Troy Percival and Jason Isringhausen were injured by June. In 2009 nine different Rays recorded a save, and that simply will not do. The Rays have to hope that Soriano can fix their bullpen woes.
The last thing, the Rays will need in 2010 is Pat Burrell and Dioner Navarro will have to produce offensively Navarro had such a huge drop off from 2008 to 2009 that the team was forced to deal for Kelly Shoppach to share time behind the plate. Burrell was signed to provide right handed power at the DH spot, but his power numbers were way off in 2009. The Rays need these two players to produce, or they have no hope.

Instead of buying a drill, a jigsaw and other tools, each with its own motor, some manufacturers offer one motor that powers several tools. We're not talking one saw and a bunch of blades, but one motor driving completely different tool heads. It's a practical idea that works for power tools and yard equipment. It got started with kitchen appliances.
The first successful venture was Nutone's Food Center, a late-1950s addition to the latest design wave: space-age kitchens. The motor mounted out of sight under the counter. A sleek silver panel on top carried speed controls and a drive wheel. It powered a blender, knife sharpener, juicer, meat grinder, dough hook, ice crusher — each driven by the undercounter motor. Few manufacturers have picked up on this idea. Here are two from companies that have — one for working the yard and garden, one for working wood.
Out on the lawn
Husqvarna 128LDX and 327LDX trimmers The base tools can handle all types of trimming, even tall, wet grass and weeds with the heavier-duty 327 with increased power, a larger gas tank and longer reach. Both have practical features you expect from Husqvarna such as a top-mounted, easy-filling, see-through gas tank, good balance at 11 pounds, and a recoil system with air-purging for the carburetor that makes for one-pull starting.
But among a dozen trimmer models, these two come with a quick disconnect shaft so you can lose the trimmer and attach other tool heads. Aside from the tap-and-go string trimmer sold with the base tool (the 128 about $230, the 327 about $400), there is an edger, pole saw, hedge trimmer and small tiller. A rotary sweeper is sold separately. I didn't test the sweeper, though it's a sensible addition to the overall idea: Take one tool and a bunch of attachments into the yard and do everything except mow.
The attachments I did test are heavy-duty and what you would find at the business end of single-purpose Husqvarna tools. The hedge trimmer (about $250), for example, has double-sided blades on an articulated boom that rotates for the best cutting angle. The pole saw (about $210) was the winner — only 1.4 pounds with the shaft, high-chain speed, automatic chain oiling and the ability to cut up to 6-inch limbs from the ground in a couple of seconds. More details at husqvarna.com, or try a local dealer to get the feel of the attachments.
In the workshop
Black and Decker Multi-Head Matrix Modular Tool System. This lithium-ion battery-powered system (available in 12- and 20-volt models) comes as a drill that looks and works like your typical battery-pack drill. But you can remove the gears and drilling end, leaving the power plant — the battery plus handle and trigger section. You can see online how odd this looks, and how easily the other tool heads fit into place. The initial package includes the power end, battery, charger and drill attachment. Cost is about $50 at 12-volts, $70 at 20-volts (the one I tested). The other attachments are sold separately for $29 to $39 each. They include an impact driver, oscillating multi-tool, jigsaw, detail sander, router and trim saw.
These are homeowner's tools, priced accordingly, but at 20-volts they run with more than enough power for most DIY projects. It might be nice to have a full-sized router, a 71/4-inch circular saw and other contractor sizes if you plan to build, for instance, a deck that will take a hundred pressure-treated 2-by-6s. But for building shelves, repairing or replacing a piece of flooring, siding and many other projects, they're fine. The only drawback: no storage. If you like the base tool and add attachments, you'll need to pick up a generic bag. Find more info at blackanddecker.com.

Revolutionary ideas to deal with the fiscal cliff
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas are upon us, but instead of joyous atmosphere, Americans are faced with an infamous fiscal cliff. How steep is the fiscal cliff? About.com explains the fiscal cliff in a short and sweet manner. Read on, if you dare!
Even though the media blankets us with the daily serving of panic-ridden fiscal cliff news, the citizens outrage is not visible. How do we make the American people to care more about the cliff?
Public relations and proper advertisement are the key, hence the top 8 list of the fiscal cliff substitute names:
8. Pistol Biff – Do you feel lucky? Lets knock off that tax rate already.
7. Fiasco Tiff – Can't we just get along? No, we can't.
6. Dismal Whiff – Do you smell those disappearing tax cuts?
5. Facial Ziff – Shave off some of that spending before it gets hairy.
4. Distal Riff – Hands off approach to taxes, over and over again.
3. Crystal Reef – Clear view of the mounting debt problems.
2. Frontal Sniff – Yes, it's definitely a rotten tax increase deal.
1. Fiscal Queef – Budget agreement? It's all in the air.
Another idea is to push the Clifford aka Cliff to the top of the newborn names rankings. For the last couple of years, Cliff has been doing poorly. See the stats. Using the fluffy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, to ease the name shock among the populous, did not work out too well. Kids love the name; adults, not so much.
It doesn't matter which side has better ideas to avoid the fiscal cliff. On January 1st, 2012, all Americans will have less money in their pockets. And that's that.

Rays Ink Abreu To Minor League Deal
The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed on a minor league contract with right-hander Winston Abreu.
What, did you think Bobby Abreu would sign a minor league deal?
Abreu has 929 strikeouts and just 374 walks in 776 2/3 innings in the minor leagues.
He last pitched in the majors in 2007 for the Washington Nationals when he went 0-1 with a 5.93 ERA in 26 games.
Look for Abreu to add some depth in the bullpen for the Rays this season.

Chile struck by quake near site of 2010 tsunami
A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Friday off the coast of Chile, near the site of a larger quake last year that caused a tsunami and destroyed coastal areas. There were no initial reports of casualties, officials said.
By NEWS WIRES (text)
AP - A magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck central Chile Friday, centered in almost exactly the same spot where last year's magnitude-8.8 quake spawned a tsunami and devastated coastal communities.
Rodrigo Ubillo, the vice interior minister, said they had no reports of damage or injuries, and the navy had "totally discounted any risk of a tsunami."
Still, the strong earthquake frightened many Chileans, especially along the coast, where people quickly moved to higher ground.
"There was a preventive self-evacuation," said Vicente Nunez, who directs the National Emergency Office, ONEMI. But he said Chileans could safely return home.
Residents fled their homes in Talcahuano, a port city whose center was ravaged last year by huge walls of water that sent shipping containers and fishing boats into downtown buildings and streets, municipal spokesman Javier Gonzalez told The Associated Press.
Skyscrapers swayed in the capital of Santiago, and in the inland town of Cauquenes, mothers ran into the streets carrying babies in their arms.
The earthquake struck offshore, about 30 miles (45 kilometers) north of the city of Concepcion. The epicenter was relatively close to the coast, at 36 degrees south latitude and 73 degrees west longitude _ almost exactly where the Feb. 27, 2010 earthquake was centered. Friday's quake was half as deep, at 11 miles (18 kilometers), as the devastating temblor of Feb. 27, 2010.
And while last year's massive quake killed at least 521 people and left 200,000 homeless, this time it seemed that Chile emerged relatively unscathed.
People in Talcahuano weren't taking any chances in any case. The compact city center is at the base of a bay and surrounded by hills, forming a bowl where the ocean drained and then came back with a vengeance last year.
Friday's quake caused a blackout in Concepcion, another city still recovering from last year's disaster. And across the country, Chileans jammed cell phone networks trying to make sure their families were OK.
In Cauquenes, a small town almost directly west of the epicenter, mothers ran into the streets carrying babies in their arms.
"I was really frightened. This is one of the strongest replicas we've had since last year's earthquake," said Ana Alarcon, who closed her small shop and took her two children in a search for her husband, who she couldn't reach by phone.

These days content is king. The consumer attention is moving away from blatant advertising and focusing more on content value. This article profiles Daniel Robinson, President and Founder of Antelope. When I spoke to Daniel, he was doing something that many marketers sought an answer for: The Real Value of Content.
When someone jumps from the edge of space back to earth and it's all supported by one brand, you know you are staring at a winner. Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall from 120,000 feet not only broke the speed of sound and a world record to go along with it, it practically broke YouTube as millions upon millions of people watched the drop from space online. And with that event, Red Bull also captured the hearts and minds of marketers all over the world.
In short, everything that you thought the Internet wasn't about in a world of 140 character tweets, Facebook status updates and YouTube viral video sensations. These deep and rich treasure troves of content are also gaining mainstream attention, and it all seems to be drawing more and more energy towards podcasting: a medium that many have already written off.


text: Hi, We had a discussion with Moritz Muehlenhoff from the Security Team and he proposed to include Wireshark bugfix releases in Debian stable updates. The current stable, Lenny contains wireshark 1.0.3 and 1.0.8, the latest version form the 1.0.x branch was already packaged and uploaded to unstable. What do you think about Moritz's proposal? Joost Yervante Damad, who is the uploader for wireshark supported the approach, and I support it, too. (I packaged the last few wireshark versions, because the official maintainer, Frederic Peters did not have enough time. I'm a Wireshark developer, too.)

[Adding Frederic to CC] The advisory page for 1.0.8 mentions only the PCNFSD change as security-relevant: http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2009-03.html Your patch includes more changes, though. Where did you pick them from? Since the PCNFSD issue by itself does not offer the possibility to inject code, but only a crash triggerable through a malformed PCAP file, I think we should postpone this update and add the patch when new issues emerge. Traditionally we've been treating Wireshark crashes triggerable by network traffic as security issues, since someone could use tshark as a networking monitoring/intrusion detection tool. OTOH, both Wireshark's security record and the mere concept (analysing network traffic in a flaky implementation language like C) make this an impractical approach. I would like to propose to document in a file like README.Debian or README.Debian.security that Wireshark is great tool to analyse traffic patterns, but that crashes cannot be ruled out due to the complex nature of the task. Thus, it should not be deployed in scenarios where used for live network monitoring and live pure crash bugs unfixed. Of course all bugs which could trigger code injection will still be fixed in regular DSAs. Additionally we could talk to the stable release managers to allow the latest Wireshark point updates for each stable point update (since the QA done by upstream is quite good). There are similar exceptions already done for some packages, e.g. PostgreSQL. Cheers, Moritz

Alien Invasion Survival Guide
December 16, 1953: a black crescent-shaped UFO was spotted near the ranch of Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, one of Area 51's founders and the designer of the U-2 jet and SR-71 Blackbird.
December, 1987: a photograph of an alien being was captured by a retired policeman at Ilkey Moor, Yorkshire, UK.
November 4, 2004: a NASA environmental satellite captured an image showing large numbers of huge unidentified objects flying over a remote location in the Indian Ocean.

YES, they have arrived. The world government may deny it, but eye witnesses' accounts by thousands of people over the past decades have convinced us the otherwise. Are they friends or foes? Nobody knows, but we certainly don't want to get caught off guarded in the event of an offensive.
Knowledge is our best weapon against these extraterrestrial beings. That is why this book was being written - to help us survive the mother of all battles. This book is written for one and only one purpose - to ensure the survival and continuation of our species. This book is not intended to teach you how to win the war, nobody can, but to prepare you for the threat so that you can hopefully live another day and see light at the end of the tunnel.
Compiled from more than seven decades of reported close encounters, live video recordings, photographs and NASA satellite images, this book represents our current state of knowledge on extraterrestrial contacts.
From this book, you will learn all about the aliens, their physical features, their habits, their flying saucers, their weapon and defense systems, how to avoid them, and how to protect ourselves in the event of a close encounter.
Nobody knows when they will come knocking on our doors. If the unfortunate is to happen, just remember - no matter how dark the hours may be, dawn will always follow. So let us keep the light of hope alive.

The new maintainer is Luc Saillard. He has posted a patch which restores the PWC driver to the kernel, but without the problematic hook for the proprietary compression module. As an added bonus, the driver can deal with compressed streams from some cameras (those using chipsets 2 or 3), in some modes. Work still needs to be done for chipset 1 and the Bayer mode.
The final result is yet to be seen, but it would appear that the whole PWC episode is heading toward a best-case conclusion: a 100% free driver. It would be hard to see that outcome as anything but a good thing.
Is there an easy way of identifying which chipset you have?

The House has put procedures in place to deal with alleged breaches of the Code of Conduct. Find out more about how members' conduct is regulated.
The Code of Conduct provides members of the House of Lords with guidance on the standards of conduct expected of them in performing their parliamentary duties. The Code provides openness and accountability to the public, and is intended to reinforce public confidence in the way in which members of the House of Lords perform their parliamentary duties.
The Code of Conduct makes it clear that members of the House are required to act in the public interest, and in accordance with the seven general principles of conduct identified by the Committee on Standards in Public Life.
The Code also requires that all financial and relevant non-financial interests are disclosed in the Register of Lords' Interests.
In order to assist in openness and accountability the Code of Conduct requires that members shall register all relevant interests, in order to make clear what are the interests that might reasonably be thought to influence their parliamentary actions. Members are also required to declare when speaking in the House any interest which is a relevant to the subject under debate.
A separate set of rules governs members' use of House of Lords refreshment facilities and services for private events. In accordance with these rules, a log of members' private events is published quarterly.
The independent House of Lords Commissioner for Standards investigates allegations that members of the House of Lords have breached the Code of Conduct, including of the rules governing members' financial support and the use of parliamentary facilities.
The Sub Committee on Lords' Conduct periodically reviews the Code of Conduct. If the Commissioner for Standards finds that a member has breached the Code of Conduct, his report is presented to the Sub-Committee, which recommends the appropriate sanction.
The Committee for Privileges and Conduct reviews reports from the Commissioner and Sub-Committee. A member who has been found to have breached the Code of Conduct also has a right of appeal to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, which then reports its conclusions and recommendations to the House. The final decision rests with the House.

Luckenwalde's appearance owes much to notable architects from the beginning of the industrial age. This is evident in the Wilhelminian, Reformist and modern style residential and industrial buildings, which have been extensively restored; giving distinction to Luckenwalde's housing quality. There are also residential areas available for building private housing on the outskirts of the town, leading directly to the Baruth glacial valley.
In the town centre there are numerous retail establishments, specialist shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants inviting you to stroll around and linger.
Excellent support and care services for children complement the town's good infrastructure, which, as well as offering primary, secondary, sports-oriented schools and high schools, also boasts a grammar school and the district music school.
A well structured health care system is guaranteed by the wide spectrum of specialist doctors and the German Red Cross hospital. You can be spared long treks to public offices and authorities, as the most important can be found locally.
One of the nicest ways to explore Luckenwalde and its surroundings is via the over 200 kilometre long Fläming Skate. Europe's largest skating region with its small and large circuits is a Mecca for anyone who enjoys in-line skating or cycling. With direct links to the railway and the B101, Luckenwalde is the gateway to the Fläming Skate and therefore the ideal starting point to look around the historical treasures of the surrounding towns and villages surrounded by countryside.
By the way - Directly adjacent to the Fläming Skate, one of Germany's largest cross-country tracks is enough to make the heart of every BMX rider beat faster.
Another special feature of the town is the Fläming Therme spa. Here you can enjoy the fun of the adventure pool or relax from the daily grind in diverse sauna and solarium areas.
Art and culture lovers will find the events calendar full to the brim. Traditional events such as the annual Theatre Festival and Tower Festival have long been attracting thousands of visitors to the town.
Numerous buildings are also of national historical significance, such as the extensively restored town theatre, which is arguably one of the most beautiful theatres in Germany and ranks as a prominent monument to modern architecture, or the hat factory built by the architect Erich Mendelssohn.
Living and working in Luckenwalde, on Berlin's doorstep – Every day you can choose between the attractive district town and the thrill of city life!

Summing Up a Life
Porterfield retired from TCU in 1966 but continued teaching sporadically until his death at 82 in 1979. He lost his wife of fifty years shortly after retirement, but married again within two years. Most striking to those who knew him is that he kept learning and teaching right until the end, ironically teaching a course on gerontology a few months before he died. He had never taught that subject previously but said with his characteristic good humor that what he couldn't pick up about it in books he would supply with his own experience. This essay provides summative insight into Porterfield, gained first from a commencement address he gave and then from recollections from two who knew him well.
A Commencement Address
Sometimes you learn most about an accomplished scholar not by reading his/her published works but through remarks made to a popular audience. In addressing his grandson Donald S. Willis' graduation class in 1964 in East Texas, Porterfield gave his "formula" for life as L3I4F3E. This was supposed to be a sort of "chemical" formula for success, and it indicated that three words beginning with L, four with I, three with F and then one with E need to be appropriated if one is to live well. What were they? Porterfield says the first element, L, stands for love but there were three electrons in the orbital path of love: love of self, love of work, and love of others. You get love by giving it to others and without love you are at best possessed of only a right eye or a left ear, of no more than two teeth in the wrong places.
The three "L's" join with the four "I's" of identity; integrity; ideals and imagination. These four give the person power to hold meaningful values in life. Your identity consists in knowing who you are in relation with others with whom you come in contact. "You are never anyone by yourself alone...you always refer to the groups to which you belong." Ideals are what you stand for, and your integrity is how well you stand for those ideals. Imagination is the fourth "atom" in the element of the "I." Then follows a very "Porterfieldian" statement: "it (imagination) includes your ability to get into the next man's skin; to imagine yourself in the other man's place so as to understand him."
The third element, "F3," is for faith in God, in oneself and in others. "These three atoms of faith share their electrons with love; and love shares equally all its satellites with these three atoms of faith." The "I" element, the ego, also cannot exist without these. Finally, the fourth element, "E," though it could stand for many excellent things, signifies the "Eternal." "Only the sense of the eternal can keep from being over impressed with surface appearances when the going gets rough. Everybody has got to face trouble sometime in life--deep trouble. When it happens, one can survive only with a sense of the Eternal." So Porterfield exhorts the young people to adopt a creed he himself no doubt practiced.
Porterfield the Generalist
In his own assessment of Porterfield, Cain emphasizes the dual nature of the man as a scientist and a humanist. These two designations are, no doubt, correct, and nicely capture why he both sought a data-driven practice but also one in which his "grasp exceeded his reach." But rather than simply resting on these two terms, apt as they are, it might be helpful to say that Porterfield was a generalist in the best sense of the term: a man who saw connections between all areas of life and sociology and who lived in the strength of those connections. But he lived in a time in which the profession of sociology was gradually only recognizing the specialists, the hard-core empiricists (or theoreticians) who focused their energies on one or two problems. Porterfield wouldn't (or couldn't) do that. He believed deeply that social science was a means of achieving social betterment in a number of areas, from juvenile delinquency to aging to medical sociology to understanding crime or suicide.
His daughter's reminiscences capture the extent of his professional contributions: (1) his association with the Potishman Fund which was the forerunner of TCU Press; (2) the inspirational quality of his teaching and the remarkable success of his students in sociology, theology and other fields; (3) his numerous scholarly articles and books; (4) his creative genius and skill in establishing a new journal which now is one of the leading journals in medical sociology; (5) his service as an ordained minister in the Disciples of Christ Church; (6) his participation in community service projects; (7) the acclaim he garnered for TCU through his work. In addition, many fond reminscences of family members bear witness to the good life of a good man.
A Final Word--From a Former Student
One of Porterfield's enduring legacies was having inspired so many young people to continue their studies in sociology and, ultimately, to become sociologists themselves. His most famous student, Professor Jack P. Gibbs, emeritus professor from Vanderbilt, wrote at length to Leonard Cain about the contributions of Porterfield (237-240). He first mentions that Porterfield was a powerful presence for so many students who had themselves been "country bumpkins." He inspired them; instructed them; encouraged them; gave them an example of how a disciplined attention to scholarship and learning could lead to success in their careers.
But Gibbs probes further to try to understand what he calls the "transformational" ability of Porterfield. He says:
"I am driven to this conclusion: Dr. Porterfield was devoted to ideas, and many of his students came to share that devotion...Porterfield was the agent who introduced them to worlds largely alien to their experience--the intellectual, scholarly, and scientific....However, say what you will, an academician's greatest gift is his/her ability to inculcate a respect for ideas; and Porterfield's talent along that line cannot be exaggerated" (238)... "The suggestion is not that Porterfield should be remembered as one of sociology's great theorists...For that matter, he is best identified as a 'generalist,' in that his interests and talents transcended the formulation of theories..." (239).
"I am driven to this conclusion: Dr. Porterfield was devoted to ideas, and many of his students came to share that devotion...Porterfield was the agent who introduced them to worlds largely alien to their experience--the intellectual, scholarly, and scientific....However, say what you will, an academician's greatest gift is his/her ability to inculcate a respect for ideas; and Porterfield's talent along that line cannot be exaggerated" (238)...
"The suggestion is not that Porterfield should be remembered as one of sociology's great theorists...For that matter, he is best identified as a 'generalist,' in that his interests and talents transcended the formulation of theories..." (239).
However, as Gibbs recognized, such a one would not be honored sufficiently for his contributions to sociology as such a generalist.
So, there you have it. Leonard has given us an informative, detailed, varied meal for a biography of his teacher. The personal stories of people that knew him, combined with analysis of his ideas that Cain brings, gives a more balanced view of the man than either alone could have provided. We have a large man in these pages, whom dozens were proud to call teacher, and whom many, including myself, now admire, though from afar.

Competency to Make Medical Decisions
Consent is a legal-medical doctrine that stems from the common law tort of trespass, due process, and court cases of note; including Schloendorf v. New York Hospital, the Nazi War Crimes Tribunal (Medical Cases), Salgo v. Leland Stanford Junior University, Cobbs v. Grant, and Reise v. St. Marys Hospital. As a legal doctrine, its elements are (1) disclosure, (2) voluntariness, and (3) competence. It is not absolute, however. Exceptions to consent include: (1) emergencies; (2) patient requests not to be informed; and (3) therapeutic privilege. Lack of informed consent was once considered battery. For policy reasons, it is now malpractice.
Capacity is a clinical determination that addresses the integrity of mental functions. Competency is a legal determination that addresses societal interest in restricting a persons right to make decisions or do acts because of incapacity. The fundamental issue is whether the person can be held accountable for the consequences of his or her decisions and actions. Both capacity and competency may be global or specific. Medical consent is specific. Because it is specific, it cannot be assessed in the abstract. Its determination depends on the decision, the skills necessary to make it, and the degree to which illness impairs those skills. Patients are legally presumed competent to consent or refuse medical care. The presumption of competence, however, is rebutted by evidence of incapacity.
Incapacity is present if a mental status defect renders the individual unable to understand and knowingly and intelligently act upon consent information using rational processes. This is a determination made in the first instance by the treating doctor. A competent decision remains valid even after the patient lapses into incompetence. The law, in its simplicity, however, presumes the incompetent patient is unconscious or demented rather than impaired yet still capable of acting. When this is not the case, psychiatric consultation may be requested to opine on competency by assessing mental status defects and their impact on capacity to give or withhold consent.
Consent is legally presumed in an emergency. An emergency exists when care is required to alleviate severe pain or when a condition, which if not immediately treated, will lead to serious disability or death and the patient is incompetent. The emergency exception assumes the physician does not know the competent wishes of the patient and that no surrogate decision maker is availability. The emergency exception allows treatment to correct the emergency.
If a situation is not an emergency, consent must be obtained from the patients legal representative; i.e. durable power of attorney for health care or guardian/conservator of person to whom decisional powers have been granted. If there is no legal representative, a court order is appropriate. A court order requires a probability that the condition if untreated will become life endangering or result in a serious threat to the physical or mental health of the patient. A petition with an attached medical declaration must be filed in Superior Court. A lawyer will be appointed to represent the patient. However, built-in procedural delays can be waived for good medical cause. In many cases, obtaining a court order is overly intrusive as well as cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming. In selected situations that are neither emergent nor chronic, the California Medical Association suggests treating doctors rely on medical custom -- so long as there is no question that the patient if competent would refuse consent.
Established medical custom allows the physician to turn to close family members (in the following order): spouse or registered domestic partner, adult child, parents, adult brother/sister, and grandchildren. The treatment must be in the best interests of the patient and the substituted consent should, to the extent known, reflect the patients wishes. The motives of the surrogate should not be suspect and surrogates of equal rank cannot be in conflict.
There will be infrequent situations involving unconscious or demented, non-protesting patients who have no surrogate decision maker where the physician, will choose to proceed with necessary treatment. Such situations pose some degree of legal risk to the physician. However, good care and better charting will minimize the risk. Lack of consent is battery. Lack of informed consent is a malpractice and liability hinges on whether a reasonable patient would have consented. If incompetence is likely to persist and there is no emergency, guardianship proceedings are indicated.
Legally, a patient is incompetent if unable to do the following: (1) respond knowingly and intelligently to questions about recommended treatment; (2) participate in treatment decisions by means of rational thought processes; and (3) understand the items of minimum basic medical treatment information with respect to that treatment. Basic medical treatment information includes: the nature and seriousness of the illness, the nature of the treatment, the probable degree and duration of any benefits and risks of any medical intervention that is being recommended by the person's health care providers, and the consequences of lack of treatment, and the nature, risks, and benefits of any reasonable alternatives.
Requests for psychiatric consultation arise when a patient is not globally incompetent (unconscious or senile) and is able to evidence a choice - usually a refusal of care - and the primary provider wants a second opinion on the competency of the refusal. As you know, LPS does not authorize medical treatment - only psychiatric treatment. Your role in these cases is to examine the patient and determine if the patient is incompetent for informed consent purposes; and, if so, whether a mental status defect is responsible for it. If a court petition under Probate Code §3208 is anticipated, your consultative note should be detailed enough to serve as the declaration that the primary provider will attach to the court petition. The primary provider, of course, is responsible for explaining the purely medical issues of the case. Of course, if the patient independently meets LPS criteria, more will be required.
Before examining the patient, ask the primary provider to explain to you the proposed treatment, the informed consent information, the risk to the patient should treatment be withheld, and the nature of attempts to obtain consent. Keep in mind that the scope of information given the patient who is refusing care is broader than information that must be given the consenting patient. You will then examine the patient to determine: (1) did the patient make a decision; (2) was the decision based on informed consent; (3) is there a mental status defect; (4) is the mental status defect the causal link between the treatment refusal and the impaired consent. If you determine that patient is incompetent to refuse the recommended care, the next move is up to the primary care provider.

Death in space
Olaf Stampf | Spiegel | 23 October 2013
An astronaut fact-checks the film "Gravity". Getting a puncture in your space-suit isn't all bad. "When you're slowly running out of oxygen, everything seems funny. You slowly nod off. I experienced this phenomenon in an altitude chamber during my training as an astronaut. At some point, someone in the group starts cracking bad jokes. Our brains are gentle with us. A person who dies alone in space dies a cheerful death."
The decline of Wikipedia
Tom Simonite | MIT Technology Review | 22 October 2013
Wikipedia's community has built a magnificent resource, but its glory days are gone. The volunteer workforce of the English-language Wikipedia has shrunk by more than a third since 2007, and is still shrinking. The "loose collective" running the site today, 90% male, operates a "crushing bureaucracy" with an "often abrasive atmosphere" that deters newcomers. "It looks like Wikipedia is strangling itself."
Gambling with civilisation
Paul Krugman | New York Review Of Books | 22 October 2013
William Nordhaus's book, "The Climate Casino", gives a calm and reasoned view of the dangers from climate change. But that won't be enough to win over the sceptical and the indifferent. "Given the current state of American politics, the combination of self-interest, ideology, and hostility to science constitutes a huge roadblock to action, and rational argumentation isn't likely to help. Meanwhile, time is running out."
Biology's brave new world
Laurie Garrett | Foreign Affairs | 22 October 2013
All the key barriers to the artificial synthesis of viruses and bacteria have been overcome. "The biologist has become an engineer, coding new life forms as desired." Which may produce breakthroughs in public health; equally, it may produce plagues and other horrors on a global scale, as the science gets easier to replicate. "The tracking of novel DNA and life forms should be implemented on a voluntary or mandatory basis immediately."
The origins of the concept of species
John Wilkins | Evolving Thoughts | 22 October 2013
The concept of "species" is a useful organising tool for science, not a category that exists in nature. "We really do see the patterns in the world we name species. The mistake arises in thinking that our perceptual biases somehow give us the structure of the world". Usage comes from Athanasius Kircher, a 17th Century Jesuit who calculated how many kinds of animal could have fitted on to Noah's Ark, and used the Latin word species for "kind".
The greatest philosopher of the Twentieth Century
David Papineau | Times Literary Supplement | 21 October 2013
The title may well belong to FP Ramsey, who died at 26, having "figured out the principles governing subjective probability, and so opened the way to decision theory, game theory and much work in the foundations of economics… Contemporary debates about truth, meaning, knowledge, logic and the structure of scientific theories all take off from positions first defined by Ramsey." He translated Wittgenstein, who overshadowed him.
Bad government software
James Kwak | Baseline Scenario | 18 October 2013
Why do so many government software projects go off the rails? "Big, custom projects are unique by definition, so they are sold as promises, not as finished products. Every vendor promises the same thing, so the one who promises to do it at the lowest cost often wins; when the project turns out late, bad, and over budget, too many executives have too much invested in its success to admit defeat."

I hail from Norfolk, Virginia; there I attended Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School in Virginia Beach. Currently, I am a junior at Hofstra University, pursuing a major in Print Journalism and minors in Political Science and Writing Studies and Composition.
This year, I have the most distinct please of serving as the President of Hofstra University's Model United Nations' Club as well as my second term on the Hofstra University Model United Nations' Secretariat. I have participated in Model United Nations since my freshman year of high school and competed in twelve conferences since then. I am truly looking forward to carrying on the legacy of this Conference.
This strategic simulation is aimed at providing you with hands-on encounters in high-level politicking while encouraging you to widen your perspective of International Affairs. I have been working since last May to put together a dynamic Conference, with a team of exceedingly hard-working individuals that have an immense love for debate and an unwavering drive to create an incredibly thought-provoking experience. It is my sincere hope that when you leave this Conference, you will have gained a deeper understanding of the role of the United Nations, as well as an enormous sense of fulfillment from your accomplishments.

While my life with bipolar has been a roller coaster ride, there have been periods I was firmly strapped in and enjoyed the ride.
The decade starting in 1996 was a time of peace and purpose — at home with my family and at church in my ministry. Serving as pastor in a small village in the Finger Lakes region of New York, home schooling our children, camping at state parks. cheering on the basketball teams, and going to plays, we settled into a rhythm still marked by peaks and valleys, but secure. Solid.
I began to conceive of a way to grow old with fond memories of the past and fixed faith in the future – like Lyle Lovett's old porch.
This old porch is like a big old red and white hereford bull
Standing under a mesquite tree
Out in agua dulce
And he just keeps on playing hide and seek
With that hot august sun
Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin'
Cause his work is never doneAnd this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions
And a guacamole salad
And you can get'em down at the lasalle hotel
In old downtown
With iced tea and a waitress
And she will smile every timeAnd this old porch is the palace walk-in
On the main street of texas
That's never seen the day
Of g and r and xs
With that '62 poster
That's almost faded down
And a screen without a picture
Since giant came to townAnd this old porch is like a weathered, gray-haired
Seventy years of texas
Who's doing all he can
Not to give in to the city
And he always takes the rent late
So long as i run his cattleAnd he picks me up at dinnertime
And i listen to him rattleHe says the brazos still runs muddy
Just like she's run all along
And there ain't never been no cane to grind
The cotton's all but gone
And you know this brand new chevrolet
Hell it was something back in '60
But now there won't nobody listen to him
'cause they all think he's crazyAnd this old porch is just a long time
Of waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back
And not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down
And the laughter of the curse of luck
From all of those passerby
Who said we'd never get back upThis old porch is just a long time
Of waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back
And not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down
And the laughter of the curse of luck
From all of those sons-of-bitches
Who said we'd never get back up
("This Old Porch" is the twelfth song on my autobiographical Spotify playlist Delight in Disorder)

This week's episode of Talking Red is loaded with David Sarch, Dan Pennucci, and John Fischer talking about four games by the New Jersey Devils, Cam Janssen, goalie deals, roster issues, Jay Pandolfo, World Juniors, and so much more.
The New Jersey Devils conceded a late equalizer but Eric Gelinas' shot got past Henrik Lundqvist in overtime to beat the New York Rangers 4-3 and end a three game winless streak. This is a recap of an exciting rivalry game.
The New Jersey Devils are hoping to snap a three game winless streak by snapping Our Hated Rivals for the third time this season. The game is in Rangerstown, this is your gamethread, and you can talk about the game here until the recap is up.
The New Jersey Devils went up 1-0 early in a sloppy game that only got worse against the Detroit Red Wings. By the end, they lost 3-1 with a mere 11 shots on net. The title says it all, this (hopefully) was a rock bottom performance by the Devils.
For the first time in a long time, the New Jersey Devils will be visited by the Detroit Red Wings at the Rock tonight. This preview goes into how good Detroit is and what the Devils may want to do tonight to try and beat them.
A wild third period that saw the New Jersey Devils tie up and go ahead of the Montreal Canadiens ended with a late deflection for an equalizer that stunned the Rock. The Devils lost in the shootout 4-3 and this recap is not sure how to react to it.
Tonight's the second half of a home-and-home with the Montreal Canadiens. The New Jersey Devils hope to rebound with a result at the Rock and this preview goes over the game in light of what happened on Monday night.

Title: | Perceptions of Masculinity and Femininity from Resumes |
Author: |
Abstract: | The influence of individuals' personality perceptions on gay and lesbian applicants was investigated. Of interest in this study is the inclusion of sexual orientation cues in applicant resumes. We hypothesized that participants would assign gay male and lesbian applicants with personality traits uncharacteristic of their gender. This study consisted of 234 participants. We manipulated the resume job-type to reflect a masculine or feminine job, the gender of the applicant to reflect a male or female, and the sexual orientation of the applicant to reflect a heterosexual orientation or homosexual orientation. Participants examined resumes containing indicators of the applicant's sexual orientation and were asked to evaluate personality traits of the applicant. Results suggest that individuals use the implicit inversion theory when assessing the masculinity and femininity of potentially homosexual applicants. Support was found for the hypothesis that individuals perceive homosexual males and lesbians as gender atypical regarding some traits. |

In my last post, I suggested a New Year's Resolution in which you give small gifts to a friend or loved one on regular occasions during the year. The Memorable Gifts Gifts Under $30 section is a great resource for gifts that are affordable enough to give often. Memorable Gifts can help you accomplish that easy New Year's Resolution, but there's more.
Memorable Gifts can help you with yet another resolution that should be on everyone's list of things they want to do better this year. You know what I am talking about—Being more eco-friendly.
You may remember a previous blog about how making purchases online is an eco-friendly decision. Let's recap the ways that shopping online can help you be more eco-friendly.
1) Buying gifts online reduces your carbon footprint (and your gasoline costs) by eliminating the need to drive to a brink-and-mortar store.
2) Buying online eliminates a large portion of the shipping route. By shipping directly to you, your package is much more efficiently transported, thereby reducing waste associated with shipping and transportation.
3) Gifts are transported already gift-wrapped, so aside from making your life easier, you also save in the above ways by reducing the would-be waste associated with transporting and receiving the wrapping materials.
Buying online is being more eco-friendly and Memorable Gifts can help.
