2003 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Terrence O. Brady, RRT; Dean R. Hess, PhD, RRT, FAARC.
Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston MA.
Background: Inhaled albuterol is commonly administered to mechanically ventilated patients. The Airlife Valved Tee Adapter (Allegiance Healthcare Corp) can be used to attach a nebulizer into the ventilator circuit in a manner that does not open the circuit. The CircuVent (DHD Healthcare) allows for delivery of aerosolized medications without removing the heat-and-moisture exchanger from the circuit.
Hypothesis: Albuterol delivery through an endotracheal tube is affected by the use of the Valved Tee Adapter and the CircuVent.
Methods: A Draeger Evita 4 ventilator was set to deliver a tidal volume of 0.5 L, respiratory rate 12/min, and a flow of 30 L/min. The circuit was attached to an endotracheal tube (Mallinckrodt, 8 mm inner diameter), the distal end of which was attached to a Puritan- Bennett D/Flex filter. The filter was attached to a test lung with a compliance of 50 mL/cm H2O. A Hudson Micro Mist nebulizer was filled with 4 mL containing 2.5 mg of albuterol and operated from the nebulizer control on the ventilator. The Valved Tee Adapter and the standard nebulizer T-piece were each used with a dry circuit, a humidified circuit (35 C, 100% RH) and the CircuVent with a dry circuit. Albuterol washed from the filter was measured by UV spectrophometry. Each set of conditions was repeated in triplicate.
Results: Albuterol delivery was significantly less for the Valved Tee Adaptor compared to the standard T-adapter (P<0.001). Albuterol delivery was significantly reduced with a wet circuit (P<0.001) and the CircuVent (P<0.001). The most efficient delivery was with a dry circuit and a standard T-adapter. Use of the Valved Tee Adapter with the CircuVent resulted in a reduction in delivered albuterol of > 50% compared to the standard T-adapter.
Conclusions: Albuterol delivery by nebulizer during mechanical ventilation was affected by how the nebulizer was introducted into the circuit, whether the gas was humidified or dry, and the use of the CircuVent. If a Valved Tee Adapter or the CircuVent is used, it may be necessary to increase the nebulizer dose to achieve an equivalent therapeutic dose. These data should be subjected to clinical study. albuterol amount (mg) 0.2 0.16 0.12 0.08 0.04 0 Standard T-adapter Valved T-adapter Cidry wet rcuVent

It also due to the fact that petrol engines (and particularly small ones) have got more and more over-square in recent years so they have a shorter stroke and wider pistons need to be reved more and produce more bhp at peak but less torque. I am not sure what the thinking behind this is but probably due to reasons of compactness and also that over-square engines have wider bores so have more room for more vales (i.e 16 valve engines) and bigger valves which are better for efficiency.

A Harvard-educated physicist and five University of Miami undergrads marinated themselves in a steamy classroom last summer to ponder a curious question: Can math help predict terrorist attacks?
They concluded it can, which led to a rare academic achievement, publication in the premier research journal Science.
The publication is a virtual Who's Who in the world of scientists. Co-founded in 1880 by Thomas Alva Edison, the journal over the years has published research by such luminaries as Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble, the astronomer for whom the orbiting telescope is named.

Offstage, up-and-coming singer, songwriter, and guitarist Zach Heckendorf appears to be an ordinary young man: hip-hop-loving, T-shirt and jeans-wearing, shaggy-haired with a shy smile and modest demeanor. But when Heckendorf grabs a guitar and jumps on a stage, the 20-year-old Denver native is transformed.
During shows in New York and Los Angeles in December, Heckendorf mesmerized crowds with original songs like "All The Right Places," the first single from his debut album The Cool Down, and silenced the hold-outs chattering in the back with an astonishing cover of Dr. Dre's "Forgot About Dre," spitting every line with impressive intensity and speed.
As a kid, Heckendorf was enamored with pop-punk bands like blink-182 and Green Day, but his taste began to shift after he was introduced to Aesop Rock and other indie acts like Broken Social Scene, Dilated Peoples, Modest Mouse, and Postal Service.

November 28, 2014
RENO, Nev. (AP) - It may be the dead of winter, but federal land managers already are preparing for a repeat of summer drought conditions in Nevada.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say it's possible drought conditions could again force the removal of livestock or temporary closure of grazing allotments on some federal land this summer.
The agency's Elko District Office has released an environmental assessment detailing how it plans to respond to drought conditions, and has asked grazing permitees to meet with BLM staff to assess range conditions before turning out livestock.
Nevada Cattlemen's Association President JJ Goicoechea says last year was one of the toughest years ever for public lands ranchers because of less forage stemming from drought and wildfires.
He's hoping a wet spring will ease drought concerns.

The YAI faculty works together to develop an integrated curriculum teaching classes in a wide variety of subjects:
- Acting
- Movement for the Actor
- Voice for the Actor
- Improv
- Singing for the Theatre
- Dance for the Theatre
- Scene Study and Auditioning
Required Orientation Workshop:
- Saturday June 21, 12:30 - 2:30pm, at Seattle Children's Theatre
Training Dates/Times:
In Summer 2014, the University of Washington will host YAI. Classes will meet at Hutchinson Hall.

Nothing evokes comfort, warmth, and mouthwatering hospitality like the dishes prepared by people who actually grow the food. From Susan Herrmann Loomis, author of French Farmhouse Cookbook, Italian Farmhouse Cookbook, and The Great American Seafood Cookbook, Farmhouse Cookbook is the result of a 20,000-mile trek across rural America in search of the soul of the family farm.
Passionate in her quest to taste the freshest corn, understand the basics of cattle ranching, and find out just how an artichoke grows, Herrmann Loomis contacted legions of farmers who generously shared their time, their knowledge, their homes, and their recipes.
Although Farmhouse Cookbook includes the best pot roast, meat loaf, and stew you're ever likely to encounter, it goes well beyond the expected meat-and-potatoes fare. Here is Chew Chang's Chicken and Mustard Green Soup, Lentil Salad with Smoked Turkey and Tarragon, Pork Loin with Coriander and Garlic Crust, a Basque Fourteen-Hour Leg of Lamb, Lemony Herbed Chicken Wings, Nate Pennell's Mulligan Stew with Blueberry Dumplings, Amish Corn Pudding, and Mary Navarette's Garlicky Enchiladas.
With profiles of farms and farmers, tips, lore, and an almonds-to-zucchini lexicon, Farmhouse Cookbook is as irresistible as the ring of the dinner bell over the fields.

Jonathan Toews unconcerned about Hart Trophy snub
BY MARK LAZERUS firstname.lastname@example.com May 10, 2013 9:24PM
The Hawks aren't a one-man team, which might have hurt the Hart chances of Jonathan Toews (rear). | Getty Images
Updated: June 13, 2013 7:06PM
Remove Alex Ovechkin from the Washington Capitals, and what do you get? Likely a team that doesn't contend, even in the NHL's weakest division. Remove John Tavares from the New York Islanders, and what do you get? Undoubtedly a team that misses the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season. Remove Sidney Crosby from the Pittsburgh Penguins, and what do you get? Well, it happened for the last quarter of the season — still a pretty darn good team, but one that couldn't come close to matching the 15-game winning streak they put together with him.
Remove Jonathan Toews from the Blackhawks, and what do you get? A team with Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp. A team with a rising star in Brandon Saad, a double-threat third line, two penalty-killing dynamos in Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger. A team with a goaltender in Corey Crawford who has begun to crack the league's elite.
"We have so much depth," Kane said. "It seems like throughout the season, every game we've won, a new player has stepped up."
So for Eastern Conference writers and those who don't watch the Hawks game in and game out, who don't see everything Toews does that can't be found on a scoresheet — in his zone, without the puck, on special teams, in the dressing room — it's easy to go for the biggest names and the gaudiest stats when it comes to voting for the Hart Trophy, the NHL's most valuable player award.
And that's what happened, as Toews was snubbed by the Hart voters. Crosby, Ovechkin and Tavares were the three finalists announced Friday. Of course, Toews, in his typical fashion, shrugged off the MVP talk after the series-clinching win over the Minnesota Wild and said Kane should be the pick.
"There's another guy across the room that deserves it just as much, probably more," Toews said. "To have two guys in the talks like that, it always shows that you have a great supporting cast. It's nice. It's an honor. But you don't get to that point if your team doesn't have success the way we did this year. So huge credit to those guys."
The Hawks' tremendous depth might have hurt Toews' Hart chances, but it also is a big reason why they won the Presidents' Trophy, and knocked off the Wild in five games.
The top line of Saad, Toews and Hossa didn't break out until Game 5. It didn't much matter, as Sharp, Kane and Andrew Shaw's third line picked up much of the slack.
Meanwhile, the Wild's top line of Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise and Charlie Coyle combined for one goal and a minus-17 rating. Not surprisingly, the thin, top-heavy Wild managed seven goals in five games.
"That's the kind of team we have," Sharp said. "Any given night, someone's scoring and helping us out a different way to win the game. We've never relied on one or two players to carry the load. It's a full team effort."
Added Kruger, who scored his first career playoff goal in Game 5: "We have a lot of great players on this team, not just at the top. Everyone here can contribute."
Now that the Hawks' top line has joined in on the fun — Hossa scored twice in Game 5, Toews had two primary assists, and Saad chipped in another — the Hawks only look better, deeper and scarier. Toews very well might have been the best and most-valuable all-around player in the league, but he certainly got — and continues to get — plenty of his help from his friends.
While that depth might have cost him the Hart Trophy, it just might help him get a nicer piece of hardware at the end of the season.

USPS R2-D2 & C-3PO Standee
Posted By
The USPS has recruited R2-D2 & C-3PO! This very cool 3-D promotional standee is now appearing at a local post office near you. Also, Be sure to grab an entry form from this display for your chance to win a free trip to CELEBRATION IV!
Word from the inside says that LFL & the USPS plan to sell the displays on eBay after the promo and donate all of the proceeds to charity.
Special thanks to Trent for the pic!
This just in from David U. -
"Hey just wanted to let you guys know that the post office might not be auctioning off those standees when the promotion is over. On the back of them there's a sticker that says (I can't remember the whole thing exactly) this stand up must be destroyed by the end of business day May 26th. It also said it was the promotion departments duty to "cut it into pieces"
So if you've got a friend at the post office, you might wanna call in that favor now.
Here's a snapshot of the sticker courtesy of David U.

Lost Confidence Can't Be Restored & Gold's Final Move
Today a legend in the business surprised King World News when he said, "Gold is going to keep going up until the US dollar is finished. So the reign of the US dollar will come to an end." Keith Barron, who consults with major gold companies around the world, and is responsible for one of the largest gold discoveries in the last quarter century, also said, "At that point the global collapse will be in full-swing."
On the heels of another major country being downgraded yesterday, Barron also warned, "The real problem here is that you can't restore confidence at this point in the cycle." Here is what he had to say: "Europe is getting worse all the time. The IMF is now saying that European banks may have to sell off an additional $4.5 trillion of assets. At the same time, they are trying to push various governments for increased austerity measures, and it's not working. Either the countries are simply not implementing the increased austerity or they are not implementing them to the extent that the troika wants."
Keith Barron continues:
"Some countries are refusing, and in addition they are having more civil unrest. The unemployment rate is now a staggering 25% in Greece. It has reached a mind boggling 52% unemployment for those under the age of 25 in Spain. These are truly incredible numbers, and as I said, they are fomenting very intense civil unrest.
This is going to lead to the death of democracy if something is not done....
Continue reading the Keith Barron interview below...
To hear which company legendary Keith Barron founded, personally
invested millions into, and is poised to become
a Uranium superpower click on the logo:
"The only way to paper over the cracks here is to throw money at it. So we see the European Central Bank doing that, and this is just going to be the wave of the future. Europeans are also worried about increasing capital controls, and right now there are large movements of capital going into physical gold. This is what people are doing to preserve their wealth in Europe, moving into gold.
At some point these policies are going to become tremendously inflationary and you are going to see interest rates begin to rise quite precipitously. At that point the global collapse will be in full-swing. The real problem here is that you can't restore confidence at this point in the cycle. At the end of the day, the only way to get out of this type of situation is to repudiate the debt."
Barron also added: "Gold is going to keep going up until the US dollar is finished. So the reign of the US dollar will come to an end, and we will see a new currency. But in the meantime, you could see gold go to $3,000, $5,000, $7,000, $10,000, who knows? It's not really an appreciation in the price of gold, it's a drop in the currency.
This is something people don't really understand. Gold is going up because the global fiat currencies are becoming worth less and less all the time. If you look at a chart of the US dollar over the last century, the Fed has virtually destroyed the US dollar already, and this will just accelerate going forward.
So all we need to see here is for major pension funds to begin to move into gold, and you will see some real fireworks because the availability of physical gold is already tight in this market. Eventually there will be a mass movement into gold during this destructive cycle, and the daily movements in the price of gold will literally shock people, even the most veteran of the goldbugs.
Putting aside the consolidation in gold, we don't yet know what will push the price of gold through $1,800 and eventually to new all-time highs, but what we do know is that the intensity of this global crisis will only continue to escalate and it's absolutely critical that investors protect themselves and their families from what is coming."

In my travels of Scotland when I was in Glasgow(sp?) I met a man of the cloth there Thomas Macphearson(sp?) and his title he told me was Vicar of Glasgow and the people around that knew him or of him just called him Vicar. To me this is a title a man of religion also. The use of just Vicar refers to a roming holyman or one who has choosen to live with the people and not follow the ways of the living in the church.

Undergoing a chiropractic diagnosis, which is performed by a doctor of chiropractic, can help determine the kind of treatment plan that is most suitable for the patient and his or her condition.
The Types of Evaluation and Diagnostic Procedures
Before anything else, a doctor of chiropractic will want to know about your physical complaints. With this knowledge, both of you can form a general idea of your expectations and goals for chiropractic treatment. All physical problems, even the littlest ones, which make it hard for you to perform certain tasks, can be shared with the doctor. It can help him or her analyze your condition properly and recommend the best course of action. Describe any feeling of numbness, tingling, weakness, or any other nerve problems.
Aside from this, he or she will need to know your medical health history, which may include current health problems, any medication you are taking, past injuries and disorders, your lifestyle, diet, sleeping habits, exercises, any mental stresses you might have or had, and your use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco and other substances.
After discussing these points with you, the doctor of chiropractic has to conduct a physical exam. This may include checking of blood pressure and if necessary, x-rays. This can help determine spinal mobility, as well as determine any other pathology causing the physical complaints.
The Diagnostic Categories
When assessing the pain felt in the lower back region, a differential diagnosis is used. The triage concept in classifying puts the diagnostic results into, as the name suggests, three main diagnoses.
The first group consists of the potentially serious conditions including tumor, infection, fracture, major neurological problem referred to as cauda equina, local open wound or burn, prolonged bleeding referred to as hemophilia, artificial joint implant problems, and pacemaker problems among many others. Such conditions can be very painful, debilitating or, in some cases, even fatal.
For potentially serious injuries, the doctor of chiropractic will usually recommend that the patient visit a relevant medical specialist or surgeon. Chiropractic care can, then, be used to co-manage the condition of the patient with other treatment plans made by pain specialists and other health care practitioners and professionals.
The second group consists of conditions arising from nerve problems. When the nerve root in the lower portion of the back compressed, it can cause sciatica or radiculopathy. Usually, the pinching of the nerve root can be caused by a lumbar herniated disc, spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis.
The third group consists of non-specific conditions that can cause mechanical back pain along or near the lumbar spine. This type of lower back pain is one of the most common presentations.
By visiting and exploring the official site of Total Health Chiropractic at totalhealthchirohwy58.com/, patients and interested individuals may learn more about the whole process of chiropractic care, the diagnosis, treatments, reevaluations, and other interesting and useful information.
Also, patients and interested individuals may visit the contact page of totalhealthchirohwy58.com/ to get in touch with a certified and experienced doctor of chiropractic.

As explained in What It Takes to Lose It All, the goal of your diet and weight loss plan should not be to lose weight, but to lose body fat. Losing muscle results in a lower metabolism, the rate at which you burn calories, and can ultimately cause your weight loss plan to fail.
Muscle is healthy, makes you look better, and burns calories. It's a good thing. But a scale doesn't tell you whether you are losing body fat or muscle, so you could be losing muscle and not realize it.
A scale also doesn't tell you if you are gaining muscle. Again, muscle is good. But when you are on a weight loss program, gaining muscle can be both confusing and discouraging if you don't realize how it's affecting your weight.
The solution is not to judge your progress by weight alone, but to calculate the percentage of your weight that is body fat and make it your goal to reduce that number, not just your weight.
And once you have determined what percentage of your weight is body fat, it is easy to estimate your muscle mass so that you can monitor that, too, and ensure that you don't lose muscle along with the fat.
Measuring your weight on a scale is the worst way to track your progress. Daily fluctuations in the amount of water in your body, caused by the amount of salt you eat and other factors, cause your weight to vary. These fluctuations have nothing to do with permanent weight loss, and will only serve to frustrate you.
If you choose to use a scale to monitor your progress, it is generally advised that you not weigh yourself more than once a week. You should also weigh yourself first thing in the morning, when the water content of your body will be more consistent.
They say that mirrors don't lie, and a mirror is actually a great way to see changes in your body. The problem is that many of us are overly critical of ourselves and never seem to like what we see in the mirror. We always find something we don't like and dwell on it, so it helps to have something less subjective to go by.
Clothes don't lie either, and seeing how your clothes fit is a great way to observe the changes in your body. Or if you'd like to be a little more accurate and keep records of your progress, you can take measurements as described in our newsletter Measuring Success.
However, none of these methods makes it very clear whether or not you are losing muscle along with the fat. So here are some methods of calculating body fat percentage with which you can measure both fat and muscle loss, or gain.
The "gold standard" for measuring body fat percentage involves weighing your body in water. You sit on a seat that hangs from a scale and are submerged into water. Because fat floats and muscle sinks, the more body fat you have, the less you will weigh.
This process, called hydrostatic testing, if most often performed in hospitals and university labs. While it is the most accurate method, it is obviously not a practical means of monitoring your progress on a weekly basis.
There are many other methods of testing involving chemical analysis and electronic devices. But we will concentrate on the two methods that are most practical for monitoring your progress at home: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and skinfold measurements.
BIA sends a small electrical charge or current through your body and determines the percentage of body fat by measuring the resistance. The determination is based on the fact that muscle, with its high content of water, is more conductive than fat. Thus muscle tends to transmit the current, while fat impedes it.
If the test is performed in a doctor's office, it is likely that one electrode will be attached to your wrist and another to your foot. The BIA device measures how much current passes from one electrode to the other.
You can perform a similar test at home on a BIA scale with great convenience. You simply stand on the scale, barefoot, and the current passes from the electrode under one foot to the electrode under the other. Because the water content of your body affects the measurement, it is best to use the scale first thing in the morning.
The body fat percentage calculated by a BIA scale is not likely to be as accurate as the skinfold method described next, but monitoring the relative change can be very useful. Making the measurement is as simple as removing your socks, and the results are instant.
Pictured is a BIA scale manufactured by Tanita.
Skinfold measuring uses a simple pair of calipers to measure subcutaneous fat, which lies just beneath your skin. While this method is not as simple as standing on a scale, it is more accurate and can easily be done at home.
The method is to pinch a fold of skin between your thumb and index finger, and then use the calipers to measure the thickness of the fold. Repeating this process at several different locations increases the accuracy of the measurement.
The location(s) to measure and the formula for calculating body fat percentage will be included in the instructions for the calipers you purchase. You can also purchase electronic, digital calipers that do the math for you.
Pictured are two sets of AccuFitness calipers. The first set is manual; the second set is digital.
In his book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, Tom Venuto writes that an optimal body fat percentage for a non-athlete man is around 10-14%, while it is around 16-20% for a non-athlete woman. These percentages should provide a lean appearance. The difference between genders is due to the fact that men are naturally more muscular (lean) than women.
Searching the web for recommended body fat percentages, you may find these numbers a little low. It depends on what you want for yourself. If you want a "ripped" look, you may want to go even lower. You will also find charts suggesting that the numbers increase with age. They typically do, but nothing says that you have to be typical.
The American Council on Exercise provides the following ranges for men and women with classifications based on varying levels of body fat:
|Essential Fat
|25% and above
|32% and above
|Source: American Council on Exercise (2003) ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 3rd Ed., Ch. 6, Pg. 188, Table 6.14, General Body Fat Percentage Categories
At the top of the page we spoke of the importance of maintaining muscle while losing fat. Now that you know what percentage of your body weight is fat, it is easy to calculate how much of your weight is fat. The remainder of your body weight, which includes your muscle, bones and organs, is called lean body mass.
To calculate your body weight in terms of fat and lean body mass, first multiply your total body weight by your body fat percentage. This will give you the weight of your body fat. Now subtract this number from your total body weight, and you will have the weight of your lean body mass.
For example, if your total body weight is 200 pounds, and your body fat percentage is 25%:
You can now track the changes in both your body fat and lean body mass, the latter indicating whether or not there is a change in the amount of muscle on your body.

M42 in Orion
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a wonderful shot of the Great Nebula in Orion, focusing in on LL Ori and a pronounced bowshock as the nebular gases boil off.
Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Women's basketball loses 61-48 to Canisius
Paulk finishes with game-high and career-high 17 points
November 27, 2012Tweet
VESTAL, N.Y. – Ashley Wilkes and Jamie Ruttle each scored 13 points as Canisius (2-3) held off Binghamton (0-6) in a non-conference women's basketball game on Tuesday night at the Events Center. The game was televised regionally by Time Warner Cable Sports.
With the loss, the Bearcats are off to their worst start since moving up to the NCAA Division I level in 2001. The previous mark of 0-5 was set by the 2007-08 squad.
"It's frustrating to have another loss," head coach Nicole Scholl said. "We certainly played well in spurts tonight but we have a young team and once we figure out how to play together for a full 40 minutes, the wins will come."
The loss overshadowed a career-high and game-high 17 points by junior guard Vaneeshia Paulk. She sank 11 of 15 free throws and added six rebounds as well as a pair of assists.
The visiting Golden Griffs took control of the game early, going up 20-8 with 9:53 left in the first half. In the process, Canisius drained three three-point field goals.
From there, the Bearcats clawed to within 29-24 on a layup by sophomore forward Sherae Swinson with 1:35 left in the first half. At the other end, however, Jen Morabito swished a three pointer with 10 seconds to go, giving Canisius a 32-24 lead at the break.
A 9-0 blitz in a span of 3:49 increased the Golden Griffs' lead to 41-26 with 13:47 left in regulation. Ruttle had four of her points during that span.
Senior guard Mallory Lawes stopped the bleeding with a three pointer but Canisius answered with a 10-1 run within 4:09 to go up 51-30 with 9:38 left in the second half.
Binghamton then scored 10 straight points, trimming the deficit to 51-40 with 6:07 remaining. Paulk sank four of her free throws during that stretch.
Paulk brought Binghamton to within single digits, sinking the second of two free throws to make the score 57-48 with 1:30 left to go. Canisius, however, iced the game by going a perfect 4-for-4 at the free throw line the rest of the game.
Swinson and junior guard Jasbriell Swain each scored eight points.
Canisius finished the game 9-for-16 from beyond the three-point arc (56.3 percent).
Binghamton heads to the Arizona State Tournament this coming weekend. The Bearcats will face the host Sun Devils at 3 p.m. EST on Saturday in the first round and either UNLV or Dayton on Sunday at 2 p.m. EST.

Wow, just noticed the thought of my daughter came now and not earlier. I adore her. Time together is fun because we have so much in common.
Well off to a meeting. Add what you like to do so others can get inspired.
Lists keep growing and get deleted when you allow yourself to be open and not always listen to the voice in your head that has repeatedly steered you wrong, meaning, hasn't allowed you to be and do. Do you know that voice in your head very well?
Take good care,
