Three people, a horse, a dog and a lamb rescued by Cornwall fire crews
Posted: April 07, 2013|
THREE people and a dog were later rescued from a 2m wide muddy steam at Polmear Hill in Par.
Crews from Fowey and the water rescue team from St Austell used ladders and lines to rescue the people who were then attended to by the ambulance.
FOUR fire and rescue crews were called to save a horse that was trapped in a river between St Austell and Fowey this afternoon.
One fire appliance from Fowey, one fire appliance from St Austell, a specialist water rescue team from St Austell and a specialist line rescue team from Bodmin attended the incident at Tywardreath Marsh in Tywardreath just before 5pm.
Firefighters wearing drysuits took almost an hour to release the horse from the river. The animal was then led to safety and left in care of the owner and a vet.
At the same time, firefighters from Delabole Community Fire Station helped release a lamb that was trapped between a fence and a mud bank on the B3314 road to Port Isaac.

Southfield, Mich. – Lawrence Technological University will host a March 7 conference, "Engineering: Re-Tooling to Meet the Challenges of a Changing World," for high school counselors, teachers, superintendents and parents – the people who can help high school students decide on the careers they want to pursue. There also will be information for adults who want to pursue a new career.
The free program will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, March 7, on the atrium level of the Buell Building at Lawrence Tech, 21000 West Ten Mile in Southfield. Breakfast and lunch are included.
The conference will address three topics, "Engineering as a Career," "Innovation in Engineering Education" and "Leadership in Engineering," informing participants how the field of engineering has changed, what new opportunities and jobs exist, and how to prepare our students for competition in the global economy.
The discussion will be led by educators and practicing engineers, including Devdas Shetty, dean of the College of Engineering at Lawrence Tech.
According to Shetty, many jobs continue to be created in traditional engineering fields – aeronautical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, energy, engineering technology, industrial operations and mechanical engineering. Contrary to what some might expect, there are also new engineering jobs in the automotive industry. An engineering degree can open doors to a surprisingly wide variety of careers, including health care, agriculture, law and medicine.
"Engineers are known for using creative approaches to solve problems and for their entrepreneurial spirit," Shetty said. "More engineers are needed to help rebuild Michigan's economy and contribute to the global economy."
The conference will also discuss what classes future engineers should be taking in high school.
Reservations are requested by March 3. Call (248) 204-3160 or register online at www.ltu.edu/specialevents.
Lawrence Technological University, www.ltu.edu, offers more than 60 Undergraduate, Master's and Doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Management. Founded in 1932, the 5,000-student, private university pioneered evening classes 75 years ago, and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs.

About HydroPeptide
Many chemists, doctors, estheticians and even nutritionists lent their hand in the creation of HydroPeptide® Skin Care. The story begins with the peptide revolution. Peptides have been used in medicine for ages, but only recently begun scientifically improving anti-aging skin care. When whole, peptides make up proteins which are the basic building blocks to life.
Dr. Louise Peck, PhD and renowned expert in nutritional science, was well versed with the effects of the "protein diet". However, when she learned of peptides, protein fragments being used to improve skin health and beauty, she was intrigued. Dr. Peck put peptides to the test and was thrilled with her findings. Just as she knew a healthy diet must be balanced, she realized highly effective skin care must be balanced with more than just high-performance peptides.
Dr. Peck partnered with skin science experts and spent years researching effective ingredient combinations that could be deemed worthy of the "anti-wrinkle" term.

Today was the final business visit for Stetson University Executive MBA Cohort 9's international trip to Istanbul and Budapest.
The last presentation was held at Budapest Bank, headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, since 1987. Laszlo Sziraki, leader of consumer business support, and his team from marketing, human resources and strategic business led the panel discussion.
"The Stetson Executive MBA team of Crystal Koepke, Toshimasa Matsumura, Michelle Naguiat, Nelson Silva and Duane Trumble were anticipating an engaging discussion," said Wendy Lowe, Executive MBA program coordinator, "and Budapest Bank delivered!"
Budapest Bank provides a full range of banking services to small and medium-size enterprises. General Electric Co. holds a 100% stake in Budapest Bank, which provides a solid financial background and extensive training, which has added to the bank's success.
Budapest Bank's mission statement is: "We are not just bankers; we are builders." The panel explained that Budapest Bank builds relationships with current and new customers and wants to grow these relationships by adding additional products and services over time.
Budapest Bank is the eighth-biggest commercial bank, with 3,000 employees and 101 branches. It was one of the first commercial banks in the market. It's therefore considered a "stable" bank, which means it has business growth, transactional banking and innovation. The speakers listed the following among the bank's competitive advantages: Leaders project and plan for the future in a methodical way, monitor and manage risk, are responsive to lending, work with "lean" processes, are customer-centric, have strong human resources to train employees and meet their needs, and have strategic partners.
Budapest Bank is using social media marketing on Facebook, You Tube and Twitter to build brand awareness. Other banks in the area are not there yet. Cohort 9 student Gwen Schaefer learned that, for Budapest Bank, the use of social media means that it is "building a society around us," said the panel. The company's public relations manager told Schaefer's classmate, Christina Boncela, that the bank's approach to marketing is no nonsense; it communicates clearly and effectively, and advises those who have questions by being very approachable and accessible.
The panel leaders said they believe Budapest Bank is successful in part because its managers understand the "drivers," they plan actively and "deep," and they consistently measure their progress and respond accordingly.
Matsumura asked if the cultural differences between GE and Hungary have created any issues with company culture. The leaders responded that they feel GE has actually bolstered Budapest Bank's training and added more depth. Responding to compliance issues is even easier.
Koepke asked how Budapest Bank manages its portfolio, and if it's planning to make changes. The panel said the bank operates in a performance-driven environment so percentages likely won't decline.
Naguiat said she appreciated the response to her training and human resource question and was delighted to hear that several training formats (in person and online) are available on a consistent basis. "Actually, such training was occurring when we departed our visit today," said Lowe.
Trumble asked if Hungary's savings habits were short-term or long-term. Sziraki said that, unfortunately, locals' savings habits are very short-term. He added that this could improve by a long-term tax-supported savings plan.
Silva pointed out that he noticed some drops in certain areas of the bank financials. He asked what the bank's reaction to such events was. Sziraki said the financial crisis brought about a time when the bank's employees had to change focus and behaviors and, in some cases, become debt claim managers to get it done.
Silva's classmate, David LaRocque, learned that Budapest Bank can actually be quite flexible. After the financial crisis, it shifted its focus from lending to transactional banking. Now it can rebalance its time and efforts to support the current economy.
"The Stetson Executive MBA cohort enjoyed the panel discussion at the end and the time and enthusiasm of the different business leaders at Budapest Bank," said Lowe. "Their hospitality was tremendous, and this visit was a perfect way to end our week-long travels in Istanbul and Budapest. We've witnessed first-hand the diverse lifestyles, business trends and strategies that now we can apply to our own company roles when we return to the United States."

Long Beach, CA
My name is Ciro Eduardo Aguilar. I am a Chicano who was born in east Los Angeles and grew up in Compton, CA. I always found myself as a child drawing and coloring cartoons I would see on television. My family was too poor to afford certain toys, and therefore I found myself creating ninja turtle actions figures that I would draw and color with crayons myself. I always had a love for art which nourished in different avenues. I have always loved to express myself through music, drawing, poetry/lyrics, photography, and other methods. I started painting in 2007 as a method to express my emotions. In a way, it has been a form of therapy for me. I find many of my paintings come from love, loss, and the emotions they create. I draw my inspiration from usually two avenues. Since I am a musician, I love the words that are expressed through music, and I find them inspiring and very meaningful. Its very easy for me to also gather inspiration from my own life and the feelings and emotions I'm going through. I feel my work is very honest and wears its heart on its sleeve. I also find at times that sometimes what I paint is more honest than I usually am. I have continued to grow and explored different art mediums and mixed them together. - Ciro Eduardo Aguilar

" City: Hannover / Country: Germany / World Region: Europe "
* Prices may differ from that shown
On a trip to the north of German I made a stopover in Hannover. I arrived mid-morning, left my luggage in a locker and went out onto the Ernst-August-Platz (Platz = square) in front of the Central Station with the enormous statue of King Ernst August (1771-1851, the fifth son and eighth child of George III and also Queen Victoria's uncle) on horseback. The spot under the horse's tail is a famous meeting point for the Hannoveraners. A glance back at the station is worthwhile. It's a pompous and imposing building in the Neo-Renaissance style. When it was rebuilt after the bomb raids in 1943, it was done in this style so that it now looks older than it really is. It's a busy station with lots of shops, there can't be much you can't get there. It's a befitting entry to the capital of the Land Lower Saxony and a city of more than half a million inhabitants.
Crossing the Ernst-August-Platz slightly to the left one comes to the Tourist Information Office where friendly women hand out brochures. Hannover has a Red Thread (4.200 m long) running through the city connecting the most important sights, a good thing I haven't seen in any other German city. The city map with the Red Thread is free, a brochure with detailed information on the sights costs 3 Euro.
About 100 m away from the Tourist Information Office is the Kröpcke, the central square of Hannover, its heart so-to-speak. I was puzzled when I got there. I think I stood there open-mouthed and gaping, because a man approached me asking if he could help. I told him that I couldn't believe that this ugly place was dear to the Hannoveraners. A dangerous remark, he could have been a fierce local patriot, but I couldn't help myself. He agreed with my judgement, however, and even apologised! As in so many German cities and towns post-war architecture is of indescribable ugliness. The buildings are more or less only concrete boxes. He pointed out the Opera which stands in the vicinity. It was completely destroyed inside but the facade remained and was restored in the original style. This looked much better. I have nothing against modern architecture, on the contrary, but the post-war style seems to be no style at all.
The Red Thread led me along the Georgstraße, a boulevard with nice and expensive shops on one side, to the Aegidienkirche (Kirche = church). It was bombed at the end of the war and has been kept as a ruin ever since, without roof and windows. It serves as a monument now. I like the idea. The next sight was the New Town Hall, a grandiose and majestic building with an enormous dome. As the ground is swampy, it was erected upon 6026 beech-tree piles. It was opened in 1913, is the seat of the mayor and houses scale models of Hannover through the ages. At the back of the building is the restaurant Gartensaal (Garden Hall) overlooking an idyllic pond surrounded by a park in the English style.
An elderly man watched me taking pictures and accosted me with the hint from where the view was best. I don't like such pieces of advice but we started talking. I told him that I intended to walk to the Maschsee (See = lake) [thus leaving the Red Thread] of which I already knew that it was an artificial one created in the flood meadows surrounding the river Leine. "Adolf built it," he said. I didn't know that. Of course, Adolf didn't built it but had it built. I asked him why and what for. He told me that it was one of the work-creation programmes of the Third Reich. Before we parted, I asked him if it was far from the Maschsee to the old quarter of the city which I also wanted to see. He denied this and pointed in the general direction I'd have to take. Then he said, "Haarmann lived there, too. Do you know about him?" He was clearly disappointed when I nodded, he would have liked to tell me the story.
Fritz Haarmann was a serial killer who was executed in 1924 for sodomising and killing 24 young men by biting their throats. Strangely, he's entered folklore. Three film were made featuring the man and his crimes, books and articles were written. "In 2007, the Hannover Tourism Board caused controversy by including Haarmann in its cartoon-style advertising calendar, along with other well-known people from the city. The calendar became a best-seller, and the initial print run of 20,000 calendars was expected to run out in November 2007, rather than lasting through Christmas as planned." (Wikipedia). And then there is the song sung to the tune of a well-known operetta. "(rough translation) Wait, wait a while, soon Haarmann will come to you, too. With his small chopper to make mincemeat of you. From the eyes he makes aspic, from the bottom he makes lard, from the intestines sausages and the rest he throws away." In 1961 a Dixiland version of the song was the No 1 hit in the charts for several weeks. Sick humour is a British thing? Think again!
The Maschsee is about 0.3 sq miles large and an ideal place for all kinds of water sports. And this within walking distance of the city! If I lived in Hannover, I could often be found there, I'm sure. No water sports for me in the short time I had on that day, though, but a visit to the Sprengel Museum which is alongside the Maschsee. I had already heard good things about it and found wonderful artefacts of the 20th century there. Many great names all aficionados know. The museum has a good restaurant (not cheap) with a terrace overlooking the lake. Unfortunately there's a busy street between the museum and the lake, but I enjoyed sitting and eating there nevertheless.
Surprisingly, the day was blazing hot, a rarity for the north of Germany. So I treated myself to taxi ride to the Old Town Hall behind which the so-called old quarter of the city can be found. Also largely destroyed during the war it was rebuilt in what is called North German Brick Gothic. It's quite picturesque and serves as an attractive background for photos of couples coming out of the registrar's office which is located inside. Some steps further on is the Marktplatz (Market Square) with the Marktkirche. One look inside and it's clear that it is a Protestant church with its severe strictness or strict severity. Both expressions fit.
The old quarter is a sad affair in my opinion. It's tiny, one could say it's condensed in the Kramerstraße with its pubs, restaurants and boutiques. After the bombing raids there was almost nothing left and what we see now is very touristy.
Another friendly man (I only met friendly, talkative people who were keen on enlightening me on their city) told me that I had come too early. The following day (30th June) the Schützenfest would begin, the biggest of the world. The dictionary gives these translations: 'fair featuring shooting matches' or 'marksmen's funfair' which means nothing to the uninitiated. Read what Wikipedia has to say: "The highlight of this funfair is the 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long Parade of the Marksmen with more than 10.000 participants from Germany and all over the world, among them around 5.000 marksmen, more than 100 bands (playing oompah music) and more than 60 wagons, carriages and big festival vehicles. More than 1,5 million people visit this funfair every year. The landmark of the funfair is the 60-metre (200 ft) tall Steiger Ferris wheel which can carry 420 people in its 42 passenger cabins." No need to go to the Oktoberfest in Munich any more now that you know this!
My last destination were the three Nanas by the late French artist Niki de Saint Phalle standing beside the river Leine (which is more a brook than a river). These are gigantic female figures with distorted bodies painted in loud colours and child-like patterns. They seem frozen in some kind of dance only they know the music of. They make every onlooker smile. I was disappointed to see them standing forlornly between the river and a busy street. I had just been to an exhibition of artefacts by Niki de Saint Phalle and know how positive their impact can be if they're presented in the right surroundings. First they were a shock for conservative Hannoveraners, now they're one of the landmarks.
Time was up and I returned to the Central Station to continue my journey. I was content with the day, I hadn't imagined to see so much and so many things I liked. There was no time for Herrenhausen, the baroque castle and garden. Maybe next time.
Although I am enthusiastic recycler and cyclist, I will be the first to admit that I contribute to more than my fare share of airplane emissions. I know I should unsubscribe to all the airline mailing lists that land in my inbox but I just can't find the willpower to do that. Every time a new one arrives I have to click through to find out what bargains I might be missing and this is how we found ourselves booking flights to the city of Hannover with the German airline TUI fly.
Digging out the Lonely Planet guide to Germany I wasn't much enlightened - lots of concrete, some fine museums, beautiful and historic gardens. Hannover was heavily bombed during World War Two and, although the centre is dominated by a post-war concrete shopping centre, a section of the Old Town as well as some of the most interesting and attractive public buildings were rebuilt as closely to the original designs as possible. I asked two German friends their opinions of Hannover and neither was very positive; I was determined to prove them wrong.
Our hotel was on the Klagesmarkt, a short walk from the heart of the city via the red light area (we never saw any prostitutes on the street but there are a good handful of strip joints and sex shops) and the Old Town. As it was early on Saturday morning we skipped the red light area and proceeded directly to the Old Town. The reconstruction of these narrows streets is impressive and although they are new the painted houses have a lot of character. They are mainly four storeyed houses and painted so many different colours they really reminded me of the houses depicted in fairytale illustrations. These streets are full of little boutiques, cafes and restaurants. It's a pedestrianised area so it's a pleasant place to stroll.
We moved further into the town and came across the post-war shopping area. It is, like so many cities destroyed in the war, a concrete monster but it did strike me that the streets were wide and there were plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by. The main stretch 'Bahnhofstrasse' is a pedestrianised street on two levels ; the lower level is called the 'Passarelle' and has some interesting cheaper shops. It runs from Hauptbahnhof - the main train station - which is an on Ernst-August Platz to Kroepke which is the city's main square. There is a large branch of Moevenpick with lots of outdoor seating where Hannoverians like to stop for coffee (or beer) and huge slabs of strawberry cake. Georgstrasse runs across Kroepke; in one direction, leading to the opera house, you'll find the most exclusive (and of course expensive) stores in Hannover and in the other direction you'll find lost of department stores. The posh side is a favourite place for Hannoverians to walk on a Sunday afternoon and this is known as the 'Schorsenbummel' (my favourite German verb 'bummeln' means to stroll). We did this the next day before taking at seat in the sun at Moevenpick feeling very Hannoverian indeed.
We found the tourist information office opposite the station on Ernst-August Platz and booked tickets for the city tour that afternoon. With a couple of hours to spare we made our way back through the Old Town and towards the river where a huge flea market was in full swing. There was a good mixture of stalls, some selling kitsch 1970s glassware and ceramics, others selling coins, postcards and medals. There was furniture old and new, gorgeous chandeliers and vintage clothing. The flea market crosses over the bridge and lines both banks of the river but on the southern side you'll find one of Hannover's more contentious sights - the 'Nanas'. The 'Nanas' are a series of brightly coloured sculptures of stylised voluptuous ladies that can be found in several places in the city but I think the ones here by the river are the best presented. They were created by French-born artist Niki de-Saint Phalle and the first one appeared in 1965. At first they were the target of much derision but like many famous pieces of public art they are now regarded fondly by the citizens of Hannover and the artist became the first (and only I believe) person to become an honorary citizen of Hannover. Every gift shop in Hannover has miniature Nanas for sale and many shops simply feature them as a permanent fixture in their window displays. I am set on the idea of going back to Hannover to spot all of them!
Back at Ernst-August Platz we joined the bus for the city tour. The guide spoke both German and English but I am sorry to say that the Germans spoke loudly whenever the guide was giving the English commentary and from our seats near the rear of the bus we found it difficult to hear. Fortunately I was able to translate most of the German commentary otherwise we would have missed a great many interesting points.
Although Hannover proudly boasts a 'red line' walking tour where visitors follow a red line painted on the pavement (for which a guidebook can be purchased from the tourist office) we decided to take the bus tour because the weather was poor and because the price included entry to the Herrenhauser gardens. The tour lasted over two hours and took in all the major places of interest throughout the city with three points (including the gardens) when we got off the bus. This included the New Town Hall (built in 1913) where we were shown some models of how the city changed over the centuries, and the Old Town where we were able to learn more about some of the buildings we had seen that morning.
There were several parts of the tour that particularly interested me. The first was a busy road that was actually once a canal and the impressive buildings that line it were the offices of shipping agents. Another was the Sculpture Mile which runs from the regional parliament building to the Herrenhauser Gardens which is punctuated with all kinds of striking sculptures. In fact Hannover is a city that is teeming with outdoor art; there was even a competition to come up with one off designs for individual bus stops!
At Herrenhauser we left the bus and were given the choice to look around independently or to follow the guide (which most people chose to do). There are several very impressive gardens but we visited the Baroque Garden which was designed by Sophia, Princess Palatine of the Rhine, who was Electress of Hannover from 1692 to 1714. There are formal flower beds, a delightful outdoor theatre where the cast change costumes behind privet hedges and an exquisite orangerie garden with criss-crossing gravel paths which is a popular spot for wedding photographs. The entire site is vast and I would certainly make a point of coming back to see more on a future visit. The bus tour stop was interesting but gave only a glimpse of what there is to see.
On our second day we visited the Adventure Zoo (which I have reviewed already on this site) and then the Maschsee which is an artificial lake created in the 1930s from flood meadows. Of course, it's highly popular with water sports enthusiasts but it also attracts walkers and cyclists as it has about 6 Kilometres of paths around it. It has an outdoor swimming area and should I visit again in summer I will be sure to pack my swimming gear. The less energetic can enjoy the water from the comfort of a boat - either cruising or rowing.
We spent Saturday evening away from the city centre, deciding to explore a more residential area in the other direction. This proved to be a good move because we discovered a part of town that has lots of cosy bars, some of them quite quirky and individual. It seemed to be a part of town with lots of immigrants and young people so it was a fun place to watch some European Championship football along with some Swedish guys, some Greeks and lots of Turks (and plenty of Germans of course). We had wanted to find somewhere to eat traditional German food but the place we had headed for had closed at six (if only we had read the leaflet properly) and so we ate at an Indian restaurant close to our hotel. The following day we ate a late lunch at a small restaurant in the Old Town where the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I was excited to find that the white asparagus so popular in Europe was still being served (I had eaten some in Austria in May and was dying to eat more) and nearly every traditional restaurant was promoting a special asparagus season menu. Overall Hannover has a huge choice of restaurants and you'll find all cuisines represented. Germany is of course 'beer country' and Hannover is no different to the rest of the country. There are several microbreweries to try but most places serve Herrenhäuser Pilsener and to blend in you should ask for a 'Herry'.
You will probably have guessed by now that I am keen to go back to Hannover. I felt that there is still so much to see but it also appears to be a good base to explore the rest of Lower Saxony and there are some historic towns in the region I would like to visit. I found Hannover a visually attractive city against my preconceptions; the public art really does make it an exciting and vibrant place. It makes me cross to hear people grumble about money being spent on such projects and Hannover should be held up as an example of the difference art can make. For a rebuilt city there is so much to do outdoors but we didn't even visit any of the museums and there are several that appeal to me. Finally I found that Hannover wasn't as expensive as I had anticipated and that there were lots of ways to save money. An all day travel card is particularly good value.
For a weekend getaway or as a base for a longer trip I fully recommend Hannover. This is merely the first instalment!
We flew to Hannover from Newcastle Airport with TUI Fly. This airline also flies to Hannover from Manchester. BMI fly from Heathrow to Hannover while Lufthansa operate between Hannover and a number of British cities.
I lived in Hannover for my year abroad during my German couse at university, and found it a great place to live. Since my time there (96-97) the city has been spruced up a great deal as the EXPO has come to town - the Hauptbahnhof has been totally renovated and now boasts modern shops and facilities, and the tram and underground network has been extended to cover most outlying districts. Most importantly, there is now a direct connection to the airport, where there only ever used to be a slow bus link. Essentially, Hannover still offers a surprising amount for the casual traveller to enjoy. There is a large shopping centre, stretching from the Hauptbahnhof, round Kröpcke square and the imposing Opera House, down to the remnants of the old town (Hannover was severely affected in the Allied air raids during WW2 but part of the Altstadt was painstakingly rebuilt), and the old town in particular offers many a bar and restaurant where you can enjoy good food and drink (try Uwe's Hannen Faß or Schateke for good beer and reasonably-priced food). The town hall buildings and the Maschsee, a vast artificial lake that freezes solid in winter are well worth a visit, as are the Herrenhäuser Gardens to the north of the city centre (also easily reached on the tram). The old royal palace there was destroyed in the bombing but the ceremonial gardens and fountains remain and are in good condition, ideal to wander round for a relaxing day in the sun. You can happily spend a day wandering round the shops and the old town in Hannover, and then there are plenty of options when it comes to nightlife - try Finnegans Wake (the obligatory Irish pub, in fact there are 4 of them in Hannover!), Henry J Beans bar/diner, and the Osho (Baggy) nightclub by the station. All in all this is a bustling city with much to offer.
Hanover (German: Hannover), on the river Leine, is the capital of the federal state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany. With a population of 548,617 (1 January 2007) the city is a major center of northern Germany, known for hosting annual commercial expositions such as the Hanover Fair and the CeBIT. In 2000, Hanover hosted the world fair Expo 2000. The Hanover fairground, due to numerous extensions especially for the Expo 2000, is the largest in the world. Hanover also has regional importance because of its university and medical school, its international airport and its large zoo (Hanover Zoo).

Prevention of Post-Extubation Laryngeal Edema With Intravenous Corticosteroids

- How to Read a Study Record
Tracheal intubation is a frequent procedure in intensive care units (ICU). Post-extubation laryngeal edema is a frequent complication with potential morbidity and mortality, and may lead to urgent tracheal re-intubation. Corticosteroids have been proposed to reduce the incidence of post-extubation laryngeal edema. A few clinical studies have been conducted in adult ICU patients and have led to discrepant results. These discrepancies may be related to the time lag separating the administration of the corticosteroids and the planned extubation. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that pretreatment with corticosteroids initiated 12 hours before a planned extubation may efficiently prevent the occurrence of postextubation laryngeal edema in critically-ill adults who have been mechanically ventilated for more than 36 hours in the ICU.
Post-Extubation Laryngeal Edema
Drug: Methylprednisolone
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Prevention of Post-Extubation Laryngeal Edema With Intravenous Corticosteroids: a Prospective, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
- Onset of a laryngeal edema within 24 hours after a planned tracheal extubation
- - Severity of laryngeal edema (minor or major)
- - Time to onset of edema (in minutes) after tracheal extubation
- - Need for a tracheal re-intubation
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 2000
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2002
We conducted a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of 12-hour-pretreatment by methylprednisolone before a planned extubation in adult patients ventilated for more than 36 hours in the ICU. Methylprednisolone (20 mg) or placebo was first administered intravenously 12 hours before extubation and continued every 4 hours until tube removal. Primary endpoint was the occurrence of laryngeal edema within 24 hours of extubation. Laryngeal edema was clinically diagnosed and considered as major when requiring tracheal reintubation.

Budget cuts hit Eugene's parks on July 1
EUGENE, Ore. -- Maintenance at Eugene's city parks will see further cuts this week, according to information from a Facebook post by Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy.
To help cover the growing budget gap facing the Parks and Open Space department, the city will implement a few cuts on July 1 to improve the budget.
In the post, Piercy said the city received a notice that the maintenance budget would receive cuts because of the $300,000 reduction in general funds for Parks and Open Space.
Along with cutting two Parks and Open Spaces positions, there will be fewer trash pickups, parks will be mowed and watered less frequently, and the Sladden, Hendricks and Sheldon restrooms will close.
Regulars at Eugene's parks like Jessica Greene said aren't too happy about the changes.
"With such a lovely park there will be less maintenance, and the bathrooms will be closed. It will be much less useful for kids and families and it's just sad," said Greene.
The changes affect all neighborhood parks, Mayor Piercy added.
"It's clear that the city doesn't want to have to cut this, but the budget just doesn't want to allow it. But it seems like a really sad place to have to cut," said Greene.
Piercy said the city tries to avoid cuts at all costs, but the budgeting process requires they make reductions.

EAGLE NEST CREEK. Eagle Nest Creek, also known as Eagle Nest Canyon, rises a mile east of Farm Road 2083 in southern Val Verde County (at 29°53' N, 101°33' W) and runs south for five miles to its mouth on the Rio Grande, a half mile east of Langtry (at 29°49' N, 101°33' W). Eagle Nest Creek sharply dissects massive limestone that underlies flat terrain, forming a deep and winding canyon. The last mile of the streambed passes through the high vertical cliffs of One Mile Canyon. The area soils are generally dark, calcareous stony clays and clay loams and support oaks, junipers, grasses, and mesquites. Eagle Nest Creek was named for a landmark noted by travelers and settlers for over two centuries. It is an inaccessible, but highly visible, limestone cavern located near the top of a 300-foot vertical bluff on the course of the creek and just east of Langtry. At one time eagles nested on the ledge outside the cavern. On April 25, 1875, Lt. John L. Bullis and his Black Seminole scouts fought border Indians at Eagle's Nest Crossing, near the landmark. Three of the scouts won Medals of Honor for saving Bullis's life in the Eagle's Nest battle. In 1882 the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway established a grading camp near the crossing and named it Eagle's Nest.

by Melissa, Coastal Studies for Girls
As I am living at Coastal Studies for Girls I get a chance to be more involved in the environment. I get the opportunity to enjoy, explore, and study so many different parts of nature. Every day that I walk during Solo, our daily ritual, I see nature at it's most beautiful. The thought of home, in the city, makes me imagine how the beauty I am seeing could be damaged because of cities and because of human impact in general.
Over the last thirty years, the population of the Adelie penguins in Antarctica has decreased from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000. This is the result of human actions in our planet. The changes in our planet became more apparent after the Industrial Revolution. This was when many of our advanced technologies were created. A really important creation that occurred during the industrial age was the invention of cars. This changed our whole way of life. We have come to depend on the very things that are ruining our planet.
The invention of cars was very helpful in society for transportation but not for our environment. The constant use of cars, especially today, means an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide that we are putting into our atmosphere; this is not good for our planet. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which traps heat from the sun. Although carbon dioxide is needed in our planet for warmth (it keeps us from freezing), too much of it is extremely harmful for our environment. The increase in greenhouse gases means our planet is getting too hot.
We depend on so many new technologies that everyday we are consuming so much energy and releasing so many greenhouse gases. Over time, as the population of humans increases, so do our greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The increase in temperature that we are causing through our profuse consumption is impacting the ocean. Ice is melting and the sea level is rising. This is the cause of the decrease in the population of the penguins, whose habitat is being destroyed. Many other species will also be at risk of extinction if we keep consuming and emitting so much.
Not only does the rise in sea level impact animals, it also impacts humans; the rise of the sea level means the destruction and flooding of our coastal cities.
The melting of ice is a huge issue. Ice is one of the most light-reflective surfaces in our planet but the ocean is not. The ocean is dark and if we melt most of the ice in the ocean, what will be left is black water. Black water absorbs more light, which means that our planet will heat up even more. Global warming impacts many different species. Changes to our planet changes animals' habitats and the way they live. Some species may be able to adjust, but many can't or won't.
Being at Coastal Studies for Girls and having the opportunity to gain a new appreciation for nature has made me realize the damage that we humans do to the environment with our mass consumption of energy. I have also realized that I want to be involved in the protection of our environment. I am going to reduce consumption and encourage others to do the same. Hopefully I will be able to contribute to the conservation of the beauty of the earth -- the variety of habitats and the different species living in them.
Coastal Studies for Girls is the country's only residential science and leadership semester school for 10th grade girls. CSG is dedicated to girls who have a love for learning and discovery, an adventurous spirit, and a desire to challenge themselves.

International Club is a non-profit corporation in Washington, D.C., which is created to enhance existing learning and fun events, as well as to develop new ones.
We focuse on the enhancement of the international experience.
Our objective is to assist our members to exchange, practice and enrich themselves in this experience – socializing, volunteering, employment, education, training, and/or something else. Although multicultural topics and national events are a must, we do not want to limit ourselves with them.
International Club develops or partners in development of the following activities,
Hands-On Training & Career Opportunities for Everyone (HOTCOE), originally created for immigrants entering the American workforce with two programs,
The HOTCOE Career Launch core program for people launching new careers (professional certification, work experience, vocational education and training). Here is a current commercial: http://youtu.be/bIyf7KZkmHU
Jedi2b.com HOTCOE Masters modification of the HOTCOE Career Launch program (above), created for middle- and high-school students
The International Learning & Fun in Greater Washington program for people learning and having fun through international experience.
The related training is provided on the basis of HOTCOE Career Launch program (see above). Besides core people skills, the training includes,
Leadership hands-on training. The participants will organize events at International Learning & Fun to improve their research and information literacy competencies
Writing hands-on training. The participants will create stories at International Fun for the City to improve their written communication competencies
Multilingual hands-on training. The participants will participate in multilingual activities to improve their foreign language awareness and competency. Currently, the Russian curriculum is being developed to be used as a model. Most likely, Russian speakers (both second language learners and native speakers) will utilize the Russian Klub meetup group, which is an open platform for Russian-speaking initiatives in the Greater Washington. The participants might also create stories in other languages such as Belarusian at Ruthenian Institute, Eastern European languages at Ruthenian Institute Community or Russian at Russian D
Promising topics include,
National holydays and celebrations
International Nights: The idea is to create events, dedicated to a few nations

For the foreseeable future, the accounting standard setter in the United States, also known as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), will continue to set generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for private companies. The trustees of the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF), the oversight body of the FASB, recently rejected the concept of establishing a separate accounting board that would prescribe GAAP for private companies, sometimes termed "baby GAAP." They concluded that the FASB should continue to set GAAP for all companies that report financial results in the United States.
Impetus for Developing Baby GAAP
Over the years, private companies have been periodically clamoring for a less-complicated GAAP that doesn't require multiple CPAs to figure out how to apply the FASB rules. This "clamoring," like the sea, comes and goes depending on the tide at the time.
Probably the latest impetus for establishing a less complicated GAAP or "baby GAAP" was the complexity the FASB created in its rules for derivative accounting (issued in form of FASB Statement 133) and uncertain tax positions (in FASB Interpretation 48), together with the uniqueness of the concept of accounting for variable interest entities or VIEs as originally described in FASB Interpretation 46. Each of these sets of FASB rules has been amended, revised or interpreted numerous times by the FASB or by such groups as the Derivatives Implementation Group or the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF). At times, it is hard to decipher what the FASB had in mind (or did not consider) when prescribing its rules.
Key Events Since 2009
In 2009, a "blue-ribbon" panel was created to "address how accounting standards can best meet the needs of users of U.S. private company financial statements." This panel included representatives of the FAF, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.
In 2011, the trustees of the FAF received the report of the blue-ribbon panel and decided that a working group should be formed to consider the report's findings. And one major conclusion of that report was that private companies should have their own standard-setting body, apart from the FASB but under the oversight of the FAF—effectively a two-tier GAAP scenario.
In October 2011, after receiving input from the working group, the FAF proposed a solution that stopped short of having a separate board to establish GAAP for privately held companies; rather, it proposed having a separate body to recommend changes that would eventually require FASB "ratification."
The FAF solicited feedback on its proposed solution and received 7,367 comment letters, of which 7,069 were "form letters generally following a template provided by the [AICPA]...."[1] After considering these letters, the FAF decided that a new group, termed the "Private Company Council" should be formed that would eventually replace the existing "Private Company Financial Reporting Committee" that currently provides feedback to the FASB on its rules affecting private companies.
The New Private Company Council
As elaborated in the report by the trustees of the FAF on May 30, 2012, the new Private Company Council will have two responsibilities. First, it will determine whether exceptions or modifications to existing GAAP are required to address the needs of users of private company financial statements. Second, the new Council will serve as the primary advisory body to the FASB as it considers new accounting rules on its agenda. The Council will have 9 to 12 members and, unlike in the original FAF proposal, the chair cannot be a FASB member.
For some, the result appears to be status quo—no separate accounting board, no baby GAAP, and the FASB can decide whether or not to "endorse" a decision of the new Council. This time, however, the FAF is giving the new Council dedicated support from the FASB staff and expects that each of the seven FASB members attend the deliberations of the Council. The FAF believes this will help ensure that FASB members consider the views and perspectives of private companies when voting whether to "endorse" an exception to GAAP that the Council believes should be granted to private companies.
A major proponent of having a separate board was the AICPA, which now supports the FAF's revised "endorsement" approach by the FASB for establishing GAAP for private companies. Similarly, the FAF supports an effort by the AICPA "to develop a financial reporting framework for smaller private entities, which would be used as form of OCBOA [other comprehensive basis of accounting] reporting where appropriate …."[2]
Questions Expected to Arise
Over time, the following questions will undoubtedly arise regarding the new concept approved by the FAF:
Separately, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is evaluating whether to permit or require public companies in the United States to follow accounting principles set by the IASB. The question will be whether this decision will affect how the FASB sets GAAP for private companies.

According to a Kansas Municipal Court that we contacted, Pleading Guilty means you admit to committing the act charged, that the act is unlawful, and you have no defense for the act. In most minor traffic cases, a guilty plea and fine will be accepted through the mail.
Pleading Not Guilty means you deny guilt and the City must prove in trial that the charges are true beyond a reasonable doubt. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Pleading No Contest means you do not wish to contest the charge. Upon a plea of no contest, the judge will enter a finding of guilty and order a fine, jail time or other sentence. A plea of no contest is not an admission of fault and cannot be used against you in a civil suit for damages.
So with no contest you are not admitting guilt but do not fight the ticket and thus still pay the fine amount required of you.
Either way with pleading no contest or guilty you will be convicted of the KS speeding ticket. If you do not want the conviction of the moving violation reported to your home state of Oklahoma you can call the court listed on the ticket to see if it is possible to reduce the charge to a non-moving violation that will not be reported to OK or dismiss the ticket through traffic school or other means.
Oklahoma and Kansas are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which means if you are convicted of the speeding offense that the KS courts will advise the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) of your speeding ticket. The Oklahoma DPS will then place this out of state moving violation on your OK driving record.
Oklahoma statutes title 47, section 6-117 paraphrased states that Department of Public Safety shall file all collision reports and abstracts of court records of convictions received in, even those from another state or a province of Canada may be posted upon the driving record of any resident of this state.
As for points, it does not appear that points are assessed for out of state moving violations since Title 47, Section 11-810 of OK Statutes notes in part that "Except when the person is the holder of a commercial driver license committing the offense while operating any vehicle or when the person committing the offense is operating a commercial motor vehicle, the Department of Public Safety shall not record or assess points against a person for out-of-state convictions of exceeding the speed limits of that state."
So unless you are able to keep the Kansas speeding ticket from being reported back to your home state of Oklahoma it will be placed on your OK driving record though not assigned points. Once it is on your driver's abstract your insurance company will be able to see it the next time they pull your motor vehicle record (MVR). Your insurer may not see points however it is the moving violation conviction itself, not DMV points, that insurance carriers use as a rating factor.
If this out of state speeding ticket causes your rates to rise, get discount auto insurance quotes here with us.

Is Assisted Living Safe for Your Parents? – Live Chat Transcript
July 30, 2013, 9:30 pm ET
Assisted living is big business. Last year, the industry's largest company made nearly $1.6 billion in revenue.
As America's senior population grows faster and lives longer than ever before, more families are turning to assisted living facilities to help loved ones age in comfort and safety.
But is this loosely regulated, multibillion-dollar industry putting profits above people?
In Life and Death in Assisted Living, FRONTLINE correspondent and ProPublica reporter A.C. Thompson goes behind behind the closed doors of America's assisted living facilities.
Whom should we trust with caring for our aging parents? Should these facilities — home to 750,000 American seniors — be subject to more oversight? What's next for the industry — and for the people at the center of the tragic cases in the film?
We've asked Thompson, as well as the film's producer Carl Byker, to join us in a live chat to answer those questions — and take yours. They'll be joined by Cheryl Morgan and Eric Boice, who are both featured in the film.
Eric's mother Joan died after being moved out of an Emeritus facility, where she sustained life-threatening wounds.
Cheryl's husband, George — who suffered from dementia — died after he was left unsupervised and drank industrial strength dishwashing fluid.
Next Avenue senior editor Richard Eisenberg will also be dropping by to ask questions and offer commentary.
You can leave a question in the chat window below, and come by at 2 p.m. ET on July 31 to join the live discussion.

Yes, we tell! Gay Rights from Clinton to Obama
April 17, 2012
Public Affairs Officer Jeffrey Hill joined a lecture on "Gay Rights Movement in the United States" by Prof. Dr. Michael Dreyer, University Jena, at the Saarbrücken chapter of the LSVD (Lesbian Gay Association Germany.) Co-organized by the German American Institute in Saarbrücken and the Landeszentrale for Politische Bildung, the event concentrated on gay rights legislation of the past three U.S. administrations and put it in international context. PAO Hill then briefed the audience about current efforts of the U.S. government to address LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) rights and highlighted Secretary Clinton's speech on the occasion of Human Rights Day in December 2011 that focused on LGBT issues. Before the program, the organizers played Ambassador Murphy's video message for their annual LSVD conference earlier this year. A lively discussion on the gay rights movement in the U.S. and Germany concluded the evening.

After rumors had long attached Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen to the role of the late Queen frontman, he distanced himself from the project after Queen members he might not give Mercury the respect he deserves. It's a bit odd that they think Cohen would just take a serious biopic and turn it into a Bruno-level game of grabass, but whatever. They're Queen, and they've earned the right to make rash decisions.
The guy that WILL play Mercury is Ben Whishaw, who I hadn't heard of, but does look something like Mercury. So that's something. Whishaw has rock film experience with the Dylan pseudo-biopic I'm Not There, and in the sci-fi Cloud Atlas.
The film will cover the band's rise through its 1985 Live Aid performance, which many considered it's last great stand, (aside from the Legendary Concert for Life).
Consider posting a comment.
