Loh: Huge questions in coronary care
In a July article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, an American College of Cardiology initiative called the National Cardiovascular Data Registry examined the appropriateness of coronary angioplasty and stenting.
It looked at more than 500,000 procedures done in 1,091 hospitals that contributed to the registry. The benchmark standards were evidence-based guidelines that an independent board of senior cardiovascular specialists agreed were appropriate.
In a prior column, I discussed a trial called COURAGE published in 2007 that suggested that in stable coronary patients, interventional procedures were no better than aggressive use of combination drug therapy when followed for five years. Patient selection likely played a role in that result.
Another study called the Occluded Artery Trial validated that late stenting of an artery that caused a heart attack did not reduce death or complications over that of aggressive and optimal drug therapy. However, the vast majority of cardiologists concur that in unstable patients, with active ischemia such as an evolving heart attack, acute coronary interventions like angioplasty and stent placement are the appropriate therapeutic approach.
In the registry report, 71 percent of the 500,000 coronary interventions were in heart attack or unstable chest pain patients, and the report concurred that 99 percent of those intervention procedures were absolutely justified. Of the other 29 percent of the reviewed cases, about 50 percent of those were felt to be appropriate, 38 percent were questionable, and about 12 percent were overtly inappropriate.
I suspect that many of the inappropriate cases were in patients with some blockages, but not severe enough to be a clinically significant problem for the patient but nonetheless had an angioplasty and/or stent procedure performed.
When viewed in the totality of the data, being right about 75 percent of the time, possibly right in another 19 percent, and just plain wrong in about 6 percent does not seem so bad. Except for a couple of things. Those 25 percent of the possibly inappropriate instances represent human beings exposed to procedures with known significant risks, and that possibly inappropriate medical care was extraordinarily expensive that we, as a society, still had to cover.
Cost of U.S. health care was approximately $2.5 trillion in 2009. Cardiovascular care represents a significant part of that total. Medical decisions should driven by guidelines derived from solid clinical trials data, but in equivocal cases, care decisions may be driven by profit motives.
In current American health care, interventional cardiologists are compensated for doing procedures and hospitals reward physicians for bringing large volumes of procedures. In some notorious cases of unscrupulous doctors, those volumes come with questionable or overtly inappropriate indications.
Moreover, the registry report revealed that there was considerable variation in appropriateness between hospitals in its database. And I know that patients are not checking their local hospital or their doctors to see where they fall on the appropriateness scale. And when a patient is having a heart attack is not the time to try and figure that out.
Some doctors will reflexively complain that their experience trumps some outside expert commission, and that this is just a step toward intrusion on their autonomy and "cookbook" medicine.
However, I question if "because I say so" and "I know best" are valid reasons to do a procedure. When I lecture on evidence-based medicine, I certainly acknowledge the added wisdom that comes with considerable clinical experience, but that still needs to be tempered by solid clinical science that shows statistically significant better outcomes, and not just "as good as."
The American College of Cardiology should be applauded for gathering and reporting these data. Other medical specialty societies need to embark on self-examination of expensive diagnostic and treatment methodologies to determine appropriate utilization and to avoid their use when the gain is nil and risks are anything but.
If the medical specialty societies with the integrity and expertise do not self-examine these issues, regulators and nonexpert commissions with an interest in predominantly controlling costs will do it for them.
To further clarify these issues, a regional research consortium comprised of the Ventura Heart Institute, Rolling Oaks Radiology and Westlake Medical Research are collaborating with select cardiologists both here and the San Fernando Valley to evaluate which diagnostics tests may be most useful to predict cardiovascular events.
These are national collaborative research programs being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health as well as medical diagnostic companies, and we are proud to be a significant contributing partner to these efforts to improve cost-effective patient care.

traffic lights!
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Read an article in todays paper about traffic lights and suggested changes, so I went to the horses mouth, here's the link - http://www.racfoundation.org/ Some of it is good, some quite scarey! I especially don't like the flashing amber bit!!
I've often wondered why we don't have the flashing amber system already, after peak hours it makes sense in theory and it does work in other countries.
Though I would much rather they put in those floor sensors at traffic light systems to eliminate the need for relying on peoples decisions if it was clear or not, so you still have the safety of a light system showing you have right of way.

In some ways it may work, sadly though, many drivers in the UK have very poor road awareness in general, and will use the flashing amber as an excuse to maintain their speed and race through a junction!!! The other worrying factor is the reducing the time to cross at pedestrian crossings - no thought seems to have been given to the more infirm members of our society. Having in the past helped elderly folk cross at lights and have drivers shouting abuse because you are not moving quickly enough can be quite daunting. It seems to be geared up to moving the traffic density around our urban areas faster rather than looking at viable public transport that would take uneeded vehicles from the road and thus reduce pollution!!

I think if they are reducing the green time for peds they need to get Stannah Stairlifts involved as sponsors perhaps to add their product to crossings to assist the infirm or elderly crossing at speed?
Either that or add a catapult on each side of the road maybe?

Possibly the flashing amber introduces an element of doubt in the motorist, who therefore slows down a bit and pays attention ?
I know near us there are some lights which seem to change very quickly from amber, which means drivers have a very short decision time. The panicky ones slam the brakes on and the idiot ones accelerate to avoid red. Quite often on the way to school, a car shoots across at the last second, just as we are about to put a foot on the road.

|The Game Story:
|CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Co-captain Dean Gibbons scored three goals and John Doyle fired away the game winning score late in the fourth quarter to give the Harvard men's lacrosse team a 9-7 win over Canisius Saturday afternoon at the Soldiers Field Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium.
The game was the first men's lacrosse event contested on the new turf field and the win was the first for The Frisbie Family Head Coach of Men's Lacrosse Chris Wojcik'96 who returned to his alma mater last summer for his first head coaching position.
Gibbons struck first for the Crimson on a pass from Peter Schwartz with a tally five minutes and 40 seconds into the game. Classmate and co-captain Kevin Vaughn added the only other score of the first quarter less than four minutes later.
After Matt Hull's goal from Alex White put the Crimson up 3-0, Canisius tied the score with three straight scores, including a man-up goal with 9:20 left in the second quarter.
The Crimson scored back-to-back goals and the Giffs answered with two of their own in both the third and fourth period. Canisius tied the score at seven with eight minutes to play. Less than two minutes later, Doyle found the back of the net and Gibson added the insurance goal one minute and 22 seconds after that.
Harvard outshot Canisius, 44-20, and won the battle in ground balls with a 29-26 edge. The Giffs converted on 10-of-19 face-offs and stopped 13 Harvard shots.
Terry White had two scores for the Crimson and Jeff Cohen recorded one tally. Harry Krieger made eight saves in the net. Gibbons had a team- and career-high five ground balls. Terry White and Ryan Alden each had two caused turnovers to pace the team.
The Crimson travels to Hofstra for its second contest of the year, March 5. Face-off is slated for 1 p.m.

Twelve-year-old Joshua Kanel may as well have written the motto. It's how he lives his life.
The Danville sixth-grader is combating environmental destruction one business at a time. And he's starting at home.
"I think I can change the world and I'm starting with my neighborhood," he said this week.
Last spring, Joshua was celebrating a Greenbrook Elementary speech contest victory at Danville's owner-operated Yogurt Shack. His speech was on simple ways to "go green" and he had earth on the mind when he noticed the yogurt was served in plastic foam cups.
He had just learned the planet can't reuse foam cups, that they sit in landfills and take up space. And he decided to do something about it.
"At first I was going to boycott it, and then I decided that wouldn't help," he said.
So he wrote a letter to the owner, asking him to try out recyclable yogurt cups.
Yogurt Shack owner Ron Coccimiglio got the letter and called him back right away.
"He's really good at getting people to listen," his mom Julie Kanel explained.
After a few weeks, Yogurt Shack began offering sugar cane-based recyclable cups in addition to the plastic foam. The sugar cane breaks down easily.
"We need more people utilizing recyclable products," Coccimiglio said.
He explained the foam is necessary insulation to keep the frozen yogurt from melting on warm days. But he agrees that people should have an environmentally-conscious option at his shop.
"We wanted to give customers a choice," he said.
The recyclable cups cost about twice as much as the plastic foam because there's not a high demand for them. As more people use them, the cost will go down and businesses will more likely purchase recyclable material.
First, people have to care. Then businesses will start going green, Coccimiglio explained.
"It's a small snowball rolling down the hill," he said, adding he hopes the trend gains momentum.
Plastic foam is not biodegradable and can take over 300 years to be broken down. The material is almost never recycled because it's an expensive process.
The technical term for the material is polystyrene thermal insulation, although most people call it Styrofoam, a trademark brand.
For now, Yogurt Shack absorbs the cost of the sugar-cane based cups, which calculates out to be about a penny price increase per cup.
"We eat the cost. We wanted to give people a chance to save the environment," Coccimiglio said.
Businesses can make small changes to help avoid climate disruption, loss of biodiversity, ozone disruption, toxic pollutants - and ultimately global warming.
Buying goods locally saves fuel from transporting products long distances - which is easier on the ozone.
Getting an energy audit eliminates some of the same problems. Audits offer businesses often-free consultations about how to reduce energy usage, help the earth and save money.
Better insulation, repairing worn out air conditioners or leaky faucets along with investing in timed light switches can save businesses money in the long run.
And many offices have already switched to electronic documents as opposed to using paper.
At Danville businesses, it's the little things, advocates say. Going green could mean using compost as opposed to trash, ordering produce from East Bay farmers, or orchestrating bike-to-work days.
Yogurt Shack owners have one location in Davis - an environmentally conscious college town - and had been researching biodegradable cups. Joshua just gave them an extra push.
"I was really surprised and proud of myself," said Joshua, who now attends Charlotte Wood Middle School.
Danville Weekly would like to hear about local businesses that are going green. Contact us at 837-8300 or e-mail email@example.com. Contact Natalie O'Neill at email@example.com

Gladstone Hospital is an integral part of a wider health network providing services to 65,000 people across the Gladstone community.
We are one of many service providers, including local general practitioners (GPs), Medicare Local, and the Mater Hospital, supporting our local community.
Caring for our patients is the top priority of our dedicated staff. We assess and treat each person as an individual and focus on providing the care that best meets their specific needs.
Health service delivery has changed dramatically over the years. In years gone by, doctors, particularly those in rural areas, were responsible for a wide range of care - everything from assisting in the birthing of babies to general surgery.
Today we are working within a new framework - where health services are provided across a region rather than in every town.
Our hospital operates as part of the broader Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service network, supported by Rockhampton Hospital and Brisbane hospitals when needed. This is called the 'hub and spoke' model and is the practice used throughout Australia. We recognise this is different to the past, however our health services are based on the size and needs of our community now and in the future.
These changes in health service delivery are due to:
In an emergency situation, fast and supervised transport to a higher-level hospital is always available. This is called the 'hub and spoke model' and is the practice used throughout Australia.
Increased standards of care
Improved Transport
Higher patient expectations
Improved technology
Increased specialisation amoung doctors and other medical staff
Since 2006 Gladstone Hospital has received a more than 80% funding increase from the Central Queensland Hospital and Health (CQHH) Board, reflecting the importance of our hospital to our community.

Gladstone's health care network includes GPs, CQ Medicare Local, the Gladstone Mater Hospital, non-government health providers, and other hospitals in Central Queensland and Brisbane.
We are working with other health service providers to improve health services in Gladstone by:
| CQ Medicare Local | Gladstone Mater Hospital |
The Central Queensland Hospital and Health Board was formed as a result of the Australian Government's National Health Reform in July 2012.
It provides services to an estimated 222,500 people across four key locations; Gladstone, Rockhampton, Central Highlands, and Banana. The Board is tasked with setting high-level strategic directions, ensuring accountable and efficient provision of services, monitoring performance, and providing direction to the health service.
The Board members come from Gladstone, Monto, Emerald, Rockhampton, and Yeppoon. They have diverse backgrounds - among them are doctors, nurses, accountants, academics, and farmers.
The Board is committed to ensuring Gladstone Hospital continues as a respected provider of quality health services in the wider health network. It is focused on delivering the most appropriate health care to our community, wherever they are living.
Our Motto - One Service, Many Providers.
Our Mission - Delivering quality, evidence-based, integrated health services focussed around the patient's journey that are effective, efficient and meet the needs of the community.
Our Vision - Delivering quality, integrated health services focussed on the patient.
Find out more about Our Board and our strategic direction please visit the CQHHS Board website.
Our management team consists of an Executive Director / Director Medical Services, Operations Manager, and a Director of Nursing, supported by senior staff from Allied Health, Community Health, Maternity and Child Health, and Mental Health.
We employ 361* people across 272.5 full-time equivalent positions including medical staff, nursing staff, operational staff, trade and artisan staff, health practitioners and professionals, and managerial and clerical staff.
Our staff are qualified and caring and have a proven record of high performance. For example, our Emergency Department is one of the best performing of its size in Queensland. In fact, in March 2013, 87% of patients were seen, treated and departed within four hours of arrival, compared to the national average of 76%.
Our staff and Gladstone Hospital are one and the same - our staff are Gladstone Hospital. We couldn't deliver our great health service without them.
Our values of care, collaboration, commitment, innovation and respect underpin all that we do. Our staff appreciate the support of our community.
They value the positive and the constructive feedback they receive from our patients and their families.

(hit "refresh" to get the most recent version of this page; click on photos for larger images)
|Earl Scheib
Beverly Hills, CA
|This Earl Scheib sign is installed in the parking lot in front of Cafe Talesai. Earl Scheib Paint & Body was founded in Los Angeles in 1936 and had locations nationwide. The company folded in 2010. There are still many former locations still using the name. There was a shop on this lot before this restaurant and the other stores were built. The sign is lit at night. These signs featured neon cars revolving around a globe. As far as I know, the only other Earl Scheib sign like this is at the American Sign Museum. For more, see this website. [map]
|La Fonda Restaurant
West Hollywood, CA
|diver sign
West Hollywood, CA
|diver sign
Glendale, CA
In 2010, the La Fonda Restaurant sign was located in the median of Santa Monica Boulevard. The sign is owned by the Museum of Neon Art. It was one of several vintage signs installed for the West Hollywood's "On Route - 66 Lights" display which celebrated the city's 25th anniversary. The signs were removed by 2013.
The La Fonda Restaurant was built in Glendale, CA in 1945. The sign was probably built then as well. It was donated to MONA in 1984. The sign was on display at Universal Studios' CityWalk from 1993-2000. For more, see this website.
These diver signs are replicas of the Virginia Court Motel sign which was located in Meridian, MS. The original sign was built in 1950 when the motel added a pool. When the motel was demolished in the 1990s, the sign was saved by a collector. He had the sign restored and loaned it to the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles. The sign was then sold to another sign collector in Los Angeles. While the sign was at MONA, a replica was made for West Hollywood's "On Route -- 66 Lights" display. That sign is owned by West Hollywood and is now in storage. In 2014, a second replica of the Meridian sign was built for MONA and installed on the roof of the museum's new location in Glendale. The museum will be opening in 2015. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [map]
|Museum of Neon Art signs
Pomona, CA

Fixxed now!
Hi folks;
I am trying to get a vncserver running on my box, so far I have:
I installed real-vncserver fine, but it asked for XAUTH, so I promptly installed that.
It now fails telling me:
"error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I tried installing the package from RPM finder:
Which seemed to work okay, but I am still getting the same errors.
On my system uname -a does:
Linux *** 184.108.40.206-070731a #1 SMP Tue Jul 31 10:46:54 CEST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Fixxed now!
I take that back!
Starting with a fresh fedora4 install, I double checked (find / -name *vnc*) for existing vnc but nothing, so I tried installing realvnc, and I managed to start it fine (vncserver /-start)... and yet I can't connect to it.
I downloaded the fedora vnc from RPMS and installed that, then started that as a service (service vncserver start)- again, all the right messages, but no joy.
The message I get when trying to connect with a client is: "unable to connect to host (connection refused 10061); " - not very helpful I know.
I tried to run snoop on my fedora box to see if anything was happening... and guess what : snoop: command not found. Well I wasn't expecting that (as I'm logged in as root).
I tried running netstat -a but didn't find anything helpful in there. (I'm sure I can get netstat to listen to a specific port, but can't find any advice on how).
I know it isn't going to be easy, but can anyone offer a noob some places to start trouble shooting?
I think the default port for VNC is 5900, try starting with that. It may have changed though...
63,000 bugs in the code, 63,000 bugs,
ya get 1 whacked with a service pack,
now there's 63,005 bugs in the code!!
Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise, and CentOS have VNC in repos for them.
In my case on FC7, its in the Fedora Core repository (included IIRC right in the install). So ... I would ensure that you install from yum/up2date to get a good package, and suck down all the needed (if any) dependencies. Then to get the stuff all going its simple:
Start your VNC daemon and as root run vncconfig
For the user, run vncpasswd
then run vncserver

10. Perry Jones, Quincy Miller & Deuce Bello, Baylor University
In his first year in Waco, Perry Jones averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game on 55 percent shooting for the Bears. And while he would have been a top-5 lock in this June's NBA Draft, his return gives Scott Drew and company a loaded and talented young core for this season. That's because along with the 6-11 center roaming the paint on both sides of the court, Baylor will also see major additions in their incoming freshman class with Quincy Miller and Deuce Bello. Look for the Bears to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in college basketball this season.
9. Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks
Jeff Teague went from looking like a bust to one of the best young point guards in the game within one series at the end of last season. After Kirk Hinrich got hurt, Teague started all six games in the Conference Semifinals against MVP Derrick Rose and the defensive-minded Bulls, averaging 14.8 points and 4.2 assists a night. It was Teague's first real look at extended action, and after such a strong showing on the biggest stage, he is clearly poised for big things. The Hawks need to shake things up if they want to break through their ceiling, and Teague is the one that will take them there.
8. Shaquille Johnson, Milton High School
When your name is Shaquille Johnson, you have to be pretty good at basketball. But no one could have predicted this. The 6-4 senior from Milton (Ga.) High School, who has committed to Auburn, looks like he's following in the footsteps of Chris Porter with the hops he displays every time he hits the hardwood. As one of the most prolific dunkers in Georgia high school history, he added to his legendary status in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 dunk contest this August. While some scouts are still not sold on Johnson – a guy who was the first player off the bench as a junior last season – trust us that he will raise his stock in the Class of 2012 by the end of the year.
7. Thomas Robinson, University of Kansas
While potentially a bit undersized for the power forward position in the NBA, Thomas Robinson makes up for it with length, athleticism and heart. The 6-9 junior scores and rebounds the ball at a high rate (7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while only averaging 14.6 minutes behind the Morris Twins last season), and is a fierce competitor – two things that translate well to the League. After an early exit from the NCAA Tournament, and a spot on the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50, there is no doubt that Robinson is motivated to push Kansas out of its postseason slump and become the face of the Jayhawks in Lawrence.
6. DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors
Raptors fans have to be optimistic and excited heading in to this year after the emergence of DeMar DeRozan. With a solid young core now in place, DeRozan is ready to become the face of the franchise in Toronto. On the season, the second-year wing averaged 17.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, bumping up those averages to 23.1 and 4.9 in the month of April. Whether or not he becomes the next Vince Carter is still yet to been seen, but his potential seems to have no limits.

San Diego Rejects Desalination Plant For Now
The San Diego County Water Authority suspended negotiations with a Connecticut-based company to build a $270 million desalination plant here after a similar project handled by the company in Florida encountered problems, including contractor bankruptcy and higher than projected operating costs.
Poseidon Resources failed to secure the funding it promised to convert sea water into drinking water at a Tampa, Fla., plant, forcing the regional water authority to sell public bonds and take financial control of the project.
The plant was completed five months later than scheduled and processed less water than promised, the authority said.
An agreement between Tampa water officials and Poseidon prohibited the local water authority from reviewing project data, which could have prevented the plant's development problems, Tampa officials said.
Poseidon pursued the same agreement for the Encina Power Station in Carlsbad, Calif., which caused the San Diego Water Authority to reconsider the proposal, San Diego water representatives said.
Problems with the Tampa plant occurred after Poseidon left the project, according to company officials.
San Diego officials want to wait for a resolution to the Tampa situation before they commit to work with Poseidon. If necessary, the county will move ahead with the desalination project on its own, said Ken Weinberg, a spokesman for the authority.

Hi Friends,
I am developing a page in PHP which uses MS SQL Server database. Right now I am developing on Windows Platform. I am using mssql_xxx functions for dealing with database.
My PHP page is going to be hosted on Unix/Linux and MS SQL Server will be on Windows.
We use PHP 4 and MS SQL Server will be 2005.
So the problem is that I have read somewhere that mssql_xxx functions don't work while you are hosting PHP page on Unix/Linux, you have to use ODBC. Is that right?
Please make me understand.

(LANDOVER, Md.) -- With the season on the line, Tony Romo made sure the team lived another game when he hit DeMarco Murray on fourth down in the end zone to put the Cowboys up 24-23 over the Redskins with 1:08 remaining in the game. The defense would hold off the Redskins and the Cowboys will play for the NFC East title for the third consecutive year on the final day of the season against the Eagles.
"Today we felt like we were playing for everything," Romo said. "Next week will be the same thing."
The victory ended a two-game losing streak and snapped a four-game skid in December.
"Coming back and playing well and working hard can help your character. Now, I don't recommend the way we came back today as a way to get there," Dallas owner Jerry Jones said. "I would've liked for it to be a little easier and confident."
Romo played most of the game with back pain and finished with 226 yards and two touchdown passes.
"I know in some ways we've gotten hit with just the fact of losing the last couple of years in the final game," Romo said. "I think we're the only team that keeps getting themselves in position to win the NFC East every year -- that's a credit. It's also a negative in the fact that we didn't do it the last couple of years."
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins finished with 197 yards and a touchdown, but also threw an interception in the second game as a starter this season.

MOSCOW — Thousands of protesters marched through central Moscow on Tuesday under flags from across the political spectrum, defying government efforts to silence them — and fierce thunderstorms besides.
The crowd, estimated by police at 18,000 and by organizers at 50,000, rallied even in the absence of half a dozen protest leaders, who spent much of the day being questioned by investigators pursuing charges of disorder at a May 6 rally. Two prominent organizers were served summonses to appear for questioning Tuesday evening as they stood on a stage to address the crowd.

Rights and Property Law
Dean Lueck and Thomas J. Miceli
|[download paper] [research papers listings]
This chapter examines the economics of property rights and property law. It shows how the economics of property rights can be used to understand fundamental features of property law and related extra-legal institutions. The chapter examines both the rationale for legal doctrine, and the effects of legal doctrine regarding the exercise, enforcement, and transfer of rights. It also examines various property rights regimes including open access, private ownership, common property, and state property. The guiding questions are: How are property rights established? What explains the variation in the types of property rights? What governs the use and transfer of rights? And, how are property rights enforced? In answering these questions we argue that property rights and property law can be best understood as a system of societal rules designed to maximize social wealth. They do this by creating incentives for people to maintain and invest in assets, which leads to specialization and trade.

Fat Albert
New TV on DVD releases this week
One of these days I'm going to get these Route 66 sets. Since I haven't bought any so far and this is a Producer's Picks set, it might be a good place to start. Don't remember the Fat Albert Easter special. Maybe that's the one where he ate a lot of candy and got fat?
And if you haven't gotten the older season one set of House yet, you should buy this one because it's "Anamorphic." Which I think means it was filmed underwater.
- A Haunting - Demon Angels and House of Fear
- Alvin & The Chipmunks - Mystery of the Easter Chipmunk
- Dragon Ball Z - Season 8
- Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids - Easter Special
- Friday The 13th - Season 2
- House - Season 1 (Anamorphic Edition)
- The Inauguration of Barack Obama on CNN
- Kennedy - The Complete Miniseries
- Life with Derek - Let The Games Begin
Saturday Morning: Filmation (Part 3) -- VIDEOS
The 1980s was the beginning of the end for Filmation Studios ... sort of. For, while their Saturday morning fortunes began to fade and eventually disappear, their successes turned to the burgeoning syndication market. It was there, starting in the early 1980s, that the studio introduced us to a sword-wielding warrior who became an animated legend.
Unfortunately, the studio's success in syndication would be a small, but powerful, blip for the two-decade old company. By the end of the 1980s the studio would fade into memory as the company was broken up and its talent moved onto bigger and better things.
Saturday Morning: Filmation (Part 2) -- VIDEOS
If the 1960s was a decade of birth for Filmation, the 1970s was a time where it skipped childhood and moved straight into the role of responsible adult. With somewhere in the area of 30 programs airing during that decade, the team of Lou Scheimer, Hal Sutherland and Norm Prescott became big players on Saturday mornings. Not only that, but the trio helped usher in a number of genres that would become staples for both their own productions and those of the other studios as well.
If that weren't enough, the 1970s saw Filmation dabble into something that had come and gone on the Saturday morning schedule since the 1960s: live-action series. Combining comedy, drama and special effects, the studio produced an number of shows that provided a lot less cheese than the live-action series of, say, Sid & Marty Kroftt.
New TV on DVD releases this week
Hmmm, a bunch of "Best Of" sets are being released this week. I've never liked this idea (most of these sets don't have episodes that I'd like to see, and I'd like a complete collection), though I guess I can understand why they release them. They want to see if fans are interested and aren't sure if it warrants a whole season being released. Though I'm not sure why shows like Banacek and B.L. Stryker are getting "Best Of" sets since they have already had season sets released.
- B.L. Stryker - Best Of
- Banacek - Best Of
- Beany & Cecil - Classic Collection, Volumes 1 and 2
- Charles in Charge - Best Of
- The Crow: Stairway to Heaven - Best Of
- Curious George - Sails with Pirates and Other Curious Capers
- Death Note - Vol. 6
- Dirty Jobs - Collection 3
- Entourage - Season 4
- Everybody Hates Chris - Season 3
- Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids - Halloween
- The Golden Age of Comedy
- Heroes - Season 2
- The Honeymooners - Color, Collection 4
- NCIS - Season 5 and Seasons 1-5 sets
- One Tree Hill - Season 5
- Robson Arms - Season 3
- The Shield - Season 6
- Shockwave - Season 1
- The Untouchables - Season 2, Vol. 2
Saturday Morning: 1972 (Part 2) - VIDEOS
Last time on Saturday Morning we took a look at the ABC schedule for the 1972-73 season. This time around, we are looking at the lineups for CBS and NBC.
As mentioned in the previous post, the way that the Saturday morning schedule shaped-up during 1972 was due, in part, to the way that then Saturday Morning programmer for ABC, Michael Eisner, decided to infuse it with a bit of primetime philosophy. The result for the other two networks was a schedule that featured more movie-like and variety-based cartoons as well as animated fare that emulated the primetime hits of that day. In addition, some primetime talent was brought onto Saturday mornings to help jumpstart the educational fare that had slogged along during the last two years. By combining primetime personality with animated programming the networks introduce a new genre of program into the mix.
Artists take on Fat Albert and the Cosby kids
I always love to see artists create their own versions of classic characters. It's like watching a musician cover someone else's song. Anyway, Saxton Moore recently posed a challenge on his blog where he asked artists to draw their own versions of their favorite characters from Fat Albert, and you can see the results here. This illustration of Dumb Donald is hands down my very favorite. Actually, all of the drawings and paintings are really well-done, but if you want to see something really cool, check out this painting of Homer Simpson done for an issue of Esquire by artist Roberto Parada back in 1999. It's fascinatingly disturbing.

When the Nobel-prize winning physicist William Shockley wasn't helping to invent the transistor, he was lecturing or speaking about "Dysgenics," the theory that mankind was slowly becoming less intelligent due to the simple fact that smart people did not reproduce fast as stupid people. Shockley argued that in order for humanity to resist this downward intellectual pressure, we needed something which forced us upwards. He theorized that a super-predator which hunted man could provide that upward pressure, forcing mankind to be smart or die.
Radical bio-engineers convinced of Shockley's thesis designed just such a super-predator in the early 21st century and a breeding population existed in secret by the time of the Big Mistake. The earth-shattering chaos which soon followed allowed Homo Shockleyensis to escape its confines; its makers perished soon after.
Shockleys are pack creatures bred to hunt and kill man. They have a genetic disposition to enjoy human flesh. Although they can use technology, they cannot maintain or repair it. It is common to find various bits of Ancient trash in use by Shockleys, and some of them may even use weapons or Omega Tech, but when these devices break, they are simply discarded. When Shockleys attack, they begin by disarming their foes, depriving human beings of weapons or tools. They see in the dark, track by scent, and kill with claw and fang.
Design Notes: Shockleys are inspired by a sidebar in GURPS Y2K. I used 4E monster design rules, including the recent buff to monster damage values. In play, Shockleys should be run like the creatures in the Aliens films: terrifying and lightning quick, always just a little bit smarter than you thought they were.

Brat's Win Teaches The GOP Lessons
June 16, 2014
Nicole Gelinas
What does David Brat, the Tea Party's new star, have in common with Elizabeth Warren, the Occupy Wall Street senator from Massachusetts? They both understand that America is still traumatized and angry over the 2008 financial crisis.
Mainstream pols in Brat's party, take note.
Last week, Brat, an economics professor, came out of nowhere to thrash Eric Cantor, the House GOP's No. 2 guy, in a Virginia primary.
People say Cantor lost because he wanted to legalize some illegal immigrants or because people are tired of business as usual, including the Cantor campaign's nearly $200,000 worth of steak dinners.
OK, but Brat won on another issue, too: ending what he calls crony capitalism for the financial industry.
Eric voted to bail out the big Wall Street banks in 2008, Brat reminded voters on his Web site. It is no coincidence that the same banks that received TARP bailout funds are also some of Cantor's largest donors.
On Brat's issues list, bashing Cantor for his TARP vote comes ahead of bashing Cantor for supporting illegal immigration amnesty and fully fund[ing] ObamaCare.
Brat was even more explicit in speeches. All the investment banks in New York and DC those guys should have gone to jail, he told a crowd last month, according to the Financial Times. Instead of going to jail, they went on Eric's Rolodex.
Then, there was the STOCK Act, which outlawed pols' insider trading. Nobody paid attention to this 2012 bill, except, apparently, voters. Eric Cantor added an amendment to the bipartisan STOCK Act [that] allows family members of congressmen to get rich from insider trading, one Brat supporter wrote in a letter to The Virginia Free Citizen three weeks before Election Day.
And he voted to bail out the big Wall Street banks, she added.
That Brat was able to use Cantor's support of Wall Street to propel himself to victory highlights a dilemma for GOP pols.
It was a Republican president who signed into law the biggest bailout in American history yet most Republicans still don't want to talk about it. They criticize Obama for criticizing the bankers and think that somehow helps them.
Yes, they're right to bash Obama's flawed Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law: It didn't end too big to fail, as top Obama administration officials have admitted to Congress.
But mainstream GOP contenders don't ever come out and say: People are correct to be upset that the bankers who helped cause the 2008 crisis continue to do just fine, even if they got fired while regular people struggle with a burden of mortgage and student-loan debt even if they didn't lose their jobs.
It should be a key part of Republican speeches to acknowledge how badly the financial industry failed on Republicans' watch and to vow to hold Wall Street accountable to free-market forces as well as to the justice system.
But in the 2012 presidential primaries, only Rick Santorum brought it up.
Republicans seem to hope that, as time passes, people will blame Obama and the Democrats, not the Republicans, for the 2008 mess and its hangover.
Maybe, but it's taking a long time. In April, The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll asked voters what's to blame for current economic conditions Obama's policies or a situation Obama inherited. Five-plus years into this presidency, 47 percent still blamed Obama's predecessor. Only 39 percent blame Obama.
Yes, Obama's economic policies have ranged from ineffectual to harmful.But the country's biggest economic challenge over the past half-decade has been paying off the private-sector debt incurred over the previous decade. Household debt doubled between 2000 and 2008, to nearly $14 trillion.
People get that there was never going to be a good way out of this mess, which is why blaming Obama still doesn't fly.
A mainstream Republican who embraces fixing Wall Street and openly admits the GOP's past failures would arm him- or herself well against one potential opponent: Hillary Clinton.
Clinton showed her own tune-deafness last week, saying that she and Bill came out of the White House dead broke. Of course, donations from the world's bailed-out top 1 percent allowed the Clintons to climb from poverty into private jets.
Brat's free-market purism isn't the answer for the entire GOP (he's against Medicare prescription drugs, among other things). But the party needs to learn from his victory: Republicans can't be apologists for Wall Street's failings if they want to run a credible national race in two years.

Get Your Tennessee Teaching Certification
If you would like to become a teacher in Tennessee, then the most efficient way to get that done is to graduate from an accredited college or university with an approved teacher preparation program. As a part of the program, you will complete the required courses, take the proper Praxis assessments, and receive the recommendation that will allow you to become certified in Tennessee.
To get your license, once the Dean of Education and Certification Office has recommended you for certification, you will need to complete an application form and submit that along with official transcripts from your school. During your first few years teaching, you will need to complete the "Framework for Evaluation and Professional Growth" training. You will need to teach for three years with this license before you can advance to the Professional License.
Once you receive your Apprentice Teacher License, you will want to find a position at a school in Tennessee. Memphis City Schools employs well-qualified teachers who are committed to academic achievement in this district where over 53% of teachers hold a Master's degree or higher and 95% are "highly qualified." Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools has a strong teacher base with over 93% being "highly qualified." The turnover rate is low and the teacher awards earned is high in this diverse district with students from over 84 countries represented. Knox County Schools teach with a curriculum that is child-centered and community-based and is updated every six years. Hamilton County Schools in Chattanooga use several innovative initiatives in their goal to increase student performance and decrease drop-out rates.
After having taught for three years with your Apprentice Teacher License, you will need to upgrade to a Professional License. In order to do this, you will need to have completed the "Framework for Evaluation and Professional Growth" and must be currently employed for five months in the same specialty that matches the endorsement on your license. A teacher must be recommended for advancement by the school in which he/she teaches. Once you receive your Professional License, it will be valid for ten years before renewal. In order to renew this license, if you have a Bachelor's degree or a Master's degree with less than five years teaching, you will need to earn 90 credits through either college courses or pre-approved professional development activities. If you have a Master's degree with more than five years teaching, you do not need any credits.

The Baroque Is Now: Brian Dickie and Claudio Valdés Kuri in Conversation
Sat, Mar 21, 2009
MCA Theater
Admission is free, but RSVP is required. To reserve tickets, call the MCA Box Office at 312.397.4010.
Co-presented by Chicago Opera Theater and the MCA
What happens when experimental theater and opera directors tackle the Baroque? And why does the Baroque continue to captivate us?
On the occasion of the MCA's presentation of Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes's production Monsters and Prodigies: The History of the Castrati (March 20-22), artistic director Claudio Valdés Kuri joins Chicago Opera Theater's General Director Brian Dickie to discuss the enduring allure of the Baroque and how it influences experimental theater and opera today. This wide-ranging conversation also draws from the directors' creative approaches to directing provocative artistic teams as well as reinterpreting overlooked works for insight into contemporary intersections between opera and theater. Beatriz Margain, Cultural Attaché for the Consulate of Mexico, facilitates the discussion.
Brian Dickie
Brian Dickie joined Chicago Opera Theater (COT) as its General Director in 1999 and successfully led COT to become one of the marquee companies of the Harris Theater in Millennium Park. Dickie began his career in opera in 1962 when he joined the Glydebourne Festival Opera, where he served as general administrator (1981-88). He was also the General Director of the Canadian Opera Company (1989-93); Artistic Advisor to the Opéra de Nice (1994-97); and Advisor to the International Youth Foundation during the formation of the European Union.
Claudio Valdés Kuri
As the founder and director of Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes, Claudio Valdés Kuri's work has been presented to wide acclaim in some of the most important theaters in Mexico, his native country, as well as worldwide. Trained as an actor since age 11, he holds a degree in documentary film direction, was cofounder and bass voice of the internationally renowned early music ensemble Ars Nova, and is well-regarded for his set and lighting designs in Mexico and abroad.
Monsters and Prodigies: The History of the Castrati is made possible by a grant from the Governor's International Arts Exchange Program of the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
Generous support provided by the Consulate General of Mexico, Chicago, and the Mexico Tourism Board.

Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP
In-hospital resuscitation has gotten a lot of attention lately. Data analysis shows a significant number of cardiac arrests take place in hospitals—at least as many as, if not more than, in community settings. Evolving continually, resuscitation science is starting to offer best practices specific to hospitalized patients. This article describes six such practices to improve patient care. Of course, other best practices exist, but the ones you'll read about here are those most often cited in the literature. Some of them may surprise you.
Purpose/Goal: The purpose of this activity is to provide nurses with information that will help them ensure patients receive optimal care during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
1. Discuss the role of effective compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
2. State six key resuscitation practices.
3. Describe effective monitoring during resuscitation efforts.
Dr. McEvoy is a nurse clinician in cardiothoracic surgical intensive care at Albany Medical Center in NY where he chairs the resuscitation committee and teaches critical care medicine. He is the EMS coordinator for Saratoga County, NY and co-author of the Critical Care Transport textbook and the Informed Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide.

FOREST HEIGHTS, TEXAS. Forest Heights is a residential community located east of State Highway 87 about eight miles north of Orange in northeastern Orange County. Development in this settlement, probably named because of the piney woods in the area, was well established by the early 1970s. The first census figures were reported in 1990 when Forest Heights had 250 residents. That number remained constant in 2000.

CANTON Dinner was served at Natures Storehouse, 21 Main St., from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday as guests participated in a free demonstration on how to make vegetarian sushi.
Two tables were set up with plates of thinly slices vegetables, cheese and pickles along with bowls of brown rice and stacks of sushi nori.
Its a toasted nori seaweed and its specifically made for sushi, Natures Storehouse owner Rainbow L. Crabtree said.
After spreading rice out on the flat square of toasted seaweed, people were able to pick different types of vegetables including carrots, peppers, avocado and beats to place on one side of the square. Then they had to roll it and slice the roll into pieces.
Mrs. Crabtree said that sometimes when people go out to eat sushi it seems to be a complicated process.
What we really wanted to get across is that this is a very simple thing, she said. We dont use any special equipment. You can make the rice in a pot and cut the vegetables up and do this at home really simply.
Mrs. Crabtree said they started the event last year during Winterfest, and the turnout was so good they decided to make it a Winterfest tradition.
We were looking for something different to do during Winterfest, she said. We wanted a family-friendly event that would also raise awareness about healthy eating.
Mrs. Crabtree said since having the event last year, they have been making sushi in the kitchen at her store and selling it in their deli cooler on Thursdays. I think that the only places to buy sushi locally would be maybe at the Asian buffets in Canton and Potsdam, she said.
Katherine Kolber, Morgan McNeal and Sarah Neilson, three students at St. Lawrence University, learned how to make sushi, an experience they plan to try at home as well.
We saw flyers for this around the school, Miss Neilson said. We love sushi and thought itd be fun to make.

BackgroundThe year is 1715, at a time when pirates ruled the Caribbean. In Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Edward Kenway is one such pirate, living by his own rules as he chases a long-forgotten dream of becoming his own man. His world is forever changed however after a chance meeting that leaves Edward without a ship and holding an important delivery, thus thrusting him into the ancient Assassin-Templar conflict.
As a respected pirate, Edward works closely alongside historical legends like Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Benjamin Hornigold. With their help, Edward strives to become a legend in his own right, while also discovering his place in the grander scheme of things. His greatest asset -- and the biggest gameplay addition to Black Flag -- the Jackdaw. The Jackdaw is a fully customizable ship that serves as a base of operations and floating fortress, with fully upgradable weapons and defenses. Players can traverse the open ocean and partake in naval battles, while hunting for treasures and doing much of the same activities offered on land.
Black Flag boasts an open world very similar to that of Assassin's Creed III, consisting heavily of wilderness regions and smaller urban settlements. The world opens up much faster to players this time, and the returning hunting system now entails fishing in addition to hunting on land.
Similar to previous games, Edward can eventually become a leader and command a loyal following, who are integral to maintaining a strong fleet and acquiring new ships. Unlike before, the player can't rely on these friendly NPCs in combat or to pull off long-range assassinations.
