What every physician needs to know:
Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) has emerged as a distinct syndrome. Although it presents from the community, its unique epidemiology, microbiology, and outcomes attest to the influence of its victims' ongoing exposure to the healthcare system.
The 2005 guidelines from the American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America define HCAP by the presence of at least one of six risk factors in a patient presenting from the community with a pneumonia:
1) Hospitalization for two or more days in the preceding ninety days
2) Residence in a nursing home (NHR) or extended care facility
3) Home infusion therapy (including antibiotics)
4) Chronic dialysis within thirty days
5) Home wound care
6) A family member with multi-drug-resistant pathogen.
Subsequent studies have variously added the presence of immune suppression and/or general need for home healthcare.
The purpose of inquiring about these risk factors is to identify patients at a higher risk for harboring an antibiotic-resistant pathogen since multiple studies have demonstrated that instituting appropriate empiric coverage can improve outcomes in HCAP. In a patient who presents from the community with symptoms, signs, and supportive data (white blood cell count, chest radiograph) of a pneumonia, the presence of any of the HCAP risk factors implies a higher probability of a resistant organism.
Not applicable.
Are you sure your patient has healthcare-associated pneumonia? What should you expect to find?
HCAP is generally present in patients who present with pneumonia from the community with risk factors that underscore their continued encounters with the healthcare system. The following risk factors are put forth by the ATS/IDSA guidelines to define HCAP:
Hospitalization for two or more days in the preceding ninety days
Residence in a nursing home (NHR) or extended care facility
Home infusion therapy (including antibiotics)
Chronic dialysis within thirty days
Home wound care
A family member with multi-drug-resistant pathogen
Although MRSA and Pseudomonas are the most common pathogens in HCAP, the rates of culture positivity tend to be low, ranging from 1/3 to 2/3 of all HCAP patients; however, this rate is consistently higher than it is for patients with CAP. HCAP patients are also older and have a higher comorbid disease burden and greater severity of acute illness than those who present with CAP. Consequently, hospital mortality in HCAP is higher than it is in CAP; the adjusted analyses suggest a 65-128 percent increase in this risk above that in CAP.
Beware: there are other diseases that can mimic healthcare-associated pneumonia.
Although its presentation from the community results in HCAP's being frequently confused with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), HCAP's unique epidemiology and microbiology require a different approach from that taken with CAP because prior exposure to healthcare sets the patient up for an increased risk of harboring a resistant pathogen.
In multiple cohort studies, the proportion of all pneumonia patients hospitalized from the community who have HCAP is 20-75 percent of the cohort, depending on the study.
How and/or why did the patient develop healthcare-associated pneumonia?
The pathophysiology is the same as for any pneumonic process, with the exception of the inciting organisms.
Which individuals are at greatest risk of developing healthcare-associated pneumonia?
When a patient presents with pneumonia, the critical step with which to identify HCAP vs. CAP are to ask about the list of six established risk factors that differentiate one from the other. If at least one of these criteria is present, the clinician should consider the possibility of a resistant pathogen and choose the empiric therapy accordingly. This risk stratification should also take into account the local resistance patterns.
Some investigators have attempted to sharpen the diagnostic definition of the risk for a resistant pathogen in patients who present with a pneumonia from the community. These attempts have resulted in a bedside scoring algorithm, where immune suppression, admission from a long-term care facility and a recent history of an exposure to antibiotics identified the risk of MRSA, Pseudomonas and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase organisms with greater accuracy than the HCAP definition did.
What laboratory studies should you order to help make the diagnosis, and how should you interpret the results?
Blood culture and urinary antigen testing should be ordered prior to administering antibiotics. It is recommended that a quantitative lower respiratory tract culture be obtained prior to instituting antibiotics if the patient's clinical condition allows. As for any serious infection, the white blood cell count with a differential is helpful.
What imaging studies will be helpful in making or excluding the diagnosis of healthcare-associated pneumonia?
A chest x-ray may confirm the presence of a pneumonia if an infiltrate is seen. In cases in which the clinical suspicion for pneumonia is high but the chest x-ray is normal, a chest CT may be helpful to demonstrate an infiltrate.
What non-invasive pulmonary diagnostic studies will be helpful in making or excluding the diagnosis of healthcare-associated pneumonia?
A chest x-ray to look for an infiltrate should be done upon admission. Laboratory data should include white blood cell count and blood cultures. The latter should be obtained prior to instituting antimicrobial coverage if the patient's clinical condition allows it.
What diagnostic procedures will be helpful in making or excluding the diagnosis of healthcare-associated pneumonia?
Chest x-ray, blood culture, and quantitative sputum culture (which can be obtained with tracheal suctioning or bronchoscopy) are helpful.
What pathology/cytology/genetic studies will be helpful in making or excluding the diagnosis of healthcare-associated pneumonia?
Not applicable.
If you decide the patient has healthcare-associated pneumonia, how should the patient be managed?
If the patient is hemodynamically compromised or exhibits signs of respiratory failure, stabilization of these life-threatening physiologic events should be undertaken per usual protocols.
The cornerstone of successful therapy in HCAP is tailoring empiric coverage for the most likely bacterial pathogen. Many studies indicate that adequate empiric antibiotic coverage within the first twenty-four hours of presentation is critical to optimize outcomes. At the same time, studies show that patients who present with HCAP are more likely than those with CAP to receive empiric treatment that does not cover the pathogen eventually identified in culture. The failure to cover the culprit organism adequately has been associated with a two- to three-fold increase in the risk of hospital death and an increase in length of hospital stay and attendant costs.
Broadening antibiotic coverage in response to a culture result does not mitigate the ill effects of inappropriate coverage within twenty-four hours of presentation.
Putting this evidence together makes a strong argument for adequate coverage up front. The intent of the HCAP definition is to alert the treating physician to the heightened possibility of an atypical pathogen, one with an increased probability of antimicrobial resistance. When a patient meets at least one of the HCAP criteria, the clinician should consider broadening antimicrobial coverage from that adequate for CAP to one recommended in the HCAP guideline.
Based on the risk factor profile, the ATS/IDSA guideline recommends that empiric treatment for a suspected HCAP include combination therapy with an antipseudomonal cephalosporin or a carbapenem or a beta-lactam/ beta-lactamase inhibitor plus an antipseudomonal fluoroquinolone or an aminoglycoside; linezolid or vancomycin should be added to this combination if the risk of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is high. These antibiotic selections are distinctly broader than either a fluoroquinolone or a beta-lactam plus a macrolide, recommended for treatment of hospitalized patients with CAP. If these approaches prove ineffective, atypical pathogens or alternative diagnoses should be investigated.
Because the patient is likely to be discharged on antibiotics, the follow-up should include not only confirmation of continued clinical improvement, but also confirmation that there is no evidence of such potential complications as an antibiotic allergy or a secondary infection with Clostridium difficile. Follow-up should also include a review of the medications on which the patient was discharged with a view to eliminating any agents prescribed in the hospital that may be unnecessary in the recovering individual.
What is the prognosis for patients managed in the recommended ways?
Unadjusted hospital mortality for HCAP ranges from 10 percent to 25 percent, depending on the study, which is distinctly higher than the hospital mortality for CAP. Initial inappropriate antimicrobial therapy has been shown to roughly double the risk of death, and escalation of treatment in response to culture data fails to attenuate this risk. In adjusted analyses, HCAP raised mortality risk by 65-128 percent compared to patients with CAP. Therefore, close in-hospital monitoring for clinical improvement is warranted for HCAP patients. Because patients with HCAP tend to be older and to have a higher chronic illness burden than those with CAP do, close outpatient follow-up is indicated.
Although culture may be negative in many HCAP patients, at least one study suggests that, despite a higher prevalence of guideline-concordant treatment for CAP than HCAP among culture-negative HCAP patients (72% for culture-negative vs. 26% for culture-positive), unadjusted hospital mortality was significantly lower for those without a positive culture (7%) than in those with a positive culture (24.6%). One study in nursing home patients hospitalized for a pneumonia reported no significant differences in the clinical outcomes between patients treated according to the HCAP guideline vs. the CAP guideline.
One important shortcoming of the study that limits the interpretation of the results is its lack of microbiology data, either as a culture-positive vs. culture-negative pneumonia or as the actual pathogens isolated. It is possible that the lack of a difference in treatment was due to a high prevalence of culture-negative infections that, despite the presence of HCAP risk factors, may be treated successfully with a CAP regimen. It is also possible that the local patterns of resistance did not necessitate broad coverage.
What other considerations exist for patients with healthcare-associated pneumonia?
The patient's general status should be considered when making disposition decisions. Since HCAP patients tend to be more frail than those with CAP, they may require a period of rehabilitation following their acute illness. In addition, advanced directives discussion should be considered in appropriate cases.

Edmund S. Valtman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Hartford Times, died Wednes- day at a retirement home in Bloomfield, Conn. He was 90.
Valtman won the Pulitzer in 1962 for his work the year before.
That work was exemplified by a cartoon published Aug. 31, 1961, showing Fidel Castro leading a beleaguered, shackled and barefoot man labeled "Cuba." He tells another man, in a broken-down cart labeled "Brazil": "What you need, man, is a revolution like mine!"
Colleagues on Friday remembered Valtman for his wit and his ability to capture the essence of the people he drew.
"Ed was a great caricaturist," said Don Noel, head of the Hartford Times editorial department for many years while Valtman worked there. "I enjoyed watching him develop the signature features that he would use with dozens of prominent people in Connecticut.
"He would sketch 18 noses until he got it just right," Noel said. "He did [former Connecticut] Gov. Ella Grasso beautifully. He caught her beautifully. The baggy eyes."

I copied the tar.exe and md5sum.exe from Cygwin bin folder. got the tar built ok. opened it with 7zip to check if the file was in there and it was with permissions of 0rwxr-xr-x. did the command for md5sum and then opened with 7zip again, and it gave me an error before it opened. "there is no correct record at the end of archive" then it opened. But the permissions are different from the one I know works. In screenshot below, the one that works is on top, the one I made is on the bottom. Not the differences in "mode". do you think that will make any difference?

International buffet/cookbook/fundraiser/etc
Filet Mignon
2008/02/20 20:19:42
When I was in college (ancient times) my sorority used to have an International Buffet for charity each year where each sorority member made a dish from her nationality and then we served them all for maybe $5 or $10 entrance fee (ancient times). Since I went to college in NYC there was real diversity in the foods: Irish, Italian, Puerto Rican, Polish, French, German, Asian, etc.
When my niece was in elementary school each child contributed an ethnic family recipe and they sold cookbooks as a fund raiser.
In my daughter's middle school each month a differentr teacher brings in an ethnic dish for a faculty luncheon. They also are planning a soup fundraiser where children will bring in a soup of their ethnic background.
Have any of you particiapted in similar activities?

I'm surprised that no one joined in on this. In fact, in Santa Fe where we are right now, a local church is having an International Luncheon (fundraiser)today: Ukranian, Ethiopian and Indian foods.

I teach at a h.s.in Jersey,and last year we had a cook book of teacher recipes we sold as a fundraiser. My wife and I contributed two recipes and we still get comments from people who have tried and loved my wife's Japanese Chicken wings and my Mom's Swiss-Pasta dish. I'm surprised more people don't do this. Imagine a roadfooder's cook book!!!!!!?????

It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story [1] from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here [2]. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
Ok, so I don't really like using a quote from scripture to start my success story but it really is the best title. I hope that through this story I can show you just how much that is indeed the case.
I have never really been "overweight." I was blessed with decent enough genetics that through most of my childhood and early adult life (I'm currently 26, by the way…and male) I was able to maintain a good weight while pretty much eating whatever my mom put on the table or packed me for lunch. I even managed to not really gain the "Freshman Fifteen" when I went to college. However, I did put on a little weight mainly because the dorm cafeteria was basically all you can eat. Eating two patty-melts or two "pizza pockets" each meal while also eating a huge salad with WAY too much dressing, cheese, and croutons on it finally did start to catch up to me. By the end of my freshman year I was about 5'7" (that hasn't changed, sadly) and about 165#. Things were about to change for the better though.
My love for fitness and health began during the summer before my sophomore year of college. I was working out at Lifetime Fitness while visiting home and I happened to bump into a couple of friends from high school. They taught me how to work out better and began to teach me a little more about eating right. One of them had been a personal trainer for a while so I got a good load of conventional wisdom but thankfully it was mostly helpful. I put on a good amount of muscle 0ver the next year or so, but realized one day that I still was not as lean as I wanted to be. I knew something had to change and I figured it was my diet.
At that point, I had already been toying with the idea of trying "The Abs Diet" put out by Men's Health Magazine. I had been intrigued by it from the first time I heard of it because who doesn't want to see his six-pack? I took the plunge. Basically, the premise of the diet was to eat the 12 "Power Foods" which consisted of almonds and other nuts, beans and legumes (yikes), spinach and other green veggies, dairy (uh…), instant oatmeal (what?!), eggs, turkey and other lean meats, peanut butter (man…), olive oil, whole grain breads and cereals (crap!), extra whey protein, and raspberries and other berries. You ate 3 meals and 3 snacks throughout each day on a pretty specific timetable as well. The workout consisted of a circuit workout a few times a week and you were allowed one cheat meal a week (which was great except that it kept me on a reward system with food – eat right for 6.67 days and then eat total crap 1 meal). All in all though, it actually worked for me. It was a six week program and in that time I lost about 10 pounds and you could indeed see my abs! I was very pleased. I continued to eat this way for a couple of years and maintained the weight that I had achieved and overall felt pretty good and was happy. I know now that I was not really eating all that well, was eating too much, and was pretty steeped in conventional wisdom! At this point I'd already graduated from college, gotten married, and began my life with my beautiful bride. I also continued to eat "The Abs Diet" way and subscribe to Men's Health Magazine. I began doing CrossFit and loved it. Well, in 2008 things really took a turn for the worst!
I have always been a type A personality. To this point it had not really manifested itself in my eating habits other than always making sure I had at least three or four "power foods" in each meal (which is why I was eating way too much) and eating at the right intervals as prescribed by the diet. Well, one article in Men's Health tapped into my anal retentiveness and I began falling down a slippery slope of food and health obsession. The article basically talked about how to put on a lot of muscle while staying lean. Here was the basic description: Eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight a day (for me about 160g), half your body weight in fat per day (about 80g), and using a formula to figure out daily calorie needs the rest of you calories came from carbs (about 140g). Although the ratios are off a little and I wasn't eating enough fat this really isn't that bad of an approach to eating. The only problem was that I was still eating the Power Foods so most of my carbs were coming from grain, cereals, and beans. I was eating fruits and veggies, but not nearly enough. This was when I started counting calories and macronutrients. I would literally track everything that I ate every day, how many grams of protein, carbs, and fat I was eating, and total calories… by hand. I became obsessed with it. During this time my brother asked me if I felt like I was controlled by food – I avoided the question but in the end the answer was yes. Food had taken control of my life. It was all I thought about and if I messed up or ate too much of this or that macronutrient or too many calories I freaked out. It was bad. It got to a point that I would take 45 minutes to pack a lunch and snack for the next day at work because I had to "run the numbers." My wife and I started to fight a lot as a result and it was all very frustrating. My cheat meals also became more excessive because of the stress the rest of the week caused. I would consistently eat WAY too much once a week of complete junk, but I continued to be muscular and lose weight (thanks to CrossFit). I was also the leanest and lightest I had been at about 150#. So all this counting and stressing worked, but it was NOT sustainable for my life or for my marriage. My wife and I had a really big fight one night and she asked me "what happens when we have kids and you miss 45 minutes of time with your family every night so you can pack food?" That hit me like a tone of bricks – something had to change. Enter the Zone (ha!).
While perusing the CrossFit discussion board I found out about the Zone diet. I had never really read into it because it always seemed so complicated. After this fight with my wife I looked more closely into it and found out that it was not nearly as bad as I thought. I figured out what I needed in blocks a day and printed off a block chart and starting using it. Although I was still weighing and measuring my food it allowed me to do so much faster and start to get me away from being so exact in my measurements. I began to be able to estimate (which was a huge step!). Things started to get a lot better. Also while on the discussion board I found out about CrossFit Strength Bias (CFSB) and the Paleo Diet. I used CFSB to put on a lot of muscle and got myself up from about 150# to about 163#. I was very pleased with my results. On the other hand, I had read up on the Paleo Diet and had pretty much dismissed it out of hand. No Grains, Dairy, or Legumes! Preposterous! These were staples of my diet and I had lost weight eating them. Not for me. During this time, however, I was not nearly as lean as I wanted to be and started asking a lot of questions on the board about how I was eating and how to lean out, etc. This was all about three or four months ago. One day someone on CrossFit mentioned the website MarksDailyApple.com. I had never heard of it so I checked it out. That was the day my life changed forever.
I began to read all the articles on MDA about the Primal way of eating and living. I read about why grains and legumes were so bad and why dairy probably wasn't the best thing for me. In a couple of days time I spent hours on that website. I decided to give it a try. The main change for me was the grains, dairy, and legumes. It took me a while and it wasn't easy but over time I gave up all those things and started eating Primal. I still used the zone diet block system and weighed and measured my food, but very quickly I found I was becoming less and less stressed about it. I also loved the whole lifestyle approach that was such a staple of MDA and the Primal way of life. Things were better than ever with my food and my life. I was able to let go of feeling the need to eat every so often. I began eating less overall and also doing IF including a couple of 24 hour fasts once a week! For me, coming from 6 meals a day, this was a big deal. I now ate food around my life as opposed to planning life around my food.
At this point, in 2013, I've pretty much found myself in a maintenance mode. I'm pleased with my weight and body composition and it's become easy to eat and move Primally. The most wonderful part is still that I no longer obsess about food. My family has also grown as my wife and I now have a 16 month old daughter. Life is good.
So that's pretty much it. I must never forget where I have come from and how much finding The Primal Blueprint [3] has changed my life. Maybe now you understand why I entitled this story what I did. Primal eating and living has set me free from myself and from food. I am happier, healthier, and more vibrant. I no longer stress about food and all that goes along with that. I can now focus on the more important things in this life and enjoy it for all that it is. I have you to thank for that Mark. You showed me the truth and it has indeed set me free.
Grok on!

I had rhinoplasty about 10 years ago after I broke my nose. Recently, I noticed a dimple/depression on the left side of nose (near turbinate). Not sure what caused it, but my ps recommended a cartilage graft. It's been about a week and the dimple has improved, but is not fully gone. It's especially evident when I smile or scrunch my face up/ Wondering if it will get better with time? Or is this an indication of my perm results?
Cartilage Graft in Nose to Correct Dimple?
Doctor Answers 7
A Cartilage Graft for a Dimple Following a Rhinoplasty Would Work- But Filler May Be a Better Option
While a cartilage graft should work for your dimple, I would recommend starting with a small amount of filler into the area. Given that the dimple sounds like it is changing, a temporary solution (the filler) might be the best initial option. If you like the results of the filler, and the dimple returns when the filler wears off, a cartilage graft would then make sense. Good luck.
Nose Simple Correction
For the persistent indentation, divot or dimple after rhinoplasty (one year or more postop), an injectable filler or a cartilage graft can provide a correction. You may consider an injectable filler approach first because it is easily and quickly done and only consider a cartilage graft if the filler material does not persist.

Cartilage Graft Results
It is very early to assess the results of the cartilage graft you had.
Dimples are usually treated either via the surgical approach (permanent) or through a non-surgical approach: the fillers (temporary).
I recommend that you be a little more patient and to make sure that you follow your surgeon's instructions religiously.
Usually, it take up to a year for the final results to be established regardless of the size of the graft.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question/post.
The best of wishes to you.

Too soon, but there are many types of grafts to repair true divots and irregularities: after one year of healing time, regarding rhinoplasty.
Nasal Cartilage Graft to Correct Dimple
First I would want to examine you to try to determine the cause of the dimple. This is unusual 10 years after your rhinoplasty. A cartilage graft or a filler can be used to eliminate the dimple.
Cartilage Graft to Nasal Dimple
You are to soon in the recovery phase to determine any results at this time. Give this several months to heal and follow up with your surgeon during this process so that you may have your questions answered and give you some peace of mind during this waiting period.Best regards!

You will have to wait for the healing process to complete which is between 9-12 months. Occasionally, excessive swelling may exaggerate the dimpling.

text: So I just landed some Velour Black R-2. I'll cross the fog-bridge when I get to it. Anyway, I don't have a clue about the surface though. I guess I'll just have to look at it under safelight. I'm a little confused by the letter code. Unblinkingeye's catalog of antique papers lists all Velour Black as having a canvas surface but they don't list any letter designations. I've seen Velour in surfaces, A, T, and R. The article lists Azo R as a linen surface, and all of the other Kodak R's as tweed surfaces. I don't see any letter designations for Dupont papers. I was wondering if you guys have any idea what kind of surface this is. Thanks. Edit: I guess I might as well ask the fog question now, as my only one is quite simple. How high a concentration of benzotriazole/KI/KBr in total solution can I have before I too seriously inhibit the developer? That is, does something like an amidol recipe require an excess of anti-fog for this application, and if so, could someone give me a ball-park figure for how much extra anti-fog reagent(s) I can/should try adding.

Sister act: One by-product of having lived 100 years is a sweeping, first-hand sense of American history that most of us can only cull from books. Having Our Say--an autobiographical, two-woman dramatic adaptation based on the best-selling true story of African-American sisters Miss Sadie and Dr. Bessie Delany--illustrates that broad historical scope in delightful, uplifting fashion. The homey Broadway production opens tonight at 8 in the Auditorium Theatre, 14th and Curtis in the Plex; Denver audiences can then catch the sisters' moving oral record daily except Monday, through May 11. For showtimes and tickets, which range from $15 to $46, call 893-4100 or 830-TIXS.
Big bands in cow town: When it comes to booking sophisticated jazz acts, you just don't have to be a teeming metropolis anymore. The University of Northern Colorado at Greeley, known for its progressive music program, proves that point this weekend by hosting the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival, a massive jazz-band powwow matching high-school and college musicians from around the state with some big names in the business, such as Lou Rawls, Bela Fleck and talented Gil Evans protegee Maria Schneider. Today through Saturday, daytime clinics and performances featuring some of those names--along with saxophonist David Liebman and others--will be free and open to the public. But they're saving the best for a trio of more formal evening performances, taking place at 7:30 nightly at Union Colony Civic Center, 701 10th Ave., Greeley. Rawls joins UNC's Et Cetera ensemble tonight; Fleck teams up with the school's Jazz Combo tomorrow; and Schneider and Liebman work with more budding UNC musicians, as well as the USAF Falconaires; tickets are $14 to $24 per show. For information, call 1-970-351-2577; to reserve tickets, call 1-800-315-ARTS.
Go, you girls: It's a small gesture that goes a long way in the right direction. Take Our Daughters to Work Day lasts only twenty-four hours and probably won't shake up the world, but it might plant a positive seed in some young girl's mind. Enough said. So take your daughter--or someone else's--to work. And really make a day of it by booking yourself and your ward some seats at a special luncheon hosted by the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce in honor of the annual esteem-boosting event. The luncheon, from 11:30 to 1 at the Best Western Landmark Inn Hotel, 455 S. Colorado Blvd., is designed to encourage participation by all attendees and will feature young speakers, members of the Colorado Xplosion pro basketball team, entertainment and souvenirs. Admission is $15; call 235-2766 for reservations.
April 25
An open book: Discovering the joys of reading will be a family affair at the Rocky Mountain Children's Book Festival, taking place today and tomorrow at Currigan Exhibition Hall, 1324 Champa St. Sponsored by the Colorado Center for the Book, the fest works on several levels, addressing educators, parents and children alike. You'll find an extensive array of children's authors, costumed characters, storytellers and other performers, local celebrities and activities galore from 9 to 6 each day--all absolutely free. For more information, call 839-8320.
Dueling bazoukis: What's an akshambela? In the southern Balkans, it means "evening rowdiness"--and what better word to describe the spirited music made by a group called Akshambela? Performing on a variety of instruments, from bazouki to tapan (a two-sided drum native to the region), and featuring member Ruth Hunter's breathtaking vocals, the trio plays mysterious and danceable melodies from regions of Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania. They'll perform tonight at 8 at Cameron Church, 1600 S. Pearl St.; for tickets, $10 to $12, call 733-1120 or 442-3117.
April 26
Stand-up guy: Believe it or not, there's more to comedian Bill Maher's world than Politically Incorrect. Not that there's anything wrong with the underground talk-show hit--as host to one disparate chat gang after another, Maher is sharp-tongued, quick-thinking and on the money when it counts most (not to mention strangely gracious, even when ideological chaos encroaches). But when he's away from the P.I. set, Maher likes to kick back and maybe even forget about the issues. Instead, he concentrates on just being funny, and it works. Maher delivers his refreshing stand-up routine--live and by himself--tonight at 8:30 at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Pl. Admission ranges from $21 to $35; call 830-TIXS.
Heaven is in your mind: English fingerstyle and slide guitarist Martin Simpson could easily transport an audience directly to cloud nine. He's simply one of the best acoustic pickers in the world, blending blues and British musical traditions into a lovely, lyrical brew. But throw Simpson together with his Band of Angels--in this case, a multi-instrumental bunch that includes his songwriting wife, Jessica Ruby Simpson--and you'll swear you've heard Gabriel himself at the pearly gates. Look skyward: The heavenly combo performs tonight at the Oriental Theater, 4335 W. 44th Ave., as guests of the Swallow Hill Music Association; local favorite Washboard Chaz opens the show at 8. Tickets are $12 ($10 Swallow Hill members); call 1-800-444-SEAT.
Litter-perfect: Garbage, garbage everywhere...so what are you going to do about it? The annual Glad Bag-A-Thon, a nationwide community clean-up program held every spring, makes it easy to lend a hand: Today from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., folks will gather to clean up parks, neighborhoods, public areas and school grounds around town during a local event sponsored by Keep Denver Beautiful. To volunteer, call 640-2900.
April 27
Run, don't walk: In reality, you can take your pick at the Cherry Creek Sneak, one of the largest annual run/walk events in Colorado. There's a category for everyone participating in this popular tourney, from a five-mile course for competitive runners to an easy-on-the-dogs half-mile event for children ten and under; just about anything and everything--right down to wheelchairs and baby strollers--falls in between. Advance entry fees are $20 for adults ($28 on race day) and $13 for children ten and under or seniors sixty and older; proceeds benefit the Children's Museum of Denver. For details, call 394-RACE.
Wheels of fortune: Truly an endangered species, Tibetan Sacred Art and Books are beautiful, detailed and spiritually charged works well worth saving from systematic destruction by the Chinese government that banned them. Luckily, a cache of Tibetan treasures, including hand-lettered books and delicately illustrated mandalas and banners, has been smuggled out of Tibet by Buddhist refugees. Collected and preserved in this country by Dharma Publishing of Berkeley, California, a selection of the rescued works goes on display today in the seventh-floor Vida Ellison Gallery of Denver's Central Library, 10 W. 14th Ave. Pkwy. View the artifacts during regular library hours through June 6.

Eye on the world: Kids love to be right in the thick of things, even--or especially--when the "things" happen to include visions of ooey, gooey, steaming magma, mudpots and geysers. This year's JASON Project VIII: Journey From the Center of the Earth cables live, interactive video footage from research locations in geothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park and Iceland to special sites around the world. And who's watching? You got it: a bunch of sludge-loving kids fascinated by the wonders of natural science. JASON broadcasts will be aired through May 9 at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. daily except Sunday at the Denver Museum of Natural History, 2001 Colorado Blvd.; young armchair explorers can also access the JASON Project Homepage, featuring graphics, video, sound clips and educational exercises at http://www.jasonproject.org. Admission to JASON only is $3 to $4; those wishing to visit other museum exhibits must also pay the regular general admission fee. Call 322-7009.
April 29
The great American novel: One of our finer fiction writers, Robert Boswell, scores another victory for the American novel with his latest, American Owned Love. The 1996 Evil Companions Literary Award winner reads from the new book, which, like his previous works, focuses on modern interpersonal dynamics, tonight at 7:30 at the Tattered Cover Book Store, 2955 E. 1st Ave.; call 322-7727.
April 30
Dream on: The many films of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa swing widely between grand historical epics in the Seven Samurai mold and sensitive social dramas such as Ikuru and Dodes'ka-den. They all share qualities lent by Kurosawa's artful and personal vision, but one film, Dreams, made by the eighty-year-old cinema legend in 1990, displays those characteristics in their purest form. A loose collection of eight visionary and vividly painted stories, Dreams has been called Kurosawa's most intimate and autobiographical work. A small yet culminating offering by a great master, the film screens tonight at 7 and 9:15 in CU-Boulder's Muenzinger Auditorium as part of the school's ongoing International Film Series. Admission is $3.50 ($3 for CU students with ID); call 492-1531 for information.

Our Anvil Small-Block Meets the Bumpstick of Death
Last time you saw the Anvil, it was all dressed in EFI, respectable like. Now it's returning to glorious low-tech with a classic case of cam-and-intake shape-shifting of the power curve.
Back in the Nov. '02 issue, we set up our Anvil small-block with Holley's Wild Street combination of cam, heads, and intake and made 460 hp. A few called us wimps, so here's the answer: World Products' Motown 220 heads, a huge Lunati solid-lifter cam, Holley's Strip Dominator single-plane intake, and an 830-cfm Holley double-pumper (not shown in the photo above), delivering 528 hp at 6,700 and 458 lb-ft at 5,100.
It's just like a car mag to preach big power numbers as the sole solution to all your life's woes, but there's good news and bad news here. Good: This thing would run 11s in the right car, and it would be easy to cheaply duplicate on the 350 small-block of your choice thanks to iron heads and a miserly flat-tappet cam. No rocket science. Bad: You'll need a light car, a 4,500-stall converter, and some steep cogs to make this engine anything less than a dog.
It's not a bad combo–you just need to know what you're in for if you build anything similar: Check out the Anvil Power Comparo sidebar, and you'll see that the smaller-cammed Wild Street setup (Combo 1) made significantly more horsepower and torque at every rpm point below 4,700 as compared to the bigger cam, heads, and intake (Combo 2). We've often said that bigger cams don't really make less torque, they just peak at a higher rpm and, in many cases, actually make more torque throughout the curve than smaller cams. Untrue in this case, where we threw in an extra 21/27 degrees of camshaft duration at 0.050 tappet lift. Perhaps the problem was the intake runner size. World Products doesn't recommend these heads for engines below 383 ci, but we thought we could pull it off thanks to the rpm range with the Lunati 256/268-at-0.050 solid cam. As it turned out, the runner size probably contributed to a poor bottom half of the torque curve on our low-compression 359-incher. Our bad.
See the sidebars for the details. Then come back next month, when we cave in to the full-race nature of the newly cammed beast and make truly huge power with no apologies. Just a hole in the hood, if you catch our drift.

i had my rhinoplasty a couple of weeks using silicone implant since it was strongly recommended by my surgeon, after 5 days i just woke up having a swollen eyes and cheek. i notify my doctor and prescribed strong antibiotic. the response was good but he recommends for the removal of the implant and be put back after a month. now im hesitant to use silicon again plus the fact that i felt the hard feeling inside my nose. will it be better to use gore tex instead of silicon for a more natural feel?
Between Silicone and Gore Tex Which Will Be Better?
Doctor Answers 7
Implants do not belong in the nose. Neither Silicone nor Gore Tex are infection proof. Natural cartilage like rib cartilage is safer. Find a surgeon who does the rhinoplasty the right way and not the quick way.

Between Silicone and Gore Tex Which Will Be Better?
IMHO, Gore Tex carries an even greater risk of becoming infected which is why I quit using this as a grafting material in Rhinoplasty in the late 1990's and only use Silastic straight dorsal implants. They can, but rarely do get infected in my experience. Have this discussion with your Rhinoplasty Surgeon.

Nasal implants: silicone versus goretex
If septal or ear cartilage is not sufficient and rib cartilage is also not chosen, then I think the goretex implant is softer and easier to place with better long term results. My preference though would be to use cartilage whenever possible including rib. Good luck.

Silicone vs Gortex for Nasal Implant
Both Silicone and Gortex are used for nasal augmentation. However I always prefer to use the patients own cartilage to avoid potential complication following the use of these products. Infection, implant movement and implant extrusion are all possible with silicone implants. Gortex is extremely difficult to remove if necessary after placement.
Nasal implants
I think it is usually best to go with more natural products available. The best is your own cartilage. I think after that the irradiated cartilage. I am not a big fan of the alloplasts like silicone or gortex for the very reason that you are having problems
Silicone Implants
I've used custom carved silicone implants for 15 years and I had one patient that got infected and the implant need to be removed. I replaced that implant after 3 months. Silicone and/or gortex can get infected. If the procedure is performed right, the risk of infection is very low. Disadvantage with cartilage is that it is difficult or impossible to get the exact shape and size that is need, especially in ethnic patients. The difference is not the implant that is used, it's the needs of the patient and skill of the surgeon. Make sure your surgeon knows how to work with nasal implants and you'll get great results.

Rhinoplasty with SIlicone or Goretex Implant
It really doesn't matter which type of implant is used, both have a significant risk of infection. And when they get infeccted, whether its a few weeks or a few years after surgery, they have to be removed. See a surgeon experienced in complicated rhinoplasties and get another opinion.

With the team sitting on the top of the world, and all the players performing as if baseball were simply second nature, the Texas Rangers are having what many are calling their best season ever. Things have not been this good in the lone star state in quite some time. They have a fine collection of young whippersnappers that are hell-bent on taking the division playoffs. Vegas odds.
Despite financial issues, the team chugs on. They are showing true spirit – nothing has been able to slow these guys down at all. The Rangers (50-38) are 4 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West.
Rangers veteran, Michael Young, who has played with them for 10 seasons, commented that he has seen it all in his years with the team, and that no matter what happens, they somehow find a way to pull through. The team is in financial distress right now, and at the moment, it is not known how this will affect the players for the rest of the season. Betting lines.
The team moved to Texas in 1972, and has never won a playoff series. The Rangers have had only two winning seasons since their last playoff appearance in 1999. The way they are playing right now, they could be adding a third to their record. All the players are in perfect sync, and the results have been devastating for their opponents. Sports scores.
Texas will have to keep their heads held high during an upcoming auction on August 4th. Hoping for a rich benefactor to intervene, the players seem unaffected on the field. Texas is on pace to win at least 98, and now has coveted All-Star left-hander Cliff Lee in the starting rotation. Above all expectations, they have proven they are truly a great baseball team to be reckoned with.

CORRECTION (Published 2/13/2014)
Published Feb. 5 and Feb. 12 stories about Alameda County's Measure A sales tax incorrectly reported how its funds are divided. Three-quarters of the revenue goes to the Alameda Health System, and a quarter to other hospitals and clinics.
Alameda County is rushing to ask voters to renew in June a health care sales tax that supports the safety net of public hospitals and clinics.
Just four months before the June 3 primary election but five years from the current tax's 2019 expiration, officials are scrambling to get the Measure A half-cent sales tax extended until at least 2034.
"Now we have a track record of what we've done, the services that have been provided, how it's benefited the residents of Alameda County," said Supervisor Nate Miley, who is eager to get the new Measure A campaign moving. "Without that funding, our ability to deliver indigent care in the county would be devastated."
Approved by 71 percent of county voters in 2004, the 15-year revenue stream has helped fortify a public safety net that had been in dire straits before its passage.
Of Measure A's annual revenue of about $100 million, 75 percent automatically goes to the Alameda Health System, a public health authority that runs Highland Hospital in Oakland; Fairmont Hospital, San Leandro Hospital and John George Psychiatric Hospital, all in San Leandro; and satellite clinics. The district, formerly known as the Alameda County Medical Center, is also expanding to take over Alameda Hospital.
The remaining quarter is allocated by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to fund an array of primary care, public health and mental health services designed to help "indigent, low-income and uninsured adults, children and families, seniors and other residents of Alameda County." About $3 million supports local hospitals outside of the Alameda Health System, such as the nonprofit Children's Hospital Oakland and St. Rose Hospital in Hayward.
A larger sum, about $5.5 million, funds a network of community-based medical clinics that stretches from Berkeley to the Tri-Valley region and Fremont. Other revenue has paid for health care at public schools and at Santa Rita Jail.
Although the launch of President Barack Obama's federal health care law is relieving some East Bay medical providers by increasing the number of insured, including those who qualify for free or low-cost Medi-Cal and Medicare, it is also causing the state to take away millions of dollars it had previously awarded the county to help cover the uninsured.
Part of the discrepancy is that Alameda County has pledged to keep caring for a population excluded from the federal health insurance exchange: undocumented immigrants.
Two chief reasons are driving officials to push for a June renewal measure. One is that if it fails, there is still plenty of time to try again — most likely in 2016.
"They want a couple of chances to pass it, if it doesn't pass the first time," said Kay Eisenhower, former chairwoman of the oversight committee that reviews how Measure A money is spent.
The other reason is that the November general election is getting crowded and could include a competing sales tax measure to fund transportation projects in Alameda County. The retail tax is already 9 cents for every dollar of taxable goods in most Alameda County cities.
The November 2014 election will be the second try for the Alameda County Transportation Commission, which sought to double a half-cent sales tax for transportation to a full cent during the 2012 presidential election. The measure lost by a fraction of a percentage.
Both tax measures would require two-thirds approval.
A task force that met at the Castro Valley Library last week voted to recommend that the health measure — which would extend but not raise the half-cent tax — go to voters in June. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors is expected to vote next week to approve a June ballot measure.
A telephone poll taken last year showed 70 percent of likely Alameda County voters expressed support for renewing Measure A, and another 6 percent were leaning toward support, though many voters said they did not know much about the tax and could be persuaded to vote for or against it.
"Support for Measure A renewal exists, but passage will require a vigorous and well-funded campaign," said a report by Oakland-based polling firm EMC Research. "Public debate and controversy about Measure A will negatively affect public support."
Some who were worried that June was too soon say they have changed their minds.
"We're planning on running a full campaign," said union health policy consultant Bradley Cleveland, who was also involved in the 2004 campaign. "I assume it's going to be easier than 10 years ago, when we first ran the measure. Now there's really 10 years of history showing the kind of services this measure has supported and its importance."

Script: Haden Blackman
Art: Agustin Alessio
Lettering: Michael Heisler
Cover Art: Dave Wilkins
Variant Cover Art: Tsueo Sanda
The Clone Wars are over and the traitorous Jedi have been hunted down. Now it is a time for the people of Coruscant to celebrate the first graduating class of Imperial Officers.
Among these many graduating recruits is the new Lieutenant, Laurita Tohm of the Raithal Academy. He is ready to live, serve and die for this new Empire. Even as a brand new recruit, Lt. Tohm is making a name for himself; being chosen for a new project headed up by Grand Moff Tarkin.
However, things are in motion around him and he might not live to see the morning. Before the night is over, he will get his first taste of action and find out first hand why Darth Vader is so feared and respected.
I really enjoyed this issue. Haden Blackman's writing is top notch here. Agustin Alessio's art does a good job of setting this book apart from the others on the shelf, but still feeling like Star Wars. They have crafted a story of an idealistic cadet being tested on his first day, not only by his own physical limitations, but by his bonds of friendship and his sense of duty and honor.

Boateng wins FA appeal after Spurs row
George Boateng has had his appeal against a four-match ban for his sending off at Tottenham upheld by the Football Association.
The Middlesbrough captain was red carded after a scuffle broke out between the sides four minutes from the end of Spurs' 2-1 win at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night.
Boro successfully argued wrongful dismissal and Boateng will now be available for Saturday's Barclays Premiership game against Wigan.
The 31-year-old was facing a four rather than three-match ban, because he had already been sent off this season.
Didier Zokora was also dismissed for the home side, but Spurs decided not to appeal against the Ivory Coast midfielder's red card.
Meanwhile, Boro have confirmed they will deny a separate charge that their players failed to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion during the same incident.

CSU grad eyes starting slot in Brewers mound rotation
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) - It's amazing the difference a year makes.
Last year, Tyler Thornburg was getting in his offseason bullpen sessions at Charleston Southern as a Milwaukee Brewers prospect. This year, he's throwing in Charleston Southern's bullpen as a Milwaukee Brewer.
He hopes to come back even more established next year.
"I'd like to go to camp and win a starting job. Hopefully that is going to happen," said Thornburg.
If nothing else, Thornburg will go back to Milwaukee Brewers camp with a different mental approach.
"Going into last year, I didn't know what to expect. All of them were guys that I'd never met before -- Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez. Going into this year, I think I'll be a bit more comfortable," he said.
Thornburg does look back at the day he met those guys in a major league clubhouse like it was yesterday.
"See it in the movies, all of the corny stuff but yes, hopping on a plane you start to think of everything you've done to get there, all of the hard work you spent to get to that point," he said.
Thornburg's debut was a bit rocky. After a solid start, he gave up several home runs to the Toronto Blue Jays and took the loss. Thornburg says the guys in the clubhouse couldn't have been better about it.
"In front of cameras they are all professionals. They have been around a while and know exactly what to do. When the media is out of the clubhouse, they're just guys -- regular dudes -- they are a joy to be around," he said.
Thornburg is now one of the guys in a big league clubhouse, just like he's one of the guys at Charleston Southern.
"It's the program that pole vaulted me to where I am now. Even now, I need a catcher to get ready for spring training. They are so accommodating to me with whatever I need. Coming from a program like this, it makes it all more special," he said.
Thornburg says one of the highlights of his stay in the big leagues was playing the New York Mets and actually introducing himself to another CSU Buccaneer -- Bobby Parnell.
Who knows what kind of memories Thornburg will bring back to Charleston Southern next offseason.

Food pantries need holiday help
Tue, 27 Nov 2012 23:18:38 GMT —
Local food pantries are seeing many more families that need help to put food on their table.
Benzie Area Christian Neighbors in Benzonia allow families to come into the facility to shop for the things that they need, rather than handing them a box of pre-packaged goods.
"During the holidays we see surges of need and so we really appreciate angels dropping in on us and helping us out with restocking these shelves," said David Abeel, the Director of Development for BACN.
In the Traverse City Area, Goodwill Inn tells 7&4 News they have seen a 60 percent increase in food needs compared to last year. They are also finding it difficult to keep the shelves stocked.
"If people have a little something extra in their cupboard that they could share, we really don't want to see an child, family or senior go hungry," Ruth Blick of Goodwill Industries said.
Beside the holidays, the rise in food assistance could be blamed on the job industry.
BACN, the Goodwill Inn and other food pantries are always accepting donations for food as well as volunteers to work.
