Junior Kaelyn Pizarro, an aggressive, quick conquistador on the forward line for Chestnut Hill College, was relentless in her assaults on the Bloomfield College defense during last Saturday's conference soccer match at Victory Field.
Pizarro provided the first and last goals in the Griffins' 3-0 victory, and harried the doomed Deacons much of the time in between as CHC raised its record to 4-2 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, and 4-6 overall.
Carly DiGiovanni, another prolific scorer and Pizarro's classmate, netted the first of Chestnut Hill's two second-half goals, and senior keeper Jessica Veazey made seven saves in the cage for the Griffins, who were coming off of Tuesday's unsettling loss to another conference team from New Jersey, Georgian Court. There, the Griffins were sent down to a 4-3 defeat by a corner kick conversion with just 12 seconds left to play, after rallying from an 0-2 shortfall earlier in the contest.
"We had such a crazy game at Georgian Court that it was good to bounce back with a win today, and of course conference wins are huge," commented second-year CHC coach Sandy Dickson. "We've been working on switching the point of attack, which I think we did wonderfully in the first half. Another good thing is that a lot of kids have been getting minutes, and that's very important in terms of getting through the season and peaking at the right time."
After receiving a pass from DiGiovanni in the middle of the box, Pizarro punched the ball into the left side of the Deacons' den for Saturday's first marker, which came with a little over 13 minutes elapsed. Bloomfield made some gestures on offense and took the ball through the midfield a number of times, but above the 18-yard line the visitors kept running into an unyielding wall of CHC defenders. In addition to the usual stalwarts like juniors Brittany Boles and Lauren Nolte, other Griffins have stepped up to counter the attacks of opponents.
Dickson pointed out, "Katie Williams [a sophomore], whom we've moved up into the midfield these past two games, does a great job of winning balls in the air and has a good presence in there. Also, Shannon Catts [a senior back who had been coping with injuries] has finally gotten back to where she can play a lot, so she's another strong player in that central area."
Passing the ball well to each other's feet, the hosts continued to generate a good deal of offense, as well. Pizarro pestered the visitors constantly, and joining in to launch some threatening shots were junior Marykate McShane and freshman Danielle Spinuzza.
The tally was still 1-0 at halftime though, and the Deacons put some pressure on the CHC cage as the second period got underway. On one ball served towards the right post Bloomfield's Stacey Jones, an Australian import, was just a step short of knocking in the tying goal.
However, it wasn't long before the Griffins regained their previous form and were back to firing on the Deacons' depository. With 26:03 remaining, DiGiovanni scored from in front of the cage after senior Alyssa Radetich centered the ball from out along the right endline.
Earlier in this offensive sequence, DiGiovanni was chasing down a through pass across the 18 when she collided with the advancing Deacons goalie, Jaclyn Kosh. The Chestnut Hill junior got back up to achieve her objective, but Kosh remained on the turf and eventually retired from the contest. Although each side bellowed for a penalty on the other, the refs didn't acknowledge anything except the goal, dealing with the injury after the clock stopped on the marker by DiGiovanni.
Soon after that, the Griffins appeared to score again, but were called offsides. Eventually, a third CHC goal was added by a fast-breaking Pizarro with 9:34 to go.
While the visitors were unable to put steady pressure on the CHC defense, there were isolated moments when Bloomfield fired some potent shots at CHC's Veazey, who responded well.
Dickson remarked, "A lot of our practice yesterday was geared towards getting our keepers a lot of repetitions coming off their lines. Today [Veazey] showed good decision making – when to come out, and come out with some speed."
The Griffins would like to collect a non-conference win at some juncture, but right now a 4-2 CACC record halfway through their tough conference schedule can serve as a source of encouragement.

Superintendent Meets With Congress on Education
(Phoenix, Ariz., March 27, 2017) – Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas met with members of Arizona's congressional delegation, as well as national education leaders in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, at the Council of Chief State School Officers legislative conference last week in Washington, D.C.
Superintendent Douglas first met with U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-Va.), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, to talk about the federal government's role in education and express her support for Foxx's efforts to ensure that its influence is limited. The Superintendent then attended meetings in the offices of representatives and senators from her home state, including Reps. Andy Biggs, Trent Franks, Paul Gosar, Tom O'Halleran, David Schweikert, as well as with Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake.
Rep. O'Halleran and his staff expressed interest in supporting rural schools and advocating for impact aid to schools on Indian reservations, while learning from the Superintendent that the Zip Code Project and Arizona Broadband for Education Initiative would both prove beneficial for his district. Representative Schweikert's office was also eager to hear about the broadband initiative, joining Representative Franks' office in its request for more support for Indian education.
Rep. Biggs shared his proposal to create additional flexibility for federal Title I funds and asked for additional details about the Common Core replacement that took place in December. His office was also interested in the submission of Arizona's Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan and the ongoing need for support of Native American students.
Rep. Gosar was excited to hear about the impact that broadband connectivity could have on his district, while also discussing how to better support the Office of Indian Education, the Zip Code Project and pilot programs to promote college and career readiness.
"It is always an honor to meet with elected representatives and senators that are doing their part to ensure that Arizona is the best state in the nation," Superintendent Douglas said. "After our meetings, I am confident that they will support our great state in addressing the needs of all of our students."

Franco Berardi was a key member of the Italian Autonomist movement, alongside the likes of other authors such as Antonio Negri, Christian Marazzi, Mario Tronti and Paulo Virno, and was a close associate of Felix Guattari, the French philosopher. Berardi's work has only recent been translated from Italian into English, and Soul at Work was published in 2009 as part of the semiotext(e) foreign agents series.
The central themes of the Soul at Work are that the human faculties which in previous eras would have been considered to be constitutive of the soul, our capacities for language, creativity, emotion, empathy and affect, have now become central to the economy of digital capitalism (Berardi's term is Semiocapitalism)
Putting the soul to work: this is the new form of alienation. Our desiring energy is trapped in the trick of self-enterprise, our libidinal investments are regulated according to economic rules, our attention is captures in the precariousness of virtual networks: every fragment of mental activity must be transformed into capital. (p24)
This is contrasted with the situation under industrial capitalism, wherein the labour of the working class was largely confined to an eight-hour day in a factory, where for a portion of the day their bodies functioned as cogs rented to maintain the production of gigantic machines. While their bodies laboured their minds or souls were still perceived as free. But as economic production became increasingly based up intellectual rather than physical labour, Berardi argues that a fundamental change has occurred, which requires a reconceptualization of the political field.
Once digital technologies made possible the connection of individual fragments of cognitive labor possible, the parceled intellectual labor was subjected to the value production cycle. The ideological and political forms of the left wing, legacy of the 20th Century, have become inefficient in theis new context. (p29)
After tracing a pathway through some of the Workerist ideas of the 1960's, and particularly the role of alienation labor within this context, Berardi moves on to analysis of how the
decisive transformation of the 1980's was the systematic computerization of the working process. Thanks to digitalization, every concrete event can not only be symbolised, but also simulated, replaced by information. Consequently it becomes possible to progressively reduce the entire production process to the elaboration and exchange of information. (p95)
And how this change to the system of production and consumption accumulates as an ever-increasing torrent of information which he argues is conducive to conditions of mass panic (in the sense that the word stems from the etymological root pan – or everything) and depression.
If in modern society the vastly prevalent pathology was repression induced neurosis, today the most widely spread pathologies assume a psychotic, panic driven character. The hyper-stimulation of attention reduces the capacity for critical sequential interpretation, but also the time available for the emotional elaboration of the other, of his or her body and voice, tries to be understood without ever succeeding. (p183)
Searching for ways to approach these changes in social context, Berardi draws on Deleuze and Guattari's work in arguing that
Ethical conciousness cannot be founded on the binomial of Reason and Will – as during the modern period. The roots of rationalism have been forever erased, and rationalism cannot be the major direction of the planetary humanism we must conceive.
Today the ethical question is posed as a question of the soul, that is to say of the sensibility animating the body, making it capable of opening sympathetically towards the other…A new conceptualization of humanism must be founded on an aesthetic paradigm, since it has to take root in sensibility. The collapse of modern ethics needs to be interpreted as a generalized cognitive disturbance, as the paralysis of empathy in the social psychosphere. (p133).
It is interesting to contrast and compare Berardi's vision of a revised humanism here with the various schemas of posthumanism proposed by the likes of Katherine Hayles, Donna Harraway and Robert Pepperell. The logic of basing ethics on feeling and connectivity with other(s) certainly has resonance between these authors despite their respective stances on whether humanism is a project in need of reconceptualization or a patriarchal, bourgeois, historical phenomenon which has led to the epistemological errors and artificial separation of nature and culture, humans and other living creatures and body and soul – many of the problems which Berardi examines.
Beradi goes to to present an interesting analysis of Baudrillard's work around simulation, and contrasts this with the desire-based radical analyses of Deleuze and Guattari. Berardi argues that
The semiotic acceleration and the proliferation of simulacra within the mediatized experience of society produce an effect of exhaustion in the collective libidinal energy, opening the way to a panic-depressive cycle… Baudrillard sees simulation as the infinite replication of a virus that absorbs energy to the point of exhaustion. A sort of semiotic inflation explodes in the circuits of our collective sensibility, producing effects of mutation that run a pathological course: too many signs, too fast and too chaotic. The sensible body is subjected to an acceleration that destroys every possibility of conscious decodification and sensible perception. (158/159)
The problem, according to Beradi, is that the explosion of information leads to a paralysis and subsequent depression as the pace and scale of information flows expands far beyond what the human brain is capable of processing. The field of desire, which for Deleuze and Guattari possesses liberating potential, collapses in on itself and is confined to desiring the ever-increasing number of consumer fetishes that permeate upgrade culture. This leads to a contemporary scenario Beradi describes as the poisoning of the soul, as desire no longer reaches out for connectivity with the other, but instead is restricted to focusing on the self and personal accumulation. Looking for potential ways out of this situation, Beradi contends that
Perhaps the answer is that it is necessary to slow down, finally giving up on economistic fanaticism and collectively rethink the true meaning of the word "wealth." Wealth does not mean a person who owns a lot, but refers to someone who has enough time to enjoy what nature and human collaboration place within everyone's reach. If the great majority of people could understand this basic notion, if they could be liberated from the competitive illusion that is impoverishing everyone's life, the very foundations of capitalism, would start to crumble. (p169)

Dual Battery setups Pros and Cons
Trying to wrap my head around the dual battery setups used and the pros and cons.
1. BEP Supported Option: http://www.bepmarine.com/Single-Engi...-180-1460.html Includes Voltage Sensitive Relay and 4 Position Battery Switch(1, 2, Both, and Off) All load is wired to the COM terminal on the Switch which I think means all load and charging is passed to the sensed battery at all times. When the volts get high enough on the sense battery the relay is closed and charging is passed to both batteries.
The switch in this option appears to have 2 purposes:
A: Change the sensed battery which means the load and charging goes to that battery selected first and once volts are above the set limit then both batteries.
B: In the event that you run down the sensed battery while sitting(not charging the batteries due to engine running) you can turn the switch to the other battery or the both setting and start the engine(the new battery is the sensed battery the VSR will not charge the other battery until volts reach the level set on the relay)
2. Factory Option: Same device as the first but load is split between batteries (example: starter and engine on first battery and stereo and accessories placed on 2nd battery) and only the charging is connected to the COM terminal of the VSR. So in this option the Switch and VSR operate the same but the difference is the load does not move based upon the switch setting of 1 or 2. If you run down your second battery using the stereo and accessories while the engine is off then there is no need to turn the switch setting, just start the engine and Once running the VSR will run and once volts are high enough charge the stereo/accessories battery.
3. Another Option: http://bluesea.com/category/2/productline/overview/329 Includes Automatic Charging Relay and 3 Position Switch (Off, On, Combined) In this setup you would place starting load and charging on the Starting Battery and Stereo or Accessory load on the 2nd battery. ACR monitors the starting battery similar to the VSR and allows charging to the 2nd battery when the starting battery reaches a certain voltage threshold.
The switch in this case operates in the on position and send both respective loads only to the respective battery. When in the combined position both batteries are fully combined for emergency start or other purposes.
Considering these options that I have seen I would like some feedback as to the pros and cons of them.
Also, I wonder in option 1 and 3 what are the pros to using the switch in either set up(briefly is appears the ability to combine both batteries for emergency use without moving cables for both and for 1 it appears you could change the sense battery but I think the VSR would sense both batteries without the switch due to the Dual Sense feature (see more here: http://www.bepmarine.com/store/web/C...-125A_Inst.pdf).

I use the Blue Sea Systems 7650 ACR/switch and wouldn't have anything else, especially since i can combine in an instant if necessary. Imo any setup that requires manually switching between batts or moving cables is a con.2007 Mobius LSV
Remember, you need to keep relays and switches away from confined areas where hydrogen gas or gas fumes can accumilate unless the relay or switch is designed for a hazardous environment due to the spark potential.1998 Mobius
I have option 2, with it set to 1 as this is my starting battery, so it is the sensed battery and kept charged full. I have to look if i have the dual sense as i feel the house battery will need additional charging as it will most likely be at a constant higher discharged state due to stereo usage while sitting. this will then lead to a shorter life span of the house battery unless externally on a regular basis
As i understand it the vsr allows the sensed Motor battery to be charged first, then the 2 house battery will only be charged once the 1st sensed battery is fully charged......this is assuming your battery switch is at 1 setting, if it is at 2 setting the sensed battery is disconnected and all charging goes to 2. If in the 1+2 position then the batteries are placed in parallel and both batteries will be charged but both are connected and the stereo will now drain both batteries.
If you have the single sense vsr can you still additionally charge your house battery externally ...just there will be no charging of the motor battery thru the vsr? if you have the dual sense then when you add'ly charge your house battery the sensed battery will be charged as well , but will the vsr prevent over charging of the sensed battery if the house battery is very low and the charger is at a high charge rate?
I just went to the bep marine site and its faq answered all my questions,

Got it. Thanks for the replies!
I was wondering about the switches in all setups. Do they do more than combine both batteries in an emergency?
Also the stereo and accessory load being split to the second battery any cons to that? Must be some reason they don't do that as the factory supported option?
The switches are for the batts only and only engage the batts. the proper way to do it is start load on batt 1 and stereo/acc on batt2, that way you don't drain your starting battery playing tunes.2007 Mobius LSV
First, I don't think there are any cons to a dual battery setup. My boat didn't come with one from the factory, so I added one. I went with option 3 (the blue sea add-a-battery system). I think it is great. I have one marine starting battery powering all the engine stuff, and I have a second marine deep cycle "house" battery to run just the stereo. This system also does not need to be switched back and forth, you just turn it to on and go. The relay handles the load distribution and the charging. So i just turn it on and forget it too. I use turnthe switch off every time we get done using the boat just as a precaution I guess. I am also sure that the stereo is totally off and not drawing juice while the boat is sitting. The only bummer is the memory, but I just need to swap the memory power wire and run it straight to the battery.
I actually looked in the manuals, where is this factory supported option 1. In all manuals back to 2006 the hook up is as in option 2.

My friend has Windows XP Home Edition, and for some reason she cannot locate her audio drivers and therefore has no sound. She has intel graphic display drivers as far as i know intel does not make any sound drivers at all. She was unable to determine the audio driver information by using her system information tool. Any suggestions ?
She told me that she used to have sound, but no longer does, and removing the sound device from her hardware device manager does not seem possible as there is none to remove.
She needs to:
1.) Identify her Sound Card.
2.) find the audio drivers online to download.

A Toronto Row House Stands Out Amongst the Rest
Twelve Tacoma is a newly renovated row house in Toronto's Summerhill neighborhood situated amongst a sea of 19th century workers' row houses. Designed by Aleph-Bau, the project maintains the integrity of the historic facade, while refreshing it so it stands out next to the rest. The brick is painted a bright white and it's paired with corrugated aluminum cladding for a bold look.
An open metal staircase doesn't overtake the narrow footprint and instead becomes a sculptural element in the design.
In the basement, there's a living room that's slightly sunken and features a concrete bench.
The back of the house is much more open to the outdoors than the front, allowing sunlight to flood the space.
An upstairs bathroom houses a wall of plants right over the bathtub, which is just off the 2nd floor balcony.
From the street, you can barely see the top level clad in aluminum as it mostly overhangs in the back of the house.

Toorak records Australia's highest income
People living in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak recorded the highest average income in Australia in 2009-10, according to data released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
ABS Director of the Rural and Regional National Statistics Centre, Lisa Conolly said the Estimates of Personal Income for Small Areas publication uses data from the Australian Taxation Office to provide a breakdown of information such as personal income by wage and salary, investment, superannuation and annuities.
"Victoria's top five earning regions are in Melbourne with Toorak leading the way on $132,252, followed by Brighton on $101,776, East Melbourne on $95,349, Albert Park on $91,871 and Armadale on $89,534 per annum.
"Outside of Melbourne, the highest average total incomes are in the Geelong area of Newtown on $56,512 and Woodend in the Macedon Ranges with $50,960.
"Overall, the average total income for the state of Victoria is $47,623 which is lower than the national average of $48,530.
"Almost 29 per cent (or 121 in number) of Victoria's regions recorded average total incomes above the state level. Of this group, only 4 per cent per cent were located outside the greater Melbourne region.
"Other regions with high average total incomes were Torquay on $48,553, Geelong on $48,528 and Traralgon on $48,344.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — has dominated the political conversation for the last five years since the legislation was introduced in 2009. Now, at long last, key parts of it are here, but for how long may depend on factors outside either political party's control.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — has dominated the political conversation for the last five years since the legislation was introduced in 2009. Now, at long last, key parts of it are here, but for how long may depend on factors outside either political party's control.
Obamacare has many complicated moving parts. Even an attorney specializing in health care legislation would have trouble dissecting all of them. One component involves health care exchanges that just went live.
The exchanges vary slightly from state to state, depending on whether the federal government or state government is in charge. Arkansas chose a hybrid approach with a federal and state partnership. In addition, the state's exchanges are unique because the Arkansas Private Option Plan uses federal Medicaid expansion dollars to subsidize the purchase of insurance through the exchange rather than a traditional Medicaid expansion program.
The weeds get thick quickly on the details but basically the exchanges are open for individuals who do not have qualifying health insurance offered by their employer. The word qualifying is important since an employer must not only offer health insurance, but the benefits must be structured to include at least the minimum standards required by Obamacare and the cost to employees must not be over a certain percentage of their pay.
The debate over Obamacare remains hot in Washington. The Republican-controlled House is ready to scrap the whole law, but the Democratic-controlled Senate supports it. What's left is gridlock.
Despite the rhetoric, the debate in Washington will not decide the fate of the program. It will come down whether or not the program works. That will depend on added costs compared to new benefits.
When the law was passed, the president famously promised that Americans who like their health insurance can keep it. While technically true, the question is whether or not they can afford it.
Nothing is free. Added benefits required to be a part of employer-offered health care insurance will have a cost impact in the form of increased premiums. The increase is borne either by the employer or the employee. Either way, someone is paying. The notion that greedy insurance companies could give up huge evil profits is not based in reality.
The other group that will feel the impact is healthy individuals that for whatever reason purchase insurance on their own. The new individual mandate requires everyone to have qualifying health insurance or pay a penalty.
Again, the key word is qualifying. One of the many new requirements for qualifying health insurance is the prohibition against denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. The only factors that can now be used are age, location, weight, and smoking status. Because of that, a healthy individual will now pay the same premium as an individual of the same age who has had a multitude of costly health issues.
Some insurance companies are offering health insurance that appears to purposefully not qualify under Obamacare by offering lower premiums for healthy people with no pre-existing conditions. Those plans, however, do not meet the mandate requirements and will rquire policyholders to pay the mandate penalty. In 2014, that is either $95 or 1 percent of an individual's adjusted gross income, whichever is higher. Many are mistakenly focusing on the $95, when in reality the 1 percent penalty will almost always be higher — in some case much higher.
Of course, that is just the tip of a very large complicated iceberg. In the end, it will boil down to whether the American people feel more of the impact of the cost or the benefits.
The system will only work if two things happen
—First, healthy people decide to go on the exchanges instead of going without insurance or buying cheaper non-qualifying policies and paying the penalty. The exchange pool needs healthy people paying premiums to cover those with more expensive health care costs. Otherwise, the math does not work.
— Second, the plan needs employers to offer qualifying health care insurance and their employees to stay on the employer-provided plans. The employer mandates have been delayed a year so it will be interesting to see how that portion plays out. If employers send employees — particularly those who qualify for subsidized coverage — to the new exchanges, then the exchanges likely will not be able to afford the influx.
Politicians in Washington can and will debate Obamacare ad nauseam, but ultimately continuation of the program will depend on whether the implementation is a success or a train wreck.

1. What is the Court's policy regarding people with disabilities?
It is the policy of the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo to ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities have equal and full access to the judicial system. This policy is in accordance with California Rule of Court 1.100.
2. Who are qualified people with disabilities?
Qualified people with disabilities are persons covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the California Unruh Civil Rights Act and other applicable federal or state laws. This includes individuals who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities; have a record of such impairment; or are regarded as having such impairment.
3. How do I request an accommodation?
People can submit their request by filling out a Form MC-410, writing a letter or email, or by making their request verbally to the Court's ADA Coordinator (see "Who can I contact?" below). Most requests for accommodations of an ordinary nature are easily and expeditiously provided. Requests for accommodation should be made as far in advance as possible, and no fewer than 5 court days before the requested implementation date. Note that an accommodation request must be made for each and every court appearance.
Best practice is for requests to be submitted on Judicial Council form MC-410, Request for Accommodations by Person with Disabilities.
4. What accommodations can be made?
The Court will give primary consideration to the person's proposed accommodation. However, the Court may provide an alternative aid or service if the Court determines that it would be an effective, appropriate accommodation. The Court is not required to make accommodations that result in a fundamental alteration of a service, program or activity or is an undue financial and/or administrative burden. The Court will consult with the person requesting the accommodation when the preferred type of auxiliary aid and/or service is not available or not required, to determine an appropriate, alternate accommodation.
5. How will I know if my request has been accepted?
The applicant shall be informed that a request for accommodations is granted or denied, in whole or in part. If the request is granted, the type and nature of the accommodation will be provided.
6. How can I appeal a decision regarding my request for accommodation?
An applicant or any participant in the proceeding in which an accommodation has been denied or granted may seek review of a decision within 10 days of the date of the notice of the decision. Submit your request for review to the judicial officer who will preside over your proceeding or to the Presiding Judge if the matter has not been assigned.

Comparison Of Surfactant Lung Lavage With Standard Care In The Treatment Of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (Sur-Lu-Lav)

|Condition or disease
|Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
|Drug: Bovine surfactant
|Not Applicable
Meconium is an odourless, thick, blackish green material first demonstrable in the foetal intestinal tract during the third month of gestation. Approximately 10-15% of deliveries are complicated by the passage of meconium around the time of delivery. The risk of meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is strongly correlated with gestational age. An adverse intrauterine environment with resultant foetal asphyxia is proposed as the most common explanation for MSAF.
Aspiration of meconium into the tracheo-bronchial tree with the onset of respiration results in meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). MAS is defined as respiratory distress with compatible chest x-ray finding in an infant born through MSAF whose symptoms cannot be otherwise explained. Despite current interventions such as intubation with tracheal suction, it is estimated that 5-20 % of infants born through MSAF develop MAS. It represents a leading cause of perinatal morbidity. Approximately 50% of the infants with MAS require mechanical ventilation; 15%-30% develop pulmonary air leaks and 5%-12% die.
The pathophysiology of meconium aspiration syndrome includes airway obstruction, surfactant inactivation, inflammation and pulmonary hypertension. Meconium itself inactivates the surfactant in the alveoli and its presence also causes secondary surfactant deficiency as meconium is toxic to type 2 alveolar cells which secrete surfactant. There is no specific treatment recommended for meconium aspiration syndrome .Treatment for MAS is generally supportive and includes supplemental oxygen as needed, assisted ventilation to maintain lung volume and improve gas exchange, and circulatory support with volume resuscitation and vasopressor infusions to maintain adequate perfusion. Successful treatment of meconium aspiration relies on effective meconium removal without inactivating or washing out surfactant, followed by appropriate ventilator care.
Surfactant replacement in neonates with severe meconium aspiration syndrome has been shown to improve oxygenation and reduce the severity of respiratory failure, air leaks and need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Surfactant replacement alone does not remove the meconium present in the airways and hence multiple doses may be required. Therefore an effective strategy to improve outcome in neonates with MAS needs to not only remove meconium but also retain the surfactant for adequate lung expansion and function.
Lung lavage using diluted surfactant has recently been shown to be an alternative to bolus therapy in treating MAS. This has advantage of removing surfactant inhibitors from alveolar space, in addition to augmenting surfactant concentration in alveolar space. Initial pilot case series using surfactant lung lavage have shown promise and there is a need to systematically study this in a RCT. The same has also been expressed in the literature on this subject. Hence the purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of surfactant lung lavage over standard therapy in the treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome.

|Actual Study Completion Date :
|April 2012
No Intervention: No Lavage
Neonate randomized to this group will be managed as per the standard protocol in the neonatal ward. The evaluation of respiratory distress will be done using Downe's score at hourly intervals till 24 hrs, followed by 2 hourly intervals till 72 hrs and finally 4 hourly intervals till resolution of clinical distress.
Experimental: Surfactant Lavage
The diluted surfactant is instilled into endotracheal tube over a period of 15 to 20 seconds. Once the instillation is complete, 5 manual breaths will be provided and infant will be repositioned supine. The suction catheter will be inserted and advanced to a position approximately 5mm past the end of endotracheal tube. Suction will be activated for no more than 10 seconds and would be temporarily halted earlier if the oxygen saturation value falls by > 5% of the prelavage value. The same shall be resumed once prelavage oxygen saturation has been restored. The infant's bed will now be moved back to horizontal position. Once the neonate is STABLE, suctioning will be again repeated. The total retrieved volume is measured and recorded.This procedure will be done in both right and left lateral decubitus position
Drug: Bovine surfactant

Win streak!
Even with last night's 6-4 win over the Tigers, the Jays remain eight games back of the Red Sox for the Wild Card, although such considerations are probably way beyond moot at this point. Though they may be able to make up some ground on the BoSox, Yankees and Rays over the next two weeks of head-to-head matchups, the more likely scenario is that they split those series and end up pretty much where they are now.
And don't forget that with his acquisition by the Red Sox, the Jays will have to face the mighty Paul Byrd a few more times before the season is over. Given the fact that he easily disposed of the Jays with a 94-pitch complete game performance on Saturday, the Jays had better hope that they miss him in the rotation and draw punks like Dice-K and Josh Beckett instead.
Cito's lineup madness
It's probably best for everyone if we just forget Cito Gaston's bizarre insistence over the weekend on batting Brad Wilkerson in the second spot in the lineup. Maybe the dusty old book of baseball says that a left-handed hitter should hit second, but Wilkerson's big long wild stroke makes Adam Dunn look like Rod Carew.
Still, we're watching with interest how Cito utilizes Adam Lind. After a great game at the dish on Friday (2-4 with a couple of solid singles), Lind was bumped up to the cleanup spot on Saturday, where he promptly went 0-4. Lind was dropped to the five-hole on Sunday (0-4 again) and down to the seven-hole for the last two games, where he's gone 3-8 with a homer and three RsBI.
It's probably all a load of shite to speculate that any of this means anything, but we'd prefer to see Cito leave Lind lower in the lineup for the time being. We get that it must be tempting to move him up, especially since he is hitting better than anyone else on the roster at this point, but just let him settle in and hopefully see some fastballs with Rios, Wells or Overbay on base ahead of him.
Conspiracy theories? We got one.
A strange notion struck us over the weekend after we saw one too many hard-hit balls by Jays hitters die on the warning track: is there something funny going on with the baseballs in Toronto? We know that Colorado keeps theirs in a humidor or a deep chest freezer or something, but what about at Rogers Centre?
If the Jays pitching staff is mighty like few others (3.66 ERA ties them with the Dodgers for tops in the Majors), and their hitting is lowly like few others (only the Giants have hit fewer homers than the Jays' 81 so far), isn't it reasonable to ask whether if there is something in the environment that is causing the offense to be depressed in Toronto's games?
Somebody get us Oliver Stone on the phone.

re: lineup - I was just fairly excited to see Kevin Mench come in to pinch run for Matty Stairs, with a presumably healthy David Eckstein sitting on the bench. After all, it's not like they would be saving triple-Eckstein for his late-inning defense.
It was our first glimpse at the post-World Series era Cito. Just feels right.
- August 13, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Isn't it more reasonable to just assume that Rios, Overbay, Mench, and Wilkerson were all on juice? Maybe even Rolen too, although any zapped power recently probably came from the injury problems. I have definitely noticed the same thing as you though, especially with Overbay - he's hit quite a few balls off the top half of the wall, and even more that died right at the track. Gets you thinking...

What I noticed most last night was two intentional walks to Matt Stairs (presumably to get the better match-up and keep the double play in order) but both walks bit the Tigers in the ass.
I think I would pitch to Matt Stairs pretty much all the time, but I have to concede that I know a little less about baseball than Jim Leyland.

Fuck the juice.
Not that we want to pretend that it wasn't out there, but this knee jerk lazy cynicism about how every player in the midst of a down season is coming off the juice is such bullshit.
Didn't Alex Rios come into camp bigger and more muscled this year?
Also, if you keep track of the minor leaguers who are getting popped for performance enhancers, it's as likely to be pitchers as hitters...so your theory doesn't explain why the Jays pitchers are doing so well.
- August 13, 2008 at 5:57 PM
I wasn't saying I think those guys were on the juice, just bringing up a possible point of view. Rios was never a real HR hitter he was just getting mistake fastballs down and in to hit - once the pitchers starting throwing him crap away he looked helpless. Overbay's loss of some power is more likely due to a loss of some of the strength in his hand. Rolen's problems are his shoulder. Mench and Wilkerson I have no clue about, but it's certainly possible.
Don't remember the Rios bulking up stories, but so much shit is said in ST who remembers.

Just to fan the conspirital fires, the Homerdome (tripledome?) has gone decidedly in the other direction this season. So it's not just the Jays who are having problems hitting home runs there...I don't think they've changed anything, though. Maybe it's been open more often this summer?

UH Board of Regents approves establishment of Hawaiinuiakea School of Hawaiian Knowledge at UH ManoaUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Office of the Chancellor
KAPOLEI, Oʻahu — At its monthly meeting held this week, the University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents approved the establishment of the Hawai'inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge at the UH Mānoa campus, a merger of the campus' Hawaiian studies and language programs that will create the largest school of indigenous studies in the nation.
"As the sole public university in our state, the University of Hawaiʻi has a special responsibility to perpetuate the history and cultural heritage of Native Hawaiians," said UH Board of Regents Chair Kitty Lagareta. "Because the Regents are entrusted with ensuring that the university meets its responsibilities, we are pleased to approve the establishment of the Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge at UH Mānoa. The school will play a critical role in strengthening opportunities for students and faculty engaged in these areas of study and research, and in fostering the dissemination of Hawaiian knowledge throughout the university, the state and beyond."
The new school will consist of three units reporting to a new dean: Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, which is currently in the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies; Kawaihuelani Hawaiian Language Program, currently in the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literature in the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature; and Ka Papa Loʻi o Kanewai, which is currently located administratively within the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies.
"The creation of the Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge is a major step towards promoting the study of the Hawaiian language and preserving our Islands' host culture," said UH Mānoa Interim Chancellor Denise Konan. "The Hawaiian Studies 107 course already has the largest enrollment on the Mānoa campus. Creation of the School will promote synergy among faculty and students, raise the international visibility of the program, and increase opportunities to acquire outside funding from state, federal and private sources."
Faculty staff and resources currently housed within the three units will be transferred into the new school. The units will continue to offer their courses, degree programs and services. Academic requirements for the existing degree programs — BA in Hawaiian, BA in Hawaiian Studies, MA in Hawaiian, and MA in Hawaiian Studies — will not be changed. The reorganization will be effective on July 1.
With this reorganization, the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies will be renamed to the School of Pacific and Asian Studies, and the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literature will be renamed to the Department of Indo-Pacific Languages and Literature.
