I want to start by saying that I feel like I am a purist, when I BBQ, I use real wood on my Primo XL Grill and I cook low and slow. When I grill on my gas grills, I use all natural ingredients and never use the smoker box. I am fortunate though, I have a big backyard, a deck, a Weber Kettle, two Weber Summit Gas Grills, and two Weber Smokey Joes. For those people that live in big cities without a deck or outdoor cooking space, the indoor Cameron Stovetop Smoker and the crock pot or broiler are all they have! So is using a BBQ method other than a grill or smoker cheating? I would think not.
A friend of mine opened my eyes to the magic of liquid smoke and although I prefer using a grill, I thought that this information could be useful to those people out there who may not know that liquid smoke is one of the best kept secrets out there. My good friend Jill one time told me that she made incredible pulled pork in her crock pot and I of course thought it would be a cheating in the highest form! I recently smoked pork butts for 16 hours and they were fantastic, how can a crock pot replicate that?
Thank you Heff for sending me this post called The Secret of Liquid Smoke that explains the science of liquid smoke and has a recipe for what they call "Ultimate Cheater Pulled Pork". After reading the comments and the reviews on the article, it has opened my mind to the fact that BBQ is what you make it, and whether that is in your oven broiler, steamer or crock pot, you stick with it. Here are some of the Q&A from the article on Liquid Smoke, you can file this under "Bet you didn't know…"
You can be forgiven for wrongfully accusing liquid smoke of nefarious fakey toxic chemicalness. Even chemists have been confused on this one. Back in June, Slashfood interviewed NYU chemistry professorKent Kirshenbaum, who–like you, me, Lynne Rossetto Kasper and everyone we know–had believed the worst about this cheap, sketchy sounding liquid.
Unlike the rest of us, however, Kirshenbaum actually went out and studied liquid smoke. He found that, despite its synthetic 1950's aura, the stuff is perfectly natural.
What is liquid smoke?
Liquid smoke is very simply smoke in water. Smoke usually comes as a vapor, but there are ways to condense it and turn it into liquid and that liquid can then be carried in water.
How is it different from regular smoke?
Regular smoke is a vapor, and it is difficult to store.
Is one healthier than the other?
It seems that the liquid smoke can be substantially healthier because there are carcinogenic compounds that can be removed. A lot of the carcinogenic compounds [found in direct smoke from charcoal or wood] do not dissolve. But by dissolving the compounds into water, they can be removed.
So, it's like a water bong?
So let me know what your "unorthodox" BBQ secrets are and how they worked. My first taste of "sublime" babybacks came from Jackie Shodo, a wonderful woman who used to stay with us when my parents went out of town. She made some fall off the bone ribs using maple syrup, brown sugar and the oven, so who am I to judge?

Some good examples. I agree with your point at the beginning about how tables can be an interesting (if not sometimes frustating!) element to style. What with the different sub-elements you can style, there's many different things that can be done to style tables.
One thing that can make things difficult is the html attributes for padding and spacing – if you don't take those into account when styling tables, your work would be a lot more difficult. I know when I was learning CSS, this plagued me to no end until I realized that I should zero the table's cellpadding and cellspacing attributes to make things easier.

The Police are dead! Long live Circa Zero!
Okay, it's not that dramatic, but Police guitarist Andy Summers - who has a new rock group Circa Zero - can't see the British New Wave veterans touring together again after their hugely successful 2007-08 reunion tour - the seventh highest grossing trek of all time.
"I would think it unlikely at this point because I think we did it," said Summers.
"And I don't think we could ever do a tour as great as that again. I mean we hit at the perfect time, before the long recession set it and all the rest of it, it was perfect timing. I don't think we could do one as big as that again. It would be very hard to pull off."
So, with that in mind, the 71-year-old Summers has come together with L.A. singer Rob Giles to form Circa Zero, whose debut disc, Circus Hero, was released last week. Summers is also readying the Andy Grieve-directed documentary, Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police, for release in July.
"I was kind of thinking about trying to put some kind of a rock band together again, I don't know why, maybe coming off The Police tour kind of inspired me," said Summers, who worked on his own in the studio for a year before hooking up with Giles after seeing him play with his other band, the pop-rock group The Rescues.
"I thought I'd like to work with a singer again. I met Rob and we'd never played together before and he came down and we got together and he sang a couple of songs that I'd been doing with someone else and he just kind of blew it out of the water... To me, he was the guy I was looking for."
We caught up with Summers down the line from his Venice, Calif., studio recently to talk about his next musical chapter and find out what he thought of Sting's latest outing with Paul Simon.
Was Circa Zero always going to be so hard-rocking sound wise?
I think the first dumb thing we said was, 'Okay, let's make a great RAWK album.' We said rawk, not sort of soft alternative, or anything like that, we meant a rock album. And it is a rock album. It's fairly edgy. We're not as heavy as say Pearl Jam or the Foo Fighters or something like that. Obviously we're not metal. It's guitar-driven, edgy, lyrical rock.
I suspect you can't help it given your background, but there a few Police-like songs on Circus Hero?
It's very un-self-conscious. I mean I certainly had no intention, 'Oh, I gotta make it sound like The Police.' No, no, it's just like that's the way I play. There's one or two things in there. There's one track in particular I did do a sort of Police thing, Whenever You Hear the Rain, but that was very intentional. If it comes out occasionally like that, that's the way I play. Generally, I think it's more rock than most of The Police.
What happened to your Circa Zero date/Police documentary screening at South by Southwest in Austin?
It's unbelievable. I don't know what's up with those people it's just, excuse the expression, I think they call it a clusterf--k. Here I've got this great music film coming out and the record with an exciting new band and we thought, 'Man, these people are going to jump on us! We've got an incredible double whammy.' It just seems they're so confused down there and there's the film division and there's the music division, and it seems like neither side speaks to one another... My vision was to go down and do a great concert with the press and nice stage and lighting and I think we got offered a bar on the top of some hotel at midnight. I went, 'No, we're not going to do that.'
Would you consider Canadian Music Week in May or NXNE in June in Toronto?
Well, I don't know, if they ask us. The doors are open. Canada is of definite interest to us. Obviously, to The Police, it was fantastic, always great to go to Canada. It's definitely on the books for us.
What can fans expect from your new Police documentary, Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police?
It was based on my (2006 autobiography), One Train Later, and I originally contacted Brett Morgen, the director who made (the Robert Evans documentary) The Kid Stays in The Picture and I was actually inspired by his film. All made with still photographs. (Summers is also a prolific photographer.)
Is there a reason it's called SURVIVING The Police?
That's not my idea. A much cooler name is the name of the book. It's just purely a film company decision. There's no way I would call it that.
Have you seen your Police bandmate Sting on tour with Paul Simon?
No. I think he passed through L.A. but I wouldn't be interested. What am I going to do? I spent 30 years with this guy! I'm not really interested in seeing him with Paul Simon but it's great. 'Have a good time mate.'

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The drug industry has been experiencing intense activity on the merger front over the past year. The two deals that have grabbed the most headlines, due to their sheer size, have been Pfizer's (PFE) acquisition of Wyeth (WYE), valued at $68 billion, and Merck's (MRK) purchase of Schering-Plough (SGP), worth $41 billion. Meanwhile, a host of smaller mergers, including Teva Pharmaceutical's (TEVA) $7.5 billion buyout of Barr Pharmaceuticals (BRL), and licensing agreements, such as Valeant Pharmaceuticals' (VRX) pact with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), have been completed or are in the works.
One reason for these developments is that a number of blockbuster pharmaceuticals will be losing patent protection in the coming years, which will, undoubtedly, draw the attention of generic drug manufacturers. As a result, companies are looking to boost their product lines with currently available drugs that have longer periods of market exclusivity, and to bolster their pipelines with pharmaceuticals that are in later stages of development.
Mergers also provide the opportunity to achieve substantial reductions in operating expenses. Indeed, savings can be realized through such measures as the consolidation of research and development departments and manufacturing facilities, plus the elimination of redundancies (including administrative and marketing functions).
Rumblings in Washington over healthcare reform may be another factor behind the consolidation trend. The proposal, now under review in the Senate, calls for nearly every American to be covered. It also contains a controversial government-run insurance option that is strongly opposed by the pharmaceutical industry, in general, due to concerns about competition. The outcome remains to be seen, but drug companies appear to be preparing for the worst, with the thinking that a bigger pharmaceutical firm may have more influence when dealing with the government.
Consolidation in the drug industry can be likened to an arms race. Indeed, companies have been forced to consider teaming up with a rival to compete more effectively, or run the risk of being taken over. Of course, there is no guarantee that a merger will meet expectations, but it is a trend that has and will continue to reshape the face of this sector.

OVP benefit proven for any acoustic coupling
When configuring a hearing solution, hearing care professionals must consider many factors when choosing the acoustic coupling; such as appearance, comfort, amplification and sound quality to name a few. The various factors directly influence one another and this is particularly true for sound quality and its effect on audibility. Specifically, modifications to improve own voice quality frequently reduce audibility and consequently hearing performance.
One reason for own voice issues is called the occlusion effect — an increase in loudness (low frequency energy) of the wearer's own voice when the ear canal is blocked by a closed-fit hearing aid. To manage the occlusion effect, hearing care professionals open the venting. However, an open fitting not only allows low frequency energy out but also allows ambient sound in. This reduces hearing performance in noisy environments because external sounds mask the processed sound delivered via the hearing aid.
An ideal solution would be to have the freedom to choose an acoustic coupling for maximum performance without any concern that the wearer experiences an unnatural own voice. In a recent study, OVP™ was proven to increase own voice satisfaction for all acoustic couplings (closed, vented and open tips). Hearing care professionals can now fit with any tip and achieve the same level of acceptance of own voice quality.
Signia Nx with OVP™ provides the hearing care professional with the ability to choose an acoustic coupling that acts as an effective screen against ambient sound that would otherwise mask the cleaned sound from the hearing aid. This is all achieved with high satisfaction with the sound of the own voice.

The Bread Reminds Me
1. The bread reminds me that Jesus died so I will live again.
The water stands for His precious blood that paid the price for sin.
Now ev'ry Sunday I thank my Heavenly Father for all He's done
By taking the sacrament rev'rently
And remembering His Son.
2. I bow my head and I close my eyes and listen to the prayer
And think of how I can change my life to show Him that I care.
I promise I will remember Him and obey Him faithfully.
Today I remember the cov'nant I made,
And the peace He's promised me.

Jones Beach State Park
Quick Facts
Jones Beach State Park
New York
(516) 785-1600Map Directions
Things To Do
World famous Jones Beach State Park, home of 6.5 miles of beautiful white-sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean, is made up of more than 2,400-acres of maritime environment on the south shore of Long Island. Among the 6 to 8 million visitors to the park each year, families enjoy their own piece of the beach for a day, with many returning dozens of times through the summer. Designed on the theme of an ocean liner, Jones Beach offers many activities to those who visit the park. They swim in the ocean, stroll the boardwalk, fish, visit an historic exhibit, get a bite to eat at one of the many concession stands, play miniature golf, pitch-putt golf, shuffleboard and basketball, attend concerts at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater or learn about the marine environment at the Theodore Roosevelt Nature Center. Other activities that take place in the park include pool swimming, sunbathing, bicycling, surfing, and visiting the playgrounds.
*Theodore Roosevelt Nature Center Summer Programs & Events
*2014 Summer Run Series Registration Information
The park's oceanfront setting and natural environment have little development or advertising, creating a refreshing break from the hectic pace of life of Long Island and the metropolitan area. Less than 20 miles from New York City, Jones Beach is a playground for millions of people who live nearby.
The park is host to a number of popular programs, most notably the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach every Memorial Day weekend, concerts at the theater, band shell entertainment, softball and volleyball league tournaments, and nature center programs. The Theodore Roosevelt Nature Center caters to daily visitors and organized groups covering topics from endangered species to maritime habitats.
Jones Beach State Park and Jones Island which stretches east of the park were the creation of master builder Robert Moses in the 1920s. By dredging sand from what is now the State Boat Channel, Moses raised the elevation of the barrier islands by fourteen feet, connecting several small islands into one long stretch topped by Ocean Parkway. Moses created a great "people's park" from what he described as mosquito infested swamps and small islands.
Today, parking fields 3, 4 and 5 are connected to the beachfront by tunnels under Ocean Parkway, providing easy access to the thousands of people who arrive daily. Parking fields 2 and 6 are Oceanfront parking areas with handicapped parking. Mobility mats over the sand down to the high tide line are located at field 6 and the Central Mall. At field 10, fishing piers and a fully equipped bait and tackle shop enable fishing and crabbing until sunset. The regional Night Fishing Permit is required after sunset. The park closes at midnight during the summer months with the beachfront closing at sunset. Swimming is allowed only when lifeguards are on duty. Surfing, stand-up paddle-boarding, and wind surfing are allowed at several locations along the beachfront. Kayaks and sailboards can be put in at field 10 or the boat basin along the north shore of Jones Beach. The boat basin on the west end of the park allows boaters day use of the park throughout the boating season.
Visitors who are fond of swimming in the Ocean can do so at several locations staffed by the Jones Beach Lifeguard Corps. Zach's Bay provides a more calm-water swimming experience for small children; also watched over by able lifeguards. Swimmers with mobility impairments can take advantage of the new Water Wheel mobility aid enabling entry across the sand and into the water.
Birders and those seeking a quieter experience can watch for sea birds, such as Oystercatchers, Terns, Skimmers, Northern Harrier Hawks, Plovers, Brants, Gulls, and many more. Children can collect shells along the seashore and often encounter large horseshoe crabs. A pleasant pastime is a long, leisurely walk on the beach to the east or west of the central part of the park, where few other people will be encountered.
West End Marina is open year round, sunrise to sunset, daily. West End Marina boat docking (and transient berthing) is available starting in the end of June until Labor Day on weekends and holidays, sunrise to sunset.
Biking is permitted on the Boardwalk from the beginning of October until the end of April.
Fishing is at West End Boat Basin starting in early April until the end of December. A permit is needed for night fishing.
Miniature golf course is open from early April until mid-October. Pitch putt is open daily from early May until Labor day then on weekends and holidays until the end of November.
Historic Sites
A half a mile north of the beach, overlooking Zach's Bay, is the 15,200 seat Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. This outdoor amphitheatre opened in 1952 and hosts numerous world famous musicians during the summer months. It is directly across the street from the ocean and is outdoors in an open natural environment. The park is also home to the Theodore Roosevelt Nature Center, which includes environmental displays about the seashore, educational tours and programming for all ages.
Picnic tables and playgrounds are available for use. Paddle ball and shuffleboard tables are open during the summer months.
Water Sports
The park is renowned for its great beaches, 10 mi in length, facing the open Atlantic Ocean and furnishes one of the most popular summer recreational locations for the New York metropolitan area.

Statement from Donald Remy, chief legal officer:
"We are appealing the Court's decision because we do not believe the NCAA has violated the antitrust laws. In its decision, the Court acknowledged that changes to the rules that govern college athletics would be better achieved outside the courtroom, and the NCAA continues to believe that the Association and its members are best positioned to evolve its rules and processes to better serve student-athletes. The reform conversation began long before this lawsuit and the changes announced earlier this month are evidence of the NCAA continually working to improve the student-athlete experience."

A picture is worth...
may mean a much higher creatinine clearance than a creatinine of 0.8 mg/dl in a sedentary 74 year old grandfather...
due to the much lower muscle mass and subsequent lower creatinine production in the older individual.
The beautiful cross sectional MRI images above are a stunning visual reminder of muscle mass differences that we only guess at from external appearances.
The good news is that aging alone does not relegate one to inevitable muscle mass decline and frailty. The images are taken from an interesting study in The Physician and Sportmedicine examining muscle mass and function in men and women in each of four age categories: 40s, 50s, 60s and older than 70. The subjects were all considered masters level athletes engaging in training exercise 4-5 times per week.
In these individuals muscle mass and function did not decline with age though they did gain body fat. Compare the muscle area and appearance of the 74 year old sedentary male above to the 70 year old male athlete below...
The lesson: Stay active, keep your kidneys healthy and keep that creatinine of 0.8 mg/dl reflecting the same creatinine clearance at 70 years old as it did at 40!

Femoral versus Jugular: part three
Previous posts have discussed various iterations of the cathedia study, a study comparing femoral and jugular placement of dialysis catheters in patients in the ICU. As mentioned before, the femoral route was not associated with a higher rate of infection than the jugular route, except in patients with a BMI>28.5, and catheter dysfunction rates were lower in the femoral and R jugular sites compared to the L jugular.
The same group has published another follow-up paper, this time in CJASN, analyzing patients who crossed over from a jugular to a femoral line or vice versa. 134 patients were included in total and again, using the patients as their own controls, there was no increased incidence of infections and no change in catheter dysfunction in the femoral group compared to the jugular. One major limitation of this study was that they did not use ultrasound to insert the lines which must be standard practice in most institutions these days. It should also be said that all three of these papers are from the same database, which adds a significant bias, and it has not yet been replicated. Still, for a fellow planning on inserting a line late at night and wondering what the best practice is, it provides further evidence that the femoral route is safe in most cases and that at least you are not doing any harm by utilizing this route for access.

In a Few Words
-Anatole Broyard
Intoxicated by My Illness
It's funny how small the world is. In this month's In a Few Words in AJKD two of my former colleagues have a beautifully written piece on Advance Directives and the challenges they sometimes present.
The piece reminded me that I've been meaning to write something for Dena for a while but always seem to fall short. I always enjoy the section and the well done Podcasts that often augment it. I'm hoping that a little crowd sourcing will help rectify my own shortcomings.
If interested in submitting, In a few Words aims to give voice to the personal experiences and stories that define kidney disease. They will accept for review nonfiction, narrative submissions of up to 1,600 words, regarding the personal, ethical, or policy implications of any aspect of kidney disease in adults and children.
Footnotes or references are discouraged. Any submission which refers to real patients must be either unidentifiable or approved by the patient(s) described. Submissions from physicians, allied health professionals, patients, or family members are welcome.
You can submit pieces for consideration via AJKD's manuscript handling site.

Azathioprine in pregnancy
Azathioprine is normally converted to the active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine. However, in pregnancy the placenta can metabolize azathioprine to thiouric acid, an inactive metabolite. In addition the fetal liver does not have inosinatopyrophosphorylase which therefore largely protects the fetus from exposure to active compounds.
Azathioprine has been classed as FDA category D - positive evidence of risk.
Despite conflicting data, general expert opinion suggests that azathioprine may be considered for use during pregnancy in certain situations (where the potential benefits outweigh potential risks).
In terms of breast feeding, in a small study, active metabolites have been detected in small quantities in breast milk. Overall the significance of this remains to be fully determined. Manufacturers have taken the official stance to warn against breast feeding while taking the drug.
As with all considerations of alterations in immunosuppressive dosing, careful consideration of risks and benefits should be explored in detail with the treating physician before any change is undertaken.

Cell Polarity and Cystic Diseases
However, there is another facet to polarity which appears to be just as important – planar polarity – this is the correct orientation of cells and specialized structures within cells along the plane of the epithelial sheet. Much research is continuing into the genes responsible for the development and maintenance of polarity. One of the means by which a loss of planar polarity may induce the formation of cysts is through the loss or dysfunction of primary cilia.

Hold the potassium
It was not an unusual event during my clinical fellowship to get a call from the cardiac team asking for dialysis in a patient with hyperkalemia and acute renal failure. On a few occasions the hyperkalemia seemed disproportionate to the level of renal function and on further investigation, this was found to the as a result of the zealous correction of the potassium level to >4 mEq/L in patients in the cardiac unit. I have often wondered about this practice and whether or not there was firm evidence for keeping the potassium in the 4-5 mEq/L range (or even 4.5-5.5 as suggested by some authors) and so it was with interest that I read this paper that just appeared in JAMA.
As mentioned in the paper, the data suggesting that low potassium levels are associated with increased mortality are relatively old and date from an era when ventricular arrhythmias were more common following an MI. They were also generally relatively small studies. The authors of this study used a database of patients presenting to 67
They were looking primarily at post-admission potassium levels and their relationship with in-hospital mortality and the occurrence of arrhythmias. AS one would expect, there was a U-shaped curve for the relationship between in-hospital mortality and the potassium level. What was unexpected, however, was that the lowest mortality was seen in patients with a potassium between 3.5 and 4.5 mEq/L and that the mortality doubled in patients with a potassium between 4.5 and 5 mEq/L.
This was borne out in the fully adjusted model. The OR for in-hospital mortality was 1.96 (CI 1.64-2.34) for patients with a potassium between 4.5 and 5 mEq/L. Interestingly, the risk of a ventricular arrhythmia was the same in patients in the midrange of potassium values and only increased in patients with a potassium of below 3 or above 5 mEq/L. This contrasted with the mortality data and the authors suggested that this might be in part a result of incorrect coding of ventricular arrhythmias and is a potential limitation of the study. Also, this study certainly does not prove that replacing potassium to a level above 4.5 mEq/L is dangerous. This could only be answered by a randomized trial. There may be some residual confounders that have not been accounted for in the model. Still, as the authors point out, this study challenges current guidelines and suggest that a better target for potassium in patients following an acute MI would be 3.5-4.5 mEq/L. Perhaps we might see less of this particular consult in the future?

Classification of Metabolic Alkalosis
Dr John Gennari had another typically excellent review of metabolic alkalosis in AJKD in October. He suggests an alternative means of classifying a metabolic alkalosis according to the etiology of the alkalosis along with the physiological basis for the maintenance of the alkalosis once it has occurred. He also goes into some detail explaining the key role that chloride depletion has in the development and maintenance of a metabolic alkalosis.
The 3 subtypes that he suggested are:
1. Secondary stimulation of collecting duct ion transport:
This is the commonest type and results largely from a secondary increase in the activity of ENaC in the distal nephron leading to increased sodium reabsorption and hydrogen ion excretion. The commonest causes are chloride depletion syndromes (GI losses, CF) and the use of thiazide and loop diuretics, with congenital disorders such as Bartter and Gitelman syndrome being rarer. Severe potassium depletion can also precipitate a metabolic alkalosis. The mechanism is complicated but it includes increased proximal tubular hydrogen ion secretion, decreased activity of the Na-2K-Cl transporter in the loop of Henle (with increased NH4 transport in this segment also contributing) and subsequent increased activity of ENaC due to the higher distal delivery of sodium. This form of alkalosis is perpetuated by chloride depletion.
2. Primary stimulation of collecting duct ion transport:
This is almost always due to a pathological increase in sodium reabsorption with consequent hypertension and volume expansion. The commonest cause is primary aldosteronism. Other rarer causes include Cushing's Syndrome, CAH, Liddle's Syndrome, 11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibition (licorice) or deficiency and exogenous mineralocorticoids.
3. Alkali intake or administration:
This is largely an issue of excess alkali administration in patients who are unable to excrete it rapidly – i.e. patients with abnormal renal function
This paper is highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand more about the pathophysiology of metabolic alkalosis

Is the glass half empty or half full?
Recently, we were asked to see a patient on the consult service with a rising creatinine, a BUN of close to 200 and decreased urine output. The patient was a diabetic who had an STEMI several months previously complicated by pneumonia and cardiogenic shock. He was cachectic, did not have any edema or ascites and because of his trach-collar, I put "unable to assess JVD" in my note. His BUN had been high (above 100) for more than 4 weeks (not on TPN, steroids, no GI bleeding) as he was aggressively diuresed for heart failure and his creatinine had been rising slowly which, given his low muscle mass, indicated a significant reduction in GFR. My attending also assessed the patient and felt that his JVP was elevated and recommended diuresis. The primary team, in contrast, felt that his JVP was low and they recommended fluids. The assessment of the JVD is a notoriously difficult exam and very hard to master if one does not do it appropriately as described in a previous post. The patient received 2 liters of fluid and his cardiac status worsened so he was started on dialysis several days later for worsening renal function and volume removal.
This case illustrates the difficulty in accurately assessing volume status in patients in general.
When was the last time you assessed a JVD comfortably? We often say "this patient is dry" or that he needs diuresis but how accurate are our assessments based on the clinical exam alone?
A previous post discussed the JVP and its use as a tool for volume status assessment and cited a systematic review stating that there is a "poor relationship between the isolated inspection of CVP and prediction of blood volume and fluid responsiveness." One of my attendings gave me an article on this topic several weeks ago: "Clinical assessment of extracellular fluid volume in hyponatremia". The article assessed the clinical judgment of volume status by one of the authors (including cardiac parameters, JVP, orthostatic changes, skin turgor, moisture in the axillae, hydration of mucous membranes) and volume status was 'objectively' assessed by spot urine samples of sodium and creatinine and BUN, norepinephrine and plasma renin concentrations. The clinical assessment was only able to identify 47 % of hypovolemic patients and 48% of normovolemic patients whereas the spot urine sodium clearly separated hypovolemic from normovolemic patients.
The "Bible" of physical examination - Evidence Based Physical Diagnosis by Steven McGee - attributes a low sensitivity or specificity or both to the most common findings used when assessing hypovolemia (the highest likelihood ratio was 2.8 for a dry axilla; in contrast, dry mucous membranes, tongue furrows, sunken eyes, confusion, weakness or unclear speech did not have a significant likelihood ratio). Capillary refill time has been compared only once to a diagnostic standard and was found to have no diagnostic significance.
An intriguing series in JAMA about the rational physical exam stated in the conclusion that "in patients with vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased oral intake, few findings have proven utility, and clinicians should measure serum electrolytes, serum blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels when diagnostic certainty is required."
The bottom-line I learned from all of this is: our examination at the bedside is notoriously unreliable in making accurate statements about a patient's volume status and objective parameters need to be taken into account to get a complete picture. A previous post discussed the use of urine electrolytes as a more objective tool for assessing volume status in addition to clinical examination.

Lawyers to offer overview of child exploitation and porn charges against NH lawyer
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � The trial is getting under way for a New Hampshire lawyer charged with exploiting a 14-year-old girl to produce child pornography.
Federal prosecutors say the woman took the girl to Canada in May 2012 to engage in sexual conduct to produce child pornography.
Last week prosecutors added an eighth felony charge against the woman, saying she videotaped her and the child engaging in sexually-explicit conduct.
She has pleaded not guilty and been held without bond since her arrest in November.
The woman also has been ordered to have no contact with the victim, after U.S. Attorney John Kacavas argued that she � in phone conversations from jail � was pressuring the child about what to say.
The trial is expected to start on Wednesday.

Jon Savage is the chief consultant and research associate on all aspects of the archive.
Jon Savage Black Hole Compilation
This compilation celebrates the first wave of California Punk that briefly flourished between 1976 and 1980. Before then, there were a few glitter + cuspy street rock/ power pop bands – in Los Angeles, the Pop, Zolar X and the Nerves, in San Francisco, La Rue – while afterwards came the deluge: Hardcore, Rockabilly Revival, Industrial, and mainstream Power Pop.
So there were two to three years where – while admitting a generalised loud and fast punk template – almost anything went. Anyone who visited California in 1977 and 1978 could see that the major labels would never give the new generation of groups access to proper funding, television, radio and supported tours. They existed in a black hole. But in that vacuum they found freedom.
As the co-founder of key LA punk zine Slash Claude Bessy remembered, 'the record companies and media were all hippies who had made it, and they were very hostile. But that's when it got really good. We decided it was our party, nobody is interested, let's go wild. It definitely seemed that we were going to be rejects forever'.
Californian punks were self-starters, creating an infrastructure out of nothing: venues like Brendan Mullen's guerrilla club, the Masque; fanzines like Slash, Flipside, Search and Destroy out of San Francisco; and of course groups, ranging from sped-up rockers and pure punkers to synth experimenters and agit-prop consciousness raisers, leavened with the theatre of the absurd.
Having experienced a taste of this squalling subculture – I was very disappointed that it got almost no media attention in the UK. I'd get sent the records by Search & Destroy's V.Vale and I couldn't believe how good they were: easily as good as anything being produced in the UK, if not better in their black humour and earthy swing.
It was chauvinism of course, and nationalistic chauvinism at that – doubly nauseating. England had become 'the world's Punk Rock Centre' – never mind that the idea, or a variant thereof, had also occurred to the alert and the alienated in New York, Cleveland, Paris, maybe even Chickasha, Oklahoma. And so its music press had to maintain the position. By slagging off the Yanks.
As if it was needed, this compilation should address that historical neglect. It has been gratifying to see Cali Punk given its due by recent oral histories like Brendan Mullen's "We Got The Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of L.A.Punk" (with Marc Spitz), and "Lexicon Devil – the Fast Time and Short Life of Darby Crash and the Germs" (with Don Bolles and Adam Parfrey 2002).
But the music contained herein needs no further justification than the fact that it rocks; that it contains ideas, tunes, anti-establishment rants, sharp comments about the world, attempts at transcendence and plenty of savage wit. Because it has remained an open secret, it hasn't become a cliché, and so sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded."

Manchester United New Shirt Sponsorship
As you might or might not know, I'm a fan of Manchester United.
Been following its preseason updates and it seems that there's a new shirt sponsorship with Aon Corp, one of the world's leading risk advisor and human capital consultants.
When you think the AIG logo on the United shirt doesn't look good, wait till you see the one with Aon's logo.
I think most Malaysians went A-O-N, which means "Alamak Oh No!".
Anyway, this entry is about Manchester United's list of shirt sponsors since the 1980s, and also one particular sponsor in the future.
Firstly, Sharp Electronics became the club's first shirt sponsor at the beginning of the 1982-83 season and lasted until the end of the 1999-2000 season.
Looks good since it's the first time. Manchester United has grown and became sharper throughout the years as well.
After that Vodafone, a British mobile network operator, became the next sponsor for the next 6 years till 2006.
Even though mobile networking doesn't relate much with football, but the logo looks cool enough for Manchester United.
And at the start of the 2006–07 season, American insurance corporation AIG agreed a sponsorship deal.
To be honest, my initial perception is that the shirt doesn't look nice. The initial "AIG" looks awkward to me.
But as the season kicked off, I guess everyone got used to the AIG logo. Especially the white-coloured away kit.
Wayne Rooney looks good in it.
But it's even better and way way way more attractive on this lady.
When is Manchester United going to set up a female football team? Anytime soon? Would really love to see them play.
Anyway, as mentioned earlier, another American company Aon became the club's latest sponsor in what media reports is worth more than $130 million.
Big amount but still – Alamak Oh No! Doesn't really looks nice to me. But we'll get used to it eventually. =)
By the way, if you've read an earlier entry on my recent visit to Old Trafford, you would have known that kenwooi.com is a sponsor of Manchester United too right?
Not a shirt sponsor though.
To be exact, just a minor banner sponsor in Old Trafford.
Therefore, hopefully in years to come, kenwooi.com will be Manchester United's principal shirt sponsor. And this would be the shirt design – probably the best of all.
The Manchester United shirt is an iconic image in the world of sport, and kenwooi.com will definitely be honoured to appear on it. That time, millions of people worldwide will begin to know yet another leading blog – kenwooi.com.
It will be a historic occasion, every one of kenwooi.com's global employees (only 1 at the moment) will receive a free Manchester United team shirt.
This should be the new kit. Who's gonna buy?
Support a bit lah please…

cool choice
( I'm not being sarcastic by the way )
I'm not on here much at all, so there's a lot of things I do....
I don't know, my life I suppose, another website or two(Werda Verd) games, etc.
Yep, though I've not seen you much on those sights, cus I've not been on them much.....yeah. I read, play 360, watch vids on youtube, listen to music, etc.
I talk to someone and occasionally some other people. or I do stuff, or get on Xbox or C&C 3
I got CnC 3 for the 360, and then I got the red ring of death. Now I play Crimson Skies and Burnout 3 on my XBO (xbox original). And the few hundred roms I have on it since it's modded.
What I do:
Play Video Games
Would play my pc but instead that whole time slot is filled with lamenting on how slow my pc is (i got kotor 2 for it. too slow to start.)
Read (I'm on the Space Wolf omnibus now)
Watch new movie and game trailers on the internet (Yay Dark Knight and Dragon Age!)
Work (New addition to my life. Will like it more when my first paycheck comes. )
Ride quads (not much anymore)
Listen to music (Mostly Foo Fighters. Ipods way too old [2 gig])
Daydream about being a billionaire or having a galactic empire. (a little weird)
That's about it.
I really should do the Grocery. But I am here. My daughter is still asleep and I wanted her to come but it's really just an excuse for my lazyness. It's easier here than getting dressed and go there. Although I really have to.

LOLI know what you mean. I really have to finish off cleaning the kitchen and get easrly to bed but I am still here
Aw terra, thats the story of my life. Knowing there are things i need to do, and finding myself unable to get them done.
Today I did go to the beach... does that count?

lol sure does.
Seriously, any activity out of the computer should count. Really.
When I am not here I am hangin' with my boy Oz and my wife Shelle. We do lots of shopping at second hand stores for SW toys and stuff, always looking for that diamond for a dollar! I write childrens stories and also songs for my band in Australia and my own solo project! Have a circle pit in my living room with my son with The Neckromantix blearing! I play golf on occasion and darts as well! I have also started a new hobby of trying to make my own margaritas, so that can take up a night and most of the next day if they are good! Sides that........... texas hold 'em and my beloved Wii!!
I am always wondering what games are good for the Wii. I have one.. but i find I rarely use it. *waiting for TFU*.
Now I offically have a job so I spend too much time there. I'd say I spend time with loved ones.... but......anyway. I've dedided my new thing is going to be going to the gym... a lot.
When I am not here i usually:
Listen to music (lately is it Bon Jovi...that'll change in a month lol jk)
Look for pictures of my latest celeb crushes (Yea I need a life...as many people have told me already)
Hang out with my friends
...i guess i sleep sometimes
Play video games
I don't think there is much else... alot of that stuff I do when I am on the BFFC too lol
When I am not here or at work I exercise, watch TV, listen to music, and occasional housework.
I'm a mod on a forum here: http://z13.invisionfree.com/koeiwarrior … hp?act=idx
It's a huge and very active forum, so helping look after takes away most of my online time... althought lately I've been trying to find more time for this place... ^_^
Otherwise, I spend a good deal chatting on MSN, going to classes (in 3 more days), going to the movies, playing videogames, and the usual.
Monday= i have P.T. for ROTC, so when i got done with school and P.T. i come home, do home work, past out.
Tuesday= check BFFC all the other fourms, everytihng on the comp, sleep
Wednesday= Today is uniform day, gotta make sure my outfit has the military crease, shoes are shiny, make sure my hair isnt to long.
Thursday= same as tuesday, and it is almost friday!!
Friday= Another day of P.T. finish this all up, come home, go bowling, racing, whatever we feel like doing.
Saturday= sometimes ill go out again, see if this girl has said anytihng about me on myspace or anything, or contact my inside spiy's to see if she has slipped up and said anything about me
Sunday= All day on the comp, talk to the friends, complain a little its sunday, then i repeat this process.
Wow, another ROTC member! *I'm not in the ROTC, but another member here on the boards is* You guys on your way to or already in the military get my support; any time, any place. Ooo Rah!!!
Lately I've been either at work, at school, and at rare times when I get the chance on my Bro's xBox when not here. But I discovered the site isn't blocked on the faculty computers, so my school time and time here are a bit mixed now
School and work pretty much suck up all my time this semester (lab classes and 2 jobs do NOT mix well at all), but I manage to set some aside to do improv twice a week with a group on campus. I also draw a comic with my roommate for the school newspaper. I used to do some web design recreationally, but now that falls into the work category.
When not on the forum;
Work, play, sleep, relax, work, play.... Get the picture?
Aside from the obvious/given, genereally I play video games (I have a Wii XD Among others), draw, read, homework (boo...), watch some TV (usually Law and Order or Family Guy. One of my favorite shows is Monk though =3), sleep.... Um, I also entertain my kitties sometimes, I play Maple Story (its free!), and I also talk to my boyfriend over my crappy microphone. But thats pretty rare. D=
I'm on clonecommandos.net...
i read Death Star (until i finish it, then i return it to library and check out Darth Bane 1 & 2)
I read Fett/R.C. books, play Battlefront2 or other Star Wars games, and daydream about Boba Fett.
I also love anyother Star Wars books, and I've read Darth Bane 1 and 2 too
LOL, you seem to be a Fett fan to the bone ee-3!
I Try!!!!!!!!!

The City page shows the basic data about your city. The page is divided into three main sections.
The City Tab on the top of the page contains a drop down menu that takes one to the selected page: Summary, Details, Graphs, Ledger, Development and Library.
The City page shows the basic data about your city. The page is divided into three main groups of three sections each.
Left Group: Player and general city information
The Upper section displays the City Name, Wealth, Income, Maintenance Costs and current construction costs. The Middle Section shows the status of your city population. Health, Morale and Loyalty will reflect changes based on actions you take during the game. Also in this section is the current tax rate, which can be adjusted by the player. Be sure to save any changes with the save button in the upper right hand corner. The Bottom section details player information: Name, Race, and current levels of Chivalry, Morality and Ethics.
Center Group: Population and Military information
The top section shows the current population of the city broken down by age . The center section shows the available and required workforce. The bottom section shows the current size of the Militia, Army and Intrigue forces.
Right Group: Current status and Development
This section shows the levels of development of Structure, Stores, and Materiel. This group is where one can set production levels. Save with the button in the upper right hand corner. The Top section shows quantity and production levels for structure, Housing, Markets, Warehouses, Arts, and Guilds. The center section shows the same for Stores, Food, Lumber, Stone, Metal and treasure. The bottom section shows levels and quantity for the various military materiel: Armor, Weapons, Bows, Mounts and Magic.
The Details tab allows you to view the complete, detailed listing of the Resources and Development of the City, both current maintenance and construction. The details page is broken down into 7 main categories: Resources, Developments, Manufacturing , Structure, Infrastructure, Armory, and Education. Resources are the available raw materials in your region and produce some amount of each of those materials without any development required. Development shows the facilities built to harvest the raw materials. Manufacturing shows the facilities built to process the harvested materials. Structure shows the various support buildings. Infrastructure shows housing and public works. Armory shows the various production units for your army. Education shows the higher leaning centers for each class of Hero.
The Details section lists the Production of each type, the number of Workers required, the quantity of basic materials required for maintenance, and the cost in both Workers and Materials required to build a new development of that type. There is also a column that displays the number of Turns required to build that development. Each category (except Resources) is split in two halves: Maintenance and Construction. Each half has the number on hand or under construction, how many workers required as well as how much of each resource material is required. These values are the amount required each month.

Stewart Butterfield had a dream.
He wanted to build a game that was different from anything else he had played. He wanted to start a company to build that game and then make it available to everyone in the world for free. He wanted to push the boundaries of how people play games together.
Unfortunately, his idea came in 2002, when few venture capitalists wanted to invest in making games, much less free ones.
At the time, Butterfield's startup, Ludicorp, was running out of cash. Things had gotten so bad the company was about to sell off furniture to make payroll. In desperation, the developers took a prototype social network side-project and enhanced it so that it allowed users to upload and share photos. This project eventually turned into Flickr—and it became so popular that Yahoo purchased Ludicorp in 2005.
Butterfield stayed on at Yahoo for a few years, but his original dream still pulled at him. By 2009, venture capitalists were now tripping over each other to fund free-to-play online games, so Butterfield seized his chance. He founded Tiny Speck and set up offices in San Francisco and Vancouver.
Butterfield had been impressed by the success of casual, browser-based games such as Farmville, but he didn't find the games themselves terribly interesting. Despite being hosted on the world's largest social networks, they tended to be primarily single-player experiences. Sure, you could send bundles of grain to another player's farm, but you couldn't watch them farming and then step in to help them out.
Way back in 1982, one of the first games to attempt a collaborative multiplayer experience was LucasArts' Habitat, a side-scrolling adventure where many players explored a single world. Just prior to the founding of Ludicorp, Stewart had read the seminal essay "The Lessons from Habitat," a post-mortem analysis of the game by its original developers. One of the most interesting things about Habitat was that the players themselves came up with new gameplay ideas together. Recreating this "emergent" behavior has long been a dream of massively multiplayer online (MMO) game developers, but it has rarely been achieved.
Tiny Speck's own game was called Glitch. Taking Habitat as an inspiration, the developers started crafting a world that would be more about player collaboration than combat. In fact, there would be no combat at all.
Glitch was intriguing, so I recently dropped by the Tiny Speck offices in Vancouver to find out more about both the company's game design ideas and the technology used to bring them to life.
No combat? So what do you do?
Designing a game without combat turned out to be difficult. What would players spend most of their time doing? The Glitch designers decided to beef up things like crafting, where players combine raw materials they find in the world to create new and useful objects. The game features dozens of different skills to learn, from baking to meditation, with many different sub-ranks within each skill.
In addition, the player can interact with almost every object in the world. Pigs can be patted or nibbled; just like the ones in the Simpsons "Garden of Eden" episode, they are unharmed by the process. A player with a rake, a watering can, and some beans can plant a patch of dirt, then come back later to pick fruit off the tree growing there. When many players do this all at once, the flora in any area can change daily.
Glitch also has quests, handed out by a smiling stone that floats at the top center of the game screen. Quests consist of everything from exploring new areas to interacting with other players using objects you've crafted yourself. When you complete quests you get experience points, which let your character gain levels. You also gain energy, which is important, since almost everything you do in the game drains energy. If you run out completely, your character will descend into "Hell," where the only escape is to crush grapes with your feet until you are allowed back into the "real" world. Little tombstones that occasionally dot the countryside are indicators that not everyone is careful with their energy usage.
The fun factor
The key question isn't about game theory or design, though. It's about whether Glitch is fun to play. The answer is a surprising yes. Despite the lack of combat, there's plenty for your character to do. The floating stone periodically hands out new quests and reminds you when you have finished learning a new skill. Skills continue to increase while you are offline—as in Eve Online—making it worthwhile to log back in even if you've been away from the game for a bit.
Where the game could really become interesting is with player interaction. Some of the quests have been designed to stimulate this sort of activity, such as the quest where you have to put on Wax Lips and blow kisses at other players while under the influence of Garlic Breath. The surreal and funny ways that objects can be combined reminded me a bit of old adventure games like The Secret of Monkey Island—games in which there was also no combat (unless you count "insult swordfighting").
Game design and player interaction
The main problem with crafting a game world and waiting for players to create emergent behavior is that the first thing they do is try to kill one another. Even when the game doesn't allow player-vs-player combat, people still find ways to annoy each other, such as killing important non-player characters like quest-givers. None of this is possible in the Glitch game world.
It's sometimes hard for players to shake the competitive urge. Originally, rocks could be mined by only one player at a time, leading to frustration for the player who clicked a millisecond too slowly. The designers changed this so that multiple players could mine simultaneously, but people complained that other players were "using up" the rocks too quickly. A new system was implemented where having multiple people mining gave each player more ore than if they had worked individually. Finally, a quest was added to reward collaborative miners still further.
Tuning the quests and interactions to provide the right level of difficulty and reward was complicated. In beta testing, the development team found that while singing to butterflies was repetitive and boring, people would still sing to butterflies obsessively—because it provided small but guaranteed amounts of experience. The devs tried to balance this by making singing to animals cost energy, but then players simply farmed huge numbers of girly drinks (which made animals interactions cost no energy) and continued to grind the same thing again and again. The girly drinks were then nerfed, and people immediately complained.
"We realized that if we incentivized things that were inherently boring," Butterfield told me, "people would do them again and again—it showed up in the logs—but that they would secretly hate us."
Player housing is implemented, with an apartment-style design that lets anyone have their own home without cluttering up the landscape. You can decorate your home and grow things in your own garden on the patio. Unlike many games, in Glitch it does not take long to save up enough cash for a place of your own, though making it look less than spartan will take considerable effort.
Funny little touches to the game litter the game. For example, getting the right papers to let you purchase an apartment requires multiple trips to the Department of Administrative Affairs (Ministry of Departments) where you spend much time in a waiting area while bureaucratic lizard men play Farmville on tiny computers.
I hadn't logged into the game in awhile, and when I did I saw that my in-game mailbox was wiggling and jiggling, waiting for me. At first glance I thought: "Oh no! Spammers have infiltrated the Glitch servers!" But when I read more closely, I realized the developers were just pulling my leg:
$$$ CHEAP RX AVAILABLE NOW $$$ MAIL ORDER PURPLE FLOWERS, HAIRBALL FLOWERS, NO-NO POWDER FULLY LEGAL* PRESCRIPTIONS** FROM REAL DOCTORS*** TROUBLE PLEASURING YOUR GLITCH GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND/ FRIEND-OF-VARIABLE-OR-UNDISCLOSED-OR-UNDEFINED-GENDER? WORRY NO LONGER WITH ALL NATURAL RUBEWEED ENHANCEMENTS. $$$ CHEAP AND LEGAL* $$$ CALL NOW * May not be as legal as advertised. ** Prescriptions may be scrawled on bar napkins in crayon. *** May not be a doctor. Possibly just a piggy we refer to as Doctor Piggles who signs prescriptions (see above) with his foot and actually truth be told it is pretty adorable.

2nd day of "100 days of crafts":
This afternoon I invited my girls to create cards with me.
I gave them pre-stamped images, they picked, colored, and designed their own cards.
The card I did was so ugly - the result didn't satisfy my urge to create something, so later on I did this door sign, and the only thing left to do it add the family name that will get the sign,,,
Which color of letters would you choose (for the name)?
This is Yaara's card (Yaara is 10.5 years old) - I was surprised (and impressed) by the minimalism :-)
And Mor's card (Mor is 8.5 years old) - her creativity with the banner is so cute!
Thanks for stopping by :-)

Former Portsmouth school employee faces 9 counts of stalking
Police say Kenneth Kimber violated order, had contact with witness
Police in Portsmouth say a former school district technology department employee accused of using a computer to try to lure a teenage girl for sex has been arrested on nine counts of stalking.
Police say a judge last month ordered Kenneth Kimber not to have contact with a specific witness to his pending criminal case. He is on bail for three counts of certain uses of a computer, five counts of indecent exposure, attempted aggravated sexual assault and interference with custody.
Police say the 34-year-old Kimber violated the order when he had contact with the witness nine times.
He faces arraignment May 6.
Police said Kimber, a former Portsmouth High School information technology employee, allegedly sent sexually explicit photos of himself to a girl while soliciting her for sex.
