A tumble from a great height or a fall on to a root or trekking pole can lead to significant injuries and internal bleeding in the abdominal area.
The circumstances of the accident can give a clue as to whether the stomach has been injured. Bruising and blue flecks are also indicators of a blunt stomach injury.
Pain in the stomach and a rigid abdominal wall often only set in later. A significant loss of blood in the abdomen can lead to typical shock symptoms such as cold sweat and paleness, right up to loss of consciousness. A life-threatening situation can ensue if a professional rescue team is not promptly alerted.
Upon recognizing the symptoms, the first priority is an emergency call, because internal bleeding can soon become life-threatening. It is better to alert emergency services one time too many than one time too few. Every minute counts!
The injured person should be cushioned, kept warm and supported in a relieving posture (usually in the fetal position or on their back with raised knees). Good psychological should be taken of them. It is a difficult situation for a first responder, because it feels as though you can’t do anything for the person and are just helplessly sitting next to them. But just sitting there and treating the injured person sympathetically is a big help in itself.
If the injured person loses consciousness, check their breathing. If they are breathing regularly, put them in the stable recovery position. If the injured person is not breathing regularly, resuscitate until the rescue team arrive or until the first responder is exhausted.

Southern Flinders tourism well over 100 years old!
That the popularity of Mount Remarkable among tourists and holiday makers is increasing is shown, according to our Melrose correspondent, by the number of motor cars and other vehicles which climb the mount.
Mount Remarkable is situated within a few minutes’ walk of Melrose township. About half way up the mount beautiful views of the plain are obtained from amongst the trees. A little farther up can be seen Hammond, and the high hill of Mount Brown, to the north of Quorn. From the top of the mount the Blackrock and Orroroo Ranges, the Wirrabara Forest, and the ranges near Petersburg stand out prominently to the south and south-east.
Ports Germein and Pirie are to be seen on the west side. Climbing the mountain is a favorite pastime, not only for the sake of the magninficent panorama which it provides, but also because of the bracing air for which this part of the north is noted.

Before assembling your product, please take a few minutes to check the contents and become familiar with all the parts.
⚠WARNING - DO NOT overfill the pool and / or allow people to lay over or sit on pool wall - DOING SO CAN CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY!
DRAIN pool to the proper level after a heavy rain.
TIP: It will be much easier to install your pool if you unfold it and let it lay in direct sunlight for about 2 hours prior to installation. This will help to ensure a wrinkle-free fit as the pool material will become more pliable, allowing it to form into shape during installation.
⚠WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT! SITE MUST BE LEVEL, STABLE, COMPACTED SOIL.
The pool must be assembled on a smooth and level site of firm soil that is free of stones, gravel, sticks, blacktop, or other oil base compounds.
Do not install pool on a wooden deck or any type of wooden surface. You cannot use sand and/or uncompacted soil to provide a level surface for this pool; it will only wash out.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL CAUSE POOL TO COLLAPSE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
2. The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 6ft (1.83m) from any electrical receptacle.
3. All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 20ft (6.0m) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The 20ft (6m) distance is measured via the shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other permanent barrier.
4. Contact your local utilities, checking that no underground cables, telephone lines, gas lines, etc. run beneath the area you have selected.
1. Locate a level and flat area to setup the pool. Make sure the ground is free from sharp objects as it may puncture the pool.
2. Carefully unfold the pool and inspect seams for manufacturing defects. Lay the pool out flat on the ground. Let the pool sit in the sun for at least 2 hours prior to installation (this will help insure a wrinkle-free fit because the pool material will be more pliable allowing it to form into shape during installation).
4. Locate the horizontal beams (shorter beams with a larger diameter and holes on the ends) and insert them into the pockets stitched along the top edge of the pool wall. Rotate them in the pockets so the holes are on the top and bottom of the pipe protruding from each end of the pocket.
5. Locate the T-fittings and begin attaching them to the Horizontal Beams, aligning the holes as you go. Do not install any of the pins at this time. Continue around the pool installing all the T-Fittings onto the Horizontal beams.
When you reach the last connection, install the last T-Fitting on the end of one of the beams. Lift up on both of the last two beams in order to get them to insert into the T-Fitting. Angle them towards each other and guide the beam into the fitting as you lower them both down together.
6. Begin inserting the Pins and Grommets down through the top of the T-fittings until the pin snaps into place on the lower side of the fitting.
7. Locate the Vertical Legs, they come pre-installed with V spring pins (in yellow) at the top end. Insert the leg down through the belt that runs around the middle of the pool. Connect them into the top frame by pushing the buttons in as you insert the leg into the T-Fitting. Ensure the buttons pop out of the T-fitting to confirm that the Vertical Leg is locked in place.
8. Insert Plastic leg caps on the bottoms of the vertical legs.
9. Check for stability. Make sure all fittings, legs, and beams properly fit and all the pins have been securely fastened in all of the holes. Grab the vertical legs at the bottom and gently pull them out making sure they remain vertical and perpendicular to the top ring.
On some larger pools, you will need to place the strap ring that comes in the box on top of the pool frame and slide it all the way down to the leg caps. Strap ring shown below highlighted in yellow.
10. Install the filtration system.
11. Make sure the drain fitting is plugged securely and the cap is in place. Start filling the pool with water until it reaches an inch of water. Pause filling and smooth the wrinkles out of the bottom of the pool making sure the bottom is flat and round equally in all directions.
12. Continue filling and continue to check the vertical legs and make sure they remain vertical and perpendicular to the top ring.
1. Locate the drain plug on the outside pool wall and remove the drain cap. A standard garden hose will thread onto the drain fitting. Extend the hose to the area where the water is to be drained. Open the drain plug on the inside wall of the pool and water will drain out through the hose. If you can't find the drain plug on the inside, the "useful tips" section below for troubleshooting.
2. Remove any remaining water. Wash and completely dry pool using a soft cotton cloth. Push the drain plug into the fitting and replace the cap.
3. Frame Pools: If your pool has metal frame work, disassemble those pieces. This is done depending on the model of pool. You either depress the plastic buttons and slide those pieces apart, or remove plastic pins holding pieces together and slide those pieces apart. If you aren't sure how to take down the pool, refer to the set-up sheet and reverse the order of the steps.
4. Clean all parts and wipe dry. Store together in a safe storage place for reassembly next season. Order replacement parts for any damaged, broken, or worn parts from Polygroup customer service at 1-888-919-0070 or at our online store. It is best to order parts now so you will have them ready for when you set up the pool next season.
5. Solar blankets, covers, ladders, etc., should be cleaned and dried before storing.
The drain to the pool will be found a few inches from the ground on the left or right side of the filter canister. If you can not find the drain cap, it likely means the liner floor was not spread evenly and the cap is under the lip of the pool. Run your hand under the floor of the pool on both sides of the canister. Once the cap is found, expose it by pushing up on the pool enough to unscrew the cap. This will likely require the use of a secondary method of removing water from the pool, such as an independent water pump.
There are slight differences in garden hose nozzle threads. This can cause some hoses not to screw properly onto the drain cap threading. Basic hoses have a higher probability of fitting the thread.
1. A small rubber mallet can be used to tap the ends of the pins through the bottom of the horizontal beams along the top of the frame.
2. Alternately, a pair of needle nose pliers can be utilized to remove the pins. Using the needle nose pliers, compress the ends of pin together and push up. The compression of the end allows the exposes flanges that lock under the lip of the hole to slip inside the horizontal beam. Slip the needle nose pliers underneath the head of the pin and pull up, the pin can then be removed from the horizontal beam.
If you break pins during this process, you may purchase replacements by contacting Polygroup customer service at 1-888-919-0070 or at our online store.
NOTE: There are many reasons why at the end of the season why frame components will not come apart. In the extreme heat of summer, metal expands which makes it difficult if not impossible to take frame apart. It is suggested to wait until the temperature drops giving time for the metal to cool and the metal to "Shrink" back to its normal dimensions.
There is also a phenomenon known as hydrolysis, where the salty air and water creates a situation where the frame components all but weld together. What is suggested if you live in a high humidity area with salty air or if you are using a salt water system is to use a WD40 pre-treatment or other silicone spray on all joints before putting the frame together. You can also use the WD40 at the end of the season to break apart the joints. Be certain to wipe away any excess before putting the frame together. Clean off all spray before storing the frame for the off season.
1. Metal expands in heat. Allow the pool frame to cool into the early evening before continuing dis-assembly.
2. Use two people to make the process easier. The horizontal beam is pulled away from the T-fitting by one person. The second person pulls the T-fitting the opposite direction, lifting up on both in a "opening a draw bridge" like motion to release the tension of the frame.
3. Rotate frame pieces clockwise, then counter clockwise. Repeat to aid in separating frame components. Utilizing two people makes the process much easier.
4. Leg caps can be difficult to remove. This is due to the extreme weight of the pool with water pressing down on them. Tap the bottom and sides of leg caps with a rubber mallet to loosen dirt and grim. Rotate the cap back and forth, clockwise and counter clockwise to loosen. Having a second person hold the vertical leg may be helpful.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-888-919-0070. You can also contact us at warranty@polygroup.com.

Step 1 Put the smoked cod in a deep frying pan. Add the bay leaf, then pour over the stock. Heat to simmering point, then reduce the heat, half-cover the pan with a lid and poach for 6-8 minutes until the flesh flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife. (If you prefer, the fish can be cooked in a microwave.) Lift the fish out of the cooking liquid and set aside. Make up the volume of the cooking liquid/stock to 2 cups with water and reserve with the bay leaf.
Step 2 Rinse out the pan, then add the oil and heat over a medium heat for a few seconds. Add the shallots and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened, then stir in the spices, followed by the rice. Stir for a few seconds to coat with the oil and spices, then add the reserved cooking liquid and bay leaf and the strip of lemon zest. Bring to a boil.
Step 3 Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the peas, cover again and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the rice is tender and nearly all the stock has been absorbed.
Step 4 Meanwhile, flake the fish, removing any skin and bones. Reduce the heat under the pan to very low, then gently stir the fish into the rice together with the tomatoes, lemon juice and chives.
Step 5 Season to taste, bearing in mind that smoked cod is quite salty, then transfer the kedgeree to a warm serving dish and garnish with the egg quarters.

Tears ran in rivulets down her cheeks.
At length the sun's rays have attained the right angle, and warm winds blow up mist and rain and melt the snowbanks, and the sun, dispersing the mist, smiles on a checkered landscape of russet and white smoking with incense, through which the traveller picks his way from islet to islet, cheered by the music of a thousand tinkling rills and rivulets whose veins are filled with the blood of winter which they are bearing off.
This little stream is the Tembi, which within a short distance is joined by two other rivulets, the Tamincono and Falico, which have their origin in the same mountainous district.
She was drenched to the skin and rivulets of water ran down her shivering body.
Mascara ran in muddy little rivulets down her cheeks, and her eyes were as red as a three-day drunk.

Pennsylvania law requires that all townships, prior to December 31, adopt a budget for the following calendar year. The Board of Supervisors must approve a preliminary budget at least 20 days prior to action on the final budget, and the public given notice of that preliminary budget.
View the Millcreek Township budgets and audits, which are hosted through eCode 360.
Most of Millcreek’s annual revenues are receipts from different taxes, including those on real property, earned income, employed persons for local services and real estate transfers. Millcreek and the Millcreek School District share equally in funds from the earned income and realty transfer taxes. Millcreek receives over $1.6 million each year from the State’s liquid fuels tax and approximately $600,000 annually from cable television franchise fees. Smaller amounts are collected from a public utility tax, license and permit fees, fines, grants, rents, income on investments and other sources.
Millcreek’s budget categorizes expenses as debt service, employee benefits, administration, tax collection, fire protection and miscellaneous expense and among its engineering, maintenance, police, code enforcement, streets and recreation departments.
The amount of money collected from the earned income tax and from realty transfer tax depends on economic conditions. The current budget anticipates minimal increases because of the slowed growth in the general economy and in the housing market.
Liquid fuels funds are paid to the State from taxes on gasoline and other fuels. Part of the tax revenues are then allocated to municipalities and are to be used in paying expenses of streets improvement, maintenance, plowing and related services. The amount of that funding is dependent on how much is collected by the State.
Local governments, like everyone else, find themselves dealing with unexpected cost increases, contractions in supply and similar economic variables. Earlier in this decade, all governments, businesses and individuals had to deal with unanticipated and significant increases in insurance costs and oil prices, affecting fuel and asphalt.
Millcreek’s Supervisors and Treasurer Mark Zaksheske have consistently adopted budgets that project revenues realistically, while holding the line on expenses. Internal controls have been adopted to discourage unnecessary spending and ensure that proposed expenses are budgeted or necessary in the circumstances. Without increasing staff, Millcreek maintains an increasing number of streets and provides quality police protection.
Millcreek has led joint purchasing efforts that have reduced costs paid for many products and materials. The Supervisors have worked with the township’s fire departments to preserve and improve volunteer fire protection services and with neighboring townships to develop an inter-municipal process for enforcing the Pennsylvania Construction Code. Because of these and other measures, property tax rates have increased minimally since 2003.
In recent years, Millcreek acquired land it is preserving as Veterans Park, in part with State grant funds. In 2009, Millcreek acquired the Erie Golf Club from the City of Erie. Originally opened in 1926, Millcreek completed extensive improvements to the property, which is now one of the finest municipal courses in the tri-state area.
Millcreek has acquired other lands to develop as regional storm water detention facilities. The six facilities help to reduce flooding from storms. Millcreek and the Millcreek Township Sewer Authority implemented costly improvements and have dealt with clean water discharges to the sanitary sewer system. Those improvements have eliminated sewage discharges, reduced flooding and sewer backups and reduced transportation and treatment costs.

Usual things are usual things or just common and found no interest among the public, but what if the usual common acts become unusual or strange?; from this the public become curious and interested.
This first month of the year 2010 ,I found the following Philippine news below unusual to Philippines’ usual norms; they are just handful, however we can add more if another unusual thing pops-out and surprising us.
(1) Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) dubbed the ongoing Philippine weather condition in the Philippines as something “strange” or unusual though they already knew what La Nina is all about. This is due because the rainy weather hops from region to region in the Philippines casting not only rains but also floods in unprecedented way, as if the weather condition has its own itinerary to follow and have a plan to do this and that which the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) find it hard to detect and monitor; Or in other words, the weather patterns is changing so quickly that is hard to monitor it accurately according to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
(2) Mar Roxas unusual role on his inclusion into PNoy’s administration as a “troubleshooter”, “water boy”, and “alter ego” of PNoynoy because PNoynoy himself never clear exactly what would be the role of Mar Roxas if he will be his executive secretary or what; which indeed cast a suspicion and curiosity among the public of what Mar Roxas will do.
Something “strange” (unusual) or something “fishy”?
(3)Philippine Sports, ”Athletes of the Year” for 2010 is surprisingly not Manny Pacquiao but rather four not-so very famous athletes, namely : (1) Francisco “Django” Bustamante for his winning at World 9-ball tournament, (2) Biboy Rivera for his another winning at World Bowling Cup, (3) Rey Saludar for his winning in boxing at Asian Games, and (4) Dennis Orcollo for his winning at similar sports disciplines with Francisco Bustamante.

Get your inner glow on. Literally.
In case you haven’t noticed, the beauty world is rife with injectable ‘tweakments’. In fact, it’s predicted that by 2020, over 1.5 million people in the UK will have had Botox or fillers and it’s already possible to completely forgo the surgical scalpel for procedures that have previously required a hefty dose of anesthetic and months of downtime, instead opting for a swift injectable treatment to the same effect.
Take the non-invasive nose job, where a cosmetic doctor injects non-permanent fillers to totally reshape the nose, or an non-surgical face lift, which involves using fillers and Botox to add volume to the cheek bones and lift the brows.
So, it seems that it was only a matter of time before skincare followed suit. Always first in line to get the deepest dose of skin-boosting ingredients, I jumped at the opportunity to trial the newest treatment in the ever-growing list of injectables – Profhilo.
Apparently, the revolutionary treatment is especially effective at treating those areas prone to laxity and sagging like the cheeks, neck, chest and décolletage.
But Profhilo isn’t just effective in the treatment of wrinkles and ageing skin – it also helps with radiance and hydration, two problems I frequently encounter.
After a consultation, Dr Prager cleans my skin before injecting the collagen-boosting liquid into five key points on my face, starting with each side just next to the ears, then on to the nasolabial fold (laughter lines around the mouth), chin, under the eyes and on the tops of cheeks.
Did you know that #Botox can be used on the lower face to tighten and support a lifted and youthful look?
Now, I’m not going to lie to you – it hurts, not a lot, but it creates an unpleasant stinging sensation which lasts around 20 seconds, so if you’re looking for a relaxing spa treatment, this might not be your vibe. As a firm believer in ‘no pain, no gain’ I grimaced through the pain and was glad when it subsided a few moments later.
I left with no visible trace of having just had multiple injections and with no downtime required - it was straight back to the daily grind. It took a few days before I started to notice any visible improvement, mainly because unlike dermal fillers, the body has to produce the skin-boosting ingredients itself, which understandably takes a while.
The radiance boost was like nothing I have experienced before from any number of creams, scrubs or serums– and it kept on getting better as my skin produced more and more collagen.
It’s recommended that you go back for a top-up appointment after one month, and repeat the process twice a year to enjoy an enduring glow - which is exactly what I will be doing.

EghtesadOnline: Iran’s Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati participated in the 34th Session of FAO Regional Conference for the Near East in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations headquarters in Rome on Thursday and Friday.
According to the minister, climate change and regional governments’ cooperation to battle its consequences, agro-ecology, changes in West Asian and African agro sectors, challenges posed by youth unemployment and migration as well as cross-border contagion of plant, livestock and fish diseases were surveyed during the event, IRNA reported.
High-ranking officials from 28 countries took part in the conference that was held from May 7-11.
FAO Regional Conferences are official forums where ministers of agriculture and senior officials of member countries from the same geographic region meet to discuss regional challenges and priority issues related to food and agriculture. The main role of the conferences is to promote regional understanding on global policies and political issues, according to Financial Tribune.

Natacha Atlas – Something Dangerous?
New York, USA – World music diva Natacha Atlas is returning with a new album, Something Dangerous?, and a new sound.
Due for release in the US on May 20th and in the UK on May 19th, the recording has been produced by (amongst others) Sugababes producer Brian Higgins and features guest appearances by Sinead O’Connor, Princess Julianna, Abdullah Chhadeh and the late Sami El Babli. There’s also a So Solid Crew remix currently doing the rounds in the clubs.
With Something Dangerous?, Natacha Atlas zips Middle Eastern music straight to the heart of current UK pop, pulling in as she does so dance music, rap, drum’n’bass, R&B, Hindi pop, film music and French chanson. The success of her earlier work, both in the Middle East and in the West, including a top ten hit in France, has shown just how alluring a musical bridging of the divide can be.
Something Dangerous? not only combines more styles than ever, but for the first time on an Atlas album it features guest vocalists, and a great deal more singing in English than she’s done before. But it’s no abandonment of Arabic; she embraces and combines the two languages, as well as Hindi and French.

Find out who your users really are.
Do you know who your users are? Mindgrub does. Our user experience team develops user personas in order to understand the people your digital product is targeting. Often, digital revenue streams are largely dependant on a successful customer experience. User personas offer one way to capture the personalities, demographic data, and use case scenarios within your target user group.
One method of creating user personas that accurately reflect possible users is ethnographic research. Ethnographic as a term means the study of individual cultures, which, when attempting to uncover who your users might be, fits perfectly. The key to implementing user personas well is to watch exactly what the user does, not what they say. Ethnographic research digs into who the person is and why they do what they do, rather than simply taking the answers they provide at face-value. This research can be done in three ways: “Charlie Rose” one on one interviews, “Fly-on-the-wall” observations, and a “Master and Apprentice” Q&A approach.
User personas were originally introduced by Alan Cooper in his book, The Inmates Are Running the Asylum. He depicted a problematic design interface, then created characters who found different problems within the system. His method of approaching software problems from a single user’s perspective was transformative. The changes he began have lead to the user-centric focus that Mindgrub champions today.

Recently the FDA requested two of its clinical research committees to determine whether bisophosphonate osteoporosis drug efficacy would benefit from a “drug holiday” in light of concern over the surfacing of unusual side effects. The drugs such as Merck’s Fosamax, Roche’s Boniva, Warner Chilcott’s Actonel and Novartis’ Recloct, are designed to prevent or reduce the impact of osteoporosis in post menopausal women, but there have been disturbing cases surfacing of unusual femur fractures and bone necrosis in jaws related to long term use.
ILLINOIS APPEALS COURT REFUSES TO ORDER ARBITRATION OF NURSING HOME DEATH CASE FOR LACK OF MUTUALITY.
Joyce Gott entered into two “stand alone” arbitration agreements with Odin Healthcare Center, a nursing home, when she was admitted. Both agreements provided that the parties would arbitrate any dispute where the claimed damages exceeded $200,000. When Ms. Gott died, her daughter brought a wrongful death case against Odin. Odin moved to compel arbitration. The Illinois Court of Appeals held that the “no waiver” provision of the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act barred the arbitration provisions. On review the Illinois reversed the decision saying that the Federal Arbitration Act preempted contradicting state law and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for further determinations.
Are business associate contracts enough protection against a vendor’s negligence with respect to the public disclosure of patient medical information? Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto is about to find out. One of its vendors, Multi Speciality Collection Services, LLC apparently posted the names and diagnosis codes of approximately 20,000 patients seen in the hospital’s emergency room in a six month period in 2009. One of the patient’s found his or her name on line in August of 2011. It had been posted along with the others since September 9, 2010 on an on-line site called Student of Fortune.
FOURTH CIRCUIT FINDS OBAMA CARE TO “TAXING" TO DECIDE.
A panel of the 4th Circuit Court of appeals has weighed in on the issue of the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act (the “Act”) colloquially known as Obamacare in the case of Liberty University et al. v. Geithner et al., 10-2347. The panel ordered the dismissal of the complaint seeking to render the Act unconstitutional under the Anti-Injunction Act (“AIA”) of the Tax Code. Justice Davis in giving the majority opinion found that the AIA stripped the federal courts of jurisdiction to render pre-enforcement decisions regarding the constitutionality of the Act. Interestingly, both the government and the plaintiffs were in agreement that the AIA did not apply.
There is a saying going around that “Healing is an art, medicine is a profession and health care is a business.” The New York Times today had an article about more M.D. physicians going to school for an M.B.A. as well as an M.D. In the 1990s there were about six academic programs that provided for joint M.D./M.B.A degrees. Now there about 65. The business of health care is complex and growing more so. More and more physicians are opting out of independent practice to join hospitals and even insurance companies and paid employees. Many new physicians are looking beyond the practice to management positions in the business of health care, which of course is where the potential “action” of the future is located. It is not enough any more to to provide the professional expertise as a physician without understanding and commanding the larger business of health care, if you want to be a player in health care.
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS FILE SUIT AGAINST CMS ALLEGING UNDUE INFLUENCE BY AMA’S RELATIVE VALUE SCALE UPDATE COMMITTEE.
Last month a group of primary care physicians from Augusta, Georgia filed suit in Federal District Court in Maryland requesting a declaratory judgment against CMS for failure to comply with management and reporting rules and other provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”) in its reliance upon the recommendations of the American Medical Association’s Relative Value Scale Update Committee (“RUC”). The extensive 74 page complaint in Paul Fisher, M.D. v. Donald Berwick, M.D. and Kathleen Sibelius seeks a declaratory judgment that the RUC is a a de facto federal advisor committee subject to the FACA. The suit is being brought on behalf of six named primary care physicians, who seek to subject the RUC to great public scrutiny and broader physician input. The plaintiffs view the relationship between the RUC and CMS to be way to cosy and likely to benefit from greater public scrutiny and input.
FEDERAL APPEALS COURT RULES ALABAMA DENTAL BOARD NOT IMMUNE FROM SUIT UNDER THE 11TH AMENDMENT.
Any agency considered to be an “arm of the state” is generally immune from liability in federal court under the provisions of the 11th Amendment to the United States Constitution. In August, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Alabama Board of Dental Examiners was not immune from liability because under state law it was not an “arm of the state.” While the immunity issue is one of federal law, federal courts defer to the state law as to whether the an entity is the State. In Miciosuki Tribe of Indians v. Fla. Athletic Commission, 226 F 3d 1226 (11th Cir. 2000), the federal court defined the analytic criteria for a determination of immunity listing 4 factors: 1) how state law defines the entity; 2) the degree of control the state maintains over the entity; 3) where the entity derives its funds; and 4) what entity is responsible for judgments against the entity.
FDA TO REGULATE MINOR SUBSET OF SMARTPHONE MEDICAL DEVICE APPLICATIONS.
The FTC has dipped its toe in the water of smartphone and ipad technology by announcing that it intends to regulate a “narrow subset” of smartphone medical devices that meet the definition of a “device” under Section 201(h) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321. In a recent news release it indicated that it intended to regulate those applications meeting the definition of device and 1) used as an accessory to an already regulated medical device or 2) that transforms a mobile platform into a regulated medical device. See 76 Fed. Reg. 43689. In its news release the FDA noted a study that indicated that 500 million smartphone users will be using health care applications in the near future. The FDA indicated that it intended to regulate those applications that create great risk when they do not work as intended. An example of a device that would be regulated is a smart phone that is converted to an ECG heart monitor.(i.e. Smartheart, a self service heart monitor).
The New York Times reported to day that a number of illegal immigrants who were receiving free care at at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta had become a bone of contention between Grady and a Fresenius Medical Care Dialysis Clinic there, with Frensius foregoing further treatment and advising patients to wait until they were in serious condition in order to force Grady’s emergency room to take them under EMTALA.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that United Health Group as agreed to acquire a Monarch Healthcare, an Irvine California physician group including approximately 2300 physicians in a range of specialties. The acquisition is by United’s subsidiary Optum Health. The fluidity and uncertainties of health care financing and strategy has led to a number of interesting events with the merger of providers with the insurance function in different and yet reminiscent echoes of managed care arrangements of the past. The Monarch deal in California in somewhat encumbered by the arcane corporate practice of medicine restrictions. The situation here would likely involve the purchase of some hard assets and a long term contractual relationship with an independent practice association.

The teenage years can be tumultuous for every family which is one of the reasons so many parents struggle with understanding when their teenager’s behavior is normal and when it points to a problem. This is especially true when the problem is clinical depression. Teenagers are moody. To parents, it can seem like they are angry at everything. Small slights like fighting with a friend can seem to block out even the best news or happiest times. Parents who are looking to help but don’t want to do more harm than good may feel like they are floundering and wondering how to tell if their teenager is depressed.
Part of the problem comes from our common use of the terms depressed, depressing, and depression. Your teen may announce that she is depressed because everyone else is going to the dance this weekend and she has to work. But that doesn’t really mean she is suffering from clinical depression. The difference is a matter of degree – depressing is today, depressed is this month. It may seem like a fine line but there are some key things that parents can look for to determine the difference between a bad day and a big deal.
There are some specific signs that parents can watch out for if they are worried about their child’s mental health. These changes generally manifest in two areas, emotionally and physically. Some teenagers will have many symptoms, others won’t. The important thing is to know the signs so that you know when it is time to take action and when it is time to take a step back.
If you suspect your teen may be having more than just a bad day, make an appointment with a mental health practitioner to have them evaluated. Since depression doesn’t normally get better without assistance, getting help as early as possible is the best course of action you can take.

3 high places, as places of worship, at first on hills and mountains, later on artificial mounds or platforms, under green trees, and in cities; still later for the chapels erected thereon, and once apparently for a portable sanctuary (decked with diverse colours) Ezekiel 16:16. The ancient worship of Israel was conducted on these high places. In the times of Samuel and David they ascended to them, descended from them, and offered sacrifices on them, 1 Samuel 9:12-25; 1 Samuel 10:5,13 (הבמה for הביתה We Dr). The custom continued in the reign of Solomon, but Gibeon was הבמה הגדולה 1 Kings 3:2-4 compare 1 Chronicles 16:39; 1 Chronicles 21:29; 2Chronicles 1:3,13. High places of Baal were also used Numbers 22:41 (E) Jeremiah 19:5; Jeremiah 32:35; of Moab Isaiah 15:2; Isaiah 16:12; Jeremiah 48:35 (compare MI27); these must be demolished Numbers 33:52 (J).

The worship of Yahweh on high places continued in Judah until the exile 1 Kings 22:44; 2 Kings 15:35; the sanctity code predicts that Yahweh will destroy them Leviticus 26:30; they were regarded as the reason for the rejection of Shiloh Psalm 78:58. The compiler of Kings, writing from the point of view of the Deuteronomic code, complains רַק הַבָּמוֺת לֹא סָרוּ 2 Kings 12:4; 2 Kings 14:4; 2 Kings 15:4,35 compare 2 Chronicles 15:17; 20:33, and praises the few pious kings who destroyed them.

Received 2011 May 30; Revised 2011 July 12; Accepted 2011 July 18.
Prediction of influenza incidence among outpatients from an influenza surveillance system is important for public influenza strategy.
We developed two influenza prediction models through influenza surveillance data of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (each year, each province and metropolitan city; total reported patients with influenza-like illness stratified by age) for 6 years from 2005 to 2010 and disease-specific data (influenza code J09-J11, monthly number of influenza patients, total number of outpatients and hospital visits) from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment service.
Incidence of influenza in each area, year, and month was estimated from our prediction models, which were validated by simulation processes. For example, in November 2009, Seoul and Joenbuk, the final number of influenza patients calculated by prediction models A and B underestimated actual reported cases by 64 and 833 patients, respectively, in Seoul and 6 and 9 patients, respectively, in Joenbuk. R-square demonstrated that prediction model A was more suitable than model B for estimating the number of influenza patients.
Our prediction models from the influenza surveillance system could estimate the nationwide incidence of influenza. This prediction will provide important basic data for national quarantine activities and distributing medical resources in future pandemics.
Influenza remains a global concern; estimates show that annual epidemics may cause <5 million severe cases and 500,000 deaths worldwide .
We established the Korean Influenza Surveillance Scheme (KISS) to monitor outbreaks of influenza-like illness (ILI) and detect new influenza virus strains in 2000 . Surveillance of ILI in KISS is based on reports made by private sentinel physicians including pediatricians, internists, and general practitioners and physicians in county public health centers. Every Tuesday these physicians report the number of patients with ILI and the total number of patients who visited during the previous week via an internet reporting system to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). ILI is defined as fever (>38°C) with cough or sore throat. KCDC designated one clinic per 50,000 persons as sentinel sites participating in KISS; 820 sentinel clinics participated in reporting ILI in 2011 .
Data collected from ILI surveillance are used to calculate national outbreaks each year and advise vaccination strategy—notably in 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic [4–6]. Despite these efforts, KISS has some limitation in that it cannot accurately estimate the nationwide number of ILI patients with data collected only from sentinel physicians, because it is not a population-based surveillance.
The objective of the present study was to model the number of nationwide influenza patients based on ILI surveillance data and to analyze the usefulness of our model to prevent influenza outbreak.
We collected ILI surveillance data of KCDC (each year, each province and metropolitan city, total number of patients reporting ILI stratified by age) over 6 years from 2005 to 2010, as well as disease-specific data (influenza code J09-J11, monthly number of influenza patients, total number of outpatients and hospital visits) from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment (HIRA) service.
We developed two prediction models and explored final number of influenza patients by region, monthly using these models.
For example, in Seoul in November 2009, we obtained a reporting rate of 0.50 (324 of 648 total sentinel sites). The estimated hospital visit number was calculated to be 213,982 from the reported total hospital visit number divided by the abovementioned reporting rate (0.50). Also, the estimated influenza patient number was calculated to be 7983 divided by above-obtained reporting rate (0.50). Next, we calculated W3 (13.57) as the value of 3rd-order polynomial regression. In the last step, we obtained 320,503 as the final number of influenza patients using model A.
In model B, the 0.50 calculated reporting rate and 15,966 estimated hospital visit number were the same as for model A. Next, we calculated W3 (17.33) as mean estimated hospital visits and estimated the number of influenza patients over 7 years, and finally obtained 319,734 using model B.
The final number of influenza patients calculated by prediction models A and B was 320,503 and 319,734, respectively, whereas according to HIRA it was 320,567 during pandemic influenza season (Figure 2). Therefore prediction models A and B underestimated the incidence of influenza by 64 and 833 influenza patients according to HIRA.
To compare differences between the numbers of predicted and real influenza patients, we applied standardized residual techniques in which no difference was demonstrated if the value range was from –2 to +2. The standardized residual was 1.00 in validation of estimation value, demonstrating no difference.
As a second example, in Joenbuk in November 2009 the number of ILI patients predicted by models A and B was 68,610 and 68,607 whereas that by HIRA was 68,616 (Figure 3). Again, the standardized residual was 1.00 as was demonstrated for the above example using data from Seoul.
Finally, we attempted to validate our model using root mean square error (RMSE) and R-square . The R-square value of model A was higher than that of model B in Seoul (model A: 0.9998; B: 0.9967) and Joenbuk (model A: 0.9999; model B: 0.9998).
We developed prediction models that were able to estimate nationwide numbers of influenza patients using data of ILI patients and hospital visit patients collected from sentinel sites. Because we know the number of reporting sentinel sites, the total number of sentinel sites, and number of patients and reported hospital visits by region monthly, we can calculate the total number of influenza patients by applying these data to models A and B.
In the above examples, compared versus real influenza patients, that predicted by models from ILI surveillance data exhibited no difference according to standardized residual 1.00. However, validation of our models using data on Seoul and Joenbuk suggested that model A was better as an influenza-estimating model. As mentioned above, as W3 will be calculated <1 after 2012 because 3rd-order polynomial regression equation is applied in model A; we constantly have to revise this model.
Although we collect and analyze ILI data weekly, we will be able to estimate the number of influenza-patients only on a monthly basis because this model uses ILI surveillance data that are charged monthly. Therefore our models will need further refinement to obtain the number of nationwide influenza patients weekly.
Although our models have certain limitations, the number of nationwide influenza patients they predict will provide important basic data for national quarantine activities and distributing medical resources, including influenza vaccine, admission beds, and so on, in future pandemics [13–15].
Although we developed only equations to estimate numbers of nationwide influenza patients in this study, it would be more useful to build a program to handle data automatically, simply, and in real time.

Main class (all grades) – Monday 7pm to 8:30pm.
Please ensure you arrive in good time, for a 10am start. I can’t guarantee late arrivers will be admitted.
Payment will be by due on Monday 19th November. Fee is £15 for white belt (10th kup) through to green belt / blue tag (5th kup).
Students who have a licence book to bring it with them to the grading.
Students put forward for grading will need to have learnt their theory. Theory sheets available here.
Littleover Taekwon-Do club is a not for profit club, but of course needs to be self funding. The fees we charge have remained unchanged for some years but now the time has come to revise them.
The cost for Monday night has increased from £3 to £4 per student. Family pricing options are still available.
Black Belt / Senior belt session increases from £3 to £5 per student. (The extra is to compensate for the smaller class size).
A full list of our fees is contained here.
To all 1st Kup (“Black tag”) students.
Black belt grading is rapidly approaching! I don’t have a date yet, but October or early November is likely.
There are only a few remaining black belt training sessions scheduled in before then. See this post. Potentially only 6, maybe 7, more sessions. I’m considering extending the Black Belt sessions to two hours (5:30 to 7:30) to get some extra practice in. Please let me know if this causes problems for anyone.
Get learning your theory! There is a lot to revise. You may find it helpful to look at the “senior theory” on the theory page. You can ignore the extra three pattern interpretations but you will need to know pretty much everything else.
Katie and I will need to decide in September who to put forward. If you can, I suggest you see if you can take advantage of extra training elsewhere, in particular during the school summer holidays. Look at this page for options.
The theory sheets have been revised. Please take a look and download / print applicable theory sheets up to your grade.
One of the main changes is the removal of the “under 12” section. All students now need to learn the same theory.
at Sutton Bonington Village Hall, St Annes Lane, Sutton Bonington, Leicestershire LE12 5NJ.
Please arrive in good time. There is car parking on site, at the rear of the village hall.
Cost is £15 for white belts (10th kups).
Katie or I will confirm if we think you are ready for grading at normal class on Monday 23rd April.
Remember to learn your theory. The theory sheets are being revised. In the meantime, you will not be penalised for any errors or omissions on the current sheets. There is one exception – please note Katie Bradford is now Katie Cureton!!!
These sessions are recommended for red belts (2nd kup) and above.
They are mandatory for red belt / black tags (1st kup) who want to progress to Black Belt.
The schedule for 2018 Black Belt sessions is as follows.

The recent exit of long-serving employee and most recently, CEO, Timothy Sloan, from Wells Fargo reminds me of two lessons I learned about business continuity from the honeybee colony. Stay with me. The first is this: when a culture goes bad it is extremely difficult to correct it through the appointment of an insider. It is not impossible, as an insider may use her organization-specific knowledge to leverage happy pockets of cultural propriety for the greater good. However, organizational familiarity and extant relationships may also hinder earnest attempts at change. Inside the hive, the insider will be of the same genetic lineage as the workers and will inadvertently convey many of the same adverse traits of the hive that a beekeeper wants to rid itself of—whether the problem is an overly aggressive and territorial hive or one that is susceptible to disease. Often, the only way to change the culture of a colony is for the beekeeper to introduce a new queen into the hive to replace the old one and begin a new cultural chapter.
This raises lesson number two—one that organizations should already be aware of given the published numbers: a preponderance of new, outside executives wash out in the first 18 months of their tenure. And the stage for their departure is determined well in advance of their final farewell. As it happens, a beekeeper cannot just introduce a new leader into the hive and expect that everything will be fine since the bees in the hive are kin (kindred spirits in organizations) and the new queen is not kin. The workers surround the new queen and exert pressure on her until she expires in a colony event called heat-balling. If you realize that a hive cannot exist without a queen, the action they are taking to rid themselves of an intrusive outsider is dramatic and potentially self-defeating. Therefore, the beekeeper has to protect the queen (she is placed in a protective cage until the workers and queen eat through a candy stopper and, after a couple days, the queen is freed) until the workers get accustomed to her presence and accept her as one of their own, even though she ultimately will transform the complexion of the hive over time by replacing current bees with new ones in her own image and creating a new signature scent and culture for the colony. It is the beekeeper’s job to protect the queen and keep her safe.
Similarly, it is any board’s job to protect a new leader as they prepare plans and begin to take steps to change an organization. In addition to helping them navigate the treacherous landscape by providing guidance and the resources needed to reconfigure the organization, the board must help identify and vanquish the dubious self-profiteers who are waiting out the changes and subtly undermining the new leader’s initiatives until they can resume their nefarious activities.
Getting back to Wells Fargo and efforts to cleanse that culture, the board must take three steps. First, it must assess the fitness of leaders throughout the enterprise, top to bottom, and retain those with traits and abilities that comport with the bank’s future. Second, it must assess the cultural risks within the organization due to “human factors” and begin to reform those areas of the company that have elevated risks. Third, the board needs to take positive steps to change the culture to one that is respectful and kind internally, and externally is considerate of customers’ needs. Because, if the bank fails this time, it will be the board’s fault.

Dalibor Jenis is an opera singer who is about to play the role of Rigoletto at the Sydney Opera House. Rigoletto is a poor character. Deformed, poor, but funny. He is an unhappy dad who cannot accept reality and lives in a small world separated from everyone. In this world lives his daughter Gilda. She is a young girl who wants to know the world, but due to the strict rules of her father, lives like a prisoner.
I am more or less happy with everything I have done up until now. I think my decisions have been right, even if sometimes they were hard. But I believe that if I had to do it all again, I would do everything as I did. I’m not the kind of person who dwells on the past. I think that too much analysis on the past could make me insecure. Insecurity in my profession is not accepted.
I am too young to understand the world. But if I was lent a magic stick and granted a wish, it would be to eliminate the armed forces and the factories that produce weapons.
My favorite place to holiday is in my hometown of Bratislava. During the year I travel the world, and so being at my home is very important to me. I love to relax with my family, as well as to go to the mountains in my little village with my friends. In the middle of nature, under the stars, watching the fire, chatting until morning.
My city, Bratislava, is very interesting. The historic centre is small and full of life. Above the Donau River there is a restaurant called the UFO. It is shaped as an oval, like a spaceship, and from there you can see the whole city from a great height.
Currently I am only reading scores. The past 6 months I have had to learn 4 new roles. I don’t have time for books right now … but hopefully in the next few months, I will be able to start reading again.
Rigoletto, Rigoletto and Rigoletto again.
I would like to continue with my job for a few more years, and then I hope to eventually become a grandfather.
Dalibor stars in the titular role in Opera Australia’s production of Verdi’s Rigoletto at the Joan Sutherland Theatre – Sydney Opera House: 6 July – 24 August 2018. For more information, visit: www.opera.org.au for details.

Rehoming a Romanian rescue dog - Introducing Fox the dog!
You may have seen my post recently about our little Archie pug, our first dog and how he came to be in our lives. It’s only fair that I do the same for his adopted sister – Fox.
After having Archie for about 3 years we came around to the idea of getting another dog. We figured it would be nicer for Archie to have some company during the day and generally speaking, two small dogs is not a huge amount more work than one small dog! I was sure this time that I wanted to adopt a dog because although we weren’t experienced enough dog owners to do it in the past, I’ve always felt bad for the fact that we got Archie from a breeder, when there are other dogs waiting to go to homes.
I used to check various dog re-homing charities regularly for any sort of dog that might be suitable for us. It was difficult to find a rescue dog that was able to be re-homed with another male dog and one that would be OK with being left for part of the day while we were at work. Then I stumbled across Beacon Animal Rescue Centre (BARC) on Facebook. They’re a small charity who rescue animals from places like Romania and, after giving them a full health MOT, bring them over to the UK to be re-homed. I can’t speak from personal experience, but I do know that public shelter dogs do not have a long life expectancy.
One particular day, out of nowhere, the charity posted about a little dog called Foxy Jenny, who was scheduled to come over to the UK but didn’t have a foster or adoptive home lined up to go to when she arrived. We took one look at her pictures and knew that we had to make enquiries.
We had to go through a vetting process and home check so that the charity could be sure they were sending her to a good home. It was equally important for us to have a trial first, because if her and Archie didn’t get on, there would be no way to make it work.
We collected her from her Foster family the following week.. and she never went back!
She has been renamed now, to Fox. When she first came to live with us we made very slow progress.. for the first few days she wouldn’t eat much, didn’t want to come in the house (luckily it was sunny outside at the time!) and was very cautious about coming near us. She didn’t seem to enjoy being touched or picked up and was too scared to sit near us for more than a couple of minutes.
Over time and after realising that we’re honestly not that bad(!) she’s come out of her shell so much. She now pings around our front room, takes over the sofa, sings little grumbly growly songs at us when she wants to be fed and she now walks off the lead. She gives the daintiest little licks and loves wriggling around on our bed. One of her favourite things to do is run full speed across our local park and zoom around in little circles before waiting expectantly at our feet for a treat. She may be small and very dainty, but she is definitely fierce – woe betide anyone who dares knock on our door.. sorry postman!
We can tell that we still have some way to go before she absolutely trusts us and feels completely comfortable, but she’s making progress every day and learning to relax and its been the most rewarding few months, ever! Giving this little lady a second chance is honestly one of the best things we have ever done.
If you’d like more information about the charity, or even want to donate to their cause, take a look at their website. At the moment, the ladies that run the charity are fundraising to help cover some of their kennel fees and debts – if you want to support them, the fundraising link is here.
