Attacking Super PACs Fueled By Anonymous Donors
By Peter Overby
Published January 4, 2012 at 9:01 PM PST
Restore Our Future, Inc.
A screen grab from an anti-Newt Gingrich ad from the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future.
A major factor in the Iowa outcome was likely a barrage of attack ads against one-time front-runner Newt Gingrich. The ads came from a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney, who won Tuesday's caucuses in the state.
Super PACs (political action committees) are supposedly independent organizations made possible by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, and other changes in election law.
And one of the super PACs — Restore Our Future — which supports former Massachusetts governor Romney, blanketed Iowa airwaves with attack ads against Gingrich in the weeks before the caucuses.
Restore Our Future spent $4 million on the ads, meaning the average Iowa TV viewer would have seen them three dozen times a week in recent weeks.
They are a major reason Gingrich, the former House speaker, plummeted from first place in the polls to a fourth-place finish in Iowa.
Restore Our Future is run by former campaign aides to Romney. But, officially, it's not part of his presidential operation.
All of the major candidates have super PACs. They raise whatever money they can get, no limits required, from corporations and wealthy individuals.
But there hasn't been any disclosure of donors since last July. And there won't be any until the end of January. By that time, four states will have decided their choice for the GOP presidential nominee.
"We have the Iowa caucuses, we have the New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida primaries, and we won't know who is donating to the organizations that were trying to knock those other candidates out," says Bill Allison, editorial director for the Sunlight Foundation, a group that promotes transparency in politics.
The super PACs stay below the radar by cherry-picking disclosure requirements from the federal election laws.
We're really turning the clock back. We will have more undisclosed money used in the presidential election than we have seen since the elections prior to Watergate.
It's absolutely legal. But not everyone in the super-PAC world agrees that the secrecy is a good thing.
Washington lawyer Robert Kelner, who advises super PACs and big donors, says that for people giving the money, the timing of disclosure is immaterial.
"They have already decided, when they chose to make the contribution to a super PAC, that they're comfortable with their name being in the public record," says Kelner.
As for the super PACs, he says they don't benefit from temporarily hiding a controversial donor.
"If it's that big an issue, then maybe the super PAC doesn't want that particular contribution in the first place," Kelner says.
And while candidates are usually desperate for every regulated contribution they can get, Kelner says the super PACs tend to be well-funded.
"They can make nuanced choices as to which contributions they want to accept and which ones they don't," Kelner explains.
No one at Restore Our Future was willing to speak on the record Wednesday. But C. Edmund Wright was. He's the spokesman for Winning Our Future, a super PAC run by former aides to Gingrich.
Wright says transparency would have made Restore Our Future — the pro-Romney super PAC — tone down its anti-Gingrich attacks in Iowa.
"Just common sense tells me that they would've given a lot less money and maybe not been quite as negative," says Wright.
Then again, Gingrich has, essentially, now shed his nice-guy persona.
On Wednesday, the Winning Our Future website featured an old ad from John McCain's 2008 campaign — "A Tale of Two Mitts" — attacking Romney. The ad took on particular relevance on the day McCain endorsed Romney's bid for the presidency.
It's a message that Winning Our Future would like to repeat with its own ads financed by its own secret donors.
Anthony Corrado, a political science professor at Maine's Colby College who has spent years studying the flow of political money, says Iowa gives just a hint of what's to come.
"We're really turning the clock back," he says. "We will have more undisclosed money used in the presidential election than we have seen since the elections prior to Watergate."
And, as in Iowa, the undisclosed money stands ready to deliver the harshest attacks.

US President, Donald Trump Blacklists South Africa And Zimbabwe, Cuts Foreign Assistance
May 2, 2018 No Comment
South Africa and Zimbabwe are set to be cut off from United States foreign aid as President Donald Trump wants to cut foreign assistance dollars to countries who don't vote with the US at the United Nations (UN).
News24 reports that South Africa received about $258 million (R3,2 billion) in the 2017/18 year according to the United States Agency for International Development (USAid).
The vast majority of the funds are spent on health initiatives.
In Zimbabwe, USAid invests nearly $100 million annually, supporting a broad portfolio of health programmes.
Every year, the US State Department compiles a report on voting practices at the UN. The report is then given to the US Congress.
This report includes a comparison between the voting records of the US and other countries on UN General Assembly records.
The report was released last week and found that of the 93 resolutions that were voted on in 2017, on average, other countries only voted with the US 31% of the time.
According to a statement from the US State Department, this is a 10 percentage point drop from 2016, "but at a rate that is historically near average".
"The American people pay 22% of the UN budget more than the next three highest donor countries combined. In spite of this generosity, the rest of the UN voted with us only 31% of the time, a lower rate than in 2016," US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said.
"That's because we care more about being right than popular and are once again standing up for our interests and values. Either way, this is not an acceptable return on our investment.
"When we arrived at the UN last year, we said we would be taking names, and this list of voting records speaks for itself. President Trump wants to ensure that our foreign assistance dollars the most generous in the world always serve American interests, and we look forward to helping him see that the American people are no longer taken for granted," Haley said.
According to the report, the country that voted the most often with the US was Israel, while Zimbabwe was the country that voted with the US the least.
The 10 countries with the highest voting coincidence with the US were Israel, Micronesia, Canada, Marshall Islands, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Palau, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.
The 10 countries with the lowest voting coincidence with the US were Zimbabwe, Burundi, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, Turkmenistan, Cuba, Bolivia and South Africa.
South Africa voted with the US on nine occasions and against it 68 times. Zimbabwe only voted with the US on six occasions and 69 times against.

Q: AWS Amplify Push Notifications with React Native There seem to be some discrepancies in the documentation as to how to implement Push Notifications. Here is the RN code from the AWS Amplify docs:
import { PushNotificationIOS } from 'react-native';
import Analytics from '@aws-amplify/analytics';
import PushNotification from '@aws-amplify/pushnotification';
import aws_exports from './aws_exports';

// PushNotification need to work with Analytics
Analytics.configure(aws_exports);

PushNotification.configure(aws_exports);

But we also need to configure Analytics as part of this, and here is that implementation from the docs:
import Amplify, { Analytics } from 'aws-amplify';
import aws_exports from './aws-exports';

Amplify.configure(aws_exports);

Note that in the Analytics implementation, there is only a single Amplify configure. But in the Push Notification docs we directly configure Analytics and PushNotifications but not Amplify. Which is it?
To add further confusion, I found this Medium post from an AWS developer advocate explaining the RN implementation a third way:
import { PushNotificationIOS } from 'react-native';
import Amplify from 'aws-amplify';
import { PushNotification } from 'aws-amplify-react-native';
import aws_exports from './aws_exports';

Amplify.configure(aws_exports);
PushNotification.configure(aws_exports);

PushNotification is imported from aws-amplify-react-native instead of aws-amplify.
Totally confused here, and welcome any clarification!
Edit: Adding that I've tried various combinations of all these with no luck. PushNotification seems to be undefined and unable to configure.

A: // UPDATE
Updated the first code snippet, because I registered 2 endpoints for one device with it.
// OLD ANSWER
The following step should work, first:
import Amplify from 'aws-amplify;
import PushNotification from '@aws-amplify/pushnotification';
import awsExports from '../../../../../aws-exports';

Amplify.configure(awsExports);
// PushNotification.configure(awsExports); // registering 2 Endpoints for one device if running this line as well

Then, remember to run
npm install aws-amplify --save && npm install @aws-amplify/pushnotification --save

Especially the second part with the @ is important.
Lastly, in componentDidMount:
PushNotification.onNotification((notification) => {
  console.log('in app notification', notification);
  notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
});

PushNotification.onRegister((token) => {
  console.log('in app registration', token);
});

This is final solution for me, battled with it for 3 days.

Die Greenside Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Sie liegt an der Royal Terrace am nördlichen Fuß des Calton Hill.

Geschichte
Die Kirche steht an einer Stelle, an der sich im Mittelalter ein Kloster der Karmeliten befunden hatte. Dieses Kloster wurde nach der Reformation in Schottland aufgegeben und das Gebäude zunächst als Unterbringungsort für Leprakranke genutzt, bevor es gänzlich verfiel.

Die heutige Kirche ist ein neugotischer Bau des Architekten James Gillespie Graham. Sie wurde am 6. Oktober 1839 fertiggestellt.

Orgel
Die Orgel wurde 1933 von der Orgelbaufirma Ingram & Company (Edinburgh) erbaut und 1964 durch die Orgelbauer Henry Willis & Sons (London) umfassend überarbeitet. Zuletzt wurde das Instrument 1993 von der Orgelbaufirma Rushworth & Dreaper (Liverpool) restauriert. Die Orgel hat 21 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal. Die Spiel- und Registertrakturen sind elektro-pneumatisch.

 Koppeln: II/I und II/II (jeweils auch als Sub- und Superoktavkoppeln), I/P, II/P (auch als Superoktavkoppel)

Google has recently announced their decision to switch to a mobile first index because of continued growth and dominance of mobile search and internet usage. Currently, Google has just one index which is based on desktop sites, the Googlebot crawls the desktop site and gathers data and information about the desktop and mobile site, but does not create a new index based on mobile sites. With the new mobile-first index, rather than basing the index on desktop sites, Google will be basing the index on mobile sites. Google will begin using the mobile version of sites as the primary sources for the index.
This change drills home the point that having a mobile-friendly site is more important than ever (if you didn't get that yet). However, if you don't have a mobile site, your site will still be crawled. Just like if you were to pull up your non-mobile site on your phone and see the full site (however small, and difficult to use it may be), the Googlebot will also pull up this site, but it will see that the site is not optimized. If you currently don't have a mobile site, this change will probably not make a significant impact on your ranking because Google has already prioritized mobile-friendly sites in search rankings and your site ranking has most likely already been affected by not being mobile-friendly.
The best way to ensure your site is mobile-optimized is to have a mobile responsive site. If your site is mobile responsive, you shouldn't face any significant issues with the roll out of the mobile-first index.
Checking your site with Google's Mobile-Friendly Test will also help you to ensure that your site is optimized for mobile users, especially if you don't have a responsive site.
Utilize Google Search Console to check that your mobile pages are able to be read by the Googlebot. You can fetch and render your site using the mobile user agent to see exactly how Google views your site and determine if there are any issues.
Your important content needs to be accessible from mobile. If you strip out content from your mobile site to make it faster, you could potentially lose traction and reach on these pages. Basically, the way Google sees it is that if the content isn't important enough for mobile, then it is irrelevant.
Optimize your site for mobile! Besides making sure you have a site that can be viewed on mobile, you also need to make sure that your site is optimized for mobile. Some of the high value ways to do this would be to improve your mobile site speed (you can test your site with Google's Page Speed Tool) and ensure that you are optimizing your content and your site for important keywords.
From all of the information available so far, the change to a mobile-first index should not affect significant changes in search rankings. Rather, Google is changing the way they look at the web to better match the way people are using it and that is mobile-first. However, businesses should recognize this change by Google as a sign of the importance of mobile optimization. For help and guidance with mobile optimization, contact Anvil today.

Is bamboo fabric antibacterial?
There are many claims about bamboo fabric, one of which is that it's antibacterial. But is there any scientific evidence to support this? I've looked at two scientific studies which specifically cite bamboo viscose (which in reality is just a viscose, also known as rayon in the USA). This is a summary of the findings.
Why does a fabric being antibacterial matter?
Let's start with why a fabric being antibacterial could make a difference to you. In a nutshell, it could help you smell less when you sweat.
Why do we smell, especially when we sweat?
Why do we sometimes get smelly? Why do clothes pong so much after a heavy session in the gym? Your body has two main types of sweat glands (eccrine glands and apocrine glands), and they produce two different types of sweat. Both types of sweat are odourless; sweat only starts to smell when bacteria turn them into other more odorful compounds. The smells are created by sweat and bacteria reacting. Bacteria are naturally present on skin and clothes. It, therefore, follows that fabrics which inhibit bacteria growth will also help reduce the intensity of body odour.
What does the research say about antibacterial fabrics?
There is evidence that bacteria growth rates are impacted by the types of fabric. The effects vary between strains of bacteria and fabric composition. Alas, it's not a simple case of natural fabrics vs synthetic fabrics. Let's take a look at two example studies.
Study 1 - Microbial Odor Profile of Polyester and Cotton Clothes after a Fitness Session
In this study, five common skin bacteria were grown on seven different fabrics (polyester, acryl, nylon, fleece, viscose, cotton, and wool). The bacterial were cultivated for 48 hours, then extracted and counted. The results can be seen in this table.
The paper concludes that broadly speaking, bacteria growth was highest in polyester and least on viscose. These bacteria types include those typically associated with body odour (e.g. Staphylococcus hominis and Micrococcus luteus ). On the face of it, this study makes a good case for viscose as an excellent fabric for underwear (undershirts in particular) but, a note of caution. The study notes that "No bacterial enrichment was seen on viscose, a textile made from regenerated wood cellulose. Viscose showed very low bacterial extraction efficiencies. Further research is needed to confirm the absence of bacterial growth on viscose." So the results are perhaps too good to be true.
There are two other results of note. The first is about wool, which had high on bacterial growth but scored low on odour intensity. That result chimes with the commonly held belief that (merino) wool is an excellent base layer if you need to wear it for days at a time.
The second concerns nylon. Nylon appears to encourage the growth of Propionibacterium spp which are known to cause an acidic, intense foot odour. Perhaps then, nylon is not an ideal mix for socks.
This study, published in the Journal of Family Ecology and Consumer Sciences, has also shown that bamboo viscose and generic viscose fabrics appear to be antimicrobial.
This study looked at whether viscose sourced from bamboo had superior antibacterial qualities over other viscose fabrics and cotton. There are claims that bamboo viscose fabrics have a unique antibacterial quality, due to an antimicrobial bio-agent called "bamboo kun". Kun is found naturally in the living bamboo fibre. Due to the kun bamboo fabric is sometimes said to be naturally antibacterial, antifungal and odour resistant. However, is some debate about whether this 'bamboo kun' property is lost in the processing of bamboo into bamboo viscose (or rayon) fabric.
This study found that bamboo viscose and other viscose both demonstrated antibacterial qualities when compared to cotton. It found that viscose from bamboo and other viscose fabrics performed the same. Sourcing the viscose from bamboo did not show any superior antimicrobial properties over other viscose fabrics. Cotton was not found to possess these antibacterial qualities.
So, according to this study, bamboo viscose does have antibacterial qualities, although this quality also applies to all viscose fabrics.
In our own smell tests...
We've also conducted our own experiment, which we call our 'smell test'. It is a simple test where we wear the same undershirt and give it a 'smell test' at the end of the day to see how many days it could go before it started to 'pong'. In our (very subjective) tests, we found that the bamboo viscose undershirt would last for about three days, whereas a cotton T-shirt would start to smell by the end of the first day. Obviously, this was in no way a scientific experiment. Still, it is in line with the results of the above two studies.
Our conclusion?
It appears, from the two scientific studies, that fabrics made from viscose do inhibit the growth of bacteria and hence could be less smelly in situations where you sweat. Conversely, polyester and wool promote bacteria growth and could make you smell more quickly. Viscose is an ideal fabric for wearing next to your skin. Not only does it feel amazingly soft, lightweight and breathable, but it also stays fresher for longer. That's why we choose it for our undershirts.

As explained in the Choosing a Major section, there is currently no mechanism for a UMBC student to declare a pre-health career interest in the way that they can declare a major. As a result, the PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office cannot identify and reach out to pre-health students in the same way that academic departments do – we rely on pre-health students to initiate a connection with us. The best way for students to make sure that they are receiving communications from the PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office is to follow our myUMBC Group (click on this link to learn how).
The PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office serves current UMBC students and graduates (alumni) of UMBC's undergraduate programs. Pre-health advising for current undergraduate students is considered Supplemental Advising, meaning that it is a secondary source of advising support for students as they plan and complete their UMBC Bachelor's degree. The primary source of advising – including authorization for course registration for upcoming semesters – is the department that administers the declared major for the student (or the Office for Academic and Pre-Professional Advising, if the student has not declared a major). This includes students who are pursuing a second degree at UMBC while they complete their prerequisite coursework for professional school, which is common among our pre-health students whose first Bachelor's degree was in a non-science field (e.g., English or Philosophy).
In the rare instance that a student who has already earned a Bachelor's degree is attending UMBC to complete only specific course prerequisites, the PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office can provide primary advising support. Typically, fewer than five (5) students on campus fall into this category each year.
Pre-health students and alumni are not assigned to a particular Health Professions Advisor. Students meet with a Health Professions Advisor who specializes in working with students who are at a particular stage in their pre-health preparation journey, those stages are:
First-Year Pre-health
These are students who are enrolled in any of the following courses: BIOL141, BIOL142, CHEM101, CHEM102
Students in these courses are considered "First-Year" pre-health students regardless of their UMBC Class Standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Second Degree)
Second-Year Pre-health
Students in these courses are considered "Second-Year" pre-health students regardless of their UMBC Class Standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Second Degree)
Pre-Applicant Pre-health
These are students who have completed all of the above courses, but are NOT actively in the process of applying to professional school.
They may be enrolled in other prerequisite courses, e.g., Physics or Biochemistry.
Non-Degree-Seeking Post-Bacc students also fall into this category
Applicant Pre-health
These are students who are applying to professional school in the Application Cycle that is currently in progress.
Members of the HPEC Cohort fall into this category
Our scheduling portal is set up to connect students to the appropriate advisor based on where they are in terms of prerequisite completion and professional school applications.

Elon Musk has lost the greatest fortune in history. Is this the end of the multi-billionaire?
Elon Musk, until recently, boasted the largest fortune in the world. The entrepreneur fell off a high horse, getting into the Guinness Book of Records. No one would like to receive his award.
Elon Musk – the richest in the world?
Elon Musk has recently become a living legend. Just two years ago, one of the richest people in the world was on the podium, ahead of Bill Gates. In 2020, the entrepreneur earned more than the entire assets of Microsoft's main shareholder. This gave him the second place among the fattest wallets in the world.
Elon Musk is a born businessman. The entrepreneur is the founder and president of several giants such as PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company. Recently, there was a lot of talk about Musk's takeover of Twitter, when he intended to impose additional fees. Now his star seems to be fading.
Elon Musk in the Guinness Book of Records
Until recently, Elon Musk could boast of numerous achievements and general recognition. In 2021, he was named Time magazine's man of the year (the billionaire reminded about this fact recently on Twitter). Now he has become famous in the Guinness Book of Records.
The organization reported that Musk had officially broken the record greatest loss of personal fortune in history. In 2021, he had USD 320 billion in his account, and in January 2023, he dropped to USD 138 billion. More than half of the loss of property made him stand out from the rest.

事情是这样的。今天李特除了一题,据说是Hard。
        我一看好像曾经见过,于是做了做,时间复杂度最后大约是O(kn)*O(logn).因为用到了PriorityQueue,里面的offer()和 poll()都是O(logn)的时间。

        总而言之就是:
        先把每个ListNode放进queue。
        然后逐个击破。每次击破,都要把小孩扔进queue。

        PriorityQueue<xx> queue=new PriorityQueue<xx>(new Comparator<xx>(){

Professional golf at Fairhaven started back in 1934 when the course played host to the Penfold Tournament.
The Club has since hosted many Open Championship Final Qualifying Competitions when the Open Championship was played at neighbouring Royal Lytham & St.Annes Golf Club. The Professionals course record of 64 was achieved by Justin Leonard in 1996, while he was playing in and leading the final qualifying rounds.
The Club is supported by an excellent Professional's shop and traditional clubhouse and bar, which offers visitors a variety of catering options. All visitors and visiting parties are welcomed on arrival, ensuring they get the most out of their day and leave feeling they have enjoyed a very special golfing experience.
Originally a 12-hole course adjacent to Fairhaven Lake in 1892 and founded as a club in 1895, Fairhaven Golf Club moved half a mile inland to its current location, in what was then Lytham Hall Park, in 1924. As the course was then very flat and without trees J.A. Steer, the then professional at Blackpool Golf Club and later of Lytham Green Drive Golf Club, and James Braid, three times winner of the Open Championship, landscaped the course by creating the hills, hollow and bunkers that have since characterised the layout. Contrary to fable there have never been 365 bunkers but there were certainly more than the present 118, as the original hollows were filled with sand which and raked until 1939.
In 1931 some re-modelling of the course was carried out by J.A. Steer to raise the standards of the course nearer to those of a championship course.
Dave Thomas, a big-hitting Ryder Cup player, was commissioned to review the course in 1977 and to make recommendations for improvement. The results of that work remain evident today in the raised profile of the bunkers, the altered shapes of the greens, the general tightening up of the course, and the planting of numerous spinneys and the spread of the rhododendrons.
Whilst consistently aiming to improve and enhance throughout its history, since 2003 the club has incorporated new bunkering and subtle course development recommended by internationally renowned architect, Donald Steel. This work has ensured the course remains a genuine test of golf in the face of advancing equipment technology and for all playing abilities.
Fairhaven Golf Club: Jan 21st. COURSE OPEN. 13th/14th/ holes closed. If you can CARRY please do so. Thank you.

'It takes just one star': Will DeMarcus Cousins fuel an NBA trend of rehabbing in the G League?
By Ben Golliver
| SANTA CRUZ, Calif.
DeMarcus Cousins will debut on Friday at the center of the basketball universe, playing in front of a celebrity-sprinkled crowd in Los Angeles and a global television audience that still can't believe he signed last summer with the back-to-back champion Golden State Warriors.
To prepare for this moment after missing nearly a year with a torn left Achilles' tendon, the four-time all-star center traveled to a funky outpost on the central California coast whose downtown is dotted by surf shops, bong emporiums and wellness studios. There, he found the Kaiser Permanente Arena, a no-frills, 2,500-seat gym surrounded by the San Lorenzo River, an auto shop and a Walgreens. The arena was built in 2012 and, according to local lore, went up in just 78 days. Unlike the half-billion-dollar palaces of professional teams, it cost roughly $10 million and once housed a women's roller derby squad. For the past two and a half years, the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State's G League affiliate, have played to a packed house. "It's a mini-Oracle Arena," said guard Damion Lee, who has logged time for both Golden State and Santa Cruz this year.
Lee's name is included on a banner near the building's main entrance: "Santa Cruz Warriors: NBA Call-Ups." The nondescript sign is a badge of honor for the minor-league franchise and a naked reminder to its players: The G League is intended to be a launchpad, not a destination. For the undrafted prospects and journeymen who live in a nearby hotel for the six-month season, the road to the NBA runs through here.
In recent years, though, G League teams have increasingly hosted high-profile NBA players returning from injury such as Cousins, whose $18.1 million contract in 2017-18 was more than 500 times greater than the standard G League salary of $35,000. These "rehab assignments" are a marriage of convenience, pairing NBA players coming off injuries with pro-level competition that can mimic the speed and physicality of the big league without taxing actual NBA players during the middle of their season.
This rise in rehab assignments is a helpful barometer for the G League's growth. Since its founding in 2001, the G League has expanded from eight teams to 27 teams, and formalized the relationships between NBA teams and their minor-league affiliates. Rather than sharing far-flung affiliates with other teams as they did in the past, most NBA teams now operate their own G League teams in one-to-one relationships. This trend has allowed NBA teams greater control over style of play on the court, sales and marketing off the court, and even the location of the franchises. Meanwhile, the NBA has expanded roster sizes and added new player designations, such as two-way contract players who can shuttle back and forth between the NBA and G League, to encourage greater investment in the minor-league product. The G League will expand to 28 teams in 2019-20 and expects to have 30 affiliates to match the 30 NBA franchises within the next 18 months.
As the G League has added and relocated franchises, the convenience factor has sharply increased. The Santa Cruz Warriors, who relocated from North Dakota in 2012, are a prime example. Pitching a rehab stint in Bismarck in mid-December? Good luck. Coordinating a 75-minute drive down from Oakland? No problem.
Proximity has mattered for other franchises, too. The Los Angeles Lakers assigned guard Rajon Rondo to their South Bay affiliate, which plays its home games at the team's El Segundo practice facility. The Chicago Bulls have placed Zach LaVine and Jabari Parker with their Windy City affiliate, which plays just 25 minutes from downtown. When the Los Angeles Clippers sent Blake Griffin to practice with their Agua Caliente affiliate last season, they hand-delivered the competition to their star by bringing in the G League players from Ontario, California, to practice at their Playa Vista training facility.
According to data provided by the G League, the average distance between an NBA team and its G League affiliate this season is 142 miles — down sharply from 452 miles in 2013-14. That geographical shift has led to a corresponding spike in rehab assignments, which have long been common practice for Major League Baseball teams and their farm clubs. From 2013-14 to 2016-17, an average of five NBA players per year were sent to their G League affiliates to aid in their recoveries. Over the past 18 months, 19 players have undertaken rehab assignments, including six all-stars.
"Rehab assignments are another value-add for the G League," said Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who began his tenure as G League president on Monday. "You can use the G League to develop your young players and coaches, but you can also give players like Cousins the opportunity to get practice and game time. We've seen Tony Parker and Brandon Knight do it, too."
Location is one-half of the equation; commitment is the other. The Warriors have purposefully merged their NBA and G League operations whenever possible, utilizing similar strategies, play calls and terminology. Santa Cruz coach Aaron Miles joined the Warriors staff during the playoffs and training camp, Santa Cruz's strength coaches are in regular contact with their NBA counterparts, and the Warriors employ a coach who is dedicated to handling the franchise's two-way contract players.

The G League affiliate also mimics Golden State's marketing approaches, utilizing the same blue and yellow color scheme and handing out the same bobbleheads and replica championship rings to Santa Cruz fans that the Warriors dispense at Oracle Arena.
This comprehensive organizational "synergy," as Santa Cruz President Chris Murphy termed it, has enabled Santa Cruz to operate at a profit and cultivate 1,200 season ticket holders. It also perfectly set the table for Cousins' rehab stint, which occurred over three sessions in December during a quieter stretch of Santa Cruz's schedule.
"Up at Golden State, DeMarcus was doing a lot of two-on-two stuff," Miles said. "[Warriors coach] Steve Kerr told me he wanted DeMarcus to get up and down. Golden State practices, but they don't do a lot of scrimmaging, it's more fine details. We wanted to give Cousins what he needed. It was big for him to just play because it's been a year or so since he was in an NBA game."
Cousins, who tore his Achilles' tendon in January 2018 as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, went through full-court, five-on-five scrimmages that featured elongated halves to test his conditioning. The Warriors sent down Rick Celebrini, their director of sports medicine, to monitor his performance and members of their digital team to capture highlights for their website. Because Golden State tapes and analyzes all of Santa Cruz's practices and games using the PlaySight and Second Spectrum video services, Kerr's management had complete and immediate access to Cousins' workouts.
While it's tempting to picture Cousins barnstorming through Santa Cruz, laying waste to the overmatched competition in front of gawking crowds, that's not what happened. Instead, he teased his younger brother, Jaleel, a 6-10 center for Santa Cruz, and impressed his temporary teammates with his passing skills and outside shooting. The practices occurred in a near-empty gym and received little media attention. "It was business as usual," Murphy said. "We could have sold hundreds of tickets to the practice, but it was pretty cool to have a player of his caliber have a very comfortable experience."
Many of the players knew Cousins from Warriors training camp, which lightened the mood and made his appearance feel routine. "It wasn't like our team is a bunch of high school kids in awe," Jaleel Cousins said. "Santa Cruz is a professional setting, and this was a professional thing. DeMarcus was trash-talking, trying to motivate guys. Like with your friends playing backyard ball, you talk (expletive). He said, 'D-up. You can't guard me.' "
Miles and his players saw Cousins moving easily as he began to work his way back into game shape. He tested his leg in various situations: setting screens, rolling to the hoop, popping to the three-point line and pivoting through traffic. Miles' eyes lit up as he described how Kerr can use Cousins: by running split cuts off the big man to utilize his passing skills, and by dumping it to him in the post to set up an inside-out game for the Warriors' shooters.
When Santa Cruz huddled after practice, Cousins addressed the team, praising their collective talent and offering encouragement. "He said to keep grinding and he thanked everybody for playing five-on-five and doing extra for him," Jaleel Cousins said. "His message was, 'You guys could have said that you have a game coming up and you wanted to focus on yourselves, but I appreciate you allowing me to join you and helping me to get back to where I was.' "
Although the Warriors elected not to assign Cousins to play in a G League game, his Santa Cruz teammates still dreamed about the possibility. Guard Kendrick Nunn laughed at the idea of Cousins intimidating G League opponents, while forward Kevin Young imagined Miles force-feeding Cousins for "crazy numbers."
To Abdur-Rahim, the concept is no joke. After all, New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee logged 32 minutes in a December game with their Westchester affiliate while on a rehab assignment, another sign that minor-league stigma is fading. "I can absolutely see NBA players playing in G League games becoming a trend," said Abdur-Rahim. "It takes just one star who wants to play and get his rhythm. Then it would turn commonplace. The structure and the resources support it right now."

Without question, Cousins' return represents one of the key mileposts of the 2018-19 season. Kerr plans to start him at center, giving Golden State a starting five composed entirely of all-stars from a season ago (the last team with such a luxury was the 1975-76 Boston Celtics). If Cousins fits in and looks healthy, the Warriors are overwhelming favorites to claim their third straight title. If there are bumps or setbacks, the mercurial Cousins — known for his arguments with officials and occasional emotional outbursts — will become a lightning rod.
Santa Cruz's players noted that Cousins won't need to carry as heavy of a burden with the Warriors as he shouldered with the Sacramento Kings and Pelicans earlier in his career. Lee said that Cousins' repeated trips to Santa Cruz showed "how humble of a person he is," and Miles spoke positively of Cousins' demeanor and leadership during his visits.
Jaleel Cousins said his brother is "in a good place mentally" because the Warriors have "given him a lot of downtime" during his rehabilitation and because his comeback represents a chance to rewrite his reputation. "He's mingled with the team and meshed with them perfectly," Jaleel said. "He's not the monster everybody tries to make him out to be."
The Santa Cruz Warriors, like the rest of the basketball world, will be tuning into Cousins' first game, but only after they try to beat the Salt Lake City Stars in front of their 68th straight home sellout. "I've played in Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Iceland," Young mused. "In Argentina, we had seven fans in the stands at one game. Some places, basketball isn't everything. Here, it's like a family and we try to mimic the Warriors organization in every way. We all want each other to succeed."
If Golden State scores big with a healthy Cousins, credit Santa Cruz with the assist.

Greece: is it finally the meltdown phase?
Greece - remember it? How much more can the beleagured population take? Unemployment has hit yet another record of 27%. Youth unemployment is at 62%. By the end of the year, it's predicted that one third of the population will be susbsisting (if even that) below the poverty level of 7,200 euro per year. That's more than 10% poorer than Albania and below the likes of El Salvador and Algeria.
The electricity network is near breaking point. Electricity theft has always been a background problem but it was mainly in the poorest areas and amongst illegal immigrants. But now, even in the richest areas, people are stealing power.
Tax intake is also declining. VAT is down particularly sharply despite a hike in the rate to 23%. People are just buying far less.
Europe 2013. Going nowhere fast.
Yet New Democracy has overtaken Syriza in the polls and confidence amongst business people has increased according to an Economist article. I think there has been a slow worsening but the reality is there is no credible alternative to belt tightening.

Lol "slow worsening". With spin like that FG should be all over you for a PR role.
Until they leave the euro, they are going nowhere.
Hey.... we got 450 jobs in E-bay today! A warehouse full of telephones and some plastic chairs...Yay.

450 "proposed" jobs. Check back on that in a while and see how many are actual jobs and how many will require workers be brought in from other nations.
Golden Dawn, which got just 0.29 percent of the vote in 2009, won 6.7 percent and 18 seats in Parliament in last year's elections and has risen as high as 14 percent in some polls, and now ranks third among Greece's political parties in voter support.

He was an ordained Presbyterian minister with a degree in music composition. Fred Rogers was an unlikely television star, but he became a beloved icon for generations of Americans. The mere mention of his name might prompt nostalgic reverie for many viewers, but in retrospect, it is quite remarkable how compatible his teachings were with the current mindfulness movement. Mister Rogers emerges as a figure both very much of and ahead of his time in Morgan Neville's fond portrait Won't You Be My Neighbor? (trailer here), which opens this Friday in New York.
The sweaters, the tennis shoes, the puppets, the piano, and the troubled children he consoled are all here. After a few years of supposedly adult life, Mister Rogers seems almost impossibly soft-spoken in the vintage clips Neville liberally incorporates into the film. Yet, it is the same Fred Rogers we also hear testifying before Congress, joking with his crew behind-the-scenes, and in his occasional specials for adults. Indeed, Neville and Rogers' family and surviving colleagues quickly establish that he was truly the real deal.
Neville, who rediscovered Rogers through his work documenting Yo-Yo Ma (a frequent guest on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) in The Music of Strangers, managed to score rare interviews with his widow and two grown sons, as well as several regular cast-members, including David Newell (Mr. McFeely of "Speedy Delivery" fame), "Officer" François Clemmons, and "Handyman" Joe Negri.
Alas, Neville does not establish the latter's credentials as one of Pittsburgh top jazz guitarists, nor does he discuss Johnny Costa's longtime role scoring the show, which is frustrating for jazz fans, but his film is not intended as a definitive history of Rogers or his treasured show. Still, Mister Rogers' musical hipness deserves its due (here's a clip of the great tenor saxophonist Eric Kloss making a guest appearance).
Regardless, Neville is more concerned with Rogers' ideas and message—and that's fair enough. Throughout the film, we hear Mister Rogers explicitly encourage children to appreciate moments of silence and to engage in reflection. Fred Rogers was Presbyterian and Thich Nhat Hanh is a Zen Buddhist, but you can certainly here a kinship between them in these classic excerpts (here and here). There are plenty of such moments in the film as well, like when Rogers invited young viewers to silently observe the passing of an entire minute (in real-time air-time). Honestly, PBS and the Fred Rogers Company could sell hundreds of thousands of units and reach millions of adults if they released a Mister Rogers' Mindfulness compilation DVD. Why spend money on dubious seminars when you can turn to one of the most trusted names from your youth?
Even if you prefer life loud and unexamined, Won't You Be My Neighbor will rekindle old affection and inspire new respect for the children's programming pioneer. Clearly, Neville was inspired by his subject, especially when he deftly employs Rogers' own listening and interviewing techniques to elevate his talking head segments into beautifully poignant moments. It just shows we can all still learn a thing or two from Mister Rogers. Enthusiastically recommended, Won't You Be My Neighbor opens this Friday (6/8) in New York, at the Angelika Film Center.

Luxembourg's Ellis Island in Dudelange
August 8, 2015 August 13, 2015 ~ eithnenight
View from the summit above Dudelange-Usines with the railway tracks and steelworks in the distance
We stand on the summit of a hill in sweltering heat.
"This is our Ellis island," says Nicolas flourishing his hand across the landscape.
"It's where migrants first came to Luxembourg and, indeed, still come."
But instead of Atlantic waves lapping beneath our feet railway tracks, bordered by disused steelworks, sweep towards France.
Dudelange-Usines railway station and disused steelworks
And, across the valley, instead of the Statue of Liberty there is a water tower, now a gallery, showing photos of the American Depression. Below us is "Little Italy' built by migrants recruited by scouts from Piedmont and further south to work in the steelworks at the end of the 19th century. The Italians built the houses spontaneously in the style they knew best. Steep narrow steps connect the two streets that weave around the hill. Some have balconies.
The houses are now painted in bright colours but, until the 1970s, when the steelworks bowed down to foreign competition, they were coated in red, white and black smog. Life for the steelworkers was not always grim. 'Little Italy' once housed 4-5000 workers, had a lively café scene, sports clubs, a grocery that still exists and of course a pasta factory. The men came before their families – sharing beds with other shift workers and gathering in large groups to be fed by the few women in the village.
On the way down the hill we stop to admire a steel sculpture donated by an Italian organization in celebration of a special centenary. In 1906 Dudelange, thanks to the number of Italian migrants, achieved city status. A steel figure, the factory boss perhaps, stands under a gateway welcoming a bedraggled line of tired, laden migrants.

Laden, weary migrants with water tower in the distance
"Some think it paints too positive a picture, " says Nicholas. "The artwork doesn't portray the exploitation that went on."
But Italians, he explains, have come a long way since then. The President of Luxembourg's parliament has roots in Dudelange. The city's mayor has an Italian name. In fact 50 % of the country's residents are non-Luxembourgers, the highest percentage in Europe and not including the children of migrants who were born in Luxembourg.
"So do Luxembourgers welcome migrants?" I ask.
"Well yes, from the start," he replies.
But there is another side to the story. In a recent referendum 80% of the Luxembourgers voted that non-Luxembourgers, who had lived in the country for more than 10 years, should not have the vote.
"It contributes to a deficiency in democracy," says Nicolas.
The non-Luxembourgers include those who work in the banks and European Union offices as well as migrants from across Europe particularly southern Europe. A third of migrants are from Portugal. And there are more recent migrants from war-torn areas such as Syria.
We clamber down to the railway station, Dudelange Usines, now the Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations Humaines. This delightful yellow stone building houses 10,000 books, journals, registers, photographs, family and other documents all beautifully archived including on line. It is a treasure trove for anyone interested in exploring their ancestors or for serious students of migration and globalisation. The Centre is open by arrangement and from Thursday to Sunday 3 – 6pm during exhibitions.

Nicolas, the sole member of staff, shows me round the present exhibition on Women and Migration. He introduces me to Umberto Cappelari, a studio photographer at the beginning of the 20th century who began to document life in Dudelange. It is thanks to him that we gain an insight into the early life of the Italian migrants. A stiff looking girl in her first communion dress holds a bible and rosary in one hand, a tall candle in the other; a woman moves trucks of steel during World War 1 and young women stand beside their market stall in front of Consumo Italiano.

Later work by other photographers show Portuguese migrants, the steel works emitting clouds of smoke, men playing cards and children playing in the doorways of smog-coated terrace houses.

The Centre's own archives are supplemented by other exhibitions of women and migration – a display of excellent photographs by local children of their mothers at work and of children with special care needs as volunteers.

The Centre may not yet have a permanent display, nor be open long hours, but it has a lively programme of events. There are Sunday afternoon talks and a recent international conference on Migration and Gender attracted 150 people from across Europe. Past exhibitions included photographs of a Tunisian artist who has integrated migrants' belongings found on the beach into his work. The next photographic exhibition is of refugees from Mali living in Mauretania in applying conditions.
"And the local community? Do they come? " I ask.
"When we have a new temporary exhibition, yes they come. And people with migrant backgrounds sit on our committee," he adds.
As Nicolas sees me out he says.
" We are all migrants. My parents came to Dudelange from the north of Luxembourg."
I stand on the station waiting for the train to take me back to Luxembourg city. My only regret is that it is too late to visit The Bitter Years in the water tower, Dudelange's Statue of Liberty. Edward Steichen who curated the exhibition was not only a famous photographer and Director of Photography at MOMA in New York but an emigrant from Luxembourg. I must come back. Meanwhile it is time to see some more of Luxembourg.

Norepinephrine Dosing Error Associated with Multiple Health System Vulnerabilities
Jeremiah Duby, PharmD, Kendra Schomer, PharmD, Victoria Oyewole, PharmD, Delia Christian, RN, BSN, CNRN, and Sierra Young, PharmD| May 26, 2021
A 65-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease was transferred from a Level III trauma center to a Level I trauma center with lower extremity paralysis after a ground level fall complicated by a 9-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm and cervical spinal cord injury. Post transfer, the patient was noted to have rapidly progressive ascending paralysis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed severe spinal stenosis involving C3-4 and post-traumatic cord edema/contusion involving C6-7. A continuous intravenous (IV) infusion of norepinephrine was initiated to maintain adequate spinal cord perfusion, with a target mean arterial pressure goal of greater than 85 mmHg. Unfortunately, norepinephrine was incorrectly programmed into the infusion pump for a weight-based dose of 0.5 mcg/kg/min rather than the ordered dose of 0.5 mcg/min, resulting in a dose that was 70 times greater than intended. The patient experienced bradycardia and cardiac arrest and subsequently died.
A Sweet Case of Hidden Hydrogen Ions
Deborah Plante, MD, and Andrea Gonzalez Falero, MD| April 28, 2021
A 24-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes presented to the emergency department with worsening abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Her last dose of insulin was one day prior to presentation. She stopped taking insulin because she was not tolerating any oral intake. The admitting team managed her diabetes with subcutaneous insulin but thought the patient did not meet criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), but after three inpatient days with persistent hyperglycemia, blurred vision, and altered mental status, a consulting endocrinologist diagnosed DKA. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) and an insulin drip was started, after which the patient's metabolic derangements normalized and her symptoms resolved. The commentary discusses the importance of educating patients and providers on risk factors for DKA and symptoms in type 1 diabetics, the use of a stepwise approach to diagnosing acid-based disorders, clinical decision support tools to guide physiologic insulin replacement, and the role of closed-loop communication to decrease medical error.
When Looks Aren't All They Appear to Be: A Medication Error in an Uncommon Indication
Kathy Ton, PharmD | October 28, 2020
A 58-year-old female receiving treatment for transformed lymphoma was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with E. coli bacteremia and colitis secondary to neutropenia, and ongoing hiccups lasting more than 48 hours. She was prescribed thioridazine 10 mg twice daily for the hiccups and received four doses without resolution; the dose was then increased to 15 mg and again to 25 mg without resolution. When she was transferred back to the inpatient floor, the pharmacist, in reviewing her records and speaking with the resident physician, thioridazine (brand name Mellaril) had been prescribed when chlorpromazine (brand name Thorazine) had been intended. The commentary discusses the use of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) to reduce prescribing errors in inpatient settings and the importance of having a pharmacist on the patient care team to avoid prescribing errors involving less commonly prescribed medications.
Direct Oral Anticoagulants are High-Risk Medications with Potentially Complex Dosing
Janeane Giannini, PharmD, Melinda Wong, PharmD, William Dager, PharmD, Scott MacDonald, MD, and Richard H. White, MD | June 24, 2020
A male patient with history of femoral bypasses underwent thrombolysis and thrombectomy for a popliteal artery occlusion. An error in the discharge education materials resulted in the patient taking incorrect doses of rivaroxaban post-discharge, resulting in a readmission for recurrent right popliteal and posterior tibial occlusion. The commentary discusses the challenges associated with prescribing direct-action oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and how computerized clinical decision support tools can promote adherence to guideline recommendations and mitigate the risk of error, and how tools such as standardized teaching materials and teach-back can support patient understanding of medication-related instructions.
Complications of ECMO During Transport
Mikael Broman, MD, PhD| April 29, 2020
A 54-year old women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was admitted for chronic respiratory failure. Due to severe hypoxemia, she was intubated, mechanically ventilated and required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During the hospitalization, she developed clotting problems, which necessitated transfer to the operating room to change one of the ECMO components. On the way back to the intensive care unit, a piece of equipment became snagged on the elevator door and the system alarmed. The perfusionist arrived 30-minutes later and realized that the ECMO machine was introducing room air to the patient's circulation, leading to air embolism. The patient became severely hypotensive and bradycardic, and despite aggressive attempts at resuscitation, she died.
A Mistaken Dose of Naloxone
Erika Cutler, PharmD, and Delani Gunawardena, MD | December 18, 2019
A 55-year-old man visited his oncologist for a follow-up appointment after completing chemotherapy and reported feeling well with his abdominal and bony pain well controlled with opioid therapy. At the end of the visit, his oncologist reordered his pain medication and, due to a best practice alert, also prescribed naloxone but failed to provide any instruction on its use. Later that day, the patient took the naloxone along with his opioid pain medication and within a minute experienced severe abdominal and bony pain, requiring admission to the emergency department.
Misidentifying the Unidentified – John Doe and the EHR
Christopher F. Janowak, MD, FACS, and Lauren M. Janowak, RN, BSN, CCRN| October 30, 2019
Two patients arrived at the Emergency Department (ED) at the same time with major trauma. Both patients were unidentified and were given "Doe" names. Patient 1 was quickly sent to the operating room (OR) but the ED nurse incorrectly gave him Patient 2's "Doe" name. The OR nurse only realized there was a problem when blood arrived with Patient 1's correct "Doe" name, requiring multiple phone calls with the ED, laboratory, and surgeon to correctly identify the patient.
Delayed Clozapine Prescription in an Elderly Man With Dementia
Candy Tsourounis, PharmD, and Katayoon Kathy Ghomeshi, PharmD| July 2, 2019
An elderly man admitted for agitation and suicidal ideation was prescribed clozapine by psychiatry. The clozapine Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program requires both prescribers and patients to be registered in an online database. A REMS-registered attending psychiatrist entered the initial order (12.5 mg). During the hospitalization, the medicine intern, who was not registered with the REMS program, titrated the dose to 25 mg daily and also wrote the discharge prescription. The outpatient pharmacist noted the intern was not registered and contacted the attending psychiatrist, who wrote a new prescription. The patient's family was unable to pick up the prescription for 3 days. During this gap in therapy, the patient experienced recurrence of paranoia and required readmission to the hospital.
E-cigarette Explosion in a Patient Room
Neal L. Benowitz, MD| April 1, 2019
A woman who required oxygen at home via nasal cannula and used a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night was admitted for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without any signs of infection. During her hospital stay, she continued to require 5 liters of oxygen by nasal cannula. Although the patient had received smoking cessation education and no longer smoked regular cigarettes, she did continue to vape with an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). Having not been told to avoid vaping in the hospital, the patient took a puff on her e-cigarette while she was receiving oxygen through her nasal cannula and sparked an explosion. She ripped off the nasal cannula, which had melted, and sustained burns to her face and hand, resulting in a prolonged hospitalization for burn care and extensive pain management.
Triaging Interhospital Transfers
Stephanie Mueller, MD, MPH| February 1, 2019
To transfer a man with possible sepsis to a hospital with subspecialty and critical care, a physician was unaware of a formal protocol and called a colleague at the academic medical center. The colleague secured a bed, and the patient was sent over. However, neither clinical data nor the details of the patient's current condition were transmitted to the hospital's transfer center, and the receiving physician booked a general ward bed rather than an ICU bed. When the patient arrived, his mentation was altered and breathing was rapid. The nurse called the rapid response team, but the patient went into cardiac arrest.
Critical Order Set Change and Critical Limb Ischemia
Brian Clay, MD| January 1, 2019
Following urgent catheter-directed thrombolysis to relieve acute limb ischemia caused by thrombosis of her left superficial femoral artery, an elderly woman was admitted to the ICU. While ordering a heparin drip, the resident was unaware that the EHR order set had undergone significant changes and inadvertently ordered too low a heparin dose. Although the pharmacist and bedside nurse noticed the low dose, they assumed the resident selected the dose purposefully. Because the patient was inadequately anticoagulated, she developed extensive thrombosis associated with the catheter and sheath site, requiring surgical intervention for critical limb ischemia (including amputation of the contralateral leg above the knee).
Supervision and Entrustment in Clinical Training: Protecting Patients, Protecting Trainees
Olle ten Cate, PhD| November 1, 2018
An ICU patient with head and spine trauma was sent for an MRI. Due his critical condition, hospital policy required a physician and nurse to accompany the patient to the MRI scanner. The ICU attending assigned a new intern, who felt unprepared to handle any crises that might arise, to transport the patient along with the nurse. While in a holding area awaiting the MRI, the patient's heart rate fell below 20 beats per minute, and the experienced ICU nurse administered atropine to recover his heart rate and blood pressure. The intern worried he had placed the patient's life at risk because of his inexperience, but he also felt uncomfortable speaking up.
Written Signout: It Only Works If You Use The Right One
Kheyandra Lewis, MD, and Glenn Rosenbluth, MD| November 1, 2018
Early in the academic year, interns were on their first day of a rotation caring for an elderly man hospitalized for a stroke, who had developed aspiration pneumonia and hypernatremia. When the primary intern signed out to the cross-cover intern, he asked her to check the patient's sodium level and replete the patient with IV fluids if needed. Although the cross-covering intern asked for more clarification, the intern signing out assured her the printed, written signout had all the information needed. Later that evening, the patient's sodium returned at a level above which the written signout stated to administer IV fluids, and after reviewing the plan with the supervising resident, the intern ordered them. The next morning the primary team was surprised, stating that the plan had been to give fluids only if the patient was definitely hypernatremic. Confused, the cross-cover intern pointed out the written signout instructions. On further review, the primary intern realized he had printed out the previous day's signout, which had not been updated with the new plan.
The Risks of Absent Interoperability: Medication-Induced Hemolysis in a Patient With a Known Allergy
Jacob Reider, MD| October 1, 2015
After leaving Hospital X against medical advice, a man with paraplegia presented to the emergency department of Hospital Y with pain and fever. The patient was diagnosed with sepsis and admitted to Hospital Y for management. In the night, the nurse found the patient unresponsive and called a code blue. The patient was resuscitated and transferred to the ICU, where physicians determined that the arrest was due to acute rupturing of his red blood cells (hemolysis), presumably caused by a reaction to the antibiotic. Later that day, the patient's records arrived from three hospitals where he had been treated recently. One record noted that he had previously experienced a life-threatening allergic reaction to the antibiotic, which was new information for the providers at Hospital Y.
Baffled by Botulinum Toxin
Krishnan Padmakumari Sivaraman Nair, DM| August 21, 2015
A 5-year-old boy with transverse myelitis presented to the rehabilitation medicine clinic for scheduled quarterly botulinum toxin injections to his legs for spasticity. Halfway through the course of injections, the patient's mother noted her son was tolerating the procedure "much better than 3 weeks earlier"—the patient had been getting extra injections without the physicians' knowledge. Physicians discussed the risks of too-frequent injections with the family. Fortunately, the patient had no adverse effects from the additional injections.
It's Sarah, Not Stephen!
Urmimala Sarkar, MD, MPH| October 1, 2013
Although the mother of a child, born male who identified as and expressed externally as a girl, had alerted the clinic of the child's preferred name when making the appointment, the medical staff called for the patient in the waiting room using her legal (masculine) name.
Finding Fault With the Default Alert
Melissa Baysari, PhD| October 1, 2013
An epilepsy patient's discharge plan included phenytoin to be taken once daily. The prescribing physician was somewhat unfamiliar with the electronic medical record (EMR), didn't notice that the default frequency for phenytoin was "TID," and overrode the resultant computerized alert about the high dosage.
DRESSed for Failure
Erika Abramson, MD, MS, and Rainu Kaushal, MD, MPH| September 1, 2013
After a new electronic health record was introduced without automatically transferring patients' allergy information to the corresponding fields, a woman was given an antibiotic she was allergic to, which resulted in her being admitted to the intensive care unit.
A Picture Speaks 1000 Words
Robin R. Hemphill, MD, MPH| September 1, 2013
Admitted to the hospital after hours, a patient with a history of type A aortic dissection had his CT scan read as "no acute changes." However, the CT scan had been compared to a text report of a previous scan, rather than the images. The patient died several hours later, and autopsy revealed the dissection had progressed and ruptured.
Dropping the Ball Despite an Integrated EMR
Ben-Tzion Karsh, PhD| March 1, 2011
A patient requiring orthopedic follow-up after an emergency department visit missed his appointment, and a secretary canceled the referral in the electronic medical record to minimize black marks on the hospital's 30-day referral quality scorecard. Because the primary physician did not receive notice of the cancellation, follow-up was delayed.

Megadeth cancels Halloween concert in Denver
Lead singer Dave Mustaine says he has started treatment for throat cancer.
Author: Alexander Kirk

Updated: 7:00 AM MDT June 19, 2019
DENVER — Rock band Megadeth has announced the cancellation of their upcoming tour dates after lead singer Dave Mustaine was recently diagnosed with throat cancer.
Megadeth says fans with tickets for the band's Denver concert at Fillmore Auditorium on Friday, Oct. 31 will receive a refund at point of purchase.
Mustaine issued a statement regarding his cancer diagnosis:
I've been diagnosed with throat cancer. It's clearly something to be respected and faced head on - but I've faced obstacles before. I'm working closely with my doctors, and we've mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate. Treatment has already begun.
Unfortunately, this requires that we cancel most shows this year. The 2019 Megacruise will happen, and the band will be a part of it in some form. All up to date information will be at megadeth.com as we get it. Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP.
Meanwhile, Kiko, David, Dirk and I are in the studio, working on the follow up to Dystopia – which I can't wait for everyone to hear.
I'm so thankful for my whole team – family, doctors, band members, trainers, and more.
I'll keep everyone posted.
Dave Mustaine
