How do I enroll in the Mississippi Donor Registry?
There are three ways to enroll in Mississippi's Donor Registry.
What's the difference in having a "heart" on my license and having a Mississippi Organ Donor Card?
They are one in the same. If you register at the Department of Public Safety, they will signify your registration by adding a small red heart to the bottom of your license. If you register at msora.org/register, then you will receive a Mississippi Organ Donor Card.
Who can enroll in the Mississippi Donor Registry?
Mississippi residents who are at least 18 years old.
If you are 17 years old, you may register as an organ donor when you obtain your driver's license, however, your parents will make the final decision up until age 18.
Who can be an organ, tissue and eye donor?
Why is it important to ensure your family is aware of your decision to donate?
Sharing your decision to become a donor is just as important as making the decision. Joining the Mississippi Donor Registry is more than just an expression of interest in becoming a donor. It is consent for organ, eye and tissue donation upon your death. Losing a loved one is an emotional time for family members. If they are aware of your decision, it will avoid confusion on end of life decisions. It's also important to tell family members about your decision because medical and social history is needed at the time of death, and the next-of-kin will be approached for that information.
Once you enroll with the Mississippi Donor Registry, your donor designation grants legally-binding authorization for organ, eye and tissue recovery. Should you be in the position to donate, your next of kin will be presented with documentation of your registration but will not have the power to override your decision. It is important to tell your next of kin or healthcare power of attorney of your wishes so they will be prepared to cooperate with the health care team about your medical history.
With the Mississippi Donor Registry, your desire to donate is stored in a secure, confidential database.
Do not rule yourself out. The fact that you want to be a donor is something to be celebrated, and we encourage you to register your decision with pride. In the event you are in a position to be an actual donor, medical specialists will evaluate your medical history to determine your potential to donate.
How do you ensure that someone is not enrolled without his or her knowledge or consent?
Of the dozens of state donor registries now in operation, to date there have been no reported problems with persons registering people other than themselves. The authenticity of the registrant can be determined using the date/time of the registration and the personal information requested during the enrollment process. Family members are also consulted at the time of donation and will be able to verify the donor's information at that time.
I have an advance directive authorizing donation of my organs. Should I also enroll?
Yes, take the opportunity to enroll. Due to the rapid and emotional nature of events surrounding sudden death, often times families do not have time to check legal documents prior to being approached about donation. However, since the Mississippi Donor Registry and National Donor Registry are checked in all potential donation cases prior to approaching the family, recovery personnel are able to share proof of registration with family members at the time donation is discussed with them.
Is it possible to restrict my donation from specific groups?
Federal law does not allow you to restrict your donation to or from specific groups or classes of individuals.
What if something should happen to me while I am traveling out of Mississippi?
Each state recognizes and accepts your donor designation as a legally binding document. Outside of the United States, organ donation comes under the jurisdiction of each country's respective laws.
What is organ, tissue and eye donation?
Organ, tissue and eye donation is the process of recovering organs, tissue and eyes from a deceased person and transplanting them into others in order to save or heal the lives of those in need. Up to eight lives can be saved through organ donation. Another 50 – 75 lives may be improved through tissue donation. The vision of two people can be renewed through eye donation.
There are currently around 120,000 people in America waiting for organ transplants. Each day approximately 22 people die waiting for an organ transplant that would have given them a second chance at life with their families. A person is added to the national transplant waiting list every 10 minutes. In addition, each year hundreds of thousands of people benefit from donated tissue and corneal grafts that are used for life-saving, sight restoring and reconstructive purposes.
Who is responsible for managing the organ donation process?
Most of the state of Mississippi is served by the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency (MORA). MORA is responsible for facilitating the donation process. Organ recovery and allocation is regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Organs are allocated nationally based on a complex medical formula that is established by transplant doctors, public representatives, ethicists, and organ recovery agencies. UNOS (the United Network for Organ Sharing) maintains the list of patients waiting for a transplant. A donor's blood type, tissue type, body weight, and size are matched against patients on the list. If there are multiple matches, priority is given to the sickest patients or, in the case of kidneys, those who have been on the waiting list the longest.
Only through a written form. You may choose to donate only specific organs or tissues, including eyes. By choosing to donate any or all transplantable organs and tissues, including eyes, you will be helping the most people who can thrive from your gift.
If a family member or friend is in need of an organ, can I specify that he or she is to receive it?
Specifying that an organ go to a specific individual is called "directed donation." Directed donation is legal, but it must be done at the time of donation and must be directed to a recipient who is actively listed with a transplant program. (Organs may not be directed to a group of individuals.) Directed donation is best supported by an advance directive or may be granted by next of kin at the time of donation.
No! Medical and nursing care are not affected in any way by your status as a registered donor. Every attempt is made to save your life.
In most cases, organ donation occurs when a patient suffers a traumatic brain injury resulting in brain death. After all life-saving efforts have been exhausted, and it is determined that the patient's death is imminent, only then is organ donation considered.
Under what circumstances can a person be a tissue or eye donor?
Virtually all deceased persons, regardless of cause of death, may potentially be tissue or eye donors. Once a death is reported to the local recovery agency, protocols require that the family be contacted within a few hours regarding the opportunity to donate.
What tests will be conducted on my body to determine my potential to donate?
Once death has been declared and authorization is received through the donor registry (or from the family in lieu of a registration), medical professionals must conduct tests to determine whether the patient is suitable to be a donor. Blood tests and other standard medical procedures determine the patient's blood type, organ function, exposure to transmittable diseases, and tissue typing for the purpose of matching organs to recipients. These tests are medically necessary in order to save as many lives as possible.
Can organs, tissues or eyes be sold?
No. Buying and selling organs, tissue and eyes for the purpose of transplantation is illegal in the United States. Under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act of 1984, human organs, tissue and eyes cannot be bought or sold, and violators are subject to fines and imprisonment. This strict regulation prevents any type of "black market" for organs, eyes and tissue in the United States. Medically speaking, illegal sales are impossible because recovered organs, tissue and eyes must be appropriately matched to recipients and distributed according to national policy established by United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
Is my family or estate charged for donation?
No. There is no cost to the donor's family for organ, tissue and eye donation. Once death has been declared and authorization is confirmed through the donor registry, or from the family in lieu of the registry, all costs associated with organ, tissue and eye recovery are assumed by the organ, tissue and eye recovery organizations. Hospital expenses incurred before the donation of organs or tissues in attempt to save the donor's life and funeral expenses remain the responsibility of the donor's estate.
Who pays for donated organs and tissue?
All costs associated with recovery are assumed by the organ, tissue and eye recovery organizations. These costs are then reimbursed by transplant centers (who in turn bill private and public insurance plans) and by Medicare, in the case of kidney transplants.
Will my family be paid for the recovery of my organs and tissue?
No. Donor families do not receive payment for organ, tissue and eye donation. In the United States, it is illegal to sell human organs, tissue or eyes.
What if my family members are opposed to donation?
Once an individual has made the decision to be an organ, tissue and eye donor and has joined the Mississippi Donor Registry, that individual's decision is honored. At the time when donation is possible, family members will be informed of their loved one's wish to donate and walked through the process so they will know and understand how the recovery agency will carry out the deceased's decision to be a donor. In the event of a loved one's sudden death, it will ease the family's pain to already know the wishes of their loved one regarding donation. For this reason we recommend that you share your wishes with your family today.
Is donation compatible with my religious beliefs?
Though the answers vary from one denomination to another, research has found that all major Western religions do support donation and transplantation.
Does donation affect funeral arrangements?
No. The body is treated with great respect and dignity throughout the process, and the donor's appearance following donation still allows for an open-casket funeral. Once the organ, tissue and eye recovery process is completed, the body is released to the donor's family (or, if legally required first, to the local medical examiner's office). From the time the donation process begins, the entire process is usually completed within 24 to 36 hours, and the family may then proceed with funeral arrangements.
Will your family know who gets your organs and tissue?
Confidentiality is provided both for the donor families and the recipients. The recovery agency can act as a liaison if the recipient wishes to correspond anonymously with the donor family, or vice versa. It is only after extended anonymous communication, and the agreement of both parties, that the names are released.

Objective Biomechanics: Lumbopelvic complex, hips and knees is the first and essential class in my education line. All of the other classes base their principles on the structural keys that you will learn in this seminar.
Please read the full description in the informational box below. Also, make sure to read the prompted "Terms and conditions" page as you book your attendance.
Objective Biomechanics is an education line that focuses on the utilization of principles rather than modalities. Principles are universal, whereas modalities are not. Thus, learning the principles of an optimal structure will allow the practitioner to visualize the body and pinpoint dysfunction in a highly efficient, as well as result-producing manner, in a vast array of situations.
These principles will correct some of the profound causes of pain that we commonly see in the general population clients. Why do muscles get weak? Why do disc injuries occur? Etc. It is, however, an approach that requires a greater degree of effort from the client, as their habitual pattern must be changed. The results from doing so, however, can and will often lead to dramatic improvement; even when dealing with long-standing pain syndromes. Because this module applies structural principles, it will also allow you to assess and treat your own problems.
Because the taught principles can be implemented into virtually all situations, it will allow the practitioner to also evaluate movement patterns and identify dysfunction in scenarios that may priorly have been difficult due to lacking expertise in the given sport, hobby, or similar.
After each class, you will be able to immediately use the material you have learned. There will be plenty of practice in the classes. You will easily regain your investment, plus more, by utilizing these principles in your clinical practice.
This is the way one should teach biomechanics. Kjetil invented completely new, science based and clinically proved protocols for many various conditions which were poorely treated untill now.


Balfour Castle, built in 1847-48 and designed by architect David Bryce, sits on the Isle of Shapinsay. The interior owes much to a team of 30 Italian craftsmen. It is visible from Kirkwall on Mainland Orkney where you can get a ferry to the island.
Following the death of David Hubert Ligonier Balfour who left no heirs, the castle was acquired in 1961 by the Zawadzki family and run as a hotel for many years, but was sold to new owners in 2009. It now operates as an exclusive use venue - click here for details. Visits by appointment only.

Note: For this blog series we will talk about a multi-tenant application as an application in which two or more tenants are served software by a set of resources. A "tenant" in this case is a group of users with common access to a dedicated share of the data, configuration and resources of the system. For an overview on reducing complexity in multi-tenant applications, read Part 1 of this series, Multi-Tenant Applications: Reduce the Complexity.
Create a database and extend the V and E super classes with ORestricted. ORestricted is a special property that will now be appended to all vertexes and edges in the graph and is used to restrict access to those entities.
Create users and roles in that database. OrientDB allows you to create roles that can then be assigned specific permissions (All, Read, Update, Delete). You are then able to create users who are assigned to those roles. With this robust security model you can not only isolate one tenant from another but also enforce application roles within a single tenant. For example, administrators can modify master data but all others can only read it.).
Finally, create a new graph for each tenant and associate a user/role with it. When you connect as a specific user, you will automatically be restricted to viewing only the Partitioned Graph associated with that user.
Since the partitioning of the graph occurs at the low level within the core of OrientDB, this approach also has the advantage of being enforced on other clients such as those using Gremlin or the Java API. However, there is a price to pay here as each record returned by a query has a low-level hook that is called to process the security model. In most cases this is not a problem, but if you have a complicated security model such as those containing multiple levels of inheritance, the cost to process these can become noticeable.
Note: An excellent walkthrough of how to create Partitioned Graphs is available here.
Security is applied even when coming from other clients.
All customers are in the same database so they are vulnerable to the Noisy Neighbor Problem.
One of the unique features of OrientDB is Clusters, which allow you to specify how the data in each class (vertex) is grouped on the physical disc. By creating a separate cluster for each class per tenant, you can physically isolate one tenant's data from another. One major drawback to using this methodology is that due to the class inheritance structure you will also need to logically isolate that tenant's data. This means that you must explicitly include that tenant's cluster identifier in each query. The added need for logical isolation increases the developmental complexity of this method but allows for additional flexibility.
For example, given a database with a class called Customer, you would create a custom cluster for each tenant Customer_Tenant1, Customer_Tenant2, etc., as they are added to your system. You would include the cluster identifier in each query to limit the results to just a single tenant's data, e.g., SELECT FROM cluster:Customer_Tenant1.
One advantage of using this methodology is that aggregating data across all tenants is as simple as only using the base class name in the query instead of the tenant cluster identifier, e.g., SELECT FROM Customer.
Tenant's data is logically isolated, but clusters can be stored on separate physical discs if desired.
The query optimizer knows how to optimize queries for use in clusters.
Data is easily aggregated across tenants.
Developmental complexity is significantly increased by the need to include the cluster identifier in order to assure data isolation.
Tenants are susceptible to the Noisy Neighbor Problem, which can be mitigated by migrating tenant clusters to different physical discs.
OrientDB has the capability to run multiple databases on a single OrientDB server. You can leverage this functionality to give each tenant in your system a unique database. This provides each tenant with complete physical isolation of their own from other tenants' data while allowing you to leverage a shared infrastructure. This simplifies the development of applications by removing the need to worry about handling any logical isolation but adds some additional complexity to the operational aspects of the system. With this method you will have to coordinate database upgrades/migrations, handle tenant resource concerns, as well as handle routing tenants to different databases. While all of these operational aspects are well understood and not unique to OrientDB, it does add to the overall workload required to make this method work efficiently.
Tenant's data is truly isolated; databases can even be stored on separate physical discs if desired.
Tenants are susceptible to the Noisy Neighbor Problem, which can be mitigated by migrating tenants to different servers.
OrientDB has robust support for both physical and logical isolation using a variety of different methods. Each of the options presented here have pros and cons but each are also the right fit for certain use cases. If you are looking to completely physically separate tenant data, then you should look into using Separate Databases. If you are fine with only a logical separation of data, then Graph Partitioning is probably the best option. If you end up needing something in between, then you can look at Clustering as the possible solution.

Me chillin with my feet on her table. How rude, right. She didn't mind.
She's going to kill me for posting this one but hey, I thought it was only fair since I look as equally jacked up! Note to self: taking pictures while laying on the floor is NOT flattering!
Some things never change. When we were little girls we spent all our time doing this same thing in the bathroom in our hometown.
WTF?! We look slapped. Oh well.
I made her pose for this. I was going for the sunset but I was laughing too hard when I took the picture.
I love this picture of you, Khristina. I haven't seen this look of peace on your face in along time.

The Hair Hole: REVIEW: Queensryche - "Redemption" vs. "Cold"
I hold Queensryche in very high regard. Wait. Let me rephrase. I hold a certain era of Queensryche in very high regard.
Their debut, the 1983 Queensryche EP, kicks off what I consider a flawless string of progressive metal masterworks culminating with 1994's Promised Land. The creative arc displayed by these six albums is staggering. This was a band that had it all. Amazing musicians, phenomenal songwriters, and one of the greatest voices on the planet in Geoff Tate. In his prime, Tate was simply untouchable. Forget Dickinson. Forget Halford. Tate killed them both.
Over the course of three albums (The Warning, Rage For Order, Operation: Mindcrime) Queensryche created the blueprint for modern progressive metal and inspired a raft of bands from Fates Warning to Crimson Glory to Dream Theater in the process. OK, there was also Siam, Lethal, and Hittman as well. This was a cutting edge sound that mixed intelligent lyrics with classically inspired arrangements in a distinctly heavy metal framework. It was cinematic and futuristic and it beget an entire genre of music. Of note, Operation: Mindcrime is still considered one of the greatest concept albums ever recorded and is frequently listed alongside The Who's Tommy and Pink Floyd's The Wall. That's how good it is.
Some fans claim the creative decay began to take root by 1990's Empire and dismiss Promised Land altogether. Not this fan. In my opinion, Promised Land is the last true epic the band produced. It was dark, introspective, experimental, heavy. A complete 180 from the commercially oriented Empire opus. Promised Land would have been the perfect farewell album. I've always viewed it as the end of a journey. This could have been a glorious summation to an amazing career. But as we know, it wasn't.
Queensryche would go on to release six more studio albums. Some were good (Hear In The Now Frontier, Tribe) some were decent (Operation: Mindcrime 2, American Soldier) and others were horrible (Q2K, Dedicated To Chaos). None were classics. The biggest issue plaguing many of these later era records (besides the absence of founding guitarist Chris Degarmo) was the shift from epic song structures to a more stripped down sound. Following 2003's Tribe, many of the hallmarks of the Queensryche sound had been abandoned in favor of a more simplistic approach both production-wise as well as vocally. The fan base was split between those pining for the glory days and those willing to accept the new Queensryche as a band adhering to the very definition of progressive music.
It's an extremely thin line a band must tread in order to balance creative growth with a core sound. If you lean too far away from that core sound you risk losing the fan base you've amassed over the breadth of your career. Yet, if you remain stuck in one particular muse you risk stagnation. The last ten years saw Queensryche leaning further and further away from their core. As a progressive band they were expected to evolve...but they were also expected to retain those elements that made them great in the first place.
I continued to support the band during this uncertain period because there was always something to enjoy on each release. You just had to be patient. These later albums were not immediate. Often, it would take me dozens of spins to connect with certain tracks. Q2K comes to mind. I spun that album a hundred times. Most of it still does nothing for me. I wanted something to move me like the classics did. I was willing to put the effort in as a listener to find those hidden gems. The band deserved it. However, it was becoming harder and harder to defend them. When Dedicated To Chaos arrived, I knew the end had finally come. Apparently, so did 4/5 of the band.
Last year, the band (Wilton, Rockenfield, Jackson, Lundgren) fired Geoff Tate and enlisted ex-Crimson Glory belter Todd LaTorre to handle vocals. Tate countered with a decision to continue with his own version of the 'Ryche. The drama that continues to unfold is better suited to a reality show than this blog. There's no need to rehash it here. Bottom line: the world has two Queensryches until November 2013 when the courts decide who's entitled to the name.
Now, with the existence of two Queensryches, we have two debut singles from two versions of the upcoming "13th Studio Album." Which record ultimately keeps the 'Ryche moniker remains to be seen, but for now, let's assume both bands are Queensryche and both songs are Queensryche songs.
The title says it all. The first thing I notice on this track is the stellar production courtesy of James Barton. It's dynamic. Aggressive. Vital. Classic, yet modern. This is the type of progressive arrangement Queensryche hasn't attempted in a long time. It sounds like an updated take on Mindcrime. No complaints here. La Torre recalls classic Tate but brings his own distinct rasp to the fore as well. He's grittier. Nastier. There's just a lot of passion in these vocals. That's something we haven't heard on a 'Ryche release in years. Overall, this is full of ideas, great performances, and a killer vocal. This sounds like Queensryche and I can't wait to dive into the whole album.
This isn't a bad song. It also isn't a Queensryche song. Production-wise, it pales in comparison to Redemption. It's muddier. Grungier. It's definitely in line with what Tate was doing on Dedicated To Chaos and his last solo album Kings And Thieves albeit better than anything on those releases. Don't get me wrong. It's got a strong hook and perhaps with a better vocal and production it might have been a hit for some younger, hungrier act. That's the central problem. There's no urgency. No passion. Tate sounds bored. He clearly isn't enamored with this genre anymore. Still, I find the song memorable. Unfortunately, it bares little resemblance to classic 'Ryche which is my primary reason for dismissing it. This really should have been released as a Tate solo track. Good, but destined to be forgotten.
Geoff Tate's Queensryche releases their album, Frequency Unknown, on April 23rd. Todd La Torre's version of the band releases their as yet unnamed album on June 11th.
It's a shame how, if you took the best elements out of each song and combined them in the right way, you might end up with the best work Queensryche has put out in decades. Queensryche was no more about gritty vocals than they were about the grunge sound. Even more amazing is, if you took the best of these two songs and combined it, then added the input of Chris DeGarmo ... wow.
Too bad the folks that count don't seem to understand that.
You couldn't have said it better by saying that Tate sounds bored. QR has sounded that way ever since Tribe. I think it should be noted as well that a lot of the reason Tribe was so good was the fact that Degarmo helped write so much of it. I've always thought that QR should use the formula for Tribe on future records. Bring in Degarmo to help write but since he doesn't like touring anymore (allegedly), let Parker tour and play his parts.
I like both songs but Todd La Torre gives back to the band what they had when they started Queensryche, energy and drive. I've seen Tate two summers ago and La Torre last December and my personal opinion is that La Torre surpised me and brought back the energy and vibe like Queensryche had back when they were on tour with their first five albums. I never thought anyone could pull off performing the vintage Queensryche songs and yet bring thier own flavor of vocals and performance to the band. While I'm not a lawyer or judge deciding who keeps the name Queensryche, I personally would rule that the remaining original members get to keep the name for reasons Tate was fired from his position and replaced. Just my opinion, I don't know who has naming rights or owns the rights to the songs which could have a major impact on who gets to keep the name.
Todd has a great voice.
No point in making him sound exact like Geoff.
I've always been about the voice in following Queensryche but that being said, I need to see some class in the acts I listen to and so far Michael, Eddie, Scott & Parker have shown a lot more class than Geoff. I'll be seeing Tate and his crew in Sacramento and will make my decision of which band to follow there. And it won't be as much about the music as attitude and maturity. If I hear him bad mouthing his former band members and calling their fans names between songs I'll just walk out of the performance and give my allegiance to the other Queensryche.
alter bridge for example is recording AB IV and meanwhile singer miles kennedy helped Slash building hies sound haha two great albums are the result... so throw away the question of who is the real Queensryche and enjoy the two albums for what they are each ... LOVE IT !!!
Redemption doesn't strike me as QR at all, apart from the carbon-copy young-Tate vocals. And I'm not sure how anyone can think Dedicated to Chaos is worse than American Soldier, but whatever. I like DtC a lot actually. Cold doesn't sound anything like DtC or Geoff's latest solo stuff... or old QR, granted, but it is Geoff Tate. The voice is the key, and he's the Geoff that has evolved with QR. Take them for what they are, past and recently-parted past alike. QR has never been a 'metal' band and now I feel both versions are straining to produce the heaviest album they can conceive and it pisses me off. They're prog, not heavy metal. Always been that way. Probably never will be again, though.
Hmmmm. I like em both after giving em a second listen. Will wait for both albums to come out I think, but by the sound of it they could be flipsides to each other, which is good in my eyes.
Cold is simply not a Ryche song; guitars are not QR, drums neither, bass neither. It's a Tate song.
