Steamboat Orleans v. Phoebus
36 U.S. (11 Pet.) 175
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF
THE UNITED STATES FOR EAST LOUISIANA
Admiralty. It is very irregular and against the known principles of courts of admiralty to allow, in a libel in rem and quasi for possession, the introduction of any other matters of an entirely different character, such as an account of the vessels earnings or the claim of the part owner for his wages and advances as master.
The admiralty has no jurisdiction in matters of account between part owners. The master, even in a case of maritime services, has no lien upon the vessel for the payment of them.
The jurisdiction of courts of admiralty in cases of part owners having unequal interests and shares is not and never has been applied to direct a sale upon any dispute between them as to the trade and navigation of the ship engaged in maritime voyages, properly so called. The majority of the owners have a right to employ the ship on such voyages as they please, giving a stipulation to the dissenting owners for the safe return of the ship if the latter, upon a proper libel filed in the admiralty, require it, and the minority of the owners may employ the ship in the like manner if the majority decline to employ her at all.
The admiralty has no jurisdiction over a vessel not engaged in maritime trade and navigation, though on her voyages she may have touched at one terminus of them in tidewater, her employment having been substantially on other waters.
The true test of its jurisdiction in all cases of this sort is whether the vessel is engaged substantially in maritime navigation or in interior navigation and trade, not on tidewaters.
The jurisdiction of courts of admiralty is limited in matters of contract to those and those only which are maritime.
The case of The Steamboat Jefferson, 10 Wheat. 429, 6 Cond. 175, cited and approved.
By the maritime law, the master has no lien on the ship even for maritime wages. The case of Peyroux v. Howard, 7 Pet. 343, cited.
The local laws of a state can never confer jurisdiction on the courts of the United States. They can only furnish roles to ascertain the rights of the parties, and thus assist in the administration of the proper remedies where the jurisdiction is vested by the laws of the United States.
Thomas Phoebus, who was the owner of one-sixth part of the steamboat Orleans, on 30 November 1835, filed a libel in the District Court of the United States for the District of Louisiana against the appellants, who were the owners of the other five-sixths of said chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
Page 36 U. S. 176
boat alleging that he had been on board of said boat as master and part owner, but had been dispossessed by the other part owners, who were navigating, trading with, and using said boat contrary to his wish, and, as he conceived, to his interest, and therefore he desired no longer to be part owner with the other proprietors; that he had amicably demanded the sale of said boat, and that he might receive his portion of the proceeds; that the other owners refused to do this, and were about to send her up the Mississippi on another trip against his wishes; that the boat lay in the port of New Orleans, where the tide ebbs and flows and within the admiralty jurisdiction of the court; therefore he prayed that the boat might be sold and one-sixth part of the proceeds paid to him, and that the other owners might account to him for the earnings of the boat to the day of sale.
The appellants filed their claim denying the jurisdiction of the court over the subject matter of the libel, and denied that said boat navigated water where the tide ebbs and flows, and alleging that she navigated only between New Orleans and the interior towns on the Mississippi and its tributary waters, that she was not a maritime boat, and was never intended to navigate the high seas, and if the court should be of opinion it had jurisdiction, then they denied the merits of the case. At the same time, one of the crew of the boat, while she was in possession of Phoebus, filed a libel against her for wages. In that suit, Phoebus filed a claim against the boat for wages as master, and for necessaries advanced by him for the boat while he acted in that capacity. These charges he was permitted by agreement of parties to transfer to his own suit as though they had made a part of the case stated in his libel.
On 15 April 1836, the district court rendered a final decree which directed a public sale of the boat; that the libellant, Thomas Phoebus, should receive one-sixth of the proceeds; a year's wages at $1,500 a year and the further sum of $345.60 for necessaries furnished by him, with costs of suit. The claimants appealed to this Court. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
MR. JUSTICE STORY delivered the opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from the district Court of the District of Louisiana. Thomas Phoebus, who is the owner of one-sixth part of the steamboat Orleans, filed a libel on the admiralty side of that court against Forsyth and others, who are the owners of the other five-sixth parts of the same steamboat, alleging himself to be a part owner and master of the steamboat and that he had been dispossessed by the other owners, who were navigating, trading with, and chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
using the boat contrary to his wishes; that he wished to have an amicable sale of the boat, but the other owners refused and were about to send her up the Mississippi on another trip against his wishes; that the boat then lay at New Orleans, within the ebb and flow of the tide and within the admiralty jurisdiction of the court; therefore he prayed admiralty process against the boat and that the boat might be sold and one-sixth part of the proceeds be paid to him, and that the other partners might account to him for the earnings of the boat to the day of the sale.
The appellants (the claimants and owners of the five-sixths) appeared and in their answer admitted the title of the libellant to the one-sixth part. But they denied the jurisdiction of the court, alleging that the boat did not navigate waters where the tide ebbs and flows, but that she navigated only between New Orleans and the interior towns on the Mississippi River and its tributary waters. They further alleged that she was not a maritime boat, and was never intended to navigate the high seas. They further answered, and in case their objection to the jurisdiction should be overruled, they alleged certain matters to the merits upon which it is unnecessary to dwell, as our present discussion will be confined exclusively to the questions of jurisdiction.
It seems that subsequently a libel was filed against the same boat by one of her crew for wages. In that suit, Phoebus also filed a claim for wages as master and for necessaries advanced by him for the boat while he acted as master. These charges were, by the agreement of the parties, allowed to be transferred to the present suit, and of course were to be treated as if they had been alleged in the original libel. It may be here proper to state that it is very irregular, and against the known principles of the courts of admiralty, to allow in a libel in rem and quasi- for possession (as the present libel assumes in some sort to be) the introduction of any other matters of an entirely different character, such as an account of the vessel's earnings or the claim of the part owner for his wages and advances as master. In the first place, the admiralty has no jurisdiction at all in matters of account between part owners. In the next place, the master, even in case of maritime services, has no lien upon the vessel for the payment of them. So that in both respects these matters belonged ad alium examen.
But to return to the question of jurisdiction. There is no doubt chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
that the boat was employed exclusively in trade and navigation upon the waters of the Mississippi and its tributary streams and that she was not employed or intended to be employed in navigation and trade on the sea or on tidewaters. And the wages of the master, and the advances made by him, for which he now claims recompense out of the proceeds of the steamboat, are on account of voyages made on such interior waters. Under these circumstances, the question arises whether the district court had jurisdiction, as a court of admiralty, to entertain either the original libel or the claims in the supplementary proceedings. We shall shortly give our opinions on both points.
And in the first place, in respect to the original libel. The jurisdiction of courts of admiralty in cases of part owners, having unequal interests and shares, is not and never has been applied to direct a sale, upon any dispute between them as to the trade and navigation of a ship engaged in maritime voyages, properly so called. The majority of the owners have a right to employ the ship in such voyages as they may please, giving a stipulation to the dissenting owners for the safe return of the ship, if the latter, upon a proper libel filed in the admiralty, require it. And the minority of the owners may employ the ship, in the like manner, if the majority decline to employ her at all. So the law is laid down in Lord Tenterden's excellent Treatise on Shipping. Abbott on Ship. part 1, ch. 3, § 4-7. If, therefore, this were a vessel engaged in maritime navigation, the libel for a sale could not be maintained.
But the case is not one of a steamboat engaged in maritime trade or navigation. Though in her voyages she may have touched at one terminus of them in tidewaters, her employment has been substantially on other waters. The admiralty has not any jurisdiction over vessels employed on such voyages in cases of disputes between part owners. The true test of its jurisdiction in all cases of this sort is whether the vessel be engaged substantially in maritime navigation or in interior navigation and trade not on tidewaters. In the latter case, there is no jurisdiction. So that in this view, the district court had no jurisdiction over the steamboat involved in the present controversy, as she was wholly engaged in voyages on such interior waters.
Secondly, in respect to the wages and advances claimed by the libellant. They are for services not maritime and for disbursements not maritime.
Under such circumstances, the admiralty has no jurisdiction, chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
for its jurisdiction is limited, in matters of contract, to those and those only which are maritime. This was expressly decided by this Court in the case of The Steamboat Jefferson, 10 Wheat. 429, which substantially on this point decides the present case.
There is another ground equally fatal to the claim of the master for wages, which has been already alluded to. By the maritime law, the master has no lien on the ship even for maritime wages; a fortiori the claim would be inadmissible for services on voyages not maritime.
But it is said that the law of Louisiana creates a lien in favor of the master of a vessel engaged in voyages like the present, and if so it may, upon the principles recognized by this Court in Peyroux v. Howard, 7 Pet. 343, be enforced in the admiralty. That decision does not authorize any such conclusion. It that case, the repairs of the vessel for which the state laws created a lien, were made at New Orleans, on tidewaters. The contract was treated as a maritime contract; and the lien under the state laws was enforced in the admiralty, upon the ground, that the court, under such circumstances, had jurisdiction of the contract, as maritime; and then the lien, being attached to it, might be enforced, according to the mode of administering remedies in the admiralty. The local laws can never confer jurisdiction on the courts of the United States; they can only furnish rules to ascertain the rights of parties, and thus assist in the administration of the proper remedies, where the jurisdiction is vested by the laws of the United States. In this view of the point of jurisdiction, we do not think it necessary to decide whether, by the local law of Louisiana, the master had a lien on the steamboat for his wages or not, nor whether, if such a lien existed by that law, it could be applied to any steamboats not belonging to citizens of that state for services not rendered in that state.
Upon the whole, our judgment is that the district court had no jurisdiction of the libel or its incidents, and therefore that the decree of the district court must, upon this ground, be
Reversed and a mandate awarded to the district court to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction.
Decree reversed.

What started out as a one night stand has turned into the best decision of Sam's life after he marries the formerly straight man of his dreams, Cody. When his new husband tells Sam he has a special surprise for him on their honeymoon Sam can't help but wonder what he has in store for him. Secluded from the rest of the world in the cabin they built together in the mountains surrounding Las Vegas, the two men begin their life together with plenty of passion and love.
Ann is Queen of the Castle to her wonderful husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened. From a young age she's been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.

PG rated Excerpt:
The big engine of the quad-cab truck thrummed and Sam relaxed back into the comfort of the passenger seat as Cody down shifted into second gear. They drove deeper into the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest outside of Las Vegas, and the steep road narrowed down to one lane. An old rock ballad played from the radio, and Cody leaned over to turn it up, humming along with the song. Sam wanted to open his window to let in some of the fresh air, but the truck threw up clouds of dust as they drove along the gravel road. Not that he minded. The dust caught the late afternoon sunlight shinning through the juniper and spruce trees that surrounded them on all sides and turned it into gold.
As beautiful as the forest was, nothing kept his gaze from the blond man beside him. He turned in his seat and eyed the new steel and gold ring on Cody's work-roughened hand. He'd placed the band there less than ten hours ago in a small ceremony back home in Vegas. Cody sang along with the radio, his golden beard catching the light. The low timbre of his voice warmed Sam from the inside out and he thanked his lucky stars that he'd found his mate.
If someone had told him two years earlier that he'd be on his honeymoon with the handsome construction foreman, he would have laughed his ass off. Everyone knew Cody loved women and women adored him, so they'd had been stunned when it became public knowledge that he and Sam were dating. Cody liked to say that his love for his boyfriend went beyond rules, beyond any easy explanations. They were simply meant to be.
Without taking his eyes from the road, Cody reached out and grabbed his hand, running his thumb over Sam's calloused palm. "Did you remember to pack the towels?"
"Yep. And the washcloths."
"Good, I don't want to have to dry myself off with those ridiculously expensive sheets of yours again."
He clenched his teeth at the memory of finding his then-fiancé drying off with a fitted sheet after a hard day of working on their cabin together. "Those were thousand thread count Egyptian cotton sheets that I picked out just for our cabin!"
"A thousand threads, huh? Well they didn't absorb water worth shit." He stole a glance at him, barely hiding a smile. "And why do they gotta be Egyptian cotton? What's wrong with American cotton?"
He closed his eyes and shook his head. Cody enjoyed making fun of the stereotype that all construction workers were ignorant rednecks. He'd helped Sam pick the sheets out, spending hours together selecting just the right colors for the bedroom of their dream vacation home.
The truck hit a hole in the road and Sam's head thumped against the window. "Ow!"
"Sorry 'bout that," the blonde man said and gave him a wink. "You just look so damned good. I can't keep my eyes on the road."
He snorted, but his heart warmed and he lifted their linked hands to his mouth, sucking on the tip of the Cody's thumb. "Well we can't have that. I'd hate to have our honeymoon end with a fiery crash down the side of the mountain." He laved the tip with his tongue before pulling it out with a pop. "Yep, you really should pay attention to your driving."
He shifted in the driver seat and tried to subtly adjust his bulge. "You're not helping."
Sam glanced out the windshield, as familiar with the winding road to their cabin as his own backyard. Heck, he should be. They'd made over four dozen trips up and down the mountain as they built their log cabin on the edge of the National Park. Their ultimate mountain retreat was almost complete, and he couldn't think of any place he'd rather spend his honeymoon than surrounded by the solitude of the wilderness and Cody.

sorry that is incorrect. as_txt works, as does the graphviz format. html format hangs; svg format is hung right now. Layouter is hanging. What should I start throwing overboard to lighten my balloon? Redundant edges?

I think the graph is just way too complex for my simple layouter. However, it will provide a nice testcse for debugging, maybe the hang is a true hang (aka endless loop) instead of just a veeery long computation time. I'll have a look at the weekend. To get a sense of the layout, you can run it through: graph-easy mygraph.txt --png (nees grapviz installed) and look at the resulting mygraph.png file to see how Graphviz renders it.

Last week, in the midst of the New England Patriots run for the second ever undefeated season in the National Football League, a player from the Pittsburgh Steelers (next opponent) guaranteed victory for his team. This guarantee, made on national television, raised a few eyebrows (and fists) within the New England fan and media sets.
Today I sat in my living room and watched the Patriots methodically dismantle the Steelers, offensively and defensively. As the final minutes of the game ticked away, a chant from the home field Patriot fans could be heard to grow: "guar-an-tee, Guar-an-tee, GUAR-AN-TEE!, GUAR-AN-TEE!!, GUAR-AN-TEE!!!." It became so loud that we watching from home could clearly hear it through the TV and feel a tingling urge to join in.
As I sat there, marveling at the perfect timing and context of this rebuke, I began to think about how sports game chants work. Stadiums fill up with tens of thousands of cheering and shouting fans. Many of these individuals are eager to start cheers and when they do, other fans listen. If they like it, they pick up the cheer; if they don't, they ignore the cheer. The favorite cheers build momentum and burst into the thundering "GUAR-AN-TEE" that was heard today. Cheers with poor conception, bad timing, or little relevance are lost in the shuffle.
Stadiums are big cheer-factories that combine the thought-power and judgment of thousands upon thousands of fans. With this massive level of collaboration, is it any wonder that they deliver without fail?
What's the point you might ask? The point is that if Bob Craft (Patriots owner) wanted to produce great cheers that his fans liked, his best bet would be to access their knowledge and preferences. In stadiums, this process happens automatically, but in businesses it doesn't. If you're interested in having the best ideas and products (cheers) at your company (stadium), take the time to listen to and collaborate with your customers (fans).

Q: Creating array and writing to excel column using Range function using Python I would like to create a data container on the fly in my python script (based on calculations), and then write this to a column within excel using win32com client and the range() function. I can successfully do this for a row, but cannot do for a column. The hard coded code I basically want to do is like following:
import win32com.client as win32
from win32com.client import Dispatch

Excel=Dispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
ws = wb.ActiveSheet
data_container = [5],[6],[7],[8],[9]
ws.Range(ws.Cells(11,9),ws.Cells(15,9)).Value = (data_container)

The tricky part for me, is creating a data_container that I can create on the fly. I know there is a lot on stackoverflow about tuples, data dictionaries and lists, but I cannot work it out and am confused (if I see the warning "tuple is immutable" one more time!!!!!!). Whenever I create something like the following, it just outputs the first item in all of the cells (i.e below fills all cells with 5).
data_container = []
data_container.append(5)
data_container.append(6)
data_container.append(7)
data_container.append(8)
data_container.append(9)
ws.Range(ws.Cells(11,9),ws.Cells(15,9)).Value = (data_container)

I could loop through and write to each cell, however don't want to do this due to time limitation. I know there are probably other python addons you can use, but I want this to be usable on many computers that do not necessarily have all these addons that can prevent people using my script.........I like the simplicity of using the win32com setup and have most items working except for this.
Ideally, I would like to have a number of columns stored in 1 dictionary/list/matrix/array......and be able to write to one range referencing a certain part of the data container. For example:
ws.Range(ws.Cells(11,9),ws.Cells(15,9)).Value = (data_container[0])

Where data_container[0] contains [5],[6],[7],[8],[9]......
The ultimate of what I want to do, is to read a number of columns (not necessarily in order) into a data container, make modifications, and then write back to a number of columns (again not necessarily in order).
I appreciate all the building blocks for this are probably on stack overflow at present, i just havn't been able to pull them together over the few days I've been trying to nut this out. Any help is appreciated.

A: I was fortunate to get someone from work to spend some time helping me, but might be useful for anyone else as reference. Below seems to work. Issue was creating the array/list structure. I think fundamentally below I have created a 3D array/list? Below code creates this structure all with 5, then modifies only two cells and writes back to two separate columns. This might be obvious to others, but wasn't to me.
import win32api
import os
import sys
import win32com.client as win32
from win32com.client import Dispatch

if __name__ == "__main__":
Excel=Dispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
ws = wb.ActiveSheet

data_work = [[[5] for i in range(10)] for j in range(10)]
data_work[0][2] = [500]
data_work[1][4] = [45]
ws.Range(ws.Cells(1,9),ws.Cells(9,9)).Value = (data_work[0])
ws.Range(ws.Cells(1,12),ws.Cells(9,12)).Value = (data_work[1])

1 hour Lecture by Grace Nadolny, MD on 4/20/13 in Modesto, CA, CME provided by Sutter Gould Medical Foundation as part of it's Subspecialty Lecture Series. 4 hours total of CME was provided. Part of the 4 hours of CME included discussion about back pain and ovarian cancer.
I have learned some of this before in my NeuroScience years at Brown University. It was good to review.
I have an acupuncture practice which has a good number of patients with depression.
Anatomically there is decreased amount of gray matter in the brain. Decreased size of Cortex and Hippocampus has been found.
glutamatergic theory of depression: exposition to stressful stimuli increases hippocampal glutamatergic neurotransmission and triggers excitotoxic changes.
Monoamine hypothesis is considered old school: deficiency in monoaminergic neurotransmission. Monoamines being Catecholamines (NE, DA) and Indolamines (5-HT).
Officed based – what is done after a patient fails first line treatment for depression?
Level 1 through Level 3 choices in medication to switch to.
After the lecture: What about Acupuncture for Depression?
I asked Dr. Nadolny about what she thought of acupuncture for depression. And she seemed very excited. She said that she didn't know that acupuncture was readily available in Modesto, CA. I do hope to recommend some of my patients to Dr. Grace Nadolny in the future and other psychiatrists too, because I feel that at times combination treatment with acupuncture and excellent psychiatric care would be of greatest benefit.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on the topic of Depression. These are notes from a lecture that I took and feel free to use this as a springboard for your own studies.

Orlando Murder of Sgt. Debra Clayton (Markeith Loyd)
Post subject: Re: Orlando Murder of Sgt. Debra Clayton (Markeith Loyd)
Ocala prosecutor Brad King to stay on Markeith Loyd case
By Gal Tziperman Lotan | Orlando Sentinel | March 28, 2017
Ocala-based State Attorney Brad King will remain the prosecutor for accused murderer Markeith Loyd while Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala, who was removed from the case after deciding not to seek the death penalty, appeals her removal in civil court. Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Frederick Lauten made the ruling at a hearing Tuesday morning.
Gov. Rick Scott asked Ayala to recuse herself from the case, and when she declined to do so, he issued an executive order appointing King.
On Tuesday, Loyd said he wanted Ayala to stay on the case.
Ayala said she still plans to appeal the governor's order, and asked Lauten to halt proceedings for two weeks while she prepares an appeal. She appeared in court with Roy Austin, a former federal prosecutor and deputy assistant to the president for the Office of Urban Affairs, Justice and Opportunity under former President Barack Obama's administration.
Loyd's family sat on the other side of the courtroom, wearing T-shirts with photos of Loyd on the front with the words "My security, my son." The backs of the shirts had a photo of a bandaged-up Loyd after his arrest, with the phrase "Stoppolicebrutality."
Loyd, who was kicked in the head by law enforcement when he was arrested outside a vacant Carver Shores home in January, has in past court hearings complained of headaches and damage to his eye.
Lauten on Tuesday ordered that a doctor evaluate Loyd to see whether his injuries make him incompetent to stand trial or to decide whether he wants to represent himself. Loyd told the judge he will not cooperate with the doctor.
"I can't force you to speak to him, but I will ask you to speak to him," Lauten said. The doctor will also be able to review some of Loyd's medical records, Lauten said.

Markeith Loyd Status Hearing 03/28/17 56min
Markeith Loyd: Now I want a lawyer, but it must be my pick
By Rene Stutzman, Stephanie Allen | Orlando Sentinel | April 3, 2017, noon
Accused cop killer Markeith Loyd on today reversed course and told a judge that he now wants a lawyer, but only a specific one from Miami.
For weeks, Loyd had insisted that he wanted to represent himself. He did not want a lawyer, not even a stand-by attorney, someone who would answer his questions and help prepare his case.
Today, however, he asked Chief Judge Frederick Lauten to appoint Terry Lenamon, a Miami criminal defense attorney.
"He can do whatever he wants," Loyd
If Lauten says yes — something he said he was inclined to do — he would be bending two local rules.
Typically indigent defendants can't hand pick their attorneys. They get the one appointed by the court. Usually it's an assistant public defender. In this case, however, the public defender has a conflict of interest. So does the "conflict counsel," the public law firm that handles criminal cases when the public defender's office has a conflict of interest.
The second rule Lauten may bend for Loyd is one that requires Orange and Osceola county judges to appoint attorneys who live in those two counties.
Lenamon does not.
Last week, despite Loyd's objections, Lauten appointed Orlando attorney Roger Weeden as stand-by counsel.
Today Weeden encouraged the judge to appoint Lenamon, someone Loyd's family has talked to. Weeden said he would work with Lenamon on the case.
Lauten made no final decision on Lenamon and set another hearing for April 12, saying he wants the South Florida attorney, as well as other attorneys in the case, to return to talk about scheduling, an exchange of evidence and other matters.
Markeith Loyd Motion to appoint Miami Lawyer
This is the judge's ruling on Loyd's motion to appoint a high profile attorney from Dade County (Terence Lenamon) to represent him, and the state pay for it. Judge denies motion, citing that Lenamon is not on the list of attorneys in Orange Co. There are two stand-by attorneys in the courtroom willing to represent Loyd .. Wheeden and a female atty.
The judge finally appoints Wheeden as counsel after Loyd agrees. BUT he agrees only after Wheeden mentions that he may get Lenamon on the case as co-chair defense.
At 13:10m Lloyd interrupts and addresses the Judge about another motion he has filed, then he says "I'm done" and attempts to walk out of the courtroom.
This is an hour long hearing, but the issues that they discuss are interesting. Newly appointed attorneys now have trial date conflicts, motions are tossed in the air to land on a certain day.
This judge is one of the most lenient and accommodating judges I have ever seen. This is going to be a trial to watch.
Another hearing is set for next Monday.
Markeith Loyd Hearing to Appoint Counsel 04/12/17
Markeith Loyd emails to police chief confirm blindness in one eye
By Rene Stutzman, David Harris | Orlando Sentinel | April 5, 2017
An email sent to Orlando police Chief John Mina by one of his lieutenants confirms that accused cop killer Markeith Loyd is blind in one eye because of the force used by officers who arrested him.
At 5 a.m. Jan. 18, Lt. Dan Brady sent Mina an update on Loyd's condition at the hospital.
"[Orlando Regional Medical Center] needed to perform surgery on his left eye and as a result the doctor said he will be permanently blind in his left eye," Brady wrote. "This was as a result of the injuries Loyd received during his response to resistance."
Police released a tape of Loyd's Jan. 17 arrest that showed one of the officers kicking Loyd in the head after he crawled out of the home in which he was hiding, saying that they used force because he resisted. The email confirms what Loyd has said in court about the extent of the injury to his eye.

Exclusive: Markeith Loyd texts ex-girlfriend 'hope you don't' live after shooting her, documents show
By David Harris, Gal Tziperman Lotan | Orlando Sentinel | April 24, 2017
Minutes after shooting his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Markeith Loyd sent her a text message saying he hoped she died, court records released Monday show.
"Don't know if you go make it hope you don't," he texted Sade Dixon about 20 minutes after the fatal shooting. Hours later he texted, "you caused this" and blamed her brother — who also was shot — for intervening.
Investigators found a 10-page letter in the house where Loyd was hiding after, they say, he shot and killed Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton. It was signed by Loyd and gave a detailed account of why he shot Dixon and said killing their unborn child was an "unintended consequence," according to a summary of the letter.
The text messages and account of the letter were part of hundreds of pages of evidence filed by the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office in the case against Loyd in the slayings of Dixon and Clayton.
Loyd wrote he was upset she was smoking while pregnant, while she accused him of cheating on her.
He told her that he wanted to talk with her about the situation.
"All you had to do was answer my calls but you was doing you," he texted.
About 20 minutes later, Loyd showed up at her house on Long Peak Drive, shot her to death and critically wounded her brother, Ronald Stewart, prosecutors allege. He also shot at her mother and another brother, according to court documents, but they were not injured.
Not one bit of news on Loyd for months, only ...
He received two red-light tickets while sitting in jail. (an error)
Two white cops stopped Aramis Ayala on a traffic matter. (millions of articles on this)
Aramis Ayala is the black State Attorney who announced she would not be seeking the death penalty for Loyd, then Gov. Scott gave 23 of her homicide cases to another state attorney, one being Loyd's.
She is suing Gov. Scott.
I did read in one of the most recent articles about the lawsuit that Loyd is suspected of SIX other murders.
Markeith Loyd absent as trial dates set in killings of pregnant ex-girlfriend, police lieutenant
By Krista Torralva | Orlando Sentinel | December 6, 2017
When Markeith Loyd is in court, a heavy security presence follows. Those in the courtroom brace for what the garrulous murder suspect will say. At past hearings, he has been profane, demanding and uncooperative.
Not Tuesday. Loyd displayed a new kind of defiance by refusing to attend his court hearing.
Chief Judge Frederick Lauten told attorneys that he could order Loyd to be forcibly removed from his jail cell and brought to the courtroom if they wanted.
Markeith Loyd to judge: 'I don't wanna talk to you'.
Loyd's lawyer, Roger Weeden, opted to proceed without his client since they were discussing administrative issues. He told the judge Loyd communicates with him during jail visits.
Loyd is slated to stand trial for Dixon's death in September 2018. On Tuesday, the judge scheduled the trial in Clayton's killing for Jan. 14, 2019. Loyd faces the death penalty.

Despite lofty ideals, U.N. causing more harm than good
Peter G. Pollak
When the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991, there was hope of a new world order with nations united on behalf of world peace. Thirty years later we're still waiting. The main obstacle, ironically, is the United Nations. It's time to replace that failed institution with an organization of nations dedicated to human rights and free elections.
The U.N. was designed to replace another failed institution — the League of Nations. Among other defects, the League was unable to prevent the Second World War. The U.N. hoped to remedy the underlying defects, but instead has institutionalized an equally damaging flaw by giving voting power to nations that routinely violate their citizens' civil and religious rights and/or interfere in other nations' governance.
The flaw is the notion that nations that disregard human rights will reform themselves if they're granted the right to vote in U.N. affairs. That theory has proven as wrong as Neville Chamberlain's attempt to stop Hitler by giving in to his demands — i.e., appeasement.
By granting voting power to human rights violators, the U.N. appeases violators while attacking Israel, a country that extends full rights to all of its citizens.
You might agree that the United Nations is flawed, but assert it's better than nothing. I believe the harm it does is worse than its small contributions, but more importantly there is a model for a world family of nations that could accomplish over time the objectives an international peacekeeper should strive to achieve.
The model has many ideological roots. One root is science fiction author Orson Scott Card's "Free Peoples of Earth," an entity based on two principles: nations must join by plebiscite rather than by government decree, and people in those nations must be free to choose their own religion.
The people of today's Earth are not ready for a nationless world. Rather, we need an international organization that is open to all nations, but only gives voting rights to those countries that grant its citizens universal suffrage, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press. Further, all citizens must receive equal treatment by law without regard to race, gender, age, or other distinctions. A final requirement would be to exit the U.N. and remove its presence in their countries.
The United States should begin the move to create a Free Nations of the World by ending financial support for the U.N. and dismantling its New York City headquarters. The former members of the British Empire as well as members of the European Union would have no difficulty meeting the above requirements. Other nations are likely to follow when they see the U.N. no longer meets their needs.
A final justification for the establishment of a new international organization is the failure of the U.N.'s peacekeeping role, and the overwhelming desire of the American people to no longer be the world's policeman. A FNW would have the power of economic sanctions to pressure nations to stop aggressive interference. It would also assemble a military made up of soldiers from its member states whose mission would be to prevent nonmembers from interfering in other nations' internal affairs if economic pressure fails.
Medical doctors don't leave cancerous tumors in our bodies in hopes that good cells will overcome the bad. On that same principle we cannot continue to allow the existence of the United Nations, which despite its lofty ideal is causing more harm than good. Taking out a political tumor, however, need not be the end of the operation. A new international organization whose voting members meet human rights requirements can be the force for world peace that the League of Nations and United Nations hoped to be but failed to accomplish.

[. . .] Messenger molecules may be amino acids, peptides, proteins, fatty acids, lipids, nucleosides or nucleotides. Hydrophobic messengers bind to intracellular receptors that regulate or influence expression of specific genes.
A ligand binds its receptor through specific weak non-covalent bonds by suiting into a specific binding site or "pocket." Binding of most of cognate receptors where a ligand has low concentrations means a high receptor affinity and low receptor affinity happens when a high concentration of the ligand is needed (Department of Biology). Prolonged exposure to a ligant, and the resulting occupancy of the receptor, often results in desensitization. Desensitization depends on receptor down-regulation through the removal of the receptor from the surface or by changing to the receptor that will lower the affinity to the ligand or disable it in initiating changes in cellular function (Department of Biology). Desensitization may likewise develop tolerance, which reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of some medicines when over prescribed.
A proteins are guanine-nucletide-binding that change the target protein's activity (Department of Biology 2003). Their receptors possess an extra-cellular N-terminus and a cytosolic C-terminus, which are separated by seven trans-membrane alpha helices, in turn, connected by peptide loops. The cytosolic loop between the 5th and 6th alpha helices binds a specific G. protein (Department of Biology).
A proteins that are bound to GTP are active, while those bound to GDP are not (Department of Biology 2003). These proteins are classified into large heterotrimeric and small monomeric G. proteins. When a messenger binds the heterotrimeric G. protein-linked receptor, it changes shape to allow linking with the trimeric G. protein (Department of Biology).
Many G. proteins make signal transduction events a diversified affair. Some bind potassium or calcium ion channels in neurotransmitters, while some either release or form major second messengers, such as cyclic AMP and calcium ions (Department of Biology 2003). Still some activate kinases. cAMP os produced by adenylyl cyclase, embedded in the plasma membrane and activated by binding an activated alpha subunit of the Gs G. protein. Phosphodiesterase progressively decreases cAMP in the absence of the ligand and active G. protein, thus reducing cAMP levels. Protein kinase A is a cAMP-dependent kinase, which is cAMP's main intracellular target (Department of Biology).
A protein signaling is quite important because its disturbance or disruption leads to several human diseases (Department of Biology 2003). For example, the micro-organism vibrio cholerae secretes the cholera toxin, which modifies the salt and fluid balance in the intestines. Hormones that activate Gs G. protein to increase cAMP normally maintain that balance. The disease occurs when the cholera toxin enzymatically changes Gs to disable it from converting GTP to GDP. Under this condition, Gs cannot be inactivated, keeping cAMP levels high and leading intestinal cells to secrete salt and water (Department of Biology). Extreme dehydration can lead to death.
The release of calcium ions is another key element in many signaling processes. Calcium ions help regulate many cellular functions (Department of Biology). Calcium ionophore releases calcium from the intracellular stores that imitate the effect of Insp3 activation. These stores can be released by the InsP3 channel and the ryanodine receptor channel, which opens when calcium is present. And although other proteins bind calcium to regulate its activity, binding to the protein calmodulin to produce a calcium-calmodulin complex is most frequently resorted to as an intermediate measure (Department of Biology).
The fertilization of animal ova illustrates calcium-mediated signal transduction, following a receptor-ligand interaction (Department of Biology 2003). The sperm, at first, binds the egg's surface at the membrane. Within 30 seconds, a wave of calcium releases spreads from the location of the sperm contact. This release of calcium determines two events. The first is the stimulation of the fusion of the cortical granules with the egg's plasma membrane to change or modify the surrounding coat of the egg and help prevent the binding of another sperm to it (Department of Biology). This is the natural and slow block to the phenomenon called polyspermy. The second event consists of the egg activation and the resumption of metabolic processes.
Nitric oxide is also a signal. It is a toxic and short-living gas molecule that plays a part as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system (Department of Biology 2003). It couples G. protein-linked receptor stimulation in endothelial cells to the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. This relaxation of the vascular smooth muscles or vasodilator involves six events or stages. First is the binding of acetylcholine to G. protein receptors that produces InsP3. Second is the release of calcium ions by InsP3 from endoplasmic reticulum. Third is the formation of complex calcium ions and calmodulin, which stimulates nitric oxide synthase in order to produce nitric oxide. Fourth is the diffusion of nitric oxide from the endothelial cell into adjacent smooth muscle cells. Fifth the activation of guanylyl cyclase in smooth muscle cells in order to produce cyclic GMP or cGMP. The sixth and last is the activation of the protein kinase G. To produce several muscle proteins that induce muscle relaxation (Department of Biology).
A ligand that binds a protein kinase-associated receptor stimulates a kinase activity and the blend of phosphorylation transmits the signal (Department of Biology 2003). Receptor tyrosine kinases assemble and go through autophosphorylation and begin a chain reaction, leading to cell growth, proliferation or differentiation. Most receptor tyrosine kinases have one trans membrane or TM domain, an extra-cellular ligand-binding domain and a cytosolic tail with tyrosine residue targets of the tyrosine activity.
Ligand binding begins the activation of the receptor tyrosine kinases, conducing to receptor aggregation, often as dimers. As soon as the epidermal growth factor receptor is autophosphorylated in response to the EGF ligand, a variety of GRB2 SH2-domain- containing and Sos guanine-nucleotide release protein binds the receptor. This change activates the Sos and causes the release of GDP, which in turn, allows Ras to bind a new GTP and get activated (Department of Biology). When activated, Ras creates a pathway, which includes the mitoen-activated protein kinases or MAPKs. These receptor tyrosine kinases stimulate a divergence of signaling pathways. Receptor tyrosine kinases can activate a form of phophlipase C. And phosphatidylinositor-3-kinase or PI3K (Department of Biology).
Growth factors act as messengers (Department of Biology 2003). Besides nutrients, growth factors are needed by the cell for growth. These include platelet-derived growth factors, insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 or IGF-1, fibroblast growth factor or EGF, and nerve growth factor or NGF. This ligand function has a more significant value than growth and cell division. Impairment of the growth factor by affecting receptor tyrosine kinases can have telling consequences on embryonic development (Department of Biology). Fibroblast growth factors and fibrolast growth factor receptors have strong roles in both embryonic and adult signaling. These receptors play an important role in the development of the mesoderm, the embryonic tissue that eventually develops into muscle, cartilage, bone and blood cells (Department of Biology). When dimerized with normal versions of the receptor or becomes a mutant receptor, it will have a dominant inhibitory effect on normal activity as a dominant negative mutation. Such a mutant version of the receptor, when injected into frog eggs, can cause the failure of mesodermal tissue to develop. In the case of the frog experiment, tadpoles developed with heads but without bodies. Defects of this receptor in humans lead to achondroplasia or dwarfism and thanatophoric dysplasia or severe bone abnormalities, which are fatal in infancy (Department of Biology).
Hormones are chemical signals secreted by a tissue to regulate another, which is located at a distance (Department of Biology 2003), often transmitted through the circulatory system. They may be proteins, peptides, steroids or other molecules and their signals can be classified according to the distance they negotiate in reaching target cells.
Hormones can be proteins, peptides, steroids and other molecules. An endocrine hormone is transmitted by the circulatory system, while a paracrine hormone functions on proximate cells. Endocrine tissues directly secrete into the bloodstream while exocrine tissues do so into ducts, which bring the secretions to target parts of the body (Department of Biology). The pancreas secretes both endocrine and paracrine hormones. Insulin and glucagons are the endocrine hormones it secretes, while its paracrine hormones are digestive enzymes. Endocrine hormones eventually reach target tissues, such as the heart and liver, in the case of epinephrine, or liver and skeletal muscles, in the case of insulin (Department of Biology).
Endocrine hormones are categorized into four. These are amino acid derivatives or epinephrine; peptides, such as anti-diuretic hormone or vasopressin; proteins, such as insulin; and lipid-like hormones, including steroids such as testosterone.
Paracrine hormones, on the other hand, include a histamine, which is a histine derivative, and the prostaglandins, which arachidonic acid derivatives (Department of Biology).

Council backs Keep Britain Tidy's #BigBagChallenge to help 'spring clean' Britain
March 23, 2022 / helloitssarahdyer
One Bag – Big Difference: Calderdale Council supports residents pledging to pick one bag of litter for charity's Great British Spring Clean campaign.
Calderdale Council is encouraging people to pledge to do their bit to clear up the litter that blights the borough during the Great British Spring Clean 2022.
This year's mass campaign, from 25 March to 10 April, calls on families, neighbours, friends and colleagues to join forces and pledge to pick a bag of litter from nearby streets, beauty spots and beaches in order to protect our vibrant communities and precious wildlife habitats.
In Calderdale, the Council's Green Spaces and Street Scene team is holding a clean-up event on every day of the Great British Spring Clean, visiting one of the borough's 17 wards each day from 10am. Everyone in the community is welcome to join in and equipment will be provided.
The national call to action comes as Keep Britain Tidy reveals taking eco action in the outdoors appears to be critical to the wellbeing of our communities, with significant benefits to people's mental health.
In a survey of people who took part in 2021, 86% said volunteering helped improve their mood, up from up 79% in 2020.
More than half (52%) agreed it helped them meet new people and make friends, and a staggering 91% agreed they felt more pride in their local area after participating.
Almost everybody surveyed (98%) agreed the campaign reduced the impact of litter on wildlife and the natural environment.
As well as polluting our streets, parks and beaches, litter harms wildlife, pets and cattle, and costs taxpayers a significant amount of money to clean up.
The Great British Spring Clean, now in its seventh year, brings together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep – and the charity is keen to stress litter picking can be accessible to everybody with the right resources.
The charity reports a significant increase in the number of people litter picking in the great outdoors to help their mental wellbeing, following the additional pressures triggered by the pandemic.

As of recent, Carl and I have allowed tournament fishing to take a back seat. This isn't because of our lack of desire to compete, but to focus more on filming. So, it is from outside the tournament realm that I will analyze the issue that I present to you today.
It is my opinion that keeping all age groups engaged in bass fishing is paramount to the preservation of this great sport we all love. I don't think any angler would disagree with that. However, at least with the clubs and trails I have fished with, there is a SERIOUS age gap. There are a large number of 40-50+ year old anglers. These are the seasoned guys that have been doing this for the better part of their lives. These guys are usually the foundation of their clubs or trails, and usually assume a leadership role of some sort.
As the ages of anglers get younger, the number of anglers in those younger age groups get smaller and smaller. For the past couple years, I have been one of the youngest anglers in the trail that I fish. I enjoy being a "newbie" and I learn many lessons with every tournament I fish. But, I believe, that if we wish to preserve this sport – whether competitive or recreational – we must realize that smoothing the generational transition should be at the forefront of every club or trail's agenda.
With that being said, how do we attract young people to the realm of tournament style bass fishing? I certainly have my opinions on the matter. On the larger scale, Elite Series Pro Mike Iaconelli has been a pioneer in this sport. Without him, professional bass fishing as a whole would certainly be much different. His passion, his style, and his vocalization have broken the mold of the Bill Dance-esque bass fishermen. This path that Ike has created is blazed today by guys like Brandon Palaniuk and Brent Ehrler, who maintain a energetic image and compete furiously. With guys like this representing bass fishing, keeping the attention of younger aspiring anglers is less of a burden.
On the local level is where we face the bigger challenge. Obviously we have realized at this point, that our hobby is not a cheap one. The cost of a glass boat and gear is enough to deter any young angler alone. But If we're lucky to finance a boat, and keep it running, the young angler needs to decide if he or she wants to fish competitively. Personally, it took me a while to warm up to the idea. I enjoyed bass fishing so much, I didn't want to tarnish it with the mental and financial pressures of tournament fishing. I quickly realized that the competitive aspect was a thrill, almost addicting. I also realized that tournament fishing is the glue that holds our community together. It is the catalyst for the emergence of new techniques. Is is also a forum for conservation discussion, and a sample set of what is working to preserve our species – and what isn't.
Tournament directors around the country should be exploring new ways to attract youthful competitors. There are many directions one could head to tackle this imposing issue, and I do not think there is one set answer. I do think that reaching out to new people should be a bigger priority, and if that comes at the expense of a few ruffled feathers of current club or trail members, than so be it.
What we have to realize is that without new anglers, our sport has the potential to fizzle out over time. Attracting the next furor of future fishermen and keeping them engaged in the sport is the cornerstone of the Freak Finder project. We attempt to do it through media. Where this type of self-promotion really needs to occur is within tournament organizations. These tournament organizations are obviously the engineering bodies behind our weekend battles, but these entities can also serve as advocacy groups. These groups well help protect the rights of anglers, and help insure the future of our sport in terms of access, restrictions and regulations. Organizations Like BASS and FLW are the first two that would come to mind. But even smaller trails and local clubs should realize the importance of attracting more people, and young people, to a great sport that can be so rewarding on many different levels.
Fishing was a gift presented to me from two separate generations of relatives my elder. Lessons learned through time on the water have molded my life into what it is today. Fishing means something special to each of us, and a new lesson is learned each day. We must continue to strive forward in preserving the sport for our children, and their children. After all, like our freedom here in this great nation, our sport is only one generation away from extinction. Its up to us to make sure that doesn't happen.

Attorney of MAGAbomber's family: He was a 14-year-old in adult body who found 'father figure' in Trump
Dominique Jackson
On Friday, the attorney for the alleged bomber Cesar Sayoc's family, Ron Lowy, told CNN's Anderson Cooper that Sayoc has a major identity issue.
Sayoc, 56, has been arrested in connection to sending 14 bombs to news organizations and Democrats.
"He suffered from identification issues. He needed people to be impressed with him. He had issues of insecurity. I then began to realize that he had what I considered a lesser IQ, substantial emotional problems. He was like a 14-year-old in an adult's body."
Lowy explained that the family wanted him to get medical help, but that he was a definite and refused help. He describes the family as being "destroyed."
Lowy said that Sayoc looked up to President Donald Trump as a role model.
Lowy said he was lost and "found a father in Trump."

Planning and design of lower Lee flood mitigation scheme to proceed – Buttimer
Home / News / Cork / Planning and design of lower Lee flood mitigation scheme to proceed – Buttimer
9th December 201122nd January 2016
By admin_exsiteIn Cork, Environment, Community and Local Government
Cork South Central Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer has welcomed confirmation that planning and design of risk management and mitigation scheme for the lower Lee is to proceed. Minister of State at the Office of Public Works (OPW) Brian Hayes, TD, confirmed that planning and design of the scheme will be progressed by the OPW during 2012.
Deputy Buttimer said "This is very welcome news for the people living in Cork City, particularly those communities in the Middle Parish and the Mardyke. For two years there has been little or no action to prevent a repeat of the disastrous floods of 2009. The floods caused devastation across large parts of the city, 18,000 homes were left without water, since then we have seen remedial works on quay walls begin and then, incomprehensively, come to a stop. Minister Hayes's announcement will reassure residents that this government is taking their concerns seriously.
"For each of the next five years the government plans spending an additional €45 million on flood risk management and mitigation. A total of €225 million over the period is more than the total spent on such measures in the past 10 years. At a time when it has to take difficult financial decision this is a signal by government that it understands both the personal and economic impact of flooding.
"I have raised the issue of flood mitigation on the lower Lee with the Minister Hayes on a number of occasions. He previously confirmed to me that approximately €2.4m had been provided by the OPW under the Minor Works scheme to both the City and County Councils for the Cork city area. €900,000 of this funding has been provided to Cork City Council to commission works for the repair of the collapsed quay walls.
"The Minister also informed me that he proposed to engage consultants to carry out detailed design of the lower Lee flood defence works and to examine possible changes in operational procedures for Inniscarra dam. I am delighted that he is now following through on his commitment and delivering the initial steps for a badly needed flood mitigation scheme on the lower Lee."

For the fourth time in five games this week, ETSU jumped on the scoreboard first, including the third time in five games that the Bucs scored in the opening inning. Taylor Wright (Erwin, Tenn.) plated the run for the Bucs in the home half of the first inning with an RBI single, bringing home Lauren Lee (Cleveland, Tenn.) from second.
The lead was short lived as the Bears evened the game in the top of the second inning with a leadoff home run from Megan Lane. Mercer then claimed the lead in the top of the third inning, scoring two runs on two hits for the 3-1 lead.
ETSU inched closer to the Bears in the home half of the sixth inning, putting runners on second and third with just one away. Wright lifted another RBI single to right field to bring Lee home from third, cutting the deficit in half with just one away. However, ETSU was unable to plate the game-tying run from third, grounding out and flying out to conclude the scoring threat.
Mercer capped off the win with a pair of insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning off of Lane's double to right center, stretching the Bears' lead to 5-2.
The Bucs put the ball in play all afternoon, striking out just one time in 26 plate appearances. However, ETSU was unable to draw any walks in the final game of the series, while Mercer was gifted with eight walks on the day.
» Taylor Boling (Jasper, Ga.) started the game in the circle, throwing three innings and allowing three runs on four hits.
» Boling was relieved by MacKenzie Dyson (Hanahan, S.C.), throwing four innings and allowing two runs and five walks in her 13th appearance on the season.
» Wright and Kelsey Brown (Advance, N.C.) tallied two hits apiece, combining for four of ETSU's five base knocks.
» With the loss, ETSU falls to 17-16-2, including 3-3 in SoCon play and falls to 13-24 all-time against Mercer.
The Bucs will return to the field on Saturday, April 13 when they travel to Birmingham, Ala., squaring off with Samford in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. ET. The series finale will be on Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. ET.

DELIVERED DOSE POTENTIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE PRESCRIBED DOSE
During a brachytherapy treatment, the patient breast received an incorrect entry of the catheter position from a treatment planning system. Because of this, the prescribed dose was 340 centi-Gray at 1 centimeter from the tumor cavity while the actual dose received was 680 centi-Gray at 1 centimeter from the tumor cavity.
The physician notified the patient of the potential dose difference. Based on physician review, it was determined that there was no affect on the patient.
The reason for the potential dose difference was due to a missed change of a program default in the software program of the radiation treatment planning system. A new check step has been added to the Community Hospital procedure in order to correct the issue.

CALIFORNIA AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DAMAGE TO RADIOGRAPHY CAMERA GUIDE TUBE
The following information was received from the state via email.
"On October 10, 2010, at approximately 11:45 P.M., an IESCO radiography team was performing radiography operations at the Conoco Phillips Refinery in Wilmington, CA. The team was exposing a small pipe when a 6 inch pipe spool fell approximately 2 feet from a work bench to the ground where the source guide tube was lying while the source was extended during an exposure. The flange end struck the guide tube and it crimped the tube, preventing the source from being retracted after the exposure time had elapsed. The RSO was contacted at approximately 1150 and he responded to the scene. While waiting for the RSO to arrive, the radiographer sent the assistant away from the area and proceeded to adjust the boundary around the scene to where the dose rate at the boundary was 2 mr/hour (actual dose rate) or less and to maintain constant surveillance of the boundaries so that no one could enter the area where the incident had occurred.
"When the RSO arrived, he had both the radiographer and assistant stay out of the area of the incident and he proceeded to retrieve the source. He proceeded to straighten the guide tube and then placed 20 lb. lead shot bags on the source (the collimator had fallen off when the pipe spool struck the guide tube) to shield the source. The RSO then proceeded to cut open the source guide tube with tin snips. He then flattened the guide tube with lead sheets to expose the drive cable at the area where the guide tube was crimped to allow the source to be retracted back to the exposure device. While he was cutting the guide tube, the RSO placed his survey meter between himself and the source to monitor his exposure, along with two direct reading pocket dosimeters (DRPD) place at his chest (on had a 0-200 Mr range and the other had a 0-500 Mr range). He stated that his hands and chest were both approximately the same distance from the source during this phase of the recovery. While cutting the guide tube, the RSO periodically went to the crank to attempt to retrieve the source and then returned to cut more of the guide tube until the source was able to cranked without any resistance. After enough of the guide tube was removed to allow source to bypass the crimp, the RSO then went to retract the source. After the source had been retrieved, the exposure device was surveyed to ensure that the source was in the shielded position and then the exposure device was locked. The whole retrieval operation took approximately 30-45 minutes.
"The estimated dose to the RSO during this incident was 110 millirem on both DRPD's, which is equivalent to being exposed by a radiation field of 200 mR/hr for 33 minutes. The radiographer was discovered to have a DRPD that was off scale and thus was told to stay out of the area of the incident and his dosimeter was sent to Mirion Technology (formerly Global Dosimetry) for emergency processing. The radiographers assistant's dose was estimated at 10 millirem as read by his DRPD. An estimate of the radiographer's dose will need to be reported to determine if an over exposure has occurred. Since all reporting of the incident was timely and the procedures were followed for this incident and for the off-scale DRPD, there is no evidence that a violation has occurred and the licensee will not be cited at this time. Any future actions will be determined after a review of the 30 day report which will be provided by the licensee as required under 10 CFR 34.101(a)."
The radiography camera is a QSA Global A424-9 with Ir-192 35.6 Ci source.

Although most American homes receive small amounts of fluoride from their food and water, it is not enough to help prevent tooth decay. Professional fluoride treatments in your dental office provide extra protection for your teeth and stand as one of the most effective agents against tooth decay in modern dentistry today. Fluoride is a naturally-occurring element that exists in combination with other elements as a fluoride compound and is found as a mineral in rock and soil.
The benefits of fluoride have been extolled for decades and are widely supported by health and professional organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Topical fluoride works by seeping into the outer enamel surface of the teeth and strengthening them against decay. Topical fluoride is found in toothpaste, mouth rinses, and oral gels. Dr.'s Movaghari and Urteaga and the dental hygienists at Dental Devotion of Arlington, VA recommend that most all children receive a professional topical application of fluoride during regular dental check-ups (every 6 months). It is especially important to treat children that are cavity prone. Sometimes, systemic fluoride drops are recommended for infants and in tablet form for children up to thirteen years of age.
Note: It is important to monitor the amounts of fluoride a typical child ingests. A condition called fluorosis may occur if too much fluoride is consumed during teeth development and may lead to white spots on the teeth.
It is important to remember that fluoride treatments alone will not prevent tooth decay. Dr.'s Movaghari and Urteaga and the hygienists at Dental Devotion recommend that all our patients brush at least twice a day, floss regularly, eat balanced meals that are low in sugar, and visit our Ballston – Arlington denstist office on a regular basis.
