D-dimer and risk for thrombosis in adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Daniela R. Anderson, Wendy Stock, Theodore G. Karrison, Avi Leader*
Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at increased risk of thrombotic and/or bleeding events during early chemotherapy, especially when receiving asparaginase. D-dimer is a marker of fibrinolysis that has been associated with thrombotic risk in solid cancers and acute myeloid leukemia; however, to date, no ALL-based study has assessed D-dimer level and risk for thrombosis. We sought to examine D-dimer as a biomarker for risk of thrombosis or bleeding during ALL treatment in a retrospective cohort study at The University of Chicago. We identified 61 consecutive adult patients with ALL, gathering demographic characteristics, treatment regimens, initial biomarkers including D-dimer, and assessing occurrence of venous or arterial thrombosis and bleeding in the first 100 days after diagnosis (index). The 100-day cumulative incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of venous or arterial thrombosis in patients with high D-dimer ($4 mg/mL) was 52.9% (95% CI, 26.4-73.8) compared with 13.8% (95% CI, 5.5-25.7) in patients with low to moderate D-dimer (,4 mg/mL), corresponding with a hazard ratio of 5.04 (95% CI, 1.79-14.22). When testing for potential confounders in a series of bivariate logistic regression models, the association between D-dimer and thrombosis remained after adjusting for body mass index, age, sex, asparaginase treatment, disseminated intravascular coagulation score, initial platelet level, and ALL phenotype. In conclusion, D-dimer levels at ALL diagnosis are associated with venous or arterial thrombosis at 100 days. Future studies should include D-dimer collated with other known risk factors to build a risk assessment model for thrombosis in patients with newly diagnosed ALL.

Ford Motor Company announced their financial results for the first quarter of 2013 and the numbers are incredible – with a new North American quarterly profit record of over $2.4 billion dollars accompanied by gains across the board.
In looking over the financial results from Ford Motor Company for the first quarter (Q1) of 2013, Ford's quarterly records are particularly impressive with the current struggles in the European and South American. In Europe, Ford posted a $462 million loss while the South American operations accounted for a pre-tax loss of $218 million. Luckily, that combined loss of $680 million dollars is countered by Ford Motor Company posting a quarterly record profit in North America along with some help from the booming Chinese segment.
Through the first three months of 2013, Ford Motor Company posted pretax profits in North America of $2.442 billion dollars; an increase of $309 million over the first quarter of 2012. That is the highest profit figure by any automaker in the history of the American auto industry in any quarter. The previous record had been the third quarter of 2012 when Ford posted a net income of $2.33 billion. Aiding the record profit figure over the past few months was North American revenues of $22.3 billion – up $3.7 billion from the first quarter of 2012.
Ford'a Asia Pacific and African branch posted a Q1 profit of $6 million dollars and while that pales in comparison to the North American results – that accounts for a huge improvement over the first quarter of 2012 where the Asia Pacific/Africa group posted a net loss of $95 million. The Asia Pacific and African markets also contributed $2.6 billion in revenues – up $300,000 from Q1 2012.
The bottom line for the Ford Motor Company in the first quarter of 2013 is net income of $1.643 billion dollars and global revenue of $33.9 billion. On the net income side of things, the company recognized a $194 million drop due to the struggles in the European and South American markets but despite those troubles abroad – Ford still posted an increase in revenue of $3.4 billion dollars.
Even with the struggling European auto industry, Ford Motor Company continues to thrive enough in other markets – most importantly the North American market – to post record numbers. While the slump in Europe could continue well on through this year, the positive direction of Ford products in both the US and China indicates that the Motor Company will almost certainly post its fifth straight year of net profits after posting some $30 billion in losses in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The most vital markets for every automaker in the world right now (especially with the deepening European recession) are the United States and China regions. The fact that Ford is doing so well in these two key markets shows that Ford Motor Company is making all of the right moves and when our friends in Europe pull out of the financial nose dive – Ford will most likely head back to making money there as well.


Can other procedures be used at the same time?
This is a procedure used to remove the excessive skin and fat that may hang from the under surface of the arm causing the "bat's wing" condition.
This is a procedure used to remove the excessive skin and tissue that may hang from the under -surface of the arm ("bat's wing" deformity). This may be a result of massive weight loss. The amount to be removed varies with each patient. Loss of sensation may be experienced on either side of the scar on the arm and occasionally small patches of sensory loss may occur on the chest.
The technique may employ liposuction, alternatively it may require skin excision only. The incision runs along the inner upper arm with a zigzag extension in to the armpit. The incision will extend to a variable degree on to the side of the chest depending on the amount of excess skin and tissue that is present in this location.
The arm is an area where healing is unpredictable. An arm reduction will improve the contour and definition of both the arm, armpit (axilla) as well as the side of the chest.
Classically drains are inserted which exit from the elbow and are normally left in place for one to two days.
It is possible to combine an arm lift at the same time as surgery to other areas of the body. Please discuss this with Dr Belt at the time of your consultation.
These can be broken down into both general and specific risks. The specific risks include bruising, swelling, uneven or asymmetrical results notably rippling, dimpling and loose skin, collections of fluid or blood occurring under the skin. Skin discolouration which is generally temporary but may become permanent. Permanent loss of sensation is unusual though some patients do find that they have some reduced sensation for the first few months following the operation.
The fat that has a poor blood supply may result in a discharge from the surgical wounds or palpable lumps.
Even following good healing and good surgical results, scars can be unsightly and disappointing. Dr Belt will try to limit the scar length and place the scar in the least obvious location on the arm. The scars may migrate and the final scar placement is unpredictable.
The quality of the scar is also unpredictable and keloid or hypertrophic scars may occur. These types of scars are thickened and raised scars that can be itchy as well as unsightly.
These include Dr Belt's fee, a surgical assistant's fee the theatre and hospital fee, as well as a specialist anaesthetist fee.
The surgery can be performed as a day patient or as an overnight case. Usually a drain will be placed into the wound which will remain in place for 1 to 2 days. It is possible to go home with the drains in place.
In day case procedures, generally the patients go home after a few hours. Most patients report that pain and discomfort are minor for the first few days. Local anaesthetic is still in the wounds and this will give some pain relief for a few hours after the procedure.
Paracetamol is usually sufficient pain relief but you will be discharged with some stronger analgesia (pain killers) in case you get breakthrough pain. Plan a very quiet week after the surgery.
A dressing and bandage will be provided and this reduces the swelling in the treated areas and should be maintained until you are reviewed in Dr Belt's rooms at the time of drain removal and a dressing change.
Most people return to work within a week or two of surgery and light activities can be resumed within two to three weeks but normal activities may take up to six weeks.
Dr Belt recommends that the surgery is performed under a General Anaesthetic administered by a specialist anaesthetist.


At heart, I'm as much a salesperson as a writer. In 1978, I was recognized by Merrill Lynch for ranking second in opening new accounts among their first-year stockbrokers.
During my next career, back in the days of print, selling my essays was harder. Some of my articles received a dozen or more rejections before getting accepted for publication; some never got accepted.
Blogging of course is easier, with me as both writer and publisher. Yet, just because I post something, doesn't mean it will get read.
To reach an audience, Twitter and Facebook have replaced the envelope, stamp and cover letter to editors.
Tweeting and posting links to my articles, I serve as my own audience-seeker.
Don't get me wrong, this game of tracking down new Twitter followers is a lot more fun than waiting to hear from an editor who has no intention of responding to my submission (unless he/she mistakenly believes I'm Susan Orlean).
Every time a new tweep follows me, ka-ching, it give me a charge. I'm a stats person, a math major, a former math instructor.
The fun of being a stockbroker included my attraction to numbers, most thrillingly the bottom line. How much business did I do each month? How high did I rank among the 46 men and 4 women brokers in my office?
My friend Diane, author of Big Green Purse, is in my writing group and always asks, "Why do you want to achieve this?" of whatever it is I'm doing.
For a pleasure-seeking lowbrow like me, who is hopelessly attracted to tinsel, it's a hard question to answer more profoundly than to say it feels good. Maybe my drive to feel good is strong in order to help offset my Worrywart.
The other day I met with my writing group. I asked what everyone thought about an email I'd composed to send to a majority of my address book in hopes of increasing my fan base.
It's been a while since I last wrote with a link to one of my articles. Last time, it was late one night that I struggled with the perfect wording to let friends and acquaintances know I'd just posted an aricle on Huffington Post. Then I hit send.
At 3 a.m., before going to sleep, I checked my email; someone had already replied. Yay!
I opened it. "Please unsubscribe," is all it said.
After that I tried to fall asleep, but wondering how many other people I had annoyed kept me from drifting off. Ever since then I have been light-handed on the send button.
That said, I want to let you know about my new Facebook fan page, where I post links to my articles and welcome conversation. I'd love you to drop in, "like" and chime in with comments.
I hope all is well with you and that you have a splendid holiday season!
My writing group is generally uber-supportive ("Susan, I can just see that story of your first marriage becoming a movie. Who would you want to play you? What will you wear on the red carpet?").
I'd love YOU drop in, "like" and chime in with comments on my new Facebook fan page!
What non-email suggestions do you have for increasing my audience and generating more Facebook fans and comments?

Mining and Ore-Treatment at the Talisman Mine
The founder of Akrad Radio Corporation, the late K. M. Wrigley, was born in Waihi in 1913. In 1922, after gaining experience in Auckland, he established a business in Dean's Building, Waihi, which he called "Keith M. Wrigley Radio Sales and Service." It was here, with the help of his brother Wynn, that he began the manufacture of his own radios and before long, as the business grew, he employed others, and moved firstly to the building now occupied by the Waihi Dry Cleaning Co., and then to that at present occupied by Parker's Milk Bar, Rosemont Road.
In 1939 his business was situated in a building near the Church of England and it employed about 50 persons. Mr Wrigley now adopted the present name of the firm, and spent much time travelling throughout the North Island promoting sales. In 1942, when the Government stopped the manufacture of domestic radios, Akrad was called on to make equipment for war purposes which included army radios, buzzers and spare valve cases. Meanwhile, as the Seddon Street premises had become too small, the business was transferred to the King's Hall in Haszard Street.
On New Year's Day, 1946, Mr Wrigley passed away and under his Will, the Akrad Radio Corporation passed into the hands of the Public Trustee, who administered the business on behalf of the estate until 1952, when it was sold to shareholders who formed a company in the name of Akrad Radio Corporation Ltd. By this time the company was also manufacturing large quantities of children's tricycles and staff had been progressively increased until in 1951, 90 were employed.
In 1952, Pye Limited of Cambridge, England, bought a controlling interest in Akrad Radio Corporation Limited, and with this added strength, the company immediately embarked on a programme to manufacture radio sets under the Pye brand as well as Pacific and Regent. The erection of the new Pye brand of set in New Zealand created a much greater demand on company resources and staff again had to be increased. The Haszard Street premises were also progressively extended to their present size by 1958, bringing the total floor area to 40,000 square feet. Further plant, machinery and motor vehicles were purchased and stock was increased. It is interesting to note that as at 31st March, 1960, the average sum invested for each employee amounted to £1,390. During 1960 it became apparent that the Haszard Street premises would be quite inadequate to cope with the tremendous space requirements in producing television receivers.
A contract was therefore let for the erection of a new plant in Moresby Avenue, which is now completed and in full operation. The building faces Moresby Avenue and consists of large comfortable offices on the ground floor with staff locker rooms and other amenities on the first floor. A large modern cafeteria overlooking Martha Street, with up-to-date kitchen, has a seating capacity for over 200 persons. An area of 40,000 square feet on the first floor is used for the assembly of Television, Radio Telephone and Radio Receivers. The "saw-tooth" design of this area affords an abundance of natural lighting and temperature is controlled by four modern units placed at strategic points. Every effort has been made to bring the working conditions up to the very highest standard. A feature of this building is the roadway which passes through it, allowing vehicles to unload under cover on the same level as the factory floor. Access and egress to and from the building is made through entrances which incorporate electrically operated roller type doors. Fire protection is provided by a Sprinkler installation which serves the entire building.
To keep pace with the tremendous growth occurring in the electronic field, it has become necessary to expand the Technical Laboratories. Because of the many virtues in keeping technical research remote from manufacturing, it has become necessary to provide a new building for this purpose, which is being erected on a site in Barry Road, and is due for completion and occupation before the end of 1962. Total floor areas in Waihi will then be 120,000 square feet approximately.
With a staff of 350, and a weekly wage bill of £4,700, the operations of Akrad affect considerably the economy of Waihi. For example the retail value of the annual output exceeds £2,500,000, of which radio and television account for £2,100,000, radio telephones £300,000, and tricycles £100,000. This amount of business naturally produces much revenue for the town, over and above the wages paid. Waihi business-houses are paid £20,000, freights are £25,000 and power costs are £4,000, on an annual basis.
The Akrad Corporation is a subsidiary of Pye Electronics Ltd., a public company recently incorporated in New Zealand, with a capital of £1,500,000 and the goods produced in Waihi are sold throughout New Zealand by other subsidiaries of this parent company, namely Pye Ltd., G. A. Wooller and Co., Ltd., and Green and Cooper Ltd., under the trademarks of Pye, Astor and Clipper. Akrad is in direct communication with the Head Offices of these Companies by means of its own Teleprinter service.
Because of the explosive growth of the electronic industry throughout the world, and the bold outlook adopted by the Pye group of companies, there can be no question that the future of Akrad Radio Corporation Ltd., and consequently Waihi, is assured.

The Internet's War Against 'Star Wars' Spoilers
By Seung Lee On 12/16/15 at 3:10 PM EST

Tech & Science Star Wars Reddit Twitter 4chan
There are just two more days until the new Star Wars movie premiere, and adherents of the dark side—with some actually calling themselves spoiler jihadists—are trying to spoil the fun.
Since the first worldwide premieres in Los Angeles and Sydney, spoilers have been floating around on social media websites everywhere. Reddit's voluntary moderators, for one, have been busy cleaning up spoilers left on the site.
Subreddits for the movie have been taking the brunt of the spoiler bombardments, and moderators have banned dozens of users. In this struggle for the greater good, there was collateral damage: The moderators know every secret that J.J. Abrams prepped for the series' seventh film, The Force Awakens.
"I think all the mods have had it spoiled for them by now," writes one moderator of Reddit's r/movies. "We'll do our best to make sure you guys don't suffer the same fate."
"You're doing God's work, we all really appreciate it, I can tell you that," replied one commenter.
There are booby traps everywhere on Reddit and social media right now, looking to snag and corrupt innocent Star Wars fans. For those who want to ruin the experience of viewing the movie with fresh eyes, there is the conveniently named Star Wars Leaks subreddit, where early moviegoers can chat all they want within their echo chamber.
Beyond Reddit, Twitter and 4chan (the premier breeding ground for Internet trolls) are also packed with users trying self-indulgently to ruin people's excitement for their own amusement.
One private online group, called the Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe, has threatened action, in a "spoiler jihadi," on social media in retribution for the end of a Star Wars narrative called the Expanded Universe. To fit the new movie into the larger Star Wars universe, LucasFilms announced in April that the Expanded Universe canon—built over 35 years through books, comic books and other media—was nonofficial, demoting the entire narrative down to glorified fan fiction.
There are ways to circumvent the spoiler attacks without leaving the Internet for a few days. For one, a few Google Chrome plug-ins will display spoiler warnings over a Web page after detecting Star Wars-related buzzwords in the text.
Even with safeguards, the Internet is a perilous place for any Star Wars fans looking for a spoiler-free experience. With the review embargo lifted early Wednesday, expect more and more noise on social media.

Home / News Coverage / Four Ottawa tech firms to watch in 2018
Four Ottawa tech firms to watch in 2018
Blockchain and AI are a few of the emerging technologies underpinning Ottawa's high-potential tech firms
Martello Technologies
Kanata's Martello Technologies wasted no time proving why 2018 will be its year. In just the first week, the fast-growing firm announced a merger with Montreal's Elfiq Networks. But it's only going to get bigger from there.
New CEO John Proctor confirmed what outgoing chief executive Bruce Linton hinted at last year, that Martello may seek an initial public offering in 2018. If that weren't enough, Martello is also still looking for acquisitions – "The hunt is still on," Proctor says.
Martello has made waves in the Ottawa business community as a company to watch since it was founded in 2009. A child of Wesley Clover International, the firm develops software to support cloud-based communication systems, specifically focusing on Mitel customers. Martello has been one of OBJ's fastest-growing firms and led Ottawa companies on the 2017 Profit 500 list of Canada's rising stars.
The field is open for a Martello IPO to be Ottawa's sole public offering this year. If its ambitions pan out, it could end up being the city's biggest tech story of 2018.


I have to admit that when Kay and Steve from Song Away Farm reached out to me to write an article about their meat rabbit farm I was a bit apprehensive. After all, I come from the world of cute little Easter bunnies and stories like Peter Rabbit. The idea of meat rabbits was, well a bit "unappetizing" to me.
I try to keep an open mind and boldly agreed to meet with Kay and Steve to see their operation. I have to say I was more than impressed.
I know there are two types of people out there. Those who will think, "Hmmm, rabbit? Sounds tasty." And those who are completely appalled at the idea of eating a small furry creature.
Before you judge, lets look at the facts. Rabbit is indeed a popular choice of meat in many countries and is sold in many gourmet restaurants. It has an extremely low carbon footprint, is very high in easily digestible protein and is low in fat. And as clichéd as this sounds, it tastes like chicken…or so I'm told.
I won't lie. I have not tasted rabbit…yet. Though I have been offered a sample if I bring my boyfriend by in the near future.
On closer inspection I noted that all the rabbits had very clean, shiny fur and bright eyes, all signs of good health. None of the rabbits exhibited any signs of stress and any kits (babies) were happily bouncing around with their siblings and mother.
Kay and Steve raise a few different breeds of meat rabbits that come from show quality stock. The Californian appeared most prevalent and is recognized by its white color and black points on the ears, nose and feet. The New Zealand's tend to be all white "albino" rabbits (though they do come in black). They also have Americans, which are also all white with pink eyes. They also have a few other breeds that are mainly used for meat and some for their pelts. Yes, they are all cute, but beyond that they are strong healthy food quality rabbits.
Most factory farmed beef or pork are raised on soy, corn products and fishmeal, all of which are expensive to produce. Rabbits, on the other hand, survive and thrive on alfalfa and a variety of seeds and grains, making them an inexpensive food source. Rabbits can produce six pounds of meat on the same amount of food and water it would take a cow to produce one pound.
Rabbits grow quickly and are processed between 8 to 10 weeks when they reach an ideal weight of five-pounds. A five-pound rabbit will provide about two to two and a half pounds of meat. The average cost of rabbit meat is between $6 and $8 per pound. Prices get higher as you get near areas like New York and California.
And lest we forget, rabbits multiply prolifically. That's a fancy way of saying they multiply like rabbits. A female rabbit or doe can produce about 5 litters a year with six to nine kits per litter. That means a doe can produce sixty pounds or more of meat per year.
Manure from rabbits can be used immediately in gardens and is high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Rabbits also don't take up much room. From a sustainability point of view, rabbit just makes sense.
Regardless of your opinion on eating rabbit, it is a healthier alternative to other meats and provides the most nutrients for the least amount of work. Why then, you ask, do we not see more rabbit meat in stores? For better or worse (depending on how you look at it) rabbits do not do well in large-scale factory farming, something our country has become reliant on.
That leaves the small farmer who takes into consideration the overall environment and health of their stock. Only farms that ensure their rabbits are well cared for in a healthy, non-stressful environment are successful.
If you like rabbit or have ever been interested in trying it, check out Song Away Farm for conscientiously farmed rabbit meat. Their prices are more than reasonable and their farming practices are top notch.
Kay and Steve sell only "fryers," which are the most tender and can be used in all types of recipes. In most cases, you can replace chicken with rabbit when cooking as rabbit meat, like chicken, takes on the flavors and spices you use.
If you are interested in trying it, here are some recipes they have shared. You can check out their website here.
1/2 cup unsalted butter *we added a little more so the flour would mix in better!
2 3/4 cups cooked, diced rabbit meat *a little more is ok!
and we added about a 1/2c pearl barley to make it a little heartier…we think brown rice would be delicious too!
Boil 2 1/2lb of rabbit meat in 8 cups of chicken broth until cooked & debone as needed.
Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes more.
Pour in the broth and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Add the parsley, thyme, tarragon and bay leaf to the soup. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the rabbit and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
Whisk the heavy cream, sherry, and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste.
At this point we transfer the soup to a crockpot on low and have it ready for supper. But you can divide among soup bowls, sprinkle the top of each soup with the chopped parsley and serve immediately. ENJOY!
Recipe adapted from centercutcook.com "How to Make Sweet & Sour Chicken".
1 cup pineapple chunks *we enjoy more pineapple so we add more & cut back on the chunked peppers!
Remove from oven and place rabbit, pineapple and pepper chunks over a bed of rice!
* Like any recipe adapt this one to your liking! If we have a busy day ahead we will skip oven baking and put all of the ingredients in a crock pot on low setting and just make the rice when we are ready to eat.
1. Cook rabbit tenderloins in olive oil, once complete remove from pan & cut into slices. Add cut asparagus to the pan season with onion powder & garlic powder add a couple tablespoons of white wine and cook on low until al dente.
2. In a 3 or 4-quart saucepan, heat 1-tablespoon butter on medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for a minute or two, until translucent. Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring until nicely coated.
3. While the shallots are cooking, bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
4. Add the wine. Slowly stir, allowing the rice to absorb the wine. Once the wine is almost completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup of hot stock to the rice. Continue to stir until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, adding more stock in 1/2-cup increments. Stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking and stirring rice, adding a little bit of broth at a time, cooking and stirring until it is absorbed, until the rice is tender, but still firm to the bite, about 20-25 minutes. With the last ladle of stock, add the rabbit & asparagus. Turn off the heat.
Gently stir in the Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1-tablespoon butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Cindy, great article. If you don't mind, I'll put a link on our website to the story? Well done!

Second girl accuses former Wausau East employee of sex assault
Ileana Ionescu, a former exchange student at Wausau East High School, says Kurtis Hornby inappropriately touched her in his car.
Second girl accuses former Wausau East employee of sex assault Ileana Ionescu, a former exchange student at Wausau East High School, says Kurtis Hornby inappropriately touched her in his car. Check out this story on wausaudailyherald.com: http://wdhne.ws/2HwTkEC
Haley BeMiller, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 7:11 a.m. CT Feb. 20, 2018 | Updated 7:19 a.m. CT Feb. 20, 2018

WAUSAU - A second teenager has come forward to accuse a former Wausau East High School educator of sexually assaulting her as a student.
Ileana Ionescu of Romania told USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin she was assaulted by Kurtis Hornby, 46, in 2016 when she was a 16-year-old exchange student. Hornby was an audio/visual technician for Wausau East at the time.
Hornby was charged last month with sexually assaulting another Wausau East student. According to the criminal complaint, he touched the girl's breast in the school auditorium sometime between Nov. 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017. He faces one charge of second-degree sexual assault of a child. The Wausau School District fired him in September.
Ionescu, now 17, is not the girl referenced in the original complaint. When she saw news reports of Hornby's case, she said she felt compelled to share her own experience — something she had not done previously. Wausau police say they are investigating Ionescu's claims after she reported the information to school officials earlier this month.
"I'm responsible to come forward and be strong," she said in a Skype interview with a reporter.
Hornby is scheduled to appear in court again March 9 on the original charge. His attorney, David Casey, did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story. Two phone numbers listed for Hornby were not in service when called by USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.

Ileana's story
Ionescu is from Brasov, Romania. After making a spontaneous decision to apply for a U.S. federal student exchange program, she attended Wausau East during the 2016-2017 school year. She found her way to a new home in Wausau in August 2016.
That home belonged to Hornby's wife's parents, Ionescu said. Because of that, Kurtis Hornby was a constant in her life. Hornby always drove her to and from school, she said, and she babysat their children.
Ionescu said the relationship with her house parents was difficult, and they often argued. She decided to move into a new home. Shortly before that transition — around late November or early December 2016 — after a bad argument about her imminent departure, Ionescu needed to get out of the house. She called Hornby for help, she said.
Hornby picked up Ionescu and drove her to the Dunkin' Donuts drive through for pumpkin spice lattes, she said. During that time, she was talking on the phone with friends in Romania, struggling with how to handle the fight with her house parents. After Dunkin' Donuts, Hornby pulled into an area of Marathon Park and, while she was still on the phone, began to touch her breast over her white button-down shirt, Ionescu said. Then, he unbuttoned one of the buttons and groped her bare breast under her bra, she said.
"I'm ending my phone call and I'm like 'Please stop,' and he just like ignores me," she said in the interview with USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. She told him, "Please take me home right now," she said.
Ionescu said she never told anybody about the incident and never discussed it with Hornby. He continued taking her to school until she moved out of his in-laws' house. After the move, she avoided his office at school, steered clear of him in the hallways and tried to put the assault behind her, she said.
"I don't think we even made eye contact ever again," she said.
Ionescu said she is frustrated she had to experience what she did during her exchange year. But in general, she said, the incident didn't affect her because she already was going through a difficult time at her first Wausau home.
"I just felt nothing at the moment," she said. "I still feel nothing."
Now, back in Romania, Ionescu is finishing up her high school education and aims to study public relations and communications in college. Some have encouraged her to go into politics.
Ionescu decided to speak out about Hornby in part because she believes "everything that goes around comes around." But she also wants to support and encourage other women to share their stories, she said, particularly because these experiences are starting to feel normal when they shouldn't.
"It's not OK to experience something like that," Ionescu said, "and it's not OK to be OK with it."
