2018 ACEP Elections Preview: Meet the President-Elect Candidates
By	ACEP Now | on September 19, 2018 | 0 Comment
Each year, ACEP's Council elects new leaders for the College at its meeting. The Council, which represents all 53 chapters, 39 sections of membership, the Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine, the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors, the Emergency Medicine Residents' Association, and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, will elect the College's President-Elect and four members to the ACEP Board of Directors when it meets in September. This month, we'll meet the President-Elect candidates.

The other night, during a busy shift, a mid-60s woman came into my ED via ambulance with hypotension and inferior changes concerning for a ST-elevation MI on the EMS-transmitted ECG. Upon arrival, we confirmed the ECG changes and activated the catheter lab, and shortly thereafter, the patient went upstairs for catheterization and stenting. The system worked—a life was saved! Unfortunately, our dysfunctional, fragmented U.S. healthcare system is under siege and threatened from many directions, both internally and externally. While the system worked today for my patient, will it work tomorrow for your patient or family member with a life-threatening emergency?
Assuring appropriate financial and societal support remains a critical external threat to EM. Longtime emergency physician Paul Seward recently penned an article on Stat News describing EDs as "the 'chewing gum and duct tape' holding together U.S. healthcare." As the cost of healthcare in the U.S. has skyrocketed, EDs are viewed as the healthcare safety net—or as stated by a previous U.S. president: "I mean, people have access to healthcare in America," he said. "After all, you just go to an ER." Out-of-pocket medical expenses are mounting astronomically while insurance companies are making record profits. Many Americans are only one medical emergency away from poverty or homelessness. We, as frontline providers, see this on a daily basis. Our EDs may be our neighbors' front door to the hospital, but it is our window to the problems seen in our communities.
ACEP must, and I will, continue to fight to assure high-quality emergency care for all Americans. This is a multipronged approach, including legal, educational, and lobbying activities on both federal and state levels. Last summer, while having lunch with my senator, Ben Cardin, the federal champion of the prudent layperson standard, he was shocked to learn that prudent layperson was under siege again. ACEP and the Medical Association of Georgia are suing Anthem BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia for their policy allowing for retrospective denial for some care delivered in EDs. Previously, we sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to require transparency of data and fair insurance coverage for emergency patients who are "out of network" because of a medical emergency. Our lobbying and educational efforts include almost daily interactions with policymakers and regulators, including high-quality, effective presentations at the RVS Update Committee, to assure that we are paid for the work that we do. We must, and I will, fight to make sure that we receive fair compensation for the care we deliver through supporting legal action, developing coalitions and partnerships, and testifying in front of politicians and the public.
"ACEP must, and I will, continue to fight to assure high-quality emergency care for all Americans. This is a multipronged approach, including legal, educational, and lobbying activities on both federal and state levels." —Jon Mark Hirshon, MD, PhD, FACEP
However, assuring fair compensation is only one external threat we face. The ever-increasing regulatory burden remains a significant problem, negatively impacting our productivity and our well-being. We face this concretely on a daily basis with the growing burden of documentation as enforced by our electronic medical records. For every five minutes I spend with a patient, I spend 15 to 20 minutes documenting. This negatively impacts my rapport with patients, coworkers, and trainees. Reducing administrative burdens is critical and was a central theme of my testimony earlier this year before the House Committee on Ways and Means' Health Subcommittee on reducing administrative burdens for physicians in the Medicare program. Decreasing regulatory burdens and improving our work environment are critical aspects of improved care delivery and emergency physician well-being. This will be a critical objective of my time as ACEP President.

A federal judge has allowed punitive damages to go forward in Kline & Specter's case against Olin Corp., the manufacturer of a rifle the law firm claims is defective and resulted in injuries to a father and daughter while on a hunting trip in rural Pennsylvania. Previously, U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer of the Western District of Pennsylvania had found in favor of the plaintiffs in permitting two experts to testify in the case about a defect in the design of the Winchester Model 94 and that Olin should have issued warnings about the rifle. The incident occurred in 2009 when Wayne Trask and his daughter, A.T., who was 10 years old at the time, were hunting from a tree perch and dropped the rifle. The gun was half-cocked and in the safe position but it discharged, striking the father in his right leg and A.T. in a finger. Wayne Trask underwent several surgeries but lost his leg due to infection. His daughter had part of her finger amputated.


Oh, so it's just the Yankees who need punishing, eh?
I think Hal and Hank Stienbrenner better step up then!
His mascara is probably running too...faster than his urine down his leg!
This is how a frustrated little tyrant tosses off, eh?
I think I's raise a giant yellow fiberglass arse at the DMZ with "Lil' Kim" branded on it and ask "That all you got?"!
I think somebody is going to get a B61-12 suppository!
What kind of bullsh*t is that? And then toss on some fear-mongering of large-scale conflict?
Seriously...did y'all not turn the fuel off on Ukraine and Europe? That's a pretty mean sanction...especially in winter. Did y'all refrain from military action in Ukraine? Umm...no. Did y'all only engage in "unconditional dialogue" with Ukraine? Clearly not.
And that was against a neighbor...not some jihadi-dominated sh*thole like Chechnya...you treated a neighbor like that!
It appears to me we should do as you act not as you say.
Announce the South Korean's have invited them in on their behalf to annex the North and unite a people unfairly divided from their ancestral heritage and all is well!!! One Korea, United!!!
Putin being putin all of a sudden he's all about give peace a chance.
Not anything new, that nation...especially during starvation times when "rumors" of striping trees of bark and cannibalism run rampant...the nation is near collapse and susceptible to military coups...but it adds an element...er elements of...danger...and people with nothing to lose might do some very batshyt crazy stuff!
Heh! Never would have seen this from the likes of Obama, Clinton...or the Bush's!
...OK then. A hammer hitting a genuine nail for once!
The lusty-heart knows all, eh?
Please, Jimmy...just STFD and STFU or better yet just FOAD!!!
Another target of the cypto-currency slam - China.
This is hilarious - "Rocket Man"!
And this - Trump, in a tweet, asserted that long lines for gas were forming in North Korea, and he said that was "too bad."
Causing as much butthurt in Proglodytes as the obviously fake and obviously funny Trump gif of him knocking Hildabeast down with a golf shot!
Great Hairy Balls! I have never heard someone talk like this in the UN before, certainly no POTUS in living memory!
He called him "Rocket Man" at the UN!
Said he would "destroy" his sad regime!
No more of this faggoty sh*t!
But, overall...cue the Big Balls dance!
Boy...I sure hope we aren't done triggering progs!
I had to steal those I couldn't help it!
I'm still liking the proglodyte butthurt over this speech...best one since Reagan left office IMO!


ARSENAL have been encouraged to make contact with Auxerre to discuss a move for Paul-Georges Ntep before Roma, Chelsea, Aston Villa or Tottenham swoop.
The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with the Gunners since November but the players agent, Mario Knez, insists rumours of an agreement are premature.
However, Knez believes Auxerre are more than open to letting the youngster leave and has encouraged clubs to make contact.
He told TMW: "An agreement with Arsenal? There's no truth to that.
"And Roma also interested? No, at the moment there have been no contacts with them.
"Is he leaving in January? It's certainly an option, he is having a great season and Auxerre are ready to start a negotiation."
Late last year, Ntep was asked about the interest from England and indicated his preference for a move to Arsenal, but only if he is going to get opportunities to play.
He said said: "Arsenal is a club that appeals to any player.
"This is a club that relies on young people. After that, it's always the same question - it depends on the project. Arsenal, yes, but to do what?
"If this is a club where I am going to sit on the bench, then where is the progression?
"I'm not saying I want to go to a big club to start immediately but at least that can happen in the medium term."

On the OTR side, have you heard of any drivers not being able to get miles?
Yes it does happen. Some areas have more freight and some have less. So it will happen from time to time. Please be patient. Try and get on an engineered lane as soon as you can. They have guaranteed miles.
I live in East Tennessee, so hopefullyI can get a dedicated run in that regioneventually.
It basically depends on your driving. With no accidents or citations, you could reach it in about 2-3 years. I can't remember exactly how long it took us.
The website as well as the info given out by recruiters clearly states that a student hazmat driver will be paid 52 cpm in approximately 4.5 months after hire.... ~280 hours of training with a trainer at 525.00 per week, then ~90 days as a team driver at 42 cpm, then ~52 cpm after that. each driver receives 52 cpm , the total miles are evenly split between team members. so for example if the truck does 5000 a week each driver will be paid 52 cpm X 2500 miles = $1300.00 gross.
So you can reach 52 cpm in about 4.5 months not 2-3 years.
here is a link to there website that has that info... they also give out PDF documents which clearly states the pay options and time frames..
This is one time I enjoy being wrong.
Sounds like some kind of wacko religious cult. With most companies the best advice i'd give is always be reliable make sure your loads are delivered on time, and try not to be argumentative with staff and put on a happy face!
46 cpm with per diem... After training if you need it and 180 days Im pretty sure if you don't have the experience coming in the door.


Everyone is getting super excited about Rio Olympic Games 2016, and I am no exception! I am in Macau for an overnight trip (see my review of the hotel room here), and what is more befitting than having some Brazilian barbecue for dinner?
Belcancao is located on the ground floor of the hotel, and serves a selection of Asian and Western cuisine in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The one thing you have to know about Macau in general is that most of the buffet restaurants here offer exceptional value, and Belcancao is no exception! Buffer dinner here costs MOP498 per head from Monday – Thursday, and MOP598 per head from Friday – Sunday, and the Brazilian barbecue is available from now until 31 August 2016.
I start off my meal with a cocktail (MOP88) and am surprised to see that it does not come in a glass, but in a jar!
The restaurant is currently offering Brazilian barbecue meats and the meats are freshly grilled in the outdoor area of the restaurant. Just looking at this makes me hungry!
Waiters then bring the barbecued meats around the dining area to offer them to guests. These grilled chicken wings are sizzling hot and very enticing!
I also thoroughly enjoy the grilled sirloin steaks.
There are 3 Brazilian dipping sauces to go with the meats. If you are not a heavy meat eater, be sure to try out the grilled garlic bread and cinnamon pineapple!
There is an excellent selection at the buffet, including a cold seafood bar with freshly shucked oysters and lobsters.
There is are also a range of meats, such as roast beef, barbecued pork, roast goose and steamed fish.
For carb-lovers, you can feast yourself at the pasta or soup noodle stations.
The desserts do not disappoint, and I particularly adore their corner of Portuguese desserts, including the Portuguese egg tart and molotoff.

    .directive('mdAutocomplete', MdAutocomplete);

/**
 * @ngdoc directive
 * @name mdAutocomplete
 * @module material.components.autocomplete
 *
 * @description
 * `<md-autocomplete>` is a special input component with a drop-down of all possible matches to a custom query.
 * This component allows you to provide real-time suggestions as the user types in the input area.
 *
 * To start, you will need to specify the required parameters and provide a template for your results.
 * The content inside `md-autocomplete` will be treated as a template.
 *
 * In more complex cases, you may want to include other content such as a message to display when
 * no matches were found.  You can do this by wrapping your template in `md-item-template` and adding
 * a tag for `md-not-found`.  An example of this is shown below.
 *
 * @param {expression} md-items An expression in the format of `item in items` to iterate over matches for your search.
 * @param {expression} md-selected-item-change An expression to be run each time a new item is selected
 * @param {expression} md-search-text-change An expression to be run each time the search text updates
 * @param {string=} md-search-text A model to bind the search query text to
 * @param {object=} md-selected-item A model to bind the selected item to
 * @param {string=} md-item-text An expression that will convert your object to a single string.
 * @param {string=} placeholder Placeholder text that will be forwarded to the input.
 * @param {boolean=} md-no-cache Disables the internal caching that happens in autocomplete
 * @param {boolean=} ng-disabled Determines whether or not to disable the input field
 * @param {number=} md-min-length Specifies the minimum length of text before autocomplete will make suggestions
 * @param {number=} md-delay Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait before looking for results
 * @param {boolean=} md-autofocus If true, will immediately focus the input element
 * @param {boolean=} md-autoselect If true, the first item will be selected by default
 * @param {string=} md-menu-class This will be applied to the dropdown menu for styling
 *
 * @usage
 * ###Basic Example
 * <hljs lang="html">
 *   <md-autocomplete
 *       md-selected-item="selectedItem"
 *       md-search-text="searchText"
 *       md-items="item in getMatches(searchText)"
 *       md-item-text="item.display">
 *     {{item.display}}
 *   </md-autocomplete>
 * </hljs>
 *
 * ###Example with "not found" message
 * <hljs lang="html">
 * <md-autocomplete
 *     md-selected-item="selectedItem"
 *     md-search-text="searchText"
 *     md-items="item in getMatches(searchText)"
 *     md-item-text="item.display">
 *   <md-item-template>
 *     {{item.display}}
 *   </md-item-template>
 *   <md-not-found>
 *     No matches found.
 *   </md-not-found>
 * </md-autocomplete>
 * </hljs>
 *
 * In this example, our code utilizes `md-item-template` and `md-not-found` to specify the different
 * parts that make up our component.

Ciclo de vida é o conjunto de transformações por que podem passar os indivíduos de uma espécie para assegurar a sua continuidade.

Algumas definições se referem especificamente ao ciclo de vida do indivíduo, inclusivamente considerando o seu final com a morte do organismo; outras se centram no processo de reprodução sexuada, apesar de referirem os ciclos de vida assexuados.

Na realidade, conhecem-se variados tipos de ciclos de vida e, em muitos casos, existe alternância, ou mesmo coexistência no mesmo indivíduo, de gerações sexuadas e assexuadas. No caso das angiospermas, por exemplo, é frequente que a mesma planta que produz sementes produza também estolhos, outra forma de reprodução assexuada. Contudo, é através da reprodução sexuada que as espécies conseguem manter a variabilidade genética necessária à sua sobrevivência, não só através da troca de genes entre diferentes indivíduos, pela cariogamia, mas também pela recombinação, possível durante a meiose.

Em organismos eucariontes
Conforme a nomenclatura proposta por Nils Svedelius, do ponto de vista da ploidia, ou seja, do número de complementos cromossômicos nas células, podem considerar-se três tipos de ciclos de vida nos organismos que se reproduzem sexuadamente:
 ciclo de vida haplobionte, em que há apenas um tipo de organismo adulto;
 ciclo de vida haplobionte haplonte, se a forma adulta é haploide;
 ciclo de vida haplobionte diplonte, se a forma adulta é diploide;
 ciclo de vida diplobionte, em que há dois tipos de forma adulta, uma haploide e outra diplóide.

Existe alguma confusão na literatura entre as palavras "haplobionte" e "diplobionte", que são muitas vezes associadas respetivamente a indivíduos haploides e diploides. No entanto, a palavra haplobionte tem origem na língua grega e significa "seres simples", ou seja, que apresentam apenas um tipo de indivíduos, sejam haploides (ou haplontes) ou diploides (diplontes). A palavra "diplobionte" indica seres vivos com um ciclo duplo, ou seja, em que aparecem alternadamente indivíduos haploides e diploides. As palavras "haplodiplonte" e "haplodiplobionte" são ambíguas e devem, portanto, ser evitadas. Nos diversos ciclos de vida, a meiose ocorre num determinado momento. Por esse motivo a meiose tem diferentes denominações, dependendo dos ciclos de vida. Assim sendo, no ciclo de vida haplobionte-haplonte a meiose é pós-zigótica ou inicial, no haplobionte-diplonte é pré-gamética ou final e no diplobionte é pré-espórica ou intermediária.

Ciclo de vida haplobionte haplonte (H,h)
Muitos protistas e fungos apresentam todas as células somáticas haploides. Nestas espécies, apenas o zigoto, formado pela fusão de gametas, é diploide; e normalmente sofre imediatamente meiose para formar esporos (células haploides) que darão origem aos novos indivíduos por mitoses.

Ciclo de vida haplobionte diplonte (H,d)
Nos animais e alguns protistas, todas as células somáticas são diploides. Os animais e algumas algas possuem, no entanto, uma linhagem de células germinativas, que vão dar origem aos gametas por meiose.

Ciclo de vida diplobionte (D,h+d)
As plantas vasculares, os briófitos e algumas algas apresentam alternância de gerações entre indivíduos diploides, que produzem esporos haploides por meiose, o esporófito, e indivíduos haploides que produzem gametas por mitose, o gametófito. Nas plantas vasculares, apenas os pteridófitos apresentam indivíduos diploides e haploides separados, respetivamente o indivíduo adulto e o protalo. Nas espermatófitas, o gametófito feminino, representado pelo tecido nutritivo haploide (gimnospermas) ou pelo saco embrionário (angiospermas) e o gametófito masculino, representado pelo tubo polínico (gimnospermas e angiospermas), são "parasitas" do esporófito, enquanto que nos briófitos, o esporófito está representado pelo indivíduo formado pelo pé, pela seta e pela cápsula, onde existem esporângios que formam esporos haploides por meiose. O esporófito se desenvolve a partir do zigoto nos tecidos do gametófito, sendo este a forma adulta.

Em protozoários
Em muitos protozoários, não se conhece a reprodução sexuada, uma dos modos já observada foi a fissão binária, em que apenas ocorre a mitose do núcleo; em muitos outros, no entanto, observam-se várias formas de reprodução sexuada, ocorrendo principalmente quando as condições ambientais são adversas. Podemos assim dizer que, nestes organismos a reprodução é uma alternância de gerações assexuadas e sexuadas.

Para além da fissão binária, foram ainda observadas outras formas de reprodução assexuada, como o brotamento, em que uma célula continua as suas funções vitais, enquanto o núcleo se divide e migra para a membrana, onde se forma uma larva que posteriormente se liberta. Noutras espécies, como o Plasmodium (o organismo responsável pela malária), ocorrem múltiplas mitoses na mesma célula, dando origem a uma multidão de esquizontes, num processo conhecido como esquizogonia.

No que respeita a reprodução sexuada, forma igualmente observadas várias modalidades, em que existe união de duas células. Em alguns casos, como na paramécia e outros ciliados, o micronúcleo sofre meiose e núcleos-filhos são trocados, para depois se juntarem dentro de cada uma das células; pode considerar-se este processo como um tipo de conjugação, em que as células parentais mantêm a sua individualidade. Noutros casos, as células sofrem uma singamia completa, dando origem a uma célula zigótica; nalgumas espécies não existe diferenciação, mas noutras observa-se anisogamia, com a formação de células (ou "sexos") diferentes.

So it's important that you do exactly as we say.
First, pack a bag. And a person with long, dark hair. Pack that, too. That's important.
Then, book a flight to Wyoming.
There's a small cluster of tepees just outside the entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Go to them.
Okay, so we lied about that danger part. And we don't have any instructions. Except maybe to check out Yellowstone Under Canvas, a decidedly hedonistic take on camping that involves tepees with hardwood floors, hot showers and riverside cocktail parties, booking now.
Yellowstone's great. You know that. It's all big and majestic-y. Full of geysers, mountain lions and places to die. Oh, about that last part. Probably best to avoid that. Probably best to book a Deluxe Safari Tent with a wood-burning stove, a private patio and your own adjacent tepee bathroom instead.
And if you plan on venturing into Yellowstone for a while (it's only a few miles away), they'll even rent you a tepee for up to a week.
Try not to pitch it over a geyser.

Is the Pope really welcome in America?
But despite it's large Catholic population, is America still fundamentally Anti-Catholic?
Yes of course it is anti catholic. They are tolerated because they don't support abortion or gay rights.
With the alrewady substantial and still growing influence of hispanic voters being courted by both Democrats and Republicans, the Pope will always be welcome by the politicians. Catholics vote.
George Bush went out to Andrews AF base to welcome him personally. That is highly unusual apparently. Other interesting factoids. ... Bush's brother Jeb converted to Catholicism, when he married his catholic wife.... There are more Catholic judges on the US Supreme court than any other religion. So, maybe it's just the Bush family that likes them, but I doubt it.
That article "The Last Acceptable Prejudice" is a terrible whinge.
It isn't an anti-Catholic country. There are pockets of anti-Catholicism in the more in-bred and time-warped parts of the South, but then there are pockets of anti-Communist and anti-Extra-Terrestrial hysteria in the same parts. There is also the usual trendy liberal bleating about the Church's 'oppression' of one group or another, which is seen in every advanced country on Earth. I would say Ireland has more problems in this regard than America, virtually every Irish comedian, and many commentators, in the 1980s and 1990s had no other material than how bad the Church was, how personally oppressed they were. This infantile whinge-fest is still common here.
The KKK relaxed its restriction on Catholic membership 20 years ago and has stricken off all edicts attacking Catholicism.
Catholic values have been espoused as being consistent with American values by more and more elements of the far right. This is in line with a more accommodating view of Judaism.
Intolerance in the States is far more colour or nationality orientated these days.
Kerry was a Catholic, his religion was never mentioned as being problematic in the last US presidential election. Indeed there are moves within mainstream conservatism and evangelicalism in the US to unite all the sects of Christianity against the perceived threat of Islam.
Ultra conservative Evangelists and Catholics have far more in common than not.
Read a book on the Blackwater company some time back and what was very interesting was that many of the leading Neo-cons were Catholic, something I had not known.
I would say overall he is probably welcome in America. It gives the impression that he is happy to turn a blind eye to U.S policy as he is prepared to talk with Bush. I think this will make the majority of americans feel content. I dont aspire to either's point of view but my respect for the pope is at an all time low.
Met on arrival by the US President and 9,000 people sing him Happy Birthday at the White House's largest gathering of the Bush Administration.
The pope and his immediate predecessor often spoke about their opposition to war, particularly the invasion of Iraq. Interesting then that the pontiff chose to fly into Andrews Airforce Base which has been the source of many US military attacks on that country. Didn't previous popes fly into JFK - a civil airport?
Well, that could be because Andrews in near Washington D.C and JFK is in New York!!!
So anybody who talks to Bush is turning a blind eye to US policy !!!!!!!!!!
If the only foreign heads of state allowed to visit George Bush are pro-Iraq War then the Israeli President may as well move into the Lincoln bedroom.
Andrews AFB is home of Air Force 1 and is a very tightly controlled facility. Given that flying into a civilian airport means its effectively locked down the airport for 5-6 hours before hand then fling into AFB has a lot of logic behind it.
Popes have spoken to other leaders with a lot more blood that Dubya.
There is a difference between that and actively supporting the war - as Paisley and Co did - why no censure there?
Now that his visit is over, the answer to the question is clearly a resonding YES. Pope Benedict has taken America by storm. Huge crowds. Huge media attention. For almost a week Hilary Clinton, Barak Obama and John McCain have been also-rans when it came to media attention. And as for poor old Gordon Brown, who foolishly chose to visit America at the same time as the Pope, he barely got a mention. The visit proves that America remains a religious country and that Catholics in America are among its most patriotic citizens. It was very moving to see the crowds waving Stars and Stripes and Papal flags while singing God Bless America. The small anti-God minority in America has been routed. On the downside, the visit will probably widen further the divide between God-fearing America and the ghastly atheistic countries of most of Europe (Ireland and Poland being exceptions of course). The Atlantic is getting wider and wider. Its impossible to imagine a visit by the Pope to virtually any European country attracting such crowds or such media attention. Ireland, however, is different and a Papal visit here should be arranged as soon as possible.


Studies were carried out in 1989-1993 of a naturally occurring tetrapJoid arbor tea (Thea gymnogyna) tree discovered in Sichuan province. This arbor tea tree was found to be cheracterized by thick trunk, erect posture, oval leaf, kidney -shaped seed, reduced fertility, slow sapling growth and poor adaptability. Containing high levels of water soluble matter, poiyphenols and catechms and low levels of coffeine and with a high ratio of poiyphenols to free amino acids, its flush id considered to be suitable for manufacturing black tea.

. [27 Oddest Medical Case Reports]
Before the bizarre diagnosis, the 59-year-old had tried topical steroids to treat his nasal woes. When that didn't work, he visited the the otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) department at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. There, a CT scan revealed a mucus-covered mass on the floor of his nasal cavity, the passageway through which air whooshes when we breathe through our noses.
The CT scan of the man's nasal cavity showed a mass within.
Credit: Copyright 2019 BMJ Case Reports
The man's doctors immediately suspected that the man had either a dermoid cyst — a growth that some people are born with that contains structures such as hair, teeth, fluid or skin glands, or an impacted tooth — one that has been prevented from growing normally in the mouth.
The man promptly had surgery to remove the mysterious lump. An examination of the mass revealed the stray tooth, which was covered with inflamed nasal tissue.
Doctors used an endoscope (a flexible tube with an attached light and camera) to take this photo before they extracted the tooth from the man's nose.
It's not entirely clear why the patient developed the anomaly in his nose. Cases such as this one are rare, occurring in just 0.1 to 1 percent of the population and more commonly in men, the doctors wrote in the report. Sometimes, teeth can grow in a person's nose because of trauma or infections that affect either area. Developmental problems such as a cleft lip or cleft palate can also cause errant teeth to grow in the nose, the authors noted.
"In our case there was no obvious explanation," the doctors wrote in the case report. The patient had experienced a facial trauma in his youth (both his jaw and nose were fractured), but the doctors said this injury probably didn't cause the tooth to grow in his nose.
Instead, it's likely that the man had the tooth in his nose for most of his life, but he only started experiencing symptoms when the area became inflamed.
Dr. Alex Farag, assistant professor of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio, who wasn't involved in the case, said that the report is a reminder that "you always have to keep your mind open when you're thinking about chronic sinusitis and what the causes could be."
Overall, cases like this one are "quite rare," Farag told Live Science. However, the man's symptoms did match the eventual diagnosis: A foreign body in the sinuses will indeed impact how well the sinuses function, he said.
Often, when a patient comes in with symptoms such as these – including congestion in just one nostril, loss of smell and chronic nasal discharge – doctors will first try treating them with drugs, such as antibiotics, antihistamines or steroids. If those treatments don't work, then a medical imaging scan, such as a CT scan, can usually identify the problem, Farag said.
One month after the man's surgery, he had recovered and was no longer experiencing symptoms, the doctors said in the report.

Q: What is the point of a Java interface? In all the new applications I've built from scratch, I've never seen the need for an interface, I've read up in the past in text and subsequently ignored and forgotten the real need.
That said, here is a question I've seen asked in the past, which I'll use to ask this particular question by example...
Lets say I have this interface:
public interface IBox
{
    public void setSize(int size);
    public int getSize();
    public int getArea();
    //...and so on
}

And I have a class that implements it:
public class Rectangle implements IBox
{
    private int size;
    //Methods here
}

Used as follows:
public static void main(String args[])
{
    Rectangle myBox=new Rectangle();
    // do stuff.
    System.out.println( myBox.getSize() );
}

Given that I still have to write the setSize getSize getArea methods in the Rectangle class.
Given that Rectangle with these methods, would still work even without the IBox interface.
What is the point of having the Ibox interface other than to publicize or dictate or describe the setSize getSize getArea methods?

A: Well, let's not answer it directly first. Let's say that we have a static method scaleBox() that takes a box and scales it. Obviously HexagonalBox won't extend Rectangle. We'd need a scaleBox(HexagonalBox h) and a scaleBox(Rectangle r). We can have both of these boxes implement IBox and have one method, scaleBox(IBox box). That method is guaranteed a setSize().
Since an interface is a type, you can have many classes that don't extend each other implement that interface, and get passed safely(as they are guaranteed to obey the contract that is expected when accepting an interface as a parameter)
On a related note coming up for JDK 8 next year, you'll need specially-designed interfaces in order to use the lambda feature in that new release.

A: Your example is fine. What you left out was what would happen if you wanted your code to work with other types of boxes. If you hard code for Rectangle, it would be near impossible to add other specifications such as Square (assuming Square is specialized enough to have it's own implementation). Think of the following:
public void DoSomethingWithBox(Rectangle box)
{
    // Do something with the box.
}

Now, you'd have to write an overload to take a square if you wanted. Or, you could simply have both Rectangle and Square implement the interface which means you could change your single method to:
public void DoSomethingWithBox(IBox box)
{
    // Do something with the box.
}

And it can now be called by anything that implements your IBox interface.

Schaeffer hopes the logo will take hold as a meaningful symbol for local audiences, who are increasingly expressing support for homegrown artists. "It's one of those things that will take time to get going, but I think over time people will recognize it and see it and go, 'that's fantastic'," Schaeffer says.
And this logo has no ego. Signature is inviting all DC theaters to use the design for their own programming that highlights local playwrights. For Schaeffer, it's a quick and easy way to promote the local writers who have earned a vote of confidence from established production companies. "They can just kind of stamp it on things," Schaeffer says.
It's a literal stamp of approval, but it's also an important gesture for area playwrights. According to Schaeffer, "Once we got it out in the world, there were so many who said, in an email or Facebook message, 'Oh my god, thank you!'"
The logo's outreach is another step in expanding Signature's muscular new work programming. SigWorks, which includes a biweekly Monday night play reading series featuring local playwrights, is led by Joe Calarco, who's entering his second year as the theater's full-time director of new work. "Last year we had over 75 submissions of plays from local playwrights," Schaeffer says, noting that the rate of submissions is climbing in Calarco's sophomore season.
As for the DC Playwright logo, it's already playing its part on Signature's marketing materials for the season opener, The Gulf, a world premiere by local playwright Audrey Cefaly. Cefaly's script was plucked from SigWorks submissions last year and is enjoying a meteoric rise through Signature's development process.


The fixed-rate loan option can mean more security. Is a fixed-rate option useful to you? Fixed interest rate is an interest rate for a liability, such as a loan or mortgage, that remains the same either for the entire term of the loan or for part of the term. When you are considering buying a home, you also need to consider the type of mortgage loan that works best for you and your finances.
A fixed rate loan has interest that does not vary over the years. Obtaining a fixed interest rate is a good "standard" choice as you always know what your cost (and the month' payment) will be. If you lend cash, you repay the loan by repaying interest. While there may be a few other charges, interest is usually the primary reason for how much a loan is expensive: higher interest means higher cost.
It is therefore important to know how your tariff works and whether your tariff can be changed. Fixed interest rate? A loan may have floating interest or fixed interest rates that vary over the years. A fixed interest rate allows you to repay the same (fixed) interest rate over the term of your loan.
Obviously, this is important because the interest rate affects how much your monthly pay is: if the rate is increasing, your needed months could also be increasing - and you might not be able to make those higher payments. What is more, if the rate is increasing, your needed months could also be increasing - and you might not be able to make those higher payments. What is more, if the interest rate were to rise, you could not be able to make those higher months. What is more, an interest rate that is rising is also increasing the cost of whatever you purchased with borrowed money. What is more, the interest rate is also increasing the cost of whatever you purchased with borrowed funds.
For an example of how the numbers vary with a higher interest rate, connect some numbers to a loan repayment calculator: you will find that a higher interest rate results in higher interest cost per month (and a higher payment). The interest rate changes all the time as the economies grow and shrink. At a fixed interest rate, your loan is immune to these changes.
As a rule, fixed-rate mortgages are more secure than variable-rate mortgages: you know what to look forward to, and you can make plans for the upside. We have innumerable tales of borrower who experienced a "payment shock" when interest on their floating rate borrowings rose. Interest rate fixed rate loans usually begin with higher interest charges than floating-rate ones.
The interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgages, for example, can be one to two per cent higher than the interest rate on a variable-rate mortgages (ARM). These differences can cause a drastic shift in your total amount of money paid each month - and it is often enticing to opt for the lower amount (with a floating rate loan).
Declining interest rates: Sometimes a fixed-rate loan is the wrong option - but you will seldom know in advance. When interest rate falls after you receive your loan (and remain lower for a long time), a floating rate loan would have been a better business. Unfortunately, the timings of interest rate movements are quite challenging.
This said if interest rates are at historical heights and are expecting to drop - and you get a long run loan like a 30 year mortgage- it might make sense to at least consider a loan at floating rate. Refinance: If interest rate falls and you have a fixed rate loan, it is not the end of the road.
They can always try to get refinanced into a cheaper, cheaper loan. You must, however, be qualified for the new loan, and your position (creditworthiness, leverage, etc.) may have change. Fixed interest rate can (sometimes) also be less attractive if you take out a loan for a while.
Since they come with higher interest rate levels than floating rate mortgages, it is a good idea to evaluate how long you will keep the loan. A number of floating rate borrowings retain the same starting rate for five years. Should you anticipate getting the loan out early, it might make good business sense to opt for the lower (variable) loan.
Unfortunately, living doesn't always work the way you plan it to, so you need some security and luck in order for this policy to work. What is the best way to obtain a fixed-rate loan? Those loan are easily found. Historically, a 30-year fixed-rate home loan has been the most frequent way to buy a home.
When you go to a 15-year mortgage, you could get an interest rate that is competitively priced with a variable-rate mortgages. Only interest-bearing credits can have fixed interest charges (but are to be used at risk). Car loan and Bundesschülerdarlehen are often fixed rate loans: You receive a fixed amount of money each month, which does not vary, and you repay the loan amount over the years.
A lot of consumer credits also have fixed interest charges, but credits are an important exemption. Your interest rate can often vary with the use of your card and other line of credit and sometimes not in your favour.
Which is the current interest rate?

RPNYC return from 2014 Youth Regattas in Sydney
By Pedro Morgan on	 November 30, 2014 Youth Scheme News
The Youth scheme has recently been represented at the Harken Youth International at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and the Musto Youth International at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, both in Sydney.
At the Harken regatta we had Sam Mackay leading the team of Ben Caundle, Kate Johnson- Lee, Stuart Williams and Will Eastman. The team got through the round robin stage relatively easily relishing in the moderate to heavier breezes. However when it came to the semi-final stages the breeze was down and the team had to take on a far lighter team. This made it difficult to keep the racing close if their opposition from CYCA got a sniff of the lead. Unfortunately they ended up losing the semi. However the team bounced back well to defeat the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Team in the petit final to take out the third place overall.
For the next event at CYCA Will Eastman jumped off the bow to helm the boat and James Ayr replaced Stu Williams in the middle of the boat. In a very tough Round Robin phase the team won 7 races to tie for fifth with four other boats before going into the knockout stages. With a tough tiebreak the team only had the opportunity to sail off for ninth and tenth place. They sailed well to claim ninth overall.
The Youth Scheme Squad will continue training over summer in the build up to the Youth International in Auckland and the CentrePort Youth Regatta in February 2015.

Have a go day

India heading towards revamped National Anti-doping Programme: Sujata Chaturvedi
New Delhi [India], November 26 (ANI): Secretary of Sports of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports for the Government of India Sujata Chaturvedi noted that 2022 onwards has been very exciting for sports in India.
She listed several marquee games, starting with the Khelo India games in Bengaluru, followed by Khelo India Youth Games in Haryana, the first Chess Olympiad and the recent National Games organised this year. "We are heading to more games and events as we go along in the next year", she said.
Secretary Chaturvedi outlined numerous developments under the Khelo India scheme and said, "More than 2000 athletes are inducted into the talent development programme of Khelo India. They receive an out-of-pocket allowance and other support".
She added 600 rural and small Khelo India centres have been opened across the country, where past champions get a chance to work with and nurture the young talent. Further, 29 Centres of Excellence under the Khelo India scheme were set up in various states. The Sports Ministry collaborates with state governments to ensure that top-quality state athletes get trained and nurtured at those centres.
The Secretary informed me that the ministry is coming up in a big way on starting Women's Leagues. "We've had archery, football and various other sports coming into these leagues", she said, adding, "I can assure you it's going to be a huge deal in the coming years because we support inclusion in sports".
Sujata Chaturvedi underscored that India had become part of a select club of countries having their anti-doping law. "We are now heading towards a completely revamped national anti-doping programme housed in our National Anti-doping Agency". In addition, she emphasised proper regulated testing facilities for the dietary supplements industry, which is primarily unregulated, leading to athletes inadvertently getting tested positive for prohibited substances. She said, "We recently entered into an MOU with the National Forensic Science University, Ahmedabad and the Food Safety Standards Authority of India, for a lab to help with the dietary supplement testing".
On occasion, India's World Championship medallist Anju Bobby George underlined the unique potential of sports in empowering women. "Women in sports defy the perception that they are weak or incapable. In many countries, it has been seen that sport can be a force to amplify the human voice and tear down gender barriers and discrimination," said Anju Bobby George.
Manika Batra, said, "sports has taught me to be brave, strong, and never give up in life". In her message to upcoming and aspiring women athletes, she added, "just be fearless and do whatever you want to do".
Neha Mathur Rastogi, Co-Chair, of the Sports and Youth Affairs Committee, FICCI and Founder, WordsWork Communications Consulting, spoke on the need for a meaningful dialogue on critical priorities by bringing everyone together. "There is a lot of power in working together and collaborating. Sports, as an industry, is a shining example of that", she said.
Sanjog Gupta, Chairperson, SportsYouth Affairs Committee, FICCI and Head - Sports, Disney Star, said, "if we want more sports champions, we need more champions of sport".
The event witnessed the official launch of the UNESCO Knowledge Paper on the sports development landscape of India: "More than a Game". The paper aims to better understand India's current sport for development landscape. Through exploratory research, the paper highlights how diverse sports-based organisations and initiatives are increasing social impact across the country. The report also outlines their contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The eleventh edition of FICCI Turf was attended by 250 industry stakeholders, including policymakers, leading sportspersons and industry leaders. (ANI)

Senate Intel Committee Just Foiled Trump & Nunes' Cover-Up

Jared Kushner's Shady $400 Million Chinese Real Estate Deal Just Blew Up In His Face
In stark contrast to the circus of an investigation in the House of Representatives that's unraveling under the "leadership" of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) , leaders from both parties in the Senate stood shoulder-to-shoulder today and sent a clear, bipartisan message to the President, the House, and the country: We'll take it from here.
In a press conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday that projected much-needed confidence and competence, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Mark Mark Warner (D-VA), the Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, gave reporters a preview of what can be expected from their already underway investigation. Their committee's first open hearings will take place tomorrow.
"This one is one of the biggest investigations the Hill has seen in my time here," said committee Senator Burr, adding, "…this investigation's scope will go wherever the intelligence leads it."
Senator Burr oversaw the investigation into President George W. Bush's secret CIA torture project, so he knows what he's talking about.
Among the headlines emerging from this press conference are the witnesses the committee intends to interview. 20 individuals have already been notified that they will be questioned in the probe. According to Chairman Burr:
"As we stand here today, five are already scheduled on the books, and probably within the next 10 days the remaining 15 will have a scheduled date for those individuals to be interviewed by our staff. We anticipate inviting additional individuals to come and be interviewed, and ultimately some of those interviewed individuals may turn into private or public hearings by the committee, but yet to be determined."
Of note, the witness list includes Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign manager, and Senior White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Paul Manafort's dubious ties to Russian oligarchs have been slowly unearthed for months. Just last week, Occupy Democrats reported on the money trail from a billionaire associate of Vladimir Putin that ended in accounts under Manafort's name at bank in Cyprus run by associates of both Putin and Trump.
Jared Kushner, meanwhile, is under a newly formed cloud of suspicion, with news breaking only this week that he held at least one meeting during the transition period with one Sergey N. Gorkov, the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank (VEB).
The meeting raised red flags because of VEB's known close ties to Vladimir Putin himself, and because the White House failed to previously disclose that Kushner had in fact met with that bank's chairman.
Kushner, Manafort, and the other 18 witnesses should help investigators paint a full picture of the President's tangled web of associations with some bad hombres linked to the Kremlin.
And now that the big boys in the Senate have ripped the baton out of Rep. Devin Nunes' incompetent hands, the finish line for investigations into Trump's ties to Russia should finally be reached.

Featured Condo › Exec condo comes with luxury feature
Exec condo comes with luxury feature
A 394-unit executive condominium (EC) project located along Upper Serangoon View is banking on a love of luxury to draw buyers.
Heron Bay's developers said that the project will feature living rooms with ensuite private pool cum jacuzzi, complimentary fibre broadband service from M1 during the first year of occupancy, a hydroactivated water swimming pool with "healthful cell-hydration properties" and a seasports recreation centre with kayaks for free rental, among other amenities.
Said Vincent Ong, managing partner of Evia Real Estate Management, one of the five partners behind the project: "We are introducing a premium class EC with a number of luxury condominium features, as well as other pampering and thoughtful design touches."
The plan is to "differentiate Heron Bay from the competition, as well as provide home buyers with more value for their home investment", he added.

Q: Getting ListView Item's Id on Item's BoxView click in Xamarin.Forms I am trying to extract the ListView Item's Id but when I click on the BoxView nothing happens.
This is my XAML(extract from the ListView's ViewCell):
<BoxView Grid.Column="1" BackgroundColor="Transparent" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
                                <BoxView.GestureRecognizers>
                                    <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding DetailsCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" NumberOfTapsRequired="1"/>
                                </BoxView.GestureRecognizers>
                            </BoxView>

And This is my code:
DetailsCommand = new Command(ShowDetails);

public async void ShowDetails(object obj)
    {
        var selected = obj as Tasks;
        await _navigation.PushAsync(new DetailsPage(selected.Id));
    }

But when I click on the BoxView nothing happens.

A: If the Command is in the code behind of the ViewCell, then you must set the source of your Command Binding to the view cell. Example below.
<BoxView.GestureRecognizers>
    <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding DetailsCommand, Source={x:Reference Cell}}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" NumberOfTapsRequired="1"/>
</BoxView.GestureRecognizers>

Then on the ViewCell you need to have the x:Name set. This must be set for the Binding x:Reference to work.
<ViewCell x:Name="Cell">

Edit
ViewModel.cs
public class ViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<MyObject> ItemsSource { get; set; } = new ...
}

MyObject.cs -- This is the BindingContext of your ViewCell
public class MyObject
{
    public int Id { get; }
    public ICommand DetailsCommand { get; }

    // Other properties if needed

    public MyObject(int id)
    {
        Id = id;
        DetailsCommand = new Command(ShowDetails);
    }

    private async void ShowDetails()
    {
        var selected = obj as Tasks;
        await _navigation.PushAsync(new DetailsPage(Id));
    }
}

In the MyObject class, you can pass in an Id value when creating your ItemsSource and do not need the CommandParameter anymore also.
All in all, your DetailsCommand needs to be in the MyObject.cs class that is being used as an object in your ItemsSource and not your ViewModel.

K-Pop, Marketing, & Image
March 25, 2012 By ristephens
Much of K-Pop's success can be traced to two causes: the desire amongst Koreans to develop a profitable cultural industry, and the calculated marketing strategy of Korean talent agencies. Following a messy financial crisis in 1997, the Korean government sought to re-invent its country's image, diversify the range of its products, and enter new markets. As Doobo Shim writes in Hybridity and the Rise of Korean Popular Culture in Asia, "Koreans have just begun to realize that culture can be as profitable as semi-conductors or cars" (Shim 30). K-Pop has allowed the nation to capitalize on the market for pop culture. But how has it done this?
This is where the talent agencies come in. They have a sophisticated and well-calculated system, which Lee Soo Man of SM Entertainment has dubbed "Culture Technology," in order to create a global brand out of K-Pop. The Culture Technology process is three-fold: (1) exporting cultural products – i.e. placing Korean artists in Japan and singing in Japanese; (2) creating international collaborations – i.e. bringing together a Taiwanese and Korean singer for a song; and (3) globalizing the product – i.e. cooperating with musicians around the world to create a global brand for SM that will hopefully produce a global K-Pop star. Before any of this can take place, though, agencies like SM will subject talented youths to years (between three and seven, according to Man) of training in music, dance, acting, and foreign languages. Through this process, SM can create images for its artists and cater these images to individual foreign countries. K-Pop star BoA has music videos in English which play more off sex, whereas her Japanese music videos portray her as more cute and innocent – an image that is popular in Japan, where J-Pop stars often consist of young, teenage boy/girl bands.
In this sense, K-Pop artists often lose much of a sense of individualism and become more a product of their agency's marketing techniques. BBC highlighted some of the "dark sides" of K-Pop in this 2011 article, such as contracts that have lasted as long as 13 years. Yet the article also suggests that the globalization of K-Pop may actually help its artists with regard to bargaining power, a concept much newer to parts of Asia than to the United States. Regardless of agencies' contractual power over their artists, their power over the industry is indisputable. With agencies continuing to promote intercultural sights and sounds into their artists' songs, the product is losing some of its Korean roots and becoming increasingly global. As a 2011 article in the Harvard Business Review argues, K-Pop is beginning to transform into "U-Pop": universally popular music.

Corrective rape (engl. "korrigierende Vergewaltigung", "Korrekturvergewaltigung"; auch curative rape, "heilende Vergewaltigung") ist ein Euphemismus in der englischen Sprache, der die Vergewaltigung von homosexuellen Menschen bezeichnet, mit der Absicht, dadurch die sexuelle Orientierung des Opfers zu ändern.

Geschichte
Der Begriff ist vor allem für Geschehnisse in Südafrika gebräuchlich, wo über 30 Vergewaltigungen mit Todesfolge bekannt sind. Am 7. Juli 2007 wurde das lesbische Paar Sizakele Sigasa und Salome Massooa vergewaltigt und ermordet. Daraufhin entstand die 07/07/07 Campaign, eine Koalition verschiedener Menschenrechtsgruppen, die sich für die Opfer solcher Angriffe einsetzt. Ein international Aufsehen erregender Fall ereignete sich im April 2008, als die frühere südafrikanische Fußball-Nationalspielerin und LGBT-Aktivistin Eudy Simelane von einer Gruppe Männer vergewaltigt und anschließend mit 25 Messerstichen ermordet wurde. Hier kam es zur Verurteilung eines Täters zu einer Gefängnisstrafe. Das Gericht befand, dass die sexuelle Orientierung des Opfers keinen Einfluss auf die Tat gehabt habe.

Die südafrikanische Psychologin Kerry Frizelle bezeichnet corrective rape als hate crime, bei dem die Opfer aufgrund ihres Geschlechts und ihrer sexuellen Orientierung doppelt diskriminiert würden.

Albert Henry Bowtell (27 June 1887 – 11 July 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Family
The son of David Walmsley Bowtell, and Mary Ann Bowtell, née Davies, Albert Henry Bowtell was born in Collingwood on 27 June 1887.

He married Ethel May Harcombe (1888-1920) on 18 January 1911. His second wife was Alexandrina Victoria Clark (1887-1973), née Patten.

Football
One of nine new players in the team, Bowtell played his only First XVIII match for St Kilda against Carlton, at Princes park, on 29 July 1911.

The other new players were: Roy Cazaly, Claude Crowl, Peter Donnelly, Alf Hammond, Otto Opelt, Rowley Smith, Tom Soutar, and Bill Ward — and, including that match, and ignoring Harrie Hattam (16 games), Bert Pierce (41 games), and Bill Woodcock (65 games), the very inexperienced team's remaining fifteen players had only played a total of 46 matches.

Death
He died at his Preston residence on 11 July 1948.

Allison: The Chick from Intervention With the Computer Cleaner Cans.
Ok. So I need to start out by saying that I know that I'm going to burn in hell for making fun of the girl from Intervention. I know I am. I'm at peace with it. I know it's wrong. I know it's horrible. I know it's low morals. I know it's extremely bad karma. But, have you guys seem the latest episode of A&E's Intervention? Seriously. Best. One. Yet. You totally knew it was going to be good when they're showing you the preview of the episode and the chick screams into the camera, "It's Like I'm Walking On Sunshine!" Honestly, watching Intervention makes me feel like I'm walking on sunshine.
So this chick Allison is a premed student, insanely smart, (has odd eyebrows) and is crazy addicted to inhaling those cans that you use to clean your computer. You know, you buy them at Office Max? Yeah, those. Here's the thing. In order to be addicted to inhaling these cans you have to be all sorts of committed. The buzz only lasts 3-5 minutes so you have to constantly inhale these cans all day long. Let me repeat that. All day long. Allison literally buys 10 cans of this shit a day and inhales it every 3 to 5 minutes. I don't have the dedication to get addicted to this shit.
Ok so here's the other thing about Intervention. And I know this is horrible, but when they get to the part where they show the first baby picture of the addict you know, you know, they were molested. No joke. It's like cue the baby pictures and…..BAM molested! Every time. Clearly this chick was molested and, not only has an eating disorder, but also cuts herself to try to cope. When she's not inhaling computer cleaner and screaming on the floor she's cutting. It's a full time job.
Oh, and she's been married like 3 times already. She meets a guy, they go out for 2 months and then get married. Then the guy divorces her because she can't put down the can. For some reason while talking about her marriages they kept on showing her playing the flute while in college. I'm not sure what the flute has to do with it. Wait, maybe because the flute was in her mouth then years later it was the computer cans? Can playing the flute cause addiction? Oh and it gets better. She has this "sugar daddy" who takes care of her financially, but he's married and has two kids. While I thought that was bad enough I cringed and giggled like a school girl every time her family would refer to him as the "sugar daddy." I was like, stop saying sugar daddy!
Ok, so then they cut to the intervention itself. But here's the deal. Intervention is on from 9-10pm. The intervention part of the show usually airs around 9:40-9:45 leaving like 15 minutes for the intervention itself and the follow up. Not this time. Not. This. Time. BAM! The intervention starts at 9:30, so you totally know this is not going to go well if there's like 30 minutes left. Yeah, it doesn't go well. Allison bails from the intervention, which I believe is a first, so then the following happens. They randomly all Animal Control to come and take her cats away. And then the mother calls the "sugar daddy" to tell him that if he keeps talking to Allison she's going to tell his wife. Seriously, what!?
Allison goes back to the red barn she lives in and when Animal Control comes to take her cats she pitches a fit and then the police take her into custody. Ok so it's not that funny, but it kind of is. The cops tackle her and one grabs her arm and the other grab her legs and they're swinging her like a jump rope. No joke I was waiting for someone to start doing double-dutch over her.
So she goes to jail, is released after 7 hours, and then finally decides to go to rehab after her family cut her off. The good news is that she's been sober since May 2008. The bad news is that she dyed her hair this crack-head blond color while in rehab and looks worse. Oh, and she still talks to the "sugar daddy." Yeah, that's going nowhere fast.
Honestly, this was one of the best Interventions ever. I love watching the reality shows on A&E. It makes me feel smart. Like I'm watching smart television.
It's Like I'm Walking On Sunshine: Allison from Intervention: The Remix!
My Computer Has an STD
Oh. My. God. "Failure Model Chick" Was on Intervention!!!!!!!
So That Chick from Goonies and That Other Chick from Grease are Friends, I Guess.
